Independent Auditors’ Report


INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the six months then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. However, we did not audit the financial statements of Taiwan International Standard Electronics Co., Ltd. and of Senao Networks, Inc. As of June 30, 2007, the carrying values of the investments in those companies were NT$796,430 thousand. The equity in their net gain amounted to NT$14,925 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The financial statements of Taiwan International Standard Electronics Co., Ltd. and of Senao Networks, Inc. as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2007, were audited by other auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for these investees, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.

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

In our opinion, according to our audit result and auditor report of other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and consolidated cash flows for the six months then ended in conformity with the Securities and Exchange Act, the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, requirements of the Business Accounting Law and Guidelines Governing Business Accounting relevant to financial accounting standards, and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.

 

- 1 -


As stated in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, on January 1, 2006, Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries adopted the newly released Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 34, “Accounting for Financial Instruments” (“SFAS No. 34”), and No. 36, “Disclosure and Presentation for Financial Instruments” (“SFAS No. 36”), and related revisions of previously released standards.

August 16, 2007

Notice to Readers

The accompanying financial statements are intended only to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdictions. The standards, procedures and practices to audit such financial statements are those generally accepted and applied in the Republic of China.

For the convenience of readers, the auditors’ report and the accompanying financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language auditors’ report and financial statements shall prevail.

(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise)

 

1. GENERAL

Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. (“Chunghwa” or “the Company”) was incorporated on July 1, 1996 in the Republic of China (“ROC”) pursuant to the Telecommunications Act No. 30. The Company is a company limited by shares and, prior to August 2000, was wholly owned by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (“MOTC”). Prior to July 1, 1996, the current operations of Chunghwa were carried out under the Directorate General of Telecommunications (“DGT”). The DGT was established by the MOTC in June 1943 to take primary responsibility in the development of telecommunications infrastructure and to formulate policies related to telecommunications. On July 1, 1996, the telecom operations of the DGT were spun-off to Chunghwa. The DGT continues to be the telecom industry regulator in the ROC.

As a telecommunications service provider of fixed-line and cellular telephone services, within the meaning of applicable telecommunications regulations of the ROC, the Company is subject to additional requirements imposed by the MOTC.

Effective August 12, 2005, the MOTC had completed the process of privatizing the Company by reducing the government ownership to below 50% in various stages. In July 2000, the Company received approval from the Securities and Futures Commission (the “SFC”) for a domestic initial public offering and its common shares were listed and traded on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (the “TSE”) on October 27, 2000. Certain of the Company’s common shares had been sold, in connection with the foregoing privatization plan, in domestic public offerings at various dates from August 2000 to July 2003. Certain of the Company’s common shares had also been sold in an international offering of securities in the form of American Depository Shares (“ADS”) in July 17, 2003 and were listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). The MOTC sold 289,431 thousand common shares of the Company by auction in the ROC on August 9, 2005 and 1,350,682 thousand common shares of the Company on August 10, 2005 in an international offering. Upon completion of the share transfers associated with these offerings on August 12, 2005, the MOTC owned less than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company and completed the privatization plan.

SENAO International Co., Ltd. (“SENAO”) was incorporated in 1979. SENAO engages mainly in Telecommunication facilities sales. The Company acquired 31.33% shares of SENAO on January 15, 2007 and has control in SENAO by obtaining the concurrence of one-half or more directors on April 12, 2007.

The Company invested Chunghwa International Yellow Pages Co., Ltd. (“CIYP”) in January, 2007. CIYP engages mainly in yellow pages sales and advertisement services.

CHIEF Telecom Inc. (“CHIEF”) was incorporated in 1991. CHIEF engages mainly in internet communication and internet date center (“IDC”) service. The Company has acquired 70% shares of CHIEF on September, 2006.

The Company has established New Prospect Investments Holdings Ltd. (“New Prospect”) and Prime Asia Investments Group Ltd. (“Prime Asia”) in March 2006, but not on operating stage yet. Both holding companies are operating as investment companies and Chungwa has 100% ownership right in an amount of US$1 in each holding company.

Taiwan Icon, Inc. (“Taiwan Icon”) which is the subsidiary of SENAO was incorporated in October, 2003. Taiwan Icon engages mainly in Telecommunication facilities sales.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with the Securities and Exchange Act, the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, requirements of Business Accounting Law, Guidelines Governing Business Accounting relevant to financial accounting standards, and accounting principles generally accepted in the ROC (“ROC GAAP”). The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the recorded amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the Group. The Group continually evaluates these estimates, including those related to allowances for doubtful accounts, valuation allowances on inventories, useful lives of long term assets, pension plans and income tax. The Group bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions, which it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant accounting policies are summarized as follows:

Current assets are commonly identified as those which are reasonably expected to be realized in cash, sold or consumed within one year. Current liabilities are obligations which mature within one year. Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are noncurrent assets and liabilities, respectively.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are commercial paper and bond with resale agreements purchased with maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Financial Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss

Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets or liabilities held for trading and those designated on initial recognition to be measured at fair value with fair value changes recognized in profit or loss. On initial recognition, the financial instruments are recognized at fair value plus transaction costs and are subsequently measured at fair value with fair value changes recognized in profit or loss. Once the Company becomes contractual in a financial instrument arrangement, the financial instruments are eligible for classification as assets or liabilities. If the contractual arrangement is outside the control of the Company, the financial instruments will be derecognized in assets. If the contractual arrangement gives the Company a right of redemption, cancellation or elimination upon expiration, the financial instruments will be derecognized in liabilities.

