1.1 Review of Business Operations in 2012

1.1.1 Global and Domestic Financial Environment The momentum for economic recovery in Taiwan weakened in 2012 under the impact of the lingering European debt crisis, the economic slowdown in the United States, Japan, and mainland China, and other adverse factors. According to data from Global Insight, worldwide economic growth slipped to 2.6% in 2012, down from 3.0% the year before. The Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics fixes Taiwan’s growth rate for the year at 1.26%.

Taiwan Cooperative Financial Holding Co., Ltd. was established on Dec. 1, 2011 with a capitalization of NT$65.968 billion. To conform to Basel III rules and reinforce the capital structure of its subsidiaries, the Company completed a cash capital increase by issuing 1.2 billion ordinary shares in 2012, raising NT$17.72 billion; all of the proceeds were injected into our banking subsidiary, bringing its capital adequacy ratio and Tier 1 capital ratio at the end of the year to 12.63% and 7.60%, respectively. With strenuous business promotion efforts by the staff of all subsidiaries, the Company’s after-tax net profit in 2012 reached NT$7.561 billion, yielding earnings per share (EPS) of NT$1.07. Our banking, bills finance, and asset management subsidiaries all maintained stable profitability; the other three subsidiaries, life insurance, trust investment and securities were still making losses because of the short establishment period and high start-up costs amortization. However, the size of their losses was already shrinking.

With the domestic economy expected to strengthen in 2013, the Company will continue promoting cooperation and joint marketing among its subsidiaries through the strategic financial holding platform and will speed up the pace of deployment in mainland China and abroad while deepening relations with strategic partners. Under the financial holding company framework, we will work to realize the group spirit of mutual assistance and cooperation, create new opportunities, and enhance operating synergies in our ongoing march toward becoming a top financial group in the Asia-Pacific region.

Before-tax net profit for the entire year reached NT$7.554 billion and after- tax net profit amounted to NT$7.561 billion, yielding an EPS of NT$1.07.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Financial Holding Companies, Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Banks, Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms, Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Insurance Enterprises, Business Accounting Law, Guidelines Governing Business Accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the ROC. For the convenience of readers, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the ROC. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language consolidated financial statements shall prevail. The Company’s significant accounting policies are summarized as follows:

Basis of Presentation of Consolidated Financial Statements The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2011 and for the period from December 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011 included the accounts of TCFHC, TCB and its subsidiaries, CAM and its subsidiary, TCBF and TCS. The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 included the accounts of TCFHC, TCB and its subsidiaries, CAM and its subsidiary, TCBF, TCS, BPATLI and BPTAM. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated for consolidation purposes. The accompanying consolidated financial statements also include accounts of TCB’s Head Office, OBU, all domestic and overseas operating departments, branches and representative offices. All interoffice account balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Foreign-currency Transactions The Taiwan Cooperative Bank, Ltd. (TCB) records foreign-currency transactions (except derivative transactions) in the respective currencies in which these are denominated. Every month-end, foreign-currency income and expenses are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the prevailing exchange rates. Except for TCB, the Company records foreign-currency transactions (except derivative transactions) in New Taiwan dollars at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occur. On the balance sheet date, monetary financial assets and liabilities are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the prevailing exchange rates, and exchange differences are recognized in the income statement. Unrealized exchange differences on nonmonetary financial assets (investments in equity instruments) are a component of the change in their entire fair value. For nonmonetary financial assets and liabilities classified as financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss, unrealized exchange differences are recognized in the income statement. For nonmonetary financial instruments that are classified as available- for-sale, unrealized exchange differences are recorded directly under stockholders’ equity until the asset is sold or becomes impaired. Nonmonetary financial instruments that are classified as carried at cost are recognized at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction dates. TCB translates overseas branches’ and the equity- method investees’ financial statements at the following rates: Assets and liabilities - the prevailing exchange rates on the balance sheet date; and income and expenses - the average exchange rate in the year. Translation differences net of income tax are recorded as “cumulative translation adjustments” under stockholders’ equity and will be recognized as gain or loss if overseas branches and equity-method investments are sold or liquidated.

Accounting Estimates In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with these guidelines and principles, the Company is required to make certain estimates and assumptions that could affect the allowance for credit losses, reserves for operations and liabilities, depreciation of properties and nonoperating assets, amortization of intangible assets, pension costs, impairment loss on assets, valuation of financial instruments, bonus to 2012 ANNUAL REPORT

employees, remuneration to directors and supervisors, income tax, accrued litigation loss, etc. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Current and Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities The operating cycle in the financial holding and banking industries cannot be reasonably identified; thus the accounts included in the financial statements of Taiwan Cooperative Financial Holding Co., Ltd., Taiwan Cooperative Bank, Ltd., United Taiwan Bank S.A., Taiwan Cooperative Bills Finance Corporation Ltd. and BNP Paribas Assurance TCB Life Insurance Co., Ltd. are not classified as current or noncurrent. Other subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities are classified as follows: Cash and cash equivalents and those assets to be converted and those consumed within a year are classified as current. Obligations to be liquidated or settled within a year are classified as current. All other assets and liabilities are classified as noncurrent. The consolidated financial statements, however, do not show the classification of current or noncurrent assets/ liabilities because the banking industry accounts for the majority of the consolidated accounts. Thus, accounts in the consolidated financial statements are instead categorized by nature and sequenced by their liquidity. Please refer to Note 36 for the maturity analysis of assets and liabilities.

Regular Way Purchase or Sale of a Financial Asset The Company uses settlement date accounting when recording transactions, except those on beneficial certificates, for which trade date accounting is used. The Company recognizes gain or loss on the sale of financial assets on the settlement date. The changes in fair values between the trade date and the settlement date for purchase of financial assets are recognized by the following methods: (a) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss - credited or charged to current income; (b) available-for-sale financial assets - credited or charged to stockholders’ equity.

Basis of Fair Value Fair values are determined as follows: (a) short-term bills - at reference prices published by the Taiwan Bills Index Rate (TAIBIR) or Reuters; (b) listed securities and GreTai Securities Market (GTSM) securities - at closing prices as of the balance sheet date; (c) beneficial certificates (open-end funds) - at net asset values as of the balance sheet date; (d) bonds - domestic - at period-end reference prices published by the GTSM; (e) securities that are not listed or not traded in the GTSM but have quoted market prices or trading records - at quoted market prices or trading prices; and (f) financial instruments with no active markets - at fair value estimates based on valuation techniques.

Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have values whose changes are not exposed to significant risk.

Financial Instruments at Fair Value through Profit or Loss Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) are financial assets or liabilities that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition and those classified as held for trading. These instruments are initially measured at fair value and are remeasured at fair value on the balance sheet date, with changes in fair value recognized directly in profit or loss in the year in which they arise. Financial instruments used in derivative transactions that do not qualify for hedge accounting is classified as financial assets or liabilities held for trading. If the fair value of a derivative is a positive number, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; otherwise, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability. Applying the fair value option eliminates accounting measurement mismatch for items that naturally offset each other or eliminates the burden of separating embedded derivatives that are not considered to be closely related to the host contract pertaining to a hybrid instrument. The company did not adopt hedge accounting in 2012 and 2011. If the hedged items are not designated as financial assets or liabilities at FVTPL, accounting measurement mismatches on these items will occur as a result of differences in measurement attributes. Thus, the Company designated debt instruments and bank debentures issued as financial assets and liabilities at 41 42 Financial Information

FVTPL.

Available-for-sale Financial Assets Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the asset acquisition. Any difference between the initial carrying amount of a debt security and its amount on maturity is amortized using the effective interest method. However, the straight-line method is used for amortization if there is only a minor difference between the result of using the effective interest method and that of the straight-line method. When assets are subsequently measured at fair value, the changes in fair value are excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The accumulated gains or losses are recognized as earnings when the financial asset is de-recognized from the balance sheet. Cash dividends received on earnings generated before investment acquisition are recognized as a reduction of the original investment cost and are subsequently recognized as investment income up on the stockholders’ resolution. Stock dividends received are recorded as an increase in the number of shares held and do not affect investment income. The cost per share is recalculated on the basis of the new number of shares held. If an available-for-sale financial asset is determined to be impaired, a loss is recognized. If the impairment loss on equity securities decreases, this loss is reversed to the extent of the decrease and recorded as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity; for debt instruments, this loss is reversed and recognized as earnings.

Held-to-maturity Financial Assets Held-to-maturity financial assets are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. However, the straight-line method is used for amortization if there is only a minor difference between the result of using the effective interest method and that of the straight-line method. These financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the asset acquisition. Gains or losses are recognized at the time of derecognition, impairment or amortization. If a held-to-maturity financial asset is determined to be impaired, a loss is recognized. If the impairment loss decreases, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed. However, the reversal should not result in the carrying amount of financial assets exceeding the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized.

Other Financial Assets Financial assets carried at cost are those investments in equity instruments (including unlisted stocks and emerging stocks) with no quoted market prices in an active market and with fair values that cannot be reliably measured. The accounting treatment of dividends is the same as that for dividends on available-for-sale financial assets. If there is objective evidence that a financial asset carried at cost is impaired, an impairment loss is recognized. However, impairment loss reversal is prohibited. Debt instruments with no active market are those with no quoted market prices in an active market and with predetermined amounts. The accounting treatment for these debt instruments is the same as that for held-to- maturity financial assets, except for the absence of restriction on the timing of the disposal of held-to-maturity financial assets.

Acquired Loans For nonperforming loans purchased from financial institutions, the initial cost of acquired loans is the purchase price. The cost recovery method is used to recognize gain or loss on acquired loans. Upon the recovery of an acquired loan, any surplus obtained from the consideration received on recovery against the consideration paid on acquisition of the loan will be recognized as income from recoveries of acquired loans. The agreement purchase price and all necessary handling charges on acquisition are the total cost of the acquired loans, and the fair value of each individual loan is used as the basis for cost allocation. All marketing and related operating expenses, including bidding fees and legal payments, are expensed when incurred. 2012 ANNUAL REPORT

Marketing and handling expenses for the acquired loans are expensed as they are incurred from the acquisition date to the resale date. If the debtor fails to repay the debt, the related expenses incurred for the provisional seizure or provisional disposition executed by the court - including the expenses for applying for auction permission, the judge expenses for collateral auction, and appraisal expenses - are accounted for as operating expenses.

Overdue Loans Loans and other credits (including accrued interest) that are overdue for at least six months are classified as overdue loans in accordance with the guideline issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC). Overdue loans (except other credits) are classified as discounts and loans, and the remaining are classified as other financial assets.

Allowance for Credit Losses and Reserve for Losses on Guarantees In determining the allowance for credit losses and reserve for losses on guarantees, the Company evaluates the losses on particular loans and overall credit portfolio, considering the balances of bills, discounts, loans, receivables, and overdue loans as well as guarantees as of the balance sheet date. Loans and receivables are assessed for impairment at the end of each reporting period and considered impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the loans and receivables, the estimated future cash flows of the asset have been affected. Objective evidence of impairment could include: Significant financial difficulty of the debtor; The loans and receivables becoming overdue; ⦁ Probability that the debtor will enter into bankruptcy or undergo financial reorganization. ⦁ Loans⦁ and receivables that are individually assessed as not impaired are further assessed collectively for impairment. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of loans and receivables could include the Company’s past difficulty in collecting payments and an increase in the number of delayed payments, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on loans and receivables. The impairment loss recognized is the difference between the asset carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rates of the loans and receivables, after taking into account the related collateral and guarantees. The carrying amount of the loans and receivables is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Under the Financial Supervisory Commission’s (FSC) guidelines, the Taiwan Cooperative Bank, Ltd. (TCB) should classify credit assets as sound credit assets or unsound credit assets, with the unsound assets further categorized as special mention, substandard, with collectibility highly doubtful and uncollectible, on the basis of the customers’ financial position, valuation of collaterals and the length of time the principal repayments or interest payments have become overdue. TCB made 100%, 50%, 10%, 2% and 0.5% provisions for credits deemed uncollectible, with collectibility highly doubtful, substandard, special mention and the outstanding balance of sound credit assets (excluding assets that represent claims against an ROC government agency), respectively, as minimum provisions for possible losses on credit assets. Under “The Regulations Governing the Procedures for Bills Finance Companies to Evaluate Assets, Set Aside Loss Reserves, and Handle Nonperforming Credits, Nonaccrual Loans, and Bad Debts” issued by the FSC, TCBF makes the following minimum provisions for losses on credits for these categories: Uncollectible - 100%; with doubtful collectibility - 50%; substandard - 10%; “special mention” - 2%; and collectible - 1%. Under the “Regulations Governing the Procedures for Insurance Institutions to Evaluate Assets and Deal with Nonperforming/Nonaccrual Loans” issued by the Insurance Bureau, BNP Paribas Assurance TCB Life Insurance Co., Ltd. made 100%, 50%, 10%, 2% and 0.5% provisions for credits deemed uncollectible, with 43 44 Financial Information

collectibility highly doubtful, substandard, special mention and the outstanding balance of sound credit assets (excluding assets that represent claims against an ROC government agency, policy loans and premium loans), respectively, as minimum provisions for possible losses on credit assets. Under FSC guidelines, write-offs of specific loans are offset against the recorded allowance for loan losses, as approved by the board of directors.

Purchase on Margin and Short Sale The Taiwan Cooperative Securities Co., Ltd. (TCS) recognizes margin loans as loans to customers for purchases on margin while providing financing to investors who buy stocks. Margin loans made by TCS are generally collateralized by securities in the client’s account. These collateralized securities are not entered in TCS’ books but are recorded using memorandum entries. After the security investors settle the margin loan, these pledged securities are returned to investors. TCS requires a deposit from security investors for short sale services while providing short sale services to investors. This deposit is recorded as deposits on short-sale transactions. The amount collected from selling short sale securities (net of securities transaction tax, brokerage fee and handling fee) is kept by TCS as collateral and recorded as payable for short-sale transactions. The securities lent to clients as short sale are recorded using memorandum entries. The deposits on short-sale transactions and payables for short sale are returned to security investors after investors settle the short-sale transactions. The margin deposited by securities firms to securities finance companies is recorded as loan from refinanced margin. The refinancing securities delivered to TCS are recorded through memorandum entries as refinancing stock loans. A portion of the proceeds of the short-sale of securities borrowed from securities finance companies is retained by the securities finance companies as collateral and is recorded as refinancing deposit receivable.

Securities Purchased/Sold Under Resale/Repurchase Agreements Securities purchased under resell agreements and securities sold under repurchase agreements are generally treated as collateralized financing transactions. Interest earned on resell agreements or interest incurred on repurchase agreements is recognized as interest revenue or interest expense over the life of each agreement.

Brokerage Accounts, Net Under the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms, the brokerage accounts, net are recorded as brokerage accounts - debit (including cash and cash equivalents - settlement account, brokerage securities receivable, exchange clearance, credit transactions and settlements receivable) and brokerage accounts - credit (including brokerage securities payable, exchange clearances, credit transactions and settlements payable). As a result, brokerage accounts - debits are offset against brokerage accounts - credit and recorded as brokerage accounts, net.

Asset Impairment The Company tests assets (mainly properties, nonoperating assets, goodwill and computer software) and cash-generating units (CGUs) for impairment on each balance sheet date. If impairment is determined, the Company estimates the recoverable amounts of assets or CGUs. An impairment loss should be recognized whenever the recoverable amount of the asset or the CGU is below the carrying amount. If asset impairment loss (excluding goodwill) is reversed, the increase in the carrying amount resulting from reversal is credited to current income. However, loss reversal should not be more than the carrying amount (net of depreciation or amortization) had the impairment loss not been recognized. For the unrealized revaluation increments recognized upon revaluation required by law, the impairment loss is recognized as a reduction of the reported revaluation increments. If the impairment loss exceeds the reported revaluation increments, the excess is recognized as current loss. If this impairment loss is reversed, this reversal is recognized as current income to the extent of the loss previously recognized, and any reversal exceeding the amount of previously recognized loss is reported as unrealized revaluation increments. 2012 ANNUAL REPORT

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events indicate goodwill impairment. An impairment loss is recorded if the book value exceeds value in use. No recording of a subsequent recovery of fair value of goodwill is allowed.

Equity Investments under the Equity Method Investments in shares of companies in which the Company exercises significant influence on their operating and financial policy decisions are accounted for by the equity method. Under the equity method, the investments are carried at cost on the acquisition date and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s proportionate share in the net income or loss and net assets of the investees. The proportionate share in the net income or loss is recognized as current income or loss, and any cash dividends received are reflected as a reduction of the carrying values of the investments. When the Company subscribes for its investee’s newly issued shares at a percentage different from its current percentage of ownership in the investee, the Company records the change in its equity in the investee’s net assets as an adjustment to investments, with a corresponding amount credited or charged to capital surplus. When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus, but the capital surplus arising from long-term investments is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings. The acquisition cost is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the basis of their fair values at the date of acquisition, and the acquisition cost in excess of the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. Goodwill is not being amortized. The fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in excess of the acquisition cost is used to reduce the fair value of each of the noncurrent assets acquired (except for financial assets other than equity investments accounted for under the equity method, noncurrent assets held for sale, deferred income tax assets, prepaid pension or other postretirement benefit) in proportion to the respective fair values of the noncurrent assets, with any excess recognized as an extraordinary gain. When the Company’s share in losses of an investee over which the Company has significant influence equals its investment in that investee plus any advances made to the investee, the Company discontinues applying the equity method. The Company continues to recognize its share in losses of the investee if (a) the Company commits to provide further financial support to the investee or (b) the losses of the investee are considered temporary and sufficient evidence shows imminent return to profitability. If the Company has investments that it jointly controls with one or more entities, the investments are accounted for under the equity method. Stock dividends received are recognized only as increases in the number of shares held and not as income. Cost of equity investments sold is determined by the weighted-average method. If there is objective evidence that an equity-method investment is impaired, an impairment loss is recognized. The Company tests equity investments on which the Company has significant influence but over which the Company has no control on the basis of the individual carrying amounts of the investments.

Properties and Nonoperating Assets Properties and nonoperating assets (part of other assets) are stated at cost, or cost plus revaluation increments and less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. Major renewals, additions and improvements are capitalized; while costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of properties and nonoperating assets is computed on the straight-line basis over useful lives estimated as follows: buildings, 5 to 50 years; machinery and equipment, 3 to 10 years; transportation equipment, 3 to 10 years; other equipment, 2 to 20 years; and leasehold improvements, 1 to 10 years. Assets still being used after they have reached their full depreciation value are depreciated over newly estimated service lives. Upon retirement or disposal of properties and nonoperating assets, their cost (including revaluation increments), related accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment and any unrealized revaluation increments of an item of property and nonoperating asset are removed from the accounts. Any resulting gain 45 46 Financial Information

or loss is credited or charged to current income.

Intangible Assets Goodwill is stated at cost less accumulated impairment. Computer software is recorded at acquisition cost and amortized by the straight-line method over three to five years.

Collaterals Assumed Collaterals assumed (part of other assets) are recorded at cost and revalued at the lower of cost or net fair value as of the balance sheet date. If cost exceeds net fair value, an impairment loss is recognized. If the impairment loss is reversed, this reversal is recognized as current income. If collaterals assumed are not disposed of within the statutory period, relevant regulations require that the Company should either apply for the extension of the disposal period or increase their provision for possible losses.

Operating Deposits Under the regulations, the Company should place in government-designated banks guarantee deposits based on their respective type of business operations after registration (part of other assets).

Settlement Fund Under the regulations, the Company that broker marketable securities and trade securities for their own purposes should deposit settlement funds to the Taiwan Stock Exchange and the GreTai Securities Market before and after the start of business operation (part of other assets).

Reinsurance To limit possible losses from some risk events, the Company enters into reinsurance agreements with reinsurers in accordance with its business needs and the related regulations. If the reinsurers cannot meet their obligations, the Company remains liable to its policyholders for the amount pertaining to the reinsurers’ inability to meet their obligations. Thus, allowances are made for reinsurance contract receivables that are deemed uncollectible. The Company’s rights to the reinsurers, including reinsurance assets, claims recovered from reinsurers, and net due from reinsurers and ceding companies, should be tested regularly for impairment. An impairment loss is recognized when there is objective evidence that after initial recognition, there is an event making the Company unable to collect receivables as stated in the contracts and the irrecoverable amount can be reliably measured. The difference between the recoverable amount and the book value of the foregoing rights is recognized as impairment loss.

The accounting treatment for reinsurance contracts depends on whether or not the Company transfers significant insurance risk to the reinsurers. If significant insurance risk is not transferred, deposit accounting is applied to the contracts. If a reinsurance contract involves the transfer of significant insurance risk and if the Company can evaluate the deposit components individually, the insurance component and the deposit component are separately recognized. That is, the difference between the contract amount the Company receives or pays and the amount of the insurance component is recognized as a financial liability or asset chargeable to revenues or expenses. The financial liability or asset is recognized and measured at fair value, which is based on the discounted value of future cash flows.

Investment-linked Products The Company sells investment-linked products. Based on agreements, the insurance premiums paid by policyholders are offset against various expenses incurred by the Company and are invested in separate 2012 ANNUAL REPORT

accounts at allocation ratios agreed on with or set by the policyholders. The value of the separate-account assets is accounted for at the market value on the date of the start of the transaction, and their net worth is computed in accordance with the related regulations and accounting principles generally accepted in the ROC. The assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of separate accounts represent the rights and obligations of the policyholders and are recorded, pursuant to the accounting principles governing investment-linked products, in the Company’s “Assets on insurance products - separate account” (part of other financial assets), “Liabilities on insurance products - separate account” (part of other financial liabilities), “Income on insurance products - separate account” and “Disbursements on insurance products - separate account” (part of premium income).

Operating Reserves The reserves of insurance contracts are recognized in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Reserves by Insurance Enterprises” and should be attested by an actuary with accreditation from the Financial Supervisory Commission. The provision basis of various reserves is as follows:

Reserve for life insurance liability The reserve for the life insurance liability of an insurance product is calculated in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Reserves by Insurance Enterprises and other rulings promulgated by regulators. The calculation is based on a mortality table and projected interest rate at the time of the Insurance Bureau’s approval of the insurance product.

Reserve for unearned premiums Unearned premiums of effective policies with a term of less than one year and the term of injury insurance exceeding one year are computed by policy type in accordance with the actual risk.

Special reserve for life insurance For insurance products with a term of less than one year, the Company provides special reserves for certain exigencies in the following order: a. Special reserve for catastrophes Special reserves for catastrophes are provided by policy type and at rates set by the regulatory authorities. This reserve is used to offset the portion of net indemnities exceeding $30 million. The amount should cover a period of more than 15 years. Any amount of this reserve remaining at the end of 15 years should be measured by an actuary and then reported to the Insurance Bureau, after which the amount will be recognized as gain. Before January 1, 2011, the special reserve for catastrophes was recognized under liability. From January 1, 2011, the incremental provision for catastrophe special reserve, net of tax defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 22 - “Income Taxes,” is recognized as special reserve under stockholders’ equity. The offset or recovered amounts are debited the special reserve under liabilities first, and if this reserve is not sufficient, the special reserve under equities is used for debiting. b. Special reserve for contingent claim For each type of insurance products, if the actual claim offset against the special reserve for catastrophe is less than the projected claim, 15% of the difference should be provided as special reserve for contingent claim. Otherwise, the entire difference may be offset against the special reserve for contingent claim. If the special reserve cannot cover the difference, the reserve for contingent claim of another insurance product may be used for the offset. The insurance products and the amount offset should be in accordance with regulations and should be reported to the Insurance Bureau. When the accumulated amount of special reserve for the contingent claim for each type of insurance products exceeds 30% of the gross amount of net earned premium, the excess is treated as income. The above offset or recovered amounts are debited to the special reserve for contingent claim under the reserve for operations and liabilities. If this special reserve is insufficient, the shortage, net of the tax SFAS No. 22, should be debited to the special reserve for contingent claims under stockholder’s equity. 47 48 Financial Information

The provision of the special reserve for life insurance should also be net of the tax defined in SFAS No. 22 and should be recognized as special reserve under stockholders’ equity. For the Company, the special reserve for contingent claims, net of tax, recovered from the reserve for operations and liabilities should be appropriated as special reserve under the shareholders’ approval given in the following year and should not be distributed as dividends or be used for any other purposes unless there is prior approval by the authorities.

Reserve for claim payments Reserve for claim payments is for claims that have been incurred but not yet reported (IBNR). An IBNR reserve is provided for new life insurance, health insurance and injury insurance on the basis of actual data case by case. BNP Paribas Assurance TCB Life Insurance Co., Ltd. (BPATLI) is in its early stage of operation and has insufficient claim experience to develop trend analysis as a basis to calculate claim reserve. Thus, under Article 23 of the “Regulations Governing the Reserves by Insurance Enterprises,” from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2012, BPATLI accrued a provision for the IBNR reserve at 1% of the net earned premiums. However, from January 1, 2013, BPATLI will no longer use the 1% accrual in making the provision for the IBNR reserve and will instead use actual data and the loss triangle approach.

Reserve for insufficient premiums If the premiums issued for life insurance, health insurance, and annuity insurance contract with a coverage period of over year are less than the reserve for premiums required by relevant regulations, the deficiency of subsequent periods should be recognized as premium deficiency reserve. In addition, potential claims and expenses should be estimated for effective contracts yet to mature and injury insurance contracts with a coverage period of over one year. If the assessed amount is more than the unearned premium reserve and expected premium income, the excess should be recognized as premium deficiency reserve by product type.

Liability adequacy reserve Starting from January 1, 2011, based on SFAS No. 40 - “Insurance Contracts,” a liability adequacy reserve should be provided on the basis of the results of liability adequacy tests.

Reserve for exchange rate changes A reserve for exchange rate changes is provided in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Reserves of Insurance Enterprises.” On the initial setup of this reserve, the regulation allows an entity to transfer up to half of the reserve for catastrophes and of the reserve for contingency claims to the reserve for exchange rate changes. However, BNP Paribas Assurance TCB Life Insurance Co., Ltd. believes it need not make this transfer. As of December 31, 2012, the balance of the reserve for exchange rate changes was $10,868 thousand.

Liability Adequacy Test Under the Actuarial Standards of Practice of SFAS No. 40 - “Classification of Contracts and Liability Adequacy Test” issued by the Actuarial Institute of the Republic of China, the Company subjects all its insurance contracts to liability adequacy tests at each balance sheet date. The test is made on the difference between the (a) net carrying amount of insurance liabilities minus deferred acquisition costs and (b) the related intangible assets and current estimates of future cash flows from insurance policies. If the net carrying amount is insufficient, the deficiency will be recognized in profit or loss.

Pension Costs The Company has two pension plans: defined benefit and defined contribution. Under the defined benefit plan, pension cost is determined actuarially. Under the defined contribution plan, the Company’s pension fund contributions are recognized as current expenses throughout the employees’ service periods. 2012 ANNUAL REPORT

Income Tax The inter-period and intra-period income tax allocation methods are used, by which tax effects of loss carryforwards, unused investment tax credits, deductible temporary differences and debits of stockholders’ equity adjustments are recognized as deferred income tax assets, and those of taxable temporary differences and credits of stockholders’ equity adjustments are recognized as deferred income tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred income tax assets that are not certain to be realized. Taiwan Cooperative Financial Holding Co., Ltd. (TCFHC) and its subsidiaries elected to file a consolidated tax return from 2012. The difference between consolidated income tax payable and the sum of income tax payable of the entities included in the consolidated tax return is considered as a tax consolidation adjustment, which is shown on TCFHC’s income tax expense or benefit. Any distribution of cash payments and receipts among the consolidated group members is recorded as receivable or payable. Any adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are included in the current year’s income tax expense. According to the Income Tax law, income taxes (10%) on undistributed earnings generated annually since 1998 are recorded as expenses in the year when the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.

Stock-based Compensation The Company’s employees subscribed for the reserved shares of Taiwan Cooperative Financial Holding Co., Ltd. (TCFHC) in accordance with the Financial Holding Company Act, and the Company recognized the fair value of the stock options under salary expenses for share-based payment and under capital surplus on the grant date, i.e., the date when the Company and its employees made an agreement for the employees to subscribe for TCFHC’s shares.

Treasury Stock Issued shares reacquired as treasury stock are carried at cost and presented as a deduction to arrive at stockholders’ equity. When the treasury shares are reissued to the employees, the difference between the disposal price and acquisition cost will be credited or debited to “capital surplus - treasury stock.” If this capital surplus is not enough for debiting purposes, the shortfall is charged to unappropriated retained earnings. Under a directive issued by the Securities and Futures Bureau (SFB), if a financial institution (FI) repurchases its own capital stock pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Law and becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of a financial holding company (FHC), resulting in the conversion of the FI’s treasury stock to the FHC’s stock, the FHC’s shares held by the FI should be treated as treasury stock. The FHC should also present the shares it issued in exchange for FI’s capital stock as treasury stock. If shares of the FIs under the same FHC were held among each other before the share swap, the FHC should also state these shares as treasury stocks.

Interest Revenue and Service Fees Interest revenue on loans and financial instruments are recorded on the accrual basis. Interest revenue on loans and other credits extended by the Company that are classified as overdue loans is recognized only upon collection. Service fees are recorded as income upon receipt or upon substantial completion of the earnings process depending on the nature of the transaction.

Premium Income and Policy Acquisition Cost The initial premiums for the Company’s insurance contracts and investment contracts with a discretionary participation feature are recognized as revenue once the collection is made and the insurance approval procedures are completed. The subsequent premiums are recognized as revenue upon cash collection. The related expenses, e.g., commission expenses, are recognized as expenses once the contract takes effect. The service fees the Company charges for investment contracts with no investment-linked products and 49 50 Financial Information

with no discretionary participation feature are recognized as reserve for insurance contracts with financial instrument features. The related acquisition cost will be charged against reserve for insurance contracts with financial instrument features when the insurance contracts become effective. The service fees that the Company charges for the investment-linked product of insurance contracts and from which front-load fees or related investment management fees have been deducted, are recognized as investment-linked product liabilities. The policy-related expenses incurred by the investment management service, including commission and increased expenses associated with the new contracts, are recognized as “deferred acquisition costs”. These costs are depreciated using the straight-line method throughout the duration of service provision. The depreciation is recognized under “other operating costs.”

Classification of Contracts An insurance contract is one under which one party (the insurer) accepts significant insurance risk from another party (the policyholder) by agreeing to compensate the policyholder if a specified uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects the policyholder. The Company identifies insurance risk as significant only if the insured event would cause the Company to pay material additional benefits. The insurance contract with the nature of financial instruments is the contract that makes a contract issuer exposed to financial risk but not significant insurance risk. Financial risk is the risk that one or multiple interest rates, the price of financial instruments, commodity price, exchange rate, price index, insurance premium index, credit ratings, credit index or other variables (if the variable is nonfinancial it has to be non- specific to both parties) will change in the future. The policy that initially met the definition of insurance contract remains an insurance contract until all of the rights and obligations expire, even though the insurance risk has been significantly reduced through the duration of the insurance contract. However, if the significant insurance risk of the insurance contract with the nature of financial instruments is transferred to the Company, the contract should be reclassified to insurance contract. Insurance contracts may also be classified as with or without the discretionary participation feature (DPF). DPF is a contractual right to receive the following additional benefits: a. An amount that is equal to a significant portion of the total contractual benefits; b. Whose amount or timing is contractually at the discretion of the issuer; and c. That is contractually based on: 1) The performance of a specified pool of contracts or a specified type of contract; 2) Realized and/or unrealized investment returns on a specified pool of assets held by the issuer; or 3) The profit or loss of the Company, fund or other entity that issues the contract. Financial products and insurance contracts with the discretionary participation features follow the same accounting policy, while those without discretionary participation follow SFAS No. 33 - “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” No. 34 - “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement,” and No. 36 - “Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation.” Financial products with service features follow SFAS No. 32 - “Revenue.”

Contingencies A loss is recognized when it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If loss is possible but cannot be reasonably estimated, information on the circumstances that might give rise to the possible loss is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

The Share Swap Taiwan Cooperative Financial Holding Co., Ltd. (TCFHC) was established as a financial holding company through a share swap, and the share swap for the affiliated companies should be treated as reorganization. Thus TCFHC should treat the investees’ net worth (any impairment loss on asset should be deducted 2012 ANNUAL REPORT

from its book value) as paid-in capital. The stock issued by TCFHC is accounted for as capital stock, the stockholders’ equity accounts of financial institutions related to assets and liabilities (such as cumulative translation adjustments and unrealized revaluation increments, etc.) are accounted for in original accounts, and the remaining balance is accounted for as capital surplus. TCFHC should apply Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 25 - “Business Combinations” to the share swap of investees’ minority stockholders.

The actual creditable tax ratio may differ from the estimated creditable tax ratio since this ratio is computed on the date the dividend is actually paid or distributed. Under the Income Tax Law, the unappropriated retained earnings of $19,985 thousand generated by Taiwan Cooperative Bank, Ltd. (TCB) until December 31, 1997 were included in the unappropriated retained earnings as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. Taiwan Cooperative Financial Holding Co., Ltd. (TCFHC), Taiwan Cooperative Securities Co., Ltd. (TCS), Co-operative Assets Management Co., Ltd. (CAM), Cooperative Insurance Brokers Co., Ltd. (CIB), BNP Paribas Assurance TCB Life Insurance Co., Ltd. (BPATLI), BNP Paribas TCB Asset Management Co., Ltd. (BPTAM), and Taiwan Cooperative Bills Finance Corporation Ltd. (TCBF) had no retained earnings generated until December 31, 1997. TCS was established in 2011. The years for which TCFHC and other subsidiaries’ income tax returns had been examined by tax authorities were as follows:

TCFHC TCB CIB CAM TCBF BPATLI BPTAM 2011 2010 2010 2010 2010 2009 2011

For the TCB’s income tax returns from 2006 to 2010, the Taipei National Tax Administration (TNTA) claimed that the appraisal of goodwill was not reasonable and that there were no unrecognized losses on the sale of nonperforming loans in TCB’s records on the date of the merger with the Farmers Bank of China (FBC). Thus, TNTA denied the expenses for the goodwill amortization of $2,958,671 thousand and the deferred loss amortization of $3,015,522 thousand on the sale of nonperforming loans. TCB disagreed with the TNTA’s decision and initiated an administrative litigation. Under an interpretation of the TNAT in 2007, TCB added $787,981 thousand to its stockholders’ imputed tax credit account as shown in its 2006 return because of its merger with the FBC. However, the TNAT disallowed this addition because it still had unsettled questions on FBC’s accumulated unappropriated retained earnings generated before FBC’s merger with TCB. Thus, the TNAT assessed that TCB made an over- distribution of the stockholders’ imputed tax credit in 2008 and 2009 by a total of $542,373 thousand. TCB disagreed with the TNAT’s assessment and initiated an administrative litigation. After reexamining TCB’s 2006, 2008 and 2009 stockholders’ imputed tax credit return, the TNAT cleared the foregoing addition. In addition, the TNAT declared there was no over-distribution of the stockholders’ imputed tax credit on 2008 and 2009. 2012 ANNUAL REPORT

31. EARNINGS PER SHARE The numerators and denominators used in computing earnings per share (EPS) are summarized as follows:

EPS (NT$) Amount (Numerator) Shares Before After Before After (Denominator Income Income Income Tax Income Tax in Thousands) Tax Tax 2012 Basic EPS $ 7,554,451 $ 7,561,380 7,034,180 $ 1.07 $ 1.07 Effect of dilutive common stock: Bonus to employees - - 197

Diluted EPS $ 7,554,451 $ 7,561,380 7,034,377 $ 1.07 $ 1.07

Diluted EPS $ 262,533 $ 262,533 6,709,611 $ 0.04 $ 0.04

The weighted average number of shares outstanding for EPS calculation has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effects of the stock dividends distributed in the year following earning appropriation. If Taiwan Cooperative Financial Holding Co., Ltd. (TCFHC) decides to settle the bonus to employees by cash or shares, TCFHC should presume that the entire amount of the bonus will be settled in shares. If the resulting potential shares have a dilutive effect, these shares should be included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted EPS. The number of shares is estimated by dividing the entire amount of the bonus by the closing price of the shares at the balance sheet date. The dilutive effect of the potential shares should be included in the calculation of diluted EPS until the stockholders resolve the number of shares to be distributed to employees at their meeting in the following year. 32. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY a. Capital stock On December 1, 2011, Taiwan Cooperative Financial Holding Co., Ltd. (TCFHC) was incorporated through a share swap.

Based on the Company Law revised on January 4, 2012, the foregoing capital surplus may also be distributed as cash dividends. Under related regulations, the capital surplus from equity investments under the equity method cannot be distributed for any purpose. Under the Financial Holding Company Law and related directives issued by the Securities and Futures Bureau (SFB), the distribution of the ex-conversion unappropriated earnings that are generated by financial institutions (the subsidiaries) and become part of capital surplus of the financial holding company through a share swap is exempted from the appropriation restriction of the Securities and Exchange Law. These unappropriated earnings should be net of the appropriation of legal reserve or special reserve. The subsidiaries’ unappropriated retained earnings before stock conversion were $10,410,804 thousand, which were recognized as TCFHC’s capital surplus as of its establishment date. On May 21, 2012, the board of directors of TCFHC resolved to increase its capital by issuing common shares. Under related regulations, the Company’s employees subscribed for the reserved 15% shares of TCFHC, and the Company recognized the stock option fair value of $288,000 thousand under salary expenses for share- based payment and under capital surplus on the grant date in 2012.

c. Equity adjustments To adopt the International Financial Reporting Standards, the board of directors of Taiwan Cooperative Bank, Ltd. (TCB) decided on December 1, 2011 and March 15, 2012 to revalue TCB’s landholdings, and the revaluation amounts of $1,108,854 thousand and $647,363 thousand, respectively, were credited to equity as unrealized revaluation increments. d. Treasury stock

Reason for Redemption Beginning of Period Increase Decrease End of Period TCB holds TCFHC’s shares as result of a share swap 2012 206,739 10,337 - 217,076 2011 206,739 - - 206,739

Note: Shares in thousands. On December 1, 2011, TCFHC’s shares held by TCB as treasury stock amounted to $7,136,000 thousand, which was the carrying value of the equity investment under the equity method. Under the Financial Holding Company Act, when a financial institution (a subsidiary) holds the shares of a financial holding company (FHC) as a result of a share swap, those shares should be sold to FHC or the subsidiary’s employees or be exchanged for other purposes - even be sold on the Taiwan Stock Exchange or over-the-counter exchange - within three years from the swap date. Otherwise, the shares will be regarded as FHC’s unissued capital, and the FHC may change the amount of its registered capital. As of March 25, 2013, the board of directors of TCFHC had not decided how the TCFHC shares held by TCB should be used. Under the Securities and Exchange Law, TCFHC is not allowed to buy more than 10% of its issued capital stock. In addition, TCFHC may not spend more than the sum of retained earnings, additional paid-in capital in excess of par value, capital surplus which are realized. Further, TCFHC may not pledge or hypothecate any purchased capital stock. TCFHC’s capital stock held by subsidiaries is treated as treasury stock. However, the subsidiaries cannot exercise stockholders’ rights attached to the treasury stock if the shares had been bought by subsidiaries before TCFHC’s establishment. Under SFC regulations, to maintain the stability of TCFHC’s financial structure and protect stockholders, TCFHC appropriated a special reserve from retained earnings at an amount equal to the carrying value of the treasury stock held by subsidiaries in excess of the market value at balance sheet date. The special reserve may be reversed if the market value of treasury stock is higher than the carrying value at the year-end. e. Appropriation of earnings When TCFHC appropriates its earnings, legal reserve should be appropriated from the annual net income less any accumulated deficit. A special reserve may then be appropriated depending on regulations and operating needs. Any remainder should be appropriated as follows: 1) 0.02% to 0.16% as bonus to employees; 2) 1% or less as remuneration to directors and supervisors; 3) Dividends, determined annually by the board of directors. Unless otherwise restricted by related regulations, TCFHC’s policy indicates that cash dividends must be 50% or above of the total dividends and bonus distributed. If the cash dividend per share is less than 71 72 Financial Information

NT$0.1, the cash dividend will not be distributed unless the distribution is resolved in the stockholders’ meetings. In 2012 and December 2011, the estimates of the bonus to employees were $3,062 thousand and $378 thousand, respectively, and the remuneration to directors and supervisors were $54,442 thousand and $2,363 thousand, respectively, respectively. If the bonus and remuneration approved by the TCFHC’s board of directors change materially, the change should be included in the expenses of the current year. If the bonus and remuneration approved by the TCFHC’s stockholders differ from the board of directors’ proposal, this change should be treated as a revision of the accounting estimate, and the related accrued expenses should be adjusted in the year of the stockholders’ approval of the bonus and remuneration. If bonus shares are resolved to be distributed to employees, the number of shares is determined by dividing the amount of bonus by the closing price (after considering the effect of cash and stock dividends) of the eve of the stockholders’ meeting. Under the Company Law, legal reserve should be appropriated until the reserve equals TCFHC’s paid- in capital. This reserve may be used to offset a deficit. Under the Company Law revised on January 4, 2012, when the reserve exceeds 25% of TCFHC’s paid-in capital, the excess may be distributed as capital or cash dividends. Under an SFB directive, a special reserve is appropriated from the balance of the retained earnings at an amount that is equal to the debit balance of accounts in the stockholders’ equity section (such as unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments and cumulative translation adjustments, except treasury stocks). The balance of the special reserve is adjusted to reflect any changes in the debit balance of the related accounts. The appropriations from the earnings of 2011 were approved in the stockholders’ meeting on June 22, 2012. The appropriations were as follows: Appropriation of Earnings Dividends Per Share (NT$) Legal reserve $ 26,253 Cash dividends 236,166 $ 0.0358

The bonus to employees and the remuneration to directors for 2011, which were approved in the stockholders’ meeting on June 22, 2012, were as follows:

2011 Bonus to employees - cash $ 378 Remuneration to directors - cash 2,363

On the bonus to employees and the remuneration to directors, there was no difference between the approved amounts and the accrued amounts recognized in the financial statements for 2011. The appropriations from the 2012 earnings were approved in the board of directors’ meetings on March 25, 2013. The appropriations and dividends are as follows:

Appropriation of Earnings Dividends Per Share (NT$) Legal reserve $ 756,138 Cash dividends 3,250,667 $ 0.4 Stock dividends 3,250,667 0.4

Information on the appropriation of earnings or deficit offsetting can be accessed through the website of the Taiwan Stock Exchange (http://emops.tse.com.tw). 2012 ANNUAL REPORT

(Concluded) b. Methods and assumptions applied in estimating the fair values of financial instruments are as follows: 1) For financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial assets, and held-to-maturity financial assets, fair value is best determined on the basis of quoted market prices. However, in many instances where there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments, fair values are based on estimates using other financial data and appropriate valuation methodologies. Fair values of forward contracts, currency swap contracts, foreign-currency margin contracts, cross-currency swap contracts and interest rate swap contracts are calculated using the discounted cash flow method, unless the fair values are provided by counter- parties. Fair values of option contracts are based on estimates using the Black Scholes model. The Company estimates the fair value of each forward contract on the basis of the swap points quoted by Reuters on each settlement date. Fair values of interest rate swap contracts and cross- currency swap contracts are calculated using the Bloomberg information system, unless the fair values are provided by counter-parties. The calculation of the fair value of each option contract is based on the mid-price (the average of bid and ask prices) quoted by Reuters. 2) The carrying amounts of short-term financial instruments approximate their fair values because of the short maturities of these instruments. Short-term financial assets are cash and cash equivalents, due from the Central Bank and call loans to other banks, securities purchased under resell agreements and receivables (except tax refundable). Short-term financial liabilities are due to the Central Bank and other banks, securities sold under repurchase agreements and payables (except tax payable). 3) Discounts and loans, commercial paper issued, other borrowings and deposits are interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Thus, their carrying amounts represent fair value. The fair value of overdue loans and overdue receivable is based on their carrying amount, net of allowance for credit losses. 2012 ANNUAL REPORT

4) For other financial assets, if there are theoretical prices from the GreTai Securities Market (GTSM, Taiwan’s over-the-counter securities exchange) on the balance sheet date, they are used as the basis for evaluating the fair value of debt instruments with no active market. Otherwise, the latest trade prices and quoted prices by major markets are used. 5) Other financial liabilities include structured products, appropriations for loans and guarantee deposits received. They are interest-bearing liabilities items that can be transferred to other banks at any time depending on the business situation or can be withdrawn by providers. The carrying amounts of these liabilities are their fair values. 6) The fair values of bonds payable are recorded as follows: (a) debentures with no maturity dates - at book values; (b) debentures with floating interest rates - at theoretical prices quoted by the GreTai Securities Market (Taiwan’s over-the-counter securities exchange); and (c) debentures with fixed interest rates - at estimates made using the discounted cash flow method. The discount rates used were between 0.907% and 1.275% as of December 31, 2012 and between 0.8% and 1.1% as of December 31, 2011 and were comparable with interest rates for loans with similar terms and characteristics. 7) If equity investments under the equity method and financial assets carried at cost consist of unlisted stocks, these investments have no quoted market prices in an active market and their fair value cannot be reliably measured. Thus, the Company does not disclose their fair value. 8) The fair values of refundable deposits, operating deposits and settlement funds are based on their carrying amounts because they do not have specific maturity dates. c. The fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments was as follows:

e. Financial risk information 1) Risk control and hedge strategy Taiwan Cooperative Financial Holding Co., Ltd. (TCFHC) has set up a Risk Management Committee in charge of relevant policies, procedures, principles and standards. In addition, the committees coordinate and supervise the subsidiaries’ risk control tasks. TCFHC also requests each subsidiary to set up risk management procedures based on regulations, so that the Company can effectively identify, measure, manage, and monitor various types of risks and to achieve profit objectives under reasonable risk. Taiwan Cooperative Bank, Ltd. (TCB) has set up a Risk Management Committee in charge of bank-wide risk control tasks. Under this committee is a Risk Management Division devoted to carrying out resolutions adopted by the Committee and performing other duties with regard to risk management. Currently, TCB’s risk management operating procedures call for the business departments and offices in the Head Office to implement routine risk review and control in accordance with business management regulations and risk policies. The Risk Management Division regularly reports risk exposure items affecting liquidity, interest rates, industry, and securities to the Risk Management Committee and Board of Directors in accordance with risk limit regulations. TCB’s risk policy seeks to effectively identify, measure, manage, and monitor various types of risk and to incorporate risk factors in management decision-making, establishing risk limits, determining trading or authorization limits, regularly checking and assessing risk exposures, and establishing risk indicators and early warning mechanisms. In addition, to effectively control capital adequacy and ensure that TCB meets the minimum statutory requirements, TCB incorporates all risks within the scope of capital assessment work in accordance with the authorities’ capital adequacy management regulations. In consideration of overall risk exposure, the characteristics of equity capital and liabilities are taken into consideration in asset allocation. 89 90 Financial Information

2) Market risks TCFHC’s market risk management involves monitoring and controlling the market risk of TCFHC and subsidiaries and setting their risk limit depending on their business needs, including the VaR (value at risk) limit, position-limit and stop-loss limit. TCFHC also regularly submits to its board of directors a risk evaluation report, which covers the taking of risk exposure by each risk-based unit and the adequacy of the current risk management system.

iv. BNP Paribas Assurance TCB Life Insurance Co., Ltd. (BPATLI) BPATLI has investments in and outside of Taiwan that are exposed to overseas market risks, which can be managed by using cross-currency swaps and having a diversified portfolio to decrease possible losses. BPATLI attempts to avoid any market fluctuation (including changes in market interest rate, exchange rate, stock price, etc.) that may cause BPATLI to suffer a loss by referring to the Quantitative Impact Study to approximate the adequate solvency capital and regularly monitoring the market for risks. Moreover, BPATLI makes simulation tests such as back-testing, stress test, etc. coupled with position limits and risk limits to control its exposure to market risks. BPATLI offers products with variable interest rates and is thus exposed to interest rate risk. The interest rate risk associated with products with variable interest rate originates from the spread between the declared rate and the current interest rate. For instance, if the current interest rate is lower than the declared rate, then BPATLI has a loss. Furthermore, retirement insurance is also exposed to interest rate risk. Since the predetermined interest rate has been locked in at the start of the insurance contract, a difference between the predetermined interest rate and the long-term interest rate may result in a loss for BPATLI. The Company reviews investment returns at every committee meeting. If there is a trend showing increasing losses over time, the Company will reconsider the components of its investments and replace fixed interest rates of products with variable interest rates in the subsequent year or revise the price of retirement insurance to reduce the risk of significant interest rate differences. 3) Credit risk Every major subsidiary of TCFHC has complete examination procedures to evaluate credit risks of clients or counterparties. To maintain good asset quality, TCFHC’s subsidiaries have set up not only fair credit approval processes but also management policy on and requirements for counterparties’ credit rating and determination of risk concentration in persons, groups, and affiliates. The Company is exposed to credit risk from counter-parties’ default on financial instruments. When providing loans, acceptances and guarantees, the Company conducts cautionary credit evaluations. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the securing of financial instruments by collaterals were as follows: (a) about 67% and 66% of TCB’s total loans, respectively; (b) 9.29% to 16.78% and 7.27% 95 96 Financial Information

to 16.92%, with an average of 15.23% and 14.76%, of TCB’s guarantees and letters of credit issued; and (c) about 45.87% and 47.37%, of TCBF’s total guarantees, respectively. Collaterals were mostly in the form of cash, inventory, liquid securities and other assets. If the customers break a contract, the Company will execute its right on the collaterals and decrease its credit risk. However, the Company discloses its maximum credit exposure without consideration of collateral fair value. The maximum credit exposure of financial assets is the carrying amount of financial assets on the balance sheet date; please refer to related notes to the consolidated financial statements for more information. The amounts of financial contracts with off-balance-sheet credit risks as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 were as follows: a) Taiwan Cooperative Bank, Ltd.

2012 2011 Credit card commitments $ 40,034,360 $ 38,501,980 Guarantees and letters of credit issued 103,181,371 107,976,164 Irrevocable loan commitments 98,802,356 61,816,331

c) Taiwan Cooperative Bills Finance Corporation Ltd.

2012 2011 Guarantees of commercial paper $ 13,642,100 $ 11,829,300

The concentration of credit risk exists when counter-parties to financial transactions are individuals or groups engaged in similar activities or activities in the same region, which would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. TCB’s groups or industries with outstanding loans amounting to 10% or more of total outstanding loans were as follows:

2012 2011 Amount % Amount % Domestic Natural person $ 765,656,765 39 $ 807,266,540 39 Manufacturing 349,983,422 18 388,001,601 19 Government institutions 131,438,552 7 107,439,483 5

For Taiwan Cooperative Bills Finance Corporation Ltd., concentrations of credit risk were as follows:

4) Liquidity risk TCFHC’s guidelines for managing liquidity risk are shown in “The Liquidity and Interest Risk Management Guideline of Taiwan Cooperative Financial Holding Company.” This guideline requires TCFHC and its subsidiaries to maintain appropriate liquidity, payment ability, and financial stability and to improve their ability to handle exigencies. TCFHC and subsidiaries also follow the requirements of authorities, adopt numeral management, and compile cash flow gap analysis reports regularly. Additionally, the Company uses a liquidity risk management index to monitor strictly its transactions. In December 2012 and 2011, TCB’s liquidity reserve ratios were 22.18% and 16.75%, respectively. TCB has sufficient equity capital and working capital to execute all contract obligations and thus has no liquidity risk. The possibility that futures contracts cannot be sold at reasonable prices is low; hence, the liquidity risk is insignificant. The Company manages the currency requirements for assets and liabilities that have various maturity dates. However, because of uncertainties as well as the great variety of transactions, exchange rates on asset and liability maturity dates can result in either gain or loss. To minimize its liquidity risk, TCB, Taiwan Cooperative Bills Finance Corporation Ltd. and United Taiwan Bank S.A. apply appropriate ways to group assets and liabilities by maturity. The maturity analysis of assets and liabilities is shown as follows: a) Maturity analysis of financial assets and liabilities i. Taiwan Cooperative Bank, Ltd.

4) Exemptions under IFRS 1 The IFRS 1 - “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards” sets out the procedures that an entity must follow when it adopts IFRSs for the first time. Under IFRS 1, the Company applied the accounting policies under IFRSs retroactively to prepare and present an opening IFRS consolidated statement of financial position at the date of transition to IFRSs, i.e. January 1, 2012. IFRS 1 granted several exemptions from the general requirement to comply with each IFRS, effective at the end of its first IFRS reporting period, and the main exemptions that the 2012 ANNUAL REPORT

Company selected to apply were as follows: Business combinations The Company has elected not to apply IFRS 3 - “Business Combinations” retrospectively for the business combinations that happened before the date of transition to IFRSs. Thus, in the consolidated balance sheet under IFRS as of January 1, 2012, the goodwill, related assets and liabilities, and non-controlling interests that resulted from past business combinations were shown as the same amounts under ROC GAAP as of December 31, 2011. Above also apply to investments in associates in previous years. Share-based payments The Company has chosen the exemption pertaining to IFRS 2 - “Share-based Payments” to all share- based payments granted and vested before the date of transition to IFRSs. Deemed cost The Company has chosen to use the revaluation under ROC GAAP of part of property as their deemed cost at the date of transition to IFRSs. The other properties, equipment, investment properties and intangible assets were used the cost model in accordance with the IFRSs. Employee benefits The Company has chosen to recognize all cumulative actuarial gains and losses on employee benefit plans under retained earnings on the date of transition to IFRSs. Cumulative translation adjustments The cumulative translation adjustments for all the Company’s foreign operations were deemed to be zero and recognized under retained earnings at the date of transition to IFRSs. 5) Significant reconciliations on the conversion to IFRSs Significant differences between the current ROC GAAP and the accounting policies to be adopted under IFRSs are as follows: a) Regular way purchase or sale of financial assets The Company uses settlement date accounting when recording transactions, except those on beneficial certificates, for which trade date accounting is used. On conversion to IFRSs, the Company applied trade date accounting to all regular way purchase or sale of financial assets. The adoption of the IFRS policy on regular way purchase or sale of financial asset had adjusted the accounts as of December 31, 2012 as follows: Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss decreased by $167,993 thousand; Financial assets carried at cost increased by $114 thousand; available-for-sale financial assets decreased by $3,482 thousand; receivables increased by $347,785 thousand; current income tax asset increased by $92 thousand; payables increased by $176,303 thousand; current income tax liabilities increased by $31 thousand; other equity decreased by $350 thousand. In addition, gain on financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss increased by $182 thousand; realized gains on available-for-sale financial $350 thousand in the year ended December 31, 2012. The adoption of the IFRS policy on regular way purchase or sale of financial asset had adjusted the accounts as of January 1, 2012 as follows: Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss increased by $9,593 thousand; payables increased by $9,593 thousand; available-for-sale financial asset decreased by $116,029 thousand; receivables increased by $116,029 thousand; other equity increased by $8,290 thousand and retained earnings decreased by $8,290 thousand. b) Financial assets carried at cost Under the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Financial Holding 117 118 Financial Information

Companies and Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Banks, unlisted stocks over which the Company waived no significant influences should be recognized as financial assets carried at cost. On conversion to IFRSs, financial assets designated as available-for-sale or equity instruments that are not designated as at fair value through profit or loss should be measured at fair values As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the Company had reclassified the financial assets carried at cost of $33,672 thousand in both years, to available-for-sale financial assets of $103,512 thousand and $74,161 thousand, respectively, and increased unrealized gains on available-for- sale financial assets of $69,840 thousand and $40,489 thousand, respectively. c) Deferred income tax assets or liabilities Under ROC GAAP, a valuation allowance is provided if it is more likely than not that a deferred income tax asset will not be realized. Under IFRSs, a deferred income tax asset is recognized only when it is probable that taxable profits will be available, against which the deferred income tax assets can be used; thus, a valuation allowance is not needed. In addition, under ROC GAAP, the deferred income tax assets and liabilities of the same taxable entity should offset each other and should be shown in the financial statements at their net value. On conversion to IFRSs, an entity should offset deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities against each other in the balance sheet only if: (a) the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and (b) the deferred income tax assets and the deferred income tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities that intend either to settle current income tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. As of January 1, 2012, the Company had reclassified other liabilities of $3,043,300 thousand (including reserve for land revaluation increment tax of $2,562,372 thousand) to deferred income tax assets of $187,448 thousand and deferred income tax liabilities of $3,230,748 thousand, respectively, in accordance with the foregoing accounting policy on deferred income tax assets/liabilities. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had reclassified other liabilities of $3,160,696 thousand (including reserve for land revaluation increment tax of $2,816,216 thousand) to deferred income tax assets of $347,098 thousand and deferred income tax liabilities of $3,507,794 thousand, respectively. d) Employee benefits - short-term compensated absences Under ROC GAAP, there is no specific accounting policy on short-term compensated absences. The short-term compensated absences are usually recognized as the vacation leaves are actually taken by the employees. On conversion to IFRSs, an entity should recognize the expected cost of short-term employee benefits as employees render services that increase their entitlement to these compensated absences. Under the IFRS accounting policy on short-term compensated absences, the Company had adjusted the accounts as of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012 as follows: Accrued expenses increased by $555,814 thousand and $539,363 thousand, respectively; and deferred income tax assets increased by $92,786 thousand and $91,293 thousand, respectively. In addition, in the year ended December 31, 2012, salary expense increased by $13,091 thousand and income tax expense decreased by $1,493 thousand. e) Employee benefits - actuarial gains and losses under defined benefit plan Under ROC GAAP, the unrecognized transitional net obligations resulting from the first-time adoption of SFAS No. 18 - “Accounting for Pensions” is amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected average remaining working lives of the employees who are still in service and expected to receive pension benefits and should be included in the net pension cost. In 2012 ANNUAL REPORT

addition, on conversion to IFRSs, the transitional policies of IAS 19 - “Employee Benefit” are not applicable. Thus, the effects of the unrecognized transitional net obligations should be recognized immediately, and the retained earnings should be adjusted accordingly. Under ROC GAAP, actuarial gains and losses are recognized by the corridor approach and amortized over the expected average remaining service lives of the employees who are still in service and expected to receive pension benefits. On conversion to IFRSs, IAS 19 requires that actuarial gains and losses under the defined benefit plan be immediately recognized under other comprehensive income. Actuarial gains and losses recognized under comprehensive income should be recognized immediately under retained earnings, and they should not be reclassified to profit or loss in the subsequent period. The Company had revaluated its defined benefit plan in accordance with IAS 19. The Company also adjusted the accounts as of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012 in accordance with IFRS 1 as follows: Accrued pension liabilities increased by $1,511,723 thousand and $1,295,205 thousand, respectively; and prepaid pension (part of other assets, net) increased by $308 thousand and $1,181 thousand, respectively. In addition, pension cost decreased by $34,838 thousand; and actuarial losses under defined benefit plan increased by $252,229 thousand in the year ended December 31, 2012. f) Employee benefits - preferential rates for employees’ deposits Under IAS 19 - “Employee Benefits”, the interest expense for the preferential rates for employees’ deposits in excess of market rate should be treated as employee benefits. Under IFRSs, the preferential rates for retired employees’ deposits in excess of market rate should be treated as post-employment benefits, and recognized under personnel expenses based on actuarial calculations. Under the revised Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Financial Holding Companies and the revised Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Banks, the personnel expense for the preferential rate for employees’ deposits would not be recognized until the employees retire. In addition, the accounting treatment for the preferential interest-related amounts before employees retire could be the same as under ROC GAAP, i.e., recognized at actual cost under the accrual basis. As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the Company had measured the preferential rates for retired employees’ deposits in excess of market rate in accordance with IAS 19 - “Employee Benefits”, the revised Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Financial Holding Companies, the revised Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Banks and the other relevant directives. The Company thus adjusted the accounts as follows: Provision for employee benefits increased by $4,071,458 thousand and $3,727,488 thousand, respectively; deferred income tax assets increased by $692,148 thousand and $633,673 thousand, respectively as of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012. In addition, the expenses on employee benefits increased by $1,147,740 thousand, equaling the amount of change in post-employee benefits; interest expense decreased by $803,770 thousand and income expense decreased by $58,475 thousand. Furthermore, the excessive interest of $487,859 thousand resulted from the preferential rates for current employees were reclassified under expenses on employee benefits. g) Security brokerage, debit and credit Under the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms, the security brokerage account should be recorded at net value. On conversion to IFRSs, IAS 32 - “Financial Instruments: Presentation” specifies the offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities, with the net amount reported under certain conditions, otherwise, the assets and liabilities should not be offset and should be recorded separately in accordance with their nature. As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, a debit of $12,596 thousand and $8,054 119 120 Financial Information

thousand, respectively, on security brokerage (part of other assets) were reclassified to (a) receivables of $1,847,926 thousand and $1,301,981 thousand, respectively; (b) other assets of $2,218 thousand and $0 thousand, respectively; (c) payables of $1,837,548 thousand and $1,293,927 thousand, respectively. h) Properties and Equipment/Investment properties Under ROC GAAP, the Company’s nonoperating assets are recognized under other assets. On conversion to IFRSs, except the properties held by the owner or lessee to earn rentals or for capital appreciation should be recognized under investment properties, the other properties should be recognized under properties and equipment. As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the Company had reclassified from other assets amount to $2,779,658 thousand and $3,199,418 to properties and equipment, respectively, and $1,152,374 thousand and $1,204,057 thousand to investment properties, respectively. TCB revalued its land based on the present value announced on January 1, 2012. As result of the revaluation, properties and equipment increased by $909,872 thousand; deferred income tax liabilities increased by 262,509 thousand; unrealized revaluation increments increased by 647,363 thousand and transferred it to retained earnings as of January 1, 2012. i) Reconciliations of retained earnings The difference between the retained earnings under ROC GAAP and those under IFRSs as of January 1, 2012 mainly resulted from the debits of (a) $3,093,815 thousand increase in provision for preferential rates for retired employees’ deposits liabilities, (b) $1,294,024 thousand increase in the actuarial losses under the defined benefit plan, (c) $448,070 thousand increase in liabilities of short-term compensated absences, (d) $213,053 thousand increase in other adjustment and from the credits of (a) $6,082,090 thousand in unrealized revaluation increments, (e) $57,313 thousand in cumulative translation adjustments. j) Presentation in the statement of comprehensive income On conversion to IFRSs, the items in the statement of comprehensive income are classified by the nature of each account. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the interest revenue and interest expense generated from the financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss, which amounted to $391,663 thousand and $40,396 thousand, respectively, should be recognized under gains (losses) on financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, and the proceeds of recovered bad debts and overdue account are presented in accordance with interest revenue; and net gains on the sale of non-performing loans of $586,772 thousand is presented in accordance with interest revenue. k) Other accounts in the balance sheet are presented in accordance with IFRSs. c. Special reserves made on the date of transition to IFRSs As stated in the Financial Supervisory Commission’s letter dated April 6, 2012 (Ref. No. 1010012865), on the first-time adoption of IFRSs, a special reserve should be appropriated from the balance of the retained earnings at an amount that is equal to the portion of retained earnings transferred from unrealized revaluation increment or positive cumulative translation adjustments in the stockholders’ equity section by applying the related IFRS 1 exemption. The Company could only appropriate the amount of the retained earnings recognized at the date of transition if which is less than which should be reserved, and revise the reversed in the proportion of appropriating to the retained earnings for distributing the dividends, while using, disposing or reclassification of the related assets. Thus, the Company appropriated the special surplus amounted to $1,090,441 thousand from retained earnings on the first-time adoption of IFRSs. d. The Company has prepared the above assessments in compliance with (a) the 2010 version of the 2012 ANNUAL REPORT

IFRSs translated by the ARDF and issued by the FSC and (b) Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Financial Holding Companies and the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Banks amended and issued by the FSC on December 26, 2011. (c) Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms amended and issued on December 29, 2011. These assessments may be changed as the regulators may issue new rules governing the adoption of IFRSs. Actual accounting policies adopted under IFRSs in future may differ from those contemplated during the assessments. 47. OTHER SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS a.

The Company’s increased investment it its subsidiaries via cash capital increase in September 2012, in line with the subsidiaries’ needs to reinforce their capital structures and upgrade their capital adequacy, is as follows:  Taiwan Cooperative Bank, Ltd. Increased investment of NT$17.772 billion, for an increase of NT$25 per share; increased shareholding of 710,880,000 shares, with no change in the 100% shareholding following the capital increase.  BNP Paribas Assurance TCB Life Insurance Co. Ltd. Increased investment of NT$1.02 billion, for an increase of NT$10 per share; increased shareholding of 102 million shares, with no change in 51% shareholding following the capital increase.  BNP Paribas TCB Asset Management Co.

7.2 Review of Investment Performance The Company’s primary source of profit in 2012 was the recognition of profits from of subsidiary companies, of which the Taiwan Cooperative Bank, Ltd., Co-operative Assets Management, Co., Ltd. and Taiwan Cooperative Bills Finance Corporation Ltd. enjoyed stable profit while Taiwan Cooperative Securities, BNP Paribas Assurance TCB Life Insurance, Co., Ltd. and BNP Paribas TCB Asset Management Co. Ltd. suffered losses:

1. Taiwan Cooperative Securities Co., Ltd. Factors such as the European debt crisis and the reimposition of the securities transaction tax in Taiwan led to a substantial contraction in overall stock market momentum, and the Company’s revenues from brokerage, underwriting, and proprietary businesses were less than expected. In addition, a relatively large amount of operating expenditures were initially needed following the Company’s establishment in December 2011, leading to losses. The Company will follow the strategies of operating location readjustment, promotion of joint marketing with the Taiwan Cooperative Bank, Ltd. and expansion of its customer financing balance with the aim of increasing operating revenue and creating profit.

2. BNP Paribas Assurance TCB Life Insurance Co., Ltd. The Company has been in operation less than three years since its establishment in 2010; and because 155 156 Financial Status and Risk Management

of the rapid increase in new contracts and the need for life insurance products to undergo a stage-by- stage recovery of reserves before they can bring positive profits to the company, it was impossible to achieve a profit in 2012. However, losses are on a declining trend. The Company will continue to lower costs by controlling expenditures and vigorously developing business while striving to strengthen income by turning loss to profit as quickly as possible.

3. BNP Paribas TCB Asset Management Co., Ltd. The Company was established at the end of 2012 and has raised four funds; it has not yet reached an economic scale and so is still in a state of loss, although the losses are already contracting. The Company will continue issuing new funds according to plan in order to build up a comprehensive product line, expand its business scale, and increase its revenues.

7.3 Investment Plans for 2013 To reinforce the financial structure of the Company’s subsidiaries and meet the needs of business expansion, Taiwan Cooperative Bills Finance Corporation Ltd. will increase its capital in line with its capital increase plan. Attention will continue to be devoted to the market development situation and, in line with the group’s development strategy, investment targets will be assessed with the aim of expanding the group’s business territory and upgrading its competitiveness.

7.4 Analysis of Risk Management 7.4.1 Risk Management Structure
