In 2020, the global economic performance was deeply affected by the outbreak of COVID-19. At the end of 2019, a severe outbreak of COVID-19 occurred in Mainland China. In March 2020, the epidemic spread from Asia to Europe and the U.S.; countries across the world implemented lockdown measures to contain the spread of the epidemic, resulting in an immediate halt of the global economy and transportations. The supply and demand of crude oil experienced serious imbalances in the international market, which led to a sharp drop in its price on an ongoing basis, and triggered substantial fluctuation in the global financial market. The Lockdown measures implemented by countries to contain the spread of the outbreak materially affected the performance of the transportation industry, tourism service industry, and import/outport business. Fortunately, countries rolled out corporate and personal burden alleviation measures and easing monetary policies to slow down the panic sentiments in the financial market and mitigate liquidity risks.

On March 3 and 15, 2020, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) significantly cut down the Federal Funds Rate by 150 basis points, returning to the zero interest rate policy that has been ceased since the financial crisis in 2008. In March 2020, the U.S. stock market experienced setbacks due to the panicking sentiments of investors resulted from the outbreak, triggering constant circuit breakers. The Fed upgraded the quantitative easing (QE) program from $700 billion, which was just implemented, to an unprecedentedly limitless QE in a short period of time, and include investment-grade corporate bonds and investment-grade listed ETF into the scope of purchases for the first time. Central banks in Europe and Japan soon followed on canceling their purchase ceilings of QE policies. In the meantime, the People's Bank of China adopted the targeted Reserve Requirement Ratio (RRR) cuts in response, the central banks and governments of major and emerging countries across the world adopted easing policies one after another and rolled out various burden alleviation programs shortly to maintain the drivers for the economy and employment, and stabilize the confidence of the corporates and citizens.

While the countries maintained their easing monetary policies, Central Bank in Taiwan also had an interest cut of 25 basis points in March, with a rediscount rate at 1.125%. With respect to the currency rates, the U.S. monetary easing policy weakened U.S. Dollars (USD), coupled with the repatriated funds from the Taiwanese businesses, the currency rate of New Taiwan Dollars (NTD) against USD appreciated from NT$30.114 at the beginning of 2020 to NT$28.508 at the end of 2020.

and the Overall Economy

(1) External Competitive Environment

Impacts of COVID-19:

  • A. As domestic and overseas outbreaks of COVID-19 have yet slowed down, the global economy experiences fluctuations and disturbance. Under the highly effective control of the Taiwanese government, complete basic medical equipment and forward-looking plans were utilized to restrain the spread of the epidemic in Taiwan and withstand the economic recessions brought by COVID-19, recording growth against the trend, and facilitating the return of Taiwanese businesses.

  • B. The isolation policy in response to the outbreak materially impacted the retail service industry. Transaction models and operating methods of merchants may be significantly changed due to the safe distance. The low-contact payment model will become the key innovative development for the financial service models after the outbreak A post-pandemic trend of sustainable finance emerges; the Banking industry, therefore, attaches more attention to climate change and natural disasters, systemic risks of plague, and financial disclosures.

17

(2) Regulatory Environment

  • A. The competent authority rolled out regulatory policies affecting the premium and operations of new contracts for the insurance industry one after another, including reducing the interest rate for the policy reserve of new life insurance contracts denominated in different currencies, increasing the barrier for death covered by life insurance, and audio and video recording for senior insurance customer purchasing policies with cash surrender values, and relevant regulations, resulting in a drop in total transaction of premium due to the halt of sales in most insurance products.

It also reinforced specialists' educational training and communicated with specialists with respect to compliance and operational requirements.

Taiwan possesses the comparing to the other countries advantage in manufacturing technology and has relatively better control for the epidemic. It, therefore, become a stronghold for Taiwanese businesses and multinational enterprises when making such transfers, contributing to the domestically economic performance. The return trend of Taiwanese businesses created demands for investments, capital utilization, and plant establishment, which benefit the potential opportunities for financing, loans, and wealth management businesses of the banking industry. Suppliers turn to Southeast Asia for establishing their production capacity also brought chances for banks in Taiwan to promote overseas businesses, including margin purchase businesses such as wealth management planning, plant establishing and land purchasing, and equipment investment.

1. Establishment and History

The forerunners of the Taiwan Business Bank (TBB) were two private cooperative savings institutions, one established in Taipei in June 1915 and the other in Tainan the following month. The Taipei institution was merged into another company in 1920 and the Tainan institution was reorganized under a different name in 1926.

Following the restoration of Taiwan to China on October 25, 1945, these two savings institutions, along with two others, were taken over by the Taiwan Provincial Government. On September 1, 1946, the four were combined and reorganized into the "Taiwan Mutual Financial Co." On May 31, 1947, this new financial institution absorbed the Tokiwa Real Estate Co., bringing its capitalization to $10 million Old Taiwan Dollars. Its name was changed to the "Taiwan Provincial Loans and Savings Co." on June 1, 1947, as the original name was under the Japanese system, and again to the "Taiwan Mutual Loans and Savings Co." in January 1948 as the scope of business was similar to the nature of saving institutions.

The government moved to promote Taiwan's economic development and boost the growth of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in 1975 by revising the Banking Act and writing in an additional provision for a specialized SME bank. In line with the government policy, Taiwan Mutual Loans and Savings Co. was reorganized into the "Medium Business Bank of Taiwan" (later to be known as the Taiwan Business Bank, or TBB) on July 1, 1976, whereupon it became a specialized bank charged with the provision of financial assistance and guidance to SMEs. It has been cultivating the SME financial services field now for more than 44 years. Later, to cope with the liberalized and internationalized financial environment, and to conform to the government's vision of promoting Taiwan to become Asia-Pacific Regional Operations Center, the TBB was transformed into a private bank on January 22, 1998, and officially entered into a whole new era.

At the time of the TBB's reorganization in 1976, it had a capitalization of NT$500 million, 50 branches, and 58 sub-branches. To build up the Bank's operating capital and strengthen its operating structure, repeated capital increases have brought total capitalization to NT$74,885.83 million today. The Bank's structural framework has also been readjusted constantly in response to changes in the financial environment and in business needs. a Department of Auditing and the Secretariat were set up under the Board of Directors in the headquarters. Apart from the Compliance Department, the TBB's management units include 17 departments and three divisions under three major business groups, one development center, and two management centers. The Bank has 125 domestic business units (including the Department of Business) and an Offshore Banking Unit (OBU), and also operates eight overseas branches, including Hong Kong Branch, Los Angeles Branch and New York Branch in the U.S., Sydney Branch and Brisbane Branch in Australia, , Shanghai Branch, Wuhan Branch, and Tokyo Branch, along with the Yangon Representative Office in Myanmar. Regional Operation Centers were set up to handle business development and supervision, centralized business management, operational services, and other business support functions in order to enhance business promotion capability and reinforce asset quality control. In addition, Domestic Processing Centers were established to upgrade operating performance through the centralized handling of domestic outward remittances, bills for collection (B/C), and bills withdrawal. Meanwhile, to cope with the mid-tolong term development and business needs, Strategy Development Committee, CSR Committee, Cyber Security Management Committee, and Digital Transformation Committee were established. In addition, the Innovative Finance Project Office was established to strengthen the supports for important loans to the green finance, urban renewal, and cultural innovation industries. Furthermore, the former Customer Service Division under the Credit Card Department went through stages of expansion to form the Customer Service Center, taking charge of customer advisory services of the entire bank and is now subordinated to the digital banking Department.

  • A. Geographic Scope of Operations

Apart from being a specialized bank for SMEs, the Bank also provides diversified services in personal financing, wealth management, and the professional financing field. With our branches spreading across the nation, we have 125 branches in Taiwan and 1 Offshore Banking Unit, 8 overseas branches in Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Sydney, Shanghai, Brisbane, Wuhan, New York, and Tokyo as well as one representative office in Yangon, Myanmar.

  • B. Market supply and demand and market growth in the future

Under the impacts of COVID-19 and the trade war between the U.S. and the PRC, multinational enterprises reduced the production ratio in the PRC or moved production bases out of the PRC. Taiwan possesses the comparing to the other countries advantage in manufacturing technology and has relatively better control for the epidemic. It, therefore, become a stronghold for Taiwanese businesses and multinational enterprises when making such transfers, contributing to the domestically economic performance. According to the figure marked up by the Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics (DGBAS), the economic growth rate in Taiwan was 3.11% for 2020, and it is estimated that the economic growth rate in Taiwan for 2021 will increase to 4.64%. According to the forecast made by the DGBAS, the economic performance in 2021 will surpass that of 2020. According to ITRI's IEKCQM, it is estimated that the output value of the manufacturing industry in Taiwan will reach NT$19.68 trillion in 2021 with an output value growth of 4.75%.

As the Fed implied that mark-up of the interest rate would not occur by 2023, the probability of interest rate increase by the Central Bank of Taiwan is low with the backdrop that the probability of interest rate increase by Fed of the U.S. is low. As the interest rate in Taiwan is at the low range historically, the probability of interest rate decrease is low, unless another global trend of interest rate decrease occurred. Therefore, it is estimated that bank interest rate differential for banks funded by the government is unlikely to experience further significant shrinkage and the impacts arising from the shrinking interest rate differential will also decline. Regarding the exchange rate performance, with the continuous weakening of USD, the exchange rate for NTD against USD is maintained at approximately USD 1: NTD 28, which may become the new norm as indicated by the Central Bank.

The return trend of Taiwanese businesses created demands for investments, capital utilization, and plant establishment, which benefit the potential opportunities for financing, loans, and wealth management businesses of the banking industry. Suppliers turn to Southeast Asia for establishing their production capacity also brought chances for banks in Taiwan to promote overseas businesses, including margin purchase businesses such as wealth management planning, plant establishing and land purchasing, and equipment investment. It is estimated that such conditions will contribute to the business volume for the banks in Taiwan regarding deposits, loans, and wealth management in 2021.

As for the development trend for the industry, the isolation policy resulted from COVID-19 facilitates the development trend for low-contact services within the banking industry. A post-epidemic trend of sustainable finance emerges; the banking industry attaches more attention to climate change and natural disasters, detection for systemic risks of plague, and financial disclosures.

The isolation policy in response to COVID-19 materially minimized the chances of consumers entering real outlets, generating significant impacts on the retail service industry. Transaction models and operating methods of merchants may be significantly changed due to the safe distance. The low-contact payment model will become the key innovative development for the financial service models after the outbreak.

It is expected for the year 2021 that there will be more banks continue to optimize their mobile banking service platform and increase the cross-field operations with different industries to build scenario finance, create the financial ecosystem, and put focus on the customer groups with non-high-end asset that received minor services in the past, so as to expand their businesses to general citizens and bring new business opportunities for the banking industry. The internal management of the banking industry is developing

  2. Changes for the latest two periods (2020 and 2019) have not reached 20%; analysis of the reason is exempted.

Calculation formula of capital adequacy ratio is as follow:

  1. Equity capital = common stock equity + other tier 1 capital + tier 2 capital that is non-common stock equity.

  2. Total risk-weighted assets = credit-risk-weighted assets + capital charge of (operating risk + market risk) × 12.5

  3. Capital adequacy ratio = equity capital / total risk-weighted assets.

  4. Tier 1 capital to risk assets ratio = (common stock equity + other tier 1 capital under non-common stock equity) / total risk-weighted assets.

  5. Common stock equity to risk assets ratio = common stock equity / total risk-weighted assets.

  6. Gearing ratio = net tier 1 capital / total exposure.

  7. (3) Improvement measures when the equity capital to risk assets ratio calculated according to Article 44 of the Banking Act is lower than the required ratio: None.

5. Independent Auditors' Report for 2020 Consolidated Financial Statements

Independent Auditors' Report

To the Board of Directors of Taiwan Business Bank, Ltd.:

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Taiwan Business Bank, Ltd. "the Bank" and subsidiaries which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Bank and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Held Banks, and with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs"), International Accounting Standards ("IAS"), Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") or the former Standing Interpretations Committee ("SIC") endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, Jin-Kuan-Yin-Zi No.1082731571 and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China.Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Bank and subsidiaries in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China ("the Code"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

1. The assessment of loans impairment

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

The management of the Bank and subsidiaries assess the impairment of loans by determining if there is any observable evidence indicating impairment, and dividing them into collective assessment and individual assessment based on the materiality levels to measure by different impairment method. For the individual assessment with objective evidence of impairment, the measurement is based on expected future cash flow. For the collective assessment with objective evidence of impairment, the Bank and its subsidairies need to calculate the recovery rate of each group to measure the impairment amount. For the collectively assessed loans without objective evidence of impairment, the impairment is calculated by establishing an impairment model using the pass loss experience on assets with similiar credit risk characteristic to form basic estimation. Besides the methods mentioned above, the management of the Bank and its subsidairies should inspect weather the amount of impairment is in compliance with the minimum level made by the authority. Both the evaluation of impairment evidences and its methods, as well as the uses of assumptions, such as the expected recovery rates and default rates, which are applied to determine the future cash flow, involved significant judgements and estimations. Therefore, the assessment on the impairment of loans has been identified as a key audit matter in our audit.

120

Taiwan Business Bank Annual Report 2020

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Our principal audit procedures included: understanding the methodology and related control procedure about how the management asseses and measures the impairment amount of loans. For individual assessment, we used sampling test to evaluate the use of the original effective interest rate, the appropriateness of the estimation of future recoverable amounts and value of collateral. For collective assessment, we assessed the impairment model adopted by the management and reviewed the appropriated of the calculation of the impairment parameters and verified the completeness of the loans portfolio via sampling. Also, we inspect the overall credit default risk, and evaluated whether the relevant expected credit impairment parameters have been adjusted due to the impact of the epidemic. Meanwile, we assessed whether allowance for the loans meets the requirements.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

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

ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Bank and subsidiaries or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

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

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

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

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

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

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

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

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

121

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

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

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

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

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

The engagement partners on the audits resulting in this independent auditors' report are CHUNG, TAN TAN and CHEN, CHUN KUANG.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2020 and 2019

==> picture [28 x 19] intentionally omitted <==

1. Company history

TAIWAN BUSINESS BANK, LTD. (the "Bank") was formerly a general savings union known as "Taiwan Mutual Financing Bank" or "Tai-Shio Mutual Financing Bank" when it was established in 1915. After several mergers and acquisitions, it was renamed as Taiwan Business Bank, Ltd. in order to finance and provide banking assistance to small and medium-size businesses on July 1, 1976. The Bank's major lines of business are the following:

  • (A) As prescribed by the Banking Law, provides professional services tailored to the needs of small and medium-size businesses;

  • (B) Trust and securities brokerage businesses as approved by the relevant authority;

  • (C) International banking business; and

  • (D) Other relevant businesses as authorized by the relevant authority in-charge.

As of December 31, 2020, the Bank not only sets up the business dept., international dept., securities dept. and trust dept. under head office but also has 124 domestic branches, 1 offshore banking unit, 8 overseas branches, 1 oversea representative office and 16 securities brokerage locations.

The Bank became listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange on January 3, 1998.

Under the "Statute for Privatization of State Enterprises" and upon the approval of Taiwan Province Government, the shares of the Bank owned by the provincial government were sold to the public. In line with privatization of the three other major Taiwan province government owned run commercial banks, the Bank had completed its own privatization on January 22, 1998.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Bank and subsidiaries has 5,411 and 5,387 employees, respectively.

3. New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted:

  • (a) The impact of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C. (“FSC”) which have already been adopted.

The Bank and subsidiaries has initially adopted the following new amendments, which do not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements, from January 1, 2020:

  • Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS39 and IFRS7 "Interest Rate Benchmark Reform"

  • Amendments to IFRS 16 "COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions"

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

129

  • (i) Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS39, IFRS7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 "Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2

The amendments address issues that might affect financial reporting as a result of the reform of an interest rate benchmark, including the effects of changes to contractual cash flows or hedging relationships arising from the replacement of an interest rate benchmark with an alternative benchmark rate. The amendments provide practical relief from certain requirements in IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 relating to:

  • The amendments will require an entity to account for a change in the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of a financial asset or financial liability that is required by interest rate benchmark reform by updating the effective interest rate of the financial asset or financial liability. On December 31, 2020, the Bank and subsidiaries has $107,322,000 sterling of bank assets, $1,461,000 sterling of bank loans and $11,802,000 sterling of the nominal amount of derivatives investments which are secured by LIBOR that will be subject to LIBOR reform. The Bank and subsidiaries expects that interest rate benchmark for these position will be changed to TAIFX and that no significant modification gain or loss will arise as a result of applying the amendments to these changes.

  • 2) Disclosure

  • The amendments will require the Bank and subsidiaries to disclose additional information about the entity's exposure to risks arising from interest rate benchmark reform and related risk management activities.

  • 3) Transition

The Bank and subsidiaries plans to apply the amendments from January 1, 2021. Application will not impact amounts reported for 2020 or prior periods.

  • (ii) Other amendments

  • Amendments to IFRS 4 "Extension of the Temporary Exemption from Applying IFRS 9"

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

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies on the end of each subsequent reporting period (hereinafter referred to as the reporting date) are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate of Bank of Taiwan at 10 AM. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of translation. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognized in profit or loss, except for the equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income which are recognized in other comprehensive income arising on the retranslation.

(b) Foreign operations

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

==> picture [49 x 126] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [28 x 19] intentionally omitted <==

All the translation differences arising from above procedures are presented in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity. The exchange difference from translating net investments in foreign operations is recognized in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is wholly or partially disposed, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal.

(E) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalent comprise cash on hand, petty cash, foreign currency on hand and cash in banks, but excludes those items which are designated for specific purposes or restricted by contracts and law.

(F) Financial Instruments

Trade receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Bank and subsidiaries becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset (unless it is a receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.

other comprehensive income (FVOCI) – debt investment; FVOCI – equity investment; or FVTPL. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Bank and subsidiaries changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the next reporting period following the change in the business model.

  • (1) Investment in debt instruments measured at amortized cost

designated as at FVTPL:

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

  • and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost, which is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition, plus/minus, the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method, adjusted for any loss allowance. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, as well as impairment, are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

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

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

  • it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

  • and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

133

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Bank and subsidiaries may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.

Debt investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

Equity investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss.

FVTPL, including derivate financial assets. On initial recognition, the Bank and subsidiaries may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.

  • (4) Discount and loans, net

Discount and loans are recorded as initial fair value including direct transaction cost, and the subsequent measurement recognizes interest income via effective interest rate method if there is not much difference then it can adopt straight line method and is booked as per amortized cost deducted by impairment loss. Interest accrual on discount and loans are suspended if either of the following occurs:

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

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

measured at amortized cost, debt investments measured at FVOCI and loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts. Equity instrument investment does not need to recognize expected credit losses.

The Bank and subsidiaries measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss (ECL), except for the following which are measured as 12-month ECL:

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

  • other debt securities, receivables, loan commitments and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

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

12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instruments is less than 12 months).

134

Taiwan Business Bank Annual Report 2020

The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Bank and subsidiaries is exposed to credit risk.

When determining whether the credit risk of financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Bank and subsidiaries considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available (without undue cost or effort). This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Bank and subsidiaries' historical experience, informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information.

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls. The difference between the cash flows due to the Bank and subsidiaries expect to receive. ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

At each reporting date, the Bank and subsidiaries assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost, debt securities at FVOCI, loan commitments and contracts of financial guarantee are credit-impaired. A financial asset is "credit-impaired" when one or move events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:

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

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

  • have occurred.

amount of the assets. For debt securities at FVOCI, the loss allowance is charged to profit or loss and is recognized in other comprehensive income instead of reducing the carrying amount of the asset.

In addition to estimate the allowance for bad debts and guarantee liability provisions as above, according to "Regulations Governing the Procedures for Banking Institutions to Evaluate Assets and Deal with Non-Performing and Non-Accrual Loans ", and considering the situation of their finance and the default of principal and interest payment, the credit assets are classified as below:

  • 2% of the second class credit assets.

  • 10% of the third class credit assets.

  • 50% of the fourth class credit assets.

The allowance for bad debts and guarantee liability provisions were assessed by the previously stated method shall not be less than the amount regulated by " Regulations Governing the Procedures for Banking Institutions to Evaluate Assets and Deal with Non-Performing and Non-Accrual Loans.

Unrecoverable overdue loans and bad debts of the Bank and subsidiaries, which are not able to be recovered after the overdue collection process, are written-off after deducting the recoverable portion. Upon approval by the board of directors and notification to supervisors, the excess amount of written

or repurchasing it in the near term; on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking. A derivative, except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument, is classified as instrument held for trading as well.

135

Financial liabilities falling under this category are measured at fair value at initial recognition. Attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent changes are measured at fair value and recognized in profit or loss. While for financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss, the changes in fair value generated from credit risk should be recognized under other comprehensive income, except for avoiding accounting mismatch that should be recognized in profit or loss.

when changing the business model of managing financial assets. These changes are expected to be extremely infrequent. In addition, the Bank and subsidiaries must not reclassify any financial assets and liabilities of equity instruments.

the reclassification shall be postponed from the reclassification date, and any previously recognized gains, losses (including impairment losses or reversal of impairment loss) or interest shall not be restated.

flows from the financial asset expire or when the Bank and subsidiaries transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets. A financial liability should be removed from the balance sheet when, and only when, it is extinguished, that is, when the obligation specified in the contract is either discharged or cancelled or expires. If the bonds or stocks are taken as collateral, shall not be derecognized because the Bank and subsidiaries have retained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. This is also applicable when the Bank and subsidiaries conduct securitization transactions and still retain some of the risks.

(e) Financial instruments offsetting

when, an entity has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts; and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(G) Impairment loss on non‑financial assets

The Bank and subsidiaries reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than contract assets and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment on the balance sheet date. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.

For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or cash-generating units (CGUs).

