AND SUBSIDIARIES YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND 2007 (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise) 1.ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS E.SUN FHC ANNUAL REPORT 2008 57 E.SUN Financial Holding Company, Ltd. (ESFHC) wa s e s ta blis h e d b y E .SU N C o m m e r c i a l Bank, Ltd. (“E.SUN Bank”), E.SUN Bills Finance Corp. (“E.SUN Bills”) and E.SUN Securities Corp. (“E.SUN Securities”) through a share swap on January 28, 2002 based on the Financial Holding Companies Law and related regulations in the Republic of China (ROC). The ESFHC’s shares have been listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE) since January 28, 2002. After the share swap, E.SUN Bank, E.SUN Bills and E.SUN Securities became wholly owned subsidiaries of ESFHC. E.SUN Securities Investment Trust Corp. (ESSIT) became a wholly owned subsidiary of ESFHC through a share swap on September 16, 2003. To follow its overall growth strategy and operations, increase the efficiency of working capital, and develop further its core business, ESFHC sold its entire holding in ESSIT to Schroder International Holdings Limited on September 30, 2008. ESFHC invests in and manages financial institutions. E.SUN Bank engages in commercial banking activities permitted by the Banking Law. The operations of E.SUN Bank’s Trust Department consist of planning, managing and operating the trust business. These operations are regulated under the Banking Law and Trust Law of the ROC. As of December 31, 2008, E.SUN Bank had a business department, international banking department, trust department, credit card business division, an offshore banking unit (OBU), 2 overseas branches (Los Angeles and Hong Kong) and 116 domestic branches. To i n t e g r a t e r e s o u r c e s , e n h a n c e o p e r a t i n g effectiveness, strengthen E.SUN Bank’s equity structure, and ensure its long-term development, the stockholders of E.SUN Bank and E.SUN Bills resolved on August 25, 2006 to have a merger with each other, with E.SUN Bank as the survivor equity. The Financial Supervisory Commission approved this merger on November 10, 2006. E.SUN Securities engages in underwriting, dealing and brokerage of securities. ESSIT issues beneficiary certificates to raise securities investment trust funds and uses these funds to invest in securities and related products. E.SUN Venture Capital Corp. (ESVC) engages in venture capital investments. E.SUN Insurance Broker Co., Ltd. (ESIB) is a life and property insurance broker. The above consolidated entities are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Company.” Please see Table 5 (attached) for more information on the consolidated entities. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, ESFHC and its subsidiaries had 4,769 and 4,383 employees, respectively. 2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation 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, Business Accounting Law, Guidelines Governing Business Accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the ROC. In preparing consolidated financial statements, ESFHC and its subsidiaries are required to make certain estimates and assumptions that could affect the valuation of financial instruments, the amounts of allowance for possible losses, reserve for losses on guarantees, property depreciation, amortization on intangible asset, pension, income tax, impairment loss on assets, accrued litigation loss, bonus to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors. Actual results could differ from these estimates. 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: Consolidation ESFHC’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 included the accounts of ESFHC, E.SUN Bank, E.SUN Securities and subsidiary (E.SUN Securities Investment Consulting Corp.), ESSIT, ESVC and ESIB. On August 16, 2007, the board of directors of E.SUN Finance & Leasing Corp. (ESFL) resolved to liquidate ESFL and this liquidation was completed in September 2008. Thus, ESFL’s accounts were excluded from the consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. Because ESFL was a minor subsidiary, the ESFHC’s management believed that this exclusion would not have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007. ESFHC sold its entire holding in ESSIT on September Current and Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities Since the operating cycle in the financial holding and banking industry cannot be reasonably identified, accounts included in the financial statements of ESFHC and E.SUN Bank are not classified as current or noncurrent. Nevertheless, these accounts are properly categorized according to the nature of each account and sequenced by their liquidity. Except for the matter stated in the preceding paragraph, cash and cash equivalents or assets to be converted or consumed within one year are classified as current. Obligations to be liquidated or settled within one 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 financial holding and banking industry accounts for the major parts 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 37 for the maturity analysis of assets and liabilities. Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with maturities of up to three months. Basis of Fair Value Fair value are determined as follows: (a) shortterm bills - reference prices published by Reuters; (b) listed stocks and GreTai Securities Market (the “GTSM”) stocks - closing prices as of the balance sheet date; (c) beneficiary certificates (open-end funds) - net asset values as of the balance sheet date; (d) bonds - period-end reference prices published by the GTSM; (e) securities which is unlisted and not traded in GTSM with quoted market prices or trading records - quoted market prices or trading prices; and (f) for the financial instruments without active markets - fair value estimates based on valuation techniques. Financial Instruments at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets or liabilities that are designated on initial recognition as those to be measured at fair values with fair value changes recognized in profit or loss or financial assets or liabilities classified as held for trading. These instruments are required to be recognized at fair value plus direct acquisition costs and to be measured at fair value through profit or loss on the balance sheet date. The Company uses settlement date accounting when recording related transactions, except for stocks, beneficiary certificates and derivatives, for which trade date accounting is used. Financial instruments used in derivative transactions that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are classified as financial assets or liabilities held for trading. If the fair value of a derivative is a positive number, the derivative is carried as an asset and if the fair value is a negative number, the derivative is carried as a 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 2008 and 2007. If the hedged items are not designated as financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (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 FVTPL. Moreover, the Company designated a hybrid instrument as financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL because embedded derivatives are not separated from the host contract in a hybrid instrument. E.SUN FHC ANNUAL REPORT 2008 30, 2008. Thus, ESFHC’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 included the gains or losses of ESSIT in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The financial statements of E.SUN Bank, E.SUN Securities and subsidiary, ESVC and ESIB as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008, and the financial statements of ESSIT as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as well as the financial statements of all the above subsidiaries of ESFHC as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007 had been audited by independent auditors different from those of ESFHC. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated for consolidation purposes. E.SUN Bank’s financial statements included the accounts of the Head Office, OBU, and all branches. All interoffice transactions and balances have been eliminated. Securities Purchased/Sold Under Resell/ Repurchase Agreements Securities purchased under resell agreements 58 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. Purchase on Margin and Short Sale E.SUN FHC ANNUAL REPORT 2008 E.SUN Securities recognizes margin loans as loans to customers for purchases on margin while providing financing to investors who buy stocks. Margin loans made by E.SUN Securities are generally collateralized by securities in the client’s account. These collateralized securities are not entered in E.SUN Securities’ books, but recorded using memorandum entries. After the security investors settle the margin loan, these pledged securities are returned to investors. E.SUN Securities requires a deposit from security investors for short sale services while providing short sale services to investors. This deposit is recorded as deposit on short-sale transactions. The amount collected from selling of short sale securities (net of securities transaction tax, brokerage fee and handling fee) is kept by E.SUN Securities as collateral and recorded as payable for short-sale transactions. The securities lent to clients as short sale are recorded using memorandum entries. The deposit on short-sale transactions and payable for short sale are returned to security investors after investors settle the short-sale transactions. Overdue Loans Under Ministry of Finance (MOF) guidelines, E.SUN Bank classifies loans and other credits (including accrued interest) overdue for at least six months as overdue loans. Overdue loans (except other credits) resulting from loans are classified as discounts and loans, and the remaining are classified as other financial assets. Allowance for Possible Losses and Reserve for Losses on Guarantees E.SUN Bank makes provisions for bad debts and losses on guarantees based on the evaluation of loans, overdue loans, bills, discounts, receivables, guarantees and acceptances for their specific or general risks. Debts and guarantees with specific risks are evaluated internally for their collaterals, collectibility and customers’ overall credits. Under MOF guidelines, E.SUN Bank makes 100%, 50%, 10% and 2% provisions for credits deemed uncollectible, highly uncollectible, substandard and special mention, respectively, as minimum provisions for possible losses. Under the regulation (88) Tai-Tsai-Tseng (7) No. 91625, E.SUN Securities should provide 3% of annual primary business transactions from July 1, 1999 to write off credits or to use as allowance for bad-debt 59 expenses. However, this allowance requirement was terminated on July 1, 2003. Under MOF guidelines, credits deemed uncollectible may be written off if the write-off is approved by the board of directors. Available-for-sale Financial Assets Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus direct acquisition costs. When 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 in earnings when the financial asset is derecognized from the balance sheet. The Company uses settlement date accounting when recording related transactions, except for stocks and beneficiary certificates, for which trade date accounting is used. Cash dividends received within a year of asset acquisition are recognized as reduction of the original investment cost and are subsequently recognized as investment income on the ex-dividend date. Stock dividends are recorded as an increase in the number of shares held and do not affect investment income. The cost per share is recalculated based on the new number of shares. Any difference between the initial carrying amount of a debt security and its amount on maturity is amortized and then recognized as earnings using the effective interest method. Financial Asset Securitization Under the Financial Asset Securitization Act, E.SUN Bank securitized part of its bonds and entrusted those bonds to a trustee for the issuance of beneficiary securities. Except for beneficiary securities being retained for credit enhancement and reclassified as available-for-sale financial assets, E.SUN Bank de-recognizes the bonds from the balance sheet and recognizes gain or loss because the control of contractual rights on these bonds has been surrendered and transferred to a trustee. The gain or loss on the sale of the bonds is the difference between the proceeds and carrying amount of the bonds, and this carrying amount should be allocated at the ratio of the retained right and the part sold to their fair values on the date of the sale. Since quoted market prices are not available for retained interests, E.SUN Bank estimates fair value using management’s key assumptions on bond credit loss rate and discount rates commensurate to the risks involved. The fair value is the expected future cash flows, and the changes in fair value are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Held-to-maturity Financial Assets Held-to-maturity financial assets are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. These financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus direct acquisition costs. Gains or losses are recognized at the time of de-recognition, impairment or amortization. The Company uses settlement date accounting when recording transactions. Equity Investments under Equity Method Other Financial Assets Investments in equity instruments with no quoted market price in an active market and with fair value that cannot be reliably measured, are measured (including unlisted stocks and emerging stocks) at cost. The accounting treatment for dividends on these instruments is the same as that for dividends on available-for-sale financial assets, except for the recognition of cash dividends upon the declaration by an investees’ stockholders under an approved resolution. Debt instruments with no active market are those with no quoted market prices in an active market and with predetermined amounts. These instruments are carried at amortized cost. The accounting treatment for debt instruments with no active market is similar to that for held-to-maturity financial assets. In addition, in contrast to held-to-maturity financial assets, debt instruments with no active market can be sold anytime. Properties, Rentable Assets and Idle Assets Properties, rentable assets and idle assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. The cost of betterments and major renewals that extend the useful life of an item of property and equipment is capitalized. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is calculated by the straightline method over service lives estimated as follows: buildings, 5 to 50 years; computers, 3 to 8 years; transportation equipment, 5 to 8 years; and Goodwill and Intangible Assets Intangible assets are recorded at acquisition cost. Computer software and operating rights are amortized by the straight-line method over their service lives estimated at three to five years. The carrying value of goodwill is based on the amortized cost, net of accumulated impairment. Operation Deposits Under the Regulations Governing Securities Firms and Regulations Governing Futures Commission Merchants, securities firms should place in governmentdesignated banks guarantee deposits based on their respective type of business operations after registration. E.SUN FHC ANNUAL REPORT 2008 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 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. Capital increase of investees that results in the increase of the Company’s equity in the investees’ net assets is credited to capital surplus, and any decrease is charged to such capital surplus. If capital surplus is not enough for charging purposes, the difference is charged to unappropriated earnings. For equity-method investments, stock dividends received are recognized only as increases in the number of shares held, and not as income. Cost of equity investments under the equity method sold is determined by the weighted-average method. miscellaneous equipment, 5 to 10 years; rentable assets, 50 years, and idle assets, 50 years. If an asset reaches its residual value but is still in use, it is further depreciated over its newly estimated service life. The cost, accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment are removed from the accounts when an item of property is disposed of or retired, and any gain or loss is credited or charged to current income. Settlement Funds Under Article 132 of the Securities Exchange Law, Article 10 of the Regulations Governing Securities Firms and Article 3 of the GreTai Securities Market Regulations Governing Bond Payment Settlement Reserves for the Electronic Bond Trading System, securities firms that broker marketable securities and trade securities for their own purposes should deposit settlement funds to the Taiwan Stock Exchange and the Over-the-Counter exchange before and after the start of business operation. 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 bank deposits - 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. Foreclosed Collaterals Foreclosed collaterals (part of other assets - others) are recorded at the lower of cost or net fair value as of the balance sheet date. Asset Impairment a. Available-for-sale financial assets 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 60 to the extent of the decrease and recorded as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity; for debt securities, this loss is recognized as earnings. b. Held-to-maturity financial assets and debt instruments with no active market If a held-to-maturity financial asset or debt instrument with no active market 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 amortized cost that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized. c. Financial assets carried at cost 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. E.SUN FHC ANNUAL REPORT 2008 d. Equity investments under the equity method, properties, goodwill, intangible assets, and other assets The Company tests assets (mainly properties, idle assets, rentable assets, goodwill, intangible assets and equity investments under the equity method) 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 assets 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. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events indicate goodwill impairment. Impairment loss is recorded if the book value exceeds value in use. No recording of a subsequent recovery in fair value of goodwill is allowed. Corporate Bonds Payable The net carrying amount of overseas convertible bonds at the date of conversion is credited to the appropriate capital accounts (capital stock equal to par value, with the balance credited to capital surplus) upon bond conversion. Reserve for Losses on Breach of Purchase Commitment Securities firms engaging in brokerage trading of marketable securities are required to provide 0.0028% of the monthly transaction volume as the default loss provision (part of other liabilities) until the balance of this provision reaches $200,000 thousand. This 61 provision may only be used to offset default loss or other loss approved by the Securities and Futures Bureau (SFB) of the ROC. Reserve for Losses on the Sale of Bonds Under the regulations of the SFB, reserve for losses on the sale of bonds (part of other liabilities) is computed at 10% of net gain on the sale of bonds until the balance of the reserve reaches the amounts required under relevant regulations. This reserve should only be used to offset actual losses on the sale of bonds. Pension Costs The Company has two types of pension plans: Defined benefit and defined contribution. For the defined benefit plan, the Company recognizes pension costs based on actuarial calculations, and unrecognized net transitional asset or obligation is amortized over 15 to 31 years. For the defined contribution plan, the Company recognizes pension costs based on the Company’s contributions to the employees’ individual pension accounts during the employees’ service periods. When a defined benefit plan is amended, the prior service costs should be amortized on a straight-line basis over the average period from the plan effective or amendment date until the benefits become vested. When the benefits are vested immediately following changes in the defined benefit plan, the Company should recognize the prior service cost as expense immediately. Treasury Stock 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 reissue 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. Recognition of Revenue Interest revenue is recorded on an accrual basis. Under MOF regulations, no interest revenue is recognized on loans and other credits extended by the Company that are classified as overdue loans. The interest revenue on those loans is recognized upon collection of the loans and credits. The unpaid interest on rescheduled loans should be recorded as deferred revenue, and the paid interest is recognized as interest revenue. Service fees are recorded when a major part of the earnings process is completed and revenue is realized. Other operating revenue is recorded on an accrual basis when a major part of the earnings process is completed. Income Tax 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. A footnote disclosure is made for a situation that might result in a loss if loss is possible but the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated. Foreign Currency Transactions Foreign-currency transactions of ESFHC and ESIB are recorded in New Taiwan dollars at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occur. Losses or gains resulting from the application of prevailing exchange rates when foreign-currency assets and liabilities are settled, are credited or charged to income in the period of settlement. The period-end balances of foreign-currency monetary assets and liabilities are restated at the prevailing exchange rates, and the resulting differences are recorded as credits or charges to current income. E.SUN Bank records foreign-currency 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 closing exchange rates announced by the Central Bank of China (CBC). On balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are reported using the CBC closing 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 a 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 availablefor-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 exchange rate on the transaction date. E.SUN Bank translates overseas branches’ financial statements at the following rates: Asset and liabilities the CBC closing exchange rates on balance sheet date; and income and expenses - the average exchange rate in the year. Translation difference net of income tax is recorded as “cumulative translation adjustments” under stockholders’ equity. E.SUN FHC ANNUAL REPORT 2008 Provision for income tax is based on inter-period and intra-period tax allocation. The tax effects of deductible temporary differences, unused tax credits, operating loss carryforwards and debit of stockholders’ equity adjustments are recognized as deferred income tax assets, and those of taxable temporary differences and credit of stockholders’ equity adjustments are recognized as deferred income tax liabilities. Valuation allowance is provided for deferred income tax assets that are not certain to be realized. ESFHC and its subsidiaries elected to file a consolidated tax return from 2003. 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 ESFHC’s income tax expense or benefit. Any distribution of cash payments and receipts among the consolidated group members is recorded as receivable or payable. Income tax on interest in short-term negotiable instruments or special-purpose trust beneficiary securities, which is levied separately, and any adjustment of income taxes of prior years are added to or deducted from the current year’s income tax expense. Tax credits for personnel training and stock investments are recognized in the current period. According to the Income Tax Law, income taxes (10%) on undistributed earnings generated annually since 1998 are recorded as expense in the year when the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings. Reclassifications Certain accounts for the year ended December 31, 2007 had been reclassified to be consistent with the presentation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. 3. ACCOUNTING CHANGES Effective January 1, 2008, under an explanation issued by the Accounting Research and Development Foundation of the ROC, the Company should recognize bonus to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors as compensation expenses. These bonus and remuneration were previously recorded as appropriations from earnings. This accounting change decreased the Company’s consolidated net income in the year ended December 31, 2008 by $32,835 thousand and basic earnings per share after income tax by NT$0.01. Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the newly released ROC Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“Statement”) No. 37 - “Accounting for Intangible Assets” and related revisions of previously released Statements. The Company’s management believes this change had no significant effect on the consolidated financial statements. 62 4.CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS December 31 2007 2008 Cash on hand Checks for clearing Due from banks Cash equivalents - earnings ratio is 1.95%-1.98% $ 5,644,606 4,146,969 1,782,353 - $ 5,295,590 2,382,162 1,097,214 184,185 $ 8,959,151 $ 11,573,928 5.DUE FROM THE CENTRAL BANK AND CALL LOANS TO OTHER BANKS December 31 2007 2008 E.SUN FHC ANNUAL REPORT 2008 Deposit reserves - account A Deposit reserves - account B Reserves for deposits - foreign currency deposits Deposits in the Central Bank Call loans to banks Deposits in the Central Bank - other $ $ 10,164,082 16,609,105 98,322 53,700,000 7,581,740 817,147 8,120,297 15,066,938 812,100 6,841,257 830,519 $ 31,671,111 $ 88,970,396 As required by law, the deposit reserves are calculated by applying the prescribed rates to the average monthly balances of various types of deposit accounts held by E.SUN Bank.

Goodwill was allocated to branches or operating units (CGUs with allocated goodwill) resulting from the acquisition of the Kaohsiung Business Bank Co., Ltd. The recoverable amount of a CGU was determined at its value in use. The Company estimates the next five years’ cash flows of a CGU as a going-concern entity on the basis of each CGU’s operations or business cycle, etc., and this estimate is used to determine the value in use of each CGU. The discount rates for future cash flows of CGUs with allocated goodwill were 9.67% and 11.68% as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. No impairment losses were incurred after the testing assets for impairment. 5,774,566 There were no indications that the value in use of rentable assets, idle assets and foreclosed collaterals significantly exceeded net fair value, the net fair value should be used as the recoverable amount. Thus, the Company designated real estate appraisal firms and the Company’s appraisal center to valuate these assets. As a result, the Company recognized a net reversal of impairment losses of $34,703 thousand and on impairment loss of $12,249 thousand in 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company recognized an impairment loss of $82 thousand and $9,869 thousand on refundable deposits in 2008 and 2007, respectively. 72 18.DUE TO THE CENTRAL BANK AND OTHER BANKS 2008 Deposits from Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd.

Upon retirement, an employee will receive the Company’s contributions before the Labor Standards Act (the “LSA”), which were credited to his/her account, plus earnings thereof and an amount calculated on the basis of length of service after the LSA effective date, and monthly average basic pay of the year before retirement. E.SUN Bank amended the defined benefit plan in 2005. Upon retirement, an employee will receive an amount calculated on the basis of service years. ESFHC makes monthly contributions, equal to 5.54% of salaries, to a pension fund. The fund is deposited in the Central Trust of China (which merged with the Bank of Taiwan in July 2007) in the name of the workers’ fund administration committee, which manages the fund. E.SUN Bank makes monthly contributions, equal to 5.54% of salaries (rate of monthly contributions was changed to 2.42% of salaries in April 2007), to a pension fund. The fund is deposited in the Central Trust of China (which merged with the Bank of Taiwan in July 2007) in the name of the employees’ fund administration committee, which manages the fund. The difference between the foregoing contributions and the pension costs based on actuarial calculations for E.SUN Bank is deposited in a financial institution in the name of the employees’ pension fund administration committee. E.SUN Securities and ESSIT (before September 30, 2008) make monthly contributions, equal to 4% and 6% of salaries (rate of monthly contributions of ESSIT was changed to 2% of salaries in July 2008), to a pension fund, respectively. The fund is managed by the workers’ fund administration committee and deposited in its name in the Central Trust of China 80 (which merged with the Bank of Taiwan in July 2007). The Labor Pension Act (the “Act”) took effect on July 1, 2005. A new defined contribution pension plan is stipulated by this Act. Employees may choose the pension mechanism under the LSA or under this Act. For those employees who were subject to the LSA before the enforcement of this Act, still work for the same business entity after the enforcement of this Act, and choose to be subject to the pension mechanism under this Act, their service year before the enforcement of this Act will be retained.

E.SUN Bank had accrued liabilities and written off assets that were related to the foregoing withholding taxes as part of income tax expense in 2001. In August 2002, the Supreme Administrative Court decided that the Taipei National Tax Administration should review the withholding tax issue again. In 2003, the Taipei National Tax Administration decided to rebate 65% of the foregoing withholding taxes. E.SUN Bank accepted this decision and thus recognized a tax refund receivable in 2003. As of December 31, 2008, ESIB E.SUN Bank had received a tax refund of $87,828 thousand on the 1994, 1995, 1997 and 1998 tax returns. The tax authorities examined E.SUN Bank’s over-distribution of the stockholders’ imputed tax credit amounting to $20,585 thousand in their assessment of the 2001 and 2002 stockholders’ imputed tax credit returns because of foregoing withholding taxes. The Bank filed an application for the refund of overpaid tax and also initiated an administrative litigation. In addition, E.SUN Bank did not accrue the related liabilities because the possibility of a positive result on E.SUN Bank’s application and administrative litigation is high. h.The main effective income tax rates for 2008 and 2007 were about 25%. 31.EARNINGS PER SHARE The numerators and denominators used in calculating earnings per share were summarized as follows: Amounts (Numerator) Before Income Tax 2008 Basic earnings per share Effect of diluted common shares: Overseas convertible bonds Bonus to employees Diluted earnings per share Shares (Denominator in Thousands) After Income Tax $ 1,162, 489 $ 1,025,003 3,465,761 (452,977) - (339,733) - 76,626 3,761 $ 709, 512 $ 685,270 3,546,148 Earnings Per Share (New Taiwan Dollar) Before Income Tax After Income Tax $0.34 $0 . 30 $0.20 $0 . 19 84 Amounts (Numerator) 2007 Before Income Tax Shares (Denominator in Thousands) After Income Tax Basic earnings per share Effect of diluted common shares: Overseas convertible bonds $ 3,155,144 $ 3,293,810 3,443,400 82,127 61,595 378,988 Diluted earnings per share $ 3,237,271 $ 3,355,405 3,822,388 Earnings Per Share (New Taiwan Dollar) Before Income Tax After Income Tax $0.92 $0.96 $0.85 $0.88 E.SUN FHC ANNUAL REPORT 2008 Effective January 1, 2008, under an explanation issued by the Accounting Research and Development Foundation of the ROC, the Company should recognize bonus to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors as compensation expenses. These bonus and remuneration were previously recorded as appropriations from earnings. If the bonus is in the form of cash or shares, the Company should presume that the entire amount of the bonus will be settled in shares and the resulting potential shares should be included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share(EPS), if the shares have a dilutive effect. The number of shares is estimated by dividing the entire amount of the bonus by the closing price of the shares on the balance sheet date. The dilutive effect of the potential shares needs to be included in the calculation of diluted EPS until the stockholders resolve the number of shares to be distributed to employees in the following year. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for EPS calculation has been retroactively adjusted for the distribution of employee stock bonuses from the 2007 earnings and stock dividends. This adjustment caused the basic and diluted after income tax EPS for 2007 to decrease from NT$1.00 to NT$0.96 and from NT$0.92 to NT$0.88, respectively. 32.STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY a.Capital stock On June 13, 2008, stockholders’ meeting of ESFHC resolved to use $1,401,000 thousand from the unappropriated earnings as stock bonus to stockholders amounting to $1,321,320 thousand and stock bonus to employees amounting to $79,680 thousand, or a total of 140,100 thousand shares. These appropriations were approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) and Ministry of Economic Affairs. As of December 31, 2008, the paid-in capital of ESFHC was $35,443,511 thousand. To dispose of ESFHC’s shares held by E.SUN Bank, ESFHC issued 6,800 thousand units of Global Depositary Shares (GDS) (one unit represents 25 common shares), which equaled 170,000 thousand common shares, at US$14.5 dollars per share, on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange on September 27, 2004. The GDS holders are entitled to present their GDSs for cancellation and receive the corresponding number of underlying common shares, and the common shares can be traded in the domestic stock exchange market. As of December 31, 2008, the GDS holders had canceled 9,141 thousand units (equaled 228,539 thousand shares), ESFHC 85 issued 116 thousand units (equaled 2,901 thousand shares) because of stock dividend distribution, and the deposit agents reissued 2,239 thousand units (equaled 55,992 thousand shares). Therefore, the outstanding GDSs were 14 thousand units, which equaled 354 thousand shares, or 0.01% of ESFHC’s total outstanding common shares. b.Capital surplus Under the related regulations, capital surplus may only be used to offset a deficit. However, capital surplus arising from issuance of shares in excess of par value (issuance in excess of common stock par value, capital surplus from issuance of common stock for combination and treasury stock transactions) and donation may be transferred to common stock on the basis of the percentage of shares held by the stockholders. Any capital surplus transferred to common stock should be within a certain percentage prescribed by law. Capital surplus from equity investments under equity method can not 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 unappropriated earnings that are generated by financial institutions (the subsidiaries) before conversion to ESFHC and become part of capital surplus of the financial holding company after conversion, is exempted from the appropriation restriction of the Securities and Exchange Law. The subsidiaries’ unappropriated retained earnings before stock conversion amounted to $2,919,727 thousand, which was already stated as ESFHC’s capital surplus as of its establishment date. In 2002, the stockholders resolved to increase ESFHC’s capital by $1,800,000 thousand through the issuance of stock dividends from capital surplus. The capital surplus as of December 31, 2008 came from treasury stock transactions and the issuance of shares in excess of par value. Capital surplus sources and uses were as follows: Sources From subsidiaries Capital surplus (mainly paid-in capital in excess of par value) Legal reserve Special reserve Unappropriated earnings Corporate bonds converted into capital stock In 2003 In 2004 In 2006 In 2008 Treasury stock transactions recognized from subsidiaries Transferring of shares to employees by subsidiary Cash dividends from ESFHC received by subsidiaries Uses Remuneration to directors and supervisors and bonus to employees by subsidiaries Issuance of ESFHC's stock dividends in 2002 Offset of deficit in 2003 c.Appropriation of earnings and dividend policy When ESFHC appropriates its earnings, legal reserve should be appropriated from the annual net income less any accumulated deficit. A special reserve may then be appropriated. Any remainder should be appropriated as follows: 1) 96% as dividends. 2) 1% as remuneration to directors (knows as remuneration to directors and supervisors before the revision of ESFHC’s Articles of Incorporation on June 13, 2008). E.SUN FHC ANNUAL REPORT 2008 Total capital stock of subsidiaries in excess of ESFHC's issuance Balance on January 28, 2002 From ESSIT which became a 100% subsidiary of ESFHC in 2003 through a share swap Legal reserve Unappropriated earnings $413,733 2,776,834 109,230 2,919,727 6,219,524 600,000 6,819,524 4,350 7,861 6,831,735 9,005 2,613,625 2,252,133 524,401 3,015,943 483 208,161 15,455,486 (156,458) (1,800,000) (3,091,451) $ 10,407,577 3) 3% as bonus to employees. U n d e r E S F H C ’s A r t i c l e s o f I n c o r p o r a t i o n , t h e stockholders may decide not to declare any dividends or declare only a portion of distributable earnings as dividends. Under ESFHC’s dividend policy, the issuance of stock dividends takes precedence over the payment of cash dividends to strengthen ESFHC’s financial structure. This policy is also intended to improve the ESFHC’s capital adequacy ratio and keep it at a level higher than the ratio set under relevant regulations. However, when dividends are declared, cash dividends must be at least 10% of total 86 E.SUN FHC ANNUAL REPORT 2008 dividends declared, unless the resulting cash dividend per share falls below NT$0.10 dollar. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the bonus to employees of $32,835 thousand and remuneration to directors of $10,945 thousand representing 3% and 1%, respectively, of the appropriation of earnings, were accrued on the basis of past experiences. If the bonus and remuneration approved by the ESFHC’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 the stockholders resolve to issue shares for bonus to employees, the number of shares is determined by dividing the amount of the bonus by the closing price (after considering the effect of cash and stock dividends ) of the shares, which is the day before the stockholders’ meeting. Under the Company Law, legal reserve should be appropriated until the reserve equals ESFHC’s paidin capital. This reserve should only be used to offset a deficit. When the reserve exceeds 50% of ESFHC’s paid- in capital, the excess may be distributed as follows: (a) if ESFHC has no earnings, the excess may be declared as dividends or bonus; and (b) if ESFHC has no deficit, only the excess portion that is over 25% of ESFHC’s paid-in capital may be declared as stock 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. Appropriations of earnings should be resolved by the stockholders in the following year and reflected in the financial statements of that year. On June 13, 2008 and June 15, 2007, the stockholders of ESFHC resolved the appropriation of earnings in 2007 and 2006, which were resolved by the ESFHC’s Board of Directors on March 3, 2008 and February 14, 2007, as follows: Appropriation of Earnings 2007 Legal reserve Special reserve Dividend Cash Stock Remuneration to directors and supervisors Bonus to employees Cash Stock $ Dividend Per Share (NT$) 2006 329,381 683,801 $ 42,260 - 1,321,320 1,321,320 27,528 - 2,902 79,680 - 2007 $ 2006 0.4 0.4 $ - Had the remuneration to directors and supervisors and bonus to employees been recognized as expenses, the basic EPS (after income tax) for 2007 would have decreased from NT$0.96 to NT$0.93. As of February 20, 2009, the date of the accompanying auditors’ report, the board of directors had not resolved the appropriation of the 2008 earnings. Information on the appropriation of earnings or deficit offsetting can be accessed through the Web site of the Taiwan Stock Exchange (http://emops.tse.com.tw). Under the integrated income tax system, certain stockholders are allowed tax credits for the income tax paid by the Company. d.Treasury stock Reason for redemption Beginning of the Year Increase End of the Year Year ended December 31, 2008 87 Reissuance to employees (Note) - 42,000 42,00 0 Note: Shares in thousands.

Other short-term financial assets are cash and cash equivalents, receivables (except tax refundable) and refundable deposits. Other short-term financial liabilities are payables (except tax payable). b)For financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss and corporate bonds payable, fair value is best determined on the basis of quoted market prices. If there are trade prices or prices quoted by major market players, the latest trade prices and quoted prices are used as the basis for valuating the fair value; otherwise, ESFHC uses other financial data and appropriate valuation methodologies to determine fair value. c)If equity investments under the equity method and financial assets carried at cost both consist of unlisted stock, 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. 3)Financial risk information a)Risk management ESFHC established the Risk Management Committee, whose convener is the general 125,795 4,967,559 5,500,000 125,795 4,967,559 5,546,437 manger and executive secretary is the chief risk officer, to draw up the principles and policies of risk management followed by each subsidiary, to coordinate and monitor the enforcement of risk management policies of each subsidiary and to deliberate whether proposals brought up by each riskbased unit focusing on a variety of individual issues are suitable for the Company. The committee also supports decision making on several important issues, such as asset allocation, designing and pricing of new products, merging, joint venture and transfer of ownership, from the point of view of risk management to ensure that the Company has adequate capital to achieve profit objectives under reasonable risk. b)Market risk ESFHC set up “The Market Risk Management Policy of E.SUN Financial Holding Company” as the guideline of management of market risk. It monitors and controls the market risk of ESFHC and subsidiaries, and set up risk limit of ESFHC and subsidiaries, including VaRlimit, position-limit and stop Loss limit. ESFHC also makes a risk evaluation report, with covers the taking of risk exposure of each risk-based unit and the adequacy of the current risk management system to the board of directors regularly. c)Credit risk To maintain good asset quality, ESFHC’s subsidiaries have established independent credit review divisions and set up fair credit approval processes. ESFHC and subsidiaries also set up management policy and requirements of counterparties’ credit rating, default risk, settlement risk, and risk concentration in products, industries, and affiliates. d)Liquidity risk ESFHC set up “The Liquidity Risk Management Guideline of E.SUN Financial Holding Company” as the guideline of management of liquidity risk. It monitors and asks ESFHC and subsidiaries to maintain appropriate liquidity, payment ability, financial stability, and to improve urgent situation handling ability. ESFHC and subsidiaries also follow the requirements of authorities, adopt numeral management, and compile cash flow gap analysis report regularly. Additionally, ESFHC and subsidiaries set up liquidity risk management index, and implement and monitor strictly. b.E.SUN Bank 1) Fair value of financial instruments December 31 2008 Carrying Amount Estimated Fair Value Carrying Amount Estimated Fair Value $ 132,413,462 72,690,441 42,606,239 532,944,978 14,241,499 7,495,793 $ 132,413,462 72,690,441 42,606,239 532,944,978 14,460,273 7,460,285 $ 70,417,631 97,181,827 37,638,457 514,648,763 14,389,915 7,551,602 $ 70,417,631 97,181,827 37,638,457 514,648,763 14,096,317 7,422,608 53,183,460 26,488,285 666,460,275 27,300,000 2,372,937 53,183,460 26,488,285 666,460,275 27,162,767 2,372,937 56,687,975 30,507,142 598,773,839 25,600,000 2,971,900 56,687,975 30,507,142 598,773,839 25,729,664 2,971,900 E.SUN FHC ANNUAL REPORT 2008 Financial assets Financial assets - with fair value approximating carrying amounts Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Available-for-sale financial assets Discounts and loans Held-to-maturity financial assets Other financial assets (exclusive of financial assets carried at cost) 2007 Financial liabilities Financial liabilities - with fair value approximating carrying amounts Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Deposits and remittances Bank debentures Other financial liabilities 2)Methods and assumptions applied to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are summarized as follows: a)T he carrying amounts of short-term financial instruments approximate their fair values because of the short maturities of these instruments. Other shortterm financial assets are cash and cash equivalents, due from the Central Bank and call loans to other banks, securities purchased under resell agreements, receivables (except tax refundable) and refundable deposits. Other short-term financial liabilities are due to the Central Bank and other banks, securities sold under repurchase agreements, payables (except tax payable) and remittances. b)For financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial assets, held-tomaturity financial assets and bank debentures, fair value is best determined on the basis of quoted market prices. However, in many instances where there are no quoted market prices for E.SUN Bank’s various financial instruments, fair values are based on estimates using other financial data and appropriate valuation methodologies. E.SUN Bank estimated the fair value of each forward contract on the basis of the exchange rates quoted by Reuters on each settlement date. Fair values of interest rate swap contracts and cross-currency swap contracts are calculated using the discounted cash flow method, unless the fair values on these two types of contracts are 96 E.SUN FHC ANNUAL REPORT 2008 provided by counter-parties. Fair values of currency option contracts are based on estimates using the Black Scholes model, binomial method or Monte Carlo simulation. Fair values of credit default swap contracts are valuated using the discount spreads method or modified Hull-White model. The fair value of each futures contract is calculated using the prices quoted by the futures exchange. For valuation of debt instruments with no active market, the fair value is determined on the basis of the discounted cash flow method. E.SUN Bank uses a discount rate approximating the rate of return of financial instruments with similar terms and characteristics, including the credit risk of the debtors, the residual period during which the fixed interest rate prescribed by contracts is accrued, the residual period for principal repayments, and the type of currency (New Taiwan dollar, U.S. dollar, etc.) to be used for payments. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the discount rate used was between 0.471% and 1.842% and between 2.080% and 3.518%, respectively, for the New Taiwan dollar and between 0.150% and 2.695% and between 3.828% and 5.049% , respectively, for the U.S. dollar. If there are trade prices or prices quoted by major market players, the latest trade prices and quoted prices are used as the basis for valuating the fair value Quoted Market Prices Financial assets Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Available-for-sale financial assets Held-to-maturity financial assets Other financial assets (exclusive of financial assets carried at cost) of debt instruments with no active market and classified as other financial assets; otherwise, E.SUN Bank uses the foregoing discounted cash flow method to determine fair value. c)D iscounts and loans, and deposits are interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Thus, their carrying amounts represent fair value. The fair value of overdue loans is based on their carrying amount, net of allowance for credit losses. d)If equity investments under the equity method and financial assets carried at cost both consist of unlisted stock, these investments have no quoted market prices in an active market and their fair value cannot be reliably measured. Thus, E.SUN Bank does not disclose their fair value. e)O ther financial liabilities include guarantee deposits received, appropriations for loans and credit-linked structured products. They are interest-bearing liabilities or items that can be transferred to other banks at any time depending on the business situation or withdrawn by providers. The carrying amounts of these liabilities represent their fair values. 3)As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, fair values of financial assets and liabilities determined using quoted market prices or market prices estimated on the basis of valuation method were as follows: 2008 $ 32,538,940 27,304,930 7,030,651 720,433 Financial liabilities Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Bank debentures 97 December 31 2007 Estimated Market Prices Quoted Market Prices $ 40,151,501 15,301,309 7,429,622 6,739,852 $ 51,666,739 23,452,314 6,773,692 629,473 $ 45,515,088 14,186,143 7,322,625 6,793,135 - 30,507,142 25,729,664 Estimated Market Prices 4)A valuation of financial instruments at estimated market prices showed a loss of $162,594 thousand in 2008 and a gain of $345,039 thousand in 2007. 5)For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the adjustments of stockholders’ equity debited directly - 26,488,285 27,162,767 from the available-for-sale financial assets amounted to $675,538 thousand and $970,935 thousand, respectively, and the losses recognized and deducted from these adjustments of stockholders’ equity were to $780,553 thousand and $71,579 thousand, respectively. 6)Financial risk information a) Risk management E.SUN Bank established the Risk Management Division to draw up the principles and policies of risk management followed by each department, to coordinate and monitor the enforcement of risk management policies of each department and to deliberate whether proposals brought up by each risk-based unit focusing on a variety of individual issues are suitable for E.SUN Bank. The division also supports decision making on several important issues, such as asset allocation, designing and pricing of new products and transfer of ownership, from the point of view of risk management to ensure that E.SUN Bank has adequate capital to achieve profit objectives under reasonable risk. b) Market risk E.SUN Bank evaluated the market risk of financial instruments on the basis of value at risk (VaR). VaR is the potential loss in market value of financial instruments held by E.SUN Bank, which is measured within a set confidence interval for a specified period. E.SUN Bank estimated VaR on the basis of the changes in prices of financial instruments in the past two years. Net positions on foreign-currency transactions were as follows: Net position on foreign-currency transactions (market risk) December 31, 2008 Currency (76,308) HKD 9,800 USD (680,531) JPY 3,069 EUR 14,043 CNY $ NT$ (322,693) 321,185 (246,723) 141,911 67,351 E.SUN FHC ANNUAL REPORT 2008 Items Unit: In Thousands of Dollars December 31, 2007 HKD NZD JPY USD EUR Currency (309,547) 21,333 (1,807,703) 5,532 3,676 NT$ $ (1,289,063) 537,415 (524,064) 179,701 175,933 Note:The foreign currencies represent the top five currencies in E.SUN Bank's basket of international currencies. c) Credit risk E.SUN Bank is exposed to potential loss due to defaults by counter-parties or issuers. Under normal business operations, E.SUN Bank is a party to transactions involving financial services with offbalance-sheet risks, such as issuing credit cards, extending credit facilities and providing financial guarantee and obligations under letters of credit issued. Generally, these transactions are for one year. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the interest rates for loans were between 0.59% and 18.25% and between 0.93% and 18.25%, respectively. The highest interest rate for credit cards was 19.71% in both years. There was no concentration of maturity dates in one particular period that would potentially result in liquidity problems to E.SUN Bank. E.SUN Bank evaluates the creditworthiness of credit applications case by case, taking into account the applicant’s credit history, credit rating and financial condition. Collateral, mostly in the form of real estate, cash, inventories, marketable securities and other assets, may be required depending on the evaluation result. About 65% of total loans granted were secured in both years. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, about 18% and 11%, respectively, for both the aggregate guarantees and letters of credit issued, were secured. If the customers break a contract, E.SUN Bank will execute its right on the collaterals and decrease its credit risk. However, E.SUN Bank discloses the maximum credit exposure without consideration of collateral fair value. The maximum credit exposure of financial assets is the carrying amounts of financial assets on the balance sheet date. The amounts of financial contracts with off-balance-sheet credit risks as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 were as follows: December 31 Credit card commitments Guarantees and letters of credit issued 2008 2007 $ 244,073,452 14,793,569 $ 217,111,564 17,785,048 98 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. Groups or industries and regions with outstanding loans that were 10% or more of total outstanding loans were as follows: December 31 2008 Credit Risk Profile by Group or Industry Natural person Manufacturing Amount $ 286,616,096 133,970,694 2007 % Amount 53 25 $ 292,954,883 100,879,082 % 56 19 E.SUN FHC ANNUAL REPORT 2008 December 31 2008 Credit Risk Profile by Region Domestic North America Asia d)Liquidity risk In December 2008 and 2007, the liquidity reserve ratio was 16.95% and 13.78%, respectively. E.SUN Bank has sufficient equity capital and working capital to execute all contract obligations and had no liquidity risk. The contract or notional amount is used to calculate the amounts to settle with the counter-parties, so it is neither the actual amount delivered nor the cash requirement for E.SUN Bank. Also, E.SUN Bank can enter into derivative financial contracts at reasonable 99 Amount $ 503,274,180 14,141,824 12,936,053 2007 % Amount 93 3 2 $ 489,381,840 13,519,433 10,003,600 % 93 3 2 market terms. Thus, E.SUN Bank did not expect significant cash flow demands to settle these contracts. The management policy of E.SUN Bank is to match the contractual maturity profile to the interest rates for its assets and liabilities. Because of uncertainties, however, the maturities did not fully match the interest rates, resulting in gaps that may potentially give rise to gain or loss. E.SUN Bank applied appropriate ways to group assets and liabilities. The maturity analysis of assets and liabilities was as follows: E.SUN Bank applied appropriate ways to group assets and liabilities. The maturity analysis of assets and liabilities was as follows: December 31, 2008 Assets Liabilities Due to the Central Bank and other banks Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Securities sold under repurchase agreements Payables Deposits and remittances Bank debentures Other financial liabilities Due after Three Months Up to One Year Due after One Year Up to Seven Years $ 11,572,247 60,321,437 13,622,141 353,252 323,822 61,107,424 4,631,754 492,070 $ 19,148,959 11,116,416 27,738,510 38,555,538 163,610 -

The method applies to cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, restricted assets - current, short-term debts, commercial paper issued and securities sold under repurchase agreements. - - b)For beneficiary certificates, fair value is determined on the basis of quoted market prices. c)For operating securities, fair value is determined on the listed securities’ closing prices or period-end reference prices published by GTSM on the balance sheet date. d)For operation deposits, settlement funds, and refundable deposits, fair value is their carrying amount because they have no specific maturity dates. e)E merging stocks held by the dealing department, nonncurrent available-for-sale assets and equity investments under the equity method consist of unlisted 102 stocks. Since these investments have no quoted market prices in an active market and their fair value cannot be reliably measured, E.SUN Securities does not disclose their fair value.

These financial instruments are held to meet demands for funds. E.SUN Securities also holds receivables and payables arising from operating activities. E.SUN Securities issues derivative financial instruments, including futures contracts and options, to generate reasonable profit. E.SUN Securities’ major risks are cash flow risk arising from interest rate fluctuation, credit risk and liquidity risk. a) Cash flow risk arising from interest rate fluctuation E.SUN Securities’ main cash flow risk arises from interest rate fluctuation on time deposits, borrowings and commercial paper issued with floating rate. E.SUN Securities manages its interest rate risk by integrating fix and floating interest rate. b) Credit risk - - 11,142 - 20,000 (17,526) - - E.SUN Securities only conducts business with recognized and creditworthy third parties. Customers are subject to credit verification procedures, and the collection of accounts receivable are subsequently assessed. The futures and TAIEX options contracts entered into by E.SUN Securities are all exchange traded and can be settled before expiration without default. Therefore, no significant credit risk is expected to arise. Other financial assets (including cash and cash equivalents) held by E.SUN Securities is exposed to credit risk on counter-party defaults. The maximum exposure to loss equals the carrying amount of financial instruments. Collateral would not be required because E.SUN Securities only conducts business with recognized third parties. c)Liquidity risk E.SUN Securities adjusts its liquidity position by using tools such as borrowings, commercial paper issued, and cash and cash equivalents to reach its objectives 2007 2008 Gains on futures contracts Realized Unrealized $ Losses on futures contracts Realized Unrealized $ $ $ Gains on option contracts Realized Unrealized $ Losses on option contracts Realized Unrealized $ $ $ E.SUN FHC ANNUAL REPORT 2008 cash flows depend on the amount and timing of the stock warrants exercised. Please refer to the related information in Note 6. 2) Futures and TAIEX options The contracts entered into by E.SUN Securities are all exchange traded and can be settled before expiration without default. Therefore, no significant credit risk is expected to arise. The major risk associated with the futures and options undertaken by E.SUN Securities is the market risk arising from the fluctuations in the market prices of the underlying assets. Losses will be incurred if market index prices and the prices of the investment index move in opposite directions. To control the risk within a tolerable limit, a stop-loss mechanism has been established. Hence, market risk is assessed to be remote. As premiums are paid before futures and option contracts are bought, no funding requirement is expected. In addition, the options written and the outstanding futures contracts can be settled at reasonable prices. Therefore, liquidity risk is assessed to be remote. To hedge the risk arising from proprietary trading of stocks, E.SUN Securities has entered into stock index futures and options. Margin deposits are paid before the transactions take effect. E.SUN Securities in the outstanding futures contracts is marked to market daily, and its working capital is assessed to be adequate to support the margin calls. Hence, no cash flow risk or significant cash requirements are expected. The gains (losses) from the derivative transactions in 2008 and 2007 were summarized as follows: such as financial stabilization and financial flexibility. The information of derivative financial instruments is summarized as follows: 1) Stock warrants issued As premiums from the stock warrants issued by E.SUN Securities were all received, there is no credit risk. E.SUN Securities is in a short position for the stock warrants issued, which is in reverse to the investors’ position. As the investors may exercise their option rights before expiration of the contracts because of the fluctuations in the underlying securities’ fair values, E.SUN Securities’ position is expected to be exposed to market risk. To reduce the uncertainty, E.SUN Securities mainly adopts delta and vega risk hedging strategies which are summarized below. a) Delta risk hedging strategy The hedge instruments are mainly the underlying securities. The dynamic hedging method is adopted by referring to the delta risk value calculated using E.SUN Securities’ risk model. b) Vega risk hedging strategy The hedge instruments are mainly the warrants listed in the domestic market with the same underlying securities. The strategy adopted in vega hedge is primarily through buying the significantly underpriced stock warrants with the same underlying securities, of which the price volatility will partly offset the price volatility of the stock warrants issued by E.SUN Securities. Future cash flows refer to the cash inflows or outflows resulting from the settlements of stock warrants by cash or securities when the warrants are exercised.
