a 7.1% decrease in revenue, a 15.7% decrease in net income, and a 15.6% decrease in diluted EPS. All figures were prepared in accordance with R.O.C. GAAP on a consolidated basis. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

in the first quarter, and our revenue will also decline only slightly in the first quarter from the previous quarter. Based on our current business outlook and exchange rate assumption of 1 US dollar to 28.90 NT dollars, management expects overall
