         ADVANCED SEMICONDUCTOR ENGINEERING, INC. REPORTS CONSOLIDATED
           YEAR 2002 FOURTH-QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR FINANCIAL RESULTS

Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C., February 18th, 2003 - Advanced Semiconductor
Engineering, Inc. (TAIEX: 2311, NYSE: ASX), ("ASE", or the "Company"), one of
the world's largest independent providers of semiconductor packaging and
testing services, today reported fourth-quarter revenues1 of NT$12,854 million,
up 8% sequentially and up 25% from the year ago period. Full-year revenues were
NT$45,587 million, up 19% from 2001.

In the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company's consolidated subsidiary, ASE Test
Limited, took a NT$1,226 million non-cash impairment charge against some of its
test equipment to reflect the decline in economic values. As a result, the
Company's net loss amounted to NT$29 million in the fourth quarter ended
December 31, 2002. Diluted loss per share for the quarter was NT$0.01, or
US$0.001 per ADS2. Excluding the impairment charge, the Company's net income
for the fourth quarter was NT$590 million, and earnings per share were NT$0.19,
or US$0.03 per ADS.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2002, the Company's net income totaled
NT$129 million, representing earnings per share of NT$0.04 or earnings per ADS
of US$0.006. Excluding the one-time impairment charge, net income for the full
year 2002 amounted to NT$748 million, or NT$0.24 per share, or US$0.035 per
ADS.

"We are pleased with our performance in 2002," commented Mr. Jason Chang,
Chairman of ASE. "Even though the overall semiconductor industry remained
lackluster throughout the year, we have delivered our commitment to
shareholders in achieving sequential revenue growth and margin improvement
every quarter. As a result of our continuing investment in research and
development, as well as the leading-edge assembly and test capacity, we were
able to capture the "sweet spot" in the subcontract IC backend business. The
worldwide IC backend manufacturing capacity may not have reached an equilibrium
stage, but we witnessed growing demand for high-end fine pitch wirebonding and
flip-chip assembly capacity. While many industry players have been constrained
financially, ASE has been able to align its capital spending to meet its
customers' present and future requirements, thus further expanding market
share, especially with leading IDMs."

Mr. Chang concluded his comment by saying: "Aside from expanding our market
share through superior service offerings, we are also committed to improving
our profitability. The IC assembly and test business has gone through a
revolutionary change. The key differentiating factors among all the
subcontractors are no longer price, but rather the completeness of the services
and the availability and capability of providing cutting-edge capacity. ASE is
striving to set a new industry standard in terms of cycle time, service quality
and technical capabilities. These elements are becoming ASE's core competence
that will further differentiate ourselves from our competitors."

2002 Full-Year Results

o    The Company's full-year revenues were NT$45,587 million, an increase of
     19% versus the previous year. Assembly revenues were NT$35,515 million, up
     23% compared to the previous year. Testing revenues amounted to NT$10,061
     million, an increase of 6% over 2001. The testing business recovered in a
     slower pace compared to the assembly business as a result of higher level
     of overcapacity in the testing industry.
o    Gross profit increased 31% year-on-year to NT$7,095 million. Gross margin
     improved to 16% from 14% in 2001. Total depreciation expenses increased
     from NT$10,375 million in the previous year to NT$11,398 million, as a
     result of increased capital investment in advanced assembly and testing
     equipment. As a percentage of total revenues, depreciation expenses
     decreased from 27% in 2001 to 25% in 2002, reflecting higher level of the
     Company's equipment utilization in 2002.
o    Research and development expenses increased 36% to NT$2,049 million, or 1%
     in terms of total revenues. Selling, general and administrative expenses,
     excluding the one-time impairment charge, increased 3% to NT$4,505
     million. As a percentage of total revenues, however, SG&A expenses were
     down from 11% to 10%, as a result of our continuous effort in controlling
     expenses.
o    Net interest expense reduced to NT$1,579 million from NT$1,739 million in
     2001, reflecting the lower interest rate in 2002, as well as the
     retirement of the US$200 million Euro-convertible bond in the third
     quarter of 2002.
o    The Company's full-year net income was NT$129 million, or NT$748 million
     excluding the one-time asset impairment charge. Earnings per share were
     NT$0.04, or US$0.006 per ADS. Excluding the one-time impairment charge,
     earnings per share were NT$0.24, or US$0.035 per ADS.

o    Revenues generated from the Company's assembly operations were NT$10,058
     million during the quarter, up 9% sequentially and an increase of 25%
     year-over-year. The revenue growth was attributed to both higher volume
     and a 1% ASP increase. For the full-year 2002, assembly revenues increased
     23% to NT$35,515 million compared to previous year.
o    Fine pitch assembly (i.e., bonding pad pitch below 60 micron) comprised
     56% of total assembly revenues, up from 55% in the previous quarter and up
     from 47% year-over-year. On a full year basis, fine pitch assembly

     total assembly revenues during the quarter, up from 53% from the previous
     quarter and remained unchanged compared to one year ago.
o    Gross margin of the assembly operations was 19%, up 2% sequentially and
     remained unchanged year-over-year. On a full-year basis, assembly gross
     margin improved to 18% in 2002 from 16% in 2001.
o    The average utilization rate of the assembly operations was around
     mid-70%. The fine pitch assembly and flip-chip assembly capacity operated
     at near-full utilization.
o    Capital spending on the assembly operations amounted to US$66 million, of
     which US$51 million was for the wirebonding assembly capacity, and US$15
     million was for wafer bumping and flip chip assembly capacity. Total
     capital spending on the assembly operations in 2002 was US$232 million, of
     which US$44 million was for wafer bumping and flip-chip assembly operation
     and the US$188 million was for wirebonding assembly operation.
o    As of December 31, 2002, there were 4,393 wirebonders in operations, and
     70% of which were capable of performing fine pitch wirebonding services. A
     total of 263 wirebonders were added and 44 wirebonders were rendered
     obsolete during the fourth quarter of 2002. During 2002, the Company added
     889 wirebonders and disposed 268 wirebonders, resulted in a net increase
     of 621 wirebonders.

     revenues since they were inter-company sales transaction.

Business Outlook

The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements
are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially. Economic and
industry conditions remain uncertain, and continue to make it particularly
difficult to forecast product demand.

The Company expects in the first quarter of 2003, its
