Re: Interim Results of GVC Corporation for 2000 and 2001

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

August 17, 2001

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of GVC Corporation

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of GVC Corporation (the Company)
as of June 30, 2001 and 2000, and the related statements of income, of changes 
in stockholders' equity and of cash flows for the six-month periods then ended. 
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.

Except as explained in the third paragraph, we conducted our audits in 
accordance with the "Rules Governing Examination of Financial Statements by 
Certified Public Accountants" and generally accepted auditing standards in the 
Republic of China.  These standards require that we plan and perform the audits 
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, in 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.

As explained in Note 4(6), the financial statements included long-term  
investments in certain investee companies amounting to NT$1,017,741 thousand and
NT$934,990 thousand as of June 30, 2001 and 2000, representing 6 percent of the 
Company's total assets, respectively, and related investment income amounting to
NT$20,889 thousand and investment loss amounted to NT$111,363 thousand for the 
six-month periods then ended, representing 4 percent and 32 percent of income 
before income tax (including the loss and income from continuing and 
discontinued operations), respectively, which were accounted for under the 
equity method based on the financial statements of the investee companies as of 
such dates, which were not audited by independent auditors.  The information 
disclosed in Note 11 relating to these investee companies was based on their 
unaudited financial statements.

In our opinion, based on our audits, except for the effect on the financial 
statements of such adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be 
necessary had the financial statements of certain investee companies been 
audited as described in the third paragraph, the financial statements referred 
to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the 
financial position of GVC Corporation as of June 30, 2001 and 2000, and the 
results of its operations and its cash flows for the six-month periods then 
ended in conformity with "The Rules Governing the Preparation of Financial 
Statements of Securities Issuers" and the accounting principles generally 
accepted in the Republic of China.

The accompanying financial statements are not intended to present the financial 
position and results of operations and cash flows of the Company in accordance 
with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in countries and 
jurisdictions other than the Republic of China.  The standards, procedures and 
practices in the Republic of China governing the audit of such financial 
statements may differ from those generally accepted in countries and 
jurisdictions other then the Republic of China.
