2. the outside evaluation on the performance of the board of directors and the responses of chailease holding (“the company”):
during february and march of 2018, the company retained the taiwan corporate governance association ("tgca") for carrying out the 2018 outside evaluation on the performance of the board of directors. the evaluation is conducted through questionnaires and onsite interview with high ranking company officials, covering 38 indexes comprising the 8 dimensions including the board's: (i) composition, (ii) instructions, (iii) delegation of authorities, (iv) oversight, (v) communication, (vi) discipline, (vii) internal control, and (viii) risk management. out of the 38 indexes, the tgca determined the company satisfied the requirements of 33 indexes, leaving 5 indexes for the high-ranking officials to clarify with respect to the questions raised by the evaluators.

below are the conclusions and recommendations of a report provided by the tcga, and the responses of the company to the recommendations:
conclusions
1. chailease holding company limited has been in asset leasing and financing services businesses for 40 plus years and the board strives hard to uphold "value, growth, ethics and discipline" business philosophy in doing business internationally since the inception of the company.
2. the chairperson, directors and executives all emphasize the importance of organizational culture, which is a manifestation that the board and the company as a whole have a high regard for creating such a culture for the benefit of the company.
3. with a clear understanding of the pros and cons of representatives of corporation directors as nature person directors, your company has in-depth considerations for how the composition of the board, including the number of directors, gender combination and specialty, can work best to suit the long-term development of the company.
4. your company has a clear set of criteria for distinguishing main stakeholders and sets up specific communication mechanisms for each group of stakeholders. as a result, the board keeps in hand quality information of both the internal and external environment to facilitate its decision-making process.
5. the board members of your company take active part in the implementation of corporate operation decisions. despite the fact that they are based in different countries or territories and have to attend meetings via video conferences, most board members' attendance rate is as high as 100%.
recommendations responses
1. your company may explain in the annual report or on corporate website why it is necessary and reasonable for the chairperson to double as president and for the board to have more representatives of corporation directors. this can build better communication between the company and the stakeholders. the existing conditions are conforming to the objectives of chailease as manifesting in its operations and performances.
2. your company has been growing the business with steady pace by developing new opportunities in solar power. inviting external directors to join the strategy formulation stage early on will help the company devise even more comprehensive strategic planning for the new business. if there is a need to involve outside directors in the discussion of major diversifying strategies, in order to reducing costs, it may take place before or after the date set for a meeting of the board of directors.
3. currently the ethical management committee, composed of manager level officers, is in the position to assist in evaluating board performance using more or less simplified indicators. the board may consider requesting the compensation committee to help with the monitoring of the evaluation process and adding indicators that can measure the performance more effectively. chailease will implement measures relating to corporate governance one step at a time, and will take serious consideration of the suggestion, provided there are changes of the trend or more stringent and explicit requirements of related regulations in the future.
4. the audit committee members at your company have specialized and international experiences. as the company keeps growing and expanding to diverse business interests, the audit committee may take a more proactive role in addressing matters like major risk management, internal control system improvement and the evaluation of external accountant competence, to foster stable development of the company. 1. chailease held the meeting of the risk management committee on a quarterly basis and credit examination committee on a weekly basis, during which major corporate risk matters and those domestic or foreign events capable of affecting credit risk were discussed and related monitoring measures are formulated.
2. the audit committee is aware that the auditing department examined the internal control system to determine whether it requires revision; if there is any such requirement, the proposal of revision would be submitted to the audit committee for resolution. however, the internal control system of chailease holding has not been revised regularly because it has not engaged in active operations except investing in its subsidiaries.
3. a newly retained accountant is required to provide the biographies for the board’s examination. in addition, a retained accountant is required to participate in the meeting of the board of directors for reporting the audit plan, key audit items, and audit results. the board of directors determines the suitability of an accountant.
5. your company implements a regular job rotation program for high-ranking officers and has created a human resource database. you may include the training and succession plan in the report to the board as a special topic to ensure a strong link between the incumbent executive officers and the talent required for the mid-and-long term development of the company. chailease will take serious consideration of reporting to the board of directors the suggestion at a suitable time.
3. 2019 communications between independent directors, internal audit officer and cpas
1. the internal audit officer and cpas can directly contact with independent directors if needed and maintain good communication with independent directors.
2. 9 audit committee meetings were held in this year. the internal audit officer attended all the audit committee meetings, and presented the findings and follow-ups of all audit reports to independent directors in the quarterly meetings with thorough communication. the company also provides audit reports to independent directors every month.
