Letter to Shareholders
(PICTURE)
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
The year 2005 was our first full year as a new company, STATS ChipPAC. It was a year of contrast with a weak market environment in the first half that became much stronger in the second half of the year. Despite this challenging operating environment, we made good progress in integrating our predecessor companies into a stronger company that is now a leading service provider in our industry. We have over 12,500 employees serving our customers from facilities located in Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, China and Taiwan and from our sales and support offices worldwide.
Our annual revenue was $1,157.3 million in 2005, up 50.5% over $769.1 million in 2004. On a U.S. GAAP basis, we posted a net loss of $26.3 million or $0.13 per diluted ADS in 2005, an improvement compared to a net loss of $467.7 million or $3.27 per diluted ADS in 2004. The net loss of $26.3 million included $59.6 million of special items and merger related charges associated with the merger of STATS and ChipPAC. Special items and merger related charges consisted of $1.0 million of purchase price adjusted tax expense, $1.7 million of debt retirement costs, and $56.9 million of merger related and purchase accounting charges. Without the merger related and purchase accounting charges, we would have been profitable in 2005.
During the year we firmly established a sustainable and more competitive business model. We maintained capital expenditure and operating expense discipline throughout the year and demonstrated our ability to fund our capital investments from internally generated funds. This is a first for our company over an entire year and rare in our industry.
Our customers have responded well to our business model which is anchored on turnkey solutions, leadership in 3D, advanced packaging, mixed signal test and a global footprint including the largest and most established China packaging and test operations.
We successfully built a more balanced and stronger customer base. Our customer concentration has been reduced with our success in growing our business with more customers, and not at the expense of growth with any major customers. With our top customers, we have broad engagements across many business units, and deep engagements in many programs and activities including technology co-developments. The latter is a strong validation of the industry’s recognition of our technology leadership, particularly in 3D integration technologies.

In many ways, 2005 was a foundation building year for STATS ChipPAC.
We have accomplished more than the strengthening of our engagement with existing customers. We have also successfully engaged quality new customers with products like flash memory, graphics processors and chips that drive consumer devices. Most are market leaders in their respective end markets and have meaningful business opportunities for us. We anticipate these new customers to add to our business growth in 2006 and beyond.
We also maintained our dominance in 3D packaging and made significant progress in growing new strategic products such as flip chip, wafer processing, wafer level chip scale packages and mixed signal test. Our volumes in flip chip and wafer level chip scale packages increased almost 100% in 2005.
One important additional service we offered in 2005 is wafer bumping for 300mm wafers. With this increased capability, we are able to offer a total flip-chip solution to our customers. We believe this has led to new flip chip business. More importantly, it has established us as a credible, full service supplier of flip chip which should position us well in the future as this market continues to grow and expand.
Internally, we have made good progress in streamlining our IT systems and infrastructure, strengthening our balance sheet position and harmonizing many of our systems and processes including our compensation system.
In many ways, 2005 was a foundation building year for STATS ChipPAC. We increased penetration at many existing customers and added new customers in Europe, Japan and in markets such as flash memory, graphics and digital consumer. We believe this increased penetration, coupled with our technology leadership in 3D and mixed signal test, and the momentum we have in high growth strategic products position us well for 2006 and beyond.
The overall semiconductor market is expected to have a benign growth year in 2006, with consensus growth of about 8%. Historically, our revenue growth has exceeded the revenue growth of the overall semiconductor market and we expect this trend to continue in 2006.
Moving forward, we will continue with our strategy of capital discipline and profitable growth. We believe we have the financial strength to invest for both the short term and the long term capacity expansion and technology development. We intend to continue our selective investments focus on long-term growth products such as 3D packaging, flip chip, wafer processing, wafer level chip scale packages and mixed signal testing. In addition, we will also be investing in facilities expansion and support R&D centers in China and Taiwan.
Finally, on behalf of the Board of Directors, we would like to thank our shareholders, customers and business associates for the support given during the year. We also want to thank all our dedicated and hardworking employees for their continued support.

Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2004
Net Revenues
     Net revenues were $1,157.3 million in 2005, an increase of 50.5% compared to $769.1 million in 2004. The increase was primarily due to our acquisition of ChipPAC (ChipPAC’s results of operations were consolidated from August 5, 2004) and a return to growth in the semiconductor industry coupled with a trend towards increased outsourcing of test and packaging. Following our merger, revenue attributable to ChipPAC’s operations has had a relatively larger impact on our packaging revenue than on our test revenue.
     Our packaging revenue in 2005 increased 76.7% to $835.3 million compared to 2004. Unit volumes of our total packaging increased 76.4% in 2005 compared to 2004, and contributed to an increase of $426.4 million in revenue. Average selling prices for our services have generally declined over product life cycles. Average selling prices per pin for packaging services in 2005 decreased 7.2%, compared to 2004, primarily due to changes in product mix, and contributed to a decrease of $63.9 million in revenue. We experienced increased demand for our 3-D packaging, FBGA and PBGA packaging in 2005. Test revenue in 2005 increased 8.9% to $322.0 million compared to 2004. Our increase in test revenue from our acquisition of ChipPAC was partially offset by declining average selling prices.
     In 2005, revenue from the communications market decreased by 4.9% over 2004, and contributed 55.2% of our net revenues in 2005 compared to 60.1% of our net revenues in 2004. The revenue from the communications market remained relatively strong with continued demand for more complex, higher functionality mobile phone and infrastructure products. Revenue from consumer, multi-applications and other markets increased 6.2% over 2004 and contributed 23.3% of our net revenues in 2005. Revenue from the personal computers market decreased 1.3% over 2004 and contributed 21.5% of our net revenues in 2005. We expect to continue to be dependent on the communications, consumer and multi-applications, and personal computers markets for substantially all of our net revenues.
Gross Profit
     Gross profit in 2005 was $189.2 million, an increase of $63.6 million compared to $125.6 million in 2004. Gross margin as a percentage of net revenues was 16.4% in 2005 compared to 16.3% in 2004. In 2005, gross profit improved primarily as a result of higher equipment utilization, depreciation savings from the change in equipment useful lives and continued cost control measures, including a reduction in workforce, partially offset by lower overall average selling prices, changes in product mix and an increase in cost of materials. Overall equipment utilization was approximately 72% in 2005 compared to 69% in 2004. We continued to experience pressure to reduce average selling prices in 2005. Our cost of revenues consist principally of fixed costs such as depreciation and leasing expenses and variable costs such as direct and indirect labor, materials and overhead expenses. We also experienced continued higher cost as a result of external global economic factors such as higher gold prices, higher oil prices, and the adverse effect of the strengthening of the Singapore dollar, South Korean Won and Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar in 2005 when compared to 2004.
Selling, General and Administrative
     Selling, general and administrative expenses were $135.8 million in 2005, an increase of 59.8% compared to $85.0 million in 2004. As a percentage of net revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were 11.7% in 2005, compared to 11.0% in 2004. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2005 was primarily due to the higher headcount resulting from our merger with ChipPAC, the inclusion of merger and integration expenses, and ChipPAC expenses which amounted to $84.3 million. The merger and integration expenses and ChipPAC expenses in 2005 included the amortization of the intangible assets which

11


 

amounted to $38.1 million and stock-based compensation expenses of $0.7 million mainly resulting 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 2005.
Research and Development
     Research and development expenses in 2005 were $26.1 million compared to $17.6 million in 2004, an increase of $8.5 million. Research and development expenses had increased primarily due to the inclusion of ChipPAC expenses which amounted to $13.9 million, inclusive of the amortization of the acquired intangible assets which amounted to $2.4 million in 2005. 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 expense.
Restructuring Charges
     During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, certain restructuring plans were executed to realign our organization and reduce operating costs to better align our expenses with revenues. 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 2005. There were no restructuring charges incurred in 2004.
Goodwill Impairment
     As required by U.S. GAAP, we performed our annual test for impairment in 2005, and determined that the fair value of the reporting units exceeded their carrying value, and therefore goodwill was not impaired. In 2004, we impaired $453.0 million of goodwill related to our acquisition of ChipPAC. We will continue to perform a test for goodwill impairment at least annually as required by U.S. GAAP.
Net Interest Income (Expense)
     Net interest expense was $36.2 million in 2005 compared to $24.4 million in 2004. Net interest expense consisted of interest income of $6.4 million and interest expense of $42.6 million in 2005 and interest income of $4.4 million and interest expense of $28.8 million in 2004. The increase in interest income in 2005 was primarily due to an increase of the marketable securities held by us. The increase in interest expense was primarily due 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, an increase in foreign loans of $19.7 million in South Korea and $4.6 million in Taiwan, and the $99.0 million short-term debts which was borrowed and repaid in 2005. The 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 certain long-term debts in South Korea and Taiwan, respectively. Total outstanding interest-bearing debt was $821.7 million and $834.8 million as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Foreign Currency Exchange Gain (Loss)
     Net foreign currency exchange gain was $0.5 million in 2005, compared to net foreign currency exchange loss of $1.1 million in 2004. These non-cash losses and gains were primarily due to the fluctuations between the exchange rate of the United States dollar and the Singapore dollar, the South Korean Won and the Japanese yen.

12


 

Other Non-Operating Income (Expense)
     Other non-operating expense, net was $1.1 million in 2005 compared to $0.9 million in 2004. The increase was primarily due to write-off of capitalized debt issuance cost of $1.7 million from the repurchase and redemption of our 1.75% convertible notes due 2007 in 2005.
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 $9.7 million in 2005 compared to $7.9 million in 2004.
Year Ended December 31, 2004 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2003
Net Revenues
     Net revenues were $769.1 million in 2004, an increase of 102.0% compared to $380.7 million in 2003. The increase was mainly from ChipPAC’s operations which were consolidated from August 5, 2004 and an increase in unit shipments. Following 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 2004 increased 161.6% to $472.8 million compared to 2003. Unit volumes of our total packaging increased 244.9% in 2004 compared to 2003, and contributed to an increase of $267.2 million in our net revenues. Average selling prices for our services have generally declined over product life cycles. Average selling prices per pin for packaging services in 2004 increased 5.3% compared to 2003, primarily due to changes in product mix and contributed to an increase of $24.9 million in our net revenues. Test revenue in 2004 increased 47.9% to $295.7 million compared to 2003.
     In 2004, revenues from the communications market increased 108.2% over 2003, and contributed 60.1% of our net revenues in 2004 compared to 58.3% of our net revenues in 2003. The revenue from the communications market remained relatively strong with continued demand for more complex, higher functionality mobile phone and infrastructure products. Revenue from the personal computers market increased 53.8% over 2003 and contributed 22.7% of our net revenues in 2004. We expect to continue to be dependent on the communications and personal computers markets for substantially all of our revenues.
Gross Profit
     Gross profit in 2004 was $125.6 million, an increase of $72.9 million compared to $52.7 million in 2003. Gross margin as a percentage of net revenues was 16.3% in 2004 compared to 13.8% in 2003. In 2004, gross profit improved primarily as a result of higher equipment utilization, depreciation savings from the change in equipment useful lives and continued cost control measures. Overall equipment utilization was approximately 69% in 2004 compared to 66% in 2003. We continued to experience pressure to reduce average selling prices in 2004. We also experienced continued higher cost as a result of external global economic factors such as higher gold prices, higher oil prices, and the adverse effect of the strengthening of the Singapore dollar, South Korean Won and Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar in 2004 when compared to 2003.

Selling, General and Administrative
     Selling, general and administrative expenses were $85.0 million in 2004 compared to $36.5 million in 2003, an increase of 132.9% compared to 2003. As a percentage of net revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were 11.0% in 2004, compared to 9.6% in 2003. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the inclusion of merger and integration expenses and ChipPAC expenses which amounted to $41.2 million in 2004, inclusive of the amortization of the intangible assets which amounted to $21.1 million and stock-based compensation expenses of $0.7 million mainly resulting from the expensing of the unearned compensation on unvested options recorded in the ChipPAC acquisition. Continued measures to control costs and manage discretionary expenses in 2004, were partially offset by the additional headcount employed in 2004.
Research and Development
     Research and development expenses in 2004 were $17.6 million compared to $15.3 million in 2003, an increase of $2.3 million. Research and development expenses had increased primarily due to the inclusion of ChipPAC expenses which amounted to $6.1 million, inclusive of the amortization of the acquired intangible assets which amounted to $1.3 million in 2004. However, expenses were partially offset by a reduction in expenses due to higher government grant income, depreciation savings from the change in equipment useful lives and continued cost control.
Goodwill Impairment
     As required by U.S. GAAP, we performed our annual valuation of goodwill. Based on the valuation, we took a special, non-cash charge of $453.0 million in our operating results in 2004. This charge does not affect operating results of prior periods and will have no future cash impact. The goodwill arose from the purchase accounting for the acquisition of ChipPAC. The majority of the purchase price was derived from share values near the announcement date as required by U.S. GAAP and resulted in $974.4 million of goodwill. There was no goodwill impairment in 2003.
Net Interest Income (Expense)
     Net interest expense was $24.4 million in 2004 compared to $9.2 million in 2003. Net interest expense consisted of interest income of $4.4 million and interest expense of $28.8 million in 2004 and interest income of $4.8 million and interest expense of $14.0 million in 2003. The decrease in interest income in 2004 was primarily due to lower yields on the marketable debt held by us. The increase in interest expense was primarily due 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. Total outstanding interest-bearing debt was $834.8 million and $371.7 million as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Foreign Currency Exchange Gain (Loss)
     Net foreign currency exchange loss was $1.1 million in 2004, compared to net foreign currency exchange gain of $1.6 million in 2003. These non-cash losses and gains were primarily due to the fluctuations between the exchange rate of the United States dollar and the Singapore dollar, the South Korean Won and the Japanese yen.
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 $7.9 million in 2004 compared to $0.7 million in 2003.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
     Our principal source of liquidity consists of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, which amounted to $260.2 million as of December 31, 2005. We also have available lines of credit and banking facilities consisting of loans, letter of credits and bank guarantees, including those available to our consolidated subsidiaries, which amounted to an aggregate of $309.8 million, of which $124.3 million was utilized as of December 31, 2005. 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 approximately $300.0 million in 2006, as our capital expenditure spending continues to be targeted at demand that we see from our customers and the expansion of our facilities in China. We spent $277.7 million on capital expenditures in 2005, compared to $270.8 million in 2004.
     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 expenditure requirements, as well as capital lease and debt service repayment obligations for 2006. If our capital expenditure 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.
     The Companies (Amendment) Act 2005 of Singapore (Companies Amendment Act), which became effective on January 30, 2006, introduced key amendments to the Companies Act, Chapter 50 of Singapore (Companies Act). As a result of these amendments, a Singapore company can now repurchase shares out of capital, as well as from distributable profits and ordinary shares repurchased by a company can be held by that company as treasury shares instead of being cancelled. In light of these amendments, we are considering implementing a share repurchase program and amending our employee share plans to, among other things, allow us the flexibility to deliver repurchased ordinary shares held in treasury (instead of issuing new ordinary shares) to eligible plan participants. If our Board of Directors determines that it would be in the best interest of our Company and our shareholders to adopt a share repurchase program, we expect to seek shareholders’ approval to adopt a share repurchase program within specified mandates relating to maximum repurchase price and volume and timing and manner of repurchases at our next annual general meeting of shareholders to be held in April 2006. Any such repurchases would be made in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act). We may use our available funds, draw down on our available lines of credit or seek additional financing or a combination of these to finance our repurchase of our ordinary shares.

Total Borrowings
     As of December 31, 2005, our total debt outstanding consisted of $821.7 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-term and short-term borrowings.
     On January 14, 2005, we repurchased an additional $26.1 million aggregate principal amount of our 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 our 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 a portion of the net 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 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 $146.7 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. In September 2005, we filed an exchange offer registration statement with the SEC. Pursuant to the exchange offer, we accepted tenders to exchange all $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.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities
     In 2005, cash used in investing activities was $263.0 million compared to $264.8 million in 2004. The primary usage of cash in investing activities was related to the acquisition of property and equipment of $245.8 million in 2005 and $287.6 million in 2004. We experienced a decrease in capital expenditure in 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 2005, we acquired $4.9 million of software and licenses. In 2005 and 2004, we invested in marketable securities which amounted to $32.0 million and $160.9 million, respectively, and received proceeds from the sale or maturity of our marketable securities of $16.5 million and $177.2 million, respectively.
     In 2004, cash used in investing activities was $264.8 million compared to $174.3 million in 2003. The primary usage of cash in investing activities was related to the acquisition of property and equipment of $287.6 million in 2004 and $209.3 million in 2003. The increase in capital expenditure is directly related to our increase in revenues and forecasted demand from customers. In 2004 and 2003, we invested in marketable securities which amounted to $160.9 million and $43.9 million, respectively, and received proceeds from the sale or maturity of our marketable securities of $177.2 million and $83.3 million, respectively. In 2004, we recorded $7.2 million of net cash acquired in the merger with ChipPAC.

Market Risks
     We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates. To mitigate the currency exchange risks, a substantial majority of our revenue, material and equipment supplies are transacted in U.S. dollars. We may 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. These instruments are generally used to reduce or eliminate the financial risks associated with our assets and liabilities and not for trading purposes.
Investment and Interest Rates
     Our exposure to market risk associated with changes in interest rates primarily relates to our investment portfolio and debt obligations. We place our investments in time deposits and marketable securities. We mitigate default risk by investing in marketable securities that are of at least an “A” rating, as assigned by an internationally recognized credit rating organization, and major Singapore banks and government-linked companies. We have no material cash flow exposure due to rate changes for cash equivalents and short-term investments. The fair value of fixed rate debts will vary as interest rates change. The fair value of convertible notes is also impacted by the market price of our ordinary shares or ADSs. As of December 31, 2005, our long-term debt obligations for the $31.5 million and $115.0 million senior unsecured and unsubordinated convertible notes due March 18, 2007 and November 7, 2008, respectively, the $50.0 million and $150.0 million subordinated convertible notes due June 15, 2011 and June 1, 2008, respectively, and the $215.0 million and $150.0 million senior notes due November 15, 2011 and July 19, 2010, respectively, bear fixed interest rate. The convertible notes due March 18, 2007 bear interest at a rate of 1.75% per annum and have a yield to maturity of 4.91%. The convertible notes due November 7, 2008 have a yield to maturity of 4.25%. The subordinated convertible notes due 2011 and 2008, and senior notes due 2011 and 2010 bear interest of 8.0%, 2.5%, 6.75% and 7.5% per annum, respectively.
Currency Exchange Rates
     A portion of our costs is denominated in foreign currencies, like the Singapore dollar, the Malaysian Ringgit, the South Korean Won, the Chinese Renminbi, the New Taiwan dollar and the Japanese yen. As a result, changes in the exchange rates of these currencies or any other applicable currencies to the U.S. dollar will affect our cost of goods sold and operating margins and could result in exchange losses. We have entered into foreign currency contracts to mitigate financial risks associated with payroll costs, materials costs and other costs denominated in Singapore dollars, South Korean Won and Malaysia Ringgit to benefit from our expectations of future exchange rate fluctuations.
     Based on our overall currency rate exposure, we have adopted a foreign currency hedging policy for committed or forecasted currency exposures. As of December 31, 2005, we have a series of foreign currency forward contracts with total contract value of approximately $68.0 million, to hedge against fluctuation in Singapore dollars, South Korean Won and Malaysia Ringgit. We may utilize foreign currency swaps as well as foreign exchange forward contracts and options. These programs reduce, but do not always entirely eliminate the impact of currency exchange movements. The goal of the hedging policy is to effectively manage risk associated with fluctuations in the value of the foreign currency, thereby making financial results more stable and predictable. However, we cannot assure you that any hedging policy we implement will be effective and we may experience reduced operating margins if any such policies are unsuccessful.

Limitations
     Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and are based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

STATS CHIPPAC LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In thousands of U.S. Dollars (except per share data)
1. Background and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     (a) Business and Organization
STATS ChipPAC Ltd. (“STATS ChipPAC” or “STATS” prior to consummation of the merger) and subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) is an independent provider of a full range of semiconductor test and packaging services. The Company was formed in connection with the merger of ST Assembly Test Services Ltd and ChipPAC, Inc. (“ChipPAC”), which was consummated on August 5, 2004. 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, 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. As a result of the merger, ChipPAC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of STATS. The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method. Subsequent to the merger, STATS was renamed STATS ChipPAC Ltd.
In 2005, a subsidiary, STATS ChipPAC, Inc. (formerly known as ST Assembly Test Services, Inc.) was merged into ChipPAC. The surviving entity was renamed STATS ChipPAC, Inc.
In 2004, the Company’s Taiwan subsidiary, Winstek Semiconductor Corporation (“Winstek”), issued new shares to its employees as employee stock bonus and resulted in the dilution of the Company’s interest in Winstek from 55.0% to 54.5%. The Company recognized the loss of $62 on the dilution of interest within shareholders’ equity. In 2005, 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. The shares of Winstek are listed on the Taiwan over-the-counter securities market. The Company recognized the gain of $61 on the resulting dilution of interest within shareholders’ equity. The Company owned approximately 52% of Winstek as of December 31, 2005.
The Company has operations in Singapore, South Korea, China, Malaysia, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Japan and in the United States of America, its principal market.
Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited (“Temasek Holdings”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Singapore Technologies Semiconductors Pte Ltd (“STSPL”), beneficially owned approximately 36% of the Company as of December 31, 2005. Temasek Holdings, wholly-owned by the Minister of Finance (Incorporated) for Singapore, a statutory body constituted by the Minister for Finance (Incorporation) Act (Cap. 183), owns 100% of the ordinary shares of STSPL.
     (b) Fiscal Year
Since the beginning of fiscal 2005, the Company employed fiscal year and fiscal quarter reporting periods. STATS ChipPAC’s 52-53 week fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest to December 31. STATS ChipPAC’s fiscal quarters end on a Sunday and are generally thirteen weeks in length. For presentation purposes, the fiscal years have been presented as ending on December 31. Unless otherwise stated, all years and dates refer to STATS ChipPAC’s fiscal years.

STATS CHIPPAC LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
In thousands of U.S. Dollars (except per share data)
     (c) Accounting Principles
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) consistently applied for all periods.
     (d) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of STATS ChipPAC and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
     (e) Issuances of Stock by Subsidiaries
Changes in the Company’s proportionate share of the underlying net equity of a subsidiary, which result from the issuance of additional stocks to third parties, are recognized as increases or decreases to additional paid-in capital as a component of shareholders’ equity.
     (f) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made by management include: the useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets as well as future cash flows to be generated by those assets; discounts and allowances relating to volume purchases and other incentive programs offered to customers, allowances for doubtful accounts, sales returns; valuation allowances for deferred tax assets; provision for inventory losses; fair value of reporting units; and contingent liabilities, among others. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
     (g) Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made in prior years’ financial statements to conform with classifications used in the current year.
     (h) Foreign Currency Transactions
The Company predominantly utilizes the U.S. dollar as its functional currency. Assets and liabilities which are denominated in foreign currencies are converted into the functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Income and expenses which are denominated in foreign currencies are converted at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses are included in results of operations.
Winstek designates the New Taiwan Dollar as its functional currency. Where the functional currency of a subsidiary is other than the Company’s U.S. dollar reporting currency, the financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date 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 loss, which is reflected as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

     (i) Certain Risks and Concentrations
The Company’s customers are comprised of companies in the semiconductor industry located primarily in the United States of America, Europe and Asia. The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical and experiences significant fluctuations in customer demand, evolving industry standards, competitive pricing pressure that leads to steady declines in average selling prices, rapid technological changes, risk associated with foreign currencies and enforcement of intellectual property rights. Additionally, the market in which the Company operates is very competitive. As a result of these industry and market characteristics, key elements of competition in the independent semiconductor packaging market include breath of packaging offerings, time-to-market, technical competence, design services quality, production yields, reliability of customer service and price.
The Company’s largest customer accounted for approximately 32%, 21% and 12% of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. The Company’s five largest customers collectively accounted for approximately 66%, 56% and 49% of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. The decommitment from any major customer for products, or the loss of or default by any of these major customers could have an adverse effect upon the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company mitigates the concentration of credit risk in trade receivables through the Company’s credit evaluation process, credit policies, credit control and collection procedures.
Cash and cash equivalents are deposited with banks primarily in Singapore, South Korea, China, Malaysia, British Virgin Islands, Taiwan and the United States of America. Deposits in these banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits, if any. The Company has not experienced any losses to date on its bank cash deposits. Prior to December 2004, the Company also participates in a pooled cash management arrangement and places short-term advances with affiliates of Temasek Holdings.
South Korean, Chinese and Malaysian foreign currency exchange regulations may place restrictions on the flow of foreign funds into and out of those countries. The Company is required to comply with these regulations when entering into transactions in foreign currencies in South Korea, China and Malaysia. As of December 31, 2005, there were no restrictions on foreign funds flow.
     (j) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash and have original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash, deposit accounts, money market funds and foreign government treasury bills at December 31, 2005.
     (k) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measures those instruments at fair value. Changes in the fair value of those instruments will be reported in earnings or other comprehensive income depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. The accounting for gains and losses associated with changes in the fair value of derivatives and the effect on the consolidated financial statements will depend on the derivatives’ hedge designation and whether the hedge is highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in the fair values of cash flows of the asset or liability hedged.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
In thousands of U.S. Dollars (except per share data)
In 2004 and 2005, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts to protect the Company from fluctuations in exchange rates. At December 31, 2005, the Company has a series of foreign currency forward contracts with total contract value of approximately $68,000. In 2005, the Company entered into a series of gold forward contracts with total contract value of approximately $7,000 to hedge against fluctuations in gold prices. At December 31, 2005, the Company had realized and unrealized gain of $3,143 and $133, respectively, on its foreign currency and gold forward contracts. At December 31, 2004, the Company had realized and unrealized gain of $168 and $3,953, respectively, on its foreign currency forward contracts. In 2003, hedge accounting has not been applied as the foreign currency forward contracts entered into do not qualify as hedges. Gains and losses on these contracts have been recorded as foreign currency gains or losses.
     (l) Marketable Securities
Marketable securities at December 31, 2004 and 2005 consist of corporate debt securities and certificates of deposits denominated in U.S. Dollars, Singapore Dollars, Chinese Renminbi and New Taiwan Dollars. The Company classifies its securities in one of three categories: trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity. Trading securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. Held-to-maturity securities are those securities in which the Company has the ability and intent to hold the security until maturity. All securities not included in trading or held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale.
Trading and available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities are included in earnings. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive loss until realized. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined on a specific identification basis.
A decline in the market value of individual available-for-sale or held-to-maturity securities below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary results in a reduction in its carrying amount to fair value, with the impairment charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security being established. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related held-to-maturity security as an adjustment to yield using the effective interest method. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned.
     (m) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost, which approximates actual cost determined on the weighted average basis, or market value. The Company generally does not take ownership of customer supplied semiconductors, and accordingly does not include them as part of the Company’s inventories.
     (n) Business Combination
Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method accounting. Business combinations which are accounted for under the purchase method of accounting include the results of operations of the acquired business from the effective date of acquisition. Any excess of the purchase price over estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

     (o) Goodwill
The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the designated quarters for its different reporting units, and whenever circumstances indicate the carrying value of the goodwill may have been impaired. The impairment test is performed by first comparing the fair value of the applicable reporting unit to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the impairment test is performed to determine the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the test involves the comparison of the implied fair value of the goodwill to its carrying value. If the carrying value of reporting unit goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for an amount equal to the excess. The implied fair value of reporting unit is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a purchase business combination.
The estimates of fair value of a reporting unit are determined using various valuation techniques with the primary technique being a discounted cash flow analysis. A discounted cash flow analysis requires one to make various judgmental assumptions including assumptions about future cash flows, growth rates and discount rates. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on the Company’s budget and long-term plans. In estimating fair values of its reporting units, the Company also use analyst estimates as well as comparable market analyses.
     (p) Intangible Assets
The Company acquires patent rights and technology licenses from other companies for use in its processes. Cost of the technology licenses is amortized over the shorter of the useful life or license period. In addition, intangible assets acquired in business combinations accounted for under the purchase method of accounting are recorded at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at the date of acquisition. In connection with the merger with ChipPAC, the costs of intangible assets acquired comprising tradenames, technology, intellectual property and customer relationships, software and licenses, were recorded based on the fair values of those intangible assets on August 5, 2004, determined by independent appraisals.
Acquired intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated on the straight-line method over the following periods:
         
Tradenames
  7 years
Technology and intellectual property
  10 years
Customer relationships
  2 years
Software and licenses
    3 to 5 years  
     (q) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the following periods:
         
Land use rights
    50 to 99 years  
Building, mechanical and electrical installation
    3 to 25 years  
Equipment
    2 to 8 years  
No depreciation is provided on property, plant and equipment under installation or construction and freehold land. Repairs and replacements of a routine nature are expensed, while those that extend the life of an asset are capitalized.

Plant and equipment under capital leases are stated at the present value of minimum lease payments and are amortized straight-line over the estimated useful life of the assets.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 143, “Accounting For Asset Retirement Obligations,” (“SFAS 143”) on January 1, 2003, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and associated asset retirement costs. This statement applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from acquisition, construction, development and (or) normal use of asset.
     (r) Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of a long-lived asset is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.
For long-lived assets held for sale, the carrying value is measured at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell and depreciation is ceased. Long-lived assets to be abandoned will be considered held and used until it is disposed of.
     (s) Comprehensive Loss
The Company applies SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” with respect to reporting and presentation of comprehensive loss and its components in a full set of financial statements. Comprehensive loss consists of net loss, foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale marketable securities and hedging instruments, and is presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
     (t) Revenue Recognition
Revenue is derived primarily from wafer probe, packaging and testing of semiconductor integrated circuits. Net revenues represent the invoiced value of services rendered net of returns, trade discounts and allowances, and excluding goods and services tax.
Revenue is recognized when there is evidence of an arrangement, fees are fixed or determinable, collectibility is reasonably assured, the service has been rendered, the revenue to be recognized is billable under the terms of the arrangement and not contingent upon completion of undelivered services, and, where applicable, delivery has occurred and risk of loss has passed to the customer. Such policies are consistent with the provisions in Securities Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.”
The Company’s sales arrangement include probe, packaging or test services sold on a standalone basis, as well as multiple-element arrangements where probe, packaging, test, and in some cases, pre-production and post-production services are provided together. Where arrangements provide for multiple elements, elements are either combined into one single unit of accounting or treated as separate units of accounting depending on whether certain specified criteria are met. Revenue is allocated to each unit of accounting based on fair value, determined by reference to prices of services sold on a standalone basis.
The Company generally does not take ownership of customer supplied semiconductors as these materials are sent to the Company on a consignment basis. Accordingly, the values of the customer supplied materials are neither reflected in revenue nor in cost of revenue.

Provisions are made for estimates of potential sales returns and discounts allowance for volume purchases and early payments and are recorded as a deduction from gross revenue based upon historical experience and expectations of customers’ ultimate purchase levels and timing of payment. Actual revenues may differ from estimates if future customer purchases or payment timing differ, which may happen as a result of changes in general economic conditions, market demand for the customers’ products, or by customers’ desire to achieve payment timing discounts. Actual returns and discounts have not historically been significantly different from estimates. In addition, specific returns and discounts are provided for at the time their existence is known and the amounts are estimable.
The following sets forth the percentage of net revenues by packaging products group and testing services:

Provisions are made for collectibility of accounts receivable when there is doubt as to the collectibility of individual accounts. Collectibility is assessed based on the age of the balance, the customer’s historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends.
     (u) Grants
Asset-related government grants consist of grants for the purchase of equipment used for research and development activities. Asset-related grants are presented in the consolidated balance sheet as deferred grants and are credited to income on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the relevant assets.
Income-related government grants are subsidies of training and research and development expenses. Income-related grants are credited to income when it becomes probable that expenditures already incurred will constitute qualifying expenditures for purposes of reimbursement under the grants, which is typically substantially concurrent with the expenditures.
There are no restrictions on transferring technology or manufacturing products developed with government grants.
     (v) Stock-Based Employee Compensation
At December 31, 2005, the Company has two stock-based employee compensation plans, which are more fully described in Note 23. The Company measures stock-based employee compensation expense for financial statement purposes in accordance with the intrinsic method of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), and its related interpretations, and includes pro forma information in accordance with SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” (“SFAS 123”) as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure.” Compensation expense is measured as the excess of fair market value of the stock subject to the option at measurement date over the exercise price of the option.

     (w) Employee Benefit Plans
Winstek operates a defined benefit retirement plan for a substantial portion of its employees in Taiwan in accordance with the Labor Standards Law in Taiwan. Pension benefits are generally based on years of service and average salary for the six months prior to the approved retirement date. Winstek contributes 2% of eligible wages and salaries, on a monthly basis, to a pension fund maintained with the Central Trust of China, as required by the Labor Standards Law. At each year end, Winstek actuarially determines pension benefit costs and obligations using the projected unit credit method, and the amounts calculated depend on a variety of assumptions. These assumptions include discount rates, rates for expected returns on plan assets, mortality rates and retirement rates. The funding of the pension plan is determined in accordance with

statutory funding requirements. Winstek is obligated to make up any shortfall in the plan’s assets in meeting the benefits accrued to the participating staff. As at December 31, 2005, there is a $60 shortfall in the plan’s assets. Total pension plan expenses for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 were approximately $46, $76 and $55, respectively. Additional disclosures regarding this pension plan pursuant to SFAS No. 132, “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits” are not considered necessary due to the insignificance of the amounts involved.
STATS ChipPAC, Inc. and STATS ChipPAC Test Services, Inc. have a 401(k) savings plan where the Company contributes up to 6% of eligible employee compensation at the rate of 50% of employee contributions to the 401(k) plan. The Company’s matching contributions under the 401(k) plan were $258, $320 and $395 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. The matching contributions are accrued monthly and adjusted when the actuals are calculated. The expenses relating to the plan are $15 per person per quarter and are accrued on a monthly basis. Returns of the 401(k) plan from investments in mutual funds are calculated daily by an external administrator who administers the plan.
Employees with more than one year of service are entitled to receive a lump-sum payment upon termination of their employment with STATS ChipPAC Korea Ltd. (“STATS ChipPAC Korea”), based on their length of service and rate of pay at the time of termination. Accrued severance benefits are adjusted annually for all eligible employees based on their employment as of balance sheet date. In accordance with the National Pension Act of South Korea, a certain portion of severance benefits has been deposited with the Korean National Pension Fund and deducted from accrued severance benefits. The amount contributed will be refunded to employees from the National Pension Fund upon retirement. The expense for severance benefits for the period from August 5, 2004 to December 31, 2004 and for the year ended December 31, 2005 were approximately $1,793 and $6,333, respectively.
The Company participates in a number of defined contribution retirement benefit plans in certain countries of operations. Contributions are based on a percentage of each eligible employee’s salary and are expensed as the related salaries are incurred. The Company incurred expenses of approximately $4,072, $7,226 and $10,711 with respect to these retirement plans in the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively.
     (x) Operating Leases
Rental payments under operating leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the periods of the respective leases.
     (y) Product Warranties
The Company guarantees that work performed will be free from any defects in workmanship, materials and manufacture for a period ranging from three to twelve months to meet the stated functionality as agreed to in each sales arrangement. Products are tested against specified functionality requirements prior to delivery, but the Company nevertheless from time to time experiences claims under its warranty guarantees. The Company accrues for estimated warranty costs under those guarantees based upon historical experience, and for specific items at the time their existence is known and the amounts are determinable. Warranty costs incurred in 2003, 2004 and 2005 were insignificant.

     (aa) Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their respective tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded for loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets where it is more likely than not that such loss carryforwards and deferred tax assets will not be realized.
     (bb) Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding and dilutive potential ordinary shares from the assumed exercise of options outstanding during the period, if any, using the treasury stock method plus other potentially dilutive securities outstanding, such as convertible notes.
The Company excluded potentially dilutive securities for each period presented from its diluted net 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 losses, and therefore these securities were anti-dilutive.
A summary of the excluded potentially dilutive securities outstanding as of December 31 and the range of related exercise prices follows:
                         
    December 31,
    2003   2004   2005
Convertible debt
    172,513       369,235       287,999  
Stock options
    61,022       131,997       124,175  
The conversion price of convertible debt outstanding was approximately $0.927 to $1.871 per share (equivalent to approximately $9.27 to $18.71 per ADS) as of December 31, 2005. The weighted average exercise prices of options outstanding were approximately $1.58, $1.01 and $1.01 (equivalent to $15.80, $10.10 and $10.10 per ADS) as of December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. The excluded stock options have per share exercise prices ranging from approximately $0.14 to $3.99 (equivalent to $1.40 and $39.90 per ADS) as of December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005.
     (cc) New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (“SFAS 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 123(R)”). This statement revises SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” (“SFAS 123”) amends SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” and supersedes APB No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS 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 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. See Note 1(v) for the effect on reported net loss if the Company had accounted for its share options and employee share purchase rights using the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123.
In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission released SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, “Share-Based Payment” (“SAB 107”). SAB 107 provides the SEC staff position regarding the application of SFAS 123(R). SAB 107 contains interpretive guidance related to the interaction between SFAS 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 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 123(R) and SAB 107 and expects that the adoption of SFAS 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 154”). SFAS 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 154 on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations but does not expect it to have a material impact.
In September 2005, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 04-13, “Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty” (“EITF 04-13”). EITF 04-13 discusses whether inventory purchase and sales transactions with the same counterparty that are entered into in contemplation of one another should be combined and treated as a nonmonetary exchange and addresses (a) under what circumstances should two or more transactions with the same counterparty (counterparties) be viewed as a single nonmonetary transaction within the scope of APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions” (“APB 29”) and SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an Amendment of APB 29” (“SFAS 153”) and (b) if nonmonetary transactions within the scope of APB 29 and SFAS 153 involve inventory, are there any circumstances under which the transactions should be recognized at fair value. The pronouncement is effective for new inventory arrangements entered into, or modifications or renewals of existing inventory arrangements occurring in interim or annual reporting periods beginning after March 15, 2006. The Company does not expect that this pronouncement will have a material effect on its financial statements.

2. Related Party Transactions
As of December 31, 2005, Temasek Holdings, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Singapore Technologies Semiconductors Pte Ltd, beneficially owns approximately 36% of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares. Singapore Technologies Pte Ltd (“STPL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Temasek Holdings, was the holding company of Singapore Technologies Semiconductors Pte Ltd prior to a restructuring completed on December 31, 2004 pursuant to which all the assets of Singapore Technologies Pte Ltd were transferred to Temasek Holdings.
Companies within the Temasek Holdings group, including Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd (“Chartered”), engage in transactions with the Company in the normal course of their respective businesses. These transactions, such as for gas, water, electricity, facilities management, transportation and telecommunication services, are on customary terms and conditions no different from those with third parties.
The Company’s operations in Singapore are conducted in a building constructed on land held on a long-term operating lease from a statutory board of the Government of Singapore. The lease is for a 30-year period commencing March 1, 1996 and is renewable for a further 30 years subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions.
STPL previously provided management and corporate services to the Company. Under a service agreement effective January 1, 2000, annual management fees were payable for the provision of specified services on mutually agreed terms which the Company believed approximated the cost of providing those services. The fees were subjected to review by the parties every three years. The service fee expense amounted to $1,086 and $1,146 for 2003 and 2004, respectively. The service agreement was terminated on December 31, 2004.
The Company has contracts with Chartered to provide wafer sort, packaging and test services and priority usage of the Company’s testers in return for minimum loads and orders. Net revenues earned from Chartered for 2003, 2004 and 2005 were $13,940, $18,537 and $12,647, respectively.
The Company previously participated in a cash management program managed by a bank for the former STPL group (“STPL pooled cash”). Under the program, cash balances were pooled and daily cash surpluses or shortfalls of the Company within the pool earned or bore interest at prevailing interest rates. This arrangement was terminated as of November 30, 2004. In the past, the Company had placed surplus cash as short-term deposits with ST Treasury Services Ltd (“STPL treasury deposits”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Temasek Holdings, but the Company had ceased to do so since October 1, 2004. Interest income under this arrangement for 2003 and 2004 amounted to $1,286 and $255, respectively.
As of December 31, 2004 and 2005, there were the following amounts owing by (to) affiliates:

STATS CHIPPAC LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
In thousands of U.S. Dollars (except per share data)
In the third quarter of fiscal 2004, following the consummation of the merger, the Company adopted ChipPAC’s policy to depreciate equipment and machinery on a straight-line basis over 8 years, from 5 years previously. The impact of this change was depreciation savings of $23,373 for year ended December 31, 2004. The change resulted in an increase in net income of $19,698, net of tax effects of $3,675. This also resulted in a decrease in loss per share and ADS by $0.01 and $0.14, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2004.
The Company routinely reviews the remaining estimated useful lives of their equipment and machinery to determine if such lives should be adjusted due to the likelihood of technological obsolescence arising from changes in production techniques or in market demand for the use of its equipment and machinery. However, due to the nature of the testing operations, which may include sudden changes in demand in the end markets, and due to the fact that certain equipment is dedicated to specific customers, the Company may not be able to accurately anticipate declines in the utility of its machinery and equipment.
Land use rights represent payments to secure, on a fully-paid up basis, the use of properties where the Company’s facilities are located in Shanghai, China and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for a period of 50 and 99 years, respectively. The land use rights expire in the year 2044 for Shanghai, China and in the year 2086 for Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The Company’s Singapore facilities are located in a building constructed on land held on a 30-year operating lease which is renewable for a further 30-year period subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions. The facilities in Hsin-Chu Hsien, Taiwan are located on a freehold land.
Included in property, plant and equipment are equipments acquired under capital lease at a cost of $31,889 and $20,406 as of December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively. The accumulated depreciation for these leased assets for the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2005 amounted to $7,317 and $3,775, respectively.

As of December 31, 2003, the Company had goodwill of $2,209 related to the acquisition of Winstek. As a result of the acquisition of ChipPAC, Inc. in August 2004, the Company recorded additional goodwill of $974,389, inclusive of purchase adjustments of $4,880 in the fourth quarter of 2004 related primarily to equipment and deferred taxes valuation. In 2005, additional purchase adjustments of $973 related to the cost of acquisition of $453 and fair value of liabilities acquired of $520 were recorded.
Pursuant to business combination accounting rules, the goodwill associated with the acquisition of ChipPAC was recorded based on share prices at the time the merger was announced. The Company performed its annual test for impairment of goodwill related to ChipPAC during the fourth quarter of 2004 and 2005. Goodwill was allocated to reporting units associated with the Company’s acquisitions.
In 2005, the Company completed its annual test for impairment and determined that the fair value of the reporting units exceed their carrying value, and therefore goodwill was not impaired.
The annual impairment review completed in 2004 indicated that the reported book value of the ChipPAC reporting units exceeded its fair value, with the determination of fair value supplemented by independent appraisal using a combination of discounted cash flows and market multiples methodologies. The Company believed that the decline in the fair values of the ChipPAC reporting units in 2004 were primarily due to:-
(a)   longer than expected slow-down in the industry beginning late 2004 as customers corrected excess inventory position. This reduction in demand, coupled with the competitive pressures in the testing and packaging business had affected the short-term earnings expectation of the Company; and
(b)   a revision of the industry outlook beyond 2005 as compared to the time the merger was announced.

The Company compared the fair values of the ChipPAC reporting units to the fair values of their tangible and identifiable intangible net assets for purposes of determining the implied fair value of goodwill in 2004. Upon completion of the assessment, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $453,000 to reduce the carrying value of goodwill related to the acquisition of ChipPAC to its estimated fair value of $521,389 in 2004.
12. Business Combination
On August 5, 2004, STATS and ChipPAC consummated the previously announced merger which resulted in ChipPAC becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of STATS. The transaction had been accounted for using the purchase method. ChipPAC is a full portfolio provider of semiconductor packaging, design, assembly, test and distribution services. By combining the testing expertise of STATS with the packaging expertise of ChipPAC, STATS ChipPAC offers its global customers one of the broadest portfolios of comprehensive end-to-end packaging and test services in the semiconductor industry.
The number of STATS ChipPAC ADSs issued pursuant to the merger was 86,190,753, determined based upon the exchange ratio of 0.87 STATS ADS for each share of ChipPAC Class A common stock and the number of outstanding shares of ChipPAC Class A common stock as of August 5, 2004. The average market price per STATS ADS of $12.402 is based upon an average of the closing prices for a range of trading days (February 8 through 12, 2004) around February 10, 2004, the date on which the merger was announced.
The fair values of STATS ChipPAC substitute options, both vested and unvested, were determined using a Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, an expected volatility of 62.47%, and a risk-free interest rate of 3.12%. The model assumed an expected life of five to seven years for vested and unvested options.
The number of STATS ChipPAC ordinary shares that were subjected to STATS ChipPAC substitute options in connection with the merger was 76,492,951, based upon the total number of shares of ChipPAC Class A common stock subjected to outstanding ChipPAC options as of August 5, 2004, at an exercise price range of $0.15 to $1.47 per STATS ChipPAC ordinary share.
Based on the above, the estimated total purchase price of the ChipPAC acquisition was as follows:
         
Value of STATS ChipPAC ADSs issued
  $ 1,068,955  
Value of STATS ChipPAC substitute options
    74,548  
 
     
Total value of STATS ChipPAC securities
    1,143,503  
Estimated direct transaction costs
    9,369  
 
     
Total estimated purchase price
  $ 1,152,872  
 
     
Under the purchase method of accounting, the total estimated purchase price as shown in the table above was allocated to ChipPAC’s net tangible and identifiable intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as at merger date. In determining the price allocation, management considered, among other factors, its intention for use of acquired assets as well as historical demand and estimates of future demand for ChipPAC’s products and services. Based on these assumptions, the estimated purchase price was allocated as follows:

Certain adjustments were made to goodwill subsequent to the acquisition date and are described in Note 11, Goodwill.
Of the total estimated purchase price, an estimate of $29,254 had been allocated to net assets assumed and $147,218 had been allocated to amortizable identifiable intangible assets acquired. The final allocation of purchase price was subjected to adjustments for a period not to exceed one year from the consummation date (the allocation period) in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141”) and EITF No. 95-3, “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination.” The allocation period was intended to differentiate between amounts that were determined as a result of the identification and valuation process required by SFAS 141 for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed and amounts that were determined as a result of information that was not previously obtained being obtained.
The fair value of tangible assets was estimated primarily based on the cost and sales comparison approaches. In applying the cost approach, the replacement or reproduction cost estimates for the buildings, machinery and other equipment were based on indexed original costs or manufacturer reported replacement costs. Original historical cost data was segregated by appraisal class and year of acquisition, and indexed to estimated reproduction cost. Inflation trend factors were derived using indices from nationally recognized indexes. Replacement or reproduction costs were reduced by depreciation factors that reflect the estimated physical deterioration and functional obsolescence of assets. The sales comparison approach was used for tangible assets that have an active resale market. Similar assets recently sold or offered for sale were analyzed and their prices adjusted to reflect the difference between the comparable asset and the asset and the conditions of the sale to estimate the value of the acquired assets.
The fair value assigned to intangible assets was estimated by discounting the estimated future cash flows of the intangibles assets to their present value. The cash flow estimates used for technology and intellectual property were based on estimates of product revenue and appropriate royalty rates (based on an analysis of rates for similar technologies and forecast product margins). The cash flow estimates used for customer relationships were based on estimates of revenue attributed to the current customers and the programs they have been qualified on as well as the profitability attributed to each customer related asset. The rate used to discount these net cash flows was determined after consideration of market returns on debt and equity capital, the weighted average return on invested capital, the nature of each asset and the risk associated with achieving the forecast.
The fair value of the ChipPAC tradename was amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated life of seven years.

Technology and intellectual property were related to ChipPAC’s technology for ball grid array, lead-frame and chip scale package. The fair value of these assets was amortized on a straight-line basis over an average estimated life of ten years.
Customer relationships represent those customers with which ChipPAC had current sales relationships. The fair value of these assets was amortized on a straight-line basis over an average estimated life of two years.
The Company recorded $2,011 of unearned compensation on unvested options, in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation.” This amount represents the intrinsic value of stock options assumed that is earned as the employees provide services over the next four years.
Of the total estimated purchase price, $974,389 had been allocated to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and identifiable intangible assets. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives resulting from business combinations will not be amortized but instead will be tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if certain indicators are present.

The Company was previously granted pioneer status under the Singapore Economic Expansion Incentives (Relief from Income Tax) Act, Chapter 86, 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 the Company’s pioneer status granted from January 1, 1996 to December 31, 2003. The Company’s pioneer trade was in an adjusted tax loss position due to the substantial amount of capital allowances claimed arising from capital expenditure on its plant and machinery and trade losses in certain years. As a result, the Company had not enjoyed any tax exemption in respect of its income arising from the pioneer activities. On the other hand, the Company had paid taxes in respect of its 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 for the revocation was approved by EDB. Accordingly, the Company recorded $5,039 of tax recoverable in 2004 related to expected tax 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, of which $4,559 has been refunded in 2005. The Company is in the process of working with the EDB for a new tax incentive for its Singapore operations.

We established a valuation allowance of $53,973 against all of the net operating loss carryforwards and reinvestment allowance, and a portion of the Korean tax credit carryforwards. If utilized, these attributes will be treated as a reduction in acquired goodwill. As of December 31, 2004, $5,916 of the Korean tax credit carryforwards was utilized.

The deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2004 and 2005 arose principally as a result of the deferred tax benefit associated with tax loss carryforwards and investment tax credits. The Company recorded a valuation allowance of $80,538 and $110,671 as of December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively, which represents an increase of $71,863 and $30,133 in 2004 and 2005, respectively, to reduce the assets to the amounts that the Company deemed, more likely than not, that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods which the deferred tax assets are deductible, the Company establish a partial valuation allowance against its gross deferred tax assets to reduce the assets to the amount the Company deemed, more likely than not, to be recoverable.
As at December 31, 2005, the Company has approximately $136,947 of tax loss carryforwards available to offset against future taxable income, certain amounts of which will expire in varying amounts from 2006 to 2024. Changes in stock ownership can result in a limitation on the amount of net operating loss that are available as carryforwards. The Company determined it had undergone such an ownership change during 2004 in connection with its merger with ChipPAC. In 2005, the limitations in connection with the merger with ChipPAC related to the carryforward of certain Singapore tax losses and capital allowances for offset against future taxable profits of the Company were waived by the Singapore tax authorities, subject to fulfillment of certain continuing conditions. Consequently, approximately $21,685 of such tax loss and capital allowance carryforwards were recognized as deferred tax assets in 2005. As at December 31, 2005, the Company has approximately $2,941 of tax deductions in the United States as a result of the exercise of employee share options reflected in net operating loss carryforwards and valuation allowance, of which the tax benefit has not been realized.
As at December 31, 2005, the Company has approximately $3,956, $298,121, $46,180 and $104,771 of research and development, unutilized capital allowances, investment tax credits and reinvestment allowance, respectively, which can be used to offset income tax payable in future years. Certain credits will expire in varying amounts from 2006 through 2012.
15. Short-Term Borrowings
The short-term borrowings relate to the lines of credit with Cho Hung Bank, Hana Bank and the National Agricultural Cooperation Federation Bank in South Korea, with credit limits of $25,000, $5,000 and $4,000, respectively. The lines of credit bore interest at rates ranging from 2.1% to 3.3% and 3.59% to 5.86% for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively. As of December 31, 2004 and 2005, $19,874 and $16,891 of short-term borrowings remain outstanding, respectively. These lines of credit are subject to annual review by the lenders for the continued use of the facilities.

20. Share Capital
On November 5, 2003, the Company issued 83,389,375 new ordinary shares of par value S$0.25 each with proceeds of $115 million (net proceeds of $111 million). The 83,389,375 new shares were admitted to the Official List of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited on November 6, 2003.
On August 5, 2004, the Company completed the acquisition of ChipPAC. The Company issued 861,907,530 new ordinary shares of par value S$0.25 each and assumed options to purchase 76,492,951 ordinary shares to effect the acquisition.
As a result of the employees exercising their share options and purchase rights in 2003, 2004 and 2005, 1,115,470, 5,802,800 and 31,961,575 ordinary shares were issued, respectively.
Under Singapore law, all increases in share capital (including rights issues) require prior shareholders’ approval. The Singapore law was revised effective January 30, 2006 whereby common stock par value is eliminated. The revision will result in all ordinary shares being recorded with no par value.
21. Additional Paid-in Capital
Additional paid-in capital represents principally the excess of proceeds received from issues of share capital (net of the costs of issue) over the par value of shares issued, which under Singapore law must be credited to the share premium account. The share premium may only be applied in paying up unissued shares to be issued to shareholders, paying up in whole or in part the balance unpaid on shares in issue, in payment of dividends, if such dividends are satisfied by the issue of shares to members of the Company, in writing off preliminary expenses and share and debenture issue expenses and by provision for premiums payable on the redemption of redeemable preferred shares. The Company has not utilized any amounts in the share premium account for the above mentioned purposes.
As of December 31, 2004 and 2005, the Company’s share premium account amounted to $1,406,019 and $1,414,721, respectively.

23. Share Options and Incentive Plans
Effective May 1999, the Company adopted the Share Option Plan which provides for a maximum of 150 million shares (subject to adjustment under the plan) to be reserved for option plans. Options granted under the plan may include non-statutory options as well as incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the United States Internal Revenue Code. Option periods may not exceed 10 years from the date of grant. Upon leaving the employment of the Company, outstanding options remain exercisable for a specified period.
The plan is administered by a committee appointed by the directors. Employees, outside directors and consultants are eligible for the grant of options except for (i) employees of affiliates, and outside directors and consultants, who are not eligible for the grant of incentive stock options; and (ii) employees, outside directors and consultants of affiliates resident in the United States, who are not eligible for the grant of options. The exercise price of an incentive stock option is the fair market value of the shares at the date of the grant. In certain circumstances, the exercise price may be higher than the fair market value but in no event will the exercise price be below the par value of the share.
Prior to 2000, share options granted prior to May 1999 under the previous Employees’ Share Ownership Scheme were converted using the higher of par value or net tangible asset value. In April 2002, share options were granted with exercise prices determined by the average of the last 5-day closing prices prior to grant date. These two bases gave rise to exercise prices of the share options being lower than their fair market values at grant date and resulted in the recognition of stock compensation charges.
In connection with the merger with ChipPAC, the Company adopted the Substitute Purchase and Option Plan (“Substitute Option Plan”) and Substitute Equity Incentive Plan (“Substitute EIP”) (collectively the “Substitute Plans”) to enable substitute options to be granted to holders of options granted under the ChipPAC shares options and incentive plans. The number of ordinary shares that may be issued under the Substitute Option Plan and Substitute EIP, may not exceed, in the aggregate, 7.2 million and 73 million shares, respectively. On August 5, 2004, the Company effected an amendment to the Share Option Plan to increase the shares to be reserved for option plans to 245 million shares (subject to adjustment under the plan).
In August 2004, the Company adopted an employee share purchase plan (“ESPP”) for the benefit of its employers. A maximum aggregate of 130 million shares have been reserved for issuance under the ESPP. The ESPP qualifies in the United States under Section 423 of the United States for 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 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 ends on February 14, 2005. Share purchases are limited to 15.0% of an employee’s eligible compensation.

     (b) Contingent liabilities
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to claims and litigations. These claims may include allegations of infringement of intellectual property rights of others as well as other claims of liability. On July 31, 2002, Seagate Technology L.L.C. (“Seagate”) filed suit against Atmel Corporation and Atmel SARL in Santa Clara County Superior Court. Seagate alleges that Atmel supplied defective semiconductor chips, and that Atmel had its chips outsourced and packaged by ChipPAC and Amkor Technology, Inc. On November 19, 2003, Atmel filed a First Amended Cross-Complaint against ChipPAC, Amkor and Sumitomo Bakelite, Ltd., the Japanese manufacturer of the allegedly defective epoxy mold compound. On April 14, 2005, the Company reached a resolution with Seagate with respect to this litigation. As part of a broader settlement agreement among all parties to this matter, the Company had agreed to pay a fee in

consideration of a release from all claims related to this litigation. The amount related to the settlement is being paid by the Company’s insurer.
In February 2006, the Company, ChipPAC and STATS ChipPAC (BVI) Limited were named as defendants in a patent infringement lawsuit filed in United States Federal Court for the Northern District of California. The plaintiff, Tessera Technologies, Inc. (“Tessera”), has asserted that semiconductor chip packaging, specifically devices having ball grid array (“BGA”) and multi-chip BGA configurations used by the defendants infringe certain patents of Tessera. Tessera has further asserted that the Company is in breach of an existing license agreement between Tessera and ChipPAC, which agreement has been assigned by ChipPAC to the Company. The Company believes that it has a meritorious defense to the claims and intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously. Due to the inherent uncertainties of the lawsuit, the Company cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome. The final resolution of the lawsuit could result in significant liability and could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company.
In addition, the Company is subject to various taxes in the different jurisdictions in which it operates. These include taxes on income, property, goods and services, and other taxes. The Company submits tax returns and claims with the respective government taxing authorities, which are subject to agreement by those taxing authorities. The Company accrues costs associated with these matters when they are probable and reasonably estimable. The Company does not believe that it is probable that losses associated with these matters beyond those already recognized will be incurred in amounts that would be material to its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
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 $15,727 as of December 31, 2005) made by the South Korean National Tax Service, or 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 $2,620 as of December 31, 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 as of December 31, 2005 is estimated to be 31.6 billion South Korean Won (approximately $30,981 as of December 31, 2005). As of December 31, 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. The final outcome of the resolution of this matter could result in significant liability and could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates for fair value. Accordingly, these estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. Certain of these financial instruments are with major financial institutions and expose the Company to market and credit risks and may at times be concentrated with certain counterparties or groups of counterparties. The creditworthiness of counterparties is continually reviewed, and full performance is anticipated.
The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of significant classes of financial instruments is set forth below:
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are due on demand or carry a maturity date of less than three months when purchased. The carrying amount of these financial instruments is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Marketable securities
The fair value is estimated based upon the quoted market price on the last business day of the fiscal year. For securities where there are no quoted market prices, the carrying amount is assumed to be its fair value.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
In thousands of U.S. Dollars (except per share data)
Pledged fixed deposits
The fair value is based on current interest rates available to the Company for fixed deposits of similar terms and remaining maturities.
Short-term borrowings and long-term debts
The fair value is based on current interest rates available to the Company for issuance of debts of similar terms and remaining maturities.
Senior and convertible notes
The fair value is estimated by obtaining quotes from market and brokers.
Limitations
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, and are based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
27. Business Segment, Geographic and Major Customer Data
Operating segments, as defined under SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” (“SFAS 131”) are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has identified its individual geographic operating locations as its operating segments. All material geographical operating locations qualify for aggregation under SFAS 131 due to similarities in economic characteristics, nature of services, market base and production process. Accordingly, the operating segments have been aggregated into one reportable segment.

STATS CHIPPAC LTD.
NOTES TO THE UNCONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET
AS AT 31 DECEMBER 2005
In thousands of U.S. Dollars
1.   Background and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
(a)   Business and Organization
 
    STATS ChipPAC Ltd. (the “Company”) is incorporated in Singapore and its ordinary shares are listed on the Singapore Exchange (“SGX-ST”) and its American Depository Shares (“ADS”) are quoted on the NASDAQ National Market. The Company was formed in connection with the merger of ST Assembly Test Services Ltd (“STATS”) and ChipPAC, Inc. (“ChipPAC”), which was consummated on 5 August 2004. In the merger, former ChipPAC stockholders received 0.87 ADS of STATS for each share of ChipPAC Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, 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 share outstanding. As a result of the merger, ChipPAC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of STATS. The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method. Subsequent to the merger, STATS was renamed STATS ChipPAC Ltd.
 
    In 2005, a subsidiary, STATS ChipPAC, Inc. (formerly known as ST Assembly Test Services, Inc.) was merged into ChipPAC. The surviving entity was renamed STATS ChipPAC, Inc.
 
    In 2004, the Company’s Taiwan subsidiary, Winstek Semiconductor Corporation (“Winstek”), issued new shares to its employees as employee stock bonus and resulted in the dilution of the Company’s interest in Winstek from 55.0% to 54.5%. In 2005, 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.

13.   Income Taxes
 
    The Company was previously granted pioneer status under the Singapore Economic Expansion Incentives (Relief from Income Tax) Act, Chapter 86, 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 the Company’s pioneer status granted from 1 January 1996 to 31 December 2003. The Company’s pioneer trade was in an adjusted tax loss position due to the substantial amount of capital allowances claimed arising from capital expenditure on its plant and machinery and trade losses in certain years. As a result, the Company had not enjoyed any tax exemption in respect of its income arising from the pioneer activities. On the other hand, the Company had paid taxes in respect of its 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 for the revocation was approved by EDB. Accordingly, the Company recorded $5,039 of tax recoverable in 2004 related to expected tax 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, of which $4,559 has been refunded in 2005. The Company is in the process of working with the EDB for a new tax incentive for its Singapore operations.
 
    Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and (b) operating loss, unutilized capital allowance and investment tax credit carryforwards. The tax effect of significant items comprising the Company’s deferred income tax assets are as follows:
                 
    31 December  
    2004     2005  
Deferred income tax assets:
               
Operating loss carryforwards
  $     $ 4,780  
Property, plant and equipment
    16,842       32,551  
Others
    358       369  
 
           
 
    17,200       37,700  
Valuation allowance
    (7,283 )     (28,400 )
 
           
Net deferred income tax assets
  $ 9,917     $ 9,300  
 
           
Changes in stock ownership can result in a limitation on the amount of net operating loss that are available as carryforwards. The Company determined that it had undergone such ownership change during 2004 in connection with its merger with ChipPAC. In 2005, the limitations in connection with the merger with ChipPAC related to the carryforward of certain Singapore tax losses and capital allowances for offset against future taxable profits of the Company were waived by the Singapore tax authorities, subject to fulfillment of certain continuing conditions. Consequently, approximately $21,685 of such tax loss and capital allowance carryforwards were recognized as deferred tax assets in 2005. As at 31 December 2005, the Company has approximately $23,908 and $280,500 of tax loss carryforwards and unutilized capital allowances, which can be used to offset income tax payable in future years.

Seagate alleges that Atmel supplied defective semiconductor chips, and that Atmel had its chips outsourced and packaged by ChipPAC and Amkor Technology, Inc. On 19 November 2003, Atmel filed a First Amended Cross-Complaint against ChipPAC, Amkor and Sumitomo Bakelite, Ltd., the Japanese manufacturer of the allegedly defective epoxy mold compound. On 14 April 2005, the Company reached a resolution with Seagate with respect to this litigation. As part of a broader settlement agreement among all parties to this matter, the Company had agreed to pay a fee in consideration of a release from all claims related to this litigation. The amount related to the settlement is being paid by the Company’s insurer.

    In February 2006, the Company, ChipPAC and STATS ChipPAC (BVI) Limited were named as defendants in a patent infringement lawsuit filed in United States Federal Court for the Northern District of California. The plaintiff, Tessera Technologies, Inc. (“Tessera”), has asserted that semiconductor chip packaging, specifically devices having ball grid array (“BGA”) and multi-chip BGA configurations used by the defendants infringe certain patents of Tessera. Tessera has further asserted that the Company is in breach of an existing license agreement between Tessera and ChipPAC, which agreement has been assigned by ChipPAC to the Company. The Company believes that it has a meritorious defense to the claims and intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously. Due to the inherent uncertainties of the lawsuit, the Company cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome. The final resolution of the lawsuit could result in significant liability and could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the operations of the Company.
 
    In addition, the Company is subject to various taxes in the different jurisdictions in which it operates. These include taxes on income, property, goods and services, and other taxes. The Company submits tax returns and claims with the respective government taxing authorities, which are subject to agreement by those taxing authorities. The Company accrues costs associated with these matters when they are probable and reasonably estimable. The Company does not believe that it is probable that losses associated with these matters beyond those already recognized will be incurred in amounts that would be material to its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
