ECERA COMTEK CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2004

(Expressed in New Taiwan Dollars unless Otherwise Stated)

1. Organization and Operations

ECERA COMTEK CORPORATION (“The Company”) was formed on June 15, 2000. The main activities of the Company consist of the manufacturing and selling of quartz crystals, quartz vibrators, as well as the raw materials, parts, and semifinished products.

In June 2003, AKER TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. (“AKER TECHNOLOGY”) issued 23,884,000 shares of common stocks, at $16 per share, in exchange for 99.93% equity of the Company.

As of December 31, 2004, the Company had 197 employees.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

a. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash on hand, cash in banks and all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.

b. Forward exchange contracts

 

(1) Forward exchange contracts entered into for hedging purpose are recorded at the spot exchange rate at the contract date. At the balance sheet date, the outstanding contracts are revalued. The resulting exchange gain or loss is recognized in the current year.

c. Foreign-currency Transactions

 

(1) The accounts of the Company are maintained in New Taiwan Dollars. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into New Taiwan Dollars at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occur.

 

(2) Foreign exchange gains or losses resulting from the exchange rate fluctuations between the transaction date and the actual settlement date are recognized as follows:

 

  (a) When the transaction date and the actual settlement date fall in the same accounting period, the differences between the recorded amount and the settled amount are credited to or charged against current income.

 

  (b) When the transaction date and the actual settlement date fall in different accounting periods, receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured using the spot rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Any resulting gains or losses are reflected in current income.

 

10


d. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Allowance for doubtful accounts represents estimates of the uncollectible amount out of the outstanding notes receivable and accounts receivable at the balance sheet date.

e. Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method, while market value is the net realizable value for finished goods and merchandise, and replacement cost for raw materials, supplies and work in process.

f. Long-term Investments

 

(1) Long-term investments in which the Company holds less than 20% of the voting shares of the investees and has no ability to exercise significant influence on the investees’ operational decisions are stated at the lower of cost or market value if the investee company is listed, and at cost if the investee company is not listed. Unrealized loss on the decline in market value is accounted for as a deduction of the stockholders’ equity. Where the decline in the investment value is permanent and the possibility of share price recovery is remote, an investment loss is recognized and charged against current income. Long-term investments in which the Company holds more than 20% of the investee company’s voting shares or has the ability to exercise significant influence on the investee’s operational decisions are accounted for under the equity method.

 

(2) Unrealized intercompany gains and losses are eliminated under the equity method. Profits from transactions of depreciable assets between the investees and the Company are amortized over the assets’ economic service lives. Profit from other types of intercompany transactions is recognized when realized.

g. Property, Plant and Equipment

 

(1) Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives.

The useful lives are summarized as follows:

 

Items

   Useful Lives

Buildings

   8~50 years

Machinery and equipment

   9 years

Furniture, fixtures and equipment

   3~6 years

 

(2) Major replacements, renewals and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

 

(3) Interest incurred in connection with the construction or acquisition of property, plant and equipment is capitalized as part of the cost of the assets.

 

(4) Gains or losses from disposal of property, plant and equipment are recognized as non-operating income or expenses.

 

11


h. Deferred Charges

Deferred charges include the purchase cost of computer software and capitalization of certain miscellaneous purchases which meet the Company’s capitalization policy. Deferred charges are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated service lives.

i. Accrued Pension Liabilities

 

(1) In conformity with the Labor Standards Law of the Republic of China (“the Law”), the Company established a defined benefit pension plan. Under the plan, the Company began to contribute an Employee Retirement Fund (“the Fund”) at 2% of the total salaries and wages from February 2001. The Fund is administered by the Employee Retirement Fund Committee of the Company as prescribed by the Law, and is maintained under the Committee’s name with a government-approved financial institution. The Fund is totally independent from the Company, and is hence excluded from the financial statements.

 

(2) Effective from 2001, the Company adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.18 of Taiwan, “Accounting for Pensions” to account for the above pension plan. Based on the actuarial report with a measurement date of December 31, 2001, the excess of the accumulated benefit obligations over plan assets is recognized as the minimum pension liability. Net pension costs based on the actuarial report are recognized from January 1, 2002, and the unrecognized net asset or obligation during transition period is amortized equally over 15 years.

j. Revenues and expenses

Revenues are recognized when the earning process is substantially completed and they are realized or realizable. Costs and expenses are recognized as incurred.

k. Income Tax

The Company adopted SFAS No. 22, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under SFAS No.22, a current income tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable for the current year, and a deferred tax asset or liability is recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences, tax credits, and loss carryforwards. A valuation allowance is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company’s undistributed retaining earnings are subjected to an additional 10% income tax which is expensed as of the date of the shareholders’ meeting when the appropriation of earnings is resolved.

The Company adopted SFAS NO.12, “Income Tax Credit”. Under SFAS No.12, income tax credit resulted from acquisition of equipment, expenditures on technology, research and development, and personnel training are recognized as deduction of income tax expenses in the current period. Unused amount is recorded as deferred tax assets.

l. Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Shares issued for cash are weighted for the portion of the period they were outstanding, whereas shares issued as a result of stock dividends or capitalization of capital surplus are weighted given retroactive recognition to the appropriate equivalent change in capital structure for the entire period.

9. Significant Subsequent Events

In September 2005, the Company was acquired by Pericom Semiconductor Corporation (Pericom). After the acquisition, Pericom owned 99.93% of the Company’s outstanding common shares.

In February 2006, the Company paid $45,000,000 to purchase 5,000,000 shares, which represent 50% of total share interest, in AZER CRYSTAL TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD (AZER) from AKER.TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD After the acquisition, AZER becomes the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary.

In April 2006, the Company merged with AZER. The Company was the surviving company and AZER was dissolved as a result of the transaction.

10. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

  a. The purposes and strategies of using derivative financial instruments:

The Company uses derivatives to manage risks related to exchange rate fluctuations. Forward contract was entered into for exchange rate hedging purposes. The company’s exchange rate risk management strategy is to stabilize the exchange gains on losses incurred from the market.

 

  b. Credit risk:

Credit risk means the possible loss that may be incurred in the event that the counter parties default. As the counterparties of the Company are all financial institutions with good credit ratings, credit risk is considered to be remote.

 

  c. Market risk:

Forward contracts are intended for hedging purposes. Gains or losses arising from the fluctuations in exchange rates are likely to be offset against the gains or losses from the hedged items. As a result, no significant exposure to market risk is anticipated.

 

21


  d. Disclosure of the fair value of financial instrument in accordance with SFAS No. 27, “Disclosure of Financial Instruments”, is as follows:

 

     December 31, 2004
     Book Value    Fair value

Financial Assets

     

Financial assets with book value equal to fair value

   $ 336,718,579    $ 336,718,579

Financial Liabilities

     

Financial liabilities with book value equal to fair value

   $ 133,362,051    $ 133,362,051

Loan

     465,490,983      465,490,983

The methods and assumptions used to measure the fair values of financial instruments are as follows:

 

A. The carrying amounts of short-term financial assets and liabilities approximate fair values due to their short maturities.

 

B. The fair values of long-term investments are based on the quoted market price of the securities, or the underlying equities in the net assets of the investees, if market value of the investments is not available.

11. MATERIAL DIFFERENCES between US GAAP and ROC GAAP

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China (“ROC GAAP”), which differs in certain significant aspects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Significant differences exist between ROC GAAP and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), which might be material to the Company’s financial statements. Certain differences between ROC GAAP and U.S. GAAP that may be material to the Company include the following:

 

  (1) Pension

Under ROC GAAP, the Company determines the accumulated pension obligation and the pension expense on an actuarial basis based on ROC SFAS No.18, which is substantially similar to US FAS No. 87. However, US GAAP has more restraint requirements of actuarial discount rate. Under US GAAP, FAS 106 and EITF Topic D-36 require that the assumed discount rates reflect the time value of money as of the measurement date and that the employers look to rates of return on high-quality fixed-income investments currently available whose cash flows match the timing and amount of expected benefit payments. For purposes of determining high-quality fixed income investments, fixed-income debt securities that receive one of the two highest ratings given by a recognized

 

22


ratings agency can be considered high quality (for example, a fixed-income security that receives a rating of Aa or higher from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.). Further, if settlement of the obligation with third-party insurers is possible, the interest rates inherent in the amount at which the postretirement benefit obligation could be settled are relevant in determining the assumed discount rates. The above guidance is equally applicable in computing pension obligations under US GAAP.

 

  (2) Compensation

 

  a. Compensated absences

Under ROC GAAP, the Company is not required to accrue for unused employee’s vacation leave at of the end of each year because it is normally forfeited when not used. Under US GAAP, however, US FAS 43 requires that an employer accrue a liability for employees’ compensation for future absences if all of the following conditions are met: a. The employer’s obligation relating to employees’ rights to receive compensation for future absences is attributable to employees’ services already rendered, b. The obligation relates to rights that vest or accumulate, c. Payment of the compensation is probable, and d. The amount can be reasonably estimated.

 

  b. Remuneration to directors and supervisors

Under ROC GAAP, cash remuneration to its directors and supervisors from appropriating a portion of net profit is charged directly to retained earnings in the period when shareholders approve such payment. Under US GAAP, such cash payments are recorded as compensation expenses in the period when services are rendered.

 

  c. Employee bonuses

Under ROC GAAP, employee bonuses are treated as an appropriation of retained earnings and recorded when the shareholders’ approval is obtained. Under US GAAP, employee bonuses are treated as compensation expense and are charged to income during the period they are earned. Under US GAAP, the minimum employee bonuses are initially accrued as at the year-end based on the terms of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation with adjustment for the difference, if any, in the subsequent year after shareholders’ approval.

 

  (3) Tax Effect of 10% Additional Tax on Undistributed Earnings

Under ROC GAAP, a 10% tax on undistributed earnings is recognized as a tax expense in the period when the amount of undistributed earnings is determined. The effect of the 10% tax on temporary differences is not recognized for ROC GAAP purpose. Under US

 

23


GAAP, in accordance with guidance published by AICPA International Practices Task Force, the 10% tax on undistributed earnings is accrued in the period during which related income is generated and the impact of the 10% tax is measured for both current and deferred tax perspectives.

 

  (4) Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Under ROC GAAP, there are no requirements related to the evaluation of recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets before January 1, 2005. US GAAP SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Ling-Lived Assets”, requires entities to perform separate calculations for assets to be held and used to determine whether recognition of an impairment loss is required, and if so, to measure the impairment. If the sum of expected future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest charges, is less than an asset’s carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized; if the sum of the expected future cash flows is greater than an asset’s carrying value, an impairment loss cannot be recognized. Measurement of an impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset. US GAAP SFAS 144 also generally requires long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets to be disposed to be recorded at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less cost to sell.

 

  (5) Reclassification of Prepayment for Purchases of Property, Plant and Equipment

Under ROC GAAP, prepayment for purchases of property, plant and equipment is classified under fixed assets. Under US GAAP, this is generally classified under other assets.

 

  (6) Reversal of gain from price recovery of inventory

Under ROC GAAP, the write down of inventory due to lower of cost or market can be reversed to the extent that the reversal does not exceed the original cost. Under US GAAP, as indicated in SAB Topic 5-BB, the SEC staff believes that based on ARB 43, Ch. 4, a write-down of inventory to the lower-of-cost-or-market value at the close of a fiscal period creates a new cost basis that subsequently cannot be marked up based on changes in underlying circumstances.

 

24


  (7) Net income (loss) variance of equity-method investee between US GAAP and ROC GAAP

Under US GAAP, APB 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock”, requires the equity pick-up under the equity method be based on the net income (or net loss) and financial position of an investee determined in accordance with US GAAP. The Company’s proportionate share of the income (loss) from an equity-method investee may differ if the investee’s net income (loss) under ROC GAAP differs from that under US GAAP, resulting in differences in the carrying amount of the equity investment reported under ROC GAAP and US GAAP.

 

  (8) Business combination and push down accounting

Under ROC GAAP, the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination is recorded as goodwill and amortized on a straight-line basis over no more than 20 years. There is no requirement to identify and allocate a portion of the purchase price to intangible assets. Further, there is no requirement of push down accounting. Therefore, in connection with AKER TECHNOLOGY’s acquisition of the Company in 2003, the purchase accounting effects under ROC GAAP have been reflected in the financial statements of AKER TECHNOLOGY and not in the Company’s financial statements presented herein. Under US GAAP, FAS 141 provides specific criteria that must be applied to determine whether, as a result of a business combination, identifiable intangible assets have been acquired and should be recognized separately from goodwill. In addition, goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment on an annual basis. Moreover, in accordance with SAB Topic 5-J “ Push Down Basis Of Accounting Required In Certain Limited Circumstances”, since AKER TECHNOLOGY acquired more than 95% of the Company, the new basis of accounting arising from applying purchase method of accounting under FAS 141 would be required to be “pushed down” to the Company’s financial statements under US GAAP.

Such pro forma results do not purport to be indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition been made as of that date or the results which may occur in the future.

The unaudited pro forma financial adjustments are based upon available information and assumptions that Pericom believes are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma adjustments to reflect the allocation of the purchase price are based upon the preliminary information which may be revised as additional information becomes available. The notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements provide a more detailed discussion of how such adjustments were derived and presented in the pro forma financial statements. Such financial statements have been compiled from historical financial statements and other information, but do not purport to represent what Pericom’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the transactions occurred on the dates indicated, or to project Pericom’s financial performance for any future periods.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Description of Transaction

On September 6, 2005, Pericom Semiconductor Corporation, a California corporation (the “Company”), filed a current report on Form 8-K to report that it acquired 39,773,792 shares of the common stock of eCERA ComTek Corporation (“eCERA”) representing 99.93% of the shares issued and outstanding of eCERA. The total purchase price, including assumed debt of approximately $14.7 million is approximately $29.4 million including transaction costs. The Company also has the right, through March 7, 2006; to purchase the remaining 50% of eCERA’s 50% owned crystal blank manufacturing subsidiary AZER Crystal Technology Co, Ltd. (“Azer”), for approximately $1.4 million. eCERA and Azer are a Taiwanese designer, manufacturer and distributor of frequency control products. eCERA and its subsidiary Azer have been a key supplier of quartz crystal blanks and crystal oscillator products for our frequency control product line. The Company purchased the assets, properties, rights, goodwill and claims used in, relating to, or arising from the conduct of the business of eCERA including substantially all of its cash, receivables, inventory, equipment and other tangible personal property and has also assumed the burdens, obligations and liabilities of eCERA and Azer incurred in the normal course of business. The Company purchased eCERA from AKER Technology Company, Ltd. (“AKER”), a publicly traded company in Taiwan. AKER is traded on the Taiwan OTC Exchange (TWO) under the symbol AKER, Code 6174.

The cash purchase price of 475 million New Taiwan Dollars was to be paid in two installments. The first installment of 400 million New Taiwan Dollars was paid on September 7, 2005 at the Closing Date. The second installment of 75 million New Taiwan Dollars was paid on October 21, 2005.

Included in the purchase of eCERA is eCERA’s 50% ownership of Azer comprised of 5,500,000 shares of common stock. The remaining 50% of Azer is owned by AKER. Under a separate share purchase agreement executed on August 30, 2005 AKER has agreed to offer, sell and deliver to eCERA the remaining 50% ownership comprised of 5,500,000 shares of common stock for a purchase price of $8.182 per share for an aggregate purchase price of Forty Five Million New Taiwan Dollars, or approximately $1.4 million based on exchange rates on September 7, 2005. The payment of the purchase price and the sale of the shares by AKER to eCERA will be consummated within six months of September 7, 2005 after satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the share purchase agreement. The Company used and will use working capital to make these investments in eCERA and Azer.

2. Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

These amounts represent adjustments related to the acquisition of eCERA under the purchase method of accounting. The total purchase price has been allocated on a preliminary basis to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon management’s best estimates of their fair value with any excess cost over the net tangible and intangible assets acquired allocated to goodwill. The preliminary estimated purchase price is allocated as follows and is for illustrative purposes only (in thousands):

 

28


This allocation is subject to change pending a final analysis of the total purchase cost and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final purchase cost, as well as the impact of ongoing integration activities, estimated other liabilities directly related to the eCERA acquisition and changes in purchase accounting allocations, could all cause material differences from the information presented.

3. Pro Forma Adjustments

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are as follows:

 

A. To eliminate intercompany sales and cost of sales.

 

B. To record the amortization of intangibles

Amounts represent the amortization of intangible assets (per the allocation of the estimated purchase price in 2 above) that would have been recorded during the year ended July 2, 2005 had the transaction closed on the first day of fiscal year 2005. The intangible assets in Pericom’s acquisition of eCERA will be amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from three to seven years. Management has completed its preliminary allocation of the purchase price and does not expect the final allocation to differ materially from the preliminary determination.
