Audited Report

To: The Board of Directors and Stockholders Union Bank of Taiwan

Auditor’s Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Union Bank of Taiwan (the “Bank”), which comprise the parent-only balance sheets as of June 30, 2023, and December 31 and June 30, 2022, as well as the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for January 1 to June 30, 2023 and 2022, and the notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the parent company only financial position of the Bank as of June 30, 2023, and December 31 and June 30, 2022, as well as the parent company only financial performance and the parent company only cash flows for January 1st to June 30, 2023 and 2022.

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.

  • 3 -

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the parent company only financial statements for the first half of 2023. 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.

For the Bank’s Parent Company Only Financial Statements for the first half of 2023, the key audit matters are specified as follows:

Estimated impairment of discounts and loans

As of June 30, 2022, the carrying net amount of discounts and loans of the Bank accounted for approximately 63% of total assets, and thus it was deemed material to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements. Please refer to Note XIV of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements. It involves the material judgement such as accounting estimate and the management’s assumptions to determine whether discounts and loans are impaired; therefore we deem the estimated impairment of discounts and loans as one of the key audit matters.

The Bank’s management review the loan impairments regularly; when determining if any impairment loss shall be recognized, it is mainly to assess the possible impairment generated from ECL. The amount of impairment loss is the carrying amount and the 12-month ECL of lifetime ECL. In addition, the provision of discount and loan impairment shall comply with the legal requirements of credit asset classification and allowance of doubtful accounts.

Please refer to Note IV, V, and XIV for the accounting policies regarding allowance of doubtful accounts and related information.

The major audit procedures implemented by us including:

  1. Understand and test the Company’s internal control regarding assessment of loan impairment

  2. Test if credit assets are classified by following the treatment methods of the management and the requirements of the competent authorities, and check if the allowance of doubtful accounts to be provided comply with the related legal requirements.

  3. Evaluate the reasonableness and consistency of the methodology adopted by the management to calculated the ECL, and randomly inspect the integrity and accuracy of the calculated amount of ECL from loan cases.

  4. 4 -

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 Statements by Public Banks and the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers, 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 Statementing process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only 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.

As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and 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. 5 -

  3. 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.

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

  5. 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 Company’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 Company to cease 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 Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  6. 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.

  7. Obtain sufficient and adequate audit evidence for the components of the parent-only financial information, in order to express opinions regarding the Parent Company Only Financial Statements. We are responsible for direct, supervise, and execute the audit case, as well as form the audit opinions for the Bank.

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.

  • 6 -

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements for the first half of 2023, 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.

Union Bank of Taiwan Co., Ltd.

Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statement

January 1 to June 30, 2023 and 2022

(In NTD thousand, unless specified otherwise)

I. Company History

The Union Bank of Taiwan (the “Bank”) was incorporated on December 31, 1991 after obtaining approval from the Ministry of Finance (MOF) on August 1, 1991 and started operations on January 21, 1992. The Bank is mainly engaged in activities including deposits, loans, discounts, remittances, acceptances, issuance of guarantees and letters of credit, short-term bills transactions, investments, foreign exchange transactions, savings, trust, and other agent business.

On the Bank’s merger with Chung Shing Bank on March 19, 2005, the Bank took over all of its assets, liabilities and operating units.

The Bank merged with Union Bills Finance Corporation (UBF) on August 16, 2010, with the Bank as the surviving entity.

On August 26, 2015, the board of directors of the Bank resolved to merge UIB in order to integrate the resources, and strengthen management and business synergy. The merger was approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) under Rule No. 10502022990 dated March 21, 2016. The effective date of this merger was August 1, 2016.

As of June 30, 2023, the Bank’s operating units included Trust, Wealth Management, Security Finance, Bills Finance, International Banking, Insurance Agency, Offshore Banking Units (OBU), overseas representative offices in Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, Vietnam, and 90 domestic branches (including the business department).

The operations of the Bank’s trust department are (1) trust business planning, managing and operating; and (2) custody of nondiscretionary trust funds in domestic and overseas securities and mutual funds. These foregoing operations are regulated under the Banking Act and Trust Act.

The Bank’s shares are traded on the Taiwan Stock Exchange.

The Parent Company Only Financial Statements are presented in NTD, the Bank’s functional currency.

II. Date and Procedures Passing the Financial Statements

The Parent Company Only Financial Statements were approved by the Company’s board of directors on August 28, 2023.

  • 16 -

III. Standards Recently Published or Amended, and the Applications of the Interpretations

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

Except for the following, the initial application of the IFRSs endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC did not have material impact on the Bank’s accounting policies:

  1. Amendment to IAS 1 “Disclosure of Accounting Policies”

  2. When the amendment is adopted, the Company refers to the definition of

  3. material to determine its material accounting policy information to be disclosed. Accounting policy information is material if it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. In addition,

  4. ⚫ Accounting policy information that relates to immaterial transactions, other events or conditions is immaterial and need not be disclosed;

  5. ⚫ The Bank may consider the accounting policy information as material because of the nature of the related transactions, other events or conditions, even if the amounts are immaterial; and

  6. ⚫ Not all accounting policy information relating to material transactions, other events or conditions is itself material.

The accounting policy information is likely to be considered as material to the financial statements if that information relates to material transactions, other events or conditions, and:

  • (1) The Bank changed its accounting policy during the reporting period and this change resulted in a material change to the information in the financial statements;

  • (2) The Bank chose the accounting policy from options permitted by the standards;

  • 17 -

  • (3) The accounting policy was developed in accordance with IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors” in the absence of an IFRS that specifically applies;

  • (4) The accounting policy relates to an area for which the Bank is required to make significant judgments or assumptions in applying an accounting policy, and the Bank discloses those judgments or assumptions; or

  • (5) The accounting is complex and users of the financial statements would otherwise not understand those material transactions, other events or conditions.

Please refer to Note 4 for the disclosure of relevant accounting policies.

  1. Amendment to IAS 8 “Definition of Accounting Estimates

The Company adopted the amendment since January 1, 2023, and it defines that accounting estimates are monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty. In applying accounting policies, the Bank may be required to measure items at monetary amounts that cannot be observed directly and must instead be estimated. In such a case, the Bank uses measurement techniques and inputs to develop accounting estimates to achieve the objective. The effects on an accounting estimate of a change in a measurement technique or a change in an input are changes in accounting estimates unless they result from the correction of prior period errors.

  1. Amendment to IAS 12 “Deferred Tax Related to Assets and Liabilities Arising From a Single Transaction”

The amendment clarifies that the initial recognition exemption under IAS 12 does not apply to transactions in which equal taxable and deductible temporary differences arise on initial recognition. The Company recognizes a deferred tax asset (to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilized) and a deferred tax liability for all deductible and taxable temporary differences associated with leases and decommissioning obligations on January 1, 2022 by applying this amendment. The Company will apply the amendments prospectively to transactions other than leases and decommissioning obligations that occur on or after January 1, 2022.

  • 18 -

  • Amendments to IAS 12 "International Tax Reform—Pillar Two Model Rules."

The amendments introduce an exception to IAS 12, which specifies that the Company shall not recognize deferred income tax assets and liabilities in respect of Pillar Two income tax, and shall not disclose information related to such deferred income tax. However, it shall disclose that it has applied the exception and separately disclose the income tax expense (profit) of the current period related to the income tax of Pillar Two. In addition, during the period when Pillar Two legislation is enacted or substantively enacted but not yet in effect, the Company shall disclose qualitative and quantitative information that is helpful to users in understanding their exposure to Pillar Two income tax, which is known or can be reasonably estimated. After the promulgation of this amendment, the exceptions to this subparagraph shall be applied retrospectively immediately and the facts that have applied shall be disclosed; other disclosure requirements shall be applicable for the annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2023. These other disclosure requirements are not applicable to the interim financial reports with reporting period ending before December 31, 2023.

1. Amendments to IFRS 16, “Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback”

The amendments clarify that for a sale and leaseback transaction, if the transfer of an asset meets the requirements of "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" in IFRS 15 and it is classified as a sale, the liabilities that arise from the leaseback by the seller and lessee, shall be treated according to the lease liability of IFRS 16. However, if it involves variable lease payments that are not dependent on the index or rate, the seller and lessee shall measure the liability in a manner that does not recognize the gain or loss related to the retained right of use. Subsequently, the difference between the current lease payment amount and the actual payment amount included in the calculation of lease liabilities is recognized as profit or loss.

  1. IAS 7 and IFRS 7 Amendments "Supplier Financing Arrangements."

Financing arrangements with suppliers are characterized by a commitment by one or more financing providers to pay an enterprise for the amount payable to its supplier, and the enterprise agrees to the terms and conditions arranged for the payment which is to take place on the same day (or at a later date) its supplier is paid. According to the amendments, the Company shall provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to assess the impact of supplier financing arrangements on the Company's liabilities, cash flows, and liquidity risk exposure.

In addition to the above effects, as of the date, the parent company only financial statements were authorized for issue. The Company is continuously assessing the possible impact that the amendments of other standards and interpretations will have on the Company’s financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.

  • Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets between An Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture”

According to the amendments, if the Company sells or invests assets to an affiliate (or joint venture), or the Company loses control of a subsidiary but retains significant influence (or joint control) over the subsidiary, or, if the aforementioned assets or former subsidiary meets the definition of "business" in IFRS 3 "Business Combination," the Company recognizes all gains and losses arising from the transaction.

In addition, if the Company sells or invests assets to an affiliated enterprise (or joint venture), or the Company loses control of a subsidiary in a transaction with an affiliated enterprise (or joint venture), but retains significant influence (or joint control) over the subsidiary, or, if the aforementioned assets or the former subsidiary do not meet the definition of "business" in IFRS 3, the Company only recognizes the profit or loss arising from the transaction to the extent of unrelated investors’ interests in the affiliated enterprise (or joint venture). That is, the Company's share of the profit or loss shall be eliminated.

  • 21 -

2. Amendments to IAS 21 "Lack of Convertibility."

The amendments clearly stipulate that if an enterprise is able to exchange a currency for another through an exchange transaction with enforceable rights and obligations established in the market or through the exchange mechanism within the normal time range of management delay, the currency is considered convertible. When the currency is not convertible on the measurement date, the Company shall estimate the spot exchange rate to reflect the exchange rate that would be used by market participants to conduct an orderly transaction on the measurement date by taking into account the prevailing economic conditions. Under such circumstances, the Company shall also disclose information that will enable users of financial statements to assess how the lack of convertibility of currencies has affected or is expected to affect its results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

As of the date the Parent Company Only Financial Statements were authorized for issue, the Bank has assessed that the aforesaid amendments to standards and interpretations will not have any material impact on the Bank’s financial position and financial performance; provided, 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.

IV. Summaries of the Material Accounting Policies

(I) Statement of Compliance

The Parent Company Only Financial Statements are prepared pursuant to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Public Banks and the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers. The Parent Company Only Financial Statements do not include all the IFRSs disclosure information required for the full-year Parent Company Only Financial Statements.

(II) Other material accounting policies

Except for the following explanation, please refer to the summery of the material accounting policies in the 2022 Parent Company Only Financial Statements

  • 22 -

(III) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the parent-only balance sheet when an entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

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 transactions of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

  • (1) Measurement categories

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

A. Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss

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

A financial asset may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise.

Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any dividends or interest earned on such a financial asset. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note XLVI.

  • 23 -

  • B. Financial assets measured at amortized costs

Financial assets invested by the Bank that meet the both conditions below are subsequently measured at amortized cost:

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

  • b. 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.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables at amortized cost, 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:

  • a. 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

  • b. 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) 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.

  • 24 -

Cash equivalents include time deposits with original maturities within 3 months from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.

  • C. Investments of the debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

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

  • a. 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

  • b. 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.

  • D. Investments of the equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

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.

  • 25 -

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.

(2) Impairment of financial and contractual assets

The Bank recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including loans, trade receivables, and non-accrual loans), investments in debt instruments at FVTOCI, lease receivables, as well as contract assets.

For the aforesaid financial instruments, the Company 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 Company 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. 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. Lifetime ECLs represent the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

  • 26 -

In determining the allowance for credit losses and the reserve for losses on guarantees, the Bank assesses the balances of discounts and loans, receivables, nonperforming loans, and other financial assets as well as guarantees and acceptances for their collectability and their specific risks or general risks as of the balance sheet date. Under the regulations issued by the Ministry of Finance (MOF), the Bank evaluates credit balances on the basis of their estimated collectability. The MOF regulations also require the grouping of credit assets into these five classes: Normal, special mention, substandard, doubtful and losses; the minimum loan loss provision and guarantee reserve for the unsound credit assets (those other than normal) should be 2%, 10%, 50% and 100%, respectively, of the outstanding credit balance. The MOF issued a guideline stating that from January 1, 2014, the minimum loan loss provision and guarantee should be the sum of 1% of the outstanding balance of the normal credit asset’s claim, 2% of the balance of special mention credit assets, 10% of the balance of substandard credit assets, 50% of the balance of doubtful credit assets, and the full balance of losses credit assets (excluding assets that represent claims against the central and local government in Taiwan). Also, in accordance with Rule No. 10300329440 issued by FSC, the minimum allowance for mortgage loans should be 1.5% (the policy loans added since January 1, 2011 may be excluded) as the minimum provision standard for NPL and guarantee liability reserve; the higher between this allowance and the assessment result of the aforesaid ECL is taken to measure the allowance loss.

The Bank assesses the probability of collection for non-accrual loans and overdue loans and values of collaterals when determining the writeoffs. The credits deemed uncollectable may be written off if the write-off is approved by the board of directors. Recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to the allowance account.

  • 27 -

The Company 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.

(3) 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.

If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company recognizes its retained interest in the asset and any associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. 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 in its entirety, the cumulative gain or loss is transferred directly to retained earnings, without being reclassified to profit or loss.

2. Equity instrument

Debt and equity instruments 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 refer to any contract representing the remaining equity of the Bank by deducting all liabilities from the assets. Equity instruments issued are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

  • 28 -

The repurchase of the Bank’s own equity instruments is recognized in and deducted directly from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issuance or cancellation of the Bank’s own equity instruments.

3. Financial liabilities

  • (1) Subsequent measurement

Other than the following circumstance, all financial liabilities are measured at amortized costs with the effective interest method:

  • A. Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss

The financial liabilities at FVTPL include these held for trading and designated as measured at FVTPL.

A financial liability may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition when doing so results in more relevant information and if:

  • a. Such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or

  • b. The financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and has performance evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Bank’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or

  • c. The contract contains one or more embedded derivatives so that the entire combined contract (asset or liability) can be designated as at FVTPL.

For a financial liability designated as at FVTPL, the amount of changes in fair value attributable to changes in the credit risk of the liability is presented in other comprehensive income and will not be subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. The gain or loss accumulated in other comprehensive income will be transferred to retained earnings when the financial liability is derecognized. If this accounting treatment related to credit risk would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch, all changes in the fair value of the liability are presented in profit or loss. Provided, if recognizing the changes in fair values of credit risks will result in or intensify the improper accounting proportions, all the

  • 29 -

change in the entire fair value of the liability will be presented in profit and loss. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note XLVI.

B. Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Bank, if not designated as at FVTPL, are subsequently measured at the higher of a) the amount of the loss allowance reflecting expected credit losses; and b) the amount initially recognized less, where appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognized in accordance with the revenue recognition policies.

(2) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Bank only derecognizes financial liabilities when obligations are released, cancelled, or expire. When derecognizing a financial liability, the difference between carrying amount and the proceed paid (including all the non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) are recognized as profit and loss.

4. Derivative instruments

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.

  • 30 -

(IV) Defined benefits and post-employment benefits

The pension costs for the interim period are calculated with the pension cost rate determined by the actuarial calculation at the end date of the previous year from the beginning of the year to the end of the period; adjustments are made as well for the material market fluctuation, material plan modification, repayment, or other material one-time-off events during the period, if any.

(V) Income taxes

Income tax expense are the sum of the current income tax and deferred income taxes. The income tax for the interim period is assessed on the annual basis, to calculate the interim profit before tax with the expected applicable tax rate for the total annual earnings.

V. Material Accounting Judgement, Estimations, and the Main Sources of Uncertainties for Estimation

In the application of the Bank’s accounting policies, 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 to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The Group, when making significant accounting estimates, incorporated the potential impact of the Russo-Ukrainian War and relevant international sanctions on the economic environment into relevant material accounting estimates, such as cash flows, growth rates, discount rates, and profitability. Management will continue to review the estimates and underlying assumptions. 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.

  • 31 -

Estimated Impairment of Financial Assets

The provision for impairment of loan, 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 Note XLVII. Where the actual future cash inflows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise. Moreover, the impacts of market fluctuations due to the Russo-Ukrainian War and relevant international sanctions on the credit risk of financial assets, result in greater uncertainty regarding the estimation of the probability of default.

(I) Investments of the equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

The Bank holds the listed, emerging, and unlisted shares for long-term strategic purposes, and expects to earn profits via the long-term investment. The management believes it is inconsistent to the aforesaid long-term investment planning if the short-term fair value fluctuations of such investments are listed to profit and loss, and thus elected to designate these investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI.

Due to the consideration of the investment strategy, the Company sold the equity instrument investment measured at fair value through other comprehensive income from January 1 to June 30, 2023 and 2022. The fair value of the sale was NT$845,121 thousand and NT$3,442,297 thousand, respectively. Meanwhile, the unrealized valuation gains of NT$146,653 thousand and gains of NT$192,786 thousand accumulated during the disposal were transferred from other equity to retained earnings.

In 2023 and for the six months ended June 30, 2022, the dividend revenue recognized by the Company as investments in equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income were NT$174,609 thousand and NT$439,303 thousand, respectively, of which up to 2023 and those still held on June 30, 2022, amounted to NT$174,384 thousand and NT$412,849 thousand, respectively.

(II) Investments of the debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

For further information regarding credit risk management and impairment assessment of financial assets at FVTOCI, refer to Note XI.

The Bank had sold NT$14,802,551 thousand, NT$8,999,616 thousand and NT$23,203,939 thousand of its financial assets at FVTOCI under a repurchase agreement on June 30, 2023, December 31 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

XX. Goodwill

The Bank acquired Chung Shing Bank (Chung Shing) on March 19, 2005 and recognized goodwill amounting to $3,309,000 thousand. The goodwill amortization period was five years, and the amortization expense in 2005 was $551,500 thousand. However, the amortization of goodwill was no longer required from January 1, 2006. The Bank merged with Union Bills Finance Corporation on August 16, 2010, with the Bank as the survivor entity, and recognized goodwill amounting to $130,498 thousand.

  • 54 -

For the impairment test on Chung Shing, the Bank treated individual business units as cash-generating units (CGUs). Goodwill resulting from the merger was allocated to the relevant CGUs. The recoverable amount was determined by the value in use of each CGU, and the key assumptions adopted use the actual operations and business of CGUs or the objective information of the economic cycles as the basis of future cash flow estimation; based on the going-concern assumption, the net cash flows generated from the operations of each CGU in the next five years are forecasted. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Bank has cumulatively recognized goodwill impairment loss for NT$902,691 thousand. As of June 30, 2023, December 31 and June 30, 2022, no impairment occurred based on the Bank’s assessment.

XXX. Equity

Issued common shares with the par value of NT$10 per share, and carry one vote per share and carry a right to dividends.

Preferential shares

Due to the capital needs of the Bank for future long-term business development and operational scale expansion, the Bank’s shareholders approved and authorized the board of directors to issue ordinary shares or special shares for domestic cash capital increase (one or both, as appropriate) on June 20, 2017, in accordance with the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation or the relevant laws and regulations, in order to raise the long-term funds. The total funds to be raised through issuing new shares as authorized this time shall not be more than NT$10 billion (inclusive) as the principle. The number of shares for issue shall not be more than 800,000,000 shares (inclusive) as the principle. On June 28, 2017, the Banks’s board of directors resolved to issue preferred stock - A totaling 200,000 thousand shares, with a par value of NT$10 per share, at NT$50 per share. The issuance of shares has been approved by the FSC under Order No. 1060033586 issued on September 1, 2017.

  • 59 -

On October 24th, 2017, the capital from issue of preferred stock - A amounted to NT$10,000,000 thousand. The preferential shares - A was listed on Taiwan Stock Exchange on December 1, 2017.

The rights and other important conditions of issuance of the preferential shares - A are as follows:

  1. Maturity: Perpetual for the preferential shares A of the Bank.

  2. Dividend: The annual interest rate is 4.8% per annum (5-year IRS interest rate, 0.89125%+3.90875%) for the preferential shares A, based on the price per share. The 5-year IRS will be reset on the next business day after each fifth and half anniversary day after issuance thereafter. The pricing date for reset is the second business day of financial industry in Taipei immediately preceding each reset date. The 5-year IRS rate is the arithmetic mean of 5-year IRS rates appearing on Reuters pages “PYTWDFIX” and “COSMOS3” at 11:00 a.m. (Taipei time) on the relevant pricing date for reset. As the price of “PYTWDFIX” at the five-year IRS rate at 11:00 a.m. was not available, the Company decided to adopt the arithmetic mean of 5-year IRS rates of “TAIFXIRS” and “COSMOS3” appearing on Reuters pages at 11:00 a.m. dated April 20, 2023 as the 5-year IRS rate based on the integrity principle and reasonable market conditions. The dividend yield (annual rate) reset for the Company’s Class A preference shares from April 24, 2023 is 5.26125%.

  3. Dividend payment: Whereas Union Bank of Taiwan makes profit in a fiscal year, apart from paying the income tax by law, it shall first compensate for the deficits in previous years, appropriate the legal reserve, and appropriate or reverse the special reserve with respect to these Articles of Incorporation before distributing dividends deserved for preferential shares of the year. Union Bank of Taiwan shall enjoy the discretionary power over the distribution of dividends for preference shares, including but not limited to no earnings or earnings are insufficient for distribution of the dividend of preference shares after the annual account is closed; or should the distribution of the dividend for preference shares will cause this Bank’s capital adequacy to become lower than the minimum requirements by law or as specified by competent authorities; or should there be other necessary considerations, this Bank may decide not to distribute the dividend for preference shares, and under no circumstances shall shareholders make objections thereof. In addition,

  4. 60 -

the undistributed dividends or the shortfall in distributed dividends shall not be accumulated for compensation in future years with earnings. The shareholders’ meeting of the Union Bank of Taiwan has on June 9, 2023 passed the resolution for the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation. Dividends of preferential shares if distributed will be in cash and in one payment in a year. After the annual general meeting of shareholders ratifies the financial statements, the Board of Directors shall determine the base date to disburse the dividends for the previous year. The year of issuance and the recovery of the number of dividends issued of the year shall be calculated based on the actual number of days of issuance in the year. The amount of dividends distributed should be recognized on the dividend statements.

  1. Exceeding dividend distribution: Preferential shares A, other than the dividends received as dividend rate prescribed in the preceding paragraph, under no circumstances shall holders of preference shares be entitled to receive the dividend distributed for common shares from this Bank’s earnings and legal reserves in cash or capital reserves.

  2. Redemption of preferential shares A: After 5 years from the issue date, the Bank may redeem a portion or all of the outstanding shares of preferential shares at any time at the issue price. The rights and obligations of all types of issuance conditions of unrecovered preferential shares will continue. Should the board meeting resolution of the Bank determine to issue dividends for preferential shares A in the recovery year, the dividends to be distributed shall be calculated by the day of recovery based on the actual number of days issued in the year.

  3. Liquidation preference: In the event of liquidation, when the competent authority assigned officials to take receivership over the Bank, order the Bank to suspend and wind up business, or liquidate the Bank, in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Capital Adequacy and Capital Category of Banks”, the order of priority for the distribution of the earnings and assets of the shareholders of preferential shares A is the same as that of a common shareholder, otherwise the shareholders of preferential shares shall be given priority to claim on the Bank’s remaining assets over the shareholders of common shares, and equal to shareholders of other preferential shares issued by the Bank, but subordinate to the holders of Tier 2 capital, depositors, and

  4. 61 -

other general creditors, and not more than the issuance amount of outstanding shares of preferential shares A.

  1. Voting rights or election rights: The shareholders of preferential shares A are not entitled to any voting rights or election rights in shareholders’ meeting. However, they may vote in preferential shares A shareholders’ meetings and in general shareholder meetings with regard to agenda items concerning rights and obligations of the shareholders of preferential shares A.

  2. Convertibility to common shares: Under no circumstances shall the conversion from preferential shares A into common shares be allowed, nor shall holders of preferential shares be entitled to request the Bank to recover their preference shares held.

  3. When the Bank issues new shares in cash to increase the capital, the shareholders of preferential shares A, and the common stock shall be entitled to equivalent rights on subscribing new shares.

If a special reserve appropriated on the first-time adoption of IFRSs relates to investment properties other than land, the special reserve may be reversed continuously over the period of use. The special reserve relating to land may be reversed on the disposal or reclassification of the related assets.

The above special reserve may be used to offset a deficit; if the reserve has reached at least 50% of the paid-in capital, half of this special reserve may be capitalized.

According to May 25, 2016 Rule No. 10510001510 issued by the FSC, a special reserve should be appropriated between 0.5% and 1% of net income after tax when banks appropriate earnings of 2016 through 2018. Since 2017, the Company is allowed to reverse the special reserve at the amount of the costs of employee transfer and arrangement in connection with the development of financial technology.

(V) Retained earnings and dividend policy

Should there be net earnings after the account is closed, apart from paying the income tax by law, the Bank shall first compensate for the deficits in previous years and then appropriate thirty percent (30%) as the legal reserve. Next, the balance shall be appropriated or reversed as the special reserve by law or based on business needs. Then, the balance after that, if any, shall be combined to the accumulative unappropriated earnings of the previous year for BOD to draw up a proposal for earnings distribution and submit to AGM for adoption of the distribution of dividends and bonuses.

BOD shall draw up the proportion of distribution in cash or in stock for dividends and bonuses based on the temporal financial trend, future status of profitability, and the Bank’s budget planning. On principle, if the regulatory capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of the Bank is lower than the ratio required by competent authorities plus one percentage point after earnings distribution, distribution in stock shall first be adopted. When the legal reserve is lower than the total capital, the maximum amount of earnings distribution in cash shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the total capital.

The Bank’s AGM resolved the earning distributions for 2022 and 2021 on June 9, 2023 and May 27, 2022 as below:

If the Bank offered to settle the compensation or bonuses paid to employees in cash or shares, the Bank assumed that the entire amount of the compensation or bonuses will be settled in shares, and the resulting potential shares were included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the effect is dilutive. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares is included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the number of shares to be distributed to employees is resolved in the following year.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding used for the earnings per share computation was adjusted retrospective for the issuance of bonus shares on August 1, 2023. The basic and diluted earnings per share were both adjusted from NT$0.19 to NT$0.18 for the period between January 1 to June 30, 2023 due to the retrospective adjustment.

XLVI. Disclosure of Financial Instruments

(I) Information on fair value

1. Overview

A 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.

When initially recognizing a financial instrument, its fair value is accounted for; in many cases, it usually refers to the transaction price. Other than some financial instruments are measured at the amortized costs, the subsequent measurements are at fair values. The best evidence of fair values are the public quotations in active markets. Where the market of a financial instrument is not activate, the Bank applies the valuation models, or the quotations from Bloomberg, Reuters, or transaction counterparties to measure the fair values of the financial instruments.

  • 86 -

2. Definitions of fair value hierarchy

(1) Level 1

Level 1 financial products are traded in an active market in which there are quoted prices for identical financial products. An active market has the following characteristics:

  • A. All financial instruments in the market are homogeneous.

  • B. There are willing buyers and sellers in the market all the time.

  • C. The public can access the price information easily.

The products in this level, such as listed shares and beneficiary securities, usually have high liquidity or are traded in exchanges.

(2) Level 2

The products in Level 2 have fair values that can be inferred from either directly or indirectly observable inputs other than quoted prices in an active market. Examples of these inputs are:

  • A. Quoted prices from the similar products in an active market. This means the fair value can be derived from the current trading prices of similar products, and whether they are similar products should be judged on the characteristics and trading rules. The fair price valuation in this circumstance may be adjusted due to time differences, trading rule’s differences (time apart from present), related parties’ prices, and the correlation of observable transaction price between itself and the similar goods;

  • B. Quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in inactive markets;

  • C. For the valuation model method, the inputs to this model (such as interest rates, yield curves and volatilities) should be data available in the market (the observable inputs mean that they can be obtained from the market and can reflect the expectation of market participants);

  • D. Inputs that are derived from observable market data through correlation or other means.

The fair values of products categorized in this level are usually calculated using a valuation model generally accepted by the market. Examples are forward contracts, cross-currency swap, simple interest bearing bonds, convertible bonds and commercial paper.

  • 87 -

(3) Level 3

The fair values of the products in Level 3 are typically based on management assumptions or expectations other than the direct market data. For example, historical volatility used in valuing options is an unobservable input because it cannot represent the entire market participants’ expectation on future volatility.

The products in this level are complex derivate financial instruments or products with prices that are provided by brokers. Examples are investments in equities unlisted or without active markets, or complex foreign exchange options.

  1. Measured at fair value on a recurring basis

  2. (1) Information of the fair value hierarchies

(2) Valuation technique of measurement at fair value

A fair value refers to the amount for asset exchange or debt repayment between two parities with sufficient understanding and willingness of transaction in an arm-length transaction. The fair values of financial instruments at fair value, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, available-for-sale financial assets and hedging derivative financial instruments with quoted price in an active market are based on their market prices. Financial instruments with no quoted prices in an active market are estimated by valuation methods.

A. Marking to market

This method should be used first to determine fair value. Following are the principles to follow in marking to market:

a. Ensure the consistency and integrity of market data.

  • 90 -

  • b. The source of market data should be transparent and easy to access and can be referred to by independent resources.

  • c. Listed securities with tradable prices should be valued at closing prices.

  • d. Evaluating unlisted securities that lack tradable closing prices should use quoted prices from independent brokers.

  • B. Marking to model

The use of marking to model is suggested if marking to market is infeasible. This valuation methodology is based upon model inputs that are used to derive the value of the trading positions. The Bank uses the same estimations and assumptions as those used by market participants to determine the fair value.

The Bank uses the forward rates provided by Reuters to estimate the fair values of forward contracts, foreign exchange swap contracts, interest rate swap and cross-currency swap contracts and the discounted cash flow method to calculate the fair values of each contract. For foreign exchange option transactions, the Company uses the option pricing models which are generally used by other market participants (e.g., the Black-Scholes model) to calculate the fair value of the contracts.

  • (3) Fair value adjustment

  • A. Credit risk assessment adjustment

Credit risk assessment adjustment refers to the fair value of the over the counter (OTC) derivative financial commodity contracts, which also reflects the credit risk of both parties. It can be mainly divided into “credit evaluation adjustment” and “debit evaluation adjustment”:

  • a. Credit value adjustments (CVA): A transaction in a non-concentrated trading market, that is, the adjustment of the derivatives contract evaluation in the OTC transaction, which reflects the possibility of the Company may not be able to collect the full market value or the counterparty may default on the repayment on the fair value.

  • 91 -

b. Debit value adjustments (DVA): It refers to the transactions of the non-concentrated trading market, that is, the adjustment of the derivatives contract evaluation in the OTC transaction, which reflects the possibility that the Company may not be able to collect the full market value or the counterparty may default on the repayment of the fair value.

Both CVA and DVA are concepts of estimated loss, calculated as the probability of default (PD) multiplied by the default loss rate (LGD) and multiplied by the exposure at default (EAD).

For customers with external credit ratings, the default probability is based on the default probability corresponding to the external rating; for customers without external credit ratings, the impairment rate calculated according to the Bank’s loan and receivable impairment assessment and the average incidence of impairment is taken as the default probability.

The Bank uses the fair value of OTC derivatives to calculate the amount of default risk (EAD).

The Bank uses 60% as the default loss rate based on the recommendation of “IFRS 13 CVA and DVA Related Disclosure Guidelines” of the Stock Exchange.

The Bank incorporates the credit risk assessment adjustment into the fair value calculation of financial instruments to reflect the counterparty’s credit risk and the Company’s credit quality.

  • (4) Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2

During January 1 to June 30, 2023 and 2022, there was no material transfer between Level 1 and Level 2.

  • (7) The valuation process of Level 3 fair value measurement

To ensure that the product assessment results can be close to the market, the risk management department of the Bank is responsible for the verification of the independent fair value. For products valuated by the model, before daily valuation, the information required for the valuation will be verified as correct and consistent with each other and the department will calibrate the model to the market quotation and update the input value required for the valuation model. In addition to regular checking of the accuracy of the valuation model, the reasonableness of the prices provided by third parties will also be checked.

The asset method is adopted for the Bank’s equity investment unlisted or without active market. By valuating the total value of the individual asset and liability covered by the valuation target, the overall value of the target is reflected.

  • (8) Sensitivity analysis of Level 3 fair value if reasonably possible alternative assumptions were used

The Bank’s Level 3 financial instruments are foreign exchange options. When engaging in foreign exchange option transactions, the Bank makes a match for other banks and customers. Thus, the Company does not hold positions, and its source of profit and loss is from receiving and paying premiums. The sensitivity analysis has no effect on profit and loss since the Bank does back-to-back transactions and the assets offset the liabilities.

  • 95 -

The fair value measurement of equity investment unlisted or without active market is reasonable; provided, the use of different valuation models or parameters may lead to different results. For financial instruments classified in Level 3, if the parameter changes by 10%, the effects on profit or loss or other comprehensive income for the current periods are as follows:

XLVII. Financial Risk Management

(I) Overview

To deal with any expected or unexpected business risk, the Bank has established a comprehensive risk management system to allocate resources effectively and efficiently, strengthen business competitiveness, mitigate operational risk to a tolerable or acceptable level, and maintain the capital adequacy ratio to meet the minimum requirements of the authorities and the Basel Accord framework.

(II) Risk management framework

The board of directors, which occupies the highest level in the Bank’s risk management framework, reviews risk management policies, the overall risk management framework and the organizational structure for carrying out responsibilities and exercising accountability. The Asset/Liability Management Committee inspects management reports or information provided by business units and the Risk Management Division. The Risk Management Division is an independent unit that is in charge of reviewing the risk management system designed by business units and the compliance with risk management requirements; this division also submits risk management reports to the authorities and develops a series of risk management tools to assess the risks identified. Business units establish risk control procedures, and manage and monitor the implementation of those controls in operation units. Operation units perform daily risk management work and internal controls to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the risk management information generated.

(III) Credit risk

  1. Definitions and sources of credit risks

Credit risk refers to the risk of losses caused by clients or counterparties’ failure to fulfill their contractual obligations. The sources of credit risks cover the in- and off-balance sheet items.

  1. Strategy/objectives/policies and processes

  2. (1) Credit risk management strategy: The Bank has established the “Credit Risk Management Standards of Union Bank of Taiwan” as the basis of planning, implementing, and managing credit risk management system.

  3. 98 -

  4. (2) Credit risk management objective: The objectives are to establish and implement an effective credit risk management mechanism to mitigate credit risk, archive operational and management goals, and balance business development and risk control.

  5. (3) Credit risk management policy: The policies are meant to ensure that credit risk falls within an acceptable range and that adequate capital is maintained to meet credit risk management objectives and create maximum riskadjusted returns.

  6. (4) Credit risk management process: The Bank carries out credit risk identification, credit risk measurement, credit risk mitigation, credit risk monitoring and control and credit risk reporting process as part of its credit risk management mechanism.

  7. Credit risk management organization and framework

  8. (1) The board of directors: The board of directors, the top risk supervisor of the Bank, reviews risk management policies, operational risk limits and the design and change of credit risk management framework.

  9. (2) Asset/Liability Management Committee: This committee deliberates the management reports or information provided by business units and the Risk Management Division.

  10. (3) Risk Management Division: The Risk Management Division is an independent unit that is in charge of work related to three pillars of Basel and reviews the risk management system designed by business units and the compliance with risk management requirements; the division also submits risk management reports to the authorities and develops risk management tools to assess the risk identified.

  11. (4) Business units: Business units are responsible for establishing risk management regulations and risk control procedures and managing and monitoring the implementation of those controls in operation units.

  12. (5) Operation units: Under the risk management regulations and procedures set by business units, operation units perform daily risk management work and internal controls and prepares reports on these tasks.

  13. 99 -

  14. Scope and features of credit risk report and the measurement system

  15. (1) Scope of credit risk report

    • A. Each business unit will regularly report the promotion of the business and the allocation of risk assets to the Assets/Liability Management Committee (ALMC).

    • B. The Bank’s risk management department regularly monitors the credit limit control situations and reports to the ALMC the credit and investment concentration and the status of each business’ achieving BIS (Bank for International Settlements) goals. The department also presents the volume of business NPL situation, credit concentration and the execution of credit risk control to the board of directors.

  16. (2) Measurement system: The Bank’s credit risk management adopts the use of the standardized approach to calculate capital charge and regularly submits related reports to the government. The risk management division and business units implement the Bank’s management system and monitors the credit exposure of the business, industry, and countries as well as the concentration of credit and collateral to effectively measure and manage investment portfolio.

  17. Policy for mitigation of risks or hedging of credit risk, and the strategies/processes to monitor the continuing effectiveness of risk hedging and mitigation tools

The Bank is exposed to loss on each credit risk faced by its business. Thus, depending on the nature of the business and the cost considerations, the Bank will take appropriate remeasures to control risk. The Bank’s information systems provide information that can be used in managing risk control procedures, and the risk management division reports to the board every six months the business risk management status.

  1. Maximum exposure to credit risk of the Bank

The maximum credit exposures of assets in the balance sheets are almost equivalent to their carrying values, without considering the collaterals or other credit enhancement tools. These off-balance sheet maximum credit exposures (excluding collaterals and other credit enhancement instruments) are shown as follows:

  • 100 -

The Bank’s management believes that the credit risk exposure of these offbalance sheet items may be controlled continuously and minimized because the Bank adopts a more rigorous review process with subsequent regular reviews when granting credits.

7. Concentrations of credit risk exposure

Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of counterparties or exposure have comparable economic characteristics, or such counterparties are engaged in similar activities, or operate in the same geographical areas or industry sectors, so that their collective ability to meet contractual obligations is uniformly affected by changes in economic or other conditions.

  • 101 -

There can be credit risk concentrations in a bank’s assets, liabilities, or offbalance sheet items through the execution or processing of transactions (either product or service), or through a combination of exposures across these broad categories. These exposures can cover credits, loans and deposits, call loans to banks, investments, receivables and derivatives. The Bank does not concentrate transactions with a single client or counterparty, nor any total transaction amount of a single client or counterparty accounts for a significant share in the Bank’s discounts and loans (including non-accrual loan), accounts receivable factoring without recourse, acceptances receivable, and balance of guarantee deposit receivable. The Bank’s most significant concentrations of credit risk by industry, by geographical area, and by collaterals are summarized as follows:

8. Description of the collaterals and other credit enhancement

On the basis of the result of a credit evaluation, the Bank may require collaterals before the credit facilities are granted. To minimize credit risk, appropriate collaterals are required on the basis of the borrowers’ financials and debt service capabilities. All guarantees and appraisal procedures follow the authorities’ relevant regulations and the Bank’s internal rules. The Bank’s internal rules describe the acceptable types of collaterals, appraisal methods, appraisal process, and post-approval collateral management, which require close monitoring of the value of collaterals to ensure repayment. The main collateral types are summarized as follows:

  • (1) Real estates

  • (2) Movable

  • (3) Negotiable securities/shares

  • (4) Deposits/certificates of deposits

  • (5) Credit guarantee fund or government guarantee

The Bank observes the value of collateral for financial instruments and takes into consideration the impairment loss that should be recognized for financial assets that are credit-impaired. The values of the credit-impaired financial assets and the values of collateral to mitigate potential losses are as follows:

  1. Judgment that credit risk has increased significantly since the initial recognition

On each reporting date, the Bank assesses the change in the default risk of financial assets, as well as considers reasonable and corroborative information that shows the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, to determine whether the credit risk has increased significantly. For the assessment, the Bank considers the supporting evidence showing that the credit risk has increased significantly since the initial recognition (including the forward-looking information). The main considerations include: Quantitative indicators:

  • A. The borrower pays the amount for contracts overdue for at least one month (more than or equal to 30 days for the credit card business), or the amounts for other contracts that are overdue for at least one month (more than or equal to 30 days for the credit card business).

  • B. Debt instruments whose prices on the reporting date have fallen more than 40% from the original price since the acquisition date.

  • 104 -

  • C. Debt instruments that have non-investment grades based on the debt (priority), issuer, and guarantor’s credit rating and that have fallen by more than two grades and whose prices have fallen by more than 15% on the reporting date.

Qualitative indicators

  • A. The borrower’s check bounced due to insufficient funds in the Bank’s checking account, or announced as a rejected account.

  • B. The borrower’s collateral was seized.

  • C. The borrower’s debt has been recognized as a non-accrual loan or transferred to bad debt by other financial institutions.

  • D. The borrower has request restructured and ruled for the restructure.

  • E. An auditors’ report on the borrower has been released where it was stated that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the borrower’s ability to continue as a going concern.

  • F. The borrower has other bad debts that indicate that the borrower’s ability to perform its debt obligations is weak or has signs of impairment, which has been assessed to affect its operations or solvency.

  • Definition of default and credit impaired financial assets

The Bank uses the same definitions for default and credit impairment of financial assets. If one or more of the conditions below are met, the Bank determines that the financial assets have defaulted and are credit impaired:

  • A. The borrower pays the amount for contracts overdue for at least 3 months (90 days and above for the credit card business).

  • B. The debtor has significant financial difficulties (e.g., the debtor has ceased operations, is bankrupt, or has liquidated).

  • C. Economic or legal considerations, concessions to borrowers with financial difficulties (such as debt negotiations).

If the financial assets no longer meet the definition of default and credit impairment, they are judged as regaining their status of meeting performance obligations and are no longer regarded as financial assets that have defaulted and are credit impaired.

  • 105 -

11. Write-off policy

When the Bank is not reasonably expected to recover all or part of the financial assets, the indicators that all or part of the financial assets that cannot be reasonably expected to be recovered include the following:

(1) Recourse activities have stopped.

  • (2) The borrower is assessed to have insufficient assets or sources of income to pay the outstanding amount.

The financial assets that have been written off by the Bank may still have ongoing recourse activities in accordance with the relevant policies.

  1. Contractual cash flow modification of financial assets

The Bank may modify the contractual cash flow of financial assets due to the borrower’s financial difficulties, increase in the recovery rate of the doubtful borrowers, or to maintain customer relationships. The modification of the contractual terms of the financial assets may include extending the contract period, modifying the interest payment time, and modifying the agreed interest rate or the exemption of some of the outstanding debts. The modification of contractual cash flows of financial assets may result in the delisting of existing financial assets in accordance with the Bank’s financial assets delisting policy and recognition of new financial assets at fair value.

If the contractual cash flow modification of a financial asset does not result in a derecognition, the Bank assesses whether the credit risk of the financial asset has increased significantly by comparing the following:

(1) Risk of default on the reporting date (based on modified contract terms).

  • (2) The risk of default at the time of original recognition (based on the original unmodified contract terms).

The Bank considers the borrower’s subsequent payment in accordance with the revised terms and several relevant behavioral indicators to assess the probability of default of the revised financial assets and confirm whether the contract modification improves or restores the ability of the Bank to recover the relevant contract payments. If the borrower pays the contract amount according to the revised terms and shows good payment behavior, it can be determined that the credit risk is reduced and the loss allowance will be measured by the 12-month expected credit loss.

  • 106 -

The Bank regularly reviews the changes in credit risk of the revised financial assets in accordance with relevant policies, and evaluates whether there is a significant increase in credit risk following the revised financial assets based on a specific model.

13. Measurement of expected credit losses

For the purpose of assessing expected credit losses, credit assets are classified into the following groups based on the credit risk characteristics of the borrower’s industry, credit risk rating, collateral type and remaining maturity period:

Business Group Terms and definitions
Corporate
banking
Corporate banking Corporate Finance
Consumer
banking
Home loans Mortgages business
Financial loans Financial loan business
Credit card Credit card business
Others Other business

The Bank adopts the 12-month ECL model to evaluate the loss allowance of financial instruments whose credit risk have not increased significantly since initial recognition, and adopt the lifetime ECL model to evaluate the loss allowance of financial instruments whose credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition or of that are credit-impaired.

The Bank considers both the 12-month and lifetime probability of default (“PD”) of the borrower with the loss given default (“LGD”), multiplied by the exposure at default (“EAD”), as well as the impact of time value, to calculate the 12-month ECLs and lifetime ECLs, respectively.

“PD” refers to the borrower’s probability to default and “LGD” refers to losses caused by the default. The Bank calculates the “PD” and “LGD” used in the impairment assessment of the credit business according to each group’s historical information (such as credit loss experience) from internal statistical data, and after adjustment of the historical data based on current observable and forward-looking macroeconomic information.

When the Bank estimates the 12-month and lifetime expected credit losses for its loan commitments, it will give different credit conversion factors according to the characteristics of each product. The Bank will also take into consideration the amount that is expected to be utilized within 12 months from the reporting date and the expected lifetime of each commitment in determining the default risk amount that is used to calculate the expected credit loss.

The estimation techniques or material assumptions used to assess expected credit losses have not changed significantly during the current period. 14. Consideration of forward-looking information

The Bank’s credit (including credit card) segments are based on different loan properties, such as corporate banking, consumer finance, credit, car loans and credit cards, and forward-looking model estimates are carried out, based on actual default rates and overall economic variables of each segment in the past quarters. The default rate for the next year is estimated using the credit risk chain model, by estimating the relationship between the default rate and the overall economic variables. The investment function makes reference to external credit ratings in their consideration of forward-looking information.

(IV) Liquidity Risks

  1. Source and definition of liquidity risk

Liquidity risk means banks cannot provide sufficient funding for asset size growth and for meeting obligations on matured liabilities or have to make late payments to counterparties or raise emergency funding to cover funding gaps.

  1. Liquidity risk management strategy and principles

  2. (1) The Board of Directors shall be the top decision-making unit of the Bank to review and approve policies for liquidity risk management. The Asset/Liability Management Committee shall be the top implementation unit of liquidity risk management to establish appropriate monitoring processes and take necessary actions.

  3. (2) In making internal transfer pricing, performance evaluation and new product development decisions, the operation units take liquidity cost and product effectiveness and risks into consideration and align their decisions with the Company’s overall liquidity risk management policies.

  4. (3) Capital management departments shall establish a conservative and steady capital management strategy, effectively disperse capital sources and time limits, constantly participate in the lending market, maintain a close relationship with capital providers, and maintain fluency in all fund-raising channels, in order to ensure the stability and reliability of capital sources.

  5. (4) To strengthen the Bank’s liquidity risk management, related regulations shall be established to define the routine handling process and implementation details to maintain appropriate liquidity.

  6. (5) The risk management units report the Bank’s liquidity position to the Asset/Liability Management Committee monthly and report the Bank’s liquidity risk management to the board of directors regularly.

  7. 110 -

  8. The maturity analysis of financial assets held for managing the liquidity risks and non-derivative financial liabilities

  9. (1) Financial assets held for managing the liquidity risks

The Bank holds cash and quality profit-generating assets with high liquidity to fund the debt-repaying obligation, and the assets held for managing the liquidity risk to fund the needs of potential emergent fund deployment existing in the market, including: cash and cash equivalents, dues from the Central Bank and other banks, financial assets measured at FVTPL, financial assets measured at FVTOCI, investment of debt instrument measured at amortized costs, and discounts and loans.

  • (2) The maturity analysis of non-derivative financial liabilities

The following table shows the analysis of cash outflows from nonderivative financial liabilities by the residual maturities between the parent-only balance sheet dates to maturities. The amounts of cash outflows are based on contractual cash flows, so some amounts may not correspond to those that shown in the parent-only balance sheets.

  • (V) Market risks

1. Source and definition of market risk

Market risk is defined as an unfavorable change in market prices (such as interest rates, exchange rates, stock prices and commodity prices), which may cause financial instruments classified in the trading book to give rise to a potential loss in- or off-balance sheet items.

  1. Market risk management strategy and processes

  2. (1) The Bank implements the “Market Risk Management Standards of Union Bank of Taiwan”, which had been approved by the board of directors, as the basis of market risk management.

  3. (2) The market risk management processes are risk identification, risk measurement, risk monitoring and control, risk reporting and risk mitigation.

    • A. Risk identification: For balance sheet and off-balance sheet items, the Company identifies and assesses market risk factors of products and the investment business and subjects them to risk management, monitoring and control procedures.

    • B. Risk measurement: In principle, each investment or transaction has at least one risk measurement tool - such as sensitivity analysis, value at risk and stress testing, which can be applied to variables, such as fair market value and notional amounts, to quantify market risk.

  4. 113 -

    • C. Risk monitoring and control: Each operation unit observes the risk limit regulation stated in its operating manual and regularly monitors risk control. The department of risk management is responsible for summarizing and reporting the Company’s overall market risk monitoring.

    • D. Risk reporting: The risk management reports are classified as regular report, over-limit report and exception report. Regular reports are the management statements sent to the appropriate level in accordance with certain requirements. Over-limit reports are about situations in which risk limits are exceeded. Exception reports contain operation units’ recommendations on how to meet temporary business needs.

    • E. Risk mitigation: An operation unit may take certain action to reduce risk, such as hedging, investment combination adjustment, position adjustment, setting a break-even point, halting new transactions, etc.

  5. Market risk management organization and framework

  6. (1) The board of directors: The board of directors, the top market risk supervisor of the Bank, reviews market risk management policies, operational risk limits and the design and change of market risk management framework.

  7. (2) Asset/Liability Management Committee: This committee deliberates the management reports or information provided by business management units and the Risk Management Division.

  8. (3) Risk Management Division: The Risk Management Division is an independent unit in charge of the work related to three pillars of Basel and of the development of market risk management tools to assess and control the risk identified through setting risk limits.

  9. (4) Operation units: Operation units perform daily market risk management work and report the market risk of investment positions and related information to the authorities.

  10. Scope and features of market risk report and the measurement system

  11. (1) The market risk of the trading book financial instruments is measured in accordance with the fair market value or evaluation model and the profit and loss situation is evaluated regularly.

  12. 114 -

  13. (2) The business units and the risk management division prepares management reports periodically and report to the appropriate level.

  14. (3) The market risk management system combines the evaluation of the front and middle offices to generate information that will assist management in risk monitoring. Moreover, the system supports the capital accrual method being used by the Company through generating internal and external reports for management’s decision making.

  15. Market risk measurement of trading book

The Bank assesses the market risk exposure of the trading book in conformity with an assessment model using publicly quoted market prices or other measurement methods, including interest rate sensitivity analysis (DV01 value) and stress tests. The interest rate sensitivity analysis (DV01 value) refers to changes in market interest by 1 basis point (0.01%); the abnormal stress test system deals with market volatility and involves the regular estimation of possible losses (stress loss) and of the impact of stress test scenarios on major asset portfolios and the Bank’s profit and loss.

  1. Banking book market risk

  2. (1) Interest rate risk

For the loans and deposits and other interest rate-related items in the Bank’s balance sheet, including interest rate sensitive assets and interest rate sensitive liabilities; for the period of January 1 to June 30, 2023 and 2022, assuming all market risk indicators, except interest rates, remained constant, an interest rate increase or decrease by 100bps would result in an increase or decrease in profit before tax by NT$446,562 thousand and NT$336,974 thousand, respectively.

  • (2) Exchange rate risk

The exchange rate risk of the banking book refers to the business operation of the International Banking Department of the Bank’s Head Office and the operating funds in foreign currencies required by the ROC or local regulations; if there are adverse exchange rate changes, the income statement or cumulative translation adjustments in equity would be negatively affected.

  • 115 -

The International Banking Department (IBD) of the Bank’s Head Office is a going concern, and its operating funds are foreign currencies for business needs. However, the exchange rate risk on these funds is not significant because the percentage of the operating funds to the Bank’s total assets is small, as shown by the immaterial ratio of the IBD’s cumulative translation adjustment to the Bank’s net worth.

  1. Exchange rate risk concentration information

The information of significant foreign currency financial assets and liabilities is as follows:

8. Effect of interest rate benchmark reform

The Bank’s financial instruments subject to interest rate benchmark reform include the derivative instruments and non-derivative financial assets and liabilities. The type of linked rate benchmark is USD London Interbank Offered Rates (LIBOR). SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) is expected to replace USD LIBOR, but the two are different in their nature. USD LIBOR is “forward looking”, which implies market expectation over future interest rates, and includes a credit spread over the risk-free rate. SOFR is currently a “backward-looking” rate, based on interest rates from actual transactions, and excludes a credit spread. Therefore, when existing contracts and agreements that reference USD LIBOR transfer to SOFR, adjustments for these differences might need to be applied to SOFR to enable the two benchmark rates to be economically equivalent.

  • 118 -

Risks arising from the transition relate principally to the potential impact of interest rate basis risk. If the bilateral negotiations with the Bank’s counterparties are not successfully concluded before the cessation of USD LIBOR, the case will bring significant uncertainties to the future interest rate basis applied to financial instruments, and give rise to additional interest rate risk that was not anticipated when the contracts were entered into. If a hedged financial instrument and the related hedging derivative instruments are transited to alternative benchmark rates at different times, it could result in hedge ineffectiveness.

As of June 30, 2023, the non-derivative financial instruments held by the Bank subject to the reform and have not transitioned to an alternative benchmark interest rate nor the contingent terms added are summarized as follows:

  • (VI) Transfers of financial assets

Transferred financial assets not entirely derecognized

Most of the transferred financial assets of the Bank during daily operations that are not derecognized in their entirety are debenture securities under repurchase agreements or the equity securities loaned under the securities loaning agreement. 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 are reflected. 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 are not derecognized in their entirety and the associated financial liabilities are as follows:

(VII) measured at FVTPL

The Bank has the financial instrument transaction offsetting to which the Paragraph 42 of IAS 32 endorsed by the FSC is applicable; the financial assets and liabilities related to such transactions are presented on a net basis on the balance sheets.

  • 120 -

The Bank also has the repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements not complying to the offsetting criteria in IAS but entered the enforceable netting arrangements or similar agreements, such as global master repurchase agreement or global securities lending agreement. When delivering in net amount is elected by both transaction parties under the enforceable netting arrangements or similar agreements, the delivery may be made in the net amount after offsetting the financial assets and liabilities, or in the total amount if no such agreement. However, where any of the transaction party defaults, the counterparty may opt to deliver in the net amount.

XLVIII. Capital Management

(I) Strategies to maintain capital adequacy

Under the regulations set by the authorities, the Bank complies with the requirements set each year for the minimum consolidated capital adequacy ratios, including the common equity Tier I capital ratio; the Bank’s leverage ratio is also in accordance with the requirements of the relevant authorities. These ratios are applied in accordance with the regulations announced by the authorities.

(II) Capital assessment procedure

The capital ratios and leverage ratios are applied, analyzed, monitored and reported regularly, and are assigned to each business unit as the target capital adequacy ratios. The business units’ compliance with the ratio requirements is tracked regularly, and remedial action is taken if the capital and leverage ratio requirements are not met.

  • Note 1: Eligible capital and risk-weighted assets are calculated under the “Regulations Governing the Capital Adequacy Ratio of Banks” and the “Explanation of Methods for Calculating the Eligible Capital and Riskweighted Assets of Banks.”

  • Note 2: Formulas used were as follows:

    1. Eligible capital = Common equity Tier 1 capital + Other Tier 1 capital + Tier 2 capital.

    2. Risk-weighted assets = Risk-weighted asset for credit risk + Capital requirements for operational risk and market risk x 12.5.

    3. Capital adequacy ratio = Eligible capital ÷ Risk-weighted assets.

    4. Ratio of Common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets = Common equity Tier 1 capital ÷ Risk-weighted assets.

    5. Ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets = (Common equity Tier 1 capital + Other Tier 1 capital) ÷ Risk-weighted assets.

    6. Leverage ratio = Tier 1 capital ÷ Exposure Measurement

  • The Banking Act and related regulations require that the Bank maintains its

  • unconsolidated and consolidated CARs at a minimum of 10.5%, the Tier 1 Capital Ratio at a minimum of 8.5% and the Common Equity Tier 1 Ratio at a minimum of 7.0%. In addition, if the Bank’s CAR falls below the minimum requirement, the authorities may impose certain restrictions on its distribution of earnings.

  • (II) The Bank’s Securities Department adopts the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair values of financial products.

  • The fair values of short-term financial products are estimated with their carrying values on the balance sheet. Since such products have very short maturities, their carrying values shall be a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values. This method is applied to cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable - net, other financial assets, other current assets, internal transactions, accounts payable, collection for others, other payables (excluding the tax payables) and other current liabilities.

  • Operation bonds, settlement and clearing funds and refundable deposits mostly bear interests, with moderate effect of discounted value; thus, their fair values are estimated as their carrying amounts.

  • (III) As of June 30, 2023, December 31 and June 30, 2022, the financial instruments of the Bank’s Securities Department measured at fair value on the recurring basis have the following fair value hierarchies:

  • (IV) Information of Financial Risk

1. Market risks

The transactions of the Bank’s Securities Department are measured at fair value, and may be increased or decreased based on the changes in valuation parameters, such as market price of the underlying products, market interest rates, or maturities, and hedged strategically to reduce the exposures to risks.

  1. Credit risk

The credit risks of the Bank’s Securities Department come from the entrusted transactions of negotiable securities, and the risks of default by the bond issuers or transaction counterparties. Before engaging in entrusted transactions or tradings, the Bank’s Securities Department assesses the credit profiles of the counterparties, and cites the external credit ratings as the reference timely. For the counterparties or customers with different ratings, the defined transaction limits are assigned to control the loss from default in an extreme circumstance.

Debt instruments that the Securities Department invested in have been further split into two categories, financial assets at FVTOCI and financial assets at amortized cost:
