"We are very pleased with our performance in the second quarter, which was a
challenging time in the worldwide semiconductor industry," said John Boruch,
Amkor's president and chief operating officer. "We continued to increase sales
of our advanced products. The resulting favorable shift in our product mix, plus
the impact of our cost reduction programs and favorable margins on customer
shipments from Anam Semiconductor Inc. combined to keep our gross margins within
our target range, despite strong pricing pressures. We believe our performance
during the first half of 1998 positions us well for the industry recovery when
it does occur."
