INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

China Bills Finance Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of China Bills Finance Corporation (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 Publicly Held Bills Finance Companies, Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. 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.


Estimated Impairment of Financial Guarantee Contracts

As of December 31, 2025, the Company's estimated reserve for losses on guarantee for the Company's financial guarantee contracts entered into with credit clients was $1,586,500 thousand. In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 9, "Financial Instruments", the Company recognized the reserve for guarantee liabilities based on the assessed and estimated occurrence of expected losses on financial guarantee contracts. In addition, the reserve for guarantee liabilities was calculated and classified in accordance with the "Regulations Governing the Procedures for Bills Finance Companies to Evaluate Assets, Set Aside Loss Reserves, and Handle Non-Performing Credit, Non-Accrual Loans, and Bad Debt" (Regulations Governing the Procedures for Bad Debt) and related regulations.

Please refer to Notes 4, 5, 21 and 38 (g) for relevant information and accounting policy for financial guarantee contracts.

The Company should assess the classification of credit assets and recognize the reserve for guarantee liabilities in accordance with the "Regulations Governing the Procedures for Bad Debt". The assessment and reservation involve subjective judgment and estimates, which will directly affect the related accrued amounts. Thus, the estimated impairment of financial guarantee contracts is deemed to be a key audit matter.

The main audit procedures we performed in response to certain aspects of the key audit matter described above are as follows:

  1. We understood the relevant internal controls about the estimated impairment of reserve for guarantee liabilities of financial guarantee contracts and we tested the effectiveness of the operation of the controls.
  2. We reviewed the management's loss reserves evaluation report of credit assets, checked the completeness of credit assets on the loss reserves evaluation report and evaluated the appropriateness of classification. We also recalculated the amount of reserves for guarantee liabilities shown on the provision for loss reserves evaluation report to confirm the mathematical accuracy of provision for loss reserves.

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 Publicly Held Bills Finance Companies, Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (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 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 Company'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 Company 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 Company's financial reporting process.


Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 Standards on Auditing of 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 the Standards on Auditing of 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 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 Company's 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 Company'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 Company 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.

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.

  • 3 -

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 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 audits resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Kuan-Hao Lee and Yin-Chou Chen.

a) If a financial asset contains a contingent feature that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows and the contingent event itself does not relate directly to changes in basic lending risks and costs (e.g., whether the debtor achieves a contractually specified reduction in carbon emissions), the financial asset has contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding if, and only if,

  • In all possible scenarios (before and after the occurrence of a contingent event), the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding; and
  • In all possible scenarios, the contractual cash flows would not be significantly different from the contractual cash flows on a financial instrument with identical contractual terms, but without such a contingent feature.

b) To clarify that a financial asset has non-recourse features if an entity’s ultimate right to receive cash flows is contractually limited to the cash flows generated by specified assets.

c) To clarify that the characteristics of contractually linked instruments include a prioritization of payments to the holders of financial assets using multiple contractually linked instruments (tranches) established through a waterfall payment structure, resulting in concentrations of credit risk and a disproportionate allocation of cash shortfalls from the underlying pool between the tranches.

2) The amendments to the application guidance of derecognition of financial liabilities

The amendments mainly stipulate that a financial liability is derecognized on the settlement date. However, when settling a financial liability in cash using an electronic payment system, the Group can choose to derecognize the financial liability before the settlement date if, and only if, the Group has initiated a payment instruction that resulted in:

  • The Company having no practical ability to withdraw, stop or cancel the payment instruction;
  • The Company having no practical ability to access the cash to be used for settlement as a result of the payment instruction; and
  • The settlement risk associated with the electronic payment system being insignificant.

An entity shall apply the amendments retrospectively but is not required to restate prior periods. The effect of initially applying the amendments shall be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance at the date of initial application. An entity may restate prior periods if, and only if, it is possible to do so without the use of hindsight.

As of the date the financial statements were authorized for issue, the Company has assessed that the application of other standards and interpretations will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and financial performance.

Note 1: Unless stated otherwise, the above IFRS Accounting Standards are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after their respective effective dates.

Note 2: On September 25, 2025, the FSC announced that IFRS 18 will take effect starting from January 1, 2028. Domestic entities could elect to apply IFRS 18 for an earlier period after the endorsement of IFRS 18 by the FSC.

1) Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture”

The amendments stipulate that, when the Company sells or contributes assets that constitute a business (as defined in IFRS 3) to an associate or joint venture, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized in full. Also, when the Company loses control of a subsidiary that contains a business but retains significant influence or joint control, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized in full.

Conversely, when the Company sells or contributes assets that do not constitute a business to an associate or joint venture, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized only to the extent of the Company’s interest as an unrelated investor in the associate or joint venture, i.e., the Company’s share of the gain or loss is eliminated. Also, when the Company loses control of a subsidiary that does not contain a business but retains significant influence or joint control over an associate or a joint venture, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized only to the extent of the Company’s interest as an unrelated investor in the associate or joint venture, i.e., the Company’s share of the gain or loss is eliminated.

2) IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” and consequential amendments

IFRS 18 will supersede IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. The main changes comprise:

  • To classify items of income and expenses included presented in the statement of profit or loss shall be classified into the operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations categories, the Company shall assess whether it has specified main business activities of investing in particular types of assets and providing financing to customers.
  • The statement of profit or loss shall present totals and subtotals for operating profit or loss, profit or loss before financing and income taxes and profit or loss.

  • 14 -


  • Provides guidance to enhance the requirements of aggregation and disaggregation: The Company shall identify the assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows that arise from individual transactions or other events and shall classify and aggregate them into groups based on shared characteristics, so as to result in the presentation in the primary financial statements of line items that have at least one similar characteristic. The Company shall disaggregate items with dissimilar characteristics in the primary financial statements and in the notes. The Company labels items as “other” only if it cannot find a more informative label.

  • Disclosures on Management-defined Performance Measures (MPMs): When in public communications outside financial statements and communicating to users of financial statements management’s view of an aspect of the financial performance of the Company as a whole, the Company shall disclose related information about its MPMs in a single note to the financial statements, including the description of such measures, calculations, reconciliations to the subtotal or total specified by IFRS Accounting Standards and the income tax and non-controlling interests effects of related reconciliation items.

In addition, the following consequential amendments have been made to IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows”:

  • The Company shall use operating profit or loss as the starting point when presenting cash flows from operating activities under the indirect method.

  • Interest and dividends received by the Company shall be classified as investing activities, while interest and dividends paid shall be classified as financing activities. However, if, after assessment, the Company has a specific main operating activity, it shall determine how to classify dividends received, interest received and interest paid in the statement of cash flows by referring to how it classifies dividend income, interest income and interest expense in the statement of profit or loss. The total of each of these cash flows shall be classified in a single category in the statement of cash flows.

Except for the above impact, as of the date the financial statements were authorized for issue, the Company is continuously assessing other impacts of the above amended standards and interpretations on the Company’s financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.

4. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

Statement of Compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Publicly Held Bills Finance Companies, the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms and the IFRSs endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC.

Basis of Preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments that are measured at fair value, and net defined benefit liabilities (assets) which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.

  • 15 -

The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

a. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets;
b. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
c. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Classification of Current and Non-current Assets and Liabilities

The operating cycle in the bills finance industry cannot be clearly identified; thus, accounts included in the financial statements of the Company were not classified as current or noncurrent. Nevertheless, accounts are properly categorized by the nature of each account and are sequenced by their liquidity.

Foreign Currencies

Monetary transactions in foreign currencies are recognized at the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. On the settlement of the transactions, the gain or loss resulting from the application of exchange rates different from those used on initial recognition are recognized in profit or loss in the settlement period.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits and time deposits with original maturities less than three months. In terms of statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include due from the Central Bank and call loans to banks that meet the definition of cash and cash equivalents in IAS 7 as endorsed by the FSC.

Securities Purchased/Sold Under Resell/Repurchase Agreements

Securities purchased under resell agreements and securities sold under repurchase agreements are treated as collateralized financing transactions. Interest earned on resell agreements or interest incurred on repurchase agreements is recognized on an accrual basis.

In the case of outright sale of government bonds purchased under resell agreements, the Company recognizes on financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss of outright sale, and recognizes the realized gain or loss when government bonds purchased under resell agreements are replenished in the settlement period.

Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

  • 16 -

a. Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

1) Measurement category

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), investments in debt instruments and equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI), and financial assets at amortized cost.

a) Financial asset at FVTPL

Financial asset is classified as at FVTPL when the financial asset is mandatorily classified or it is designated as at FVTPL. Financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL include investments in equity instruments which are not designated as at FVTOCI and debt instruments that do not meet the amortized cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria.

Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, and remeasurement gains or losses on such financial assets (including any dividends or interest earned) are recognized in profit or loss. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 37.

b) Investments in debt instruments at FVTOCI

Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at FVTOCI:

i. The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both the collecting of contractual cash flows and the selling of the financial assets; and

ii. The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Investments in debt instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Changes in the carrying amounts of these debt instruments relating to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest income calculated using the effective interest method and impairment losses or reversals are recognized in profit or loss. Other changes in the carrying amount of these debt instruments are recognized in other comprehensive income and will be reclassified to profit or loss when the investment is disposed of.

c) Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI

On initial recognition, the Company may make an irrevocable election to designate investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI. Designation as at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination.

Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments, instead, they will be transferred to retained earnings.

Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Company's right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.

  • 17 -

d) Financial assets at amortized cost

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:

i. The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
ii. The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables at amortized cost and others, are measured at amortized cost, which equals to the gross carrying amount determined by the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.

Interest revenue is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, except for:

i. Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial asset, for which interest revenue is calculated by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset; and
ii. Financial asset that has subsequently become credit-impaired, for which interest revenue is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset.

A financial asset is credit impaired when one or more of the following events have occurred:

i. Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;
ii. Breach of contract, such as a default;
iii. It is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or undergo a financial reorganization; or
iv. The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.

2) Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including trade receivables), investments in debt instruments that are measured at FVTOCI, as well as contract assets.

The Company always recognizes lifetime Expected Credit Loss (i.e. ECL) for trade receivables. For all other financial instruments, the Company recognizes lifetime ECL when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECL.

Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of a default occurring as the weights. Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

  • 18 -

For internal credit risk management purposes, the Company determines that the following situations indicate that a financial asset is in default (without taking into account any collateral held by the Company):

a) Internal or external information show that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors.

b) When a financial asset is more than 90 days past due unless the Company has reasonable and corroborative information to support a more lagged default criterion.

In addition to evaluating impairment loss of receivables and recognizing allowance or bad debts under IFRS 9, the Company will evaluate impairment loss, under the “Regulations Governing the Procedures for Bills Finance Companies to Evaluate Assets, Set Aside Loss Reserves, and Handle Non-Performing Credit, Non-Accrual Loans, and Bad Debt” issued by the authorities and the Company’s provision procedures, and recognize the higher of allowance of and debts between the above regulations expect.

The Company recognizes an impairment loss and reversal of impairment in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account, except for investments in debt instruments that are measured at FVTOCI, for which the loss allowance is recognized in other comprehensive income and does not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset.

Credits deemed uncollectible may be written off upon approval by the board of directors.

3) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.

On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss. On derecognition of an investment in a debt instrument at FVTOCI, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss. However, on derecognition of an investment in an equity instrument at FVTOCI, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss, and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to retained earnings, without recycling through profit or loss.

b. Equity instruments

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

The repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognized in and deducted directly from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issuance or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.

  • 19 -

c. Financial liabilities

1) Subsequent measurement

Except the following situations, all the financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method:

a) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities are classified as at fair value through profit or loss when the financial liability is either held for trading or it is designated as at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities held for trading are stated at fair value, and remeasurement gains or losses on such financial liabilities (including any dividends or interest paid) are recognized in profit or loss. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 37.

b) Financial guarantee contracts

The Company measures financial guarantee contract issued at the higher of:

i. The amount of the loss allowance determined in accordance with IFRS 9; and
ii. The amount initially recognized less, where appropriate, cumulative amount of income recognized in accordance with IFRS 15.

Besides subsequently measuring financial guarantee contracts at the higher of the abovementioned amounts, assessment is also performed under the "Regulations Governing the Procedures for Bills Finance Companies to Evaluate Assets, Set Aside Loss Reserves, and Handle Non-Performing Credit, Non-Accrual Loans, and Bad Debt" issued by the authorities, and the higher adequacy provision between the above regulations is recognized.

2) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

d. Derivative financial instruments

The Company enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks, including foreign exchange swap contracts, interest rate swaps and convertible bond asset swap contracts.

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss immediately. When the fair value of derivative financial instruments is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; otherwise, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.

Derivatives embedded in hybrid contracts that contain financial asset hosts within the scope of IFRS 9 are not separated; instead, the classification is determined in accordance with the entire hybrid contract. Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts that are not financial assets within the scope of IFRS 9 (e.g. financial liabilities) are treated as separate derivatives when they meet the definition of a derivative, their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not measured at FVTPL.

