NOTES
TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six months ended
June 30, 2018
Semiconductor
Manufacturing International Corporation (the “Company” or “SMIC”) was established as an exempted company
incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands on April 3, 2000. The address of the principal place of business is 18 Zhangjiang
Road, Pudong New Area, Shanghai, China, 201203. The registered address is at P.O. Box 2681, Cricket Square, Hutchins Drive, Grand
Cayman KY1-1111, Cayman Islands. SMIC is an investment holding company. SMIC and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred
to as the “Group”) are mainly engaged in the computer-aided design, manufacturing, testing, packaging, trading of
integrated circuits and other semiconductor services, as well as designing and manufacturing semiconductor masks.
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting
Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB“)
as well as with the applicable disclosure requirements of Appendix 16 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The
Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, which have been prepared in accordance with
IFRSs.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
The
condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments
which are measured at fair values.
Except
for the adoption of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 on January 1, 2018, the accounting policies and methods of computation used in the condensed
consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 are the same as those followed in the preparation
of the Group’s annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017.
New
and revised standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been issued and relevant to the Group but are
not effective for the financial year beginning on January 1, 2018:
|
New
or revised IFRS
|
|
Effective
date
|
|
IFRS 16 — Lease
|
|
On or after January 1, 2019
|
|
IFRS 17 — Insurance Contracts
|
|
On or after January 1, 2021
|
|
Amendments
to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 — Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its association or joint venture
|
|
Not yet determined
|
|
IFRIC 23 — Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments
|
|
On or after January 1, 2019
|
The
Group is yet to assess the impact of the above new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards
on the Group’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
The
preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that
affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results
may differ from these estimates.
In
preparing this condensed consolidated interim financial information, the significant judgements made by management in applying
the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that were applied to
the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.
|
|
5.
|
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
|
The
Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest
rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The
condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required
in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial statements as at
December 31, 2017.
There
have been no changes in the risk management department since December 31, 2017 or in any risk management policies since December
31, 2017.
The
Group is engaged principally in the computer-aided design, manufacturing and trading of integrated circuits. The Group’s
chief operating decision makers have been identified as the Co-Chief Executive Officers, who review consolidated results when
making decisions about resources allocation and assessing performance of the Group. The Group operates in one segment. The measurement
of segment profits is based on profit from operation as presented in the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income.
The
Group operates in three principal geographical areas — United States, Europe, and Asia Pacific. The Group’s operating
revenue from customers, based on the location of their headquarters, is detailed below.

Non-current
assets are classified as held-for-sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather
than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the non-current asset
is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to
qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.

The
risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the options is based on the yield of the US Treasury Bond. The expected
term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Expected volatilities
are based on the average volatility of the Company’s stock prices with the time period commensurate with the expected term
of the options. The dividend yield is based on the Group’s intended future dividend plan.
The
valuation of the options is based on the best estimates from the Group by taking into account a number of assumptions and is subject
to limitation of the valuation model. Changes in variables and assumptions may affect the fair value of these options.

The
risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the RSUs is based on the yield of the US Treasury Bond. The expected
term of RSUs granted represents the period of time that RSUs granted are expected to be outstanding. Expected volatilities are
based on the average volatility of the Company’s stock prices with the time period commensurate with the expected term of
the RSUs. The dividend yield is based on the Group’s intended future dividend plan.
The
valuation of the RSUs is based on the best estimates from the Group by taking into account a number of assumptions and is subject
to limitation of the valuation model. Changes in variables and assumptions may affect the fair value of these RSUs.

In
the current interim period, share option of the Subsidiary Plan was granted on March 13, 2018. The fair value of the share option
of the Subsidiary Plan determined at the date of grant using the Black- Scholes Option Pricing model was US$0.36.
The
range of exercise prices for share options of the Subsidiary Plan outstanding at the end of the period was from US$0.05 to US$0.36
(six months ended June 30, 2017: US$0.05 to US$0.31).
To
protect against volatility of future cash flows caused by the changes in exchange rates associated with outstanding debt denominated
in a currency other than the US dollar, the Group entered into several cross currency swap contracts, which were designated as
hedging instruments since October 2016. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of these hedging instruments are
taken directly to the statement of profit or loss, except for the effective portion of cash flow hedges, which is recognized in
other comprehensive income (loss) and later reclassified to profit or loss when the hedged item affects profit or loss.
The
hedging reserve is used to record gains or losses on derivatives designated and qualified as cash flow hedges that are recognized
in other comprehensive income (loss). Amounts will be reclassified to profit or loss when the associated hedged transaction affects
profit or loss.

PERPETUAL SUBORDINATED CONVERTIBLE
SECURITIES
|
On
December 14, 2017, the Company issued the perpetual subordinated convertible securities (the “PSCS”) at a par value
of US$250,000 each in the principal amount of US$65.0 million and the net book value of PSCS amounted to US$64.1 million after
the deduction of issue expenses of US$0.9 million.
On
June 29, 2018, the Company issued the PSCS at a par value of US$250,000 each in the principal amount of US$200.0 million.
The
PSCS are included in equity in the Group’s consolidated financial statements as the Group does not have a contractual obligation
to deliver cash or other financial assets arising from the issue of the PSCS. The PSCS will remain as equity reserve until the
PSCS are converted, in which case, the balance recognized in equity will be transferred to ordinary shares and share premium.
As
of June 30, 2018, the net book value of PSCS amounted to US$264.1 million.
For
the six months ended June 30, 2018, no PSCS have been converted into ordinary shares of the Company and the Company paid the distribution
amounted to US$0.7 million.

BORROWINGS
(CONTINUED)
|
As
of June 30, 2018, property, plant and equipment with carrying amount of approximately US$212.9 million (December 31, 2017: US$362.3
million) have been pledged to secure borrowings of the Group (Note 14).
As
at June 30, 2018, other borrowings represented US$477.2 million (December 31, 2017: US$487.7 million) of borrowings under three
arrangements entered into by the Group with third-party financing companies in 2016 in the form of a sale and leaseback transaction
with a repurchase option. A batch of production equipment of the Group was sold and leased back under the financing arrangement.
As the repurchase prices are set at below US$1.00, which are minimal compared to the expected fair value and the Group is certain
that it will exercise the repurchase options, the above arrangements were accounted for as collateralized borrowings of the Group.
Issue
of US$450.0 million zero coupon convertible bonds due 2022
On
July 7, 2016, the Company issued zero coupon convertible bonds at a par value of US$250,000 each with an aggregate principal amount
of US$450.0 million (the “2016 Convertible Bonds”). The issue price was 100% of the aggregate principal amount of
the 2016 Convertible Bonds. The 2016 Convertible Bonds issued is a compound instrument included a liability component and an equity
component. There are embedded derivatives in respect of the early redemption features of the 2016 Convertible Bonds, which are
deemed to be clearly and closely related to the host contract and therefore, do not need to be separately accounted for. The fair
value of the liability component of the 2016 Convertible Bonds was approximately US$387.9 million and the equity component was
approximately US$52.9 million, determined by deducting the amount of the liability component from the fair value of the compound
instrument as a whole.

Trattamento di Fine Rapporto (“TFR”, termination payments) relates to the amounts that
employees in Italy are entitled to receive when they leave the Group and is calculated based on the period of employment and the
taxable earnings of each employee. Under certain conditions, the entitlement may be partially advanced to an employee during the
employee’s working life.
|
The Group operates
defined benefit pension plans in Italy under broadly similar regulatory frameworks, which is an unfunded plan where the Group meets
the benefit payment obligation as it falls due. This plan is final salary pension plan, which provides benefits to members in the
form of a guaranteed level of pension payable for life. The level of benefits provided depends on members’ length of service
and their salary in the final years leading up to retirement. The TFR in payment are generally updated in line with the retail
price index.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
|
The Group considers
that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements
approximate their fair values.
Valuation techniques
and assumptions applied for the purposes of measuring fair value
The fair value of
financial instruments based on quoted market prices in active markets, valuation techniques that use observable market-based inputs
or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Pricing information the Group obtains from third parties is internally
validated for reasonableness prior to use in the condensed consolidated financial statements. When observable market prices are
not readily available, the Group generally estimates the fair value using valuation techniques that rely on alternate market data
or inputs that are generally less readily observable from objective sources and are estimated based on pertinent information available
at the time of the applicable reporting periods. In certain cases, fair values are not subject to precise quantification or verification
and may fluctuate as economic and market factors vary and the Group’s evaluation of those factors changes.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(CONTINUED)
|
Fair value measurements
recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position
The following tables
provide an analysis of financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis subsequent to initial recognition,
grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable. There is no transfer within different levels
of the fair value hierarchy in the period ended June 30, 2018.
|
|
•
|
Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market
for identical assets or liabilities;
|
|
|
•
|
Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included
within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from
prices);
|
|
|
•
|
Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs
for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

In 2018, the technology licensing internally developed and not capitalized was authorized to SMEC
with the revenue of $160.4 million and no related cost of sales recognized by the Group. The corresponding receivables from SMEC
were $151.7 million as of June 30, 2018.
|
|
|

|
In February 2017, there were three arrangements in consideration of US$250.6 million entered into
by the Group with Sino IC Leasing (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sino IC Leasing) in the form of a sale and
leaseback transaction with a repurchase option. A batch of production equipment of the Group was sold and leased back under the
arrangements. As the repurchase prices were set at the expected fair value and the Group is not reasonably certain that it will
exercise the repurchase options, the above transactions were accounted for a disposal of property, plant and equipment followed
with an operating lease.
|
As of June 30, 2018, the Group had total
future minimum lease payments to Sino IC Leasing under non-cancellable operating lease commitments amounted to US$249.0 million
(December 31, 2017: US$294.9 million).
Capital contribution
On May 2, 2018,
IPV Global Technology Management Limited as the general partner and China Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund Co., Ltd
(“China IC Fund”), China IC Capital and other investor as the limited partners entered into the partnership agreement
in relation to the establishment and management of IPV Capital Global Technology Fund (“the IPV Fund”). The IPV Fund

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments — Accounting policies applied from January 1, 2018
|
IFRS 9 replaces
the provisions of IAS 39 that relate to the recognition, classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities,
derecognition of financial instruments, impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting.
|
|
(a)
|
Investments and other financial assets
|
Classification
From January 1, 2018 the Group classifies
its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
|
|
•
|
those to be measured subsequently at fair value (through profit or loss), and
|
|
|
•
|
those to be measured at amortized cost.
|
The classification
depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. For
assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will be recorded in profit or loss.
Measurement
At initial recognition,
the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit
or loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of
financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss.
Financial assets with embedded derivatives
are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.
Debt instruments
Subsequent measurement
of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the
asset. There are two measurement categories into which the Group classifies its debt instruments:
|
|
•
|
Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash
flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. Interest income from these financial
assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognized
directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains or losses, together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment
losses are presented as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.
|
|
|
•
|
FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A
gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognized in profit or loss and presented net within
other gains or losses in the period in which it arises.

(CONTINUED)
|
Equity instruments
The Group subsequently
measures all equity investments at fair value. Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognized in other gains
or losses in the statement of profit or loss as applicable.
Impairment
From January 1,
2018, the Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at
amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
For trade receivables,
the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial
recognition of the receivables.
|
|
(b)
|
Derivatives and hedging
|
The Group has made
the accounting policy choice to continue applying hedge accounting under IAS 39.
The adoption of
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments from January 1, 2018 resulted in changes in accounting policies and adjustments to the amounts recognized
in the financial statements. In accordance with the transitional provisions in IFRS 9, comparative figures have not been restated.
On January 1, 2018
(the date of initial application of IFRS 9), the Group’s management has assessed which business models apply to the financial
assets held by the Group and has classified its financial instruments into the appropriate IFRS 9 categories.
|
|
(i)
|
Reclassification from available-for-sale to FVPL
|
Certain equity
investments were reclassified from available-for-sale to financial assets at FVPL (US$24.8 million as at January 1, 2018). They
do not meet the IFRS 9 criteria for classification at amortized cost, because their cash flows do not represent solely payments
of principal and interest.
Related fair value
gains of US$16.5 million were transferred from the available-for-sale financial assets reserve to retained earnings on January
1, 2018. In the six months to June 30, 2018, net fair value losses of US$0.6 million relating to these investments were recognized
in profit or loss.

