    Prior to January 1, 2005, the ROC Securities and Futures Bureau allowed us to delay our
recognition of investment income or loss in certain investee companies accounted for under the
equity method until the following accounting year. As a result, in 2002, we delayed the
recognition of investment loss of NT$366 million in relation to the financial results of
ChipMOS Technology Inc., or ChipMOS, until 2003. In addition, in 2003 and 2004, we delayed the
recognition of investment income of NT$247 million and NT$668 million, respectively, in
relation to the financial results of ChipMOS, until 2004 and 2005, respectively, and recorded
the above-mentioned amount of NT$668 million as cumulative effects of changes in accounting
principles in 2005. From January 1, 2005, we adopted ROC Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 5, Accounting for Long-term Equity Investment, pursuant to which we ceased to
defer the recognition of investment income or loss of investees accounted for under the equity
method until the subsequent year, and recognized investment income or loss from all investees
accounted for under the equity method based on investees audited financial statements for the
same periods. We recognized investment income of NT$433 million and NT$1,125 million for the
years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively, and NT$246 million (US$7.6 million) for
the period between January 1, 2007 and March 27, 2007 from ChipMOSs financial results. In
2005, 2006 and 2007, our investment income under US GAAP from ChipMOS were NT$469 million,
NT$1,045 million and NT$253 million (US$7.8 million), respectively. 3

 Our operating results fluctuate significantly, which may affect the value of your investments
  
    
    our ability to develop and implement new technologies. If we are unable to
successfully implement new technologies in a timely manner, our operating results could
suffer because we would allow our competitors to seize the opportunities in developing
new markets.
    
    changes in our mix of manufacturing services or our customers preferences. When we
discontinue or add manufacturing service or when our customers demand change, our
operating results usually fluctuate.
    
    changes in capacity utilization. When capacity utilization is low, such as in times
of market downturns, we may need to adjust our mix of manufacturing services to respond
to changes in demand and to adjust our prices sufficiently enough to maintain the level
of our capacity utilization.
  The cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry makes us particularly vulnerable to economic
downturns and changes in the semiconductor industry

We depend on a small number of customers for a substantial portion of our revenues and a loss of
any one of these customers would result in the loss of a significant portion of our revenues
  If capital resources required for our future expansion plans are not available, we may be unable to
successfully implement our services strategy
  If we cannot compete successfully in our industry, our current and potential customers would likely
decide not to use our manufacturing services, which would seriously harm our business
  If the outsourcing trend for packaging and testing services does not continue, we could lose a
significant number of our current customers and we may be unable to implement our manufacturing
services strategy plan in the future

    Our stock dividend is declared in NT dollar amount per Share. The number of Shares received
by a shareholder equals to the NT dollar amount per share of dividend declared multiplied by
the number of Shares owned by the shareholder and divided by the par value of NT$10 per Share.(2)
    
    Total number of Shares issued as stock dividends include Shares issued from retained earnings
and from capital reserve.(3)
    
    We did not declare a dividend in 2002 because we incurred a net loss in 2001.(4)
    
    We did not declare a dividend in 2003 because our shareholders did not elect to declare such
dividend, even though we generated net income in 2002. B.     Significant Changes

 Available-for-sale securities
  Financial assets carried at cost
  Long-term Investments Accounted for under Equity Method
 A.
    
    Long-term equity investments in which the Company owns at least 20% of the voting
rights of the investee companies are accounted for under the equity method, unless the
Company cannot exercise significant influence over the investee company. The excess of the
acquisition cost over the investees fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is
capitalized as goodwill and tested for impairment annually. No prior period adjustment is
required for the amortization in previous years. Long-term equity investments in which the
Company holds more than 50% of the voting stocks or has controlling interests over the
investee companies are included in the annual and semi-annual consolidated financial
statements.B.
    
    Unrealized gains and losses from transactions between the Company and investee
companies accounted for under the equity method are deferred. Profit (loss) from sales of
depreciable assets between the investee and the Company is amortized to income over the
assets economic service lives. Unrealized gain from other types of intercompany
transactions is reported as deferred credits classified as current or non-current
liabilities.C.
    
    When the Companys proportional interest in an equity investee changes after the equity
investee issues new shares, the effect of change in the Companys holding ratio on
long-term investment is adjusted to capital reserve. If capital reserve account is
insufficient, the effect is then charged to retained earnings.D.
    
    The Companys proportionate share of the foreign investees cumulative translation
adjustments related to the translation of the foreign investees financial statements into
New Taiwan dollars is recognized as Cumulative Translation Adjustments in the
stockholders equity.
 Property, Plant and Equipment
 A.
    
    Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost. Interest incurred
relating to the construction of property, plant and equipment is capitalized and
depreciated accordingly.B.
    
    Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the assets estimated
economic service lives, plus an additional year as the salvage value. Salvage values of
fixed assets which are still in use after reaching their estimated economic service lives
are depreciated over their new estimated remaining service lives. The service

  C.
    
    Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Significant renewals and
improvements are capitalized and depreciated accordingly. When fixed assets are disposed,
their original cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the corresponding
accounts, with gain or loss recorded as non-operating income or loss.D.
    
    Idled assets are stated at the lower of book value or net realizable value and are
reclassified to other assets. Differences between book value and net realizable value are
reported as losses in current earnings.
 Deferred Charges
  Land Use Right
  Bonds Payable
  A.
    
    The excess of the stated redemption price over the par value is recognized as
interest expense and compensation interest payable using the effective interest method
during the period from the issuance date to the last day of the redemption period.B.
    
    When a bondholder exercises his/her conversion rights, the book value of bonds is
credited to common stock at an amount equal to the par value of the stock and the excess
to capital reserve; no gain or loss is recognized on bond conversion.C.
    
    The related issuance costs of convertible bonds are recorded as deferred charges and
amortized over the period of the bonds.D.
    
    For convertible bonds with redemption options, the right of redemption becomes
invalid if the bondholder fails to exercise his/her redemption right upon expiration. The
balance of the compensation interest payable is amortized over the period from the date
following the expiration date to the maturity date using the effective interest method.
However, if the fair value of common stocks, which would have been converted on the
expiration date of the redemption right, is higher than the redemption price, compensation
interest should be reclassified from the liability to additional paid-in capital.E.
    
    The convertible bonds with redemption options are classified as current or
non-current liabilities based on the date of redemption.

 Pension Cost
  Income Tax
 A.
    
    The Company computes its income tax based on the income before tax. In accordance with
ROC SFAS No. 22, Accounting for Income Taxes, the income tax effect resulting from
temporary differences and investment tax credits is recorded as deferred income tax assets
or liabilities using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets or liabilities
are further classified into current or noncurrent and carried at net balance. Valuation
allowance on deferred tax assets is provided to the extent that it is more likely than not
that the tax benefit will not be realized.B.
    
    The Company adopted ROC SFAS No. 12, Accounting for Investment Tax Credits, in
determining the investment tax credits. The investment tax credits relating to the
acquisition cost of qualifying equipment or technology, qualifying research and development
expenditure, qualifying personnel training expenditure and qualifying investments in
significant technology companies are recognized as income tax adjustments in the period the
tax credits arise.C.
    
    Over or under provisions of prior years income tax liabilities are included in the
current periods income tax expense.D.
    
    The Taiwan imputation tax system requires that any undistributed earnings in domestic
consolidated entities be subject to an additional 10% corporate income tax, which is
recognized as tax expense at the time when the stockholders resolve the distribution of
retained earnings.E.
    
    Pursuant to the ROC Alternative Minimum Tax Act effective on January 1, 2006, the
domestic consolidated entities are required to calculate Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT), a
supplemental 10% tax on taxable income including most income that is exempted from regular
income tax under various legislations, in addition to the regular tax. If the amount of
alternative minimum tax is greater than that of the regular tax, the excess amount shall be
reported as current tax expense.

 Treasury Stock
 A.
    
    The Company records treasury stock purchases under the cost method whereby the entire
cost of the acquired stock is recorded as treasury stock and as a reduction of shareholders equity.B.
    
    Upon subsequent disposal of the treasury stock, the excess of the proceeds from
disposal over the book value, determined by the weighted-average method, is credited to
capital reserve. However, if the book value of the treasury stock exceeds the proceeds from
disposal, the excess is first charged against capital reserve arising from treasury stock
and the remainder, if any, is charged against retained earnings.C.
    
    Stock of the Company held by the subsidiaries is treated as treasury stock.
Subsidiaries gain on disposal of the Companys stock and the cash dividend income received
from the Company are recorded as additional paid-in capital  treasury stock.
 Earnings Per Share
 A.
    
    Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated
by taking into consideration additional common shares that would have been outstanding if
the equivalent diluted shares had been issued at the beginning of the year and the related
gain or loss incurred from the aforementioned conversion.B.
    
    The Companys dilutive potential common shares are employee stock options and
convertible bonds. In computing the dilutive effects of the employee stock options and
convertible bonds, the Company applies the treasury stock method and if-converted method,
respectively.
 Impairment Loss of Non-financial Assets
 A.
    
    The Company recognizes impairment loss whenever an event occurs or evidence indicates
the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is
measured as the higher of net selling price or value in use. Net selling price is the
amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arms-length transaction after deducting
any direct incremental disposal costs. The value in use is the present value of estimated
future cash flows expected to arise in its remained useful life.B.
    
    An impairment loss recognized in prior years is reversed if the impairment loss
caused by a specific external event of an exceptional nature is not expected to recur.
However, the restored amount is limited to the amount of impairment loss previously
recognized. Impairment loss for goodwill cannot be reversed.
 3.
    
    Effects of Changes in Accounting Principle
 A.
    
    Effective January 1, 2005, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 35, Accounting for Assets Impairment in the Republic of China. As a result
of the adoption of SFAS No. 35, total assets and shareholders equity decreased by
NT$163,650 as of December 31, 2005 and net income decreased by NT$163,650 for the year
ended December 31, 2005. As a result of recognition of impairment loss, basic earnings per
share decreased by NT$0.07 (in dollars) for the year ended December 31, 2005.

 B.
    
    Effective January 1, 2005, the Company ceased to delay in recognizing investment income
(loss) from certain equity-method investees in accordance with the amended Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, Accounting for Long-term Equity Investment in the
Republic of China. The cumulative effect attributable to this change in accounting
principle for the year ended December 31, 2005 was NT$650,508, which was based
on the investees financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004.C.
    
    Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the amended SFAS No. 1, Conceptual
Framework for Financial Accounting and Preparation of Financial Statements, SFAS No. 5,
Accounting for Long-term Equity Investment, SFAS No. 7, Consolidated Financial
Statements, SFAS No. 25, Business Combinations  Accounting Treatment under Purchase
Method and SFAS No. 35, Accounting for Assets Impairment, which discontinued
amortization of goodwill. This change of accounting principle had no effect on the
financial statements.D.
    
    Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the newly released SFAS No. 34,
Accounting for Financial Instruments and No. 36, Disclosure and Presentation of
Financial Instruments. As a result, the Companys total assets and total shareholders
equity increased by NT$9,277,206 as of January 1, 2006 with no impact on net income and
earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2006.

 B.
    
    Commencing from January 1, 2002, with the approval from ROC Securities and Futures
Commission, or SFB, recognition of investment income (loss) had been delayed until the
subsequent year. However, since January 1, 2005, the delay recognization of investment
income is no longer allowed persuant to SFAS No. 5. The recognition of investment income
(loss) for ChipMOS Technologies Inc. (ChipMOS) and Double Win Enterprise Co., Ltd.
(Double Win), investees accounted for under the equity method, were delayed until the
subsequent year before 2005. Therefore, the Company recognized investment income of
NT$650,508 as cumulative effects of changes in accounting principles for the year ended
December 31, 2005 based on ChipMOSs and Double Wins audited financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2004.C.
    
    At March 1, 2005, Universal Communication Technology Inc. (Universal) merged with
Sigurd Microelectronics Corp. (Sigurd). Universal was dissolved as a result of this
transaction and the Company obtained 6,595 thousand shares of Sigurds common shares. For
the year ended December 31, 2005, the investment loss of NT$9,775 was recognized based on
Universals unaudited financial statements for two months ended February 28, 2005.D.
    
    For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, the Company recognized
investment income of NT$485,503, NT$1,153,630 and NT$246,410, respectively, for all other
investees accounted for under the equity method based on investees audited financial
statements for the same periods.E.
    
    On March 27, 2007, the Company disposed its common stock ownership in ChipMOS
Technologies Inc. for US$191,147 and recognized gain on disposal of investment of
NT$793,492. Also, the Company acquired common stock ownership in ChipMOS Technologies
(Bermuda) Ltd., the parent company of ChipMOS Technologies Inc., through private stock
offering for US$76,459 and reported the investment as available-for- sale financial assets
  noncurrent.F.
    
    Due to the merger of Sigurd, one of the Companys investees originally accounted for
under the equity method, with the other company in 2006, the Companys percentage of
ownership has been reduced to below 20% and the Company is unable to exercise significant
influence on Sigurd. The Company reclassified the investment in Sigurd as
available-for-sale financial assets  noncurrent. As of December 31, 2007, the Company has
disposed all of its holding common shares of Sigurd and recognized disposal gain of
NT$208,184.

    Capital Reserve
 A.
    
    According to the Company Law of the ROC, the capital reserve arising from paid-in
capital in excess of par on the issuance of stocks, from merger, from the conversion of
convertible bonds and from donation shall be exclusively used to cover accumulated
deficits or transferred to capital. Other capital reserve shall be exclusively used to
cover accumulated deficits. The amount of capital reserve used to increase capital is
limited to 10% of the common stock each year when the Company has no accumulated deficits.
The capital
reserve can only be used to cover accumulated deficits when the legal reserve is insufficient
to cover the deficits.B.
    
    According to the Company Law of the ROC, the capital reserve is allowed to be
transferred to capital one year after the registration of capitalization is approved.
 19.
    
    Retained Earnings
 A.
    
    According to the Companys Articles of Incorporation, current years earnings before
tax, if any, shall be distributed in the following order:
 (1)
    
    Pay all taxes and duties;(2)
    
    Offset prior years operating losses, if any;(3)
    
    Set aside 10% of the remaining amount after deducting (1) and (2) as legal
reserve;(4)
    
    Set aside no more than 1% of the remaining amount after deducting items
(1), (2), and (3) as directors and supervisors remunerations.(5)
    
    After items (1), (2), (3), and (4) were deducted, 10% of the remaining
amount may be allocated as employee bonus and 90% as stockholders dividend. The
distributed amount is subject to the resolution adopted by the Board of Directors and
approved at the stockholders meeting.
 B.
    
    Among the total dividend distributed, at least 50% is distributed as cash dividend
and the rest as stock dividend. The appropriation of the profit is subject to the
resolution adopted by the Board and approval by the shareholders.C.
    
    Legal reserve can only be used to offset deficits or increase capital. The legal
reserve can be used to increase capital when and only when the reserve balance exceeds 50%
of the capital stock, and the amount capitalized should be limited to 50% of the legal
reserve.D.
    
    In accordance with the ROC Securities and Future Bureau (SFB) regulation, in
addition to legal reserve and prior to distribution of earnings, the Company should set
aside a special reserve in an amount equal to the net change in the reduction of prior
years stockholders equity, resulting from adjustments, such as cumulative foreign
currency translation adjustment and unrealized loss on available-for-sale financial
assets. Such special reserve is not available for dividend distribution. In the
subsequent year(s), if the year-end balances of the cumulative foreign currency
translation adjustment and unrealized losses on available-for-sale financial assets no
longer result in a net reduction in the stockholders equity, the special reserve
previously set aside will then be available for distribution.E.

    Commitments and Contingencies
 A.
    
    As of December 31, 2007, the Company and its subsidiaries issued but unused letters
of credit for imported machinery and equipment was approximate NT$175,027.B.
    
    For its future expansion, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into several
contracts with a total payment of NT$1,790,307, of which a total amount of NT$280,409 has
not been paid as of December 31, 2007.C.
    
    The Company entered into several contracts with five foreign companies for the use of
certain technologies and patents. The Company agreed to pay royalty fees based on the
total number of certain products sold. Contracts are valid through January 2010, December
2010, January 2011, March 2012, and November 2014, respectively. One of the contracts is
valid until all patents included in the contract expire and until both parties agree to
terminate the contract.D.
    
    On March 1, 2006, the Company was informed of a lawsuit brought by Tessera in the
United States District Court for the Northern District of California against it, its
subsidiary Siliconware USA, Inc., and five other semiconductor companies and their
subsidiaries. Tessera alleged that some of the Companys packaging services have infringed
patents owned by Tessera and breached a license agreement with Tessera. In May 2007, the
parties stipulated to a stay pending a final determination of an investigation directed
against other parties (including certain co-defendants in the lawsuit) conducted by the
ITC. Pursuant to the stipulation, the court stayed the litigation.Beginning in February 2007, the Company filed in the U.S. PTO requests for reexamination of
five Tesseras patents, four of which Tessera had asserted against the Company. The PTO has
issued either office actions or action closing prosecution favorable for the Company in all
of the reexaminations.On September 12, 2007, the Company, along with Siliconware USA, Inc. and three other
co-defendants (and their subsidiaries) in the lawsuit, moved for a temporary restraining
order, or the TRO, and a preliminary injunction prohibiting Tessera from initiating any
action before the ITC against the Company for infringement of patents subject to the license
agreements. On November 1, 2007, the court barred Tessera from initiating an action against
the Company, Siliconware USA, or the Companys three co-defendants before the ITC or outside
of California alleging infringement of patents subject to licenses with Tessera until Tessera
demonstrates that the packages accused of infringement are not under licenses. On January 11,
2008, Tessera served a draft ITC complaint on the Company alleging infringement of Tesseras
977, 326, and 419 patents. On February 19, 2008, the court ruled that Tessera had
demonstrated that laminate substrate packages are not under the license between the Company
and Tessera. Tessera has not formally served its ITC complaint on the Company.Because litigation is inherently unpredictable, the Company is unable to predict the results
or outcome of any dispute. Currently, the Company is unable to assess the potential
liabilities arising out of Tesseras claims due to the fact that information provided with
regard to the infringement scope is insufficient.

market prices derived from the active market and the reasonable measurement for the fair

    The fair value of bonds payable and current portion of bonds payable is based on
its quoted market price.(5)

financial liabilities with fair value risk of interest rate fluctuation were NT$104,135. As of
December 31, 2006 and 2007, the Company did not have financial assets and liabilities with
cash flow risk of interest rate fluctuation.C.
    
    Financial assets and liabilities whose changes in fair value are not recognized in
earnings:The Companys interest incomes from financial assets whose changes in fair value were not
recognized in earnings were NT$396,461 and NT$368,610, respectively, for the years ended
December 31, 2006 and 2007. The Companys interest expenses from financial liabilities whose
changes in fair value were not recognized in earnings were NT$130,443 and NT$90,294,
respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007. Available-for-sale financial
assets are measured at fair value at balance sheet date. For the years ended December 31, 2006
and 2007, balance of the adjustment to the shareholders equity due to changes in fair value
were NT$4,765,318 and NT$2,085,514, respectively. Unrealized gain on available-for-sale
financial assets reclassified from equity to current earnings was NT$1,519,146 for the year

    Market risk:The Companys investments in equity instruments are exposed to the market price risk.
However, the Company performs risk management controls to minimize the potential loss to an
acceptable level. The Company believes that the probability of significant market risk is
low.(2)
    
    Credit risk:The Companys investments in available-for-sale financial assets are through creditable
financial institutions. The expected credit exposure to such financial institutions is low.
For equity investments carried at cost, the Company has evaluated counter parties credit
condition each time when the Company entered into investment transaction. Thus the credit
risk is low.(3)
    
    Liquidity risk:The Companys available-for-sale financial assets are traded in active markets, which
can be sold at the prices not significantly different from their market value. The
Company is exposed to a greater liquidity risk for equity instruments measured at cost
due to the fact that no active market exists for these instruments.(4)
    
    Cash flow risk of interest rate:The Companys investments in equity financial assets are non-interest related, so the cash
flows from equity instruments are independent of changes in market interest rate.2.

    Market risk:Debt instruments include zero-coupon convertible bonds embedded with call and put
options, fixed interest rate bearing bond, short-term loans and long-term loans. The
fair value changes of the Companys US dollar denominated convertible bonds are
affected by the stock price. However, the Company can minimize the market price risk
by exercising the call option and reduce the foreign exchange rate exposure by
maintaining equivalent amounts of assets denominated in US dollar. The Companys
long-term loans are not exposed to fair value risks because the borrowings have been
issued at floating rates.(2)
    
    Credit risk:Debt instruments issued by the Company do not have significant credit risk.(3)
    
    Liquidity risk:The Company maintains sufficient working capital to meet its cash
requirements. The Company believes that there is no significant liquidity risk.(4)
    
    Cash flow risk of interest rate:The Companys zero-coupon bonds, fixed interest rate bearing bonds, and fixed interest
rate borrowings are not exposed to cash flow risk of interest rate. The Companys
long-term borrowings issued at floating rates may lead to changes of effective interest
rate and fluctuation of future cash flow. However, the Company believes that the cash
flow interest rate risk will not be significant.

    US GAAP ReconciliationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with Rules
Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, Business Entity Accounting
Law, Regulation on Business Entity Accounting Handling and accounting principles generally
accepted in the Republic of China (ROC GAAP), which differ in certain material respects from
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (US GAAP). Such differences
involve methods for measuring the amounts shown in the financial statements, as well as additional
disclosures required by US GAAP.The following is a summary of the material adjustments to net income and shareholders equity,
which would be required in reconciling the significant differences between ROC GAAP and US GAAP:

    ConsolidationUnder ROC GAAP, Statement of Accounting Standards No. 7, Consolidated Financial
Statements requires that an entity fully consolidate all of the subsidiaries which it
owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights and which it owns,
directly or indirectly, less than 50% of the voting rights but has effective control.
Significant inter-company transactions and balances between the Company and its
subsidiaries are eliminated.Under US GAAP, the FASB released Interpretation No. 46 (R), Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities (revised December 2003)  an interpretation of ARB No. 51 in December
2003, which clarifies Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial
Statements and replaces FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities  an interpretation of ARB No. 51. This interpretation requires existing
unconsolidated variable interest entities (VIE) to be consolidated by their primary
beneficiaries if the entities do not effectively disperse risks among parties involved.
In other words, the Company would be the primary beneficiary of such entity if it
absorbs a majority of the entitys expected losses, receives a majority of its expected
residual returns, or both. The Company performed analysis for VIEs and did not identify
any variable interest entity pursuant to FIN No. 46 (R).

    Compensated AbsencesUnder ROC GAAP, the Company is not required to accrue for unused vacation at the end of
each year. However, under US GAAP, unused vacation that can be carried over to the next
year has to be accrued for at each balance sheet date to properly match the expense with
the period in which the employee provided the services.(3)
    
    Stock-based CompensationEmployee Stock Option
 A.
    
    Before January 1, 2006, the Company elected to measure stock-based
compensation expense using the            intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, (APB
25), as interpreted, with pro-forma disclosure of net income (loss) and earnings
(loss) per share, as if the fair-value method of accounting defined in FAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, (FAS 123) were used. Under the
fair-value method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the
value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the
vesting period. Had the Company determined the stock-based compensation expense for
the Companys stock options based upon the fair-value as determined by
Black-Scholes option-pricing model at the grant date for the year ended December
31, 2005, the Companys net income and earnings per share would have been the
pro-forma amount indicated as follows:

    From January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FAS No. 123(R) (Revised
2004), Share-Based Payment which eliminated the alternative to use Opinion 25s
intrinsic value method and required the use of the fair value method with
forfeitures estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods if
actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. In addition, the exercise price of
the Companys stock options is subject to change due to the distribution of stock
dividends. The Company was required to measure the effects of the modification and
record incremental compensation cost if any. For the years ended December 31, 2006
and 2007, the Company recorded share-based compensation expense of NT$27,331 and
NT$2,356 and will not continue to incur share-based compensation charges for the 2002
Employee Stock Option Plan.

    For computing the fair value of options granted, we use the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with input assumptions of expected volatility,
expected life, expected dividend rate and expected risk-free rate of return. We
applied the historical volatility based on the historical stock price volatility
over the historical time period commensurate with the expected term of the employee
stock option. The expected term is based on our contractual term. We estimated
dividend yield by historical experience. Besides, we used the yield of Taiwan
Government Bond with the contract term equal to the expected term of the share
options as our risk-free interest rate pursuant to SFAS No. 123 (R), which required
entities based in jurisdiction outside the United States to use the implied yield
of zero-coupon government bonds currently available in the market where the shares
are primarily traded when estimating the risk-free interest rate. The fair value of
the Companys stock options used to compute the 2005, 2006, and 2007 compensation
expense is the estimated present value at grant date using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

 (i)
    
    Remuneration to directorsThe Companys Articles of Incorporation require a cash remuneration payment to its
directors. Under ROC GAAP, such payments are charged directly to retained earnings
for the period in which shareholders approve such payment. Under US GAAP, such cash
payments should be recorded as compensation expense in the period when services are
rendered.(ii)
    