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value, with transaction costs expensed as incurred. The derivatives are remeasured at fair value subsequently with the changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Cash dividends received (including the year of investment) is recognized in earnings. When the financial instruments are derecognized, the difference between sales proceeds or cash payment and principal amount shall be accounted for as profits and losses. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is accounted for using trade date accounting.

Derivatives that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting are classified as financial assets or financial liabilities. When the fair value is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset. When the fair value is negative, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.

Available-for-sale Financial Assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. When subsequently measured at fair value, the changes in fair value are excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The accumulated gains or losses are recognized in earnings when the financial asset is derecognized from the balance sheet. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is accounted for using trade date accounting.

The policy for recognition and derecognition of available-for-sale financial assets are similar to financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

 

- 12 -


The basis for determining the fair value of financial instruments is as follows: Listed stocks, closing prices as of balance sheet date; open-end mutual funds, net assets value as of balance sheet date; bonds, quotes in the OTC market as of balance sheet date; financial instruments without active market, fair value are estimated using valuation techniques incorporating estimates and assumptions that are consistent with prevailing market conditions.

Cash dividends are recognized as investment income upon the grant day but are accounted for as reductions to the original cost of investment if such dividends are declared on the earnings of the investees attributable to periods prior to the purchase of the investments. Stock dividends are recorded as an increase in the number of shares held and do not affect investment income. The cost per share is recalculated based on the new number of shares.

If there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired, a loss is recognized. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases, for equity securities, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed to the extent of the decrease and recorded as an adjustment to shareholders’ equity. For debt securities, the amount of the decrease is recognized in earnings, provided that the decrease is clearly attributable to an event which occurred after the impairment loss was recognized.

Held-to-maturity Financial Assets

Held-to-maturity financial assets are carried at amortized cost under the effective interest method. Those financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. Gains or losses are recognized at the time of derecognition, impairment or amortization. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is accounted for using trade date accounting.

If there is objective evidence which indicates that a financial asset is impaired, a loss is recognized. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease is clearly attributable to an event which occurred after the impairment loss was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed to the extent of the decrease. The reversal may not result in a carrying amount that exceeds the amortized cost that would have been determined as if no impairment loss had been recognized.

Revenue Recognition, Account Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Receivables

Revenues are recognized when revenues are realized or realizable and earned. Related costs are expensed as incurred.

Service revenue is based on the fair value of the sales price, after business discount and quantity discount, between the Company and customer. The sales price of service revenue is the amount which matures within one year. The difference between fair value and maturity value is not material and the transactions occur frequently so the interest factor is not included in calculating fair value.

Usage revenues from fixed-line services (including local, domestic long distance and international long distance), cellular services, Internet and data services, and interconnection and call transfer fees from other telecommunications companies and carriers are billed in arrears and are recognized based upon minutes of traffic processed when the services are provided in accordance with contract terms.

Other revenues are recognized as follows: (a) one-time subscriber connection fees (on fixed-line services) are deferred and recognized over the average expected customer service periods, (b) fixed-monthly fees (on fixed-line services, wireless and Internet and data services) are accrued every month, and (c) prepaid services (fixed line, cellular and Internet) are recognized as income based upon actual usage by customers or when the right to use those services expires.

Allowance for doubtful receivables is provided on the basis of the aging of the receivables and estimated collectibility of individual receivables. The Group periodically evaluates the collectibility of receivables in consideration of client’s receivable aging analysis.

Inventories

The Group inventories are stated at the lower of cost (weighted-average cost) or market value (replacement cost or net realizable value).

Investments Accounted for Using Equity Method

Investments in shares of stock in companies where the Company exercises significant influence in their operating and financial policy decisions are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment is initially stated at cost and subsequently adjusted for its proportionate share in the net earnings of the investee companies. Any cash dividends received are recognized as a reduction in the carrying value of the investments. Unrealized profits arising from downstream transactions to equity investees are deferred in the Company’s portion of equity income or loss, depending on whether the investor has controlling power over investees or not. Unrealized profits and losses on sales to investees over which the Company has a controlling power are totally eliminated. Otherwise should be deferred in proportion to the Company’s ownership percentage. Profits and losses arising from equipment purchases from equity investees are eliminated and recognized over the estimated remaining useful life of the equipment.

With respect to investment purchase or adoption of the equity method of accounting, effective on January 1, 2006, in accordance with the revised accounting pronouncement, goodwill is recognized by the difference that the cost of investment is exceeding the fair value of the acquisition. Goodwill can not be amortized, but is subject to a goodwill impairment test. If there is a triggering event or change in circumstance, the goodwill impairment test will be performed. If the fair value of the identifiable net assets exceeds the cost of investment, the difference should be allocated to the noncurrent assets (with exception of non-equity financial assets, assets in the suspense accounts, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and prepaid pension costs or other expenses related to pension plans) and reduced in proportion to the amount of their fair value. If there is still a difference after the purchase price allocation, the difference will be accounted for as extraordinary profits.

When the Company subscribes for additional investees shares at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment in the investee differs from the amount of the Company share of the investee equity. The Company records such a difference as an adjustment to long-term investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus. If the capital surplus account is not enough for debiting purposes, any remaining decrease is debited to unappropriated retained earnings.

Financial Assets Carried at Cost

Investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are carried at original cost, such as non-publicly traded stocks. If there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired, a loss is recognized. No recording of a subsequent recovery in fair value is allowed.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost plus a revaluation increment, if any, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. The interest costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction of a qualifying asset are capitalized as property, plant and equipment. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed currently.

An impairment loss is recognized when the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount. A reversal of the impairment loss is recognized if there is a subsequent recovery in the value of the asset. The recoverable amount cannot exceed the original cost less accumulated depreciation. An impairment loss on a revalued asset is recognized directly against capital surplus from revaluation for the asset to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount in the capital surplus from revaluation for that same asset. A reversal of an impairment loss on a revalued asset is credited directly to shareholder’s

 

- 14 -


equity-other adjustments from revaluation under the heading shareholder’s equity-other adjustments from revaluation. However, to the extent that an impairment loss on the same revalued asset was previously recognized in profit or loss, a reversal of that impairment loss is also recognized in profit or loss.

Depreciation expense is determined based upon the asset’s estimated useful life using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives are as follows: land improvements, 10 to 30 years; buildings, 10 to 60 years; machinery and equipment, 5 to 10 years; telecommunication network facilities, 5 to 30 years; and miscellaneous equipment, 2 to 10 years.

Upon sale or disposal of property, plant and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss is credited or charged to income.

Intangible Assets

The amount recorded for the 3G Concession is amortized upon the MOTC approval of using the straight-line method over the lower of the legal useful life or estimated useful life. Computer software costs and Patents are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 20 years. Amortization on goodwill is prohibited.

From January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the newly released Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 37, “Intangible Assets.” Expenditure on research shall be recognized as an expense when it is incurred. Development Costs are capitalized when those costs meet relative criteria and are amortized upon the assets’ estimated useful life using the straight-line method. Development costs not meet relative criteria shall be recognized as expenses when it is incurred.

An impairment loss is recognized when the recoverable amount of an intangible asset other than goodwill is less than its carrying amount. A reversal of the impairment loss is recognized if there is a subsequent recovery in the value of the asset. The recoverable amount cannot exceed the original cost less accumulated amortization. Reversal of a previously recognized impairment loss on goodwill is prohibited.

Non-operating Assets

Idle assets and lease assets which are classified other assets are carried at the lower of fair value or carrying amount. Depreciation expenses are classified as other expenses.

Pension Costs

Pension costs subject to defined benefit plan are recognized according to the actuarial report. Pension costs subject to defined contribution plan are recognized according to the amount of contributions during the employees’ service period.

Expense Recognition

Expenses including commissions paid to agencies and handset subsidy costs paid to vendors that sell handsets to customers who subscribe to services as an inducement to enter into a service contract, are charged to income as incurred.

Treasury Stock

Cost of treasury stock is shown as a deduction to stockholders’ equity. Treasury stock is record and is shown as a reduction to stockholders’ equity. Upon cancellation of treasury stock, the accounts of common stock and treasury stock are reversed out based on the number of shares registered to be cancelled. The account of additional paid-in capital is adjusted for the difference of the repurchase price and the par value of common stock. If capital surplus is not enough for debiting purposes, the difference is debited to unappropriated retained earnings.

Share-based Compensation

Employee stock option plans that are amended or have options granted on or after January 1, 2004 are accounted for by the interpretations issued by the Accounting Research and Development Foundation. The Group adopted the intrinsic value method and any compensation cost determined using this method is recognized in earnings over the employee vesting period.

Income Tax

The Group accounts for income tax using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax is recognized for investment tax credits and tax consequences of differences between financial statement carrying amounts and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance is recognized if, available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that a portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. A deferred tax asset or liability should be classified as current or noncurrent according to the classification of its related asset or liability. However, if a deferred asset or liability cannot be related to an asset or liability in the financial statements, it should be classified as current or noncurrent depending on the expected reversal date of the temporary difference.

Investment tax credits utilized are recognized as reduction of income tax expense.

Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.

Income taxes (10%) on undistributed earnings is recorded in the year when the stockholders have resolved that the earnings shall be retained.

Foreign-currency Transactions

The functional currency of the Group is the local currency, the New Taiwan dollar. Thus, the transactions of the Group that are denominated in currencies other than the New Taiwan dollars (the “foreign currency”) are recorded in New Taiwan dollars at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Gains or losses realized upon the settlement of a foreign currency transaction are included in the period in which the transaction is settled. The balances, at the balance sheet dates, of the foreign currency assets and liabilities are adjusted to reflect the prevailing exchange rates, and the resulting differences are recorded as follows:

 

  a. Financial assets and liabilities - credited or charged to current income; and

 

  b. Long-term stock investments accounted for by the equity method - as cumulative translation adjustment under stockholders’ equity.

Derivative Financial Assets for Hedging

The derivative financial assets for hedging is measured at fair value with fair value changes recognized in profit or loss.

Hedge Accounting

Gains and losses on a qualifying fair value hedge shall be accounted for as follows:

 

  a. The gain or loss on the hedging instrument shall be currently recognized in earnings.

 

  b. The gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk shall adjust the carrying amount of the hedged item and be currently recognized in earnings.

