NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

MARCH 31, 2003 AND 2004

 

(EXPRESSED IN THOUSANDS OF NEW TAIWAN DOLLARS,

 

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE INDICATED)

 

1. HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION

 

  1) World-Wide Test Technology Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on December 18, 1996. The Company is engaged in the research, development, manufacturing, testing, and assembly of integrated circuits.

 

  2) The Company suffered recurring losses from operations and as of March 31, 2004. The Company has accumulated deficit of $1,684,282 and stockholders’ deficit of $270,331. On April 29, 2004, the Company was merged into ChipMOS Logic TECHNOLOGIES INC., a subsidiary of a NASDAQ listed company, ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES (Bermuda) LTD., and the Company was extinguished from the merger effective on April 30, 2004. The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.

 

  3) As of March 31, 2003 and 2004, the Company had 160 and 180 employees, respectively.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the Republic of China (“R.O.C. GAAP”). A summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is as follows:

 

  1) Translation of foreign currencies

 

The accounts of the Company are maintained in New Taiwan dollars. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates at dates of transactions. Receivables, other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at balance sheet date. Foreign exchange gains or losses are included in the current year’s operating results.

 

 

 

- 6 -


Table of Contents
  2) Short-term investments

 

Short-term investments are stated at the lower of aggregate cost or market value. Cost is determined using the acquisition cost. The market value of listed stocks is determined based on the average closing price during the last month of the accounting period, and the market value of open-ended funds is based on the net asset value at the balance sheet date. The amount by which aggregate cost exceeds market value is reported as a loss in the current year.

 

  3) Allowance for doubtful accounts

 

Allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on the evaluation of the collectibility and age of notes receivable, accounts receivable and other receivables at the balance sheet date.

 

  4) Long-term investments

 

  A. Long-term investments are recorded at cost when acquired. Long-term investments in which the Company owns less than 20% of the investee company’s voting rights and has no significant influence on the investee company’s operational decisions are accounted for at the lower of cost or market value, if the investee company is listed, and at cost if the investee company is not listed. The market value of listed stocks is determined using the average closing price during the last month of the accounting period. The unrealized loss on decline in market value is recognized as a deduction from stockholders’ equity. When it becomes evidently clear that there has been a permanent impairment in value of investments in both listed and non-listed investee companies and the chance of recovery is minimal, loss is recognized in the current year’s operating results.

 

  B. Long-term investments in which the Company owns at least 20% of the investee company’s voting rights are accounted for by the equity method.

 

  C. Majority owned subsidiaries, in which the Company owns more than 50% of the investee companies’ voting rights, are consolidated except for the subsidiaries with total assets and operating revenue constituting less than 10% of the non-consolidated total assets and operating revenues of the Company, respectively. 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, has to be included in the consolidation. Majority owned subsidiaries which are not consolidated are accounted for under the equity method.

 

- 7 -


Table of Contents
  D. For foreign investments accounted for under the cost method, the investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. The excess of the original cost which is based on the actual New Taiwan dollar amount remitted over the translated amount is recognized as an adjustment of cumulative translation adjustment under stockholders’ equity. The accumulated translation difference arising from the translation of financial statements of a foreign investee accounted for under equity method will be recognized proportionally as an adjustment under stockholders’ equity.

 

  5) Property, plant and equipment, net

 

  A. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Interest costs incurred during the construction or installation of the assets are capitalized.

 

  B. The Company provides depreciation on the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated economic service lives, plus one additional year as salvage value. Salvage value of fixed assets which are still in use after the end of the original estimated service lives are depreciated over their new remaining estimated service lives. The estimated useful lives are 5 - 55 years for buildings and 2-6 years for other property and equipment.

 

  C. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated accordingly. When an asset is sold or retired, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the resultant gain or loss is included in current year’s operating results.

 

  D. For capital leases, the present value of periodic lease payments are capitalized as assets and the Company correspondingly recognizes the lease payments as liabilities in the balance sheet. A sale and lease back transaction where the seller-leasee sells an asset to the buyer-lessor and leases the asset back is deem to be one transaction and gains/losses arising from this sale is deferred and amortized over the period of lease for an operating lease and over the future economic useful life of sold assets for capital lease. A loss on a sale-leaseback is recognized immediately by the seller-leasee to the extent that net book value exceeds fair value.

 

  E. Fixed assets which are not in use are reclassified to idle assets at the lower of net realizable value or book value. Depreciation provided on the idle assets is recorded as non-operating expense in the current period.

Table of Contents
  6) Deferred charges

 

Deferred charges, mainly consisting of computer software costs and electronic power supplies, are stated at cost and amortized over 2-5 years using the straight-line method.

 

  7) Retirement plan

 

The Company has a defined benefit retirement plan (the “Plan”) covering all regular employees. Benefits under the Plan are generally determined based upon years of credited service, age at retirement and average compensation in accordance with the Republic of China (the “R.O.C.”) Labor Standards Law. The Company recognizes net periodic pension cost, which includes service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of unrecognized transition obligation, pension gains/losses and prior service cost, based on an actuarial valuation in accordance with and FAS No. 18, “Accounting for Pension”.

 

  8) Income tax

 

  A. In accordance with FAS No. 22, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, the income tax effect resulting from temporary differences, net operating loss carryforward and investment credits is recorded as income tax assets or liabilities using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are further classified into current or non-current items and are presented on the financial statements as net balance according to the nature of the underlying assets and liabilities and timing of their expected realization. Valuation allowance on deferred tax assets are not provided unless the available evidence indicating the deferred tax assets cannot be realized.

 

  B. According to FAS No. 12, “Accounting for Income Tax Credit”, the Company’s income tax credits generated from the acquisition of automation equipment or technology, expenses for research and development, employee training and investment are recognized in the period when the tax credits arise.

 

  C. The 10% additional income tax on undistributed earnings under the imputation tax system is recorded as income tax expense in the year when the shareholders resolve to retain the earnings.

 

  D. Under or over provision of prior year’s income taxes is adjusted to income tax in the current year.

  11) Use of estimate

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the R.O.C.

Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

11. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES FOLLOWED BY THE COMPANY AND ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES

 

  a. Marketable securities

 

Under R.O.C. GAAP, marketable equity securities are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market, and debt securities at amortized cost, an allowance of losses is provided when the carrying value of the securities exceeds the total market value with the related provision for losses charged to income for the current year for short-term investment and to a separate equity account for long-term investment. Any recovery of the market value to the extent of the original carrying value is recognized as income for short-term investment and through equity to the extent that allowance for losses is recognized. Under ROC GAAP and practice, the allowance for losses for long-term investment is not required to be recognized through the current year’s operating results until such a investment is disposed of or when the investee company reduce its capital. Under ROC GAAP, the valuation is based on the last month average closing price; however under US GAAP, it is based on the actual closing price. Under SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in

 

- 24 -


Table of Contents

Debt and Equity Securities”, all investments in debt securities are to be classified as either trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity securities and investments in equity securities that have readily determinable fair values are to be classified as trading or available-for-sale securities. Debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and reported at amortized cost. Debt and equity securities that are bought and traded for short-term profit are classified as trading securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Debt and equity securities not classified as either held-to-maturity or trading are classified as available-for-sale securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in a separate component of stockholders’ equity; however, unrealized losses relating to declines in fair value deemed to be other than temporary are recorded in earnings. The adjustment below relates to the Company’s equity securities that are classified as available-for-sale securities under U.S. GAAP.

 

  b. Impairment of long-lived assets

 

Under U.S. GAAP, in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for the Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of,” impairment losses for assets to be held and used are recorded in the current period’s earnings and create a new cost basis for related assets going forward, and cannot be reversed subsequently. Such a new cost basis is depreciated over the remaining useful life of that assets. Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the recoverability test is performed by comparing undiscounted net cash flows of the assets to the net book value of the assets. If the recoverability test indicates that impairment has occurred, the impairment loss is the amount of the asset’s net book value in excess of the related fair value. Under R.O.C. GAAP, there is no specific standard to address impairment of long-lived assets; normally such assets would be carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.

 

  c. Pension expenses

 

SFAS No. 87, “Accounting for Pensions” was effective no later than the beginning of the first period for which a U.S. GAAP reconciliation is required for foreign issuers. The Company started to adopt SFAS No. 87 in 2002. It was not feasible to apply SFAS 87 on the effective date(s) specified in the standard. Under R.O.C. GAAP, SFAS No. 18, which is similar in many respects to SFAS No. 87 was effective in 1996. However, the treatment of certain expenses that comply with ROC SFAS No. 18 is different from SFAS No. 87.

  d. Consolidation

 

Under R.O.C. GAAP, a company is not required to prepare consolidated interim financial statements and its investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries are accounted for under the equity method. Under U.S. GAAP, consolidation of majority-owned subsidiaries is required in the preparation of the consolidated interim financial statements, unless control does not rest with the majority owner. The consolidation of majority-owned subsidiaries will have impact on multiple balance sheet and profit and loss accounts.

 

  e. Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets

 

Under ROC GAAP and practice, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets are not required to be provided unless the available evidence indicating the deferred tax assets cannot be realized. Under SFAS No. 109, the valuation allowance should be sufficient to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

 

The following reconciles net loss and stockholders’ equity (deficit) under R.O.C. GAAP as reported in the accompanying financial statements to net loss and stockholders’ equity (deficit) amounts determined under U.S. GAAP, giving effect to adjustments for the differences listed above.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

June 30, 2004

 

Introduction

 

On April 30, 2004, WORLD WIDE TEST Technologies Inc. (WWT) was merged into ChipMOS Logic TECHNOLOGIES INC. (ChipMOS Logic), a subsidiary of ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES (Bermuda) LTD. (ChipMOS Bermuda), with ChipMOS Logic as the surviving entity, in a stock-for-stock merger pursuant to which shareholders of WWT received one common share of ChipMOS Logic in exchange for 10 common shares of WWT.

 

The following unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared giving pro forma effects on the statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as if WWT was merged with ChipMOS Logic on January 1, 2004. The actual merger occurred on April 30, 2004.

 

The unaudited pro forma financial information is based upon the consolidated financial statements of ChipMOS Bermuda as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and the historical financial statements of WWT for the period from January 1 to April 29, 2004 after giving effect to pro forma adjustments described in the accompanying notes.

 

The unaudited pro forma financial information does not purport to represent what the results of operations of ChipMOS Bermuda and its subsidiaries and WWT would actually have been if the events described below had in fact occurred at the beginning of 2004, or any other date, or to project the net profit of ChipMOS Bermuda and its subsidiaries and WWT for any future period. The adjustments are based on currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions. However, management believes that the assumptions provide a reasonable basis for presenting the unaudited pro forma financial information and that pro forma adjustments give effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma financial information.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS

June 30, 2004

(In Thousands of New Taiwan and U.S. Dollars, Except Par Value)

 

(1) Description of pro forma adjustments

 

There is a pro forma adjustment to record the minority shareholders’ share of profits of WWT.

 

(2) Weighted average number of shares outstanding

 

Pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated based on the pro forma weighted average number of shares outstanding of 59,811 thousand and 60,323 thousand, respectively, as of June 30, 2004.

 

(3) Translation into U.S. Dollar amounts

 

ChipMOS Bermuda and WWT maintain their accounts and express their financial statements in New Taiwan dollars. For convenience purposes, U.S. dollar amounts presented in the accompanying pro forma financial statements have been translated from New Taiwan dollars at the noon buying rate in the City of New York cable transfers in New Taiwan dollars as certified for customers purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as of June 30, 2004, which was NT$33.66 to US$1.00. These convenience translations should not be construed as representations that the New Taiwan dollar amounts have been, or could in the future be, converted into U.S. dollars at this or any other rate of exchange.

 

(4) Purchase accounting on the merger of WWT into ChipMOS Logic

 

The merger of WWT into ChipMOS Logic was consummated through a stock-for-stock exchange. The purchase price of NT$310,374 thousand (US$9,221 thousand) was determined based on the fair value of the existing assets and liabilities of WWT for the purpose of applying purchase accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP). The management of ChipMOS Logic believed the book value of WWT’s existing assets and liabilities approximated the fair value of those assets and liabilities as at the date of the merger.

 

(5) Summary of significant differences between accounting principles followed by ChipMOS Bermuda and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the Republic of China, which differ in certain respects from U.S. GAAP. Please refer to Note 27 to the audited consolidated financial statements of ChipMOS Bermuda as of and for the year ended December 31, 2003 filed on June 17, 2004 (Form 20-F) and Note 11 to the audited financial statements of WWT as of and for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003 filed on October 26, 2004 (Form 6K) for further information on reconciling items.
