income showed an increasing trend.

accordance with IFRS in the second of 2014, the losses of NTD 0.24 billion

was reported in the second quarter of 2014. As a result, a net income before

tax of  NTD 0.87 billion was recognized for the second quarter of 2014.

second quarter of 2014 would be NTD 1.11 billion.
