Shareholders are advised to consolidate the odd share of less than one share to make up one share by their own means for registration within 5 days  as of the base date for distribution of new shares. Where the insufficient and inadequate part will be paid in cash by the par value. The board of directors has authorized the chairman to assign a specific person to purchase odd shares of less than one share.

Item 2  (Proposed by the Board of Directors)
 
Proposal:
To meet the requirements for larger production capacity in future the Company

needs to enrich its operation capital in order to repay bank loans or the needs for other long-term development use, thereby enabling the fund-raising channels more diversified and flexible. As such, the shareholders’ meeting is requested to authorize the board of directors to opt at the optimal time, depending on the market situation and the status of capital needs of the Company and in accordance with existing laws and regulations, for capital increase in cash by issuing common shares or joining the issuance of GDR (Global depository receipts) or domestic capital increase in cash or issuance of domestic or ECB  to raise fund. The case is being presented for discussions.
 
Explanation:
1.
The principles to authorize the board of directors to issue new common shares and GDR for capital increase in cash shall be as follows:
   
 
    1.1 Issuance of common shares in the form GDR for capital increase in cash shall be limited to 500,000,000 shares only. The shareholders’ meeting shall authorize the board of directors and the chairman of the board to make the adjustment by the market condition and issue the authorized GDR’s all at once.
 
    1.2 In conducting issuance of new shares in the form of GDR for capital increase in cash , the issuance price shall be by the rules set forth in the Self-discipline Rules Concerning Subscription and Issuance of Securities by the Issuing Company Member Underwriters Have Assisted in the Process, i.e., the issuance price shall not be lower than the closing price of the Company’s common stock at the domestic open market. Take the simple arithmetic mean of the closing price of the common share on the first, third and fifth day prior to the price-setting day, minus 90% of the average stock price after gratuitous ex-rights and ex-interest, then comes the price for the new issue. However, the price-setting method may be duly adjusted if related domestic laws and regulations are updated. Since the stock price at home has often experience drastic volatility in the short run, the chairman of the board is authorized to set the actual issuance price  within the above-mentioned price range, after having consulted with underwriter taking into consideration the international general practice, international capital market, domestic market price, the overall subscription status so as to make the offering price attractive to overseas investors. Consequently, the price-setting method should be reasonable. Additionally, the deciding method for the issuance price of  GDR is based on the fair trading price of common shares at the domestic open market whereas the original stockholder may purchase the common shares at domestic stock exchange at the price close to the issuance price of the GDR, without bearing the exchange rate risk and liquidity risk. Moreover, the tranche of issuance of new shares and GRD for capital increase in cash do not affect much of the shareholders’ equity as the highest dilution ratio in relation to the original shareholders’ equity stands only at 10.81%.
 
    1.3 10% of common shares issued for capital increase in cash shall, according to Article 267 of The Company Act, be reserved for subscription by company  employees and the remaining 90% will be fully appropriated for open issuance as the securities for GDR as the original shareholders have waived their rights for subscription in accordance with Article 28-1 of the Securities Trading Act.  For the part that employees have not subscribed, the chairman of the board is authorized to contact specific party for purchase or, depending on the market requirements, list as the original securities for participation in the issuance of GDR.

Implementation of the said plan is expected to intensify the Company’s competitiveness, enhance the benefit of the operation efficiency, producing positive benefit to shareholders.

    1.9 For matters that are not covered herein, the board of directors may, in accordance with law, proceed at its discretion.
 
 
2.
The principles to authorize the board of directors to conduct capital increase in cash at home shall be as follows:
 
    2.1 Number of new shares issued for capital increase in cash shall not be in excess of 500,000,000 shares.

Business Report
 
As we look back over 2006, it is very apparent that the packaging industry continued the growth trend which started in 2005, steadily growing over the course of the year. The testing industry, however, experienced massive growth in 2006 compared to 2005, thanks in short to the tremendous demand that supply was unable to meet in full. In short, the production value of the packaging industry in Taiwan grossed NT$210.8 billion, or an 18.4% growth over 2005 while the production value of the testing industry netted NT$92.4 billion, showing a massive growth of 36.9% over 2005. In recent years, globalization has increasingly become an international economic trend, driving businesses to focus on the needs of their global customers while quickly responding to volatile market dynamics. In order to meet emerging market trends of the global electronic industry, we have put in place major initiatives, which aim to aggressively expand our operational territory while building up our international competitiveness. Such initiatives are key to ASE’s continued market leadership, enabling the company to further pull away from our competitors. The following is our report on the company’s operation for the past year:

Operation results of 2006

       1.    Implementation results of business plan for 2006
The Company’s consolidated net revenue in 2006 stood at NT$100.4 billion, an increase of NT$16.4 billion, or close to 20% growth compared to 2005.
In anticipation of increasing demand for DRAM connected with the launch of the Microsoft’s Vista, we joined hands in 2006 with Powerchip Semiconductor Corp. to form Power ASE Technology, stepping into the DDR2 packaging market and enhancing our existing package portfolio. In another major move, we also spun out the packaging materials business of the group, and established the independently operated ASE Electronics, Inc. These two entities remain under the ASE Group umbrella, meeting emerging market needs and trends. Additionally, we successfully applied to appropriate government regulatory agencies for the acquisition of Global Advanced Packaging Technology on Mainland China, becoming the first approved Taiwan-based firm to engage in low-end IC packaging and testing in China. It is an exciting time for ASE, with the company making forays into new markets, and successfully striving to meet the many opportunities and challenges which globalization and the digital economy present.

Until the end of 2006, the Company’s paid-in capital stood at NT$45,925,086 thousands, shareholders’ equity at NT$66,019,899 thousands, accounting for 65% of the total assets of NT$100,852,040 thousands while the ratio of long-term capital accounted for 246% of the fixed assets and current ratio was 131%. In other words, the financial structure and credit standing of the Company for this year have obviously improved compared to the last term. The after-tax net profit and operating benefit were NT$17,416,151 thousands and NT$12,577,064 thousands respectively. In short, performance of the overall operating results and profitability was far better than the previous term.

4.   Status of research and development
ASE has an extremely talented and highly-dedicated R&D team, completely focused on creating the best possible packaging and test solutions. Over the past year, System-in-Package (SiP) has increasing become the advanced configuration of choice, especially for customers looking for thinner, smaller and high-performance packages. The team is also focused on the development of integration solutions of various positive and passive components, sensors and actuators. The R&D continues to see good progress, specifically related to some new technologies successfully developed in 2006. These include RDL electroplated thick copper technology, DDR2 800 packaging and testing project, 65 nano Cu manufacturing process/lead-free flip chip packaging and welding wire packaging of ultra-low dielectric coefficient wafer, low-temperature PI manufacturing process technology, flip chip and blended welding wire stack technology, 2-layer stack chip scale packaging, lead frame flip chip QFN and external leadless Map PoP stack technology. Given the strong demand for PC, communications and consumer electronic products, the Company continues to contribute to the R&D of related equipment and advanced packaging and testing technologies such as flip chip, BGA, CSP and SiP, in order to maintain our global leading position in the industry.

Overview of operation plan for 2007
1.   Operation guidelines
To provide our customers extremely high quality service;
To create long-term and steady profit for both the company and customers;
To jointly create promising future with our contractors;
To train employees to become leaders of the particular field they are hired for;
To treat our employees fairly and squarely;
To provide our employees a working environment featured by “harmony, pleasantness and openness”; and
 
 
- 14 -

 
To maintain flexibility as much as we can in routine operation.

2.   Estimated sales volume and basis for the estimate
Based on the overall economic condition, future market need, and the production capacity of the Company, we estimate our 2007 sales as follows:

Sales Items
Estimated Sales Volume
Packaging
Approx. 4.9 billion pcs
Testing
Approx. 800 million pcs

3.   Important production and marketing policy
In recent years, most 3C electronic product components have relied on high-end packaging. In the circumstances where global expansion of high-end packaging production capacity is limited, we estimate that the packaging and testing market uptick could last all the way to 2008. According to an IEK report focused on 2006 IC production value of Taiwan, the macro direction of continuous growth in 2007 remains unchanged, judging by the overall packaging and testing industry at present. With the approach of 2008 Olympics, it is estimated that related demand will not abate and, as such, growth of the packaging and testing industry in the immediate two years could be very promising.

Company’s Future development strategy

According to statistics released by iSuppli, global sales of semiconductor in 2007 will see 10.6% growth compared to 2006, grossing from US$258.5 billion to US$285.8 billon. The future of the semiconductor industry looks promising for ASE, primarily due to the steady market for electronic equipment and the steady average selling price for chips. The strongest growth sectors are estimated to include data processing, radio communications, and consumer electronic products. iSuppli forecasts that the sale growth of semiconductor will slow down to 8.7% in 2008, reaching the bottom of 3.7% in 2009 and bouncing back to 7.4% in 2010. This trend of mild cyclic fluctuation reflects that the momentum of the semiconductor industry has changed as the average growth rate of the semiconductor industry has continued to drop in the past decade until it stabilized at 7-9%.
In this respect, we are glad to say that this Company fully embraced 2007, and all that it offers We have strengthened our structure to respond to the ever-changing global environment and positioned ourselves in the packaging and testing industry.

Impact brought upon by external competitive environment, law enforcement environment and economic environment
 
 
- 15 -


 
Going forward, ASE has strategically positioned itself to aggressively and effectively meet the demands and challenges presented by the advent of globalization. With the exception of few giant chip makers, the size of other semiconductor makers is relatively small. We estimate that M&As will become a natural trend for the industry in the near future. ASE will continue  review any interested parties, as the Company understands that the global integration for the semiconductor industry will accelerate the growth and expansion of our company so that we may expect to create even higher profit for our shareholders, thus realizing the consistent goal and expectation of the management team.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of income, 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 audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China.  Those rules and 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, the requirements of the Business Accounting Law and Guidelines Governing Business Accounting relevant to financial accounting standards, and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company split the related operation, assets, and liabilities of its material segment into its subsidiary, Advanced Semiconductor Engineering Electronics Inc. on August 1, 2006, and acquired 294,930 thousand shares issued by this subsidiary.  The related operating income (loss) of the separated material segment for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 has been reflected as separated segment in the statements of income mentioned in the first paragraph.

As discussed in Note 29 to the financial statements, the Company incurred fire damage to its production lines and facilities in Chung Li, Taiwan on May 1, 2005. The Company recognized an estimated loss of NT$11,849,699 thousand for the damage to its inventories, building, machinery and equipment, less NT$4,616,000 thousand of insurance receivable in 2005.  The Company reached final settlement with the insurers in June 2006 with regards to the fire damage referred to above.  The final settlement amount of NT$7,190,524 thousand, offset by the NT$4,616,000 thousand recorded in 2005 and the related repair and restoring expenses of NT$1,043,262 thousand, was recorded in the current period.  The Company also reversed NT$2,009,102 thousand of previously recorded impairment changes on these fire-damaged building, machinery and equipment due to subsequent value increase.  Net amount of NT$3,540,364 thousand was recognized as a

Consolidated Financial Statements for the
Years Ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006 and
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



- 34 -


REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Republic of China) and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2006, all expressed in New Taiwan dollars.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China and the Standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those rules and 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2005 and 2006, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, the requirements of the Business Accounting Law and Guidelines Governing Business Accounting relevant to financial accounting standards, and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.

As discussed in Note 29 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred fire damage to its production line and facilities in Chung Li, Taiwan on May 1, 2005.  The Company recognized an estimated loss of NT$13,479,079 thousand for the damage to its inventories, building, machinery and equipment, net of NT$4,641,000 thousand (US$142,406 thousand) of insurance receivable in 2005.  The Company reached final settlement with the insurers in June 2006 with regards to the fire damage referred to above.  The final settlement amount of NT$8,068,000 thousand (US$247,561 thousand), less the NT$4,641,000 thousand recorded in 2005 and the related repair and restoring expenses of NT$1,043,132 thousand (US$32,008 thousand), was recorded as a gain in 2006.  The Company also reversed NT$2,190,583 thousand (US$67,217 thousand) of previously recorded impairment charges on these fire-damaged building, machinery and equipment due to an increase in the estimated service potential of the assets.  Net amount of NT$4,574,451 thousand (US$140,364 thousand) was recognized as a gain on insurance settlement and impairment recovery.

- 35 -


As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted the Republic of China Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 34 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”, No. 36 “Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation” and other revised Statements on January 1, 2006.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China differ in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in Note 31 to the consolidated financial statements.

Our audits also comprehended the translation of New Taiwan dollar amounts into U.S. dollar amounts and, in our opinion, such translation has been made in conformity with the basis stated in Note 2.  Such U.S. dollar amounts are presented solely for the convenience of the readers.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated April 30, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