Reclassification from other financial assets to FVPL
|
Certain investments
in financial products sold by banks were reclassified from other financial assets to financial assets at FVPL (US$117.9 million
as at January 1, 2018). They do not meet the IFRS 9 criteria for classification at amortized cost, because their cash flows do
not represent solely payments of principal and interest.
|
|
(iii)
|
Reclassification from other financial assets to amortized cost
|
Certain investments
in over 3 months bank deposits were reclassified from other financial assets to amortized cost (US$559.0 million as at January
1, 2018). At the date of initial application the Group’s business model is to hold these investments for collection of contractual
cash flows, and the cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount. There was no impact
on retained earnings at January 1, 2018.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
|
The new IFRS 15
standard establishes a single revenue recognition framework. The core principle of the framework is that an entity should recognize
revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which
the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. IFRS 15 supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance
including IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and related interpretations.
IFRS 15 requires
the application of a 5 steps approach to revenue recognition:
|
|
•
|
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer
|
|
|
•
|
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
|
|
|
•
|
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
|
|
|
•
|
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation
|
|
|
•
|
Step 5: Recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied
|
IFRS 15 includes
specific guidance on particular revenue related topics that may change the current approach taken under IFRS. The standard also
significantly enhances the qualitative and quantitative disclosures related to revenue.
The standard permits
either a full retrospective method to each prior reporting period presented or a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative
effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application. The Group has performed a detailed assessment
on the impact of the adoption of IFRS 15 and decided to adopt a full retrospective approach. The expected changes in accounting
policies will not have any significant impact on the Group’s financial statements.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(CONTINUED)
|
The Group manufactures
semiconductor wafers for its customers based on the customers’ designs and specifications pursuant to manufacturing agreements
and/or purchase orders. The Group also sells certain semiconductor standard products to customers.
Revenue from the
sale of goods is recognized when the goods are delivered and titles have passed, at which time all the following conditions are
satisfied:
|
|
•
|
the Group has transferred to the buyer the control of the goods;
|
|
|
•
|
the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control
over the goods sold;
|
|
|
•
|
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
|
|
|
•
|
it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and
|
|
|
•
|
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
|
Customers have the
right of return within one year pursuant to warranty provisions. The Group typically performs tests of its products prior to shipment
to identify yield rate per wafer. Occasionally, product tests performed after shipment identify yields below the level agreed with
the customer. In those circumstances, the customer arrangement may provide for a reduction to the price paid by the customer or
for the costs to return products and to ship replacement products to the customer. The Group estimates the amount of sales returns
and the cost of replacement products based on the historical trend of returns and warranty replacements relative to sales as well
as a consideration of any current information regarding specific known product defects at customers that may exceed historical
trends.
The Group has adopted
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers from January 1, 2018 which resulted in changes in accounting policies and adjustments
to the amounts recognized in the financial statements. In accordance with the transition provisions in IFRS 15, the Group has adopted
the new rules retrospectively and has restated comparatives for the 2017 financial year. Contract liabilities has been presented
in the balance sheet to reflect the terminology of IFRS 15, in relation to advance payment received from customers were previously
included in trade and other payables (US$43.0 million as at January 1, 2018).

(i)
|
Sale and leaseback agreements with Sino IC Leasing
|
In July 2018, there
were four arrangements in consideration of US$306.8 million entered into by the Group with Xinhe Leasing (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. (a
majority-owned subsidiary of Sino IC Leasing) in the form of a sale and leaseback transaction with a repurchase option. A batch
of production equipment of the Group was sold and leased back under the arrangements. As the repurchase prices were set at the
expected fair value and the Group is not reasonably certain that it will exercise the repurchase options, the above transactions
were accounted for a disposal of property, plant and equipment followed with an operating lease.

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Board of Directors (the “Board”)
of Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (the “Company” or “SMIC”) would like to announce
the unaudited interim results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Group”)
for the six months ended June 30, 2018, and would like to express its gratitude to the shareholders and its staff for their support
for the Group.
SALES
Sales increased by 11.5% from US$1,544.3 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to US$1,721.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Excluding the recognition
of technology licensing revenue, sale increased from US$1,544.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to US$1,561.3 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to an increase in wafer shipments during this period. The number of wafer
shipments increased by 11.0% from 2,109,919 8-inch wafer equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to 2,341,966 8-inch
wafer equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The technology licensing revenue of US$160.4 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2018 internally developed and not capitalized was authorized to Semiconductor Manufacturing Electronics (Shaoxing)
Corporation (an associate of the Group) with no related cost of sales recognized by the Group.
COST OF SALES AND GROSS PROFIT
Cost of sales increased by 13.7% from US$1,129.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to US$1,283.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to an
increase in wafer shipment and product-mix change during this period.
The Group had gross profit of US$438.0 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to gross profit of US$415.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, representing
an increase of 5.6%. Gross margin decreased to 25.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from 26.9% for the six months ended
June 30, 2017. Excluding the recognition of technology licensing revenue, gross margin decreased to 17.8% for the six months ended
June 30, 2018 from 26.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2017, primarily due to product-mix change and lower average selling
price during this period.
PROFIT FOR THE PERIOD FROM
OPERATIONS
Profit from operations decreased from US$99.0 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to US$61.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to an increase of
research and development expenses in the first half of 2018.
Research and development expenses increased by 23.4%
from US$219.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to US$270.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase
was mainly due to the increase of advanced technology research and development activities.
General and administrative expenses increased by
US$6.7 million from US$93.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to US$100.3 million for the six months ended June 30,
2018.
Sales and marketing expenses decreased by US$3.2
million from US$19.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to US$16.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Other operating incomes were US$10.5 million and
US$16.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The decrease was mainly due to less government funding
received in the first half of 2018.
PROFIT FOR THE PERIOD
The Group had a profit of US$58.7 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to US$97.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 mainly due to the net impact
of 1) the factors described above, 2) more interest income, 3) increased foreign exchange gain, and 4) less gains on investment
and disposal of equities.
FUNDING SOURCES FOR MATERIAL CAPITAL EXPENDITURE
IN THE COMING YEAR
In 2018, the Group plans to spend approximately
US$2.3 billion in capital expenditures for foundry operations which are subject to adjustment based on market conditions. The capital
expenditures are mainly for 1) the expansion of capacity in our majority-owned Beijing 300mm fab, Tianjin 200mm fab and Shanghai
300mm fab, and 2) research and development equipment, mask shops and intellectual property acquisition.
In addition, the Group budgeted approximately US$136.7
million in 2018 as capital expenditures for non-foundry operations. This is mainly for the construction of employee’s living
quarters.
The Group’s actual expenditures may differ
from its planned expenditures for a variety of reasons, including changes in its business plan, market conditions, equipment prices,
or customer requirements. The Group will monitor the global economy, the semiconductor industry, the demands of its customers,
and its cash flow from operations and will adjust its capital expenditures plans as necessary.
The primary sources of capital resources and liquidity
include cash generated from operations, bank borrowings and debt or equity issuances and other forms of financing. Future acquisitions,
mergers, strategic investments, or other developments also may require additional financing. The amount of capital required to
meet the Group’s growth and development targets is difficult to predict in the highly cyclical and rapidly changing semiconductor
industry.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Group
incurred capital expenditures of US$880.9 million, compared to US$1,508.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The Group
financed its capital expenditures primarily from cash flows generated from operating and financing activities.
The Group had US$1,414.3 million in cash and cash
equivalent as of June 30, 2018. These cash and cash equivalent are held in the form of United States Dollars, Japanese Yen, Euro
and Chinese Renminbi.
Net cash from operating activities decreased from
US$392.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to US$205.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due
to 1) decreased gross margin excluding the recognition of technology licensing revenue, 2) increased research and development activities,
and 3) less government funding received.
Net cash used in investing activities was US$1,611.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily attributable to 1) purchases of plant and equipment mainly for the fabs
in Shanghai, Beijing and Tianjin, 2) the net result of proceeds from selling and payments for financial assets at amortized cost
and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, and 3) payments for acquiring long-term investment. Net cash used in
investing activities was US$1,850.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, primarily attributable to 1) purchases of plant
and equipment mainly for the fabs in Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen, 2) the net result of proceeds from selling and payments for
acquiring financial assets, 3) payments for acquiring long-term investment, and 4) the net proceeds from disposal of property,
plant and equipment and assets classified as held for sale.
Net cash generated from financing activities was
US$968.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, which was primarily 1) the net result of proceeds from new financing and
repayments of bank borrowings, 2) the proceeds from issuance of perpetual subordinated convertible securities and new shares, and
3) the proceeds from the capital contribution of non-controlling interests. Net cash generated from financing activities was US$206.9
million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, which was primarily 1) the net result of proceeds from new financing and repayments
of bank borrowings, and 2) the repayment of short-term notes.
As of June 30, 2018, the Group’s outstanding
long-term liabilities primarily consisted of US$539.3 million in secured bank loans, US$1,446.3 million in unsecured bank loans,

Contribution obligations will lead to an increase in the registered capital from RMB355 million to RMB1.82 billion (approximately
US$56.2 million to US$288.1 million).
COMMITMENTS
As of June 30, 2018, the Group had commitments of
US$307.4 million for facilities construction obligations in connection with the Company’s Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, Shenzhen
and Jiangyin facilities, US$705.1 million to purchase machinery and equipment mainly for the Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen and Jiangyin
fabs and US$3.7 million to purchase intellectual property.
As of June 30, 2018, the Group had total future
minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases amounted to US$249.0 million.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities
in the Group will be able to continue as going concerns while maximizing the return to stakeholders through the optimization of
the capital structure. The capital structure of the Group consists of net debt and equity of the Group.
Where the entity manages its capital through issuing/repurchasing
shares and raising/repayment of debts. The Group reviews the capital structure on a semi-annual basis. As part of this review,
the Group considers the cost of capital and the risks associates with each class of capital. The Group will balance its overall
capital structure through the payment of dividends, new share issues and share buy-backs as well as the issue of new debt or the
redemption of existing debt.
DEBT TO EQUITY RATIO
As of June 30, 2018, the Group’s debt to equity
ratio was approximately 45.3%, which was calculated by dividing the sum of the short-term and long-term borrowings, medium-term
notes, convertible bonds and corporate bonds by total shareholders’ equity. The net debt to equity ratio was approximately
9.7%, which was calculated by dividing the total debt minus cash and cash equivalents, current financial assets at fair value through
profit or loss and financial assets at amortised cost by total shareholders’ equity.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATE FLUCTUATION
RISK
The Group’s revenue, expense, and capital
expenditures are primarily transacted in U.S. dollars. The Group also enters into transactions in other currencies. The Group is
primarily exposed to changes in exchange rates for the Euro, Japanese Yen and RMB.
To minimize these risks, the Group purchases foreign-currency
forward exchange contracts with contract terms normally lasting less than twelve months to protect against the adverse effect that
exchange rate fluctuation may have on foreign-currency denominated activities. These forward exchange contracts are principally
denominated in RMB, Japanese Yen or Euros and do not qualify for hedge accounting in accordance with IFRS.
Outstanding foreign exchange contracts
As of June 30, 2018, the Group had outstanding foreign
currency forward exchange contract with notional amounts of US$29.8 million, which will mature in 2018. As of June 30, 2018, the
fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts was approximately US$(0.8) million, which was recorded in derivative
financial instruments in current liabilities.
As of December 31, 2017, the Group had outstanding
foreign currency forward exchange contract with notional amounts of US$98.4 million, which matured in 2018. The Group does not
enter into foreign currency exchange contracts for speculative purposes.

