an

Forsecuritiesfirms, lastyear (2011)wasadifficultyear. In thefirsthalfof2011,

the Fed continued theQuantitative EastingMonetary Policy again and thereby

enrichedthecapital in theworld.Meanwhile, thecapitalwasgreatly investedin the

emergingmarketsinAsia.TheTSECweightedindexstayedat8,000pointsaboveand

theentiresecurities firms’EPSwas$0.60,whichwasconsidered fairperformance.

Notwithstanding,afterthePolicywasliftedinthesecondhalfof2011,the

economyrecoveredsluggishlyintheU.S.A.Meanwhile,uponoutbreak

oftheEuropeanDebtCrisis,theconsumermarketsinEuropeandthe

U.S.A.weredepressedandconsequentlytheeconomyinChinawas

affectedandcouldstayfairandstableonly.TheeconomyinTaiwan

wasdeclininggiventheglobaleconomy,andtherefore, thestock

marketwasdepressedandtheentiresecuritiesfirms’EPSsuffered

lossinTaiwan.

TheyearlyTSECmarketindexdroppedfrom8,972pointsto

7,072points,adecreaseof21.2%.TheGTSMmarket index

droppedfrom143pointsto93points,adecreaseof35.0%.

Thetotalsecuritiesmarket (includingGTSMmarket)value

alsodeclined fromNT$25,790billion toNT$20,640

billion,adecreasebyNT$5,150billion,namely19.97%.

Theyearlyearningsof the total84dedicatedsecurities

firmswereNT$17.153billion,with theaveragedEPS

declining fromNT$1.020 in2010 toNT$0.505. If the

gainsfromsaleofKimEngSecuritiesSingaporebyYuanta

earningswouldhavebeenNT$9.593billionwithEPS

NT$0.283.

Compared to local banks,which received the

unprecedentedearnings for thepastdecade,namely

NT$200billionwithROE9.33%, in last year, itwas
