Operating Report for 2014 (1)Domestic and overseas financial and economic conditions in 2014 In 2014, the U.S. economy proved reasonably robust, Europe headed for a moderate recovery, and China and other emerging economies also stayed on growth track. Global demand picked up, and there was a continual update of mobile devices. Taiwan’s electronics exports thus sustained a boost, with outbound shipments to Europe and the U.S. growing 7.1% and 3.5% respectively from a year earlier and reversing the downward trend of the previous two years. Taiwan’s total exports and imports rose 2.7% and 1.6% respectively in 2014, generating a record trade surplus of US$39.6 billion. Stabilization in external trade helped drive a recovery on the domestic side. In 2014, Taiwan’s stock market witnessed more active trading as business prospects brightened. This optimism was reflected in expanded investment and a generally more proactive approach toward increasing both jobs and wages. The 2014 unemployment rate of 3.96% was a seven-year low. Improved employment helped foster private consumption. Driven both domestically and externally, Taiwan scored a year-on-year improvement in GDP growth to 3.74% in 2014. 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 003 HONESTY ● EFFICIENCY ● ACTIVENESS ● RESPONSIBILITY ● TEAMWORK In 2014, Taiwan’s central bank kept its benchmark discount rate on hold as the local economy recovered only moderately and inflation was largely kept in check. On the currency market, economic strengthening and equity gains had pushed the Taiwan dollar from 30.7 against the greenback at the beginning of the year to 29.8 by August. But things started to change from September. The greenback strengthened as markets were increasingly braced for interest rates starting to rise in the U.S. Coupled with the Bank of Japan’s further monetary easing, the yen staged another round of depreciation, in turn forcing other Asian currencies to follow suit. The Taiwan dollar was no exception and closed the year at 31.718 against the greenback. On average, the local currency traded at 30.33 in 2014, compared with 29.77 in 2013. (2)Overview of organizational changes As far as its organizational structure is concerned, the Bank had four major business groups as of the end of 2014: 1) Corporate Banking Group, which comprises the Corporate Banking Department and International Banking Department; 2) Consumer Banking Group, which includes the Consumer Banking Department, Trust Department and Wealth Management Department; 3) Financial Markets Group, which includes the Financial Trading Department and Treasury Marketing Department; and 4) Business Management Group, which comprises the Business Management Department, Electronic Banking Department and Customer Service Department. Hua Nan’s headquarters maintains three back-end management groups: 1) Risk Management Group, which comprises the Risk Management Department, Credit Checking & Industrial/Economic Research Department, Overdue Loan Management Department, Corporate Credit Department and Consumer Credit Department; 2) Information Technology Group, which includes the IT Planning & Development Department and IT Operations & Service Department; and 3) General Administration Group, which comprises the General Administration Department, Finance & Accounting Department, Human Resources Department, Planning Department and Legal Affairs Department as well as five Channel Management Centers.

Summary of Business Plan for 2015 In 2015, the Bank aims to continue its bid for doubling wealth management and credit card revenues in three years, thereby boosting non-interest income and earnings capacity. Emphasis will also be placed on optimizing the Bank’s asset-liability mix to widen the interest spread and increase net interest income, as well as on setting up more outlets in China and strengthening cross-strait financial services. Given the advent of an increasingly digitized banking market and a fast-aging population, the Bank is also ready to capitalize on emerging opportunities by integrating the development and marketing of innovative products. 3. Development Strategies for the Future (1)Diversify earnings sources and enhance the weighting of non-interest income, thereby boosting earnings capacity. (2)Further optimize the Bank’s asset-liability mix to widen the interest spread and increase net interest income. (3)Build a well-rounded presence in the Asia Pacific by making inroads into the Greater China market. (4)Capitalize on trends and opportunities presenting themselves in financial markets; strengthen innovation of financial products and services. (5)Improve the Bank’s operational structure and consolidate its foundation for future growth. 4. Impact of the Macroeconomic, Regulatory and Competitive Environments (1)The Macroeconomic and Competitive Environments In 2015, solid U.S. growth and still weak crude oil prices are expected to help fuel a continued recovery of the global economy, in turn giving a boost to Taiwan’s exports. On February 16, 2015, the Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics (DGBAS) forecast that the Taiwan economy should be able to expand 3.78% this year. Yet, cross-strait economic and trade relations have become increasingly competitive as China has sought to foster self-sufficient supply chains in recent years. What’s worse, the Fed’s anticipated start of a fresh rate hike cycle does not bode well for ASEAN countries, a market that accounts for 20% of Taiwan’s exports. On the other hand, international financial markets are likely to experience heightened volatility due to the monetary policy divergence among the U.S., Europe, Japan, and China. Fortunately, Taiwan has long hoarded abundant foreign exchange reserves, kept up a favorable current account balance, and maintained relatively stable interest and exchange rates. Moreover, Taiwan has not attracted as massive capital inflows, relatively speaking, as most other emerging economies. Combined, these should contribute to the stability of local stock and currency 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 009 HONESTY ● EFFICIENCY ● ACTIVENESS ● RESPONSIBILITY ● TEAMWORK markets. All in all, Taiwan’s banking industry needs to retain a prudent approach toward assessing the macroeconomic environment of 2015. According to statistics compiled by the Financial Supervisory Commission's Banking Bureau, a total of 39 domestic banks and 30 foreign banks (including branches of Chinese banks) operated in Taiwan as of the end of September 2014. This sheer number of market participants readily translates into heated competition. Given limited earnings prospects at home, banks have no choice but to look to the Greater China market. Massive as the mainland Chinese financial services market may seem, Chinese banks tend to focus their corporate banking services on bigger companies while adopting a more conservative stance on lending to SMEs. As such, Taiwanese businesses operating on the mainland naturally need provision of funds by Taiwanese banks. What can thus be expected is a win-win situation as Taiwanese banks are accorded a new potential target of corporate financing. On the other hand, businesses are now confronted with increasing labor costs as China gradually readjusts its industrial structure. Given China’s changing investment climate, some businesses have begun relocating to Southeast Asia and other emerging economies. For their part, Taiwanese banks are also evaluating the potential of other parts of the Asia Pacific, Southeast Asia included. Of course, banks are accelerating their push into Southeast Asia mainly to diversify earnings sources. (2)The Regulatory Environment 1)Now that such laws and regulations as the Implementation Rules of Internal Audit and Internal Control System of Financial Holding Companies and Banking Industries and Directions Governing Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Terrorism Financing of Banking Sector have been amended and implemented, banks are supposed to bolster their internal control mechanisms and enforce risk management and internal control systems in accordance with the aforesaid regulations to combat money laundering and counter funding of terrorism. 2)With the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and Dodd-Frank Act now in effect, local banks must take seriously whether to adopt an accommodative stance toward taxing U.S. citizens by the American government. They also have to better regulate derivatives trading and make plans to readjust their U.S. branches accordingly. Given a major impact only to be expected, banks need to keep track of relevant developments so as to keep to a minimum their risk of noncompliance. 010 MESSAGE TO THE SHAREHOLDERS 3)Both the quantity and variety of banking operations in China are expanding by the day. There is every need to learn more about China’s laws and regulations as well as legal practices in order to control and manage the legal risk involved in promoting business there. 4)In Taiwan, other laws and regulations closely related to the banking sector, such as the Banking Act and labor-related statutes, have also been revised. Banks need to set or modify internal guidelines to ensure compliance. 5.

Yang 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 011 HONESTY ● EFFICIENCY ● ACTIVENESS ● RESPONSIBILITY ● TEAMWORK H 012 onesty HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION OF OUR BANK Hua Nan Bank was founded in 1919 with capital of 10 million yen. Founders included the prominent local entrepreneur, Mr. Lin Hsiung-cheng, and several Southeast Asian overseas Chinese investors. The founding ceremony was held on January 29, 1919 and Mr. Lin Hsiung-cheng served as Chairman. The Bank was established for the purpose of promoting both domestic and international investment, and maintained a head office in Taipei. The Bank started business in March 1919. Subsequently, the Bank set up branches in Canton, Haiphong, Saigon, Rangoon, Singapore, Tokyo and other cities throughout Asia, helping to contribute to the development of trade between Taiwan and Southeast Asia. Private banks in Taiwan ran into operational difficulties during the 1930’s Depression, and the government engineered some to merge. Thanks to the efforts of Mr. Lin Hsiung-cheng and his partners, the Bank avoided being merged. Mr. Lin Hsiung-cheng served as Chairman from 1919 to 1944. In 1944, Bank of Taiwan used its majority ownership in the bank to reassign Mr. Akekula as Chairman, and Mr. Lin Hsiung-cheng became Chairman Emeritus. Following the retrocession of Taiwan to China on October 25, 1945, Mr. Lin Hsiung-cheng, as Chairman of the Commercial Association of Taiwan, was selected as Taiwan Province representative to participate in the ceremony that reinstated the R.O.C. capital. He also carried out the important mission of seeking support from the R.O.C. authorities to ensure the continued viability of Hua Nan Commercial Bank. He passed away on November 27, 1946. On February 22, 1947, the Bank held a shareholders’ meeting, during which Mr. Liu Chi-kuang was nominated by the board to become Chairman. Upon its inception, the Bank mainly focused on business activities within Taiwan Province, serving with other banks to help finance the construction of a new Taiwan. On May 3, 1947, the Bank merged with Taiwan Trust Company, the latter becoming the Bank’s newly-formed Trust Department, and increased capital to 25 million Old Taiwan dollars to enlarge the Bank’s scope of business and build a solid capital base. By June 1948 more than 60 branches staffed with high caliber employees had been established throughout Taiwan. Hua Nan Commercial Bank thus became well-known and highly regarded as a sound and solid financial institution. In 1948 when Taiwan’s economy began to be seriously impacted by the economic slump in mainland China, the Bank revised its business focus, reducing low yield business while promoting more profitable business. During this time, the Bank again increased capital to 1 billion Old Taiwan dollars. In the period since monetary reform on June 15, 1949 through May 26, 2014, the Bank increased capital a number of times to reach the present amount of NT$67,676,000,000, positioning it as one of the soundest and largest banks in Taiwan. A large number of government-owned shares was released on January 22, 1998, enabling the Bank to complete privatization and embark upon a new era. The Bank made a reinvestment and set up HNCB Insurance Agency Co., Ltd. on January 31, 2001. In order to adapt to government financial reforms and changes in the financial environment, to achieve synergy through diversification, and to meet long-term development needs, the Bank and Entrust Securities Co. each convened extraordinary shareholders’ meetings on November 14, 2001 and passed a proposal to establish Hua Nan Financial Holdings Co., Ltd. (HNFHC) via a 100% stock conversion. Mr. Lin Ming-cheng was elected as the Chairman of the board. On December 19, 2001 HNFHC started business and its shares listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. HNFHC, with registered capital of NT $100 billion, maintains its head office in Taipei. The Bank accordingly became a subsidiary of HNFHC. For the purpose of elevating business efficiency and reducing costs, the Bank merged with Hua Nan Bills Corp. on May 23, 2008. To facilitate business diversification and presence in Greater China, the Bank set up Hua Nan International Leasing Co., Ltd. on July 13, 2012. 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 013 HONESTY ● EFFICIENCY ● ACTIVENESS ● RESPONSIBILITY ● TEAMWORK The Shareholders’ Meeting serves as the highest decision-making body of the important matters in the Bank’s organizational structure.

