industry in 2011.

While this may have some impact on overall global industry growth rates, UMS believes that its growth initiatives over

the last six months have strengthened its core business fundamentals, for which its outlook remains intact in FY2011.

In the last six months, the second pillar of growth in semiconductor systems has been firmly established and has

contributed significantly to financial performance. The Group expects this to continue into FY2011 based on order

indications as customer forecasts of orders for the next 2 quarters have remained strong.

Additionally the Group intends to continue to pursue ongoing internal initiatives to further increase financial and

operating efficiencies that will help to enhance the Group's performance.

With these strategies already in place, corporate actions such as our proposed dual listing in Korea will better position

us to raise our investment profile in our primary Singapore market, as well as explore M& A opportunities to enhance

shareholder value. The details of the proposed Korea listing can be found in our previous SGX announcements.

Based on customer forecasts, the Directors are confident that UMS’ performance in the first six months of FY2011

(“1H2011”) will remain strong and profitable.
