Exhibit 99.2

To announce unconsolidated operating results for the third quarter of 2006

1. Date of the investor/press conference: 2006/10/25

2. Location of the investor/press conference: 3rd Floor, Far Eastern Plaza Hotel, 201 Tunhwa South Rd., Sec. 3, Taipei

3. Financial and business related information:

United Microelectronics Corporation (NYSE: UMC; TSE: 2303) (“UMC” or “the Company”) today announced its unconsolidated operating results for the third quarter of 2006. Year-over-year revenue increased by 18.1 % to NT$27.85 billion from NT$23.58 billion, and an 8.2% QoQ increase from NT$25.75 billion in 2Q06. The net income is NT$3.04 billion, increase 86.3% from NT$1.63 billion in 2Q06. The EPS for the third quarter in 2005 was NT$0.48.

Wafer shipments in the third quarter were 799 thousand 8-inch equivalent wafers, the utilization rate for the quarter was 82%. The percentage of revenue from 90nm and below business increased to 21%, and the percentage of revenue from 0.13um and below was 46% in 3Q06.

“We are pleased with our Q3 results,” said UMC Chairman and CEO, Dr. Jackson Hu.“ Wafer shipments increased by 1.7% and ASP increased by 6%.

As a result, revenue increased 8.2% to NT$27.85 billion, with operating profit improving by 86.3% to NT$3.04 billion. Total sales from 90nm and below reached 21% of revenue.”

Dr. Hu continued, “We clearly saw the benefits of high utilization in advanced technology nodes, which was responsible for improving our gross margin and bottom line. Solid demand for 90nm was a significant contributing factor to better results in the quarter. Furthermore, the number of new 90nm customers and products in production for Q3 was still relatively small, and we have many more 90nm customer products in various stages of development that will ramp to production in the following quarters. This validates the direction we have followed for the last two years: to focus on expanding our customer base in advanced technology. For example, for the 65nm generation, two customers are in small volume production and revenue contribution in Q3 was approximately 1%. Today, we are engaged with nine customers from a variety of sectors that include cell phone, FPGA, graphics and broadband applications. Our yield improvement for 65nm has been even faster than for the 90nm generation.”

“For Q4, we do foresee some downward adjustment from certain advanced technology customers, mainly at the 0.13um technology node for the communication sector. Conversely, in emerging markets such as China, the demand from other customers for handset and display driver applications is quite strong. This is likely due to an improvement in the inventory situation in those areas. For the computer sector, the market appears to be anticipating the launch of Vista, which has delayed demand somewhat. Although the market climate varies to some extent for different customers, in general, we believe that the overall inventory situation has improved. Since the build-up for the holiday season will be essentially complete in the October-November time-frame, customers will be monitoring the strength of the holiday season sell-through to get a clearer picture of future demand. The launch of Vista will also be a significant factor.”

UMC Delivers Leading-edge 65nm FPGAs to Xilinx

World’s largest FPGA features 11 metal layers and industry’s highest gate count

HSINCHU, Taiwan, November 8, 2006 —UMC (NYSE: UMC; TSE: 2303), a leading global semiconductor foundry, announced that it has delivered the world’s largest 65nm FPGAs to Xilinx. These new devices deliver a 65 percent logic capacity increase over previous generation FPGAs to enable the industry’s highest gate count, with approximately 1.1 billion transistors. The chips, which feature triple gate oxide technology and 11 copper metal layers, have demonstrated excellent initial yields and are expected to be ready for full production in several months.

Jackson Hu, chairman and CEO of UMC, said, “UMC’s 65nm technology has seen widespread acceptance from leading-edge manufacturers of cell phones, FPGA, graphics and broadband applications. Particularly noteworthy, is the number of new customers engaged at this technology node. This demonstrates the confidence that customers have in the competitiveness of our 65nm process. UMC’s longstanding partnership with Xilinx continues to strengthen with each technology generation, with this latest product success representing yet another significant milestone for our two companies. We look forward in the coming months to bringing their newest products to full production.”

Wim Roelandts, chairman, president and CEO of Xilinx, said, “Xilinx is currently ramping 65nm wafer starts at UMC. We are quite pleased with our progress—in fact, UMC’s yields have exceeded our expectations for our most advanced products. We’ll continue to leverage UMC’s advanced 65nm technology for our upcoming product lines to strengthen our leading position in the FPGA industry.”

UMC is the foundry leader in 65nm process technology, which delivered the foundry industry’s first 65nm customer products in June of 2005. UMC is currently in volume production for multiple customers using the leading-edge process, and has engaged with nine customers so far, for a variety of market applications. Yield improvement for 65nm has been even faster than for the 90nm process generation. Though performance gains vary across applications, compared with the 90nm generation, 65nm products exhibit an average of 30 percent higher performance, and a 35 percent reduction in dynamic power consumption.

REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Chinese

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

United Microelectronics Corporation

We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheets of United Microelectronics Corporation as of September 30, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of income and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to issue the review reports based on our reviews. As described in Note 4(10) to the financial statements, certain long-term investments were accounted for under the equity method based on financial statements as of September 30, 2006 and 2005 of the investees, which were reviewed by other auditors. Our review insofar as it relates to the investment income amounting to NT$797 million and NT$474 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and the related long-term investment balances of NT$5,621 million and NT$4,479 million as of September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the Statements of Auditing Standards No. 36, “Review of Financial Statements” of the Republic of China. A review is limited primarily to applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statement taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews and the reports of other auditors, we are not aware of any material modifications or adjustments that should have been made to the financial statements referred to above in order for them to be in conformity of “Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and generally accepted accounting principles in the Republic of China.

As described in Note 3 to the financial statements, effective from January 1, 2006, United Microelectronics Corporation has adopted the R.O.C. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 34, “Accounting for Financial Instruments” and No. 36, “Disclosure and Presentation of Financial Instruments” to account for the financial instruments.

As described in Note 3 to the financial statements, effective from January 1, 2005, United Microelectronics Corporation has adopted the R.O.C. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 35, “Accounting for Asset Impairment” to account for the impairment of its assets. Effective from January 1, 2006, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2006 and 2005

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars unless Otherwise Specified)

1. HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION

The Company was incorporated in May 1980 and commenced operations in April 1982. The Company is a full service semiconductor wafer foundry, and provides a variety of services to satisfy individual customer needs. These services include intellectual property, embedded IC design, design verification, mask tooling, wafer fabrication, and testing. The Company’s common shares were publicly listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE) in July 1985 and its American Depositary Shares (ADSs) were listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in September 2000.

Based on the resolution of the board of directors’ meeting on February 26, 2004, the effective date of the Company’s merger with SiS MICROELECTRONICS CORP. (SiSMC) was July 1, 2004. The Company was the surviving company, and SiSMC was the dissolved company. The merger was approved by the relevant government authorities. All the assets, liabilities, rights, and obligations of SiSMC have been fully incorporated into the Company since July 1, 2004.

Based on the resolution of the board of directors’ meeting on August 26, 2004, UMCI LTD. had transferred its businesses, operations, and assets to the Company’s Singapore branch (“the Branch”) since April 1, 2005.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements were prepared in conformity with the “Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China (R.O.C.).

Summary of significant accounting policies is as follows:

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that will affect the amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. The actual results may differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Transactions

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into New Taiwan Dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at 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 reporting periods results. However, exchange gains or losses from investments in foreign entities are recognized as cumulative translation adjustments in stockholders’ equity.

Non-currency assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and marked to market with changes in market value charged to the statement of income, are valued at the spot exchange rate at the balance sheet date, with arising exchange gains or losses recognized in the current reporting period. For similar assets and liabilities where the changes in market value are charged to stockholders’ equity, the spot exchange rate at the balance sheet date is used and any resulting exchange gains or losses are recorded as adjustment items to stockholders’ equity. The exchange rate at the date of transaction is used to record non-currency assets and liabilities which are denominated in foreign currencies and measured at cost.

Translation of Foreign Currency Financial Statements

The financial statements of the Branch are translated into New Taiwan Dollars using the spot rates as of each financial statement date for asset and liability accounts, and average exchange rates for profit and loss accounts. The cumulative translation effects from the Branch using functional currencies other than New Taiwan Dollars are included in the cumulative translation adjustment in stockholders’ equity.

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 on changes in value resulting from changes in interest rates, including commercial paper with original maturities of three months or less.

Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

Based on the R.O.C. Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 34, “Accounting for Financial Instruments” and the “Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity financial assets, financial assets measured at cost, and available-for-sale financial assets. Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

The Company’s purchases and sales of financial assets and liabilities are recognized on the trade date, the date that Company commits to purchasing or selling the asset and liability. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value plus the acquisition or issuance costs. Accounting policies prior to, and including, December 31, 2005 are described in Note 3.

a. Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets and financial liabilities held for short-term sale or repurchase purposes, and derivative financial instruments not qualified for hedging purposes are classified as either financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets or financial liabilities are subsequently measured at fair value and changes in fair value are recognized as profit or loss. Stocks of listed companies, convertible bonds, and close-end funds are measured at closing prices at the balance sheet date. Open-end funds are measured at the unit price of the net assets at the balance sheet date. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined by using valuation techniques commonly used by market participants to price the instrument.

b. Held-to-maturity financial assets

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-to-maturity where the Company has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Investments that are intended to be held to maturity are subsequently measured at amortized cost.

If there is any objective evidence of impairment, impairment loss is recognized by the Company. If subsequently the impairment loss has recovered, and such recovery is evidently related to improvements in events or factors that have originally caused the impairment loss, the Company shall reverse the amount, which will be recorded as profit in the current period. The new cost basis as a result of the reversal shall not exceed the amortized cost prior to the impairment.

c. Financial assets measured at cost

Unlisted stocks, funds, and others without reliable market prices are measured at cost. Where objective evidence of impairment exists, the Company shall recognize impairment loss, which shall not be reversed in subsequent periods.

d. Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets neither classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, nor held-to-maturity financial assets, loans and receivables. Subsequent measurement is measured at fair value. Stocks of listed companies are measured at closing prices at the balance sheet date. The gain or loss arising from the change in fair value, excluding impairment loss and exchange gain or loss, is recognized as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity until such investment is reclassified or disposed of, upon which the cumulative gain or loss previously charged to stockholders’ equity will be recorded in the income statement.

The Company recognizes impairment loss when there is any objective evidence of impairment. Any reduction in the loss of equity investments in subsequent periods will be recognized as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity. For debt instruments, if the reduction is clearly related to improvements in the factors or events that have originally caused the impairment, the amount shall be reversed and recognized in the current period’s statement of income.

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 accounted for on a perpetual basis. Raw materials are recorded at actual purchase costs, while the work in process and finished goods are recorded at standard costs and adjusted to actual costs using the weighted-average method at the end of each month. Inventories are stated at the lower of aggregate cost 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 Accounted for Under the Equity Method

Long-term investments are recorded at acquisition cost. 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 5 years.

Investment income or loss from investments in both listed and unlisted investees is accounted for under the equity method provided that the Company owns at least 20% of the outstanding voting rights of the investees or has significant influence on operating decisions of the investees. The difference of the acquisition cost and the underlying equity in the investee’s net assets is amortized over 5 years. However, effective from January 1, 2006, such a difference is no longer amortized. Arising differences from new acquisitions are analyzed and accounted for in the manner similar to the allocation of acquisition cost as provided in the R.O.C. SFAS No. 25, “Business Combination – Accounting Treatment under Purchase Method”, where goodwill is not subject to amortization.

The change in the Company’s proportionate share in the net assets of its investee resulting from its subscription to additional stock, issued by such investee, at a rate not proportionate to its existing equity ownership in such investee, is charged to the capital reserve and long-term investments account.

Unrealized intercompany gains and losses arising from downstream transactions with investees accounted for under the equity method are eliminated in proportion to the Company’s ownership percentage, while those from transactions with majority-owned (above 50%) subsidiaries are eliminated entirely.

Unrealized intercompany gains and losses arising from upstream transactions with investees accounted for under the equity method are eliminated in proportion to the Company’s ownership percentage. Unrealized intercompany gains and losses arising from transactions between investees accounted for under the equity method are eliminated in proportion to the Company’s ownership percentage, while those arising from transactions between majority-owned subsidiaries are eliminated in proportion to the Company’s ownership percentage in the subsidiary incurred with a gain or loss.

If the recoverable amount of investees accounted for under the equity method is less than its carrying amount, the difference is to be recognized as impairment loss in the current period.

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. Maintenance and repairs are recognized as expense as incurred. Significant renewals and improvements are treated as capital expenditure and are depreciated accordingly. When property, plant and equipment are disposed, their original cost and accumulated depreciation shall be written off and the related gain or loss is classified as non-operating income or expenses. Idle assets are transferred to other assets according to the lower of net book or net realizable value, with the difference charged to non-operating expenses.

Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis using the estimated economic life of the assets less salvage value, if any. When the estimated economic life expires, property, plant and equipment which are still in use, are depreciated over the newly estimated remaining useful life using the salvage value. The estimated economic life of the property, plant and equipment is as follows: buildings – 20 to 55 years; machinery and equipment – 5 years; transportation equipment – 5 years; furniture and fixtures – 5 years.

Intangible Assets

Effective from January 1, 2006, goodwill generated from consolidation is no longer subject to amortization.

Technological know-how is stated at cost and amortized over its estimated economic life using the straight-line method.

The Company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment other than temporary. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated and impairment loss is recognized accordingly. The book value after recognizing the impairment loss is recorded as the new cost.

Deferred Charges

Deferred charges are stated at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis as follows: intellectual property license fees - the term of contract or estimated economic life of the related technology; and software - 3 years.

Prior to, and including December 31, 2005, the issuance costs of convertible and exchangeable bonds were classified as deferred charges and amortized over the life of the bonds. Since January 1, 2006, the amortized amounts as of December 31, 2005 were reclassified as discount of bonds as a deduction to bonds payable. The amounts are amortized based on the interest method during remaining life of the bonds. Where the difference between straight-line method and interest method is slight, the bond discounts shall be amortized based on the straight-line method.

The Company assesses whether there is any indication of other than temporary impairment. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated and impairment loss is recognized accordingly. The book value after recognizing the impairment loss is recorded as the new cost basis.

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 the 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 the bonds is to be offset against the book value of the investments in reference shares and the related stockholders’ equity accounts, with the difference recognized as gain or loss on disposal of investments.

Based on the R.O.C. SFAS No. 34, “Accounting for Financial Instruments”, as of January 1, 2006, derivative financial instruments embedded in convertible bonds shall be bifurcated and accounted as financial liabilities with changes in market value recognized in earnings if the economic and risk characteristics of the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract are not clearly and closely related.

Pension Plan

All regular employees are entitled to a defined benefit pension plan that is managed by an independently administered pension fund committee within the Company. The fund is deposited under the committee’s name in the Central Trust of China and hence, not associated with the Company. Therefore the fund shall not be included in the Company’s financial statements. Pension benefits for employees of the Branch are provided in accordance with the local regulations.

The Labor Pension Act of the R.O.C. (the Act), which adopts a defined contribution plan, became effective on July 1, 2005. In accordance with the Act, employees may choose to elect either the Act, by retaining their seniority before the enforcement of the Act, or the pension mechanism of the Labor Standards Law. For employees who elect the Act, the Company will make monthly contributions of no less than 6% of the employees’ monthly wages to the employees’ individual pension accounts.

The accounting for pension is computed in accordance with the R.O.C. SFAS No. 18. For the defined benefit pension plan, the net pension cost is calculated based on an actuarial valuation, and pension cost components such as service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, the amortization of net obligation at transition, pension gain or loss, and prior service cost, are all taken into consideration. For the defined contribution pension plan, the Company recognizes the pension amount as expense in the period in which the contribution becomes due.

Employee Stock Option Plan

The Company applies the intrinsic value method to recognize the difference between the market price of the stock and the exercise price of its employee stock option as compensation cost. Starting January 1, 2004, the Company also discloses pro forma net income and earnings per share under the fair value method only for options granted since January 1, 2004.

Treasury Stock

The Company adopted the R.O.C. SFAS No. 30, “Accounting for Treasury Stocks”, which requires that treasury stock held by the Company to be accounted for under the cost method. Cost of treasury stock is shown as a deduction to stockholders’ equity, while gain or loss from selling treasury stock is treated as an adjustment to capital reserve. The Company’s stock held by its subsidiaries is also treated as treasury stock in the Company’s account.

Revenue Recognition

The main sales term of the Company is Free on Board (FOB) or Free Carrier (FCA). Revenue is recognized when the ownership and risk of the products have been transferred to customers and the possibility of sales collection is reasonably assured. Allowance for sales returns and discounts is estimated based on customer complaints and historical experiences. Such provisions are recognized in the reporting period the products are sold.

Capital Expenditure versus Operating Expenditure

Expenditure shall be capitalized when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company and the expenditure amount exceeds a predetermined level. Otherwise it is charged as expense when incurred.

Income Tax

The Company adopted the R.O.C. SFAS No. 22, “Accounting for Income Taxes” for inter-period and intra-period income tax allocation. Provision for income tax includes deferred income tax resulting from temporary differences, loss carry-forward and investment tax credits. Deferred income 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 income tax assets is provided to the extent that it is more likely than not that the tax benefits will not be realized. A deferred tax asset or liability is classified as current or noncurrent in accordance with the classification of its related asset or liability. However, if a deferred tax asset or liability does not relate to an asset or liability in the financial statements, then it is classified as either current or noncurrent based on the expected reversal date of the temporary difference.

According to the R.O.C. SFAS No. 12, “Accounting for Income Tax Credits”, the Company recognizes the tax benefit from the purchase of equipment and technology, research and development expenditure, employee training, and certain equity investment by the flow-through method.

Income tax (10%) on unappropriated earnings is recorded as expense in the year when the shareholders have resolved that the earnings shall be retained.

The Income Basic Tax Act of the R.O.C. (the IBTA) became effective on January 1, 2006. The IBTA is a supplemental tax at 10% (set up by the Executive Yuan) that is payable if the income tax payable pursuant to the R.O.C. Income Tax Act is below the minimum amount as prescribed by the IBTA, and is calculated based on taxable income defined under the IBTA which includes most income that is exempted from income tax under various legislations. The impact of the IBTA has been considered in the Company’s income tax for the current reporting period.

Earnings per Share

Earnings per share is computed according to the R.O.C. SFAS No. 24, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the current reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is computed 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 (loss) would also be adjusted for the interest and other income or expenses derived from any underlying dilutive share equivalents. The weighted-average outstanding shares are adjusted retroactively for stock dividends and bonus share issues.

Asset Impairment

Pursuant to the R.O.C. SFAS No. 35, the Company assesses indicators of impairment for all its assets (except for goodwill) within the scope of the standard at each balance sheet date. If impairment is indicated, the Company compares the carrying amount with the recoverable amount of the assets or the cash-generating unit (CGU) and writes down the carrying amount to the recoverable amount where applicable. The recoverable amount is defined as the higher of fair value less the costs to sell, and the values in use. For previously recognized losses, the Company assesses, at the balance sheet date, whether there is any indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist or may have diminished. If there is any such indication, the Company recalculates the recoverable amount of the asset. If the recoverable amount increases as a result of the increase in the estimated service potential of the assets, the Company reverses the impairment loss such that the resulting carrying amount of the asset shall not exceed the amount (net of amortization or depreciation), that would otherwise result had no impairment loss been recognized for the assets in prior years.

In addition, a goodwill-allocated CGU or group of CGUs is tested for impairment each year, regardless of whether impairment is indicated. If an impairment test reveals that the carrying amount (including goodwill) of CGU or group of CGUs is greater than its recoverable amount, there is an impairment loss. In allocating impairment losses, the portion of goodwill allocated is to be written down first. After goodwill has been written off, the remaining impairment loss, if any, is to be shared among other assets pro rata to their carrying amount. The write-down in goodwill cannot be reversed under any circumstance in subsequent periods.

Impairment loss (reversal) is classified as non-operating losses (income).

1. ACCOUNTING CHANGE

Asset Impairment

The Company adopted the R.O.C. SFAS No. 35, “Accounting for Asset Impairment” to account for the impairment of its assets for its financial statements effective on January 1, 2005. No retroactive adjustment is required under the standard. Such a change in accounting principles did not have any impact on the Company’s net income, basic earnings per share after tax for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 as well as the total assets as of September 30, 2005.

Goodwill

The Company adopted the amendments to the R.O.C. SFAS No. 1, “Conceptual Framework of Financial Accounting and Preparation of Financial Statements”, SFAS No. 5, “Long-Term Investments in Equity Securities”, and SFAS No. 25, “Business Combinations - Accounting Treatment under Purchase Method”, which have all discontinued the amortization of goodwill effective on January 1, 2006. The above changes in accounting principles has increased the Company’s total assets as of September 30, 2006 by NT$644 million, and increased the Company’s net income and earnings per share by NT$644 million and NT$0.04 , respectively, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006.

Financial Instruments

(1) The Company adopted the R.O.C. SFAS No. 34, “Accounting for Financial Instruments” and SFAS No. 36, “Disclosure and Presentation of Financial Instruments” to account for the financial instruments for its financial statements beginning on and after January 1, 2006. Some items have already been reclassified according to the R.O.C. “Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, SFAS No. 34 and No. 36 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005.

(2) The accounting policies prior to, and including, December 31, 2005 are as follows:

a. Marketable Securities

Marketable securities are recorded at cost at acquisition and are stated at the lower of aggregate cost or market value at the balance sheet date. Cash dividends are recognized as dividend income at the point of receipt. Costs of money market funds and short-term notes are identified specifically while other marketable securities are determined by the weighted-average method. The market values of listed debts, equity securities and closed-end funds are determined by the average closing price during the last month of the fiscal year. The market value for open-end funds is determined by the net asset value at the balance sheet date. The amount by which the aggregate cost exceeds the market value is reported as a loss in the current year. In subsequent periods, recoveries of the market value are recognized as a gain to the extent that the market value does not exceed the original aggregate cost of the investment.

b. Long-Term Investment – Cost Method or Lower of Cost or Market Value Method

Investments of less than 20% of the outstanding voting rights in listed investees, where significant influence on operating decisions of the investees does not reside with the Company, 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 the purpose of long-term investment is deducted from the stockholders’ equity. The market value at the balance sheet date is determined by the average closing price during the last month of the reporting period. Investments of less than 20% of the outstanding voting rights in unlisted investees are accounted for under the cost method. Impairment losses for the investees will be recognized if an other than temporary impairment is evident and the book value after recognizing the losses shall be treated as the new cost basis of such investment.

c. Derivative Financial Instruments

The net receivables or payables resulting from interest rate swap and forward contracts were recorded under current assets or current liabilities before December 31, 2005.

(3) The above changes in accounting principles increased the Company’s total assets, total liabilities, and stockholders’ equity as of January 1, 2006 by NT$23,648 million, NT$1,326 million, and NT$22,322 million, respectively; and resulted in an unfavorable cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles of NT$1,189 million to be deducted from net income, thereby reducing earnings per share by NT$0.07 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006.

Note A: In the beginning of 2006 as the Company determined it did not have significant influence over the investee, and in compliance with the R.O.C. SFAS No. 34, the investment in the investee was classified as available-for-sale financial asset.

Note B: Based on the resolution of the board of directors’ meeting on August 26, 2004, UMCI has transferred its business, operations, and assets to the Branch since April 1, 2005.

Note C: As of September 30, 2006 and 2005, the cost of investment was NT$8,186 million and NT$4,454 million, respectively. After deducting the Company’s stock held by the subsidiary (treated as treasury stock by the Company) of NT$172 million in both years, the residual book values totalled NT$8,014 million and NT$4,282 million as of September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Note D: As of January 27, 2006, the Company sold 58,500 thousand shares of HSUN CHIEH. The share ownership decreased from 99.97% to 36.49%. As the company ceased to be a subsidiary, the Company’s stock held by HSUN CHIEH was no longer treated as treasury stock. Consequently, the effect on the Company’s long-term investment accounted for under the equity method and stockholders’ equity simultaneously amounted to NT$10,881 million.

The ending balance as of September 30, 2005 of NT$30,070 million was computed by deducting the Company’s stock held by the investee (treated as treasury stock by the Company), amounting NT$20,137 million from the cost of investment balance at period-end of NT$9,933 million.

Note E: The equity method was applied for investees, in which the total ownership held by the Company and its subsidiaries is over 20%.

Note F: The book value of the Company’s investment in THINTEK and HIGHLINK exceeded the net equity by NT$14 million and NT$8 million, respectively. Equivalent amounts of impairment have been accordingly recognized.

b. Total gain (loss) arising from investments accounted for under the equity method, based on the reviewed financial statements of the investees, were NT$1,403 million and NT$2,762 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Among which, investment income amounting to NT$797 million and NT$474 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and the related long-term investment balances of NT$5,621 million and NT$4,479 million as of September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, were determined based on the investees’ financial statements reviewed by other auditors.

c. The long-term equity investments were not pledged.

(3) OAK Technology, Inc. (OAK) and the Company entered into a settlement agreement on July 31, 1997 concerning a complaint filed with the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) by OAK against the Company and others, alleging unfair trade practices based on alleged patent infringement regarding certain CD-ROM controllers (the first OAK ITC case). On October 27, 1997, OAK filed a civil action in a California federal district court, alleging claims for breach of the settlement agreement and fraudulent misrepresentation. In connection with its breach of contract and other claims, OAK seeks damages in excess of US$750 million. The Company denied the material allegations of the complaint, and asserted counterclaims against OAK for breach of contract, intentional interference with economic advantage and rescission and restitution based on fraudulent concealment and/or mistake. The Company also asserted declaratory judgment claims for invalidity and unenforceability of the relevant OAK patent. On May 2, 2001, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld findings by the ITC that there had been no patent infringement and no unfair trade practice arising out of a second ITC case filed by OAK against the Company and others. Based on the Federal Circuit’s opinion and on a covenant not to sue filed by OAK, the Company’s declaratory judgment patent counterclaims were dismissed from the district court case. In November 2002, the Company filed motions for summary judgment on each of OAK Technology’s claims against the Company. In that same period, OAK Technology filed motions seeking summary judgment on the Company’s claims for fraudulent concealment and intentional interference with economic advantage, and on various defenses asserted by the Company. In May 2005, the Court issued the following orders: (i) granting the Company’s motion for summary judgment on OAK Technology’s claim for breach of the settlement agreement; (ii) granting in part and denying in part the Company’s motion for summary judgment on OAK Technology’s claim for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; (iii) denying a motion by the Company for summary judgment on OAK Technology’s fraud claim based on alleged patent invalidity; (iv) granting OAK Technology’s motion for summary judgment on the Company’s fraudulent concealment claims; and (v) granting a motion by OAK Technology for summary judgment on certain of the Company’s defenses. On February 9, 2006, the parties entered a settlement agreement in which the Company, OAK and Zoran (the successor to OAK) fully and finally released one another from any and all claims and liabilities arising out of the facts alleged in the district court case. The terms of settlement are confidential and, except for the obligation to keep the terms confidential, impose no obligation on the Company.

Should the Company fail to fulfill the conditions set out in the contracts, the differences between the actual purchase and the required minimum will be reconciled between the Company and its vendors.

(7) On February 15, 2005, the Hsinchu District Prosecutor’s Office conducted a search of the Company’s facilities. On February 18, 2005, the Company’s former Chairman Mr. Robert H.C. Tsao, released a public statement, explaining that its assistance to Hejian Technology Corp. (Hejian) did not involve any investment or technology transfer. Furthermore, from the very beginning there was a verbal indication that, at the proper time, the Company would be compensated appropriately for its assistance, and circumstances permitting, at some time in the future, it will push through the merger between two companies. However, no promise was made by the Company and no written agreement was made and executed. Upon the Company’s request to materialize the said verbal indication by compensating in the form of either cash or equity, the Chairman of the holding company of Hejian offered 15% of the approximately 700 million outstanding shares of the holding company of Hejian in return for the Company’s past assistance and for continued assistance in the future.

Immediately after the Company had received such offer, it filed an application with the Investment Commission of the Ministry of Economic Affairs on March 18, 2005 (Ref. No. 94-Lian-Tung-Tzu-0222), for their executive guidance for the successful transfer of said shares to the Company. The shareholders meeting dated June 13, 2005 resolved that to the extent permitted by law the Company shall try to get the 15% of the outstanding shares offered by the holding company of Hejian as an asset of the Company. The holding

company of Hejian offered 105,500 thousand shares of its outstanding common shares in return for the Company’s assistance. The holding company of Hejian has put all such shares in escrow. The Company was informed of such escrow on August 4, 2006. The subscription price per share of the holding company of Hejian in the last offering was US$1.1. Therefore, the total market value of the said shares is worth more than US$110 million. However, the Company may not acquire the ownership of nor exercise the rights of the said shares with any potential stock dividend or cash dividend distributed in the future until the R.O.C. laws and regulations allow the Company to acquire and exercise. In the event that any stock dividend or cash dividend is distributed, the Company’s stake in the holding company of Hejian will accumulate accordingly.

In April 2005, the Company’s former Chairman Mr. Robert H.C. Tsao was personally fined with in the aggregate amount of NT$3 million by the Financial Supervisory Commission, Executive Yuan, R.O.C. (R.O.C. FSC) for failure to disclose material information relating to Hejian in accordance with applicable rules. As a result of the imposition of the fines by the R.O.C. FSC, the Company was also fined in the amount of NT$30,000 by Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE) for the alleged non-compliance with the disclosure rules in relation to the material information. The Company and its former Chairman Mr. Robert H.C. Tsao have filed for administrative appeal and reconsideration with the Executive Yuan, R.O.C. and TSE, respectively. Mr. Robert H.C. Tsao’s administrative appeal was rejected by the Execution Yuan, R.O.C. on February 21, 2006 and the R.O.C. FSC transferred the case against Mr. Robert H.C. Tsao to the Administrative Enforcement Agency for enforcement of the fine. Mr. Robert H.C. Tsao has filed an administrative action against the R.O.C. FSC with Taipei High Administrative Court on April 14, 2006. As of September 30, 2006, the result of such reconsideration and administrative action has not been finalized.

For the Company’s assistance to Hejian Technology Corp., the Company’s former Chairman Mr. Robert H.C. Tsao, former Vice Chairman Mr. John Hsuan, and Mr. Duen-Chian Cheng, the General Manager of Fortune Venture Capital Corp., which is 99.99% owned by the Company, where indicted on charges of breaking the Business Accounting Law and giving rise to breach of trust under the Criminal Law by Hsinchu District Court’s Prosecutor’s Office on January 9, 2006. Mr. Robert H.C. Tsao and Mr. John Hsuan had officially resigned from their positions of the Company’s Chairman, Vice Chairman and directors prior to the announcement of public prosecution; for this reason, at the time of public prosecution, Mr. Robert H.C. Tsao and Mr. John Hsuan no longer served as the Company’s directors and had not executed their duties as the Company’s Chairman and Vice Chairman. In the future, if a guilty judgment is pronounced by the court, the consequences would be Mr. Robert H.C. Tsao, Mr. John Hsuan and Mr. Duen-Chian Cheng’s personal concerns; the Company would not be subject to indictment regarding to such case.

On February 15, 2006, the Company was fined in the amount of NT$5 million on the grounds of unauthorized investment activities in Mainland China, implicating the violation of Article 35 of the Act “Governing Relations Between Peoples of the Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area” by the R.O.C. Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA). However, as the Company believes it was illegally and improperly fined, the Company had filed an administrative appeal against MOEA to the Executive Yuan on March 16, 2006. This case is pending for the Executive Yuan’s decision.

(2) Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company’s principal financial instruments, other than derivatives, comprise of cash and cash equivalents, common stock, preferred stock, convertible bonds, open-end funds, bank loans, and bonds payable. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to manage financing for the Company’s operations. The Company also holds various other financial assets and liabilities such as accounts receivable and accounts payables, which arise directly from its operations.

The Company also enters into derivative transactions, including credit-link deposits, interest rate swaps and forward currency contracts. The purpose is to avoid the interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk arising from the Company’s operations and financing activities.

The main risks arising from the Company’s financial instruments include cash flow interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, commodity price risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk.

Cash flow interest rate risk

The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements to avoid its cash flow interest rate risk on its counter-floating rate of unsecured domestic bonds issued during the period from May 21 to June 24, 2003. The periods of the interest rate swap agreements are the same as those of the domestic bonds, which are five and seven years. The floating rate is reset annually.

Foreign currency risk

The Company has foreign currency risk arising from purchases or sales. The Company utilizes spot or forward contracts to avoid foreign currency risk. The Company buys or sells the same amount of foreign currency with hedged items through forward contracts. In principal, the Company does not carry out any forward contracts for uncertain commitments.

Commodity price risk

The Company’s exposure to commodity price risk is minimal.

Credit risk

The Company trades only with established and creditworthy third parties. It is the Company’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis, which consequently minimizes the Company’s exposure to bad debts.

With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Company, which comprise of cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale financial assets and certain derivative instruments, the Company’s exposure to credit risk arising from the default of counter-parties is limited to the carrying amount of these instruments.

Although the Company trades only with established third parties, it will request collateral to be provided by third parties with less favorable financial positions.

Liquidity risk

The Company’s objective is to maintain a balance of funding continuity and flexibility through the use of financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, bank loans and bonds.

b. The methods and assumptions used to measure the fair value of financial instruments are as follows :

i. The book value of short-term financial instruments approximates to the fair value due to their short maturities. Short-term financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable, short-term loans, current portion of capacity deposits, and payables.

ii. The fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale financial assets is based on the quoted market price.

iii. The fair value of held-to-maturity financial assets is based on quoted the market price. If the market price is unavailable, the Company estimates the fair value based on the book value as the held-to-maturity financial assets consist principally of credit-linked deposits agreements with maturity dates of less than two years, as well as bonds that can be easily liquidated in the secondary market.

iv. The fair value of deposits-out is based on the book value since the deposit periods are principally within one year and renewed upon maturity.

v. The fair value of bonds payable is determined by the market price.

vi. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is based on the amount the Company expects to receive (positive) or to pay (negative) assuming that the contracts are settled in advance at the balance sheet date.

c. The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments is determined by the quoted prices in active markets, or if the market for a financial instrument is not active, the Company establishes fair value by using a valuation technique:

Non-derivative Financial Instruments	Active Market Quotation — 2006.9.30	2005.9.30	Valuation Technique — 2006.9.30	2005.9.30

b. Credit risk

The counterparties of the above investments are major international financial institutions. The repayment in full of these investments 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 Company and its subsidiary, UMC JAPAN, may receive nil or less than full amount of these investments. The Company and its subsidiary, UMC JAPAN, have selected reference entities with high credit ratings to minimize the credit risk.

c. Liquidity risk

Early withdrawal is not allowed for the above investments unless called by the issuer. However, the anticipated liquidity risk is low since most of the investments will either have matured within one year, or are relatively liquid in the secondary market.

d. Market risk

There is no market risk for the above investments except for the fluctuations in the exchange rates of US Dollars and Japanese Yen to NT Dollars at the balance sheet date and the settlement date.

(5) The Company and its subsidiary, UMC JAPAN, entered into interest rate swap and forward contracts for hedging the interest rate risk arising from the counter-floating rate of domestic bonds and for hedging the exchange rate risk arising from the net assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currency. The hedging strategy was developed with the objective to reduce the market risk. The relevant information on the derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company is as follows:

a. The Company utilized interest rate swap agreements to hedge its interest rate risk on its counter-floating rate of unsecured domestic bonds issued during the period from May 21 to June 24, 2003. The periods of the interest rate swap agreements are the same as those of the domestic bonds, which are five and seven years. The floating rate is reset annually. The details of interest rate swap agreements are summarized as follows:

As of September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company had the following interest rate swap agreements in effect:

Notional Amount	Contract Period	Interest Rate Received	Interest Rate Paid
NT$7,500 million	May 21, 2003 to June 24, 2008	4.0% minus USD 12-Month LIBOR	1.52%
NT$7,500 million	May 21, 2003 to June 24, 2010	4.3% minus USD 12-Month LIBOR	1.48%

b. The details of forward contracts entered into by the Company and its subsidiary, UMC JAPAN, are summarized as follows:

As of September 30, 2006

The Company did not hold any forward contracts as of September 30, 2006.

Forward contracts	Sell USD 1.5 million	September 26, 2005 to November 30, 2005

c. Transaction risk

(a) Credit risk

There is no significant credit risk exposure with respect to the above transactions as the counter-parties are reputable financial institutions with good global standing.

(b) Liquidity and cash flow risk

The cash flow requirements on the interest rate swap agreements are limited to the net interest payables or receivables arising from the differences in the swap rates. The cash flow requirements on forward contracts are limited to the net difference between the forward and spot rates at the settlement date. Therefore, no significant cash flow risk is anticipated since the working capital is sufficient to meet the cash flow requirements.

(c) Market risk

Interest rate swap agreements and forward contracts are intended for hedging purposes. Gains or losses arising from the fluctuations in interest rates and exchange rates are likely to be offset against the gains or losses from the hedged items. As a result, no significant exposure to market risk is anticipated.

d. The presentation of derivative financial instruments on financial statements

The Company

As of September 30, 2006 and 2005, the interest rate swap agreements were classified as current liabilities amounting NT$611 million and NT$53 million, respectively.
