Chairman

Bor-Yi Huang

The upward trend of the global economy in 2017 persisted through the beginning of 2018 and remained in sustained expansion. However, under the effects of tariffs imposed by major economies such as the US and the corresponding retaliatory measures implemented by other economies, global financial markets remained turbulent. Nevertheless, with the support of all our shareholders and clients, along with the dedicated efforts of our entire staff, the Bank managed to deliver brilliant results. In 2018, our profit before tax from continuing operations was NT$9.198 billion, representing an annual growth of 56.67%. Our non-performing loan ratio was 0.30%, and the coverage ratio of allowance for bad debts was 394.08%, both setting new best records.

In the future, the Bank will continue to carry through the internal controls using three lines of defense, strengthen the overall risk control, and promote relevant business according to the policies of the government; also, deepen fintech development with equal focuses on IT and information security control. We will continue to fulfill corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives and strengthen our momentum in charitable activities to attend to and care for the disadvantaged. With an aim of providing customers with satisfactory and comprehensive financial services, the Bank will continue to facilitate a cultural transformation for the corporate brand, endeavor to turn the Bank into a leading brand in the field of SME financing, and establish a solid foundation for the sustainable development of the Bank upon stepping into the next century.

The operation results in 2018 and the business plans for 2019 are summarized below:

IXThe fulfillment of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has always been one of the TBB's core operating principles. In addition to the pursuit of business performance, the provision of employee value-added, and an emphasis on shareholder interests, the Bank uses concrete action to fulfill its CSR by starting out from the banking industry itself and participating actively in public-benefit activities, showing care for society, enhancing customer benefits, reinforcing care for employees, and striving to become an outstanding bank with sustainable operation.

To reinforce the fulfillment of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CRS) and exhibit the importance that the TBB attaches to CSR, the TBB set up a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Initiative Committee, which was subsequently promoted to the Corporate Social Responsibility Committee, responsible for the proposal and execution of CSR policies or systems, and report to the Board of Directors regarding the results of executing the CSR of the TBB.

The committee charter of the Corporate Social Responsibility Committee was promulgated on November 14, 2018. There are currently 5 members. Except for the Chairman and the President undertaking posts of committee chairman the mandatory member, respectively, the remaining 3 members are Independent Directors. There are Corporate Governance Subcommittee, Customer Rights Subcommittee, Sustainable Environment Subcommittee, Social Benefit Subcommittee, and Employee Care Subcommittee in place, and the first Subcommittee meeting for 2019 was convened on March 29, 2019 to discuss the implementation results of 2018. The Bank will take the core financing business as the starting point in carrying out CSR within its scope of businesses.

The TBB's achievements in the field of corporate social responsibility in 2018, divided into Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) categories, are described below:

1. Environment

(1) Extension of Environmentally Friendly Enterprise Project LoansIn its advancement toward such sustainable environment goals as lowering energy consumption and reducing pollution, in addition to the implementation of corporate environmental protection in the review of loan applications, the TBB will continuously promote project loans under the “Preferential Loans for the Procurement of Renewal Energy Equipment,” “Machinery and Equipment Upgrading Loans,” “Preferential Loans for Key Innovative Industries,” and "Project Loans for Green Energy Sustainability" programs. In October 2018, the Bank amended the “Project Loans for Green Energy Sustainability,” extending the target scope to natural persons, to promote green energy industries including wind power, solar power generation, the procurement of renewable energy, and energy conservation with the aims of establishing a low-carbon economy, achieving the goal of sustainable social development, and generating a win-win for economic development and environmental protection.


(2) Implementation of Carbon Reduction and Energy Conservation Policy to Stimulate Sustainable Environmental DevelopmentA. The Bank implemented its “Energy Policy” and “Measures for Water and Electricity Conservation,” with

scheduled follow-up on the status of water and electricity conservation by different units and inclusion of the results in business performance assessments. Various energy conservation improvement programs were forcefully carried out in order to enhance the energy efficiency of equipment and save on electricity costs.

B. LED Energy Label lighting is used in office premises bank-wide, with more than 28,000 lights installed, greatly reducing the electricity used for lighting at business premises. About 3.54 million kilowatt-hours are saved annually, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 1,845 metric tons—equivalent to the planting of 168,000 trees a year, enough to develop 4.7 Da'an Forest Parks. In this way, the Bank contributes to energy conservation and carbon reduction, and the protection of the environment.

C. The Bank's headquarters carried out the renewal of a VSD chiller and installed an energy management system as well as LED lighting for public areas. Third party verification showed that these improvements boosted the energy efficiency of equipment by more than 37.2%, saving about 273,000 kilowatt-hours per year, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 167 metric tons, and saving NT$1.55 million in electricity costs annually. The electricity contract capacity of the Bank's headquarters was cut twice from 1,150 kilowatts to 750 kilowatts in recent years.

D. The main source of the Bank's energy use is electrical power, which causes indirect greenhouse gas emission. According to statistics, the electricity used in office premises bank-wide in 2018 was 20,406,432 kilowatt-hours, resulting in approximately 11,305 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions. Compared with the previous year, the Bank has reduced electricity consumption by 1.64% and carbon dioxide emissions by 380 metric tons in the past two years.

E. Completion of 10 business units, including Fuxing and Banqiao, as well as adjustment of the contracted electricity demand of the Information Technology Department's Linkou equipment room, resulting in a cost saving of about NT$900,000.

F. In order to control the electricity consumption to avoid a waste of energy, the Bank conducted the installation of digital power meters and informatization of electricity consumption management at the headquarters, Chongqing South Building, Lin Kou Branch, Sung Shan Branch, Jia Sin Branch, East Tainan Branch, Hu Wei Branch, Cheng Kung Branch, and Hua Lien Branch.

5. Independent Auditors' Report for 2018 Consolidated Financial Statements

Independent Auditors' ReportTo the Board of Directors of Taiwan Business Bank, Ltd.:

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Taiwan Business Bank, Ltd. "the Bank" and its subsidiaries which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Bank and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Held Banks, and with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs"), International Accounting Standards ("IASs"), interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") or the former Standing Interpretations Committee ("SIC") endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements of Financial Industry by Certified Public Accountants and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor' s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Bank and its subsidiaries in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China ("the Code"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

1. The assessment of loans impairmentPlease refer to Note(4) (F) "Financial Instruments" for related accounting policy, Note 5 (A) for accounting assumptions and estimates, and Note 6 (F) "Discount and loans–net" and Note 6 (AO) "Financial Risk Information" for details of loans impairment, respectively.

The management of the Bank and its subsidiaries assess its loans to determine the impairment in accordance with IFRS 9. For the credit impaired cases which impairment has occurred since initial recognition, the measurement is based on expected future cash flow. The amount of expected credit loss (ECL) for non-credit impaired cases is evaluated by identifying whether the credit risk has significantly increased at the reporting date. If the credit risk of non-credit impaired cases has not significantly increased, the 12-month expected credit loss should be adopted, if the credit risk of non-credit impaired cases has significantly increased, the lifetime credit loss evaluation should be adopted. Except for the methods mentioned above, the management of the Bank and its subsidiaries should inspect whether the amount of impairment provision is in compliance with the minimum level required by the authority. Both the future cash flows of credit impaired cases and the main parameters which are used in calculated the non-credit cases, such as probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD), forward-looking factors, and the judgments of whether the credit risk has significantly increased, all involved significant judgments and estimations. The movement of related parameters will have significant impact on the assessment of loans impairment. Therefore, the assessment on the impairment of loans has been identified as a key audit matters in our audit.

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Our principal audit procedures included: understanding the methodology used by the management to assess the impairment of loans, and performing the relevant control procedures. For the credit impaired assessment, we conducted

sampling tests to evaluate the use of the original effective interest rate, the appropriateness of the recoverable amount of expected future cash flows and value of collateral. For non-credit impaired assessment, we assessed the impairment model adopted by the management and reviewed the appropriated of the calculation of the impairment parameters and verified the completeness of the loans portfolio via sampling. Meanwhile, we assessed the impaired amounts recognized by the management were in compliance with the related regulations issued by authority.

Other Matters

Taiwan Business Bank, Ltd, has prepared its parent-company-only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Held Banks, and with the IFRSs, IASs, IFRC, SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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

Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Bank and its subsidiaries' financial reporting process.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Bank and its subsidiaries' internal control.

3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Bank and its subsidiaries' ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Bank and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern.


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

6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determined those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors' report are CHUNG, TAN TAN and LEE, FENG HUI.

Financing Bank" or "Tai-Shio Mutual Financing Bank" when it was established in 1915. After several mergers and

acquisitions, it was renamed as Taiwan Business Bank, Ltd. in order to finance and provide banking assistance to

small and medium-size businesses on July 1, 1976. The Bank's major lines of business are the following:

size businesses;

IFRIC 22 "Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration" January 1, 2018

Except for the following items, the Taiwan Business Bank, Ltd. believes that the adoption of the above

IFRSs would not have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The extent and impact of

signification changes are as follows:

(i) IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments"

IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" which contains

classification and measurement of financial instruments, impairment and hedge accounting.

As a result of the adoption of IFRS 9, The Bank and its subsidiaries adopted the consequential

amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements", which requires the impairment of debt

investments at fair value through other comprehensive income and debt instruments measured at

amortized cost to be recognized in impairment of assets, the impairment of loan commitment recognized

in bad debt expenses and guarantee liability provisions. In addition, The Bank and its subsidiaries adopted

the amendments to IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures", disclosure the information in 2018, but

generally it has not been applied to the comparative information.

The Bank and its subsidiaries apply to IFRS 9, resulting the significant accounting policies changes are as

follows:

1) Classification of financial assets and financial liabilities

IFRS 9 contains three principal classification categories for financial assets: measured at amortized

cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and fair value through profit or loss

(FVTPL). The classification of financial assets under IFRS 9 is generally based on the business

model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. The

standard eliminates the existing IAS 39 categories of held to maturity, available for sale financial

assets, financial assets carried at cost and debt instrument with no active market. Under IFRS 9,

derivatives embedded in contracts where the host is a financial assets in the scope of the standard

are never bifurcated. Instead, the hybrid financial instrument as a whole is assessed for classification.

For an explanation of how the Bank and its subsidiaries classifies and measures financial assets and

accounts for related gains and losses under IFRS 9, please refer to Note 4(F).

The adoption of IFRS 9 didn't have any significant impact on the Bank and its subsidiaries' accounting

policies on financial liabilities.

2) Impairment of financial assets

IFRS 9 replaces the 'incurred loss' model in IAS 39 with a forward-looking 'expected credit loss'

(ECL) model. The new impairment model will apply to financial assets measured at amortized cost

or FVOCI, except for investments in equity instruments, lease receivables, contract assets and the

financial guarantee contracts. Under IFRS 9, the credit loss are recognized earlier than they are

under IAS 39. Please refer to Note 4 (F).

3) Transition

The adoption of IFRS 9 has been applied retrospectively, except as described below:

• Differences in the carrying amounts of financial assets resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9

are recognized in retained earnings and other equities as on 1 January 2018. Accordingly, the

information presented for 2017 does not generally reflect the requirements on IFRS 9 and therefore

is not comparable to the information presented for 2018 under IFRS 9.

• The following assessments have been made on the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist

at the date of initial application.

— The determination of the business model within which a financial asset is held.

— The designation and revocation of previous designations of certain financial assets and

financial liabilities as measured at FVTPL.

— The designation of certain investments in equity instruments not held for trading as at FVOCI.

• If the debt securities had low credit risk at the date of initial application of IFRS 9, The Bank and its

subsidiaries may assume that the credit risk on its assets has not increased significantly since its

initial recognition.

4) Classification of financial assets on the date of initial application of IFRS 9

The following table shows the original measurement categories under IAS 39 and the new

measurement categories under IFRS 9 for each class of the Bank and its subsidiaries' financial

assets as of January 1, 2018.

Note1: The corporate debt securities categorized as available-for-sale under IAS 39 are held by The Bank and its subsidiaries' s treasury unit in a separate portfolio to provide interest income; however they may be sold to meet liquidity requirements arising in the normal course of business. The Bank and its subsidiaries considers that these securities are held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and by selling securities. The corporate debt securities and the contractual terms of these financial assets give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. These assets have therefore been classified as financial assets at FVOCI under IFRS 9. An allowance for impairment of $24,495 (effects of tax for $213) was recognized in opening retained earnings and other equity on transition to IFRS 9 on January 1, 2018.


Note2: The investment in debt instruments that were previously classified to available- for-sale under IAS 39. The Bank and its subsidiaries evaluated that in the past these securities were held within a business model whose objective is achieved by collecting the contractual cash flows, and they will be possessed in the same purpose. Therefore, The Bank and its subsidiaries has classified the assets to debt investments measured at amortized costs. An increase of $1,559 in allowance for impairment and a decrease of $71,142 in valuation losses were recognized in retained earnings and other equity on January 1, 2018 respectively upon transition to IFRS 9.

Note3: These equity securities represent investments that The Bank and its subsidiaries intends to hold for the long term for strategic purposes. As permitted by IFRS 9, The Bank and its subsidiaries has designated these investments at the date of initial application as measured at FVOCI.

Note4: The investment in debt instruments that were previously classified as held-to-maturity are now classified as financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income under IFRS 9. The Bank and its subsidiaries assesses that these securities are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting the contractual cash flows and by selling securities, and for which the contractual cash flows are fully be paid for the principal and interests incurred. An increase of $909 in allowance for impairment and $80,344 in valuation gains were recognized under retained earnings and other equity on January 1, 2018 respectively upon transition to IFRS 9.

Note5: The investment in debt instruments that were previously classified as held-to-maturity are now classified at amortized cost. The Bank and its subsidiaries assesses that these securities are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by collecting the contractual cash flows, and for which the contractual cash flows are fully be paid for the principal and interests incurred. An increase of $71,089 (effects of income tax for $144) in the allowance for impairment was recognized in opening retained earnings on January 1, 2018 upon transition to IFRS 9.

Note6: These equity securities represent investment that The Bank and its subsidiaries intends to hold for the long term for strategic purposes. As permitted by IFRS 9, The Bank and its subsidiaries has designated these investments at the date of initial application as measured at FVOCI. An increase of $2,381,589 in the valuation gains was recognized in other equity on January 1, 2018 upon transition to IFRS 9.

Note7: The allowance for bad debts of the financial assets were assessed in "incurred loss" model under IAS 39. It will be replaced with "expected credit loss" model under IFRS 9. Therefore, an increase of $494 (effects of income tax for $2) in the allowance for impairment was recognized in retained earnings on January 1, 2018 upon transition to IFRS 9.

(b) The impact of IFRS endorsed by FSC but not yet effective

The following new standards, interpretations and amendments have been endorsed by the FSC and are

effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 in accordance with Ruling No. 1070324857

issued by the FSC on July 17, 2018:

New, Revised or Amended Standards and InterpretationsEffective date per

IASB

IFRS 16 "Leases" January 1, 2019

IFRIC 23 "Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments" January 1, 2019

Amendments to IFRS 9 "Prepayment features with negative compensation" January 1, 2019

Amendments to IAS 28 "Long-term interests in associates and joint ventures" January 1, 2019

Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2015–2017 Cycle January 1, 2019

Except for the following items, the The Bank and its subsidiaries believes that the adoption of the above

IFRSs would not have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The extent and impact of

significant changes are as follows:

(i) IFRS 16"Leases"

IFRS 16 replaces the existing leases guidance, including IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether

an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases – Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the

Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.

IFRS 16 introduces a single and an on-balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. A lessee

recognizes a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability

representing its obligation to make lease payments. In addition, the nature of expenses related to those

leases will now be changed since IFRS 16 replaces the straight-line operating lease expense with a

depreciation charge for right-of-use assets and interest expense on lease liabilities. There are recognition

exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value items. The lessor accounting remains similar to

the current standard – i.e. the lessors will continue to classify leases as finance or operating leases.

1) Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease

On transition to IFRS 16, The Bank and its subsidiaries can choose to apply either of the following:

• IFRS 16 definition of a lease to all its contracts; or

• a practical expedient that does not need any reassessment whether a contract is, or contains, a

lease.

• The Bank and its subsidiaries plans to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the definition of

a lease upon transition. This means that it will apply IFRS 16 to all contracts entered into before

January 1, 2019 and identified as leases in accordance with IAS 17 and IFRIC 4.

2) Transition

As a lessee, The Bank and its subsidiaries can apply the standard using either of the following:

• retrospective approach; or

• modified retrospective approach with optional practical expedients.

The lessee applies the election consistently to all of its leases.

On January 1, 2019, The Bank and its subsidiaries plans to initially apply IFRS 16 using the modified

retrospective approach. Therefore, the cumulative effect of adopting IFRS 16 will be recognized

as an adjustment to the opening balance at January 1, 2019, with no restatement of comparative

information.

When applying the modified retrospective approach to leases previously classified as operating

leases under IAS 17, the lessee can elect, on a lease-by-lease basis, whether to apply a number

of practical expedients on transition. The Bank and its subsidiaries chooses to elect the following

practical expedients:

FINA

NC

IAL S

TATUS

Ⅵ

- Apply a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.

- Apply the exemption not to recognize the right-of-use assets and liabilities to leases with lease term

that ends within 12 months of the date of initial application.

- Exclude the initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use assets at the date of initial

application.

- Use hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or

terminate the lease.

3) So far, the most significant impact identified is that The Bank and its subsidiaries will have to

recognize the new assets and liabilities for the operating leases of its offices. The Bank and its

subsidiaries estimated that the right-of-use assets and the lease liabilities to increase by 911,838

thousand and 891,321 thousand respectively, as well as the prepaid rents to decrease by 20,517

thousand on January 1, 2019. No significant impact is expected for the finance leases. Besides, The

Bank and its subsidiaries does not expect the adoption of IFRS 16 to have any impact on its ability to

comply with the revised maximum leverage threshold loan covenant.

(c) The impact of IFRS issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC

As of the date, the following IFRSs that have been issued by the IASB, but have yet to be endorsed by the

FSC:


Amendments to IFRS 3 "Definition of a Business" January 1, 2020

Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 "Sale or Contribution of Assets Between an Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture"

Effective date to be determined by IASB

IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" January 1, 2021

Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 "Definition of Material" January 1, 2020

The Bank and its subsidiaries assessed that the above IFRSs may not be relevant.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESThe significant accounting policies presented in the consolidated financial statements are summarized as follows.

The following accounting policies were applied consistently throughout the periods presented in the consolidated

financial statements.

(A) Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing

the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Banks (hereinafter referred to as the Regulation) and the

International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations and

SIC Interpretations endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission, ROC.

(B) Basis of preparation

(a) Basis of measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for the

following material items in the statement of financial position:

(1) Financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss (including derivative instruments);

(2) Financial instrument measured at fair value through other comprehensive income;

(3) Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value (applicable before the year ended

December 31, 2017 ) ; and

(4) The net defined benefit liability (asset) is recognized as fair value of plan assets, less present value of

defined benefit obligation and the effect of the asset ceiling in Note 4(M).


(b) Consolidation of financial statement

The consolidation financial statements include the headquarter and all the domestic branches, foreign

branches and its subsidiaries. The internal transactions within the headquarter, the domestic branches

and the foreign branches are offset when preparing the consolidated financial statement.

(c) Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each entities is determined based on the primary economic environment in

which the entities operate. The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollar,

which is the Bank's functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan Dollar has been

rounded to the nearest thousand.

(C) Basis of consolidation

(a) Subsidiary

A subsidiary is an enterprise controlled by the Bank. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included

in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control

ceases.

Gains or losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-

controlling interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance.

(b) Elimination of inter-group transaction

Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group

transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The unrealized profits

arising from the transactions with the investments under the equity method are eliminated to the extent of

the percentage of shares possessed by the group over the investee. The unrealized losses are eliminated

in the same way as the unrealized profit, but only under the circumstances that there are no evidences of

impairment.

(D) Foreign currency

(a) Foreign currency transaction

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities

at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign

currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate of Bank

of Taiwan at 10 AM. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between

amortized cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period adjusted for the effective interest

and payments during the period, and the amortized cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange

rate at the end of the period.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are

retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined.

Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured based on historical cost are translated

using the exchange rate at the date of translation. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation

are recognized in profit or loss, except for the equity instruments measured at fair value through other

comprehensive income (Be identified as available-for-sale before the year ended December 31, 2017)

which are recognized in other comprehensive income arising on the retranslation.

(b) Foreign operations

The income and expenses of foreign operations, excluding foreign operations in hyperinflationary

economies, are translated to the Bank and its subsidiaries' functional currency(not the currency under

highly inflation economy) by the following procedures:

(1) Assets and liabilities are translated at the date of the statement of financial position;

(2) Profit and loss are translated at the average rate (unless the exchange rate of the period fluctuates

intensively, then it applies the exchange rate on the trade date);

(3) Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

All the translation differences arising from above procedures are presented in the foreign currency

translation reserve in equity. The exchange difference from translating net investments in foreign

operations is recognized in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is wholly or partially

disposed, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified

to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal.

(E) Cash and cash equivalent

Cash and cash equivalent comprise cash on hand, petty cash, foreign currency on hand and cash in banks,

but excludes those items which are designated for specific purposes or restricted by contracts and law.

(F) Financial Instruments

All financial assets and liabilities of the Bank and its subsidiaries include derivative instruments, which are

according to the international financial reporting standards approved and issued by the FSC. They are

recognized on the consolidated balance sheet and are measured by the classification of the assets.

The routine transactions of financial assets are based on the trade-date accounting. The Bank and its

subsidiaries shall reclassify all affected financial assets only when it changes its business model for managing

their financial assets.

(a) Financial assets (applicable from January 1, 2018)

(1) Investment in debt instruments measured at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortized coat if it meets both of the following conditions and is not

designated as at FVTPL:

• it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash

flows.

• its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal

and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

A financial asset measured at amortized cost is initially recognized at fair value, plus any directly

attributable transaction costs. These assets are subsequently measured at initial recognition amount

plus/minus accumulated amortization which is calculated using the effective interest method and the

loss allowance measured at amortized cost. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, and

impairment loss, are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in

profit or loss.

(2) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not

designated as at FVPTL.

• it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash

flows and selling financial assets.


• its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal

and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Bank and its subsidiaries

may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in other

comprehensive income. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.

A financial asset measured at FVOCI is initially recognized at fair value, plus any directly attributable

transaction costs. These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated

using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses, and impairment losses,

derived from debt investments are recognized as income in profit or loss, whereas dividends derived

from equity investments are recognized as income in profit or loss, unless the dividend clearly

represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses of financial

assets measured at FVOCI are recognized in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated

in OCI of debt investments are reclassified to profit or loss. However, gains and losses accumulated in

OCI of equity investments are reclassified to retain earnings instead of profit or loss.

Dividend income derived from equity investments is recognized on the date that the Bank and its

subsidiaries' right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is normally

the ex-dividend date.

(3) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

All financial assets not classified as amortized cost or FVOCI described as above are measured at

FVTPL, including derivate financial assets. On initial recognition, the Bank and its subsidiaries may

irrevocably designate a financial asset, which otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at

amortized cost or at FVOCI, as at FVPTL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting

mismatch that would otherwise arise.

Financial assets in this category are measured at fair value at initial recognition. Attributable

transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent changes that are measured

at fair value, which take into account any dividend and interest income, are recognized in profit or

loss.

(4) Loans and advances

Loans and advances are recorded as initial fair value (including direct transaction cost), and the

subsequent measurement recognizes interest income via effective interest rate method (if there is not

much difference then it can adopt straight line method) and is booked as per amortized cost deducted

by impairment loss. Interest accrual on loans and advances is suspended if either of the following

occurs:

• Payment of principal or interest is very likely not to be redeemed as per contracts.

• Non-performing loans are categorized as overdue loans in six months after the settlement period

ends.

(5) Impairment of financial assets

The Bank and its subsidiaries recognize loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial

assets measured at amortized cost, debt investments measured at FVOCI and loan commitments

and financial guarantee contracts. Equity instrument investment does not need to recognize expected

credit losses.

The Bank and its subsidiaries measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime expected

credit loss (ECL), except for the following which are measured as 12-month ECL:

• debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and

• other debt securities, receivables, loan commitments and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e.

the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased

significantly since initial recognition.

FINA

NC

IAL S

TATUS

Ⅵ

Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of

financial instrument.

12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12

month after the reporting date( or a shorter period if the expected life of the instruments is less than

12 months).

The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over

which the Bank and its subsidiaries is exposed to credit risk.

When determining whether the credit risk of financial asset has increased significantly since initial

recognition and when estimating ECL, the Bank and its subsidiaries considers reasonable and

supportable information that is relevant and available( without undue cost or effort). This includes both

quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Bank and its subsidiaries' historical

experience, informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information.

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present

value of all cash shortfalls. The difference between the cash flows due to the Bank and its subsidiaries

expect to receive. ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

At each reporting date, the Bank and its subsidiaries assesses whether financial assets carried at

amortized cost, debt securities at FVOCI, loan commitments and contracts of financial guarantee are

credit-impaired. A financial asset is "credit-impaired" when one or move events that have a detrimental

impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a

financial assets is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:

• significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;

• a breach of contract such as a default or being past due;

• the restructuring of a loan or advance by the borrowers on terms that the borrowers would not

consider otherwise;

• it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;

• the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties; or

• to purchase or initiate financial assets at a substantial discount that reflects the credit losses that

have occurred.

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying

amount of the assets. For debt securities at FVOCI, the loss allowance is charged to profit or loss and

is recognized in other comprehensive income.

In addition to estimate the allowance for bad debts and guarantee liability provisions as above,

according to "Regulations Governing the Procedures for Banking Institutions to Evaluate Assets and

Deal with Non-Performing and Non-Accrual Loans ", and considering the situation of their finance and

the default of principal and interest payment, the credit assets are classified as below:

• 1% of the first class credit assets deducted by the amount of credit assets from the government.

• 2% of the second class credit assets.

• 10% of the third class credit assets.

• 50% of the fourth class credit assets.

• 100% of the fifth class credit assets.

The allowance for bad debts and guarantee liability provisions were assessed by the previously stated

method shall not be less than the amount regulated by "Regulations Governing the Procedures for

Banking Institutions to Evaluate Assets and Deal with Non-Performing and Non-Accrual Loans.

Unrecoverable overdue loans and bad debts of the Bank and its subsidiaries, which are not able to be

recovered after the overdue collection process, are written-off after deducting the recoverable portion.

Upon approval by the board of directors and notification to supervisors, the excess amount of written

off loans over such allowance or reserve is reflected as a current loss.


(b) Financial liabilities (applicable from January 1, 2018)

(1) Financial liability measured at fair value through profit or loss, if one of the following conditions is met

• Financial liabilities held for trading

A financial liability is held for trading if it is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling

or repurchasing it in the near term; on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial

instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of

short-term profit- taking. A derivative, except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or

a designated and effective hedging instrument, is classified as instrument held for trading as well.

• Financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities falling under this category are measured at fair value at initial recognition.

Attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent changes

are measured at fair value and recognized in profit or loss. While for financial liabilities designated

at fair value through profit or loss, the changes in fair value generated from credit risk should be

recognized under other comprehensive income, except for avoiding accounting mismatch that

should be recognized in profit or loss.

(c) Reclassification of financial assets (applicable from January 1, 2018)

The Bank and its subsidiaries only reclassified all affected financial assets in accordance with the

regulations when changing the business model of managing financial assets. These changes are

expected to be extremely infrequent. In addition, the Bank and its subsidiaries must not reclassify any

financial assets and liabilities of equity instruments.

If the Bank and its subsidiaries reclassify financial assets in accordance with the aforesaid circumstances,

the reclassification shall be postponed from the reclassification date, and any previously recognized gains,

losses (including impairment losses or reversal of impairment loss) or interest shall not be restated.

(d) Financial assets and liabilities ( applicable before the years ended December 31, 2017)

(1) Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial instruments in this category includes financial assets and liabilities classified as held-for-

trading and financial assets and liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial

recognition. Financial instrument is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose

of selling or repurchasing in the short term. This type of financial asset is measured at fair value at

the time of initial recognition, and attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as

incurred. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets shall be recognized and derecognized, as

applicable, using trade-date accounting. The derivative financial instruments held by the Bank and its

subsidiaries, except for those designated as hedging instruments, are classified under this account.

In addition, the Bank and its subsidiaries designates financial assets, other than ones classified as

held-for-trading, as at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition under one of the following

situations:

A. A hybrid instrument contains one or more embedded derivatives;

B. Designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that

would otherwise arise; and

C. In accordance with the Bank and its subsidiaries' risk control policy or investment strategy, a set

of financial assets or liabilities and its components managed are also designated at fair value.

(2) Available for sale financial assets

Financial assets are measured at fair value and unrealized gains and losses thereon are recognized

as an adjustment item of equity. Financial instruments held by the Bank and its subsidiary are

recorded on the trade dates. Financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction

costs. The impairment loss is recognized if there is evidence indicating that a decline in the value

of an investment is other than temporary. If the impairment loss in the following period is reduced,

FINA

NC

IAL S

TATUS

129

Ⅵ

reversal of loss for equity investments is adjusted to equity, and reversal of loss for debt instrument is

credited to current income if the reduction of impairment loss resulted from a subsequent event.

(3) Held-to-maturity financial assets

Financial assets are measured at amortized cost and its interest income via effective rate. Financial

assets held by the Bank and its subsidiary are recorded on the trade dates and are initially recognized

at fair value plus transaction costs. The impairment loss is recognized if there is evidence indicating

that a decline in the value of an investment is other than temporary. If in a subsequent period, the

amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event

occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previous recognized impairment loss is reversed

through the profit or loss. The carrying value after the reversal should not exceed the amortized

balance of the assets assuming no impairment loss was recognized.

(4) Financial assets measured at cost

Equity instruments with no quoted market price and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are

stated at cost. The impairment loss is recognized if there is evidence indicating that a decline in the

value of an investment is other than temporary, and the impairment loss is irreversible.

(5) Debt instrument with no active market

These are debt instruments with no active market quote and measured at amortized cost. The

impairment loss is recognized if there is evidence indicating that a decline in the value of an

investment is other than temporary. If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss

decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment

was recognized, the previous recognized impairment loss is reversed through the profit or loss .The

carrying value after the reverse should not exceed the amortized balance of the assets assuming no

impairment loss was recognized.

(6) Loans and advances

Loans and advances are recorded as initial fair value (including direct transaction cost), and the

subsequent measurement recognizes interest income via effective interest rate method (if there is not

much difference then it can adopt straight line method) and is booked as per amortized cost deducted

by impairment loss.

Interest accrual on loans and advances is suspended if either of the following occurs:

A. Payment of principal or interest is very likely not to be redeemed as per contracts.

B. Non-performing loans are categorized as overdue loans in six months after the settlement period

ends.

(7) Allowance for bad debts and provision for guarantee liabilities

Adequate allowance for bad debts is provided for loans and receivables by assessing whether there

is evidence indicating that a single financial asset or a group of financial assets are impaired per the "

Regulations Governing the Procedures for Banking Institutions to Evaluate Assets and Deal with Non-

Performing and Non- Accrual Loans," and the "Regulations Governing Institutions Engaging in Credit

Card Business".

For loans and receivables, the objective evidence should be identified first to reveal any impairment

existing for financial assets that are individually significant, and individual or collective impairment for

financial assets that are not individually significant. If no objective evidence of impairment exists in an

individually assessed financial asset, it should be included in a group of financial assets with similar

credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed for impairment. For assets which have recognized

impairment losses or continue to recognize impairment losses, the aforementioned assessment

method is not required.

If there is an objective evidence that an impairment loss on a financial asset has occurred, the amount

of the loss is recognized and measured via the difference between the asset' s carrying amount

and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset' s original


effective interest rate; the amount of the loss should be recognized as bad debt expenses in profit

or loss of the current period. The estimate of future cash flows includes the recoverable amount of

collaterals and related insurances when determining the amount of the loss.

Above evidences of impairment loss usually include the following:

A. Significant financial difficulty occurs to the issuer or the debtor.

B. There are already default circumstances occur to the issuer or debtor, for example: default or

overdue payment of interest or principal.

C. The creditor give in to the debtor due to commercial or legal concern.

D. The debtor is likely to bankrupt or execute certain financial reorganization.

E. The issuer has financial difficulty and the financial assets cannot be traded in the active market.

F. The payment status of the debtor worsens.

G. The national and regional situation related to the default of the asset changes.

The Bank and its subsidiaries should recognize bad debt expenses when there is an impairment loss on

the financial assets measured at amortized cost.

The impaired amount is the difference between the book value of the financial asset and the sum of

estimated future cash flows discounted by the original effective rate. The book value of the financial

assets is reduced by the allowance account and the amount of impairment losses shall be recognized as

current gains and losses. When deciding the amount of the impairment loss, the estimate of future cash

flows should include the collaterals and the recoverable amount of relevant insurances.

According to "Regulations Governing the Procedures for Banking Institutions to Evaluate Assets and Deal

with Non-Performing and Non-Accrual Loans ", the Bank shall provide the sum of the following to be the

allowance for bad debts:

• 1% of the first class credit assets deducted by the amount of credit assets from the government.

• 2% of the second class credit assets.

• 10% of the third class credit assets.

• 50% of the fourth class credit assets.

• 100% of the fifth class credit assets.

The allowance for bad debts assessed by the previously stated method shall not be less than the amount

regulated by "Regulations Governing the Procedures for Banking Institutions to Evaluate Assets and Deal

with Non-Performing and Non-Accrual Loans ".

The Bank and its subsidiaries provide reserve for guarantee liabilities for off-balance- sheet non-

credit assets taking into account the regulation of "Regulations Governing the Procedures for Banking

Institutions to Evaluate Assets and Deal with Non-Performing and Non-Accrual Loans".

Unrecoverable overdue loans and bad debts, which are not able to be recovered after the overdue

collection process, are written-off after deducting the recoverable portion. Upon approval by the board of

directors and notification to supervisors, the excess amount of written off loans over such allowance or

reserve is reflected as a current loss.

Above amounts provided are booked under the account of bad debt expenses.

(e) Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities

The Bank and its subsidiaries shall derecognize a financial asset when the contractual rights to the

cash flows from the financial asset expire or when the Bank and its subsidiaries transfer substantially all

the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets. A financial liability should be removed from

the balance sheet when, and only when, it is extinguished, that is, when the obligation specified in the

contract is either discharged or cancelled or expires. If the bonds or stocks are taken as collateral, shall

not be derecognized because the Bank and its subsidiaries have retained substantially all the risks and

rewards of ownership. This is also applicable when the Bank and its subsidiaries conduct securitization

transactions and still retain some of the risks.

FINA

(f) Financial instruments offsetting

A financial asset and a financial liability should be offset and the net amount reported when, and only

when, an entity has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts; and intends either to settle on a net

basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(G) Impairmentlossonnon-financialassets

The recoverable amount for an individual asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less

costs to sell or its value in use. If, and only if, the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying

amount, the carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced to its recoverable amount. That reduction is an

impairment loss. An impairment loss shall be recognized immediately in profit or loss.

An impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill shall be reversed if, and only

if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last

impairment loss was recognized. If this is the case, the carrying amount of the asset shall be increased to its

recoverable amount, as a reversal of a previously recognized impairment loss.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed

only to the extent that the asset' s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have

been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

(H) Property, Plant and Equipment

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated

impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributed to the acquisition of the asset.

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated

with the expenditure will flow to the Group. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is

derecognized. Ongoing repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred.

Land has an unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated. The estimated useful lives for the current

and comparative years of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

(a) Buildings 35-50 years

(b) Equipment and machine 3-8 years

(c) Lease asset 5 years

The Bank and its subsidiaries reviews and adjusts the residual value and the useful lives of assets at the end

of each fiscal year. Whenever there is evidence indicating that the carrying amount is unable to be recovered

due to environmental activities or changes, the Bank and its subsidiaries evaluate the impairment loss of

assets.

If the carrying amount is higher than the recoverable amount, the carrying amount is adjusted to the

recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the fair value or the use value deducted by the disposition

expense.

The gain or loss on disposal is the difference between the carrying amount and net disposal proceeds,

and gain or loss on disposal shall be recognized as net gain or loss on non-other interest of consolidated

comprehensive income.

When purchasing machinery equipment and computer software, the education fee implied in the contract is

not recognized as the cost of machinery equipment and is recognized as expense.

For the lease contracts which regulate the Bank and its subsidiaries to restore the property to the original

status, the Group reviews the terms of each contract and calculated the present value of the restoration

expenses when signing the contracts. The decommissioning liability reserve is provided based on the

calculation and the discount rate is determined based on the Bank's policy.


(I) Leasehold

Leases contract can be divided into operating lease contracts and financing (capital) lease contracts. If a

lease contract transfers almost all the risk and reward comes with the leasehold, the leasehold is considered

financing (capital) lease. If a lease contract does not transfers almost all the risk and reward comes with the

leasehold, the leasehold is considered operating lease.

Depreciation is calculated per the regulation of IAS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment" and IAS 38 "Intangible

Assets". If there is no reason to be sure that the lessee will obtain the ownership of the assets at the end of

the lease period for financing leasehold, the assets shall be depreciated within the lease period or the durable

service time, whichever is shorter. The lease contracts of the Bank and its subsidiaries include operating lease

and financing lease.

(J) Deferred assets

The costs of installation for utilities, including electricity and water, as well as security facilities, are capitalized

and amortized equally over 5 years.

(K) Collateral assumed

Collaterals assumed are stated at the lower of net book value or net realizable value; i.e., the amount the

Bank receives when creditors cannot meet obligations and the collaterals and salvages are auctioned off.

Under FSC Letter Ruling (2)0948010856 on July 11, 2005, collateral assumed must be disposed before

December 31, 2005. If the Bank is unable to dispose the collateral assumed before December 31, 2005, it

reserves a provision for loss equal to the carrying value of the collateral assumed. On disposition of collateral,

the related provision is reversed. The selling price deducts the original book value of collateral assumed is

recognized as gain on sale of collateral assumed.

(L) Provisions

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Bank and its subsidiaries has a present legal or

constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probably that an outflow of economic benefits

will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash

flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks

specific to the liability. Amortization of the discount is recognized as interest expense. Future operating loss

cannot be recognized as liability reserve.

Contingent liability refers to the possible obligation results from past events. The existence of contingent

liability can only be proved by whether one or more uncertain events which can not be controlled by the Bank

and its subsidiaries occurs or not. Contingent liability also refers to the current obligation results from a past

event, but not likely to cause outflow of economic resource to redeem the obligation or the amount of the

obligation cannot be measured reliably. The Bank and its subsidiaries do not recognized contingent liability

and disclose it per related regulations.

(M) Employeebenefit

(a) Short term employee benefit

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as

the related service is provided.

(b) Retirement benefit

The pension provision of the Bank and its subsidiaries includes defined contribution plan and defined

benefit plan. For the personnel of foreign offices, the Bank provides pension fund per the regulations of

the local authorities.

Defined contribution plan refers to the plan that the Bank and its subsidiaries annually provide certain

amount of money to funds to fulfill the obligation. The Bank and its subsidiaries provide pension based on

FINA

NC

IAL S

TATUS

133

Ⅵ

compulsory obligation, contracts or voluntary will to public or private managed pension funds. If certain

pension fund fail to pay the employees the benefit which they deserve for the service they provided, the

Bank and its subsidiary do not hold legal or constructive obligation to pay additional provision. The Bank

and its subsidiaries recognize the pension fund provided as current pension cost on accrual basis.

The Bank' s net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each

plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in

the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Any unrecognized

past service costs and the fair value of any plan assets are deducted. The discount rate is the yield at

the reporting date on government bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Bank' s

obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid.

The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When

the calculation results in a benefit to the Bank, the recognized asset is limited to the total of the present

value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future

contributions to the plan. In order to calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is

given to any minimum funding requirements that apply to any plan in the Bank and its subsidiaries. An

economic benefit is available to the Bank and its subsidiaries if it is realizable during the life of the plan, or

on settlement of the plan liabilities.

If the benefits of a plan are improved, the pension cost incurred from the portion of the increased benefit

relating to past service by employees, is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

The remeasurements of net defined benefit liability (asset) include:

(1) Actuarial gains and losses;

(2) Return on plan assets, excluding net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset); and

(3) The effect of the asset ceiling, excluding net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset).

The remeasurements of defined benefit liability (asset) are recognized as other comprehensive income

with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings in the period in which they occur.

Gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of a defined benefit plan are recognized when the

curtailment or settlement occurs. The gain or loss on curtailment arises from any changes in the fair

value of plan assets, any changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation, and any related

actuarial gains or losses and past service cost which had not previously been recognized.

(c) Deposits with favorable rate

The Bank provides deposits with favorable rate to employees, which include current employee fix

amount deposits with favorable rate and retired employee fix amount deposits with favorable rate.

The rate difference between the favorable rate and the market rate belongs to the category of employee

benefit.

According to article 28 of "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Report by Public Banks",

the additional interests result from the difference between deposit with favorable rate and the deposits

with market interest rate shall be calculated by actuary per the regulations related to defined benefit

plan in IAS 19 . The parameters of actuarial assumptions shall follow the regulations of the competent

authority.

In accordance with the regulation of "Discussion of the employee benefit actuarial assumption related

matter for adopting IAS 19 with respect to the additional interest of employee deposits with favorable rate"

issued by the Banking Bureau, the difference between the actual payment and the estimated retirement

benefit obligation is deemed as changes in accounting estimate and is recognized in profit or loss.

(d) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are recognized as an obligation when the Group is demonstrably committed, without

realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to either terminate employment before the

normal retirement date, or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage


voluntary redundancy. The Bank and its subsidiaries recognize liabilities when a formal irrevocable

termination project is undertaken or when benefit is provided for encouraging voluntary resignation. If

benefits are payable more than 12 months after the reporting period, then they are discounted to their

present value.

(N) Income tax

Income tax expenses refer to current and deferred income taxes. All current and deferred taxes shall be

recognized in profit or loss except for the items related to business combinations or recognized directly in

equity or other comprehensive income.

Current income tax includes tax payable or tax refundable on taxable income (loss) for the year calculated

using the statutory tax rate on the reporting date or the actual legislative tax rate, as well as tax adjustments

related to prior years.

Deferred income tax is measured and recognized based on the temporary difference between the carrying

amount of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting purpose and the amount served as the taxable

basis. It is measured by the tax rate which the assets expected to be realized or liabilities to be settled and is

based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted on the balance sheet date.

The land incremental tax results from the revaluation per relevant regulations is categorized as taxable

temporary difference and is recognized as deferred tax liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities may be offset against each other if the following criteria are met:

(a) The entity has the legal right to settle tax assets and liabilities on a net basis; and

(b) The taxing of deferred tax assets and liabilities fulfills one of below scenarios:

(1) Levied by the same taxing authority; or

(2) Levied by different taxing authorities, but where each such authority intends to settle tax assets and

liabilities (where such amounts are significant) on a net basis every year of the period of expected

asset realization or debt liquidation, or where the timing of asset realization and debt liquidation is

matched.

A deferred tax asset is recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and

deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available

against which the unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences can be

utilized. Such unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences are also

revaluated every year on the financial reporting date, and adjusted based on the probability that future

taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible

temporary differences can be utilized.

The surtax on undistributed earnings is recognized as current expense on the date when the stockholders

decide not to distribute the earnings in the annual meetings.

(O) Revenue recognition

Interest is recognized according to interest method. Interest accrual is suspended from the date when the loan

is reclassified to non-performing loan and only when the Bank and its subsidiaries receive cash, the revenue

is recognized.

The revenue of handling fee is recognized when cash collected or when the process of the profit are mostly

completed. In addition, for the individual loan which does not belong to labor service and the handling fee

is over 1% of the principal, the interest rate shall be adjusted from the original agreed interest rate to the

effective interest rate. For the individual loan which does not belong to the service and the handling fee is less

that 1% of the principal, the recognition of the revenue should be deferred and be recognized as revenue

during the loan period.

(P) Earnings per share (EPS)

FINA

NC

IAL S

TATUS

135

Ⅵ

EPS is based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. In the event of capital increase through

capitalization of retained earnings, capital surplus, or employee bonuses, EPS is retroactively adjusted based

on the percentage of capital increase, regardless of the period when the incremental shares are outstanding.

The employee bonuses of the Bank and its subsidiaries issued by stocks were dilutive potential common

shares. If the potential common shares have a non-dilutive effect, the Bank and its subsidiaries should only

disclose the basic earnings per share. On the contrary, if the potential common shares have a dilutive effect,

the Bank and its subsidiaries should disclose both the basic and diluted earnings per share. In calculating

the diluted earnings per share, it is based on the assumption that all dilutive potential common shares are

outstanding, and therefore the net income and the shares outstanding shall be adjusted in accordance with

the calculation.

(Q) Operating segments

Operating segment is the component of the Bank and its subsidiaries that engages in business activities from

which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions

with other components of the Bank and its subsidiaries). The segment's operating results are reviewed

regularly by the Bank's chief operating decision maker to make decisions pertaining to the allocation of

resources to the segment and to assess the performance for which discrete financial information is available.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ASSUMPTIONS AND JUDGMENTS, AND MAJOR SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTYThe preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with the Regulations and the IFRSs endorsed

by the FSC requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the

accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ

from these estimates.

The management inspects estimates and basic assumptions continuously, changes in accounting estimate will be

recognized in the periods which the change occurred and future periods effected.

Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the

amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is as following :

(A) Impairment losses on loans

The impairment of loans of the Bank and its subsidiaries was evaluated by identifying the credit risk of those

financial assets have significantly increased or not at the reporting date if the credit risk has not significant

incurred, the 12-month expected credit loss should be adopted to evaluate, or the lifetime credit loss

evaluation should be adopted.

To evaluate the expected credit losses for 12-month and lifetime, the Bank and its subsidiaries considers

the unfavorable changes of payment status or the economic conditions of the countries or areas related to

the default loans. When analyzing expected cash flows, the estimates by the management are based on the

pass losses experience from assets with similar credit risk characteristics. In order to reduce losses from

the difference between estimated and actual amount, the Bank and its subsidiaries has considered historical

experience, current economic conditions and forward-looking information at the reporting date to determine

the assumptions to be used in calculating the impairments and the select inputs.

(B) Retirementbenefit

The present value of the retirement benefit obligation is the actuarial result based on several assumptions.

Any change of the assumptions may influence the carrying amount of the retirement benefit obligation.


The assumptions applied to determine net pension cost (revenue) include the discount rate. The Bank and

its subsidiaries determine the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year and apply it to calculate

the present value of the future cash outflows which are to be paid to the retirement benefit obligation. To

determine the appropriate discount rate, the Bank and its subsidiaries should consider the interest rate of

high quality corporate bonds and government bonds. The currency of the retirement benefit shall be the

same as that of the high quality corporate bond or government bonds and the duration till maturity date shall

comply with the duration of the related pension obligation. Other significant assumptions of retirement benefit

obligation are based on the current market situation.

(AN) Financial Instruments

(a) Fair value information

(1) General description

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly

transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The financial instruments are record as fair value when original recognizing, usually refer to the

transaction price in many circumstances. Except some amortized cost financial instruments, the

financial instruments are measured in fair value. A quoted market price in an active market provides

the most reliable evidence of fair value. If financial instruments are without active market, the Bank

and its subsidiaries adopted the value technique, refer to Bloomberg, Reuters or the price at which the

asset could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties.


(2) The definition of fair value hierarchy

A. First tier

The input of this tier is quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments. The

active market is a market in which transactions for the homogenous assets or liabilities take place

with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information. The stock of listed company

and the beneficiary certificates, government bonds and the derivative financial instruments with

public quote inactive market processed by the Bank and its subsidiaries belong to the First tier.

B. Second tier

The input of this tier are other than quoted market prices included within First tier that are

observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from

prices). The government bonds with lower trade volume, corporate bonds, financial debentures,

convertible corporate bonds and derivative instruments, including financial debentures the Bank

and its subsidiaries issued are belong to second tier.

C. Third tier and the subsidiaries

The input are unobservable for the asset or liability in market or counterparty prices.

Unobservable inputs like: Option pricing model using the historical volatility. Because the

historical volatility cannot represent the future volatility expected value of whole market

participants. The input parameter used to measure the fair value of this tier is not based on data

that can be obtained in the market but using a combination of complex market prices to estimate

their values. The assets have been categorized as a third tier 3, due to their fair market value

cannot be directly calculated. The equity instruments with no active market which the Bank and

its subsidiaries invested are third tier.

(3) Based on fair value measurement

B. Valuation techniques used in estimating the fair values of financial instruments

If the financial instruments has quoted price in an active market, the quoted price is regarded as

its fair value.

If the financial instruments of quoted price, which are from the Stock Exchange, Brokers,

Pricing service agencies or Government institutions, are timely and frequently, and reflects the

actual price, then the financial instruments has a quoted price in an active market. If the above

conditions are not fulfilled, the market is inactive.

Except for the above financial instruments of quoted price in an active market, there is no quoted

price in an active market for the financial asset, its fair value is estimated on the basis of the result

of a valuation technique that refers to quoted prices considered the identical financial instrument

with same characteristics and essential terms of transaction, Discounted-Cash-Flow model

and other valuation techniques including the model using market information to be made of the

calculation at the balance sheet date(eg Taipei Exchange reference yield curve, Reuters quoted


the average commercial paper rate, the Taipei Financial industry call loan rate fixing TAIBOR).

The financial asset's fair value is estimated on the basis of the result of a valuation technique, the

Bank and its subsidiaries adopted that refers to quoted prices provided by financial institutions.

Ask (bid) is used to evaluate the selling (buying) position by the Bank and its subsidiaries if

the quoted price include ask and bid price. If there is not a quoted price for the financial asset,

transaction price close to the balance sheet date is the fair value.

Fair value of financial derivatives are the amount of cash to be paid or to be received by the Bank

and its subsidiaries, assuming that the contract will be terminated on the balance sheet date.

The Bank and its subsidiaries adopts mark-to-model prices which are usually adopted among

the banking industry, such as Discounted-Cash-Flow model and Black-Scholes model. The

Bank and its subsidiaries adopts the price data from Reuters and Bloomberg to calculate the fair

value of the holding position. The aforesaid price data is based upon the middle price and used

consistently by the Bank. Furthermore, the fair value of the embedded financial derivatives are

calculated based upon the quote from the counterparty, and separately calculated in accordance

with the contracts.

C. Adjustment for fair value

a. The restraint of evaluation model and uncertain inputs

The estimates of output-based value using the evaluation model, which may not reflect the

Bank's all related factors. Therefore the estimated value of the evaluation model will be

appropriately adjusted according to the extra parameters such as model risk or liquidity risk.

Information and price parameters used in the evaluation process after careful assessment,

and appropriately adjusted according to the current market situation.

b. Credit risk value adjustment

The Bank and its subsidiaries' credit risk value adjustment of OTC transaction derivative

instruments can be divided to Credit value adjustments (CVA) and debit value adjustments

(DVA). To reflect the fair value of the counterparty or the default, and the Bank and its

subsidiaries may not be received or paid full market value of trading possibilities.

The Bank and its subsidiaries would calculate credit valuation adjustment (CVA) by assessing

probability of default (PD) and loss given default (LGD) of the counterparty before multiplying

exposure at default (EAD) of the counterparty. On the contrary, debit valuation adjustment

(DVA).

The Bank and its subsidiaries assess the probability of default on the assumption of 60%, but

at the risk of the nature and circumstances of available data, we may use other loss given

default assumptions.

D. Transfers between first tier and second tier

There were no transfers between second tier and first tier for the years ended December 31,

2018 and 2017.

H. Sensitivity analysis of reasonably possible alternative assumptions for fair value measurement in

third tier.

Valuation techniques used by the Bank and its subsidiaries for fair value measurements of

financial instruments are appropriate. However, the use of different valuation models or inputs

could lead to different outcomes of fair value measurements. The following are the impact on the

other comprehensive profit and loss if using different assumptions:

a. Asset approach/ Market approach

The evaluation methods of the third tier financial instruments of the Bank and its subsidiaries

are mainly based on the market approach or the asset approach. If the liquidity discount

changes by 5% upwards or downwards, the impact on the other comprehensive profit and

loss is as follows:

b. Income approach

2) cost of equity

analysis above only reflects the effects of changes in a single input, and it does not include

the interrelationships with another input.

C. Valuation techniques

Methods and assumptions used by the Bank and its subsidiaries for evaluation of financial

instruments not measured by fair value were as follows:

a. Cash and cash equivalents, due from Central Bank and call loans to banks, securities

FINA

IAL S

TATUS

purchased under resell agreements, receivables, non-accrual loans transferred from non-

loan financial assets, exchange bills negotiated guarantee deposits paid, temporary payments

and suspense accounts, proceeds of settlement and credit transaction, deposits from Central

Bank and other banks, securities sold under repurchase agreements, payables, other financial

liabilities , guarantee deposits received and temporary receipts and suspense accounts: since

these instruments have short maturities, the book value is adopted as a reasonable basis in

estimating the fair value.

b. Discounts and loans(including non-performing loans): the interest rate of bank loans,

dependent on the benchmark interest rate which plus or minus the input value(i.e. motorized

interest rate), said market rates, therefore, the book value of financial assets is equivalent to

their fair value. Among the case of fixed interest rate, the estimated fair value of long-term

loans using the discounted value of its expected cash flows, but this is minority, so the book

value of financial assets is equivalent to their fair value.

c. Investment in debt instruments at amortized cost (applicable from January 1, 2018) and

hold-to-maturity financial assets (applicable before the year ended December 31, 2017): the

quoted price is regarded as its fair value. If there is no quoted price in an active market for the

financial asset, its fair value is estimated on the basis of the result of a valuation technique.

1) Central Government Securities (NTD): using the comment of "Bonds a fair price for each

of times" from Taipei Exchange.

2) Corporate bonds and financial bonds (NTD): the present value or fair price of Taipei

Exchange determined using the future cash flow of yield curve discounting evaluation.

d. Deposits and remittance: to determine the fair value, considered Banking industry

characteristics, the market interest rates (i.e. market price) is the fair value. And deposits

are mostly due within one year, the carrying amounts is the fair value of reasonable basis.

The fixed interest rate of long-term deposits should be estimated by the discounted value of

its expected cash flows at fair value, and its maturity date no longer than three years, so its

estimated fair value of the carrying amount is considered reasonable.

e. Bank debentures payable: The bank debentures payable, issued by the Bank, whose stated

rate was equal the effective rate, using discounted cash flow projections to estimate the fair

value, equivalent to its book value.

f. Other financial assets– debt investment without active market (applicable before the year

ended December 31, 2017): If there is some dealing price, using the price to evaluate the fair

value. If there is not market value, using evaluation model to estimate the fair value.

g. Other financial assets– the financial assets using cost method (applicable before the year

ended December 31, 2017): Because there is without active price and estimated fair value's

variation material or the variation estimates cannot be reasonable assessment, the fair value

cannot be reliably measured, the Bank does not disclose their fair value.

bad debts in order to improve the quality of the credit assets of the Bank and its subsidiaries.

(c) Credit risk

(1) Source and definition of credit risk

Credit risk refers to the default risk resulted from the inability to fulfill the contract obligations due to

deteriorating financial status of trade counterparties, pessimistic external economic situation or other

factors. The primary source of the credit risk of the Bank is the loan business, such as loans of various

terms, guarantees and letters of credit, loan commitments, etc., in addition, other sources of credit risk

include call loans from banks, securities investments, derivative financial instrument transactions, etc.

(2) Credit risk management policy

In order to control the credit risk to a tolerable scope, the Bank continuously conduct below

operations:

A. Fully understand the credit status and ratings of loan customers and trade counterparties as well

as the purposes and payments of loans.

B. Prudently evaluates the credit risk status of loan customers and trade counterparties and consider

the adequacy of collaterals and guarantees to assess risk and profit.

C. Establish credit rating mechanism for loan customers or apply the ratings from outside credit

rating institutions as the reference for undertaking credit cases or interest rate determination.

D. Modify relevant regulations to control the credit risk to a tolerable extent for the Bank.

The credit risk management procedure and measurement methods of the Bank's major business are as

follows:

A. Credit Business (Including loan commitments and guarantees)

The categorization and credit quality rating of credit assets are as follows:

a. Categorization of credit assets

The credit assets are classified into 5 categories. Except for normal credit assets which are

classified as the first category, others are classified, based on the assurance status and the

time overdue, as second category (need attention), third category (possible to recover), fourth

category (difficult to retrieve) and the fifth category (unable to retrieve). In order to manage

creditor's rights, the Bank established "Regulations Governing the Procedures to Evaluate

Assets and Deal with Non-performing/Non-accrual Loans", "Regulations Governing the

Reconciliation of Non- performing/Non-accrual Loans" and its operating procedure "Operating

procedure Governing the Collection of Non-performing/Non-accrual Loans" and "Code of

Conduct to Deal With Non-Performing Loans" to serve as the guidelines for dealing with non-

performing credit and overdue loans collection.


b. Categorization of credit quality

Based on historical default data, the Bank established internal credit rating model and

completed internal rating system to serve as a reference to credit risk control.

In order to develop an appropriate credit rating model for the Bank to evaluate the credit

risk for corporate banking customers and private banking customers, it applied statistical

methods, professional expert judgments and relevant customer information to fulfill the

requirements. The Bank examined whether the internal credit rating model is in conformity

with the actual scenario based on practical default data quarterly and adjusted all parameters

to optimize the estimated results.

B. Due from other banks and call loans to banks

The Bank evaluates the credit status of counterparties before transaction and takes the rating

information from domestic and foreign credit rating institutions into consideration to determine

various credit risk facilities for the counterparties.

C. Debt instrument investments and derivative financial instruments

The Bank manages credit risk of debt instruments through credit rating data of external

institutions, credit quality of bonds, geographic situations and counterparties' risk so as to identify

credit risk.

The financial institutions which the Bank conducts derivative instruments are mostly investment

quality and are controlled based on the trade amount (including loans at call). Counterparties

which do not have credit rating or which are of low quality shall be examined individually. For

counterparties which are general customers, the Bank controls the credit risk exposure based on

the derivative instrument risk facilities and conditions approved by general credit procedures.

(3) Determining the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition

At each reporting date, the Bank and its subsidiaries shall assess the change in the risk of a default

occurring over the expected life of the various credit assets and financial assets to determine whether

the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. To make that assessment, the Bank

and its subsidiaries consider reasonable and supportable information ( including forward-looking

information) that is indicative of significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition. The main

considerations include:

A. credit assets

a. The borrowers failed to pay the principal and interest overdue for more than 30 days, less

than 90 days;

b. When the Bank and its subsidiaries conducts review or follow-up review of the relevant

management procedures after loan, it knows that the financial report of the borrowers have

been issued by the accountant and it has issued opinions of the significant doubt on the ability

to continue as a going concern;

c. The deposits and assets of borrowers are compulsorily executed, besides, the deposits are

compulsorily executed because of tax arrears. However, the borrowers that have enough

deposit to bear the cost that assessed by the Bank and its subsidiaries are except;

d. The Bank knows (if it has received the notice from court) that the collaterals are compulsory

executed by other bank;

e. Borrowers were notified the refund by the Bank and did not conduct refund notice;

f. The letter of credit insurance fund notice due to the related company's overdue debt in other

bank, the creditor to stop the delivery;

g. Because the borrowers have been involved in litigation and unfavorable judgments, their

ability of credit performance is affected;

FINA

NC

IAL S

TATUS

171

Ⅵ

h. The customer is classified as an early warning account by the Bank or has bad credit that

aware by others.

B. Debt instrument investments

a. The latest credit rating on the report date was non-investment grade and fell more than two

levels than the original rating, or;

b. Investment target evaluation loss is up to 30% of investment cost.

(4) The credit risk has not increased significantly or judged as low credit risk on the report date

On each report date, the Bank and its subsidiaries assessed that there was no significant increase in

the risk of default for any credit asset during the expected duration of existence or a low credit risk.

The amount of expected credit losses was not taken as the change of credit risk, if the credit risk of

the credit asset was low on the report date, It also assumes that the credit risk of the credit asset

has not increased significantly since the initial recognition. The credit assets with low credit risk

refer to the low default risk and the borrower's ability to perform its contractual cash flow obligations

in the near term. No significant increase in risk relates to the borrower. The absence of economic,

operational, and adverse changes in financial conditions and other bad debt conditions did not affect

their ability to fulfill their contractual cash flow obligations. Financial assets on investment-grade or not

on investment-grade but the ratings are not significantly reduced are also considered to be low-risk

areas.

(5) Definitions of default and credit-impaired financial assets

A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the

estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is

credit-impaired not only the borrower defaults the loan more than 90 days , it also includes observable

data as follows:

A. Credit assets

a. Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;

b. A breach of contract, such as a default or past due event ;

c. The lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower' s

financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not

otherwise consider;

d. It is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial

reorganization;

e. The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;

f. The purchase or origination of a financial asset at a considerable amount of discount that

reflects the incurred credit losses;

B. Debt instrument investments

a. Significant financial difficulty of the issuer;

b. The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;

c. The purchase or origination of a financial asset at a considerable amount of discount that

reflects the incurred credit losses.

d. Counterparty defaulting on agreement of other financial instruments (e.g. transactions

settlement failure, a bank decide to execute early termination of transactions, or loans

originated from derivatives settlement failure).

(6) Write-off policy

The integral part or the portion of the credit assets that needs to be written-off should first be

approved during the board of directors' meeting; particularly, the portion that is deemed uncollectible.

The following are indicators that the financial assets are uncollectible:


A. The borrowers fail to recover all or part of the debt due to dissolution, escape, settlement,

bankruptcy or other reasons.

B. After the collateral and the assets of the principal and subordinate debtors have been priced low

or deducted from the first-order mortgage, they cannot be repaid, the execution costs are close or

may exceed the Bank' s reimbursable amount, and the implementation is not beneficial.

C. The collateral and the property of the principal and subordinate debtors were auctioned off at no

cost and were not bought by anyone, and there was no one have substantial benefits.

D. Overdue loan and non-accrual loan have exceeded the liquidation period for two years.

The bank and its subsidiaries, whose written-off claims may still have ongoing recourse and

continue to follow laws and regulations to pursue the proceedings.

(7) Modification of contractual cash flow of financial assets

The Bank and its subsidiaries may revise the contractual cash flow of the credit asset due to the

borrower's financial difficulties in negotiating, increasing the recovery rate of the borrowers that have

problems, or maintaining the customer relationship. The modification of the contractual terms of the

credit asset may include extending the contract period, modifying the payment time of interest, and

modifying agreement rate and so on. If the contractual cash flow modification of the credit asset is

due to the financial difficulty of the borrower, it is deemed as a impairment of the financial asset. If the

contractual cash flow modification is not due to the financial difficulties of the borrower, the existing or

projected unfavorable changes in the operating, financial or economic conditions under the borrower's

performance or the borrower's ability to make the borrower's ability to perform its debt obligations

vary significantly. The cause of anomalies or other bad debts is supplemented by an assessment of

whether the credit risk of financial assets has increased significantly.

(8) Measuring the expected credit losses

A. Adoption of methods and assumptions

After considering the attributes of financial assets and credit assets and the adequacy of default

experience, internal historical data or the information from external credit rating agency is used to

estimate the Probability of default (PD), Loss given default (LGD) , Exposure at default (EAD) and

other credit risk components.

In order to assess the expected credit losses of credit assets, the Bank and its subsidiaries are

divided into the following combinations depending on the credit risk characteristics such as the

identity of borrowers, products, and type of collateral:

Corporate banking

Government and public institution

Financial institution( including banks, ticket companies, securities finance companies)

Large Enterprise

The guarantee of the credit guarantee mechanism

If the credit risk on a credit asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition or the

credit asset has low credit risk at the reporting date, the Bank and its subsidiaries shall measure

the allowance for impairment using the 12- month expected credit losses; if the credit risk on a

financial instrument has increased significantly or credit-impaired since initial recognition, the

Bank and its subsidiaries shall measure the allowance for impairment using the lifetime expected

credit losses.

In order to measure expected credit losses, the Bank and its subsidiaries considers the default

probability (Probability of default, "PD") of borrowers, and loss given default rate ("LGD")

multiplying the exposure at default ("EAD"), taking into account the time value of money as

well evaluate 12- month and lifetime loss.

Default probability is the default probability of the borrower (default and credit impairment of

financial assets), and the loss given default rate is the rate of loss caused by default by the

borrower. The default probability and default loss rate used in the impairment assessment of the

credit business are based on internal historical information of each group, and adjusted based on

current observable information and forward-looking general economic information.

The Bank and its subsidiaries measures the EAD based on the book value of loans at reporting

date. When estimating the 12-month and lifetime expected credit losses of the loan commitments

and financial guarantee contracts, the definition of the credit risk increasing significantly and

the credit-impaired assets are based on the rules mentioned above. Additionally, in order to

determine the EAD used to calculate expected credit loss of off-balance sheet items, the Bank

and its subsidiaries adopts the credit conversion factor(CCF) of standardized approach in credit

risk which is legislated in the regulation of Proprietary Capital and Risk Capital of Banks.

B. Consideration of forward-looking information

The Bank and its subsidiaries obtains forward-looking information which it takes into consideration

when determining whether the credit risk of financial instruments has increased significantly

since initial recognition and assessing the expected credit losses. The Bank and its subsidiaries

identified the relevant macroeconomic factors for credit risk of each portfolio by analyzing the

historically data. These macroeconomic factors include Taiwan GDP (not seasonally adjusted),

Taiwan's actual industrial production index, Taiwan's annual growth rate of retail sales, Taiwan's

real sales price index, unemployment rate (seasonally adjusted), Cathay National Real Estate

Index (national), Taiwan's real consumer price index (Not seasonally adjusted) and Taiwan's

annual growth in retail sales or other factors. The various economic factors and their impacts on

Probability of Default ("PD") are different depending on the type of financial instruments.

In order to determine the credit risk of investment in debt instruments at amortized cost and at

fair value through other comprehensive income has increased significantly, the Bank and its

subsidiaries uses the changes of external ratings published by international credit rating agencies

as the quantitative indicators, while the assessment of expected credit losses are calculated by

using the external ratings, as well as PD and Loss Given Default("LGD"), published by Moody'

s. Since the international credit rating agencies have already considered the forward-looking

information while evaluating the credit ratings, which the Bank and its subsidiaries considered

to be appropriate after its assessment, the credit ratings will be included in the Bank and its

subsidiaries' assessment of related expected credit losses.

(9) Credit risk hedging or diminishing.

A. Collaterals

The Bank adopts a series of policies and procedures to mitigate credit risk and enhance credit

risk tolerance. The method applied most is to request customers to provide collaterals. The Bank


established collateral accreditation code of conduct in term of collateral management and total

loan amount to regulate the scope of collaterals and the accreditation method and regularly

inspects the collaterals. When the collaterals devaluate or the concern of devaluation occurs, the

Bank shall increase collaterals or retrieve part of the loans to ensure the creditor's right is intact.

B. Limit of credit risk and the control of credit risk concentration

a. In order to avoid the situation that the credit risk of single customer being too high, the

credit limit of an individual, a related party or a related enterprise shall be in conformity

with "Authorization method for subsection 3 of Article 33 of the Banking Act of the Republic

of China" and the credit limit authorization steps are regulated in the Key Points of Credit

Engagement Authorization and the Key Points of Credit Engagement Authorization for

Overseas Branches of the Bank.

b. To enhance the risk concentration management, the Bank established regulations in terms

of countries, financial institutions, industries and group enterprises. The relevant limits are

reviewed and approved annually and the usage of the credit is monitored on a daily basis. In

addition, the results are reported regularly.

C. General agreement of net amount settlement

The transactions of the Bank are mostly settled with gross amount. Part of the transactions

agreed on net amount settlement. When a default occurs, the Bank terminates all the

transactions with the counterparty and settles by net amount to further lower credit risk.

D. Enhancement of other credit

The assessment of credit business apply to credit 5P principles, credit risk is offset by dividing

self-liquidating loan commitments as the main, and set the accounts to master the repayment

of cash flow. Also in terms of the credit agreement stipulates the offset.(i.e. all kinds of deposits,

except prohibition of low or the parties agreement, the Bank can set off all the debts), thus to

reduce the loan amount, shorter loan repayment period or are considered part or all of expiration

of acceleration clauses. To strengthen the protection of creditor and reduce credit risk, using

qualified and effective enhancement, such as the requirement of real property, personal property,

demand deposits, time deposits, securities and the guarantee of financial institution or the

credit guarantee mechanism approved by government.(e.g., Small & Medium Enterprise Credit

Guarantee Fund, Agricultural Credit Guarantee Fund, Overseas Credit Guarantee Fund)

(a) Liquidity risk

(1) The origin and definition of liquidity risk

Liquidity risk refers to the potential financial loss results from the inability to liquidate assets or obtain finance

to fulfill the financial obligation which is going to mature with sufficient fund, such as early rescind of time

deposits, the channels and terms to call loan from other bank are deteriorated due to the influence of specific

markets and the default of loan customers worsen and it is harder for the Bank to receive payments and

liquidate financial instruments. The abovementioned situations may diminish the source of cash for the Bank

to undertake loan business, trades and investment activities. Under some extreme circumstances, the lack

of liquidity may increase the potential possibility of reduction of the overall position of consolidated financial

statement, sale of assets and inability to fulfill loan obligation. Liquidity risk is an inherent risk of bank

operations and is influenced by specific or overall events in various markets. Those events include but not

limited to: Credit event, merger or buyout, systematic strike and natural disaster.

and Liabilities Management Committee on a monthly basis and reports the results of capital liquidity

risk and pressure test to the board of directors quarterly.

the remaining days to maturity and calculate the gap of capital of each time zone in order to measure

the capital deficiency of each time zone.

b. Loan-deposit ratio: To calculate the deposits the Bank received which are used to conduct loan

business. In other words, the percentage of the total loan amount accounts for the total deposit

amount.

c. Capital concentration and stability: In order to prevent the Bank from over- relying on single trade

counterparty, product or market, the Bank observes several aspects such as the changes in large time

deposit customers, the percentage of demand deposits and the continuity of deposits.

d. Pressure test: Except for monitoring the capital demand under normal circumstances, the

Bank conducts pressure test regularly in order to evaluate the capital liquidity under abnormal

circumstances and ensure that the Bank is equipped with sufficient capital.

(D) In 1996, the Bank's World Trade Center Branch was sued for handling a letter of credit export collection

from Chin Seen Industrial Co., which allegedly used a forged export document and failed to ship the goods

to the importer, the Internationale Compagnie de Commercialisation et d' Investissement SPRL (I.C.C.I.) of

the Republic of Zaire, suffered a loss thereon. In November 1998, I.C.C.I. initiated a case with the Court of

Commerce of Brussels in Belgium, requested the L/C opening bank (Banque Bruxelles Lambert, or BBL) and

the Bank to jointly pay compensation of US$7,830 thousands plus interest, losses, and expenses for the L/

C. On August 31, 2005, the Court of Commerce of Brussels rendered its judgment which the Bank has to

make compensation of US$7,674 thousands plus interest to I.C.C.I.. The Bank has engaged a local attorney

in Belgium to formally file an appeal. In February 2011, Court of Appeal in Brussels had made an intermediate

adjudication which I.C.C.I and the Bank are both responsible for the offense. Furthermore, on November

16, 2011, the judgment of the court indicated that the Bank should be responsible for 90% of the negligence

proportion. In terms of the judgment of the court of the second instance, the Bank has filed an appeal on

November 3, 2011. On February 6, 2013, the court overruled the Bank' s appeal and the Bank lost the case.

In October 2016, I.C.C.I initiated a case with the Court of Frankfurt in Germany, applied for seizing the bank

account in Germany, and the bank lodged guaranty money of EUR $13,200 thousands to the court to rescind

the order for attachment. In July 2017, I.C.C.I applied for compulsory execution to the guaranty money, the

court has transferred the guaranty money to I.C.C.I. The Bank filed the lawsuit objecting to the debt but the

court of Frankfurt in Germany overruled the appeal in November 2018. The Bank is filing an appeal. As of

December 31, 2018, the Bank has accrued the compensation of $183,923 and EUR$8,000 thousands.

Ⅵ7. Independent Auditors' Report for 2018 Individual Financial Statements

Independent Auditors' ReportTo the Board of Directors of Taiwan Business Bank, Ltd.:

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Taiwan Business Bank, Ltd. ("the Bank" ) which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Bank as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Held Banks, and the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements of Financial Industry by Certified Public Accountants and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor' s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Bank in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China ("the Code" ), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

1. The assessment of loans impairment

Please refer to Note(4) (E) "Financial Instruments" for related accounting policy, Note 5 (A) for accounting assumptions and estimates, and Note 6 (F) "Discount and loans– net" and Note 6 (AP) "Financial Risk Information" for details of loans impairment, respectively.

The management of the Bank assess its loans to determine the impairment in accordance with IFRS 9. For the credit impaired cases which impairment has occurred since initial recognition, the measurement is based on expected future cash flow. The amount of expected credit loss (ECL) for non-credit impaired cases is evaluated by identifying whether the credit risk has significantly increased at the reporting date. If the credit risk of non-credit impaired cases has not significantly increased, the 12-month expected credit loss should be adopted, if the credit risk of non-credit impaired cases has significantly increased, the lifetime credit loss evaluation should be adopted. Except for the methods mentioned above, the management of the Bank should inspect whether the amount of impairment provision is in compliance with the minimum level required by the authority. Both the future cash flows of credit impaired cases and the main parameters which are used in calculated the non-credit cases, such as probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD), forward- looking factors, and the judgments of whether the credit risk has significantly increased, all involved


significant judgments and estimations. The movement of related parameters will have significant impact on the assessment of loans impairment. Therefore, the assessment on the impairment of loans has been identified as a key audit matters in our audit.

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Our principal audit procedures included: understanding the methodology used by the management to assess the impairment of loans, and performing the relevant control procedures. For the credit impaired assessment, we conducted sampling tests to evaluate the use of the original effective interest rate, the appropriateness of the recoverable amount of expected future cash flows and value of collateral. For non-credit impaired assessment, we assessed the impairment model adopted by the management and reviewed the appropriated of the calculation of the impairment parameters and verified the completeness of the loans portfolio via sampling. Meanwhile, we assessed the impaired amounts recognized by the management were in compliance with the related regulations issued by authority.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Held Banks, and the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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

Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Bank' s financial reporting process.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Bank internal control.

Ⅵ3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting

estimates and related disclosures made by management.

4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Bank's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Bank to cease to continue as a going concern.

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

6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investment in other entities accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on this financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, sueprvision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we detemined those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors' audit report are CHUNG, TAN TAN and LEE, FENG HUI.
