NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. Interim Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation. The condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures
as of March 31, 2006 and for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 are unaudited, pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations. In our opinion, these financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the interim
periods. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our latest annual report as
of December 31, 2005 filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for the full year. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to
conform to the current presentation.
Use of Estimates. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S.),
using managements best estimates and judgments where appropriate. These estimates and judgments
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The estimates and judgments will also affect
the reported amounts for certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ materially from these estimates and judgments.
Income Taxes. We operate in and file income tax returns in various U.S. and foreign
jurisdictions which are subject to examination by tax authorities. For our larger foreign
operations, our tax returns have been examined through 1999 in Korea, through 2001 in the
Philippines and through 2002 in Taiwan and Japan. Our U.S. tax returns have been examined
through 2003. Tax returns for open years in all jurisdictions are subject to change upon
examination.
During 2005, the IRS commenced an examination of our U.S. federal income tax returns for
years 2002 and 2003, which primarily focused on inter-company transfer pricing and cost-sharing
issues carried over from 2000 and 2001 examination. The IRS proposed four adjustments, and in
2005, we agreed to three of them, lowering our U.S. net operating loss carryforwards at December
31, 2005 by $36.1 million. In April 2006, we reached an agreement-in-principle with the IRS on
the last adjustment, further reducing our net operating loss carryforwards by $10 million. Because
we maintain a full valuation allowance on our U.S. net operating loss carryforwards, these
adjustments had no impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Our estimated tax liability is subject to change as examinations of our tax returns are
completed by the tax authorities in the respective jurisdictions. We believe that any additional
taxes or related interest over the amounts accrued will not have a material effect on our financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows, nor do we expect that such examinations will result
in a material favorable impact. However, resolution of these matters involves uncertainties and
there are no assurances that the outcome will be favorable.
Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 is attributable to
foreign withholding taxes and income taxes at our profitable foreign operations. For the
remainder of 2006, we anticipate an effective income tax rate of approximately 7.5%, which reflects
the utilization of U.S. and foreign net operating loss carryforwards and tax holidays in certain
foreign jurisdictions. At March 31, 2006, we had U.S. net operating loss carryforwards totaling
$357.4 million which expire at various times through 2025. Additionally, at March 31, 2006, we had
$85.0 million of non-U.S. operating loss carryforwards, which expire at various times through 2011.
We maintain a full valuation allowance on substantially all of our deferred tax assets,
including our net operating loss carryforwards, and we will release such valuation allowance as the
related tax benefits are realized on our tax returns or once we achieve sustained profitable
operations.

New Accounting Standards.
Recently Issued Standards
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial
Instruments (SFAS 155), which amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities (SFAS 133) and SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (SFAS 140). SFAS 155 simplifies the
accounting for certain derivatives embedded in other financial instruments by allowing them to be
accounted for as a whole if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value
basis. SFAS 155 also clarifies and amends certain other provisions of SFAS 133 and SFAS 140. SFAS
155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued or subject to a remeasurement event
occurring in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. Earlier adoption is permitted,
provided the Company has not yet issued financial statements, including for interim periods, for
that fiscal year. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 155 to have a material impact on our
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recently Adopted Standards
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs, an Amendment of ARB No. 43,
Chapter 4. SFAS No. 151 clarifies that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling
costs and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges and requires
the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the
production facilities. The guidance in this Statement is effective for inventory costs incurred
during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 151 on
January 1, 2006. The adoption of this Statement did not have a material impact on our financial
statements and disclosures.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an Amendment
of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions. SFAS No. 153 eliminates the
exception from fair value measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets in
paragraph 21(b) of APB Opinion No. 29 and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not
have commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 specifies that a nonmonetary exchange has commercial
substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result
of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 is effective in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We
adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 153 on January 1, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not
have a material impact on our financial statements and disclosures.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. SFAS No.
154 replaces APB No. 20, Accounting Changes and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim
Financial Statements and establishes retrospective application as the required method for reporting
a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 provides guidance for determining whether
retrospective application of a change in accounting principle is impracticable and how to report
such a change. The reporting of a correction of an error by restating previously issued financial
statements is also addressed. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of
errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We adopted the provisions of SFAS
No. 154 on January 1, 2006.
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payments (SFAS
No. 123R), which revises SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and supersedes
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (See
Note 3 for further discussion).
In November 2005, FASB issued FSP FAS 115-1/FAS 124-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary
Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments (FSP 115-1/124-1). FSP 115-1/124-1 provides
guidance on determining when investments in certain debt and equity securities are considered
impaired, whether that impairment is other-than-temporary, and on measuring such impairment loss.
FSP 115-1/124-1 also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an
other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have
not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. This FSP is required to be applied to
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. We adopted the provisions FSP 115-1/124-1 on
January 1, 2006. The adoption of this FSP did not have a material impact on our financial
statements and disclosures.
2. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS adjusts net income and
the outstanding shares for the dilutive effect of stock options and convertible debt. The basic and
diluted EPS amounts are the same for the first quarter of 2005 due to net losses. The
following table summarizes the computation of basic and diluted EPS:

3. Stock Compensation Plans
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123R which revises SFAS No. 123 and supersedes
APB Opinion No. 25. SFAS No. 123R requires that all share-based payments to employees, including
grants of employee stock options, be measured at fair value and
expensed in the Condensed Consolidated
Statement of Operations over the service period (generally the vesting period). Upon adoption, we
transitioned to SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective method, whereby compensation cost is
recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations beginning with the first period that SFAS
No. 123R is effective and thereafter, with prior periods stock-based compensation for option and
employee stock purchase plan activity still presented on a pro forma basis. We continue to use the
Black-Scholes option valuation model to value stock options. Compensation expense is measured and
recognized beginning in 2006 as follows:
Awards granted after December 31, 2005 Awards are measured at their fair value at date of
grant under the provisions of SFAS No. 123R. The resulting compensation expense is recognized in
the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations ratably over the vesting period of the award.
However, if the employee becomes eligible for retirement during the vesting period, the
compensation expense is recognized ratably only until the retirement eligibility date. For
employees eligible for retirement on the date of grant, compensation expense is recognized
immediately.
Awards granted prior to December 31, 2005 Awards were measured at their fair value at the
date of original grant. Compensation expense associated with the unvested portion of these options
at January 1, 2006 is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated
Statement of Operations ratably over
the remaining vesting period without regard to the employees retirement eligibility. Upon
retirement, any unrecognized compensation expense will be recognized immediately.
For all grants, the amount of compensation expense to be recognized is adjusted for an
estimated forfeiture rate which is based on historical data. As a result of the adoption of SFAS
No. 123R, we recognized incremental expense of
$0.8 million, with no tax impact, or less than
$0.01 per diluted common share, in the three months ended March 31, 2006, associated with the
expensing of stock options and employee stock purchase plan activity. This charge is included in
selling, general and administrative expenses.
In November 2005,
the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 123R-3, Transition
Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards. This
pronouncement provides an alternative method of calculating the excess tax benefit pool available to absorb any tax deficiencies recognized subsequent to the adoption of
SFAS No. 123R. We have until November 2006 to make a one-time election to adopt the transition
method. We are currently evaluating FSP 123R-3; this one-time
election will not affect our Condensed Consolidated Statement of
Operations in the period of adoption.
Prior to January 1, 2006, as permitted under SFAS No. 123, we applied APB Opinion No. 25 and
related interpretations in accounting for our stock-based compensation plans. Under APB Opinion
No. 25, compensation expense was recognized for stock option grants if the exercise price was below
the fair value of the underlying stock at the measurement date.

Pro forma compensation expense under SFAS No. 123 does not include an upfront estimate of
potential forfeitures, but rather recognizes them as they occur and amortizes the compensation
expense for retirement eligible individuals over the vesting period without consideration to
acceleration of vesting. These computational differences and the
differences in the terms and nature of 2006 stock-based compensation awards create incomparability
between the pro forma stock compensation presented above and the stock compensation expense
recognized in 2006.
Stock Option Plans. Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price
of the stock at the date of grant. Substantially all of the options granted are exercisable
pursuant to a two or four-year vesting schedule and the term of the
options granted is ten years. A
summary of the stock option plans and the respective plan termination dates and shares available
for grant as of March 31, 2006 is shown below. For additional information about our stock
compensation plans, refer to Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

In order to calculate the fair value of stock options at date of grant, we used the
Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatilities are weighted based on the historical
performance of our stock and implied volatilities. We also use historical data to estimate the
timing and amount of option exercises and forfeitures within the valuation model. The expected
term of the options is based on evaluations of historical and expected future employee exercise
behavior and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.
The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the
U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The following assumptions were used to
calculate weighted average fair values of the options granted:

For the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, the weighted average grant date fair value
of an option granted was $5.26 per common share and $3.40 per common share, respectively. The
total intrinsic value, the difference between the exercise price and the market price on the date
of exercise, of all options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was
$0.6 million and $0 million, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation expense from stock
options was $7.7 million as of March 31, 2006, which is expected to be recognized over a
weighted-average period of 2.5 years.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). A total of 1,000,000 shares of common stock were
available for sale under the ESPP annually through April 2006. The Board of Directors resolved to
terminate the ESPP in April 2006, subsequent to the final purchase. There were no new ESPP
purchase rights granted during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.
We value our ESPP using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which incorporates the
assumptions noted in the table below. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury
yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

In
January 2006, we acquired an additional 39.6% of Unitive Semiconductor Taiwan for
$18.4 million which was funded out of escrow set up in December 2005. The majority of the purchase price
was allocated to goodwill resulting in $17.8 million in additions during the three months ended
March 31, 2006. Additional shares were acquired later in the first quarter of 2006 resulting in a
combined ownership of 99.86% as of March 31, 2006.

Debt of Amkor Technology Inc.
Credit Facilities
In November 2005, we entered into a $100.0 million first lien revolving credit facility
available through November 2009, with a letter of credit sub-limit of $25.0 million. Interest is
charged under the credit facility at a floating rate based on the base rate in effect from time to
time plus the applicable margins which range from 0.0% to 0.5% for base rate revolving loans, or
LIBOR plus 1.5% to 2.25% for LIBOR revolving loans. The interest rate at March 31, 2006, and
December 31, 2005, was 6.33% and 5.89%, respectively; however, no borrowings were outstanding under
this credit facility. Amkor, along with Unitive Inc. (Unitive) and
Unitive Electronics, Inc. (UEI), are co-borrowers and guarantors under the facility and each
granted a first priority lien on substantially all of their assets, excluding inter-company loans
and the capital stock of foreign subsidiaries and certain domestic subsidiaries. As of March 31,
2006, we had utilized $2.5 million of the available letter of credit sub-limit, and had $97.5
million available under this facility. The borrowing base for the revolving credit facility is
based on the valuation of our eligible accounts receivable. We incur commitment fees on the unused
amounts of the revolving credit facility ranging from 0.25% to 0.50%, based on our liquidity. The
$100.0 million credit facility replaces our prior $30.0 million senior secured revolving credit
facility which we entered into in June 2004. This new facility includes a number of affirmative
and negative covenants, which could restrict our operations. If we were to default under the first
lien revolving credit facility, we would not be permitted to draw additional

