FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
WITH
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2006
AND
FOR THE YEAR THEN ENDED
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Advanced Chip Engineering Technology Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Advanced Chip Engineering Technology Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2006, and the related statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Advanced Chip Engineering Technology Inc., as of December 31, 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with the "Business Entity Accounting Law" and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.
As more fully described in Note 10, the Company restated its financial statements.
The "Business Entity Accounting Law" and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. A narrative discussion of the significant differences is presented in Note 11 to the financial statements.

1. History
ADVANCED CHIP ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY INC. (the "Company") was incorporated under the Company Law of the Republic of China in May 2000. The Company's major business activity is to engage in the business of testing and assembling service, manufacturing and selling integrated circuit. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company's employees totaled 296 and 225, respectively.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Company's financial statements were prepared in accordance with the "Business Entity Accounting Law" and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China (R.O.C.). Those significant accounting policies are summarized as follows:
- •
- Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and are due in the near future, where fluctuations in the investment's interest rate have insignificant impact on its value. Common examples of cash equivalents are commercial papers, treasury bills, and bank acceptances with maturities of three months or less from the original acquisition date.
- •
- Foreign Currency Transactions
The Company maintains its accounting records in New Taiwan dollars ("NT Dollars" or "NT$"). Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in New Taiwan dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the dates of transactions. Financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into NT Dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Foreign exchange gains or losses are included in other income or losses.
- •
- Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
The Company recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability on its balance sheet when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets are recognized using either trade date accounting on equity instruments or settlement date accounting on debt securities, beneficiary certificates or derivative instruments. Financial assets and financial liabilities are derecognized in accordance with R.O.C. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.33, "Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Financial Liabilities."
- •
- Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on the collectibility and aging analysis of notes and accounts receivable and other receivables.
- •
- Inventories
Inventories are recorded at cost when acquired and stated at the lower of aggregate cost, based on the weighted average method, or market value at the balance sheet date. The market value of raw materials and supplies is determined on the basis of replacement cost while work in process and finished goods are determined on the basis of net realizable value. The allowance for loss on decline in market value and obsolescence is provided, when necessary. The allowance for loss can be reversed in a subsequent period if evidence indicates that such loss no longer exists.
9
- •
- Property, Plant and Equipment, and Leased Assets
- (1)
- Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings and facilities | | 50 years |
Machinery and equipment | | 5 to 10 years |
Transportation equipment | | 2 to 5 years |
Office furniture | | 2 to 5 years |
Other equipment | | 3 to 5 years |
Leased assets | | 3 to 50 years |
Lease contracts not qualified as capital leases are classified as operating leases.
Rent revenue received from operating leases is recognized as non-operating income.
- •
- Deferred Assets and intangible Assets
Deferred assets and intangible assets are originally recorded at cost and amortized over their estimated useful lives, usually 3 to 20 years, based on the straight-line method. For impairment policy of deferred assets and intangible assets please refer toAsset Impairment below.
10
- •
- Asset Impairment
On January 1, 2005, the Company adopted the R.O.C. SFAS No. 35 "Accounting for Asset impairment". SFAS No. 35 requires that assets within the scope of the Standard other than goodwill (which is tested annually) shall be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. Unrecoverable losses shall be recognized as a charge through the statement of income. Recognized losses on goodwill impairment shall not be reversed subsequently. However, impairment on non-goodwill assets may be recoverable if the Company assesses at the balance sheet date any indication that the impairment loss no longer exists or may have diminished. The recovery gain may not exceed the asset's original value less associated depreciation or amortization.
- •
- Revenue Recognition
According to R.O.C. SFAS No.32, "Accounting for Revenue Recognition," the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product or service has been delivered, the seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Allowance for sales returns and discounts are estimated taking into consideration customer complaints and historical experiences. Such allowances are recorded in the same period in which sales are made. Shipping and handling costs are included in sales expenses.
- •
- Capital Expenditures vs. Expenses
If expenditures increase service potential of plant assets, the expenditures are capitalized, while other expenditures are expensed as incurred.
- •
- Pension Plan
In accordance with the Labor Standards Law (the "Law") of the R.O.C., the Company maintains a defined benefit pension plan for certain employees. The Company debits its pension expense based on a monthly contribution equal to certain percentage of the wages and salaries paid during the period. The monthly contribution is paid to a pension fund administered by the Employees' Retirement Fund. The fund is deposited in the pension fund committee's nam
The Labor Pension Act (the "Act"), which provides for a new defined contribution plan, took effect on July 1, 2005. Employees already covered by the Law can choose to remain in the defined benefit pension plan under the Law or to be subject to the defined contribution plan under the Act. Under the Act, the rate of an employer's monthly contribution to the pension fund should be at least 6% of the employee's monthly wages, and the Company records this contribution as a pension expense when incurred.
- •
- Income Tax
In accordance with the R.O.C. SFAS No. 22 "Accounting for Income Taxes", income taxes are accounted for under the inter-period and intra-period income tax allocation method. Provision for income taxes includes deferred taxes resulting from temporary differences and investment tax credits. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowance on deferred tax assets is provided to the extent that it is more likely than not that the tax benefits will not be realized. A deferred tax
11
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 recognized 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.
The Income Basic Tax Act took effect on January 1, 2006. The alternative minimum tax ("AMT") imposed under the Income Basic Tax Act is a supplemental tax levied at a rate of 10% which is payable if the income tax payable determined pursuant to the Income Tax Law is below the minimum amount prescribed under the Income Basic Tax Act. The tax effect of such amounts was taken into consideration in determining the realization of deferred income tax assets.
Income taxes (10%) on undistributed earnings are recorded as expenses in the year when the stockholders have resolved that the earnings shall be retained.
Income tax credit is accounted for in accordance with the R.O.C. SFAS No. 12 "Accounting for Income Tax Credit". Income tax credits resulting from the acquisition of equipment, research and development expenditures, and employee training shall be recognized using the flow-through method.
- •
- Treasury Stock
Treasury stock transactions are accounted for under the cost method. The acquisition cost of shares is recorded under the caption of treasury stock, a contra stockholders' equity account.
When treasury stock is sold for more than its acquisition cost, the difference is credited to capital reserve-treasury stock transaction. If treasury stock is sold for less than its acquisition cost, the difference is charged to the same capital reserve account. If the balance of the capital reserve is insufficient, any further reduction shall be charged to retained earnings.
When treasury stock is retired, the treasury stock account is credited and all capital account balances related to the treasury shares, including capital reserve-treasury stock transaction, are reduced on a proportionate basis. If the remaining balance is a credit, it is recorded under capital reserve—treasury stock transaction, and if the remaining balance is a debit, it is recorded under retained earnings.
3. Reasons and Effect of Accounting Change
As discussed in Note 4. (18) to the financial statements, effective from January 1, 2005, the Company adopted R.O.C. SFAS No.35, "Accounting for Asset Impairment." The financial statements of prior years should not be retroactively restated. As a result of the adoption, the Company's total assets was reduced by NT$23,119,000 as of December 31, 2005 (restated—see Note 10), and net loss increased by NT$23,119,000 in 2005 (restated—see Note 10).

10. Restatement of Financial Statements
The Company restated its 2005 financial statements due to an error in the calculation of asset impairment loss which resulted in net loss to increase by NT$14,578,130. Accumulated impairment and impairment loss of 2005 were both NT$23,119,000 after the restatement.
The Company also restated its 2006 financial statements due to an error in the application of capital reduction. As a result, treasury stock was reduced by NT$5,546,551 and accumulated deficit was increased by NT$5,546,551.
11. Material Differences between US GAAP and ROC GAAP
The Company's financial statements have been prepared in conformity with "Business Entity Accounting Law" 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"). A narrative discussion on certain significant differences between ROC GAAP and US GAAP that are applicable to the Company are summarized below:
Under ROC GAAP, the Company is not required to accrue for unused employee's vacation leave at the end of each year. However, under US GAAP, SFAS No. 43 requires that an employer to accrue a liability for employees' compensation for future absences if all of the following conditions are met: i) the employer's obligation relating to employees' rights to receive compensation for future absences is attributable to employees' services already rendered, ii) the obligation relates to rights that vest or accumulate, iii) payment of the compensation is probable, and iv) the amount can be reasonably estimated. Accordingly, under US GAAP, unused vacation that can be carried over to the next year has to be accrued for at each balance date to properly record the expense in the period in which the employee provided the services.
- (2)
- Pension
As a non-public company, the Company is permitted to account for its defined benefit pension plan by recording an expense equal to the required monthly contribution as determined by the labor standards law of the R.O.C.
Under US GAAP, a defined benefit pension plan is accounted for pursuant to SFAS No. 158 (effective for the Company in its fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006 with early adoption encouraged), "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)", which requires the recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability and changes in the funded status to be recognized through other comprehensive income, net of tax. Gains and losses, prior service costs, or transition assets and liabilities unrecognized as components of net periodic benefit cost of the period in accordance with SFAS No. 87 are now recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.
- (2)
- Impairment of long-lived assets
Prior to January 1, 2005, no specific standards address impairment of long-lived assets under ROC GAAP. Effective January 1, 2005, R.O.C. SFAS No. 35, "Accounting for Impairment of Assets," requires an entity to assess for impairment long-lived assets or asset groups whenever indications of impairment exist. If there are any such indications, the asset or asset group must be tested for impairment. An impairment loss for an asset or asset group must be recognized
25
in the income statement when its carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is measured as the higher of net selling price or value in use (discounted cash flows). Reversal of impairment loss is made when there has been a change in economic conditions or in the expected use of the asset or asset group such that the previously recognized impairment loss no longer exits or has diminished. Upon the reversal of impairment loss, the carrying value of the asset or asset group should be increased to its recoverable amount, adjusted for any depreciation (amortization) expense that would have been recognized had the asset or asset group not been impaired. Asset impairment loss is presented as a non-operating expense, and impairment recoveries are presented as non-operating income.
Under US GAAP, a long-lived asset or asset group, to be held and used, is assessed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that an impairment exits. If the undiscounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group is less then its carrying value, an impairment loss equal to the excess of its carrying value over its fair value is recognized. In addition, impairment loss cannot be reversed for long-lived assets or asset group, to be held and used. The impairment loss results in a new cost basis for the assets. Impairment loss is presented as an operating expense.
- (3)
- Cash and cash equivalents
Under ROC GAAP, all certificates of deposit are classified as cash and cash equivalents. Under US GAAP, cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less.
- (4)
- Inventory provision
Under ROC GAAP, provisions for normal inventory scrap and obsolescence are recorded as non-operating expenses. However, under US GAAP, provisions for normal inventory scrap and obsolescence are generally charged to cost of sales. Under ROC GAAP, the write down of inventory due to lower-of-cost-or-market can be reversed to the extent that the reversal does not exceed the original cost.
Under US GAAP, a write-down of inventory to the lower-of-cost-or-market value creates a new cost basis that subsequently cannot be marked up based on changes in underlying circumstances.
- (6)
- Technology know-how
- •
- In years 2000 and 2002, the founders of the Company contributed their technology know-how in exchange for the Company's stock. Under ROC GAAP, the Company recorded the technology-know how based on a valuation report with corresponding entries to common stock and additional paid-in capital. The technology know-how was amortized over its estimated economic life using the straight-line method.
- •
- Under US GAAP, Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 5-G, "Acquisition of Assets from Promoters and Stockholders in Exchange for Common Stock," states that "transfers of nonmonetary assets to a company by its promoters or stockholders in exchange for stock prior to or at the time of the company's initial public offering normally should be recorded at the transferor's historical cost basis determined under generally accepted accounting principles."
- (7)
- Reclassification within stockholders' equity

Under ROC GAAP, the Company can reduce its accumulated deficit by offsetting it against its capital and capital surplus balances.
Under US GAAP, a deficit reclassification can be recognized only when it qualifies as a "quasi-reorganization" which requires the following conditions to be met: a) earned surplus, as of the date selected, is exhausted; b) upon consummation of the quasi-reorganization, no deficit exists in any surplus account; c) the entire procedure is made known to all persons entitled to vote on matters of general corporate policy and the appropriate consents to the particular transactions are obtained in advance in accordance with the applicable laws and charter provisions; and d) the procedure accomplishes, with respect to the accounts, substantially what might be accomplished in a reorganization by legal proceedings namely, the restatement of assets in terms of present considerations as well as appropriate modifications of capital and capital surplus, in order to obviate, so far as possible, the necessity of future reorganization of like nature.

- Employee bonus accrual
Under ROC GAAP, the Company accrued a bonus liability based on a policy ("Bonus Policy") to pay an annual bonus to its employees. The Company does not have a legal obligation to pay the bonus. The existence of contracts which places conditions on when the Company will pay the bonus, such as the need to achieve future profitability or to maintain employment with the Company do not overcome the presumption that a bonus liability should be recorded under ROC GAAP.
Under US GAAP, a bonus accrual is generally accounted for as a contingent liability. The existence of conditions which affect the likelihood of the future outcome will need to be assessed and an accrual will only be made when such conditions are determined to be probable and when the amount can be reasonably estimated.

- Payroll Taxes associated with share-based payments
In 2004, the Company entered into a contractual agreement with certain shareholders to reimburse them for any personal taxes that they will incur for transferring common shares of the Company to its employees. At the time, the employees were already entitled to receive shares from the shareholders arising from their fulfillment of past employment services to the Company. Accordingly, the employees could demand the transfer of shares at any time. No demand for share transfer was made during 2004. ROC GAAP does not provide specific guidance on when payroll taxes associated with share-based payments should be recognized as a liability. In this case, a liability was accrued in 2004 because it was determined that the transfer of shares was probable, the contractual agreement required the company to compensate the shareholders for personal taxes incurred as a result of the transfer and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
Under US GAAP a liability for employee payroll taxes on employee stock compensation should be recognized on the date of the event triggering the measurement and payment of the tax to the taxing authority, which in the case of the Company, would be the period in which the shares are transferred to the employees and the shareholders incur the obligation to pay personal tax on the transfer.
