First Quarter 2008 Result Revision:

During the first quarter of 2008, the Company reached an agreement with our customers to exit the commodity DRAM business. The company considered this an indicator of impairment in regard to the long-lived assets of the Company’s Beijing facility in accordance with SFAS 144. The company has completed its analysis, and has recorded an impairment loss of $105.8 million. The Q108 financials have been restated as shown on page 19 of this release.

Over a conference call, Dr. Richard Chang, Chief Executive Officer of SMIC, spoke with analysts about the quarterly results. “Overall, as expected, our revenue for the second quarter of 2008 declined slightly to $342.9 million, but due to our gain in logic foundry services, we were able to significantly narrow our quarterly losses to $45.6 million. The losses in the second quarter were primarily due to the fact that we are still transitioning from majority DRAM production to pure logic production in our Beijing facility.

The process of converting DRAM capacity into logic has been successful. Quite a number of new logic tape-outs with high yield are now in customer qualification, and a few have entered into production. Our total logic wafer shipments increased by 7.8% in the second quarter, and are expected to increase at least 30% in 2008, as compared to 2007. The ramp-up of our logic capacity remains critical to our strategy, as it will better position us to match the market demand for our services.

In the second quarter, we witnessed rather strong customer demand, despite the severe macroeconomic situation in the U.S. The demand for our 8-inch fab service has been very strong consecutively every month for the second quarter. We foresee persistently increased customer demand throughout the remainder of 2008, particularly in communications and consumer applications, such as DTV, mobile TV, and wireless networking ICs, which comprise the major portion of our business. On a regional basis, revenue from North America remains solid, while revenue from the Asia Pacific region, including Mainland China and Taiwan, has seen the highest growth.

We are continuing our efforts in developing advanced technology nodes as more and more of our customers have migrated to finer line width technologies. Logic output for the 0.13um and 90nm technology nodes is expected to increase around 10% in the third quarter. We have also commenced our internal 65nm library and bit cell development, and our 45nm collaboration with IBM is proceeding smoothly in accordance to schedule.

We are pleased to see strong progress being made by our Chinese customers. As we continue to serve them with our 90nm technology process, we have also engaged them at the 65nm technology node. One customer announced that their new RFID product, which was manufactured in our factory, received EPC Global official authentication this month. This is the first Chinese-made RFID product to receive this international certification. Another customer started mass production of their 3G CMMB mobile TV chipset in the second quarter in our fab. The demand has been very strong extending to the rest of the year and beyond. Moving forward, we will continue to strengthen our local advantage in China by collaborating with these local fabless design houses.

We are also pleased with our profitable solar business and approved expansion plan. We will expand our solar capacity five to six times our current production output in the first half of 2009.

As we continue to execute our growth plans, we believe we will continue to create value for our customers worldwide and further enhance shareholder value for the coming years.”

Material Litigation

Recent TSMC Legal Developments:

On August 25, 2006, TSMC filed a lawsuit against the Company and certain subsidiaries (SMIC (Shanghai), SMIC (Beijing) and SMIC (Americas)) in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Alameda for alleged breach of the Settlement Agreement, alleged breach of promissory notes and alleged trade secret misappropriation by the Company. TSMC seeks, among other things, damages, injunctive relief, attorneys’ fees, and the acceleration of the remaining payments outstanding under the Settlement Agreement.

In the present litigation, TSMC alleges that the Company has incorporated TSMC trade secrets in the manufacture of the Company’s 0.13 micron or smaller process products. TSMC further alleges that as a result of this claimed breach, TSMC’s patent license is terminated and the covenant not to sue is no longer in effect with respect to the Company’s larger process products.

The Company has vigorously denied all allegations of misappropriation. The Court has made no finding that TSMC’s claims are valid, nor has it set a trial date.

On September 13, 2006, the Company announced that in addition to filing a response strongly denying the allegations of TSMC in the United States lawsuit, it filed on September 12, 2006, a cross-complaint against TSMC seeking, among other things, damages for TSMC’s breach of contract and breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

On November 16, 2006, the High Court in Beijing, the People’s Republic of China, accepted the filing of a complaint by the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SMIC (Shanghai) and SMIC (Beijing), regarding the unfair competition arising from the breach of bona fide (i.e. integrity, good faith) principle and commercial defamation by TSMC (“PRC Complaint”). In the PRC Complaint, the Company is seeking, among other things, an injunction to stop TSMC’s infringing acts, public apology from TSMC to the Company and compensation from TSMC to the Company, including profits gained by TSMC from their infringing acts.

TSMC filed with the California court in January 2007 a motion seeking to enjoin the PRC action. In February 2007, TSMC filed with the Beijing High Court a jurisdictional objection, challenging the competency of the Beijing High Court’s jurisdiction over the PRC action.

In March 2007, the California Court denied TSMC’s motion to enjoin the PRC action. TSMC appealed this ruling to California Court of Appeal. On March 26, 2008, the Court of Appeal, in a written opinion, denied TSMC’s appeal.

In July 2007, the Beijing High Court denied TSMC’s jurisdictional objection and issued a court order holding that the Beijing High Court shall have proper jurisdiction to try the PRC action. TSMC appealed this order to the Supreme Court of the People’s Republic of China. On January 7, 2008, the Supreme Court heard TSMC’s appeal. On June 13, 2008, the Supreme Court denied TSMC’s appeal and affirmed the jurisdiction of the Beijing High Court.

On August 14, 2007, the Company filed an amended cross-complaint against TSMC seeking, among other things, damages for TSMC’s breach of contract and breach of patent license agreement. TSMC thereafter denied the allegations of the Company’s amended cross-complaint and subsequently filed additional claims that the Company breached the Settlement Agreement by filing an action in the Beijing High Court. The Company has denied these additional claims by TSMC.

On August 15-17, 2007, the California Court held a preliminary injunction hearing on TSMC’s motion to enjoin use of certain process recipes in certain of the Company’s 0.13 micron logic process flows. On September 7, 2007, the Court denied TSMC’s preliminary injunction motion, thereby leaving unaffected the Company’s development and sales. However, the court required the Company to provide 10 days’ advance notice to TSMC if the Company plans to disclose logic technology to non-SMIC entities under certain circumstances, to allow TSMC to object to the planned disclosure.

On March 11, 2008, TSMC filed an application for a right to attach order in the California Court. By its application, TSMC sought an order securing an amount equal to the remaining balance on the promissory notes issued by the Company in connection with the Settlement Agreement. The Company opposed the application. A hearing was held on April 3, 2008. On June 24, 2008, the Court denied TSMC’s application.

In May 2008, TSMC filed a motion in the California Court for summary adjudication against the Company on several of the Company’s cross claims. The Company will oppose the motion. A hearing has been set on the motion for July 25, 2008.

A hearing was held on June 23, 2008, the Company filed with California court a cross-complaint against TSMC seeking, among other things, damages for TSMC’s unlawful stealing of trade secrets from SMIC to improve its competitive position against SMIC.

Under the provisions of SFAS 144, the Company is required to make a determination as to whether or not this pending litigation represents an event that requires a further analysis of whether the patent license portfolio has been impaired. We believe that the lawsuit is at an early stage and we are still evaluating whether or not the litigation represents such an event. The Company expects further information to become available to us which will aid us in making a determination. The outcome of any impairment analysis performed under SFAS 144 might result in a material impact to our financial position and results of operations. Because the case is in its early stages, the Company is unable to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or to estimate the amount or range of potential loss.
