Taichung Commercial Bank Co., Ltd.

Financial Statements for the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and Independent Auditors’ Report

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Taichung Commercial Bank Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Taichung Commercial Bank Co., Ltd. (the “Bank”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the 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, 2019 and 2018, 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 Banks.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Bank in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for 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 for the year ended December 31, 2019. 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.

The following were the descriptions of the key audit matter in the audit of the financial statements of the Bank for the year ended December 31, 2019:

Expected Credit Losses of Notes Discounted and Loans, Net

As described in Notes 13 and 29 to the financial statements, notes discounted and loans amounted to $434,469,364 thousand, which accounted for 64% of total assets at December 31, 2019 and the expected credit losses of notes discounted and loans amounted to $509,127 thousand, which accounted for 5% of total net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019. Due to the large amount, such accounts have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Bank. As discussed in Note 5 to the financial statements, the measurement of expected credit losses of notes discounted and loans involved various financial factors, such as probability of default and loss given default, which required compliance with

• 1 -

relevant laws and regulations. Therefore, the expected credit loss of notes discounted and loans was identified as a key audit matter.

The relevant accounting policies, estimate, assumptions and other information are referred to in Notes 4, 5, 13 and 29 to the financial statements.

The main audit procedures performed for the expected credit losses of notes discounted and loans were as follows:

• We understood and tested the internal controls for the expected credit losses of notes discounted and loans of the Bank.

• We selected samples from schedule of expected credit losses of notes discounted and loans assessed by the Bank, and evaluated the value of collateral and feasibility of the expected credit losses.

• We understood and tested the key parameters (such as probability of default and loss given default) for the expected credit losses of notes discounted and loans assessed by the Bank to evaluate the reasonableness of expected credit losses in accordance with the current experience and economic situation in the Republic of China.

• We checked the Bank’s compliance with relevant regulations issued by authorities on assessment of the expected credit losses.

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 Banks, 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 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.

• 2 -

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

1. 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.

2. 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.

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

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Bank to express an opinion on the 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 for the year ended December 31, 2019 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018 (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise)

TAICHUNG COMMERCIAL BANK CO., LTD.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Taichung Commercial Bank Co., Ltd. (the “Bank”), formerly known as Taichung District Association Saving Co., Ltd. (Taichung District Association) was established on September 27, 1952 by the Taiwan Provincial Government. It was incorporated in April of 1953 and opened in August of the same year. In July of 1975, the Banking Law was revised and implemented. On January 1, 1978, the Taichung District Association Saving Co., Ltd. (Taichung District Association) was restructured into Taichung SME Bank Co., Ltd. (Taichung SME Bank) and the shares were listed on May 15, 1984.

In line with the national financial policy to provide public and social financial services and support the economic construction as well as the development of industrial and commercial, Taichung SME Bank was renamed as Taichung Commercial Bank Co., Ltd. in December 1998. As of December 31, 2019, the Bank had a business department, a trust department, a foreign exchange transaction department, 81 domestic branches, a Malaysia Labuan branch and an offshore banking unit (OBU). The operations of the Bank consist of planning, managing, operating a trust business and overseas financial business. These operations are regulated under the Bank Law of the Republic of China (“ROC”).

At the time of the establishment, the amount of capital invested by the Bank was $500 thousand. In order to improve the capital structure and cooperate with the government decree, the Bank has successively applied for increase and decrease of capital. As of December 31, 2019, the Bank’s capital amount was $37,088,349 thousand.

The financial statements are presented in the Bank’s functional currency, the New Taiwan dollar.

2. APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements were approved by the Bank’s board of directors on February 25, 2020.

3. APPLICATION OF NEW, AMENDED AND REVISED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

• a. Initial application of the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Banks, and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), Interpretations of IFRIC (IFRIC), and Interpretations of SIC (SIC) (collectively, the “IFRSs”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC).

Except for the following, the initial application of the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Banks and the IFRSs endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC did not have material impact on the Bank’s accounting policies:

 IFRS 16 “Leases”

IFRS 16 provides a comprehensive model for the identification of lease arrangements and their treatment in the financial statements of both lessee and lessor. It supersedes IAS 17 “Leases”, IFRIC 4 “Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease”, and a number of related interpretations. Refer to Note 4 for information relating to the relevant accounting policies.

• 13 -

Definition of a lease

The Bank elects to apply the guidance of IFRS 16 in determining whether contracts are, or contain a lease only to contracts entered into (or changed) on or after January 1, 2019. Contracts identified as containing a lease under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 are not reassessed and are accounted for in accordance with the transitional provisions under IFRS 16.

The Bank as lessee

The Bank recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases on the balance sheets except for those whose payments under low-value asset and short-term leases are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis. On the statements of comprehensive income, the Bank presents the depreciation expense charged on right-of-use assets separately from the interest expense accrued on lease liabilities; interest is computed using the effective interest method. On the statements of cash flows, cash payments for the principal portion of lease liabilities are classified within financing activities; cash payments for the interest portion are classified within operating activities. Prior to the application of IFRS 16, payments under operating lease contracts were recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis. Cash flows for operating leases were classified within operating activities on the statements of cash flows.

The Bank elected to apply IFRS 16 retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the initial application of this standard recognized in retained earnings on January 1, 2019. Comparative information was not restated.

Lease liabilities were recognized on January 1, 2019 for leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17. Lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate on January 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets are measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities. The Bank applies IAS 36 to all right-of-use assets.

The Bank also applies the following practical expedients:

• 1) The Bank applies a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics to measure lease liabilities.

• 2) The Bank accounts for those leases for which the lease term ends on or before December 31, 2019 as short-term leases.

• 3) The Bank excludes initial direct costs from the measurement of right-of-use assets on January 1, 2019.