(unaudited)
amounts, and the banks could accelerate our obligation to pay all outstanding amounts.
In October 2004, we entered into a $300.0 million second lien term loan with a group of
institutional lenders. The term loan bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 450 basis points
(9.27% and 8.88% at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively); and matures in October
2010. Guardian Assets, Inc., Unitive, UEI, Amkor International Holdings, LLC (AIH), Amkor
Technology Limited (ATL), P-Four, LLC (P-Four) and Amkor/Anam Pilipinas, Inc. (AAP) are
guarantors of the second lien term loan. The second lien term loans are secured by a second lien
on substantially all of our U.S. assets, including the shares of
certain of our U.S. subsidiaries
and a portion of the shares of some of our foreign subsidiaries. We do not have the option to
prepay the second lien term loan until October 2006. If we were to elect to prepay the loan, we
would be required to pay a prepayment premium, initially set at 3% of the principal amount prepaid.
The second lien term loan agreements contain a number of affirmative and negative covenants which
could restrict our operations. If we were to default under the facility, the lenders could
accelerate our obligation to pay all outstanding amounts.
Senior and Senior Subordinated Notes
In February 2001, we issued $500.0 million of 9.25% Senior Notes due February 2008 (the 2008
Notes). As of December 31, 2005, we had purchased $29.5 million of these notes. In January 2006,
we purchased an additional $30.0 million of these notes and recorded a gain on extinguishment of
$0.7 million which is included in other (income) expense, which was partially offset by the
write-off of a proportionate amount of our deferred debt issuance costs of $0.2 million. The 2008
Notes are not redeemable prior to their maturity.
In March 2004, we issued $250.0 million of 7.125% Senior Notes due March 2011 (the 2011
Notes). The 2011 Notes were priced at 99.321%, yielding an effective interest rate of 7.25%. The
2011 Notes are redeemable by us at any time provided we pay the holders a make-whole premium and,
prior to March 15, 2007, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes
from the proceeds of one or more equity offerings at a price of 107.125% of the principal amount
plus accrued and unpaid interest.
In May 2003, we issued $425.0 million of 7.75% Senior Notes due May 2013 (the 2013 Notes).
The 2013 Notes are not redeemable at our option until May 2008.
In May 1999, we issued $200.0 million of 10.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due May 2009 (the
2009 Notes). As of March 31, 2006, the 2009 Notes were redeemable at our option at a price of
103.5% of the principal of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, which percentage was reduced
to 101.25% starting May 1, 2006.
The senior and senior subordinated notes
contain a number of affirmative and negative
covenants, which could restrict our operations. As discussed in Note 15 Subsidiary Guarantors,
Unitive, UEI, AIH, ATL, P-Four and AAP became guarantors of the senior and senior subordinated
notes in 2005 as a result of our acquisition of Unitive and UEI, and the U.S. domestication of AIH,
ATL, P-Four and AAP for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We are in the process of consolidating a number of our subsidiaries, and we
expect that, before the end of 2006, all of the guarantees of the senior and senior subordinated
notes will terminate or be released in accordance with the terms of the indentures governing the
notes in connection with such consolidation, although there can be no assurances that we will
accomplish this.
Convertible Subordinated Notes
In May 2001, we
issued $250.0 million of our 5.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes due June
2006 (the 2006 Notes). The 2006 Notes are convertible into our common stock at a price of $35.00
per share, subject to adjustment. The notes are subordinated to the prior payment in full of all
of our senior and senior subordinated debt. In November 2003, we purchased $17.0 million of the
2006 Notes with the proceeds of an equity offering. In November 2005, we purchased an additional
$100.0 million of the 2006 Notes with proceeds from the issuance of $100.0 million of 6.25%
Convertible Subordinated Notes due December 2013 described below. We purchased such 2006 Notes on
the open market at 99.125% and recorded a gain on extinguishment of $0.9 million which is included
in other (income) expense. The gain on extinguishment was partially offset by the write-off of a
proportionate amount of our deferred debt issuance costs of $0.3 million. In January 2006, we
purchased an additional $1.0 million of the 2006 Notes at 99.25%. As of March 31, 2006, the 2006
Notes were redeemable at our option at a price of 101.15% of the principal of the notes plus accrued
and unpaid interest.

In March 2000, we issued $258.8 million of our 5.0% Convertible Subordinated Notes due March
2007 (the 2007 Notes). The 2007 Notes are convertible into our common stock at any time at a
conversion price of $57.34 per share, subject to adjustment. The notes are subordinated to the
prior payment in full of all of our senior and senior subordinated debt. In November 2003, we repurchased $112.3 million of our 2007 Notes with the
proceeds of an equity offering. We recorded a $2.5 million loss on extinguishment related to
premiums paid for the purchase of the 2007 Notes and a $2.2 million charge for the associated
unamortized deferred debt issuance costs. These amounts were included in other (income) expense.
As of March 31, 2006, the 2007 Notes were redeemable at our option at a price of 100.714% of the
principal of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest
Convertible Subordinated Notes, Related Party
In November 2005, we issued $100.0 million of our 6.25% Convertible Subordinated Notes due
December 2013 (the 2013 Notes) in a private placement to James J. Kim, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer, and certain Kim family trusts. The 2013 Notes are convertible into our common
stock at an initial price of $7.49 per share (the market price of our common stock on the date of
issuance of the 2013 Notes was $6.20 per share), subject to adjustment. The 2013 Notes are
subordinated to the prior payment in full of all of our senior and senior subordinated debt. In
March 2006, we filed a registration statement with the SEC registering the notes and the shares of
common stock issuable upon conversion, pursuant to the requirements of a registration rights
agreement. The proceeds from the sale of the 2013 Notes were used to purchase a portion of the
2006 Notes described above. The notes are not redeemable at our option until 2010.
Debt of Subsidiaries
Secured Term Loans
In September 2005, Amkor Technology Taiwan, Inc. (ATT) entered into a short-term interim
financing arrangement with two Taiwanese banks for New Taiwan (NT) $1.0 billion (approximately
$30.0 million) (the Bridge Loan) in connection with a syndication loan led by the same lenders.
In November 2005, ATT finalized the NT$1.8 billion (approximately $53.5 million) syndication loan
due November 2010 (the Syndication Loan), which accrues interest at the Taiwan 90-Day Commercial
Paper Primary Market rate plus 1.2%. At March 31, 2006, and December 31, 2005, the interest rate
was 3.05% and 3.0%, respectively. A portion of the Syndication Loan was used to pay off the Bridge
Loan. Amkor has guaranteed the repayment of this loan. The documentation governing the
Syndication Loan includes a number of affirmative, negative and financial covenants, which could
restrict our operations. If we were to default under the facility, the lenders could accelerate
our obligation to pay all outstanding amounts.
In June 2005, UST entered into a NT$400.0 million (approximately $12.2 million) term loan due
June 20, 2008 (the UST Note), which accrues interest at the Taiwan 90-Day Commercial Paper
Secondary Market rate plus 2.25% (4.0% and 3.97% as of March 31, 2006, and December 31, 2005). The
proceeds of the UST Note were used to satisfy notes previously held by UST. Amkor has guaranteed
the repayment of this loan. The documentation governing the UST Note includes a number of
affirmative and negative covenants which could restrict our operations. If we were to
default under the facility, the lenders could accelerate our obligation to pay all outstanding
amounts.
Secured Equipment and Property Financing
Our secured equipment and property financing consists of loans secured with specific assets at
our Japanese, Singaporean and Chinese subsidiaries. Our credit facility in Japan provides for
equipment financing on a three-year basis for each piece of equipment purchased. The Japanese
facility accrues interest at 3.59% on all outstanding balances and has maturities at various times
between 2006 and 2008. In December 2005, our Singaporean subsidiary entered into a loan with a
finance company for $10.0 million, which accrues interest at 4.86% and is due December 2008. The
loan is guaranteed by Amkor and is secured by a monetary security deposit and certain of the subsidiarys
equipment. In May 2004, our Chinese subsidiary entered into a $5.5 million credit facility secured
with buildings at one of our Chinese production facilities and is payable ratably through January
2012. The interest rate for the Chinese credit facility at March 31, 2006, and December 31, 2005,
was 5.58%. These equipment and property financings contain affirmative and negative covenants,
which could restrict our operations, and, if we were to default on our obligations under these
financings, the lenders could accelerate our obligation to repay amounts borrowed under such
facilities.

Revolving Credit Facilities
Amkor Iwate Corporation, a Japanese subsidiary (AIC), has a revolving line of credit with a

For the three months ended March 31, 2006, $0.6 million was contributed to fund the pension
plans. We presently anticipate contributing $7.2 million in 2006 to fund the pension plans.
Our Korean subsidiary participates in an accrued severance plan that covers employees and
directors with one year or more of service. Eligible plan participants are entitled to receive a
lump-sum payment upon termination of their employment, based on their length of service and rate of
pay at the time of termination. Accrued severance benefits are estimated assuming all eligible
employees were to terminate their employment at the balance sheet date. The contributions to the
national pension fund made under the National Pension Plan of the Republic of Korea are deducted
from accrued severance benefit liabilities. For the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, the
provision recorded for severance benefits was $9.3 million and $7.1 million, respectively. The
balance recorded in other non-current liabilities (see Note 11) for accrued severance was $125.7
million and $116.4 million at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
13. Commitments and Contingencies
Indemnifications and Guarantees
We have indemnified members of our Board of Directors and our corporate officers against any
threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative by reason of the fact that the individual is or was a director or officer of the
company. The individuals are indemnified, to the fullest extent permitted by law, against related
expenses, judgments, fines and any amounts paid in settlement. We also maintain directors and
officers insurance coverage in order to mitigate our exposure to these indemnification obligations.
The maximum amount of future payments is generally unlimited. There is no amount recorded for these
indemnifications at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. Due to the nature of these
indemnifications, it is not possible to make a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential loss or
range of loss. No assets are held as collateral and no specific recourse provisions exist related
to these indemnifications.
As of March 31, 2006, we have outstanding $2.5 million of standby letters of credit and have
available an additional $24.4 million. Such standby letters of credit are used in our ordinary
course of business and are collateralized by our cash balances.
We generally provide a standard ninety-day warranty on our services. Our warranty activity has
historically been immaterial.
Legal
Proceedings
We are currently a party to various legal proceedings, including those noted below. While we
currently believe that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the
aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations
or cash flows, litigation and other legal proceedings are subject to
inherent uncertainties. If an unfavorable ruling or outcome were to
occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our results of operations,
financial condition or cash flows. An unfavorable ruling or outcome could also have a negative impact on the
trading price of our securities. The estimate of the potential impact from the following legal
proceedings on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could change in the
future. We record provisions in our consolidated financial statements
for pending litigation and other legal proceedings when
we determine that an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably
estimated. During the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, we recorded a provision of $1.0
million and $50.0 million, respectively related to the legal matters discussed below.

