ITEM 5.    OTHER EVENTS.

      On August 21, 2002 we issued a press release (attached hereto as Exhibit
99.1) confirming that Texas Instruments, Dongbu and Anam Semiconductor, Inc.
"ASI" have been unable to come to terms on a letter of intent regarding
technology transfer and manufacturing / purchase agreements. The execution of
this letter of intent was a condition precedent to the shareholders agreement
between Amkor and Dongbu, under which Dongbu agreed to purchase 20 million
shares of ASI's common stock from Amkor. Amkor and Dongbu are in continued
discussions to explore ways in which the share purchase transaction may still be
completed.
