2.    It is additionally planned to allocate NT$1,094,938,940 from capital reserves for capitalization, and capitalizing share premium capital reserves will take precedence in the aforementioned capitalization of capital reserves.
 
3.    New shares allocation method: In the previous items 1 and 2, a capital increase of a total of NT$1,970,866,460 is planned, with an issuance of 197,086,646 new shares, calculated according to the 5,474,694,749 shares registered in the Company’s roster of shareholders as of March 2008, with 9 shares of stock dividend as gratuitous surplus-turned capital increase and 20 shares of stock dividend as capital reserve-turned capital increase for a total of 29 shares for each 1,000 shares held by shareholders. Later, if the Companys ECB holders exercise the right of conversion, or new shares issued to employees against Employee Stock Option warrant, or new shares issued by the Company for a cash capital increase, or buyback of the Companys stocks, or transfer or cancellation of the Companys treasury stocks, which affect the cash distribution rate and stock distribution rate of the shareholders bonus, requiring adjustment, the management will request the shareholders meeting to authorize the board of directors to handle the situation plenipotentiarily and make the adjustment accordingly. Shareholders are advised to consolidate the odd share of less than one share to make up one share by their own means for registration within 5 days as of the base date for distribution of new shares. Where the insufficient and inadequate part will be paid in cash by the par value. The board of directors has authorized the chairman to assign a specific person to purchase odd shares of less than one share. In addition, distribution of new shares for employee bonus-turned capital increase, the Companys by laws and the Companys Measures Concerning Distribution of Employee Bonus shall govern.

various items set for this capital increase case, or changes must be made to meet the objective environment, the board of directors is authorized to act at its discretion.
 
Resolution:
 
 
Item 2   (Proposed by the Board of Directors)
 
Proposal:
 
To meet the requirements for larger production capacity in future the Company needs to enrich its operation capital in order to repay bank loans or the needs for other long-term development use, thereby enabling the fund-raising channels more diversified and flexible. As such, the shareholders meeting is requested to authorize the board of directors to opt at the optimal time, depending on the market situation and the status of capital needs of the Company and in accordance with existing laws and regulations, for capital increase in cash by issuing common shares or joining the issuance of GDR (Global depository receipts) or domestic capital increase in cash or issuance of domestic or ECB to raise fund. The case is being presented for discussions.
 
Explanation:
1.    The principles to authorize the board of directors to issue new common shares and GDR for capital increase in cash shall be as follows:
 
1.1  Issuance of common shares in the form GDR for capital increase in cash shall be limited to 500,000,000 shares only. The shareholders’ meeting shall authorize the board of directors and the chairman of the board to make the adjustment by the market condition and issue the authorized GDR’s all at once.
 
1.2  In conducting issuance of new shares in the form of GDR for capital increase in cash, the issuance price shall be by the rules set forth in the Self-discipline Rules Concerning Subscription and Issuance of Securities by the Issuing Company Member Underwriters Have Assisted in the Process, i.e., the issuance price shall not be lower than the closing price of the Company’s common stock at the domestic open market. Take the simple arithmetic mean of the closing price of the common share on the first, third and fifth day prior to the price-setting day, minus 90% of the average stock price after gratuitous ex-rights and ex-interest, then comes the price for the new issue. However, the price-setting method may be duly adjusted if related domestic laws and regulations are updated. Since the stock price at home has often experience drastic volatility in the short run, the chairman of the board is authorized to set the actual issuance price within the above-mentioned price range, after having consulted with underwriter taking into consideration the international general practice, international capital market, domestic market price, the overall subscription status so as to make the offering price attractive to overseas investors. Consequently, the price-setting method should be reasonable. Additionally, the deciding method for the issuance price of GDR is based on the fair trading price of common shares at the domestic open market whereas the original stockholder may purchase the common shares at domestic stock exchange at the price close to the issuance price of the GDR, without bearing the exchange rate risk and liquidity risk. Moreover, the tranche of issuance of new shares and GRD for capital increase in cash do not affect much of the

shareholders’ equity as the highest dilution ratio in relation to the original shareholders’ equity stands only at 9.13%.
 
1.3 10% of common shares issued for capital increase in cash shall, according to Article 267 of The Company Act, be reserved for subscription by company employees and the remaining 90% will be fully appropriated for open issuance as the securities for GDR as the original shareholders have waived their rights for subscription in accordance with Article 28-1 of the Securities Trading Act.  For the part that employees have not subscribed, the chairman of the board is authorized to contact specific party for purchase or, depending on the market requirements, list as the original securities for participation in the issuance of GDR.
 
1.4 The proceeds for capital increase in cash from subscription to the GDR shall be used for overseas procurement of materials, enrichment of operation capital, repayment of bank loans, purchase of machinery and equipment, and/or spin-off in one or multiple use and is expected to complete the implementation within 2 years after the fund is fully raised. Implementation of the said plan is expected to intensify the Company’s competitiveness, enhance the benefit of the operation efficiency, producing positive benefit to shareholders.
 
1.5 The board of directors is authorized to set the major contents of the capital increase in cash plan, which includes issuance price, number of shares issued, issuance conditions, source of capital, plan items, amount of fund raised, estimated progress and estimated probable effect generated as well as the issuance plan of participation in the issuance of GDR.
 
1.6 Once the plan for capital increase in cash is approve d by the competent regulatory authority, the board of directors will be authorized to proceed with matters related to issuance of new shares.

Business Report
 
2007 results represented a fluctuating year for ASE, consistent with the entire semiconductor market. Overall electronics industry growth was better than forecasted in the first half of the year, but weakened during the second half as uncertainty over a potential economic recession grew. Soaring oil prices, lower consumption, and the sub-prime mortgage of the USA added to global market concerns. According to IEK ITIS, the value of Taiwans IC packaging industry in 2007 increased 8.2% year over year to NT$228 billion, but it represented the lowest level of annual growth since 2001. In addition, the value of Taiwans test industry in 2007 grew only 10.7% to NT$102.3 billion, with further growth hindered by the continued fall of DRAM and Flash test prices.

Signs indicate that a readjustment of the global economy has begun and the shift of economies is significant. Industrialized countries are facing slow economic growth, while the performance of newly industrialized economies has grown in recent years with this growth trend expected to continue as investment increases in these specific regions. Facing the uncertainty of the macro economy and semiconductor market this year, one thing certain is our commitment to cost, quality, and partnerships with key customers. We will exercise caution using limited capital, but will make the best strategic investments on behalf of our customers. With continued focus on our core businesses, we will make the necessary changes to create a win-win operation model for excelling growth and profits.

The following report shows our operational status in the past year.

Report on Operations in Fiscal 2007

1.  Accomplishment of Business Plan for Fiscal 2007
 
Our revenue in 2007 grew to NT$101.2 billion, representing an increase of less than 1% (NT$800 million) growth over 2006. As many world-leading semiconductor companies ramped up operations in China, IC packaging and test companies likewise expanded capacity and product portfolios. Revenues for our China assembly and test operations grew in 2007, and we expect to see continued growth in 2008 as ASE works with all our customers to offer high volume, lower cost manufacturing. Our package portfolio in China is still not complete; however, we have launched some major initiatives in order to compete and eventually provide a complete product portfolio. One such initiative was the completion of an assembly and test joint venture (ASEN) with NXP Semiconductors, the independent semiconductor company founded by Philips, which was approved by the Investment Commission of the Ministry of

Economic Affairs (MOEAIC). ASEN combines ASE’s expertise in assembly and test with NXP’s technology know-how and innovative processes. Overall, ASE’s China operations deliver strong value across the entire semiconductor industry chain, helping customers to optimize their assembly and test, shortening their time to market and ensuring high quality, cost-effective products.

2.  Budget performance
 
No financial forecast was disclosed in 2007.

3.  Analysis of financial accounts and profitability
 
By the end of 2007, the paid-in capital was $54,475,589 thousands and the shareholder equity was $75,173,361 thousands, commanding 74% of the total assets amounting to $102,045,382 thousands. The long-term capital to fixed assets ratio was 286%, indicating a significant improvement in the financial ratio from last year, while the financial structure and debt re-payment capacity remained stable. Operating income and profit after tax for 2007 were NT$10,680,296 thousands and NT$12,165,249 thousands respectively; and the overall operating results and profitability reduced slightly due to volatile market conditions and recession concerns.

4.  R&D overview
 
As a result of dedicated R&D investment, we successfully developed the following new technologies: DDR2 800 packaging and testing solutions, 65nm copper process/lead-free flip-chip package and wire bonding package for low-k wafers, 65nm copper process/stacked chip scale package (SCSP) for low-k wafers, wafer via technology, laser wafer cut technology, 0.7 mil wire bonding package technology, Bluetooth module technology, WiFi module technology, copper wire bonding package technology, and outer lead flip-chip Map PoP stacking technology.

In 2007, we were also the first IC packaging and test provider in Taiwan to receive the Green System Certificate of QC080000. Our chemistry laboratory received RoHS certification from the TAF in November 2007, and began to provide internal RoHS packaging services. These achievements are testament to our commitment to the design, R&D, manufacture and production of green products, environmental safety, and quality assurance.

Business Plan for 2008 in summary
 
1.  
Operating policy
 
1.1  
Provide customer with services of “ultimate quality”
 
1.2  
Create long-term and stable profits for the organization and customers
 
1.3  
Create prosperity with suppliers together

1.4  
Develop employees to be elite in respective areas
 
1.5  
Treat employees “in a fair and reasonable manner”
 
1.6  
Provide employees with a “harmonious, happy and open” work environment
 
1.7  
Maintain flexibility in operations

2.  Projects sales volume and references
 
In light of current industry dynamics, future market demand and ASEs capacity, the projected sales volume for 2008 is as follows:
 
Item
Project Sales
Package
Approx. 4.1 billion chips
Test
Approx. 800 million chips

3.  Important production and sales policies
 
As packaging and test technologies are becoming more sophisticated, the technology and capital thresholds of packaging and test industries are likewise changing every year. We are aligning our R&D objectives accordingly and placing major focus on the development of the most advanced packaging technologies in Taiwan.

As we ramp-up operations in China, we are placing focus on the low-level package market and offering the right combination of product performance and cost advantage to meet domestic market needs. It is estimated that the revenue proportion of our mid- and low-level IC packaging and test services will increase gradually and become one of our major sources of our income and profit within the next 3-5 years.

Future Development Strategy
For 2008, Gartner Dataquest forecasts another year of growth for the SATS industry with initial estimates for 9.8 percent over 2007. Driving growth will be the continued adoption of Windows Vista, the replacement of desktops by laptops, and the high demand for communication products and consumer electronics in emerging markets across the world. Also expected to contribute to SATs market growth is the fab-lite operating strategy, increasingly being adopted by the IDM community. According to Frost & Sullivan, growth of the IC packaging market in Asia will double during the 2006-10 timeframe.

As customers demand more sophisticated designs to meet fast-moving consumer electronics market trends, ASE remains highly competitive in terms of both know-how and finance. In addition, as the Taiwanese government abolished the restrictions on low-level packaging and test industries at the end of 2006, we increased our investment in China in order to successfully compete in the market, as well as expand the scope of product ranges to attract more new customers and provide existing customers with the best possible product portfolio.

Influences of external competitions, regulations and macroeconomics
In addition to the increasing sophistication and miniaturization of electronic products, environmental issues have also deeply impacted the semiconductor industry at large. The EUs environmental regulations and non-toxic and lead-free requirements have pushed the packaging industry to channel innovation towards the development of green products. This requires capital investment, so we have embarked on relevant green package studies and also initiated discussion with customers on the most effective supply chain logistical management, required to meet both established and emerging green standards. In terms of environmental regulations, while listing employee bonuses as fees will be the practice in Taiwan starting this year, the valuation of stock will then be the same as that of world-leading suppliers in the long run. Therefore, the valuation of the price-earning ratio (PER) of Taiwanese stocks, which have been underestimated for a long time, will be more competitive.

Despite external environmental changes, we will dedicate efforts to accelerate organizational growth and expansion, while creating greater reward for shareholders. Together, as a company, ASE is well-equipped to meet market challenges, and persevere in our role as market leader. Today, ASE is not only more healthy than ever, we can also provide all key customers a much more complete service as well as achieve higher growth in the longer term.

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, 2007 and 2006, 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, 2007 and 2006, 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, the requirements of the Business Accounting Law and Guidelines Governing Business Accounting relevant to financial accounting standards, and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company separated the related operation, assets, and liabilities of its material segment into its subsidiary, Advanced Semiconductor Engineering Electronics Inc. on August 1, 2006, and acquired 294,930 thousand shares issued by this subsidiary.  The related operating income of the separated material segment for the year ended December 31, 2006 has been reflected as separated segment in the statements of income mentioned in the first paragraph.

As discussed in Note 27 to the financial statements, the Company incurred fire damage to its production lines and facilities 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 inventories, building, machinery and equipment, net of NT$4,616,000 thousand of insurance receivable in 2005.  The Company reached final settlement with the insurers in June 2006 with regards to the fire damage referred to above.  The final settlement amount of NT$7,190,524 thousand, less the NT$4,616,000 thousand recorded in 2005 and the related repair and restoring expenses of NT$1,043,262 thousand, was recorded as a gain in 2006.  The Company also reversed NT$2,009,102 thousand of previously recorded impairment charges on these fire-damaged building, machinery and equipment due to an increase in the esimated service potential of the assets.  Net amount of NT$3,540,364 thousand

was recognized as a gain on insurance settlement and impairment recovery with NT$2,362,579 thousand and income from separated segment with NT$1,177,785 thousand, respectively.

As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company adopted Republic of China Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 34, “Financial Instruments:  Recognition and Measurement”, No. 36, “Financial Instruments:  Disclosure and Presentation” and other revised Statements on January 1, 2006.

We have also audited the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of and for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, and have expressed an unqualified opinion, and a modified unqualified opinion with an explanatory paragraph, respectively.

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 (collectively the “Company”) as of December 31, 2006 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, all expressed in New Taiwan dollars.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We 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 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.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our 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, 2006 and 2007, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, the requirements of the Business Accounting Law and Guidelines Governing Business Accounting relevant to financial accounting standards, and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.

As discussed in Note 29 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred fire damage to its production line and facilities in Chung Li, Taiwan on May 1, 2005.  The Company recognized an estimated loss of NT$13,479,079 thousand for the damage to its inventories, building, machinery and equipment, net of NT$4,641,000 thousand of insurance receivable in 2005.  The Company reached a final settlement with the insurers in June 2006 with regards to the fire damage referred to above.  The final settlement amount of NT$8,068,000 thousand, less the NT$4,641,000 thousand recorded in 2005 and the related repair and restoring expenses of NT$1,043,132 thousand, was recorded as a gain in 2006.  The Company also reversed NT$2,190,583 thousand of previously recorded impairment charges on these fire-damaged building, machinery and equipment due to an increase in the estimated service potential of the assets.  The net amount of NT$4,574,451 thousand was recognized as a gain on insurance settlement and impairment recovery.

As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted the Republic of China Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 34, “Financial Instruments:  Recognition and Measurement”, No. 36, “Financial Instruments:  Disclosure and Presentation” and other revised Statements on January 1, 2006.

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 31 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 to the consolidated financial statements.  Such U.S. dollar amounts are presented solely for the convenience of the readers.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated April 10, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
