Independent Auditor's Review Report
To stakeholders of The First Insurance Co., Ltd.:
Foreword
We have reviewed the balance sheet of The First Insurance Co., Ltd. as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for periods from January 1 to March 31, 2020 and 2019, and the accompanying footnotes (including summary of major accounting policies). It is the responsibility of the management to prepare and ensure fair presentation of financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Insurance Enterprises, and the version of IAS 34 - "Interim Financial Reporting" approved and published by the Financial Supervisory Commission. Our responsibility as auditor is to form a conclusion based on our review.
Scope
We, the auditors, have performed the review in accordance with Statement on Auditing Standards No. 65 - "Financial Statement Review." The procedures executed in our review of financial statements include inquiry (mainly with employees responsible for financial and accounting affairs), analysis and other review-related processes. The scope of financial statement review is significantly smaller than a financial statement audit, therefore we may not be able to detect all material issues through the steps we have taken, and are unable to provide an opinion. Conclusion
In our opinion, none of the material disclosures of the financial statements mentioned above exhibited any misstatement that did not conform with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Insurance Enterprises or the version of IAS 34 - "Interim Financial Reporting" approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission, or compromised the fair view of the financial position of The First Insurance Co., Ltd. as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, and business performance and cash flow for periods from January 1 to March 31, 2020 and 2019.

IFRS 17 - "Insurance Contracts"
Accounting treatment of insurance contracts stated under IFRS 17 will supersede IFRS 4 - "Insurance Contracts." Main context of IFRS 17 is 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 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
- 11 -
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 the coverage period of 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. The fulfillment cash flows (“FCF”) comprise estimates of future cash flows, an adjustment to reflect the time value of money (“TVM”) and the financial risks associated with the future cash flows, and a risk adjustment for non-financial risk. Contractual service margin represents the unearned profit of the 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 on initial recognition of a group of insurance contracts at an amount that results in no income or expenses arising from: (a) The initial recognition of an amount for the FCF; (b) The de-recognition at that date of any asset or liability recognized for insurance acquisition cash flows; and (c) Any cash flows arising from the contracts in the group at that date.
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), that excess shall be recognized in profit or loss immediately.
Onerous contracts
An insurance contract is onerous at initial recognition if the total of the FCF, any previously recognized acquisition cash flows and any cash flows arising from the contract at that date is a net outflow. The Company shall recognize a loss in profit or loss for the net outflow, resulting in the carrying amount of the liability for the group being equal to the FCF and the CSM of the group being 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) on the condition that, at the inception of the group:
-
12 -
-
(a) The Company reasonably expects the size of liability for remaining coverage measured 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).
Using the PAA, the liability for remaining coverage shall be initially recognized as the premiums received at initial recognition minus any insurance acquisition cash flows. Subsequently, the carrying amount of the liability shall be adjusted for premiums received, amortization of acquisition cash flows, minus the amount recognized as insurance revenue for coverage provided in that period, and minus any investment component 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 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 IAS 34 - "Interim Financial Reporting." This financial report does not contain all IFRSs disclosures required in a full-year report.
- (2) Basis of preparation
This financial report has been prepared based on historical cost, except for financial instruments carried at fair value.
- 13 -
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) Other significant accounting policies Apart from the explanations presented below, please refer to the 2019 financial
report for a summary of significant accounting policies.
-
Retirement benefits - defined benefit plan
-
Interim retirement costs are calculated from the beginning until the end of
-
the interim period using the actuarial pension cost rate determined at the end of the previous year, and adjusted for major market changes, plan modifications, settlements and other one-time events that took place in the current period.
-
- Income tax
Income tax expense represents the sum of current income tax and deferred income tax. Income taxes for the interim period are assessed by determining the tax rate applicable to expected total annual earnings, and applying the tax rate to interim pre-tax profit. If tax rate impact arising from a tax law amendment during the interim period is consistent with the accounting principles of the transaction giving rise to the tax consequence, the tax impact is recognized through profit and loss, other comprehensive income or directly into equity in one entry in the period occurred.
- 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:
- (1) 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.
-
(3) Special claim reserves
-
14 -
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 reserves that are presented under other equity items.
A. 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.
B. 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. (4) Deficiency reserve
The Company assesses future possible claims and expenses for each category of unexpired contracts and existing insurance risks. If the estimated claims and expenses exceed unearned premium reserves plus expected premium revenues, a deficiency reserve shall be provided on the difference for that insurance category.
(5) Liabilities adequacy reserve
- 15 -
With regards to contracts that are subject to liability adequacy test under IFRS 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.
5. Main source of uncertainty for major 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 management will continually review its 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. Cash

Claims recoverable from reinsurers and reinsurance accounts receivable are presented under reinsurance contract assets. Please refer to Notes 14 and 36(1) for details on insurance contract receivables.
(II) Notes, premiums and other receivables
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 counterparty'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.

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. (2) 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-(2) - 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 28), 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.
The Company held its board of directors meeting on March 26, 2020 and annual general meeting on June 27, 2019 to propose and resolve earnings appropriation plans for 2019 and 2018, respectively, as follows:
| Legal reserve Special reserve (Note 1) Special reserve (Note 2) Dividends |

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$207,452,000 for 2019 had been made and accounted on December 31, 2019. Net provisions for January 1 to March 31, 2020 were estimated at NT$54,275,000.

(3) Special reserve (including including provision of special reserve required for first-time adoption of IFRSs)
-
Details of special reserve made for first-time adoption of IFRSs:
December 31,
March 31, 2020 2019 March 31, 2019 Special reserve $ 51,849 $ 51,849 $ 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$51,849,000 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 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 reserve 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.

27. Earnings (losses) per share
Net income (loss) and the number of weighted average common shares used for calculating earnings (losses) per share are explained below: Current net income (loss)
| Current net income (loss) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Net income (loss) used for calculating earnings per share Shares Weighted average common shares used for calculating basic earnings per share Dilutive effect of potential common shares: Employee remuneration Weighted average common shares used for calculating diluted earnings per share |
January 1 to March 31,2020 January 1 to March 31,2019 ($ 172,346) $ 375,213 Unit: thousand shares January 1 to March 31,2020 January 1 to March 31,2019 301,164 301,164 - 461 301,164 301,625 |
January 1 to March 31,2019 |
|
| 301,164 461 301,625 |
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. The Company reported net loss between January 1 and March 31, 2020; due to the counter-dilutive effect, no calculation for diluted earnings per share was made. 28. Capital risk management
Please refer to Note 35(6) for more information on the management of asset and liability risks. According to the Insurance Act, the Company is required to maintain capital at no less than 200% of risk-weighted assets. Failure to maintain the abovementioned ratio will render the Company unable to distribute earnings; in addition, the Company would be required to raise capital within the due dates specified by the competent authority or have business activities and use of capital restricted in certain ways. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had maintained its capital above the percentage stated in the Insurance Act and was not subject to the above treatments.

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.

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. Values in the following table represent the amount of (increase) decrease in pre-tax profit (loss) if NTD strengthens against other currencies by 1%. Effects on pre-tax profit (loss) and equity following a 1% weakening of the NTD against the respective foreign currencies would be a positive figure of the same amount.

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. A. Risk of cash flow changes due to interest rate
If interest rate increased/decreased by 1 basis point, the Company's pre-tax profit/loss would decrease/increase by NT$18,000 for the period January 1 to March 31, 2020 and increase/decrease by NT$22,000 for the period January 1 to March 31, 2019, provided that all other variables remained unchanged. Exposure to interest rate risk is mainly attributed to bank deposits (demand deposits and foreign currency deposits).
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 equity between January 1 and March 31, 2020 and 2019 would decrease/increase by NT$1,251,000 and NT$914,000, 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.
(4)
If equity price increased/decreased by 1%, pre-tax profit and equity between January 1 and March 31, 2020 and 2019 would increase/decrease by NT$18,240,000 and NT$35,340,000, 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 equity between January 1 and March 31, 2020 and 2019 would increase/decrease by NT$20,950,000 and NT$8,210,000, respectively, due to changes in the fair value of equity instruments carried at fair value through other comprehensive income. 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 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
- 45 -
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 investment portfolio given extreme changes in a series of financial variables.

For information on credit risk management and impairment assessment of receivables, please refer to Note 12(2)~(3).
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.
-
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).
-
47 -
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. B. Loss provisions variation chart

- (2) Liquidity risk management
The Company has implemented a robust capital liquidity risk management system, and adopted market liquidity risk management practices that conform to the volume of market transactions and the positions held on hand. The Company has also devised response plans for extraordinary and emergency liquidity situations where the Company may require additional capital.
- (3) The Company maintains adequate position of cash and cash equivalents to support corporate operations and to mitigate effects of cash flow variation.

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 earnings 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$957,082,000 (net of NT$239,271,000 tax impact) against an increase in special earnings reserve of the same amount as of March 31, 2020; meanwhile, net income for the period from January 1 to March 31, 2020 would have fallen by NT$1,342,000 and earnings per share would have reduced by NT$0.01.

(12) Information on insurance risks
- 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
- 73 -
while holding other major assumptions constant. For example, a change to the variable "average cost of claim" would result in a proportional change in claim reserves. Detailed analysis is presented below:

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:
