Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors of Taiwan Business Bank Ltd.:
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Taiwan Business Bank Ltd. (“the Bank”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, 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.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Bank as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 Regulation Governing the preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits of the current period in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, Jin-Kuan-Yin-Zi No.1082731571 and Standards on Auditing of 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
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the 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. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
The assessment of loans impairment
Please refer to Note (4) (e) “Financial Instruments” for related accounting policy, Note 5 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.

Description of key audit matter :
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 verified the completeness of the loans portfolio via sampling. Meanwhile, we assessed the impaired amounts recognized by the management were in compliance with the related regulations issued by authority.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by 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.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Bank's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Bank 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's financial reporting process.
Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
KPMG
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
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.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
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.
KPMG
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 Lee, Feng-Hui and Tsai, Pei-Ju.

TAIWAN BUSINESS BANK LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
(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, 2025, 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 15 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, 2025 and 2024, the Bank has 5,819 and 5,687 employees, respectively.
(2) Approval date and procedures of the financial statements:
These financial statements were authorized for issuance by the board of directors on February 26, 2026.
(3) New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted:
(a) The impact of the IFRS Accounting Standards endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C. which have already been adopted.
The Bank has initially adopted the following new amendments, which do not have a significant impact on its financial statements, from January 1, 2025:
- Amendments to IAS21 “Lack of Exchangeability”
(Continued)