• 4) The Bank uses hindsight, such as in determining lease terms, to measure lease liabilities.

• 14 -

The lessee’s weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities recognized on January 1, 2019 was 4.14%. The difference between the (i) lease liabilities recognized and (ii) operating lease commitments disclosed under IAS 17 on December 31, 2018 is explained as follows:

The future minimum lease payments of non-cancellable operating lease commitments on December 31, 2018 Less: Recognition exemption for short-term leases Less: Recognition exemption for leases of low-value assets Undiscounted amounts on January 1, 2019 Discounted amounts using the incremental borrowing rate on January 1, 2019 Add: Adjustments as a result of a different treatment of extension and termination options Lease liabilities recognized on January 1, 2019

$ 358,224 (1,916) (7,399) $ 348,909 $ 324,634 496,945 $ 821,579

The Bank as lessor

The Bank does not make any adjustments for leases in which it is a lessor and it accounts for those leases with the application of IFRS 16 starting from January 1, 2019.

The impact on assets, liabilities and equity as January 1, 2019 from the initial application of IFRS 16 is set out as follows:

		Adjustments
	As Originally	Arising from
	Stated on	Initial	Restated on
	January 1, 2019	Application	January 1, 2019
Right-of-use assets	$ -	$ 821,579	$ 821,579
Total effect on assets	$ -	$ 821,579	$ 821,579
Lease liabilities	$ -	$ 821,579	$ 821,579
Total effect on liabilities	$ -	$ 821,579	$ 821,579

Except for the above impact, as of the date the financial statements were authorized for issue, the Bank assessed the application of the standards above would not have any material impact on the Bank’s financial position and financial performance.

• b. The IFRSs endorsed by the FSC for application starting from 2020

New IFRSs Amendments to IFRS 3 “Definition of a Business” Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 “Interest Rate Benchmark Reform” Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 “Definition of Material”	Effective Date Announced by IASB
	January 1, 2020 (Note 1) January 1, 2020 (Note 2) January 1, 2020 (Note 3)

• Note 1: The Bank shall apply these amendments to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2020 and to asset acquisitions that occur on or after the beginning of that period.

• 15 -

• Note 2: The Bank shall apply these amendments retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020.

• Note 3: The Bank shall apply these amendments prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020.

Amendments to IFRS 3 “Definition of a Business”

The amendments clarify that, to be considered a business, an acquired set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process applied to the input that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The amendments narrow the definitions of outputs by focusing on goods and services provided to customers, and the reference to an ability to reduce costs is removed. Moreover, the amendments remove the assessment of whether market participants are capable of replacing any missing inputs or processes and continuing to produce outputs. In addition, the amendments introduce an optional concentration test that permits a simplified assessment of whether or not an acquired set of activities and assets is a business.

Except for the above impact, as of the date the financial statements were authorized for issue, the Bank is continuously assessing the possible impact that the application of other standards and interpretations will have on the Bank’s financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.

• c. New IFRSs in issue but not yet endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC

New IFRSs Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture” IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” Amendments to IAS 1 “Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current”	Effective Date Announced by IASB (Note)
	To be determined by IASB January 1, 2021 January 1, 2022

Note: Unless stated otherwise, the above New IFRSs are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after their respective effective dates.

As of the date the financial statements were authorized for issue, the Bank is continuously assessing the possible impact that the application of above standards and interpretations will have on the Bank’s financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

• a. Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Banks.

• b. Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.

• 16 -

The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, are described as follows:

• 1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

• 2) Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

• 3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.

• c. Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

Accounts included in the Bank’s financial statements are not classified as current or non-current but are stated in the order of their liquidity. Refer to Note 36 for the maturity analysis of assets and liabilities.

• d. Foreign currencies

In preparing the Bank’s financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the Bank’s functional currency (i.e. foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

Non-monetary items measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items are included in profit or loss for the period except for exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income; in which cases, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income.

Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

For the purpose of presenting financial statements, the functional currencies of the Bank is translated into the presentation currency, the New Taiwan dollar, as follows: Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period; and income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. The resulting currency translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

e. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits, time deposits that can be readily terminated without the deduction of principal, and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheets, due from the Central Bank and call loans to other banks and securities purchased under resell agreements that are in conformity with the definition of cash and cash equivalents in IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows”, as endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC.

• 17 -

• f. Bonds purchased under resell/notes issued under repurchase agreements

A bond purchased under resell/a note issued under repurchase agreements is considered as a financing transaction if the risk and reward are attributed to the dealer. When a bond is purchased under a resell agreement, its purchase price is listed as “bonds purchased under resell agreements”, an asset account. For a note issued under repurchase agreement, the selling price is listed as “notes issued under repurchase agreements”, a liability account. The difference between purchase (sale) price under the agreement and actual sale (purchase) price is recorded as interest income (expense).

• g. Investments in subsidiaries

The Bank uses the equity method to account for its investments in subsidiaries. A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity) that is controlled by the Bank.

Under the equity method, an investment in a subsidiary is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Bank’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the subsidiary. The Bank also recognizes the changes in the Bank’s share of equity of subsidiaries.

The Bank assesses its investment for any impairment by comparing the carrying amount with the estimated recoverable amount as assessed based on the investee’s financial statements as a whole. Impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases, the Bank recognizes a reversal of the impairment loss; the adjusted post-reversal carrying amount should not exceed the carrying amount that would have been recognized (net of amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized in prior years.

Profits or losses resulting from downstream transactions are eliminated in full in the Bank’s financial statements. Profits and losses resulting from upstream transactions and transactions between subsidiaries are recognized in the Bank’s financial statements only to the extent of interests in the subsidiaries that are not related to the Bank.

• h. Investments in associates

An associate is an entity over which the Bank has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture.