  • 20 -

e. Modification of financial instruments

When a financial instrument is modified, the Company assesses whether the modification will result in derecognition. If modification of a financial instrument results in derecognition, it is accounted for as derecognition of financial assets or liabilities. If the modification does not result in derecognition, the Company recalculates the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or the amortized cost of the financial liability based on the modified cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate with any modification gain or loss recognized in profit or loss. The cost incurred is adjusted to the carrying amount of the modified financial asset or financial liability and amortized over the modified remaining period.

For the changes in the basis for determining contractual cash flows of financial assets or financial liabilities resulting from the interest rate benchmark reform, the Company elects to apply the practical expedient in which the changes are accounted for by updating the effective interest rate at the time the basis is changed, provided the changes are necessary as a direct consequence of the reform and the new basis is economically equivalent to the previous basis. When multiple changes are made to a financial asset or a financial liability, the Company first applies the practical expedient to those changes required by interest rate benchmark reform, and then applies the requirements of modification of financial instruments to the other changes that cannot apply the practical expedient.

Non-accrual Loans

Under the "Regulations Governing the Procedures for Bills Finance Companies to Evaluate Assets, Set Aside Loss Reserves, and Handle Non-performing Credit, Non-accrual Loans, and Bad Debt" issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission, receivables and the balances of guaranteed and endorsed credits that are unpaid within six months after maturity are transferred to non-accrual loans.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.

Depreciation of property and equipment is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

Impairment of Property and Equipment, Right-of-use Assets and Intangible Assets Other Than Goodwill

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its property and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, for any indication of impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss.

The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount.

  • 21 -

When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the corresponding asset, cash-generating unit or assets related to contract costs is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset, cash-generating unit or assets related to contract costs in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

Provisions

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the discounted cash flows of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.

If the Company is under a contract for which the unavoidable costs of meeting contract obligations exceed the economic benefits expected to be received from the contract, the contract is considered onerous. The present obligations arising under this onerous contract are recognized and related provisions are set made.

Revenue Recognition

Service fee income is recognized when a major part of the earnings process has been completed and cash has been collected. Interest revenues are recorded on an accrual basis.

Dividend income from investments is recognized when the shareholder’s right to receive payment has been established and if it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

Interest revenue from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest revenue is accrued on a timely basis by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.

Leases

At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.

The Company as lessee

The Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the commencement date of a lease, except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases accounted for applying a recognition exemption where lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs needed to restore the underlying assets, and less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the balance sheets.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms.

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, which comprise fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in a lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate.

  • 22 -

Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. When there is a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in a lease term, the Company remeasures the lease liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use assets. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero, any remaining amount of the remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss. Lease liabilities are presented on a separate line in the balance sheets.

Employee and Retirement Benefits

a. Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities recognized on short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related services.

b. Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.

Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under the retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current service cost) and net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) are recognized as employee benefit expenses in the period they occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.

Net defined benefit liability (asset) represents the actual deficit (surplus) in the Company's defined benefit plan. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

a. Current tax

Income tax payable (recoverable) is based on taxable profit (loss) for the year determined according to the applicable tax laws of each tax jurisdiction.

According to the Income Tax Act, an additional tax on unappropriated earnings is provided for in the year the shareholders approve to retain earnings.

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

b. Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary difference to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be used.

  • 23 -

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured using applicable tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

c. Current and deferred taxes

Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, but when these taxes relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, the current and deferred taxes are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

5. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Company's accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The Company considers economic environment implications and inflation and interest rate fluctuations when making its critical accounting estimates on the cash flow projections, growth rate, discount rate, profitability, etc. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revisions affect only that period, or in the period of the revisions and future periods if the revisions affect both current and future periods.

Estimated Impairment of Financial Guarantee Contracts

In accordance with the "Regulations Governing the Procedures for Bills Finance Companies to Evaluate Assets, Set Aside Loss Reserves, and Handle Non-Performing Credit, Non-Accrual Loans, and Bad Debt", the Company's assessment of the adequacy of reserve for guarantee liabilities is focused on whether or not, guarantee liabilities and related cash outflows are likely to occur. Evidence for making such judgment include observable data indicating adverse movement in payment status of the debtor or industry news relevant to the debtor's financial position. The Company periodically reviews judgment factors and assumptions in order to minimize the difference between estimated loss and actual loss.

The Company invests only in debt instruments that are rated the equivalent of investment grade or higher and have low credit risk for the purpose of impairment assessment. The credit rating information is supplied by independent rating agencies. The Company's exposure and the external credit ratings are continuously monitored. The Company reviews changes in bond yields and other public information and makes an assessment whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since the last period to the reporting date.

In order to minimize credit risk, the Company has tasked its credit management committee to develop and maintain a credit risk grading framework to categorize exposures according to the degree of risk of default. The credit rating information may be obtained from independent rating agencies where available and, if not available, the credit management committee uses other publicly available financial information to rate the debtors.


In determining the expected credit losses for debt instrument investments, the Company considers the historical default rates of each credit rating supplied by external rating agencies, the current financial condition of debtors, and industry forecast in estimating 12-month or lifetime expected credit losses.

The Company's current credit risk grading mechanism is as follows:

Category Description Basis for Recognizing Expected Credit Losses (ECLs)
Performing The counterparty has a low risk of default and a strong capacity to meet contractual cash flows 12m ECLs
Doubtful There has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition Lifetime ECLs - not credit-impaired
In default There is evidence indicating the asset is credit-impaired Lifetime ECLs - credit-impaired

The gross carrying amounts of debt instrument investments by credit category were as follows:

22. RETIREMENT BENEFITS PLANS

a. Defined contribution plans

The Company adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (LPA), which is a state-managed defined contribution plan. Under the LPA, the Company makes monthly contributions to employees' individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages.

The total expenses recognized in profit or loss for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 amounted to $9,338 thousand and $9,132 thousand, respectively, were the contributions payable by the Company to the LPA plan at the specified rates.

According to the Company's retirement policies, when the managers meet the criteria stated in the retirement policies, the pension costs payable are calculated based on the total number of years of employment, in accordance with the LPA and Labor Standards Act.

b. Defined benefit plans

The Company adopted the defined benefit plan under the Labor Standard Act, under which pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the six months before retirement. The Company contributes amounts within the range of 15% of total monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee's name. Before the end of each year, the Company assesses the balance in the pension fund. If the pension fund balance is inadequate for the payment of the retirement benefits of employees who will qualify for retirement in the next year, the Company is required to fund the difference through an appropriation that should be made by the end of March of the next year. The pension fund is managed by the Bureau of Labor (the "Bureau") under Ministry of Labor; the Company has no right to influence the Bureau's fund investment policy and strategy.

The amount included in the balance sheet arising from the Company's obligation in respect of its defined benefit plans was as follows:

December 31
2025 2024
Present value of defined benefit obligation $ 163,803 $ 174,368
Fair value of plan assets (200,492) (197,782)
Net defined benefit assets (classified under prepaid pension cost) $ (36,689) $ (23,414)

Movements of the net defined benefit (asset) liability were as follows:

Balance on December 31, 2025 $ 163,803 $ (200,492) $ (36,689)

The Company is exposed to the following risks on its defined benefit plan:

1) Investment risk: The plan assets are invested in domestic and foreign equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is made at the discretion of the Bureau of Labor (BOL) or the BOL's designated investment manager. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return on plan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.

2) Interest risk: A decrease in the government/corporate bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan's debt investments.

3) Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. Thus, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.


The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The significant assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:

December 31
2025 2024
Discount rates 1.375% 1.500%
Expected rates of salary increase 2.500% 2.500%

If there is a possible reasonable change in each of the significant actuarial assumptions and all other assumptions remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase (decrease) as follows:

December 31
2025 2024
Discount rates
0.25% increase $ (2,908) $ (3,202)
0.25% decrease $ 2,986 $ 3,291
Expected rates of salary increase
0.25% increase $ 2,900 $ 3,199
0.25% decrease $ (2,838) $ (3,128)

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation because it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur independently of each other as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

December 31
2025 2024
The expected contributions to the plan for the next year $ 6,456 $ 6,825
The average duration of the defined benefit obligation 7.2 years 7.5 years

$ 16,737 $ 15,222

c. Retained earnings and dividend policy

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation provide that the annual net income, less accumulated losses, should be appropriated as follows:

1) Legal reserve, 30%;
2) Special reserve, if needed; and
3) Dividends.

The shareholders of the Company held their meeting on June 14, 2024, and in that meeting, resolved the amendments to the Company’s Articles. The amendments explicitly stipulate that the Company’s dividends should not be appropriated less than 20% of the aforementioned balance.

The Company’s dividend policy is as follows:

1) The Company distributes a portion of the reserves in accordance with regulations, and the Company cannot distribute dividends if it has no earnings in the current period.
2) The Company is in a fiercely competitive financial industry, and its industrial growth has slowed down. As a result, dividends are distributed not only principally in cash, but also in stock and should be at least 40% of total dividends.
3) The Company has the right to adjust its dividend policy in accordance with economic conditions, industry developments, and the Company’s demand for funds.

Information on the employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors proposed by the Company’s board of directors is referred to in Note 29.

Legal reserve should be appropriated from earnings until the legal reserve equals the Company’s paid-in capital. Legal reserve may be used to offset deficit. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company’s paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

When a special reserve is appropriated for cumulative net debit balance reserves from prior period, the sum of net profit for current period and items other than net profit that are included directly in the unappropriated earnings for current period is used if the prior unappropriated earnings is not sufficient.


The appropriations of earnings for 2024 and 2023 which had been approved in the shareholders' meeting on June 13, 2025 and June 14, 2024, respectively, were as follows:

Appropriation of Earnings Dividends Per Share (NT$)

2024 2023 2024 2023
Legal reserve $ 449,279 $ 421,412
Cash dividends 1,047,509 980,361 $ 0.78 $ 0.73

On February 26, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Company proposed the appropriation of the 2025 earnings and the dividends per share as follows:

Appropriation of Earnings Dividends Per Share (NT$)
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025 For the Year Ended December 31, 2025

36. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

a. Overview

The basic goal of the Company's capital risk management is to maintain the regulatory capital and the capital adequacy ratio based on the minimum requirements of the authorities and the Basel Accords framework. For enhanced risk taking and an efficient and effective resource allocation, the Company evaluates its capital requirement in consideration of the nature of its risks and various risk scenarios.

b. Capital management process

The capital adequacy ratio is maintained by risk management department, fixed income products department and administration department based on the requirements of the authorities, which is reported to the Company's president in the assets and liabilities committee monthly and to the authorities quarterly.

c. Capital adequacy rate

(Unit: %)

Items Year December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024

Ratio of Tier 3 capital to risk-weighted assets (Note) 0.35 0.10
Ratio of common shareholders' equity to total assets (Note) 5.07 5.31

Note: Formulas used were as follows:

1) Capital adequacy ratio = Eligible capital ÷ Risk-weighted assets.
2) The amount of total assets used in the calculation refers to all assets in the balance sheets.
3) The capital adequacy ratios (CARs) should be computed at the end of June and December. The reports of the first-quarter and the third-quarter the CARs disclosed are based on the data of the last preceding period, i.e., the end of December and the end of June, respectively.
4) Eligible capital and risk-weighted assets are calculated under the "Regulations Governing the Capital Adequacy Ratio of Bills Finance Companies" and "Explanation of Methods for Calculating the Eligible Capital and Risk-weighted Assets of Bills Finance Companies."

37. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

a. Definitions of the fair value hierarchy

1) Level 1 - inputs are quoted prices in active markets (for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can assess at the measurement date). Active markets feature all of the following conditions: (i) the products traded in the market are homogeneous, (ii) market participants anytime in the market, and (iii) price information that is available to the public. The investment in listed shares, beneficiary certificates, convertible bonds and derivative instruments with quoted prices in active markets belong to this level.
2) Level 2 - inputs are those other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices). The investments in government bonds, corporate bonds, bank debentures and a part of derivative instruments belong to this level.
3) Level 3 - inputs are not based on observable market data (i.e., unobservable inputs). The investment in a part of a derivative instrument, a hybrid asset and an equity instrument belong to this level.

b. Fair value of financial instruments that are not measured at fair value

Except for the following, financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value, e.g., cash and cash equivalents, receivables, other financial assets, net, accounts payable and other financial liabilities, their carrying amounts as recognized in the financial statements approximate their fair values.

