Message to Shareholders

As a result of stagnant global trade, weak investment, and highly uncertain economic policies in major countries, global
economic growth rate in 2016 was merely 3.1%, a new low since the financial tsunami. In Taiwan, although domestic
economy started to warm up in the second half of the year, the economic growth rate was only 1.5%, still on the low side.

The unfavorable environment affected the momentum of Mega Bank's business expansion. Average loan business volume
in 2016 was slightly lower than last year's by 1.45%. In addition, as its New York Branch failed to comply with Bank
Secrecy Act and Money Laundering Control Act of the United States, the Bank was fined US$180 million by the New
York State Department of Financial Services in August, 2016. The impact led overall net pretax profit to drop by 23.78%
to NT$23.058 billion in 2016. As of the end of the year, the Bank's non-performing loan ratio was 0.09%, coverage ratio
of allowances for bad debt was 1,614%, capital adequacy ratio was 14.32%, and common equity Tier I ratio was 12.57%.
This performance is considered sound within the industry.

Thereafter the Bank reflected upon the incident. In recent years, in the midst of boosting sales, although the Bank was
aware of the importance of strengthening management and complying with laws and regulations, it was not able to keep
up with the tendency, and did not do enough. On top of that, its New York Branch omitted identifying and reporting a
few questionable transactions involved with suspected money laundering activities when conducting remittance
transactions, and the deficiency led to the incident.

2017 is the year of transformation and action for Mega Bank. The Bank adjusts its business strategies, enhances its head
office's management, restructures its organization, increases staff training, implements an information system to improve
monitoring of suspicious transactions, engages a large number of regulatory compliance and anti-money laundering
specialists, etc., so as to improve the mechanism of internal audit, internal control and regulatory compliance, and build
a corporate culture of legal compliance. The Bank demands itself to meet the highest international standard, and to be in
compliance with the regulations of domestic and overseas supervisory authorities.

Operation Results of 2016


I. Global & Domestic Economic Dynamics

1. Economic Growth

The global economic growth in 2016 failed to meet the expectation. According to IMF, the growth rate was 3.1%, a new
low after the financial tsunami. The main reasons were stagnant global trade of goods and services, increasing policy
uncertainties and weak investment. Looking forward to 2017, there may be a higher momentum for economic recovery.
IMF predicts global economic growth rate to increase to 3.4%, the highest in the last five years. For advanced countries,
corporates are expected to increase investment in line with better economic outlook; and a confidence of upward private
consumption is supported by a higher probability of wage increase due to the best shape of labor markets since the
financial tsunami. In addition, that monetary policies in advanced countries is likely easing will improve the global
economy. Specifically, IMF predicts the fiscal stimulus proposed by the Trump administration may increase the US
economic growth for this and next year by 0.1% and 0.4% respectively, generating positive spillover effects for other
countries. Also, commodity prices are still relatively low, which is of limited help to the economies of exporting countries.
The biggest downside risk to the world economy is protectionism from the US President Trump. A trade war may break
out and impacts the global economy, if the Dollar further strengthens and results in the widening of the US trade deficit,
according to IMF.

The domestic economy picked up in 2016, with economic growth rate increased every quarter after hitting a low in Q1.
In the second half of the year, due to the recovery of the world economy, rebound of international commodity prices, and
stable growth in domestic demand, the economic growth rate of the year reached 1.50%, exceeding the 1% threshold.

1 Annual Report 2016


Chairman
Chao-Shun Chang

Looking forward to 2017, major international research institutions predict that the global economy and trade will be better
than last year. In Taiwan, we may continue to see stable private consumption, import-export gaining momentum, and
public and private investment increasing as a result of the government's promotion of innovative industry. The
Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics (DGBAS) predicts that this year's economic growth will reach
1.92%. However, variables, including implementation of Trump's policies, the frequency of interest rate hikes by the US
Federal Reserve, elections in European countries, the emergence of trade protectionism, China's structural adjustment,
international raw material price fluctuation, etc., will affect Taiwan’s economic performance this year.
2. Financial Market
In terms of interest rate, due to the slow momentum of economic recovery worldwide and the unfavorable domestic
economy in the last two years, the Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan) has reduced the interest rate by 12.5
basis points each quarter for four consecutive quarters from September 2015 to June 2016. Also, affected by the sluggish
domestic economy, limited funding needs by companies and interest rate cuts, resulting in an average overnight rate of
0.19%, lower than last year's average of 0.35%. In the second half of 2016, due to the gradual recovery of the domestic
economy, the Central Bank kept the interest rate unchanged till the end of the year, ending the easing cycle for the time
being. Looking forward, with a stronger recovery of the global economy, domestic economic growth may be better than
last year. Besides, with inflation at a mild level, it is expected that the Central Bank will keep its easing monetary policy
in order to support the economy.
In terms of exchange rate, due to sharp fall in the global stock market, drop in oil prices and foreign investors oversell,
the NT dollar dropped to a low of 33.838 per US dollar at one point in early 2016. However, in the second half of the
year, as the global economy warmed up, raw materials prices rebounded, the domestic economy improved and foreign
investment increased significantly, TAIEX rose above 9,400 point mark; as a result, the NT dollar also appreciated,
reaching 31.225 per US dollar at one point. However, in November, due to the impact of the US presidential election and
increase in the US interest rate, the US dollar strengthened again, causing the NT dollar to drop to around 32 per US
dollar. The average exchange rate for 2016 was NT$32.30, a depreciation of 1.15% from NT$31.93 in the previous year.

II. Change in Organization Structure

In view of the increasingly strict international financial supervision standards, and considering the Bank's 39 overseas
branches and subsidiaries in 19 different jurisdictions, in 2016 the Bank resolved to set up Overseas Branches
Administration Department to supervise so as to enhance management efficiency. At the same time, Business
Administration Department was set up as the supervisory unit for domestic branches. Also, considering the fact that anti-
money laundering is a prior regulatory compliance issue, the Bank set up Anti-Money Laundering Center to manage
matters related to anti-money laundering and counter financing terrorism.

In addition, the Bank reinstated the Overdue Loan & Control Division, which was formally under the Credit Control
Department, to the Overdue Loan & Control Department.

In line with the trend of digital finance, the Bank restructured Global Electronic Banking Center to Digital Banking
Department to speed up its business innovation.

To assist its directors in doing their duties, the bank set up a secretary group to handle matters related to agenda of Board
of Directors meetings, so as to enhance corporate governance.

The Bank has restructured Auditing Office to Auditing Department.

Major Regulatory Changes and Influences
In August 2016, the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) has put forward the “Financial Sector Supporting the Real
Economy-Four Supports with Three Powers Project” through the function of the Entrepreneurship Fund and Angel Fund.
Also, to effectively guide capital into the main innovative industries, including green technology, Asian Silicon Valley,
bio-pharmaceuticals, national defense industry and smart machinery, the FSC has therefore promulgated the “Program to
Encourage Lending by Domestic Banks to Main Innovative Industries” to enhance mutual benefit between the financial
industry and other industries.
The FSC announced amendments to the “Directions Governing Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Terrorism
Financing of Banking Sector” on December 2, 2016. In order to improve regulatory compliance, the FSC demanded banks
to enhance the soundness of internal control and audit system, strengthen the compliance with the regulations of Anti-
Money Laundering and management of overseas branches’ risk, and arrange long-term staff training.
The FSC continued to extend the permitted scope and increased regulatory relaxation in FinTech industry. However, to
maintain the order of financial market, The FSC will adapt approval system when the specialized electronic payment
institutions deal with privileged financial business. It is expected that after the approval of “Financial Technology
Innovative Experimentation Act” in 2017, the cooperation between technology and financial industry will become tighter
then create more added valued and increase the operating efficiency of domestic financial industry.

5 Annual Report 2016


Bank Profile

Historical Overview

Mega International Commercial Bank Co., Ltd. (Mega Bank) has come into being as a result of the merger of The
International Commercial Bank of China and Chiao Tung Bank, effective on August 21, 2006. Both banks have been
proud of their longtime histories of outstanding track records in our country.

In 1971, The Bank of China was privatized to become The International Commercial Bank of China Co., Ltd. (ICBC),
whose origin dates back to the Ta Ching Bank and its predecessor, the Hupu Bank (the bank under the finance arm of the
imperial court in the Ching Dynasty). The Bank of China had been entrusted with the mission to serve as an agent of the
Treasury and a note-issuing bank before the establishment of the Central Bank of China in 1928. The Bank of China was
designated as a licensed specialized bank for international trade and foreign exchange thereafter. Taking advantage of its
specialization in foreign exchange, worldwide network of outlets and correspondence banks, superb bank assets, and
excellent business performance, ICBC has become a top-notch bank in the Republic of China.

Set up five years before the founding of the Republic of China, Chiao Tung Bank Co., Ltd. (CTB) had also been delegated
to act as an agent of the government coffer and a note-issuing bank in concert with the Bank of China at the outset of the
Republic. Transforming from a licensed bank for industries in 1928, an industrial bank in 1975, and a development bank
in 1979, CTB turned from a state-controlled bank into a privately–owned one in 1999. It has engaged in loan extensions
for medium- and long-term development, innovation and guidance investment (equity investment), and venture capital
ever since. For years, CTB has made significant contributions to the improvement of industrial structure and the
promotion of the upgrading of industry by assisting in the development of strategic and vital industries in line with the
economic policy and the economic development plan of the government.

CTB and International Securities Company formed the CTB Financial Holding Company in 2002. Late on, Chung Hsing
Bills Finance Corporation and Barits International Securities Company came under the financial umbrella. On December
31, 2002, Chung Kuo Insurance Company and ICBC joined forces with the Company to form a conglomerate named
Mega Financial Holding Company.

With a view to enlarging the business scale and increasing the market share, ICBC and CTB formally merged into one
bank under the name of Mega International Commercial Bank Co., Ltd. on August 21, 2006. By the end of 2016, the
Bank has 108 branches (including Foreign Department) at home, and 22 branches, 5 sub-branches, and 5 representative
offices (including marketing office) abroad. Together with the network are wholly-owned bank subsidiaries in Thailand
and Canada, along with their branches, bringing the number of overseas outposts to 39 in total. It has manpower 5,543
and an aggregate paid-in capital of NT$85.362 billion.

17 Annual Report 2016


Taiwanese Banking Industry & Market Overview
Due to the competitiveness of domestic market, the trend of globalization and the drop in transaction cost, expanding
overseas market, especially Southeast Asian emerging markets, becomes an important business strategy for domestic
banks.
Domestic banks' interest rate spread continues to shrink due to the unfavorable circumstances and reduction of interest
rate by the Central Bank of China (Taiwan), thereby eroding overall profit performance. Also, because of an increase in
provision for bad debts, housing loans and China market loan exposure, net pretax profit for domestic banks in 2016
continued to drop for a second year to NT$300.06 billion, a reduction of 6.11% from 2015. In terms of asset quality, as
of the end of December 2016, domestic banks' non-performing loan ratio increased slightly from last year-end's 0.23% to
0.27%, while coverage ratio of allowances for bad debt dropped from 555.43% to 502.93%.
As a result of inflow of foreign capital, continuous increase of foreign currency deposits, conservative corporate
investment, and a depressed real estate market, domestic banks' deposit growth rate exceeded that of loans for four
consecutive years, increasing pressure on funds application efficiency. Hence, most domestic banks adjusted their
business structure and promoted their wealth management business.
In recent years, domestic banks have been setting up overseas offices, with merging and acquisition extending, not only
in China, but also in Philippines, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, etc. Overseas offices with poor performance were
dissolved so that capital can be invested in markets with potential, to boost overseas operations performance.
Because of competitive pressure from technology sectors, banks have been aware of the need for fast changes in the
traditional operating pattern. In the past two years, they have actively upgraded their software and hardware and increased
staff training, which will facilitate bank transformation and business volume growth in FinTech services.
In 2016, many risk control deficiencies were noted in the financial industry which prompted the Financial Supervisory
Commission to adopt a series of regulatory amendments and response measures. Banks were required to strengthen
regulatory compliance of anti-money laundering and internal control system, and actively fortify a sound management
system.

I. Positive Factors

 Since the outlook of economy in 2017 is optimistic, private consumption and investment are expected to warm
up, which will facilitate domestic banks' loan and wealth management business so as to increase their profitability.

 In line with the government's promotion of “New Southbound Policy”, domestic banks successively expanded
international business and overseas markets. The competent authority also continues to ease regulations and to
encourage domestic banks granting of loans to key innovative industries. This will help domestic banks promote
loan business, and thus increase their competitiveness and profitability.

 In September 2016, the Financial Supervisory Commission launched a FinTech development project, “Pilot
Program”, allowing banks to initiate FinTech products with conditions for a trial period before relevant
regulations amended. This will help the banks to accelerate their development of the FinTech market.

 To support domestic economic growth, the government actively promotes “Investment Expansion Programs” and
“five-plus-two” innovative industries to optimize domestic investment environment, stimulate private investment,
and strengthen state-owned investment, and thereby driving development of banking industry.

-18-

Mega ICBC 18
II. Negative Factors

 The real estate market continues to be sluggish and developers are more conservative in launching new projects,
which will affect domestic bank’s loan business. Also, following the TRF dispute, the related escrow is expected
to increase significantly, which is not favorable for surplus.

 With increase of online transactions, the finance industry suffers higher and more frequent loss due to information
security risk and continuous threats from cyber hackers. Information security problems and consumer rights
protection also pose big challenges to banks.

 With stricter regulatory compliance required by international financial supervisory institutions, the cost of
domestic bank’s legal compliance may raise significantly.

III. Winning Strategies

 To improve information security, the Bank shall recruit qualified personnel from IT industry and increase the
frequency and depth of internal training programs.

 To enrich fee income, the Bank shall continue strengthen its wealth management business by diversifying its
consumer banking product to fulfill customers’ needs.

 To ensure the operating results, the Bank shall strengthen the internal audit and internal control scheme, pay close
attention to uncertainties in financial markets, and catch up with most recent regulations.

IV. Mega Bank’s Niche

 Mega Bank owns expansive global presence, and international banking expertise, enhancing the bank’s
diversification and profitability.

 Mega Bank maintains the highest foreign deposit balance among domestic banks ever since.

Business Plan

 The Bank will enhance training on anti-money laundering/counter-terrorism financing and BSA/OFAC
regulations of the United States to build a culture of legal compliance within the Bank.

 Head Office will strengthen the management mechanism for the Bank’s overseas branches and subsidiaries to
increase its effectiveness and efficiency.

 To response to the Government’s policy of “Digital Nation and Innovative Economy”, the Bank will increase the
exposure to industries in “five plus two industries list”.

 The Bank will engage R&D and innovation of communication technology applications in financial services to
build up the Bank’s capability to provide digital financial services.

 The Bank will increase investment in high-quality bond to generate stable fixed income, and enlarge high-
liquidity asset to compliant with regulatory requirement for LCR.

 The Bank will diversify wealth management product line to satisfy different target groups, especially the young
adults and high-net-worth customers.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Mega International Commercial Bank Co., Ltd.

Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Mega International Commercial Bank Co., Ltd. (the
“Bank”) and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive
income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements,
including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial position of the Bank and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and its consolidated financial
performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the
Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Banks” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International
Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory
Commission.

Basis for opinion


We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Rules Governing the Audit of Financial Statements of Financial
Institution by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC
GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of
the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Bank and its subsidiaries in
accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”),
and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence
we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters


Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the
consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion
on these matters.

The Bank and its subsidiaries’ key audit matters for the year ended December 31, 2016 are addressed as follows:

Impairment assessment of bills discounted and loans


Description

For the accounting policy for the impairment assessment of bills discounted and loans, please refer to Note 4(9) of
the consolidated financial statements; for critical accounting judgments, estimates, and key sources of assumption
uncertainty of impairment assessment of bills discounted and loans, please refer to Note 5(2) of the consolidated financial
statements; for the details of bills discounted and loans, please refer to Note 6(5) of the consolidated financial statements.

Mega ICBC 30
The credit services provided by the Bank and its subsidiaries, which are their main business activity, are primarily
corporate credit facilitations. Impairment losses on bills discounted and loans are losses as a result of existing objective
evidence of impairment that estimated future cash flows of loans may not be recovered. The Bank and its subsidiaries’
impairment assessment on bills discounted and loans is conducted in accordance with related regulations of IAS 39,
‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ and meet the related requirements of the competent authority. If
there is existing objective evidence of impairment loss for significant credit facilitations which exceed a certain amount,
then such facilitations are individually assessed. Impairment loss is primarily provisioned according to the future cash
flows and collateral value of the borrower; if there is no existing objective evidence of impairment or if there is existing
objective evidence of impairment but the credit facilitation does not exceed a certain amount, then assessment is
conducted on a collective basis and impairment losses are estimated according to impairment parameters such as the
impairment probability, recovery rate, and effective interest rate under each industry group.
The aforementioned provision of impairment loss for bills discounted and loans includes the determination of future
cash flows of individual assessment and impairment parameters for collective assessment. Because this involves
subjective judgment and numerous assumptions and estimates, the method of determining assumptions and estimates will
directly affect the related recognized amounts. Also, considering that loans account for approximately 58% of total assets,
we have thus included the individual and collective impairment assessment of the Bank and its subsidiaries’ bills
discounted and loans as one of the key audit matters in our audit.
How our audit addressed the matter
The procedures that we have conducted in response to specific aspects of the above-mentioned key audit matter are
summarized as follows:
1. Understood and assessed the related policies, internal control system, and operation procedures of assumptions and
estimates (including the impairment probability, recovery rate, future cash flows, and collateral value) used by the
Bank and its subsidiaries in provisioning impairment losses for bills discounted and loans.
2. Sampled and tested internal controls related to the provision of impairment loss, including the identification of
objective evidence for impairment loss, annual reviews, management of collateral and their value assessment, value
assessment of collateral, controls for changing impairment parameters, and approval for provisioning of impairment
loss.
3. Collective assessment
(1) Evaluated the model parameter assumptions of the Bank and its subsidiaries’ collective assessments; understood
the calculation logic of different group parameters (e.g. the impairment probability, recovery rate, and effective
interest rate), as well as the status of periodic updates.
(2) Sampled and tested the accuracy of impairment loss balances.
(3) Filtered loan portfolio amounts of corporate facilitations under loans accounts using the system logic which
incorporated the Bank’s policy to sample and test the accuracy of their respective impairment probability,
recovery rate, and effective interest rates, as well as to examine their consistency with the financial statements.
4. Individual assessment (for credit facilitations with existing objective evidence of impairment loss that exceeded a
certain amount)
(1) Assessed the completeness of the watch list for credit facilitations for which objective evidence is existed.
(2) Sampled and compared the consistency of the system’s judgment with samples which had been judged to have
objective evidence of impairment.
(3) Assessed the reasonableness of parameter assumptions (including the borrower’s time of past due, financial and
operational status, and historical experience) for estimated future cash flows and the accuracy of calculation
results for estimated future cash flows.

31 Annual Report 2016


Impairment assessment of equity investments carried at cost
Description
For the accounting policy for the impairment assessment of equity investment carried at cost (accounted under other
financial assets), please refer to Note 4(9) of the consolidated financial statements; for critical accounting judgments,
estimates, and key sources of assumption uncertainty of equity investments carried at cost, please refer to Note 5(3) of
the consolidated financial statements; for detail of other financial assets-equity investments carried at cost, please refer to
Note 6(9) of the consolidated financial statements. Other financial assets-equity investments carried at cost and its
accumulated impairment as at December 31, 2016, was $10,692,246 thousand and $1,040,931 thousand, respectively.
For the provision of impairment for other financial assets-equity investments carried at cost accounted for by the
Bank and its subsidiaries, in accordance with the Bank and its subsidiaries’ accounting policy, upon the end of each
reporting period, the Bank and its subsidiaries shall estimate impairment losses when it is assessed that there is objective
evidence of impairment. When individual equity investments have existing objective evidence of impairment loss,
provision of impairment loss is determined by the recoverable amount of cash flows based on the financial and operating
status.
Because the aforementioned determination on whether there is existing objective evidence of impairment for equity
investments carried at cost and the provision of impairment (including the determination of recoverable cash flows)
involve subjective judgment and numerous assumptions and estimates, the method of determining assumptions and
estimates will directly affect recognized amounts. Thus, we have included the impairment assessment of the Bank and its
subsidiaries’ equity investments carried at cost as one of the key audit matters in our audit.

How our audit addressed the matter


The procedures that we have conducted in response to specific aspects of the above-mentioned key audit matter are
summarized as follows:
1. Understood and assessed the Bank and its subsidiaries’ related policies, stop-loss and exception management controls,
and handling procedures for determining impairment evidence and the provision of impairment for equity
investments measured at cost.
2. Sampled and tested the evaluations provided by management to determine whether there are documents that support
the existence of impairment evidence.
3. Sampled and tested the appropriateness of management’s estimate future cash flows (e.g. documents related expected
recoverable cash flows of investees) and recalculated the accuracy of provisioned impairment amounts.
Other matter – Parent company only financial report
We have audited and expressed an unmodified opinion on the parent company only financial statements as at and for the
years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, prepared by the Bank.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial
statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance
with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Banks” and the International Financial
Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by
the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable
the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Bank and its subsidiaries’
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Bank and its subsidiaries or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Bank and its subsidiaries’ financial reporting process.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements


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

As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud
or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Bank
and its subsidiaries’ internal control.
3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management.
4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the
audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant
doubt on the Bank’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material
uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are
based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may
cause the Bank and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern.

5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a
manner that achieves fair presentation.
6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities
within the Bank and its subsidiaries to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Bank and its subsidiaries audit. We remain solely
responsible for our audit opinion.

