These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to issue an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” of the Republic of China. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statements presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements audited by us present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fubon Financial Holding Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the six-month periods then ended, in conformity with the “Principles for Compiling the Financial Statements of Financial Holding Companies”, the related financial accounting standards of the “Business Entity Accounting Act” and of the “Regulation on Business Entity Accounting Handling”, and Republic of China generally accepted accounting principles. August 10, 2010 Note to Reader The accompanying consolidated financial statements are intended only to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with the accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdictions. The standards, procedures and practices to audit such consolidated financial statements are those generally accepted and applied in the Republic of China. The auditors’ report and the accompanying financial statements are the English translation of the Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between, or any difference in the interpretation of, the English and Chinese language auditors’ report and financial statements, the Chinese version shall prevail.

    China Development Financial Holding Corporation and Subsidiaries Consolidated Financial Statements for the Years Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and Independent Auditors’ Report INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT The Board of Directors and Stockholders China Development Financial Holding Corporation We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of China Development Financial Holding Corporation (the “Corporation”) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. However, we did not audit the financial statements of Taiwan International Securities Corporation, an equity-method investee of both the Corporation and subsidiaries, which reflect the investments that were 2.04% (NT$5,883,366 thousand) and 1.96% (NT$5,677,095 thousand) of the consolidated assets as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. On this equity-method investment, there were a gain of NT$228,149 thousand and a loss of NT$692,251 thousand, which were 3.45% and 9.20%, respectively, of the consolidated income (loss) before income tax for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. This investee’s statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our report, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Taiwan International Securities Corporation, is based solely on the report of the other auditors. We conducted our audits in accordance with the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial Statements of Financial Institutions by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China.

  • 27 the China Factor in Taiwan
    Wu Jieh-min, 2016, “The China Factor in Taiwan: Impact and Response”, pp. 425-445 in Gunter Schubert ed., Handbook of T Modern Taiwan Politics and Society, Routledge. 27 THE CHINA FACTOR IN TAIWAN Impact and response Jieh-Min Wu* Since the turn of the century, the rise of China has inspired global a1nbitions and heightened international anxiety. Though Chinese influence is not a ne\V factor in the international geo­ political syste1n, the synergy between China's growing purchasing po\ver and its political \vill is dra\ving increasing attention on the world stage. With China's e111ergence as a global econontic powerhouse and the Chinese state's extraction of massive revenues and tremendous foreign reserves, Beijing has learned to flex these financial 1nuscles globally in order to achieve its polit­ ical goals. Essentially, the rise of China has enabled the PRC to speed up its n1ilitary moderniza­ tion and adroitly co1nbine econonllc measures and 'united front \Vork' in pursuit of its national interests. Hence Taiwan, whose sovereignty continues to be contested by the PRC, has been heavily i1npacted by China's new strategy. The Chinese ca1npaign kno\vn as 'using business to steer politics' has arguably been success­ ful in achieving inany of the effects desired by Beijing. For exan1ple, the Chinese government has repeatedly leveraged Taiwan's trade and econonllc dependence to intervene in Taiwan's elections. Such econonllc dependence n1ay constrain Taiwanese choices within a structure of Beijing's creation. In son1e historical 1no1nents, however, subjective identity and collect­ ive action could still en1erge as 'independent variables' that open up \Vindo\vs of opportun­ ity, expanding the range of available choices.

Adequate liquidity but with sound banking relationships. Asset concentration risk from its largest single-site complex in Mai-Liao, Taiwan. Deteriorating oversupply conditions could constrain the pace of recovery in the group's performance.

The activities of the Movement culminated in the formation of the New Nation Alliance, a coalition of 32 DPP-candidates, who ran in the December 1989 elections on a joint pro-independence platform. The Alliance posted a major vic- tory when 20 out of the 32 candi- dates were elected. The soft-spoken Mr. Huang (51), a writer and editor, has long been a prominent advocate of political reform and a peaceful transition to an independent Taiwan under a new and democratic government.

  • Formosa Plastics Group Maximizes Refinery Efficiency with Cipherlab 9500 Series
    CASE STUDY CipherLab Customer Spotlight: Formosa Plastics Group Formosa Plastics Group maximizes refinery efficiency with CipherLab 9500 Series Profile Founded in 1954, Formosa Plastics Group has grown to be the largest enterprise in Taiwan with US$16 billion in capital and US$76 billion in assets. With over 40 years of development and expansion, the Group now operates and manages multiple organizations in Taiwan, the United States, China, and Indonesia. A fully diversified, multi-national company, it is also invested in several large educational and medical organizations. The Formosa Petrochemical Corporation refines 21 million tons of oil each year into products including gasoline, jet fuel, and a multitude of other chemicals. That’s 450,000 barrels each day. A highly complex and involved refinery operation runs 24 hours a day, with three shifts of engineers operating and maintaining over 2,000 pieces of equipment and machinery across the plant. Running at optimal efficiency requires careful management and coordination of engineers’ workloads and strict attention to equipment running to exact specifications. Challenges in the human element Maintenance managers schedule and dispatch engineers to check machinery condition, record operating parameters, and report status to the control center. This entire operation was a manual process. Tracking the details of each piece of equipment, completing analysis of the machinery operating efficiency, and responding to the need for service was both time consuming and prone to human error. Paper-based data gathering was inefficient, affecting engineer productivity. Plus, managers could not easily tell where engineers were or what equipment they worked with. Challenges in the chemical element Grease and oil are integral to the petrochemical refining environment.
