In January 2015, the DGBAS concluded Taiwan's 2014 real GDP growth at 3.74%, surpassing all previous estimates. Contrary to Taiwan's strong performance, the U.S. had been the only highlight among the world's major economies. Despite having been struck by a severe blizzard in the beginning of the year, the U.S began its recovery in the Q2 and reclaimed its position as the main driving force behind the world's economic growth. Despite the solid performance of the U.S. economy, conflicts ensued in Ukraine and the Middle East, causing the IMF to revise down the world's growth forecast from 3.4% in July 2014 to 3.3%. From a regulatory perspective, FSC has been encouraging Taiwanese financial institutions to expand outwards into Asia since 2013, given the immense growth potentials that the region had exhibited. For this reason, a number of policies have been implemented to support expansions of Taiwanese banks in Asia over the next 3 to 5 years. FSC's policy focus in 2013 had been the banking sector, where it offered incentives for banks to create new branches or acquire subsidiaries as a means to expand into Asia. In 2014, FSC's focus had extended to cover securities and insurance sectors as well. (2) Changes to the organization According to the Financial Holding Company Act, business activities of a financial holding company are confined to the investment and management of investees. The Company was founded on February 5, 2002. It currently holds controlling interests over investees including Jih Sun International Commercial Bank -6- Ltd. (Jih Sun Bank or the subsidiary bank), Jih Sun Securities Co., Ltd. (Jih Sun Securities or subsidiary securities firm), and Jih Sun International Property Insurance Agency Co., Ltd. (Jih Sun Property Insurance Agency or subsidiary property insurance agency). Founded on December 8, 1961, Jih Sun Securities is one of the longest standing securities firms in Taiwan with more than 50 years of history. It attained the stature of an integrated securities firm in 1989. The company's main business activities comprise of: securities brokerage, proprietary trading, securities underwriting, fixed income, derivatives, and sub-brokerage trading of overseas securities. Over the years, the company has won the trust of investors through its professional knowledge, advanced equipment, and convenient trade services. In 2013, the company set up a new branch in Kinmen, which increased its total branch count to 45. Jih Sun Bank opened for business on April 9, 1992; it was among the first wave of new banks established under the new regulation. The company's business activities are centered around lending with plans to expand into the wealth management segment. Its main services currently include: deposits, remittance, corporate banking, consumer banking, credit cards, wealth management, trust, treasury investment, and electronic banking. The Bank had set up Nangang Branch and Tucheng Branch in 2012, and Luzhou Branch in 2013, which increased its total branch count to 44. Jih Sun Property Insurance Agency was founded on August 12, 2004, and was mainly involved in the distribution of property insurance products. The insurance subsidiary distributes a broad range of property insurance solutions offered by different companies, including fire, accident, vehicle, engineering, credit, liabilities and other forms of property insurance policies. (3) Business plans and results The Company's subsidiaries have made progress in 2014 with regards to their expansions into China; Jih Sun Bank had sign an MOU with Chongqing Yijifu Technology Co., Ltd. for the launch of third party payment services, while Jih Sun Securities had signed an MOU with Chongqing Liangjiang Financial Development Co., Ltd. to set up a fully licensed joint-venture securities firm at Liangjiang New District, Chongqing City, once the cross-strait service trade agreement has been signed. The Company has also performed exceptionally in terms of corporate governance, as it was -7- rated A++ by the Securities and Futures Institute during its 11th "Information Disclosure Evaluation" in 2014. In the meantime, Jih Sun Bank received "Young Entrepreneur Assistance Award" and "Startup Business Assistance Award" from the Ministry of Economic Affairs for actively participating in the SME Credit Guaranteed Lending Program, and was ranked third among banking institutions during Global Views Magazine's "12th Global View 5-star Service Award." As for Jih Sun Securities, the company was rated an A-grade firm by Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation during its derivative market maker review. The Company had effectively executed its business plans in 2014; the following are detailed descriptions of the progresses made: 1. Banking - setting up Hong Kong office and branch in eastern Taiwan. The subsidiary bank has established its Hong Kong office and opened for business on August 29, 2014, according to plan. The branch in eastern Taiwan, however is still being carefully reviewed. 2. Securities - finding partners to set up fully licensed overseas joint ventures; engaging Chinese partners via Jih Sun Investment Consulting (Shanghai) for business development. In February 2014, the subsidiary securities firm founded Jih Sun Investment Consulting (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. for the purpose of serving Taiwanese enterprises and Chinese local companies. In December 2014, Jih Sun Securities signed an MOU with Chongqing Liangjiang Financial Development Co., Ltd. as a commitment to founding fully licensed joint ventures in China, among other collaborations in the banking services. 3. Implementation of employee career development and job rotation programs that build up employees' skills. A series of courses have been launched to train employees of 7 different job roles, including: CSR, consumer banking AO, consumer credit approver, corporate banking RM, corporate banking approver, proprietary trading, and financial management. In addition, courses were arranged to help employees attain certification in foreign currency, property insurance, and life insurance services, and prepare them for the next stage of their careers. -8- 4. Adjust accounting policies and internal control procedures in accordance with IFRS9. Revise the classification of financial assets and evaluate losses on loans and receivables ahead of the new standards. Adopt an expected loss model instead of the historical model and simulate impacts of regulatory changes on the Company and its subsidiaries. Given the fact that IFRS9 has been postponed until 2018, the Company will continue to keep track and plan ahead of the standards, and adjust its accounting policies and internal control procedures accordingly. 5. Virtualization and centralization of computer servers. The IT department has set up a virtual server and a database center, and is currently consolidating system and database servers to achieve centralized management while reducing operating costs. 6. Supervise subsidiaries in the development of differentiated electronic services for e-commerce. All subsidiaries have adhered to their plans to develop differentiated electronic platforms that will help boost e-commerce both in volume and in quality. (4) Revenues, expenses, and profitability analysis Driven by the recovery of the domestic economy, the Company was able to deliver exceptional results with after-tax profit reaching NT$2.443 billion in 2014, representing a growth of 17% over 2013. The Company generated NT$2.522 billion in revenues during 2014, of which NT$2.5 billion were investment gains recognized using the equity method. Operating expenses amounted to NT$83 million while interest expense, other expenses and losses totaled NT$37 million. Income tax benefit totaled NT$41 million, which resulted in an after-tax profit of NT$2.443 billion. This was equivalent to an after-tax earnings per share of NT$0.76, a return on asset of 6.06%, and a return on equity of 7.03%. The Company's business plans were considered to have been soundly executed. Jih Sun Bank has shown continuous improvements in its performance; in 2014, the Bank delivered: NT$2.336 billion in net interest revenue, NT$1.576 billion in non-interest net revenue, NT$3.912 billion in total net revenue, NT$2.837 billion in operating expenses, NT$288 million in bad debt reversal, NT$3 million in income tax expense, NT$1.263 billion in after-tax profit, and an EPS of NT$0.8. It had met its -9- target after-tax profit. In addition, Jih Sun Bank's control over asset quality has improved progressively and in many ways surpassed peer average. Although capital adequacy ratio had dropped from 12.61% at 2013 year-end to 11.12% at 2014 year-end due to development of in-house products, non-performing loan ratios during this period had dropped from 0.55% to 0.08%, whereas loan loss coverage ratio had increased from 209.94% to 1,355.57%. Both non-performing loan ratio and loan loss coverage ratio had surpassed peer average. Performance of Jih Sun Securities was even more stunning; in 2014, the subsidiary delivered: NT$4.015 billion in net revenues, NT$2.673 billion in operating expenses, NT$1.342 billion in pre-tax profit, NT$104 million in income tax expense, NT$1.238 billion in after-tax profit, and an EPS of NT$1.07. The amount of after-tax profit earned was 124% of the targets set for the year. Not only had this performance exceeded the subsidiary's full-year target, it represented a 58% growth over 2013. Jih Sun Property Insurance Agency delivered after-tax profits totaling NT$429 thousand in 2014, representing an after-tax earnings per share of NT$1.43. (5) Business targets, budgets, and execution Below are the Company's performance targets and achievements in 2014: 1. Maintain stable profits. The Company delivered an after-tax ROE of 7.03% in 2014, which exceeded its 6.33% target. This was mainly due to additional after-tax profits contributed by the subsidiary securities firm to the group. 2. Improve profitability ranking among peers; aim to achieve top 9 or top 10 in terms of after-tax ROE, and top 12 or top 13 in terms of after-tax EPS. The Company delivered an after-tax ROE of 7.03% in 2014, ranking 11th among peers; the Company's 2014 after-tax EPS amounted to NT$0.76, ranking 12th among peers. The Company had failed to attain its desired ranking in ROE terms mainly because other financial peers had also improved their performance. Although the Company's profits had increased in 2014, they did not surpass the performance of other peers and hence fell short of the desired ROE ranking. -10- 3. Improve the efficiency at which subsidiaries' capital is used; aim to achieve a consolidated asset-to-net worth ratio of 7.5 times. Consolidated asset-to-net worth ratio was calculated at 7.2 times at the end of 2014, which fell short of the Company's target set at 7.5 times. This was largely due to the lack of growth in Jih Sun Bank's loan portfolio and in Jih Sun Securities' investment positions. (6) Research and development The Company and its subsidiaries are actively invested in the development of new information systems and risk management tools. In 2014, the Company had undertaken R&D projects relating to financial market management, strategy research, IT system development, risk management tools, derivatives, and education & training. 2. Summary of 2015 business plans Ongoing performance improvements have won the Company the recognition of Fitch Ratings. On May 26, 2014, the Company and its main subsidiaries were given the following credit ratings by Fitch Ratings.: (1) Impacts of the competitive environment, regulatory environment, and overall business environment The world economy is expected to continue its recovery throughout 2015. According to the forecasts made by Global Insight (GI), growth of the global economy in 2015 may increase by 0.4% to 0.6% compared to 2014, while U.S. and Europe may improve by as much as 1.0% and 0.5%, respectively, to offset the slowdown in China. Taiwan may well benefit from this change, but having already delivered strong performance in 2014, there may be limited room as to how much economic growth can improve in 2015. According to the latest forecast made by the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics in November 2014, Taiwan is expected to deliver a real GDP growth of 3.78% in 2015. Taiwan Institute of Economic Research, on the other hand, has raised its forecast on Taiwan's economic growth to 3.67% for year 2015, based on the notion that falling oil prices helps boost economic activities. Overall, economic outlook remains favorable both in the domestic and international context. However, the U.S. is perhaps the only nation that has been expected to undergo recovery with much certainty, because the Eurozone remains troubled by problems involving debt, currency and employment even till this date, -11- whereas China's growth has fallen to a slower rate and Japan continues to show weakened demands. The ending of QE measures and expectations toward an interest rate hike in the U.S. coupled with expansionary monetary policies in Europe and Japan will eventually contribute greater uncertainty to global exchange rates, especially for emerging nations. In the domestic context, the signing of free trade agreement (FTA) between China and Korea coupled with the formation of the Chinese supply chain will pose a double impact on Taiwan's exports. Lastly, the government's fiscal shortfalls may also present limitations to the nation's growth. According to the FSC's 5-year "Corporate Governance Enhancement Roadmap" introduced at the end of 2014, TSEC/GTSM listed companies will become subject to mandatory corporate governance assessments starting in 2015. Under the new policy, companies will be required to appoint independent directors, broaden the scope of audit, and implement an electronic voting system for use in shareholder meetings. The purpose of a corporate governance assessment is to help companies understand how their organizations are being managed, which in turn facilitates comparison and competition across peers for the better. Eventually, this assessment will help local companies connect corporate governance practices with the rest of the world, benefiting them and the capital market as a whole. (2) Future strategies The Company's business activities have been centered around commercial banking and securities services. It adopts a strategy that focuses on "Rooting," "Expanding," and "Balancing" its business activities. "Rooting" involves raising competitiveness across subsidiaries and finding suitable targets that can be acquired as a means of growth. "Expanding" involves mainly the extension of core services into the overseas market. Lastly, "Balancing" promotes the idea of growing the Company's business activities in a balanced manner that is sustainable over the future. (3) Key operating policies The Company has set its goals to "become customers' most trusted financial partner" and adopted a business philosophy that emphasizes on "customer service, trustworthiness, teamwork and harmony." Below are the operating guidelines that the Company has developed based on its strategies: 1. Strengthen financial structure via improved profitability. -12- 2. Reduce business risks with enhanced risk management 3. Reduce operating costs 4. Raise service quality via innovation (4) Operating policies and plans The Company holds controlling interests in Jih Sun International Commercial Bank Ltd., Jih Sun Securities Co., Ltd., and Jih Sun International Property Insurance Agency Co., Ltd. The subsidiary bank and securities firm are the Company's primary business focus. As for Jih Sun International Property Insurance Agency, the company will continue to operate on its current base without any major developments planned. 2015 will undoubtedly become Jih Sun Holding's shining moment, because both of its main subsidiaries will strive to achieve further success in their fields of expertise and aim to broaden their reach towards the Greater China Market. Below is a description of the business plans adopted by the Company, the banking subsidiary, and the securities subsidiary. 1. Strengthen financial structure via improved profitability To improve financial position, the Bank will actively supervise the performance and profitability of its subsidiaries and use cash dividends received as a source of working capital for the parent company. Meanwhile, the Company will carefully evaluate all possible sources of capital that can be used to enhance its financial structure. 2. Reduce business risks with enhanced risk management To effectively reduce business risks and facilitate decision-making, steps will be taken to continually improve the Company's risk management policies, procedures, tools and information. 3. Raise operating performance via reduce operating costs To effectively reduce operating costs, business units will be making collective purchases for greater bargaining power. Furthermore, the IT department will continue to virtualize and centralize the database server, using one sizable machine to host the needs of all different applications for lesser costs. -13- 4. Raise service quality via innovation In terms of e-commerce, the Bank will continue to invest in new systems and new functions, and create a digital platform that distinguishes itself from competitors. These new features may include trading, mobile, and social network services for the securities sector, and mobile payment, mobile banking and webATM for the banking sector. Meanwhile, the Bank will strive to make good use of mobile tools and technologies to promote management and efficiency within the organization, and raise customers' satisfaction outside the organization. (5) Business targets The global economic outlook remains favorable in 2015, as the world's major economies are still in the state of recovery. Taiwan may well benefit from this recovery and achieve an estimated growth of 3.67% in 2015, according to the estimates made by Taiwan Institute of Economic Research. Although we are committed to delivering better performance, we remain conservative in setting our business targets for 2015: 1. Maintain profit growth; aim to raise after-tax ROE to 6.63% or above. 2. Improve profitability ranking among peers; aim to achieve top 9 or top 10 in terms of after-tax ROE, and top 12 or top 13 in terms of after-tax EPS. 3. Improve the efficiency at which subsidiaries' capital is used; aim to achieve a consolidated asset-to-net worth ratio of 7.46 times. 3. Credit rating Ongoing performance improvements have won the Company the recognition of Fitch Ratings. The Company and its main subsidiaries were previously rated Fitch on January 9, 2013; and Fitch had later confirmed on December 18, 2013, that the following ratings remained effective: 1. Jih Sun Holding - awarded a domestic long-term rating of A-(twn), a domestic short-term rating of F2(twn), and a stable outlook. 2. Jih Sun Bank - awarded a domestic long-term rating of A-(twn), a domestic short-term rating of F2(twn), and a stable outlook. 3. Jih Sun Securities - awarded a domestic long-term rating of A(twn), a domestic short-term rating of F1(twn), and a stable outlook. -14- This concludes the report of our business performance for the previous year and prospects for the upcoming year. We are grateful to shareholders' long-time support over the years and wish to have your continual encouragement. We give you our best regards for the upcoming future.

(3) Risk management: The Bank will follow the guidelines given by Group Risk Management Division and monitor value at risk (Var) generated by the risk management system - Risk Metrics. Coupled with the implementation of internal risk management procedures, the implementation of transaction systems and mid-office and back-office systems, the Bank shall be able to trade and monitor risks more effectively. (8) Electronic banking business Electronic banking transactions accounted for 66.56% of the Bank’s entire transactions in 2013, which indicates that our electronic banking platform has become a necessity in customers’ financial activities. The Bank is also dedicated in the development of various e-banking functionalities, in order to develop the most suitable electronic services for the public and for corporate customers. The following developments were planned for the current year: A. To build a financial trading platform that integrates all parts of the financial holding group To meet customer’s comprehensive demands for financial instruments and wealth management, in addition to over one hundred wealth management services offered currently, the “WebATM” service is newly introduced to shorten the collection process and enhance timely trading in order to attract online shoppers and merchants. The Bank will continue to introduce more wealth management products and instruments to deliver more comprehensive and diverse financial services 24 hours a day. -128- B. To enhance the functions of the foreign exchange services This year, the DBUs are allowed to engage in RMB transactions such as exchange, wire transfers and time deposits and to provide the service of full payment in USD to be paid in a day so as to provide customers with more diverse and convenient wealth management service of foreign currency. C. To enhance the service functions of trust business Through launching the product of “Funds denominated in foreign currencies issued by the domestic investment trust companies,” the Bank expands the selections of investment and wealth management for customers. In addition, the Bank will add the trading function to overweight in the Fund of Fund (FoF) in the product of “Chih-Fu Dynamic Locked-return Investment Plan.” Through this plan, the investors can define the portfolio according to individual risk tolerance, execute stop profit redemption with efficiency, and gradually earn the profits to become a top performer. D. To improve mobile service functions We have offered the functions of mobile banking such as NTD deposits account balance, transfer of pre-designated accounts and credit card payments for the Bank’s cards. This year, we added credit card services, including providing the information of the latest activities, billing details and payment history so that mobile users can use convenient electronic banking service anywhere, anytime. E. To expand the corporate E-banking platform Our goal is to improve credit guarantee and cash flow management for SMEs and we will continue the bundled marketing strategy. The Bank focuses on the needs of SMEs, continues to add autonomous information disclosure of SMEs in bank reconciliations and statement of cash flows. The Bank also continues to improve internal promotion of services, gain promotional capabilities and improve the training of electronic banking for employees to increase sales. -129- The Bank has made use of modern digital networks to provide convenient cash flow services such as: personal/corporate Internet banking, webATM, mobile banking, and online cash collection. Cash flow services are no longer confined to physical branches or stores, but instead made accessible via electronic devices such as PC, laptop, smart phone, tablet, or anything that connects to the Internet. This frees customers from the constraint of time and space, allowing them access to the Bank's services anytime, anywhere. The Bank has been active in the development of electronic banking solutions to stay ahead of the ongoing trend and satisfy customers' banking needs. In 2014, electronic banking had accounted for 69.18% of the Bank's total transactions, which proved itself an inseparable part of customers' financial activities. For this reason, the Bank has been paying close attention to the development of electronic banking services and finding ways to make services more accessible to the public. The following plans have been made for the current year: (1) Foreign currency services The Internet banking system will feature new functions that allow consumers to make advanced purchases of foreign currency and inquiries of exchange rate history. Meanwhile, the mobile banking system will feature a foreign currency inquiry function that gives customers more convenient means to access the services required. (2) Trust services New functions will be introduced to enable inquiries on preferred stock holding positions, transaction records, quotations, and the prospectus. (3) Mobile banking services In addition to existing functions such as NTD deposit inquiry, pre-set account transfer, card bill payments, credit card inquiries (such as latest events, statement details, payment records) etc, new features including foreign account inquiry/transaction and fund inquiry/transaction will also become available this year. -130- (4) Mobile payment The Bank has become a member of Taiwan Mobile Payment Company's "PSP TSM" platform.

Derivatives and services planned for the future At the moment, the non-life insurance market is virtually saturated. A non-life insurance firm when developing new products must call for investments in research & development costs and call for support of the reinsurance firms behind it. Besides, the non-life insurance products call for the review process only for the first license. The products of the same category require only an easy process with a report. As a result, the non-life insurance firms have been copying the same products and seldom created new products. In the recent years, only the medical fault liability insurance, group sportsman injury insurance, pet insurance have come into being but have seen sluggish sales performance amidst the limited markets. -132- In addition, from the perspective of the insurance agent at the Bank, the premium and fee income of property insurance products subject to the warranty period and instrument specifications are much cheaper than the other financial instruments. While product innovation is hard to come by, how to increase the fee income has become the most daunting challenge currently faced by the property insurance agent of the Bank. The Company will carefully partner with insurance companies that possess strong brand images and highly efficient cooperation in administrative operation. We will also evaluate whether insurance companies have packaged their products and granted claims in conformity to market expectations before providing the sales channels and recommending them to customers. Product innovations are rare in the property insurance business not only because of the costs involved in developing new products, but also because of imitations from peers. Due to the lack of innovation and ease of price comparisons, the Company will try to distinguish itself from peers by having branch employees provide customers with faster quotation and more immediate responses and more immediate responses, thereby enhancing customers' loyalty. Customers have become increasingly acceptive of insurance protections in recent years, which presented a good timing to introduce health insurance products. In light of this trend, the Company will first aim to enrich its product line by working with insurance companies that are characterized by solid reputation and good administrative efficiency. In the meantime, the Bank will observe how the insurance partner's health insurance products have performed via the distribution channels and met market's expectations, before referring them to the Bank's customers. -133- (II) Business plan for this year Jih Sun Financial Holding Co., Ltd. In prospects for 2014, the domestic and international economy is expected to recover, but some uncertainties may affect the economic development in the future, which will also affect the future development of the Company.

Server virtualization and database server centralization. 2.

Although economic outlook remains positive for 2015, there are uncertainties that may work against the market's expectations and the company's performance as a result.

Reduce business risks with enhanced risk management To effectively reduce business risks and facilitate decision-making, steps will be taken to continually improve the Company's risk management policies, procedures, tools and information. -134- 3. Reduce operating costs To effectively reduce operating costs, business units will be making collective purchases for greater bargaining power. Furthermore, the IT department will continue to virtualize and centralize the database server, using one sizable machine to host the needs of all different applications for lesser costs. 4. Raise service quality via innovation In terms of e-commerce, the Bank will continue to invest in new systems and new functions, and create a digital platform that distinguishes itself from competitors. These new features may include trading, mobile, and social network services for the securities sector, and mobile payment, mobile banking and webATM for the banking sector. Meanwhile, the Bank will strive to make good use of mobile tools and technologies to promote management and efficiency within the organization, and raise customers' satisfaction outside the organization.

Since the “Financial Holding Company Act” was enacted and put into effect in July 2001, a total of 16 financial holding corporations have applied and been approved for incorporation. Among the domestic financial holding groups, with the exception of the Company, Yuanta, and Waterland, domestic financial holding companies tend to focus on banking or life insurance businesses. With comparative analyses of asset sales and profitability of the 16 financial holding corporations in Taiwan, the Company might be relatively smaller in scale, with total assets and shareholder’s equity slightly greater than the Waterland. In the domestic banking market, the Taiwan branch of ANZ Bank (Taiwan) Limited was reorganized as a Taiwan subsidiary in April 2013. The total number of domestic banks increased to 39. In recent years, domestic banks have been establishing branches in Mainland China and Southeast Asia actively, participating in equity investment or directly conducting M&A of the local banks to establish a trans-regional operating structure. In response to the overseas deployment, many financial holding companies and banks had arranged a cash capital increase in 2013 to raise funds for overseas investments and to enrich the banks’ proprietary capital and enhance their financial structure. Peer companies which completed the fund-raising include Cathay Financial Holdings for NT$12.7 billion, Shin Kong Financial Holding for NT$6.5 billion, Chinatrust for NT$20 billion, and Mega Financial Holding for NT$21.5 billion. In the domestic securities market, large securities firms continue to conduct M&A to enhance their market share. In 2009, KGI Securities Investment Trust Co., Ltd. merged with Taiwan Securities Co., Ltd., KGI Securities Investment Trust Co. Ltd. merged with Concord Securities and Waterland Securities merged with Great Wall Securities. In 2011, Capital Securities merged with International Securities and Yuanta Securities merged with Polaris Securities. In 2012, Mainland China Development Financial Holding acquired 50.1% shareholding of KGI Securities and SinoPac Securities merged with Pacific Securities. In 2013, KGI Securities merged with Grand Cathay Securities. The trend of centralizing the stock market becomes evident after the merger and integration of large securities firms. After the merger, Yuanta Securities now owns the market share of over 13%. KGI Securities, after merging with Grand Cathay Securities, now owns the market share close to 9%. -141- To analyze the aspect of the policies and regulations, the “Cross-Strait Services Trade Agreement” was signed on 21 June 2013. The commitment to open financial service industry made by both sides is a major progress for cross-strait financial transactions. Mainland China has made commitments to Taiwan to open insurance, banking and securities & futures business on 1 item, 6 items, and 8 items. Taiwan has made commitments to Mainland China to open insurance, banking, and securities & futures business with 1 item, 4 items, and 4 items. In addition, in terms of accounting and auditing, Mainland China has made commitments to Taiwan to open 3 items that contribute to further interaction of the cross-strait financial sectors. In addition to the items on the ECFA preliminary list, the Financial Supervisory Commission solicits more preferential terms for our financial industry than any other WTO member countries, which is helpful in entering the Chinese market. It helps our financial industry to expand market deployment and operation in Mainland China. In addition, regarding the promotion of the “Free Economic Pilot Zones (FEPZs),” the Council for Economic Planning and Development had announced the “Promotion and Practices of the FEPZs in Phase I” on 8 August 2013. Those which can be promoted with the amendments to the administrative regulations before passing the “FEPZs Special Statute,” are listed as the items for promotion in Phase I. In Phase 1, the restrictions will be lifted through administrative deregulations to promote the free flow of people, instruments, capital and information, including the amendments to 13 administrative regulations and 112 other promotion practices. The wealth and asset management business related to financial service will be included in the FEPZs Phase I. The qualified financial institutions are encouraged to develop financial instruments by virtual methods and through business and regulatory classifications to be ready for a more open market, the soon, the better. Jih Sun Financial Holding Co., Ltd. Since the implementation of the "Financial Holding Company Act" in July 2001, a total of 16 financial holding companies have been approved and founded. With the exception of Jih Sun, Yuanta, and Waterland, domestic financial holding companies tend to be based upon banking or life insurance services. Judging by asset size, profitability and other business indicators, the Company's consolidated assets and shareholders' equity are only slightly larger than Waterland Financial Holdings. -142- There had been two prominent local mergers in 2014. One of which involved Bank of Panhsin's general acquisition of all operating and non-reserved assets and liabilities held by Ninth Credit Cooperative of Taipei on July 21, 2014. After the acquisition, Bank of Panhsin was able to increase its total assets from NT$162.9 billion to NT$189.3 billion and gain control to 18 new branches within Taipei City. The other merger involved acquisition of Cosmos Bank by China Development Financial Holding Corporation (CDFHC), for which the FSC had approved on July 29, 2014, to proceed by way of a share exchange. After the share exchange, Cosmos Bank will become a 100%-owned subsidiary of CDFHC. What Cosmos Bank brings to the merger are full commercial banking service capacity covering everything from corporate banking, consumer banking, deposits, foreign currencies to wealth management that complements what CDFHC has to offer. This merger is expected to bring more comprehensive financial services and increase branch size to 53 nationwide. In the securities segment, many of the large players have been actively acquiring smaller businesses not only to increase their local market share, but also to in 2014 extend reach towards the Asian market. One of the above examples was Yuanta Polaris Securities' attempt to bid for a controlling interest in Tongyang Securities, Korea. Tongyang Securities was court-auctioned following the bankruptcy announcements made by two of its largest shareholders, namely Tongyang International and Tongyang Leisure. In light of this development, Yuanta Polaris Securities had submitted a bid to the Korean court to acquire a 27.27% ownership interest from the two shareholders. Meanwhile KGI Securities, a subsidiary of CDFHC, acquired a 100% ownership interest in AmFraser Securities Pte. Ltd. (AmFraser) through its Singaporean entity KGI Asia (Holdings) Pte. Ltd. The acquired entity is expected to commence wealth management services in 2015 first half by the latest. The number of securities firms in Taiwan in January 13 2014 has gradually dwindled in midst of the series of mergers; however, the founding of Friendly Securities Co., Ltd. in 2014 had brought new energy into Taiwan's securities services for the first time in more than a decade. Friendly Securities has had extensive business experience in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan; its expertise lies particularly in the IPO of A-shares in China. Friendly Securities has been founded with the goal of becoming an "unconventional" securities firm that assists Taiwanese enterprises in IPO listing and bridging them to the capital market. -143- From a regulatory perspective, FSC has also been encouraging Taiwanese financial institutions to expand outwards into Asia since 2013, given the immense growth potentials that the region had exhibited. For this reason, a number of policies have been implemented to support expansions of Taiwanese banks in Asia over the next 3 to 5 years. FSC's policy focus in 2013 had been the banking sector, where it offered incentives for banks to create new branches or acquire subsidiaries as a means to expand into Asia. In 2014, FSC's focus had extended to cover securities and insurance sectors as well. In terms of foreign regulations, Taiwan has developed collaborative relationship with the United States on "Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act" (FATCA); on June 23, 2014, the U.S. Department of the Treasury included Taiwan as one of the nations that are deemed complied with FATCA, thus avoided the 30% tax that would otherwise be imposed on certain parties because of the act. According to FATCA, Taiwanese financial institutions are required to obtain a "Global Intermediary Identification Number" (GIIN) from the U.S. Internal Revenue Services as a proof that they have complied with the act. Jih Sun Securities Co., Ltd. Based on the figures from the TWSE and the GTSM, the total trading volume in 2013 in TWSE and GTSM was NT$23.0406 trillion, declining by 0.8% from the NT$23.2252 trillion in 2012. In 2013, the TAIEX closed at 8,611.51, an increase of 11.85% from the 7,699.5 in 2012. In 2013, foreign investors made up 24.6% of the trading volume, a 22.6% increase from the level in 2012. Major figures of the Taiwanese stock market are as follows. Compared to 2012, in 2013, the market value of publicly traded stocks rose from NT$21.35 trillion to NT$24.52 trillion, marking an increase of 14.83%; the number of publicly traded companies rose from 809 to 838; the number of individuals with securities trading accounts rose from 9.11 million to 9.27 million, marking an increase of 160,000 investors. Daily average trading dollar amount, however, declined from NT$81 billion to NT$77 billion, or by 4.89%. The number of accounts with active trading as a percentage of total accounts declined from 22.23% to 20.41%, putting enormous pressure on the revenue of securities brokerage service. The result was that there were 84 securities brokerage head offices and 956 branch offices at the end of 2013, declining form the level at the end of 2012. -144- According to the statistics compiled by Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation (TSEC) and Gretai Securities Market (GTSM), foreign investors accounted for 23.8% of all TSEC trade volume in 2014, which was slightly lesser than the 24.6% concluded in 2013; in dollar terms, foreign investors had overweighted Taiwan's stock market by NT$388 billion. In 2014, the TAIEX averaged 8992 points, up 11.1% from the 8093 points in 2013. TSEC and GTSM combined a total trade volume of NT$29.52 trillion in 2014, representing a significant increase of 25.6% over the NT$23.51 trillion concluded in 2013. Key statistics regarding Taiwan's stock market showed that total market capitalization had increased from NT$24.5 trillion to NT$26.9 trillion, representing a 9.7% increase in 2014; meanwhile, the number of listed companies had increased from 838 to 854, and the number of securities account holders had increased by 180 thousand from 927 thousand to 945 thousand. At the end of 2014, there were 81 securities firms operating 931 branches nationwide; which represented a decrease from the 84 firms and 956 branches registered in 2013. In light of the ongoing merger, the number of securities firms in Taiwan should continue to fall in 2015. Jih Sun International Commercial Bank Limited The pre-tax profits of all domestic banks was NT$257.6 billion in 2013, representing a 7% growth from the NT$240.1 billion in 2012 that was a record high in profitability for four consecutive years. The excellent performance of the domestic banks in profitability was mainly due to the significant profit growth of overseas branches and OBU. The pre-tax profits of the domestic bank’s overseas branches and OBU was NT$48 billion in 2011, accounting for 24% of the NT$200 billion generated by the domestic banks; also, it was NT$74.4 billion in 2012 with a profit ratio as high as 31%. The pre-tax profits was NT$80 billion in 2013 with a profit ratio as high as 32%. The Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics (DGBAS) announced on 18 February 2014 that Taiwan’s 2013 economic growth rate was 2.11%, representing a 0.63% growth from 1.48% in 2012. Although domestic finance and commodity prices remained stable, the growth momentum of foreign trade was significantly decreased and the growth rate of production and wages remained unclear, added to the sluggish domestic demand; however, due to the international economic recovery, the government is promoting the “Economic momentum enhancement -145- program” and accelerate the signing of trade agreements with other countries. Taiwan’s 2014 economic growth momentum will be accelerated moderately. The DGBAS on 18 February 2014 also announced that Taiwan’s GDP was expected to reach 2.82% in 2014. Along with the cross-strait currency settlement mechanism introduced, the RMB business is implemented in full scale. The government continues to promote the “Financial Industry Development Direction and Plan.” The promotion of the financial industry development policy has been gradually moving towards a planned economy model. The management model is shifting from eliminating defaults to generating profits. Each financial policy is becoming more active and open that it is expected to further enhance the domestic bank’s earnings momentum and the net interest and fee income growth of the banking sector is expected to remain stable. The overall profitability of Taiwan’s financial market in 2014 is optimistic. In 2014, the world economy had underperformed to what the public had expected by the end of 2013. This was largely due to slower recovery in Europe and sluggish performance from Japan following the increase of consumption taxes. Although the United States had shown recovery as expected, it came one quarter too late to provide any significant boost to the growth of emerging economies. Taiwan, on the other hand, delivered much better economic performance in 2014 than the year before. On February 16, 2015, the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics estimated Taiwan's economic growth at 3.74% for 2014, representing a significant improvement over the 2.11% registered in 2013. According to the forecasts made by Chung-Hua Institution for Economic Research, the world economy may only inch forward in 2015 at best, because even if both Japan and the Eurozone resolve to expansionary measures, the falling oil price will once again put the two economies in risk of deflation and undermine their recovery. As for the U.S., an interest rate hike planned sometime over the next year coupled with falling price of oil and reduced output from U.S. shale gas producers will limit the potentials of the U.S. economy. Lastly, China lacks the ambition to stimulate its economic growth beyond the normal rate, therefore growth of the global economy may be as little as 3.00% in 2015. Taiwan's economic growth will inevitably be affected by this general slowdown, and according to the DGBAS' forecast, Taiwan may delivered as small a growth as 3.78% in 2015. -146- Although the overall economy had performed below expectation, the Bank still managed to hold on to its focus of "management, innovation and growth" and won "Young Entrepreneur Assistance Award" and "Startup Business Assistance Award" from the Ministry of Economic Affairs for actively participating in the SME Credit Guaranteed Lending Program in 2014. Also, the Bank was ranked third among banking institutions during Global Views Magazine's "12th Global View 5-star Service Award." This was also the year when we completed setting up our Hong Kong office and took a giant step toward globalization, and combined new technologies to introduce the industry's first "SMART BANKING" APP. Our success in 2014 had laid down the foundation for our future growth. As of the end of 2014, the Bank maintained a capital adequacy ratio of 11.13%, a performing loan coverage ratio of 1.09%, a non-performing loan coverage ratio of 1335.57%, a non-performing loan ratio of 0.08%, and delivered NT$1.264 billion in after-tax profit, which was equivalent to an EPS of NT$0.80. Despite intensive competition within the domestic banking environment, the Bank had performed exceptionally and won a sustained long-term credit of "A-(twn)" with a "stable" outlook from Fitch Ratings. Although the external environment is expected to remain uncertain and competitive throughout 2015, the authority's financial liberalization measures should prove favorable to the banking industry as far as profitability is concerned.

Identify elite leaders from top performers and apply advanced training to help them gain more in-depth knowledge towards insurance, so that they can lead their colleagues to accomplish more challenging targets accomplish more challenging targets and develop proper sales habits. Explore greater potentials out of existing customers by introducing them to the company's rich product line. -164- II. Effectiveness of cross-industry marketing and co-marketing In order to provide more comprehensive products and services to its customers, Jih Sun Financial Holding Co., Ltd. has established co-marketing counters at certain branches/branch offices of its subsidiary bank and securities company; this establishment was intended to achieve reductions in operating costs, resource sharing, and the full utilization of synergies within a financial holding company. To provide network services that help customers find what they need quickly, the Company has integrated all online functions of its subsidiaries into the homepage of Jih Sun Financial Holding Co., Ltd., thereby providing the customers with easy access to product information offered by our various subsidiaries and complete transactions online. This improvement has substantially raised customers’ satisfaction and contributed favorably to our corporate image. Our future growth will still be driven by customers’ needs. By adhering to our service quality standards and ensuring satisfaction in the financial products we offer, while leveraging on the co-marketing efforts of our subsidiaries, we will improve the profitability of Jih Sun Financial Holding Co., Ltd. and maximize the benefits of our integrated marketing strategy. III. Market and business overview Jih Sun Financial Holding Co., Ltd. 1. Regions where our primary products (services) are mainly sold (provided) The Company currently targets the sale (provision) of its primary products (services) in Taiwan, with overseas markets as secondary targets. Main product and service categories Securities and futures related businesses (brokerage, proprietary trading, underwriting, futures, bonds, wealth management, derivatives, financial consultation, stock transfer agent, international business, securities investment consultation etc.) Banking related businesses (deposits, loans, foreign exchange, wealth management, consumer banking, credit cards, corporate banking, trust, and electronic banking etc.) Agency for property and life insurance -165- Major markets Based in Taiwan and progressing into the Greater China region Based in Taiwan and progressing into the Greater China region Based in Taiwan and progressing into the Greater China region 2. The market’s future supply and demands Currently there are 16 financial holding companies registered in Taiwan; most of which have allocated a significant amount of resources in their banking subsidiaries. The banking industry as a whole remains over-populated with service providers. In an attempt to compete in size, several securities firms have voluntarily resolved to merger in recent years; banks, however, have not delivered results in this respect. As a solution, the Ministry of Finance will be spearheading a number of mergers involving state-owned banks. Due to implementation of the new Basel Accord, lack of eligible capital is likely to become the biggest challenge to local banks. Because the new Basel Accord (Basel III) requires banks to maintain an increasing capital adequacy ratio, state-owned banks have been estimated to encounter a shortage of capital by 2016, meaning that there will be ongoing needs to strengthen capital over the next few years. Given the general lack of capital among state-owned banks, the Ministry of Finance is currently working on three solutions to address the problem. The first solution involves the government making budgets to subscribe to cash issues; the second solution allows state-owned banks to contribute a lesser portion of their earnings to the treasury and instead use this money to boost special reserves; the third solution gives privatized state-owned banks more incentives to issue stock dividends. According to the FSC's 5-year "Corporate Governance Enhancement Roadmap" introduced at the end of 2014, TSEC/GTSM listed companies will become subject to mandatory corporate governance assessments starting in 2015. Under the new policy, companies will be required to appoint independent directors, broaden the scope of audit, and implement an electronic voting system for use in shareholder meetings. The purpose of a corporate governance assessment is to help companies understand how their organizations are being managed, which in turn facilitates comparison and competition across peers for the better. Eventually, this assessment will help local companies connect corporate governance practices with the rest of the world, benefiting them and the capital market as a whole. The world economy is expected to continue its recovery throughout 2015. According to the forecasts made by Global Insight (GI), growth of the global economy in 2015 may increase by 0.4% to 0.6% compared to 2014, while U.S. and Europe may improve by as much as 1.0% and 0.5%, respectively, to offset the -166- slowdown in China. Taiwan may well benefit from this change, but having already delivered strong performance in 2014, there may be limited room as to how much economic growth can improve in 2015. According to the latest forecast made by the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics in November 2014, Taiwan is expected to deliver a real GDP growth of 3.50% in 2015. Taiwan Institute of Economic Research, on the other hand, has raised its forecast on Taiwan's economic growth to 3.67% for year 2015, based on the notion that falling oil prices helps boost economic activities in January 2015. Overall, economic outlook remains favorable both in the domestic and international context in 2015. However, the U.S. is perhaps the only nation that has been expected to undergo recovery with much certainty, because the Eurozone remains troubled by problems involving debt, currency and employment even till this date, whereas China's growth has fallen to a slower rate and Japan continues to show weakened demands. The ending of QE measures and expectations toward an interest rate hike in the U.S. coupled with expansionary monetary policies in Europe and Japan will eventually contribute greater uncertainty to global exchange rates, especially for emerging nations. In the domestic context, the signing of free trade agreement (FTA) between China and Korea coupled with the formation of the Chinese supply chain will pose a double impact on Taiwan's exports. Lastly, the government's fiscal shortfalls may also present limitations to the nation's growth. 3. Business targets The global economic outlook remains favorable in 2015, as the world's major economies are still in the state of recovery. Taiwan may well benefit from this recovery and achieve an estimated growth of 3.67% in 2015, according to the estimates made by Taiwan Institute of Economic Research. 2015 will undoubtedly become Jih Sun Holding's shining moment, because both of its main subsidiaries will strive to achieve further success in their fields of expertise and aim to broaden their reach towards the Great China Market. Although we are committed to delivering better performance, we remain conservative in setting our business targets for 2015: (1) Maintain profit growth; aim to raise after-tax ROE to 6.63% or above. (2) Improve profitability ranking among peers; aim to achieve top 9 or top 10 in terms of after-tax ROE, and top 12 or top 13 in terms of after-tax EPS. (3) Improve the efficiency at which subsidiaries' capital is used; aim to achieve a consolidated asset-to-net worth ratio of 7.46 times. -167- 4. Upcoming opportunities and threats, and the responsive strategies (1) Opportunities A. New e-commerce opportunities being made available in BANK3.0 The Bank will strive to make good use of mobile tools and technologies to promote management and efficiency within the organization, and raise customers' satisfaction outside the organization. In terms of e-commerce, the Bank will continue to invest in new systems and new functions, and create a digital platform that distinguishes itself from competitors. These new features may include trading, mobile, and social network services for the securities sector, and mobile payment, mobile banking and webATM for the banking sector. B. Competitive advantage capable of dominating overseas markets Jih Sun Securities has already accumulated abundant experience from Taiwan and Hong Kong, whereas Jih Sun Cresvale's Shanghai office has also built up complete knowledge bank about the Chinese market. The Chinese government is expected to release 9~10 licenses for joint-venture securities firms in the future. By signing MOU with a counterpart in China, Jih Sun Securities may have access to one of the few fully licensed joint ventures in China. (2) Threats and responsive measures Threats Local and foreign uncertainties undermine Taiwan's economic development and the financial sector Potentials of the subsidiary bank are confined by its small asset size Responsive measures The parent company conducts annual reviews of its business strategies and plans, and guides subsidiaries toward developing their own plans as well. Uncertainties and impacts they have on Taiwan's economic development have been taken into consideration as one of the key risk assessments. The parent company will continue to monitor changes in the external environment and keep track of how subsidiaries have accomplished their targets. Any abnormalities will be discussed and addressed immediately in meetings. The subsidiary bank will continue to adhere to its "segmentation and innovation" strategies, and find the best mix of revenues that is sustainable over the long term. Apart from corporate banking, consumer banking and wealth management, the Bank will also dedicate a part of its resources to e-commerce, enhancing system functionalities and introducing third-party payment among other payment tools for the convenience of customers. -168- Jih Sun Securities Co., Ltd. 1. Regions where our primary products (services) are sold (provided) The Company currently targets the sale (provision) of its primary products (services) in Taiwan, while overseas markets serve as secondary targets. Main products and services Major markets Securities and futures related businesses Mainly focused in Taiwan. In terms of world (brokerage, proprietary trading, underwriting, market exposure, the Company is able to reach futures, wealth management, bonds, derivatives, the U.S., Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, U.K., stock agency, international business, securities Australia, South Korea and other markets investment consultation etc.) through sub-brokerage. 2. The market’s future supply and demands Securities have long been regarded as a leading economic indicator. According to the "World Economic Outlook" published by IMF In January 2015, growth estimates for the global economy had been adjusted downwards by 0.3% to 3.5% in 2015 and 3.7% in 2016; the United States was the only nation to have its GDP growth raised, by 0.1% to 3.6% in 2015. The world's GDP growth estimates were revised downwards mainly due to concerns that the U.S. expansion does not compensate the slowdown in China's growth, its impacts on Asian emerging economies, weakened prospects in Russia, and the slump experienced by commodity exporters. Meanwhile, IMF issued a warning to developed nations that they should maintain a loose monetary policy in order to weather through the risks of deflation. There are upsides to the world's economy, as falling oil prices are believed to boost economic activities; meanwhile, downsize risks and changes in market sentiment are largely connected with performances of individual markets, especially among emerging economies where the fall of oil price has given rise to concerns toward oil exporters. For Europe and Japan, stagnant economy and low inflation rates are the two issues of concern. 3. Business targets (1) Lead industry peers in terms of financial health. (2) Achieve excellence in branch efficiency. (3) Secure profitability from brokerage services. (4) Explore underwriting opportunities and build up brand image overseas. -169- (5) Achieve efficiency in the sale of derivatives and hedging solutions. 4. Upcoming opportunities and threats, and the responsive strategies (1) Opportunities A. Policy aspect: the authority has been active in the promotion of Banking 3.0 and opening securities firms to OSU services. In light of this change, the company will aim to broaden the scope of its securities services, bringing new products such as derivatives and ETFs into the mix. Meanwhile, the "Stock Market Enhancement Program" that has been planned for the future will connect the local market to the rest of the world, and present securities firms with even greater prospects. B. Market aspect: the availability of RMB bonds and Formosa bonds not only gives investors more options to place their assets, but presents securities firms with viable income sources as well. Listing of T-shares and F-shares should result in a boost in the company's underwriting services. Lastly, the introduction of RMB currency futures and other new systems have been expected to boost the market's trade volumes. (2) Threats A. Policies: although capital gains tax on billion-dollar traders has been postponed until January 1, 2018, the reduction of imputation tax credit and introduction of affluent tax will pose additional costs for investors and may undermine their intent in making short-term investments. In addition, introduction of the U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) will present additional operating costs to financial institutions. In response to this threat, the company will first try to maintain interactions with brokerage customers and secure their relationships, while in the meantime explore other sources of revenue such as securities lending, dividends etc. to make up for the lost interests and revenue from long-term investment dividend and interest. B. Market aspect: Taiwan's stock market, currently dominated by natural-person investors, may undergo structural changes in the future given the prevailing disparity of wealth. This development will inevitably limit the company's commission income. In response to this change, the company will begin targeting wealth management -170- services at corporate customers and natural-person customers, and exploring non-brokerage revenues from sources such as derivatives, underwriting, and financial consultancy. Meanwhile, we shall shift our underwriting efforts to prominent industries such as Internet, communications, biomedicine, culture and creativity. Jih Sun International Commercial Bank Limited 1. Regions where our primary products (services) are mainly sold (provided) The Bank holds the license of a commercial bank and offers services throughout Taiwan. As of the end of 2014, the Bank owned 44 offices in Taiwan. In an attempt to expand into the Great China Region, the Bank has set up its Hong Kong office on August 29, 2014, and uses it to source customers from Hong Kong, eastern and southern China. Currently, the majority of its products are marketed within Taiwan, whereas overseas markets remain a secondary focus. 2. The market’s future supply and demands (1) As the world economy progresses into an era of mediocrity characterized by low growth, low inflation, low investments and low interest rate, integration with the regional economy becomes as necessary as it is viable. To participate in such a movement, a financial institution needs to raise the strength of its products and services and constantly innovate to satisfy customers' changing demands. (2) Evolution of mobile communication and Internet technologies have presented us with four main trends: social networking, mobile applications, data analysis, application and cloud computing. In the future, e-commerce should evolve and become a main driver of economic activities, while at the same time enabling financial institutions to monitor customers' behaviors and satisfy needs. (3) FSC has continued its support for the "SME Lending Initiative," under which banks are encouraged to extend loans to small and medium enterprises within manageable risks. According to FSC's statistics, local banks had lent a total of NT$5,163.9 billion to SMEs by the end of December 2014, which was NT$402.9 billion higher than the balance outstanding as at the end of 2013 and represented an achievement rate of 167.88%. The Bank has set its goals to lend NT$240 billion to SMEs in 2015, which still remains its highest target to date. (4) Today, the FSC continues to deregulate and open up the market to broader -171- opportunities. In terms of opening up to Asian prospects, the FSC has identified four main strategies that involve: "Overseas Database Development," "International Supervision," "Simplifying Regulatory Procedures," and "Nurturing Global Talents." With regards to the creation of an "Asia Pacific Financial Hub," the FSC has introduced offshore banking, securities and insurance units as means through which local financial institutions may offer services to overseas customers, and encouraged them to develop financial products that appeal to Chinese customers. With regards to the execution of "Capital Importation" initiative, the FSC has devised a 2-stage strategy that involves deregulation in stage 1 (enabling insurance companies to carry out transactions at local banks and securities firms), and product innovation in stage 2 (developing innovative abilities via training, investment or acquisition of foreign financial institutions). In terms of build up a digital financial environment, the FSC has enabled insurance companies to accept applications online and is currently exploring solutions to enable online account opening for banking and securities customers. 3. Business targets "Segmentation and innovation" will be the main growth strategies in 2015, and for which 6 business goals have been identified: 1. Accumulate assets and customers for greater profitability. 2. Diversify risks in terms of product line and region. 3. Maintain pricing discipline for higher spread. 4. Increase the percentage of risk-less, fee-based income. 5. Enhance customer relationships. 6. Improve service quality. Competition and uncertainties are expected to remain throughout 2015, which the Bank will respond by continually pursue performance growth and achieve the goals it has set. 4. Opportunities, threats and responsive measures (1) Opportunities A. In 2014, local banks as a whole delivered an after-tax earning of NT$320 billion, representing a 25% increase over the NT$257.6 billion registered in 2013. This performance marked the 5th consecutive year in which the Bank has delivered record-high profits. B. In December 2014, the central bank maintained its rediscount rate unchanged -172- at 1.875% for the 14th consecutive quarter, and hinted that an interest rate hike is imminent in the future. A high interest rate environment works in favor of the financial sector. C. The government has completed a draft regulation for third party payment services; this new service may provide financial institutions with new sources of profitability. D. Ongoing deregulations regarding the types of customers and derivatives available to OBUs will provide banks with enhanced competitiveness to satisfy the needs of different customers and eventually increase profits. E. As part of FSC's "Capital Importation" initiative, banks have been granted the permission to provide "Information and Consultative Services on Offshore Derivatives," which not only helps nurture domestic banking talents but also enables local banks to develop new financial products. F. The government encourages financial institutions to venture into Asia by loosening restrictions on overseas investments and mergers. (2) Threats A. FSC has required local banks to increase loan loss provisions on mortgages to 1.5% by the end of 2016, which will reduce the amount of profits reported by banks. B. A rise in interest rate without a corresponding increase in real salary may suppress private consumption over the medium term. C. The government's new fiscal policy will increase income tax rate from 2% to 5% for the banking industry, and hence reduces profitability. D. Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) had finalized the method of calculation for liquidity coverage in 2013, and recommended all nations to adopt the new calculation starting in 2015. FSC and the Central Bank have assembled a project team and begun drafting standard processes and calculations that will conform with international practices. Furthermore, banks have been required to maintain a liquidity coverage of no lesser than 60% in 2015, which increases by 10% each year until 100% by 2019. E. The new property tax reform, once effected in the near future, is likely to have an adverse impact on real estate prices, therefore cooling the property market -173- even further and reducing the number of new mortgage cases. F. Banks that have lagged behind in overseas deployment are less able to compete in overseas businesses. G. Medium-term and long-term sources of capital will become a major issue if the bank was to grow its portfolio and establish overseas branches at the same time. (3) Responsive measures A. Adjust the risky asset portfolio in a way that reduces concentration to large credit customers. Enhance quality of the lending portfolio and aim to raise loan loss coverage. B. Enhance capital structure; adopt the Basel III accord to strengthen the Bank's tolerance to risks. C. Grow wealth management services by introducing a broad variety of products and services. D. Optimize use of capital. Match assets properly with liabilities for greater efficiency. E. Manage and cut down expenses to secure earnings. F. Exercise sales management. Raise productivity to support future growth. G. Exercise risk management and controls over operations, exposures, and credit rating. H. Create a user-oriented electronic service platform where more convenient tools and broader product varieties can be offered. I. Create new businesses to join new markets. work with banks in China, Hong Kong and Japan (Shinsei Bank) to build up international service capabilities. -174- Jih Sun International Property Insurance Agency Co., Ltd. 1. Regions where our primary products (services) are mainly sold (provided) Our major markets are Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, and Matzu. 2. The market’s future supply and demands Following the establishments of financial holding companies, the use of banks as sales channels has become the latest trend, as well as a major income source, to Taiwan’s insurance market. The flourish of banking insurance under a financial holding structure is inevitable. Through cross-selling within the FHC, industry participants are able to identify potential customers at lower costs; they can also introduce customized products by packaging different products offered in various parts of the FHC and compete on product differentiation. In the aspect of non-life insurance, the insurance premiums and the handling charges are relatively low when compared with life insurance. Taking the profit gain into account, the market shall naturally aim at life insurance products that are the backbone targets and which would inevitably edge out non-life insurance products. In the non-life insurance agent business, therefore, we shall firmly stick to the ratio of renewal of the existing business lines (e.g., fire insurance policies for loan clients), we shall try to provide a variety of market channel customers to more convenient services in compulsory insurance policies or provide life insurance alternatives. In the commodity strategies, we shall try to maintain integral commodities on the shelves. For the same insurance products, we shall try to team up with multiple firms in close cooperation to provide customers with added choices. 3. Upcoming opportunities and threats, and the responsive strategies. (1) Opportunities A. Local residents are placing more emphasis towards risk planning; their understanding of finance has improved and are more receptive towards different sales channels. The market has potential for more complex products and sales methods. B. Compared to peers that rely solely on one sales channel, the Company has the advantage to utilize banking and securities networks to distribute its products. C. The company's main distribution partners are highly receptive towards property insurance products, and have produced good results in various campaigns. -175- (2) Threats A. Property insurance products are mostly renewed on a yearly basis. The market currently has an oversupply of similar products and sales personnel, which gives customers easy access to price information and thus resulting in price competition. This reality also has negative impacts on fees earned by insurance agencies. B. For fire insurance, property insurance companies need to review premium rates regularly based on claims made in the last year. Due to reduced loss rate and intensive peer competition, premium rates on residential fire insurance are being adjusted downwards year after year, and therefore resulted in lower fees earned by insurance agencies. (3) Responsive measures A. Increase the number of insurance partners. Enrich product line to satisfy customers’ diverse needs and improve sales. B. Promote insurance renewals to prevent loss of existing customers. Secure existing customer base as the main source of income. C. Enhance insurance selling skills (and complementary selling skills) among securities brokerage and banking staff. D. Increase the number of insurance products sold per customer through active promotion. E. Encourage employees to purchase insurance coverage from the Company, thereby secure revenues while offer greater welfare in return. -176- IV.Employees (I) The number of employees, their average years of service, average age, academic background, professional qualification, education and training in the last 2 years up till the publication date of this annual report 1.

Employees' training and continuing education (1) In 2014, a total of 16,260 trainings were given at a cost of $7,884,225. External trainings totaled 8,371 hours, internal trainings totaled 43,660 hours, and online learning totaled 41,039 hours. (2) The development of human resource is the Company’s long-term goal. To facilitate further growth while satisfying employee career development, we have established the relevant training policies along with other supplementary measures, thereby creating opportunities for our employees to learn and grow. (3) In compliance with regulations and the authority, the Company actively appoints employees to participate in various professional training sessions and fully subsidizes all training expenses. (4) To provide broader varieties of learning opportunities apart from the physical internal and external trainings, the Company has also established a digital learning platform and online examination platform (“JihSun College” learning network). The network combines the Company’s KM platform and offers more than 300 courses online, giving employees the opportunity to self-study without the restrictions of time or space. -179- V. Corporate responsibility and social morale Please see P.80~P.84. VI. IT equipment (I) IT system structure 1. Most of the Company’s IT systems, including non-account management systems of its subsidiaries, run on Microsoft structures. the Company’s strategic goal is to establish a single line of IT supply that consolidates human and technical resources under unified command; this in turn reduces operating costs and raises overall service quality. 2. The banking subsidiaries use HP DL980 advanced servers and AS400 medium server as NTD and foreign currency core bookkeeping and trust fund back office systems platforms. In addition to the official and testing server for backup locally, the IT remote backup center is also self-constructed. 3. The securities subsidiary currently uses a Tandem NB and S Series mainframe to operate its accounts system. Two systems are installed in the northern and middle regions to provide backup support for each other. (II)Major events in the past year 1. Establishment of a data warehouse system for the financial holding Since the completion of a data warehouse system, several data analyses were added to enhance the effectiveness of product marketing; these functions are listed as below: (1) Data inquiry platform (2) OLAP online analysis (3) Credit risk inquiry (4) Reports center 2. Mobile banking system upgrade In light of rapid advancements in mobile commerce, customers will be given more rapid means through which to transact. For this purpose, the Bank had begun planning for the development of a mobile banking system since 2011, and later completed Web versions for Android and iOS smartphones later in 2012, followed by the launch of iOS APP in 2013 and Android APP in 2014. 3. Offering greater product and service varieties -180- The Bank has launched new products in 2014 to accommodate deregulation measures such as: day trading, leveraged/reverse ETF, trading of Emerging Stock Market Funds etc. New deregulations on international securities services have made it is possible for customers to settle transactions of U.S., Japanese, and Singaporean stocks in NTD. A series of new upgrades has therefore been planned to improve the electronic trading system. In terms of wealth management, customers have been offered a broader range of financial products to choose from and a convenient trading platform through which to invest. With regards to the mobile platform, the Bank has introduced a Derivative APP, an Online APP, a SMART APP, and continually enhanced new functions in its existing WTS APP. Meanwhile, the AP version of the trading system has been given the ability to trade Emerging Stock Market shares. 4. Major projects (1) Mobile payment service The Bank's NFC ATM card has been successfully connected with Taiwan Mobile Payment Company's mobile payment platform since December 2014, making it one of the 18 financial institutions to first connect with Taiwan Mobile Payment Company. The Bank expects to launch new NFC credit cards in the first half of 2015, by which time customers will be able to download an APP named T Wallet and apply a 4G USIM from a telecom company to download ATM card and credit card functions over-the-air (OTA) into their cellphones. After which, customers may simply run the T Wallet APP and choose the card they want to use. This type of technological innovation is what the Bank will rely upon to give customers better user experience. (2) Development of Jih Sun Cloud The Company has begun construction of Jih Sun Cloud since the end of 2014. The cloud creates a mobile office environment where consumer banking officers and financial advisors can access back-office functions using their handheld devices without the constraint of time and place. This added mobility has the potential to raise customers' satisfaction towards the Company's services. (3) Continual system efficiency improvements To support new policies and products, the company will continue expanding its existing system and resolving to solutions such as virtual machine and -181- centralized database. In addition, the company will be placing order through Taiwan Futures Exchange's (TFE) "New FIX Platform" in 2015, thereby offering customers a faster transaction experience with the potential to connect to the world. An off-site backup unit will also be created to improve the stability and service quality of the e-commerce website.

Analyses and assessments of the following risk management issues in relation to the consolidated financial and business performance during the last fiscal year, up until the publication date of this annual report: (I) Risk management framework and policies for the financial holding company and its subsidiaries 1. Risk management framework Board of Directors of FHC Audit Division Risk Management Division Chairman of FHC Credit Risk Department Risk Management Committee Market Risk Department President of FHC Operational Risk Department Risk Management Divisions of subsidiary bank / securities firm Risk management units in various departments 2. Risk management policy The Company’s risk management principles (1) To create independent and effective risk management framework and policies, which can be used to evaluate and monitor the risk tolerance and exposure within the Company and its subsidiaries, to determine proper responsive actions and ensure compliance to risk management procedures. (2) To build a scientific risk management system that can be used to identify, analyze, assess, and handle the major risks that are likely to result in negative impacts to the Company and its subsidiaries. This system can also help decide how to respond to the risks involved and limit the impacts within tolerable levels. -220- (II) The methods adopted by the financial holding company and its subsidiaries for assessing and controlling risks, and their quantified risk exposures 1. General disclosure (1) The Company’s risk management principles A. To establish a scientific risk management system that analyzes risk objectively and helps achieve reasonable returns. B. An efficient risk management structure allows each business unit to perform its daily operations while a dedicated risk management division within the unit reports regularly to the Board of Directors for immediate and effective risk monitoring. Upon discovery of substantial risk exposure that is potentially detrimental to finance, operations, or regulatory compliance, immediate actions must be taken and reported to the Board of Directors. C. To adopt an overall risk management system that monitors the capital adequacy of the Company and its subsidiaries based on their business scales, credit risks, market risks, operational risks, and future prospects; to supervise the Company’s total exposure and allocate investments based on its distinct capital and debt characteristics. (2) There are two characteristics of the Company’s risk management system A. Timeliness: To raises alerts, responsive actions, and avoidance measures in a timely manner to all possible risks involved during the decision-making processes undertaken by the Company and its subsidiaries. B. Effectiveness: The Company and its subsidiaries have implemented proper procedures, supervision, and contingency plans to address the risks they are facing and to ensure the effectiveness of their risk management systems. (3) The Company’s risk management system is capable of identifying and handling the following risks A. Assets and liabilities risk: Loans, deposits, and asset allocation are the primary businesses and functions of a financial institution. As a result, the Company often encounters mismatched maturities between its long term and short assets and liabilities, and thus undertakes liquidity risks arising from different -221- term structures as well as any potential interest rate variations. The Company addresses the following risks in the manners described. a. Liquidity risk: In addition to meeting the minimum reserve and liquidity requirements imposed by the authority, the Company and its subsidiaries also conduct liquidity analyses, create management indicators, set limits on indicators, and develop responsive strategies to prevent incidents of illiquidity. b. Structural interest rate risk: Apart from preparing interest rate sensitivity balance sheets, the Company and its subsidiaries also conduct interest rate sensitivity analyses, create management indicators, set limits on indicators, and develop responsive strategies and hedging solutions to minimize exposure to interest rate risks. B. Market risk: As a result of continuing business development and active trading in financial derivatives, the Company is consistently exposed to volatile asset prices caused by market factors (such as changes in interest rates, share prices, exchange rates etc.). Apart from developing scientific methodologies and market risk management systems, the Company and its subsidiaries also create management indicators and set limits on indicators to effectively evaluate market risk exposure. C. Credit risk: As a result of active trading in financial instruments and its expanding credit portfolio, the Company is exposed to credit risks that counterparties or customers might default on their obligations due to loss-making businesses or deteriorated financial position. Apart from establishing consistent standards for evaluating and classifying asset quality, the Company and its subsidiaries also monitor larger exposures on a regular basis and make timely loan loss provisions as they arise. Credit information of counterparties and loan customers are updated and monitored on a timely manner; asset diversification and risk grading are enforced according to credit policies; management indicators are established to reduce default risks and concentration risks. -222- D. Operational risk (including legal risks): Operational risks may arise from internal processes, staff’s misconducts, errors of the systems, or external factors, including legal risks. To minimize losses arising from operational risks that affect our business goals, the Company and its subsidiaries have complied with internal operational risk management policies, operational risk organization framework, and operational risk management practices by carrying out a series of risk self-assessments and event/key risk reporting mechanisms. These practices enabled the Company to identify, assess, monitor, manage, and minimize its exposure to operational risks. 2.

The Company had amended "Jih Sun Financial Holding Asset Acquisition and Disposal Procedures" to accommodate changes in regulations. 2.The Company had amended "Jih Sun Financial Holding Principles for Non-credit Transactions with Stakeholders" to accommodate changes in regulations. 3.The Company had amended "Jih Sun Financial Holding Work Rules" to accommodate changes in regulations. 4.The Company had amended "Jih Sun Financial Holding Personal Information Security Principles" to accommodate changes in regulations. (IV) Effects of technological and industrial changes to the financial holding company’s financial and business performance, and the responsive actions For banks, new technologies present challenges as well as opportunities! Internet banking and mobile banking services have been favored by customers for the convenience they bring without the constraint of time and space. Using these new technologies, the Bank will strive to explore deeper into customers' needs and behaviors, launch new products and services from a multitude of perspectives, and even reach customers that it never could before. The security of customers' information is of utmost priority when it comes to designing the trading platform. Data transmission is protected by 128-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol, the same mechanism that is used for general and low-risk activities. The messages exchanged are encrypted using passwords agreed between the customer and the system, which gives customers access to full functionality at the level of security they deserve. For low-risk Internet banking transactions, IC ATM cards are used as a means of security control; as for high-risk transactions, XML certification is used as a form of enhanced identification and protection. The system simultaneously caters for users' need for convenience and security, giving customers the luxury to access all of our services with relief. Given the growing popularity of mobile devices, the Bank has made its mobile banking services easily accessible using different smartphones (iOS and Android systems). In addition, the Bank has joined TMPC's "PSP TSM" scheme that gives customers full control of how to pay for their purchases, whether using ATM cards or credit cards, all with a tap of their cellphones. Plans for electronic banking services: 1. Introduce a greater range of mobile banking functionalities and manage customer relationships over social networks 2. Bring more depth into electronic banking services by exploring new functionalities -226- The e-commerce system can serve its purpose only with the right equipment, refined programs, and an increasing range of products and services. The authority's Bank 3.0 initiative will change how people go about their banking activities. In response to this development, the Bank shall continually monitor changes in the market and introduce innovative products within the confines of law through a secured and stable digital environment. This new model has the potential to reduce personnel costs and bring greater revenues, and create a new area of expertise where we can compete in. 1. Expected benefits (1) To strengthen capital structure; to gain market share, technology, and distribution channels within a relatively short timeframe. (2) To expand overseas markets, generate income, and diversify risks through multi-dimensional business activities. (3) To expand business coverage, reduce operating costs, improve efficiency, and provide comprehensive financial services to customers. (4) Synergies in co-marketing; to maximize values for our shareholders, customers, and employees. (5) To shorten organizational learning curves; to keep pace with market changes and capture opportunities that are soon to disappear. 2. Potential risks (1) The volatile stock market produces large discrepancies between the market price and the reasonable value. Determining the reasonable merger and acquisition price can become a challenging task. (2) The Company must accept all asset and liability risks of the acquired or merged financial institution. (3) Failure to integrate corporate cultures and human resources may result in the loss of key talents. (4) Over-estimated synergies that cannot be materialized after the merger or acquisition. 3. Responsive measures (1) To seek for due diligence assessments by professional institutions, CPAs, and independent directors etc.; to project financial and business impacts to the Company under all possible circumstances. (2) To conduct human resource capacity assessments to identify critical personnel as well as skill shortages; to settle employees’ issues with the help of human resource experts; to eliminate employees’ doubts by establishing transparent corporate policies and direct communication channels. (3) To assemble an experienced project team that clearly sets out purposes, plans, long-term goals, and the forms of merger and acquisition. -227- (V) Risks of Concentrated Business and the Responsive Measures 1. Bank subsidiary 2014 Proportions 102年度銀行授信業務比重 in Credit Business of the Bank Consumer banking 消費金融業務 47.61% 4 6 .0 5 % Corporate Banking 企業金融業務 52.39% 5 3 .9 5 % As deposits and loans are the main businesses of the Bank, liquidity risk and credit risk are the first priorities in our risk management. In terms of liquidity risk, apart from maintaining 1st (i.e. required deposit reserve) and 2nd (i.e. liquidity reserve) reserves on deposits held according to the regulations of the governing authority, we have also added other liquidity risk management indexes with strict control measures. In terms of credit risks, among the Bank’s 2014 credit business, consumer loans account for about 47.61% of our total loan amount, while corporate loans account for about 52.39%. In 2015, the Bank will maintain its current lending policy for consumer banking, and focus on diversifying asset concentration for its corporate banking segment, so that the Bank is less dependent upon large borrowers. The adjustment will begin by reducing the significance of the Bank's top 100 customers, exercising more rigorous control over high-risk customers, and refining our credit grading system for better grasp over business risks. -228- 2.

With respect to operational risk, the subsidiary complied with the competent authority and the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation by establishing the relevant processes and procedures, and enforcing internal audits and controls to prevent adverse occurrences. In addition to meeting the minimum reserve and liquidity requirements imposed by the authority, the Company and its securities subsidiary also conduct regular liquidity gap analyses to prevent incidents of illiquidity.

The Bank has established “Business Contingency Measures” which shall be acted accordingly in the event of crisis management policies, notification procedures and the respective measures to continue the normal operation of the Bank, should any operational crisis arise due to massive losses of capital or other issues of significant lack of liquidity. (II) Contingency Measures for Major Disasters To minimize the impacts of natural and man-made disasters to the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, and to outline effective responses to major disasters, a “Disaster Response and Recovery Policy” and an “Emergency Response Policy” have been established to provide the principles and reporting procedures in times of extraordinary events. Emergency response teams are also in place to assist in handling major crises, maintaining business operations, and recovering from any damages. VIII. Other Material Issues Although capital requirements on market risk were not calculated using the Internal Model Approach (IMA), the Company and its subsidiaries followed the IMA minimum requirements specified by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in the Basel Capital Accord to monitor group market risks on a consolidated level. Details are as follows: In addition to the traditional control measures, such as authorized exposure limits, stop-loss, stop-authority, and stop-gain thresholds, risk indicators (i.e. Greeks, DVO1, etc.) were also used by the Company and its subsidiaries to identify, measurement, control, and manage market risks. Furthermore, VaR (Value at Risk) was introduced to estimate risk exposure. VaR is calculated based on the maximum potential loss arising -234- from market price changes within a specific holding period at the specified confidence level. (I) Market Risk Identification The Company’s internal market risk estimation models incorporate risk factors such as interest rate, foreign exchange, equity, and commodity markets. (II) Market Risk Measurement 1. VaR (Value at Risk) The criteria of the Company’s VaR calculations are as follows: Model: The calculation of VaR is mainly based on Monte Carlo simulations, but we also have the flexibility to use the Variance-covariance matrices or the Historical simulations. Method: To calculate market price volatility of the previous year by using the exponentially weighted moving average method (EWMA). Frequency: Market information is updated daily. VaR is measured based on one-tail, holding period at the confidence level of 99%. The VaR of the bank subsidiary and securities subsidiary in Q1, 2014 are as follows: Unit: NTD100 million 1-Day VaR at 99% C.L. 2014/12/31 Quarterly low Quarterly high Quarterly average Subsidiary Bank 0.346 0.042 0.476 0.248 Securities subsidiary 0.151 0.085 0.131 0.203 Covariance Adjustment -0.135 -0.021 -0.075 -0.109 Financial Holding as a whole 0.362 0.106 0.532 0.342 2. Stress testing The stress testing value for the Company’s market risk represents the simulated losses based on the following factors: (1) Single-factor sensitivity. (2) Historical Scenario. (3) Self-defined Scenario; similar to item (1), but taking into account the risk factor of the exposure and the related volatility. -235- 3. Back testing Gains and loss are compared against estimated market price changes, which were calculated based on the 1 day VaR estimated at the confidence level of 99%, assuming that position remains unchanged throughout the day. These results are used to test the effectiveness of our modeled forecasts. (III) Market Risk Control The Company calculates the stress testing limit and the VaR at a confidence level of 99% for the Group on an annual basis, based on the Risk-adjusted Return of Capital (RAROC) and the budget surplus of its subsidiaries. The limits are then examined and approved by the Risk Management Committee and the Board of Directors of Jih Sun Financial Holding Co., Ltd. (IV) Market Risk Management The Company’s market risk management involves the daily monitoring of VaR, calculated at a confidence level of 99%, and the stress testing value for limit breaches. The “Daily Report of Market Risk Overview” is emailed to the Chairmen, Presidents, and the head of the Risk Management Division throughout the financial holding group; the “Daily Report of Market Risk Overview” is also presented to the head of the Risk Management Division within the group in hard copy. Monthly reports of risk management are presented to senior managers, based on which they will raise risk-related issues during the next Audit Committee or Board of Directors meeting. If any breaches were found, the Company and its subsidiaries will adhere to their internal procedures and responsive measures to mitigate accordingly. (V) Please describe the types, objectives, methods, effects and accounting treatment for the hedging transactions of financial products (including derivatives financial products) if applicable. The Company did not adopt hedge accounting; therefore, it was not applicable. -236- Special remarks -237- Jih Sun Venture Capital Co. , Ltd.

The standard also regulated that items under other comprehensive income should be presented by pre-tax amount. The related tax effect should be disclosed separately based on the aforementioned categorization. The Company and its subsidiary will change the presentation of the statement of comprehensive income in conformity with the amendments. -255- (English Translation of Financial Report Originally Issued in Chinese) JIHSUN FINANCIAL HOLDING CO., LTD.

(c) IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement” The standard defines fair value, provides a single IFRS framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurement. The Company and its subsidiary are in the process of making an assessment of the impact of this standard. So far, the Company and its subsidiary consider this is unlikely to have a significant impact on the Company’s and its subsidiary’s financial statements and have enhanced its disclosure about the fair value measurement accordingly.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D) (a) IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” (1) Recognition and measurement of financial assets With regards to financial assets, all recognized financial assets that are within the scope of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” are subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value. Under IFRS 9, the debt instruments of the Company and its subsidiary are to be measured at amortized cost if they are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and the contractual cash flows are for payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding only. Other financial assets not meeting aforemetioned criteria are measured at fair value. At initial recognition, the Company and its subsidiary may designate an equity investment, which is not held for trading, recognizing its’ subsequent changes in the fair value in other comprehensive income, and only dividend income is generally recognized in profit or loss. (2) Recognition and measurement of financial liabilities With regards to financial liabilities, the major difference is the subsequent measurement of financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss. The changes in fair value of the financial liabilities resulting from credit risk are recognized in other comprehensive income, and are not allowed to reclassify in profit or loss in subsequent period, the remaining changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss. If the accounting treatment of designated financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss resulted in or enhanced accounting mismatching, then all changes in fair value of the financial liabilities are recognized in profit or loss. (b) Amendments to IAS 36 “Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets” In issuing IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”, the IASB made some consequential amendments to the disclosure requirements in IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”, introducing a requirement to disclose in every reporting period the recoverable amount of an asset or each cash-generating unit. The amendment clarifies that the disclosure of such recoverable amount is required during the period when an impairment loss has been recognized or reversed. Furthermore, the Company and its subsidiary are required to disclose the discount rate if the Company and its subsidiary calculate the recoverable amount by the fair value less costs of disposal using present value method. Except for the aforementioned impact, the Company and its subsidiaries are continuously assessing the possible impact on the financial position and financial performance as a result of the adoption of the above standards and interpretations, and the relevant impact will be disclosed when the assessment is completed. 4.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D) (b) Transactions and balances When preparing the individual financial statement of each consolidated entity, transactions using foreign currencies are translated into functional currency using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary foreign currency financial assets and liabilities are using the spot rate at the balance sheet date, and the exchange difference is recognized in the profit or loss of the current period. Non monetary foreign currency financial assets and liabilities which are measured by fair value shall be translated using the spot rate at the balance sheet date.

When a partial disposal includes affiliates or joint ventures with foreign operations, the related cumulative exchange difference should be re-attributed to profit or loss in proportion. If the Company and its subsidiaries have no reimbursement plan or it is impossible to reimburse in the foreseeable future, the exchange differences derived from monetary receivables or payables to foreign operations should be regarded as part of the net investment to that foreign operation, and recognized as other comprehensive income.

(F) Securities under repurchase / resell agreements Securities purchased under resell agreements are treated as financing transactions. When the Company prepares the financial statements, the transactions are recognized as “securities purchased under resell agreements”. The difference between the purchase price and resell price is treated as interest income. -262- (English Translation of Financial Report Originally Issued in Chinese) JIHSUN FINANCIAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D) Securities sold under repurchase agreements are treated as financing transactions. When the Company prepares the financial statements, the transactions are recognized as “securities sold under repurchase agreements”.

Proceeds from short selling of securities of stock loan (less stock exchange tax, handling fee for consigned trading, and securities financing fee) are collected as collateral and are recorded as deposits payable for securities financing. Customers may receive the deposits and proceeds from repayment of the securities. When the Company lacks sufficient funds for securities financing the margin customers, the refinancing amount acquired from securities finance enterprises is recorded as refinancing borrowings, and the stocks purchased by margin customers are collected as collateral by securities finance enterprises. When the Company refinances securities from securities finance enterprises, if it does not have sufficient securities, the deposit paid is recorded as refinancing margin.

If the securities in a customer’s margin account cannot be disposed of, then the receivables for securities provided as collateral, in accordance with the actual situation, should be recognized as other receivables or overdue receivable. Securities lending is only noted in memo, not recognized as the assets of the Company, vice versa. The acquired collaterals are not stated in the reports if they are securities; whereas, they should be recognized as securities lending refundable deposit if the collaterals are cash collaterals. The securities lending revenue and service fee are recognized as securities lending revenue. -263- (English Translation of Financial Report Originally Issued in Chinese) JIHSUN FINANCIAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D) (H) Financial assets and financial liabilities (a) Financial assets All of the Company and its subsidiaries’ financial assets are classified as “loans and receivables”, “financial assets at fair value through profit or loss”, “held-to-maturity financial assets”, “available-for-sale financial assets” and “financial assets carried at cost”. (1) Loans and receivables Loans and receivables include the origination and non-origination. The originated loans and receivables are considered as providing money, products or services to the debtor. The non-originated loans and receivables are considered as anything except from the originated ones. Loans and receivables are recognized initially at fair values which consist of attributable price acquired, significant transaction costs, payment or receipt of significant service fees and all other premiums or discounts. Subsequent evaluation uses interest method. However, in conformity with the article 10-7 and article 10-10 of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Banks, while the influences of discount are insignificant, the loans and receivables could be measured by initial recognized amount. (2) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss A financial asset is classified in this category if it is classified as held-for-trading or is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they have been acquired principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. The subsequent evaluations are measured at fair value, and changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss. Purchases or sales of financial assets under a customary way use trade date accounting. Financial assets are designated as at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition under one of the following situations: A. Designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognizing the gains and losses on them on a different basis; B. Performance of the financial asset is evaluated on a fair value basis; C. A hybrid instrument contains one or more embedded derivatives. -264- (English Translation of Financial Report Originally Issued in Chinese) JIHSUN FINANCIAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D) Financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition are recognized under “financial assets at fair value through profit or loss” in the balance sheet. Any change in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized under “gain or loss on financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss” in the statement of comprehensive income. The derivative financial instruments held by the Company and its subsidiaries, except for those designated as hedging instruments, are classified under these accounts. (3) Held-to-maturity financial assets Debt instruments which the Company and its subsidiaries have a positive intention and the ability to hold to maturity are recorded under held-to-maturity financial assets and measured at amortized cost. The financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, held-to-maturity financial assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Purchases or sales of financial assets under a customary way are using trade date accounting. (4) Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified in any of the other categories of financial assets. Available-for-sale financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, except for impairment losses, interest income calculated using the effective interest method, dividend income, and foreign currency differences on available-for-sale debt instruments, are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in the unrealized valuation gain or loss on available-for-sale financial assets. When an investment is derecognized, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss, and is included in statement of comprehensive income account as realized gain or loss on available-for-sale financial assets. Under a customary way purchases or sales of financial assets shall be recognized and derecognized, using trade date accounting. (5) Financial assets carried at cost Equity instruments with no quoted market price are initially recognized at whose fair value plus transaction costs. When the variances of reasonable estimation of the financial assets’ fair value are considered as significance, and the probabilities of the different estimation cannot be estimated reasonability, resulting in the assets’ fair value cannot be measured reliably, should adopt cost method to measure the financial assets. -265- (English Translation of Financial Report Originally Issued in Chinese) JIHSUN FINANCIAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D) (b) Financial liabilities Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss which held by the Company and its subsidiaries are including held-for-trading and designated as at fair value through profit or loss financial liabilities. A financial liability is held for trading if it is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term; on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit taking. A derivative, except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument, is classified as instrument held for trading as well. Financial liabilities held for trading include obligations to deliver financial assets borrowed by a short seller. Financial liabilities are classified as held-for-trading and designated as at fair value through profit or loss, both of them are classified as “Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss”. The changes of fair value changes are recognized in profit or loss, and are included in statement of comprehensive income account as “Gain or loss on financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss”. (c) Derivative instruments Derivatives instruments is initially recognized at fair value on contract date and subsequently measured at fair value. Fair value includes quoted price in an active market, occurring market transaction prices, discounted cash flow model or option pricing model techniques. When the fair value of a derivative instrument is positive, it is classified as a financial asset, and when the fair value is negative, it is classified as a financial liability. The Company should accounts for an embedded derivative separately from the host contract when the host contract is not itself carried at fair value through profit or loss, the terms of the embedded derivative would meet the definition that the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, or the entire hybrid contract is not designated as at fair value through profit or loss. In addition, the embedded derivative is recognized as financial asset or liability at fair value through profit or loss. (d) Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities The Company and its subsidiary shall derecognize a financial asset when the contractual rights of the cash flows from the financial asset expire or transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets. While the financial liabilities are discharged or cancelled, or expired, the financial liability shall be derecognized. When the Company and its subsidiaries have securities borrowing transactions or pledge securities or bonds as collaterals, such financial assets shall not be derecognized because the Company and its subsidiaries substantially still bear all the risks and -266- (English Translation of Financial Report Originally Issued in Chinese) JIHSUN FINANCIAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D) rewards of the financial assets. (e) Offsetting of financial instrument The Company and its subsidiaries present financial assets and liabilities on a net basis when the Company and its subsidiaries present have the legally enforceable right to offset and intend to settle such financial assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. (f) Reclassification of financial assets The reclassification of non-derivative financial assets is in accordance with IAS 39 as endorsed by FSC. (I) Investments in associates Investees in which the Company and its subsidiaries directly or indirectly hold more than 20% of the outstanding stock with voting right, or hold less than 20% but are able to exercise significant influence over the investees are accounted for under the equity method and initially recognized at cost. Goodwill, relating to an associate is included in the book value of the investment. After the date of acquisition the Company’s share of the profit or loss of the associates is recognized in profit or loss. Distributions received from an associate reduce the book value of the investment. Adjustments to the book value of the investment may also be necessary for changes in the Company and its subsidiaries’ proportionate interest in the associates arising from changes in the associates’ other comprehensive income. Changes in ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Adjustments to the book value of the controlling interest and non-controlling interests are to reflect the changes in the subsidiaries’ proportionate interest. The difference between the adjustment amount of non-controlling interests and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized in equity adjustment. When investments in foreign operating institutions are under equity method, the exchange differences, which are accounted under equity as cumulative translation adjustment, are determined by the translation of the financial statement of foreign currency into domestic currency. The adjustments will be incorporated into the profit or loss when the foreign operating institution is sold out or under liquidation. (J) Investment property The investment property possessed by the Company and its subsidiaries is the property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both. Investment property includes office buildings and lands rented in a form of operating lease. -267- (English Translation of Financial Report Originally Issued in Chinese) JIHSUN FINANCIAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D) Properties held by the Company’s subsidiary, JihSun International Commercial Bank Co., Ltd. are all in compliance with Article 75 of “The Banking Act of the Republic of China”. Properties are classified as investment property if it is held to earn rentals or for appreciation (or both), each floor’s property right is separate and the entire floor is rented or the owner occupies less than 5% of the floor. Investment properties also include buildings and land held under an operating lease and are treated in accordance with IAS 40. Part of properties held by the Company’s subsidiary, JihSun Securities Co., Ltd. may be for operation and the remaining is used to generate rental income or capital appreciation. If the property held by JihSun Securities Co., Ltd. can be sold individually, it should be recognized separately. Property for self-use is following IFRS 16 endorsed by FSC, and the property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both is recognized as investment property which is in accordance with IFRS 40 endorsed by FSC. If each part of the property cannot be sold individually and the self-use proportion is not material, then the entire property is regarded as investment property. The fair value of investment property is evaluated by the Appraisal Department of the Company’s subsidiary, JihSun International Commercial Bank Co., Ltd. every year. Cost model is used for the initial recognition and the subsequent measurement of the Company and its subsidiaries’ investment property. Depreciation is based on the cost of the asset minus its residual value and is calculated by using the straight-line method during its estimated useful lives. If the useful life of a component of the assets is different from the other components of the asset, its depreciation is recognized separately. Depreciation is recognized in profit or loss. Land is not affected by depreciation. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Main part of the buildings 10-55 years Attachment of the buildings 5 years The replacement cost should be recognized in the book value of the investment property, given that the criteria of recognition can be met and the book value of the replaced items should be derecognized. The maintenance cost shall be recognized as “Other general and administrative expenses” when incurred. (K) Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are recognized after deducting any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses from historical cost. The historical cost includes any costs directly attributable to acquire the assets. -268- (English Translation of Financial Report Originally Issued in Chinese) JIHSUN FINANCIAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D) Subsequent expenditure of property, plant and equipment shall be recognized as an asset or be included in the book value of assets, when, and only when it is probable that the future economic benefits that are associated with property, plant and equipment will flow to the Company and its subsidiaries, and the cost of property, plant and equipment can be measured reliably. The book value of those parts that are replaced is derecognized. The maintenance expense shall be recognized as “Other general and administrative expenses” when incurred. (a) Depreciation Depreciation is determined after deducting its residual amount, and it shall be allocated on a systematic basis over its useful life. Items of property, plant and equipment with the same useful life may be grouped in determining the depreciation charge. The remainder of the items may be depreciated separately. The depreciation charge for each period shall be recognized in profit or loss. Land is not affected by depreciation, but other property, plant and equipment are depreciated to their residual values using straight-line method during their useful life. If property, plant and equipment are still usable after their original estimated useful life, the estimated residual amount may still be depreciated over their acceptable useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Main part of the building 10-55 years Attachment of the building 5 years Miscellaneous equipment 3-10 years Leasehold improvement 3-15 years Decommissioning costs: in accordance with the period of lease contract. (b) Gain or loss The gain or loss arising from the disposition of an item of property, plant and equipment is as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item, shall be recognized as “Other non-interest incomes (losses)” in the statements of comprehensive income. (c) Reclassification to investment property The property is reclassified to investment property at its book value when the use of the property changes from owner-occupied to investment property. -269- (English Translation of Financial Report Originally Issued in Chinese) JIHSUN FINANCIAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D) (L) Lease In compliance with the International Accounting Standard 17, all leases contract are classified as operating leases. Lease receivables and payables are recognized by using a straight-line basis, and accounted as “Other non-interest incomes (losses)” and “Other general and administrative expenses”, respectively. (M) Intangible assets Intangible assets include computer software and goodwill. The straight-line method can be used to amortize the computer software over its useful life, and the expected maximum useful life is five years. The goodwill shall be recognized as the amount of the consideration transferred excess of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired. The amount of goodwill which derived from the business combination does not need to be amortized. Goodwill is tested for impairment periodically each year. An impairment loss is recognized when the recoverable amount is less than the book value. Impairment losses cannot be reversed once an impairment loss has been recognized. (N) Customer margin deposit and futures dealer equity (a) Customer margin deposit The difference between margins and premiums duly collected from a futures trader by an FCM in the course of futures brokerage business. (b) Futures dealer equity Futures dealer equity refers to the difference between margins and premiums deposited by futures dealer and the corresponding settlement fair value and it is accounted under current liabilities of the balance sheet. The amount can’t be offset unless it belongs to the same category account of same customer. When a debit balance arises on Futures trader’s equity, it shall be accounted for as futures exchange margins receivable. (O) Provisions The Company recognizes the provision under the circumstances below: (a) An entity has a present obligation, legal or constructive, as a result of a past event; (b) It is probable that an outflow of economic benefits resources will be required to settle the obligation; and (c) The amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. -270- (English Translation of Financial Report Originally Issued in Chinese) JIHSUN FINANCIAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D) The amount recognized as a provision should be the estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The individual provisions of the Company and its subsidiaries are the best estimates of the individual results. (P) Revenue recognition (a) Interest income and expense The interest income and expense of the Company and its subsidiaries are recognized on an accrual basis. The interest income from loans of the Company’s subsidiary, JihSun International Commercial Bank Co., Ltd. is evaluated by the amortized cost under effective interest rate method and also refers to the Materiality Principle of Banking Industry- Adjusting the Recognition of Interest Income from Agreed Interest Method to Effective Interest Rate Method (“the Materiality Principle”) drafted by the Bankers Association of the Republic of China. According to the Materiality Principle, loans and receivables should be adjusted from agreed interest method to effective interest method when the credit periods are specific and over one year, and when one of the following criteria is met: (1) The agreed interest rate of loans and receivables is zero. (2) Loans and receivables with stepped interest are still at the step-phase. (3) The non-service fees income of a single loan or receivable is over 1% of the loan facility. Loans and receivables meeting aforesaid criteria should be calculated by the difference between interest under agreed interest method and interest under effective interest method by products. The difference is significant when the difference exceeds 5% of the sum of interest revenue and service fees income for the reporting period of the Bank and these loans and receivables should be adjusted into effective interest method to calculate interest income on the reporting date. The Company’s subsidiary, JihSun Securities Co., Ltd., recognized interest revenue and interest expense on margin loans and short sales of securities and bonds purchased under resale agreements, bonds sold under repurchase agreements respectively over the loan period, short selling period and trading period on an accrual basis. -271- (English Translation of Financial Report Originally Issued in Chinese) JIHSUN FINANCIAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D) (b) Service fees income and commissions income Service fees income and commissions income of the Company’s subsidiary, JihSun International Commercial Bank Co., Ltd. are recognized on an accrual basis when the service is provided. Loan commitment fees received in advance of highly probable loan agreement is considered to be the returns of such financial instruments. Such loan commitment fees and related transaction costs should be deferred and the effective interest rate should be adjusted. For the syndicated loan, in which the Bank does not keep any loan proportion (or which the Bank keeps some loan proportion has the same effective interest rate as other banks participating under similar risks), the fees received will be recognized as revenue when the loan process is completed. The services fee charged by the Bank which acts as coordinator is recognized as revenue when the transaction is completed. The investment management service fees charged should be recognized as revenue when the service is provided. The same service fee recognition principle is applicable to wealth management, financial consultant services and custody services. If the service fees income is linked to the performance, revenue is recognized when the performance is achieved. Brokerage fee income and other related expenses of the Company’s subsidiary, JihSun Securities Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries are recognized at the date of securities transaction. (c) Consulting and financial advisory service income, revenue and expenses from underwriting businesses, revenue from providing agency service for stock affairs, future commission income are recognized in accordance with related agreements on accrual basis. (d) Futures and options transaction income: The premium of transactions is recognized at cost. Daily evaluation under market value, contract gain or loss through reversing trade and transaction income or loss arising from settlement are recognized in profit or loss of current period. Proprietary handling fee expenses are recognized at the date of the transaction. (e) Dividend revenue: Dividend revenue is recognized when the Company and its subsidiaries have the right to retrieve the dividend. (Q) Financial asset impairment (a) Financial assets carried at amortized cost (including loans and receivables) For the securities and futures industries, the allowance for bad debts should account for assessed impaired amounts in consideration of the ending balance of notes receivable and accounts receivable in compliance with IAS 39. -272- (English Translation of Financial Report Originally Issued in Chinese) JIHSUN FINANCIAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D) The Company’s subsidiary, JihSun International Commercial Bank Co., Ltd. should identify on every reporting day if there exists any objective evidence for impairment loss. If material impairment indicator on a single financial asset is revealed, the impairment loss is evaluated individually; if there is non-material impairment indicator on single financial assets either respectively or collectively, the impairment loss is evaluated by portfolio method. If an evaluated single financial asset does not show any objective evidence for impairment loss, it should be organized into a financial asset category in which the financial assets have similar credit risk characteristics, and evaluate if there is impairment loss existing in this set of asset. Financial assets of which the individual impairment loss has been recognized or the impairment loss has been continuingly recognized do not require reevaluating impairment loss by portfolio method. If objective evidences for impairment loss exist, the difference between the book value of financial assets and the present value of estimated future cash flow discounted by effective interest rate should be recognized as impairment loss. When impairment loss happens, the book value of financial assets is reduced by the allowance account, and recognized under the account ''Bad debt expenses and guarantee reserve''. In calculating impairment amount, estimated future cash flows include the recoverable amount of collaterals and related insurances. If the amount of impairment loss reduces in the following period, and that reduction is obviously related to the events which happen after the impairment loss is recognized, the previous recognized impairment loss on financial assets will be reversed. The reversal should not make the book value of financial assets to be higher than the amortized cost when the impairment loss is not recognized. The aforesaid objective evidence includes: (1) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor; (2) A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; (3) The lender considered the economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, and granted the borrower a concession; (4) It is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; (5) The financial assets cannot be traded in an active market because of the financial difficulties of issuers; (6) The payment status of the borrower became worse and worse; (7) Changes in national or local economic conditions correlate with defaults on the assets. -273- (English Translation of Financial Report Originally Issued in Chinese) JIHSUN FINANCIAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D) Overdue loans and non-accrual loans which have been actively demanded for repayment and meet one of the following situations can be written off after reducing the retrievable parts. (1) Part of or all of the claims cannot be retrieved because the borrowers are declared dismissed, fled, reconciled, bankrupt or any other reason. (2) The appraised value of collaterals and the properties of the main- and sub- borrowers is low; no compensation will be received after reduces the amount attributed to priority hypothec; the execution expenses is close to or over the compensation that the Bank will receive, which is no benefit in execution. (3) Collaterals and the properties of the main- and sub- borrowers could not be sold out at auction for many times and the Bank could not have any benefit from foreclosure. (4) Overdue loans, which is over the settlement period for two years and have been actively demanded for repayment, still cannot be retrieved. The credit card receivables, of which the lowest monthly payments are not paid over the assigned payment duration for six months, should be written off in three months (after that six months exceeding payment duration). The evaluation process mentioned above also refers to Financial Supervisory Commission R.O.C, Regulations Governing the Procedures for Banking Institutions to Evaluate Assets and Deal with Non-performing / Non-accrual Loans, and the Rules Governing the Procedures for Banking Institutions to Evaluate Assets and Deal with Nonperforming/ Non-accrual Loans of the Company’s subsidiary, JihSun International Commercial Bank Co., Ltd. The minimum loan loss provision and guarantee reserve shall be the sum of 1% of the outstanding balance of Category One credit asset's claim (excluding assets that represent claims against the central and local government in Taiwan), 2% of the balance of Category Two credit assets, 10% of the balance of Category Three credit assets, 50% of the balance of Category Four credit assets, and the full balance of Category Five credit assets., compare with the loss provision calculated following IAS 39, the higher amount is considered as the basis of loss provision. (b) Available-for-sale financial assets When the reduction in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income and there is objective evidences that show the assets are impaired, even if the financial asset had not been derecognized, the accumulated revaluation losses recognized in other comprehensive income shall be reclassified to profit or loss. -274- (English Translation of Financial Report Originally Issued in Chinese) JIHSUN FINANCIAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D) The impairment losses of equity instruments classified as available for sale assets can’t be reversed in profit or loss, and any subsequent increase in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of debt instruments classified as available for sale assets increases and the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed and recognized in current period profit or loss. (c) Financial assets carried at cost If there is objective evidence that financial assets carried at cost are impaired, the impairment amount of the assets is recognized in account “impairment loss on assets”. However, the impairment losses should not be reversed. (R) Non-financial asset impairment In compliance with IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”, at each balance sheet date, the recoverable amount of non-financial asset is estimated and compared with the carrying amount whenever there is an indication that the non-financial asset may be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized in account “impairment loss on assets” when the recoverable amount, higher of fair market value or value in use, is less than the carrying amount. For assets other than goodwill, reversal of impairment loss is recognized when the recoverable amount of the asset has increased from its prior-period estimation. The carrying amount after the reversal shall not exceed the recoverable amount or the depreciated or amortized balance of the assets assuming no impairment loss was recognized in prior periods. Goodwill shall be tested for impairment annually regardless whether there are signs of impairment or not. The impairment losses of goodwill cannot be reversed. (S) Valuation method of foreclosed collaterals Foreclosed collaterals are stated at realizable value, and the difference between it and the nominal value of the original claim is reflected as bad debt loss. On the balance sheet date, if the foreclosed collaterals are still unsold, the realizable value shall be reassessed. If there is sufficient evidence indicating that the net fair market value is lower than the carrying amount of foreclosed collaterals, the difference after reassessment is recognized as “impairment loss on assets” in current period loss. (T) Income taxes Income tax expenses include both 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 shall be recognized in profit or loss. Current taxes include tax payables and tax deduction receivables on taxable gains (losses) for the year calculated using the statutory tax rate on the reporting date or the actual legislative tax rate, as well as tax adjustments related to prior years. -275- (English Translation of Financial Report Originally Issued in Chinese) JIHSUN FINANCIAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D) 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 shall not be recognized for the situations as follows: (a) 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) during the transaction. (b) Temporary differences arising from equity investments in subsidiaries or joint ventures where there is a high probability that such temporary differences will not be reversed. (c) Initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax assets and liabilities shall be measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities may be offset against each other if the following criteria are met: (a) The entity has the legal right to settle current tax assets and current tax liabilities on a net basis; and (b) The deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either: (1) Levied by the same taxing authority; or (2) Levied by different taxing authorities, but where each such authority intends to settle current tax assets and current tax liabilities (where such amounts are significant) on a net basis every year of the period of expected asset realization or debt liquidation, or where the timing of asset realization and debt liquidation is matched. A deferred tax asset should be 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 profit will be available against which the unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences shall also be reevaluated every year on the financial reporting date, and adjusted to reduce the related tax benefit when the unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences are not probable to be utilized. After adopting the imputation tax method in 1998, 10 % surtax on undistributed earnings is levied as current income tax expense in the year that the stockholder’s meeting declaring the distribution of earnings. -276- (English Translation of Financial Report Originally Issued in Chinese) JIHSUN FINANCIAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D) Furthermore, for the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company and its Subsidiaries, “JihSun Securities Co., Ltd.”, “JihSun International Commercial Bank Co., Ltd.” and JihSun International Property Insurance Agency Co., Ltd. adopted the jointly tax filing return principle to file the annual income tax return and make tax payment. In accordance with Interpretation (92) No.240 issued by the Accounting Research and Development Foundation on October 3, 2003, the accrued receivable and payable between the parent company and subsidiaries are allocated reasonably and consistently to individual companies. Other subsidiaries, except for JihSun International Commercial Bank Co., Ltd., JihSun Securities Co., Ltd. and JihSun International Property Insurance Agency Co., Ltd. are filing income tax report separately. (U) Employee benefit (a) Post - employment benefits (1) Defined contribution plan The Labor Pension Act of R.O.C. (“the Act”), effective from July 1, 2005, adopts a defined contribution pension plan. In accordance with the Act, employees who were hired before July 1, 2005 may elect to be subject to either the Act and maintain their seniority before the enforcement of the Act, or the pension mechanism of the Labor Standards Law. Employees who were hired after July 1, 2005, are required to be covered by the pension plan as defined by the Act. For employees subject to this Act, the Company is required to make monthly cash contributions to the employees’ individual pension accounts at the rate of not less than 6% of the employees’ monthly wages and deposit the contribution in a personal retirement benefit account at Council of Labor Affairs. Defined contribution plan of oversea subsidiaries are in accordance with the national law of the host country. (2) Defined benefit plan A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which benefit is paid to an employee on the basis of their ages, year of experience, seniority and compensated salaries. The Company recognizes pension asset or liability in balance sheet as the net amount of actuarial present value of defined benefit obligation, less fair value of plan assets. The calculation of defined benefit obligation is performed annually by an actuary using the projected unit credit method. The actuarial present value of defined benefit obligation is calculated by discounting future cash flow at the yield rate of high-quality corporate bond or government bond, that have maturity dates approximating the term of the obligation and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid. The Company recognizes actuarial gains and losses which are incurred by the change of actual -277- (English Translation of Financial Report Originally Issued in Chinese) JIHSUN FINANCIAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D) experience and actuarial assumption in other comprehensive income. The past service costs which are due to the modification of retirement plan are currently recognized as personnel expenses in profit or loss. (b) Short-term employee benefitΚ The Company charges the short-term and non-discounted benefit expectedly paid in near future to current expenses over the periods services are rendered by employees. (c) Preferential savings rate for employee The Company’s subsidiary, JihSun International Commercial Bank Co., Ltd. offers current staffs a fixed amount of preferential savings rate. The difference between the preferential savings rates and the market rates is the scope of employee benefits. According to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Publicly Held Banks, the interest paid for preferential savings rate plan is recorded monthly under accrual basis. The difference between the preferential savings rates and the market rates is recognized under "employee benefit expenses". (V) Earnings (losses) per common shares EPS is calculated as dividing current consolidated net profit or loss decreased by preferred stock dividends, by the weighted- average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted EPS assumed that all potential shares with diluted influence are outstanding during the current period. Therefore, both the net income and the number of outstanding shares during the current period should all be adjusted to the influence on potentially dilutive shares. In the event of capital decrease, the number of shares outstanding is decreasing. On the other hand, in the event of capitalization of retained earnings or capital surplus, or the new shares that the meeting of the shareholders, for the year ended December 31, 2008, resolved to distribute to the employees as bonuses, the number of shares outstanding is increasing. Both of the shares are retroactively adjusted. If the base date for capital reduction or capitalization of earnings or capital surplus is before the reporting date, the computation of common shares outstanding is also retroactively adjusted. (W) Financial guarantee contracts A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. The Company and its subsidiaries recognize financial guarantee liabilities initially at their fair value at the date of providing guarantee. The Company and its subsidiaries receive commission income with non-arm’s-length transaction at contract date; this is, the income could represent the fair value of financial guarantee contract. The advanced service fee is recognized as deferred item and amortized by straight-line method over the contract period of the financial guarantee. -278- (English Translation of Financial Report Originally Issued in Chinese) JIHSUN FINANCIAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D) After initial recognition, the Company and its subsidiaries measure a financial guarantee contract at the higher of the amount determined in accordance with IAS 37” Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets “, and the amount initially recognized less, when appropriate, cumulative service fee recognized in accordance with IAS 18” Revenue”. The aforesaid estimations are based on the experiences of trading, the database of historical losses, and the management’s judgments. The amount of increased liability from the financial guarantee contracts shall be recognized as “Provisions for bad debt expenses and guarantee reserve”. (X) Equity The new issued capital shall be attributed as incremental cost and the net amount of cost after deducting the related income tax expense being excluded from the equity. Stock dividends of common stock are recognized in the year which the Company and its subsidiaries’ shareholders' meeting approved. (Y) Material commitments and contingency The Company and its subsidiaries recognize loss when it is highly probable that a loss will incur and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, while the Company discloses the information in the notes when it is reasonably potential that a loss will incur or cannot be reasonably estimated. (Z) Operating segments An operating segment is a component of the Company and its subsidiaries that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses. The segment’s operating results are reviewed regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions pertaining to the allocation of the resources to the segment and to assess its performance. The operational performance and resource allocation plan are approved by the board of directors of each subsidiary and executed by relevant departments. The chief operating decision maker of the subsidiaries is their respective board of directors. The Company provides financial information to the senior management on a monthly basis and consolidated financial information on a quarterly basis to the board of directors for reviewing. 5. Primary Sources of Significant Accounting Judgments, and Uncertainty of Estimates and Assumptions The consolidated financial statements are influenced by accounting policies, assumptions and estimates. When preparing the financial statements, the management needs to make appropriate professional judgments, estimates and assumptions, and will affect the adoption of accounting policies, reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Actual results could differ from these estimates. -279- (English Translation of Financial Report Originally Issued in Chinese) JIHSUN FINANCIAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D) Management continued to monitor the accounting assumptions, estimates and judgments. Management recognized the changes in the accounting estimates during the period and the impact of the changes in the accounting estimates in the next period. (A) Critical judgments in applying accounting policies Other than the determination of estimates (please refer to Note 5(B) as shown below), other significant judgment made by the management of the Company and its subsidiaries when determining a recognized amount in the financial report under the application of the accounting policies of the Company and its subsidiaries is as follows: Financial assets classification The Company and its subsidiaries’ management should define the classification of financial assets. Different classification of financial assets would impact the accounting methods, financial position and operating performance of the consolidated companies. (B) Major sources of uncertainty for assumptions and estimation The Company and its subsidiaries have made proper assumptions and estimations toward book value of assets and liabilities which may have significant risk due to significant adjustments in the next fiscal year. The Company and its subsidiaries’ assumption and estimation are made by following IFRS as accepted by FSC, and are considered as the best estimation. Estimation and assumption are made based on the past experience and other factors, encompassing the expectation for the future period, and are evaluated continuously. The following information is the major sources of uncertainty for assumptions and estimation which may result in adjusting book value of assets or liabilities in the next fiscal year. (a) Impairment loss on loans Loans are reviewed quarterly by the Company and its subsidiaries to assess impairment. When the Company and its subsidiaries decide whether to recognize impairment loss, they mainly assess if there are any observable evidence indicating possible impairment. The evidence may include observable information indicating unfavorable changes in debtor payment status, or sovereign or local economic situation related to debt payment in arrears. When analyzing expected cash flow, the estimates by the management are based on past losses experience on assets of similar credit risk characteristics. The Company and its subsidiaries periodically review methods and assumptions behind the amount and schedule of expected cash flow, to reduce the difference between expected loss and actual loss. -280- (English Translation of Financial Report Originally Issued in Chinese) JIHSUN FINANCIAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D) (b) Fair value of financial instruments A valuation method is used for determination of financial instrument’s fair value which is without active market or without quotation in an active market. Under this situation, the valuation of fair value is based on the observation of similar financial instruments with observable information. If no quotation can be referred to, fair value of a financial instrument would be determined under proper assumptions. When valuation model is applied for the determination of fair value, all models should be aligned in order to ensure that the outcome reflects actual information and market price. Observable information is applied mostly in models; however, certain items, such as credit risk (the risk bears by the Company and its subsidiaries itself and the counterparty) should rely on the management’s estimation toward fluctuation and correlation. Please refer to Note 6(AP) for information on financial instruments sensitivity analyses. (c) Income tax Income tax liabilities resulting from taxation issues which are recognized additionally by the Company and its subsidiaries are cautiously evaluated in consideration of its subsequent development. Income tax expense and current income tax liabilities will be affected if there is a difference between the final taxation of such transaction and calculations and the amounts initially recognized. Please refer to Note 6(AC) for information about the evaluation of deferred tax items. (d) Post-employment benefits The present value of post-employment benefits obligation is based on actuarial results of multiple assumptions. Any assumption changes will affect the carrying amount of postemployment benefits obligation. 6.

Since these instruments have short maturities or their book values are similar to the future receivable/payable amounts, the book value is adopted as a reasonable basis in estimating the fair value. The method is applied to cash and cash equivalents, due from the Central Bank and call loans to banks, securities purchased under resell agreements, receivables, restricted assets, other financial assets(except for financial assets carried at cost), operating guarantee deposits, clearing and settlement fund, refundable deposits (listed in other assets), deposits from the Central Bank and banks, securities sold under repurchase agreements, commercial paper issued, payables, security lending and refundable deposits received (listed in other liabilities). -316- (English Translation of Financial Report Originally Issued in Chinese) JIHSUN FINANCIAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D) (2) If there is a quoted price in an active market for the financial asset, including financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss, available for sale financial assets and held-to-maturity financial assets, and non-derivative financial instruments, the quoted price is regarded as its fair value. Financial instruments with public market prices (except for stocks and depositary receipt) such as government bonds use the latest trade price or reference theory price under OTC European Breakdown Tyre System as fair value. Foreign currency bonds use latest trade price as fair value. If there is no quoted price in an active market for the financial asset, its fair value is estimated on the basis of the result of a valuation technique that refers to quoted prices provided by financial institutions. The information is available for the Company and its subsidiary. Financial derivative instruments with active market price use market value as fair value. Futures use settlement price as fair value. Foreign exchange trading uses average closing price as fair value. When there is no active market price, valuation model is mainly adopted in evaluation. Financial derivative instrumentsņ non-option use discounted cash flow; financial derivative instrumentsņ options mainly use Blackņ Scholes Model in evaluation. (3) Loan discounted (including Non-accrual loans): The interest rate that the Bank uses in loans is basically based on floating rate, which can reflect the market rate. Therefore, it is reasonable to use its book value to evaluate the expected retrieve possibility. (4) Deposits: Considering the nature of banking industry, the decision maker of market interest rate (also refer to as market price), and most of the deposit transaction mature in one year, its book value is considered to be a reasonable basis in evaluating fair value. Among deposits, the fair value of long-term deposits with fixed interest rate should be evaluated by using discounted cash flow projections, and the longest maturity date is not more than 3 years from now. Therefore, it should be reasonable to evaluate its fair value with book value. (5) The fair value of bonds payable and other borrowings are evaluated based on the present value of expected future cash flows. The discount rate is based on rates of equivalent long-term borrowings available elsewhere; that is, long-term borrowings with similar maturity date and terms. (6) Other financial assets-financial assets at cost: Other financial assets-financial assets at cost belong to private equities. Because there is no active market price and the variation interval of its estimated fair value is material, or the possibility of the estimations in the variation interval cannot be reasonably estimated, the book value is used as the fair value. (7) Other financial liabilities, including interest bearing appropriated loan funds, principal received on structured instruments and interest bearing financial liabilities: These kinds of liabilities’ book value are current price so that book value should be the reasonable basis in evaluating these liabilities’ fair value. -317- (English Translation of Financial Report Originally Issued in Chinese) JIHSUN FINANCIAL HOLDING CO., LTD.

The definition of active market has all of the following conditions: (1) the products traded in the market are homogeneous, (2) willing parties are available anytime in the market, and (3) price information is available for the public. Note2: Fair value measurement for a financial instrument classified in Level 2 is determined as the observable price other than quoted price in an active market including an observable input obtained in an active market, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices). The examples of observable price are as follows: 1. The quoted price for an identical financial instrument in an active market means the fair value from the market transaction prices for an identical financial instrument. An identical financial instrument should be determined by its characteristics and terms of transaction. The fair value of a financial instrument has to be adjusted according to the observable market price of the identical financial instrument. The reasons for adjustments include time lag of the occurring market transaction prices for an identical financial instrument (the quoted prices do not represent fair value at the measurement date), the difference in transaction terms for financial instruments, transaction prices involving related parties, and the correlation between the observable transaction prices of identical financial instruments and the market prices of held financial instruments. 2. The quoted market price of the same or identical financial instruments in an inactive market. -320- (English Translation of Financial Report Originally Issued in Chinese) JIHSUN FINANCIAL HOLDING CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D) 3. The fair value is estimated on the basis of the results of a valuation technique, and the market inputs used (i.e., interest rate, yield curve, and fluctuation rate) are based on obtainable data from the market (an observable input means an input can be derived from market data and can reflect the expectation of market participants when the inputs were used in evaluating the prices of financial instruments). 4. A majority of inputs are derived from observable market data, or the input correlation can be tested based on observable market data. Note 3: Input for a fair value measurement for a financial instrument classified in Level 3 is not based on obtainable data from the market (an unobservable input, such as volatility for a share option derived from the share’s historical prices, as it does not generally represent current market expectations about future volatility).

(the Bank) updates market data on a daily basis. Exponentially-weighted moving average (EWMA) is applied to compute volatility (Decay Factor =0.94) based on the market price range for the past year. Additionally, correlation of different market risk factor is considered and assumption of price changed of risk factor follow certain pattern is made. With an assistance of a computer, simulation of possible price path is identified. The Bank uses the simulation as the basis of investment portfolio’s profit allocation. Monte Carlo simulations may be applied to compute Value at Risk of 99% confidence interval. Variance-covariance matrices or Historical simulations can also be applied. Furthermore, the Bank would exercise back testing to evaluate the appropriateness of Value at Risk model on a daily basis.

Significant Commitments and Contingents (A) Significant contractǺ An advisory company had informed and requested the Company to pay for the consultancy fees in 2009. In accordance with the Company’s internal evaluations and the opinions from the appointed lawyer, the Company could use three reasons to defend its position. One reason was that the consultancy agreement did not complete the legal procedure within the Company. Another was that the case of capital increase did not include in the range of the consultancy agreement. Therefore, the Company thought that it was not necessary to estimate and pay for the requested amount. (B) Significant lawsuit (a) Three customers of the Tai-Chung Branch of JihSun Securities Co., Ltd. alleged that a former employee at the Tai-Chung Branch had sold their stock without their permission, and stolen their bank savings. Therefore, the client requested JihSun Securities Co., Ltd. to be responsible jointly and claimed $82,431 with interest (the amount decreased to $72,899 in the lawsuit). As of December 31, 2009, Taichung District Court had judged that JihSun Securities Co., Ltd. and the former employee were jointly liable for the three plaintiffs amounting $33,968 with statutory interest of 5% from October 21, 2003. During the lawsuit, JihSun Securities Co., Ltd. had already reconciled with one of the customers and the remaining part had been denied by Taiwan High Court Tai-Chung Branch on August 9, 2011, and JihSun Securities Co., Ltd. had appealed to Supreme Court on September 1, 2011. The Supreme Court on October 24, 2012 abandoned the original judgment. JihSun Securities Co., Ltd. had already reconciled with the remaining two customers and paid $12,800 to them on May 14, 2014. (b) In July, 2011, the customer of Yong-Kang Branch of JihSun Securities Co., Ltd. alleged that he had suffered losses because an employee manipulated illegally his stocks and futures and requested JihSun Securities Co., Ltd. to be responsible jointly and claimed for $13,000. The Taiwan Tainan District Court has ruled in favor of JihSun Securities Co., Ltd. The plaintiff disagreed with the adjudication made and filed an appeal with Taiwan High Court Tainan Branch Court, which is currently still in process. JihSun Securities Co., Ltd. determined the lawsuit to be the private dispute between the client and the operating manager. Thus, no additional compensation liability resides in JihSun Securities Co., Ltd. and no accrual shall be booked. -370- (English Translation of Financial Report Originally Issued in Chinese) JIHSUN FINANCIAL HOLDING CO., LTD.