(2) Keep up Hua Nan’s ranking among Taiwan’s top five banks in the demand deposits sector and make sure that the Bank offers a lower average deposit interest rate than any other local bank. (3) Take the initiative to bid for contracts for handling salary transfer on behalf of various agencies; organize campaigns to attract more demand deposits, particularly those derived from salary payments and funds intended for stock investment. (4) Take full advantage of the Bank’s well-rounded network of retail outlets while promoting cross-selling of brokerage services, property insurance, and mutual funds, in turn boosting fee income. (5) Keep track of the government’s homeland planning as well as the shifting of commercial hubs in local counties and cities while undertaking operational analysis of branches; readjust the Bank’s network of outlets wherever warranted to effectively enhance operational efficiency. (6) Take a proactive approach toward forging cross-sector strategic alliances so as to increase market share in electronic banking. (7) Introduce “Bank 3.0,” or digital banking, to enhance operational efficiency and usher in a new era for financial services.

(15)Capitalize on financial deregulation across the Taiwan Strait by promoting cross-border financial services that meet customer needs. In the Pearl River Delta, the Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Macau branches have accumulated long years of experience serving Taiwanese companies. For their part, the newly launched Shanghai Branch and Fuzhou Branch are well-positioned to provide customers operating in the Yangzi River Delta and Haixi region with wellrounded financing solutions.

It will also study the viability of setting up outposts in other ASEAN countries to serve Taiwanese companies and share in their economic growth, thereby enhancing overall earnings.

(32)Continue promoting TMU (Treasury Marketing Unit) businesses—primarily hedging businesses and secondly financial operations—among larger clients that pose virtually zero risk; adopt a prudent approach toward promoting a variety of financial derivatives (such as structured products with different underlying targets available in different currencies and maturities), particularly low-interest, principal-guaranteed offerings, to meet customer needs and increase market share. 026 BUSINESS PLAN FOR 2015 R esponsibility 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 027 MARKET ANALYSIS 1. Geographic Scope of Operations Hua Nan deals in banking operations mainly in the domestic market. As of the end of 2014, it operated 186 domestic branches and one offshore banking unit. In terms of overseas operations, the Bank’s Shanghai Branch became operational in January 2015 and the Fuzhou Branch became oprational in may 2015. As such, the Bank now operates 11 overseas branches (Hong Kong, Singapore, London, New York, Los Angeles, Ho Chi Minh City, Shenzhen, Sydney, Macau, Shanghai and Fuzhou) and one subbranch (Baoan, Shenzhen) as well as one representative office (Hanoi). In the days ahead, the Bank is set to build on what has been accomplished so far as it seeks to enhance earnings and diversify revenue sources. 2. Future Supply and Demand in the Marketplace and Growth Prospects Supply Side: The sheer number of banks in Taiwan’s virtually saturated market readily translates into heated competition. Given limited earnings prospects at home, banks have no choice but to set sights abroad. Besides opening shop in Greater China, they have also made inroads into other Asia Pacific markets, such as Myanmar and other Southeast Asian countries, to expand earnings sources. On the other hand, while Taiwan’s banks are now expanding their presence on the Chinese mainland amid ongoing deregulation across the Taiwan Strait, they are also taking their lead from a growing number of Taiwanese companies that have expanded to Southeast Asia. Given the proximity of some of these new outposts, it is inevitable that Taiwanese banks will increasingly find themselves competing with one another not only at home but also abroad. Demand Side: In 2015, capital demand among businesses is expected to pick up as the world economy heads for a moderate recovery. Moreover, Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission relaxed regulations governing offshore banking unit (OBU) and offshore securities unit (OSU) operations in 2014, a move that is expected to stimulate demand for financial services at large, in particular wealth management. On the other hand, the growing popularity of online shopping points to greater demand for online cash flow services. Coupled with the prospect of mobile and thirdparty payments taking off in 2015, establishment of cross-platform cash flow management also holds great potential for the banking industry. As far as the mainland Chinese market is concerned, rapid economic growth has certainly nurtured a vast financial services market there. As Chinese banks prefer to lend to bigger companies rather than SMEs, Taiwanese businesses operating on the mainland naturally need provision of funds by Taiwanese banks. As such, Taiwanese banks are accorded a new potential target of corporate financing. On the other hand, China’s investment climate is changing in a direction unfavorable to export-oriented businesses, prompting some to relocate to Southeast Asia. But it deserves special attention that Southeast Asia incurs greater risk than the home market. For banks, it is vital to adopt a prudent approach toward overseas expansion. Above all, sound management and control is warranted for lending operations. 028 MARKET ANALYSIS 3. Competitive Niche, Positive and Negative Factors for Future Development, and Measures in Response (1) Competitive Niche 1)Hua Nan owns an extensive service network and a broad customer base throughout Taiwan. This is a great advantage for the development of various banking operations. 2)As one of Taiwan’s most established banks, Hua Nan has nurtured an exemplary corporate culture and enjoys high regard in the community. 3)The Bank is famed for sound asset quality and well-rounded risk management. 4)The Bank’s continued expansion in Greater China will facilitate its forming a comprehensive service network across the Asia Pacific and capitalizing on the region’s rapidly growing yuan market. (2) Positive Factors 1)The world economy is expected to do better in 2015 than the year before, in turn giving a boost to the Taiwanese economy. This prospect should drive corporate demand for capital and improve investor sentiment, thereby underpinning banks’ lending operations and wealth management services. 2)Given the growing popularity of such innovations as mobile and third-party payments, establishment of crossplatform cash flow management holds great potential for the banking industry. 3)The government’s recent deregulation of banks’ overseas investments and branch outlets is certainly conducive to their overseas expansion. (3) Negative Factors 1)Excessive liquidity and global easing do not bode well for interest spread expansion. 2)The government’s recent string of restrictive measures to curb the property market is hardly conducive to banks’ mortgage business. 3)Local banks’ rapidly growing risk exposure in mainland China is likely to squeeze their capacity for making further inroads into that market. 4)The lowering of the interest rate ceiling on credit and cash cards to 15% from 20% is bound to undermine banks’ interest income. (4) Measures in Response 1)To counteract excessively low lending rates, Hua Nan will formulate a more rational strategy for pricing loans while focusing on lending operations that offer a wider interest spread. 2)To prevent default risk early on, the Bank will bolster its lending policy, boost collateral, and strengthen the training of lending officers. 3)Hua Nan will continue to bolster its risk management capabilities, enhance asset quality and put capital to more efficient use. 4)With Taiwan as its home base, Hua Nan will take full advantage of the increasing financial deregulation across the Taiwan Strait as the Bank hastens its expansion in the Asia Pacific. 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 029 HONESTY ● EFFICIENCY ● ACTIVENESS ● RESPONSIBILITY ● TEAMWORK T 030 eamwork FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINANCIAL STATEMENT FIVE-YEARS FINANCIAL SUMMARY 1.IFRS In thousands of NT$ Date Item The Bankand Subsidiaries 31.12.2012 31.12.2013 The Bank 31.12.2014 31.12.2012 31.12.2013 31.12.2014 Statements of Comprehensive Income Net interest Net revenues other than interest Allowance for doubtful accounts and guarantees Operating expenses Net profit before income tax from continuing operations Net profit from continuing operations 21,804,711 22,786,504 25,023,277 21,799,337 22,767,742 24,935,934 7,848,183 8,426,082 8,972,863 7,685,512 8,146,919 8,702,793 3,251,006 3,799,503 1,627,654 3,251,006 3,793,651 1,616,311 16,224,483 16,199,284 17,722,295 16,085,063 15,953,974 17,427,180 10,177,405 11,213,799 14,646,191 10,148,780 11,167,036 14,595,236 8,723,628 9,570,913 12,434,632 8,723,628 9,570,913 12,434,632 Net profit 8,723,628 9,570,913 12,434,632 8,723,628 9,570,913 12,434,632 Other comprehensive income 1,398,080 369,704 1,377,906 1,398,080 369,704 1,377,906 Total comprehensive income 10,121,708 9,940,617 13,812,538 10,121,708 9,940,617 13,812,538 1.33 1.41 1.84 1.33 1.41 1.84 158,886,211 170,228,684 190,540,673 158,875,946 170,216,109 190,535,026 40,125,581 40,288,320 50,430,123 40,125,581 40,288,320 50,430,123 Earning per share (by NT Dollar) Balance Sheets Cash and cash equivalents, Due from the Central Bank and other banks Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Derivative financial assets for hedging Receivables, net Current tax assets -

FINANCIAL STATEMENT New, Amended and Revised Standards and Interpretations (the “New IFRSs”) Effective Date Announced by IASB (Note) Improvements to IFRSs (2009) - amendment to IAS 39 January 1, 2009 and January 1, 2010, as appropriate Amendment to IAS 39 “Embedded Derivatives” Effective for annual periods ending on or after June 30, 2009 Improvements to IFRSs (2010) July 1, 2010 and January 1, 2011, as appropriate Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2009-2011 Cycle January 1, 2013 Amendment to IFRS 1 “Limited Exemption from Comparative IFRS 7 Disclosures for First-time Adopters” July 1, 2010 Amendment to IFRS 1 “Severe Hyperinflation and Removal of Fixed Dates for First-time Adopters” July 1, 2011 Amendment to IFRS 1 “Government Loans” January 1, 2013 Amendment to IFRS 7 “Disclosure - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” January 1, 2013 IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” January 1, 2013 Amendment to IFRS 7 “Disclosure - Transfer of Financial Assets” July 1, 2011 IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements” January 1, 2013 IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities” January 1, 2013 Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12 “Consolidated Financial Statements, Joint Arrangements and Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities: Transition Guidance” January 1, 2013 Amendments to IFRS 10 and IFRS 12 and IAS 27 “Investment Entities” January 1, 2014 IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement” January 1, 2013 Amendment to IAS 1 “Presentation of Other Comprehensive Income” July 1, 2012 Amendment to IAS 12 “Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets” January 1, 2012 IAS 19 (Revised 2011) “Employee Benefits” January 1, 2013 IAS 28 (Revised 2011) “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures” January 1, 2013 Amendment to IAS 32 “Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” January 1, 2014 IFRIC 20 “Stripping Costs in Production Phase of a Surface Mine” January 1, 2013 Note:Unless stated otherwise, the above New IFRSs are effective for annual periods beginning on or after the respective effective dates. Except for the following, the initial application of the above 2013 IFRSs version and the related amendments to the Criteria Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Bank have not had any material impact on the Company and its subsidiaries’ accounting policies: 1)IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” IFRS 10 replaces IAS 27 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” and SIC 12 “Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities”. The Company and its subsidiaries consider whether it has control over other entities for consolidation. The Company and its subsidiaries have control over an investee if and only if it has i) power over the investee; ii) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and iii) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of its returns. Additional guidance has been included in IFRS 10 to explain when an investor has control over an investee. 2)IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities” IFRS 12 is a new disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structured entities. In general, the disclosure requirements in IFRS 12 are more extensive than in the current standards. 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 041 HONESTY ● EFFICIENCY ● ACTIVENESS ● RESPONSIBILITY ● TEAMWORK 3)Revision to IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures” Revised IAS 28 requires when a portion of an investment in an associate meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, that portion is classified as held for sale. Any retained portion that has not been classified as held for sale is accounted for using the equity method. Under current IAS 28, when a portion of an investment in associates meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, the entire investment is classified as held for sale and ceases to apply the equity method. 4)IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement” IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements. It defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The disclosure requirements in IFRS 13 are more extensive than those required in the current standards. For example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the three-level fair value hierarchy currently required for financial instruments only will be extended by IFRS 13 to cover all assets and liabilities within its scope. The fair value meaurements under IFRS 13 will be applied prospectively from January 1, 2015. 5)Amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income” The amendments to IAS 1 requires items of other comprehensive income to be grouped into those items that (1) will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and (2) may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss. Income taxes on related items of other comprehensive income are grouped on the same basis. Under current IAS 1, there were no such requirements. The Company and its subsidiaries will retrospectively apply the above amendments starting from 2015. Items not expected to be reclassified to profit or loss are the actuarial gain (loss) arising from defined benefit plans and share of the actuarial gains (loss) arising from defined benefit plans of associates accounted for using the equity method. Items expected to be reclassified to profit or loss are the exchange differences on translating foreign operations, unrealized valuation gains (loss) on available-for-sale financial assets, and share of the other comprehensive income (except the share of the actuarial gains (loss) arising from defined benefit plans) of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method. However, the application of the above amendments will not result in any impact on the net profit for the year, other comprehensive income for the year (net of income tax), and total comprehensive income for the year. 6)Revision to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits” Revised IAS 19 requires the recognition of changes in defined benefit obligations and in the fair value of plan assets when they occur, and hence eliminates the “corridor approach” permitted under current IAS 19 and accelerate the recognition of past service costs. The revision requires all remeasurements of the defined benefit plans to be recognized immediately through other comprehensive income in order for the net pension asset or liability to reflect the full value of the plan deficit or surplus. All actuarial gains and losses of the Company and its subsidiaries, which happened during the period, had immediately recognized in other comprehensive profit and loss. As a result, this does not cause any changes in accounting treatment after excluding “corridor approach”. Furthermore, the interest cost and expected return on plan assets used in current IAS 19 are replaced with a “net interest” amount, which is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. In addition, the revised IAS 19 introduces certain changes in the presentation of the defined benefit cost, and also includes more extensive disclosures. On initial application of the revised IAS 19 in 2015, the changes in cumulative employee benefit costs as of December 31, 2013 resulting from the retrospective application have no effect to net defined benefit assets, deferred tax assets and retained earnings. In preparing the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company and its subsidiaries would elect not to present 2014 comparative information about the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation. The anticipated impact of the initial application of the revised IAS 19 is detailed as follows: Impact on Assets, Liabilities and Equity Carrying Amount Adjustments Arising from Initial Application Adjusted Carrying Amount December 31, 2014 Deferred tax assets $ 1,826,106 $ - $ 1,826,106 Total effect on assets $ 1,826,106 $ - $ 1,826,106 042 FINANCIAL STATEMENT Impact on Assets, Liabilities and Equity Carrying Amount Adjustments Arising from Initial Application Adjusted Carrying Amount Defined benefit liabilities $ 4,815,804 $ - $ 4,815,804 Total effect on liabilities $ 4,815,804 $ - $ 4,815,804 Retained earnings $ 48,341,321 $ - $ 48,341,321 Total effect on equity $ 48,341,321 $ - $ 48,341,321 Deferred tax assets $ 2,035,220 $ - $ 2,035,220 Total effect on assets $ 2,035,220 $ - $ 2,035,220 Defined benefit liabilities $ 4,737,726 $ - $ 4,737,726 Total effect on liabilities $ 4,737,726 $ - $ 4,737,726 Retained earnings $ 45,337,234 $ - $ 45,337,234 Total effect on equity $ 45,337,234 $ - $ 45,337,234 January 1, 2014 Impact on Total Comprehensive Income Carrying Amount Adjustments Arising from Initial Application Adjusted Carrying Amount For the year ended December 31, 2014 Operating expense $ 17,722,295 $ 8 $ 17,722,303 Income tax expense $ 2,211,559 ($ 1) $ 2,211,559 Total effect on net profit for the year $ 12,434,632 ($ 7) $ 12,434,625 $ 8 ($ ($ 1) $ 52,736 Items that will not be reclassified to profit or loss: Remeasurements of the defined benefit plan ($ 310,218) Income taxes relating to items that will not be reclassified $ 52,737 Total effect on other comprehensive income for the year, net of income tax $ 1,377,906 $ 7 $ 1,377,913 Total effect on total comprehensive income for the year $ 13,812,538 - $ 13,812,538 310,210) 7)Amendments to IFRS 7 “Disclosure - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” The amendments to IFRS 7 require disclosure of information about rights of offset and related arrangements (such as collateral posting requirements) for financial instruments under enforceable master netting arrangements and similar arrangements. 8)Amendments to IAS 32 “Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” The amendments to IAS 32 clarify the requirements relating to the offset of financial assets and financial liabilities. Specifically, the amendments clarify the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off” and “simultaneous realization and settlement”. 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 043 HONESTY ● EFFICIENCY ● ACTIVENESS ● RESPONSIBILITY ● TEAMWORK 9)Recognition and measurement of financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss In accordance with the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Bank, for financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss, the amount of change in the fair value attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive income and the remaining amount of change in the fair value of that liability is presented in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability’s credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. If the above accounting treatment would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch, all gains or losses on that liability are presented in profit or loss. The Company and its subsidiaries had issued bank debentures and designated the financial liabilities as at fair value through profit or loss. Upon application of the above amendments, as of January 1, 2014, the anticipated impact is a decrease in retained earnings and an increase in other equity by $222,820. b. New IFRSs in issue but not yet endorsed by FSC The Company and its subsidiaries has not applied the following New IFRSs issued by the IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC. As of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the FSC has not announced their effective dates. New IFRSs Effective Date Announced by IASB (Note 1) Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle July 1, 2014 (Note 2) Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle July 1, 2014 Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 Cycle January 1, 2016 (Note 4) IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” January 1, 2018 Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 “Mandatory Effective Date of IFRS 9 and Transition Disclosures” January 1, 2018 Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture” January 1, 2016 (Note 3) Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 “Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception” January 1, 2016 Amendment to IFRS 11 “Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations” January 1, 2016 IFRS 14 “Regulatory Deferral Accounts” January 1, 2016 IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” January 1, 2017 Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38 “Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortization” January 1, 2016 Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 41 “Agriculture: Bearer Plants” January 1, 2016 Amendment to IAS 19 “Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions” July 1, 2014 Amendment to IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets: Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-financial Assets” January 1, 2014 Amendment to IAS 39 “Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting” January 1, 2014 IFRIC 21 “Levies” January 1, 2014 Note 1:Unless stated otherwise, the above New IFRSs are effective for annual periods beginning on or after their respective effective dates. Note 2:The amendment to IFRS 2 applies to share-based payment transactions with grant date on or after July 1, 2014; the amendment to IFRS 3 applies to business combinations with acquisition date on or after July 1, 2014; the amendment to IFRS 13 is effective immediately; the remaining amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014. Note 3:Prospectively applicable to transactions occurring in annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016. Note 4:The amendment to IFRS 5 is applied prospectively to changes in a method of disposal that occur in annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016; the remaining amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016. The initial application of the above New IFRSs has not had any material impact on Company and its subsidiaries accounting policies, except for the following: 1)IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” 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 requirement for the classification of financial assets is stated below. For the Company and its subsidiaries’ debt instruments that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, their classification and measurement are as follows: a)For debt instruments, if they are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, the financial assets are measured at amortized cost and are assessed for impairment continuously with impairment loss recognized in profit or loss, if any. Interest revenue is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective interest method; 044 FINANCIAL STATEMENT b)For debt instruments, if they are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both the collecting of contractual cash flows and the selling of financial assets, the financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) and are assessed for impairment. Interest revenue is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective interest method, and other gain or loss shall be recognized in other comprehensive income, except for impairment gains or losses and foreign exchange gains and losses. When the debt instruments are derecognized or reclassified, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss. Except for above, all other financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss. However, the Company and its subsidiaries may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally recognized in profit or loss. No subsequent impairment assessment is required, and the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income cannot be reclassified from equity to profit or loss. The impairment of financial assets IFRS 9 requires that impairment loss on financial assets is recognized by using the “Expected Credit Losses Model”. The credit loss allowance is required for financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets mandatorily measured at FVTOCI, lease receivables, contract assets arising from IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, certain written loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts. A loss allowance for the 12-month expected credit losses is required for a financial asset if its credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition. A loss allowance for full lifetime expected credit losses is required for a financial asset if its credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition and is not low. However, a loss allowance for full lifetime expected credit losses is required for trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction. For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the Company and its subsidiaries take into account the expected credit losses on initial recognition in calculating the credit-adjusted effective interest rate. Subsequently, any changes in expected losses are recognized as a loss allowance with a corresponding gain or loss recognized in profit or loss. Hedge accounting The main changes in hedge accounting amended the application requirements for hedge accounting to better reflect the entity’s risk management activities. Compared with IAS 39, the main changes include: (1) enhancing types of transactions eligible for hedge accounting, specifically broadening the risk eligible for hedge accounting of non-financial items; (2) changing the way hedging derivative instruments are accounted for to reduce profit or loss volatility; and (3) replacing retrospective effectiveness assessment with the principle of economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item. 2)Amendment to IAS 36 “Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-financial Assets” In issuing IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”, the IASB made consequential amendment 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 such disclosure of recoverable amounts is required only when an impairment loss has been recognized or reversed during the period. Furthermore, the Company and its subsidiaries are required to disclose the discount rate used in measurements of the recoverable amount based on fair value less costs of disposal measured using a present value technique. 3)Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2010-2012 Cycle Several standards including IFRS 2 “Share-based Payment”, IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” and IFRS 8 “Operating Segments” were amended in this annual improvement. The amended IFRS 2 changes the definitions of “vesting condition” and “market condition” and adds definitions for “performance condition” and “service condition”. The amendment clarifies that a performance target can be based on the operations (i.e. a non-market condition) of the Company and its subsidiaries or another entity in the same Company and its subsidiaries or the market price of the equity instruments of the Company and its subsidiaries or another entity in the same Company and its subsidiaries (i.e. a market condition); that a performance target can relate either to the performance of the Company and its subsidiaries as a whole or to some part of it (e.g. a division); and that the period for achieving a performance condition must not extend beyond the end of the related service period. In addition, a share market index target is not a performance condition because it not only reflects the performance of the Company and its subsidiaries, but also of other entities outside the Company and its subsidiaries. IFRS 3 was amended to clarify that contingent consideration should be measured at fair value, irrespective of whether the contingent consideration is a financial instrument within the scope of IFRS 9 or IAS 39. Changes in fair value should be recognized in profit or loss. 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 045 HONESTY ● EFFICIENCY ● ACTIVENESS ● RESPONSIBILITY ● TEAMWORK The amended IFRS 8 requires an entity to disclose the judgments made by management in applying the aggregation criteria to operating segments, including a description of the operating segments aggregated and the economic indicators assessed in determining whether the operating segments have “similar economic characteristics”. The amendment also clarifies that a reconciliation of the total of the reportable segments’ assets to the entity’s assets should only be provided if the segments’ assets are regularly provided to the chief operating decision-maker. IFRS 13 was amended to clarify that the issuance of IFRS 13 did not remove the ability to measure short-term receivables and payables with no stated interest rate at their invoice amounts without discounting, if the effect of not discounting is immaterial. IAS 24 was amended to clarify that a management entity providing key management personnel services to the Company and its subsidiaries is a related party of the Company and its subsidiaries. Consequently, the Company and its subsidiaries are required to disclose as related party transactions the amounts incurred for the service paid or payable to the management entity for the provision of key management personnel services. However, disclosure of the components of such compensation is not required. 4)Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2011-2013 Cycle Several standards, including IFRS 3, IFRS 13 and IAS 40 “Investment Property”, were amended in this annual improvement. IFRS 3 was amended to clarify that IFRS 3 does not apply to the accounting for the formation of all types of joint arrangements in the financial statements of the joint arrangement itself. The scope in IFRS 13 of the portfolio exception for measuring the fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities on a net basis was amended to clarify that it includes all contracts that are within the scope of, and accounted for in accordance with, IAS 39 or IFRS 9, even if those contracts do not meet the definitions of financial assets or financial liabilities within IAS 32. IAS 40 was amended to clarify that IAS 40 and IFRS 3 are not mutually exclusive and application of both standards may be required to determine whether the investment property acquired is acquisition of an asset or a business combination. 5)Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38 “Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortization” The entity should use appropriate depreciation and amortization method to reflect the pattern in which the future economic benefits of the property, plant and equipment and intangible asset are expected to be consumed by the entity. The amended IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment” requires that a depreciation method that is based on revenue that is generated by an activity that includes the use of an asset is not appropriate. The amended standard does not provide any exception from this requirement. The amended IAS 38 “Intangible Assets” requires that there is a rebuttable presumption that an amortization method that is based on revenue that is generated by an activity that includes the use of an intangible asset is not appropriate. This presumption can be overcome only in the following limited circumstances: a)In which the intangible asset is expressed as a measure of revenue (for example, the contract that specifies the entity’s use of the intangible asset will expire upon achievement of a revenue threshold); or b)When it can be demonstrated that revenue and the consumption of the economic benefits of the intangible asset are highly correlated. An entity should apply the aforementioned amendments prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after the effective date. 6)Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2012-2014 Cycle The amendments to IFRS 7 provide additional guidance to clarify whether a servicing contract is continuing involvement in a transferred asset. Except for the above impact, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Company and its subsidiaries are continuingly assessing the possible impact that the application of other standards and interpretations will have on the Company and its subsidiaries’ financial position and financial performance, and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is complete. 4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY Statement of Compliance The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Banks, the guidelines issued by the authority, and IFRS endorsed by the FSC. Basis of Preparation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments measured at fair values. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. 046 FINANCIAL STATEMENT Since the operating cycle in the banking industry cannot be reasonably identified, the accounts included in the Company and its subsidiaries financial statements were not classified as current or noncurrent. Nevertheless, accounts were properly categorized in accordance with the nature of each account and sequenced by their liquidity. Please refer to Note 44 for the maturity analysis of assets and liabilities. The significant accounting policies are set out as below. Principles for Preparing Consolidated Financial Statements The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (i.e. its subsidiaries). When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of its subsidiaries to bring its accounting policies into line with those used by the Company. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation. The consolidated entities as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows: Investor Investee Main Business % of Ownership December 31 2014 2013 Hua Nan Commercial Bank Ltd. HNCB Insurance Agency Co., Ltd. Life insurance agency 100 100 Hua Nan Commercial Bank Ltd. Hua Nan International Leasing Co., Ltd. Financial leasing 100 100 Hua Nan International Leasing Co., Ltd. Hua Nan International Leasing Corporation Financial leasing 100 100 Foreign Currencies In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange differences on monetary items arise from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of nonmonetary assets (such as equity instruments) or liabilities measured at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period at the rates prevailing at the end of reporting period except for exchange differences arising on the retranslation of nonmonetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income, in which case, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income. For the purposes of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries’ foreign operations are translated into New Taiwan dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits, time deposits that can be readily terminated without deduction of principal, and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and cash equivalents in consolidated balance sheets, and those amounts of due from the Central Bank and other banks and securities purchased under agreements to resell that meet the definition of cash and cash equivalents in IAS 7, etc. Investment in Associates An associate is an entity over which the Company and its subsidiaries have significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company and its subsidiaries’ share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. The Company and its subsidiaries also recognize the changes in the Company and its subsidiaries’ share of equity of associates. 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 047 HONESTY ● EFFICIENCY ● ACTIVENESS ● RESPONSIBILITY ● TEAMWORK The additional impairment loss of an associate was measured and recognized by using IAS 39 “Financial Investments: Recognition and Measurement”. The entire carrying amount of the investment is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount (the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use) with its carrying amount under IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”. Any impairment loss recognized forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases under IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”. Financial Instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company and its subsidiaries become a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss. Financial assets All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis. Trade date basis means that when financial assets are purchased or sold, the delivery date was within the period prescribed by regulation or market practice. a. Measurement category Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale financial assets and loans and receivables. 1)Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets are classified as at fair value through profit or loss when the financial asset is either held for trading or it is designated as at fair value through profit or loss. A financial asset is classified as held for trading if: a)The main purpose to obtain those financial assets is to sell in a short term; b)The financial assets recognized initially are part of the identified financial instruments combined for management and were held for short-term profit; or c)Derivative financial instruments (except for financial guarantee contracts and derivative financial instruments designated for hedge). A financial asset may be designated as at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition if: a)Such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or b)The financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed in accordance with the Company and its subsidiaries’ documented risk management or investment strategy, and evaluated on a fair value basis, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis. Furthermore, the contract contains one or more embedded derivatives so that the entire hybrid (combined) contract can be designated as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset. Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities at the balance sheet date are determined as follows: Publicly traded stocks - at closing prices; open-end mutual funds - at net asset values; domestic bonds - at prices quoted by the Taiwan GreTai Securities Market; overseas bonds - at prices quoted by the Bloomberg, the Reuters or the counterparty in transactions and financial assets and financial liabilities without quoted prices in an active market - at values determined using valuation techniques. 2)Held-to-maturity financial assets Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity dates that the Company and its subsidiaries have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity other than those that the Company and its subsidiaries upon initial recognition designate as at fair value through profit or loss, or designate as available for sale, or meet the definition of loans and receivables. 048 FINANCIAL STATEMENT Subsequent to initial recognition, held-to-maturity investments are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any impairment. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. 3)Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. Changes in the carrying amount of available-for-sale monetary financial assets relating to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest income calculated using the effective interest method and dividends on available-for-sale equity investments are recognized in profit or loss. Other changes in the carrying amount of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income. When the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss that previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss. Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Company and its subsidiaries’ rights to receive the dividends are established. Available-for-sale equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured and derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity investments are measured at cost less any identified impairment loss at the end of each reporting period and are recognized in a separate line item as financial assets carried at cost. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of the financial assets cannot be reliably measured, the financial assets are remeasured at fair value. The difference between carrying amount and fair value is recognized in other comprehensive income on financial assets and recognized in profit or loss when impairment loss is identified. 