Commenting on the quarterly results, Dr. Richard Chang, Chief Executive Officer of SMIC, remarked, "The third quarter of 2009 displayed a continued foundry market recovery. In the third quarter of 2009, SMIC exceeded its original guidance, achieving about 21% quarter-over-quarter growth in revenue; furthermore, we expect revenue for the fourth quarter of 2009 to continue to grow 2% to 5% quarter-over-quarter. Utilization rose to 87.3% in the third quarter compared to 75.4% in the second quarter. Significant growth was exhibited in consumer sales, which grew 40.6% quarter-over-quarter. Regionally, Greater China revenue grew by 33.5%, North America sales increased by 16.7%, and European sales increased by 3% quarter-over-quarter. North America maintained the largest contribution to revenue with strong growth in the advanced nodes, while revenue contribution from Greater China increased to 36.6% of total revenue in the third quarter of 2009 compared to 33.2% in the second quarter of 2009 and 31.2% in the third quarter of 2008. In the third quarter of 2009, 80% of our new customers are from the Greater China region. Our product mix is improving and we are accelerating our advanced node development. We see a shift to higher-end products, as sales from 0.18-um and above are shifting into 0.13-um and below. Our 0.13-um and below wafer revenue reached 52.8% of total wafer revenue in the third quarter of 2009 compared to 46.4% in the second quarter of 2009. In terms of advanced technology development, our 65-nm production ramp is on schedule and with our 65-nm low leakage library and key IPs in place, we expect to continue to ramp up 65-nm shipments in the fourth quarter of 2009 and into 2010. In addition, our 45-nm development is ahead of schedule with multiple customers working with us in various stages of qualification, and we target our first 45-nm product tape-out by the end of this year. We now provide a complete offering for advanced nodes down to 40-nm, and we recently announced the extension of our technology to 55-nm. Moreover, we have started our 32-nm program and have engaged partners and customers in the research and development phase. Looking into the fourth quarter of 2009, we see improving gross margins on higher revenue with significant growth in the advanced nodes, including 90-nm and 65-nm nodes. Total depreciation and amortization expense is expected to fall considerably in 2010 as most of our Shanghai 8-inch fab equipment fully depreciates. We continue to exercise vigilant cost control and expect our full year capital expenditure to be around $190 million for the current year. In summary, we continue to strive towards profitability through improving our product mix, advancing our process technology and remaining disciplined in capital expenditure."

Material Litigation Recent TSMC Legal Developments: On August 25, 2006, TSMC filed a lawsuit against the Company and certain subsidiaries, namely SMIC (Shanghai), SMIC (Beijing) and SMIC (Americas) in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Alameda for alleged breach of a 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 that 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. The Court has set a trial date of September 8, 2009. 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, namely, 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. 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 a 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. 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 opposed the motion and on August 6, 2008, the Court granted in part and denied in part TSMC's motion. On June 23, 2008, the Company filed in the California court a cross-complaint against TSMC seeking, among other things, damages for TSMC's unlawful misappropriation of trade secrets from SMIC to improve its competitive position against SMIC. On July 10, 2008, the California Court held a preliminary injunction hearing on TSMC's motion to enjoin disclosure of information on certain process recipes in the Company's 0.30 micron logic process flows to 3rd parties. On August 8, 2008, the Court granted-in-part TSMC's motion and preliminarily enjoined SMIC from disclosing fourteen 0.30 micron process steps. On October 3, 2008, SMIC filed a notice of appeal of the Court's August 8, 2008 Order with the California Court of Appeal. This appeal is currently pending. During the pre-trial proceedings in the matter, as noted above under "Overview of TSMC Litigation", questions arose regarding the actual terms of the 2005 Settlement Agreement between SMIC and TSMC. Accordingly, the California Court held a preliminary trial on January 13 to 16, 2009, limited to a determination of the terms of the Settlement Agreement and an interpretation of any requirements to "meet and confer" prior to institution of litigation. On March 10, 2009, the Court issued a Statement of Decision finding, in part, that an agreement between the parties was executed on January 30, 2005, and thereafter amended on February 2, 2005, as urged by TSMC. The Company believes the Court's ruling is erroneous. The ruling may be appealed by SMIC following the filing of a final judgment by the Court in this matter. On May 1, 2009, the Company filed motions for summary adjudication against TSMC's claims for breach of promissory notes and violation of the California Uniform Trade Secrets Act. On July 20, 2009, the Court denied the Company's motions. On May 1, 2009, TSMC filed a motion for summary adjudication of various of the Company's affirmative defenses. On July 20, 2009, the Court granted in part and denied in part TSMC's motion. The Company believes the Court's ruling, to the extent it granted in part TSMC's motion, is erroneous. The ruling may be appealed by SMIC following the filing of a final judgment by the Court in this matter. On August 10, 2009, TSMC moved for sanctions based on the alleged intentional destruction by the Company of certain documentary evidence relevant to the litigation. The Court granted the motion in part, and ruled that as a sanction, the Company's trade secret cross claims will be severed and continued to a separate trial to allow recovery of files from the Company's archival backups. Additionally, the Court has stated it will instruct the jury that it is allowed, but not required, to decide certain issues at trial against the Company on the basis of loss of evidence. The Company believes the order is erroneous. It is appealable only upon the filing of a final judgment in the lawsuit. On September 8, 2009, jury trial commenced upon all liability issues related to a selected list of TSMC trade secret claims. It is anticipated that the jury will render a verdict in November, 2009. Following the jury's verdict in this trial, the Court is expected to set a trial date for the Company's trade secret misappropriation cross claims against TSMC. In the Company's action in the Beijing High People's Court, following an unsuccessful challenge to that Court's jurisdiction by TSMC, the Court has held evidentiary hearings on October 15, October 29, and November 25, 2008. The Court rendered its first-instance judgment on June 10, 2009. Claims of SMIC against TSMC were not supported by the Court in the first-instance judgment. SMIC has appealed the first-instance judgment to the PRC Supreme People's Court. The Supreme Court has set a second-instance trial date of November 25, 2009. Under the provisions of ASC 360-10 (formerly 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. The Company is still evaluating whether or not the litigation represents such an event. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the litigation. However, an adverse judgment on TSMC's claim for breach of contract could result in a termination of the patent license and an adverse judgment on either TSMC's claim for breach of contract or its trade secret misappropriation claim could have a materially adverse affect on the Company's financial position and results of operations. The outcome of any impairment analysis performed under ASC 360-10 might result in a material impact to our financial position and results of operations.
