INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REVIEW REPORT


The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) as of March 31, 2010 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three months then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to issue a report on these consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with Statement of Auditing Standards No. 36, “Review of Financial Statements” issued by the Accounting Research and Development Foundation (“ARDF”) of the Republic of China.  A review consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of officers responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, the objective of which is to express an opinion regarding the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements of the Company referred to above for them to be in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, relevant requirements promulgated by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Executive Yuan, and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.

Our reviews also comprehended the translation of New Taiwan dollar amounts into U.S. dollar amounts and such translation has been made in conformity with the basis stated in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.  Such U.S. dollar amounts are presented solely for the convenience of the readers.

Notice to Readers

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are intended only to present the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdictions.  The standards, procedures and practices to review such consolidated financial statements are those generally accepted and applied in the Republic of China.

For the convenience of readers, the accountants’ review report and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China.  If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language accountants’ review report and consolidated financial statements shall prevail.

USI Acquisition

In February 2010, in order to enhance the technical and business cooperation relationship, the Company had launched a cash and stock tender offer to buy the additional outstanding common shares of USI not owned by the Company at a fixed price of NT$21 per share, which was comprised of a fixed 0.34 share of ASE Inc.’s common shares owned by the subsidiaries, J&R Holding and ASE Test, and a cash consideration

determined pursuant to the formula (equivalent to NT$21 less 0.34 multiplied by the lowest of the average closing price of ASE Inc.’s common shares for the last one, three and five trading days prior to the last day of the tender offer period).  The total consideration was NT$13,475,056 thousand of which 218,167 thousand shares of ASE Inc. were delivered by the subsidiaries.  In addition, ASE Inc. continued to acquire additional outstanding common shares of USI not owned by the Company with a total consideration of NT$4,667,117 thousand in August 2010.  Afterwards, USI repurchased its treasury stock and as a result, the shareholdings in USI held by the Company were increased to 99.2% as of March 31, 2011.

EEMS Test Singapore Pte. Ltd. Acquisition

The Company, through ASE Singapore, acquired 100% shareholdings of EEMS Test Singapore Pte. Ltd. (EEMS Test Singapore Pte. Ltd. was renamed to ASE Singapore Pte. Ltd. II) from its parent company, EEMS Asia Pte. Ltd., in August 2010 with a total consideration of US$ 72,163 thousand.  ASE Singapore Pte. Ltd. II was subsequently merged into ASE Singapore on January 1, 2011.

The abovementioned acquisitions were accounted for as a purchase as prescribed by ROC Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 25 Business Combination-Accounting Treatment under Purchase Method”.

Current and Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities

Current assets include cash and cash equivalents, and those assets held primarily for trading purposes or to be realized, sold or consumed within twelve months from the balance sheet date.  Current liabilities are obligations incurred for trading purposes or to be settled within twelve months from the balance sheet date.  Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are noncurrent assets and liabilities, respectively.

Because the Company’s real estate business has an operating cycle greater than one year, its classification of current or noncurrent assets and liabilities related to the real estate business is based on its operating cycle.

Cash Equivalents

Repurchase agreements collateralized by government bonds with maturities of less than three months from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents.

Financial Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value through Profit or Loss

Financial instruments classified as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) include financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading.  The Company recognizes a financial asset or financial liability on its balance sheet when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.  A financial asset is derecognized when the Company has lost control of its contractual rights over the financial asset.  A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.

Financial instruments at FVTPL are initially measured at fair value.  Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets at FVTPL are recognized immediately in profit or loss.  At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are remeasured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized directly in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.  Cash dividends received subsequently (including those received in the period of investment) are recognized as income for the period.  On derecognition of a financial asset or a financial liability, the difference between its carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable or consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss.  A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized and derecognized on a settlement date basis.
 
 
-12-

 

A derivative that does not qualify for hedge accounting is classified as a financial asset or a financial liability held for trading.  If the fair value of the derivative is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; otherwise, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.

Fair value is determined as follows:  Open-end mutual funds - the net asset value; publicly traded stocks - the closing-price at the balance sheet date; bonds and other financial instruments with no quoted price in an active market - using valuation techniques.

Available-for-sale Financial Assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition.  Changes in fair value of financial assets are reported in a separate component of shareholders’ equity.  The corresponding accumulated gains or losses are recognized in earnings when the financial asset is derecognized from the balance sheet.  A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized and derecognized on a settlement date basis.

The recognition, derecognition and the basis for fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are the same with those of financial assets at FVTPL.

Cash dividends are recognized on the ex-dividend date.  Stock dividends are not recognized as investment income but are recorded as an increase in the number of shares.  The total number of shares subsequent to the increase is used for recalculation of cost per share.

If certain objective evidence indicates that an available-for-sale financial asset is impaired, a loss is recognized currently; if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases, for equity securities, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed to the extent of the decrease and recorded as an adjustment to shareholders’ equity; for debt securities, the amount of the decrease is recognized in earnings, provided that the decrease is clearly attributable to an event which occurred after the impairment loss was recognized.

Revenue Recognition, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Allowance for Sales Discounts

Revenues from semiconductor packaging and testing services are recognized upon completion of the services or shipment.  Revenue from electronic manufacturing services is recognized when the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods, primarily upon shipment.  The amounts received in advance of real estate property are first recorded as advance receipts and then recognized as revenue when the construction is completed and the title and significant risk of the real estate property are transferred to customers.  Revenue from others is recognized upon completion of the services or delivery of goods because the earnings process has been completed and the economic benefits associated with the transaction have been realized or are realizable.

Revenues are determined using the fair value taking into account related sales discounts agreed by the Company and customers.  Since the receivables from sales are collectible within one year and such transactions are frequent, the fair value of receivables is equivalent to the nominal amount of cash received or receivable.

As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted the newly revised SFAS No. 34, “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” (“SFAS No. 34”).  Accounts receivable are assessed for impairment at the end of each reporting period. The Company first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for accounts receivable, then includes in a group basis with historical collective experience and similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment.

The carrying amount of the accounts receivable is reduced through the use of an allowance account. The amount of the impairment loss recognized is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the receivable’s original effective interest rate.

Inventories and Inventories Related to Construction Business

Inventories, including raw materials (materials received from customers for processing, mainly semiconductor wafers, are excluded from inventories as title and risk of loss remain with the customers), supplies, work in process, finished goods, and materials and supplies in transit, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.  Inventory write-downs are made on an item by item basis.  Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs to complete production and selling expenses necessary to make the sale.  Raw materials and supplies are recorded at moving average cost; work in process and finished goods are recorded at standard cost and adjusted to the approximate weighted average cost at the balance sheet date.

Inventory for property development business includes buildings and land held for sale and construction in progress.  Prior to the completion, borrowing costs directly attributable to construction in progress are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset.  Construction in progress is transferred to buildings and land held for sale upon completion of the construction.  Construction in progress and buildings and land held for sale are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and related write-downs are made on an item by item basis.  The amounts received in advance of real estate property are first recorded as advance receipts and then recognized as revenue when the construction is completed and the title and significant risk of the real estate property are transferred to customers.  Cost of sales of buildings and land held for sale are recognized based on the ratio of property sold to the total property developed.

Bond Investments with No Active Market

Bond investments with fixed or determinable payments and with no quoted prices in an active market are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.  Those financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition.  Gains or losses are recognized when the financial assets are derecognized, impaired or amortized.

If certain objective evidence indicates that a bond investment with no active market is impaired, a loss is recognized currently.  If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease is clearly attributable to an event which occurred after the impairment loss was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed to the extent of the decrease.  The reversal may not result in a carrying amount that exceeds the amortized cost that would have been determined as if no impairment loss had been recognized.

Financial Assets Carried at Cost

Investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are carried at their original cost.  The accounting for dividends on financial assets carried at cost is the same with that for dividends on available-for-sale financial assets.  If certain objective evidence indicates that such a financial asset is impaired, a loss is recognized currently.  A subsequent reversal of such impairment loss is not allowed.

Equity Method Investments

Investments in companies of which the Company owns at least 20% but less than 50% of the outstanding voting shares or where the Company exercises significant influence over the investee companies’ operating and financial policy decisions are accounted for using the equity method.  The acquisition cost is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the date of acquisition, and the excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, representing goodwill, shall not be amortized.

