REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To United Microelectronics Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of United Microelectronics Corporation and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006. 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 conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China (“ROC”) and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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 consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated 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, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with the “Business Entity Accounting Law”, “Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China, which differ in certain respects from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (see Note 39 to the consolidated financial statements).

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of United Microelectronics Corporation and Subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated May 4, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

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

As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, effective from January 1, 2005, United Microelectronics Corporation and Subsidiaries adopted the amendments to the R.O.C. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, “Accounting for Long-term Equity Investment”, adopted the amendments to the R.O.C. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7, “Consolidation of Financial Statements”, and adopted the R.O.C. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 35, “Accounting for Asset Impairment”. Effective from January 1, 2006, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of United Microelectronics Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005. 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 conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated 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, 2004 and 2005, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, in conformity with the “Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China, which differ in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (see note 34 to the consolidated financial statements).

As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2005, United Microelectronics Corporation and subsidiaries adopted the R.O.C. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 35, “Accounting for Asset Impairment”, adopted the R.O.C.
