                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Participants and Administrator of
the Amkor Technology, Inc., 401(K) Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the Amkor Technology, Inc., 401(K) Plan (the "Plan") at December 31, 2002 and
2001, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended
December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these
statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America, which 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, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of Nonexempt
Transactions and Assets Held at End of Year are presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedules have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2002

(1)      DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

         The following description of the Amkor Technology, Inc., 401(K) Plan
         (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer
         to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's
         provisions.

         GENERAL

         The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all
         employees of Amkor Technology, Inc. (the Employer). The Plan is
         intended to comply with the applicable requirements of the Internal
         Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the IRC) and the provisions of the
         Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA).

         ADMINISTRATION

         Under ERISA, the Employer is the designated administrator of the Plan.
         The Employer has contracted with Fidelity Management Trust Company
         (Fidelity Trust) and its affiliates to maintain participants' Plan
         accounts and to provide certain other recordkeeping and administrative
         services for the Plan, and with Fidelity Trust to act as the Plan's
         trustee.

         CONTRIBUTIONS

         Participants may elect to defer up to 60% of their eligible
         compensation (as defined in the Plan) each year, subject to IRC limits.
         Participants may also rollover to the Plan amounts representing
         eligible distributions from other qualified plans.

         Each plan year, the Employer contributes non-discretionary matching
         contributions in an amount equal to 75% of each eligible participant's
         deferral contributions to the Plan, not to exceed the lesser of $6,000
         or 16% of the participant's eligible compensation. Plan participants
         must complete one year of service to be eligible for Employer matching
         contributions. The Employer also may make additional matching Employer
         contributions of a percent, if any, to be determined annually based on
         a percentage of eligible participants' deferral contributions.

         PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

         Each participant's account is credited with the participant's deferral
         contributions, any qualified rollover contributions and allocations of
         (a) any Employer matching contributions and (b) Plan earnings or
         losses, and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses, if
         applicable. Allocations of Plan earnings or losses are based on
         participant account balances. The benefit to which a participant is
         entitled is the balance of the participant's vested account.

         VESTING

         Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual
         earnings (if any) thereon. Vesting in the Employer's matching
         contribution portion of their accounts plus actual earnings (if any)
         thereon is based on

                                       F4


                       AMKOR TECHNOLOGY, INC. 401(k) PLAN
                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
                           DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2002

         participants' years of credited service. A participant is 34% vested
         after one year of credited service, 67% vested after two years of
         credited service and 100 percent vested after three years of credited
         service.

         Active participants will become fully vested in the Employer's matching
         contribution portion of their accounts if they reach normal retirement
         age (age 65), become disabled (as defined in the Plan), or die.

         FORFEITURES

         At December 31, 2002 and 2001, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled
         $133,559 and $123,382, respectively, and are available to reduce the
         Employer's cost of future matching contributions. In 2002, the Employer
         did not use forfeited nonvested accounts to reduce its matching
         contributions.

         PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

         On termination of service, a participant generally may elect to leave
         his or her account balance in the Plan or receive a lump-sum
         distribution of his or her vested account balance. If a terminated
         participant's vested account balance is $5,000 or less, a lump sum
         distribution of the participant's vested account balance automatically
         will be made without his or her consent.

         INVESTMENT OPTIONS

         Assets of the Plan are held by Fidelity Trust and are invested in the
         investment options available under the Plan based on instructions
         received from Plan participants. The Plan offers a number of options
         for the investment of participants' Plan accounts, including various
         mutual funds, an open-ended commingled pool sponsored by Fidelity Trust
         and, effective January 1, 2002, an Employer common stock fund.

         ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

         The Plan's administrative expenses are payable from Plan assets unless
         paid by the Employer, as provided by the Plan document. During 2002,
         administrative expenses of the Plan paid by the Employer amounted to
         approximately $35,100.

(2)      SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         PRESENTATION

         The financial statements of the Plan are presented on the accrual basis
         of accounting.

         ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
         and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets
         available for plan benefits and changes therein. Accordingly, actual
         results could differ from those estimates.

                       AMKOR TECHNOLOGY, INC. 401(k) PLAN
                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
                           DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2002

         RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

         As described in Note 1, the Plan provides participants with various
         investment options. Such investments are exposed to various risks, such
         as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk
         associated with certain investments and the level of uncertainty
         related to changes in the value of certain investments, it is at least
         reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would
         materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts
         reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits and the
         statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.

         PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

         Benefits are recorded when paid.

(3)      PARTICIPANT LOANS RECEIVABLE

         Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a
         maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 (less their highest outstanding
         loan balance during the prior 12 months) or 50 percent of their vested
         account balance. Loan transactions are treated as a transfer to (from)
         the investment fund from (to) the Participant Loan Fund. Loan terms
         range from 1-5 years or up to 10 years for the purchase of a primary
         residence. The loans are secured by the vested balance in the
         participant's account and bear interest at a rate commensurate with
         local prevailing market rates. Outstanding loans at December 31, 2002
         carry interest rates ranging from 6% to 10.67%. Principal and interest
         generally are paid ratably through monthly payroll deductions. Loans
         are payable in full upon a participant's termination of employment with
         the Employer.

(4)      PLAN TERMINATION

         Although it has not expressed any interest to do so, the Employer has
         the right under the Plan to terminate or modify the Plan at any time
         and for any reason, subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of
         Plan termination, participants will become 100 percent vested in their
         accounts.

(5)      TAX STATUS

         The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on December 5, 2001,
         in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then
         designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the
         IRC. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter
         to bring it into compliance with applicable law and to make other
         desired changes. The Plan administrator believes that the Plan
         continues to be designed and is being operated in compliance with the
         applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, no provision for income
         taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements.

(7)      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         Certain Plan investments are managed by Fidelity Trust, the Plan's
         trustee, or an affiliate of Fidelity Trust. Any purchases and sales
         of these funds are performed in the open market at fair value. Such
         transactions, while considered to be party-in-interest transactions
         under ERISA, are permitted under the provisions of the Plan and are
         specifically exempt from the prohibition of party-in-interest
         transactions under ERISA.

         During 2002, the Plan paid $35,074 to Fidelity for administrative
         expenses.

         As allowed by the Plan, participants may elect to invest their accounts
         in the Amkor Technology, Inc. Stock Fund (the Stock Fund), which
         invests solely in shares of the Employer's common stock. Investments in
         the Stock Fund are at the direction of the Plan participants. The
         shares of Amkor Technology, Inc. common stock are traded in the open
         market. Participants purchased 367,969 shares at a cost of $1,552,716
         in 2002.

(8)      PLAN AMENDMENTS

         Effective January 1, 2002, the following Plan amendments were adopted
         by the Employer:

         -        The percentage of eligible compensation that participants may
                  elect to defer increased from 13% to 60%, subject to IRC
                  limits;

         -        The maximum quarterly employer matching contributions per
                  participant of $1,500 was eliminated. The maximum annual
                  employer matching contributions per participant was changed to
                  be the lesser of $6,000 or 16% of eligible compensation;

         -        The vesting schedule for the Plan was reduced from a five-year
                  graded schedule to a three-year graded schedule;

         -        Discretionary Employer profit-sharing contributions were
                  eliminated from the Plan;

         -        Distributions from the Plan may now be taken as lump sum only;
                  and

         -        The Plan added the stock of the Employer (Amkor Technology,
                  Inc.) as an investment option.

         -        The age requirement for participation in the Plan was
                  eliminated.