When the Company subscribes for additional investees’ shares at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment in the investees differs from the amount of the Company’s share in the investee’s net equity.  The Company records such a difference as an
 
 
-14-

 
 
adjustment to equity method investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus.  When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus, but the capital surplus arising from long-term investment is insufficient, the difference is debited to retained earnings.
 
Gains or losses from downstream or upstream transactions with equity method investees are eliminated in proportion to the Company’s percentage of ownership in the investee.

Property, Plant and Equipment and Idle Assets

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment.  Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of property, plant and equipment are capitalized as part of the cost of those assets.  Major additions and improvements to property, plant and equipment are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

Assets held under capital leases are initially recognized as assets of the Company at the lower of their fair value at the inception of the lease or the present value of the minimum lease payments; the corresponding liability is included in the balance sheet as capital lease obligations.  The interest included in lease payments is expensed when paid.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated service lives, which range as follows:  buildings and improvements, 2 to 60 years; machinery and equipment, 2 to 10 years; transportation equipment, 2 to 10 years; furniture and fixtures, 2 to 10 years; and leased assets and leasehold improvements, 3 to 6 years.

Idle assets are stated at the lower of fair value or carrying amount.  The carrying amount in excess of the fair value is recognized as an impairment loss.  The remaining book value is depreciated using the straight-line method.

When property, plant and equipment and idle assets are retired or disposed of, their cost, accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is credited or charged to non-operating income or losses.

Intangible Assets

Patents and land use rights purchased are initially recorded at cost.  Land use rights, patents, acquired special technology, customer relationships and other intangible assets arising from business acquisitions are initially recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition.

Intangible assets are amortized based on the pattern in which the economic benefits are consumed or using the straight-line method over the estimated service lives, which range as follows:  land use rights, 50 to 60 years; others, 3 to 20 years.

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid for an acquisition over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired.  Effective January 1, 2006, goodwill is no longer amortized and instead is tested for impairment annually.

Asset Impairment

The Company evaluates whether or not there are indications that assets (primarily property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, assets leased to others and equity method investments) may be impaired as of the balance sheet date.  If there are indications, the Company estimates the recoverable amount for the asset.  If an asset’s recoverable amount is lower than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount by recording an impairment loss.  When the recoverable amount subsequently increases, the impairment loss previously recognized is reversed and recorded as a gain.  However, the carrying amount of an asset (other than goodwill) after the reversal of the impairment loss should not exceed the carrying amount of the asset that would have been determined, net of depreciation or
 
 
-15-

 
 
amortization, as if no impairment loss had been recognized.

Deferred Charges

Deferred charges mainly consist of tools and computer systems software.  Amortization of deferred charge is computed on a straight-line basis over 2 to 5 years.

Stock-based Compensation

Employee stock options granted on or after January 1, 2008 are accounted for under ROC SFAS No. 39, “Accounting for Share-based Payment.”  Under the statement, the value of the stock options granted, which is equal to the best available estimate of the number of stock options expected to vest multiplied by the grant-date fair value, is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to capital surplus - employee stock options.  The estimate is revised if subsequent information indicates that the number of stock options expected to vest differs from previous estimates.

Employee stock options granted on or before December 31, 2007 were accounted for under the interpretations issued by the ROC ARDF.  The Company adopted the intrinsic value method under which compensation cost was recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Pension Cost

Pension cost under defined benefit plans are determined by actuarial valuations.  Contributions made under defined contribution plans are recognized as pension cost during the period in which employees render services.

Curtailment or settlement gains or losses of the defined benefit plans are recognized as part of the net pension cost for the period.

Treasury Stock

Treasury stock is stated at cost and shown as a deduction in shareholders’ equity.  When ASE Inc. retires treasury stock, the treasury stock account is reduced and the common stock as well as the capital surplus - capital in excess of par value are reversed on a pro rata basis.  When the book value of the treasury stock exceeds the sum of the par value and capital surplus - capital in excess of par value, the difference is charged to capital surplus - treasury stock transactions and to retained earnings for any remaining amount.  When treasury stock is disposed of, the book value of the treasury stock is removed from the accounts.  When the selling price of the treasury stock exceeds the book value of the treasury stock, the difference is credited to capital surplus - treasury stock transactions.

ASE Inc.’s shares held by its subsidiaries are accounted for as treasury stock and, accordingly, the cost of such shares is reclassified from equity method investments to treasury stock.  Cash dividends received by subsidiaries from ASE Inc. are recorded as capital surplus - treasury stock transactions.

Income Taxes

The Company applies intra-period and inter-period allocations to its income tax, whereby deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for (1) the items adjusted directly in shareholders’ equity and (2) the tax effects of temporary differences, loss carryforwards and unused tax credits.  Valuation allowances are provided to the extent, if any, that it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be realized.  A deferred tax asset or liability is classified as current or noncurrent in accordance with the classification of its related asset or liability.  However, if a deferred tax asset or liability does not relate to an asset or liability in the financial statements, then it is classified as either current or noncurrent based on the expected length of time before it is realized or settled.
 
 
-16-

 

The taxable temporary differences between the book value and tax basis of equity method investments in foreign subsidiaries are not recognized as deferred income tax liabilities since the Company could control the timing of reversal of the temporary differences and would not reverse them in the foreseeable future and will, in effect, exist indefinitely.

Any tax credits arising from purchases of machinery, equipment and technology and research and development expenditures are recognized using the flow-through method.

Adjustments of prior years’ income tax are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.

Income tax on undistributed earnings is recorded by ASE Inc. and subsidiaries under jurisdiction of ROC at the rate of 10% and is recorded as an expense in the year shareholders resolve the distribution of earnings.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation of Foreign-currency Financial Statements

Non-derivative foreign currency transactions are recorded in local currencies at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occur.  Exchange differences arising from settlement of foreign-currency assets and liabilities are recognized in profit or loss.

At the balance sheet date, foreign-currency monetary assets and liabilities are revalued using prevailing exchange rates and the exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.

At the balance sheet date, foreign-currency nonmonetary assets (such as equity instruments) and liabilities that are measured at fair value are revalued using prevailing exchange rates.  When a gain or loss on a nonmonetary item is recognized in shareholders’ equity, any exchange component of that gain or loss shall be recognized in shareholders’ equity.  Conversely, when a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in earnings, any exchange component of that gain or loss shall be recognized in earnings.  Foreign-currency nonmonetary assets and liabilities that are carried at cost continue to be stated at exchange rates at trade dates.

The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the following exchange rates:  Assets and liabilities - spot rates at the balance sheet date; shareholders’ equity - historical rates; income and expenses - average rates during the period.  The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

Hedging Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivatives that qualify as effective hedging instruments are measured at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss, or in shareholders’ equity, depending on the nature of the hedging relationship.

Hedge accounting recognizes the offsetting effects on profit or loss of changes in the fair values of the hedging instrument and the hedged item as follows:

 
a.
Fair value hedge

The gain or loss from remeasuring the hedging instrument at fair value and the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in profit or loss.

 
b.
Cash flow hedge

The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognized in shareholders’ equity.  The amount recognized in shareholders’ equity is recognized in profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction or an asset or liability arising from the hedged forecasted transaction affects profit or loss.  However, if all or a portion of a loss recognized in shareholders’ equity is not expected to be recovered in the future, the
 
 
-17-

 
 
amount that is not expected to be recovered is reclassified into profit or loss.

U.S. Dollar Amounts

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in New Taiwan dollars.  A translation of the consolidated financial statements into U.S. dollars is included solely for the convenience of the reader, and has been translated from New Taiwan dollars at the exchange rate as set forth in the statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board, which was NT$29.40 to US$1.00 as of March 31, 2011.  The translation should not be construed as a representation that the New Taiwan dollar amounts have been, could have been, or could in the future be, converted into U.S. dollars at this or any other rate of exchange.

Reclassifications

Certain accounts in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2010 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2011.


 3.
ACCOUNTING CHANGE

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments

From January 1, 2011, the Company adopted the newly revised SFAS No. 34.  The main revisions require that loans and receivables originated by the Company are now covered by SFAS No. 34.  This accounting change did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Operating Segments

From January 1, 2011, the Company adopted the newly issued SFAS No. 41, “Operating Segments” (“SFAS No. 41”).  The statement requires that segment information be disclosed based on the information regarding the components of the Company that management uses to make decisions regarding operating matters.  SFAS No. 41 requires identification of operating segments on the basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segments and assess their performance.  This statement supersedes SFAS No. 20, “Segment Reporting”.  The Company conformed to the disclosure requirements as of and for the period ended March 31, 2011.  The information for the period ended March 31, 2010 has been recast to reflect the new segment reporting requirement.

The shares of Advanced Microelectronic Products, Inc. held by the Company are private-placement shares, on which there is a legally enforceable restriction that prevents their trading for a specified period.  As of March 31, 2010, the Company could not reliably measure fair value of the shares, so they were measured at cost.  Subsequently, the Company could reliably measure the effects of restriction, which were consistent with those of other market participants, so the abovementioned shares previously classified as financial assets carried at cost were transferred to available-for-sale financial assets - noncurrent, resulting in an unrealized loss of NT$33,971 thousand (US$1,155 thousand) for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock

The Company reserved common stock of NT$8,000,000 thousand, representing 800,000 thousand shares, for employee stock option plans.  For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011, employees exercised options and paid NT$96,246 thousand (6,699 thousand shares) and NT$430,229 thousand (US$14,634 thousand) (20,361 thousand shares), of which NT$102,648 thousand (7,070 thousand shares) and NT$447,236 thousand (US$15,212 thousand) (21,132 thousand shares) were recorded as “capital received in advance” as of March 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively.  Employees exercised options and paid NT$403,158 thousand for 21,864 thousand shares from April 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010.

In addition, the shareholders’ meetings held in June 2010 resolved to distribute stock dividends out of capital surplus and retained earnings in the amount of NT$5,494,970 thousand (549,497 thousand shares).  The Company made a capital reduction in the amount of NT$370,000 thousand (US$12,585 thousand) for 37,000 thousand shares through the retirement of treasury stock in January 2011.  The Company has completed the registration formalities for all the above-mentioned increases and reductions of capital.

American Depositary Shares

ASE Inc. issued ADS and each ADS represents five common shares.  As of March 31, 2010 and 2011, 48,727 thousand and 71,944 thousand ADS were outstanding and represented approximately 243,634 thousand and 359,720 thousand common shares of ASE Inc., respectively.

Capital Surplus

Under the ROC Company Law, capital surplus from paid-in capital in excess of par value, treasury stock transactions and reversed interest of convertible bonds may be transferred to capital, subject to a limit equal to a specific percentage of paid-in capital.

Capital surplus from equity method investments may not be used for any purpose.

Appropriation of Retained Earnings

The Articles of Incorporation of ASE Inc. provide that the annual net income shall be distributed in the following order:

 
a.
Replenishment of losses;

 
b.
10.0% as legal reserve;

 
c.
Special reserve in accordance with laws or regulations set forth by the authorities concerned;

 
d.
An amount equal to the excess of the income from equity method investments over cash dividends as special reserve;

 
e.
Not more than 2.0% of the remainder from a. to d. as compensation to directors and supervisors;

 
f.
Between 7.0% to 10.0% of the remainder from a. to d. as a bonus to employees, of which 7.0% shall be distributed in accordance with the employee bonus plan and the excess shall be distributed to specific employees as decided by the board of directors; and

 
g.
The remainder from a. to f. as dividends to shareholders.
 
 
- 28 -

 
 
Employees referred to in f. above include employees of subsidiary companies that meet certain conditions, which are to be prescribed by the board of directors.

The Company is currently in the business stability stage.  To meet the capital needs for business development now and in the future and satisfy the requirements of shareholders for cash inflow, the Company shall use residual dividend policy to distribute dividends, of which the cash dividend distribution rate is not lower than 30% of the total dividend amount, with the remainder to be distributed as stock dividends.  A distribution plan is also to be made by the board of directors and passed by resolution of the shareholders’ meeting.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011, the bonus to employees of ASE Inc. was NT$305,391 thousand and NT$365,116 thousand (US$12,419 thousand), respectively, and the compensation to directors and supervisors of ASE Inc. was NT$61,078 thousand and NT$73,023 thousand (US$2,484 thousand), respectively.  The bonus to employees and compensation to directors and supervisors represented 10% and 2%, respectively, of net income (net of the bonus and compensation).  Significant differences between such estimated amounts and the amounts proposed by the board of directors in the following year are adjusted in the current year.  If the actual amounts subsequently resolved by the shareholders differ from the proposed amounts, the differences are recorded in the year of shareholders’ resolution as a change in accounting estimate.  If a share bonus is resolved to be distributed to employees, the number of shares is determined by dividing the amount of the share bonus by the closing price (after considering the effect of cash and stock dividends) of the shares of the day immediately preceding the shareholders’ meeting.

Based on a directive issued by the Securities and Futures Bureau, an amount equal to the net debit balance of certain shareholders’ equity accounts (including unrealized loss on financial instruments, net loss not recognized as pension cost and cumulative transaction adjustments) shall be transferred from unappropriated earnings to a special reserve.  In addition, the excess of book value over market value of treasury shares held by subsidiaries shall also be transferred from unappropriated earnings to a special reserve based on the proportion owned by ASE Inc.  Any special reserve appropriated may be reversed to the extent of the decrease in the net debit balance.

Under the ROC Company Law, the appropriation for legal reserve shall be made until the reserve reaches the paid-in capital.  The reserve may be used to offset a deficit, or be distributed as dividends and bonuses for the portion in excess of 50% of paid-in capital if the Company has no unappropriated earnings and the reserve balance has exceeded 50% of paid-in capital.  Also, when the reserve has reached 50% of paid-in capital, up to 50% thereof may be transferred to capital stock if the Company doesn’t have a deficit.

The appropriation of 2009 earnings resolved at the Company’s annual shareholders’ meetings in June 2010 and the appropriation of 2010 earnings proposed by the Company’s directors in March 2011 and to be resolved by the Company’s annual shareholders’ meeting is as follows:

The differences between the approved amounts of the bonus to employees and compensation to directors and supervisors and the accrual amounts reflected in the consolidated financial statements for both years were primarily due to changes in estimates.  The differences of NT$1,402 thousand and NT$427 thousand (US$15 thousand) had been adjusted in earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

Information regarding the appropriations of earnings, bonus to employees and compensation to directors and supervisors is available on the Market Observation Post System website of the TSE.

Expected volatility of ASE Inc. and USIE is based on the historical stock price volatility over the past 10 years of ASE Inc. and comparable peer group companies, respectively.  To allow for the effects of early exercise, ASE Inc. and USIE assumed that employees would exercise the options after vesting date when the stock price was 1.58 times the exercise price.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, termination of employment resulted in forfeiture of stock options of ASE Inc. and USIE granted during the year ended December 31, 2010 were 987 thousand units and 0 unit, respectively.  As of March 31, 2011, the estimated percentage of forfeiture due to termination of employment over the remaining vesting period of ASE Inc. and USIE was 4.0% and 2.0%, respectively.

Compensation cost recognized by the Company for the options granted after January 1, 2008 was nil and NT$117,578 thousand (US$3,999 thousand) for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

Had the Company used the fair value based method to evaluate the options granted on or before December 31, 2007, the pro forma information of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011 would have been as follows:

The ROC ARDF issued Interpretation 96-052 that requires companies to recognize bonuses paid to employees, directors and supervisors as compensation expenses.  These bonuses were previously recorded as appropriations from earnings.  If the Company may settle the bonus to employees by cash or shares, the Company should presume that the entire amount of the bonus will be settled in shares and the resulting potential shares should be included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted EPS, if the shares have a dilutive effect.  The number of shares is estimated by dividing the entire amount of the bonus by the closing price (after consideration of the dilutive effect of dividends) of the shares at the balance sheet date.  Such dilutive effect of the potential shares needs to be included in the calculation of diluted EPS until the shareholders resolves the number of shares to be distributed to employees at their meeting in the following year.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding for EPS calculation has been retroactively adjusted for the issuance of stock dividends and common stock issued from capital surplus.  This adjustment caused the basic after income tax EPS and diluted after income tax EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to decrease from NT$0.64 to NT$0.58 and from NT$0.63 to NT$0.57, respectively.

b.
Methods and assumptions used in the estimation of fair values of financial instruments were as follows:

 
1)
The aforementioned financial instruments do not include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, short-term borrowings, accounts payable, accrued expenses and payable for properties.  Due to their short term nature, these financial instruments’ carrying amounts approximate their fair values.

 
2)
Fair values of financial assets at FVTPL and available-for-sale financial assets were determined using their quoted market prices in an active market.  Fair values of financial notes, structured deposits, private-placement shares, and derivatives were determined using valuation techniques incorporating estimates and assumptions which are similar with those generally used by other market participants to price financial instruments.

 
3)
Financial assets carried at cost and bonds investments with no active market have no quoted prices in an active market and entail an unreasonably high cost to obtain verifiable fair values.  Therefore, no fair value is presented.

 
4)
The carrying amounts of guarantee deposits and restricted assets reflect their fair values due to their short term nature.

 
5)
The interest rates of long-term liabilities were mainly floating and their fair values, therefore, approximate carrying amounts.

 
c.
Valuation gains from changes in fair value of financial instruments determined using valuation techniques were NT$77,322 thousand and NT$180,728 thousand (US$6,147 thousand) for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively.
 
 
- 38 -

 

 
 
d.
As of March 31, 2010 and 2011, financial assets exposed to fair value interest rate risk amounted to NT$154,851 thousand and NT$119,219 thousand (US$4,055 thousand), respectively, financial liabilities exposed to fair value interest rate risk amounted to NT$52,480 thousand and NT$4,125 thousand (US$140 thousand), respectively, financial assets exposed to cash flow interest rate risk amounted to NT$31,284,739 thousand and NT$21,772,294 thousand (US$740,554 thousand), respectively, and financial liabilities exposed to cash flow interest rate risk amounted to NT$74,498,103 thousand and NT$71,359,128 thousand (US$2,427,181 thousand), respectively.

 
e.
For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011, interest income of NT$53,492 thousand and NT$74,795 thousand (US$2,544 thousand), and interest expense (including capitalized interest) of NT$416,063 thousand and NT$399,074 thousand (US$13,574 thousand) were associated with financial assets or liabilities other than those at FVTPL.

 
f.
Strategy for financial risk

The derivative instruments employed by the Company are to mitigate risks arising from ordinary business operation.  All derivative transactions entered into by the Company are designated as either hedging or trading, which are governed by separate internal guidelines and controls.  Derivative transactions entered into for hedging purposes must hedge risk against fluctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates arising from operating activities.  The currency and the amount of derivative instruments held by the Company must match its assets and liabilities.

 
g.
Information regarding financial risk

 
1)
Market risk

All derivative financial instruments are mainly held to hedge the exchange rate fluctuations of foreign-currency-denominated assets and liabilities and interest rate fluctuations on its floating rate long-term loans.  Exchange gains or losses on these derivative contracts are likely to be offset by gains or losses on the hedged assets and liabilities.  Interest rate risks are also controlled because the expected cost of capital is fixed.  Thus, market risk for derivative contracts is believed to be immaterial.

The Company holds open-end mutual funds, stocks and financial bonds which are subject to market risk.  The fair value of these investments will decrease by NT$15,000 thousand (US$510 thousand) if their market price decreases by 1%.

 
2)
Credit risk

Credit risk represents the potential loss that would be incurred by the Company if counter-parties or third parties breached contracts.  Credit risk represents the positive fair values of contracts as of the balance sheet date.  The counter-parties to the foregoing financial instruments are reputable financial institutions and business organizations.  Management does not expect the Company’s exposure to default by those parties to be material.

 
3)
Liquidity risk

The Company’s operating funds and credit line are deemed sufficient to meet cash flow demand; therefore, the Company’s liquidity risk is not considered to be significant.

The Company’s investments in open-end mutual funds and financial bonds are traded in active markets and can be disposed of quickly at close to their fair values.  The Company’s bond investments with no active market and financial assets carried at cost have no active markets; therefore, liquidity risk for such assets is expected to be high.
 
 
- 39 -

 

 
 
4)
Cash flow interest rate risk

The Company’s loans are mainly floating interest rate debts.  When the market interest rate increases by 1%, the Company’s annual cash outflows will increase by NT$643,000 thousand (US$21,871 thousand).

 
h.
Fair value hedge and cash flow hedge
 
The Company entered into interest rate swap contracts and cross currency swap contracts to hedge exposures from fluctuations in both foreign exchange and interest rates arising from its long-term bank loans and its receivables from affiliates.

 
1)
The fair value of the outstanding interest rate swap contracts as of March 31, 2010 and 2011 was a loss of NT$285,992 thousand and NT$141,039 thousand (US$4,797 thousand), respectively.  The outstanding interest rate swap contracts of the Company as of March 31, 2010 and 2011 were as follows:
