Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C. October 30, 2009 - Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd (TAIEX: 2412, NYSE: CHT) (“Chunghwa” or “the Company”), today reported its operating results for the first nine months and third quarter of 2009. All figures were presented on a consolidated basis and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the Republic of China (“ROC GAAP”).

(Comparisons, unless otherwise stated, are to the prior year period)

Financial Highlights for the First Nine Months of 2009:

Total consolidated revenue decreased by 3.0% to NT$147.2 billion

Mobile communications business revenue decreased by 3.9% to NT$64.6 billion; mobile value-added services (VAS) revenue increased by 18.8% to NT$6.2 billion

Internet business revenue increased by 0.4% to NT$17.2 billion; internet value-added services (VAS) revenue increased by 17.5% to NT$1.5 billion

Domestic fixed communications business revenue decreased by 2.8% to NT$52.9 billion

International fixed communications business revenue decreased by 3.8% to NT$11.5 billion

Total operating costs and expenses decreased by 0.9% to NT$104.0 billion

Net income totaled NT$33.2 billion, representing a decrease of 9.2%

Basic earnings per share (EPS) decreased by 9.3% to NT$3.42

Financial Highlights for the Third Quarter of 2009:

Total consolidated revenue decreased by 1.7% to NT$50.1 billion

Mobile communications business revenue decreased by 2.5% to NT$22.1 billion

Internet business revenue decreased by 0.1% to NT$5.8 billion

Domestic fixed communications business revenue decreased by 2.6% to NT$17.7 billion

International fixed communications business revenue increased by 4.0% to NT$4.1 billion

Total operating costs and expenses decreased by 1.3% to NT$35.9 billion

Net income totaled NT$10.9 billion, representing a decrease of 17.9%

Basic earnings per share (EPS) decreased by 17.9% to NT$1.13

Dr. Shyue-Ching Lu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Chunghwa Telecom said, “In 2009, and particularly in the third quarter of 2009, we have maintained or increased the subscriber figures in each of our core businesses, including the highly competitive broadband and mobile businesses, despite the challenges presented by the economic environment and market competition. As a result, we have sustained our overall market leadership position in each of our core service areas, and continue to enhance our value-added services, MOD/IPTV offering and key enterprise solutions. Moving forward, we plan to accelerate our fiber deployment and further enrich our MOD/IPTV content in order to continue our growth momentum.

“Beginning in the third quarter of 2009, we are presenting our financial reporting in five operating segments rather than the previous seven segments. We have carefully considered this redefinition and believe that this revised financial reporting framework will better facilitate our ability to assess the performance of each operating segment. This change brings our reporting more in line with global industry standards, and we believe that it will better align our internal reporting metrics and enhance the transparency of our communications.”

Revenue

Chunghwa’s total consolidated revenue for the first nine months of 2009 decreased by 3.0% year-over-year to NT$147.2 billion, of which 43.9% was from the mobile business, 11.7% was from the internet business, 36.0% was from the domestic fixed business, 7.8% was from the international fixed business and the remainder was from the non-telecom business. The primary reasons for the revenue decline were the economic downturn and market competition, which resulted in reduced traffic in the domestic and the international fixed line business.

For the mobile business, total revenue for the first nine months of 2009 amounted to NT$64.6 billion, representing a decline of 3.9% year-over-year. This decline was mainly due to a decrease in handset and data card sales from Senao. However, Chunghwa made progress by increasing its mobile subscriber numbers by 3.5% and enhancing its value-added-service (“VAS”) revenue by 18.8% compared to the same period in 2008.

Chunghwa’s internet business revenue increased slightly by 0.4% year-over-year to NT$17.2 billion in the first nine months of 2009. The impact of successful promotion of VAS, such as on-line music and games and internet pornography gatekeeper, was offset by the HiNet tariff reduction implementation, which began in November 2008.

For the first nine months of 2009, domestic fixed revenue totaled NT$52.9 billion, representing a decrease of 2.8% year-over-year. Local and domestic long distance revenues decreased by 5.5% and 9.3%, respectively, year-over-year. These decreases were mainly due to the economic downturn, as well as mobile and VOIP substitution. Broadband revenue, including ADSL and FTTx, slightly decreased by 0.5% to NT$14.9 billion. This decrease was mainly attributable to cable competition and ADSL tariff reduction.

International fixed revenue decreased by 3.8%, primarily because of international leased line revenue growth, the impact of which was partially offset by the decrease in international long distance revenue.

Finally, other non-telecom service revenue decreased by 7.1% to NT$0.9 billion in the first nine months of 2009 compared to same period last year.

For the third quarter of 2009, total revenue was NT$50.1 billion, a 1.7% decrease from the same period last year. Of this amount, the mobile business contributed 44.1%, the internet business 11.6%, the domestic fixed business 35.4%, the international fixed business 8.2%, and the remainder was from non-telecom business.

Costs and expenses

Total operating costs and expenses for the first nine months of 2009 were NT$104.0 billion, a decrease of 0.9% year-over-year. For the third quarter of 2009, total operating costs and expenses were NT$35.9 billion, a decrease of 1.3% compared to the third quarter of 2008. Decreases for the nine month and three month periods ending September 30, 2009 were mainly due to an operating cost decline at Senao that was the result of Senao’s revenue decline, as well as decreased Chunghwa parent company depreciation expense.

Income Tax

Income tax expenses for the first nine months of 2009 were NT$10.0 billion, representing a decrease of 10.1% compared to NT$11.1 billion for the first nine months of 2008. This decrease was mainly due to the lower operating profit.

EBITDA and Net Income

EBITDA and operating profit for the first nine months of 2009 decreased by 6.6% to NT$70.6 billion and by 7.8% to NT$43.2 billion, respectively, primarily due to the revenue decrease. Net income was further depressed by the reduced interest income, resulting in a 9.2% decline year-over-year. EBITDA margin and the operating margin for the first nine months of 2009 were 47.9% and 29.4%, respectively, compared to a 49.7% EBITDA margin and 30.9% operating margin in the same period of 2008.

Similarly, EBITDA and operating profit for third quarter of 2009 decreased by 3.6% to NT$23.2 billion and by 2.9% to NT$14.2 billion, respectively. The reason for these declines is the overall revenue decrease. However, the EBITDA and operating profit margin for the third quarter of 2009, 46.3% and 28.3%, respectively, were relatively stable compared to the third quarter of 2008.

Net income decreased by 17.9% to NT$10.9 billion for the third quarter of 2009, which is a higher decline rate relative to the operating profit for the same period, primarily due to the revenue decline and the reversal of the mark-to-market valuation loss from the foreign exchange derivatives contract in 2008.

Capital Expenditure (“Capex”)

Total capex for the first nine months of 2009 amounted to NT$16.6 billion, a 9.7% decrease compared to that of the same period in 2008. Of the NT$16.6 billion capex figure, 79.8% was used for the fixed-line and the internet businesses, 17.8% was used for the mobile business and the remainder was for other uses.

Cash Flow

Cash flow from operating activities for the first nine months of 2009 decreased by 11.5% to NT$49.5 billion compared to the first nine months of 2008. This was primarily because of the revenue decline which decreased EBITDA by NT$5.0 billion, as well as the NT$3.2 billion income tax refund the Chunghwa parent company received in the second quarter of 2008.

As of September 30, 2009, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled NT$55.8 billion, a decrease of 45.9% year-over-year compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the cash dividend distribution in September of 2009.

Businesses Performance Highlights:

Broadband/ HiNet Business

Total broadband subscribers were 4.31 million as of September 30, 2009, a 0.4% decrease in the number of subscriptions compared to the same period of last year. However, Chunghwa made important progress over the course of third quarter of 2009: There was a strong growth in FTTx subscriptions, with 165 thousand net additions to bring the total to 1.51 million, compared to 1.34 million FTTx subscribers as of June 30, 2009. However, ADSL subscribers decreased by 161 thousand to 2.80 million quarter-over-quarter. By the end of September 2009, the number of ADSL and FTTx subscriptions with a service speed of greater than 8 Mbps reached 1.91 million, representing 44.4% of total broadband subscribers, compared to 34.8% at the end of September 2008.

HiNet subscribers were 4.07 million at the end of September 2009, relatively stable as compared to the end of the second quarter of 2009. The increase in HiNet FTTx subscribers was offset by a decrease in HiNet ADSL subscribers of a similar magnitude.

Mobile Business

As of September 30, 2009, Chunghwa had 9.18 million mobile subscribers, slightly up quarter-over-quarter by 1.6% compared to 9.04 million as of June 30, 2009.

Chunghwa remained the leading mobile operator in Taiwan. According to statistics published by National Communications Commission (“NCC”), at the end of August 2009, the Company’s total subscriber market share (including 2G, 3G and PHS) was 34.5%, while its revenue share was 33.0%.

Chunghwa had 384 thousand net additions to its 3G subscriber base during the third quarter of 2009, recording a 9.4% rise quarter-over-quarter in the total number of 3G subscribers to 4.49 million as of September 30, 2009.

Mobile VAS revenue for the first nine months of 2009 was NT$6.18 billion, representing a 18.8% year-over-year increase, of which SMS revenue was up 12.9% and mobile Internet revenue was up 48.1% , respectively, compared to the same period of 2008.

Domestic/International Fixed-line Businesses

As of the end of September 2009, the Company maintained its leading fixed-line market position, with fixed-line subscribers totaling 12.51 million.

Forecast for the Fourth Quarter 2009

As the user traffic continues to increase due to the overall economic recovery, Chunghwa currently estimates that the total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2009 will be relatively stable at NT$46.1 billion, compared to NT$46.7 billion revenue from the fourth quarter of 2008.

EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2009 is estimated to be NT$20.8bn, operating profit NT$11.9bn and net income NT$9.3bn. While our EBITDA forecast is slightly down by 0.3%, operating profit and net income for the fourth quarter 2009 are expected to grow by 4.1% and 9.6% respectively, year-over-year.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and

Independent Accountants’ Review Report

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd.

We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheets of Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the nine months then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these financial statements based on our review.

Except for the matters described in the next paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with the Statement of Auditing Standards No. 36, “Review of Financial Statements,” issued by the Auditing Committee of the Accounting Research and Development Foundation of the Republic of China. A review consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

As discussed in Note 12 to the financial statements, we did not review all financial statements of equity-accounted investments, the investments in which are reflected in the accompanying financial statements using the equity method of accounting. The aggregate carrying values of the equity method investees were NT$8,942,371 thousand and NT$7,197,490 thousand as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and the equity in earnings (losses) were NT$(7,358) thousand and NT$125,741 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Based on our reviews, except for the effects of such adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had we reviewed financial statements of certain equity method investees referred to in the preceding paragraph, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with the Securities and Exchange Act, the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, requirements of the Business Accounting Law and Guidelines Governing Business Accounting relevant to financial accounting standards, and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.

- 1 -

As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements on January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Interpretation 96-052 issued by the Accounting and Research Development Foundation of the Republic of China that requires companies to record bonuses paid to employees, directors and supervisors as an expense rather than an appropriation of earnings. The company early adopted the new Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 41, “Operating Segments” (“SFAS No. 41”) beginning from September 1, 2009.

We have also reviewed the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, and have issued a qualified review report.

October 26, 2009

Notice to Readers

The accompanying financial statements are intended only to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdictions. The standards, procedures and practices to review such financial statements are those generally accepted and applied in the Republic of China.

For the convenience of readers, the accountants’ review report and the accompanying financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language accountants’ review report and financial statements shall prevail.

1.	GENERAL

Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. (“Chunghwa”) was incorporated on July 1, 1996 in the Republic of China (“ROC”) pursuant to the Article 30 of the Telecommunications Act. Chunghwa is a company limited by shares and, prior to August 2000, was wholly owned by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (“MOTC”). Prior to July 1, 1996, the current operations of Chunghwa were carried out under the Directorate General of Telecommunications (“DGT”). The DGT was established by the MOTC in June 1943 to take primary responsibility in the development of telecommunications infrastructure and to formulate policies related to telecommunications. On July 1, 1996, the telecom operations of the DGT were spun-off to as Chunghwa which continues to carry out the business and the DGT continues to be the industry regulator.

As a telecommunications service provider of fixed-line and GSM, Chunghwa was announced as a market dominator by the MOTC; therefore Chunghwa is subject to the applicable telecommunications regulations for market dominators of the ROC.

Effective August 12, 2005, the MOTC had completed the process of privatizing Chunghwa by reducing the government ownership to below 50% in various stages. In July 2000, Chunghwa received approval from the Securities and Futures Commission (the “SFC”) for a domestic initial public offering and its common shares were listed and traded on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (the “TSE”) on October 27, 2000. Certain of Chunghwa’s common shares had been sold, in connection with the foregoing privatization plan, in domestic public offerings at various dates from August 2000 to July 2003. Certain of Chunghwa’s common shares had also been sold in an international offering of securities in the form of American Depository Shares (“ADS”) on July 17, 2003 and were listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). The MOTC sold common shares of Chunghwa by auction in the ROC on August 9, 2005 and completed the second international offering on August 10, 2005. Upon completion of the share transfers associated with these offerings on August 12, 2005, the MOTC owned less than 50% of the outstanding shares of Chunghwa and completed the privatization plan.

As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had 24,434 and 24,690 employees, respectively.

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements were prepared in conformity with the Securities and Exchange Act, the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, requirements of the Business Accounting Law, Guidelines Governing Business Accounting relevant to financial accounting standards, and accounting principles generally accepted in the ROC (“ROC GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make reasonable estimates and assumptions on allowances for doubtful accounts, valuation allowances on inventories, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, impairment of assets, bonuses paid to employees, directors and supervisors, pension plans and income tax which are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant accounting policies are summarized as follows:

Classification of Current and Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities

Current assets are assets expected to be converted to cash, sold or consumed within one year from balance sheet date. Current liabilities are obligations expected to be settled within one year from balance sheet date. Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are noncurrent assets and liabilities, respectively.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are commercial paper, bonds with maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Financial Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss

Financial instruments classified as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) include financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading and those designated as at FVTPL on initial recognition. The Company recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. A financial asset is derecognized when the Company losses control of its contractual rights over the financial asset. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.

Financial instruments at FVTPL are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized as expenses as incurred. Financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are remeasured at fair value, subsequently with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Cash dividends received subsequently (including those received in the period of investment) are recognized as income. On derecognition of a financial asset or a financial liability, the difference between its carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable or consideration paid and payable is recognized in earnings. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is accounted for using trade date accounting.

Derivatives that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting is classified as financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading. When the fair value is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; when the fair value is negative, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.

Available-for-sale Financial Assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. Changes in fair value from subsequent remeasurement are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The corresponding accumulated gains or losses are recognized in earnings when the financial asset is derecognized from the balance sheet. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is accounted for using trade date accounting.

- 11 -

The recognition and derecognition of available-for-sale financial assets are similar to those of financial assets at FVTPL.

Fair values are determined as follows: Listed stocks - at closing prices at the balance sheet date; open-end mutual funds - at net asset values at the balance sheet date; bonds - quoted at prices provided by the Taiwan GreTai Securities Market; and financial assets and financial liabilities without quoted prices in an active market - at values determined using valuation techniques.

Cash dividends are recognized in earnings on the ex-dividend date, except for the dividends declared before acquisitions are treated as a reduction of investment cost. Stock dividends are recorded as an increase in the number of shares and do not affect investment income. The total number of shares subsequent to the increase of stock dividends is used for recalculate cost per share.

An impairment loss is recognized when there is objective evidence that the financial asset is impaired. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases, for equity securities, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed to the extent to the decrease and recorded as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity; for debt securities, the amount of the decrease is recognized in earnings, provided that the decrease is clearly attributable to an event which occurred after the impairment loss was recognized.

Held-to-maturity Financial Assets

Held-to-maturity financial assets are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Those financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. Gains and losses are recognized at the time of derecognition, impairment or amortization. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is accounted for using trade date accounting.

If there is objective evidence which indicates that a financial asset is impaired, a loss is recognized. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease is clearly attributable to an event which occurred after the impairment loss was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed to the extent of the decrease. The reversal may not result in a carrying amount that exceeds the amortized cost that would have been determined as if no impairment loss had been recognized.

Revenue Recognition, Account Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Receivables

Revenues are recognized when they are realized or realizable and earned. Revenues are realized or realizable and earned when the Company has persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the goods have been delivered or the services have been rendered to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts agreed between the Company and the customers for goods sold in the normal course of business, net of sales discounts and volume rebates. For trade receivables due within one year from the balance sheet date, as the nominal value of the consideration to be received approximates its fair value and transactions are frequent, fair value of the consideration is not determined by discounting all future receipts using an imputed rate of interest.

Usage revenues from fixed-line services (including local, domestic long distance and international long distance), cellular services, Internet and data services, and interconnection and call transfer fees from other telecommunications companies and carriers are billed in arrears and are recognized based upon minutes of traffic processed when the services are provided in accordance with contract terms.

The costs of providing services are recognized as incurred. Incentives to third party dealers for inducing business which are payable when the end user enters into an airtime contract are recognized in marketing expenses as incurred.

- 12 -

Other revenues are recognized as follows: (a) one-time subscriber connection fees (on fixed-line services) are deferred and recognized over the average expected customer service periods, (b) monthly fees (on fixed-line services, wireless and Internet and data services) are accrued every month, and (c) prepaid services (fixed-line, cellular and Internet) are recognized as income based upon actual usage by customers or when the right to use those services expires.

Where the Company enters into transactions which involve both the provision of air time bundled with products such as 3G data card and handset, total consideration received from handsets in these arrangements is allocated and measured using units of accounting within the arrangement based on relative fair values limited to the amount that is not contingent upon the delivery of other items or services.

Where the Company sells products to third party cellular phone stores the Company records the direct sale of the products, typically handsets, as gross revenue when the Company is the primary obligor in the arrangement and when title is passed and the products are accepted by the stores.

An allowance for doubtful receivables is provided based on a review of the collectibility of accounts receivable. The Company determines the amount of allowance for doubtful receivables by examining the aging analysis of outstanding accounts receivable.

Inventories

Inventories including merchandise and work-in-process are stated at the lower of cost (weighted-average cost) or net realizable value item by item, except for those that may be appropriate to group items of similar or related inventories. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. The calculation of the cost of inventory is derived using the weighted- average method.

Investments Accounted for using Equity Method

Investments in companies in which the Company exercises significant influence over the operating and financial policy decisions are accounted for by the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment is initially stated at cost and subsequently adjusted for its proportionate share in the net earnings of the investee companies. Any cash dividends received are recognized as a reduction in the carrying value of the investments.

Gains or losses on sales from the Company to equity method investees wherein the Company does not have substantial control over these equity investees are deferred in proportion to the Company’s ownership percentage in the investees until such gains or losses are realized through transactions with third parties. Gains or losses on sales from equity method investees to the Company are deferred in proportion to the Company’s ownership percentages in the investees until they are realized through transactions with third parties.

Effective January 1, 2006, pursuant to the revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, the cost of an investment shall be analyzed and the difference between the cost of investment and the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired, representing goodwill, shall not be amortized and instead shall be tested for impairment annually. If the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the cost of investment, the excess shall be proportionately allocated as reductions to fair values of noncurrent assets except (a) financial assets other than investments accounted for using equity method, (b) assets to be disposed of by sale, (c) deferred tax assets, and (d) prepaid assets relating to pension or other postretirement benefit plans. If any excess remains after reducing the aforementioned items, the remaining excess shall be recognized as an extraordinary gain.

- 13 -

When the Company subscribes for additional investees shares at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment in the investee differs from the amount of the Company share of the investee’s equity. The Company records such a difference as an adjustment to long-term investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to additional paid-in capital to the extent available, with the balance charged to retained earnings.

Financial Assets Carried at Cost

Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted price in an active market and whose fair values cannot be reliably measured such as non-publicly traded stocks are measured at their original cost. If there is objective evidence which indicates that a financial asset is impaired, a loss is recognized. A subsequent reversal of such impairment loss is not allowed.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost plus a revaluation increment, if any, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. The interest costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction of a qualifying asset are capitalized as property, plant and equipment. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

When an indication of impairment is identified, any excess of the carrying amount of an asset over its recoverable amount is recognized as a loss. If the recoverable amount increases in a subsequent period, the amount previously recognized as impairment would be reversed and recognized as a gain. However, the adjusted amount may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, as if no impairment loss had been recognized.

An impairment loss on a revalued asset is charged to “unrealized revaluation increment” under equity to the extent available, with the balance is recognized as a loss in earnings. If the recoverable amount increases in a subsequent period, the amount previously recognized as impairment loss could be reversed and recognized as a gain, with the remaining credited to “unrealized revaluation increment”.

Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated service lives: land improvements - 10 to 30 years; buildings - 10 to 60 years; computer equipment - 6 to 10 years; telecommunications equipment - 6 to 15 years; transportation equipment - 5 to 10 years; and miscellaneous equipment - 3 to 12 years.

Upon sale or disposal of property, plant and equipment, the related cost, accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses and any unrealized revaluation increment are deducted from the corresponding accounts, and any gain or loss recorded as non-operating gains or losses in the period of sale or disposal.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets mainly include 3G Concession, computer software and patents.

The 3G license is valid through December 31, 2018. The 3G Concession fee is amortized on a straight-line basis from the date operations commence through the date the license expires. Computer software costs and patents are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 3-20 years.

The Company adopted the newly advised Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 37, “Intangible Assets.” Expenditure on research shall be expensed as incurred. Development costs are capitalized when those costs meet relative criteria and are amortized using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives. Development costs that do not meet relative criteria shall be expensed as incurred.

- 14 -

Idle Assets

Idle assets are carried at the lower of recoverable amount or carrying amount.

Pension Costs

For defined benefit pension plans, net periodic pension benefit cost is recorded in the statement of income and includes service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of prior service costs, amortization of pension gains (losses) and curtailment or settlement gains (losses).

The Company recognizes into income, any unrecognized actuarial net gains or losses that exceed 10% of the larger of projected benefit obligations or plan assets, defined as the “corridor”. Amounts inside this 10% corridor are amortized over the average remaining service life of active plan participants. Actuarial net gains and losses occur when actual experience differs from any of the many assumptions used to value the plans. Differences between the expected and actual returns on plan assets and changes in interest rate, which affect the discount rate used to value projected plan obligations, can have a significant impact on the calculation of pension net gains and losses from year to year.

The curtailments and settlement gains (losses) resulted from the Chunghwa’s early retirement programs. Curtailment/settlement gains or losses are equal to the changes of underfunded status plus the a pro rata portion of the unrecognized prior service cost, unrecognized net gains (losses), and unrecognized transition obligations/assets, before the settlement/curtailment event multiplied by the percentage reduction in projected benefit obligation.

The projected benefit obligation represents the actuarial present value of benefits expected to be paid upon retirement based on estimated future compensation levels.

The carrying amount of accrued pension liability should be the sum of the following amounts: (a) projected benefit obligation as of balance sheet date, (b) minus (plus) unamortized actuarial loss (gain), (c) minus unamortized prior service cost, and (d) minus the fair value of plan assets. If the amount determined by above calculation is negative, it is viewed as prepaid pension cost. The prepaid pension cost is measured at the lower of: (a) the amount determined above, and (b) the sum of the following amounts: (i) unamortized actuarial loss, (ii) unamortized prior service cost, and (iii) the present value of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.

The measurement of benefit obligations and net periodic cost (income) is based on estimates and assumptions approved by the company’s management such as compensation, age and seniority, as well as certain assumptions, including estimates of discount rates, expected return on plan assets and rate of compensation increases.

For employees under defined contribution pension plans, pension costs are recorded based on the actual contributions made to employees’ individual pension accounts during their service periods.

Expense Recognition

The costs of providing services are recognized as incurred. The cost includes incentives to third party dealers for inducing business which are payable when the end user enters into an airtime contract.

- 15 -

Treasury Stock

Treasury stock is recorded at cost and shown as a reduction to stockholders’ equity. Upon cancellation of treasury stock, the treasury stock account is reduced and the common stocks as well as the capital surplus are reversed on a pro rata basis. If capital surplus is not sufficient for debiting purposes, the difference is charged to retained earnings.

Income Tax

The Company applies inter-period allocations for its income tax, whereby deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax effects of temporary differences and unused tax credits. Valuation allowances are provided to the extent, if any, that it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be realized. A deferred tax asset or liability is classified as current or noncurrent in accordance with the classification of its related asset or liability. However, if a deferred tax asset or liability does not relate to an asset or liability in the financial statements, then it is classified as either current or noncurrent based on the expected length of time before it is realized or settled.

Any tax credits arising from purchases of machinery, equipment and technology, research and development expenditures, personnel training, and investments in important technology-based enterprises are recognized using the flow-through method.

Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.

Income taxes (10%) on undistributed earnings is recorded in the year of stockholders approval which is the year subsequent to the year the earnings are generated.

Foreign-currency Transactions

Foreign-currency transactions are recorded in New Taiwan dollars at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occur. Exchange gains or losses derived from foreign-currency transactions or monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in earnings. At the balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are revalued at prevailing exchange rates with the resulting gains or losses recognized in earnings.

The financial statements of foreign equity investees are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the following exchange rates. Assets and liabilities - spot rates at period end; stockholders’ equity - historical rates, income and expenses - average rates during the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Hedge Accounting

A hedging relationship qualifies for hedge accounting only if, all of the following conditions are met: (a) at the inception of the hedge, there is formal documentation of the hedging relationship and the entity’s risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge; (b) the hedge is expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value attributable to the hedged risk, consistently with the risk management strategy documented for that particular hedging relationship; (c) the effectiveness of the hedge can be reliably measured; (d) the hedge is assessed on an ongoing basis and determined actually to have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which the hedge was designated.

The gain or loss from remeasuring the hedging instrument at fair value and the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings.

3.	EFFECT OF CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

The Company early adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 41 “Operating Segments” (“ SFAS No. 41” ) starting from September 1, 2009. This Statement supersedes the Statement of Financial accounting Standards No. 20 “Segment Reporting”. For comparative purpose, the segment information for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was presented in accordance with SFAS No. 41

The Company adopted the newly-revised Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 10, “Accounting for Inventories,” (“SFAS No. 10”) beginning from January 1, 2009, which requires inventories to be stated at the lower of cost (weighted-average cost) or net realizable value item by item, except for those that may be appropriate to group items of similar or related inventories. The inventory - related incomes and expenses shall be classified as operating cost. The adoption of the revised SFAS No. 10 does not have significant impact on the Company’s net income and basic earnings per share (after income tax) for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The Company reclassified non-operating losses of $32,224 thousand to operating costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Chunghwa entered into investment management agreements with well-known financial institutions (fund managers) to manage its investment portfolios in 2006. The investment portfolios managed by these fund managers aggregated to an original amount of US$100,000 thousand. Chunghwa terminated the investment management agreements on March 2, 2009 and asked fund managers to dispose all the investment portfolios. The fund managers had disposed all investment portfolios before June 23, 2009 and returned the proceeds to Chunghwa.

Chunghwa entered into currency swap contracts, forward exchange contracts and index future contracts to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk and variability in operating results due to fluctuations in exchange rates and stock prices.

In September 2007, Chunghwa entered into a 10-year, foreign currency derivative contract with Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (“Goldman”) and valuations are made biweekly starting from September 20, 2007 which are 260 valuation periods in total. Under the terms of the contract, if the NT dollar/US dollar exchange rate is less than NT$31.50 per U.S. dollar at any two consecutive bi-weekly valuation dates during the valuation period starting from October 4, 2007 to September 5, 2017, Chunghwa was required to make a cash payment to Goldman. The settlement amount is determined by the difference between the applicable exchange rates and the base amount of US$4,000 thousand. Conversely, if the NT dollar/US dollar exchange rate was above NT$31.50 per US dollar using the same valuation methodology, Goldman would have a settlement obligation to Chunghwa determined using a base amount of US$2,000 thousand. Further, if the exchange rate is at or above NT$32.70 per US dollar starting from December 12, 2007 at any time, the contract will be terminated at that time. In accordance with the terms of the contract, Chunghwa deposited US$3,000 thousand with Goldman with annual yield rate of 8%. On October 21, 2008, the exchange rate was above NT$32.70 per US dollar, so the contract was terminated at that time.

Net gain arising from financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $67,027 thousand (including realized settlement loss of $54,600 thousand and valuation gain of $121,627 thousand) and net loss arising from financing assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $343,410 thousand (including realized settlement gain of $424,375 thousand and valuation loss of $767,785 thousand).

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Under Chunghwa’s Articles of Incorporation, Chunghwa’s authorized capital is $120,000,000,000 which is divided into 12,000,000,000 common shares (at $10 par value per share), among which 10,666,488,999 shares are issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2009.

On March 28, 2006, the board of directors approved the issuance of the 2 preferred shares, and the MOTC purchased the 2 preferred shares at par value on April 4, 2006. In accordance with the Articles of Incorporation of Chunghwa, the preferred shares would be redeemed by Chunghwa three years from the date of issuance at their par value. These preferred shares expired on April 4, 2009 and were redeemed on April 6, 2009.

For the purpose of privatizing Chunghwa, the MOTC sold 1,109,750 thousand common shares of Chunghwa in an international offering of securities in the form of American Depositary Shares (“ADS”) amounting to 110,975 thousand units (one ADS represents ten common shares) on the New York Stock Exchange on July 17, 2003. Afterwards, the MOTC sold 1,350,682 thousand common shares in the form of ADS amounting to 135,068 thousand units on August 10, 2005. Subsequently, the MOTC and Taiwan Mobile Co., Ltd. sold 505,389 thousand and 58,959 thousand common shares of Chunghwa, respectively, in the form of ADS totally amounting to 56,435 thousand units on September 29, 2006. The MOTC and Taiwan Mobile Co., Ltd. have sold 3,024,780 thousand common shares in the form of ADS amounting to 302,478 thousand units. As of September 30, 2009, the outstanding ADSs were 1,194,657 thousand units, which equaled approximately 119,466 thousand common shares and represented 11.20% of Chunghwa’s total outstanding common shares.

- 26 -

The ADS holders generally have the same rights and obligations as other common stockholders, subject to the provision of relevant laws. The exercise of such rights and obligations shall comply with the related regulations and deposit agreement, which stipulate, among other things, that ADS holders can, through deposit agents:

Exercise their voting rights,

Sell their ADSs, and

Receive dividends declared and subscribe to the issuance of new shares.

Under the ROC Company Law, additional paid-in capital may only be utilized to offset deficits. For those companies having no deficits, additional paid-in capital arising from capital surplus can be used to increase capital stock and distribute to stockholders in proportion to their ownership at the ex-dividend date. Also, such amounts can only be declared as a stock dividend by Chunghwa at an amount calculated in accordance with the provisions of existing regulations. The combined amount of any portions capitalized each year may not exceed 10 percent of common stock issued. However, where a company undergoes an organizational change (such as a merger, acquisition, or reorganization) that results in the capitalization of undistributed earnings after the organizational change, the above restriction does not apply.

In addition, before distributing a dividend or making any other distribution to stockholders, Chunghwa must pay all outstanding taxes, recover any past losses and set aside a legal reserve equal to 10% of its net income, and depending on its business needs or requirements, may also set aside a special reserve. In accordance with the Articles of Incorporation, no less than 50% of the remaining earnings comprising remaining balance of net income, if any, plus cumulative undistributed earnings shall be distributed in the following order: (a) from 2% to 5% of distributable earnings shall be distributed to employees as employee bonus; (b) no more than 0.2% of distributable earnings shall be distributed to board of directors and supervisors as remuneration; and (c) cash dividends to be distributed shall not be less than 50% of the total amount of dividends to be distributed. If cash dividends to be distributed is less than NT$0.10 per share, such cash dividend shall be distributed in the form of common shares.

Chunghwa operates in a capital-intensive and technology-intensive industry and requires capital expenditures to sustain its competitive position in high-growth market. Thus, Chunghwa’s dividend policy takes into account future capital expenditure outlays. In this regard, a portion of the earnings may be retained to finance these capital expenditures. The remaining earnings can then be distributed as dividends if approved by the stockholders in the following year and will be recorded in the financial statements of that year.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the accrual amounts for bonuses to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors is based on management estimates including past experience and probable amount to be paid in accordance with Chunghwa’s Articles of Incorporation and Implementation Guidance for the Employee’s Bonus Distribution of Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd.

If the initial accrual amounts of the aforementioned bonus are significantly different from the amounts proposed by the board of directors, the difference is charged to the earnings of the year making the initial estimate. Otherwise, the difference between initial accrual amounts and the amounts resoluted in the shareholders’ meeting is charged to the earnings of the following year as a result of change of accounting estimate.

Under the ROC Company Law, the appropriation for legal reserve shall be made until the accumulated reserve equals the aggregate par value of the outstanding capital stock of Chunghwa. This reserve can only be used to offset a deficit, or when reaching 50% of the aggregate par value of the outstanding capital stock of Chunghwa, up to 50% of the reserve may, at the option of Chunghwa, be declared as a stock dividend and transferred to capital.

In March 2007, the ARDF issued an Interpretation 96-052 that requires companies to recognize bonuses paid to employees, directors and supervisors as an expense rather than an appropriation of earnings beginning from January 1, 2008. According to the Interpretation 97-169 issued by ARDF in May 2008, Chunghwa presumed that the employees bonuses to be paid will be settled in shares and takes those shares into consideration when calculating the weighted average number of outstanding shares used in the calculation of diluted EPS if the shares have a dilutive effect for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The number of shares is calculated by dividing the amount of bonuses by the closing price of the Chunghwa’s shares of the balance sheet date. The dilutive effect of the shares needs to be considered until the stockholders resolve the number of shares to be distributed to employees in their meeting in the following year.

The diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was due to the effect of potential common stock of stock options by SENAO.

The weighted average number of outstanding shares for EPS calculation has been retroactively adjusted for employee stock bonuses issued in 2008 as a result of the distribution of 2007 earnings and the issuance of stock dividends. The retroactive adjustments caused the basic EPS before income tax and after income tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to decrease from NT$4.95 to NT$4.88 and decrease from NT$3.82 to NT$3.77, respectively, and the diluted EPS before income tax and after income tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, to decrease from NT$4.94 to NT$4.87 and decrease from NT$3.81 to NT$3.76, respectively.

Chunghwa sold the land with a carrying value of $703,125 thousand to Light Era Development Co., Ltd. (“LED”) at the price of $1,820,880 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. However, since the gain on disposal of land amounting to $1,117,755 thousand is unrealized, the gain was recognized as deferred credit - profit on intercompany transactions, and will not be recognized as revenue till the gain is realized in the future. As of September 30, 2009, the deferred credit-profit on intercompany transactions amounting $1,485,916 thousand included the unrealized gain on land sold to LED in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Acquisitions of land and buildings of $241,832 thousand.

Acquisitions of telecommunications equipment of $21,032,748 thousand.

Contracts to print billing, envelopes and selling gifts $79,313 thousand.

- 36 -

Chunghwa also has non-cancelable operating leases covering certain buildings, computers, computer peripheral equipment and operating system software under contracts that expire in various years. Future lease payments were as follows:


Year	Rental Amount

2009 (from October 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009)	$	486,944
2010		1,391,668
2011		1,148,203
2012		867,601
2013 and thereafter		902,807

A commitment to contribute $2,000,000 thousand to a Piping Fund administered by the Taipei City Government, of which $1,000,000 thousand was contributed by Chunghwa on August 15, 1996 (classified as long-term investment - other monetary assets). When the fund is not sufficient, Chunghwa will contribute the remaining $1,000,000 thousand upon notification from the Taipei City Government. Based on Chunghwa’s understanding of the Piping Fund terms, if the project is considered to be no longer necessary by the ROC government, Chunghwa will receive back its proportionate share of the net equity of the Piping Fund upon its dissolution. Chunghwa does not know when its contribution to the Piping Fund will be returned; therefore, Chunghwa did not discount the face amount of its contribution on the Piping Fund.

A portion of the land used by Chunghwa during the period July 1, 1996 to December 31, 2004 was co-owned by Chunghwa and Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd. (the former Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd. directorate General of Postal Service). In accordance with the claims process in Taiwan, on July 12, 2005, the Taiwan Taipei District Court sent a claim notice to Chunghwa to reimburse Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd. in the amount of $767,852 thousand for land usage compensation due to the portion of land usage area in excess of Chunghwa’s ownership and along with interest calculated at 5% interest rate from June 30, 2005 to the payment date. Chunghwa stated that both parties have the right to use co-management land without consideration. Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd. can not request payment for land compensation. Furthermore, Chunghwa believes that the computation used to derive the land usage compensation amount is inaccurate because most of the compensation amount has expired as result of the expiration clause. Therefore, Chunghwa filed an appeal at the Taiwan Taipei District Court. On March 30, 2009, the Taiwan Taipei District Court rendered its judgment that Chunghwa only need to pay $16,870 thousand along with interest calculated at 5% per annum from July 23, 2005 and 4% of the court fees as the court judgment compensation. Chunghwa had filed an appeal at the Taiwan High Court within the statutory period. As of the date of the review report, the appeal is still in process.

Giga Media filed a civil action against Chunghwa with the Taiwan Taipei District Court (the “Court”) on June 12, 2008. The complaint alleged that Chunghwa infringed Giga Media’s ROC Patent No. I 258284 which is a Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (“PPPoE”) technique used to launch fixed IP of ADSL. Giga Media is seeking damages of $500,000 thousand and interest calculated at 5% for the period from one day following the date Chunghwa received the official notification from the Court to the payment date. Giga Media withdrew this civil action on October 2, 2009.

Methods and assumptions used in the determination of fair values of financial instruments:

The fair values of certain financial instruments recognized in the balance sheet generally correspond to the market prices of the financial assets. Because of the short maturities of these instruments, the carrying value represents a reasonable basis to estimate fair values. This method does not apply to the financial instruments discussed in Notes 2 and 3 below.

If the financial assets/liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and the available-for-sale financial assets have quoted market prices in an active market, the quoted market prices are viewed as fair values. If the market prices of the available-for-sale financial assets are not readily available, valuation techniques are used incorporating estimates and assumptions that are consistent with prevailing market conditions.

Long-term investments are based on the net asset values of the investments in investees, if quoted market prices are not available.

Fair values of financial instruments were as follow:


	Amount Based on Quoted Market Price				Amount Determined Using Valuation Techniques

Beginning from September 1, 2009, the Company redefined its financial reporting operating segments into five operating segments: (a) domestic fixed communications business, (b) mobile communications business, (c) internet business, (d) international fixed communications business and (e) others. Prior to September 1, 2009, Chunghwa Telecom had seven operating segments: (a) local operations, (b) domestic long distance operations, (c) international long distance operations, (d) cellular service operations, (e) Internet and data operations, (f) cellular phone sales and (g) all others. The redefinition of the company’s operating segments is expected to facilitate the management’s ability to assess the performance of each operating segment by conforming the company’s operating segments to the international trends of other telecommunications companies in general. The Company also early adopted the Statement of Financial accounting Standards No. 41 “Operating Segments” (“SFAS No. 41” ) starting from September 1, 2009.

Consolidated Financial Statements for the

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and

Independent Accountants’ Review Report

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd.

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the nine months then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these consolidated financial statements based on our review.

Except for the matters described in the next paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with the Statement on of Auditing Standards No. 36, “Review of Financial Statements”, issued by the Auditing Committee of the Accounting Research and Development Foundation of the Republic of China. A review consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an audit opinion.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 of certain subsidiaries have not been reviewed. The total assets of these subsidiaries were 2.53% (NT$10,972,584 thousand) and 1.36% (NT$6,592,577 thousand), and the total liabilities of these subsidiaries were 4.57% (NT$2,567,970 thousand) and 1.68% (NT$1,589,659 thousand), of the related consolidated amounts as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The total revenues of these subsidiaries were 1.61% (NT$2,373,528 thousand) and 0.68% (NT$1,030,020 thousand) of the related consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively and their net losses were NT$322,787 thousand and NT$867,623 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Further, as discussed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 of certain equity method investees have not been reviewed. The aggregate carrying values of these equity method investees were NT$1,687,889 thousand and NT$1,942,367 thousand as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and the equity in earnings (losses) were NT$(30,742) thousand and NT$47,800 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

- 1 -

Based on our reviews, except for the effects of such adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had we reviewed financial statements of certain subsidiaries and equity method investees referred to in the preceding paragraph, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.

As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, on January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Interpretation 96-052 issued by the Accounting and Research Development Foundation of the Republic of China that requires companies to record bonuses paid to employees, directors and supervisors as an expense rather than an appropriation of earnings. The Company early adopted the new Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 41, “Operating Segments” (“SFAS No. 41”) beginning from September 1, 2009.

October 26, 2009

Notice to Readers

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are intended only to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdictions. The standards, procedures and practices to review such consolidated financial statements are those generally accepted and applied in the Republic of China.

For the convenience of readers, the accountants’ review report and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language accountants’ review report and consolidated financial statements shall prevail.

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and accounting principles generally accepted in the ROC (“ROC GAAP”). The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make reasonable estimates and assumptions on allowances for doubtful accounts, valuation allowances on inventories, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, impairment of assets, bonuses paid to employees, directors and supervisors, pension plans and income tax which are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant accounting policies are summarized as follows:

Principle of Consolidation

The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with the requirements of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 25, “Business Combinations” - the accounting treatment of purchase method when acquiring the information of its subsidiaries.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all directly and indirectly majority owned subsidiaries of Chunghwa, and the accounts of investees in which Chunghwa’s ownership percentage is less than 50% but over which Chunghwa has a controlling interest. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation.

The consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 include the accounts of Chunghwa, SENAO, CIYP, CHIEF, Unigate, CHIEF (HK), CIC, CHSI, Concord, GNSS (Shanghai), CHTG, DHT, SHE, LED, CHTS, CHTJ, IFE, CHI, CHPT, CIHC, New Prospect and Prime Asia. The consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 include the accounts of Chunghwa, SENAO, CIYP, CHIEF, Unigate, CHIEF (HK), CIC, CHSI, Concord, GNSS (Shanghai), CHTG, DHT, SHE, LED, CHTS, New Prospect and Prime Asia.

For foreign subsidiaries using their local currency as their functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date; stockholders’ equity accounts are translated into New Taiwan dollars at historical exchange rates and income statement accounts are translated into New Taiwan dollars at average exchange rates during the period.

The financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 for the following subsidiaries have not been reviewed: CIYP, CHIEF, Unigate, CHIEF (HK), CIC, CHSI, Concord, GNSS (Shanghai), GHTG, DHT, SHE, LED, CHTS, CHTJ, IFE, CHI, CHPT, CIHC New Prospect and Prime Asia, as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009; CIYP, CHIEF, Unigate, CHIEF (HK), CIC, CHSI, Concord, GNSS (Shanghai), CHTG, DHT, SHE, LED, CHTS, New Prospect and Prime Asia, as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The total assets of the above subsidiaries were 2.53% (NT$10,972,584 thousand) and 1.36% (NT$6,592,577 thousand), and the total liabilities of the above subsidiaries were 4.57% (NT$2,567,970 thousand) and 1.68% (NT$1,589,659 thousand), of the related consolidated amounts as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The aggregate total revenues for these subsidiaries were 1.61% (NT$2,373,528 thousand) and 0.68% (NT$1,030,020 thousand), respectively, of the related consolidated amounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and their net losses were NT$322,787 thousand and NT$867,623 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Classification of Current and Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities

- 13 -

As LED engages mainly in development of property for rent and sale, its operating cycle is over one year, and therefore the assets and liabilities over the operating cycle are classified as noncurrent items.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are commercial paper, bonds with maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Financial Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss

Financial instruments classified as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) include financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading and those designated as at FVTPL on initial recognition. The Company recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. A financial asset is derecognized when Chunghwa loses control of its contractual rights over the financial asset. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.

Available-for-sale Financial Assets

The recognition and derecognition of available-for-sale financial assets are similar to those of financial assets at FVTPL.

- 14 -

Held-to-maturity Financial Assets

Revenue Recognition, Account Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Receivables

Other revenues are recognized as follows: (a) one-time subscriber connection fees (on fixed-line services) are deferred and recognized over the average expected customer service periods, (b) monthly fees (on fixed-line services, wireless and Internet and data services) are accrued every month, and (c) prepaid services (fixed line, cellular and Internet) are recognized as income based upon actual usage by customers or when the right to use those services expires.

- 15 -

Inventories

Beginning from 2008, the Company classified certain land as land held for development within inventories. Prior to 2008, such land was classified as part of property, plant, and equipment. Such land is stated at the lower of cost or market value. Prepayments for licensing and other miscellaneous costs have been capitalized as part of inventory. Profit shall be recognized in full when the land is sold, provided (a) the profit is determinable, that is, the collectibility of the sales price is reasonably assured or the amount that will not be collectible can be estimated, and (b) the earnings process is virtually complete.

Investments Accounted for using Equity Method

Gains or losses on sales from the Company to equity method investees wherein Chunghwa does not have substantial control over these equity investees are deferred in proportion to the Company’s ownership percentage in the investees until such gains or losses are realized through transactions with third parties. Gains or losses on sales from equity method investees to Chunghwa are deferred in proportion to Chunghwa’s ownership percentages in the investees until they are realized through transactions with third parties.

Effective January 1, 2006, pursuant to the revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, the cost of an investment shall be analyzed and the difference between the cost of investment and the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired, representing goodwill, shall not be amortized and instead shall be tested for impairment annually. If the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the cost of investment, the excess shall be proportionately allocated as reductions to fair values of noncurrent assets except (a) financial assets other than investments accounted for using equity method, (b) assets to be disposed of by sale (c) deferred tax assets, and (d) prepaid assets relating to pension or other postretirement benefit plans. If any excess remains after reducing the aforementioned items, the remaining excess shall be recognized as an extraordinary gain.

When the Company subscribes for additional investees shares at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment in the investee differs from the amount of the Company share of the investee’s equity. The Company records such a difference as an adjustment to long-term investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to additional paid-in capital the extent available, with the balance charged to retained earnings.

- 16 -

Financial Assets Carried at Cost

Property, Plant and Equipment

An impairment loss on a revalued asset is charged to “unrealized revaluation increment” under equity to the extent available, with the balance is recognized as a loss. If the recoverable amount increases in a subsequent period, the amount previously recognized as impairment could be reversed and recognized as a gain, with the remaining credited to “unrealized revaluation increment”.

Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated service lives: land improvements - 10 to 30 years; buildings - 10 to 60 years; computer equipment - 3 to 10 years; telecommunication equipment - 5 to 30 years; transportation equipment - 5 to 10 years; and miscellaneous equipment - 2 to 12 years.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets mainly include 3G Concession, computer software, patents and goodwill.

The 3G license is valid through December 31, 2018. The 3G Concession fees is amortized on a straight-line basis from the date operations commence through the date the license expires. Computer software costs and patents are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 2-20 years.

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid for acquisition over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually. If an event occurs or circumstances change which indicates that the fair value of goodwill is more likely than not below its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. A subsequent reversal of such impairment loss is not allowed.

The Company adopted the newly released Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 37, “Intangible Assets.” Expenditure on research shall be expensed as incurred. Development Costs are capitalized when those costs meet relative criteria and are amortized using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives. Development costs that do not meet relative criteria shall be expensed as incurred.

- 17 -

Idle Assets

Idle assets are carried at the lower of recoverable amount or carrying amount.

Pension Costs

For defined benefit pension plans, net periodic pension benefit cost is recorded in the consolidated statement of income and includes service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of prior service costs, amortization of pension gains ( losses) and curtailment or settlement gains ( losses).

The projected benefit obligation represents the actuarial present value of benefits expected to be paid upon retirement based on estimated future compensation levels.

For employees under defined contribution pension plans, pension costs are recorded based on the actual contributions made to employees’ individual pension accounts during their service periods.

Expense Recognition

- 18 -

Treasury Stock

Treasury stock is recorded at cost and shown as a reduction to stockholders’ equity. Upon cancellation of treasury stock, the treasury stock account is reduced and the common stock as well as the capital surplus are reversed on a pro rata basis. If capital surplus is not sufficient for debiting purpose, the difference is charged to retained earnings.

Share-based Compensation

Employee stock options granted on or after January 1, 2008 are accounted for using fair value method in accordance with under SFAS No. 39, “Accounting for Share-based Payment.” The adoption of SFAS No. 39 did not have any impact on the Company.

Employee stock options granted between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2007 were accounted for under the interpretations issued by the Accounting Research and Development Foundation (the “ARDF”). The Company adopted the intrinsic value method, under which compensation cost was amortized over the vesting period.

Income Tax

Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.

Income taxes (10%) on undistributed earnings is recorded in the year of stockholders approval which is the year subsequent to the year the earnings are generated.

Foreign-currency Transactions

The financial statements of foreign equity investees are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the following exchange rates. Assets and liabilities - spot rates at period-end; stockholders’ equity - historical rates, income and expenses - average rates during the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

- 19 -

Hedge Accounting

The gain or loss from remeasuring the hedging instrument at fair value and the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings.

3.	EFFECT OF CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

The Company early adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 41 “Operating Segments” (“SFAS No. 41”) starting from September 1, 2009. This Statement supersedes the Statement of Financial accounting Standards No. 20 “Segment Reporting”. For comparative purpose, the segment information for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was presented in accordance with SFAS No. 41.

The Company adopted the newly-revised Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 10, “Accounting for Inventories,” (“SFAS No. 10”) beginning from January 1, 2009, which requires inventories to be stated at the lower of cost (weighted-average cost) or net realizable value item by item, except for those that may be appropriate to group items of similar or related inventories. The inventory-related incomes and expenses shall be classified as operating cost. The adoption of the revised SFAS No. 10 does not have significant impact on the Company’s consolidated net income and basic earnings per share (after income tax) for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The Company reclassified non-operating losses of $35,492 thousand to operating costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

In September 2007, Chunghwa entered into a 10-year, foreign currency derivative contract with Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (“Goldman”) and valuations are made biweekly starting from September 20, 2007 which are 260 valuation periods in total. Under the terms of the contract, if the NT dollar/US dollar exchange rate is less than NT$31.50 per US dollar at any two consecutive bi-weekly valuation dates during the valuation period starting from October 4, 2007 to September 5, 2017, Chunghwa was required to make a cash payment to Goldman. The settlement amount is determined by the difference between the applicable exchange rates and the base amount of US$4,000 thousand. Conversely, if the NT dollar/US dollar exchange rate was above NT$31.50 per US dollar using the same valuation methodology, Goldman would have a settlement obligation to Chunghwa determined using a base amount of US$2,000 thousand. Further, if the exchange rate is at or above NT$32.70 per US dollar starting from December 12, 2007 at any time, the contract will be terminated at that time. In accordance with the terms of the contract, Chunghwa deposited US$3,000 thousand with Goldman (included in “other current assets”) with annual yield rate of 8%. On October 21, 2008, the exchange rate was above NT$32.70 per US dollar, so the contract was terminated at that time.

Net gain arising from financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $64,677 thousand (including realized settlement loss of $50,720 thousand and valuation gain of $115,397 thousand) and net loss arising from financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $344,473 thousand (including realized settlement gain of $423,852 thousand and valuation loss of $768,325 thousand.

A portion of the land used by Chunghwa during the period July 1, 1996 to September 30, 2004 was co-owned by Chunghwa and Taiwan Post Co., Ltd. (the former Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd. directorate General of Postal Service). In accordance with the claims process in Taiwan, on July 12, 2005, the Taiwan Taipei District Court sent a claim notice to Chunghwa to reimburse Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd. in the amount of $767,852 thousand for land usage compensation due to the portion of land usage area in excess of Chunghwa’s ownership and along with interest calculated at 5% interest rate from June 30, 2005 to the payment date. Chunghwa stated that both parties have the right to use co-management land without consideration. Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd. can’t request payment for land compensation. Furthermore, Chunghwa believes that the computation used to derive the land usage compensation amount is inaccurate because most of the compensation amount has expired as result of the expiration clause. Therefore, Chunghwa filed an appeal at the Taiwan Taipei District Court. On March 30, 2009, the Taiwan Taipei District Court rendered its judgment that Chunghwa only need to pay $16,870 thousand along with interest calculated at 5% per annum from July 23, 2005 and 4% of the court fees as the court judgment compensation. Chunghwa had filed an appeal at the Taiwan High Court within the statutory period. As of the date of the review report, the appeal is still in process.

Giga Media filed a civil action against Chunghwa with the Taiwan Taipei District Court (the “Court”) on June 12, 2008. The complaint alleged that Chunghwa infringed Giga Media’s R.O.C. Patent No. I258284 which is a Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (“PPPoE”) technique used to launch fixed IP of ADSL. Giga Media is seeking damages of NT$500,000 thousand and interest calculated at 5% for the period from one day following the date Chunghwa received the official notification from the Court to the payment date. Giga Media withdrew this civil action on October 2, 2009.

(Concluded)

Methods and assumptions used in the estimation of fair values of financial instruments:

Long-term investments are based on the net asset values of the investments in unconsolidated companies if quoted market prices are not available.

The fair value of long-term loans (including current portion) is discounted based on projected cash flow. The projected cash flows were discounted using the interest rate of similar long-term loans.

Information about financial risks

Market risk

The foreign exchange rate fluctuations would result in the Company’s foreign-currency-dominated assets and liabilities, outstanding currency swap contracts, forward exchange contracts and currency option contracts exposed to rate risk.

The fluctuations of market price would result in the index future contracts exposed to price risk.

The financial instruments categorized as available-for-sale financial assets are mainly listed stocks and open-end mutual funds. Therefore, the market risk is the fluctuations of market price. In order to manage this risk, the Company would assess the risk before investing therefore, no material market risk are anticipated.

Credit risk

Credit risk represents the potential loss that would be incurred by the Company if the counter-parties or third-parties breached contracts. Financial instruments with positive fair values at the balance sheet date are evaluated for credit risk. The counter-parties or third-parties of the aforementioned financial instruments are reputable financial institutions and corporations. Management does not expect the Company’s exposure to default by those parties to be material.

Liquidation risk

The Company has sufficient operating capital to meet cash needs upon settlement of derivative financial instruments. Therefore, the cash flow risk is low.

Cash flow interest rate risk

Chunghwa engages in investments in fixed-interest-rate debt securities. Therefore, cash flows from such securities are not expected to fluctuate significantly due to changes in market interest rates.

- 46 -

In addition, the Company engages in investments in floating-interest-rate debt securities. The changes in market interest rate would impact the floating-interest rate; therefore, cash flows from such securities are expected to fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.

Fair value hedge

Chunghwa entered into currency swap contracts and forward exchange contracts to hedge the fluctuation in exchange rates of beneficiary certificates denominated in foreign currency, which is fair value hedge. The transaction was assessed as highly effective for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

None of the hedge currency swap contracts and forward exchange contracts existed as of September 30, 2009.

The outstanding forward exchange contracts for hedge as of September 30, 2008:

As of September 30, 2008, the forward exchange contract measured at fair value resulting in hedging derivative financial liability of $6,460 thousand (classified as other current liabilities).

Note 1:		The major business segments operated by the Company are domestic fixed communications business, mobile communications business, internet business, international fixed communications business, and other service.

Note 2:		Inter-division revenues from goods and services.

Note 3:		Represents revenues minus costs and operating expenses. Operating expenses include costs and expenses directly pertaining to an industry segment, i.e., excluding general expense, interest expense and other expense.

Note 4:		Represents tangible assets used by the industry segment, excluding:

		a. Assets maintained for general corporate purposes. b. Advances or loans to another industry segment. c. Long-term investments accounted for using equity method.

Note 5:		Beginning from September 1, 2009, the Company redefined its financial reporting operating segments into five operating segments: (a) domestic fixed communications business, (b) mobile communications business, (c) internet business, (d) international fixed communications business and (e) others. Prior to September 1,2009, Chunghwa Telecom had seven operating segments: (a) local operations, (b) domestic long distance operations, (c) international long distance operations, (d) cellular service operations, (e) Internet and data operations, (f) cellular phone sales and (g) all others. The redefinition of the company’s operating segments is expected to facilitate the management’s ability to assess the performance of each operating segment by conforming the company’s operating segments to the international trends of other telecommunications companies in general. The Company also early adopted the Statement of Financial accounting Standards No. 41 “Operating Segments” (“SFAS No. 41”) starting from September 1, 2009. For the comparative purpose, the segments information for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was presented in accordance with SFAS No. 41.

Cash Flows Differences

The Company applies R.O.C. SFAS No. 17, “Statement of Cash Flows”. Its objectives and principles are similar to those set out in U.S. standards. The principal differences between the two standards relate to classification. Cash flows from investing activities for changes in other assets, and cash flows from financing activities for changes in customer deposits, other liabilities and cash bonuses paid to employees, directors and supervisors are reclassified to operating activities under U.S. standards. The effect of change on consolidated subsidiaries is presented as a separate line item of the reconciliation of the change in cash and cash equivalents under ROC GAAP whereas it is classified under investing activities under U.S. standards.

Note 1:

In August 2007, the ARDF issued ROC SFAS No. 39, “Accounting for Share-based Payment”, which require companies to record share-based payment transactions granted on or after January 1, 2008 using fair value method. There is no impact of the adoption this statement since the Company did not grant options on or after January 1, 2008.

Note 2:

Prior to the adoption of the new guidance for noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements issued by FASB in December 2007, the noncontrolling interests in the income of subsidiaries is deducted in arriving at net income. Upon the adoption of the new guidance beginning from January 1, 2009, the noncontrolling interests forms part of net income. In addition, prior to the adoption of the new guidance, the noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries is classified as mezzanine equity. Upon the adoption of the new guidance beginning from January 1, 2009, the non-controlling interest in subsidiaries is classified as a separate component of shareholders’ equity and the presentation and disclosure requirements of the new guidance are applied retrospectively for all periods presented. Therefore, from January 1, 2009, there are no differences in presentation for non-controlling interest (or minority interest as referred to under ROC GAAP) between ROC GAAP and US GAAP.

Note 3:

The adjustment to Net Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and to Stockholders’ Equity as of September 30, 2009 represents a difference between ROC GAAP and US GAAP for the accounting for business combinations. Under ROC GAAP, the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree is measured at historical cost whereas under US GAAP, the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree is measured at fair value at acquisition date upon the adoption of the new accounting standard discussed in Note 2 beginning from January 1, 2009. Such adjustment for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 was caused by the Company’s acquisitions of IFE in January 2009 and of CHI in September 2009. The adjustment to ROC GAAP net income represents additional amortization expense recognized under US GAAP due to the difference between the measurement of noncontrolling interests at historical cost and fair value. The adjustment to stockholders’ equity represents the difference for the measurement of noncontrolling interests at historical cost and fair value after the aforementioned net income adjustment.

Note 4:

There are significant differences in the classification of items on the statements of income under ROC GAAP and US GAAP. These include:

(1)

Incentives paid to third party dealers for inducing business:

•

Under ROC GAAP: Such account is included in operating expenses.

•

Under US GAAP: Such account is included in cost of revenues.

(2)

Gains (losses) on disposal of property, plant and equipment and other assets:

•

Under ROC GAAP: Such account is included in non-operating income (expenses).

•

Under US GAAP: Such account is included in cost of revenues.

(3)

Losses arising from natural calamities:

•

Under ROC GAAP: Such account is included in non-operating income (expenses).

•

Under US GAAP: Such account is included in cost of revenues.

2.	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”). The Codification has become the single source for all authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied for financial statements issued for periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company applied the Codification to its Quarterly Report for the period ending September 30, 2009. The Codification does not change GAAP and the Company believed that it did not have an effect on its financial position or results of operations.

In December 2008, the FASB issued accounting standards relating to the disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans, which provides guidance on an employer’s disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. The new accounting standards are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the new accounting standards.

In June 2009, the FASB issued accounting standards relating to the disclosure requirements for transfers of financial assets. This accounting standard is intended to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about transfers of financial assets. This accounting standard is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the standards.

In June 2009, the FASB issued the accounting standards to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities (VIE). This accounting standard clarified that the determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. This accounting standard is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the standards.

In August 2009, the FASB issued an Accounting Standard Update relating to fair value measurements and disclosures with regards to measuring liabilities at fair value. The update provides clarification for circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available. The update is effective for the first reporting period beginning after August 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the update.

In September 2009, the FASB issued an Accounting Standard Update relating to revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables which established the accounting and reporting guidance for arrangements under which the vendor will perform multiple revenue-generating activities. Specifically, the update addresses how to separate deliverables and how to measure and allocate arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the update.