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.

any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.

(H) Property and Equipment

(a) Recognition and measurement

Items of property and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalized borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

136

as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

with the expenditure will flow to the Bank and subsidiaries.

(c) Depreciation

loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property and equipment.

Land is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives of property and equipment for current and comparative periods are as follows:

  • (1) Buildings 35-50 years

  • (2) Equipment 3-8 years

The Bank and subsidiaries reviews and adjusts the residual value and the useful lives of assets at the end of each fiscal year. Whenever there is evidence indicating that the carrying amount is unable to be recovered due to environmental activities or changes, the Bank and subsidiaries evaluate the impairment loss of assets.

(I)

  • (a) Identifying a lease

At inception of a contract, the Bank and subsidiaries assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Bank and subsidiaries assesses whether:

  • should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified; and

  • the asset throughout the period of use; and

  • the Bank and subsidiaries has the right to direct the use of the asset throughout the period of use only if either:

  • (1) the Bank and subsidiaries has the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period of use; or

  • (2) the relevant decisions about how and for what purpose the asset is used are predetermined and:

    • the Bank and subsidiaries has the right to operate the asset throughout the period of use, without the supplier having the right to change those operating instructions; or

    • the Bank and subsidiaries designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used throughout the period of use.

(b) As a lessee

The Bank and subsidiaries recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

137

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be reliably determined, the Bank and subsidiaries incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Bank and subsidiaries uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

  • Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

  • variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

  • amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

  • payments for purchase or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when:

  • there is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate; or

  • there is a change in the Bank and subsidiaries estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; or

  • there is a change in the lease term resulting from a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an option to purchase the underlying asset, or

  • there is a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an extension or termination option; or

When the lease liability is remeasured, other than lease modifications, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or in profit and loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

When the lease liability is remeasured to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease for lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the Bank and subsidiaries accounts for the remeasurement of the lease liability by decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognize in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease.

The Bank and subsidiaries has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Bank and subsidiaries recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

  • (c) As a lessor

When the Bank and subsidiaries acts as a lessor, it determines at lease commencement whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Bank and subsidiaries makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then the lease is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Bank and subsidiaries considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.

138

(J) Deferred assets

The costs of installation for utilities, including electricity and water, as well as security facilities, are capitalized and amortized equally over 5 years.

(K) Collaterals

==> picture [49 x 126] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [28 x 19] intentionally omitted <==

The difference between the amount of claims and the Bank and subsidiaries received when creditors cannot meet obligations and the collaterals are auctioned off is recognized as bad debts expense. The amount that net realized value lower than book value is recognized as impairment loss. The selling price deducts the original book value of collateral assumed is recognized as gain or loss on sale of collateral assumed.

(L) Provisions

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Bank and subsidiaries has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probably that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Amortization of the discount is recognized as interest expense.

(M) Employee benefit

the related service is provided.

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

Defined contribution plan refers to the plan that the Bank and subsidiaries annually provide certain amount of money to funds to fulfill the obligation. The Bank and subsidiaries provide pension based on compulsory obligation, contracts or voluntary will to public or private managed pension funds. If certain pension fund fails to pay the employees the benefit which they deserve for the service they provided, the Bank and subsidiaries does not hold legal or constructive obligation to pay additional provision. The Bank and subsidiaries recognizes the pension fund provided as current pension cost on accrual basis.

plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Any unrecognized past service costs and the fair value of any plan assets are deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on government bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Bank's obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid.

the calculation results in a benefit to the Bank, the recognized asset is limited to the total of the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. In order to calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements that apply to any plan in the Bank and subsidiaries. An economic benefit is available to the Bank and subsidiaries if it is realizable during the life of the plan, or on settlement of the plan liabilities.

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

  • (1) Actuarial gains and losses;

139

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

Gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of a defined benefit plan are recognized when the curtailment or settlement occurs. The gain or loss on curtailment arises from any changes in the fair value of plan assets, any changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation, and any related actuarial gains or losses and past service cost which had not previously been recognized.

The pension cost in the consolidated interim financial statements was calculated and disclosed on a year-to-date basis by using the actuarially determined pension cost rate at the end of the prior fiscal year, for the reporting period, the rate will be adjusted by material market volatility, material curtailment, reimbursement and settlement or other material one-time events.

  • (c) Deposits with favorable rate

The Bank and subsidiaries provides deposits with favorable rate to employees, which include current employee fix amount deposits with favorable rate and retired employee fix amount deposits with favorable rate. The rate difference between the favorable rate and the market rate belongs to the category of employee benefit.

According to article 28 of "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Report by Public Banks", the additional interests result from the difference between deposit with favorable rate and the deposits with market interest rate shall be calculated by actuary per the regulations related to defined benefit plan in IAS 19 . The parameters of actuarial assumptions shall follow the regulations of the competent authority.

committed, without realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to either terminate employment before the normal retirement date, or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. The Bank and subsidiaries recognize liabilities when a formal irrevocable termination project is undertaken or when benefit is provided for encouraging voluntary resignation. If benefits are payable more than 12 months after the reporting period, then they are discounted to their present value.

(N) Income tax

Income taxes comprise current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses related to business combinations or recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, all current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss.

and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payables or receivables are the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred taxes are measured at tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reserve, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and reflect uncertainty related to income taxes, if any.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset against each other only if the following criteria are met by the Bank and subsidiaries:

  • (a) the Taiwan Business Bank, Ltd. has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and

140

  • (b) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:

==> picture [49 x 126] intentionally omitted <==

  • (1) the same taxable entity; or

  • (2) different taxable entities which intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

==> picture [28 x 19] intentionally omitted <==

Temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases shall be measured based on the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the time of the asset or liability is recovered or settled, and be recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income as tax expense.

(O) Revenue recognition

Interest is recognized according to interest method. Interest accrual is suspended from the date when the loan is reclassified to non-performing loan and only when the Bank and subsidiaries receive cash, the revenue is recognized.

completed. In addition, for the individual loan which does not belong to labor service and the handling fee is over 1% of the principal, the interest rate shall be adjusted from the original agreed interest rate to the effective interest rate. For the individual loan which does not belong to the service and the handling fee is less than 1% of the principal, the recognition of the revenue should be deferred and be recognized as revenue during the loan period.

(P) Earnings per share (EPS)

The Bank and subsidiaries discloses the basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary shareholders of the bank. Basic earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the bank divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Bank divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares, such as stock that issued for employee bonuses.

(Q) Operating segments

Operating segment is the component of the Bank and subsidiaries that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Bank and subsidiaries). The segment's operating results are reviewed regularly by the Bank's chief operating decision maker to make decisions pertaining to the allocation of resources to the segment and to assess the performance for which discrete financial information is available.

5. Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty

by the FSC requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The management continues to monitor the accounting estimates and assumptions. The management recognizes any changes in accounting estimates during the period and the impact of those changes in accounting estimates in the following period.

amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is as follows:

141

(A) Impairment losses on loans

The impairment of loans of the Bank and subsidiaries was evaluated by identifying the credit risk of those financial assets have significantly increased or not at the reporting date if the credit risk has not significant incurred, the 12-month expected credit loss should be adopted to evaluate, or the lifetime credit loss evaluation should be adopted.

To evaluate the expected credit losses for 12-month and lifetime, the Bank and subsidiaries considers the unfavorable changes of payment status or the economic conditions of the countries or areas related to the default loans. When analyzing expected cash flows, the estimates by the management are based on the pass losses experience from assets with similar credit risk characteristics. In order to reduce losses from the difference between estimated and actual amount, the Bank and subsidiaries has considered historical experience, current economic conditions and forward-looking information at the reporting date to determine the assumptions to be used in calculating the impairments and the select inputs.

(B) Retirement benefit

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

The assumptions applied to determine net pension cost (revenue) include the discount rate. The Bank and subsidiaries determine the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year and apply it to calculate the present value of the future cash outflows which are to be paid to the retirement benefit obligation. To determine the appropriate discount rate, the Bank and subsidiaries should consider the interest rate of high-quality corporate bonds and government bonds. The currency of the retirement benefit shall be the same as that of the high-quality corporate bond or government bonds and the duration till maturity date shall comply with the duration of the related pension obligation. Other significant assumptions of retirement benefit obligation are based on the current market situation.

Without executing call options during the periods of debentures, the principal will be repaid in full at maturity. In order to avoid interest risk, the Bank buys interest rate swap contracts that are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. To eliminate the measurement or recognition inconsistency between IRSs and debentures, the Bank classified the debentures into financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. In addition, the Bank considers that the designated economic relationship is evaluated by the SLMM model method, if the amount of changes in the fair value of the corporate bonds attributable to changes in credit risk is listed in other comprehensive gains and losses, it will trigger or aggravate the accounting ratio of gains and losses. Therefore, the amount is reported in the profit and loss. The debentures are as follows:

(AN) Financial Instruments

  • (a) Fair value information

  • (1) General description

    • Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The financial instruments are record as fair value when original recognizing, usually refer to the transaction price in many circumstances. Except some amortized cost financial instruments, the financial instruments are measured in fair value. A quoted market price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value. If financial instruments are without active market, the Bank and subsidiaries adopted the value technique, refer to Bloomberg, Reuters or the price at which the asset could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties.

A. Level 1

active market is a market in which transactions for the homogenous assets or liabilities take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information. The stock of listed company and the beneficiary certificates, government bonds and the derivative financial instruments with public quote inactive market processed by the Bank and subsidiaries belong to Level 1.

  • B. Level 2

The input of this level is other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). The investments with lower trade volume such as government bonds, corporate bonds, financial debentures, convertible corporate bonds and derivative instruments, including financial debentures the Bank and subsidiaries issued are belong to Level 2.

C. Level 3

The input is unobservable for the asset or liability in market or counterparty prices. Unobservable inputs like: Option pricing model using the historical volatility. Because the historical volatility cannot represent the future volatility expected value of whole market participants. The input parameter used to measure the fair value of this level is not based on data that can be obtained in the market but using a combination of complex market prices to estimate their values. The assets have been categorized as a Level 3, due to their fair market value cannot be directly calculated. The equity instruments with no active market which the Bank and subsidiaries invested are Level 3.

its fair value.

If the financial instruments of quoted price, which are from the Stock Exchange, Brokers, Pricing service agencies or Government institutions, are timely and frequently, and reflects the actual price, then the financial instruments have a quoted price in an active market. If the above conditions are not fulfilled, the market is inactive.

price in an active market for the financial asset, its fair value is estimated on the basis of the result of a valuation technique that refers to quoted prices considered the identical financial instrument with same characteristics and essential terms of transaction, Discounted-Cash-Flow model and other valuation techniques including the model using market information to be made of the calculation at the balance sheet date (e.g. Taipei Exchange reference yield curve, Reuters quoted the average commercial paper rate, the Taipei Financial industry call loan rate fixing TAIBOR).

Bank and subsidiaries adopted that refers to quoted prices provided by financial institutions. Ask (bid) is used to evaluate the selling (buying) position by the Bank and subsidiaries if the quoted price include ask and bid price. If there is not a quoted price for the financial asset, transaction price close to the balance sheet date is the fair value.

Fair value of financial derivatives is the amount of cash to be paid or to be received by the Bank and subsidiaries, assuming that the contract will be terminated on the balance sheet date. The Bank and subsidiaries adopts mark-to-model prices which are usually adopted among the banking industry, such as Discounted-Cash-Flow model and Black-Scholes model. The Bank and subsidiaries adopts the price data from Reuters and Bloomberg to calculate the fair value of the holding position. The aforesaid price data is based upon the middle price and used consistently by the Bank. Furthermore, the fair value of the embedded financial derivatives is calculated based upon the quote from the counterparty, and separately calculated in accordance with the contracts.

  • C. Adjustment for fair value

  • a. The restraint of evaluation model and uncertain inputs

Bank's all related factors. Therefore, the estimated value of the evaluation model will be appropriately adjusted according to the extra parameters such as model risk or liquidity risk. Information and price parameters used in the evaluation process after careful assessment, and appropriately adjusted according to the current market situation.

  • b. Credit risk value adjustment

The Bank and subsidiaries' credit risk value adjustment of OTC transaction derivative instruments can be divided to Credit value adjustments (CVA) and debit value adjustments (DVA). To reflect the fair value of the counterparty or the default, and the Bank and subsidiaries may not be received or paid full market value of trading possibilities.

The Bank and subsidiaries would calculate credit valuation adjustment (CVA) by assessing probability of default (PD) and loss given default (LGD) of the counterparty before multiplying exposure at default (EAD) of the counterparty. On the contrary, debit valuation adjustment (DVA).

The Bank and subsidiaries assess the probability of default on the assumption of 60%, but at the risk of the nature and circumstances of available data, we may use other loss given default assumptions.

D. Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

C. Valuation techniques

instruments were as follows:

  • a. Cash and cash equivalents, due from Central Bank and call loans to banks, securities purchased under resell agreements, receivables, overdue receivables, exchange bills negotiated guarantee deposits paid, temporary payments and suspense accounts, proceeds of settlement and credit transaction, deposits from Central Bank and other banks, securities sold under repurchase agreements, payables, other financial liabilities, guarantee deposits received and temporary receipts and suspense accounts: since these instruments have short maturities, the book value is adopted as a reasonable basis in estimating the fair value.

  • b. Discounts and loans (including non-performing loans): the interest rate of bank loans, dependent on the benchmark interest rate which plus or minus the input value (i.e. motorized interest rate), said market rates, therefore, the book value of financial assets is equivalent to their fair value. Among the case of fixed interest rate, the estimated fair value of long-term loans using the discounted value of its expected cash flows, but this is minority, so the book value of financial assets is equivalent to their fair value.

  • c. Investment in debt instruments at amortized cost: the quoted price is regarded as its fair value. If there is no quoted price in an active market for the financial asset, its fair value is estimated on the basis of the result of a valuation technique.

  • 1) Central Government Securities (NTD): using the comment of "Bonds a fair price for each of times" from Taipei Exchange.

  • 2) Corporate bonds and bank debentures (NTD): the present value or fair price of Taipei Exchange determined using the future cash flow of yield curve discounting evaluation.

  • d. Deposits and remittance: to determine the fair value, considered Banking industry characteristics, the market interest rates (i.e. market price) is the fair value. And deposits are mostly due within one year, the carrying amounts is the fair value of reasonable basis. The fixed interest rate of long-term deposits should be estimated by the discounted value of its expected cash flows at fair value, and its maturity date no longer than three years, so its estimated fair value of the carrying amount is considered reasonable.

  • e. Bank debentures payable: The bank debentures payable, issued by the Bank and subsidiaries, whose stated rate was equal the effective rate, using discounted cash flow projections to estimate the fair value, equivalent to its book value.

In order to manage creditor's rights, the Bank established "Regulations Governing the Procedures to Evaluate Assets and Deal with Non-performing/Non-accrual Loans", "Regulations Governing the Reconciliation of Non-performing/Non-accrual Loans" and its operating procedure "Operating procedure Governing the Collection of Non-performing/Non-accrual Loans" and "Code of Conduct to Deal With Non-Performing Loans" to serve as the guidelines for dealing with non-performing credit and overdue loans collection.

  • b. Categorization of credit quality

Based on historical default data, the Bank established internal credit rating model and completed internal rating system to serve as a reference to credit risk control.

In order to develop an appropriate credit rating model for the Bank to evaluate the credit risk for corporate banking customers and private banking customers, it applied statistical methods, professional expert judgments and relevant customer information to fulfill the requirements. The Bank examined whether the internal credit rating model is in conformity with the actual scenario based on practical default data quarterly and adjusted all parameters to optimize the estimated results.

  • B. Due from other banks and call loans to banks

The Bank evaluates the credit status of counterparties before transaction and takes the rating information from domestic and foreign credit rating institutions into consideration to determine various credit risk facilities for the counterparties.

The Bank manages credit risk of debt instruments through credit rating data of external institutions, credit quality of bonds, geographic situations and counterparties' risk so as to identify credit risk.

At each reporting date, the Bank and subsidiaries shall assess the change in the risk of a default occurring over the expected life of the various credit assets and financial assets to determine whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. To make that assessment, the Bank and subsidiaries consider reasonable and supportable information (including forward-looking information) that is indicative of significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition. The main considerations include:

==> picture [28 x 19] intentionally omitted <==

A. credit assets

  - a. The borrowers failed to pay the principal and interest overdue for more than 30 days, less than 90 days;

  - b. When the Bank and subsidiaries conduct review or follow-up review of the relevant management procedures after loan, it knows that the financial report of the borrowers have been issued by the accountant and it has issued opinions of the significant doubt on the ability to continue as a going concern;

  - c. The deposits and assets of borrowers are compulsorily executed, besides, the deposits are compulsorily executed because of tax arrears. However, the borrowers that have enough deposit to bear the cost that assessed by the Bank and subsidiaries are except;

  - d. The bank knows (if it has received the notice from court) that the collaterals are compulsory executed by other banks;

  - f. The letter of credit insurance fund notice due to the related company's overdue debt in other bank, the creditor to stop the delivery;

  - g. Because the borrowers have been involved in litigation and unfavorable judgments, their ability of credit performance is affected;

  - aware by others.
  • B. Debt instrument investments

    • a. The latest credit rating on the report date was non-investment grade and fell more than two levels than the original rating, or;

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

the risk of default for any credit asset during the expected duration of existence or a low credit risk. The amount of expected credit losses was not taken as the change of credit risk, if the credit risk of the credit asset was low on the report date, it also assumes that the credit risk of the credit asset has not increased significantly since the initial recognition. The credit assets with low credit risk refer to the low default risk and the borrower's ability to perform its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term. No significant increase in risk relates to the borrower. The absence of economic, operational, and adverse changes in financial conditions and other bad debt conditions did not affect their ability to fulfill their contractual cash flow obligations. Financial assets on investment-grade or not on investment-grade but the ratings are not significantly reduced are also considered to be low-risk areas.

  • estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired not only the borrower defaults the loan more than 90 days, it also includes observable data as follows:

177

A. Credit assets

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

  - c. The lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower's financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise consider;

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

  - f. The purchase or origination of a financial asset at a considerable amount of discount that reflects the incurred credit losses;
  • B. Debt instrument investments

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

    • d. Counterparty defaulting on agreement of other financial instruments (e.g. transactions settlement failure, a bank decide to execute early termination of transactions, or loans originated from derivatives settlement failure).

  • (6) Write-off policy

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

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

  • B. After the collateral and the assets of the principal and subordinate debtors have been priced low or deducted from the first-order mortgage, they cannot be repaid, the execution costs are close or may exceed the Bank's reimbursable amount, and the implementation is not beneficial.

  • C. The collateral and the property of the principal and subordinate debtors were auctioned off at no cost and were not bought by anyone, and there was no one have substantial benefits.

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

The Bank and subsidiaries, whose written-off claims may still have ongoing recourse, continues to follow laws and regulations to pursue the proceedings.

The Bank and subsidiaries may revise the contractual cash flow of the credit asset due to the borrower's financial difficulties in negotiating, increasing the recovery rate of the borrowers that have problems, or maintaining the customer relationship. The modification of the contractual terms of the credit asset may include extending the contract period, modifying the payment time of interest, and modifying agreement rate and so on. If the contractual cash flow modification of the credit asset is due to the financial difficulty of the borrower, it is deemed as an impairment of the financial asset. If the contractual cash flow modification is not due to the financial difficulties of the borrower, the existing or projected unfavorable changes in the operating, financial or economic conditions under the borrower's performance or the borrower's ability to make the borrower's ability to perform its debt obligations vary significantly. The cause of anomalies or other bad debts is supplemented by an assessment of whether the credit risk of financial assets has increased significantly.

(8) Measuring the expected credit losses

  • A. Adoption of methods and assumptions

experience, internal historical data or the information from external credit rating agency is used to estimate the Probability of default (PD), Loss given default (LGD), Exposure at default (EAD) and other credit risk components.

==> picture [49 x 126] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [28 x 19] intentionally omitted <==

In order to assess the expected credit losses of credit assets, the Bank and subsidiaries are divided into the following combinations depending on the credit risk characteristics such as the identity of borrowers, products, and type of collateral:

credit asset has low credit risk at the reporting date, the Bank and subsidiaries shall measure the allowance for impairment using the 12-month expected credit losses; if the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly or credit-impaired since initial recognition, the Bank and subsidiaries shall measure the allowance for impairment using the lifetime expected credit losses.

In order to measure expected credit losses, the Bank and subsidiaries considers the default probability (Probability of default, "PD") of borrowers, and loss given default rate ("LGD") multiplying the exposure at default ("EAD"), taking into account the time value of money as well evaluate 12-month and lifetime loss.

Default probability is the default probability of the borrower (default and credit impairment of financial assets), and the loss given default rate is the rate of loss caused by default by the borrower. The default probability and default loss rate used in the impairment assessment of the credit business are based on internal historical information of each group, and adjusted based on current observable information and forward-looking general economic information.

The Bank and subsidiaries measures the EAD based on the book value of loans at reporting date. When estimating the 12-month and lifetime expected credit losses of the loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts, the definition of the credit risk increasing significantly and the credit-impaired assets are based on the rules mentioned above. Additionally, in order to determine the EAD used to calculate expected credit loss of off-balance sheet items, the Bank and subsidiaries adopts the credit conversion factor (CCF) of standardized approach in credit risk which is legislated in the regulation of Proprietary Capital and Risk Capital of Banks.

179

B. Consideration of forward-looking information

The Bank and subsidiaries obtains forward-looking information which it takes into consideration when determining whether the credit risk of financial instruments has increased significantly since initial recognition and assessing the expected credit losses. The Bank and subsidiaries identified the relevant macroeconomic factors for credit risk of each portfolio by analyzing the historically data. These macroeconomic factors include Taiwan GDP (not seasonally adjusted), Taiwan's actual industrial production index, Taiwan's annual growth rate of retail sales, Taiwan's real sales price index, unemployment rate (seasonally adjusted), Cathay National Real Estate Index (national), Taiwan's real consumer price index (Not seasonally adjusted) and Taiwan's annual growth in retail sales or other factors. The various economic factors and their impacts on Probability of Default ("PD") are different depending on the type of financial instruments.

In order to determine the credit risk of investment in debt instruments at amortized cost and at fair value through other comprehensive income has increased significantly, the Bank and subsidiaries uses the changes of external ratings published by international credit rating agencies as the quantitative indicators, while the assessment of expected credit losses are calculated by using the external ratings, as well as PD and Loss Given Default ("LGD"), published by Moody's. Since the international credit rating agencies have already considered the forward-looking information while evaluating the credit ratings, which the Bank and subsidiaries considered to be appropriate after its assessment, the credit ratings will be included in the Bank and subsidiaries' assessment of related expected credit losses.

  • (9) Credit risk hedging or diminishing.

A. Collaterals

The Bank adopts a series of policies and procedures to mitigate credit risk and enhance credit risk tolerance. The method applied most is to request customers to provide collaterals. The Bank established collateral accreditation code of conduct in term of collateral management and total loan amount to regulate the scope of collaterals and the accreditation method and regularly inspects the collaterals. When the collaterals devaluate or the concern of devaluation occurs, the Bank shall increase collaterals or retrieve part of the loans to ensure the creditor's right is intact.

  • B. Limit of credit risk and the control of credit risk concentration

  • a. In order to avoid the situation that the credit risk of single customer being too high, the credit limit of an individual, a related party or a related enterprise shall be in conformity with "Authorization method for subsection 3 of Article 33 of the Banking Act of the Republic of China" and the credit limit authorization steps are regulated in the Key Points of Credit Engagement Authorization and the Key Points of Credit Engagement Authorization for Overseas Branches of the Bank.

  • b. To enhance the risk concentration management, the Bank established regulations in terms of countries, financial institutions, industries and group enterprises. The relevant limits are reviewed and approved annually and the usage of the credit is monitored on a daily basis. In addition, the results are reported regularly.

  • C. General agreement of net amount settlement

The transactions of the Bank are mostly settled with gross amount. Part of the transactions agreed on net amount settlement. When a default occurs, the Bank terminates all the transactions with the counterparty and settles by net amount to further lower credit risk.

D. Enhancement of other credit

The assessment of credit business applies to credit 5P principles, credit risk is offset by dividing self-liquidating loan commitments as the main, and set the accounts to master the repayment of cash flow. Also, in terms of the credit agreement stipulates the offset. (i.e. all kinds of deposits, except prohibition of low or the party's agreement, the Bank can set off all the debts), thus to reduce the loan amount, shorter loan repayment period or are considered part or all of expiration of acceleration clauses. To strengthen the protection of creditor and reduce credit risk, using qualified and effective enhancement, such as the requirement of real property, personal property, demand deposits, time

(D) In 1996, the Bank's World Trade Center Branch was sued for handling a letter of credit export collection from Chin Seen Industrial Co., which allegedly used a forged export document and failed to ship the goods to the importer, the International Comagnie de Commercialization et d'Invertissement (I.C.C.I.) of the Republic of Zaire, suffered a loss thereon. In November 1998, I.C.C.I. initiated a case with the Court of Commerce of Brussels in Belgium, requested the L/C opening bank (Banque Bruxelles Lambert, or BBL) and the Bank to jointly pay compensation of USD$7,830 thousand plus interest, losses, and expenses for the L/C. On August 31, 2005, the Court of Commerce of Brussels rendered its judgment which the Bank has to make compensation of USD$7,674 thousand plus interest to I.C.C.I.. The Bank has engaged a local attorney in Belgium to formally file an appeal. In February 2011, Court of Appeal in Brussels had made an intermediate adjudication which I.C.C.I and the Bank are both responsible for the offense. Furthermore, on November 16, 2011, the judgment of the court indicated that the Bank should be responsible for 90% of the negligence proportion. In terms of the judgment of the court of the second instance, the Bank has filed an appeal on November 3, 2011. On February 6, 2013, the court overruled the Bank's appeal and the Bank lost the case. However, the Bank and I.C.C.I couldn't reach an agreement on the exchange rate and the calculation of the compensation. In October 2016, I.C.C.I initiated a case with the Court of Frankfurt in Germany, applied for seizing the Bank account in Germany, and the Bank lodged guaranty money of EUR $13,200 thousand to the court to rescind the order for attachment.

In July 2017, I.C.C.I applied for compulsory execution to the guaranty money, the court has transferred the guaranty money to I.C.C.I. The Bank then filed a lawsuit objecting to the debt through the attorney. The case was dismissed by the Court of Frankfurt in November 2018, and remanded back to trial court in November 2019 after the Bank's appeal was granted by the High Court of Frankfurt. I.C.C.I. has filed a statement of grounds for objection to the German Federal Court on March 16, 2019. And request to revoke the "Return

211

against I.C.C.I. of objections before July 16, 2019. The Bank has appointed a lawyer to act as an attorney in the German Federal Court and raised a pleading. In October and November 2019, the Bank received subpoenas from the court of the Democratic Republic of Congo by a third person Star Marine, who demanded I.C.C.I to pay USD$1,130 thousand in compensation and held the Bank as jointly liable, and by I.C.C.I, which demanded the Bank to pay USD$20,060 thousand less its reimbursed amount to make a security deposit of EUR$14,000 thousand. The Bank has engaged local attorneys to represent itself in court. The Court of Congo will merge the two cases for court, and the next court session is undetermined. As of December 31, 2020, the Bank has accrued the compensation of $185,016 and EUR$8,000 thousand.

Opinion

as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

Bank as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Held Banks, and with the Regulation Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms.

Basis for Opinion

of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, Jin-Kuan-Yin-Zi No.10802731571 and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China.Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Bank in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China ("the Code"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

1. The assessment of loans impairment

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

The management of the Bank assess the impairment of loans by determining if there is any observable evidence indicating impairment, and dividing them into collective assessment and individual assessment based on the materiality levels to measure by different impairment method. For the individual assessment with objective evidence of impairment, the measurement is based on expected future cash flow. For the collective assessment with objective evidence of impairment, the Bank needs to calculate the recovery rate of each group to measure the impairment amount. For the collectively assessed loans without objective evidence of impairment, the impairment is calculated by establishing an impairment model using the pass loss experience on assets with similar credit risk characteristic to form basic estimation. Besides the methods mentioned above, the management of the Bank should inspect weather the amount of impairment is in compliance with the minimum level made by the authority. Both the evaluation of impairment evidences and its methods, as well as the uses of assumptions, such as the expected recovery rates and default rates, which are applied to determine the future cash flow, involved significant judgements and estimations. Therefore, the assessment on the impairment of loans has been identified as a key audit matter in our audit.

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Our principal audit procedures included: understanding the methodology and related control procedure about how the management assesses and measures the impairment amount of loans. For individual assessment, we used sampling test to evaluate the use of the original effective interest rate, the appropriateness of the estimation of future recoverable amounts and value of collateral. For collective assessment, we assessed the impairment model adopted by the management and reviewed the appropriated of the calculation of the impairment parameters and

223

evaluated whether the relevant expected credit impairment parameters have been adjusted due to the impact of the epidemic. Meanwhile, we assessed whether allowance for the loans meets the requirements.

Other Matters

Refer to the Note 12 (B), Taiwan Business Bank merged Taiwan Business Bank Insurance Agency Co., Ltd. and Taiwan Business Bank Property Insurance Agency Co., Ltd. at January 2, 2020. Because the essence of the merger was reorganization, it is deemed to have been merged from the beginning and required to restate the financial report of 2019.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Held Banks, and the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Bank or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

reporting process.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

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

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

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

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

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

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

  • whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investment in other entities accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on this financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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

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

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

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors' report are CHUNG, TAN TAN and CHEN, CHUN KUANG.

1. Company history

TAIWAN BUSINESS BANK, LTD. (the "Bank") was formerly a general savings union known as "Taiwan Mutual Financing Bank" or "Tai-Shio Mutual Financing Bank" when it was established in 1915. After several mergers and acquisitions, it was renamed as Taiwan Business Bank, Ltd. in order to finance and provide banking assistance to small and medium-size businesses on July 1, 1976. The Bank's major lines of business are the following:

  • (A) As prescribed by the Banking Law, provides professional services tailored to the needs of small and medium -size businesses;

  • (B) Trust and securities brokerage businesses as approved by the relevant authority;

  • (C) International banking business; and

  • (D) Other relevant businesses as authorized by the relevant authority in-charge.

As of December 31, 2020, the Bank not only sets up the business dept., international dept., securities dept. and trust dept. under head office but also has 124 domestic branches, 1 offshore banking unit, 8 overseas branches, 1 oversea representative office and 16 securities brokerage locations.

The Bank became listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange on January 3, 1998.

Under the "Statute for Privatization of State Enterprises" and upon the approval of Taiwan Province Government, the shares of the Bank owned by the provincial government were sold to the public. In line with privatization of the three other major Taiwan province government owned run commercial banks, the Bank had completed its own privatization on January 22, 1998.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Bank has 5,369 and 5,347 employees, respectively.

3. New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted:

  • (i) Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 "Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2

233

The amendments address issues that might affect financial reporting as a result of the reform of an interest rate benchmark, including the effects of changes to contractual cash flows or hedging relationships arising from the replacement of an interest rate benchmark with an alternative benchmark rate. The amendments provide practical relief from certain requirements in IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 relating to:

  • The amendments will require an entity to account for a change in the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of a financial asset or financial liability that is required by interest rate benchmark reform by updating the effective interest rate of the financial asset or financial liability.

On December 31, 2020, the Bank has $107,280,000 sterling of bank assets and $11,802,000 sterling of the nominal amount of derivatives investments which are secured by LIBOR that will be subject to LIBOR reform. The Bank expects that interest rate benchmark for these position will be changed to TAIFX and that no significant modification gain or loss will arise as a result of applying the amendments to these changes.

  • 2) Disclosure

    • The amendments will require the Bank to disclose additional information about the entity's exposure to risks arising from interest rate benchmark reform and related risk management activities.
  • 3) Transition

    • The Bank plans to apply the amendments from January 1, 2021. Application will not impact amounts reported for 2020 or prior periods.

(A) Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Held Banks (hereinafter referred to as the Regulation) and the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms.

(B) Basis of preparation

  • (a) Basis of measurement

items in the statement of financial position:

  • derivative instruments);

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

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

The internal transactions within the headquarter, the domestic branches and the foreign branches are offset when preparing the financial statement.

  • (c) Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of the Bank is determined based on the primary economic environment in operating. The financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollar, which is the Bank's functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan Dollar has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

(C) Foreign currency

(a) Foreign currency transaction

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies on the end of each subsequent reporting period (hereinafter referred to as the reporting date) are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate of Bank of Taiwan at 10 AM. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary

235

items in a foreign currency that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of translation. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognized in profit or loss, except for the equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income which are recognized in other comprehensive income arising on the retranslation.

