INTRO

Taken by IMM PE, announced visions to reach

the top 3 among global cable companies

TAIHAN has laid the foundation for a rebound by receiving IMM PE as their major shareholder. TAIHAN has terminated joint management with the creditor bank autonomous council and is now off to a fresh start. With stronger financials, TAIHAN expects to pioneer a new 100-year frontier to become a global cable company. Furthermore, TAIHAN announced vision and mid/long-term strategies to reach the top 3 among global cable companies. It plans to strengthen global competitiveness to its main business, extra high voltage cables, and to expand investments in new growth engines such as subsea cables, HVDC cables, and HTLS(High Temperature Low Sag) conductor. TAIHAN will install subsea cables, distribution cable system equipment in Dangjin factory and seek orders, and further subsea cables, extra high voltage cable research to establish a new growth engine framework. The company expects to add momentum to European markets, as it plans to install production equipment for smooth al sheath (smooth al sheath: thin metal layer inserted inside a cable to strengthen cable’s electric power) cables, a popular type of cable in Europe.

Signing MOU With National Grid Of Saudi Arabia

TAIHAN signed a MOU with National Grid of Saudi Arabia, the Middle East’s largest electricity market, to solidify its power sector partnership. With the MOU, TAIHAN will expand informational exchanges and technical support on diverse cable and cable systems including power cables, and personnel exchanges through managing education programs. Furthermore, it will standardize power cable designs and equipment to strengthen its competitiveness in the Saudi Arabian market. Thus, TAIHAN has secured order competitiveness by building solid partnerships that simply go beyond merely being a supplier and grow together in the Saudi Arabian market. The company has secured the no.1 market share in Saudi Arabia for it extra high voltage cables.

All-out remodeling for better profitability

TAIHAN’s current top priority is profitability. The company has strategically reduced its materials business that possesses low profitability, and has reinforced its order portfolio with high-margin products such as extra high voltage cables and HTLS(High Temperature Low Sag) conductor. In addition, TAIHAN has continuously revamped its businesses to enhance the company’s profitability, by using TOP (Total Operational Performance) activities that reduce costs and improve productivity. Separately, TAIHAN is seeking ways to improve profitability by utilizing overseas manufacture points in Vietnam and South Africa. By adding equipment and transferring technology, TAIHAN supply Southeast Asian and African orders from these nearby factories, which will enhance profitability by reducing logistics and labor costs.

Stronger financial conditions

TAIHAN has used various strategies to eliminate financial risks. New funds have been injected as IMM PE took its stake, and reduced most of its contingent liabilities by divesting its large real-estate related nonoperating assets. In 2015 alone, TAIHAN relieved KRW 250 billion of its contingent liabilities by divesting Nambu Terminal land and Shinhan Investment Bank building. TAIHAN will devote its fullest endeavors to eliminate remaining contingent liabilities to realize complete financial stability. The fact that the company reflected value depreciation for its investment assets in the 2015 accounting audit will positively influence TAIHAN’s long-term financial improvement.

Full efforts to influence overseas orders

Overseas orders started growing as TAIHAN’s financial conditionsstabilized. TAIHAN expanded its order competency by not only procuring USD 27 million and USD 7 million orders from the US and Australia, two of the developed power markets, but also proceeding with high-end 500kV and 380kV extra high voltage cable projects. Furthermore to this, byprogressing OETC(Oman Electricity Transmission Company)’s 400kV pre-qualification registration, TAIHAN is aggressively striving to enter Oman’s 400kV underground cable project. The company, through its new market expanding endeavors, is attempting to enter North African regions such as Egypt and Algery, with 5~15% growth in power demand.

Performance Highlights

Efforts to enhance product quality

TAIHAN has strived to improve its failure rate and product quality. The company sees quality as a promise and trust given to customers. TAIHAN set up a board in the factory that monitors quality-related issues for all processes and helps to diagnose problems in real time. Additionally, the company plans to utilize a ‘suggestion system’ to entice employees to actively brainstorm new ideas. In particular, its quality assurance organization has been promoted to ‘division’ from ‘team’, to give more attention to minimizing quality-related problems.

CEOMESSAGE

Dear customers, shareholders, and all other stakeholders of TAIHAN, Thank you for your continued attention and support.

Last year was a groundbreaking year for TAIHAN. By accepting IMM, one of the prestigious private equity funds in Korea, led to new majority ownership, allowing us to completely eliminate financial risk that continued for many years. With this, we have announced a vision to reach ‘One of the top 3 among global cable companies.’ Going one step further, we have also aggressively invested in equipment and research.

We not only developed new products such as subsea cables and HVDC cables, but also established specific production facility plans in order to lay the foundation to continue business going forward. As such, it was a year to establish a solid basis for a renewed beginning. TAIHAN’s situation has drastically improved, but unstable economic conditions lingered due to uncertain global economic factors and dismal domestic markets. Specifically, downstream industries such as construction were still sluggish, while Middle Eastern investment sharply declined due to low oil prices. However, TAIHAN was able to increase operating income 40% year on year, with our company-wide effort to enhance productivity and reduce costs.

TAIHAN will make our best efforts to increase our company value by aggressively investing in new growth engines and by focusing on high value-add products. We will make this year as the first year towards ranking among the top 3 cable companies in the world.

For the last 61 years, we have overcome our limits in the most unstable moments and used them as opportunities to make new rebounds. As a result, we established ourselves as a global leader in energy, telecommunications, and industrial materials. TAIHAN looks forward to serving our customers as a competitive global company. All of our teams will march forward with this ideology engraved into our hearts.

Through continuous product development and capital investments, profitability maximization, and human resource development, we will write of becoming a new ‘centennial company’ on top of our 60-year history.

A transparent, trustworthy company for its customers and shareholders! A rewarding company that spreads a positive tone!A company that everyone wants to work for! We ask for you look forward to TAIHAN’s glorious future.

Thank you.

The Middle East is a major demand source, which takes up 60% of the company’s exports. TAIHAN secured no.1 in 2015 market share, focusing on Saudi’s 380kV extra high voltage cable project. Despite difficulties from multiple delays due to aggravated financial conditions from low oil prices, the company secured competitiveness by stronger customer relationships. Specifically, TAIHAN prepared for risks by expanding business areas, acquiring ARAMCO PQ, SEC EPC PQ, and signing MOUs. Based on these efforts, we expect to solidify our market position in 2016.

After the company procured a 220kV 2500SQ turn-key construction order in 2013, we have continuously endeavored to establish a market presence in Qatar, a market dominated by Japanese and European high-end competitors. In September 2015, we have procured a 400kV 2500SQ turn-Key construction and submitted a bid to Qatar Electricity Company. Further to this, in UAE, we have procured multiple new projects in Dubai; we also are progressing to enter the 400kV extra high voltage cable market in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, based on our excellent performance in 132kV-level cables.

As Iran opened up its markets, we are laying the foundation to receive orders in the country through aggressive sales, such as regular technical presentations according to Iran government’s industrial development plans. Also, we are looking for local investments to strengthen our price competitiveness.

TAIHAN not only plans to strengthen Middle Eastern market domination, but is also striving to enter North African markets such as Egypt and Algeria. Entry barriers from duties, logistics costs, and local preferences exist, but we plan to enter the market with high-tech products such as 400kV and 500kV extra high voltage cables.

The Middle East/Africa

REVIEW OF OPERATION Power Cable

In 2015, the world economy continued to be sluggish. China’s economic growth recorded a 25-year low of 6.9%, and low oil prices resulted in financial contraction and lower commodities investment in Middle Eastern countries. World economic growth slowed to 3.1%, emerging markets to 4.0%, showing the lowest levels since the financial crisis. Korea’s economic growth slowed to 2.6%, due to default of the Greek economy, the weak Japanese Yen, and MERS.TAIHAN’s revenue slightly decreased due to lower commodities prices, order cancellations and delays from Middle East. However, there is a steady revenue growth in the Americas, and Europe has served as a substitute to the Middle East. In addition, IMM PE investment completely eliminated financial risks. With stable financials, business conditions improved greatly. Combined cost-reduction activities (TOP) and VALUE UP project for enhanced operation capabilities help establish new business models and secure competitiveness.

TAIHAN seeks to aggressively enter the European market, representing 20% of worldwide cable demand. We have laid the foundation by dispatching a sales representative in the UK, and by building a new sales network. We have achieved incremental sales by exporting OF cables to UK Power Networks. We are seeking to expand our operations to the UK, southern Europe, and Scandinavia.

We expect to see a gradual increase in demand until 2018 in North America, due to economic recovery, increased power demand, extra high&high voltage cable replacements, and an increase in new and renewable energy. TAIHAN, through stronger business relationships with its clients, expanded original contracts. In particular, as we have a track record of executing the SCE Chino-Hills Tehachapi Renewable Transmission Project, North America’s first 500kV project, we expect additional orders from successful sales of high-margin products such as HTLS(High Temperature Low Sag) conductor.

Central/South America’s priority was to establish a sales network. TAIHAN has uncovered a local sales agent in Peru, Argentina, and Chile, to build up market entry.

The Oceanic regions has received favorable evaluations through grid projects such as TransGrid, PowerCor, ElectraNet, SAPN, on top of a 132kV project from Ausgrid, Australia’s biggest power company. From 2013, 5-year long-term supply PJT with Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy, is in progress. The region is undertaking business expansions with EPC and national electricity board.

TAIHAN has consistently endeavored to strengthen operations in India with all of its high potential. Since the 2011s, 220kV and 400kV extra high voltage underground cable project opened up the Indian market, where we have been expanding operations to Indian governmental power companies, such as APTRANSCO, NHPC, and HPPCL.

Governmental market

In 2015, revenues from governmental power and insulated cables increased over 2014. Continuous power equipment investment from low power supply, and overhead conductor and underground installation business became reasons for governmental revenue increase.

The company has recorded KRW 6 billion worth of distinguished product revenues, which offers developmental direction to improve the medium&low voltage cables profit structures. In particular, the significance lies in that it offered points of improvement in lower power equipment investments and power industry recession due to the economic recession. The company plans to increase the revenue of distinguished products through continuous investment and R&D.

Civilian market

Domestic civilian market revenue for power cables decreased compared to 2014. Although new domestic apartment demand has increased, lower plant expansion demand and higher competition resulted in underperformance. However, demand for factory automation cables with better profitability has increased, and the company is reviewing capacity increase for these products.

In 2016, although we expect a reduction in market size from lower demand from conglomerates, we plan to respond to market conditions by adjusting product portfolios focusing on factory automation cables.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONREVIEW OF OPERATION

Revenue and operating profit from the TAIHAN'S E&C division has increased year on year. The higher performance was due to government/private demand from cable replacements, and pioneering new markets such as Indonesia, Venezuela, Kazakhstan, and Algeria.

In recent years, the cable industry has been sluggish due to heated price competition and delayed orders in Middle Eastern countries due to low oil prices. However, TAIHAN’s E&C division has stable revenue from developed countries including Australia and Singapore, and based on our precise construction capabilities, has expanded its operations to the US, Russia, Middle East, India, Southeast Asia, and South/Central American regions, which have active power equipment replacement projects and new investments. Recently, we have procured mega extra high voltage cable projects in Saudi Arabia and the US. We particularly anticipate additional orders from the US, as market entry there has progressed.

Extra high voltage cables exhibited the highest operating margins among the cable products, as the product is technically complex entering. New markets with fre-quent power equipment replacements such as the US, Canada, and Europe, and the MENA region with new expected cable orders, we believe will see a steady revenue and operating profit in 2016.

Moreover, amid intense competition in the global market, the company is focusing on 300kV~500kV level or higher products with high added value. In particular, we have been recognized for our advanced technology with successful extra high voltage turn-key projects in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Qatar, and Kuwait. Considering the fact that this area was dominated by European and Japanese cable companies, this performance carries significant meaning.

In 2016, we plan to continue not only extra high voltage cable construction, but also technical upgrades on subsea cables and overhead cables, based on OF Cable replacement work in Korea, European and North American cable replacements, power infrastructure and urban development projects in the Middle East, and infrastructure investments in developing countries, in order to increase revenues and operating profit.

Engineering & Construction

TAIHAN is engaged in the communication cable production/distribution business, as well as telecommunication construction business.

In particular, the company holds Korea’s largest production facilities of communication cables, and holds the top vendor market share in data cables(UTP, FTP, STP), RF cables, F/S cables, and railway signaling cables.

The company recorded KRW 53.8 billion in revenue in 2015, 26.3% lower than 2014’s KRW 73 billion, due to the global economic recession, an increase in uncertainty, dismal domestic markets, and profitability management. However, 2015 operating profits increased approximately KRW 1.7 billion, a KRW 800 million increase from 2014’s KRW 900 million.

The company has secured a stable revenue stream based on more than 100 of domestic and overseas clients including domestic telecommunications companies, mid/mega distribution companies, global top-tier telecommunications companies, and SCS(structured cabling system) companies. Recently, the company has strengthened order competitiveness, diversified sales networks, secured new growth engines, and overcame original business limitations, through integrated wiring materials market entry, turn-key orders through cooperation with telecommunications and construction businesses.

TAIHAN plans to accelerate is communications cable business and secure price competitiveness through R&D and cost reduction, focusing on high-margin products based on enhanced operations.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONREVIEW OF OPERATION

TAIHAN achieved an 8% increase in base metal sales in 2015 campared to 2014, tataling in 85,000MT. This is a significant performance that has been proven in dismal domestic markets and Southeast Asian markets, one of the major export markets, despite lower copper prices, reduced investment in governmental businesses from the global recession affecting Europe, and the tanking manufacturing index.

Domestic sales showed a slight increase compared to last year. In overseas markets, the ratio of Southeast Asian and Indian market orders increased comparably. In 2015, the domestic and overseas sales ratio in materials business was 65% and 35% respectively. Overseas demand included the Philippines, Australia, India, Indonesia, and Bangladesh.

Magnet wire showed a decrease in sales value and copper amount. This is mainly due to reduced production in heavy electric equipment and refrigerant compressor. The automobile

TAIHAN has moved its Ansan technology lab to Dangjin in August 2015. This decision was based on synergies of R&D and production, to improve communications with research and production departments. In effect, prototype production for R&D became more flexible, and immediate analysis/diagnosis of production failures became possible.

Last year, a diverse portfolio of R&D projects for cable product development and enhanced technical capacity contributed to increased revenue and cost reduction. In addition, through mid/long-term national projects, TAIHAN built upon its technological trust, and upgraded its development capacities with diverse programs for enhanced R&D manpower.

Specifically, TAIHAN is now capable of producing long-distance versions of extra high voltage cables. The company also developed aluminum, eco-friendly smooth aluminum sheath cables, and acquired KERI certification so as to lay the foundation for tapping European into markets.

Moreover, with KEPCO’s ‘next-generation HTLS(High Temperature Low Sag) conductor development’, TAIHAN installed production equipment for high-strength steel ACSS and ACCC type of HTLS conductors. We now have a strong portfolio that can meet the diverse market demands.

In 2012, TAIHAN became the first domestic cable company to develop a polymer composite bushing with enhanced shockproof, stability, and lightness. TAIHAN has now completed its 145~500kV high voltage products that satisfies diverse conditions required from the global market, and has been focusing on increasing our products’ stability and reliability. In addition, our company succeeded in developing volt-type cable junction boxes with increased worker convenience.

TAIHAN plans to continue its research toward diverse HVDC cable and accessories, and product development, utilizing advanced materials technologies.

Base Metal R&D

market slightly grew with model changes and new model releases. In particular, we expect growth in middle line usage in 2016 as well as 2015.

The base metal business has been highly affected by world economic trends. The manufacturing industry entered its recovery phase in China, emerging markets such as India and Vietnam, and the manufacturing sector in Europe, which we expect to exert a positive influence in base metal business.

The company plans to seek export clients by securing stable revenue streams through long-term contracts with secure customers and targeting niche markets in FTA-signed countries. In particular, we plan to enhance our competitiveness and customer satisfaction by producing and exporting copper rod in different sizes, as overseas demand of copper rod is consistently growing.

SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT

We currently manage 5 initial water treatment facilities and 2 water retention areas. The southwest retention area is established underground to utilize the surface space as greenery.

The southeast area is formed as an ecological wetland. Waste water is physically/chemically treated and recycled. Sewage is initially treated in a sewage disposal plant, released to ecological wetlands (detention pond) to reduce pollutants for final release.

In 2015, 80% of 2,789 tons of waste was recycled or reused as resources. Other waste is burnt or filled and safely treated.

We have contributed to the realization of a resource circulation society by reducing wastes and increasing the amount of recycled materials.