The Bank uses the equity method to account for its investments in associates.

Under the equity method, investments in an associate are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Bank’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. The Bank also recognizes the changes in the Bank’s share of the equity of associates attributable to the Bank.

The entire carrying amount of an investment is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill that forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

When the Bank transacts with its associate, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate are recognized in the Bank’s financial statements only to the extent that interests in the associate are not related to the Bank.

• 18 -

i. Property and equipment

Property and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.

Depreciation of property and equipment is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effects of any changes in the estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.

On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.

• j. Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation. Investment properties also include land held for a currently undetermined future use.

Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method.

On derecognition of an investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is included in profit or loss.

k. Intangible assets

• 1) Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives, residual values, and amortization methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in the estimates accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are measured at cost less accumulated impairment loss.

• 2) Derecognition of intangible assets

On derecognition of an intangible asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.

• l. Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill

At the end of each reporting period, the Bank reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered any impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Bank estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Corporate assets are allocated to the individual cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation, or conversely, the smallest group of cash-generating units on a reasonable basis.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually and whenever there is an indication that the assets may be impaired.

• 19 -

The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, with the resulting impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.

When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the corresponding asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized on the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

• m. Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Bank becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at FVTPL) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

• 1) Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

• a) Measurement categories

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at FVTPL, financial assets at amortized cost and investments in debt instruments and equity instruments at FVTOCI.

• i. Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when such a financial asset is mandatorily classified as at FVTPL. Financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL include investments in equity instruments which are not designated as at FVTOCI and debt instruments that do not meet the amortized cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria.

Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, and any dividends, interest earned and remeasurement gains or losses on such financial assets are recognized in gains on financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 35.

• ii. Financial assets at amortized cost

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:

• i) The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

• ii) The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

• 20 -

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents, due from the central bank and call loans to other banks, securities purchased under resell agreements, notes discounted and loans, trade receivables at amortized cost, other financial assets and refundable deposits, are measured at amortized cost, which equals the gross carrying amount determined using the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.

Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of such a financial asset, except for:

• i) Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, for which interest income is calculated by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets; and

• ii) Financial assets that are not credit-impaired on purchase or origination but have subsequently become credit-impaired, for which interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets in subsequent reporting periods.

A financial asset is credit impaired when one or more of the following events have occurred:

• i) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;

• ii) Breach of contract, such as a default;

• iii) It is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or undergo a financial reorganization; or

• iv) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.

• iii. Investments in debt instruments at FVTOCI

Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at FVTOCI:

• i) The debt instrument is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both the collecting of contractual cash flows and the selling of such financial assets; and

• ii) The contractual terms of the debt instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Investments in debt instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Changes in the carrying amounts of these debt instruments relating to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest income calculated using the effective interest method and impairment losses or reversals are recognized in profit or loss. Other changes in the carrying amount of these debt instruments are recognized in other comprehensive income and will be reclassified to profit or loss when the investment is disposed of.

• iv. Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI

On initial recognition, the Bank may make an irrevocable election to designate investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI. Designation as at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination.

• 21 -

Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments; instead, it will be transferred to retained earnings.

Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Bank’s right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.

b) Impairment of financial assets

The Bank recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including trade receivables), investments in debt instruments that are measured at FVTOCI.

The Bank always recognizes lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) for notes discounted and loans, trade receivables. For all other financial instruments, the Bank recognizes lifetime ECLs when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Bank measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs.

Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. Lifetime ECLs represent the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECLs represent the portion of lifetime ECLs that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

For internal credit risk management purposes, the Bank determines that the following situations indicate that a financial asset is in default (without taking into account any collateral held by the Bank):

• i. Internal or external information show that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors.

• ii. When a financial asset is more than 90 days past due unless the Bank has reasonable and corroborative information to support a more lagged default criterion.

According to the Regulations, the Bank determines the allowance for credit losses by evaluating the recoverability of the outstanding balances of various loans at the balance sheet date. The allowances for doubtful accounts are determined based on management’s evaluation of the collectability of individual accounts, the borrowers’/clients’ financial condition and payment history. Such doubtful accounts are categorized into: Normal loans, need attention, less likely to be collectible in full, difficult to collect, and uncollectible accounts; and the allowance should be provided at 1%, 2%, 10%, 50%, and 100%, respectively, of the loan amount to meet the minimum requirement for each category. Under the rule No. 10010006830 issued by the Banking Bureau of the FSC, additional allowance for doubtful accounts should be provided at 1% of the total loans. Under the rule No. 10300329440 issued by the Banking Bureau of the FSC, allowance for doubtful accounts should be provided at 1.5% or more of the loans for real estate.

• 22 -

The Bank recognizes an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account, except for investments in debt instruments that are measured at FVTOCI, for which the loss allowance is recognized in other comprehensive income and does not reduce the carrying amount of such a financial asset.

• c) Derecognition of financial assets

The Bank derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.

On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss. On derecognition of an investment in a debt instrument at FVTOCI, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss which had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss. However, on derecognition of an investment in an equity instrument at FVTOCI, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss, and the cumulative gain or loss which had been recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to retained earnings, without recycling through profit or loss.

• 2) Equity instruments

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Bank are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments issued by the Bank is recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

3) Financial liabilities

• a) Subsequent measurement

Except the following situations, all financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method:

• i. Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when such financial liabilities are held for trading at FVTPL.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, and any dividends, interest earned and remeasurement gains or losses on such financial assets are recognized in gains on financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 35.

• ii. Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Bank, if not designated as at FVTPL, are subsequently measured at the higher of:

• i) The amount of the loss allowance reflecting expected credit losses; and

• 23 -

• ii) The amount initially recognized less, where appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognized in accordance with the revenue recognition policies.

