Our Business

Established in 1957 and later listed on the TWSE in 1962, we are a manufacturer and seller of cement, clinker, cement-related products and ready-mixed concrete ("RMC"). With two integrated cement manufacturing facilities and two major RMC subsidiaries, we are the second largest cement producer in Taiwan with total annual cement production of approximately 4.6 million MT in 2009. We are also the controlling shareholder of ACC China which is the entity through which we hold cement manufacturers in the PRC, primarily in our core markets in Sichuan, Jiangxi and Hubei provinces, and the Yangzhou and Shanghai areas. As of December 31, 2010 we effectively held 72.29% of ACC China. ACC China's annual cement production in 2009 and 2010 was approximately 14.4 million MT and 20.0 million MT, respectively. Our cement sales accounted for approximately 75% and 76% of our consolidated operating revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

Our long-term investments totaled NT$55.6 billion (US$1.8 billion) as of December 31, 2009, and NT$57.9 billion (US$1.9 billion) as of September 30, 2010, accounting for 34.0% and 35.0% of our total consolidated assets, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, our major investment holdings included, directly and indirectly, 25.29% of FENC and 39.74% of U-Ming Marine Transport Corp. ("UMTC"). FENC is an affiliated company of ACC and is one of the leading manufacturers of polyester and related products in Asia. UMTC provides marine transportation for cement, dry commodities and industrial raw materials.

Dividend contributions from UMTC and FENC represented approximately 64% and 28%, respectively, of our 2009 total cash dividends received from equity-method investees.

For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, and the nine months ended September 30, 2010, our consolidated net income was NT$10,096.0 million, NT$7,472.6 million, NT$8,955.0 million (US$287.1 million) and NT$5,375.7 million (US$172.4 million), respectively. As of December 31, 2010, ACC had a market capitalization of approximately NT$99.18 billion.

Our Strengths

We operate in a competitive industry. We believe our historical success and our potential for future growth are based on the following:

  • our leading market positions in the Taiwan cement market as both a leading domestic- and export capable producer, and through ACC China, in the PRC cement market which is experiencing rapid growth;
  • our experienced management team and its solid operational track record driven by production efficiency, competitive cost structure and an extensive sales network;
  • our commitment to more environmentally-friendly production processes;
  • our early entry into specific regional areas in the PRC through ACC China, which helps position the Company for growth; and
  • our synergistic integration and collaboration with subsidiaries and affiliates in the Far Eastern Group.

Our Strategies

Our goal is to be a leading provider of cement products and further increase our presence in the international cement markets through continued expansion in the PRC through ACC China. We aim to achieve this by executing the following strategic initiatives:

  • maintain a solid position as a market leader in Taiwan;
  • strategically invest in capacity expansion and increase our scale in selected regions in the PRC through ACC China;
  • strengthen our sales network and broaden marketing channels both domestically and internationally;
  • enhance profitability by increasing production efficiency through cost reductions and process improvements;
  • evaluate and pursue attractive strategic cooperation opportunities that may lead to acquisitions or joint ventures; and
  • extend our global market by expanding in emerging markets.

FENC's Business

Established in 1954, FENC is a leading producer of polyester and related products in Asia and is one of the largest producers of polyester polymer, including PET resin, in the world. With an expanding business scope which now includes real estate and equities, FENC changed its name from Far Eastern Textile Limited ("FETL") to Far Eastern New Century Corporation on October 20, 2009 to better reflect its current business scope. FENC's common shares have been listed on the TWSE since 1967. It changed its stock symbol from FETL to FENC to reflect its name change in January 2010.

FENC has extensive interests in other member companies of the Far Eastern Group which engage in cement production, property development, retailing, finance and chemicals. The following table sets forth FENC's main investments through direct and indirect holdings as of January 19, 2011.

In line with its new business scopes and strategies, FENC recently purchased through a subsidiary 70% of Martens Beer Trading (Shanghai) Limited Corporation on March 24, 2010.

For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008, 2009 and the nine months ended September 30, 2010, FENC had consolidated net income of approximately NT$17,331.3 million, NT$10,317.6 million, NT$14,623.8 million (US$468.86 million) and NT$14,084.7 million (US$451.6 million), respectively. FENC had a market capitalization of approximately NT$239.88 billion as of December 31, 2010.

FENC's Strengths

FENC believes its success to date can be attributed to the following competitive strengths:

  • leadership in the polyester industry and strong relationships with branded customers;
  • superior research and development capabilities for new and improved products;
  • established presence in the PRC;

  • experienced management team; and

  • portfolio of investments across a wide variety of industries such as telecommunications, cement, retailing, banking and real estate development, which provides diversified sources of cash flow and growth opportunities.

FENC's Strategies

FENC's principal goal is to maintain and strengthen its position as one of the world's leading polyester companies and to enhance shareholder value. FENC aims to accomplish this through the following strategies:

  • invest in product development to maintain industry leadership and improve on margins;
  • strategically expand FENC's presence in overseas markets;
  • improve operating efficiency and enhance profits;
  • continually upgrade its product mix;
  • leverage synergies with the Far Eastern Group; and
  • realize the untapped value of idle land through selective real estate development projects.

FENC aims to continually upgrade its product mix and enhance its research and development ability to maintain its leading position in the polyester industry. Furthermore, FENC will expand its green energy business by developing more recyclable materials, such as chips, bottles and fibers, as well as biodegradable polymers made from polylactic acid. FENC has been focusing on the production of higher margin non-textile polyester products. In the next five years, FENC plans to build two PTA production facilities, one in Guanyin, Taoyuan County, Taiwan, and the other in Shanghai, China, in order to raise the annual production capacity of PTA to 4.0 million tons from the current capacity of 1.6 million tons.

Recent Developments

Potential Joint Venture with China Shanshui

On November 19, 2010, ACC and ACC China entered into a non-legally binding Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with China Shanshui, a company which also manufactures and sells cement and clinker in the PRC.

Pursuant to the MOU the parties have indicated their intentions to enter into a cooperative arrangement ("Possible Cooperative Arrangement") to carry out cement-related businesses in the provinces of Liaoning and Inner Mongolia in the PRC. In order to implement the Possible Cooperative Arrangement, ACC China, or through its HK or PRC incorporated subsidiaries, will invest in China Shanshui through the acquisition of existing and/or new equity interests in various subsidiaries of China Shanshui or their holding company ("JV Companies"). ACC China intends to invest in not more than 30% of the equity interests in the JV Companies. In addition, ACC intends to purchase less than 10% of the entire issued share capital of China Shanshui from existing shareholders of China Shanshui.

The parties agreed not to negotiate with any third parties relating to any matters under the MOU before May 1, 2011, or such later date as agreed among the parties. Detailed terms and conditions for the Possible Cooperative Arrangement will be subject to further negotiations and due diligence.

There can be no assurance that any binding agreement(s) will be signed among the parties. Even if binding agreements are later entered into, ACC and ACC China may not be able to fully realize all of the anticipated benefits of this cooperative arrangement. We cannot assure you that the proposed expansion into the Liaoning and Inner Mongolia regions will be successful and that

ACC or ACC China may be able to generate sufficient profits to justify the costs of such expansion. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to both ACC and FENC—ACC, ACC China and FENC may undertake mergers, acquisitions or investments to expand their businesses that may pose risks to their businesses and dilute the ownership of existing shareholders, and neither may be able to realize the anticipated benefits of these mergers, acquisitions or investments.”

Potential Joint Venture between FENC and Sinopec Yizheng Chemical Fibre Company Limited

On December 20, 2010, FENC entered into a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with Yangzhou Chemical Industry Park and Sinopec Yizheng Chemical Fibre Company Limited (“YCF”). YCF, a listed company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Shanghai Stock Exchange, belongs to China Petrochemical Corporation (or Sinopec Group) and is the second largest polyester producer in the PRC. FENC and YCF aim to ensure supply sufficiency through this project to meet the increasing demand for PTA. While details of the cooperation remain subject to further discussions between FENC and YCF, FENC will apply for the investment approval from the MOEA.

Pursuant to the LOI, FENC and YCF agreed to establish a joint venture company in Yizheng city, Jiangsu province of the PRC to construct a green-field PTA plant located in the Yangzhou Chemical Industrial Park. This project is based on the license granted to YCF by the National Development and Reform Commission of the PRC to construct a PTA plant with an annual capacity of 1.0 million MT. FENC plans to hold 60% while YCF holds 40% of the equity interests in this joint venture company, the total invested capital of which is estimated at RMB 3.8 billion.

There can be no assurance that any conclusive agreement will be signed between the parties. Even if such agreement is later entered into, FENC may not fully realize all of the anticipated benefits of this cooperative arrangement. We cannot assure you that this joint venture will be successful and that FENC may be able to generate sufficient profits to justify the costs of expanding their business in the PRC. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to both ACC and FENC—ACC, ACC China and FENC may undertake mergers, acquisitions or investments to expand their businesses which may pose risks to their businesses and dilute the ownership of existing shareholders, and neither may be able to realize the anticipated benefits of these mergers, acquisitions or investments.”

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and other information contained in this offering memorandum before investing in the Bonds. The risks and uncertainties described below may not be the only ones that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are not aware of or that we currently believe are immaterial may also adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. If any of the risks described below actually occurs, the business, financial condition and results of operations of ACC or those of FENC could be seriously harmed, the trading price of the Bonds or the Reference Shares could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to them elsewhere in this offering memorandum.

Risks Relating to ACC

Our business is affected by the level of activity in the construction industry which is affected by the general economic conditions in Taiwan and the PRC.

Our and ACC China's cement business is substantially affected by the general level of activity in the construction industry in Taiwan and the PRC. General economic conditions, mortgage and interest rate levels, inflation, unemployment, demographic trends, gross domestic product growth and consumer confidence are some of the factors which may influence the performance of the construction industry. A downturn in the construction industry in Taiwan, the PRC or in any of the regional markets in which we operate could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

In particular, our business in the PRC through ACC China depends significantly on the level of activity and growth in the construction industry of ACC China's core markets in Jiangxi, Sichuan and Hubei provinces, and Yangzhou and Shanghai areas. Any slowdown in the growth of these provinces and areas, or a general downturn in the construction industry, particularly any decrease in activities related to the government infrastructure projects, could affect the demand for our and ACC China's products, which in turn could have a material and adverse effect on our and ACC China's business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are exposed to the risks of increasing energy and raw material costs, and the inability to secure a steady supply of such resources.

Our and ACC China's energy costs in connection with the purchase of coal and electricity contribute a significant portion to our costs in the cement business. The energy costs relating to our cement business accounted for approximately 47% of the total production cost in ACC's Taiwan cement business and 50% of the total cost of sales in ACC China's cement business in 2009. In the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the energy costs related to both of our cement business accounted for approximately 49% and 50% of total production cost in Taiwan and the cost of sales in the PRC, respectively.

Coal is one of the principal sources of energy used by both companies to fuel the cement operations, and we rely heavily on being able to procure a steady supply of coal. We and ACC China use a substantial amount of electricity in our production. Therefore any shortage or interruption in the supply of coal or electricity could disrupt our operations and increase the costs of sale for both ACC China and us. In both Taiwan and China, we and ACC China have implemented waste heat recovery systems in order to generate electricity and reduce the power costs.

With the exception of limestone, which is sourced from our own limestone quarries, raw materials used in the production and operations, such as fly ash and iron sand, are purchased from external suppliers. These materials are subject to a high degree of price volatility caused by external conditions such as fluctuations in commodity prices and changes in government policies and programs. In the past the prices we and ACC China had to pay for such raw materials have experienced volatile fluctuations. The costs of raw materials accounted for approximately 14% of the total production cost in our Taiwan cement business and 22% of the total cost of sales in the PRC cement business in 2009, and 14% of the total production cost in our Taiwan business and 25% of the total cost of sales in the PRC business for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. We cannot assure you that our or ACC China's key suppliers will continue to provide us with raw materials at reasonable prices, or that the prices we pay for raw material or energy will

remain stable in the future. In addition, we and ACC China may not be able to transfer some or all of the increase in costs to the customers. As a result, any increase or material fluctuations in the prices of the raw materials or energy could have a material adverse effect on our and ACC China's business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to cement price fluctuations, and our competitiveness depends on our ability to control costs and maintain high levels of operational efficiency.

Our and ACC China's financial performances are highly dependent on the prevailing prices of cement and other related materials in the markets in which we operate. Historically, such prices have been influenced by the forces of supply and demand dynamics, market conditions, overall economic growth as well as a variety of other factors beyond our control. Government actions may also affect cement prices. These external factors, in addition to the volatility of the markets in which we and ACC China operate, render cement prices difficult to predict. Any substantial or extended decline in cement prices would adversely affect the results of our operations and financial condition.

Our and ACC China's competitiveness, long-term profitability and ability to undertake the capital expenditures necessary to expand our business depend on whether we are able to control our costs and maintain high levels of operational efficiency. Such efforts include minimizing the costs of extracting raw materials and managing other costs such as power, labor and transportation. The production costs of us and ACC China are also affected by production volumes, and thus our ability to maintain production levels and maximize capacity utilization is a key factor in determining our overall competitiveness.

There can be no assurance that either we or ACC China will be able to maintain or increase our production volumes in the future. A sustained and material decline in our product prices, a significant rise in our production costs, or a decline in our production volumes or capacity utilization could each have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may have difficulty in managing our future growth in the PRC if our business operations and construction of new facilities are disrupted by reasons beyond our control.

We have been expanding our cement business in the PRC through ACC China. We will continue to expand our production, distribution, and processing network for cement products in our target markets through ourselves and/or through our subsidiaries and/or affiliates. As part of this growth strategy, ACC China is currently constructing new rotary kilns for cement production as well as new grinding facilities at various plant locations. All of these new production facilities are expected to commence production within the next few years.

During the construction of these new production and grinding facilities, ACC China may face various risks, such as cost overruns, delays in completion or other factors that are beyond their control. Factors which may contribute to delays and cost overruns include price changes and availability of key equipment or materials, the cost and availability of financing, risks relating to construction, changes in safety and/or environmental requirements, changes in the economic conditions, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, accidents and unforeseen circumstances and problems in the PRC. In addition, this planned future growth will require significant managerial, operational and financial resources.

If we cannot manage the growth of ACC China effectively, or if there are any significant delays in the completion of any of these projects or a material increase in the costs of any of these projects, the implementation of our business strategy in the PRC and our financial performance may be adversely affected.

If the capital resources required for the future expansion of our capacity in the PRC through ACC China are not available, we may be unable to successfully implement our business strategy.

Our ability to expand the PRC manufacturing facilities operated under ACC China will continue to depend largely on our and ACC China's ability to obtain sufficient cash flow from operations and/or external funding. We expect ACC China to make substantial capital expenditures in connection with the expansion of their manufacturing capacity in the PRC,

^{}[] 21

including the investments in the Jiangxi province in 2012 and in the two new cement and clinker production lines of Jiangxi Yadong Cement Co., which are planned to be completed by 2014. These capital expenditures will be made well in advance of any additional sales generated from the results of these expenditures. Our profitability may be adversely affected if ACC China does not have the capital resources to complete the expansion plans or if their actual expenditures exceed planned expenditures for any number of reasons which can include changes in:

  • their growth plan;
  • market conditions;
  • prices of equipment; and
  • interest rates and foreign exchange rates.

We cannot assure you that the required additional financing will be available to us or ACC China on satisfactory terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available on satisfactory terms at appropriate times, ACC China may have to curtail its expansion plans, which could result in a loss of customers and adversely affect our ability to implement our business strategy successfully and in turn limit the growth of our business.

If we fail to attract and retain skilled technical personnel, our operations and expansion plans would be adversely affected.

Our success depends on our and ACC China's ability to attract and retain skilled employees, particularly engineering and technical personnel within the research and development and manufacturing processing divisions. Without a sufficient number of skilled employees, our and ACC China's operations and manufacturing quality would suffer. Competition for qualified technical personnel and operators in Taiwan and the PRC is intense and replacing or finding new skilled employees is difficult. We and ACC China may encounter this problem in the future as we require increased numbers of skilled employees for our expansion. Any failure to attract and retain our technical personnel and other employees may adversely affect our business, and our operating efficiency may deteriorate.

We, along with many of our customers and suppliers, are vulnerable to events beyond our control, which may seriously disrupt our operations.

Disruptions of the operations at our facilities, ACC China's facilities or the facilities of our customers and suppliers for any reason, including work stoppages, power outages, water supply shortages, fire or other events, could cause delays in the manufacturing and shipment of our and ACC China's products. We believe that both we and ACC China are able to manage our sources of raw materials to respond to any such events. Any delays or disruptions of our operations could cause our customers to seek their supply of cement products from other manufacturers.

We and ACC China depend on seaborne freight, rail, trucking, overland conveyor and other systems to deliver our products to the market. Disruptions of these transportation services due to weather-related problems, key equipment failures, strikes, lock-outs or other events could temporarily impair our ability to supply commodities to our customers and thus could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Even though both we and ACC China seek to coordinate our delivery logistics to improve our turnover performance, our ability to increase export sales, for example, may be restricted by available port capacity which may adversely affect our ability to increase turnover.

A large proportion of our operating revenue is derived from the PRC market through ACC China.

Sales from the PRC have consistently made substantial contributions to our operating revenue in the past three years. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, the revenue contribution from the PRC market accounted for approximately $35.5\%$, $45.7\%$ and $56.6\%$, respectively, of our corresponding total cement-related operating revenue in Taiwan and the PRC Market. Moreover, most of our current expansion plans in the cement business, including our investments in Jiangxi province and in the two new cement and clinker production lines of Jiangxi Yadong Cement Co., are focused on increasing production capacity in the PRC.

Therefore, we expect that our reliance on the Chinese market and ACC China, through which we now conduct all of our Chinese business and operations, will increase in the future. Any factors that may adversely impact the Chinese cement market or ACC China's business will have an increasing influence over our overall business, operational results and financial position.

We rely on income from our interests in other member companies of the Far Eastern Group.

Historically, we have derived a substantial portion of our net income from our equity interests in other member companies of the Far Eastern Group, including FENC and UMTC. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008, 2009 and the nine months ended September 30, 2010, our investment income from equity-method investees was NT$7,173.3 million, NT$5,088.5 million, NT$4,361.1 million (US$139.8 million) and NT$4,730.1 million (US$151.7 million), respectively, accounting for approximately 71.1%, 68.1%, 48.7% and 88.0%, respectively, of our corresponding consolidated net income. The results of operations of other Far Eastern Group companies in which we do not have a controlling interest may be adversely affected by a variety of factors beyond our control. There can be no assurance that our investment income from equity-method investees will continue to contribute positively to our total consolidated net income.

Our largest shareholder is FENC, which may be able to exert significant influence on our management, policies and corporate actions.

FENC directly and indirectly owned 24.05% of our issued and outstanding common shares as of December 31, 2010 and is a substantial shareholder of ACC. In addition, several directors, supervisors and executive officers of FENC, including its chairman, also serve in official capacities at the Company. As a result, FENC may be able to exert influence on our management, policies and the outcome of most corporate actions through their voting at shareholders' meetings or at board meetings. FENC may take actions that you may not agree with or that are not in the best interests of us or our public shareholders.

Insurance coverage for us and ACC China may not be sufficient to cover the risks related to both of our operations and losses.

We may experience major accidents in the course of our operations. Although we maintain liability insurance, such an insurance program does not cover, or may not cover adequately, every potential risk associated with our operations and the consequences resulting from them. In accordance with customary practice in Taiwan and the PRC, neither we nor ACC China carry any business interruption insurance arising from accidents on either of our properties or relating to our operations. In addition, as a result of market conditions, premiums and deductibles for our existing insurance policies can increase substantially and, in some instances, our existing insurance may become unavailable or available only for reduced amounts of coverage. Furthermore, we and ACC China may not be able to obtain meaningful coverage at reasonable rates for certain types of environmental hazards. The occurrence of an accident, the losses and damages of which are not fully covered by insurance, could have a material adverse effect on our and ACC China's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Any failure to maintain an effective quality control system at our product facilities could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The quality of our and ACC China's products is critical to the success of our business. The quality of our products depends on the effectiveness of our quality control system, which in turn depends on a number of factors, including the design of the system, the quality control training program and our ability to ensure that our employees adhere to our quality control policies and guidelines. Any failure of our quality control system could result in the production of defective or substandard products, which in turn may result in delays in the delivery of our products, the need to replace defective or substandard products and damage to our reputation, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

PRC government control over currency conversion may limit ACC China's ability to utilize their cash effectively.

The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of the PRC. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from trade related transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of the PRC ("SAFE"), by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, foreign exchange transactions in the capital account, including the foreign currency capital in any foreign-invested enterprise in the PRC, the repayment of the principal amount of foreign currency loans and the payment pursuant to foreign currency guarantees, continue to be subject to significant foreign exchange controls and require prior approval from SAFE or its local branch. The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions.

All ACC China's revenue are in RMB which is not a freely convertible currency. Limits in the PRC on conversion of RMB into foreign currency, in particular, the NT dollar and the Hong Kong dollar, may restrict their ability to pay dividends or other payments, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency-denominated obligations. If restrictions imposed by the PRC government prevent ACC China from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy their currency demands, ACC China may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to their shareholders, including us.

In addition, since ACC China's revenue has been and will continue to be denominated in RMB, any existing and future restrictions on currency exchange may limit their ability to purchase goods and services outside the PRC or otherwise fund their business activities that are conducted in foreign currencies. This could affect the ability of their subsidiaries in the PRC to obtain foreign exchange through debt or equity financing, including by means of loans or capital contributions from us, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Relating to the Cement Industry

We operate in highly competitive markets and may not be able to compete successfully.

The cement industry is highly competitive both in Taiwan and the PRC. Although we control a significant share of Taiwan's cement market, we face intense competition from other market participants, primarily Taiwan Cement Corp. In the PRC, the market is increasingly competitive and ACC China faces competition from domestic participants with large international cement manufacturers seeking to expand their operations. We and ACC China have to compete with other manufacturers for customers, raw materials, energy and distribution resources. Many of our current and potential competitors may have better brand recognition in local markets, better pricing or greater financial, technical or marketing resources than we do. We and ACC China compete primarily on the basis of our product pricing, variety of product offerings, access to resources, sales and marketing network, production efficiency and brand image.

Recently, large cement manufacturing companies in the PRC have started to acquire smaller competitors, and further consolidation is expected to continue in this industry, which is likely to further increase market competition. Accordingly, there is no assurance that we or ACC China will be able to compete successfully with others in the future in light of the changing and competitive market environment. If we are unable to compete successfully, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Cement-related mining activities are extensively regulated. Changes in policy or regulations may cause us and ACC China to incur significant compliance costs. ACC China and us may also be unable to procure the necessary exploration or mining rights with respect to our planned projects.

Cement-related mining activities in Taiwan and the PRC are subject to governmental regulations, policies and controls, including mining safety regulations, environmental protection policies and regulations with respect to exploration rights and mining rights. The liabilities, costs, obligations and requirements associated with these laws and regulations may be significant and may delay the commencement of, or cause interruptions to, our and ACC China's mining production. For example, in June 2010, the Ministry of Economic Affairs, ROC Executive Yuan

^{}[] 24

("MOEA") refused to extend ACC's mining license because our Hsinchu plant was located in a reservation area. ACC has since filed a petition with the ROC Executive Yuan on July 1, 2010 and the petition is currently under review by the ROC Executive Yuan. We believe that the Company have complied in all material respects with the relevant laws and regulations in relation to our mining activities. There is no assurance that we will obtain a decision in our favor with respect to ACC's mining license for the Hsinchu Plant or that we will not be in any material violation of the relevant laws and regulations in the future.

In the PRC under the Mineral Resources Law, all mineral resources in the PRC are owned by the state. ACC China is required to obtain mining rights before undertaking any mining activities, and the mining rights are limited to a specific area during a fixed license period. We cannot assure you that any of ACC China's or its licenses will be renewed upon expiration or that upon expiration, ACC China will be able to renew on terms that are commercially reasonable. Failure to obtain an extension of our mining license for the Hsinchu plant, or a failure to comply with the relevant laws and regulations applicable to our mining operations, could result in the reduction of our capacity or the suspension of our cement business operations, and thus adversely and materially affect our business. In addition, there is no assurance that the relevant government agencies will not change such laws or regulations or impose additional or more stringent laws or regulations in the future.

Cement operations are subject to environmental laws and regulations, compliance of which can be expensive, and any failure to comply with these regulations could result in adverse publicity, significant monetary damages and fines and suspension of our business operations.

The cement industry is subject to national and local environmental protection laws and regulations both in Taiwan and in the PRC. Governmental requirements that affect our operations include those relating to noise, soil, air quality, solid waste management and waste water treatment. Failure to comply with these regulations may result in the assessment of damages or imposition of penalties, fines, administrative sanctions, proceedings and/or suspension of production or cessation of our operations or revocation of our licenses or permits to conduct our business. There can be no assurance that such environmental laws and regulations will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Stricter laws and regulations, or stricter interpretation of the existing laws and regulations, may result in the imposition of new liabilities on ACC and/or ACC China, or result in the need for additional investment in pollution control equipment. We cannot assure you that ACC or ACC China will be able to comply with any additional environmental regulations in the future, or enhanced implementation of existing environmental regulations, on a cost-effective manner, or at all. In such circumstances, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely and materially affected.

The cement industry is subject to significant regulation by the PRC government and subsequent introduction of new policies may affect the current and future development plans of our business.

The cement industry has traditionally been subject to government control with respect to production method and volume, product mix and environmental protection. It is an industry heavily regulated by a number of PRC government authorities including the Ministry of Land and Resources and the General Administration of Quality Supervision Inspection and Quarantine. ACC China is required to maintain certain licenses and permits in the PRC such as the cement production permit and the production safety permit. In addition, projects involving significant capital investment are subject to approval or filing requirements at different levels of the PRC government.

While the PRC government's current policies in respect of the domestic cement industry are generally market-oriented, it is expected to continue its austerity control measures within the cement industry, implementing a number of policies and measures to regulate the production of cement. This includes tightening the controls over the volume of total production, closing down smaller cement production plants to encourage efficiency and reduce pollution, further establishing stringent barriers regulations to entry and imposing strict bans on illegal production of cement. Compliance with these government regulations and policies and efforts to obtain such approvals and permits may result in significant adjustments to ACC China's current or future

^{}[] 25

development plans, increase its costs and divert its management resources, which may adversely affect its, and in turn our, profitability and growth aspects. Any changes to the existing requirements may result in additional expenses for ACC China's operations, and we cannot assure you that it can meet all future requirements on a timely manner, or at all.

Risks Relating to FENC

FENC operates in a highly competitive industry and may lose market share if it does not compete successfully.

The polyester business is highly competitive. FENC competes with large, vertically-integrated polyester manufacturers and numerous smaller manufacturers. FENC faces both domestic and foreign competitors, which include many companies that are larger in size and have greater financial resources. The principal factors that influence the purchasing decisions of FENC's customers include service, product quality and price. The importance of these factors is determined by the needs of particular customers and the characteristics of particular products. In addition, companies of any size, more specialized manufacturers or multinationals with greater financial resources, may enter the polyester market in the future which would further intensify the competitive environment. There may also be significant consolidation in the polyester industry. Furthermore, FENC's competitors may price their products aggressively resulting in more intense competition. Increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced margins and losses of market share, any of which could materially and adversely affect FENC's results of operations.

FENC has to be able to introduce new products or find new applications in order to meet the ever changing customer needs on a timely basis.

New applications of non-fiber polyester has been FENC's key focus in recent years, as it has gradually shifted its focus of production from polyester fibres to more value-adding materials such as packaging materials and industrial fibres to counter intense competition from PRC manufacturers. The amorphous PET sheet with anti-static characteristics is widely accepted by the electronic industry for the purposes of packaging LCD panels, computer hard drives, and other computer peripheral equipments. These products have better profit margin and have less competition as the entry barrier is higher and the ingredients required for these products take more R&D work to discover. FENC currently produces recycled fibre and chips from recycling bottle-chips and owns the only, and the biggest, recycled chip production line in Taiwan. FENC also produces bio-chips from bio-based MEG, which is derived from the fermentation of plants instead of crude oil. With this capacity FENC is currently also the largest provider globally of low-melt staple fiber, which is used for thermal bonding purposes.

By introducing new products and applications, FENC was able to counter the challenges it has faced in the conventional polyester business. FENC's continued success will depend greatly on its ability to respond quickly to emerging customer requirements and to develop new products in anticipation of future demand amidst a rapidly changing competitive environment. Any delay in FENC's development of commercially successful products offering reliable quality and advanced features may adversely affect its business.

FENC generally does not enter into long-term contracts with its apparel and textile customers, which exposes FENC to uncertainty and potential volatility with respect to its revenue from period to period.

FENC typically only enters into short-term purchase orders with its apparel and textile customers. Its customers may cancel, reduce or defer purchase orders at will. Accordingly, the volume of its customers' purchase orders and its product mix may vary significantly from period to period, and it is difficult for FENC to forecast future order quantities. No assurance can be given that any of FENC's customers will continue to place purchase orders in the future at the same level as in the current or previous periods, or at all. Furthermore, the actual volume of the purchase orders of FENC's customers may be inconsistent with FENC's expectations. As a result, its results of operations may vary from period to period and may fluctuate significantly in the future.

FENC is subject to volatility in key raw material prices and depends on access to such materials.

FENC uses purified terephthalic acid ("PTA") and mono ethylene glycol ("MEG") as the principal raw materials in the manufacture of polyester chips. Both PTA and MEG are products derived from the processing of crude oil. Accordingly, the prices of PTA or MEG are dependent on various factors, including oil prices and natural economic forces. The prices that FENC pays for PTA and MEG tend to be cyclical and subject to significant volatility. If FENC is no longer able to purchase PTA and MEG at reasonable prices, its margins will be adversely affected. In addition, any interruption of FENC's supply of PTA or MEG would adversely affect its ability to manufacture polyester chips. FENC cannot predict worldwide supply and demand for PTA and MEG with certainty and, therefore, it cannot be assured that it will be able to obtain adequate supplies of PTA and MEG at acceptable prices in the future.

Cyclical changes in product pricing may adversely affect FENC's results of operations.

The markets for polyester products are sensitive to changes in industry capacity and output levels, cyclical changes in regional and global economic conditions and changes in consumers' demand for particular fibers or packaging materials, all of which can have a significant impact on selling prices and on FENC's results of operations. Prices for most of FENC's products, particularly commodity textile polyester products, PET bottle resins, and PET bottles are based on, or affected by, regional and global prices, which tend to be cyclical and subject to significant fluctuations. In addition, the supplies of PTA and its principal feed stock paraxylene ("PX"), an ancillary by-product of the crude oil refining process, have been inelastic in recent years, mainly because (i) large capital investment is required to build a PX facility; and (ii) the time to construct a green field PX plant takes more than three years due to the time it takes for engineering design and procurement of the equipments. As a result, there were many PX projects launched during 2005 and 2006 which did not commence commercial operations until the end of 2009. Compared to 2007, margins for some of FENC's products in 2008 and 2009, principally polyester staple fiber, polyester filament and yarn, declined significantly, reflecting excess capacity in the polyester industry and FENC's inability to pass the raw material costs to downstream customers. There can be no assurance that prices or margins for FENC's products will continue to improve or be maintained at current levels.

Changes in environmental regulations could adversely affect FENC's results of operations.

FENC is subject to a variety of laws and regulations relating to the use, storage, discharge and disposal of chemical by-products of, and water used in, its manufacturing process. Although FENC has not suffered from material environmental claims in the past, environmental claims in the future or the failure to comply with any present or future regulations could result in the assessment of damages or imposition of fines against FENC, a suspension of production or a cessation of operations. New regulations could require FENC to acquire costly equipment or to incur other significant expenses. Any failure by FENC to control the use of, or adequately restrict the discharge of, hazardous substances, could incur future liabilities.

Some of the brand owners with whom FENC has relationships are sensitive about environmental and social responsibility standards and any perception on their part that FENC fails to meet those standards could adversely affect its operations and profitability.

Some brand owners of apparel and beverage have become increasingly sensitive about their reputation with respect to environmental and social responsibility. Accordingly, brand owners (including some with whom FENC has relationships) may require manufacturers to fulfill certain environmental standards, corporate social responsibility standards and/or social responsibility standards set forth by governmental or non-governmental labor organizations. In the event that FENC fails to fulfill these standards or if it is publicly perceived to have failed to fulfill those standards or if it is otherwise publicly associated with poor environmental or social responsibility standards, FENC may experience a decrease in business which could adversely affect FENC's profitability.

27

Anti-dumping issues and potential emerging trade protection could adversely affect FENC's business, financial condition and results of operations.

FENC exports its products to nearly fifty countries. While FENC faced anti-dumping investigations from time to time in the past several years, FENC had managed to minimize the impact. For anti-dumping tariffs which FENC incurred over its products, the level of tariff was often lower than FENC's competitors. There is no assurance that FENC will be able to resolve all anti-dumping issues in the future. If FENC incurs a substantial amount of anti-dumping tariff, it may adversely affect FENC's market share in their major export markets, which in turn can have an adverse impact on FENC's business, financial condition and results of operations.

FENC derives a significant portion of its income from its telecommunications and other investments.

FENC derives a substantial portion of its consolidated operating income from its telecommunications service income mainly through its major subsidiary, Far EasTone Telecommunications Co. Ltd. ("Far EasTone"). As of October 29, 2010, FENC effectively owned approximately 41.28% of Far EasTone. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008, 2009 and the nine months ended September 30, 2010, FENC's telecommunications service revenue contributed 35.5%, 32.9%, 32.6% and 28.4%, respectively, of FENC's total consolidated operating revenue. The telecommunication market in Taiwan is highly competitive as the ROC government has gradually opened up different segments of the telecommunications industry for competition. There are three GSM operators, one PHS operator, five 3G operators and six WiMAX operators. Two of the 3G operators are new entrants to the wireless market, and the remaining three are the existing GSM operators. Wireless market growth rates in Taiwan have slowed recently as customer penetration has increased and the industry has matured. In response to the declining growth in the market, wireless operators have increased handset subsidies and offered other voice plus data bundling packages to customers in an effort to retain market share and minimize customer churn rates. Competition is based primarily on network quality and coverage, the range of services offered and customer service. In order to compete, Far EasTone may have to reduce its prices and increase its handset subsidies. Increases in churn rates and marketing and distribution expenses could adversely affect Far EasTone's results of operations. There can be no assurance that FENC's telecommunications service income will continue to contribute positively to FENC's total operating revenue.

Historically, FENC has also derived a substantial portion of its consolidated net income from its interests in other member companies of the Far Eastern Group and from gains on sales of investments, principally by the selling shares of other Far Eastern Group companies. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008, 2009 and the nine months ended September 30, 2010, FENC's investment income from equity-method investees was NT$4,473.4 million, negative NT$168.0 million and NT$3,921.1 million (US$125.7 million), and NT$1,955.7 million (US$62.7 million), respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008, 2009 and the nine months ended September 30, 2010, FENC's gain on sales of investments was NT$1,998.5 million, NT$3,077.3 million, NT$1,549.5 million (US$49.7 million) and NT$317.6 million (US$10.2 million), respectively. The results of operations of other Far Eastern Group companies in which FENC does not have a controlling interest may be adversely affected by a variety of factors beyond FENC's control. There can be no assurance that FENC's sales of investments or investment income will continue to contribute positively to FENC's total consolidated net income.

Exchange rate fluctuations could adversely affect FENC's results of operations.

For the past three years a substantial amount of FENC's net sales were denominated in currencies other than the NT Dollar, primarily the US dollar. For the same periods, a substantial amount of FENC's expenses incurred in purchasing raw materials were denominated in the NT dollar. FENC attempts to mitigate the effect of exchange rate fluctuations primarily through the use of foreign currency borrowings and forward exchange rate contracts. However, fluctuations in exchange rates between the US dollar or other currencies and the NT dollar may still have an adverse impact on its operating margins and results of operations. See "Exchange Rates."

FENC's insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover the risks related to its operations and losses.

FENC's operations are subject to hazards and risks associated with its manufacturing operations, which may cause significant harm to persons or damage to property. FENC can give no assurance that its operations will be free of accidents or that its insurance policies will be adequate to cover all losses incurred. Losses incurred and associated liabilities may have a material adverse effect on FENC's results of operations if such losses or liabilities are not covered by its insurance policies.

FENC's property development business through FERD depends heavily on the performance of the property market in Taiwan.

In 2003, FENC established Far Eastern Resources Development Co., Ltd ("FERD"), a company incorporated under ROC law, to actively manage FENC's idle properties in Taiwan. Currently, FERD is in the process of developing its idle land in Panchiao, Taiwan. As a result, FERD's business is and will be heavily dependent on the continued growth of the property market in Taiwan. Any adverse developments in the supply and demand or prices of property in Taiwan would have an adverse effect on FERD's results of operations.

The success of FERD's property development business strategy is subject to a number of risks that are beyond its control and difficult to predict, in part because the property market in Taiwan is very competitive. FERD cannot be certain of potential customer interest for its Far Eastern Telecom Park project in Taiwan and the sensitivity of potential customers to changes in real estate price, among other factors. FERD has limited established track record as a property developer and can provide no assurance that the development of its idle land in Taiwan will be attractive to customers or will produce positive cash flow or operating profits. In addition, future demand for different types of residential and commercial properties in Taiwan is uncertain. If FERD does not respond to changes in market conditions or customer preferences in a timely manner, it would have a negative impact on FERD's results of operation.

Telecommunications services are highly dependent on advancement in technology. FENC's investment in telecommunications, in particular through Far EasTone's business, is subject to various risks relating to the advent of these new technologies, including the following:

Changes in technology may render Far EasTone's current technologies obsolete or require Far EasTone to make substantial capital investments in new licenses or technologies.

If Far EasTone fails to develop, or obtain timely access to, new technologies and equipment, or if it fails to obtain the necessary licenses and spectrum to provide services using these new technologies, Far EasTone may lose customers and market share. This would have an adverse effect on Far EasTone's financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the cost of implementing new technologies, upgrading Far EasTone's networks or expanding capacity could be significant.

Financing for these new licenses or technologies may not be available to Far EasTone on commercially acceptable terms.

If the costs of implementing new technologies, including upgrading Far EasTone's networks or expanding its capacity, exceed Far EasTone's cash resources, Far EasTone will be required to seek additional debt or equity financing. Although Far EasTone currently does not expect difficulties in obtaining capital for future implementation or upgrade of technologies, if Far EasTone fails to obtain funding for its capital investments on commercially acceptable terms, it may not be able to implement or upgrade new technologies as they become available.

Far EasTone's business prospects could be adversely affected if new technologies adopted in the future do not perform as expected or if Far EasTone is unable to effectively deliver new services based on these technologies in a commercially viable manner.

Far EasTone is pursuing a number of new growth opportunities in the wireless telecommunications industry, including non-voice data services based on 3G technologies and WiMAX. These opportunities involve new services for which there are no proven markets. Far

^{}[] 29

EasTone's ability to deploy and deliver these services will depend on, in many instances, new and unproven technologies, and will also require it to incorporate several key elements into each of its new service, including compelling applications, effective navigation, a data-ready network and attractive handsets.

There are many risks inherent in pursuing these opportunities, including, but not limited to, the following:

  • New technologies, such as W-CDMA and WiMAX, may not generate an acceptable rate of return.
  • The success of Far EasTone's new data services is substantially dependent on the availability of data applications and devices that are being developed by third-party developers. These applications or devices may not be sufficiently developed to support the deployment of Far EasTone's data services, or may not be available in sufficient supply.
  • Far EasTone may not be able to develop new applications to deliver these services effectively and economically, or Far EasTone may not be able to compete successfully in the delivery of telecommunications services based on new technologies.
  • Far EasTone may not be able to generate sufficient customer demand for applications using these new technologies, for instance, consumers may find the applications too difficult to navigate with a handheld device.
  • There may not be sufficient spectrum available for Far EasTone to support these new services.

Far EasTone can neither guarantee that it will know when these services will be widely introduced and fully implemented, nor can it guarantee that such services will be successful or that customers will purchase the services offered.

Extensive regulation of the telecommunications industry may limit Far EasTone's flexibility to respond to market conditions and competition, and as a result its business may suffer.

As a telecommunications service provider in Taiwan, Far EasTone is subject to extensive regulation. Any changes in the regulatory environment applicable to Far EasTone may adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Far EasTone is under the supervision of the National Communications Commission (the "NCC"). Far EasTone has been designated by the government as a dominant provider of cellular services under the meaning provided within the applicable telecommunications regulations, and as a result, it is subject to special additional requirements imposed by the NCC. For example, the regulation regarding the setting and changing of tariffs allows non-dominant telecommunications service providers greater freedom to set and change tariffs within the range set by the government. If Far EasTone is unable to respond effectively to tariff changes by its competitors, then its competitiveness, market position and profitability will be materially and adversely affected.

The regulatory framework within which Far EasTone operates may limit its flexibility to respond to market conditions, competition or changes in the cost structure. In particular, future changes in tariff policies and rates could immediately and substantially decrease its revenue. In particular, as a Type I service provider under the Telecommunications Act, Far EasTone is constrained in its ability to raise tariffs.

In addition, Far EasTone operates its businesses with approvals and licenses granted by the government. If these approvals or licenses are revoked, suspended or not renewed, or if Far EasTone is unable to obtain any additional licenses that it may need to operate or expand its business in the manner it desires, then Far EasTone's results of operations as well as its prospects, will suffer. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in obtaining other licenses in the future as they are awarded by the NCC.

All Type I telecommunications service providers, including Far EasTone, are subject to foreign ownership restrictions under the Telecommunications Act. Pursuant to the Telecommunications Act, with the exception of Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd., the total shareholding directly owned by foreigners in any Type I telecommunications service provider may not exceed $49\%$ of its total issued shares. The total shareholding directly and indirectly owned by foreigners may not exceed $60\%$ of its total issued shares on a combined basis. There is no

^{}[] 30

automated mechanism for ensuring compliance with indirect foreign ownership limits, nor is there any way for any Type I telecommunications service provider in Taiwan to monitor changes in the nationality or jurisdiction of incorporation of domestic shareholders (for example, when an ROC individual changes citizenship). Under the Telecommunication Act, if any Type I telecommunications service provider in Taiwan fails to comply with the foreign ownership restriction, the NCC may request such provider to rectify the failure within the period prescribed by the NCC. If there is no rectification within such period, an administrative fine may be imposed and rectification may be requested within another period prescribed by the NCC. The NCC may revoke such provider's license if any such violations continue.

Increasing competition from other technologies or rapid changes in market trends, could have an adverse effect on Far EasTone's financial condition and results of operations.

New technologies, such as voice over internet protocol services, which allow users to make international voice calls over the internet, and wireless local area networks ("LANs"), which allow users to send and receive data quickly and efficiently, are attracting users and thereby increasing competition for Far EasTone. Competition from these developing technologies may cause Far EasTone to lower prices in order to retain existing customers and wireless telecommunications traffic or otherwise result in lower average revenue per user as customers use Far EasTone's services less frequently than in the past.

Many of Far EasTone's competitors are in alliances with leading international telecommunications service providers and have access to financial resources as well as other resources or technologies that may not be available to Far EasTone. Moreover, as the government continues to liberalize the telecommunications market, such as through the issuance of new licenses or the establishment of additional networks, Far EasTone's market position and competitiveness could be materially and adversely affected. Furthermore, the effect of emerging and future technological changes on the viability or competitiveness of Far EasTone's services is unpredictable.

Risks Relating to both ACC and FENC

ACC, ACC China and FENC may undertake mergers, acquisitions or investments to expand their businesses which may pose risks to their businesses and dilute the ownership of existing shareholders, and neither may be able to realize the anticipated benefits of these mergers, acquisitions or investments.

As part of the growth strategy of ACC, ACC China and FENC to increase scale in selected regions in the PRC, they may continue to evaluate opportunities to acquire or invest in other companies in the PRC. For examples, on November 19, 2010, ACC signed a non-legally binding MOU with ACC China and Shanshui which indicate the intention to enter into a cooperative arrangement to carry out cement-related businesses in the regions of Liaoning and Inner Mongolia. On December 20, 2010, FENC signed an Letter of Intent with Sinopec Yizheng Chemical Fibre Company Limited and Yangzhou Chemical Industry Park, which indicates FENC's intention to establish a joint venture company with YCF to construct a green-field PTA plant in Yizheng city, Jiangsu province of the PRC.

Mergers, acquisitions or investments that ACC, ACC China and FENC have entered in, and may enter into in the future, entail a number of risks that could materially and adversely affect their businesses, operating and financial results, including, among others:

  • problems integrating the acquired the acquired operations, technologies or products into our existing business and products;
  • diversion of management's time and attention from our other businesses;
  • conflicts with joint venture partners;
  • adverse effects on their existing business relationships with customers;
  • need for financial resources above their planned investment levels;
  • failures in recognizing anticipated synergies;
  • difficulties in retaining business relationships with suppliers and customers of the acquired company;
  • risks associated with entering markets in which they lack experience;

^{}[] 31

  • potential loss of key employees of the acquired company; and
  • potential write-offs of acquired assets.

Their failure to address these risks successfully may have a material adverse effect on their financial condition and results of operations. Any such acquisition or investment will likely require a significant amount of capital investment, which would decrease the amount of cash available for working capital or capital expenditures. In addition, if FENC uses its equity securities to pay for acquisitions, the value of your Reference Shares may be diluted. If FENC borrows funds to finance acquisitions, such debt instruments may contain restrictive covenants that can, among other things, restrict FENC from distributing dividends.

Operations are subject to the laws and regulations of the PRC.

Our and FENC's business in the PRC are subject to PRC laws and regulations applicable to foreign investment in the PRC and, in particular, laws applicable to wholly-foreign owned companies. The PRC legal system is based on written statutes. Prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value. Since 1979, PRC legislation and regulations have significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investments in the PRC. However, since these laws and regulations are relatively new and the PRC legal system continues to evolve rapidly, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform, and enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involves uncertainties, which may limit the legal protections available to us or FENC. The application of such laws may differ from court to court, so that even within the PRC, we and FENC cannot be certain that similar cases will have similar results. In addition, any litigation in the PRC may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources and management attention. Any expansion of our or FENC's operations in the PRC will increase our exposure to this risk.

Strained relations between Taiwan and the PRC could negatively affect our business and the market value of your investment.

ACC's and FENC's principal executive offices and part of ACC's and FENC's production and transportation facilities are located in Taiwan, which has a unique international political status. Although Taiwan has its own government and a political system separate from that of the PRC, the PRC government claims sovereignty over all of China, which in their view include Taiwan. The PRC government does not recognize the legitimacy of the ROC government. In the past there was tension between the Taiwan Strait over sovereignty issues which had the potential to provoke the PRC government into exercising their military force against Taiwan. In recent years, however, significant economic and cultural relations have been established between Taiwan and the PRC, and there are more talks and discussions between the Straits in recent years. Nonetheless, relations may become strained without prior warning. Past developments in relations between Taiwan and the PRC have on occasion depressed the market price of the securities of ROC companies. Relations between Taiwan and the PRC and other factors could have a material adverse effect on both economies and in turn affect our financial condition and results of operations, as well as the market price and the liquidity of the Bonds or the Reference Shares.

Earthquakes, typhoons, floods and other natural disasters could severely disrupt the normal operation of our business and adversely affect our earnings.

Both Taiwan and the PRC are susceptible to earthquakes and have experienced severe earthquakes in the past, which caused significant property damage and loss of life. In Taiwan, earthquakes usually hit the central and eastern regions. For the PRC, which has very densely-populated cities, earthquakes can inflict massive damage and casualties. For example, the 2008 Sichuan earthquake measured 7.9 on the Richter scale and killed at least 68,000 people. The earthquake did not have a material effect on ACC China's operations as it returned to full production within a week. However, these earthquakes have the potential to severely damage production facilities and adversely affect the operations of many companies.

^{}[] 32

Taiwan and the PRC are also susceptible to typhoons, which may cause damage and business interruptions to companies. For example in 2009, Taiwan experienced severe damage from typhoons, including typhoon Morakot on August 7 that caused over 600 deaths, severe flooding and extensive property damage. We and FENC have not experienced any material damage or business interruption from the typhoon activities in Taiwan or the PRC.

In August 2009, Taiwan experienced a severe flood in the southern region of Taiwan. As ACC and FENC are mainly located in northern region of Taiwan, we were not affected by the flood directly. However, a flood may disrupt the operations of some of ACC's or FENC's customers, and this could result in a decline in the demand for our respective products or services. Any temporary or sustained adverse impact from any future floods may adversely affect the economic, social or political conditions in Taiwan and/or the PRC, and may lead to fluctuations in the market price of the Bonds and the Reference Shares.

If our or FENC's or any of the major subsidiaries' customers are affected by an earthquake, a typhoon, a flood or other natural disasters, it could result in a decline in the demand for our respective products or services. If our respective suppliers and providers of complementary raw materials or transport services are affected, our respective operations could be interrupted or delayed. As a result, a major earthquake, typhoon, flood, or other natural disaster in Taiwan or the PRC could severely disrupt our normal business operations and have a material adverse effect on our respective financial conditions and results of operations.

Corporate governance standards in the ROC differ from those in other jurisdictions.

ACC and FENC are companies organized under ROC law. The corporate governance rules in the ROC differ from those applicable to companies in certain other jurisdictions. For example, there is no ROC requirement that a majority of the board of directors must be comprised of independent directors. Under ROC law, shareholders' approval is required for the distribution of employee bonuses, while the board of directors has the authority, subject to the approval of the FSC, to approve employee stock option plans and to grant options to employees pursuant to such plans. Directors of ROC companies are required to conduct business faithfully and to act with the care of a good administrator. However, such duty of care as required of ROC companies' directors may not be the same as the fiduciary duty of directors of non-ROC companies. In addition, a director or supervisor who serves as a representative of a legal entity under the ROC law may be removed or replaced at any time at the discretion of that legal entity, and the replacement director or supervisor may serve the remainder of the term of the office of the replaced director or supervisor.

Also, except for matters such as mergers, disposal of major assets or amendment of articles of incorporation, that the ROC Company Law or the company's articles of incorporation otherwise require, the board and the shareholders could adopt resolution by simple majority approval.

There are no laws or regulations that require a special approval threshold or process for related party transactions. Shareholders of ROC companies may receive less protection from corporate governance standards than shareholders of companies incorporated in other jurisdictions.

Both of our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our executive directors, senior management, key personnel, and our ability to maintain a skilled labor force.

We and FENC are dependent on our respective board of directors and senior management for our daily business operations and for formulating and implementing our business strategies and future plans. Our success is, to a large extent, attributable to the experience, expertise and managerial skills of our respective boards of directors and senior management. If one or more of our executive directors or senior management were unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may be unable to identify and recruit suitable replacements in a timely manner, or at all. In addition, if any member of our senior management were to join a competitor or form a competing company, we may lose some of our know-how and customers. There is no assurance that any of our senior management members will not discontinue their service for whatever reason in the future.

^{}[] 33

For example, on October 2, 2006, the ROC Taipei District Prosecutors Office indicted six defendants, including Mr. Douglas Tong Hsu, who served on the board of directors at ACC and FENC as Chairman, and Mr. Champion Lee, who served on the board of directors at FENC and as senior manager for ACC and FENC. The prosecution was in connection with the takeover by the Far Eastern Group of the Sogo Department Stores. Mr. Hsu and Mr. Lee were prosecuted for offenses including criminal breach of trust, forgery, conspiracy to commit breach of trust and conspiracy to commit forgery. The Taipei District Court rendered its verdict of not guilty for both Mr. Hsu and Mr. Lee in August 2008. In response to a subsequent appeal by the prosecutors, the Taiwan High Court overruled that appeal on September 7, 2010. This verdict made by the Taiwan High Court is final and binding, and no appeal could be presented to the ROC Supreme Court pursuant to the ROC Code of Criminal Procedures except under limited circumstances (such as discovery of new material evidence).

Furthermore, recruiting and retaining capable personnel, for example experienced engineers and technicians familiar with ACC China's production processes, are vital to maintaining the quality of our products, continuously improving our production processes and supporting the expansion of our production capacity. Both we and FENC need to recruit personnel with relevant experience to maintain and strengthen our internal control systems and procedures. We may also need to employ and retain more management personnel to support our expansion in the future. We cannot assure you that either we or FENC will be able to attract or retain qualified personnel. If we and FENC are unable to attract and retain qualified employees, key personnel and senior management, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

ACC and FENC are subject to ROC GAAP.

ACC and FENC are subject to financial reporting requirements in Taiwan that are significantly different to those applicable to companies in certain other countries. In addition, ACC's financial statements and FENC's are prepared in accordance with ROC GAAP. Potential investors should consult their own professional advisors for an understanding of such differences and how they might affect the financial information contained herein when making investment decisions.

You may not be able to enforce a judgment of a foreign court in the ROC.

We and FENC are companies limited by shares and incorporated under the ROC Company Law. Most of the directors, executive officers and supervisors of our company and FENC and certain of the parties named herein are residents of the ROC, and certain portion of the assets of our company are located in the ROC. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce judgments obtained outside the ROC against us or such persons in the ROC, including those predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States. See "Enforceability of Foreign Judgments in the ROC."

The recent global market fluctuations and economic downturn could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The global capital and credit markets have experienced extreme volatility and disruption in recent periods. Concerns over inflation and deflation, energy costs, geopolitical issues, the availability and cost of credit, the health of financial institutions, a declining residential real estate market in the U.S. and elsewhere and the European debt crisis have contributed to market volatility and diminished expectations of growth for the global economy and the capital and consumer markets in the future. These factors, combined with volatile oil prices, declining business activities and consumer confidence and increased unemployment, have contributed to the global economic slowdown and a possible prolonged global recession. These events have led to uncertainties in the PRC and Taiwan economy, which could materially and adversely affect the building and infrastructure industry in the PRC. As a result, customer demand for our products may significantly decrease, thereby materially and adversely affecting our business, financial condition and results of operations.

^{}[] Risks Relating to Ownership of the Bonds and the Reference Shares

The Bonds will be effectively subordinated to all of the liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries.

The Company operates a significant portion of its business through its subsidiaries. As a result, the Company's obligations under the Bonds will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future obligations of the existing or future subsidiaries so that all claims of creditors of the existing or future subsidiaries, including trade creditors, lenders and other creditors, and preferential shareholders of such entities (if any) will have priority over the Company's claims and those of its creditors, including the holders of Bonds. The Company and its subsidiaries may incur significant additional secured or unsecured indebtedness and other liabilities, including off balance sheet obligations, for project development or other purposes in the future, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in "Description of the Bonds."

The Company's subsidiaries and affiliates may be restricted from paying dividends or repaying intercompany loans or advances.

The Company depends on the receipt of dividends and the repayment of intercompany loans or advances from its subsidiaries and affiliates to satisfy certain obligations. The ability of its subsidiaries and affiliates to pay dividends and repay intercompany loans or advances to their shareholders (including the Company) is subject to applicable law, relevant shareholders' agreements or constitutive documents and restrictions contained in debt instruments of such subsidiaries and affiliates. The Company's subsidiaries and affiliates are separate legal entities and will have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay any dividends or make any distributions to the Company or otherwise to pay amounts due with respect to its indebtedness, including the Bonds, or to make funds available for such payments. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient cash flows from distributions by its subsidiaries and affiliates to satisfy certain of its obligations, including obligations under the Bonds. Although the Company believes that it will be able to meet its obligations in respect of the Bonds, if distributions from its subsidiaries and affiliates are not sufficient to meet its obligations, any shortfall would have to be made up from other sources of cash, such as a sale of investments or any available financing to it.

In addition, PRC regulations require that payment of dividends be made only out of accumulated profits as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. The Company's subsidiaries in the PRC are also required to set aside a portion of their after-tax profits according to PRC accounting standards and regulations to fund certain statutory reserve funds that are not distributable as cash dividends. PRC regulations also states that approval from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (the "SAFE") is required prior to making any shareholder loan and such loan has to be registered with SAFE. Prior to the payment of interest and principal on any such shareholder loan, subsidiaries in the PRC must present evidence of payment of the 10% withholding tax on the interest payable and the evidence of registration with SAFE, as well as any other documents that SAFE or its local branch may require. Accordingly, the Company may not receive sufficient cash flow from the PRC subsidiaries in the form of dividends or repayment of intercompany loans or advances to satisfy its obligations, including obligations under the Bonds.

The Reference Shares or the Exchange Property to be delivered to an exchanging holder of Bonds will be held in one or more designated accounts but will not be charged in favor of the holder of Bonds.

The Company will deposit sufficient Reference Shares or Exchange Property, when applicable (as defined in the "Description of the Bonds"), in a designated account at the Taiwan Depository & Clearing Corporation to ensure that the total number of Reference Shares or the total amount of the Exchange Property (as the case may be) deposited in such designated accounts are in aggregate sufficient to satisfy the Exchange Rights (as defined in the "Description of the Bonds") relating to the outstanding Bonds at the relevant Exchange Price in effect at that time. Under ROC law, the aforementioned arrangement does not create a charge in

35

favor of the holders of Bonds. In addition, the Reference Shares remain an asset of the Company subject to third party claims. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the holders of Bonds will receive the Reference Shares or the Exchange Property (as the case may be) upon exchange of the Bonds if the Company fails to comply with the Conditions of the Bonds.

Exchange rate fluctuations between the NT dollar and the US dollar may adversely affect the value of the Bonds and the Reference Shares represented thereby.

Investors purchasing the Bonds will be required to pay in US dollars. The Reference Shares to be delivered upon exchange of the Bonds are currently listed on the TWSE, where shares are quoted and traded in NT dollars. Any cash dividends on the Reference Shares will be paid to the holders thereof in NT dollars, subject to certain conditions. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between NT dollars and US dollars will affect, among other things: (i) the secondary market price of the Bonds, (ii) the US dollar value of the Reference Shares to be delivered upon exchange of the Bonds and (iii) the amount to be received by holders of the Reference Shares upon any distribution, liquidation, merger, tender offer or similar transaction, in relation to FENC denominated in NT dollars. See "Exchange Rates."

An active trading market for the Bonds may not develop.

The Bonds are a new issue of securities for which there is currently no trading market. If such a market were to develop, the Bonds could trade at prices that may be higher or lower than the initial issue price depending on many factors, including prevailing interest rates, the operations of the Company and FENC and the market for similar securities. The Initial Purchasers are not obliged to make a market in the Bonds and any such market making, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time at the sole discretion of the Initial Purchasers. Accordingly, no assurance can be given as to the liquidity of, or trading market for, the Bonds.

Holders have limited anti-dilution protection.

The exchange price of the Bonds will be adjusted in the event that there is a free distribution, bonus issue, division, consolidation and reclassification, declaration of dividends, rights issue, warrants issue, capital distribution or other adjustment, but only in the circumstances and only to the extent provided in "Description of the Bonds—Exchange." There is no requirement that there should be an adjustment for every corporate or other event that may affect the value of the Reference Shares. Events in respect of which no adjustment is made may adversely affect the value of the Reference Shares and, therefore, adversely affect the value of the Bonds.

The Company may be unable to redeem the Bonds.

In certain circumstances, such as (i) a Change of Control of FENC (as defined in "Description of the Bonds") or (ii) a delisting the Reference Shares from the TWSE or (iii) upon the exercise of Holders' Put Right (as defined in "Description of the Bonds"), the holders of the Bonds may require the Company to redeem all of the holders' Bonds. Upon the occurrence of such an event, or at maturity of the Bonds, no assurance can be given that the Company will have enough funds or would be able to arrange financing to pay the redemption amount for all tendered Bonds. The Company's ability to redeem the Bonds in such an event may be limited by law or the terms of its other debt instruments. The Company may be required to refinance its debt in order to make such payments.

The trading prices of the Reference Shares may fluctuate due to the volatility of the ROC securities market and the results of operations of FENC.

The trading share prices of the Reference Shares may be affected by the general activities of the TWSE. The TWSE is smaller and more volatile than the securities markets in the United States and in certain European and other countries. The TWSE has experienced substantial fluctuations in prices and volumes of trading of securities. From time to time, the ROC regulatory agencies have intervened in the Taiwan stock market during periods of extreme volatility. The TWSE Index experienced a 7.4% increase in 2007, a 44.8% decrease in 2008, a 78.3% increase in 2009 and a 9.3% increase in 2010. During the period from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010, the TWSE Index reached a low of 7,071.67 on June 9, 2010, and peaked at 8,972.50 on

^{}[] 36

December 31, 2010. The daily closing value of the Shares ranged from NT$25.83 to NT$34.51 per Share over the same period, and the daily closing value of the Reference Shares ranged from NT$29.07 to NT$50.00 per Reference Share. On January 19, 2011, the TWSE Index closed at 9,086.02 and the closing value of the Reference Shares was NT$49.30 per share.

The TWSE is particularly volatile during times of political instability, including when relations between Taiwan and the PRC are strained. Several investment funds affiliated with the ROC government have also from time to time purchased securities from the TWSE to support the trading level of the TWSE. Moreover, the TWSE has experienced problems, including market manipulation, insider trading and settlement defaults. The recurrence of these or similar problems could have an adverse effect on the market price and liquidity of the Bonds and the Reference Shares.

In addition, the market price of the Bonds at any time will be affected by fluctuations in the price of the Reference Shares. There can be no certainty as to the effect, if any, that future issues or sales of the Reference Shares, or the availability of such Reference Shares for future issue or sale, will have on the market price of the Reference Shares prevailing from time to time and therefore on the price of the Bonds. Sales of a substantial number of the Reference Shares in the public market, or a perception in the market that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of the Reference Shares and the Bonds. The results of operations, financial condition, future prospects and business strategy of FENC could affect the value of the Reference Shares. The trading price of the Reference Shares will be influenced by the operational results of FENC (which in turn are subject to the various risks the businesses and operations are subject to, which may or may not be described herein) and by other factors such as changes in the regulatory environment that may affect the markets in which FENC operates and the capital markets in general. Corporate events such as share sales, reorganizations, takeovers or share buy-backs may also adversely affect the value of the Reference Shares. Any decline in the price of the Reference Shares would adversely affect the market price of the Bonds.

Bondholders have less protection under the ROC laws as compared to the laws of the United States

While the Bonds will be issued under an indenture governed by New York law, FENC and us are both incorporated under ROC law. Both companies are governed by their articles of incorporation and by the laws governing corporations incorporated in the ROC. The shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in connection with actions taken by the management or directors than they would as public shareholders of a European or US corporation. Moreover, while we have irrevocably appointed an agent in New York to receive service of process in any proceedings in the State of New York based on any of the Bonds, it may be difficult to enforce in the ROC courts judgments obtained against us and our directors, supervisors and executive officers in non-ROC courts, including those obtained against us in a New York court based upon the civil liability provisions of United States securities laws. See "Enforceability of Foreign Judgments in the ROC."

Our ability to fulfill our obligations under the Bonds is dependent upon our future financial and operating performance.

Our ability to make the principal payments on the Bonds when due and to satisfy our other debt obligations depends in part upon our future financial performance and upon our ability to renew or refinance our debt obligations or to raise additional equity capital. Prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, will affect our ability to make these payments. While we believe that cash flow from our operations will provide an adequate source of liquidity, a significant drop in our operating cash flow would increase our need for alternative sources of liquidity.

If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our debt service obligations, we will have to pursue one or more alternatives, such as:

  • reducing our operating expenses;
  • reducing or delaying capital expenditures;

^{}[] 2 The day before printing.

  • refinancing existing debt facilities;
  • selling assets; or
  • raising additional equity capital.

We cannot assure you that any of these alternatives could be accomplished on satisfactory terms, if at all, or that those actions would provide sufficient funds to retire the Bonds and our other debt obligations.

No assurance can be given that the market for the Reference Shares will be active and liquid, or that the offering of the Bonds will not result in additional liquidity of the Reference Shares until the commencement of the Exchange Period, if at all.

The average daily trading volume for the Reference Shares on the TWSE in 2010 was approximately 13,756 thousand shares. No assurance can be given that the liquidity of the Reference Shares will be maintained or enhanced after the offering of the Bonds. Market prices of the Reference Shares have been and continue to be extremely volatile. From January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010, daily closing price of the Reference Shares ranged from NT$29.07 per share to NT$50.00 per share. As a result, volatility in the price of the Reference Shares may be caused by factors beyond FENC's control and may be unrelated or disproportionate to the operating results of FENC.

We may not be able to deliver Reference Shares or Exchange Property Securities upon exchange of the Bonds.

In the event that we do not have sufficient Reference Shares or Exchange Property Securities to deliver to exchanging holders of Bonds, we will pay to the exchanging holders of Bonds the Cash Equivalent (as defined herein). We cannot assure you that we will have enough cash to pay such Cash Equivalent. We may also choose to make purchases of the necessary securities in the open market to satisfy exchange requests, but this may require making applicable notice filings with the FSC. We cannot assure you that we will be able to make open market purchases at any time to satisfy the requests of the holders of Bonds to exchange their Bonds. Even if such Reference Shares or Exchange Property Securities are available on the open market, we may not have sufficient funds available to purchase those Reference Shares or Exchange Property Securities. Finally, large open market purchases of Reference Shares or Exchange Property Securities could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and the market price of the Bonds.

The Bonds and Reference Shares deliverable upon exchange of the Bonds are subject to restrictions on transfer.

The Bonds and Reference Shares deliverable upon exchange of the Bonds are subject to restrictions on transfer as described under "Transfer Restrictions." These transfer restrictions may adversely affect the liquidity of the Bonds and Reference Shares. To exercise the right of exchange with respect to a Bond, a holder must make certain representations and agreements in the exchange notice as described in "Description of the Bonds—Exchange."

Future offers or sales of Reference Shares by shareholders of FENC may hurt the value of your investment.

The market price of the Bonds and the Reference Shares could decline as a result of future sales of a large number of the Reference Shares or the perception that such sales could occur. If any existing shareholders offer or sell a large number of the Reference Shares, the market price for the Bonds or the Reference Shares could be depressed. Pursuant to certain lock-up agreements relating to this offering, ACC and FENC have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to offer, sell or agree to sell, directly or indirectly, or otherwise dispose of any directly and indirectly held Shares or Reference Shares without the prior written consent of the Initial Purchasers until 90 days following the date of this offering memorandum. Nevertheless, the Initial Purchasers may lift or waive all or some of these restrictions at their sole discretion, and when the applicable restrictive period expires, ACC and FENC will be able to sell directly and indirectly held Shares or Reference Shares in the public market, subject to legal restrictions. See "Plan of Distribution."

^{}[] 38

There are limitations on your ability to exercise exchange rights.

The Bonds are exchangeable at the option of the holders pursuant to the terms of the Bonds, but only within the Exchange Period and not during any Closed Periods. Under current ROC law, regulations and policy, a PRC person is not permitted to exchange the Bonds or to register as a shareholder of FENC unless it is a qualified domestic institutional investor (a "QDII"). See "Description of the Bonds—Exchange—Exchange Right."

Holders of the Bonds will have no rights as shareholders of FENC until they acquire the Reference Shares upon exchange of the Bonds.

Unless and until the holders of the Bonds acquire the Reference Shares upon exchange of the Bonds and are registered on FENC's shareholder register (as applicable), the holders of the Bonds will have no rights with respect to the Reference Shares, including any voting rights or rights to receive regular dividends or other distributions with respect to the Reference Shares. Holders of the Bonds who acquire the Reference Shares upon the exercise of an Exchange Right will be entitled to exercise the rights of holders of Reference Shares only as to actions for which the applicable record date occurs after the Exchange Delivery Date.

Holders of the Bonds will be required to appoint local agents in Taiwan and will be subject to other requirements if they exchange the Bonds and become the shareholders of FENC or another ROC entity, which may make ownership burdensome.

Under current ROC law, an exchanging holder of the Bonds is required to register with the TWSE and appoint a local agent in the ROC to open a securities trading account with a local securities brokerage firm and an NT dollar bank account, remit funds, exercise a shareholder's rights and perform such other matters as may be designated by the exchanging holder. Further, the exchanging holder must appoint a local bank to act as custodian for confirmation and settlement of trades, safekeeping of securities and cash proceeds and reporting of information.

In addition, when a non-ROC holder of the Bonds exercises its exchange rights and registers as a shareholder of FENC or another ROC entity, such holder will be required to appoint an agent as a tax guarantor in Taiwan. Such tax guarantor will be required to meet the qualifications set by the Ministry of Finance of the ROC and will act as the guarantor of such holder's tax payment obligations. Evidence of the appointment of a tax guarantor and the approval of such appointment is required as conditions to receiving such holder's profits derived from the sale of the Reference Shares. There can be no assurance that such holder will be able to appoint and obtain approval for a tax guarantor in a timely manner. Without satisfying these requirements, the exchanging holder would not be able to hold, sell or otherwise transfer its shares on the TWSE.

A holder of the Bonds or its designee requesting the exchange of its Bonds may be required to provide certain information to us, and failure to provide such information may prevent the exchange or cause the exchange to be delayed.

A holder of the Bonds or its designee requesting the exchange of its Bonds may be required to provide certain information to us or the Exchange Agent, including the name and nationality of the person to be registered as the holder and the number of the securities such person is acquiring and has acquired in the past as a result of the exchange of the Bonds it holds, and supporting documents, before such exchange is effected. See "Description of the Bonds—Exchange—Exchange Right." Under applicable ROC laws, an ROC entity is required to report to the FSC if the person to be registered as a shareholder (i) is a "related party" as defined in SFAS No. 6 of the ROC or (ii) will hold, immediately following such exchange, more than 10% of the total number of the shares deliverable upon exchange of the aggregate principal amount of all Bonds at the time of issue. The exchange of the Bonds may be delayed or prevented if such information is not provided.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Potential Joint Venture with China Shanshui

On 19 November 2010, ACC and ACC China entered into a non-legally binding MOU with China Shanshui, a company which also manufactures and sells cement and clinker in the PRC.

Pursuant to the MOU the parties have indicated their intentions to enter into a cooperative arrangement ("Possible Cooperative Arrangement") to carry out cement-related businesses in the provinces of Liaoning and Inner Mongolia in the PRC. In order to implement the Possible Cooperative Arrangement, ACC China, or through its HK or PRC incorporated subsidiaries, will invest in China Shanshui through the acquisition of existing and/or new equity interests in various subsidiaries of China Shanshui or their holding company ("JV Companies"). ACC China intends to invest in not more than 30% of the equity interests in the JV Companies. In addition, ACC intends to purchase less than 10% of the entire issued share capital of China Shanshui from existing shareholders of China Shanshui.

The parties agreed not to negotiate with any third parties relating to any matters under the MOU before May 1, 2011, or such later date as agreed among the parties. Detailed terms and conditions for the Possible Cooperative Arrangement will be subject to further negotiations and due diligence.

There can be no assurance that any binding agreement(s) will be signed among the parties. Even if binding agreements are later entered into, ACC and ACC China may not be able to fully realize all of the anticipated benefits of this cooperative arrangement. We cannot assure you that the proposed expansion into the Liaoning and Inner Mongolia regions will be successful and that ACC or ACC China may be able to generate sufficient profits to justify the costs of such expansion. See "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to both ACC and FENC—ACC, ACC China and FENC may undertake mergers, acquisitions or investments to expand their businesses that may pose risks to their businesses and dilute the ownership of existing shareholders, and neither may be able to realize the anticipated benefits of these mergers, acquisitions or investments."

Potential Joint Venture between FENC and Sinopec Yizheng Chemical Fibre Company Limited

On December 20, 2010, FENC entered into a Letter of Intent ("LOI") with Yangzhou Chemical Industry Park and Sinopec Yizheng Chemical Fibre Company Limited ("YCF"). YCF, a listed company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Shanghai Stock Exchange, belongs to China Petrochemical Corporation (or Sinopec Group) and is the second largest polyester producer in the PRC. FENC and YCF aim to ensure supply sufficiency through this project to meet the increasing demand for PTA. While details of the cooperation remain subject to further discussions between FENC and YCF, FENC will apply for the investment approval from the MOEA.

Pursuant to the LOI, FENC and YCF agreed to establish a joint venture company in Yizheng city, Jiangsu province of the PRC to construct a green-field PTA plant located in the Yangzhou Chemical Industrial Park. This project is based on the license granted to YCF by the National Development and Reform Commission of the PRC to construct a PTA plant with an annual capacity of 1.0 million MT. FENC plans to hold 60% while YCF holds 40% of the equity interests in this joint venture company, the total invested capital of which is estimated at RMB 3.8 billion.

There can be no assurance that any conclusive agreement will be signed between the parties. Even such agreement is later entered into, FENC may not fully realize all of the anticipated benefits of this cooperative arrangement. We cannot assure you that this joint venture will be successful and that FENC may be able to generate sufficient profits to justify the costs of expanding their business in the PRC. See "Risk Factors — Risks Relating to both ACC and FENC—ACC, ACC China and FENC may undertake mergers, acquisitions or investments to expand their businesses which may pose risks to their businesses and dilute the ownership of existing shareholders, and neither may be able to realize the anticipated benefits of these mergers, acquisitions or investments."

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds from this offering, after deducting the Initial Purchasers' commissions and other estimated expenses of this offering will be approximately US$370,900,000. We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering for the following purposes:

  • to purchase coal and raw materials; and
  • to repay part of our outstanding consolidated long-term and short-term debt.

As of September 30, 2010, the total outstanding principal amount of consolidated long-term and short-term debt was NT$64,410.9 million (US$2,065.1 million).

The Initial Purchasers have agreed to pay an amount of approximately US$430,000 towards the expenses related to the offering of the Bonds.

DIVIDEND POLICY OF FENC

The form, frequency and amount of future dividends, if any, will depend on FENC's earnings, cash flow, financial condition, reinvestment opportunities, capital expenditures and other factors. Accordingly, FENC cannot assure you that it will pay any dividends on the Reference Shares in the future.

The following table sets forth the cash dividends per Reference Share and stock dividends per Reference Share as a percentage of Reference Shares outstanding paid during each of the years indicated in respect of Reference Shares outstanding at the end of each such year:

Cash Dividend Per Reference ShareStock Dividend Per Reference Share(1)Total Reference Shares Issued as Stock DividendsTotal Issued Reference Shares(2)
(in millions)
2006NT$1.00NT$0.60246.24,349.9
20071.300.30130.54,480.3
20081.800.2089.64,570.0
20090.800.2091.44,661.4

(1) Holders of Reference Shares receive as stock dividend the number of Reference Shares equal to the NT dollar value per Reference Share of the declared dividend multiplied by the number of Reference Shares owned and divided by the par value of NT$10 per Reference Share. Fractions of Reference Shares are not issued.

(2) The numbers set forth in this column denote the aggregate number of Reference Shares issued and outstanding on the record date for the payment of the dividend in the indicated year.

All dividend payments are subject to a legally required minimum reserve. FENC may distribute dividends either in cash or in the form of Reference Shares, provided that the cash dividends shall not be less than 10% of the total amount of bonuses and dividends distributed to shareholders in that year. The ratio between any cash dividend and stock dividend is proposed by the FENC Board of Directors and approved by the shareholders at the shareholders' meeting. Dividends are paid to shareholders, in respect of both cash dividends and stock dividends, on shareholder approval being received.

FENC is generally not permitted under the ROC Company Law to distribute dividends or make other distributions to shareholders for any year in which FENC has no current or retained earnings (excluding reserves). Before FENC can distribute a dividend or make any other distribution to shareholders from net income, FENC must first apply FENC's net income to any losses incurred in previous years and pay all outstanding taxes, set aside a legal reserve equal to 10% of its net income until the reserve reaches an amount equal to at least 100% of its paid-in capital. In addition, FENC may set aside a special reserve in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

FENC shall, based on the market condition and taking into consideration of its need for cash according to the life cycle of each of the products and services and the influence of the taxation, distribute the dividends pursuant to its articles of incorporation and under the objective of maintenance of a stable dividend policy. Unless there is a capital need to improve its financial structure or support for investments, expand the capacity or other important capital expenditure, the cash dividends shall, in principle, not be less than 10% of the total amount of bonuses and dividends distributed to shareholders in that year.

42

The articles of incorporation of FENC provide that, after FENC pays all the income taxes, recovers any losses incurred in prior years and sets aside 10% of its net income as legal reserve and a special reserve in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, it may, subject to its business conditions, retain a portion of the remainder, together with the undistributed profits of previous year, and distribute the remaining balance in the following percentage:

  1. 60% as shareholder dividends, to be distributed based on shareholdings. However, in the case of an increase in FENC's capital, unless otherwise stipulated by law, the shareholder dividends to be distributed to the shareholders of the increased shares for the year shall be decided at the shareholders' meeting;
  2. 33% as shareholder bonuses, to be distributed based on shareholdings. However in the case of an increase in FENC's capital, the shareholder bonuses to be distributed to the shareholders of the increased shares for the year shall be decided at the shareholders' meeting;
  3. 4% as employees' bonuses (where the bonuses are in the form of shares, the distribution shall be made in accordance with the rules adopted by the board of directors); and
  4. 3% as remuneration for directors and supervisors, the manner which distribution is made is to be decided by the board of directors.

For information relating to ROC withholding taxes payable on dividends, see "Taxation—Reference Shares—Dividends."

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF ACC

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the interim consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this offering memorandum.

Overview

Established in 1957 and later listed on the TWSE in 1962, we are a manufacturer and seller of cement, clinker, cement-related products and RMC. With two integrated cement manufacturing facilities and two major RMC subsidiaries, we are the second largest cement producer in Taiwan with total annual cement production of approximately 4.6 million MT in 2009. We are also the controlling shareholder of ACC China which is the entity through which we hold cement manufacturers in the PRC, primarily in our core markets in Sichuan, Jiangxi and Hubei provinces, and the Yangzhou and Shanghai areas. As of December 31, 2010 we effectively held 72.29% of ACC China. ACC China's annual cement production in 2009 and 2010 was approximately 14.4 million MT and 20.0 million MT, respectively. Our cement sales accounted for approximately 75% and 76% of our consolidated operating revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

Our long-term investments totaled NT$55.6 billion (US$1.8 billion) as of December 31, 2009, and NT$57.9 billion (US$1.9 billion) as of September 30, 2010, accounting for 34.0% and 35.0% of our total consolidated assets, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, our major investment holdings included, directly and indirectly, 25.29% of FENC and 39.74% of UMTC. FENC is an affiliated company of ACC and is one of the leading manufacturers of polyester and related products in Asia. UMTC provides marine transportation for cement, dry commodities and industrial raw materials.

Dividend contributions from UMTC and FENC represented approximately 64% and 28%, respectively, of our 2009 total cash dividends received from equity-method investees.

For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, and the nine months ended September 30, 2010, our consolidated net income was NT$10,096.0 million, NT$7,472.6 million, NT$8,955.0 million (US$287.1 million) and NT$5,375.7 million (US$172.4 million), respectively. As of December 31, 2010, ACC had a market capitalization of approximately NT$99.18 billion.

Industry environment in Taiwan and the PRC

Taiwan's cement market is mature with only limited growth prospects, reflecting slowing economic growth, a maturing real estate market and a reduction in spending on public infrastructure projects. As a result, Taiwan's cement consumption amounted to 10.3 million MT in 2009, an average of 448 kg per capita, which is a decrease of 12.7% from 512 kg per capita in 2008. We believe that domestic cement consumption is likely to have limited growth in the near future. Notwithstanding the mature state of the cement market in Taiwan, domestic cement prices, which fell to historic lows in 2001 because of competition from Philippine and Korean imports, have recovered and have since remained relatively steady. This is attributable to leading cement manufacturers' supply discipline and the introduction of an anti-dumping tariff in July 2002. Taiwan Cement Corporation and ACC are the top two domestic cement manufacturers whose cement production represented approximately 29% and 25%, respectively, of total cement

consumption in Taiwan in 2009. Starting from the second half of 2009, the PRC began to export cheap cement to Taiwan which put pressure on local cement prices. The Taiwan Cement Manufacturers' Association is considering initiating legal proceedings against the PRC exporters for anti-dumping.

The cement industry in the PRC is fragmented with the ten largest manufacturers accounting for less than a quarter of total production capacity. High entry barriers remain for smaller players as the market is shifting away from low-grade to high-grade cement, which is more capital and technology-intensive. As a result, companies with established operations and financial capacity, as well as proximity to raw materials and end markets, are emerging to expand their presence regionally. The pricing environment is divergent and cement prices are affected by proximity to coastal regions, which typically are more price-competitive compared to pricing in inland regions because there are more suppliers in the coastal regions. Generally, competition has been limited among regional players, due to localization characteristics and the high weight-to-value ratio of cement products. In addition, property developers and contractors require a certain level of cement quality and therefore the larger producers have a competitive edge over the smaller producers.

The PRC government has introduced policy measures to close down less efficient and smaller producers in recent years. Although low-grade cement, which is inefficiently produced by hundreds of government-subsidized and small-scale cement producers, still accounts for about a quarter of total production volume in the PRC, high-grade cement output, which is more efficiently produced and more environmentally-friendly, has risen rapidly over the past few years and accounted for a substantial majority of total production in the PRC in 2009. The increased demand for high-grade cement is generally driven by complex infrastructure projects throughout the country such as bridges, expressways, skyscrapers, sporting facilities, pipelines and dams. As demand for high-grade cement increases, the PRC cement industry is expected to further consolidate among regional players, and large-scale operators are expected to benefit from an improving industry environment where the smaller players are squeezed out and better pricing discipline is introduced.

Capacity expansion in the PRC

Realizing the limited growth prospects of the domestic cement industry, we have expanded into the PRC with several investments commencing in 1995. Our subsidiary, ACC China, is the company through which we conduct our PRC businesses. It was listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 20 May 2008 under the ticker "743." As of December 31, 2010, we owned 72.29% of ACC China directly and indirectly. The operations of ACC China's subsidiaries are mainly in Jiangxi, Sichuan, Hubei, Yangzhou and Shanghai, as we concentrated our PRC expansion on the inland areas given the more favourable competitive dynamics. Among our current PRC-based operating entities, Jiangxi Yadong Cement Co. is the largest entity with a rated capacity of approximately 4.1 million MT of clinker and 6.0 million MT of cement in 2009. The aggregate output of clinker of our PRC-based operating entities in 2009 amounted to 9.9 million MT compared to 6.8 million MT in 2008, an increase of 46%. The aggregate sales of cement, clinker and slag powder by these operating entities in 2009 amounted to 14.4 million MT compared to 10.3 million MT in 2008, an increase of 40%. The net income of our business in the PRC (through ACC China) in 2009 amounted to RMB615 million.

Our goal is for ACC China to become a leading producer of high-quality cement in the PRC, which we believe is more profitable than the lower-quality cement. The Company aims to achieve a total production volume of 13.4 million MT of clinker and 19.5 million MT of cement in the PRC through ACC China, with estimated sales of 20.0 million MT of cement related products by the end of 2010. However, our investments in the PRC are affected by significant economic and political developments, uncertainties or changes in the PRC as well as any tension between Taiwan and the PRC. See "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to both ACC and FENC—Strained relations between Taiwan and the PRC could negatively affect our business and the market value of your investment" and "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Cement Industry—The cement industry is subject to significant regulation by the PRC government and subsequent introduction of new policies may affect the current and future development plans of our business."

Operating Revenues

Our consolidated net operating revenues consist primarily of sales of cement and clinker, cement products (principally RMC), electricity and other products. Generally, we recognize sales revenues upon our shipment of products. In certain circumstances, we receive advance payments or prepayments from our customers. In these circumstances, we record amounts paid prior to our shipping of products as prepayments, and reduce the amount of prepayments and recognize corresponding sales revenues upon shipping. Electric power revenue is calculated according to the volume of electric power sold and the per unit price. We also own 51% of Yuan Long Stainless Steel Co., Ltd. which has a capacity of 130,000 MT of BA cold-rolled stainless steel coil. In addition to the local market, we also sell our products to Europe.

Our net sales revenues are derived after excluding sales returns and allowances on cement and clinker and cement products from our total sales revenues. Historically, we have not had substantial amounts of sales returns. Our sales returns and allowances have consisted principally of volume discounts to certain of our large customers.

Our net operating revenues also include other operating revenues. These other operating revenues differ from sales included in our total sales revenues in that they comprise revenues derived from sources which we do not consider to be part of our principal business operations such as, for example, income from investment activities, engineering income and transportation income. A substantial majority of our other operating revenues are attributable to our consolidated subsidiaries.

Operating Costs

Our operating costs include actual costs and commodity taxes (which in the ROC is NT$320 per tonne of Taiwan local cement sales and in the PRC is 17% of the selling price which are paid through to PRC tax authorities). Commodity taxes account for approximately 9.7% of our operating costs in Taiwan. In the production of cement, clinker and cement products, our operating costs include principally raw materials, electricity, depreciation and direct labor expenses. Operating costs in the production of electricity include, among others, coal, labor and depreciation. Procurement of stainless steel roll contributes the most to the operating costs of a stainless steel company because the price of the stainless steel rolls can vary greatly in the global market.

Raw material costs relate mainly to the purchase of limestone, sandstone, clay, sulfate slag, fly-ash and gypsum and represent approximately 14% to 27% of our operating costs. Raw material prices have been and will be affected by overall economic conditions and the level of construction activity in Taiwan and the PRC. Our results of operations may be adversely affected if prices of raw materials rise in the future and if we are unable to make corresponding increases in the prices of our products, improve our efficiency or adopt alternate types of raw materials used in our production.

We also include other operating costs as part of our overall operating costs which, like other operating revenues, are derived principally from sources outside our principal business areas. As is the case with our other operating revenues, other operating costs relate principally to the operations of our consolidated subsidiaries.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses consist primarily of general and administrative costs including, among others, salaries and wages, pensions and retirement benefits and depreciation. A substantial portion of our operating expenses are attributable to our consolidated subsidiaries.

Nonoperating Income and Gains

Nonoperating income includes interest income, dividends, rental income, gains on disposal of properties and equipment and nonoperating properties, and others. The largest contribution to nonoperating income in our consolidated financial statements, however, is derived from the investment income of equity-method investees, in particular FENC and UMTC. The largest difference in nonoperating income between our consolidated and unconsolidated financial statements is primarily attributable to the financial results of ACC China, which contributes to investment income of equity-method investees on an unconsolidated basis, but not on a consolidated basis.

Nonoperating Expenses and Losses

Our nonoperating expenses comprise interest expense, impairment loss, rental costs and expenses, financial expenses, and others.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009

Operating Revenues

Our net cement sales revenues increased to NT$28,134.9 million (US$902.0 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of 5.1% from NT$26,759.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase was principally attributable to an increase in sales volume as a result of our capacity expansion in the PRC. Our electric power revenue decreased 17.3% due to a decrease in the utilization rate of our power plants. Our net operating revenues were NT$36,792.9 million (US$1,179.6 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a 3.3% increase from NT$35,605.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Operating Costs

Operating costs increased to NT$32,708.1 million (US$1,048.7 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of 14.6% from NT$28,549.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase was principally attributable to an increase in sales volume and the expansion of production capacity in the PRC through ACC China.

Gross Profit

As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit decreased to NT$4,084.8 million (US$131.0 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of 42.1%, from NT$7,055.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Our gross margins for the periods decreased to 11.1% from 19.8%.

Operating Expenses, Operating Income and Operating Margin

Our operating expenses decreased to NT$2,034.0 million (US$65.2 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of 6.8% from NT$2,183.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was principally due to a lower level of other expenses and losses in our PRC subsidiaries. As a result, our operating income decreased to NT$2,050.8 million (US$65.8 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from NT$4,872.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, and our operating margin decreased to 5.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from 13.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Nonoperating Income and Gains

Our non operating income increased to NT$5,971.9 million (US$191.5 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of 25.9% from NT$4,744.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase was principally due to an increase in investment income from equity-method investees, especially from FENC and UMTC.

Nonoperating Expenses and Losses

Non operating expenses were NT$2,384.4 million (US$76.4 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of 47.3% from NT$1,618.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to an asset impairment that took place in 2010 that was related to damages caused to an independent power plant.

Income Tax Expense

We had income tax expenses of NT$262.5 million (US$8.4 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to NT$550.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Our effective tax rate for the first nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased to 4.7% from 6.9% of the corresponding period in the preceding year. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily due to a decrease in taxable income.

Consolidated Net Income and Net Income Margin

As a result of the foregoing, our consolidated net income was NT$5,375.7 million (US$172.4 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of 27.8% from NT$7,448.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Our consolidated net income margin was 14.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 20.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2008

Operating Revenues

Our net operating revenues were NT$48,079.7 million (US$1,541.5 million) in 2009, a 9.3% increase from NT$44,005.5 million in 2008. This increase was mainly due to the increase in our net cement sales revenues, which recorded NT$36,013.1 million (US$1,154.6 million) in 2009, an increase of 11.6% from NT$32,257.9 million in 2008. The increase in cement sales was principally attributable to our expansion of production capacity in the PRC.

Operating Costs

Operating costs increased to NT$39,052.7 million in 2009 (US$1,252.1 million), an increase of 3.5% from NT$37,738.1 million in 2008. The increase was principally attributable to higher cement sales revenues in the PRC through ACC China and, to a lesser extent, an increase in raw material costs, including coal, and depreciation costs.

Gross Profit

As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit increased to NT$9,027.0 million (US$289.4 million) in 2009 from NT$6,267.4 million in 2008, and our gross margins for the same period increased to 18.8% from 14.2%.

Operating Expenses, Operating Income and Operating Margin

Our operating expenses increased 12.7% to NT$3,098.6 million (US$99.3 million) in 2009 from NT$2,748.6 million in 2008. The increase was mainly due to higher general and administrative costs as we expanded our production facilities in the PRC. Our operating income was NT$5,928.4 million (US$190.1 million) in 2009, a 68.5% increase from NT$3,518.8 million in 2008, and our operating margin was 12.3% in 2009 compared to 8.0% in 2008.

Nonoperating Income and Gains

Our nonoperating income and gains decreased 16.3% to NT$6,200.3 million (US$198.8 million) in 2009 from NT$7,405.3 million in 2008. The decrease was principally due to investment income from equity-method investees, which decreased to NT$4,361.1 million (US$139.8 million) from NT$5,088.5 million, and the gain on valuation of financial liabilities, which decreased to nil from NT$572.4 million during the same period.

Nonoperating Expenses and Losses

Nonoperating expenses were NT$2,455.6 million (US$78.7 million) in 2009, a decrease of 19.6% from NT$3,054.5 million in 2008. The decrease was primarily attributable to loss on valuation of financial assets, which decreased to nil in 2009 from NT$478.6 million in 2008, and interest expenses, which decreased to NT$1,417.2 million (US$45.4 million) from NT$1,685.4 million in 2008.

Income Tax Expense

Our income tax expense in 2009 was NT$718.0 million (US$23.0 million) and NT$396.9 million in 2008. The 2009 income tax expense increase related principally to an increase in taxable income.

Consolidated Net Income and Net Income Margin

As a result of the foregoing, our consolidated net income was NT$8,955.0 million (US$287.1 million) in 2009 and NT$7,472.6 million in 2008, and our consolidated net income margin was 18.6% in 2009 and 17.0% in 2008.

Year Ended December 31, 2008 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2007

Our net cement sales revenues increased 17.7% to NT$32,257.9 million in 2008 from 2007, because of our expansion of production capacity in the PRC. We also started to sell stainless steel in 2008 which recorded NT$2,180.2 million in 2008. As a result, our net operating revenues increased 22.4% to NT$44,005.5 million in 2008 from NT$35,946.5 million in 2007.

Operating costs increased 25.5% to NT$37,738.1 million in 2008 from NT$30,058.9 million in 2007. This increase was principally attributable to the start of selling stainless steel, and an increase in raw material costs and higher depreciation costs as a result of our sales volume increase and our PRC expansion.

Gross Profit

Due to the foregoing factors, our gross profit increased 6.5% to NT$6,267.4 million in 2008 from NT$5,887.6 million in 2007. Our gross margin, however, decreased to 14.2% in 2008 from 16.4% in 2007.

Our operating expenses increased 42.7% to NT$2,748.6 million in 2008 from NT$1,926.8 million in 2007, mainly due to increases in depreciation and employee-related expenses. Under ROC GAAP, all employee bonuses must be recognized as expenses from 2008 onwards, and this was the main factor that contributed to the increase in employee-related expenses in 2008. Our operating income declined to NT$3,518.8 million in 2008 from NT$3,960.8 million in 2007, and our operating margin declined to 8.0% in 2008 from 11.0% in 2007.

^{}[] 53

Our nonoperating income and gains decreased 14.4% to NT$7,405.3 million in 2008 from NT$8,652.4 million in 2007. The principal factor in the decrease was investment income from equity-method investees which decreased to NT$5,088.5 million in 2008 from NT$7,173.3 million in 2007, partially offset by the valuation gain on financial liabilities which increased to NT$572.4 million in 2008 from nil in 2007.

Our nonoperating expenses and losses increased to NT$3,054.5 million in 2008, an increase of 65.3% from NT$1,847.3 million in 2007. The overall increase was mainly attributable to interest expenses, which increased to NT$1,685.4 million in 2008 from NT$1,160.4 million in 2007, and valuation loss on financial assets, which increased to NT$478.6 million in 2008 from NT$85.7 million in 2007.

We had an income tax expense of NT$396.9 million in 2008, compared to income tax expense of NT$669.9 million in 2007. The lower effective tax rate of 5.0% in 2008 compared to 6.2% in 2007 was due to a higher percentage of tax-exempt income to pre-tax income in 2008.

Due to the foregoing factors, our consolidated net income was NT$7,472.6 million in 2008 and NT$10,096.0 million in 2007, and our consolidated net income margin was 17.0% in 2008 and 28.1% in 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal uses of cash have been to finance the expansion of our cement, clinker and cement products manufacturing businesses in the PRC. For the foreseeable future, our financial objectives are to further invest (largely through ACC China) in cement-related opportunities in the PRC.

The following table shows our consolidated cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities in the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008, and 2009 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010.

Cash flows from operating activities. Our net cash provided by operating activities from 2007 to 2009 and during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily the result of recording a net income over this period. Our net cash provided by operating activities over the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008, 2009 and the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was positively affected by an adjustment for depreciation and amortization of NT$2,455.6 million, NT$2,907.6 million, NT$3,768.8 million (US$120.8 million) and NT$2,932.9 million (US$94.0 million), respectively. Our net cash position was further improved by cash dividends received from equity-method investees by NT$3,572.5 million, NT$5,446.7 million, NT$3,100.8 million (US$99.4 million) and NT$3,475.2 million (US$111.4 million) in the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008, 2009 and the nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. This increase was offset by a non-cash adjustment of the investment income from equity-method investees of NT$7,173.3 million, NT$5,088.5 million, NT$4,361.1 million (US$139.8 million) and NT$4,730.1 million (US$151.7 million) over the corresponding periods respectively. Investment income from equity-method investees and cash dividends received were mainly derived from our investments in FENC and UMTC.

Cash used in investing activities. Our net cash used in investing activities from 2007 to 2009 and during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 mainly reflected purchases of properties and equipment in connection with our facility build-out and capacity expansion of our PRC businesses, which increased significantly from NT$6,134.3 million in 2007 to NT$12,264.2 million in 2008 and NT$11,823.2 million (US$379.1 million) in 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, purchases of properties and equipment comprised NT$7,900.2 million (US$253.3 million) of our cash used in investing activities.

Cash flows from financing activities. Our net cash provided by financing activities was primarily affected by increases in long-term liabilities, net of repayment of long-term liabilities, which were NT$3,694.2 million in 2007, NT$11,199.6 million in 2008 and NT$10,150.0 million (US$325.4 million) in 2009. In the nine months ended September 30, 2010, long-term borrowing was a factor that contributed to net cash outflows, as repayments of long-term borrowings exceeded increase in long-term borrowings in the amount of NT$3,205.0 million (US$102.8 million) in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Another factor that affected our cash flows from financing activities was cash dividends paid out, which amounted to NT$3,798.0 million in 2007, NT$6,563.0 million in 2008, NT$5,217.8 million (US$167.3 million) in 2009 and NT$5,374.3 million (US$172.3 million) in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. As a result of the foregoing, our cash and cash equivalents balance increased by NT$906.7 million in 2009 to NT$17,838.1 million (US$571.9 million) as of December 31, 2009 and decreased by NT$12,007.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to NT$5,830.6 million (US$186.9 million) as of September 30, 2010.

Our current liabilities increased 24.7% from NT$20,994.3 million as of December 31, 2008 to NT$26,181.9 million (US$839.4 million) as of December 31, 2009. Although short-term loans and short-term bills payable decreased in 2009, accounts payable and accrued expenses and financial liabilities increased during this period. As of September 30, 2010, our current liabilities increased to NT$21,836.8 million (US$700.1 million) from NT$20,156.2 million as of September 30, 2009, an increase of 8.3%. Our long-term bank loans increased to NT$39,154.4 million (US$1,255.4 million) as of December 31, 2009 from NT$32,083.8 million as of December 31, 2008, while our bonds payable decreased to NT$7,000.0 million (US$224.4 million) from NT$10,707.9 million during the same period.

Taxation

The statutory income tax rate applicable to us in the ROC is 17%. The income of our foreign subsidiaries is not subject to ROC income tax.

We are entitled to a number of different types of income tax benefits in the ROC, including both tax holidays and tax credits. We recognize tax benefits, upon receipt, as deferred tax assets. To the extent that we are able to utilize tax benefits by offsetting them against taxable income or taxes payable, we reduce our deferred tax assets account accordingly. If and when deferred tax assets expire or otherwise become unavailable for our use, we reverse the applicable amount from our deferred tax assets, and recognize it on our statement of income as income tax expense. As a result, our income tax expenses comprise substantial amounts of unrealizable income tax assets, as well as income tax payments.

54

Our earnings from our operations in the PRC are subject to certain investment tax incentives. For example, certain tax credits apply with respect to purchases of equipment. Certain of our PRC subsidiaries currently enjoy a lower preferential tax rate but in the future will become subject to the standard tax rate of 25%.

As a result of those factors, our effective income tax rate for the years ended 2007, 2008 and 2009 was 6.2%, 5.0% and 7.4%, respectively. In September 30, 2010, our effective income tax rate was 4.7%.

Market Risk

Our exposure to financial market risks relates primarily to changes in interest rates and, to a lesser extent, foreign currency exchange rates. To mitigate these risks, we utilize derivative financial instruments, the application of which is primarily to manage these exposures, and not for speculative purposes. See Notes 6 and 10, "Information on Derivative Transactions," in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 5 in the Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Practices

The preparation of financial statements and disclosure in conformity with ROC GAAP requires our management to make certain judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and the accompanying notes. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported in our balance sheets and the amounts of revenues and expenses reported for each of the periods are affected by estimates and assumptions which are used for, but not limited to, impairment loss on assets and allowance for doubtful receivables, as well as the following:

(1) allowance for loss on inventory;
(2) depreciation of properties and equipment and nonoperating properties;
(3) amortization of deferred charges and intangible assets;
(4) pension; and
(5) bonuses to employees, directors and supervisors.

Actual results may differ from these estimates. For a description of our significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our financial statements, see Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009 included elsewhere in this offering memorandum.

DESCRIPTION OF ACC

Our Business

Overview

Our Strengths

We operate in a competitive industry. We believe our historical success and our potential for future growth are based on the following:

  • our leading market positions in the Taiwan cement market as both a leading domestic- and export capable producer, and through ACC China, in the PRC cement market which is experiencing rapid growth;
  • our experienced management team and its solid operational track record driven by production efficiency, competitive cost structure and an extensive sales network;
  • our commitment to more environmentally-friendly production processes;
  • our early entry into specific regional areas in the PRC through ACC China, which helps position the Company for growth; and
  • our synergistic integration and collaboration with subsidiaries and affiliates in the Far Eastern Group.

Our Strategies

Our goal is to be a leading provider of cement products and further increase our presence in the international cement markets through continued expansion in the PRC through ACC China. We aim to achieve this by executing the following strategic initiatives:

  • maintain a solid position as a market leader in Taiwan;
  • strategically invest in capacity expansion and increase our scale in selected regions in the PRC through ACC China;
  • strengthen our sales network and broaden marketing channels both domestically and internationally;

  • enhance profitability by increasing production efficiency through cost reductions and process improvements;

  • evaluate and pursue attractive strategic cooperation opportunities that may lead to acquisitions or joint ventures; and
  • extend our global market by expanding in emerging markets.

Products

Our products can be classified into four principal categories: clinker, cement products, RMC and blast-furnace slag powder. We also began to manufacture and sell stainless steel in 2008. We market our cement and clinker products under the "Skyscraper" brand name in the domestic market and overseas markets, which include Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Vietnam, the United States, Middle East and Africa. We sell our RMC products through our subsidiary Ya Tung Ready-Mixed Concrete Co. Ltd., which earned a sales revenue of NT$5,653 million (US$191.2 million) in 2009.

Clinker

Clinker is a semi-finished product which can be used to produce different types of cement products by mixing in different additives during the grinding process. Most of the clinker output that we produce is used in our cement production, and we sell the remainder to our customers. See "—Production Volume and Utilization."

Cement products

We sell three varieties of Portland cement products, consisting of ordinary Portland cement ("OPC"), Portland blast-furnace slag cement ("PBFSC") and composite Portland cement ("CPC"). We sell PBFSC and CPC in the PRC only through ACC China. These three varieties of cement products mainly differ in the percentage of clinker used and the blending of other ingredients during the grinding stage. For our PBFSC and CPC, the grinding mix includes blast-furnace slag powder, which is derived from a non-metallic byproduct of steel production.

Cement products are graded by compressive strength on a three-day and 28-day aging basis. The range of applications is discussed in the table below.

Cement typeApplications
OPCOPC is used in the construction of buildings and infrastructure which require high strength, and for structures constructed within a short period of time, such as highways, bridges, piers and airports. It is also used in general construction projects, such as residential buildings and high-rise buildings. OPC is suitable for all applications where the special properties of other cement products are not required.
PBFSCPBFSC is used to construct sulfate-exposed structures of considerable mass, such as piers, foundations, heavy retaining walls, port facilities and bridges.
CPCCPC is used in the construction of low-rise buildings.

RMC

RMC is a downstream cement product used in a variety of construction projects. Our RMC products are made from cement sourced within the Company, and are produced in accordance with the different requirements of our customers. RMC is produced by mixing cement with water, and adding certain aggregates and additives, such as sand and gravel, at our RMC batching facilities. RMC products are delivered to our customers on mixer trucks.

Blast-furnace slag powder

We use blast-furnace slag, a byproduct of steel production which we process into a powder, during our production of PBFSC. Most of the blast-furnace slag powder we produce is used in our cement production, while the remainder is sold to our customers. See “—Production Volume and Utilization.”

Other products

Yuan Long Stainless Steel Co., Ltd., a 51%-owned subsidiary of ours, which was founded on December 9, 2005, manufactures a variety of stainless steel products. The maximum annual capacity of its production facility is 130,000 MT, and the facility encompasses a land area of 73,000 square meters. The major product that it manufactures is BA cold-rolled stainless steel coil, but it also manufactures many different types of merchant stainless steel coils for a variety of uses. The sales revenue of Yuan Long Stainless Steel Co., Ltd. was NT$3,038 million (US$97.4 million) in 2009.

Cement Production Process

We produce clinker and cement using the dry process, which is more fuel-efficient than the wet process. The major stages involved in the manufacturing of cement by the dry process are described as follows:

Limestone is mined from the captive quarry by open cast blasting. A secondary blasting (in addition to the primary blasting) is required if the rock size is very large. Dozers are used for collecting the scattered rocks, and shovels are subsequently used for transferring the rock pieces from the ground to a dumper. The rock pieces are moved to the crusher hopper for crushing the limestone boulder into a uniform and usable size. Crushing is done in a closed circuit where the ground material is filtered as it emerges from the grinding mill and the coarser material is sent back into the mill for grinding.

The limestone is blended with certain additives and discharged on to a roller mill where the raw materials are ground to fine powder. An electrostatic precipitator de-dusts the raw mill gases and collects the raw meal for a series of further blending. The homogenized raw meal is extracted and pumped to the top of a pre-heater by air lift pumps.

In the pre-heaters the material is heated to approximately 1,200°C to 1,400°C. Subsequently, the raw meal undergoes a process of calcination in a pre-calcinator (in which the carbonates present are reduced to oxides) and is then fed to the kiln. Processed coal is used as a feed to the kiln, and is pumped into the kiln and the calciner lines of the pre-heater. The remaining calcination and clinkerization reactions are completed in the kiln where the temperature is raised to approximately 1,450°C. The clinker formed is cooled and conveyed to the clinker silo, where it is extracted and transported to our cement mills. Clinker is one of the intermediate products used in the manufacturing of cement. We use most of our clinker production output in producing our cement products.

In our cement mills, clinker, gypsum, iron sand and pozzolanic materials, such as fly ash and granulated blast furnace slag, are extracted in the required proportion for the desired cement product, mixed, and then fed for grinding. The final grinding is done in a vertical roller mill. The fine cement that emerges from the high efficiency separator is transported to cement silos by bucket elevator. Cement is stored in concrete silos and is extracted from the bottom of the silos by screw conveyors and packed into bags by rotary multi-spout packers. The packed cement is then loaded onto trucks by bag loading machines.

To produce RMC, cement and water are mixed with certain aggregates and additives such as sand and gravel.

Raw Materials

Raw materials used in our operations consist mainly of limestone, clay, gypsum, pyrite and raw coal for fuel. The price and quality of raw materials have remained stable since we rely mostly on long-term contracts. We have not experienced any major interruptions in the availability of raw materials for our operations. We and ACC China source most of our limestone from mines located adjacent to our integrated production facilities. Based on our current production levels, we estimate that our limestone reserves in Taiwan are sufficient for over 50 years. In the PRC, based on ACC China's current production levels, we estimate that our limestone reserves are sufficient for between 20 to 60 years, depending on the mine. We and ACC China procure other ancillary raw materials from suppliers at the prevailing market price. Clay is purchased from Taiwanese suppliers through short-term contracts. Gypsum and pyrite are supplied by qualified domestic and foreign manufacturers. We believe that the established business relationships we and ACC China have with the suppliers enable us to enjoy a consistent supply of the raw materials we need, and given that we source from a variety of suppliers, we are not dependent on any specific supplier for the raw materials we purchase.

Energy

The production of cement is an energy intensive process. Both we and ACC China rely primarily on coal and electricity to meet our energy needs. Our cost of coal accounted for approximately 31% to 36% of the total production cost in our Taiwan business and approximately 26% to 38% of the total cost of production in our PRC business for the past three years. Our electricity costs accounted for approximately 12% to 13% of the total production cost in our Taiwan business and approximately 14% to 16% of the total cost of sales in our PRC business in the past three years. Both we and ACC China have not experienced any shortage or delays in our supply of coal, and have not experienced any stoppage or reduction in production due to an interruption in our electricity supply.

Taiwan

We currently purchase coal, which is not widely available in Taiwan, from suppliers in Australia and the PRC. We also purchase a small portion of fuel oil to meet our energy needs.

We have traditionally met our electricity requirements through purchases from Taiwan Power Company ("Taipower"). Our supply of electricity from Taipower is subject to periodic power reductions during periods of peak demand. However, we have not experienced any stoppage or reduction in production due to an interruption in our electricity supply.

We installed waste heat recycling power generators at each of our Hualien and Hsinchu facilities. These generators utilize waste heat generated from our production facilities to produce electricity for our own use and to reduce reliance on electricity supply from third-party power producers.

PRC

ACC China primarily obtains coal from local mines in the PRC. The coal used in our production process is predominantly in the form of thermal coal, which is highly combustible compared to other types of coal.

ACC China obtains its electricity requirements from power producers, and has not experienced any stoppage or reduction in production due to an interruption in the electricity supply.

ACC China installed several waste heat recycling power generators at each of the Jiangxi, Hubei and Sichuan facilities. ACC China expects similar waste heat recycling power generators to be installed in other integrated clinker and cement production facilities.

Sales and Marketing

In the case of ACC, the principal markets in which we sell our cement products are in Hualien and northern and central Taiwan; in the case of ACC China, the principal markets are in the central and western Yangtze River Region, including Jiangxi, Hubei, Sichuan, as well as Shanghai and Zhejiang. The following table sets forth our cement-related domestic and export sales revenues for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008, 2009 and the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

  • Sales in the PRC are through ACC China and/or its subsidiaries.

Sales and marketing team

We and ACC China aim to strengthen our ongoing business relationships with our existing customers in both Taiwan and the PRC, maintain a high level of customer satisfaction and attract potential new customers through the continuous promotion of our products and market research. We and ACC China coordinate our sales operations among the different regions. As of December 31, 2010, we and ACC China employed 170 sales professionals, of which 33 are stationed in Taiwan and the remainder are stationed in the PRC.

Our and ACC China's overall marketing activities are overseen and coordinated by a central marketing department in Taiwan and the PRC. With our current sales and marketing structure, we believe that we can respond promptly and positively to any changes in market demand.

Customers

The customers of ACC China and us mainly include government construction and infrastructure project companies, RMC mixing plants, general distributors and other construction project companies. In overseas markets, ACC China and us have customers in Nigeria, Malaysia, Singapore, the United States and the Middle East. We have set up cement terminals and sales channels in those countries to ensure stable supply and distribution of our cement products.

In the PRC, the key construction and infrastructure project companies are primarily government entities that are responsible for government infrastructure projects, for which ACC China bids to provide cement. For its sales to RMC mixing plants, ACC China sells high grade cement in bulk. The general distributors are primarily companies engaged principally in the distribution of building materials. Other construction project companies to which we sell products are usually involved in real estate development. ACC China also supplies cement products directly to their customers or to the RMC mixing plants designated by their customers.

Pricing

Pricing for our products is determined by various factors, including the costs of raw materials, operating expenses, market demand and competition. We also apply different pricing methods depending on the customer, considering market conditions as well as the customer's creditworthiness and location.

Terms of Sales and Credit Policy

Generally, sales are settled through bank transfer, check or bank draft. Some of our sales are settled by pre-payment by our customers, on a cash-on-delivery basis, or by a balance by

way of credit sales. With regards to credit sales, we have implemented a strict credit control policy under which the credit terms are only granted following an appraisal of the creditworthiness and credit history of our customers. Our credit policies are consistent with industry practice.

Competition

The cement industry is primarily a regional industry. Cement sales tend to be concentrated within the local market, as the weight, bulk and volume of cement makes it expensive to transport. As a result, our and ACC China's competitiveness is not only determined by the price and quality of our cement products, but also by distribution capabilities, product development capabilities, customer relationships and the competitive environment at the locations of our and ACC China's cement plants.

Taiwan

The Taiwan cement industry is mature and subject to various competitive pressures, while being dominated by two major market participants, namely Taiwan Cement Corp. and us. The level of imported cement is relatively low compared to domestically produced cement, but may increase if current prices in other countries are lower than in Taiwan, as the decrease in prices can offset the additional transportation costs.

The bulk of cement produced in Taiwan has been sold domestically. This is due to a variety of factors, including intense competition in the overseas markets to which we export and the high transportation costs resulting in reduced pricing power.

PRC

Competition in the PRC cement industry is intensified by the expansion of major cement companies which benefit from the policy initiatives of the PRC government. There have been an increasing number of mergers and acquisitions across provinces, involving large cement manufacturers expanding their production capacities rapidly through acquisitions of smaller manufacturers and existing production facilities. In addition, the entrance of foreign cement companies has also heightened the competition in the PRC cement industry.

In the last several years, PRC government policies encouraged the development of large-scale cement companies while imposing more stringent rules that required small-scale companies to make improvements and close low-technology production plants compulsorily. The policies are aimed at leading the cement industry to healthy development through measures such as stringent control over new cement projects, accelerating the elimination of obsolete capacity and raising barriers to entry. The PRC government also encouraged the use of high-grade cement and discouraged the use of low-grade cement. Such government policies created opportunities for consolidation among cement companies and the adoption of new and advanced technologies.

We believe that we and ACC China and us are competitively positioned in both markets due to our experienced management team, high-quality cement products, production efficiency, cost-effectiveness, extensive sales and transportation network, and satisfactory after-sales services.

Distribution Network

We and ACC China have distribution terminals, including silos and other ancillary facilities, at different locations in Taiwan and the PRC for the storage of our cement products. Each of the storage silos is equipped with automated uploading and environmental-friendly facilities for the efficient transport and storage of the cement products.

We and ACC China have engaged distributors to distribute our cement products in order to fully utilize our production capacities. We believe our and ACC China's extensive network of distributors in Taiwan and the PRC forms an integral and vital part of our business model. We and ACC China have entered into distribution agreements with these various distributors for terms ranging from one year to three years. In selecting the distributors, we and ACC China have agreed with the distributors on detailed arrangements on the geographical coverage of each distributor so as to minimize competition among the distributors. We believe that we and ACC China have a good working relationship with all of our distributors.

63

^{}[] 64

Quality Control

Our and ACC China's quality control departments in Taiwan and the PRC perform quality control functions throughout the entire production process, from the excavation of raw materials to the transportation of the products, in order to ensure that the cement products and clinker can meet their respective industry standards.

In addition to satisfying the basic industry standards, we and ACC China have implemented a comprehensive quality control and production tracking system with respect to the raw materials we source and at every stage of the production process. Every stage of the production process is automated and constantly monitored by the engineers. Our and ACC China's production lines are regularly inspected and maintained by the engineers to ensure that they are in proper working condition.

Product and Process Development

We strive to place a strong emphasis on product and process development activities in both Taiwan and the PRC; these activities are performed by our and ACC China's quality control department.

We and ACC China focus on improving the production process and product quality by:

  • selecting and analyzing principal raw materials, such as limestone, sandstone and clay, and other supplementary raw materials, such as blast-furnace slag and gypsum, and improving the use of different combinations of raw materials so as to ensure the quality of our products and the production efficiency;
  • improving the efficiency in the production and grinding processes;
  • developing different combinations of raw materials and additives for upgrading the quality of cement products;
  • developing and modifying the production process, including full automation and adoption of new production techniques with modern production equipment and advanced production technologies;
  • developing cement storage and delivery facilities; and
  • developing technologies and measures to reduce emissions and pollution.

We believe that our continued efforts to improve our and ACC China's product and process development will help maintain our competitive position in both Taiwan and the PRC.

Environmental Protection

The two main environmental concerns in the cement industry are (a) the air pollution from dust generated by the crushing, grinding and production processes and (b) the destruction of the environment through the process of extracting limestone. In accordance with the government regulations, we and ACC China have set up a continuous emission monitoring system to monitor the pollutant opacity of nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides and other pollutants. We and ACC China have also adopted the necessary measures to prevent all types of industrial risks, as mandated through our compliance with ISO9001:2000 standards. Such measures include fire prevention, explosion prevention, industrial safety and construction safety for our production facilities in Taiwan and the PRC. We and ACC China also meet ISO14001:2007 standards in relation to our environmental management systems and OHSAS 18000 standards in relation to our health and safety management systems.

Air Pollution Prevention

Dust disposal is an important duty, not only to prevent air pollution, but also to reduce the loss of raw materials and finished products. Consequently, we and ACC China have focused our efforts on the efficiency of dust collection equipment. For instance, in Taiwan, the Hsinchu plant has 2 electrostatic precipitators and 35 bag filters, while the Hualien plant has 9 electrostatic precipitators and 75 bag filters.

In the PRC, ACC China's subsidiary Jiangxi Yadong Cement Co. was certified by the PRC's Zhong-Huan United Recognition Center in April 2005 and received ISO-14001 certification in May

  1. With the construction of an environmentally friendly new dry notary kiln underway, ACC China will be able to incinerate urban sludge upon the completion of this kiln. We believe ACC China will not only minimize environmental pollution, but also bring in additional revenue from municipal waste treatment.

Our Environmental Achievements and Initiatives

In Taiwan, both Hsinchu and Hualien plants have implemented measures for soil conservation and have taken actions to green the environment by planting trees and other vegetation. In August 1996, the Hualien plant was granted certification by the Bureau of Commodity Inspection and Quarantine of the MOEA. In November of the same year, we became one of the first organizations in Taiwan to receive ISO-14001 certification. In 2003, the Hualien Plant was awarded for the merits of its environment beautification and greening efforts by the Environment Greenery Association R.O.C. In 2007, it was awarded for its excellent performance in the project of "promoting green communities" by the Environmental Protection Administration, ROC Executive Yuan.

We are planning to carry out the following environmental protection initiatives in the future:

  • reinforcing and ensuring the normal operation of environmental facilities;
  • practicing in industry waste reduction; avoiding pollution;
  • improving the greening rate in factory and quarry areas;
  • utilizing wastes as resources to take social responsibilities;
  • enhancing environmentally-friendly measures and techniques.

We and ACC China have not encountered any material fire and industrial accidents, serious injury or death to personnel, and have not received claims for material damages resulting from occupational hazards or injuries relating to our operations. In addition, we believe that both we and ACC China are in compliance with all material environmental regulations in Taiwan and the PRC and enjoy good relationships with environmental groups who monitor the impact of cement factories on the environment. We also believe that we and ACC China are leaders among cement producers in the effort to reduce air pollution from dust caused by the production of cement and to restore quarries after the extraction of limestone through the planting of trees and other plants.

Repairs and Maintenance

We and ACC China have implemented a comprehensive system for the repair and maintenance of each of our production facilities for the purposes of optimizing production efficiency and to maintaining the safety of our industrial plants for our employees in Taiwan and the PRC. Pursuant to the established procedures, we and ACC China conduct an annual overhaul of certain major mechanical equipment, such as for our rotary kilns and grinding facilities.

Insurance

Our and ACC China's significant insurance policies for ongoing operations cover fire and third-party liability insurance. Consistent with customary practice in Taiwan and the PRC, we and ACC China do not carry any business interruption insurance or product liability insurance against claims or liabilities that may arise from products sold by us. To control our product liability risk, we and ACC China place significant emphasis on quality control. See "— Quality Control."

We and ACC China also maintain insurance for our employees as required by the applicable laws and regulations in Taiwan and the PRC.

Most of our and ACC China's operations-related insurance policies are renewed annually. We believe that we and ACC China have maintained adequate insurance policies for our production facilities and our employees which help reduce our risk exposure. We believe that our and ACC China's insurance coverage is appropriate and consistent with industry practice in Taiwan and the PRC given the nature of our business and the risks we face.

Employees

As of December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2010, ACC had approximately 662 and 660 employees, respectively, in Taiwan, and ACC China had 3,397 and 3,544 employees, respectively, in the PRC.

Property

ACC owns the property where our manufacturing facilities are located in Taiwan. In Hualien where we have a limestone mine, ACC was granted rights by the ROC government to use the land until November 2017. An extension for the mining license of the Hsinchu plant, however, was refused by the MOEA in June 2010 because the plant is located in a reservation area. We have filed a petition on July 1, 2010 which is currently being reviewed by the ROC Executive Yuan. Nonetheless, we have sufficient limestone inventory in the Hsinchu plant at the moment, and, alternatively, we can purchase limestone from third-party suppliers. Thus, there is no significant impact on our business, financial condition or results of operation as a result of this dispute. In the PRC, land use rights for most of the lands are valid for 40 to 50 years. A portion of the properties that ACC China uses in the PRC are granted under temporary land use rights certificates, and ACC China is in the process of obtaining renewal for such certificates. (See "Risk Factors—Risk Relating to the Cement Industry - Cement-related mining activities are extensively regulated. Changes in policy or regulations may cause us and ACC China to incur significant compliance costs. We and ACC China may also be unable to procure the necessary exploration or mining rights with respect to our planned projects.")

Power Production

In a joint venture with J-POWER Netherlands B.V., we acquired Chiahui Power in 1999, which constructed and now operates a 670MW gas-fired thermal power plant in Chiayi, Taiwan. The plant was commissioned in December 2003.

Under a power purchase agreement with Taipower, after deducting about 2% of its electrical output for its internal use, Chiahui Power is obligated to sell its entire electricity production output to Taipower for 25 years beginning from the date of Chiahui Power's first commercial production of electricity, and Taipower is obligated to purchase such electricity production output. According to the agreement with Taipower, Chiahui Power guarantees approximately 3,500 hours of annual electricity production. The agreement may be extended by the two parties two years prior to its expiration for a five-year term. Under the agreement, Taipower may also request that Chiahui Power suspend electricity production during a period of economic recession in Taiwan, provided that Taipower and Chiahui Power reach an agreement on the terms of compensation during such period.

The following set forth the details of ACC China, a major subsidiary, and UMTC, a significant affiliate.

ACC China

As of December 31, 2010, ACC effectively owned 72.29% of ACC China, the entity through which ACC conducts its business in the PRC. Together with its subsidiaries, ACC China manufactures and sells cement, concrete and related products. ACC China was listed on the Main Board of Hong Kong Stock Exchange on May 20, 2008 with a market capitalization of HK$6,412 million as of January 19, 2011.

The manufacturing activities of ACC China are mainly based in the Jiangxi, Sichuan, Hubei, Yangzhou and Shanghai areas. The overall operating strategies are deployed through a number of subsidiaries located in the various regions; Jiangxi Yadong Cement Co., Sichuan Yadong Cement Co., Hubei Yadong Cement Co., Yangzhou Yadong Cement Co., Huanggang Yadong Cement Co. and Wuhan Ya Sin Cement Co. are the core production bases in Southeast China, Southwest China, Middle China and East Coast respectively. ACC China has a network for production of three grinding factories, five clinker manufacturing companies, three transportation companies and six RMC Companies. It aims to continue to expand its capacity through building new production lines or through mergers and acquisitions.

In 2010, ACC China continued to increase its production capacity and market coverage. With various new transportation, rural development and infrastructure projects launched in

67

Sichuan, and the central and lower Yangtze River regions, ACC China continued to experience significant production sales volume growth. The reasons for this growth can be attributed to, among others, (i) many infrastructure projects in the PRC continued to receive sufficient investment for their on-going operations despite the downturn in the world economy; (ii) further market development in the rural areas of the PRC; and (iii) increasing efforts from the PRC government to push ahead with social welfare housing and renovation projects in under-developed areas. All of these contributed to the continued growth in demand for cement in the PRC. In addition, the PRC government accelerated the elimination of obsolete production capacity and closed down 762 outdated cement enterprises with a combined total production capacity of 107.3 million MT by the end of September 2010, thus improving the balance of supply and demand for cement.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the consolidated revenue of ACC China and its subsidiaries amounted to RMB4,207.4 million, which represents an increase of 30% from RMB3,248.2 million in the previous year. This increase in revenue was mainly attributable to an overall increase in total production output as a result of increased market demand, the full operation of the No.2 new dry process rotary kiln at Sichuan Yadong Plant and the No.1 new dry process rotary kiln at Hubei Yadong Plant, which commenced operation in December 2008 and March 2009, respectively. Sales of cement products accounted for 87%, and sales of concrete accounted for 10% of ACC China's revenue in the year ended December 31, 2009. During the first nine months of 2010, ACC China's sales volume of cement products amounted to 14.0 million MT, representing an increase of 40% as compared to that of the corresponding period in 2009. The increase in sales was due to the commencement of operation of the No.3 new dry process rotary kiln at Sichuan Yadong Plant in March 2010, the No.1 new dry process rotary kiln at Huanggang Yadong Plant, the No.4 new dry process rotary kiln at Jiangxi Yadong Plant in May 2010, as well as the recent completion of acquisition of the set of production facilities of Wuhan Yaxin Cement Co., Ltd.

ACC China's consolidated revenue in the first nine months of 2010 amounted to RMB3,675.8 million, representing an increase of 20.1% over the corresponding period last year. The growth in revenue was attributable to the increase in sales volume driven by the enhanced production capacity. The No.2 new dry process rotary kiln at Hubei Yadong Plant which was completed in early October 2010 has commenced operation. The rated production capacity of clinker of ACC China has increased to 14.8 million MT per year, with actual clinker production capacity reaching 17.5 million MT per year.

ACC China manufactures and sells its cement products in the PRC through the plants operated by the following major subsidiaries.

Jiangxi Yadong Cement Co.

This subsidiary has 4 kilns, each with an annual clinker capacity of 1.7 million MT, with an annual output of 6.6 million MT clinker, which can produce 8.0 million MT cement. With the full support of the Jiangxi Province government, there are plans to build the fifth and sixth production lines for cement and clinker. If the additional production lines are completed as planned, each kiln can increase its capacity to 2.4 million MT clinker, which can produce 3.0 million MT cement.

Sichuan Yadong Cement Co.

The construction of the 3 kilns has been completed by Sichuan Yadong Cement Co., resulting in an annual output of 5.0 million MT clinker, which can produce 6.0 million MT cement. The construction and production goal of this subsidiary is to serve the demand from Chengdu areas and the earthquake recovery plan. The continuous post-earthquake infrastructure development and reconstruction efforts have driven up the market demand.

After more than three years in operation in the cement market of Chengdu, the "洋房" brand name of the subsidiary has gained recognition from customers for its high quality and effective after-sales services. The "洋房" brand cement is extensively used in key construction projects in Chengdu, including Chengdu Airport, power stations, expressways, express railways, large-scale property projects and batching plants.

^{}[] 69

Hubei Yadong Cement Co.

The construction of two kilns with an annual clinker capacity of 1.7 million MT has been completed in October 2010. The annual output of clinker is 3.3 million MT, which can produce 4.0 million MT cement.

Yangzhou Yadong Cement Co.

The major markets of ACC China in the Yangtze River Delta Region include Yangzhou, Shanghai and Zhejiang. Upon full operation of all three cement grinding facilities in Yangzhou Yadong Plant at the end of 2008, it generated output and sales of over 1.8 million MT cement for the year ended December 31, 2009. Yangzhou Yadong Plant has been contracted to supply cement and commodity concrete for the construction of pre-fabricated housing in the economic development region of Yangzhou.

Huanggang Yadong Cement Co.

The construction of 1 kiln with an annual clinker capacity of 1.7 million MT has been completed in May 2010. The annual output of clinker is 1.7 million MT, which can product 2.0 million MT cement.

Wuhan Ya Sin Cement Co.

From the third quarter of 2010, Wuhan Ya Sin Cement Co. was consolidated with ACC China and has an annual output of 1.5 to 2.0 million MT cement.

ACC China's Market

Sichuan Region

The post-earthquake infrastructure development and reconstruction efforts had driven the strong market demand for cement. Economic conditions began to pick up later in 2009 due to national policies that increased domestic demand, and in addition the property market in Chengdu recovered, leading to a gradual recovery in the cement industry and a distinct rebound in cement prices.

Central Yangtze River Region

ACC China is well-regarded in the Central Yangtze River Region through its continuous expansion efforts and its involvement in key projects in Wuhan such as express railways, commodity concrete stations and piping plants. In the rural market of Eastern Hubei, ACC China's sales network and strategic planning had led to high penetration of neighbouring markets as well as the extension of its market coverage to Henan Xinyang region. ACC China has been contracted to supply cement to various key construction projects including Hanyi Railway, Shiwu Railway Line, Da Guang South Expressway, Nanchang Changbei Airport, Jiujiang Yangtze River Bridge No.2, Changfeng Expressway, Jiurui Expressway and Hangrui Expressway. These orders consist of over 3.0 million MT cement in total and are to be delivered in 2010.

Yangtze River Delta Region

The major markets in this region include Yangzhou, Shanghai and Zhejiang. Upon full operation of all of the three cement grinding facilities in Yangzhou Yadong Plant at the end of 2008, their production capacity was fully leveraged and generated output and sale of cement of over 1.8 million MT in 2009. Since the cement markets in Shanghai and Zhejiang are highly developed, the cement prices and profit margins are relatively lower than other markets of ACC China. In light of this, ACC China only supplied cement to these areas for optimisation of its capacity.

UMTC

As of December 31, 2010, ACC effectively owned 39.74% of UMTC, formerly known as Yue Ming Transportation Co., which was reorganised in 1984 to provide marine transportation of bulk cement, dry industrial raw materials and commodities, sell and purchase of vessels, and provide vessel husbanding and agency services. UMTC was listed on the TWSE on December 8, 1990. UMTC owns and operates ships that transport dry bulk cargoes, principally cement, crude oil, coal, iron ore and grain, but it also runs an investment business.

Employees of UMTC

UMTC, including its offshore subsidiaries, had 647 employees as of September 30, 2010.

As at December 31, 2009, UMTC along with its subsidiaries owned and operated a fleet of 25 bulk carriers, 6 cement carriers and 1 crude oil tanker with a total tonnage of about 3.37 million DWT of which 2 cape-sized and 1 panamax bulkers are joint venture-owned. The 6 cement carriers are equipped with advanced self-loading/unloading facilities to provide comprehensive network coverage and logistical support to ACC's west-bound cement shipments and exports to Asian markets. In order to diversify and expand their operating realms into the global market, UMTC acquired a Very Large Crude Carrier ("VLCC") to start in the crude oil transportation business. Currently UMTC has a backlog of newbuilding orders for 8 bulkers and one cape-sized bulk carrier with joint venture companies.

In addition to two newbuilding orders for 58,000 DWT Supramax placed in 2007, UMTC began its fleet-renewal programme with additional six newbuilding orders in July 2010: four 206,000-DWT cape-sized bulk carriers from Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. and two 82,000-DWT Kamsarmax bulkers from CSSC Guangzhou Longxue Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. UMTC plans to carry out its renewal plan in the next five years not only through newbuildings but also through the acquisition of the resale tonnages and purchase of modern secondhand vessels. In addition it has a joint venture with Taiwan's state-run petro-chemical company, CPC Corporation, Taiwan and another local drybulk operator, Chinese Maritime Transport Ltd to set up an oil tanker company. The new company is expected to operate in January 2011. The joint venture company plans to purchase 6 VLCCs and 1 LR1-type product tanker.

UMTC will continue its fleet expansion. They are also looking to enter businesses which involve other types of ships. UMTC also has in place an effective training plan to groom quality crew members and cultivate professionalism of talents within the Company.

Prospects and Strategy

Bulk shipping is closely linked to the global economic climate. With the implementation of the PRC government's stimulus package, the number of infrastructure projects increased and the demand for steel recovered gradually in the second half of 2009. This in turn increased the demand for raw materials such as iron ore, and also placed pressure on the demand and the price for coal, leading the PRC to import more coal from overseas. These changes in the past year have led to an increase in the demand for bulk shipping. This trend may continue in the PRC, India and other emerging economies as domestic demand continues to rise with ongoing infrastructure projects. In light of this projected growing demand, UMTC's principal goal is to become a world-class transportation and logistics company while maintaining its core competency in dry bulk shipping. Currently it has an internal E-based market intelligence knowledge base which closely monitors and analyses market changes which is used as an information sharing platform to enhance operational efficiency. UMTC continues to upgrade its product mix and looks to expand its investment activities through strategic alliance and joint ventures. It selects customers carefully and considers the reputation and the operational stability as factors for developing partnerships. UMTC is able to leverage on its local and overseas subsidiaries' advantages in terms of preferential taxation, exchange control and interest rate risk, thereby seeking to lower corporate taxes. It aims to keep its fleet young and competitive by fine-tuning the fleet operational structure, making timely replacements and considering plans to carry on fleet expansion.

Management

Directors and Supervisors

Our board of directors is responsible for the management of our business. The board consists of thirteen directors and five supervisors as of April 30, 2010, who are elected by our shareholders at an ordinary shareholders' meeting by means of cumulative voting. Our directors serve three-year terms and may be re-elected for any number of consecutive terms. Our articles of incorporation provides for a board comprising thirteen directors. The chairman of the board is elected by our directors.

The ROC Company Law requires a public company to have at least two supervisors at all times, and a supervisor cannot concurrently serve as a director, managerial officer or other staff member. Supervisors are required under the ROC Company Law to perform supervisory and oversight functions that are independent of the authority of the board of directors of an ROC company. The main responsibilities of supervisors are to supervise the business operations of the company and to examine and review the accounting books, records and other related documents of the company. Supervisors also have certain oversight duties with respect to the internal control systems of public companies. The supervisors' duties and powers include: investigating our business and financial conditions; inspecting our corporate records; attending board meetings; verifying some statements by our board of directors prior to the regular shareholders' meetings; calling shareholders' meetings when our board of directors does not or cannot call such a meeting and/or when such a meeting is necessary for the benefit of the Company; and representing us in negotiations with our directors. When necessary, supervisors have the authority to direct the board of directors to cease acting in violation of any applicable law or regulation, or in contravention to our articles of incorporation or the resolutions adopted at our shareholders' meetings. In performing his or her duties, a supervisor may retain, on behalf of the Company and without the approval of the board of directors, practicing lawyers and/or certified public accountants to examine or audit the business operations, financial results, accounting books and financial statements of the Company.

Our supervisors are typically elected by shareholders at the time when the directors are elected. Like the directors, they also serve three-year terms and may be re-elected for any number of consecutive terms.

Pursuant to the ROC Securities and Exchange Law, a public company is required to have either an audit committee or supervisors, provided that the FSC may, after considering the scale, business nature and other essential conditions, require the company to establish an audit committee in place of its supervisors. A public company's audit committee should include every one of their independent directors but there cannot be less than three members, of which at least one member should have accounting or related financial management expertise. The relevant provisions under the ROC Securities and Exchange Law, the ROC Company Law and other laws applicable to the supervisors are also applicable to the audit committee. Currently, ACC does not have an audit committee.

A director or a supervisor serving as a representative of a legal entity may be removed or replaced at any time at the discretion of that legal entity, and the replacement director or supervisor may serve the remainder of the term in place of that director or supervisor.

The present members on the board of directors and our supervisors took office on June 17, 2008 for a 3-year term.

The following table sets forth certain specified information with respect to each director and supervisor of ACC as of April 30, 2010.

In line with its new business scopes and strategies, FENC recently purchased through a subsidiary 70% of Martens Beer Trading (Shanghai) Corporation on March 24, 2010.

For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008, 2009 and the nine months ended September 30, 2010, FENC had consolidated net income of approximately NT$17,331.3 million, NT$10,317.6 million, NT$14,623.8 million (US$468.9 million) and NT$14,084.7 million (US$451.6 million), respectively. FENC had a market capitalization of approximately NT$234.9 billion (US$7.7 billion) as of December 31, 2010.

FENC's Strengths

FENC believes its success to date can be attributed to the following competitive strengths:

  • leadership in the polyester industry and strong relationships with branded customers;
  • superior research and development capabilities for new and improved products;
  • established presence in the PRC;
  • experienced management team; and
  • portfolio of investments across a wide variety of industries such as telecommunications, cement, retailing, banking and real estate development, which provides diversified sources of cash flow and growth opportunities.

FENC's Strategies

FENC's principal goal is to maintain and strengthen its position as one of the world's leading polyester companies and to enhance shareholder value. FENC aims to accomplish this through the following strategies:

  • invest in product development to maintain industry leadership and improve on margins;
  • strategically expand FENC's presence in overseas markets;
  • improve operating efficiency and enhance profits;

  • continually upgrade its product mix;

  • leverage synergies with the Far Eastern Group; and
  • realize the untapped value of idle land through selective real estate development projects.

FENC aims to continually upgrade its product mix and enhance its research and development ability to maintain its leading position in the polyester industry. Furthermore, FENC will expand its green energy business by developing more recyclable materials, such as chips, bottles and fibers, as well as biodegradable polymers made from polylactic acid. FENC has been focusing on the production of higher margin non-textile polyester products. In the next five years, FENC plans to build two PTA production facilities, one in Guanyin, Taipei County, Taiwan, and the other in Shanghai, China, in order to raise the annual production capacity of PTA to 4.0 million tons from the current capacity of 1.6 million tons.

FENC's Business Operations

FENC conducts its polyester business through two operation centers in Taiwan: the Polyester Business Operation Center and the Textile Business Operation center. Within the Polyester Business Operation Centre are the Fiber Division, Solid-State Polymer Division and Functional Material Division. Under the Textile Business Operation Center are the Textile Division and Knitting Fabric & Apparel Division. These operation centers, along with a number of FENC subsidiaries and affiliates, provide a substantial degree of vertical integration throughout the textile and non-textile polyester operations of FENC.

Polyester Business Operation Center ("Polyester Center") of FENC

FENC is a leading producer of polyester in Asia. FENC's basic unfinished product is polyester chip, a material used in the manufacture of all of the division's textile and non-textile products. FENC is also one of the world's largest producers of polyester textile products. FENC's two principal polyester textile products are polyester staple fiber, a generic commodity used in the manufacture of products ranging from fine cotton-blending yarn to carpet pile, and polyester filament, a raw material used for woven and knitted fabrics.

The Polyester Center currently produces a majority of its products in its production facility located in Hsinpu and Kuanyin, Taiwan. The Kuanyin production line is one of the world's largest single polyester polymer production facilities. The Kuanyin facility manufactures SSP products and polyester filament. In addition, FENC has developed polyester polymer and polyester filament capacity in Shanghai through a subsidiary outside the Polyester Division. See "International Operations of FENC's Polyester, Textile and Apparel Businesses." FENC believes that its high degree of vertical integration, advanced process technology and modern facilities have enabled it to become an efficient and low-cost producer of a broad range of polyester products.

Several new production lines were being constructed in 2009 and 2010. Six production lines for amorphous PET sheets are located in Wuhan, Hubei Province in the PRC, and another six lines are located in Shanghai. Once completed, FENC will be the largest producer of this product type in the PRC. FENC also constructed a PET-made beer bottle plant in Suzhou, China in order to produce PET bottle chips, bottle pre-forms, as well as fill and bottle beer. The first bottle that they launched, named CoolerPak™, was licensed by Martens Beer, and FENC has secured other beer companies to use this product.

For the year ended December 31, 2009 and the nine months ended September 30, 2010, approximately 78% and 77%, respectively, of FENC's total unconsolidated operating revenue came from the Polyester Center, making it FENC's largest business segment.

Polyester Chips

Polyester chips are the basic raw material used by FENC in manufacturing all of its polyester products. As of September 30, 2010, FENC had an annual chip production capacity of approximately 910,000 tons, substantially all of which was used internally. FENC also produces recycled PET and bio-PET chips.

SSP

FENC's principal non-textile products are SSP products, principally PET bottle resin and high intrinsic viscosity chips, preform and finished PET bottles, HDI yarn and PET sheets. PET bottle resin is used to produce PET bottles and high intrinsic viscosity chips are used to produce HDI yarn. PET bottles are used for the storage of carbonated and non-carbonated liquids, primarily beverages. HDI yarn is used for conveyor belts, geotextiles, automobile seat belts and fishnet. In addition, FENC produces polyester sheet and film, all of which require different quality chips than PET bottles and HDI yarn.

Most of FENC's SSP production consists of PET bottle resin and PET preform bottles, with the remainder consisting of HDI yarn, polyester sheet and various other products. Bottle manufacturers generally purchase PET bottle resin from FENC in the form of chips rather than preform or finished PET bottles. FENC generally sells HDI yarn to end-product manufacturers rather than weaving the yarn itself.

Polyester Staple Fiber

Polyester staple fiber is used in the manufacture of clothing as well as in non-woven form to be used as fiber-fill for pillows, carpeting and insulation. In addition, it is sometimes used in manufacturing other specialty items such as toys, upholstery, sleeping bags, sport shoes, and diapers. Textile polyester staple fiber is used for apparel and home furnishings. It has physical

80

characteristics which are similar to natural fibers, such as cotton and wool, and is typically spun, dyed and woven. Textile polyester staple fiber can be used in their pure form or be blended with cotton, wool, acrylic or viscose. FENC has also been active in developing new applications for its polyester staple fiber, including microfibers used for synthetic leathers, and spins microfibers with characteristics similar to fine cotton. Currently, FENC produces bi-component fibers, fibers in which the core and outer band are made from different polymers, which can be used for fiber-fill and for products requiring absorbent materials, such as diapers.

Approximately 50% of FENC's polyester staple fiber was used in non-textile applications in 2009. Since margins and demands are relatively stable on non-textile products for its broad diversity, FENC has gradually shifted its product mix towards non-textile products.

Polyester Filament

Although polyester filament has some non-textile uses, it is primarily used for apparel. The relatively low cost as well as durability of polyester filament has made it especially popular, where polyester filament competes successfully with traditional natural fibers. The products resulting from the production of polyester filament are unfinished yarn, which must be immediately processed further, or be sold as an intermediate product called partially oriented yarn ("POY") which has a shelf life ranging from 6 months to 2 years to complete the yarn-making process. Unfinished yarn and POY are either texturized or drew twisted during the production process to give the fibers a more "natural" feel. Texturized filament yarn (fully oriented yarn) has a texture similar to wool and is used in knitting and weaving, primarily in the production of suiting and for sewing thread. Drawn twisted filament yarn has a texture similar to silk and is also used for knitting and weaving, primarily for producing dress materials.

The trend in the textile industry is to develop specialty yarns; that is, yarns with special properties. The specialty yarns sold by FENC include various types of "microfilament" (yarns with deniers per filament of less than 1), flame-retardant yarns, and yarns with functional characteristics of anti-UV, anti-bacteria and/or regulating body temperature. FENC produces a variety of yarns with deniers per filament of 0.2 and 0.5. These microfilaments have a texture similar to natural silk and can be used in a wide range of products ranging from stockings to ties and dress materials. Microfilament yarns are somewhat more time consuming and costly to produce, but generally yield a higher profit margin.

Raw Materials for FENC's Polyester Products

Approximately 69% to 74% of the polyester segment's production cost is for raw materials, principally the costs of PTA and MEG. PTA and MEG are obtained in powder and liquid forms, respectively, and both are petrochemical derivatives. Approximately 0.83 tons of PTA and 0.33 tons of MEG are required to produce one ton of polyester polymer, although the actual rate is affected slightly by the type of equipment used and the product manufactured. With the exception of PTA and MEG, the raw materials required for the production of polyester are generally available from many sources worldwide at relatively stable prices. Nearly all requirements of PTA for FENC are satisfied domestically.

In 2009, the Polyester Center obtains approximately 24% of its PTA requirements from Taiwan-based China American Petrochemical Co., Ltd. and approximately 29% of its requirements from Oriental Petrochemical (Taiwan) Co., Ltd. The Polyester Center obtains its MEG requirements from Oriental Union Chemical Corp., FENC's subsidiary and one of three MEG producers in Taiwan and Saudi Basic Industries Corporation ("SABIC"). FENC's Shanghai operations purchase their PTA and MEG requirements from Oriental Petrochemical (Shanghai) Corporation, one of its subsidiaries in the PRC, and SABIC, respectively.

Competition in the Polyester Business

FENC faces significant competition in both its domestic and export markets, primarily on the basis of price and product quality. Internationally, FENC's most significant competitors for PET resins and other SSP products are the major chemical manufacturers. PET bottles compete with other forms of packaging, such as glass bottles and aluminum cans. PET bottle prices are most competitive, as its price is comparable to other forms of packaging in the larger sizes, such as 2-liter bottles. In recent years, FENC has been active in developing new types of PET containers, including light-weight bottles, hot-fill bottles and PET beer bottles and has been investing in new facilities, which have lower unit cost of production.

81

In the microfiber and non-woven fiber markets, FENC's leading competitors are the European, U.S. and Japanese fiber producers. In the commodity polyester textile market, FENC's major competitors are the other Taiwanese, PRC and Korean producers and the local producers in the countries to which FENC exports. The textile polyester market is very competitive, with numerous large and small producers.

Textile Business Operation Center ("Textile Center") of FENC

For the year ended December 31, 2009 and the nine months ended September 30, 2010, approximately 22% and 23%, respectively, of FENC's total unconsolidated operating revenue came from the Textile Center. FENC believes that it is the largest producer of yarn in Taiwan and the only vertically integrated producer of sportswear in Taiwan. In recent years, FENC has expanded the capability of this division by developing new types of yarns and fabrics, particularly through the application of microfibers. The Textile Center also produces garments, including shirts, sportswear, casual wear and outerwear, and home furnishings, mainly bed sheets and pillow cases.

Raw Materials for FENC's Textile and Apparel Products

The principal raw materials used by the Textile Center are polyester staple fiber and cotton fiber. The Textile Division obtains substantially all of its polyester staple fiber from the Fiber Division under the Polyester Center. All of FENC's cotton requirements are met through spot or short-term contract purchases from major international traders and cooperatives.

Yarn is the basic raw material in the production of woven cloth. FENC currently produces a broad range of yarns, including pure polyester, pure cotton, polyester-cotton and polyester-rayon blended yarns, dyed yarns and various types of specialty yarns. Yarn is produced by spinning the short fibers found in bales of polyester staple fiber and cotton staple fiber into long strands and then combining these polyester and cotton strands in predetermined ratios into threads. These threads are then wound around spindles, which can be sold to outside customers or used internally by FENC to produce either unfinished cloth or apparels.

FENC produces internally approximately 80% of the knits and 20% of the woven fabrics used by the Textile Center. Dress shirts, suits, casual wear, sportswear, boxer shorts and home furnishings are generally made from woven cloth while underwear and sportswear are made from knitted fabrics. FENC believes that its licensing arrangements enable it to keep abreast of contemporary fashions and acquire modern design capability. The Center purchases almost all of its suitings externally. The Center imports specialty fabrics, such as fabrics incorporating microfibers and wrinkle-free fibers.

Competition in the Textile and Apparel Business

In recent years, the Textile Center has responded to increasing competition with respect to its traditional commodity products by emphasizing specialty products. In the Taiwan market, the Textile Center is increasingly competitive in terms of product quality as well as price, against other Taiwanese manufacturers as well as low-cost yarn producers in other Southeast Asian countries which take advantage of Taiwan's low customs tariff for yarn. In the international market, FENC believes that the principal competitive factors, in addition to price and product quality, are an awareness of fashion trends and the ability to respond to buyer orders quickly and in quantity.

FENC now focuses on the designs and inventions of new raw materials for international sportswear brands and the newly emerging Chinese brands. It has provided sports shirts made of recycled materials to Nike for the 2010 World Cup. FENC has sub-contracted out part of the production processes such as dyeing and finishing to co-operative firms. This new business model should reduce the Company's capital expenditures and labor costs thus increasing the return on invested capital for the Company.

82

FENC has a larger share of the Taiwan underwear market through its Active and Paul Simon labels than the market share of its two principal competitors. FENC believes that its dress shirts, sold under the Manhattan label, have a slightly smaller share of the Taiwan dress shirt market than FENC's principal competitor. FENC believes that it also has the third largest market share in the Taiwan suit market through its Society Brand and Hart Schaffner Marx suits. In recent years, FENC has been expanding its presence in the corporate and military uniform segments which have traditionally been dominated by small-scale domestic producers. Furthermore, FENC plans to strengthen its sales efforts in the PRC by promoting high value-added products, such as fibers or fabrics for industrial purposes and high-end sports apparel, in order to boost overall market share across the PRC. FENC believes that it competes primarily on the basis of price, quality and product differentiation.

International Operations of FENC's Polyester, Textile and Apparel Businesses

In recent years, FENC has been developing production facilities outside Taiwan primarily through majority-owned companies. FENC has 100% interests in apparel manufacturing companies, such as Far Eastern Apparel (Vietnam) Ltd. in Vietnam and Far Eastern Apparel (Suzhou) in the PRC. In certain instances, FENC has relocated equipment from its production facilities in Taiwan to these international facilities. FENC also plans to build a PTA production facility in Shanghai, China, with the goal of raising the annual production capacity of PTA in the next five years as well as boosting its market share in the PRC.

Far EasTone

FENC, as of December 31, 2010, owns effectively 41.28% of Far EasTone, and the results of operations of Far EasTone are consolidated into FENC's consolidated financial statements. Far EasTone had approximately 6.32 million customers as of September 30, 2010. Far EasTone provides wireless communications, domestic long-distance land cable leased circuit services, Internet and international simple resale (ISR) services, tailor-made fixed and mobile integrated communications services, or enterprise solutions, for corporate users; Far EasTone also sells wireless devices and accessories associated with the services offered. Far EasTone owns two island-wide GSM 1800 licenses and a regional GSM 900 license covering the northern region of Taiwan, which includes Taipei. Far EasTone is also the owner of one of the five island-wide 3G licenses awarded by the ROC government in February 2002. This license gives Far EasTone the right to offer multimedia services across Taiwan using its 3G network. Far EasTone began offering 3G multimedia services in Taiwan in July 2005, targeting on the rising market of non-voice services.

Far EasTone offers a wide selection of handsets, ranging from voice-centric devices to high-end multimedia devices, to its post-paid and pre-paid customers. Its wireless communications service offerings include services and products for a broad spectrum of consumer segments, ranging from tailor-made solutions for corporate customers to lifestyle and entertainment-oriented services for individual customers. Far EasTone also partnered with leading phone makers and launched full ranges of smartphones and tablet devices to meet the strong demand for non-voice products as well as capture the rapid growth of non-voice services.

In 2009, Far EasTone became the first mobile company to launch WiMAX service in Taichung, central Taiwan, offering a wide range of services including wireless broadband movies and music, digital multimedia, digital advertising, and mobile Internet access with upgraded network performance featuring higher speed and enhanced transmission quality to customers. Far EasTone has also launched "S Mart" which is an independent Chinese language-based mobile application store offering fully localized experiences. "S Mart" provides applications to its subscribers so that they can download games, news, music and much more.

More recently in 2010, Far EasTone acquired through a subsidiary the remaining shares that it did not own of its fixed-line affiliate, New Century InfoComm Tech Co. ("NCIC"). Far EasTone already held a 26.74% stake in NCIC under the brand name Sparq before the acquisition, and it aims to improve the telecom service through better cooperation between its fixed-line and mobile units. Facing the trend of fixed-mobile-convergence of the telecommunication industry, Far EasTone has committed resources to the development of

83

value-added broadband services, digital products and multi-media integrated services, and has established an IMS platform to integrate mobile, wire and wireless services for consumers, enterprises and home users who enjoying communications, information, entertainment and business services.

Telecommunications Licenses

GSM 900/1800 Cellular Licenses

Far EasTone was awarded a GSM 1800 license and a GSM 900 license in January 1997. The GSM 1800 license permits Far EasTone to offer nationwide wireless services within the 2x11.25 MHz (or 2x13.25 MHz in the northern region) spectrum allocated at the 1800 MHz frequency band, including the ability to establish and maintain an island-wide network. The GSM 900 license permits Far EasTone to offer, in the northern region of Taiwan which includes Taipei, wireless services within the 2x5 MHz of spectrum allocated at the 900 MHz frequency band.

The GSM 1800 license and the GSM 900 license will expire in December 2012 and January 2013, respectively. Under the terms of these licenses, Far EasTone is required to satisfy certain roll-out requirements, all of which Far EasTone has achieved. The ROC government charges an annual license fee equal to 2% of total service revenue.

Far EasTone also acquired KG Telecom's GSM 1800 which was awarded in January 1997 to KG Telecom. The GSM 1800 license is similar to Far EasTone's GSM 1800 license and will expire in December 2012.

Far EasTone is currently offering services pursuant to both its and KG Telecom's licenses. Recently, the ROC government has agreed operators to renew its 2G licenses and use them until June 2017.

3G License

In early 2002, the ROC government sold by auction five 3G licenses, each of which permits the licensee to offer 3G services across Taiwan upon the satisfaction of certain roll-out requirements. Far EasTone was awarded one of the five 3G licenses. Far EasTone offers 3G services at the 2GHz frequency band within a spectrum of 2x15 MHz using Frequency Division Duplex data transmission technology and within a spectrum of 5MHz using Time Division Duplex data transmission technology.

Far EasTone paid an upfront cost for its 3G license to satisfy certain roll-out requirements. Far EasTone was required to complete the construction of a 3G network covering at least 50% of the population of Taiwan, which it did in 2005. Far EasTone offers its wireless services at higher transmission speed in this new spectrum through W-CDMA technology.

84

WiMAX

In 2009, Far EasTone became the first mobile company to launch the WiMAX service in Taichung, central Taiwan, offering a wide range of services, including wireless broadband movies and music, digital multimedia, digital advertising, and mobile Internet access with upgraded network performance of higher speed and enhanced transmission quality to customers.

Leased Circuit License

Far EasTone was licensed to provide local/domestic long-distance land cable leased circuit services for 15 years from January 2003 for an annual license fee equal to 1% of its leased circuit service revenue. KG Telecom was awarded a similar Type I license in September 2000. This license expires in September 2015.

Other Licenses

In December 1999, Far EasTone was awarded a Type II telecommunications license, which permits it to offer internet access service, intra-corporation communication service and electronic mail service. The ROC government charges an annual license fee of NT$90,000 except that, in the case of simple voice resale and internet telephony services, the license fee is charged at an amount equal to 0.5% of the revenue from such services.

In December 2001, Far EasTone was awarded a telecommunications resale business license, which permits it to offer telecommunications services that Far EasTone procures from another operator and to offer a range of data communications services that are built on the infrastructure of others, such as voice over Internet protocol. The ROC government charges an annual license fee equal to 0.5% of total service revenue from such services for this license.

Far EasTone Competition

The telecommunications market in Taiwan is highly competitive. Competition in the market is based principally on network quality and coverage, the range of services offered, tariff packages and customer service. There are three GSM operators; one PHS operator; five 3G operators; and 6 Wimax operators. Wireless market growth rates in Taiwan have slowed recently as customer penetration has increased and the industry has matured. In response to the declining growth in the market, wireless operators have increased handset subsidies and offered other voice plus data bundling packages to customers in an effort to retain market share and minimize customer churn rates. Far EasTone also aims to focus on the rising market of Smartphone and non-voice services by building alliances with mobile device providers to launch a variety of products and services.

Far EasTone Research and Development

The telecommunication industry is characterized by rapid technological advances, changes in customer requirements and frequent introductions of new products and enhancements. Far EasTone's research and development focus is to develop value-added services in anticipation of future customer demand.

Far EasTone conducts joint research programs with network equipment suppliers and academic institutions and sponsors research projects in academic institutions. In addition, Far EasTone established Far EasTone Laboratory in 1997 to focus on enhancing the quality of existing wireless transmission technology. Far EasTone participates in consortiums with domestic and international academic and research institutions, hosts conferences and regularly publishes its RD Lab Journal.

A substantial number of its employees have college or graduate degrees, and many members of its management had prior work experience in multi national corporations.

Far EasTone has not experienced any strikes or work stoppages. Far EasTone considers its relationship with its employees to be good.

Development of FENC's Idle Land Holdings in Taiwan

As of September 30, 2010, FENC had approximately 655,000 sq.m. of idle land and approximately 884,000 sq.m. of land used in FENC's manufacturing businesses in Taiwan. The substantial majority of FENC's idle land in Taiwan is located in Panchiao. FENC also owns idle land in Taipei City, Keelung, Yilan, Hualien, Taishan and Taoyuan. Any realisation of the value of its idle land through property development, securitization or through disposal or renting, will depend on the market conditions. In 2003, FENC established FERD, a company incorporated under ROC law, to actively manage its land bank of idle properties in Taiwan. FENC has started developing the land holdings in Yilan into a combination of a hotel resort and a shopping center.

Taipei Far Eastern Telecom Park

The Taipei Far Eastern Telecom Park has been under construction for two years. It is located in Panchiao, which is in the west of Taipei City, an area that has experienced rapid urban development due to governmental policy initiatives. Separated from Taipei City by the Danshui River, Panchiao is an alternative to Taipei City, offering relatively affordable housing prices to local residents. Panchiao has also benefited from the improved transportation system. The MRT's Far Eastern Memorial Hospital Station was completed in June 2006 and is located on FERD's Panchiao land. A High Speed Railway station, which has been in operation since early 2007, is also nearby.

Taipei Far Eastern Telecom Park is a specialized zone tailored for the telecommunications industry, integrated with residential and commercial areas and a medical service center. It will encompass a land area of approximately 245,000 sq.m. and the development will have a plot ratio of 300%.

The pre-sale of the first residential product and the pre-rent of the first commercial office building were both launched at the end of 2009. The pre-sale of the part of the first residential complex, named "California Dream," has already taken place and its construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2010. The construction for the second residential complex is scheduled to begin by the end of 2010.

FERD plans to offer several buildings, totaling a gross floor area of 330,000 sq.m., laid out as offices, laboratories and exhibition halls for telecommunications and network companies. By providing a convenient platform for the testing of telecom devices, networks and other

86

equipment, FERD plans to target telecommunications-related companies. FERD has completed the remodeling of an existing building in the third quarter of 2008. In addition, FERD completed the construction of a second building in 2009, and the said building is launched in the market for rent.

FERD has three pieces of land adjacent to the Taipei Far Eastern Telecom Park site. FERD plans to develop the land into residential housing units.

Environmental Protection Relating to the Development of FENC's Idle Land

As required by ROC laws and regulations, each project developed by a property developer is required to undergo an environmental assessment, and an environmental impact assessment report is required to be submitted to the relevant government authorities for approval before commencement of construction. When there is a material change with respect to the construction site, scale or nature of a given project, a new environmental impact assessment report must be submitted for approval. During the course of the construction, the property developer and the construction companies must take measures to prevent air pollution, noise emissions and water and waste discharge.

FERD believes that its property development operations are in compliance with currently applicable environmental and safety laws and regulations in all material respects.

Employees of FENC

As of December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2010, FENC (excluding Far EastTone) had approximately 4,445 and 4,544 employees, respectively.

Environmental Protection Relating to FENC

FENC believes it is in compliance with all material environmental regulations and enjoys good relationships with environmental groups who monitor the impact of FENC's production facilities on the environment.

Legal Proceedings Relating to FENC

FENC is not involved in any material litigation or legal proceedings which could be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business or operations.

Insurance Relating to FENC

FENC has fire and third party liabilities insurance which it considers to be adequate. The majority of FENC's insurance policies do not cover business interruption or damage as a result of earthquakes or typhoons. Significant damage to, or other interruption of production at, any of FENC's major production facilities, whether as a result of fire, flooding, earthquakes or other causes, would have a material adverse effect on FENC's results of operations.

Management

Directors and Supervisors

FENC's board of directors is responsible for the management of its business. FENC's articles of incorporation provide for a board comprising eleven directors. Currently, FENC's board of directors consists of eleven directors who are elected by FENC's shareholders at an ordinary shareholders' meeting by means of cumulative voting. The chairman of the board is elected by FENC's directors. FENC's directors serve three-year terms, and may be re-elected for any number of consecutive terms but can be removed from office at any time by a resolution adopted at a shareholders' meeting.

The ROC Company Law requires a public company to have at least two supervisors at all times, and a supervisor cannot concurrently serve as a director, managerial officer or other staff member. We currently have three supervisors. Supervisors are required under the ROC Company Law to perform supervisory and oversight functions that are independent of the authority of the board of directors of an ROC company. The main responsibilities of the supervisors are to supervise the business operations of the company and to examine and review the accounting books, records and other related documents of the company. Supervisors also have certain oversight duties with respect to the internal control systems of public companies. The supervisors' duties and powers include investigating FENC's business and financial condition, inspecting FENC's corporate records, attending meetings of the board of directors, verifying some statements by FENC's board of directors prior to the regular shareholders' meetings, calling shareholders' meetings when FENC's board of directors does not or cannot call such a meeting and/or when such meeting is necessary for FENC's benefit, representing shareholders in negotiations with FENC's directors. When necessary, supervisors have the authority to direct the board of directors to cease acting in violation of any applicable law or regulation or in contravention of FENC's articles of incorporation or the resolutions adopted at FENC's shareholders' meetings. In performing his or her duties, a supervisor may retain, on behalf of FENC and without the approval of the board of directors, practicing lawyers and/or certified public accountants to examine or audit the business operations, financial results, accounting books and financial statements of FENC.

FENC's supervisors are typically elected by shareholders at the time that directors are elected. Like directors, they also serve three-year terms and may be re-elected for any number of consecutive terms but can be removed from office at any time by a shareholders' resolution.

Pursuant to the amended ROC Securities and Exchange Law, a public company is required to have either an audit committee or supervisors, provided that the FSC may, after considering the scale, business nature and other essential conditions, require the company to establish an audit committee in place of its supervisors. A public company's audit committee should include every one of their independent directors but there cannot be less than three members, of which at least one member should have accounting or related financial management expertise. The relevant provisions under the ROC Securities and Exchange Law, the ROC Company Law and other laws applicable to the supervisors are also applicable to the audit committee. Currently, FENC does not have an audit committee.

A director or a supervisor serving as a representative of a legal entity may be removed or replaced at any time at the discretion of that legal entity, and the replacement director or supervisor may serve the remainder of the term in place of that director or supervisor.

The present members of the board of directors and supervisors took office on June 26, 2009 for a three-year term.

The following table sets forth certain specified information with respect to each director and supervisor of FENC as of April 24, 2010.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SHARE CAPITAL OF FENC

Set forth below is a summary of information relating to FENC's share capital, including brief summaries of the relevant provisions of FENC's articles of incorporation, the ROC Securities and Exchange Law and the ROC Company Law all as currently in effect.

General

FENC's authorized share capital is NT$49.5 billion divided into 4.95 billion shares, and the paid-in share capital was 4,754,579,959 common shares as of December 8, 2010. The paid-in share capital is issued and outstanding and is held by public shareholders and other investors in Taiwan and overseas. FENC does not have any equity in the form of preferred shares. Authorized but unissued shares may also be issued at such times and, subject to the provisions of the applicable laws and the approval of, or registration with, the MOEA and the FSC.

All shares presently issued are fully paid and in registered form, and existing shareholders are not subject to any capital calls. In addition, none of FENC's share capital is subject to any option to purchase.

Common Shares

As of December 8, 2010, FENC had 4,754,579,959 common shares at a par value of NT$10 per share issued and outstanding. Common shareholders may enjoy the right to attend and vote at the shareholders' meetings, the right to subscribe for new shares when FENC issues new shares for cash, and the right to receive distributions with respect to FENC's net income, less the prior years' losses, taxes, and any legal or special reserves in accordance with FENC's articles of incorporation. Common shareholders may also enjoy the right to receive the distribution of the residual assets when FENC goes into liquidation.

The rights of shareholders are set forth in the ROC Company Law and in general may not be changed by a company's articles of incorporation or shareholders' meetings. However, a company may issue preferred shares and holders of preferred shares may be entitled to different rights from common shareholders, subject to the company's articles of incorporation.

Dividends and Distributions

Dividend payments and distributions are generally governed by ROC Company Law and a company's articles of incorporation.

FENC is generally not permitted under the ROC Company Law to distribute dividends or to make any other distributions to shareholders unless it has current or retained earnings (excluding reserves) at the end of the relevant fiscal year. In addition, before distributing a dividend or making any other distributions, FENC must use the net income to pay all outstanding taxes, recover any past losses and set aside a legal reserve equal to 10% of its net income until the reserve reaches an amount equal to at least 100% of its paid-in capital, and set aside special reserves if required by laws and regulations.

The articles of incorporation of FENC provides that, after FENC pays all the income taxes, recovers any losses incurred in prior years and sets aside 10% of its net income as legal reserve and a special reserve in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, FENC may, subject to its business conditions, retain a portion of the remainder, together with the undistributed profits of previous year, and distribute the remaining balance in the following percentage:

  • 60% as shareholder dividends, to be distributed based on shareholdings. However, in the case of increase in the FENC's capital, unless otherwise stipulated by law, the shareholder dividends to be distributed to the shareholders of the increased shares for the year shall be decided by the shareholders' meeting;
  • 33% as shareholder bonuses, to be distributed based on shareholdings. However in the case of increase in the FENC's capital, the shareholder bonuses to be distributed to the shareholders of the increased shares for the year shall be decided by the shareholders' meeting;
  • 4% as employees' bonuses (where the bonuses are in the form of shares, the distribution shall be made in accordance with the rules adopted by the board of directors); and

  • 3% as remuneration for directors and supervisors, the distribution manner is to be decided by the board of directors.

All shares outstanding as of the relevant record date are entitled to any distribution of dividends approved by the shareholders. Dividends may be distributed to the shareholders in the form of cash, common shares, or a combination of the two, as proposed by the board of directors and determined at the general shareholders' meeting. According to FENC's articles of incorporation, unless there is any capital needs for improvement of financial structure, investments, expansion of capacity or other material capital expenditures, the cash dividends to be distributed in a year shall be in principle no less than 10% of the aggregate of shareholder dividends and shareholder bonuses to be distributed in that year.

Shareholders registered at FENC's register on the distribution record date are entitled to receive dividends or other distributions from FENC.

In addition to dividends paid out of net income of a company, the ROC Company Law also permits a company to make distributions to shareholders in the form of additional shares from reserves (including its legal reserve referred to above and certain other reserves). For information as to ROC taxes on cash and stock dividends, see "Taxation." However, the capitalized portion payable out of FENC's legal reserve is limited to 50% of the total accumulated legal reserve and the capitalization of the legal reserve can only be effected when the accumulated legal reserve exceeds 50% of FENC's paid-in capital.

Changes in Share Capital

Any change in the authorized share capital of a public company limited by shares, such as FENC, requires an amendment to its articles of incorporation, which requires approval at a shareholders' meeting, and the approval of the competent authority, such as, in FENC's case, MOEA.

Authorized but unissued shares may also be issued at such times and, subject to the provisions of the applicable laws, upon such terms as the board of directors may determine and, the approval of the FSC and the MOEA.

The following table sets forth changes in FENC's issued share capital for the previous three years.

August 2009Stock dividend91,3994,661,353
August 2010Stock dividend93,2274,754,580

New Shares and Preemptive Rights

Under the ROC Company Law, when a company issues new shares for cash, 10% to 15% of the issue must be offered to its employees. In addition, the ROC Securities and Exchange Law and relevant securities regulations require that, if a public company, such as a company listed on the TWSE, or whose shares are traded on the GreTai Securities Market, intends to offer new shares for cash, at least 10% of the issue must be offered to the public, except under certain circumstances or when exempted by the FSC. This percentage can be increased by a resolution passed at a shareholders' meeting, thereby reducing the number of new shares subject to the preemptive rights of existing shareholders. Unless the percentage of shares to be offered to the public is increased by the shareholders, existing shareholders who are listed on the shareholders' register as of the record date have a preemptive right to acquire the remaining 75% to 80% of the issue. The shares not subscribed for by the employees and shareholders at the expiration of the period for the exercise of their rights may be sold to the public or specified persons at the direction of the board of directors. The preemptive rights provision will not apply to an offering of new shares by a public company through a private placement approved at a shareholders' meeting.

Meetings of Shareholders

Meetings of shareholders may be ordinary or extraordinary. Ordinary meetings of shareholders will generally be held in Taipei, Taiwan, within six months following the end of each of FENC's fiscal year. FENC's fiscal year commences from January 1 and ends on December 31.

In contrast, extraordinary shareholders' meetings may be convened by resolution of the board of directors or by the board of directors upon the written request of any shareholder who holds 3% or more of the outstanding shares for more than one year. Shareholders' meetings may also be convened by a supervisor or by the shareholders, subject to the ROC Company Law.

Notice in writing of meetings of shareholders, stating the place, time, date and agenda, must be dispatched to each shareholder at least 30 days, in the case of ordinary shareholders' meetings, and 15 days, in the case of extraordinary shareholders' meetings, before the date set for each meeting.

The ROC Company Law allows shareholders holding more than 1% or more of the total issued shares of a company to submit, during the period of time prescribed by the company, one proposal in writing for discussion at the ordinary meeting of the shareholders.

Voting Rights

A holder of common shares has one vote for each common share. There is cumulative voting for the election of directors and supervisors. Ballots for the election of directors are cast separately from those for the election of supervisors.

Except as otherwise provided by the applicable laws, a resolution can be adopted by the holders of at least a majority of the common shares represented at a shareholders' meeting at which the holders of a majority of all issued and outstanding common shares are present.

In order for certain major corporate actions to be approved, including:

  • any amendment to the articles of incorporation;
  • entering into, modification or termination of any contracts regarding leasing of FENC's business, or mandate of operations or joint operations;
  • the removal of any director or supervisor from his or her position;
  • corporate spin-off, merger or share swap;
  • dissolution or amalgamation;
  • the transfer of the whole or an important part of FENC's business or properties;
  • the taking over of the whole business or property of any other company that would have a significant impact on FENC; and
  • the distribution of any share dividend,

a meeting of the shareholders must be convened with a quorum of holders of at least two-thirds of all issued and outstanding common shares at which the holders of at least a majority of the common shares represented at the meeting vote in favor of the resolution.

Alternatively, in the case of a public company, such as FENC, such a resolution may be adopted by the holders of at least two-thirds of the common shares represented at a meeting of shareholders at which holders of at least a majority of issued and outstanding common shares are present.

A shareholder may be represented at an ordinary or extraordinary shareholders' meeting by proxy if a valid proxy form is delivered to it five days before the ordinary or extraordinary shareholders' meeting. Voting rights attached to FENC's common shares exercised by its shareholders' proxy are subject to the proxy regulation promulgated by the FSC. Except for trust enterprises or share registrars approved by the ROC Securities & Futures Bureau, where one person is appointed as proxy by two or more shareholders who together hold more than 3% of FENC's total issued shares, the proxy shall be treated as if it owned only 3% of FENC's issued shares.

Register of Shareholders and Record Dates

FENC only recognizes persons registered in its company register as its shareholders.

FENC's share registrar maintains the register of FENC's shareholders at its offices located at Taipei, Taiwan, and enters transfers of shares in such register upon presentation of, among other documents, certificates representing the shares transferred other than those transferred through book-entry system.

FENC may, by giving advance public notice, set a record date and close the register of shareholders for a specified period in order for it to determine the shareholders that are entitled to rights pertaining to the shares. The relevant periods are:

  • 60 days prior to each ordinary shareholders' meeting;
  • 30 days prior to each extraordinary shareholders' meeting; and
  • 5 days prior to a record date for a distribution of shares or other distribution.

Annual Financial Statements

At least ten days before the annual ordinary shareholders' meeting, FENC's annual financial statements will be made available at FENC's principal office in Taipei, Taiwan and at FENC's share registrar for inspection by the shareholders. According to the regulations of the FSC, FENC is required to publish its annual, semi-annual and quarterly financial statements on a consolidated basis from January 1, 2008.

Transfer of Common Shares

The transfer of common shares in registered form is effected by endorsement and delivery of the related share certificates. However, in order to assert shareholders' rights against FENC, the transferee must have its name and address registered on the register of shareholders. Shareholders are required to file their respective specimen seals, also known as chops, with FENC. The settlement of trading of the common share is normally carried out on the book-entry system maintained by Taiwan Depositary & Clearing Corporation.

Repurchase of Common Shares by FENC

With minor exceptions, FENC cannot acquire its own common shares under the ROC Company Law.

Under the ROC Securities and Exchange Law, FENC may, in accordance with the FSC procedures and a resolution adopted by a majority of the board of directors at a meeting where more than two-thirds of the directors are present, purchase its common shares:

  • for delivery upon conversion of bonds with warrants, preferred shares with warrants, convertible bonds, convertible preferred shares and warrants issued by FENC into capital stock;
  • to transfer to its employees; or
  • if necessary, to maintain its credit and its shareholders' equity, provided that the common shares so purchased shall be cancelled thereafter.

The total common shares purchased by FENC may not exceed 10% of its total issued common shares. In addition, the total cost of the purchased common shares may not exceed the aggregate amount of FENC's retained earnings, any premium from share issuance and the realized portion of its capital reserve. Common shares repurchased in the first two instances are to be transferred to the intended transferee within three years from the repurchase, failing which they will be cancelled. FENC is required to complete and file an amended registration with the MOEA in the event of cancellation. In the third instance, the common shares purchased by FENC must be cancelled within six months after the purchase. The common shares purchased by FENC may not be pledged or hypothecated. In addition, FENC may not exercise any of the shareholders' rights attached to these repurchased common shares. FENC's affiliates, as defined in Article 369-1 of the ROC Company Law, directors, supervisors, managers and their respective spouses and minor children and nominees are prohibited from selling such common shares until FENC's repurchase period has lapsed.

In the event of liquidation of FENC, the assets remaining after payment of all debts, liquidation expenses and taxes and distributions to holders of preferred shares (if any) will be distributed pro rata to the holders of common shares in accordance with the relevant provisions of applicable laws and the articles of incorporation.

Transfer Restrictions

Under the ROC Securities and Exchange Law:

  • each director, supervisor, manager, as well as their respective spouses, minor children and nominees, and any shareholder who, together with his or her spouse, minor children or nominees, holds more than 10% of the common shares of a public company (i.e., a major shareholder), must report, on a monthly basis, any change in that person's shareholding to the issuer of the common shares (i.e., FENC); and
  • each director, supervisor, manager or major shareholder holding such common shares for more than a six-month period may transfer any common shares listed on the TWSE or traded on the Gre Tai Securities Market and should report to the FSC his or her intent to transfer such common shares at least three days before the intended transfer, unless the number of common shares to be transferred is less than 10,000 common shares.

Rights to Bring Shareholders' Suits

Under the ROC Company Law, a shareholder may bring suit against FENC in the following events:

  • Within 30 days from the date on which a shareholders' resolution is adopted, a shareholder may file a lawsuit to annul a shareholders' resolution if the procedure for convening a shareholders' meeting or the method of resolution violates any law or regulation or the articles of incorporation. However, if the court is of the opinion that such violation is not material and does not affect the result of the resolution, the court may reject the shareholder's claim.
  • If the substance of a resolution adopted at a shareholders' meeting contradicts any applicable law or regulation or the articles of incorporation, a shareholder may bring a suit to determine the validity of such resolution.

Shareholders may bring suit against FENC's directors and supervisors under the following circumstances:

  • Shareholders who have continuously held 3% or more of FENC's total issued common shares for a period of one year or longer may request in writing that a supervisor institute an action against a director on FENC's behalf. In case the supervisor fails to institute an action within 30 days after receiving such request, the shareholders may institute an action on FENC's behalf. In the event shareholders institute an action, a court may, upon application of the defendant, order such shareholders to furnish appropriate security.
  • Shareholders who hold 3% or more of FENC's total issued common shares may institute an action with a court to remove a director who has materially violated the applicable laws or the articles of incorporation or has materially damaged FENC's interests if a resolution for removal on such grounds has first been voted on and rejected by the shareholders and such suit is filed within 30 days of such shareholders' vote.

  • In the event that any director, supervisor, manager or major shareholder or any respective spouses or minor children and/or nominees of any of them sells FENC's common shares within six months after acquisition of such common shares, or repurchases the common shares within six months after the sale, FENC may claim for recovery any profits realized from the sale and purchase. If the board of directors or supervisors fail to claim for recovery, any shareholder may request the board of directors or supervisors to exercise the right of claim within 30 days. After such 30-day period, such requesting shareholder shall have the right to claim such recovery on FENC's behalf. FENC's directors and supervisors shall be jointly and severally liable for damages suffered by FENC as a result of their failure to exercise the right of claim.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BONDS

The following is a description of the terms and conditions (the "Conditions") of the Bonds (subject to amendment and except for the sentences in italics), which includes summaries of, and are subject to, the more detailed provisions of the Indenture referred to below.

The issue of US$375,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Zero Coupon Exchangeable Bonds Due 2016 (the "Bonds"), to the extent permitted by the laws of the ROC, of Asia Cement Corporation (the "Company," "us" or "we") was authorized by a resolution of the Company's board of directors adopted on November 2, 2010. The Bonds will be issued on or about January 27, 2011 (the "Issue Date") pursuant to an indenture (the "Indenture") to be dated the Issue Date between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, acting through its London Branch, as trustee (the "Trustee," which term shall include all persons for the time being appointed as trustee under the Indenture) for the holders of the Bonds. The Company will also enter into an agency agreement (the "Agency Agreement") to be dated the Issue Date among the Trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon (Luxembourg) S.A., as the registrar (the "Registrar"), The Bank of New York Mellon, acting through its London Branch, as principal paying agent, exchange agent and transfer agent (the "Principal Paying Agent," "Exchange Agent" and "Transfer Agent" together with the Registrar, the "Agents" and each an "Agent").

Capitalized terms not defined herein will have the meanings given to them in the Indenture.

Copies of the Indenture and the Agency Agreement are available for inspection during normal business hours by prior arrangement at the specified office of the Trustee and at the specified offices of the Principal Paying Agent. The holders of the Bonds are entitled to the benefit of the Indenture and are bound by, and are deemed to have notice of, all of the provisions of the Indenture and the Agency Agreement.

1. Status

The Bonds constitute direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and, subject to the provisions of Condition 3, unsecured obligations of the Company and shall at all times rank pari passu and without any preference or priority among themselves and, subject to the provisions of Condition 3, with all other present and future direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the Company, except as may be required by mandatory provisions of law.

2. Form, Denomination and Title

(A) Form and denomination

The Bonds shall be issued in registered form, without coupons, and shall be offered, sold and transferred in denominations of US$200,000 and integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof. The Bonds shall initially be represented by a global certificate (the "Global Certificate"), and only under the limited circumstances described in the Global Certificate and the Indenture shall definitive bond certificates (each a "Definitive Certificate") be issued to holders of the Bonds in respect of their individual holdings. Each Definitive Certificate, if issued, shall be serially numbered and shall have an identifying number which shall be recorded on the relevant certificate and in the register of holders of the Bonds, which the Company shall procure to be kept by the Registrar.

The Bonds shall be represented by the Global Certificate and deposited with, and registered in the name of, a nominee of a common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream. The Global Certificate shall contain or incorporate by reference these Conditions. Except in the limited circumstances described in the Global Certificate, owners of interests in the Bonds represented by the Global Certificate will not be entitled to receive Definitive Certificates in respect of their individual holdings of the Bonds. The Bonds are not issuable in bearer form.

(B) Title

The Bonds shall be registered instruments, and title to the Bonds shall pass by transfer and registration of title in the register of holders of the Bonds. The holder of any Bond shall, except as otherwise required by law, be treated as its absolute owner for all purposes (whether or not it is overdue and regardless of any notice of ownership, trust or any interest in it or any writing on, or the theft or loss of, the Definitive Certificate issued in respect of it), and no person shall be liable for so treating the holder. In these Conditions, "holder of the Bonds" shall mean the person in whose name a Bond is registered in the register of holders of the Bonds.

(C) Further issues

The Company may from time to time without the consent of the holders of the Bonds, to the extent permitted under the laws of the ROC, create and issue further securities having the same terms and conditions as the Bonds in all respects (except for the issue date, issue price and to the extent necessary, certain temporary securities law transfer restrictions) so that such further issues shall be consolidated and form a single series with the outstanding Bonds.

(i) the Company has notified the holders of the Bonds of such event in accordance with Condition 14;

(ii) the Company and such corporation, entity or person (“successor”) have executed an indenture supplemental to the Indenture, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, and the supplemental indenture includes the following: (a) the express assumption by such corporation, entity or person of the Company’s obligations under the Bonds, the Indenture and the Agency Agreement, including the covenants contained in this Condition 3(B) relating to subsequent mergers, amalgamations, consolidations, sales or transfers; (b) provisions for the exchangeability of each Bond then outstanding into the class and amount of Reference Shares and other securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale or transfer by a holder of the number of Reference Shares into which such Bonds would have been exchangeable immediately prior to such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale or transfer (assuming for such purpose that the Bonds were exchangeable at the time of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale or transfer) at the Exchange Price (as defined in Condition 5(A) below) as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the Indenture; and (c) provisions for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in the provisions of Condition 5(C); and

(C) Preserving the right to exchange into Reference Shares

So long as any of the Bonds remain outstanding (as defined in the Indenture), we will, upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that is reasonably likely to lead to an Event of Default or an event of default under any outstanding International Investment Securities, take all necessary steps to (i) preserve, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the holders of the Bonds’ right to exchange any or all of the principal amount of Bonds held by holders of the Bonds into Reference Shares (as deposited with the Taiwan Depositary & Clearing Corporation pursuant to Condition 5(A)(vi)) or Exchange Property (as defined in Condition 5(A) below), as applicable, and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, prevent claims of any other creditors upon the Reference Shares from ranking equal or senior to those of the holders of the Bonds.

4. Transfers of Bonds; Issue of Certificates

(A) Transfers

The forms of transfer are available at the specified offices of any Transfer Agent during normal business hours. Transfers of interests in the Bonds evidenced by the Global Certificate shall be effected in accordance with the rules of the relevant clearing systems.

Where some but not all the Bonds in respect of which a Definitive Certificate is issued are to be transferred, exchanged or redeemed, a new Definitive Certificate in respect of the Bonds not so transferred, exchanged or redeemed shall, within seven Business Days of deposit or surrender of the original certificate with or to the relevant Agent, be mailed by uninsured mail at the Company's expense and at the risk of the holder of the Bonds not so transferred, exchanged or redeemed to the address of such holder appearing on the register of holders of the Bonds.

(C) Formalities free of charge

  1. Exchange

Within five ROC Business Days (as defined below) from each Exchange Date (as defined in Condition 5(B)(i)), we will deliver or procure the delivery of the Reference Shares (as defined below) or the Exchange Property (as defined below), as applicable, to the exchanging holder or its designee, subject to applicable law and the provisions of the Indenture relating to the exchange. We currently own 1,060,713,631 Reference Shares that will be available for transfer and delivery to the holders of the Bonds.

(A) Exchange Right

(i) Exchange Period. Each holder of the Bonds has the right hereunder to exchange any or all of the principal amount of Bonds held by such holder into Reference Shares or Exchange Property, as applicable (the "Exchange Right"). Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Condition 5, the Exchange Right attaching to any Bond may be exercised, at the option of the holder of the Bonds and to the extent provided herein, at any time (i) on or after March 9, 2011 and prior to the close of business (at the place where such Bond is deposited for exchange) on December 28, 2015 (or if such day shall not be a Business Day at such place, on the immediately preceding Business Day at such place) (but in no event thereafter) or (ii) if such Bond shall have been called for redemption on a redemption date on or prior to January 27, 2016 (or if such day shall not be a Business Day at the place where such Bond is deposited for exchange, on the immediately preceding Business Day at such place), then up to the close of business (at the place aforesaid) on the fifth day prior to the date fixed for redemption thereof (or if such day shall not be a Business Day at such place, on the immediately preceding Business

104

Day at such place) (the "Exchange Period"); provided, however, that the Exchange Right during any Closed Period (as defined below) shall be suspended and the Exchange Period shall not include any such Closed Period. Holders of the Bonds shall be given not less than 10 and not more than 60 days' notice in accordance with Condition 14 of the commencement of any Closed Period.

For the purposes of these Conditions:

"Closed Period" means (i) the 60-day period prior to the date of any general shareholders' meetings of FENC (as defined below) or an issuer of Exchange Property Securities organized in the ROC; (ii) the 30-day period prior to the date of any special shareholders' meetings of FENC or any such issuer of Exchange Property Securities; (iii) the period beginning from the fifteenth ROC Business Day (as defined below) prior to the five-calendar day period preceding the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to the receipt of dividends, subscription of new Reference Shares (as defined below) or equity shares of any such issuer of Exchange Property Securities due to capital increase or other benefits and bonuses to such record date; (iv) the period from the record date for the determination of the shareholders participating in any capital reduction of FENC or an issuer of Exchange Property Securities to the first Trading Day (as defined below) immediately prior to the date on which Reference Shares or the relevant Exchange Property Security resume trading after such capital reduction; and (v) such other periods during which FENC or any such issuer of Exchange Property Securities may be required to close its stock transfer books under ROC laws and regulations applicable from time to time.

"Exchange Property Securities" means any securities (including, without limitation, any options, warrants, rights or evidences of indebtedness) of the one or more series constituting the Exchange Property (as defined below) from time to time.

"FENC" means Far Eastern New Century Corporation.

"Offer" means an offer to acquire Exchange Property Securities of any series, whether expressed as a legal offer, an invitation to tender or in any other way, in circumstances where such offer is available to all holders of the applicable Exchange Property Securities or all such holders other than any holder who is, or is connected with, or is deemed to be acting in concert with, the person making such offer (or is excluded from the offer by reason of being connected with one or more specific jurisdictions).

"Reference Shares" shall mean (a) fully-paid and non-assessable shares of the capital stock of FENC, which at the Issue Date are designated as common capital stock of FENC, par value NT$10 per share, together with shares of any class or classes resulting from any subdivision, consolidation or reclassification of those shares, and (b) fully-paid and non-assessable shares of any class or classes of the capital stock of FENC authorized after the date of the Indenture, which in either case, as between themselves, have no preference in respect of dividends or amounts payable in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation or winding-up of FENC.

"ROC Business Day" means a day on which commercial banks are open for business in Taipei, ROC.

"Scheme" means a scheme of arrangement, merger, amalgamation, reorganization, reconstruction, demerger, compromise, liquidation, dissolution, or similar matter (whether or not involving liquidation or dissolution).

"Trading Day" means a day when the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation is open for business.

Under current ROC law, regulation and policy, a PRC person is not permitted to hold or exchange the Bonds or to register as a shareholder of FENC or any other entity incorporated in the ROC unless it is a qualified domestic institutional investor ("QDII"). However, QDIIs are currently prohibited from investing in certain industries, and their investment in a given company of certain other industries is restricted to a certain percentage pursuant to a list promulgated by the FSC and amended from time to time. In addition, there are restrictions on the amount remitted to Taiwan for investments by QDIIs, separately and jointly. Accordingly, the qualification criteria for a PRC person to make investment, the restrictions on investment in certain industries and the investment cap imposed by the FSC might cause a holder of the Bonds who is a PRC person to be unable to exchange and hold the Reference Shares delivered upon exchange of the Bonds. Under current ROC law, "PRC person" means an individual holding a passport issued by the PRC; a resident of any area of the PRC under the effective control or jurisdiction of the PRC

^{}[] 105

(but not including a special administrative region of the PRC such as Hong Kong or Macau, if so excluded by applicable laws of the ROC); and save as aforesaid, any agency or instrumentality of the PRC; and any corporation, partnership or other entity organized under the laws of any such area or controlled by or, directly or indirectly, having more than 30% of its capital owned by or beneficially owned by any such person, resident, agency or instrumentality.

Under current ROC law, a non-ROC exchanging holder of the Bonds, before exercising its exchange right to exchange the Bonds, is required to register with the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation and to appoint a local agent in the ROC with such qualifications as are set by the FSC. The local agent has the power to take the following actions on behalf of and as agent for the exchanging holder: open a securities trading account with a local brokerage firm and a NT Dollar bank account, pay ROC withholding taxes, remit funds, exercise shareholders' rights and perform such other matters as may be designated by the exchanging holder. In addition, such non-ROC exchanging holder must also appoint a custodian bank to hold the securities and any cash proceeds for safekeeping, confirm and settle trades and report all relevant information. Furthermore, the exchanging holder is required to appoint a tax guarantor for filing tax returns and making tax payments. Without meeting these requirements, the exchanging holder would not be able to receive, hold, sell or otherwise transfer the Reference Shares into which the Bonds may have been exchanged on the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation or otherwise. Neither the Trustee nor the Agents shall have any duty as to whether the exchanging holder has appointed a local agent or a tax guarantor.

(ii) Number of Reference Shares Deliverable on Exchange. Assuming that a Change of Control of FENC has not occurred, the number of Reference Shares deliverable upon exchange of any Bond shall be determined by dividing the principal amount of the Bond (translated into NT dollars at a fixed exchange rate of NT$29.0320 = US$1.00, the "Fixed Exchange Rate") by the Exchange Price (as defined in Condition 5(A)(iii)) in effect on the Exchange Date (as defined in Condition 5(B)(i)). If more than one Bond shall be deposited for exchange at any one time by the same holder of the Bonds, the number of Reference Shares to be delivered upon exchange thereof shall be calculated on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds so deposited. Fractions of Reference Shares shall not be delivered on exchange, and cash adjustments shall be made in respect thereof by the Company net of remittance fee, rounding to one dollar with 0.5 being rounded upwards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a consolidation or reclassification of Reference Shares by operation of law or otherwise that occurs after the date of the original issuance of the Bonds, the Company shall upon exchange of the Bonds pay in US dollars a sum equal to such portion of the principal amount of the Bonds deposited for exchange as corresponds to any fraction of a Reference Share not delivered as aforesaid if such sum exceeds US$10. For the purpose of calculating the amount of such payment, the Company shall use the Fixed Exchange Rate. Any such sum shall be paid not later than 14 Business Days after the Exchange Date (as defined in Condition 5(B)(i)) by transfer to a US dollar account with a bank in New York City specified in the Exchange Notice (as defined in Condition 5(B)(i)).

(iii) Initial Exchange Price. The price at which Reference Shares shall be delivered upon exchange (the "Exchange Price") shall initially be NT$63.51 per Reference Share, but shall be subject to adjustment in the manner provided in Condition 5(C).

(iv) Revival on Default. Notwithstanding the provisions of Condition 5(A)(i), if an Event of Default (as defined in Condition 9) occurs, the Exchange Right attaching to a Bond shall continue to be exercisable up to and including the close of business at the place where the relevant Exchange Notice (as defined in Condition 5(B)(i)) is deposited for exchange on the date upon which the full amount of the monies payable in respect of such Bond has been duly received by the Trustee or the Principal Paying Agent and notice of such receipt has been duly given to the holders of the Bonds.

(v) Delivery of the Exchange Property Following a Change of Control of FENC. Following the effective date of a Change of Control of FENC, the Exchange Right attaching to each Bond shall entitle the holder of such Bond only to the Exchange Property (the "Exchange Property"). The Exchange Property shall consist solely of either (i) Reference Shares, if FENC is the surviving entity, or (ii) such securities or assets (including cash) as are receivable by the Company as the holder of the Reference Shares in connection with such Change of Control of FENC, if FENC is not the surviving entity. On the exercise of Exchange Rights following a

106

Change of Control of FENC, holders of the Bonds shall be entitled to the delivery or transfer to, or to the order of, each relevant holder of the Bonds of a pro rata share of the Exchange Property per US$200,000 principal amount of Bonds outstanding as of the Exchange Date and at the Exchange Price in effect at the time of the Change of Control of FENC.

(a) To the extent that (1) any Exchange Property Securities are subject to subdivision, consolidation or reclassification, (2) any warrants, options or rights are issued with respect to Exchange Property Securities, or (3) any Exchange Property Securities are subject to bonus or dividend issues of securities, FENC Capital Distributions or Schemes, such assets shall be included in the Exchange Property as set forth in the Indenture.

(b) The Company shall monitor all corporate actions by the issuers of securities constituting Exchange Property, including, but not limited to, the declaration and distribution of dividends, interest, rights issues, bonus issues, capital distributions, reorganizations, subdivisions, consolidations, reclassifications, and Offers and Schemes. The Company shall give notice to the Trustee and the Calculation Agent (as defined below), containing details of any change in composition of the Exchange Property as soon as reasonably practicable following such change. Notice of any such change will be provided to the holders of the Bonds as soon as practicable.

(c) The Company hereby agrees that, following a Change of Control of FENC and for so long as any of the Bonds remain outstanding, there will at all times be a calculation agent (the "Calculation Agent"), which shall be an investment bank of international repute, appointed by the Company and at the Company's expense to check the Company's calculation of, among other things, the pro rata share of the Exchange Property with respect to each US$200,000 in principal amount of the Bonds to be delivered to an exchanging holder of the Bonds. The Calculation Agent is not obliged to check any such calculation unless, and until, the Company provides to the Calculation Agent such calculation. The Calculation Agent shall from time to time, or when requested, notify the Trustee and the Exchange Agent of such calculation. The Trustee and the Agents (other than the Calculation Agent) are not obliged to check any such calculation and shall not be responsible or liable to any person for any failure to do so.

For the purpose of these Conditions:

"Change of Control of FENC" means any of the following events with respect to FENC:

(a) any Person or related Persons, other than the Company together with its Affiliates, becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power of FENC, provided, however, that, following such event, the Company together with its Affiliates, do not have the right or ability by voting power, contract, or otherwise to control FENC; or

(b) the merger or consolidation of FENC with or into another Person or the merger of another Person with or into FENC, or the sale of all or substantially all the assets of FENC to another Person (other than a Person that is controlled by the Company together with its Affiliates), and, in the case of any such merger or consolidation, the securities of FENC that are outstanding immediately prior to such transaction and which represent 100% of the aggregate voting power of FENC are changed into or exchanged for cash, securities or property, provided, however, that, following such event, the Company together with its Affiliates, do not have the right or ability by voting power, contract, or otherwise, to control FENC.

"Affiliate" of any specified person means any other person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by, or under direct or indirect common control with, such specified person.

(vi) Share Deposit. We will agree to deposit the Reference Shares with the Taiwan Depositary & Clearing Corporation within thirty (30) days after the Issue Date. We will further agree not to transfer, pledge or deliver the Reference Shares to any third party except for the purpose of delivering the Reference Shares to exchanging holders of the Bonds or except as may otherwise be required by law or legal proceedings or in the event of a Change of Control of FENC. Under ROC law, this is not an escrow arrangement nor does it create a charge in favor of the holders of the Bonds. In addition, the Reference Shares remain an asset of ours subject to third party claims.

Once deposited, the Exchange Notice may not be withdrawn without the Company's consent in writing.

As conditions precedent to the exercise of the Exchange Right attaching to any Bond, together with the delivery of the Exchange Notice, the Definitive Certificate, if issued, and any certificates or other documents as may be required, the holder of the Bond must pay all stamp, issue, registration and similar taxes and duties directly to the relevant authorities, if any, arising on exchange in the country in which the Bond is deposited for exchange or payable in any jurisdiction upon delivery of Reference Shares or Exchange Property, as applicable, or any other property or cash upon exchange to or to the order of the exchanging holder of the Bond or any other person. Except as aforesaid, the Company shall pay the expenses arising in the ROC on the delivery of Reference Shares or Exchange Property, as applicable, upon exchange of the Bond and all charges and expenses of the Exchange Agents in

connection therewith. The holder of the Bond must provide the Exchange Agent with confirmation of (as provided in the Exchange Notice) payment to the relevant tax authorities in settlement of taxes payable pursuant to this Condition 5(B)(ii) at or before the time of deposit of the Exchange Notice.

Neither the Trustee nor any of the Agents is under any obligation to determine whether a holder of the Bonds is liable to pay any taxes including stamp, issue, registration or similar taxes or duties or the amounts payable (if any) in connection with this Condition 5(B)(ii) and shall not be liable for any failure by any holder or the Company to make any such payment to the relevant authorities or determine the sufficiency or insufficiency of any amount so paid.

(iii) Transfer of Beneficial Ownership in Reference Shares or Exchange Property Securities. As soon as practicable after the Exchange Date but no later than the opening of business in the ROC on the Exchange Delivery Date, the Company will use its best efforts to cause FENC, or any issuer of Exchange Property Securities, as applicable, to deem the exchanging holder of a Bond as indicated in the Exchange Notice to be the beneficial owner of the number of Reference Shares, or the relevant Exchange Property, as applicable, to be delivered upon such exchange, disregarding any retroactive adjustment of the Exchange Price referred to below prior to the time such retroactive adjustment shall have become effective. At such time, subject to Condition 5(B)(iv), the rights of such exchanging holder with respect to the Bond deposited for exchange shall cease, except rights arising under Condition 5(B)(v).

(iv) Delivery of Reference Shares, Exchange Property or Cash Equivalent. As soon as practicable after the Exchange Date, the Company will use its best efforts to ensure that FENC or the issuer of Exchange Property Securities, as applicable, registers the exchanging holder of Bonds or such exchanging holder's designee in the shareholders' register of FENC or such other issuer as the owner of the number of Reference Shares to be delivered pursuant to Condition 5(A)(ii), or Exchange Property Securities to be delivered pursuant to Condition 5(A)(v), upon exchange of such Bond; provided that such registration shall be completed no later than five ROC Business Days from the Exchange Date. Subject to any applicable limitations then imposed by ROC laws and regulations, the Company shall deliver in accordance with the Indenture and the request made in the relevant Exchange Notice as soon as practicable, and in any event within five ROC Business Days (subject to applicable law) from the Exchange Date, for the benefit of the exchanging holder, the following:

(a) the relevant Reference Shares or Exchange Property Securities, through book-entry transfer to an account registered in the name of the exchanging holder or its designee at Taiwan Depository & Clearing Corporation;

(b) any other property or cash (including, without limitation, the Cash Equivalent (as defined below) and any cash payable pursuant to Condition 5(A)(ii)) required to be delivered upon exchange; and

(c) such documents as may be required by law to effect the delivery thereof.

"Cash Equivalent" means, if, for any reason, the Company does not have sufficient Reference Shares or Exchange Property Securities to satisfy the exchange of any Bond, then, on or before the fifth ROC Business Day after the relevant Exchange Date, the Company will pay to the exchanging holder of the Bonds an amount in US dollars equal to the product of (x) the volume-weighted average closing price of the Reference Shares or the Exchange Property Securities on the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation or other applicable exchange for the five consecutive Trading Days starting from the applicable Exchange Date (or such fewer number of Trading Days as available prior to the fifth ROC Business Day after the applicable Exchange Date) converted to US dollars at the Prevailing Rate (as defined below) and (y) the number of Reference Shares or Exchange Property Securities that the Company is unable to deliver.

"Prevailing Rate" for any Trading Day means the last available buying rate for the purchase of US dollars against the sale of NT dollars quoted by Taipei Forex Inc. (or a replacement agency of equivalent standing selected and appointed by the Company, at its own cost) on such Trading Day or, if no buying rate is quoted on such Trading Day, the last available buying rate quoted on the immediately preceding Trading Day.

^{}[] 109

If the exchanging holder of the Bonds or its designee does not have an account at the Taiwan Depository & Clearing Corporation, the relevant Reference Shares or Exchange Property Securities, as the case may be, shall only be delivered after such an account has been opened by such exchanging holder of the Bonds or its designee.

Neither the Trustee nor the Agents shall be responsible or liable for making such payment on behalf of the Company, for determining the amount of the Cash Equivalent payable, for monitoring the due date for such payment or for any failure by the Company to make such payment.

The Company has certain disclosure obligations and reporting obligations under ROC law and regulations if:

(A) the person to be registered as a shareholder is a "related party" of the Company or FENC under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 6 of the ROC and such person beneficially owns Reference Shares exchanged from the Bonds, or

(B) the person to be registered as a holder of Reference Shares owns Reference Shares received on exchange of his Bonds, and the Reference Shares exchanged exceed 10% of the total number of Reference Shares expected to be exchanged based on the exchange price at the time of issue of the Bonds.

(C) These obligations may also apply to issuers of Exchange Property Securities. Due to these obligations, the Indenture provides that we may ask exchanging holders of the Bonds to disclose the name of the person to be registered as the shareholder of FENC or the issuer of the Exchange Property Securities and to provide proof of identity and genuineness of any signature and other documents before it exchanges the Bonds. The exchange of the Bonds may be delayed until we receive the required information and evidence of compliance with relevant laws and regulations by the exchanging holder of the Bonds. The information that an exchanging holder of the Bonds is required to provide includes the name and nationality of the person to be registered as shareholder and the total number of Reference Shares, or Exchange Property Securities, as applicable, such person has or will receive as a result of the exchange of the Bonds it holds.

(D) In the event the exchange of a Bond shall result in a payment to the exchanging holder as provided above, the Company shall deliver a notice setting forth the above details to the address of the exchanging holder appearing on the register of holders of the Bonds.

(v) Retroactive Adjustment of Exchange Price. If (a) the Exchange Date in relation to any Bond shall be on or after a date on which an adjustment to the Exchange Price takes retroactive effect pursuant to any of the provisions referred to in Condition 5(C) and the Indenture and (b) the relevant Exchange Date falls on a date when the relevant adjustment has not been reflected in the Exchange Price, the Company shall, within 20 days after the date of such adjustment of the Exchange Price, deliver to the local agent appointed by the exchanging holder of the Bond such number of Reference Shares as is equal to the excess of (1) the number of Reference Shares that would have been required to be delivered on exchange of such Bond if the relevant retroactive adjustment had been made as of the said Exchange Date over (2) the number of Reference Shares previously delivered pursuant to such exchange, or such number of Exchange Property Securities as would otherwise be appropriate; and in such event and in respect of such number of Reference Shares or Exchange Property Securities, references in Conditions 5(B)(iii) and 5(B)(iv) to the Exchange Date shall be deemed to refer to the date upon which such retroactive adjustment becomes effective disregarding the fact that it becomes effective retroactively. Fractions of shares shall not be delivered, and cash adjustment shall be made in respect thereof net of remittance fee, rounding to one dollar with 0.5 being rounded upwards.

(vi) Entitlements on Exchange. With effect from, and including, the Exchange Delivery Date, the exchanging holder of the Bonds shall, as between it and FENC or the issuer of Exchange Property Securities, be entitled to exercise all rights in respect of the Reference Shares or Exchange Property Securities, as applicable, and receive all income or other assets arising out of the Reference Shares or Exchange Property Securities, as applicable (except where such rights, income or other assets accrue by reference to a record date which precedes the Exchange Delivery Date). The rights of an exchanging holder of the Bonds in respect of the Reference Shares or Exchange Property Securities, as applicable, as between it and any other

^{}[] 110

person shall be as provided by applicable law or regulation. In particular, the rights of the exchanging holder of the Bonds with respect to Reference Shares or Exchange Property Securities, as applicable, as between it and FENC or the issuer of the Exchange Property Securities, as applicable (assuming that the issuer is an ROC corporation), will be determined by the date on which the name of the holder of the Bonds (or its designee) is registered as owner of the Reference Shares or Exchange Property Securities, as applicable, in the applicable shareholders' register.

Subject to Condition 5(B)(iv) and the following paragraph and assuming no Change of Control of FENC has occurred, the Company will ensure that the Reference Shares delivered on exchange of Bonds (if applicable) will in all respects rank pari passu with the Reference Shares in issue on the relevant Exchange Delivery Date (except for any right the record date for which precedes the date on which the exchanging holder of the Bonds (or its designee) is registered as the owner of the Reference Shares in the shareholders' register of FENC, and except for any other right excluded by mandatory provisions of applicable law).

The Reference Shares or the Exchange Property Securities, as applicable, to be delivered on exercise of Exchange Rights shall not include any dividends or other income thereon declared or paid by reference to a record date prior to the Exchange Delivery Date. The Reference Shares or the Exchange Property Securities, as applicable, delivered pursuant to exercise of Exchange Rights shall qualify for dividends or other distributions declared or paid by reference to any record date in respect of such dividends or distributions falling after the Exchange Delivery Date.

(vii) Exchange Agents. The Company reserves the right, subject to the provisions of the Agency Agreement and with the prior written consent of the Trustee, to vary or terminate the appointment of any Exchange Agent and to appoint other Exchange Agents at any time; provided that the Company shall at all times maintain an Exchange Agent having a specified office in London and, so long as the Bonds are listed on the SGX-ST and the rules of the SGX-ST so require, in Singapore. Notice of any such termination or appointment and of any changes in the specified offices of the Exchange Agents shall be given promptly by the Company to the holders of the Bonds and, so long as the Bonds are listed on the SGX-ST and the rules of the SGX-ST so require, the SGX-ST, in accordance with Condition 14.

(viii) Adjustment of Global Certificate on the Exchange of Bonds. Where Exchange Rights are exercised in respect of only some of the Bonds represented by an Global Certificate, the principal amount of such Bonds shall be noted on the relevant schedule to such Global Certificate and, on the Exchange Date the principal amount of such Global Certificate shall be reduced accordingly.

(C) Adjustments to Exchange Price

The Exchange Price shall be subject to adjustment in the manner set forth in the Indenture (the "Antidilution Adjustments") upon the occurrence of certain events set out in the Indenture, including:

If FENC shall declare a dividend in Reference Shares or make a free distribution or bonus issue of Reference Shares which is treated as a capitalization issue for accounting purposes (including but not limited to capitalization of retained earnings or capital reserves), then the Exchange Price in effect on the date when such dividend and/or distribution is declared (or, if FENC has fixed a prior record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend and/or distribution, on such record date) shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula:

$$
NEP = OEP \times [N/(N+n)]
$$

where:

  • NEP = the Exchange Price after such adjustment.

If FENC shall (a) subdivide its outstanding Reference Shares, (b) consolidate its outstanding Reference Shares into a smaller number of Reference Shares, or (c) reclassify any of its Reference Shares into other securities of FENC, then the Exchange Price shall be appropriately adjusted so that the holder of any Bond, on the Exchange Date which occurs after the coming into effect of the adjustment described in this subsection (ii), shall be entitled to receive the number of Reference Shares and/or other securities of FENC which it would have held or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above had such Bond been exchanged immediately prior to the happening of such event (or, if FENC has fixed a prior record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive any such securities issued upon any such subdivision, consolidation or reclassification, immediately prior to such record date), but without prejudice to the effect of any other adjustment to the Exchange Price made with effect from the date of the happening of such event (or such record date) or any time thereafter.

An adjustment made pursuant to this Condition 5(C)(ii) shall become effective immediately on the relevant event referred to in this Condition 5(C)(ii) becoming effective or, if a record date is fixed therefor, immediately after such record date; provided that in the case of a division, consolidation or reclassification of Reference Shares which must, under applicable laws of the ROC, be submitted for approval to a general meeting of shareholders or be approved by a meeting of the board of directors of FENC before being legally paid or made, and which is so approved after the record date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution or bonus issue of Reference Shares or other securities issued upon such consolidation or reclassification, such adjustment shall, immediately upon such approval being given by such meeting, become effective retroactively to immediately after such record date.

(xiii) any other event or circumstance which would have an effect analogous to any of the events in (i) to (xii) above including, but not limited to, issues of receipts or certificates entitling holders to receive Reference Shares at less than the then Current Market Price.

No adjustment of the Exchange Price will be made where such adjustment would be less than 1% of the Exchange Price then in effect, but any adjustment that otherwise would be required to be made will be carried forward and taken into account in determining any subsequent adjustment, provided that the Company will make any carried forward adjustments (a) on each anniversary of the Issue Date and (b) prior to the redemption date in connection with the exercise of the option to redeem by the Company pursuant to Condition 7(B) or the exercise of the option to redeem by the holders of the Bonds pursuant to Condition 7(D).

The holders of the Bonds shall have no voting or other rights attaching to the Reference Shares or Exchange Property Securities prior to their registration as shareholders of FENC or any Exchange Property issuer.

In exercising such voting rights, the Company may regard its own interests to the exclusion of the interests of holders of the Bonds or any of them.

(iii) to the extent permitted by applicable laws, it will use its best efforts to ensure that any Reference Shares or Exchange Property Securities deliverable on exchange of Bonds may be transferred to any person, corporation, partnership or association, regardless of nationality (except for the persons of the PRC unless it is a QDII); and

(iv) it will not create or purport or attempt to create, assume or permit to subsist, any mortgage, charge, pledge, hypothecation, lien, interest under a trust or other encumbrance over the Reference Shares or any Exchange Property Securities or any part thereof.

119

  1. Payments

(A) Manner of payment

Payment in respect of a Bond shall be made (i) by transfer to the registered account of the holder of the Bond or (ii) if such holder does not have a registered account, by a US dollar check mailed to its registered address. The registered account and address of a holder of the Bonds mean its account and address appearing on the register of holders of the Bonds at the close of business on the second Business Day (as defined below) before the due date for payment.

References in these Conditions, the Indenture and the Agency Agreement to payment in respect of a Bond shall, where the context so permits, be deemed to include not only a reference to the principal of, but also to any premium, interest and other amounts payable on, such Bond.

(B) Commissions and expenses

All payments are subject in all cases to any applicable fiscal or other laws and regulations, but without prejudice to the provisions of Condition 8. No commissions or expenses shall be charged to the holders of the Bonds in respect of such payments.

(C) Date of payment

Where payment is to be made by transfer to a registered account, payment instructions for value on the due date (or, if that date is not a Business Day, for value the next Business Day) shall be initiated. Where payment is to be made by check, the check shall be mailed on the due date for payment or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the first following day that is a Business Day (at the risk and, if mailed at the request of the holder of the Bonds otherwise than by ordinary mail, expense of the holder of the Bonds). Notwithstanding the above, payment of principal of a Bond represented by an Definitive Certificate shall not be made earlier than the Business Day on which the relevant Certificate is surrendered at the specified office of an Agent.

(D) Default interest and payment delay

If the Company fails to pay any sum in respect of the Bonds when the same becomes due and payable under these Conditions, interest shall accrue on the overdue sum at the rate of 3.0% per annum from the due date and ending on the date that actual payment is made (both dates inclusive) as stated in a notice given to the holders of the Bonds in accordance with Condition 14. Such default interest shall accrue on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 360-day year consisting of 12 months of 30 days each.

A holder of the Bonds shall not be entitled to any interest or other payment for any delay in receiving the amount due if (i) the due date is not a Business Day, (ii) the Bond is represented by a Definitive Certificate and the holder is late in surrendering its Bond Definitive Certificate (if required to do so) or (iii) a check mailed in accordance with this Condition 6 arrives after the due date for payment. Any default interest payable under this Condition 6(D) shall be payable by the Company directly to the relevant holder of the Bonds in the manner specified in Condition 6(A).

  1. Redemption, Repurchase and Cancellation

(A) Redemption at maturity

Unless the Bonds have been previously redeemed, repurchased and cancelled, or exchanged as herein provided, the Company shall redeem the Bonds at 100.0% of their principal amount in US dollars on January 27, 2016 (the "Maturity Date") or if such day shall not be a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day. The Bonds may be redeemed prior to that date only as provided in Conditions 7(B), (C) and (D) below, but without prejudice to Condition 9.

(B) Redemption at the option of the Company

At any time on or after January 27, 2014, the Company may, having given not less than 30 or more than 60 days' notice to the holders of the Bonds (which notice shall be irrevocable and delivered in accordance with Condition 7(H) and Condition 14), redeem the Bonds in whole, or from time to time in part (being US$200,000 in principal amount and integral multiples of

120

US$1,000 in excess thereof), at their Early Redemption Amount (as defined below) if the Closing Price (as defined in Condition 5(C)) of the Reference Shares, translated into US dollars at the Prevailing Rate (as defined in Condition 5(B)(iv)), during a period of 30 consecutive Trading Days (the "Calculation Period"), the last of which occurs not more than five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of such notice of redemption, is at least 130% of the quotient of the Early Redemption Amount divided by the number of Reference Shares to be delivered upon exchange of US$200,000 principal amount of Bonds on the applicable Trading Day based on the Exchange Price then in effect, translated into US dollars at the Fixed Exchange Rate. If there shall occur an event giving rise to a change in the Exchange Price during any Calculation Period, appropriate adjustments for the relevant days, determined by an opinion of an independent, internationally recognized investment bank selected by the Company and notified to the Trustee, shall be made for the purpose of calculating the Closing Price of Reference Shares for such days. Notice of any such adjustments in the Exchange Price will be given promptly by the Company to the Trustee and the Principal Paying Agent.

Notwithstanding the conditions to the Company's right to redeem the Bonds set forth in the paragraph above, at any time, the Company may, having given not less than 30 or more than 60 days' notice to the holders of the Bonds (which notice shall be irrevocable and delivered in accordance with Condition 7(H) and Condition 14), redeem the Bonds in whole, but not in part, at their Early Redemption Amount in US dollars if at least 90% in principal amount of the Bonds has already been redeemed, repurchased and cancelled or exchanged.

"Early Redemption Amount" means, for each US$200,000 principal amount of Bonds, the amount calculated in accordance with the following formula, rounded (if necessary) to three decimal places with 0.0005 being rounded upwards; provided that the Early Redemption Amount shall be 100.0% of principal amount of the Bonds on the Maturity Date:

Early Redemption Amount = I × (1 + r/2)^{d/180}

I = Issue price (100% of principal amount) of the Bonds.

r = 0% expressed as a decimal.

d = number of days from and including January 27, 2011 to but excluding, the date for redemption, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of 12 months of 30 days each, and in the case of an incomplete month, the actual number of days elapsed.

Notwithstanding the right of the Company to redeem the Bonds as set forth in this Condition 7(B), the Company may not specify a date for redemption that falls in an Closed Period or within 15 days following the last day of an Closed Period.

(C) Redemption for taxation reasons

At any time, the Company may, having given not less than 30 or more than 60 days notice to the holders of the Bonds (which notice shall be irrevocable and delivered in accordance with Condition 7(H) and Condition 14), redeem the Bonds in whole, but not in part (subject to the provisions of Condition 7(E) below), at the Early Redemption Amount, provided that, immediately prior to the giving of such notice:

(i) the Company (or successor) has become obliged to pay Additional Amounts (as defined in Condition 8) as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (as defined in Condition 8), or any change in the general application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment in the case of the Company, becomes effective after the date of the original issuance of the Bonds or, in the case of a successor, becomes effective after the date such surviving person becomes obligated under the Bonds, and would require the Company (or successor) pay Additional Amounts, in respect of Taxes (as defined in Condition 8) imposed, if any, at a rate greater than 15%; and

(ii) such obligation cannot be avoided by the Company (or successor) taking reasonable measures available to it.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 45 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company (or successor) would be obliged to pay such Additional Amounts.

^{}[] 121

Prior to the delivery of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Condition 7(C), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee (1) a certificate signed by two of its authorized officers stating that the obligation referred to in (i) above cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to it and (2) an opinion addressed to the Trustee by an independent law firm of recognized standing admitted to practice in the Relevant Jurisdiction, or a written advice of a qualified tax advisor of recognized standing in the Relevant Jurisdiction, to the effect that the Company (or successor) has or will become obliged to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of such change or amendment, and the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such certificate and opinion or advice as sufficient and conclusive evidence thereof in which event it shall be conclusive and binding on the holders of the Bond. The Bonds in respect of which a notice of redemption has been given under Condition 7(B) or 7(D) shall not be affected by any notice given subsequently under this Condition 7(C).

Notwithstanding the right of the Company to redeem the Bonds as set forth in this Condition 7(C), the Company may not specify a date for redemption that falls in an Closed Period or within 15 days following the last day of an Closed Period.

(D) Redemption at the option of the holders

Each holder of the Bonds shall have a put right (the "Holders' Put Right") to require the Company to redeem in whole, or in part only (being US$200,000 in principal amount and integral multiples $1,000 in excess thereof), the Bonds held by such holder, on January 27, 2014 at 100.0% of their principal amount in US dollars. Not less than 30 or more than 60 days prior to this date, the Company shall notify the holders of the Holders' Put Right, which notice shall be delivered in accordance with Condition 7(H) and Condition 14.

If a Change of Control of FENC occurs, the Company shall notify the holders promptly (which notice shall be delivered in accordance with Condition 7(H) and Condition 14), and each holder of the Bonds shall have the right (the "Change of Control Put Right") at such holder's option, to require the Company to redeem such holder's Bonds in whole, or in part only (being US$200,000 in principal amount and integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof), at the Early Redemption Amount on the 20th Business Day after the date of such notice.

In the event that the Reference Shares cease to be listed or admitted to trading on the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation (a "FENC Delisting") for a period of at least five Trading Days (as defined in Condition 5(A)), the Company shall notify the holders promptly (which notice shall be delivered in accordance with Condition 7(H) and Condition 14), and each holder of the Bonds shall have the right (the "Delisting Put Right") to require the Company to redeem such holder's Bonds in whole, or in part only (being US$200,000 in principal amount and integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof), at the Early Redemption Amount on the 20th Business Day after the date of such notice.

(E) Non-redemption option of the holders

If the Company (or successor) gives a notice of redemption of the Bonds under Condition 7(C), each holder of the Bonds shall have the right (the "Non-Redemption Right") to elect that all or a portion (being US$200,000 in principal amount and integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof) of its Bonds not be redeemed. Upon the exercise of the Non-Redemption Right with respect to such Bonds, no Additional Amounts referred to in Condition 8 shall be payable on the payments due after the relevant date in respect of such Bonds and, subject to Condition 8, such payments shall be made subject to the deduction or withholding required under the laws or regulations of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction. For the avoidance of doubt, any increased amounts that had been payable in respect of the Bonds under Condition 8 as a result of the laws or regulations of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in effect on the original date of their issuance shall continue to be payable to such holders of the Bonds. To exercise such right, the holder must give notice to the Company in the manner set out in the Indenture no later than 15 days prior to the relevant Redemption Date.

(F) Repurchase and cancellation

The Company or any Principal Subsidiary may at any time and from time to time repurchase the Bonds in the open market or otherwise at any price. The Company shall promptly surrender any Bonds so repurchased to the Principal Paying Agent for cancellation.

122

(G) Cancellation

All Bonds that are redeemed, repurchased or exchanged and surrendered to any Agent shall forthwith be cancelled. In the case of Bonds represented by Definitive Certificates, certificates in respect of all Bonds cancelled shall be forwarded to or to the order of the Principal Paying Agent. Bonds cancelled may not be reissued or resold.

(H) Redemption procedures

In the event that the Company is required to deliver a notice to the holders of the Bonds under this Condition 7, the Company shall provide such information to the Trustee in sufficient time to permit the Trustee to give notice to the holders of the Bonds in accordance with Condition 14, which notice shall state, to the extent applicable:

(i) the relevant redemption date;
(ii) in the case of a FENC Delisting, the date of such FENC Delisting and, briefly, the events that resulted in such FENC Delisting;
(iii) in the case of a Change of Control of FENC, the date of such Change of Control of FENC and, briefly, the events causing such Change of Control of FENC;
(iv) the date by which the Exercise Notice (as defined below) must be given by the holder;
(v) the applicable redemption price of a Bond on the redemption date and the method by which such redemption price will be paid;
(vi) the names and addresses of all Paying Agents;
(vii) the Exchange Price then in effect;
(viii) the procedures that holders must follow and the requirements they must satisfy in order to exercise their Holders' Put Right, Delisting Put Right, Change of Control Put Right, Non-Redemption Right, and/or Exchange Right, as the case may be;
(ix) that an Exercise Notice, once validly given, may not be withdrawn;
(x) the principal amount of the Bonds outstanding as of the latest practicable date prior to the delivery of the notice;
(xi) the Closing Price of the Reference Share on the most recent practicable Trading Day for which such Closing Price can be provided;
(xii) the place of payment; and
(xiii) that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Bonds to be redeemed.

The Company shall also provide to the Trustee an officers' certificate certifying the applicable redemption price on the redemption date.

So long as the Bonds are listed on the SGX-ST and the rules of the SGX-ST so require, the Company shall submit a copy of the redemption notice to the SGX-ST as soon as practicable.

To exercise its Holders' Put Right, Delisting Put Right, Change of Control Put Right or Non-Redemption Right, as the case may be, a holder of the Bonds must deliver a written irrevocable notice of the exercise of such right (an "Exercise Notice") in the form obtainable during normal business hours from the specified office of any of the Agents, to any Paying Agent on any Business Day that is not fewer than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the relevant redemption date.

Payment of the redemption price upon exercise of the Holders' Put Right, Delisting Put Right or Change of Control Put Right attaching to any Bond represented by a Definitive Certificate for which an Exercise Notice has been delivered is conditioned upon the delivery of such Definitive Certificate (together with any necessary endorsements) to any Paying Agent on any Business Day, together with the delivery of such Exercise Notice, and shall be made promptly following the later of the relevant redemption date and the time of delivery of such Definitive Certificate. If the Paying Agent holds on a redemption date monies sufficient to pay the redemption price for a Bond for which an Exercise Notice has been delivered, then, whether or not the Definitive Certificate representing such Bond is delivered to the Paying Agent, on and after such redemption date (i) such Bond shall cease to be outstanding; (ii) such Bond shall be deemed paid; and (iii) all rights of the holder shall terminate, other than the right to receive the redemption price.

123

(I) Partial redemption

In the event of the proposed redemption of some but not all of the Bonds pursuant to Condition 7(B), the Bonds to be so redeemed shall be determined individually by the drawing of lots by the Trustee or such persons, agents, delegates or nominees which the Trustee may approve or such other method in such place as the Trustee shall approve and in such manner as the Trustee shall deem to be fair and reasonable in the circumstances, taking into account prevailing market practices, subject to compliance with any applicable laws and stock exchange requirements. The identifying numbers of the Bonds drawn for redemption shall be published in accordance with Condition 14 by the Company not less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. The Trustee will not be liable for selections made by it in accordance with this Condition 7.

(J) No duty to determine, calculate or verify

Neither the Trustee nor the Agents shall be under any duty to determine or verify whether a Bond is to be accepted for redemption under this Condition 7 nor shall it be responsible or liable to any holder of the Bonds for any loss arising from any failure by it to do so. Neither the Trustee nor the Agents shall be under any duty to determine, calculate or verify the redemption amount payable under this Condition 7 nor shall it be responsible or liable to any holder of the Bonds for any loss arising from any failure by it to do so.

  1. Taxation

Interest and premium (if any) payable on the Bonds to non-residents of the ROC is currently subject to a withholding tax in the ROC equal to 15% of the gross amount of such interest and premium (if any), though this tax may not necessarily be applicable to such non-residents who reside in countries that have entered into the Double Tax Treaty with the ROC. A securities transaction tax of 0.3% levied on proceeds from the sale of common shares will be payable by the seller of the common shares.

All payments in respect of the Bonds by the Company (or successor) and the delivery of the Reference Shares and Exchange Property shall be made free and clear of and without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature ("Taxes") imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of the government of the ROC or any jurisdiction in which the Company or a successor is organized or resident for tax purposes or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax (each, as applicable, a "Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction"), or any jurisdiction through which payments or delivery of Reference Shares or Exchange Property is made (each such jurisdiction along with each Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, a "Relevant Jurisdiction"), unless required by law. In the event of any such deduction or withholding from any such payment or delivery, the Company (or successor) shall pay such additional amounts ("Additional Amounts") as will result in the receipt by the holders of the Bonds of the amounts or Reference Shares or Exchange Property, as applicable, that would have been receivable in the absence of any such deduction or withholding, except that no Additional Amounts shall be payable in respect of any Bond:

(i) to, or on behalf of, a holder or beneficial owner who is subject to such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges in respect of such Bond by reason of its being connected with a Relevant Jurisdiction otherwise than merely by holding such Bond or by the receipt of payments in respect of the Bond;

(ii) to or on behalf of a holder or beneficial owner of a Bond to the extent that such holder or beneficial owner would not be liable for or subject to such deduction or withholding by making a declaration of non-residence or other claim for exemption or deduction in such tax to the relevant tax authorities if such holder or beneficial owner is eligible to make such declaration or claim, and after being requested to do so by the Company, such holder or beneficial owner fails to timely do so;

(iii) if the Definitive Certificate, if issued, in respect of the Bond is presented for payment more than 30 days after the Relevant Date (as defined below) except to the extent that the holder would have been entitled to such additional amount on surrendering the relevant certificate for payment on the last day of such 30-day period;

124

(iv) when such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any other Directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of 26-27 November 2000 on the taxation of savings income or any law implementing or complying with, or introduction in order to conform to, such Directive; or
(v) in the case of a Definitive Certificate, by or on behalf of a holder of the Bonds who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant Definitive Certificate to another Paying Agent.

Further, no payments of Additional Amounts will be made with respect to any payment on a Bond to a holder, if the holder is a fiduciary, partnership or person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent that such payment would be required to be included in the income under the laws of a Relevant Jurisdiction, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, or a member of that partnership or another beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such Additional Amounts had that beneficiary, settlor, partner, or beneficial owner been the holder thereof.

References in these Conditions to payments in respect of the Bonds shall be deemed also to refer to any Additional Amounts that may be payable in respect thereof under this Condition 8.

"Relevant Date" in relation to any Bonds means (a) the due date for payment in respect thereof, or (b) if the full amount of the monies payable on such due date has not been received by the Trustee or the Principal Paying Agent on or prior to such due date, the date on which notice is duly given to the holders of the Bonds that such monies have been so received.

9. Events of Default

The Trustee at its discretion may, and if so requested in writing by the holders of the Bonds of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding shall (in each case subject to the Trustee being indemnified and/or secured by the holders of the Bonds to its satisfaction), give notice in writing to the Company that the Bonds are immediately due and payable, if an Event of Default (as defined below) shall have occurred and be continuing. Upon any such notice being given to the Company, the Bonds shall immediately become due and payable at 100% of their principal amount plus any default interest payable in accordance with Condition 6(D). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the events specified in subsections (vi), (vii) and (viii) shall have occurred, the Bonds shall forthwith become immediately due and payable at 100% of their principal amount, plus any default interest payable in accordance with Condition 6(D), without regard to the giving of any such notice. An "Event of Default" occurs if:

(i) the Company fails to pay the principal of any of the Bonds after the same shall become due and payable;
(ii) the Company fails to deliver Reference Shares or Exchange Property as and when such Reference Shares or Exchange Property are required to be delivered upon the exchange of a Bond (subject to the limited circumstances under which cash may be delivered in lieu of Reference Shares or Exchange Property as specified in Condition 5(B)(iv));
(iii) the Company defaults in performance or observance of or compliance with any of its other obligations set out in the Bonds or the Indenture, which default is incapable of remedy or, if in the opinion of the Trustee such default is capable of remedy, such default is not remedied within 45 days after written notice of such default shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee;
(iv) (a) any other present or future indebtedness of the Company or any of its Principal Subsidiaries (as defined in Condition 3) for or in respect of monies borrowed or raised becomes due and payable prior to its stated maturity by reason of an event of default, howsoever described, or any such indebtedness is not paid when due or, as the case may be, within any applicable grace period originally provided for or (b) the Company or any of its Principal Subsidiaries fails to pay when due any amount payable by the Company or such Principal Subsidiary, as the case may be, under any present or future guarantee or indemnity or arrangement or obligation having a like or similar

^{}[] 125

effect, howsoever described, for any monies borrowed; provided that the aggregate amount of the relevant indebtedness or amount payable in respect of which one or more events mentioned above in this paragraph (iv) have occurred equals or exceeds US$10,000,000 or its equivalent in any other currency;

(v) any person entitled to the benefit thereof shall institute legal proceedings to enforce any mortgage, charge, pledge, lien or other encumbrance upon all or a material portion of the assets, property or revenues of the Company and its Principal Subsidiary, taken as a whole, unless the Company or such Principal Subsidiary, as the case may be, are contesting such proceedings in good faith by appropriate legal proceedings and have established reserves adequate in the Company's judgment with respect thereto;

(vi) a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction shall have been entered adjudging the Company or any of its Principal Subsidiaries bankrupt or insolvent, or approving a petition seeking the Company's reorganization or that of any of its Principal Subsidiaries under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization law, or for the appointment of a receiver or liquidator or trustee or assignee in bankruptcy or insolvency of, or all or substantially all of the business or assets of, or for the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of, the Company or any of its Principal Subsidiaries;

(vii) an effective resolution shall be passed for the winding-up or liquidation of the Company or that of any of its Principal Subsidiaries, or the Company or any of its Principal Subsidiaries shall institute proceedings to be adjudicated as a voluntary bankrupt, or shall consent to the filing of a bankruptcy proceeding against it, or shall file a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or arrangement under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization law, or shall consent to the filing of any such petition, or shall consent to the appointment of a receiver or liquidator or trustee or assignee in bankruptcy or insolvency of it or of all or substantially all of its business or assets, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or corporate action shall be taken by the Company or any of its Principal Subsidiaries in furtherance of any of the aforesaid purposes;

(vii) proceedings shall have been initiated against the Company or any of its Principal Subsidiaries under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization law and such proceedings shall not have been discharged or stayed within a period of 90 days; or

(ix) it is or will become unlawful for the Company to perform or comply with one or more of its material obligations under any of the Bonds, the Indenture or the Agency Agreement.

Neither the Trustee nor the Agents shall be responsible or liable for monitoring whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Unless and until the Trustee or the Agents otherwise has actual notice in writing to the contrary, each of the Trustee and the Agents may assume that no such event has occurred and that the Company is performing all its obligations under the Indenture and the Bonds.

10. Prescription

Claims against any payment in respect of the Bonds shall be prescribed unless made within six years from the relevant date of payment in respect thereof.

Under the laws of the ROC, claims in respect of the (i) payment of principal would become unenforceable after 15 years and (ii) payment of interest and premium would become unenforceable after 5 years, each measured from the relevant date for payment in respect thereof.

11. Enforcement

At any time after the Bonds have become due and payable, the Trustee may, at its discretion and without further notice, take such proceedings against the Company as it may think fit to enforce payment in respect of the Bonds, including any premium and interest, and to enforce the provisions of the Indenture; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be bound to

126

take any such actions unless (a) it shall have been so requested in writing by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding and (b) it shall have been indemnified and/or secured to its satisfaction. No holder of the Bonds shall be entitled to proceed directly against the Company, unless (a) the Trustee, having become bound to take proceedings against the Company, fails to do so and such failure shall have continued for a period of 60 days and (b) no direction inconsistent with the Trustee taking such proceedings has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding.

12. Meetings of Holders of the Bonds, Modification and Waiver

(A) Meetings; Modification Requiring Consent of Each Holder

The Indenture will contain provisions for convening meetings of holders of the Bonds to consider any matter affecting their interests, including the approval of amendments or modifications of the terms and conditions of the Bonds or the provisions of the Indenture upon either the written consent of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding or the approval at a meeting of holders duly called by persons entitled to vote not less than a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding, with a quorum of two or more persons, holding or representing over 50% in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding; provided that no such modification of the terms and conditions of the Bonds or the provisions of the Indenture may, without the consent of each holder of the Bonds affected thereby:

(i) modify the Maturity Date;
(ii) reduce the principal, redemption price of, the rate of interest, if any, on, any Bond or increase the Exchange Price (as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture);

  1. Agents

The Company reserves the right, subject to the provisions of the Agency Agreement, at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of Agents; provided that it shall at all times maintain an Agent having a specified office in London and so long as the Bonds are listed on the SGX-ST and the rules of the SGX-ST so require, an Agent in Singapore.

THE GLOBAL CERTIFICATE

Capitalized terms used in this section and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to them in "Description of the Bonds."

The Global Certificates

One or more Global Certificates will be deposited with a common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream (the "Common Depositary") and registered in the name of a nominee common to Euroclear and Clearstream. Euroclear and Clearstream will credit their respective account holders with the respective principal amounts of the individual interests represented by the Global Certificates. Such accounts will be designated initially by, or on behalf of, the Initial Purchasers. Ownership of beneficial interests in the Global Certificates will be limited to persons who have accounts with Euroclear or Clearstream, or persons who hold interests through such account holders. Ownership of beneficial interests in the Global Certificates will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, the records maintained by Euroclear and Clearstream (with respect to interests of their respective account holders) and the records of such account holders (with respect to interests of persons with beneficial interests in the Global Certificates other than such account holders).

The laws of certain jurisdictions require that certain purchasers of Bonds take physical delivery of such Bonds in definitive form. Accordingly, the ability of beneficial owners to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in the Global Certificate may be limited by such laws.

Payments of the principal of, and any premium on, the Global Certificates will be made to the Common Depositary or its nominee as the registered owner thereof. None of us, the Trustee, the Common Depositary, the Agents or any other agent of ours will have any responsibility or liability for the accuracy of any of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, ownership interests in the Global Certificates or for any notice permitted or required to be given to persons with beneficial interests in the Global Certificates or any consent given or actions taken by such persons. We expect that upon receipt of any payment in respect of the Global Certificates representing any Bonds held by it or its nominee, the Common Depositary will promptly credit the accounts of the participants of Euroclear and Clearstream with payments proportionate to their respective interests in the amount of the principal of the Global Certificates as shown on its records.

Transfers between account holders in Euroclear and Clearstream will be effected through the records of Euroclear and Clearstream and their respective participants in accordance with the rules and procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream and their respective direct and indirect participants.

Subject to the requirements of Euroclear and Clearstream, the Exchange Right attaching to the Bonds in respect of which the Global Certificate is issued may be exercised by the presentation of one or more Exchange Notices duly completed by, or on behalf of, a holder of a book-entry interest in such Bonds. Deposit of the Global Certificate with the Exchange Agent together with the relevant Exchange Notice shall not be required. The provisions of Condition 5 of the Bonds will otherwise apply.

Although Euroclear and Clearstream have agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in the Global Certificates among participants and account holders of Clearstream and Euroclear, they are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. None of us, the Trustee, the Common Depositary, the Agents or any other agents of ours will have any responsibility for the performance by Euroclear or Clearstream, or their respective participants, indirect participants or account holders, of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

Euroclear and Clearstream each holds the Bonds for participating organizations and facilitates the clearance and settlement of Bond transactions between its respective participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of such participants. Euroclear and Clearstream provide to their respective participants, among other things, services for safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement of internationally traded securities and securities lending and borrowing. Euroclear and Clearstream participants are financial institutions throughout the world, including underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Indirect access to Euroclear and Clearstream is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies which clear through, or maintain a custodial relationship with, a Euroclear or Clearstream participant, either directly or indirectly.

Definitive Certificates

We will issue Definitive Certificates in registered form in exchange for the Global Certificates if:

(i) the Common Depositary or any successor to the Common Depositary notifies us in writing that it is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as a depositary, and a successor depositary is not appointed by us within 90 days of the date of receipt of such notice;

(ii) either Euroclear or Clearstream or a successor clearing system is closed for business for a continuous period of 14 days (other than by reason of holidays, statutory or otherwise) or announces an intention permanently to cease business or does in fact do so; or

(iii) an Event of Default under the Bonds or the Indenture has occurred and is continuing.

Upon receipt of such notice from Euroclear, Clearstream or the Registrar, as the case may be, we will make arrangements for the exchange of interests in the Global Certificate for Definitive Certificates representing individual definitive Bonds and cause such relevant Definitive Certificates to be executed and delivered to the relevant Registrar in sufficient quantities and authenticated by the relevant Registrar for delivery to the holders of the Bonds. Each person exchanging interests in the Global Certificates for one or more of these Definitive Certificates will be required to provide to the Trustee through the relevant clearing system, written instructions and other information required by us and the relevant Registrar to complete, execute and deliver the relevant certificates. Any Definitive Certificates delivered in exchange for the Global Certificates or beneficial interests therein will be registered in the names requested, and issued in any denominations approved, by the relevant clearing system.

^{}[] THE SECURITIES MARKET OF THE ROC

The information presented in this section has been extracted from publicly available documents which have not been prepared or independently verified by us, the Initial Purchaser, the Trustee, the Principal Paying Agent, the Exchange Agent, the Transfer Agent, the Registrar or any of our respective affiliates or advisors in connection with this offering. References to the FSC in this section include both ROC Securities and Futures Commission and the ROC Securities and Exchange Commission, the predecessors of the Securities and Futures Bureau of the FSC.

In September 1960, the ROC government established the ROC Securities and Exchange Commission to supervise and control all aspects of the existing domestic securities market and the TWSE began to take shape soon thereafter. In the 1970s and the early 1980s, the ROC government implemented a number of steps designed to upgrade the quality and importance of the ROC securities markets, such as encouraging listing on the TWSE and establishing an over-the-counter securities exchange. In the mid-1980s, the ROC government began to revise its laws and regulations in a manner designed to facilitate the gradual internationalization of the ROC securities markets. In 1997, the ROC Securities and Exchange Commission was renamed the ROC Securities and Futures Commission. Effective July 1, 2004, the ROC Securities and Futures Commission has been renamed the ROC Securities and Futures Bureau, which is under the FSC.

The TWSE

In 1961, the FSC established the TWSE to provide a marketplace for securities trading. The TWSE is a corporation owned by government-controlled and private banks and enterprises. The TWSE is independent of the entities transacting business through it, each of which pays to the TWSE a user's fee. Subject to limited exceptions, all transactions in listed securities by brokers, traders and integrated securities firms must be made through the TWSE.

The TWSE commenced operations in 1962. During the early 1980s, the FSC actively encouraged new listings on the TWSE and the number of listed companies has grown from 119 in 1983 to 758 as of December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2010, the market capitalization of companies listed on the TWSE was approximately NT$23.8 trillion.

Historically, ROC companies have listed only shares and bonds on the TWSE. However, the FSC has encouraged companies to list other types of securities. In 1988, the Ministry of Finance permitted the issuance of ROC's first exchangeable bonds. Since 1989, there have been offerings of domestic convertible bonds and convertible preferred shares. In addition, beneficiary units evidencing beneficiary interests in closed-end investment funds and bonds issued by supra-national financial institutions are also listed on the TWSE or traded on the GTSM (which is discussed below). The FSC also has promulgated regulations which permit foreign issuers to list certain securities on the TWSE.

The TWSE considers the following factors when evaluating a company for listing:

  • the number of shareholders and the distribution of shareholdings among such shareholders;
  • the length of time in business;
  • the amount of paid-in capital; and
  • profitability.

However, special listing criteria apply to technology companies and key businesses engaging in national economic development.

The ROC GreTai Securities Market ("GTSM")

To complement the TWSE, the GTSM was established in September 1982 on the initiative of the FSC to encourage the trading of securities of companies who do not qualify for listing on the TWSE. As of November 30, 2010, the market capitalization of companies listed on the GTSM was approximately NT$1,882.32 billion.

The GTSM has established specific requirements for trading securities on the GTSM based on the history of a company, the number and distribution of a company's shareholders, amount of capital, profitability and capital structure.

Price Limits, Commissions, Transaction Tax and Other Matters

The TWSE has placed limits on block trading and on the range of daily price movements. According to the TWSE's block trading guidelines, an order for sale or purchase of 500 or more trading lots of one class of securities, or securities of five or more different classes and trading amounts exceeding NT$15 million, must be registered and executed in accordance with the guidelines. Fluctuations in the price of stock traded on the TWSE are currently subject to a restriction of 7% above and below the previous day closing price (or reference price set by the TWSE if the previous day closing price is not available because of lack of trading activity). However, these restrictions have been modified from time to time by the FSC based on market conditions. Brokerage commission can be set at any rate of the transaction price provided that any rate exceeding 0.1425% shall be reported to the TWSE and notify the client in advance. A securities transaction tax, currently levied at 0.3% of the transaction price, is payable by the seller of equity securities. Such securities transaction taxes are withheld at the time of the transaction giving rise to such tax. Sales of shares of companies listed on the TWSE are currently sold in round lots of 1,000 shares. Investors who desire to sell less than 1,000 shares of a listed company occasionally experience delays in effecting such sales.

Regulation and Supervision

The FSC has extensive regulatory authority over public companies. Public companies are generally required to obtain the deemed approval from the FSC for all securities offerings. The FSC has promulgated regulations requiring, unless otherwise exempted, periodic reporting of financial and operating information by all public companies. In addition, the FSC establishes standards for financial reporting and carries out licensing and supervision of participants in the ROC securities market.

The FSC has responsibility for implementing ROC Securities and Exchange Law and for overall administration of governmental policies in the ROC securities market. It has extensive regulatory authority over the offering, issuance and trading of securities. In addition, ROC Securities and Exchange Law specifically empowers the FSC to promulgate necessary rules. ROC Securities and Exchange Law prohibits market manipulation. For example, it permits an issuer to recover short-swing trading profits made through purchases and sales within six months by directors, managerial personnel, supervisors, as well as the spouses, minor children and nominees of these parties, and shareholders (together with their spouses, minor children and nominees) who hold 10% or more of the shares of the issuer. ROC Securities and Exchange Law prohibits trading by "insiders" based on nonpublic information that materially affects share price movement prior to publication of such information and within 18 hours after publication of such information. "Insiders" include:

  • directors, supervisors, managers, as well as the spouses, minor children and nominees of these parties, and shareholders (together with their spouses, minor children and nominees) who hold 10% or more of the issuing company's shares and any individual designated by a governmental or corporate director or supervisor to act on its behalf;
  • any person who has learned material nonpublic information due to an occupational or controlling relationship with the issuing company;
  • any person who has discharged from the status or position in the first and second bullet points for not more than six months; and
  • any person who has learned material non-public information from any of the above.

Sanctions include imprisonment. In addition, damages may be awarded to persons injured by the transaction. ROC Securities and Exchange Law also imposes criminal liability on certified public accountants and lawyers who make false certifications in their examination and audit of an issuer's contracts, reports and other documents related to securities transactions. The FSC regulations require that financial reports of listed companies be audited by accounting firms consisting of at least three certified public accountants and be signed by at least two certified public accountants.

In addition, ROC Securities and Exchange Law provides for civil liability for material misstatements or omissions made by issuers and regulation of tender offers. The FSC does not have criminal or civil enforcement powers under ROC Securities and Exchange Law. Criminal actions may be pursued only by government prosecutors. Civil actions may only be brought by plaintiffs who assert that they have suffered damages. The FSC is empowered to curb abuses and violations of laws and regulations only through administrative measures including:

  • issuance of warnings;
  • temporary suspension of operation;
  • imposition of administrative fines; and
  • revocation of licenses.

In addition to providing a market for securities trading, the TWSE reviews applications by ROC and foreign issuers to list securities on the TWSE. If issuers of listed securities violate laws and regulations or encounter significant difficulties, the TWSE may, with the approval of the FSC, delist the securities of these issuers.

^{}[] FOREIGN INVESTMENT AND EXCHANGE CONTROLS IN THE ROC

The information presented in this section has been extracted from publicly available documents which have not been prepared or independently verified by us, the Initial Purchaser, the Trustee, the Agents or any of our respective affiliates or advisors in connection with this Offering.

Foreign Investment

Historically, foreign investment in the ROC securities markets has been restricted. Since 1983, the ROC government has periodically enacted legislation and adopted regulations to permit foreign investment in the ROC securities market.

Regulations Governing Investment in Securities By Overseas Chinese and Foreign Nationals (the "Foreign Regulations"), which was approved by the ROC Executive Yuan on May 26, 1983 and has been amended from time to time, and the Regulations Governing Mainland Chinese Investors' Securities Investments and Futures Trading in Taiwan (the "PRC Regulations"), which was announced by the FSC on April 30, 2009, are two of the major regulations governing foreign investment in companies listed on TWSE or GTSM in Taiwan.

Under the Foreign Regulations, foreign investors are classified as either "onshore foreign investors" or "offshore foreign investors" according to their respective geographical location. Unless otherwise specified in the laws and regulations, both onshore and offshore foreign investors are allowed to invest in ROC securities after they register with the TWSE. The Foreign Regulations further classify foreign investors into foreign institutional investors and foreign individual investors. "Foreign institutional investors" refer to those investors incorporated and registered in accordance with foreign laws outside of the ROC (i.e., offshore foreign institutional investors) or their branches set up and recognized within the ROC (i.e., onshore foreign institutional investors). Offshore overseas Chinese and foreign individual investors may be subject to a maximum investment ceiling that will be separately determined by the FSC after consultation with the CBC. Currently, there is no maximum investment ceiling for offshore overseas Chinese and foreign individual investors. On the other hand, foreign institutional investors are not subject to any ceiling for investment in the ROC securities market.

In the past, PRC persons were prohibited from investing, whether directly or indirectly, in the ROC. The PRC Regulations promulgated by the FSC on April 30, 2009 loosen these restrictions. Under the PRC Regulations, PRC qualified domestic institutional investors ("QDII") are allowed to invest in ROC securities (including less than 10% shareholding of an ROC company listed on TWSE or GTSM). Nevertheless, the total investment amount of QDIIs cannot exceed US$500 million. For each QDII, the custodians of such QDIIs must apply with the TWSE for the remittance amount for each QDII, which cannot exceed US$100 million, and QDII can only invest in the ROC securities market with the amount approved by the TWSE. In addition, QDIIs are currently prohibited from investing in certain industries, and their investment of certain other industries in a given company is restricted to a certain percentage pursuant to a list promulgated by the FSC and amended from time to time. The Company and FENC currently does not engage in prohibited or restricted industries.

Depositary Receipts

In April 1992, the FSC enacted regulations permitting ROC companies with securities listed on the TWSE, with the prior approval of the FSC, to sponsor the issue and sale to foreign investors of depositary receipts. Depositary receipts represent deposited shares of ROC companies. In December 1994, the FSC allowed companies whose shares are traded on the GTSM or listed on the TWSE, upon approval of the FSC, to sponsor the issue and sale of depositary receipts.

A holder of depositary receipts may, after the issuance of the depositary receipts representing new shares and upon the listing of the underlying shares and (in practice, typically four to seven business days thereafter), request the depositary to either cause the underlying shares to be sold in the ROC and to distribute the sale proceeds to the holder or to withdraw from the depositary receipt facility the shares represented by the depositary receipts and deliver the shares to the holder. For depositary shares that represent previously issued and existing shares, a holder of the depositary receipts could, immediately after the issuance of the depositary receipts, request the depositary to conduct the foregoing. Currently, a holder of depositary shares who is a PRC person may not withdraw and hold shares unless (i) it is a QDII

135

or (ii) if all the businesses of the issuer are in the positive list promulgated by the ROC Executive Yuan, the holder withdraws shares which accounts for 10% or more of the issuer's issued shares and it otherwise obtains the approval of the Investment Commission of the MOEA. However, QDIIs are currently prohibited from investing in certain industries, and their investment of certain other industries in a given company is restricted to a certain percentage pursuant to a list promulgated by the FSC and amended from time to time. In addition, there are restrictions on the amount remitted to Taiwan for investments by QDIIs, separately and jointly. Accordingly, the qualification criteria for a PRC person to make investment, the restrictions on investment in certain industries and the investment threshold imposed by the FSC might accordingly cause a holder of depositary shares who is a PRC person to be unable to withdraw and hold the underlying shares.

Under existing laws and regulations relating to foreign exchange control, a depositary or a holder of depositary receipts may, without obtaining further approvals from the CBC or any other governmental authority or agency of the ROC, convert NT dollars into other currencies, including U.S. Dollars, in respect of the following: (1) proceeds of the sale of shares represented by depositary receipts, (2) proceeds of the sale of shares received as stock dividends and deposited into the depositary receipt facility and (3) any cash dividends or cash distributions received. In addition, a depositary, also without any of these approvals, may convert inward remittances of payments into NT dollars for purchases of underlying shares for deposit into the depositary receipt facility against the creation of additional depositary receipts. A depositary may be required to obtain foreign exchange approval from the CBC on a payment-by-payment basis for conversion from NT dollars into foreign currencies relating to the sale of subscription rights for new shares if the proceeds are in excess of US$100,000 per remittance. Proceeds from the sale of the underlying shares withdrawn from the depositary receipt facility may be used for reinvestment in the TWSE or the GTSM securities, subject to relevant regulations.

Under current ROC laws, a non-ROC holder of depositary receipts, when withdrawing the shares underlying the depositary receipts, will be required to register with the TWSE and appoint a local agent to open a securities trading account with a local brokerage firm and an NT dollar bank account, pay taxes, remit funds, exercise rights relating to the securities and perform such other matters as may be designated by such holder of depositary receipts on behalf of and as an agent for such holder of depositary receipts. Any such holder of depositary receipts is also required to appoint a custodian bank to hold the securities and any cash proceeds in safekeeping, to make confirmations, to settle trades and to report all relevant information. In addition, such holder of depositary receipts is required to appoint a tax guarantor for filing tax returns and making tax payments. Without meeting the foregoing requirements, the withdrawing holder of depositary receipts would be unable to hold and subsequently sell or otherwise transfer the underlying shares withdrawn from the depositary receipt facility on the TWSE or otherwise.

Overseas Corporate Bonds

Since 1989, the FSC has approved a series of overseas bonds issued by ROC companies listed on the TWSE in offerings outside the ROC. Under current ROC law, such overseas corporate bonds (i) can be converted by bondholders into shares of ROC companies or (ii) subject to FSC approval, may be converted into depositary receipts issued by the same ROC company or by the issuing company of the exchange shares, in the case of exchangeable bonds. A PRC holder of convertible or exchangeable bonds may not convert or exchange bonds unless (i) it is a QDII or (ii) if all the businesses of the issuer are in the positive list promulgated by the ROC Executive Yuan, the shares converted from overseas convertible bonds which accounts for 10% or more of the issuer's issued shares and it otherwise obtains the approval of the Investment Commission of the MOEA. However, QDIIs are currently prohibited from investing in certain industries, and their investment of certain other industries in a given company is restricted to a certain percentage pursuant to a list promulgated by the FSC and amended from time to time. In addition, there are restrictions on the amount remitted to Taiwan for investments by QDIIs, separately and jointly. Accordingly, the qualification criteria for a PRC person to make investment, the restrictions on investment in certain industries and the investment threshold imposed by the FSC might accordingly cause a holder of the corporate bonds who is a PRC person to be unable to convert or exchange the bonds and hold the shares. The relevant

136

regulations also permit public issuing companies to issue corporate debt in offerings outside the ROC. Proceeds from the sale of the shares converted or exchanged from overseas convertible or exchangeable bonds may be used for reinvestment in securities listed on the TWSE or traded on the GTSM, subject to relevant regulations.

Under current ROC law, a non-ROC converting or exchanging bondholder, when exercising his conversion or exchange right to convert or exchange bonds into common shares, is required to register with the TWSE and appoint a local agent to open a securities trading account with a local brokerage firm and an NT dollar bank account, pay taxes, remit funds, exercise rights relating to the securities and perform such other matters as may be designated by such converting or exchanging bondholder on behalf of and as agent for such converting or exchanging bondholder. Also, any such converting or exchanging bondholder is also required to appoint a custodian bank to hold the securities and any cash proceeds in safekeeping, to make confirmations, to settle trades and to report all relevant information. In addition, such converting or exchanging bondholder is required to appoint a tax guarantor for filing tax returns and making tax payments. Without meeting these requirements, the converting or exchanging holder would not be able to receive, hold, or subsequently sell or otherwise transfer the shares into which the overseas bonds may have been converted or exchanged on the TWSE or otherwise.

Unless otherwise limited by the CBC, an ROC company may, without obtaining further approvals from the CBC or any other government authority of the ROC, convert NT dollars to other non-ROC currencies, including U.S. Dollars, for making payments in respect of redemption of the bonds or repayment of principal of and interest on the bonds. A non-ROC converting or exchanging bondholder may, through its local agent and without obtaining prior approval from the CBC, convert into foreign currencies net proceeds realized from the sale of converted or exchanged common shares or any stock dividends relating to such shares, or any cash dividend or other cash distribution in respect of such common shares and, after becoming a shareholder, inward remittances of subscription payments in connection with a rights offering. However, a converting or exchanging bondholder must obtain prior approval from the CBC on a payment-by-payment basis for conversion from NT dollars into other currencies in respect of the proceeds from the sale of subscription rights for newly issued shares if the proceeds are in excess of US$100,000 per remittance.

Other Foreign Investment

In addition to investments permitted under the Foreign Regulations and PRC Regulations, foreign investors (other than PRC persons) who wish to make (i) direct investments in the shares of ROC private companies or (ii) investment in 10% or more of the equity interest of an ROC company listed on the TWSE or the GTSM in any single transaction and PRC investors who wish to make (i) direct investment in the shares of ROC private companies or (ii) investments, individually or aggregately, in 10% or more of the equity interest of an ROC company listed on the TWSE or the GTSM are required to submit an Investment Approval application to the Investment Commission of the MOEA or other government authority. The Investment Commission or such other government authority reviews Investment Approval application and approves or disapproves each application after consultation with other governmental agencies (such as the CBC and the FSC). PRC investors other than QDII are prohibited from making investments in an ROC company listed on the TWSE or the GTSM if the investment is less than 10% of the equity interest of such ROC company.

Under current law, any non-ROC person possessing an Investment Approval may remit capital for the approved investment and is entitled to repatriate annual net profits, interest and cash dividends attributable to such investment. Dividends attributable to such investment may be repatriated upon submitting certain required documents to the remitting bank, and investment capital and capital gains attributable to such investment may be repatriated after approvals of the Investment Commission or other authorities have been obtained.

In addition to the general restriction against direct investment by foreign investors in securities of ROC companies, foreign investors (except in certain limited cases) are currently prohibited from investing in certain industries in the ROC pursuant to a Negative List, as amended by the ROC Executive Yuan. The prohibition on foreign investment in the prohibited industries specified in the Negative List is absolute in the absence of specific exemption from the application of the Negative List. Pursuant to the Negative List, certain other industries are

^{}[] 137

restricted so that foreign investors (except in certain limited cases) may invest in such industries only up to a specified level and with the specific approval of the relevant competent authority which is responsible for enforcing the relevant legislation which the Negative List is intended to implement.

On the other hand, in addition to the general restriction against direct investment by PRC investment by PRC investors in securities of ROC companies, PRC investors may only invest in certain industries in the Positive List, as promulgated by the ROC Executive Yuan. In addition, PRC investor who wishes to be elected as an ROC company's director or supervisor shall also submit an Investment Approval application to the Investment Commission of the ROC MOEA or other government authority for approval.

Exchange Controls

The ROC Foreign Exchange Control Statute and regulations provide that all foreign exchange transactions must be executed by banks designated by the FSC and the CBC to handle foreign exchange transactions. Current regulations favor trade-related foreign exchange transactions. Consequently, foreign currency earned from exports of merchandise and services may now be retained and used freely by exporters. All foreign currency needed for the importation of merchandise and services may be purchased freely from the designated foreign exchange banks.

Aside from trade-related foreign exchange transactions, ROC companies and individual residents of the ROC may, without foreign exchange approval, remit to and from Taiwan foreign currencies of up to US$50 million, or its equivalent, and US$5 million, or its equivalent, respectively, in each calendar year. These limits apply to remittances involving a conversion between NT dollars and U.S. Dollars or other foreign currencies. In addition, all private enterprises are required to register all medium- and long-term foreign debt with the CBC. In addition, a foreign person may, subject to certain requirements but without foreign exchange approval, remit to and from Taiwan foreign currencies of up to US$100,000 (or its equivalent) per remittance if the required documentation is provided to the ROC authorities. This limit applies to remittances involving a conversion between NT dollars and U.S. Dollars or other foreign currencies.

TAXATION

Prospective investors should consult their own advisers concerning the tax consequences of an investment in the Bonds or the Reference Shares.

The following summary addresses the principal ROC tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the Bonds or the Reference Shares to a non-resident individual or non-resident entity that holds such Bonds or Reference Shares (a "Non-ROC Holder"). A "non-resident individual" (a "Non-ROC Individual Holder") is a foreign national individual who is not physically present in the ROC for 183 days or more during any calendar year in which he or she owns the Bonds or the Reference Shares and a "non-resident entity" (a "Non-ROC Entity Holder") is a corporation or a non-corporate body that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the ROC and does not have a fixed place of business or business agent in the ROC.

Bonds

Interest

Payments of stated interest or premium (if any) on a Bond to a Non-ROC Holder constitute interest income and, therefore, are subject to ROC withholding tax at the rate of 15% at the time of payment unless a lower withholding rate is provided under a tax treaty between the ROC and the jurisdiction where the Non-ROC Holder is a resident. The Company has agreed to pay Additional Amounts in respect of such withholding tax on the payments of interest or premium. See "Description of the Bonds." In addition, should withholding tax be payable, the Company will be responsible for withholding such taxes at source.

Sale

According to the ROC Securities Tax Act, no securities transaction tax will be imposed on the transfer of corporate bonds and financial debentures, including the Bonds, until December 31, 2016.

However, securities transaction tax, gift tax and/or income tax may be imposed in relation to the exchangeable holder's designation of other persons to be the holder of the Reference Shares upon the exchange of the Bonds.

Under current ROC laws, capital gains generated from transactions of securities issued by ROC companies are exempt from income tax. This exemption applies to capital gains derived from the sale of the Bonds.

Exchange into Reference Shares

For Non-ROC Entity Holders, the exchange of the Bonds into Reference Shares will be deemed as exchange under the same asset category and thus will not generate any gain or incur any loss. For Non-ROC Individual Holders, any gain or loss generated or incurred from the exchange of the Bonds into the Reference Shares will be deemed as capital gain or loss from securities transactions, and thus is not taxable (in the case of capital gain) or deductible (in the case of securities transaction loss) pursuant to the current ROC income tax law. Upon the exchange of the Bonds, a transaction tax of 0.3% will be imposed on the Company in connection with the delivery and transfer of the Reference Shares to the exchanging holder of the Bonds.

Stamp Duty

There is no ROC stamp tax, issue or registration fee imposed on the delivery of the Reference Shares upon exchange of the Bonds.

^{}[] 140

Reference Shares

Dividends

Dividends (whether in cash or Reference Shares) declared by FENC out of its retained earnings and distributed to a Non-ROC Holder in respect of the Reference Shares are subject to ROC withholding tax, currently at the rate of 20%, on the amount of the distribution (in the case of cash dividends) or on the par value of the Reference Shares (in the case of stock dividends) unless a lower withholding rate is provided under a tax treaty between the ROC and the jurisdiction where the Non-ROC Holder is a resident.

A 10% retained earnings tax is imposed on ROC company's after-tax earnings generated after January 1, 1998 that are not distributed in the following year. The retained earnings tax so paid reduces the retained earnings available for future distribution. When the company declares a dividend out of those retained earnings, a maximum amount of up to 10% of the declared dividend is credited against the 20% withholding tax imposed on the Non-ROC Holders so that the actual withholding tax imposed on the non-ROC Holders may be less than 20%.

Distributions of stock dividends declared by FENC out of its capital reserves are not subject to withholding tax, except under limited circumstances.

Sale

Securities transaction tax will be withheld at the rate of 0.3% of the transaction price upon a sale of the Reference Shares.

Under current ROC laws, capital gains on transactions in securities issued by ROC companies are exempt from income tax. This exemption applies to capital gains derived from the sale of the Reference Shares.

Pre-emptive Rights

Distributions of statutory subscription rights for the Reference Shares in compliance with the ROC Company Law are not subject to ROC tax. Proceeds derived from sales of statutory subscription rights evidenced by securities are currently exempted from income tax but are subject to securities transaction tax, currently at the rate of 0.3% of the gross amount received. Proceeds derived from sales of statutory subscription rights which are not evidenced by securities are subject to income tax at the rate of 20% of the gains realized. Subject to compliance with ROC laws, the Company has the sole discretion to determine whether statutory subscription rights shall be evidenced by the issuance of securities.

Estate Tax and Gift Tax

Subject to allowable exclusions, deductions and exemptions, ROC estate tax is payable on any property located within the ROC of a deceased Non-ROC Individual, and ROC gift tax is payable on any property located within the ROC donated by a Non-ROC Individual. Estate tax and gift tax are currently imposed at the rate of 10%. Under ROC estate and gift tax law, bonds and shares issued by ROC companies are deemed located within the ROC regardless of the location of the owner.

Tax Treaties

The United States does not have an income tax treaty with the ROC. At present, the ROC has income tax treaties with Australia, Gambia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Macedonia, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, Swaziland, Vietnam, Senegal, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Israel, Paraguay, Hungary and France which limit the rate of withholding tax on dividends or interest paid by ROC companies to residents of these countries. Accordingly, holders of the Bonds or the Reference Shares who are otherwise entitled to the benefits of a relevant income tax treaty should consult their own tax advisers concerning their eligibility for benefits under the treaty with respect to the Bonds or the Reference Shares.

EU Directive on the Taxation of Savings Income

The Council of the European Union has adopted a new directive regarding the taxation of savings income. Member States are required from January 1, 2008 to provide to the tax authorities of other Member States details of payments of interest (or other similar income) paid by a person within its jurisdiction to or for the benefit of an individual resident in that other Member State, except that Belgium, Luxembourg and Austria will instead operate a withholding system for a transitional period in relation to such payments unless during such period they elect otherwise.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We and the Initial Purchasers named below have entered into a purchase agreement dated January 20, 2011 with respect to the Bonds (the "Purchase Agreement"). Goldman Sachs International, UBS AG, Hong Kong Branch and Citigroup Global Markets Limited are acting as join book running managers of the offering and as representatives of the Initial Purchasers. Subject to certain conditions set out in the Purchase Agreement, each of the Initial Purchasers has, severally but not jointly, agreed to purchase from us, and we have agreed to sell to each of the Initial Purchasers, the amount of Bonds indicated in the following table.

Initial PurchasersPrincipal Amount
Goldman Sachs InternationalUS$300,000,000
UBS AG, Hong Kong Branch56,250,000
Citigroup Global Markets Limited18,750,000
BNP Paribas Capital (Asia Pacific) Limited.0
Mizuho International plc0
TotalUS$375,000,000

The Purchase Agreement provides that the obligation of the Initial Purchasers to pay for and accept delivery of the Bonds is subject to certain conditions, including delivery of certain legal opinion. The Initial Purchasers are committed to purchase and pay for all of the Bonds if any are purchased. If an Initial Purchaser defaults, the purchase agreement provides that the purchase commitments of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers may be increased or the purchase agreement may be terminated.

The purchase price for the Bonds will be the initial offering price set forth on the cover of this offering memorandum, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The Initial Purchasers have agreed to pay the Company an amount of approximately US$430,000 towards the expenses related to the offering of the Bonds. The Initial Purchasers propose to offer the Bonds at the initial offering price. After the initial offering, the Initial Purchasers may vary the offering price and other selling terms from time to time without notice. The Initial Purchasers reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.

We have agreed to indemnify each of the Initial Purchasers against certain losses, claims, damages or liabilities under the Securities Act in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.

The Bonds, the Reference Shares and Exchange Property Securities have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act for offer or sale as part of their distribution and may not be offered or sold within the United States except in certain transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

We have been advised by the Initial Purchasers that each of the Initial Purchasers proposes to resell the Bonds outside the United States in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S and in accordance with applicable law. Terms used above have the meanings given to them by Regulation S.

The Bonds are a new issue of securities with no established trading market. Approval in-principle has been received for the listing of the Bonds on the SGX-ST. The offering and settlement of the Bonds is not conditioned on approval in-principle being received for the listing of the Bonds on the SGX-ST. We have been advised by the Initial Purchasers that they intend to make a market in the Bonds but are not obligated to do so and may discontinue market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for the Bonds.

We have agreed that until 90 days after the date hereof, we will not, without the Initial Purchasers' prior written consent, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any securities of us and FENC that are substantially similar to the Bonds, the Shares or the

Reference Shares, including but not limited to any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, the Shares or the Reference Shares or any such substantially similar securities.

The foregoing restrictions will not apply to any such offer, sale or disposal:

  • pursuant to employee stock option plans existing on the date hereof; or
  • upon the conversion or exchange of convertible or exchangeable securities outstanding on the date hereof.

In addition, FENC has also agreed that, without the Initial Purchasers' prior written consent, it will not directly or indirectly offer, pledge, sell or enter into an option, swap, right, warrant or other arrangement that transfers or disposes of any Shares or Reference Shares or transfers all or a portion of the economic consequences associated with the ownership of any Shares or Reference Shares until 90 days after the date hereof.

In connection with this offering, the Initial Purchasers may purchase and sell Bonds in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the Initial Purchasers of a greater principal amount of Bonds than they are required to purchase in this offering. "Covered" short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the Initial Purchasers' option to purchase additional Bonds from us in this offering. The Initial Purchasers may close out any covered short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional Bonds or purchasing Bonds in the open market. In determining the source of Bonds to close out the covered short position, the Initial Purchasers will consider, among other things, the price of Bonds available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase Bonds through the over allotment option. "Naked" short sales are any sales in excess of such option. The Initial Purchasers must close out any naked short position by purchasing Bonds in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the Initial Purchasers are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the Bonds in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of the Bonds or the Shares or the Reference Shares made by the Initial Purchasers in the open market prior to the completion of the offering.

Purchases to cover a short position and stabilizing transactions may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our Bonds and together with the imposition of the penalty bid, may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Bonds. As a result, the price of the Bonds may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. Neither we nor any of the Initial Purchasers make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the Bonds. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued at any time. These transactions may be effected on the SGX-ST and in other jurisdictions when it is permissible to do so, in each case in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

In connection with this offering, the Initial Purchasers or any of their affiliates may purchase the Bonds for their own account and enter into transactions, including (i) credit derivatives (including convertible asset swaps, repackaging transactions and credit default swaps) relating to the Bonds and/or our securities or the Reference Shares, and (ii) equity derivatives and stock loan transactions relating to our shares or the Reference Shares. Such transactions may occur either at the same time as the offer and sale of the Bonds, or in secondary market transactions. Such transactions would be carried out as bilateral transactions with selected counter-parties and separately from any existing sale or resale of the Bonds to which this offering memorandum relates (notwithstanding that such selected counter-parties may also be purchasers of the Bonds).

The effect, if any, of any of these transactions and activities on the market price of the Bonds or the Reference Shares will depend in part on market conditions and cannot be ascertained as of the date of this offering memorandum, but any of these activities could adversely affect the value of the Reference Shares and the Bonds and, as a result, the number of shares and value of the consideration that you will receive upon the exchange of the Bonds and, under certain circumstances, your ability to exchange the Bonds.

In addition, such review report are qualified because of the omission of procedures related to certain accounts supporting the subsidiaries and the investments accounted for by the equity-method and include an explanatory paragraph referring to (i) a change in accounting policies, (ii) a lawsuit for the investment of Pacific Liu Tung Investment Corporation and (iii) convenience translation of New Taiwan dollar amounts into U.S. dollar amounts. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Asia Cement Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Asia Cement Corporation (the "Corporation") and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Those rules and standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.

As stated in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Corporation and its subsidiaries adopted Interpretation No. 2007-052 issued by the Accounting Research and Development Foundation of the Republic of China in March 2007 and recognized bonuses to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors as compensation expenses beginning January 1, 2008. These bonuses and remuneration were previously recorded as appropriations from earnings. On July 1, 2008, the subsidiaries of the Corporation adopted the newly amended Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 34, "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" and reclassified certain financial instruments in accordance with the standards. On January 1, 2009, the Corporation and its subsidiaries adopted the newly revised SFAS No. 10, "Accounting for Inventories."

F-2

Our audits also comprehended the translation of the 2009 New Taiwan dollar amounts into U.S. dollar amounts and, in our opinion, such translation has been made in conformity with the basis stated in Note 4. Such U.S. dollar amounts are presented solely for the convenience of readers.

Notice to Readers

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are intended only to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdictions. The standards, procedures and practices to audit such consolidated financial statements are those generally accepted and applied in the Republic of China.

For the convenience of readers, the auditors' report and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China.

c. Subsidiaries not included in the consolidated financial statements: None.

d. All significant transactions among the consolidated entities were eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Current/Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities

Current assets include cash and cash equivalents, and those assets held primarily for trading purposes or to be realized, sold or consumed within one year from the balance sheet date. All other assets such as properties, plant and equipment and intangible assets are classified as noncurrent. Current liabilities are obligations incurred for trading purposes or to be settled within one year from the balance sheet date. All other liabilities are classified as noncurrent.

YLPPC, AEE and AEEPL engage in construction related business, which have operating cycles of over one year. The assets and liabilities of the aforementioned companies related to the construction contracts are classified as current or noncurrent according to their operating cycles.

Cash Equivalents

Commercial papers and bonds sold under repurchase agreements acquired with maturities of up to three months from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents, whose carrying value approximates fair value.

Financial Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value through Profit or Loss

Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets or liabilities held for trading. On initial recognition, the financial instruments are recognized at fair value plus transaction costs and are

subsequently measured at fair value with fair value changes recognized in profit or loss. Cash dividends received, including those received in the year of investment, are recognized as current income. All regular way purchases or sales of the financial instruments are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

A derivative that does not meet the criteria for hedge accounting is classified as held for trading financial assets or liabilities. When the fair value of the derivative is positive, the financial instrument is recognized as financial asset; otherwise, it is recognized as financial liability.

The fair value of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss is determined as follows: (a) listed stocks were based on the closing price on the balance sheet date; (b) beneficiary certificates - open-end-funds were based on the net asset value on the balance sheet date; (c) financial assets and financial liabilities without quoted prices in an active market - at values determined using valuation techniques.

Available-for-sale Financial Assets

On initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. When subsequently measured at fair value, the fair value changes are recognized directly in equity. The cumulative gain or loss that was recognized in equity is recognized in profit or loss when an available-for-sale financial asset is derecognized from the balance sheet. All regular way purchases or sales of the financial instruments are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

The recognition, derecognition and the fair value bases of available-for-sale financial assets are the same with those of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Cash dividends are recognized as dividend income upon the date of resolution of the stockholders, but are accounted for as reductions to the original cost of investments if such dividends are declared on the earnings of investees attributable to periods prior to the purchase of investments. Stock dividends are not recognized as current income but are accounted for only as an increase in the number of shares held. The total number of shares subsequent to the increase is used for recalculation of cost per share.

An impairment loss is recognized when there is objective evidence that the financial asset is impaired. If the amount of impairment loss decreases in the subsequent period, such decrease is recognized in equity.

Revenue Recognition, Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Revenues are recognized when the earnings process is completed or virtually completed, and earnings are realizable and measurable. Related costs of providing services are concurrently recognized as incurred.

Sales revenues are determined at fair value under price negotiated between the Corporation and its subsidiaries and their respective buyers. Electric power revenues are calculated according to the volume of electric power sold and unit price. If the terms of sales receivables are within one year, the amount of receivables is not significantly different from fair value, and the transaction is frequent, then the sales revenues are not discounted to fair value.

Allowance for doubtful receivables is provided on the basis of review of the collectibility of individual notes receivable and accounts receivable according to the aging of receivables, credit records, and economic circumstances of the customers.

Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, supplies, finished goods and work-in-process. Before January 1, 2009, inventories were stated at the lower of cost or market value (replacement cost or net realizable value). Any write-down was made on a category by category basis. Market value meant replacement cost for raw materials and supplies and net realizable value for finished goods and work in process. As stated in Note 3, effective January 1, 2009, inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made item by item, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are stated at weighted-average cost.

F-21

Accounting for Construction Contracts

YLPPC, AEE and AEEPL undertake construction contracts extending over periods of more than one year. For these contracts, construction revenues, construction costs, and construction-in-progress are recognized at the percentage of completion measured by the units-of-work-performed - the ratio of the output achieved to date to the total expected output of contract.

Construction contracts extending over period of less than one year are accounted for by the completed-contract method. Construction revenues and construction costs are recognized only when the contract is completed.

Construction-in-progress is defined as the costs incurred to date on construction contracts being undertaken. Advance Construction Receipts is defined as the proceeds received from the customers for particular contracts not yet completed.

On the balance sheet date, for each contract, excess of construction-in-progress over the related advance construction receipts is classified as current asset; otherwise, excess of advance construction receipts over construction-in-progress is classified as current liability.

Investments Accounted for by Equity-Method

A long-term investment in which the Corporation and its subsidiaries exercise significant influence on the investee is accounted for by equity-method. Under this method, the investment is initially stated at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Corporation's share in the net income or net loss and other changes in stockholders' equity of the investee companies. Cash dividends received are accounted for as reductions in the carrying value of the investments; while stock dividends received are accounted for only as increases in the number of shares held.

As required, however, by the revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 5, "Long-term Investments in Equity Securities," starting on January 1, 2006, the cost of acquisition is subject to an initial analysis. The investment cost in excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets of the investee is recognized as goodwill. Goodwill is no longer amortized but instead tested annually for impairment. An impairment test is also required when there is evidence indicating that goodwill might be impaired due to an event or a change in the economic environment. If the equity in the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the investee exceeds the cost of investments, the excess should be assigned to noncurrent assets proportionate to their respective fair values (except for financial assets not under the equity-method, assets for disposal, deferred income tax assets and prepaid pension costs or other retirement benefit costs). If these assets are all reduced to zero, the remaining excess should be recognized as extraordinary gain. Starting on January 1, 2006, the unamortized balance of the investment cost in excess of the equity in investee's net assets is no longer amortized and is instead subject to the same accounting treatment as that for goodwill; the negative goodwill previously acquired should be amortized over the remaining estimated economic life.

When the Corporation and its subsidiaries subscribe for its investee's newly issued shares at a percentage different from its percentage of ownership in the investee, the Corporation and its subsidiaries record the change in its equity in the investee's net assets as an adjustment to investments, with a corresponding amount credited or charged to capital surplus. When the capital surplus arising from long-term investments is insufficient to cover the changes, the shortage is debited to unappropriated earnings.

The Corporation's equity in equity-method investees' net income or net loss is recognized using the treasury stock method if there are reciprocal holdings between investors and investees.

Costs of stock investments sold are determined using the moving-average method.

Financial Assets Carried at Cost

If there is no active market for an equity instrument and a reliable fair value can not be estimated, the equity instrument, including unlisted stocks, emerging stocks and private placement of securities, etc., is measured at original cost upon initial recognition. Any cash dividends received are recognized as income on the ex-dividend date. Stock dividends received are accounted for only as an increase in the number of shares held but are not recognized as investment income.

Impairment loss should be recognized and charged to current income if there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. This loss can not be reversed.

F-22

^{}[] F-23

Properties and Equipment and Nonoperating Assets

Properties are stated at cost or cost plus revaluation increment, less accumulated depreciation and less accumulated impairment. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed currently.

When properties are retired or disposed of, their costs or costs plus revaluation increment and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and the resulting gains or loss are credited or charged to nonoperating income or loss. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of properties, plant and equipment are capitalized as part of the cost of those assets.

Depreciation is provided on the basis of the fixed-percentage-on-declining-balance method or the straight-line method over the following estimated service lives: buildings and improvements, 3 to 60 years; machinery and equipment, 2 to 25 years; and other equipment, 1 to 25 years. Depreciation of revaluated assets is provided over the remaining service lives of the assets subsequent to the date of the revaluation. The properties that have reached their residual values but are still in use are depreciated over their newly estimated service lives.

Idle assets are stated at the lower of carrying value or net realizable value.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets acquired are initially recorded at cost and are amortized over their estimated useful life except those with indefinite useful life which are not amortized, but instead tested for impairment annually. The useful life of such assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support the indefinite useful life assessment for that asset.

Assets under Lease Contracts

Under a capital lease contract, the present value of the rent to be paid is recognized as a lease asset. Lease payable is classified as other liability. Lease assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over 5 to 8 years rental term. Under the interest method, the amortization of the rent paid periodically is accounted for as lease payable and interest expense.

Under an operating lease contract, rent paid is accounted for as rent expense.

Deferred Charges

Deferred charges are amortized on a straight-line method over the useful life of the respective items.

Asset Impairment

An impairment loss should be recognized if the carrying value of assets (including properties and equipment, nonoperating assets, deferred charges, and equity-method investments) exceeds their recoverable amount, and this impairment loss should be charged to current income. An impairment loss recognized in prior years can be reversed if there is a subsequent recovery in the estimates used to determine recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. However, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the increased amount due to reversal does not exceed the carrying amount of an asset (net of depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized in prior years. If an asset has been revalued in accordance with the laws, its impairment loss should first be deducted from the unrealized revaluation increments under stockholders' equity. The excess loss, if any, will then be recognized as loss in the income statement. However, to the extent that an impairment loss on the same revalued asset was previously recognized as a loss in the income statement because of insufficient revaluation surplus, a reversal of that impairment loss is recognized as a gain in the income statement. Any excess in reversal will be recognized as unrealized revaluation increment under stockholders' equity. However, an impairment loss recognized on goodwill cannot be reversed.

Exchangeable Bonds

Exchangeable bonds (i.e., bonds that can be exchanged for Far Eastern New Century Corporation's (FENC, used to be known as Far Eastern Textile Ltd.)) shares; see Note 17) are measured at total issuance price less the fair value of embedded derivatives. The liability component of bonds is measured at amortized cost

using the straight-line method. Interest and gain (loss) on bond redemption are recognized as current gain or loss. When bonds are exchanged for FENC's shares, the disposal gain or loss is measured at the book value of the liability components (including embedded derivatives). Before the maturity of the bonds, change in fair value of the embedded derivatives is recognized as current gain or loss.

Stock-based Compensation

Employee stock options granted on or after January 1, 2008 are accounted for under SFAS No. 39, "Accounting for Share-based Payment." Under the statement, the value of the stock options granted, which is equal to the best available estimate of the number of stock options expected to vest multiplied by the grant-date fair value, is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to capital surplus - employee stock options. The estimate is revised if subsequent information indicates that the number of stock options expected to vest differs from previous estimates.

Pension Costs

Pension costs under defined benefit pension plan are recognized on the basis of actuarial calculations and pension costs under defined contribution pension plan are recognized on the basis of actual contributions to the individual pension accounts of employees.

If the defined benefit plan is curtailed or settled, the curtailment or settlement gain or loss is recognized as part of the net pension cost for the period.

Government Grants

Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Corporation and its subsidiaries will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.

Government grants whose primary condition is that the Corporation and its subsidiaries should purchase or construct noncurrent assets are recognized as deferred income in the balance sheet and transferred to profit and loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.

Other government grants are recognized as income over the periods necessary to match them with the costs for which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis. Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Corporation and its subsidiaries with no future related costs are recognized in profit and loss in the period in which they become receivable.

Reserve for Settlement of Claims on Traffic Accident

Reserve for settlement of claims on traffic accident is made on the basis of past experience. The reserve is used to settle valid traffic accident claims not covered by insurance. Any payment made in excess of the reserve is charged to current expenses.

Income Tax

The Corporation and its subsidiaries adopted interperiod tax allocation and intraperiod tax allocation. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax effects of temporary differences, unused operating loss carryforwards and unused investment tax credits. Valuation allowances are provided to the extent, if any, that it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be realized. A deferred tax asset or liability is classified as current or noncurrent according to the classification of its related asset or liability. However, if a deferred asset or liability cannot be related to an asset or liability in the financial statements, then it is classified as current or noncurrent based on the expected reversal date of the temporary difference.

Tax credits for certain purchase of equipment and technology, research and development expenditures, personnel training expenditures, and equity investment acquisitions are accounted for by the flow-through method.

Adjustments of prior years' tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year's tax expense.

Income taxes of 10% on undistributed earnings are recorded as expense in the year when the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.

F-24

^{}[] Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation of Foreign-currency Financial Statements

Non-derivative foreign-currency transactions are recorded in New Taiwan dollars at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occur. Exchange differences arising from settlement of foreign currency assets and liabilities are recognized in profit or loss.

If the functional currency of an equity-method investee is a foreign currency, translation adjustments will result from the translation of the investee's financial statements into the reporting currency of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. Such adjustments are accumulated and reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity.

Hedging Derivative Financial Instruments

Hedging derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value. The changes in fair values of these instruments are debited or charged to either stockholders' equity or current income depending on the hedged items. The interest rate swap contracts engaged by the Corporation are for cash flow hedge purpose. The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognized in stockholders' equity. The amount recognized in stockholders' equity is recognized in profit or loss in the same year or years during which the hedged forecast transaction or an asset or liability arising from the hedged forecast transaction affects profit or loss. However, if all or a portion of a loss recognized in stockholders' equity is not expected to be recovered in the future, the amount that is not expected to be recovered is reclassified into profit or loss.

Reclassifications

Certain accounts in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2008 have been reclassified to be consistent with the presentation of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009.

3. REASONS AND EFFECT OF CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

Effect of the First Time Adoption of the Newly Issued and Revised SFASs

In March 2007, the Accounting Research and Development Foundation of Republic of China (the "ARDF") issued Interpretation No. 2007-052, which requires companies to recognize bonuses to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors as compensation expenses beginning January 1, 2008. These bonuses and remuneration were previously recorded as appropriations from earnings. The adoption of this interpretation resulted in a decrease of NT$359,326 thousand in consolidated net income and a decrease in after income tax basic earnings per share of NT$0.12 for the year ended December 31, 2008.

On July 1, 2008, DCI and AIC adopted the newly amended SFAS No. 34, "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement." The amendments to SFAS 34 mainly deal with reclassifications of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss that are held for trading. Please see Note 26 for relevant information regarding reclassifications of financial instruments.

Accounting for Inventories

On January 1, 2009, the Corporation and its subsidiaries adopted the newly revised SFAS No. 10, "Accounting for Inventories." The main revisions are (1) inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and inventories are written down to net realizable value item-by-item except when the grouping of similar or related items is appropriate; (2) unallocated overheads are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred; and (3) abnormal costs, write-downs of inventories and any reversal of write-downs are recorded as cost of goods sold for the period. The adoption resulted in a decrease of NT$115,258 thousand (US$3,695 thousand) in net income and a decrease of NT$0.04 (US$0.001) in after income tax basic earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2009.

4. TRANSLATION INTO U.S. DOLLARS

The consolidated financial statements are stated in New Taiwan dollars. The translations of the 2009 New Taiwan dollar amounts into U.S. dollars are included solely for the convenience of readers, using the noon buying rate of NT$31.19 to US$1.00 published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on September 30, 2010. The convenience translations should not be construed as representations that the New Taiwan dollar amounts have been, could have been, or could in the future be, converted into U.S. dollars at this or any other exchange rate.

^{}[] 19. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

a. Capital surplus

Under government regulations, capital surplus can only be used to offset deficit or for transfer to capital from capital surplus of donation and issue stocks to stockholders on the percentage they owned. The above transfer is restricted to a certain percentage of the capital surplus within one year.

Capital surplus generated from adjustments of investee's equity is restricted to be used.

Dividends payable that remained unclaimed for over five years is reversed to "Capital surplus - donations" account in the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheets.

b. Appropriation of earnings and dividend policy

The Corporation's Articles of Incorporation provide that appropriation for legal reserve should be made at 10% of annual net income after deductions for any deficit. The remainder, less special reserve based on relevant laws and regulations and any portion decided to be retained, together with unappropriated earnings of prior years, should be distributed as follows:

1) Dividends 60%
2) Bonus of stockholders 33%
3) Remuneration to directors and supervisors 3%
4) Employees bonuses 4%

The Corporation's Articles of Incorporation provide that the Corporation shall determine dividend payments taking into account cycles of the industry, capital demand in relation to specific products and services, and changes in taxation regulations. The cash dividend should not be less than 10% of the total of the aforementioned dividends and bonus of stockholders.

These appropriations shall be resolved by the stockholders in the following year and given effect to in the financial statements of that year.

The employees bonus and remuneration to directors and supervisors which estimated 4% and 3% of net income (net of the bonus to employees and bonus to directors and supervisors), respectively, were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009. Material differences between such estimated amounts and the amounts proposed by the Board of Directors in the following year are adjusted for in the current year. If the actual amounts subsequently resolved by the stockholders differ from the proposed amounts, the differences are recorded in the year of stockholders' resolution as a change in accounting estimate. If bonus shares are resolved to be distributed to employees, the number of shares is determined by dividing the amount of bonus by the closing price (after considering the effect of cash and stock dividends) of the shares of the day preceding the stockholders' meeting.

Legal reserve shall be appropriated until it has reached the Corporation's paid-in capital. This reserve may be used to offset a deficit. When the legal reserve has reached 50% of the Corporation's paid-in capital, up to 50% thereof may be transferred to paid-in capital.

Based on a directive issued by the Securities and Futures Bureau, an amount equal to the net debit balance of certain stockholders' equity accounts (including unrealized revaluation increment, unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments, unrecognized loss on pension cost, cumulative transaction adjustments) shall be transferred from unappropriated earnings to a special reserve. Any special reserve appropriated may be reversed to the extent of the decrease in the net debit balance.

Under the Integrated Income Tax System, ROC-resident stockholders are allowed tax credit for the income tax paid by the Corporation on earnings generated since 1998. Tax credits allocated to stockholders are based on the balance of Imputation Credit Account (ICA) on the dividend distribution date.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding for EPS calculation has been retroactively adjusted for the issuance of stock dividends. This adjustment caused the basic after income tax EPS for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008 to decrease from NT$3.69 to NT$3.38 and NT$2.52 to NT$2.45, respectively.

The ARDF issued Interpretation 2007-052 that requires companies to recognize bonuses paid to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors as compensation expenses beginning January 1, 2008. These bonuses were previously recorded as appropriations from earnings. If the Corporation may settle the bonus to employees by cash or shares, the Corporation should presume that the entire amount of the bonuses will be settled in shares and the resulting potential shares should be included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted EPS, if the shares have a dilutive effect. The number of shares is estimated by dividing the entire amount of the bonuses by the closing price of the shares at the balance sheet date. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares should be included in the calculation of diluted EPS until the stockholder resolve the number of shares to be distributed to employees at their meeting in the following year.

24. PENSION

The Pension Plan under the Labor Pension Act (the "LPA") is a defined contribution pension plan. Starting from July 1, 2005, the Corporation, NHC, CHP, YTRMC, FMT, YLPPC, AEE, YLSS, YSRMC and FDT contribute monthly an amount equal to 6% of the employees' monthly wages to the employees' individual pension accounts.

The Pension Plan under the Labor Standards Law (the "LSL") provides for a defined benefit pension plan. This pension plan provides benefits based on the employee's length of service and average salary or wage of six months or last month before retirement. The Corporation and its subsidiaries mentioned above contribute monthly to their respective pension funds amounts equal to 2% to 15% of monthly salaries and wages. The funds are administered by the employees' pension fund committees and deposited in committees' name in the Bank of Taiwan.

The Corporation makes contributions to a pension fund that is deposited in financial institutions or invested in listed stocks by the employees' pension fund committee before October 1986.

The employees of DCI, AIC and FSMS are the same as those of the Corporation. Therefore, DCI, AIC and FSMS had neither pension plans nor actuarial calculations. Subsidiaries incorporated in Hong Kong, Singapore and Mainland China had recognized pension cost under their government's regulations of NT$24,227 thousand, NT$40,525 thousand and NT$48,307 thousand (US$1,549 thousand) for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively.

b. The methods and significant assumptions applied in determining fair values of financial instruments were as follows:

1) Short-term financial instruments (other than short-term investments) - the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivable, other receivables, restricted assets, short-term loans, short-term bills payable, accounts payable and accrued expense, other notes payable, dividends and bonuses payable and lease payment, approximate their fair values because of the short maturities of these instruments.

2) If quoted market prices are available, these are used as fair values of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial assets and investment in listed stocks accounted for by equity-method.

For those instruments with no quoted market prices, their fair values are determined using valuation techniques incorporating estimates and assumptions consistent with those generally used by other market participants to price financial instruments.

3) The fair values of financial assets carried at cost and investment in unlisted stocks accounted for by equity-method with no quoted market prices can not be estimated because related stocks have no active market and a reliable determination of their fair value entails an unreasonably high cost.

4) The fair value of long-term liabilities is measured at present value of expected cash flows. Since the interest rate is floating, fair value approximates carrying value.

5) The fair values of domestic bonds payable and exchangeable bond are based on the over-the-counter quotations and closing prices of Singapore Exchange Ltd. at the end of December, respectively.

6) For refundable deposits paid and guarantee deposits received, fair values are estimated at their carrying amounts.

7) Derivative financial instruments - based on valuation results provided by banks.

f. Information on financial risks:

1) Market risk

The Corporation and its subsidiaries are exposed to market risk since the fair value of financial assets held for trading and available for sale assets held by the Corporation and its subsidiaries are influenced by market price. Interest rates of long term liabilities are floating, thus interest expense is influenced by interest rate fluctuation. The fair value of exchangeable bonds with fixed interest rate is affected by changes in market interest rates.

The interest rate swap ("IRS") contracts are used to hedge interest rate fluctuations on liabilities with fixed interest rates. Since the interest receivable and payable are settled at net amounts on the settlement date, the market risk is immaterial.

2) Credit risk

Credit risk represents the potential impacts to financial assets that the Corporation and its subsidiaries might encounter if counter-parties or third parties breach the contracts. Factors that affect the impacts include credit risk concentration, components of financial instruments, contract amount and other receivables. The Corporation and its subsidiaries' maximum credit

F-55

risk exposure on each financial instrument are the same as the carrying value. The Corporation and its subsidiaries' evaluation of credit risk exposure as of December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009 was immaterial because all counter-parties are reputable financial institutions with good credit ratings.

3) Liquidity risk

The Corporation and its subsidiaries have sufficient operating capital to meet cash flow requirements. Thus, the Corporation and its subsidiaries do not have significant liquidity risk.

The Corporation and its subsidiaries are exposed to liquidity risk because of financial assets carried at cost held by the Corporation and its subsidiaries with no active market. The Corporation and its subsidiaries estimate that the effect is not material since it is a small portion of consolidated assets. The financial assets held for trading and available for sale assets held by the Corporation and its subsidiaries have active markets, thus, the Corporation and its subsidiaries could sell them easily.

4) Cash flow risk from interest rate fluctuations

The Corporation and its subsidiaries have short-term loans and long-term liabilities with floating interest rates. As a result, the effective interest rates on these loans will change as the market interest rates change.

The Corporation and its subsidiaries have sufficient operating capital to meet cash demand, so there is no material fund raising risk. The interest rates of interest rate swap contracts have been fixed, so there is no material cash flow risk.

g. Reclassifications

On July 1, 2008, DCI and AIC reclassified its financial assets in accordance with the newly amended SFAS No. 34, "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement." The fair values at the reclassification date were as follows:

NT$NT$
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss - held for trading$768,601$ —
Available-for-sale financial assets768,601
$768,601$768,601

In view of DCI's and AIC's intention of not selling the abovementioned financial assets held for trading within a short period of time as a result of the economic instability and deterioration of the world's financial markets that has occurred during the third quarter of 2008, DCI and AIC reclassified these held for trading financial assets to available-for-sale financial assets.

The carrying amounts and fair values of the reclassified financial assets (excluding those that had been derecognized) as of December 31, 2008 and 2009 were as follows:

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Asia Cement Corporation

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Asia Cement Corporation (the "Corporation") and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 2009 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the nine months then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these financial statements based on our reviews.

Except as the matters stated in the next paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with Statement of Auditing Standards No. 36, "Review of Financial Statements," of the Republic of China. A review consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

As stated in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of certain consolidated subsidiaries as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 have not been reviewed. As of September 30, 2009 and 2010, the total assets of these subsidiaries were 61% (NT$ 93,192,024 thousand) and 64% (NT$105,549,744 thousand (US$ 3,384,089 thousand)) and total liabilities of these subsidiaries were 55% (NT$37,946,121 thousand) and 61% (NT$47,037,966 thousand (US$ 1,508,110 thousand) of the related consolidated amounts as of September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The total net operating revenue of these subsidiaries were 82% (NT$29,147,999 thousand) and 86% (NT$31,681,773 thousand (US$1,015,767 thousand), respectively, of consolidated net operating revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010 and their net incomes were 59% (NT$4,421,627 thousand) and 49% (NT$2,647,264 thousand (US$84,875 thousand), respectively, of consolidated net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010. Furthermore, as stated in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of certain equity-method investments as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010 have not been reviewed. The aggregate carrying value of these equity-method investments were NT$12,188,096 thousand and NT$13,095,589 thousand (US$419,865 thousand) as of September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively, and the investment income from equity-method investees were NT$491,957 thousand and NT$770,855 thousand (US$24,715 thousand), for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The additional disclosures of the aforementioned subsidiaries in Note 25 were also based on the unreviewed financial statements.

Based on our reviews, except for the effects of such adjustments, if any, that might have been determined to be necessary had the subsidiaries' and investees' financial statements mentioned in the preceding paragraph been reviewed, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to in the first paragraph for them to be in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, Order No. VI-0960064020 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the ROC Executive Yuan on November 15, 2007, and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.

As stated in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, on January 1, 2009, the Corporation and its subsidiaries adopted the newly revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 10, "Accounting for Inventories."

Our reviews also comprehended the translation of the New Taiwan dollar amounts into U.S. dollar amounts and, in our opinion, such translation has been made in conformity with the basis stated in Note 3. Such U.S. dollar amounts are presented solely for the convenience of readers.

2. REASONS AND EFFECT OF CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

Accounting for Inventories

On January 1, 2009, the Corporation and its subsidiaries adopted the newly revised SFAS No. 10, "Accounting for Inventories." The main revisions are (1) inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and inventories are written down to net realizable value item-by-item except when the grouping of similar or related items is appropriate; (2) unallocated overheads are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred; and (3) abnormal costs, write-downs of inventories and any reversal of write-downs are recorded as cost of goods sold for the period. The adoption of SFAS No. 10 had no material effect on the consolidated net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

3. TRANSLATION INTO U.S. DOLLARS

The consolidated financial statements are stated in New Taiwan Dollars. The translations of the 2010 New Taiwan dollar amounts into U.S. dollars are included solely for the convenience of readers, using the noon buying rate of NT$31.19 to US$1.00 published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on September 30, 2010. The convenience translations should not be construed as representations that the New Taiwan dollar amounts have been, could have been, or could in the future be, converted into U.S. dollars at this or any other exchange rate.

These appropriations shall be resolved by the stockholders in the following year and given effect to in the financial statements of that year.

The employees' bonus and remuneration to directors and supervisors which estimated 4% and 3% of net income (net of the bonus to employees and bonus to directors and supervisors), respectively, were recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010. Material differences between such estimated amounts and the amounts proposed by the Board of Directors in the following year are adjusted for in the current year. If the actual amounts subsequently resolved by the stockholders differ from the proposed amounts, the differences are recorded in the year of stockholders' resolution as a change in accounting estimate. If bonus shares are resolved to be distributed to employees, the number of shares is determined by dividing the amount of bonus by the closing price (after considering the effect of cash and stock dividends) of the shares of the day preceding the stockholders' meeting.

Legal reserve shall be appropriated until it has reached the Corporation's paid-in capital. This reserve may be used to offset a deficit. When the legal reserve has reached 50% of the Corporation's paid-in capital, up to 50% thereof may be transferred to paid-in capital.

F-193

Based on a directive issued by the Securities and Futures Bureau, an amount equal to the net debit balance of certain stockholders' equity accounts (including unrealized revaluation increment, unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments, unrecognized loss on pension cost, cumulative transaction adjustments) shall be transferred from unappropriated earnings to a special reserve. Any special reserve appropriated may be reversed to the extent of the decrease in the net debit balance.

Under the Integrated Income Tax System, ROC-resident stockholders are allowed tax credit for the income tax paid by the Corporation on earnings generated since 1998. Tax credits allocated to stockholders are based on the balance of Imputation Credit Account (ICA) on the dividend distribution date.

The appropriations of the earnings and dividends per share of 2008 and 2009 were approved in the stockholders' meetings on June 9, 2009 and June 8, 2010, respectively, as follows:

18. EMPLOYEES STOCK OPTION PLANS

In April 2008, 11,578 thousand units of ACCHC options were granted to qualified employees of ACCHC and its subsidiaries. Each option entitles the holder to subscribe for one common shares of ACCHC when exercisable. The options granted are valid for 6 years and exercisable at certain percentages after the first anniversary year from the grant date. The options were granted at an exercise price equal to the closing price of ACCHC's common shares listed on the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited on the grant date. For any subsequent changes in ACCHC's paid-in capital, the exercise price and the number of options are adjusted accordingly.

The weighted average number of stocks outstanding for EPS calculation has been retroactively adjusted for the issuance of stock dividends. This adjustment caused the basic after income tax EPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to decrease from NT$2.22 to NT$2.15.

The ARDF issued Interpretation 2007-052 that requires companies to recognize bonuses paid to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors as compensation expenses beginning January 1, 2008. These bonuses were previously recorded as appropriations from earnings. If the Corporation may settle the bonus to employees by cash or shares, the Corporation should presume that the entire amount of the bonuses will be settled in shares and the resulting potential shares should be included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted EPS, if the shares have a dilutive effect. The number of shares is estimated by dividing the entire amount of the bonuses by the closing price of the shares at the balance sheet date. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares should be included in the calculation of diluted EPS until the stockholder resolve the number of shares to be distributed to employees at their meeting in the following year.

b. The methods and significant assumptions applied in determining fair values of financial instruments were as follows:

1) Short-term financial instruments (other than short-term investments) - the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivable, other receivables, restricted assets, short-term loans, short-term bills payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, dividends and bonus payable and lease payment, approximate their fair values because of the short maturities of these instruments.

2) If quoted market prices are available, these are used as fair values of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial assets and investment in listed stocks accounted for by equity-method.

For those instruments with no quoted market prices, their fair values are determined using valuation techniques incorporating estimates and assumptions consistent with those generally used by other market participants to price financial instruments.

3) The fair values of financial assets carried at cost and investment in unlisted stocks accounted for by equity-method with no quoted market prices can not be estimated because related stocks have no active market and a reliable determination of their fair value entails an unreasonably high cost.

4) The fair value of long-term liabilities is measured at present value of expected cash flows. Since the interest rate is floating, fair value approximates carrying value.

5) The fair values of domestic bonds payable and exchangeable bond are based on the over-the-counter quotations and closing prices of Singapore Exchange Ltd. at the end of September, respectively.

6) For refundable deposits paid and guarantee deposits received, fair values are estimated at their carrying amounts.

7) Derivative financial instruments - based on valuation results provided by banks.

d. Valuation gains and losses arising from changes in fair value of financial instruments determined using valuation techniques were losses of NT$137,294 thousand and gains of NT$45,066 thousand (US$1,445 thousand) for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

e. The financial assets exposed to fair value interest rate risk amounted to NT$8,686,896 thousand and NT$2,125,650 thousand (US$68,152 thousand) as of September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively, and the financial liabilities exposed to fair value interest rate risk amounted to NT$27,907,336 thousand and NT$27,396,940 thousand (US$878,389 thousand) as of September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The financial assets exposed to cash flow interest rate risk amounted to NT$4,933,398 thousand and NT$3,446,067 thousand (US$110,486 thousand) as of September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively, and the financial liabilities exposed to cash flow interest rate risk amounted to NT$31,401,999 thousand and NT$37,013,932 thousand (US$1,186,724 thousand) as of September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

f. Information on financial risks:

1) Market risk

The Corporation and its subsidiaries are exposed to market risk since the fair value of financial assets held for trading and available for sale assets held by the Corporation and its subsidiaries are influenced by market price. Interest rates of long term liabilities are floating, thus interest expense is influenced by interest rate fluctuation. The fair value of exchangeable bonds with fixed interest rate is affected by changes in market interest rates.

The interest rate swap ("IRS") contracts are used to hedge interest rate fluctuations on liabilities with fixed interest rates. Since the interest receivable and payable are settled at net amounts on the settlement date, the market risk is immaterial.

The cross-currency swap ("CCS") contracts are used to hedge exposures due to exchange rate fluctuations on probable transaction.

2) Credit risk

Credit risk represents the potential impacts to financial assets that the Corporation and its subsidiaries might encounter if counter-parties or third parties breach the contracts. Factors that affect the impacts include credit risk concentration, components of financial instruments, contract amount and other receivables. The Corporation and its subsidiaries' maximum credit risk exposure on each financial instrument are the same as the carrying value. The Corporation and its subsidiaries' evaluation of credit risk exposure as of September 30, 2009 and 2010 was immaterial because all counter-parties are reputable financial institutions with good credit ratings.

F-200

^{}[] F-201

3) Liquidity risk

The Corporation and its subsidiaries have sufficient operating capital to meet cash flow requirements. Thus, the Corporation and its subsidiaries do not have significant liquidity risk.

The Corporation and its subsidiaries are exposed to liquidity risk because of financial assets carried at cost held by the Corporation and its subsidiaries with no active market. The Corporation and its subsidiaries estimate that the effect is not material since it is a small portion of consolidated assets. The financial assets held for trading and available for sale assets held by the Corporation and its subsidiaries have active markets, thus, the Corporation and its subsidiaries could sell them easily.

4) Cash flow risk from interest rate fluctuations

The Corporation and its subsidiaries have short-term loans and long-term liabilities with floating interest rates. As a result, the effective interest rates on these loans will change as the market interest rates change.

The Corporation and its subsidiaries have sufficient operating capital to meet cash demand, so there is no material fund raising risk. The interest rates of interest rate swap contracts have been fixed, so there is no material cash flow risk.

g. Reclassifications

On July 1, 2008, DCI and AIC reclassified its financial assets in accordance with the newly amended SFAS No. 34, "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement." The fair values at the reclassification date were as follows:

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss - held for trading$ 768,601$ —

In view of DCI's and AIC's intention of not selling the abovementioned financial assets held for trading within a short period of time as a result of the economic instability and deterioration of the world's financial markets that has occurred during the third quarter of 2008, DCI and AIC reclassified these held for trading financial assets to available-for-sale financial assets.

The carrying amounts and fair values of the reclassified financial assets (excluding those that had been derecognized) as of September 30, 2009 and 2010 were as follows:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Far Eastern New Century Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Far Eastern New Century Corporation (the "Company," formerly Far Eastern Textile Ltd.) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the management of the Company. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. However, we did not audit the financial statements of certain consolidated subsidiaries. These subsidiaries' total assets, as shown in their financial statements, were 2.08% (NT$5,670,484 thousand), 0.44% (NT$1,184,885 thousand) and 0.62% (NT$1,665,591 thousand (US$53,401 thousand)) of the consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively. Their total net operating revenues were 0.63% (NT$1,026,337 thousand), 0.80% (NT$1,386,838 thousand) and 1.17% (NT$1,945,364 thousand (US$62,371 thousand)) of the consolidated net operating revenues in 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively. We also did not audit the financial statements of certain equity-method investees. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the carrying values of these investments were 1.00% (NT$2,715,202 thousand), 0.61% (NT$1,638,901 thousand) and 0.63% (NT$1,679,783 thousand (US$53,856 thousand)) of the consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively. The Company's investment loss from equity-method investees was (0.97%) (NT$200,641 thousand), investment income from equity-method investees was 1.18% (NT$155,901 thousand) and 0.95% (NT$172,676 thousand (US$5,536 thousand)) of the consolidated income before income tax in 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively. The financial statements of the foregoing consolidated subsidiaries and equity-method investees were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the consolidated subsidiaries and other equity-method investees, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Those rules and standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the reports of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.

As disclosed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, on January 1, 2007, the Company and subsidiaries adopted the newly released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("Statement" or SFAS) No. 37 - "Intangible Assets" and related revisions of previously released Statements. In addition, in March 2007, the Accounting Research and Development Foundation issued Interpretation 2007-052, which requires companies to recognize bonuses paid to employees, directors and supervisors as compensation expenses beginning January 1, 2008. These bonuses were previously recorded as appropriations from earnings. This accounting change resulted in decreases of NT$431,123 thousand in consolidated net income attributable to stockholders of parent company and of NT$0.09 in basic earnings per share after income tax in 2008. On January 1, 2009, the Company and subsidiaries adopted the newly revised SFAS No. 10 - "Inventories." This accounting change resulted in decreases of NT$132,664 thousand (US$4,253 thousand) in consolidated net income attributable to stockholders of parent company and of NT$0.03 (US$0.001) in basic earnings per share after income tax in 2009.

Note 34 describes a case related to the Department of Commerce's nullification of Pacific Liu Tung Investment Corporation's (PLT, an equity-method investee of the Company) registration of capital increase and other relevant registrations and the impact of this case on the Company's controlling interest and several share subscriptions done by the Company and its subsidiaries, which are the investors of PLT, will depend on the final judgment of the court.

Our audits also comprehended the translation of the 2009 New Taiwan dollar amounts into U.S. dollar amounts and, in our opinion, such translation has been made in conformity with the basis stated in Note 3. Such U.S. dollar amounts are presented solely for the convenience of readers.

March 5, 2010 (except for Note 3 - translation into
U.S. Dollars, as to which the date is September 30, 2010)

For the convenience of readers, the auditors' report and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language auditors' report and consolidated financial statements shall prevail.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007, 2008 AND 2009
(In Thousands, Unless Stated Otherwise)

1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

Far Eastern New Century Corporation (formerly Far Eastern Textile Ltd.) ("FENC" or the "Company"), established in 1954, manufactures and sells polyester materials, semifinished products and finished goods such as cotton, synthetic or blended fabrics, towels and bedsheets, and woven and knitted garments; PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles and PET sheets; and natural, synthetic or blended yarns and polyester textured yarns. It also does yarn, silk and cloth printing and dyeing, as well as manufactures optoelectronics films mainly used for LCD touch panels.

The Company's stock is listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. On October 19, 1999, the Company issued global depositary receipts (GDRs), which became listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. On October 13, 2009, the stockholders resolved to change their company's name of Far Eastern Textile Ltd. to Far Eastern New Century Corporation; thus, the original stock symbol of FETL was changed to FENC.

Following are FENC's consolidated subsidiaries:

Far EasTone Telecommunications Co., Ltd. ("Far EasTone") was incorporated in the Republic of China on April 11, 1997 and began commercial operations on January 20, 1998. Far EasTone's shares began to be traded on the Taiwan Over-the-Counter Securities Exchange (known as Gre Tai Securities Market) on December 10, 2001. Later, Far EasTone's shares ceased to be traded on the Gre Tai Securities Market and became listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange on August 24, 2005. Far EasTone provides wireless communications, leased circuit, Internet and international simple resale (ISR) services and also sells cellular phone equipment and accessories.

Far EasTone provides 2G (second-generation wireless communications services) by geographical sector under two type I licenses - GSM900 for the northern region of Taiwan and GSM1800 island-wide ("GSM" means "global system for mobile communications") - issued by the Directorate General of Telecommunications (DGT) of the Republic of China ("ROC"). These licenses allow Far EasTone to provide services for 15 years from 1997, with an annual license fee of 2% of total 2G wireless communications service revenues.

The DGT also issued to Far EasTone a type II license in 1999, allowing it to provide Internet and ISR services until December 2012 and requiring it to pay annual license fees based on the regulations for each service. Far EasTone is also licensed to provide local/domestic long-distance land cable leased circuit services for 15 years from January 2003 for an annual license fee of 1% of leased circuit service revenues.

On December 28, 2009, the National Communications Commission (NCC) awarded Far EasTone a six-year WiMAX (worldwide interoperability for microwave access) license in the southern region of Taiwan, and Far EasTone began its commercial operation of WiMAX service. Far EasTone has to pay an annual license fee that is equal to WiMAX service revenues multiplied by the bidding percentage (4.18%), but the annual license fee should not be less than a specified minimum amount.

Far EasTone merged with Yuan-Ze Telecommunications Co., Ltd. ("Yuan-Ze Telecom") on May 2, 2005. Earlier, in 2002, Yuan-Ze Telecom received from the DGT the 3G (third-generation wireless communications system) concession, with a bidding price of NT$10,169,000 thousand, included in intangible assets - 3G concession. On January 24, 2005, the DGT issued to Yuan-Ze Telecom a 3G license, which is valid through December 31, 2018. Through the completion of the merger with Yuan-Ze Telecom, Far EasTone became licensed to provide 3G wireless communications service and began commercial operations on July 13, 2005.

To enhance the return of stockholders' equities, Far EasTone's board of directors proposed on April 30, 2007 to reduce capital by returning NT$7,745,326 thousand in cash to stockholders and decreasing common stock by 774,532 thousand shares. The capital reduction was approved by the stockholders' meeting on June 12, 2007. The capital reduction ratio was 19.204715% and the cash return per share was around NT$1.9204715. Paid-in capital after the capital reduction was NT$32,585,008 thousand. Far EasTone's

board of directors resolved January 15, 2008 as the record date of the capital reduction. On January 22, 2008, this capital reduction was registered with the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA). The authority also approved March 17, 2008 as the share exchange date of the capital reduction. The foregoing payable amounts due to the capital reduction were fully paid.

On June 16, 2009, the stockholders resolved that Far EasTone could issue up to 444,341 thousand common shares by private placement, with a total issuance amount of up to NT$17,773,641 thousand (US$569,851 thousand), to catch up on industry development trends and to meet Far EasTone's future operating needs. The subscriber for these privately placed shares is China Mobile Limited's 100% indirect subsidiary incorporated in the ROC. On June 26, 2009, Far EasTone's board of directors resolved to set the private placement price at NT$40.00 (US$1.28) per share. However, based on certain agreements, if the volume weighted-average price of the common shares of Far EasTone within 14 consecutive trading days on or before the date on which either China Mobile Limited or Far EasTone sends the notice to the other party of the settlement date of the private placement falls below NT$35.00 (US$1.12) or exceeds NT$50.00 (US$1.6), the stockholders' meeting of Far EasTone's had resolved to designate the board of directors to negotiate with China Mobile Limited in good faith to set a new private placement price per share of Far EasTone, but any upward or downward adjustments of Far EasTone's private placement price per share should not be more than NT$5.00 (US$0.16). Far EasTone will proceed the private placement after obtaining the authorities' approval under the related regulation.

KG Telecommunication Co., Ltd. ("KG Telecom"), formerly Yuan Ho Telecommunications Co., Ltd., was incorporated in the ROC on September 25, 2003. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Far EasTone. On January 1, 2004, KG Telecom merged with the former KG Telecommunications Co., Ltd. (the "former KGT") through a two-step merger agreement. The merger was completed on May 20, 2004 after the registration with the MOEA.

The former KGT provides 2G wireless communications services under a type I license - GSM1800 for the northern region of Taiwan issued by the DGT. The license allows the former KGT to provide services for 15 years from 1997, with an annual license fee at 2% of total 2G wireless communications service revenues. Moreover, the merger of former KGT with TUNTEX (with a license of 2G to provide wireless communications service under a type I license - GSM1800 for the central and southern region of Taiwan issued by the DGT) is effective from January 1, 2000. Thus, the former KGT provided island-wide 2G wireless communications services under a type I license - GSM1800. The DGT also issued the former KGT a type I license, allowing it to provide local/domestic long distance land cable leased circuit services for 15 years from September 2000, with an annual license fee of 1% of leased circuit service revenues.

To integrate the resources and enhance the operating efficiency of Far EasTone and KG Telecom, the boards of directors of both companies resolved their merger on February 26, 2009, with Far EasTone as the successor entity. On August 28, 2009, the National Communications Commission approved this merger, and the record date of this merger was January 1, 2010.

On February 14, 2007, the board of directors of Far EasTone approved a cooperation plan with Q-ware System Inc. ("Q-ware") to operate WiFly and other businesses agreed upon by both Far EasTone and Q-ware. After obtaining the authorities' approval of this agreement, Far EasTone, as a specific person, subscribed for 36,460 thousand newly issued shares (NT$13.60 per share) of Q-ware Com. for NT$495,855 thousand on July 2, 2007. On July 3, 2007, Q-ware spun off its WiFly business, with a net worth of NT$349,301 thousand, to Q-ware Com. and received 34,930 thousand new shares of Q-ware Com. for this spin-off. Q-ware Com. got the right to provide WiFly business in Taipei City through this spin-off until September 7, 2013 with an annual fee at 3% of total WiFly revenues. Moreover, the NCC issued to Q-ware Com. a Type II license, allowing it to provide Internet services for three years from May 2007 for a fixed annual license fee based on Q-ware Com.'s paid-in capital. After the completion of this spin-off, Far EasTone owned approximately 51% of Q-ware Com.'s common stock and thus became its parent company. Q-ware's revenues and expenses were included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.

Far EasTron was incorporated in the R.O.C. on August 12, 2005. Far EasTron mainly provides Internet content providing services. To enhance the Group's (Company and consolidated subsidiaries) market share of Internet advertisements and integrate the Group's resources, the stockholders of Far EasTron resolved on April 21, 2008 for Far EasTron to have a share swap with ADCast Interactive Marketing Co., Ltd. ("ADCast"), a subsidiary of New Century Infocomm Tech Co., Ltd. ("NCIC"), with ADCast as the successor entity. After ADCast's capital reduction, Far EasTron's stockholders will receive 1 share of ADCast for every 4.8526 shares of Far EasTron. However, in their special meeting on August 29, 2008, Far EasTron's stockholders revised the share swap ratio to 5.4490:1. In addition, Far EasTron's board of directors resolved

F-273

to have September 3, 2008 as the merger date. The share swap was completed on September 30, 2008 after the related registration with the Taipei City Government. After the share swap, Far EasTone, Far EasTron Holding and KG Telecom owned 69.08% of ADCast's common stock; thus, Far EasTone became ADCast's parent company. The accounts of ADCast's revenues and expenses were included in the consolidated financial statements since September 3, 2010 and the accounts of Far EasTron's revenues and expenses for the period from January 1, 2008 to September 2, 2010 were also included in the consolidated statements.

On May 7, 2008, KGTI's stockholders approved the board of directors' proposal to dissolve KGTI, and on May 27, 2008, the authorities of the British Virgin Islands approved this dissolution.

On December 3 and 11, 2007, Oriental Resources Development Ltd. ("ORDL," the former TRC) conducted a capital reduction to offset the deficit of NT$20,000 thousand and a capital increase of NT$250,000 thousand. Since Yuan Ding Investment Co., Ltd. ("YDI") acquired 16,000 thousand shares under the premise of non-proportional investment in ORDL's increase in capital, the percentage of ownership was decreased from 100% to 70.32%.

In March 21, 2007, the Company bought 600 thousand common shares that were newly issued by Far Eastern Investment (Holding) Ltd. ("FEIH") for NT$1,592,160 thousand at US$80.00 per share.

FENC and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the "Group") had 18,434, 21,170 and 20,834 employees as of December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively.

The intercompany relationships, percentages of ownership and major operations of subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 are shown in Schedules A and B.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China. In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with these guidelines and principles, the Group is required to make certain estimates and assumptions that could affect the allowance for doubtful accounts, provision for loss on decline in value of inventories, depreciation of fixed asset and rental properties, impairment loss on asset, duty on decommissioned asset, warranty reserve income tax, pension cost, employee bonus, remuneration to directors and supervisors and so on. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The Group's significant accounting policies are summarized as follows:

FENC's direct and indirect subsidiaries (i.e., investees with more than 50% of their voting shares owned by FENC or defacto control) are included in the consolidated financial statements. For subsidiaries acquired during the reporting period, their revenues and expenses generated before the acquisition date need not be consolidated. If FENC loses control over its subsidiaries during the reporting period, their revenues and expenses generated after the control lose date need not be consolidated.

All significant intercompany transactions and balances were excluded from the consolidation.

The Group lost control on Pacific Petrochemical (Holding) Ltd. and the percentage of ownership had decreased from 39.40% to 24.63% since they did not purchased any common share newly issued in 2008.

F-275

The Company and its related party Invista S.à r.l. established a joint venture, Invista-Far Eastern Petrochemicals Co., Ltd. ("Invista"), to produce purified terephthalic acid (PTA). In March 2008, the Company sold to Yue Ding Industry Co., Ltd. 14,235 thousand shares, part of its holding in Oriental Petrochemical (Taiwan) Co., Ltd. ("OPTC," the former Invista) for NT$135,532 thousand. However, PTA production was no longer the strategic core business of Invista in Taiwan, so, on October 6, 2008, Invista sold its remaining 70% equity in Invista for US$1.00 to YDI (60%), Yue Ding Industry Co., Ltd. (10%), and OUCC (30%). On October 6, 2008, YDI then acquired 42% equity interest for NT$19 and Invista was later renamed OPTC. As of October 6, 2008, the Group had totally 60% of OPTC's ownership and started to include OPTC's accounts in the consolidation financial statements. After the entire equity of Invista S.à r.l. was sold off, Invista S.à r.l. continued giving its technical support to OPTC. On October 21, 2008, OPTC's stockholders resolved to reduce its capital to offset its deficits of NT$4,208,367 thousand and then raise capital by NT$3,800,000 thousand cash. Thus, the Company's holding of OPTC shares declined by 252,501 thousand shares, but the Company's purchase of 318,000 thousand shares of OPTC's newly issued common stock for NT$3,180,000 thousand resulted in an increase in the Company's equity in OPTC from 60% to 80.76%.

At the same time, a related party of Invista sold its 50% equity interest in Far Eastern-Invista Co., Ltd. ("Far Eastern-Invista," a manufacturer of Nylon-66) to YDI for US$1.00. YDI acquired 50% equity interest in Far Eastern-Invista Co., Ltd. for NT$31.00 and then Far Eastern-Invista was renamed Far Eastern Fibertech Co., Ltd. ("FEFC"). The percentage of YDI's equity interest of Far Eastern Fibertech Co., Ltd., increased from 50% to 100%, and the accounts of this investee was thus included in the consolidated financial statements as of October 6, 2008.

In February 2009, an FENC subsidiary, Sino Belgium (Holding) Ltd. ("SINO"), acquired 30% ownership of Martens Beer Trading (Shanghai) Ltd. ("Martens Shanghai") from another subsidiary, Far Eastern Industries (Wuxi) Ltd. ("FEIW"), and then bought the rest of the 70% ownership from the original stockholder, Martens HK Ltd. Thus, the interest of the Company and the subsidiary in Martens Shanghai increased from 30% to 100% and the accounts of this investee were included in the consolidated financial statements beginning from March 2009.

Yuan Cing Infocomm Tech Co., Ltd. ("YCIC") was incorporated on December 30, 2009. It is wholly owned by Far EasTone. YCIC provides production and sales of communications products.

An FENC subsidiary, SINO issued 2,415 new shares at US$2 thousand per share amounting to US$4,830 thousand. Another subsidiary, Yuan Tong didn't buy any shares; thus, Yuan Tong's holding in SINO decreased from 100% to 87.5%.

On July 31, 2009, the board of Far Eastern Industries (Jujiang) Ltd. ("FEIJ," an FENC subsidiary), decided to liquidate FEIJ, and the government of the People's Republic of China approved this liquidation on December 14, 2009. As of December 31, 2009, the liquidation amounts had been returned to the original stockholders.

In the consolidation, the financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries are translated from their respective functional currencies into New Taiwan dollars as follows:

a. All assets and liabilities at the exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date.
b. Share capital, retained earnings and/or accumulated deficit at their historical exchange rates.
c. All items in the statement of income at the average exchange rates for the periods.

The entities in the "Consolidated Financial Statements of Affiliates" are the same as those in the consolidated financial statements as required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("Statement" or "SFAS") No. 7 - "Consolidated Financial Statements"; thus, no consolidated financial statements of affiliates will be compiled. That is, the information needed in the combined financial statements of affiliates is enclosed in the consolidated financial statements.

Current and Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities

Current assets are cash or cash equivalents, assets held mainly for trading and other assets to be converted into cash or consumed within 12 months after the balance sheet date. All other assets such as properties and intangible assets are classified as noncurrent. Current liabilities are obligations to be settled within 12 months after the balance sheet date. All other liabilities are classified as noncurrent.

F-276

Far Eastern Construction Co., Ltd. ("FECC") authorizes constructors to build houses for sale or rent. Far Eastern General Contractor Inc. ("FEGC") engages in civil engineering construction. The operating cycles of the two companies' contracts are over one year. Thus, the contract-related assets and liabilities are classified as current or noncurrent depending on their operating cycles.

Cash Equivalents

Commercial paper and bonds purchased under resell agreements acquired with maturities of up to three months from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. Their carrying values approximate their fair values.

Financial Instruments at Fair Value through Profit or Loss

Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets or liabilities held for trading and those designated on initial recognition as measured at fair value with fair value changes in profit or loss.

The Company recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability on its balance sheet when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. A financial asset is derecognized when the Company has lost control of its contractual rights over the financial asset. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.

On initial recognition, the financial instruments are measured at fair value plus transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets. Subsequent changes in fair value are recognized as current gain or loss. Cash dividends received within a year from the investment acquisition date and received in subsequent years are all accounted for as investment income. When the financial instruments are derecognized, the difference between selling price and carrying value or the amount paid and carrying amount is recognized as current gain or loss. The regular purchase or sale of financial instruments is recognized or de-recognized using trade date accounting.

If derivative financial instruments do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting, they were classified as financial assets or liabilities held for trading purposes. They were classified as financial assets when the fair value was positive; otherwise they were classified as financial liabilities.

The fair values of listed securities and mutual funds are determined at their closing prices and net asset values, respectively, as of the balance sheet date. The fair values of cotton futures contracts, currency option contracts and forward exchange contracts are determined at their market quotation on the balance sheet date. The fair values of financial instruments with no quoted market prices are determined at values determined using valuation techniques.

Available-for-sale Financial Assets

On initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are recorded at fair values plus transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets. Gain or loss due to changes in fair value is recognized as adjustments to stockholders' equity, and the related cumulative gain or loss should be recognized in profit or loss in the period when the financial asset is de-recognized. The regular purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized or de-recognized using trade date accounting.

The timing of recognition and derecognition of available-for-sale financial assets is the same as that of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss.

The fair values of listed securities and mutual funds are determined at their closing prices and net asset values, respectively, as of the balance sheet date.

Any cash dividends received are recognized as income on the date of the stockholders' meeting or on the ex-dividend date, but dividends declared from earnings before investment acquisition are recognized as a reduction of the carrying value of the investments. Stock dividends received are accounted for only as an increase in the number of shares held but are not recognized as investment income. The carrying amount of shares held is recalculated on the basis of the total number of shares held after stock dividends are received.

An impairment loss should be recognized if there is objective evidence showing that an available-for-sale financial asset is impaired. This impairment loss can be reversed to the extent of the original carrying value and recognized as an adjustment to stockholders' equity.

F-277

^{}[] Bond Investments with No Active Market

Bonds with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Bonds are initially measured fair value plus transaction costs directly attributable to bond acquisition. Gains or losses are recognized when the bonds are derecognized, impaired or amortized. All regular purchases or sales of bonds are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

An impairment loss should be recognized if there is objective evidence that bonds are impaired. The impairment loss is reversed if an increase in the bonds' recoverable amount is due to an event which occurred after the impairment loss was recognized; however, the adjusted carrying amount of the bonds may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the bonds in prior years.

Revenue Recognition, Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Revenue is recognized when the earnings process is completed or virtually completed and the revenue is realized or realizable. The costs of providing services are recognized as incurred. Usage revenues (equal to the excess of minutes of traffic included in the fixed monthly service fees) from wireless services and mobile virtual network operator services, international simple resale services, internet access services and interconnection calls, net of any applicable discount, are billed according to customers' usage and are recognized on the basis of minutes of traffic processed. Other revenues are recognized as follows: (a) fixed monthly service fees and leased-circuit service revenues are accrued each month; (b) prepaid call and recharge call services are recognized as income based upon customer usage; (c) one-time commission and subsidy revenue of a bundled contract (which covers both the purchase of a cellular phone and a mobile phone number) or merely sales of mobile phone number as an agent for the telecommunications providers are accrued as activated; and (d) commission revenues are accrued monthly on the basis of related airtime revenue. The revenues from and cost for the sale of cellular phone equipment and accessories are recognized when the products are delivered to and accepted by the customers. This sale is considered a separate earnings process from the sale of wireless services.

Operating revenues are measured at fair values based on the prices negotiated between the Group and the customers. If the terms of sales receivables are within one year, the amount of receivables is not significantly different from fair value and the transaction is frequent; therefore, the sales receivables are not discounted to fair value.

Rental revenues are recognized when the service is rendered and the earnings process is virtually completed and revenues are realized or realizable.

The Company and Far Eastern Apparel Co., Ltd. do not recognize revenues when the transactions involving the delivery of materials to subcontractors for further processing since these transactions do not involve a transfer of ownerships and the risks of materials.

An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided on the basis of the review of the collectibility of accounts receivable. The Group assesses the probability of collectibility of accounts receivable by examining the aging analysis of the outstanding receivables, assessing the value of the collateral provided by customers, credit ratings and economic environments.

Promotion Expenses

Commissions and cellular phone equipment subsidy costs related to the Group's promotions are treated as marketing expenses or cost of telecommunications service in the year when the service to a subscriber is activated.

Inventories

Inventory includes raw materials, supplies, finished products, work-in-process and and merchandise. Before January 1, 2009, inventory was stated at lower of cost or market. Market value meant replacement cost for raw materials and supplies and net realizable value for finished goods and work in process. Any write-down was made on as a whole basis. As stated in Note 5, inventory is now stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value beginning January 1, 2009. Any write-down was made on item by item basis. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are recorded at weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.

Government Grant

When received, the government grant is included in the restricted assets and in deferred revenue at the same time. The restricted asset is reclassified as cash or cash equivalent when Far EasTone uses the grant under the terms of the related agreement. The deferred revenue is recognized as follows: (1) if the grant is related to depreciable assets, it should be recognized as revenue over the asset economic lives in proportion to the depreciation expenses for these assets; or (2) if the grant is related to income, the grant should be deducted from the related expense when the expenses are incurred.

Financial Assets Carried at Cost

Investments in equity instruments without quoted market prices in an active market, including investments in unlisted stocks and emerging stocks, are measured at cost upon initial recognition. Any cash dividends received are recognized as income on the date of the meeting of stockholders or on the ex-dividend date, but dividends declared from earnings before investment acquisition are recognized as a reduction of the carrying value of the investments. Stock dividends received are accounted for only as an increase in the number of shares held but are not recognized as investment income. The carrying amount of shares held is recalculated on the basis of the total number of shares held after stock dividends are received. An impairment loss should be recognized as a charge to current income if there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. This loss cannot be reversed.

Real Estate

FENC's subsidiary, FECC, uses the completed-contract method for its construction projects. Pre-sold real estate is recognized as advances on land and building. After completion of the construction, the ownership is transferred to a proprietor or owner, and the proceeds of this transfer are recognized as current revenues. The calculation of the construction cost is based on the size of the land used, the actual size of the house and the construction cost incurred. House ownership fully or partly transferred to customers is recognized as current construction cost; any remaining construction costs are recognized as available for sale - building and land.

Pre-sold property under the percentage-of-completion method of FECC is recognized in the balance sheet and is calculated on an accrual basis. If the accumulated construction gain exceeds total construction gain, the excess will be recognized as current revenues; otherwise, current loss is recognized. If the construction is estimated to result in a loss, the full loss has to be recognized immediately. When the estimated loss decreases in the following periods, the cumulative loss recognized in excess of the estimated loss is recognized as revenues.

For subsidiary, FECC, construction is recognized by the percentage-of-completion method, the construction account is calculated depending on the construction cost actually incurred (such as construction land, costs and capitalized interests) plus or minus the estimated construction revenues or losses. After each construction completion, the sold parts of construction and related advances on land and building are netted out; the net amount is recognized as operating revenue. The unsold parts under the current construction projects are reclassified as real estate ready for sale.

FECC stated its property as available for sale - building and land or available for construction - land at the lower of cost or market.

FECC treated its marketing expenses related to pre-sold real estate as deferred marketing expenses and recognized as current expenses when the construction is completed except for the ownership of real estate has not yet been transferred to customers.

Long-term Construction Contracts

Revenues and costs of long-term construction contracts of FECC are recognized by the percentage-of-completion method. Under this method, the stage of completion of each contract is measured as a ratio of cumulative construction costs to total estimated contract costs. If contract price or construction contract costs cannot be reasonably estimated, the completed method is required.

Construction revenues and costs for the current year of FECC are the cumulative construction revenue and costs, determined using the percentage-of-completion method, in excess of the cumulative construction revenue and costs recognized in prior years. An estimated loss on a construction contract is recognized immediately; any adjustment of this loss is recognized as either income or loss in the year of adjustment.

The adjustment of the construction contract price of the prior year's completed construction is added to or deducted from the construction profit or loss of the year of adjustments. Under the completed-contract method, when construction is completed, the balance of billings on construction-in-progress and construction-in-progress is charged to construction revenue and costs.

Long-term construction in progress of FECC is carried at cost plus estimated construction profit or less estimated losses. Installment payments or collections received on construction projects are credited to advances from construction. Upon completion of each project, these advances are offset against construction-in-progress.

At year-end, the balances of construction-in-progress and advances on construction of FECC are netted out, and the result is classified as current asset or current liability.

Held-to-maturity Financial Assets

Held-to-maturity financial assets are carried at amortized cost using the straight line method. Held-to-maturity financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. Profit or loss is recognized when the financial assets are derecognized, impaired, or amortized. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are accounted for using a trade date basis.

An impairment loss is recognized when there is objective evidence that the investment is impaired. The impairment loss is reversed if an increase in the investment's recoverable amount is due to an event which occurred after the impairment loss was recognized; however, the adjusted carrying amount of the investment may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the investment in prior years.

Equity-method Investments

Long-term investments in which the Group owns at least 20% of investees' common stock or exercises significant influence over their operating and financial policy decisions are accounted for by the equity-method.

On the acquisition date or the adoption of the equity-method for the first time, the difference between investment cost and underlying equity in net assets is amortized using the straight-line method over 3 to 20 years. As required, however, by the revised SFAS No. 5 - "Long Term Investments in Equity Securities," starting on January 1, 2006, the cost of acquisition is subjected to an initial analysis. The investment cost in excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets is recognized as goodwill and goodwill is no longer amortized. If the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the cost of investments, the excess should be assigned to noncurrent assets in proportion to their respective fair values (except for financial assets not under the equity-method, assets for disposal, deferred income tax assets and prepaid pension costs or other retirement benefit costs). If these assets are all reduced to zero, the remaining excess should be recognized as extraordinary gain. Starting on January 1, 2006, the unamortized balance of the investment cost in excess of the equity in investee's net assets is no longer amortized and is instead subject to the same accounting treatment as that for goodwill; the negative goodwill previously acquired should be amortized over the remaining estimated economic lives.

Profits from downstream transactions with an equity-method investee are eliminated in proportion to the Group's percentage of ownership in the investee; however, if the Group has control over the investee, all the profits are eliminated. Profits from upstream transactions with an equity-method investee are eliminated in proportion to the Group's percentage of ownership in the investee.

An increase in the Group's proportionate share in the net assets of its investee resulting from its subscription for additional shares of stock issued by the investee at a rate different from its existing equity ownership in the investee is credited to capital surplus. If the subscription results in a decrease in the Group's equity in an investee's net assets, capital surplus is debited. If capital surplus is not enough for debiting purposes, the difference is debited to unappropriated earnings.

The Group's equity in equity-method investees' net income or net loss is recognized using the treasury stock method if there are reciprocal holdings between investors and investees.

For both equity-method and cost-method investments, stock dividends received are accounted for as increases in the number of shares held, which result in lower carrying value per share.

F-280

The costs of investments sold are determined as follows: (i) by the Company - weighted average method and (ii) by subsidiaries - moving-average method.

Properties and Rental Assets

Properties and rental assets are stated at cost or cost plus appreciation, less accumulated depreciation. Major additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed currently.

Interest on borrowings used to finance the acquisition of properties and the construction of production facilities up to the time those properties are ready for their intended use is capitalized and included in the cost of the related assets.

Depreciation expenses for properties and rental assets are calculated by the Group using the fixed-percentage-of- declining-balance method and straight-line method, respectively.

Depreciation expenses are computed over service lives originally estimated as follows: buildings and equipment, 3 to 55 years; machinery and equipment, 3 to 20 years; and telecommunication equipment, 2 to 15 years; computer equipment, 3 to 10 years; and leasehold improvements and miscellaneous equipment, 3 to 15 years. Depreciation on appreciation is computed over the remaining service lives of the assets on the revaluation date. When properties and rental assets reach their residual value and are still being used, they are further depreciated over their newly estimated service lives.

When properties are retired or disposed of, their costs or costs plus appreciation and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and the resulting gains or losses are credited or charged to nonoperating income or loss.

Equipment covered by capital lease agreements are stated at the lower of (1) the fair value of the equipment at the beginning of the lease or (2) the total present value of future lease payments and the bargain purchase price. Implicit interest included in the periodic lease payments is treated as current interest expenses.

Idle Assets

Properties not currently used in operations are transferred to other assets at the lower of net carrying value or net realizable value, with the difference charged to nonoperating expenses. However, starting from January 1, 2006, based on related regulations, depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the properties.

Intangible Assets

Goodwill is the difference (the source of which cannot be identified) between investment costs and the equity in investees' net assets, which is amortized using the straight-line method over 3 to 15 years. However, under the revised SFAS No. 5 - "Long-term Investments in Equity Securities" goodwill is no longer amortized starting from January 1, 2006.

The 3G concession, which was stated at cost, is amortized on a straight-line basis from January 24, 2005, the issuance date of the concession license, until the license expiry date on December 31, 2018.

Land use rights are amortized over 50 years.

Patents and computer software costs were stated at cost and amortized over 5 to 10 years on a straight-line basis.

Deferred Charges

Deferred charges, which are derived mainly from costs of routers provided to customers, retail store renovation and computer software of Far EasTone are amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of lease. The cost of issuing corporate bonds before December 31, 2005 should be amortized by the straight-line method between the issuance date and the redemption date at the option of the bondholder. Other deferred charges are amortized by the straight-line method over five to seven years.

Impairment Loss

An impairment loss should be recognized if the carrying value of assets (including properties, intangible assets, idle properties, rental assets, 3G concession, goodwill, deferred charges and equity-method investments) exceeds their recoverable amount, and this impairment loss should be charged to current loss. For investees which Far EasTone exercises significant influence but not control, the recoverable amount and the investment value are compared to calculate the impairment loss from the investment based on investee's individual investment value (goodwill is included). The accumulated impairment loss of an asset recognized in prior years can be reversed if, later on, the estimate of the asset's recoverable amount later has changed so as to increase the recoverable amount. Then, the asset's carrying amount can be increased to its recoverable amount; however, the recoverable amount should not exceed the carrying amount that would have been after the deduction of depreciation or amortization if it had not been impaired. If an asset has been revalued in accordance with the laws, its impairment loss should first be used to reduce the unrealized appreciation of revaluation under stockholders' equity. The excess loss, if any, may then be recognized as loss in the income statement. However, to the extent that an impairment loss on the same revalued asset was previously recognized as a loss in the income statement because of insufficient revaluation surplus, a reversal of that impairment loss is recognized as a gain in the income statement. The excess part, if any, may then be reversed to the unrealized appreciation of revaluation under stockholders' equity.

To test for impairment, goodwill should be allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combinations. A cash-generating unit should be tested for impairment at least annually by comparing the carrying amount of the unit with its recoverable amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated to reduce the carrying amount of the unit in the following order: (a) reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit; and (b) reduce the carrying amounts of other assets of the unit proportionally. A reversal of an impairment loss on goodwill is disallowed.

For investees which Far EasTone exercises significant influence but not control, the recoverable amount and the investment value are compared to calculate the impairment loss from the investment based on investee's individual investment value (goodwill is included).

Deferral of Unrealized Intercompany Profits

Deferral of unrealized intercompany profits refers to downstream transactions with investees under the equity-method, and these profits are realized and recognized when related products are sold to third parties.

Exchangeable Bonds

If bond holders have the right to exchange bonds with the Company's holdings of agreed target in fixed price or amount, the convertible bonds are measured at issued price after deducting the fair value of embedded derivatives. The liability component of non-derivative instruments are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method (straight-line method if difference is not material) and the related interest or redemption loss or gain is charged to profit or loss. If bond holders exercise exchange right before the maturity date, the bonds should be adjusted with their liability components. The Company uses the aggregate carrying amount of the liability and equity components of the bonds at the time of conversion as a basis to record the target exchanged. If the bonds are redeemed at the maturity date, the Company should recognize the fair value of embedded derivatives as gain of current year.

Pension Costs

FENC and its domestic subsidiaries have two types of pension plans: Defined benefit and defined contribution.

Under the defined benefit plan, pension costs are recognized on the basis of actuarial calculations. Under the defined contribution pension plan, monthly contributions by the Group to the employees' individual pension accounts are recognized as pension costs.

The pension plans of subsidiaries in China are based on the Chinese government's regulations. The subsidiaries make monthly contributions to employees' individual pension accounts at a fixed percentage of salaries and wages and recognize these contributions as pension costs. The domestic and overseas holding companies which do not have any employees do not have pension plans.

^{}[] F-283

Income Tax

The inter-period and intra-period allocation methods are used for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets are recognized for the tax effects of deductible temporary differences, unused operating loss carryforwards and unused investment tax credits, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for the tax effects of taxable temporary differences. Valuation allowances are provided to the extent, if any, that it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be realized. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are classified as current or noncurrent on the basis of the classification of the related assets and liabilities for financial reporting. A deferred asset or liability not related to an asset or a liability in the financial statements is classified as current or noncurrent on the basis of the expected length of the realization period.

Tax credits for certain purchases of telecommunications and other equipment, research and development expenses, personnel training expenses and investments in shares of stock are accounted for as a reduction of the current period's income tax expense.

Adjustments of prior years' tax payables include the current period's income tax expenses.

Income taxes (10%) on undistributed earnings generated since January 1, 1998 are recorded as expense in the year when the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.

The Company and FERD adopted the linked-tax system for tax filings. Differences between current and deferred income tax expenses on consolidated entity basis and those on nonconsolidated entity basis are adjusted in the Company's income tax expenses. Related reimbursement and appropriation are recognized as receivables or payables.

Foreign-currency Transactions and Translation of Foreign-currency Financial Statements

Nonderivative foreign-currency transactions are recorded in New Taiwan dollars at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occur. Gains or losses resulting from the application of prevailing foreign exchange rates when cash in foreign currency is converted into New Taiwan dollars or when nonmonetary foreign-currency-denominated assets and liabilities are settled, are credited or charged to income in the period of settlement.

On the balance sheet date, the balances of nonmonetary foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities evaluated at fair value, such as equity instruments, are restated at the prevailing exchange rates, and the resulting differences are recorded as adjustment to stockholders' equity or as profit or loss in the current period. Financial assets and liabilities carried at cost are stated at historical exchange rates; while equity-method investments are recorded as cumulative translation adjustments under stockholders' equity.

Hedging Derivative Financial Instruments

Hedging derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value. The changes in fair values of these instruments are debited or charged to either stockholders' equity or current income depending on the type of the hedged items.

Hedge Accounting

Hedge accounting involves the recognition of the offsetting effects on profit or loss of changes in fair values of the hedging instrument and the hedged item.

Some derivative instruments held by the Group are for cash flow hedge purposes. Thus, the gains or losses from the changes in fair values of the hedging instruments are recognized under stockholders' equity and are recognized as current income if the hedged forecast transaction affects net gains or losses. If hedging would give rise to a nonfinancial asset or liability, the gain or loss will be recognized as an adjustment to the original cost or carrying amount of the hedged asset or liability. If recognized adjustments to stockholders' equity result in irreversible losses, these losses should be immediately charged to current income.

Reclassifications

Certain accounts in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008 have been reclassified to be consistent with the presentation of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009.

3. TRANSLATION INTO U.S. DOLLARS

The consolidated financial statements are stated in New Taiwan dollars. The translations of the New Taiwan dollars into U.S. dollars are included solely for the convenience of readers, using the noon buying rate of NT$31.19 to US$1.00 published by US Federal Reserve on September 30, 2010. The convenience translations should not be construed as representations that the New Taiwan dollar amounts have been, could have been, or could in the future be, converted into U.S. dollars at this or any other exchange rate.

5. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Accounting for Intangible Assets

On January 1, 2007, the Group adopted the newly released SFAS No. 37 - "Accounting for Intangible Assets" and related revisions of previously released Statements. The Group thus reevaluated its use of the amortization method and useful lives of related assets. This accounting change had no effect on income before income tax, consolidated net income and earnings per share after income tax for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Accounting for Bonuses to Employees and Remuneration to Directors and Supervisors

In March 2007, the Accounting Research and Development Foundation issued Interpretation 2007-052 that requires companies to recognize bonuses paid to employees, directors and supervisors as compensation expenses. These bonuses were previously recorded as appropriations from earnings. This accounting change resulted in decreases of NT$431,123 thousand in consolidated net income attributable to stockholders of parent company and of NT$0.09 in basic earnings per share after income tax for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Accounting for Inventories

On January 1, 2009, the Group adopted the newly revised SFAS No. 10 - "Accounting for Inventories." The main revisions are (a) inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and inventories are written down to net realizable value item-by-item except when the grouping of similar or related items is appropriate; (b) unallocated overheads are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred; and (c) abnormal costs, write-downs of inventories and any reversal of write-downs should be classified as cost of goods sold. This accounting change resulted in decreases of NT$132,664 thousand (US$4,253 thousand) in consolidated net income attributable to stockholders of parent company and NT$0.03 (US$0.001) in basic earnings per share after income tax for the year ended December 31, 2009. For comparison purposes, the Group also reclassified nonoperating gains of NT$91,047 thousand and nonoperating losses of NT$720,032 thousand to cost of goods sold for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively.

The land in section number 9 of the new station in Ban Ciao ("Ban Ciao Zhong Ben") was developed using the joint construction and allocation of housing units method for FECC and Far Eastern Department Store Co., Ltd. ("FEDS"). The allocation of housing units was based on percentages of land ownership (36.07% for FECC and 63.93% for FEDS).

For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, FECC's capitalized interest which generally referred to construction-in-progress and prepaid construction, was NT$38,118 thousand, NT$36,872 thousand and NT$21,090 thousand (US$676 thousand), respectively. The capitalization rates were 1.658%-2.8908% in 2007, 1.5552%-3.7416% in 2008 and 1.4249%-4.218% in 2009.

FEGC obtained a Kaohsiung MRT project contract and signed a syndicate loan contract with syndicate banks, with Chinatrust Commercial Bank as the lead and managing bank. According to the contract, the cash project fund appropriated by Kaohsiung Rapid Transit Corporation ("KRTC," the proprietor) should be deposited to the lead bank's special account. Before withdrawing the amounts from the project fund, FEGC must submit a detailed statement of expenditures to the managing bank, which will appropriate the project fund after processing and approving this statement. When the fund exceeds a certain amount, FEGC can buy bond fund or time deposit, but FEGC should pledge the above bond fund or time deposit as security for the managing bank. The contract was due in October 2007 and the special account was not restricted since then.

The above equity and fund investments, which had no quoted prices in an active market and of which fair values could not be reliably measured, were carried at cost.

In January 2009, an FENC subsidiary, Yuan Tong, acquired 13% equity in Bockhold N.V. for NT$223,533 thousand (US$7,167 thousand) and then bought a convertible bond issued by Bockhold N.V. (Note 9) on February 26, 2009. However, since the bond was an investment in an inactive market, it was recognized as a financial asset carried at cost amounting to NT$7,895 thousand (US$253 thousand).

Investment in Alberta and Orient Glycol Co., Ltd. was accounted for by the cost method since the Group could not exercise significant influence over this investee although the Group owned more than 20% of his investees' voting stock.

The value of the cost-method investees had been considered impaired and the chance for recovery is remote. Thus, a permanent impairment loss on these investments was recognized in 2007 and 2008, as follows:

20072008
Kai Yuang Trust Fund$ 61,512$25,890
NCIC48,879
$110,391$25,890

Kai Yuang Trust Fund was invested by an FENC subsidiary, FEIH. However, FEIH planned to dispose of Kai Yuang Trust Fund within one year, so the investment was reclassified as a long-term equity investment held for sale in 2009.

NCIC conducted capital reduction in August 2007. NT$1,198,873 thousand was returned to the Group.

Hantech Venture Capital Corp. conducted capital reduction in November 2007. NT$32,088 thousand was returned to the Group.

Far EasTone issued common shares to exchange for NCIC's common shares, and this share swap took place after NCIC's capital reduction. The Group thus indirectly exercised significant influence on NCIC and changed its accounting method for NCIC to the equity-method from December 31, 2007.

According to Interpretation 1998-150 issued by the Accounting Research and Development Foundation, FEGC, the build-operate-transfer (BOT) chartered investor of KRTC will have to transfer all assets to the government without any condition at the end of the chartered period and amortize this investment within the chartered period. KRTC started the construction of the KRTC system on October 31, 2001 and then began the commercial operation in April 2008. The chartered period will end on October 31, 2037 for a total of 36 years. The amortization period of this investment started in April 2008, will be lasting for 29 years and 7 months. The amortization expenses for 2008 and 2009 were NT$5,071 thousand and NT$6,760 thousand (US$217 thousand), respectively. However, because of the poor performance by KRTC for many years, FEGC recognized an impairment loss of NT$79,856 thousand (US$2,560 thousand) on KTRC after the assessment in 2009.

Investments in Far Eastern International Bank ("FEIB"), Ding Ding Hotel Co., Ltd., and Ding Ding Integrated Marketing Service Co., Ltd. ("DDIMS") in 2007, investments in FEDS, FEIB, Ding Ding Hotel Co., Ltd., and DDIMS in 2008 and FEDS, Ding Ding Hotel Co., Ltd. and DDIMS in 2009 were accounted for by the equity-method since the Group exercised a significant influence over them even though the Group owned less than 20% of each investee's voting stock.

The Group committed to provide further financial support to Malaysia Garment Manufactures PTE Ltd., Far Eastern International Garments Inc. and Cemtex Apparel Inc. and recognized credit balances on the book values of the related long-term investments, and these balances were recognized under other liabilities - other.

The market prices of equity-method investments in listed companies were NT$54,429,317 thousand, NT$30,862,539 thousand and NT$38,215,850 thousand (US$1,225,260 thousand) as of December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively. They were calculated by the closing prices on December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009.

On January 23, 2007, YDI, an FENC subsidiary, participated in ACC's global depositary receipts offering and sold its holding of 84,000 thousand shares of ACC for NT$2,734,372 thousand, which was at about NT$32.65 per share. Additionally, YDI disposed of 13,013 thousand shares of ACC for NT$472,410 thousand and of 7,620 thousand shares of Far Eastern Department Stores for NT$298,408 thousand in 2007.

The Group bought 13,908 thousand shares of ACC for NT$300,423 thousand and sold 34,135 thousand shares of ACC for NT$1,841,544 thousand in 2008. Thus, the Group's equity interest in ACC decreased from 26.64% to 25.90%. In 2009, The Group bought 7,352 thousand shares of ACC for NT$219,167 thousand (US$7,027 thousand) and sold 67,631 thousand shares of ACC for NT$2,215,557 thousand (US$71,034 thousand); thus, the Group's equity interest in ACC decreased from 25.90% to 23.85%.

In 2009, two FENC subsidiaries, YDI and Ding Yuan International Investment Corp., bought 12,279 thousand shares of OUCC for NT$194,978 thousand (US$6,251 thousand) and sold 10,810 thousand shares of OUCC for NT$260,224 thousand (US$8,343 thousand). Thus, the Group's equity interest in OUCC increased from 22.56% to 22.74%.

Two FENC subsidiaries, Yuan Tong and Kai Yuan International Investment Co., Ltd. bought 26,951 thousand shares of FEDS for NT$601,072 thousand and the subsidiary, YDI sold 47,181 thousand FEDS shares for NT$2,542,482 thousand in 2008. Thus, the Group's equity interest in FEDS decreased from 21.49% to 19.58%. YDI bought 2,419 thousand shares of FEDS for NT$86,231 thousand (US$2,765 thousand) in 2009. Yuan Tong, Kai Yuan International Investment Co., Ltd. and Ding Yuan International Investment Corp. sold 20,674 thousand shares of FEDS for NT$649,752 thousand (US$20,832 thousand) in 2009. The Group's equity interest in FEDS thus decreased from 19.58% to 18.04%.

On June 10, 2009, the stockholders of FEIB decided to offset deficits of NT$4,075,208 thousand (US$130,658 thousand) through capital reduction on June 30, 2009, which is the record date of the capital reduction. Thus, the Group's holding in FEIB was decreased by 65,341 thousand shares.

In 2008, the Group participated in FEIB's private placement for 127,601 thousand shares for NT$829,407 thousand, and this investment was treated in the category of restriction of transfer of ownership as stated in Section 8 of Article 43 of the ROC Securities and Exchange Act. In addition, the Group bought 21,493 thousand shares of FEIB for NT$122,197 thousand, resulting in an increase in the Group's equity interest in FEIB from 11.83% to 15.87%. On June 10, 2009, FEIB had a board of directors' election. FENC and one of its subsidiaries, YDI, lost their three seats in the board and no longer had significant influence over FEIB since the new board's term began on June 27, 2009. Thus, the Group reclassified the carrying value of the shares privately issued by FEIB to financial assets carried at cost, and the remaining carrying value of FEIB was reclassified to available-for-sale financial assets - noncurrent.

In 2009, Everest Textile Co., Ltd. purchased its shares from the open market, and this treasury stock transaction caused the Group's holding in this company to increase from 25.99% to 27.07%.

In February 2007, the Company and its subsidiary, YDI, acquired 9,846 thousand shares amounting to NT$118,152 thousand through the capital increase by cash of Far Eastern International Leasing Corp. ("FEILC"). Thus, the combined ownership percentage of FEILC increased from 31.87% to 32.77%. In April 2008, the Company and YDI acquired 10,174 thousand shares issued by FEILC for NT$122,094 thousand, and their equity interest in FEILC increased from 32.77% to 33.12%. In November 2009, the Group acquired 19,001 thousand shares of FEILC's newly issued shares for NT$190,008 thousand (US$6,092 thousand), and their equity interest in FEILC increased from 33.12% to 33.67%.

On June 5, 2009, NCIC's stockholders decided to offset deficits of NT$14,005,510 thousand (US$449,038 thousand) through capital reduction, with August 1, 2009 as the record date of capital reduction. Thus, the Group's holding of NCIC decreased by 596,147 thousand shares.

Far EasTone issued 100,637 thousand and 59,733 thousand common shares to exchange for 615,179 thousand and 365,137 thousand, respectively, of NCIC's common shares after NCIC's capital reduction from Infocom Holding Company Pte Ltd. and SingTel Taiwan Limited on December 31, 2007 (the record date of the share swap). The ratio for this share swap was 1:6.11282174. The share swap was approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission under the ROC Executive Yuan on December 26, 2007 and registered with the MOEA on January 14, 2008. After the share swap, Far EasTone acquired about 24.51% of NCIC's issued shares. The Group indirectly has a significant influence on NCIC through the share swap, so NCIC started to be accounted for by equity-method from December 31, 2007.

A Company subsidiary, FEIW, acquired 30% ownership of Martens Shanghai in 2008. An FENC subsidiary, Sino acquired 70% ownership of Martens Shanghai in the first quarter of 2009. Thus, the accounts of Martens Shanghai were included in the consolidated financial statements of 2009.

In July 2009, an FENC subsidiary, YDI, acquired 5,302 thousand shares issued by Da Ju Fiber Co., Ltd. for NT$127,258 thousand (US$4,080 thousand).

In 2009, an FENC subsidiary, Ding Yuan International Investment Corp. acquired 9,120 thousand shares of the shares newly issued by Yue Ding Industry Co., Ltd. for NT$91,200 thousand (US$2,924 thousand). Thus, the Group's equity in Yue Ding Industry Co., Ltd. increased from 27.81% to 28.87%.

In September 2009, the subsidiary, KG Telecom bought 5-year corporate bonds for NT$199,540 thousand (US$6,398 thousand) issued by ACC with an effective interest rate of 2.004% and coupon interest rate of 1.95%.

16. PROPERTIES

a. Accumulated depreciation consisted of:

Under government regulations, the Company revalued the properties (excluding land) in 1983 and the lands in 1994. The resulting appreciation was accounted for as an increase in the carrying value of the properties and properties leased to others. A reserve for land value increment tax was also recognized and the net appreciation was credited to unrealized revaluation increment on properties.

The Company and ACC co-own a parcel of land located on Dunhua South Road in Taipei. Under an agreement with the Company and ACC on March 31, 1989, Yuan Ding Co., Ltd. ("Yuan Ding") paid for the construction of a multi-functional building on this land and owned the 30-year right of superficies. However, the ownership of the building should have been registered on the Company, ACC and Yuan Ding by 12%, 12% and 76%. Upon expiration of the agreement, the Company and ACC will acquire Yuan Ding's 76% ownership of the building with the carrying value of the building.

On September 2, 2003, the Company transferred the real estate development rights (including those on operating and nonoperating properties and farmland) from investment department to its wholly owned subsidiary, FERD, which was a newly set-up company.

17. GOODWILL

If acquisition cost of an investment exceeds its fair value of identifiable net assets acquired, and the source of this excess cannot be identified, this excess should be recorded as goodwill. Goodwill mainly resulted from the mergers and acquisitions of majority ownerships by its subsidiary, Far EasTone.

Under SFAS No. 35 - "Accounting for Asset Impairment" the Far EasTone and its subsidiaries are identified identifiable cash-generating units as follows:

In 2007, the identifiable cash-generating units were defined by company as Far EasTone, KG Telecom, ARCOA and Q-ware Com to do the asset impairment test. To enhance the operating effectiveness, Far EasTone integrated its telecommunications resources actively in 2008 and 2009. Thus, the identifiable cash-generating units were defined by business as mobile telecommunications service business, telecommunication equipment business and WiFly business, which were divided by distinct business functions.

On December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, the carrying values of the tangible and intangible assets used by Far EasTone and its subsidiaries were NT$68,221,128 thousand, NT$63,927,354 thousand and NT$57,910,640 thousand (US$1,856,705 thousand), respectively. Far EasTone's management took value in use to assets its recoverable amounts of core assets and took the expected useful lives in to consideration for the cash flow forecast. Therefore, the discount rates on December 31, 2007, the discount rate are 13.38% for Far EasTone, 14.48% for KG Telecom, 15.60% for ARCOA and 10.00% for Q-ware Com. on December 31, 2008 are 12.64% for mobile telecommunications service business and 16.88% for telecommunication equipment business, and 10.00% for WiFly business, and on December 31, 2009 are 10.61% for the mobile telecommunications service business, 10.42% for the telecommunication equipment business and 10.00% for WiFly business. The operating revenue forecast was based on the expected future growth rate of the telecom industry along with the prospective advancement of the business.

F-302

The principal assumptions and the relevant measurement of the recoverable amounts of Far EasTone and its subsidiaries are summarized as follows:

a. Expected future growth rate of the telecommunications industry

1) Mobile voice service (MVS): The anticipated MVS growth rate is based on the actual effective customer and revenues in prior years. Since the market of 2G telecommunications services is mature and there will be an increased use of 3G telecommunications services, the growth rate is expected to be stable.

2) Mobile data service (MDS): The demand for MDS is expected to grow. However, given the cycle in the industry, the growth rate for MDS will gradually decrease annually.

3) Business of telecommunication equipment: Based on past experience, plans and the trend in the overall market, the anticipated growth rate is expected to decrease gradually.

4) WiFly business: Based on the current WiFly business operation model and the demand of WiFly, the growth rate is expected to be stable.

b. Expected ratio of service EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) to operating revenue:

The ratio was around 50% in 2007, 2008 and 2009; this ratio is expected to decrease slightly in future years.

In 2007, 2008 and 2009, impairment losses were NT$10,211 thousand, NT$20,000 thousand and NT$44,315 thousand (US$1,421 thousand) respectively, and were classified under impairment loss on assets.

  2. FARMLAND

25. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Under the Company Law, capital surplus can only be used to offset a deficit. However, capital surplus from share issued in excess of par (additional paid-in capital from issuance of common shares, premiums on capital stocks resulting from newly issued stocks after enterprise merger and acquisition and treasury stock transaction) and donations enables to be capitalized and then proportionately issues new shares to the stockholders; the new capital is limited within a certain amount in each year. In addition, capital surplus from equity-method investments may not be used for any purpose.

According to the Company's articles of incorporation, the net income should make up the accumulated deficits after paying its business income tax. If there is still a surplus, it will be used for appropriation with last year's unappropriated earnings after recognizing 10% of the surplus as legal reserve and recognizing special reserve under government regulations. The Company would remain a certain amount for future expansion plans and then appropriate in the percentage presented as follows:

%
a.Dividends60.0
b.Bonus for stockholders33.0
c.Bonus for employees4.0
d.Remuneration for directors and supervisors3.0

All appropriations are approved by the stockholders in the next year and disclose them in the financial statements of the year after the next year. The Company's dividend policy should take the future economic condition and the future cash demands and taxation into account and should be appropriated in the percentage on the basis of the Company's articles of incorporation to retain stable periodical dividend to stockholders. Dividend appropriation is not only to improve the financial structure of the Company and deal with the cash demands such as supporting the investments, expanding the productivity and significant capital expenditures, but also to keep the cash dividend remain not less than 10% of the aggregation of stock dividend and stockholders' bonus in the year.

The bonuses to employees were estimated to be NT$196,557 thousand in 2008 and NT$300,732 thousand (US$9,642 thousand) in 2009 and the remuneration to directors and supervisors were estimated to be NT$147,418 thousand in 2008 and NT$225,549 thousand (US$7,231 thousand) in 2009. According to the Company's articles of Incorporation, the bonus to employees and the remuneration to directors and supervisors are respectively calculated by 4% and 3% of the estimated earning appropriation. If the actual

F-315

amounts subsequently resolved by the stockholders differ from the estimates, the differences are recorded as a change in accounting estimate. If bonus shares are resolved to be distributed to employees, the number of shares is determined by dividing the amount of bonus by the closing price (after considering the effect of cash and stock dividends) of the shares at the date preceding the stockholders' meeting.

Legal reserve should be appropriated until it has reached the Company's paid-in capital. This reserve may be used to offset a deficit. When the legal reserve has reached 50% of the Company's paid-in capital, up to 50%, thereof the rest part may be transferred to capital.

The appropriations of earnings for 2006, 2007 and 2008 had been approved by the stockholders' meeting on June 21, 2007, June 18, 2008 and June 26, 2009, respectively. The appropriations and dividends per share were as follows:

e. The appeal status of income tax returns is as follows:

Far EasTone

Income tax returns through 2004 of Far EasTone had been examined by the tax authorities. However, Far EasTone disagreed with the tax authorities' assessment of its 2000 to 2004 returns. Thus, Far EasTone filed appeals for the reexamination of its 2000 to 2004 returns. Nevertheless, Far EasTone accrued the related tax.

^{}[] KG Telecom

Income tax returns through 2004 of KG Telecom and the former KG Telecom had been examined by the tax authorities. However, KG Telecom disagreed with the tax authorities' assessment of its 2001 to 2004 returns and thus filed appeals for the reexamination of these returns. Nevertheless, KG Telecom accrued the related tax.

ARCOA

ARCOA disagreed with the tax authorities' assessment of its 2002 return and thus filed appeals for a reexamination. Nevertheless, ARCOA accrued the related taxes.

OPTC

The tax authorities examined the 2002 income tax return of OPTC and assessed that OPTC's tax exemption claim amounts and investment tax credits should be decreased. The assessment resulted in an increase in tax payable by NT$23,974 thousand. However, OPTC thought that the basis and reason of the assessment was not in accordance with general accounting principles and tax laws and thus filed appeals for reexamination. In March 2009, the tax authorities declared that OPTC not only had to recognize the investment 2002 tax credits of NT$8,102 thousand but was also liable for a tax underpayment of NT$15,873 thousand. Since OPTC still had tax deductibles resulting from prior operating losses and investment tax credits, OPTC applied on March 17, 2009 for approval to offset the income tax balance of 2002 against prior years' deficits and later got the authorities' approval. Thus, OPTC was longer required to pay the income tax of 2002.

On OPTC's 2003 income tax return, the tax authorities declared in February 2006 that OPTC's operating cost, operating expense, other expenses, interest expense, investment tax credits - researchers' salaries and other reported items should be decreased. This assessment resulted in an increase in tax payable by NT$7,551 thousand and a decrease in investment tax credits by NT$3,810 thousand. In addition, the assessment result on the 2002 tax return showed that OPTC should pay additional NT$6,556 thousand. OPTC disagreed with the tax authorities' assessment and thus filed an appeal for reexamination. On August 11, 2008, the tax authorities agreed that OPTC could recognize additional NT$5,000 thousand in operating cost and additional NT$3,311 thousand more in transportation expense than the assessed amounts but rejected the other items that were reexamined after OPTC's appeal. On September 12, 2008, OPTC filed an appeal on the additional tax payable but the tax authorities again rejected this appeal on March 31, 2009. On April 10, 2009, OPTC filed an administrative suit with the Taiwan High Administrative Court but lost the suit on December 24, 2009. On February 22, 2010, OPTC filed an appeal with the Supreme Administrative Court (SAC), but, as of March 5, 2010, the date of the accompanying auditors' report, the SAC had not handed down its decision. Believing it will win this lawsuit, OPTC did not show the related accrued tax expense in its 2009 financial statements.

On OPTC's 2004 tax return, the tax authorities assessed in March 2007 that OPTC should decrease other expenses, tax-exempt income, investment tax credits - researchers' salaries, investment tax credits - personnel training and other reported items. The assessment resulted in an increase in tax payable by NT$268,485 thousand and a decrease in investment tax credits by NT$3,076 thousand. OPTC disagreed the tax authorities' assessment and filed an appeal for reexamination. On June 4, 2009, the tax authorities decided to allow OPTC to recognize the tax-exemption income of NT$905,356 thousand and rejected other items claimed in the reexamination. In addition, OPTC was required to settle an underpayment of NT$42,146 thousand. OPTC filed an appeal for the reduction of the other tax liabilities but the tax authorities rejected it on October 27, 2009. On December 25, 2009, OPTC filed an administrative suit with the Taiwan High Administrative Court (SAC), but as of March 5, 2010, the date of the accompanying auditors' report, the SAC had not handed down its decision. Believing it will win this lawsuit, OPTC did not accrued tax expense in its 2009 financial statements.

On OPTC's 2005 tax return, the tax authorities assessed in January 2008 that OPTC should decrease other expense, tax-exempt income, investment tax credits - researchers' salaries and other certain reported items. The assessment resulted in decreases in loss carryforward by NT$13,122 thousand and in investment tax credits by NT$2,859 thousand. OPTC refused the tax authorities' assessment and filed for a reexamination. On June 4, 2009, the tax authorities rejected the reexamination. OPTC filed an appeal for the reversal of the authorities' decision to reduce tax deductibles resulting from prior operating losses, but the tax authorities rejected the appeal on October 27, 2009. On December 25, 2009, OPTC filed an administrative suit with the Taiwan High Administrative Court, but as of March 5, 2010, the date of the accompanying auditors' report, the Taiwan High Administrative Court had not handed down its decision. Believing it will win this lawsuit, OPTC did not accrued tax expense in its 2009 financial statements.

F-327

On OPTC's 2006 income tax return, the tax authorities declared in December 2008 that OPTC's other expenses should have been reduced and that the tax deductibles resulting from prior operating losses should decrease by NT$11,984 thousand. OPTC refused the tax authorities' assessment and filed for a reexamination. On July 15, 2009, the tax authorities rejected the reexamination. OPTC filed an appeal for the reversal of the decision to cut tax deductibles given its fiscal losses but the tax authorities rejected the appeal on October 27, 2009. On December 25, 2009, OPTC filed an administrative suit with the Taiwan High Administrative Court, but as of March 5, 2010, the date of the accompanying auditors' report, the Taiwan High Administrative Court had not handed down its decision. Nevertheless, OPTC decreased the amount of deferred income tax assets in compliance with the result of the tax examination.

On OPTC's 2007 tax return, the tax authorities declared on July 6, 2009 that OPTC's other expenses should be reduced; thus, the tax deductions resulting from the fiscal losses decreased by NT$9,716 thousand after the tax examination. OPTC refused the tax authorities' assessment and filed for a reexamination. On October 8, 2009, the tax authorities rejected the appeal for reexamination. OPTC filed an appeal for the reversal of the decision to reduce its tax deductibles resulting from prior operating losses but the tax authorities rejected the appeal on December 28, 2009. On February 26, 2010, OPTC filed an administrative suit with the Taiwan High Administrative Court, but as of March 5, 2010, the date of the accompanying auditors' report, the Taiwan High Administrative Court had not handed down its decision. Nevertheless, OPTC decreased the amount of deferred income tax assets in compliance with the result of the tax examination.

27. FACTORING OF NONPERFORMING ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Far EasTone and KG Telecom wrote off certain overdue/nonperforming accounts receivables.

The Accounting Research and Development Foundation issued Interpretation 2007-052, which requires companies to recognize bonuses to employees, directors and supervisors as expenses instead of earning appropriations from January 1, 2008. If the Company decides to settle the employee bonus in cash or stock, it should presume that the entire amount of the bonus would be settled in the form of stock, and if the resulting potential shares would have a dilutive effect, these shares should be included in the weighted-average number of shares outstanding to be used in the calculation of the diluted EPS. The number of shares is estimated by dividing the entire amount of the bonus by the closing price of the shares at the balance sheet date. The dilutive effect of the potential shares should be included in the calculation of the diluted EPS until the stockholders resolve the number of shares to be distributed to employees at their meeting in the following year.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding for EPS calculation has been retroactively adjusted for the issuance of employee stock bonuses distributed out of earnings for the year ended December 31, 2008 and stock dividends. This adjustment caused the basic before and after income tax EPS for the year ended December 31, 2007 to decrease from NT$2.52 to NT$2.42 and from NT$2.54 to NT$2.44, respectively. In addition, the basic and diluted after income tax EPS for the year ended December 31, 2008 decreased from NT$1.01 to NT$0.99.

33. SIGNIFICANT COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Significant commitments and contingencies of the Group as of December 31, 2009:

a. Issued but unused letters of credit aggregated approximately NT$2,500,927 thousand (US$80,184 thousand).

b. Unpaid building construction and equipment installation contracts approximately NT$5,641,167 thousand (US$180,865 thousand); acquired but not yet accepted cellular phone equipment amounted to NT$366,632 thousand (US$11,755 thousand).

c. Undelivered cotton contracts amounted to NT$705,310 thousand (US$22,613 thousand).

d. Project contracts already signed by FEGC amounted to NT$30,180,252 thousand (US$967,626 thousand).

e. Endorsement and guarantees provided to the related parties: Schedule G (attached).

f. The tax authorities of Taipei County imposed a land tax from 1999 to 2003 on the land in Banciao and penalized the Company with a triple fine, totaling NT$252,442 thousand, because the authorities believed that this land, which FENC registered as a property for manufacturing purposes, was being used for general purposes instead and that FENC did not register the change in purpose of the land. The Company disagreed with the tax authorities' decision and applied for reexamination on December 27, 2004. However, after the reexamination, the tax authorities did not reverse their decision. Thus, the Company filed a appeal against the authorities on June 1, 2005. Afterwards, the authorities rejected the appeal; the Company accrued the losses for this case in 2005. On January 18, 2006, the Company filed a lawsuit with the Taipei High Administrative Court but still lost the lawsuit. The Company appealed to the Supreme Administrative Court ("SAC") on January 3, 2007. The SAC rejected this appeal on May 31, 2007. On August 30, 2007, the Company paid the required land tax. Despite this payment, the Company again applied with SAC for reexamination on July 13, 2007. On May 27, 2009, the SAC rejected the appeal for a reexamination. Nevertheless, the Company is continuing to look for other ways to assert its rights.

g. On December 29, 2005, the board of directors of Tai Ya International Telecommunications Co., Ltd. ("TYIT") resolved to merge Mobitai communications Ltd. ("Mobitai") in accordance with Article 19 of the Business Mergers and Acquisitions Act and set January 1, 2006 as the record date of the merger. TYIT is the successor company after the merger. Under the resolution of TYIT's board, the Company received NT$167,863 thousand (US$5,382 thousand) from Mobitai in exchange for Mobitai's 11,469 thousand common shares (NT$14.68 (US$0.47) per share) held by the Company. The Company disposed the investment in Mobitai and recognized a disposal gain of NT$31,814 thousand (US$1,020 thousand). However, the Company regarded Mobitai's purchase price was too low and raised an objection to Mobitai. Afterwards, the Company filed a lawsuit against TYIT. As of the report date the lawsuit was still in the procedure at the Taipei district court.

h. Ming-chiung Chang filed an incidental civil suit, in connection with the criminal case of forgery, against Ming-chung Kuo (an FENC employee) and Hua-de Lin, Hung-Long Li and Yung-gi Lai (the fiduciaries of Pacific Liu Tong Investment Corp. ("PLT"). Chang claimed that Kuo and Hua-de Lin, Hung-Long Li and Yung-gi Lai colluded and used their positions to carry out transactions that resulted in his losses and asked the Taiwan High Court to declare that the ownership of PLC held by (FEDS), FEDS's subsidiaries and the Company was just a fabrication, i.e., it never existed. In October 2009, Chang lost the suit and then appealed to SAC. As of March 5, 2010, the date of the accompanying independent auditors' report, this appeal was still in the procedure at the Supreme Court.

i. The Group's rental payments for land, buildings and cell sites for the next five years under effective lease agreements are summarized as follows:

j. Under the National Communications Commission's policy, effective April 1, 2007, Far EasTone had provided performance guarantees amounting to NT$450,000 thousand (US$14,428 thousand) to KG Telecom and NT$45,000 thousand (US$1,443 thousand) to KGEx com. for prepaid cards and international direct dialing calling cards already bought by customers. KG Telecom had also provided Far EasTone with a similar guarantee amounting to NT$850,000 thousand (US$27,252 thousand). Moreover, KG Telecom provided certificates of deposits amounting to NT$390,000 thousand (US$12,504 thousand) to the National Tax Administration of Taipei as collaterals for Far EasTone's administrative tax appeals for certain tax assessments.

k. A subsidiary of FENC, FEGC, undertook from the Southern Taiwan Science Park ("STSP") an underground cable construction. On June 28, 2007, FEGC's excavating machines were damaged because the unclear blueprints provided by STSP did not indicate the pipeline routes clearly. The accident resulted in the suspension of FEGC's construction until the pipes were dug out. FEGC applied for mediation to Complaint Review Board for Government Procurement, Public Construction Commission ("PCC") in 2008 and claimed for a loss in the amount of NT$23,360 thousand (US$749 thousand). Such loss from the additional costs was incurred for reasons not attributable to the FEGC but due to the fact that STSP failed to perform an its obligations. Although the claimed amount was reduced to NT$13,797 thousand (US$442 thousand), the mediation failed because both parties failed to reach an agreement. FEGC will initiate an action demanding performance with the Tainan District Court following service of the certificate of unsuccessful mediation. Additionally, during the construction period, material costs rose to NT$300,000 thousand (US$9,618 thousand) because of adverse economic factors and the rising prices of stainless steel and cable material. Although the contract amount had been adjusted for price inflation, FEGC still incurred a great loss in 2008 and got no indemnification. Thus, in 2008, FEGC again filed for mediation with the PCC and claimed that STSP should pay NT$125,100 thousand (US$4,011 thousand) in damages. However, the mediation still failed because STSP and FEGC could not reach any compromise. FEGC will file a suit for indemnification to the Tainan District Court after receiving the certification of mediation failure.

Further, the construction contract stated that the construction should be conducted by manual excavation. However, based on the request of local residents, STSP instructed FEGC to obtain an evaluation report made by a third-party unbiased institution on tunnel construction safety before starting the construction. The evaluation report showed that manual excavation may result in land collapse. In consideration of public safety, FEGC requested STSP to modify the original design to mechanical excavation instead. But STSP rejected the request because it insisted that the contractor should take all the responsibilities and related expenses for any change in the contract. Nevertheless, FEGC commenced the construction with mechanical excavation and an additional operating expense of NT$26,313 thousand (US$844 thousand) incurred. FEGC applied for mediation to Complaint Review Board for Government Procurement, PCC but the mediation failed because both parties could not reach a compromise. FEGC will initiate an action demanding performance with the Tainan District Court following service of the certificate of unsuccessful mediation.

Furthermore, because of several problems, not attributable to FEGC, involved in the pipe jacking required for this construction, FEGC suggested that the construction should be extended to April 6, 2009. However, STSP disagreed and refused to pay the extra costs of NT$3,080 thousand (US$99 thousand) for FEGC's removal of the scrap piles. Thus FEGC applied for mediation to Complaint Review Board for Government Procurement, PCC but the mediation failed because both parties could not reach a compromise. FEGC will initiate an action demanding performance with the Tainan District Court following service of the certificate of unsuccessful mediation.

In 2008, FEGC accrued a construction loss of NT$119,949 thousand (US$3,846 thousand).

l. An FENC subsidiary, FEGC, together with Pan Asia Corporation ("Pan Asia") and Iwata Chizaki Construction Corporation, Taipei Branch ("Iwata") entered into a contract to undertake "Area CR3 of Kaohsiung Rapid Transit-Red line" ("KRT"). FEGC claimed that, although the entire construction had been completed and KRT has been operating for two years, it had not received the payment balance of NT$284,187 thousand (US$9,111 thousand). Thus, FEGC, Pan Asia and Iwata have initiated an action demanding performance with the Kaohsiung District Court.

FEGC also claimed that, under Article 20.2 of the contract, KRT should pay an amount of NT$312,844 thousand (US$10,030 thousand) subject to the price adjustment clause and paid extra costs such as the management fees of NT$164,857 thousand (US$5,286 thousand) resulting from several problems, not attributable to FEGC, delaying the completion date for 277 days. Since KRT did not make the foregoing payments, FEGC, Pan Asia and Iwata have applied for mediation in the Kaohsiung District Court. But after the mediation was carried out one time, both parties have agreed the proceedings pending the outcome of the arbitration between the KRT and Kaohsiung City Government.

Moreover, FEGC claimed that: (1) FEGC, Pan Asia and Iwata were requested by KRT to include four additional items into the construction of Stations R8 and R9, the works which were not in the original construction contract; these four additional items entailed a cost increase of NT$75,205 thousand (US$2,411 thousand). (2) FEGC, Pan Asia and Iwata were requested by KRT to add seven items into the construction of Station R8 and Station R7, the works which were not in the original construction

F-355

contract; these seven additional items entailed an extra cost of NT$219,730 thousand (US$7,045 thousand). (3) FEGC, Pan Asia and Iwata were requested by KRC to include 53 additional items in the constructions of water and electricity facilities, the works which were not in the original construction contract. These additional items entailed an additional cost of NT$142,082 thousand (US$4,555 thousand). KRT, however, refused to amend the original construction contract and refused to pay all the above mentioned additional costs. Thus, FEGC, Pan Asia and Iwata have initiated an action demanding performance in the Kaohsiung District Court.

m. For the construction Taiwan Power Company (TPC) subcontracted to FEGC, FEGC had to pay a certain fine of NT$23,000 thousand (US$737 thousand) for a bid deposit call. This fine was based on the Government Procurement Act and TPC's construction contract. FEGC has applied for mediation to Complaint Review Board for Government Procurement, PCC but, on October 24, 2008, PCC made a decision of case not entertained. TPC thus requested the Administrative Enforcement Agency to enforce the penalty concerned. As of March 5, 2010, the date of the accompanying independent auditors' report, this case was still in the procedure in the Administrative Enforcement Agency.

n. For the issues related to the contract that FEGC undertook the construction of the Taipei City Market Administrative Office, an action was brought before the Taipei District Court to claim that Taipei City Market Administrative Office should pay the delayed payment of NT$150,177 thousand (US$4,815 thousand) and the interest from September 14, 2007 to January 18, 2009 amounted to NT$10,032 thousand (US$322 thousand). In 2009, the Taipei District Courts rendered its judgment to reject the all suits filed by FEGC. FEGC has filed an appeal which was currently in the procedure in the Taiwan High Court.

o. FEETC was entrusted by the Taiwan Area National Freeway Bureau to collect electronic tolls on freeways and has signed a third-party benefit trust contract with FEIB to manage the tolls collected. The trust property for this agreement amounted to NT$933,899 thousand (US$29,942 thousand) as of December 31, 2009.

34. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

a. The registered capital of PLT, an investee of the Company, was previously NT$4,010,000 thousand (US$128,567 thousand), representing 401,000 thousand shares at a par value of NT$10.00 (US$0.32). On February 3, 2010, following a letter from the Taiwan High Prosecutors Office, the MOEA decided to nullify the registrations of several tranches of capital increases given to PLT, the registrations of amendments of Articles of Incorporation, the registrations of elected and appointed representatives of Board of Directors and Supervisors on November 13, 2002, May 1, 2003, August 8, 2005, August 3, 2006, June 6, 2007 and July 16, 2008. As a result, the capital amount of PLT reverted to the original NT$10,000 thousand (US$321 thousand), representing 1 million common shares.

After consulting its legal counsel on the MOEA's decision, the Company was advised that the MOEA's nullification of the registration of capital increase and other relevant registrations did not change the Company's controlling interests in PLT. Any doubt about the Company's interests in PLT should be brought to the court and decided under a civil litigation process. Based on these legal opinions, the MOEA's decision has not invalidated the capital increases made by the Company and the Company's subsidiaries. Thus, the Company retains its economic control over PLT.

The percentage ownership of PLT held by the Group reached 39.68%. Based on the local GAAP, these holdings were accounted for by the equity-method.

On January 27, 2010, PLT filed an appeal with the Taiwan High Prosecutors Office and pleaded for the withdrawal of the notice letter and cessation of the enforcement. On February 10, 2010, PLT filed an appeal to the MOEA to withdraw the decision and pleaded for ceasing of the enforcement of such decision; on February 24, 2010, FEDS, the parent company of PLT, also filed an appeal to MOEA to withdraw the decision and pleaded for ceasing of the enforcement of such decision. On February 10, 2010, FEDS filed a suit with the Taipei District Court to ensure the validity of FEDS's ownership of PLT.

b. The Company had obtained the approval for its new investments from Investment Commission under MOEA, ROC Executive Yuan on December 25, 2009. In February 2010, the Company purchased 42 thousand shares of PETH from its subsidiary, Ding Yuan International Investment Corp., for NT$659,422 thousand (US$21,142 thousand) and purchase another 42 thousand shares of PETH from its related party, OUCC, for NT$659,422 thousand (US$21,142 thousand). Thus, the Company's percentage of ownership over PETH increased from 49.42% to 85.28%.

b. The methods and assumptions used in estimating fair values are as follows:

1) The carrying values of short-term instruments reported in the balance sheet approximate the fair values of these assets because of the short maturities of these instruments, including cash, notes and accounts receivable, net, receivables from related parties, other receivables, short-term bank loans, commercial paper, notes and accounts payable, net, payable to related parties, accrued expense and payable to supplies of machinery and equipment.

If quoted market prices are available, these are used as fair values of derivatives. Otherwise, the fair value is evaluated by the Group using the same estimates and assumptions used by other market participants (e.g., banks or derivative sellers) to value the derivatives. These estimates and assumptions are available to the Group.

The Group uses the exchange rate quotations of the Reuters (or the Associated Press) to calculate the fair value of each interest rate swap and forward contract based on the net cash flows and the exchange rates, respectively.

3) The fair values of financial assets carried at cost — noncurrent and bonds carried at amortized cost, which have no quoted prices in an active market and entail an unreasonably high cost to obtain verifiable fair values. Therefore, fair values cannot be reasonably measured.

4) If quoted market prices are available, these are used as fair values of held-to-maturity financial assets - noncurrent; otherwise, fair values will be measured by carrying values.

5) Fair values of bonds payable, lease payable and long-term loans (all including current portion) are measured at the present values of expected cash flows, which are discounted at the interest rates for bank loans with similar maturities. Public traded bonds are measured at traded prices.

6) Refundable deposits and guarantee deposits (including the current portion) receivable are recorded at their carrying values because the fair value approximates the carrying value.

d. As of December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, financial assets exposed to fair value interest rate risk amounted to NT$19,124,250 thousand and NT$16,017,578 thousand and NT$10,345,774 thousand (US$331,702 thousand), respectively, financial liabilities exposed to fair value interest rate risk amounted to NT$78,795,939 thousand, NT$62,482,356 thousand and NT$75,074,427 thousand (US$2,407,003 thousand), respectively, financial assets exposed to cash flow interest rate risk amounted to NT$5,519,193 thousand, NT$7,406,438 thousand and NT$13,337,273 thousand (US$427,614 thousand), respectively, financial liabilities exposed to cash flow interest rate risk amounted to NT$13,055,609 thousand, NT$34,121,843 thousand and NT$13,160,971 thousand (US$421,961 thousand), respectively.

e. Financial risks

Forward exchange contracts and currency option contracts

The Group entered into forward exchange contracts and currency option contracts to hedge the effect of adverse exchange rate fluctuations on foreign-denominated assets or liabilities (Note 7).

Interest rate swap contracts

The Company entered into interest rate swap contracts to hedge against adverse fluctuations of interest rates of secured unconvertible bonds (69th, 70th, 71st and 72nd tranches), and these bonds were all fully repaid before the end of 2009.

F-359

YDI entered into in interest rate swap contracts to hedge against adverse interest rate fluctuations of secured unconvertible bonds - 9th tranche. These bonds had all been redeemed at their full amount by the end of 2009. The gain or loss arising from interest rate fluctuation is expected to be offset gain or loss arising from hedged items. Therefore, the market risk is not material.

In 2007, 2008 and 2009, Far EasTone used interest rate swap contracts to hedge against the adverse effects of interest rate fluctuations on its obligations with floating interest rates. The contracts are settled at net amounts. Thus, the market risk is not material.

Cross currency swap contracts

An FENC subsidiary, KG Telecom, entered into cross-currency swap contracts to hedge against the adverse effects of exchange rate fluctuations on foreign-denominated assets in 2009. The gains or losses on the changes in fair values on these contracts is expected to offset the results of the exchange rate fluctuations of the hedged items. Thus, market risk is expected to be immaterial.

Cotton futures contracts

The Group entered into cotton futures contracts to hedge fluctuations of cotton prices (Note 7).

Others

Fair values of mutual funds and domestic quoted stocks held by YDI, Yuan Tong, FECC, FEGC, Far EasTone, KG Telecom and ARCOA are determined at their quoted prices in an active market; thus, market price fluctuations would cause changes in the fair values of these investments. However, market risk is expected to be immaterial because the performance of these investments were periodically evaluated by the foregoing subsidiaries.

2) Credit risk

Credit risk represents the potential loss that would be incurred by the Group if the counter-parties breached contracts. Financial instruments with positive fair values at the balance sheet date are evaluated for credit risk. The counter-parties to the foregoing financial instruments are reputable financial institutions and business organizations. Management does not expect the Group's exposure to default by those parties to be material.

3) Liquidity risk

The exchange rates of forward exchange contracts and currency option contracts, interest of interest rate swap contracts and prices of cotton futures contracts are fixed and certain. In addition, the Group has sufficient operating capital to meet cash flow requirements. Thus, the Group does not have liquidity risk. However, financial assets carried at cost have no active market; thus, material liquidity risk on these assets is anticipated.

Some investments in equity instruments have no active markets; therefore, the liquidity risk is expected to be high.

On February 26, 2009, an FENC subsidiary, Yuan Tong bought convertible bonds issued by Bockhold N.V. The purchase amount was recognized as investment in an inactive market - bonds; the value of the conversion right was recognized as financial assets carried at cost because it has no quoted price in active market. Thus, material liquidity risk on this investment is expected to be high.

Some FENC subsidiaries, YDI, Yuan Tong, FECC, FEGC, Far EasTone Telecom Co., Ltd., KG Telecom and ARCOA, invested in domestic quoted stocks, bonds and mutual funds that have quoted prices in active markets and can be sold immediately at prices close to their fair values. However, KG Telecom also invested in some private fund with no quoted prices in an active market; thus, this investment was expected to have material liquidity risks.

ARCOA also invested in financial bonds and equity instruments with no quoted prices in active market; thus, these investments could expose ARCOA to material liquidity risks.

F-360

The subsidiaries of YDI and Kai-Yuan Investment Co., Ltd. participated in private placement of the shares in FEIB. Under the Securities and Exchange Law, Article 43-8 specifies that the privately placed securities are subjected to the restrictions of holding period and trading volume. As a result, liquidity risk on these securities is anticipated.

An FENC subsidiary, KG Telecom, engaged in cross-currency swap contracts in 2009, which resulted in simultaneous cash inflows and outflows upon maturity; thus, the cash demand is not expected to be significant.

4) Cash-flow risk from interest rate fluctuations

In 2009, an FENC subsidiary, Far EasTone and its subsidiary had short-term and long-term debts with floating interest rates change. As a result, the effective interest rates on these loans will change as the market interest rates change.

f. Cash flow hedge

The Company's 69th, 70th, 71st and 72nd tranches of secured nonconvertible bonds, YDI's 9th tranche of secured nonconvertible bond and the liability of Far EasTone Telecom Co., Ltd. may cause material cash flow risks because of these instruments have floating interest rates; thus, these companies used interest rate swaps to hedge against the risks.

The Company's 69th, 70th, 71st, and 72nd tranches of secured nonconvertible bonds and YDI's 9th tranche of secured nonconvertible bonds had been redeemed at the end of 2009.

KG Telecom used cross-currency swaps to hedge against cash flow fluctuations on its foreign-denominated assets.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Far Eastern New Century Corporation

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Far Eastern New Century Corporation (the "Company," formerly Far Eastern Textile Ltd.) and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2009 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the nine months then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to issue a report based on our reviews.

Except for the matters disclosed in the next paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with Statement of Auditing Standards No. 36 - "Review of Financial Statements" of the Republic of China. A review consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of certain subsidiaries as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010 have not been reviewed. The total assets of these subsidiaries were 57.65% (NT$148,951,048 thousand) and 56.12% (NT$161,013,720 thousand (US$ 5,162,351 thousand)), and the total liabilities of these subsidiaries were 47.40% (NT$57,983,807 thousand) and 41.16% (NT$58,200,963 thousand (US$ 1,866,014 thousand)), of the related consolidated amounts as of September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The total operating revenues of these subsidiaries were 37.25% (NT$44,762,133 thousand) and 42.27% (NT$61,133,175 thousand (US$ 1,960,025 thousand)) of the related consolidated operating revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively. Further, as discussed in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of certain equity-method investees as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010 have not been reviewed. The aggregate carrying values of these equity-method investees were NT$33,889,613 thousand and NT$35,210,806 thousand (US$1,128,913 thousand) as of September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively, and investment incomes from equity-method investees were NT$2,110,935 thousand and NT$1,555,997 thousand (US$49,888 thousand) for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

Based on our reviews, except for the effects of any adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had we reviewed the financial statement of certain subsidiaries and equity-method investees referred to in the preceding paragraph, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements of the Company and subsidiaries referred to above for them to be in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, Order No. VI-0960064020 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the ROC Executive Yuan on November 15, 2007, and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.

As discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, on January 1, 2009, the Company and its subsidiaries have adopted the newly revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("Statement" or SFAS) No. 10 - "Inventories." This accounting change resulted in decreases of NT$202,377 thousand in consolidated net income attributable to stockholders' of parent company and a decrease of NT$0.04 in basic earnings per share after income tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Note 30 (j) to the financial statements discussed a case related to the Department of Commerce's nullification of Pacific Liu Tung Investment Corporation's (PLT, an equity-method investee of the Company) registration of capital increase and relevant registrations. The impact of this case on Far Eastern New Century Corporation's controlling interest and several share subscriptions done by the Company and its subsidiaries, which are the investors of PLT, will depend on the final judgment of the court.

Our reviews also comprehended the translation of the New Taiwan dollar amounts into U.S. dollar amounts and, in our opinion, such translation has been made in conformity with the basis stated in Note 2. Such U.S. dollar amounts are presented solely for the convenience of readers.

October 25, 2010

For the convenience of readers, the accountants' review report and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language accountants' review report and consolidated financial statements shall prevail.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2010
(In Thousands, Unless Stated Otherwise)
(Reviewed, Not Audited)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Group's significant accounting policies are summarized as follows:

FENC's direct and indirect subsidiaries (i.e., investees with more than 50% of their voting shares owned by FENC or defacto control) are included in the consolidated financial statements. For subsidiaries acquired during the reporting period, the accounts of their revenues and expenses generated before the acquisition date need not be consolidated. If FENC loses control over its subsidiaries during the reporting period, their revenues and expenses generated after the control lose date need not be consolidated.

All significant intercompany transactions and balances were excluded from the consolidation.

In February 2009, an FENC subsidiary, Sino Belgium (Holding) Ltd. ("Sino"), issued 2,415 new shares at US$2 thousand per share amounting to US$4,830 thousand but another subsidiary and also an investor of Sino, Yuan Tong Investment Co., Ltd. ("Yuan Tong"), did not buy any of Sino's newly issued shares. Thus, the interest of Yuan Tong in Sino decreased from 100% to 87.5%.

In February 2009, an FENC subsidiary, Sino, acquired 30% equity in Martens Beer (Shanghai) Ltd. ("Martens Shanghai") from another subsidiary, Far Eastern Industries (Wuxi) Ltd. and then bought the remaining 70% equity from an original shareholder, Martens HK Ltd.. With the Group thus acquiring 100% equity in Martens Shanghai, this investee began to be included in the consolidated financial report in March 2009.

On July 31, 2009, the board of Far Eastern Industries (Jujiang) Ltd. ("FEIJ," an FENC subsidiary), decided to liquidate FEIJ, and the government of the People's Republic of China approved this liquidation on December 14, 2009. As of December 31, 2009, the liquidation amounts had been returned to the original stockholders.

In February 2010, the Company acquired 42.347 thousand shares of PET Far Eastern (Holding) Ltd. ("PETH") from a related party, Oriental Union Chemical Corporation ("OUCC"), for NT$659,422.5 thousand (US$21,142 thousand). Thus, the Group's holding in PETH increased from 87.07% to 100%.

An FENC subsidiary, Yuan Cing Infocomm Tech Co., Ltd. ("YCIC"), was incorporated on December 30, 2009. It is wholly owned by Far EasTone. YCIC mainly provides sales of communications products.

To integrate the resources and enhance the operating efficiency of the subsidiary, Far EasTone Telecommunications Co., Ltd. ("Far EasTone"), and KG Telecommunications Co., Ltd. ("KG Telecom," formerly Far EasTone's 100% subsidiary), the boards of directors of both companies resolved to approve their merger on February 26, 2009, with Far EasTone as the successor entity. On August 28, 2009, National Communications Commission (NCC) approved this merger, and the record date of this merger was January 1, 2010. The merger was approved on January 1, 2010, after the registration with the ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA).

To prepare for the era of service convergence, Far EasTone aims to enhance the business cooperation between its mobile and fixed-line components by group integration to provide more comprehensive telecom services to consumers as well as to reach the long-term synergy in operating costs. On June 25, 2010, the board of directors of YCIC resolved to conduct a tender offer to acquire the common shares of New Century InfoComm Tech Co., Ltd. ("NCIC") with the price at NT$10.93 (US$0.35) per share.

As of August 16, 2010, the expiry date of the tender offer, YCIC had acquired 1,762,945 thousand shares of NCIC's common shares, which included 577,732 thousand shares acquired from related parties for NT$6,314,615 thousand (US$202,456 thousand), as follows: Yuang Tong - 312,221 thousand shares; Yuan Ding Investment Co., Ltd. ("YDI") - 100,694 thousand shares; Der Ching Investment Corporation - 63,000 thousand shares; Bai Ding Investment Ltd. - 24,386 thousand shares; New Diligent Co., Ltd. - 16,822 thousand shares; Yuan Ding Co., Ltd. - 16,337 thousand shares; Vai Yang Investment Co. - 11,251 thousand shares; Tranquil Enterprise Ltd. - 10,945 thousand shares; Yue-Tung Investment Corporation - 8,800 thousand shares; the Company - 8,000 thousand shares; Far Eastern New Century Corporation - 2,605 thousand shares; Asia Investment Corp. - 2,605 thousand shares and Yue Ding Industry Co., Ltd. - 66 thousand shares.

The shares acquired through the tender offer in addition to Far EasTone's own holding of 695,096 thousand shares of NCIC, Far EasTone and YCIC jointly owned 94.56% of NCIC's common shares. Thus, the accounts of NCIC's and its subsidiaries' revenues and expenses were included in the consolidated financial statements since August 16, 2010.

Moreover, on August 31, 2010, the boards of directors of Far EasTone and YCIC resolved to merge NCIC through a two-stage process. In the first stage, YCIC will conduct a share swap with NCIC based on Article 29 of the Enterprise Merger and Acquisition Law (EM&A Law). As a result, NCIC will become a 100% owned subsidiary of YCIC. The expected share swap ratio of 1:1 and the expected record date of the share swap is February 25, 2011. The share swap was resolved in the special stockholders' meetings of both YCIC and NCIC on October 5, 2010. After the share swap, Far EasTone will conduct a merger with YCIC at the target price of NT$10.93 (US$0.35) per share, with Far EasTone as the successor entity in the second stage. Thus, NCIC will become a 100% owned subsidiary of Far EasTone. Far EasTone and YCIC would hold the meetings of board of directors separately to resolve the proposals at each phase of merger in accordance with the related laws and regulations.

To meet YCIC's capital needs for the tender offer and enhance its working capital, Far EasTone's board of directors resolved on June 25, 2010 that Far EasTone subscribed for YCIC's shares issued for capital increase at NT$15,000,000 thousand (US$480,923 thousand) in cash and would provide a loan to YCIC a maximum of NT$6,000,000 thousand (US$192,369 thousand). Far EasTone's board of directors also approved to authorize the chairman of board of directors of Far EasTone to allow YCIC to make a drawdown on the loan within the credit line of NT$6,000,000 thousand (US$192,369 thousand) within one year from the loan grant date. As of October 25, 2010, Far EasTone had lent NT$4,300,000 thousand (US$137,865 thousand) to YCIC.

For the intercompany relationships, percentages of ownership and operations of subsidiaries for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, refer to Schedules A and B (attached).

Except for the financial statements of Far EasTone, Arcoa Communication Co., Ltd. ("ARCOA"), YCIC as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010 and the financial statements of NCIC as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 had been reviewed, the financial statements of the remaining subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements had not been reviewed by independent accountants. The total assets of these subsidiaries were 57.65% (NT$148,951,048 thousand) and 56.12% (NT$161,013,720 thousand (US$5,162,351 thousand)), and the total liabilities of these subsidiaries were 47.40% (NT$57,983,807 thousand) and 41.16% (NT$58,200,963 thousand (US$1,866,014 thousand)), of the related consolidated amounts as of September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The total operating revenues of these subsidiaries were 37.25% (NT$44,762,133 thousand) and 42.27% (NT$61,133,175 thousand (US$1,960,025 thousand)) of the related consolidated operating revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

4. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

On January 1, 2009, the Group adopted the newly revised SFAS No. 10 - "Accounting for Inventories." The main revisions are (a) inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and inventories are written down to net realizable value item-by-item except when the grouping of similar or related items is appropriate; (b) unallocated overheads are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred; and (c) abnormal costs, write-downs of inventories and any reversal of write-downs should be classified as cost of goods sold. This accounting change resulted in decreases of NT$202,377 thousand in consolidated net income attributable to stockholders' of parent company and of NT$0.04 in basic earnings per share after income tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

The above investments, which had no quoted prices in an active market and of which fair values could not be reliably measured, were carried at cost.

Investment in Alberta & Orient Glycol Company Ltd. was accounted for by the cost method since the Group could not exercise significant influence over this investee although the Group owned more than 20% of his investees' voting stock.

In January 2009, an FENC subsidiary, Yuan Tong, acquired 13% equity in Bockhold N.V. for NT$223,533 thousand and then bought a convertible bond issued by Bockhold N.V. (Note 8) on February 26, 2009. However, since the bond was an investment in an inactive market, it was recognized as a financial asset carried at cost amounting to NT$7,895 thousand.

Kai Yuang Trust Fund, which was invested by an FENC subsidiary, FEIH, had completed its liquidation process and returned the proceeds to its investors in the first quarter of 2010 with a gain of NT$104,675 thousand (US$3,356 thousand).

According to interpretation 1998-150 issued by the Accounting Research and Development Foundation, FEGC, the build-operate-transfer (BOT) chartered investor of Kaohsiung Rapid Transit Corporation ("KRTC") will have to transfer all assets to the government without any condition at the end of the chartered period and amortize this investment within the chartered period. KRTC started the construction of its high-speed train system on October 31, 2001 and then began the commercial operation in April 2008. The 36-year charter period will end on October 31, 2037. The amortization period of this investment started in April 2008 for 29 years and 7 months. The amortization expenses were NT$5,070 thousand and NT$2,919 thousand (US$94 thousand) which were recognized as impairment loss on assets for the nine months ended

F-510

^{}[] September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively. However, because of poor performance of KRTC in many years, FEGC recognized impairment losses of NT$79,856 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2009 and NT$24,939 thousand (US$800 thousand) for the nine months ended September 30 2010 after the assessment of KRTC.

13. EQUITY-METHOD INVESTMENTS

F-511

Investments in FEDS and Ding Ding Hotel Co., Ltd. for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, Far Eastern International Bank for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and Ding Ding Integrated Marketing Service Co., Ltd. ("DDIMS") for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were accounted for by the equity-method since the Group exercised a significant influence over them, even though the Group owned less than 20% of each Investee's voting stock.

The Group committed to provide continuous financial support to Far Eastern International Garments Inc. and Cemtex Apparel Inc. and recognized credit balances on the carrying values of the related long-term investments under Other liabilities - other.

In 2009, the Group bought 7,352 thousand shares of Asia Cement Corporation ("ACC") for NT$219,167 thousand and sold 67,631 thousand ACC shares for NT$2,215,557 thousand. Thus, the Group's equity interest in ACC decreased from 25.90% to 23.85%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the subsidiaries, YDI, Yuan Tong, Kai Yuan International Investment Co., Ltd. ("Kai Yuan") and Ding Yuan International Investment Co., Ltd. ("Ding Yuan"), bought 21,688 thousand shares of ACC for NT$664,145 thousand (US$21,294 thousand); thus, the Group's equity interest in ACC increased from 23.85% to 24.55%.

In 2009, two FENC subsidiaries, YDI and Ding Yuan, bought 12,279 thousand shares of OUCC for NT$194,978 thousand and sold 10,810 thousand shares for NT$260,224 thousand. Thus, the Group's equity interest in OUCC increased from 22.56% to 24.08% and then decreased to 22.74%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, YDI and Kai Yuan, sold 320 thousand shares of OUCC for NT$9,241 thousand (US$296 thousand); Ding Yuan bought 230 thousand shares of OUCC for NT$5,780 thousand (US$185 thousand); thus, the Group's equity interest in OUCC decreased from 22.74% to 22.72%.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, Yuan Tong, Kai Yuan and Ding Yuan, sold 20,674 thousand shares of FEDS for NT$649,752 thousand. YDI, bought 2,419 thousand shares of FEDS for NT$86,231 thousand. Thus, the Group's equity interest in FEDS decreased from 19.58% to 18.04%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, Yuan Tong, Kai Yuan and Ding Yuan bought 11,419 thousand shares of FEDS for NT$341,089 thousand (US$10,936 thousand); thus, the Group's equity interest in FEDS increased from 18.04% to 18.99%.

On June 10, 2009, the shareholders of Far Eastern International Bank ("FEIB") decided to offset deficits of NT$4,075,208 thousand through capital reduction on June 30, 2009, which is the record date of the capital reduction. Thus, the Group's holding in FEIB was decreased by 65,341 thousand shares.

In 2008, the Group participated in FEIB's private placement for 127,601 thousand shares for NT$829,407 thousand, and this investment was treated in the category of restriction of transfer of ownership as stated in Section 8 of Article 43 of the ROC Securities and Exchange Act. In addition, FEIB had a board of directors' election in its shareholders' meeting on June 10, 2009. FENC and one of its subsidiaries, YDI, lost their three seats in the board and no longer had significant influence over FEIB since the new board's term began on June 27, 2009. Thus, the Group reclassified the carrying value of the shares privately issued by FEIB to Financial assets carried at cost, and the remaining carrying value of FEIB was reclassified to available-for-sale financial assets - noncurrent.

In 2009, Everest Textile Co., Ltd. ("Everest Textile") purchased its shares from the open market, and this treasury stock transaction caused the Group's holding in this company to increase from 25.99% to 27.07%. In addition, Ding Yuan bought 17 thousand shares of Everest Textile for NT$97 thousand (US$3 thousand) in March 2010.

In 2009, YDI and Kai Yuan acquired 19,001 thousand shares issued by Far Eastern International Leasing Corp. ("FEILC") for NT$190,008 thousand, and their equity interest in FEILC increased from 33.12% to 33.67%.

In July 2009, YDI, acquired 5,302 thousand shares issued by Da Ju Fiber Co., Ltd. for NT$127,258 thousand.

In July 2009, Ding Yuan acquired 9,120 thousand shares of the shares newly issued by Yue Ding Industry Co., Ltd. for NT$91,200 thousand. Thus, the Group's equity interest in Yue Ding Industry Co. increased from 27.81% to 28.87%.

In order to simplify structure of the investments, YDI sold 20 thousand shares of Pacific Petrochemical (Holding) Ltd. ("PPL") to the related parties of the Group, OUCC, for NT$645,047 thousand (US$20,681 thousand) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

On June 5, 2009, the stockholders of NCIC decided to offset deficits of NT$14,005,510 thousand through capital reduction, with August 1, 2009 as the record date of capital reduction. Thus, the Group's holding of NCIC decreased by 596,147 thousand shares.

F-512

As of August 16, 2010, the expiry date of the tender offer, Far EasTone and YCIC jointly own 94.56% of NCIC's common shares; thus, the accounts of NCIC's and its subsidiaries' revenues and expenses have been included in the consolidated financial statements since then. (Note 1) In addition, Far EasTone and NCIC jointly own the shares of DDIMS; thus, the Group's equity interest in DDIMS increased from 15% to 20% after inclusion the accounts of NCIC in the consolidated financial statements.

The earnings from equity-method investments was based on the reviewed financial statements of ACC, FEDS, OUCC, Everest Textile and NCIC as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010 and the reviewed financial statements of FEIB as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Except for the financial statements of FEIB as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2009, the accountants issued a qualified opinion on the financial statements of the rest companies presented above as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010. The aggregate carrying amounts of equity-method investments, including the financial statements not been reviewed and those financial statements which had been reviewed but issued qualified opinions by their accountants, were NT$33,889,613 thousand and NT$35,210,806 thousand (US$1,128,913 thousand) as of September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively; the earnings from these equity-method investees were NT$2,110,935 thousand and NT$1,555,997 thousand (US$49,888 thousand), respectively for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010.

Market prices of the equity-method investments were as follows:

The difference between the investment cost and the equity in the investees' net assets as of September 30, 2009 and 2010 is as follows:

The decreased of goodwill of NT$252,188 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was resulted from reclassification of investment on FEIB to financial assets carried at cost and available-for-sale financial assets — noncurrent after the Group lost the significant influence on FEIB.

14. HELD-TO-MATURITY FINANCIAL ASSETS - NONCURRENT

In September 2009 an FENC subsidiary, KG Telecom (no longer existed after the merger with Far EasTone, on January 1, 2010), bought five-year corporate bonds for NT$199,540 thousand (the face value of NT$200,000 thousand) issued by ACC with an effective interest rate of 2.004% and coupon interest rate of 1.95%.

15. PROPERTIES

a. Accumulated depreciation consisted of:

b. Accumulated impairment consisted of:

Under government regulations, the Company revalued the properties (excluding land) in 1983 and the lands in 1994. The resulting appreciation was accounted for as an increase in the carrying value of the properties and properties leased to others. A reserve for land value increment tax was also recognized, and the net appreciation was credited to unrealized appreciation under equity.

The Company and ACC co-own a parcel of land located on Dunhua South Road in Taipei. Under an agreement between the Company and ACC on March 31, 1989, Yuan Ding Co., Ltd. ("Yuan Ding") paid for the construction of a multi-functional building on this land and owned the 30 years right of superficies. However, the ownership of the building should have been registered on the Company, ACC and Yuan Ding by 12%, 12% and 76%. Upon expiration of the agreement, the Company and ACC will acquire the remaining 76% ownership of the building from Yuan Ding with the carrying value of the building.

On September 2, 2003, the Company transferred the real estate development rights (including those on operating and nonoperating properties and farmland) from its investment department to its wholly owned subsidiary, Far Eastern Resources Development Co. ("FERD"). When the contract described in the preceding paragraph is terminated, the property right of the co-owned building will be also transferred to FERD.

At the end of 2007, FERD granted Far Eastern. Y. Z. Hsu Science and Technology Memorial Foundation a right of superficies of 9 parcels of land in Yongfeng Section, Bade City, Taoyuan County for 35 years and received royalties of NT$228,571 thousand for right of superficies, which was recognized as deferred incomes. The royalties are recognized as rent revenue over the superficies period.

The capitalized interests on properties were NT$35,895 thousand and NT$17,209 thousand (US$552 thousand) and the capitalized interest rate was 0.6%-6.83% and 0.04%-1.69% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

Depreciation expenses were NT$11,952,991 thousand and NT$11,311,657 thousand (US$362,669 thousand) for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

16. GOODWILL AND OPERATING RIGHTS

a. Goodwill

If acquisition cost of an investment exceeds its fair value of identifiable net assets acquired, and the source of this excess cannot be identified, this excess should be recorded as goodwill. Goodwill mainly resulted from the mergers and acquisitions of majority ownerships by its subsidiary, Far EasTone.

Under SFAS No. 35 - "Accounting for Asset Impairment," Far EasTone and its subsidiaries are identified identifiable cash-generating units as follows:

To enhance the operating effectiveness, Far EasTone integrated its telecommunications resources actively in 2008 and 2009. Thus, the identifiable cash-generating units were defined as mobile telecommunications service business, telecommunication equipment business and WiFly business, which were divided by distinct business functions.

On December 31, 2008 and 2009, the carrying values of the tangible and intangible assets used by Far EasTone and its subsidiaries were NT$63,927,354 thousand and NT$57,910,640 thousand, respectively. Far EasTone's management took value in use to assess its recoverable amounts of core assets and took the expected useful lives into consideration for the cash flow forecast. Therefore, the discount rates on December 31, 2008 are 12.64% for mobile telecommunications service business, 16.88% for telecommunications equipment business and 10.00% for WiFly business and the discount rates on December 31, 2009 are 10.61% for the mobile telecommunications service business, 10.42% for the telecommunications equipment business and 10.00% for WiFly business. The operating revenue forecast was based on the expected future growth rate of the telecom industry along with the prospective advancement of the business.

The principal assumptions and the relevant measurement of the recoverable amounts of Far EasTone and its subsidiaries are summarized as follows:

1) Expected future growth rate of the telecommunications industry

a) Mobile voice service (MVS): The anticipated MVS growth rate is based on the actual effective customer and revenues in prior years. Since the market of 2G telecommunications services market is mature and there will be increased use of 3G telecommunications services, the growth rate is expected to be stable.

b) Mobile data service (MDS): The demand for MDS is expected to grow. However, given the cycle in the industry, the growth rate for MDS will gradually decrease annually.

c) Business of selling cellular phone units: Based on past experience, plans and the trend in the overall market, the anticipated growth rate is expected to decrease gradually.

d) WiFly business: Based on the current WiFly business operation model and the demand of Wifly, the growth rate is expected to be stable.

2) Expected ratio of service EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) to operating revenue:

There was no significant change in the ratio in 2008 and 2009; this ratio is expected to decrease slightly in future years.

Far EasTone's management believed that any reasonable changes in the principal assumptions would not result in the carrying values exceeding the recoverable amounts. Estimated impairment losses of NT$20,000 thousand for 2008 and NT$44,315 thousand for 2009 were recorded, respectively. As of September 30, 2010, there were no significant changes showing the indicators that goodwill was impaired.

b. Operating rights (recognized as Intangible assets-other)

On August 16, 2010, YCIC acquired 67.82% of NCIC's common shares by a tender offer at NT$10.93 (US$0.35) per share. Under SFAS No. 25 - "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 37 - "Intangible Assets" Far EasTone and its subsidiaries should measure the fair value of the acquired net assets and identify major intangible assets as well as the amortization periods. Thus, the identifiable cash-generating units of NCIC and its subsidiaries were defined as integrated network business and network information security business. The operating rights on the integrated network business was identified and recognized accordingly.

26. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Under the Company Law, capital surplus can only be used to offset a deficit. However, capital surplus from share issued in excess of par (additional paid-in capital from issuance of common shares, premiums on capital stocks resulting from newly issued stocks after enterprise merger and acquisition and treasury stock transaction) and donations enables to be capitalized and then proportionately issues new shares to the stockholders; the new capital is limited within a certain amount in each year. In addition, capital surplus from equity-method investments may not be used for any purpose.

According to the Company's articles of incorporation, the net income should make up the accumulated deficits after paying its business income tax. If there is still a surplus, it will be used for appropriation with last year's unappropriated earnings after recognizing 10% of the surplus as legal reserve and recognizing special reserve under government regulations. The Company would remain a certain amount for future expansion plans and then appropriate in the percentage presented as follows:

%
a. Dividends60.0
b. Bonus for stockholders33.0
c. Bonus for employees4.0
d. Remuneration for directors and supervisors3.0

All appropriations are approved by the stockholders in the next year and disclose them in the financial statements of the year after the next year. The Company's dividend policy should take the future economic condition and the future cash demands and taxation into account and should be appropriated in the percentage on the basis of the Company's articles of Incorporation to retain stable periodical dividend to stockholders. Dividend appropriation is not only to improve the financial structure of the Company and deal with the cash demands such as supporting the investments, expanding the productivity and significant capital expenditures, but also to keep the cash dividend remain not less than 10% of the aggregation of stock dividend and stockholders' bonus in the year.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, the bonuses to employees were estimated NT$247,913 thousand and NT$291,410 thousand (US$9,343 thousand), respectively, and the remunerations to directors and supervisors were NT$187,108 thousand and NT$218,558 thousand (US$7,007 thousand), respectively. According to the Company's articles of incorporation, the bonus to employees and the remuneration to directors and supervisors is respectively calculated by 4% and 3% of the estimated earning appropriation. If the actual amounts subsequently resolved by the stockholders differ from the estimates, the differences are recorded as a change in accounting estimate. If bonus shares are resolved to be distributed to employees, the number of shares is determined by dividing the amount of bonus by the closing price (after considering the effect of cash and stock dividends) of the shares of the date preceding the stockholders' meeting.

Legal reserve should be appropriated until it has reached the Company's paid-in capital. This reserve may be used to offset a deficit. When the legal reserve has reached 50% of the Company's paid-in capital, up to 50%, thereof the rest part may be transferred to capital.

The appropriation and distribution of the 2008 and 2009 earnings were approved by the shareholders on June 26, 2009 and June 22, 2010, respectively. The appropriations and dividends per share were as follows:

In the appropriation and distribution of 2009, capital increase from stock dividend of NT$932,270 thousand had been approved by Financial Supervisory Commission, ROC Executive Yuan on July 14, 2010. The effective date of this distribution is August 31, 2010 and approved by the Company's board of directors and registered on September 15, 2010.

The bonus to employees and the remunerations to directors and supervisors from the 2008 and 2009 approved in the Company's stockholders' meetings on June 26, 2009 and June 22, 2010, respectively, were as follows:

The Accounting Research and Development Foundation issued Interpretation 2007-052, which requires companies to recognize bonuses to employees, directors and supervisors as expenses instead of earning appropriations from January 1, 2008. If the Company decides to settle the employee bonus in cash or stock, it should presume that the entire amount of the bonus would be settled in the form of stock, and if the

F-530

resulting potential shares would have a dilutive effect, these shares should be included in the weighted-average number of shares outstanding to be used in the calculation of the diluted EPS. The number of shares is estimated by dividing the entire amount of the bonus by the closing price of the shares at the balance sheet date. The dilutive effect of the potential shares should be included in the calculation of the diluted EPS until the stockholders resolve the number of shares to be distributed to employees at their meeting in the following year.

28. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

g. The tax authorities of Taipei County imposed a land tax from 1999 to 2003 on the land in Banciao and penalized the Company with a triple fine on October 13, 2004, totaling NT$252,442 thousand, because the authorities believed that this land, which FENC registered as a property for manufacturing purposes, was being used for general purposes instead and that FENC did not register the change in land use. The Company disagreed with the tax authorities' decision and applied for reexamination on December 27, 2004. However, after the reexamination, the tax authorities did not reverse their decision. The Company filed a lawsuit against the authorities on June 1, 2005 but lost the lawsuit. Thus, the Company already accrued the losses for this case in 2005. On January 18, 2006, the Company filed an appeal with the Taipei High Administrative Court but still lost the lawsuit. The Company appealed to the Supreme Administrative Court (SAC) on January 3, 2007. The SAC rejected this appeal on May 31, 2007. On August 30, 2007, the Company paid the required land tax. Despite this payment, the Company again applied with SAC for reexamination on July 13, 2007. On May 27, 2009, the SAC rejected the appeal for a reexamination. Nevertheless, the Company is continuing to look for other ways to assert its rights.

h. On December 29, 2005, the board of directors of Tai Ya International Telecommunications Co., Ltd. ("TYIT") resolved to merge TYIT with Mobitai Communications Ltd. ("Mobitai"), in accordance with Article 19 of the Business Mergers and Acquisitions Act and set January 1, 2006 as the record date of the merger. TYIT is the successor company after the merger. Under the resolution of TYIT's board, the Company received NT$167,863 thousand from Mobitai in exchange for Mobitai's 11,469 thousand common shares (NT$14.68 per share) held by the Company. The Company disposed the investment in Mobitai and recognized a disposal gain of NT$31,814 thousand. However, the Company regarded Mobitai's purchase price was too low and raised an objection to Mobitai. Afterwards, the Company filed a lawsuit against TYIT. As of the report date, the lawsuit was still in the procedure at the Taipei district court.

i. Ming-Chiung Chang filed an incidental civil suit, in connection with the criminal case of forgery, against Ming-Chung Kuo (an FENC employee) and Hua-De Lin, Hung-Long Li and Yung-Gi Lai (the fiduciaries of PLT). Chang claimed that Kuo and Hua-De Lin, Hung-Long Li and Yung-Gi Lai colluded and used their positions to carry out transactions that resulted in his losses and asked the Taiwan High Court to declare that the ownership of Pacific Liu Tung Investment held by FEDS, FEDS's subsidiaries and the Group was just a fabrication, i.e., it never existed. In October 2009, Chang lost the lawsuit and then appealed to a higher court, SAC. On March 25, 2010 SAC overruled the judgment on the aforementioned criminal case and treated the accompanying civil suit as one case and returned the case to the Taiwan High Court for reexamination.

F-532

j. The registered capital of PLT, an investee of the Group was originally NT$4,010 million, representing 401 million shares at a par value of NT$10.00. On February 3, 2010, following a letter received from the Taiwan High Prosecutors Office, the Department of Commerce (DOC), the MOEA decided to nullify the registrations of several tranches of capital increases given to PLT, the registrations of amendments of Articles of Incorporation, the registrations of elected and appointed representatives of Board of Directors and Supervisors on November 13, 2002, May 1, 2003, August 8, 2005, August 3, 2006, June 6, 2007 and July 16, 2008. As a result, the capital amount of PLT reverted to NT$10,000 thousand, representing 1 million common shares.

On January 27, 2010, PLT filed an administrative appeal with the DOC for the revocation of the letter sent to MOEA on the registration nullifications and requested the execution to be stayed pending such appeal. Subject to Article 77-8 of the Administrative Appeal Act, the Petitions and Appeals Committee (PAC) of the ROC Executive Yuan made a decision on March 9, 2010 that the case was not entertained on the basis that the letter was not qualified as an administrative disposition and thus beyond the scope of administrative appeal.

Moreover, on February 10, 2010, PLT again filed an administrative appeal with the MOEA pleading for the revocation of the administrative disposition and requested the execution to be stayed pending such appeal. On May 20, 2010, subject to Article 79-1 of the Administrative Appeal Act, PAC dismissed the administrative appeal considering the appeal was unsustainable. Accordingly, on July 26, 2010, PLT filed a suit with the Taipei High Administrative Court. On July 27, 2010, subject to Article 4-3 of the Administrative Procedure Law, FEDS, as an interested party of PLT, filed a suit with the Taipei High Administrative Court as well.

Furthermore, FEDS filed an administrative appeal with the MOEA on February 24, 2010 for the withdrawal of the administrative disposition and requested the execution to be stayed pending such proceedings. On April 14, 2010, subject to Article 77-3 of the Administrative Appeal Act, PAC decided that the case was not entertained because FEDS was not a party to whom an administrative disposition was issued nor an interested party at stake. Nevertheless, FEDS filed a suit with the Taipei High Administrative Court on June 15, 2010.

Also, FEDS filed a suit with the Taipei District Court to confirm the existence of FEDS's right of shareholder in PLT on February 10, 2010. However, FEDS notified the Taipei District Court on June 25, 2010 that FEDS and PLT had agreed to stay the proceeding by consent.

The Company's counsel advised that in the case the DOC has revoked the alteration of the registered capital, the following did not affect the Company's controlling interest in PLT: (a) the status and the decisions of the administrative remedies filed by FEDS and PLT, and (b) the suit in Taipei High Administrative Court stayed the proceeding by consent. Any dispute regarding the Company's interest in PLT should be brought to the court and decided through a civil litigation process. Based on this legal opinion, the MOEA's decision has not invalidated the capital increases made by the Company and the Company's subsidiaries. Thus, the Company retains its economic control over PLT.

The aggregate percentage of ownership in PLT by the Group has reached 39.68%. Based on the local GAAP, these holdings were accounted for by the equity-method.

k. An FENC subsidiary, FEGC, contracted the Southern Taiwan Science Park (STSP) to do underground cable construction. On June 28, 2007, FEGC's excavating machines were damaged because of unclear blueprints provided by STSP, which did not indicate the pipeline routes clearly. The accident resulted in the suspension of FEGC's construction until the pipes were dug out. As a result of the suspension, additional costs were incurred. FEGC regarded STSP's provision of inaccurate blueprints as a violation of the construction contract and thus filed for mediation with the Public Construction Commission (PCC) under the ROC Executive Yuan and demanded that STSP compensate FEGC by paying an additional NT$23,360 thousand. The compensation demanded by FEGC was cut down to NT$13,797 thousand, but the mediation still failed because STSP and FEGC failed to reach a consensus. FEGC then filed a suit with the Tainan District Court and the suit was decided to undertake by the court.

Additionally, during the construction period, material costs rose to NT$300,000 thousand because of adverse economic factors and the rising prices of stainless steel and cable material. Although the contract amount had been adjusted for price inflation, FEGC still incurred a great loss in 2008 and got no indemnification. Thus, in 2008, FEGC again filed for mediation with the PCC and claimed that STSP should pay NT$125,100 thousand in damages. However, the mediation still failed because STSP and FEGC could not reach any compromise. FEGC will file a suit for indemnification to the Tainan District Court after receiving the certification of mediation failure. In January 2010, Taiwan

F-533

Professional Civil Engineers Association was authorized by Tainan District Court to evaluate the rationality of the rising material costs but the evaluation report was not yet finished by August 6, 2010. The construction contract further stated that the construction would be started with manual excavation. However, on the request by people living in the vicinity of the construction, STSP instructed FEGC to obtain a third-party notarization unit's evaluation of tunnel construction safety before starting the construction. The evaluation report showed that manual excavation would result in land collapse. In consideration of public safety, FEGC requested STSP to do mechanical excavation instead. But STSP refused the request because of its insistence that the contractor should assume all the responsibility and related expenses for any contract change. Nevertheless, FEGC started the construction with mechanical excavation and incurred an additional operating expense of NT$14,315 thousand. Thus, FEGC applied for mediation with the PCC, but the mediation failed because FEGC and STSP could not reach a compromise. FEGC will file a suit for indemnification with the Tainan District Court after receiving the certification of mediation failure.

Furthermore, because of several problems involved in the pipe jacking required for this construction, FEGC suggested the change of the construction completion date to April 6, 2009. However, STSP disagreed with this extension and also refused to pay the extra costs of NT$3,080 thousand for FEGC's removal of the scrap piles and imposed a fine of NT$39,406 thousand for the construction expiration. Thus, FEGC applied for mediation with the PCC, but the mediation failed because FEGC and STSP failed to reach a compromise, FEGC will file a suit for indemnification with the Tainan District Court after receiving the certification of mediation failure and also asked STSP return all of the extra costs and the fine for the construction expiration amounting to NT$42,486 thousand.

An additional operating expense of NT$30,997 thousand was incurred to FEGC due to several new items were added to the construction. However, STSP underpaid the contract amount by NT$4,121 thousand without a reasonable explanation and rejected FEGC's request for the full payment. Therefore, FEGC filed a suit with the Tainan District Court for this dispute.

The original construction period was 840 days; however, the period was extended to have additional 601 days due to several imputable incidents (560 days out of 601 days had been approved by STSP and the rest of 41 days was still controversial). However, the extension period which had reached 80% of the original construction period incurred the related operating expenses amounting to NT$40,257 thousand (US$1,291 thousand). As extension of the construction for 601 days was not expected by FEGC at the time of signing the contract; therefore, FEGC filed a suit with the Tainan District Court to request STSP to pay for the additional expenses.

Overall, FEGC accrued a construction loss of NT$119,949 thousand (US$3,846 thousand) in 2008.

I. An FENC subsidiary, FEGC, Pan Asia Corporation ("Pan Asia") and Iwata Chizaki Construction Corporation, Taipei Branch ("Iwata") entered into a contract to build "Area CR3 of Kaohsiung Rapid Transit-Red line" (KRT). FEGC claimed that, although the entire construction had been completed and the red line has been operating for two years, it had not received the payment balance of NT$284,187 thousand. Thus, FEGC, Pan Asia and Iwata filed a suit for indemnification with the Kaohsiung District Court.

FEGC also claimed that, under paragraph No. 20.2 of the contract, KRTC should have given a construction payment of NT$312,844 thousand and paid extra costs such as the management fees of NT$164,857 thousand resulting from several problems that delayed the completion date for 277 days. Since KRTC did not make the foregoing payments, FEGC, Pan Asia and Iwata filed for a mediation with the Kaohsiung District Court. The result of the mediation process will depend on the arbitration by the KRTC and Kaohsiung City Government.

Moreover, FEGC made these claims in line with KRTC's request for design modifications: (1) FEGC, Pan Asia and Iwata should have included four items in the construction of Stations R8 and R9, which were not in the original construction contract; these four additions entailed a cost increase of NT$75,205 thousand (US$2,411 thousand). (2) FEGC, Pan Asia and Iwata should have added seven items to the construction of Station R8 and Station R7, which were not in the original construction contract. These seven additions entailed an additional cost of NT$219,730 thousand. (3) FEGC, Pan Asia and Iwata should have included 53 additional items in the constructions of water and electricity facilities, which were not in the original construction contract. These additions entailed an additional cost of NT$142,082 thousand. KRTC, however, refused to modify the original construction contract and also refused to pay all of the above additional costs; thus, FEGC, Pan Asia and Iwata filed a suit for indemnification with the Kaohsiung District Court and the suit was in process.

F-534

m. For the construction Taiwan Power Company ("TPC") subcontracted to FEGC, FEGC had to pay a certain fine of NT$23,000 thousand for a bid deposit call. This fine was based on the Government Procurement Act and TPC's construction contract. However, FEGC filed an appeal and PCC refused to pay the bid deposit after knowing TPC's disagreement. On October 24, 2008, PCC rejected the appeal filed by FEGC and instructed the Administrative Enforcement Agency to enforce the related penalty. This case was still in the procedure in the Administrative Enforcement Agency.

n. For the issues related to the contract that FEGC undertook the construction of the Taipei City Market Administrative Office, an action was brought before the Taipei District Court to claim that Taipei City Market Administrative Office should pay the delayed payment of NT$150,177 thousand and the interest from September 14, 2007 to January 18, 2009 amounted to NT$10,032 thousand. In 2009, the Taipei District Courts rendered its judgment to reject the all suits filed by FEGC. FEGC filed an appeal with the Taiwan High Court. The Taiwan High Court rendered the judgment in favor of FEGC. However, Taipei City Market Administrative Office was not satisfied with the outcome and filed an appeal with SAC.

o. Far Eastern Electronic Toll Collection Co., Ltd. was entrusted by the Taiwan Area National Freeway Bureau to collect electronic tolls on freeways and to sign a third-party benefit trust contract with Far Eastern International Bank to manage the tolls collected. The trust property for this agreement amounted to NT$984,374 thousand (US$31,561 thousand) as of September 30, 2010.

31. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 4, 2010, the Company subscribed 113,005 thousand shares of FEPI's newly issued shares at US$0.27 per share for NT$937,326 thousand (US$30,052 thousand), and its equity in FEPI increased from 63.02% to 67.15%.

On October 25, 2010, the Company acquired 48.96 thousand common shares of FEDP (Holding) Ltd. from Far Eastern Polytex (Holding) Ltd. at US$93.91 per share for NT$142,011 thousand (US$4,553 thousand), and their equity in FEDP (Holding) Ltd. increased from 0% to 10.10%.

b. The methods and assumptions used in estimating fair values are as follows:

1) The carrying values of short-term instruments reported in the balance sheet approximate the fair values of these assets because of the short maturities of these instruments, including cash, notes and accounts receivable, net, receivables from related parties, net, other receivables, restricted assets (including the current portion), short-term bank loans, short-term bills payable, notes and accounts payable, payable to related parties, accrued expense and payable to supplies of machinery and equipment.

If quoted market prices are available, these are used as fair values of derivatives. Otherwise, the fair value is evaluated by the Group using the same estimates and assumptions used by other market participants (e.g., banks or derivative sellers) to value the derivatives. These estimates and assumptions are available to the Group.

The Group uses the exchange rate quotations of the Reuters (or the Associated Press) to calculate the fair value of each interest rate swap and forward contract based on the net cash flows and the exchange rates, respectively.

3) The fair values of financial assets carried at cost — noncurrent and bonds carried at amortized cost, which have no quoted prices in an active market and entail an unreasonably high cost to obtain verifiable fair values. Therefore, fair values cannot be reasonably measured.

4) If quoted market prices are available, these are used as fair values of held-to-maturity financial assets - noncurrent; otherwise, fair values will be measured by carrying values.

5) Fair values of bonds payable, lease payable and long-term loans (all including current portion) are measured at the present values of expected cash flows, which are discounted at the interest rates for bank loans with similar maturities. Public traded bonds are measured at traded prices.

6) Refundable deposits and guarantee deposits (including the current portion) receivable are recorded at their carrying values because the fair value approximates the carrying value.

c. The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, which were determined at their quoted prices in an active market or at estimated prices, were as follows:

d. As of September 30, 2009 and 2010, the financial assets exposed to fair value interest rate risk amounted to NT$8,446,607 thousand and NT$8,382,313 thousand (US$268,750 thousand), respectively, and the financial liabilities exposed to fair value interest rate risk amounted to NT$65,789,902 thousand and NT$81,652,471 thousand (US$2,617,905 thousand), respectively. As of September 30, 2009 and 2010, the financial assets exposed to cash flow interest rate risk amounted to NT$5,823,668 thousand and NT$15,916,667 thousand (US$510,313 thousand), respectively and the financial liabilities exposed to cash flow interest rate risk amounted to NT$20,128,914 thousand and NT$11,000,368 thousand (US$352,689 thousand), respectively.

e. Financial risks

Forward exchange contracts and currency option contracts

The Group entered into forward exchange contracts and currency option contracts to hedge the effect of adverse exchange rate fluctuations on foreign-denominated assets or net liabilities (Note 6).

The Company entered into interest rate swap contracts to hedge against adverse fluctuations of interest rates of secured unconvertible corporate bonds (the 72nd tranche), and these bonds were all fully repaid before the end of 2009. YDI entered into interest rate swap contracts to hedge against adverse interest rate fluctuations of secured unconvertible bonds - 9th tranche. These bonds had all been redeemed at their full amount by the end of 2009. The gain or loss arising from interest rate fluctuation is expected to be offset gain or loss arising from hedged items.

Cross-currency swap contracts

An FENC subsidiary, KG Telecom (no longer existed after the merger with Far EasTone on January 1, 2010), entered into cross-currency swap contracts to hedge against the adverse effects of exchange rate fluctuations on foreign-denominated assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010. The gains or losses on the changes in fair values on these contracts are expected to offset the results of the exchange rate fluctuations of the hedged items. Thus, market risk is expected to be immaterial.

Cotton futures contracts

The Group entered into cotton futures contracts to hedge fluctuations of cotton prices (Note 6).

Others

Fair values of mutual funds and domestic quoted stocks held by the Group are determined at their quoted prices in an active market; thus, market price fluctuations would cause changes in the fair values of these investments. However, market risk is expected to be immaterial because the performance of these investments was periodically evaluated by the Group.

Credit risk represents the potential loss that would be incurred by the Group if the counter-parties breached contracts. Financial instruments with positive fair values at the balance sheet date are evaluated for credit risk. The counter-parties to the foregoing financial instruments are reputable financial institutions and business organizations. Management does not expect the Group's exposure to default by those parties to be material.

The Group has sufficient operating capital to meet cash flow requirements. Thus, the Group does not have liquidity risk. However, financial assets carried at cost and equity-method investments with no quoted prices have no active market; thus, material liquidity risk on these assets and investments is anticipated. Some investments in equity instruments have no active markets; therefore, the liquidity risk is expected to be high.

On February 26, 2009, an FENC subsidiary, Yuan Tong bought convertible bonds issued by Bockhold N.V. The purchase amount was recognized as bond investments with no active market; the value of the conversion right was recognized as financial assets carried at cost because it has no quoted price in active market. Thus, material liquidity risk on this investment is expected.

The Group invested in domestic quoted stocks, bonds and mutual funds that have quoted prices in active markets and can be sold immediately at prices close to their fair values. However, Far

F-538

EasTone also invested in some private fund with no quoted prices in an active market; thus, this investment was expected to have material liquidity risks. ARCOA also invested in financial bonds and equity instruments with no quoted prices in active market; thus, these investments could expose ARCOA to material liquidity risks.

The FENC's subsidiaries, YDI and Kai-Yuan, participated in private placement of the shares in FEIB. Under the Securities and Exchange Law, Article 43-8 specifies that the privately placed securities are subjected to the restrictions of holding period and trading volume. As a result, liquidity risk on these securities is anticipated.

Two FENC subsidiaries, Far EasTone and KG Telecom (merged with Far EasTone on January 1, 2010), engaged in cross-currency swap contracts for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010 (KG Telecom: 2009; Far EasTone: 2010). These contracts will result in simultaneous cash inflows and outflows upon maturity; thus, the cash demand is not expected to be significant.

4) Cash-flow risk from interest rate fluctuations

An FENC subsidiary, Far EasTone and its subsidiary had short-term and long-term debts with floating interest rates change. As a result, the effective interest rates on these loans will change as the market interest rates change.

f. Cash flow hedge

The Company's 72nd tranche of secured nonconvertible bonds and YDI's 9th tranche of secured nonconvertible bond may cause material cash flow risks because these instruments have floating interest rates; thus, these companies used interest rate swaps to hedge against the risks.

The Company's 72nd tranche of secured nonconvertible bonds and YDI's 9th tranche of secured nonconvertible bond had been redeemed as of September 30, 2009.

FENC subsidiaries, Far EasTone, KG Telecom (merged with Far EasTone on January 1, 2010) and NCIC engaged in cross-currency swaps to hedge against risks on cash flow fluctuations on its assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010 (KG Telecom: 2009; Far EasTone: 2010; NCIC: 2010).
