Item 4 (Proposed by the Board of Directors)

Proposal:   To respond to the Company’s future production capacity expansion plan, replenish operating funds, pay off bank loans or meet other funding needs of the Company’s long-term development, and to make the fund raising vehicles more diverse and flexible, the Board proposes to authorize the Board of Directors to raise funds at an appropriate time by issuance of common stock for cash to participate in issuance of global depository receipts, by domestic issuance of common stock for cash, or by issuance of domestic/foreign convertible corporate bonds in light of the market condition and the Company’s funding needs in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation, pertinent laws and various handling principles stated in the following explanation.
         
Explanation:   1. The principles of authorizing the Board of Directors to carry out the issuance of new shares to participate in issuance of global depository receipts (GDR):

         
      (1) New shares issued to participate in issuance of global depository receipts this time shall be limited to 500,000,000 shares. The Shareholders’ Meeting authorizes the Board of Directors and Chairperson to adjust the issuance within the aforesaid limit to stay in line with market situation, and place the entire issuance in one offering.
         
      (2) The price of shares issued this time for increase in capital in cash by issuing common shares for participation in the issuance of GDR shall be governed by the Self-discipline Rules Governing Fund-raising and Issuance of Securities Assisted by Member Underwrites issued by Chinese Securities Association, which stipulates that the price shall not be lowered than the closing price for the common share on domestic open market on the date the price is set. The issuer may select one of the closing prices for the common share on the first, third and fifth business day prior to the price-setting date and calculate the closing price for common share at the simple arithmetic average minus 90% of average stock price after ex-rights of the non-remunerative appropriated share. If there are changes in related domestic laws and regulations, the price-setting method may change accordingly. In view of the short and volatile function of domestic stock price, the chairman of the board is authorized to adjust the actual issuance price within the above-prescribed scope in consultation with the underwriter, according to international practice, and in reference to international capital market, domestic stock price and the purchase condition so as to raise acceptance by overseas buyers. As such, the price-setting method for issuance of new shares should be reasonable. The deciding method for the price of the GDR issued this time is based on the fair price of common stock traded at the domestic open market, which 
         

- 7 -






    allows original shareholders to purchase the common share at home at a price close to that for the GDR without bearing the foreign exchange risk and mobility risk. In other words, there is no major impact upon shareholder’s equity resultant from the GRD issuance in question. Moreover, new shares issued as a result of capital increase in cash that are eligible for participation in the tranche of the GDR versus the maximum dilution ratio of the original shareholder’s equity stand at 10.96%, which, in fact, have no major impact upon shareholder’s equity.
 
  (3) In accordance with Article 267 of the Company Law, 10% of the new issuance will be set aside for purchase by the Company’s employees. The remaining 90% will be publicly offered entirely in the form of global depository receipts as the original shareholders forfeit their rights of subscription according to Article 28-1 of the Securities Transaction Law. For shares not subscribed by employees, the Board of Directors may contact specific parties for purchase or include them in the issuance of global depository receipts, depending on market needs.
     
  (4) Funds raised through issuance of global depository receipts for capital increase in cash are estimated for use in overseas procurement, strengthening of operation capital, repayment of bank loans, purchase of machinery and equipment, single spinoff use or multiple spinoff use. Implementation of the above-mentioned items is expected to be completed within two years. Upon completion, it is estimated that competitiveness of the Company will be further enhanced, operation efficiency elevated, thereby producing positive effect upon shareholder’s equity.
     
  (5) The Board of Directors is authorized to determine the important particulars of this issuance of stock for cash, including issuance price, shares issued, issuing terms, source of funds, expected net proceeds, planned schedule, and expected benefits, and the global depository receipts issuance plan.
 
  (6) The Board of Directors is authorized to handle matters related to issuance of new shares after the issuance of stock for cash has been approved by the authorities concerned.
 
  (7) The Board of Directors is fully authorized to make changes to the issuing time, issuing terms, share issuance, issuance amount and other items in connection with this issuance of stock for cash and issuance of global depository receipts necessitated by the order of the authorities

    2. The principles of authorizing the Board of Directors to issue new shares for raising funds in the domestic market:
 
      (1) New shares issued this time shall be limited to 500,000,000 shares.
 
      (2) The new shares will have a par value of NT$10 per share. The actual issuance price will be jointly decided by the Chairperson and underwriters in line with then market status and self-discipline Rules of issuance securities assisted by Member Underwrites issued by Chinese Securities Association.

      (3) This issuance of stock for cash of new shares will be carried out by book building.

  Attachment I

Business Report

2005 turned out to be another phenomenal fiscal year for Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (ASE), despite a slow start to the first half of the year. ASE recorded year on year growth of 12% – higher than the semiconductor industry growth of 7%. This continued growth can be attributed to several tactical strategies implemented corporate-wide to improve efficiency, control cost, and maximize output. In light of the continued shareholders’ support as well as the Company’s stellar revenue performance, the management has focused strongly on expanding shareholders’ returns and generating positive cash flow for a stronger financial portfolio. The following is a report of the Company’s operation in the past year:

Results of 2005 operations

  1. 2005 business plan and the results of its implementation
 
    We closed the fiscal year with total revenues of NT$84 billion (12% year-on-year growth vs. FY2004) and a net loss of NT$4.7 billion (vs. net profit of NT$4.2 billion in FY2004)). The net loss was largely due to the impact of the fire mishap at ASE’s Chung Li facility in May of 2005.
 
    The fire incident caused a disruption to the entire backend supply chain, and prompted us to critically review our internal processes in light of the market realities. We decided to implement programs that better justify current and future investments in the infrastructure required to improve and support our business, as well as to provide a better margin of returns. With the co-operation of our customers, suppliers, staff, and management, we successfully:
 
    - adjusted unit prices of package and test costs to reflect the increase in the cost of sales
 
    - implemented fee schedules for services such as engineering, design, and small lot processing
 
    - improved utilization of assembly and test equipment to maximize capacity
 
    - reduced the customer base so that top tier and loyal customers of ASE are better served
 
    - focused on quality and technology development to facilitate the next quantum leap
 
    As a result of the renewed business model, we were still able to report an increase in total revenues and higher operating margins, despite the challenge we faced in May.

  2. Update on budget implementation
    The Company did not make any financial forecast.
 
  3. Analysis of Income, Expense, and Profitability
    At the end of 2005, paid-up capital was NT$45,573,723,000. Shareholders’ equity was NT$47,050,196,000 - accounting for 48% of the total assets of NT$97,806,132,000. Long-term capital accounted for 209% of fixed assets. The current ratio was 123%, an obvious improvement compared with 2004. Our financial structure and debt repayment capability have both strengthened. Operating income in 2005 amounted to NT$4,067,730,000. Excluding the loss incurred by the fire, our operating profits remained positive and revenues improved year-on-year.
 
  4. Research and Development
    The trend for electronics moving towards lighter, thinner and smaller product designs packed with high performance features, has perennially posed challenges to engineers and manufacturers. Technology advances in IC packaging and test have been instrumental in enabling these designs to market. ASE has been in the forefront of continuous research and development of advanced packaging technologies. In 2005, the Company successfully developed package modules for applications in megapixel digital cameras and mobile phones, as well as micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) modules for applications in projection equipment and high definition digital TVs. Other milestones in technology development included the deployment of high-lead electroplated bumping and advanced wafer level chip scale packaging. In earlier times, these technologies were only available at US-based semiconductor powerhouses. The increased outsourcing of assembly manufacturing to service providers such as ASE, has provided the impetus to refining these technologies and offering them on a broader scale.
    R&D efforts remain a core competence at ASE as investments in this area will generate high returns in the long run.
 

Highlights of 2006 Business Plans

  1. Operation Guidelines
    The Company’s key objectives are 1) to provide customers quality and professional service; 2) to create long-term and steady profits for the Company and its customers; 3) to co-operate with our key suppliers for mutual benefits; 4) to train employees and provide opportunities for excellence in their profession; 5) to treat employees fairly and reward appropriately; 6) to provide an open and harmonious work environment for employees; and 7) to exercise a degree of flexibility in business operations.
 
  2. Sales Volume Projection and the Basis
 

- 16 -






    In analyzing the current market environment, anticipated demands, and the Company’s production capacity, we estimate 2006 unit volume sales as follows:

Item Estimated Sales Volume (units)
Packaging 5 billion
Testing 900 million
Material 200 million

  3. Marketing Strategies
    n Maintain cordial relationships with existing IDM customer base and aggressively develop new business opportunities with potential customer base so as to increase market share, as well as enhance our competitive edge in the marketplace.
    n Strengthen R&D capabilities and provide new technologies and services to meet customers demand on product, price, and quality in addition to creating a win-win situation through collaboration with customers.
    n Continue with the ramp up in the production of IC substrates to enable the Company a better margin of return in its complete manufacturing process and to enhance its total turnkey solution offerings.

Future Development and the Strategy of the Company

     As we venture further into 2006, we remain optimistic about the year’s outlook as the 3C segments – Communications, Consumer, Computing – remain strong. New products continue to be launched to meet consumers’ insatiable demands and will thus continue to drive a steady semiconductor industry growth. In the past year, semiconductor assembly and test service providers (SATS) have curbed their capital expenditure to restore the balance in supply and demand. At one point, capacity constraints were experienced when demand exceeded supply. Since the fire at ASE’s Chung Li facility, the Company took a critical review of its business model and re-directed focus on profitability instead of aggressive revenue growth. We believe that current utilization will remain high and our capex spending will be appropriated on a limited scale.

     According to a recent estimate by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS), semiconductor revenues in 2006 will reach US$245.3 billion, an increase of 8% compared to 2005. With a strong team at ASE, we firmly believe that our performance will again be above industry average and we will remain as the leader in the backend service industry.

Impact from the Competitive Landscape, Governing Laws & Regulations and Management Policies

     In the past, the entry barriers for assembly and test service providers were considerably high. However, recent developments in the industry as well as increasing technology

exchange programs and licensing have turned high end packages such as Ball Grid Array (BGA) packages, Flip Chip and advanced IC test services, into mainstream products and services. These technologies, nevertheless, require large amounts of investment outlay. ASE, with its financial strength, is well positioned to continue its investments in technologies and equipment, and in mergers and acquisitions of companies and assets that complement its business objectives. The Company continues to enlarge its market share with IDMs’ increased outsourcing business opportunities. ASE aims to compete aggressively in the market and overcome internal and external challenges to meet its business goals and objectives.

Years Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and
Independent Auditors’ Report

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

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

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Those rules and standards require that 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 financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.

As discussed in Note 23 to the financial statements, the Company incurred fire damage to one of its production lines in Chung Li, Taiwan on May 1, 2005. The Company recognized an estimated loss of NT$11,849,699 thousand for the damage to its building, machinery and inventories. With the assistance of external counsel, the Company submitted insurance claims to its insurers for compensation for damages which the Company believes to be clearly identifiable. Based on the Company’s understanding of the process for resolving insurance claims for similar incidents where the damage incurred was not readily quantifiable, it is anticipated that it will be a lengthy process for the Company to complete the insurance claim process due to the large number of damaged assets and the need to prepare the required supporting documentation. As a result, the Company is unable to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of total claims to be received from the insurance companies. The insurance recoveries on the aforementioned damages that are clearly identified and reasonably estimated amounted to NT$4,616,000 thousand, which reduces the total estimated loss, and of this amount NT$2,287,580 thousand had been received as of December 31, 2005. Any recovery for the remaining NT$7,233,699 thousand is contingent on the result of the lengthy professional appraisal process, and as such this amount was recognized as a loss on fire damage for the year 2005. The Company will recognize any subsequent recoveries in future years when additional insurance claims are accepted by the insurers.

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

Advanced Semiconductor Engineering,
Inc. and Subsidiaries

Consolidated Financial Statements for the
Years Ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 and
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

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

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Republic of China) and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2004 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2005, all expressed in New Taiwan dollars. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule accompanying the consolidated financial statements. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China (“ROC”) and the Standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those rules and standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by 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 consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2004 and 2005, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth herein.

As discussed in Note 25 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred fire damage to production lines in Chung Li, Taiwan on May 1, 2005. The Company recognized an estimated loss of NT$13,479,079 thousand (US$410,948 thousand) for the damage to its building, machinery and inventories. The insurance recoveries on the aforementioned damages that are clearly identified and reasonably estimated amounted to NT$4,641,000 thousand (US$141,494 thousand), which reduces the total estimated loss, and of this amount, NT$2,300,000 thousand (US$70,122 thousand) has been received as of December 31, 2005. Any recovery for the remaining NT$8,838,079 thousand (US$269,454 thousand) is contingent on the result of the lengthy professional appraisal process, and as such this amount was recognized as a loss on fire damage for the year 2005.

- 31 -






As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted Republic of China Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 35 “Accounting for Asset Impairment” on December 31, 2004.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China differ in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in Note 30 to the consolidated financial statements.

Our audits also comprehended the translation of New Taiwan dollar amounts into U.S. dollar amounts and, in our opinion, such translation has been made in conformity with the basis stated in Note 2. Such U.S. dollar amounts are presented solely for the convenience of the readers.

Schedule 3

Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc.
Fairness Opinion

Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (ASE) proposes to transfer its materials segment (including assets, liabilities, and operations, the “Materials Segment”) to its wholly-owned subsidiary, ASE Electronics Inc. (ASEE) in response to the increasing business competition in the semiconductor industry. ASEE will issue new shares in exchange for these assets and liabilities from ASE and continue to operate the Materials Segment.

I. Calculation of the ratio of exchange
 
  I. The business value (represented by assets less liabilities) for which ASE proposes to transfer is based on the corresponding book value of such assets and liabilities as stated in the financial statements as of March 31, 2006, which were reviewed by independent auditors.
 
  II. The book value of total assets and liabilities ASE proposes to transfer is NT$4,121,506,001 and NT$1,866,832,360, respectively. The operating value, defined as total assets less liabilities, is calculated to be NT$2,254,673,641. The book value of total assets and liabilities for the proposed transfer as of March 31, 2006 is shown below:

  III. ASE proposes to issue 225,467,364 common shares at NT$10 per share in exchange for the transferred assets and liabilities and related operations.
 
II. Reasonableness of the exchange ratio between transferred assets and shares received

- 57 -






ASE Inc. transfers its assets and liabilities and related operations in the Materials Segment to its wholly-owned subsidiary, ASE Electronics Inc. , and ASE Electronics Inc. issues 225,467,364 common shares in return for the transferred assets and liabilities. The exchange ratio for the transaction is determined based on the value of the transferred assets and liabilities, and the issuance price of the common shares of ASE Electronics Inc., which are determined as follows:

  I. This exchange transaction is for the restructure of the Company’s business instead of a disposal of business segment. According to Interpretation No. 128 of the Accounting Research and Development Foundation on accounting for exchange or disposal transactions (“ARDF No. 128”), which was issued on June 6, 2002, for companies under common control, if the transferor transfers its operations to the transferee and receives shares in return, it is accounted for as a business restructure. The cost for such shares received shall be the book value of total net assets, calculated as the book value of total assets transferred (after any impairment charges) less total liabilities transferred, and no gain shall be recognized on the exchange. The transferee shall record the assets and liabilities received at the transferor’s book value, the net of which shall be recorded as common shares and additional paid in capital. Therefore ASE Inc.’s proposed value for the transferred assets and liabilities at book value is in accordance with the ARDF No. 128.
 
  II. ASEE issued 225,467,364 new shares at NT$10 per share, representing NT$2,254,673,641, which is equivalent to the carved-out portion of the net asset value of NT$2,254,673,641 from ASE. As ASEE is a 100% owned subsidiary of ASE, and that the operating value equals the net assets value, the ratio of shares exchanged in this transaction is in accordance with the ARDF No. 128.
 
  III. In summary, the calculation of the ratio of exchange in the Company’s transfer of Materials Segment is based on the book value of the related assets and liabilities of the Company’s reviewed financial statements as of March 31, 2006. In our opinion, based on the guidance provided by the Interpretation of the Accounting Research and Development Foundation and our review of relevant financial information, the ratio of exchange at which ASEE issued 225,467,364 shares of common stock at NT$10 per share to ASE Inc. is in accordance with the ARDF No. 128.