• b) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

• 4) Derivative financial instruments

The Bank enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks, including foreign exchange forward contracts, cross-currency swap contracts, cross-currency option contracts, interest structured instrument contracts, non-deliverable forward contracts and asset swap contracts.

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date on which the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument; in which event, the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedging relationship. When the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; when the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is negative, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.

Derivatives embedded in hybrid contracts that contain financial asset hosts that is within the scope of IFRS 9 are not separated; instead, the classification is determined in accordance with the entire hybrid contract. Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts that are not financial assets that is within the scope of IFRS 9 (e.g. financial liabilities) are treated as separate derivatives when they meet the definition of a derivative; their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts; and the host contracts are not measured at FVTPL.

• n. Provisions (excluding amounts in provision for employee benefits)

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the discounted cash flows of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.

• o. Revenue recognition

The Bank identifies contracts with customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.

• 1) Interest income

Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Bank and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

• 2) Service fee and commissions income

Service fee income and expenses are recognized when loans or other services are provided, the Bank allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation after the customer contract recognizes the performance obligation, and recognizes the income when the performance obligation is fulfilled. The contract between the labor service and the collection of consideration is within one year, the major financial components of the contract will not be adjusted.

• 24 -

3) Dividend income

Dividend income from investments is recognized when a shareholder’s right to receive payment has been established and provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Bank and that the amount of income can be measured reliably.

p. Leases

2019

At the inception of a contract, the Bank assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.

1) The Bank as lessor

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of a lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Lease payments (less any lease incentives payable) from operating leases are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant leases. Initial direct costs incurred in obtaining operating leases are added to the carrying amounts of the underlying assets and recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

When a lease includes both land and building elements, the Bank assesses the classification of each element separately as a finance or an operating lease based on the assessment as to whether substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of each element have been transferred to the lessee. The lease payments are allocated between the land and the building elements in proportion to the relative fair values of the leasehold interests in the land element and building element of the lease at the inception of a contract. If the allocation of the lease payments can be made reliably, each element is accounted for separately in accordance with its lease classification. When the lease payments cannot be allocated reliably between the land and building elements, the entire lease is generally classified as a finance lease unless it is clear that both elements are operating leases; in which case, the entire lease is classified as an operating lease.

2) The Bank as lessee

The Bank recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the commencement date of a lease, except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases accounted for applying a recognition exemption where lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs needed to restore the underlying assets, and less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the Bank’s financial statements.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms.

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, which comprise fixed payments, in-substance fixed payments, variable lease payments which depend on an index or a rate. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in a lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Bank uses the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate.

• 25 -

Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. When there is a change in a lease term or a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments, the Bank remeasures the lease liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use assets. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero, any remaining amount of the remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss. Lease liabilities are presented on a separate line on the balance sheets.

Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

2018

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of a lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

• 1) The Bank as lessor

Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

• 2) The Bank as lessee

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognized as assets of the Bank at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included on the balance sheets as a finance lease obligation.

Finance expenses implicit in lease payments for each period are recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets; in which case, they are capitalized.

Operating lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

• q. Employee benefits

1) Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related services.

• 2) Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as expenses when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.

Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost and net interest on the net defined benefit liabilities are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which it occurs. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.

Net defined benefit liabilities represent the actual deficit in the Bank’s defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

• 26 -

• 3) Employee benefit - employees’ preferential deposits

The Bank has granted a preferential interest rate to its current employees and retired employees for their deposits within a prescribed amount. The preferential interest rate in excess of market interest rate is considered employee benefits.

Under Article 30 of the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Bank”, if the Bank’s preferential deposit interest rate for an employee as stated in the employment contract exceeds the market interest rate, the excess will be subject to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits” upon the employee’s retirement. The actuarial valuation assumptions and parameters are based on the guidelines announced by authority.

• 4) Other long-term employee benefits

Other long-term employee benefits are accounted for in the same way as the accounting required for defined benefit plans except that remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss.

• r. Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

• 1) Current tax

According to the Income Tax Law, an additional tax on unappropriated earnings is provided for as income tax in the year the shareholders approve to retain earnings.

Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.

• 2) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused loss carryforwards to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates except where the Bank is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the assets to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

• 27 -

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liabilities are settled or the assets are realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Bank expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

• 3) Current and deferred taxes for the year

Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity; in which case, the current and deferred taxes are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Bank’s accounting policies, the Bank’s management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Critical Accounting Judgments

Business model assessment for financial assets

The Bank determines the business model at a level that reflects how groups of financial assets are managed together to achieve a particular business objective. This assessment includes judgment about all relevant evidence including how the performance of the assets is evaluated, the risks that affect the performance of the assets and how these are managed, and how the managers of the assets are compensated. The Bank monitors financial assets measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, and when assets are derecognized prior to their maturity, the Bank understands the reasons for its disposal and whether the reasons are consistent with the objective of the business for which the assets were held. Monitoring is part of the Bank’s continuous assessment of whether the business model for which the remaining financial assets are held continues to be appropriate and, if it is not appropriate, whether there has been a change in the business model such that a prospective change to the classification of those assets is proper.

Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

Estimated impairment of financial assets

The provision for impairment of loans, notes discounted, trade receivables, investments in debt instruments, and financial guarantee contracts is based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Bank uses judgment in making these assumptions and in selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Bank’s historical experience, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates as of the end of each reporting period. For details of the key assumptions and inputs used, see Notes 35 and 36. Where the actual future cash inflows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.

1) Defined contribution plans

The Bank adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (the “LPA”), which is a state-managed defined contribution plan. Under the LPA, an entity makes monthly contributions to employees’ individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages.

