AU Optronics Corp. Third Quarter 2013 Results Investor Conference Safe Harbor Notice [] The statements included in this presentation that are not historical in nature are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements, which may include statements regarding AU Optronics' future results of operations, financial condition or business prospects, are subject to significant risks and uncertainties and are based on AU Optronics' current expectations. [] Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons, including, among other things: the cyclical nature of our industry; our dependence on introducing new products on a timely basis; our dependence on growth in the demand for our products; our ability to compete effectively; our ability to successfully expand our capacity; our dependence on key personnel; general economic and political conditions, including those related to the TFT-LCD industry; possible disruptions in commercial activities caused by natural and human-induced disasters, including terrorist activity and armed conflict; and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. [] Beginning on January 1, 2013, we have adopted the International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS") to the extent endorsed by the ROC Financial Supervisory Commission ("FSC") ("Taiwan IFRS") for reporting our annual and interim consolidated financial statements in the ROC in accordance with the requirements of the FSC. All financial information contained herewithin is presented in conformity with Taiwan IFRS. Readers should be cautioned that Taiwan IFRS differs in many material respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China ("ROC GAAP"), the United States of America ("US GAAP"), and IFRS including to the extent that any new or amended standards or interpretations applicable under IFRS may not be timely endorsed by the FSC. We have historically presented our consolidated financial statements in accordance with ROC GAAP, including our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012. Consequently, the selected comparison financial information to be included in our quarterly earning releases in 2013 may differ materially from those released historically. [] Our release of financial forecasts and forward-looking statements at any particular time does not create any duty of disclosure beyond that which is imposed by law, and we expressly disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forecasts or forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. [] Additional information as to these and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from AU Optronics' forward-looking statements or some of the major differences between ROC GAAP and US GAAP, IFRS or Taiwan IFRS can be found in AU Optronics' Annual Report on Form 20-F with respect to the year ended December, 2012 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. |