4)Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivatives with fixed or determinable payments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market. Loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the effect of discounting is immaterial. b. Impairment of financial assets Financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected. In determining the allowance for credit losses and provision for losses on guarantees, the Company and its subsidiaries assess the collectability of discounts and loans, receivables, and other financial assets (remittance purchased and nonperforming loans transferred from other than loans), as well as guarantees and acceptances as of the balance sheet date. Loans and receivables are assessed for impairment at the end of each reporting period and considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the foregoing discounts and loans, receivables, and other financial assets, the estimated future cash flows of the asset have been affected. Objective evidence of impairment could include: • Overdue loans; • Loans reclassified as nonperforming loans; • Debt consultation/debt clearance/individual consultation; or • The poverty-relief household handled the renewal of matured loans, repayment deferral, and negotiation of repayment plan under “The Bankers Association of the Republic of China (BAROC) Member Self-Discipline System for Negotiation with Debtors”. Discounts and loans, receivables, and other financial assets that are assessed as not impaired individually are further assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of discounts and loans, receivables, and other financial assets could include the Company and its subsidiaries’ past experience of collecting payments and an increase in the number of delayed payments, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on loans and receivables. 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 049 HONESTY ● EFFICIENCY ● ACTIVENESS ● RESPONSIBILITY ● TEAMWORK The amount of the impairment loss recognized is the difference between the asset carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, after taking into account the related collaterals and guarantees, discounted at the original effective interest rates. The carrying amount of the discounts and loans, receivables, and other financial assets is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Under the “Regulations Governing the Procedures for Banking Institutions to Evaluate Assets and Deal with Nonperforming/Nonaccrual Loans” (the “Regulations”), the Company and its subsidiaries evaluates credit losses on the basis of the estimated collectability. In accordance with the Regulations, credit assets are classified as normal assets, assets that require special mentioned, assets with substandard, assets with doubtful collectability, and assets on which there is loss. Based on the above Regulations, the minimum allowance for credit losses and provision for losses on guarantees for the normal assets, assets that require special mentioned, assets that are substandard, assets with doubtful collectability, and assets on which there is loss should be 1%, 2%, 10%, 50% and 100% of outstanding, respectively. In addition, for improvement of risk affordability, FSC issued No. 10300329440 letter that requires domestic banks allocate at least 1.5% allowance of repairing loans and construction loans before 2016. The Company and its subsidiaries recognized allowance for loans and receivables in accordance with “Regulations of the Procedures for Banking Institutions to Evaluate Assets and Deal with Past - Due/Non-Performing Loans” and the test of impairment for financial assets. The larger amounts will be set as the standard of recognizing the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company and its subsidiaries wrote off bad loans based on the possibilities of recovering overdue receivables as well as non-performing loans and the values of collateral after the revaluation was approved by the board of directors. When an available-for-sale financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period. In respect of available-for-sale equity securities, impairment loss previously recognized in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of investments revaluation reserve. In respect of available-for-sale debt securities, impairment loss are subsequently reversed through profit or loss if an increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss. For financial assets that are carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods. The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced through the book value except for discounts and loans which is reduced through the use of allowance account. When those discounts and loans are considered uncollectible, they are written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss. c. Derecognition of financial assets The Company and its subsidiaries derecognize a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognized in profit or loss. Financial liabilities a. Measurement and recognition Except the following situation, all the financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method: Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Financial liabilities are classified as at fair value through profit or loss when the financial liability is either held for trading or it is designated as at fair value through profit or loss. A financial liability is classified as held for trading if: 1)The main purpose is to repurchase in a short term; 2)The financial liabilities recognized initially are part of the identified financial instruments combined for management and were held for short-term profit; or 3)Derivative financial instruments (except for financial guarantee contracts and derivative financial instruments designated for hedge). 050 FINANCIAL STATEMENT A financials liability may be designated as at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition if the recognition results in more relevant information and if: 1) Such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or 2) The financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed in accordance with the Company and its subsidiaries’ documented risk management or investment strategy and is evaluated on a fair value basis and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis. Furthermore, the contract contains one or more embedded derivatives so that the entire combined contract (asset or liability) can be designated as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any dividends paid on the financial liability. b. Derecognition of financial liabilities The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss. Derivative Financial Instruments Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship. When the fair value of derivative financial instruments is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; when the fair value of derivative financial instruments is negative, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability. Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts are treated as separate derivatives when they meet the definition of a derivative. Their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the contracts are not measured at fair value through profit or loss. Hedge Accounting Hedge accounting is as follows: a. Fair value hedges Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recognized in profit or loss immediately, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. The change in the fair value of the hedging instrument and the change in the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in profit or loss in the line item relating to the hedged item. Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the Company and its subsidiaries revokes the designated hedging relationship, or when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting. The fair value adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged instrument arising from the hedged risk for which the effective interest method is used is amortized to profit or loss from the date of hedge accounting is discontinued. The adjustment is based on a recalculated effective interest rate at the date amortization begins and will be amortized fully by maturity of the financial instrument. b. Cash flow hedges The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss. c. Hedges of net investments in foreign operations Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges. Any gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of foreign currency translation reserve. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized in profit or loss immediately. Gains and losses on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve are reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal or partial disposal of the foreign operation. Fair value hedges undertaken by the Company and its subsidiaries are mainly designated to hedge the risk of the change in fair value of the interest earning assets or interest bearing liabilities with fixed interest rate, which is attributable to the fluctuations in interest rates or foreign exchange rates. At the inception of the hedge relationship, Company and its subsidiaries document the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with their risk management objectives and their strategy for 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 051 HONESTY ● EFFICIENCY ● ACTIVENESS ● RESPONSIBILITY ● TEAMWORK undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, Company and its subsidiaries document whether the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting the exposure of changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. The associated gains or losses that were recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment in the line item relating to the hedged item in the same period when the hedged item affects profit or loss. If a hedge of a forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the associated gains and losses that were recognized in other comprehensive income are removed from equity and are included in the initial cost of the non-financial asset or non-financial liability. Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the Company and its subsidiaries revoke the designated hedging relationship, or when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting. The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument that has been previously recognized in other comprehensive income from the period when the hedge was effective remains separately in equity until the forecast transaction occurs. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognized immediately in profit or loss. Overdue Loans Under “Regulations Governing the Procedures for Banking Institutions to Evaluate Assets and Deal with Non-performing/ Non-accrual Loans”, nonperforming loans should be reclassified as overdue loans within performing period of 6 months. However the non-performing loans paid by installments after negotiation are exempted from the aforementioned rules. Overdue loans transferred from loans should be recorded under discounts and loans. For other loans transferred from accounts other than loans, such as guarantees, acceptances, receivables factoring and credit card receivables should be recorded under other financial assets. Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Transactions Securities purchased under agreements to resell (reverse repurchase) agreements and securities sold under agreements to repurchase are generally treated as collateralized financing transactions. Interest earned on reverse repurchase agreements or interest incurred on repurchase agreements is recognized as interest income or interest expense over the life of each agreement. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are hold for offering labor service, leasing to others or management purpose and can be used for a period. Property and equipment are stated at cost, less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment loss when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and its subsidiaries and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Depreciation of property and equipment is recognized so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis under IAS 8 “Accounting Policies Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”. Property and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of property and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss. Investment Properties Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation. Additionally, investment properties whose future usage is currently undecided and thus deemed held for capital appreciation. Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. Depreciation is recognized so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. Investment properties are derecognized when are disposed or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of investment properties is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss. Intangible Assets Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful life, residual value, and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis under IAS 8 “Accounting Policies Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”. 052 FINANCIAL STATEMENT Intangible assets are derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of intangible assets is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss. Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets At the end of each reporting period, the Company and its subsidiaries review the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have incurred an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company and its subsidiaries estimate the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to the individual cash-generating units; otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In evaluating the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted by pre-tax discount rate, the rate that reflects the market’s revaluation on time value of money and unadjusted future cash flows of specific asset risks. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount. When an impairment loss is reversed subsequently, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined without impairment loss (less amortization or depreciation) that been recognized for the asset or cashgenerating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss. Collaterals Assumed Collaterals assumed are recorded at cost. Impairment losses shall be recognized in profit or loss by the difference between the original cost and the fair value evaluated on the balance sheet date. Provisions The Company and its subsidiaries recognized provisions when the Company and its subsidiaries have a present obligation arising from past events (legal or constructive obligation) and the amounts of obligation can be estimated reliably and can be settled. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect of the time value of money is material). When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably. Employee Benefits Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions. For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Any actuarial gains and losses generated from retirement benefit obligation are recognized in other comprehensive income. Past service cost is recognized immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested, and otherwise is amortized on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the consolidated balance sheets represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognized past service cost, and as reduced by the fair value of plan assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to the unrecognized past service cost, plus the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the plan. Curtailment or settlement gains or losses on the defined benefit plan are recognized when the curtailment or settlement occurs. The Company and its subsidiaries offered preferential interest rate to its current employees and retired employees for their deposits within a prescribed amount. The preferential interest rate in excess of market interest rate is considered employee benefits. Under Article 28 of the Criteria Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Bank, if the Bank’s preferential deposit interest rate for as stated in the employment contract exceeds the market interest rate, the excess will be subject to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits” upon the employee’s retirement. The actuarial valuation assumptions and parameters are based on those announced by authority, if any. 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 053 HONESTY ● EFFICIENCY ● ACTIVENESS ● RESPONSIBILITY ● TEAMWORK Income Tax Income tax expense represents the sum of the current tax and deferred tax. a. Current tax According to the Income Tax Act, an additional tax at 10% of unappropriated earnings is provided for as income tax in the year the shareholders approve to retain the earnings. Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision. b. Deferred tax Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for propable deductible temporary differences and unused loss carry forward that taxable profits will be available against those deductible temporary differences. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company and its subsidiaries expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. c. Current and deferred tax for the period Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination d. Linked-tax system The Company, HNFH, and HNFH’s subsidiaries chose to adopt the linked-tax system income tax returns filling. Under Interpretation 2003-240 issued by Accounting Research and Development Foundation (ARDF), the linked-tax system requires a reasonable and systematic method for tax allocation. The tax allocation is recorded as receivables or payables. Recognition of Interest Revenue and Interest Expense The transaction costs of acquisition of loans and receivables or additional service fee on generation or acquision of the loans and receivables are served to adjust the book value of loans and receivables and thereby revise the effective interest rate. Interest revenue generated from discounts and loans are recognized based on accrual basis. When the loans become past due and are considered uncollectible, the principal and interest receivable are transferred to nonperforming loan accounts, and the accrual of interest revenue is ceased. Interest revenue will be recognized when the interest of the nonperforming loan is collected. According to the regulations issued by Ministry of Finance, if the repayment of loan is extended under an agreement, the related interest should be recognized as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue when collected. Recognition of Commission Fee Revenue and Commission Fee Expense Commission fee revenue and expense are recognized when loans or other services are provided. Service fees on significant projects are recognized when the project has been completed, for instance, loan syndication fees are recognized as revenue when the syndication has been completed. If fee revenue and expense are related to provide service on loans, fee revenue and expense are either recognized over the period that service is performed or as an adjustment to the effective interest rate on the loans and receivables, mainly depend on their materiality. Leasing Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. a. The Company and its subsidiaries as lessor Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease unless 054 FINANCIAL STATEMENT another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern of the lessee’s benefit from the use of the leased asset than the origin. Lease incentives included in the operating lease are recognized as an asset. The aggregate cost of incentives is recognized as a reduction of rental income on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern over which the benefit of the leased asset is diminished. b. The Company and its subsidiaries as lessee Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognized as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognized as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. Stock-based Compensation Stock-based compensation is performed byHNFH that the Act that 15% cash capital increase was reserved for employees provided by the parent company, HNFH that is pursuant to Article 267 of Company Act and Article 30 of Financial Holding Company Act. The service received should be measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted, the Company and its subsidiaries shall measure the fair value of equity instruments granted at the grant date, based on market prices, and account for those amounts as payroll expense during the vesting period (or the grant date if vesting period not available). Contingencies A contingent liability is a possible obligation depending on whether some uncertain future event occurs, or a present obligation but payment is not probable or the amount cannot be measured reliably. A contingent liability is not recognized but disclosed in certain circumstances. A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past event and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company and its subsidiaries. A contingent asset is not recognized but disclosed only when the economic benefit is probably realized. 5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY In the application of the Company and its subsidiaries’ accounting policies, which are described in Note 4, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. a. Held-to-maturity financial assets Management has reviewed the Company and its subsidiaries’ held-to-maturity financial assets in light of their capital maintenance and liquidity requirements and has confirmed the Company and its subsidiaries’ positive intention and ability to hold those assets to maturity. Please refer to Note 12 for related information on held-to-maturity financial assets. b. Income tax As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the carrying amount of deferred tax assets please refer to Note 28. The utility of the deferred tax asset mainly depends on whether sufficient future profits or taxable temporary differences will be available in the future. In cases where the actual future profits generated are less than expected, a material reversal of deferred tax assets may arise, and the amount would be recognized in profit or loss for the period in which such reversal takes place. c. Impairment loss of receivables The Company and its subsidiaries consider the estimation of future cash flows when there is observable data indicating that an impairment loss occurs. The amount of impairment loss measured is the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding the future credit loss that might arise), discounted at the financial asset’ original effective interest rate. When the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise. The book value of receivables and its allowance for credit losses please refer to Note 9. 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 055 HONESTY ● EFFICIENCY ● ACTIVENESS ● RESPONSIBILITY ● TEAMWORK d. Impairment loss of discounts and loans The Company and its subsidiaries review loan portfolios to assess impairment periodically. In determining whether an impairment loss should be recorded, the Company and its subsidiaries make judgments as to whether there is any observable data indicating that impairment is occurred. This evidence may include observable data indicating that there has been an adverse change in the payment status of borrowers (e.g. payment delinquency or default), or economic conditions that correlate with defaults on assets. For the purpose of assessing impairment, the management uses estimates based on historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics and objective evidence of impairment similar to those in the portfolio when estimating expected future cash flows. The methodology and assumptions used for estimating both the amount and timing of future cash flows are reviewed regularly in order to decrease the difference between estimated loss and actual loss. Discounts and loans with allowance for credit losses, please refer to Note 10. e. Fair value of derivative and other financial instruments The Company and its subsidiaries’ managements use their judgment in selecting an appropriate valuation technique for financial instruments that do not have quoted market price in an active market. Valuation techniques commonly used by market practitioners are applied. For derivative financial instruments, assumptions were based on quoted market rates adjusted for specific features of the instruments. Other financial instruments were valued using a discounted cash flow analysis that includes assumptions based on quoted market prices or rates (if available). The measurement for the fair value of unlisted equity investments includes assumptions not based on observable market prices or rates. Note 43 provides detail information about the key assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of financial instrument. The Company and its subsidiaries’ managements believe that the chosen valuation techniques and assumption used are appropriate in determining the fair value of financial instruments. f. Employee benefit obligation provision The present value of defined benefit obligation and preferential interest on employees’ deposits are based on several actuarial assumptions. Any changes on these assumptions will influence the fair value of the employee benefit obligations. Employee benefit obligation provision please refer to Note 26. One of the assumptions used to determine net pension cost (income) pertains to the discount rate.The company and its subsidiaries’ determined the approriate discount rate at the end of each year and use the rate to calculate the present value of cash outflow of emplyee benefit obligation provision. To deciede proper discount rate, the Company and its subsidiaries are required to consider the rate of high-quality corporate or government bonds. The currency denominated in those bonds are identical to the currency paid for employee benefit obligation provision and the period of the maturity dates of those bonds shall be the same with the maturity dates of the related pension liabilities. The other significant assumptions of employee benefit obligation provision are based on the current market condition. 6.

