RISK FACTORS
Prior to making an investment decision, each investor in, and potential buyer of, the Bonds should carefully
consider the following risk factors, along with the other matters set out in this Offering Circular. The
following risk factors could affect the Company's actual results and could cause them to differ materially
from estimates in any forward-looking statements given by or on behalf of the Company. In addition, unless
otherwise indicated, all industry estimates and figures provided in this Offering Circular, such as market
share and industry trends, are based solely on data available to the Company and the Company¡¦s internal
evaluation thereof, and have not been independently verified by the Company. Finally, any potential
investor in, and buyer of, the Bonds should pay particular attention to the fact that the Company is governed
in the ROC by a legal and regulatory environment which in some respects may be different from that which
prevails in other countries.
RISKS RELATING TO THE COMPANY AND ITS BUSINESS
Dependence on Taiwan¡¦s economy and real estate markets
The Company presently conducts most of its business in Taipei City. The condition of real estate market in
Taipei City is in line with Taiwan¡¦s economic condition. Weak economy in Taiwan is likely to cause
excessive inventories and low sale prices, which will affect the Company¡¦s business and financial conditions.
A prolonged economic downturn in Taiwan would have a material adverse effect on the business of the
Company.
Access to financing
The construction industry can be characterized as capital intensive and require expenditures for construction
and for land purchases and development. Accordingly, the Company has incurred substantial indebtedness
to finance its construction, land acquisition and development activities. If the Company identifies
significant new acquisition opportunities, or if the Company does not generate sufficient cash from its
operations at levels currently anticipated, the Company may be required to seek additional capital in the
form of equity or debt financing. If the Company is not successful in obtaining sufficient capital to fund its
planned projects, the development and completion of new projects may be constrained. Failure to obtain
sufficient funding may adversely affect the Company's future results of operations.
Land policies and position
Historically, the Company has made significant investments in land, primarily in Taipei City. However, due
to the limited supply, it is difficult to acquire land for construction in Taipei City. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to acquire suitable land for its construction projects. Moreover, this may
require the Company to make significant investments in land that the Company may be required to hold the
land it acquired as inventory for an extended period until economic conditions justify the development of
such land. If the Company is unable to locate or acquire suitable land which it can profitably develop, its
business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Real estate development and investment risks
The value of, and the Company¡¦s income from, the Company¡¦s properties may decline due to developments
that adversely affect real estate generally and those that are specific to the Company¡¦s properties. General
factors that may adversely affect the Company¡¦s real estate portfolios include:
z increases in interest rates;
z a general tightening of the availability of credit;
z a decline in the economic conditions in the Company¡¦s markets;
z an increase in competition for customers or a decrease in demand by customers;
z an increase in supply of the Company¡¦s product types in the Company¡¦s markets;
z declines in consumer spending during an economic recession that adversely affect the Company¡¦s
revenue; and
z the adoption on the national or local level of more restrictive laws and governmental regulations,
including more restrictive zoning, land or environmental regulations and increased real estate taxes.
- 8 -

In addition, there are factors that may adversely affect the value of, and the Company¡¦s income from,
specific properties, including:
z adverse changes in the perceptions of prospective purchasers of the attractiveness of the property;
z opposition from local community or political groups with respect to development or construction at a
particular site;
z the Company¡¦s inability to provide adequate management and maintenance or to obtain adequate
insurance;
z the Company¡¦s inability to collect receivables;
z an increase in operating costs;
z introduction of a competitor¡¦s property in or in close proximity to the Company¡¦s current markets; and
z earthquakes and other natural disasters.
Development projects may exceed budget or be prevented from completion
The Company¡¦s development projects may exceed budget or be prevented from completion for many
reasons, including:
z an inability to secure sufficient financing on favorable terms, including an inability to refinance
construction loans;
z construction delays or cost overruns, either of which may increase project development costs;
z an inability to obtain zoning, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations;
and
z failure to achieve or sustain anticipated occupancy or sales levels.
The occurrence of one or more of the above risks could result in significant delays or unexpected expenses.
If any of these occurs, the Company may not achieve its projected returns on properties under development
and the Company could lose some or all of its investments in those properties.
The Company periodically serves as the construction manager for its development projects. The
construction of real estate projects entails unique risks, including risks that the project will fail to conform to
building plans, specifications and timetables. These failures could be caused by strikes, weather,
government regulations and other conditions beyond the Company¡¦s control. In addition, the Company may
become liable for injuries and accidents occurring during the construction process that are not insured.
Economic decline in the Company¡¦s markets
The Company¡¦s core market is Taipei City. A downturn in Taipei City may impair:
z the Company¡¦s ability to market new developments to prospective purchasers;
z land sales; and
z occupancy rates for commercial and residential properties.
Inability to sell unsold properties
Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, the Company may be unable to dispose of unsold
properties and may be unable to reposition its portfolio in response to changes in regional or local real estate
markets. As a result, the Company may incur additional operating expenses from some of its unsold
properties.
Downward pressure on gross margin
The increase in the cost of construction material and labour has subjected the Company to pressure on prices
and margins. Although the Company has taken specific measures such as diligent planning and evaluation
of engineering, strengthening the management of construction cost, special emphasis on selecting highquality
construction material, and extensive comparison of suppliers, there is no assurance that the
Company's gross margins will not continue to be subject to downward pressure as a result of the factors
mentioned above, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company's results of operations and
prospects.
- 9 -

The debt ratio of the Company is above the industry average
Most players in the real estate industry have under-performed due to intensive competition in this sector.
The Company¡¦s situation has been exacerbated by its relatively higher debt ratio compared to its competitors
such as Kindom Construction Corporation (¡§Kindom¡¨) and Hung Poo Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.
(¡§Hung Poo¡¨). In the year of 2003, the Company had a debt ratio of 65.23% while those of Kindom and
Hong Poo were 38.54% and 15.41%, respectively, making the investment in the Company more risky. As of
September 30, 2004, the Company had a debt ratio of approximately 65.48% while those of Kindom and
Hong Poo were 35.27% and 32.67%, respectively.
The Company¡¦s liquidity is not in a safe and sound condition judging from its current cash flow and
current debts
As at September 30, 2004, the Company¡¦s current liabilities were NT$4,762 million, and its cash and cash
equivalents were NT$185 million. Although the Company¡¦s cash and cash equivalents as at September 30,
2004 has a 660.71% increase from NT$28 million for the corresponding period in 2003, there is no
assurance that the Company will be able to manage its liquidity in a manner as to ensure that the Company is
able to promptly repay its debts as and when they fall due. The inability of the Company to maintain its
liquidity could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.
Unexpected downward adjustment of the Company¡¦s business revenue
The Company adjusted its financial forecast downwards in 2003 due to a cancellation of contract by a major
customer of the pre-sale units. The selling price of the pre-sale units was NT$1,012million (sales tax
inclusive). The sales return resulted in a reduction of combined sales revenue in the amount of NT$1,012
million, a reduction of operating cost of NT$632 million and thus a reduction of combined operating profit
in the amount of NT$380 million and a reduction of combined profit before tax of NT$380 million in 2003.
There is no assurance that the Company will not encounter the same problem in the future.
Variability of operational results
The Company historically has experienced, and in the future expects to continue to experience, variability in
sales and net income on an annual and a quarterly basis. Factors expected to contribute to this variability
include, among others:
z the timing of completion of construction and closings;
z the ability to continue to acquire land thereon under acceptable terms;
z the timing of receipt of regulatory approvals for the construction of buildings;
z the condition of the real estate market and general economic conditions in the Company's local
markets;
z the cyclical nature of the real estate industry;
z the prevailing interest rates and the availability of mortgage financing;
z pricing policies of competitors;
z the timing of the opening of new projects;
z the cost and availability of materials and labor.
The Company's historical financial performance is not necessarily a meaningful indicator of future results
and, in particular, the Company expects its financial results to vary from project to project and from period
to period.
Competition
The construction industry is highly competitive and fragmented. Construction companies compete for
desirable properties, financing, materials and skilful labor. The Company competes with different
competitors depending upon the type of building or geographic area. The Company competes for sales with
large construction companies, some of which have greater financial resources than the Company, and
smaller construction companies, which may have lower administrative costs. The Company also competes
for sales with individual resales of existing real estates. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to continue to compete successfully in any of its markets. The inability of the Company to continue to
compete successfully in any of its markets could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition or results of operations.
- 10 -

Interest rates; mortgage financing
Virtually all purchasers of the Company's residential buildings finance their acquisitions through third-party
lenders providing mortgage financing. In general, housing demand is adversely affected by increases in
interest rates, decreasing availability of mortgage financing, increasing housing costs and unemployment. If
mortgage interest rates increase and, as a result, the ability of prospective buyers to finance home purchases
is adversely affected, the Company's operating results may be significantly negatively impacted. The
Company's home building activities are also dependent upon the availability and cost to home buyers of
mortgage financing.
Government regulations and environmental matters
The Company and its competitors are subject to various statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations
concerning zoning, resource protection (protection of wetlands, woodlands and hillside areas), building
design, construction and similar matters. The Company may also be subject to periodic delays in its
building projects due to building moratoriums. Such moratoriums generally relate to insufficient water
supplies, sewage facilities, delays in utility hook-ups, or inadequate road capacity within specific market
areas or subdivisions. In addition, certain new development projects are subject to various assessments for
schools, parks, streets and highways and other public improvements, the costs of which can be substantial.
By raising the cost of the Company's buildings to its customers, an increase in such assessments could have
a negative impact on the Company's sales.
Investment risks
The Company has certain interests in a number of subsidiaries and have booked investment loss in 2003.
From time to time, the Company reviews its investment opportunities and may, if a suitable opportunity
arises, make an investment. Future investments may be in the form of capital expenditure made directly or
through subsidiaries, or acquisitions of, or investments in, other businesses or joint ventures with third
parties. No assurance can be given that the investments will benefit the Company. An unsuccessful
investment could have a material adverse impact on the Company¡¦s operations and prospects.
Transactions with related parties
The Company has entered into various transactions with its related parties, including but not limited to
entering into construction contracts with its subsidiary and providing guaranty to its related parties for their
borrowing needs. As of September 30, 2004, all of the Company¡¦s projects are contracted to be built by the
Company¡¦s subsidiary, Tai Cheng Construction Company (¡§Tai Cheng¡¨). The Company may enter into
additional transactions with its related parties in the future. Although the Company believes that such
transactions are legal, there is no assurance that transactions with related parties will not adversely affect the
financial or other conditions of the Company.
The Company may face potential liability with respect to building defects
The contracts entered into by the Company with its customers generally include warranties that the buildings
the Company sold will be free from defects and in a condition that meets the general market safety standards.
To the extent that the buildings sold by the Company to its customers do not, or are not deemed to, satisfy
such warranties, the Company could be responsible for the repairing or replacing of any defective buildings,
or, in certain circumstances, for the cost of effecting a repurchase of all buildings which might contain a
similar defect, as well as for consequential damages. In addition, liabilities resulting from personal or public
safety are usually in large amounts, and may affect the Company¡¦s image and reputation, which may have a
material adverse effect on the Company¡¦s business.
Reliance on key personnel and qualified employees
The Company's success depends on the continued service of its executive officers and its ability to attract
and retain highly qualified management, engineering and skilled technical personnel. The process of hiring
employees with the combination of skills and attributes required to implement the Company's strategy can
be extremely competitive and time-consuming. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
attract and retain personnel qualified to meet the Company¡¦s needs. The loss of the services of key
- 11 -

