Delta Electronics, Inc.
(incorporated as a company limited by shares in Taiwan, Republic of China)
Zero Coupon Convertible Notes Due 2008
The Zero Coupon Convertible Notes due 2008 are being offered by Delta Electronics, Inc. outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of 1933. The Notes are not being offered in the Republic of China.
The Notes will be direct and unconditional obligations of Delta Electronics, Inc. and will rank at least pari passu in right of payment with all other unsecured and unsubordinated debt of Delta Electronics, Inc., except as otherwise provided herein. The Notes will not bear interest except in the limited circumstances set forth herein. Holders of the Notes may convert the Notes into Common Shares of Delta Electronics, Inc. at any time (subject to certain restrictions) after August 29, 2003 and up to 30 days prior to maturity. The conversion rate is 624.5455 Common Shares per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. This is equivalent to a conversion price of NT$55 per Common Share determined at the fixed exchange rate of NT$34.35 = U.S.$1.00. The Common Shares are listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange and application will be made to list the Common Shares deliverable on conversion of the Notes on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. The closing sale price per Common Share on the Taiwan Stock Exchange on July 10, 2003 was NT$44.
Unless the Notes have been previously converted, redeemed or purchased and cancelled, holders of Notes will have the right to require Delta Electronics, Inc. to purchase for cash the Notes at a price equal to 97.82% of their outstanding principal amount on July 30, 2005. Holders of Notes will also have the right to require Delta Electronics, Inc. to redeem the Notes at a price equal to their Early Redemption Amount upon the Common Shares ceasing to be listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange or the occurrence of a Material Asset Transfer with respect to Delta Electronics, Inc.
Unless the Notes have been previously converted, redeemed or purchased and cancelled, Delta Electronics, Inc. will redeem the Notes at maturity at a price equal to 94.63% of their outstanding principal amount. The Notes may be redeemed at the option of Delta, in whole but not in part, at any time on or after July 30, 2006, at their Early Redemption Amount (as defined herein) on such redemption date if (i) the closing price of the Common Shares (translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate) on each of 20 consecutive trading days is at least 125% of the conversion price (translated into U.S. dollars at the fixed exchange rate of NT$34.35 = U.S.$1.00), or at any time if (ii) at least 90% in principal amount of the Notes have been converted, redeemed or purchased and cancelled. The Notes may also be redeemed, in whole but not in part, at any time at the option of Delta Electronics, Inc. at their Early Redemption Amount in the event of certain changes relating to Republic of China taxation.
Application has been made to list the Notes on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
See “Risk Factors” on page 17 for a discussion of certain factors to be considered in connection with an investment in the Notes.

Goldman Sachs International is entitled at any time, in whole or in part on one or more occasions, up to and including the day 30 days after the Closing Date, to purchase up to a further U.S.$15,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes (“Optional Notes”). As the Closing Date is expected to be on July 30, 2003, the date by which the option in respect of the Optional Notes must be fully exercised is expected to be on August 29, 2003. The Company shall inform the Luxembourg Stock Exchange in the event that any Optional Notes are issued.
The Notes and the Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any state securities laws. The Notes are only being sold outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. Because the Notes and the Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes are not, and will not be registered under the Securities Act, they are subject to certain restrictions on resale described under “Underwriting”.
The Notes will be represented by beneficial interests in a global certificate (the “Global Certificate”) in registered form, which will be registered in the name of a nominee of, and deposited on or about July 30, 2003 (the “Closing Date”) with, a common depositary (“Common Depositary”) for Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream, Luxembourg”). Beneficial interests in the Global Certificate have been accepted for clearance through Euroclear and Clearstream.

Summary
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information and financial statements appearing elsewhere herein.
The Delta Group is a worldwide leading manufacturer of quality switching power supplies (“SPS”) and a significant supplier of video displays and electronic components. SPS and electronic components are manufactured by the Delta Group for use in the consumer electronics, computer and telecommunications industries, and networking and electromechanical products for use in the networking industries. Other principal products manufactured by the Delta Group include AC/DC adapters, DC/DC converters, EMI filters, optical media converters and electronic ballasts. The major customers of the Delta Group include companies such as Dell, Hewlett-Packard/Compaq, IBM, Microsoft, NEC and Sony. For the year ended 31 December 2002, the Company’s consolidated operating revenues were NT$48,515 million (US$1,396 million) and its consolidated net income was NT$4,276 million (US$123 million).
The Delta Group produces a substantial portion of its products on an ODM or OEM basis, that is, it designs and manufactures products based on its customers’ requirements and specifications, often in consultation with its customers. The markets in which the Delta Group operates are highly competitive and its strategy is to focus on the development of innovative new products using advanced process technologies, maintaining high quality standards and improving production efficiency. Each of the Delta Group’s manufacturing plants is equipped with wholly- or partly-automated production lines and has engineering staff responsible for monitoring manufacturing automation and process improvement. The Delta Group also builds much of its automated equipment and systems in-house, which enables it to tailor the systems to its own needs to establish more effective and economical production processes.
In respect of quality maintenance, the Delta Group implements strict quality control programmes and undertakes substantial on-the-job training for its employees. Each of its manufacturing plants with substantial commercial production volumes is ISO-9001 and ISO-14001 certified. The Delta Group implements quality control at both the product design and commercial production stages to ensure that its products meet customers’ satisfaction. See “The Delta Group – Service Awards”.
The Delta Group’s products have become more advanced and sophisticated over time, and many of its customers’ product development cycles have shortened in response to technological innovations and rapidly changing market demands. The Company believes that continuous investment and efforts to reinforce its research and development capabilities are key to maintaining its competitiveness in the markets for its existing products whilst building its market share and customer base for its new products. To this end, the Delta Group has design groups, engineering teams and research and development laboratories in the ROC, Hong Kong, the PRC, the United States and Europe.
As a result of its research and development efforts, the Delta Group has in the past successfully developed products such as telecom power systems, uninterrupted power supplies (UPSs), digital visual display systems, LCD flat panel displays, projectors, radio frequency/microwave components, variable speed AC motor drives, rear projection displays, optical transceivers and broadband equipment. Recently, new products developed by the Delta Group include advanced power management systems, components such as cooler modules for P-4, RF IC and front-end modules for telecommunications, CCFL for LCD backlighting, low noise and wide rated fans and solenoid for auto ABS systems, video displays such as new models of light weight and high lumen front projectors, DLP optical engine for rear projection TVs and monitors and real projection systems of high resolution, networking products such as management switches utilizing higher end gigabit LAN technology, layer three switches and wireless LAN solutions and AC motor drive products for industrial applications and brushless DC and AC servo drivers for consumer applications. The Delta Group has also developed PLC (programmable logic
9
controllers) with embedded communication interface, human machine interface (HMI), temperature controllers and a variety of encoders with an aim to provide a comprehensive automation solution.
The Delta Group owns four manufacturing facilities and leases one in the ROC to produce its products. It also owns six production plants in the PRC. In addition, certain products are manufactured in factories owned by the Company’s affiliates located in Tianjin, the PRC, in Bangkok, Thailand and in Tijuana, Mexico. In all, the Company and its subsidiaries own a total of approximately 4.3 million square feet of manufacturing space and have access to additional manufacturing space through its affiliates in the PRC, Thailand and Mexico. The Delta Group has substantially increased its production outside of the ROC in recent years, primarily in plants located in the PRC where average production costs are lower than in the ROC. The Delta Group and its affiliates have a global network of sales and logistic offices in the United States, Japan, Europe, the ROC, the PRC, Thailand, Singapore and Hong Kong to provide fast and convenient distribution services to its customers throughout the world.

Risk Factors
Prior to making any investment decision, prospective investors should carefully consider all of the information contained in this Offering Circular, including the following information:
RISKS RELATED TO THE DELTA GROUP AND ITS BUSINESS
Dependence on global information technology (computer products and networking products) and telecommunications industries
The business of the Delta Group is dependent on continuing demand for computer products, networking products, telecommunications products and their accessories. The computer and telecommunications industries have been volatile and subject to intense competition and significant shifts in demand. From time to time, the computer and telecommunications industries in particular have experienced significant downturns, characterized by diminished product demand, overcapacity and accelerated erosion of average sales prices. There can be no assurance that any future downturn in the computer, networking products or telecommunications industries will not be severe or that the Delta Group’s results of operations or financial condition will not be materially and adversely affected by such downturns or other unfavorable developments.
Product cycle, new products and technological changes
Many of the Delta Group’s products, including power supply products, networking products and video display products, have relatively short product cycles due to rapidly changing technology and evolving industry standards. The Delta Group’s success is highly dependent upon its ability to develop and deliver high quality and cost effective products on a timely basis in line with the latest technology. To date, the Company believes that the Delta Group has been successful in its efforts to introduce new products to meet the competitive requirements of the market place; however, there can be no assurance that the Delta Group will be able to continue to introduce new products as a result of its research and development activities or that it will be able to keep pace with the latest technological development in the market. Delays in introducing new products with anticipated technological advances may have an adverse effect on the Delta Group’s business. There can be no assurance that any new products introduced by the Delta Group will be made on a timely basis and gain market acceptance or will not be adversely affected by technology changes or new product developments by competitors.
Competition
The markets for the Delta Group’s products are highly competitive and the Delta Group has experienced downward pressure on its product prices and margins. For each of the Delta Group’s products, the Delta Group competes with major international electronic companies, some of which have greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than the Delta Group. The Delta Group competes in different product lines to various degrees on the basis of price, product quality and technical performance, product features, product system compatibility, customized design and sales and technical support. The Delta Group’s ability to compete successfully also depends on other elements both within and outside of its control, including successful and timely introduction of new products, efficient manufacturing of products which meet required quality standards, pricing, as well as larger industry supply and demand trends and general economic trends. In the event the Delta Group fails to compete successfully as required in the various markets in which it participates, there is likely to be a material adverse effect on the Delta Group’s results of operations.
Reliance on key customers
The markets for the Delta Group’s products tend to be concentrated, with a large percentage of orders coming from a group of top-tier customers in the 3C industries. All of the Delta Group’s key
16
customers operate in the cyclical technology businesses and have in the past, and may in the future, vary order levels significantly from period to period. In addition, there can be no assurance that such customers or any other customers will continue to place orders with the Delta Group in the future at the same levels as in prior periods. The loss of one or more of the Delta Group’s customers or distributors, or reduced orders by its key customers or distributors, could adversely affect the Delta Group’s results of operations. Furthermore, the Delta Group has in the past, and may in the future, be requested to reduce prices to limit the level of order cancellations and, in an industry downturn, order cancellations may be expected.
Inter-relationships among the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates
The Company’s chairman and CEO Mr. Bruce Cheng effectively exercises significant influence over the Delta Group. Although the day to day operations of the Company are managed by a team of experienced professionals, Mr. Cheng is, and is expected to remain, in a position to influence the operations and management of the Company. Further, many of the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates have common directors and supervisors, and many of such companies engage in significant transactions (which, the Company believes, take place on terms similar to those which would prevail in transactions among unrelated parties) with other members of the Delta Group, including sharing technologies, design engineering and research and development resources and providing the Company with sales and marketing channels. While the Company believes that its operations are independent of its subsidiaries and affiliates, there can be no assurance that corporate opportunities and resources will not be allocated within such companies in certain instances based on considerations other than the best interest of the Company and its securityholders. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the relationships among the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates will not change, and any adverse change in or termination of the Company’s relationships with those other companies could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Reliance on certain sources of key components
The Delta Group’s production depends on obtaining adequate supplies of raw materials and components on a timely basis. The Delta Group purchases its raw materials and components principally from a group of leading suppliers of high quality materials which the Company believes can satisfy the quality standards and volume requirements of the Delta Group. A number of the main components necessary for the production of certain of the Delta Group’s products are available from a limited number of suppliers. The Company believes that the potential sources of the Delta Group for raw material supplies are more numerous and that it could shift to other suppliers should difficulties with any one or more arise in the future; though shifts in suppliers could result in a temporary interruption of production which could have an adverse effect on the Delta Group’s financial position and results of operations. In addition, although the Company believes that the Delta Group would be able to pass on a portion of higher component and raw material costs to its customers, there can be no assurance that the Delta Group would be able to pass on all of the increased costs of components and raw materials to its customers.
Dependence on qualified personnel
The Delta Group’s success depends to a significant extent upon, among other factors, its ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel, including key senior executives and research and development, engineering, marketing, sales, manufacturing, support and other personnel. There is intense competition for qualified executive officers, administrators, engineers and technicians in Taiwan. The loss of the services of key personnel without adequate replacements or the inability to attract new qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Delta Group. In order to attract and retain its employees, the Delta Group has devoted significant resources to the training and professional development of its employees and to providing comprehensive employee benefits, including employee bonuses which customarily involve distributions in the form of Common Shares.
17
Intellectual property protection
The Delta Group owns certain patents in the United States, ROC, Japan, Germany, the PRC and elsewhere relating to certain aspects of its products and processes and has a number of additional patent applications pending. There can be no assurance that pending patent applications will be granted, or that any patent protection rights will provide the Delta Group with meaningful protection from competition. Infringement by third parties of the Delta Group’s patented products and processes could have a material adverse effect on the Delta Group’s operating results and enforcement of the Delta Group’s intellectual property rights could be difficult and costly.
As is the case with many companies in the electronic component and devices industry, the Delta Group from time to time receives communications from third parties asserting patent rights to the Delta Group’s products and enters into discussions with such third parties as to their respective positions and the terms of any possible licenses in respect of such patent rights. Irrespective of the validity or the successful assertion of such claims, the Delta Group could incur significant costs with respect to the defence thereof which could have a material adverse effect on the Delta Group’s results of operations or financial condition.
Joint venture risks
The Company has, and expects to have, certain minority interests in a number of affiliates and joint venture entities established in the United States and Thailand and elsewhere in connection with its manufacturing operations. Such investments may involve special risks associated with the possibility that the other shareholders or joint venture partners may (i) have economic or business interests or goals that are inconsistent with those of the Company; (ii) take actions contrary to the instructions or requests of the Company or contrary to the Company’s policies or objectives; (iii) be unable or unwilling to fulfill their obligations under the relevant joint venture or shareholders’ agreements; or (iv) have financial difficulties. In addition, there is no assurance that the laws and regulations in these countries relating to foreign investment will not be altered in such a manner as to result in a material adverse effect on the business and operating results of the Delta Group. Although the Company has not to date experienced any significant problems with respect to its joint venture or investment partners, there can be no assurance that it will not experience problems in the future. The occurrence of such problems may have an adverse effect on the business and prospects of the Delta Group.
RISKS RELATING TO THE ROC
Political risks associated with doing business in Taiwan
The Company is incorporated in Taiwan, ROC, and a substantial portion of the Company’s assets are located in, and a substantial portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from, its production operations in the ROC. Accordingly, the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and the market price of the Shares may be affected by changes in ROC governmental policies, taxation, inflation, interest rates, social instability and other political, economic, diplomatic or social developments in or affecting the ROC which are outside of the Company's control. The ROC has a unique international political status. The PRC asserts sovereignty over all of China (being Taiwan, certain other islands and all of mainland China). The ROC government does not recognize the legitimacy of the PRC government and the PRC government does not recognize the legitimacy of the ROC government. Although significant economic and cultural relations have been established in recent years between the ROC and the PRC, from time to time, there has been significantly increased tension between the ROC and the PRC. In certain past incidents, the heightened tension between the ROC and the PRC have affected the prices of securities listed on the TSE and the Taiwan Weighted Index adversely. Relations between the ROC and the PRC may also affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and the market price and liquidity of the Notes and the Common Shares. No assurance can be given that the relations
18
between the ROC and the PRC will improve, or that future military or economic activities may not be undertaken by either government to the detriment of the other.
Natural or man-made disasters
A significant portion of the Delta Group’s assets, customers and suppliers are located in Taiwan. As a result, the Delta Group is dependent on the infrastructure supporting Taiwan and its ability to avoid damage from earthquakes, floods, power losses and similar events that affect the island.
Taiwan is susceptible to earthquakes. In recent years, Taiwan experienced severe earthquakes that caused significant property damage and loss of life, particularly in the central part of Taiwan. These earthquakes caused damage to production facilities and adversely affected the operations of many companies. Although the Delta Group has not experienced any major structural damage to its facilities from earthquakes, there can be no assurance that future earthquakes will not occur and result in major damage to its facilities, which would have a material adverse effect on its results of operations.
Whilst the Delta Group maintains several insurance policies relating to its business, there is no assurance that it has sufficient insurance coverage should there occurs any natural or man-made disaster which exposes the Delta Group to any substantial risks.
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
The recent outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, which began in the PRC and Hong Kong, and which has since spread to the ROC, may have a negative impact on the Delta Group operations of the Delta Group. The operations of the Delta Group may be impacted by a number of SARS-related factors, including, but not limited to:
-
disruptions of its Taiwan operations;
-
disruptions at its production facilities in the PRC;
-
disruptions at third-party purchasers, distributors and raw material and component suppliers and manufacturers that are primarily located in Taiwan and China with whom it conducts business;
-
reduced sales in its international distribution channels; and
-
increased supply chain costs.
So far the operations of the Delta Group have not been materially and adversely affected by SARS. However, if SARS reappears in the ROC or the PRC or spreads to other areas, its sales and operations could be harmed.
ROC securities market
The ROC securities market is smaller and more volatile than the securities markets in the United States, Europe and certain other countries. The TSE has experienced substantial fluctuations in the prices of listed securities and has shown particular volatility following certain political events, market events and scandals. There are currently limits on the range of daily price movements on the TSE. The TSE Index peaked at 12,495.34 points in February 1990, then subsequently fell to a low of 2,560 points in October 1990. For the period from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2002, the TSE Index peaked at 6,462 points on April 22, 2002 and reached a low of 3,850 points on October 11, 2002. The daily closing prices of the Common Shares ranged from NT$37.14 per Share to NT$55.90 per Share over the same period. On July 10, 2003, the TSE Index closed at 5,282.38. See “The Securities Market of the ROC”. The TSE has experienced problems such as market manipulation, insider trading and payment defaults. The recurrence of these or similar problems and restrictions on price movements could adversely affect the market price and liquidity of the securities of ROC companies, including the Notes and the Common Shares, in both domestic and international markets.
19
Financial reporting and accounting standards in the ROC
The Company is subject to financial reporting requirements in the ROC that differ in certain respects from those applicable to companies in certain other countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom. In addition, the Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with ROC GAAP which differ in certain respects from U.S. GAAP. See “Summary of certain differences between ROC GAAP and U.S. GAAP”. Potential investors should consult their own professional advisers for an understanding of such differences and how they might affect the financial information included herein.
Foreign exchange control
Under existing ROC law, foreign exchange approvals must be obtained from the Central Bank of China (the "CBC") on a payment-by-payment basis for the conversion into foreign currencies in connection with the proceeds from the sale of subscription rights for newly issued shares. In addition, foreign persons may, subject to certain required documents, but without foreign exchange approval of the CBC, remit outside and into the ROC foreign currencies of up to U.S.$100,000 (or its equivalent) for each remittance. There can be no assurance that any such approval will be obtained in a timely manner or at all. See "Foreign Investment and Exchange Control in the ROC – Overseas Corporate Bonds".
The imposition of foreign exchange restrictions may have an adverse effect on foreign investors' ability to acquire ROC securities, including the Notes and the Company's Shares, or repatriate the interest, dividends or sale proceeds from those securities.
The ROC government may impose foreign exchange restrictions in certain emergency situations, including situations where there are sudden fluctuations in interest rates or exchange rates, where the ROC government experiences extreme difficulty in stabilizing the balance of payments or where there are substantial disturbances in the financial and capital markets in Taiwan. These resections may require foreign investors to obtain the ROC government's approval before acquiring ROC securities or repatriating the interest or dividends form those securities or the proceeds from the sale of those securities. No assurance can be given that these restrictions will not adversely affect, among other things, the secondary market price of the Notes.
RISKS RELATING TO THE PRC
Political and economic situation and legal developments in the PRC
The Company, through its subsidiary, Delta International Holding Ltd., operates several facilities in the PRC from which the majority of the production for the Company takes place. A significant portion of the Company’s revenues are also generated from products manufactured in the PRC. Any changes in the political, social and economic environment of the PRC will have a direct impact on the growth of the PRC economy and hence the business and future prospects of the Company. There can be no assurance that the Delta Group’s investment in the PRC and its production operations in the PRC will not be adversely affected if relations between the PRC and the ROC are further strained.
The PRC government has pursued economic reforms with the commencement of its open door policy in 1978 and has expressed its commitment to move further towards a “socialist market economy”. However, many of the reforms and economic policies adopted, or to be adopted, by the PRC government are unprecedented or experimental in nature and may have unforeseen results, which may have an adverse effect on enterprises with business in the PRC, including the Delta Group.
In addition, there are currency exchange risks associated with doing business in the PRC. Although PRC governmental policies were introduced in 1996 to allow greater convertibility of the renminbi, the currency of the PRC, significant restrictions, including those relating to the repatriation of
20
foreign currency denominated investments, still remain. No assurances can be made that the PRC regulatory authorities will not impose greater restrictions on the convertibility of the renminbi.
PRC legal system
The Company has established a number of production facilities in the PRC and a substantial portion of the total revenue of its manufacturing activities is conducted in the PRC. Its operations and assets (including land use rights) in the PRC are governed by the legal system of the PRC. The legal system of the PRC is based on written laws and regulations and in which prior court decisions may be cited as authority but do not have effect as binding precedent. The PRC government is in the process of establishing a comprehensive system of laws and regulations. The existing body of laws and regulations in areas such as foreign investment, corporate organization and governance, securities and taxation has significantly enhanced the protection afforded to foreign investors. However, the legal system of the PRC is relatively undeveloped and experience with respect to the implementation, interpretation and enforcement of laws and regulations is limited. Therefore, the outcome of dispute resolution is not as predictable as in more developed legal jurisdictions.
RISKS RELATED TO THE NOTES AND THE COMMON SHARES
Considerations related to conversion
Noteholders will not be permitted to convert their Notes during any Closed Period. See “Information relating to the Conversion Right” and “Terms and Conditions of the Notes -- Conversion”. Under current ROC Laws and regulations, PRC persons are not permitted to hold or convert the Notes or to register as shareholders of the Company.
Non-ROC persons wishing to convert the Notes into Common Shares, unless having previously become a qualified foreign institutional investor or a general foreign investor and having obtained the relevant governmental approval, will be required to first obtain such approval as a qualified foreign institutional investor or a general foreign investor (as appropriate), and are required under current ROC laws and regulations to appoint a tax guarantor in Taiwan for filing tax returns and making tax payments on their behalf. A tax guarantor must meet certain qualifications set by the Ministry of Finance of the ROC and, upon appointment, becomes a guarantor of the holder's ROC tax obligations. Holders wishing to repatriate profits derived from the sale of Common Shares received upon conversion, or cash dividends or interest derived from any such Common Shares, will generally be required to submit evidence of appointment of a tax guarantor and the approval of the appointment by the ROC tax authorities. No assurance that the approval for the appointment of a tax guarantor will be obtained in a timely manner.
In addition, under current ROC law, holders of the Notes who exercise their conversion rights to receive Common Shares will be required to appoint a local agent in Taiwan to, among other things, open a securities trading account with a local securities brokerage firm, remit funds and exercise shareholders' rights. They must also appoint a local bank to act as custodian for handling confirmation and settlement of trades, safekeeping of securities and cash proceeds and reporting of information. Without the relevant governmental approval, appointment of the local agent and custodian, and the opening of the trading account, such persons will not be able to hold, sell or otherwise transfer our Common Shares on the TSE. See "Foreign Investment and Exchange Control in the ROC".
Potential liquidity of Notes and Common Shares
Neither the Notes nor the Common Shares have been, nor will they be, registered under the securities laws of the United States or elsewhere and neither the Notes nor the Common Shares may be publicly offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred in any jurisdiction where such registration may be required. The Notes may not be publicly offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in the ROC. See "Underwriting".
21
The Notes are a new issue of securities for which there is currently no trading market. The Company cannot predict whether an active trading market for the Notes will develop or be sustained. If an active trading market were to develop, the Notes could trade at prices that may be lower than the initial offering price. Whether or not the Notes could trade at lower prices depends on many factors including:
-
prevailing interest rates and the markets for similar securities;
-
general economic conditions; and
-
the Company's financial condition, historic financial performance and future prospects.
If an active market for the Notes fails to develop or be sustained, the trading price of such Notes could be materially adversely affected. Application has been made to have the Notes listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain or be able to maintain such a listing or that, if listed, a trading market will develop on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. The Notes may not be publicly offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred in any jurisdiction where registration may be required.
Disclosure obligations
A Noteholder or its designee requesting the conversion of its Notes into Common Shares may be required to provide certain information to the Company or the conversion agent, including the name and nationality of the person to be registered as the shareholder and the number of Common Shares such person is acquiring and has acquired in the past through conversion of Notes held by it, and supporting documents, before such conversion will be effected. Under applicable ROC laws, the Company is required to report to the ROC SFC if the person to be registered as a shareholder: (i) is a "related party" of the Company as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 6 of the ROC or (ii) will hold, immediately following such conversion, more than 10% of the total number of Common Shares deliverable upon the conversion of the aggregate principal amount of all Notes at the time of issue. The conversion of the Notes may be delayed if such information is not provided.
Fluctuations in share price
The market price of the Notes at any time will be affected by fluctuations in the price of the Company's Common Shares. It is impossible to predict whether the price of the Company's Common Shares will rise or fall. Trading prices of the Company's Common Shares will be influenced by, among other things, the Company's results of operations and political, economic, financial and other factors that can affect the capital markets on which the Company's Common Shares are traded and the financial services market in Taiwan. Any decline in the price of the Company's Common Shares would adversely affect the secondary market price of the Notes.
Fluctuations in exchange rate
Although the principal amount of the Notes is denominated in U.S. dollars, the Company's Common Shares are listed on the TSE, which quotes and trades the Company's Common Shares in NT dollars. As a result, fluctuations in the exchange rate between the NT dollar and the U.S. dollar will affect, among other things, the secondary market price of the Notes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Company's Common Shares received upon conversion of the Notes.
22
Use of proceeds
The net proceeds of the issue of the Notes are estimated to be approximately U.S.$183 million. The Company will use the net proceeds available to it to purchase raw materials.

Dividends
The Company has distributed cash and stock dividends on its Common Shares since 1989. The following table sets forth the aggregate number of outstanding Common Shares entitled to dividends, as well as the cash paid and stock dividends distributed during each of the years indicated. Figures represent dividends in respect of the prior fiscal year paid in the current fiscal year.

(1) Holders of Common Shares receive as a stock dividend the number of Common Shares equal to the NT dollar value per Share of the declared dividend, multiplied by the number of Common Shares owned, divided by the par value of NT$10 per Share. Fractions of Common Shares are not issued. Any differences are paid in cash.
The Company’s dividend policy is to capitalize a portion of its earnings each year in the form of a stock dividend. The Company historically has paid an annual dividend on its Common Shares with respect to the preceding year after approval by the Company’s stockholders at the annual stockholders’ meeting. The form, frequency and amount of future dividends on the Common Shares will depend upon the Company’s earnings, cash flow, financial condition and other factors.
The ROC Company Law requires that 10% of annual net income (less prior year losses), after payment of taxes and duties, be set aside as a legal reserve until the accumulated legal reserve equals the Company’s total capital. The Company’s Articles of Incorporation require that at least 3% of annual net earnings (after deducting the legal reserve and providing for losses incurred in prior years) be distributed as a bonus to employees at the time annual dividends are declared. See “Description of the Common Shares”. In each of 2001, 2002 and 2003, the Company paid some employee bonuses in the form of stock. The amount of Common Shares issued as bonus is obtained by dividing the cash value of
26
the bonus by the par value of the Common Shares, which is NT$10. Because the market value of the Common Shares has been generally well in excess of the par value, the actual cash value of a stock bonus has also been in excess of the amount such an employee would have received had the bonus been paid exclusively in cash. See “Description of the Common Shares”.
27
Exchange Rates
Fluctuations in the exchange rate between NT dollars and U.S. dollars will affect the U.S. dollar equivalent of the NT dollar price of the Common Shares on the TSE and, as a result, are likely to affect the market price of the Notes.
Set forth below are the period-end approximate closing rates in effect between the NT dollar and the U.S. dollar, expressed in NT dollars per U.S. dollar, for the periods indicated.

Recent Development and Outlook
The Company has filed its audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the three years ended December 31, 2000 , 2001 and 2002 and its unaudited non-consolidated financial statements as at and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2003 with the ROC SFC.
The financial statements as at and for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers, the independent accountants of the Company, who conducted the audit of such financial statements in conformity with auditing standards generally accepted in the ROC. The financial statements were prepared in accordance with ROC GAAP. ROC GAAP differs in certain material respects from US GAAP. See “Summary of principal differences between ROC GAAP and US GAAP”.
PricewaterhouseCoopers has also reviewed the non-consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2003 in accordance with review standards generally accepted in the ROC. The review of such interim financial statements is substantially less in scope than an audit.
The Company is not required by the laws and regulations of the ROC to prepare, and does not publish, any interim consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial data for the threemonth periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2003 contained herein are extracted from management accounts prepared by the Company and have not been reviewed by PricewaterhouseCoopers.
The following discussion and analysis has been made on the basis of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 and the Company’s unaudited non-consolidated financial statements as at and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2003 and certain consolidated financial data as at and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2003 extracted from management accounts prepared by the Company.
Result of Consolidated Operations in 2001 and 2002
Consolidated operating revenues of the Company increased by 13.61 per cent. to NT$48,514,722 thousand (US$1,396,107 thousand) in 2002 from NT$42,702,221 thousand in 2001. The increase in operating revenues was primarily attributable to the increase in unit sales of power-related products and video display products, in particular the sales of high-end LCD monitors, and to a lesser extent, to the fact that the Company began to consolidate sales by its indirect subsidiaries in Wujiang, the PRC in the second half of 2002 in the consolidated financial statement of the Group by the Company. Consolidated gross profit was NT$9,942,891 thousand (US$286,126 thousand) (or 20.49 per cent. of consolidated operating revenues) in 2002, a NT$1,573,591 thousand (or 18.80 per cent.) increase over the NT$8,369,300 thousand consolidated gross profit (or 19.60 per cent. of consolidated operating revenues) in 2001. The increase in gross profit was due principally to the maintenance of strong margins on the Company’s power-related products and LCD monitors.
Consolidated operating income increased by 52.15 per cent. to NT$3,795,800 thousand (US$109,234 thousand) in 2002 as compared with NT$2,494,698 thousand in 2001. This was primarily due to the increase in consolidated net sales in 2002 as compared with 2001. Consolidated operating expenses increased slightly by 4.47 per cent. to NT$6,147,262 thousand (US$176,900 thousand) in 2002 as compared with NT$5,884,417 thousand in 2001. Sales and marketing expenses declined slightly in 2002 as compared with 2001, despite significantly increased unit sales, due primarily to the further migration of sales, services and logistics operations of the Company to the PRC where labour and other overhead costs are relatively low.
Consolidated non-operating income decreased by 33.32 per cent. from NT$2,941,028 thousand in 2001 to NT$1,961,198 thousand (US$56,437 thousand) in 2002. This was primarily due to the
30
combined effect of a decrease in gain on disposal of investment as the Company did not make any significant disposal in 2002 (whereas the Company recorded a significant gain as a result of its disposal of part of its shareholding in Cyntec Co., Ltd. and Macronix International Co., Ltd. in 2001) and a decrease in investment income and interest income. Consolidated non-operating expenses decreased by 22.53 per cent. from NT$1,180,044 thousand in 2001 to NT$914,211 thousand (US$26,308 thousand) in 2002. This was primarily due to a significant decrease in provision for inventory obsolescence and inventory revaluation loss in 2002 (whereas the Company incurred significant inventory loss in 2001 as it wrote off a significant amount of inventories for certain products that it ceased to produce in that year).
Primarily as a result of these factors, consolidated net income of the Company increased by 19.28 per cent. to NT$4,275,671 thousand (US$123,041 thousand) in 2002 from NT$3,584,564 thousand in 2001.
Result of Non-Consolidated Operations for the first three months of 2002 and 2003
For the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company recorded non-consolidated operating revenues of NT$10,220,674 thousand (US$294,120 thousand), an increase of 78.49 per cent. from the NT$5,726,329 thousand recorded for the corresponding period in 2002, due primarily to the fact that the Company now directly records sales derived from its indirect subsidiaries in the PRC as sales by the Company. Previously, part of the revenues from the PRC operations were accounted for as direct sales by those indirect subsidiaries. Non-consolidated gross profit was NT$862,531 thousand (US$24,821 thousand) (or 8.44 per cent. of non-consolidated operating revenues) for the three months ended March 31, 2003, a NT$89,070 thousand (or 11.52 per cent.) increase over the NT$773,461 thousand gross profit (or 13.51 per cent. of non-consolidated operating revenues) recorded for the corresponding period in 2002. The increase in gross profit was due principally to increase in commission revenues.
For the three months ended March 31, 2003, non-consolidated operating income increased by 192.97 per cent. to NT$24,765 thousand (US$712 thousand) from NT$8,453 thousand recorded in the corresponding period in 2002. This was primarily due to increase in net sales. Non-consolidated operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2003 slightly increased by 8.94 per cent. to NT$834,752 thousand (US$24,022 thousand) as compared with NT$766,215 thousand for the corresponding period in 2002. This increase was primarily due to increased selling expenses, and increased research and development expenses, incurred towards the development of new projector video display products.
For the three months ended March 31, 2003, non-consolidated non-operating income decreased by 6.57 per cent. to NT$1,069,968 thousand (US$30,790 thousand) as compared with NT$1,145,148 thousand for the corresponding period in 2002. This was primarily due to a reversal of bad debt reserve in the three months ended March 31, 2002. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, nonconsolidated non-operating expenses decreased by 50.68 per cent. to NT$33,162 thousand (US$954 thousand) from NT$67,239 for the corresponding period in 2002. This was primarily due to decreased interest expenses.
Primarily as a result of these factors, non-consolidated net income of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2003 increased by 38.81 per cent. to NT$1,083,348 thousand (US$31,175 thousand) from NT$780,465 thousand for the corresponding period in 2002.
Result of Consolidated Operations for the first three months of 2002 and 2003
For the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company recorded consolidated operating revenues of NT$12,447 million (US$358.2 million), an increase of 22.4 per cent. from the NT$10,165 million recorded for the corresponding period in 2002, due primarily to (i) the continued increase in unit sales of LCD monitors as well as component products and (ii) the fact that Company consolidated sales derived from its indirect subsidiaries in the PRC for the three months ended March 31, 2003, whereas it did not in the corresponding period in 2002. Consolidated gross profit was NT$2,728 million (US$78.5
31
million) (or 21.9 per cent. of consolidated operating revenues) for the three months ended March 31, 2003, a NT$378 thousand (or 16.1 per cent.) increase over the NT$2,350 million gross profit (or 23.1 per cent. of consolidated operating revenues) recorded for the corresponding period in 2002. The increase in gross profit was due principally to the continued increase in sales of LCD monitors, which typically carry a higher profit margin .
For the three months ended March 31, 2003, consolidated operating income increased by 25.8 per cent. to NT$1,181 million (US$33.99 million) from NT$939 million recorded in the corresponding period in 2002. This was primarily due to the increase in net sales.
Consolidated net income of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2003 increased by 38.3 per cent. to NT$1,083 million (US$31.17 million) from NT$780 million for the corresponding period in 2002.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Delta Group’s principal uses of funds are as working capital to purchase raw materials and components for its products and to finance its capital expenditure and investment requirements. The Delta Group’s principal sources of funds are principally internally generated cash and, to a lesser extent external borrowings.
The Delta Group’s net cash provided by (used in) operating activities and financing activities, respectively, for the three years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 were as follows:

INTRODUCTION
The Delta Group is a worldwide leading manufacturer of quality switching power supplies (“SPS”) and a significant supplier of video displays and electronic components. SPS and electronic components are manufactured by the Delta Group for use in the consumer electronics, computer and telecommunications industries, and networking and electromechanical products for use in the networking industries. Other principal products manufactured by the Delta Group include AC/DC adapters, DC/DC converters, EMI filters, optical media converters and electronic ballasts. The major customers of the Delta Group include companies such as Dell, Hewlett-Packard/Compaq, IBM, Microsoft, NEC and Sony. For the year ended 31 December 2002, the Company’s consolidated operating revenue was NT$48,515 million (US$1,396 million) and its consolidated net income was NT$4,276 million (US$123 million).
The Delta Group produces a substantial portion of its products on an ODM or OEM basis, that is, it designs and manufactures products based on its customers’ requirements and specifications, often in consultation with its customers. The markets in which the Delta Group operates are highly competitive and its strategy is to focus on the development of innovative new products using advanced process technologies, maintaining high quality standards and improving production efficiency. Each of the Delta Group’s manufacturing plants is equipped with wholly- or partly-automated production lines and has engineering staff responsible for monitoring manufacturing automation and process improvement. The Delta Group also builds much of its automated equipment and systems in-house, which enables it to tailor the systems to its own needs to establish more effective and economical production processes.
In respect of quality maintenance, the Delta Group implements strict quality control programmes and undertakes substantial on-the-job training for its employees. Each of its manufacturing plants with substantial commercial production volumes is ISO-9001 and ISO-14001 certified. The Delta Group implements quality control at both the product design and commercial production stages to ensure that its products meet customers’ satisfaction. See “The Delta Group – Service Awards”.
The Delta Group’s products have become more advanced and sophisticated over time, and many of its customers’ product development cycles have shortened in response to technological innovations and rapidly changing market demands. The Company believes that continuous investment and efforts to reinforce its research and development capabilities are key to maintaining its competitiveness in the markets for its existing products whilst building its market share and customer base for its new products. To this end, the Delta Group has design groups, engineering teams and research and development laboratories in the ROC, Hong Kong, the PRC, the United States and Europe.
As a result of its research and development efforts, the Delta Group has in the past successfully developed products such as telecom power systems, uninterrupted power supplies (UPSs), digital visual display systems, LCD flat panel displays, projectors, radio frequency/microwave components, variable speed AC motor drives, rear projection displays, optical transceivers and broadband equipment. Recently, new products developed by the Delta Group include advanced power management systems, components such as cooler modules for P-4, RF IC and front-end modules for telecommunications, CCFL for LCD backlighting, low noise and wide rated fans and solenoid for auto ABS systems, video displays such as new models of light weight and high lumen front projectors, DLP optical engine for rear
41
projection TVs and monitors and real projection systems of high resolution, networking products such as management switches utilizing higher end gigabit LAN technology, layer three switches and wireless LAN solutions and AC motor drive products for industrial applications and brushless DC and AC servo drivers for consumer applications. The Delta Group has also developed PLC (programmable logic controllers) with embedded communication interface, human machine interface (HMI), temperature controllers and a variety of encoders with an aim to provide a comprehensive automation solution.
The Delta Group owns four manufacturing facilities and leases one in the ROC to produce its products. It also owns six production plants in the PRC. In addition, certain products are manufactured in factories owned by the Company’s affiliates located in Tianjin, the PRC, in Bangkok, Thailand and in Tijuana, Mexico. In all, the Company and its subsidiaries own a total of approximately 4.3 million square feet of manufacturing space and have access to an additional manufacturing space through its affiliates in the PRC, Thailand and Mexico. The Delta Group has substantially increased its production outside of the ROC in recent years, primarily in plants located in the PRC where average production costs are lower than in the ROC. The Delta Group and its affiliates have a global network of sales and logistic offices in the United States, Japan, Europe, the ROC, the PRC, Thailand, Singapore and Hong Kong to provide fast and convenient distribution services to its customers throughout the world.

Maintain position as a leading manufacturer of power supplies and electronic components and the leading ODM partner to its major first tier customers in the 3C industries
The Company believes that the Delta Group’s position as a leading ODM manufacturer and supplier of power supplies, video displays, electronic components and networking products for key players in the 3C industries has provided it with significant competitive advantages. The Company believes that the Delta Group’s established reputation as a reliable supplier of quality products provides it with the opportunity to sell a broader range of products to its existing customers who are interested in vertical integrated solutions and to increase its sales of power supplies and other products in industries such as telecommunications and data communications where markets are still relatively undeveloped.
The Delta Group aims to become the leading ODM partner to its first tier customers in the 3C industries and continue to focus its efforts on establishing long-term relationships with those key players. Where possible, it works with its customers early in the design stage in order to design products which meet the customers’ specific requirements. It has formed close working relationships with its customers such as IBM, HPQ, Dell, Microsoft, NEC, Sony and Texas Instrucments. For instance, the Delta Group is a core member of Texas Instrucments’ strategic alliance pursuant to which it provides technical support in utilising 3-piece DLP technology in the production of projectors with maximum video performance on an exclusive basis and the strategic supplier of transceivers to NEC’s “Fiber To The Home” project in Japan. This practice enables the Delta Group to stay ahead of other competitors in offering new products as soon as a new system architecture or a new technological model is implemented.
Continue producing and delivering high quality, reliable products in a cost effective manner
The Company believes that the Delta Group’s expertise as a cost effective manufacturer and supplier of quality power supply and other electronic products in large volumes is essential to the success of its business. The Company believes that the manufacturing capacities of the Delta Group have provided it with a competitive advantage in securing orders from existing customers while expanding its customer base and give the Delta Group the ability to remain competitive even as market prices for its products decline. The Company intends to continue to focus on producing high quality products and on minimising its production costs by improving its production planning, sourcing and cost and inventory controls since the markets in which it competes are extremely competitive.
In order to provide high quality services to its customers, the Delta Group intends to continue to improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of its order-to-delivery process and the quality of its postsale technical support and maintenance services. The Company also believes that its use of the SAP systems, which link its production facilities with its global network of sales offices and logistics hubs, provides it with the necessary capacity and flexibility to fulfil the product demands of its global clients in an efficient manner and a competitive edge over its competitors. Dedicated teams of engineers have also been stationed close to major customer sites to provide timely technical support.
Enhance manufacturing efficiency
The Delta Group has demonstrated itself as an efficient manufacturer as it possesses integrated design, engineering, manufacturing and quality control capabilities. To further enhance its production efficiency, reduce cost and mitigate pressure on margins, the Company has in recent years been shifting an increasing portion of its production to the Group’s facilities in the PRC and its affiliates’ facilities in Thailand and Mexico, where readily available labour supply and lower overhead costs result in lower unit manufacturing costs. The Delta Group has been relocating the production of high-volume products to those plants and, in the longer term, will gradually manufacture and even design more technologically sophisticated products in such lower cost regions. The Delta Group and its affiliates intend to further increase the production capacity of their existing production facilities in Wujiang, the PRC and in Tijuana, Mexico, respectively.
43
Expand product lines related to its current businesses
A key objective of the Delta Group’s growth strategy is to focus on organic growth and expand the scope of its business by broadening its product lines and developing more advanced products. The Company has made a number of successful efforts to capitalise on its position as a computer industry leader in switching power supplies, including acting on a computer industry panel to develop standard server infrastructure models and working with a leading key technology manufacturer to develop power supply products for future generations of key technology products. The Delta Group has also capitalised on its capabilities as an efficient manufacturer of electronic components and equipment by successfully applying such expertise in expanding into the production of high-end system-level products such as video displays, networking and telecommunications equipment. This will not only allow the Delta Group to take advantage of economies of scale but also increase opportunities to cross-sell products to existing clients.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT AND COMPETITION
The principal markets in which the Delta Group competes are those for power supply products, video displays, electronic components, networking products and electromechanical products. Each of the markets is global, with industry leaders principally in the United States and Japan, but with production sites and ultimate customers located throughout the world. The Delta Group sells a substantial portion of its products on an ODM basis, and therefore the Delta Group competes for orders not just with other ODM and OEM manufacturers but also directly with its customers, which may choose to produce a particular product internally instead of outsourcing it from external suppliers. Many of the Delta Group’s products have relatively short product cycles due to rapidly changing technology and evolving industry standards. There also tend to be consistent downward trends in product prices, as advancement in technological knowhow and sustained competition compels producers to lower prices in order to retain market shares.
The markets for the Delta Group’s products are highly competitive and somewhat concentrated, with a large percentage of orders coming from a relatively small number of companies. The Delta Group competes for orders with major international companies, some of which have greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than the Delta Group. The Delta Group has found that product markets are also often segmented by industry. For example, in the market for power supply products, competitors of the Delta Group include Emerson/Astec, Artesyn and Lite On in the computer industry whereas the Delta Group competes for sales of such products in the telecommunications industry with companies such as Tyco and Ericsson. In the market for video display products, the Company believes that the most significant competitors of the Delta Group are in fact its customers, which may choose not to outsource the production of certain products.
The Delta Group competes in different product lines to various degrees on the basis of price, product quality and reliability, product features, product system compatibility, customised design and sales and technical support. The Company believes that most of the Delta Group’s customers prefer to source products from a relatively small number of outside vendors, and therefore consistent high quality execution of orders received is necessary to foster customer loyalty, earn repeat orders and increase market share. The Delta Group’s ability to compete successfully is also subject to other factors both within and outside of its control, including successful and timely development of new products, design innovation, efficient manufacturing of products which meet required quality standards, pricing, as well as industry supply and demand trends and general economic conditions. The business of the Delta Group is particularly dependent on demand for computer products, telecommunications products and their respective accessories.

Set out below is a more detailed description of the principal products of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates.
Power-related products
The Company is a worldwide leading manufacturer of switching power supplies and other power related products for the computer industry. It also manufactures such products for the consumer, computer and communication industries. Switching power supplies and power related products accounted for approximately 46% of the Company’s total consolidated operating revenue in 2002. The Delta Group devotes substantial resources to both refining existing technology and developing new technologies in order to maintain its leading position in the market. It also frequently works closely with its major customers to develop products customised to their needs.
The Company remains competitive by providing a comprehensive range of products (from the high-end to the middle-range) and by maintaining its large production capacity - allowing economies of scale to be brought to bear on production and overheads (e.g. logistics). The excellent relationships which the Company maintains with suppliers has ensured that production has not significantly been affected by fluctuations in parts supplies.
The principal types of power-related products currently produced by the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates are set out below.
Switching Power Supplies
The Company has over 20 years of experience in switching power supply production. Switching power supplies convert AC into DC and are used in workstations, desktop computers, servers, computer networks, computer peripherals (including printers, LCD monitors, digital cameras and game consoles), modems, fax machines, photo-copying machines, interactive televisions and satellite receivers in order to provide stable DC voltage and protection against voltage variation, unstable current, short-circuits and power line disturbance. These switching power supply products usually come with four current output levels (+12 Volts, -12 Volts, +5 Volts, -5 Volts) to support a machine’s operation and include a wide range of models. The switching power supplies produced by the Company and its subsidiaries and
46
affiliates provide up to 56,000 watts in power range. The Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates also produce models with advanced features such as power factor correction (“PFC”), current sharing, hot swap, battery backup and green energy function. All of the switching power supplies produced by the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates are in compliance with international safety standards. All these companies possess safety self-test and certification capabilities recognised by major international safety certification agencies.
Although the Company has traditionally focused on customised switching power supplies and adapters, it began selling standardised products in 1997, in order to capitalise on its research and development strengths and its low-cost production facilities in the PRC. The current standardised products are mainly used in desktop computers, scanners and servers.
AC/DC Adapters and DC/DC Converters
The Delta Group produces AC/DC adapters, DC/AC inverters and DC/DC converters for notebook computers, palmtop computers, battery chargers and portable printers, utilising hybrid circuits, thin film, system monitoring circuitries and self-designed ASICs (application specific ICs) technology to increase power density and reliability at reduced cost. These products feature PFC and power management functions for energy saving. DC/DC converters convert a DC voltage into another higher or lower voltage. They are used in computer, networking, telecommunications, industrial, military and aerospace sectors to generate multiple outputs from one DC source. The Delta Group also produces high density converters for CPUs. AC/DC adapters also convert AC to DC, but, unlike switching power supplies, only produce one set of current output for portable electronic appliances such as notebook computers. Many models of the Delta Group’s AC/DC adapters are designed to receive full-range input from 90 volts to 270 volts, a feature which enables electronic devices to gain adequate power supplies worldwide by a simple plug-in procedure. All of the Delta Group’s adapters, converters and inverters also provide stabilisation protection against voltage variations and short circuits and can produce stable voltage, current and power output to meet customer-specific applications.
Telecom Power Systems
The Delta Group’s telecom rack power systems are designed to provide uninterrupted power supplies for both wireline and wireless telecommunications networks. Each module of the Delta Group’s systems utilises high frequency switching mode rectifiers in combination with DC/DC converters and a control and supervisory unit to increase efficiency and reduce size for easy expansion. When using the Delta Group’s telecom rack power systems, a telecommunications network operator can use a remote control system to operate and monitor battery voltage, power supply and environmental conditions of the network under a window environment through a RS-232 interface. In addition, the Delta Group provides immediate on-line technical support to telecommunication network operators. The various product series offer a wide range of capacity up to 10000A to fulfill customers’ requirements. The compact, modular design with current sharing and hot-swap function allows the paralleling of Switching Mode Rectifiers (“SMR”), which leads to easy system expansion and maintenance. The CPU based Control and Supervisory Unit (“CSU”) ensures superior system function and protection. Temperature compensation for the VRLA battery is also available. In addition, system distribution unit is designed and configured to adopt different types of circuit breakers and dead front fuses.
Uninterruptible Power Systems
The Delta Group produces off-line UPSs, line interactive UPSs and on-line UPSs, all of which are designed to provide emergency power supplies for information technology applications, electronic devices and telecommunications equipment that require uninterrupted and reliable power sources. Offline UPSs provide emergency power backup for up to seven minutes in the event of power stoppages. They are cheaper and normally have lower power ratings. Line interactive UPSs supply higher performance power such as pure sinewave and maintain regulative output during power disturbances. On-line UPSs function as power filters and regulators, as well as power sources during any power
47
conditions. On-line UPSs are generally more expensive and in greater demand in developing countries where power supply is unstable. The Delta Group’s UPSs are equipped with circuit breakers which protect the UPSs and the output wiring from extremely large current variations such as short circuits. The Delta Group’s UPS products have a wide range of output capacities from 0.25KVA to 200KVA. Advanced features like PFC, galvanic isolation, parallel technology, battery replacement, lightning and surge protection (RJ-45/RJ-11) for Ethernet card/telephone line are integrated into the units. The Delta Group’s UPSs also comes with built-in CPU control, self-diagnosis and USB/RS-232C/dry contact/AS-400 communication ports. The Delta Group has developed UPS entry smart 2000 power management software to provide users with optimised protection. All units of the Delta Group are UL and TUV/CE approved.
Electronic Ballasts
The Delta Group manufactures electronic ballasts, which are used in energy saving lighting devices. The incorporation of electronic ballast permits the saving of between 20% and 75% of the energy used by standard products which do not incorporate electronic ballast and allows the useful life of such devices to be extended by up to 10 times the life of an ordinary light bulb. Electronic ballasts are used in compact fluorescent lamps, linear fluorescent lamps and metal halide lamps. These products utilise technology and manufacturing processes developed by the Company together with an unrelated third party partner. The Company anticipates an expanded demand in the retail market for products which incorporate electronic ballasts in the future.
Video display products
The Delta Group manufactures a wide range of video display products, focusing on projection display and computer display products. In recent years, the Delta Group has focused its efforts on projection systems and scaled down its previous focus on the production of CRT and LCD computer displays in light of the increasing commoditisation of, and declining profit margins for CRT and LCD products. Projection systems are regarded as the display solution of choice for high definition TV, the infrastructure for which is expected to become established by 2007. Video displays accounted for approximately 19% of the Company’s total consolidated operating revenue in 2002.
Front Projectors
Focusing on all available microdisplay technologies, the Delta Group continues to develop front projectors as the key product in its video display range. More than six new models of front projectors were introduced in the first quarter of 2003. To meet requirements from different market segments, front projectors with brightness ranging from the entry level of 1200 lumens up to 2400 lumens, and weight factors varying from 1.5kg to 3kg, are available. More economic models for the retail market are under development.
Rear Projection TVs
The Delta Group has gained a significant market position in the supply of Digital Light Processing (DLP) optical engines for rear projection TV/monitors. The Company believes that digital broadcasting will eventually replace analog broadcasting of TV programmes and that digital broadcasting will favour the larger displays made possible by rear projection technology. Pilot runs of digital broadcasting have already taken place in the United States, Europe and Japan and digital broadcasting is expected to replace analog broadcasting entirely in 2006, 2015 and 2010, respectively, in these locations. The Delta Group currently offers several rear projection system solutions for 42-inch, 56-inch and over 60-inch displays, in 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios. Sales of rear projection TV sets made an important contribution to the Company’s total consolidated operating revenue from video displays in 2002.
Apart from DLP, the Delta Group is maintaining its lead in LCD and LCoS technology to provide further rear projection TV solutions as market demand for their technologies increases.

The Delta Group’s networking products are mainly for ODM customers, who generally incorporate the Delta Group’s networking products into their computers and networks to promote efficiency in data sharing and transmission among multiple work stations.
While the market for network interface cards is expected to continue to expand in terms of volume, stiff price competition is anticipated in this product segment. The Issuer also saw significant price declines and related volume increases in the market for port switches in 2003.
The Delta Group also manufactures a wide range of broadband equipment, including xDSL modems, VPN, and firewalls. The Issuer has developed products such as wireless adaptors, access points, and wireless routers for use in wireless LAN solutions.
As the Delta Group has moved into new and more technology driven areas of the networking products market, it has increased the resources devoted to software applications for its products. The Company estimates that in the networking products area approximately 17% of the engineering personnel and 12% (based on R&D expenses) of the research and development resources of DNI were devoted to software applications in 2003.
Electromechanical products
Electromechanical products accounted for approximately 3% of the Company’s total consolidated operating revenue in 2002.
The Delta Group began production of motor drives (a type of inverter used to control the running speed of various machines and pieces of equipment) in 1995. By inputting programs, users of motor drives can control the running speed of their machinery and equipment to achieve the required mechanical function and optimise the use of energy. The Delta Group currently focuses on general purpose AC motor drives (0.2 Kw to 50 Kw) for use in industrial machines. The Delta Group’s motor drives use technology similar to that used in producing power supply products and make use of electronic components produced by the Delta Group. The Delta Group also plans to develop server drives and DC brushless motor drives.
In addition to traditional industrial applications, the Delta Group has also entered the consumer field with products for use in home appliances, which it believes will play an increasingly important role in the electronic motor drive market of the future, by developing brushless DC and AC servo motors and Drives. Furthermore, the Delta Group also offers programmable logic controllers (PLCs) with embedded communication interface, human machine interface (HMI), temperature controllers and a variety of encoders for use as discrete devices in the home appliance automation field.
Other products
Through its subsidiary Cyntec, the Company manufactures thin film products (eg, thin film platinum resistance temperature detectors and thin film chip resistors) which are critical for minimisation of electronic products. Sales of products produced by these subsidiaries have not reached significant amounts, and are not included as operating revenue in the financial information included in this Offering Circular.
CUSTOMERS
The Company sells more than 90% of its products on an ODM or OEM basis. As one of the leading manufacturers of switching power supplies and a significant supplier of video displays, electronic components and networking equipment to the consumer, computer and communications industries, the Company has major customers located throughout the world. The Company places emphasis on customer relations and providing high quality service. A key aspect of the Company’s customer development strategy has been to procure high volume orders on an OEM basis from major global computing and electronics companies. The following table sets forth the major customers for the Company’s products in alphabetical order and the type of products purchased by each:

Over the years, the Delta Group has received various service awards from its customers in recognition of the quality of its products and services. See “The Delta Group – Service Awards”. The top 10 customers by net sales of the Delta Group for the year ended 2002 were Sony, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Viewsonic, Netgear, Gateway, IBM, Microsoft, NEC and Fujitsu.
SALES AND MARKETING
ODM and OEM sales accounted for a substantial portion of the Company’s consolidated net sales. The Company typically sells its products based on specific customer purchase orders rather than longer-term (2 years or more) contractual commitments, although in some cases the Company does have agreements with customers to set the customers’ estimated demand for the Company’s products for a given year or a period of time. The Company also sells its component products under its own brand names, either directly to the ultimate customer or through distributors. The percentage of direct sales varies by product line and is typically small. The product lines with the highest relative percentage of direct sales are telecom power systems sold to customers in the telecommunications industry and certain networking products and electronic components.
Due to the characteristics of its business, the Delta Group’s sales and marketing efforts are very much customer-centered because knowledge of customers’ requirements and preferences is essential for securing OEM and ODM business. This is particularly true in the largest product line of power supply products, where historically manufacturers have been required to modify their products to meet the specific needs of each customer. The Company believes that a large majority of the Delta Group’s customers prefer to source products from a relatively small number of outside vendors, and therefore consistent high quality execution of orders received is necessary to foster customer loyalty, earn repeat orders and increase market share. Good customer service and after sales support are also important in meeting the needs and expectations of customers.
The Delta Group and its affiliates maintain a total of 31 sales offices in the ROC, Japan, the PRC, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Europe and the United States, and employ a sales and marketing staff of approximately 500 employees worldwide. To better respond to customers, every business group maintains a dedicated sales and marketing team, though in some circumstances sales people are shared by two or more business units.
The Company also believes that its commitment to research and development is directly related to its marketing efforts. In order to compete for and secure the most desirable and profitable business of new product development and design, the Delta Group has found that it must make significant investments in research and development of current technologies so that its personnel are fully conversant with the requirements of its customers. The Company believes that its investments in research and development will enhance the ability of the Delta Group to compete for new business and attract new customers. In addition to independent investments in new technologies, the Delta Group also devotes substantial resources to cooperating with industry leaders in developing new products. These efforts are, to the extent that they become publicised to customers and other industry players, a form of passive marketing. See “Business ― Strategy”.
ORDER PROCESS
The Delta Group has established long-term supply relationships with many of its major customers, which are subject to periodic review for estimated requirements and pricing. Information from such estimated requirements, as well as each production unit’s quarterly sales forecasts for all products, is factored into the relevant Delta Group company’s production plan reflecting all current and anticipated orders. Once an order is confirmed, adjustments are made to the production plan as necessary. If a customer cancels pending purchase orders or terminates or reduces purchase orders in progress, such customer is liable for cancellation charges which, depending on the timing of such cancellation, are equal to the relevant Delta Group company’s actual costs for raw materials and components or the value of the
54
semi-finished or finished products, net of any recovery from resales of such materials, components or products.
PRODUCTION
The Delta Group currently has five production plants in Chungli, Taoyuan and Tainan in the ROC, five production plants in Dongguan, Guangdong Province in the PRC and one production zone in Wujiang Municipality in the PRC, and through its affiliates has access to one production plant in Tianjin, the PRC, three production plants in Thailand and one production plant in Mexico. In general, other than some high-cost equipment or production lines such as surface-mounting equipment, the Delta Group’s production plants operate on a two-shift basis. The Company believes that the production plants of the Delta Group have flexible capacity. However, in light of the needs of future growth, the Delta Group intends to continue to increase the production capacity of its production facilities in Wujiang, the PRC and in Mexico.
The basic production processes for the Delta Group’s products consist of surface mounting, automatic insertion, manual insertion, PC board inspection, wave soldering, final assembly, in-circuit tests, burn-in tests and inspection, function testing, final testing and packaging. The Delta Group maintains a team of quality control staff whose duty is to monitor design and production processes in order to ensure high quality. These employees include line inspectors who work with members of the production staff to conduct examination and testing during the production process.
Each of the companies within the Delta Group has set up its quality engineering department to conduct quality review at the design stage. The Delta Group’s quality engineers and manufacturing engineers are highly involved during the product design stage to evaluate the quality, reliability and manufacturing feasibility of the products. Before mass production, reliability tests are conducted to ensure satisfactory performance during the designed useful life spans of such products.
Most of the Delta Group’s products are approved for self-test and certification by UL under TCP and CSA and are tested by the Delta Group’s automatic testing system to help ensuring their effectiveness and reliability. The Delta Group’s plants in the ROC and the production plants in Dongguan and Wujiang in the PRC are all ISO-9001 and ISO-14001 certified. The ISO is an organisation formed by delegates from member countries to establish international quality assurance standards for engineering and manufacturing processes. The ISO standards have been adopted by more than 60 countries. The certification process involves subjecting the production processes and the quality management systems at the relevant Delta Group company’s factories to review and surveillance for various periods. The ISO certifications also provide independent verification to customers as to the quality standards in the relevant Delta Group company’s manufacturing processes.
DISTRIBUTION
The Delta Group controls and manages its global logistics network (comprising 16 production facilities and 69 logistic hubs around the globe) through one of the world’s most advanced SAP business management systems. The SAP systems enable the Delta Group to integrate its production, inventory, order fulfilment and warehouse facilities to respond to the needs of its global customer in a timely and cost effective manner.
The Delta Group generally distributes its ODM and OEM products directly to customers from its manufacturing facilities. The Delta Group uses third party commercial freight delivery services or other delivery methods selected in consultation with its customers. The Delta Group has not experienced difficulties in meeting its customers’ needs in the past. To better serve certain customers, the Delta Group produces particular ODM or OEM products at factories which are located near those customers’ own production facilities. The Delta Group considers its customers’ and potential customers’ requirements when selecting sites for its factories.
55
In recent years, the Delta Group has established “just-in-time” warehouse facilities (“hubs”) near the customers’ own production facilities. It has been the Delta Group’s practice to lease space in commercial warehouse facilities rather than to establish its own warehouses. To date, the Delta Group has established 69 logistic hubs worldwide to support the needs of its global customers.
A portion of the Delta Group’s sales consists of its own branded products. Such products are mostly sold to customers through third party distributors. A small percentage of the Delta Group’s ownbranded products are also distributed to its sales and service centers throughout the world, in order to have immediately available supplies of certain products to better serve its customers’ needs.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
A number of elements of the Delta Group’s products and technological processes are proprietary in nature, and are owned by the Delta Group or utilised under licence from third parties. As of June 30, 2003, the Company held a total of 764 patent registrations. Patents for various products and technologies have been approved in countries which include one or more of the ROC, Japan, the PRC, Germany and the United States. Most of the Company’s current patents expire between 2003 and 2021.
Seeking patent protection can be expensive and time consuming. There can be no assurance that patents will be issued from pending or future applications or that, if patents are issued, they will provide meaningful protection or other commercial advantages to the Company. Moreover, there can be no assurance that any patent rights will be upheld in the future or that the Company will be able to preserve any of its other intellectual property rights. Nonetheless, the Company generally seeks patent protection on any new inventions, product improvements or technology developed by its employees. In recent years the number of patents sought and obtained by the Company has increased, reflecting its increased investment in research and development of new technology. As of June 30, 2003, the Company also had over 1344 patent applications pending in various jurisdictions, including but not limited to the ROC, Japan, the PRC and the United States.
The Company has registered 10 trademarks and has one pending trademark applications in the ROC. In addition, the Company has registered seven trademarks in a number of North American, European and Asian countries. The trademarks are designated for use on the Delta Group’s products, including power-related products, video display products and electronic components.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company believes that research and development is critical to the future success of the Delta Group and it is committed to devoting increasing efforts in research and development. The Company believes that 90% of the technology currently owned by the Delta Group was developed inhouse. Aggregate annual research and development expenditures by the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries increased from approximately NT$2,326 million in 2001 to approximately NT$2,764 million in 2002. For the three months ended 31 March 2003, expenditures by the Company on research and development totalled NT$513 million on a non-consolidated basis. The Company expects that its R&D expenditures for 2003 will remain at similar level as in 2002.
The Delta Group carries out its research and development activities at three levels:
Corporate Level
The Delta Group and its affiliates have 15 research and development laboratories worldwide (ten in Asia, four in the United States and one in Europe). At the corporate level, these R&D laboratories focus on long term research projects which are of strategic importance to the future growth of the Delta Group. For instance, Delta Power Electronics Center in Shanghai concentrates on research and development of advanced power systems whilst Delta Communication Laboratory in Raleigh, North Carolina focuses on research and development of wireless communications and the Corporate Research & Development Center of the Company in Taipei, Taiwan focuses on research and development of
56
MEMs, speech technology and optoelectronics. This research capacity is augmented by the Delta Group’s participation in various campus research programmes and fellowship and scholarship endowments. The Delta Group has for many years maintained research collaborations with leading universities such as MIT and Virginia Polytechnic University in the United States, National Tsing Hua University and National Central University in the ROC and Xian Chiaotung University and Zhejiang University in the PRC. These programmes enables the Delta Group to keep abreast of latest technology development trends and leverage on existing research resources of these research institutions.
Business Unit Level
Each of the business units within the Delta Group has its own group of engineers who focus on product development for each individual business unit in the premises of the Delta Group in the ROC, the PRC, Hong Kong, the United States and Europe. Each of the business units within the Delta Group also has a special automation engineering department responsible for manufacturing automation and process improvement. Each business unit conducts a five-step development procedure for each new product before it commences commercial production. First, based on the market survey and specific requirements of customers, the research and development department conducts product planning. Second, based on the product plans, the relevant company’s engineers develop design and manufacturing concepts and an estimated schedule for the product development. Third, the design engineers create engineering samples, which involves design and simulation, component selection, sample building and testing, design review, reliability testing and manufacturability review. Fourth, the production unit starts a pilot run of the new product, during which the products are subject to continuous review and testing. Finally, the relevant company’s production personnel complete their pre-production preparation and the product is then ready for commercial production.
Consumer Level
For those products custom-made to meet client specifications, such as telecom power systems, the Delta Group has dedicated teams of engineers located close to major customer sites who work closely with those customers in refining product specifications and developing new products. The Delta Group has more than 1500 engineers engaged in product design, automation and quality assurance.
Presently, the Delta Group focuses on developing high value-added new products, such as optical components, advanced power systems, magnetic, IC, thermal control, wireless communication equipment and video displays, as well as remodelling and upgrading existing products. Two challenging new fields are MEMs and speech technology which the Delta Group believes will complement the products which it presently offers to customers.
SUPPLY OF COMPONENTS, RAW MATERIALS AND ENERGY
Components and raw materials
Certain of the Delta Group’s products, such as power-related products, video display products, networking products and components, AC motor drives and other electromechanical products, utilise electronic components produced by the Delta Group, such as magnetics, transformers and brushless DC fans and spindle motors. This vertical integration reduces the Delta Group’s reliance on external components and raw materials suppliers.
The Company purchases approximately 80% of its components and raw materials from external suppliers. Principal components and raw materials include semiconductors, PC boards, cores, ICs, capacitors, wires, metal and plastic casing, CRTs, LCD flat panels and batteries. In general, the Delta Group purchases these components and raw materials from multiple suppliers pursuant to purchase orders. However, the Delta Group purchases certain specific types of semiconductors from single sources because such sources are currently the only ones available. The Delta Group is also particularly
57
dependent on outside suppliers of LCD and other flat panel displays used in certain of its video display products under development. The Company believes that the Delta Group’s relations with its principal suppliers are good.
The Delta Group generally keeps 7 to 15 days supply of components and raw materials in stock so that its production will not be interrupted by temporary shortages. In the event any of the single source suppliers continues to fail to provide adequate supply, the Company believes that its design engineers will at times be able to redesign the specific product, or work with other producers to assist them to produce the same components, so as to mitigate reliance on the single source suppliers involved. In addition, the Company believes that to the extent that the Delta Group continues to gain greater market share, its suppliers will desire to maintain a close business relationship with the Delta Group in order to gain their own substantial market shares in component supply. For certain components such as power semiconductors and cores, the Company believes that the Delta Group is one of the largest customers to its suppliers and therefore has certain advantages in terms of bargaining power. The Company believes that as a result of these factors, it was able to control its material costs and achieved overall cost reduction in 2002, notwithstanding the increase in the prices of electronic components and raw materials worldwide.
EMPLOYEES
As of 30 June 2003, the Company and its principal subsidiaries had in aggregate approximately 30000 employees, of whom approximately 5000 were executive officers and administrators, approximately 7000 were engineers and technicians and approximately 18000 were operators of machinery and equipment.
The future success of the Delta Group will depend, in part, on its ability to continue to attract and retain highly qualified technical, marketing, engineering and management personnel. See “Risk factors — Factors related to the Delta Group and its business — Dependence on qualified personnel”. The Company has established a development strategy to transfer the most labour intensive production lines to areas outside the ROC such as the PRC. The Company has not experienced any strikes or significant work stoppages and believes that its employee relations are very good.
The Company believes that its management policies, working environment and the employee development opportunities and benefits it extends to employees have contributed to good employee relations and employee retention. Employee benefits include subsidised meals and housing, health insurance, life insurance, safety insurance education/training subsidies and employee bonuses, which customarily involve distributions in the form of Shares. See “Dividends”.
The Company maintains a defined benefit employee retirement plan (the “Plan”) covering all of its regular employees. Benefits under the Plan are generally determined based upon years of credited service, age at retirement and average compensation. The Company has been contributing to an independent retirement trust fund since 1986. As approved by the ROC government, the Company suspended contributions to the independent retirement trust fund in November 1990. The Company resumed contributing to the fund at a fixed rate equal to 2% of monthly salaries and wages from July 1999. Neither DNH nor DIH maintains an employee retirement plan. The subsidiary of DNI Cayman, DNI, has contributed 2% of monthly salaries and wages of its employees to its employee retirement plan since January 1999. Each of DIH’s subsidiaries located in the PRC maintains a defined benefit employee retirement plan covering all of its employees, under which its employees contribute to a separate fund an amount based on a certain percentage of their monthly basic salary, while the relevant subsidiary also contributes the same amount as pension reserve. The trust fund assets and the contribution from employees (if any) are not reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The provision for pension cost is determined by actuarial valuation. Based on a recent actuarial report, the Company believes that the current fund assets are adequate.

59
LITIGATION
As is the case with many companies in the electronic component and devices industry, the Company from time to time receives communications from third parties asserting patent rights to the Company’s products and enters into discussions with such third parties as to their respective positions and the terms of any possible licenses in respect of such patent rights. Irrespective of the validity or the successful assertion of such claims, the Company could incur significant costs with respect to the defense thereof. Currently, the Company is involved in, or is aware of several threatened or pending legal proceedings against the Company or its Chairman but none of these is considered by it to be material.
INSURANCE
The Delta Group’s ROC and PRC facilities maintain property damage and business interruption insurance policies with insurance carriers in respect of buildings, equipment and certain inventories covering losses due to any accidental destruction or damage (subject to certain specific exclusions). The Company considers such insurance coverage to be adequate and in accordance with customary industry practice in the relevant locations.
60
Board of Directors and Management
The Board of Directors has ultimate responsibility for the management of the business and affairs of the Company. Members of the Board of Directors of the Company are elected by the stockholders of the Company. As of June 30, 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors is composed of nine directors. In addition, the Company two supervisors. The directors of the Company are serving three-year terms. Directors may serve consecutive terms and may be removed from office at any time by a resolution adopted at a general meeting of shareholders. Normally, all board members are elected at the same time, except where the posts of one-third or more of the directors are vacant, at which time a special meeting of shareholders will be convened to elect directors to fill the vacancies.
In accordance with ROC Company Law, supervisors are elected by the shareholders of the Company and cannot concurrently serve as directors, executive officers or other staff members of the Company. The Company currently has two supervisors, each of whom serves a three-year term. The supervisors’ duties and powers include, but are not limited to, investigation of the condition of the Company’s business, inspection of the Company’s corporate records, verification and review of financial statements presented by the Board of Directors, calling of shareholders’ meetings, representation of the Company in negotiations with its directors and giving notification, when appropriate, to the Board of Directors to cease acting in contravention of applicable law or regulation or in contravention of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or the resolution of shareholders’ meeting.

Description of the Common Shares
The following is a summary of certain provisions of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”), the ROC Securities and Exchange Law (the “Securities and Exchange Law”) and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the Company Law, all as currently in effect.
GENERAL
The Company’s authorized share capital is 1,680,000,000 Common Shares with a par value of NT$10 per Share of which 60,000,000 Common Shares have been reserved for exercise of warrants, preferred shares with warrants and bonds with warrants. The Company has capital of NT$14,802,730,000, representing common shares of 1,480,273,000 in registered form issued and outstanding as of July 8, 2003. Save as disclosed in this Offering Circular, no person has been granted any preferential right to subscribe for common shares in the Company.
The Company Law and the Securities and Exchange Law provide that any change in the issued share capital of a public company, such as the Company, requires approval of the Board of Directors, an amendment to its articles of incorporation (if it also involves a change in the authorized share capital of the public company which requires stockholder approval), and, in general, the approvals of the ROC SFC and the MOEA.
DIVIDENDS
Under the Company Law, except under certain limited circumstances, a ROC company is not permitted to distribute dividends or make any other distributions to stockholders at any time other than when it is generating net profits (“Earnings”). Before distributing a dividend or making any other distribution to stockholders from Earnings, a company must first apply such Earnings to its losses suffered in previous years, if any, pay all outstanding taxes and set aside the legal reserve referred to below.
Following approval of the financial statements, for the preceding fiscal year by the stockholders in an annual stockholders’ meeting, dividends are, unless otherwise stipulated under that company’s articles of incorporation, distributed in proportion to the number of shares owned by each stockholder as listed on the register of stockholders as at the relevant record date determined by the Board of Directors (“Annual Dividends”). Annual Dividends may be distributed either in cash or in the form of common shares or a combination thereof. The ratio between any cash dividend and stock dividend is proposed by the Board of Directors and is determined by the stockholders at a stockholders’ meeting. The practice of the Company during the past years with respect to the payment of cash dividends and stock dividends is referred to above in the section headed “Dividends”
The Company Law provides that a company is required to set aside a legal reserve in an amount equal to 10% of its Earnings (less losses, if any, suffered in previous years and applicable income taxes) until such time as its legal reserve equals its capital. The Articles further provide that, after paying all income taxes in accordance with ROC law, recovering any past losses, deducting the legal reserve and special reserve, if necessary, the remaining portion of Earnings together with the undistributed retained earning of the previous fiscal years may be allocated (subject to proposal by the Board of Directors and approval by stockholders) as follows:
-
(i) no more than 1% for remuneration to directors and supervisors;
-
(ii) at least 3% for employee bonuses; and
63
(iii) the balance thereof will be allocated for bonuses to stockholders, however, the bonuses distributed to stockholders above shall be in the amount at least 50% of the remaining Earnings, among which at least 5% shall be represented in the form of cash dividend.
DISTRIBUTION OF ADDITIONAL SHARES
In addition to dividends paid out of Earnings of a company, the Company Law also permits a company to make distributions to stockholders in the form of additional shares from reserves (including its legal reserve referred to above, any special reserve and capital reserve). However, in the case of distributions out of its legal reserve, the amount payable is limited to 50% of the total accumulated legal reserve and only if the accumulated legal reserve exceeds 50% of the capital of the company. (For information as to ROC taxes on cash and stock dividends, see “Taxation – ROC Taxation of NonResidents”.)
PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS AND ISSUE OF ADDITIONAL COMMON STOCK
The Company Law provides that between 10% and 15% of any new issue of shares of capital stock sold for cash must be offered first to the issuing company’s employees. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Law and the relevant securities regulations require that, if a public company listed on the TSE or whose shares are traded on the Gre Tai Securities Market intends to offer new shares for cash, at least 10% of such issue must be offered to the public except under certain circumstances or when exempted by the ROC SFC. This percentage can be increased by a resolution passed at a stockholders’ meeting, thereby reducing the number of new shares subject to the pre-emptive rights of existing stockholders. Unless the percentage of shares to be offered to the public is increased by stockholders, existing stockholders who are listed on the stockholders’ register as of the record date have a preemptive right to acquire the remaining 75% to 80% of the issue. The shares not subscribed for by the employees and stockholders at the expiration of the period for the exercise of their rights may be sold at the discretion of the Board of Director of the Company (subject to ROC law) to the public or specific persons. The pre-emptive rights provisions will not apply to offering of new shares through a private placement approved at a shareholders’ meeting.
MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS
The ordinary meeting of stockholders of the Company is usually held in Taoyuan, Taiwan, ROC, as determined by the Board of Directors, within the six months of the end of previous fiscal years. Extraordinary meetings of stockholders may be convened by resolution of the Board of Directors whenever they consider it necessary or by stockholders under certain circumstances. Extraordinary meetings of stockholders may also be convened by Supervisor of the Company. Notice in writing of ordinary and extraordinary stockholders’ meetings stating the place, time and purpose thereof must be dispatched to each stockholder of the Company at least 30 days and 15 days, respectively, prior to the date set for the meeting.
VOTING RIGHTS
A holder of common shares has one vote for each share of common stock. Except as otherwise provided by law, a stockholders’ resolution is passed or adopted if voted in favor by the majority present at a stockholders’ meeting at which a quorum is present (being holders of more than 50% of the issued and outstanding common stock present in person or by proxy). Election of Directors and Supervisors by stockholders is carried out on a cumulative voting basis.
When one company and another company hold more than one-third of the total outstanding shares in each other, the votes cast by one company in the shareholders’ meeting of the other company
64
shall not exceed one-third of the total number of the voting shares (or one third of the total amount of the equity capital of the other company), in case that both companies are aware of the fact of such relationship, provided, however, that such limitation will not apply to the votes of new shares issued by way of the capitalization of the retained earnings or the legal reserves.
Notwithstanding the above, in order to approve certain major corporate actions, including any amendment to the Articles (which is required for, inter alia, any increase in authorized share capital), the dissolution or amalgamation of a company, the transfer of all or an important part of its business or its properties, the taking over of the whole of the business or properties of any other company which would have a significant impact on the acquiring company’s operations, or the distribution of any stock dividend, the Company Law provides that a resolution has to be passed at a meeting of the stockholders with a quorum of holders of at least two-thirds of all issued and outstanding common stock at which the majority present vote in favor thereof. Alternatively, in the case of a public company, such as the Company, such a resolution may be approved by the holders of at least two-thirds of the common stock represented at a meeting of stockholders with a quorum of holders of at least a majority of issued and outstanding common stock.
A stockholder may be represented at an ordinary or extraordinary meeting by proxy. A valid proxy form must be delivered to the Company at least five days prior to the date fixed for the ordinary or extraordinary meeting.
REGISTRATION OF STOCKHOLDERS AND RECORD DATES
The Company maintains the register of stockholders of the Company at its office in Taipei, Taiwan, ROC, and enters transfers of Common Shares in the register of stockholders upon presentation of the certificates in respect of the Common Shares transferred accompanied by other required documents.
As mentioned above, the record date for an Annual Dividend will be determined and announced by the Company. For the purpose of determining the holders of common shares entitled to Annual Dividends and other rights pertaining to the common shares, the Company shall, by giving advance public notice, set a record date and close the register of stockholders for a specified period (sixty days, thirty days and five days immediately before the date of the ordinary stockholders’ meeting, each extraordinary stockholders’ meeting and the record date, respectively).
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Under the Company Law, ten days before the ordinary stockholders’ meeting, the Company’s annual audited financial statements must be available at the principal office of the Company in Taipei for inspection by the stockholders.
TRANSFERS OF COMMON STOCK
Under the Company Law, the transfer of common stock (in registered form) is effected by endorsement of the transferor’s seal or chop on the back of the relevant share certificate and delivery of such share certificate to the transferee. In order to assert stockholders’ rights against the Company, the transferee must have his name and address registered on the Company’s register of stockholders. Stockholders are required to register their respective specimen seal or chop with the Company. The settlement of trading of the common stock is normally carried out on the book-entry system maintained by Taiwan Securities Central Depository Co., Ltd.
65
TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS
The Company’s directors, supervisors, managers and shareholders holding more than 10% of the Company’s shares are required to report any changes in their shareholding to the Company on a monthly basis. In addition, the number of shares that they can sell or transfer on the Taiwan Stock Exchange on a daily basis is limited by ROC law. Further, they may sell or transfer the Company’s shares on the Taiwan Stock Exchange only after reporting to the ROC SFC at least three days before the transfer, provided that such reporting is not required if the number of shares transferred does not exceed 10,000.
ACQUISITION BY THE COMPANY OF ITS OWN COMMON STOCK
With minor exceptions, the Company cannot acquire its own common stock. Under the ROC Company Law, any shares purchased by the company must be sold at the current market price within 6 months from the purchase.
Under the ROC Securities and Exchange Law, the Company may, by resolution adopted by a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors at a meeting where more than two-thirds of the directors are present, repurchase the Company’s shares on the Taiwan Stock Exchange or by a tender offer in accordance with the Securities and Futures Commission procedures for the following purposes:
-
for delivery upon conversion of bonds with warrants, preferred shares with warrants, convertible bonds and convertible preferred shares or certificates of warrants issued by the Company into capital stock;
-
to transfer to the Company’s employees; or
-
if necessary, to maintain the Company’s credit and the Company shareholders’ equity, provided that the shares so repurchased shall be cancelled thereafter.
The total shares repurchased by the Company may not exceed 10% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding shares. In addition, the total cost of the purchased shares may not exceed the aggregate amount of the Company’s retained earnings, any premium from share issuance and the realized portion of its capital reserve. Common Shares repurchased in the first two instances mentioned above are to be transferred to the intended transferees within three years from the repurchase, failing which they will be cancelled and the Company is required to complete an amended registration for the cancellation. In the third instance mentioned above, the shares repurchased by the Company must be cancelled within six months after the repurchase. The shares repurchased by the Company may not be pledged or hypothecated. In addition, the Company may not exercise any of the shareholder’s rights attached to these shares. The Company’s affiliates, as defined in Article 369-1 of the ROC Company Law, directors, supervisors, managers and their respective spouses and minor children and nominees, are prohibited from selling the Company’s shares until the Company’s repurchase period has lapsed.
LIQUIDATION RIGHTS
In the event of the liquidation of the Company, the assets remaining after payment of all debts, liquidation expenses, taxes and distributions to holders of preference shares, if any, will be distributed pro rata to the stockholders in accordance with the Company Law.

71
(A) Conversion Right
(i) Conversion Period : The right of a Noteholder to convert any Note into Shares (as defined in the Trust Deed) is called the ‘‘Conversion Right’’. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Condition, the Conversion Right attaching to any Note may be exercised, at the option of the holder thereof, so that the Conversion Date (as defined in Condition 5(B)) in respect of such exercise occurs at any time on or after 29 August 2003 and prior to the close of business (at the place where such Note is deposited for conversion) on 30 June 2008 or if such date shall not be a business day at such place, on the immediately preceding business day at such place (but in no event thereafter), or, if such Note shall have been called for redemption prior to 30 June 2008, then up to the close of business (at the place aforesaid) on the date five business days (as defined in Condition 5(B)) prior to the date fixed for redemption thereof or if such date shall not be a business day at such place, on the immediately preceding business day at such place (the ‘‘Conversion Period’’); provided however, that the Conversion Right during any Closed Period shall be suspended and the Conversion Period shall not include any such Closed Period. ‘‘Closed Period’’ shall mean (i) any period during which under the laws of the ROC (as defined in the Trust Deed) the Company shall close its shareholders’ register, which period includes 60 days prior to the date of the annual general meeting of shareholders, 30 days prior to a special shareholders’ meeting, five days prior to a record date or such other periods determined by ROC law applicable from time to time; (ii) the period from the date six (6) Trading Days (as defined in Condition 7(B)) following the Company’s annual general meeting in which annual dividends distribution is approved and declared to the record date (and the relevant closure of the shareholders’ register) for determining the identity of shareholders entitled to receive annual dividend distribution or other rights or benefits in any one year to the date of such record date for that year; (iii) the period from (x) the 15[th] Trading Day before the closure of the Company’s shareholders’ register for the purpose of determining the entitlement of shareholders to subscribe new shares in a rights offering by the Company to (y) the relevant record date for such determination and (iv) such other closed period as may be required by ROC law. The Company shall procure that holders of the Notes are given timely (and if practicable timely prior) notice in accordance with Condition 14, of any Closed Period.
Under current ROC law, regulation and policy, PRC persons are not permitted to hold or convert the Notes or to register as a shareholder of the Company. Under current ROC law, ‘‘PRC person’’ means an individual holding a passport issued by the PRC, a resident of any area of China under the effective control or jurisdiction of the PRC (but not including a special administrative region of the PRC such as Hong Kong or Macau, if so excluded by applicable laws of the ROC), any agency or instrumentality of the PRC and any corporation, partnership or other entity organised under the laws of any such area or controlled or beneficially owned by any such person, resident, agency or instrumentality.
Under current ROC law, a non-ROC converting holder of the Notes when exercising his conversion right to convert the Notes into Shares is required to appoint a local agent also referred to as a Tax Guarantor, in the ROC to file tax returns and make tax payments on its behalf. A non-ROC converting holder is also required to appoint a local agent in the ROC with such qualifications as are set by the ROC SFC, to open a securities trading account with a local brokerage firm and a New Taiwan dollar bank account, pay ROC withholding taxes, remit funds, exercise shareholders’ rights and perform such other matters as may be designated by such converting holder of the Notes on behalf of and as agent for such person. In addition, such non-ROC converting holder of the Notes must also appoint a custodian bank to hold the securities and cash proceeds for safekeeping, to make confirmation and settlement, and report all relevant information. Under existing ROC laws and regulations, without such accounts, such converting holder of the Notes would not be able to hold or to sell or otherwise transfer the Shares into which the Notes may have been converted, on the TSE or otherwise.
(ii) Number of Shares issuable on conversion : The number of Shares to be issued upon conversion of any Note will be determined by dividing the principal amount of the Note (translated into New Taiwan dollars at the fixed rate of NT$34.35 = US$1.00) by the Conversion Price (as hereinafter
72
defined) in effect on the Conversion Date. If more than one Note shall be deposited for conversion at any one time by the same holder of the Notes, the number of Shares to be issued upon conversion thereof will be calculated on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes so deposited. Fractions of Shares will not be issued on conversion, and cash adjustments will not be made in respect thereof by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a consolidation or reclassification of Shares by operation of law or otherwise occurring after 10 July 2003, the Company will upon conversion of the Notes pay in US dollars a sum equal to such portion of the principal amount of the Notes deposited for conversion as corresponds to any fraction of a Share not issued as aforesaid if such sum exceeds US$10. For the purpose of calculating the amount of such payment, the Company shall use the exchange rate referred to above in this Condition 5(A)(ii).
(iii) Initial Conversion Price : The price at which Shares will be issued upon conversion (the ‘‘Conversion Price’’) will initially be NT$55 per Share, but will be subject to adjustment in the manner provided in Conditions 5(C) and 5(D).
(iv) Revival on default : Notwithstanding the provisions of Condition 5(A)(i), if the Company shall default in making payment in full in respect of any Note which shall have been called for redemption prior to 30 June 2008 or the date fixed for redemption thereof, the Conversion Right attaching to such Note will continue to be exercisable up to and including the close of business (at the place where the Note is deposited for conversion) on the date upon which the full amount of the monies payable in respect of such Note has been duly received by the Trustee or the Principal Agent and notice of such receipt has been duly given to the holders of the Note.
(B) Conversion Procedure
(i) Exercise Procedure : To exercise the Conversion Right attaching to any Note, the holder thereof must complete, execute and deposit at his own expense between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm on any business day during the Conversion Period at the specified office of a Conversion Agent outside the ROC at which the Note is presented for conversion a notice of conversion (a ‘‘Conversion Notice’’) in duplicate, duly completed and signed, in the then current form obtainable from the specified office of any Conversion Agent, together with the Certificate relating to the relevant Notes and any certificates and other documents as may be required under the law of the ROC or the jurisdiction in which such Conversion Agent shall be located. The Conversion Notice shall contain, inter alia , an appointment of a local agent. A Conversion Notice once deposited may not be withdrawn without the consent in writing of the Company. The price at which such Note will be converted will be the Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date.
Noteholders who deposit a Conversion Notice during a Closed Period will not be permitted to convert their Notes until the Trading Day following the last day of the Closed Period which (if all other conditions to convert have been fulfilled) will be the Conversion Date for such Notes. Such Noteholders will not be registered as holders of Shares until the Conversion Date.
For the purposes of this Condition 5, ‘‘business day’’ shall mean a day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which commercial banks are open for business in London and the city in which the specified office of the Conversion Agent with whom a Conversion Notice is deposited in connection with the conversion is located.
(ii) Taxes and Expenses; Deposit Date and Conversion Date : Together with the Conversion Notice, the holder of the Note must pay to the relevant Conversion Agent all stamp, issue, registration and similar taxes and duties (if any) arising on conversion in the country in which the Note is deposited for conversion, or payable in any jurisdiction consequent upon the issue or delivery of Shares or any other property or cash upon conversion to or to the order of a person other than the converting holder of the Note. Except as aforesaid, the Company will pay the expenses arising in the ROC on the issue of Shares on conversion of the Note and all charges of the Conversion Agents in connection therewith as
73
provided in the Agency Agreement. The date on which any Note and the Conversion Notice (in duplicate) relating thereto are deposited with a Conversion Agent and the payments, if any, required to be paid by the holder of the Note are made is hereinafter referred to as the ‘‘Deposit Date’’. The ‘‘Conversion Date’’ applicable to a Note shall mean the next day following the Deposit Date, which day both is a Trading Day (as defined in Condition 7(B)) and occurs during the Conversion Period.
(iii) Holder of record : With effect from the opening of business in the ROC on the Conversion Date, the Company will deem the converting holder of the Notes as indicated in the Conversion Notice to have become the holder of record of the number of Shares to be issued upon such conversion (disregarding any retroactive adjustment of the Conversion Price referred to below prior to the time such retroactive adjustment shall have become effective) and at such time, subject to Condition 5(B)(v), the rights of such converting holder of the Notes as a holder of the Notes with respect to the Notes deposited for conversion shall cease (except rights arising under Conditions 5(B)(iv) and 5(B)(vi)).
(iv) Availability of Shares : The Company shall, for the benefit of holders of the Notes, ensure that sufficient Shares, which are listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (“TSE”), are available as soon as possible and in any event within five Trading Days (or such number of Trading Days as stipulated by the relevant laws and regulations applicable from time to time) after the applicable Conversion Date.
(v) Delivery of Shares : On the Conversion Date the Company will register the converting holder of the Notes in the Company’s register of shareholders as the owner of the number of Shares to be issued pursuant to Condition 5(B)(iii) upon conversion of such Notes and, subject to any applicable limitations then imposed by ROC laws and regulations, the Company shall deliver in accordance with the Trust Deed and a request made in the relevant Conversion Notice as soon as practicable, and in any event within five Trading Days (subject to applicable law) following the Conversion Date, for the benefit of the converting holder, the following:
-
(a) the relevant Shares, through book-entry transfer to an account registered in the name of the converting holder or its designee at Taiwan Securities Central Depositary Co., Ltd.; and
-
(b) any other property or cash (including, without limitation, cash payable pursuant to Condition 5(A)(ii)) required to be delivered upon conversion; and
-
(c) such assignments and other documents (if any) as may be required by law to effect the delivery thereof.
(vi) Retroactive adjustment of Conversion Price : If the Conversion Date in relation to any Note shall be on or after a date with effect from which an adjustment to the Conversion Price takes retroactive effect pursuant to any of the provisions referred to in Condition 5(C) and the Trust Deed and the relevant Conversion Date falls on a date when the relevant adjustment has not been reflected in the Conversion Price, Clause 5(B)(v) shall be applied mutatis mutandis to such number of Shares as is equal to the excess of the number of Shares that would have been required to be issued on conversion of such Note if the relevant retroactive adjustment had been made as at the said Conversion Date over the number of Shares previously issued pursuant to such conversion, and in such event and in respect of such number of Shares references in Condition 5(B)(iii) and (v) to the Conversion Date shall be deemed to refer to the date upon which such retroactive adjustment becomes effective (disregarding the fact that it becomes effective retroactively). Fractions of Shares will not be issued and no cash adjustment will be made in respect thereof.
(vii) Dividends and other entitlements : To the extent permitted under the laws of the ROC, Shares received by the converting Noteholders will be entitled to the annual dividend distributions or other benefits accruing to such Shares and approved by the immediately preceding annual general meeting of shareholders if the Conversion Date in respect of the conversion of such Notes is on a day which is at least three Trading Days prior to the Company’s notification to the TSE in respect of a record
74
date (and the relevant closure of the shareholders’ register) for determining the identity of shareholders who are entitled to such distributions in that year, and if any of those three Trading Days falls within a Closed Period, such Conversion Date is on or before the Trading Day immediately preceding the commencement of the relevant Closed Period. The Company shall give the Noteholders not less than 14 days’ prior notice of its intention to make such notification to the TSE, which notice shall indicate the proposed date of such notification to the TSE.
(viii) Conversion Agents : The Company reserves the right, subject to the provisions of the Agency Agreement, at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Conversion Agent and to appoint further or other Conversion Agents, provided that the Company will at all times maintain Conversion Agents having specified offices in London and, so long as the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of the exchange so require, in Luxembourg also. Notice of any such termination or appointment and of any changes in the specified offices of the Conversion Agents will be given promptly by the Company to the holders of the Notes in accordance with Condition 14.

(c) in the case of the issue (whether initially or upon the exercise of rights or warrants) of securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares, the aggregate consideration receivable by the Company shall be deemed to be the consideration received by the Company for such securities and (if applicable) rights or warrants plus the additional consideration (if any) to be received by the Company upon (and assuming) the conversion or exchange of such securities at the initial conversion or exchange price or rate and (if applicable) the exercise of such rights or warrants at the initial subscription or purchase price (the consideration in each case to be determined in the same manner as provided in (a) and (b) above) and the consideration per Share receivable by the Company shall be such aggregate consideration divided by the number of Shares to be issued upon (and assuming) such conversion or exchange at the initial conversion or exchange price or rate and (if applicable) the exercise of such rights or warrants at the initial subscription or purchase price;
-
(d) in the case of the issue of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Shares, the aggregate consideration receivable by the Company shall be deemed to be the consideration received by the Company for any such rights or warrants plus the additional consideration to be received by the Company upon (and assuming) the exercise of such rights or warrants at the initial subscription or purchase price (the consideration in each case to be determined in the same manner as provided in (a) and
83
(b) above) and the consideration per Share receivable by the Company shall be such aggregate consideration divided by the number of Shares to be issued upon (and assuming) the exercise of such rights or warrants at the initial subscription or purchase price;
-
(e) if any of the consideration referred to in any of the preceding paragraphs of this Condition 5(C)(xiii) is receivable in a currency other than NT dollars, such consideration shall (in any case where there is a fixed rate of exchange between the NT dollar and the relevant currency for the purposes of the issue of the Shares, the conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of such rights or warrants) be translated into NT dollars for the purposes of this Condition 5(C)(xiii) at such fixed rate of exchange and shall (in all other cases) be translated into NT dollars at the mean of the exchange rate quotations (being quotations for the cross rate through US dollars if no direct rate is quoted) by a leading bank in the ROC for buying and selling spot units of the relevant currency by telegraphic transfer against NT dollars on the date as of which the said consideration is required to be calculated as aforesaid; and
-
(f) in the case of the issue of Shares (including, without limitation, to employees under any employee dividend or profit sharing arrangements) credited as fully paid out of retained earnings or capitalisation of reserves at their par value, the aggregate consideration receivable by the Company shall be deemed to be zero (and accordingly the number of Shares which such aggregate consideration receivable by the Company could purchase at the relevant Current Market Price per Share shall also be deemed to be zero).
(xiv) Cumulative adjustments : If, at the time of computing an adjustment (the “later adjustment”) of the Conversion Price pursuant to any of Conditions 5(C)(ii), 5(C)(iv), 5(C)(v), 5(C)(vii), 5(C)(viii) and 5(C)(ix), the Conversion Price already incorporates an adjustment made (or taken or to be taken into account pursuant to the proviso to Condition 5(C)(xv)) to reflect an issue of Shares or of securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares or of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Shares or securities, to the extent that the number of such Shares or securities taken into account for the purposes of calculating such adjustment exceeds the number of such Shares in issue at the time relevant for ascertaining the number of outstanding Shares for the purposes of computing the later adjustment, such excess Shares shall be deemed to be outstanding for the purposes of making such computation.
(xv) Minor adjustments : No adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be required if the adjustment would be less than 1 per cent. of the Conversion Price prior to the adjustment; provided that any adjustment which by reason of this Condition 5(C)(xv) is not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account (as if such adjustment had been made at the time when it would have been made but for the provisions of this Condition 5(C)(xv)) in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Condition 5(C) shall be made to the nearest NT$0.01 with NT$0.005 being rounded up to the next NT$0.01.
(xvi) Minimum conversion price : Notwithstanding the provisions of this Condition 5(C), the Conversion Price shall not be reduced below the par value of the Shares (NT$10 at the date hereof) as a result of any adjustment made hereunder unless under applicable law then in effect Notes may be converted at such reduced Conversion Price into legally issued, fully-paid and non-assessable Shares.
(xvii) Reference to “fixed” : Any references in this Condition 5(C) to the date on which a consideration is “fixed” shall, where the consideration is originally expressed by reference to a formula which cannot be expressed as an actual cash amount until a later date, be construed as a reference to the first day on which such actual cash amount can be ascertained.
84
(xviii) Trustee not obliged to monitor : The Trustee shall not be under any duty to monitor whether any event or circumstance has happened or exists within Condition 5(C)(x) and will not be responsible to Noteholders for any loss arising from any failure by it to do so.
(xix) Calculations : All calculations relating to adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be performed by the Auditors (as defined in the Trust Deed), or such other person as shall be nominated by the Company, before notice of any such adjustment is given to Noteholders.
(D) Mergers and disposals
The Company will not merge, amalgamate or consolidate with or into any other corporation or entity (the Company not being the continuing entity) or sell or transfer all, or substantially all, of the assets of the Company, whether as a single transaction or a number of transactions, related or not, to any corporation, entity or person or to one or more members of any group under the common control of any corporation, entity or person unless the Company shall have notified the holders of the Notes of such event in accordance with Condition 14 and the Company and such corporation, entity or person shall have executed a trust deed supplemental to the Trust Deed in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee providing that such corporation, entity or person shall assume the obligations of the Company under the Notes, the Trust Deed and the Agency Agreement and providing that each Note then outstanding shall be convertible into the class and amount of shares and other securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale or transfer by a holder of the number of Shares into which such Notes would have been convertible immediately prior to such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale or transfer (assuming for such purpose that the Notes were convertible at the time of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale or transfer) at the Conversion Price as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the Trust Deed. Such supplemental trust deed will provide for adjustments which will be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in the foregoing provisions to this Condition. The above provisions of this Condition 5(D) will apply in the same way to any subsequent consolidations, amalgamations, mergers, sales or transfers.
(E) Conversion undertakings
(i) Depositary receipts : Subject to the ROC SFCs (as defined in the Trust Deed) separate approval, if required, the Company may, at its option, but is not required to, make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the Notes to be converted into depositary receipts or other scrip evidencing Shares and, subject to the provisions of the Trust Deed, will use its best endeavours to ensure that such arrangements are made in the event that it establishes a depositary receipt facility. Any such arrangements shall be in addition to the provisions of these Conditions relating to conversion into Shares. Any such depositary receipts issuable on conversion of Notes shall, when issued, be listed. As long as the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, the Notes can only be converted into such depositary receipts if the depositary receipts themselves are listed.
The Company has not at the date of this Offering Circular established or authorised the establishment of any depositary receipt facility. Accordingly, conversion into depositary receipts is not currently available. If in the future a depositary receipt facility is established or authorised by the Company, the Company will, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for Shares issued on conversion of Notes to be accepted for deposit (at the option of the converting Noteholder) into such depositary receipt facility, subject always to the terms of such depositary facility, which terms may include certification or other requirements as conditions to the acceptance for deposit of Shares issued on conversion of Notes. The Company will give notice of any such arrangements to Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14. There can be no assurance that the Company will in the future establish or authorise any depositary receipt facility or that any arrangements for the deposit of Shares into such depositary receipt facility would be available to all Noteholders.
85
(ii) Closed Periods : The Company undertakes to ensure that any Closed Period is for as short a period as is reasonably practicable having regard to applicable laws, regulations and practices.

Payment of principal and premium (if any) will be made by transfer to the registered account of the holder of the Notes or by US dollar cheque drawn on a bank in New York City mailed to the registered address of the holder of the Notes if it does not have a registered account. Payments of principal and premium (if any) will only be made after surrender of the relevant Certificate at the specified office of any Agent.
References in these Conditions and the Agency Agreement to principal in respect of a Note shall, where the context so permits, be deemed to include a reference to any premium payable thereon.

(C) Fiscal laws
All payments are subject in all cases to any applicable fiscal or other laws and regulations in the place of payment, but without prejudice to the provisions of Condition 8. No commissions or expenses shall be charged to the holders of the Notes in respect of such payments.
(D) Payment initiation
Where payment is to be made by transfer to a registered account, payment instructions (for value the due date or, if that is not a business day, for value the first following day which is a business day) will be initiated and, where payment is to be made by cheque, the cheque will be mailed on the business day preceding the due date for payment or, in the case of a payment of principal, if later, on the business day on which the relevant Certificate is surrendered at the specified office of an Agent.
(E) Default interest and payment delay
If the Company fails to pay any sum in respect of the Notes when the same becomes due and payable under these Conditions, interest shall accrue on the overdue sum at the Default Interest Rate from the due date (the “ Due Date ”).
Holders of the Notes will not be entitled to any interest or other payment for any delay after the due date in receiving the amount due if the Due Date is not a business day, if the holder of the Notes is late in surrendering its Certificate (if required to do so) or if a cheque mailed in accordance with this Condition arrives after the Due Date for payment.
The “ Default Interest Rate ” shall be the aggregate of 3 per cent per annum and LIBOR as determined by the Principal Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Agency Agreement and the Trust Deed.
(F) Business days
In this Condition, ‘‘ business day ’’ means a day on which commercial banks are open for business in New York City and London and, in the case of the surrender of a Certificate, in the place where the Certificate is surrendered and, for the purposes of Condition 6(E), a day upon which U.S. dollar deposits may be dealt in on the London inter-bank market also.
86
(G) Partial payments
If the amount of principal is not paid in full, the Registrar will annotate the register of holders of the Notes with a record of the amount of principal in fact paid.
7 Redemption, purchase and cancellation
(A) Redemption at maturity
Unless previously redeemed or converted or purchased and cancelled as herein provided, the Company will redeem the Notes at 94.63 per cent. of their principal amount in US dollars on 30 July 2008 (the ‘‘Maturity Date’’). The Notes may be redeemed prior to that date only as provided in paragraphs (B), (C) and (D) below (but without prejudice to Condition 9).
(B) Redemption at the option of the Company
The Notes may be redeemed in whole but not in part at their Early Redemption Amount, in US dollars, at the option of the Company, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the holders of the Notes (which notice shall be irrevocable and published in accordance with Condition 14), (i) at any time after 30 July 2006 and prior to 30 July 2008, provided that the Closing Price of the Shares on the TSE (translated into US dollars at the Prevailing Rate), for a period of 20 consecutive Trading Days, the last of which occurs not more than 10 days prior to the date upon which notice of such redemption is published, is at least 125 per cent. of the Conversion Price of the Notes then in effect (translated into US dollars at a fixed exchange rate of NT$34.35 = US$1.00 (the “Fixed Exchange Rate”)) on each such Trading Day; or (ii) at any time prior to 30 July 2008, if at least 90 per cent. in principal amount of the Notes has already been converted, redeemed or purchased and cancelled. If there shall occur an event giving rise to a change in the Conversion Price during any such 20 consecutive Trading Day period, appropriate adjustments for the relevant days shall be made for the purpose of calculating the Closing Price for such days. If the Closing Price cannot be determined for one or more consecutive Trading Days, such day or days will be disregarded in the relevant calculation and will be deemed not to have existed when ascertaining such 20 consecutive Trading Day period. The ‘‘Prevailing Rate’’ for the translation of the Closing Prices shall be the closing rate for the purchase of US dollars with NT dollars quoted by Taipei Forex Inc. at the close of business on each day of the relevant 20 consecutive Trading Day period.
Provided that the date fixed for redemption under this Condition may not fall within a Closed Period or the period of 15 business days (as defined in Condition 5(B)) following a Closed Period.
The ‘‘Early Redemption Amount’’ of each Note means an amount rounded up to the nearest US cent, determined in accordance with the following formula:
Early Days Outstanding Redemption = US$1,000 + US$1,000 x (redemption price (94.63%) less issue price (100%)) x 1800 Amount
where
‘‘Days Outstanding’’ means the number of days from, and including, 30 July 2003 to, but excluding the date for redemption and/or purchase, calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days consisting of 12 months of 30 days each.
The term ‘‘Trading Day’’ means a day on which the TSE is open for business. For the purposes of this Condition 7(B), the term ‘‘Closing Price’’ for any Trading Day means the last reported transaction price or, if no transaction takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and offered prices of Shares for such day as furnished by a leading independent securities firm licensed to trade on the TSE selected from time to time by the Company for the purpose.
87
Upon the expiry of any such notice, the Company will be bound to redeem the Notes to which such notice relates at the date fixed for redemption.
(C) Redemption for taxation reasons
At any time (but not if notice of redemption under Condition 7(B) has already been given to holders of the Notes), the Company may, having given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the holders of the Notes (which notice shall be irrevocable and given to holders of the Notes in accordance with Condition 14) redeem all but not some only of the Notes at their Early Redemption Amount if (i) the Company satisfies the Trustee immediately prior to the giving of such notice that it has or will become obliged to pay additional amounts as provided or referred to in Condition 8(C) as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of the ROC or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or any change in the general application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after 10 July 2003 and (ii) such obligation cannot be avoided by the Company taking reasonable measures available to it, provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would be obliged to pay such additional amounts were a payment in respect of the Notes then due. Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate signed by two authorised officers of the Company stating that the obligation referred to in (i) above cannot be avoided by the Company taking reasonable measures available to it and the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such certificate as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the condition precedent set out in (ii) above in which event it shall be conclusive and binding on the holders of the Notes. The Notes in respect of which a notice of redemption has been given under Condition 7(B) or 7(D) shall not be affected by any notice given subsequently under this Condition 7(C).
(D) Redemption at the option of holders of the Notes
The Company will, at the option of the holder of any Note, redeem all or some of that holder’s Notes on 30 July 2005 (the ‘‘Put Date’’), at 97.82 per cent. of their principal amount. To exercise such option the holder must deposit the Certificate issued in respect of such Notes with any Agent together with a duly completed redemption notice in the form obtainable from any of the Agents, not more than 60 nor less than 10 days prior to such date. No Notes so deposited may be withdrawn (except as provided in the Agency Agreement) without the prior consent of the Company. Not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice of the commencement of the period for the deposit of Certificates for redemption pursuant to this Condition 7(D) shall be given to the holders of the Notes by the Company in accordance with Condition 14.
(E) Redemption for delisting or material asset transfer
Following the occurrence of a Relevant Event (as defined below), the holder of each Note will have the right at such holder’s option, to require the Company to redeem all or some only of that holder’s Notes on the Relevant Event Redemption Date (as defined below) at their Early Redemption Amount. To exercise such right, the holder of the relevant Note must complete, sign and deposit at the specified office of any Paying Agent a duly completed and signed notice of redemption, in the form for the time being current, obtainable from the specified office of any Paying Agent (the “Relevant Event Redemption Notice”) together with the Certificate evidencing the Notes to be redeemed by not later than 60 days following a Relevant Event, or, if later, 60 days following the date upon which notice thereof is given to Noteholders by the Company in accordance with Condition 14. The “Relevant Event Redemption Date” shall be the 14[th] day after the expiry of such period of 60 days as referred to above.
A Relevant Event Redemption Notice, once delivered, shall be irrevocable and the Company shall redeem the Notes the subject of Relevant Event Redemption Notices delivered as aforesaid on the Relevant Event Redemption Notice delivered as aforesaid on the Relevant Event Redemption Date.
88
The Trustee shall not be required to take any steps to ascertain whether a Relevant Event or any event which could lead to the occurrence of a Relevant Event has occurred.
The Company shall give notice to Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14 by not later than 14 days following the first day on which it becomes aware of the occurrence of a Relevant Event, which notice shall specify the procedure for exercise by holders of their rights to require redemption of the Notes pursuant to this Condition 7(E) and shall give brief details of the Relevant Event.
-
A “Relevant Event” occurs:
-
(i) when the Shares cease to be listed or admitted to trading on the TSE; or
-
(ii) when there is a Material Asset Transfer (as defined below) with respect to the Company;
“Material Asset Transfer” occurs when the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (whether by a single transaction or a number of related or unrelated transactions and whether at one time or over a period of time) sells, transfers, leases out, lends or otherwise disposes of (whether outright, by a sale-and-purchase or sale-and-leaseback arrangement, or otherwise) any part of its assets to any other person (including (in the case of the Company) to any of its Subsidiaries, but excluding (in the case of a Subsidiary) to the Company or another Subsidiary) which, either alone or when aggregated with all other disposals required to be taken into account under this Condition 7(E), could have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined herein) on the Company.
‘Material Adverse Effect” means a material adverse effect on or material adverse change in:
-
(a) the condition (financial or otherwise), assets, operations, prospects or business of the Company or the consolidated condition (financial or otherwise), assets, operations, prospects or business of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole;
-
(b) the ability of the Company to perform and comply with its obligations under the Notes or the Trust Deed; or
-
(c) the validity, legality or enforceability of, or the rights or remedies of the Company under, the Notes or the Trust Deed.
a “person” includes any individual, company, corporation, firm, partnership, joint venture, undertaking, association, organisation, trust, state or agency of a state (in each case whether or not being a separate legal entity) but does not include the Company’s directors or any other governing board and does not include the Company’s majority-owned direct or indirect Subsidiaries.
(F) Purchase
The Company may at any time and from time to time purchase the Notes in the open market or otherwise. The Notes so purchased shall be surrendered to the Principal Agent for cancellation and may not be held and reissued or resold.
(G) Cancellation
All Notes which have been redeemed or converted, or purchased by the Company, shall forthwith be cancelled. Certificates in respect of all Notes cancelled will be forwarded to or to the order of the Principal Agent and such Notes may not be reissued or resold.
(H) Redemption notices; Precedence of notices
All notices to holders of the Notes given by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Condition will specify the date fixed for redemption, the redemption price, the Conversion Price as at the date of the relevant notice, the Closing Price of the Shares and the aggregate principal amount of the Notes
89
outstanding as at the latest practicable date prior to the publication of the notice and, in the case of a partial redemption, a list of the Notes called for redemption (when applicable).
No notice of redemption pursuant to Condition 7(C) shall be effective if it specifies a due date for redemption falling during the period commencing 60 days and ending 30 days (both inclusive) prior to any Put Date (and if given shall not be effective). Any notice of redemption given under Condition 7(C) before any Put Date and specifying a due date for redemption after the 30th day prior to any Put Date shall be without prejudice to the rights of holders of the Notes under Condition 7(D) and shall not apply in respect of any Notes in respect of which the option under Condition 7(D) shall be or has been exercised.
8 Taxation
-
(A) All payments in respect of the Notes shall be made free and clear of and without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of the government of the ROC or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, unless deduction or withholding of such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges is compelled by law.
-
(B) Where such withholding or deduction is in respect of ROC withholding tax on payments of premium at the rate of up to and including 20 per cent., the Company will increase the amount of premium paid by it to the extent required so that the net amount of premium received by the holders of the Notes (without prejudice to Condition 6) amounts to the relevant amount of the premium payable pursuant to Condition 7, in the case of premium (if any).
-
(C) In the event that any such withholding or deductions in respect of principal or any additional withholding or deduction in excess of 20 per cent. in respect of premium (if any) is required, the Company will pay such additional amounts by way of principal and premium (if any) as will result in the receipt by the holders of the Notes of the amounts which would have been receivable in the absence of any such withholding or deduction, except that no such additional amounts shall be payable in respect of any Notes:
-
(i) to, or on behalf of, a holder who is subject to such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges in respect of such Notes by reason of his being connected with the ROC otherwise than merely by holding such Notes or by the receipt of principal or premium (if any), in respect of the Notes; or
-
(ii) if the Certificate in respect of such Notes is surrendered more than 30 days after the relevant date except to the extent that the holder would have been entitled to such additional amount on surrendering the relevant Certificate for payment on the last day of such 30-day period.
For this purpose the ‘‘relevant date’’ in relation to any Notes means (a) the due date for payment in respect thereof, or (b) (if the full amount of the monies payable on such due date has not been received in New York City by the Trustee or the Principal Agent on or prior to such due date) the date on which notice is duly given to the holders of the Notes that such monies have been so received.
- (D) References in these Terms and Conditions to principal and premium shall be deemed also to refer to any increased or additional amounts which may be payable in respect thereof under this Condition.
9 Events of default
The Trustee at its discretion may, and if so requested in writing by the holders of not less than 20 per cent. in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding or if so directed by an Extraordinary Resolution shall (but subject to being indemnified and/or secured by the holders to its satisfaction), give
90

(viii) the Company shall merge, amalgamate or consolidate with any other corporation or entity (with the Company not being the continuing entity), shall sell or dispose of substantially all its business or assets whether as a single transaction or a number of transactions, related or not, to any person without (where so required by the Trustee) obtaining the prior approval by Extraordinary Resolution of the Noteholders and of such person to assume the obligations of the Company under and in respect of the Notes and the Trust Deed; provided that such agreement by such other person shall not be required if such assumption shall be effective by operation of law; or

The quorum at any such meeting for passing an Extraordinary Resolution will be two or more persons holding or representing over 50 per cent. in principal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding or, at any adjourned such meeting, two or more persons being or representing holders of the Notes whatever the principal amount of the Notes so held or represented unless the business of such meeting includes consideration of proposals, inter alia , (i) to modify the maturity date of the Notes or the date for redemption at the option of holders of the Notes, (ii) to reduce or cancel the amount of principal, premium (if any) and/or default interest (if any) payable in respect of the Notes, (iii) to change the currency of payment of the Notes, (iv) to modify or cancel the Conversion Right (except in accordance with Conditions 5(B) and 12(B)) or (v) to modify the provisions concerning the quorum required at any meeting of the holders of the Notes or the majority required to pass an Extraordinary Resolution, in which case the necessary quorum for passing an Extraordinary Resolution will be two or more persons holding or representing in aggregate over two thirds, or at any adjourned such meeting in aggregate over one third, in principal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding. An Extraordinary Resolution passed at any meeting of holders of the Notes will be binding on all holders of the Notes, whether or not they are present at the meeting.
The Trust Deed provides that a written resolution signed by or on behalf of the holders of not less than 90 per cent. of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding shall be as valid and effective as a duly passed Extraordinary Resolution. If any meetings are convened in accordance with this Condition 12(A), the Company shall inform the Luxembourg Stock Exchange as soon as possible.
(B) Modification of Conversion Right
Notwithstanding Condition 12(A)(iv) and (v) above, the Trustee may agree, without the consent of the holders of the Notes, any modification to or variation of the Conversion Rights (including modification of and additions to the declarations and statements to be made by holders of the Notes in a Conversion Notice) which is in its opinion necessary or desirable to effect or facilitate conversion as contemplated in these Conditions and which is not, in the Trustee’s opinion, materially prejudicial to the interests of the holders of the Notes. The Trustee’s agreement may be subject to any condition which the Trustee requires.
If there is any modification in accordance with this Condition 12(B), the Company shall inform the Luxembourg Stock Exchange as soon as possible.
93
(C) Other modifications and waivers
The Trustee may agree, without the consent of the holders of the Notes, to (i) any modification (except as mentioned above) of, or the waiver or authorisation of any breach or proposed breach of, the Notes or the Trust Deed which is not, in the opinion of the Trustee, materially prejudicial to the interests of the holders of the Notes or (ii) any modification of the Notes or the Trust Deed which, in the Trustee’s opinion, is of a formal, minor or technical nature or to correct a manifest error or to comply with mandatory provisions of law. Any such modification, waiver or authorisation will be binding on the holders of the Notes and, unless the Trustee agrees otherwise, any such modification will be notified by the Company to the holders of the Notes as soon as practicable thereafter.

Mutilated or defaced Certificates must be surrendered before replacements will be issued.
14 Notices
All notices to holders of the Notes shall be validly given if published in a leading newspaper having general circulation in London (which is expected to be the Financial Times (London Edition)) and mailed to them at their respective addresses in the register of holders of the Notes maintained by the Registrar and, so long as the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of that exchange so require, published in a leading newspaper having general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort ).

17 Further Issues

18 Governing Law and jurisdiction; third party rights

95
The Global Certificate

Such interests in the Global Certificate will be shown on, and transfer thereof will be effected only through, records maintained by Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg and their respective direct and indirect participants.
The Global Certificate contain provisions which apply to the Notes in respect of which the Global Certificate is issued, some of which modify the Terms and Conditions set out in this Offering Circular. Terms defined in the Terms and Conditions have the same meaning in the paragraphs below. The following is a summary of those provisions:
GENERAL
The Notes will be represented by interests in the Global Certificate which will be deposited with a common depositary for, and registered in the name of a nominee of, Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg (the “Relevant Nominee”) and interests therein will be credited to the securities clearance accounts of the relevant Noteholders with Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg. A beneficial interest in the Global Certificate may at all times be held only through Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg.
The respective nominees Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg are referred to as the “Relevant Nominee”.
ACCOUNTHOLDERS
For so long as any of the Notes is represented by the Global Certificate, each person who is for the time being shown in the records of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg (as the case may be) as the holder of a particular principal amount of such Notes (each an “Accountholder”) (in which regard any certificate or other document issued by Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg (as the case may be) as to the principal amount of such Notes standing to the account of any person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes) shall be treated as the holder of such principal amount of such Notes (and the expression “Noteholders” and references to “holding of Notes” and to “holder of Notes” shall be construed accordingly) for all purposes other than with respect to the payment of principal, premium (if any) and interest on such Notes, the right to which shall be vested, as against the Company, solely in the Relevant Nominee in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Global Certificate and the terms of the Trust Deed. Each Accountholder must look solely to Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg (as the case may be) for its share of each payment made to the Relevant Nominee.
DEFINITIVE CERTIFICATES (“CERTIFICATES”)

In such circumstances, the Company at its own expense will cause sufficient definitive Certificates to be executed and delivered to the Registrar for completion and dispatch to all Noteholders. A person having an interest in a Global Certificate must provide the Registrar with a written order containing instructions and such other information as the Company and the Registrar may require to complete, execute and deliver such definitive Certificates.
96
The Registrar will not register the exchange of interests in a Global Certificate for definitive Certificates for a period of 15 calendar days preceding the due date for any payment of principal in respect of the Notes.
PAYMENTS
Distributions of principal of interest with respect to book-entry interests in the Notes held through Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg will be credited, to the extent received by the Principal Agent to the cash accounts of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg participants in accordance with the relevant system’s rules and procedures.
A record of each payment made will be endorsed on the appropriate schedule to the Global Certificate by or on behalf of the Company and shall be prima facie evidence that payment has been made.
MEETINGS
The registered holder (as defined in the Terms and Conditions) of the Global Certificate will be treated as being two persons for the purposes of any quorum requirements of a meeting of Noteholders and, at any such meeting, as having one vote in respect of each U.S.$1,000 in principal amount of Notes for which the Global Certificate are issued. The Trustee may allow a person with an interest in Notes in respect of which the Global Certificate has been issued to attend and speak at a meeting of Noteholders on appropriate proof of his identity and interest.
CANCELLATION

TRUSTEE’S POWERS
In considering the interests of Noteholders while the Global Certificate is registered in the name of a nominee for a clearing system, the Trustee may, without being obliged to do so, have regard to any information provided to it by such clearing system or its operator as to the identity (either individually or by category) of its accountholders with entitlements to Notes and may consider such interests as if such accountholders were the holders of the Notes.
CONVERSION
Subject to the requirements of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, the Conversion Right attaching to a Note in respect of which the Global Certificate is issued may be exercised by the presentation to or to the order of the Principal Agent of one or more Conversion Notices duly completed by or on behalf of a holder of a book-entry interest in such Note. Deposit of the Global Certificate with the Principal Agent together with the relevant Conversion Notice shall not be required. The exercise of the Conversion Right shall be notified by the Principal Agent to the Registrar and the holders of the Global Certificate.
NOTICES
So long as the Notes are represented by the Global Certificate and the Global Certificate is held on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, notices to Noteholders may be given by delivery of the relevant notice to Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg for communication by it to entitled
97
accountholders in substitution for notification as required by the Terms and Conditions except that so long as the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of that exchange so require, notices shall also be published in a leading newspaper having general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort ).
PUT OPTION

REFERENCES TO EUROCLEAR, CLEARSTREAM AND LUXEMBOURG
Any references to Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg shall, whenever the context so permits, be deemed to include a reference to any additional or alternative clearing system approved by the Company and the Trustee.
98
Taxation
The following discussion is a summary of the material ROC income tax considerations relevant to an investment decision by certain non-ROC holders.
ROC TAXATION
The following summary addresses the principal ROC tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the Notes or the Common Shares to a non-resident individual or non-resident entity that holds such Notes or Common Shares (a "Non-ROC Holder"). "Non-resident individual" (a "Non-ROC Individual Holder") is a foreign national individual who is not physically present in the ROC for 183 days or more during any calendar year in which he or she owns the Notes or the Common Shares and a "nonresident entity" (a "Non-ROC Entity Holder") is a corporation or a non-corporate body that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the ROC for profit-making purposes and does not have a fixed place of business or other permanent establishment in the ROC.
NOTES
Interest
Payments of stated interest or premium (if any) on a Note to a Non-ROC Holder are subject to ROC withholding tax at the rate of 20% at the time of payment..
Sale
Securities transaction tax will be imposed on the transfer of equity securities issued by ROC companies at the rate of 0.3%, which is payable by the seller. However, according to the amended Statute of Upgrading Industries effective on 1 February 2002, no securities transaction tax will be imposed on the transfer of corporate bonds and financial debentures, including the Notes, until 31 December 2009.
However, securities transaction tax, gift tax and/or income tax may be imposed in relation to the converting holder's designation of other persons to be the holder of Common Shares upon conversion of the Notes.
Under current ROC laws, capital gains on transactions of securities issued by ROC companies are exempt from income tax. This exemption applies to capital gains derived from the sale of Notes.
Conversion into Common Shares
ROC law currently provides no specific provisions regarding the ROC income tax consequences of a conversion of Notes into Common Shares or cash. Without further clarification from the ROC tax authorities, it is impossible to conclude with certainty that gain on the conversion of Notes into Common Shares or cash will not be deemed a taxable gain, additional interest income (subject to the 20% withholding tax) or otherwise be subject to other ROC tax.
Transfer of Notes by Non-ROC Holders are regarded as transactions outside the ROC and thus any gains derived therefrom are not subject to ROC income.
Stamp Duty
There is no ROC stamp, issue or registration tax imposed on the delivery of Common Shares upon conversion of the Notes.
99
Common Shares
Dividends
Dividends (whether in cash or shares) declared by the Company out of retained earnings and distributed to a Non-ROC Holder in respect of Common Shares are subject to ROC withholdings tax, currently at the rate of 20%, on the amount of the distribution (in the case of cash dividends) or on the par value of the Common Shares (in the case of stock dividends).
Distributions of Common Shares declared by the Company out of capital reserves are not subject to ROC withholding tax.
Sale
Securities transaction tax will be withheld at the rate of 0.3% of the transaction price upon a sale of Common Shares.
Under current ROC laws, capital gains on transactions in securities issued by ROC companies are exempt from income tax. This exemption applies to capital gains derived from the sale of Common Shares.
Pre-emptive Rights
Distributions of statutory subscription rights for the Common Shares in compliance with the ROC Company Law are not subject to ROC tax. Proceeds derived from sales of statutory subscription rights evidenced by securities are currently exempted from income tax but are subject to securities transaction tax, currently at the rate of 0.3% of the gross sales amount. Proceeds derived from sales of statutory subscription rights which are not evidenced by securities are subject to capital gains tax at the rate of (1) 25% of the gains realized by Non-ROC Entity Holders and (2) 35% of gains realized by Non-ROC Individual Holders. Subject to compliance with ROC laws, the Company has the sole discretion to determine whether statutory subscription rights shall be evidenced by the issuance of securities.
Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax
ROC inheritance tax is payable on any property located within ROC of a deceased Non-ROC individual, and ROC gift tax is payable on any property located within ROC donated by such person. Inheritance tax is payable at rates ranging from 2% of the first NT$0.6 million to 50% of amounts over NT$100 million. Gift tax is payable at rates ranging from 4% of the first NT$0.6 million to 50% of amounts over NT$45 million. Under ROC inheritance and gift tax law, bonds and shares issued by ROC companies are deemed located within the ROC regardless of the location of the owner.
Tax Treaties
The United States does not have an income tax treaty with the ROC. At present, the ROC has income tax treaties with Australia, Gambia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Macedonia, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, Swaziland and Vietnam, which limit the rate of withholding tax on dividends or interest paid with respect to shares or notes in ROC companies. It is unclear whether a Non-ROC Holder will be considered to own Notes or Common Shares for the purposes of such income tax treaties. Accordingly, holders of Notes or Common Shares who are otherwise entitled to the benefits of a relevant income tax treaty should consult their own tax advisors concerning their eligibility for benefits under the treaty with respect to the Notes or Common Shares.
Tax Reform
In order to increase ROC's competitiveness, an amendment to the ROC Income Tax Law (the "Amendment") was enacted on January 1, 1998 to integrate corporate income tax with shareholder dividend tax with the aim of eliminating the double taxation effect for resident shareholders of ROC companies. According to the Amendment, a 10% retained earnings tax is imposed on a company for its
100
after-tax earnings generated after 1 January 1998 which are not distributed in the following year. The retained earnings tax so paid will further reduce the retained earnings available for further distribution. When the Company declares dividends out of the Company's retained earnings, a maximum amount of 10% of the declared dividends will be credited against the ROC 20% withholding tax, so that the actual withholding tax imposed on the Non-ROC Holders may be less than 20%.
101
Underwriting
The Company has entered into a subscription agreement with Goldman Sachs International and other managers named therein (collectively, the “Managers”), dated July 10, 2003 (the “Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which and subject to certain conditions contained in the Subscription Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to the Managers and the Managers agreed, severally but not jointly, to subscribe for, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes set forth opposite their names below:
| Managers Goldman Sachs International ......................................................................................... Barits Securities (Hong Kong) Limited ............................................................................ Total ................................................................................................................................ |
Aggregate Principal Amount of Notes (U.S.$) 170,000,000 15,000,000 185,000,000 |
|---|---|
Under the terms and conditions of the subscription agreement, if the Managers take any of the Notes, then the Managers are obligated to take and pay for all of the Notes.
The Managers initially propose to subscribe for the Notes at a purchase price equals to the offer price indicated on the cover page less the underwriting commission, management commission and selling commission in aggregate of 1% of the principal amount of the Notes subscribed, and offer to resell the Notes to the purchasers at the offer price indicated on the cover page. After the initial offering of the Notes, the Managers may from time to time vary the offering price and other selling terms.
The Company has granted Goldman Sachs International an option which can be exercised, in whole or in part, on one or more occasions, to subscribe for up to a further U.S.$15,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes at any time up to and including the thirtieth day following the Closing Date.
The Company has agreed in the Subscription Agreement that for a period of 90 days from July 10, 2003, it will not, and it will procure that none of Mr. Bruce CH Cheng, Mrs. E-Ying H Cheng, Deico International Limited and Deltron Holding Limited will, directly or indirectly, issue, offer for sale, sell or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction or device which is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the disposition by any person at any time in the future of) any Common Shares or securities of the same class as the Notes or Common Shares (other than pursuant to employee benefits plans or distributions of dividends or employee dividends in the form of Common Shares and other than Common Shares issued upon conversion of the Notes and the Company’s convertible bonds issued prior to the date of this Agreement) or in any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or which carry rights to subscribe or purchase the Notes, Common Shares or securities of the same class as the Notes, Common Shares or other instruments representing interests in the Notes, Common Shares or other securities of the same class as them, or announce or otherwise make public an intention to do any of the foregoing, in any such case without the prior written consent of Goldman Sachs International; provided however, that this undertaking shall not apply to the sale by Mr Bruce CH Cheng and/or Mrs E-Ying H Cheng of up to a total of 40,000,000 Common Shares in the form of global depositary receipts.
The Managers have agreed to reimburse the Company, or pay on behalf of the Company, some of the fees and expenses of the Company in connection with this offering.
102
The Subscription Agreement provides that the Company will indemnify the Managers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. The Subscription Agreement provides that the obligations of the Managers are subject to certain conditions precedent, and entitles the Managers to terminate it in certain circumstances prior to payment being made to the Company. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Managers against certain liabilities in connection with the offer and sale of the Notes.
In connection with the offering, Goldman Sachs International, on behalf of the Managers, is permitted to engage in certain transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the Notes and the Common Shares. Such transactions may consist of sales, bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the Notes and the Common Shares.
The Managers or their affiliates may purchase the Notes for their own account and enter into transactions, including (i) credit derivatives including asset swaps, repackaging and credit default swaps relating to the Notes and/or our company’s securities or (ii) equity derivatives and stock loan transactions relating to the Common Shares at the same time as the offer and sale of the Notes or in secondary market transactions. Such transactions would be carried out as bilateral trades with selected counterparties and separately from any existing sale or resale of the Notes to which this offering circular relates (notwithstanding that such selected counter-parties may also be purchasers of the Notes). Certain of the Managers or their affiliates have purchased and been allocated Notes for asset management and/or proprietary purposes and not with a view to distribution. Such purchases in aggregate accounted for less than 15% of the overall offering size.
The Managers may create a short position in the Notes in connection with this offering. If the Managers create a short position in the Notes in connection with this offering (i.e., if they sell a greater principal amount of Notes than the principal amount of Notes set forth on the cover page of the offering memorandum), the Managers may reduce that short position by purchasing Notes in the open market. The Managers also may elect to reduce any short position by exercising all or part of their option to increase the size of the Offering described herein.
The Managers also may impose a penalty bid on certain Managers and selling group members. This means that if the Managers purchases Notes in the open market to reduce the Managers’ short position or to stabilize the price of the Notes or the Common Shares, they may reclaim the amount of the selling concession from the Managers and selling group members who sold such Notes as part of this offering.
In general, purchases of a security for the purpose of stabilization or to reduce a syndicate short position could cause the price of the security to be higher than it might otherwise be in the absence of such purchases. The imposition of a penalty bid might have an effect on the price of a security to the extent that it were to discourage resales of the security by purchasers in an offering. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the Managers at any time. These transactions may be effected in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.
Neither the Company nor any of the Managers makes any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the Notes or the Common Shares. In addition, none of the parties nor any of the Managers makes any representation that the Managers will engage in such transactions or that such transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.
The Notes are a new issue of securities with no established trading market. Application has been made to list the Notes on the LSE. However, no assurance can be given as to the liquidity of any trading market for the Notes. Moreover, the Company does not intend to list the Notes on any U.S. national securities exchange. The Managers have advised the Company that they intend to make a market for the Notes, but they have no obligation to do so and may discontinue market-making at any
103
time without providing any notice. The Common Shares are traded on the TSE under the number of “2308”.
The Notes and the Common Shares issuable upon exchange of the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and the Notes are subject to U.S. tax law requirements. Unless so registered, the Notes and the Common Shares issuable upon exchange of the Notes may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons unless such securities are registered under the Securities Act and such state securities laws or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such state securities laws is available.
Each Manager may only resell the Notes outside the United States in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act and in accordance with applicable law. Terms used above have the meanings assigned to them in Regulation S under the Securities Act.
In addition, until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering and the completion of the distribution of the Notes, any offer or sale of Notes within the United States by any dealer not participating in the offering may violate the Securities Act.
No Notes may be offered or sold to persons in the United Kingdom prior to the expiry of the period of six months from the Closing Date except to persons whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purpose of their businesses or otherwise in circumstances which have not resulted and will not result in an offer to the public in the United Kingdom within the meaning of the Public Offers of Securities Regulations 1995. Anything done by any person in relation to the Notes in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom must comply with all applicable provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “FSMA”). In addition, no person may communicate or cause to be communicated any invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the FSMA) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of any Notes in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the Company.
The Notes acquired by the Managers as part of the distribution of the Notes may not be offered, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly, in the ROC.
The Notes may not be offered or sold in Hong Kong, by means of any document, other than to persons whose ordinary business is to buy or sell shares or debentures, whether as principal or agent, or in circumstances which do not constitute an offer to the public within the meaning of the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 32) of Hong Kong. In addition, no person may issue or have in its possession for the purposes of issue any advertisement, invitation or document relating to the Notes, whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere, which is directed at, or the contents of which are likely to be accessed or read by, the public in Hong Kong (except if permitted to do so under the securities laws of Hong Kong) other than with respect to Notes which are or are intended to be disposed of only to persons outside Hong Kong or only to “professional investors” within the meaning of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571) of Hong Kong (the “SFO”) and any rules made thereunder.
This Offering Circular has not been and will not be registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore (the “MAS”) under the Securities and Futures Act, Chapter 289 of Singapore (the “Securities and Futures Act”). Accordingly the Notes may not be offered or sold or be made the subject of an invitation for subscription or purchase nor may this Offering Circular or any other document or material in connection with the offer or sale, or invitation for subscription or purchase of the Notes be circulated or distributed, whether directly or indirectly, to the public or any member of the public in Singapore other than (i) to an institutional investor or other person specified in Section 274 of the Securities and Futures Act, (ii) to a sophisticated investor, and in accordance with the conditions,
104
specified in Section 275 of the Securities and Futures Act, or (iii) otherwise pursuant to, and in accordance with the conditions of, any other applicable provision of the Securities and Futures Act.
The Notes may not be offered, sold, transferred or delivered, directly or indirectly, in or from the Netherlands, as part of their initial distribution or as part of any re-offering, and neither this Offering Circular nor any other document in respect of the offering may be distributed in the Netherlands, other than to individuals or legal entities which include, but are not limited to banks, brokers, dealers, institutional investors and undertakings with a treasury department, who or which trade or invest in securities in the conduct of a business or profession.

Summary of Certain Differences Between ROC GAAP and US GAAP
Financial statements prepared in accordance with “Rules Governing Preparation of Financial Statements of Securities Issuers” and generally accepted accounting principles in the Republic of China (collectively referred herein as “ROC GAAP”) differ in certain respects from US GAAP. The following is a summary of the principal differences between ROC GAAP and ROC SFC requirements, as applicable to the Company, and US GAAP. The summary below should not be considered to be exhaustive. Additionally, it may exclude certain differences that may affect the disclosure, presentation or classification of transactions or events in the Company’s financial statements. Further, this summary does not take into account numerous projects currently being undertaken by standard setting bodies in the United States and ROC which could have an impact on the comparison between ROC GAAP and US GAAP, which are applicable to the Company. Finally, no attempt has been made to identify all future differences between ROC GAAP and US GAAP that may affect the financial statements as a result of transactions or events that may occur in the future.
ROC GAAP
US GAAP
1 Presentation of non-consolidated financial statements
Under ROC GAAP, non-consolidated financial statements of a company are presented as the primary financial statements and consolidated financial statements as supplemental financial statements.
Under US GAAP, parent-company-only nonconsolidated financial statements are not allowed to be presented as the primary financial statements for any period.
2 Employee stock bonus
It is a statutory requirement that bonuses paid to employees and remuneration paid to directors and supervisors out of retained earnings are not regarded as expenses, but instead are reported as a distribution from retained earnings in the year the shareholders approve the distribution of earnings. Under certain circumstances, employee bonuses may be paid in the form of newly issued stocks, in which case the stock issuance is recorded at par value and is reported as a distribution of retained earnings.
The stock bonus to employees is given retroactive effect in the computation of earnings per share.
Under US GAAP, employee bonuses and remuneration issued to directors and supervisors are charged to income as compensation expenses in the year when related services are provided, irrespective of whether the bonuses are paid in the form of cash or stock. For bonuses paid in stock, the shares are valued using the fair value or the intrinsic value method.
Under US GAAP, stock bonus to employees is given only prospective effect in the computation of earnings per share.
3 Stock dividends
Under ROC GAAP, the issuance of stock dividends is recorded based on the par value of the shares, multiplied by the number of shares issued.
Under US GAAP, when the ratio of distribution is less than 25% of shares of the same class outstanding, stock dividends are generally recorded based on the fair value method, with the par value recorded in the capital stock accounts
109
ROC GAAP
US GAAP
and the excess of fair value over the par value being recorded as additional paid-in capital. Distribution in excess of 25% is generally considered as stock split.
4 Employee share purchase
In connection with a number of new shares issued to shareholders, the company also issues shares to employees at the same issue price, which usually represented a discount to the quoted market price. Under ROC GAAP, such issues are recorded as capital contribution for the cash amount received from the employees.
Under US GAAP, such issues would be recorded as capital contribution for the cash amount received from the employees. In addition, compensation expense would be recorded, for the difference between the shares issue price and the fair market value, during the period when such issues were made.
5 Treasury stock/earnings per share
Under the ROC Company Law, a company’s subsidiaries are permitted to purchase the parent company’s shares, hold the shares for trading purpose and recognize the related investment income or loss.
When preparing the consolidated financial statements, the shares of the parent company held by its subsidiaries are treated as treasury stock. However, these shares are still treated as outstanding shares when computing earnings per share as the gain or loss generated from the treasury stock transactions is included in the consolidated net income.
Under US GAAP, the purchases and sales of a company’s shares by its subsidiaries are treated as treasury stock transactions of the company. Accordingly, no gain or loss on the disposal of the treasury stock is recognized as investment income or loss by the company and the proceeds from the sales are allocated between capital stock and capital reserve. Any shares of the company held by its subsidiaries at year-end are reported as treasury stock and are deducted in the calculation of earnings per share.
Commencing from January 1, 2002, the company’s shares owned by its subsidiaries are treated as treasury stock and similar accounting treatments as U.S. GAAP are adopted to account for such transactions.
6 Consolidation
Under ROC GAAP, a company is required to include in its annual consolidated financial statements only those subsidiaries, which are directly or indirectly over 50% owned. For subsidiaries (i) with total assets and operating revenues which are less than 10% of the company‘s non-consolidated total assets and operating revenues, respectively, or (ii) which are in a negative equity position, the company has the option of whether or not to consolidate such subsidiaries. Irrespective of
Under US GAAP, the parent company’s consolidated financial statements generally include the financial statements of majority-owned subsidiaries, unless control does not rest with the majority owner.
110
ROC GAAP
US GAAP
the above test, if the combined revenues or total assets of all such non-consolidated subsidiaries exceeds 30% of the company‘s non-consolidated total assets or operating revenues, then each individual subsidiary with total assets or operating revenues greater than 3% of the company’s respective non-consolidated amounts shall be consolidated. In addition, under the Company Law in the Republic of China, the company is required to include in its consolidated financial statements the financial statements of its less than majority owned investee companies if the company has the ability to control the human resources, finance or operations of the investee companies.
Under ROC GAAP, a company is not required to prepare interim financial statements on a consolidated basis. Instead, the company is only required to recognize investment income/loss in majority owned subsidiaries under the equity method. Under ROC GAAP, a company is not required to recognize in its three months and nine months interim financial statements investment income/loss on investee companies in which the company has, directly or indirectly, 20% to 50% ownership interest. Investment income/loss in these investee companies is required only to be recognized in the semi-annual and annual financial statements.
ROC GAAP provides that when a company‘s interest in a subsidiary changes from a majority interest to a minority interest, the investment in the subsidiary should be accounted for under the equity basis in the consolidated financial statements in the current year. In addition, ROC GAAP construes such change to be a change in the reporting entity which requires that in order to maintain consistency in the application of accounting standards, the prior year(s) comparative consolidated financial statements should be retroactively restated.
Under ROC GAAP, the minority interest in consolidated subsidiaries can be presented either as part of liabilities, in between
US GAAP requires that the accounting principles and practices used by an enterprise in the preparation of its interim statements be based on those used in its latest annual financial statements unless a change of accounting practice or policy has been adopted in the current year. Thus, if the enterprise’s latest annual financial statements were prepared on a consolidated basis, accordingly the interim financial statements shall also be prepared on a consolidated basis, except as discussed above.
Under US GAAP, for purposes of application of the consistency standard, a change in the reporting entity is not deemed to result from the creation, cessation, purchase, or disposition of a subsidiary or other business. Accordingly, when a company‘s interest in a specific subsidiary or investee affiliate changes during the year, that change is generally accounted for prospectively and retroactive restatement is not required.
Under US GAAP, the minority interest in consolidated subsidiaries is presented as a separate item between liabilities and stockholders’
111
ROC GAAP
liabilities and stockholders’ equity or in stockholders’ equity in the consolidated financial statements.
US GAAP
equity in the consolidated financial statements.
7 Business combination
Under ROC GAAP, business combinations are generally accounted for under purchase method, but pooling of interest method is still allowed if certain criteria are met. When business combinations are accounted for under purchase method and the consideration given up by the acquirer is in the form of shares, the cost to the acquirer is generally determined based on the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. When business combinations are accounted for under pooling of interest method, the acquired company’s income and loss accounts before the merger are included in the acquirer company’s income, and then transferred to capital reserve pursuant to the Company Law and the related regulations in the ROC.
Under ROC GAAP, goodwill is the excess of the investment cost over the fair value of acquired net assets. Goodwill is capitalized as an intangible asset and amortized to the income statement over five to twenty years. Negative goodwill is accounted for similarly.
Under ROC GAAP, the company’s individual profit and loss account may include the results of operations of the acquired company for the period prior to the acquisition in the year of acquisition, then adjusted through minority interest income/loss account for the same amount.
Under US GAAP, all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 are accounted for under purchase method. The cost to the acquirer in a purchase business combination is the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and more reliably measurable. When the consideration is the publicly traded equity securities issued by the acquirer, fair value is generally based on the market price of the equity securities issued. The market price is determined based on a reasonable period before and after the date of the terms of the acquisition are agreed to and announced. The cost of an acquired company should be allocated to the assets (both tangible and intangible) acquired and liabilities assumed on the basis of their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.
Under US GAAP, goodwill acquired after June 30, 2001 shall not be amortized. Instead, it shall be tested for impairment at reporting unit level at least annually. Goodwill acquired before June 30, 2001 should continue be amortized through December 31, 2001 over its estimated useful life but not exceeding 40 years. Effective January 1, 2002, all goodwill are subject non-amortization provision as described above. Negative goodwill being the excess of fair value of acquired net assets over cost, after certain adjustments, is an extraordinary gain.
Under US GAAP, the company’s profit and loss accounts only include the results of operations of the acquired company after acquisition.
8 Equity investments of at least 20%
Under ROC GAAP, equity investments where the company has voting rights of at least 20% are generally required to be accounted for under the equity method; however, when the
Under US GAAP, the equity method of accounting is generally required for investments with an ownership percentage of at least 20% but less than 50%, unless (i) the investment is considered
112
ROC GAAP
company has not received the audited financial statements of the equity-method investee company in time to recognize its equity in the investee company‘s income (loss), the company may delay the recognition of its equity in the investee company’s income (loss) until the subsequent year, unless the company meets the following criteria, in which case no delay in recognition is possible: (i) the beginning balance of the company‘s long-term investment balance exceeds NT$50 million and 5% of the investor company’s paid-in-capital; (ii) direct ownership of the investee company exceeds 30%, or direct ownership plus indirect ownership through directors, supervisors, and management exceeds 50%; and (iii) the investor company is one of the top three shareholders of the investee company or the investee company‘s chairperson or general manager was appointed by the investor company. If the company is required to prepare interim financial statements, such investment income (loss), which is calculated based on the proportionate share in the prior year’s annual income (loss) of the investee company, has to be recognized in the semiannual financial statements of the company in the subsequent year at the latest. In addition, such delay in recognition is not possible when the company has a direct or indirect control over the management of the personnel, financial or business operation of the investee company.
When the accounting treatment for a longterm equity investment is changed from cost method to equity method, the difference between the cost of investment and the company’s share of the investee company’s equity at the time of the change is deferred and amortized over 5 years.
US GAAP
temporary or (ii) the investor does not possess the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee. There are no provisions, which allow the investor company to delay recognition of its equity in the investee company‘s income (loss).
Under US GAAP, when the accounting treatment for a long-term equity investment is changed from cost method to equity method, retroactive restatement is required. If the company is unable to relate the difference between the carrying amount of the investment and the company’s share of the investee company’s equity to specific accounts of the investee, the difference should be considered to be goodwill and tested for impairment at least annually.
9 Equity investments of less than 20% or debt investments/short-term investment
Long-term investments of less than 20% of a company‘s shares are accounted for at the
Equity investments of less than 20% that have readily determinable fair value and debt
113
ROC GAAP
- lower of cost or market value for listed investee companies and at cost for unlisted investee companies and if the company has no ability to exercise significant influence in the management of the investee company. Valuation allowance under this lower of cost or market value method is shown under stockholders’ equity. When it becomes evidently clear that there has been a permanent impairment in investments value and the chance of recovery is minimal, loss is recognized in current year earnings.
Under ROC GAAP, investments in foreign investee companies, denominated in foreign currencies, accounted for at cost method are converted to New Taiwan dollars using the exchange rate prevailing at balance sheet date and the resulting exchange loss but not gain is recorded in stockholders’ equity under the cumulative translation adjustment account.
Short-term investments are stated at the lower of cost or market value. In the subsequent period, recoveries of market value are recognized as other income to the extent of the original cost of the investments.
US GAAP
investments are classified in three categories and accounted as follows:
-
(a) Debt and equity securities classified as trading securities are marked to market at the end of the accounting period with unrealized gains or losses taken to current earnings.
-
(b) Debt securities classified as held to maturity are reported at amortized cost, with any premium or discount amortized over the period of the investment.
-
(c) Debt and equity securities classified as available for sale are marked to market at the end of the accounting period with unrealized gains or losses taken to a separate component of shareholders’ equity, unless there is a permanent decline in the value of such investment in which case it is recorded against income.
Investments that have no readily determinable fair value are accounted for at historical cost subject to impairment test.
10 Accounting for changes in ownership interest in investee companies
Under ROC GAAP, when an investee company issues additional shares and the investor’s ownership interest changes as a result, any resulting difference between the investor’s investment balance and its proportionate share of the investee company’s net equity is adjusted to its investment account with an offsetting entry to the investor’s capital reserve or retained earnings if the related capital reserve balance is insufficient. Upon subsequent disposition of the investment, amounts previously recorded to capital reserve or retained earnings relating to the respective investment will be reversed and recorded as part of the gain or loss on disposal.
Under US GAAP, when an investee company issues additional shares at an amount over/under the carrying value of the shares held by the investor and the investor’s ownership interest decreases as a result of not fully subscribing to the issue, the resulting difference between the investor’s investment balance and its proportionate share of investee company’s net equity is adjusted to its investment account with an offsetting entry either to (i) gain or loss to record the deemed disposition of shares or (ii) to paid-incapital. If an adjustment has been made to paid-incapital to recognize investee capital transactions, US GAAP would not permit the adjustment of such amounts on the subsequent disposition of all or a part of the investments.
114
ROC GAAP
US GAAP
11 Revaluation of fixed assets
ROC GAAP permits property, plant and equipment to be recorded at cost or at cost plus appreciation in respect of assets revalued in accordance with ROC government regulations.
Upward revaluation of assets is not permitted under US GAAP.
12 Impairment of long-lived assets or longlived assets to be disposed
No specific standards address impairment of long-lived assets; normally such assets would be carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. However, when events or changes in circumstance indicate that a significant impairment occurs, an impairment loss should be recorded in the current period.
US GAAP requires that long-lived assets held for years and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For assets held for use, if the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying value and the fair value which is generally determined based on discounted cash flow.
Assets purchased for use in the business but not subsequently used for that purpose are generally recorded as idle assets and reclassified from fixed assets to other assets, in which case there is a requirement to assess the net realizable value such that idle assets are not recorded at an amount in excess of net realizable value.
13 Prepayment of fixed assets
Under ROC GAAP, prepayment of fixed assets is presented as part of fixed assets
Under US GAAP, prepayment of fixed assets should be presented as other assets.
14 Depreciation of fixed assets
Depreciation is generally provided using the guideline service lives as prescribed by the ROC Tax Authorities plus one additional year as salvage value.
Depreciation is provided over the asset’s estimated economic useful life. Salvage value, if any, is based on the estimated net realizable value of the asset at the end of its estimated economic useful life.
15 Convertible preferred stock and debt securities
When convertible bonds are issued, ROC GAAP does not recognize or account for any beneficial conversion feature embedded in the securities.
Under US GAAP, such beneficial conversion feature should be recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital. That amount should be calculated at the commitment date as the difference between the
115
ROC GAAP
US GAAP
conversion price and the fair value of the common stock, multiplied by the number of shares into which the security is convertible.
16 Accounting for derivative instruments
There are no specific accounting standards under ROC GAAP which address measurement for derivative instruments except for foreign currency forward contracts. Such contracts are classified as hedge or speculative in nature. The classification is generally based on the management’s intention. Derivative instruments are generally recognized as assets and/or liabilities in the balance sheet. The valuation for hedging contracts or hedging instruments corresponds to the method of valuation of the hedged item. For example, if the hedged item is market-valued, then the hedging instrument is also market-valued. If the hedged item is valued at the lower of cost or market, then the hedging instrument is also valued at the lower of cost or market. Speculative contracts are measured at fair value and the difference between the book value and the fair value is recorded in the current period’s operating results.
Under US GAAP requires that all entities recognize derivative instruments as assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position and subsequently measure them at fair value. Generally, a derivative is classified as a hedge instrument if, (1) at inception of the hedge, there is formal documentation of the hedging relationship and the entity’s risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, including identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged, and how the hedging instrument’s effectiveness is offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair value or variability in cash flows attributable to the hedged risk will be assessed, and (2) the hedging relationship is expected to be highly effective. If a derivative is qualified as a hedge, entities may elect to designate the derivative instrument as one of the following:
Fair value hedge – a hedge of the exposures to changes (that are attributable to a particular risk) in the fair value of (1) a recognized asset or liability or (2) an unrecognized firm commitment;
Cash-flow hedge – a hedge of the exposure to variability (that is attributable to a particular risk) in the cash flows of a forecasted transaction; and
Foreign-currency hedge – a hedge of the foreigncurrency exposure of (1) an unrecognized firm commitment, (2) an available-for-sale security, (3) a forecasted transaction, or (4) a net investment in a foreign operation.
17 Compensated absences
ROC GAAP has no specific accounting practice regarding compensated absences.
Compensated absences must be accrued based on the liability for employees‘ rights to receive compensation for future absences when certain conditions are met.
116
ROC GAAP
US GAAP
18 Cost of sales
Under ROC GAAP, provisions for normal inventory scrap and obsolescence are recorded as non-operating expenses.
Under ROC GAAP, the unrealized gross profit generated from downstream intercompany transactions is eliminated and presented as a reconciling item of gross profit in the statement of income. A corresponding liability is recorded for the amount of the unrealized gross profit in the balance sheet.
Under US GAAP, provisions for normal inventory scrap and obsolescence are generally charged to cost of sales.
Under US GAAP, the unrealized gross profit generated from downstream transactions is generally charged against cost of sales and credited the investment account.
19 Concentration of risk
ROC GAAP has no specific disclosure requirements for concentration of risk.
Disclose concentration of risk on one or more parties, as appropriate, including such parties as sole/major customer, supplier, franchiser, distributor, general agent, borrower or lender is required.
20 Segment information
ROC GAAP requires disclosure of segment information in the footnotes information to the financial statements according to industry and geographic information, which need not necessarily be the same as the management's internal report to company decision-makers.
Under US GAAP, public business enterprise is required to present segment information based on operating segments. Several operating segments may, provided aggregation criteria are met, be aggregated to reportable segments for which the required information is disclosed. Disclosure is based on the management's approach for reporting segments information to Company chief operating decision makers that are used internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding resources allocation to segments.
21 Statement of cash flows
Under ROC GAAP, certificates of time deposits with original maturities of greater than three months are classified as cash.
Under US GAAP, certificates of time deposits with original maturities of over three months are classified as trading securities.
22 Pension
Under ROC GAAP, the amortization of unrecognized net gain/loss cannot exceed the excess of unrecognized net gain/loss and unrecognized net transition obligation.
With respect to the pension plan disclosure, under ROC GAAP, disclosure of changes in plan assets and benefit obligations is not required.
Under US GAAP, no such limitation on the amortization of unrecognized net gain/loss is required.
With respect to the pension plan disclosure, under US GAAP, changes in plan assets and benefit obligations are required to be disclosed.
117
ROC GAAP
US GAAP
23 Revenue recognition
Under ROC GAAP, revenue is recognized when realized or realizable.
According to ROC SFAS No. 32 issued in June 2002 in relation to revenue recognition, similar criteria for revenue recognition are adopted. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal year ending after December 31, 2003 and early adoption is encouraged.
Under ROC GAAP, sales to subsidiaries are generally recognized upon delivery but unrealized profits/losses would be eliminated.
Under US GAAP, revenue recognition is usually prescriptive and revenue is generally recognized when it is realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured.
Under US GAAP, sales to subsidiaries are not recognized until the subsidiaries sell through to the third parties.
24 10% additional income tax on undistributed earnings
Under the current tax regulations, current year’s earnings, on tax basis, not distributed in the following year are subject to 10% additional income tax. This 10% additional income tax is recognized as a tax expense in the following year when the amount is determined. In addition, the effect of the 10% tax on temporary differences is not recognized.
Under US GAAP, this 10% additional income tax is recognized in the period during which the related income is generated and the impact of the 10% tax is measured for both current and deferred tax.
25 Disclosure of new accounting pronouncements
Under ROC GAAP, disclosure of recently issued accounting standards but not yet effective as of the balance sheet date is not required.
US GAAP requires disclosure of the impact that recently issued accounting standards will have on the financial statement of the company when adopted in the future.
26 Comprehensive income
Under ROC GAAP, there is no standard for accounting and reporting of comprehensive income.
US GAAP requires that comprehensive income be displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive income is composed of two subsets – “net income” and “other comprehensive income”. Comprehensive income includes charges or credits to equity that are not the result of transactions with owners. (e.g. cumulative translation adjustments, minimum pension liabilities, unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sales securities and the effective portion of the change in the fair value of cash flow and net investment hedges)

27 Interim financial statements
Under ROC GAAP, the Company is not required to present statement of changes in stockholders’ equity in the three months and nine-months interim non-consolidated financial statements
Under US GAAP, the interim financial statements are prepared on the same basis as the latest annual financial statements, which requires the inclusion of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity

Appendix A - Foreign Investment and Exchange Controls in the ROC
Foreign Investment and Exchange Controls in the ROC
The information presented in this section has been extracted from publicly available documents, such as statistical data and information published by the ROC SFC and the TSE, which have not been prepared or independently verified by the Company, the Managers or any of their respective affiliates or advisors in connection with this Offering. The Company only accepts responsibility for correctly reproducing such information.
General
Historically, foreign investments in the securities market of Taiwan were restricted. However, commencing in 1983, the ROC government has from time to time enacted legislation and adopted regulations to make foreign investment in the Taiwan securities market possible. Initially, only overseas investment trust funds of authorized securities investment trust enterprises established in Taiwan were permitted to invest in the Taiwan securities market. Since January 1, 1991, qualified foreign institutional investors have been allowed to make investments in the Taiwan securities market. Since March 1, 1996, overseas Chinese, foreign institutional and foreign individual investors (other than qualified foreign institutional investors), called "general foreign investors", have been permitted to make direct investments in the Taiwan securities market. Since July 9, 2003 the Securities and Futures Commission (“ROC SFC”) has adopted various new rules which have the effect of removing the restrictions on investment amount, the qualification requirements in terms of asset size and the inward and outward remittance period limits previously applicable to qualified foreign institutional investors. In addition, the ROC SFC has announced its intention to implement two new measures which will further liberalize the Taiwan securities market by (i) classifying foreign investors into two categories, i.e. individual investors and institutional investors, and (ii) streamlining the application process involving foreign investments. The above measures are expected to become effective by the end of 2003. There is no assurance that such proposed reforms will be implemented.
Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors
The Executive Yuan has approved guidelines for direct investment in securities listed on the TSE or the GreTai Securities Market in Taiwan by qualified foreign institutional investors. Qualified foreign institutional investors include:
-
banks;
-
insurance companies;
-
fund management institutions;
-
offshore fund management companies more than 50% of the capital of which is owned by a Taiwan securities investment trust enterprise, provided that the funds to be invested are not derived from sources in Taiwan or mainland China or owned by these offshore fund management companies;
-
general securities firms;
-
offshore subsidiary securities firms that are more than 50% owned by a Taiwan securities firm, or other securities firms that are wholly owned by these offshore subsidiary securities firms;
A-1
-
offshore subsidiary securities firms that are wholly owned by a Taiwan securities firm, or other securities firms that are more than 51% owned by these offshore subsidiary securities firms;
-
foreign government-owned investment institutions, provided that all of the funds to be invested are owned by the foreign government;
-
pension funds;
-
mutual funds, unit trusts or investment trusts, provided that the application shall be made under the name of fund trustees with a note stating the title of such fund;
-
trust companies;
-
academic or charitable institutions that, according to their articles of incorporation, may invest their funds, provided that those investments are managed externally by a thirdparty manager; and
-
any other professional institutional investors.
Each qualified foreign institutional investor wishing to invest directly in the Taiwan securities market is required to apply for an investment permit from the ROC SFC. If the investment amount exceeds U.S.$50 million, an approval from the Central Bank of China is also required. The application to the ROC SFC and the Central Bank of China (if applicable) requires, among other things:
-
the appointment of a local agent and custodian;
-
proof of qualification;
-
a copy of the custodian contract; and
-
an affidavit certifying that the foreign institutional investor will not enter into any quotasharing arrangement with other foreign investors.
Qualified foreign institutional investors who receive a permit may apply to invest and, unless otherwise limited by applicable laws and regulations, remit -an unlimited investment amount into Taiwan at any time receiving the investment. Capital remitted into Taiwan for investments in the Taiwan securities market may be repatriated at any time. The repatriated capital may be returned to Taiwan at any time. Capital gains and income on investments may also be repatriated at any time. The lifting of the investment period limitations and investment ceilings also applies to qualified foreign institutional investors whose approvals have already expired.
General Foreign Investors
General foreign investors may generally invest in TSE listed securities or securities traded on the Gre Tai Securities Market up to a limit of U.S.$50 million if they are institutional investors and U.S.$5 million if they are individual investors, after obtaining the necessary approvals from the TSE.
Foreign Ownership Limitations
Except for certain limits imposed by specific laws and regulations, there are generally no limits on the foreign ownership of the issued share capital in a TSE listed company or a Gre Tai Securities Market traded company.

Other than qualified foreign institutional investors, general foreign investors, and investors in overseas convertible bonds and depositary receipts, foreign investors who wish to make direct investments in the shares of ROC companies may submit a "foreign investment approval" application to the Investment Commission of the ROC Ministry of Economic Affairs or other governmental authority. Foreign investors who obtain this approval will be subject to the ROC Law Governing Investments by Foreigners. The Investment Commission or other governmental authority reviews each foreign investment approval application and approves or disapproves the application after consultation with other governmental agencies. Any non-ROC person possessing a foreign investment approval may repatriate annual net profits, interests and cash dividends attributable to an approved investment. Stock dividends, investment capital and capital gains attributable to the investment may be repatriated with approval of the Investment Commission or other governmental authority.
In addition to the general restrictions against direct investment by non-ROC persons in Taiwan companies, non-ROC persons are currently prohibited from investing in prohibited industries in Taiwan which are listed under the Negative List, as amended. The prohibition on direct foreign investment in the prohibited industries in the Negative List is absolute and provides no specific exemption from its application. Under the Negative List, some industries are restricted so that non-ROC persons may directly invest only up to a specified level and with the specific approval of the relevant governmental authority. We are not in a restricted industry under the Negative List.
Depositary Receipts
In April 1992, the ROC SFC began allowing Taiwan companies listed on the TSE to sponsor the issuance and sale of depositary receipts evidencing depositary shares. In December 1994, MOF began allowing companies whose shares are traded on the Gre Tai Securities Market also to sponsor the issuance and sale of depositary receipts evidencing depositary shares. Approvals for these issuances are still required.
No deposits of shares may be made in a depositary receipt facility and no depositary receipts may be issued against deposits without specific Securities and Futures Commission approval, unless they are:
-
stock dividends;
-
free distributions of shares;
-
due to the exercise by depositary receipt holders of their preemptive rights in the event of capital increases for cash; or
-
if permitted in the deposit agreement and the custody agreement, due to the purchase by depositary receipt holders, directly or through the depositary, of shares on the TSE or the Gre Tai Securities Market or the delivery of shares held by such depositary receipt holders for deposit in the depositary receipt facility. In this event, the total number of depositary receipts outstanding after an issuance cannot exceed the aggregate number of:
-
(1) the number of issued depositary receipts previously approved by the Securities and Futures Commission; and
-
(2) the number of depositary shares created from stock dividends, free distributions of shares and rights offerings.
A-3
These issuances of depositary receipts may only be made to the extent that previously issued depositary receipts have been cancelled and the shares have been sold on the TSE or the Gre Tai Securities Market.
For depositary shares that represent new shares issued for cash or previously existing shares, immediately after the issuance of depositary receipts, a holder may request the depositary to cause the underlying shares to be sold in Taiwan or to withdraw the shares and deliver the shares to the holder.
Any depositary receipt holder (who has not registered as a qualified foreign institutional investor or a general foreign investor) wishing to withdraw shares represented by depositary receipts in order to hold the shares is required to first obtain an approval from the appropriate government agency for registration as a qualified foreign institutional investor or a general foreign investor (as appropriate) and then appoint a qualified local agent to, among other things, open a general securities account with a local securities brokerage firm, remit funds, exercise shareholders' rights, and perform such other actions as may be designated by such depositary receipt holder. If a depository receipt holder has already registered as a qualified foreign institutional investor or a general foreign investor, the shares held in the special securities trading account opened by the depository receipt holder for withdrawing the shares represented by the GDRs can be transferred into the general securities trading account upon filing an application with the appropriate government agency. In addition, the withdrawing holder is also required to appoint a custodian bank to hold the securities and cash proceeds in safekeeping, make confirmations, settle trades and report all relevant information. Without making this appointment, opening these accounts and obtaining prior approval of the TSE, the withdrawing holder would be unable to subsequently hold or sell the shares withdrawn from a depositary receipt facility on the TSE or otherwise. The withdrawing holder is also required to appoint a tax guarantor for filing tax returns and making tax payments. A citizen of the PRC or an entity organized under the laws of the PRC is not permitted to withdraw and hold the Common Shares.
A depositary may, without obtaining further approvals from the Central Bank of China or any other governmental authority or agency of Taiwan, convert NT dollars into other currencies, including U.S. dollars, in respect of the following: (1) the proceeds of the sale of shares represented by depositary receipts; (2) the proceeds of the sale of shares received as stock dividends on the shares and deposited into the depositary receipt facility; or (3) any cash dividends or cash distributions received. In addition, a depositary may convert into NT dollars inward remittances of payments for purchases of underlying shares for deposit in the depositary facility against the creation of depositary shares. A depositary must obtain foreign exchange approval from the Central Bank of China on a payment-by-payment basis for conversion into foreign currencies from the proceeds from the sale of subscription rights for new shares. It is expected that the Central Bank of China will grant this approval as a routine matter. A depositary receipt holder may, after becoming a holder of shares, convert NT dollars into other currencies from proceeds from the sale of any underlying shares withdrawn from the depositary receipt facility. Proceeds from the sale of the underlying shares withdrawn from the depositary receipt facility may be used for reinvestment in securities listed on the TSE or traded on the Gre Tai Securities Market. These reinvestments will need to comply with the limitations and restrictions which apply to qualified foreign institutional investors or general foreign investors discussed above.
Overseas Corporate Bonds
Since 1989, the Securities and Futures Commission has approved a series of overseas corporate bond issues by ROC companies listed on the TSE and traded on the Gre Tai Securities Market. Under current ROC laws, these overseas corporate bonds (if their terms so provide), with Securities and Futures Commission approval, may be converted by non-ROC persons, other than mainland Chinese persons, into shares of ROC companies or may be converted into depositary receipts
A-4
issued under the sponsorship of the same ROC company or the shares of other companies, in the case of exchangeable bonds. Public issuing companies may issue corporate debt in offerings outside Taiwan.
A non-ROC converting bondholder, when exercising the conversion right to convert the bonds into shares of a ROC company, is required to appoint a local agent to with qualification set by ROC Securities :
-
open a securities trading account with a local brokerage firm;
-
remit funds;
-
exercise shareholders' rights; and
-
perform other actions as may be designed by such converting bondholder.
In addition, the converting bondholder is also required to appoint a custodian bank to hold the securities and cash proceeds in safekeeping, make confirmations and settle trades and report all relevant information. Without making this appointment and opening these accounts, the converting bondholder would be unable to subsequently hold or sell the shares converted from the bonds on the TSE or otherwise. The converting bondholder is also required to appoint a tax guarantor for filing tax returns and making tax payments. Without obtaining further approvals from the Central Bank of China or any other governmental authority or agency of Taiwan, the issuing company may convert NT dollars into other currencies for redemption of the bonds or the repayment of the principal or interest on the bonds. In addition, a converting bondholder may through its local agent convert NT dollars into other currencies for net proceeds realized from the sale of shares or any stock dividends on the shares. In addition, a bondholder may also convert through its local agent any cash distributions relating to the shares and, after becoming a shareholder, inward remittances of subscription payments in connection with a rights offering. The issuing company is required to obtain the approvals from the Central Bank of China on a payment-by-payment basis for conversion of NT dollars into other currencies for payment of the cash (instead of delivery of shares) upon conversion of the bonds.
In addition, any funds received by the converting bondholder may be used for reinvestment in Taiwan securities listed on the TSE or traded on the Gre Tai Securities Market. These reinvestments will need to comply with the limitations and restrictions which apply to qualified foreign institutional investors or general foreign investors discussed above.
Exchange Controls
The ROC Foreign Exchange Control Statute and regulations provide that all foreign exchange transactions must be executed by banks designated by MOF and the Central Bank of China to handle foreign exchange transactions. Current regulations favor trade-related foreign exchange transactions. Consequently, foreign currency earned from exports of merchandise and services may now be retained and used freely by exporters. All foreign currency needed for the importation of merchandise and services may be purchased freely from the designated foreign exchange banks.
Aside from trade-related foreign exchange transactions, ROC companies and residents may, without foreign exchange approval, remit to and from Taiwan foreign currencies of up to U.S.$50 million, or its equivalent, and U.S.$5 million, or its equivalent, respectively, each calendar year. These limits apply to remittances involving a conversion between NT dollars and U.S. dollars or other foreign currencies. In addition, all private enterprises are required to register all medium and long-term foreign debt with the Central Bank of China.
In addition, a foreign person may, subject to certain requirements but without foreign exchange approval, remit to and from Taiwan foreign currencies of up to U.S.$100,000 per remittance if the
A-5
required documentation is provided to the ROC authorities. This limit applies only to remittances involving a conversion between NT dollars and U.S. dollars or other foreign currencies.

Appendix B - The Securities Market in ROC
The Securities Market of the ROC
The information presented in this section has been extracted from publicly available documents, such as statistical data and information published by the ROC SFC and the TSE, which have not been prepared or independently verified by the Company, the Managers or any of their respective affiliates or advisors in connection with this Offering. The Company only accepts responsibility for correctly reproducing such information.
The Taiwan Stock Exchange
In 1961, the ROC SFO established the TSE to provide a marketplace for securities trading. The TSE is a corporation owned by government controlled and private banks and enterprises. The TSE is independent of entities transacting business through it, each of which pays a user's fee. Generally, all transactions in listed securities by brokers, traders and integrated securities firms must be made through the Taiwan Stock Exchange.
The TSE commenced operations in 1962. During the early 1980s, the ROC SFC actively encouraged new listings on the TSE and the number of listed companies grew from 119 in 1983 to 639 as of May 31, 2003. As of May 31, 2003, the market capitalization of companies listed on the TSE was approximately NT$9.3 trillion.
Historically, ROC companies have listed only shares and bonds on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. However, the ROC SFC has encouraged companies to list other types of securities. In 1988, the ROC SFC permitted the issuance of Taiwan's first convertible bonds. Since 1989, there have been offerings of domestic convertible bonds and convertible preferred shares. In addition, beneficiary units evidencing beneficiary interests in closed end investment funds and Dragon Bonds issued by Asian Development Bank are also listed on the TSE or traded on the Gre Tai Securities Market. The ROC SFC also has regulations which permit foreign issuers to list their equity securities directly on the TSE or through the use of depositary receipts. To date, four foreign issuers have listed their equity securities on the TSE through the use of depositary receipts in accordance with these regulations.
The TSE requirements for listing are based on the following company attributes:
-
the number and distribution of shareholders, including the diversification of such shareholders;
-
length of time in business;
-
amount of paid-in capital; and
-
profitability.
However, special listing criteria apply to technology companies and key businesses engaging in national economic development.
The ROC Gre Tai Securities Market
To complement the Taiwan Stock Exchange, the Gre Tai Securities Market was established in September 1982 on the initiative of the ROC SFC to encourage the trading of securities of companies who do not qualify for listing on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. As of May 31, 2003, 423 companies had listed equity securities on the Gre Tai Securities Market and the total market capitalization of those companies was approximately NT$0.89 trillion.
B-1
TSE Index
The TSE Index is calculated on the basis of a wide selection of listed shares weighted according to the number of shares outstanding. This weighted average method is also used for the Standard and Poor's Index in the United States and the Nikkei Stock Average in Japan. The TSE Index is compiled by dividing the market value by the base day's total market value for the index shares. The TSE Index is the oldest and most widely quoted market index in Taiwan.
The weighting of shares in the index is fixed as long as the number of shares outstanding remains constant. When the total number of shares outstanding changes, the weight of each stock is adjusted. Stock splits and stock dividends are adjusted automatically. Cash dividends are not included in the calculation.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information relating to the TSE Index.

As indicated above, the performance of the TSE has in recent years been characterized by extreme price volatility.
Price Limits, Commissions, Transaction Tax and Other Matters
The TSE has placed limits on block trading and on the range of daily price movements. Fluctuations in the price of securities traded on the TSE is restricted to 7% above and below the previous day's closing price in the case of equity securities, and 5% in the case of debt securities. The price limit for movements below the previous day's closing price has been modified from time to time by MOF based on market conditions.
B-2
Effective July 1, 2000, brokerage commission can be set at any rate not exceeding 0.1425% of the transaction price subject to reporting to the TSE.
A securities transaction tax of 0.3% of the transaction price is payable by the seller of equity securities. These securities transaction taxes are withheld at the time of the transaction. According to the amended ROC Statute of Upgrading Industries, which became effective on February 1, 2002, no securities transaction tax will be imposed on the transfer of corporate bonds and financial debentures (including the Notes) until December 31, 2009.
Sales of shares of listed companies on the TSE are generally sold in "round lots" of 1,000 shares. Investors who desire to sell less than 1,000 shares of a listed company occasionally experience delays in making these sales. Transactions that involve 500 trading lots (500,000 shares) or more must be registered and executed in accordance with TSE guidelines.
Regulation and Supervision
The ROC SFC has extensive regulatory authority over public companies. Public companies are generally required to obtain approval from, or registration with, the ROC SFC for all securities offerings. The ROC SFC requires periodic reporting of financial and operating information by all public companies. In addition, the ROC SFC establishes standards for financial reporting and carries out licensing and supervision of participants in the Taiwan securities market.
The Securities and Futures Commission has responsibility for implementing the ROC Securities and Exchange Law and for overall administration of governmental policies in the Taiwan securities market. It has extensive regulatory authority over the offering, issuance and trading of securities. In addition, the ROC Securities and Exchange Law specifically empowers the Securities and Futures Commission to promulgate necessary rules. The ROC Securities and Exchange Law prohibits market manipulation. For example, it permits an issuer to recover short-term trading profits made through purchases and sales within six months by directors, managerial personnel, supervisors, as well as the spouses, minor children and nominees of these parties, and shareholders who (together with their spouses, minor children and nominees) hold 10% or more of the shares of the issuer. The ROC Securities and Exchange Law prohibits trading by "insiders" based on non-public information that materially affects share price movement. "Insiders" include:
-
directors, supervisors, managers, as well as the spouses, minor children and nominees of these parties, and shareholders (together with their spouses, minor children and nominees) who hold 10% or more of the issuing company's shares;
-
any person who has learned material, non public information due to an occupational or controlling relationship with the issuing company; and
-
any person who has learned material, non-public information from any of the above.
-
Sanctions include imprisonment. In addition, damages may be awarded to persons injured by the transaction.
The ROC Securities and Exchange Law also imposes criminal liability on certified public accountants and lawyers who make false certifications in their examination and audit of an issuer's contracts, reports and other documents related to securities transactions. The ROC SFC regulations require that financial reports of listed companies be audited by accounting firms consisting of at least three certified public accountants and be signed by at least two certified public accountants.
In addition, the ROC Securities and Exchange Law provides for civil liability for material misstatements or omissions made by issuers and regulation of tender offers.
B-3
The ROC SFC does not have criminal or civil enforcement powers under the ROC Securities and Exchange Law. Criminal actions may be pursued only by the government prosecutors. Civil actions may only be brought by plaintiffs who assert that they have suffered damages. The ROC SFC is empowered to curb abuses and violations of laws and regulations only through administrative measures including:
-
issuance of warnings;
-
temporary suspension of operation;
-
imposition of administrative fines; and
-
revocation of licenses.
In addition to providing a market for securities trading, the TSE reviews applications by Taiwan issuers to list securities on the TSE. If issuers of listed securities violate laws and regulations or encounter extended or severe negative results of operations, the TSE may, with the approval of the ROC SFC, delist securities of these issuers.

Report of Independent Accountants
To Delta Electronics, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Delta Electronics, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income, of changes in stockholders' equity and of cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the 2000 and 2001 consolidated financial statements of Delta International Holding Ltd., a consolidated subsidiary, which statements reflect consolidated total assets of NT$29,630,552,000 and NT$31,590,545,000, constituting 61% and 60%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2000 and 2001, and consolidated operating revenues of NT$43,516,595,000 and NT$36,592,672,000, constituting 85% and 86%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated operating revenues for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001. The subsidiary's consolidated financial statements were audited by other auditors whose reports thereon have been furnished to us. In addition, as explained in Note 4(5), the financial statements of certain investee companies for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, accounted for under the equity method, were audited by other auditors whose reports thereon have been furnished to us. The total amount of long-term investments and other liabilities - others in these investee companies at December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 were NT$5,480,566,000, NT$9,541,000, NT$6,529,606,000, NT$2,759,000, and NT$5,457,426,000, NT$2,950,000, respectively, and the related investment income was NT$443,108,000, NT$442,006,000 and NT$331,030,000 for the years then ended, respectively. Our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements in respect of the above mentioned consolidated subsidiary and the long-term investments, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.
F-1
We conducted our audits in accordance with the "Rules Governing Examinations of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants" and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall consolidated financial statements presentation. We believe that our audits and the reports of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Delta Electronics, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with the ''Rules Governing Preparation of the Financial Statements of Securities Issuers" and generally accepted accounting principles in the Republic of China.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2002 expressed in US dollars are presented solely for the convenience of the reader and were translated from the New Taiwan dollars financial statements using the exchange rate of NT$34.75 to US$1.00 at December 31, 2002. This basis of translation is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the Republic of China.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are not intended to present the financial position and results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in countries and jurisdictions other than the Republic of China. The standards, procedures and practices in the Republic of China governing the audit of such consolidated financial statements may differ from those generally accepted in countries and jurisdictions other than the Republic of China. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements and report of the independent accountants are not intended for use by those who are not informed about the accounting principles or auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, and their applications in practice.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
F-12
(1) Principles of consolidation
-
A. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the consolidated financial statements of Delta International Holding Ltd. And Delta Networks Holding Ltd., after eliminating all significant intercompany accounts and transactions.
-
B. For long-term investments in which the Company owns more than 50% of the voting rights of the subsidiary, consolidated financial statements are prepared.
Where the total assets and total operating revenue of a subsidiary constitute less than 10% of the Company’s respective unconsolidated total assets and operating revenues, the subsidiary's financial statements are not consolidated but are accounted for using the equity method. Irrespective of the above test, when the combined total assets or operating revenues of all such unconsolidated subsidiaries exceed 30% of the Company’s unconsolidated total assets or operating revenues, then each individual subsidiary whose total assets or operating revenues are greater than 3% of the Company’s unconsolidated total assets or operating revenues is consolidated .
(2) Translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries
Assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries are translated into New Taiwan dollars using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date; equity accounts are translated at historical rates, except for beginning retained earnings which are transferred from prior year's ending retained earnings; profit and loss accounts are translated using the weighted average rate of the year. Exchange differences are recorded as translation adjustments and are included as a component of the stockholders' equity.
(3) Translation of foreign currency transactions
The accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries are maintained in their functional currencies. Receivables, other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into their functional currencies at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Transactions denominated in foreign currency, except forward exchange contracts, are translated into their functional currencies at the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates. Foreign currency gains or losses are included in current net income.
F-13
(4) Foreign currency option contracts
Premiums or discounts on option contracts are recorded at cost. Premiums or discounts and unrealized gains or losses on option contracts entered into for hedging purposes are deferred and amortized over the contract period on a straight line basis.
(5) Forward exchange contracts
Forward exchange contracts entered into for hedging purposes are recorded using the spot rate on the contract date. Discounts or premiums on forward contracts are amortized over the periods of the contract. Gains or losses on forward contracts are determined by the difference between applying the spot rate at the balance sheet date and the spot rate at the date of inception of the contract to the outstanding contracts at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains or losses are included in current net income.
(6) Cross currency swap contracts
Cross currency swap contracts entered into for hedging purposes are recorded using the contract rate on the contract date and recorded as accrued receivable and accrued payable, respectively. Interest receivable and interest payable are accrued in accordance with the contract rate. Gains or losses on cross currency swap contracts are determined by the difference between applying the spot rate at the balance sheet date and the spot rate at the date of inception of the contract to the accrued receivables and payables and interest receivable and payable of outstanding contracts at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains or losses are included in current net income.
(7) Short-term investments
Short-term investments are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is calculated by the weighted-average method.
(8) Allowance for doubtful accounts
Allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on an evaluation of the collectibility of ending balances of notes receivable, accounts receivable and other receivables.
(9) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value; cost is determined by the standard cost. Variances from standard cost are allocated to ending inventories and cost of goods sold at the end of each period. When comparing
F-14
with market value, current replacement price is used for materials. Net realizable value is used as market value for work in process and finished goods. Provision is made for obsolete inventories at balance sheet date.
(10) Funds and long-term investments
A. Long-term investments
- (A) Long-term investments in which the Company owns less than 20% of the voting rights of the investee company and has no significant influence on the investee company's operational decisions are accounted for by the lower of cost or market value method if the investee company is listed, and by the cost method if the investee company is not listed.
If the Company owns at least 20% of the voting rights of the investee company, the investment is accounted for by the equity method, unless there is evidence that the Company cannot exercise significant influence over the investee company.

Review report of Independent Accountants
To Delta Electronics, Inc.
We have reviewed the accompanying non-consolidated balance sheets of Delta Electronics, Inc. as of March 31, 2002 and 2003, and the related non-consolidated statements of income, and of cash flows for the three-month periods then ended. These non-consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to report on these non-consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.
Expect as explained in the third paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with the R.O.C. SAS No.36 "Review of Financial Statements" in the Republic of China. A review consists principally of inquires of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
As described in Note 4(5), the non-consolidated financial statements included long-term investments and other liabilities-others in certain investee companies as of March 31, 2002 and 2003 amounting to NT$25,829,505,000, NT$29,422,384,000, and NT$5,989,000, NT$1,899,000, respectively, and the related investment income were NT$922,151,000 and NT$992,480,000, for the three-month periods then ended, respectively, which were accounted for under the equity method based on the financial statements of the investee companies as of those dates. These financial statements were not reviewed by independent auditors. Information of certain investee companies disclosed in Note 11(2) was based on their financial statements that were not reviewed by independent auditors.
F-84
Based on our reviews, except for the effects on the non-consolidated financial statements and disclosure information of investee companies of such adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had the financial statements of the investee companies been reviewed as explained in the preceding paragraph, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the non-consolidated financial statements referred to in the first paragraph in order for them to be in conformity with the "Rules Governing Preparation of the Financial Statements of Securities Issuers" and generally accepted accounting principles in the Republic of China.
The non-consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 expressed in US dollars are presented solely for the convenience of the reader and were translated from the New Taiwan dollars financial statements using the exchange rate of NT$34.75 to US$1.00 at March 31, 2003. This basis of translation is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the Republic of China.
PricewaterhouseCoopers Taipei, Taiwan Republic of China April 17, 2003
The accompanying non-consolidated financial statements are not intended to present the financial position and results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in countries and jurisdictions other than the Republic of China. The standards, procedures and practices in the Republic of China governing the review of such financial statements may differ from those generally accepted in countries and jurisdictions other than the Republic of China. Accordingly, the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements and review report of the independent accountants are not intended for use by those who are not informed about the accounting principles or review standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, and their applications in practice.

DELTA ELECTRONICS, INC.
NOTES TO NON-CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2002 AND 2003
(EXPRESSED IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, EXCEPT AS INDICATED) (UNAUDITED)
1. HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION
The Company was incorporated in April 1971 under the provisions of the Company Law of the Republic of China (R.O.C.) as a company limited by shares. The total outstanding capital was NT$13,878,790 (US$399,390) as of March 31, 2003. The main activities of the Company are installation of electronic control systems and developing, designing, manufacturing and selling of communication products and components, computer information system and power supply. The total employee of the Company were 3,118 as of March 31, 2003.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying non-consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with the "Rules Governing Preparation of the Financial Statements of Securities Issuers" and generally accepted accounting principles in the Republic of China. Significant accounting policies were summarized as follows:
(1) Translation of foreign currency transactions
The accounts of the Company are maintained in New Taiwan dollars. Receivables, other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies, except forward exchange contracts, are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Foreign currency gains or losses are included in current net income.
(2) Foreign currency option contracts
Premiums or discounts on option contracts are stated at cost less amortization. Premiums or discounts or unrealized gains or losses on option contracts entered into for hedging purposes are deferred and amortized over the contract period on a straight-line basis.
F-90
(3) Forward exchange contracts
Forward exchange contracts entered into for hedging purposes are recorded using the spot rate on the contract date. Discounts or premiums on forward contracts are amortized over the periods of the contract. Gains or losses on forward contracts are determined by the difference between applying the spot rate at the balance sheet date and the spot rate at the date of inception of the contract to the outstanding contracts at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains or losses are included in current net income.
(4) Cross currency swap contracts
Cross currency swap contracts entered into for hedging purposes are recorded using the contract rate on the contract date and recorded as accrued receivable and accrued payable, respectively. Interest receivable and interest payable are accrued in accordance with the contract rate. Gains or losses on cross currency swap contracts are determined by the difference between applying the spot rate at the balance sheet date and the spot rate at the date of inception of the contract to the accrued receivables and payables and interest receivables and payables of outstanding contracts at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains or losses are included in current net income.
(5) Short-term investments
Short-term investments are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is calculated by the weight-average method.
(6) Allowance for doubtful accounts
Allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on an evaluation of the collectibility of ending balances of notes receivable, accounts receivable and other receivables.
(7) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value; cost is determined by the standard cost. Variance from standard cost are allocated to ending inventory and cost of goods sold at the end of each period. When determining market value, the current replacement price is used for materials while net realizable value is used as market value for work in process and finished goods. Provision is made for obsolete inventories at balance sheet date.
F-91
(8) Funds and Long-term investments
-
A. Long-term investments
-
(A) Long-term investments in which the Company owns less than 20% of the voting rights of the investee company and has no significant influence on the investee company's operational decisions are accounted for by the lower of cost or market value method, if the investee company is listed, and by the cost method if the investee company is not listed.
If the Company owns at least 20% of the voting rights of the investee company, the investment is accounted for by the equity method, unless there is evidence that the Company has no ability to exercise significant influence over the investee company. The significant unrealized gains or losses arising from transactions between the Company and investee companies are eliminated in preparing the non-consolidated financial statements.
- (B) Foreign investments in which the Company owns less than 20% of the voting rights of the investee company are accounted for by the cost method. The original cost is accounted for based on actual remittance amount. Investments in foreign currency are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date; unrealized exchange loss (and subsequent recoveries to the extent they do not exceed original cost) is treated as translation adjustment of long-term investments under stockholders' equity.
Under the equity method, the foreign investee company's financial statements are translated into New Taiwan dollars and the Company recognizes its proportionate share of the exchange gains or losses resulting from the translation process of the foreign investee and includes in a cumulative translation adjustment account in the stockholders' equity.
- (C) Capital reserve and long-term investment amounts are adjusted by the variance between the investment cost and the net asset of the investee company due to the disproportionate acquisition of shares in connection with the capital increase by the investee company accounted for under the equity method or disposal of shares. If the
F-92
capital reserve arising from long-term investment is not sufficient, then retained earnings is debited.
-
(D) The Company recognizes its proportionate share of the unrealized loss on market value decline of long-term investments of the investee company accounted for under the equity method and is shown under the stockholders' equity.
-
(E) Under the equity method, the excess of the investment cost over the underlying equity in net assets of the investee companies at the date of investment is amortized over 5 years. The excess of the investment cost over the underlying equity in net assets of the investee companies at the date of changing from cost method to equity method is not retroactively adjusted but is amortized over 20 years prospectively.
-
(F) The use of the equity method is discontinued if accumulative losses on investment reduce the balance of the investment to zero, unless the Company has sufficient evidence to indicate that the investee company’s losses are temporary or where the Company has a commitment to provide financial support to the investee company or acts as guarantor for loans made to the investee company. The credit balances of the individual investments are reported in the balance sheet as other liabilities.
-
B. Cash surrender value of life insurance
The cash surrender value of life insurance is recorded as an asset and classified as long-term investment. The increase in cash surrender value during the period is accounted for as an adjustment to insurance premiums paid.
(9) Property, plant and equipment
-
A. With the exception of land, which is carried at appraised value, property, plant and equipment are carried at cost.
-
B. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets plus one year as salvage value except for leasehold improvements which is based on the period of the contract. Salvage values of fixed assets, which are still in use after the end of their estimated useful lives, are depreciated over the newly estimated remaining useful lives of the assets.
Commencing from 2001, depreciation of new assets purchased is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, with a nominal salvage value of NT$1.00 (in dollar).
F-93
The estimated useful lives of fixed assets are 2 to 8 years, except for buildings which are 5 to 55 years.
-
C. Major renewals and improvements are treated as capital expenditures and are depreciated accordingly. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When an asset is sold or retired, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in current non-operating income or loss.
-
D. Leased assets are transferred to other assets at book value and the related depreciations are recorded as non-operating expenses.
(10) Deferred charges
Deferred charges are amortized over the estimated useful lives based on the straight-line method, except for the issuance costs for convertible bonds which are amortized over the outstanding period of the bonds. The unamortized bonds issuance costs relating to the bonds converted or redeemed before the maturity date are transferred to expense at the date of redemption or conversion.
(11) Retirement plan
- A. The Company maintains a defined benefit employee retirement plan (the Plan) covering all regular employees. Benefits under the Plan are generally determined based upon years of credited service, age at retirement and average compensation. The Company has been contributing to an independent retirement trust fund since 1986. As approved by the government in November 1990, the Company suspended contributing to an independent retirement trust fund. The Company resumed contributing to the fund at a fixed rate equal to 2% of monthly salaries and wages since July 1999.
The trust fund assets are not reflected in the Company's financial statements.
- B. The Company recognized minimum pension liability for the excess of accumulated benefit obligation over the fair value of plan assets and pension costs based on actuarial valuation. In preparing interim financial statements, the minimum pension liability is adjusted by current net pension cost and fund contribution.
F-94
(12) Convertible bonds
-
A. When a bondholder exercises his/her conversion rights, the book value of the bond is credited to common stock at an amount equal to the par value of the stock and the excess is credited to capital reserve; no gain or loss is recognized on the conversion.
-
B. The related issuance costs for convertible bonds are recorded as deferred charges, and are amortized over the life of the bonds. The unamortized bonds issuance costs related to the bonds converted or redeemed before the maturity date are charged to expenses upon conversion or redemption.
(13) Income tax
-
A. The Company adopted R.O.C. FAS No.22 "Accounting for Income Tax" and FAS No.12 "Accounting for Income Tax Credit". Income tax credit was recognized in current year.
-
B. Over or under provision of prior years' income tax liabilities is included in the current year's income tax expense.
(14) Earnings per share
-
A. In accordance with R.O.C. FAS No. 24 "Earnings Per Common Share" as revised in November 1, 2001, the basic and diluted earnings per share are disclosed in income statements. The computation of earnings per share is as follows:
-
(A) Basic earnings per share: net income is divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.
-
(B) Diluted earnings per share: the computation is the same as basic earnings per share, except for the potentially dilutive securities were assumed to have been converted to common stock at the beginning of the period and net income is adjusted by amount associated with the conversion.
-
B. The potentially dilutive securities consisted of Euro convertible bonds. The Company adopted the "if converted method" in computing the dilutive effect of the Euro convertible bonds.
F-95
(15) Revenue, cost and expense recognition
Revenue is recognized when the earning process is completed and realized or realizable. Costs and expenses are recorded as incurred. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, except for costs of machinery used in R & D which are capitalized.
(16) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingencies at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue, costs and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those assumptions and estimates.
(17) Convenience translation into US dollars
The Company maintains its accounting records and prepares its financial the statements in New Taiwan dollars. The United States dollar amounts disclosed in the 2003 financial statements are presented solely for the convenience of the reader and were translated to US dollar using the exchange rate of NT$34.75=US$1.00, the average of the buying and selling rates published by the Hua Nan Bank on December 31, 2002. Such translation amounts are unaudited and should not be construed as representations that the New Taiwan dollar amounts represent, or have been or could be converted into United States dollars at the or any other rate.

The related assumptions on the fair value of non-derivative assets and liabilities are as follows:
-
D. Non-derivative assets and liabilities with fair values equal to book values.
-
(A) The carrying amounts of short-term non-derivative assets and liabilities including cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable and accounts receivable, other receivables, short-term loans, commercial paper payable, accounts payable, income tax payable, accrued expenses, other payables and other current liabilities are equal to their fair values because of their short-term maturities.
-
(B) The fair value of cash surrender value of life insurance is based on the book value at balance sheet date.
-
(C) The fair values of deposits-out and deposits-in are based on book value, which approximate the present value.
-
(D) The fair value of convertible bonds, including current portion of long-term loans, is based on book value at balance sheet date. According to the terms and condition of ECB III, the interest rate is zero, and the redemption price is equal to the face value. The discounted value was not easily determinable and the foreign amount was translated into New Taiwan dollars using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date.
-
(E) The fair value of long-term loans is based on book value because there is no significant difference in the discounted value of future cash flows and the carrying amount of long-term loans.
-
E. The fair values of short-term investments are based on the market values at the balance sheet date.
-
F. The fair values of long-term investments are based on their market values at the balance sheet date or the underlying equity in net assets if market value is not available.
-
G. The fair value of reserve for retirement plan is the funded status based on the retirement actuarial report as of December 31, 2001 and 2002, adjusted by the pension costs recognized and contributions to pension fund for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2003.