3. REASON AND EFFECT OF THE CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

On January 1, 2006, the Group adopted the newly released Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 34 “Accounting for Financial Instruments” (“SFAS No. 34”) and No. 36 “Disclosure and Presentation for Financial Instruments” (SFAS No. 36) and related revisions of previously released SFASs.

The Group had categorized its financial assets and liabilities upon initial adoption of the newly released SFASs. The adjustments made to the carrying amounts of the financial instruments categorized as available-for-sale financial assets were recognized as adjustments to stockholders’ equity.

Under the ROC Company Law, capital surplus can only be utilized to offset deficits or be declared as stock dividends. Also, such capital surplus and donations can only be declared as a stock dividend by the Company at an amount calculated in accordance with the provisions of existing regulations.

In addition, before distributing a dividend or making any other distribution to stockholders, the Company must pay all outstanding taxes, recover any past losses and set aside a legal reserve equal to 10% of its net income, and depending on its business needs or requirements, may also set aside a special reserve. In accordance with the Articles of Incorporation, no less than 50% of the remaining earnings comprising remaining balance of net income, if any, plus cumulative undistributed earnings shall be distributed in the following order: (a) from 2% to 5% of distributable earnings shall be distributed to employees as employee bonus in the following years after privatization; (b) no more than 0.2% of distributable earnings shall be distributed to board of directors and supervisors as remuneration in the following years after privatization. During the year of privatization, the distributable earnings for the aforementioned (a) and (b) are limited to the earnings generated after privatization. The remaining distributable earnings can be distributed to the shareholders based on the resolution of shareholders’ meeting; and (c) cash dividends to be distributed shall not be less than 50% of the total amount of dividends to be distributed. If cash dividends to be distributed is less than NT$0.10 per share, such cash dividend shall be distributed in the form of common shares.

Telecommunications service is a Taiwan’s capital-intensive industry and the Company requires capital expenditures to sustain its competitive position in high-growth market. Thus, the Company’s dividend policy takes into account future capital expenditure outlays. In this regard, a portion of the earnings may be retained to finance these capital expenditures. The remaining earnings can then be distributed as dividends if approved by the stockholders in the following year and will be recorded in the financial statements of that year.

Under the ROC Company Law, the appropriation for legal reserve shall be made until the accumulated reserve equals the aggregate par value of the outstanding capital stock of the Company. This reserve can only be used to offset a deficit, or when reaching 50% of the aggregate par value of the outstanding capital stock of the Company, up to 50% of the reserve may, at the option of the Company, be declared as a stock dividend and transferred to capital.

The appropriations and distributions of the 2006 and 2005 earnings of the company have been approved and resolved by the stockholders on June 15, 2007 and May 30, 2006 as follows:

According to the communication letter (#0960004447) dated August 6, 2007, the Executive Yuan ratified that the Ministry of Interior Affair (the “Ministry”) can dissolve the Fixed-Line Fund effective on or after January 1, 2008.

  b. Methods and assumptions used in the determination of fair values of financial instruments:

 

  1) The fair values of certain financial instruments recognized in the balance sheet generally correspond to the market prices of the financial assets. Because of the short maturities of these instruments, the carrying value represents a reasonable basis to estimate fair values. This method does not apply to the financial instruments discussed in Notes 2, 3 and 4 below.

 

  2) If the financial assets at fair value through profit and loss have quoted market prices in an active market, the quoted market prices are viewed as fair values. If the market price of the financial assets are not immediately available, they must be calculated using standard valuation models on the basis of current market parameters.

 

  3) Long-term investments are based on the net asset values of the investments in investees, if quoted market prices are not available.

 

  4) The fair value of long-term loans (including current portion) is discounted value based on projected cash flow. The projected cash flows were discounted using the maturity dates of long-term loans.

  d. Information about financial risks

 

  1) Market risk

The foreign exchange rate fluctuations would result in the Group’s foreign-currency-dominated assets and liabilities and open forward exchange contracts exposed to fair value risk and cash flow risk.

The fluctuations of market price would result in the index future contracts exposed to fair value risk and cash flow risk.

The financial instruments categorized as available-for-sale financial assets are mainly listed stocks and open-end mutual funds. Therefore, the market risk is the fluctuations of market price. In order to manage this risk, the Group would assess the risk before investing, therefore, no material market risk are anticipated.

 

  2) Credit risk

Credit risk represents the potential loss that would be incurred by the Group if the counter-parties or third-parties breached contracts. Financial instruments with positive fair values at the balance sheet date are evaluated for credit risk. The counter-parties or third-parties to the foregoing financial instruments are reputable financial institutions and business organizations. Management believes that the Group’s exposure to default by those parties is low.

 

  3) Liquidation risk

The Group has sufficient operating capital to meet cash needs upon settlement of derivative financial instruments. Therefore, the cash flow risk is low.

The financial instruments of the Group categorized as available-for-sale financial assets are publicly-traded, easily converted to cash. Therefore, no material liquidation risk are anticipated. The financial instruments categorized as financial assets carried at cost are investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market. Therefore, material liquidation risk are anticipated.

 

- 36 -


  4) Cash flow interest rate risk

The Group mainly engages in investments in fixed-interest-rate debt securities. Therefore, cash flows are not expected to fluctuate significantly due to changes in market interest rates.

 

  e. Fair value hedge

The Company entered into forward exchange contracts is mainly to hedge the fluctuation in exchange rates, which is fair value hedge. The transaction was assessed effectiveness during the first half year the hedge of 2007, we regard it as highly effective.

Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd.

Financial Statements for the

Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and

Independent Auditors’ Report


INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the six months then ended, all expressed in New Taiwan dollars. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. However, we did not audit the financial statements of Taiwan International Standard Electronics Co. Ltd. and of Senao Networks, Inc.(an equity-method investee of the Company’s subsidiary, Senao International Co., Ltd., Inc.) for the six months ended June 30, 2007. As of June 30, 2007, the carrying values of the investments in those companies were NT$614,285 thousand. The equity in their net loss amounted to NT$16,641 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The financial statements of Taiwan International Standard Electronics Co., Ltd. and of Senao Networks Inc.(an equity-method investee of the Company’s subsidiary, Senao International Co., Ltd., Inc.) as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2007, were audited by other auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for these investees, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.

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

In our opinion, according to our audit result and auditor report of other auditors, the financial statements referred to first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the six months then ended in conformity with the Securities and Exchange Act, the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, requirements of the Business Accounting Law and Guidelines Governing Business Accounting relevant to financial accounting standards, and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.

As stated in Note 3 to the financial statements, on January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the newly released Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 34, “Accounting for Financial Instruments” (“SFAS No. 34”), and No. 36, “Disclosure and Presentation for Financial Instruments” (“SFAS No. 36”), and related revisions of previously released standards.

 

- 1 -


We have also audited the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2007, and have expressed an modified unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

August 16, 2007

Notice to Readers

The accompanying financial statements are intended only to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdictions. The standards, procedures and practices to audit such financial statements are those generally accepted and applied in the Republic of China.

For the convenience of readers, the auditors’ report and the accompanying financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language auditors’ report and financial statements shall prevail.

CHUNGHWA TELECOM CO., LTD.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 AND 2006

(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise)

 

1. GENERAL

Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. (“Chunghwa” or “the Company”) was incorporated on July 1, 1996 in the Republic of China (“ROC”) pursuant to the Telecommunications Act No. 30. The Company is a company limited by shares and, prior to August 2000, was wholly owned by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (“MOTC”). Prior to July 1, 1996, the current operations of Chunghwa were carried out under the Directorate General of Telecommunications (“DGT”). The DGT was established by the MOTC in June 1943 to take primary responsibility in the development of telecommunications infrastructure and to formulate policies related to telecommunications. On July 1, 1996, the telecom operations of the DGT were spun-off to Chunghwa. The DGT continues to be the telecom industry regulator in the ROC.

As a telecommunications service provider of fixed-line and cellular telephone services, within the meaning of applicable telecommunications regulations of the ROC, the Company is subject to additional requirements imposed by the MOTC.

Effective August 12, 2005, the MOTC had completed the process of privatizing the Company by reducing the government ownership to below 50% in various stages. In July 2000, the Company received approval from the Securities and Futures Commission (the “SFC”) for a domestic initial public offering and its common shares were listed and traded on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (the “TSE”) on October 27, 2000. Certain of the Company’s common shares had been sold, in connection with the foregoing privatization plan, in domestic public offerings at various dates from August 2000 to July 2003. Certain of the Company’s common shares had also been sold in an international offering of securities in the form of American Depository Shares (“ADS”) in July 17, 2003 and were listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). The MOTC sold 289,431 thousand common shares of the Company by auction in the ROC on August 9, 2005 and 1,350,682 thousand common shares of the Company on August 10, 2005 in an international offering. Upon completion of the share transfers associated with these offerings on August 12, 2005, the MOTC owned less than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company and completed the privatization plan.

The financial statements were prepared in conformity with the Securities and Exchange Act, the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, requirements of the Business Accounting Law, Guidelines Governing Business Accounting relevant to financial accounting standards, and accounting principles generally accepted in the ROC (“ROC GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the recorded amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the Company. The Company continually evaluates these estimates, including those related to allowances for doubtful accounts, valuation allowances on inventories, useful lives of long term assets, pension plans and income tax. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions, which it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant accounting policies are summarized as follows:

 

- 9 -


Current Assets and Liabilities

Current assets are commonly identified as those which are reasonably expected to be realized in cash, sold or consumed within one year. Current liabilities are obligations which mature within one year. Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are noncurrent assets and liabilities, respectively.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are commercial paper and bond with resale agreements purchased with maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Financial Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss

Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets or liabilities held for trading and those designated on initial recognition to be measured at fair value with fair value changes recognized in profit or loss. On initial recognition, the financial instruments are recognized at fair value plus transaction costs and are subsequently measured at fair value with fair value changes recognized in profit or loss. Once the Company becomes contractual in a financial instrument arrangement, the financial instruments are eligible for classification as assets or liabilities. If the contractual arrangement is outside the control of the Company, the financial instruments will be derecognized in assets. If the contractual arrangement gives the Company a right of redemption, cancellation or elimination upon expiration, the financial instruments will be derecognized in liabilities.

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value, with transaction costs expensed as incurred. The derivatives are remeasured at fair value subsequently with the changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Cash dividends received (including the year of investment) is recognized in earnings. When the financial instruments are derecognized, the difference between sales proceeds or cash payment and principal amount shall be accounted for as profits and losses. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is accounted for using trade date accounting.

Derivatives that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting are classified as financial assets or financial liabilities. When the fair value is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset. When the fair value is negative, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.

Available-for-sale Financial Assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. When subsequently measured at fair value, the changes in fair value are excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The accumulated gains or losses are recognized in earnings when the financial asset is derecognized from the balance sheet. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is accounted for using trade date accounting.

The policy for recognition and derecognition of available-for-sale financial assets are similar to financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

The basis for determining the fair value of financial instruments is as follows: Listed stocks, closing prices as of balance sheet date; open-end mutual funds, net assets value as of balance sheet date; bonds, quotes in the OTC market as of balance sheet date; financial instruments without active market, fair value are estimated using valuation techniques incorporating estimates and assumptions that are consistent with prevailing market conditions.

Cash dividends are recognized as investment income upon the grant day but are accounted for as reductions to the original cost of investment if such dividends are declared on the earnings of the investees attributable to periods prior to the purchase of the investments. Stock dividends are recorded as an increase in the number of shares held and do not affect investment income. The cost per share is recalculated based on the new number of shares.

If there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired, a loss is recognized. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases, for equity securities, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed to the extent of the decrease and recorded as an adjustment to shareholders’ equity. For debt securities, the amount of the decrease is recognized in earnings, provided that the decrease is clearly attributable to an event which occurred after the impairment loss was recognized.

Held-to-maturity Financial Assets

Held-to-maturity financial assets are carried at amortized cost under the effective interest method. Those financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. Gains or losses are recognized at the time of derecognition, impairment or amortization. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is accounted for using trade date accounting.

If there is objective evidence which indicates that a financial asset is impaired, a loss is recognized. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease is clearly attributable to an event which occurred after the impairment loss was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed to the extent of the decrease. The reversal may not result in a carrying amount that exceeds the amortized cost that would have been determined as if no impairment loss had been recognized.

Revenue Recognition, Account Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Receivables

Revenues are recognized when revenues are realized or realizable and earned. Related costs are expensed as incurred.

Service revenue is based on the fair value of the sales price, after business discount and quantity discount, between the Company and customer. The sales price of service revenue is the amount which matures within one year. The difference between fair value and maturity value is not material and the transactions occur frequently so the interest factor is not included in calculating fair value.

Usage revenues from fixed-line services (including local, domestic long distance and international long distance), cellular services, Internet and data services, and interconnection and call transfer fees from other telecommunications companies and carriers are billed in arrears and are recognized based upon minutes of traffic processed when the services are provided in accordance with contract terms.

Other revenues are recognized as follows: (a) one-time subscriber connection fees (on fixed-line services) are deferred and recognized over the average expected customer service periods, (b) fixed-monthly fees (on fixed-line services, wireless and Internet and data services) are accrued every month, and (c) prepaid services (fixed line, cellular and Internet) are recognized as income based upon actual usage by customers or when the right to use those services expires.

Allowance for doubtful receivables is provided on the basis of the aging of the receivables and estimated collectibility of individual receivables. The Company periodically evaluates the collectibility of receivables in consideration of client’s receivable aging analysis.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (weighted-average cost) or market value (replacement cost or net realizable value).

Investments Accounted for Using Equity Method

Investments in shares of stock in companies where the Company exercises significant influence in their operating and financial policy decisions are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment is initially stated at cost and subsequently adjusted for its proportionate share in the net earnings of the investee companies. Any cash dividends received are recognized as a reduction in the carrying value of the investments. Unrealized profits arising from downstream transactions to equity investees are deferred in the Company’s portion of equity income or loss, depending on whether the investor has controlling power over investees or not. Unrealized profits and losses on sales to investees over which the Company has a controlling power are totally eliminated. Otherwise should be deferred in proportion to the Company’s ownership percentage. Profits and losses arising from equipment purchases from equity investees are eliminated and recognized over the estimated remaining useful life of the equipment.

With respect to investment purchase or adoption of the equity method of accounting, effective on January 1, 2006, in accordance with the revised accounting pronouncement, goodwill is recognized by the difference that the cost of investment is exceeding the fair value of the acquisition. Goodwill can not be amortized, but is subject to a goodwill impairment test. If there is a triggering event or change in circumstance, the goodwill impairment test will be performed. If the fair value of the identifiable net assets exceeds the cost of investment, the difference should be allocated to the noncurrent assets (with exception of non-equity financial assets, assets in the suspense accounts, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and prepaid pension costs or other expenses related to pension plans) and reduced in proportion to the amount of their fair value. If there is still a difference after the purchase price allocation, the difference will be accounted for as extraordinary profits.

When the Company subscribes for additional investees shares at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment in the investee differs from the amount of the Company share of the investee equity. The Company records such a difference as an adjustment to long-term investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus. If the capital surplus account is not enough for debiting purposes, any remaining decrease is debited to unappropriated retained earnings.

Financial Assets Carried at Cost

Investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are carried at original cost, such as non-publicly traded stocks. If there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired, a loss is recognized. No recording of a subsequent recovery in fair value is allowed.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost plus a revaluation increment, if any, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. The interest costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction of a qualifying asset are capitalized as property, plant and equipment. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed currently.

An impairment loss is recognized when the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount. A reversal of the impairment loss is recognized if there is a subsequent recovery in the value of the asset. The recoverable amount cannot exceed the original cost less accumulated depreciation. An impairment loss on a revalued asset is recognized directly against capital surplus from revaluation for the asset to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount in the capital surplus from revaluation for that same asset. A reversal of an impairment loss on a revalued asset is credited directly to shareholder’s equity-other adjustments from revaluation under the heading shareholder’s equity-other adjustments from revaluation. However, to the extent that an impairment loss on the same revalued asset was previously recognized in profit or loss, a reversal of that impairment loss is also recognized in profit or loss.

 

- 12 -


Depreciation expense is determined based upon the asset’s estimated useful life using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives are as follows: land improvements, 10 to 30 years; buildings, 10 to 60 years; machinery and equipment, 6 to 10 years; telecommunication network facilities, 6 to 15 years; and miscellaneous equipment, 3 to 10 years.

Upon sale or disposal of property, plant and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss is credited or charged to income.

Intangible Assets

The amount recorded for the 3G Concession is amortized upon the MOTC approval of using the straight-line method over the lower of the legal useful life or estimated useful life. Computer software costs and patents are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives ranging from 3-20 years.

From January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the newly released Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 37, “Intangible Assets.” Expenditure on research shall be recognized as an expense when it is incurred. Development Costs are capitalized when those costs meet relative criteria and are amortized upon the assets’ estimated useful life using the straight-line method. Development costs not meet relative criteria shall be recognized as expenses when it is incurred.

An impairment loss is recognized when the recoverable amount of an intangible asset other than goodwill is less than its carrying amount. A reversal of the impairment loss is recognized if there is a subsequent recovery in the value of the asset. The recoverable amount cannot exceed the original cost less accumulated amortization.

Idle Assets

Idle assets are carried at the lower of recoverable amount or carrying amount.

Pension Costs

Pension costs subject to defined benefit plan are recognized according to the actuarial report. Pension costs subject to defined contribution plan are recognized according to the amount of contributions by the Company during the employees’ service period.

Expense Recognition

Expenses including commissions paid to agencies and handset subsidy costs paid to vendors that sell handsets to customers who subscribe to services as an inducement to enter into a service contract are charged to income as incurred.

Treasury Stock

Cost of treasury stock is shown as a deduction to stockholders’ equity. Treasury stock is recorded and is shown as a reduction to stockholders’ equity. Upon cancellation of treasury stock, the accounts of common stock and treasury stock are reversed out based on the number of shares registered to be cancelled. The account of additional paid-in capital is adjusted for the difference of the repurchase price and the par value of common stock. If capital surplus is not enough for debiting purposes, the difference is debited to unappropriated retained earnings.

 

- 13 -


Income Tax

The Company accounts for income tax using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax is recognized for investment tax credits and tax consequences of differences between financial statement carrying amounts and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance is recognized if, available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that a portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. A deferred tax asset or liability should be classified as current or noncurrent according to the classification of its related asset or liability. However, if a deferred asset or liability cannot be related to an asset or liability in the financial statements, it should be classified as current or noncurrent depending on the expected reversal date of the temporary difference.

Investment tax credits utilized are recognized as reduction of income tax expense.

Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.

Income taxes (10%) on undistributed earnings is recorded in the year when the stockholders have resolved that the earnings shall be retained.

Foreign-currency Transactions

The functional currency of the Company is the local currency, the New Taiwan dollar. Thus, the transactions of the Company that are denominated in currencies other than the New Taiwan dollars (the “foreign currency”) are recorded in New Taiwan dollars at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Gains or losses realized upon the settlement of a foreign currency transaction are included in the period in which the transaction is settled. The balances, at the balance sheet dates, of the foreign currency assets and liabilities are adjusted to reflect the prevailing exchange rates, and the resulting differences are recorded as follows:

 

  a. Financial assets and liabilities - credited or charged to current income; and

 

  b. Long-term stock investments accounted for by the equity method - as cumulative translation adjustment under stockholders’ equity.

Derivative Financial Assets for Hedging

The derivative financial assets for hedging is measured at fair value with fair value changes recognized in profit or loss.

Hedge Accounting

Gains and losses on a qualifying fair value hedge shall be accounted for as follows:

 

  a. The gain or loss on the hedging instrument shall be currently recognized in earnings.

 

  b. The gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk shall adjust the carrying amount of the hedged item and be currently recognized in earnings.

 

3. REASON AND EFFECT OF THE CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the newly released Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 34 “Accounting for Financial Instruments” (“SFAS No. 34”) and No. 36 “Disclosure and Presentation for Financial Instruments” (SFAS No. 36) and related revisions of previously released SFASs.

 

- 14 -


The Company had categorized its financial assets and liabilities upon initial adoption of the newly released SFASs. The adjustments made to the carrying amounts of the financial instruments categorized as available-for-sale financial assets were recognized as adjustments to stockholders’ equity.

The remaining earnings can then be distributed as dividends if approved by the stockholders in the following year and will be recorded in the financial statements of that year.

Under the ROC Company Law, the appropriation for legal reserve shall be made until the accumulated reserve equals the aggregate par value of the outstanding capital stock of the Company. This reserve can only be used to offset a deficit, or when reaching 50% of the aggregate par value of the outstanding capital stock of the Company, up to 50% of the reserve may, at the option of the Company, be declared as a stock dividend and transferred to capital.

  f. A commitment to contribute $2,500,000 thousand to a Fixed Line Fund administered by the Ministry of Interior Affairs and Taiwan Power Company, of which $1,000,000 thousand has been contributed by the Company on June 30, 1995 (classified as long-term investments-other monetary assets). According to the communication letter (#0960004447) dated August 6, 2007, the Executive Yuan ratified that the Ministry of Interior Affair (the “Ministry”) can dissolve the Fixed-Line Fund effective on or after January 1, 2008. In connection with the dissolution, the Ministry will dispose the assets and liabilities related to the Fixed Line Fund during the final accounting of the fiscal year 2007.

 

  g. A commitment to contribute $2,000,000 thousand to a Piping Fund administered by the Taipei City Government, of which $1,000,000 thousand was contributed by the Company on August 15, 1996. When the fund is not sufficient, the Company will contribute the remaining $1,000,000 thousand after getting the notification from the Taipei City Government.

 

  h. A portion of the land used by the Company during the period July 1, 1996 to December 31, 2004 was co-owned by the Company and Taiwan Post Co., Ltd. (the former Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd. Directorate General of Postal Service). In accordance with the claims process in Taiwan, on July 12, 2005, the Taiwan Taipei District Court sent a claim notice to the Company to reimburse Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd. in the amount of $767,852 thousand for land usage compensation due to the portion of land usage area in excess of the Company’s ownership and along with interest calculated at 5% interest rate from June 30, 2005 to the payment date. However, the Company believes that the computation used to derive the land usage compensation amount is inaccurate because most of the compensation amount has expired as result of the expiration clause. Therefore, the Company has filed an appeal at the Taiwan Taipei District Court. As of August 16, 2007, the case is still in the procedure of the first instance at the Taiwan Taipei District Court.

  b. Methods and assumptions used in the determination of fair values of financial instruments:

 

  1) The fair values of certain financial instruments recognized in the balance sheet generally correspond to the market prices of the financial assets. Because of the short maturities of these instruments, the carrying value represents a reasonable basis to estimate fair values. This method does not apply to the financial instruments discussed in Notes 2 and 3 below.

 

  2) If the financial assets at fair value through profit and loss have quoted market prices in an active market, the quoted market prices are viewed as fair values. If the market price of the financial assets are not immediately available, they must be calculated using standard valuation models on the basis of current market parameters.

 

  3) Long-term investments are based on the net asset values of the investments in investees, if quoted market prices are not available.

 

  c. Fair value of financial instruments were as follow:

 

     Amount Based on Quoted
Market Price

     7,872      —        11,820      —  

 

  d. Information about financial risks

 

  1) Market risk

The foreign exchange rate fluctuations would result in the Company’s foreign-currency-dominated assets and liabilities and open forward exchange contracts exposed to fair value risk and cash flow risk.

The fluctuations of market price would result in the index future contracts exposed to fair value risk and cash flow risk.

The financial instruments categorized as available-for-sale financial assets are mainly listed stocks and open-end mutual funds. Therefore, the market risk is the fluctuations of market price. In order to manage this risk, the Company would assess the risk before investing, therefore, no material market risk are anticipated.

 

  2) Credit risk

Credit risk represents the potential loss that would be incurred by the Company if the counter-parties or third-parties breached contracts. Financial instruments with positive fair values at the balance sheet date are evaluated for credit risk. The counter-parties or third-parties to the foregoing financial instruments are reputable financial institutions and business organizations. Management believes that the Company’s exposure to default by those parties is low.

 

- 31 -


  3) Liquidation risk

The Company has sufficient operating capital to meet cash needs upon settlement of derivative financial instruments. Therefore, the cash flow risk is low.

The financial instruments categorized as available-for-sale financial assets are publicly-traded, easily converted to cash. Therefore, no material liquidation risk are anticipated. The financial instruments categorized as financial assets carried at cost are investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market. Therefore, material liquidation risk are anticipated.

 

  4) Cash flow interest rate risk

The Company mainly engages in investments in fixed-interest-rate debt securities. Therefore, cash flows are not expected to fluctuate significantly due to changes in market interest rates.

 

  e. Fair value hedge

The Company entered into forward exchange contracts is mainly to hedge the fluctuation of beneficiary certificate valuating by foreign currency in exchange rates, which is fair value hedge. The transaction was assessed effectiveness during the first half year the hedge of 2007, we regard it as highly effective.

- 32 -


  2) Market risk

SENAO uses forward contracts to hedge the fluctuations of adverse exchange rate on foreign currency assets and liabilities. The gain and loss from the fluctuation of exchange rate under forward contracts was offset by that of the hedged assets or liabilities. Therefore, the market risk was not significant.

 

  3) Credit risk

Financial assets represents the potential loss that would be incurred by SENAO if the counter-parties or third-parties breached contracts. Financial instruments with positive fair values at the balance sheet date are evaluated for credit risk. The maximum credit risk amount of all kinds of financial instruments is equal to its book value.

 

  4) Liquidation risk

SENAO uses forward contracts to hedge the fluctuations of adverse exchange rate on foreign currency assets and liabilities. There will be corresponding cash inflows or outflows upon maturity dates, and SENAO has sufficient cash flow and operating capital to meet the cash demand, thus; there shall be no risk on raising capital. In addition, the exchange rates in the forward contracts are fixed; therefore, there is no significant risk of cash flow.
