Dear Shareholders,

The Company’s operating revenue for 2020 was NT$8,081,941 thousand (the same below), and the total equity reached NT$5,847,193 thousand, setting a new record again. In recent years, the Company emphasizes a good liquidity structure in terms of investment management policy, and adopts a reasonable asset allocation to make investment revenue continue to grow steadily. The Company’s underwriting performance is driven by the good domestic automobile sales and the increase in the rate of some insurance types. Also, the Company has obtained more business expansion performance, made progress in the underwriting capabilities and reinsurance arrangements of the commercial insurance business, and the improved overall operating performance year by year. Therefore, Taiwan Ratings recognized the Company as having strong capital and profitability. The Company continued to receive ratings of “twAA/stable” from Taiwan Ratings, and the rating outlook was “stable”. Standard & Poor’s and A.M. Best continued to affirm the Company, granting “A-” and “A- (Excellent)” ratings, respectively, and the rating outlook is “stable”. The Company’s good business performance and significant progress in many aspects come from shareholders’ long-term supports and all employees’ hard work over the years. We hereby express our tremendous gratitude to shareholders and employees.

Chapter 2 Company Profile

I. Date of Incorporation: February 20, 1963

II. Company History

The Company was established in February 1963. At that time, it was founded by overseas Chinese and domestic entrepreneurs. Therefore, it was named “Union”. After that, it successfully applied for stock listing on May 5, 1992, becoming the first listed company in Taiwan’s property insurance industry. In order to expand its business bases and strengthen its core competitiveness, the Company acquired Taiwan China Mariners' Insurance Company in October 2002. This was the first successful merger in the domestic property and casualty insurance industry, making future development more competitive.

In June 2007, Want Want Group took over, and then completed the capital reduction and increase in August 2007. In order to strengthen corporate governance, the Company held an interim shareholder meeting on November 19, 2007, re-electing nine directors (including two independent directors) and two supervisors with fresh images and professional capabilities and renaming the Company “Union Insurance Co., Ltd.”. In order to further improve the Company’s financial structure, the Board of Directors actively handled three private placements and one public offering of cash capital increase, and handled capital reduction in 2012. As of the first quarter of 2021, the paid-in capital amounted to NT$2.236 billion. At present, the Company’s capital adequacy ratio has reached the requirements of first-tier insurance companies.

The Company’s Head Office is located in Taipei City, and has 17 branches, 10 service centers and 16 liaison offices across Taiwan, forming an island-wide network to develop business and provide quality customer services. The Company is mainly engaged in fire insurance, motor insurance, marine insurance, casualty insurance, engineering insurance, A&H insurance and reinsurance, and was approved by the competent authority to operate health insurance business on November 28, 2008. The annual performance for 2020 reached NT$ 10.23 billion, a growth of 4%, a market share of 5.5%, ranking sixth in the market with stable profitability. Therefore, Taiwan Ratings recognized the Company as having strong capital and profitability. The Company continued to receive ratings of “twAA/stable” from Taiwan Ratings, and the rating outlook was “stable”. Standard & Poor’s and A.M. Best continued to affirm the Company, granting “A-” and “A- (Excellent)” ratings, respectively, and the rating outlook is “stable”. In terms of business competition, the Company still adheres to the prudential control of business quality, strengthens product development and service innovation, and improves operational efficiency and continues to rebuild the information core system. With the efforts of all employees, we continue to provide customers with the best service and become the most trusted property insurance company for customers.

  1. Audit report on the internal control system audited by CPAs

Independent Auditors’ Report on the Internal Control System

To The Board of Directors of Union Insurance Company:

We have audited the two constituent elements of the attached document submitted by Union Insurance Company, one of which was a statement on March 26, 2021 asserting that the design and implementation of its internal control system of 2020 (including the reports filed with the competent authorities as required by its internal control system relating to financial reporting) was effective, the other one was a statement asserting its regulatory compliance (i.e. conducting the tasks prescribed in Rule Letter No.0930014734 issued by the Ministry of Finance). The establishment and maintenance of an appropriate internal control system is the responsibility of the management; our responsibility is to present an audit report on the statement of the internal control system issued by Union Insurance Company based on the audit results.

We conducted the audit work in accordance with Regulations Governing Implementation of Internal Control and Auditing System of Insurance Enterprises, Regulations Governing Foreign Investments by Insurance Companies, the Official Letter No. 0920704313 issued by the Ministry of Finance on May 5, 2003, and the Official Letter No. 0930014734 dated March 30, 2004 issued by the Ministry of Finance (which stipulated the audit scope for independent auditors performing an audit on the effectiveness of the design and implementation of the regulatory compliance system of an insurance company). The procedures include understanding and evaluating the design of the aforementioned system, testing and evaluating its implementation, and other audit procedures that we deem necessary. We, as independent auditors, believe that our audit work may be used as a reasonable basis to support our opinion.

64

Any internal control system has inherent constraints. Hence, it is possible that the aforementioned internal control system of Union Insurance Company may not be able to prevent or detect errors or frauds that have already taken place. In addition, future circumstances may change and the degree of compliance with the internal control system may also abate. Therefore, the fact that the internal control system is effective in this period does not mean that it will be effective in the future.

In our opinion, the statement issued by Union Insurance Company on the design and implementation of the internal control system for 2020 relating to financial reporting (including the correctness of reports filed with the competent authority as required by its internal control system relating to financial reporting) and assurance of asset security (i.e. prevent assets from unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposal), except for items listed in the Appendix Tables, is an effective statement, in that its judgment is based on items for judgment as specified in the "Regulations Governing Implementation of Internal Control and Auditing System of Insurance Enterprises" and "Regulations Governing Establishment of Internal Control Systems by Public Companies" and thus is considered effective in all material aspects. In addition, the design and implementation of its regulatory compliance system (i.e. tasks prescribed in the Official Letter No. 0930014734 issued by the Ministry of Finance) are handled in accordance with relevant laws and regulations in all material aspects.

V. The Company's Dividend Policy and Implementation

(I) Dividend Policy:

  1. The If there are earnings, the Company shall first pay the tax, make up the losses in previous years and set aside a legal capital reserve at 20% of the earnings left over, until the accumulated legal capital reserve has equaled the total capital of the Company; then set aside special capital reserve or reversal special reserve in accordance with relevant laws or regulations or as requested by the authorities in charge. After that, the Company may delegate the Board of Directors, depending on the operating circumstance, to allocate a certain portion of retained earnings as a reserve, then the remaining balance plus unappropriated retained earnings in previous years shall be calculated in an Earnings Distribution report and submitted to the shareholders' meeting for approval.

The Board of Directors is delegated to make reasonable remuneration for the Independent Directors whose remuneration shall not be included in the Company's earnings distribution. The Company is in the property insurance industry. Therefore, the Company must develop its business by complying with government policies and meeting the capital adequacy ratio, and by strengthening the Company's underwriting capacity and solvency. The Company's dividend distribution policy shall be subject to the current and future investment environment, capital needs, market competition, and capital budgeting of the Company, so as to take care of shareholders’ interest, dividend equalization, and long-term financial planning of the Company. The Board of Directors shall prepare an Earnings Distribution Proposal every year according to law. The distribution of earnings may be distributed in cash dividends or stock dividends. However, the ratio of cash dividends shall not be less than 10% of the total dividends, except in the event that cash dividends are less than NT$0.1 per share, in which case stock dividends may be distributed instead.

2020 0.8 - To be determined

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation does not specify a fixed dividend distribution rate, because such a rate shall be subject to adjustment based on various considerations, such as having to strengthen the Company’s underwriting capacity and solvency, having to take care of the long-term financial planning that involves capital needs in a future investment environment, and having to properly meet shareholders’ demands for cash inflow. In addition, the distribution rate shall be determined by a resolution of the Shareholders’ Meeting.

Dividend distribution for the next three years is expected to be no less than 30% of the distributable earnings generated at that year, which is arrived at by subtracting the annual earnings from payment for tax and duties, payment made to offset pervious deficits, and allocation of legal reserves, special reserves, and remuneration for directors and employees; in principle, cash dividends distributed shall not be less than 10% of total dividends distributed.

77

Calculated based on the actual number of outstanding shares of the Company on December 31, 2020, the allotted cash dividend per share is NT$0.8, which is still under the resolution of the shareholders’ meeting.

  • (III) Please specify any material changes in the expected dividend policy: None

  • The amount of remuneration for employees and directors of the Company in 2020 is estimated based on the number of distributions stipulated in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation.

2. Industry Developments

COVID-19 raged around the world in 2020. In order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, countries have adopted strict control measures such as closing cities, closing borders, and restricting personnel activities. This has brought global economic demand to a near halt, and international crude oil and raw material prices have plummeted, thus causing the global GDP to shrink by 4.3% in 2020, which is more serious than the 1.7% decline during the financial turmoil. Although governments in various countries have invested financial resources and released currencies to save the economy, large-scale fiscal stimulus and monetary easing policies have combined to rescue the economic crisis and finance risks, but the IMF estimates that the global economy will shrink by 3.5% in 2020, the largest decline since the Great Depression in 1929.

At the beginning of 2020, Taiwan was dragged down by the sharp global economic recession, and the economy in the first half of the year has declined significantly. However, since the third quarter of 2020, as major countries restarted economic activities, the prosperity of domestic traditional industries has recovered month by month as overseas demand rebounded. COVID-19 epidemic has driven the development of long-distance and digital transformation business opportunities, and accelerated the transfer of global supply chains. In addition, the emergence of urgent orders from major Chinese factories under US sanctions has created favorable conditions for Taiwan’s exports and production. Taiwan’s economy has not declined due to COVID-19 epidemic. On the contrary, Taiwan became a few countries in the world where the economy is growing, and its economic performance has astounded the world. At the beginning of the year, Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics has amended the economic growth rate of 3.11% in 2020. Among the top 30 countries in the world by GDP, Taiwan’s economic scale ranked 21st, but its economic growth rate ranked first. The property and casualty insurance industry has also benefited from the increase in domestic economic growth. The annual written premium revenue was NT$187.39 billion, an increase of NT$11 billion from the written premium of NT$176.39 billion in 2019. However, the border blockade of various countries has greatly reduced travel insurance premium revenue. The growth rate fell from 6.99% in 2019 to 6.24%.

With the widespread use of vaccines, the global economy is expected to emerge from the haze of the epidemic in 2021. Coupled with low base period factors, international oil prices are recovering moderately, raw material prices are slowly rising, and the use of emerging technologies is booming. Major international forecasting agencies all agree that the global economy and major countries’ economies will turn from recession to growth in 2021, and global economic and trade growth will be significantly better than 2020 performance. Due to the proper control of the epidemic in Taiwan, the booming demand for emerging technologies, the continuous investment of semiconductor manufacturers in advanced manufacturing processes, and the benefit of the reorganization of the global supply chain,

86

Taiwan’s export performance will grow substantially. Secondly, the government vigorously promotes green energy construction, attracts foreign investment in Taiwan, promotes the “Six Core Strategic Industries” based on the past 5+2 innovative industries, in an effort to build Taiwan into a center of “High-end Manufacturing, High-Tech R&D, Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing Process, Green Energy Development”, and improve Taiwan’s key position and economic resilience. Therefore, on the whole, domestic and external demands have improved simultaneously, making the economic growth rate of 2021 higher than that of 2020. The Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics, Executive Yuan predicts the economic growth rate of Taiwan in 2021 will be 4.64%, and the growth momentum is expected to be better than that of most economies. Due to the close relationship between insurance demand and economic growth and national income, the overall product insurance business development in 2021 is expected to continue to show a growth trend.

3. Relationship Amongst Upstream, Midstream, and Downstream of the Industry

The insurance industry is different from the production business. The product insurance company business underwrites other risks of non-life insurance. It mainly sells insurance contracts. In addition to the direct solicitation of insurance companies from insurers, some of them are sold through insurance brokers and agents. Therefore, the latter is downstream of the source of insurance business. In addition, the business undertaken is for risk dispersion, and reinsurance arrangements are used to increase the underwriting capacity to support business development. Therefore, reinsurance companies are in the upstream of the insurance industry. Insurance companies improve business quality and gain a competitive advantage by relying on downstream (insurance brokers and agents) and their own market development capabilities, underwriting technology, and management performance. At the same time, they can expand their business through appropriate arrangements for upstream reinsurance to increase underwriting capacity. Therefore, reinsurance companies, insurance companies and insurance brokers and agents must be closely integrated in order to achieve overall benefits.

4. Product Development Trends and Competition Landscape

The concept of risk insurance, knowing the danger is not in danger is deeply rooted in the minds of individuals and enterprises, so everyone has the concept and demand for risk dispersion, so that insurance is an irreplaceable product. However, in the past, the protection provided by various insurance companies was not very different, resulting in fierce competition among product insurers to cut prices. In recent years, companies have devoted themselves to innovative R&D, developing “unique” products, hoping to differentiate the market from leading product price and not blindly pursuing growth. Seeking profitable target customers and pursuing long-term underwriting profits have become the mainstream development trend.

3. Future Market Supply, Demand, and Growth Potential

(1) Supplies

Taiwan maintained a total of 19 domestic and foreign property insurance companies in 2020, including 14 local insurance companies and 5 foreign property insurance companies. The overall business was still concentrated in 14 domestic property insurance companies, of which, the market share of the top three property insurance companies reached more than 10%, their business volume accounted for 47% of the overall business. There were as many as 11 insurance companies with a market share of less than 5%, nearly 60%, and the total share was only 22.2%. It is obvious that the trend of “size does matter” in the overall property insurance market has not changed. Due to the large number of property insurance companies and fierce market competition, most of the business is still concentrated in some property insurance companies. Since 2016, Hotai Property Insurance, a subsidiary of Hotai Auto, has entered the market, resulting in TOYOTA vehicle business transfer, and its market ranking has improved from 12th in 2017 to 8th in 2020. The written premium in 2020 have even exceeded NT$10 billion, which has greatly impacted the motor insurance business of other insurance companies. In order to maintain their market share, the

91

competition various property and casualty insurance companies will become increasingly fierce.

  • (2) Demands

Due to the close relationship between insurance demand and economic growth and national income, Taiwan’s economy has been growing slowly in recent years. In recent years, due to abnormal weather, natural disasters, and fire accidents, companies have increasingly increased their demand for risk transfer from their own operations. The demand for commercial insurance continues to increase. In addition, Taiwan’s property insurance market penetration is still low compared with advanced countries, so the development space is promising. In recent years, people are increasing awareness of liability insurance due to public accidents, frequent food safety issues and changes in the legal environment. Coupled with the increasing importance of the government and society in the protection of consumer rights, as well as the increasing awareness of insurance among people, people’s demand for product insurance products is expected to continue to increase.

  • (3) Growth potential

  • Benefited from the gradual improvement in global economy and trade, the booming demand for technology applications, the continued implementation of Taiwanese investment in return, and the proper control of the domestic epidemic, the daily lives of people in Taiwan are not affected. It is estimated that Taiwan’s export, investment, and consumption troika will work together in 2021, driving the steady growth of the overall economy. In addition, the government continuously and advance deploys, actively guides private capital to invest in entity construction, accelerates the construction of supply chains for emerging industries, and strengthens the key position of Taiwan’s industry in the world. Domestic leading manufacturers continue to expand capital expenditures, private companies respond to the government’s green energy policy, and green energy investment is gradually heating up. With 5G infrastructure construction and nano advanced process investment, private investment growth momentum is boosted, and the fundamentals of Taiwan stocks are stable. The positive growth of employee salaries and the increase in disposable income of the people are expected to drive a strong rebound in private consumption, which will help the development of motor insurance, fire insurance, engineering insurance, and transportation insurance businesses. However, the global epidemic has not been effectively controlled, and the ban on overseas tourism and international tourists to Taiwan may continue. The travel liability insurance and travel insurance business will still be affected, and it is difficult to have room for growth in 2021.

4. Competitive niche:

The Company has 17 branches and 10 service centers, 16 liaison offices, in the province, and 2 marketing departments in the Head Office. The service network is extremely dense. With the recruitment of professionals in finance, actuarial, and air management, the quality of personnel has improved and the professional team has become stronger. In addition, as the Company’s new core system, e-commerce platform, online insurance system and official website revision and other information transformation operations are completed one after another, improving operational efficiency and accelerating customer service. In terms of marketing strategies, in

92

addition to cooperating with the insurance agency system marketing, the Company successfully and strategically joined hands with a number of banks, life insurance companies and special channels, and achieved good results. In the future, we will strengthen marketing channel services and maintain continuous business growth by utilizing project management methods.

5. The favorable and unfavorable factors of the development prospect and countermeasures

(1) Advantages:

  • A. The Company continued to receive ratings of “twAA/stable” from Taiwan Ratings. Standard & Poor’s and A.M. Best continued to affirm the Company, granting “A-” and “A- (Excellent)” ratings, respectively, and the rating outlook is “stable”, which reflects Want Want Union’s strong business underwriting performance, capital level and wellmanaged asset risk, stabilizes customer confidence and assists employees in business development.

  • B. The Company has obtained the double international standard certification of BS 10012 personal information management system and ISO 27001 information security management system. The Company implements the personal information protection policy in the Company’s culture and operating procedures, and strengthens the effectiveness of the implementation of information security management, so as to ensure the basic requirements for information confidentiality and represent Want Want Union’s intentions and commitment to protecting personal data.

  • C. Attach importance to self-discipline and jointly maintain market order: Improve efficiency and service quality, replace unreasonable price competition, and underwrite risks in a healthy competition manner, which is conducive to long-term business development and allows the market to develop soundly.

  • D. Emphasize the enhancement of underwriting claims, and continue to screen good-quality businesses, which will help reduce the loss rate and increase the underwriting profit.

  • E. Launch various combination products can meet the different needs of the market, and facilitate sales by business personnel, and increase the transaction rate.

(2) Disadvantages:

  • A. In order to increase market share, property insurers have led to fierce market competition. Part of the price cut competition will still exist, which is unfavorable for the expansion of insurance business.

  • B. In recent years, global warming has led to global climate abnormalities and frequent international natural disasters. Reinsurance companies have suffered serious losses, resulting in increased reinsurance premiums and reduced reinsurance commission income.

  • D. Actively recruit excellent business employees and improve the quality of underwriting and claim adjusters, and provide customers with “damage prevention services” to expand business scale and improve customer satisfaction.

  • E. Properly arrange reinsurance to transfer huge risks such as natural disasters at the lowest cost to avoid affecting the Company’s financial security.

  • F. Strengthen corporate risk management and internal audit and internal control operations, increase capital utilization income, and control expenses and costs, so as to protect shareholders’ rights and interests and create the Company’s value.

from the promotion activities of the various car brands, and from the government’s incentive package to subsidize
replacement of an old car with a new one.
(III) Return on fund utilization and return on investment: increased due to slight growth of profit before tax generated both
from the increase ingains on financial assets at fair value throughprofit or loss,and from better investmentperformance.

Note 1: The financial data for the most recent five years has been audited by CPAs. Note 2: This indicator is a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) specific to the product insurance industry.

Note 2: The calculation formulas for the analysis items are as follows:

1. Business indicators

  • (1) Rate of change in direct premium revenue = (Cumulative amount of direct premium revenue in the current period - Cumulative amount of direct premium revenue in the same period last year)/Cumulative amount of direct premium revenue in the same period last year

  • “Direct Insurance Premium Revenue” refers to the insurance premium revenue obtained by insurance companies directly issuing insurance policies to the insured. ]

  • (2) Rate of change in direct indemnity paid = (Cumulative amount of direct indemnity paid in the current period - Cumulative amount of direct indemnity paid in the same period last year) / Cumulative amount of direct indemnity paid in the same period last year

  • [“Direct Indemnity Paid” refers to the indemnity paid by the insurance company that directly issues the insurance policy to the insured person due to insured accidents. ]

  • (3) Rate of change in retained premiums = (Cumulative retained premiums for the current period - Cumulative retained premiums for the same period last year) / Cumulative retained premiums for the same period last year

[Retained premiums = Direct premium revenue + Reinsurance premium revenue - Reinsurance premium expenditures]

  • (4) Net value ratio = Owner’s equity/total assets in separate account excluding investment-linked insurance

2. Profitability index

  • (1) Return on assets = [Net profit after tax + Interest expenses×(1 - Tax rate)]/Average total assets

  • [Average total assets = (Assets at the beginning of the period + Assets at the end of the period)/2]

  • (2) Return on equity = Pre-tax (after) profit and loss/Average equity

  • [Average equity = (current year equity + previous year equity)/2]

  • (3) Net earning rate of fund utilization = Current net investment revenue / (Available funds at the beginning of the period + Available funds at the end - Net investment revenue for the current period)/2

106

[Net investment revenue for the current period = Interest income + Financial asset interest measured at fair value through profit and loss + Realized interest of financial assets available for sale + Conversion interest + Investment real estate gains and losses + Investment impairment losses and reversal benefits]

  • (4) Return on investment = Net investment revenue for the current period/[(Assets at the beginning of the period + Assets at the end of the period - Net investment revenue for the current period)/2]

  • [Net investment revenue for the current period = Interest income + Financial asset interest measured at fair value through profit and loss + Realized interest of financial assets available for sale + Conversion interest + Investment real estate gains and losses + Investment impairment losses and reversal benefits]

  • (5) Retained combined ratio = Retained expense ratio + retained endowment loss rate

  • (6) Retained expense ratio = Retained expense/Retained premium [Retained premiums = Direct premium revenue + Reinsurance premium revenue - Reinsurance premium expenditures]

  • [Retained expenses = Commission and underwriting expenses (including stability fund expenses) + Reinsurance commission expenses - Reinsurance commission income + Business expenses + Management expenses + Self-use real estate depreciation and amortization]

  • (7) Retained endowment loss ratio = Retained insurance claims/retained endowment premiums [Retained insurance claims = Insurance claims and payments - Amortized reinsurance claims + Net change in claim reserve]

[Retained endowment premiums = Direct premium revenue + Reinsurance premium revenue - Reinsurance premium expenditure - Net change in unearned premium reserves]

3. Overall operating indicators

  • (1) Retained premiums to equity ratio = Retained premiums/equity

  • (2) Gross premiums to equity ratio = (Direct premium revenue + Reinsurance premium revenue)/Equity

  • (3) Impact rate of net reinsurance commission on equity = (Unexpired premium reserve / Retained premium)

  • Reinsurance commission income / Equity

  • (4) The ratio of various reserves to equity = Various insurance liabilities/equity

  • [Various insurance liabilities = Special reserve + Indemnity reserve + Unexpired liability reserve + Other various reserves]

  • (5) Rate of change in equity = (Current year’s equity - Last year’s equity)/absolute value of last year’s equity

(6) Expense ratio = Expense/(Direct premium revenue + Reinsurance premium revenue) [Expenses = Commission and underwriting expenses + Operating expenses + Management expenses + Self-use real estate depreciation and amortization + Reinsurance commission expenses]

Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of Union Insurance Co., LTD.:

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Union Insurance Co., LTD. and its subsidiaries (“the Group” ), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

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

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the 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 Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China ("the Code"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

KPMG, a Taiwan partnership and a member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative ("KPMG International"), a Swiss entity.

Assessment of insurance liability

Please refer to Note 4(q) “Insurance liability” for the related accounting policy, Note 5(a) for accounting assumptions and estimation uncertainty of insurance liability, and Note 6(p) for details of the assessment of insurance liability.

Description of key audit matter:

The Group measures insurance liabilities in accordance with “ Regulations Governing the Provision of Various Reserves” and relevant administrative rules, of which the judgment of future uncertainty and related hypothetical parameters include claim development factor and expected claim rate used in estimating the claim reserve, as well as the reserve of unearned premium is based on the calculated factors according to characteristics of each insurance type. Above mentioned assessment is involved the exercise of significant professional judgments. Therefore, the valuation of insurance liabilities has been identified as a key audit matter in our audit.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our principal audit procedures included: engaging our internal actuarial specialists to perform relevant audit procedures over insurance liability, inspecting whether the methods and parameters of insurance liabilities are in accordance with insurance related regulations and administrative rules and relevant practical principles set by the Actuarial Institute of the Republic of China; independently establishing models to recalculate the amount of reserves and further comparing the result of recalculation with the one provided by the management; the appropriateness of actuarial assumptions based on internal data or industry experiences with the characteristics of insurance products, performing the changes of insurance liabilities analysis, including understanding of industry and market, and evaluating the rationality of actuarial assumption adopted by the management.

Other Matter

The Group has prepared its parent-company-only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.

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

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

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’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 Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

111

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

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

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

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

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

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

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’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 consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

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

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

We 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.

112

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

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are LEE, FENG HUI and CHUNG, TAN TAN.

(4) Summary of significant accounting policies:

The significant accounting policies presented in the consolidated financial statements are summarized as follows. Unless otherwise indicated, the significant accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in consolidated financial statements.

  • (a) Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Insurance Companies and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations and SIC Interpretations endorsed by the FSC (hereinafter referred to IFRS endorsed by the FSC).

(b) Basis of preparation

  • (i) Basis of measurement

Except for the following significant accounts, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis:

  • 1) FVTPL are measured at fair value.

  • 2) FVOCI are measured at fair value.

  • 3) Net defined benefit liability is recognized as the fair value of the plan assets less the present value of the defined benefit obligation and the effect of the asset ceiling.

  • 4) Part of investment properties are measured at fair value as their recognized cost.

  • 5) Reinsurance reserve assets and insurance liability are measured in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Provision of Various Reserves”.

  • (ii) Functional currency and Presentation Currency

The functional currency of the Group entities is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entities operate. The consolidated financial statement is presented in New Taiwan Dollar, which is the Group’ s functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan Dollar has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

(c) Basis of consolidation

  • (i) Principle of preparation of the consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements comprise the Group and the subsidiary.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance.

Intragroup balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from Intragroup transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.

When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the assets (including any goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related non-controlling interests and other components of equity. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost, with the resulting gain or loss being recognized in profit or loss. The Group recognizes as gain or loss in profit or loss the difference between (i) the fair value of the consideration received as well as any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date when control is lost ;and (ii) the assets (including any goodwill), liabilities of the subsidiary as well as any related non-controlling interests at their carrying amounts at the date when control is lost, as gain or loss in profit or loss. When the Group loses control of its

subsidiary, it accounts for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary on the same basis as would be required if it had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

(d) Foreign currency

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of the Group at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences are generally recognized in profit or loss, except for the differences relating to an investment in equity securities designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income.

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into the presentation currency at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency at the average exchange rate. Exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence, or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the Group disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

When the settlement of a monetary receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, Exchange differences arising from such a monetary item that are considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation are recognized in other comprehensive income.

(e) Principle of classifying assets and liabilities as current and non-current

Due to the specific business feature of insurance business, the operating cycle is more difficult to establish, and therefore assets and liabilities are not classified as current or non-current. Nonetheless, the items are classified per their properties and are arranged per their liquidity.

(f) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents comprise time deposits due within three months and bonds purchased under resale agreements which are held for the purpose of meeting short term cash commitments, readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Those time deposits exceed three months are recognized - as other financial assets net.

(g) Bills and bonds purchased/sold under agreements to resell

Bills and bonds purchased/sold under agreements to resell, they are accounted at the transaction price and are included in assets on the delivery date if it's compliance with financing conditions. When selling back, they are regarded as the realization of the assets, and the difference between the trading and the selling is classified as interest income.

(h) Financial instruments

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

(i) Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost; Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) – debt investment; FVOCI – equity investment; or FVTPL. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.

1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

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

(Continued)

123

UNION INSURANCE CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

  • its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

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

  • 2) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

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

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

  • its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

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

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

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

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

  • 3) Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

All financial assets not classified as amortized cost or FVOCI described as above are measured at FVTPL, including derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

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

  • 4) Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest

For the purposes of this assessment, ‘ principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial assets on initial recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs, as well as a profit margin.

In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Group considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Group considers:

  • contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows;

  • terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable rate features;

  • prepayment and extension features; and

  • terms that limit the Group's claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. nonrecourse features)

  • 5) Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, amortized costs, receivables, guarantee deposit paid and other financial assets), debt investments measured at FVOCI, accounts receivable and contract assets.

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

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

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

Loss allowance for trade receivables and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.

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

(Continued)

125

UNION INSURANCE CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

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

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

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost and debt securities at FVOCI are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘ creditimpaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:

  • significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;

  • a breach of contract such as a default or being more than 90 days past due;

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. For debt securities at FVOCI, the loss allowance is charged to profit or loss and is recognized in other comprehensive income instead of reducing the carrying amount of the asset.

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For corporate customers, the Group individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Group expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group’ s procedures for recovery of amounts due.

  • 6) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

The Group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized in its statement of balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognized.

(Continued)

126

UNION INSURANCE CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(ii) Financial liabilities

  • 1) Other financial liabilities

Financial liabilities not classified as held for trading or designated as at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value (including payables and other liabilities), plus any directly attributable transaction costs at the time of initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortized cost calculated using the effective interest method.

2) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Group also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.

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

  • 3) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of balance sheet when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(i) Assets classified as held-for-sale

Investments of subsidiary accounted for using equity method that are highly probable to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use, are reclassified as held-for-sale. Immediately before classification as held-for-sale, these investments are remeasured in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. Thereafter, generally, these investments are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

(j) Investment property

Investment property is property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes. Investment property is measured at cost on initial recognition and subsequently at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation expense is calculated based on the depreciation method, useful life, and residual value which are the same as those adopted for property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an investment property (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount) is recognized in profit or loss.

(Continued)

127

UNION INSURANCE CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Rental income from investment property is recognized as other revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognized as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease.

When the use of an investment property changes such that it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment, its book value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting.

(k) Insurance contracts

An insurance contract is a “ contract under which one party (the insurer) accepts significant insurance risk from another party (the policyholder) by agreeing to compensate the policyholder if a specified uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects the policyholder”. The Group defines significant insurance risk as the event which might lead to additional significant payment.

Once a contract has qualified as an insurance contract, it remains an insurance contract until all rights and obligations are extinguished or expired, even if insurance risk becomes insignificant or not existent. However, some contracts do not transfer any insurance risk to the Group at inception, although they do transfer insurance risk at a later time. In those cases, the contract is not considered an insurance contract until the risk transfer happens.

(l) Reinsurance contract assets

The Group’s rights to the reinsurer include ceded unearned premium reserve, ceded claim reserve, ceded premium deficiency reserve, claims recoverable from reinsurers, and net reinsurance receivables. The way to estimate claims and payments recoverable from reinsures is consistent with the way to estimate claims of policies. Receivables and payables of reinsurance are not offset and present by net amounts unless both parties to the contract have statutory offsetting rights and intend to deliver on a net basis or at the same time.

The Group periodically assesses the impairment of the reinsurance assets described above, reinsurance reserve assets, claims recoverable from reinsurers, reinsurance receivables, and reinsurance liabilities reserve deposit. A reinsurance asset is impaired if, and only if (a) there is objective evidence, as a result of an event that occurred after initial recognition of the reinsurance asset, that the Group may not receive all amounts due to it under the terms of the contract; and (b) that event has a reliably measurable impact on the amounts that the Group will receive from the reinsurer. If the Group’s reinsurance reserve assets are impaired, the Group shall reduce its carrying amount accordingly and recognize that impairment loss in profit or loss, and recognize proper allowance for claims recoverable from reinsurers, reinsurance receivables, and reinsurance liabilities reserve deposit.

The Group assesses whether significant insurance risks have been transferred to the reinsurer. If significant insurance risks of the insurance contract have not been transferred, the contract is recognized via deposit accounting. The premium minus the Group retained reinsurance premium (or fee) is recognized as deposit asset or liability, not profit or loss.

Compliance with the “Regulations Governing the Provision of Unauthorized Reinsurance Reserves for Insurance Company” , the Group deposits reserve for those unauthorized reinsurance ceded businesses according to “ Regulations Governing Insurance Enterprises Engaging in Operating Reinsurance and Other Risk Spreading Mechanisms” on ceded date or balance sheet date and discloses in notes of Consolidated Financial Statements.

UNION INSURANCE CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

  • (m) Property, plant and equipment

  • (i) Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.

  • (ii) Reclassifies the property to investment property

When the use of a property changes to investment property, the Group reclassifies the property to investment property based on the carrying amount when the use is changed.

  • (iii) Subsequent cost

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group.

  • (iv) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on the cost of an asset less its residual value and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment.

Land is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

  • 1) Buildings 21-60 years

  • 2) Office and other equipment 3-8 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

UNION INSURANCE CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(n) Leases

  • (i) Identifying a lease

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

  • 1) the contract involves the use of an identified asset – this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified; and

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

  • 3) the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where the decision about how and for what purpose the asset is used is predetermined, the Group has the right to direct the use of an asset if either:

  • the Group has the right to operate the asset; or

  • the Group designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and nonlease components as a single lease component.

(ii) As a leasee

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

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

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

(Continued)

130

UNION INSURANCE CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

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

  • fixed payments;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  • there is any lease modifications.

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

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

The Group presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment and lease liabilities as a separate line item respectively in the statement of financial position.

The Group has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short term leases of machinery and leases of low-value assets, including IT equipment. The Group recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(iii) As a leasor

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

(Continued)

131

UNION INSURANCE CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Group recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straightline basis over the lease term as part of lease income.

  • (o) Intangible assets

  • (i) Recognition and measurement

Intangible assets, including computer software and golf membership, that are acquired by the Group are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

(ii) Subsequent Expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

  • (iii) Amortization

The amortizable amount is the cost of an asset less its residual value. Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use.

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

  • 1) Computer software 3-10 years

  • 2) Golf membership 10-20 years

Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

(p) Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

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

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

(q) Insurance liability

The Group determines reserves for insurance contracts in accordance with the “ Regulations Governing the Provision of Various Reserves” , “ Regulations for Management of the Various Reserve of Compulsory Automobile Liability Insurance” , “ Enforcement Rules for the Risk Spreading Mechanism of Residential Earthquake Insurance”, and “Regulations for the Reserve of Nuclear Insurance” , methodologies used to determine the reserve are certified by the appointed actuary who is authorized by the Financial Supervisory Commission, Executive Yuan.

The methodologies used to determine the reserves are described as follows:

  • (i) Unearned premiums reserve:

Unearned premium reserve is determined based on the exposure of the unexpired period for the unexpired policies and the policies that have been not terminated.

(ii) Claim reserve:

The Group shall determine claim reserve, including case reserve and IBNR, using actuarial approaches, based on the historical experiences for each line of business. The case reserve shall be estimated case by case, based on actual relevant information.

  • (iii) Special reserve:

Special reserve comprises two parts, catastrophe reserve and risk volatility reserve.

  • 1) Special reserve - catastrophe special reserve

Catastrophe special reserve for each line of business shall be determined based on ratios regulated by the Authority. The portion of the losses over NT$ 30 million shall be recovered from catastrophe special reserve. Catastrophe special reserve can be released after 15 years based on the mechanism decided by the appointed actuary and filed to the Authority.

From July 1, 2011, reserve of Commercial Earthquake Insurance and Typhoon and Flood Insurance can be released after 30 years and recognized in accordance with the “ Regulations for Insurance Companies Determining Various Reserves of Commercial Earthquake Insurance and Typhoon and Flood Insurance”

  • 2) Special reserve - risk volatility special reserve

If the actual loss, after deducting catastrophe special reserve, is less than the expected loss, an equalization special reserve shall be recognized at 15% of that difference. From July 1, 2011, according to “Regulations for Insurance Companies Determining Various Reserves of Commercial Earthquake Insurance and Typhoon and Flood Insurance”, for commercial earthquake insurance and typhoon and flood insurance, if the actual claim of the retention, deducted by the balance of the insurance written off by catastrophe special reserve, is lower than the expected claim, then a equalization special reserve shall be provided based on 75% of the difference. The expected claim shall not be less than 60% of the expected rate of loss.

(Continued)

133

UNION INSURANCE CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

If the actual loss, after deducting the catastrophe special reserve recovered for the line of business, exceeds the expected loss, the amount of that difference shall be recovered from the equalization special reserve. If the equalization special reserve is insufficient to deduct for a specific line of business, it can be released from other line of business. The amount released and the line of business from which shall follow the related regulations. If the cumulative equalization special reserve exceeds 60% of the net earned premium, the equalization special reserve shall be released by that difference. Although accident insurance and health insurance shall be released in accordance with the “ Regulations Governing the Provision of Various Reserves” Art. 20.1.(3).

From July 1, 2011, according to “ Regulations for Insurance Companies Determining Various Reserves of Commercial Earthquake Insurance and Typhoon and Flood Insurance” , if the equalization special reserve of commercial earthquake insurance exceeds 18 times of the net earned premium, or the equalization special reserve of typhoon and flood insurance exceeds 8 times of the net earned premium, the equalization special reserve shall be released by that difference.

In addition, according to “Directions Concerning Enhanced Natural Disaster Reserve of Property Insurance (Commercial Earthquake Insurance, Typhoon Insurance, and Flood Insurance)” under Jin Guan Bao Tsai No. 10102515061, from January 1, 2013, “ Enforcement Rules for the Risk Spreading Mechanism of Residential Earthquake Insurance” under Jin Guan Bao Chan No. 10102531691, and “Regulations for Insurance Companies Determining Various Reserves of Nuclear Insurance” under Jin Guan Bao Tsai No. 10102517091, the Group should first fill the special catastrophe reserve and risk volatility reserve for commercial earthquake insurance and typhoon and flood insurance to maximum amount with the special catastrophe reserve and risk volatility reserve, which was in liability account and was provided before December 31, 2012, in the equity account.

The calculation of the maximum amount of the special catastrophe reserve and risk volatility reserve for Commercial Earthquake Insurance, Typhoon Insurance, and Flood Insurance is to take the net earned premium of 2012 and the average amount of net earned premium from 2008 to 2012, which is higher, as the base. The catastrophe special reserve is calculated by the base amount described above multiply the catastrophe special reserve rate (7%) and cumulative age (30 years), and the maximum amount of risk volatility reserve is calculated by the base amount described above multiply the cumulative multiples (Commercial Earthquake Insurance multiply 18; Typhoon Insurance and Flood Insurance multiply 8).

The deficiency between the amount which was in liability and equity accounts on December 31, 2012 and the maximum amount of the special catastrophe reserve shall be first filled by special reserves of other insurances and then scaled to the risk volatility special reserve of Commercial Earthquake Insurance, Typhoon Insurance, and Flood Insurance. If there is any reserve left, the amount deducted by income tax calculated based on IAS 12 shall be reclassified to special reserve in equity account.

(Continued)

134

UNION INSURANCE CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The amount that is transferred from special reserves of other insurances to catastrophe special reserve under liability accounts shall be released by one thirtieth of the ending balance of liability on January 1, 2013. The recoverable amount described above shall first deduct the amount of losses caused by the event exceed over NT$ 30 million dollars for the individual company. If the cumulative amount of catastrophe special reserve is lower than the recoverable amount described above before deduction, the excess amount can only be released after the deficiency being filled. In addition, the recoverable amount described above shall be reviewed annually before 2025. If the recoverable amount described above is greater than the released amount of other types of accidents before the implementation of the precautions, the after tax difference shall be transferred to equity account. The difference described above shall be allocated in proportion to the retained premiums of other insurances of current period.

The “ Regulations for Insurance Companies Determining Various Reserves of Commercial Earthquake Insurance and Typhoon and Flood Insurance” shall be followed when determining risk volatility special reserve of Commercial Earthquake Insurance and Typhoon and Flood Insurance.

If the former amount is less than the latter amount, the deficiency shall be recovered by the special reserve cumulated in previous periods. If the deficiency still exists, it shall be recorded by memo entries and recovered by the special reserve cumulated in future periods.

Except for the special reserve of compulsory automobile liability insurance, the provision each year is recognized in special reserve under equity account with the amount deducted by income tax. The amount is calculated based on IAS 12. For the amount which should be written off or reclaimed, the Group writes off and reclaims it via special reserve under equity account with the amount deducted by income tax.

(iv) Premium deficiency reserve

The Group shall evaluate the future losses and expenses for the unexpired policies and the policies that have been not terminated. If the expected future losses and expenses exceed the sum of the recognized unearned premium reserve and the expected future premium income, a premium deficiency reserve shall be recognized at the amount of that difference.

(v) Liability adequacy reserve

In accordance with IFRS 4, the Group should assess whether its recognized insurance liabilities are adequate, using current estimates of future cash flows at the end of each reporting period. If that assessment shows that the carrying amount of its insurance liabilities (less related intangible assets) is inadequate, the entire deficiency shall be recognized as a liability adequacy reserve.

  • (iii) The pension costs of the overseas subsidiary were $0 and $217 which are following to local regulation for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

(o) Employee compensation and directors' remuneration

In accordance with the Articles of Incorporation the Company should contribute 1% ~ 5% of the profit as employee compensation, and no more than 5% directors' and supervisors' remuneration when there is profit for the year. However, if the Company has accumulated deficits, the profit should be reserved to offset the deficit.

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company estimated its employee remuneration amounting to $28,500 and $28,000, respectively, and directors' remuneration amounting to $6,500 and $6,000, respectively. The estimated amounts mentioned above are calculated based on the net profit before tax, excluding the remuneration to employees and directors of each period, multiplied by the percentage of remuneration to employees and directors as specified in the Company's articles. These remunerations were expensed under operating costs or operating expenses during 2020 and 2019. If the actual amounts were subsequently decided after the approval and the issuance date of the Consolidated Financial Statements in the following year differ from the estimated amounts, the differences are accounted for as changes in accounting estimates and recognized in profit or loss in the following year. If the Board of Directors resolved to distribute the employees' remuneration in the form of shares, the number of shares of the distribution is based on the closing price of the day before the Board of Directors' meeting date.

The amounts of compensation for employees and directors of the Company in 2019 and 2018 were $28,000 and $6,000, $9,000 and $6,000, respectively. There is no difference in the actual distribution situation. Relevant information can be obtained from the Market Observation Post System.

  • 1) Fair value information

    • a) General description

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

  • b) Definition of fair value hierarchy

i) Level 1

The input of Level 1 is the public quote of the same financial instrument in an active market. An active market is a market that meets all the conditions listed below: Products traded in the market is of homogeneity; it is able to reach buyer and seller anytime in the market and the price information can be accessed by the public. Listed stock, OTC stock, beneficiary certificates, as well as equity and derivative instruments with public quote in an active market possessed by the Group belong to Level 1.

ii) Level 2

The input of Level 2 refers to observable price except public quote in an active market, including direct observable input parameters (such as price) or indirect observable input parameters (derivation from price).

iii) Level 3

The input of level 3 is the parameters of measuring fair value, which is from neither on direct market data nor from the counter party.

  • b) Valuation techniques of fair value measurement

The valuation of non-derivative financial instruments are based on transparent offer price as fair value if there is existence of active market. The basic of fair value is the market price announced by stock exchange, OTC, etc., the listed stocks and OTC stocks as equity instruments, and debt instruments in active market.

If obtaining frequently and timely transparent offers from stock exchange, brokers, securities underwriter, industrial union and set price service organization or supervisor organization that means the price is actual and frequent fair market deal that is the transparent offer price as fair value in the active market. If the conditions above mentioned are fail, the market is considered as non active market. Generally, the difference between bid ask is big and significant or with the volume of deal is few would be indicated that non active market. The equity of non transparent offer price shall be evaluated by valuation techniques by using the Market approach public company comparable with the discount of lack equity liquidity.

  • e) Quantified information of fair value measurement for significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)

The Group’ s Level 3 fair value measurements are financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income – equity instruments investment.

The Group's equity instruments investment without active market include multiple significant unobservable inputs. Those unobservable inputs of equity instrument without active market are independent from each other, thus, they are not correlative. Since the correlation between significant unobservable inputs and fair value cannot be fully measured in practical, the quantified information is not disclosed.

  • f) Fair value measurement to Level 3, and the sensitivity analysis of the substitutable appropriate assumption made on fair value

The fair value measurement that the Group made for the financial instruments is deemed reasonable; however, different valuation models or inputs could result in different valuation results. Specifically, if the valuation input of financial instruments classified in the Level 3 changes by 1%, the effects on other comprehensive income are as follows:

  • 3) Valuation techniques

The valuation assumption and methods of financial instruments not measured at fair value is used by the Group were as follows:

  • a) The fair value of short-term financial commodity is estimated by the carrying amount of balance sheet. The carrying amount is the reasonable basis to estimate the fair value, because the maturity date of the commodity is near. The method applied on cash and equivalent cash, accounts receivables and accounts payables.

  • b) Financial assets at amortized cost (bond investments without active market)

If investments assets measured at amortized cost have transaction price or quotes of the market makers, use the recent transaction price and quotes as the basis of estimating fair value. If without market value, discounted cash flow method or the quotes of the counterparties are used to calculate fair value or the quoted prices of the counter party.

  • c) The refundable deposits and guarantee deposits have no specific maturity date, as a result, using the carrying amount on the balance sheet as the fair value.

  • d) The fair value of investment property is assessed by the market practices.

  • 4) Transfer between Level 1 and Level 2

There was no transfer in 2020 and 2019.

2) Liquidity risk

The liquidity risk indicates that the deficiency of trading volume or lack of trading counterparties results in the risk of finished trade out of expecting timing.

3) Market risk

Market risk includes foreign exchange rates and interest rates. The risk of foreign exchange rates comes from the change of price of foreign currency, includes the change of value, and the change of relationship between currencies, and currency depreciation. The risk of interest rates comes from the change of bond's price, i.e. yield curve risk, when the shape of yield curve risk changes, the risk will occur.

  • (ii) The framework of risk management

Please refer to Note(6)(v)(i)1).

  • (iii) Credit risk

The company only deals with counterparties whose credit rating is above a certain level. The company evaluates the credit ratings and estimates the recovery situation of payments regularly during the trading period to set different investment limits. So far, there is no loan business. Policyholders and reinsurers and ceding companies are scattered. Therefore, there is no concentration of credit risk.

  • 1) The financial assets are classification of credit risk quantity as an assessment of loss. The Group' internal credit risk is classified as low risk, moderate risk and high risk as definition as follows:

  • a) Low risk: The issuers or the counterparties are rated as robust or above to fulfill their obligation of the contracts. Even under various negative news or disadvantageous economic conditions, the companies are capable of dealing with the situations.

  • b) Medium risk: The issuers or the counterparties have lower capability of fulfilling their obligation, disadvantage operation, financial and economic conditions, resulting in weaken capability of dealing with the situations.

  • c) High risk: The possibility that the issuers or counterparties fulfill their obligation is remote and mainly relies on the business environment. Negative news or disadvantageous economic conditions will lower their ability and willingness to fulfill their obligation.

  • d) The impaired items represent the amount of loss allowance provided for financial assets based on the regulations of accounting standards. Under the principle of prudence, the impaired amount is able to reflect the current value of the impaired assets.

  • 2) Determining the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition

  • a) At each reporting date, the Group assessed all the financial instruments applicable for IFRS 9 to determine whether the credit risk has increased significantly since the initial recognition. In order to make this assessment, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information (including forward looking information) that is indicative of significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition. The criteria include external credit rating, overdue status, credit spreads, and other market information related to the issuers or debtors.

  • b) Low credit risk: If it is determined that the credit risk of a financial instrument at the reporting date is low, it can be assumed that the credit risk of the financial instrument has not increased significantly since the date of initial recognition. Judgment criteria: external credit rating above investment grade (Baa3).

  • 3) Measuring the expected credit losses

  • a) The methods and assumptions

    • If the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group shall measure the allowance for impairment of the financial instrument using the 12 month expected credit losses; if the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group shall measure the allowance for impairment using the lifetime expected credit losses.

    • In order to measure expected credit losses, the Group considers the default probability (Probability of default, "PD") of financial assets or issuers or debtors, and loss given default rate ("LGD") multiplying the exposure at default (“ EAD” ), taking into account the time value of money as well evaluate 12 month and lifetime loss.

    • Default probability is the probability that the issuers or the debtors defaults, and the loss given default rate is the rate of loss caused by default by the issuers or debtors. The relevant indicators used by the Group are based on the default rate and loss given default rate published by Moody's.

    • The Group measures the Exposure at default based on the amortized cost of financial instruments plus accrued interest.

  • 4) Consideration of forward-looking information

The Group obtains forward-looking information which it takes into consideration when determining whether the credit risk of financial instruments has increased significantly since initial recognition and assessing the expected credit losses. The default probability used for impairment assessment of the Group is based on the information which already includes forward-looking general economic information published by Moody's.

(iv) Liquidity risk

The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that there is sufficient liquidity to support the liabilities which is going to expire. The investment targets all have an active market. Financial assets are expected to be sold at a price close to fair value and the own operating capital are sufficient to support the demand for funds needed.so there is no liquidity risk due to the inability to make funds.

(v) Market risk

The goal of market risk management is to control the market risk exposure to an acceptable level and optimize investment returns. The Group uses VAR values to measure price risk. Regularly compare the holding of investment targets with market prices and strictly observe the restrictions on stop-loss. The investment targets do not involve emerging market and commodity risks. It's only foreign currency financial assets and liabilities expose to foreign currency risk and Interest rate risk. The Group conducts stress tests and sensitivity analysis for exchange rate and interest rate risk to ensure that the maximum loss does not endanger the Group's operations.

(y) Capital Management

The policy of the Board of Directors is to maintain robust capital base, and to uphold the confidence of investors, creditors and the market, as well as to support the development of future operations. The capital includes the Company's share capital, capital reserve and undistributed surplus. The Board of Directors controls the rate of return on capital and controls the level of common stock dividends.

As of December 31, 2020, the method of capital management of the Company remains the same.

Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of Union Insurance Co., LTD.:

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Union Insurance Co., LTD.(“the Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Insurance Enterprises.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the 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 Company in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China ("the Code"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Assessment of insurance liability

Please refer to Note 4(p) “ Insurance liabilities” for the related accounting policy, Note 5(a) for accounting assumptions and estimation uncertainty of insurance liability, and Note 6(q) for details of the assessment of insurance liability.

Description of key audit matter:

The Company measures insurance liabilities in accordance with “ Regulations Governing the Provision of Various Reserves” and relevant administrative rules, of which the judgment of future uncertainty and related hypothetical parameters include claim development factor and expected claim rate used in estimating the claim reserve, as well as the reserve of unearned premium is based on the calculated factors according to characteristics of each insurance type. Above mentioned assessment is involved the exercise of significant professional judgments. Therefore, the valuation of insurance liabilities has been identified as a key audit matter in our audit.

216

KPMG, a Taiwan partnership and a member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative ("KPMG International"), a Swiss entity.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our principal audit procedures included: engaging our internal actuarial specialists to perform relevant audit procedures over insurance liability, inspecting whether the methods and parameters of insurance liabilities are in accordance with insurance related regulations and administrative rules and relevant practical principles set by the Actuarial Institute of the Republic of China; independently establishing models to recalculate the amount of reserves and further comparing the result of recalculation with the one provided by the management; the appropriateness of actuarial assumptions based on internal data or industry experiences with the characteristics of insurance products, performing the changes of insurance liabilities analysis, including understanding of industry and market, and evaluating the rationality of actuarial assumption adopted by the management.

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

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Insurance Enterprises, 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 Company’ 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 Company 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 Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

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

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

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

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

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

217

  1. 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  2. 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.

  3. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit.

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

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

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

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are LEE, FENG HUI and CHUNG, TAN TAN.

(4) Summary of significant accounting policies:

The significant accounting policies presented in the financial statements are summarized as follows. Unless otherwise indicated, the significant accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements.

  • (a) Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Insurance Companies.

(Continued)

225

UNION INSURANCE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

(b) Basis of preparation

  • (i) Basis of measure

Except for the following significant accounts, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis:

  • 1) FVTPL are measured at fair value.

  • 2) FVOCI are measured at fair value.

  • 3) Net defined benefit liability is recognized as the fair value of the plan assets less the present value of the defined benefit obligation and the effect of the asset ceiling.

  • 4) Part of investment properties are measured at fair value as their recognized cost.

  • 5) Reinsurance reserve assets and insurance liability are measured in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Provision of Various Reserves”.

  • (ii) Functional currency and Presentation Currency

The functional currency of the Group entities is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entities operate. The consolidated financial statement is presented in New Taiwan Dollar, which is the Group’ s functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan Dollar has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

(c) Foreign currency

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of the Company at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences are generally recognized in profit or loss, except for the differences relating to an investment in equity securities designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income.

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into the presentation currency at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency at the average exchange rate. Exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence, or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Company disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non controlling interests. When the Company disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

(Continued)

226

UNION INSURANCE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

When the settlement of a monetary receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, Exchange differences arising from such a monetary item that are considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation are recognized in other comprehensive income.

(d) Principle of classifying assets and liabilities as current and non-current

Due to the specific business feature of insurance business, the operating cycle is more difficult to establish, and therefore assets and liabilities are not classified as current or non-current. Nonetheless, the items are classified per their properties and are arranged per their liquidity.

(e) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents comprise time deposits due within three months and bonds purchased under resale agreements which are held for the purpose of meeting short term cash commitments, readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Those time deposits exceed three months are recognized - as other financial assets net.

(f) Bills and bonds purchased/sold under agreements to resell

Bills and bonds purchased/sold under agreements to resell, they are accounted at the transaction price and are included in assets on the delivery date if it's compliance with financing conditions. When selling back, they are regarded as the realization of the assets, and the difference between the trading and the selling is classified as interest income.

(g) Financial instruments

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

(i) Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost; Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) – debt investment; FVOCI – equity investment; or FVTPL. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.

(Continued)

227

UNION INSURANCE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

  • 1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

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

  • its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

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

  • 2) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

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

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

  • its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

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

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

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

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

(Continued)

228

UNION INSURANCE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

  • 3) Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

All financial assets not classified as amortized cost or FVOCI described as above are measured at FVTPL, including derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

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

  • 4) Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest

For the purposes of this assessment, ‘ principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial assets on initial recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs, as well as a profit margin.

In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Company considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Company considers:

  • contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows;

  • terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable rate features;

  • prepayment and extension features; and

  • terms that limit the Company’s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. nonrecourse features)

  • 5) Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, amortized costs, receivables, guarantee deposit paid and other financial assets), debt investments measured at FVOCI, accounts receivable and contract assets.

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

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

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

(Continued)

229

UNION INSURANCE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

Loss allowance for trade receivables and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Company’ s historical experience and informed credit assessment as well as forwardlooking information.

Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

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

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

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

  • significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;

  • a breach of contract such as a default or being more than 90 days past due;

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. For debt securities at FVOCI, the loss allowance is charge to profit or loss and is recognized in other comprehensive income instead of reducing the carrying amount of the asset.

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For corporate customers, the Company individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Company expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Company’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.

(Continued)

230

UNION INSURANCE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

6) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

The Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized in its statement of balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognized.

(ii) Financial liabilities

1) Other financial liabilities

Financial liabilities not classified as held for trading or designated as at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value (including payables and other liabilities), plus any directly attributable transaction costs at the time of initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortized cost calculated using the effective interest method.

2) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.

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

3) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(h) Assets classified as held-for-sale

Investments of subsidiary accounted for using equity method that are highly probable to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use, are reclassified as held-for-sale. Immediately before classification as held-for-sale, these investments are remeasured in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies. Thereafter, generally, these investments are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

(Continued)

231

UNION INSURANCE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

(i) Investment property

Investment property is property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes. Investment property is measured at cost on initial recognition and subsequently at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation expense is calculated based on the depreciation method, useful life, and residual value which are the same as those adopted for property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an investment property (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount) is recognized in profit or loss.

Rental income from investment property is recognized as other revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognized as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease.

When the use of an investment property changes such that it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment, its book value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting.

(j) Insurance contracts

An insurance contract is a “ contract under which one party (the insurer) accepts significant insurance risk from another party (the policyholder) by agreeing to compensate the policyholder if a specified uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects the policyholder” . The Company defines significant insurance risk as the event which might lead to additional significant payment.

Once a contract has qualified as an insurance contract, it remains an insurance contract until all rights and obligations are extinguished or expired, even if insurance risk becomes insignificant or not existent. However, some contracts do not transfer any insurance risk to the Company at inception, although they do transfer insurance risk at a later time. In those cases, the contract is not considered an insurance contract until the risk transfer happens.

(k) Reinsurance contract assets

The Company’ s rights to the reinsurer include ceded unearned premium reserve, ceded claim reserve, ceded premium deficiency reserve, claims recoverable from reinsurers, and net reinsurance receivables. The way to estimate claims and payments recoverable from reinsures is consistent with the way to estimate claims of policies. Receivables and payables of reinsurance are not offset and present by net amounts unless both parties to the contract have statutory offsetting rights and intend to deliver on a net basis or at the same time.

The Company periodically assesses the impairment of the reinsurance assets described above, reinsurance reserve assets, claims recoverable from reinsurers, reinsurance receivables, and reinsurance liabilities reserve deposit. A reinsurance asset is impaired if, and only if (a) there is objective evidence, as a result of an event that occurred after initial recognition of the reinsurance asset, that the Company may not receive all amounts due to it under the terms of the contract; and (b) that event has a reliably measurable impact on the amounts that the Company will receive from the reinsurer. If the Company’s reinsurance reserve assets are impaired, the Company shall reduce its carrying amount accordingly and recognize that impairment loss in profit or loss, and recognize proper allowance for claims recoverable from reinsurers, reinsurance receivables, and reinsurance liabilities reserve deposit.

(Continued)

232

UNION INSURANCE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

The Company assesses whether significant insurance risks have been transferred to the reinsurer. If significant insurance risks of the insurance contract have not been transferred, the contract is recognized via deposit accounting. The premium minus the company retained reinsurance premium (or fee) is recognized as deposit asset or liability, not profit or loss.

Compliance with the “Regulations Governing the Provision of Unauthorized Reinsurance Reserves for Insurance Company”, the Company deposits reserve for those unauthorized reinsurance ceded businesses according to “ Regulations Governing Insurance Enterprises Engaging in Operating Reinsurance and Other Risk Spreading Mechanisms” on ceded date or balance sheet date and discloses in notes of financial statements.

  • (l) Property, plant and equipment

  • (i) Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.

  • (ii) Reclassifies the property to investment property

When the use of a property changes to investment property, the Company reclassifies the property to investment property based on the carrying amount when the use is changed.

  • (iii) Subsequent cost

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.

  • (iv) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on the cost of an asset less its residual value and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment.

Land is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

1) Buildings 21-60 years

  • 2) Office and other equipment 3-8 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

UNION INSURANCE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

(m) Leases

  • (i) Identifying a lease

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

  • 1) the contract involves the use of an identified asset – this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified; and

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

  • 3) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where the decision about how and for what purpose the asset is used is predetermined, the Company has the right to direct the use of an asset if either:

  • the Company has the right to operate the asset; or

  • - the Company designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the Company has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and nonlease components as a single lease component.

  • (ii) As a leasee

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

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

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

(Continued)

234

UNION INSURANCE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

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

  • fixed payments;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  • there is any lease modifications

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

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

The Company presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment and lease liabilities as a separate line item respectively in the statement of financial position.

The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for shortterm leases of machinery and leases of low-value assets, including IT equipment.The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

  • (iii) As a leasor

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

(Continued)

235

UNION INSURANCE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

The Company recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term as part of lease income.

  • (n) Intangible assets

  • (i) Recognition and measurement

Intangible assets, including computer software and golf membership, that are acquired by the Company are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

  • (ii) Subsequent Expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

  • (iii) Amortization

The amortizable amount is the cost of an asset less its residual value. Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use.

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

(1) Computer software 3-10 years (2) Golf membership 10-20 years

Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

  • (o) Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

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

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

(p) Insurance liability

The Company determines reserves for insurance contracts in accordance with the “ Regulations Governing the Provision of Various Reserves” , “ Regulations for Management of the Various Reserve of Compulsory Automobile Liability Insurance” , “ Enforcement Rules for the Risk Spreading Mechanism of Residential Earthquake Insurance”, and “Regulations for the Reserve of Nuclear Insurance” , methodologies used to determine the reserve are certified by the appointed actuary who is authorized by the Financial Supervisory Commission, Executive Yuan.

The methodologies used to determine the reserves are described as follows:

  • (i) Unearned premiums reserve:

Unearned premium reserve is determined based on the exposure of the unexpired period for the unexpired policies and the policies that have been not terminated.

(ii) Claim reserve:

The Company shall determine claim reserve, including case reserve and IBNR, using actuarial approaches, based on the historical experiences for each line of business. The case reserve shall be estimated case by case, based on actual relevant information.

  • (iii) Special reserve:

Special reserve comprises two parts, catastrophe reserve and risk volatility reserve.

  • 1) Special reserve - catastrophe special reserve

Catastrophe special reserve for each line of business shall be determined based on ratios regulated by the Authority. The portion of the losses over NT$ 30 million shall be recovered from catastrophe special reserve. Catastrophe special reserve can be released after 15 years based on the mechanism decided by the appointed actuary and filed to the Authority.

From July 1, 2011, reserve of Commercial Earthquake Insurance and Typhoon and Flood Insurance can be released after 30 years and recognized in accordance with the “ Regulations for Insurance Companies Determining Various Reserves of Commercial Earthquake Insurance and Typhoon and Flood Insurance”

  • 2) Special reserve - risk volatility special reserve

If the actual loss, after deducting catastrophe special reserve, is less than the expected loss, an equalization special reserve shall be recognized at 15% of that difference. From July 1, 2011, according to “Regulations for Insurance Companies Determining Various Reserves of Commercial Earthquake Insurance and Typhoon and Flood Insurance”, for commercial earthquake insurance and typhoon and flood insurance, if the actual claim of the retention, deducted by the balance of the insurance written off by catastrophe special reserve, is lower than the expected claim, then a equalization special reserve shall be provided based on 75% of the difference. The expected claim shall not be less than 60% of the expected rate of loss.

(Continued)

237

UNION INSURANCE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

If the actual loss, after deducting the catastrophe special reserve recovered for the line of business, exceeds the expected loss, the amount of that difference shall be recovered from the equalization special reserve. If the equalization special reserve is insufficient to deduct for a specific line of business, it can be released from other line of business. The amount released and the line of business from which shall follow the related regulations. If the cumulative equalization special reserve exceeds 60% of the net earned premium, the equalization special reserve shall be released by that difference. Although accident insurance and health insurance shall be released in accordance with the “ Regulations Governing the Provision of Various Reserves” Art. 20.1.(3).

From July 1, 2011, according to “ Regulations for Insurance Companies Determining Various Reserves of Commercial Earthquake Insurance and Typhoon and Flood Insurance” , if the equalization special reserve of commercial earthquake insurance exceeds 18 times of the net earned premium, or the equalization special reserve of typhoon and flood insurance exceeds 8 times of the net earned premium, the equalization special reserve shall be released by that difference.

In addition, according to “Directions Concerning Enhanced Natural Disaster Reserve of Property Insurance (Commercial Earthquake Insurance, Typhoon Insurance, and Flood Insurance)” under Jin Guan Bao Tsai No. 10102515061, from January 1, 2013, “ Enforcement Rules for the Risk Spreading Mechanism of Residential Earthquake Insurance” under Jin Guan Bao Chan No. 10102531691, and “Regulations for Insurance Companies Determining Various Reserves of Nuclear Insurance” under Jin Guan Bao Tsai No. 10102517091, the Company should first fill the special catastrophe reserve and risk volatility reserve for commercial earthquake insurance and typhoon and flood insurance to maximum amount with the special catastrophe reserve and risk volatility reserve, which was in liability account and was provided before December 31, 2012, in the equity account. The calculation of the maximum amount of the special catastrophe reserve and risk volatility reserve for Commercial Earthquake Insurance, Typhoon Insurance, and Flood Insurance is to take the net earned premium of 2012 and the average amount of net earned premium from 2008 to 2012, which is higher, as the base. The catastrophe special reserve is calculated by the base amount described above multiply the catastrophe special reserve rate (7%) and cumulative age (30 years), and the maximum amount of risk volatility reserve is calculated by the base amount described above multiply the cumulative multiples (Commercial Earthquake Insurance multiply 18; Typhoon Insurance and Flood Insurance multiply 8).

The deficiency between the amount which was in liability and equity accounts on December 31, 2012 and the maximum amount of the special catastrophe reserve shall be first filled by special reserves of other insurances and then scaled to the risk volatility special reserve of Commercial Earthquake Insurance, Typhoon Insurance, and Flood Insurance. If there is any reserve left, the amount deducted by income tax calculated based on IAS 12 shall be reclassified to special reserve in equity account.

(Continued)

238

UNION INSURANCE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

The amount that is transferred from special reserves of other insurances to catastrophe special reserve under liability accounts shall be released by one thirtieth of the ending balance of liability on January 1, 2013. The recoverable amount described above shall first deduct the amount of losses caused by the event exceed over NT$ 30 million dollars for the individual company. If the cumulative amount of catastrophe special reserve is lower than the recoverable amount described above before deduction, the excess amount can only be released after the deficiency being filled. In addition, the recoverable amount described above shall be reviewed annually before 2025. If the recoverable amount described above is greater than the released amount of other types of accidents before the implementation of the precautions, the after tax difference shall be transferred to equity account. The difference described above shall be allocated in proportion to the retained premiums of other insurances of current period.

The “ Regulations for Insurance Companies Determining Various Reserves of Commercial Earthquake Insurance and Typhoon and Flood Insurance” shall be followed when determining risk volatility special reserve of Commercial Earthquake Insurance and Typhoon and Flood Insurance.

3) Compulsory automobile liability insurance

The special reserve of compulsory automobile liability insurance is determined in accordance with the Regulations for Management of the Various Reserve of Compulsory Automobile Liability Insurance. The amount calculated by sum of retention of earned premium, withdrawal of claims reserve and special reserve of prior period plus interests deducts retained claim payment and deposit claim reserve, shall be deposited as special reserve. If the former amount is less than the latter amount, the deficiency shall be recovered by the special reserve cumulated in previous periods. If the deficiency still exists, it shall be recorded by memo entries and recovered by the special reserve cumulated in future periods.

Except for the special reserve of compulsory automobile liability insurance, the provision each year is recognized in special reserve under equity account with the amount deducted by income tax. The amount is calculated based on IAS 12. For the amount which should be written off or reclaimed, the Company writes off and reclaims it via special reserve under equity account with the amount deducted by income tax.

(iv) Premium deficiency reserve

The company shall evaluate the future losses and expenses for the unexpired policies and the policies that have been not terminated. If the expected future losses and expenses exceed the sum of the recognized unearned premium reserve and the expected future premium income, a premium deficiency reserve shall be recognized at the amount of that difference.

(v) Liability adequacy reserve

In accordance with IFRS 4, the Company should assess whether its recognized insurance liabilities are adequate, using current estimates of future cash flows at the end of each reporting period. If that assessment shows that the carrying amount of its insurance liabilities (less related intangible assets) is inadequate, the entire deficiency shall be recognized as a liability adequacy reserve.

(Continued)

241

UNION INSURANCE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in retained earnings within equity. The Company determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset). Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss.

  • (iv) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

(v) Income taxes

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

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

Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes are recognized except for the following:

  • (i) Assets and liabilities that are initially recognized but are not related to the business combination and have no effect on net income or taxable gains (losses) arising from the transaction.

  • 1) the same taxable entity; or

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

Deferred tax assets are recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.

(w) Earnings per share

The Company discloses the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company. Basic earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding.

(5) Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty:

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Insurance Enterprises. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

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

The carrying amount of the assets and liabilities as mentioned below may be affected by accounting estimates and judgment that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The actual results may be influenced by the change of taken accounting estimates and professional judgments with the content has an existing significant difference as follows:

(a) Insurance liability

The Company measures insurance liabilities in accordance with “ Regulations Governing the Provision of Various Reserves”.

  • (i) Unearned premium reserve is estimated based on the exposure of the unexpired period of each business line. The provision of reserves is determined by actuarial specialists in accordance with of characteristics each business line.

  • (ii) Claim reserve is estimated in accordance with the method of a loss triangle. The final claim cost is calculated based on the primary assumptions that are loss development factors and expected claim ratio. The loss development factors and expected claim ratio of each business line are calculated based on historical claim experience and adjusted by Company's policies such as insurance rate and claim management.

The professional judgment used in the above process will affect the amount recognized, including net change in insurance liability, the provision of insurance liability and reserve for the insurance contract with the nature of financial products.

(ii) Defined contribution plan

The Company allocates 6% of each employee’s monthly wages to the labor pension personal account at the Bureau of Labor Insurance in accordance with the provisions of the Labor Pension Act. Under these defined contribution plans, the Company allocates a fixed amount to the Bureau of Labor Insurance without additional legal or constructive obligation.

The pension costs of the Company incurred from the contributions to the Bureau of the Labor Insurance amounted to $31,948 and $31,613 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

(p) Employee compensation and directors' remuneration

In accordance with the Articles of Incorporation the Company should contribute 1%~ 5% of the profit as employee compensation, and no more than 5% directors' and supervisors' remuneration when there is profit for the year. However, if the Company has accumulated deficits, the profit should be reserved to offset the deficit.

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company estimated its employee remuneration amounting to $28,500 and $28,000, respectively, and directors' remuneration amounting to $6,500 and $6,000, respectively. The estimated amounts mentioned above are calculated based on the net profit before tax, excluding the remuneration to employees and directors of each period, multiplied by the percentage of remuneration to employees and directors as specified in the Company's articles. These remunerations were expensed under operating costs or operating expenses during 2020 and 2019. If the actual amounts were subsequently decided after the approval and the issuance date of the financial statements in the following year differ from the estimated amounts, the differences are accounted for as changes in accounting estimates and recognized in profit or loss in the following year. If the Board of Directors resolved to distribute the employees' remuneration in the form of shares, the number of shares of the distribution is based on the closing price of the day before the Board of Directors' meeting date.

The amounts of compensation for employees and directors of the Company in 2019 and 2018 were $28,000 and $6,000, $9,000 and $6,000, respectively. There is no difference in the actual distribution situation. Relevant information can be obtained from the Market Observation Post System.

  • e) Quantified information of fair value measurement for significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)

The Company’s Level 3 fair value measurements are financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income – equity instruments investment.

The Company's equity instruments investment without active market include multiple significant unobservable inputs. Those unobservable inputs of equity instrument without active market are independent from each other, thus, they are not correlative. Since the correlation between significant unobservable inputs and fair value cannot be fully measured in practical, the quantified information is not disclosed.

  • 3) Valuation techniques

The valuation assumption and methods of financial instruments not measured at fair value is used by the Company were as follows:

  • a) The fair value of short-term financial commodity is estimated by the carrying amount of balance sheet. The carrying amount is the reasonable basis to estimate the fair value, because the maturity date of the commodity is near. The method applied on cash and equivalent cash, accounts receivables and accounts payables.

  • b) Financial assets at amortized cost (bond investments without active market)

If investments assets measured at amortized cost have transaction price or quotes of the market makers, use the recent transaction price and quotes as the basis of estimating fair value. If without market value, discounted cash flow method or the quotes of the counterparties are used to calculate fair value or the quoted prices of the counter party.

  • c) The refundable deposits and guarantee deposits have no specific maturity date, as a result, using the carrying amount on the balance sheet as the fair value.

  • d) The fair value of investment property is assessed by the market practices.

  • 4) Transfer between Level 1 and Level 2

There were no transfer in 2020 and 2019.

(y) Financial risk management

  • (i) Overview

  • 1) Credit risk

Credit risk is that borrowers failing to make payments, including pre settlement risk and settlement risk. The settlement risk is the counterparties' violation, and the problem of their liquidity limit and procedure. The pre settlement risk is that during the period of deal, the counterparties cannot perform their obligation of the contract, resulting in the risk of loss.

2) Liquidity risk

The liquidity risk indicates that the deficiency of trading volume or lack of trading counterparties results in the risk of finished trade out of expecting timing.

  • 3) Market risk

Market risk includes foreign exchange rates and interest rates. The risk of foreign exchange rates comes from the change of price of foreign currency, includes the change of value, and the change of relationship between currencies, and currency depreciation. The risk of interest rates comes from the change of bond's price, i.e. yield curve risk, when the shape of yield curve risk changes, the risk will occur.

  • (ii) The framework of risk management

Please refer to Note(6)(w)(i)1).

  • (iii) Credit risk

  • 1) The financial assets are classification of credit risk quantity as an assessment of loss. The Company' internal credit risk is classified as low risk, moderate risk and high risk as definition as follows:

    • a) Low risk: The issuers or the counterparties are rated as robust or above to fulfill their obligation of the contracts. Even under various negative news or disadvantageous economic conditions, the companies are capable of dealing with the situations.

    • b) Medium risk: The issuers or the counterparties have lower capability of fulfilling their obligation, disadvantage operation, financial and economic conditions, resulting in weaken capability of dealing with the situations.

    • c) High risk: The possibility that the issuers or counterparties fulfill their obligation is remote and mainly relies on the business environment. Negative news or disadvantageous economic conditions will lower their ability and willingness to fulfill their obligation.

  • d) The impaired items represent the amount of loss allowance provided for financial assets based on the regulations of accounting standards. Under the principle of prudence, the impaired amount is able to reflect the current value of the impaired assets.

  • 2) Determining the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition

  • a) At each reporting date, the Company assessed all the financial instruments applicable for IFRS 9 to determine whether the credit risk has increased significantly since the initial recognition. In order to make this assessment, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information (including forward looking information) that is indicative of significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition. The criteria include external credit rating, overdue status, credit spreads, and other market information related to the issuers or debtors.

  • b) Low credit risk: If it is determined that the credit risk of a financial instrument at the reporting date is low, it can be assumed that the credit risk of the financial instrument has not increased significantly since the date of initial recognition. Judgment criteria: external credit rating above investment grade (Baa3).

  • 3) Measuring the expected credit losses

  • a) The methods and assumptions

    • If the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company shall measure the allowance for impairment of the financial instrument using the 12 month expected credit losses; if the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company shall measure the allowance for impairment using the lifetime expected credit losses.

    • In order to measure expected credit losses, the Company considers the default probability (Probability of default, "PD") of financial assets or issuers or debtors, and loss given default rate ("LGD") multiplying the exposure at default (“ EAD” ), taking into account the time value of money as well evaluate 12 month and lifetime loss.

  • Default probability is the probability that the issuers or the debtors defaults, and the loss given default rate is the rate of loss caused by default by the issuers or debtors. The relevant indicators used by the Company are based on the default rate and loss given default rate published by Moody's.

  • The Company measures the Exposure at default based on the amortized cost of financial instruments plus accrued interest.

UNION INSURANCE CO., LTD. Notes to the Financial Statements

  • 4) Consideration of forward-looking information

The Company obtains forward-looking information which it takes into consideration when determining whether the credit risk of financial instruments has increased significantly since initial recognition and assessing the expected credit losses. The default probability used for impairment assessment of the Company is based on the information which already includes forward-looking general economic information published by Moody's.

(iv) Liquidity risk

The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that there is sufficient liquidity to support the liabilities which is going to expire. The investment targets all have an active market. Financial assets are expected to be sold at a price close to fair value and the own operating capital are sufficient to support the demand for funds needed.so there is no liquidity risk due to the inability to make funds.

(v) Market risk

The goal of market risk management is to control the market risk exposure to an acceptable level and optimize investment returns. The Company uses VAR values to measure price risk. Regularly compare the holding of investment targets with market prices and strictly observe the restrictions on stop-loss. The investment targets do not involve emerging market and commodity risks. It's only foreign currency financial assets and liabilities expose to foreign currency risk and Interest rate risk. The Company conducts stress tests and sensitivity analysis for exchange rate and interest rate risk to ensure that the maximum loss does not endanger the Company's operations.

(z) Capital Management

The policy of the Board of Directors is to maintain robust capital base, and to uphold the confidence of investors, creditors and the market, as well as to support the development of future operations. The capital includes the Company's share capital, capital reserve and undistributed surplus. The Board of Directors controls the rate of return on capital and controls the level of common stock dividends.

As of December 31, 2020, the method of capital management of the Company remains the same.

IV. Effect on Financial Operations of Any Major Capital Expenditures during the Most Recent Fiscal Year

Significant capital expenditures of the Company in the most recent two years and the expected five years in the future: None.

V. Investment Policy of the Most Recent Year, Main Reasons for Income or Loss, Remedial Actions and Investment Plans for the Next 12 Months

The Company takes the property and casualty insurance business as the core development, is committed to the R&D of new policies and expands property and casualty insurance services, and follows the principles of obtaining long-term stable returns and diversifying risks.

VI. Analysis and assessment of risk issues (the most recent year and as of the date of publication of the Annual Report)

  • (I) Effect upon the Company’s profits (losses) of interest and exchange rate fluctuations and changes in the inflation rate, and response measures to be taken in the future

319

1. Interest rate

The Company’s investment positions are mostly fixed-rate products and are held for a long time, which are less impacted by changes in the financial environment. When market interest rates and credit spreads fluctuate greatly, the Company will buy fixed-income products with investment-grade credit ratings and good physique in a timely manner, in an effort to improve the overall rate of return. For the part of demand deposits and cash equivalents, if the interest rate drops by 10Bp, the expected interest income will decrease by approximately NT$2,387 thousand. Regarding deposits, the Company will continue to pay close attention to future changes in interest rates and adjust asset allocation in due course.

2. Changes in exchange rates

The Company has sufficient working capital. The major foreign currency financial assets in 2020 were equivalent to approximately NT$138,165 thousand; among them, US dollars accounted for approximately 95.67% of foreign currency financial assets. For reinsurance and amortization of foreign currencies, natural hedging methods are adopted to avoid exchange rate risks. The Company’s relevant authority and responsibility units collect exchange rate information at any time, and grasp the trends and changes of international exchange rates. After deducting the position of major foreign currency financial assets, if the exchange rate changes by 1%, it will affect approximately NT$591 thousand.

3. Inflation situation

The Company is engaged in the insurance industry, and its business scope does not involve raw materials, so inflation has no significant impact on the Company’s profit and loss.

  • (II) The Company’s policy regarding high-risk investments, highly leveraged investments, loans to other parties, endorsements, guarantees, and derivatives transactions; the main reasons for the profits/losses generated thereby; and response measures to be taken in the future

The insurance industry stipulates that it is not allowed to endorse guarantees for others, and the Company does not have any endorsement guarantees. Regarding high-risk and high-leveraged investments in derivative financial products, the Company has not made any investment activities so far. As for capital loans to others, the Insurance Act has specified the upper limit of the investment ratio, and there has been no case of capital loans to others.

  • (III) Future R&D Projects and Expected R&D Expenditure

  • International Financial Reporting Standard No. 17 International Insurance Contracts will be applied in 2023, and Taiwan is expected to apply the same in 2026. In view of the huge difference between the relevant calculation method of insurance liabilities regulated by the standard and the original calculation method, the cash flow of the incurred claim provision liability needs to be estimated at each point in the future. The time value of money can be used to evaluate the future of insurance contracts. The cash flow amount is in time, and the risk adjustment is the compensation required relative to the fixed future cash flow present value. In order to successfully complete the system-related construction work, in addition to the need to increase manpower and continue to educate and train related personnel, the Company also conducts related system construction work with experienced manufacturers. It is estimated that the cost for completion will be about NT$60~70 million by the end of 2023.

  • (IV) Effect on the Company’s financial operations of important policies adopted and changes

320

in the legal environment at home and abroad, and measures to be taken in response

In order to assist in the development of prevention and mitigation measures that are equivalent to money laundering and capital terrorist financing risks, the Company has established regular and comprehensive money laundering and capital terrorist financing risk assessment operations in accordance with the regulations of the competent authority and a risk-based method to timely and effectively understand the overall money laundering and terrorist financing risks faced, and accurately assess and reduce the customers’ money laundering and terrorist financing risks.

In addition, for the benefit of the financial service industry to comply with laws and regulations, and to pay attention to and implement financial consumer protection, the competent authority requires all financial service industries to formulate “Principles for Fair Treatment of Customers” to achieve a corporate culture with fair treatment of customers as the core and enhance the financial service industry employees’ awareness of financial consumer protection and compliance with relevant laws and regulations on financial consumer protection, in an effort to reduce illegal costs and risks, increasing financial consumers’ confidence in the financial service industry, helping the sustainable development of the financial service industry. The Company will strengthen the implementation of the “principles for fair treatment of customers” strategy, and closely track and supervise the implementation effects of various departments, so as to comprehensively enhance the Company’s image and pursue perfection.

The Company will continue to pay close attention to changes in the Insurance Act, the Company Act and other related laws, as well as the competent authority’s letter of interpretation, to ensure compliance with all laws and regulations.

  • (V) Effect on the Company’s financial operations of developments in science and technology as well as industrial change, and measures to be taken in response

The Company continuously invests in R&D of new products in response to industry growth and market demand, and responds to the needs and changes brought about by technological changes at any time, in an effort to provide policyholders with comprehensive and multi-faceted risk protection and services, and to pursue long-term and stable development of the Company’s financial business.

(VI) Effect on the Company’s crisis management of changes in the company’s corporate image, and measures to be taken in response

The Company regularly convenes shareholders’ meetings and makes real-time announcements of material messages to increase financial business transparency in response to operating conditions. At the same time, in response to potential crises that may affect the Company’s image, the Company has internally formulated various risk management measures and “Operational Crisis Response Measures”. When an operating crisis occurs, the crisis response team will promptly coordinate and initiate response measures. After the crisis subsides, press releases will be issued to important customers to explain the Company’s financial and business conditions in order to maintain the Company’s image.

(VII) Expected Benefits and Possible Risks Associated with Any Mergers and Acquisitions, and Measures to Be Taken in Response: None.

  • (VIII) Expected Benefits and Possible Risks Associated with Any Plant Expansion, and Measures to Be Taken in Response: Not applicable to the insurance industry

  • (IX) Risks associated with any consolidation of sales or purchasing operations, and mitigation

321

measures being or to be taken: Not applicable to the insurance industry

  • (X) Effect upon and risk to the Company in the event a major quantity of shares belonging to a director, supervisor, or shareholder holding greater than a 10 percent stake in the Company has been transferred or has otherwise changed hands, and mitigation measures being or to be taken

The price of the stocks held by the Company’s existing shareholders may be affected by the sale of shares held by major shareholders. Therefore, if the Company’s shareholders have any shareholding changes, they shall report or apply for approval in accordance with relevant regulations. The shareholding changes of the Company’s major shareholders in February 2020 are as follows. This change is due to the transfer of shares held by the same related party, which has no impact on the Company’s stock price and operations.