The amount paid by the Bank in 2019 and 2018 in accordance with the defined contribution plan had been recognized in the statements of comprehensive income as total amounts of $85,112 thousand and $75,505 thousand, respectively.

2) Defined benefit plans

The defined benefit plan adopted by the Bank in accordance with the Labor Standards Law is operated by the government of the ROC. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the six months before retirement. The Bank contributes amounts equal to 3% of total monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee’s name. Before the end of each year, the Bank assesses the balance in the pension fund. If the amount of the balance in the pension fund is inadequate to pay retirement benefits for employees who conform to retirement requirements in the next year, the Bank is required to fund the difference in one appropriation that should be made before the end of March of the next year. The pension fund is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor (the “Bureau”); the Bank has no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.

The amounts included in the balance sheets in respect of the Bank’s defined benefit plans were as follows:

		2019 $ 23,233	2018 $ 31,278

• 51 -

Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law, the Bank is exposed to the following risks:

• a) Investment risk: The plan assets are invested in domestic and foreign equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.

• b) Interest risk: A decrease in the government or corporate bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan’s debt investments.

• c) Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated using the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The significant assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:

Discount rate(s) Expected rate(s) of salary increase	December 31
	2019 2018 0.750% 1.125% 1.500% 1.500%

If possible reasonable change in each of the significant actuarial assumptions will occur and all other assumptions will remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase (decrease) as follows:

Discount rate(s) 0.25% increase 0.25% decrease Expected rate(s) of salary increase 0.25% increase 0.25% decrease		December	31
		2019 $ (49,168) $ 50,983 $ 49,708 $ (48,188)	2018 $ (48,217) $ 50,072 $ 48,981 $ (47,405)

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that changes in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

Expected contributions to the plan for the next year Average duration of the defined benefit obligation		**December 31 **	**December 31 **

36. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

Overview

The financial risk management objectives of the Bank is to achieve the goal of balancing risk tolerance, business objectives and external legal restrictions. These risks include market risks (including interest rate, exchange rate, equity securities, product price and the product price risks) and liquidity risks of on-and-off balance sheet business.

The Bank has formulated a relevant risk management policy, which has been approved by the board of directors to effectively identify, measure, monitor and control credit risk, market risk and liquidity risk.

Risk Management Organizational Structure

The board of directors is the highest decision-making unit for the Bank’s corporate risk management and assumes the ultimate responsibility for risk management. The Bank has a risk management committee and a risk management department, which grants risk authority and confers responsibilities on the relevant departments to ensure the smooth operation of risk management. The responsibilities of the committee are as follows:

• a. Consideration of the risk management programme.

• b. Consideration and review of risk limits.

• c. Consideration of the bill on institutionalization of risk management.

• d. Report to the board of directors regularly.

Members of the risk management committee set up various risk management measurement indicators according to the nature of their business and the scope of their duties, and the risk management department should report to the risk management committee to provide a reference for senior decision-making.

• 1) Market risk

• a) The source and definition of market risk

Market risks refer to the loss due to the changes in market price, such as the changes of the market interest rate, the exchange rate, the share price and the product price.

• b) Market risk management policy

The objective of the Group market risk management is to develop a sound and effective market risk management mechanism that is consistent with the size, nature and complexity of the Bank’s business to ensure that the risks borne by the Bank can be properly managed and market risks are effectively identified, measured, monitored and controlled, and strike a balance between the level of risk tolerance and the expected level of compensation.

• 86 -

c) Market risk management process

i. Identification and measurement

The relevant market risks should be assessed through appropriate procedures to consider whether the risk is within an acceptable risk range before new products, business activities, processes and systems are rolled out or operated. The relevant units should use the methods of business analysis or product analysis to identify the sources of market risks, define the market risk factors of each financial commodity and make appropriate specifications.

Market risk measurement can use a variety of effective measures to properly measure risk, including but not limited to the following methods: Statistical basis measures, sensitivity analysis and situational analysis. The risk management department should measure the risk of the site on a daily basis and conduct regular stress tests to measure the amount of abnormal losses that may occur in the current extremes or historical extremes.

ii. Monitoring and reporting

The risk management department should report to the risk management committee and the board of directors regularly on the implementation of the Bank’s market risk management, including the Bank’s market risk location, risk level, profit and loss status, quota usage and compliance with relevant market risk management regulations and suggestions. The authorities also set up relevant limit management, stop loss mechanism, overrun treatment and exception management methods to effectively monitor market risks. In the event of an overrun or exception, it should be notified immediately to facilitate the immediate response.

d) Interest rate risk

• i. Definition of interest rate risk

Interest rate risk refers to the change in interest rate, which causes the Bank to bear the risk of changes in the fair value of the interest rate risk or the loss of the surplus. The main sources of risk include deposits and interest-related securities.

ii. Measurement methods and management procedures

The Bank monitors the interest rate risk system, sets the scope of the indicators to regularly monitor and report the results to the asset and liability management committee, the risk management committee and the board of directors, and adjusts according to the overall operating conditions of the Bank. In addition, the Bank measures the interest rate risk by DV01, assuming that the interest rate curve moves 100BP in parallel, the degree of impact on earnings and equity controls the interest rate risk.

e) Exchange rate risk

• i. Definition of exchange rate risk

Exchange rate risk is the gain or loss resulting from the conversion of two different currencies at different times. The Bank’s exchange rate risk is mainly due to the spot and forward foreign exchange of the business. Since the foreign exchange transactions are mostly based on the principle of flattening the customer’s position for the day, the exchange rate risk is relatively small.

• 87 -

• ii. Measurement methods and management procedures

The Bank adopts the quota management mechanism for the exchange rate risk system, sets the business quota and overnight limit for each currency, controls the maximum net foreign exchange position that can be held by all levels of personnel, and sets the maximum transaction amount according to the counterparty, and monitors it regularly. The results will be reported to the risk management committee and the board of directors for discussion.

In addition, the Bank assumes that the exchange rate of USD/NTD, CNY/NTD, and AUD/NTD is relatively revaluated/depreciated by 3%, and the degree of impact on earnings and equity controls the exchange rate risk.

• f) Equity securities price risk

• i. Definition of equity securities price risk

The market risk of the Bank’s equity securities is the individual risk arising from changes in the market price of individual equity securities and the general market risk arising from changes in the overall market price. The main risks include listing counter shares and beneficiary certificates.

• ii. Measurement methods and management procedures

The Bank adopts a quota management mechanism for the equity securities price risk, ensuring that all levels are traded within the authorized amount, and sets up relevant mechanisms for stop loss control, and regularly reports the monitoring results to the risk management committee and the board of directors for discussion.

In addition, the Bank assumes that when the price of equity securities rises/falls by 15%, the degree of impact on earnings and equity controls the risk of equity securities.

• g) Market risk sensitivity analysis

Interest risk

The Bank assumed that when other change factors remain unchanged, if the yield curve increased/decreased by 100 basis points, the income before income tax of the Bank as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 would have increased/decreased by $751,798 thousand and $743,763 thousand, respectively. The other equity would have decreased/increased by $2,002,094 thousand and $2,246,616 thousand, respectively.

Exchange rate risk

The Bank assumed that when other change factors remain unchanged, if the exchange rate of USD/NTD, CNY/NTD, and AUD/NTD appreciated/depreciated by 3%, the income before income tax as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 would have increased/decreased $20,939 thousand and decreased/increased $35,790 thousand, respectively. The other equity would have increased/decreased by $26,883 thousand and $26,011 thousand, respectively.

Equity securities price risk

The Bank assumed that when other change factors remain unchanged, if the price of equity securities increased/decreased by 15%, the income before income tax as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 would have increased/decreased by $124,456 thousand and $153,873 thousand, respectively. The other equity would have increased/decreased by $42,401 thousand and $29,217 thousand, respectively.

2) Credit risk

a) The source and definition of credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that the counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Bank. Credit risk exists in both on and off balance sheet items. The on balance sheet exposures to credit risks are mainly from notes discounted and loans, the credit card business, due from other banks and call loans to other banks, acceptance, investment in debt instrument and derivatives. The off-balance sheet exposures to credit risks are mainly from financial guarantees, letter of credits and loan commitments.

b) Credit risk management policy

Before launching new products or businesses, the Bank ensures compliance with all applicable rules and regulations and identifies relevant credit risks. On December 31, 2019, the ratio of loans with collateral to the total amount of loans was approximately 79%. The ratio of financing guarantees to commercial letters of collateral holdings was approximately 39%, and the collateral required for loans, loan commitments or guarantees is usually in the forms of cash, inventories, liquid securities or other property in circulation. If the customers default, the Bank will execute its rights on collateral in accordance with the terms of contracts.

• 89 -

c) Credit risk management program

The measurement and management of credit risks from the Bank’s main businesses were as follows:

• i. Loans business (including loan commitment and guarantees)

• i) Determination that credit risk has increased significantly since the initial recognition.

The Bank assesses the change in the probability of default of loans during the lifetime on each reporting date to determine if the credit risk has increased significantly since the initial recognition. In order to make this assessment, the Bank considerations show the reasonable and supportable information that the credit risk has increased significantly since the initial recognition (including forward-looking information). The main considerations include:

Quantitative indicators

• Changes in external credit ratings of Taiwan Corporate Credit Rating Index (TCRI)

The TCRI rating of the listed cabinet company corresponding to the external rating has been reduced from the investment grade to the non-investment grade, that is, the credit risk has been significantly increased since the initial recognition.

• Information on overdue status

When the contract amount is overdue for more than one month, it is determined that the credit risk of the financial asset has increased significantly since the initial recognition.

Qualitative indicators

• Unfavorable changes in the current or projected operating, financial or economic conditions that are expected to result in significant changes in the ability of the debtor to perform debt obligations.

• Significant changes in actual or expected results of the debtor’s operations.

• The credit risk of other financial instruments from the same debtor has increased significantly.

• ii) Definition of default and credit impairment financial assets

The definition of financial asset default is the same as that of financial asset credit impairment. If one or more of the following conditions are met, the Bank determines that the financial asset has defaulted and become credit impaired:

Quantitative indicators

• Changes in external TCRI credit ratings

The TCRI rating of the listed cabinet company is default grade, which means that the credit has been deducted since the initial recognition.

• 90 -

• Information on overdue status

When the contract amount is overdue for more than three months, it is determined that the credit of the financial asset has been impaired since the initial recognition.

Qualitative indicators

If there is evidence that the borrower will not be able to pay the contract, or that the borrower has significant financial difficulties, such as:

• The debtor has gone bankrupt or may have called for bankruptcy or financial restructuring.

• Other debt instrument contracts of the debtor have defaulted.

• Due to the economic or contractual reasons associated with the debtor’s financial difficulties, the debtor’s creditors give the borrower an unconfirmed concession and report the overdue loan.

The aforementioned default and credit impairment definitions are used to consolidate all financial assets held by the company and are consistent with the definitions used for the internal credit risk management purposes of the financial assets, and are also applied to the relevant impairment assessment model.

iii) Measurement of expected credit losses

In order to assess the expected credit losses, the combined company divides the credit assets into the following combinations according to the credit risk characteristics such as the use of borrowing, industrial nature, collateral type and borrowing status.

Product Portfolio Corporation loans - secured Corporation loans Corporation loans - unsecured House mortgage Consumer loans - secured Consumer loans - unsecured Consumer loans Credit loans Debit card Credit card

The Bank evaluates loss allowance of financial assets, which credit risk does not significantly increase after initial recognition based on 12 months expected credit losses. The Bank evaluates loss allowance of financial assets, which credit risk significantly increases after initial recognition based on lifetime expected credit losses.

In order to evaluate expected credit losses, the Bank takes into consideration the debtor’s probability of default (“PD”) within the next 12 months, which includes the loss given default (“LGD”), the results are then multiplied by the exposure at default (“EAD”), while also considering the effect of time value of money to calculate the expected credit losses during the duration of 12 months.

• 91 -

PD is the default percentage of a borrower. LGD is the loss ratio once a borrower default. The Bank applied PD and LGD to evaluate loan business impairment based on each portfolio’s historical information calculated internally (i.e. credit loss experience), and adjusted historical data based on current observable information and forward-looking macroeconomic information calculated by using packet direct estimation method.

The Bank evaluates the loan default risk by packet direct estimation method. The Bank calculates 12 months and lifetime ECLs of financing commitment based on packet direct estimation method. The Bank uses credit conversion factor to calculate the portion of financing commitment expected to be used in 12 months after record date and the credit duration to calculate the default exposure amount of ECLs.

Consideration of forward-looking estimation

In considering the expected credit losses, the Bank uses forward looking economic factors that affect credit risk and expected credit losses to consider forward looking information. Forward looking information is based on the Taiwan National Development Council’s regular promulgation of the “Benefit Strategy Signal” of Taiwan’s overall prosperity as indicators, which are divided into boom expansion period, contraction period and flat period. The Bank evaluates the economic situation to adjust the default probability every quarter, and then incorporates it into the overall expected credit loss assessment.

ii. Debt instrument investment

The Bank considers the historical default loss rate provided by the external rating agencies and the current financial status of the debtor to calculate 12-month and lifetime ECLs of financing commitment in debt instrument investment.

The securities held by the Bank recognize the expected credit losses according to the expected credit losses during the lifetime ECLs of financing commitment. The credit quality of the Bank’s judgment securities was as follows:

• i) The determination since the initial recognition of the credit risk has increased significantly.

The Bank assesses the change in the probability of default of debt instrument investment during the lifetime on each reporting date to determine if the credit risk has increased significantly since the initial recognition. In order to make this assessment, the Bank considerations show the reasonable and supportable information that the credit risk has increased significantly since the initial recognition. The main considerations include:

Quantitative indicators

• At the time of initial recognition, the issuer’s credit rating is above the investment grade, but at the financial reporting date, the issuer’s credit rating is reduced to a non-investment grade.

• For debt instrument investments on the initial recognition date, the issuer’s credit rating is below the non-investment grade and the credit rating on the reporting day has not changed.

• When the issuer’s credit rating is a non-investment grade, the reported daily credit rating is reduced to a certain extent.

• 92 -

Qualitative indicators

• The credit rating of the issuer indicates that its credit risk has increased significantly.

• The fair value of the debt instrument investment is significantly and adversely changed on the reporting date.

• ii) Definition of default and credit impairment financial assets

If the debt instrument investment meets one or more of the following conditions, it determines that the financial asset has defaulted and the credit is impaired.

Quantitative indicators

• Debt instrument investment is the credit impairment bond when it is purchased.

• The default rate for credit rating of the issuer or debt instrument investment will be adjusted on the reporting day.

Qualitative indicators

• The issuer modifies the issue conditions of the debt instrument investment due to financial difficulties or fails to pay the principal or interest according to the conditions of the issue.

• The issuer or the guarantee institution has ceased operations or has applied for reorganization, bankruptcy, dissolution, and sale of major assets that have a significant impact on the company’s continued operations.

Measurement of expected credit losses

• In order to evaluate expected credit losses, the Bank takes into consideration the debtor’s probability of default (“PD”) within the next 12 months, which includes the loss given default (“LGD”), the results are then multiplied by the exposure at default (“EAD”), while also considering the effect of time value of money to calculate the expected credit losses during the duration of 12 months.

• Comparing the risk of default on the dated debt instrument with the default risk at the time of initial recognition, and considering the reasonable and corroborative information for a significant increase in credit risk since the initial recognition, to determine whether the financial instrument’s credit risk has increased significantly since the initial recognition.

• Those who meet the normal credit risk status will estimate the expected loss amount based on the one-year probability of default (PD).

• Those who meet the significant increase in credit risk status must consider the duration of the asset project and calculate the probability of default (PD) for each duration. If the cash flow of the contract in the future period (i.e., the default exposure amount of each period) can be assessed, the cash flow method is used to assess the expected amount of credit loss, and if the cash flow of each period cannot be assessed, and the current risk calculation method is used it.

• 93 -

  • Those who meet the abnormal credit risk status are considered to be 100%, and will not consider the probability of default in each duration. Only consider the relevant recoverable amount and evaluate the overall expected credit loss amount.

  • Debt instrument investment probability of default is the value released by external credit rating agencies, which implies the possibility of future market fluctuations.

• d) Credit risk hedging or mitigation policies

• i. Collaterals

The Bank implements a series of policies and measures to reduce credit risks when granting of credit. One of the commonly used methods is to require borrowers to provide collaterals. To enforce the rights to collaterals, the Bank manages and assesses the collaterals according to the procedures adopted in determining the scope of collateralization and valuation of collaterals.

The main types of collateral for granting credit are as follows:

• i) Real estate.

ii) Chattels and rights of pledge.

iii) Guarantee from external agency.

To enhance guarantee of transaction risk, the Bank’s demand for collaterals depends on the nature of derivative transactions as follows:

• i) Guarantee of amount invested: Asking different ratio of guarantee depends on the credit rating scale of clients.

• ii) Guarantee of high-risk transactions: Asking for collaterals when option contracts are under resell agreement.

• iii) Performance bond (loss on investment position): Asking for collaterals when loss on investment position exceeds the limit of approved market value.

The Bank closely observed the value of pledged financial assets and evaluated which financial assets had been impaired in order to recognize allowance for impairment. Credit-impaired financial assets and its pledged values which eliminate potential loss, are as follows:

December 31, 2019

ii. Credit risk concentration limits and control

To avoid the concentration of credit risks, the Bank has included credit limits for the same person (entity) and for the same related-party corporation (group) based on the credit risk arising from loans, securities investment and derivatives transactions.

Meanwhile, for trading and banking book investments, the Bank has set a ratio, which is the credit limit of a single issuer in relation to the total security position. The Bank has also included credit limits for a single counterparty and a single group.

In addition, to manage the concentration risk of the financial assets, the Bank has set credit limits by industry, conglomerate, country and transactions collateralized by shares, and integrated within one system to supervise the concentration of credit risk in these categories. The Bank monitors concentration of each asset and controls various types of credit risk concentration in a single transaction involving counterparties, groups, related-party corporations, industries and nations.

iii. Other credit enhancements

To reduce its credit risks, the Bank stipulates in its credit contracts the term for offsetting which clearly stated that the Bank reserves the right to offset the borrowers’ debt against their deposits in the Bank.

• 95 -

e) Maximum exposure to credit risk

The maximum exposures of assets on the balance sheets to credit risks without consideration of guarantees or other credit enforcement instruments approximate the assets’ carrying amounts. The maximum exposures of off-balance sheet items to credit risks without consideration of guarantees or other credit enforcement instrument were as follows:

Irrevocable loan commitments Credit card commitments Guarantee receivables Letters of credit	December 31
	2019 2018 $ 7,152,089 $ 5,810,795 11,743,903 10,507,270 16,485,312 18,335,961 3,318,935 4,140,679

The management of the Bank believes their abilities to minimize the credit risk exposures of the off-balance sheet items are mainly attributed to their rigorous evaluation of extended credit and the periodic reviews of these credits.

f) Credit risk concentration of the Bank

When the other parties to the financial instruments consist of a single individual, or a concentration of entities with similar commercial activities, they may have similar abilities to fulfill their credit obligations. The Bank does not have such situation. The Bank’s credit exposure related to loans was as follows:

3) Liquidity risk

a) The source and definition of liquidity risk:

Liquidity risk refers to the potential loss resulting from the shortage of funds in acquiring assets or repaying debts on maturity, such as the cash outflow arising from the depositors’ withdrawal of deposits, loan drawdown, other interest, expenses, or off-balance sheet transactions. To ensure sufficient capital liquidity, measures that can be taken include cash buffer in stock or readily realizable marketable securities, allocation of the period, absorbing deposits or financing borrowing, etc.

• 105 -

• b) The Bank’s liquidity risk policies

The Bank establishes a strategy based on the conservatism principle to diversify the source and duration of funds, participates in the fund’s lending market and maintains strong relationship with fund providers to ensure the stability and reliability of funding sources.

The Bank formulates relevant standards including risk identification, measurement, monitoring and reporting in order to control and grasp the potential adverse effects, regularly performs stress tests and analyzes the crisis situation to mitigate the impact of excessive capital flows, establishes a limit monitoring mechanism, and sets management indicators such as liquidity ratios, cash flow gaps, etc.

The Bank's liquidity risk management unit is the Asset and Liability Management Committee (hereinafter referred to as the “Committee”). The Committee must adopt necessary monitoring steps to maintain adequate liquidity and ensure that certain committees should regularly report to the board of directors for effective management of liquidity risks.

• b) Derivative instruments to be settled at gross amount

The derivative instruments to be settled at gross amount include:

Foreign exchange derivatives: Foreign exchange forward contracts and cross-currency swap contracts

The Bank disclosed the analysis of derivative instruments to be settled at gross amount by the residual maturities as of the balance sheet date. The Bank assesses the maturity dates of derivative contracts to understand the basic elements of all derivative financial instruments shown in the balance sheets. The amounts used in the maturity analyses of derivative financial liabilities are based on contractual cash flows, so some of these amounts may not correspond to the amounts shown on the balance sheets. The maturity analysis of derivate financial liabilities which be settled at gross amount was as follows:

• 5) Cash flow and fair value risk of interest rate fluctuation

The floating-rate assets/liabilities held by the Bank may be exposed to risks of future cash inflow/outflow. Since the risk is considered substantial, it is therefore hedged by the Bank.

37. TRANSFERS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

The transferred financial assets that do not qualify for derecognition

Most of the transferred financial assets of the Bank that are not derecognized in its entirety are securities sold under repurchase agreements. According to these transactions, the right on cash flow of the transferred financial assets would be transferred to other entities and the associated liabilities of the Bank’s obligation to repurchase the transferred financial assets at a fixed price in the future would be recognized. As the Bank is restricted to use, sell or pledge the transferred financial assets throughout the term of transaction, and is still exposed to interest rate risks and credit risks on these instruments, the transferred financial assets are not derecognized in their entirety. The details of financial assets that were not derecognized in their entirety and the associated financial liabilities were as follows:

38. OFFSETTING FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

The Bank did not hold financial instruments covered by Section 42 of the IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation” endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission; thus, it made an offset of financial assets and liabilities and reported the net amount in the balance sheets.

The Bank engages in transactions on the following financial assets and liabilities that are not subject to balance sheet offsetting based on IAS 32 but are under master netting arrangements or similar agreements. These agreements allow both the Bank and its counterparties to opt for the net settlement of financial assets and financial liabilities. If one party defaults, the other party may choose net settlement.

The netting information of financial assets and financial liabilities is set out below:
