I.Message to Shareholders he year 2007 was beset by upheavals such as the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis and
recordsetting oil and rawmaterial prices that shook the growth of the global economy,
whose health was somewhat maintained by the often reported steady, robust economies
in China and India. A relative success story, Taiwan achieved a remarkable growth of 5.46% in
the year, as both export and import values hit record highs. In addition, despite the fluctuations of
the stock market and the steppedup pressure of stagflation, overall profits of domestic enterprises
grew and employment increased, which, along with governmental stimulus measures, enabled
private consumption and investments to advance 2.93% and 5.07%, respectively.
Capitalizing on the abundant resources of the Fubon Financial Holding Co. (FFH), the bank
performed well with crossselling, product and service innovation, and joint marketing. In terms
of corporate banking and with the strategy of actively soliciting major corporate clients, the Bank
extended NT$109.2 billion in domestic syndicated loans, achieving a market share of 12.37%,
ranking first place. Outstanding corporate loans stood at NT$324.5 billion at the end of 2007, up
24.18% from a year earlier; while wealthmanagement fee income jumped 83% to NT$6.6 billion
in the year, boosting the share of overall net management fee income to total net income to
27.18%, up 3.19 percentage points. With the credit and cash card debts storm gradually subsiding,
the bank took aggressive credit cardissuance and promotional strategies, issuing 100,000 new
credit cards to boost the card consumption total by 5% in 2007. Thanks to the active cooperation
with real estate agencies and other realty firms, the Bank’s extension of new mortgage loans grew
8.86%, helping to strengthen its business expansion and get out of the shadow of the credit and
cash card debts storm.
Backed by its successful experience in issuing the national publicwelfare lottery, the Bank again
won the exclusive franchise to issue the “sports lottery” amid harsh competition. Besides helping
the bank to diversify its business, the Bank’s winning the sports lottery franchise also can help the
firm to generate revenues to fund various charities, including subsidizing the annuity program,
reserves for the national healthinsurance program, and job creation programs for the
underprivileged.
The Bank’s board of directors approved the adoption of the “copresident” system on Nov. 28,
2007, and further approved by Financial Supervisory Commission on Jan. 15, 2008;
therefore,Chaoyang Kao, and Jerry Harn, both senior executive vice president, were promoted to
the president, with Kao serving as the president of retail banking, in charge of the “consumer
T
2
banking group” and the “financial services group”, and Harn as the president for institutional
banking, responsible for the “corporate banking group”, the “financial markets group” and the
“government banking”. The Bank is confident that better performance will be reached through the
mutual cooperation of the copresidents.
The Bank carefully controls its asset quality while pursuing business growth and profits. With its
nonperforming loan (NPL) ratios and coverage ratios reaching the outstanding levels of 1.19%
and 67.32%, respectively, the bank succeeds in strengthening its business and development.
Owing to satisfactory business performance and asset quality, Taiwan Ratings Corp. announced
on November 13, 2007 that it maintained the bank’s longterm rating of “twAA+”,shortterm
rating of “twA1+”, and future outlook of “stable”,reflecting the bank’s superior profitmaking
ability and asset quality.
Looking ahead in 2008, under the spreading effect of the subprime mortgage crisis and the
pressure of stagflation, the global economic growth may slow somewhat. Local banks will face
strong competition from various international financial institutions in the wake of theiracquiring
domestic banks. Amid the rigorous financial market situation, the bank will focus on the
improvement of various business flows and the establishment of performanceoriented
management system, with the aim of pushing various businesses, developing new products,
deepening client relationship, enhancing service quality, expanding business scale, strengthening
international competitiveness, and fully manifesting crossselling function and integration
synergy via cooperation with other subsidiaries of the financial holding firm. Moreover, The Bank
will attempt to make the most of the emerging business opportunities in Greater China, in addition
to exploring the Chinese market by working with the Fubon Bank ( Hong Kong), aiming to
position itself as the firstclass financial institution in Asia. With the continued support and care
from our shareholders, board directors/supervisors, and clients, the Bank will spare no efforst to
better its performance and contribute more to Fubon Financial Holding, so as to live up to its
obligations to its shareholders and as an upstanding corporate member of society.

II. Corporate Profile 1.Introduction
(1)Establishment Date and Basis:
TAIPEIBANK was established on Apr. 21, 1969 by Ministry of Finance Order (57) Tsai
Tzu No. 7864
(2)History
n TAIPEIBANK was established in coordination with national financial policy on Apr.
21, 1969 with capital provided by the the Taipei City Government, to regulate local
finances, support municipal construction, and act as agent for the municipal treasury.
Its name at that time was “City Bank of Taipei,” and its business territory was limited
to the city. Since at the time of its establishmen, was a financial institution owned by
the city government and did not have the status of a corporation, the bank was
reorganized as a company limited by shares on July 1, 1984.
n On Jan. 1, 1993, the Bank’s name was changed to TAIPEIBANK Co., Ltd. in line with
the establishment of its corporate identity system. With the government’s
implementation of financial liberalization, the following year TAIPEIBANK
expanded its business operations outside The City for the first time with the
establishment of the Kaohsiung Branch. On Jan. 20, 1995 permission was granted for
a change from a regional bank to a national bank and for expansion of the business
territory to the entire country. In 1997, in line with the policy of privatization of
government banks, shares were offered for subscription by employees and the general
public; this resulted in a further capital increase of NT$2 billion through cash
injection. TAIPEIBANK shares were formally listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange
on July 23, 1997. To carry through with the policy of privatization of government
enterprises, the Bank's main shareholder, the The City Government, released shares on
5
Nov. 30, 1999 and actively solicited buyers for them. As a result, the Bank was
formally reorganized as a private enterprise. TAIPEIBANK became a subsidiary of
the Fubon Financial Holding Co(Fubon FHC). on Dec. 23, 2002 in order that
longterm development, at the same time, the bank stopped all trades in the Taiwan
Stock Exchange.
n The Bank began operating under the Fubon FHC umbrella on December 23, 2002. At
the beginning it has maintained operations alongside Fubon Commercial Bank as an
independent entity. However, in order to preserve the brand position and strengths of
both parties, as well as minimizing potential repercussions, Fubon FHC then decide to
merge two banks through actively integration of information systems, workflow ,
organization and staff.
n After two years of intensive preparation, TAIPEIBANK and Fubon Commercial Bank
were officially merged into Taipei Fubon Commercial Bank on Jan. 1, 2005. The
integration of two banks marked the first and only successful fullscale merger of
operations between a large governmentowned bank and an accomplished private
bank in Taiwan. The move will not only help Fubon FHC expand its earnings
potential but also achieve a milestone in Taiwan financial merge history.
n The bank completed merger with Fubon Bills Finance, a 100%owned subsidiary of
the bank, on December 25, 2006, to achieve synergy between the bank and financial
holding firm, integrating bankingrelated businesses under the financial holding firm,
and reducing overlapping billsrelated business between the bank and Fubon Bills
Finance.

bank to push assets allocation and the business spirit highlighting investment products with diversified risks.
♦ The bank’s total deposits hit NT$816.1 billion at the end of 2007, up 5.21% over a year earlier. The growth is attributed to the various deposit projects and was achieved amid major capital outflow in Taiwan, caused by hectic overseas investment activities and the wide interest spread between the N.T. dollar and the U.S. dollar.
Consumer Banking ♦ The consumerbanking business group has consolidated its business strength and
laid a solid growth foundation, along with the improvement in product innovation and enhancement in service quality after one year of adjustment in 2007 , as a result, it has beengradually walking out of the shadow of the consumerbanking storm and ready to capture the the recovering consumerbanking market.

In addition, in order to tap quality housingloan clients by better utilizing the bank’s vast client pool, the bank offered the bank’s wealthmanagement clients “fortunemaking housing mortgage program,” to augment services for existing clients. Thanks to the hectic realty trading and aggressiveness of the bank in tapping business opportunities, the outstanding housing mortgage of the bank grew 8.86% in 2007. For unsecured loans, the bank focused on the employees of our corporate clients and salarytransfer accounts, via the pushing of salesmen and databasebased marketing, so as to expand the scale of unsecured loan assets. The bank also rolled out “interiordécor loan program” for housingloan clients, as well as “salarybased unsecured loans” for young clients.
♦ Despite the largescale contraction of the creditcard market resulting from the impact of the creditcard storm, the bank racked up relatively good performance in creditcard business, not only in the launch of various new products but also in common consumption and installmentrepayment consumption. The bank’s card spending value hit NT$119.6 billion in 2007, including consumption amount which grew 4.9%, higher than the market average of 2.4%.

Treasury
♦ NTdollar interest rates picked up on the CBC’s intensified effort in sterilized intervention, leading to increased market fluctuation at the same time. In order to enhance operating performance and profitmaking capability, the bank actively reviewed and analyzed operating strategy, major economic indicators, and possible market happenings in setting trading positions, which was supplemented with transactions in spread and bond options to decrease risk and cost. Major profit sources for fixedyield NTdollar investment businesses include interest differential of yielding transactions for bonds and capital gains from bond transactions. As profits from conditioned bond transactions are determined by the stability of client sources and the interest levels of transactions with repurchase agreement, effort must be made to increase client sources and reduce fund costs, so as to obtain stable income from the interest differential of yielding transactions for bonds.
♦ As the NTdollar yieldrate curve flattens, profits from interest differential shrink, necessitating the effort to raise the ratio of capital gains and increase income from offering bondlinked deposits to corporate clients. With the U.S. dollar interest rates having dropped from peak level due to the subprime mortgage crisis, plus rise in fund cost, interest differential of U.S. dollar investment position shrank. As a result, the income of foreigncurrency fixedyield investment business mainly came from the interest differential of structured products.
♦ Regarding FX transactions, in addition to the enhanced share of brokerage income, the bank endeavored to raise the share of trading profit at certain risk by grasping the trend of exchangerate swings, as well as simplify operating flow and integrate trading systems, so as to effectively cut operating costs and human errors.
♦ For bond option and bondlinked deposit, the bank will disintegrate related
13
products and engage in such transactions from the role of a market maker, while focusing on transactions in such derivatives as interest cap, floor, and swap options and structured IRD (interest rate derivatives).
♦ In view of the huge influence of interestrate hedging positions on the interestrate derivatives market, owing to the growing prevalence of transactions in interestrate options, the bank took part in the option market, so as to closely monitor the market status and tap business opportunities.
♦ The bank will engage in riskhedging trading for convertible bonds in an even more open and active manner, following the opening up of trading in riskhedging instruments by the regulator. Meanwhile, further increase in lowerrisk fee income from convertible bonds is expected to lower the profit risks related to convertible bonds.
Trust
♦ Along with increasing realty transactions, the need for shareholding transfer for corporate mergers, and enhanced trading security for virtual channels, the bank actively pushed tradingsecurity trust business in 2007 to strengthen the mutual trust of trading parties, manage transactionrelated cash flow, and assure the obtaining of properties/objects by the buyers. Tradingsecurity trust involves the custody of specific documents, contracts, money, securities, or other assets basing on the requirements of individual cases,, which will be handed over to specific parties following the fulfillment of specific conditions.
♦ In 2007, the bank successfully completed a number of cases via cooperation between the trust department and financing units, in addition to planning and carrying out according to the needs of individual cases, money trust for major land transactions and trust for shareholding transfer among major shareholders. The bank will endeavor to increase the undertaking of tradingsecurity trust business, as well as formulate tailormade trust contracts to meet the diversified needs of clients.
Government Treasury Services
♦ In addition to its own business units, the bank has entrusted 33 peers in establishing 846 outlets for the surrogate collection of various taxes and fees in Taipei city. Meanwhile, for further enhancing the quality of governmenttreasury services, the bank entrusted convenience stores for surrogate fee collection for various public units of Taipei city, including Neihu Vocational High School, Taipei City Public Functionaries Training Center, Taipei City Market Administration Office, the Department of Urban Development, and the Department of Environmental Protection. Meanwhile, the bank carried out eoperation for surrogate collection entrusted with peers, including Mega Bank, First Bank, Chang Hua Bank, Hwatai Bank, and First Capital Commercial Bank. In addition, it simplified operating flow for the surrogate fee collection for Taipei city utilities, added various online services, and continued promoting barcode documents and file transmission among government units and schools in the city, in the hope of providing citizens convenient governmenttreasury services and saving on manpower, resources, and expenses.
♦ To diversify financing sources for the government, in addition to various project loans associated with the government’s policy, the bank offered various loans to
14

TAIPEI FUBON COMMERCIAL BANK CO., LTD.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006 (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise)
1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS
TAIPEI FUBON COMMERCIAL BANK Co., Ltd. (the “Bank”) started as a financial institution under the Taipei City Government (TCG) in 1969. On July 1, 1984, it was reorganized into a limited liability corporation and was renamed City Bank of Taipei Co., Ltd. The Bank was subsequently renamed TAIPEIBANK Co., Ltd. (“TAIPEIBANK”) on January 1, 1993. The Bank was privatized on November 30, 1999 through the sale of its shares of stock to the public, with the holdings of the TCG reduced to less than 50% of the Bank’s outstanding capital stock. In their special meeting on October 4, 2002, the stockholders approved the share swap, which resulted in the Bank’s becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fubon Financial Holdings Company (FFH). The board of directors designated December 23, 2002 as the effective date of the share swap and the date when the Bank’s stocks were delisted from the Taiwan Stock Exchange.
To fully harness the synergy of two diversified business operations and reduce operating costs, the boards of directors of the Bank and Fubon Bank Co., Ltd. (“Fubon Bank,” a wholly owned subsidiary of FFH) decided on January 1, 2005 to combine these two entities. On January 1, 2005, the Bank acquired the assets and liabilities of Fubon Bank through a share swap and renamed as Taipei Fubon Commercial Bank Co., Ltd.
On September 20, 2006, the boards of directors of the Bank and Fubon Bills Finance Co., Ltd. (FBFC) decided to merge the Bank and FBFC to strengthen the operating synergy and lower operating cost. The Bank, the survivor entity, set December 25, 2006 as the effective merger date.
The Bank engages in the following: (a) all commercial banking operations authorized under the Banking Law; (b) trust operations; (c) handling of the lottery operations; (d) futures trading assistance and (e) other authorized operations. In addition to carrying out the foregoing activities, the Bank continues to handle certain functions for the TCG, which primarily include the acceptance of payments of taxes, fines and other fees as well as payments of principal and interest on bonds issued by the TCG.
The Bank has its head office in Taipei City, and as of December 31, 2007, its 4 major operating departments were Banking, Trust, Lottery, and Public Treasury departments, with 128 branches (including one offshore banking unit (OBU) and 3 overseas branches).

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Bank’s financial statements were prepared in conformity with the Criteria Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Banks, Criteria Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Futures Commission Merchants, requirements of the Business Accounting Law, Guidelines Governing Business Accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China (ROC). In determining the fair value of certain financial instruments, allowance for credit losses, depreciation, assets impairment, pension, income tax, losses upon suspended lawsuit and provision for losses on guarantees, the Bank needs to make estimates based on judgment and available information. The estimates were usually made under uncertain conditions, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Since the operating cycle could not be reasonably identified in the banking industry accounts included in Bank’s financial statements were not classified as current or noncurrent. Nevertheless, accounts wee properly categorized according to the nature of each account, and sequenced by their liquidity. Please refer to Note 33 for the maturity analysis of assets and liabilities.
The Bank’s significant accounting policies are summarized as follows:
Basis of Financial Statement Preparation The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the head office, the OBU and all branches and representative offices. All interoffice balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Translation of Foreigncurrency Financial Statements The financial statements of foreign branches and the OBU are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the following exchange rates:
a. Assets and liabilities at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date; b. Stockholders’ equity at historical exchange rates; c. Retained earning at the beginning balance not remitted at the translated beginning balance;
and d. Income and expenses at average exchange rates for the year. e. Exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign
operations are recognized as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
Foreigncurrency Transactions Nonderivative foreigncurrency transactions are recorded in New Taiwan dollars at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occur. Exchange differences arising from settlement of foreigncurrency assets and liabilities are recognized as gain or loss.
At the balance sheet date, foreigncurrency monetary assets and liabilities are revalued at prevailing exchange rates, and the exchange differences are recognized as gain or loss.
At the balance sheet date, foreigncurrency nonmonetary assets (such as equity instruments) and liabilities that are measured at fair value are revalued at prevailing exchange rates, with the exchange differences treated as follows: a. Recognized in stockholders’ equity if the changes in fair value are recognized in stockholders’
equity; b. Recognized as gain or loss if the changes in fair value are recognized as gain or loss.
41
Foreigncurrency nonmonetary assets and liabilities that are carried at cost continue to be stated at exchange rates at trade dates.
Fair Values Determination Fair values are determined as follows: (a) listed stocks and GreTai Securities Market (GTSM, the overthecounter securities exchange) stocks closing prices as of the balance sheet date; (b) beneficiary certificates (openend fundx) net asset values as of the balance sheet date; (c) bonds periodend reference prices published by the GTSM or Bloomberg; (d) investment with no active market based on information provided by the counterparties.
Financial Instruments at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss Financial instruments classified as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) include financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading and those designated as at FVTPL on initial recognition. The Bank recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability on its balance sheet when the Bank becomes a party to a financial instrument contract. A financial asset is derecognized when the Bank lose its contractual rights to the financial asset. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged or canceled or expires.
Financial instruments at FVTPL are initially measured at fair value. At each balance sheet date after initial recognition, financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are remeasured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized directly as gain or loss in the year in which they arise. On the derecognition of a financial asset or a financial liability, the difference between its carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable or consideration paid and payable is recognized as gain or loss. The Bank uses trade date accounting when recording transaction.
A derivative that does not meet the criteria for hedge accounting is classified as a financial asset or a financial liability held for trading. If the fair value of the derivative is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; otherwise, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.
Financial asset and financial liabilities that give rise to offsetting changes in fair values may be designated as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss to eliminate inconsistencies in measuring these instruments. Thus, under the Bank’s risk management policies and investment strategies, financial assets, financial liabilities or their combination will be designated as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss.
Repurchase and Resell Transactions Securities purchased under resell agreements and securities sold under repurchase agreements are generally treated as collateralized financing transactions. Interest earned on resell agreements and interest incurred on repurchase agreements is recognized as interest income or interest expense over the life of each agreement.
Availableforsale Financial Assets Availableforsale financial assets are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains or losses on availableforsale financial assets are reported in equity attribute to the Bank’s stockholders. On disposal of an availableforsale financial asset, the accumulated, unrealized gain or loss in equity attributable to the Bank’s stockholders is transferred to net profit and loss for the period. The Bank uses trade date accounting when recording availableforsale portfolio transactions.
The recognition, derecognition and the fair value bases of availableforsale financial assets are similar to those of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
42
Dividend income from equity securities is recognized on exdividend dates. Cash dividends received within a year after investment acquisition are recognized as a reduction of the carrying value of the investments and are subsequently recognized as income. Stock dividends received are accounted for only as increases in the number of the shares and are not recognized as income. The effective interest rate method of amortization and accretion is used, the straight line method is used if there is no significant difference. If an availableforsale financial asset is determined to be impaired, the accumulative unrealized loss previously recognized in equity attributable to the Bank’s stockholders is recognized as impairment loss and reported in income statement. For equity investments, loss reversal is adjusted to the equity attributable to the Bank stockholders. For debt investments, loss reversal is credited to current income.
Nonperforming Loans Under “Regulations Governing the Procedures for Banking Institutions to Evaluate Assets and Deal with Nonperforming/Nonaccrual Loans” (the “Regulations”) issued by the Ministry of Finance, the balances of loans and other credits extended by the Bank and the related accrued interest are classified as nonperforming when the loan is overdue and shall be authorized by a resolution passed by the board of directors. Nonperforming loans reclassified from loans are recognized as discounts and loans; otherwise, are recognized as other financial assets.
Allowance for Possible Losses and Reserve for Losses on Guarantees In determining the allowance for credit losses and provision for losses on guarantees, the Bank assesses the collectibility of discounts and loans, bills purchased, accounts receivables, interest receivables, acceptances and other receivables, and nonperforming loans as well as guarantees as of the balance sheet dates. Under the Regulations issued by the Ministry of Finance, the Bank evaluates the collectibility of its loan portfolio on the basis of its clients’ financial position, their payment histories and timeliness of repayments of principals and interests.
The Bank evaluates credit losses on the basis of the estimated collectibility. In accordance with the Regulations stated above, the loan assets divided into different classes subject to assets that require special mentioned, assets that are substandard, assets that are doubtful, and assets for which there is loss. The minimum allowance for credit losses and provision for losses on guarantees for the aforementioned classes should be 2%, 10%, 50% and 100% of outstanding credits, respectively. Certain loans as defined under Banking Bureau guidelines and approved by the board of directors for writeoff are offset against the allowance for credit losses. The repayments of loans written off are recorded as a reversal of this allowance.
Heldtomaturity Financial Assets Heldtomaturity financial assets are carried at amortized cost, which are valued by interest method. On initial recognition, the costs of the financial assets are valued at their fair value plus the acquisition costs. The net gain or loss on heldtomaturity financial assets is derecognized upon asset disposal, impairment or amortization. The Bank uses trade date accounting when recording transactions.
If a heldtomaturity financial asset is determined to be impaired, the impairment loss is recognized and reported in the income statement. Loss reversal is credited to current income and should not be more than the carrying amount had the impairment loss not been recognized.
43
Equity Investments Equity Method Equity investments are accounted for by the equity method if the Bank has significant influence over the investees. Under this method, investments are stated at cost plus (or minus) a proportionate share in the investees’ net earnings (losses) or changes in net worth. Cash dividends received are accounted for as a reduction of the carrying values of the investments. Starting January 1, 2006, goodwill is no longer amortized and is instead tested annually for impairment. Before January 1, 2006, any difference between the acquisition cost and the equity in the investee’s net assets, or goodwill, was amortized over five years.
Stock dividends received are accounted for only as increases in the number of shares held and are not recognized as income.
Costs of investments sold are determined using the movingaverage method.
Intangible Assets Computer software is amortized on a straightline basis over five years.
Properties Properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major renewals, additions and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation is calculated using the straightline method over service lives estimated as follows: buildings and improvements, 5 to 60 years; computers and peripheral equipment, 3 to 15 years; transportation and communication equipment, 3 to 10 years; and miscellaneous equipment, 3 to 20 years. For assets still in use beyond their original estimated service lives, further depreciation is calculated on the basis of newly estimated salvage value.
The cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts when property is disposed of, and any gain or loss is credited or charged to other noninterest net revenues.
Other Financial Assets Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market, and whose fair value that cannot be reliably measured, are measured at cost. If there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired, an impairment loss is recognized and reversal of impairment loss is prohibited.
Debt instruments with no quoted market prices in an active market and with fair values that cannot be reliably measured are carried at amortized cost. The accounting treatment of these instruments is similar to that of heldtomaturity investments except for the absence of any prohibition on the sale these debt instruments.
Operating Leases The Bank has operating lease agreements on the office spaces used by its branches. The imputed interest on lease deposits (included in other financial assets), computed using the interest rate on oneyear time deposits, is charged to business expenses rent and credited to interest income.
Unrealized Sale and Leaseback Gain or Loss Sale and leaseback happen when the Bank sells an asset and then leases it back. The related unrealized gains or losses are deferred and amortized over the lease period.
44
Reserve for Losses on Defaults and Trading Loss Reserve The reserve for trading losses should be used only to cover a trading loss in excess of trading profit. When the accumulated trading loss reserve reaches $200,000 thousand, no additional reserve for trading loss is required to be set aside.
Under the regulations of the Securities and Futures Bureau, the Bank should recognize monthly a trading loss reserve at 10% of net gain on sales of securities and record this reserve as a liability account.
Under the Rules Governing Futures Commission Merchants, a futures commission merchant engaging in futures proprietary business should set aside 10% of the net profit realized each month as reserve for trading losses.
The reserve for trading losses referred to in the preceding paragraph should not be used for purposes other than covering the trading loss in excess of trading profit. When the accumulated trading loss reserve reaches the amount of required minimum working capital, no additional reserve for trading loss is required to be set aside.
Interest Revenue and Service Fees Interest revenue on loans is recorded by the accrual method. No interest revenue is recognized in the accompanying financial statements on loans and other credits extended by the Bank that are classified as nonperforming loans. The interest revenue on these loans/credits is recognized upon collection.
Under the Ministry of Finance regulations, the interest revenue on credits covered by agreements that extend their repayment periods is recorded as deferred revenue (included in other liabilities) and recognized as revenue upon collection.
Service fees are recorded as revenue upon receipt and substantial completion of activities involved in the earnings process.
Pension The Bank has two types of pension plans: Defined benefit and defined contribution.
Pension expense under defined benefit pension plan is determined on the basis of actuarial calculations. Unrecognized net transition obligation is amortized over the average remaining service years of employees. Under the defined contribution pension plan, which is based on the Labor Pension Act, is expensed during the period when the employees rendered their services.
Income Tax Interperiod income tax allocation is applied, in which tax effects of deductible temporary differences unused loss carryforward and unused investment tax credits are recognized as deferred income tax assets, and those of taxable temporary differences are recognized as deferred income tax liabilities. Valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets that are not certain to be realized.
Income tax credits for certain acquisitions of equipment, personnel training expenditures and equity investments are recognized as reduction of current income.
Interest income from shortterm bills has been taxed separately and recorded as tax expenses. The adjustment of prior year’s income tax was included in the current income tax.
45
The effect of which higher between regular income tax and basic tax had been considered in current income tax. Income taxes (10%) on unappropriated earnings after January 1, 1998 is recorded as income tax in the year when the stockholders resolve to retain these earnings. The Bank, FFH and its subsidiaries have used the linkedtax system for income tax filings since 2003. Under the related rules, the accounting procedure is applied systematically on a consistent basis. The related contributions or payments are accrued as receivables or payables, respectively.
Hedge Accounting Nontrading derivatives, which are used primarily as a risk management tool for hedging interest rate, exchange rate and credit risks arising on onbalance sheet liabilities, are accounted for on the same basis as that used for the underlying hedged items.
To qualify as a hedge, a derivative must effectively reduce any risk inherent in the hedged item from changes in interest rates, exchange rates and market values. Changes in the fair value of the derivative must be highly correlated with changes in the fair value of the hedged item over the life of the hedge contract. At the inception of the hedge, there must be a formal designation and documentation of the hedging relationship, the Bank’s risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, the hedging instrument, the hedged items, overall risk management objectives and strategies and how the entity will assess the hedging instrument’s effectiveness.
A fair value hedge that meets all hedge accounting criteria is accounted for as follows: a. The gain or loss from remeasuring the hedging instrument at fair value (for a derivative
hedging instrument) or the foreigncurrency component of its carrying amount (for a nonderivative hedging instrument) is recognized immediately as gain or loss; and
b. The carrying amount of the hedged item is adjusted through profit or loss for the corresponding gain or loss attributable to the hedged risk.
A cash flow hedge that meets all hedge accounting criteria is accounted for as follows:
The unrealized gain or loss from the hedging instrument was recognized as equity when the hedge took effect. If a hedge of a forecast transaction results in the recognition of a financial asset or a financial liability, the associated gains or losses that were recognized as equity should be reclassified into gain or loss. The Bank uses the fair value hedge to hedge the exposure to changes in fair value of a recognized asset or liability or a previously unrecognized firm commitment to buy or sell an asset or liability at a fixed interest rate. The cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to cash flow changes that are attributable to the floating interest rate associated with a recognized asset or liability.
Asset Impairment SFAS No. 35 requires the impairment review on equity investments equity method, properties, intangible assets to be made on each balance sheet date. If asset are deemed impaired, the Bank must calculate the recoverable amount of the asset or the cashgenerating unit. An impairment loss should be recognized whenever the recoverable amount of the asset or the cash generating unit is below the carrying amount, and this impairment loss is charged to accumulated impairment. After the recognition of an impairment loss, the depreciation (amortization) charged to the assets should be adjusted in the future periods at the revised asset carrying amount (net of accumulated impairment), less its salvage value, on a systematic basis over its remaining service life. 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) had the impairment not been recognized.
46
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 the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated or the loss is possible, the related information is disclosed in the financial statements.
Reclassifications Certain accounts of the 2006 financial statement have been reclassified to be consistent with the presentation of the 2007 financial statements.
3. ACCOUNTING CHANGES Effective January 1, 2007, the Bank adopted the newly released Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 37 “Accounting for Intangible Assets” and other standards amended for harmonizing with this standard. The Bank reassessed the service lives of and amortization method on recognized intangible asset.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Bank adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 34 “Accounting for Financial Instruments”, No. 36 “Disclosure and Presentation of Financial Instruments” and other standards amended for harmonizing with those two standards.
The Bank properly reclassifies the financial assets and financial liabilities when adopting aforementioned new accounting standards and related amendments to existing standards. The effects of the financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and derivative of fair value hedge are included in cumulative effect of accounting changes. The effects of the fair value change of availableforsale financial assets are included in stockholders’ equity adjustments.
The effect of adoption of the above SFASs were summarized as follows:
Cumulative Effect of

23. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
a. Capital stock
On January 1, 2006, the Bank had $28,131,175 thousand in authorized capital divided into 2,813,117 thousand shares with an NT$10.00 par value. On May 24, 2006, the Bank’s board of directors resolved to transfer a legal reserve portion of $8,682,875 thousand and capital surplus of $2,813,117 thousand to capital and to issue 1,149,599 thousand shares. As of December 31, 2007, the Bank’s authorized and issued and outstanding capital stock amounted to $39,627,167 thousand, divided into 3,962,716 thousand shares.
b. Capital surplus
Under the Company Law and related regulations, capital surplus may only be used to offset a deficit. However, capital surplus arising from the issuance of stock in excess of par value, stock issuance to effect a merger, reissuance of treasury stock or donation may also be declared as stock dividend. Capital surplus arising from the issuance of stock in excess of par value can only be declared as stock dividend within specified limits and cannot be declared as stock dividend in the same year that the stock is issued for cash.
c. Earnings appropriation
Based on the Bank’s Articles of Incorporation, the following should be appropriated from annual net income, less any deficit:
1) 30% as legal reserve;
2) Less than 5% as bonus to employees of all or part of the remainder and unappropriated earnings generated in period years, as determined by the board of directors.
Based on a directive issued by the Securities and Futures Bureau, an amount equal to the net debit balance of certain stockholders’ equity accounts should be transferred from unappropriated earnings to a special reserve. Any special reserve appropriated may be reversed to the extent of the decrease in the net debit balance.
Appropriations of earnings should be resolved by the stockholders in, and given effect to in the financial statements of, the year following the year of earnings generation. Under the Financial Holdings Company Law, the Bank’s board of directors is allowed to carry out the functions of stockholders’ meetings as defined by the Company Law.
Under the Company Law, legal reserve should be appropriated until the reserve equals the Bank’s paidin capital. This reserve may only be used to reduce or offset deficit. When the reserve reaches 50% of the Bank’s paidin capital, up to 50% of the reserve may be capitalized. The Banking Law limits the appropriation of all dividends to 15% of the Bank’s paidin capital if the legal reserve equals the Bank’s paidin capital.
Under the Integrated Income Tax System, which took effect on January 1, 1998, local resident and corporate stockholders are allowed tax credits calculated on the basis of the ratio of creditable tax to unappropriated earnings on the date of dividend distribution.
59
In May 2007 and 2006, the board of directors which execute rights and functions of stockholders’ meeting resolved the appropriations of the 2006 and 2005 earnings, respectively, as follows:
Appropriations of Earnings Per Share (NT$) 2006 2005 2006 2005
Legal reserve $ 131,936 $ 1,510,318 Cash dividends 300,000 3,612,640 $0.08 $1.28 Bonus to employees cash 3,078 35,241
$ 435,014 $ 5,158,199
Had the above bonuses to employees had been paid entirely in cash and charged to the earnings of 2006 and 2005, the basic after income tax earnings per share in 2006 would have remained at NT$0.11 but would have decreased from NT$1.15 to NT$1.14 in 2005.
Information on the appropriations of the earnings of 2007 is available online on the Market Observation Post System website of the Taiwan Stock Exchange.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Bank adopted the Statements of Financial Accounting Standard No. 34 “Accounting for Financial Instruments” and No. 36 “Disclosure and Presentation of Financial Instruments” and other standards amended for harmonizing with those two standards. The amount of the cumulative effect resulting from the change to new accounting principles refer to Note 3.
79
b. Methods and assumptions applied in estimating the fair values disclosures for financial instruments are as follows: 1) The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, due from the Central Bank and other
banks, securities purchased under agreements to resell, receivables (exclude tax receivables), call loans and due to banks, payables, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, borrowed funds, and remittances approximate their fair values because of the short maturities of these instruments.
2) For financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, availableforsale financial assets, heldtomaturity investments and hedging derivative financial instruments, fair value is best determined using quoted market prices. However, in many instance, there are no quoted market price for the Bank’s various financial instruments. In case where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using available indirect data and appropriate valuation methodologies.
Debt investments with no active market and bank debenture are valued using prescribed valuation method.
3) Discounts and loans, deposits are interestearning assets or interestbearing liabilities or fair value hedge. Thus, their carrying amounts represent fair values.
4) The fair values of equity investment equity method and unquoted equity instruments are estimated at carrying amounts because they have no quoted prices in an active market.
5) If quoted price for derivatives is not available, fair values of forward contracts and interest rate swap contracts are based on estimates using present value techniques. Options’ fair value are based on estimates using the BlackScholes model.
6) Fair values of forward contracts are estimated using the forward rates provided by Reuters. Fair values of interest rate swap contracts and crosscurrency swap contracts are estimated using the market quotations provided by Bloomberg, but the fair value of parts of these contracts are provided by the counterparties.
7) Refundable deposits have no specified maturity date and thus its market value is estimated based on its carrying value in the balance sheet. The carrying value of the guarantee deposits received is the reasonable base for estimating market value for carrying value is the current payoff price.
c. Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities determined based upon quoted market prices or estimates summarized as follows:
Quoted Market Prices Fair Value Based on Estimates December 31 December 31
2007 2006 2007 2006 Financial assets Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss $ 1,728,941 $ 17,689,512 $ 18,913,679 $ 9,719,857 Availableforsale financial assets 58,653,494 44,708,672 26,905,548 30,472,910 Heldtomaturity investments 5,850,109 4,808,367 Other financial assets 27,936,747 27,566,955 Financial liabilities Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss 7,604,838 4,351,206 Bank debentures 3,347,151 10,849,811 35,410,256 52,531,217 Other financial liabilities 2,814,179 3,952,027
For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, valuation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss were gain amounting to $1,124,258 thousand and loss amounting to $15,004 thousand, respectively.
80
In 2007 and 2006, for financial assets and liabilities other than those at fair value through profit or loss, interest revenues were $35,571,945 thousand and $40,943,514 thousand, respectively, and interest expenses were $17,759,563 thousand and $21,886,097 thousand, respectively.
On availableforsale financial assets, losses of $473,586 thousand in 2007 and $1,211,743 thousand in 2006 were charged to stockholders’ equity. In addition, $961,552 thousand and $420,211 thousand on these assets were deducted from stockholders’ equity and charged to current income of 2007 and 2006, respectively.
d. Financial risk information
1) Market risk The Bank engages into bonds, bills, loans and other similar financial instruments transactions. The values of those commodities will fluctuate with market interest rates on the balance sheet date. The interest rate sensitivity information is described in Note 36.
2) Credit risk The Bank is exposed to credit risk in the event of default on contracts by counterparties. To control this risk, the Bank makes credit commitments and issues financial guarantees and standby letters of credit only after careful evaluation of customers’ credit worthiness. On the basis of the result of the credit evaluation, the Bank may require collateral before drawings are made against the credit facilities. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the ratio of secured loans to total loans were 53.54% and 52.11%, respectively. The ratios of secured financial guarantees and standby letters of credits were from 0% to 50%, and the average for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were about 28.7% and 40.59%, respectively. Collaterals held vary but may include cash, inventories, marketable securities, and other properties. When the customers default, the Bank will, as required by circumstances, foreclose the collaterals or execute other rights arising out of the guarantees given. Since most of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash demands. The maximum potential amount of future payments represents the notional amounts that could be lost under the guarantees if there were a total default by the guaranteed parties, without consideration of possible recoveries under recourse provisions or from collaterals held or pledged.
The maximum credit exposure of the offbalance sheet financial instruments are summarized as follows:
December 31 2007 2006
Credit card commitments for credit card $ 221,438,858 $228,050,486 Financial guarantees and standby letter of credit 67,379,932 55,168,298 Undrawn loan commitments 95,207,125 99,658,120
The credit risk amounts of counterparties presented above were offbalance sheet credit risk contracts with positive amounts on the balance sheet. Concentrations of credit risk exist when changes in economic, industry or geographic factors similarly affect groups of counterparties whose aggregate credit exposure is material in relation to the Bank’s total credit exposure.
81
The Bank maintains a diversified portfolio, limits its exposure to any one geographic region, country or individual creditor and monitors the exposure on a continuous basis. The Bank’s most significant concentrations of credit risk were summarized as follows:

The panels were set up to enhance the Bank’s credit risk control, funding efficiency, financial operation market risk control and operation risk control. The panels meet monthly and whenever needed. For enhanced management of the credit exposures of various groups within the Bank as well as the credit cases involving big amounts, the credit audit committee has been established.
For enhanced independence of the Bank’s risk management, a chief risk officer was designated in March 2005 to monitor and evaluate corporate banking credit risk, consumer banking credit risk, finance transactions and investment market risk and be responsible for the buildup of a risk management hierarchy.
84

1) General qualitative disclosure a) Strategy and procedure
i. Credit risk domain Credit risk strategy is based on the Bank’s overall risk management target and sound credit principles, using effective credit risk management mechanisms to identify, evaluate, manage and monitor credit risk and ensure that business operations are within a tolerablerisk range by interpreting and analyzing the credit information provided by the Joint Credit Information Center and the Taiwan Clearing System.
ii. Market risk domain
The Bank’s market risk strategy is based on its overall risk management target. The Bank identifies, evaluates, manages, monitors market risk and efficiently controls the risks on interest rates, exchange rates, equity securities prices and fund liquidity.
Following the established market risk management principles, the market risk management unit identifies, evaluates and controls the Bank’s market risk. It also provides management information and reports to supervisors concerned to help control the Bank’s overall market risk.
iii. Operating risk domain
Based on the Bank’s overall risk management target, the operation risk strategy is to identify, evaluate, control and monitor effectively and efficiently all the risks on all commodities, services, operations and systems and take suitable risk writeoff measures.
In 2004, the Bank established a new operating risk system, which included the setup of operating risk management policies. Each department established, for each industry, its main risk indicators and risk monitoring points, making operation risk monitoring point selfassessment and main risk indicators evaluation to identify and quantify existing or potential operating risks and take preventive measures immediately.
b) Related organization and hierarchy of risk management system Please refer to the risk management hierarchy chart shown in Note 33a.
c) The range and characteristics of the risk report and evaluation system i. Credit risk domain
Under its overall risk management policy, the Bank set up credit risk management principles and procedures as well as an integrated risk management system with Fubon Financial Holdings Co., Ltd. (FFH). In mid2005, the Bank initiated a Basel risk management project, with project members including prestigious international risk system firms, data warehousing system firms and risk management consulting firms. In the credit risk domain, Foundation IRB will be introduced to establish a quantified riskrating and risk data warehousing system, defaultforecasting and lossforecasting models, and a mechanism for asset portfolio risk management and risk pricing.
86
ii. Market risk domain
Market risk comprises risks resulting from fluctuations of interest rates, exchange rates and stock prices. The Bank evaluates market risks and has set a suitable exposure limit and stoploss limit by using sensitivity analysis to help ensure that risks stay within a tolerable range. The Bank will coordinate with FFY to establish a management system that can use the Internal Model approach IMA in the market risk domain.
iii. Operation risk domain
The Bank has used standard operating risk management procedures. To enhance the identification and control of operating risks, the Bank has defined operating risks by level of severity and required all its branches and section centers to follow the operating risk management procedures.
d) Hedging strategy and procedures and effectiveness of hedge monitoring
i. Credit risk
In managing credit risks, the Bank uses a systematic credit rating technique and various risk management measures based on risk ratings, and reviews periodically the results of risk management measures. Lowerlevel units of the Bank reports to higherlevel units on the effectiveness of risk management policies.
ii. Market risk
Under certain regulations issued by the authorities, the Bank set up derivatives processing procedures, to regulate the trading, settling, risk management and internal auditing departments. The Bank classifies all transactions into hedging/nonhedging based on the transaction purpose and this classification cannot be changed arbitrarily. The asset/liability & risk management committee and the Bank’s independent risk management department will execute continuing monitoring and management to ensure the effectiveness of transaction handling.
iii. Operation risk
To manage operation risks, the Bank strengthens its internal control system, trains its employees in risk management, and buys some insurance to cover the transfer and writeoff of risks.
The amounts of writtenoff or transferred operation risks are included in the operation risk control report to monitor continually and effectively the outcome of the risk writeoff or transfer.
