Except for the following, the initial application of the above new and revised Standards, Amendments and Interpretations had not had any material impact on the Group s accounting policies: a. Initial application of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments With regards to financial assets, IFRS 9 requires all recognized financial assets that are within the scope of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement to be subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value. Specifically, financial assets that are held within a business model by the

14 Group whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortized cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. All other financial assets are measured at their fair values at the balance sheet date. As for financial liabilities, the main changes are with regard to the classification and measurement of financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss. IFRS 9 requires that the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability, that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability, is presented in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability s credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. b. Since the FSC has not announced the effective dates for the above new and revised Standards, Amendments and Interpretations, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of the impact of the initial application of the Standards, Amendments and Interpretations on the financial position and results of the Group until a detailed review has been completed. 5. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES On May 14, 2009, the FSC announced the Framework for the Adoption of IFRSs by Companies in the ROC. In this framework, starting 2013, companies with shares listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange or traded on the Taiwan GreTai Securities Market or Emerging Stock Market or financial industry regulated by the FSC should prepare their consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRSs approved by the FSC. The consolidated financial statements of the Group are the first IFRS interim financial statements for part of the period covered by its first IFRS financial statements, the consolidated financial statements for The date of transition to IFRSs was January 1,. Refer to Note 57 for the impact of IFRS conversion on the consolidated financial statements. Basis of Preparation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain properties and financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. The opening consolidated balance sheet as of the date of transition to IFRSs was prepared in accordance with IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards. The applicable IFRSs have been applied retrospectively by the Group except for some aspects where other IFRSs prohibit retrospective application and specified areas where IFRS 1 grants limited exemptions from the requirements of other IFRSs. For the exemptions that the Group elected, refer to Note 57. The functional currency of Taishin Financial Holding is New Taiwan dollars. Thus, the consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan dollars. The Group categorized economic activities into operating, investing, and financing activities. The consolidated statements of cash flows reported the change of cash and cash equivalents in the current period based on operating, investing, and financing activities. Please refer to Note 7 for the components of cash and cash equivalents

15 The cash flow of operating activities was reported by using indirect method. Under the indirect method, profit or loss is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments, and items of income or expense associated with investing or financing cash flows. Interest paid and interest and dividends received are classified as operating cash flows. Dividends paid are classified as financing cash flow because they are cost of obtaining financial resources. When preparing the financial statements in accordance with the FSC-recognized IFRSs, the Group has to make certain significant accounting assumptions and estimates based on professional judgements to determine its accounting policies. Change in assumptions may result in significant effects on financial statements. The Group believes that the consolidated financial statements are reported based on appropriate assumptions. For items that required management s most difficult or complex judgements, or assumptions and estimates that significantly affect the financial statements, please refer to Note 6. Classification of Current/Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities Since the banking companies account for a substantial portion of the consolidated statements and because of banking business characteristics, classification of consolidated assets and liabilities according to the nature and the sequence of liquidity can provide more reliable and relevant information. Therefore, those assets and liabilities are not classified as current or noncurrent, but classified according to the nature and sequence of liquidity. In addition, maturity analysis of liabilities was disclosed in Note 46. Basis of Consolidation a. Principles for preparing consolidated financial statements The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of Taishin Financial Holding and the entities controlled by Taishin Financial Holding. Control is achieved when Taishin Financial Holding has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by Taishin Financial Holding. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation. Non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated balance sheets within equity, separate from the equity of the owners of Taishin Financial Holding. Attribution of total comprehensive income to non-controlling interests Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of Taishin Financial Holding and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance

16 Changes in the Group s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries Changes in the Group s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group s interests and the non-controlling interests should be adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owners of Taishin Financial Holding. When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date when control is lost and (ii) the assets (including any goodwill) and liabilities and any non-controlling interests of the former subsidiary at their carrying amounts at the date when control is lost. If the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group accounts for all amounts recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary on the same basis as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities (i.e. reclassifies to profit or loss, or transfers directly to retained earnings if required in accordance with other IFRSs). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. b. Business combinations Only when business combinations are in conformity with the FSC-recognized IFRS 3 Business Combinations can acquisitions of businesses be accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group and the equity interests issued by the Group, plus other expenses that could be directly attributed to the acquisition. The identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities or contingent liabilities assumed as the result of business combinations are recognized at their fair value at the acquisition-date and it is not necessary to consider non-controlling interests. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred over the net fair value amounts of the identifiable assets owned by the Group. If the net of the fair value amounts of the identifiable assets owned by the Group exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the excess is recognized immediately in profit or loss. When the combinations do not meet the definition of business combinations, the Group will allocate the acquisition costs over separate identifiable assets and liabilities. The recognition bases for assets and liabilities acquired are as follows: 1) Financial assets and liabilities are recognized at acquisition-date fair value, according to the FSC - recognized IFRS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. 2) The remaining amounts after deducting from the acquisition costs the recognition costs of financial assets and liabilities are allocated to other assets and liabilities based on the relative proportion of the acquisition-date fair value of the other assets and liabilities

In addition, the Group had lost the ability to control since June. Therefore, it was not included in the consolidated financial statements. Foreign Currencies In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency ) is used. Transactions in currencies other than the entity s functional currency are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. When several exchange rates are available, the rate used is that at which the future cash flows, represented by the transaction amount or balance, could have been settled if those cash flows had occurred at the measurement date. Non-monetary items measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated

18 Exchange differences arising from settlement are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except items that qualify as hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge are recognized initially in other comprehensive income to the extent that the hedge is effective. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary assets (such as equity investment) or liabilities measured at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period at the rates prevailing at the end of reporting period except for exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income, in which case, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income. The results and financial position of an entity whose functional currency is not the currency of a hyperinflationary economy but different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency using the following procedures: a. Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the date of the consolidated balance sheets; b. Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used; and c. All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. Exchange differences arising from the above procedures are recognized as Exchange differences from translation of foreign operation in equity. Exchange differences arising from net investments in foreign operation and hedge of a monetary item regarded as part of the net investments are recognized as other comprehensive income. When the foreign operation or part of the foreign operation is disposed of, exchange differences are recognized initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to profit or loss. Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition of that foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation. Thus, they are expressed in the functional currency of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are cash in vault, cash in banks, short-term time deposits and short-term financial instruments that must be readily convertible to a known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated balance sheet due from the Central Bank and call loans to banks and securities purchased under resell agreements that are in conformity with the definition of cash and cash equivalents in the FSC-recognized IFRS 7. Investment in Associates An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee without having control or joint control over those policies. The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. The Group also recognizes its share in the changes in the equity of associates