December 31, 2025

Carrying Amount Fair Value
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Financial assets
Investment in debt instruments at amortized cost $ 2,691,954 $ - $ 2,699,552 $ - $ 2,699,552
December 31, 2024
Carrying Amount Fair Value
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Financial assets
Investment in debt instruments at amortized cost $ 2,190,041 $ - $ 2,169,761 $ - $ 2,169,761

The fair value of the financial assets in the Level 2 categories above have been determined in accordance with income approaches based on a discounted cash flow analysis.

c. Valuation techniques and assumptions applied for the purpose of measuring the fair values

Financial instruments refer to quoted market prices for fair value. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair value is determined by using a valuation technique. This valuation methodology is based upon the market parameters to derive the value of the positions and incorporate estimates, as well as assumptions consistent with those generally used by other market participants to price financial instruments.

If the market price quotation from a stock exchange, brokers, underwriters, Industrial Trade Unions, pricing service agencies or competent authorities can be frequently obtained on time, and the price represents the actual and frequent transactions at arm's length, then a financial instrument is deemed to have an active market. If financial instruments do not satisfy the criteria above, they are regarded as not having active market. In general, significant price variance between the purchase price and selling price, or extremely low trading volume are all indicators of an inactive market.

Except for reference to quoted market prices, the fair value of financial instruments may be estimated also through the use of available valuation technique or counterparties. Fair value measured by a valuation technique is estimated by reference to the fair values of other financial instruments with similar terms and characteristics, or by using cash flows discounting method, or using model calculation based on the market information available on the balance sheet date.

Fair values of derivative financial instruments are based on quoted market prices. If quoted market prices are not available, then the fair values are determined by the discounted cash flow method.

Unrealized gain and loss recognized in profit or loss for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 for the assets held on the balance sheet date amounted to net gain of $48,180 thousand and $22,563 thousand, respectively.

4) Quantitative information of Level 3 financial instruments

Level 3 items (those with unobservable inputs) included financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and derivative financial instruments. Level 3 items of the Company contain only one significant unobservable inputs.

The quantitative information of significant unobservable input was as follows:

5) Process for valuation of Level 3 items

The team responsible for financial instrument valuation under the risk management division is responsible for determining fair value based on independent information on the market situation. To confirm the valuation result, the Company periodically reviews the valuation model, conducts back testing, updates valuation model parameters and adjusts each parameter, if necessary.

6) The sensitivity analysis of Level 3 items

The method for measuring the fair value of financial instruments is found to be reasonable. However, measurement parameters are subject to fluctuations or movements. The impact on income and other comprehensive income based on parameter movements was as follows:

Items Inputs Discount Rate Movement: Upward/ Downward Effect on Income Effect on Other Comprehensive Income
Advantages Disadvantages Advantages Disadvantages

Advantages and disadvantages refer to changes in fair value. The fair value was computed by valuation techniques using unobservable parameters in varying degrees. The table above refers to change in fair value as result of a single input. The correlation and variation of inputs were not considered in the table.


e. Transfers of financial assets

Transferred financial assets not derecognized

Most of the transferred financial assets of the Company that were not fully derecognized were securities sold under repurchase agreements. Under the terms of these transfers, the right to the cash flows of the transferred financial assets would be transferred to other entities, and the associated liabilities of the Company's obligation to repurchase the transferred financial assets at a fixed price in the future would be recognized. Since the Company is restricted from using, selling, or pledging the transferred financial assets within the transaction period, and is still exposed to interest rate risks and credit risks on these assets, the transferred financial assets were not fully derecognized.

The financial assets that were not fully derecognized and the associated financial liabilities were as follows:

December 31, 2025

Category of Financial Assets Carrying Amount of Transferred Financial Assets Carrying Amount of Associated Financial Liabilities
Financial assets at FVTPL
Bills sold under repurchase agreements $ 112,285,644 $ 112,474,231

Securities purchase under resell agreements
Bonds sold under repurchase agreements 1,914,275 2,034,377

f. Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities

Certain transactions of the Company covered by enforceable master netting agreements or similar agreements, or under similar repurchase agreements may not meet all offsetting criteria under IFRSs. However, in these transactions, financial liabilities are allowed to be offset against financial assets when any of the counterparties specifies to settle at net amounts. If no counterparty specifies to settle at net amounts, the transactions will be settled at gross amounts instead. One of the counterparties can decide to settle at net amounts if the other party of the transaction defaults.

The tables below present the quantitative information of financial assets and financial liabilities on the balance sheets that had been offset or are covered by enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements.

  1. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

a. Overview

The main goals of risk management, besides meeting the requirements of authorities, are to manage risk assets and liabilities systematically, avoid financial crisis and pursue sustainable development. To attain these goals, the Company runs various risk management systems and promotes a culture toward risk management, with the approval of the board of directors and management. The Company's risk management process covers various aspects of its operations and involves the efficient disclosure and control of operating risks through the implementation of procedures for risk identification, measurement, reporting, handling, and supervision.

b. Risk management framework and process

The board of directors occupies the highest level in the Company's risk management framework and supervises the implementation of risk management procedures. The general manager leads the business risk management and financial asset and liability management committee; the business evaluation committee and investment evaluation committee, which are under the president, deal with market, credit, and operational risks; and the internal auditing office supervises risk control.

The Company's risk management process involves the formulation of risk management policies and the implementation of risk management procedures, which consist of identifying, valuating, monitoring and reporting of risks. The board of directors determines the Company's risk threshold and sets authorization levels on risk acceptance, and the risk management department identifies and monitors various kinds of risks and reports these risks to the management for decision making.

c. Financial risk management policy

1) Credit risk

The Company manages credit quality of bills, bonds, equity investments and derivatives to maintain possible losses and liquidity risk arising from credit risk. The Company prepares a variety of report forms focusing on credit conditions, statics of business, risk exposure, risk management and reports to the management and the authority regularly.

2) Market risk

The Company evaluates market risk factors affecting bills, bonds, equity investments and derivatives for the impact of these factors on the Company's net worth and profit and loss and takes measures to control market risk. The management division summarizes stop-loss control report forms and makes daily reports to the management for ongoing risk supervision. It also summarizes value at risk, conclusions of interest rate stress tests and status of profit and loss on financial assets and gives related updates to the financial asset and liability management committee.

3) Operational risk

The operating, financial and information technology divisions conduct thorough general self-inspections once every six months and special self-inspection every month. The internal auditing office does a routine audit and a special audit at least annually of the operating, financial and information technology divisions and a special audit at least annually of other management divisions, and monitors the improvement of these divisions on the basis of audit results.

