To <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Electronics</strong>, Inc.<br />

We have examined the balance sheet of <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Electronics</strong>, Inc. as of December 31, <strong>1999</strong> and 1998, and the related<br />

statements of income, of changes in stockholders' equity and of cash flows for the years then ended. These financial<br />

statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these<br />

financial statements based on our audits. As explained in Note 4(4), the financial statements of certain investee<br />

companies for the years ended December 31, <strong>1999</strong> and 1998, accounted for under the equity method, were examined by<br />

other auditors whose reports thereon have been furnished to us. The total amount of long-term investments in these<br />

investee companies at December 31, <strong>1999</strong> and 1998 was $12,372,337,000 and $7,441,594,000, respectively, and the<br />

related investment income for the years then ended were $3,040,313,000 and $2,375,107,000, respectively. Our opinion<br />

expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the financial statements relative to these long-term<br />

investments is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. Information of certain investee companies disclosed in<br />

Note 12 were based on the reports of the other auditors.<br />

We conducted our audits in accordance with the "Rules Governing Examinations of Financial Statements by Certified<br />

Public Accountants" and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China. Those standards require that<br />

we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material<br />

misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the<br />

financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and<br />

evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the other auditors audit report<br />

provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.<br />

In our opinion, based on our examinations and the reports of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above<br />

present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Electronics</strong>, Inc. as of December 31, <strong>1999</strong> and<br />

1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with the "Rules<br />

Governing Preparation of the Financial Statements of Securities Issuers" and generally accepted accounting principles<br />

in the Republic of China.<br />

As indicated in Note 2, the accompanying financial statements are not intended to present the financial position and<br />

results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in<br />

countries and jurisdictions other than the Republic of China. The standards, procedures and practices utilized in the<br />

Republic of China to audit such financial statements may differ from those generally accepted in countries and<br />

jurisdictions other than the Republic of China.<br />

We have also audited the consolidated financial statements of <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Electronics</strong>, Inc. and its subsidiaries for the years<br />

ended December 31, <strong>1999</strong> and 1998. Our report on those consolidated financial statements was unqualified.<br />
