Based on our unaudited financial statements for the full year of 2013, revenue in 2013 reached a record high, of $2.07B, an annual growth of 21.6% when compared to 2012. If we remove the Wuhan Xinxin revenue contribution, SMIC revenue growth rate was a robust 27%.

Our monthly capacity at year-end grew 6.7% year over year, to 234 thousand wafers per month compared to the end of 2012.
"I'm happy to announce that our 28nm High-K Metal Gate (HKMG) and PolySiON processes are both process frozen successfully, and are in Multi Project Wafer stage. We target modest revenue from 28nm process technology at the end of 2014 and more significant ramp up in 2015.
"China continues to be a leading source of high growth for SMIC. In 2013, China revenue accounted for 40.4% of our revenues, with a noteworthy growth rate of 44.9% compared to 2012.