  • 56 -

4) Liquidity risk

The fixed return division is in charge of financial gap analysis, and the risk management division is responsible for the daily monitoring of total amounts of liabilities and performing liquidity stress tests regularly to control risk.

d. Resource and definition of risk

1) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to a debtor or a counterparty’s failure to meet contract terms or to repay principal and interest. It includes (a) the issuer default risk arising from the Company’s guaranteeing of bills and from the brokering and trading of bills and bonds, (b) the counterparty default risk on derivatives, and (c) default risk arising from the Company’s own equity investments.

2) Market risk

Market risk pertains to the impact on the Company’s net worth and profit and loss of changes in market factors affecting bills, bonds, equity investments and derivatives.

3) Operational risk

Operational risk refers to additional costs or expenses due to operating or internal management negligence or other reasons.

4) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk pertains to losses the Company may suffer because of failure to finance its operations or to liquidate its assets fast enough to meet matured payment obligations or because of adverse changes in market rates. A liquidity gap occurs when liquid assets are not enough to cover any liabilities incurred by the Company.

e. Hedge policy and supervision

1) Credit risk

The “Loan Review System” is used to monitor debt accounts after the loan approval. In addition, the risk management division and relevant divisions determine the credit limit for each frequent borrower, and this limit is approved by the Company president. These divisions provide credit information periodically on the status of issuers of bonds and shares and guarantors as well as the credit-evaluation of counterparties to commodity derivative transactions so that the Company can measure each credit risk.

2) Market risk

The Company makes hedges against cash flow risks and adverse fluctuations of fair value through single or multiple portfolio hedge instruments to offset the effects of negative interest rate and price changes on the financial assets held by the Company. It uses interest rate swap contracts as hedging instruments and makes hedge effectiveness tests on an ongoing basis.

  • 57 -

  • 58 -

3) Operational risk

Mutual authentication of transactions is applied, i.e., the business division is responsible for authorizing and approving transactions, and the operating division is responsible for processing and recording transactions. In addition, through enhanced employee training, automation of operating processes and establishing standard operating procedures, the Company reduces operational risk effectively.

4) Liquidity risk

The Company has a mechanism for monitoring liquidity. It has also set up a financial gap limit per period, and the fixed return division is responsible for observing this limit. Under an authorized personnel’s approval, the Company takes appropriate measures to ensure payment by a counterparty once the financial gap limit is exceeded. For unexpected liquidity risks, the Company has set up an emergency reaction plan.

f. Expected credit losses calculation

In the assessment of impairment and calculation of expected credit losses, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information (that can be obtained without incurring excessive costs or inputs) about past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. The Company determines at the reporting date whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or whether credit impairment has occurred, and recognizes expected credit losses according to which stage the asset belongs: No significant increase in credit risk or low credit risk at balance sheet date (Stage 1), significant increase in credit risk (Stage 2), and credit impaired (Stage 3).

The definition of each stage and the recognition of expected credit loss are as follows:

Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3
Definition Financial asset which has low credit risk at reporting date, or there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. Credit risk of financial asset has significant increase since initial recognition but not impaired. The credit of financial asset is impaired at reporting date.
Recognition of expected credit loss 12 months expected credit losses The lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) The lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs)

In calculating expected credit losses under IFRS 9, the Company applies key judgment and assumptions as follows:

1) Determination of a significant increase in credit risk after initial recognition

The Company assesses the changes in default risk over the lifetime of credit assets, investments in debt instruments of financial assets at FVTOCI and at amortized cost to determine whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.


a) Credit business

The main indicators of significant increase in credit risk of the Company’s credit business:

i. The repayment of principal and interest has been 1 to 3 months past due.
ii. The debtor only pays interest or initiates debt negotiations.
iii. The debtor was notified as a dishonored account.
iv. The debtor’s loans from other financial institutions have been delayed.
v. The debtor has other records of bad credit.

b) Bonds and bills investments

Indicators that the Company’s bonds and bills investments have significant increase in credit risk are as follows:

i. The repayment including interests is over 30 days.
ii. Domestic currency: Credit rating at reporting date compared to initial recognition, the credit rating has decreased from twA to between twA- and twCCC- or from between twA- and twBBB- to between twBB+ and twCCC-.
iii. Foreign currency: Credit rating at reporting date compared to initial recognition, the credit rating has decreased from Baa3 to between Ba1 and Caa3 or from between Ba1 and Ba3 to between B1 and Caa3.

2) Definition of default and credit-impaired financial assets

a) Credit business

i. The balance of guarantees and endorsement credits has been 3 months overdue.
ii. The debtor’s loans from other financial institutions have been reclassified as overdue loan or written off as bad debt.
iii. The debtor has filed for reorganization and bankruptcy.
iv. The debtor has other records of bad credit.

b) Bonds and bills investments

The Company’s bonds and bills investments with any item below are considered as credit-impaired:

i. The repayment including interests has been 3 months overdue.
ii. The credit is rated as in default at reporting date.
iii. The issuer has filed for the bankruptcy, reorganization or other procedure of debt redemptions.

  • 59 -

3) Write-off policy

Under the “Regulations Governing the Procedures for Bills Finance Companies to Evaluate Assets, Set Aside Loss Reserves, and Handle Non-Performing Credit, Non-Accrual Loans, and Bad Debt”, the credit shall be written off as bad debt after deduction of the estimated recoverable portion:

a) All or part of the debt is unrecoverable due to the dissolution, flight, settlement, bankruptcy or other reason of the debtor.

b) The debt cannot be repaid, or no financial benefit would accrue from execution after deduction of senior mortgages on the collateral and the property of the primary and secondary debtor.

c) Where there are no buyers for the collateral and the property of the primary and secondary debtor after being auctioned at successively lower prices, and their assumption would bring no financial benefit for the bills finance company.

d) More than one year have elapsed since the maturity date of the non-performing or non-accrual credit and collection efforts have failed.

e) Any uncollateralized non-performing or non-accrual credit shall be written off as bad debt within six months after the maturity date, provided that this requirement shall not apply when it can be proven that a claim against the property of the primary or secondary debtor would yield benefit.

4) Measurement of expected credit losses

The model of expected credit losses is composed of probability of default, loss given default, and exposure at default.

a) Credit business

i. Probability of default:

i) Stage 1: Number of declining client in the current year ÷ number of client at the beginning of the year. The average of the current evaluation period is the probability of default since 2015.

ii) Stage 2: Number of default client in the current year ÷ number of Stage 2 client at the beginning of the year. The average of the current evaluation period is the probability of default since 2015. However, under the conservative principle, the higher rate between Stage 1 and Stage 2 will be used to calculate the expected credit losses.

ii. Loss given default (1 - Recovery rate), the way to calculate recovery rate is as follows:

To calculate 5 years recovery rate, the Company uses the effective interest rate (average of issued interest rate in primary market in the current year) to discount the client’s recovery amount who defaulted from 2008.

iii. Exposure at default: The amount of self-guarantee, which is an off balance sheet item and calculated by commercial paper guarantee contracts.

