Financial Statements for the
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and
Independent Accountants Review Report
INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS REVIEW REPORT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd.
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheets of Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. as of September 30, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the nine months then ended, all expressed in New Taiwan dollars. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these financial statements based on our review.
Except for the matters described in the next paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with Statement of Auditing Standards No. 36, Review of Financial Statements, issued by the Auditing Committee of the Accounting Research and Development Foundation of the Republic of China. A review consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
As stated in Note 12 to the financial statements, we did not review all financial statements of equity-accounted investments, the investments in which are reflected in the accompanying financial statements using the equity method of accounting. The aggregate carrying values of the equity-accounted investments were NT$2,237,667 thousand and NT$1,793,109 thousand as of September 30, 2007 and 2006 and the equity in their net gains were NT$162,021 thousand and NT$591 thousand for the nine months then ended.
Based on our reviews, except for such adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had the investment information mentioned in the preceding paragraph and related information been based on the investees reviewed financial statements, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be 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 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.
October 18, 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 review such financial statements are those generally accepted and applied in the Republic of China.
For the convenience of readers, the accountants review 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 accountants review report and financial statements shall prevail.

(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise)
(Reviewed, Not Audited)
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 Companys 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 Companys common shares had also been sold in an international offering of securities in the form of American Depository Shares (ADS) on 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 numbers of employees as of September 30, 2007 and 2006 are 24,079 and 25,835, respectively.

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
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:
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, bond with resale agreements and treasury bills 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 classified as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) include financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading and those designated as at FVTPL on initial recognition. The Company recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability on its balance sheet when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. A financial asset is derecognized when the Company has lost control of its contractual rights over the financial asset. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.
Financial instruments at FVTPL are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized immediately in profit or loss. At each balance sheet date subsequent to issue of initial recognition, financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are remeasured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized directly in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Cash dividends received subsequently (including those received in the period of investment) are recognized as income for the period. On derecognition of a financial asset or a financial liability, the difference between its carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable or consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
A derivative that does not meet the criteria for hedge accounting is classified as a financial asset or a financial liability held for trading. If the fair value of the derivative is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; otherwise, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.
- 10 -
Available-for-sale Financial Assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are remeasured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in equity until the financial assets are disposed of, at which time, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in equity is included in profit or loss for the period. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
The recognition and derecognition of available-for-sale financial assets are similar to those of financial assets at FVTPL.
Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities at the balance sheet date are determined as follows: Publicly traded stocks - at closing prices; open-end mutual funds - at net asset values; bonds - at prices quoted by the Taiwan GreTai Securities Market; and financial assets and financial liabilities without quoted prices in an active market - at values determined using valuation techniques.
Cash dividends are recognized on the ex-dividend date, except for dividends distributed from the pre-acquisition profit which are treated as a reduction of investment cost. Stock dividends are not recognized as investment income but are recorded as an increase in the number of shares. The total number of shares subsequent to the increase is used for recalculation of cost per share.
An impairment loss is recognized when there is objective evidence that the financial asset is impaired. Any subsequent decrease in impairment loss for an equity instrument classified as available-for-sale is recognized directly in equity. If the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available-for-sale subsequently increases as a result of an event which occurred after the impairment loss was recognized, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed to profit.
Held-to-maturity Financial Assets
Held-to-maturity financial assets are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method Held-to-maturity financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. Profit or loss is recognized when the financial assets are derecognized, impaired, or amortized. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are accounted for using a trade date basis.
An impairment loss is recognized when there is objective evidence that the investment is impaired. The impairment loss is reversed if an increase in the investments recoverable amount is due to an event which occurred after the impairment loss was recognized; however, the adjusted carrying amount of the investment may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the investment in prior years.
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 the 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.
- 11 -
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 clients 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 in equity instruments with no quoted prices in an active market and with fair values that cannot be reliably measured, such as non-publicly traded stocks, are measured at their original cost. An impairment loss is recognized when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired. A reversal of this impairment loss is disallowed.
- 12 -
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 shareholders equity-other adjustments from revaluation under the heading shareholders 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 assets 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 amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 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.
- 13 -
Expense Recognition
Expenses including commissions paid to agencies and handset subsidy costs paid to vendors that sell handsets to a customers who subscribe to the 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.
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 years 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 is 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. |
Hedging Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivatives that qualify as effective hedging instruments are measured at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss depending on the nature of the hedging relationship.
- 14 -
Hedge Accounting
Hedge accounting recognizes the offsetting effects on profit or loss of changes in the fair values of the hedging instrument and the hedged item as follows:
a. | The gain or loss from remeasuring the hedging instrument at fair value and the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in profit or loss. |
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 OF 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.
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.

For the purpose of privatizing the company, the MOTC sold 1,109,750 thousand common shares of the Company in an international offering of securities in the form of American Depositary Shares (ADS) amounting to 110,975 thousand units (one ADS represents ten common shares) on the New York Stock Exchange on July 17, 2003. Afterwards, the MOTC sold 1,350,682 thousand common shares in the form of ADS amounting to 135,068 thousand units on August 10, 2005. Subsequently, the MOTC and Taiwan Mobile Co., Ltd. sold 505,389 thousand and 58,959 thousand common shares of the company, respectively, in the form of ADS totally amounting to 56,435 thousand units on September 29, 2006.

- 23 -
The ADS holders generally have the same rights and obligations as other common shareholders, subject to the provision of relevant laws. The exercise of such rights and obligations shall comply with the related regulations and deposit agreement, which stipulate, among other things, that ADS holders can, through deposit agents:
a. | Exercise their voting rights; |
b. | Sell their ADSs; and |
c. | Receive dividends declared and subscribe to the issuance of new shares. |
The MOTC, as the holder of those preferred shares is entitled to the same rights as holders of common shares and certain additional rights as specified in the Companys Articles of Incorporation as follows:
a. | The holder of the preferred shares, or its nominated representative, will act as a director and/or supervisor during the entire period in which the preferred shares are outstanding. |
b. | The holder of preferred shares has the same pre-emptive rights as holders of common shares when the Company raises capital by issuing new shares. |

d. | The holder of the preferred shares may not transfer the ownership. The Company must redeem all outstanding preferred shares within three years from the date of their issuance. |
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.

Telecommunications service is a Taiwans capital-intensive industry and the Company requires capital expenditures to sustain its competitive position in high-growth market. Thus, the Companys 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.

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. |

d. | Information about financial risks |
1) | Market risk |
The foreign exchange rate fluctuations would result in the Companys foreign-currency-dominated assets and liabilities, open forward exchange contracts and currency option 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.
- 33 -

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.