  • (b) Foreign operations

The income and expenses of foreign operations, excluding foreign operations in hyperinflationary economies, are translated to the Bank's functional currency (not the currency under highly inflation economy) by the following procedures:

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

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

All the translation differences arising from above procedures are presented in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity. The exchange difference from translating net investments in foreign operations is recognized in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is wholly or partially disposed, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal.

(D) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalent comprise cash on hand, petty cash, foreign currency on hand and cash in banks, but excludes those items which are designated for specific purposes or restricted by contracts and law.

(E) Financial Instruments

Trade receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Bank becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset (unless it is a receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.

  • (a) Financial assets

basis or a settlement date basis.

other comprehensive income (FVOCI) – debt investment, FVOCI – equity investment, or FVTPL. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Bank changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the next reporting period following the change in the business model.

  • (1) Investment in debt instruments measured at amortized cost

designated as at FVTPL:

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

  • and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost, which is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition, plus/minus, the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method, adjusted for any loss allowance. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, as well as impairment, are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

236

Taiwan Business Bank Annual Report 2020

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

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

  • it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

==> picture [49 x 126] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [28 x 19] intentionally omitted <==

  • and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Bank may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.

Debt investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

Equity investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss.

Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date on which the Bank's right to receive payment is established.

FVTPL, including derivate financial assets. On initial recognition, the Bank may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.

(4) Discount and loans, net

Discount and loans are recorded as initial fair value including direct transaction cost, and the subsequent measurement recognizes interest income via effective interest rate method if there is not much difference then it can adopt straight line method and is booked as per amortized cost deducted by impairment loss. Interest accrual on discount and loans are suspended if either of the following occurs:

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

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

The Bank recognize loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, debt investments measured at FVOCI and loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts. Equity instrument investment does not need to recognize expected credit losses.

The Bank measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss (ECL), except for the following which are measured as 12-month ECL:

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

237

other debt securities, receivables, loan commitments and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

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

12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instruments is less than 12 months).

The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Bank is exposed to credit risk.

recognition and when estimating ECL, the Bank considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available (without undue cost or effort). This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Bank's historical experience, informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information.

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls. The difference between the cash flows due to the Bank expects to receive.

securities at FVOCI, loan commitments and contracts of financial guarantee are credit-impaired. A financial asset is "credit-impaired" when one or move events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:

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

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

  • have occurred.

amount of the assets. For debt securities at FVOCI, the loss allowance is charged to profit or loss and is recognized in other comprehensive income instead of reducing the carrying amount of the asset.

In addition to estimate the allowance for bad debts and guarantee liability provisions as above, according to "Regulations Governing the Procedures for Banking Institutions to Evaluate Assets and Deal with Non-Performing and Non-Accrual-Loans" , and considering the situation of their finance and the default of principal and interest payment, the credit assets are classified as below:

  • 2% of the second class credit assets.

  • 10% of the third class credit assets.

  • 50% of the fourth class credit assets.

The allowance for bad debts and guarantee liability provisions were assessed by the previously stated method shall not be less than the amount regulated by " Regulations Governing the Procedures for Banking Institutions to Evaluate Assets and Deal with Non-Performing and Non-Accrual Loans.

Unrecoverable overdue loans and bad debts of the Bank, which are not able to be recovered after the overdue collection process, are written-off after deducting the recoverable portion. Upon approval by

or repurchasing it in the near term; on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking. A derivative, except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument, is classified as instrument held for trading as well.

Financial liabilities falling under this category are measured at fair value at initial recognition. Attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent changes are measured at fair value and recognized in profit or loss. While for financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss, the changes in fair value generated from credit risk should be recognized under other comprehensive income, except for avoiding accounting mismatch that should be recognized in profit or loss.

shall be postponed from the reclassification date, and any previously recognized gains, losses (including impairment losses or reversal of impairment loss) or interest shall not be restated.

The Bank shall derecognize a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or when the Bank transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets. A financial liability should be removed from the balance sheet when, and only when, it is extinguished, that is, when the obligation specified in the contract is either discharged or cancelled or expires. If the bonds or stocks are taken as collateral, shall not be derecognized because the Bank have retained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. This is also applicable when the Bank conducts securitization transactions and still retain some of the risks.

tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment on the balance sheet date. If any such indication exists, then the asset' s recoverable amount is estimated.

For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or cash-generating units (CGUs).

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pretax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.

(G) Investment in associates

Under the equity method, the profit or loss and other comprehensive income are the same as the allocated amount of those attributable to owners of parent in the consolidated financial statements, and owners' equity are the same as the equity attributable to owners of parent in the consolidated financial statements. Changes in the Bank's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control of a subsidiary are equity transactions with owners.

  • (c) Depreciation

The estimated useful lives of property and equipment for current and comparative periods are as follows:

  • (1) Buildings 35-50 years

  • (2) Equipment 3-8 years

year. Whenever there is evidence indicating that the carrying amount is unable to be recovered due to environmental activities or changes, the Bank and subsidiaries evaluate the impairment loss of assets.

(I) Lease

  • (a) Identifying a lease

At inception of a contract, the Bank assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Bank assesses whether:

  • should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified; and

  • the Bank has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and

240

Taiwan Business Bank Annual Report 2020

  • the Bank has the right to direct the use of the asset throughout the period of use only if either:

  • (1) the Bank has the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period of use; or

  • (2) the relevant decisions about how and for what purpose the asset is used are predetermined and:

==> picture [49 x 126] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [28 x 19] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Bank has the right to operate the asset throughout the period of use, without the supplier having the right to change those operating instructions; or

  • the Bank designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used throughout the period of use.

  • (b) As a lessee

The Bank recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The rightof-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be reliably determined, the Bank incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Bank uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

  • Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

  • variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

  • amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

  • payments for purchase or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when:

  • there is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate; or

  • there is a change in the Bank estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; or

  • there is a change in the lease term resulting from a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an option to purchase the underlying asset, or

  • there is a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an extension or termination option; or

When the lease liability is remeasured, other than lease modifications, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or in profit and loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

When the lease liability is remeasured to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease for lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the Bank accounts for the remeasurement of the lease liability by decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognize in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease.

241

The Bank has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Bank recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

  • (c) As a lessor

lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Bank makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then the lease is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Bank considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.

(J) Deferred assets

The costs of installation for utilities, including electricity and water, as well as security facilities, are capitalized and amortized equally over 5 years.

(K) Collaterals

The difference between the amount of claims and the Bank received when creditors cannot meet obligations and the collaterals are auctioned off is recognized as bad debts expense. The amount that net realized value lower than book value is recognized as impairment loss. The selling price deducts the original book value of collateral assumed is recognized as gain or loss on sale of collateral assumed.

(L) Provisions

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Bank has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probably that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Amortization of the discount is recognized as interest expense.

(M) Employee benefit

5. Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty

Actual results may differ from these estimates.

==> picture [49 x 126] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [28 x 19] intentionally omitted <==

amounts recognized in the financial statements is as follows :

(A) Impairment losses on loans

significantly increased or not at the reporting date if the credit risk has not significant incurred, the 12-month expected credit loss should be adopted to evaluate, or the lifetime credit loss evaluation should be adopted.

To evaluate the expected credit losses for 12-month and lifetime, the Bank considers the unfavorable changes of payment status or the economic conditions of the countries or areas related to the default loans. When analyzing expected cash flows, the estimates by the management are based on the pass losses experience from assets with similar credit risk characteristics. In order to reduce losses from the difference between estimated and actual amount, the Bank has considered historical experience, current economic conditions and forward-looking information at the reporting date to determine the assumptions to be used in calculating the impairments and the select inputs.

The Bank determine the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year and apply it to calculate the present value of the future cash outflows which are to be paid to the retirement benefit obligation. To determine the appropriate discount rate, the Bank should consider the interest rate of high quality corporate bonds and government bonds. The currency of the retirement benefit shall be the same as that of the high quality corporate bond or government bonds and the duration till maturity date shall comply with the duration of the related pension obligation. Other significant assumptions of retirement benefit obligation are based on the current market situation.

The Bank issued $120,000 thousand and $180,000 thousand dollar-denominated debentures with call option that can be executed on strike price after five years from the issued date. Without executing call options during the periods of debentures, the principal will be repaid in full at maturity. In order to avoid interest risk, the Bank buys interest rate swap contracts that are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. To eliminate the measurement or recognition inconsistency between IRSs and debentures, the Bank classified the debentures into financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. In addition, the Bank considers that the designated economic relationship is evaluated by the SLMM model method, if the amount of changes in the fair value of the corporate bonds attributable to changes in credit risk is listed in other comprehensive gains and losses, it will trigger or aggravate the accounting ratio of gains and losses. Therefore, the amount is reported in the profit and loss. The debentures are as follows:

The effects of changes in major actuarial assumptions adopted in defined benefit obligation on December 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

==> picture [390 x 115] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

Influence of defined benefit plan obligation
Increase 0.25% Decrease 0.25%
December 31, 2020
Discount rate (Change 0.25%) (1.98)% 2.04%
Future salary increase rate (Change 0.25%) 1.94% (1.89)%

Discount rate (Change 0.25%) (2.03)% 2.10%
Future salary increase rate (Change 0.25%) 2.01% (1.96)%
----- End of picture text -----

Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts shown above. The method used in the sensitivity analysis is consistent with the calculation of pension liabilities in the balance sheets.

There is no change in the method and assumptions used in the preparation of sensitivity analysis for 2020 and 2019.

(AP) Financial Instruments

  • (a) Fair value information

  • (1) General description

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The financial instruments are record as fair value when original recognizing, usually refer to the transaction price in many circumstances. Except some amortized cost financial instruments, the financial instruments are measured in fair value. A quoted market price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value. If financial instruments are without active market, the Bank adopted the value technique, refer to Bloomberg, Reuters or the price at which the asset could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties.

A. Level 1

active market is a market in which transactions for the homogenous assets or liabilities take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information. The stock of listed company and the beneficiary certificates, government bonds and the derivative financial instruments with public quote inactive market processed by the Bank belong to Level 1.

B. Level 2

The input of this level is other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). The investments with lower trade volume such as government bonds, corporate bonds, financial debentures, convertible corporate bonds and derivative instruments, including financial debentures the Bank issued are belong to Level 2.

C. Level 3

The input is unobservable for the asset or liability in market or counterparty prices. Unobservable inputs like: Option pricing model using the historical volatility. Because the historical volatility cannot represent the future volatility expected value of whole market participants. The input parameter used to measure the fair value of this level is not based on data that can be obtained in the market but using a combination of complex market prices to estimate their values. The assets have been categorized as a Level 3, due to their fair market value cannot be directly calculated. The equity instruments with no active market which the Bank invested are Level 3.

its fair value.

If the financial instruments of quoted price, which are from the Stock Exchange, Brokers, Pricing service agencies or Government institutions, are timely and frequently, and reflects the actual price, then the financial instruments have a quoted price in an active market. If the above conditions are not fulfilled, the market is inactive.

==> picture [28 x 19] intentionally omitted <==

price in an active market for the financial asset, its fair value is estimated on the basis of the result of a valuation technique that refers to quoted prices considered the identical financial instrument with same characteristics and essential terms of transaction, Discounted-Cash-Flow model and other valuation techniques including the model using market information to be made of the calculation at the balance sheet date (e.g. Taipei Exchange reference yield curve, Reuters quoted the average commercial paper rate, the Taipei Financial industry call loan rate fixing TAIBOR).

the Bank adopted that refers to quoted prices provided by financial institutions. Ask (bid) is used to evaluate the selling (buying) position by the Bank if the quoted price include ask and bid price. If there is not a quoted price for the financial asset, transaction price close to the balance sheet date is the fair value.

Fair value of financial derivatives is the amount of cash to be paid or to be received by the Bank, assuming that the contract will be terminated on the balance sheet date. The Bank and subsidiaries adopts mark-to-model prices which are usually adopted among the banking industry, such as Discounted-Cash-Flow model and Black-Scholes model. The Bank adopts the price data from Reuters and Bloomberg to calculate the fair value of the holding position. The aforesaid price data is based upon the middle price and used consistently by the Bank. Furthermore, the fair value of the embedded financial derivatives are calculated based upon the quote from the counterparty, and separately calculated in accordance with the contracts.

C. Adjustment for fair value

a. The restraint of evaluation model and uncertain inputs

The estimates of output-based value using the evaluation model, which may not reflect the Bank's all related factors. Therefore the estimated value of the evaluation model will be appropriately adjusted according to the extra parameters such as model risk or liquidity risk. Information and price parameters used in the evaluation process after careful assessment, and appropriately adjusted according to the current market situation.

b. Credit risk value adjustment

The Bank's credit risk value adjustment of OTC transaction derivative instruments can be divided to Credit value adjustments (CVA) and debit value adjustments (DVA). To reflect the fair value of the counterparty or the default, and the Bank may not be received or paid full market value of trading possibilities.

The Bank would calculate credit valuation adjustment (CVA) by assessing probability of default (PD) and loss given default (LGD) of the counterparty before multiplying exposure at default (EAD) of the counterparty. On the contrary, debit valuation adjustment (DVA).

The Bank assess the probability of default on the assumption of 60%, but at the risk of the nature and circumstances of available data, we may use other loss given default assumptions.

D. Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

  • C. Valuation techniques

Methods and assumptions used by the Bank for fair value evaluation of financial instruments were as follows:

  • a. Cash and cash equivalents, due from Central Bank and call loans to banks, securities purchased under resell agreements, receivables, overdue receivables, exchange bills negotiated guarantee deposits paid, temporary payments and suspense accounts, proceeds of settlement and credit transaction, deposits from Central Bank and other banks, securities sold under repurchase agreements, payables, other financial liabilities, guarantee deposits received and temporary receipts and suspense accounts: since these instruments have short maturities, the book value is adopted as a reasonable basis in estimating the fair value.

  • b. Discounts and loans (including non-performing loans): the interest rate of bank loans, dependent on the benchmark interest rate which plus or minus the input value (i.e. motorized interest rate), said market rates, therefore, the book value of financial assets is equivalent to their fair value. Among the case of fixed interest rate, the estimated fair value of long-term loans using the discounted value of its expected cash flows, but this is minority, so the book value of financial assets is equivalent to their fair value.

  • c. Investment in debt instruments at amortized cost: the quoted price is regarded as its fair value. If there is no quoted price in an active market for the financial asset, its fair value is estimated on the basis of the result of a valuation technique.

  • 1) Central Government Securities (NTD): using the comment of "Bonds a fair price for each of times" from Taipei Exchange.

  • 2) Corporate bonds and bank debentures (NTD): the present value or fair price of Taipei Exchange determined using the future cash flow of yield curve discounting evaluation.

  • d. Deposits and remittance: to determine the fair value, considered Banking industry characteristics, the market interest rates (i.e. market price) is the fair value. And deposits are mostly due within one year, the carrying amounts is the fair value of reasonable basis. The fixed interest rate of long-term deposits should be estimated by the discounted value of its expected cash flows at fair value, and its maturity date no longer than three years, so its estimated fair value of the carrying amount is considered reasonable.

  • e. Bank debentures payable: The bank debentures payable, issued by the Bank, whose stated rate was equal the effective rate, using discounted cash flow projections to estimate the fair value, equivalent to its book value.

(2) Credit risk management policy

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

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

  • B. Prudently evaluates the credit risk status of loan customers and trade counterparties and consider the adequacy of collaterals and guarantees to assess risk and profit.

  • C. Establish credit rating mechanism for loan customers or apply the ratings from outside credit rating institutions as the reference for undertaking credit cases or interest rate determination.

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

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

  • A. Credit Business (Including loan commitments and guarantees)

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

  • a. Categorization of credit assets

as the first category, others are classified, based on the assurance status and the time overdue, as second category (need attention), third category (possible to recover), fourth category (difficult to retrieve) and the fifth category (unable to retrieve). In order to manage creditor's rights, the Bank established "Regulations Governing the Procedures to Evaluate Assets and Deal with Non-performing/ Non-accrual

Loans", "Regulations Governing the Reconciliation of Non-performing/Non-accrual Loans" and its operating procedure "Operating procedure Governing the Collection of Non-performing/Non-accrual Loans" and "Code of Conduct to Deal With Non-Performing Loans" to serve as the guidelines for dealing with non-performing credit and overdue loans collection.

  • b. Categorization of credit quality

Based on historical default data, the Bank established internal credit rating model and completed internal rating system to serve as a reference to credit risk control.

In order to develop an appropriate credit rating model for the Bank to evaluate the credit risk for corporate banking customers and private banking customers, it applied statistical methods, professional expert judgments and relevant customer information to fulfill the requirements. The Bank examined whether the internal credit rating model is in conformity with the actual scenario based on practical default data quarterly and adjusted all parameters to optimize the estimated results.

  • B. Due from other banks and call loans to banks

The Bank evaluates the credit status of counterparties before transaction and takes the rating information from domestic and foreign credit rating institutions into consideration to determine various credit risk facilities for the counterparties.

The Bank manages credit risk of debt instruments through credit rating data of external institutions, credit quality of bonds, geographic situations and counterparties' risk so as to identify credit risk.

279

and are controlled based on the trade amount (including loans at call). Counterparties which do not have credit rating or which are of low quality shall be examined individually. For counterparties which are general customers, the Bank controls the credit risk exposure based on the derivative instrument risk facilities and conditions approved by general credit procedures.

At each reporting date, the Bank shall assess the change in the risk of a default occurring over the expected life of the various credit assets and financial assets to determine whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. To make that assessment, the Bank consider reasonable and supportable information (including forward-looking information) that is indicative of significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition. The main considerations include:

  • A. credit assets

    • a. The borrowers failed to pay the principal and interest overdue for more than 30 days, less than 90 days;

    • b. When the Bank conducts review or follow-up review of the relevant management procedures after loan, it knows that the financial report of the borrowers have been issued by the accountant and it has issued opinions of the significant doubt on the ability to continue as a going concern;

    • c. The deposits and assets of borrowers are compulsorily executed, besides, the deposits are compulsorily executed because of tax arrears. However, the borrowers that have enough deposit to bear the cost that assessed by the Bank are except;

    • d. The bank knows (if it has received the notice from court) that the collaterals are compulsory executed by other banks;

    • f. The letter of credit insurance fund notice due to the related company's overdue debt in other bank, the creditor to stop the delivery;

    • g. Because the borrowers have been involved in litigation and unfavorable judgments, their ability of credit performance is affected;

    • others.

  • B. Debt instrument investments

    • a. The latest credit rating on the report date was non-investment grade and fell more than two levels than the original rating, or;

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

credit asset during the expected duration of existence or a low credit risk. The amount of expected credit losses was not taken as the change of credit risk, if the credit risk of the credit asset was low on the report date, it also assumes that the credit risk of the credit asset has not increased significantly since the initial recognition. The credit assets with low credit risk refer to the low default risk and the borrower's ability to perform its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term. No significant increase in risk relates to the borrower. The absence of economic, operational, and adverse changes in financial conditions and other bad debt conditions did not affect their ability to fulfill their contractual cash flow obligations. Financial assets on investment-grade or not on investment-grade but the ratings are not significantly reduced are also considered to be low-risk areas.

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

280

Taiwan Business Bank Annual Report 2020

impaired not only the borrower defaults the loan more than 90 days, it also includes observable data as follows:

  • (6) Write-off policy

The integral part or the portion of the credit assets that needs to be written-off should first be approved during the board of directors' meeting; particularly, the portion that is deemed uncollectible.

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

  • B. After the collateral and the assets of the principal and subordinate debtors have been priced low or deducted from the first-order mortgage, they cannot be repaid, the execution costs are close or may exceed the Bank's reimbursable amount, and the implementation is not beneficial.

  • C. The collateral and the property of the principal and subordinate debtors were auctioned off at no cost and were not bought by anyone, and there was no one have substantial benefits.

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

    • The Bank, whose written-off claims may still have ongoing recourse, continues to follow laws and regulations to pursue the proceedings.

in negotiating, increasing the recovery rate of the borrowers that have problems, or maintaining the customer relationship. The modification of the contractual terms of the credit asset may include extending the contract period, modifying the payment time of interest, and modifying agreement rate and so on. If the contractual cash flow modification of the credit asset is due to the financial difficulty of the borrower, it is deemed as an impairment of the financial asset. If the contractual cash flow modification is not due to the financial difficulties of the borrower, the existing or projected unfavorable changes in the operating, financial or economic conditions under the borrower's performance or the borrower's ability to make the borrower's ability to perform its debt obligations vary significantly. The cause of anomalies or other bad debts is supplemented by an assessment of whether the credit risk of financial assets has increased significantly.

281

  • (8) Measuring the expected credit losses

  • A. Adoption of methods and assumptions

experience, internal historical data or the information from external credit rating agency is used to estimate the Probability of default (PD), Loss given default (LGD), Exposure at default (EAD) and other credit risk components.

In order to assess the expected credit losses of credit assets, the Bank is divided into the following combinations depending on the credit risk characteristics such as the identity of borrowers, products, and type of collateral:

credit asset has low credit risk at the reporting date, the Bank shall measure the allowance for impairment using the 12-month expected credit losses; if the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly or credit-impaired since initial recognition, the Bank shall measure the allowance for impairment using the lifetime expected credit losses.

In order to measure expected credit losses, the Bank considers the default probability (Probability of default, "PD") of borrowers, and loss given default rate ("LGD") multiplying the exposure at default ("EAD"), taking into account the time value of money as well evaluate 12-month and lifetime loss.

Default probability is the default probability of the borrower (default and credit impairment of financial assets), and the loss given default rate is the rate of loss caused by default by the borrower. The default probability and default loss rate used in the impairment assessment of the credit business are based on internal historical information of each group, and adjusted based on current observable information and forward-looking general economic information.

The Bank measures the EAD based on the book value of loans at reporting date. When estimating the 12-month and lifetime expected credit losses of the loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts, the definition of the credit risk increasing significantly and the credit-impaired assets are based on the rules mentioned above. Additionally, in order to determine the EAD used to calculate expected credit loss of off-balance sheet items, the Bank adopts the credit conversion factor(CCF) of standardized approach in credit risk which is legislated in the regulation of Proprietary Capital and Risk Capital of Banks.

  • B. Consideration of forward-looking information

The Bank obtains forward-looking information which it takes into consideration when determining whether the credit risk of financial instruments has increased significantly since initial recognition

282

Taiwan Business Bank Annual Report 2020

and assessing the expected credit losses. The Bank identified the relevant macroeconomic factors for credit risk of each portfolio by analyzing the historically data. These macroeconomic factors include Taiwan GDP (not seasonally adjusted), Taiwan's actual industrial production index, Taiwan's annual growth rate of retail sales, Taiwan's real sales price index, unemployment rate (seasonally adjusted), Cathay National Real Estate Index (national), Taiwan's real consumer price index (Not seasonally adjusted) and Taiwan's annual growth in retail sales or other factors. The various economic factors and their impacts on Probability of Default ("PD") are different depending on the type of financial instruments.

==> picture [49 x 126] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [28 x 19] intentionally omitted <==

In order to determine the credit risk of investment in debt instruments at amortized cost and at fair value through other comprehensive income has increased significantly, the Bank uses the changes of external ratings published by international credit rating agencies as the quantitative indicators, while the assessment of expected credit losses are calculated by using the external ratings, as well as PD and Loss Given Default("LGD"), published by Moody's. Since the international credit rating agencies have already considered the forward-looking information while evaluating the credit ratings, which the Bank considered to be appropriate after its assessment, the credit ratings will be included in the Bank's assessment of related expected credit losses.

  • (9) Credit risk hedging or diminishing.

  • A. Collaterals

The Bank adopts a series of policies and procedures to mitigate credit risk and enhance credit risk tolerance. The method applied most is to request customers to provide collaterals. The Bank established collateral accreditation code of conduct in term of collateral management and total loan amount to regulate the scope of collaterals and the accreditation method and regularly inspects the collaterals. When the collaterals devaluate or the concern of devaluation occurs, the Bank shall increase collaterals or retrieve part of the loans to ensure the creditor's right is intact.

  • B. Limit of credit risk and the control of credit risk concentration

  • a.

(D) In 1996, the Bank' s World Trade Center Branch was sued for handling a letter of credit export collection from Chin Seen Industrial Co., which allegedly used a forged export document and failed to ship the goods to the importer, the International Comagnie de Commercialization et d' Invertissement (I.C.C.I.) of the Republic of Zaire, suffered a loss thereon. In November 1998, I.C.C.I. initiated a case with the Court of Commerce of Brussels in Belgium, requested the L/C opening bank (Banque Bruxelles Lambert, or BBL) and the Bank to jointly pay compensation of USD$7,830 thousand plus interest, losses, and expenses for the L/C. On August 31, 2005, the Court of Commerce of Brussels rendered its judgment which the Bank has to make compensation of USD$7,674 thousand plus interest to I.C.C.I.. The Bank has engaged a local attorney in Belgium to formally file an appeal. In February 2011, Court of Appeal in Brussels had made an intermediate adjudication which I.C.C.I and the Bank are both responsible for the offense. Furthermore, on November 16, 2011, the judgment of the court indicated that the Bank should be responsible for 90% of the negligence proportion. In terms of the judgment of the court of the second instance, the Bank has filed an appeal on November 3, 2011. On February 6, 2013, the court overruled the Bank' s appeal and the Bank lost the case. However, the Bank and I.C.C.I couldn't reach an agreement on the exchange rate and the calculation of the compensation. In October 2016,

I.C.C.I initiated a case with the Court of Frankfurt in Germany, applied for seizing the Bank account in Germany, and the Bank lodged guaranty money of EUR $13,200 thousand to the court to rescind the order for attachment. In July 2017, I.C.C.I applied for compulsory execution to the guaranty money, the court has transferred the guaranty money to I.C.C.I. The Bank then filed a lawsuit objecting to the debt through the attorney. The case was dismissed by the Court of Frankfurt in November 2018, and remanded back to trial court in November 2019 after the Bank's appeal was granted by the High Court of Frankfurt. I.C.C.I. has filed a statement of grounds for objection to the German Federal Court on March 16, 2019. And request to revoke the "Return of the Judgment of the Frankfurt High Court". The German Federal Court requires the Bank to file a defense against I.C.C.I. of objections before July 16, 2019. The Bank has appointed a lawyer to act as an attorney in the German Federal Court and raised a pleading. In October and November 2019, the Bank received subpoenas from the court of the Democratic Republic of Congo by a third person Star Marine, who demanded I.C.C.I to pay USD$1,130 thousand in compensation and held the Bank as jointly liable, and by I.C.C.I, which demanded the Bank to pay USD$20,060 thousand less its reimbursed amount to make a security deposit of EUR$14,000 thousand. The Bank has engaged local attorneys to represent itself in court. The Court of Congo will merge the two cases for court, and the next court session is undetermined. As of December 31, 2020, the Bank has accrued the compensation of $185,016 and EUR$8,000 thousand.

(11) Litigious or non-litigious matters

The World Trade Center Branch of the Bank carried out the outward collection project under the letter of credits for its customer Chi Seng Industrial Co., Ltd. in 1996, and it is suspected that the importer L' International Compagnie de Commercialisation et D'Investissement in the Republic of Zaire (hereinafter, 'I.C.C.I. Company') incurred losses due to Chi Seng Industrial Co., Ltd. holding counterfeit notes and has not performed the exports. The I.C.C.I. Company filed a prosecution to the Brussels Commercial Court in November 1998 and requested the issuing bank of the certificate and the Bank to make a joint compensation amounting to US$7.83 million, plus interests, losses, and fees. On August 31, 2005, the Court pronounced the judgment that the Bank shall make compensation of US$7.674 million plus interests to the I.C.C.I. Company. The Bank engaged a local attorney to file an appeal, and the Brussels Appellate Court had made its interlocutory judgment in February 2011, considering that both the Bank and I.C.C.I. Company had faults and made its judgment regarding the proportion of fault on November 16, 2011, sentencing that the Bank shall be responsible for 90% of the proportion of fault. The Bank lodged an appeal regarding the interlocutory judgment of the second instance on November 3, 2011; however, the Court of Final Appeal rejected the appeal from the Bank on February 6, 2013. Therefore, losing the lawsuit was confirmed. However, the Bank failed to achieve a consensus regarding the currency rate and calculation of compensation with I.C.C.I. Company. In October 2016, I.C.C.I. Company filed an application to the Frankfurt Court to impound the deposits of the Bank at the correspondent bank. The Bank immediately provided security deposits of €13.2 million to the Court to release the order. In July 2017, I.C.C.I. Company applied for the enforcement regarding the abovementioned security deposits, and the Court transferred such security deposits to I.C.C.I. Company without any consultations. Therefore, the Bank filed an

338

Taiwan Business Bank Annual Report 2020

appeal of debtor disagreement. However, the Frankfurt Court rejected the lawsuit of the Bank in November 2018. After another appeal by the Bank, the Frankfurt Supreme Court return the lawsuit to the first trial for remand in November 2019. On March 16, 2020, I.C.C.I. Company submitted a declaration for the reasons of objection to BVerfG for requesting the cancellation of "Verdict of Return for Remand by the Frankfurt Supreme Court." The BVerfG requested the Bank to provide its defense to the declaration for the reasons of objection submitted by I.C.C.I. Company before July 16, 2020. The Bank has engaged a lawyer as the representative for the lawsuit at the BVerfG to submit its defense. Furthermore, the Bank received notices of appearance from the court in Congo in October and November 2019, respectively, for the reason that (1) StarMarine Company, a third-party, required I.C.C.I to make a compensation of US$1.13 million, and required the Bank to bear the joint and several liabilities for compensation; and (2) I.C.C.I required the Bank to make a compensation of US$20.06 million for the loss of investment opportunity and business reputation (less the amount it had been repaid) and required the Bank to provide a guarantee of €14 million. The Bank had engaged local lawyers to serve the summon. The court in Congo merged the two cases for trial. In September and October 2020, documents from the Congo Court were twice served to the Bank in delay, resulting in the Bank's inability to sign and defend itself during the court period. Our lawyer in Congo had submitted petitions on October 28 and December 1, 2020 to the court to apply for the opening of the debate process. As of December 31, 2020, the Bank recognized compensation for losses of NT$183,923 thousand and €8 million.

3. Risks and Opportunities of Climate Change

In response to risks and opportunities brought by extreme weather, natural disasters, energy crisis, and low-carbon economy (LCE) transformation, TBB aligns its CSR report in 2020 with the structure of “Task Force on ClimateRelated Financial Disclosures (TCFD)” to carry out its information disclosures related to climate changes. TBB identified potential risks and opportunities of climate change and provided them to its business departments as the basis for making decisions on credit loans and investments. Furthermore, TBB evaluated the impacts of such risks and opportunities on TBB and its financial conditions through additional situational analysis; and established the corresponding action plan. At present, TBB has been preparing for the signing of TCFD.

4. TBB's Achievements in Promoting of Corporate Social Responsibility in 2020, divided into Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) categories, are described below:

(1) Environmental

  • A. Extension of Environmentally Friendly Enterprise Project Loans

In its advancement toward such sustainable environment goals as lowering energy consumption and reducing pollution, in addition to the implementation of corporate environmental protection in the review of loan applications, TBB will continuously promote project loans under the "Preferential Loans for the Procurement of Renewal Energy Equipment," "Machinery and Equipment Upgrading (Phase II) Loans," "Preferential Loans for Key Innovative Industries (Phase II)," and "Project Loans for Green Energy Sustainability" programs, in the hope of establishing a low-carbon economy, achieving the goal of sustainable social development, and generating a win-win for economic development and environmental protection.

  • B. Implementation of Carbon Reduction and Energy Conservation Policy to Stimulate Sustainable Environmental Development

  • a. TBB implemented its "Energy Policies" and "Measures for Water and Electricity Conservation" with scheduled follow-up on the status of water and electricity conservation by different units and inclusion of the results in business performance assessments. Various energy conservation improvement programs were vigorously implemented in order to enhance the energy efficiency of equipment and save on electricity costs.

351

  • b. In 2020, the second replacing work for lightings at all offices of TBB was conducted, where the latest LED Energy Label lighting announced during 2020 was adopted. TBB replaced over 28,000 lights, greatly reducing the electricity used for lighting at business premises. About 3.54 million kilowatt-hours are saved annually, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 1,845 metric tons — equivalent to the planting of 168,000 trees a year, enough to develop 4.7 Da'an Forest Parks. By doing so, TBB contributes to energy conservation and carbon reduction and the protects the environment.

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