personnel, inability to adequately replace them or the inability to attract additional qualified personnel, could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.
The Company¡¦s chairman is involved in a criminal litigation
Mr. Lin, Rong Sian, the Company¡¦s Chairman, is involved in a criminal litigation pending the decision of the
Taiwan High Court. Mr. Lin was charged with bribery of the Taipei County Government officials in
connection with change of his land zone and the registration of the change of ownership. The charge was
based on the ROC Statute for the Punishment of Corruption. Mr. Lin was found not guilty by both the Pan-
Ciao District Court and the Taiwan High Court because no preponderance evidences was found during the
trials. The public prosecutor appealed to the Supreme Court of the ROC. The Supreme Court voided the
Taiwan High Court¡¦s judgment and ordered the Taiwan High Court to further review the case. The case was
in the retrial proceedings in the Taiwan High Court. Mr. Lin has been vigorously defending himself against
the allegations against him. In addition, according to the legal opinion of Mr. Lin¡¦s counsel, Mr. Huang
Ming Chao, the charges against Mr. Lin is without merit. However, there can be no assurance that Mr. Lin
will ultimately prevail in this litigation. If Mr. Lin is found guilty by the Taiwan High Court and the
judgment is final, there can be no assurance that the Company¡¦s business or management will not be
materially and adversely affected.
RISKS RELATING TO THE BONDS AND THE SHARES
As of April 27, 2004, the Company's directors and supervisors, together with members of their immediate
families, owned of record approximately 91,258,343 shares, or approximately 37.47% of the Company's
outstanding Shares. While no single person, as far as known to the Company, exercises or could exercise
control over the Company, the Company's directors and supervisors have and will continue to have the
ability to exercise a significant influence over the Company's business and policy, including the matters
relating to the management and polices, the timing and distribution of dividends and the election of the
directors and supervisors of the Company. This influence may be exercised in a way that may not be
consistent with the interest of other shareholders.
The Bondholders' ability to exercise their conversion rights may be limited. The Bonds are convertible into
Shares at the option of the converting Bondholders pursuant to the terms of the Bonds. Purchasers of the
Bonds will not be able to exercise their conversion right during the Closed Periods, as defined in the terms
and conditions of the Bonds. Holders of the Bonds are not entitled to any rights with respect to the
Company¡¦s common stock (including voting rights and rights to receive any dividends or other distributions
on the Company¡¦s common stock) unless and until such Bondholders exercise their conversion rights.
Under current ROC law, regulations and policy, People's Republic of China "PRC" persons are not
permitted to hold or convert the Bonds or to register as shareholders of the Company.
A liquid market for the Bonds and Shares may not develop. No application has been made to have the
Bonds listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or any securities exchange. The trading market for the
Shares is the TSE on which the Shares were listed in December of 2000. The Shares will not be listed on the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
Shares eligible for future sale by the current shareholders or the Bondholders (after conversion of the Bonds
into Shares) will dilute the ownership interests of existing shareholders and may adversely affect the market
price of the Shares. While the Company is not aware of any plans by any major shareholders to dispose of a
significant amount of Shares, it cannot assure that one or more of the shareholders will not dispose of the
Shares in the future. The Company also cannot predict the effect, if any, that future sales of the Shares, or
the availability of the Shares for future sale, will have on the market price of the Company¡¦s common stock
prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of common shares in the public market, or the
perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of the Company¡¦s
common stock.
When a non-ROC holder exercises its conversion rights to receive Shares and register as a shareholder of the
Company, such holder will be required to appoint an agent (a "Tax Guarantor") in the ROC. Such Tax
Guarantor will be required to meet the qualifications set by the ROC Ministry of Finance (the "ROC MOF")
and will act as the guarantor of such holder's tax payment obligations. Evidence of the appointment of a Tax
Guarantor and the approval of such appointment is required as conditions to withdrawing such holder's
profits derived from the sale of Shares. There can be no assurance that such holder will be able to appoint

In addition, under current ROC law, such converting or withdrawing holder is required to appoint a local
agent in the ROC to, among other things, open a securities trading account with a local securities brokerage
firm and a bank account, remit funds and exercise a shareholder's rights. Further, such converting or
withdrawing holder must appoint a local bank to act as custodian for confirmation and settlement of trades,
safekeeping of securities and cash proceeds and reporting and declaration of information. Without satisfying
these requirements, converting holders that receive Shares or withdraw and hold Shares represented thereby
would not be able to hold or otherwise transfer Shares on the TSE.
RISKS RELATING TO THE ROC
Risks Relating to the ROC Securities Market
The ROC securities markets are smaller and more volatile than the securities markets in the United States
and in certain European and other countries. The TSE and the GreTai Securities Market (¡§GTSM¡¨) have
experienced substantial fluctuations in the prices and volumes of sales of listed securities, and there are
currently limits on the range of daily price movements on the TSE and the GTSM. In the past decade, the
Taiwan Stock Exchange Index (the "TSE Index") peaked at 10,393.59 in February 2000, and reached a low
of 3,411.68 in September 2001. During 2003, the TSE Index peaked at 6,182.20 in November, 2003, and
reached a low of 4.044.73 in April 2003. On December 31, 2003, the TSE Index closed at 5,890 and the
closing price of the Shares on the TSE was NT$20.20 per Share. The TSE and the GTSM have in the past
experienced problems such as market manipulation, insider trading and payment defaults. The recurrence of
these or similar problems could adversely affect the market price and liquidity of the securities of ROC
companies, including the Shares, in both the domestic and the international markets.
The Political Status and International Relations of the ROC May Affect the Company and the Bonds
The Company is incorporated in the ROC. The ROC has a unique international political status. Although the
Chinese nation has existed for several thousand years, since 1949, Taiwan and the Chinese mainland have
been separately governed. The ROC, which was founded in 1912, governs Taiwan while the PRC, which
was founded in 1949, has governed the Chinese mainland for over the past 50 years. The former President
of the ROC asserted that the ROC and the PRC are equal political entities which should enter into a "special
state to state" relations, while the PRC claims that it is the sole government in China and that Taiwan is part
of China. Although significant economic and cultural relations have been established during recent years
between the ROC and the PRC, the PRC has refused to renounce the possibility that it may at some point use
force to gain control over the ROC. These developments have had from time to time an adverse effect on
the value of the TSE Index and the price of the Shares. Relations between the ROC and the PRC may also
have an adverse effect on the ROC's economy, the Company's results of operation, and the market price and
liquidity of the Shares and the Bonds. There can be no assurance that the present tensions will not worsen,
which could have a significant adverse impact on the ROC's economy, the value of the TSE Index, the
GTSM Index, the price of the Shares and the Company's results of operations and financial condition.
Political Uncertainty May Influence the TSE Index
The ROC presidential campaign and elections have in the past caused the fluctuation of the TSE Index. In
2004, ROC¡¦s incumbent president won the ROC presidential election by a very narrow margin. The
opposition party refused to concede, challenged the validity of the election results and filed a petition for a
recount of the votes. The political uncertainty surrounding the election has affected the securities market in
ROC. Such political uncertainty and related developments could adversely affect the Company¡¦s business,
financial condition and results of operations, and the price of the Bonds and the Shares.
Financial Reporting and Accounting Standards in the ROC Differ from Other Countries
The Company is subject to financial reporting requirements in the ROC that differ in significant 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 material respects from US GAAP. See "Summary of Significant Differences Between
ROC GAAP and US GAAP". Potential investors should consult their own professional advisers for an
understanding of such differences and how they might affect the financial information contained herein.
Future Natural Disasters and Disruptive Events May Occur
- 13 -

From time to time, the ROC experiences severe earthquakes and other natural disasters that may cause
significant property damage and loss of life. The Company's operation and the operation of its customers,
distributors and suppliers may be adversely affected in the event of future earthquake and natural disruptions.
As such, no assurance can be given that any future natural disaster will not have a material adverse effect on
the business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects of the Company. With the
exception of fire insurance, the Company does not maintain business interruption insurance.

specify.
For the purposes of this Condition 5(B), "Business Day" shall mean a day on which banks are
open for business in the city in which the specified office of the relevant Transfer Agent with
whom a Certificate is deposited in connection with a transfer is located.

Bondholder must deposit the Conversion Notice (as defined herein) and the Certificate in respect of
that Bond with a Conversion Agent.
The Company shall, within five Trading Days (as defined in Condition 8(B) and subject to certain
exceptions) after the Conversion Date (as defined in Condition 6(B)(ii)), issue and deliver the Shares
converted from the Bond to the converting Bondholder or its designee, subject to the requirements
relating to the conversion in the Agency Agreement being satisfied.
The Trust Deed provides, in summary, that the term "Shares" means, when used to refer to the
Company's common shares, NT$10 par value per share, but such term also includes shares of any
other class or classes of the share capital of the Company authorized after the date of the Trust Deed
which have no preference in respect of dividends or of amounts payable in the event of any voluntary
or involuntary liquidation or winding-up of the Company.
(A) Conversion Right
- 28 -

(i) Conversion Period: Each Bondholder has the right during the Conversion Period (as
defined below) to convert any Bond into the Company's common shares, NT$10 par
value per share ("Shares"), credited as fully paid (the "Conversion Right"). Subject
to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Condition, the Conversion Right
attaching to any Bond may be exercised, at the option of the holder thereof and as and
to the extent provided herein, at any time on or after January 23, 2005 and prior to the
close of business (at the place where the Conversion Notice and the Certificate in
respect of such Bond is deposited for conversion) on December 14, 2009 (or if such
date shall not be a Business Day (as defined below), on the immediately preceding
Business Day at such place), or, if such Bond shall have been called for redemption
prior to December 24, 2009, then up to the close of business (at the place aforesaid)
on the date seven days prior to the date fixed for redemption thereof (or if such day
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 shall be suspended during any Closed Period and the Conversion Period shall
not include any such Closed Period. "Closed Period" shall mean any period during
which under the laws and regulations of the ROC the Company shall close its
shareholders' register, which period includes 60 days prior to the date of the annual
general meeting of shareholders ("AGM"), 30 days prior to an extraordinary
shareholders' meeting and five days prior to the record date for determination of
shareholders entitled to receive dividends, bonuses or other benefits, and the period
from at least three Business Days prior to the date the Company notifies the Taiwan
Stock Exchange (¡§TSE¡¨) of the record date for determination of shareholders entitled
to receive dividends, subscription of new shares or other benefits to the record date for
the distribution or allocation of the relevant dividends, rights and benefits. In case
any amendments are made to the aforesaid laws and regulations, the conversion shall
be construed in accordance with the prevailing laws and regulations. The Company
shall procure that the Bondholders are given no less than 10 days nor more than 60
days prior notice of any Closed Period in accordance with Condition 15.
In this Condition 6(A)(i), "Business Day" means a day (other than a Saturday or
Sunday) on which commercial banks are open for business in Hong Kong, and in the
place where the Conversion Agent with whom the Certificate and the Conversion
Notice are deposited is open for business.
Under current ROC law, regulation and policy, PRC persons are not permitted to
hold or convert the Bonds or to register as a shareholder of the Company. Under
current ROC law, "PRC person" means an individual holding a passport issued by
the People's Republic of China ("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
and other entity organized 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 Bondholder when exercising his
Conversion Right to convert a Bond into Shares is required to appoint a local agent in
the ROC with such qualifications as are set by the ROC Securities and Futures
Bureau to open a securities trading account with a local brokerage firm and a NT
Dollar bank account, pay ROC withholding taxes, remit funds, exercise shareholders'
rights, handle conversion applications and perform such other matters as may be
designated by such converting Bondholder (or its designee), on behalf of and as agent
for such converting Bondholder (or its designee). The Executive Yuan has approved
certain amendments to the Regulations Governing Securities Investment by Overseas
Chinese and Foreign Nationals on June 27, 2003 and on September 30, 2003. Prior
to the amendments, a non-ROC converting Bondholder when exercising his
Conversion Right to convert a Bond into Shares is required to obtain approval from
the TSE to open a foreign convertible bond conversion account. Under the amended
regulation, a non-ROC Bondholder is no longer required to open a separate foreign
convertible bond conversion account, and a non-ROC Bondholder who has already
opened such an account is required to apply to the Taiwan Stock Exchange to effect a
- 29 -

transfer of the account¡¦s assets in accordance with the amended regulation. In
addition, such non-ROC converting Bondholder must also appoint a custodian bank
to hold the securities for safekeeping, make confirmation and settlement, and report
all relevant information. Under existing ROC laws and regulations, without opening
such accounts, an investor in the Bonds would not be able to receive, hold, sell or
otherwise transfer the Shares into which the Bonds may have been converted on the
TSE or otherwise. See "Foreign Investment and Exchange Controls in the ROC" and
"Description of the Shares".
(ii) Number of Shares Issuable on Conversion: The number of Shares to be issued upon
conversion of any Bond will be determined by dividing the principal amount of the
Bond (translated into NT dollars at the fixed exchange rate of NT$32.489 = US$1.00
(the "Fixed Exchange Rate") by the Conversion Price (as defined in Condition
6(A)(iii)) in effect on the Conversion Date (as defined in Condition 6(B)(ii)).
If a Certificate or Certificates in respect of more than one Bond shall be deposited for
conversion at any one time by the same Bondholder, the number of Shares to be
issued upon conversion thereof will be calculated on the basis of the aggregate
principal amount of the Bonds in respect of which the Certificate(s) were 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 December 24, 2004, the Company will upon conversion of the Bonds
pay to the converting Bondholder in US dollars a sum equal to such portion of the
principal amount of the Bond or Bonds converted 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 6(A)(ii).
(iii) Initial Conversion Price: The price at which Shares will be issued upon conversion
(the "Conversion Price") will initially be NT$26.54 per Share, but will be subject to
adjustment in the manner provided in Conditions 6(C) and 6(D).
(iv) Revival on Default: Notwithstanding the provisions of Condition 6(A)(i), if there shall
be default in making payment in full in respect of any Bond which shall have been
called for redemption on the date fixed for redemption thereof, the Conversion Right
attaching to such Bond will continue to be exercisable up to and including the close of
business (at the place where the Certificate in respect of such Bond and the
Conversion Notice are deposited for conversion) on the date upon which the full
amount of the monies payable in respect of such Bond has been duly received by the
Trustee or the Principal Agent and notice of such receipt has been duly given to the
Bondholders.
(B) Conversion Procedure
(i) Exercise Procedure: To exercise the Conversion Right attaching to any Bond, the
holder thereof must complete, execute and deposit at its own expense between 9:00
a.m. and 3:00 p.m. (local time at the specified office referred to below) on any
Business Day (as defined below) during the Conversion Period at the specified office
of a Conversion Agent outside of the ROC, 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 relevant
Certificate, if applicable, and any certificates and other documents as may be required
under the law of the ROC or the jurisdiction in which such Conversion Agent is
located and any amount required to be paid by the holder of the Bond referred to in
Condition 6(B)(ii) below.
A Conversion Notice or a Certificate deposited outside the hours specified above or
on a day which is not a Business Day at the place of the specified office of the
relevant Conversion Agent shall for all purposes be deemed to have been deposited
- 30 -

with that Agent between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. on the next following Business Day.
Bondholders who deposit a Conversion Notice during a Closed Period will not be
permitted to convert their Bonds until the Trading Day as defined in Condition 8(B)
following the last day of the Closed Period which (if all other conditions of
conversion have been fulfilled) will be the Conversion Date for such Bonds. Such
Bondholders will not be registered as holders of Shares until the Conversion Date.
The Conversion Notice shall contain, inter alia, an appointment of a local agent by
such converting Bondholder and an irrevocable instruction to exchange the relevant
Bond for Shares issued pursuant to Condition 6(B)(iii), on a date that is not more than
five Trading Days after the Conversion Date, or as soon as Shares are available,
whichever is earlier. A Conversion Notice once deposited may not be withdrawn
without the consent in writing of the Company. The Company shall immediately
notify the Trustee and the Agents in writing of such written consent, such notification
to be accompanied by the relevant Conversion Notice.
In this Condition 6(B)(i), "Business Day" means a day (other than a Saturday or
Sunday) on which commercial banks are open for business in Hong Kong, in the city
of the Conversion Agent with whom the Certificate and the Conversion Notice are
deposited, and, if Certificates in definitive form are issued, in the city where the
Registrar is located.
(ii) Taxes and Expenses; Deposit Date and Conversion Date: Together with the deposit of
the Conversion Notice, the Bondholder must pay to the relevant Conversion Agent all
stamp, issue, registration, excise and similar taxes or duties or transfer costs (if any)
arising on conversion in the country in which the Bond 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 Bondholder. Except as aforesaid, the Company will pay the expenses
arising in the ROC on the issue of Shares on conversion of Bonds and all charges of
the Conversion Agents in connection therewith. The date on which, in respect of any
Bond, the relevant Certificate and the Conversion Notice (in duplicate) relating
thereto, together with any certificates and other documents as may be required under
applicable law, are deposited with a Conversion Agent and the payments, if any,
required to be paid by the Bondholder are made is hereinafter referred to as the
"Deposit Date". The "Conversion Date" applicable to a Bond shall mean the next
day following the Deposit Date, which day is both a Trading Day (as defined in
Condition 8(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 Bondholder (or its designee)
as indicated in the Conversion Notice to have become the holder of record of the
number of Shares to be issued upon such conversion to such holder (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 6(B)(v), the rights of such converting Bondholder as a Bondholder with
respect to such Bonds deposited for conversion shall cease (except rights arising
under Conditions 6(B)(iv)).
(iv) Delivery of Shares: As of the Conversion Date, the Company will register the
converting Bondholder (or its designee) in the Company's register of shareholders as
the owner of the number of Shares to be issued pursuant to Condition 6(B)(iii) upon
conversion of such Bonds and, subject to any applicable limitations then imposed by
ROC laws and regulations, according to the request made in the relevant Conversion
Notice, procure that, as soon as practicable, and in any event, within five Trading
Days after the Conversion Date, there be delivered to the local agent appointed by the
converting Bondholder a certificate or certificates for the relevant Shares, registered
in the name specified for that purpose in the relevant Conversion Notice, together
with any other property or cash (including, without limitation, cash payable pursuant
to Condition 6(A)(ii)) required to be delivered upon conversion and such assignments
- 31 -

and other documents (if any) as may be required by law to effect the delivery thereof.
(v) Retroactive Adjustment of Conversion Price: If the Conversion Date in relation to any
Bond 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 6(C) and 6(D) 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,
the Company will, within a reasonable period of time after the effective date of such
adjustment of the Conversion Price, issue and deliver (to the local agent appointed by
the converting Bondholder) 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
Bond 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 this Condition
6(B)(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).
(vi) Dividends and Other Entitlements: To the extent permitted under the laws and
regulations of the ROC, the converting Bondholders will be entitled to the annual
dividend distributions or other benefits if the Conversion Date falls prior to the
relevant record date (and the relevant closure of shareholder register) for determining
the identity of shareholders who are entitled to such dividend distributions.
(vii) 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 a Conversion Agent having specified offices in
Hong Kong. Notice of any such termination or appointment and of any changes in the
specified offices of the Conversion Agents will be given promptly and in writing by
the Company to the Principal Agent, the Trustee and the Bondholders.
(C) Adjustments to Conversion Price
The Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment in the manner set forth in the Trust Deed
upon the occurrence of certain dilutive events set out in the Trust Deed, including:
(i) the making of a free distribution or bonus issue of Shares;
(ii) subdivisions, consolidations, capital reductions or reclassifications of Shares;
(iii) the declaration of a dividend in Shares;
(iv) the grant, issue or offer to the holders of Shares of rights or warrants to subscribe for
or purchase Shares at less than the then Current Market Price (as defined in the Trust
Deed) or to subscribe for or purchase any securities convertible into or exchangeable
for Shares at less than the then Current Market Price;
(v) the distribution to the holders of Shares of evidences of indebtedness of the Company
or of shares of capital stock of the Company (other than Shares) or of assets (other
than regular periodic dividends in cash) or of rights or warrants to subscribe for or
purchase shares or securities (other than those mentioned in (iv) above);
(vi) the issue of securities (other than the Bonds and those mentioned in (iv) and (v) above)
convertible into or exchangeable for Shares at less than the then Current Market Price
or of rights or warrants (other than those mentioned in (iv) and (v) above) to subscribe
for or purchase Shares at less than the then Current Market Price or to subscribe for or
purchase securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares at less than the then
Current Market Price;
(vii) the issue of Shares (other than Shares issued on conversion of convertible bonds,
- 32 -

including the Bonds, or in any of the circumstances described above; but including
Shares issued under any employee bonus or profit-sharing arrangements) at less than
the then Current Market Price;
(viii) the declaration of a dividend in cash; and
(ix) any other event or circumstance which would have in the determination of the
Company or the Trustee an analogous effect to any of the events in (i) to (viii) above
including, but not limited to, issues of receipts or certificates entitling holders to
receive securities, in accordance with the formulae stipulated in the Trust Deed.
No adjustment will be made where such adjustment would be less than one percent of the
Conversion Price then in effect; provided, however, that any adjustment that otherwise would
be required to be made will be carried forward and taken into account in determining any
subsequent adjustment. Any adjustment will be notified promptly and in writing by the
Company to the Trustee and the Bondholders in accordance with Condition 15.
No adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made in situations where the Company
reduces the number of issued shares by canceling its treasury stocks.
No adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made when the Company issues new shares to
shareholders of any company, which merges with the Company upon such merger and in
proportion to their shareholdings in such company immediately prior to such merger.
The Trust Deed provides that the Conversion Price may be reduced, as a result of any
adjustment required by this Condition 6(C), below the par value of the Shares for the time
being to the extent permitted by ROC law, provided that any Shares issued on conversion of
Bonds at such reduced Conversion Price would be legally issued and fully-paid Shares that
cannot be assessed to pay debts of the Company in the event of its bankruptcy and liquidation.
The Trustee will not be obliged to monitor whether any event has occurred which might fall
within (i) to (ix) above and will not be responsible to the Bondholders or the Company or any
person for any loss arising from any failure by it to do so. Unless an officer of the Trustee has
actual knowledge by way of express notice in writing from the Company that an event has
occurred which might fall within (i) to (ix) above, the Trustee is entitled to assume none has
occurred without liability.
(D) Conversion Price Reset
The Conversion Price shall be adjusted on November 9, of 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009
(each a "Reset Date"), in the event that the average of the Closing Prices (as defined in
Condition 8(B)) of the Shares on the TSE for the 20 consecutive Trading Days (as defined in
Condition 8(B)) immediately preceding the relevant Reset Date (the "Average Closing Price")
translated into US dollars at the then Prevailing Rate (as defined below) multiplied by 101% is
less than the Conversion Price in effect on the relevant Reset Date translated into US dollars at
the Fixed Exchange Rate, in accordance with the following formula:
Adjusted Conversion Price = Average Closing Price ¡Ñ 101% ¡Ñ Fixed Exchange Rate
Prevailing Rate
Such adjusted Conversion Price shall be rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest
NT$0.01, provided that:
(i) any adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Condition 6(D) shall be
limited so that the Conversion Price adjusted in accordance with this Condition 6(D)
shall not be less than 80 percent of the initial Conversion Price (as adjusted to reflect
any adjustments required under Condition 6(C) above, which may have occurred prior
to the Reset Date);
(ii) the provisions of Condition 6(C) shall apply mutatis mutandis to this Condition 6(D)
to ensure that appropriate adjustments shall be made to any Closing Price to reflect
- 33 -

any adjustments made to the Conversion Price in accordance with Condition 6(C)
during the period of calculation of the Average Closing Price; and
(iii) for the avoidance of doubt any adjustments to the Conversion Price made pursuant to
this Condition 6(D) shall only be downward adjustments.
The "Prevailing Rate" for the translation of the Closing Prices shall be the arithmetic
average of the closing rate for the purchase of US dollars with NT dollars quoted by Taipei
Forex Inc (or any replacement entity selected by the Company with the written consent of the
Trustee) at the close of business on each day during the 20 consecutive Trading Day period.
For the purpose of the formula in this Condition, the Prevailing Rate shall be expressed as the
number of NT dollars per US$1.00.
Any such adjustment shall become effective as of the relevant Reset Date and the
Bondholders, the Conversion Agent and the Trustee shall be notified promptly in writing by
the Company of any adjustment to the Conversion Price in accordance with Condition 15.
(E) Mergers; Disposals
The Company will not merge, amalgamate or consolidate with or into any other corporation or
entity where the Company is not 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 Bondholders and the Trustee (immediately and in writing) of such event in
accordance with Condition 15 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 Bonds, the Trust Deed and the Agency Agreement and providing that
each Bond 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 Bond would have been
convertible immediately prior to such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale or transfer
(assuming for such purpose that the Bonds 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 6(E) will apply
in the same way to any subsequent or further consolidations, amalgamations, mergers, sales or
transfers.
(F) Conversion Undertakings
Closed Periods: The Company undertakes to ensure that any Closed Period is as short a period
as is reasonably practicable having regard to applicable ROC laws and regulation and
practices.

    Condition 7) would be equal to the amounts which would have been receivable in the absence
    of any such withholding or deduction.
    (C) In the event that any such withholding or deduction in respect of principal or any additional
    withholding or deduction in excess of 20 percent in respect of interest (if any) or premium (if
    any) is required, the Company will pay such additional amounts by way of principal, premium
    (if any) and interest (if any), as will result in the receipt by the Bondholders 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 Bond:

    premium (if any) or interest (if any) in respect of the Bond; or
    (ii) if the Certificate in respect of such Bond 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

Bondholders.
The Trust Deed provides that a written resolution signed by or on behalf of the holders of not
less than 90 percent of the aggregate principal amount of Bonds outstanding shall be as valid
and effective as a duly passed Extraordinary Resolution.
The Trust Deed defines "Extraordinary Resolution" as a resolution passed at a meeting of
Bondholders duly convened and held in accordance with these provisions by a majority
consisting of not less than three-quarters of the votes cast.
(B) Modification of Conversion Right
Notwithstanding Conditions 13(A)(iv) and (v) above, the Trustee may (but shall not be in any

modification to or variation of the Conversion Right (including modification of and additions
to the declarations and statements to be made by Bondholders 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 materially prejudicial to the interests of the Bondholders.
The Trustee's agreement may be subject to it being indemnified to and/or secured to its
satisfaction and to any other condition, which the Trustee requires, including but not limited to
obtaining, at the sole expense of the Company, advice from or an opinion of an investment
bank or legal or other expert of international repute. The Trustee shall be entitled to but shall
not be obligated to rely on such advice. The Trustee shall not be liable for any loss or liability
occasioned by any such modification or variation as aforesaid. Any such modification shall be

waiver or authorization of any breach or proposed breach of, the Bonds or the Trust Deed
which is not, in the opinion of the Trustee, materially prejudicial to the interests of the
Bondholders or (ii) any modification of the Bonds 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. The Trustee's agreement may be subject to it being
indemnified and/or secured to its satisfaction and to any other condition which the Trustee
requires, including but not limited to obtaining, at the sole expense of the Company, an
opinion of an investment bank or legal or other expert. The Trustee shall be entitled to but
shall not be obligated to rely on such advice. The Trustee shall not be liable for any loss or
liability occasioned by any such modification or variation as aforesaid. Any such
modification, waiver or authorization will be binding on the Bondholders and any such
modification will be notified by the Company to the Bondholders in accordance with
Condition 15 as soon as practicable thereafter.
(D) Exercise of Trustee's Functions
In connection with the exercise of its functions (including but not limited to those in relation
to any proposed modification, authorization or waiver) the Trustee shall have regard to the
interests of the Bondholders as a class and shall not have regard to, or in any way liable to, the
consequences of such exercise for individual Bondholders, and no Bondholder shall be
entitled to claim, from the Company or the Trustee, any indemnification or payment in respect
of any tax consequences of any such exercise upon individual Bondholders.
14. Replacement of Certificates
If any Certificate is mutilated, defaced or is alleged to be destroyed, stolen or lost, it may be replaced
at the specified office of the Registrar upon payment by the claimant of such costs as may be incurred
in connection therewith and on such terms as to evidence and indemnity as the Company may
reasonably require (which terms will require, inter alia, that if such Certificate is subsequently
deposited for conversion into Shares there shall be paid to the Company on demand such costs (equal
to the principal, premium (if any) and interest (if any) due on the relevant Bond at the Fixed
Exchange Rate). Mutilated or defaced Certificates must be surrendered before replacements will be
issued.
15. Notices
All notices to Bondholders shall be in writing and in English and shall be validly given if mailed to
them at their respective addresses in the register of Bondholders maintained by the Registrar.
If it is impracticable to mail any notices to Bondholders as provided above, then any other form of

the relevant clearing system or its operator as to the identity of its accountholders (either individually or by

FOREIGN INVESTMENT AND EXCHANGE CONTROLS IN THE ROC
The information presented in this section has been extracted from publicly available sources such as
governmental websites (e.g. http://www.sfb.gov.tw and http://www.moea.gov.tw) which have not been
prepared or independently verified by the Company, the Lead Manager or any of their respective affiliates or
advisors in connection with the offering of the Bonds. References to the Securities and Futures Bureau (the
"ROC SFB") herein include the ROC SFB, the ROC Securities and Futures Commission and the ROC
Securities and Exchange Commission, its predecessors.
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 (¡§QFII¡¨) have
been allowed to make investments in the Taiwan listed securities market. Since March 1, 1996, overseas
Chinese, foreign institutional and foreign individual investors (other than QFII), called "general foreign
investors", have been permitted to make direct investments in the Taiwan listed securities market. Since July
9, 2003 the ROC SFB has adopted various new rules which have the effect of removing the restrictions on
investment amounts, the qualification requirements in terms of asset size and the inward and outward
remittance period limits previously applicable to QFII. On September 30, 2003, the ROC SFB further
revised the Regulations Governing Investment in Securities by Overseas Chinese and Foreign Nationals, and
eliminated the category of QFII and re-categorized foreign investors into four new categories: (1) "Off-
Shore General Foreign Investors", (2) "On-Shore General Foreign Investors", (3) "Off-Shore Foreign
Institutional Investors" and (4) "On-Shore Foreign Institutional Investors" in accordance with whether the
investors are institutions or natural person, and whether or not they have a presence in the ROC.
Off-Shore Foreign Institutional Investors
Each Off-Shore Foreign Institutional Investor wishing to invest directly in the Taiwan securities market is
required to register with the TSE and apply for approval from the Central Bank of China. The registration
with the TSE and the application to the Central Bank of China require, among other things:
¡E the appointment of a local agent and custodian;
¡E proof of identification;
¡E other documents required by the ROC SFB.
Off-Shore Foreign Institutional Investors having registered with the Taiwan Stock Exchange may apply to
invest without amount limit. Capital remitted into Taiwan for investments in the Taiwan securities market
may be repatriated at any time. Off-Shore Foreign Institutional Investors and Off-Shore General Foreign
Investors (see below) may engage in New Taiwan dollar denominated interest rate derivatives trading
(including interest rate forward, interest rate swaps and interest rate options), provided that the trading are
limited to spot positions of government bonds, time deposits and money market instruments held by them.
Off-Shore General Foreign Investors
Off-Shore General Foreign Investors may generally invest in TSE-listed securities or securities traded on the
GTSM up to a limit of US$5 million, after registering with the TSE.
On-Shore General Foreign Investors and On-Shore Foreign Institutional Investors
On-Shore General Foreign Investors and On-Shore Foreign Institutional Investors having registered with the
TSE may apply to invest without amount limit, and without making an application to the Central Bank of
China.
Foreign Ownership Limitations
- 49 -

Except for certain limits imposed by laws and regulations, there are no limits on the foreign ownership in a
TSE listed company or a GTSM traded company.
Foreign Investment Approval
Other than:
¡E Off-Shore Foreign Institutional Investors;
¡E Off-Shore General Foreign Investors; and
¡E 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 Ministry of Economic
Affairs of Taiwan or other governmental authority. Foreign investors who obtain this approval will be
subject to the 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 ROC companies,
non-ROC persons are currently prohibited from investing in prohibited industries in Taiwan, which are listed
under a Negative List, as amended by the Executive Yuan from time to time. 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
government authority. The Company is not in a restricted industry under the Negative List.
Depositary Receipts
In April 1992, the ROC SFB began allowing ROC companies listed on the TSE to sponsor the issuance and
sale of depositary receipts evidencing depositary shares. In December 1994, the Ministry of Finance began
allowing companies whose shares are traded on the GTSM also to sponsor the issuance and sale of
depositary receipts evidencing depositary shares. Approvals for these issuances are still required. On
October 24, 2002, the ROC SFB began allowing public companies that are not listed on the TSE and the
GTSM to sponsor the issuance and sale of depositary receipts by way of private placement outside the ROC.
No deposits of shares may be made in a depositary receipt facility and no depositary receipts may be issued
against deposits without specific ROC SFB approval, unless they are:
¡E stock dividends;
¡E free distributions of shares.
¡E due to the exercise by depositary receipt holders of their preemptive rights in the event of capital
increases for cash, or
¡E due to the purchase by depositary receipt holders, directly or through the depositary, of shares on
the TSE or the GTSM 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:
¡E the number of issued depositary receipts previously approved by the ROC SFB; and
¡E the number of depositary shares created from stock dividends, free distributions of shares and right
offerings. 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
GTSM.
- 50 -

For depositary 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.
A depositary receipt holder (who has not registered as an Off-Shore Foreign Institutional Investor or an Off-
Shore General Foreign Investor) wishing to withdraw shares represented by depositary receipts in order to
hold the shares is required to register as an Off-Shore Foreign Institutional Investor or an Off-Shore General
Foreign Investor (as appropriate) and then appoint a qualified local agent to, among other things, open a
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 depositary receipt
holder has already been registered as an Off-Shore Foreign Institutional Investor or an Off-Shore 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
Taiwan Stock Exchange 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 or hold the shares.
A depositary may without obtaining further approvals from the Central Bank of China or any other
governmental authority or agency of Taiwan, convert New Taiwan dollars from:
¡E the proceeds of the sale of shares represented by depositary receipts or received as stock dividends
of the shares and deposited into the depositary receipt facility; or
¡E cash distributions received,
into other currencies, including US Dollars. 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
New Taiwan 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
GTSM. These reinvestments will need to comply with the limitations and restrictions, which apply to
Offshore Foreign Institutional Investors or Off-Shore General Foreign Investors discussed above.
Overseas Corporate Bonds
Since 1989, the ROC SFB has approved a series of overseas corporate bond issues by ROC companies listed
on the Taiwan Stock Exchange and traded on the GTSM. Under current ROC laws and regulations, these
overseas corporate bonds (if their terms so provide) may be held or converted by non-ROC persons, other
than mainland Chinese persons, into shares of ROC companies or, with ROC SFB approval, may be
converted into depositary receipts issued under the sponsorship of the same Taiwanese 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-Taiwanese converting bondholder when exercising conversion right to convent the bonds needs to
comply with the limitations and restrictions which apply to Off-Shore Foreign Institutional Investors or Off-
Shore General Foreign Investors discussed above.
Exchange Controls
Taiwan's Foreign Exchange Control Statute and regulations provide that all foreign exchange transactions
must be executed by banks designated by the Ministry of Finance and by the Central Bank of China to
- 51 -

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 US$50 million, or its equivalent,
and US$5 million, or its equivalent, respectively, each calendar year. These limits apply to remittances
involving a conversion between New Taiwan dollars and US 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 US$100,000 per remittance if the required
documentation is provided to the Taiwan authorities. This limit applies only to remittances involving a
conversion between New Taiwan dollars and US Dollars or other foreign currencies.
- 52 -

DESCRIPTION OF THE COMMON STOCK
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 of the ROC, all as currently in effect.
General
As of September 30, 2004, the Company's authorized share capital was NT$2,718,000,000, consisting of
271,800,000 Shares with a par value of NT$10 per Share. As of September 30, 2004, the Company¡¦s issued
and paid-in capital was NT$2,440,456,530, consisting of 244,045,653 common shares of the Company in
registered form which were issued and fully paid for.
The Company Law provides that any change in the issued share capital of a company requires approval of
the Board of Directors. In the event that the issuance of any new shares will result in any change in the
authorized share capital of the Company, in accordance with the Company Law, the Company must amend
the Articles and obtain shareholders' approval at a shareholders' meeting. The Company must also obtain the
approval of, or submit a registration to, the ROC SFB and Ministry of Economic Affairs for the issuance of
any new shares. The approval for the issuance of new shares for the conversion of the Bonds has been
obtained by the Company.
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 shareholders at any time other than when it is
generating net profits ("Earnings"). Before distributing a dividend or making any other distribution to
shareholders 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.
Subject to compliance of the above requirements, following approval of the financial statements for the
preceding fiscal year by the shareholders in an annual shareholders' meeting, dividends are, unless otherwise
stipulated under that company's articles of incorporation, distributed in proportion to the number of shares
owned by each shareholder as listed on the register of shareholders 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 stock 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 shareholders at a shareholders'
meeting. For each of the past cash dividend distributions, the Company has appointed numerous local banks
to act as its paying agents, and the Company is expected to continue to appoint multiple paying agents for its
future cash dividend distributions.
The Company Law provides that a company is required to set aside a legal reserve in an amount equal to 10
percent of its Earnings (less losses, if any, of previous years and applicable income taxes) until such time as
its legal reserve equals its paid-in capital. The Articles further provide that, after paying all taxes in
accordance with ROC law, recovering any past losses, and deducting the legal reserve, special reserve (if
any), any balance thereof will be distributed to shareholder as proposed by the Board of Directors to
shareholders and approved by the general shareholders' meeting.
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 shareholders in the form of additional shares from reserves (including its legal reserve
referred to above, any special reserve and capital reserve). However, the capitalized portion payable out of a
company's legal reserve is limited to 50 percent of the total accumulated legal reserve, and such
capitalization can only be effected when and to the extent that the accumulated legal reserve exceeds 50
percent of the paid-in capital of such company. (For information as to ROC taxes on cash and stock
dividends, see the section headed "Taxation - ROC Taxation of Non-Residents" below.)
Pre-emptive Rights and Issue of Additional Common Stock
The Company Law provides that between 10 percent and 15 percent of any new issue of shares of capital
- 53 -

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
GTSM intends to offer new shares for cash, at least 10 percent of such issue must be offered to the public
except under certain circumstances or when exempted by the ROC SFB. This percentage can be increased
by a resolution passed at a shareholders' meeting, thereby reducing the number of new shares subject to the
pre-emptive rights of existing shareholders. Unless the percentage of shares to be offered to the public is
increased by shareholders, existing shareholders who are listed on the shareholders' register as of the record
date have a pre-emptive right to acquire the remaining 75 to 80 percent of the issue in proportion to their
existing shareholdings. The shares not subscribed for by the employees and shareholders at the expiration of
the period for the exercise of their rights may be freely offered by the Company (subject to ROC law) to the
public or specified person through the arrangement of the Board of Directors. The Preemptive rights do not
apply to shares issued upon conversion of convertible bonds or exercise of warrants or stock options.
Meetings of Shareholders
The ordinary meeting of shareholders of the Company is usually held in Taipei, Taiwan, as determined by
the Board of Directors, within six months after the end of each calendar year. Extraordinary meetings of
shareholders may be convened by resolution of the Board of Directors whenever they consider it necessary,
and they must do so if requested in writing by shareholders holding not less than three percent of the paid-in
capital who have held these shares for more than a year. Extraordinary meetings of shareholders may also be
convened by a Supervisor of the Company when necessary. Notice in writing of ordinary and extraordinary
shareholders' meetings stating the place, time and purpose thereof must be dispatched to each shareholder 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 stock has one vote for each share of common stock. With respect to election of
Directors and Supervisor by shareholders, it is carried out on a cumulative voting basis.
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 entering into, amendment or termination of any contract for the lease of the
Company's business in whole, or for entrusted business or for regular joint operation with third parties, 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 shareholders 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 twothirds
of the common stock represented at a meeting of shareholders with a quorum of holders of at least a
majority of issued and outstanding common stock.
A shareholder may be represented at a general meeting or an 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. Voting rights attaching to the shares exercised by proxy shall be subject to ROC
proxy regulation.
Registration of Shareholders and Record Dates
The Company maintains the register of shareholders of the Company at its Share Registrar in Taipei, Taiwan
and enters transfers of common stock in the register of shareholders upon presentation of the certificates in
respect of the common stock 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 shareholders of common stock entitled to Annual Dividends
and other rights pertaining to the common stock, the Company Law provides that, for a public company, the
register of shareholders is closed for a period of 60 days, 30 days and five days immediately before each
date of ordinary shareholders' meeting, each extraordinary shareholders' meeting and the record date,
respectively.
Annual Financial Statements
- 54 -

Under the Company Law, 10 days before the ordinary shareholders' meeting, the Company's annual audited
financial statements must be available at the principal office of the Company for inspection by the
shareholders.
Transfers of Common Stock
Under the Company Law, the transfer of common stock (in registered form) is effected by endorsement and
delivery of share certificates. In order to assert shareholders' rights against the Company, the transferee must
have his name and address registered on the Company's register of shareholders. Shareholders 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.
Acquisition by the Company of its own Common Stock
Except as permitted under the ROC Company Law and the ROC Securities and Exchange Law, the
Company cannot acquire its own common stock and any common stock acquired by the Company must be
sold by the Company at the current market price within six months after its acquisition.
Under an amendment to the Securities and Exchange Law which took effect on 21 July 2001, a company
whose shares are listed on the TSE or GTSM may, pursuant to a board resolution adopted by a majority
consent at a meeting attended by more than two-thirds of the directors and pursuant to the procedures
prescribed by the ROC SFB, purchase its shares on the TSE or GTSM or by a tender offer for the following
purposes:
- for transfer of shares to its employees;
- for conversion into shares from bonds with warrants, preferred shares with warrants, convertible
bonds, convertible preferred shares or certificates of warrants issued by the company; and
- for maintaining its credit and its shareholders' equity; provided that the shares so purchased shall be
cancelled thereafter.
The total shares purchased by the company shall not exceed 10 percent of its total issued and outstanding
shares. In addition, the total amount for purchase of the shares shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the
retained earnings, the premium from stock issues and the realized portion of the capital reserve.
The shares purchased by the company shall not be pledged or hypothecated. In addition, the company may
not exercise any shareholders' rights attaching to such 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/or nominees are prohibited from selling the shares of the company held by them during the
period in which the company purchases its shares.

THE SECURITIES MARKET OF THE ROC
The information presented in this section has been extracted from publicly available sources such as
governmental websites (e.g. http://www.sfb.gov.tw and http://www.moea.gov.tw), the Taiwan Stock Exchange
and the GreTai Securities Market websites (http://www.tse.com.tw and http://www.gtsm.com.tw), which have
not been prepared or independently verified by the Company, and the Company accepts responsibility only
for accurately extracting information from such sources.
In 1960, the ROC government established the Securities and Exchange Commission to supervise and control
all aspects of the securities market. The Securities and Exchange Commission of the ROC was restructured
in early 1997 and its name was changed to the Securities and Futures Commission. In July 2004, it was
further restructured as a bureau of the Financial Supervisory Commission under the Executive Yuan and its
name was changed to the Securities and Futures Bureau (the "ROC SFB", which reference herein shall
include both the ROC Securities and Exchange Commission and the ROC Securities and Futures
Commission). In the 1970s and the early 1980s, the ROC government implemented a number of steps
designed to upgrade the quality and importance of the ROC securities market, such as encouraging listing on
the TSE and establishing an over-the-counter market. In the mid-1980s, the ROC government began to
revise its laws and regulations in a manner designed to facilitate the gradual internationalization of the ROC
securities market.
The Taiwan Stock Exchange
In 1961, the ROC SFB, working together with private interests, 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. Subject to limited exceptions, all transactions in listed securities by brokers, traders and
integrated securities firms (firms which are permitted to combine the activities of brokerage, dealing and
underwriting) must be made through the TSE.
The TSE commenced operations in 1962 and during the remainder of the 1960s grew at a slow pace, largely
due to lack of experience amongst issuers and investors and an unwillingness on the part of ROC businesses
to offer their shares to the public. During the early 1980s, the ROC SFB more actively encouraged new
listings on the TSE and the number of listed companies grew from 119 in 1983 to 670 as at February 29,
2004. As at February 29, 2004, the total market value of shares listed on the TSE was approximately
NT$14,759.64 billion.
The instruments traded on the TSE have primarily been limited to shares and bonds. However, recent
legislative revisions and the present attitude of the ROC SFB regarding liberalization of the securities
regulations have encouraged some innovation. In 1988, the ROC SFB permitted the issue of the ROC's first
convertible bonds (such bonds being convertible at the option of the bondholders into shares of companies
owned by the Company). 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 Asia Development Bank are also listed on the TSE.
In the absence of special regulatory approval, only ROC companies are permitted to list their securities on
the TSE. The ROC SFB has promulgated regulations that would permit foreign issuers to list their equity
securities directly on the TSE or through the use of Taiwan depositary receipts. The TSE has established
specific requirements for listing based on the duration of corporate existence, the amount of capital,
profitability and dispersion of shareholdings.
For certain technology companies and businesses for the promotion of national economic development,
special listing requirements will apply.
The GreTai Securities Market
To complement the TSE, an over-the-counter, or OTC, market was established in September 1982 on the
initiative of the ROC SFB to encourage trading of securities of companies that do not qualify for listing on
the TSE. The OTC market was limited to unlisted equity securities, bank and corporate bonds and
debentures and government bonds. As trading volume on the OTC market was minimal, the GTSM was
established in 1994 to take over the previous OTC market. Since the GTSM instituted a reformed trading
- 56 -

system in 1995, the trading volume on the GTSM has grown more rapidly. The GTSM has used the TSE's
method of trading as a model, and aims to reform the GTSM trading to the point where few differences exist
between the two markets systems. As of February 29, 2004, 436 companies had equity securities listed on
the GTSM. As of February 29, 2004, the total market capitalization of companies with equity securities
listed on the GTSM was 1,532.68 billion. In addition, the Emerging Stock Trading System of the GTSM
was established on January 1, 2002 on the initiative of the ROC SFB to encourage trading of securities of
companies that are public companies but not qualified for listing on the TSE or the GTSM.
Price Limits, Commissions, Transaction Tax and Other Matters
In order to reduce market volatility, the TSE has placed limits on block trading and on the range of daily
price movements. Transactions that involve 500 trading lots (500,000 shares) or more must be registered
and executed pursuant to certain TSE guidelines. Fluctuations in the price of stocks traded on the TSE are
subject to a limit of seven percent above and below the previous day's closing price (or reference price set by
the TSE if the previous day's closing price is not available because of lack of trading activity) in the case of
equity securities and five percent in the case of debt securities. Over the last few years, the limit on the price
movements of equity securities has fluctuated, moving from five percent to three percent following the 1987
market crash, then back to five percent and finally, in October 1989, from five percent to the current level of
seven percent. The ROC SFB has indicated that the limits on share price movements may be further relaxed
or abolished entirely.
All shares have a par value of NT$10 and are traded in board lots of 1,000 shares. Although odd-lot trading
may be conducted on the TSE, delays are occasionally experienced in respect of such trading.
Effective from July 1, 2000, the brokerage commission may be any rate not exceeding 0.1425 percent of the
transaction price. A securities transaction tax, currently levied at the rate of 0.3 percent of the transaction
price for shares is payable by the seller of securities and a tax at the rate of 0.1% of the transaction price is
payable by the seller of debt securities other than government bonds. Such securities transaction taxes are
withheld at the time of the transactions giving rise to such taxes. According to the amended Statute for
Upgrading Industries effective as of February 1, 2002, no securities transaction tax will be imposed on the
transfer of corporate bonds and financial debentures until December 31, 2009.
Regulation and Supervision
The ROC SFB was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Finance from 1981 to June 2004. As of July 1,
2004, it has been under the jurisdiction of the Financial Supervisory Commission, Executive Yuan. The
ROC SFB has extensive regulatory authority over companies listed on the TSE, companies whose shares are
traded in the GTSM and unlisted public companies. Such companies are generally required to obtain
approval from, or registration with, the ROC SFB for all securities offerings. The ROC SFB has
promulgated regulations requiring, unless otherwise exempted, periodic reporting of financial and operating
information by all public companies. In addition, the ROC SFB is responsible for the establishment of
standards for financial reporting and carries out licensing and supervision with respect to the other
participants in the ROC securities market. The ROC SFB has responsibility for implementation of the ROC
Securities and Exchange Law and for overall administration of governmental policies in the ROC securities
market. It has extensive regulatory authority over the offering, issuing and trading of securities. In addition,
the ROC Securities and Exchange Law specifically empowers the ROC SFB to promulgate rules under
certain circumstances.
The ROC Securities and Exchange Law prohibits market manipulation. It permits a company to recover
certain short-swing trading profits made through purchases and sales within six months by directors,
managerial personnel, supervisors and stockholders, together with their spouses, minor children and
nominees, holding 10 percent or more of the shares of the company. The ROC Securities and Exchange Law
prohibits trading by "insiders" based on non-public information that materially affects share price movement.
Pursuant to the ROC Securities and Exchange Law, the term "insiders" includes directors, supervisors,
managers and stockholders having shareholding of 10 percent or more, together with their spouses, minor
children and nominees, or any person who has learned such information due to an occupational or
controlling relationship with the issuing company and any person who has learned such information from
any of the foregoing. Sanctions include prison terms. In addition, damages may be awarded to persons
injured by the transaction.
- 57 -

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 a company's contracts, reports and
other evidentiary documents that are related to securities transactions. ROC SFB regulations require that
financial reports of public companies be audited by accounting firms consisting of at least three certified
public accountants and be signed by at least two certified public accountants.
The ROC Securities and Exchange Law also provides for, amongst other things, regulations relating to
public offerings of securities; measures to strengthen the capital structure of issuers; civil liability for
material misstatements or omissions made by issuers; more stringent regulation of the securities activities of
officers, supervisors, directors and major stockholders of issuers; regulations regarding tender offers; and a
significant expansion of the prohibitions against insider trading, including the imposition of treble civil
damages and criminal sanctions.
The ROC SFB does not have criminal or civil enforcement powers under the ROC Securities and Exchange
Law. Criminal actions may be pursued only by prosecutors. Under ROC law, civil actions may only be
brought by plaintiffs who assert that they have suffered damages. The ROC SFB is directly empowered to
curb abuses and violations by securities firms of applicable laws and regulations only through administrative
measures.
In addition to providing a market for securities trading, the TSE has primary responsibility for reviewing
applications by ROC issuers to list securities on the TSE. The ROC SFB reviews all securities offerings by
listed companies. If issuers of listed securities violate relevant laws and regulations or encounter significant
difficulties, the TSE may, with the approval of the ROC SFB, delist securities of such issuers.

ROC TAXATION OF NON-RESIDENTS
Prospective investors should consult their own advisers concerning the tax consequences of an investment in
Bonds or Shares:
The following is a summary under present law of the principal ROC tax consequences of the ownership and
disposition of Bonds and Shares to a Non-Resident Individual or Non-Resident Entity that holds Bonds or
Shares (each a "Non-ROC Holder"). As used in the preceding sentence, a "Non-Resident Individual" is a
foreign national individual who owns Bonds or Shares and is not physically present in the ROC for 183 days
or more during any calendar year and a "Non-Resident Entity" is a corporation or a non-corporate body that
owns Bonds or Shares and is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the ROC and has no fixed
place of business or other permanent establishment in the ROC. Prospective purchasers of Bonds should
consult their own tax advisers concerning the tax consequences of owning Bonds or Shares in the ROC and
any other relevant-taxing jurisdiction to which they are subject.
Premium and Interest
Payments of premium or interest (if any) on a Bond to a Non-ROC Holder are subject to ROC withholding
tax, currently at a rate of 20% at the time of payment. The Company has agreed to pay such withholding tax
on the payments of interest. See "Terms and Conditions of the Bonds -Taxation".
Conversion
ROC law currently provides no specific provisions regarding the ROC income tax consequences of a
conversion of Bonds into Shares. Without further clarification from the ROC tax authorities, it is impossible
to conclude definitively that the conversion of Bonds into Shares will not be deemed as taxable capital gain
event, or subject to additional interest income (subject to the 20 percent withholding tax) or other ROC taxes.
Transfers of Bonds by Non-ROC Holders are regarded as transactions outside the ROC and thus any gains
derived from such transfers are not subject to ROC income tax.
There is no ROC transfer, stamp, issue or registration tax imposed on the issuance of Shares upon
conversion of the Bonds.
Dividends on the Shares
Dividends (whether in cash or shares) declared by the Company out of retained earnings and paid out to
holders of Shares are normally subject to ROC income tax collected by way of withholding at the time of
distribution. The current rate of withholding for non-residents is 30% for a Non-Resident Individual and
25% for a Non-Resident Entity of the amount of the distribution in the case of cash dividends or the par
value of the share distributed in the case of stock dividends. However, the rate of withholding is 20% if the
Non-ROC Holder obtains foreign investment approval pursuant to the Statute for Foreigner's Investment or
the Statute for Overseas Chinese's Investment. Distributions of stock dividends declared by the Company
out of capital reserves are not subject to withholding tax. Because the issue of the Bonds has been approved
by the relevant ROC competent authorities, for Non-ROC Holders, dividends on the Shares derived from the
conversion of the Bonds are subject to withholding tax of 20%.
Capital Gains
Under current ROC law, gains realized upon the sale or other disposition of securities are exempt from ROC
income tax. The losses from disposition of securities likewise may not be used to offset income. This
exemption will apply to a sale or other disposition of the Bonds or the Shares.
Securities Transaction Tax
The ROC government imposes a securities transaction tax that will apply to sales of Shares. The transaction
tax, which is payable by the seller, is generally levied on sales of shares at the rate of 0.3 percent of the sales
proceeds. However, according to the amended Statue of Upgrading Industries effective on February 1, 2002,
no transaction tax will be imposed on the transfer of corporate bonds and financial debentures until
December 31, 2009.
- 59 -

Estate Taxation and Gift Tax
ROC estate tax is payable on any property within the ROC of a deceased Non-Resident Individual, and ROC
gift tax is payable on any property within the ROC donated by a Non-Resident Individual. Estate tax is
currently imposed at rates ranging from two percent of the first NT$600,000 to 50 percent of amounts in
excess of NT$100,000,000. Gift tax is imposed at rates ranging from four percent of the first NT$600,000
donated to 50 percent of amounts donated in excess of NT$45,000,000. Under ROC estate and gift tax laws,
because the issuer is a ROC entity, the Bonds and Shares will be deemed to be located in the ROC without
regard to the location of the owner.
Tax Treaty
As of October 31, 2004, the ROC has income tax treaties with Australia, Gambia, Indonesia, Macedonia,
Malaysia, New Zealand, The Netherlands, Singapore, South Africa, Vietnam, Swaziland, the United
Kingdom and Senegal. It is unclear whether a Non-ROC Holder will be considered to own Bonds or Shares
for the purposes of such treaties. Accordingly, a holder of Bonds or Shares who is otherwise entitled to the
benefit of a treaty should consult its own tax advisers concerning eligibility for benefit under the treaty with
respect to the Bonds or the Shares.
Tax Reform
In order to increase Taiwan's competitiveness, an amendment to the ROC Income Tax law ("Amendment")
was enacted on January 1, 1998, to integrate the corporate income tax and the shareholder dividend income
with the aim of eliminating the double taxation effect for resident shareholders of ROC companies. Under
the Amendment, a 10 percent retained earnings tax will be imposed on a company for its after-tax earnings
generated after January 1, 1998, which are not distributed in the following year. The retained earnings tax so
paid will further reduce the retained earnings available for future distribution. When the Company declares
dividends out of those retained earnings, a maximum amount of up to 10 percent of the declared dividends
will be credited against the 20 percent withholding tax imposed on the Non-ROC Holders of the Shares.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ROC GAAP AND U.S. 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 SFB requirements, as applicable to the Company,
and U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP, which are applicable to the
Company. Finally, no attempt has been made to identify all future differences between ROC GAAP and U.S.
GAAP that may affect the financial statements as a result of transactions or events that may occur in the
future.

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 Under U.S. GAAP, the parent company¡¦s consolidated

statements only those subsidiaries, which are statements of majority-owned subsidiaries, unless control

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
- 62 -

ROC GAAP
has the option of whether or not to consolidate
such subsidiaries. Irrespective of 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 semiannual
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.
7. Business combination
Under ROC GAAP, business combinations are
generally accounted for under purchase method,
US GAAP
U.S. 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 U.S. 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.

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
- 64 -

ROC GAAP
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 semi-annual 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 long-term
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.
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 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
US GAAP
Under U.S. 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.
Equity investments of less than 20% that have readily
determinable fair value and debt investments are classified
in three categories and accounted as follows:
Debt and equity securities classified as trading securities are
ked to market at the end of the accounting period with
ealized 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.

ROC GAAP
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.
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.
11. Impairment of long-lived assets or
long-lived 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.
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.
US GAAP
Investments that have no readily determinable fair value
are accounted for at historical cost subject to impairment
test.
Under U.S. 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-in-capital. If an adjustment has been made to
paid-in-capital 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.
U.S. 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.

ROC GAAP
12. Prepayment of fixed assets
Under ROC GAAP, prepayment of fixed assets is
presented as part of fixed assets.
13. 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.
14. Deferred charges
Costs of neon signs and steel frames for
advertising purposes can also be capitalized as
deferred charges and then amortized over useful
lives under the straight-line method.
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.
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 contracts.
US GAAP
Under U.S. GAAP, prepayment of fixed assets should be
presented as other assets.
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.
Costs of advertising should be expensed either as incurred
or the first time the advertising takes place, except for
certain direct-response advertising.
Under U.S. 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 conversion price and the fair value of the
common stock, multiplied by the number of shares into
which the security is convertible.
Under U.S. 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. If certain conditions are met, entities
may elect to designate a derivative instrument as one of the
following:
Fair value hedge ¡V 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 ¡V a hedge of the exposure to variability

ROC GAAP
17. Compensated absences
ROC GAAP has no specific accounting practice
regarding compensated absences.
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.
19. Concentration of risk
ROC GAAP has no specific disclosure
requirements for concentration of risk.
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.

Foreign-currency hedge ¡V a hedge of the foreign-currency
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.
Compensated absences must be accrued based on the
liability for employees¡¥ rights to receive compensation for
future absences when certain conditions are met.
Under U.S. GAAP, provisions for normal inventory scrap
and obsolescence are generally charged to cost of sales.
Under U.S. GAAP, the unrealized gross profit generated
from downstream transactions is generally charged against
cost of sales and credited the investment account.
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.
Under U.S. 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.

To: The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Radium Life Tech Co., Ltd.
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Radium Life Tech Co., Ltd. (the ¡§Company¡¨) and its subsidiaries as

these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the ¡§Rules Governing Audit of the Financial Statements by Certified

we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the

management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Radium Life Tech Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, and the

The consolidated financial statements were prepared in Conformity with ¡§Guidelines Governing the Preparation of
Financial Reports by Securities Issuers¡¨ and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.
Summary of significant accounting policies is as follows :
1) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with R.O.C Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS No.7) and include the financial statements of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries.
(including Tai Cheng Construction Co., Ltd. and Far East Co., Ltd.) All transactions between the Company and
its consolidated subsidiaries had been eliminated.
2) OPERATING PERIOD
The main business activities of the Company are lease and sale of public housing and commercial buildings that
were constructed by independent construction. The balance sheet accounts are classified either as current or noncurrent
based on the Company¡¦s operating cycle (more than one year).
As the operating cycle for construction contracts usually exceeds one year, Tai Cheng Consolidated uses the
operating cycle (typically 2~5 years) as its criteria for classifying current and non-current assets and liabilities
F-10

related to construction contracts. For other assets and liabilities, the criteria is one year.
The main business activities of Far East are operating the gymstadium. Assets that meet one the following
criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise are classified as non-current assets:
(1) unrestricted cash or cash equivalents;
(2) assets are held for trading purposes, or held for a short -term period and are expected to be realized within 12
months from the balance sheet date; or
(3) assets are anticipated to be realized, available for sale or used within the operating cycle.
Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabil ities; otherwise are classified as
non-current liabilities:
(1) liabilities are to be paid within 12 months from the balance sheet date, or
(2) liabilities are incurred from the Company operating activities, and are expected to be paid within the
operating cycle.
3) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash on hand, bank deposit, petty cash, and short-term investments that are readily convertible into known
amount of cash and with maturity dates that do not present significant risks on changes in value resulting from
changes in interest rates.
4) SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
Short-term investments are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using the moving
average method. Any excess of aggregate cost over the market value is recorded as unrealized loss and reported
as other expense. Subsequent recovery in market value is reflected in other income to the extent of the original
cost of the investment.
5) ALLOWANCE FOR BAD DEBTS
Allowance for bad debts is provided based on the evaluation of the collectibility and the aging analysis of notes
receivable, accounts receivable and other receivable at the balance sheet date.
6) COSNTRUCTION CONTRACT ACCOUNTING
The company adopts the completed-contract method and the percentage¡Vof¡Vcompletion method for its
construction method. The main accounting treatments are as follows:
(1) When the Company purchases a property under construction from another party and to continue the
construction, the profit or losses for sales of such properties are based on the completed-contract method for
which the profit or loss is recognized only when the contract is completed and the title is transferred. If the
Company contracts with other parties to construct and pre-sale properties, it may recognize the profit for sale
based on t he Percentage-of- Completion Method if all of the follow conditions are met:
A. The construction has progressed beyond the preparatory stage, i.e., the designing, planning, contracting,
grading of the construction have completed and the construction work can be started any time.
B. The total amount of pre -sale contracts has reached the total estimated construction cost.
C. Buyers¡¦ payment has reached 15% of the total contract price.
D. Collectibility of the contract amount receivable can be reasonably estimated.
E. The total contract costs and the degree of completion at the end of the period can be reasonably estimated.
F. Individual costs attributable to the different sales contracts can be reasonably identified.
(2) Payments for the purchase of land made before obtaining the ownership are recorded as land prepayments,
and are transferred to land used for constructions when the ownership is obtained.
(3) Constructions in progress, land, buildings and parking spaces to be sold (recorded as inventories) and real
estate sales costs (recorded as operating cost) Constructions in progress include the construction site and
F-11

construction engineering costs of unfinished contracts; Under the Completed¡VContract method, when the
construction contracts are completed, the costs of the contracts, in which the property is sold and the title is
transferred to a customer, are calculated based on the ratio of the respective selling price over the estimated
total selling price, and are recorded as costs in the year of completion of the constructions. The remaining
construction costs are allocated to the unsold portion and recorded as inventories on the balance sheet. While
under the percentage-of-completion method, contract profit for the current period is the difference between
the cumulative profit based on the percentage of completion at the end of the current period and the
cumulative profit recognized in prior periods. However, if the cumulative profit recognized in prior periods
is greater than the cumulative profit calculated based on the percentage of completion at the end of the
current period, the excess should be recorded as a loss in the current period.
If a contract is estimated to bear a loss prior to completion, the full amount of the loss should be recognized
immediately whether the completed-contract or percentage-of-completion method is adopted. However, if
the loss is estimated to be smaller in future years, the difference should be reversed and recognized as a gain
in that year.
(4) Deferred selling expenses are the selling expenses of pre -sale buildings that are recorded as current assets
when incur. Under the Completed-Contract Method, the selling expenses are included in current year¡¦s result
only when the contract is completed. While under the Percentage-of-Completion Method, selling expenses
are recognized based on the percentage of its completion.
(5) Building or land payments received from advance sale of constructions in progress are recorded as received
in advance; when the construction contracts are comp leted, revenues of the contracts, in which the property
is sold and the title is transferred to a customer, are recorded in the current period¡¦s operating results.
(6) The interest costs resulting from the purchase of land and the construction of buildings are capitalized, and
are recorded as land acquisition costs and construction costs, respectively.
(7) Constructions in progress and land, buildings and parking spaces to be sold are valued at the lower of cost or
market value. Market value is determined b ased on the net realizable value.
(8) Tai Cheng adopts different method for its construction contracts. If the construction period for a long-term
contracts more than one year, and when estimates of construction profits are reasonably dependable, the
percentage-of-completion method is required.
7) LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS
(1) Long-term investments in which the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries own less than 20% of the
invested company¡¦s voting shares and has no ability to exercise significant influence over the investee
company are accounted for by lower of cost or market value method if the investee company is listed or by
the cost method if the investee company is not listed.
Valuation allowance for unrealized loss under the lower of cost or market value method is recorded as a
reduction in shareholder equity.
(2) Long-term investments in which the Company owns at least 20% of the investee companies¡¦ rights or has
significant influence over the investment balance and its proportionate share in the investee company¡¦s net
assets is amortized over ten years. When the accumulated investment loss of an investee company accounted
for under the equity method exceeds the Company¡¦s original investment cost, the Company recognizes its
investment loss up to the original investment cost. However, if the Company intends to continue supporting
the investee company or considers the loss of the investee company as temporary, based on sufficient
evidence that the investee company will turn profitable in the near future, the Company continues to
recognize the investment loss in excess of its investment cost. The negative investment balance its presented
as a liability on the balance sheet.
(3) Majority owned subsidiaries are accounted for under the equity method and are consolidated at year-end.
However, pursuant to the regulations of the R.O.C. Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), if the total
F-12

assets and operating revenues of a subsidiary are less than 10% of the non-consolidated total assets and
operating revenues of the Company, respectively, the subsidiary¡¦s financial statements are not required to be
consolidated. Irrespective of the above test, when the total combined assets or operating revenues of all such
non-consolidated subsidiaries constitute more than 30% of the Company¡¦s non -consolidated total assets or
operating revenues, respectively, then each individual subsidiary with total assets or operating revenues
greater than 3% of the Company¡¦s non -consolidated total assets or operating revenues, respectively, is
required to be included in the consolidation.
(4) Unrealized gains and losses arising from transactions between the Company and its investee companies
accounted for under the equity method are deferred and amortized over the useful lives for depreciable assets
and are recognized when realized for other assets. Unrealized gain or loss arising from downstream
transactions is recorded by the Company as deferred assets or liabilities and are classified into current and
non-current assets or liabilities based on their expected realization period. Unrealized gain or loss arising
form upstream transactions or transaction between investee companies accounted for under the equity
method are eliminated by adjusting the long-term investment and investment income (loss) accounts.
8) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
(1) Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost.
(2) Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, plus one year as
residual value. Salvage values of assets, which are still in use after the end of their estimated useful lives, are
depreciated based on the newly estimated remaining useful lives. The estimated useful lives are 55 years for
building and 3 -10 years for other assets.
(3) Major renewals and imp rovements are treated as capital expenditures, and are depreciated accordingly.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred. When an asset is disposed, the cost and
accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective account and the re sultant gain or loss is included
in current non-operating income or expense.
(4) Interests incurred during the construction period are capitalized.
(5) Portion of property, plant of Far East had been revaluated according to government laws and regulations.
After the benchmark date of the revaluation, the depreciation of revaluation assets are calculated based on
the adjusted basis. Reserve for land revaluation increment tax accounted for long-term liabilities.
9) DEFERRED CHARGES
Deferred charges mainly consist of utility installation, which is stated at cost and is amortized on a straight-line
basis over 5 years.
10) RETIREMENT PLAN AND PENSION RESERVE
(1) RADIUM LIFE TECH Co., Ltd. (the ¡§Company¡¨)
A. The Company has a defined benefit retirement plan (the plan) covering all regular employees, which

cost of NT$ 631,786 thousand, and thus a reduction of combined operating profit of NT$ 380,039 thousand, and
a reduction of combined profit before tax of NT$ 380,039 thousand.
2) ACCOUNTS RECLASSIFIED

Method and assumptions used by the Consolidated Company to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are
as follows:
A. The book value of short -term financial instruments on the balance sheet is estimated to be their fair value.
Since such financial instruments will soon be mature, the book value should be a reasonable basis to estimate
fair value. Such basis is applicable to cash and cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivable, restricted
deposits (restricted assets), notes and accounts payable, short-term loans, and short-term bills payable.
B. Market value of the short-term investments is determined by the average closing price of the last month of the
fiscal year. The market value of an open-end fund is the net asset value of the fund at the balance sheet date.
C. The fair values of long-term investments accounted for under the equity method are the underlying equity in
the net assets of the investee companies. The fair values of long-term investments accounted for under the cost
method are their book values.
D. The fair value of long-term bank loans is based on their book value because there are no significant difference
between the present value of future cash flows and the carrying value as the related interest rates approximate
the market rates.

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
WITH REVIEW REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
September 30, 2004 AND 2003
The reader is advised that these financial statements have been prepared originally in Chinese. In
the event of a conflict between these financial statements and the original Chinese version or
difference in interpretation between the two versions, the Chinese language financial statements
shall prevail.

Review Report of Independent Accountants
To: The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Radium Life Tech Co. Ltd.,
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheets of Radium Life Tech Co. Ltd. as of September 30, 2004 and 2003,
and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the nine months then ended, all expressed in New Taiwan
dollars. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company¡¦s management. Our responsibility is to issue a
report on these financial statements based on our review.
Except for the matters described in the next paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with Statement of
Auditing Standards No. 36 ¡§Review of Financial Statements¡¨ issued by the Auditing Committee of the Accounting
Research and Development Foundation of the Republic of China. A review consists principally of applying analytical
procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Republic
of China and thus provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit. Accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion.
As stated in Note 4.8 to the financial statements, we did not review the financial statements of equity-accounted
investments, the investments in which are reflected in the accompanying financial statements using the equity method
of accounting. The aggregate carrying values of the equity-accounted investments were NT$ 1,018,125 thousand (US$
29,954 thousand) and NT$ 987,835 thousand as of September 30, 2004 and 2003 and the equity in their net loss were
NT$ 35,295 thousand (US$ 1,038 thousand) and NT$ 70,332 thousand, respectively, based on the equity investees¡¦
unreviewed financial statements as the same periods.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial statements
referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.
As stated in Note 10 to the financial statements, the Company has signed a pre -sale contract with Jhong Rih Publishing
Co. on December 7, 2001, to sell unit A1, A2 and the basement of Chung Nan Case at a selling price of NT$ 1,026,490
thousand (sales tax inclusive) in total. The Company has recognized sales revenue of NT$ 1,011,826 thousand, and
operating cost of NT$ 631,786 thousand during 2002 and 2001. However, the above transaction had been reversed as a
sales return in 2003, resulting in a reduction of sales revenue of NT$ 1,011,826 thousand, a reduction of operating cost
of NT$ 631,786 thousand, and thus a reduction of operating profit of NT$ 380,040 thousand, and a reduction of profit
before tax of NT$ 380,040 thousand.
October 22, 2004
Taipei, Taiwan
Republic of China
The accompanying unaudited financial statements are intended only to present the financial position and results of
operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles 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 financial statements may differ from those generally accepted in countries and jurisdictions other than the
Republic of China.

RADIUM LIFE TECH CO., LTD.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2004 and 2003
(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars and US Dollars, Except as Otherwise Indicated)
1. HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION
RADIUM LIFE TECH CO., LTD.(The Company)was incorporated as a company limited by shares under the
provisions of the Company Law of the Republic of China on March 26, 1980. The Company primarily engages in
the business of constructions, sales and lease of residential and commercial buildings. On September 30, 2004, the
Company¡¦s numbers of employees were 70. The company was listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE) on
December 22, 2000.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements were prepared in Conformity with ¡§Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial
Reports by Securities Issuers¡¨ and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China. Summary of
significant accounting policies is as follows:
1) OPERATING PERIOD
The main business activities of the Company are lease and sale of public housing and commercial buildings that
were constructed by independent construction. The balance sheet accounts are classified either as current or non current
based on the Company¡¦s operating cycle (more than one year).
2) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash on hand, bank deposit, petty cash, and short-term investments that are readily convertible into known
amount of cash and with maturity dates that do not present significant risks on changes in value resulting from
changes in interest rates.
3) SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
Short-term investments are stated at all acquisition costs and valued at the lower of cost or market value method
at year-end. Cost is determined using the moving average method. Any excess of aggregate cost over the market
value is recorded as unrealized loss and reported as other expense. Subsequent recovery in market value is
reflected in other income to the extent of the original cost of the investment.
4) ALLOWANCE FOR BAD DEBTS
Allowance for bad debts is provided based on the evaluation of the collectibility and the aging analysis of notes
receivable, accounts receivable and other receivable at the balance sheet date.
5) CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT ACCOUNTING
The company adopts the completed-contract method and the percentage¡Vof¡Vcompletion method for its
construction method. The main accounting treatments are as follows:
(1) When the Company purchases a property under construction from another party and to continue the
construction, the profit or losses for sales of such properties are based on the completed-contract method for
which the profit or loss is recognized only when the contract is completed and the title is transferred. If the
Company contracts with other parties to construct and pre -sale properties, it may recognize the profit for sale
based on the Percentage-of- Completion Method if all of the follow conditions are met:
A. The construction has progressed beyond the preparatory stage, i.e., the designing, planning, contracting,
grading of the construction has completed and the construction work can be started any time.
F-56

B. The total amount of pre-sale contracts has reached the total estimated construction cost.
C. Buyers¡¦ payment has reached 15% of the total contract price.
D. Collectibility of the contract amount receivable can be reasonably estimated.
E. The total contract costs and the degree of completion at the end of the period can be reasonably estimated.
F. Individual costs attributable to the different sales contracts can be reasonably identified.
(2) Payments for the purchase of land made before obtaining the ownership are recorded as land prepayments,
and are transferred to land used for constructions when the ownership is obtained.
(3) Constructions in progress, land, buildings and parking spaces to be sold (recorded as inventories) and real
estate sales costs (recorded as operating cost) Constructions in progress include the construction site and
construction engineering costs of unfinished contracts; Under the Completed¡VContract method, when the
construction contracts are completed, the costs of the contracts, in which the property is sold and the title is
transferred to a customer, are calculated based on the ratio of the respective selling price over the estimated
total selling price, and are recorded as costs in the year of completion of the constructions. The remaining
construction costs are allocated to the unsold portion and recorded as inventories on the balance sheet. While
under the percentage-of-completion method, contract profit for the current period is the difference between
the cumulative profit based on the percentage of completion at the end of the current period and the
cumulative profit recognized in prior periods. However, if the cumulative profit recognized in prior periods is
greater than the cumu lative profit calculated based on the percentage of completion at the end of the current
period, the excess should be recorded as a loss in the current period.
If a contract is estimated to bear a loss prior to completion, the full amount of the loss should be recognized
immediately whether the completed-contract or percentage-of-completion method is adopted. However, if the
loss is estimated to be smaller in future years, the difference should be reversed and recognized as a gain in
that year.
(4) Deferred selling expenses are the selling expenses of pre -sale buildings that are recorded as current assets
when incur. Under the Completed-Contract Method, the selling expenses are included in current year¡¦s result
only when the contract is completed. While under the Percentage-of-Completion Method, selling expenses
are recognized based on the percentage of its completion.
(5) Building or land payments received from advance sale of constructions in progress are recorded as received
in advance; when the construction contracts are completed, revenues of the contracts, in which the property is
sold and the title is transferred to a customer, are recorded in the current period¡¦s operating results.
(6) The interest costs resulting from the purchase of land and the construction of buildings are capitalized, and
are recorded as land acquisition costs and construction costs, respectively.
(7) Constructions in progress and land, buildings and parking spaces to be sold are valued at the lower of cost or
market value. Market value is determined based on the net realizable value.
(8) The Company adopts different method for its construction contracts. If the construction period for a longterm
contracts more than one year, and when estimates of construction profits are reasonably dependable, the
percentage-of-completion method is required.
6) LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS
(1) Long-term investments in which the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries own less than 20% of the
invested company¡¦s voting shares and has no ability to exercise significan t influence over the investee
company are accounted for by lower of cost or market value method if the investee company is listed or by
F-57

the cost method if the investee company is not listed.
Valuation allowance for unrealized loss under the lower of cost or market value method is recorded as a
reduction in shareholder equity.
(2) Long-term investments in which the Company owns at least 20% of the investee companies¡¦ rights or has
significant influence over the investment balance and its proportionate share in the investee company¡¦s net
assets is amortized over ten years. When the accumulated investment loss of an investee company accounted
for under the equity method exceeds the Company¡¦s original investment cost, the Company recognizes its
investment loss up to the original investment cost. However, if the Company intends to continue supporting
the investee company or considers the loss of the invertee company as temporary, based on sufficient
evidence that the investee company will turn profitable in the near future, the Company continues to
recognize the investment loss in excess of its investment cost. The negative investment balance its presented
as a liability on the balance sheet.
(3) Majority owned subsidiaries are accounted for under the equity method and are consolidated at year-end.
However, pursuant to the regulations of the R.O.C. Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), if the total
assets and operating revenues of a subsidiary are less than 10% of the non-consolidated total assets and
operating revenues of the Company, respectively, the subsidiary¡¦s financial statements are not required to be
consolidated. Irrespective of the above test, when the total combined assets or operating revenues of all such
non-consolidated subsidiaries constitute mo re than 30% of the Company¡¦s non -consolidated total assets or
operating revenues, respectively, then each individual subsidiary with total assets or operating revenues
greater than 3% of the Company¡¦s non -consolidated total assets or operating revenues, re spectively, is
required to be included in the consolidation.
7) PROPERTY PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
(1) Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost.
(2) Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, plus one year as
residual value. Salvage values of assets, which are still in use after the end of their estimated useful lives, are
depreciated based on the newly estimated remaining useful lives. The estimated useful lives are 55 years for
building and 3 -10 years for other assets.
(3) Major renewals and improvements are treated as capital expenditures, and are depreciated accordingly.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred. When an asset is disposed, the cost and
accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective account and the resultant gain or loss is included
in current non-operating income or expense.
8) DEFERRED CHARGES
Deferred charges mainly consist of utility installation, which is stated at cost and is amortized on a stra ight-line
basis over 5 years.
9) CONVERTIBLE BONDS
The interest-premium of convertible bonds, which is the difference between the specified put price and the par
value, is amortized using the interest method and is recognized as a liability over the perio d from the issuance
date of the bonds to the expiry date of the put option. If the bondholder does not exercise the put option, the
interest-premium, which has been recognized as a liability, is amortized over the period from the expiry date to
the maturity date using the interest method. However, if at the expiry date, the market value of the common stock
under conversion exceeds the put price, the interest-premium should be credited to additional paid-in capital.
The cost of issuing convertible bonds is recorded as deferred assets and is amortized over the period from the
F-58

issuance date of the convertible bonds and the expiry date of the put option. When bondholders exercise their
conversion rights, the book value of convertible bonds is credited to common stock at an amount equal to the par
value of the common stock and the excess is credited to capital reserve; no gain or loss is recognized on bond
conversion.
10) RETIREMENT PLAN AND PENSION RESERVE
The Company has a defined benefit retirement plan (the plan) covering all regular employees, which provided
benefits based on length of service and average salaries and wages during last six months before retirement. The
Company recognizes minimum pension liabilities for the excess of accumulated benefit obligation over the fair
value of plan asset based on actuarial valuation in accordance with R.O.C. SFAS No. 18, ¡§Accounting for
Pension¡¨. The Company also complies with the disclosure requirement of R.O.C. SFAS No. 18, ¡§Accounting for
Pension¡¨.
In accordance with R.O.C. SFAS No. 18, net periodic pension cost includes service cost, interest cost, expected
returns on plan assets and amortization of unrecognized net transition obligation, pension gains/losses and prior
period service cost.
Contributions to the retirement fund are charged to expenses when paid or accrued. Actual payments of
employee¡¦s retirement benefits are made out of the fund and any excess of such payments over the fund
accumulated is charged to expenses when paid.
11) LEGAL RESERVE AND CAPITAL RESERVE
Based on the Company Law, the Company, when allocating its net profits after all taxes and dues, shall first set
aside ten percent of the said profits as legal reserve, until such legal reserve equals to the total issued capital.
Beside the Company Law¡¦s 232 Article, such legal reserve shall not be appropriated as cash dividends. It shall
only be transferred to common stock or to replenish deficits. Similarly, the capital reserve shall only be
transferred to common stock or unutilized for replenish of deficits.
12) INCOME TAX
(1) In accordance with R.O.C. SFAS No. 22, ¡§Accounting for Income Taxes¡¨, income tax expense is provided
based on accounting income after adjusting for permanent differences. The provision for income tax
includes deferred income tax resulting from items reported in different periods for tax and financial
reporting purposes, loss carry -forward and investment tax credits. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are
further classified into current and noncurrent items based on the classifications of the related assets or
liabilities or on the expected realization period. Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided to
the extent that it is more likely than not that the tax benefits will not be realized.
(2) The 10% additional corporate income tax on the undistributed earnings of the Company is recorded as
income expense in the year when the shareholders approve the resolution to retain the earnings.
13) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share are calculated, by taking into consideration the additional
common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive share equivalents had been converted.
14) USE OF ESTIMATE
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
disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue, costs
and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those assumptions and estimates.

Method and assumptions used by the Company to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are as
follows:
A. The book value of short -term financial instruments on the balance sheet is estimated to be their fair value.
Since such financial instruments will soon be mature, the book value should be a reasonable basis to
estimate fair value. Such basis is applicable to cash and cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivable
restricted deposits (restricted assets), notes and accounts payable, short-term loans, and short -term bills
payable.
B. Market value of the short-term investments is determined by the average closing price of the last month of
the fiscal year. The market value of an open-end fund is the net asset value of the fund at the balance sheet
date.
C. The fair values of long-term investments accounted for under the equity method are the underlying equity
in the net assets of the investee companies. The fair values of long-term investments accounted for under
the cost method are their book values.
D. The fair value of long-term bank loans is based on their book value because there are no significant
difference between the present value of future cash flows and the carrying value as the related interest
rates approximate the market rates.
