ITEM 12. DISCLOSURE OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.

The purpose of this Form 8-K/A is to amend our Form 8-K filed on April 27, 2004. The information provided in this Form 8-K report is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically stated so therein.

On April 27, 2004, Amkor announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and certain other information. Subsequently, on May 5, 2004, Amkor announced that it reached resolution with Koninklijke Philips Electronics (“Philips”) on pending litigation involving allegedly defective epoxy mold compound manufactured by Sumitomo Bakelite (“Sumitomo”). This resolution was reached on April 29, 2004. Amkor has agreed to pay Philips $1.5 million plus a contingent amount ranging between $0.0 and $2.0 million based on the resolution of Philips’ claims against Sumitomo. The trial of Philips’ claims against Sumitomo is scheduled to start on August 2, 2004.

In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, Amkor is revising its previously announced earnings for its first quarter ended March 31, 2004 by recording the $1.5 million payment to Philips as a pre-tax charge for such quarter, as reflected in Amkor’s Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 5, 2005. As a result of this charge, Amkor’s net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 is $10.9 million, or $0.06 per share, compared with $12.2 million, or $0.07 per share, as reported on April 27, 2004.

DRAFT – NOT FOR RELEASE

Amkor Resolves Outstanding Mold Compound Dispute with Philips

CHANDLER, Ariz., May 5, 2002 — Amkor Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMKR) today announced that on April 29, 2004 it reached resolution with Koninklijke Philips Electronics (“Philips”) on pending litigation involving allegedly defective epoxy mold compound manufactured by Sumitomo Bakelite (“Sumitomo”). Amkor has agreed to pay Philips $1.5 million plus a contingent amount ranging between $0.0 and $2.0 million based on the resolution of Philips’ claims against Sumitomo. The trial of Philips’ claims against Sumitomo is scheduled to start on August 2, 2004.

In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, Amkor is revising its previously announced earnings for its first quarter ended March 31, 2004 by recording the $1.5 million payment to Philips as a pre-tax charge for such quarter, which will be included in Amkor’s Report on Form 10-Q being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission today. As a result of this charge, Amkor’s net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 is $11 million, or $0.06 per share, compared with $12 million, or $0.07 per share, as reported on April 27, 2004.

“We view this resolution in a very positive light and believe that it compares favorably to the legal expenses we would likely incur in continuing to defend against Philips’ claims,” said Ken Joyce, Amkor’s chief financial officer. “Philips is one of five cases related to the mold compound, and we will continue to incur legal expenses in regard to those other cases. Nonetheless, we believe the resolution with Philips is a favorable development in this litigation.”
