Report of Independent Accountants Translated from Chinese

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of President Securities Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of President Securities Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the "Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants" and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of President Securities Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012 and their financial performance and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 in conformity with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms”, “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Futures Commission Merchants”, and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

We have audited the parent company only financial statements of President Securities Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 on which we have issued an unqualified opinion thereon.

PricewaterhouseCoopers, Taiwan
