The Board ofDirectors and Shareholders Far Eastern International Bank Ltd.
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets ofFar Eastern International Bank Ltd. and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30. 2025 and 2024 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the nine months then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Banks, and International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.
Scope of Review
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the Standards on Review Engagements of the Republic of China 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that caused us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Far Eastern International Bank Ltd. and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, its consolidated financial performance for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Banks, and International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

APPLICATION OF NEW, AMENDED AND REVISED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS
Initial application of the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Public Banks and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC) and SIC Interpretations (SIC) (collectively, the "IFRS Accounting Standards") endorsed and issued into effect in 2025 by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) did not have a material impact on the Bank and its subsidiaries' accounting policies.

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 "Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial
Instruments"
The amendments to the application guidance of classification of financial assets
The amendments mainly amend the requirements for the classification of financial assets. If a financial asset contains a contingent feature that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows and the contingent event itself does not relate directly to changes in basic lending risks and costs (e.g., whether the debtor achieves a contractually specified reduction in carbon emissions), the financial asset has contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding if, and only if,
In all possible scenarios (before and after the occurrence of a contingent event), the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding; and
In all possible scenarios, the contractual cash flows would not be significantly different from the contractual cash flows on a financial instrument with identical contractual terms, but without such a contingent feature.
The amendments to the application guidance of derecognition of financial liabilities
The amendments mainly stipulate that a financial liability is derecognized on the settlement date. However, when settling a financial liability in cash using an electronic payment system, the Group can choose to derecognize the financial liability before the settlement date if, and only if, the Group has initiated a payment instruction that resulted in:
The Group having no practical ability to withdraw, stop or cancel the payment instruction;
The Group having no practical ability to access the cash to be used for settlement as a result of the payment instruction; and
The settlement risk associated with the electronic payment system being insignificant.
An entity shall apply the amendments retrospectively but is not required to restate prior periods. The effect of initially applying the amendments shall be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance at the date of initial application. An entity may restate prior periods if, and only if, it is possible to do so without the use of hindsight.
As of the date the financial statements were authorized for issue, the Bank and its subsidiaries are continuously assessing the impact of the application of the amendments on the Bank and its subsidiaries' financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.

IFRS 19 "Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures" (including the 2025 amendments to IFRS 19)

Note 1: Unless stated otherwise, the above IFRS Accounting Standards are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after their respective effective dates.
Note 2: On September 25, 2025, the FSC announced that IFRS 18 will take effect starting from January 1, 2028. Domestic entities could elect to apply IFRS 18 for an earlier period after the endorsement of IFRS 18 by the FSC.
The impact of the application of IFRS 18 "Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements" on the Bank and its subsidiaries is described as follows:
IFRS 18 will supersede IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements". The main changes comprise:
Items of income and expenses included in the statement of profit or loss shall be classified into the operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations categories.
The statement of profit or loss shall present totals and subtotals for operating profit or loss, profit or loss before financing and income taxes and profit or loss.
Provides guidance to enhance the requirements of aggregation and disaggregation: An entity shall identify the assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows that arise from individual transactions or other events and shall classify and aggregate them into groups based on shared characteristics, so as to result in the presentation in the primary financial statements of line items that have at least one similar characteristic. An entity shall disaggregate items with dissimilar characteristics in the primary financial statements and in the notes. An entity labels items as "other" only if it cannot find a more informative label.
Disclosures on Management-defined Performance Measures (MPMs): When in public communications outside financial statements and communicating to users of financial statements management's view of an aspect of the financial performance of an entity as a whole, an entity shall disclose related information about its MPMs in a single note to the financial statements, including the description of such measures, calculations, reconciliations to the subtotal or total specified by IFRS Accounting Standards and the income tax and non-controlling interests effects of related reconciliation items.
Except for the above impact, as of the date the financial statements were authorized for issue, the Bank and its subsidiaries are continuously assessing the other impacts of the above amended standards and interpretations on the Bank and its subsidiaries' financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.

SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
Statement of Compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Banks and IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC. Disclosure information included in the interim financial statements is less than the disclosure information required in a complete set of annual financial statements.
Basis of PreparationThe financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value and net benefit liabilities which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
Current and Noncurrent Assets and LiabilitiesAccounts included in the balance sheets are not classified as current or noncurrent since the major components of the financial statements are from the banking sector, whose operating cycle cannot be reasonably identified. Nevertheless, accounts are properly categorized in accordance with their nature and sequenced by their liquidity. Refer to Note 44 for the maturity analysis of liabilities.
Basis of ConsolidationPrinciples of preparing consolidated financial statements
The financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Bank and its subsidiaries.
Account balances, income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions between the Bank and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Entities included in consolidated financial statements

Pension cost of interim period is calculated on a year-to-date basis by using the actuarially determined pension cost rate at the end of the prior financial year, adjusted for market fluctuations since that time and for plan amendments, settlements, or other significant one-off events.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Interim period income taxes are assessed on an annual basis and calculated by applying to an interim period's pre-tax income the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.

CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT OF INVESTMENTS IN DEBT INSTRUMENTS
The policy which the Bank implements is to invest mainly in debt instruments with credit ratings above (and including) investment grade.
The Bank continued to track external rating information to monitor changes in credit risk of the investments in debt instruments and to review other information such as the bond yield curve and the debtor's material information to assess whether the credit risk of the debt instrument investments has increased significantly since the original recognition. The Bank considers the historical default loss rate announced by the independent rating agencies, the debtor's current financial status and the industry's forward-looking forecasts when measuring the expected credit loss of the debt instrument investments on an annual basis.
The investments in debt instruments are classified at FVTOCI and at amortized cost. The information of changes in total carrying amount was as follows:
