Item 1.    Business

Reporting Segments

OSE USA, Inc. (the “Company”), formerly Integrated Packaging Assembly Corporation, was incorporated in California on April 28, 1992 and reincorporated in Delaware on June 19, 1997. The Company had two operating segments: (1) manufacturing and (2) distribution.

Within manufacturing, the Company’s business has been to assemble and package integrated circuits from wafers consigned by its customers. The Company’s focus has been on quad flat packages (“QFPs”), thin quad flat packages (“TQFPs”), ball grid array packages (“BGAs”), flip chips, and chip scale packaging (“CSPs”), which are used in complex integrated circuits with high pin-counts in the personal computer and telecommunications industries. The Company also provided advanced design and assembly services to satisfy its customers’ requirements. On September 8, 2003, the Company completed the sale of assets of its manufacturing division to a third party company. The assets included related equipment, inventory, books and records, permits and licenses, and intellectual property, for a total of $1 million, including $500,000 in cash and a $500,000 three year note.

Within distribution, the Company is the exclusive North American sales and marketing organization for Orient Semiconductor Electronics, Ltd. (“OSE” or “OSE Ltd.”) of Taiwan, a public Taiwanese company and the Company’s controlling stockholder. The Company is also the exclusive North American sales and marketing organization for affiliated company Orient Semiconductor Electronics Philippines, Inc. (“OSEP”). Revenues are derived exclusively from fees received on the sales of OSE and OSEP semiconductor assembly and test services to customers headquartered in North America, in accordance with a distribution agreement. The Company entered this segment of the market in October 1999 with the acquisition of OSE, Inc. (“OSEI”) and with the sale of the assets of its manufacturing segment currently operates in one segment. Unless otherwise noted, all references to customers and clients relate to our current business operations and not to the discontinued manufacturing business.

Strategy

The OSE Group consists of OSE, OSEP, OSEI, the Company, and other related entities. The role of the Company, after discontinuing its manufacturing segment, will be the same as the role of OSEI, which is to serve as the North American sales agent for the Group’s factories in Taiwan (OSE) and the Philippines (OSEP). The Company and OSEI will focus on maintaining existing customers and developing new customers in the North American region for OSE and OSEP. The role of OSE in this Group is to produce high volume, high pin count advanced assembly packaging and test services for worldwide customers located in Asia, North America, and Europe. The role of OSEP in this Group is to perform high-volume, low to medium pin count traditional assembly packaging and test service for its worldwide customers.

Discontinued Operations

On April 21, 2003, the Company announced the planned shut down of its US manufacturing business on or before June 30, 2003. The Company had planned to sell the entire manufacturing business to a third party or liquidate the assets through an auction house and use the net proceeds to pay down or reduce the liabilities of the segment. The reason for this decision was that the manufacturing segment of the Company had been incurring significant operating losses since 1997, especially during 2001 and 2002 when the overall technology sector suffered sizable downturn. Despite the effort to reduce employee headcount and operating expenses, the manufacturing segment continued to incur substantial losses each year. The management of the Company decided to dispose of the manufacturing segment.

On September 8, 2003, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Integrated Packaging Assembly Corporation, a newly-formed Delaware corporation (“IPAC”), for the sale to IPAC of the Company’s manufacturing business, including related equipment, inventory, books and records, permits and licenses, and intellectual property.

IPAC is an independently owned corporation organized by Victor Batinovich, who was a co-founder of the Company and its chief executive officer from 1992 to 1997. OSEU was originally organized as Integrated Packaging Assembly Corporation in California and reincorporated in Delaware under the same name prior to changing its name to OSE USA, Inc. in June 2001. Mr. Batinovich, IPAC and their affiliates have no current relationship with OSEU.

Pursuant to the Agreement, IPAC acquired the Company’s manufacturing assets for a total of $1 million, including $500,000 in cash and a three-year secured note in the amount of $500,000. The price of the assets and the manner of payment were determined in arm’s length negotiations between the parties and their representatives.

Approximately 100 employees were laid off as a result, and the Company’s remaining distribution staff consists of 13 persons.

Marketing and Sales

After the disposition of its manufacturing segment, the Company is focusing on maintaining existing customers and developing new customers in the North American Region for OSE and OSEP. Both OSE and OSEP are specialized in volume production. OSE focuses mainly on high pin count and advanced packages. OSEP focuses mainly on low to medium pin count and traditional packages. The goal of the Company is to promote both OSE and OSEP based on customer needs. For traditional packages like PDIP, SOIC, TSSOP and PLCC, the Company will promote OSEP based upon its lower manufacturing cost. For advanced packages like BGA, SIP (System In Package), Flip Chip, and CSP (Chip Scale Package), the Company will promote OSE based upon its greater experience and more advanced manufacturing technology. The Company’s business is substantially affected by market conditions in the semiconductor industry, which is highly cyclical and, at various times, has been subject to significant economic downturns and characterized by reduced product demand, rapid erosion of average selling prices and production over capacity. In addition, rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, intense competition and fluctuations in end user demand characterize the markets for integrated circuits. Because the Company’s business is entirely dependent on the requirements of semiconductor companies for independent packaging foundries, any downturn in the semiconductor industry is expected to have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, delays or rescheduling of orders due to a downturn or anticipated downturn in the semiconductor industry have in the past and could in the future have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. The trend in the industry is that most high volume production will continue moving to the low manufacturing cost areas and the Company, with the capacities and capability provided by OSE and OSEP, can service North American customers who are seeking low cost high volume contract manufacturers in the Asia region.

Table of Contents

As dictated by the distribution agreement, the Company (through OSEI) is the exclusive North American sales agent for OSE and OSEP. Therefore, the Company has been heavily dependent on US based customers within the semiconductor industry. In 2001, the Company’s four major customers accounted for 51% of its revenue, and in 2002 and 2003 three major customers accounted for 44% and 36% of its revenue respectively.

The high concentration of business with a limited number of customers has adversely affected the Company’s operating results when business volume dropped substantially for several customers. There can be no assurance that such customers or any other customers will continue to place orders with the Company in the future at the same levels as in prior periods. The loss of one or more of the Company’s customers, or reduced orders by any of its key customers, would adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. In order to deal with this, the Company intends to diversify its customer base by adding more new customers into its portfolio. By restructuring its sales force, using outside sales representatives, and effective sales management by OSE’s global sales and business development team, the Company believes it will mitigate the impact of customer concentration.

Customers and Target Market

The Company acts as the sales agent and provides distribution services for OSE and OSEP to a wide variety of customers, ranging from large multinational companies to smaller emerging technology companies, including start-ups. The Company’s marketing and sales efforts are focused on North American semiconductor companies that design or manufacture IC devices which are used in applications such as personal computers, modems, disk drives and telecommunication products.

Because of the variety of design and manufacturing services offered by OSE and OSEP, the Company believes that it is well positioned to offer services to customers in most market segments. For some customers, the Company serves both a design and production function, thereby permitting customers to concentrate on concept development, distribution and marketing, while accelerating their time to market, reducing their investment in engineering and manufacturing capacity and optimizing total product cost.

Many of the Company’s large customers contract independently through multiple divisions, subsidiaries, production facilities or locations. The Company believes that in most cases its sales to one such subsidiary, division, facility or location are not dependent on sales to others.

Competition

The semiconductor packaging industry is highly competitive, and the market is essentially global. The Company, together with its affiliates OSE and OSEP (the “Group”), currently faces substantial competition from established packaging foundries located in Asia, such as Advanced Semiconductor Assembly Technology in Hong Kong, Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. and Siliconware in Taiwan, Amkor Technology in Korea, and other subcontractors in Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia and Indonesia. Each of these companies has significantly greater manufacturing capacity, financial resources, research and development operations, marketing and other capabilities than the Company and has been operating for a significantly longer period of time than the Group. Such companies have also established relationships with many large semiconductor companies, which are current or potential customers of the Company. The Group could face substantial competition from Asian packaging foundries should one or more of such companies decide to establish foundry operations in North America. The Group also competes with companies with in-house packaging capabilities as current and prospective customers constantly evaluate the Company’s capabilities against the merits of in-house packaging. Many of the Group’s customers are also customers of one or more of the Group’s principal competitors. The principal elements of competition in the semiconductor packaging market include delivery cycle times, price, product performance, quality, production yield, responsiveness and flexibility, reliability and the ability to design and incorporate product improvements. The Group believes it principally competes on the basis of shorter delivery cycle times it can offer customers due to the close proximity of its manufacturing facility to its customers’ operations and the end users of its customers’ products.

Table of Contents

For the past several years, the Group has experienced a decline in the average selling prices for a number of its products. During 2001 the manufacturing segment of the Company shifted its focus to lower volume, faster turnaround production, which generates higher average selling prices. During 2003, the Company discontinued its manufacturing segment in the US and concentrated its efforts on promoting its offshore affiliates in Taiwan and Philippines. The Company expects that average selling prices for its products by OSE and OSEP will stabilize or increase in the future if, as many industry analysts predict, the semiconductor industry has an upswing in 2004.

Employees and Executive Officers

As of December 31, 2003, the Company had 17 full time employees, 13 in sales and customer service, and 4 in finance and administration. The Company’s employees are not represented by any collective bargaining agreement, and the Company has never experienced a work stoppage. The Company believes that its employee relations are good. The success of the Company’s future operations depends in large part on the Company’s ability to attract and retain highly skilled personnel.

The executive officers of the Company are as follows:

Edmond Tseng has been President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company since November 2000 and President and Chief Executive Officer of OSEI since 1990. Mr. Tseng has been a Director and Chairman of the Board of Directors since April 1999. From June 1985 to December 1989, Mr. Tseng served as Director of Packaging Technology at Condata, Incorporated.

Elton Li joined the Company in December 2001 as Corporate Controller, and Chief Accounting Officer. From April 1995 to November 2001, Mr. Li served as Controller of A-Plus Manufacturing Corporation, an electronic manufacturing service (EMS) company. Prior to that period, Mr. Li held various accounting positions in leading firms in the public accounting and hospitality industries.

The Company’s success depends to a significant extent upon the continued service of its key personnel, each of whom would be difficult to replace. The competition for qualified employees is intense, and the loss of the services of key personnel or the inability to attract, retain and motivate qualified new personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Officers serve at the discretion of the Board and are appointed annually. There are no family relationships among the directors or officers of the Company.

Investor Information

The Company’s common stock is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The Company files periodic reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Such reports, proxy statements and other information may be obtained by visiting the Public Reference Room of the SEC at 450 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20549 or by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. In addition, the SEC maintains an Internet site (http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically.

Part II

Item 5.    Market for Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

As of February 27, 2004, there were approximately 318 beneficial owners of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company’s Common Stock is listed for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board under the Symbol “OSEE”. The following table sets forth for the periods indicated, the high and low prices of the Company’s Common Stock.

The trading price of the Company’s Common Stock is normally subject to fluctuations in response to variations in operating results, announcements of technological innovations or new products, general conditions in the semiconductor industry and in the public stock markets, and other events or factors. The trading price has declined steadily since the Company encountered financial difficulties in 1997 and has remained at penny-fraction levels for more than a year. In these circumstances, it is not possible to predict with any certainty whether, when, or by how much the trading price of the Common Stock may decline further or increase in value.

The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock and currently intends to retain any future earnings for use in its business. On August 9, 2002, the Company executed an agreement pursuant to which it rescinded its previous distribution of common shares from July 1999 through January 2002 paid to its majority shareholder, OSE, in settlement of a preferred dividend obligation of $1.6 million. Dividends on the Series A and B preferred stock are cumulative until paid. Under the terms of the agreement, OSE returned to the Company certificates representing 26,344,391 shares of Company common stock. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Certificate of Designation for the Company’s Series A and Series B Preferred Stock, the Company agreed to accrue interest on the unpaid preferred dividends. As of December 31, 2003, the Company recorded accrued interest in the amount of $476,000 on unpaid preferred dividends. The decision to rescind the previous payment of dividends during 2002 was made after the Company was advised by its counsel (and also by special counsel engaged for this purpose) that the Company’s surplus and earnings may have been insufficient to support the payment of the dividends under the law of Delaware, the Company’s state of incorporation.

Item 7.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The forward-looking statements contained herein are subject to certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, those discussed as follows and elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

As a result of a reduction in orders from the Company’s customers, the Company has had significant excess production capacity after the first quarter of 1997. The reduction in revenues and underutilization of capacity and the resulting inability to absorb fixed costs resulted in operating losses that continued through 2003. The Company’s independent accountants’ opinion on the Company’s December 31, 2002 and 2003 financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph indicating that these matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

In April 1999, Orient Semiconductor Electronics, Limited (“OSE”) for $6.8 million purchased 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, convertible into approximately 55,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. As part of this transaction, the Company’s secured creditors agreed to terminate their legal actions and restructured the Company’s secured debt. On August 4, 1999, OSE converted 1,000,000 preferred shares into 13,748,771 shares of common stock. On December 26, 2000, OSE for $6.0 million purchased 3,023,225 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, convertible into approximately 42,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

OSEI was a privately held corporation that served as the exclusive North American distributor of OSE, a public Taiwanese company and the Company’s principal stockholder. On October 29, 1999, the Company acquired OSEI in a stock for stock exchange valued at approximately $4.7 million. In connection with the acquisition, the Company issued 25,910,090 shares of Common Stock to the OSEI shareholders. OSEI is operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, which has reported consolidated results with OSEI since the acquisition date. OSEI derives its revenues exclusively from fees received on the sales of OSE’s semiconductor assembly and test services to customers headquartered in North America.

On April 21, 2003, the Company announced the planned shut down of its US manufacturing business on or before June 30, 2003. The Company had planned to sell the entire manufacturing business to a third party or liquidate the assets through an auction house and use the net proceeds to pay down or reduce the liabilities of the segment. The reason for this decision was that the manufacturing segment of the Company has been posting significant operating losses since 1997, especially during 2001 and 2002 when the overall technology sector suffered a sizable downturn. Despite the effort of cutting back in employee headcount and operating expenses, the manufacturing segment continued to incur substantial operating losses each year. The management of the Company decided to disposition the manufacturing segment.

On September 8, 2003, the Company sold its manufacturing business, including related equipment, inventory, books and records, permits and licenses, and intellectual property to Integrated Packaging Assembly Corporation, a newly-formed Delaware corporation (“IPAC”).

Discontinued Operations

The Company’s manufacturing segment, after the sale of its equipment, inventory, books and records, permits and licenses, and intellectual property, has been treated as discontinued operations and has been presented in the Company’s financial statements as such. Losses from discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002, and 2003 are $8.5 million, $7.6 million, and $5.5 million respectively.

Detailed financial results from discontinued operations are presented in note 2.

Table of Contents

Results of Operations For The Years Ended December 31, 2001, 2002, and 2003

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain items in the Company’s statement of operations as a percentage of revenues:

Revenues

The Company is left with the distribution segment after the sale of assets of the manufacturing segment on September 8, 2003. The distribution segment earns revenue through a distributor agreement with OSE; revenues are derived from fees received on the sales of OSE’s and OSEP’s semiconductor assembly and test services to customers headquartered in North America and are recognized on a net commission basis. Revenue related to manufacturing is included in discontinued operations and presented on a net basis. Total distribution revenues decreased 31.3% to $3.3 million in 2003, from $4.8 million in 2002. Revenue increased 4.3% to $4.8 million in 2002, from $4.6 million in 2001. The decrease in revenues in 2003 was primarily due to the weakness in the overall semiconductor industry. The OSE management has decided to disengage from several major accounts, which were not sufficiently profitable. Also, OSE and OSEP lost some orders from major customers such as ATI to competitors due to lack of upgraded testing capability.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expense consists primarily of costs associated with sales, customer service, finance, administration and management personnel, as well as advertising, public relations, legal and accounting costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.7 million, $3.7 million, and $4.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002, and 2003, respectively. Selling expenses were mainly attributed to OSEI operation. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2002 was mainly due to decrease in payroll expenses as a result of the resignation of its sales executive in late 2001 and a few sales managers in 2002. In addition, the distribution segment ceased amortizing its intangible assets related to goodwill in 2002. In general, the distribution segment maintains a stable sales force. However, during late November 2003, the Company reduced its sales force by 5 employees; the expense reduction impact will not be seen until 2004. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expense increased to 119.4% in 2003 compared to 77.0% in 2002 and 101.6% in 2001. The fluctuation from 2001 to 2002 was mainly due to actual spending decrease. The fluctuation from 2002 to 2003 in percentages was mainly caused by the 31.3% revenue decrease in 2003.

Impairment of Assets

In 2002, the Company completed the two-step transitional impairment test for goodwill and distribution contract required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Results from the test indicated that the book value of the reporting unit to which goodwill was assigned, exceeded its implied fair value. The Company determined the amount of goodwill impairment by allocating the implied fair value of the reporting unit to its assets and liabilities. The results of this allocation indicated that goodwill was fully impaired. The Company recorded the impairment loss of $1,400,000 as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. In 2003, the Company performed similar test on its distribution agreement and concluded no impairment needed to be recorded.

Interest and Other Income

Interest and other income from continuing operations in 2003, 2002 and 2001, was $22,000, $93,000 and $81,000, respectively. Other income mainly consists of assets disposal gain or loss. The decrease in 2003 from 2002 was mainly due to lower interest rates and lower investment balances, which resulted from the loss from operations and capital expenditures. The increase in 2002 from 2001 was mainly due to a $7,000 asset disposal loss in 2001.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists primarily of interest payable on bank debt and inter-company loans. Interest expense for 2003, 2002 and 2001 was $0.53 million, $0.71 million and $1.27 million respectively. The decrease in 2003 and 2002 was due to lower debt balances and lower interest rates.

On October 1, 2003, the Company paid off its line of credit with the banks. As of December 31, 2003, the Company recorded $0.22 million as interest related to these lines of credit.

During 2003, $26.1 million was converted from an inter-company payable to inter-company loans due in one year from their inception dates. As of December 31, 2003, the Company accrued $312,000 of interest payable with respect to these loans.

Provision for Income Taxes

The income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2003, represents the reversal of an over accrual of income taxes resulting from a change in accounting estimate. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is more likely than not. Based upon available data, which includes the Company’s historical operating performance and the reported cumulative net losses in prior years, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against the Company’s net deferred tax assets as the future realization of the tax benefit is not sufficiently assured.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During 2003, the Company’s net cash provided by operations was $8.6 million, comprised primarily of a net loss of $1.1 million, offset by $0.4 million of non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization, a net increase in working capital of $12.1 million, offset by gain on sale of facility of $0.1 million and net cash used by discontinued operation of $2.7 million. The net increase in working capital items reflected a $2.7 million increase in accounts payable and a $9.6 million decrease in accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2003, the Company had a cash balance of $0.6 million.

In 2003, $0.5 million was provided by investing activities as a result of the sale of assets of the discontinued operations for a total of $1 million, including $0.5 million in cash and $0.5 million from a three-year promissory note

In 2003, $10.0 million was used in financing activities, including the pay down of the bank credit lines.

Table of Contents

Cash provided by or used in operating, investing, and financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2001, 2002, and 2003 are summarized in the following table.

The increase of $7.4 million in cash provided by operating activities from 2002 to 2003 was mainly due to a $9.6 million decrease in accounts receivable from 2002 to 2003 compared with a $3.4 million decrease in accounts receivable from 2001 to 2002. Cash used in discontinued operation in operating activities was $2.8 million less in 2003 than it was in 2002 due to a reduction in loss from manufacturing segment in 2003 as the segment was winding down its operations.

The decrease of $3.9 million in cash provided by operating activities from 2001 to 2002 was mainly due to a $3.4 million decrease in accounts receivable from 2001 to 2002 compared with a $6.2 million decrease in accounts receivable from 2000 to 2001. Cash used in discontinued operation in operating activities was $1.3 million more in 2002 than it was in 2001 as a result of lower revenue from manufacturing in 2002.

The increase in cash provided by investing activities in 2003 was mainly due to the $500,000 cash proceeds from the sale of the assets of the discontinued operations.

The increase in cash used in financing activities in 2003 was due to the increase in payments on the bank debt. Payments on bank debt for years 2001, 2002, and 2003 were $6.4 million, $1.6 million, and $10.0 million respectively.

Payments on bank debt increased in 2003 as a result of pay-off of the lines of credit.

As of December 31, 2002, the Company had a line of credit, as amended, with two banks that provided for advances up to the lesser of $15 million (committed revolving credit line) or the advance rate against qualified accounts receivable. Qualified accounts receivable is defined as eighty percent of eligible accounts receivable less than ninety days, excluding inter-company accounts. Over advances under this agreement are immediately payable to the lender. Borrowings under this line of credit accrue interest at the banks’ prime rate (4.25% at December 31, 2002) plus 0.50%, are collateralized by the assets of the Company and are guaranteed by OSE. Amounts outstanding under this line of credit were $9,978,000 at December 31, 2002. On October 1, 2003, the Company paid off the line of credit through collection of accounts receivable and funding from OSE.

Without the line of credit, the Company will require continued financial support from OSE to fulfill operating cash requirements. If OSE does not provide the Company with required cash, the Company will not be able to continue its operations. As shown in the consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $6,669,000 during the year ended December 31, 2003, and, as of that date, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $36,212,000 and its total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $34,111,000. These factors, among others, as discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

In 2003, the Company converted $26.1 million of its payable to OSE to two one-year loans. $17.5 million of principal bears interest at 3.5% and $8.6 million of principal bears interest at 3%. The $17.5 million loan is due

on June 26, 2004 and the $8.6 million is due on December 29, 2004. The Company does not believe that it will have the ability to settle the loans on the due dates either through its operations or through financing from banks or other third parties. If OSE does not renew the loan in 2004, the Company will not be able to continue its operations.

The management of the Company believes that, after the closing of its manufacturing segment, the Company will be less dependent on OSE’s funding support except for the aforementioned loan. Without the manufacturing segment and with its distribution operation, the Company will not require any major capital expenditures. With the revised organization and cost structure, the Company believes that it may have the ability (except for the payable to OSE) to internally support its operating cash requirement in the upcoming fiscal year.

As of December 31, 2003, the Company had the following contractual obligations and commercial commitments:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and the results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements and the data used to prepare them. The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. On an ongoing basis we re-evaluate our judgments and estimates including those related to bad debts, inventories, and long-lived assets. We base our estimates and judgments on our historical experience, knowledge of current conditions and future expectations based upon currently available information. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our estimates are guided by observing the following critical accounting policies.

Revenue recognition

The Company’s current revenues come from distribution, which is recognized, on a net basis, based on OSEI’s distribution agreement with OSE, when the Company is informed by OSE that products have been shipped.

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for losses that the Company estimates will arise from customers’ inability to make required payments. Based on the distributor agreements between OSEI, OSE, and OSEP, OSEI will be responsible for one third of any un-collectible amount that arises from customer sales. The Company makes its estimates of the uncollectability of its accounts receivable by analyzing the accounts receivable aging.

Effective May 1, 2003, the Company and OSE amended the distribution agreement with respect to the recording of accounts receivable derived from products shipped from OSE to customers in North America. The Company no longer records accounts receivable generated from such shipments, and payments related to invoices dated after May 1, 2003 have been remitted to OSE directly. The accounts receivable related to products shipped from OSEP as of December 31, 2003 were $2.2 million. The Company no longer records accounts receivable for OSE. All other terms and conditions of the distribution agreement remain in effect.

Valuation of long-lived assets

Prior to the sale of manufacturing segment in September 2003, the Company’s business required heavy investment in manufacturing facilities that are technologically advanced but can quickly become significantly underutilized or rendered obsolete by rapid changes in demand for semiconductors produced in those facilities. We estimate the useful life of our manufacturing equipment, which is the largest component of our long-lived assets, to be six years. We base our estimate on our experience with acquiring, using and disposing of equipment over time. Depreciation expense is a major element of our manufacturing cost structure. We begin depreciation on new equipment when it is put into use for production. Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of long-lived assets may not be recoverable, the Company estimates the future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest charges, expected to result from the use of those assets and their eventual dispositions. If the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. In 2000, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1.4 million related to its manufacturing equipment. In 2003 before the sale of its assets of its manufacturing segment, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the property and equipment that were held for sale and determined that the fair value was less than the carrying amount by $795,000, and accordingly recognized an impairment charge. Due to the fact that the Company sold the assets of its manufacturing segment, the above two impairments are included in the discontinued operations. After disposing of its manufacturing segment and the related equipment, the Company is operating in the distribution segment only.

In 2002, the Company completed the two-step transitional impairment test for goodwill required by SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Results from the test indicated that the book value of the reporting unit to which goodwill was assigned, exceeded its implied fair value. The Company determined the amount of goodwill impairment by allocating the implied fair value of the reporting unit to its assets and liabilities. The results of this allocation indicated that goodwill was fully impaired. The Company recorded the impairment loss of $1,400,000 as a cumulative change in accounting principle.

Related Party Transactions

As disclosed in Note 10 in the accompanying financial statements, the Company is a member of a group of affiliated companies owned by Orient Semiconductor Electronics, Ltd. of Taiwan (“OSE”) and is a party to a number of significant related party transactions with OSE and its affiliates. Such transactions include:

Risk Factors Affecting Operating Results

The Company’s operating results are affected by a wide variety of factors that could materially and adversely affect revenues, gross profit, operating income and liquidity. These factors include the Company’s ability to secure additional financing, the short term nature of its customers’ commitments, the timing and volume of orders relative to OSE’s and OSEP’s production capacity, long lead times for the manufacturing equipment required by OSE and OSEP, evolutions in the life cycles of customers’ products, timing of expenditures in anticipation of future orders, lack of a meaningful backlog, effectiveness in managing production processes, changes in costs and availability of labor, raw materials and components, costs to obtain materials on an expedited basis, mix of orders filled, the impact of price competition on the Company’s average selling prices and changes in economic conditions. The occurrence or continuation of unfavorable changes in any of the preceding factors would adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risk of lack in funding for operations

If the Company cannot generate the cash for its ongoing operating expenses through operating cash flow and external financing activities, it may be materially adversely affected. The Company paid off its line of credit with the banks in 2003. Additional debt or equity financing may not be available when needed or, if available, may not be available on satisfactory terms. The lack of local debt facility will make the Company primarily dependent on the funding support from OSE. Inability to generate needed cash from operations or debt financing would have a material adverse effect on meeting the Company’s debt obligation and funding continued operations.

Risk related to dependence on OSE and OSEU factory capacity and capability

The Company’s operating revenue derives solely from commissions revenue generated from business solicited by OSEI in North America and passed to OSE and OSEP factories. If the factories cannot produce products satisfactory to the end customers due to lack in manufacturing technology or capacity constraint, the Company will not be able to retain the customers. Both OSE and OSEP are also serving customers located in other regions of the world. If OSE and OSEP have to allocate their factory resources to other customers, the sales volume to North American customers might decline with an adverse impact on the Company’s revenue.

Risk related to high fluctuation in the semiconductor industry

The semiconductor industry is comprised of different market segments based on device type and the end use of the device. Accordingly, within the semiconductor industry, demand for production in a particular segment may be subject to more significant fluctuations than demand in other segments. If any of the Company’s significant customers are in a segment, which has experienced adverse market conditions, there could be an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results. There can be no assurance that reduced demand, or the general economic conditions underlying such demand, will not continue to adversely affect the Company’s results of operations. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such continuation or

14

Table of Contents

expansion of this reduced demand will not result in an additional and significant decline in the demand for products by the Company’s customers and a corresponding material adverse impact on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.

Risk from terrorist activities and other political conditions

The economic slowdown in the United States and worldwide, exacerbated by the occurrence and threat of terrorist attacks and consequences of sustained military action, has adversely affected demand for products of our customers. A continued decline of the worldwide semiconductor market or a significant decline in economic conditions in any significant geographic area would likely decrease the overall demand for the Company’s products, which could have a material adverse effect. If the economic slowdown continues or worsens as a result of terrorist activities, military action or otherwise, the slowdown could adversely impact customers’ ability to pay in a timely manner.

Risk of losing technological and manufacturing expertise

The semiconductor packaging industry is continuously going through technological changes, which require increased technological and manufacturing expertise. If OSE and OSEP were behind in developing the required expertise or the introduction of new packaging technologies, or if there were a reduction in or shift away from the packages under development, such events could result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risk related to political, economic, and military conditions in Taiwan

The Company could be significantly impacted by the political, economic and military conditions in Taiwan, where OSE’s operations are principally located. Taiwan and the People’s Republic of China are continuously engaged in political disputes. Such disputes may continue and even escalate, resulting in economic embargo, a disruption in shipping or even military hostilities. This could severely harm the Company’s business by interrupting or delaying production or shipment of products, which OSEI distributes. Any activity of this nature, or even rumors of such activity, could severely and negatively impact the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

Risk related to geographical location

The Company’s facilities are located in California near major earthquake faults. In addition, some of the Company’s suppliers are located near earthquake sensitive areas. In the event of a major earthquake or other natural disaster near its facilities, the Company’s operations could be harmed. Similarly, a major earthquake or other natural disaster near the Company’s suppliers, like the one that occurred in Taiwan in September 1999, could disrupt the operations of those suppliers, thus limiting the availability of products for the Company to distribute and harming the Company’s business.

Item 7A.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

On October 1, 2003, the Company paid off its line of credit with local banks through collections from accounts receivable and funding from OSE. As of December 31, 2003 and currently, the Company has no bank or other third party financing and will depend upon cash generated from its operations and continued financial support from OSE.

The Company has no trading portfolio, and its only market risk sensitive asset is the three-year $500,000 note received from IPAC in connection with the sale of the Company’s manufacturing assets on September 8, 2003. See the discussion of this transaction in Item 1 under the heading “Discontinued Operation.” The Company’s agreement requires that the Company assign the note to the Company’s landlord and that the note be

Table of Contents

secured by the purchaser; however, this assignment has not yet occurred, and the Company continues to hold the note as an asset, due to an unresolved dispute between the purchaser and the landlord as to the sufficiency of the offered security. At the same time, the purchaser is honoring the note by making required payments of interest directly to the landlord. These interest payments have not been recorded as income to the Company. Under these circumstances, it is the Company’s belief that any market risk sensitivity attached to the note does not and will not affect the Company.

The Company has two principal interest-bearing liabilities: (1) approximately $26.1 million in payables to the Company’s parent OSE which were converted into loans during 2003, and (2) interest on unpaid dividends on the Company’s Series A and B Preferred Stock. These items accrue interest at fixed rates and hence are not sensitive to market risk.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of OSE USA, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of OSE USA, Inc. (formerly Integrated Packaging Assembly Corporation) (a Delaware corporation and a majority owned subsidiary of Orient Semiconductor Electronics Limited, a Taiwanese public company) and subsidiary as of December 31, 2002 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of OSE USA, Inc. (formerly Integrated Packaging Assembly Corporation) and subsidiary as of December 31, 2002 and 2003, and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $6,669,000 during the year ended December 31, 2003, and, as of that date, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $36,212,000 and its total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $34,111,000. These factors, among others, as discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
