Our report contains an explanatory paragraph that states that as further described in Notes 14 and 27(g) to the financial statements, Inotera Memories Inc. did not maintain a minimum current ratio of 1:1 and a maximum debt to equity ratio of 1.5:1 at December 31, 2011, as part of the financial covenants originally required of Inotera Memories Inc. under its syndicated bank loan agreements. On June 8, 2012, the syndicate banks formally agreed to waive the requirement of the Company to comply with its financial loan covenants for the financial statement year ended December 31, 2011. However, the Company was unable to maintain the same ratios as of June 30, 2012 and has until November 30, 2012 to cure the breach. In July 2012, the Company has submitted a request for a waiver from complying with these financial covenants, so that the managing bank can convene a meeting of the Banks to consider whether to grant such waiver. The potential consequences to the Company of a violation of any of its financial covenants pursuant to its syndicated bank loan agreements are also described in Notes 19(b)(iii) and 27(g) to the financial statements.

Our report contains an explanatory paragraph that states effective January 1, 2009, Inotera Memories Inc. adopted the newly revised SFAS No. 10 “Inventories”, under which, the unallocated fixed overhead and direct labor cost of NT$12,903,228 thousand and gain from price recovery of inventories of NT$1,767,684 thousand were charged to costs of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2009.
