Except for statements in
respect of historical matters, the statements in this release contain
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of
the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements involve known
and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause
the actual performance, financial condition or results of operations
of UMC to be materially different from what is stated or may be
implied in such forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned
that actual events and results could differ materially from those
statements as a result of a number of factors, including, among
other things: our dependence upon the frequent introduction of new
services and technologies based on the latest developments in our
industry; the intensely competitive semiconductor, communications,
consumer electronics and computer industries and markets; the risks
associated with international global business activities; our dependence
upon key personnel; general economic and political conditions, including
those related to the semiconductor, communications, consumer electronics
and computer industries; possible disruptions in commercial activities
caused by natural and human-induced events and disasters, including
terrorist activity, armed conflict and highly contagious diseases;
reduced end-user purchases relative to expectations and orders;
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; and those risks
identified in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in UMC's Annual
Report on Form 20-F ("20-F") for the year ended December 31, 2007
filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 2,
2008.
The financial statements included in this release are unaudited
and unconsolidated, and prepared and published in accordance with
ROC GAAP. Investors are cautioned that there are many differences
between ROC GAAP and US GAAP, as described in note 35 to the financial
statements on 20-F.
The forward-looking statements in this release reflect the current
belief of UMC as of the date of this release and UMC undertakes
no obligation to update these forward-looking statements for events
or circumstances that occur after such date or to reflect the occurrence
of unanticipated events.