    Employee bonusesCertain employees of the Company are entitled to bonuses in accordance with
applicable provisions of the Companys Articles of Incorporation. Employee bonuses
are set at 10% of distributable retained earnings. Distributable retained earnings
are calculated as retained earnings after various reserves have been made in
accordance with ROC regulations and the Companys Articles of Incorporation and after
appropriation for remuneration to directors. Employee bonuses may be granted in
cash, shares, or a combination of both. Regardless of the form of the bonus,
however, the shareholders are required by the Article of Incorporation to approve a
10% of distributable earnings as the employee bonus whenever there is a dividend
distribution. Under ROC GAAP, such bonuses are appropriated from retained earnings
in the period shareholders approval is obtained. If such employee bonuses are
settled through the issuance of shares of the Company, the amount charged against
retained earnings is based on the par value of the common shares
issued. Under US GAAP, employee bonus expense is initially accrued at the end of the
period when services are rendered, at 10% of the distributable retained earnings,
which is considered the minimum liability the Company has to pay. When bonuses are
approved by the shareholders in the subsequent year, an additional compensation
expense is recorded for the difference between the par value and the fair market

    Equity InvestmentsUnder both ROC and US GAAP, investments representing at least twenty percent of the
voting interest of each investee for which the Company exercises significant influence
over operating and financial policies are generally accounted for under the equity
method. However, there are the following differences in applying equity accounting
under ROC and US GAAP.
 (i)
    
    Timing differenceUnder the equity method, the Companys proportionate share of the income (loss) of
the investee is generally recognized in the year the income (loss) is earned.
Under ROC GAAP, if financial statements of an investee are not prepared in a
sufficiently timely manner to enable the Company to apply the equity method
currently and such equity interests are below certain materiality thresholds, the
Company was permitted to delay the recognition of income (loss) until the
subsequent year. However, effective January 1, 2005, the Company ceased to delay
in recognizing investment income (loss) from certain equity-method investees in
accordance with the amended Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5,
Accounting for Long-term Equity Investment in the Republic of China. Under US
GAAP, there are no provisions that allow the investor company to delay recognition
of its equity in the investees income or loss. The US GAAP adjustment is to
adjust the timing difference by deducting the delayed income/loss recognized under
ROC GAAP and adding the current years investment income/loss to arrive the net
income under US GAAP. No timing difference occured for the year 2006 and
thereafter.(ii)
    
    Net income (loss) variance between US GAAP and ROC GAAPThe Companys proportionate share of the income (loss) from an equity investee may
differ if the equity investees net income (loss) under ROC GAAP differs from US
GAAP, resulting in differences in the carrying amount of the equity investment
reported under ROC GAAP and US GAAP. The differences between ROC GAAP and US GAAP
for the equity investees include, but are not limited to, accounting for
compensation, joint venture accounting, embedded derivatives, deferred tax, and
compensated absences.

    Technology and know-how contributed to a joint venture investeeIn 1997, the Company established a joint venture, ChipMOS. Both SPIL and its joint
venture partner contributed cash as well as technological know-how to the joint
venture. The Company contributed cash in the amount of NT$1.4 billion. The
technological know-how contributed was not carried on the Companys balance sheet
and was valued at NT$0.1 billion, a deemed value agreed to by both parties.Under ROC GAAP, the Company recognized an initial cost of investment for NT$1.5
billion for cash and the value of know-how contributed. The value of know-how was
recognized as a deferred gain under other liabilities and was amortized over a
period during which the know-how transfer was completed and implemented.Under US GAAP, generally, an investor initially records its joint venture
investment at cost (i.e. the amount of cash contributed or net book value of
non-cash assets contributed) and a gain should not be recognized on receipt of an
interest in a joint venture if some or all of the investors interest was received
for the know-how contributed. Therefore, under US GAAP, the Company initially
recorded its joint venture investment at the amount of cash contributed of NT$1.4
billion, and did not recognize the deemed value for the know-how contributed. In
addition, the excess of the Companys cost of investment of NT$1.4 billion over the
Companys proportionate share of fair value of ChipMOS identifiable net assets is
being amortized over a period of 5 years under US GAAP. Effective January 1, 2002,
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142 requires that we cease
amortization for the difference between the cost of an investment accounted for
under the equity method and the amount of underlying equity in net assets of the
investee. The difference between the cost of the investment and the amount of
underlying equity in net assets of ChipMOS was fully written off in 2002.(iv)
    
    Adjustment for the variances between net income and shareholders equity under US GAAPThe Companys proportionate share of the income (loss) from an equity investee may
differ from its share in the investees equity. Under both ROC GAAP and US GAAP, the
Company is
required to adjust its investment in corresponded to its pro rata share of the
investees equity. Under ROC GAAP, adjustments may include, but are not limited to,
cumulative translation and unrecognized pension cost. For reconciliation to US
GAAP, additional adjustments are made for the variances exclusively resulting from
US GAAP, such as defined benefit pension plan pursuant to SFAS No. 158.
 (5)
    
    Defined Benefit Pension Plan
 (i)
    
    Net periodic pension cost variance between US GAAP and ROC GAAPThe Companys net periodic pension cost under US GAAP may differ from the one under
ROC GAAP due to differences in, but not limited to, service cost, interest cost,
expected return on assets and the amortization in net gain (loss). Reconciliation of
the difference between US GAAP and ROC GAAP is required before reaching US GAAP
funding status.(ii)
    
    Adjustment for the US GAAP funding statusUnder ROC GAAP, pension liability is accrued without reflecting the funded status
and additional minimum liability is used when the fair value of pension assets is
less than the amount of accumulated

    10% Tax on Undistributed Earnings and Tax Effect of US GAAP AdjustmentsUnder ROC GAAP, a 10% tax on undistributed earnings is recognized as a tax expense in
the year of shareholders approval. Under US GAAP, the 10% tax on undistributed
earnings should be accrued during the period the earnings generated and adjusted to
the extent that distributions are approved by the shareholders in the following year.
Moreover, additional tax benefit (expense) and deferred tax assets or liabilities
would be adjusted for the reconciled items resulting in income differences between ROC
GAAP and US GAAP. For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, total amounts
of tax benefit (expense) reconciled from ROC GAAP to US GAAP were NT$2,450, NT$
(17,529) and NT$24,336, of which nil, NT$(22,446) and NT$22,446 were adjusted for the
undistributed earnings.(7)
    
    Earnings Per Share (EPS)In calculating weighted average number of shares outstanding for EPS purposes under
ROC GAAP, employee bonus shares have been treated as outstanding for all periods, in a
manner similar to a stock split or dividend, and are retroactively adjusted to
previous years calculation of weighted-average outstanding shares. Under US GAAP,
employee bonus shares have been considered separately from the stock dividend or split
and have been treated as outstanding from the date when they were issued. The numbers
of employee bonus shares issued in 2005, 2006, and 2007 were 18,765,500 shares,
26,779,433 shares, and 35,203,522 shares, respectively.In computing the dilutive effect of convertible bonds when calculating net income
available to common stockholders for diluted EPS, the after-tax results of compensated
interest expenses, unrealized foreign exchange gain/loss, amortization of bond
issuance costs are taken into consideration under ROC GAAP. However, under US GAAP,
in addition to the above three items, the after tax result of mark-to-market gain or
loss on embedded derivatives bifurcated from the host bonds is also taken into
consideration. Anti-dilutive effects are not
adjusted for both under ROC GAAP and under US GAAP.For the purpose of computing the dilutive effect of the employee stock option, the
treasury-stock method is used. Treasury shares that could be repurchased with assumed
proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options might not be sufficient for the
share issued upon exercising options. Therefore, incremental shares are added to the
weighted average number of shares outstanding. Under ROC GAAP, the assumed proceeds
are the exercise price. Under US GAAP, the assumed proceeds is the sum of (a) the
exercise price, (b) the amount of compensation cost attributed to future services and
not yet recognized, and (c) the amount of excess tax benefits that would be credited
to additional paid-in capital assuming exercise of the options. Therefore, the amount
of incremental shares calculated under US GAAP would be different from the one
calculated under ROC GAAP.

    Marketable SecuritiesBefore the adoption of ROC FAS No. 34, effective January 1, 2006, marketable equity
securities and long-term equity investments in which the Company owns less than 20% of
the voting rights of a publicly listed investee company are carried at the lower of
cost or market value, and debt securities at cost. The market value of listed stocks
is determined by the average closing price during the last month of the accounting
period. After the adoption of newly released statement, the Company is required to
reclassify its equity investments into financial assets at fair value through profit
or loss, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity securities or financial assets carried
at costs. Unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities are reported
through shareholders equity.Under US GAAP FAS 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities, debt and equity securities that have readily determinable fair values are
to be classified as either trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity securities.
Debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to
maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and reported at amortized cost.
Debt and equity securities that are bought and traded for short-term profits are
classified as trading securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and
losses included in earnings. Debt and equity securities not classified as either
held-to-maturity or trading are classified as available-for-sale securities and
reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and
reported as a separate component of shareholders equity. The fair value of listed
stock under US GAAP is generally determined by the closing price at the balance sheet
date. For individual securities classified as either available-for-sale or
held-to-maturity, the Company performs an analysis to determine whether a decline in
fair value below cost is other than temporary. No such impairment has been identified
during the periods presented.(9)
    
    Goodwill Acquired from MergerUnder ROC GAAP, the fair value of the net assets we received was used as the value of
the consideration for the acquisition of the remaining interests in Siliconware
Corporation on December 31, 2000 and reflected in the common stock and capital reserve
in our balance sheet. As the consideration is equal to the fair value of the net
assets received, no goodwill is recorded.Under US GAAP, in connection with acquisition of Siliconware Corporation in 2000, the
Company recorded net assets and goodwill of NT$5,415,439, respectively, based on
independent appraisal report. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, goodwill was
amortized on straight-line basis over ten years. Effective January 1, 2002, the
Company adopted SFAS No. 142 and ceased amortization of goodwill and performed the
annual
impairment analysis using a fair value approach. As of December 31, 2007, the net
carrying amount of goodwill was NT$4,873,500 and no impairment of goodwill was
identified during 2005 to 2007.(10)
    
    Stock DividendsUnder ROC GAAP, an issuance of stock dividend is recorded at par with a charge to
retained earnings. Under US GAAP, if the ratio of distribution is less than 25
percent of shares of the same class outstanding, the fair value of the shares issued
should be charged to retained earnings. This different treatment results, under US
GAAP, in a reclassification from retained earnings to additional paid-in capital of
NT$30,346,758

    Impairment of Long-lived Assets and Equity Investments
 (i)
    
    Impairment of long-lived assetsUnder both ROC GAAP and US GAAP, the Company is required to valuate whether
long-lived assets are subject to impairment. Impairment test is performed whenever
event occurs or evidence indicates the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable.Under ROC GAAP, ROC SFAS No. 35, Accounting for Assets Impairment, effective for
fiscal years ended on and after December 31, 2005 and interim period within the
fiscal year, a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated
recoverable amount is less than the assets carrying value. Recoverable amount is
measured as the higher of net selling price or value in use (discounted cash
flows). The difference between the recoverable amount and the assets carrying
amount is recognized as a loss in earnings.Under US GAAP, a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated
undiscounted cash flows are less than the assets carrying value. In that event, a
loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair
value of the long-lived assets. The estimate of fair value is generally based on
quoted market prices, on the best available information, including prices for
similar assets and the results of using other valuation techniques, or discounted
cash flows.The Company performs periodical review for its long-lived assets and reclassifies
idle assets from assets held for operating use. Idle assets are no longer used for
production purposes due to technology phase out and replacement and are disposed as
buyers are identified. These assets are reported at the lower of carrying amount or
fair value less cost to sell. The impairment losses on idle assets for the years
ended December 31, 2005, 2006, and 2007 were NT$68,766, NT$27,672 and NT$48,528,
respectively. No impairment was identified for other long-lived assets besides idle
assets and no reconciliation for impairment loss between ROC GAAP and US GAAP were
made for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007.(ii)
    
    Impairment of equity investmentsBoth under ROC GAAP and US GAAP, the Company valuates its equity investments for
impairment due to declines in the market value that are considered other than
temporary. Such valuations include an assessment of general economic and
company-specific considerations, such as customer forecasts and regularly updated
projections of operating results. In the event of a determination that a decline in
market value is other than
temporary, loss is recognized in the current years income. The valuation of
whether a decline in market value is other than temporary requires considerable
management judgment. For an investee who resolves to liquidate or dissolve, a
one-time write-off would be recorded to the extent that the estimated proceeds
would be obtained and the amount of investment balance would not be recovered.During 2005, the Company adopted ROC SFAS 35, Accounting for Assets Impairment ,
performed quarterly reviews for determining whether long-term investments accounted
for under equity method had been impaired and recognized impairment loss for Double
Win of NT$84,450, bringing the investment

    Embedded Derivative  The Companys Accounting as an IssuerUnder ROC GAAP, when an issuer issues convertible bonds, the entire instrument is
recorded as a liability at an amount equal to the proceeds received. Any discount or
premium to the par value of the convertible bond is amortized in the statement of
operations by using the effective interest rate method. If the convertible bonds
contain a redemption premium above their par value amount, the excess is accrued,
using the effective interest rate method, over the period to redemption as a charge to
interest expense. Upon conversion, the carrying value of the bond is credited to
common stock at its par value and the difference between the carrying value of the
bond and the par value of the stock is recorded to additional paid-in capital. No
gain or loss is recognized.Under US GAAP, in accordance with SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities, the conversion feature embedded in a bond does not have to be
separately accounted for as a derivative at fair value, if the feature is indexed only
to the issuers own stock and would otherwise be classified in stockholders equity in
the issuers statement of financial position (the Scope Exception).The Company issued zero-coupon convertible bonds on January 28, 2002 amounting to
US$200,000 (the 2002 Bonds). The 2002 Bonds are denominated in US dollars and allow
the bondholders to redeem at 105.9185% of their par value on July 29, 2004. The
premium put option and the conversion option are treated as a single-compound
derivative instrument. Further, under US GAAP, the embedded feature with the
combination of mutually exclusive choices, i.e., conversion of the debt to equity or
redemption at a multiple of the 2002 Bonds par value, does not qualify for the Scope
Exception. Additionally, our 2002 Bonds allow bondholders to convert into either the
Companys common stock which is traded on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (denominated in
New Taiwan Dollar) or into the Companys ADSs, which are traded on NASDAQ (denominated
in US Dollars). The conversion terms contain a fixed foreign exchange feature
determining the rate at which the bonds are to be converted into New Taiwan Dollar
stock. As a result of the combination of the conversion option and the fixed foreign
exchange rate, the 2002 Bonds are dual indexed and therefore not eligible for the
Scope Exception. On February 5, 2004, the Company issued zero-coupon convertible
bonds amounting to US$200,000 (the 2004 Bonds). Similar to the 2002 Bonds, the 2004
Bonds permit the bondholders to convert those bonds into either the
Companys New Taiwan Dollar shares or ADSs resulting in those bonds being dual indexed
and also not eligible for the Scope Exception. Both the compound embedded derivative
in the 2002 Bonds and the embedded conversion option in the 2004 Bonds are accounted
for as derivative instruments in accordance with FAS 133 with changes in fair value
recognized in the income statement. The Company also recognized interest expense of
NT$431,962, NT$240,446, and NT$27,715 arising from the amortization of bond discount
and loss on subsequent conversion and/or buyback of convertible bonds of NT$4,442,
NT$945,956 and NT$1,131,897, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006
and 2007.For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, the net loss recognized from
applying derivative accounting amounting to NT$2,422,617, NT$2,986,828 and
NT$1,181,410, respectively.

    Merger between Sigurd and UniversalUniversal Communication Technology Inc. (Universal), an equity-method investee of the
Company, was merged into Sigurd Microelectronics Corp. (Sigurd), another equity-method
investee of the Company, on March 1, 2005. Under ROC GAAP, the Company recognized its
change of proportional interest in Sigurd based on the fair value of Universals net
assets at the acquisition date. However, under US GAAP, the Company recognized its
change of proportional interest in Sigurd based on the fair value of Sigurds newly
issued stocks at the acquisition date.(14)
    
    Disposal of ChipMOS Technologies Inc. with Subscription of ChipMOS Technologies (Bermuda)
Ltd.On March 27, 2007, the Company disposed its common stock ownership in ChipMOS
Technologies Inc., or ChipMOS, and acquired common stock ownership in ChipMOS
Technologies (Bermuda) Ltd., or ChipMOS Bermuda, the parent company of ChipMOS
Technologies Inc., through private stock offering. Under ROC GAAP, the Company
evaluated whether this exchange had commercial substance, which was the expectation of
significant change of the future cash flows of the Company, and concluded that no such
significant change would be expected. Therefore, the Company recognized gain on
disposal of investment of NT$793,492 for the year ended December 31, 2007 and deferred
the recognition of gain on disposal of NT$279,843 until the investment in ChipMOS
Bermuda is disposed. However, under US GAAP, this transaction involved significant
monetary consideration which was at least 25% of the fair value exchange was deemed to
be a monetary exchange in accordance with EITF 01-02, Interpretations of APB Opinion
No. 29. Also, the transfer of our ownership in ChipMOS with ChipMOS Bermuda for its
equity interest was excluded from the scope of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for
Nonmonetary Transactions pursuant to SFAS No.153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets -
an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29".Therefore, the Company recorded the exchange in
fair value and included deferred gain under the ROC GAAP in its U.S. GAAP earnings for
the year ended December 31, 2007.

    Uncertainty in Income TaxesEffective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, the FASB Interpretation
No. (FIN) 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income TaxesAn Interpretation of FASB
Statement No. 109, requires the recognition of the impact of a tax position in our
financial statements if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on
audit. This interpretation also prescribes measurement of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return and provides guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and
transition.The Company adopted the two-step evaluation process required by this interpretation.
The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position
will be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. The
second step is
to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements if the
more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is met. The tax position is measured at the
largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized
upon settlement. As a result of the evaluation, the Company did not recognize any
cumulative effect adjustment to the retained earnings at the beginning of the year
2007. As of December 31, 2007, there was no material uncertain tax position or
unrecognized tax benefit identified by the Company.

 In accordance with SFAS No. 158, the Companys 2005 accounting and related disclosures were
not affected by the adoption of the new standard.(ii)
    
    The following tables set forth the actuarial assumptions, funded status and
amounts recognized for the Companys defined benefit pension plan pursuant to SFAS No.
87 and SFAS No. 158:

    2007Discounted rate
    
    
    3.25
    %

    %Expected rate of return on plan assets
    
    
    3.25
    %
    
    
    3.00
    %
 In determining the discount rate, SFAS No. 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions,
recommends some factors for consideration, including: (a) rates of return on high-quality,
fixed-income investments currently available and expected to be available during the
period to maturity of the pension benefits; and (b) rates implicit in current prices of
annuity contracts that could be used to effectively settle the pension obligation. Since
Taiwan bond market does not have a deep market for corporate bonds, the yield rates of
government bonds with duration years of 15 years or more are mainly used in determining
the discount rate.(2)

foreign investment, short-term notes,

 securitized products. The Company does not have
authority on how to invest the money. The plan assets increase by the Companys
contributions, account interest earned and profit sharing of the portfolio of BOT pension
assets and decrease by the payments made to the retired employees.(iv)

    Contributions:The Company expects to contribute NT$55,148 to its pension plan in 2008.
 (7)
    
    Inventory ProvisionThe Company evaluates its inventory based on the lower of cost or market value (LCM) and
records inventory at market by allowance method, which an allowance account and a loss
account are established for the inventory write-downs in the period in which the loss occurs.
Balance of the allowance account is reversed and a gain on the recovery of loss on
obsolescence and decline in market value of inventory is recognized only when the inventory
is sold or disposed. The accounting treatment under ROC GAAP is identical to which under US
GAAP.(8)
    
    Revenue Recognition Accounting PolicyThe Company derives its revenues from the provision of independent assembly, testing
services, and turnkey services and recognizes service revenues upon shipment or upon
completion of various stages of turnkey services, based upon transaction terms and when
collection is reasonable assured, which is essentially the same under US GAAP. If turnkey
services are negotiated in one contract, the Company recognizes revenues based on the quoted
prices when all of the revenue recognition criteria are met.

    Sales ReturnsThe Company derives revenues only from providing independent testing and assembly services to
semiconductor companies. As the Company does not engage in product sales, it does not
account for sales returns.(10)
    
    Major Debt CovenantsThe major covenants of the Companys long-term loans are as follows:
 a.
    
    Current ratio should be larger than 100%.b.
    
    Liability to equity ratio should be lower than 100%.c.

    Operating LeasesThe Company entered into three lease contracts with Science Park Administration for
the use of land of the facility located in Hsinchu, Taiwan. None of these three
contracts have met any of the four criteria classified as capital leases and no
noncancelable lease terms are included in the leases. Rental expenses recorded for the
years ended December 31, 2005, 2006, and 2007 were NT$7,760, NT$9,055, and NT$10,300,

    Recent Accounting PronouncementsUS GAAP
 A.
    
    In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurement to define fair value, which establishes a framework for measuring fair
value under generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. This statement will apply whenever another statement
requires or permits assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The
standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No.
157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. However, in February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-2,
Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 to delay the effective date of SFAS
No.157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that
are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements
on a recurring basis until the beginning of the first quarter of 2009. Currently,
we are evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No.157 on those assets and
liabilities subject to the delay application in accordance with FSP FAS 157-2.
After evaluating the impact of the adoption SFAS No.157, the Company does not
expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.B.
    
    In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No.159, The Fair Value Option
for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities  Including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115, which permits all entities to choose, on specified election
dates, to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has
been elected will be recognized in earnings on each subsequent reporting date. SFAS
159 is effective for an entitys fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. The
adoption of SFAS 159 is expected not to have any significant impact on the
Companys financial results.C.
    
    In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007),
Business Combinations, which requires an acquirer to recognize the assets
acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest and contractual
contingencies and contingent consideration in the acquiree at the acquisition date,
measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. It also
requires that acquisition-related costs be recognized separately from the
acquisition and expensed as incurred. This statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2008 and its effect will depend on the terms and
timing of future acquisitions, if any.D.
    
    In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling
Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements  an amendment of ARB No. 51, which requires that minority
ownership interest be presented in the consolidated statement of financial position
within equity, but separate from the parents equity. This statement is effective
for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Currently, the Company
does not expect any significant impact on the adoption of SFAS No. 160 on its
consolidated financial statements.

 ROC GAAP
 A.
    
    In March 2007, the ROC Accounting Research and Development Foundation
issued Interpretation Letter Ref. (96) 052, Accounting for Employees Bonuses and
Directors Remunerations, which requires all entities to estimate the amount of
employees bonuses and directors remunerations and record that amount as
compensation expense in the period when services are rendered. Retained earnings
would be no longer charged for employees bonuses and directors remunerations.
This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1,
2008. In the meantime, the Company believes that this change will decrease our net
income for the years ended December 31, 2008 and thereafter.B.
    
    In August 2007, the ROC Accounting Research and Development Foundation
issued SFAS No. 39, Share-based Payment, which requires an entity to measure the
cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments
based on the grant-date fair value. That cost will be recognized over the requisite
service period in exchange for the award. No compensation cost is recognized for
equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. It also
requires an entity to initially measure the cost of employee services received in
exchange for an award of liability instruments which value is based on the current
fair value of its equity investments. The compensation expense recognized over the
requisite service period is subject to change due to remeasurement of the fair
value of that award subsequently at each reporting date through the settlement
date. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1,
2008. Currently, the Company believes there is no significant impact on its
consolidated financial statements.

purchases of machinery and equipment will expire from 2007 to 2010. Under ROC tax
regulations, tax credits can be utilized to reduce current income tax obligations only to
the extent of 50% of such income tax obligations except in the year when such tax credit
will expire, in which case, the entire amount of expiring tax credit may be utilized to
reduce the current income tax obligation. The foregoing limitation on the utilization of
tax credits, the expiry dates of the tax credits, the level of tax credits expected to be
generated from future operations and the level of non-taxable income attributable to the
four-year income tax holiday on capacity expansion led management to conclude that it is
unlikely that these investment tax credits will be fully realized. Loss carry forwards can
be used to deduct current income tax obligation up to the extent of taxable income and will
be expired after 5 years if not fully utilized by the Company. Accordingly, a valuation
allowance on deferred tax assets is recognized as of December 31, 2005 and 2006.The tax authorities have examined and assessed the income tax returns of ChipMOS Taiwan and
ThaiLin through 2003 and 2004, respectively.According to ROC tax law, unappropriated earnings generated in 1998 and thereafter are
subject to a tax of 10% in the year when the shareholders resolve that such earnings shall
be retained. The retained earnings (accumulated deficit) of ChipMOS Taiwan as of December
31, 2005 and 2006 were generated during and after 1998.

    On April 20, 1999, ChipMOS Taiwan entered into a semiconductor packaging technology
license agreement with Tessera Technologies, Inc. (Tessera). Under this agreement,
ChipMOS Taiwan agreed to pay a license fee of US$500 thousand and a royalty fee at a
certain percentage of the net sales of certain products. ChipMOS Taiwan paid the total
license fee of approximately US$500 thousand (NT$15,888 thousand) in 1999 and amortized
the amount over 5 years using the straight-line method. ChipMOS Taiwan also paid
approximately US$500 thousand (NT$16,708 thousand) in 2004 as the cumulative production
and sales quantity of products bearing Tessera Compliant Chip packages did not meet the
commitment schedule as set in the agreement. In February 2006, ChipMOS Taiwan and ChipMOS
USA have received notice of a patent infringement lawsuit brought by Tessera, alleging
infringement of several Tessera patents and breach of an existing license agreement with
ChipMOS Taiwan. According to Companys counsel, fact discovery has been ongoing and is
scheduled to close on March 31, 2007, although it may be extended beyond that date by
order of the Court. Therefore, expert discovery will be continued and the trial date
could be moved to April 2008. The Companys counsel has not formed an opinion as to the
outcome of the case.h.
    
    On October 16, 2006, Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. (Freescale) unilaterally
terminated an Immunity Agreement, (the Agreement) ChipMOS Taiwan and Freescale,
formerly part of Motorola, Inc. (Motorola), entered into in 1999 for ChipMOS Taiwans
alleged breach of the Agreement. Under the Agreement, ChipMOS Taiwan promised to pay
royalties and licensee fees to Motorola for using certain patents owned by Motorola.
Freescale replaced Motorola as a party to the Agreement, after Freescale was spun off from
Motorola. Freescale has alleged that ChipMOS Taiwan breached the Agreement by failing to
pay royalties on certain packages assembled by ChipMOS Taiwan. Freescale claims that such
packages are covered by one or more Freescale patents identified in the Agreement while
ChipMOS Taiwan contends that such packages are not covered by any patents in the
Agreement, or, if covered, those patents are invalid. As such, ChipMOS Taiwan argues
Freescales unilateral termination of the Agreement has no legal effect. ChipMOS Taiwan
has continued to make royalty payments for products it believes are covered by the
Agreement. Any payments returned by Freescale have been deposited in a separate escrow
account. If Freescale initiates a lawsuit, ChipMOS Taiwan expect to vigorously defend
itself. The Companys counsel has not formed any opinion as to the outcome of the case.

b.
    
    European optionsChipMOS Taiwan expects to receive U.S. dollars from its export sales and to pay Japanese yen
for its importation of materials, machinery, and equipment. It has entered into foreign
currency option contracts with banks to hedge exchange rate risks. As of December 31, 2005
and 2006, ChipMOS Taiwan had no outstanding foreign currency option contracts. For the years
ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, ChipMOS Taiwan didnt realize premium income of NT$36 and
nil thousand, respectively.c.
    
    Interest Rate RisksChipMOS Taiwan has entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate risk by
exchanging a quarto stepping interest rate for a floating rate and keeps records when
transactions are settled. The difference of the interests is calculated quarterly and is
credited or charged to the income in the current period. The benefit of interest rate swaps
recognized as non-operating income in 2005 and 2006 were NT$11,190 thousand and nil
respectively.d.
    
    Transaction risks
 1)
    
    Credit risk. The banks with which the Company has entered into the above
contracts are reputable and, therefore, the Company does not expected to be exposed to
significant credit risks.2)
    
    Market risk and hedge strategy. The Company is exposed to market risks arising
from changes in currency exchange rates due to U.S. dollar denominated accounts
receivable, Yen denominated accounts payable and U.S. dollar denominated debt. In order
to manage these exposures, the Company entered into forward contracts and option
contracts occasionally.3)
    
    Liquidity and cash requirements. The cash flow requirements with respect to the
Companys forward contracts are limited to the periodic premium payments and the net
differences of the contracted settlement rates. On the other hand, call/put options may
not have to be exercised at all in cases where the strike price is higher/lower than the
related market price at exercise dates.

    Bonuses to employees, directors and supervisorsAccording to ROC regulations and the Articles of Incorporation of ChipMOS Taiwan, a portion
of distributable earnings should be appropriated as bonuses to employees and
remuneration to directors and supervisors. The remuneration to directors and
supervisors is paid in cash, while bonuses to employees may be granted in cash or
stock or both. These appropriations, including stock bonuses, which are valued at par
value of NT$10, are charged against retained earnings under ROC GAAP, after such
appropriations are formally approved by the shareholders in the following year.Under U.S. GAAP, such bonuses and remuneration are charged to income currently and
included in operating expenses as compensation expenses. Since the amount and form of
such bonuses and remuneration are not finally determinable until approved by the
shareholders, the total amount of such bonuses and remuneration is initially accrued
based on the amount to be paid as provided by ChipMOS Taiwans Articles of
Incorporation. The percentage to be paid in stock is determined at the next
shareholders meeting in the following year. The number of shares to be issued is
determined by dividing the amount to be paid in stock by the par value of the shares.
Any difference between the initially accrued amount (the cash portion plus the par
value of the shares) and the fair market value of the bonuses settled (the cash
portion plus the fair value of the shares) is recognized in the year of approval by
the shareholders.b.
    
    Financial assetsPrior to January 1, 2006 under ROC GAAP, marketable equity securities are carried at the
lower of aggregate cost or market value, and debt securities at cost, with only unrealized
losses recognized when losses are irrecoverable. Under SFAS No. 115, Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, debt and equity securities that have
readily determinable fair values are to be classified as either trading, available-for-sale
or held-to-maturity securities. Debt securities that the Company has the positive intent
and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and reported
at amortized cost. Debt and equity securities that are bought and traded for short-term
profit are classified as trading
securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in
earnings. Debt and equity
 F-121

##### Table of Contents



securities not classified as either held-to-maturity or trading
are classified as available-for-sale securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized
gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in a separate component of
shareholders equity; however, unrealized losses relating to declines in fair value deemed
to be other than temporary are recorded in earnings. The 2004 and 2005 adjustment below
relates to the Companys equity securities that are classified as trading and
available-for-sale securities under U.S. GAAP. There is no difference between ROC GAAP and
U.S. GAAP effective January 1, 2006.
 c.
    
    Long-term investmentsUnder both ROC and U.S. GAAP, investments in shares of companies wherein the
Company owns over 20% of the outstanding common stock and exercises significant
influence over operating and financial policies of the investee companies are
generally accounted for under the equity method. However, there are differences in
applying equity accounting under ROC and U.S. GAAP. The Companys proportionate share
of the income (loss) from an equity investee may differ if the equity investees net
income (loss) under ROC GAAP differs from that under U.S. GAAP. The differences
between ROC GAAP and U.S. GAAP for the equity investees have been adjusted and
included in the reconciliation below.Under the equity method, the Companys proportionate share of the income (loss) of
the investee is generally recognized in the year the income (loss) is earned.
However, in 2004 under ROC GAAP, if audited financial statements of an investee are
not available for the Company to apply the equity method due to time constraints and
such equity interests are below certain materiality threshold, the Company is
permitted to delay the recognition of income (loss) until 2005. Under US GAAP, there
are no provisions that allow the investor company to delay recognition of its equity
in the investees income or loss. The US GAAP represents the proportionate share of
loss of long-term investment in 2004. In 2005 and 2006, there was no such difference.d.
    
    Technologies transferred in payment of capital stockAs discussed in Note 11, MVI and SPIL contributed, as payment to their subscription in the shares of stock of ChipMOS Taiwan, technologies relating to the testing and assembly of
semiconductors at an agreed value of NT$750,000 thousand. Under ROC GAAP, such technology
transfers in payment of capital stock are recorded as an intangible asset, and amortized by
systematic charges to income over the periods estimated to be benefited. As permitted
under ROC GAAP, ChipMOS Taiwan uses a 5 years amortization period. Under U.S. GAAP, the
technology contribution cannot be recognized due to the unavailability of a fair value for
the technologies. Therefore, the carrying value of the technologies has been adjusted to
zero under U.S. GAAP.

e.
    
    Start-up costsROC GAAP requires start-up costs to be deferred and amortized in a systematic manner over
the periods of the expected benefit. Start-up costs include all costs incurred prior to
production readiness. On the other hand, U.S. GAAP primarily requires that start-up costs
be expensed as incurred.f.
    
    Depreciation of fixed assets and employee dormitory buildingUnder ROC GAAP, the estimated life of a building can be as long as 55 years based on the
ROC Internal Revenue Code. For U.S. GAAP purpose, building lives are estimated to be 25
years.g.
    
    Transfer of building and facilities from MVIChipMOS Taiwan purchased building and facilities from MVI in 1997. The actual costs of
assets purchased from MVI were based on MVIs book value of such building and facilities on
a specified cut-off date plus an additional payment of NT$173,174 thousand representing
compensation to MVI. ChipMOS Taiwan capitalized, allowed under ROC GAAP such additional
payment of NT $173,174 thousand. Under U.S. GAAP, assets acquired are recorded at amounts
that do not exceed their fair values. Also, generally under U.S. GAAP, the transferee
should evaluate the assets transferred from related parties with significant influence at
the predecessors basis. Therefore, the assets transferred from MVI were evaluated at
MVIs predecessor cost basis and the NT$173,174 thousand was deducted from the capital
surplus and building and facilities for U.S. GAAP.h.
    
    InventoryAs discussed in paragraphs e. f. and g., the amortization of start-up costs, the
depreciation on fixed assets and employee dormitory building, and the depreciation on the
assets transferred from MVI were reconciled for U.S. GAAP purposes. Some of such expenses
were recorded in the manufacturing expenses and therefore affect ending inventory balances
under U.S. GAAP.i.
    
    Capital surplusUnder ROC GAAP, the following items are treated as capital surplus: (a) premium on
issuance of common stocks; and (b) gain, net of applicable income tax, on disposal of
properties. Under U.S. GAAP, item (a) is the same as in ROC GAAP; and item (b) is recorded
as part of net income, which is then included as a component of retained earnings.
However, starting in 2001, the treatment of item (b) under ROC GAAP has become the same as
under U.S. GAAP.j.
    
    Impairment of long-lived assetsUnder U.S. GAAP, impairment losses for assets to be held and used are recorded in
current period earnings and create a new cost basis for related assets going forward,
and cannot be reversed subsequently. Under U.S. GAAP, in accordance with SFAS No.
144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, long-lived
assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the
recoverability test is performed by comparing undiscounted net cash flows of the
assets to the net book value of the assets. If the recoverability test indicates that
impairment has occurred, the impairment loss is the amount of
 F-123

##### Table of Contents



the assets net book value in excess of the related fair value. Prior to January 1, 2005,
there is no requirement provided for impairment of long-lived assets under ROC GAAP.
Therefore, the Company applied US GAAP to evaluate the long-lived assets for impairment
purpose in 2004. In 2005, the adjustment for impairment of long-term investment
represented the additional impairment to be recognized after the reversal of amortization
of goodwill in respect of the long-term investment. In 2006, the adjustment represents the
reversal of impairment loss recognized under ROC GAAP that were already recognized under
U.S. GAAP in 2005.
 k.
    
    Stock bonus and dividendUnder ROC GAAP, stock bonus and dividends are recorded at par value with a charge to
retained earnings. Under U.S. GAAP, if the ratio of distribution is less than 25 percent of
the same class of shares outstanding, the fair value of the shares issued should be charged
to retained earnings and capital surplus. Accordingly, an adjustment of NT$61,632 thousand
was included in the reconciliation, representing the difference between the fair value and
the par value of ThaiLin stock.l.
    
    Earnings per share (EPS)In calculating the weighted average number of shares outstanding for EPS
purposes under ROC GAAP, employee bonus shares have been treated as outstanding for
all periods in a manner similar to a stock split or stock dividend. Under U.S. GAAP,
employee bonus shares have been considered separately from the stock dividend or split
and have been treated as outstanding from the date of shareholder approval.m.
    
    Interest capitalizationUnder ROC GAAP, interests on borrowings during construction conceptually should be
capitalized in the assets that are constructed or produced for a companys own use.
However, if equity capital is raised during a year, no capitalization interest is
recorded for the amount of property acquired up to the equity capital raised in that
year. UnderU.S. GAAP, SFAS No. 34 Capitalization of Interest Cost, interest is generally
capitalized on assets until they are available and ready for use.n.
    
    Goodwill and negative goodwillPrior to January 1, 2006 under ROC GAAP, goodwill arises as the difference between
acquisition cost and the equity of the subsidiary and is amortized using a systematic
method, whereas under U.S. GAAP such goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to
impairment tests.
 F-124

##### Table of Contents



Negative goodwill arises when the fair values of the net assets acquired exceed the
purchase price. Under ROC GAAP, negative goodwill is amortized over a five-year period
whereas under U.S. GAAP, that negative goodwill is firstly allocated pro rata reduce
amounts assigned to acquired assets. If negative goodwill still remains, it is
recognized as extraordinary gain in the period in which the business combination is
initially recognized. The negative goodwill of NT$20,275 thousand arising from the
merger of CHANTEK into ChipMOS Taiwan was credited to property, plant and equipment
under U.S. GAAP.There is no difference between ROC GAAP and U.S. GAAP since January 1, 2006.o.
    
    Pension expensesROC SFAS No. 18, which is similar in many respects to SFAS No. 87 and SFAS No.
88, was effective in 1996. However, the treatment of certain expenses that comply
with ROC SFAS No. 18 is different from SFAS No. 87 and SFAS No. 88.The company adopted SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (SFAS No. 158) effective December 31, 2006.
SFAS No. 158 requires an employer that sponsors one or more defined benefit pension
plans or other postretirement plans to recognize the funded status of a plan, measured
as the difference between plan assets at fair value and the benefit obligation in the
balance sheet and recognize in shareholders equity as a component of accumulated
other comprehensive loss, net of tax, the gains or losses and prior service costs or
credits that arise during the period but are not yet recognized as components of net
periodic benefit cost as of the balance sheet date.The adoption of SFAS No. 158 resulted in a decrease in total shareholders equity
of NT$63,395 thousand (US$1,945 thousand) as of December 31, 2006.p.
    
    Allowance for loss and scrap loss on inventoriesROC GAAP does not specify the classification of allowance for loss on
inventories, therefore the recovery of allowance for loss on inventories of NT$67,002
thousand and NT$74,581 thousand for 2004 and 2005 has been classified under
non-operating income. Under U.S. GAAP, the allowance for loss on inventories should
be classified in the income statement as a component of cost of revenue.ROC GAAP does not specify the classification of scrap loss on inventories;
therefore, in 2006, NT$75,602 thousand has been classified under non-operating
expense. Under U.S. GAAP, the scrap of inventories should be classified in the income
statement as a component of cost of revenue.

employer that sponsors one or more defined benefit pension plans or other postretirement
plans to 1) recognize the funded status of a plan, measured as the difference between plan
assets at fair value and the benefit obligation, in the balance sheet; 2) recognize in
shareholders equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, the
gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the period but are not
yet recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost; 3) measure defined benefit plan
assets and obligations as of the date of the employers fiscal year-end balance sheet; and 4)
disclose in the notes to the financial statements additional information about the effects on
net periodic benefit cost for the next fiscal year that arise from delayed recognition of the
gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, and transition asset or obligation.The FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments (SFAS
No. 155) in February 2006. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, and SFAS No. 140 Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities and addresses the application of SFAS
No. 133 to beneficial interests in securitized financial assets. SFAS No. 155 establishes a
requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that
are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an
embedded derivative requiring bifurcation. Additionally, SFAS No. 155 permits fair value
measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that
otherwise would require bifurcation. SFAS No. 155 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after September 15, 2006. The Company is currently assessing the impact SFAS No. 155 will
have on the consolidated financial statements but do not anticipate it will be material.The FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets an amendment of
FASB Statement No. 140 (SFAS No. 156) in March 2006. SFAS No. 156 requires a company to
recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to
service a financial asset. A company would recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability
initially at fair value. A company

will then be permitted to choose to subsequently recognize servicing assets and liabilities
using the amortization method or fair value measurement method. SFAS No. 156 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The Company is currently assessing
the impact SFAS No. 156 will have on the consolidated financial statements but do not
anticipate it will be material.On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty
in Income Taxes-an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN No. 48). FIN No. 48
clarifies what criteria must be met prior to recognition of the financial statement benefit
of a position taken in an income tax return. FIN No. 48 will require companies to include
additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures within their financial statements. The
disclosures will include potential tax benefits from positions taken for tax return
purposes that have not been recognized for financial reporting purposes and a tabular
presentation of significant changes during each period. The disclosures will also include a
discussion of the nature of uncertainties, factors that could cause a change, and an
estimated range of reasonably possible changes in tax uncertainties. FIN No. 48 will also
require a company to recognize a financial statement benefit for a position taken for tax
return purposes when it will be more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained.
FIN No. 48 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The
Company is currently assessing the impact FIN No. 48 will have on the consolidated
financial statements but do not anticipate it will be material.On September 15, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No.
157). SFAS No. 157 addresses how companies should measure fair value when they are
required to use a fair value measure for recognition and disclosure purposes under
generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS No. 157 will require the fair value of an
asset or liability to be based on a market based measure, which will reflect the credit
risk of the company. SFAS No. 157 will also require expanded disclosure requirements, which
will include the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value and the effect of fair
value measures on earnings. SFAS No. 157 will be applied prospectively and will be
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and to interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact SFAS No. 157 will have on
the consolidated financial statements.In September 2006, the U.S. SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108,
Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in
Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108). SAB 108 was issued to provide interpretive
guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should
be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. The Company adopted the
provisions of SAB 108 effective December 31, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have an
impact on the consolidated financial statements.b.
