III. Explanation regarding the consistency of accounting policies adopted in consolidated financial forecasts and consolidated financial reports:

This consolidated financial forecast is an optimal estimation based on current financial and business plans of the Company's management and the anticipation of the future business.  The accounting policies adopted herein are consistent with consolidated financial reports.

IV. Statements of the Company may not completely achieve the consolidated financial forecast results as the consolidated financial forecasts are merely estimates:

The nature of this information reflects management's best estimation. Since business events and the operating environment may vary from expectations, differences often arise between forecast and actual results that can be quite significant.  Thus, this consolidated financial forecast may not be completely achieved in the future and investors are advised to reference the significant accounting policies and the summary of basic assumptions regarding the forecast details.  Further, with respect to the Company's forecast disposal of equity interest in the subsidiary, ChipMOS Shanghai, although all the necessary permissions and approvals of competent authorities have already been obtained, it nonetheless cannot be assured that this equity interest disposal transaction will be completely closed before the end of 1Q17 due to prevailing uncertainties, including but not limited to Mainland China's foreign investment and currency policies.  If it is confirmed that the contemplated equity interest disposal transaction is unable to close on the projected schedule, the Company shall make an announcement pursuant as required under applicable laws as soon as possible.