TAIWAN BUSINESS BANK LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
(b) The impact of IFRS Accounting Standards endorsed by the FSC but not yet effective
The Bank assesses that the adoption of the following new amendments, effective for annual period beginning on January 1, 2026, would not have a significant impact on its financial statements:
- IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” and amendments to IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts”
- Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 “Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments”
- Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards—Volume 11
- Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 “Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity”
(c) The impact of IFRS Accounting Standards issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC
The following new and amended standards, which may be relevant to the Bank, have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), but have yet to be endorsed by the FSC:
| Standards or Interpretations | Content of amendment | Effective date per IASB |
|---|---|---|
| IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” | The new standard introduces three categories of income and expenses, two income statement subtotals and one single note on management performance measures. The three amendments, combined with enhanced guidance on how to disaggregate information, set the stage for better and more consistent information for users, and will affect all the entities. |
• A more structured income statement: under current standards, companies use different formats to present their results, making it difficult for investors to compare financial performance across companies. The new standard promotes a more structured income statement, introducing a newly defined ‘operating profit’ subtotal and a requirement for all income and expenses to be allocated between three new distinct categories based on a company’s main business activities. | January 1, 2027
Note: On September 25, 2025, the FSC issued a press release announcing that Taiwan will adopt IFRS 18 beginning in 2028. Entities that need to adopt the new standard earlier may do with the endorsement of the FSC. |
(Continued)
10
TAIWAN BUSINESS BANK LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
| Standards or Interpretations | Content of amendment | Effective date per IASB |
|---|---|---|
| • Management performance measures (MPMs): the new standard introduces a definition for management performance measures, and requires companies to explain in a single note to the financial statements why the measure provides useful information, how it is calculated and reconcile it to an amount determined under IFRS Accounting Standards. | ||
| • Greater disaggregation of information: the new standard includes enhanced guidance on how companies group information in the financial statements. This includes guidance on whether information is included in the primary financial statements or is further disaggregated in the notes. |
The Bank is evaluating the impact on its financial position and financial performance upon the initial adoption of the abovementioned standards or interpretations. The results thereof will be disclosed when the Bank completes its evaluation.
The Bank does not expect the following other new and amended standards, which have yet to be endorsed by the FSC, to have a significant impact on its financial statements:
- Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets Between an Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture”
- IFRS 19 “Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures” and amendments to IFRS 19 “Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures”
- Amendments to IAS 21 “Translation to a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency”
(4) Summary of material accounting policies:
The material accounting policies presented in the financial statements are summarized below. Except for those specifically indicated, the following accounting policies were applied consistently throughout the periods presented in the financial statements.
(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 and the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Report by Securities Firms (hereinafter referred to as the “Regulation”).
(Continued)
11
TAIWAN BUSINESS BANK LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
(b) Basis of preparation
(i) Basis of measurement
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for the following material items in the statement of financial position:
1) Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value;
2) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value;
3) Hedging financial instruments are measured at fair value;
4) The defined benefit liabilities (assets) are measured at fair value of the plan assets less the present value of the defined benefit obligation, limited as explained in Note 4(k).
(ii) Consolidation of financial statement
The financial statements include the headquarter and all the domestic branches and foreign branches. The internal transactions within the headquarter, the domestic branches and the foreign branches are offset when preparing the financial statement.
(iii) 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 currencies
(i) Foreign currency transactions
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 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.
(Continued)
12
TAIWAN BUSINESS BANK LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
(ii) Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into the presentation currency at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency at the average exchange rate. Exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence, or joint control is lost, 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. When the Bank disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non controlling interests. When the Bank disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.
When the settlement of a monetary receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, Exchange differences arising from such a monetary item that are considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation are recognized in other comprehensive income.
(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.
(i) Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis or a settlement date basis.
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost; fair value through 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.
(Continued)
13
TAIWAN BUSINESS BANK LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
1) Investment in debt instruments measured at amortized cost
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost 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 to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
- its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) 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
- its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal 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.
(Continued)
14
TAIWAN BUSINESS BANK LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
3) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
All financial assets not classified as amortized cost or FVOCI described as above are measured at 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.
5) Impairment of financial assets
The Bank recognizes 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
- 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 financial instrument.
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.
(Continued)
15
TAIWAN BUSINESS BANK LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
When determining whether the credit risk of financial asset has increased significantly since initial 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. ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
At each reporting date, the Bank 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:
- significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;
- 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;
- it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;
- the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties; or
- to purchase or initiate financial assets at a substantial discount that reflects the credit losses that have occurred.
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying 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:
- 1% of the first class credit assets deducted by the amount of credit assets from the government.
- 2% of the second class credit assets.
- 10% of the third class credit assets.
(Continued)
16
TAIWAN BUSINESS BANK LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
- 50% of the fourth class credit assets.
- 100% of the fifth 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 the board of directors and notification to supervisors, the excess amount of written off loans over such allowance or reserve is reflected as a current loss.
(ii) Financial liabilities
Financial liability measured at fair value through profit or loss, if one of the following conditions is met
1) Financial liabilities held for trading
A financial liability is held for trading if it is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling 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.
2) Financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss
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.
(iii) Reclassification of financial instruments
The Bank only reclassified all affected financial assets in accordance with the regulations when changing the business model of managing financial assets. These changes are expected to be extremely infrequent. In addition, the Bank must not reclassify any financial assets and liabilities of equity instruments.
If the Bank reclassify financial assets in accordance with the aforesaid circumstances, 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.
(Continued)
17
TAIWAN BUSINESS BANK LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
(iv) Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities
The Bank derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Bank neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.
The Bank enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized in its statement of balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognized.
The Bank derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Bank also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.
On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.
(v) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of balance sheet when, and only when, the Bank currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(f) Impairment loss on non-financial assets
The Bank 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.
Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
(g) Property, plant and equipment
(i) 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.
If significant parts of an item of property and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.
(ii) Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Bank.
(iii) Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on the cost of an asset less its residual value and is recognized in profit or 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 reviews and adjusts the residual value and the useful lives of assets at the end of each annual reporting date and adjusted it appropriate.
(h) Investment in associates
The Bank uses the equity method to evaluate an investee that it controls in preparing the financial statements. 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 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.
(i) Leases
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
(i) As a leasee
The Bank 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.
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:
- fixed payments, including in substance fixed payments;
- 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 estimates 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
- there are any lease modifications
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.
(Continued)
20
TAIWAN BUSINESS BANK LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
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 recognizes in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease.
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.
(ii) As a leasor
When the Bank 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 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) 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. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as financial cost.
(k) Employee benefits
(i) Short term employee benefit
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.
(ii) Retirement benefit
The pension provision of the Bank includes defined contribution plan and defined benefit 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 annually provides certain amount of money to funds to fulfill the obligation. The Bank provides 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 does not hold legal or constructive obligation to pay additional provision. The Bank recognizes the pension fund provided as current pension cost on accrual basis.
(Continued)
21
TAIWAN BUSINESS BANK LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The Bank’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each 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 is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When 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. An economic benefit is available to the Bank if it is realizable during the life of the plan, or on settlement of the plan liabilities.
If the benefits of a plan are improved, the pension cost incurred from the portion of the increase benefit relating to past service by employees, is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
The remeasurements of defined benefit liability (asset) include:
1) Actuarial gains and losses;
2) Return on plan assets, excluding net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset); and
3) The effect of the asset ceiling, excluding net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset).
The remeasurements of defined benefit liability (asset) are recognized as other comprehensive income 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 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.
(iii) Deposits with favorable rate
The Bank 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.
(Continued)
22
TAIWAN BUSINESS BANK LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
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.
In accordance with the regulation of “Discussion of the employee benefit actuarial assumption related matter for adopting IAS 19 with respect to the additional interest of employee deposits with favorable rate” issued by the Banking Bureau, the difference between the actual payment and the estimated retirement benefit obligation is deemed as changes in accounting estimate and is recognized in profit or loss.
(iv) Termination benefits
Termination benefits are recognized as an obligation when the Bank is demonstrably 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 recognizes 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.
(l) Income taxes
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.
The Bank has determined that the global minimum top-up tax – which it is required to pay under Pillar Two legislation – is an income tax in the scope of IAS 12. The Bank has applied a temporary mandatory relief from deferred tax accounting for the impacts of the top-up tax and accounts for it as a current tax when it is incurred.
Current taxes comprise the expected tax payables or receivables on the taxable profits(losses) for the year 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 tax assets are recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realized.
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.

(m) 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 receives cash, the revenue is recognized.
The revenue of handling fee is recognized when cash collected or when the process of the profit are mostly 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.
(n) Earnings per share (EPS)
The Bank 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.
(o) Segment information
The Bank has already disclosed segment information in the Bank’s consolidated financial statements; thus, this financial statements would not disclose segment information.
(5) Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty:
In preparing the financial statements, management has made judgments and estimates about the future, including climate-related risks and opportunities, 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.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are consistent with the Bank’s risk management and climate-related commitments where appropriate. Revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively in the period of the change and future periods.
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial reporting period is as follow.
Impairment losses on loans
The impairment of loans of the Bank were 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.
(Continued)
24
TAIWAN BUSINESS BANK LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
The Bank issued $120,000 and $180,000 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:
| Bonds | Terms of Transactions | Bond Issued | ||||

(iv) Uncertainty over income tax treatments
For tax returns that have not yet been assessed, the Bank has assessed relevant factors, including relevant IFRIC interpretations and historical experience, and believe that sufficient income tax liabilities have been estimated.
(v) The Bank’s income tax have been approved by the tax authorities to the year 2023. However, for the years 2020 and 2022 are still pending approval. Due to differing interpretations between the Bank and the tax authorities regarding the 2023 corporate income tax, the Bank disagreed with the examination results and has requested a reexamination.
(vi) Global minimum top-up tax
The Bank has applied a temporary mandatory relief from deferred tax accounting for the impacts of the top-up tax and accounts for it as a current tax when it is incurred.
Some of the overseas branches have enacted new legislation to implement the global minimum top-up tax, with Australia effective from January 1, 2024, Japan effective from April 1, 2024, and Hong Kong effective from January 1, 2025. Preliminary assessments indicate that various tax jurisdictions can pass the global minimum top-up tax safe harbor test, and it is expected that no supplementary taxes under the minimum top-up tax will be required. However, as of December 31, 2025, the Bank has not yet obtained sufficient information to determine the quantitative impact and the tax region status brought about by Global minimum top-up tax.

| Amount on December 31 | $ 1,046,456 | 1,066,724 |
6) Actuarial assumptions
The principal actuarial assumptions at the reporting date were as follow :
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate | 1.25 % | 1.45 % |
| Future salary increase rate | 1.50 % | 1.50 % |
The expected allocation payment made by the Bank to the defined benefit plans for the one-year after the reporting date is $240,000.
The weighted average lifetime of the defined benefit plans is 6 years.
7) Sensitivity analysis
The effects of changes in major actuarial assumptions adopted in defined benefit obligation on December 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows :
| Influence of defined benefit plan obligation | ||
|---|---|---|
| Increase 0.25% | Decrease 0.25% | |
| December 31, 2025 | ||
| Discount rate(Change 0.25%) | (1.49)% | 1.53 % |
| Future salary increase rate(Change 0.25%) | 1.45 % | (1.42)% |
| December 31, 2024 | ||
| Discount rate(Change 0.25%) | (1.52)% | 1.56 % |
| Future salary increase rate(Change 0.25%) | 1.49 % | (1.46)% |
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 2025 and 2024.

(an) Financial Instruments
(i) 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
2) The definition of fair value hierarchy
a) Level 1
The input of this level is quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments. The 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, the beneficiary certificates 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 such as government bonds, corporate bonds, financial debentures, convertible corporate bonds and derivative instruments, including financial debentures the Bank issued 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 the fact that their fair market value cannot be directly calculated. The equity instruments with no active market which the Bank invested are Level 3.

b) Valuation techniques used in estimating the fair values of financial instruments
If the financial instruments have quoted price in an active market, the quoted price is regarded as 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.

TAIWAN BUSINESS BANK LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
Except for the above financial instruments of quoted price in an active market, 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 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 financial asset’s fair value is estimated on the basis of the result of a valuation technique, 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 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 is calculated based upon the quote from the counterparty, and separately calculated in accordance with the contracts.
c) Adjustment for fair value
i) 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 are after careful assessment, and are appropriately adjusted according to the current market situation.
ii) 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.
(Continued)
64
TAIWAN BUSINESS BANK LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
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 assesses 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
For the years ended December 31, 2025, financial assets measured at fair value with a carrying amount of $107,090,090 were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 due to the fact that the fair value is not measured directly by quoted market prices.
e) Changes in financial assets which were classified to Level 3 based on fair value measurement
Changes of financial assets categorized in Level 3:

g) Quantified information of the fair value measurement of significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
The Bank financial instruments that use Level 3 inputs to measure fair value include financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. Without active market quotation, the Bank and subsidiaries takes professional financial information vendors and widely used by market participants for evaluation or counterparty quotation as reference. The unobservable inputs are as follows :

h) Sensitivity analysis of reasonably possible alternative assumptions for fair value measurement in Level 3.
Valuation techniques used by the Bank for fair value measurements of financial instruments are appropriate. However, the use of different valuation models or inputs could lead to different outcomes of fair value measurements. The following are the impact on the other comprehensive profit and loss if using different assumptions:
i) Assets approach/ Market approach
The evaluation methods of Level 3 financial instruments of the Bank are mainly based on the market approach or the assets approach. If the liquidity discount changes by 5% upwards or downwards, the impact on the other comprehensive profit and loss is as follows:
| the effects to the net income and other comprehensive income | ||
|---|---|---|
| Favorable changes (-5%) | Unfavorable changes (5%) | |
| December 31, 2025 | ||
| Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss | ||

ii) Income approach
Adopting the income approach to evaluate Level 3 financial instruments of the Bank. The evaluation parameters are divided into sustainable growth rate and cost of equity capital. The effects of the two evaluation parameters on the other comprehensive profit and loss are as follows:
- sustainable growth rate
| the effects to other comprehensive income | ||
|---|---|---|
| Favorable changes (0.3%) | Unfavorable changes (-0.3%) | |
| December 31, 2025 | ||

The favorable and unfavorable effects represent the changes in fair value, and fair value is based on a variety of unobservable inputs calculated using a valuation technique. The analysis above only reflects the effects of changes in a single input, and it does not include the interrelationships with another input.

Notes to the Financial Statements
c) Valuation techniques
Methods and assumptions used by the Bank for fair value evaluation of financial instruments were as follows:
i) 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.
ii) 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.
iii) 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.
- Central Government Securities (NTD): using the comment of “Bonds a fair price for each of times” from Taipei Exchange.
- 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.

a) Credit Business (Including loan commitments and guarantees)
The categorization and credit quality rating of credit assets are as follows:
i) Categorization of credit assets
The credit assets are classified into 5 categories. Except for normal credit assets which are classified 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.

(Continued)
73
TAIWAN BUSINESS BANK LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
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.
c) Debt instrument investments and derivative financial instruments
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.
The financial institutions which the Bank conducts derivative instruments are mostly investment quality 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.
3) Determining the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition
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 considers 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
i) The borrowers failed to pay the principal and interest overdue for more than 30 days, less than 90 days;
ii) 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;
(Continued)
74
TAIWAN BUSINESS BANK LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
iii) 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 is except;
iv) The bank knows (if it has received the notice from court) that the collaterals are compulsory executed by other banks;
v) Borrowers were notified the refund by the Bank and did not conduct refund notice;
vi) The letter of credit insurance fund notice due to the related company’s overdue debt in other bank, the creditor to stop the delivery;
vii) Because the borrowers have been involved in litigation and unfavorable judgments, their ability of credit performance is affected;
viii) The customer is classified as an early warning account by the Bank or has bad credit that aware by others.
b) Debt instrument investments
i) The latest credit rating on the report date was non-investment grade and fell more than two levels than the original rating, or;
ii) Investment target evaluation loss is up to 30% of investment cost.
4) The credit risk has not increased significantly or judged as low credit risk on the report date
On each report date, the Bank assessed that there was no significant increase in 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
5) Definitions of default and credit-impaired financial assets
A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the 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:
a) Credit assets
i) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;
ii) A breach of contract, such as a default or past due event;
iii) 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;
iv) It is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;
v) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;
vi) The purchase or origination of a financial asset at a considerable amount of discount that reflects the incurred credit losses;
b) Debt instrument investments
i) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer;
ii) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;
iii) The purchase or origination of a financial asset at a considerable amount of discount that reflects the incurred credit losses.
iv) 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
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.
The following are indicators that the financial assets are uncollectible:
a) The borrowers fail to recover all or part of the debt due to dissolution, escape, settlement, bankruptcy or other reasons.
(Continued)
76
TAIWAN BUSINESS BANK LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
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.
7) Modification of contractual cash flow of financial assets
The Bank 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
After considering the attributes of financial assets and credit assets and the adequacy of default 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.
(Continued)
77
TAIWAN BUSINESS BANK LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
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:
| Corporate banking | Government and public institution | |
|---|---|---|
| Financial institution (including banks, ticket companies, securities finance companies) | ||
| Large Enterprise | The guarantee of the credit guarantee mechanism | |
| Secured | ||
| Non-secured | ||
| Medium and small enterprises | The guarantee of the credit guarantee mechanism | |
| Secured | ||
| Non-secured | ||
| Private banking | Mortgage | |
| Microcredit | ||
| Other-Secured | ||
| Other-Non-secured | ||
| Entrepreneurship | The guarantee of the credit guarantee mechanism | |
| Secured | ||
| Non-secured |
If the credit risk on a credit asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition or the 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.
(Continued)
78
TAIWAN BUSINESS BANK LTD.
Notes to the Financial Statements
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 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) and Taiwan’s real consumer price index (Not seasonally adjusted) 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 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 devalue 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
i) 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.
ii) 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 deposits, securities and the guarantee of financial institution or the credit guarantee mechanism approved by government.

