The goal of the second financial reform is to cut the size of the financial holding company by half by the end of 2006. In this study, the Mega Holding(MH)is used as a case study. Seven important performance indexes are used to compare the operating performance of the MH to the other 13 financial holding companies. These performance indexes are: 1. asset market share(AMS)exceeds 10%; 2. return on equity(ROE)is between 15% and 20%; 3. return on asset(ROA)exceeds 1%; 4. CAR exceeds 10%; 5. NPL ratio is less than 2.5%; 6.NPL coverage ratio exceeds 60%; and 7. cost ratio is less than 40%. The result of this study shows that only the Development Financial Holding(DFH)among the 14 financial holding companies which reaches four indexes at most; reach 3 indexes which include MH, Cathay Financial Holding(Cat.FH), Chinatrust Financial Holding(Chi.FH)and First Financial Holding(FFH).
