Independent Auditor's Report
To stakeholders of The First Insurance Co., Ltd.:
Audit opinion
We have audited the balance sheet of The First Insurance Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity, and cash flow statement for the periods January 1 to December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the accompanying footnotes (including a summary of major accounting policies).
In our opinion, all material disclosures of the financial statements mentioned above were prepared in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Insurance Enterprises, international financial reporting standards approved and published by the Financial Supervisory Commission, the International Accounting Standards and interpretations thereof, and presented a fair view of the financial position of The First Insurance Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and business performance and cash flow for periods January 1 to December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Basis of audit opinion
We have conducted our audits in accordance with "Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants" and the generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities as an auditor under the abovementioned standards will be explained in the Responsibilities paragraph. All relevant personnel of the accounting firm have followed CPA code of ethics and maintained independence from The First Insurance Co., Ltd. when performing their duties. We believe that the evidence obtained provide an adequate and appropriate basis for our opinion.
Key audit issues
Key audit issues are matters that we considered to be the most important, based on professional judgment when auditing the 2020 financial statements of The First Insurance Co., Ltd. These issues have already been addressed when we audited and formed our opinions on the financial statements. Therefore we do not provide opinions separately for individual issues.
Key audit issues concerning the 2020 financial statements of The First Insurance Co., Ltd. are as follows:
Estimation of not reported (NR) and not settled (NS) reserves
The First Insurance Co., Ltd. has an actuarial team that estimates NR/NS reserves based on previous claims and expenses incurred by the various types of insurance, using methods that conform with actuarial principles. The book value of claim reserves (presented as insurance liability) as of December 31, 2020 amounted to NT$2,713,890 thousand, of which NT$671,429 thousand were insurance by not yet reported (IBNR). Because the amount was presented based on the actuarial estimate, any change of assumption or any misjudgment may cause significant changes to profit and loss, and therefore has been listed as a key audit issue for the current year.
For more details on the accounting policy and methodology adopted for claim reserve provisioning, please refer to Note 4(12) and Note 5 of the financial statements. For details on amounts and changes, please refer to Note 38(3) of the financial statements.
- 4 -
We have performed tests to gain insight about the design and execution of various procedures and controls the Company had adopted to estimate NR/NS reserves. In addition, we obtained data on direct claims paid by the First Insurance Co., Ltd., for various insurance categories and retained materials related to actual losses to verify the integrity of data used in the actuarial estimate. In addition, our actuarial experts assisted us in evaluating whether the methodologies and assumptions undertaken to provide for NR/NS reserves were compliant with laws and establishing proprietary models for validating the rationality of the NR/NS reserves provided by the Company.
Responsibilities of the management and governing body to the financial statements
Responsibilities of the management were to prepare and ensure fair presentation of financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Insurance Enterprises, international financial reporting standards approved and published by the Financial Supervisory Commission, the International Accounting Standards and interpretations thereof, and exercise proper internal control practices that are relevant to the preparation of financial statements so that the financial statements are free of material misstatements caused by fraud or error.
The management's responsibilities when preparing financial statements also involved: assessing the ability of The First Insurance Co., Ltd. to operate, disclose information and account for transactions as a going concern unless the management intends to liquidate or cease business operations, or is compelled to do so with no alternative solution.
The governing body of The First Insurance Co., Ltd. (including the Audit Committee) is responsible for supervising the financial reporting process.
Responsibilities of the auditor when auditing financial statements
The purposes of our audit were to obtain reasonable assurance of whether the financial statements were prone to material misstatements caused by fraud or error, and issue a report of our audit opinions. We considered assurance to be reasonable only if it is highly credible. However, audit tasks conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing principles do not necessarily guarantee detection of all material misstatements within the financial statements. Misstatements can be attributed to fraud or error. Misstatements are considered material if the individual amount or aggregate total is reasonably expected to affect economic decisions of the financial statement user.
When conducting audits in accordance with generally accepted audit principles, we exercised judgments and raised doubts as deemed professionally appropriate. We also performed the following tasks as an auditor:
-
Identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement due to fraud or error; designing and executing appropriate responsive measures for the identified risks; and obtaining adequate and appropriate audit evidence to support audit opinions. Fraud may involve conspiracy, forgery, intentional omission, untruthful declaration or breach of internal control, and our audit did not find any material misstatement where the risk of fraud is greater than the risk of error.
-
Developing the required level of understanding on relevant internal controls and designing audit procedures that are appropriate under the prevailing circumstances, but without providing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control system of The First Insurance Co., Ltd.
-
Assessing the appropriateness of accounting policies adopted by the management, and the rationality of accounting estimates and related disclosures made.
-
Forming conclusions regarding the appropriateness of management's decision to account for the business as a going concern, and whether there are doubts or uncertainties about the ability of The First Insurance Co., Ltd. to operate as a going concern, based on the audit evidence obtained. We are bound to remind financial statement users and make related

5 -
disclosures if material uncertainties exist regarding the above-mentioned events or circumstances and amend audit opinions when the disclosures are no longer appropriate. Our conclusions are based upon audit evidence obtained as of the audit report date. However, occurrences of future events or circumstances may still render The First Insurance Co., Ltd. no longer capable of operating as a going concern.
- Assessing the overall presentation, structure and contents of the financial statements (including related footnotes), and whether certain transactions and events are presented appropriately in the financial statements.
We have communicated with the governing body about the scope, timing and significant findings (including significant defects identified in the internal control) of our audit.
We have also provided the governance body with a declaration of independence stating that all relevant personnel of the accounting firm have complied with auditors' professional ethics, and communicated with the governance body on all matters that may affect the auditor's independence (including protection measures).
After communicating with the governance body regarding the 2020 financial statements of The First Insurance Co., Ltd, we have identified the key audit issues. These issues have been addressed in our audit report except for: 1. Certain topics that are prohibited by law from disclosing to the public; or 2. Under extreme circumstances, topics that we decided not to communicate in the audit report because of higher negative impacts they may cause than the benefits they bring to the public interest.

IFRS 17 - "Insurance Contracts" and amendments
Accounting treatment of insurance contracts stated under IFRS 17 will supersede IFRS 4 - "Insurance Contracts." Key amendments to IFRS 17 are as follows:
Level of aggregation for insurance contracts
IFRS 17 requires the Company to identify portfolios of insurance contracts. A portfolio refers to contracts that are subject to similar risks and management. Contracts within a specific product line would be expected to share similar risks and hence would be expected to be in the same portfolio if they are managed together. Each portfolio of insurance contracts issued by the Company shall be divided into a minimum of:
-
(a) A group of contracts that are onerous at initial recognition;
-
(b) A group of contracts that, at initial recognition, have no significant possibility of becoming onerous subsequently; and
-
(c) A group of the remaining contracts in the portfolio.
The Company is not permitted to include contracts issued more than one year apart in the same group, and shall apply appropriate recognition and measurement rules of IFRS 17 for the portfolios it has determined.
Recognition
The Company shall recognize a group of insurance contracts it issues from the earliest of the following:
-
(a) The beginning of coverage start date for the group of contracts;
-
(b) The date when the first payment from a policyholder in the group becomes due; and
-
(c) For a group of onerous contracts, when the group becomes onerous.
Measurement at initial recognition
On initial recognition, the Company shall measure a group of insurance contracts at the total of fulfillment cash flows and contractual service margin. Fulfillment cash flow (“FCF”) comprises future cash flow estimates, adjustments for time value of money (“TVM”) and financial risks associated with future cash flows, and risk adjustments for non-financial risk. Contractual service margin represents unearned profit from a group of insurance contracts that the Company will recognize as it provides services in the future. Unless the group of contracts is onerous, contractual service margin is measured upon initial recognition of a group of insurance contracts at an amount that results in no income or expenses arising from:
-
(a) Initial recognition of FCF;
-
(b) All cash flows originating from the group of contracts as of the given day; and
-
(c) De-recognition of the following items on the initial date of recognition:
-
(i) All cash flow assets acquired from insurance; and
-
(ii) All other assets or liabilities previously recognized on cash flows from the group of contracts.
Subsequent measurement
On subsequent measurement, the carrying amount of a group of insurance contracts at the end of each reporting period shall be the book value sum of the liability for remaining coverage and liability for incurred claims. Liability for remaining coverage includes FCF related to future services, the CSM, and FCF related to past service allocated to the group at that date. If a group of insurance contracts becomes onerous (or more onerous), the loss shall be recognized in profit or loss immediately.
Onerous contracts
- 16 -
An insurance contract is onerous at initial recognition if the amount of FCF allocated to insurance contract plus cash flows previously received and recognized on insurance plus all cash flows arising from the contract at initial recognition result in a net outflow. In which case, the Company shall recognize a loss in profit or loss for the net outflow, so that carrying amount of liability for the group of contracts equals the FCF and that CSM of the group is zero. The CSM cannot increase and no revenue can be recognized, until the onerous amount previously recognized has been reversed in profit or loss.
Premium allocation approach
The Company may simplify measurement for a group of insurance contracts using the Premium Allocation Approach (PAA) if any of the following conditions is met at the inception of the group of insurance contracts:
- (a) The Company reasonably expects that the size of liability for remaining coverage generated from PAA to be a reasonable approximation of the general model, or
(b) The coverage period of each contract in the group is one year or less. Where, at the inception of the group, the Company expects significant variances in the FCF before a claim is incurred that would affect the measurement of liabilities for remaining coverage, such contracts are not eligible for condition (a).
-
When using PAA, the liability for remaining coverage is calculated as:
-
(a) Premiums collected at initial recognition;
-
(b) Less cash flows acquired from all insurance on the given day; and
-
(c) Plus or minus de-recognition of the following items on the date of initial recognition:
-
(i) All cash flow assets acquired from insurance; and
-
(ii) All other assets or liabilities previously recognized on cash flows from the group of contracts.
Subsequently, carrying amount of the liability shall be adjusted for premiums received, amortization of cash flows acquired on insurance, minus the amount recognized as insurance revenue for services rendered in that period, and minus all investment components paid or transferred to the liability for incurred claims.
Investment contracts with a discretionary participation feature
An investment contract with a discretionary participation feature (DPF) is a financial instrument that does not include a transfer of significant insurance risk. These contracts are subject to IFRS 17 only if the Company issues investment contracts with DPF and insurance contracts at the same time.
Modification and derecognition
If the terms of an insurance contract are modified, the Company shall de-recognize the original contract and recognize the modified contract as a new contract if there is a substantive modification that meets any of the specified criteria.
The Company shall de-recognize an insurance contract when it is extinguished or if any substantive modification is made.
Transition
In general, the Company shall fully adopt IFRS 17 on a retrospective basis. However, where it is impracticable to do so, the Company shall have the option of using either the modified retrospective approach or the fair value approach.
Under the modified retrospective approach, the Company shall utilize reasonable and supportable information and maximize the use of information that would have been used to apply a full retrospective approach, but need only use
- 17 -
information available without undue cost or effort. If reasonable and supportable information is unavailable, the Company shall apply the fair value approach instead.
Under the fair value approach, the Company determines CSM at the transition date as the difference between the fair value of a group of insurance contracts at that date and the FCF measured at that date.
Apart from the impacts mentioned above, the Company continues to evaluate how amendments of the above standards and interpretations will affect its financial position and business performance as of the publication date of the financial statements. Outcomes of these assessments will be disclosed once they are concluded.

Summary of significant accounting policies
-
(1) Statement of compliance
This financial report has been prepared in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Insurance Enterprises and FSC-approved IFRSs.
-
(2)
-
Basis of preparation
This financial report has been prepared based on historical cost, except for financial instruments carried at fair value.
Fair value measurement can be rated on a level of 1 to 3 depending on the ease of observation and significance of inputs:
-
Level 1 input: Refers to quotations that can be obtained from an active market (unadjusted) on the measurement date for asset or liability of equivalent nature.
-
Level 2 input: Refers to inputs that can be observed directly (i.e. price) or indirectly (i.e. established from price) for an asset or liability, other than Level 1 quotations.
-
Level 3 input: Refers to inputs that cannot be observed for an asset or liability.
(3) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
-
Due to the distinctive nature of its business activities, the Company does not
-
classify assets and liabilities into current or non-current categories, but instead presents its accounts in the order of relative liquidity.
-
(4) Foreign currencies
Monetary foreign currency accounts are converted using closing exchange rates as of every balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from settlement or translation of monetary accounts are recognized in profit and loss in the year occurred.
Foreign currency-denominated non-monetary items carried at fair value are converted using exchange rates as of the date of fair value assessment; exchange differences are recognized in the current profit and loss. However, items with fair value changes recognized in other comprehensive income shall also have exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income.
Foreign currency-denominated non-monetary items carried at historical cost are converted using exchange rate as of the date of initial transaction. No further re-calculation shall be made.
-
(5) Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are initially recognized at cost, and subsequently
-
presented at cost after accumulated depreciation and impairment.
Each significant part of the property, plants, and equipment is separately depreciated on a straight-line basis over its useful life, except no depreciation is provided for own land. The Company reviews the estimated useful life, residual
- 18 -
value and depreciation method at least once at the end of each year. Impacts of changes in accounting estimates are applied prospectively.
Gains or losses arising from decommissioned property, plant and equipment are calculated as the difference between disposal proceeds and the asset's book value, and are recognized in profit and loss in the year occurred. (6) Investment property
Investment properties are real estate properties held for rental income or capital gain, or both. Investment properties also include land held on hand that the Company has yet to determine their future uses.
Investment properties are initially recognized at cost (including transaction cost) and subsequently presented at cost after accumulated depreciation and impairment. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis.
The difference between the disposal proceeds and book value of decommissioned investment property is recognized in profit and loss. (7) Intangible assets
Intangible assets that are acquired through separate purchase with limited useful life are recognized at cost at initiation, and subsequently presented at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment. Intangible assets are amortized on the straight-line basis over its useful life. The Company reviews the estimated useful life, residual value and method of amortization at least on the last day of each year. It prospectively recognizes the effect of changes in accounting estimates.
The difference between the disposal proceeds and book value of intangible assets removed is recognized in current profit and loss.
- (8) Impairment of property & equipment and intangible assets (except goodwill)
The Company evaluates all property & equipment and intangible assets (except goodwill) for signs of impairment every balance sheet date. Assets that exhibit any sign of impairment will have recoverable amount estimated. If the recoverable amount cannot be estimated on an individual basis, the Company will instead estimate the recoverable amount for the entire cash-generating unit. For shared assets, amortization is allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to individual cash-generating units.
Recoverable amount is the higher between "fair value less selling costs" and the "utilization value." If recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit falls below its book value, the book value of that particular asset/cash-generating unit shall be reduced to the recoverable amount with impairment losses recognized in profit and loss.
When impairment losses are reversed on a later date, the book value of corresponding assets/cash-generating units shall be adjusted upwards to the recoverable amount. However, the increased book value shall not exceed the book value (less amortization or depreciation) of the asset/cash-generating unit before impairment losses were recognized in the first place. Reversal of impairment loss is recognized in profit and loss.
(9)
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized on balance sheet when the Company becomes a party of the contract.
When recognizing financial assets and liabilities at initiation, those that are not designated to be carried at fair value through profit and loss are measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets/liabilities. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the
- 19 -
acquisition or issuance of financial assets/liabilities are recognized in profit and loss at the time incurred.
- Financial assets
Regular transactions of financial asset are recognized on or removed from balance sheet based on principles of trade date accounting.
- (1) Measurement categories
Financial assets held by the Company are distinguished into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, financial assets carried at cost after amortization, debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, and equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income.
A. Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss mainly comprise financial assets that are mandatory to be measured at fair value with fair value changes recognized through profit and loss. Financial assets that are mandatory to be measured at fair value with fair value changes recognized through profit and loss include: equity instruments that the Company has not specified to carry at fair value through other comprehensive income, and debt instruments that do not satisfy the criteria to be carried at cost after amortization or at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are measured at fair value, with gains and losses (including any dividends or interests generated from the financial asset) recognized in profit and loss. See Note 30 for details regarding the fair value method.
B. Financial assets carried at cost after amortization
Financial asset investments that satisfy both the following conditions are carried at cost after amortization:
-
a. The financial asset is held for a specific business model, and the purpose of which is to hold the financial asset and collect contractual cash flow; and
-
b. The contractual terms give rise to cash flows on specific dates, and the cash flows are intended solely to pay principals and interests accruing on outstanding principals.
For financial assets carried at cost after amortization (including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable carried at cost after amortization etc.), the effective interest method is used to determine the book value at initiation. They are subsequently presented net of impairments and amortization. Any gain/loss from currency exchange incurred on these financial assets is recognized through profit and loss.
Except for the two circumstances explained below, interest income is calculated by multiplying the book value of financial asset with effective interest rate:
-
a. Acquisition or creation of credit-impaired financial assets; in which case interest income is calculated by multiplying the cost of financial assets after amortization with credit-adjusted effective interest rate.
-
b. Financial assets that were not credit-impaired at the time of acquisition or origination, but become credit-impaired on a later
-
20 -
date; in which case interest income is calculated by multiplying the cost of financial assets after amortization with the effective interest rate.
Financial assets are considered credit-impaired if the issuer or debtor exhibits major financial distress, default, likely bankruptcy, financial restructuring or any financial difficulty that may render the financial asset no longer available on the active market.
Cash equivalents include time deposits with less than 3 months until maturity that are highly liquid, readily convertible into defined amounts of cash, and less prone to the risk of fair value changes. Cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting the Company's short-term cash commitments.
C. Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income
Debt instrument investments are classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income if they satisfy both the following conditions:
-
a. The financial asset is held for a specific business model, and the purpose of which involves collection of contractual cash flow and resale of the financial asset; and
-
b. The contractual terms give rise to cash flows on specific dates, and the cash flows are intended solely to pay principals and interests accruing on outstanding principals.
Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value. Book value changes that are attributed to interest income (calculated using the effective interest method), gain/loss on currency exchange and provision/reversal of impairment loss are recognized through profit and loss. All other changes are recognized through other comprehensive income and reclassified into profit and loss when the investment is disposed on a later date.
D. Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income
For equity instruments that are neither held for trading nor recognized/received as a consideration for business acquisition, the Company is entitled to an irrevocable option to account them at fair value through other comprehensive income at initial recognition.
Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value; subsequent fair value changes are recognized through other comprehensive income and accumulated under other equity. At the time of disposal, cumulative gains/losses are transferred directly into retained earnings and not reclassified into profit and loss.
Dividends from equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized in profit and loss when the entitlement to receive is confirmed, unless the dividends clearly represent a partial recovery of the investment cost.
(2)
Impairment of financial assets
On each balance sheet day, the Company assesses impairment losses on financial assets carried at cost after amortization (including notes receivable - net and premiums receivable - net) and debt instruments at
- 21 -
fair value through other comprehensive income based on expected credit losses.
Loss provisions on receivables are recognized based on expected credit loss and "Regulation on Asset Valuation, Overdue Collection and Loan Loss Provisioning by Insurance Companies." For other financial assets, the Company first evaluates whether there is significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If there is no significant increase in credit risk, loss provisions are recognized based on 12-month expected credit losses; if there is significant increase in credit risk, loss provisions are recognized based on expected credit losses over the remaining duration.
Expected credit losses represent average credit losses weighed against the risk of default. 12-month expected credit losses represent the amount of credit losses that the financial instrument is likely to incur due to default event in the next 12 months, whereas expected credit losses for the remaining duration represent the amount of credit losses that the financial instrument is likely to incur due to all possible default events for the remaining duration.
All impairment losses on financial assets are recognized with book value adjusted through the allowance account. However, loss provisions on debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized through other comprehensive income and do not reduce their book amount.
- (3) Removal of financial assets
Financial assets can be removed from balance sheet only if all contractual cash flow entitlements have ended, or if the asset has been transferred with virtually all risks and returns assumed by another party.
When a financial asset is removed, the difference between book value and the sum of the consideration received plus any cumulative gains or losses previously recognized under other comprehensive income is recognized in profit and loss.
-
Financial liabilities
-
(1) Subsequent measurements
Financial liabilities are carried at cost after amortization using the effective interest method.
- (2) Removal of financial liabilities
When a financial liability is removed, the difference between book value and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or any additional liabilities borne) is recognized in profit and loss.
- (10) Ceded reinsurance
The Company makes reinsurance arrangements in accordance with insurance regulations and as needed for its business activities in order to limit possible losses arising from exposure to certain risks. For ceded insurance coverage, the Company may not deny its obligations to insured parties on the basis that its reinsurers have failed to fulfill their obligations.
The Company recognizes reinsurance premiums expense for ceded reinsurance coverage depending on the nature of reinsurance contract. The financial reports have been prepared after taking into consideration the policy period, which matches premium revenues. Reinsurance premiums expenses are estimated on each balance
- 22 -
sheet date using rational and systematic methods. All associated revenues (such as: reinsurance commission revenues) are also recognized during the same period. The Company does not defer gains/losses on reinsurance.
Reinsurance reserve assets include: unearned premium reserve, ceded claim reserve and deficiency reserve for ceded coverage. These reserves are made in accordance with Regulations Governing Reserve Provisioning by Insurance Enterprises and terms of the respective reinsurance contracts, and represent the Company's entitlements over the reinsurers.
The Company assesses reinsurance reserve assets, claims recoverable from reinsurers, and reinsurance accounts receivable balances above on a regular basis for signs of impairment or non-recovery. If there is objective evidence to suggest that the Company may be unable to recover all reinsurance contract assets due to occurrence of an event after initial recognition, the Company will recognize cumulative impairments for the recoverable amount that falls short of the book value of the reinsurance reserve assets, provided that impact to the amounts recoverable from reinsurer due to the above event can be measured reliably. Appropriate amounts of doubtful debt are provided for balances of claims recoverable from reinsurers and reinsurance accounts receivable that are no longer deemed recoverable. (11) Acceptance of residual assets and right of subrogation
The Company recognizes entitlement over insurance claims when such claims become certain (highly likely inflow of future economic benefits) and the amount of which can be measured reliably.
(12) Insurance liabilities
The Company provides insurance liabilities for various insurance contracts according to "Regulations Governing Reserve Provisioning by Insurance Enterprises," "Regulations for the Management of the Various Reserves for Compulsory Automobile Liability Insurance," "Enforcement Rules for the Risk Spreading Mechanism of Residential Earthquake Insurance" and "Regulations for the Management of the Various Reserves for Nuclear Risks Insurance by Non-life Insurance Enterprises." All insurance liabilities have been verified by FSC-certified actuaries. The basis of provision for various insurance liabilities is explained below:
- Unearned premium reserve
The Company makes provision of unearned premium reserve for unexpired contracts and existing insurance risks by calculating unexpired risks of each insurance contract. The Company adopts the 24th Method and other methods to provide for and recover unearned premium reserves. 2. Claim reserves
The Company makes claim reserves using actuarial methods based on past experience and payments. The Company makes two different types of claim reserve: Reported but unpaid claims and Unreported claims. The amount of reserve for Reported but unpaid claims is estimated on a case-by-case basis and provided for different insurance categories.
Claim reserves on mandatory automobile liabilities insurance are provided according to "Regulations for the Management of the Various Reserves for Compulsory Automobile Liability Insurance."
- 23 -
Claim reserves on policy-based residential earthquake insurance are provided according to "Enforcement Rules for the Risk Spreading Mechanism of Residential Earthquake Insurance."
Claim reserves on nuclear risks insurance are provided according to "Regulations for the Management of the Various Reserves for Nuclear Risks Insurance by Non-life Insurance Enterprises."
- Special claim reserves
There are two types of special claim reserve: "Special claim reserves for major incidents" and "Special claim reserves for change of risk." Provisions made before January 1, 2011 will continue to be presented as liabilities, whereas new provisions made on and after January 1, 2011 net of income taxes are presented as special reserve under other equity items. Starting from January 1, 2011, offsets or recoveries can be made to special claim reserves that are presented as liabilities. Once the liability has been depleted, the remainder of the offset/recovery net of income taxes can be charged against special claim reserves that are presented under other equity items.
(1) Special claim reserves for major incidents
Special claim reserves for major incidents are provided using the percentages specified by the competent authority.
Any occurrence of government-announced major incident that causes individual insurance companies to pay retained claims amounting to NT$30 million across all insurance categories, and the entire non-life insurance industry to pay claims amounting to NT$2 billion or above across all insurance categories, may be offset against special claim reserves for major incidents.
Insurance companies that have made special claim reserves for major incidents for more than 15 years may devise a reserve recovery system with the involvement of certified actuaries, and implement with the acknowledgment of the competent authority.
- (2) Special claim reserves for change of risk
If the balance of actual claim after offsetting against special claim reserves for major incidents of a particular insurance category is lower than expected claims, the Company shall provide special claim reserves for change of risk on the difference according to rules of the competent authority.
If the balance of actual claim after offsetting against special claim reserves for major incidents of a particular insurance category is higher than expected claims, the Company may offset the difference against special claim reserves for change of risk. If there are insufficient special claim reserves for change of risk to offset a particular insurance category, the Company may offset the excess against special claim reserves for change of risk of other insurance categories. The insurance category and amount of offset shall comply with the rules and are subject to acknowledgment of the competent authority.
The Company shall recover amounts of special claim reserves for change of risk that exceed the requirements imposed by the competent authority per insurance category.
Deficiency reserve
The Company assesses future possible claims and expenses for each category of unexpired contracts and existing insurance risks. If the estimated
- 24 -
claims and expenses exceed unearned premium reserves plus expected premium revenues, a deficiency reserve shall be provided on the difference for that insurance category.
- Liabilities adequacy reserve
With regards to contracts that are subject to liability adequacy test under IFRSs 4, the Company performs adequacy tests for recognized insurance liabilities by estimating future cash flows based on information available on each balance sheet date. Liability adequacy reserves are provided for any shortfalls revealed by the test.
(13) Liability adequacy test On each balance sheet date, the Company follows the practical actuarial principles published by Actuarial Institute of Chinese Taipei to estimate future cash flows of individual insurance contracts. Any shortfall in the book value of recognized insurance liabilities identified from the above is recognized as current expense/loss.
- (14) Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenues according to IFRSs 4 - "Insurance Contracts."
Revenue and acquisition cost of insurance coverage:
For direct written coverage, premium revenues are recognized on all underwritten and modified coverage approved in the current period. For assumed reinsurance coverage, reinsurance premium revenues are recognized based on the invoice delivery date. Reinsurance premium revenues accruing as of the balance sheet date are estimated using rational and systematic methods. All associated acquisition costs (e.g.: commission expense, agency charge, fee and reinsurance commission expense) are recognized in the period incurred and not deferred.
The Company makes provision of unearned premium reserve for unexpired contracts and existing insurance risks by calculating unexpired risks of each insurance contract.
Unearned premium reserves on mandatory automobile liabilities insurance are provided according to "Regulations for the Management of the Various Reserves for Compulsory Automobile Liability Insurance."
Unearned premium reserves on residential earthquake insurance are provided according to "Enforcement Rules for the Risk Spreading Mechanism of Residential Earthquake Insurance."
Unearned premium reserves on nuclear risks insurance are provided according to "Regulations for the Management of the Various Reserves for Nuclear Risks Insurance by Non-life Insurance Enterprises."
Methods for providing unearned premium reserves are determined by actuarial personnel for the various types of insurance coverage, unless otherwise regulated by law (no change can be made without the authority's approval). The amount of unearned premium reserve is subject to verification and certification by actuarial personnel.
Taxes on insurance revenues are recognized on an accrual basis according to the Value-added and Non-value-added Business Tax Act, the Stamp Tax Act and relevant regulations.
(15) Cost of insurance claims
For direct written coverage, the cost of insurance claims comprises claims payments (including claim-related expenses) incurred and approved in the current period. Amounts that have been ascertained by the claims department but not yet paid by the accounting/finance department and amounts that are not yet ascertained
- 25 -
by the claims department are estimated on a case-by-case basis for each insurance category, and recognized as the net change in reported but unpaid claim reserves.
For assumed reinsurance coverage, claims payable to reinsurers are recognized based on the invoice delivery date. Reinsurance claims payable accruing as of the balance sheet date are estimated using rational and systematic methods and recognized as the net change in claim reserves.
For direct written and assumed reinsurance coverage, the amount of unreported insurance claims is calculated category-by-category based on previous claims and expenses using actuarial methods, and recognized as net change in unreported claim reserves.
With regards to claims recoverable from reinsurers on ceded reinsurance coverage, any claims (including claim-related expenses) received are recognized as claims recovered from reinsurers, whereas unpaid and unreported claims (including claim-related expenses) are recognized as net change in claim reserves.
The Company does not apply discounting when calculating claim reserves.
Claim reserves on mandatory automobile liabilities insurance are provided according to "Regulations for the Management of the Various Reserves for Compulsory Automobile Liability Insurance."
Claim reserves on residential earthquake insurance are provided according to "Enforcement Rules for the Risk Spreading Mechanism of Residential Earthquake Insurance."
Claim reserves on nuclear risks insurance are provided according to "Regulations for the Management of the Various Reserves for Nuclear Risks Insurance by Non-life Insurance Enterprises." (16) Leases The Company evaluates whether a contract meets the criteria of (or contains arrangements characterized as) lease on the day of establishment.
- Where the Company is the lessor
All other lease arrangements are classified as operating lease.
In an operating lease arrangement, the amount of proceeds received net of incentives are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the lease tenor. All initial direct costs incurred in relation to the establishment of operating lease are added to the book value of the underlying asset, and recognized as expenses using the straight-line basis over the lease tenor.
- Where the Company is the lessee
The Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities from the lease start date for each lease arrangement, except for exempted low-value and short-term leases where expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease tenor.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost at initiation (including the initial amount of lease liability, lease payments made before the lease start date less the amount of lease incentives received, initial direct cost and estimated cost of recovery for the underlying asset), and subsequently at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment with adjustments made to the remeasurement account for lease liability.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis from the lease start date until the end of useful life or until expiry of the lease tenor, whichever the earlier.
Lease liabilities are carried at the present value of lease payments. Lease payments are discounted at the implicit interest rate if it can be determined
- 26 -
easily. If the interest rate cannot be determined easily, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate is used instead.
Subsequently, lease liability is carried at cost after amortization using the effective interest method, whereas interest expense is amortized over the lease tenor. If there is any change to the lease tenor or to the index or fee rate relevant for determining lease payment, the Company will remeasure its lease liabilities and make corresponding adjustments to right-of-use asset. If, however, the book value of right-of-use asset has already been reduced to zero, any subsequent remeasurements are recognized through income statement. With respect to the lease modification not presented as the lease individually, the lease liability remeasurement resulting from the decrease in the scope of lease decreased the right-of-use assets and recognized the gain or loss from termination of the lease in part or in whole, while the lease liability remeasurement resulting from other modifications adjusted the right-of-use assets only. Lease liabilities are presented individually on the standalone balance sheet.
-
(17) Employee benefits
-
Short-term employee benefit
Liabilities associated with short-term employee benefits are measured at non-discounted amount of cash that the Company expects to pay in exchange for employees' service.
- Retirement benefits
For defined contribution plans, the amount of contributions made to pension funds over the duration of employees' service are recognized as current period expenses.
For defined benefit plans, the cost of benefit (including service cost, net interest and effect of remeasurement) is estimated using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Service costs (including current service costs) and net interests on net defined benefit plan liabilities are recognized as employee welfare expense at the time incurred or whenever the plan is amended, curtailed or repaid. Effects of remeasurement (including actuarial gains/losses, change in plan asset limits, and return on plan assets net of interest) are recognized under other comprehensive income and added to retained earnings at the time of occurrence. This amount is not reclassified into profit and loss in subsequent periods.
Net defined benefit plan liabilities represent the shortfall of contributions made to the defined benefit plan.
- (18) Income tax
Income tax expense represents the sum of current income tax and deferred income tax.
- Current income tax
The current income tax payable is calculated based on the taxable income of the current period. The taxable income may differ from pre-tax profit presented in the statement of comprehensive income because some of the gains, expenses and losses are taxable or deductible in other years, while some are tax-exempted or eligible for tax deductions. The Company's current income tax liabilities are calculated using the tax rate applicable as of the balance sheet date.
- 27 -
The Company determines the current gain (loss) in accordance with the laws and regulations formulated in the jurisdiction where the income tax return is filed and, with this as a basis, calculate the income tax payable (receivable).
The additional income tax on undistributed earnings calculated according to the Income Tax Act of the Republic of China is recognized in the year when the related resolution is made at the shareholders’ meeting.
Adjustments to income taxes reported in previous years are recognized as income tax expenses in the period the adjustment is made. 2. Deferred income tax
Deferred income taxes are tax effects of temporary differences, given rise by the different book value of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statement and those reported for tax filing. Tax impacts arising from taxable temporary differences are recognized as deferred income tax liabilities; deferred income tax assets are recognized under the condition that the Company is very likely to generate taxable income to realize them in the future.
Book value of deferred income tax asset is re-assessed on every balance sheet date. The Company will reduce book value if it is not highly likely to generate enough taxable income to realize part or all of the assets. Temporary differences that were not initially recognized as deferred income tax assets are also subject to re-assessment on every balance sheet date. These differences may be recognized to increase the book value of deferred income tax asset if the Company considers it highly likely to generate taxable income for full or partial recovery of such asset.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are estimated using expected tax rate applicable at the time the liability/asset is expected to be settled/realized. This expected tax rate is determined based on the tax rate and tax laws prevailing as of the balance sheet date. Deferred income tax liabilities and assets represent tax impacts of the method by which the Company expects to recover/settle the book value of its assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date.
- Current and deferred income tax for the year
Current and deferred income taxes are recognized in profit and loss, except in cases where items giving rise to the difference are recognized under other comprehensive income; in which case, both current and deferred income taxes shall also be recognized under other comprehensive income.
(19) Coinsurance organization, coinsurance and guarantee fund arrangements
- Coinsurance contract for mandatory automobile liabilities insurance
The Company has signed a "Mandatory Automobile Liabilities Coinsurance Contract" with all peers that have been approved by the competent authority to engage in mandatory automobile liabilities insurance service. The contract requires all underwritten mandatory automobile liabilities insurance coverage to be subject to coinsurance. Violators will be subject to default penalty, and all contract participants have agreed to auditing by representatives of the coinsurance team. Assumed coinsurance coverage is calculated on a pure premium basis, and allocated at the agreed coinsurance percentage. Coinsurance participants may not exit the arrangement unless due to liquidation or business cessation. Participants will automatically exit the coinsurance arrangement if they stop providing automobile liabilities insurance service. In which case, natural expiry shall apply to unexpired liabilities.
-
28 -
-
Coinsurance contract for residential earthquake insurance
The Company and all industry peers approved by the competent authority to engage in residential fire insurance service have been granted membership to the Residential Earthquake Insurance Fund (Earthquake Insurance Fund), a coinsurance organization. The members have jointly established a "Residential Earthquake Coinsurance Contract" requiring all underwritten residential earthquake insurance coverage to be subject to coinsurance. All contract participants have agreed to audit by representatives of the coinsurance team. Assumed coinsurance coverage is calculated on a pure premium basis; participants bear coinsurance liability for the coverage they assume individually, and are not jointly responsible for the liabilities of others. Participants may exit the coinsurance arrangement by notifying the Earthquake Insurance Fund 3 months before commencement of the next policy year. Exited participants will continue to assume existing shared liabilities until the end of the current year, and shared liabilities outstanding thereafter will be transferred to other coinsurance members. Members shall notify the Earthquake Insurance Fund to withdraw from coinsurance if dissolved due to winding up, dissolution, or business combination. In such case, all assumed coverage remaining in the current year will be transferred to other members of the coinsurance organization starting from the date of winding up/dissolution/business combination announced by the competent authority. The coinsurance organization will convene meetings to discuss the method of transfer. For members that withdraw from the coinsurance due to business combination, any assumed coverage remaining in the current year will be undertaken by surviving companies.
5. Sources of uncertainty to significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions
When applying accounting policies, the management is required to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions based on historical experience or other relevant factors in situations where information cannot be easily obtained from available sources. The actual outcome may differ from initial estimates.
The Company deems the effect of the COVID-19 on the economy as a consideration of significant accounting estimates. The management will continue to review the estimates and basic assumptions. If a revision of accounting estimate affects only the current period, the effect shall be recognized only for the current period. If a revision of accounting estimate affects current and future periods, the effect shall also be recognized for current and future periods. Insurance liabilities from insurance contracts
Claim reserves arising from insurance contracts are estimated on each balance sheet date according to insurance regulations. These amounts are verified by FSC-certified actuaries, but due to the estimations involved, the actual amount of liability may be higher or lower than the amount estimated.

Claims recoverable from reinsurers and reinsurance accounts receivable are presented under reinsurance contract assets. Please refer to Notes 14 and 38(1) for details on insurance contract receivables. (2) Notes, premiums and other receivables
- 33 -
The Company evaluates customers' credit risk based on historical transaction records and customers' financial position. The Company monitors credit risk exposure and dealings with counterparties on an ongoing basis.
The Company makes loss provisions based on the counterpart's previous payment records, financial position, aging analysis and estimation of the unrecoverable amount. Recoverability of receivables and loans is assessed regularly on an item-by-item basis according to "Regulation on Asset Valuation, Overdue Collection and Loan Loss Provisioning by Insurance Companies" and rules concerning expected credit loss stated in IFRS 9; the higher of the two amounts derived above is determined as loss provision.
If there is evidence to suggest that the counterparty is undergoing severe financial crisis and the recoverable amount cannot be reasonably estimated, such as the case of liquidation, the Company will directly offset loss provisions against accounts receivable. In which case, the Company will continue collection efforts on the receivables, and any amounts recovered will be recognized through profit and loss.
The Company takes into account customer's default history and current financial position and industry prospect. Since the Company's credit loss history showed no significant difference in loss pattern across customer groups, the loss rate is not further distinguished between customer groups, and the expected credit loss rate is simply determined as a function of historical average loss rate and historical default rate.

The Company's investment property as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, amounted to NT$2,672,453 thousand and NT$2,747,898 thousand, respectively. Fair value was determined by the Company's management based on actual transaction prices of properties near the investment in the one year dating back from the financial reporting date, as published on the website of the Department of Land Administration, Ministry of the Interior. The management had decided to use level 3 fair value input, and take the lowest or a range of prices transacted near the invested properties.
Investment properties are leased for 1 to 10 years. All operating lease agreements contain clauses that enable the lessor to adjust rent according to the market rate if the lessee chooses to renew lease at the end of the lease tenor. The lessees are not entitled any privileges to purchase the leased properties at the end of the lease period.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has severely impacted economic activities in 2020, and the Company agreed to reduce rent by a total of NT$1,732,000 between January and September 2020 on some leases. Based on assessment, the above reduction does not pose any material impact on the Company's ability to operate as a going concern, give rise to any additional asset impairment, or raise financing risk.
The sum of lease payments collectible on investment properties leased out through operating lease as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:

The Company is exposed to the following risks due to adoption of pension scheme introduced under the "Labor Standards Act":
-
Investment risks: The Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor, manages the labor pension fund either on its own or by engaging outside parties. The labor pension fund is being allocated into equity securities, debt securities and bank deposits local and abroad; however, the Company estimates return on plan assets at a rate no less than the 2-year time deposit rate offered by local banks.
-
Interest rate risk: A decrease in government/corporate bond yield would increase the present value of defined benefit obligations while at the same time increase the return of plan assets invested in debt instruments. The overall effect on net defined benefit obligation is partially offset.
-
47 -
-
Salary risk: The present value of defined benefit obligations is calculated by taking into consideration the participants' future salary levels. An increase in salary level would raise the present value of defined benefit obligations.
The present value of defined benefit obligations is determined based on actuarial estimates made by certified actuaries. Below are the main assumptions used on the date of measurement:
| on the date of measurement: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate Long-term average salary adjustment |
December 31,2020 0.500% 2.000% |
December 31,2019 |
| 0.750% 2.000% |
A reasonable change in the main actuarial assumption would increase (decrease) the present value of defined benefit obligations by the following amounts, provided that all other assumptions remain unchanged:
| Discount rate Increase by 0.25% Decrease by 0.25% Expected salary increase Increase by 0.25% Decrease by 0.25% |
December 31,2020 ($ 12,022) $ 12,430 $ 12,031 ($ 11,699) |

| ( | ( | $ 12,927) $ 13,379 $ 12,979 $ 12,607) |
|
| ( | ( |
The sensitivity analysis above was prepared by changing one actuarial assumption while holding other actuarial assumptions unchanged. Changes in the present value of defined benefit obligations are also measured using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Methodology and assumption of current period's sensitivity analysis are consistent and unchanged compared to those of the previous period.

All issued common shares have a face value of NT$10 per share. Each share is entitled to one voting right and the right to receive dividends. Retained earnings and dividend policy
According to the earnings appropriation policy of the Articles of Incorporation: Annual surpluses concluded by the Company are first subject to taxation and reimbursement of previous losses, followed by a 20% provision or reversal of special reserve as required by the authority. The Company may retain an appropriate amount of earnings before distributing the remainder to shareholders as dividends. Refer to Note 25(3) - Employee and director remuneration for the Company's employee and director remuneration policy outlined in the Articles of Incorporation.
In addition to complying with requirements of the Insurance Act (see Note 29), the Company's dividend decisions involve several factors, including the current business environment and growth stage, its future capital requirements and long-term financial plan, and shareholders' needs for cash flow. Payment of cash dividends shall amount to no less than 10% of total dividends.
The Company shall continue providing for legal reserve until the balance equals its paid-up capital. Legal reserves can be taken to offset previous losses. The Company is permitted under Article 241 of the Company Act to distribute legal reserves that it had previously provided according to Article 145-1 of the Insurance Act back to shareholders at the existing shareholding percentage, when the Company has no cumulative losses outstanding. To do so, the Company is required to present documentary proof of its financial position and seek permission from the competent authority before a shareholder meeting in the manners outlined in Letter Jin-Guan-Bao-Cai-Zi No. 10202501991 dated February 8, 2013.
Provision and reversal of special reserves are performed in accordance with Letter Jin-Guan-Bao-Cai-Zi No. 10102508861, Letter Jin-Guan-Bao-Cai-Zi No. 10502066461, and "Q&A on Special Reserves Treatment after IFRSs Adoption" issued by the authority. If other contra equity items are reversed on a later date, the Company may distribute the amount of reversal back to shareholders.

Note 1: According to "Regulations Governing Reserve Provisioning by Insurance Enterprises," insurance enterprises are required to make new provisions of special claim reserve for major incidents and change of risk and add them to special earnings reserve at the end of each year, starting from January 1, 2011. As a result, this portion of earnings is unavailable for distribution or other purpose. New provisions amounting to NT$207,452 thousand for 2019 had been made and accounted on December 31, 2019.

Note 3: The Company has been making new provisions to special claim reserves for major incidents and change of risk on a yearly basis since January 1, 2011 according to "Regulations Governing Reserve Provisioning by Insurance Enterprises." New provisions made in 2020 amounted to NT$NT$178,228 thousand, and had already been accounted for on December 31, 2020 in compliance with the above policy.

(3) Special reserve (including the provision of special reserve required for first-time adoption of IFRSs)

Details of special reserve made for first-time adoption of IFRSs:
| Special reserve | December 31,2020 $ 51,849 |
December 31,2019 |
|---|---|---|
| $ 51,849 |
Because the amount of increase in retained earnings after first-time adoption of IFRSs was relatively low, the Company only provided for special reserve on the NT$51,849 thousand increase in retained earnings that occurred following the adoption of IFRSs.
This special reserve can be reversed proportionally back into retained earnings and distributed to shareholders when the underlying assets are used, disposed or reclassified on a later date. Special reserves provided during first-time adoption of IFRSs can be used to offset losses in subsequent years. If the Company makes earnings in subsequent years at a time when the initial reason for providing special reserves no longer exists, the Company shall make up for the required amount of special reserve before distributing earnings.
In order to support the development of financial technologies and protect the interests of employees, the Company is required to make provisions totaling 0.5% to 1% of after-tax net income to special reserves when distributing earnings between 2016 and 2018. Starting from 2017, the Company may reverse the above special reserve for amounts incurred on the transfer or reassignment of employees that are related to development of financial technology.

According to the Articles of Incorporation, the Company may provide employee remuneration at no less than 1% and director remuneration at no higher than 0.6% of pre-tax profit before employee and director remuneration. However, earnings must first be taken to offset cumulative losses, if any, before the remainder is distributed as employee and director remuneration in the above percentages. Employee remuneration and director remuneration were estimated respectively at 1% and 0.6% of pre-tax profit, respectively, namely NT$2,093 thousand and NT$1,256 thousand in 2020, and also at 1% and 0.6% of said pre-tax profit, namely NT$6,744 thousand and NT$4,046 thousand in 2019, respectively. All have expensed in statements and implemented comprehensive income for the respective year.
If the amount changes after the financial statements are approved and announced to the public, the difference will be treated as a change in accounting estimate and recognized as a gain or loss in the following year.

If the Company has the option to distribute employee remuneration either in cash or in shares, then the calculation of diluted earnings per share shall be made by assuming full share-based payment. In which case, the number of potential common shares is added to the calculation of weighted-average outstanding shares as soon as they become dilutive, and this is the basis used for calculating diluted earnings per share. Dilutive effects of potential common shares will continue to be taken into account when calculating diluted EPS for next year's decision of share-based employee remuneration. 28.

Level 3 fair value measurement technique and input
-
(1) For investments in domestic unlisted shares, fair value is calculated using the market comparable model. The market comparable model compares the subject to companies involved in the same or similar business activities. Factors such as the price of shares transacted in active market, the value multiples implied in pricing, and liquidity discount are used to determine the value of the subject. Liquidity premium/discount is a significant yet unobservable input.
-
(2) Bond investment - bank debentures are valued by calculating the present value of expected yields from the investment, which involves discounting of future expected cash flow. Future expected cash flow is a significant yet unobservable input.

For the purpose of establishing sound risk management practice, internal risk awareness, and robust risk management framework, the Company has implemented relevant principles and policies along with qualitative and quantitative methods to assess, respond and monitor potential risks. The Company's financial instruments mainly comprise equity and debt investments, receivables and payables. Key risk exposures include market risk (including exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
- Market risk
Market risk refers to changes in market risk factors such as exchange rate, product price, interest rate, share price etc that may reduce the Company's

profitability or portfolio value. The Company continues to adopt Value at Risk (VaR), stress test and market risk management tools to effectively measure, monitor and manage market risks.
There is no change in how the Company manages and assesses market risk exposure of its financial instruments.
- (1) Exchange rate risk

Sensitivity analysis
The Company is prone to the impact of changes in USD and CNY exchange rates.
The following sensitivity analysis shows the impact of a 1% strengthening/weakening in the foreign currency against NTD (the functional currency) to the Company. 1% is the rate of sensitivity adopted by the management when reporting exchange rate risks. It also represents the management's estimate on the reasonable range of exchange rate variation. The sensitivity analysis only covered monetary items denominated in foreign currency, and the analysis was performed by making a 1% adjustment to the exchange rate applicable at the end of the period. The sensitivity analysis covered foreign currency bank deposit, other financial assets, and notes receivable. The following table shows a decrease in pre-tax profit and equity if NTD strengthens against other currencies by 1%. Effects on pre-tax profit and equity following a 1% weakening of the NTD against the respective foreign currencies would be the positive figure of the same amount.

(2) Interest rate risk
The book value of financial assets exposed to interest rate risks as at the balance sheet date is presented below:
December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Risk of cash flow changes due to interest rate - Financial assets $ 834,514 $ 777,511 Risk of fair value changes due to interest rate - Financial assets 1,075,242 1,027,166
Sensitivity analysis
The following sensitivity analysis has been prepared based on interest rate risk exposures of financial assets as at the balance sheet date. The Company had conducted the sensitivity analysis based on 1 basis-point increase/decrease in interest rate, which also represents the management's estimate on the reasonable range of interest rate variation.
- 63 -
A. Risk of cash flow changes due to interest rate
If the interest rate increased/decreased by 1 basis point, the Company's 2020 and 2019 pre-tax profit and equity would increase/decrease by NT$83 thousand and NT$78 thousand, respectively, provided that all other variables remain unchanged. Exposure to interest rate risk is mainly attributed to bank deposits (demand deposits and foreign currency deposits) held on hand. B. Risk of fair value changes due to interest rate
The Company investments in fixed rate bonds. Changes in market interest rates would cause changes in the fair value of bond investments.
If market interest rate increased/decreased by 1 basis point, other comprehensive income (pre-tax) and shareholders' equity for 2020 and 2019 would decrease/increase by NT$1,242 thousand and NT$1,229 thousand, respectively, due to changes in the fair value of debt instruments carried at fair value through other comprehensive income. (3) Other price risks
The Company is exposed to the risk of equity price variation due to investment in TWSE/TPEx-listed beneficiary securities and fund beneficiary certificates. Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis is based on equity price risks of beneficiary securities and fund beneficiary certificates outstanding as at the balance sheet date.
If prices increased/decreased by 1%, pre-tax profit or loss and shareholders' equity for 2020 and 2019 would increase/decrease by NT$19,403 thousand and NT$15,945 thousand, respectively, due to changes in the fair value of financial assets carried at fair value through profit and loss. Meanwhile, other comprehensive income (pre-tax) and shareholders' equity for 2020 and 2019 would increase/decrease by NT$24,579 thousand and NT$26,764 thousand, respectively, due to changes in the fair value of equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
(4)
Value at risk (VaR)
VaR measures the maximum possible losses that a portfolio may incur due to a change in market risk factor, within a specified period of time and Confidence Level. The Company currently calculates VaR of the following day (2 months) at a 95% confidence level.
The VaR model must be able to reasonably, completely and correctly assess maximum potential risks of financial instruments or investment portfolios held on hand to be considered a valid risk management model. When used for risk management, the VaR model must continuously undergo validation and back-testing to ensure that the model remains appropriate and effective in assessing the maximum potential risks of financial instruments or investment portfolios held on hand.
(5) Stress-testing
In addition to the VaR model, the Company conducts stress tests regularly to assess potential risks should an extreme event occur. Stress-testing is intended to measure potential impacts on the value of

C. Criteria for significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition
A significant increase in credit risk refers to the situation where the credit rating of a financial asset on the balance sheet date is two grades lower or more than the date of initial recognition, and lower than twBBB. For bonds that are not credit-rated, the issuer's credit rating is used instead.
D. Definition of defaulted and credit-impaired financial assets
The Company assesses financial assets for objective evidence of credit impairment. If there is evidence to suggest impairment, the financial asset will be classified Class III with expected credit losses recognized over the remaining duration.
Objective evidence of credit impairment, as mentioned above, refers to any of the following occurrences:
-
a. The indicative market price falls below book cost in a continuous downward trend for more than one year, unless there is reason to suggest likely recovery of the indicative market price.
-
66 -
-
b. The issuer undergoes financial distress and is de-listed or liquidated as a result.
-
c. Event of default, such as failure to pay interest or principal.
-
d. The issuer undergoes bankruptcy.
-
-
(4) Assessment of expected credit losses
-
A. Expected credit losses are estimated by multiplying the amount of credit exposure with the probability of default (PD) and loss given default (LGD).
Financial assets that are classified as Class I as at the balance sheet date shall have expected credit losses estimated over the next 12 months.
Financial assets that are classified as Class II as at the balance sheet date shall have expected credit losses estimated over the remaining duration
Financial assets that exhibit objective evidence of credit impairment as at the balance sheet date shall be classified as Class III and have expected credit losses estimated over the remaining duration.

Note 1: "Notes on Natural Disaster Insurance (Commercial Earthquake Insurance and Typhoon/Flood Insurance) Reserve Enhancement for Non-life Insurance Companies" issued by the competent authority in Jin-Guan-Bao-Cai-Zi No. 10102515061 dated November 9, 2012 permitted the reclassification of special claim reserves for major incidents to special claim reserves for change of risk. The Company had yet to make full provision of special claim reserves for commercial earthquake and Typhoon/flood insurance at that time, and was therefore unable to reclassify balances to special reserves.
-
Note 2: If the Company had not adopted “Notes on Natural Disaster Insurance (Commercial Earthquake Insurance and Typhoon/Flood Insurance) Reserve Enhancement, Notes on Residential Earthquake Coinsurance Members' Reserves, and Rules on Nuclear Risks Insurance Reserves for Non-life Insurance Companies,” the amount of Insurance liability - Special claim reserve would have decreased by NT$953,057 thousand (net of NT$238,264 thousand tax impact) against an increase in special reserve of the same amount as of December 31, 2020; meanwhile, net income for the period from January 1 to December 31, 2020 would have fallen by NT$5,368 thousand and earnings per share would have reduced by NT$0.02.

(12) Information on insurance risks
1. Sensitivity analysis for insurance risks
The Company conducts sensitivity analysis on major assumptions that have the potential to affect claim reserves, such as average cost of claim, claim-related expenses and number of claim cases. Impacts on claim reserves are established by making reasonable and possible changes to one assumption while holding other major assumptions constant. For example, a change to the
- 91 -
variable "average cost of claim" would result in a proportional change in claim reserves. Detailed analysis is presented below:
| Average cost of claim |
December 31,2020 | December 31,2020 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single-varia ble Variation 5% |
Effect on gross claims reserve Increase (decrease) $ 104,787 |
Effect on net claims reserve Increase (decrease) $ 71,932 |
Effect on pre-taxprofit Increase (decrease) ( $ 71,932 ) |
Pre-tax effect on owners' equity |
|
| Increase (decrease) |
|||||
| ( $ 71,932 ) |
Note: The above analysis does not include mandatory automobile liabilities insurance, nuclear risks insurance, and government-regulated earthquake insurance.
- Explanation to concentration of insurance risks
The Company sets retention limits depending on the risks associated with individual insurance categories. Risks are transferred away through the use of reinsurance, which reduces concentration of insurance risks and the impacts they have on the Company. Risk concentration by business category is explained below:

Note 1: Financial statements for the last 5 years, as presented above, have been prepared according to IFRSs, and audited by the CPA. Note 2: Formulas for calculation of various analyses:
-
Business performance indicators
-
(1) Variation of written premiums revenue = (cumulative written premiums revenue in the current period - cumulative written premiums revenue for the previous period) / cumulative written premiums revenue for the previous period
["Written premiums revenue" refers to insurance premium revenues that an insurance company receives for underwriting insurance policy directly to the insured party.]
-
148 -
-
(2) Variation of losses paid = (cumulative direct losses paid in the current period - cumulative direct losses paid in the previous period) / cumulative direct losses paid in the previous period ["Direct losses paid" refers to claims that an insurance company pays to insured parties of direct written policies for suffering an insured accident.]
-
(3) Variation of retained premium = (cumulative retained premium in the current period - cumulative retained premium in the previous period) / cumulative retained premium in the previous period
- [Retained premium = written premiums revenue + reinsurance premiums revenue - reinsurance premiums expense]
-
(4) Net worth ratio = owners' equity / total assets excluding investment-linked insurance asset account
-
Profit indicators
-
(1) ROA= [net income after tax + interest expenses × (1- tax rate)] / average total assets. [Average total assets = (opening assets + closing assets) / 2]
-
(2) Return on equity = profit before or after tax / average equity [Average equity = (current equity + equity for the previous period) / 2]
-
(3) Net investment income ratio = (current net gain on investments + current gain on disposal of equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income) / [(opening available capital+ closing available capital - current net gain on investments - current gain on disposal of equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income) / 2]
-
(4) Return on investment = (current net gain on investments + current gain on disposal of equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income) / [opening assets+ closing assets - current net gain on investments - current gain on disposal of equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income) / 2]
-
(5) Combined ratio = retained expense ratio + retained earned loss ratio
-
(6) Retained expense ratio = retained expenses / retained premium [Retained premium = written premiums revenue + reinsurance premiums revenue - reinsurance premiums expense]
- [Retained expenses = commission and premium expenses + reinsurance commission expenses - reinsurance commission revenues + selling expenses + administrative expenses + depreciation and amortization of self-occupied real estate properties]
-
(7) Retained earned loss ratio = retained claims / retained earned premiums
-
[Retained claims = insurance claims paid - claims recovered from reinsurers + net change in claim reserves]
-
[Retained earned premiums = written premiums revenue + reinsurance premiums revenue - reinsurance premiums expense - net change in unearned premium reserve]
-
-
149 -
-
Operational indicators
-
(1) Retained premium to equity ratio = retained premium / equity
-
(2) Gross premium to equity ratio = (written premiums revenue + reinsurance premiums revenue) / equity
-
(3) Net reinsurance commission to equity ratio = (unearned premium reserve / retained premium) × reinsurance commission revenues / equity
-
(4) Insurance liabilities to equity ratio = Liabilities of various insurance category / equity
- [Insurance liabilities = special claim reserves + claim reserves + unearned premium reserves + other reserves]
-
(5) Variation of equity = (current equity - equity for the previous period) / absolute value of equity for the previous period
-
(6) Expense ratio = expenses / (written premiums revenue + reinsurance premiums revenue)
- [Expenses = commission and premium expenses + operating expenses + administrative expenses + depreciation and amortization of self-occupied real estate properties + reinsurance commission expenses]

Explanation to significant variations amounting to NT$10 million or 20% or above:
The increase in intangible assets in 2020 from 2019 was primarily a result of the increase in computer software cost in 2020.
The decrease in equity and other items in 2020 from 2019 was primarily a result of the decrease in valuation of equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income in 2020.
