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.
