STATS CHIPPAC LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2005
(Unaudited)

 
Note 1:   Interim Statements
     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In the opinion of management of STATS ChipPAC Ltd. (“STATS ChipPAC” or the “Company,” or “STATS” prior to the consummation of the merger), the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial information included therein. This financial data should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2004 included in STATS ChipPAC’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 20-F. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of STATS ChipPAC and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
     The Company predominantly utilizes the U.S. dollar as its functional currency. The Company’s Taiwan subsidiary, Winstek Semiconductor Corporation (“Winstek”), designates the New Taiwan Dollar as its functional currency. Where the functional currency is other than the Company’s U.S. dollar reporting currency, it is translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the period end for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates for the reporting period for the results of operations. Adjustments resulting from translation of such foreign subsidiary financial statements are reported within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which is reflected as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.
     On August 5, 2004, STATS and ChipPAC, Inc. (“ChipPAC”) consummated the merger and ChipPAC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of STATS. In the merger, former ChipPAC stockholders received 0.87 American Depositary Shares of STATS for each share of ChipPAC Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “ChipPAC Class A common stock”), owned by such stockholder. Upon consummation of the merger, STATS’ and ChipPAC’s former shareholders owned approximately 56% and 44%, respectively, of the Company’s total shares outstanding. Subsequent to the merger, STATS was renamed STATS ChipPAC Ltd. Following the consummation of the merger, the financial results of STATS ChipPAC for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 reflect the financial results of combined company. The financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 reflect the financial results of STATS for the full periods and the financial results of ChipPAC from August 5, 2004.
     On January 20, 2005, STATS ChipPAC, Inc. (formerly known as ST Assembly Test Services, Inc.) was merged into ChipPAC. The surviving entity was renamed STATS ChipPAC, Inc.
     On July 27, 2005, the Company’s Taiwan subsidiary, Winstek, issued 10,555,556 shares of its capital stock, par value NT$10, in a public offering at an offering price of NT$12.80 per share, resulting in the dilution of the Company’s interest in Winstek from 54.5% to 52.3%. The shares of Winstek are listed on the Taiwan over-the-counter securities market. The Company recognized the gain of $0.07 million on the dilution of interest within shareholders’ equity.
     The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for any other period or the fiscal year that ends on the Sunday nearest to December 31. The interim period ended on September 25, 2005, the Sunday nearest to September 30. For presentation purposes, our interim period has been presented as ending on September 30.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on recognition and measurement guidance previously discussed under EITF Issue No. 03-01, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” (“EITF 03-01”). The consensus clarifies the meaning of other-than-temporary impairment and its application to investments in debt and equity securities, in particular investments within the scope of SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” and investments accounted for under the cost method. This consensus is to be applied to

 


 

other-than-temporary impairment evaluations in reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004. In September 2004, the FASB issued FSP EITF Issue 03-1-1, “Effective Date of Paragraphs 10-20 of EITF 03-1, The Meaning of Other Than Temporary Impairment,” delaying the effective date for the recognition and measurement guidance of EITF 03-1, as contained in paragraphs 10-20, until certain implementation issues are addressed and a final FSP providing implementation guidance is issued. Adoption of EITF 03-01 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows and results of operations.
     In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (“SFAS No. 151”). SFAS 151 requires certain abnormal expenditures to be recognized as expenses in the current period. It also requires that the amount of fixed production overhead allocated to inventory be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The standard is effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2006. It is not expected that SFAS No. 151 will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
     In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”). This statement revises SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” amends SFAS No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows,” and supersedes APB No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS No. 123(R) requires companies to apply a fair-value based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees and to record compensation expense for all stock awards granted, and to awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after the required effective date. In addition, the Company is required to record compensation expense (as previous awards continue to vest) for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption. SFAS No. 123(R) will be effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005, which is the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company presently accounts for stock-based compensation under the intrinsic method as further discussed below.
     In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission released SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment (“SAB No. 107”). SAB No. 107 provides the SEC staff position regarding the application of SFAS No. 123(R). SAB No. 107 contains interpretive guidance related to the interaction between SFAS No. 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations, as well as provides the staff’s views regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies. SAB No. 107 also highlights the importance of disclosures made related to the accounting for share-based payment transactions. The Company is currently reviewing the requirements of
SFAS No. 123(R) and SAB No. 107 and expects that the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and earnings per share.
     In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS No. 154”). SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle. It also requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings for that period rather than being reported in an income statement. The statement will be effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 154 on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations but does not expect it to have a material impact.
Stock-Based Compensation
     The Company’s employee stock option plan and employee stock purchase plan are accounted for in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations and comply with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”) and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Transition and Disclosure.
     In August 2004, the Company adopted an employee share purchase plan (“ESPP”) for the benefit of its employees. The ESPP qualifies in the United States of America under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the ESPP, substantially all employees may purchase the Company’s ordinary shares through periodic payroll deductions or lump sum payments at a price equal to 85.0% of the lower of the fair market value at the beginning or the end of the specified six-month offering period commencing on each February 15 and August 16, except for the first purchase period which commenced on September 1, 2004 and ended on February 14, 2005. Share purchases are limited to 15.0% of an employee’s eligible compensation. During the

 


 

three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, a total of 9,041,130 and 13,812,130 of ordinary shares at a weighted average price of $0.52 and $0.53 per share, were issued through the ESPP. This is equivalent to 904,113 and 1,381,213 ADS at a weighted average price of $5.18 and $5.33 per ADS. The estimated weighted average fair value of the ESPP during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 was approximately $0.16 per share in each period, respectively.
     If compensation expense had been determined based on the grant date fair value for awards, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net loss and loss per share would have been adjusted to the pro forma amounts indicated below (in thousands, except per ordinary share and per ADS data):

Hedging Instruments
     The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 133”), as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities” and as further amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” The Company records derivative financial instruments in the consolidated financial statements at fair value. Changes in fair values of derivative financial instruments are either recognized in earnings or in shareholders’ equity as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) depending on whether the derivative financial instrument qualifies for hedge accounting as defined by SFAS No. 133. Changes in fair value of derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting are recorded in shareholders’ equity as a component of other comprehensive income (loss), and are reclassified to the income statement in the same period when hedged transactions are recognized in earnings. Changes in fair values of derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting are reported in earnings as they occur.
     The Company has a series of foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the operating expenses denominated in Singapore Dollars, South Korean Won and Malaysia Ringgit in order to limit the fluctuations in these foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. Dollar. All forward contracts qualify for hedge accounting as defined by SFAS No. 133. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, the settlement of the foreign currency forward contracts resulted in an aggregate realized gain of $0.2 million and $3.1 million, respectively. In the three months ended June 30, 2005, the Company had entered into a series of gold forward contracts with total contract value of approximately $7 million. The purpose of the forward contract was to hedge the Company’s monthly requirements for gold wire in order to limit the fluctuations in gold prices. The settlement of gold forward contracts resulted in an aggregate realized gain of $0.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005. At September 30, 2005, the total value of forward contracts amounted to approximately $68 million. At September 30, 2005, the Company recorded an aggregate unrealized loss of $0.2 million related to foreign currency forward contracts in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Note 4:   Earnings Per Share
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” requires a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted per share computations. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing net income (loss) available to shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of ordinary shares and all potentially dilutive ordinary shares outstanding during the period. In computing diluted EPS, the average ordinary share price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased with the proceeds from the exercise of stock options and the if-converted method is used for determining the number of shares assumed issued from the conversion of the convertible notes. The if-converted method is performed on each convertible note independently to determine the dilutive or anti-dilutive effect of the convertible note. The if-converted method adds back to the net income or loss the associated debt issuance amortization and interest expense, net of tax effect and divides the resulting adjusted net income or loss by the total weighted average number of ordinary shares including the potentially dilutive ordinary shares assumed by conversion of the convertible note.
     For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company excluded certain potentially dilutive securities for each period presented from its diluted net income (loss) per share computation because either the exercise price of the securities exceeded the average fair value of the Company’s ordinary shares or the Company had net loss for the period, and therefore these securities were anti-dilutive.
     A summary of the excluded potentially dilutive securities outstanding as of September 30, 2004 and 2005 follows (in thousands):

Note 5:   Contingent Liabilities
     In connection with the merger with ChipPAC, the Company assumed certain contingent liabilities. In 2002, an assessment of approximately 16.0 billion South Korean Won (approximately $15.3 million at September 30, 2005) was made by the South Korean National Tax Service (“NTS”), relating to withholding tax not collected on the interest income on the loan between the ChipPAC’s subsidiaries in South Korea and Hungary for the period from 1999 to September 2001. The prevailing tax treaty does not require withholding on the transactions in question. ChipPAC has appealed the assessment through the NTS’s Mutual Agreement Procedure (“MAP”) and believes that the assessment will be overturned. On July 18, 2002, the Icheon tax office of the NTS approved a suspension of the proposed assessment until resolution of the disputed assessment. The NTS required a corporate guarantee amounting to the tax assessment in exchange for the suspension. ChipPAC complied with the guarantee request on July 10, 2002. A further assessment of 2.7 billion South Korean Won (approximately $2.6 million at September 30, 2005) was made on January 9, 2004, for the interest from October 2001 to May 2002. ChipPAC has applied for the MAP and obtained an approval for a suspension of the proposed assessment by providing a corporate guarantee amounting to the additional taxes. In the event that the Company is not successful with the appeal, the maximum amount payable including potential interest and local surtax is estimated to be 28.2 billion South Korean Won (approximately $27.1 million at September 30, 2005). The Company does not believe that the outcome of the resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As of September 30, 2005, no accrual has been made. However, the Company’s evaluation of the likely impact of the above contingent liabilities could change in the future and may result in additional liability assumed in the initial purchase of ChipPAC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     All references to “our,” “STATS ChipPAC,” the “Company” or “STATS” prior to the consummation of the merger are to STATS ChipPAC Ltd. and its consolidated subsidiaries. References to “U.S. GAAP” are to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and references to “$” are to the lawful currency of the United States of America. The noon buying rate in The City of New York on September 30, 2005 was 1,042.40 South Korean Won per $1.00 for cable transfers in South Korean Won, as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. For your convenience, unless otherwise indicated, certain South Korean Won amounts have been translated into U.S. dollar amounts, based on this exchange rate.
Overview
     STATS ChipPAC is a leading service provider of semiconductor packaging design, assembly, test and distribution solutions. We have the scale to provide a comprehensive range of semiconductor packaging and test solutions to a diversified global customer base servicing the computing, communications, consumer, automotive and industrial markets.
     In August 2004, we completed the merger with ChipPAC, Inc. which resulted in ChipPAC, Inc. becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of STATS. In the merger, former ChipPAC stockholders received 0.87 American Depositary Shares of STATS for each share of ChipPAC Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “ChipPAC Class A common stock”), owned by such stockholder. Upon consummation of the merger, STATS’ and ChipPAC’s former shareholders owned approximately 56% and 44%, respectively, of our total shares outstanding. Subsequent to the merger, STATS was renamed STATS ChipPAC Ltd. The financial results of the combined company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 reflect those of STATS and ChipPAC and the financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 reflect the financial results of STATS for the full periods and the financial result of ChipPAC from August 5, 2004. As a result, changes in our operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared with the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 are due generally to the acquisition of ChipPAC and the inclusion of ChipPAC’s operating results from August 5, 2004. Further, because ChipPAC’s operating results have not been included for the periods prior to August 5, 2004, and in any case for the reasons mentioned in “Item 3.D. Risk Factors — Our operating results have fluctuated, and may continue to fluctuate, from quarter to quarter, which may make it difficult to predict our future performance” and elsewhere in our annual report on Form 20-F dated March 18, 2005, the Registration Statement on Form F-4 (file number 333-128061) and Registration Statement on Form S-3/F-3 (file numbers 333-119705 and 333-119705-1), the period-to-period comparisons of our operating results are not meaningful and you should not use such comparisons to predict our future performance.
Results of Operations
Three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to three and nine months ended September 30, 2004
     Revenues. We derive revenues primarily from test and packaging of array and leaded packages. Net revenues were $301.3 million and $799.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, an increase of 29.9% and 58.9% compared to $232.0 million and $503.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. The increase was mainly from ChipPAC’s operations which were consolidated since August 5, 2004. Effective from our merger, revenue attributable to ChipPAC’s operations has had a relatively larger impact on our packaging revenues than on our test revenues.
     Our packaging revenue in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased 42.4% and 101.1% to $218.4 million and $575.6 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2004. Unit volumes of our total packaging were 5% higher than in the prior quarter and increased 32.5%, or $93.4 million, and 133.3%, or $321.1 million, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2004. We experienced increased demand for our 3-D packaging, Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array and Plastic Ball Grid Array packaging in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005. The average selling prices for our services have generally declined over product life cycles. Average selling prices per pin for packaging services for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 decreased 11.6%, or

 


 

$28.4 million, and 5.3%, or $31.7 million, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, due primarily to changes in product mix. Test revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased 5.5% and 3.3% to $82.9 million and $224.1 million, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004. Our increase in test revenue from our acquisition of ChipPAC was partially offset by declining average selling prices.
     For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, revenues from the communications market decreased by 1.1% and 7.2% over the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, and contributed 56.5% and 54.9% of our revenues in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, as compared to 57.6% and 62.1% of our revenues in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. The revenue from the communications market remained relatively strong with continued demand for more complex, higher functionality mobile phone and infrastructure products. Revenue from personal computers market in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 decreased by 3.2% and 0.7% as compared to the same periods in 2004, and contributed 18.3% and 21.8% of our revenues in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, as compared to 21.5% and 22.5% of our revenues in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004. We expect to continue to be dependent on the communications and personal computer markets for a substantial portion of our revenues.
     Gross Profit. Gross profit was $50.7 million and $110.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, an increase of $12.3 million and $27.5 million as compared to $38.4 million and $83.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 16.8% and 13.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, as compared to 16.5% and 16.6% in the same periods in 2004. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, gross profit decreased primarily as a result of lower overall average selling prices, changes in product mix, and increase in cost of materials, partially offset by higher equipment utilization, depreciation savings from the change in equipment useful lives commencing in the third quarter of 2004 and continued cost control measures, including a reduction in work force. Overall equipment utilization was approximately 75% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to approximately 70% in the corresponding period in 2004 and approximately 71% in the preceding three months ended June 30, 2005. We continued to see pressure to reduce average selling prices during the three months ended September 30, 2005. Our cost of revenues consists principally of fixed costs such as depreciation and leasing expenses and variable costs such as direct and indirect labor, materials and overhead expenses. We continue to experience higher cost as a result of external global economic factors such as higher substrate, gold and oil prices which affected our cost of materials and the adverse effect of the strengthening of the Singapore dollar and South Korean won against the U.S. dollar when compared to the same period in 2004.
     Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $34.0 million and $100.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, an increase of 20.3% and 99.4% as compared to $28.3 million and $50.2 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were 11.3% and 12.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, compared to 12.2% and 10.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due primarily to the higher headcount resulting from our merger with ChipPAC and the inclusion of merger and integration expenses and ChipPAC expenses which amounted to approximately $28.2 million and $84.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. The merger and integration expenses and ChipPAC expenses included the amortization of the intangible assets which amounted to $12.7 million and $38.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, and stock-based compensation expenses of $0.1 million and $0.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, resulting mainly from the expensing of the unearned compensation on unvested options recorded in the ChipPAC acquisition. The increase was partially offset by continued measures to control costs and manage discretionary expenses in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the same periods in 2004.
     Research and Development. Research and development expenses were $6.2 million and $18.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to $5.8 million and $11.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $0.4 million and $6.9 million, respectively. Research and development expenses had increased due primarily to the inclusion of ChipPAC expenses which amounted to $5.3 million and $13.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, inclusive of the amortization of the acquired intangible assets which amounted to $0.8 million and $2.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. However, these expenses

 


 

were partially offset by depreciation savings from the change in equipment useful lives and continued measures to control costs and manage discretionary expenses.
     Restructuring Charges. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, certain restructuring plans were executed to realign our organization and reduce operating costs to better align our expenses with revenues. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, we had a total reduction in workforce of 88 employees related to the restructuring. Severance and related charges of $0.8 million were expensed in the three months ended March 31, 2005. There were no restructuring charges incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005 or the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004.
     Net Interest Income (Expense). Net interest expense was $9.1 million and $26.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, as compared to $8.4 million and $15.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. Net interest expense consisted of interest income of $1.8 million and $4.2 million and interest expense of $11.0 million and $31.1 million in the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2005, respectively, as compared to interest income of $1.4 million and $3.7 million and interest expense of $9.8 million and $19.0 million in the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2004, respectively. The increase in interest expense was due primarily to interest on debts assumed as a result of our merger with ChipPAC, and our accrued interest on the $215.0 million 6.75% senior notes due 2011 issued in November 2004, the $150.0 million 7.5% senior notes due 2010 issued in July 2005, increase in foreign loans of $8.5 million in Korea and the $99.0 million short-term debts which were borrowed and repaid during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This increase was partially offset by the reduction in interest expense as a result of our redemption and repurchase of $168.5 million (out of $200.0 million) aggregate principal amount of our 1.75% convertible notes due 2007 and repayment of long-term debts in Korea and Taiwan. Total outstanding interest-bearing debt was $817.9 million and $802.2 million as of September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
     Foreign Currency Exchange Gain (Loss). Net foreign currency exchange gain or (loss) was $0.9 million and $0.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, as compared to net foreign currency exchange gain or (loss) of $0.2 million and $(0.1) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. These non-cash losses and gains were due primarily to the fluctuations between the exchange rate of the U.S. Dollar and the Singapore Dollar, the South Korean Won and the Japanese Yen.
     Other Non-Operating Income (Expense), Net. Net other non-operating income or (expense) was $0.2 million and $(1.2) million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, as compared to net other non-operating expense of $(0.4) million and $(0.8) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. The increase in other non-operating expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 resulted from the write-off of capitalized debt issuance cost of $1.7 million from the repurchase and redemption of our 1.75% convertible notes due 2007 during the period.
     Income Taxes. We have recorded a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount we believe is more likely than not to be realized. In the event that deferred tax assets would be realizable in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such determination was made. We have a mix of tax rates across the various jurisdictions in which we do business. Our primary tax jurisdictions are Singapore, South Korea, China, Malaysia, Taiwan and the United States of America. Our consolidated income taxes were $1.2 million and $3.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, as compared to $1.7 million and $2.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     Our principal source of liquidity as of September 30, 2005 consisted of $253.4 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Our liquidity needs arise primarily from servicing our outstanding debts, working capital needs and the funding of capital expenditures. Our capital expenditures are largely driven by the demand for our services, primarily to increase our packaging and testing capacity and to replace packaging and testing equipment from time to time. We expect this to be about $300.0 million in 2005 as our capital expenditure spending continues to be targeted at demand that we see from our customers. We spent

 


 

$172.0 million on capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $212.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
Total Borrowings
     As of September 30, 2005, our total debt outstanding consisted of $817.9 million of borrowings, which included $150.0 million of 7.5% senior notes due 2010, $215.0 million of 6.75% senior notes due 2011, $31.5 million of 1.75% convertible notes due 2007, $115.0 million of zero coupon convertible notes due 2008, $50.0 million of 8.0% convertible subordinated notes due 2011, $150.0 million of 2.5% convertible subordinated notes due 2008, and other long-and short-term borrowings.
     On January 14, 2005, we repurchased an additional $26.1 million aggregate principal amount of the 1.75% convertible notes due 2007 with our existing cash on hand. On March 18, 2005, we redeemed $125.9 million aggregate principal amount of our 1.75% convertible notes due 2007 pursuant to demands for redemption from note holders in accordance with the indenture governing our 1.75% convertible notes due 2007. We paid a total amount of $138.6 million (excluding interest) in respect of the redeemed convertible notes. We financed the redemption from cash and short-term borrowings.
     On March 17, 2005, we drew down a total of $99.0 million under our lines of credit with Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited and Bank of America N.A. to pay part of the purchase price for the redemption of the 1.75% convertible notes due 2007 described above. On July 20, 2005, we repaid the Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited and Bank of America N.A. facilities with proceeds from the offering of the 7.5% senior notes due 2010 described below.
     On April 18, 2005, our registration statement for our exchange offer relating to our 6.75% senior notes due 2011 was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Pursuant to the exchange offer, we accepted tenders to exchange $213.9 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.75% senior notes due 2011 that were registered for a like principal amount of our then outstanding unregistered 6.75% senior notes due 2011.
     On July 19, 2005, we offered $150.0 million of 7.5% senior notes due 2010 in a private placement. We received approximately $146.6 million after deducting debt issuance costs. A portion of the net proceeds were used to repay the $99.0 million outstanding with Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited and Bank of America N.A. We intend to use the remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes and pending such use, we have invested the proceeds in short-term investments. In September 2005, the Company filed an exchange offer registration statement with the SEC. Pursuant to the exchange offer, we accepted tenders to exchange $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 7.5% senior notes due 2010 that were registered for a like principal amount of our then outstanding unregistered 7.5% senior notes due 2010.
Current and Expected Liquidity
     As of September 30, 2005, we had available lines of credit and banking facilities consisting of loans, letter of credits and bank guarantees, including those available to our consolidated subsidiaries, amounting to an aggregate of $312.9 million, of which $125.4 million was utilized. We believe that our cash on hand, existing credit facilities and anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our currently anticipated capital requirements, as well as capital lease and debt service repayment obligations for the next twelve months.
     If our capital requirements exceed our expectations as a result of higher than anticipated growth in the semiconductor industry, acquisition or investment opportunities, the expansion of our business or otherwise, or if our cash flows from operations are lower than anticipated, including as a result of an unexpected decrease in demand for our services due to a downturn in the semiconductor industry or otherwise, we may be required to obtain additional debt or equity financing from time to time depending on prevailing market conditions. In such events, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available or, if available, that such financings will be obtained on terms favorable to us or that any additional financing will not be dilutive to our shareholders or creditors.
     We will continue to be exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates and interest rates and we may continue to employ derivative instruments such as forward foreign currency swaps, foreign currency contracts and options and interest rate swaps to manage our foreign exchange and interest rate exposures.

 


 

Special Tax Status
     We were previously granted pioneer status under The Economic Expansion Incentives (Relief from Income Tax) Act, Chapter 86 of Singapore, for “Subcontract Assembly And Testing Of Integrated Circuits Including Wafer Probing Services”. In December 2003, an application was submitted to the Singapore Economic Development Board (“EDB”) to revoke our pioneer status granted from January 1, 1996 to December 31, 2003. Our pioneer trade was in a tax loss position due to the substantial amount of capital allowances claimed arising from capital expenditure on our plant and machinery and trade losses in certain years. As a result, we had not enjoyed any tax exemption in respect of our income arising from the pioneer activities. On the other hand, we have paid taxes in respect of our interest and rental income, as losses arising from the pioneer trade cannot be set-off against the non-qualifying income during the pioneer incentive period due to the application of the law in respect of the pioneer incentive. In September 2004, the application to revoke retroactively our pioneer status was approved by the EDB. Accordingly, we recorded $5.0 million of tax recoverable in December 2004 related to the expected refund of taxes paid previously on interest and rental income as the unutilized tax losses and capital allowances arising from the trading activities would then be allowed to set-off against the income derived in the previous years. We received a partial refund of taxes amounting to $4.6 million in April 2005. We are in the process of working with the EDB for a new tax incentive for our Singapore operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
     Other than the guarantee provided on our 2.5% convertible subordinated notes due 2008, 6.75% senior notes due 2011 and 7.5% senior notes due 2010, and the tax guarantee to the South Korean Tax Authorities as discussed below, we have no performance guarantees. We also have no investment in any unconsolidated entities. Our off-balance sheet commitments are limited to operating leases, royalty/license agreements, purchase obligations and contingent payments to Cirrus Logic, Inc., assumed in the merger with ChipPAC, with respect to the purchase of test assets. Our total off-balance sheet obligations are approximately $284.6 million as of September 30, 2005.
     Our total commitments on our loans, capital lease, operating leases, and other agreements as of September 30, 2005, were as follows (in thousands):

(1)   On maturity of the 1.75% convertible notes due 2007 and zero coupon convertible notes due 2008, we are required to pay the note holders 117.665% and 123.4% of the principal amounts, respectively.
 
(2)   Holders of our zero coupon convertible notes due 2008 have the right to require us to repurchase all or a portion of their convertible notes on November 7, 2007.
Contingencies
     In connection with the merger with ChipPAC, we assumed certain contingent liabilities. In 2002, an assessment of approximately 16.0 billion South Korean Won (approximately $15.3 million at September 30, 2005) was made by the South Korean National Tax Service (“NTS”), relating to withholding tax not collected on the interest income on the loan between the ChipPAC’s subsidiaries in South Korea and Hungary for the period from 1999 to September 2001. The prevailing tax treaty does not require withholding on the transactions in question. ChipPAC has appealed the assessment through the NTS’s Mutual Agreement Procedure (“MAP”) and believes that the assessment will be overturned. On July 18, 2002, the Icheon tax office of the NTS approved a suspension of the proposed assessment until resolution of the disputed assessment. The NTS required a corporate guarantee amounting to the tax assessment in exchange for the suspension. ChipPAC complied with the guarantee request on July 10, 2002. A further assessment of 2.7 billion South Korean Won (approximately $2.6 million at September 30, 2005) was made on January 9, 2004, for the interest from October 2001 to May 2002. ChipPAC has applied for the MAP and obtained an approval for a suspension of the proposed assessment by providing a corporate guarantee amounting to the additional taxes. In the event that we are not successful with the appeal, the maximum amount payable including potential interest and local surtax is estimated to be 28.2 billion South Korean Won (approximately $27.1 million at September 30, 2005). We do not believe that the outcome of the resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As of September 30, 2005, no accrual has been made. However, our evaluation of the likely impact of the above contingent liabilities could change in the future and may result in additional liability assumed in the initial purchase of ChipPAC.
Cash Flows From Operating Activities
     For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, cash provided by operations was $170.9 million as compared to $86.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Cash provided and used by operations is calculated by adjusting our net income or loss by non-cash related items such as depreciation and amortization, amortization of leasing prepayments, accretion of discount on certain of our outstanding convertible notes, amortization of debt issuance cost, loss or gain from sale of assets, loss from repurchase and redemption of our 1.75% convertible notes due 2007, deferred income taxes, foreign currency exchange loss or gain, minority interest and by changes in assets and liabilities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, non-cash related items included $209.6 million related to depreciation and amortization (including amortization of capitalized debt issuance costs and leasing prepayments), $5.8 million from the accretion of discount, $1.7 million from loss on repurchase and redemption of the 1.75% convertible notes due 2007, $3.3 million from the deferred taxes and $3.5 million from the minority interest in income of our subsidiary. Working capital uses of cash included increases in accounts receivable, amounts due from affiliates, inventories and decreases in amount due to affiliates. Working capital source of cash included decreases in other receivables, prepaid expenses and other assets and increases in accounts payable, accrued operating expenses and other payables.
Cash Flows From Investing Activities
     For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, cash used in investing activities was $167.9 million as compared to $208.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The primary usage of cash in investing activities was related to the acquisition of property and equipment of $152.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and $221.0 million during the same period in 2004. We experienced a decrease in capital expenditure in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as we focused on extracting better utilization from our existing equipment and benefited from our ability to redeploy assets across the various geographic operating locations to maximize utilization. In the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we acquired $2.6 million of software and licenses. In the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, we invested in marketable securities which amounted to $26.9 million and $157.1 million, respectively, and received proceeds from the sale or maturity of our marketable securities of $11.6 million and $156.0 million, respectively.

 


 

Cash Flows From Financing Activities
     For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, cash used in financing activities was $11.7 million as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $18.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, $152.6 million was borrowed and $149.7 million was repaid on our borrowings and debts as compared to $44.1 million and $23.9 million, respectively, for the same period in 2004. In the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we repurchased $26.1 million and redeemed $125.9 million aggregate principal of our 1.75% convertible notes due 2007 at an aggregate consideration of $167.3 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, $146.6 million, net of expenses, was provided from the issuance of $150.0 million 7.5% senior notes due 2010. In addition, $10.0 million and $5.8 million of capital lease payments were made during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, $13.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively, was provided by the issuance of new shares through the employee share option scheme and the employee share purchase plan.