Epoxy Mold Compound Litigation
Much of our recent litigation relates to an allegedly defective epoxy mold compound, formerly
used in some of our packaging services, which is alleged to be responsible for certain
semiconductor chip failures. As previously disclosed, the cases of Fujitsu Limited. v. Cirrus
Logic, Inc., et al., Seagate Technology LLC v. Atmel Corporation, et al., Fairchild Semiconductor
Corporation v. Sumitomo Bakelite Singapore Pte. Ltd., et al., and Maxtor Corporation v. Koninklijke
Philips Electronics N.V., et al., have each been resolved through trial or settlement, with a
complete dismissal or release of all claims. We have recently reached agreement to settle the last
pending matter, described more fully below. Other customers of ours have made inquiries in the
past about the epoxy mold compound, which was widely used in the semiconductor industry, and no
assurance can be given that claims similar to those already asserted will not be made against us by
other customers in the future.
Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. v. Amkor Technology, Inc., et al.
In August 2003, we were served with a complaint filed by Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.
(Maxim) against us and Sumitomo Bakelite Co., Ltd. and Sumitomo Plastics America, Inc.
(collectively Sumitomo) in the Superior Court of California, Santa Clara County. The complaint
seeks damages related to our use of Sumitomo Bakelites epoxy mold compound in assembling Maxims
semiconductor packages. We denied all liability and asserted cross-claims against Sumitomo Bakelite
for indemnification.
On April 27, 2006, all parties reached agreement to settle this litigation. We have agreed to
pay Maxim $3.0 million of the total settlement, and release our claims against Sumitomo in
consideration of a release from all claims against Amkor related to this litigation. We had
previously reserved $2.0 million for this settlement and have recorded a charge of $1.0 million in
the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
Other Litigation
Amkor Technology, Inc. v. Motorola, Inc.
In August 2002, we filed a complaint against Motorola, Inc. (Motorola) seeking declaratory
judgment relating to a controversy between us and Motorola concerning: (i) the assignment by
Citizen Watch Co., Ltd. (Citizen) to us of a Patent License Agreement dated January 25, 1996
between Motorola and Citizen (the License Agreement) and concurrent assignment by Citizen to us
of Citizens interest in U.S. Patents 5,241,133 and 5,216,278 (the 133 and 278 patents) which
patents relate to BGA packages; and (ii) our obligation to make certain payments pursuant to an
immunity agreement (the Immunity Agreement) dated June 30, 1993 between us and Motorola, pending
in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County.
We and Motorola resolved the controversy with respect to all issues relating to the Immunity
Agreement, and all claims and counterclaims filed by the parties in the case relating to the
Immunity Agreement were dismissed or otherwise disposed of without further litigation. The claims
relating to the License Agreement and the 133 and 278 Patents remained pending.
We and Motorola both filed motions for summary judgment on the remaining claims, and oral
arguments were heard in September 2003. On October 6, 2003, the Superior Court of Delaware ruled in
favor of us and issued an Opinion and Order granting our motion for summary judgment and denying
Motorolas motion for summary judgment. Motorola filed an appeal in the Supreme Court of Delaware.
In May 2004, the Supreme Court reversed the Superior Courts decision, and remanded for further
development of the factual record. The bench trial in this matter was concluded on January 27,
2006. Post-trial briefs have been submitted and post-trial oral arguments have been heard by the
Court; a decision is currently expected mid to late 2006.
Alcatel Business Systems v. Amkor Technology, Inc., Anam Semiconductor, Inc.
On November 5, 1999, we agreed to sell certain semiconductor parts to Alcatel
Microelectronics, N.V. (AME), a subsidiary of Alcatel S.A. The parts were manufactured for us by
Anam Semiconductor, Inc. (ASI) and delivered to AME. AME transferred the parts to another Alcatel
subsidiary, Alcatel Business Systems (ABS), which incorporated the parts into cellular phone
products. In early 2001, a dispute arose as to whether the parts sold by us were defective.

Paris Commercial Court. On March 18, 2002, ABS and its insurer filed suit against us and ASI
in the Paris Commercial Court of France, claiming damages of approximately 50.4 million Euros
(approximately $59.7 million based on the spot exchange rate at December 31, 2005.) We have denied
all liability and have not established a loss accrual associated with this claim. Additionally, we
have entered into a written agreement with ASI whereby ASI has agreed to indemnify us fully against
any and all loss related to the claims of AME, ABS and ABS insurer. The Paris Commercial Court
commenced a special proceeding before a technical expert to report on the facts of the dispute. The
report of the court-appointed expert was put forth on December 31, 2003. The report does not
specifically allocate liability to any particular party. On May 18, 2004, the Paris Commercial
Court of France declared that it did not have jurisdiction over the matter. The Court of Appeal of
Paris heard the appeal regarding jurisdiction during October 2004, confirmed the first tier ruling
and dismissed the appeal on November 3, 2004. A motion was recently filed by ABS and its insurer
before the French Supreme Court to challenge the lack of jurisdiction ruling and a brief was filed
by ABS and its insurer in June 2005. We filed a response brief before the French Supreme Court in
August 2005.
Arbitration. In response to the French lawsuit described above, on May 22, 2002, we filed a
petition to compel arbitration in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania against ABS, AME and ABS insurer, claiming that the dispute is subject to the
arbitration clause of the November 5, 1999 agreement between us and AME. ABS and ABS insurer have
refused to arbitrate and continue to challenge the lack of jurisdiction ruling. The arbitration
proceeding has been stayed pending resolution of the French lawsuit described above.
Amkor Technology, Inc. v. Carsem (M) Sdn Bhd, Carsem Semiconductor Sdn Bhd, and Carsem Inc.
In
November 2003, we filed a complaint against Carsem (M)
Sdn Bhd, Carsem Semiconductor Sdn Bhd, and Carsem Inc.
(collectively Carsem) with the International Trade
Commission (ITC) in Washington, D.C., alleging
infringement of our United States Patent Nos. 6,433,277;
6,455,356 and 6,630,723 (collectively the Amkor Patents)
and seeking an exclusionary order barring the importation by Carsem
of infringing products. Subsequently, we filed a complaint in the
Northern District of California, alleging infringement of the Amkor
Patents and seeking an injunction enjoining Carsem from further
infringing the Amkor Patents, treble damages plus interest, costs
and attorneys fees. We allege that by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing into
the U.S. the Carsem Dual and Quad Flat No-Lead Package, Carsem has infringed on one or more of our
MicroLeadFrame® packaging technology claims in the Amkor Patents. The District Court action had
been stayed pending resolution of the ITC case. The ITC Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) conducted
an evidentiary hearing during July and August of 2004 in Washington D.C. and issued an initial
determination that Carsem infringed some of our patent claims relating to our MicroLeadFrame®
package technology, that some of our 21 asserted patent claims are valid, and that all of our
asserted patent claims are enforceable.
However, the ALJ did not find a statutory violation of the Tariff Act. We filed a petition in
November 2004 to have the ALJs ruling reviewed by the full International Trade Commission. The ITC
ordered a new claims construction related to various disputed claim terms and remanded the case to
the ALJ for further proceedings. The ITC subsequently authorized the ALJ to reopen the record on
certain discovery issues related to third party conception documents. The ITC previously ordered
the ALJ to issue the final Initial Determination by November 9, 2005 and set a date of February 9,
2006 for completion of the investigation. On February 9, 2006, the ITC ordered a delay in issuance
of the Final Determination, pending resolution of the discovery issues related to third party
conception documents. The discovery issues are the subject of a subpoena enforcement action which
is pending in the District Court for the District of Columbia; a schedule has not yet been
established for that action. The case we filed in 2003 in the Northern District of California
remains stayed pending completion of the ITC investigation.
Tessera, Inc. v. Amkor Technology, 1nc.
On March 2, 2006, Tessera, Inc. filed a Request for Arbitration with the International Court
of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce, captioned Tessera, Inc. v. Amkor
Technology, Inc. The Request for Arbitration seeks substantial
monetary damages and claims, among other things, that Amkor is in breach
of its license agreement with Tessera as a result of Amkors failure to pay Tessera royalties
allegedly due on certain packages Amkor assembles for some of its customers.
Securities Class Action Litigation
On
January 23, 2006, a purported securities class action suit
entitled Nathan Weiss et
al. v. Amkor Technology, Inc. et al., was filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania against Amkor and certain of its current and former officers. Subsequently, other law
firms have filed similar cases, which we expect to be consolidated with the initial complaint. The
complaints allege, among other things, that Amkor made certain materially false and misleading
statements and omissions in its disclosures in violation of the federal securities laws during the
putative class period of October 2003 to July 2004. The
complaints seek certification as a class action pursuant to
Fed. R. Civ. Proc. 23, appointment of lead counsel,
compensatory damages, costs and expenses, equitable and injunctive
relief as permitted by law and such other further relief as the Court
deems just and proper.

Shareholder Derivative Lawsuits
On February 23, 2006, a purported shareholder derivative lawsuit entitled Scimeca v. Kim, et
al. was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona against certain of Amkors
officers, former officers and directors. Amkor is named as a nominal defendant. The complaint
includes claims for breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, waste
of corporate assets, unjust enrichment and
mismanagement, and is generally based on the same allegations as in the securities class action
litigation described above.
On March 2, 2006 a purported shareholder derivative lawsuit entitled Kahn v. Kim, et al. was
filed in the Superior Court of the State of Arizona against certain of Amkors current and former
officers and directors. Amkor is named as a nominal defendant. The complaint includes claims for
breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment, and is based on allegations similar to those made
in the previously filed federal shareholder derivative action.
The
derivative complaints seek monetary damages, an order directing the
Company to take all necessary actions to improve corporate governance
as may be necessary, equitable and/or injunctive relief as permitted
by law, disgorgement, restitution, costs, fees, expenses and such
other relief as the Court deems just and proper.
Other Legal Matters
Securities and Exchange Commission Investigation
In August 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a formal order of
investigation regarding certain activities with respect to Amkor securities. As previously
announced, the primary focus of the investigation appears to be activities during the period from
June 2003 to July 2004. Amkor believes that the investigation continues to relate primarily to
transactions in the Companys securities by certain individuals, and that the investigation may in
part relate to whether tipping with respect to trading in Amkor securities occurred. The matters
at issue involve activities with respect to Amkor securities during the subject period by certain
insiders or former insiders and persons or entities associated with them, including activities by
or on behalf of certain current and former members of the Board of Directors and Amkors Chief
Executive Officer. Amkor has cooperated fully with the SEC on the formal investigation and the
informal inquiry that preceded it. Amkor cannot predict the outcome of the investigation. In the
event that the investigation leads to SEC action against any current
or former officer or director of the Company, or the Company itself, our
business (including our ability to complete financing transactions) or the trading price of our securities may be adversely
impacted. In addition, if the SEC investigation continues for a
prolonged period of time, it may have the same impact regardless of
the ultimate outcome of the investigation.
14. Related Party Transactions
In November 2005, we sold $100.0 million of our 6.25% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2013
in a private placement to James J. Kim, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and certain Kim
family trusts. The 2013 Notes are convertible into Amkors common stock and are subordinated to
the prior payment in full of all of Amkors senior and senior subordinated debt. In March 2006, we
filed a registration statement with the SEC to effect the registration of the notes and the common
stock issuable upon conversion of the notes. See Note 10 for additional information.
Mr. JooHo Kim is a corporate officer of Amkor and a brother of Mr. James J. Kim, our Chairman
and CEO. Mr. JooHo Kim owns, with his children, 19.2% of Anam Information Technology, Inc., a
company that provides computer hardware and software components to Amkor Technology Korea, Inc. (a
subsidiary of Amkor). For the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, purchases from Anam
Information Technology, Inc. were $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Amounts due to Anam
Information Technology, Inc. at March 31, 2006, and December 31, 2005 were $0.2 million and $0.3
million, respectively.
Mr. JooHo
Kim, together with his wife and children, owns 96.1% of Jesung C&M, a company that
provides cafeteria services to Amkor Technology Korea, Inc. For the three months ended March 31,
2006 and 2005, purchases from Jesung C&M were $1.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Amounts
due to Jesung C&M at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were $0.6 million and $0.5 million,
respectively.
Dongan Engineering Co., Ltd. is 100% owned by Mr. JooCheon Kim, a brother of Mr. James J. Kim.
Mr. JooCheon Kim is not an employee of Amkor. Dongan Engineering
Co., Ltd. provides, directly or through affiliate entities, construction
and maintenance services to Amkor Technology Korea, Inc., Amkor Technology Philippines, Inc. and
Amkor Assembly and Test (Shanghai) Co. Ltd., all of which are subsidiaries of Amkor. For the three
months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, purchases from Dongan Engineering Co., Ltd. were $0.0 million
and $0.2 million, respectively. Amounts due to Dongan Engineering Co., Ltd. at March 31, 2006 and
December 31, 2005 were not significant.
We purchase leadframe inventory from Acqutek Semiconductor & Technology Co., Ltd. Mr. James J.
Kims ownership in Acqutek Semiconductor & Technology Co., Ltd. is approximately 17.7%. For the
three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, purchases from Acqutek Semiconductor & Technology Co.,
Ltd. were $2.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Amounts due to

Acqutek Semiconductor & Technology Co., Ltd. at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were $2.7
million and $1.4 million, respectively.
We lease office space in West Chester, Pennsylvania from trusts related to Mr. James J. Kim.
Amounts paid for this lease for the three months ended March 31,
2006 and 2005 were less than $0.1 million
and $0.3 million, respectively. We vacated a portion of this space in connection with the move of
our corporate headquarters to Arizona. We currently lease approximately 2,700 square feet of
office space from these trusts. The sublease income has been assigned to the trusts as part of
vacating the office space effective July 1, 2005. For the three months ended March 31, 2006 and
2005, our sublease income includes $0.0 million and $0.1 million respectively, from related
parties.
15. Subsidiary Guarantors
As of March 31, 2006, payment obligations under our senior and senior subordinated notes (see
Note 10), totaling $1,314.2 million, are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of our
wholly-owned subsidiaries. The subsidiaries that guarantee our senior and senior subordinated notes
consist of: Unitive, UEI, AIH, ATL, P-Four
and AAP. We are in the process of consolidating a
number of our subsidiaries, and we expect that, before the end of 2006, all of the guarantees of
the senior and senior subordinated notes will terminate or be released in accordance with the terms
of the indentures governing the notes in connection with such consolidation, although there can be
no assurances that we will accomplish this.
Presented below is condensed consolidating financial information for the parent, Amkor
Technology, Inc., the guarantor subsidiaries and the non-guarantor subsidiaries. Investments in
subsidiaries are accounted for by the parent and subsidiaries on the equity method of accounting.
Earnings of subsidiaries are, therefore, reflected in the parents and guarantor subsidiaries
investments in subsidiaries accounts. The elimination columns eliminate investments in
subsidiaries and inter-company balances and transactions. Separate financial statements and other
disclosures concerning the guarantor subsidiaries are not presented because the guarantor
subsidiaries are wholly-owned and have unconditionally guaranteed the senior notes and senior
subordinated notes on a joint and several basis. There are no restrictions on the ability of any
guarantor subsidiary to directly or indirectly make distributions to us.

16. Subsequent Events
On April 27, 2006, Amkor and Sumitomo Bakelite Co., Ltd. and Sumitomo Plastics America, Inc.
(collectively Sumitomo) reached resolution with Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (Maxim) with
respect to pending litigation involving allegedly defective epoxy mold compound. Amkor has agreed
to pay Maxim $3.0 million of the total settlement and release its claims against Sumitomo in
consideration of a release from all claims against Amkor related to
this litigation. We had previously reserved $2.0 million for this matter and recorded a charge of $1.0 million
in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months
ended March 31, 2006. The settlement of this case resolves the last pending litigation regarding the allegedly
defective epoxy mold compound, as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
On April 28, 2006, we announced that we have commenced a cash tender offer for up to $200
million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 9.25% Senior Notes due 2008, subject to
completing the contemplated financing thereof.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
federal securities laws, including but not limited to statements regarding: (1) the condition and
growth of the industry in which we operate, including trends toward increased outsourcing,
reductions in inventory and demand and selling prices for our services, (2) our anticipated capital
expenditures and financing needs, (3) our belief as to our future capacity utilization rates,
revenue, gross margins, operating performance and liquidity, (4) our contractual obligations and
(5) other statements that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking
statements by terminology such as may, will, should, expects, plans, anticipates,
believes, estimates, predicts, potential, continue, intend or the negative of these
terms or other comparable terminology. Because such statements include risks and uncertainties,
actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in such forwardlooking statements as a
result of certain factors, including those set forth in the following discussion as well as in
Risk Factors that May Affect Future Operating Performance
set forth in this Form
10-Q in Part II Item 1A Risk Factors. The following discussion provides information
and analysis of our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and our
liquidity and capital resources. You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our
condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes, included elsewhere in this
quarterly report as well as other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Results of Operations
Overview
Our first quarter net income was $34.7 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, versus a net loss
in the first quarter of 2005 of $119.1 million, or ($0.68) per share. The first quarter of 2005
included a provision for legal settlements of $50.0 million. Sales for the first quarter of 2006
were $645.1 million and units shipped were 2.2 billion. The first quarter is typically a seasonally
slow period; however, this quarter we saw demand across a broad range of end markets, resulting in
increased demand for our advanced packages such as MicroLeadFrame, System-in-Package and 3D
packages for wireless communications and consumer applications. Sales for the first quarter of
2006 were up 55% over the first quarter of 2005 representing high demand and tight supply in our
sector and the leverage of our 2004 strategic initiatives.
The
improved business conditions in our sector have allowed us to enrich our product mix,
selectively increase prices and recover increases in commodity costs from some of our customers.
These factors, coupled with improved allocation of production assets and factory productivity,
have enabled us to achieve a gross margin of 24%. First quarter gross margin included a $4.1 million
impairment charge primarily related to our decision to close down a camera module line in Korea,
where we have not achieved targeted returns and associated cash flows.
Our capacity utilization in the first quarter of 2006 remains high. Capacity expansion lagged
customer demand in the first quarter and certain lines were on allocation; however, we intend to
continue our capacity expansion in a financially-disciplined manner. Our capital investments have
been, and will continue to be, primarily focused on increasing our test, wafer bumping, flip chip
and advanced laminate packaging capacity. During 2005 and the first quarter of 2006, we entered
into several supply agreements with customers that guarantee the customer capacity and provide for
customer prepayment of services in exchange for such capacity guarantees. In some cases, customers
may forfeit the prepayment if the capacity is not utilized per contract terms. Customer advances of
$9.0 million and $4.3 million are included in accrued expenses and other non-current liabilities,
respectively, as of March 31, 2006. We anticipate signing more of these types of agreements in the
remainder of 2006.
First quarter selling, general and administrative expenses were flat year-over-year, with
reductions in corporate salaries and professional fees offset by increased spending at our
factories and the expensing of stock-based compensation with the adoption of FAS No. 123R. In
light of stronger business conditions, we have decided to invest a portion of our increased
earnings to enhance our worldwide IT systems capabilities. We are moving forward with a
broad-based enterprise resource planning system implementation designed to ensure that Amkor has
the system infrastructure necessary to accommodate planned growth while managing an increasingly
complex supply chain. We are committed to achieving meaningful reductions in our selling, general
and administrative spending during 2006. The ultimate amount of our savings will depend in part on
overall business conditions.
31
First quarter capital additions totaled $103.0 million. We continue to budget full year 2006
capital additions of $300 million, which includes approximately $50 million for facilities,
including our new factories in China and Singapore. In addition, we expect to undertake a modest
amount of further capacity expansion that would be funded by customers under supply agreements, as
discussed above.
During the first quarter of 2006, we generated $119.0 million of operating cash flow that was
used to fund capital purchases of $79.1 million and purchase $30.0 million of our 9.25% senior
notes due February 2008. On April 28, 2006, we commenced a cash tender offer for up to $200
million aggregate principal amount of our 9.25% Senior Notes due 2008, subject to completing the
contemplated financing thereof. Please see the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below for a
further analysis of the change in our balance sheet and cash flows.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2006 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2005
Net Sales. Net sales increased $227.6 million, or 54.6%, to $645.1 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2006 from $417.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005,
principally driven by increased unit volume and, to a lesser extent,
the impact of pricing and mix discussed above in the Overview. Unit volume increased from 1.5 billion units in the first quarter of 2005 to 2.2
billion units in the first quarter of 2006.
Cost of Sales. Our cost of sales consists principally of materials, labor and depreciation.
Because a substantial portion of our costs at our factories is fixed, relatively insignificant
increases or decreases in capacity utilization rates can have a significant effect on our gross
margin.
Material costs increased due to the volume increase and increasing commodity prices. Material
costs as a percent of revenue decreased from 40.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 to
38.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 due to recovery of increasing commodity prices from
some of our customers, product mix and higher average selling prices on some of our
products.
Labor costs in absolute dollars were up due to the increased volume and the increased
headcount at the newer factories; however, labor dropped as a percentage of net sales from 20.7%
for the three months ended March 31, 2005 to 15.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 due to
increased utilization and productivity at our factories.
Other manufacturing costs increased $23.6 million, but decreased from 28.8% to 22.3% as a
percent of net sales, primarily due to the higher sales. This improvement was partially offset by
a $4.1 million impairment charge described above in the Overview.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $111.6 million, to $155.0 million, or 24% of net sales,
for the quarter ended March 2006 from $43.4 million, or 10.4% of net sales, for the quarter ended
March 2005. This increase in margin was due to higher unit sales, recovery of increasing commodity
prices from some of our customers, higher average selling prices on some of our
products and increased utilization and productivity at our factories.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses
were $60.3 million for the first quarter of 2006 versus $60.5 million in the first quarter of 2005.
We saw an increase of $2.6 million at our factories primarily
due to increasing indirect labor costs offset by a
reduction of $2.8 million in corporate expenses.
32
The decrease in corporate expense
was led by lower salary costs of approximately $2.0 million due to the headcount reductions in the
third and fourth quarters of 2005 and approximately $1.1 million lower legal fees due to decreased
litigation activity. These corporate reductions were partially offset by the $0.8 million of
stock-based compensation recorded in the first quarter of 2006 related to the implementation of FAS
No. 123R.
Provision for Legal Settlements and Contingencies. In the first quarter of 2005 we recorded a
$50.0 million provision for legal settlements and contingencies related to the mold compound
litigation. Of that amount, $48.0 million was paid out in 2005, with the remaining reserved for
the last outstanding litigation regarding the allegedly defective epoxy mold. We settled this case on April
27, 2006 for $3.0 million and recorded an additional provision of $1.0 million in our financial
statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
Other (Income) Expense. Other expenses, net, increased $3.0 million, to $45.9 million, or
7.2% of net sales, for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 from $42.9 million, or 10.3% of net sales,
for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The net increase is primarily driven by higher interest
expense of $2.4 million due to the increased debt level and higher rates on our variable debt and a
$1.7 million increase in foreign currency losses primarily in Korea and the Philippines.
Income Tax Expense. The income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005
is attributable to foreign withholding taxes and income taxes at our profitable foreign operations.
For the remainder of 2006, we anticipate an effective income tax rate of approximately 7.5%,
which reflects the utilization of U.S. and foreign net operating loss carryforwards and tax
holidays in certain foreign jurisdictions. At March 31, 2006, we had U.S. net operating loss
carryforwards totaling $357 million, which expire at various times through 2025. Additionally, we
had $85 million of non-U.S. operating loss carryforwards, which expire at various times through
2011.
We maintain a full valuation allowance on substantially all of our deferred tax assets,
including our net operating loss carryforwards, and will release such valuation allowance as the
related deferred tax benefits are realized on our tax returns or once we achieve sustained
profitable operations.
Minority Interests. Minority interest expense was $0.1 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2006, as compared to income of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005.
In the first quarter of 2006, we acquired additional shares in UST leaving only 0.14% in minority
interest as of March 31, 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We generated income from operations of $84.3 million for the three months ended March 31,
2006. This compares to a loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 of $76.0
million. Our operating activities provided cash totaling $119.0 million and used cash totaling
$6.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The operating cash
flow generated in the first quarter of 2006 was used to pay for purchases of property, plant and
equipment in the amount of $79.1 million and purchase $30.0 million of our
9.25% senior notes due February 2008.
We operate in a capital intensive industry. Servicing our current and future customers
requires that we incur significant operating expenses and continue to make significant capital
expenditures, which are generally made in advance of the related revenues and without any firm
customer commitments. During 2005, we had capital additions of $294.8 million and in
2006 we currently anticipate making capital additions of approximately $300 million, which estimate
is subject to adjustment based on business conditions. In addition, we have a significant level of
debt, with $2,117.9 million outstanding at March 31, 2006, $339.1 million of which is current. The
terms of such debt require significant scheduled principal payments in the coming years, including
$182.0 million due during the remainder of 2006,
$175.6 million due in 2007, $461.9 million due in 2008,
$211.9 million due in
2009, $311.9 million due in 2010 and $774.6 million due thereafter. The interest payments required on our debt are
also substantial. For example, in 2005, our total interest paid was $168.6 million. (See
Capital Additions and Contractual Obligations below for a summary of principal and interest
payments.) The source of funds to fund our operations, including making capital expenditures and
servicing principal and interest obligations with respect to our debt, are cash flows from our
operations, current cash and cash equivalents, borrowings under available debt facilities, or
proceeds from any additional debt or equity financing. As of March 31, 2006, we had cash and cash
equivalents of $226.2 million and $97.5 million available under our senior secured revolving credit
facility.
We assess our liquidity based on our current expectations regarding sales, operating expenses,
capital spending and debt service requirements. Based on this assessment, we believe that our cash
flow from operating activities together with existing cash and cash equivalents and availability
under our senior secured revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund our working capital,
capital expenditure and debt service requirements through March 31, 2007, including retiring the
remaining $132.0 million of our 5.75% convertible subordinated notes at maturity in June 2006 and
the $146.4 million of our 5.0% convertible subordinated notes at maturity in March 2007.
Thereafter, our liquidity will continue to be affected by, among other things, the performance of
our business, our capital expenditure levels and our ability to repay debt out of our operating
cash flow or refinance the debt with the proceeds of debt or equity offerings at or prior to
maturity. If our performance or access to the capital markets differs materially from our
expectations, our liquidity may be adversely impacted.
There is no assurance that we will generate the necessary net income or operating cash flows
to meet the funding needs of our business in the future due to a variety of factors, including the
cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry and the other factors discussed in Part II Item 1A,
Risk Factors. If we are unable to do so, our liquidity would be adversely affected and we would
consider taking a variety of actions, including: reducing our operating expenses (including
closing facilities and reducing the size of our work force) and capital additions to levels
appropriate to support our incoming business, raising additional equity, borrowing additional
funds, refinancing existing indebtedness or taking other actions. There can be no assurance,
however, that we will be able to successfully take any of these actions, including adjusting our
expenses sufficiently or in a timely manner, or raising additional equity, increasing borrowings or
completing refinancings on any terms or on terms which are acceptable to
us. Our inability to take these actions as and when necessary would materially adversely
affect our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition.
Many of our debt agreements restrict our ability to pay dividends. We have never paid a
dividend to our shareholders and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable
future. We expect cash flows, if any, to be used in the operation and expansion of our business.
Cash flows
Net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities for the three
months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 were as follows:

Operating activities: Our cash flows from operating activities for the three months ended
March 31, 2006 increased $125.4 million over the three months ended March 31, 2005. This increase
was primarily a result of an increase in net income of $153.7 million over the comparable prior
year period as discussed above in Results of Operations. Cash flows resulting from changes in
assets and liabilities decreased by $46.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2006 as
compared to the three months ended March 31, 2005. This is primarily attributable to a decrease in
the change in accounts payable of $21.7 million due to increases in inventory purchases and capital
expenditure orders as well as a decrease in the change in accrued expenses of $28.0 primarily
driven by the $50.0 million provision for legal settlements that was recorded in the first quarter
of 2005, of which $48.0 million was paid out by December 31, 2005.
Investing activities: Our cash flows used in investing activities for the three months ended
March 31, 2006 increased by $11.6 million over the comparable prior year period primarily due to a
$12.4 million increase in payments for property, plant and equipment from $66.7 million in the
three months ended March 31, 2005 to $79.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2006. The
increase is attributable to selective capacity expansion, including the expansion of our facilities
in China and Singapore, as described above in the Overview.
Financing activities: Our net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended
March 31, 2006 was $21.9 million, as compared to $11.8 million for the three months ended March 31,
2005. The net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2006 includes
the open market purchase of $30.0 million of our 9.25% senior notes due February 2008.
We provide the following supplemental data to assist our investors and analysts in
understanding our liquidity and capital resources. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by
(used in) operating activities less investing activities related to the acquisition of property,
plant and equipment. Free cash flow is not defined by generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and
our definition of free cash flow may not be comparable to similar companies and should not be
considered a substitute for cash flow measures in accordance with GAAP. We believe free cash flow provides our
investors and analysts useful information to analyze our liquidity and capital resources.

Debt Instruments and Related Covenants
We now have, and for the foreseeable future will continue to have, a significant amount of
indebtedness. Our indebtedness requires us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from
operations to service payments on our debt. (See table included in Capital Additions and
Contractual Obligations below). Amkor Technology, Inc. also guarantees certain debt of our
subsidiaries. Debt remained relatively flat at $2,117.9 million as of March 31, 2006 compared to
$2,140.6 million at December 31, 2005.
We were in compliance with all debt covenants contained in our loan agreements at March 31,
2006, and have met all debt payment obligations. Additional details about our debt are available in
Note 10 accompanying the unaudited condensed consolidating financial statements included within
Part I, Item 1 of this report.
On April 28, 2006, we announced that we have commenced a cash tender offer for up to $200
million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 9.25% Senior Notes due 2008, subject to the
Company completing the contemplated financing thereof.
Capital Additions and Contractual Obligations
Our first quarter capital additions were $103.0 million. We expect that our full year 2006
capital additions will be approximately $300 million, as discussed above in the Overview.
Ultimately, the amount of our 2006 capital additions will depend on several factors including,
among others, the performance of our business, the need for additional capacity to service
anticipated customer demand and the availability of suitable cash flow from operations or
financing. The following table reconciles our activity related to property, plant and equipment
payments as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Cash Flows to property, plant and
equipment additions as reflected in the balance sheets:

Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, there have been
no significant changes in our critical accounting policies.
New Accounting Pronouncements

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market Risk Sensitivity
We are exposed to market risks, primarily related to foreign currency and interest rate
fluctuations. In the normal course of business, we employ established policies and procedures to
manage the exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency values and changes in interest rates. Our
use of derivatives instruments, including forward exchange contracts, has been historically
insignificant, and it is expected that our use of derivative instruments will continue to be
minimal.
Foreign Currency Risks
Our primary exposures to foreign currency fluctuations are associated with transactions and
related assets and liabilities denominated in Philippine peso, Korean won, Japanese yen, Taiwan
dollar, Chinese renminbi and Singapore dollar. The objective in managing these foreign currency
exposures is to minimize the risk through minimizing the level of activity and financial
instruments denominated in those currencies. Our foreign currency financial instruments primarily
consist of cash, trade receivables, investments, deferred taxes, trade payables, accrued expenses
and debt.
For an entity with various financial instruments denominated in a foreign currency in a net
asset position, an increase in the exchange rate would result in less net assets when converted to
U.S. dollars. Conversely, for an entity with various financial instruments denominated in a foreign
currency in a net liability position, a decrease in the exchange rate would result in more net
liabilities when converted to U.S. dollars. Changes period over period are caused by changes in our
net asset or net liability position and changes in currency exchange rates. Based on our portfolio
of foreign currency based financial instruments at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, a 20%
increase (decrease) in the foreign currency to U.S. dollar spot exchange rate would result in the
following foreign currency risk for our entities in a net asset (liability) position:

In addition, at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 we had other foreign currency denominated
liabilities, including denominations of the Euro, Singapore dollar and Swiss franc, whereby a 20%
decrease in the related exchange rates would result in an aggregate $0.6 million and $0.8 million
of additional foreign currency risk respectively.
Interest Rate Risks
We have interest rate risk with respect to our long-term debt. As of March 31, 2006, we had a
total of $2,117.9 million of debt of which 81.1% was fixed rate debt and 18.9% was variable rate
debt. Our variable rate debt principally relates to our second lien term loan, foreign borrowings
and any amounts outstanding under our $100.0 million revolving line of credit; of which no amounts
were drawn as of March 31, 2006, but which had been reduced by $2.5 million related to outstanding
letters of credit at that date. The fixed rate debt consists of senior notes, senior subordinated
notes, convertible subordinated notes and foreign debt. As of December 31, 2005, we had a total of
$2,140.6 million of debt of which 81.9% was fixed rate debt and 18.1% was variable rate debt.
Changes in interest rates have different impacts on our fixed and variable rate portions of our
debt portfolio. A change in interest rates on the fixed portion of the debt portfolio impacts the
fair value of the instrument but has no impact on interest incurred or cash flows. A change in
interest rates on the variable portion of the debt portfolio impacts the interest incurred and cash
flows but does not impact the fair value of the instrument. The fair value of the convertible
subordinated notes is also impacted by the market price of our common stock.

Equity Price Risks
We have convertible subordinated notes, as described above, that are convertible into our
common stock. We currently intend to repay our remaining convertible subordinated notes upon
maturity, unless converted, repurchased or refinanced. If investors were to decide to convert their
notes to common stock, our future earnings would benefit from a reduction in interest expense and
our common stock outstanding would be increased. If we paid a premium to induce such conversion,
our earnings could include an additional charge.
Further, the trading price of our common stock has been and is likely to continue to be highly
volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations. Such fluctuations could impact our decision or
ability to utilize the equity markets as a potential source of our funding needs in the future.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Amkor maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management,
including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of disclosure controls and
procedures in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. In designing and
evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and
procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of
achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply judgment in
evaluating our controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation the principal executive officer
and principal financial officer have concluded that Amkors disclosure controls and procedures are
effective as of March 31, 2006.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated Amkors
internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred during the
period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, Amkors internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, there has
been no such change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
the first fiscal quarter.
We are implementing a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system at certain locations,
and in that process, we expect there could be future changes at these locations that will
materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Information about legal proceedings is set forth in Note 13 to the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
RISK FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE OPERATING PERFORMANCE
The factors discussed below are cautionary statements that identify important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking
statements contained in this Report. For more information regarding the forward-looking statements
contained in this report, see the introductory paragraph to Part I, Item 2 of this Report. You
should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the
other information included in this report, in considering our business and prospects. The risks
and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing Amkor. Additional risks and
uncertainties not presently known to us also may impair our business operations. The occurrence of
any of the following risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of
operations.
Dependence on the Highly Cyclical Semiconductor and Electronic Products Industries We Operate
in Volatile Industries, and Industry Downturns Harm Our Performance.
Our business is tied to market conditions in the semiconductor industry, which is cyclical by
nature. The semiconductor industry has experienced significant, and sometimes prolonged, downturns.
Because our business is, and will continue to be, dependent on the requirements of semiconductor
companies for subcontracted packaging and test services, any downturn in the semiconductor industry
or any other industry that uses a significant number of semiconductor devices, such as consumer
electronic products, telecommunication devices, or computing devices could have a material adverse
effect on our business and operating results. If current industry conditions deteriorate, we could
suffer significant losses, as we have in the past, which could materially impact our business,
results of operations and financial condition.
High Fixed Costs Due to Our High Percentage of Fixed Costs, We Will Be Unable to Maintain Our
Gross Margin at Past Levels if We Are Unable to Achieve Relatively High Capacity Utilization
Rates.
Our operations are characterized by relatively high fixed costs. Our profitability depends in
part not only on pricing levels for our products and services, but also on the utilization rates
for our testing and packaging equipment, commonly referred to as capacity utilization rates. In
particular, increases or decreases in our capacity utilization rates can significantly affect gross
margins since the unit cost of testing and packaging services generally decreases as fixed costs
are allocated over a larger number of units. In periods of low demand, we experience relatively low
capacity utilization rates in our operations, which lead to reduced margins during that period.
During most of 2005, we experienced lower than optimum utilization rates in our operations due to a
decline in worldwide demand for our testing and packaging services, which led to significantly
reduced margins during that period. Although our capacity utilization rates have improved recently,
we cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to achieve or
maintain relatively high capacity utilization rates, and if we fail to
do so, our gross margins may decrease. If our
gross margins decrease, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially
adversely affected.
In addition, our fixed operating costs have increased in part as a result of our efforts to
expand our capacity through acquisitions, including the acquisition of certain operations and
assets in Shanghai, China and Singapore from IBM and Xin Development Co., Ltd. in May 2004, and the
acquisition of capital stock of Unitive and UST in August 2004. We are also expending significant
capital resources in connection with the opening of a wafer bumping facility in Singapore in 2006,
which will further increase our fixed costs. In the event that forecasted customer demand for
which we have made, and on a more limited basis, expect to make advance capital expenditures does
not materialize, our sales may not adequately cover our substantial fixed costs resulting in
reduced profit levels or causing significant losses both of which may adversely impact our
liquidity, results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, if current industry
conditions deteriorate, we could suffer significant losses, which could materially impact our
business including our liquidity.
Fluctuations in Operating Results and Cash Flows Our Operating Results and Cash Flows Have
Varied and May Vary Significantly as a Result of Factors That We Cannot Control.
Many factors could materially and adversely affect our net sales, gross profit, operating
results and cash flows, or lead to significant variability of quarterly or annual operating
results. Our profitability and ability to generate cash from operations is principally dependent upon demand for semiconductors, the utilization of our
capacity, semiconductor package mix, the average selling price of our services and our ability to
control our costs including labor, material, overhead and financing costs.
40
Our operating results and cash flows have varied significantly from period to period. During
2005 our net sales, gross margins, operating income and cash flows have fluctuated significantly as
a result of the following factors, many of which we have little or no control over and which we
expect to continue to impact our business:
|
|
|
fluctuation in demand for semiconductors and conditions in the semiconductor industry; |
|
|
|
|
changes in our capacity utilization; |
|
|
|
|
changes in average selling prices; |
|
|
|
|
changes in the mix of semiconductor packages; |
|
|
|
|
evolving package and test technology; |
|
|
|
|
absence of backlog and the short-term nature of our customers commitments and the impact
of these factors on the timing and volume of orders relative to our production capacity; |
|
|
|
|
changes in costs, availability and delivery times of raw materials and components; |
|
|
|
|
changes in labor costs to perform our services; |
|
|
|
|
the timing of expenditures in anticipation of future orders; |
|
|
|
|
changes in effective tax rates; |
|
|
|
|
the availability and cost of financing; |
|
|
|
|
intellectual property transactions and disputes; |
|
|
|
|
high leverage and restrictive covenants; |
|
|
|
|
warranty and product liability claims; |
|
|
|
|
costs associated with litigation judgments and settlements; |
|
|
|
|
international events or environmental or natural events,
such as earthquakes, that impact our operations; |
|
|
|
|
difficulties integrating acquisitions; and |
|
|
|
|
our ability to attract qualified employees to support our geographic expansion. |
We have historically been unable to accurately predict the impact of these factors upon our
results for a particular period. These factors, as well as the factors set forth below which have
not significantly impacted our recent historical results, may impair our future business operations
and may materially and adversely affect our net sales, gross profit, operating results and cash
flows, or lead to significant variability of quarterly or annual operating results:
|
|
|
loss of key personnel or the shortage of available skilled workers; |
|
|
|
|
rescheduling and cancellation of large orders; and |
|
|
|
|
fluctuations in our manufacturing yields. |
41
Guidance Our Failure to Meet Our Guidance or Analyst Projections Could Adversely Impact the
Trading Prices of Our Securities
Periodically we provide guidance to investors with respect to certain financial information
for future periods. Securities analysts also periodically publish their own projections with
respect to our future operating results. As discussed above under Fluctuations in Operating
Results and Cash Flows Our Operating Results and Cash Flows Have Varied and May Vary
Significantly as a Result of Factors That We Cannot Control, our operating results and cash flow
vary significantly and are difficult to accurately predict. To the extent we fail to meet or exceed
our own guidance or the analyst projections for any reason, the trading prices of our securities
may be adversely impacted. Moreover, even if we do meet or exceed that guidance or those
projections, the analysts and investors may not react favorably and the trading prices of our
securities may be adversely impacted.
Declining Average Selling Prices The Semiconductor Industry Places Downward Pressure on the
Prices of Our Products.
Prices for packaging and test services have generally declined over time. Historically, we
have been able to partially offset the effect of price declines by successfully developing and
marketing new packages with higher prices, such as advanced leadframe and laminate packages, by
negotiating lower prices with our material vendors, recovering material cost increases from some of
our customers, and by driving engineering and technological changes in our packaging and test
processes which resulted in reduced manufacturing costs. Although the average selling prices of
some of our products have increased in recent periods, we expect general downward pressure on
average selling prices for our packaging and test services in the future. If we are unable to
offset a decline in average selling prices, including developing and marketing new packages with higher prices, reducing our purchasing
costs, recovering more of our material cost increases from our customers and reducing our
manufacturing costs, our future operating results will suffer.
Decisions by Our IDM Customers to Curtail Outsourcing May Adversely Affect Our Business.
Historically, we have been dependent on the trend in outsourcing of packaging and test
services by IDMs. Our IDM customers continually evaluate the outsourced services against their own
in-house packaging and test services. As a result, at any time, and for a variety of reasons, IDMs
may decide to shift some or all of their outsourced packaging and test services to internally
sourced capacity.
The reasons IDMs may shift their internal capacity include:
|
|
|
their desire to realize higher utilization of their existing test and packaging
capacity, especially during downturns in the semiconductor industry; |
|
|
|
|
their unwillingness to disclose proprietary technology; |
|
|
|
|
their possession of more advanced packaging and testing technologies; and |
|
|
|
|
the guaranteed availability of their own packaging and test capacity. |
Furthermore, to the extent we continue to limit capacity commitments for certain customers, these
customers may begin to increase their level of in-house packaging and test capabilities, which
could adversely impact our sales and profitability and make it more
difficult for us to regain their business when we have available
capacity. Any shift or a slowdown in this trend of outsourcing packaging and test
services is likely to adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In
a downturn in the semiconductor industry, IDMs may be especially
likely to respond by shifting some outsourced
packaging and test services to internally serviced capacity on a short term basis. This would have
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations,
especially during a prolonged industry downturn.
High Leverage and Restrictive Covenants Our Substantial Indebtedness Could Adversely Affect
Our Financial Condition and Prevent Us from Fulfilling Our Obligations.
Substantial Leverage. We now have, and for the foreseeable future will continue to have, a
significant amount of indebtedness. As of March 31, 2006, our total debt balance was $2,117.9
million, of which $339.1 million was classified as a current liability. In addition, despite
current debt levels, the terms of the indentures governing our indebtedness allow us or our
subsidiaries to incur more debt, subject to certain limitations. If new debt is added to our
consolidated debt level, the related risks that we now face could intensify.
42
Covenants in the agreements governing our existing debt, and debt we may incur in the future,
may materially restrict our operations, including our ability to incur debt, pay dividends, make
certain investments and payments, and encumber or dispose of assets. In addition, financial
covenants contained in agreements relating to our existing and future debt could lead to a default
in the event our results of operations do not meet our plans and we are unable to amend such
financial covenants. A default and acceleration under one debt instrument may also trigger
cross-acceleration under our other debt instruments. A default or event of default under one or
more of our revolving credit facilities would also preclude us from borrowing additional funds
under such facilities. An event of default under any debt instrument, if not cured or waived, could
have a material adverse effect on us.
Our substantial indebtedness could:
|
|
|
make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our indebtedness; |
|
|
|
|
increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; |
|
|
|
|
limit our ability to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, research and
development and other general corporate requirements; |
|
|
|
|
require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service payments on our debt; |
|
|
|
|
limit our flexibility to react to changes in our business and the industry in which we operate; |
|
|
|
|
place us at a competitive disadvantage to any of our competitors that have less debt; and |
|
|
|
|
limit, along with the financial and other restrictive covenants in our indebtedness,
among other things, our ability to borrow additional funds. |
History of Losses
Although we achieved net income and positive operating cash flow in the first quarter of
2006, we have had net losses in four of the previous five years and negative operating cash flow in
several previous quarters. There is no assurance that we will be able to sustain our current
profitability or avoid net losses in the future.
Ability to Fund Liquidity Needs
We operate in a capital intensive industry. Servicing our current and future customers
requires that we incur significant operating expenses and continue to make significant capital
expenditures, which are generally made in advance of the related revenues and without any firm
customer commitments. During 2005, we had capital additions of $294.8 million and in
2006 we currently anticipate making capital additions of approximately $300 million, which estimate
is subject to adjustment based on business conditions. In addition, we have a significant level of
debt, with $2,117.9 million outstanding at March 31, 2006, $339.1 million of which is current. The
terms of such debt require significant scheduled principal payments in the coming years, including
$182.0 million due during the remainder of 2006,
$175.6 million due in 2007, $461.9 million due in 2008,
$211.9 million due in
2009, $311.9 million due in 2010 and $774.6 million due thereafter. The interest payments required on our debt are
also substantial. For example, in 2005, our total interest paid was $168.6 million. (See Part
I, Item 2 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Capital Additions and Contractual Obligations for a summary of
principal and interest payments.)
The source of funds to fund our operations, including making capital expenditures and servicing
principal and interest obligations with respect to our debt, are cash flows from our operations,
current cash and cash equivalents, borrowings under available debt facilities, or proceeds from any
additional debt or equity financing. As of March 31, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of
$226.2 million and $97.5 million available under our senior secured revolving credit facility.
We assess our liquidity based on our current expectations regarding sales, operating expenses,
capital spending and debt service requirements. Based on this assessment, we believe that our cash
flow from operating activities together with existing cash and cash equivalents and availability
under our senior secured revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund our working capital,
capital expenditure and debt service requirements through March 31, 2007, including retiring the
remaining $132.0 million of our 5.75% convertible subordinated notes at maturity in June 2006 and
the $146.4 million of our 5.0% convertible subordinated notes at maturity in March 2007.
Thereafter, our liquidity will continue to be affected by, among other things, the performance of
our business, our capital expenditure levels and our ability to repay debt out of our operating
cash flow or refinance the debt with the proceeds of debt or equity offerings at or prior to
maturity. If our performance or access to the capital markets differs materially from our
expectations, our liquidity may be adversely impacted.
There is no assurance that we will generate the necessary net income or operating cash flows
to meet the funding needs of our business in the future due to a variety of factors, including the
cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry and the other factors discussed in this
Risk Factors section. If we are unable to do so, our liquidity would be adversely affected and
we would consider taking a variety of actions, including: reducing our operating expenses
(including closing facilities and reducing the size of our work force) and capital additions to
levels appropriate to support our incoming business, raising additional equity, borrowing
additional funds, refinancing existing indebtedness or taking other actions. There can be no
assurance, however, that we will be able to successfully take any of these actions, including
adjusting our expenses sufficiently or in a timely manner, or raising additional equity, increasing
borrowings or completing refinancings on any terms or on terms which are acceptable to
us. Our inability to take these actions as and when necessary would materially adversely affect
our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition.
Absence of Backlog The Lack of Contractually Committed Customer Demand May Adversely Affect
Our Sales.
Our packaging and test business does not typically operate with any material backlog. Our
quarterly net sales from packaging and test services are substantially dependent upon our
customers demand in that quarter. None of our customers have committed to purchase any
significant amount of packaging or test services or to provide us with binding forecasts of demand
for packaging and test services for any future period, in any material amount. In addition, our
customers often reduce, cancel or delay their purchases of packaging and test services for a
variety of reasons including industry-wide, customer-specific and Amkor-related reasons. Recently,
our customers demand for our services has increased; however, we cannot predict if this demand
trend will continue and the forecasted demand will materialize. Because a large portion of our
costs is fixed and our expense levels are based in part on our expectations of future revenues, we
may not be able to adjust costs in a timely manner to compensate for any sales shortfall. If we
are unable
43
to do so, it would adversely affect our margins, operating results, cash flows and financial
condition. If customer demand does not materialize as anticipated, our net sales, margins,
operating results, cash flows and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.
Risks Associated With International Operations We Depend on Our Factories and Operations in
China, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Singapore and Taiwan. Many of Our Customers and Vendors
Operations Are Also Located Outside of the U.S.
We provide packaging and test services through our factories and other operations located in
the China, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Singapore and Taiwan. Moreover, many of our customers
and vendors operations are located outside the U.S. The following are some of the risks inherent
in doing business internationally:
|
|
|
regulatory limitations imposed by foreign governments; |
|
|
|
|
fluctuations in currency exchange rates; |
|
|
|
|
political, military and terrorist risks; |
|
|
|
|
disruptions or delays in shipments caused by customs brokers or government agencies; |
|
|
|
|
unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, tariffs, customs, duties and other trade barriers; |
|
|
|
|
difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations; and |
|
|
|
|
potentially adverse tax consequences resulting from changes in tax laws. |
Difficulties Expanding and Evolving Our Operational Capabilities We Face Challenges as We
Integrate New and Diverse Operations and Try to Attract Qualified Employees to Support Our
Operations.
We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, growth in the scope and complexity
of our operations. For example, each business we have acquired had, at the time of acquisition,
multiple systems for managing its own production, sales, inventory and other operations. Migrating
these businesses to our systems typically is a slow, expensive process requiring us to divert
significant amounts of resources from multiple aspects of our operations. This growth has strained
our managerial, financial, plant operations and other resources. Future expansions may result in
inefficiencies as we integrate new operations and manage geographically diverse operations. Our
success depends to a significant extent upon the continued service of our key senior management and
technical personnel, any of whom may be difficult to replace. Competition for qualified employees
is intense, and our business could be adversely affected by the loss of the services of any of our
existing key personnel, including senior management, as a result of competition or for any other
reason. Additionally, as part of our ongoing strategic planning, we evaluate our management team
and engage in long-term succession planning in order to ensure orderly replacement of key
personnel. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in these efforts or in hiring and
properly training sufficient numbers of qualified personnel and in effectively managing our growth.
Our inability to attract, retain, motivate and train qualified new personnel could have a material
adverse effect on our business.
Dependence on Materials and Equipment Suppliers Our Business May Suffer If The Cost, Quality
or Supply of Materials or Equipment Changes Adversely.
We obtain from various vendors the materials and equipment required for the packaging and test
services performed by our factories. We source most of our materials, including critical materials
such as leadframes, laminate substrates and gold wire, from a limited group of suppliers.
Furthermore, we purchase the majority of our materials on a purchase order basis. From time to
time, we enter into supply agreements, generally up to one year in duration, to guarantee supply to
meet projected demand. Our business may be harmed if we cannot obtain materials and other
supplies from our vendors: in a timely manner, in sufficient quantities, in acceptable quality or
at competitive prices.
44
We need to purchase new packaging and testing equipment if we decide to expand our operations
(sometimes in anticipation of expected market demand), to manufacturer some new types of packaging, perform some
different testing or to replace equipment that breaks down or wears out. From time to time,
increased demand for new equipment may cause lead times to extend beyond those normally required by
equipment vendors. For example, in the past, increased demand for equipment caused some equipment
suppliers to only partially satisfy our equipment orders in the normal lead time frame or increase
prices during market upturns for the semiconductor industry. The unavailability of equipment or
failures to deliver equipment could delay implementation of our future expansion plans and impair
our ability to meet customer orders. If we are unable to implement our future expansion plans or
meet customer orders, we could lose potential and existing customers. Generally, we do not enter
into binding, long-term equipment purchase agreements and we acquire our equipment on a purchase
order basis, which exposes us to substantial risks. For example, sudden changes in foreign
currency exchange rates, particularly the US dollar and Japanese yen, could result in increased
prices for equipment purchased by us, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations.
We are a large buyer of gold and other commodities including substrates and copper. The price
of gold and other commodities used in our business has been increasing in recent quarters. The
increase in the price of the commodities may continue. We have been able to partially offset the
effect of commodity price increases through price adjustments to some customers and changes in our
product designs. The increase in commodity prices did, however, adversely impact our gross margin
in the quarter ended March 31, 2006 and may continue to do so in future quarters to the extent we
are unable to pass along past or future commodity price increases to many of our customers.
Loss of Customers The Loss of Certain Customers May Have a Significant Adverse Effect on the
Operations and Financial Results.
The loss of a large customer or disruption of our strategic partnerships or other commercial
arrangements may result in a decline in our sales and profitability. Although we have over 200 customers, we have derived and expect to continue to derive a large
portion of our revenues from a small group of customers during any particular period due in part to
the concentration of market share in the semiconductor industry. Our five largest customers
together accounted for approximately 25.2% and 26.0% of our net sales in 2005 and 2004,
respectively. No customer accounts for more than 10% of our net sales.
The demand for our services from each customer is directly dependent upon that customers
level of business activity, which could vary significantly from year to year. The loss of a large
customer may adversely affect our sales and profitability. Our key customers typically operate in
the cyclical semiconductor business and, in the past, have varied, and may vary in the future,
order levels significantly from period to period based on industry-, customer- or Amkor-specific
factors. We cannot assure you that these customers or any other customers will continue to place
orders with us in the future at the same levels as in past periods. The loss of one or more of our
significant customers, or reduced orders by any one of them, and our inability to replace these
customers or make up for such orders could reduce our profitability. For example, our facility in
Iwate, Japan, is primarily dedicated to a single customer, Toshiba Corporation. If we were to lose
Toshiba as a customer or if it were to materially reduce its business with us, it could be
difficult for us to find one or more new customers to utilize the capacity, which could have a
material adverse effect on our operations and financial results.
Capital Additions We Believe We Need To Make Substantial Capital Additions, Which May
Adversely Affect Our Business If Our Business Does Not Develop As We
Expect.
We believe that our business requires us to make significant capital additions in order to
capitalize on what we believe is an overall trend to outsourcing of packaging and test services. The
amount of capital additions will depend on several factors including, the performance of our
business, our assessment of future industry and customer demand, our
capacity utilization levels and availability, our liquidity
position and the availability of financing. Our ongoing capital addition requirements may strain
our cash and short-term asset balances, and we expect that depreciation expense and factory
operating expenses associated with our recent capital additions to increase production capacity will put
downward pressure on our gross margin, at least over the near term.
45
Furthermore, if we cannot generate or borrow additional funds to pay for capital additions as
well as research and development activities, our growth prospects and future profitability may be
adversely affected. Our ability to obtain external financing in the future is subject to a variety
of uncertainties, including:
|
|
|
our future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows; |
|
|
|
|
general market conditions for financing activities by semiconductor companies; and |
|
|
|
|
economic, political and other global conditions. |
The
lead time needed to order, install and put into service various
capital additions is often significant, and as a result we often need
to commit to capital additions in advance of our receipt of firm
orders or advance deposits based on our view of anticipated future
demand with only very limited visibility. Although we seek to limit
our exposure in this regard, in the past we have often expended
significant capital for additions for which the anticipated demand
did not materialize for a variety of reasons, many of which were
outside of our control. To the extent this occurs in the future, our
margins, liquidity, results of operations and financial condition
could be materially adversely affected.
Impairment Charges Any Impairment Charges Required Under GAAP May Have a Material Adverse
Effect on Our Net Income
Under GAAP, we are required to review our long-lived assets for impairment when events or
changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. In addition, goodwill
and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are required to be tested for impairment at least
annually. We may be required in the future to record a significant charge to earnings in our
financial statements during the period in which any impairment of our long-lived assets is
determined. Such charges have a significant adverse impact on our results of operations and
financial condition.
Increased Litigation Incident to Our Business Our Business May Suffer as a Result of Our
Involvement in Various Lawsuits.
We are currently a party to various legal proceedings, including those described in Part II,
Item 1 Legal Proceedings in this Report on Form 10-Q. Much of our recent increase in litigation
relates to an allegedly defective epoxy compound, formerly used in some of our products, which is
alleged to be responsible for certain semiconductor chip failures. We have recently settled the
last outstanding mold compound litigation, however if other customers were to make similar claims,
there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our operating results in the period in
which the ruling occurs. We also recently have been named as a party in a purported securities
class action suit entitled Nathan Weiss et al. v. Amkor Technology, Inc. et al. (and several
similar cases), and in purported shareholder derivative lawsuits entitled Scimeca v. Kim, et al.
and Kahn v. Kim, et al., as described in greater detail in the Part I, Item 2 under the caption
Litigation Other Litigation above. While we currently believe that the ultimate outcome of
these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on
our financial position, results of operations or cash flows,
litigation and other legal proceedings are subject to inherent
uncertainties. If an unfavorable ruling or outcome were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material
adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. An unfavorable
ruling or outcome could also have a negative impact on the trading price of our securities. The estimate of
the potential impact from the legal proceedings referred to in this
Form 10-Q on our financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows could change in the future.
Pending SEC Investigation The Pending SEC Investigation Could Adversely Affect Our
Business and the Trading Price of Our Securities
In August 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a formal order of
investigation regarding certain activities with respect to Amkor securities. As previously
announced, the primary focus of the investigation appears to be activities during the period from
June 2003 to July 2004. Amkor believes that the investigation continues to relate primarily to
transactions in the Companys securities by certain individuals, and that the
46
investigation may in part relate to whether tipping with respect to trading in Amkor securities
occurred. The matters at issue involve activities with respect to Amkor securities during the
subject period by certain insiders or former insiders and persons or entities associated with them,
including activities by or on behalf of certain current and former members of the Board of
Directors and Amkors Chief Executive Officer. Amkor has cooperated fully with the SEC on the
formal investigation and the informal inquiry that preceded it. Amkor cannot predict the outcome of
the investigation. In the event that the investigation leads to SEC action against any current or
former officer or director of the Company, or the Company itself, our
business (including our ability to complete
financing transactions) or the trading price of our securities may be adversely impacted. In
addition, if the SEC investigation continues for a prolonged period of time, it may have the same
impact regardless of the ultimate outcome of the investigation.
We Could Suffer Adverse Tax and Other Financial Consequences if Taxing Authorities Do Not Agree
with Our Interpretation of Applicable Tax Laws
The Companys corporate structure and operations are based, in part, on interpretations of
various tax laws, including withholding tax and other relevant laws of applicable taxing
jurisdictions. From time to time the taxing authorities of the relevant jurisdictions may conduct
examinations of our income tax returns. We cannot assure you that the taxing authorities will
agree with our interpretations. To the extent they do not agree, we may seek to enter into
settlements with the taxing authorities which require significant payments or otherwise adversely
affect our results of operations or financial condition. We may also appeal the taxing authorities
determinations to the appropriate governmental authorities, but we can not be sure we will prevail.
If we do not prevail, we may have to make significant payments or otherwise record charges (or
reduce tax assets) that adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.
For example, during 2003 the Internal Revenue Service conducted an examination of our U.S.
federal income tax returns relating to years 2000 and 2001, which resulted in a settlement pursuant
to which various adjustments were made, including reductions in our U.S. net operating loss
carryforwards. In addition, during 2005, the IRS conducted a limited scope examination of our U.S.
federal income tax returns relating to years 2002 and 2003, primarily reviewing inter-company
transfer pricing and cost-sharing issues carried over from the 2000 and 2001 examination cycle, as
a result of which we agreed to further reductions in our net operating loss carryforwards. Future
examinations by the taxing authorities in the United States or other jurisdictions may result in
additional adverse tax consequences. Our tax examinations and the related adjustments are described
in greater detail in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements above.
Rapid Technological Change Our Business Will Suffer If We Cannot Keep Up With Technological
Advances in Our Industry.
The complexity and breadth of semiconductor packaging and test services are rapidly
increasing. As a result, we expect that we will need to offer more advanced package designs in
order to respond to competitive industry conditions and customer requirements. Our success depends
upon our ability to acquire, develop and implement new manufacturing processes and package design
technologies and tools. The need to develop and maintain advanced packaging capabilities and
equipment could require significant research and development and capital expenditures and
acquisitions in future years. In addition, converting to new package designs or process
methodologies could result in delays in producing new package types, which could adversely affect
our ability to meet customer orders and adversely impact our business.
Technological advances also typically lead to rapid and significant price erosion and may make
our existing products less competitive or our existing inventories obsolete. If we cannot achieve
advances in package design or obtain access to advanced package designs developed by others, our
business could suffer.
Packaging and Testing The Packaging and Testing Process Is Complex and Our Production Yields
and Customer Relationships May Suffer from Defects in the Services We Provide.
Semiconductor packaging and testing are complex processes that require significant
technological and process expertise. The packaging process is complex and involves a number of
precise steps. Defective packages primarily result from:
47
|
|
|
contaminants in the manufacturing environment; |
|
|
|
|
human error; |
|
|
|
|
equipment malfunction; |
|
|
|
|
changing processes to address environmental requirements; |
|
|
|
|
defective raw materials; or |
|
|
|
|
defective plating services. |
Testing is also complex and involves sophisticated equipment and software. Similar
to most software programs, these software programs are complex and may contain programming errors
or bugs. The testing equipment is also subject to
malfunction. In addition, the testing process is subject to operator
error by our employees who operate our testing equipment and related software.
These and other factors have, from time to time, contributed to lower production yields. They may
also do so in the future, particularly as we expand our capacity or change our processing steps. In
addition, to be competitive, we must continue to expand our offering of packages. Our production
yields on new packages typically are significantly lower than our production yields on our more
established packages.
Our failure to maintain high standards or acceptable production yields, if significant and
prolonged, could result in loss of customers, increased costs of production, delays, substantial
amounts of returned goods and claims by customers relating thereto. Any of these problems could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, in line with industry practice, new customers usually require us to pass a
lengthy and rigorous qualification process that may take as long as six months, at a significant
cost to the customer. If we fail to qualify packages with potential customers or customers with
which we have recently become qualified do not use our services, our operating results and
financial condition could be adversely affected.
Competition We Compete Against Established Competitors in the Packaging and Test Business as
Well as Internal Customer Capabilities.
The subcontracted semiconductor packaging and test market is very competitive. We face
substantial competition from established packaging and test service providers primarily located in
Asia, including companies with significant processing capacity, financial resources, research and
development operations, marketing and other capabilities. These companies also have established
relationships with many large semiconductor companies that are our current or potential customers.
We also face competition from the internal capabilities and capacity of many of our
current and potential integrated device manufacturers (IDM) customers.
In addition, we may in the future to compete with a number of companies that may enter the
market and with companies that may offer new or emerging technologies that compete with our
products and services.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully in the future against our
existing or potential competitors or that our customers will not rely on internal sources for test
and packaging services, or that our business, financial condition and results of operations will
not be adversely affected by such increased competition.
48
Environmental Regulations Future Environmental Regulations Could Place Additional Burdens on
Our Manufacturing Operations.
The semiconductor packaging process uses chemicals and gases and generates byproducts that are
subject to extensive governmental regulations. For example, at our foreign facilities we produce
liquid waste when silicon wafers are diced into chips with the aid of diamond saws, then cooled
with running water. Federal, state and local regulations in the U.S., as well as international
environmental regulations, impose various controls on the storage, handling, discharge and disposal
of chemicals used in our production processes and on the factories we occupy and are increasingly
imposing restrictions on the materials contained in packaging products.
Increasingly, public attention has focused on the environmental impact of semiconductor
operations and the risk to neighbors of chemical releases from such operations and to the materials
contained in semiconductor products. For example, the European Unions recently enacted the
Directives on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), and the Restriction of Use of
Certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS), impose strict restrictions on the use of lead and other
hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment and are expected to begin taking effect
July 1, 2006. In response to these directives, we have implemented changes in a number of our
manufacturing processes in an effort to achieve RoHS compliance across all of our package types.
Complying with existing and future environmental regulations may impose upon us the need for
additional capital equipment or other process requirements, restrict our ability to expand our
operations, disrupt our operations, subject us to liability or cause us to curtail our operations.
Protection of Intellectual Property We May Become Involved in Intellectual Property
Litigation.
We maintain an active program to protect our investment in technology by augmenting and
enforcing our intellectual property rights. Intellectual property rights that apply to our various
products and services include patents, copyrights, trade secrets and trademarks. We have filed and
obtained a number of patents in the U.S. and abroad the duration of which varies depending on the
jurisdiction in which the patent is filed. While our patents are an important element of our
intellectual property strategy and our success, as a whole we are not materially dependent on any
one patent or any one technology. We expect to continue to file patent applications when
appropriate to protect our proprietary technologies, but we cannot assure you that we will receive
patents from pending or future applications.
Any patents we do obtain may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented and may not provide
meaningful protection or other commercial advantage to us. In fact, the semiconductor industry is
characterized by frequent claims regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. If any
third party makes an enforceable infringement claim against us, we could be required to:
|
|
|
discontinue the use of certain processes; |
|
|
|
|
cease to provide the services at issue; |
|
|
|
|
pay substantial damages; |
|
|
|
|
develop non-infringing technologies; or |
|
|
|
|
acquire licenses to the technology we had allegedly infringed. |
We may need to enforce our patents or other intellectual property rights or defend ourselves
against claimed infringement of the rights of others through litigation, which could result in
substantial cost and diversion of our resources. Furthermore, if we fail to obtain necessary
licenses, our business could suffer. We are currently involved in three legal proceedings
involving the acquisition of intellectual property rights, or the enforcement of our existing
intellectual property rights. We refer you to the matters of Amkor Technology, Inc. v. Carsem, et
al., Amkor Technology, Inc. v. Motorola, Inc., and Tessera, Inc. v. Amkor Technology, Inc., which
are described in more detail in Note 13 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements included in this Report.
49
Fire, Flood or Other Calamity With Our Operations Conducted in a Limited Number of Facilities,
a Fire, Flood or Other Calamity at one of Our Facilities Could Adversely Affect Us.
We conduct our packaging and testing operations at a limited number of facilities. Significant
damage or other impediments to any of these facilities, whether as a result of fire, weather,
disease, civil strife, industrial strikes, breakdowns of equipment, difficulties or delays in
obtaining materials and equipment, natural disasters, terrorist incidents, industrial accidents or
other causes could temporarily disrupt or even shut down our operations, which would have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In the
event of such a disruption or shutdown, we may be unable to reallocate production to other
facilities in a timely or cost-effective manner (if at all) and may not have sufficient capacity to
service customer demands in our other facilities. For example, our operations in Asia are
vulnerable to regional typhoons that can bring with them destructive winds and torrential rains,
which could in turn cause plant closures and transportation interruptions. In addition, some of the
processes that we utilize in our operations place us at risk of fire and other damage. For example,
highly flammable gases are used in the preparation of wafers holding semiconductor devices for
flip-chip packaging. While we maintain insurance policies for various types of property, casualty
and other risks, we do not carry insurance for all the above referred risks and with regard to the
insurance we do maintain, we cannot assure you that it would be sufficient to cover all of our
potential losses.
SARS, Avian Flu and Other Contagious Diseases Any Recurrence of SARS or Outbreak of Avian Flu
or Other Contagious Disease May Have an Adverse Effect on the Economies and Financial Markets of
Certain Asian Countries and May Adversely Affect Our Results of Operations.
In the first half of 2003, various countries encountered an outbreak of severe acute
respiratory syndrome, or SARS, which is a highly contagious form of atypical pneumonia. In
addition, there have been outbreaks of avian flu and other contagious diseases in various parts of
the world. There is no guarantee that an outbreak of SARS, avian flu or other contagious disease
will not occur again in the future (and maybe with much more widespread and devastating effects)
and that any such future outbreak of SARS, avian flu or other contagious disease, or the measures
taken by the governments of the affected countries against such potential outbreaks, will not
seriously disrupt our production operations or those of our suppliers and customers, including by
resulting in quarantines or closures. In the event of such a facility quarantine or closure, if we
were unable to quickly identify alternate manufacturing facilities, this would have
a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations, as would the
inability of our suppliers to continue to supply us and our customers continuing to purchase from
us.
Continued Control By Existing Stockholders Mr. James J. Kim and Members of His Family Can
Substantially Control The Outcome of All Matters Requiring Stockholder Approval.
As of March 31, 2006, Mr. James J. Kim, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board,
and certain Family trusts beneficially owned approximately 46% of our outstanding common stock.
This percentage includes beneficial ownership of the securities underlying our 6.25% convertible
subordinated notes due 2013. Mr. James J. Kims family, acting together, have the ability to
effectively determine matters (other than interested party transactions) submitted for approval by
our stockholders by voting their shares, including the election of all of the members of our Board
of Directors. There is also the potential, through the election of
members of our Board of Directors, that Mr. Kims family
could substantially influence matters decided upon by the Board of
Directors. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of impeding a merger,
consolidation, takeover or other business consolidation involving us, or discouraging a potential
acquirer from making a tender offer for our shares, and could also negatively affect our stocks
market price or decrease any premium over market price that an acquirer might otherwise pay.