Notes to the Financial Statements
(d) In 1996, the Bank’s World Trade Center Branch was sued for handling a letter of credit export collection from Chin Seen Industrial Ltd., 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, who suffered a loss thereon. In November 1998, I.C.C.I. initiated a case with the Court of Commerce of Brussels in Belgium, requesting the L/C opening bank (Banque Bruxelles Lambert, or BBL) and the Bank to jointly pay compensation of USD$7,830, plus interest, losses, and expenses for the L/C. On August 31, 2005, the Court of Commerce of Brussels ordered the Bank has to compensate for the damage of USD$7,674, plus interest to I.C.C.I. Disatisfied with the decision made by the court, 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 wherein both I.C.C.I and the Bank were responsible for the offense. Furthermore, on November 16, 2011, the court ruled that the Bank should be responsible for 90% of the negligence proportion. In terms of the decision made by the court on the second instance, the Bank has filed an appeal on November 3, 2011, in which the court ruled against the Bank on February 6, 2013. Since the Bank and I.C.C.I could not reach an agreement on the exchange rate and the calculation of the compensation, I.C.C.I filed an appeal to the Court of Frankfurt in Germany in October 2016, demanding for the Bank’s account in Germany to be seized, in which the Bank lodged the guaranty amount of EUR13,200 to the court to rescind the order for attachment.
In July 2017, I.C.C.I applied for compulsory execution to the guaranty amount, which was transferred to I.C.C.I. by the court. The Bank then filed a lawsuit objecting to the debt through the attorney, in which the case was dismissed by the Court of Frankfurt in November 2018 and remanded back for reconsideration in November 2019 after the Bank’s appeal was granted by the High Court of Frankfurt. On March 16, 2019, I.C.C.I. has filed a statement of grounds for objection and requested the Frankfurt High Court to revoke its ruling, wherein the Bank has appointed a lawyer to act as an attorney in the Federal Supreme Court of Justice to defend its case, which is currently being tried by the Regional Court of Frankfurt. The Federal Supreme Court of Justice has denied the I.C.C.I interlocutory appeal on May 20, 2021. The Frankfurt District Court ruled in favor of the Bank in the first instance on August 23, 2023. Moreover, I.C.C.I. was ordered to pay the Bank the amount of EUR1,046, plus interest, on November 17, 2017, wherein it disagreed with the ruling and filed an appeal on September 25, 2023. The High Court of Frankfurt dismissed the appeal on July 11, 2024. On April 4, 2025, the appointed attorney confirmed that I.C.C.I did not file an appeal to the Federal Court of Justice. Consequently, this judgment in favor of our bank is now conclusive and binding.
Also, 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 the damage of USD1,130, and held the Bank jointly liable. I.C.C.I, in turn, demanded the Bank to pay the amount of USD20,060, less its reimbursed amount, to make a security deposit of EUR14,000. In light of the above matter, the Bank has engaged local attorneys to represent itself in the Court of Congo, who will merge the two cases as one. In April 2021, the Court of Congo demanded the Bank to pay the approximate amount of EUR20,060 to I.C.C.I., who will have to compensate Star Marine the damage amounting to USD1,130, as well as make a security deposit of EUR14,000 in the domestic bank in Congo. According to the statement of plaintiff and considering that I.C.C.I has already received the amount of EUR14,860, an addition provision for lawsuit amounting to $76,908 has been made in 2021. Please refer to Note 6(u) for more details. As of December 31, 2025, the Bank has accrued the compensation of $261,924 and EUR$9,660.
