overcapacity, reduced product demand, rapid erosion of average selling prices and fluctuations in end-user demand. Historically, companies in the semiconductor industry have expanded aggressively during periods of increased demand in order to
generate the capacity needed to meet expected demand in the future. If actual demand does not increase or declines, or if companies in the industry expand too aggressively in light of the actual increase in demand, the industry will generally
experience a period in which industry-wide capacity exceeds demand. For this reason, periods of overcapacity in the semiconductor industry have historically followed periods of increased demand. </FONT></P> <P

capacity utilization rate decreased from 100% in 2000 to 47% in 2001, due to rapidly deteriorating demand for our products and services, mainly from our customers in the communication sector, but increased to 65% in 2002 as a result of a rising
demand from the consumer electronics and wireless communication businesses. We believe that our operating results in 2001 and 2002 reflect the continued uncertainty in the global economy, conservative corporate information technology spending and
low visibility with respect to end market demand. In addition, our average selling price declined approximately 7% between 2001 and 2002, mainly due to the substantial pricing pressure. Future downturns in the semiconductor industry may be severe

continue to cause, severe damages to trade and tourism industries as well as on the economies and financial markets of the affected countries, including Taiwan. So far the SARS outbreak has not caused a negative significance on our manufacturing
yields or sales volume. However, its effect for our future results remains uncertain. In addition, any economic downturn as a result of the SARS outbreak may have an adverse effect on consumer confidence, and may in turn result in a decrease in the
demand for our products and services. Recognizing the growing concern regarding the outbreak of SARS and the possible effect it may have on our business, we have taken several proactive steps to bring this risk to a minimum extent. For example, we
are currently prohibiting business related travel by our employees to SARS infected areas outside of Taiwan. We plan to implement additional measures if SARS does not cease or continues to spread in the future. If any of our employees is suspected
to have contracted SARS, we may under certain circumstances be required to quarantine such employee and the affected areas of our premises. As a result, we may have to temporarily suspend part of or all of our operations. </FONT></P> <P

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our customers generally use the semiconductors produced in our fabs in a wide variety of applications. We derive a significant percentage of our operating revenues from customers who use our manufacturing services to
make semiconductors for communication applications, consumer electronics and personal computers. Our products for communication, consumer electronics, computer, memory and other applications generated 31.3%, 30.8%, 27.3%, 8.9% and 1.7%,
respectively, of our net operating revenues in 2002. The communication applications and personal computer markets have experienced a sudden and substantial market downturn and inventory correction since late 2000. This downturn resulted in a reduced
demand for our services, hence lower revenues and incurrence of losses. Any significant decrease in the demand for communication applications or personal computers may further decrease the demand for our services. In addition, if the average selling
prices of communication applications or personal computers decline significantly, we will be pressured to further reduce our selling prices, which may reduce our revenues and therefore reduce our margins significantly. As demonstrated by the
downturn since late 2000 in demand for high technology products, market conditions can change rapidly, without apparent warning or advance notice. In such instances, our customers will experience inventory buildup and/or difficulties in selling
their products, and in turn, will reduce or cancel orders for wafers from us. While these downturns are to be expected in the semiconductor business, their timing, severity and recovery cannot be predicted accurately or at all in advance. When they
occur, our business, profitability and price of the shares and ADSs are likely to suffer. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

(Shanghai) Corporation and Grace Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp. have initiated efforts to develop substantial new foundry capacity. New entrants in the foundry business are likely to initiate a trend of competitive pricing and create potential
overcapacity in legacy technology. Some of our competitors have greater access to capital and substantially greater production, research and development, marketing and other resources than we do. As a result, these companies may be able to compete
more aggressively over a longer period of time than we can. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

agreement with EDB Investments Pte Ltd and Infineon, relating to the formation of UMCi Pte Ltd, a joint venture in Singapore to construct and operate a 12-inch wafer fab in Singapore&#146;s Pasir Ris Wafer Fab Park. The facilities of UMCi are
expected to employ advanced process technologies, ranging from 0.13 micron to 65-nanometer. Under the terms of the foundry venture agreement, we expect to invest up to US$630 million in UMCi. UMCi began to install equipment in January 2003, and
plans to start pilot production by the end of 2003 for the interconnect copper layers of line qualification. Due to the sluggish economy during the past two years, the progress on the construction and capacity expansion of UMCi fab is currently
behind the original schedule. We have not guaranteed to pay any amounts owed by UMCi to any institution extending the external financing and do not plan to do so in the future. As of March 31, 2003, we had invested US$161 million in UMCi and held a
49.74% equity interest in UMCi. In addition, through a voting rights and proxies agreement with Infineon and UMCi, we have voting control over an additional 15% of the ordinary shares of UMCi. Currently, our directors Robert H.C. Tsao, John Hsuan,

STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We have not previously had any commercial manufacturing operations in Singapore. Doing business in Singapore involves risks related to infrastructure,
changes in local laws and economic and political conditions. We have chosen to locate our planned fabs in Singapore in part to take advantage of economic incentives provided under the laws and policies of Singapore. Changes in these or other laws or
policies or in the political or economic conditions in Singapore or the surrounding region could have an adverse effect on UMCi&#146;s business. In addition, due to the high cost of constructing and purchasing equipment for this new fab in
Singapore, we expect that our operations in Singapore could incur significant cash outflows over the next few years. Once a fab is in operation at acceptable capacity and yield rates, it can provide significant cash inflows. However, prior to such
time, it may incur significant losses due largely to significant depreciation and amortization expenses, which are not expected to be offset by a significant amount of revenues prior to the completion of the ramp up process. If UMCi fails to achieve
sufficient volumes of production at or above acceptable yield rates, if we fail to transfer and ramp up our technology in a timely manner, or if costs exceed expectations, our equity interest in UMCi could result in substantial investment losses
which may negatively affect our income or loss. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

The trading price of our ADSs may be affected by the trading price of our shares on the Taiwan Stock Exchange and the economic performance of Taiwan. The Taiwan Stock Exchange is smaller and, as a market, more volatile than the securities markets in
the United States and a number of European countries. The Taiwan Stock Exchange has experienced substantial fluctuations in the prices and volumes of sales of listed securities, and there are currently limits on the range of daily price movements on
the Taiwan Stock Exchange. In the past decade, the Taiwan Stock Exchange Index peaked at 10,393.59 in February 2000 and subsequently fell to a low of 3,411.68 in September 2001. On March 13, 2000, the Taiwan Stock Exchange Index experienced a
618-point drop, which represented the single largest decrease in the Taiwan Stock Exchange Index in its history. During 2002, the Taiwan Stock Exchange Index peaked at 6,484.93 on April 22, 2002, and reached a low of 3,845.76 on October 11, 2002. On
May 15, 2003, the Taiwan Stock Exchange Index closed at 4,331.24, and the daily closing value of our shares was NT$20.9 per share. The Taiwan Stock Exchange is particularly volatile during times of political instability, such as when relations
between Taiwan and the People&#146;s Republic of China are strained. Moreover, the Taiwan Stock Exchange has experienced problems such as market manipulation, insider trading and payment defaults, and the government of Taiwan has from time to time
intervened in the stock market by purchasing stocks listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. The recurrence of these or similar problems could decrease the market price and liquidity of the shares and ADSs. </FONT></P> <P

business is the manufacture, or &#147;fabrication,&#148; of semiconductors, sometimes called &#147;chips&#148; or &#147;integrated circuits,&#148; for others. Using our own proprietary processes and techniques, we make chips to the design
specifications of our many customers. Our company maintains a diversified customer base across industries, including communication, consumer electronics, computer and memory, while continuing to focus on manufacturing for high growth, large volume
applications, including networking, telecommunications, Internet, multimedia, personal computers and graphics. We generate a significant amount of our operating revenues from customers who are in the communication, consumer electronics and computer
industries. We also manufacture several semiconductor memory products based on our customers&#146; specifications. Our products for communication, consumer electronics, computer, memory and other applications generated 31.3%, 30.8%, 27.3%, 8.9% and
1.7%, respectively, of our net operating revenues for 2002. We focus on the development of leading mass-producible manufacturing process technologies. We were among the first in the foundry industry to go into commercial operation with such advanced
capabilities as producing integrated circuits with line widths of 0.25, 0.18 and 0.15 micron. Moreover, we have developed our own 0.13 micron and 90-nanometer process technologies with both fluoridated silicon glass, or FSG, and low-k dielectric
insulation as well as copper metal wiring layers. Our 0.18 micron and below technologies have contributed to approximately 26.7% of our total net operating revenues in 2002, compared to 18% in 2001. We believe such technologies will better serve the
needs of advanced customer chip designs with high performance and low power consumption. We set up a special development team in early 2002 with the primary focus on the 65-nanometer technology. In addition, our other development teams have been
developing technologies including silicon on insulator, or SOI, strained silicon devices and advanced modules such as high-k dielectric insulator, raised source and drain and advanced optical proximity correction, or OPC. We believe our superior
process technologies enable us to offer our customers significant performance, lead time, cost and other competitive advantages. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

changing customer and industry needs. As a result, our cycle times, or the period from customer order to wafer delivery, and our responsiveness to customer request changes are among the fastest in the dedicated foundry industry. Our design service
team actively cooperates with the customers and vendors of libraries, cells and intellectual property offerings to identify early in the product cycle the offerings needed by our customers and to ensure that these coordinated offerings are available

functions&#151;manufacturing as well as design, development, sales and distribution. System companies design and develop integrated circuits to be components within their end or intermediate products and generally do not maintain internal
manufacturing capacity. For example, system companies market and sell cellular telephones and/or Internet appliances into which they incorporate semiconductor products. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

mass-producible semiconductor manufacturing technologies is critical to attracting and retaining customers. Our reputation for technological excellence has attracted both established and emerging leaders in the semiconductor and system industries
who work closely with us on technology development. In addition, we believe our superior processing expertise has enabled us to provide flexible production schedules to meet our customers&#146; particular needs. We plan to continue to build internal
research and development expertise, to focus on process development and to establish alliances with leading semiconductor companies to accelerate access to next generation technologies. We pioneered the use of copper interconnect metallurgies for
the dedicated foundry industry. These copper interconnect metallurgies allow higher conductivity and lower power consumption than traditional aluminum interconnects. In 2002, we began volume production using our advanced 0.13 micron copper
technology. Our extensive experience in the 0.13 micron process technology has helped smooth our transition to 90-nanometer pilot production. Many of the materials and techniques, including copper interconnects and low-k dielectric materials, that
were first used in connection with the 0.13 micron technology also apply to the 90-nanometer node. Our 90-nanometer process marks further advance in our technology achievements, incorporating up to 9 copper metal layers, triple gate oxide and other
advanced features. We believe our progress in the development of 90-nanometer manufacturing technology will benefit our customers in the fields of computer, communication, consumer electronics and others with special preferences in certain aspects
of the products, such as the ultimate performance, density and power consumption. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We also recognize every company has limited resources and that the foundry industry is ever-evolving. Accordingly, we believe we should invest in new research and development technology intelligently and in a
cost-effective manner to achieve the ultimate output of the resulting technology. In doing so, we balance (i) the rate of return of our research and development and (ii) the importance of developing a technology at the right time to enhance our
competitive edge without unduly diluting our profitability. We intend to avoid investments in technologies that do not present a commercial potential for immediate mass production. We believe that to develop the earliest and most advanced
semiconductor technology without regard to its potential for near term mass production may prove costly to our operations, while in the meantime, not strengthening our competitive position. We perceive a benefit to defer investment in the premature
equipment needed to claim the earliest advanced technology and instead to purchase a more advanced and less expensive version of equipment from vendors who design such equipment based on pre-production lessons learned from the earliest technology.

Customer Requirements, with a Focus on 12-inch Wafer Facilities for Future Expansion.</I></B> We believe that maintaining our foundry capacity with advanced technology and facilities is critical to the maintenance of our industry leadership. Our
production capacity is currently among the largest of all semiconductor foundries in the world. We intend to increase our 12-inch wafer production capacity to meet the needs of our customers and to fully capitalize on the expected growth of our
industry. Our future capacity expansion plans will focus on 12-inch wafer facilities in order to maintain our technology leadership. 12-inch wafers offer manufacturing advantages over 8-inch wafers because of the greater number of chips on each
wafer. In addition, 12-inch wafer facilities present a more cost-effective solution in achieving an economic scale of production. We intend to carefully monitor current market conditions in order to optimize the timing of our capital spending. In
2002, we began volume production at Fab 12A, in Tainan, Taiwan. In addition, we have begun installing equipment into our UMCi fab, a 12-inch fab joint venture with EDB Investments and Infineon. Our Fab 12A is expected to employ advanced 0.18 micron
to 90-nanometer process technologies, while the UMCi fab is expected to employ advanced 0.13 micron to 65-nanometer process technology. Although we currently do not have any investments in the People&#146;s Republic of China, we are currently
evaluating opportunities to expand our wafer fabrication business into the People&#146;s Republic of China. Our initial budget for purchases of semiconductor manufacturing equipment for 2003 is approximately US$500 million. Our efforts in increasing
our production capacity raised our total production capacity from approximately 175,000 8-inch wafer equivalents per month in December 1999 to approximately 257,000 8-inch wafer equivalents per month in December 2002. Our annual total production
capacity reached 2,978,000 8-inch wafer equivalents in 2002. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

the materials and techniques, including copper interconnects and low-k dielectric materials, that were first used in connection with the 0.13 micron process technology also apply to the 90-nanometer node. Our 90-nanometer process marks further

Industrial Park in Taiwan, and Fab 12A, which is located in the Tainan Science-Based Industrial Park in Taiwan. Fab 8AB consists of two modules, formerly named as Fab 8A and Fab 8B, respectively. We also have a controlling interest in UMCJ, which
owns one 8-inch fab in Japan. In early 2002, our previously named Fab 8D was combined with our research and development division. Therefore, we now also refer to such fab as Central R&amp;D Fab, or CRD Fab. Fab 6A commenced production in 1989 and
Fab 8A (currently part of Fab 8AB) commenced production in 1995. In 1995, we established three foundry ventures with 11 leading fabless design companies, including Xilinx, Trident and Alliance, to establish state-of-the-art 8-inch fabs. We owned an
approximately 40% equity interest in each of these foundry ventures. Assisted by capital contributions made by our partners, we were able to expand our capacity quickly while reducing our capital risk. Three of our fabs, a fab formerly named Fab 8B
(currently part of Fab 8AB), Fab 8C and Fab 8D, were established under these foundry ventures and began commercial production in 1996, 1998 and 2000, respectively. The commencement of commercial operations of Fab 8D was delayed because of a fire in
1997 that substantially damaged the fab. In 1998, we obtained management control over UTEK Semiconductor, a publicly listed company in Taiwan, which operated an 8-inch fab that was later renamed Fab 8E, to further increase our capacity. Our capacity
increased further in the first quarter of 1999 when we acquired an approximate 52.3% in equity interest and management control of UMCJ. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

have any plan to expand our 8-inch capacity, we may from time to time evaluate all expansion opportunities that we believe will benefit our shareholders, including acquisition of other company&#146;s existing facilities, potentially including 8-inch
equipment and/or an 8-inch fab. In the fourth quarter of 2000, we completed construction of Fab 12A, a 12-inch fab in Tainan, Taiwan. We began volume production of 12-inch wafers at Fab 12A in 2002. Fab 12A currently has a capacity of 8,000 12-inch
wafers per month, equivalent to 18,000 8-inch wafers per month. In addition, we entered into a foundry venture agreement with EDB Investments and Infineon to form UMCi to construct and operate a 12-inch fab in Singapore&#146;s Pasir Ris Wafer Fab
Park. The facilities of UMCi are expected to employ advanced process technologies, ranging from 0.13 micron to 65-nanometer. UMCi began to install equipment in January 2003, and plans to start pilot production by the end of 2003 for the interconnect
copper layers of line qualification. When completed for commercial production, we expect that this fab will have a production capacity of 40,000 12-inch wafers per month. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

shortage of raw materials that had a material effect on our operations, and supplies of raw materials we use currently are adequate, shortages could occur in various critical materials due to interruption of supply or an increase in industry demand.

amounts of dual loop electricity supplied by Taiwan Power Corporation and Hsin Yu Energy Development Corporation in the manufacturing process. We maintain back-up generators that are capable of providing adequate amounts of electricity to maintain
the required air pressure in our clean rooms in case of power interruptions. In the meantime, we have chosen the more reliable uninterruptable power supply, or UPS, to cover power deficiency. During the past several years, we believe these new

Judge found there was no infringement by us, and in September 1999, the US International Trade Commission affirmed this finding. Oak Technology appealed the US International Trade Commission&#146;s order on non-infringement to the Court of Appeals
for the Federal Circuit, which then unanimously affirmed the US International Trade Commission&#146;s order in May 2001. Based on the Federal Circuit&#146;s opinion and on a covenant not to sue filed by Oak, the declaratory judgment patent
counterclaims were dismissed from the district court case. However, Oak also seeks damages in excess of US$750 million on its breach of contract and other claims. Although we believe that Oak&#146;s claims are without merit, we intend to vigorously
defend the suit and pursue our counterclaims. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Risk Management

projects. In 2002, we achieved a number of risk management goals. Firstly, in order to minimize the business interruption risk, we established and maintained comprehensive and integrated business continuity management protocols, covering aspects
such as emergency response, crisis management and disaster recovery program. Secondly, we have implemented a new chemical and process risk evaluation procedure to ensure that all potential hazards with respect to new chemicals or processes are
eliminated or mitigated. For similar purposes, we have also established a SEMI S2 evaluation procedure in connection with critical process tools and supporting equipment in all our fabs. Furthermore, we completed a special risk management project
with regard to sprinkler replacement in two of our fabs, with the help from the voluntary replacement program provided by Central Sprinkler Company. Finally, in order to reduce potential losses during a power outage, we have built our own emergency
power supply system with the capacity to serve more than 60% of our production capacity. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

1999 on a combined basis to approximately 257,000 8-inch wafer equivalents in December 2002 on an actual basis. Our annual total production capacity reached 2,978,000 8-inch wafer equivalents in 2002. As a result of this increase in capacity, we
have benefited from larger economies of scale. The larger economies of scale when capacity utilization rate is high have better enabled us to reduce our per unit production cost, which improves margins. However, when capacity utilization rate is

significantly over this period. It can take several years to plan and construct a fab and bring it to operations. Therefore, during periods of favorable market conditions, semiconductor manufacturers often begin building new fabs in response to
anticipated demand growth for semiconductors. In addition, after commencement of commercial operations, fabs can increase production volumes rapidly. As a result, large amounts of semiconductor manufacturing capacity typically become available
during the same time period. Absent a proportional growth in demand, this increase in supply often results in semiconductor manufacturing overcapacity, which has led to sharp drops in semiconductor prices and significant capacity underutilization.

experienced substantial growth, our average selling price of semiconductor wafers and devices during that period increased. In connection with this increase in demand and selling price, several semiconductor manufacturers, including our company,
announced plans to significantly expand production capacities. However, the semiconductor industry has experienced a downturn since late 2000, which resulted in overcapacity, excess inventory and reduced demand. Such industry downturn had
substantially slowed down those expansion plans. Our capacity utilization rate, which was 100% in 2000, decreased to 47% in 2001, due to rapidly deteriorating demand, mainly from our customers in the communication sector. As the worldwide
semiconductor industry began to stabilize, our capacity utilization rate increased to 65% in 2002 due to increased demand from the consumer electronics and wireless communication businesses. We believe that our results in 2001 and 2002 reflect the
ongoing uncertainty in the global economy, conservative corporate information technology spending and low visibility with respect to end market demand. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

and 85.8%, respectively, of our manufacturing costs mainly consisted of depreciation, indirect material costs, amortization of license fees and indirect labor costs. If we increase our utilization rates, our costs would be allocated over a larger
number of units, which generally leads to lower unit costs. As a result, our capacity utilization rates can significantly affect our margins. Our utilization rates have varied from period to period to reflect our production capacity and market
demand. The utilization rate of our operations was 100%, 47% and 65% in 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively. The utilization rate decline in 2001 was due to rapidly deteriorating demand, mainly from our customers in the communication sector. The
increase in our utilization rate in 2002 was due to the slight upturn of the semiconductor industry in response to an increase in output of the consumer electronics and wireless communication industries. Utilization rates can also be affected by
efficiency in production facility and product flow management. Other factors affecting utilization rates are the complexity and mix of the wafers produced, overall industry conditions, the level of customer orders, mechanical failure, disruption of
operations due to expansion of operations, relocation of equipment or disruption of power supply and fire or natural disaster. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

processed with different technologies varies significantly, the mix of wafers that we produce is among the primary factors that affect our revenues and profitability. The value of a wafer is determined principally by the complexity of the processing
technology used to produce the wafer. Production of devices with higher levels of functionality and greater system-level integration requires more manufacturing steps and generally commands higher wafer prices. The increase in price generally has
more than offset associated increases in production cost once an appropriate economy of scale is reached. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

migrating to increasingly sophisticated technologies to maintain the same level of profitability. For instance, we are among the first foundries to produce chips using 0.13 micron technology. In addition, we and Infineon are jointly developing
90-nanometer copper interconnect process technologies in 2003. These types of technology migration require continuous capital and research and development investment. Because developing and acquiring advanced technologies involve substantial capital
investment, we expect to continue to spend a substantial amount of capital on upgrading our technologies. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

SIZE="2">Manufacturing yield per wafer is measured by the number of functional dice on that wafer over the maximum number of dice that can be produced on that wafer. A small portion of our products is priced on a per die basis, and our high
manufacturing yields have assisted us in achieving higher margins. In addition, with respect to products that are priced on a per wafer basis, we believe that our ability to deliver high manufacturing yields generally has allowed us to either charge
higher prices per wafer or attract higher order volumes, resulting in higher margins. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

historical records wherever available such as past dividend yields and historical volatility. Since this is our first issue of employee stock options, we do not have actual experience when employees could be expected to exercise their options. As
such, we use mid-points for the estimation of expected life of options. As discussed above, different assessments of the input assumptions may lead to different fair value estimates, which in turn may affect our pro forma net income disclosed as

to purchase 8-inch and 12-inch wafer processing equipment and other equipment for research and development purposes. Our initial budget for purchases of semiconductor manufacturing equipment for 2003 is approximately US$500 million on an

investments, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements at least through the end of 2003. We also expect to fund a portion of our capital requirements in 2003 through the cash provided by operating
activities. Due to rapid changes in technology in the semiconductor industry, however, we have frequent demand for investment in new manufacturing technologies. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise additional capital, should that
become necessary, on terms acceptable to us or at all. If financing is not available on terms acceptable to us, management intends to reduce expenditures so as to delay the need for additional financing. To the extent that we do not generate
sufficient cash flows from our operations to meet our cash requirements, we may rely on external borrowings and securities offerings to finance our working capital needs or our future expansion plans. The sale of additional equity or equity-linked
securities may result in additional dilution to our shareholders. Our ability to meet our working capital needs from cash flow from operations will be affected by the demand for our products and change in our product mix, which in turn may be
adversely affected by several factors. Many of these factors are outside of our control, such as economic downturns and declines in the average selling prices of our products. The average selling prices of our products have been subjected to
downward pressure in the past and are reasonably likely to be subject to further downward pressure in the future. We have not historically relied, and we do not plan to rely in the foreseeable future, on off-balance sheet financing arrangements to
finance our operations or expansion. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Transactions with Related Parties

net income to employee bonuses. See &#147;Item 10. Additional Information&#151;B. Memorandum and Articles of Association&#151;Dividends and Distributions&#148; elsewhere in this annual report. We paid employee bonuses in 2000, 2001 and 2002 in the
form of shares and expect to pay employee bonuses in future periods in the form of shares. The number of shares distributed as part of employee bonuses is obtained by dividing the total nominal, NT dollar amount of the bonus to be paid in the form
of shares by the par value of the shares, or NT$10 per share, rather than their market value, which has generally been substantially higher than par value. Under ROC GAAP, the distribution of employee bonus shares is treated as an allocation from
retained earnings, and we are not required to, and do not, charge the value of the employee bonus shares to income. Under US GAAP, however, we are required to charge the market value of the employee bonus shares to compensation expense in the period
to which they relate, correspondingly reducing our net income and earnings per share calculated in accordance with US GAAP. Under US GAAP, the compensation expense is initially accrued when services are rendered and both the number of shares to be
issued and the price per share are known. Since the actual amount of the compensation is subject to shareholders&#146; approval and only determinable at the annual shareholders&#146; meeting, which is generally held after the issuance of our
financial statements, we will make the accrual in accordance with the number of shares to be issued </FONT>

year, which normally occurs during the second fiscal quarter, an additional compensation expense is recorded for the difference between the amount initially accrued and the fair market value of the shares actually granted to employees. In addition,
since such adjustment for compensation expense for the purpose of US GAAP reconciliation is made in the second quarter of each fiscal year and the major amount of the adjustment is charged to the results for this quarter, the adjustment has a
disproportionate impact on the results for the second quarter under US GAAP. Therefore, quarterly net income and income per share amounts calculated in accordance with US GAAP tend to be understated on an annualized basis for the second quarter and
overstated for the other quarters. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The amounts charged to

respectively, representing an aggregate of 399 million shares. Compensation expense accrued, before allocation to inventories, under US GAAP in 2000, 2001 and 2002, for the anticipated 2001, 2002 and 2003 bonus distribution, respectively, was

in future periods such amounts will continue to be substantial. Net income and earnings per share amounts calculated in accordance with ROC GAAP and US GAAP will differ accordingly. See note 28 to our consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P>

market value of investments that are held for long-term purposes is deducted from the stockholders&#146; equity. Under US GAAP, debt securities that we have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity
securities and reported at amortized cost. Debt and equity securities that are bought and traded for short-term profit are classified as trading securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Debt and

STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under ROC GAAP, the fair value of the net assets received is deemed to be the value of the consideration for the acquisition of the remaining interests in
United Semiconductor, United Silicon, UTEK Semiconductor and United Integrated Circuits and is reflected in the common stock and capital reserve in the balance sheet. We estimated the fair value of the net assets acquired through two valuation
models, a profitability and net worth model and a discounted cash flow model. We also used other considerations such as the valuation of current operations, synergies, technical knowledge and future prospects. Under US GAAP, the acquisition was
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and the purchase price is determined using the market value of the shares exchanged. The difference between the fair value of the shares exchanged and the fair value of the net assets acquired
creates goodwill. Goodwill was amortized on a straight-line basis over ten years up to January 1, 2002. Upon the first adoption of SFAS No. 141 &#147;Business Combinations&#148; &amp; SFAS No. 142 &#147;Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets&#148; on
January 1, 2002, the goodwill ceased to be amortized and is subject to impairment test only. See &#147;&#151; Recent Accounting Pronouncements.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

No. 141 also specifies criteria intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill, noting that any purchase price allocable to an assembled workforce may not be accounted

of which were paid in the form of shares. The number of shares issued as employee share bonus is calculated by valuing the shares at their par value, or NT$10 per share, rather than their fair market value. Accordingly, the value of the shares
received by employees is significantly more than the cash amount employees would receive if the employee share bonus was paid in cash. See &#147;Items 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects&#151;US GAAP Reconciliation.&#148; </FONT></P> <P

of our business. Our board of directors is composed of 10 directors. The Chairman of our board is elected by our directors. The Chairman presides at all meetings of our board of directors, and also has the authority to represent our company. The
term of office for our directors is three years, and our directors are elected by our shareholders by means of cumulative voting. The next election for all of the directors and supervisors is expected to be held in 2004. In addition, our articles of
incorporation provide that our shareholders also elect three supervisors whose duties include, among other things, investigating our business and financial condition, inspecting our corporate records, calling our shareholders&#146; meetings,
representing us in negotiations with our directors and notifying, when appropriate, our board of directors to cease acting in contravention of applicable law or regulation or in contravention of our articles of incorporation. The supervisors cannot
concurrently serve as our directors or officers or employees. Pursuant to the ROC Company Law, a person may serve as our director or supervisor in his or her personal capacity or as the representative of another legal entity. A legal entity that
owns our shares may be elected as a director or supervisor, in which case a natural person must be designated to act as the legal entity&#146;s representative. A legal entity that is our shareholder may designate its representative to be elected as
our director or supervisor on its behalf. In the event several representatives are designated by the same legal entity, any or all of them may be elected. A director or supervisor who serves as the representative of a legal entity may be removed or
replaced at any time at the discretion of such legal entity, and the replacement director or supervisor may serve the remainder of the term of office of the replaced director or supervisor. Currently, eight of our directors and one of our
supervisors are representatives of other legal entities, as shown in &#147;Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees&#151; A. Directors and Senior Management&#148;. Our articles of incorporation provides that our directors and supervisors

except if the individual holder has both ROC and non-ROC nationalities and has a registered address in the ROC. An entity holder will be considered as not a resident of Taiwan if it is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than Taiwan and
has no fixed place of business or other permanent establishment in Taiwan. Prospective purchasers of ADSs should consult their own tax advisors concerning the tax consequences of owning ADSs or shares in Taiwan and any other relevant taxing

earnings and paid out to a holder that is not a Taiwan resident in respect of shares represented by ADSs are subject to ROC withholding tax at the time of distribution. The current rate of withholding for non-residents is 30% for a non-resident
individual and 25% for a non-resident entity of the amount of the distribution in the case of cash dividends or of the par value of the shares distributed in the case of stock dividends. However, the rate of withholding is 20% if the non-resident
holder obtains foreign investment approval pursuant to Statute for Foreigner&#146;s Investment or Statute for Overseas Chinese&#146;s Investment. Under current practice adopted by tax authorities, a 20% withholding rate is applied to a non-resident
ADS holder without requiring the holder to apply for or obtain foreign investment approval. As discussed in the section &#147;&#151;Tax Reform&#148; below, certain of our retained earnings will be subject to a 10% undistributed retained earnings
tax. To the extent dividends are paid out of retained earnings which have been subject to the retained earnings tax, the amount of such tax will be used by us to offset a non-resident&#146;s withholding tax liability on such dividend. Consequently,
the effective rate of withholding on dividends paid out of retained earnings previously subject to the retained earnings tax may be less then 20%. There is no withholding tax with respect to stock dividends declared out of our capital reserve.

joint return, of creditable foreign taxes which you have paid or accrued during the taxable year. Furthermore, you will not be allowed a foreign tax credit for foreign taxes imposed on dividends paid on shares or ADSs if you (1) have held shares or

basis in the old shares between the old shares and the new shares, based on their relative fair market values on the date of distribution. For U.S. tax purposes, any such tax-free share distribution and any distributions in excess of current and
accumulated earnings and profits and distributions of shares generally would not result in foreign source income to you. Consequently, you may not be able to use the foreign tax credit associated with any ROC withholding tax imposed on such
distributions unless you can use the credit against U.S. tax due on other foreign source income in the appropriate category for foreign tax credit purposes. You should consult your own tax advisors regarding all aspects of the foreign tax credit.

currencies to which we are exposed are the US dollar and the Japanese Yen. We have in the past and may in the future enter into short-term, forward exchange contracts to hedge the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on certain underlying assets,
liabilities, and firm commitments for operating expenses and capital expenditures denominated in US dollars. The purpose of entering into these hedges is to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on the results of operations. Gains and

December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company&#146;s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial
statements of UMC Group (USA), a wholly-owned subsidiary, and UMC Japan, a 51.47% owned subsidiary, whose statements reflect total assets of NT$10,171 million and NT$25,759 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2000, and total revenues of
NT$43,491 million and NT$10,542 million, respectively, for the year then ended. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for UMC Group
(USA) and UMC Japan, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We
conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the reports of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. </FONT></P> <P

their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

breached a Settlement Agreement entered on July 31, 1997 with respect to a settlement of a dispute between the Company and Oak concerning certain CD ROM controller products made by the Company and a patent owned by Oak. The Company denied Oak&#146;s
allegations and on December 24, 1997, filed its answer and affirmative defenses refuting Oak&#146;s claims. Based on the allegations that it is Oak which has breached the Settlement, the Company simultaneously filed a counterclaim against Oak,
seeking damages and a return of the millions paid to Oak under the Settlement. In addition, the Company further seeks a declaration that the Oak patent is invalid and/or unenforceable. Though Oak filed a complaint later with the International Trade
Commission (&#147;ITC&#148;) repeating the allegations made in the District Court, both the ITC and the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued a ruling affirming that there was no infringement and no violation. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE> <P

The Company intends to continue to defend these matters vigorously. Furthermore, the management does not believe the Oak complaints will have any material adverse impact on the Company&#146;s operations and/or financial performance. </FONT></P> <P

investments where a company has an ownership interest of at least 20% are generally required to be accounted for under the equity method. However, when there is evidence indicating that the investor company does not have significant influence over
the equity investee, despite an ownership interest of 20% or more, the investor company should not account for the equity investee under equity method. On the contrary, when there is evidence indicating that the investor company has significant
influence over the equity investee&#146;s operating and financial policies, despite an ownership interest of less than 20%, the investor company will account for the equity investee under equity method. Under US GAAP, the Group is required to use
the equity method of accounting for an investment in common stock when the investment in voting stock gives it the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of an investee. An investment (direct or indirect) of
20% or more of the voting stock of an investee leads to a presumption that in the absence of evidence to the contrary an investor has the ability to exercise significant influence over an investee. There were no significant differences between ROC

features should be recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to capital reserve. That amount should be calculated at the issuance date as the difference between the conversion price
and the fair value of the common stock, multiplied by the number of shares into which the security is convertible (intrinsic value). As a result, a bond discount is recognized by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of
that feature to capital reserve. The Group recognized interest expense of NT$1,274 million from February 1994, the date of issuance of the bonds, to May 1994, the date of first conversion, relating to a NT$1.5 billion bond. The Group also recognized

between the total cost of the investment and the proportionate share of the fair value net assets is first allocated to identifiable tangible and intangible assets and the remaining unallocated amounts to goodwill, which was amortized over their
respective estimated useful lives up to January 1, 2002. Upon the first adoption of the SFAS No.141, &#147;Business Combination&#148; and SFAS No.142, &#147;Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets&#148; by the Group on January 1, 2002, goodwill created
from acquisition is no longer to be amortized. Under US GAAP, for the year ended December 31, 2000, the Group capitalized goodwill of NT$468.3 million related to a subsidiary&#146;s convertible bond, with NT$49.4 million, NT$93.7 million, and nil
being amortized in the income statement for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001, and 2002, respectively. Further, upon conversion of an equity investment&#146;s bond, which increased the Group&#146;s ownership, the difference of NT$519 million

derivative instrument shall be separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative instrument pursuant to the statement if a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely
related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, b) the contract that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not remeasured at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings as
they occur and c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133. For an available-for-sale convertible debt securities, the conversion
option embedded must be separated from the debt host contract and accounted for as a derivative instrument provided that the conversion option would, as a freestanding instrument, be a derivative instrument subject to the requirement of SFAS No. 133
since the embedded conversion option satisfied the above three criteria. As a result, the embedded option contracts in the convertible bonds with the initial amount of NT$104 million in total at date of purchase were separated from the debt host
contracts and were accounted for as trading securities reporting at fair value, with unrealized loss of NT$25 million included in earnings for the year ended December 31, 2002. On the other hand, the debt host contracts with the initial amount of
NT$2,397 million were classified as available-for-sale securities, with an unrealized gain of NT$46 million reported in other comprehensive income. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

consideration for the acquisition of the remaining interests in United Semiconductor, United Silicon, UTEK Semiconductor and United Integrated Circuits and is reflected in the common stock and capital reserve in the balance sheet. The Group
estimated the fair value of the net assets acquired through two valuation models, profitability and net worth model, and a discounted cash flows model. They also used other considerations such as the valuation of current operations, synergies,
technical knowledge and future prospects. Under US GAAP, the acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and the purchase price was determined using the market value of the shares exchanged. The difference between the fair
value of the shares exchanged and the fair value of the net assets acquired creates goodwill. Goodwill was amortized on a straight-line basis over ten years. Upon the adoption of SFAS No.141 &amp; 142 on January 1, 2002 by the Group, the goodwill
ceased to be amortized and is subject to impairment test only. The details of the adoption of SFAS No.141 &amp; 142 are set out in the &#147;Additional US GAAP Disclosures&#148;. The purchase price under US GAAP was determined based on the average
closing market price of the Company&#146;s stock on the five trading days beginning two days before June 16, 1999, the first day of trading after the announcement of the acquisition to determine the fair values of the shares exchanged. </FONT></P>

interest rate of 1.98%; dividend yields of 22.63%; volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company&#146;s common stock of 0.54; and a weighted-average expected life of the option of 4.4 years. </FONT></P> <P

stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management&#146;s opinion, the existing models do not
necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

the Group to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts and notes receivable. The Group limits its exposure to credit loss by depositing its cash and cash equivalents with high
credit quality financial institutions. The Group&#146;s revenues and trade accounts and notes receivable are derived primarily from the sale of production foundry wafers, including memory and logic products and wafers. For the years ended December
31, 2001 and 2002, the Group distributes its products on a global basis but mainly to customers in North America (37.81% and 37.64%, respectively), Asia (42.07% and 51.25%, respectively,) and Europe and others (20.12% and 11.11%, respectively). The
Group&#146;s sales are primarily denominated in currencies other than NT Dollars, primarily US Dollars. One customer&#146;s revenue represented 11% of the consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001 while two customers&#146; revenue
represented 12% and 13%, respectively, of the consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2002. The Group routinely assesses the financial strength of substantially all customers. For significant domestic sales the Group also requires
certain collateral to mitigate the credit risk. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><U>Adoption of SFAS No.141

business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 as well as all purchase method business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also specifies criteria intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must
meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill, noting that any purchase price allocable to an assembled workforce may not be accounted for separately. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives
should no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective
estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, &#147;Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets&#148;. </FONT></P> <P

SFAS No. 121, &#147;Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of&#148;. SFAS No. 144 retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived
assets to be held and used and measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. SFAS No. 144 addresses certain implementation issues related to SFAS No. 121. This Statement also supersedes the accounting and reporting provisions of APB
Opinion No. 30, &#147;Reporting the Results of Operations&#151;Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions&#148;, for segments of a business to be
disposed of. SFAS No. 144 retains the basic provisions of APB Opinion No. 30 for the presentation of discontinued operations in the income statement but broadens that presentation to include a component of an entity, rather than a segment of a
business. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002 did not have any material effect on the Group&#146;s financial position or results of operations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The standard applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction,
development and (or) normal use of the asset. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">SFAS No. 143 requires that the
fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated
asset and this additional carrying amount is depreciated over the life of the asset. The liability is accreted at the end of each period through charges to operating expense. If the obligation is settled for other than the carrying amount of the
liability, the Group will recognize a gain or loss on settlement. SFAS No. 143 is effective for the Group beginning January 2003 and the Group is currently evaluating the effect that implementation of the new standard will have on its financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In June 2002, the FASB issued

obligations associated with exit or disposal activities. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 in January 2003 is not expected to have a material effect on the Group&#146;s financial position or results of operations. </FONT></P> <P

44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections&#148;, SFAS No. 147 &#147;Acquisition of Certain Financial Institutions&#148; and SFAS No. 148 &#147;Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure.&#148;
These Statements were effective for the Group during the year ended December 31, 2002 and did not have any material effect on the earnings or financial position of the Group for the year then ended. </FONT></P> <P

and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others&#148; (&#147;FIN45&#148;). FIN45 requires certain guarantees to be recorded at fair value, which is different from the general current practice of
recording a liability only when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable, as those terms are defined in SFAS No. 5, &#147;Accounting for Contingencies.&#148; FIN45 also requires a guarantor to make significant new disclosures for virtually all
guarantees even if the likelihood of the guarantor&#146;s having to make payments under the guarantee is remote. The disclosure requirements of FIN45 are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002.

NT$6,854 million as of December 31, 2002. The repayment in full, including any accrued interest, of these deposits is subject to the non-occurrence of one or more credit events, which are referenced to the entities&#146; fulfillment of their own
obligations as well as repayment of their corporate bonds. Upon the occurrence of one or more of such credit events, the Group may receive nil or less than the full amount of these deposits and any payment received may be delayed due to the
occurrence of certain events. The underlying reference entities are summarized as follows: </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS IN THIS ANNUAL REPORT
MAY NOT BE REALIZED
Our disclosure and analysis in this annual report contain or incorporate by
reference some forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements contain information regarding, among other things, our financial condition, future expansion plans and business strategy. We have based these forward-looking statements on our
current expectations and projections about future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Although we believe that these expectations and projections are reasonable, such
forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us, including, among other things:
•
our dependence on frequent introduction of new services and technologies based on the latest developments;
•
the intensely competitive semiconductor, personal computer and communication industries and markets;
•
risks associated with international global business activities;
•

•
natural disasters, such as earthquakes and droughts, which are beyond our control;
1
Table of Contents
•
general economic and political conditions, including those related to the semiconductor, personal computer and communication industries;
•
possible disruptions in commercial activities caused by natural and human induced disasters, including terrorist activity and armed conflict, that may reduce end-user purchases
relative to expectations and orders;
•
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;
•
additional disclosures we make in our previous and future Form 20-F annual reports and Form 6-K periodic reports to the SEC; and
•
those other risks identified in "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors" of this annual report.
The words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate,"
"expect," "intend," "plan" and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify a number of these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this annual report might not occur and our actual results could differ
materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

GLOSSARY
ASIC
Application Specific Integrated Circuit. A custom-designed integrated circuit that performs specific functions which would otherwise require a number of off-the-shelf integrated
circuits to perform. The use of an ASIC in place of a conventional integrated circuit reduces product size and cost and also improves reliability.
BICMOS
IC fabrication technology that produces both bipolar transistors and CMOS transistors and combines them on one chip.
Cell
A primary unit that normally repeats many times in an integrated circuit. For example, a cell represents a bit in a memory integrated circuit.
CMOS
Complementary Metal Oxide Silicon. Currently the most common integrated circuit fabrication process technology, CMOS is one of the latest fabrication techniques to use metal oxide
semiconductor transistors.
Die
A piece of a semiconductor wafer containing the circuitry of a single chip.
DRAM
Dynamic Random Access Memory. A type of volatile memory product that is used in electronic systems to store data and program instructions. It is the most common-type of RAM and must
be refreshed with electricity hundreds of times per second or else it will fade away.
Digital signal processor
A type of integrated circuit that processes and manipulates digital information after it has been converted from an analog source.
8-inch wafer equivalents
Standard unit describing the equivalent amount of 8-inch wafers produced after conversion. Figures of 8-inch wafer equivalents are derived by converting the number of wafers of all
dimensions (e.g., 6-inch, 8-inch, 12-inch) into their equivalent figures for 8-inch wafers. 100 6-inch wafers are equivalent to 56.25 8-inch wafers. 100 12-inch wafers are equivalent to 225 8-inch wafers. Used to quantify levels of wafer production
for purposes of comparison.
Flash memory
A type of non-volatile memory that is erasable and reprogrammable. It can be erased and reprogrammed in the electronic system into which the flash memory chip has been
incorporated.
Integrated circuit
A combination of two or more transistors on a base material, usually silicon. All semiconductor chips, including memory chips and logic chips, are just very complicated integrated
circuits with thousands of transistors.
Interconnect
The conductive path that is made from copper or aluminum is required to achieve connection from one circuit element to other circuit elements within a circuit.
Logic device
A device that contains digital integrated circuits that process, rather than store, information.
Low-k dielectric insulation
In the higher layers of the integrated circuit, insulating material is used to separate interconnect layers. A low dielectric constant ("k") is desired in the insulator in
order to minimize "parasitic capacitance," which acts as a drag on system performance, or "clock speed." At the 0.13-micron node, for clock
3
Table of Contents
speeds above 1 GHz, low-k dielectrics are necessary.
Mask
A piece of glass on which an integrated circuit circuitry design is laid out. Integrated circuits may require up to 20 different layers of design, each with its own mask. In the
integrated circuit production process, a light shines through the mask leaving an image of the design on the wafer.
Memory
A group of integrated circuits that a computer uses to store data and programs, such as ROM, RAM, DRAM and SRAM.
Micron
A unit of spatial measurement that is one millionth of a meter.
Nanometer
A unit of spatial measurement that is one billionth of a meter.
Nonvolatile memory
Memory products which retain their data content without the need for constant power supply.
PC
Personal computer.
RAM
Random Access Memory. A type of volatile memory, forming the main memory of a computer where applications and files are run.
ROM
Read-Only Memory. Memory that is programmed by the manufacturer and cannot be changed. Typically, ROM is used to provide start-up data when a computer is first turned
on.
Semiconductor
A material with electrical conducting properties in between those of metals and insulators. Essentially, semiconductors transmit electricity only under certain circumstances, such as
when given a positive or negative electric charge. Therefore, a semiconductor's ability to conduct can be turned on or off by manipulating those charges and this allows the semiconductor to act as an electric switch. The most common
semiconductor material is silicon, used as the base of most semiconductor chips today because it is relatively inexpensive and easy to create.
SOI
Silicon-On-Insulator. A composite structure consisting of an active layer of silicon deposited on an insulating material. The insulator can be sapphire, silicon dioxide, silicon
nitride, or even an insulating form of silicon itself. The ICs subsequently deposited in the active silicon layer can have advantages of radiation hardness, speed, and high-temperature operation.
SRAM
Static Random Access Memory. A type of volatile memory product that is used in electronic systems to store data and program instructions. Unlike the more common DRAM, it does not
need to be refreshed.
Stepper
A machine used in the photolithography process in making wafers. With a stepper, a small portion of the wafer is aligned with the mask upon which the circuitry design is laid out and
is then exposed to strong light. The machine then "steps" to the next area repeating the process until the entire wafer has been done. Exposing only a small area of the wafer at a time allows the light to be focused more strongly which
gives better resolution of the circuitry design.
System-on-a-chip
A chip that incorporates functions currently performed by several chips on a cost-effective basis.
Transistor
An individual circuit that can amplify or switch electric current. This is the
4
Table of Contents
building block of all integrated circuits.
Volatile memory
Memory products which lose their data content when the power supply is switched off.
Wafer
Thin, round, flat piece of silicon that is the base of most integrated circuits.

ITEM 3. KEY INFORMATION
A. Selected Financial
Data
The selected balance sheet data as of December 31,
2001 and 2002 and the selected statements of income and cash flow data for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, have been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report. The selected
balance sheet data as of December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000, and the selected statements of income and cash flow data for the year ended December 31, 1998 and 1999 have been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements, which are not
included in this annual report.
Our financial statements have
been prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the ROC, or ROC GAAP, which differ in many material respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the US, or US GAAP. For a discussion of these
differences, see note 28 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report. Some of the statement of income, cash flow and balance sheet data items have been reconciled to US GAAP and are set forth below. The
summary financial data set forth below should be read in conjunction with "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects" and our financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this annual report.
United Microelectronics completed a merger on January 3, 2000
with one subsidiary and three affiliates that were not consolidated in prior periods. Therefore, the historical information for periods prior to January 1, 2000 is not comparable to the information for 2000 and subsequent periods.
Income before income tax and minority interest is inclusive of income
recognized on pre-acquired business operations. These amounts, NT$19 million, nil and NT$29 million for 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively, were removed through an adjustment to minority interest.

D. Risk Factors
Our
business and operations are subject to various risks, many of which are beyond our control. If any of the risks described below actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be seriously harmed.
Risks Related to Our Financial Condition and Business
The cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry and periodic overcapacity make us
particularly vulnerable to economic downturns as illustrated by our operating results since 2001.
The semiconductor industry has historically been highly cyclical and, at various times, has experienced significant downturns characterized by production
overcapacity, reduced product demand, rapid erosion of average selling prices and fluctuations in end-user demand. Historically, companies in the semiconductor industry have expanded aggressively during periods of increased demand in order to
generate the capacity needed to meet expected demand in the future. If actual demand does not increase or declines, or if companies in the industry expand too aggressively in light of the actual increase in demand, the industry will generally
experience a period in which industry-wide capacity exceeds demand. For this reason, periods of overcapacity in the semiconductor industry have historically followed periods of increased demand.
The semiconductor industry has experienced a downturn since late 2000. Our
capacity utilization rate decreased from 100% in 2000 to 47% in 2001, due to rapidly deteriorating demand for our products and services, mainly from our customers in the communication sector, but increased to 65% in 2002 as a result of a rising
demand from the consumer electronics and wireless communication businesses. We believe that our operating results in 2001 and 2002 reflect the continued uncertainty in the global economy, conservative corporate information technology spending and
low visibility with respect to end market demand. In addition, our average selling price declined approximately 7% between 2001 and 2002, mainly due to the substantial pricing pressure. Future downturns in the semiconductor industry may be severe
and could seriously harm our business.
Our operating results fluctuate
from quarter to quarter, which makes it difficult to predict our future performance.
Our revenues, expenses and results of operations have varied significantly in the past and may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter in the future due to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our
control. Our business and operations have at times in the past been negatively affected by, and are expected to continue to be subject to the risk of, the following factors:
•
changes in general economic and business conditions, including those directly and indirectly related to the aftermath of terrorist attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001
•
recent military actions against Iraq by the United States and its allies;
•
the cyclical nature of both the semiconductor industry and the markets served by our customers;
•
our customers' adjustments in their inventory;
•
the loss of a key customer or the postponement of orders from a key customer;
10
Table of Contents
•
the rescheduling and cancellation of large orders;
•
our ability to obtain equipment, raw materials, electricity, water and other required utilities on a timely and economic basis;
•
outbreaks of contagious diseases, including severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS;
•
environmental events, such as fires and earthquakes, or industrial accidents; and
•
technological changes.
Due to the factors noted above and other risks discussed in this section, many of which are beyond our control, you should not rely on quarter-to-quarter
comparisons to predict our future performance. Unfavorable changes in any of the above factors may seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our operating results may be below the expectations of public
market analysts and investors in some future periods. In this event, the price of the shares or ADSs may underperform or fall.
The recent outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, in several economies in Asia, including Taiwan, and several other Asian countries, may materially
and adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Beginning March 2003, several economies in Asia, including China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan have been severely affected by the outbreak of SARS, a highly contagious form of atypical pneumonia. SARS has caused, and is expected to
continue to cause, severe damages to trade and tourism industries as well as on the economies and financial markets of the affected countries, including Taiwan. So far the SARS outbreak has not caused a negative significance on our manufacturing
yields or sales volume. However, its effect for our future results remains uncertain. In addition, any economic downturn as a result of the SARS outbreak may have an adverse effect on consumer confidence, and may in turn result in a decrease in the
demand for our products and services. Recognizing the growing concern regarding the outbreak of SARS and the possible effect it may have on our business, we have taken several proactive steps to bring this risk to a minimum extent. For example, we
are currently prohibiting business related travel by our employees to SARS infected areas outside of Taiwan. We plan to implement additional measures if SARS does not cease or continues to spread in the future. If any of our employees is suspected
to have contracted SARS, we may under certain circumstances be required to quarantine such employee and the affected areas of our premises. As a result, we may have to temporarily suspend part of or all of our operations.
Our business may be harmed by changes in general economic and business conditions
resulting from events or factors beyond our control.
The terrorist attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001, in Indonesia on October 12, 2002 and in Saudi Arabia on May 13, 2003 may have long-term effects on world economies and markets. In addition, in early 2003, the United States
and its allies completed military operations against Iraq, and the global reactions to these military operations are still being formulated. Concerns about the war and possible acts of terrorism directed against the United States and its interests
as well as political tensions in other areas of the world, have affected and will likely to affect the global economy and consumer confidence.
Any economic downturn resulting from any of the events described above may reduce the demand for our products and services and negatively impact our
results of operations. We cannot guarantee that our business will not be substantially affected by similar events in the future. The impact and future effects of these events are currently uncertain, and we are unable to predict the future impact
they may have on our business and operations, the international markets in which we operate and the global economy in general.

A decrease in demand for or selling prices of communication applications, consumer electronics and personal
computers may decrease the demand for our services and reduce our margins.
Our customers generally use the semiconductors produced in our fabs in a wide variety of applications. We derive a significant percentage of our operating revenues from customers who use our manufacturing services to
make semiconductors for communication applications, consumer electronics and personal computers. Our products for communication, consumer electronics, computer, memory and other applications generated 31.3%, 30.8%, 27.3%, 8.9% and 1.7%,
respectively, of our net operating revenues in 2002. The communication applications and personal computer markets have experienced a sudden and substantial market downturn and inventory correction since late 2000. This downturn resulted in a reduced
demand for our services, hence lower revenues and incurrence of losses. Any significant decrease in the demand for communication applications or personal computers may further decrease the demand for our services. In addition, if the average selling
prices of communication applications or personal computers decline significantly, we will be pressured to further reduce our selling prices, which may reduce our revenues and therefore reduce our margins significantly. As demonstrated by the
downturn since late 2000 in demand for high technology products, market conditions can change rapidly, without apparent warning or advance notice. In such instances, our customers will experience inventory buildup and/or difficulties in selling
their products, and in turn, will reduce or cancel orders for wafers from us. While these downturns are to be expected in the semiconductor business, their timing, severity and recovery cannot be predicted accurately or at all in advance. When they
occur, our business, profitability and price of the shares and ADSs are likely to suffer.
If the demand for foundry services continues to slow down, we may lose customers and our revenues could significantly decline.
The demand for third-party foundry services by integrated device manufacturers, system companies and fabless design
companies has decreased in recent years, in part because many integrated device manufacturers have returned to manufacturing their semiconductor products internally in order to maintain their equipment utilization rates. The recent slowdown in
demand has resulted in a lower rate of investment return than we originally planned. Our revenues were negatively affected in 2001 and 2002 due to reductions in orders from integrated device manufacturer customers and, if such trend continues, our
future revenues could continue to decline.
Any problem in the
semiconductor outsourcing infrastructure can adversely affect our net operating revenues and profitability.
Many of our customers depend on third parties to provide mask tooling, assembly and test services. If these customers cannot timely obtain these services
on reasonable terms, they may not order any foundry services from us. This may significantly reduce our net operating revenues and negatively affect our profitability.
We may be unable to implement new technology as it becomes available, which may result in our loss of customers and market share.
The semiconductor industry is developing rapidly and
the related technology is constantly evolving. If we do not anticipate the technology evolution and rapidly adopt new and innovative technology, we may not be able to produce sufficiently advanced products at competitive prices. There is a risk that
our competitors may adopt new technology before we do, resulting in our loss of market share. If we do not continue to produce the most advanced products at competitive prices, our customers may use the services of our competitors instead of our
services, which may cause our net operating revenues to decline unless we can replace lost customers with new customers.
If we lose the support of our technology partners, we may be unable to provide leading technology to our customers.
Enhancing our manufacturing process technologies is critical to our ability
to provide services for our customers. We intend to continue to advance our process technologies through internal research and development and alliances with other companies. Although we have an internal research and development team focused on
developing new semiconductor manufacturing process technologies, we are dependent on our technology partners to advance our portfolio of process technologies. We currently have technology joint development arrangements with
12
Table of Contents
Infineon and patent cross-licensing agreements with several companies, including Agere Systems Inc., Harris, Hitachi, IBM , Motorola and Texas Instruments.
We also depend upon mask and equipment vendors to supply our technology development teams with the masks and equipment needed to continuously develop more advanced processing technologies. If we are unable to continue any of our joint development
arrangements, patent cross-licensing agreements, research and development alliances and other agreements, on mutually beneficial economic terms, if we re-evaluate the technological and economic benefits of such relationships, if we are unable to
enter into new technology alliances with other leading semiconductor suppliers or if we fail to secure masks and equipment from our vendors in a timely manner sufficient to support our ongoing technology development, we may lose important customers
because we are unable to continue providing our customers with leading edge mass-producible process technologies.
If we cannot compete successfully in our industry, our business may suffer.
The worldwide semiconductor foundry industry is highly competitive. We compete with dedicated foundry service providers such
as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited and, to a lesser extent, Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd., as well as the foundry operation services of some integrated device manufacturers such as IBM. Integrated device manufacturers
principally manufacture and sell their own proprietary semiconductor products, but may also offer foundry service. New competitors such as Silterra Malaysia Sdn. Bhd., 1st Silicon (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd., Semiconductor Manufacturing International
(Shanghai) Corporation and Grace Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp. have initiated efforts to develop substantial new foundry capacity. New entrants in the foundry business are likely to initiate a trend of competitive pricing and create potential
overcapacity in legacy technology. Some of our competitors have greater access to capital and substantially greater production, research and development, marketing and other resources than we do. As a result, these companies may be able to compete
more aggressively over a longer period of time than we can.
The principal elements of competition in the wafer foundry market include:
•
technical competence;
•
production speed and cycle time;
•
time-to-market;
•
research and development quality;
•
available capacity;
•
manufacturing yields;
•
customer service;
•
price;
•
management expertise; and
•
strategic alliances.
Our ability to compete successfully also depends on factors partially outside of our control, including product availability and industry and general
economic trends. If we cannot compete successfully in our industry, our business may suffer.
If we are unable to continuously improve our manufacturing yields, maintain high capacity utilization and optimize the technology mix of our silicon wafer production, our profit margin may substantially decline.
Our ability to maintain our profitability depends, in
part, on our ability to:
13
Table of Contents
•
maintain our capacity utilization, that is, the wafer-out quantity of eight-inch equivalent wafers divided by estimated total eight-inch equivalent capacity in a specified period.
The estimated capacity numbers may differ depending upon equipment delivery schedules, pace of migration to more advanced process technologies and other factors affecting production ramp-ups;
•
maintain or improve our manufacturing yield, that is, the percentage of usable manufactured devices on a wafer; and
•
optimize the technology mix of our production, that is, the relative number of wafers manufactured utilizing different process technologies.
Our manufacturing yields directly affect our ability to attract and retain
customers, as well as the price of our services. Our capacity utilization affects our operating results because a large percentage of our operating costs are fixed. As a result of a market downturn beginning in late 2000, our capacity utilization
rate, which was 100% in 2000, decreased to 47% in 2001, but increased to 65% in 2002. Our technology mix affects utilization of our equipment and process technologies, which can affect our margins. If we are unable to continuously improve our
manufacturing yields, maintain high capacity utilization or optimize the technology mix of our wafer production, our profit margin may substantially decline.
If we are unable to obtain the financing necessary to fund the substantial capital expenditures we expect to incur, we may not be able to implement our planned
growth.
Our business and the nature of our industry
require us to make substantial capital expenditures leading to a high level of fixed costs. We expect to incur significant capital expenditures in connection with our growth plans. These capital expenditures will be made in advance of any additional
sales to be generated by new or upgraded fabs as a result of these expenditures. Given the fixed cost nature of our business, we have in the past incurred, and may in the future incur, operating losses if our revenues do not adequately offset our
capital expenditures. Additionally, our actual expenditures may exceed our planned expenditures for a variety of reasons, including changes in:
•
our growth plan;
•
our process technology;
•
market conditions;
•
interest rates;
•
exchange rate fluctuations; and
•
prices of equipment.
We cannot assure you that additional financing will be available on satisfactory terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available on satisfactory
terms, we may be forced to curtail our expansion plans or delay the deployment of our services, which could result in a loss of customers and limit the growth of our business.
We depend on a small number of customers for a significant portion of our net operating revenues and a loss of some of these customers
would result in the loss of a significant portion of our net operating revenues.
We have been largely dependent on a small number of customers for a substantial portion of our business. For 2002, our top ten end customers accounted for 53.2% of our net operating revenues. MediaTek and Xilinx, in
particular, each accounted for over 10% of our net operating revenues in 2002. We expect that we will continue to be dependent upon a relatively limited number of customers for a significant portion of our net operating revenues. We cannot assure
you that our net operating revenues generated from these customers, individually or in the aggregate, will reach or exceed historical levels in any future period. Loss or cancellation of business from
14
Table of Contents
significant changes in scheduled deliveries to, or decreases in the prices of services sold to, any of these customers could significantly reduce our net
operating revenues.
Our customers generally do not place purchase orders
far in advance, which makes it difficult for us to predict our future revenues, adjust production costs and allocate capacity efficiently on a timely basis.
Our customers generally do not place purchase orders far in advance, usually two months before shipment. In addition, due to
the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry, our customers' purchase orders have varied significantly from period to period. As a result, we do not typically operate with any significant backlog. The lack of significant backlog makes it
difficult for us to forecast our revenues in future periods. Moreover, our expense levels are based in part on our expectations of future revenues and we may be unable to adjust costs in a timely manner to compensate for revenue shortfalls. We
expect that in the future our net operating revenues in any quarter will continue to be substantially dependent upon purchase orders received in that quarter.
We face significant risks, and will incur substantial costs, in connection with our planned joint ventures to construct and operate new fabs in Singapore.
In March 2001, we entered into a foundry venture
agreement with EDB Investments Pte Ltd and Infineon, relating to the formation of UMCi Pte Ltd, a joint venture in Singapore to construct and operate a 12-inch wafer fab in Singapore's Pasir Ris Wafer Fab Park. The facilities of UMCi are
expected to employ advanced process technologies, ranging from 0.13 micron to 65-nanometer. Under the terms of the foundry venture agreement, we expect to invest up to US$630 million in UMCi. UMCi began to install equipment in January 2003, and
plans to start pilot production by the end of 2003 for the interconnect copper layers of line qualification. Due to the sluggish economy during the past two years, the progress on the construction and capacity expansion of UMCi fab is currently
behind the original schedule. We have not guaranteed to pay any amounts owed by UMCi to any institution extending the external financing and do not plan to do so in the future. As of March 31, 2003, we had invested US$161 million in UMCi and held a
49.74% equity interest in UMCi. In addition, through a voting rights and proxies agreement with Infineon and UMCi, we have voting control over an additional 15% of the ordinary shares of UMCi. Currently, our directors Robert H.C. Tsao, John Hsuan,
Peter Chang and Chris Chi are directors of UMCi, and together constitute a majority of the board of directors of UMCi.
In January 2002, we entered into agreements with AMD (i) to conduct joint development of 90-nanometer and 65-nanometer process technologies, (ii) to form
AU Pte. Ltd., a joint venture to construct, own and operate a 12-inch fab in Singapore, and (iii) to establish a foundry relationship covering a significant portion of AMD's semiconductor fabrication needs. Subsequently, both parties reached an
agreement to discontinue the joint technology development aspect of our cooperation. However, the plan to construct the 12-inch fab under the joint venture remains under consideration, and we will continue to offer foundry services to AMD in
response to its fabrication needs. As of the date of this filing, neither we nor AMD has invested any capital in this joint venture.
We have not previously had any commercial manufacturing operations in Singapore. Doing business in Singapore involves risks related to infrastructure,
changes in local laws and economic and political conditions. We have chosen to locate our planned fabs in Singapore in part to take advantage of economic incentives provided under the laws and policies of Singapore. Changes in these or other laws or
policies or in the political or economic conditions in Singapore or the surrounding region could have an adverse effect on UMCi's business. In addition, due to the high cost of constructing and purchasing equipment for this new fab in
Singapore, we expect that our operations in Singapore could incur significant cash outflows over the next few years. Once a fab is in operation at acceptable capacity and yield rates, it can provide significant cash inflows. However, prior to such
time, it may incur significant losses due largely to significant depreciation and amortization expenses, which are not expected to be offset by a significant amount of revenues prior to the completion of the ramp up process. If UMCi fails to achieve
sufficient volumes of production at or above acceptable yield rates, if we fail to transfer and ramp up our technology in a timely manner, or if costs exceed expectations, our equity interest in UMCi could result in substantial investment losses
which may negatively affect our income or loss.

Our inability to obtain, preserve and defend intellectual property rights could harm our competitive position.
Our ability to compete successfully and achieve
future growth will depend, in part, on our ability to protect our proprietary technology and to secure critical processing technology that we do not own at commercially reasonable terms. We cannot assure you that in the future we will be able to
independently develop, or secure from any third party, the technology required for upgrading our production facilities. Our failure to successfully obtain such technology may seriously harm our competitive position.
Our ability to compete successfully also depends on our ability to operate
without infringing the proprietary rights of others. We have no means of knowing what patent applications have been filed in the United States until they are granted. The semiconductor industry, because of the complexity of the technology used and
the multitude of patents, copyrights and other overlapping intellectual property rights, is characterized by frequent litigation regarding patent, trade secret and other intellectual property rights. It is common for patent owners to assert their
patents against semiconductor manufacturers. We have received from time to time communications from third parties asserting patents that cover certain of our technologies and alleging infringement of intellectual property rights of others, and we
expect to continue to receive such communications in the future. We do not believe that we are currently infringing any patent rights. In the event any third party were to make a valid claim against us or our customers, we could be required to:
•
seek to acquire licenses to the infringed technology which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all;
•
discontinue using certain process technologies, which could cause us to stop manufacturing certain semiconductors;
•
pay substantial monetary damages; or
•
seek to develop non-infringing technologies, which may not be feasible.
Any one of these developments could place substantial financial and administrative burdens on us and hinder our business. Litigation, which could result
in substantial costs to us and diversion of our resources, may also be necessary to enforce our patents or other intellectual property rights or to defend us or our customers against claimed infringement of the rights of others. If we fail to obtain
necessary licenses or if litigation relating to patent infringement or other intellectual property matters occurs, it could hurt our reputation as a technology leader in our industry and prevent us from manufacturing particular products or applying
particular technologies, which could reduce opportunities to generate revenues.
If we lose one or more of our key personnel without adequate replacements, our operations and business will suffer.
Our future success to a large extent depends on the continued service of our Chairman and key executive officers. We do not carry key person insurance on
any of our personnel. If we lose the services of any of our Chairman and key executive officers, it could be difficult to find and integrate replacement personnel in a short period of time, which could harm our operations and the growth of our
business.
We may have difficulty attracting and retaining skilled
employees, who are critical to our future success.
The success of our business depends upon attracting and retaining experienced executives, engineers and other employees to implement our strategy. The competition for skilled employees is intense. We expect demand for personnel in Taiwan to
increase in the future as new wafer fabrication facilities and other businesses are established in Taiwan. We do not have long-term employment contracts with any of our employees. If we were unable to retain our existing personnel or attract,
assimilate and retain new experienced personnel in the future, it could seriously disrupt our operations and delay or restrict the growth of our business.
16
Table of Contents
Our transactions with affiliates and shareholders may hurt our profitability and competitive position.
We have provided foundry services to several of our
affiliates and shareholders. These transactions were conducted on an arm's-length basis. Other than capacity commitments to our former foundry venture partners, we currently do not provide any preferential treatment to any of these affiliates
and shareholders. However, we may in the future reserve or allocate our production capacity to these companies if there is a shortage of foundry services in the market to enable these companies to maintain their operations and/or to protect our
investments in them. This reservation or allocation may reduce our capacity available for our other customers, which may discourage other customers from using our services. This may hurt our profitability and competitive position.
The differences between ROC and US accounting standards affect the amount of our net
income.
Our financial statements are prepared under
generally accepted accounting principles in the ROC, or ROC GAAP, which differ in certain significant respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or US GAAP. For example, ROC GAAP does not require the recognition of
the market value of our shares distributed as bonuses to our employees in the calculation of net income. As a result, our net income (loss) in 2000, 2001 and 2002 under US GAAP was NT$27,134 million, NT$(23,247 million) and NT$294 million (US$8
million), respectively, as compared to net income (loss) under ROC GAAP of NT$50,780 million, NT$(3,157 million) and NT$7,072 million (US$204 million) in 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively. For a discussion of these differences, see note 28 to our
audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.
Risks Relating to Manufacturing
Our manufacturing
processes are highly complex, costly and potentially vulnerable to impurities and other disruptions that can significantly increase our costs and delay product shipments to our customers.
Our manufacturing processes are highly complex, require advanced and costly
equipment and are continuously being modified to improve manufacturing yields and product performance. Impurities or other difficulties in the manufacturing process or defects with respect to equipment or supporting facilities can lower
manufacturing yields, interrupt production or result in losses of products in process. As system complexity has increased and process technology has become more advanced, manufacturing tolerances have been reduced and requirements for precision have
become even more demanding. Although we have been enhancing our manufacturing capabilities and efficiency, from time to time we have experienced production difficulties that have caused delivery delays and quality control problems, as is common in
the semiconductor industry. In the past we have encountered the following problems:
•
capacity constraints due to changes in product mix or the delayed delivery of equipment critical to our production, including steppers and chemical stations;
•
construction delays during expansions of our clean rooms and other facilities;
•
difficulties in increasing production at new and existing facilities;
•
difficulties in upgrading or expanding existing facilities;
•
changing or upgrading our process technologies; and
•
raw materials shortages and impurities.
We cannot guarantee you that we will be able to increase our manufacturing capacity and efficiency in the future to the same extent as in the past.
In addition, the Taiwan government is currently building a
high-speed railway system, which would pass near the Tainan Science-Based Industrial Park where our new 12-inch fab, Fab 12A, is located. Trains on this system are expected to begin running as early as in mid 2005. Once these trains begin running,
they would emit microvibrations
17
Table of Contents
that some experts predict could interfere with the operation of lithography equipment used for wafer production in Fab 12A, which is close to the affected
area. Although we do not believe that such microvibrations may cause serious direct harm to our operations, they could cause our yield rates at this fab to decline and our costs of producing 12-inch wafers to increase, which could negatively affect
our results of operations.
We may have difficulty in ramping up
production in accordance with our schedule, which could cause delays in product deliveries and decreases in manufacturing yields.
As is common in the semiconductor industry, we have from time to time experienced difficulties in ramping up production at new or existing facilities or
effecting transitions to new manufacturing processes. As a result, we have suffered delays in product deliveries or reduced manufacturing yields. We may encounter similar difficulties in connection with:
•
the ramping up of Fab 12A;
•
the ramping up of UMCi in connection with our joint venture with EDB Investments and Infineon;
•
the migration to more advanced process technologies, such as 90-nanometer process technology; and
•
the adoption of new materials, such as the low-k dielectric materials, in our manufacturing processes.
Because we are one of the earliest semiconductor manufacturers in the world to construct 12-inch fabs, we may be subject to
risks relating to the construction, ramping up and operation of these facilities. In addition, we cannot assure you that Pasir Ris Wafer Fab Park, the site of UMCi, will be able to provide infrastructure, engineering and other supporting staff and
raw material supply comparable to that of the Hsinchu Science-Based Industrial Park, where most of our existing fabs are located. In the future, we might face construction delays, interruptions, infrastructure failure and delays in upgrading or
expanding existing facilities, or changing our process technologies, which might adversely affect our ability to ramp up production in accordance with our schedule. Our failure to ramp up our production on a timely basis could delay the time
required to recover our investments and seriously affect our profitability.
If we are unable to obtain raw materials and equipment in a timely manner, our production schedules could be delayed and we may lose customers.
We depend on our suppliers of raw materials. To maintain competitive manufacturing operations, we must obtain from our
suppliers, in a timely manner, sufficient quantities of quality materials at acceptable prices. Although we source our raw materials from several suppliers, a small number of these suppliers account for a substantial amount of our supply of raw
materials because of the consistent quality of these suppliers' wafers. For example, in 2002, we purchased a majority of our 8-inch raw silicon wafers from two suppliers, Shin-Etsu Handotai and Taisil Electronic Materials Corporation. We do not
have long-term contracts with most of our suppliers. From time to time, vendors have extended lead times or limited the supply of required materials to us because of capacity constraints. Consequently, from time to time, we have experienced
difficulty in obtaining the quantities of raw materials we need on a timely basis.
In addition, from time to time we may reject materials that do not meet our specifications, resulting in declines in output or manufacturing yields. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain sufficient
quantities of raw materials and other supplies in a timely manner. If the supply of materials is substantially diminished or if there are significant increases in the costs of raw materials, we may be forced to incur additional costs to acquire
sufficient quantities of raw materials to sustain our operations, which may increase our marginal costs and reduce profitability.
We also depend on a limited number of manufacturers and vendors that make and maintain the complex equipment we use in our manufacturing processes. We
also rely on these manufacturers and vendors to improve our technology to meet our customers' demands as technology improves. In periods of unpredictable and highly diversified market demand, the lead times from order to delivery of this
equipment can be as long as 6 to 12 months. If there are delays in the delivery of equipment or if there are increases in the cost of equipment, it could cause us to
18
Table of Contents
delay our introduction of new manufacturing capacity or technologies and delay product deliveries, which may result in the loss of customers and revenues.
We may be subject to the risk of loss due to fire because the materials
we use in our manufacturing processes are highly flammable.
We use highly flammable materials such as silane and hydrogen in our manufacturing processes and may therefore be subject to the risk of loss arising from fires. The risk of fire associated with these materials cannot be completely
eliminated. In 1997, United Integrated Circuits, which was merged into our company in January 2000, suffered extensive fire damages which completely destroyed its fab. We maintain insurance policies to reduce losses caused by fire, including
business interruption insurance. While we believe that our insurance coverage for damage to our property and disruption of our business due to fire is consistent with semiconductor industry practice, because our insurance coverage is subject to
deductibles and generally only provides coverage in an amount up to the total book value of the assets insured, our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover all of our potential losses. If any of our fabs were to be damaged or cease
operations as a result of a fire, it would temporarily reduce manufacturing capacity and reduce revenues.
We and many of our customers and suppliers are vulnerable to natural disasters and other events outside of our control, which may seriously disrupt our operations.
Most of our assets and many of our customers and suppliers are located in
the Hsinchu Science-Based Industrial Park. We and these customers and suppliers are dependent on the infrastructure supporting the Park. Our and their operations depend on the ability to avoid damages from earthquakes, floods, droughts, power losses
and similar events that affect the Park. The occurrence of any of these events could interrupt our services and cause severe damages to wafers in process. For instance, our operations stopped completely for five days in September 1999 largely
because of power outage caused by a severe earthquake. After the stoppage, we spent several days to ramp up to full operations. Shortages or suspension of power supplies to the Hsinchu Science-Based Industrial Park have occasionally occurred, and
have disrupted our operations. In addition, the Hsinchu area experienced a severe drought in 2001 and is likely to experience other droughts in the future. If a drought does occur and the authorities are unable to source water from alternative
sources in sufficient quantity, we may be required to temporarily shut down or substantially reduce the operations of our fabs located in the Hsinchu Science-Based Industrial Park, which would seriously affect our operations.
If we violate environmental regulations, our operations may be delayed or interrupted
and our business could suffer.
We are always subject
to environmental regulations and a failure or a claim that we have failed to comply with these environmental regulations could cause delays in our production and capacity expansion and affect our public image, either of which could harm our
business. In addition, as environmental regulations are becoming more comprehensive and stringent, we may incur a growing amount of capital expenditures in technology innovation and materials substitution in order to comply with such regulations,
which may adversely affect our results of operations.
Political, Economic
and Regulatory Risks
We face substantial political risks associated
with doing business in Taiwan, particularly due to the tense relationship between Taiwan and China.
Our principal executive offices and substantially all our assets are located in Taiwan and most of our net operating revenues are derived from our
operations in Taiwan. Accordingly, our business and results of operations and the market price of our shares and ADSs may be affected by changes in Taiwan governmental policies, taxation, inflation or interest rates and by social instability and
diplomatic and social developments in or affecting Taiwan which are outside of our control. Taiwan, as part of the Republic of China, has a unique international political status. The People's Republic of China asserts sovereignty over mainland
China and Taiwan and does not recognize the legitimacy of the Taiwan government. Although significant economic and cultural relations have been established during recent years between Taiwan and the People's Republic of China, the government in
mainland China has
19
Table of Contents
indicated that it may use military force to gain control over Taiwan if Taiwan declares independence or indefinitely delays progress towards unification as
well as if any foreign power interferes in Taiwan's affairs. The People's Republic of China has threatened to take hostile actions toward Taiwan if Taiwan does not officially endorse the People's Republic of China's "one
China" policy. Relations between Taiwan and the People's Republic of China and other factors affecting the political or economic conditions of Taiwan could substantially impact our business and the market price and the liquidity of our
shares and ADSs.
Our business depends on the support of the ROC
government, and a decrease in this support may increase our labor costs and decrease our net income after tax.
The ROC government has been very supportive of technology companies such as United Microelectronics. For instance, the ROC's labor laws and
regulations do not require employees of semiconductor companies, including our company, to be unionized, and permit these employees to work shifts of 10 hours each day on a two days on, two days off basis. We cannot assure you, however, that these
labor laws and regulations will not change in the future. In the event that the ROC government requires our employees to be unionized or decreases the number of hours our employees may work in a given day, our labor costs may increase significantly
which could result in lower margins.
We, like many ROC
technology companies, have benefited from substantial tax incentives provided by the ROC government. In 2002, such incentives resulted in a tax credit in the amount of NT$1,041 million (US$30 million). If these incentives are curtailed or
eliminated, our net income after tax may decrease substantially.
The
trading price of the shares and ADSs may be adversely affected by the general activities of the Taiwan Stock Exchange and US stock exchanges, the trading price of our shares, increases in interest rates and the economic performance of Taiwan.
Our shares are listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange.
The trading price of our ADSs may be affected by the trading price of our shares on the Taiwan Stock Exchange and the economic performance of Taiwan. The Taiwan Stock Exchange is smaller and, as a market, more volatile than the securities markets in
the United States and a number of European countries. The Taiwan Stock Exchange has experienced substantial fluctuations in the prices and volumes of sales of listed securities, and there are currently limits on the range of daily price movements on
the Taiwan Stock Exchange. In the past decade, the Taiwan Stock Exchange Index peaked at 10,393.59 in February 2000 and subsequently fell to a low of 3,411.68 in September 2001. On March 13, 2000, the Taiwan Stock Exchange Index experienced a
618-point drop, which represented the single largest decrease in the Taiwan Stock Exchange Index in its history. During 2002, the Taiwan Stock Exchange Index peaked at 6,484.93 on April 22, 2002, and reached a low of 3,845.76 on October 11, 2002. On
May 15, 2003, the Taiwan Stock Exchange Index closed at 4,331.24, and the daily closing value of our shares was NT$20.9 per share. The Taiwan Stock Exchange is particularly volatile during times of political instability, such as when relations
between Taiwan and the People's Republic of China are strained. Moreover, the Taiwan Stock Exchange has experienced problems such as market manipulation, insider trading and payment defaults, and the government of Taiwan has from time to time
intervened in the stock market by purchasing stocks listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. The recurrence of these or similar problems could decrease the market price and liquidity of the shares and ADSs.
From September 19, 2000, the commencement date of the listing of our ADSs on
the New York Stock Exchange, to May 15, 2003, daily reported closing prices of our ADSs ranged from US$15.19 per ADS to US$2.93 per ADS. The market price of the ADSs may also be affected by general trading activities on the US stock exchanges, which
recently have experienced significant price volatility with respect to shares of technology companies. Fluctuation in interest rates and other general economic conditions may also have an effect on the market price of the ADSs.
Currency fluctuations could increase our costs relative to our revenues, which could
adversely affect our profitability.
Over half of our
net operating revenues are denominated in currencies other than New Taiwan dollars, primarily US dollars and Japanese Yen. On the other hand, over half of our costs of direct labor, raw materials and overhead are incurred in New Taiwan dollars.
Although we hedge a portion of the resulting net foreign exchange position through the use of forward exchange contracts, we are still affected by fluctuations in exchange rates among the US
20
Table of Contents
dollar, the Japanese Yen, the New Taiwan dollar and other currencies. Any significant fluctuation in exchange rates may be harmful to our financial
condition. In addition, fluctuations in the exchange rate between the US dollar and the New Taiwan dollar will affect the US dollar value of the ADSs and the US dollar value of any cash dividends we pay, which could have a corresponding effect on
the market price of the ADSs.
Risks Related to the Shares and ADSs and Our
Trading Markets
We may be required to make large open market
purchases of our shares pursuant to the terms of our Zero Coupon Convertible Bonds due 2004, which could adversely affect our financial condition and the market value of the shares and ADSs.
We offered our Zero Coupon Convertible Bonds due 2004 in December 2001. The
shares, which will underlie the ADSs into which our Zero Coupon Convertible Bonds due 2004 are convertible, are currently held by us as treasury shares. As of the date of the offering of our Zero Coupon Convertible Bonds due 2004, we had 129.035
million authorized shares held by us as treasury shares for delivery upon the conversion of our Zero Coupon Convertible Bonds due 2004 into shares or for deposit into our ADS program, which number we believe is sufficient for delivery as prescribed
by the indenture dated December 12, 2001 governing our Zero Coupon Convertible Bonds due 2004 upon exercise of all conversion rights with respect to all of our Zero Coupon Convertible Bonds due 2004. If more than 129.035 million shares are required
to be delivered by us in connection with the exercise of all conversion rights or conversion rights associated with any other bonds to be issued by us, we may make open market purchases of our shares or, to the extent future changes to ROC laws and
regulations permit, issue new shares in order for the delivery of sufficient numbers of shares to holders of our Zero Coupon Convertible Bonds due 2004 or for deposit into our ADS program, as the case may be, upon conversion at the time when a
holder of our Zero Coupon Convertible Bonds due 2004 exercises its conversion rights.
We are not allowed under ROC law to pay dividends on our treasury shares. Under the terms of the indenture, from time to time and at our discretion, we may make open market purchases of our shares or, to the extent
future changes to ROC laws and regulations permit, issue new shares to offset the dilutive effects caused by certain events that result in adjustments to the conversion price of our Zero Coupon Convertible Bonds due 2004 under the indenture on the
number of shares we will be obligated to deliver to holders of our Zero Coupon Convertible Bonds due 2004 or for deposit into our ADS program, as the case may be, upon conversion at the time when a holder of our Zero Coupon Convertible Bonds due
2004 exercises its conversion rights.
We may have to spend
significant amounts of capital, and any such purchases may occur at prices exceeding the conversion price of our Zero Coupon Convertible Bonds due 2004 in effect at such time, which could adversely affect our financial condition and the price of the
shares and ADSs.
Restrictions on the ability to deposit shares into our
ADS program may adversely affect the liquidity and price of the ADSs.
The ability to deposit shares into our ADS program is restricted by ROC law. Under current ROC law, no person or entity, including you and us, may deposit shares into our ADS program without specific approval of the
Securities and Futures Commission of the ROC except for the deposit of the shares into our ADS program and for the issuance of additional ADSs in connection with:
(1)
distribution of share dividends or free distribution of our shares;
(2)
exercise of the preemptive rights of ADS holders applicable to the shares evidenced by ADSs in the event of capital increases for cash; or
(3)
purchases of our shares in the domestic market in Taiwan by the investor directly or through the depositary and delivery of such shares to the custodian for deposit into our ADS
program, subject to the following conditions: (a) the depositary may accept deposit of those shares and issue the corresponding number of ADSs with regard to such deposit only if the total number of ADSs outstanding after the deposit does not exceed
the number of ADSs previously approved by the
21
Table of Contents
Securities and Futures Commission of the ROC, plus any ADSs issued pursuant to the events described in (1) and (2) above; and (b) this deposit may only be
made to the extent previously issued ADSs have been cancelled and the corresponding shares which are withdrawn from our ADS facility by holders have been sold in the domestic market in Taiwan.
Such limitations will not apply to the shares deliverable in the form of ADSs
immediately upon conversion of our Zero Coupon Convertible Bonds due 2004, for which such Securities and Futures Commission approval has already been obtained. As a result of the limited ability to deposit shares into our ADS program, the prevailing
market price of our ADSs on the New York Stock Exchange may differ from the prevailing market price of the equivalent number of our shares on the Taiwan Stock Exchange.
Holders of our ADSs will not have the same voting rights as the holders of our shares, which may affect the value of your investment.
Except as described in this annual report and in the
deposit agreement, holders of our ADSs will not be able to exercise voting rights attaching to the shares evidenced by our ADSs on an individual basis. Holders of our ADSs will appoint the depositary or its nominee as their representative to
exercise the voting rights attaching to the shares represented by the ADSs. The voting rights attaching to the shares evidenced by our ADSs must be exercised as to all matters brought to a vote of shareholders collectively in the same manner.
If holders of at least 51% of the ADSs outstanding at the
relevant record date instruct the depositary to vote in the same manner regarding a resolution, including election of directors and/or supervisors, the depositary will appoint our Chairman, or his designee, to represent the ADS holders at the
shareholders' meetings and to vote the shares represented by the ADSs outstanding in the manner so instructed. If by the relevant record date the depositary has not received instructions from holders of ADSs holding at least 51% of the ADSs to
vote in the same manner for any resolution, then the holders will be deemed to have instructed the depositary to authorize and appoint our Chairman, or his designee, to vote all the shares represented by ADSs at his sole discretion, which may not be
in your interest.
The rights of holders of our ADSs to participate in
our rights offerings may be limited, which may cause dilution to their holdings.
We may from time to time distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire our securities. Under the deposit agreement, the depositary will not offer those rights to ADS holders unless both the rights
and the underlying securities to be distributed to ADS holders are either registered under the Securities Act or exempt from registration under the Securities Act. We are under no obligation to file a registration statement with respect to any such
rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to cause such a registration statement to be declared effective. Accordingly, holders of our ADSs may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution in their holdings.
Our public shareholders may have more difficulty protecting their
interests than they would as shareholders of a US corporation.
Our corporate affairs are governed by our articles of incorporation and by laws governing ROC corporations. The rights of our shareholders to bring shareholders' suits against us or our board of directors under ROC law are much more
limited than those of the shareholders of US corporations. Therefore, our public shareholders may have more difficulty protecting their interests in connection with actions taken by our management, members of our board of directors or controlling
shareholders than they would as shareholders of a US corporation. Please refer to "Item 10. Additional Information—B. Memorandum and Articles of Association—Rights to Bring Shareholders' Suits" included elsewhere in this
annual report for a detailed discussion of the rights of our shareholders to bring legal actions against us or our directors under ROC law.

Holders of our ADSs will be required to appoint several local agents in Taiwan if they withdraw shares from our ADS
program and become our shareholders, which may make ownership burdensome.
Non-ROC persons wishing to withdraw shares represented by their ADSs from our ADS program and hold our shares represented by those ADSs are required under current ROC laws and regulations to appoint an agent, who also
serves as a tax guarantor, in Taiwan for filing tax returns and making tax payments on their behalf. A tax guarantor must meet certain qualifications set by the Ministry of Finance of the ROC and, upon appointment, becomes a guarantor of the
holder's ROC tax obligations. Holders wishing to repatriate profits derived from the sale of shares received upon the withdrawal of shares or cash dividends or interest derived from any such shares, will be generally required to submit evidence
of appointment of a tax agent and the approval of the appointment by the ROC tax authorities. We cannot assure you that you will be able to appoint and obtain approval for a tax agent in a timely manner.
Under ROC law and regulations, citizens of the People's Republic of
China are not permitted to hold our shares or withdraw shares represented by ADSs from our ADS program.
In addition, under current ROC law, holders of our ADSs who elect to withdraw our shares will be required to appoint a local agent in Taiwan to, among
other things, open a securities trading account with a local securities brokerage firm, remit funds and exercise shareholders' rights. They must also appoint a local bank to act as custodian for handling confirmation and settlement of trades,
safekeeping of securities and cash proceeds and reporting and declaration of information. Without this local agent, the custodian and the opening of the trading account, they will not be able to hold, sell or otherwise transfer our shares on the
Taiwan Stock Exchange.

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY
A. History
and Development of the Company
Our legal and commercial
name is United Microelectronics Corporation, commonly known as UMC. We were incorporated under the ROC Company Law as a company limited by shares in 1980 and our shares were listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange in 1985. Our principal executive office
is located at No. 3 Li-Hsin Road II, Science-Based Industrial Park, Hsinchu, Taiwan, Republic of China, and our telephone number is 886-3-578-2258. Our Internet Web site address is
www.umc.com
. The information on our Web site is not part of
this annual report. Our ADSs have been listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "UMC" since September 19, 2000.
We are one of the world's largest independent semiconductor foundries and a leader in semiconductor manufacturing process technologies. Our primary
business is the manufacture, or "fabrication," of semiconductors, sometimes called "chips" or "integrated circuits," for others. Using our own proprietary processes and techniques, we make chips to the design
specifications of our many customers. Our company maintains a diversified customer base across industries, including communication, consumer electronics, computer and memory, while continuing to focus on manufacturing for high growth, large volume
applications, including networking, telecommunications, Internet, multimedia, personal computers and graphics. We generate a significant amount of our operating revenues from customers who are in the communication, consumer electronics and computer
industries. We also manufacture several semiconductor memory products based on our customers' specifications. Our products for communication, consumer electronics, computer, memory and other applications generated 31.3%, 30.8%, 27.3%, 8.9% and
1.7%, respectively, of our net operating revenues for 2002. We focus on the development of leading mass-producible manufacturing process technologies. We were among the first in the foundry industry to go into commercial operation with such advanced
capabilities as producing integrated circuits with line widths of 0.25, 0.18 and 0.15 micron. Moreover, we have developed our own 0.13 micron and 90-nanometer process technologies with both fluoridated silicon glass, or FSG, and low-k dielectric
insulation as well as copper metal wiring layers. Our 0.18 micron and below technologies have contributed to approximately 26.7% of our total net operating revenues in 2002, compared to 18% in 2001. We believe such technologies will better serve the
needs of advanced customer chip designs with high performance and low power consumption. We set up a special development team in early 2002 with the primary focus on the 65-nanometer technology. In addition, our other development teams have been
developing technologies including silicon on insulator, or SOI, strained silicon devices and advanced modules such as high-k dielectric insulator, raised source and drain and advanced optical proximity correction, or OPC. We believe our superior
process technologies enable us to offer our customers significant performance, lead time, cost and other competitive advantages.
We provide high quality service based on our performance. We address our customers' needs using our advanced technology and proven methodology to
achieve fast cycle times, high yields, production flexibility and close customer communication. For example, we select and configure our clean rooms and equipment, and develop our processes, to maximize flexibility in meeting and adapting to rapidly
changing customer and industry needs. As a result, our cycle times, or the period from customer order to wafer delivery, and our responsiveness to customer request changes are among the fastest in the dedicated foundry industry. Our design service
team actively cooperates with the customers and vendors of libraries, cells and intellectual property offerings to identify early in the product cycle the offerings needed by our customers and to ensure that these coordinated offerings are available
to our customers in silicon verified form in a streamlined and easy to utilize manner. This enables a timely delivery of service offerings from the earliest times in the customer design cycle, resulting in shorter time-to-volume production. We also
provide high quality service and engineering infrastructure. We provide our customers with real-time Internet access to their confidential production data, resulting in superior communication and efficiency.
Our production capacity is comparable to that of the largest companies in the
semiconductor industry, and we believe our leading edge and high volume capability is a major competitive advantage. We have expanded our operations in Taiwan over the past several years. In 2002, we began volume production of 12-inch wafers at Fab
12A, our new 12-inch fab in Taiwan. Fab 12A currently has a monthly capacity of 8,000 12-inch wafers, equivalent to a monthly capacity of 18,000 8-inch wafers. We also have a controlling interest in UMCJ, formerly known as Nippon Foundry Inc., the
first dedicated foundry in Japan, which owns one 8-inch fab in Japan. Our interest in UMCJ gives our company proximity to some of the largest integrated device manufacturers in the world, such as
24
Table of Contents
Sony Corporation, and allows our company to offer them local outsourcing of semiconductor production. In March 2001, we entered into a foundry venture
agreement with EDB Investments Pte Ltd, the investment arm of the Singapore Economic Development Board, and Infineon Technologies AG to form UMCi Pte Ltd, or UMCi, a joint venture to construct and operate a 12-inch fab in Singapore's Pasir Ris
Wafer Fab Park. The facilities of UMCi are expected to employ advanced process technologies, ranging from 0.13 micron to 65-nanometer process technology. UMCi began to install equipment in January 2003, and plans to start pilot production by the end
of 2003 for the interconnect copper layers of line qualification.
Our technology and service have attracted three dominant types of foundry industry customers: fabless design companies, integrated device manufacturers and system companies. Fabless design companies design, develop and distribute
proprietary semiconductor products, but do not maintain internal manufacturing capacity. Instead, these companies depend on outside manufacturing sources. Integrated device manufacturers, in contrast, traditionally integrated all
functions—manufacturing as well as design, development, sales and distribution. System companies design and develop integrated circuits to be components within their end or intermediate products and generally do not maintain internal
manufacturing capacity. For example, system companies market and sell cellular telephones and/or Internet appliances into which they incorporate semiconductor products.
Our primary end customers, in terms of our sales revenues, include premier integrated device manufacturers, such as Advanced
Micro Devices, Inc., or AMD, Infineon, Philips (VLSI), Sony Corporation, STMicroelectronics Inc. and Texas Instruments; top line system companies, such as Ericsson Microelectronics AB; and leading fabless design companies, such as ATI Technologies
Inc., or ATI, Conexant Systems Inc., MediaTek Inc., Novatek Microelectronics Corp., Ltd., Qualcomm Incorporated, Realtek Semiconductor Corp. and Xilinx, Inc. For the year ended December 31, 2002, our company's top ten end customers accounted
for 53.2% of our net operating revenues. We believe our success in attracting these end customers is a direct result of our commitment to high quality service and our intense focus on customer needs and performance.
Our Strategy
To maintain and enhance our position as a market leader, we have adopted a business strategy with a focus on a partnership
business model, designed to accommodate our customers' business objectives and needs and to promote their interests as our partners. We believe that our success and profitability are inseparable from the success of our customers. The goal in
this business model is to create a network of partnerships or alliances among system and integrated device manufacturers, intellectual property and design houses, as well as foundry companies. We believe that our partners and we will benefit from
the synergy generated through such long-term partnerships or alliances and the added value to be shared among the partners. The key elements of our strategy are:
Build up Customer-focused Partnership Business Model.
We focus on building partnership relationships with our
customers, and we strive to help our customers achieve their objectives through intimate cooperation. Unlike the traditional buy-and-sell relationship between a foundry and its customer, we believe our partnership business model will help us
understand our customers' requirements, and accordingly better accommodate our customers' needs in a number of ways such as customized processing and services which optimize the entire value chain (not just the foundry portion) and
intellectual property-related support. We believe that this business model will enable us to deliver our service offerings to our customers at the earliest time our customers require for their design cycle, resulting in shorter time-to-market and
time-to-volume production. Furthermore, we believe we will render more cost-effective services by focusing our research and development expenditures on the specific requirements of our customers. We believe our partnership business model will help
us not only survive a market downturn, but also achieve a better competitive position.
Continue to Focus on High Growth Applications and Customers.
We believe one measure of a successful foundry company is the quality of its customers. We focus our sales and marketing on customers who are
established or emerging leaders in industries with high growth potential. Our customers include industry leaders such as AMD, ATI, Ericsson, Infineon, MediaTek, Oki, Realtek, SanDisk, Sharp, Sony, STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments and Xilinx. We
seek to maintain and expand our relationships with these companies. We strive to demonstrate to these customers the superiority and flexibility of our manufacturing, technology and service capabilities and to provide them with production and design
assistance. We are also making efforts to further diversify our customer portfolio in actively pursuing customers in the personal computer and graphics area in order
25
Table of Contents
to maintain a balanced exposure to different applications. We believe these efforts strengthen our relationships with our customers and enhance our
reputation in the semiconductor industry as a leading foundry service provider.
Maintain Our Leading Position in Mass-Producible Semiconductor Technology and Selectively Pursue Strategic Investments in New Technologies.
We believe that maintaining and enhancing our leadership in
mass-producible semiconductor manufacturing technologies is critical to attracting and retaining customers. Our reputation for technological excellence has attracted both established and emerging leaders in the semiconductor and system industries
who work closely with us on technology development. In addition, we believe our superior processing expertise has enabled us to provide flexible production schedules to meet our customers' particular needs. We plan to continue to build internal
research and development expertise, to focus on process development and to establish alliances with leading semiconductor companies to accelerate access to next generation technologies. We pioneered the use of copper interconnect metallurgies for
the dedicated foundry industry. These copper interconnect metallurgies allow higher conductivity and lower power consumption than traditional aluminum interconnects. In 2002, we began volume production using our advanced 0.13 micron copper
technology. Our extensive experience in the 0.13 micron process technology has helped smooth our transition to 90-nanometer pilot production. Many of the materials and techniques, including copper interconnects and low-k dielectric materials, that
were first used in connection with the 0.13 micron technology also apply to the 90-nanometer node. Our 90-nanometer process marks further advance in our technology achievements, incorporating up to 9 copper metal layers, triple gate oxide and other
advanced features. We believe our progress in the development of 90-nanometer manufacturing technology will benefit our customers in the fields of computer, communication, consumer electronics and others with special preferences in certain aspects
of the products, such as the ultimate performance, density and power consumption.
We also recognize every company has limited resources and that the foundry industry is ever-evolving. Accordingly, we believe we should invest in new research and development technology intelligently and in a
cost-effective manner to achieve the ultimate output of the resulting technology. In doing so, we balance (i) the rate of return of our research and development and (ii) the importance of developing a technology at the right time to enhance our
competitive edge without unduly diluting our profitability. We intend to avoid investments in technologies that do not present a commercial potential for immediate mass production. We believe that to develop the earliest and most advanced
semiconductor technology without regard to its potential for near term mass production may prove costly to our operations, while in the meantime, not strengthening our competitive position. We perceive a benefit to defer investment in the premature
equipment needed to claim the earliest advanced technology and instead to purchase a more advanced and less expensive version of equipment from vendors who design such equipment based on pre-production lessons learned from the earliest technology.
Maintain Scale and Capacity Capabilities to Meet
Customer Requirements, with a Focus on 12-inch Wafer Facilities for Future Expansion.
We believe that maintaining our foundry capacity with advanced technology and facilities is critical to the maintenance of our industry leadership. Our
production capacity is currently among the largest of all semiconductor foundries in the world. We intend to increase our 12-inch wafer production capacity to meet the needs of our customers and to fully capitalize on the expected growth of our
industry. Our future capacity expansion plans will focus on 12-inch wafer facilities in order to maintain our technology leadership. 12-inch wafers offer manufacturing advantages over 8-inch wafers because of the greater number of chips on each
wafer. In addition, 12-inch wafer facilities present a more cost-effective solution in achieving an economic scale of production. We intend to carefully monitor current market conditions in order to optimize the timing of our capital spending. In
2002, we began volume production at Fab 12A, in Tainan, Taiwan. In addition, we have begun installing equipment into our UMCi fab, a 12-inch fab joint venture with EDB Investments and Infineon. Our Fab 12A is expected to employ advanced 0.18 micron
to 90-nanometer process technologies, while the UMCi fab is expected to employ advanced 0.13 micron to 65-nanometer process technology. Although we currently do not have any investments in the People's Republic of China, we are currently
evaluating opportunities to expand our wafer fabrication business into the People's Republic of China. Our initial budget for purchases of semiconductor manufacturing equipment for 2003 is approximately US$500 million. Our efforts in increasing
our production capacity raised our total production capacity from approximately 175,000 8-inch wafer equivalents per month in December 1999 to approximately 257,000 8-inch wafer equivalents per month in December 2002. Our annual total production
capacity reached 2,978,000 8-inch wafer equivalents in 2002.

To maintain a leading position in the foundry business, we have placed great emphasis on achieving and maintaining a high standard of manufacturing
quality. As a result, we seek to design and implement manufacturing processes that produce consistent, high manufacturing yields to enable our customers to estimate, with reasonable certainty, how many wafers they need to order from us. In addition,
we continuously seek to enhance our production capacity and process technologies, two important factors that characterize a foundry's manufacturing capability. Our large production capacity and advanced process technologies enable us to provide
our customers with volume production and flexible and quick-to-market manufacturing services. All of our fabs operate 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Substantially all maintenance at each of the fabs is performed concurrently with production.

The capacity of a fab is determined based on the capacity ratings given by manufacturers of the equipment used in the fab, adjusted for, among other factors, actual output during
uninterrupted trial runs, expected down time due to set up for production runs and maintenance and expected product mix.

Class-10 means a standard of air purity under which the amount of dust is limited to fewer than ten particles of 0.1 micron or greater per cubic foot of air. Class-0.1 means a
standard of air purity under which the amount of dust is limited to fewer than 0.1 particle of dust per cubic foot of air. SMIF is an advanced system, which isolates and keeps clean the manufacturing environment surrounding integrated circuits
produced, rather than the entire plant. Manufacturers generally guarantee an SMIF environment to have less than one particle of 0.1 micron or greater per cubic foot of air.
In the fourth quarter of 2000, we completed construction of Fab 12A in
Tainan, Taiwan and began volume production at this 12-inch fab in 2002. Fab 12A currently has a capacity of 8,000 12-inch wafers per month, equivalent to 18,000 8-inch wafers per month.
In March 2001, we entered into a foundry venture agreement with EDB Investments and Infineon, relating to the formation of
UMCi, a joint venture in Singapore to construct and operate a 12-inch fab in Singapore's Pasir Ris Wafer Fab Park. UMCi began to install equipment in January 2003, and plans to start pilot production by the end of 2003 for the interconnect
copper layers of line qualification. When completed for commercial production, we expect that this fab will have a production capacity of 40,000 12-inch wafers per month.

Process Technology
Process technologies are the set of specifications and parameters that we implement for manufacturing the critical dimensions of the patterned features of
the circuitry of semiconductors. Our process technologies are currently among the most advanced in the foundry industry. These advanced technologies have enabled us to provide flexible production schedules to meet our customers' particular
needs.
The continued enhancement of our process technologies
has enabled us to manufacture semiconductor devices with smaller geometries, allowing us to produce more dice on a given wafer. For example, in 1997 we became one of the first foundries to produce semiconductor products using 0.25 micron process
technology, and in 1999 we were among the first foundries to offer 0.18 micron process services. In addition, we pioneered the use of copper
28
Table of Contents
interconnect metallurgies for the dedicated foundry industry. These copper interconnect metallurgies allow better reliability and higher conductivity than
traditional aluminum interconnects. We began volume production using 0.13 micron process technology in 2002. Our extensive experience in the 0.13 micron process technology has helped smooth our transition to 90-nanometer pilot production. Many of
the materials and techniques, including copper interconnects and low-k dielectric materials, that were first used in connection with the 0.13 micron process technology also apply to the 90-nanometer node. Our 90-nanometer process marks further
advance in our technology achievements, incorporating up to 9 copper metal layers, triple gate oxide and other advanced features. We believe our progress in the development of 90-nanometer process technology will benefit our customers in the fields
of computer, communication, consumer electronics, and others with special preferences in certain aspects of the products, such as the ultimate performance, density and power consumption.
The table below sets forth our actual process technology range, categorized
by line widths, or the minimum physical dimensions of the transistor gate of integrated circuits in production by each fab, for 2002, and the estimated annual full capacity of each fab, actual total annual output and capacity utilization rates for

We primarily
manufacture semiconductors using CMOS process. CMOS is the most widely used process technology because it requires lower power than other technologies and allows dense placement of components onto
29
Table of Contents
a single semiconductor. The low power consumption and high density characteristics of the CMOS process allow the continued development of high performance
semiconductors that are smaller and faster. We also manufacture semiconductors using BiCMOS technology, which combines bipolar's attribute of high speed with the high density and lower power consumption of CMOS.
In response to the growing trend in the market for system-on-chip, or SOC,
products, we have started to develop system integration technologies such as embedded memory macro, RF and mixed-signal processes, in order to accommodate the need of SOC designers.
Capacity
The fabs in Taiwan we own directly are named Fab 6A, Fab 8AB, Fab 8C, Fab 8D, Fab 8E and Fab 8F, all of which are located in the Hsinchu Science-Based
Industrial Park in Taiwan, and Fab 12A, which is located in the Tainan Science-Based Industrial Park in Taiwan. Fab 8AB consists of two modules, formerly named as Fab 8A and Fab 8B, respectively. We also have a controlling interest in UMCJ, which
owns one 8-inch fab in Japan. In early 2002, our previously named Fab 8D was combined with our research and development division. Therefore, we now also refer to such fab as Central R&D Fab, or CRD Fab. Fab 6A commenced production in 1989 and
Fab 8A (currently part of Fab 8AB) commenced production in 1995. In 1995, we established three foundry ventures with 11 leading fabless design companies, including Xilinx, Trident and Alliance, to establish state-of-the-art 8-inch fabs. We owned an
approximately 40% equity interest in each of these foundry ventures. Assisted by capital contributions made by our partners, we were able to expand our capacity quickly while reducing our capital risk. Three of our fabs, a fab formerly named Fab 8B
(currently part of Fab 8AB), Fab 8C and Fab 8D, were established under these foundry ventures and began commercial production in 1996, 1998 and 2000, respectively. The commencement of commercial operations of Fab 8D was delayed because of a fire in
1997 that substantially damaged the fab. In 1998, we obtained management control over UTEK Semiconductor, a publicly listed company in Taiwan, which operated an 8-inch fab that was later renamed Fab 8E, to further increase our capacity. Our capacity
increased further in the first quarter of 1999 when we acquired an approximate 52.3% in equity interest and management control of UMCJ.
Our future expansion plans will focus primarily on 12-inch wafer facilities in order to maintain our technology leadership. Although we currently do not
have any plan to expand our 8-inch capacity, we may from time to time evaluate all expansion opportunities that we believe will benefit our shareholders, including acquisition of other company's existing facilities, potentially including 8-inch
equipment and/or an 8-inch fab. In the fourth quarter of 2000, we completed construction of Fab 12A, a 12-inch fab in Tainan, Taiwan. We began volume production of 12-inch wafers at Fab 12A in 2002. Fab 12A currently has a capacity of 8,000 12-inch
wafers per month, equivalent to 18,000 8-inch wafers per month. In addition, we entered into a foundry venture agreement with EDB Investments and Infineon to form UMCi to construct and operate a 12-inch fab in Singapore's Pasir Ris Wafer Fab
Park. The facilities of UMCi are expected to employ advanced process technologies, ranging from 0.13 micron to 65-nanometer. UMCi began to install equipment in January 2003, and plans to start pilot production by the end of 2003 for the interconnect
copper layers of line qualification. When completed for commercial production, we expect that this fab will have a production capacity of 40,000 12-inch wafers per month.
We have endeavored to maintain and enhance our capacity utilization rates. Periodic industry downturns, such as the downturn
we experienced since late 2000, have had a material adverse effect on our and industry-wide utilization rates. However, we believe that our improved production efficiencies and greater diversification of customer base and product mix reduce our
susceptibility to such impact.
Equipment
Because the effectiveness and efficiency of our manufacturing processes
greatly depend on the quality and technology of our equipment, our policy is to purchase equipment that can fully utilize our existing and anticipated next-generation process technologies. The principal equipment we use to manufacture semiconductor
devices are steppers, cleaners and track equipment, inspection equipment, etchers, furnaces, wet stations, strippers, implanters, sputters, CVD equipment, probers and testers. Other than an immaterial amount of equipment we lease for the use of our
fabs in Taiwan, we own all of our equipment.
30
Table of Contents
Our policy on equipment purchases is to purchase from a small number of qualified vendors to assure
consistency. Due to this policy, our equipment is mostly of consistent quality and capable of delivering similar performance.
In implementing our capacity expansion and technology advancement plans, we expect to make a number of purchases of equipment required to provide foundry
services. Some of the equipment is available from a limited number of vendors and/or is manufactured in relatively limited quantities, and some equipment has only recently been developed. We believe that our relationships with equipment suppliers
are good and that we can leverage our position as a major purchaser of semiconductor manufacturing equipment to purchase equipment on better terms, including shorter lead times, than many other foundries.
Although we have not in the past experienced any material problems in
procuring the latest generation equipment on a timely basis, the expansion of fabrication facilities planned or announced by us and other semiconductor companies may put additional pressure on the supply of advanced equipment and maintenance
services for such equipment. In periods of unpredictable and highly diversified market demand, the lead times from order to delivery of such equipment can be as long as 6 to 12 months. We seek to manage this process through early reservation of
appropriate delivery slots and constant communications with our suppliers as well as by utilizing our good relationships with the vendors.
Raw Materials
Our manufacturing processes use many raw materials, primarily silicon wafers, chemicals, gases and various types of precious sputtering targets. These raw
materials, with the exception of wafers, are generally available from several suppliers. Our policy with respect to raw material purchases, similar to that for equipment purchases, is to procure materials from a small number of qualified vendors who
we believe produce high quality materials. We generally do not have any long-term supply contracts with our vendors.
Our general inventory policy is to maintain sufficient stock of each principal raw material for two-weeks' production and rolling forecasts of
near-term requirements received from customers. In addition, we have agreements with several key material suppliers under which they hold similar levels of inventory in their warehouses for our use. However, we are not under any obligation to
purchase raw material inventory that is held by our vendors for our benefit until we actually order it. We typically work with our vendors to forecast our raw material requirements on a quarterly basis, with indicative pricing generally set on a
quarterly basis. The actual purchase price is generally determined based on the prevailing market conditions. In the past, prices of our principal raw materials have not been volatile to a material degree. Although we have not experienced any
shortage of raw materials that had a material effect on our operations, and supplies of raw materials we use currently are adequate, shortages could occur in various critical materials due to interruption of supply or an increase in industry demand.
The most important raw material used in our production
processes is silicon wafer, which is the basic raw material from which integrated circuits are made. The principal suppliers for our wafers are Taisil, Shin-Etsu Handotai, or SEH, Komatsu Ltd. of Japan and MEMC Electronic Materials of Germany. We
have in the past obtained and believe that we will continue to be able to obtain a sufficient supply of silicon wafers. We believe that we have close working relationships with our wafer suppliers. Based on such long-term relationships, we believe
that these major suppliers will use their best efforts to accommodate our demand.
We use a large amount of water in our manufacturing process. We obtain water supplies from government-owned entities and recycle approximately 90% of the water that we use in production. We also use substantial
amounts of dual loop electricity supplied by Taiwan Power Corporation and Hsin Yu Energy Development Corporation in the manufacturing process. We maintain back-up generators that are capable of providing adequate amounts of electricity to maintain
the required air pressure in our clean rooms in case of power interruptions. In the meantime, we have chosen the more reliable uninterruptable power supply, or UPS, to cover power deficiency. During the past several years, we believe these new
devices have effectively prevented business interruption losses caused by power outages and emergency situations.

Quality Control
We believe that our advanced process technologies and reputation for high quality and reliable services and products have been important factors in
attracting and retaining leading international and domestic semiconductor companies as customers.
Our process technologies and fabrication facilities have been "qualified" by customers after satisfying stringent quality and reliability
standards. Generally our customers, in addition to conducting their own product qualifications, will perform on-site fab audits. These audits normally address quality management, documentation control, procurement and material incoming inspection,
process and material control, product final inspection, calibration and certification training systems. These audits include both data/record review and physical fabrication area tours for verification of conformity to specifications and procedures.
If the audit findings are satisfactory, then the fab facility is termed "qualified" for proceeding with further product qualification and later mass production. Most of our established customers, including AMD, ATI, Conexant, Ericsson,
Infineon, Motorola, Philips (VLSI), Qualcomm, Sharp, STMicroelectronics, Trident, Xilinx and 3Com, have audited our fabrication facilities and our fabs have successfully passed their qualification requirements.
Our policy is to implement quality control measures to ensure high production
yields at our facilities and production of reliable products for our customers. We test and monitor quality of raw materials, process and products at various stages in the manufacturing process before shipment to customers. Reliability assurance
also includes in-process wafer level reliability monitoring as well as packaged level reliability compliance check.
In addition, we maintain a Quality and Reliability Assurance Division in Taiwan with 313 engineers, technicians and other staff as of April 30, 2003. This
division is responsible for incoming materials quality inspection, in process quality audit, outgoing product quality inspection, quality system and standards maintenance, reliability assurance, reliability engineering and customer satisfaction.
All our Taiwan based fabs are QS-9000 certified and also
registered under the Year 2000 version of ISO9001. QS-9000 sets the criteria for developing a fundamental quality management system. It focuses on continuous improvement, defect prevention and the reduction of variation and waste. The Year 2000
version of ISO9001 emphasizes customer satisfaction and resource management.
Our Services and Products
We primarily engage
in wafer fabrication for foundry customers. To optimize fabrication services for our customers, we work closely with them as they finalize circuit design and contract for the preparation of masks to be used in the manufacturing process. We also
offer our customers turnkey services by providing them with subcontracted assembly and test services. We believe that this ability to deliver a variety of foundry services in addition to wafer fabrication enables us to accommodate the needs of a
full array of integrated device manufacturers, system companies and fabless design customers with different in-house capabilities.
Wafer manufacturing requires many distinct and intricate steps. Each step in the manufacturing process must be completed with precision in order for
finished semiconductor devices to work as intended. The processes require taking raw wafers and turning them into finished semiconductor devices generally through five steps: circuit design, mask tooling, wafer fabrication, assembly and test. The
services we offer to our customers in each of these five steps are described below.
Circuit Design.
At this initial design stage, our engineers generally work with our customers to ensure that their designs can be successfully and cost-effectively manufactured in our facilities. We have
assisted an increasing number of our customers in the design process by providing them with access to our partners' electronic design analysis tools, intellectual property and design services as well as by providing them with custom embedded
memory macro-cells. In our Silicon Shuttle program, we offer customers and intellectual property providers early access to actual silicon samples with their desired intellectual property and content in order to enable early and rapid use of our
advanced technologies. The Silicon Shuttle program is a multi-chip test wafer program that allows silicon verification of intellectual property elements. In the Silicon Shuttle program, several different vendors can test their
32
Table of Contents
intellectual property using a single mask set, greatly reducing the cost of silicon verification for us and the participating vendors. The high cost of masks
for advanced processes makes this program attractive to intellectual property vendors. ARM Limited, Artisan Components, MIPS Technologies International, Monolithic System Technology and Virtual Silicon Technologies have utilized our Silicon Shuttle
program. In our ASIC Plus program, we coordinate with leading suppliers of intellectual property, design and ASIC services to ensure their offerings are available to our customers in an integrated, easy to use manner which matches customers'
need to our technologies.
Mask Tooling.
Our engineers
generally assist our customers to design and/or obtain masks that are optimized for our advanced process technologies and equipment. Actual mask production is usually provided by independent third parties specializing in mask tooling.
Wafer Fabrication.
As described above, our manufacturing service
provides all aspects of the wafer fabrication process by utilizing a full range of advanced process technologies, including 0.15 and 0.13 micron technology and copper interconnect technology. We have also made a significant progress in developing
the advanced 90-nanometer and the SOC process technologies. We have been shipping customer products based on our 90-nanometer logic process since late March, 2003. During the wafer fabrication process, we perform procedures in which a photosensitive
material is deposited on the wafer and exposed to light through the mask to form transistors and other circuit elements comprising a semiconductor. The unwanted material is then etched away, leaving only the desired circuit pattern on the wafer. As
part of our wafer fabrication services, we also offer wafer probing services, which test, or "probe", individual die on the processed wafers and identify dice that fail to meet required standards. We prefer to conduct wafer probing
internally to obtain speedier and more accurate data on manufacturing yield rates.
Assembly and Test.
We offer our customers turnkey services by providing the option to purchase finished semiconductor products that have been assembled and tested. We outsource assembly and test services to
leading local assembly and test service providers, including Siliconware Precision Industries Co., Ltd. and Advanced Semiconductor Engineering Inc. in Taiwan. After final testing, the semiconductors are shipped to our customers' designated
locations.
Customers and Markets
Our primary end customers consist of fabless design companies, integrated
device manufacturers and system companies. Fabless design companies, including leading firms such as ATI, Conexant, MediaTek, Novatek, Qualcomm, Realtek, and Xilinx, have historically accounted for a majority of our revenues. We also provide our
services to integrated device manufacturers, such as AMD, Infineon, Philips (VLSI), Sony, STMicroelectronics and Texas Instruments, and system companies, such as Ericsson Microelectronics. The following table presents the percentages of our net

geographically based on the country or region in which the end customer is headquartered. When we initially began repositioning our operations as a pure foundry in 1995, a majority of our revenues had been derived from customers based in Taiwan, in
part due to Taiwan's fast growing electronics industry. Since 1995, partly due to our ventures with leading US fabless design companies, as well as our increasing marketing efforts in the United States, an increasing number of US fabless design
companies, integrated device manufacturers and system companies have been using our services. The following table presents a geographic breakdown of our net operating revenues, during the last three years:

Although we are not
dependent on any single customer, a significant portion of our net operating revenues have been generated from sales to a few customers. Our top ten end customers accounted for approximately 53.2% of our net operating revenues in 2002. MediaTek and
Xilinx, in particular, each accounted for more than 10% of our net operating revenues in 2002. We believe our success in attracting these end customers is a direct result of our commitment to high quality service and our intense focus on customer
needs and performance.
Our customers use our products for a
variety of applications, mainly communication, consumer electronics and computer. Our products for communication, consumer electronics, computer, memory and other applications generated approximately 31.3%, 30.8%, 27.3%, 8.9% and 1.7%, respectively,
of our net operating revenues in 2002.
We focus on providing a
high level of customer service in order to attract customers and maintain their ongoing loyalty. Our culture emphasizes responsiveness to customer needs with a focus on flexibility, speed and accuracy throughout our manufacturing and delivery
processes. Our customer-oriented approach is especially evident in two prime functional areas of customer interaction: customer design development and manufacturing services. We believe that our large production capacity and advanced process
technology enable us to provide better customer service than many other foundries through shorter turn-around time, greater manufacturing flexibility and higher manufacturing yields.
We seek to interact closely with customers throughout the design development and prototyping process. Our internal design
support team actively cooperates with our customers and vendors of libraries, cells and intellectual property offerings to identify the offerings needed by our customers and to ensure that these coordinated offerings are available to our customers
in silicon verified form in a streamlined and easy to utilize manner. This enables a timely delivery of service offerings from the earliest times in the customer design cycle, resulting in shorter time-to-volume production. We have entered into
alliances with several leading intellectual property vendors, such as Artisan Components, Faraday Technology Corporation, Monolithic System Technology, Inc., Virage Logic Corporation and Virtual Silicon Technology.
After a design moves into manufacturing production, we continue to provide
ongoing customer support through all phases of the manufacturing process. The local account manager teams with a dedicated customer service representative, drawing upon marketing and customer engineering support teams at the factory as required.
In 1996, we introduced our original on-line service, through
which we provided our customers secure access via the Internet to critical manufacturing data, including process step location, start date, estimated ship-out date and quantity as their products move through our fabs. In October 2000, we officially
launched our web-based customer information service system, known as "My UMC", which gives our customers easy access to our foundry services by providing a total online supply chain solution. My UMC offers 24-hour access to detailed
account information such as manufacturing, engineering and design information through each customer's own customized start page. Some of the features available to customers through My UMC include:
•
viewing the status of orders from the start of production to the final shipping stages;
•
viewing design layouts to shorten customers' tape out time;
•
gathering and downloading data for design purposes; and
34
Table of Contents
•
accessing online and in real-time the same manufacturing data used by our fab engineers.
My UMC provides our customers with a level of information previously enjoyed only by integrated device manufacturers that
conducted each step of the manufacturing and material procurement processes internally.
We are also currently in various stages of implementing a number of electronic business projects to enhance our ability to provide online business services to our customers. These projects include:
•
giving customers access to information and interactive tools on our website;
•
creating direct system-to-system links over the Internet which will permit our customers to electronically place orders directly with us; and
•
providing customers with design supports through our help desk and providing customer IP/Library information.
We price our products on a per die or per wafer basis, taking into account
the complexity of the technology, the prevailing market conditions, the order size, the cycle time, the strength and history of our relationship with the customer and our capacity utilization. Our main sales office is located in Taiwan, which is in
charge of our sales activities in Asia. Our sales in Europe are currently made through United Microelectronics (Europe) BV, a wholly-owned subsidiary of our company based in Amsterdam. Our sales in North America are made through UMC Group (USA), our
subsidiary located in Sunnyvale, California.
We designate a
portion of our wafer manufacturing capacity to some of our customers primarily under two types of agreements: reciprocal commitment agreements and deposit agreements. In a reciprocal commitment agreement, the customer agrees to pay for, and we agree
to supply, a specified capacity at a specified time in the future. In a deposit agreement, the customer makes in advance a cash deposit for an option on a specified capacity at our fabs for a similar period of time. Option deposits are credited to
wafer purchase prices as shipments are made. If this customer does not use the specified capacity, it will forfeit the deposit but, in certain circumstances and with our permission, the customer may arrange for a substitute customer to utilize such
capacity. We are also obligated in some cases to make available capacity to customers under other types of agreements, such as our capacity commitment arrangement with our venture partners as well as with Infineon in connection with our
technological alliance.
We advertise in trade journals,
organize technology seminars, hold a variety of regional and international sales conferences and attend a number of industry trade fairs to promote our products and services. We also publish a bi-monthly corporate newsletter for our customers.
Competition
The worldwide semiconductor foundry industry is highly competitive,
particularly during periods of overcapacity and inventory correction. We compete internationally and domestically with dedicated foundry service providers as well as with integrated device manufacturers and final-product manufacturers which have
in-house manufacturing capacity or foundry operations. Some of our competitors have substantially greater production, financial, research and development and marketing resources than us. As a result, these companies may be able to compete more
aggressively over a longer period of time than we can. In addition, several new dedicated foundries have commenced operations and compete directly with us. Any significant increase in competition may erode our profit margins and weaken our earnings.
We believe that our primary competitors in the foundry
services market are Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited and Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd., as well as the foundry operation services of some integrated device manufacturers such as IBM. New competitors such as Silterra
Malaysia Sdn. Bhd., 1
st
Silicon (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd., Semiconductor Manufacturing International (Shanghai)
Corporation and Grace Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp. have initiated efforts to develop substantial new foundry capacity, although much of such capacity involves less cost-effective production than the 12-inch fabs for
35
Table of Contents
which we possess technical know-how. New entrants in the foundry business are likely to initiate a trend of competitive pricing and create potential
overcapacity in legacy technology. The principal elements of competition in the semiconductor foundry industry include technical competence, production speed and cycle time, time-to-market, research and development quality, available capacity,
manufacturing yields, customer service and price. We believe that we compete favorably with other foundries on each of these elements, particularly our technical competence and research and development capabilities.
Intellectual Property
Our success depends in part on our ability to obtain patents, licenses and other intellectual property rights covering our
production processes and activities. To that end, we have acquired certain patents and patent licenses and intend to continue to seek patents on our production processes. In 2002, we filed 444 patent applications worldwide, 176 of which were filed
in the United States. Of the applications filed in the United States, 276 were issued by the end of 2002.
Our ability to compete also depends on our ability to operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others. The semiconductor industry is generally
characterized by frequent litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. As is the case with many companies in the semiconductor industry, we have from time to time received communications from third parties asserting patents
that cover certain of our technologies and alleging infringement of certain intellectual property rights of others. We expect that we will receive similar communications in the future. Irrespective of the validity or the successful assertion of such
claims, we could incur significant costs and devote significant management resources to the defense of these claims, which could seriously harm our company. There is no material litigation involving assertion of such claims currently pending against
us.
In order to minimize our risks from claims based on our
manufacture of semiconductor devices or end-use products whose designs infringe on others' intellectual property rights, we in general accept orders only from companies that we believe enjoy satisfactory reputation and for products that are not
identified as risky for potential infringement claims. Furthermore, we obtain indemnification rights from customers. We also generally obtain indemnification rights from equipment vendors to hold us harmless from any losses resulting from any suit
or proceedings brought against our company involving allegation of infringement of intellectual property rights on account of our use of the equipment supplied by them.
We have entered into various patent cross-licenses, joint development or research and development alliances with major
technology companies, including a number of leading international semiconductor companies such as Agere Systems, IBM, Infineon, Motorola and Texas Instruments. We may choose to renew our present licenses or to obtain additional technology licenses
in the future.
Environmental Matters
The semiconductor production process generates gaseous wastes, liquid
wastes, waste water and other industrial wastes in various stages of the manufacturing process. We have installed various types of anti-pollution equipment in our fabrication facilities to reduce, treat and, where feasible, recycle the wastes
generated in our manufacturing process. We receive assistance with disposal of industrial waste from the Hsinchu Science-Based Industrial Park Administration Bureau and Southern Taiwan Science-Based Industrial Park Administration. Our operations are
subject to regulation and periodic monitoring by Taiwan's Environmental Protection Administration and local environmental protection authorities.
We believe that we have adopted anti-pollution measures for the effective maintenance of environmental protection standards consistent with the practice
of the semiconductor industry in Taiwan. In 2002, we spent approximately NT$230 million for pollution control equipment, approximately NT$60 million for waste disposal and approximately NT$15 million for environmental monitoring. We also believe
that we are in compliance in all material respects with applicable environmental laws and regulations.
36

Environmental, Safety and Health Management Systems
We have implemented extensive environmental, safety and health management systems. These systems enable our operations to
identify applicable environmental, safety and health regulations, assist in evaluating compliance status and timely establish loss preventive and control measures. The systems we implemented in all our fabs in Taiwan have been certified as meeting
the ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 standards. ISO 14001 consists of a set of standards that provide guidance to the management of organizations to achieve an effective environmental management system. Programs are established at manufacturing locations
to ensure that all accidental spills and discharges are properly addressed. OHSAS 18001 is a recognizable occupational health and safety management system standard, which may be applied to assess and certify our management systems. Our goal in
implementing ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 systems is to continuously improve our environmental, health and safety management.
Litigation
As is the case with many companies in the semiconductor industry, we have from time to time received notices alleging infringement of intellectual
property rights of others and breach of warranties. We investigate and evaluate each of these notices. Except as described below, we are not currently involved in material litigation or other proceedings.
On December 4, 2000, we filed a complaint against Silicon Integrated Systems,
or SiS, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California with respect to certain intellectual property matters. In January 2001, we filed a petition with the United States International Trade Commission, or ITC, alleging
further matters against SiS. On March 12, 2003, we and SiS entered a final settlement in respect of the district court and ITC proceedings, and pursuant to that final settlement, filed requests for dismissals of the pending proceedings. Those
requests have been granted, and we and SiS have agreed to a Master Cross License Agreement on terms which require payment of compensation to UMC for the use of our intellectual property.
In 1997, Oak Technology Inc. filed a lawsuit against us in the US District Court for the Northern District of California,
and initiated a companion administrative law proceeding before the US International Trade Commission. Both actions claim patent infringement regarding certain types of CD-ROM controllers, and the District Court case also claims that we breached a
settlement we entered into with Oak Technology in connection with the same technology. The District Court case was stayed pending an outcome in the US International Trade Commission case. The US International Trade Commission Administrative Law
Judge found there was no infringement by us, and in September 1999, the US International Trade Commission affirmed this finding. Oak Technology appealed the US International Trade Commission's order on non-infringement to the Court of Appeals
for the Federal Circuit, which then unanimously affirmed the US International Trade Commission's order in May 2001. Based on the Federal Circuit's opinion and on a covenant not to sue filed by Oak, the declaratory judgment patent
counterclaims were dismissed from the district court case. However, Oak also seeks damages in excess of US$750 million on its breach of contract and other claims. Although we believe that Oak's claims are without merit, we intend to vigorously
defend the suit and pursue our counterclaims.
Risk Management
As our management believes that management of risks
involved in our manufacturing processes is an integral part of our management process and essential to our smooth and safe operation and production, we have endeavored to implement risk management strategies that are pioneering in the semiconductor
industry. In 1998, we established our risk management division to comprehensively plan for and respond to emergencies and disasters. This division is now managed by a team of experienced risk management personnel.
We have been working closely with internationally renowned risk consultants
in various fields to identify, analyze, and evaluate the risks commonly found in the semiconductor industry. These consultants include EQE International Inc. and VEC International Corp. in the area of seismic protection, Environmental and
Occupational Risk Management, Inc., or EORM, in the area of equipment safety management and American International Underwriters, Ltd., or AIU, or Marsh Risk Consulting, or MRC, in the area of loss control audit. We believe our risk evaluation
process will enable us to avoid or mitigate potential losses, and accordingly protect our company
37
Table of Contents
values. In 2001, based on the recommendation of EQE International Inc. and Vibration Engineering Consultants, we completed our seismic protection improvement
projects. In 2002, we achieved a number of risk management goals. Firstly, in order to minimize the business interruption risk, we established and maintained comprehensive and integrated business continuity management protocols, covering aspects
such as emergency response, crisis management and disaster recovery program. Secondly, we have implemented a new chemical and process risk evaluation procedure to ensure that all potential hazards with respect to new chemicals or processes are
eliminated or mitigated. For similar purposes, we have also established a SEMI S2 evaluation procedure in connection with critical process tools and supporting equipment in all our fabs. Furthermore, we completed a special risk management project
with regard to sprinkler replacement in two of our fabs, with the help from the voluntary replacement program provided by Central Sprinkler Company. Finally, in order to reduce potential losses during a power outage, we have built our own emergency
power supply system with the capacity to serve more than 60% of our production capacity.
Insurance
We maintain
industrial all risk insurance for our buildings, facilities, equipment and inventories. The insurance for fabs and their equipment covers physical damage and business interruption losses up to their respective policy limits except for exclusions as
defined in the policy. We also maintain public liability insurance for losses to third parties arising from our business operations. We believe that our insurance coverage is adequate to cover all major types of losses relevant to the semiconductor
industry practice. However, significant damage to any of our production facilities, whether as a result of fire or other causes, could seriously harm our business.
Capital Expenditures
For 2002, our principal capital expenditures, on an acquisition basis, consisted of the purchase of equipment of NT$29,732 million (US$857 million) and
the purchase of land and buildings of NT2,552 million (US$74 million). Our initial budget for purchases of semiconductor manufacturing equipment for 2003 is approximately US$500 million on an unconsolidated basis. We may adjust the amount of our
capital expenditures upward or downward based on cash flow from operations, the progress of our capital projects, market conditions, and our anticipation of future business outlook.
Our Investments
In the past, we focused our investments in the IC-related business, which we believed would advance our technologies, enhance our service and strengthen
our strategic alliance relationships. Pursuant to new investment guidelines, we plan to maintain our shareholdings in Unimicron Technology Corp., Faraday Technology Corp. and Silicon Integrated Systems because of these three companies'
strategic importance to our future operations and expansion. Depending on the market conditions, we intend to gradually reduce our other investments through secondary equity offerings, exchangeable bond offerings and other measures available to our
company. For example, we sold 80 million shares of AU Optronics Corp. in April 2002 in Taiwan and issued in May 2002 US$235 million exchangeable bonds due 2007, which are exchangeable, at the option of the bondholders, into the shares or American
depositary shares of AU Optronics. In early June 2002, we also sold 25 million AU Optronics shares in the form of AU Optronics ADSs in connection with the U.S. initial public offering of AU Optronics. In addition, on April 2, 2002, we transferred to
Hitachi all our equity interest in Trecenti, a joint venture with Hitachi to build and operate a 12-inch fab in Japan.
Unimicron Technology Corp., formerly known as World Wiser Electronics Incorporated, and a Taiwan-based manufacturer of printed circuit boards and high
density interconnections, was established in January 1980. We held a 37.95% stake in Unimicron Technology Corp. as of September 30, 2001. Unimicron Technology Corp., Bestmult Industry Co. and UniMicron Technology Co. completed the merger of the
three companies on October 31, 2001. Unimicron Technology Corp. was the surviving corporate entity and is expected to be one of the top three printed circuit board manufacturing companies in Taiwan. As of March 31, 2003, we held 36.28% in Unimicron
Technology. We were a founding investor in Faraday Technology, a company that offers advanced intellectual property and libraries to our foundry customers.

In connection with the settlement of our litigations with Silicon Integrated Systems, SiS, we and SiS
agreed in late 2002 to enter into a broad scope of cooperation, including, among other things, exchange of process patents, production support and our board representation in SiS. To further strengthen our relationship with SiS, we have also decided
to invest in SiS. As of March 31, 2003, we held 16.18% of SiS outstanding share capital. In addition, our representatives currently hold three out of seven board seats of SiS, and John Hsuan, our chief executive officer and vice chairman, is the
chairman of SiS.

Enforceability of Judgments in
Taiwan
We are a company limited by shares incorporated
under the ROC Company Law. Most of our assets and most of our directors, supervisors and executive officers and experts named in the registration statement are located in Taiwan. As a result, it may be difficult for you to enforce judgments obtained
outside Taiwan upon us or such persons in Taiwan.
We have been
advised by our ROC counsel that any judgment obtained against us in any court outside the ROC arising out of or relating to the ADSs will not be enforced by ROC courts without further review of the merits only if any of the following situations
shall apply to such final judgment:
•
the court rendering the judgment does not have jurisdiction over the subject matter according to ROC law;
•
the judgment is contrary to the public order or good morals of the ROC;
•
the judgment was rendered by default, except where we were personally served within the jurisdiction of the court rendering the judgment or where process was served on us with
judicial assistance of the ROC; or
•
judgments of ROC courts are not recognized and enforceable in the jurisdiction of the court rendering the judgment on a reciprocal basis.
C. Organizational Structure
In January 2000, we completed a merger in which United Integrated Circuits,
a subsidiary, and UTEK Semiconductor, United Silicon and United Semiconductor, our affiliates, were merged into United Microelectronics. Immediately prior to the merger, United Microelectronics and its consolidated subsidiaries owned approximately
61.6%, 12.5%, 38.8% and 42.5% of these entities, respectively, and had management control over each of them. We believe this merger has enhanced efficiencies, improved coordination and flexibility, minimized redundancies and achieved consistency in
pricing. As a result of the merger, United Microelectronics has been consolidating the business and operations of these companies for financial reporting purposes since January 3, 2000, except for United Integrated Circuits, which has been
consolidated since January 1, 1999.

Overview
We are one of the world's leading independent semiconductor foundries, providing comprehensive wafer fabrication services and technologies to our
customers based on their designs. We manage our business and measure our results of operations based on a single industry segment.
We have expanded our production capacity over the past several years, increasing our monthly capacity from 175,000 8-inch wafer equivalents in December
1999 on a combined basis to approximately 257,000 8-inch wafer equivalents in December 2002 on an actual basis. Our annual total production capacity reached 2,978,000 8-inch wafer equivalents in 2002. As a result of this increase in capacity, we
have benefited from larger economies of scale. The larger economies of scale when capacity utilization rate is high have better enabled us to reduce our per unit production cost, which improves margins. However, when capacity utilization rate is
low, this increased capacity has lead to higher per unit production cost and decreased margins.
To significantly expand our manufacturing capacity while reducing the amount of capital expenditures required to undertake the expansion, in 1995 we
invested in three foundry companies, United Semiconductor, United Silicon and United Integrated Circuits, together with a total of eleven international fabless design companies. We made an aggregate of NT$2,401 million, NT$5,583 million, NT$7,614
million, NT$2,023 million and NT$3,614 million of capital contributions to these three companies in 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively, representing a total capital investment of NT$21,235 million as of December 31, 1999. In return for
our capital investment, we initially held approximately 40% of each of these companies' equity interest. In 1999 we increased our shareholding in United Integrated Circuits from 43% to 62% through purchase of equity interests from some of our
partners. Our investments in these foundries have provided us with three additional 8-inch fabs. In addition, through these investment relationships we were also able to secure large amounts of orders from these partners and diversify our customer
base, which further lowered our investment risk.
We have also
acquired two unprofitable integrated device manufacturers and transformed them into dedicated foundries. In 1998, we purchased for NT$425 million approximately 2% of the equity interest of UTEK Semiconductor, a publicly listed company in Taiwan,
which operated one 8-inch fab and one 5-inch fab. In addition, in the first quarter of 1999, we acquired a 52.3% equity interest in UMCJ, formerly known as Nippon Foundry Inc., a publicly listed company in Japan, for NT$2,598 million. UMCJ operates
one 8-inch fab in Japan.
In April 2000, we sold our Fab 5A
with inventory and facilities and transferred related process technology know-how for approximately NT$1.6 billion. We sold Fab 5A to enhance our profitability as this fab had been less profitable than our other fabs due to its use of and reliance
on older technology. We recognized disposal gain and technology transfer revenues which totaled NT$581 million for this transaction in 2000.
To minimize redundancies and pricing inconsistencies associated with operating through five separate companies, on January 3, 2000, United
Microelectronics completed a merger in which each of UTEK Semiconductor, United Semiconductor, United Silicon and United Integrated Circuits was merged into United Microelectronics. The total purchase price of the merger was valued at approximately
NT$42,543 million. In this section, we refer to these transactions as the merger and, unless otherwise specified, the historical financial data discussed herein refers to United Microelectronics' consolidated financial data.
In March 2001, we entered into a foundry venture agreement with EDB
Investments and Infineon, relating to the formation of UMCi, to construct and operate a 12-inch fab in Singapore's Pasir Ris Wafer Fab Park. The facilities of UMCi are expected to employ advanced 0.13 micron to 65-nanometer process
technologies. UMCi began to install equipment in January 2003, and plans to start pilot production by the end of 2003 for the interconnect copper layers of line qualification. When completed for commercial production, we expect that this fab will
have a production capacity of 40,000 12-inch wafers per month. The expected total capital expenditure for this foundry venture is approximately US$3.6 billion, which is expected to be financed by equity contributions, external sources of financing,
government grants and, to a lesser extent, cash generated from operations. As of March 31, 2003, we had invested US$161 million in UMCi and held a 49.74% equity interest in UMCi. In addition, through a voting rights and proxies agreement with
Infineon and UMCi, we have voting control over an additional 15% of the ordinary shares of UMCi. Currently, our directors Robert H.C. Tsao, John Hsuan, Peter Chang and Chris Chi are directors of UMCi, and together constitute a majority of the board
of directors of UMCi.

In February 2000, we formed Trecenti Technologies, Inc., a joint venture with Hitachi to build and
operate a 12-inch fab in Japan. Under the joint venture agreement, we held a 40% equity interest in Trecenti and had the right to use half of Trecenti's 12-inch fab's capacity. As of February 28, 2002, we and Hitachi agreed to discontinue
the joint venture. We transferred all our 40% equity interest in Trecenti to Hitachi on April 2, 2002 and recognized a gain of NT$1,397 million (US$40 million) in 2002 in connection with the sale of Trecenti shares. Under our agreement with Hitachi
concerning the transfer of our Trecenti shares, we surrender our rights to use capacity in Trecenti and have no further obligations to invest in the Trecenti facility.
We closed our licensed product division in August 2001. In the past, through our licensed product division, we manufactured
and distributed semiconductor devices, primarily memory products in final packaged form, based on designs that we licensed from our customers. We closed our licensed product division primarily to prevent losses in the memory market and, to a lesser
extent, to avoid competing with our memory customers. The losses associated with the closure of our licensed product division have been totally accounted for and should not affect our income in the future.
Cyclicality of the Semiconductor Industry
As the semiconductor industry is highly cyclical, revenues varied
significantly over this period. It can take several years to plan and construct a fab and bring it to operations. Therefore, during periods of favorable market conditions, semiconductor manufacturers often begin building new fabs in response to
anticipated demand growth for semiconductors. In addition, after commencement of commercial operations, fabs can increase production volumes rapidly. As a result, large amounts of semiconductor manufacturing capacity typically become available
during the same time period. Absent a proportional growth in demand, this increase in supply often results in semiconductor manufacturing overcapacity, which has led to sharp drops in semiconductor prices and significant capacity underutilization.
Between 1999 and 2000, as global semiconductor demand
experienced substantial growth, our average selling price of semiconductor wafers and devices during that period increased. In connection with this increase in demand and selling price, several semiconductor manufacturers, including our company,
announced plans to significantly expand production capacities. However, the semiconductor industry has experienced a downturn since late 2000, which resulted in overcapacity, excess inventory and reduced demand. Such industry downturn had
substantially slowed down those expansion plans. Our capacity utilization rate, which was 100% in 2000, decreased to 47% in 2001, due to rapidly deteriorating demand, mainly from our customers in the communication sector. As the worldwide
semiconductor industry began to stabilize, our capacity utilization rate increased to 65% in 2002 due to increased demand from the consumer electronics and wireless communication businesses. We believe that our results in 2001 and 2002 reflect the
ongoing uncertainty in the global economy, conservative corporate information technology spending and low visibility with respect to end market demand.
Pricing
We price our products on either a per die or a per wafer basis, taking into account the complexity of the technology, the prevailing market conditions, the order size, the cycle time, the strength and history of our
relationship with the customer and our capacity utilization. Because semiconductor wafer prices tend to fluctuate frequently, we in general review our pricing on a quarterly basis. As a majority of our costs and expenses are fixed or semi-fixed,
fluctuations in our products' average selling prices historically have had a substantial impact on our margins. Our average selling price declined approximately 7% from 2001 to 2002, mainly due to substantial pricing pressure.
We believe that our current level of pricing is comparable to that of other
leading foundries in each respective geometry. We believe that our ability to provide a wide range of advanced foundry services and process technologies as well as large manufacturing capacity will enable us to compete effectively with other leading
foundries at a comparable price level.

Table of Contents
Capacity Utilization Rates
Our operating results are characterized by relatively high fixed costs. In 2000, 2001 and 2002, approximately 78.2%, 82.5%
and 85.8%, respectively, of our manufacturing costs mainly consisted of depreciation, indirect material costs, amortization of license fees and indirect labor costs. If we increase our utilization rates, our costs would be allocated over a larger
number of units, which generally leads to lower unit costs. As a result, our capacity utilization rates can significantly affect our margins. Our utilization rates have varied from period to period to reflect our production capacity and market
demand. The utilization rate of our operations was 100%, 47% and 65% in 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively. The utilization rate decline in 2001 was due to rapidly deteriorating demand, mainly from our customers in the communication sector. The
increase in our utilization rate in 2002 was due to the slight upturn of the semiconductor industry in response to an increase in output of the consumer electronics and wireless communication industries. Utilization rates can also be affected by
efficiency in production facility and product flow management. Other factors affecting utilization rates are the complexity and mix of the wafers produced, overall industry conditions, the level of customer orders, mechanical failure, disruption of
operations due to expansion of operations, relocation of equipment or disruption of power supply and fire or natural disaster.
Our production capacity is determined by us based on the capacity ratings given by manufacturers of the equipment used in the fab, adjusted for, among
other factors, actual output during uninterrupted trial runs, expected down time due to set up for production runs and maintenance and expected product mix. Because these factors include subjective elements, our measurement of capacity utilization
rates may not be comparable to those of our competitors.
Change in Product
Mix and Technology Migration
Because the price of wafers
processed with different technologies varies significantly, the mix of wafers that we produce is among the primary factors that affect our revenues and profitability. The value of a wafer is determined principally by the complexity of the processing
technology used to produce the wafer. Production of devices with higher levels of functionality and greater system-level integration requires more manufacturing steps and generally commands higher wafer prices. The increase in price generally has
more than offset associated increases in production cost once an appropriate economy of scale is reached.
Prices for wafers of a given level of technology generally decline over the processing technology life cycle. As a result, we have continuously been
migrating to increasingly sophisticated technologies to maintain the same level of profitability. For instance, we are among the first foundries to produce chips using 0.13 micron technology. In addition, we and Infineon are jointly developing
90-nanometer copper interconnect process technologies in 2003. These types of technology migration require continuous capital and research and development investment. Because developing and acquiring advanced technologies involve substantial capital
investment, we expect to continue to spend a substantial amount of capital on upgrading our technologies.
Manufacturing Yields
Manufacturing yield per wafer is measured by the number of functional dice on that wafer over the maximum number of dice that can be produced on that wafer. A small portion of our products is priced on a per die basis, and our high
manufacturing yields have assisted us in achieving higher margins. In addition, with respect to products that are priced on a per wafer basis, we believe that our ability to deliver high manufacturing yields generally has allowed us to either charge
higher prices per wafer or attract higher order volumes, resulting in higher margins.
We continuously upgrade our process technologies. At the beginning of each technological upgrade, the manufacturing yield utilizing the new technology is generally lower, sometimes substantially lower, than the yield
under the current technology. The yield is generally improved through the expertise and cooperation of our research and development personnel and process engineers, as well as equipment and at times raw material suppliers. Our policy is to offer
customers new process technologies as soon as the new technologies have passed our internal reliability tests.

Investments
In addition to making investments to enhance our capacity, technology, and service, we have also made a significant number of strategic investments in
other entities. See "Item 4. Information on this Company – Our Investments." Most of these investments were made to either improve our market position or strengthen relationships with our major shareholders. A significant portion of
these investments is currently held by Hsun Chieh, an investment company that was 99.97% owned by United Microelectronics as of March 31, 2003. In addition, we formed UMC Capital Corporation in April 2001 for the purpose of making investments in
semiconductor-related startup companies. As of March 31, 2003, the paid-in capital of UMC Capital amounted to US$30 million.
Substantially all of our investments are long-term investments, a significant portion of which was in foundry-related companies including fabless design
customers, raw material suppliers and intellectual property vendors. In addition, we also invest in nonfoundry-related business, such as Mega Financial Holding Company. In recent years, we have from time to time disposed of our long-term investments
for financial, strategic or other purposes. However, we plan to maintain our shareholdings in Unimicron Technology Corp., Faraday Technology Corp. and Silicon Integrated Systems because of our strategic considerations. Depending on the market
conditions, we intend to gradually reduce our other investments through all measures available to our company. For example, we sold 80 million shares of AU Optronics Corp. in April 2002 in Taiwan and issued US$235 million exchangeable bonds due 2007
in the second quarter of 2002, which are exchangeable, at the option of the bondholders, into the shares or American depositary shares of, AU Optronics. In early June 2002, we also sold 25 million AU Optronics shares in the form of AU Optronics ADSs
in connection with the U.S. initial public offering of AU Optronics. In addition, in April 2002, we transferred to Hitachi all our 40% equity interest in Trecenti and recognized a gain of NT$1,397 million (US$40 million) in 2002 in connection with
the sale. Gains from disposal of our long-term investments in 2002, which were offset by our investment losses in the same year, were NT$7,541 million (US$217 million).
Treasury Share Programs
On December 22, 2000, we announced a plan, which was not binding on us, to buy back up to 400 million of our shares on the Taiwan Stock Exchange at a
price range of NT$32 to NT$78 per share between December 27, 2000 and February 26, 2001. As of February 26, 2001, we had purchased 37 million of our shares under this plan at an average purchase price of NT$45.88 per share.
On February 26, 2001, we announced a plan, which was not binding on us, to

On July 31, 2001, we announced a plan, which was not binding on us, to buy back up to 130 million of our shares on the
Taiwan Stock Exchange at a price range of NT$28 to NT$63 per share between August 1, 2001 and September 30, 2001. As of September 30, 2001, we had purchased 129 million of our shares under this plan at an average purchase price of NT$33.81 per
share.
On February 19, 2002, we announced a plan, which was
not binding on us, to buy back up to 100 million of our shares on the Taiwan Stock Exchange at a price range of NT$31 to NT$71 per share between February 20, 2002 and April 19, 2002. As of April 19, 2002, we had purchased 49.11 million of our shares
under this plan at an average purchase price of NT$44.35 per share.
On August 9, 2002, we announced a plan which was not binding on us, to buy back up to 20.69 million of our shares on the Taiwan Stock Exchange at a price range of NT$21 to NT$54 per share between August 12, 2002 and
October 11, 2002. As of October 11, 2002, we had purchased 20.69 million of our shares under this plan at an average purchase price of NT$27.16 per share.
In addition, on March 4, 2003, we announced a plan which was not binding on us, to buy back up to 500 million of our shares on the Taiwan Stock Exchange
at a price range of NT$13.8 to NT$31.0 per share between March 5,
45

2003 and May 4, 2003. As of May 4, 2003, we had purchased approximately 99.2 million shares under this plan at an average purchase price of NT$20.74 per
share.
Critical Accounting Policies
General
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial
statements included in the annual report, which have been prepared in accordance with ROC GAAP. ROC GAAP varies in certain significant respects from US GAAP. These differences and their effects on our financial statements are described in note 28 to
our audited consolidated financial statements included in this annual report. The preparation of our audited consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an on-going basis and base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances; the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following critical
accounting policies involve significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our audited consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when title and liability for risk of loss or damage to the products have been transferred to the customers usually upon shipment. In
the same year sales are recognized, we also make accruals for sales discounts and returns taking into consideration customers' complaints and historical experience. As the allowances are accrued based on management's estimates and
judgment, reported revenues may differ due to changes in the estimates.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on the evaluation of collectibility and aging analysis of accounts and on management's judgment. In circumstances where the ability of a specific customer to
meet its financial obligations is in doubt, a specific allowance will be provided. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the ultimate realization of these receivables including the current credit-worthiness and the past
collection history of each customer. If the financial conditions of our customers were to worsen, additional allowances may be required. A deterioration of economic conditions either in ROC or in other major overseas markets may contribute to the
deterioration of financial conditions of our customers, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments. The allowances for doubtful accounts accounted for 1.6% and 0.9% of our accounts receivables, respectively, as of December 31, 2001
and 2002.
Inventory
Inventories are recorded at cost when acquired and stated at the lower of
aggregate cost, based on the weighted average method, or market value at the balance sheet date. The market values of raw materials and supplies are determined on the basis of replacement cost while net realizable values determined by the average
selling price of the most recent periods are used as market values of work-in-process and finished goods. In addition, allowances for obsolete and slow-moving inventories are determined by analyzing the age of inventories and estimated future sales,
among other things.
Deferred Taxes
We recognize all existing future tax benefits principally from investment
tax credits as deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance is then recorded to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that we believe will more likely than not be realized. The assessment of the valuation allowance involves subjective
assumptions and estimates as it
46
Table of Contents
principally depends on the estimation of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. If future taxable income is lower
than expected due to future market conditions or other reasons or in the event we determine that we will not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to our deferred tax assets valuation allowance
may be required with the adjusting amount charged to income in this period. Likewise, should we determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of our net recorded amount, an adjustment to our deferred tax
assets valuation allowance would increase income in this period.
Goodwill
Impairment
Under US GAAP, we have performed the required
goodwill impairment test during the year as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. No impairment was identified for the year. In assessing the recoverability of our goodwill, we
have to make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets. If these estimates and the related assumptions change the fair value of these assets in the future, we may need to
record impairment charges accordingly. We will make regular impairment tests on an annual basis in the future. If events occur or circumstances change between annual tests that would more likely than not affect the recoverability of the goodwill,
such as a significant adverse change in the business climate, an unanticipated competition, or a significant decline in our market capitalization in relation to net book value, we will perform additional interim tests and impairment loss will be
recorded when required.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Under US GAAP, as required by SFAS No.144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, we review our long-lived assets that are held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the long-lived assets might not be recoverable. In other words, we
will assess the need for any impairment write-down only if information indicates that an impairment might exist. Such information may include a significant decrease in market value of long-lived assets or a significant deterioration of market
conditions such that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recovered through future cash flows. No impairment indicators were noted for the year. However, if future information indicates a potential impairment and we determine that the
estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the assets, an impairment loss will be recognized. The estimates of future cash flows will be based on the estimated useful life, cash flow generating capacity, physical
output capacity and other assumptions of the use of our long-lived assets.
Pensions
We have significant pension benefit
costs and liabilities that are developed from actuarial valuations. Inherent in these valuations are key assumptions including discount rates and expected return on plan assets. We consider current market conditions, including changes in interest
rates, in selecting these assumptions. Changes in the related pension costs or liabilities may occur in the future in addition to changes resulting from fluctuations in our related headcount due to changes in assumptions. A decrease of 0.75% point
in the discount rate and expected return on plan assets respectively would increase the total pension expense by approximately NT$102 million in 2002.
Valuation of Marketable Securities and Long-term Investments
Under ROC GAAP, we classify marketable securities as trading or long-term investments depending on management's intent to hold the security for
long-term purposes. Long-term investments are in public and non-public entities and trading securities are in public entities or mutual funds with a readily determinable market value. We periodically evaluate long-term investments based on market
prices, if available, cash flows, other impairment indicators and sales price of stock to third parties and record impairment adjustments as required. Trading securities are stated at the lower of aggregate cost or market value.
Under US GAAP, marketable securities are classified as available for sale
securities and changes in market value thereof are recorded in other comprehensive income. We periodically evaluate the carrying value of these
47
Table of Contents
securities and record a charge against earnings to the extent that any decline in the value of a security below cost is determined to be other than
temporary.
Embedded Derivatives
Under US GAAP, the derivative instruments embedded in our first exchangeable
bond issued in May 2002 and in our investments in three convertible bonds are bifurcated and separately accounted for under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The exchange and conversion options bifurcated
were accounted for as freestanding instruments with the changes in fair value included in earnings. The fair value of the options is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires us to make subjective assumptions such as
expected volatility of the stock over the option's life and expected life of the option, among other things. In determining the input assumptions, we take historical trends and data together with judgment of professionals and objective
expectation of the management into consideration. Because the model is quite sensitive to changes in the input assumptions, different fair value estimates may result depending on different assessment of the required inputs.
Employee Stock Options
As we have issued our employee stock options during the year, pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per
share is required by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation under US GAAP. The pro forma net income is determined as if the fair value of our employee stock options was included as compensation expense for the year. In estimating the
fair value of the stock options, the Black-Scholes option pricing model is used as well. As discussed in the preceding paragraph, the use of the valuation model requires the input of subjective assumptions. In assessing the required inputs, we use
historical records wherever available such as past dividend yields and historical volatility. Since this is our first issue of employee stock options, we do not have actual experience when employees could be expected to exercise their options. As
such, we use mid-points for the estimation of expected life of options. As discussed above, different assessments of the input assumptions may lead to different fair value estimates, which in turn may affect our pro forma net income disclosed as
compensation expense.
A. Operating Results
Consolidation
Unlike US GAAP, ROC GAAP does not require us to consolidate subsidiaries whose assets and operating revenues are less than
10% of our non-consolidated assets and operating revenues, respectively. See note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements. As a result, our consolidated financial statements prepared under ROC GAAP do not include the financial results of
Fortune Venture Capital Corporation, United MicroMachining Corporation and United Foundry Services Inc. for 2000; Fortune Venture Capital Corporation, United Foundry Services Inc. and UMC Capital Corporation for 2001; and Fortune Venture Capital
Corporation, United Foundry Services Inc., UMC Capital Corporation and United Microelectronics Corp. (Samoa) for 2002, each of which is a consolidated subsidiary under US GAAP. In the aggregate, these subsidiaries had net operating revenues equal to
approximately nil of our consolidated revenues for each of the year ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002.
Net operating revenues
We generate our net operating revenues primarily from fabricating semiconductor devices. We also derive a small portion of our net operating revenues from
wafer probe services that we perform internally as well as mask tooling services and assembly and test services that we subcontract out.
Costs of goods sold
Our costs of goods sold consist principally of:
48
Table of Contents
•
overhead, including depreciation and maintenance of production equipment, indirect labor costs, indirect material costs, supplies, utilities and royalties;
•
wafer costs;
•
direct labor costs; and
•
service charges paid to subcontractors for mask tooling, assembly and test services.
Due to the increasing expenditures related to the purchase of equipment and the construction of new fabs, our total
depreciation expenses have increased from NT$24,403 million in 2000 to NT$34,390 million in 2001 and to NT$36,568 million (US$1,054 million) in 2002.
Operating expenses
Our operating expenses consist of the following:
•
Sales and marketing expenses.
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel expenses, wafer sample costs, intellectual property development
expenses and related marketing expenses. Wafer samples are actual silicon samples of our customers' early design ideas made with our most advanced processes and provided to those customers.
•
General and administrative expenses.
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries for our administrative, finance and human resource personnel, fees for
professional services, and cost of computer and communication systems to support our operations. We have incurred additional expenses associated with being a US public company since September 2000, including costs of directors' and
officers' insurance and increased legal and accounting fees.
•
Research and development expenses.
Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for process and technology research and development,
technology license fees allocated to research and development and depreciation and maintenance on the equipment used in our research and development efforts.
Non-operating income and expenses
Our non-operating income principally consists of:
•
interest income, which has been primarily derived from time deposits; and
•
gain on disposal of investments, which has been primarily derived from our disposal of long-term investments.
Our non-operating expenses principally consist of:
•
interest expenses, which have been primarily derived from long-term debt; and
•
investment loss, which has been primarily derived from net losses of the investee companies.
Taxation
Based on our status as a company engaged in the semiconductor business in Taiwan, we have been granted exemptions from income taxes in Taiwan with respect
to income attributable to capital increases for the purpose of purchasing equipment related to the semiconductor business for a period of four years following each such capital increase. This tax exemption resulted in tax savings of approximately
NT$3,890 million, nil and nil in 2000, 2001
49
Table of Contents
and 2002, respectively. As of January 30, 2001, the administrative regulations of the Hsinchu Science-Based Industrial Park revoked the preferential tax rate
of 20%. Our current tax rate is 25%, the same rate applicable to companies outside the Industrial Park.
We also benefit from other tax incentives generally available to technology companies in Taiwan, including tax credits applicable against corporate income
tax that range from 25% to 50% of the amount of certain research and development and employee training expenses and 5% to 20% of the amount of investment in certain qualified equipment and technology. These tax incentives resulted in tax savings of
approximately NT$4,493 million, NT$1,834 million and nil in 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively.
After taking into account of the tax exemptions and tax incentives discussed above, we recorded NT$91 million and NT$3,040 million of income tax benefit in 2000 and 2001, respectively. We recorded NT$271 million (US$8
million) tax expenses in 2002 and our effective income tax rate in 2002 is 3.86%.
As a result of the merger, losses carried forward of the merged entities, which totaled approximately NT$795 million as of December 31, 1999, were eliminated. However, subject to ROC law, we will be entitled to tax
credits which were previously available to the merged entities.
In 1997, the ROC Income Tax Law was amended to integrate corporate income tax and shareholder dividend tax to eliminate the double taxation effect for resident shareholders of Taiwan companies. Under the amendment, all retained earnings
generated from January 1, 1998 and not distributed to shareholders as dividends in the following year will be assessed a 10% retained earnings tax. See "Item 10. Additional Information—E. Taxation—ROC Tax
Considerations—Dividends". As a result, if we do not distribute all of our annual retained earnings generated after January 1, 1998 as either cash and/or stock dividends in the following year, these earnings will be subject to the 10%
retained earnings tax.

Net operating revenues.
Net operating
revenues increased by 8.0% from NT$69,817 million for 2001 to NT$75,425million (US$2,173million) for 2002, primarily as a result of the rise in sales quantities. Although our average selling price of wafers declined by 6.9% on a consolidated basis,
the number of wafers sold rose by 15.2% in 2002.
50
Table of Contents
Cost of goods sold.
Cost of goods sold increased by 3.8% from NT$60,568 million for 2001 to
NT$62,887 million (US$1,812 million) for 2002. The marginal increase in cost of goods sold, compared to the magnitude of the increase in net operating revenues, contributed to the improvement in utilization rate from 47% in 2001 to 65% in 2002, and
resulted in lower cost per unit sold.
Gross
profit and gross margin.
Gross profit increased by 35.6% from NT$9,249 million for 2001 to NT$12,538 million (US$361 million) for 2002. Gross margin increased from 13.2% for 2001 to 16.6% for 2002. The increase in gross margin was due to
lower cost per unit, as a result of larger production and sales volumes and higher utilization rate.
Operating income (loss) and operating margin.
We generated an operating loss of NT$6,412 million for 2001 compared to an operating income of
NT$112 million (US$3 million) for 2002. Our operating margin was –9.2% and 0.1%, respectively, for these two years. Operating expenses decreased by 20.7% from NT$15,661 million for 2001 to NT$12,426 million (US$358 million) for 2002.
Sales and marketing expenses
Our sales and marketing expenses decreased by 32.9% from NT$2,276 million
for 2001 to NT$1,527 million (US$44 million) for 2002. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses was mainly due to the decrease in sample expenses.
Our sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of our net operating revenues decreased from 3.3% for 2001 to 2.0% for 2002.
General and administrative expenses
Our general and administrative expenses decreased by 20.2% from NT$4,425
million for 2001 to NT$3,531 million (US$102 million) for 2002 largely due to the decrease of Fab12A start-up costs in 2002. Fab12A start-up costs were classified as general and administrative expenses before Fab12A started volume production in June
2002.
Our general and administrative expenses as a percentage
of our net operating revenues decreased from 6.3% for 2001 to 4.7% for 2002.
Research and development expenses
Our research and development expenses decreased by 17.8% from NT$8,960 million for 2001 to NT$7,368 million (US$212 million) for 2002. The decrease in research and development expenses resulted primarily from a
decrease in expenses related to the joint development project with IBM due to the early completion of the project.
Our research and development expenses as a percentage of our net operating revenues decreased from 12.8% for 2001 to 9.8% for 2002.
The increase in operating margin is largely due to the increase in gross
margin, and the decreases in sales and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses, as percentages of our net operating revenues.
Net non-operating income (expense).
Net non-operating results increased from a net non-operating expense of
NT$154 million for 2001 to a net non-operating income of NT$6,904 million (US$199 million) for 2002 mainly due to an increase in gain on disposal of investments and a decrease in investment loss. Gain on disposal of investments increased from
NT$2,347 million for 2001 to NT$8,473 million (US$244 million) for 2002 mainly due to disposal of our investments in AU Optronics Corp., MediaTek and Trecenti. Investment loss decreased from NT$1,828 million for 2001 to NT$932 million (US$27
million) for 2002, primarily due to a decrease in the recognition of net operating losses of Trecenti and AU Optronics Corp. We transferred all our 40% equity interest in Trecenti to Hitachi in April 2002 and stopped recognizing the operating losses
with respect to Trecenti accordingly. In addition, we changed our accounting method for our investment in AU Optronics Corp. from the equity method to lower cost
51
Table of Contents
or market value method and need not recognize operating losses with respect to AU Optronics Corp. for 2002 since we were not able to exercise significant
influence over AU Optronics Corp. starting from the third quarter of 2001.
Net income.
Due to the factors described above, we incurred a net loss of NT$3,157 million for 2001, compared to a net income of NT$7,072 million (US$204 million) for 2002.
2000 compared with 2001
Net operating revenues.
Net operating revenues decreased by
39.6% from NT$115,609 million for 2000 to NT$69,817 million for 2001. The decrease in net operating revenues was due primarily to a significant decrease in wafer shipments resulting from the reduced demand for our products and services and to
changes in the product mix demanded by our customers.
Cost of goods sold.
Cost of goods sold increased by 5.5% from NT$57,411 million for 2000 to NT$60,568 million for 2001. The increase in cost of goods sold for 2001 was primarily due to the increase in overhead costs resulting
from the expansion of production capacity. In addition, manufacturing costs, including overhead costs, increased as a percentage of net operating revenues primarily due to the decrease in capacity utilization rate.
Gross profit and gross margin.
Gross profit decreased by 84.1%
from NT$58,198 million for 2000 to NT$9,249 million for 2001. Gross margin decreased from 50.3% for 2000 to 13.2% for 2001. The decrease in gross margin was due to the decrease in unit production volume, which resulted in a decrease in capacity
utilization rates and higher cost per unit.
Operating
income and operating margin.
We generated an operating income of NT$47,543 million for 2000 compared to a loss of NT$6,412 million for 2001. Our operating margin were 41.1% and –9.2%, respectively, for these two periods. Operating
expenses increased by 47.0% from NT$10,655 million for 2000 to NT$15,661 million for 2001.
Sales and marketing expenses.
Our sales and marketing expenses increased by 97.4% from NT$1,153 million for 2000 to NT$2,276 million for 2001. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was due to increases in sample expenses.
Our sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of our net operating
revenues increased from 1.0% for 2000 to 3.3% for 2001.
General and administrative expenses
Our
general and administrative expenses increased by 38.5% from NT$3,196 million for 2000 to NT$4,425 million for 2001. The increase in general and administrative expenses was largely due to the start-up costs associated with the ramp-up of Fab 12A,
which was partially offset by reductions in expenses for maintenance, recruitment and other general corporate affairs between the two periods.
Our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of our net operating revenues increased from 2.8% for 2000 to 6.3% for 2001.
Research and development expenses
Our research and development expenses increased by 42.1% from NT$6,306
million for 2000 to NT$8,960 million for 2001. The increase in research and development expenses was due primarily to increasing expenses incurred in connection with our research and development for 0.18, 0.15 and 0.13 micron process technologies
consumption of research and development related materials for 2001 and the depreciation of NT dollars against US dollars between the two periods. Our research and development expenses as a percentage of our net operating revenues increased from 5.4%
for 2000 to 12.8% for 2001.
52
Table of Contents
The decrease in operating margin was largely due to the decrease in gross margin and increases in sales
and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses as percentages of net operating revenues.
Net non-operating income (expense).
Net non-operating results decreased from a net non-operating income of NT$4,786 million for 2000 to a
net non-operating expense of NT$154 million for 2001 mainly due to decreases in investment income and exchange gain, partially offset by an increase in gain on disposal of investments. Exchange gain decreased from NT$2,922 million for 2000 to NT$648
million for 2001. Gain on disposal of investments increased from NT$588 million for 2000 to NT$2,347 million for 2001 mainly due to the disposal of MediaTek and Novatek Microelectronics in each of their initial public offerings in 2001.
Investment income decreased from NT$1,726 million for 2000 to a loss of
NT$1,828 million for 2001, due largely to the net operating losses of several of our equity investees, primarily Trecenti and Unipac Optoelectronics Corporation, which was merged into AU Optronics Corp. in September 2001.
Net income.
Net income decreased by 106.2% from NT$50,780
million for 2000 to a loss of NT$3,157 million for 2001. This decrease in net income was mainly due to the decrease in operating income.
B. Liquidity and Capital Resources
The foundry business is highly capital intensive. Our development over the past three years has required significant investments. Additional expansion for
the future generally will continue to require significant cash for acquisition of plant and equipment to support increased capacities, particularly for the production of 12-inch wafers, although our expansion program will be adjusted from time to
time to reflect market conditions. In addition, the semiconductor industry has historically experienced rapid changes in technology. To maintain competitiveness at the same capacity, we are required to make adequate investments in plant and
equipment. In addition to our need for liquidity to support the large fixed costs of capacity expansion and the upgrading of our existing plants and equipment for new technologies, as we ramp up production of new plant capacity, we require
significant working capital to support purchases of raw materials for our production and to cover variable operating costs such as salaries until production yields provide sufficiently positive margins for a fabrication facility to produce operating
cash flows.
We have financed our substantial capital
expenditure requirements from cash flows from operations as well as from bank borrowings, the issuance of bonds and equity-linked securities denominated in NT dollars and US dollars and the proceeds from our ADS offering in September 2000. We
incurred capital expenditures of NT$83,483 million, NT$43,051 million and NT$35,978 million (US$1,037 million) in 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively, requiring a significant amount of funding from financing activities. Once a fab is in operation at
acceptable capacity and yield rates, it can provide significant cash flows. Cash flows significantly exceed operating income reflecting the significant non-cash depreciation expense. We generated cash flows from operations of NT$68,077 million,
NT$40,187 million and NT$30,527 million (US$880 million) in 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively.
As of December 31, 2002, we had NT$80,883 million (US$2,331 million) of cash and cash equivalents and NT$2,526 million (US$73 million) of marketable securities.
Our operating activities generated cash of NT$30,527 million (US$880 million)
for 2002. Cash generated from our operating activities for 2002 was primarily attributable to add-back of non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization in the amount of NT$38,267 million (US$1,103 million).
Net cash used in our investment activities was NT$30,458 million (US$878
million) for 2002. In 2002, we used cash of NT$35,978 million (US$1,037 million) to purchase equipment primarily used at our fabs.
Net cash provided by our financing activities was NT$3,162 million (US$91 million) for 2002. For financing activities for 2002, we received cash of
NT$13,097 million (US$377 million) from the issuance of exchangeable bonds and the issuance of zero coupon convertible bonds by UMCJ. We also repaid long-term loans of NT$10,047 million (US$290 million) in cash in 2002.

We have entered into
several construction contracts for the expansion of our factory space. As of December 31, 2002, these construction contracts amounted to NT$10,340 million (US$298 million) with an un-accrued portion of the contracts of NT$4,755 million (US$137
million). We have entered into several wafer-processing contracts with our main customers. Under the terms of these contracts, we will guarantee processing capacity, while our customers will make deposits to us.
For 2002, we spent approximately NT$32,284 million (US$930 million) primarily
to purchase 8-inch and 12-inch wafer processing equipment and other equipment for research and development purposes. Our initial budget for purchases of semiconductor manufacturing equipment for 2003 is approximately US$500 million on an
unconsolidated basis. We may adjust the amount of our capital expenditures upward or downward based on the progress of our capital projects, market conditions and our anticipation of future business outlook.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term
investments, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements at least through the end of 2003. We also expect to fund a portion of our capital requirements in 2003 through the cash provided by operating
activities. Due to rapid changes in technology in the semiconductor industry, however, we have frequent demand for investment in new manufacturing technologies. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise additional capital, should that
become necessary, on terms acceptable to us or at all. If financing is not available on terms acceptable to us, management intends to reduce expenditures so as to delay the need for additional financing. To the extent that we do not generate
sufficient cash flows from our operations to meet our cash requirements, we may rely on external borrowings and securities offerings to finance our working capital needs or our future expansion plans. The sale of additional equity or equity-linked
securities may result in additional dilution to our shareholders. Our ability to meet our working capital needs from cash flow from operations will be affected by the demand for our products and change in our product mix, which in turn may be
adversely affected by several factors. Many of these factors are outside of our control, such as economic downturns and declines in the average selling prices of our products. The average selling prices of our products have been subjected to
downward pressure in the past and are reasonably likely to be subject to further downward pressure in the future. We have not historically relied, and we do not plan to rely in the foreseeable future, on off-balance sheet financing arrangements to
finance our operations or expansion.
Transactions with Related Parties
Our transactions with related parties have been conducted
on arm's length terms. See "Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions—B. Related Party Transactions" and note 20 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.
Inflation
We do not believe that inflation in Taiwan has had a material impact on our results of operations. Inflation in Taiwan was
approximately 1.26%, -0.01% and -0.20% in 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively.
US GAAP Reconciliation
Our consolidated
financial statements are prepared in accordance with ROC GAAP, which differs in certain material respects from US GAAP. Such differences include methods of consolidation and methods for measuring the amounts shown in the financial statements, as
well as additional disclosures required by US GAAP. Please see note 28 to our audited financial statements, included in this annual report, for further discussion and quantification of these differences. The following table sets forth a comparison
of our net income and stockholders' equity in accordance with ROC GAAP and US GAAP for the periods indicated.

The principal
differences between ROC GAAP and US GAAP as they relate to our results of operations are the treatment of: (1) compensation expenses pertaining to stock bonuses to employees, and (2) embedded derivatives.
Compensation Expenses
Under our articles of incorporation, we are required, under certain circumstances, to allocate a certain portion of annual
net income to employee bonuses. See "Item 10. Additional Information—B. Memorandum and Articles of Association—Dividends and Distributions" elsewhere in this annual report. We paid employee bonuses in 2000, 2001 and 2002 in the
form of shares and expect to pay employee bonuses in future periods in the form of shares. The number of shares distributed as part of employee bonuses is obtained by dividing the total nominal, NT dollar amount of the bonus to be paid in the form
of shares by the par value of the shares, or NT$10 per share, rather than their market value, which has generally been substantially higher than par value. Under ROC GAAP, the distribution of employee bonus shares is treated as an allocation from
retained earnings, and we are not required to, and do not, charge the value of the employee bonus shares to income. Under US GAAP, however, we are required to charge the market value of the employee bonus shares to compensation expense in the period
to which they relate, correspondingly reducing our net income and earnings per share calculated in accordance with US GAAP. Under US GAAP, the compensation expense is initially accrued when services are rendered and both the number of shares to be
issued and the price per share are known. Since the actual amount of the compensation is subject to shareholders' approval and only determinable at the annual shareholders' meeting, which is generally held after the issuance of our
financial statements, we will make the accrual in accordance with the number of shares to be issued
57
Table of Contents
under our articles of incorporation, valuing by the closing price at the balance sheet date. When bonuses are approved by the shareholders in the subsequent
year, which normally occurs during the second fiscal quarter, an additional compensation expense is recorded for the difference between the amount initially accrued and the fair market value of the shares actually granted to employees. In addition,
since such adjustment for compensation expense for the purpose of US GAAP reconciliation is made in the second quarter of each fiscal year and the major amount of the adjustment is charged to the results for this quarter, the adjustment has a
disproportionate impact on the results for the second quarter under US GAAP. Therefore, quarterly net income and income per share amounts calculated in accordance with US GAAP tend to be understated on an annualized basis for the second quarter and
overstated for the other quarters.
The amounts charged to
employee compensation expense, including certain distributions to directors and supervisors, under US GAAP in respect of the bonus distribution in 2000, 2001 and 2002 were NT$9,340 million, NT$4,526 million and NT$7,349 million (US$212 million),
respectively, representing an aggregate of 399 million shares. Compensation expense accrued, before allocation to inventories, under US GAAP in 2000, 2001 and 2002, for the anticipated 2001, 2002 and 2003 bonus distribution, respectively, was
NT$3,863 million, nil and NT$830 million (US$24 million), respectively. The amounts chargeable to income under US GAAP in 2002 in respect of the portion of the 2001 bonus distribution paid in the form of our shares, were NT$6,592 million, and that
in future periods such amounts will continue to be substantial. Net income and earnings per share amounts calculated in accordance with ROC GAAP and US GAAP will differ accordingly. See note 28 to our consolidated financial statements.
Embedded derivatives
Under US GAAP, as prescribed by SFAS No.133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", the
derivative instruments embedded in our exchangeable bonds issued in May 2002 and in our investments in three convertible bonds are bifurcated and separately accounted for since the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative
instruments and the host contracts are not clearly and closely related, and the contracts that embody both the embedded derivative instruments and the host contracts are not remeasured at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings.
As a result, the exchange and conversion options embedded were bifurcated and accounted for as freestanding derivative instruments and the changes in fair value were included in earnings of the year accordingly. See Note 28 to our consolidated
financial statements.
In addition to some of the factors that
affect results of operations as discussed above, the principal differences between ROC GAAP and US GAAP as they relate to our stockholders' equity are the treatment of: (1) marketable securities, (2) income tax and (3) consolidated goodwill as
discussed below.
Marketable Securities
Under ROC GAAP, marketable securities are carried at the lower of aggregate
cost or market value. The unrealized loss resulting from the decline in market value of investments that are held for short-term investment purposes is charged to current year's earnings while unrealized loss resulting from the decline in
market value of investments that are held for long-term purposes is deducted from the stockholders' equity. Under US GAAP, debt securities that we have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity
securities and reported at amortized cost. Debt and equity securities that are bought and traded for short-term profit are classified as trading securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Debt and
equity securities not classified as either held-to-maturity or trading securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in a separate
component of stockholders' equity. See note 28 to our consolidated financial statements.
Income Tax
Undistributed earnings generated after 1997 are subject to a 10% tax in compliance with the Income Tax Law of the ROC. Under ROC GAAP the 10% tax on undistributed earnings is recorded as an expense at the time shareholders resolve that our
earnings shall be retained. Under US GAAP, we would measure our income tax expense, including the tax effects of temporary differences, using the tax rate that includes the tax on undistributed earnings.

Table of Contents
Consolidated Goodwill
Under ROC GAAP, the fair value of the net assets received is deemed to be the value of the consideration for the acquisition of the remaining interests in
United Semiconductor, United Silicon, UTEK Semiconductor and United Integrated Circuits and is reflected in the common stock and capital reserve in the balance sheet. We estimated the fair value of the net assets acquired through two valuation
models, a profitability and net worth model and a discounted cash flow model. We also used other considerations such as the valuation of current operations, synergies, technical knowledge and future prospects. Under US GAAP, the acquisition was
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and the purchase price is determined using the market value of the shares exchanged. The difference between the fair value of the shares exchanged and the fair value of the net assets acquired
creates goodwill. Goodwill was amortized on a straight-line basis over ten years up to January 1, 2002. Upon the first adoption of SFAS No. 141 "Business Combinations" & SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" on
January 1, 2002, the goodwill ceased to be amortized and is subject to impairment test only. See "— Recent Accounting Pronouncements."
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations", and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 as well as all purchase method business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS
No. 141 also specifies criteria intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill, noting that any purchase price allocable to an assembled workforce may not be accounted
for separately.
SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and
intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with estimable useful
lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets".
We adopted SFAS No. 141 & 142 on January 1, 2002. Upon adoption, we
did not identify additional intangible assets related to previous acquisitions and the goodwill created from the acquisition of the remaining interests in United Semiconductor, United Silicon, UTEK Semiconductor and United Integrated Circuits prior
to June 30, 2001 as well as those created from the acquisition of an equity investee were no longer to be amortized but instead subject to impairment test annually or when indication of impairment is noted. Similarly, the goodwill created upon
conversion of convertible bonds ceased to be amortized. The annual goodwill impairment test performed did not result in the recognition of any impairment loss as of December 31, 2002.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations", which addresses
financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The standard applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets
that result from the acquisition, construction, development and (or) normal use of the asset.
SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the
liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and this additional carrying amount is depreciated over the life of the asset. The liability is accreted at the end of each period through charges to operating expense. If the
obligation is settled for other than the carrying amount of the liability, we will recognize a gain or loss on settlement. We are currently evaluating the effect that implementation of the new standard will have on our financial position, results of
operations, and cash flows.
In August 2001, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of". SFAS No. 144 retains
the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for
59
Table of Contents
recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. SFAS
No. 144 addresses certain implementation issues related to SFAS No. 121. This Statement also supersedes the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations – Reporting the Effects of Disposal
of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions", for segments of a business to be disposed of. SFAS No. 144 retains the basic provisions of APB Opinion No. 30 for the presentation of
discontinued operations in the income statement but broadens that presentation to include a component of an entity, rather than a segment of a business. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002 did not have any material effect on our
financial position or results of operations.
In June 2002, the
FASB issued SFAS No. 146 "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." The Statement represents the second and final phase of the FASB's project on accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets
and for obligations associated with exit or disposal activities. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 146 in January 2003 to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
During the year ended December 31, 2002, the FASB has issued SFAS No. 145,
"Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections", SFAS No. 147 "Acquisition of Certain Financial Institutions" and SFAS No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure." These Statements were effective for our company during the year ended December 31, 2002 and did not have any material effect on our earnings or financial position for the year then ended.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45,
"Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN45"). FIN45 requires certain guarantees to be recorded at fair value, which is different from
the general current practice of recording a liability only when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable, as those terms are defined in SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies." FIN45 also requires a guarantor to make significant new
disclosures for virtually all guarantees even if the likelihood of the guarantor's having to make payments under the guarantee is remote. The disclosure requirements of FIN45 are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods
ending after December 15, 2002.
The initial recognition and
initial measurement provisions of FIN45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. We believe that the adoption of the standard will not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46,
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51, or the Interpretation. The Interpretation introduces a new consolidation model, the variable interests model, which determines control (and
consolidation) based on potential variability in gains and losses of the entity being evaluated for consolidation. We are currently evaluating the effect that implementation of the new standard will have on our financial position, results of
operations, and cash flows.
C. Research, Development, Patents and
Licenses, Etc.
The semiconductor industry is
characterized by rapid changes in technology, frequently resulting in obsolescence of process technologies and products. As a result, effective research and development is essential to our success. We invested approximately NT$6,306 million,
NT$8,960 million and NT$7,368 million (US$212 million) in 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively, in research and development, which represented 5.4%, 12.8% and 9.8%, respectively, of net operating revenues for such periods. We believe that our
continuous spending on research and development will help us maintain our position as a technological leader in the foundry industry. As of April 30, 2003, we employed 356 professionals in our research and development division, 18% of whom hold Ph.D
degrees.
Our current research and development activities seek
to upgrade and integrate manufacturing technologies and processes, as well as to develop embedded memory technologies, including DRAM, SRAM, 1T-SRAM and nonvolatile memories, and advanced device technologies, including SOI and strained silicon.
Although we emphasize firm-wide participation in the research and development process, we maintain a central research and
60
Table of Contents
development team primarily responsible for developing cost-effective technologies that can serve the manufacturing needs of our customers. Monetary
incentives are provided to our employees if projects result in successful patents. A substantial portion of our research and development activities are undertaken in cooperation with our customers and equipment vendors.
To further enhance our research and development capability, in January 2000
we became the first non-US member of Semiconductor Research Corporation, or SRC, a leading research institute for semiconductor technologies. We, as an active participant in every SRC program, have been working with member companies in conducting
fundamental research in semiconductor technologies. The current membership of SRC comprises leading technology companies such as IBM, Intel, Texas Instruments, AMD and Motorola.
D. Trend Information
Please refer to "—Overview" for a discussion of the most significant recent trends in our production, sales, costs and selling prices. In
addition, please refer to discussions included in this Item for a discussion of known trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events that we believe are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our net operating revenues, income from
continuing operations, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause reported financial information not necessarily to be indicative of future operating results or financial condition.
E. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2002, we had off-balance sheet outstanding letters of
credit of NT$76 million (US$2 million). See note 22 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.
We have, from time to time, entered into interest rate swap and cap agreements to manage our interest rate risks on our floating rate debt instruments and
foreign currency forward contracts to hedge our existing assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and identifiable foreign currency purchase commitments. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

C. Board Practices
All of our directors and supervisors were elected in May 2001 for a term of three years. Neither we nor any of our subsidiaries has entered into a
contract with any of our directors and supervisors by which our directors or supervisors are expected to receive benefits upon termination of their employment.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 directs the Securities and Exchange Commission to require U.S. national securities exchanges, such as the New York Stock
Exchange, and national securities associations to adopt rules that prohibit the listing of any security of an issuer that is not in compliance with the relevant audit committee requirements set forth in such act. We do not currently have an audit
committee or an audit committee financial expert. We intend, however, to fully comply with all applicable rules and regulations and New York Stock Exchange listing requirements regarding the need for, and composition of, an audit committee, and SEC
rules and regulations and New York Stock Exchange listing requirements regarding audit committee financial experts. The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted final rules relating to the audit committee requirements on April 9, 2003. The related
New York Stock Exchange listing requirements for non-U.S. issuers are required to be adopted and come into effect by July 31, 2005.
D. Employees
As of April 30, 2003, we had 8,649 employees, which included 3,803 engineers, 4,311 technicians and 535 clerical staff performing administrative functions
at our plants in Taiwan. 30 of these employees were seconded to the UMCJ facilities in Japan and 10 of these employees were seconded to UMCi in Singapore. We have in the past implemented, and may in the future evaluate the need to implement, labor
redundancy plans based on the work performance of our employees.
Employee salaries are reviewed annually. Salaries are adjusted based on industry standards, inflation and individual performance. As an incentive, additional bonuses in cash may be paid at the discretion of management based on the
performance of individuals. In addition, except under certain circumstances, ROC law requires us to reserve between 10% to 15% of any offerings of our new shares for employees' subscription.
Our employees participate in our profit distribution pursuant to our articles
of incorporation. Employees are entitled to receive additional bonuses based on a certain percentage of our allocable surplus income. The amount allocated for employees in 2002 in relation to retained earnings in 2001 totaled NT$1,711 million, all
of which were paid in the form of shares. The number of shares issued as employee share bonus is calculated by valuing the shares at their par value, or NT$10 per share, rather than their fair market value. Accordingly, the value of the shares
received by employees is significantly more than the cash amount employees would receive if the employee share bonus was paid in cash. See "Items 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—US GAAP Reconciliation."

Table of Contents
Our employees are not covered by any collective bargaining agreements. We believe we have a good
relationship with our employees.
E. Employee Stock Options Plan
According to our Employee Stock Options Plan, options may
be granted to our full-time regular employees, including those of our domestic and overseas subsidiaries, for purchase of up to an aggregate of 1,000,000,000 of our common shares. The exercise price for the options would be the closing price of our
common shares on the Taiwan Stock Exchange on the day the options are granted, while the expiration date for such options is 6 years from the date of its issuance. We granted 939,000,000 and 61,000,000 options to acquire our common shares under our
Employee Stock Options Plan in October 2002 and January 2003, respectively.
According to our Employee Stock Options Plan, an option holder may exercise an increasing portion of his or her options in time starting two years after the grant of the options. According to the vesting schedule,
50%, 75% and 100% of such option holder's options shall vest two, three and four years after the grant of the options, respectively. Upon a voluntary termination or termination in accordance with the ROC Labor Law, the option holder shall
exercise his or her vested options within 30 days, subject to exceptions provided therein, and after the termination otherwise such options shall terminate. If termination was due to death, the heirs of such option holder have one year starting from
the date of the death to exercise his or her vested options. If termination was due to retirement or occupational casualty, the option holder or his or her heirs may exercise all his or her options within certain period as provided. The options are
generally not transferable or pledgeable by the option holders.
The following table sets forth stock options paid to each of our Chairman and our senior officers as of May 31, 2003.

We declare stock dividends in a NT dollar amount per share, but we pay the dividends to our shareholders in the form of shares. The amount of shares distributed to each shareholder
is calculated by multiplying the dividend declared by the number of shares held by the given shareholder, divided by the par value of NT$10 per share. Fractional shares are not issued but are paid in cash.
B. Significant Changes
Other than those changes disclosed below, we have not experienced any significant changes since the date of the annual
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002.
The
semiconductor industry has experienced a downturn since late 2000. Our capacity utilization rate in 2001 was 47%, compared to 100% in 2000, due to rapidly deteriorating demand, mainly from our customers in the communication sector. Our capacity
utilization rate improved to 65% in 2002 due to increased demand from the consumer electronics and wireless communication businesses. Our unconsolidated net operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2003 were NT$17,899 million. Our
unconsolidated net operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent period.
In connection with the settlement of our litigations with Silicon Integrated Systems, or SiS, we and SiS agreed in late 2002
to enter into a broad scope of cooperation, including, among other things, exchange of process patents, production support and our board representation in SiS. To further strengthen our relationship with SiS, we have also decided to invest in SiS.
As of March 31, 2003, we held 16.18% of SiS outstanding share capital. In addition, our representatives currently hold three out of seven board seats of SiS, and John Hsuan, our vice chairman, is the chairman of SiS.
SiS is an independent design manufacturer, that is, a company engaging in
design and manufacture of semiconductor devices. SiS owns and operates an 8-inch fab in Taiwan. For the past two years, although SiS's own fab was able to manufacture a significant portion of the semiconductor products it designs, it from time
to time outsourced to other companies when the market demand exceeded its fabrication capacity. Under our settlement of the legal proceedings with SiS, SiS agreed to engage us as its sole external provider of integrated circuit manufacturing or
foundry services for integrated circuits designed with 0.18 micron and smaller feature sizes.

Table of Contents
Directors
The ROC Company Law and our articles of incorporation provide that our board of directors is elected by shareholders and is responsible for the management
of our business. Our board of directors is composed of 10 directors. The Chairman of our board is elected by our directors. The Chairman presides at all meetings of our board of directors, and also has the authority to represent our company. The
term of office for our directors is three years, and our directors are elected by our shareholders by means of cumulative voting. The next election for all of the directors and supervisors is expected to be held in 2004. In addition, our articles of
incorporation provide that our shareholders also elect three supervisors whose duties include, among other things, investigating our business and financial condition, inspecting our corporate records, calling our shareholders' meetings,
representing us in negotiations with our directors and notifying, when appropriate, our board of directors to cease acting in contravention of applicable law or regulation or in contravention of our articles of incorporation. The supervisors cannot
concurrently serve as our directors or officers or employees. Pursuant to the ROC Company Law, a person may serve as our director or supervisor in his or her personal capacity or as the representative of another legal entity. A legal entity that
owns our shares may be elected as a director or supervisor, in which case a natural person must be designated to act as the legal entity's representative. A legal entity that is our shareholder may designate its representative to be elected as
our director or supervisor on its behalf. In the event several representatives are designated by the same legal entity, any or all of them may be elected. A director or supervisor who serves as the representative of a legal entity may be removed or
replaced at any time at the discretion of such legal entity, and the replacement director or supervisor may serve the remainder of the term of office of the replaced director or supervisor. Currently, eight of our directors and one of our
supervisors are representatives of other legal entities, as shown in "Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees— A. Directors and Senior Management". Our articles of incorporation provides that our directors and supervisors
in the aggregate shall own no less than 5% and 0.5%, respectively, of our issued and outstanding shares.
Shares
As of December
31, 2002, our authorized share capital was NT$220 billion, divided into 22 billion shares, of which 15,474,845,646 shares were issued and 15,238,578,646 shares were outstanding. All shares presently issued are fully paid and in registered form, and
existing shareholders are not subject to any capital calls. As of March 31, 2002, United Microelectronics had no outstanding convertible bonds, warrants or options on our shares, except for (i) our US$302.4 million Zero Coupon Convertible Bonds due
2004, which are convertible at the option of each bondholder into our shares or ADSs, and (ii) 939,000,000 and 61,000,000 options we granted to our employees under our Employee Stock Options Plan as discussed below.
According to our Employee Stock Options Plan, options may be granted to our
full-time regular employees, including those of our domestic and overseas subsidiaries, for purchase of up to an aggregate of 1,000,000,000 of our common shares. We granted 939,000,000 and 61,000,000 options to acquire our common shares under the
plan in October 2002 and January 2003, respectively. According to the plan, an option holder may exercise an increasing portion of his or her options in time starting two years after the grant of the options. According to the vesting schedule, 50%,
75% and 100% of such option holder's options shall vest two, three and four years after the grant of the options, respectively.
New Shares and Preemptive Rights
New shares may only be issued with the prior approval of our board of directors. If our issuance of any new shares will result in any change in our
authorized share capital, we are required under ROC law to amend our articles of incorporation and obtain approval of our shareholders in a shareholders' meeting. We must also obtain the approval of, or submit a registration with, the
Securities and Futures Commission and the Hsinchu Science-Based Industrial Park Administration. According to the ROC Company Law, when a company issues capital stock for cash, 10% to 15% of the issue must be offered to its employees. In addition, if
a listed company intends to offer new shares for cash, at least 10% of the issue must also be offered to the public. This percentage can be increased by a resolution passed at a shareholders' meeting, which will reduce the number of new shares
in which existing shareholders may have preemptive rights. Unless the percentage of the shares offered to the public is increased by a resolution, existing shareholders of the company have a preemptive right to acquire the remaining 75% to 80% of
the issue in proportion to their existing shareholdings. According to the Corporate Merger and Acquisition Act of
71
Table of Contents
the ROC, as effective on February 8, 2002, if new shares issued by our company are solely for the purpose of acquisition
or spin-off, the above-mentioned restrictions, including the employee stock ownership plan, the preemptive rights of the existing shareholders and the publicity requirement of a listed company, to such issuance of new shares may not be applied.
Shareholders
We only recognize persons registered in our register as our shareholders. We
may set a record date and close our register of shareholders for specified periods to determine which shareholders are entitled to various rights pertaining to our shares.
Transfer of Shares
Shares in registered form are transferred in book-entry form or by endorsement and delivery of the related share certificates. Transferees must have their
names and addresses registered on our register in order to assert shareholder's rights against us. Our shareholders are required to file their respective specimen seals with our share registrar, SinoPac Securities Corp. Under current ROC
Company Law, a public company, such as our company, may issue individual share certificates, one master certificate or no certificate at all to evidence common shares. Our articles of incorporation, as amended on June 9, 2003, provide that we, upon
acceptance of the application from the Taiwan Securities Central Depository Co., Ltd., or TSCDC, may issue a large face value share certificate in exchange for every thousand shares in the custody of TSCDC, or issue one master certificate for all
newly issued shares. If our shares are issued in one master certificate, the shares will be deposited for the custody of TSCDC, and the transfer of these shares will be carried out through the book-entry system maintained by TSCDC.
Shareholders' Meetings
We are required to hold an annual ordinary shareholders' meeting once
every calendar year within six months from the end of each calendar year. Our board of directors may convene an extraordinary meeting whenever the directors deem necessary, and they must do so if requested in writing by shareholders holding no less
than 3% of our paid-in share capital who have held these shares for more than a year. In addition, any of our supervisors may convene a shareholders' meeting if our board of directors do not or cannot convene a shareholders' meeting and
when such a meeting is necessary for the benefit of the shareholders. At least 15 days advance written notice must be given of every extraordinary shareholders' meeting and at least 30 days advance written notice must be given of every annual
ordinary shareholders' meeting. Unless otherwise required by law or by our articles of incorporation, voting for an ordinary resolution requires an affirmative vote of a simple majority of those present. A distribution of cash dividends would
be an example of an ordinary resolution. The ROC Company Law also provides that in order to approve certain major corporate actions, including any amendment of our articles of incorporation, dissolution, merger or spin-off, the transfer of all or an
essential part of the business or assets, accept all of the business or assets of any other company which would have a significant impact in our operations, removing directors or the distribution of dividend in stock form, a special resolution may
be adopted by the holders of at least two-thirds of our shares represented at a meeting of shareholders at which holders of at least a majority of our issued and outstanding shares are present. However, if we are the controlling company and hold no
less than 90% of our subordinate company's outstanding shares, our merger with the subordinate company can be approved by a board resolution adopted by majority consent at a meeting with two-thirds of our directors present without
shareholders' approval. In addition, according to the Corporate Merger and Acquisition Act of the ROC, if a company intends to transfer all or an essential part of its business or assets to its wholly-owned subsidiary, subject to the
qualifications set forth in the said act, such transaction only needs to be approved by majority board resolution rather than super majority vote by the shareholder's meeting as required by the ROC Company Law.
Voting Rights
Except for treasury shares, each share is generally entitled to one vote. Except as otherwise provided by law or our
articles of incorporation, a resolution can be adopted by the holders of a simple majority of the total issued and outstanding shares represented at a shareholders' meeting. The quorum for a shareholders' meeting to discuss the ordinary
resolutions is a majority of the total issued and outstanding shares. The election of directors and supervisors by our shareholders may be conducted by means of cumulative voting or other voting mechanisms adopted in our
72
Table of Contents
articles of incorporation. In all other matters, a shareholder must cast all his or her votes in the same manner when
voting on any of these matters.
Our shareholders may be
represented at an ordinary or extraordinary shareholders' meeting by proxy if a valid proxy form is delivered to us five days before the commencement of the ordinary or extraordinary shareholders' meeting. Voting rights attached to our
shares exercised by our shareholders' proxy are subject to the proxy regulation promulgated by the ROC Securities and Futures Commission.
Any shareholder who has a personal interest in a matter to be discussed at our shareholders' meeting, the outcome of which may impair our interests,
shall not vote or exercise voting rights on behalf of another shareholder on such matter.
You generally will not be able to exercise voting rights on the shares underlying your ADSs on an individual basis.
Dividends and Distributions
We are not allowed under ROC law to pay dividends on our treasury shares. We may distribute dividends on our issued and outstanding shares if we have
earnings. Before distributing a dividend to shareholders, we must recover any past losses, pay all outstanding taxes and set aside a legal reserve equivalent to 10% of our net income until our legal reserve equals our paid-in capital.
At an annual ordinary shareholders' meeting, our board of directors
submits to the shareholders for their approval proposals for the distribution of dividends or the making of any other distribution to shareholders from our net income or reserves for the preceding fiscal year. Dividends are paid to shareholders
proportionately. Dividends may be distributed either in cash or in shares or a combination of cash and shares, as determined by the shareholders at such meeting.
Our articles of incorporation provide that we may distribute 0.1% of our earnings after:
•
payment of all taxes and dues;
•
deduction of any past losses; and
•
allocation of 10% of our net income as a legal reserve
as remuneration to directors and supervisors.
The amount of no less than 5% of the residual amount after the distribution of the items illustrated above, plus any undistributed earnings from previous
years, shall be distributed as bonus to employees in the form of new shares. Employees eligible for such distribution may include certain qualified employees from our subordinate companies and the qualification of such employees is to be determined
by our board of directors. The remaining amount may be distributed according to the distribution plan proposed by our board of directors based on our dividend policy, and submitted to the shareholders' meeting for approval.
Our articles of incorporation further provide that at least 50% of the
dividends to our shareholders, if any, must be paid in the form of stock dividends. Accordingly, no more than 50% of the dividends can be paid in the form of cash.
In addition to permitting dividends to be paid out of net income, we are permitted under the ROC Company Law to make
distributions to our shareholders of additional shares by capitalizing reserves, including the legal reserve and capital surplus of premiums from issuing stock and earnings from gifts received if we do not have losses. However, the capitalized
portion payable out of our legal reserve is limited to 50% of the total accumulated legal reserve, and is payable only if and to the extent the accumulated legal reserve exceeds 50% of our paid-in capital.

Considerations."
Acquisition of Our Common Shares by Us
An ROC company may not acquire its own common shares,
except under certain exceptions provided in the ROC Company Law or the ROC Securities and Exchange Law. Under the new amendments to the ROC Company Law, which took effect on November 14, 2001, a company may purchase up to 5% of its issued common
shares for transfer to employees in accordance with a resolution of its board of directors, passed by a majority vote, at a meeting with at least two-thirds of the directors present.
Under Article 28-2, an amendment to the Securities and Exchange Law, which took effect on July 21, 2000, we may, by a board
resolution adopted by majority consent at a meeting with two-thirds of our directors present, purchase up to 10% of our issued shares on the Taiwan Stock Exchange or by a tender offer, in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the Securities
and Futures Commission, for the following purposes:
•
to transfer shares to our employees;
•
to transfer upon conversion of bonds with warrants, preferred shares with warrants, convertible bonds, convertible preferred shares or certificates of warrants issued by us; and
•
if necessary, to maintain our credit and our shareholders' equity; provided that the shares so purchased shall be cancelled thereafter.
On February 20, 2002, we started to purchase 49,114,000 of our common shares
at an approximate aggregate price of NT$2.18 billion for transfer to our employees as permitted by the ROC Company Law. For two months since August 12, 2002, we had also purchased 20,693,000 of our common shares at an approximate aggregate price of
NT$562 million to accommodate the conversion of the Zero Coupon Convertible Bonds due 2004 we issued in December 2001. On March 4, 2003, our board of directors passed a resolution to purchase up to 500 million of our common shares, which is
approximately 3.23% of our issued shares on the date thereof, at the maximum aggregate price of NT$15.5 billion for transfer to our employees as permitted by the ROC Company Law. The period of execution is from March 5, 2003 through May 4, 2003. As
of May 4, 2003, we purchased 99,195,000 shares of our common shares pursuant to our board resolutions dated March 4, 2003, at the price of NT$20.74 per share (for the approximate aggregate price of NT$2,057 million). The shares we purchased since
February 20, 2002 consisted of 1.09% of our issued common shares.
In addition, we may not spend more than the aggregate amount of the retained earnings, the premium from issuing stock and the realized portion of the capital reserve to purchase our shares.
We may not pledge or hypothecate any purchased shares. In addition, we may
not exercise any shareholders' rights attaching to such shares. In the event that we purchase our shares on the Taiwan Stock Exchange, our affiliates, directors, supervisors, managers and their respective spouses and minor children and/or
nominees are prohibited from selling any of our shares during the period in which we purchase our shares.
In addition to the share purchase restriction, the recently amended Company Law provides that our subsidiaries may not acquire our shares or the shares of
our majority-owned subsidiaries if the majority of the outstanding voting shares or paid-in capital of such subsidiary is directly or indirectly held by us.
Liquidation Rights
In a liquidation, you will be entitled to participate in any surplus assets after payment of all debts, liquidation expenses and taxes.
74
Table of Contents
Rights to Bring Shareholders' Suits
Under the ROC Company Law, a shareholder may bring suit against us in the following events:
•
within 30 days from the date on which a shareholders' resolution is adopted, a shareholder may file a lawsuit to annul a shareholders' resolution if the procedure for
convening a shareholders' meeting or the method of resolution violates any law or regulation or our articles of incorporation. However, if the court is of the opinion that such violation is not material and does not affect the result of the
resolution, the court may reject the shareholder's claim.
•
if the substance of a resolution adopted at a shareholders' meeting contradicts any applicable law or regulation or our articles of incorporation, a shareholder may bring a
suit to determine the validity of such resolution.
Shareholders may bring suit against our directors and supervisors under the following circumstances:
•
Shareholders who have continuously held 3% or more of our issued shares for a period of one year or longer may request in writing that a supervisor institute an action against a
director on our behalf. In case the supervisor fails to institute an action within 30 days after receiving such request, the shareholders may institute an action on our behalf. In the event shareholders institute an action, a court may, upon
application of the defendant, order such shareholders to furnish appropriate security.
•
Shareholders who hold more than 3% or more of our total issued shares may institute an action with a court to remove a director of ours who has materially violated the applicable
laws or our articles of incorporation or has materially damaged the interests of our company if a resolution for removal on such grounds has first been voted on and rejected by our shareholders and such suit is filed within 30 days of such
shareholders vote.
•
In the event that any director, supervisor, manager or shareholder holding more than 10% of our shares or any respective spouses or minor children and/or nominees of any of them
sells shares within six months after acquisition of such shares, or repurchases the shares within six months after the sale, we may claim for recovery of any profits realized from the sale and purchase. If our board of directors or our supervisors
fail to claim for recovery, any shareholder may request our board of directors or our supervisors to exercise the right of claim within 30 days. After such 30-day period, such requesting shareholder shall have the right to claim such recovery on our
behalf. Our directors and supervisors shall be jointly and severally liable for damages suffered by us as a result of their failure to exercise the right of claim.
Other Rights of Shareholders
Under the ROC Company Law, dissenting shareholders are entitled to appraisal rights in the event of a spin-off or a merger and various other major
corporate actions. Dissenting shareholders may request us to redeem all their shares at a fair price to be determined by mutual agreement. If no agreement can be reached, the valuation will be determined by a court. Subject to applicable law,
dissenting shareholders may, among other things, exercise their appraisal rights by notifying us before the related shareholders' meeting and/or by raising and registering their dissent at the shareholders' meeting.
One or more shareholders who have held more than 3% of the issued and
outstanding shares for more than one year may require our board of directors to call an extraordinary shareholders' meeting by sending a written request to our board of directors.
75
Table of Contents
Financial Statements

the Taiwan Stock Exchange on a daily basis is limited by ROC law. Further, they may sell or transfer our shares on the Taiwan Stock Exchange only after reporting to the Securities and Futures Commission at least three days before the transfer,
provided that such reporting is not required if the number of shares transferred does not exceed 10,000.

D. Exchange Controls
Foreign Investment and Exchange Controls in Taiwan
We have extracted from publicly available documents the information presented in this section. Please note that citizens of the People's Republic
of China and entities organized in the People's Republic of China are subject to special ROC laws, rules and regulations, which are not discussed in this section.
General
Historically, foreign investments in the securities market of Taiwan were restricted. However, commencing in 1983, the Taiwan government has from time to
time enacted legislation and adopted regulations to make foreign investment in the Taiwan securities market possible. Initially, only overseas investment trust funds of authorized securities investment trust enterprises established in Taiwan were
permitted to invest in the Taiwan securities market. Since January 1, 1991, qualified foreign institutional investors are allowed to make investments in the Taiwan public securities market. Since March 1, 1996, non-resident foreign institutional and
individual investors, called "general foreign investors", are permitted to make direct investments in the Taiwan public securities market.
76
Table of Contents
Foreign Ownership Limitations
Foreign ownership of the issued share capital in a Taiwan Stock Exchange-listed company or an Over-the-Counter Securities
Exchange-quoted company has been limited to 50% in the past. Since December 30, 2000, the 50% limit has been lifted. Foreign investors who are qualified to hold investments in the securities market of Taiwan by virtue of being one of the permissible
categories of entities or individuals (i.e., qualified foreign institutional investors (the "QFII"), general foreign investors and certain overseas investment trust funds as described below) can now hold such investments without any
foreign ownership percentage limitations, unless the law has imposed restrictions otherwise.
Capital remitted into Taiwan under the foreign investment guidelines may be repatriated at any time without the approval of the Securities and Futures Commission (the "ROC SFC"). Capital gains and income on
investments may also be repatriated at any time.
Qualified Foreign
Institutional Investors
The Executive Yuan, the cabinet
of the ROC government, has approved guidelines for direct investment in ROC securities listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange, GreTai Securities Market or emerging stocks or other ROC securities approved by the ROC SFC by certain qualified foreign
institutional investors that have applied for and received approvals from the ROC SFC and, if applicable, the Central Bank of China (the "CBC"). Qualified foreign institutional investors include:
1.
banks that hold securities assets of at least US$100 million;
2.
insurance companies that hold securities assets of at least US$100 million;
3.
fund management companies
•
fund management companies that manage securities assets of at least US$100 million;
•
foreign subsidiary of a domestic securities investment trust in which subsidiary the domestic securities investment trust has a shareholding of more than 50%; provided that the
funds to be used to invest in the domestic securities do not and shall not come from (a) Taiwan, (b) such foreign subsidiary's own capital or (c) the mainland China areas.
4.
securities firms
•
securities firms that have a net worth of at least US$50 million;
•
a foreign securities firm of which a Taiwan securities firm owns at least 50% of its shareholding (the "Joint Venture Company"), or a foreign securities firm which is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of such Joint Venture Company;
•
a foreign securities firm which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of a Taiwan securities firm ("Foreign Subsidiary") or which is a joint venture of which such Foreign
Subsidiary owns at least 50% of its shareholding;
•
foreign 100% government-owned investment institutions;
•
pension funds;
•
mutual funds, unit trusts or investment trusts that have assets of at least US$100 million;

trust companies that hold securities assets under trust of at least US$100 million;
77
Table of Contents
•
academic or charitable institutions whose memorandum/articles of incorporation state that their own internal funds may be used in investments and the management of the investments
shall be delegated to outside managers; and
•
any other institutional investors which hold securities assets of at least US$100 million.
In addition, QFIIs are allowed to engage in New Taiwan Dollar interest rate derivatives products (including forward rate
agreement, interest rate swap, and interest rate options) up to the amount of underlying positions in government bonds, term deposits and money market instruments.
Each QFII wishing to invest directly in the Taiwan securities market is required to apply for an investment permit from the
Securities and Futures Commission. If the investment amount exceeds US$50 million, an approval from the Central Bank of China is also required. If it is the first time a QFII files its application with the ROC SFC for the investment in ROC
securities market, the application documentation to the Securities and Futures Commission shall include:
•
the appointment of a local agent and custodian;
•
proof of eligibility;
•
a copy of the custodian contract; and
•
other documentation required by the ROC SFC.
In addition, pursuant to a letter issued by the Securities and Futures Commission, dated November 13, 2001, Chinese translations of documents made in
foreign languages are not required any longer.
The
consularisation/notarisation of the Certificate of Incorporation/Registration (COI/COR, or equivalent document) is no longer required. However, the QFII applicant has to make a declaration that the above document provided is a true copy and agree
that any false declaration/document will be subject to competent authorities' penalty.
Generally, qualified foreign institutional investors who receive a permit may invest up to US$3 billion and are required to remit the full amount into Taiwan within two years of receiving the investment permit.
Capital remitted into Taiwan by qualified foreign institutional investors may be repatriated at any time without the approval of the Securities and Futures Commission. Capital gains and income on investments may also be repatriated at any time.
General Foreign Investors
General foreign investors may generally invest in R.O.C. securities, as such
term is defined in the Regulations Governing Investment in Securities by Overseas Chinese and Foreign Nationals, up to a limit of US$50 million if they are institutional investors and US$5 million if they are individual investors after obtaining
approval issued by Taiwan Stock Exchange.
Foreign Investment Approval
Other than:
•
qualified foreign institutional investors;
•
general foreign investors; and
•
investors in overseas convertible bonds and depositary receipts,
78
Table of Contents
foreign investors (both institutional and individual) who wish to make direct investments in the shares of Taiwan
companies are required to submit a "foreign investment approval" application to the Investment Commission of the Ministry of Economic Affairs of Taiwan or other government authority and enjoy benefits granted under the Regulations
Governing Investments by Foreigners. The Investment Commission or other government authority reviews each foreign investment approval application and approves or disapproves the application after consultation with other governmental agencies. Any
non-Taiwan person possessing a foreign investment approval may repatriate annual net profits and interests attributable to an approved investment. Investment capital and capital gains attributable to the investment may be repatriated with approval
of the Investment Commission or other government authority.
In
addition to the general restrictions against direct investments by foreign investors in ROC companies, foreign investors are currently prohibited from investing in certain prohibited industries in Taiwan under the "Negative List." The
prohibition of the Negative List is absolute in the absence of a specific exemption from the application of the Negative List. The prohibition on direct foreign investment in the prohibited industries is absolute in the absence of a specific
exemption from the application of the Negative List. Under the Negative List, some other industries are restricted so that foreign investors may directly invest only up to a specified level and with the specific approval of the relevant authority
responsible for enforcing the legislation of which the Negative List is intended to implement. Our business is not a restricted industry under the Negative List.
Exchange Controls
Taiwan's Foreign Exchange Control Statute and regulations provide that all foreign exchange transactions must be executed by banks designed to handle
foreign exchange transactions by the Ministry of Finance by the Central Bank of China. Current regulations favor trade-related foreign exchange transactions. Consequently, foreign currency earned from exports of merchandise and service may now be
retained and used freely by exporters. All foreign currency needed for the importation of merchandise and services may be purchased from the designated foreign exchange banks.
Aside from trade-related foreign exchange transactions, Taiwan companies and residents may remit to and from Taiwan foreign
currencies of up to US$50 million (or its equivalent) and US$5 million, (or its equivalent) respectively in each calendar year. These limits apply to remittance involving a conversion between NT dollars and US dollars or other foreign currencies. A
requirement is also imposed on all private enterprises to register all medium and long-term foreign debt with the CBC.
In addition, foreign currency earned from or needed to be paid for direct investment or portfolio investments, which are approved by the competent
authorities, may be retained or sold by the investors or purchased freely from the designated bank.
Aside from the transactions discussed above, a foreign person without an alien resident card or an unrecognized foreign entity may remit to and from
Taiwan foreign currencies of up to US$100,000 per remittance without obtaining prior approval or permit if required documentation is provided to Taiwan authorities. This limit applies only to remittance involving a conversion between NT dollars and
US dollars or other foreign currencies.
Depositary Receipts
In April 1992, the Securities and Futures Commission began allowing
Taiwan companies listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange to sponsor the issuance and sale of depositary receipts evidencing depositary shares. Approvals for these issuances are still required. In December 1994, the Ministry of Finance began allowing
companies whose shares are traded on the Over-the-Counter Securities Exchange to sponsor the issuance and sale of depositary receipts evidencing depositary shares.
A holder of depositary shares wishing to withdraw common shares underlying depositary shares is required to appoint a
qualified local agent to perform services in connection with the withdrawal from the depositary receipt facility. In addition, the withdrawing holder is also required to appoint a custodian bank to hold the securities in safekeeping, make
confirmations, settle trades and report all relevant information. Without making this appointment
79
Table of Contents
and the opening of accounts, the withdrawing holder would be unable to subsequently sell the common shares withdrawn from
a depositary receipt facility on both the Taiwan Stock Exchange and the Over-the-Counter Exchange. The withdrawing holder is also generally required to appoint a tax agent who also serves as guarantor for the withdrawing holder's ROC tax
payment obligations. The tax guarantor must meet certain qualifications set by the Ministry of Finance. Under current ROC law, repatriation of profits by a non-Taiwan withdrawing holder is subject to the submission of evidence of the appointment of
a tax agent to, and the approval by, the tax authority or submission of tax clearance certificates as long as the capital gains from securities transactions are exempt from ROC income tax. As required by the Central Bank of China, if repatriation by
a holder is based on a tax clearance certificate, the aggregate amount of the cash dividends or interest on bank deposits converted into foreign currencies to be repatriated by the holder will not exceed the amount, as applicable, of:
(1)
the net payment indicated on the withholding tax voucher issued by the tax authority,
(2)
the net investment gains as indicated on the holder's certificate of tax payment; or
(3)
the aggregate transfer price as indicated on the income tax return for the transfer of tax-deferred dividend shares.
Commencing three months after the issuance of a depositary share, a holder of
the depositary share may request the depositary issuing the depositary share to cause the underlying common shares to be sold in Taiwan or to withdraw the common shares and deliver the common shares to the holder. Such three month period will not
apply to depositary shares issued upon deposit of secondary market shares, treasury shares or other existing shares. A citizen of the People's Republic of China is not permitted to withdraw and hold our common shares.
No deposits of shares may be made in a depositary receipt facility and no
depositary receipts may be issued against deposits without specific Securities and Futures Commission approval, unless they are:
(1)
stock dividends,
(2)
free distributions of common shares;
(3)
due to the exercise by a holder of his or her preemptive rights in the event of capital increases for cash; or
(4)
due to the direct purchase of shares or purchase through the depositary in the domestic market or delivery of shares to the custodian for deposit in the depositary receipt facility.
In this event, and subject to the acceptance of the depositary the total number of depositary receipts outstanding after an issuance cannot exceed the number of issued depositary shares previously approved by the Securities and Futures Commission in
connection with the offering plus any depositary shares issued pursuant to the events described in (1), (2) and (3) above. These issuances may only be made to the extent previously issued depositary shares have been cancelled and the corresponding
common shares which are withdrawn from our the depositary facility by holders of depositary shares have been sold in the domestic market in Taiwan.
A depositary may convert New Taiwan dollars from the proceeds of the sale of common shares or cash distributions received
into other currencies, including US dollars. A depositary must obtain foreign exchange approval from the Central Bank of China on a payment-by-payment basis for conversion into New Taiwan dollars of subscription payments for rights offerings or
conversion into foreign currencies from the proceeds from the sale of subscription rights for new common shares. It is expected that the Central Bank of China will grant this approval as a routine matter.
A holder of depositary shares may convert NT dollars into other currencies
from proceeds from the sale of any underlying common shares. Proceeds from the sale of the underlying common shares withdrawn from the depositary receipt facility may be used for reinvestment in securities listed on both the Taiwan Stock Exchange
and the Over-
80
Table of Contents
the-Counter Exchange, provided that the investor designates a local securities firm or financial institution as agent to
open an NT dollar bank account in advance.
E. Taxation
ROC Tax Considerations
The following summarizes the principal ROC tax consequences of owning and disposing of the ADSs and shares to a holder of
ADSs or shares that is not a resident of Taiwan. An individual holder will be considered as not a resident of Taiwan for the purposes of this section if he or she is not physically present in Taiwan for 183 days or more during any calendar year,
except if the individual holder has both ROC and non-ROC nationalities and has a registered address in the ROC. An entity holder will be considered as not a resident of Taiwan if it is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than Taiwan and
has no fixed place of business or other permanent establishment in Taiwan. Prospective purchasers of ADSs should consult their own tax advisors concerning the tax consequences of owning ADSs or shares in Taiwan and any other relevant taxing
jurisdiction to which they are subject.
Dividends
Dividends, whether in cash or shares, declared by us out of retained
earnings and paid out to a holder that is not a Taiwan resident in respect of shares represented by ADSs are subject to ROC withholding tax at the time of distribution. The current rate of withholding for non-residents is 30% for a non-resident
individual and 25% for a non-resident entity of the amount of the distribution in the case of cash dividends or of the par value of the shares distributed in the case of stock dividends. However, the rate of withholding is 20% if the non-resident
holder obtains foreign investment approval pursuant to Statute for Foreigner's Investment or Statute for Overseas Chinese's Investment. Under current practice adopted by tax authorities, a 20% withholding rate is applied to a non-resident
ADS holder without requiring the holder to apply for or obtain foreign investment approval. As discussed in the section "—Tax Reform" below, certain of our retained earnings will be subject to a 10% undistributed retained earnings
tax. To the extent dividends are paid out of retained earnings which have been subject to the retained earnings tax, the amount of such tax will be used by us to offset a non-resident's withholding tax liability on such dividend. Consequently,
the effective rate of withholding on dividends paid out of retained earnings previously subject to the retained earnings tax may be less then 20%. There is no withholding tax with respect to stock dividends declared out of our capital reserve.
Capital Gains
Under current ROC law, gains realized on ROC securities transactions are
exempt from income tax. In addition, transfers of ADSs by non-resident holders are not regarded as sales of Taiwan securities and, as a result, any gains derived therefrom are currently not subject to ROC income tax.
Securities Transaction Tax
The ROC government imposes a securities transaction tax that will apply to
sales of shares, but not sales of ADSs. The transaction tax, which is payable by the seller, is generally levied on sales of shares at the rate of 0.3% of the sales proceeds. Withdrawals of our shares from our depositary facility are not subject to
ROC security transaction tax.
Preemptive Rights
Distribution of statutory preemptive rights for shares in compliance with
the ROC Company Law is not subject to ROC tax. Proceeds derived from sales of statutory preemptive rights evidenced by securities by a non-resident holder may be subject to the Taiwan securities transaction tax, currently at the rate of 0.3% of the
gross amount received. Proceeds derived from sales of statutory preemptive rights which are not evidenced by securities are subject to capital gains tax at the rate of (1) 25% of the gains realized for non-ROC entity holders and (2) 35% of the
81
Table of Contents
gains realized for non-ROC individual holders. Subject to compliance with the ROC law, we have the sole discretion to
determine whether statutory preemptive rights are evidenced by securities or not.
Estate Taxation and Gift Tax
ROC
estate tax is payable on any property within Taiwan of a deceased individual who is a non-resident individual and ROC gift tax is payable on any property located within Taiwan donated by any such person. Estate tax is currently payable at rates
ranging from 2% of the first NT$600,000 to 50% of amounts over NT$100,000,000. Gift tax is payable at rates ranging from 4% of the first NT$600,000 to 50% of amounts over NT$45,000,000. Under ROC estate and gift tax laws, the shares will be deemed
located in Taiwan irrespective of the location of the owner. It is unclear whether a holder of ADSs will be considered to own shares for this purpose.
Tax Treaties
At present, Taiwan has income tax treaties with Indonesia, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Gambia, Swaziland, Malaysia, Vietnam, Macedonia, the
Netherlands, South Africa and the United Kingdom. It is unclear whether a non-ROC holder will be considered to own shares for the purposes of such treaties. Accordingly, a holder of ADSs who is otherwise entitled to the benefit of a treaty should
consult its own tax advisors concerning eligibility for benefits under the treaty with respect to the ADSs.
Tax Reform
In
order to increase Taiwan's competitiveness, an amendment to the ROC Income Tax law was enacted on January 1, 1998, to integrate the corporate income tax and the shareholder dividend tax with the aim of eliminating the double taxation effect for
resident shareholders of Taiwanese corporations.
Under this
amendment, a 10% retained earnings tax will be imposed on a company for its after-tax earnings generated after January 1, 1998 which are not distributed in the following year. The retained earnings tax so paid will further reduce the retained
earnings available for future distribution. When the company declares dividends out of those retained earnings, up to a maximum amount of 10% of the declared dividends will be credited against the 20% withholding tax imposed on the non-resident
holders of its shares.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations For U.S.
Persons
The following is a summary of the material U.S.
federal income tax consequences for beneficial owners of our shares or ADSs that purchase such shares or ADSs in connection with this offering, that hold the shares or ADSs as capital assets, and that are U.S. holders that are not citizens of the
ROC, do not have a permanent establishment in the ROC and are not physically present in the ROC for 183 days or more within a calendar year. You are a U.S. holder if you are:
•
a citizen or resident of the United States;
•
a corporation or partnership created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof;
•
an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source;
•
a trust that is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more U.S. persons have authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust;
or
•
a trust that has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.
This summary is based on current law, which is subject to change, perhaps
retroactively. It is for general purposes only and you should not consider it to be tax advice. In addition, it is based in part on representations by
82
Table of Contents
the depositary and assumes that each obligation under the deposit agreement and any related agreement will be performed
in accordance with its terms. This summary does not represent a detailed description of all the U.S. federal income tax consequences to you in light of your particular circumstances. In addition, it does not represent a detailed description of the
U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to you if you are subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws including if you are:
•
a dealer in securities or currencies;
•
a trader in securities if you elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for your securities holdings;
•
a financial institution or an insurance company;
•
a tax-exempt organization;
•
a regulated investment company;
•
a real estate investment trust;
•
a person liable for alternative minimum tax;
•
a person holding shares as part of a hedging, integrated or conversion transaction, constructive sale or straddle;
•
a person owning, actually or constructively, 10% or more of our voting stock; or
•
a U.S. holder whose "functional currency" is not the United States dollar.
We cannot assure you that a later change in law will not alter significantly the tax considerations that we describe in this
summary.
If a partnership holds our shares or ADSs, the tax
treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding our shares or ADSs, you should consult your tax advisor.
You should consult your own tax advisor concerning the particular U.S.
federal income tax consequences to you of the ownership and disposition of the shares or ADSs, as well as the consequences to you arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.
In general, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. person who is the beneficial owner of an ADS will be treated as the
owner of the shares underlying its ADS. However, the U.S. Treasury has expressed concerns that parties involved in transactions in which depositary shares are pre-released may be taking actions that are inconsistent with the claiming of foreign tax
credits by the holders of ADSs. Accordingly, the analysis of the creditability of ROC taxes described below could be affected by future actions that may be taken by the U.S. Treasury. Deposits or withdrawals of shares by U.S. holders for ADSs
generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax.
Taxation of
Dividends
Except as discussed below with respect to
the passive foreign investment company rules, the amount of distributions (including net amounts withheld in respect of ROC withholding taxes) you receive on your shares or ADSs (other than certain pro rata distributions of shares to all
shareholders) will generally be treated as dividend income to you if the distributions are made from our current and accumulated earnings and profits as calculated according to U.S. federal income tax principles. In determining the net amounts
withheld in respect of ROC taxes, any reduction in the amount withheld on account of a ROC credit in respect of the 10% retained earnings tax imposed on us is not considered a withholding tax and will not be treated as distributed to you or
creditable by you against your U.S. federal income tax. Such income will be includible in your gross income as ordinary income on the day you actually or constructively receive it, which in the case of an ADS will be the date actually or
83
Table of Contents
constructively received by the depositary. The amount of any distribution of property other than cash will be the fair
market value of such property on the date it is distributed. You will not be entitled to claim a dividend received deduction with respect to distributions you receive from us.
With respect to U.S. holders who are individuals, certain dividends received from a foreign corporation before January 1,
2009, on shares (or ADSs backed by such shares) that are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States may be subject to reduced rates of taxation. We believe that our ADSs, which are listed on the New York Stock
Exchange, are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. There can be no assurance that our ADSs will continue to be readily tradable on an established securities market in later years (or that our shares will be
readily tradable on an established securities market in any given year). Individuals that do not meet a minimum holding period requirement during which they are not protected from the risk of loss or that elect to treat the dividend income as
"investment income" pursuant to section 163(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code will not be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation regardless of the trading status of our shares or ADSs. Holders should consult their own tax advisors
regarding the application of these rules given their particular circumstances.
The amount of any dividend paid in NT dollars will equal the US dollar value of the NT dollars you receive, calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date you actually or constructively receive the
dividend, which in the case of an ADS will be the date actually or constructively received by the depositary, regardless of whether the NT dollars are actually converted into US dollars. If the NT dollars received as a dividend are not converted
into US dollars on the date of receipt, you will have a basis in the NT dollars equal to their US dollar value on the date of receipt. Any gain or loss you realize if you subsequently sell or otherwise dispose of the NT dollars will be ordinary
income or loss from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.
Subject to certain limitations under the Internal Revenue Code, you may be entitled to a credit or deduction against your U.S. federal income taxes for
the net amount of any ROC taxes that are withheld from dividend distributions made to you. The election to receive a credit or deduction must be made annually, and applies to all foreign taxes for the applicable tax year. The limitation on foreign
taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. For this purpose, dividends we pay with respect to shares or ADS will generally be considered "passive income" or, for certain holders, "
financial services income." You may be subject to special rules if your foreign source income during the taxable year consists entirely of "qualified passive income" and if you have US$300 or less, or US$600 or less if you file a
joint return, of creditable foreign taxes which you have paid or accrued during the taxable year. Furthermore, you will not be allowed a foreign tax credit for foreign taxes imposed on dividends paid on shares or ADSs if you (1) have held shares or
ADSs for less than a specified minimum period during which you are not protected from risk of loss, (2) are obligated to make payments related to the dividends or (3) hold the shares or ADSs in arrangements in which your expected economic profit,
after non-U.S. taxes, is insubstantial compared to the foreign tax credit generated. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex. We therefore urge you to consult your tax advisor regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under
your particular circumstances.
To the extent that the amount
of any distribution you receive exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits for a taxable year, the distribution will first be treated as a tax-free return of capital, causing a reduction in your adjusted basis in the shares or ADSs and
thereby increasing the amount of gain, or decreasing the amount of loss, you will recognize on a subsequent disposition of the shares or ADSs. The balance in excess of adjusted basis, if any, will be taxable to you as capital gain recognized on a
sale or exchange.
It is possible that pro rata distributions
of shares to all shareholders may be made in a manner that is not subject to U.S. federal income tax. In the event that such distributions are tax-free, the basis of any new shares so received will be determined by allocating the U.S. holder's
basis in the old shares between the old shares and the new shares, based on their relative fair market values on the date of distribution. For U.S. tax purposes, any such tax-free share distribution and any distributions in excess of current and
accumulated earnings and profits and distributions of shares generally would not result in foreign source income to you. Consequently, you may not be able to use the foreign tax credit associated with any ROC withholding tax imposed on such
distributions unless you can use the credit against U.S. tax due on other foreign source income in the appropriate category for foreign tax credit purposes. You should consult your own tax advisors regarding all aspects of the foreign tax credit.
Taxation of Capital Gains
Except as discussed below with respect to the passive foreign investment
company rules, when you sell or otherwise dispose of your shares or ADSs, you will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the US dollar value of the amount realized for the shares or ADSs and your basis in the
shares or ADSs, determined in US dollars. If you are an individual, and the shares or ADSs being sold or otherwise disposed of are capital assets that you have held for more than one year, your gain recognized will be taxed at a maximum rate of 15%.
Your ability to deduct capital losses is subject to limitations. Any gain or loss you recognize will generally be treated as U.S. source gain or loss.
If you pay any ROC securities transaction tax, such tax is not treated as an income tax for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and therefore will not be a
creditable foreign tax for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However,
84
Table of Contents
subject to limitations under the Internal Revenue Code, such tax may be deductible. You are urged to consult your tax
advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of these taxes.
Passive Foreign Investment Company
Based on the projected composition of our income and valuation of our assets, including goodwill, we do not expect to be a passive foreign investment company for 2003 and do not expect to become one in the future, although there can be no
assurance in this regard.
In general, a company is
considered a passive foreign investment company for any taxable year if either:
•
at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, which is income derived from certain dividends, interest, royalties, rents, annuities or property transactions; or
•
at least 50% of the value of its assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income.
The 50% of value test is based on the average of the value of our assets for
each quarter during the taxable year. If we own at least 25% by value of another company's stock, we will be treated, for purposes of the passive foreign investment company rules, as owning our proportionate share of the assets and receiving
our proportionate share of the income of that company.
In
determining that we do not expect to be a passive foreign investment company, we are relying on our projected capital expenditure plans and projected revenues for the current year and for future years. In addition, our determination is based on a
current valuation of our assets, including goodwill. In calculating goodwill, we have valued our total assets based on our total market value, which is based on the market value of our shares and is subject to change. In addition, we have made a
number of assumptions regarding the allocation of goodwill to active and passive assets. We believe our valuation approach is reasonable. However, it is possible that the Internal Revenue Service will challenge the valuation or allocation of our
goodwill, which may also result in us being classified as a passive foreign investment company.
In addition, the determination of whether we are a passive foreign investment company is made annually. Accordingly, it is possible that we may become a
passive foreign investment company in the current or any future taxable year due to changes in our asset or income composition. Because we have valued our goodwill based on the market value of our shares, a decrease in the price of our shares may
result in our becoming a passive foreign investment company.
If we are a passive foreign investment company for any taxable year during which you hold shares or ADSs, you will be subject to special tax rules with respect to any "excess distribution" that you receive and any gain you realize
from a sale or other disposition (including a pledge) of shares or ADSs. Distributions you receive in a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions you received during the shorter of the three preceding taxable years
or your holding period for shares or ADSs will be treated as excess distributions. Under these special tax rules:
•
the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over your holding period for shares or ADSs;
•
the amount allocated to the current taxable year, and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which we were a passive foreign investment company, will be treated as
ordinary income; and
•
the amount allocated to each other year will be subject to tax at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax
will be imposed on the resulting tax attributable to each such year.
If you hold shares or ADSs in any year in which we are a passive foreign investment company, you are required to file Internal Revenue Service Form 8621.
85
Table of Contents
In certain circumstances, a U.S. holder, in lieu of being subject to the passive foreign investment
company rules discussed above, may make an election to include gain on the stock of a passive foreign investment company as ordinary income under a mark-to-market method provided that such stock is regularly traded on a qualified exchange. Under
this method, any difference between the stock's fair market value and its adjusted basis at the end of the year is accounted for by either an inclusion in income or a deduction from income. Under current law, the mark-to-market election may be
available to you because the ADSs will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, which constitutes a qualified exchange as designated in the Internal Revenue Code, although there can be no assurance that the ADSs will be regularly traded. You should
also note that it is intended that only the ADSs and not the shares will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Our shares are listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange, which must meet certain trading, listing, financial disclosure and other
requirements to be treated as a qualified exchange under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations for purposes of the mark-to-market election, and no assurance can be given that the shares will be "regularly traded" for purposes of the
mark-to-market election.
If you make an effective
mark-to-market election, you will include in income each year as ordinary income the excess of the fair market value of your passive foreign investment company shares or ADSs at the end of the year over your adjusted tax basis in the shares. You
will be entitled to deduct as an ordinary loss each year the excess of your adjusted tax basis in the shares or ADSs over their fair market value at the end of the year, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a
result of the mark-to-market election.
Your adjusted tax basis
in passive foreign investment company shares or ADSs will be increased by the amount of any income inclusion and decreased by the amount of any deductions under the mark-to-market rules. If you make a mark-to-market election it will be effective for
the taxable year for which the election is made and all subsequent taxable years unless the shares or ADSs cease to be passive foreign investment company stock that is regularly traded on a qualified exchange or the Internal Revenue Service consents
to the revocation of the election. You should consult your tax advisor about the availability of the mark-to-market election, and whether making the election would be advisable in your particular circumstances.
Alternatively, a U.S. holder of shares or ADSs in a passive foreign
investment company can sometimes avoid the rules described above by electing to treat the company as a "qualified electing fund" under section 1295 of the Internal Revenue Code. This option is not available to you because we do not intend
to comply with the requirements necessary to permit you to make this election.
U.S. holders who are individuals will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividends received from us prior to January 1, 2009, if we are a passive foreign investment company in the taxable year in
which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.
You should consult your own tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding shares or ADSs if we are considered a passive foreign investment company in any taxable year.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
In general, unless you are an exempt recipient such as a corporation,
information reporting will apply to dividends in respect of the shares or ADSs and to the proceeds from the sale of your shares or ADSs paid within the United States (and in some cases, outside of the United States). Additionally, if you fail to
provide your taxpayer identification number, or fail either to report in full dividend and interest income or to make the necessary certifications, you will be subject to backup withholding.
Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a
refund or a credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability, provided you furnish the required information to the Internal Revenue Service.
Inheritance and Gift Tax
The ROC imposes an estate tax on a decedent who owns shares, and possibly ADSs, even if the decedent was not a citizen or resident of the ROC. See
"—ROC Tax Considerations." The amount of any inheritance tax paid to the ROC may be eligible for credit against the amount of U.S. federal estate tax imposed on your estate. You should consult your personal tax advisors to determine
whether and to what extent you may be entitled to such credit.
Under present law, a comparable U.S. tax credit for foreign gift taxes (such as those imposed by the ROC) is not available.

I. Subsidiary Information
Not applicable.
ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of loss related to adverse changes in market prices, including interest rates and foreign exchange rates, of financial
instruments. We are exposed to various types of market risks, including changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, in the normal course of business.
We use financial instruments, including variable rate debt and swap, cap and forward contracts, to manage risks associated
with our interest rate and foreign currency exposures through a controlled program of risk management in accordance with established policies. These policies are reviewed and approved by our board of directors. Our treasury operations are subject to
internal audit on a regular basis. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Since export sales are primarily conducted in US dollars, we had US dollar-denominated accounts receivables of US$312 million at December 31, 2002. We
also had Japanese Yen-denominated accounts receivable of ¥6,606 million attributable to our Japanese operations. We had US dollar- and Japanese Yen-denominated accounts payable of US$204 million and ¥13,849 million.
At December 31, 2002, we had US dollar-, Japanese Yen- and Euro-denominated
savings accounts of US$44 million, ¥2,076 million and EUR 0.8 million, respectively. We also had certificates of deposit denominated in US dollars, Japanese Yen, EUR and NT dollars of US$636 million, ¥33,600 million, EUR 29 million and
NT$35,781 million, respectively.
Our primary market risk
exposures relate to interest rate movements on borrowings and exchange rate movements on foreign currency denominated capital expenditures relating to equipment used in manufacturing processes (including photo etching and chemical vapor deposition)
and purchased primarily from Japan and the

United States. The fair value of forward exchange contracts and interest rate swap, and cap agreements has been
determined by obtaining the estimated amount from our bankers that would be received/(paid) to terminate the contracts.
Interest rate risk
Our major market risk exposure is changing interest rates. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our long-term
debt obligations. We primarily enter into debt obligations to support general corporate purposes including capital expenditures and working capital needs. We use interest rate swaps and caps from time to time to modify our exposure to interest rate
movements and reduce borrowing costs. Interest rate swaps and caps limit the risks of fluctuating interest rates by allowing us to convert a portion of the interest on our borrowings from a variable rate to a fixed rate.
The table below provides information as of December 31, 2002 about our
financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates, including debt obligations and certain assets. For debt obligations, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity
dates. The information is presented in the currencies in which the instruments are denominated.

Foreign currency risk
Although the majority of our transactions are in NT dollars, some transactions are based in other currencies. The primary
currencies to which we are exposed are the US dollar and the Japanese Yen. We have in the past and may in the future enter into short-term, forward exchange contracts to hedge the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on certain underlying assets,
liabilities, and firm commitments for operating expenses and capital expenditures denominated in US dollars. The purpose of entering into these hedges is to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on the results of operations. Gains and
losses on foreign currency contracts and foreign currency denominated liabilities are recorded in the period of the exchange rate changes. The contracts have maturity dates that do not exceed three months.
As of December 31, 2002, United Microelectronics had no outstanding foreign
currency forward contracts.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
United Microelectronics Corporation
We have audited the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets of United Microelectronics Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial
statements of UMC Group (USA), a wholly-owned subsidiary, and UMC Japan, a 51.47% owned subsidiary, whose statements reflect total assets of NT$10,171 million and NT$25,759 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2000, and total revenues of
NT$43,491 million and NT$10,542 million, respectively, for the year then ended. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for UMC Group
(USA) and UMC Japan, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the reports of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the financial
statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of United Microelectronics Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2002 and the consolidated results of their operations and
their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States would have affected the consolidated stockholders' equity and financial position as of December 31, 2001 and 2002, and the consolidated results of operations for
the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, to the extent summarized in Note 28 to the consolidated financial statements.

UNITED MICROELECTRONICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. History and Organization
United Microelectronics Corporation ("the Company") was incorporated in May 1980
and commenced operations in April 1982. The Company's major business activity is the dedicated full service semiconductor wafer foundry. The Company provides a variety of services to fit individual customer's needs, including intellectual
property, embedded IC design, design verification, mask tooling, wafer fabrication, testing, etc. The Company's common shares were publicly listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange in July 1985 and its American Depository Shares ("ADSs")
were listed on the New York Stock Exchange in September of 2000.
United
Microelectronics Corporation, United Integrated Circuits Corporation ("United Integrated Circuits"), United Silicon Incorporated ("United Silicon"), United Semiconductor Corporation ("United Semiconductor") and UTEK
Semiconductor Corporation ("UTEK Semiconductor") were merged into one publicly traded entity, the Company, on January 3, 2000.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and certain majority owned (50% or more) subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to collectively as
"the Group") in accordance with the requirements of ROC Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("ROC SFAS") No.7 and the regulations of the Taiwan Securities and Futures Commission ("Taiwan SFC"). All intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Pursuant to ROC SFAS NO.7 and the regulations of the SFC, if the total assets and operating revenues of a subsidiary are less than 10% of the non-consolidated total assets and operating revenues of the Company,
respectively, the subsidiary's financial statements may, at the option of the Company, not be consolidated. Irrespective of the above test, when the total combined assets or operating revenues of all such non-consolidated subsidiaries
constitute up to 30% of the Company's non-consolidated total assets or operating revenues, then each individual subsidiary with total assets or operating revenues up to 3% of the Company's non-consolidated total assets or operating
revenues has to be included in the consolidation. Such subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements thereafter, unless the percentage of the combined total assets or operating revenues for all such subsidiaries becomes less
than 20% of the Company's respective unconsolidated amount.

Use of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Translation of Foreign Currency Transactions
The accounts of the Company are maintained in New Taiwan dollars, the functional currency.
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Receivables, other monetary assets, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated
into New Taiwan dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains or losses are included in the current year's results. The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries and investees are translated into New
Taiwan dollars using the spot rates as of each financial statement date for asset and liability accounts, average exchange rates for profit and loss accounts and historical exchange rates for equity accounts. The cumulative translation effects for
subsidiaries and investees using functional currencies other than the New Taiwan dollars are included in the cumulative translation adjustment in stockholders' equity.
Convenience Translation into US Dollars
The Company prepares its financial statements in New Taiwan ("NT") dollars, its reporting currency. The United States
("US") dollar amounts disclosed in the financial statements as of December 31, 2002, are presented solely for the convenience of the readers and were translated at the Federal Reserve noon buying rate of NT$34.70 to US$1.00 in effect on
December 31, 2002. Such translation amounts are unaudited and it should not be construed that the NT dollar amounts represent, or have been, or could be, converted into US dollars at that or any other rate.

Derivative Financial Instruments
Hedging instruments are accounted for on a net accrual basis in accordance with the contractual interest rate or foreign exchange rate.
Other derivative instruments are carried at fair value on the balance sheet date with any changes in unrealized gain or loss charged or credited to earnings for the year.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and with maturity dates that do not present significant
risks or changes in value resulting from changes in interest rates.
Marketable Securities
Marketable securities are
recorded at cost when acquired and are stated at the lower of aggregate cost or market value at the balance sheet date. The market value of listed debt and equity securities or closed-end funds is determined by the average closing price during the
last month of the fiscal year. The market value for open-ended funds is determined by their equity per unit at the balance sheet date. The amount by which aggregate cost exceeds market value is reported as a loss in the current year. In subsequent
periods, recoveries of market value are recognized as a gain to the extent that the market value does not exceed the original aggregate cost of the investment.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on management's judgment and on the evaluation of collectibility and aging analysis of accounts and other
receivables.
Inventories
Inventories are recorded at cost when acquired and stated at the lower of aggregate cost,
based on the weighted average method, or market value at the balance sheet date. The market values of raw materials and supplies are determined on the basis of replacement cost while the work in process and finished goods are determined by net
realizable values. An allowance for loss on decline in market value and obsolescence is provided, when necessary.
Long-term Investments
Long-term investments are recorded at cost when acquired. Investments acquired by contribution of technological know-how are credited to deferred credits among
affiliates, which will be amortized to income over a period of five years.
F-13
Table of Contents
UNITED MICROELECTRONICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Investments in less than 20% owned listed companies where significant influence on operational decisions of the
investees does not reside with the Group, are accounted for by the lower of aggregate cost or market value method. The unrealized loss resulting from the decline in market value of investments that are held for long-term investment purposes is
deducted from the stockholders' equity. The Group's investments in less than 20% owned unlisted companies are accounted for under the cost method, unless an other than temporary impairment is evident, in which case they are written down to
fair value as a new cost basis.
Investment income or loss from investments in
both listed and unlisted companies is accounted for under the equity method provided that the Group owns at least 20% of the outstanding voting shares of the investees and has significant influence on operational decisions of the investees. The
difference of the acquisition cost and the underlying equity in the investee's net assets is amortized over five years.
Unrealized intercompany gains and losses are eliminated under the equity method. Profit from sales of depreciable assets between the investee and the Company is amortized
and recognized based on the assets' economic service lives. Profit from other types of intercompany transactions is recognized when realized. The increase in the Group's proportionate share in the net assets of its investee resulting from
its subscription to additional shares of stock, issued by such investee, at the rate not proportionate to its existing equity ownership in such investee, is credited to a capital reserve account. Any decrease in the Group's proportionate share
in the net assets of investee is debited against the existing balance of the similar capital reserve account, where the credit balance can only be offset to zero. If any excess amount exists, it will be debited against unappropriated retained
earnings.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Interest incurred on loans used to finance
the construction of property, plant and equipment is capitalized and depreciated accordingly.
Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis using the economic service lives of the assets less any salvage value. When the economic service lives are completed, property, plant and equipment, which are still
in use, are depreciated over the newly estimated remaining useful lives of the salvage value. The economic service lives of the property, plant and equipment are as follows: buildings—3 to 55 years; machinery and equipment—5 years;
transportation equipment—2 to 5 years; furniture and fixtures—2 to 20 years; leased assets and leasehold improvements—the lease period, or economic service lives, whichever is shorter.
F-14
Table of Contents
UNITED MICROELECTRONICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant renewals and improvements are treated as
capital expenditures and are depreciated accordingly. When property, plant and equipment are disposed of, their original cost and accumulated depreciation are written off and the related gain, net of income tax, is included in the income statement
and subsequently transferred to capital reserve in the same year. However, according to amendments in ROC Company Law, such transfer of gain to capital reserve shall no longer be required with effect on January 1, 2001. The accumulated gain
transferred in prior years can be transferred back from the capital reserve and be treated as a one-time increase in retained earnings subject to shareholders' approval.
Deferred Charges
Deferred charges are stated at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis as follows: intellectual property and technology license fee—the term of contract or
economic lives of the related technology, software—3 years; facilities use rights—15 years; bond issuance costs—over the life of the bonds; patents—over economic service lives; and acquired technological know-how—over the
estimated useful life of the know-how.
At each balance sheet date, the Group
assesses whether there is any indication of impairment other than temporary. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated and provision for impairment losses is provided accordingly.
Convertible and Exchangeable Bonds
The excess of the stated redemption price over the par value is accrued as compensation
interest payable over the redemption period, using the effective interest method.
When convertible bondholders exercise their conversion rights, the book value of bonds is credited to common stock at an amount equal to the par value of the common stock and the excess is credited to capital reserve; no gain or loss is
recognized on bond conversion.
When exchangeable bondholders exercise their
rights to exchange for the reference shares, the book value of bonds is to be offset with the book value of the investment in reference shares and the related stockholder's equities accounts, with the difference recognized as gain or loss on
disposal of investments.
F-15
Table of Contents
UNITED MICROELECTRONICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Pension Plan
The Group has funded defined benefit pension plans covering regular employees. The net pension cost is computed based on an actuarial valuation in accordance with the
provision of ROC SFAS No. 18, which requires consideration of pension cost components such as service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets and amortization of net obligation at transition. The unrecognized net asset or obligation at
transition is amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years. The pension fund is managed by an independently administered pension fund association.
Capital Reserve
The following shall accrue as capital reserve: (1) any premiums on capital stock; (2) the net appraisal surplus of each fiscal year; (3) any gain on disposal of assets (not applicable for 2001 and after); (4) the fair
market value of assets received from a merged company in excess of assumed liabilities and payment for shares held by shareholders of the merged company; (5) any donated surplus; and (6) change in an equity investee's capital structure. Capital
reserve shall be exclusively used to cover accumulated deficits when the legal reserve is insufficient to cover the deficits or distribution of stock dividends.
Income Tax
Provision for income tax includes deferred tax resulting from temporary differences and investment tax credits. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary
differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the difference is expected to reverse. Valuation allowance on deferred
tax assets is provided to the extent that it is more likely than not that the tax benefits will not be realized. The Group recognized the tax benefit from the tax credit incurred in the year equipment is acquired, or the year the expenditure arises
from research and development.
Income taxes (10%) on unappropriated earnings
are recorded as expenses in the year when the shareholders have resolved that the earnings shall be retained.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is
recognized when title and liability for risk of loss or damage to the products have been transferred to customers usually upon shipment. Sales return and allowances taken into consideration of customers' complaint and past experience are
accrued in the same year of sales. The connected cost is to be deducted from the total cost of goods sold.

UNITED MICROELECTRONICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Research and Development
Costs incurred by the Group in research and development activities are expensed as incurred.
Minority Interests
Minority interests in the income statement includes interest in the earnings or losses of
less than wholly-owned subsidiaries and the pre-acquisition earnings or losses of companies acquired during the year that the Group was not entitled to recognize.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share is calculated according to the ROC SFAS No.24. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by taking basic earnings per share into consideration plus additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive share equivalents had been issued. The net
income would also be adjusted for the interest derived from any underlying dilutive share equivalents. The weighted-average outstanding shares are restated for stock dividends and bonus share issues.
Certain Risks and Uncertainties
The Group is engaged in the foundry business of manufacturing semiconductor products and
sells its products primarily in Taiwan, Asia, North America and Europe, generally without requiring collateral. The Group's products are concentrated in the semiconductor industry, which is highly competitive and rapidly changing, and its
inventories are subject to rapid technological obsolescence. While the Group has programs to minimize the required inventories on hand and considers technological obsolescence in estimating required allowances to reduce amounts to fair market value,
such estimates could change in the future. Significant technological changes in the industry could affect operating results adversely.
Treasury Stock
Under ROC SFAS No. 30, treasury stock is accounted for under the cost method. Cost of treasury stock is shown as a deduction to stockholders' equity, while gain or loss of selling treasury stock is treated as
adjustment to capital reserves.
The Company's stock held by its
subsidiaries is also treated as treasury stock in the Company's stand-alone account since January 1, 2002.

3. Accounting Changes
On September 1, 2001, UNIPAC Optoelectronics Corp. ("UNIPAC") was merged into Acer Display Technology Inc. which was the surviving
corporate entity and was renamed AU Optronics Corp. As the Group has lost its significant influence over the investee, the investment was then accounted for under the lower of cost or market value method. Similarly, upon the listing of MediaTek
Incorporation on the Taiwan Stock Exchange in 2001, the Group lost its significant influence over MediaTek and therefore, the investment in MediaTek was accounted for under the lower of cost or market value method since then. Prior to these
transactions, the Group's investments in UNIPAC and MediaTek Incorporation were accounted for by equity method.
Prior to January 1, 2002, treasury stock held by the Company's subsidiaries was accounted for in the consolidation level only. Since January 1, 2002, the Company has
adopted ROC SFAS No. 30 to further include the Company's stock held by its subsidiaries as treasury stock in the Company's stand-alone account. This adoption has decreased the amount of long-term investment and stockholder's equity in
the consolidated balance sheet by NT$172 million, respectively, representing the treasury stock held by an unconsolidated subsidiary. The net impact caused by the accounting changes is considered insignificant.

22. Commitments and Contingencies
(1)
The Group's unused letters of credit for imports of machinery were approximately NT$76 million as of December 31, 2002.
(2)
The Group has entered into contracts, amounted to approximately NT$15.6 billion, with third parties for rights to use patents registered by the third parties. The contract period
was from 1995 to 2011. Royalty payables for the consecutive 5 years starting from 2003 through 2007 are approximately NT$2.5 billion, NT$1.3 billion, NT$1.3 billion, NT$1.2 billion, and NT$1.3 billion, respectively.
(3)
The Group has signed several construction contracts for the expansion of factory space. As of December 31, 2002, these construction contracts amounted to approximately NT$10.3
billion and the unaccrued portion of the contracts was approximately NT$4.8 billion.
(4)
On October 27, 1997, Oak Technology Inc. ("Oak") filed a complaint seeking a damage of US$750 million in the Northern District of California alleging that the Company
breached a Settlement Agreement entered on July 31, 1997 with respect to a settlement of a dispute between the Company and Oak concerning certain CD ROM controller products made by the Company and a patent owned by Oak. The Company denied Oak's
allegations and on December 24, 1997, filed its answer and affirmative defenses refuting Oak's claims. Based on the allegations that it is Oak which has breached the Settlement, the Company simultaneously filed a counterclaim against Oak,
seeking damages and a return of the millions paid to Oak under the Settlement. In addition, the Company further seeks a declaration that the Oak patent is invalid and/or unenforceable. Though Oak filed a complaint later with the International Trade
Commission ("ITC") repeating the allegations made in the District Court, both the ITC and the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued a ruling affirming that there was no infringement and no violation.
Oak filed enforceable commitments that it would no longer seek recoveries in
connection with the Oak patent and accordingly, the District Court concluded there was no longer dispute between Oak and the Company on the patent and the Company's claim for a declaration of invalidity and unenforceability will be dismissed.
The Company intends to continue to defend these matters vigorously. Furthermore, the management does not believe the Oak complaints will have any material adverse impact on the Company's operations and/or financial performance.

Remuneration to Directors—The
Company's Articles of Incorporation requires a cash remuneration payment to its directors. Under ROC GAAP, such payments are charged directly to retained earnings in the period shareholders approve such payment.
Under US GAAP, such cash payments should be recorded as compensation expense in the period
when services are rendered. The difference between US GAAP and ROC GAAP in this area would result in adjustments to net income and stockholders' equity as shown in the above schedules.
F-50
Table of Contents
UNITED MICROELECTRONICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Employee Bonuses—Certain employees of the Company are entitled to bonuses in accordance with provisions of the
Company's Articles of Incorporation. Employee bonuses are determined as discussed in Note 17. Under ROC GAAP, such bonuses are appropriated from retained earnings in the period shareholders' approval is obtained. If such employee bonuses
are settled through the issuance of stock, the amount charged against retained earnings is based on the par value of the common shares issued.
Under US GAAP, employee bonus expense is initially accrued when services are rendered and both the number of shares to be issued and the price per share are known. When
bonuses are approved by the shareholders in the subsequent year, an additional compensation expense is recorded for the difference between the amount initially recorded and the fair market value of shares granted to employees. The difference between
US GAAP and ROC GAAP in this area would result in adjustments to net income and stockholders' equity as shown in the above schedules. In addition, there is also a reclassification from retained earnings to capital reserve of NT$24,128 million,
NT$27,367 million and NT$ 29,305 million at December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002.
(2) Equity Investments—Net income variance between US GAAP and ROC GAAP
The Group's proportionate share of the income (loss) from an equity investee may differ if the equity investee's net income (loss) under ROC GAAP differs from US GAAP. The differences between ROC GAAP and US
GAAP for the equity investees include accounting for compensation, technological know-how and investment in marketable securities, etc.
(3) Marketable Securities and Long-term Investments
Under ROC GAAP, marketable securities are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market value. Under US GAAP Statement of Financial Accounting Standards,
("SFAS") 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," debt and equity securities that have readily determinable fair values are to be classified as either trading, available-for-sale or
held-to-maturity securities. Debt securities that the Group has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and reported at amortized cost. Debt and equity securities that are bought and traded
for short-term profit are classified as trading securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Debt and equity securities not classified as either held-to-maturity or trading securities are classified
as available-for-sale securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in a separate component of stockholders' equity.
The Group holds marketable securities that are mainly classified as trading securities. The portion of trading gains and losses for the
years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 on trading securities still held at each of the respective balance sheet dates were NT$0, NT$19,868 and NT$1,771,439 respectively.

The Group did not transfer any
available-for-sale securities to trading securities for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002. The amount of gains (losses) reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings on available-for-sale securities were
NT$46,229, NT$169,049, and NT$5,034,105 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively.
Under ROC GAAP, if an investor company invests in equity securities that are traded in an open market and uses the cost method for valuation purposes, then an investor company shall recognize losses if evidence
suggests that the value of an investment has been impaired and it is unlikely that the stock price will recover. The new cost of the long-term investment is the book value after recognizing the losses. Under US GAAP, for individual securities
classified as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity, an enterprise shall determine whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is other than temporary. If the decline in fair value is judged to be other than temporary, the
cost basis of the individual security shall be written down to fair value as a new cost basis and the amount of the write-down shall be included in earnings. The new cost basis shall not be changed for subsequent recoveries in fair value. Subsequent
increases in the fair value of available-for-sale securities shall be included in the other comprehensive income.

The Group has written down NT$415 million, NT$536 million and NT$1,409 million under ROC GAAP against certain
available-for-sale securities for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002. For US GAAP purpose, the Group further wrote down an additional NT$296 million, NT$3,305 million and NT$781 million for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and
2002. Among the NT$1,409 million recognized under ROC GAAP for the year ended December 31, 2002, NT$432 million had already been written down under US GAAP for the year ended December 31, 2001, which therefore has led to an increase in net income
under US GAAP for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Under ROC GAAP, equity
investments where a company has an ownership interest of at least 20% are generally required to be accounted for under the equity method. However, when there is evidence indicating that the investor company does not have significant influence over
the equity investee, despite an ownership interest of 20% or more, the investor company should not account for the equity investee under equity method. On the contrary, when there is evidence indicating that the investor company has significant
influence over the equity investee's operating and financial policies, despite an ownership interest of less than 20%, the investor company will account for the equity investee under equity method. Under US GAAP, the Group is required to use
the equity method of accounting for an investment in common stock when the investment in voting stock gives it the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of an investee. An investment (direct or indirect) of
20% or more of the voting stock of an investee leads to a presumption that in the absence of evidence to the contrary an investor has the ability to exercise significant influence over an investee. There were no significant differences between ROC
GAAP and US GAAP on balance sheets as of December 31, 2001 and 2002 and on income statements for the three years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002.
(4) Treasury Stock and Gain on Disposal of Treasury Stock
Under ROC GAAP, when the Group's equity investee sells the Company's stock it recognizes the gain or loss in its statement of operations. Under US GAAP, the
Group's equity in income (loss) of an investee is adjusted to eliminate the Company's proportionate share of any such gains or losses. Further, the Company's stock owned by an investee is proportionately deducted from the investment
as treasury stock.

(5) Technological Know-how
The Group entered into three joint ventures from 1995 through 1996. Both the Group and the joint venture partner contributed cash to the
joint ventures. In addition, the Group contributed technological know-how to the joint ventures for shares of the joint venture companies. The technological know-how contributed has not been recognized on the Group's balance sheet, as these
were internally generated intangible assets with no carrying value. Both parties mutually agreed to the value of this transferred technological know-how before the transfer of shares.
Under ROC GAAP, the Group recognized the cash contributed as the initial cost of the investment. The difference between the proportionate
share of the net assets in the joint venture and the cash contributed is amortized to income over the estimated useful life of the technological know-how, which is the source of this difference. Further, under ROC GAAP, the joint venture recognized
a value for the technological know-how as an intangible asset contributed, which is the cause of the difference between the proportionate share of the net assets and the cash contributed.
Under US GAAP, the investor initially records its joint venture investment at cost, representing the amount of cash contributed and/or net
book value of non-cash assets contributed. The joint venture normally records cash investments at the amount contributed, the non-cash assets at fair value and intangible assets at the predecessor basis, which is normally zero. The difference
between the proportionate share of the net assets in the joint venture and the cost of the investments is amortized to income over a period of five years. The joint venture does not recognize value for the technological know-how contributed, thus
causing a difference with ROC GAAP.
This practice only applies to entities
that are being consolidated or accounted for under the equity method.

(6) Convertible and Exchangeable Bonds
Convertible Bonds
When convertible securities are issued, ROC GAAP does not recognize or account for any beneficial conversion feature embedded in the securities. Under US GAAP, as
prescribed in the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Topic D-60, as amended by EITF 98-5, Accounting for the Issuance of Convertible Preferred Stock and Debt Securities with a Non-detachable Conversion Feature, such beneficial conversion
features should be recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to capital reserve. That amount should be calculated at the issuance date as the difference between the conversion price
and the fair value of the common stock, multiplied by the number of shares into which the security is convertible (intrinsic value). As a result, a bond discount is recognized by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of
that feature to capital reserve. The Group recognized interest expense of NT$1,274 million from February 1994, the date of issuance of the bonds, to May 1994, the date of first conversion, relating to a NT$1.5 billion bond. The Group also recognized
interest expense of NT$6,086 million from June 1994, the date of issuance of the bonds, to May 1996, the date of first conversion, relating to an US$160 million bond.
The Group recognized interest expense of approximately NT$800 million from May 10, 2000, the date of issuance of the bonds, to June 1, 2000,
the date of first conversion, related to its (Yen) 10 billion bond.
In
addition, according to EITF 85-17, the Group recognized an imputed interest expense together with a compensation interest of NT$570 million in total for the year ended December 31, 2002, relating to the US$302.4 million zero coupon convertible bonds
issued on December 12, 2001.
When a subsidiary or investee (the
"Issuer") issues convertible bonds to other parties, including the parent or investor, and bonds are converted into shares of the Issuer, the parent's or investor's ownership in the Issuer may decrease. Also, the parent's or
investor's ownership in the Issuer may increase upon conversion. Under ROC GAAP, this decrease or increase is treated as a one-time decrease or increase to capital reserve and /or retained earnings.
Under US GAAP, a decrease in ownership is recognized as a gain or loss in the income
statement upon conversion, as long as the value of the proceeds can be objectively determined and the realization of the gain is reasonably assured at the time of conversion. Under US GAAP, for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002,
approximately NT$141 million, nil and NT$9.5 million were reclassified from capital reserve to a gain in the income statement relating to these transactions.
F-55

UNITED MICROELECTRONICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Further under US GAAP, an increase in ownership is treated as a purchase of additional shares and the difference
between the total cost of the investment and the proportionate share of the fair value net assets is first allocated to identifiable tangible and intangible assets and the remaining unallocated amounts to goodwill, which was amortized over their
respective estimated useful lives up to January 1, 2002. Upon the first adoption of the SFAS No.141, "Business Combination" and SFAS No.142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" by the Group on January 1, 2002, goodwill created
from acquisition is no longer to be amortized. Under US GAAP, for the year ended December 31, 2000, the Group capitalized goodwill of NT$468.3 million related to a subsidiary's convertible bond, with NT$49.4 million, NT$93.7 million, and nil
being amortized in the income statement for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001, and 2002, respectively. Further, upon conversion of an equity investment's bond, which increased the Group's ownership, the difference of NT$519 million
between the total cost of the investment and proportionate share of the fair value net assets was being amortized over 5 years, which accounted for NT$54.8 million and NT$103.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively.
Again, due to the first adoption of SFAS No.141 & 142 on January 1, 2002, no amortization was made for the year ended December 31, 2002. Details of the new accounting treatment on goodwill are set out in the footnote "Adoption of SFAS
No.141 & 142" in the "Additional US GAAP Disclosures".
During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Group has invested a total amount of NT$2,502 million in three convertible bonds. Under the SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", an embedded
derivative instrument shall be separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative instrument pursuant to the statement if a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely
related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, b) the contract that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not remeasured at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings as
they occur and c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133. For an available-for-sale convertible debt securities, the conversion
option embedded must be separated from the debt host contract and accounted for as a derivative instrument provided that the conversion option would, as a freestanding instrument, be a derivative instrument subject to the requirement of SFAS No. 133
since the embedded conversion option satisfied the above three criteria. As a result, the embedded option contracts in the convertible bonds with the initial amount of NT$104 million in total at date of purchase were separated from the debt host
contracts and were accounted for as trading securities reporting at fair value, with unrealized loss of NT$25 million included in earnings for the year ended December 31, 2002. On the other hand, the debt host contracts with the initial amount of
NT$2,397 million were classified as available-for-sale securities, with an unrealized gain of NT$46 million reported in other comprehensive income.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Exchangeable Bonds
Bonds that are exchangeable into common stock of a third party is an expansion on the concept of convertible bonds.
Under ROC GAAP, when exchangeable bondholders exercise their rights to exchange for the
reference shares, the book value of bonds is to be offset with the book value of the investment in the reference shares together with the related stockholder's equities, with the difference recognized as gain or loss on disposal of investments.
Under US GAAP, as prescribed by SFAS No.133 and discussed above, the
exchangeable feature within exchangeable bonds is an embedded equity derivative within a debt instrument that satisfies the three criteria which requires it to be bifurcated and separately accounted for. The fair value of the exchangeable option
feature of the Group's first exchangeable bonds issued in May 2002 was measured as NT$2,025 million as at the date of issuance, which resulted to a reclassification from the bond value to financial instrument liability under US GAAP,
accordingly. As of December 31, 2002, the fair value of the option has decreased by NT$1,752 million, resulting in a gain being recognized for the year ended December 31, 2002 under US GAAP.
(7) Principle of Acquisition under the Purchase Method
Under ROC GAAP, the fair value of the net assets received is deemed to be the value of the
consideration for the acquisition of the remaining interests in United Semiconductor, United Silicon, UTEK Semiconductor and United Integrated Circuits and is reflected in the common stock and capital reserve in the balance sheet. The Group
estimated the fair value of the net assets acquired through two valuation models, profitability and net worth model, and a discounted cash flows model. They also used other considerations such as the valuation of current operations, synergies,
technical knowledge and future prospects. Under US GAAP, the acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and the purchase price was determined using the market value of the shares exchanged. The difference between the fair
value of the shares exchanged and the fair value of the net assets acquired creates goodwill. Goodwill was amortized on a straight-line basis over ten years. Upon the adoption of SFAS No.141 & 142 on January 1, 2002 by the Group, the goodwill
ceased to be amortized and is subject to impairment test only. The details of the adoption of SFAS No.141 & 142 are set out in the "Additional US GAAP Disclosures". The purchase price under US GAAP was determined based on the average
closing market price of the Company's stock on the five trading days beginning two days before June 16, 1999, the first day of trading after the announcement of the acquisition to determine the fair values of the shares exchanged.

(8) Earnings Per Share
Under ROC GAAP, basic earnings per
share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by taking basic earnings per share into consideration plus additional common shares that would
have been outstanding if the dilutive share equivalents had been issued. The net income would also be adjusted for the interest derived from any underlying dilutive share equivalents. The weighted-average outstanding shares are restated for stock
dividends issued and shares issued for employee bonuses, as described under (1) Compensation above.
Under US GAAP, basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by taking into consideration
additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive share equivalents had been issued. The net income would also be adjusted for the interest derived from any underlying dilutive share equivalents.
(9) Tax Effect of US GAAP Adjustments
Undistributed earnings generated after 1997 are subject to a 10% tax in compliance with the
Income Tax Law of the ROC. Under ROC GAAP, the 10% tax on undistributed earnings is recorded as an expense at the time shareholders resolve that its earnings shall be retained. Under US GAAP, the Group would measure its income tax expense, including
the tax effects of temporary differences, using the tax rate that includes the tax on undistributed earnings.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(10) Principles of Consolidation
Under ROC GAAP, certain 50% or more owned subsidiaries are not consolidated if they meet specific exclusion rules detailed in the accounting
policies footnote. Under US GAAP, the Company consolidates those subsidiaries which are excluded from consolidation under ROC GAAP due to the exclusion rules (Fortune Venture Capital Corporation, UMC Capital Corporation, United Microelectronics
Corp. (Samoa), and United Foundry Services, Inc.) The net income and stockholders' equity variances between US GAAP and ROC GAAP for those entities are included in the adjustment for equity investments.
(11) Stock Dividends
Under ROC GAAP, stock dividends are recorded at par with a charge to retained earnings. Under US GAAP, if the ratio of distribution is less
than 25 percent of the same class of shares outstanding, the fair value of the shares issued should be charged to retained earnings. The accumulative effect of these dividends would have decreased retained earnings and increased capital reserve for
the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 by approximately NT$127,880 million, NT$187,416 million and NT$243,546 million, respectively.
(12) Gain on Disposal of Fixed Assets
Under ROC GAAP, gains and losses from the disposal of fixed assets are both recognized in the statement of operations, with gains reclassified from retained earnings to
capital reserve. However, according to amendments in ROC Company Law, such transfer of gains to capital reserve shall no longer be required with effect on January 1, 2001. Under US GAAP, the reclassification of the gain from retained earnings is not
permitted. The effect of this gain would have increased retained earnings and decreased capital reserve for the years ended December 31, 2000 by NT$173 million. According to the new amendments in ROC Company Law, such gains transferred to capital
reserve in previous years can be reclassified to retained earnings subject to shareholder's approval. An amount of NT$171 million was then transferred from capital reserve to retained earnings during the year ended December 31, 2002 under ROC
GAAP.
(13) Gross Profit
Inventory loss provision, gain from disposal of property, plant and equipment, and gain from
foreign currency exchange were presented below the operating income subtotal in the statement of operations as permitted under ROC GAAP. Under US GAAP, the inventory loss provision is included in the determination of gross profit. Further, the
inventory loss provision, gain from disposal of property, plant and equipment, and gain from foreign currency exchange are included in the determination of operating income.
F-59

UNITED MICROELECTRONICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(14) Reclassification of Certificates of Deposit
Under ROC GAAP, cash and cash equivalents include certificates of deposit. Under US GAAP,
cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less. Thus, certificates of deposit with original maturities of greater than three months are classified as
cash equivalents under ROC GAAP but should be included in marketable securities for trading purpose under US GAAP.
(15) Employee Stock Options
The Group has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related interpretations in
accounting for its employee stock options because, as discussed below, the alternative fair value accounting provided for under SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", requires use of option valuation models that were not
developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized
for the Company.
On September 11, 2002, the Company was authorized to issue
Employee Stock Options. The total number of options to be granted under the plan is one billion units, with each unit entitling the optionee to subscribe for one share of the Company's common stock. The grant period for options is six years and
an optionee may exercise his/her options starting from two years after the grant: employees may exercise up to 50% of the options after two years, up to 75% after three years and up to 100% after four years. The total number of option units
outstanding as of December 31, 2002 was 928,059 thousand units and the exercise price for the options is NT$20 per share.
Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS No. 123, and has been determined as if the Group had accounted for its employee
stock options under the fair value method of that Statement. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions, respectively: risk-free
interest rate of 1.98%; dividend yields of 22.63%; volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 0.54; and a weighted-average expected life of the option of 4.4 years.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value
of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Group's employee
stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not
necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

Concentration of credit risk
The Group designs, develops, manufactures and markets a variety of semiconductor products. Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Group to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts and notes receivable. The Group limits its exposure to credit loss by depositing its cash and cash equivalents with high
credit quality financial institutions. The Group's revenues and trade accounts and notes receivable are derived primarily from the sale of production foundry wafers, including memory and logic products and wafers. For the years ended December
31, 2001 and 2002, the Group distributes its products on a global basis but mainly to customers in North America (37.81% and 37.64%, respectively), Asia (42.07% and 51.25%, respectively,) and Europe and others (20.12% and 11.11%, respectively). The
Group's sales are primarily denominated in currencies other than NT Dollars, primarily US Dollars. One customer's revenue represented 11% of the consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001 while two customers' revenue
represented 12% and 13%, respectively, of the consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2002. The Group routinely assesses the financial strength of substantially all customers. For significant domestic sales the Group also requires
certain collateral to mitigate the credit risk.
Adoption of SFAS No.141
and 142
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB)
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, "Business Combinations", and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all
business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 as well as all purchase method business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also specifies criteria intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must
meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill, noting that any purchase price allocable to an assembled workforce may not be accounted for separately. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives
should no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective
estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets".
The Group adopted SFAS No.141 & 142 on January 1, 2002. Upon adoption, the Group did not
identify additional intangible assets related to previous acquisitions and the goodwill created from the acquisition of the remaining interests in United Semiconductor, United Silicon, UTEK Semiconductor and United Integrated Circuits prior to June
30, 2001 as well as those created from the acquisition of an equity investee were no longer to be amortized but instead subject to impairment test annually or when indication of impairment is noted. Similarly, the goodwill created upon conversion of
convertible bonds ceased to be amortized. The annual goodwill impairment test performed by the Group did not result in the recognition of any impairment loss as of December 31, 2002.

Adoption of SFAS No. 144
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which supersedes
SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of". SFAS No. 144 retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived
assets to be held and used and measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. SFAS No. 144 addresses certain implementation issues related to SFAS No. 121. This Statement also supersedes the accounting and reporting provisions of APB
Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions", for segments of a business to be
disposed of. SFAS No. 144 retains the basic provisions of APB Opinion No. 30 for the presentation of discontinued operations in the income statement but broadens that presentation to include a component of an entity, rather than a segment of a
business. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002 did not have any material effect on the Group's financial position or results of operations.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations", which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations
associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The standard applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction,
development and (or) normal use of the asset.
SFAS No. 143 requires that the
fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated
asset and this additional carrying amount is depreciated over the life of the asset. The liability is accreted at the end of each period through charges to operating expense. If the obligation is settled for other than the carrying amount of the
liability, the Group will recognize a gain or loss on settlement. SFAS No. 143 is effective for the Group beginning January 2003 and the Group is currently evaluating the effect that implementation of the new standard will have on its financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows.
In June 2002, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 146 "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." The Statement represents the second and final phase of the FASB's project on accounting for the impairment or disposal of long lived assets and for
obligations associated with exit or disposal activities. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 in January 2003 is not expected to have a material effect on the Group's financial position or results of operations.

44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections", SFAS No. 147 "Acquisition of Certain Financial Institutions" and SFAS No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure."
These Statements were effective for the Group during the year ended December 31, 2002 and did not have any material effect on the earnings or financial position of the Group for the year then ended.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting
and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN45"). FIN45 requires certain guarantees to be recorded at fair value, which is different from the general current practice of
recording a liability only when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable, as those terms are defined in SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies." FIN45 also requires a guarantor to make significant new disclosures for virtually all
guarantees even if the likelihood of the guarantor's having to make payments under the guarantee is remote. The disclosure requirements of FIN45 are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002.
The Group held several cash deposits with a total amount of approximately
NT$6,854 million as of December 31, 2002. The repayment in full, including any accrued interest, of these deposits is subject to the non-occurrence of one or more credit events, which are referenced to the entities' fulfillment of their own
obligations as well as repayment of their corporate bonds. Upon the occurrence of one or more of such credit events, the Group may receive nil or less than the full amount of these deposits and any payment received may be delayed due to the
occurrence of certain events. The underlying reference entities are summarized as follows:
Principal amount in original currency

In addition, the Group has made several commitments under different contracts such as operating lease contracts or
other agreements. Please refer to Note 22 for details.
The initial recognition
and initial measurement provisions of FIN45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The Group believes that the adoption of the standard will not have a material impact on its financial
statements.
