ChipMOS REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2008 RESULTS

Hsinchu, Taiwan, March 24, 2009 – ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES (Bermuda) LTD. (“ChipMOS” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: IMOS) today reported unaudited consolidated financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2008. All U.S. dollar figures in this release are based on the exchange rate of NT$32.76 against US$1.00 as of December 31, 2008.

Net revenue on a US GAAP basis for the fourth quarter of 2008 was NT$3,052.6 million or US$93.2 million, a decrease of 50.0% from NT$6,101.6 million or US$186.3 million for the same period in 2007 and a decrease of 30.0% from NT$4,361.5 million or US$133.1 million in the third quarter of 2008. Under US GAAP, the gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2008 was -28.0%, compared to 24.6% for the same period in 2007 and 0.3% for the third quarter of 2008.

Net loss on a US GAAP basis for the fourth quarter of 2008 was NT$5,838.6 million or US$178.2 million, and NT$69.54 or US$2.12 per basic common share, compared to net loss of NT$873.6 million or US$26.7 million, and NT$10.41 or US$0.32 per basic common share, for the third quarter of 2008. Net loss under US GAAP includes non-cash gains for changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities of NT$8.6 million or US$0.3 million and amortization of discount on convertible notes of NT$27.9 million or US$0.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2008 and non-cash gains for changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities of NT$21.9 million or US$0.7 million and amortization of discount on convertible notes of NT$77.0 million or US$2.4 million for the third quarter of 2008. Excluding the above special items regarding the convertible notes, non-GAAP adjusted net loss for the fourth quarter of 2008 was NT$5,819.3 million or US$177.6 million, and NT$69.31 or US$2.12 per basic common share, compared to non-GAAP adjusted net loss of NT$818.5 million or US$25.0 million, and NT$9.75 or US$0.30 per basic common share in the third quarter of 2008.

Under US GAAP, net revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 was NT$17,010.2 million or US$519.2 million, a decrease of 27.9% from NT$23,597.6 million or US$720.3 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. Under US GAAP, net loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 was NT$7,177.7 million or US$219.1 million, and NT$85.56 or US$2.61 per common share, compared to net income of NT$2,901.7 million or US$88.6 million, and NT$36.13 or US$1.10 per common share, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. Net loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 under US GAAP includes non-cash gains for changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities of NT$191.4 million or US$5.8 million and amortization of discount on convertible notes of NT$277.1 million or US$8.4 million. Excluding the above special items regarding the convertible notes, non-GAAP adjusted net loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 was NT$7,092.0 million or US$216.5 million, and NT$84.54 or US$2.58 per basic common share.

The unaudited consolidated financial results of ChipMOS for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2008 included the financial results of ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES INC., ChipMOS Japan Inc., ChipMOS U.S.A., Inc., ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES (H.K.) Limited, MODERN MIND TECHNOLOGY LIMITED and its wholly-owned subsidiary ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES (Shanghai) LTD., and ThaiLin Semiconductor Corp.

S.J. Cheng, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ChipMOS, said, “Despite continued market weakness, we achieved revenue of US$93.2 million in the fourth quarter. In light of the global financial climate, we faced similar challenges that every player in the semiconductor supply chain faced in the fourth quarter. The difficulties were not simply a temporary irregular market condition nor seasonality issue as we encounter on an annual basis in the past, but an economic downturn that may last for years under the current market outlook consensus.

The challenging global economic environment, credit crisis and slowing of consumer spending, significantly reduced DRAM demand in Q4, worsening the financial situation of DRAM makers across the space. As a result of this harsh financial climate, our DRAM

revenue experienced a 38.5% sequential decline in Q4 resulting from a significant reduction in demand coming from our Taiwan customers. Given the current weakness in the macroeconomic environment, our LCD business dropped significantly with deterioration in consumer demand. Even after quarters of inventory correction in the LCD panel industry, panel makers continued their efforts to aggressively reduce their outputs to counter slowing orders. Rather than implementing continuous capacity services, our LCD driver customers placed rush orders to avoid inventory accumulations. This trend, coupled with weak momentum in the LCD industry, depressed the overall business activity in the supply chain resulting in our LCD driver revenue decline of 50.6% in the fourth quarter on a quarter-over-quarter basis. Additionally, we experienced significant revenue declines in both Flash and mixed-signal segments in Q4 as compared to Q3.”

S.K. Chen, Chief Financial Officer of ChipMOS, said, “The Company started to take action to deal with the business down cycle at a very early stage. We launched our cost saving programs in early 2008, which was a couple of quarters ahead of the global recession. During past two years, we also managed to reduce CapEx and took other measures for improving of our financial condition. These activities helped us maintain our cash position at a level which allowed us to sustain our operations in this unpredictable environment. To face this down cycle, we continue to work to readjust our financial resources and minimize cash outflow. The future business will be maintained based on the payment policy of cash-on-delivery for customers with financial problems. Management is confident that through its solid operation and diligent cost planning will ensure its continuous operation and improve performance even at down times like now. We are well prepared for the next dawn of the semiconductor industry.”

First Quarter 2009 Outlook

Mr. Cheng continued, “Looking into the first quarter of 2009, the overall DRAM backend market continues to experience weak demand. This is primarily the result of substantial cut backs in output from Taiwan DRAM makers for cash outflow considerations. The LCD driver business seems to be in the best shape in the short-term among all our business sectors attributable to Chinese stimulus programs and US LCD TV demand. The flash and Mask ROM business from our Taiwan customers also picked up very well beginning in March. Following the LCD market trend, our mixed-signal business has some growth potential after mid-Q1. Most orders are coming from the urgent demands in the supply chain. In our view, January is confirmed to be the bottom of this down cycle for all of our business sectors. Currently, we expect month over month growth until May. However, the market visibility is still limited after May.

Considering the overall market weakness and the financial difficulty of our major customers, we currently expect that first quarter revenue will be in the range of approximately US$67 million to US$72 million, which is a decrease of 23% to 28% as compared to the fourth quarter 2008. The revenue forecast is based on the exchange rate of NT$32.76 to the USD as of December 31, 2008. The reported Q1 revenue in US dollars may vary from our guidance due to a different exchange rate at the end of the first quarter. Finally, we currently expect gross margin on a consolidated basis for the first quarter of 2009 to be in the range of approximately -55% to - -60% due to low utilization rate.”

RECONCILIATION OF US GAAP NET INCOME (LOSS) TO NON-GAAP NET INCOME (LOSS) (UNAUDITED)

Figures in Million of U.S. dollars (USD) (1)

Except for Per Share Amounts

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement our consolidated income statement (unaudited) for the three months and the year ended Dec. 31, 2008 on a US GAAP basis, the Company uses a non-GAAP measure of net income (loss), which is US GAAP net income (loss) adjusted to exclude two non-cash items referred to as special items. The two non-cash items excluded are changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities and amortization of discount on convertible notes. These items are considered by the management to be outside of the Company’s core operating results. For example, changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities relate heavily to the Company’s stock price, interest rate and volatility, all of which are difficult to predict and outside of the control of the Company and its management.

For these reasons, management uses non-GAAP adjusted measures of net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share to evaluate the performance of our core businesses and to estimate future core performance. In addition, this information facilitates our management’s internal comparisons to our historical operating results as well as to the operating results of our competitors.

The Company’s management finds these supplemental non-GAAP measures to be useful, and we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in enabling them to perform additional analyses of past, present and future operating performance and as a supplemental means to evaluate our core operating results. However, readers are reminded that non-GAAP numbers are merely a supplement to, and not a replacement for, US GAAP financial measures. They should be read in conjunction with the US GAAP financial measures. It should be noted as well that our non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies.
