Article 3 Financial institutions that apply to participate in deposit insurance (hereinafter referred to as applying institutions) shall submit the following listed documents to the CDIC for review: 1. The application to be insured. 2. A copy of the competent authority's or the central competent authority's of the agricultural finance certificate of approval of establishment. 3. A business plan. 4. Minutes of board of directors' meetings from the commencement of operations to the time of the application to be insured. 5. The balance sheet and income statement for the end of the month prior to the date of application (the credit departments of farmers' and fishermen's associations shall also attach information for the whole of the association).

The corporate (institutional) governance system. 8. Background information on the directors, supervisors, chief executive officers (chief operating officers), and heads of credit departments. 9.

Other documents or information that the CDIC requests should be provided. If the records in relation to the written documentation referred to in the previous Paragraph are incomplete or inadequate, the CDIC shall inform the applicant of the time period within which the insufficient information needs to be submitted. Article 4 In the case where applying institutions encounter one of the following situations as a result of the CDIC's review, i.e., in the case where they do not conform to the insured qualifications, the CDIC shall report this to the competent authority or the central competent authority of agricultural finance to urge them to make improvements: 1. The ratio of the equity capital to risk-weighted assets for banks and credit cooperative associations, and the ratio of the net worth to risk-weighted assets for the credit departments of farmers' and fishermen's associations do not conform to the minimum requirements stipulated by the competent authority or the central competent authority of agricultural finance. 2. Total past due loans as a ratio of total loans exceed 1 percent or adversely classified assets exceed 1 percent of total assets. 3.

Net worth is less than two-thirds of paid-in capital (operating capital for foreign banks; shares for credit cooperative associations; the sum of enterprise funds and reserves for the credit departments of farmers' and fishermen's associations). 5.

If there is a concrete evidence that incumbent directors, supervisors, chief executive officers (chief operating officers) and the heads of credit departments are incompetent and may harm the sound operations of financial business. The applying institution, in the event that none of the above items apply and it receives approval from the CDIC to become an insured institution, shall sign a deposit insurance agreement with the CDIC.