  • 60 -

b) Bonds and bills investments

i. Probability of default: Adopt data of external credit ratings.
ii. Loss given default: Basel of credit risk of internal ratings, the loss given default based on foundation approach.
iii. Exposure at default: Total book cost (including interest receivables).

5) Consideration of forward-looking information

a) Credit business

i. Refer to major message of Market Observation Post System and external credit ratings.
ii. The Company's credit contracts are all within a year, which adequately considered the comprehensive forward-looking information of clients' background, financial situation, operation performance, investment performance, repayment ability, peer comparison, and industry development of internal credit process and internal credit rating.

b) Bonds and bills investments

The rating is forward-looking according to rating criteria refer to institution of external rating.

g. Material financial risk

1) Credit risk

The financial instruments held by the Company may give rise to losses if counterparties fail to meet their contract obligations. Thus, when guaranteeing commercial paper, the Company makes a careful credit evaluation, and if necessary, requires issuers to offer adequate collaterals. Collaterals are often cash, realty, securities or other assets. If counterparties default, the Company may compulsorily execute its rights to claim the collaterals to lower its credit risks effectively. However, in the disclosure of the maximum exposure to credit risks, the fair value of collaterals is not included.

For commercial paper, the Company may need to pay the paper holders on maturity if the issuers default. Thus, the contractual amounts do not represent actual future cash flows.

Assuming that a credit is completely used and the collaterals lose their values, the credit risk amount equals the contract amount, and a maximum exposure risk may arise.

a) The balances of commercial paper guarantee contracts, amounts used of guarantee contracts and ratios of guarantees with collateral, which are considered as off-balance sheet risks of the Company has are as follows:

i. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, guarantees with collateral accounted for 65.04% and 61.95%, respectively, of the total guarantees given by the Company.
ii. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, balances of commercial paper guarantee contracts, which were off-balance sheet risks owned by the Company amounted to $219,663 million and $215,498 million (amounts used of guarantee contracts were $117,479 million and $114,282 million), respectively.

  • 61 -

iii. The maximum exposures to credit risks on balance-sheet assets, without consideration of the related guarantees, approximate the assets' carrying amounts. Refer to notes in the financial statements.

iv. The movements in reserve of guarantee liabilities

The movements in reserve of guarantee liabilities were as follows:

b) Concentration of credit risk

Significant concentration of credit risk occurs when counterparties to financial asset transactions are individuals or a group of individuals engaged in similar activities or activities in the same region, which would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. The check for significant concentration of credit risk includes the nature of a counterparty’s operating activity. Transactions the Company engaged in do not significantly concentrate on the same counterparty or customer.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s concentrations of credit risk arising from guaranteeing commercial paper were as follows (in millions of New Taiwan dollars):

Some financial assets such as cash and cash equivalents, due from Central Bank and call loan to banks, refundable deposits, operating deposits and clearing and settlement funds are regarded as very low credit risk owing to the good credit rating of counterparties. Except for the above, the risk levels of the Company's financial assets were as follows:

i. Low risk: Credit quality and contractual capacity is above average.
ii. Medium risk: Credit quality and contractual capacity is average.
iii. High risk: Credit quality and contractual capacity is lower than average.
iv. Each of these levels has internal and external credit rating equivalents in the following table. The "Risk Level" and "Rating" are not highly associated. This table is used for similarity matrix.

Risk Level Rating
Low risk twAAA to twBBB-
Medium risk twBB+ to twBB
High risk twBB- to twC

2) Market risk

Market risk refers to interest rate risk and fluctuation in shares price risk. The Company weighs market risk mainly by profit and loss analysis, through which profits and losses are evaluated individually on the basis of the nature of financial assets, such as interest rate futures, shares index futures and options. Other financial assets, such as interest rate swaps, convertible bond asset swaps and bond options, are evaluated by their theoretical prices and reference prices published by the authorities. The Company also observes daily the fluctuation of profits and losses on the financial assets. In addition, interest rate risk commodities are reviewed using sensitivity analysis tools which include duration, DV01, etc.

The Company enters into interest rate swap contracts to hedge against the future cash flow risk arising from floating interest rate assets and liabilities, which are exposed to market rate fluctuations, and manages risk from changes in fair value by using factor sensitivity measures. For related information, refer to Note 39.


The sensitivity analysis of interest rate-sensitive commodities assuming a 0.01% fluctuation in market rates is as follows:

December 31, 2025
Financial Asset Face Value Average Duration (Year) Influence to Fair Value Per 0.01 Fluctuation in Market Value
Bills $ 136,952,350 0.1406 $ 1,918
Bonds 118,064,630 3.4963 39,958
December 31, 2024
Financial Asset Face Value Average Duration (Year) Influence to Fair Value Per 0.01 Fluctuation in Market Value
Bills $ 139,126,838 0.1312 $ 1,820
Bonds 108,029,871 3.6145 37,835

3) Liquidity risk

a) There is no liquidity risk arising from non-performance of contractual obligations because capital and working capital are sufficient to cover all the contractual obligations. In addition, liquidity risk is quite low since cash requirement is not material on the maturity dates of derivative financial instruments.

The basic rule for the Company's operating and management activities is to handle assets and liabilities in the order of their maturities, considering the interest-rate and liquidity gap; however, assets and liabilities cannot be completely matched because of the differences in types and uncertainty of transaction terms, and these differences may affect profits and losses. The Company evaluates liquidity by maturity analysis, which is shown in the following table:

3. APPLICATION OF NEW, AMENDED AND REVISED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

The Department application of new, amended and revised standards and interpretations is the same as disclosed in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

4. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

Statement of Compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms and the IFRSs endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC.

Basis of Preparation

The Company’s dual status of securities firm’s segment assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, which be identified and be reasonable attribution of items is the calculation basis.

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments that are measured at fair value.

The fair value measurements are grouped into the following Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree at which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

a. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets;


b. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
c. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Classification of Current and Non-current Assets and Liabilities

Current assets include:

a. Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
b. Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; and
c. Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Current liabilities include:

a. Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
b. Liabilities due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period, even if an agreement to refinance, or to reschedule payments, on a long-term basis is completed after the reporting period and before the consolidated financial statements are authorized for issue; and
c. Liabilities for which the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.

Bonds Purchased/Sold Under Resell/Repurchase Agreements

Bonds purchased under resell agreements and bonds sold under repurchase agreements are treated as collateralized financing transactions. Interest earned on resell agreements or interest incurred on repurchase agreements is recognized on an accrual basis.

Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Department becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

a. Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

  • 95 -

  • 96 -

1) Measurement category

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), investments in debt instruments and equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI), and financial assets at amortized cost.

a) Financial asset at FVTPL

Financial asset is classified as at FVTPL when the financial asset is mandatorily classified, or it is designated as at FVTPL. Financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL include investments in equity instruments which are not designated as at FVTOCI and debt instruments that do not meet the amortized cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria.

Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, and remeasurement gains or losses on such financial assets (including any dividends or interest earned) are recognized in profit or loss.

b) Investments in debt instruments at FVTOCI

Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at FVTOCI:

i. The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both the collecting of contractual cash flows and the selling of the financial assets; and

ii. The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Investments in debt instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Changes in the carrying amounts of these debt instruments relating to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest income calculated using the effective interest method and impairment losses or reversals are recognized in profit or loss. Other changes in the carrying amount of these debt instruments are recognized in other comprehensive income and will be reclassified to profit or loss when the investment is disposed of.

c) Financial assets at amortized cost

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:

i. The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

ii. The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables at amortized cost and others, are measured at amortized cost, which equals to gross carrying amount determined by the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.

Interest revenue is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, except for:

i. Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial asset, for which interest revenue is calculated by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset; and


ii. Financial asset that has subsequently become credit-impaired, for which interest revenue is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset.

2) Impairment of financial assets

The Department recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including trade receivables), investments in debt instruments that are measured at FVTOCI, as well as contract assets.

The Department always recognizes lifetime Expected Credit Loss (i.e. ECL) for trade receivables. For all other financial instruments, the Department recognizes lifetime ECL when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Department measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECL.

Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of a default occurring as the weights. Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

For internal credit risk management purposes, the Department determines that the following situations indicate that a financial asset is in default (without taking into account any collateral held by the Department):

a) Internal or external information shows that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors.

b) When a financial asset is more than 90 days past due unless the Department has reasonable and corroborative information to support a more lagged default criterion.

In addition to evaluating impairment loss of receivables and recognizing allowance or bad debts under IFRS 9, the Department will evaluate impairment loss, under the "Regulations Governing the Procedures for Bills Finance Companies to Evaluate Assets, Set Aside Loss Reserves, and Handle Non-Performing Credit, Non-Accrual Loans, and Bad Debt" issued by the authorities and the Department's provision procedures, and recognize the higher of allowance of and debts between the above regulations expect.

The Department recognizes an impairment loss and reversal of impairment in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account, except for investments in debt instruments that are measured at FVTOCI, for which the loss allowance is recognized in other comprehensive income and does not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset.

Credits deemed uncollectible may be written off upon approval by the board of directors.

3) Derecognition of financial assets

The Department derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.

On the full derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss.

  • 97 -

b. Financial liabilities

1) Subsequent measurement

Except the following situations, all the financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Financial liabilities held for trading are stated at fair value, and remeasurement gains or losses on such financial liabilities are recognized in profit or loss.

2) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

c. Derivative financial instruments

The Department enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks, including foreign exchange swap contracts, interest rate swaps and convertible bond asset swap contracts.

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss immediately. When the fair value of derivative financial instruments is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; otherwise, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.

Derivatives embedded in hybrid contracts that contain financial asset hosts within the scope of IFRS 9 are not separated; instead, the classification is determined in accordance with the entire hybrid contract. Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts that are not financial assets within the scope of IFRS 9 (e.g. financial liabilities) are treated as separate derivatives when they meet the definition of a derivative, their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not measured at FVTPL.

d. Modification of financial instruments

When a financial instrument is modified, the Department assesses whether the modification will result in derecognition. If modification of a financial instrument results in derecognition, it is accounted for as derecognition of financial assets or liabilities. If the modification does not result in derecognition, the Department recalculates the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or the amortized cost of the financial liability based on the modified cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate with any modification gain or loss recognized in profit or loss. The cost incurred is adjusted to the carrying amount of the modified financial asset or financial liability and amortized over the modified remaining period.

For the changes in the basis for determining contractual cash flows of financial assets or financial liabilities resulting from the interest rate benchmark reform, the Department elects to apply the practical expedient in which the changes are accounted for by updating the effective interest rate at the time the basis is changed, provided the changes are necessary as a direct consequence of the reform and the new basis is economically equivalent to the previous basis. When multiple changes are made to a financial asset or a financial liability, the Department first applies the practical expedient to those changes required by interest rate benchmark reform, and then applies the requirements of modification of financial instruments to the other changes that cannot apply the practical expedient.

  • 98 -

  • 99 -

Revenue Recognition

Interest revenues are estimated on an accrual basis.

Interest revenue from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Department and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest revenue is accrued on a timely basis by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.

Employee Benefits

Liabilities recognized on short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.

Taxation

Income tax expense for the period is shared pro rata on gain of reportable segments.

5. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Department’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The Department considers economic environment implications and inflation and interest rate fluctuations when making its critical accounting estimates in cash flow projections, growth rate, discount rate, profitability, etc. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The Department invests only in debt instruments that are rated the equivalent of investment grade or higher and have low credit risk for the purpose of impairment assessment. The credit rating information is supplied by independent rating agencies. The Department's exposure and the external credit ratings are continuously monitored. The Department reviews changes in bond yield and other public information and makes an assessment whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since the last period to the reporting date.


In order to minimize credit risk, the Department has tasked its credit management committee to develop and maintain a credit risk grading framework to categorize exposures according to the degree of risk of default. The credit rating information may be obtained from independent rating agencies where available and, if not available, the credit management committee uses other publicly available financial information to rate the debtors.

In determining the expected credit losses for debt instrument investments, the Department considers the historical default rates of each credit rating supplied by external rating agencies, the current financial condition of debtors, and industry forecast in estimating 12-month or lifetime expected credit losses.

The Department's current credit risk grading mechanism is as follows:

Category Description Basis for Recognizing Expected Credit Losses (ECLs)
Performing The counterparty has a low risk of default and a strong capacity to meet contractual cash flows 12m ECLs
Doubtful There has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition Lifetime ECLs - not credit-impaired
In default There is evidence indicating the asset is credit-impaired Lifetime ECLs - credit-impaired

The gross carrying amounts of debt instrument investments by credit category and the corresponding expected loss rates were as follows:
