Independent Auditors’ Report

 

The Board of Directors, Supervisors, and Shareholders

of Integrated Circuit Solution Incorporation

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Integrated Circuit Solution Incorporation as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the financial statements of Key Stream Corp. and E-NITIATOR Inc. as at and for the years ended December 31, 2004 and Integrated Circuit Solution Inc. (Hong Kong) Limited, Key Stream Corp. and E-NITIATOR Inc. as at and for the years ended December 31, 2003. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amount included for long-term investment in the above investee companies is based solely on the reports of other auditors. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company’s long-term investment balance in the above investee companies amounted to NT$32,536 thousand and NT$43,072 thousand (including credit balance offset by receivables from related parties of NT$27,346 thousand), which represented 0.86% and 1.06% of total assets, respectively. The related investment loss amounted to NT$47,582 thousand and NT$36,677 thousand, which represented (74.91%) and 26.03% of the gain (loss) before income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit and the reports of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Integrated Circuit Solution Incorporation as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the Republic of China.

 

As described in Note 9 to the financial statements, a board meeting, held on January 25, 2005, has resolved to have Integrated Circuit Solution Incorporation merged with Integrated Silicon Solution (Taiwan), Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Integrated Silicon Solution (USA), Inc. Integrated Circuit Solution Incorporation will be dissolved and go out of existence after the merger. The merger will become effective in the resolutions from both the shareholders’ meetings of Integrated Circuit Solution Incorporation and Integrated Silicon Solution (Taiwan), Inc. and needs an approval from government authorities.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Organizations and Business

 

Integrated Circuit Solution Incorporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Hsinchu Science-Based Industrial Park (“HSIP”), Taiwan on September 10, 1990. The Company operates principally as a designer, manufacturer and supplier of integrated circuits. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company’s employees totaled 210 and 241, respectively.

 

Effective from January 16, 2002, the Company’s stock is listed on the R.O.C. Over-the-Counter Securities Exchange. As described in Notes 9 to the financial statements, the Company will be merged with Integrated Silicon Solution (Taiwan) Inc., a 100% owned subsidiary of Integrated Silicon Solution (USA) Inc. The Company will be dissolved and go out of existence after the merger. Thus, if the Company goes out of existence because of the merger, its stock is no longer to be listed and traded on the R.O.C. Over-the-Counter Securities Exchange.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with R.O.C.’s “Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuer” and generally accepted accounting standards. Significant accounting policies are summarized as follows:

 

Translation of foreign currency transactions

 

The accounts of the Company are maintained in New Taiwan Dollars (“NT Dollars” or “NT$”), the functional currency. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into New Taiwan Dollars at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Receivables, other monetary assets, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into New Taiwan Dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Foreign exchange gains or losses are included in non-operating income or expenses.

 

Long-term foreign investments accounted for under the cost method are translated into NT Dollars using the prevailing exchange rates at acquisition date or balance sheet date whichever is lower. Any difference is charged to the cumulative translation adjustments account.

 

For long-term foreign investments accounted for under the equity method, their financial statements are first translated into NT Dollars. The Company then recognizes the investment gain or loss and translation adjustment based on the translated financial statements. For the translation, the current rate at the balance sheet date is used for asset and liability accounts. The weighted average rate for the reporting period is used for the income statement accounts. Translation adjustments are included as a component of shareholders’ equity.

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and are so close to their maturity that they present insignificant risk to changes in interest rates. Commercial papers, negotiable certificates of deposit, and bank acceptances with original maturities of three months or less at the investment date are considered to be cash equivalents.

 

Short- term investments

 

Short-term investments are recorded at cost when acquired and are stated at the lower of aggregate cost or market value at the balance sheet date. The market value of listed equity securities or closed-end funds is determined by the average closing price during the last month of the fiscal period. The market value for open-ended funds is determined by their equity value as reported at the balance sheet date. No revenue is recognized when stock dividends are received. Instead, the number of shares increases and the cost per share is recalculated.

 

Allowance for doubtful accounts

 

The allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on the collectibility and aging analysis of notes and accounts receivable and other receivables.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are recorded at cost when acquired and stated at the lower of aggregate cost, based on weighted average method, or market value at the balance sheet date. The market value of raw materials and supplies is determined on the basis of replacement cost while finished goods on net realizable value. The lower of cost or market rule is applied on aggregate basis to total inventory. The allowance for loss on decline in market value and obsolescence is provided, when necessary.

 

Long-term investments

 

(1) Long-term investments in which the Company holds less than 20% of the outstanding voting shares of the investee companies are stated at cost except for investments in listed companies which are stated at lower of cost or market value. The unrealized loss on long-term investments is recorded as a contra equity account.

Notes To Financial Statements (continued)

 

(2) Long-term investments in which the Company holds an interest of 20% or more and has the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The difference between the cost of the investment and the underlying equity in the investee’s net assets at the date of acquisition is amortized over five years. Adjustment to capital reserve is required when holding percentage changes due to unproportional subscription to investee’s new shares. If the capital reserve is insufficient, retained earnings is adjusted.

 

(3) Unrealized inter-company gains and losses are eliminated under the equity method. Profit from sales of depreciable assets between the investee and the Company is amortized and recognized based on the assets’ economic service lives. Profit from other types of inter-company transactions is recognized when realized.

 

(4) If the Company’s share of an investee company’s losses equals to or exceeds the carrying amount of an investment accounted for under the equity method, the recognized investment losses shall be limited to the extent that makes the book value of a long-term investment equal to zero. However, if the Company intends to provide further financial support for the investee company, or the investee company’s losses are temporary and there exists sufficient evidence showing imminent return to profitable operations, then the Company shall continue to recognize investment losses in proportion to the stock ownership percentage. Such credit long-term investment balance shall first offset the advance (if any) the Company made to the investee company; the remaining shall be recorded under other liabilities.

 

(5) Consolidated financial statements are prepared if the Company owns more than 50% of the equity investee’s shares. However, the financial statements of any subsidiary in which the total assets and total revenue for the current year are less than 10% of those of the Company are not included in the consolidated financial statements. If the sum of the total assets or operating revenues of all unconsolidated subsidiaries exceeds 30% of the Company’s assets or operating revenues, each unconsolidated subsidiary with or over 3% of operating revenues or assets of the Company should be consolidated.

Property, plant and equipment

 

(1) Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Improvements and replacements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives, while ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When property, plant and equipment are disposed of, their original cost and accumulated depreciation are written off and related gain or loss is recorded under non-operating income or expenses. The net book value of assets leased to others is reclassified and recorded under other assets. Depreciation for assets leased to others is recorded under non-operating expenses.

 

(2) Property, plant and equipment which are still in use after their estimated economic service lives are depreciated over their remaining estimated service lives based on their salvage value. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis over the following useful lives:

 

Buildings & facility

   2 - 50  Years

Machinery

   3 -5  Years

Furniture & fixtures

   2 - 8  Years

Vehicles

   Years

Miscellaneous equipment

   2 -10  Years

Research and development equipment

   3 - 5  Years

 

Lease payment receivable

 

For lease contracts that are qualified as capital lease, the lease payment receivable includes the cost of the leased property and unearned interest revenue. Unearned interest revenue is treated as a contra account of the lease payment receivable and amortized to interest revenue over the lease term by applying the effective interest method.

 

Deferred charges

 

Deferred charges, including mask and computer software, are stated at cost when acquired and amortized on a straight-line basis over 2-5 years.

Convertible bonds payable

 

(1) The interest-premium of puttable convertible bonds, which is the difference between the specified put price and the par value, is amortized using the interest method and is recognized as a liability over the period from the issuance date of the bonds to the expiry date of the put option. If the bondholder does not exercise the put option, the interest-premium, which has been recognized as a liability, is amortized over the period from the expiry date to the maturity date using the interest method. However, if at the expiry date, the market value of the common stock under conversion exceeds the put price, the interest-premium should be credited to additional paid-in capital.

 

(2) When bondholders exercise their conversion rights, the book value of convertible bonds is credited to common stock at an amount equal to the par value of the common stock and the excess is credited to capital reserve; no gain or loss is recognized on bond conversion.

 

(3) The cost of issuing convertible bonds is recorded as deferred assets and is amortized over the period from the issuance date of the convertible bonds and the expiry date of the put option.

 

Income taxes

 

Provision for income tax includes deferred tax resulting from temporary differences and investment tax credits. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the difference is expected to reverse. Valuation allowance on deferred tax assets is provided to the extent that it is more likely than not that the tax benefits will not be realized.

 

Income taxes (10%) on unappropriated earnings generated starting January 1, 1998 are recorded as expense in the year when the shareholders have resolved that the earnings shall be retained.

 

Tax credit is accounted for in accordance with the R.O.C. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.12 “Accounting for Income Tax Credit”. Income tax credits resulting from the acquisition of equipment, research and development expenditures, employee training and investment in equity stock shall be recognized in the period when it is incurred.

 

Revenue recognition

 

Revenue is recognized in accordance with R.O.C. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 32, “Accounting for Revenue Recognition.”

Capital expenditures vs. revenue expenditures

 

If the expenditure increases the future service potential of the assets and the purchase price exceeds a certain monetary threshold, the expenditure is capitalized, while the others are expensed as incurred.

 

Employee retirement benefits

 

The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its employees. In accordance with the R.O.C. Labor Standards Law, the Company made a monthly contribution equal to 2 % of the wages and salaries paid during the period to a pension fund maintained with the Central Trust of China. The fund, established in 1991 to meet employee’s retirement benefit entitlements, is administered by the Employees’ Retirement Fund Committee and is deposited under the committee’s name. Therefore, the pension fund is not included in the financial statements of the Company.

 

The Company adopted, on a prospective basis, R.O.C. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 18, “Accounting for Pensions” in 1996. The Statement requires that the pension plan assets and the benefit obligations be determined on an actuarial basis. Asset gains and losses not yet reflected in market-related value are amortized on a straight-line basis over the employees’ average remaining service period of about thirteen years.

 

Earnings per share

 

In accordance with R.O.C. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 24, “Earnings Per Share,” the Company presents basic earnings per share if a simple capital structure exists; or both basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share if a complex capital structure exists. Basic earnings per share equals to the net income (loss) attributable to common stock divided by the weighted-average number of common shares. When calculating diluted earnings per share, the numerator should include or add back potential common stock dividends, interest and other conversion revenues (expenses). The denominator should include all potentially dilutive common shares.

 

Derivative financial instrument

 

(1) Option contracts:

 

For foreign currencies options, premiums are amortized over the contract lives using the straight-line method. Gains and losses are dealt with in the statement of operations upon exercise. The book value of selling or buying foreign-exchange option contract on trading purpose is adjusted to its fair value as at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses are dealt with in the statement of operations.

Notes To Financial Statements (continued)

 

(2) Foreign exchange forward contracts:

 

A forward currency exchange contract obligates the Company to exchange predetermined amounts of specified foreign currencies at specified exchange rates for another currency on a specified date. The Company’s forward contracts are designated as hedges; discounts or premiums, being the difference between the spot exchange rate and the forward exchange rate at the inception of the contract, are accreted or amortized to the statement of operations over the contract lives using the straight-line method. Realized gains and losses from settlement or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the spot exchange rate at the balance sheet date are recorded in the consolidated statement of income as foreign exchange gains or losses. Receivable and payable resulting from forward exchange contracts are presented, on a net basis, in the balance sheet under other current assets or liabilities.

 

Compensating employees’ stock option plan

 

Effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted intrinsic value method for its compensating employees’ stock option plans. Under the method, the excess of the market price over exercise price at the plan date is adjusted under shareholders’ equity and expensed over grantee’s service periods. Disclosure of pro forma information for net income and earnings per share using fair value method is required.

 

3. Reasons and Effects of Changes in Accounting

 

(1) Effective January 1, 2004, required by Taiwan Securities and Future Commission, the Company adopted accounting treatment of intrinsic value method for its compensating employees’ stock option plans. Such adoption does not impact the Company’s net income and shareholders’ equity for the year ended December 31, 2004. Please refer to note 4 (16) to the financial statements for information of pro forma net income and earning per share.

 

(2) In year 2004, the Company increased its long-term equity investment in AVICLINK, which results in the accounting method changing from cost method to equity method. The carrying amount of investment in AVICLINK is not retroactively adjusted. The differential between investment cost and acquired investee equity is amortized over five years beginning in 2004. Due to the dissolution of AVICLINK according to its board meeting resolution on December 6, 2004, the Company assessed that the investment in AVICLINK was no longer to be recovered. Thus, the change in accounting has no effect on the Company’s statement of operation and shareholders’ equity for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Credit risk amount represents contracts with positive fair value factoring in the offsetting effect of the master netting arrangement as of balance sheet date. If the credit risk amount is positive and the transaction party breaches the contract, the Company will incur a loss. The possibility for incurring a loss from buying options was controlled to a minimum level since the counter-parties were those banks with great reputation. There were no credit risks for selling options.

  b. Market value risk

 

Market value risks for derivative financial instruments, which were for the purpose of hedging, were to offset with the risks from hedged object.

 

The Company has the right to decide if the contacts are executed or not. Thus, premium paid is the maximum potential market risk of buying options.

 

Selling options is theoretically of unlimited market risk resulting from the buyer has the right to execute the contracts depending on the rate of exchange is favorable or not. However, market value risk shall be considered low because the Company has carefully evaluated the contracted executive rate of exchange.

 

  c. Liquidity risk

 

Major liquidity risk was related to selling options. The Company has sufficient foreign currency position, mainly including US dollars, to copy with the cash flows to settle the option contracts.

 

  d. Types of derivative financial instruments, purpose of holding the derivative financial instruments and the strategy for achieving the hedging purpose

 

The Company’s derivative financial instruments were held for trading and hedging purpose. The purpose of holding forward exchange contracts and buying foreign currency options was to hedge exchange rate fluctuation risk resulting from assets, liabilities or commitments denominated in foreign currency. The Company’s hedging strategy is to avoid majority of market price risk. Derivative financial instruments selected for hedging are highly anti-co-related with the fluctuation of the fair value of the hedged items. Derivatives are evaluated periodically to reflect their fair values. The main purpose of issuing options was to offset the cost of buying options while the Company was exposed to an unlimited risk of fluctuation of currency exchange due to the selling options.

Methods and assumptions used to measure the fair value of financial instruments are as follows:

 

  a. The fair value of the Company’s short-term financial instruments is based on the book value of those instruments at reporting date due to the short maturity of those instruments. The method applied to cash and cash equivalents, receivable (including receivable from related parties), other financial assets, short-term debt, short-term notes, trade payable (including payable to related parties), income tax payable and other payable.

 

  b. The fair value of the Company’s marketable securities is based on market prices at reporting date if market prices are available. The fair value of the Company’s marketable securities is based on financial or any other information if market prices are not available.

 

  c. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debts bearing variable interests, which includes current portion of long-term debt, is estimated using the book value of the debt at reporting date.

 

  d. The fair values of the Company’s refundable deposit, restricted assets and guarantee deposit received are based on the book value of those instruments at reporting date due to the amount estimated of those instruments was similar with the book value.

 

  e. The fair value of the Company’s lease payment receivable is based on the present value of future cash flow. The interest rate that makes the present value of the lease payment receivable is lessor’s interest rate implicit in the lease.

 

  f. The fair value of the Company’s convertible bonds payable is based on market prices.

 

  g. The fair value of derivative financial instruments, normally includes unrealized gain or loss from outstanding contracts, is assumed to be the predicted amount that the Company is entitled to receive or obligated to pay if the Company terminated contracts at the balance sheet date.

 

(3) Others

 

  a. The Company invested in Zhi-Tong in amount of NT$100,000 thousand in the Year 2000. Zhi-Tong planed to change its capital plan afterwards. The Company did not agree with the new plan and, therefore, asked Zhi-Tong for a refund of whole investment amount. However, only NT$66,500 thousand was refunded by Zhi-Tong. Although the Company has obtained a payment order from District Court of Taipei, the Company also recorded the uncollected amount as an overdue receivable and, in a conservative way, provided 100% allowance. In year 2004, the Company took back NT$22,130 thousand from Zhi-Tong due to its liquidation and recorded such amount in non-operating income-others.

 

  b. Certain accounts in the financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2003 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented to illustrate the effects of the acquisition by ISSI of ICSI. A pro forma condensed balance sheet is not provided as our 10-Q for the period ending June 30, 2005 already reflected the combined results. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004 were prepared as if the acquisition had occurred as of September 30, 2003. The pro forma statements of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, include the historical results of the Company and ICSI plus the effect of recurring amortization of the related intangible assets. Such pro forma results do not purport to be indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition been made as of those dates or the results which may occur in the future.

 

The unaudited pro forma financial adjustments are based upon available information and assumptions that ISSI believes are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma adjustments to reflect the allocation of the purchase price are based upon the preliminary information which may be revised as additional information becomes available. The notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements provide a more detailed discussion of how such adjustments were derived and presented in the pro forma financial statements. Such financials statements have been compiled from historical financial statements and other information, but do not purport to represent what ISSI’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the transactions occurred on the dates indicated, or to project ISSI’s financial performance for any future periods.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements

 

1. Description of Transaction

 

On January 25, 2005 the Company announced its intention to acquire ICSI. ICSI is a public company in Taiwan and trades on the Gre Tai Securities Market (OTC). Prior to this transaction, ISSI owned approximately 29% of ICSI and two ISSI directors, Mr. Lee and Mr. Tanigami, held seats on the board of ICSI. In addition, ISSI owned approximately $3.8 million of ICSI convertible debentures at March 31, 2005.

 

In the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company purchased additional shares of ICSI in the open market for approximately $31.6 million increasing its ownership percentage to approximately 61% at June 30, 2005. The total purchase price, including the previous investment of $8.5 million, was $40.1 million. On May 1, 2005, ISSI assumed effective control of ICSI. Mr. Lee was elected Chairman of the ICSI board on May 6, 2005. On April 28, 2005, ISSI and ICSI executed loan documents whereby ISSI would loan $15 million to ICSI, of which $13 million had been funded and was outstanding as of June 30, 2005. ICSI agreed to collateralize the loan with a mortgage on its building in Taiwan and the lien documents were effective April 28, 2005. Effective May 1, 2005, ICSI management began formally reporting to ISSI. As a result of these events, and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, ISSI began consolidating the financial results of ICSI with its own results as of May 1, 2005.

 

On July 22, 2005, ISSI commenced an offer to purchase up to all of the outstanding shares of ICSI which it did not already own for cash of approximately $38 million (NT$13.75 per share) (the “Offer”). The Offer was conducted solely outside of the United States to non-U.S. stockholders. The Offer closed on August 11, 2005. Pursuant to the Offer, ISSI acquired an aggregate of 38.5 million shares of ICSI stock at an aggregate price of $16.6 million. Including the shares purchased in the Offer, as of August 11, 2005, ISSI held approximately 78% of the shares of ICSI. Following the closing of the Offer, ICSI has filed an application with the Gre Tai Securities Market for the delisting of its shares from trading on the exchange. After the delisting, which is expected to occur during the fourth quarter of 2005, there will be no active trading market for the ICSI shares. ISSI plans to acquire the remaining shares of ICSI that it does not already own from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions.

 

2. Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

 

In the June 2005 quarter, the Company consolidated the ICSI May and June financial results and allocated the current portion of the purchase price. The valuation and purchase allocation is preliminary and is subject to further adjustment. The allocation of the purchase price of ICSI includes both tangible assets and acquired intangible assets including both developed technology and in-process research and development (IPR&D). The amounts allocated to IPR&D were expensed in the Company’s quarter ending June 30, 2005, as they were deemed to have no future alternative value. The purchase price allocation, including an additional charge to IPR&D, will increase in the September 2005 quarter when ISSI acquires additional shares of ICSI.

 

The estimated purchase price allocation as of June 30, 2005 is as follows (in thousands):

 

Net tangible assets

   $ 35,831  

Intangible assets:

        

In-process technology

     1,480  

Developed technology

     3,024  

Other amortizable intangible assets

     323  

Goodwill

     13,342  

Minority interest

     (13,885 )
    


Total estimated purchase price allocation

   $ 40,115

The developed technology is being amortized over lives ranging from four to six years and the other amortizable intangible assets are being amortized over lives ranging from six months to five years.

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the net tangible and intangible assets. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill is not amortized but will be tested for impairment at least annually.

 

3. Pro Forma Adjustments

 

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are as follows:

 

  A) To record the amortization of intangibles

 

  B) To eliminate intercompany sales and cost of sales.

 

  C) To reverse equity interest related to ICSI included on ISSI’s books.

 

  D) To reverse the effect of the write-off of in process technology valued at $1,480,000.

 

  E) To reverse 2 months amortization of intangibles included in the consolidated ISSI financials for the 9 months ended June 30, 2005.

 

  F) To eliminate 2 months of ICSI included in the consolidated ISSI financials for the 9 months ended June 30, 2005.
