CHAIRMAN S STATEMENT WITH FOUR PROCESSING FACTORIES OF HRC, CRC, AND GALVANIZED STEEL PRODUCTS HAVING CAPACITY OF MORE THAN 300,000 TONS PER YEAR, COUPLED WITH THE STRONGEST CONSTRUCTION STEEL SALES TEAM NATIONWIDE, SMC HAS REACHED THE NEW CONSUMPTION RECORD OF OVER 860,000 TONS OF VARIOUS STEEL PRODUCTS BOTH IN DOMESTIC AND EXPORT MARKETS. Dear Honorable Shareholders, One more year has gone, SMC continues to mature as well as has more challenges and threats. No doubt this year operation is not completely successful but it is also not a failure. The difficulty continues wave after wave, despite that the company hold strong and firm there are stumbling and hardships. But the most courage of all is the confrontation and the will to find the ways for the whole group development. With four processing factories of HRC, CRC, and galvanized steel products having capacity of more than 300,000 tons per year, coupled with the strongest construction steel sales team nationwide, SMC has reached the new consumption record of over 860,000 tons of various steel products both in domestic and export markets. As so, in 2014 the system has consumed more than 150,000 tons compared to 2013, exceeding the 800,000 tons target set up to 2015. It also required strengthened in all aspects of operations including human resources, warehouse equipment and machinery, capital and financial resources, as well as corporate governance and administration. SMC is also proud to win significant contracts in 2014 to supply steels for famous global brands project that have invested in Vietnam such as, Formosa Ha Tinh, Samsung - VN and the first metro line in the Ho Chi Minh city, Metro line 1. We can say this is the right choice of foreign clients as well as the confirmation of SMC capability to meet the demanding service of market and foreign partners. However, 2014 also witnessed SMC s poor business performance, failing to complete the profit target, regardless of strong growths in sales volume and revenue. It is also a major obstacle for the capital accumulation for subsequent years development of the system, leading to strong correction and less attractive of SMC shares on the stock market. Entering 2015, as the world oil prices has plunged from Q4/2014 leading to an impairments of the mining industry including iron ore, steel prices continuously following downward trend is major challenge for the iron and steel enterprises with large inventories. The whole SMC system is facing and fend off the problem with the efficiency. This is also a challenge that SMC has encountered many times and got experiences. With a long history and the real strength of the brand and position in the marketplace, SMC believes it will surpass and enhance the system to develop and be stronger. Sincerely, Chairman, NGUYEN NGOC ANH 16 SMC INVESTMENT TRADING JSC 17

BOARD OF DIRECTORS REPORT (continued) REPORT OF THE 2014 AGM IMPLEMENTATION THE BOARD MEETS ON QUARTERLY BASIS WITH THE SUPERVISORY BOARD, BOM, AND OTHER COMPANY S KEY OFFICERS TO ASSESS THE IMPLEMENTATION OF BOD S DIRECTIONS AND BUSINESS PERFORMANCE; TO DISCUSS AND AGREE ON POLICIES, MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS, AND BUSINESS PLANS FOR NEXT QUARTER. GENERAL STATEMENT In October 2014, the Board of Director has appointed Mr. Truong Tuan Dung Hung officially served as Chief Financial Officer of the company since 9th October 2014 in replacement for Mr. Nguyen Binh Trong. The company s rules, regulations, and activities are all in compliance with the regulations on corporate governance law. However, the Board of Director has not allocated appropriate time to participate the required training courses on corporate governance in 2014. On quarterly basis, the Board of Director has organized meetings with Board of Supervisor, Board of Management, and key officers of the company for assessments on the implementation of BoD s guidelines, the financial performance and results, discussion and agreement on managing policies and solutions, and planning for next quarter business activities. In addition, the BoD also hold extraordinary meetings to timely consider and approve significant policies and strategies related to corporate governance activities of the BoM. In 2014, the BoD has arranged 09 meetings in total and issued 06 resolutions on important issues. EVALUATION ON THE BOM CORPORATE GOVERNANCE, BUSINESS MANAGEMENT, AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE 2014 AGM RESOLUTIONS In 2014, the BoM has attempted to fulfill the consumption volume target, creating a favourable momentum for the company s operation activities, constantly and flexibly managing and developing new high margin products for more operational efficiency of the whole system, maintaining and improving SMC s brand-name and position on the market, sustaining and promoting strengths and advantages of the entire system, stabilizing organizational structure, courageously increasing training programmes for the staff inheritance group, ensuring financial resources for the operation of the whole system at low cost and effective cash flow management. However, this is the third consecutive year under the managing execution of the BoM that SMC failed to achieve the target net profit, mostly caused by both local and global difficulties, from the general economic situation to the steel industry problems, together with the company s subjective factors such as high-cost inventories stocked up and unexpected deeply decreasing steel price that SMC could not complete the target plan.

The national economy and steel industry in 2014 recorded positive movements. The economic growth rate has been slightly recovered BoD has choosen DFK Vietnam Auditing Co. to audit the company s 2014 financial statements with higher than previous year GDP at 5.98%. The average CPI in 2014 only went up 4.09% from 2013, being the lowest inflation rate within the past 10 years. Liquidity of the commercial banking system considerably improved, foreign exchange rate stabilized, foreign reserves increased, and the interest rate adjusted down by 1-2% from last year. The real estate market also proved some signs of improvement thanks to more efficient subsidy regulations by the government and more direct foreign investment inflows. As a result, consumption of construction materials sector has been more active than before. Total cement consumption in 2014 increased 8.7%, in which export of cement and clinker went up 13% yoy. Total steel consumption in 2014 almost reached 13.9 million tons, increasing by 16.8% from last year, including nearly 5.4 million tons consumed by construction steel products, up 14.2% yoy, 1.2 million tons consumed by steel pipe segment, strongly up 51.9% yoy, and more than 3.5 million tons consumed by galvanized steel segment, up 34.6% yoy. 22 SMC INVESTMENT TRADING JSC 23

BOARD OF DIRECTORS REPORT (continued) Accompanying with the whole industry advance together with utilizing itself competitive advantages such as well-known brand name, various and diversified product portfolio, strong operation and distribution capability, modern Coil Center systems and warehouses, coupled with dedicated and experienced staffs and leaders, SMC has upholded the processing and distributing activities to push up the companys total steel and cement consumption in 2014 by 20.9% yoy and 36.6% yoy respectively. This is such an encouraging volume growth rate not only for its higher than the industry average but also as the efforts of the company under unfavourable and unexpected business surroundings. The business operation activites of most companies generally has been less difficult but not yet overcoming all problems due to internal and external economic and political instability. In particular, the tightening regulation on overload transportation pushed up rates and transport costs doubled while companies could not adjust selling price and share costs immediately to customers. Moreover, tension and instability caused by domestic violences in large industrial parks also seriously affected business operations of many foreign firms, hence directly negatively impacting the operational activities of SMC s related business. The year 2014 also witnessed the consecutive down trend in steel material prices worldwide, including the strongest falls in iron ore and scrap steel, followed by price adjustments in billet, HRC, and CRC. High-cost inventories due to continuously dropping input costs coupled with adjusted low selling price caused low operational efficiency. Meanwhile, the sudden drop and deep decline in oil and gas prices in the last months of the year pushed steel prices down further; the currency devaluations of such large steel producers and exporters as Russia and India created fiercer price competition, being a huge challenge to not only SMC but also other domestic steel players. STRATEGIC ORIENTATION FOR NEXT YEAR PLAN S IMPLEMENTATION Continue following the longterm development strategy, which is trading, processing and distributing different types of steel products, targeting total consumption volume of 1 million tons of steel per year; however, quality and efficiency will be more focused than quantity for the year 2015, based on stable platform for solid and long-term growth. Continue increasing the proportion of flat steel products in total consumption structure, ensuring the efficiency and high ultilization rate of processing lines, expanding and enhancing value added of processed steel products. Secure financial activities to well explore bank loans capital resources and tightly controlling working capitals needed for business operation activities at the possible lowest costs, descending toward finishing bad debts. Increase forecasting activities, updating and anticipating market trend domestically and globally. Continue improving and increasing the quality of employees to not only being able to overcome difficulties but also having appropriate human resources development in accordance with the growth of the company. Maintain and promote corporate culture in the spirit of general interests, for the benefit of customers and for sustainable long term development target. Establish and maintain clear competitive advantages with other companies. 24 SMC INVESTMENT TRADING JSC 25

BOARD OF DIRECTORS REPORT (continued) Besides the overall difficulties and objective factors, regulation risk, price volatility risk, and other unforeseen risks, SMC has also encountered many challenges caused by itself business operation nature and other subjective factors. Therefore, SMC always has the flexibility in its corporate governance and business management, establishing the risk management strategy and internal control system to ensure the effective risk management activities to minimize the impact of unfavourable factors on the company s operational performance. RISK ASSESSMENT and RISK MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES Financial risk management Operational risk management Going along with the economic recovery and the industry consumption growth, SMC is self-equipped and well invested in new processing systems to catch up with the general growth rhythm to ensure the efficient growth of the business. Steel price moved in a negative direction has directly affected the company s performance, yet the management always focuses on flexible sales policies and strategies to balance between import-export activities and inventories, establishing executive committees closely and actively research and update steel price and steel market domestically and globally in order to minimize possible related risks. Moreover, the processing activities at Coil Center plants are also tightly controlled, checked, and maintained regularly to ensure that machineries and equipments always running safely and efficiently, providing the best quality products as requested by customers. Investments in Coil Center systems with total 04 high value processing plants continuously within the past 03 years required a large capital demand for working capital and investment and operational activities, meanwhile the equity market was not favourable for new capital issuance, leading to a large mobilization from bank loans, pushing up the debt to equity ratio so high in the past few years. With a high proportion of bank loans, SMC is easily and strongly affected by credit policy and foreign exchange rate fluctuations. As a result, new plants, increasing sales volume and revenue, corresponding increasing inventories, and dropping selling prices all together pulled down operational efficiency as well as pushed up provision for bad debts. Accordingly, SMC has always maintained a high credit standing with most major banks and financial institutions to ensure loans with high credit limits and low interest rates. At the same time, the company also has flexible solutions in debt collections, reviews on each client s prestige in trading and payment to have appropriate and efficient sales policy, debt limit and debt collection plans. Human resources and Subsidiary risk management With the constantly expansion of the company over the past few years, the size of the unit personnel and members of SMC growing more and more associated with the risks of internal competition, inefficient performance of subsidiary, and the ability to hold key personnel. Actually, SMC with a solid corporate culture expressing the unity and solidarity of all members and employees toward a common goal, all departments and subsidiaries have good interactions and mutual supports to enhance productivity and operational efficiency, together for the development of the whole system. In addition, SMC has also frequently and appropriately implemented training systems, and competition and promotion policies to ensure the motivation for the efforts of all employees and affiliates. 26 SMC INVESTMENT TRADING JSC 27

SUPERVISORY BOARD S REPORT INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES SMC has completed the investment plan for the 2011-2015 periods following the strategy of enhancing added values to processing steel products, thereby increasing the competitive advantages over competitors. The Coil Center system including 02 plants for CRC processing activities and 02 plants for HRC processing activities have always steadily operated with increasing output over years. The proportion of flat steel product in the company s total volume consumption has significantly increased from 23% in 2011 to 30.1% in 2012, to 34.8% in 2013, and reached 38.7% in 2014. The operational efficiency of the coil center system has considerably contributed to the company s market share increase and more professional operating activities, creating and enhancing confidence of foreign partners, being the foundation for more corporation expansion in the coming time. FINANCING ACTIVITIES SMC has guaranteed well cash flow management and enough capital needed for processing and operating activities. Total short and long term loans significantly increased over years are necessary for the growth of the company following long term development strategy. 2014 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCES Mrs. HO THI NGOC TUYET Mr. NGUYEN KINH LUAN Mrs. TRAN THUY BICH HAN Item Unit 2013 2014 2014-2013 Actual Target Actual (%) Target (%) Volume Tons 717,342 750,000 867,378 116 121 Revenue VND bn 9,650 10,000 10,900 109 113 Net profit VND bn 26.1 50 19.8 40 76 Chief Board EVALUATION ON BOARD OF DIRECTOR S DIRECTION OF OPERATING ACTIVITIES The BoD has critically executed all contents of the 2014 AGM resolutions, timely guided the whole system to overcome difficulties and challenges, created opportunities to enhace operating efficiency, and built up the entire system becoming more and more stable.

However, rising costs in most operational activities all together pulled down net profit after tax following the downward trend in previous years. In particular, financial expenses, especially expenses for bad debt provisions, continued to increase more than VND 30 billion in 2014. The selling expenses and administration expenses over net revenue ratios also increased by 0.2% each in 2014, mainly affected by (1) strong increases in transporation costs due to the overload tightening control policy, and (2) expenses for sales team and sales channels related to higher consumption.

The operations of new Coil Center systems at the end of 2012 and 2013 together with increases in import-export activities, inventories arranged for large projects distribution, and total sales volume required SMC having an extensive working capitals serving for operational activities. Meanwhile, the company s owners equity had no significant moves as charter capital remained unchanged and retained earnings were low. This explains why the debt to equity ratio of SMC increasingly high. The large and rapid debt capital rising over recent years brought a higher risk to the company for the debt and interest expense payment ability. However, financial ratios showing the company s interest coverage payment, quick ratio and current ratio in 2014 all are still good enough to ensure the safety of the company in credit financing activities.
