PART III. NARRATIVE

As previously reported on Form 8-K, filed on January 10, 2005 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on January 5, 2005 certain of Amkor Technology, Inc.’s wholly owned subsidiaries entered into an unconditional guarantee of Amkor’s obligations under its outstanding registered debt securities. As a result of these subsidiary guarantees and in order to comply with Rule 3-10(f) and (i) promulgated under Regulation S-X by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Amkor must include in the footnotes to its audited financial statements additional condensed consolidating financial information relating to the subsidiary guarantors. Amkor represents that due to the timing of the subsidiary guarantees and the complexity of the disclosures required, it is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 by the prescribed filing deadline without unreasonable effort or expense. Amkor will file its Form 10-K no later than fifteen calendar days following the prescribed due date.