Fair value of financial instruments not carried at fair value The Company and its subsidiaries apply the following methods and assumptions to determine the fair values of financial instruments not carried at fair value: 1) The carrying amounts of the following short-term financial instruments approximate to their fair values because of their short-term maturity: Cash and cash equivalents, due from the Central Bank and other banks, receivables, refundable deposits, deposits from the Central Bank and banks, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, payables, guarantee deposits received. 094 FINANCIAL STATEMENT 2) Discounts and loans (include nonperforming loans): The interest rate of the Company and its subsidiaries’ loan are determined by the base rate and the added/deducted margin, i.e. the floating rate which can represent market rate. Thus, it’s reasonable to estimate the fair value using the carrying amount with the consideration to the possibility of the collection. The fair value of the fixed rate mid-term and long-term loans should be determined by the discounted present value of the future cash flows. However, the mid-term and long-term loans is not significant in this item; thus, it’s reasonable to estimate the fair value using the carrying amount in consideration of the possibility of collection. 3) Held-to-maturity financial assets: Held-to-maturity financial assets with quoted price in an active market are using market price as fair value; held-to-maturity financial assets with no quoted price in an active market are estimated by valuation methods or counterparties’ price. 4) Deposits and remittances: Considering banking industry’s characteristic, maturity within deposits have one year and measured by market rate (market value), using carrying value to assess fair value is reasonable. Because deposits with three years maturity are measured by discounted cash flow, using carrying value to assess fair value is reasonable. 5) Bank debenture: The fair value of bank debenture are determined by their expected future cash flow discounted at borrowing rate of debt instruments with equivalent term. The discount rates adopted by the Company and its subsidiaries were from 1.391% to 3.3%. 6) Other financial assets - debt investments with no active market: The fair value of debt investments with no active market is determined by the discounted cash flow approach. The discount rates of the Company and its subsidiaries are identical to the return of financial instruments with the same terms and properties. The terms and the properties include the credits condition of the debtor, the fixed interest bearing period, the remaining period of the principle and the currency of the payments, etc. The discount rates of the Company and its subsidiaries range from 0.9% to 2%. 7) Other financial assets - financial assets carried at cost: The fair value of unquoted equity investments cannot be reliably measured because those investments do not have quoted price in an active market, the variability interval of fair value measurements is significant or the probability of the estimations in the variability interval cannot be reasonably assessed. Hence, the fair value is not disclosed. c. Financial instruments measured at fair value Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial assets and derivative financial instruments for hedging with quoted price in an active market are using market price as fair value; financial instruments above with no quoted price in an active market are estimated by valuation methods. The estimation and assumption of valuation method that the Company and its subsidiaries used are the same with market participants. The Company and its subsidiaries can obtain this information. The basis of fair value estimation used by the Company and its subsidiaries is shown as follows. Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities at the balance sheet date are determined as follows: Publicly traded stocks - at closing prices; open-end mutual funds - at net asset values; domestic bonds - at prices quoted by the Taiwan GreTai Securities Market; overseas bonds - at prices quoted by the Bloomberg, the Reuters or the counterparty in transactions and financial assets and financial liabilities without quoted prices in an active market - at values determined using valuation techniques. If there is no active market price for derivatives, except from part of them estimated by the quotation from counterparties, the derivatives are determined at the foreign exchange rate (the closing rates published by BOT), market yield curve and volatility curve by the Reuters. The fair value of forward and interest swap contracts are determined by discounted cash flow, and option contracts are determined by Black-Scholes model, binomial model, or Monte Carlo Method. d. Hierarchy information of fair value of financial instruments 1) The definition of the hierarchy is listed below: a)Level one Level 1 financial instruments are traded in active market and have the identical price for the same financial instruments. “Active market” should fit the following characteristics: i. All financial instruments in the market are homogeneous; ii. Willing buyers and sellers exist in the market all the time; iii.The public can access the price information easily. 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 095 HONESTY ● EFFICIENCY ● ACTIVENESS ● RESPONSIBILITY ● TEAMWORK b)Level two The products categorized in this level have the prices that can be inferred from either direct or indirect observable inputs other than active market’s prices. Examples of these inputs are: i. Quoted prices from the similar products in the active market refers to the fair value that can be derived from the current trading prices of similar products. It is also noted that whether they are similar products should be judged by the characteristics and trading rules. The fair value valuation in this circumstance may make some adjustment due to time lags, trading rule’s differences, related parties’ prices, and the correlation of price between itself and the similar goods. ii. Quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in inactive markets. iii. When marking-to-model, the input of model in this level should be observable (such as interest rates, yield curves and volatilities). The observable inputs mean that they can be attained from market and can reflect the expectation of market participants. iv. Inputs which can be derived from other observable prices or whose correlation can be verified through other observable market data. c)Level three The fair prices of the products in this level are based on the inputs other than the direct market data. For example, historical volatility used in valuing options is an unobservable input, because it cannot represent the entire market participants’ expectation towards future volatility. 2) The fair value hierarchy of the Company and its subsidiaries’ financial instruments was as follows: December 31, 2014 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Non-derivative financial instruments Assets Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Held for trading financial assets Investment in stocks Investment in bonds Others $ 91,587 $ 91,587 $ - $ - 350,397 350,397 - - 31,707,017 - 31,707,017 - 13,528,314 470,325 13,057,989 - Financial assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss Investment in bonds Available-for-sale financial assets Investment in stocks 9,173,848 9,173,848 - - Investment in bonds 72,114,300 27,013,256 45,101,044 - 5,682,210 1,124,395 4,557,815 - 18,833,340 - 18,833,340 - 4,752,808 - 4,752,808 - 4,191 - 4,191 - 3,807,558 - 3,806,415 1,143 41,968 - 41,968 - Others Liabilities Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Derivative financial instruments Assets Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Derivative financial assets for hedging Liabilities Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Derivative financial assets for hedging 096 FINANCIAL STATEMENT December 31, 2013 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Non-derivative financial instruments Assets Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Held for trading financial assets Investment in stocks Investment in bonds $ 429,294 $ 429,294 $ - $ - 318,736 - 318,736 - 20,543,916 - 20,543,916 - 16,820,214 716,797 16,103,417 - Investment in stocks 9,851,013 9,851,013 - - Investment in bonds 67,713,144 23,530,070 44,183,074 - 2,803,566 1,173,126 1,630,440 - 19,481,976 - 19,481,976 - 2,176,160 - 2,175,978 182 6,132 - 6,132 - 1,174,028 - 1,174,028 - 86,820 - 86,820 - Others Financial assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss Investment in bonds Available-for-sale financial assets Others Liabilities Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Derivative financial instruments Assets Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Derivative financial assets for hedging Liabilities Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Derivative financial assets for hedging 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 097 HONESTY ● EFFICIENCY ● ACTIVENESS ● RESPONSIBILITY ● TEAMWORK The NTD government bonds held by the Company and its subsidiaries are classified as bond investment in inactive market.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT a. Overview The major risks confronted by the Company and its subsidiaries include credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk, and operational risk regarding to on-balance and off-balance business. To improve and reinforce the ability as well as the culture of risk management, the Company and its subsidiaries have established related risk management policies approved by the board of directors and developed risk measurement instruments to identify, estimate, monitor and control all types of risk reasonably. b. Risk management framework The board of directors is the top risk supervisor of the Company and its subsidiaries and is responsible for the review of related policies and the approval of risk report etc. After authorized by the board of directors, senior and related managers set up various committee including risk management, business loan audit, overdue loan review and asset management committee to establish mechanisms for risk managing and supervise the execution of risks management policies. Audit division takes charge of inspecting and evaluating the feasibility as well as the effectiveness of internal control. c. Credit risk 1) Sources and definitions of credit risk Credit risk is the risk of default loss that a customer or counterparty fails to meet the contract because of deterioration of it’s financial condition. 2) Policies and strategies To ensure the sound development and establish the consistent credit management culture, the Company and its subsidiaries have stipulated “Hua Nan Commercial Bank Corporate Finance Risk Management Policy”, “Hua Nan Commercial Bank Personal Finance Risk Management Policy”, “Hua Nan International Leasing Co., Ltd. Risk Management Policy” and “Hua Nan International Leasing Corporation Risk Management Policy” as the basis of credit risk regulations. Credit risk management procedures and measurements are as follows: a)Loan business (includes loan commitment and guarantee) Loan business classification and credit quality level are shown as follows: Classification The Company and its subsidiaries’ loans are classified into 5 classes. Except for normal credits classified as the Class 1, the remaining unsound credit assets are classified as Class 2 “Assets that require special mention”, Class 3 “Assets that are substandard”, Class 4 “Assets that are doubtful and Class 5 “Assets for which there is loss” based on the status on collaterals and the length of time overdue. To manage the problematic loans, the Company set up “Evaluation of Asset Classification Guidelines”, “Overdue Loans, Non-performing Loans and Bad Debt Management Guidelines” and the subsidiaries established “Overdue Receivables, Non-performing Receivables and Bad Debt Management Guidelines”. All regulations are the basis to manage the problematic and overdue debts. Credit quality level In order to measure clients’ credit risks, the Company and its subsidiaries established credit rating model and the personal finance scorecard on the basis of the statistic method and judgment of the professionals. According to internal credit ratings, scorecard, and the possibility of long-term default on individual asset groups, the Company and its subsidiaries classified the credit quality of the undue and unimpaired loans as well as receivables into 4 level. Level 1 has the lowest credit risk and the level 4 has the highest one. Based on the actual occurrence of default, the model and scorecard are examined and revised, if necessary, to ensure the effectiveness of the related risk measurement. 100 FINANCIAL STATEMENT b)Due from the Central Bank and others banks The Company and its subsidiaries will evaluate the counterparties’ credit status and refer to the information issued by credit agencies. The Company and its subsidiaries will set different credit limits based on different ratings. c)Debt investment and derivative financial instruments The Company and its subsidiaries manage and identify credit risks of debt investment through credit ratings by external institution, credit quality of the debt, regional conditions and counterparties’ risks. The Company and its subsidiaries categorized the credit quality of debt investment instruments into 3 groups as follows: “The instruments beyond certain ratings assigned by authorized credit agencies”; “The instruments below certain ratings assigned by authorized credit agencies” and, “The instruments without ratings assigned by authorized credit agencies”. The Company and its subsidiaries set the related regulations on the qualification of the counterparties and the credit exposures. The related regulations are as follows: i: The clients’ credit limit should be approved within the limitation on credit risk according to the regulation on conducting the derivative instruments business. ii: The financial institutions with long-term credit ratings assigned by authorized credit agency’s are granted the credit limit. iii:The derivative transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries and the Central bank as well as the transactions in the stock exchange market are exempted from the aforementioned regulations. 3) Credit risk hedging or mitigation policies a)Collateral To reduce the loss of credit risk and ensure that the Company and its subsidiaries are able to dispose the collateral and mitigate the credit risk effectively. The Company and its subsidiaries have set up several mechanisms, such as collateral valuation, the use of credit guarantee fund, the supervision of valuation method and after-loans management. Through the build of the system and the management mechanism, the Company monitors the fluctuation of the collateral price to ensure the effectiveness. Additionally, the Company stated related agreements on debt preservation and the rule of setting off etc. to ensure the enforcement of debt preservation and thereby reduce the credit risk. The subsidiaries established the guidelines on loan business, loan examination and loan review to ensure the qualities of assets and thereby reduce the credit risk. To take credit risk into consideration, the subsidiaries are entitled to require the clients to provide collateral. In terms of managing the assessment of collateral, the subsidiaries established the guiding principles of classification of assets that can served as collateral, collateral management, to ensure the enforcement of debt preservation. b)Credit risk limits and credit risk concentration control The Company and its subsidiaries have set the limitation on credit exposure to single counterparty, related parties groups, corporations industries and nations respectively.

Market risk 1) Source and definition of market risk Market risk is the risk of potential decrease in values of trading position due to changes in market risk factors, such as interest rate, foreign exchange rate, price of equity securities, fluctuation or other factors. 2) Management structure and plan of market risk To manage the market risk of the financial instrument transactions, the Company and its subsidiaries implement market risk limit control scheme and regularly conduct the measurement, analysis, reporting and disclosure of the exposure amounts of the market risk factors faced by the Company’s financial instrument transactions. Besides, the Company and its subsidiaries implemented mechanism for control of market risk to manage financial market risk appropriately. 3) Market risk management To manage market risk, the Company and its subsidiaries set up limits on holding positions, losses of all financial instruments and value at risk (VaR) based on current year’s budget. The Company and its subsidiaries has insignificant market risk since gain or loss on change of market interest rate or foreign exchange rate are offset by those of hedged items or other assets or liabilities. a)Value at risk The Company and its subsidiaries employ VaR to measure the investment portfolio of trading book and banking book. Banking book comprises available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. 114 FINANCIAL STATEMENT VaR is the statistics of potential losses on holding positions arising from unfavorable market condition changes. Within a 99% confidence interval, VaR refers to the greatest potential loss in one day, namely that there is one percent chance to incur the losses greater than VaR. VaR model assumes that the Company and its subsidiaries hold the positions at least one days (one month) before the positions can be settled and that the market fluctuation in one day is similar to that in the past. The Company and its subsidiaries calculated VaR of their positions using historical simulation method. Based on the data in the past year used in assessing historical market fluctuations, the outcome will be used to monitor and examine the correctness of the assumptions and parameters. The aforementioned method can’t prevent the loss resulted from significant market fluctuations. VaR information of trading book is shown below: 2014 Trading Book Portfolio Exchange rate risk Average $ 5,466 2013 Highest $ 15,643 Lowest $ Average 1,100 $ 6,780 Highest $ 38,930 Lowest $ 1,219 Interest rate risk 3,678 13,510 905 4,562 10,831 1,037 Equity risk 9,253 16,777 932 7,639 15,120 2,615 10,878 20,235 1,953 10,977 37,475 5,074 Diversified risk VaR information of banking book is shown below: 2014 Banking Book Portfolio Exchange rate risk Average $ 346,374 2013 Highest $ 551,898 Lowest $ 174,023 Average $ 441,306 Highest $ 550,227 Lowest $ 6,348 Interest rate risk 561,958 649,370 473,387 453,564 698,183 107,210 Equity risk 429,707 615,566 261,052 669,729 746,632 551,733 Diversified risk 683,582 1,018,472 405,557 869,862 1,013,140 711,107 Limitation of VaR: i. Historical data may not be the best estimates of future risk factors, and cannot capture the extremely unfavorable market trend. ii. VaR cannot capture the market risk position that can not be convertible or be hedged. iii.The loss calculated by using 99% confidence level can’t reflect the part over 99% confidence level. To take trading book for example, trading book can neither assure that the loss of financial instruments would not surpass VaR, nor confirm that the loss per day within 99 days would not surpass VaR. b)Stress testing is used to measure the greatest potential losses of the portfolio of risk assets under the worst scenario. The Company and its subsidiaries perform stress testing assuming the situation in which changes in interest rate + 200 bps, decrease in securities 40%, changes in exchange rate of USD or EUR + 10%, and changes in exchange rate of other currency + 10% and report the outcome to the management and Risk Management Committee. 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 115 HONESTY ● EFFICIENCY ● ACTIVENESS ● RESPONSIBILITY ● TEAMWORK 4)Information of exchange rate risks December 31, 2014 Foreign Currencies Exchange Rate New Taiwan Dollars Financial assets Currency items 352,300 26.0250 CAD AUD $ 42,836 27.3200 1,170,269 CHF 7,364 32.0450 235,972 CNY 15,070,372 5.0990 76,843,829 EUR 354,237 38.5400 13,652,303 GBP 61,868 49.3400 3,052,550 HKD 4,288,772 4.0820 17,506,769 JPY 35,585,474 0.2656 9,451,502 NZD 54,234 24.8500 1,347,717 SGD 61,856 24.0000 1,484,550 USD 9,472,903 31.6700 300,006,838 VND 347,236,537 0.0015 517,628 1,674,420 2.7400 4,587,910 27,484 31.6700 870,430 AUD 453,795 26.0250 11,810,010 CAD 64,889 27.3200 1,772,776 CHF 8,000 32.0450 256,375 CNY 9,926,219 5.0990 50,613,793 EUR 461,212 38.5400 17,775,112 GBP 184,120 49.3400 9,084,479 HKD 3,933,287 4.0820 16,055,676 JPY 36,872,216 0.2656 9,793,261 NZD 123,841 24.8500 3,077,460 SGD 35,356 24.0000 848,534 USD 11,250,176 31.6700 356,293,077 VND 367,109,686 0.0015 547,253 1,950,210 2.7400 5,343,574 32,344 31.6700 1,024,340 ZAR $ 9,168,608 Noncurrency item USD Financial liabilities Currency items ZAR Noncurrency item USD 116 FINANCIAL STATEMENT December 31, 2013 Foreign Currencies Exchange Rate New Taiwan Dollars Financial assets Currency items AUD 367,376 26.5850 CAD 93,309 27.9800 2,610,786 CNY 7,993,562 4.9130 39,272,369 EUR 327,983 41.1200 13,486,662 GBP 65,797 49.1400 3,233,281 HKD 4,289,870 3.8400 16,473,101 JPY 35,091,338 0.2840 9,965,940 NZD 51,598 24.5000 1,264,155 SGD 74,856 23.5200 1,760,624 USD 9,671,621 29.7800 288,020,885 VND 565,081,347 0.0014 800,009 1,848,832 2.8600 5,287,660 8,795 29.7800 261,913 AUD 418,765 26.5850 11,132,879 CAD 92,882 27.9800 2,598,828 CNY 7,779,691 4.9130 38,221,622 EUR 301,193 41.1200 12,385,054 GBP 60,056 49.1400 2,951,151 HKD 4,161,698 3.8400 15,980,919 JPY 28,417,866 0.2840 8,070,674 NZD 51,099 24.5000 1,251,931 SGD 21,282 23.5200 500,544 USD 11,386,877 29.7800 339,101,196 VND 563,569,548 0.0014 797,869 1,846,217 2.8600 5,280,180 18,585 29.7800 553,455 ZAR $ $ 9,766,681 Noncurrency item USD Financial liabilities Currency items ZAR Noncurrency item USD 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 117 HONESTY ● EFFICIENCY ● ACTIVENESS ● RESPONSIBILITY ● TEAMWORK 5)Disclosures prepared in conformity with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Banks a)Interest rate sensitivity information (New Taiwan dollars) December 31, 2014 1 to 90 Days (Included) Items 91 to 180 Days (Included) Interest -sensitive assets $ 1,351,477,322 $ 114,419,599 Interest -sensitive liabilities 1,459,340,494 71,306,987 Interest -sensitive gap (107,863,172) 43,112,612 181 Days to One Year (Included) $ 118,127,963 Over One Year $ Total 184,553,561 $ 1,768,578,445 84,307,768 58,566,228 1,673,521,477 33,820,195 125,987,333 95,056,968 Net assets 124,181,635 Ratio of interest - sensitive assets to liabilities (%) 105.68% Ratio of interest - sensitive gap to net assets (%) 76.55% December 31, 2013 1 to 90 Days (Included) Items 91 to 180 Days (Included) Interest -sensitive assets $ 1,359,805,816 $ 71,640,027 Interest -sensitive liabilities 1,382,515,377 68,771,253 Interest -sensitive gap (22,709,561) 2,868,774 181 Days to One Year (Included) $ 85,551,743 Over One Year $ Total 172,172,551 $ 1,689,170,137 89,283,990 46,149,480 1,586,720,100 (3,732,247) 126,023,071 102,450,037 Net assets 119,663,115 Ratio of interest - sensitive assets to liabilities (%) 106.46% Ratio of interest - sensitive gap to net assets (%) 85.62% Note 1:The above amounts include only New Taiwan dollars held by head office and domestic branches of the Company and exclude contingent assets and contingent liabilities.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT a. Principle of capital management In compliance with “Regulation Governing the Capital Adequacy and Capital Category of Banks”, the Company and its subsidiaries calculate eligible capital and risk-weighted assets ratio, disclose relating information and report to the authorities. Under “Regulations Governing the Capital Adequacy and Capital Category of Banks’, eligible capital are categorized into two tiers as follows: Tier 1 Capital, common equity and other tier 1 capital, and Tier 2 Capital. Riskweighted assets are calculated using standardized approach stated in “Methods for Calculating Bank’s Regulatory Capital and Risk-Weighted Assets”. To maintain sufficient eligible capital and withstand the possible losses, the Company and its subsidiaries not only meet the minimum requirements set by the authorities but assess the extent of capital adequacy through advanced simulation as well as subsequent supervision and analysis, given the business scheme, risk status and composition of eligible assets, thus, the Company and its subsidiaries are capable of developing countermeasures in a timely manner. b. Eligible capital and risk-weighted assets. The Company and its subsidiaries’ information on eligible capital and risk-weighted assets were presented in the following table. All figures meet the authorities-regulation of minimum capital adequacy rate.

Note 2:The annual reports disclose capital adequacy rate in the current and prior year. The interim financial statements are required to disclose the capital adequacy ratio in the end of the prior year in addition to the disclosed in current and prior years. Note 3:The formula: 1)Eligible capital = Common equity + Other Tier 1 capital + Tier 2 capital. 2)Total risk-weighted asset = Risk-weighted assets for credit risk + (Capital requirements for operational risk + Capital requirement for market risk) × 12.5. 3)Ratio of capital adequacy = Eligible capital/Total risk-weighted assets. 4)Common equity-based capital ratio = Common equity/Total risk-weighted assets. 5)Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio = (Common equity + Other Tier 1 capital)/Total risk-weighted assets. 6)Leverage ratio = Tier 1 capital/Total exposure. 122 FINANCIAL STATEMENT 46.

Information on the Nature and Amount of All Types of Risk (1)Credit Risk Management System and Capital Charges: Credit Risk Management System 2014 Item Content 1.Credit Risk Strategies Goals, Policies and Procedures 1. Hua Nan has set forth policies governing corporate banking credit risk and consumer banking credit risk to ensure the Bank’s health and maintain a consistent credit risk management culture. These guidelines serve to govern the Bank’s credit risk-related affairs, and all units must comply with the content of these policies. 2. The ultimate goal of the Bank’s credit risk management is to establish the best capital allocation policies, and gradually adopt the internal ratings-based approach in measuring assets with credit risk for internal management. Hua Nan aims to conform to internationally recognized best credit risk management practices, pursuing the maximum profits within a specific amount of acceptable risk. 3. Hua Nan’s credit risk management procedures can be divided into credit checking, appraisal of collateral, credit rating, application, analysis and screening, obtaining deeds, registration of loan amount, disbursement of loan, credit monitoring and early warning, credit re-screening and other post-disbursement management measures that make use of information systems and related reports. This enables Hua Nan to always be aware of the actual counterparty risk, thereby achieving its risk management objective. 2.Credit Risk Management Organization and Framework Hua Nan’s credit risk management organization and framework is as follows: 1.

(2)Credit Review Committee: This committee is charged with evaluating the credit risk of large-sized loans in order to ensure the Bank’s rights as creditor. (3)Overdue Loans Screening Committee: This committee is responsible for mapping out means to recover large and complicated cases of overdue loans and making decisions on writing off specific loans.