33 Annual Report 2016


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

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the
matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report
because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of
such communication.
The consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2016 expressed in US dollars were
translated from the New Taiwan dollar consolidated financial statements using the exchange rate of US$1:NT$32.206 at
December 31, 2016 solely for the convenience of the readers. This basis of translation is not in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the Republic of China.

joint ventures’
Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Bank and its subsidiaries’ financial
condition and operating result. The quantitative impact will be disclosed when the assessment is complete.
A. IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’
(a) Classification of debt instruments is driven by the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial
assets, which would be classified as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, financial asset measured at fair value through
other comprehensive income or financial asset measured at amortised cost. Equity instruments would be classified as financial asset
at fair value through profit or loss, unless an entity makes an irrevocable election at inception to present in other comprehensive
income subsequent changes in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument that is not held for trading.
(b) The impairment losses of debt instruments are assessed using an ‘expected credit loss’ approach. An entity assesses at each balance
sheet date whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition to recognize 12-month
expected credit losses or lifetime expected credit losses (interest revenue would be calculated on the gross carrying amount of the
asset before impairment losses occurred); or if the instrument that has objective evidence of impairment, interest revenue after the
impairment would be calculated on the book value of net carrying amount (i.e. net of credit allowance). The Company shall always
measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses for trade receivables that do not contain a significant
financing component.

B. IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’


IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ replaces IAS 11 ‘Construction Contracts’, IAS 18 ‘Revenue’ and relevant interpretations.
According to IFRS 15, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. A customer obtains control
of goods or services when a customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the
asset.
The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an
amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity recognizes
revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the following steps:
Step 1: Identify contracts with customer.
Step 2: Identify separate performance obligations in the contract(s).
Step 3: Determine the transaction price.
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price.
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied.
Further, IFRS 15 includes a set of comprehensive disclosure requirements that requires an entity to disclose sufficient information to enable
users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts
with customers.
C. IFRS 16, ‘Leases’
IFRS 16, ‘Leases’, replaces IAS 17, ‘Leases’ and related interpretations and SICs. The standard requires lessees to recognize a 'right-of-
use asset' and a lease liability (except for those leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets). The accounting stays
the same for lessors, which is to classify their leases as either finance leases or operating leases and account for those two types of leases
differently. IFRS 16 only requires enhanced disclosures to be provided by lessors.
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been
consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

~41~

41 Annual Report 2016


(1) Compliance statement
The consolidated financial statements of the Bank and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the
Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Banks”, International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting standards, IFRIC
Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC ( collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”).
(2) Basis for preparation
Except for financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value, defined benefit liabilities recognized based
on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation, and available-for-sale financial assets measured at
fair value, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The analysis of expense is classified based on the nature of expenses.
The management has to make certain significant accounting estimates based on their professional judgment and decide the accounting policy
according to the IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC. Any change in the assumption could result in a significant change in the financial statements.
The management of the Bank and its subsidiaries believes that the assumptions used in the consolidated statements are appropriate. For highly
complicated matters, matters requiring high level of judgments, significant judgments that could have an impact on the consolidated financial
statements and estimates and key sources of assumption uncertainty, please refer to Note 5 for further details.
(3) Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements
A. All subsidiaries are included in the Bank and its subsidiaries’ consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities controlled by
the Bank. The Bank controls an entity when the Bank is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and
has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Bank obtains
control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Bank loses control of the subsidiaries.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Bank and its subsidiaries
are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by
the Bank.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent. Total comprehensive income
is also attributed to the owners of the parent.

As the individual total assets or operating revenue amounts of the above subsidiaries are immaterial, the accounts of these subsidiaries are
not included in the Bank’s consolidated financial statements although the Bank holds more than 50% equity interest in these subsidiaries.
The investments of certain subsidiaries are accounted for under equity method.

(4) Foreign currency translations
A. Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Bank and its subsidiaries’ entities are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in
New Taiwan Dollars, which is the Bank’s functional and the Bank and its subsidiaries’ presentation currency.
B. Transactions and balances
The transactions denominated in foreign currency or to be settled in foreign currency are translated into a functional currency at the spot
exchange rate between the functional currency and the underlying foreign currency on the date of the transaction.
Foreign currency monetary items should be reported using the closing rate (market exchange rate) at the date of each balance sheet. When
multiple exchange rates are available for use, they should be reported using the rate that would be used to settle the future cash flows of
the foreign currency transactions or balances at the measurement date. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost
should be reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at fair value
should be reported at the rate that existed when the fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising when foreign currency transactions are settled or when monetary items are translated at rates different from
those at which they were translated when initially recognized or in previous financial statements are reported in profit or loss in the period.
If a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in other comprehensive income, any foreign exchange component of that gain or
loss is also recognized in other comprehensive income. Conversely, if a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in profit or loss,
any foreign exchange component of that gain or loss is also recognized in profit or loss.
C. Translation of foreign operations
The operating results and financial position of the entire Bank and its subsidiaries’ entities in the consolidated financial statements that
have a functional currency (which is not the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) different from the presentation currency are
translated into the presentation currency as follows:
(A) Assets and liabilities presented are translated at the Bank and its subsidiaries’ closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;
(B) The profit and loss presented is translated by the average exchange rate in the period (except for the situation that the exchange rate
on the trade date shall be adopted when the exchange rate fluctuate rapidly); and
(C) All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

The translation differences arising from above processes are recognized as ‘Cumulative translation differences of foreign operations’ under
equity items.
(5) Cash and cash equivalents
“Cash and cash equivalents” in the consolidated balance sheet includes cash on hand, due from other banks, short-term highly liquid
investments that are readily convertible to known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. In respect of the
consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheet, due from
the central bank and call loans to banks meeting the definition of cash and cash equivalents as stated in IAS No.7 “Cash Flow Statements”,
and securities purchased under resale agreements meeting the definition of cash and cash equivalents as stated in IAS No. 7 “Cash Flow
Statements” as endorsed by the FSC.
(6) Bills and bonds under repurchase or resale agreements
The transactions of bills and bonds with a condition of repurchase agreement or resell agreement are accounted for under the financing method.
The interest expense and interest income are recognized as incurred at the date of sale and purchase and the agreed period of sale and purchase.
The repo trade liabilities, bond liabilities, reverse repo trade bills and bond investments are recognized at the date of sale or purchase.
(7) Financial assets or liabilities
The financial assets and liabilities of the Bank and its subsidiaries including derivatives are recognized in the consolidated balance sheet and
are properly classified in accordance with IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC.
A. Financial assets
The IFRSs as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission apply to the entire Bank and its subsidiaries’ financial assets, which are
classified into four categories: loans and receivables, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial assets
and held-to-maturity financial assets.
(A) A regular way purchase or sale
Financial assets that are purchased or sold on a regular way purchase or sale basis should be recognized and derecognized using trade
date accounting or settlement date accounting. The uniform accounting principles should be applied in the accounting for purchase
and sale of financial assets of the same type. All the Bank and its subsidiaries’ financial assets are accounted for using trade date
accounting.
(B) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market.
There are two types of loans and receivables: one is originated by the Bank and its subsidiaries; the other is not originated by the
Bank and its subsidiaries. Loans and receivables originated by the entity refer to the direct provision by the Bank and its subsidiaries
of money, merchandise or services to debtors, and loans and receivables not originated by the Bank and its subsidiaries are loans and
receivables other than those originated by the Bank and its subsidiaries.

~43~

43 Annual Report 2016


Loans and receivables are initially recognized at fair value, which includes the price of transaction, significant costs of transaction,
significant handling fees paid or received, discount and premium, etc., and subsequently measured using the effective interest method.
However, if the effect of discount is insignificant, following the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by
Public Banks”, loans and receivables can be measured at initial amount.
Interest accruing on loans and receivables is recognized as ‘interest revenue’. An impairment loss is recognized when there is an
objective evidence of impairment on loans and receivables. Allowance for impairment is a deduction to carrying amount of loans
and receivables, which is under the ‘allowance for bad debts and reserve for guarantee liabilities’ account.
(C) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss if they are acquired principally for the purpose of
selling or repurchasing or gaining profit in the short-term, or if they are derivative instruments. These financial assets are initially
recognized at fair value.
Financial assets that meet one of the following criteria are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition:
a. Hybrid (combined) contracts; or
b. They eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency; or
c. They are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or
investment strategy.
Any changes in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets designated as at fair value through
profit or loss on initial recognition are recognized under the ‘gain/loss on financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit
or loss’ account in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
(D) Held-to-maturity financial assets
Held-to-maturity financial assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity date that
the Bank and its subsidiaries have the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity other than those that meet the definition of
loans and receivables, designated as available-for-sale financial assets and those that are designated as at fair value through profit or
loss on initial recognition by the Bank and its subsidiaries.
Interest accruing on held-to-maturity financial assets is recognized as ‘interest revenue’. An impairment loss is recognized when
there is an objective evidence of impairment on financial assets. Impairment loss is a deduction to carrying amount of financial assets,
which is recognized under the ‘impairment loss on financial assets’ account.
(E) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are not classified in held-to-maturity financial assets, financial assets at
fair value through profit or loss and loans and receivables. Financial assets and liabilities that are attributed to equity and debt
investments on initial recognition are assessed at fair value. Transaction costs which are attributable to the acquisition should be
capitalized.
Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income.
When the financial asset is no longer recognized, the cumulative unrealized gain or loss that was previously recognized in other
comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss.
An impairment loss is recognized when there is an objective evidence of impairment. If financial assets have not been derecognized,
accumulated impairment loss related to the financial assets that was previously recognized in other comprehensive income shall be
reclassified to profit or loss. Impairment loss of an investment in an equity instrument recognized in profit or loss shall not be reversed
through profit or loss. Any subsequent increases in fair value of an investment in an equity instrument are recognized in other
comprehensive income. If the impairment loss of bond investments decreases with objective evidence indicating that an impairment
loss has been incurred after the impairment is recognized, the impairment amount is reversed and recognized in current profit and
loss.
Equity instruments with no quoted price in an active market are initially recognized at fair value plus acquisition or issuance cost.
The fair value can be reasonably estimated when the following criteria are met at the balance sheet date: (a) the variability in the
range of reasonable fair value estimate is not significant for that equity instrument; or (b) probabilities of the various estimates within
the range can be reasonably assessed and used in estimating fair value.
(F) Other financial assets
Other financial assets include investments in debt instruments without active market, overdue receivables not from lending, bill of
exchange negotiated and financial assets measured at cost.
a. Debt investments with no active market
Investments in debt instruments without active market are initially recognized at fair value on the trade date plus transaction costs
of acquisition or issuance. Disposal gain or loss is recognized when such investments are derecognized. Bond investments without
active market are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

b. Equity investments carried at cost


Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be
reliably measured or derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity instruments are
presented in ‘equity investments carried at cost’.

~44~

Mega ICBC 44
B. Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities held by the Bank and its subsidiaries comprise financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (including financial
liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition) and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost.
(A) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
This category includes financial liabilities held for trading or financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss on
initial recognition.
A financial liability shall be classified as held for trading, if it is incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing it in the near
term; or on initial recognition, is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there
is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking. A derivative is also classified as held for trading, except for a
derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument. Financial liability held for trading
also includes the obligations of delivery of financial assets borrowed by the seller. Above financial liability is shown as “financial
liability at fair value through profit or loss” in the consolidated balance sheet.
At initial recognition, it is not revocable if a debt instrument is designated at fair value through profit and loss. When the fair value
method is adopted, the main contract and the embedded derivative need not be recognized respectively.
Any changes in fair value of financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and financial liabilities designated as at fair value
through profit or loss on initial recognition are recognized under the ‘gain/loss on financial assets and liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss’ account in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
(B) Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost
All other financial liabilities that are not classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are classified as financial
liabilities measured at amortized cost.
C. Determination of fair value
Fair value and level information of financial instruments are provided in Note 7.
D. Derecognition of financial instruments
The Bank and its subsidiaries derecognize a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met:
(A) The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset expire.
(B) The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have been transferred and the Bank and its subsidiaries have
transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
(C) The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have been transferred; however, it has not retained control of the
financial asset.
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or
expires.
In case of securities lending or borrowing by the Bank and its subsidiaries or provision of bonds or stocks as security for repo trading, the
Bank and its subsidiaries does not derecognize the financial asset, because substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial
asset are still retained in the Bank and its subsidiaries.
(8) Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported in the net amount in the consolidated balance sheet when (A) there is a legally enforceable
right to offset the recognized amounts and (B) there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.
(9) Financial asset-evaluation, provision and reversal of impairment losses
A. The Bank and its subsidiaries would presume that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and recognize the impairment
losses only if there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired as a result of a loss event that
occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset
or group of financial assets.
B. The criteria that the Bank and its subsidiaries use to determine whether there is objective evidence of an impairment loss is as follows:
(A) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;
(B) A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
(C) The Bank and its subsidiaries, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, granted the borrower a
concession that a lender would not otherwise consider;
(D) It becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;
(E) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;
(F) Observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a group of financial assets
since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial asset in the
group, including adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in the group or national or local economic conditions that
correlate with defaults on the assets in the group;

~45~

45 Annual Report 2016


(G) Information about significant changes with an adverse effect that have taken place in the technology, market, economic or legal
environment in which the issuer operates, and indicates that the cost of the investment in the equity instrument may not be recovered;
or
(H) A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below its cost.
(I) Others are implemented in accordance with the Bank and its subsidiaries’ internal policies.
C. The assessment methods of impairment on loans and receivables are based on two categories: individual and collective assessments.
Individual assessments are classified as different groups based on whether there is objective evidence of significant impairment of the asset
or whether the individual asset has to be specially supervised. If no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed
financial asset, the asset will be classified into a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics for collective assessments.
D. After assessed impairment of loans and receivables, the Bank and its subsidiaries recognizes’ impairment loss measured as the difference
between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows of credit enhancement factors discounted at the
asset’s original effective interest rate. The credit enhancement factors include financial guarantee and net of collateral. If, in a subsequent
period, the amount of the impairment loss decreased and such decrease is objectively related to an event occurred after the impairment was
recognized, the amount of impairment loss recognized previously shall be reversed by adjusting the allowance for doubtful debts. The
reversal shall not cause a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds the amortized cost of the period before recognition of the
impairment loss. The amount of reversal shall be recognized in profit or loss.
E. Aforementioned assessment of loans and receivables were in accordance with “Regulations Governing the Procedures for Banking
Institutions to Evaluate Assets and Deal with Non-performing/Non-accrual Loans”, Financial-Supervisory-Banks Letter. No. 10300329440
of the FSC related to strengthening domestic banks’ tolerance of real estate mortgage risk on December 4, 2014 and Financial-Supervisory-
Banks Letter. No.10410001840 of the FSC related to strengthening domestic banks’ controls and tolerance of risk exposure in Mainland
China on April 23, 2015.
F. Equity investments 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 estimated
future cash flows discounted at current market return rate of similar financial assets, and is recognized in profit or loss. Impairment loss
recognized for this category shall not be reversed subsequently. Impairment loss is recognized by adjusting the carrying amount of the
asset directly.
(10) Derivatives
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the contract date and subsequently measured by fair value. The fair value includes the public
quotation in an active market or the latest trade price (e.g., Exchange-traded options), and evaluation techniques such as cash flow discounting
model or option pricing model (e.g., Swap contract and foreign exchange contracts). All derivatives are recognized as assets when the fair
value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative.
Hybrid contract refers to financial instruments of the embedded derivatives. Economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivatives
and the economic characteristics of the main contract should be examined for the embedded derivatives. If the two are not closely correlated
and the main contract is not a financial asset or liability at fair value through profit and loss, the main contract and embedded derivatives
should be respectively recognized unless the overall hybrid contract is designated as assets or liabilities at fair value through profit and loss.
The embedded derivatives are the financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit and loss.
(11) Investments accounted for under the equity method
A. Associates are all entities over which the Bank and its subsidiaries have significant influence but not control. In general, it is presumed
that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or indirectly 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee.
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognized at cost.
B. The Bank and its subsidiaries’ share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in profits or loss, and its share of post-
acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income. When the Bank and its subsidiaries’
share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Bank and its
subsidiaries do not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the
associate.
C. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Bank and its subsidiaries and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Bank and its
subsidiaries’ interest in the associates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of
the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted
by the Bank and its subsidiaries.
D. When changes in an associate’s equity that are not recognized in profit or loss or other comprehensive income of the associates and such
changes not affecting the Bank and its subsidiaries’ ownership percentage of the associate, the Bank and its subsidiaries recognized the
Bank and its subsidiaries’ share of change in equity of the associate in ‘capital reserve’ in proportion to its ownership.
E. When the Bank and its subsidiaries disposes its investment in an associate, if it loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts
previously recognized as other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are transferred to profit or loss. If it still retains significant
influence over this associate, then the amounts previously recognized as other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are
transferred to profit or loss proportionately.
(12) Property and equipment
The property and equipment of the Bank and its subsidiaries are recognized on the basis of the historical cost less accumulated depreciation.
Historical cost includes all costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets.

~46~

Mega ICBC 46
Such assets are subsequently measured using the cost model. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a
separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Bank and its
subsidiaries and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and
maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Land is not affected by depreciation. Depreciation for other assets is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the
assets till residual value. If each part of an item of property and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item
must be depreciated separately.
The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. If
expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future
economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8,
‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant
and equipment are as follows:
Item Year
Buildings and accessory equipment 1~60
Machinery and computer equipment 1~20
Transportation equipment 1~10
Other equipment 3~10
(13) Investment property
The properties held by the Bank and its subsidiaries, with an intention to obtain long-term rental profit or capital increase or both and not being
used by any other enterprises of the consolidated entities, are classified as investment property. Investment property includes the office building
and land leased out in a form of operating lease.
Part of the property may be held by the Bank and its subsidiaries and the remaining will be used to generate rental income or capital appreciation.
If the property held by the Bank and its subsidiaries can be sold individually, then the accounting treatment should be made respectively.
When the future economic benefit related to the investment property is highly likely to flow into the Bank and its subsidiaries and the costs
can be reliably measured, the investment property shall be recognized as assets. When the future economic benefit generated from subsequent
costs is highly likely to flow into the entity and the costs can be reliably measured, the subsequent expenses of the assets shall be capitalized.
All maintenance cost are recognized as incurred in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
An investment property is stated initially at its cost and measured subsequently using the cost model. The depreciation method, remaining
useful life and residual value should apply the same rules as applicable for property and equipment.
(14) Foreclosed properties
Foreclosed properties are stated at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less selling cost on the financial reporting date.
(15) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Bank and its subsidiaries assess at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they
are impaired. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The
recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less cost to sell or value in use. When the circumstances or reasons for recognizing
impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss shall be reversed. The increased carrying amount
due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortized historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been
recognized.
(16) Provisions for liabilities, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
When all the following criteria are met, the Bank and its subsidiaries shall recognize a provision:
A. A present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;
B. It is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and
C. The amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated.
If there are several similar obligations, the outflow of economic benefit as a result of settlement is determined based on the overall obligation.
Provisions for liabilities should be recognized when the outflow of economic benefits is probable in order to settle the obligation as a whole
even if the outflow of economic benefits from any one of the obligation is remote.
Provisions are measured by the present value of expense which is required for settling the anticipated obligation. The pre-tax discount rate is
used with timely adjustment that reflects the current market assessments on the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation.
Contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past event, 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 Bank and its subsidiaries. Or it could be a present
obligation as a result of past event but the payment is not probable or the amount cannot be measured reliably. The Bank and its subsidiaries
did not recognize any contingent liabilities but made appropriate disclosure in compliance with relevant regulations.
Contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past event, 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 Bank and its subsidiaries. The Bank and its subsidiaries did not
recognize any contingent assets and made appropriate disclosure in compliance with relevant regulations when the economic inflow is probable.
(17) Financial guarantee contracts
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the Bank and its subsidiaries to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for
a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument.

~47~

47 Annual Report 2016


The Bank and its subsidiaries initially recognize financial guarantee contracts at fair value on the date of issuance. The Bank and its subsidiaries
charge a service fee when the contract is signed and therefore the service fee income charged is the fair value at the date that the financial
guarantee contract is signed. Service fee received in advance is recognized in deferred accounts and amortized through straight-line method
during the contract term.
Subsequently, the Bank and its subsidiaries should measure the financial guarantee contract issued at the higher of:
A. The amount determined in accordance with IAS 37; and
B. The amount initially recognized less, when appropriate, cumulative amortization recognized in accordance with IAS 18, “Revenue”.
The best estimate of the liability amount of a financial guarantee contract requires management to exercise their judgment combined with
historical loss data based on the similar transaction experiences.
The increase in liabilities due to financial guarantee contract is recognized in “provision for loan losses and guarantee reserve”.
Assessment of above guarantee reserve is in accordance with “Regulations Governing the Procedures for Banking Institutions to Evaluate
Assets and Deal with Non-performing/ Non-accrual Loans” announced by the FSC.
(18) Employee benefits
A. Short-term employee benefits
The Bank and its subsidiaries should recognize the undiscounted amount of the short-term benefits expected to be paid in the future as
expenses in the period when the employees render service.
B. Employee preferential savings
The Bank provides preferential interest rate for employees, including flat preferential savings for current employees and flat preferential
savings for retired employees and current employees. The difference gap compared to market interest rate is deemed as employee benefits.
According to Regulation Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Public Banks, the preferential monthly interest paid to
current employees is calculated based on accrual basis, and the difference between the preferential interest rate and the market interest rate
is recognized under “employee benefit expense”. According to Article 30 of “Regulation Governing the Preparation of Financial
Statements by Public Banks”, the excessive interest arising from the interest rate upon retirement agreed with the employees in excess of
general market interest rate should be recognized in accordance with IAS 19, “Employee Benefits”, as endorsed by the FSC. However,
various parameters should be in compliance with competent authorities if indicated otherwise.
C. Termination benefits
Termination benefits are employee benefits provided in exchange for the termination of employment as a result from either the decisions
of the Bank and its subsidiaries to terminate an employee’s employment before the normal retirement date, or an employee’s decision to
accept an offer of redundancy benefits in exchange for the termination of employment. The Bank and its subsidiaries recognizes expense
as it can no longer withdraw an offer of termination benefits or it recognizes relating restructuring costs, whichever is earlier.
Benefits that are expected to be due more than 12 months after balance sheet date shall be discounted to their present value.
D. Post-employment benefit
The pension plan of the Bank and its subsidiaries includes both Defined Benefit Plan and Defined Contribution Plan. In addition, defined
contribution plan is adopted for employees working overseas according to the local regulations.
(A) Defined Contribution Plan
The contributions are recognized as pension expenses when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognized
as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.
(B) Defined Benefit Plan

a. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will
receive on retirement for their services with the Bank and its subsidiaries in current period or prior periods. The liability
recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation
at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit net obligation is calculated annually by
independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of
high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to
maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability; when there is no deep market in high-quality corporate
bonds, the Bank and its subsidiaries uses interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) instead.
b. Remeasurement arising on defined benefit plans are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they
arise and are recorded as retained earnings.
c. Past service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
E. Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration
Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognized as expenses and liabilities, provided that such
recognition is required under legal obligation or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference
between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates. If employee
compensation is distributed by shares, the Bank and its subsidiaries calculate the number of shares based on the closing price at the previous
day of the Board of Directors’ resolution day.
(19) Employee share-based payment
For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are measured at the fair value of the equity
instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognized as compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to

~48~

Mega ICBC 48
equity. The fair value of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions and non-market vesting conditions.
Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number
of equity instruments that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions at each balance sheet date. And ultimately, the amount
of compensation cost recognized is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
(20) Revenue and expense
Income and expense of the Bank and its subsidiaries are recognized as incurred. Expenses consist of employee benefit expense, depreciation
and amortization expense and other business and administration expenses. Dividend revenues are recognized within ‘Revenues other than
interest, net’ in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income when the right to receive dividends is assured.
A. Other than those classified as financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss, all the interest income and interest expense
generated from interest-bearing financial assets are calculated by effective interest rate according to relevant regulations and recognized
as “interest income” and “interest expense” in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
B. Service fee income and expense are recognized upon the completion of services of loans or other services; service fee earned from
performing significant items shall be recognized upon the completion of the service, such as syndication loan service fee received from
sponsor, service fee income and expense of subsequent services of loans are amortized or included in the calculation of effective interest
rate of loans and receivables during the service period. When determining whether the agreed rate of interest should be adjusted to effective
interest rate for interest-earning loans and receivables, the loans and receivables may be measured by the initial amounts if the effects on
discount are insignificant according to the “Regulation Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Banks”.
(21) Income tax
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to
items recognized in other comprehensive income or items recognized directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognized in other
comprehensive income or equity.
The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the
countries where the Bank and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax
returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the
amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional 10% tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as
income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.
Deferred income tax is recognized, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets
and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises
from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction
affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in
subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Bank and its subsidiaries and it is probable
that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have
been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized
or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the
temporary differences can be utilized. At each balance sheet date, unrecognized and recognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed.
Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to
offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax
assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend
to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(22) Share capital and dividends
Dividends on ordinary shares are recognized in the financial statements in the period in which they are approved by the shareholders. Cash
dividends are recorded as liabilities. Stock dividends are recorded as stock dividends to be distributed and are reclassified to ordinary shares
on the effective date of new shares issuance; they are not recognized and only disclosed as subsequent event in the notes if the dividend
declaration date is later than the consolidated balance sheet date.
(23) Operating segments
Information of operating segments of the Bank and its subsidiaries is reported in the same method as the internal management report provided
to the chief operating decision-maker (CODM). The CODM is the person or group in charge of allocating resources to operating segments and
evaluating their performance. The CODM of the Bank and its subsidiaries is the Board of Directors.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Bank and its subsidiaries’
accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual
results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors.
Management’s critical judgements in applying the Bank and its subsidiaries’ accounting policies that have significant impact on the consolidated
financial statements are outlined below:

(1) Financial instruments (including derivative instruments) valuation


If there is no quoted market price available in an active market for financial instruments, a valuation technique will be adopted to measure the
fair value. If there are observable data of similar financial instruments in the market, then the fair value of the underlying financial instruments
is estimated by reference to the observable data; otherwise, the fair value is estimated using the appropriate pricing models which are commonly
used in the market. The assumptions used in the pricing models should refer to the observable data in the market. However, when those data

~49~

49 Annual Report 2016


are not observable from the market and/or the assumptions used in the pricing models are more subjective, the fair value of the financial
instruments may be estimated based on historical data or other information. The pricing models used by the Bank and its subsidiaries are all
evaluated and tested periodically to ensure the outputs may reflect the actual data and market prices. The primary assumptions used in
determining the fair values of financial instruments are provided in Note 7(3). The management believes the pricing models and assumptions
used have appropriately determined the fair values of financial instruments.
(2) Loan impairment
The Bank and its subsidiaries’ impairment assessments are in compliance with the regulations of regulatory authorities. The Bank and its
subsidiaries evaluates cash flows and impairment amounts, through model analysis and individual case assessment, on a monthly basis based
on several factors, such as nature of client risk and security coverage. The Bank and its subsidiaries recognize impairment loss whenever there
is observable evidence showing that impairment has occurred. This evidence includes repayment status of debtor, event that would cause
delinquency in payments, and any significantly unfavorable changes in national or local economic circumstance. Future cash flows are
estimated primarily based on the length of overdue time, the status of debtors, security coverage, guarantee of external institution and historical
experiences. The incidence of impairment and subsequent collectability rate used in impairment evaluations are estimated based on the types
of products and historical data. The Bank and its subsidiaries review the assumptions and inputs used in impairment evaluations periodically
to ensure they are all reasonable.
(3) Financial assets-impairment of equity investments
The Bank and its subsidiaries follow the guidance of IAS 39 to determine whether a financial asset-equity investment is impaired. This
determination requires significant judgement. In making this judgement, the Bank and its subsidiaries evaluate, among other factors, the
duration and extent to which the fair value of an equity investment is less than its cost and the financial health of and short-term business
outlook for the investee, including factors such as industry and sector performance, changes in technology and operational and financing cash
flow.
If the decline of the fair value of an individual equity investment below cost was considered significant or prolonged, the Bank and its
subsidiaries would suffer a loss in its financial statements, being the transfer of the accumulated fair value adjustments recognized in other
comprehensive income on the impaired available-for-sale financial assets to profit or loss or being the recognition of the impairment loss on
the impaired equity investments carried at cost in profit or loss.
(4) Post-employment benefit
The present value of post-employment benefit obligations are estimated based on several assumptions. Any changes in those assumptions will
affect the carrying amounts of post-employment benefit obligations.
The assumptions used to determine net pension cost (revenue) comprise discount rate. The Bank and its subsidiaries determine the appropriate
discount rate at the end of each year, and use the discount rate in calculating the present value of future cash outflow of post-employment
benefit obligations. The discount rate is chosen by reference to the rate of government bonds where the currency and maturity date of
government bonds are in agreement with those of post-employment benefit obligations. Any changes in these assumptions could significantly
impact the carrying amount of defined pension obligations.

Note: In accordance with the Bank Law, financial holding companies are required to appropriate an interbank settlement fund and deposit it
in the Central Bank for clearing purpose in the financial industry. The interbank settlement fund deposited in a special account in the
Central Bank has been reclassified from ‘other prepayments’ to ‘due from the Central Bank and call loans to banks’. As of December
31, 2015 and January 1, 2015, the amount has been adjusted from NT$0 thousand to NT$3,970,161 thousand and NT$3,497,785
thousand, respectively.
As required by relevant laws, the reserves for deposits are calculated at required reserve ratios based on the monthly average balances of
various deposit accounts. Reserve for deposits - category B cannot be used except upon the monthly adjustment of the reserve.

61 Annual Report 2016


A. Defined benefit plans
(A) The Bank has a defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Labor Standards Law, covering all regular employees’ service
years prior to the enforcement of the Labor Pension Act on July 1, 2005 and service years thereafter of employees who chose to
continue to be subject to the pension mechanism under the Law. Under the defined benefit pension plan, two units are accrued for
each year of service for the first 15 years and one unit for each additional year thereafter, subject to a maximum of 45 units. Pension
benefits are based on the number of units accrued and the average monthly salaries and wages of the last 6 months prior to retirement.
The Bank and its subsidiaries contribute monthly an amount equal to 8.766% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the
retirement fund deposited with Bank of Taiwan, the trustee, under the name of the independent retirement fund committee. Also, the
Bank would assess the balance in the aforementioned labor pension reserve account by the end of December 31, every year. If the
account balance is insufficient to pay the pension calculated by the aforementioned method, to the employees expected to be qualified
for retirement next year, the Bank will make contributions to cover the deficit by next March.

(B) The amounts recognized in the balance sheet are determined as follows:

(D) The Bank of Taiwan was commissioned to manage the Fund of the Bank’s defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Fund’s
annual investment and utilization plan and the “Regulations for Revenues, Expenditures, Safeguard and Utilization of the Labor
Retirement Fund” (Article 6: The scope of utilization for the Fund includes deposit in domestic or foreign financial institutions,
investment in domestic or foreign listed, over-the-counter, or private placement equity securities, investment in domestic or foreign
real estate securitization products, etc.), and the performance of fund utilization is supervised by the Labor Funds Supervisory
Committee. With regard to the utilization of the Fund, its minimum earnings in the annual distributions on the final financial
statements shall be no less than the earnings attainable from the amounts accrued from two-year time deposits with the interest rates
offered by local banks. If the earnings is less than aforementioned rates, government shall make payment for the deficit after being
authorized by the Regulator. The Bank has no right to participate in managing and operating that fund and hence the Bank is unable
to disclose the classification of plan asset fair value in accordance with IAS 19 paragraph 142. The composition of fair value of plan
assets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 is given in the Annual Labor Retirement Fund Utilization Report announced by the
government.
(E) The principal actuarial assumptions used were as follows:
2016 2015
Discount rate 1.00% 1.25%
Rate of future salary increases 2.00% 2.00%

Assumptions regarding future mortality rate are set based on the 5th Chart of Life Span Estimate Used by the Taiwan Life Insurance
Enterprises.
Because the main actuarial assumption changed, the present value of defined benefit obligation is affected. The analysis was as
follows:
Discount rate Rate of future salary increases
Increase 0.25% Decrease 0.25% Increase 0.25% Decrease 0.25%
(In NT Thousand Dollars)
December 31, 2016
Effect on present value of defined
benefit obligation ($ 396,082 ) $ 370,000 $ 365,391 ($ 353,712 )

Discount rate Rate of future salary increases


Increase 0.25% Decrease 0.25% Increase 0.25% Decrease 0.25%
(In US Thousand Dollars)
December 31, 2016
Effect on present value of defined
benefit obligation ($ 12,298 ) $ 11,489 $ 11,345 ($ 10,983 )

Discount rate Rate of future salary increases


Increase 0.25% Decrease 0.25% Increase 0.25% Decrease 0.25%
(In NT Thousand Dollars)
December 31, 2015
Effect on present value of defined
benefit obligation ($ 363,207 ) $ 377,445 $ 373,683 ($ 361,456 )

The sensitivity analysis above is based on other conditions that are unchanged but only one assumption is changed. In practice, more

NT$420,000 thousand.
(G) As of December 31, 2016, the weighted average duration of that retirement plan is 8.88 years.
B. Defined contribution plans
(A) Effective July 1, 2005, the Bank has established a funded defined contribution pension plan (the “New Plan”) under the Labor Pension
Act (the “Act”). Employees have the option to be covered under the New Plan. Under the New Plan, the Bank contributes monthly
an amount based on 6% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the employees’ individual pension accounts at the Bureau
of Labor Insurance. The payment of pension benefits is based on the employees’ individual pension fund accounts and the cumulative
profit in such accounts, and the employees can choose to receive such pension benefits monthly or in lump sum.

(B) The pension costs under the defined contribution pension plan for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were NT$88,147
thousand and NT$83,678 thousand, respectively. For employees working overseas, pension expenses under defined contribution
plans are recognized according to the respective local regulations. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, pension
expenses were NT$23,093 thousand and NT$21,205 thousand, respectively.

C. The Bank’s payment obligations of fixed-amount preferential savings of retired employees and current employees after retirement are in
compliance with the internal “Rules Governing Pension Preferential Savings of Staff of Mega International Commercial Banks”. The
excessive interest arising from the interest rate upon retirement agreed with the employees in excess of general market interest rate should
be accounted for in accordance with IAS 19, “Employee Benefits”.

~66~

Mega ICBC 66
special reserve, reversal of distributed earnings shall be based on the proportion of the original ratio of special reserve provision in

be distributed based on the reversal proportion.

1% of income after taxes as special reserve. Starting from the 2017 accounting year, public banks may reverse an amount of the
aforementioned special reserve commensurate to employee termination or arrangement expenditures resulting from the
development of financial technology.

(23) Retained earnings and dividend policies


A. The current year’s earnings, if any, shall first be used to pay all taxes and offset prior year’s operating loss, and the remaining amount
should then be set aside as legal reserve and special reserve in accordance with provisions under the applicable laws and regulations. The
remaining earnings plus prior year’s accumulated unappropriated earnings are subject to the Board of Directors’ proposal for a distribution
plan and approval by the stockholders at the Ordinary Stockholders’ Meeting.
B. The legal reserve is to be used exclusively to offset any deficit or to increase capital by issuing new shares or distribute cash dividends
according to original shareholders in proportion to the number of shares being held by each of them and is not to be used for any other

7. FAIR VALUE INFORMATION OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


( 1 ) Overview
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date. Financial instruments are recorded at fair value upon their initial recognition, where often fair value refers to the
transaction price; for subsequent measurements, other than a portion of financial instruments being measured at amortized cost, fair value is
elected for measurements. The best evidence for fair value is a public quote in an active market. If the market of a financial instrument is not
active, the Bank elects valuation techniques or references Bloomberg or the quotes of counterparties to measure the fair value of the financial
instrument. In addition, through the valuation process, information on the counterparty’s and the Bank’s credit risk is also considered.
( 2 ) Fair value information of financial instruments
Except for those listed in the table below, the carrying amounts of certain financial instruments held by the Bank and its subsidiaries (such as
cash and cash equivalents, due from the Central Bank and call loans to banks, bills and bonds purchased under resale agreement, receivables,
bills discounted and loans, held-to-maturity financial assets-Central Bank’s certificates of deposits, due to the Central Bank and other banks,
funds borrowed from the Central Bank and other banks, bills and bonds sold under repurchase agreements, accounts payable, deposits and
remittances, financial bonds payable, and other financial liabilities) are approximate to their fair values (please refer to Note 7(5)). The fair
value information of financial instruments measured at fair value is provided in Note 7(6).

( 3 ) Financial instruments measured at fair value
If the market quotation from the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation, brokers, underwriters, Industrial Trade Unions, pricing service agencies
or competent authorities can be frequently obtained on time, and the price represents the actual and frequent transactions at arm’s length, then
a financial instrument is deemed to have an active market. If the above condition cannot be met, the market is deemed inactive. In general,
significant price variance between the purchase price and selling price, significantly increasing price variance or extremely low trading volume
are all indicators of an inactive market.
If the quoted market price of a financial instrument is available in an active market, the quoted price is the fair value, usually the fair value is
measured using the market price, interest rate, foreign exchange central parity rate shown in Reuters quotation system, partially using the
quoted prices from Bloomberg, OTC, and the basis for valuation is maintained consistently. If there is no quoted market price for reference,
a valuation technique or quoted price offer by the counterparties will be adopted to measure the fair value. Fair value measured by a valuation
technique is usually estimated by reference to the fair values of other financial instruments with similar terms and characteristics, or by using
cash flows discounting method, or using model calculation based on the market information (such as yield rate curves from OTC, average
interest rate of TAIBOR from Reuters) available on the balance sheet date.
When assessing non-standardized financial instruments with lower complexity, derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swap
contracts, foreign exchange swap contracts, options, the Bank and its subsidiaries use valuation techniques and models which are extensively
used by the market to estimate their fair value. The parameters used in the valuation model for these kinds of financial instruments usually
use the observable information as the input.
For more complicated financial instruments, such as debt instruments with embedded derivative instruments or securitization products, the
Bank and its subsidiaries develop its own valuation models to estimate fair value by reference to the valuation techniques and methods which
are extensively used by the same trade. Parts of parameters used in these valuation models are not observable from the market; they must be
estimated by using some assumptions.
A. NTD Central Government Bond: the yield rates across different contract length and one-hundred price bulletined by Over-The-Counter
(hereinafter OTC) are used.
B. NTD corporate bonds, financial debentures, government bonds, bond-type beneficiary securities and designated financial debentures issued
by the Bank and its subsidiaries: the present value of future estimated cash flows is calculated by using the yield rate curve.
C. NTD short-term bills and NTD bill-type beneficiary securities: the present value of future estimated cash flows of NTD and USD short-
term bills is calculated by using average interest rate of TAIBOR and TAIFX3 central parity rate from Reuters, respectively.
D. Foreign securities: quoted prices from Bloomberg are adopted.
E. Listed stock: the closing price being listed in TSE is adopted.
F. Emerging stock: If the objective recently has representative trading, its trading price might be the best estimate of its fair value. If the
objective has comparable listed trades, its fair value can be estimated by using appropriate market method, such as P/E method, P/B method,
EV/EBIT method or EBITDA×EV method, taking into account the operation condition of the comparable listed companies, most recent
one month trading information and its liquidity. And if the objective has no comparable instruments or its fair value cannot be estimated
using market method, other valuation technique, such as net assets method or income approach, is used to estimate its fair value.
G. Funds: net assets value is adopted.
H. Derivative financial instruments:
(A) Foreign exchange forward contract, currency swaps, forward rate agreement, interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps: the
discounting future cash flow is adopted.
(B) Options: Black-Scholes model is mainly adopted for valuation.
(C) Some structured derivative financial instruments are valued by using Bloomberg.
(D) Some foreign-currency derivatives are valued by using the quoted prices from Bloomberg.
( 4 ) Credit risk value adjustment
A. Credit risk value adjustments can be primarily classified as either credit value adjustments or debit value adjustments. The definitions are
as follows:
(A) Credit value adjustments refer to adjustments through fair value, which reflect the possibility that a counterparty may default on
repayments and that an entity may not be able to recover, in full, the market value, for transactions in non-centralized markets (i.e.
valuation adjustments on derivative contracts traded over-the-counter).
(B) Debit value adjustments refer to adjustments through fair value, which reflect the possibility that the Bank may default on
repayments and that the Bank may not be able to pay, in full, the market value, for transactions in non-centralized markets (i.e.
valuation adjustments on derivative contracts traded over-the-counter).
B. The Bank and its subsidiaries has incorporated credit risk value adjustments in the considerations for calculating the fair value of financial
instruments in order to respectively reflect the counterparty’s credit risk and the Bank’s and its subsidiaries’ credit quality.
( 5 ) Financial instruments not measured at fair value through profit or loss
A. In relation to cash and cash equivalents, bills and bonds purchased under resale agreements, due from the Central Bank and call loans to
banks, receivables, refundable deposits, due to the Central Bank and commercial banks, funds borrowed from the Central Bank and other
banks, bills and bonds sold under repurchase agreements, payables and deposits received, the book value of the financial instruments
which have a short maturity period will be considered as their fair value. While the maturities are quite closed or the future payment or
receipt is closed to the carrying amount, the carrying amount at the consolidated balance sheet date is used to estimate the fair value.

~74~

Mega ICBC 74
B . Interest rates of the Bank and its subsidiaries’ bills discounted and loans (including non-performing loans) are generally based on the
benchmark interest rate plus or minus certain adjustment to reflect the market interest rate. Thus, their fair values are based on the book
value after adjustments of estimated recoverability. Fair values for long-term loans with fixed interest rates shall be estimated using their
discounted values of expected future cash flows. However, as such loans account for only a small portion of all loans, book value was
used to estimate the fair value.
C. When held-to-maturity financial assets have a quoted market price available in an active market, the fair value is determined using the
market price. If there is no quoted market price for reference, a valuation technique or quoted price offer by the counterparties will be
adopted to measure the fair value.
D. The fair value of deposits and remittances are represented by the book value.
E. The coupon rate of convertible bonds and bank debentures issued by the Bank and its subsidiaries is equivalent to market interest rate;
therefore, fair value estimated based on the present value of future cash flows is equivalent to book value.
F. For other financial assets, such as investments in debt instruments without active market and financial assets measured at cost, as they
have no quoted price in active market and their valuation results by using different valuation methods are significantly different, their fair
value cannot be measured reliably and is not disclosed here.
( 6 ) Level information of financial instrument at fair value
A. Three definitions of the Bank and its subsidiaries’ financial instruments at fair value
(A) Level 1
Level 1 is quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market refers to a market in which
transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing
basis. The Bank and its subsidiaries’ investment in listed stock, beneficiary certificates, popular Taiwan government bonds and the
derivatives with a quoted price in an active market are deemed as Level 1.
(B) Level 2
Level 2 inputs are observable prices other than quoted prices included in Level 1, including observable direct (e.g. prices) or indirect
(e.g. those inferred prom prices) inputs in an active market. The Bank and its subsidiaries’ investments in non-popular government
bonds, corporate bonds, bank debentures, convertible bonds, derivative instruments and corporate bonds issued by the Bank and its
subsidiaries belong to this category.
(C) Level 3
Level 3 inputs are inputs for assets or liabilities that are unobservable in the market (unobservable inputs, e.g. option pricing model
using history volatility rate, because history volatility rate cannot represent the expectation value of market participants for future
volatility rate).

8. MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICY FOR FINANCIAL RISK
( 1 ) Overview
The Bank and its subsidiaries earn profits mainly from lending, financial instruments trading and investments. The Bank and its subsidiaries
are supposed to bear and manage any risks from these business activities. These risks include credit risk, market risk, operating risk and
liquidity risk. Among those risks, credit risk, market risk and liquidity risk have greatest impact.
The Bank and its subsidiaries regard any potential factors that might negatively affect earnings and reputation as risks. To maintain steady
profits and good reputation and avoid losses from incidental events, the Bank and its subsidiaries’ risk management policies focus on
prevention and reduction of anticipated business risks and increase of capital in response to future anticipated risks. In order to meet the solid
operating requirements by the competent authorities, depositors and other stakeholders for management objectives for risks, business risks
are controlled within the tolerable scope.
( 2 ) The organization framework of risk management
The Bank and its subsidiaries established risk management policies and guidelines and whole risk tolerance of the group. Subsidiaries therefore
follow the Bank’s instructions in setting risk management organization, policies, objectives, procedures, internal control operation, risk
monitor mechanism and risk limits, and report to the parent company on risk management issues.
The Board of Directors is the highest instruction unit of the Bank and its subsidiaries’ risk management organization structure and is
responsible for establishing risk management system, including risk management policies, organization structure, risk preference, internal
control system and management of significant business cases.
Under the head office, the Risk Management Committee is established. The Risk Management Committee is responsible for review and
monitor of risk management. Under the management, several committees and other administrative units are established. They are responsible
for assessing and monitoring the related risk of loans, investments, trading of financial products.
The Bank has the Risk Management Committee established beneath its management, which is responsible for supervising the establishment
of risk management mechanism, risk limits setting, risk monitoring and reporting. Each business management unit is responsible for
identifying possible risks that may be generated within their respective jurisdictions, establishing internal control procedures and regulations,
periodically measuring risk degrees and adopting response measures for possible negative effects.
Business units follow operating procedures and report to the management units directly. Risk management unit is responsible for monitor of
overall risk positions and concentration and reporting to the management or Board of Directors.
Auditing office examines the operations of business and administration units regularly or irregularly to ensure the three risk management
defense lines operate normally.
The Bank has assigned personnel to sit on the Board of Directors of each subsidiary to monitor the governance of each subsidiary.
( 3 ) Cred it risk
A. The source and definition of credit risk
Credit risk pertains to the risk of loss that the borrowers, issuers or counterparties might default on contracts due to deterioration in their
finance or other factors.
The Bank and its subsidiaries are exposed to credit risk mainly on businesses of corporate and individual loans, guarantees, trade financing,
interbank deposits and call loans and securities investments.
Credit risk is the primary risk of the Bank and its subsidiaries’ capital charge.
B. Credit risk management policies
The objectives of the Bank and its subsidiaries’ credit risk management are to maintain stable asset allocation strategy, careful loaning
policy and excellent asset quality to secure assets and earnings.
The management mechanism of the Bank and its subsidiaries for credit risk includes:
The establishment of Risk Management, Loan and Investment committees which adopt responding measures to market environment,
changes in industry, and capital limits, and review relevant regulations and cases of significant lending and investments.
Setting careful prior review procedures for lending and criteria of handling subsequent matters, regular post-lending follow-up,
understanding of clients’ operation and capital outflows, and increase in the frequency of review on clients with higher risk.
Classifying credit ratings based on clients’ probability of default or behavior scoring with management put in practice.

~77~

77 Annual Report 2016


Controlling concentration of credit risk by setting credit limits for individuals, corporate groups, industries, areas, and different types of
collaterals.
Setting credit risk limits by reference to external ratings and prospects with attention to changes in market credit spread and risk
concentration of counterparties.
The establishment of credit pre-warning list and reporting system.
Assessing assets quality regularly and setting aside sufficient reserve for losses.
Setting creditor’s rights management unit and advisory committee in charge of accelerating collection of non-performing loans.
The procedures for credit risk management of the Bank and its subsidiaries and related measurement approaches are outlined below:
(A) Credit extensions
Classification of credit assets and internal risk ratings are as follows:
a. Classification of credit assets
Corporate credit risk is measured by using the borrower’s default probability model with logistic regression analysis in which
financial and non-financial factors are incorporated, which predicts the default probability of borrower within the next year.
Besides, the extent of risk is measured by using credit rating table and taking into account the characteristics and scale of
business. Lending examination and post management are dealt with based on clients’ credit rating. Individual borrowers are
grouped into different risk levels and managed by using application scoring and behavior scoring cards. Back-testing is
conducted on internal models regularly; those models are subject to adjustments when necessary. Clients’ credit ratings are
reviewed annually and subject to adjustments when there is significant change in their credit ratings.
b. Internal risk rating
The internal rating for lending is classified as excellent, satisfactory, fair and weak, and corresponds to the Standard & Poor’s
rating as follows:
Internal risk rating Excellent Satisfactory Fair Weak
Corresponding to S&P AAA~BBB- BB+~ BB- B+ B and below
(B) Interbank deposits and call loans
Before trading with other banks, the Bank and its subsidiaries must assess the credit of the counterparty; generally referencing
external rating agencies, assets and scale of equity of the counterparty, and the credit rating of the counterparty’s country of origin
in order to set different transaction limits, as well as periodically examining the ratings and changes in stock prices of the
counterparty in order to monitor the risks of counterparty.
(C) Bonds and derivative instruments
The limits of bonds purchased by the Bank and its subsidiaries are set by considering the credit rating of bond issuers or guarantors
(ex. S&P, Moody’s, Fitch, Taiwan ratings or Fitch Taiwan), which needs to meet the minimum rating set by the Board of (Managing)
Directors, and country risk at the application, changes in CDS quoted prices and market condition.
The Bank and its subsidiaries have set trading units and overall total risk limit for non-hedging derivative instruments, and use
positive trading contract evaluation and the potential exposure as the basis for calculating credit risk and add the limit to the total
credit risk limit for monitoring.
(D) Asset quality
The Bank and its subsidiaries have set the minimum requirements and examination procedures for the quality of financial assets of
each type, and controls risk concentration of assets portfolios of each type based on the risk limit of each type. The Bank and its
subsidiaries also monitor the changes in assets quality regularly during the duration of the assets and takes measures to maintain
their quality. According to the policies and regulations, reserve for losses is provided adequately for those assets to actually reflect
and safeguard the value of owners’ equity.
(E) Impairment of financial assets and provision for reserves
The Bank and its subsidiaries assess at each balance sheet date whether a financial asset is impaired. If there is objective evidence
that an event that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset has an impact on the future cash flows of the financial asset, the
impairment loss on the financial asset should be recognized.
The objective evidence of an impairment loss is as follows:
Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;
The issuer or debtor has breached the contract;
The Creditor, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, granted the borrower a concession;
It becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;
The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties; or observable data indicating that
there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a group of financial assets since the initial recognition of
those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial asset in the group, including:
Adverse changes are in the payment status of borrowers in the group; or adverse changes in national or local economic conditions
that correlate with defaults on the assets in the group.

~78~

Mega ICBC 78
Financial assets that are not impaired are included in the group of financial assets sharing similar credit risk characteristics for
collective assessment. Financial assets that are assessed individually with impairment recognized need not be included in the
collective assessment.
The amount of the impairment loss is the difference between the financial assets’ book value and the estimated future cash flow
discounted using the original effective interest rate. The present value of estimated future cash flows must reflect the cash flows
that might generate from collaterals less acquisition or selling cost regarding the collateral.
Financial assets through collective assessment are grouped based on similar credit risk characteristics, such as types of assets,
industry and collaterals. Such credit risk characteristics represent the ability of the debtors to pay all the amounts at maturities
according to the contract term, which is related to future cash flows of group of financial assets. The future cash flows of group of
financial assets for collective assessment are estimated based on historical impairment experience, reflecting the change in
observable data for each period, and the estimation of the future cash flows should move in the same direction. The Bank and its
subsidiaries review the assumptions and methods for estimation of the future cash flows regularly.
For loan loss provision and guarantee reserve, the Bank and its subsidiaries have established the regulations for assets assessment
and loss reserve. According to the regulations of the Financial Supervisory Commission for banks, bills companies and insurance
companies, all assets in balance sheets and off balance sheets are classified as five categories. For credit assets on balance sheets
and off balance sheets, in addition to normal credit assets which shall be classified as "Category One", the remaining unsound credit
assets that required special attention shall be evaluated based on the status of the creditor’s the length of time overdue financial
situation, and loan collaterals, and classified as "Category Two". Assets that are substandard shall be classified as "Category Three".
Assets that are doubtful shall be classified as "Category Four", and assets for which there is loss shall be classified as "Category
Five". "Category Two" to "Category Five" shall be assessed one by one for possible loss and set aside sufficient loss provision.
And loss provision shall be also set aside for "Category One" proportionately in accordance with regulations of competent
authorities.
C. Policies of hedging and mitigation of credit risk
To reduce credit risk, the Bank and it subsidiaries adopt the following policies:
(A) Obtaining collaterals and guarantors
The Bank and its subsidiaries have established policies on collateral management, mortgage loan line setting, scope of collaterals,
collateral valuation, collateral management and disposal. Besides, protection of creditor’s right, collateral terms and offsetting terms
are all addressed in the credit extension contract in case of any occurrence of credit event, of which the amount may be deductible,
loan repayment schedule may be shortened or deemed as matured, or the debtor’s deposits can be used to offset its liabilities to
mitigate credit risks.
(B) Loan limit control
To avoid extreme credit risk concentration, subsidiaries established policies for control of credit risk concentration and set up credit
extension limit for a single individual, a single group, a single industry, a single area/country, and single collateral.
(C) Master netting arrangements
The Bank’s and its subsidiaries’ transactions predominantly settle at gross amount. A portion of transactions have entered into master
netting arrangements with counterparties or upon the event of a default may cease all transactions with the counterparties and settle
by net amount in order to further reduce credit risk.
(D) Other credit enhancements
The Bank and its subsidiaries have offsetting terms within their credit contracts, which clearly define that all deposits in the Bank
and its subsidiaries from debtors may be offset against their liabilities upon a credit event, and have guarantees from third parties or
financial institutions, in order to decrease credit risk.
D. Maximum credit risk exposure
The maximum credit risk exposure of financial assets within the balance sheets is presented in book values. The maximum credit risk
exposure of guarantees and irrevocable commitments off balance sheets is calculated based on their limits. Letters of credit and the
guarantee refer to those issued but not used.
(A) The maximum credit risk exposure of financial assets of the Bank and its subsidiaries excluding collaterals or other credit
enhancement instruments is approximately equal to book value. The maximum exposure to credit risk of items off balance sheet is
listed below:

(1)Value of collaterals pledged for assets that arise from lending is the lower of collateral value/ market value and maximum exposure
amount. If the collateral value cannot be btained, value of collaterals must be assessed.
(2)Value of collaterals pledged for assets that do not arise from lending is the lower of market value and maximum exposure amount.
Note 2: Details of improvement to net settlement master netting arrangements and other credits are provided in Note 8(3) C. (C) and C. (D).
E. Credit risk concentration
Extreme credit risk concentration will enhance risk degree, such as large amount of risk exposure concentrated on one credit product,
one client, or minor clients, or a group of clients in the same industry or with similar business or in the same area or with the same risk
characteristics. When adverse economic changes occur, a financial institution may incur a significant loss.
To avoid extreme credit risk concentration, the Bank and its subsidiaries have regulated credit limit and management rules for single
client, single business group and large amount of risk exposure. The Bank and its subsidiaries have to monitor and control the credit risk
concentration within the limit. Status of credit risk concentration must be shown in the regular risk report by industry, area/country,
collateral and other forms.

(B) The Bank and its subsidiaries’ aging analysis of financial assets that were past due but not impaired
Financial assets might be past due but not impaired due to borrower’s processing delay or other administrative reasons. According
to subsidiaries’ internal management rules for assets assessment, financial assets which are past due within 90 days are not regarded
as impaired unless there is objective evidence that the financial assets are impaired. There are very few conditions where financial
assets are past due over 90 days but not impaired.

(4) Liquidity risk
A. Definition and sources of liquidity risk
The Bank and its subsidiaries define liquidity risk as the risk of financial loss to the Bank and its subsidiaries arising from default by
any companies of financial instruments on the payment obligations. For example, the companies are default on payment obligations,
such as withdrawals paid to depositors and loans repayment. Or, the company is unable to obtain funds within a certain period at
reasonable cost in response to increased demand for assets.
B. Procedures for liquidity risk management and measurement of liquidity risk
The Bank and its subsidiaries are mainly engaged in industry related to finance. Therefore, the management for capital liquidity is very
important to the Bank and its subsidiaries. The objectives for liquidity risk management are (a) Meet the liquidity index regulation (b)
Maintain reasonable liquidity based on business development plans, ensure capability of daily payment obligations and meet business
growth requirements with adequate highly-liquid assets and capability of raising funds from others in case of emergency.
The financial department of the Bank and its subsidiaries is responsible for daily capital liquidity management. According to the limits
authorized by the Board of (Managing) Directors, the Bank and its subsidiaries monitor the indexes of liquidity risk, execute capital
procurement trading and report the conditions of capital liquidity to the management. The Bank and its subsidiaries also reports the
liquidity risk control to the Fund Management Committee, Risk Management Committee and the Board of (Managing) Directors
regularly, and performs regular liquidity stress-testing to ensure sufficient capital to meet the funding requirements for increase in assets
and payment obligations.
The Bank and its subsidiaries daily perform intensive control over capital sources and the period for fund gaps and liquidity risk
management. Future cash flows are estimated based on the financial liability contracts due date and expected cash collection date of
financial assets. The Bank and its subsidiaries also take into account the extent of practical utilization of capital in contingent liabilities
such as use of loan limits, guarantees and commitments.
Assets used to pay obligations and loan commitments including cash and cash equivalents, due from the Central Bank and call loans to
other banks, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, bills and bonds purchased under resale agreement, receivables, bills
discounted and loans, available-for-sale financial assets, held-to-maturity financial assets, and other financial assets are held in response
to unexpected cash outflows.
The liquidity management policies of the Bank and its subsidiaries include:
(A) Maintain the ability to perform all payment obligations immediately.
(B) Maintain solid assets/liabilities structure to ensure medium and long-term liquidity safety.
(C) Diversify capital sources and absorb stable core depositors to avoid depending on certain large-sum depositors.
(D) Avoid potential unknown loss risk which will increase capital cost and capital procurement pressure.
(E) Conduct due date management to ensure that cash inflow is greater than cash outflow in short term.
(F) Keep liquidity ratio.
(G) Keep legal ratio for high-quality, high-liquidity assets.
(H) Be aware of the liquidity, safety and diversity of financial instruments.
(I) The Bank and its subsidiaries have capital emergency plans, which are reviewed regularly.
(J) The overseas branches of the Bank and its subsidiaries must obey the regulations of R.O.C. and the local supervisory authorities.
Otherwise, they will be penalized for violation of these regulations.
C. Maturity date analysis for non-derivative financial assets and liabilities
The table below lists analysis for cash inflow and outflow of the non-derivative financial assets and liabilities held by the Bank and its
subsidiaries for liquidity risk management based on the remaining period at the financial reporting date to the contractual maturity date.

( 5 ) Market risk
A. Definition of market risk
Market risk refers the potential losses of the Bank’s and its subsidiaries’ on-balance-sheet and off-balance-sheet positions due to the Bank
and its subsidiaries enduring fluctuations of market prices (for example: fluctuations of market interest, exchange rates, stock prices and
price of products).
B. Objective of market risk management
The objective of the Bank’s and its subsidiaries’ market risk management is to confine risks within a tolerable scope to avoid the
fluctuations of financial product prices impacting future returns and the values of assets and liabilities.
C. Market risk management policies and procedures
The Board of (Managing) Directors decided the risk tolerant limits, position limits, and loss limits. Market risk management comprises
trading book control and banking book control. Trading book operation mainly pertains to the positions held by bills and securities firms
due to market making. Policies for financial instrument trading of bank are based on back-to-back operation principle. Banking book is
based on held-to-maturity principle and adopts hedging measures.
D. Procedures for market risk management
(A) The Bank’s objectives of market risk management are respectively proposed by The Treasury Department and Risk Management
Department, and then Risk Management Department summarizes and reports these objectives to Risk Management Committee of
Mega Financial Holdings and the Bank’s Board of Directors for assessment.
(B) Risk Management Department not only prepares statement of market risk position and profit and loss of various financial instruments
but regularly compiles securities investment performance evaluation and reports to the Board of (Managing) Directors for the
Board’s knowledge of the Bank’s risk control over securities investment. Risk Management Department summarizes and analyzes
information on a daily basis. Besides, Risk Management Department monthly summarizes and analyzes data collected from positions
of various financial instruments, profit and loss assessment, analysis on risk-sensitive factors, and stress testing for senior
management’s knowledge of the Bank’s market risk exposure profile.

~95~

95 Annual Report 2016


E. Market risk measurement and control principle
(A) The Bank’s market risk report contains interest rate, exchange rate, positions of equity securities, credit default swap (CDS) and
profit and loss assessment. Every transaction has limit and stop-loss provisions, which shall be submitted to approval management
in accordance with the Bank’s regulations. Stop-loss limit shall be implemented as soon as a transaction reaches the threshold. If no
stop-loss limit will be implemented, trading units shall immediately make statement about reasons to not implement stop-loss limit
and coping plan, which shall be submitted to senior management for approval and reported to the Board of (Managing) Directors
regularly.
(B) Non-hedging trading positions of derivative financial instruments are daily assessed based on the market value, whereas hedging
trading positions of futures are daily assessed and others are assessed twice a month.
(C) SUMMIT information system and DW information system for market risk provides functions in relation to risk management such
as real-time limits, profit and loss assessment, analysis on risk-sensitive factors, stress testing, etc.
F. Policies and procedures of trading-book risk management
The Bank and its subsidiaries daily monitor trading-book positions, changes in risk exposures, and various risk limits, including trading
rooms, traders and product line risk limits.
If trading-book financial instruments have market price, the valuation of those instruments is conducted at least one time daily using the
independent source and available information. If using mathematical model valuation, the assumptions and parameters used in the model
are reviewed regularly.
The method of risk measurement is sensitivity analysis.
The Bank and its subsidiaries conduct stress test on the positions of its interest rate, equity securities, foreign exchange rate products and
credit default swap (CDS) on the assumptions of the monthly change in interest rate, securities market index, foreign exchange rate and
CDS by 1%, 15%, 3% and 100 base points, respectively, and reports to the Risk Management Committee.
G. Trading-book interest rate risk management
Trading-book interest rate risk refers to the financial loss of the decline in values of interest rate products held due to unfavorable changes
in interest rates, including securities and derivatives with interest.
The Bank and its subsidiaries interest rate products are traded mainly for hedging.
The trading group screens the credits and financial positions of issuers and selects investment objectives by judging interest rate trend and
a variety of country risks and based on the authorized minimum investment criteria. The Bank and its subsidiaries set trading-book trading
limits and stop-loss limits (including trading rooms, traders, trading products, counterparties, and daily and overnight limits) based on
business strategies and market conditions, and measure monthly the extent of impact of interest rate risk on investment portfolios using
DV01 value.
H. Banking book interest rate risk management
Banking book interest rate risk mainly comes from the unmatched maturity dates of assets and liabilities or price resetting dates, and
inconsistent changes in base interest rates for assets and liabilities. The Bank and its subsidiaries’ interest rate risk mainly comes from the
unmatched periods of interest-rate sensitive assets and liabilities of the Bank and its subsidiaries.
As the Bank and its subsidiaries have interest-rate sensitive gaps, market interest rate fluctuations have good or bad impacts on the Bank
and its subsidiaries’ earnings and cash flows.
The Bank and its subsidiaries manage Banking book interest rate risk by using repricing gap analysis. The interest-rate repricing gap
analysis is to estimate the difference between the assets and liabilities with interest bearing that are to be due near or repriced within a
certain period and measure the impact of interest rate change on net interest revenue. The analysis assumes assets and liabilities structure
remain unchanged and there are parallel movements of interest rate curves, and excludes the customer behavior, basis risk, option
characteristics of early repayment of bonds. The Bank and its subsidiaries calculate the change in net interest revenue for this year and
also monitor the percentage of change in net interest revenue to the projection of net interest revenue for this year.
The Bank and its subsidiaries monthly analyze and monitor interest rate risk positions limits and various interest rate risk management
indexes. If any risk management index exceeds limit, the Bank and its subsidiaries will adopt responding measures and report the analysis
and monitoring results to the Fund Management Committee, the Risk Management Committee and the Board of Directors.
I. Foreign exchange risk management
Foreign exchange risk refers to the losses caused by the exchange of two different currencies at different times. The Bank and its
subsidiaries’ foreign exchange risk mainly comes from its derivative instruments business such as spot foreign exchange, forward foreign
exchange and foreign exchange options. The foreign exchange trading of the Bank and its subsidiaries are mainly for offsetting customers’
positions on the same day; therefore, foreign exchange risk is relatively low.
To control trading-book foreign exchange risk, subsidiaries have set trading limits and stop-loss limits for trading rooms and traders and
also set the annual maximum loss limits to control the losses within the tolerable scopes.

K. Risk management for equity securities
Due to needs of proprietary, make market and tactic, etc., the Bank held equity securities within the regulations of the law. That market
risk comprises the risk of individual equity security arising from the security’s market price changes and the general market risk arising
from overall equity securities market price changes.
The investment operating group mainly selects blue chip stocks which have high liquidity and sets the investment price according to
fundamentals and market transactions. After the investment has been approved by the investment deliberation committee, the operational
personnel purchase the stock within the maximum percentage of the approved price, as the case may be.
Daily trading records, details of investment portfolios and overview of profit or loss shall report to the management and measurement of
the extent of the impact of systematic risk on investment portfolios using β value monthly. The Bank and its subsidiaries generally set a
stop loss, stop interest, pre-warning and exception handling requirements, and limit control to held individual stock and industry
concentration.

( 6 ) Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities
The Bank and its subsidiaries have engaged in financial instrument transactions that apply the offsetting requirements in Paragraph 42 of IAS
32 as endorsed by the FSC. Financial assets and financial liabilities related to these transactions are reported at net amount on the balance
sheet.
The Bank and its subsidiaries have also engaged in offsetting terms that do not conform to the IFRSs. However, they have entered into
enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements with counterparties. For example: global master repurchase agreements or
similar repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements. When the above-mentioned enforceable master netting arrangements or similar
agreements are elected by both parties to be settled by net amount, settlements may be made by using the net amount after the offsetting of
financial assets and financial liabilities. Conversely if no such arrangements are made, settlements are made using the gross amount. However,
upon the event of a default of a party, the counterparty may choose settle by net amount.
The following table lists information related to the above-mentioned offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities:
