REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Chinese

To United Microelectronics Corporation

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of United Microelectronics Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to issue the review report based on our reviews. As described in Note 3(7) to the consolidated financial statements, certain long-term investments were accounted for under the equity method based on the financial statements as of September 30, 2012 and 2011 of the investees, which were reviewed by the other independent accountants. Our review, insofar as it related to the investment income amounted to NT$163 million and NT$412 million, which represented 2.30% and 4.50% of the consolidated income from continuing operations before income tax for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and the related long-term investment balances of NT$4,174 million and NT$3,923 million, which represented 1.44% and 1.41% of the total consolidated assets as of September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, are based solely on the reports of the other independent accountants.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the Statements of Auditing Standards No. 36, “Review of Financial Statements” of the Republic of China. A review is limited primarily to applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews and the reports of the other independent accountants, we are not aware of any material modifications or adjustments that should be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above in order for them to be in conformity with requirements of the order VI-0960064020 issued by Financial Supervisory Commission, Executive Yuan, Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.

As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, effective from January 1, 2011, the Company has adopted the third revision of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 34, “ Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”, and the newly issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 41, “Operating Segments” of the Republic of China.

Note F: Not until March 2005 did the Company receive an offer of approximately 106 million ordinary shares from Best Elite International Limited (Best Elite), the holding company of HeJian Technology Corp. (HeJian). The offered shares represented approximately 50% of Best Elite’s outstanding ordinary shares and approximately 15% of the total outstanding shares of Best Elite. The Company filed an inquiry with the Investment Commission of the Ministry of Economic Affairs on March 18, 2005 (Ref. No. 94-Lian-Tung-Tzu-0222), for their executive guidance with respect to the offer. Subsequent to Best Elite Board approval, the offered ordinary shares were placed in a trust while the Company awaited the Investment Commission’s guidance. While in trust, the Company could not receive ownership (nor any potential stock dividend or cash dividend distributed) and is not the beneficiary thereof unless Company received approval from the Investment Commission. In the event that any stock dividend or cash dividend was distributed, the Company’s potential stake in Best Elite would have accumulated accordingly.

No response from the Investment Commission of the Ministry of Economic Affairs was received on the Company’s inquiry for many years. In June 2011, the Company filed an application for the acquisition of the aforementioned donated Best Elite shares as well as for an additional purchase of Series B and B-1 preferred shares (Note F). Thereafter, on November 1, 2011, the Company received the approval letter from the Investment Commission of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (Ref. No. Jing-Shen-Er-Zi-10000274530). With such an approval, the Company was able to formally accept the ordinary shares, which have been held in trust since 2006. Based on the approval letter from the Investment Commission of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, which designated the ordinary shares offered by Best Elite as a donation, the Company recognized the said shares at their fair value of USD 23 million on the day of transfer, December 12, 2011, as a long term investment accounted for under the equity method with a corresponding gain recorded in other income.

Note G: On March 16, 2011, in order to achieve its global market objectives, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an offer to the stockholders of Best Elite to purchase up to 30% of the preferred shares of Best Elite. In June 2011, the Company filed an application on the 15.34% donated shares (in trust as described above) as well as 20.41% of the preferred shares of Best Elite based on the said shareholders’ offering.

Such purchase of 20.41% of the preferred shares of Best Elite was approved on November 1, 2011 in the same letter from the Investment Commission of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (Ref. No. Jing-Shen-Er-Zi-10000274530) granting approval for the Company’s ownership of Best Elite ordinary shares placed in trust. Pursuant to such approval, the Company acquired by way of purchase at fair value Series B and B-1 preferred shares representing 19.56% of Best Elite’s total outstanding shares on December 12, 2011 and the Company thereby increased its cumulative ownership in Best Elite to 34.90%. The Company accounts for its investment as a long term investment under the equity method in accordance with R.O.C. SFAS No.5, “Long-term investments under equity method”.

Note H: The Company follows international accounting practices in equity accounting for limited partnerships because no equivalent type of business exists in R.O.C., and therefore, the Company uses the equity method to account for these investees.

b. The change of investees’ equity was charged to the Company’s equity. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the changes charged to additional paid-in capital were increases of NT$0 and NT$53 million, respectively, and the changes charged to retained earnings were decreases of NT$94 million and NT$16 million, respectively.

c. Total gains (losses) arising from investments accounted for under the equity method were a gain of NT$599 million and a loss of NT$273 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Investment income amounted to NT$163 million and NT$412 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and the related long-term investment balances of NT$4,174 million and NT$3,923 million as of September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, were determined based on the investees’ financial statements reviewed by the other independent accountants.

d. The long-term equity investments were not pledged.

(19) RETAINED EARNINGS AND DIVIDEND POLICIES

According to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, current year’s earnings, if any, shall be distributed in the following order:

a. Payment of all taxes and dues;

b. Offset prior years’ operation losses;

c. Set aside 10% of the remaining amount after deducting items (a) and (b) as a legal reserve;

d. Special capital reserve or reversal in accordance with relevant laws or regulations or as requested by the authorities in charge; (Note)

e. Set aside 0.1% of the remaining amount after deducting items (a), (b), (c) and (d) as directors’ remuneration; and

f. After deducting items (a), (b), (c) and (d) above from the current year’s earnings, no less than 5% of the remaining amount together with the prior years’ unappropriated earnings is to be allocated as employee bonus, which will be settled through issuance of new shares of UMC, or cash. Employees of the UMC’s subsidiaries, meeting certain requirements determined by the board of directors, are also eligible for the employee stock bonus.

g. The distribution of the remaining portion, if any, will be recommended by the board of directors and resolved in the stockholders’ meeting.

The policy for dividend distribution should reflect factors such as the current and future investment environment, fund requirements, domestic and international competition and capital budgets; as well as the benefit of stockholders, stock dividend equilibrium, and long-term financial planning. The board of directors shall make the distribution proposal annually and present it at the stockholders’ meeting. UMC’s Articles of Incorporation further provide that no more than 80% of the dividends to stockholders, if any, must be paid in the form of stock dividends. Accordingly, at least 20% of the dividends must be paid in the form of cash.

Note: In light of the amendment of the Corporate Governance Best-Practice Principles for TWSE/GTSM Listed Companies on March 31, 2011, UMC’s Articles of Incorporation were revised and revisions approved in the stockholders’ meeting held on June 15, 2011.

According to the regulation of Taiwan SFC, UMC is required to appropriate a special reserve in the amount equal to the sum of debit elements under stockholders’ equity, such as unrealized loss on financial instruments and negative cumulative translation adjustment, at every year-end. Such special reserve is prohibited from distribution. However, if any of the debit elements is reversed, the special reserve in the amount equal to the reversal may be released for earnings distribution or offsetting accumulated deficit.

During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the amounts of the employee bonus and remunerations to directors were estimated. The board of directors estimated the amount by taking into consideration of UMC’s Articles of Incorporation, government regulations and industry average. Estimated amount of employee bonus and remunerations paid to directors are charged to current income. If the board modified the estimates significantly in the subsequent periods, UMC will recognize the change as an adjustment to current income. Moreover, if the amounts were modified by the stockholders’ meeting in the following year, the adjustment will be regarded as a change in accounting estimate and will be reflected in the consolidated statement of income in the following year. Upon stockholders’ approval of the employee stock bonus, the distribution amount is determined by dividing the total approved bonus amount with the closing market price of the UMC’s stock one day prior to the approved date. Information about appropriations of the bonus to employees and directors can be obtained from the “Market Observation Post System” on the website of the TSE.

The distributions of cash dividend, employee bonus and directors’ remuneration for 2011 and 2010 were approved through the stockholders’ meeting held on June 12, 2012 and June 15, 2011, respectively. The details of distribution are as follows:

	2011	2010
Cash Dividend	NT$0.50 per share	NT$1.12 per share
Employee bonus – Cash (in thousand NTD)	1,618,217	2,476,611
Directors’ remuneration (in thousand NTD)	9,303	21,402

Employee bonus and directors’ remuneration for 2011 and 2010 which were approved through the stockholders’ meeting, were consistent with the resolutions of meeting of Board of Directors held on March 14, 2012 and March 16, 2011.

The aforementioned cash dividend for 2011 was adjusted to NT$0.49980232 per share due to the increase in outstanding common stock as a result of newly issued shares to settle employee stock options exercised. The distribution was approved through the Board of Directors’ meeting held on June 20, 2012.

The aforementioned cash dividend for 2010 was adjusted to NT$1.11164840 per share due to the increase in outstanding common stock as a result of newly issued shares to settle employee stock options exercised. The distribution was approved through the Board of Directors’ meeting held on July 8, 2011.

9. OTHERS

(1) Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company’s principal financial instruments, other than derivatives, are comprised of cash and cash equivalents, common stock, bonds, open-end funds, bank loans, and bonds payable. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to manage financing for the Company’s operations. The Company also holds various other financial assets and liabilities such as notes receivable, accounts receivable, notes payable and accounts payable, which arise directly from its operations.

UMC also enters into derivative transactions, including forward currency contracts. The purpose of these derivative transactions is to mitigate foreign currency exchange risks arising from UMC’s operations and financing activities.

The main risks arising from the Company’s financial instruments include cash flow interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, commodity price risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk.

Cash flow interest rate risk

The Company’s bank loans bear floating interest rates. The fluctuation of market interest will result in changes in the Company’s future cash flows.

Foreign currency risk

The Company has foreign currency risk arising from purchases or sales. The Company utilizes spot or forward contracts to avoid foreign currency risk. The notional amounts of the foreign currency contracts are the same as the amount of the hedged items. In principle, the Company does not carry out any forward contracts for uncertain commitments.

Commodity price risk

The Company's exposure to commodity price risk is minimal.

Credit risk

The Company only trades with established and creditworthy third parties. It is the Company's policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, note and accounts receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis, which consequently minimizes the Company's exposure to bad debts.

With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Company, it is comprised of cash and cash equivalents and certain derivative instruments, the Company's exposure to credit risk arising from the default of counter-parties is limited to the carrying amount of these instruments.

Although the Company only trades with established third parties, it will request collateral to be provided by third parties with less favorable financial positions.

Liquidity risk

The Company’s objective is to maintain a balance of funding continuity and flexibility through the use of financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, bank loans and bonds.

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

i. The book values of short-term financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. Short-term financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, restricted assets, short-term loans, payables and capacity deposits due within one year.

ii. The fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale financial assets are based on the quoted market prices. If there are restrictions on the sale or transfer of an available-for-sale financial asset, the fair value of the asset will be determined based on similar but unrestricted financial assets’ quoted market price with appropriate discounts for the restrictions.

iii. The fair value of long-term investments accounted for under equity method are based on the quoted market prices. If market prices are unavailable, the Company estimates the fair value based on the book values.

iv. The fair value of financial assets measured at cost and prepayment for long-term investments are unable to be estimated since there is no active market in trading those unlisted investments.

v. Deposits-out is certificates of deposit collateralized at Customs or other institutions. The fair value of deposits-out is based on their carrying amount since the deposit periods are primarily within one year and renewed upon maturity.

vi. The fair value of bonds payable is determined by the market price or other information.

vii. The fair value of long-term loans is determined using discounted cash flow analysis, based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for borrowings with similar types.

viii. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is based on the amount the Company expects to receive (positive) or to pay (negative) assuming that the contracts are settled in advance at the balance sheet date or is determined by the market price or other information.

c. The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments is determined by the quoted prices in active markets, or if the market for a financial instrument is not active, the Company establishes fair value by using a valuation technique:

d. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the total change in fair value estimated by using valuation techniques and recognized in the consolidated statement of income were a net loss of NT$403 million and a net gain of NT$975 million, respectively.

e. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, total interest revenues for financial assets or liabilities that are not at fair value through profit or loss were NT$168 million and NT$154 million, respectively, while interest expense for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were NT$555 million and NT$385 million, respectively.

(3) UMC entered into forward contracts for hedging the exchange rate risk arising from the net assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currency. UMC entered into these derivative financial instruments in connection with its hedging strategy to reduce the market risk of the hedged items, and these financial instruments were not held for trading purpose. The relevant information on the derivative financial instruments entered into by UMC is as follows:

a. The details of forward contracts entered into by UMC are summarized as follows:

Type		Notional Amount		Contract Period
Forward contracts		Sell USD 54 million		August 9, 2011 to October 19, 2011

b. Transaction risk

(a) Credit risk
There is no significant credit risk exposure with respect to the above transactions as the counter-parties are reputable financial institutions with good global standing.

(b) Liquidity and cash flow risk
The cash flow requirements on forward contracts are limited to the forward contract’s principal amount, which is the same as the underlying net assets or liabilities denominated in their foreign currencies at the settlement day. Therefore, no significant cash flow risk is anticipated since the working capital is sufficient to meet the cash flow requirements.

(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.

c. The presentation of derivative financial instruments in the financial statements is summarized as follows:

As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, the forward contracts were classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss amounted to NT$0, while the forward contracts were classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss amounted to NT$0 and NT$71 million, respectively.

b. The major differences and influences assessed by the Company between accounting policies under R.O.C. SFAS and future adopted IFRSs are summarized as below:

(a) The Company assesses the material differences in accounting polices based on the IFRSs as approved by the FSC and the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers expected to become effective in 2013.


Accounting Issue	Difference
Employee benefits	Under IFRSs, the Company elects as an accounting policy to recognize all actuarial gains and losses in the period in which they occur in other comprehensive income and then recognized immediately in retained earnings. In accordance with R.O.C. SFAS, actuarial gains and losses from each defined benefit plan shall be applied the corridor method and assessed to determine if there was any excess amount which to be recognized as current period gains or losses on each reporting date.

Investments in Associates	Under IFRSs, an investor shall discontinue the use of the equity method from the date when it ceases to have significant influence over an associate and shall account for as financial instrument under relevant standards. On the loss of significant influence, the investor shall measure at fair value any investment the investor retains in the former associate. The investor shall recognize in profit or loss any difference between: (a) the fair value of any retained investment and any proceeds from disposing of the part interest in the associate; and (b) the carrying amount of the investment at the date when significant influence is lost. Moreover, an investor shall derecognize for all additional paid-in capital and equity adjustment items related to the former associate to current profit and loss, the cash dividend received thereafter shall be treated as dividend income. In accordance with R.O.C. SFAS, an investor shall discontinue the use of the equity method from the date when it ceases to have significant influence over an associate. The new investment cost should be the carrying amount of the former associate on the loss of significant influence. The additional paid-in capital and other equity adjustment items related to the former associate should be proportionately derecognized to current profit and loss, and the difference between the carrying amount plus the equity adjustment items and the amount proceed from the disposal shall be recognized as the disposal gain or loss. Any cash dividends received after the loss of significant influence, should be treated as the recovery of investment cost if the accumulated dividend amount was greater than the investor’s holding interest in the former associate. Under R.O.C. SFAS, when the Company does not take up proportionately shares of its equity investee’s issuance of new shares, the change in equity in net assets for the investment shall be adjusted in the additional paid-in capital and the long-term investments accounts. However, in accordance with IFRSs, the investor should recognize as a disposal gain or loss transferred from other comprehensive income and other equity adjustment items proportionately related to the investment to the decrease in holding interest as a deemed disposal. For increase in shareholding (deemed acquisition), any difference between the cost of the investment and the investor’s share of the net fair value of the associate’s identifiable assets and liabilities is treated as goodwill and included in the carrying amount of the investment.
Business Combinations and Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements	In accordance with IFRSs, in a business combination achieved in stages, the acquirer shall remeasure its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at its acquisition-date fair value and recognize the resulting gain or loss, if any, in profit or loss or other comprehensive income, as appropriate. The acquirer shall recognize goodwill or gain on bargain purchase as of the acquisition date measured as the excess of (a) over (b) below: (a) the aggregate of: (i) the consideration transferred which generally is the fair value on acquisition date (ii) the fair value of acquiree's non-controlling interest, and (iii) in a business combination achieved in stages, the acquisition-date fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree. (b) the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed on acquisition date. In accordance with R.O.C. SFAS, goodwill is measured separately on each acquisition, and it excludes goodwill in non-controlling interest. In a step acquisition, the acquirer does not remeasure its previously held equity interest in the acquiree, therefore the acquisition would not result in gains or losses from remeasurements. In accordance with IFRSs, changes in a parent's ownership interest in a subsidiary which do not result in the loss of control is treated as an equity transaction. In accordance with R.O.C. SFAS, acquiring part of or all shares from subsidiaries’ minority stockholders, shall be accounted for using acquisition method. When selling long-term investments accounted for under equity method, the differences between selling price and carrying amount shall be recognized as gains or losses at disposal of long-term equity investment.
Financial Instruments	In accordance with IFRSs, an entity is precluded from measuring the financial asset at fair value if the range of reasonable fair value estimates is significant and the probabilities of the various estimates cannot be reasonably assessed. Prior to adoption of IFRSs, in accordance with Criteria Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuer, unlisted or emerging stock companies shall be classified as financial assets measured at cost. After adoption of IFRSs, unlisted and emerging stock companies will be reassessed in accordance with IFRSs and reclassified into available-for-sale financial assets or financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss, or held for trading.

Accounting Issue

Difference

Investments in Associates

Under IFRSs, an investor shall discontinue the use of the equity method from the date when it ceases to have significant influence over an associate and shall account for as financial instrument under relevant standards. On the loss of significant influence, the investor shall measure at fair value any investment the investor retains in the former associate. The investor shall recognize in profit or loss any difference between: (a) the fair value of any retained investment and any proceeds from disposing of the part interest in the associate; and (b) the carrying amount of the investment at the date when significant influence is lost. Moreover, an investor shall derecognize for all additional paid-in capital and equity adjustment items related to the former associate to current profit and loss, the cash dividend received thereafter shall be treated as dividend income.

In accordance with R.O.C. SFAS, an investor shall discontinue the use of the equity method from the date when it ceases to have significant influence over an associate. The new investment cost should be the carrying amount of the former associate on the loss of significant influence. The additional paid-in capital and other equity adjustment items related to the former associate should be proportionately derecognized to current profit and loss, and the difference between the carrying amount plus the equity adjustment items and the amount proceed from the disposal shall be recognized as the disposal gain or loss. Any cash dividends received after the loss of significant influence, should be treated as the recovery of investment cost if the accumulated dividend amount was greater than the investor’s holding interest in the former associate.

Under R.O.C. SFAS, when the Company does not take up proportionately shares of its equity investee’s issuance of new shares, the change in equity in net assets for the investment shall be adjusted in the additional paid-in capital and the long-term investments accounts. However, in accordance with IFRSs, the investor should recognize as a disposal gain or loss transferred from other comprehensive income and other equity adjustment items proportionately related to the investment to the decrease in holding interest as a deemed disposal. For increase in shareholding (deemed acquisition), any difference between the cost of the investment and the investor’s share of the net fair value of the associate’s identifiable assets and liabilities is treated as goodwill and included in the carrying amount of the investment.


Accounting Issue	Difference
Business Combinations and Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements	In accordance with IFRSs, in a business combination achieved in stages, the acquirer shall remeasure its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at its acquisition-date fair value and recognize the resulting gain or loss, if any, in profit or loss or other comprehensive income, as appropriate. The acquirer shall recognize goodwill or gain on bargain purchase as of the acquisition date measured as the excess of (a) over (b) below: (a) the aggregate of: (i) the consideration transferred which generally is the fair value on acquisition date (ii) the fair value of acquiree's non-controlling interest, and (iii) in a business combination achieved in stages, the acquisition-date fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree. (b) the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed on acquisition date. In accordance with R.O.C. SFAS, goodwill is measured separately on each acquisition, and it excludes goodwill in non-controlling interest. In a step acquisition, the acquirer does not remeasure its previously held equity interest in the acquiree, therefore the acquisition would not result in gains or losses from remeasurements. In accordance with IFRSs, changes in a parent's ownership interest in a subsidiary which do not result in the loss of control is treated as an equity transaction. In accordance with R.O.C. SFAS, acquiring part of or all shares from subsidiaries’ minority stockholders, shall be accounted for using acquisition method. When selling long-term investments accounted for under equity method, the differences between selling price and carrying amount shall be recognized as gains or losses at disposal of long-term equity investment.
Financial Instruments	In accordance with IFRSs, an entity is precluded from measuring the financial asset at fair value if the range of reasonable fair value estimates is significant and the probabilities of the various estimates cannot be reasonably assessed. Prior to adoption of IFRSs, in accordance with Criteria Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuer, unlisted or emerging stock companies shall be classified as financial assets measured at cost. After adoption of IFRSs, unlisted and emerging stock companies will be reassessed in accordance with IFRSs and reclassified into available-for-sale financial assets or financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss, or held for trading.

(b) The preliminary assessment on the quantitative impacts of the material differences between the existing accounting policies and the accounting policies to be adopted under IFRSs and the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers is as follows:

I. Reconciliation of the balance sheet as at January 1, 2012

Other non-current liabilities(f)、(g)	21,539,728	413,061	21,952,789
Total liabilities	67,706,783	1,051,534	68,758,317
Capital	130,844,556	-	130,844,556
Additional paid-in capital (a)、(f)、(g)	46,460,665	(100,746)	46,359,919
Retained earnings (a)、(b)、(c)、(e)、(f)、(g)	24,499,124	575,195	25,074,319
Other items in stockholders' equity (a)、(b)、(c)、(e)、(f)、(g)	12,156,099	(39,871)	12,116,228
Treasury stock	(6,223,357)	-	(6,223,357)
Minority interests/ Non-controlling interests	4,387,876	-	4,387,876
Stockholders' equity	212,124,963	434,578	212,559,541

(a). Under IFRSs, the Company reclassified non-current financial assets measured at cost to non-current available-for-sale financial assets measured at fair value. In addition, when the Company discontinues the use of the equity method because it ceases to have significant influence over an associate, the Company measures at fair value any investment it retains in the former associate as well as eliminate all additional paid-in capital and equity adjustment items related to the former associate in current profit and loss, or at the date of transition to IFRSs recognized in retained earnings. This change in accounting principles caused non-current available-for-sale financial assets to increase by NT$4,609 million, non-current financial assets measured at cost to decrease by NT$5,245 million, other non-current assets to decrease by NT$15 million, additional paid-in capital to decrease by NT$0.3 million, retained earnings to decrease by NT$538 million, and other adjusting items in stockholders' equity to decrease by NT$113 million.

(b). Under IFRS, the acquisition of a non-controlling interest is not within the scope of business combination, and therefore, it is not in the scope of exemptions for business combination in IFRS 1, “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”. As a result, a retroactive adjustment is required to adjust the differences for acquisitions of non-controlling interests prior to the transition date. This change in accounting principles would cause current assets to decrease by NT$6 million, property, plant and equipment, net to increase by NT$1,754 million, other non-current assets to increase by NT$36 million, retained earnings to increase by NT$1,694 million and other adjusting in stockholders' equity to increase by NT$90 million.

(c). Under R.O.C. SFAS, the Company‘s property that is leased to another entity is recorded as rental property under other non-current assets. Under IFRSs, the Company reclassified these assets from other non-current assets to property, plant and equipment as they do not meet the definition of investment property. In addition, prepayment for equipment is reclassified from property, plant and equipment to other non-current assets as they do not meet the definition of property, plant and equipment. This change in accounting principles would cause property, plant and equipment, net to decrease by NT$9,308 million, other non-current assets to increase by NT$9,308 million while other adjustments would cause property, plant and equipment, net to increase by NT$92 million, other non-current assets decrease by NT$62 million, retained earnings to increase by NT$29 million and other adjusting in stockholders’ equity to increase by NT$2 million.

(d). Software, patent licenses and intellectual property are reclassified as intangible assets as it met the definition of intangible assets. This change would cause intangible assets to increase by NT$1,433 million and other non-current assets to decrease by NT$1,433 million. The land use rights of a subsidiary are reclassified to other noncurrent assets as they meet the definition of long-term operating lease since the ownership do not belong to the subsidiary. This would cause intangible assets to decrease by NT$300 million and other non-current assets to increase by NT$300 million.

(e). The Company elects exemption for employee benefits under the IFRS 1, “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”, and recognizes all unrecognized actuarial gains and losses in retained earnings. The exemption election for employee benefits would cause the accrued pension liabilities to increase by NT$705 million and retained earnings to decrease by NT$686 million, and decrease other adjusting items in stockholders’ equity by NT$19 million.

(f). Under the requirements of IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”, deferred tax assets or liabilities are classified as non-current. Therefore, deferred tax assets or liabilities, current, are reclassified as non-current. Under the requirements of IAS 12, an entity shall offset deferred tax assets and liabilities if, and only if, the entity has a legally enforceable right to set off the current tax assets and liabilities; and if the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes raised by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax are expected to be settled or recovered, to settle their current tax assets and liabilities either on a net basis or simultaneously. Under the requirements of IAS 12, if the tax base of the liability component of the compound financial instrument on initial recognition is equal to the initial carrying amount of the sum of the liability and equity components, the resulting taxable temporary differences should be recognized as deferred tax liability. The deferred tax is charged directly to the carrying amount of the equity component and subsequent changes in the deferred tax liability are recognized in profit or loss as deferred tax expense (income). Due to differences discussed above, current assets decreased by NT$298 million, other non-current assets increased by NT$656 million, current liabilities decreased by NT$33 million, other non-current liabilities increased by NT$380 million, addition paid-in capital decreased by NT$101 million, retained earnings increased by NT$106 million and other adjusting items in stockholders' equity increased by NT$6 million.

(g). Other adjustments would cause other non-current assets to decrease by NT$36 million, current liabilities to decrease by NT$33 million, other non-current liabilities to increase by NT$33 million, retained earnings to decrease by NT$30 million, additional paid-in capital to increase by NT$0.4 million and other adjusting items in stockholders’ equity to decrease by NT$6 million.

(a). Under IFRSs, the Company reclassified non-current financial assets measured at cost to non-current available-for-sale financial assets measured at fair value. In addition, when the Company discontinues the use of the equity method because it ceases to have significant influence over an associate, the Company measures at fair value any investment the it retains in the former associate as well as eliminates all additional paid-in capital and equity adjustment items related to the former associate in current profit and loss, or at the date of transition to IFRSs recognized immediately in retained earnings. This change in accounting principles caused non-current available-for-sale financial assets to increase by NT$5,303 million, non-current financial assets measured at cost to decrease by NT$5,403 million, additional paid-in capital to decrease by NT$8 million, retained earnings to decrease by NT$820 million, and other adjusting items in stockholders’ equity to increase by NT$728 million.

(b). Under IFRS, the acquisition of a non-controlling interest is not within the scope of business combination, and therefore, it is not in the scope of exemptions for business combination in IFRS 1, “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”. As a result, a retroactive adjustment is required to adjust the differences for acquisitions of non-controlling interests prior to the transition date. This change in accounting principles would cause current assets to decrease by NT$5 million, property, plant and equipment, net to increase by NT$916 million, other non-current assets to increase by NT$31 million, retained earnings to increase by NT$911 million and other adjusting in stockholders’ equity to increase by NT$31 million.

(c). Under R.O.C. SFAS, the Company’s property that is leased to another entity is recorded as rental property under other non-current assets. Under IFRSs, the Company reclassified these assets from other non-current assets to property, plant and equipment as it does not meet the definition of investment property. In addition, prepayment for equipment is reclassified from property, plant and equipment to other non-current assets as they do not meet the definition of property, plant and equipment. This change in accounting principles would cause property, plant and equipment, net to increase by NT$356 million, other non-current assets to decrease by NT$356 million while other adjustments would cause property, plant and equipment, net to increase by NT$67 million, other non-current assets decrease by NT$60 million, retained earnings to increase by NT$7 million and other adjusting in stockholders’ equity to increase by NT$0.5 million.

(e). The Company elects the exemption for employee benefits under IFRS 1,“First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”, and recognizes all unrecognized actuarial gains and losses in retained earnings. The exemption election for employee benefits would cause the accrued pension liabilities to increase by NT$672 million and retained earnings to decrease by NT$663 million, and other adjusting items in stockholders' equity to decrease by NT$9 million.

(f). Under the requirements of IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”, deferred tax assets or liabilities are classified as non-current. Therefore, deferred tax assets or liabilities, current, are reclassified as non-current. Under the requirements of IAS 12, an entity shall offset deferred tax assets and liabilities if, and only if, the entity has a legally enforceable right to set off the current tax assets and liabilities; and if the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes raised by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax are expected to be settled or recovered, to settle their current tax assets and liabilities either on a net basis or simultaneously. Under the requirements of IAS 12, if the tax base of the liability component of the compound financial instrument on initial recognition is equal to the initial carrying amount of the sum of the liability and equity components, the resulting taxable temporary differences should be recognized as deferred tax liability. The deferred tax is charged directly to the carrying amount of the equity component and subsequent changes in the deferred tax liability are recognized in profit or loss as deferred tax expense (income). Due to differences discussed above, current assets decreased by NT$468 million, other non-current assets increased by NT$1,853 million, current liabilities decreased by NT$27 million, other non-current liabilities increased by NT$1,508 million, addition paid-in capital decreased by NT$101 million, retained earnings increased by NT$56 million and other adjusting items in stockholders’ equity decreased by NT$52 million.

(g). The Company decreased its equity interests in a foreign operation through capital reduction and return of capital, the differences of the accumulated currency translation adjustments before and after the capital reduction is recognize in profit or loss under R.O.C. SFAS. Under IAS 21, as the entity did not lose control, significant influence or joint control over its foreign operation, it is not considered a partial disposal. Accordingly, none of the accumulated currency transaction adjustments was reclassified to profit or loss. This difference result in an increase in adjusting items in stockholders’ equity by NT$233 million and a decrease of retained earnings by NT$233 million.

(h). Other adjustments would cause non-current available-for-sale financial assets to increase by NT$8 million, non-current financial assets measured at cost to increase by NT$2 million, other non-current assets to decrease by NT$12 million, addition paid-in capital to increase by NT$8 million, retained earnings to increase by NT$106 million and other adjusting items in stockholders’ equity to decrease by NT$117 million.

III Reconciliation of the income statement for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012:

Non-operating income and expenses (a)、(b)、(c)	2,664,669	1,480,012	4,144,681

Net income	5,129,767	(1,303,881)	3,825,886

(a). Under IFRS, the acquisition of a non-controlling interest is not within the scope of business combination, and therefore, it is not in the scope of exemptions for business combination in IFRS 1, “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”. As a result, a retroactive adjustment is required to adjust the differences for acquisitions of non-controlling interests prior to the transition date. This would cause cost of goods sold to increase by NT$68 million, operating expenses to increase by NT$2 million and non-operating income to decrease by NT$714 million.

(b). The Company decreased its equity interests in a foreign operation through capital reduction and return of capital, the differences of the accumulated currency translation adjustments before and after the capital reduction is recognize in profit or loss under R.O.C. SFAS. Under IAS 21, as the entity did not lose control, significant influence or joint control over its foreign operation, it is not considered a partial disposal. Accordingly, none of the accumulated currency transaction adjustments was reclassified to profit or loss. This difference resulted in a decrease in non-operating income by NT$233 million.

(c). Other adjustments would cause cost of goods sold to increase by NT$22 million, operating expenses to decrease by NT$23 million, other operating expenses to increase by NT$2,666 million, non-operating income to increase by NT$2,427 million and income tax expense to increase by NT$49 million.

c. According to the requirements under IFRS 1, “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”, the Company prepares its first IFRS financial statements based on the effective IFRS standards and makes adjustments retrospectively, except for the optional exemptions provided and mandatory exceptions required under IFRS 1. The optional exemptions selected by the Company are as follows:

(a) IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” has not been applied to acquisitions of subsidiaries or of interests in associates and joint ventures, that occurred before December 31, 2011. Applying this exemption would result in the carrying amount of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination in accordance with previous GAAP, which are required to be recognized under IFRS, to be their deemed costs in accordance with IFRSs as at the date of acquisition. Subsequent to the date of acquisition, the assets and liabilities would be measured in accordance with IFRSs. The carrying amount of goodwill in the opening IFRS Balance Sheet is its carrying amount in accordance with previous GAAP at December 31, 2011, after testing for impairments and adjusting for recognition or de-recognition of intangibles under IFRS 1.

(b) The Company has recognized all cumulative actuarial gains and losses directly to retained earnings as at January 1, 2012.

d. The major differences described above are determined in accordance with the Traditional Chinese version of IFRSs approved and published by FSC in 2010. As to the additional IFRSs published by International Accounting Standards Board after 2011, adjustments will be included, following effective dates announced by the FSC, if any.

10. Operating Segment Information

The Company determined its operating segments based on business activities with discrete financial information regularly reported through the Company’s internal reporting protocols to the Company’s chief operating decision maker. The Company is organized into business units based on its products and services. As of September 30, 2012, only the wafer fabrication operating segment exceeded the quantitative threshold to become a reportable segment. The primary service of the wafer fabrication segment is the manufacture of chips to the design specifications of our many customers by using our own proprietary processes and techniques. The company maintains a diversified customer base across industries, including communication, consumer electronics, computer, memory and others, while continuing to focus on manufacturing for high growth, large volume applications, including networking, telecommunications, internet, multimedia, PCs and graphics. The company also had other operating segments that did not exceed the quantitative threshold. These segments primarily engage in researching, developing, manufacturing, and providing solar energy and new generation light-emitting diode (LED) sectors.