CROSS CURRENCY SWAP FLUCTUATION
RISK
The Group entered into several RMB denominated loan
facility agreements and issued RMB notes (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “RMB Debts”). As a result, the
Group was primarily exposed to changes in the exchange rate for the RMB. To minimize the currency risk, the Group entered into
cross currency swap contracts with a contract term fully matching the repayment schedule of the whole part of these RMB Debts to
protect against the adverse effect of exchange rate fluctuations arising from the RMB Debts.
Outstanding cross currency swap contracts
As of June 30, 2018, the Group had outstanding cross
currency swap contracts with notional amounts of RMB8,937.0 million (approximately US$1,350.7 million). Notional amounts are stated
in the U.S. dollar equivalents at spot exchange rates as of the respective dates. As of June 30, 2018, the fair value of cross
currency swap contracts was approximately US$18.9 million, of which approximately US$23.5 million was recorded in derivative financial
instruments in assets and approximately US$(4.6) million was recorded in derivative financial instruments in liabilities. The cross
currency swap contracts will mature during the period 2018 to 2023.
As of December 31, 2017, the Group had outstanding
cross currency swap contracts with notional amounts of RMB6,398.0 million (approximately US$979.2 million). Notional amounts are
stated in the U.S. dollar equivalents at spot exchange rates as of the respective dates. As of December 31, 2017, the fair value
of cross currency swap contracts was approximately US$19.7 million, of which approximately US$(2.7) million was recorded in other
financial liabilities and approximately US$22.3 million was recorded in other financial assets. The cross currency swap contracts
will mature during the period 2018 to 2022.

Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officers are segregated. The role of Chairman is performed by Dr. Zhou Zixue and the roles of Co-Chief
Executive Officers are performed by Dr. Zhao Haijun and Dr. Liang Mong Song.
On an annual basis, each independent non-executive
Director confirms his independence to the Company, and the Company considers these Directors to be independent as such term is
defined in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Listing Rules. There are no relationships among members of the Board, including between
the Chairman of the Board and the Co-Chief Executive Officer.
The Board meets at least four times a year at approximately
quarterly intervals and on such other occasions as may be required to discuss and vote upon significant issues affecting the Company.
The schedule of Board meetings for a given year is planned in the preceding year. The joint company secretaries of the Company
(the “Joint Company Secretaries”) assist the Chairman in preparing the agenda for the Board meetings and also assist
the Board in complying with applicable laws, rules and regulations. The relevant papers for the Board meetings are dispatched to
Board members in accordance with the CG Code. Directors may include matters for discussion in the agenda if the need arises. Upon
the conclusion of the Board meeting, minutes are circulated to all Directors for their review and comments prior to their approval
of the minutes at the following or subsequent Board meeting. Transactions in which any Directors are considered to have a conflict
of interest which the Board has determined to be material are dealt with by physical Board meetings rather than written resolutions
and the interested Directors are not counted in the quorum of such Board meetings and abstain from voting on the relevant matters.
All Directors have access to the Joint Company Secretaries,
who are responsible for assisting the Board in complying with applicable procedures regarding compliance matters. Every Board member
is entitled to have access to documents tabled at the Board meeting or filed into the Company’s minutes book. Furthermore,
the Board has established the procedures pursuant to which a Director, upon reasonable request, may seek independent professional
advice at the Company’s expense in order for such Director to discharge his duties. The Joint Company Secretaries continuously
update all Directors on the latest development of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Listing Rules and other applicable regulatory requirements
to ensure the Company’s compliance with and maintenance of good corporate governance practices. Each new Director is provided
with training with respect to his responsibilities under the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Listing Rules and other regulatory requirements

looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. These forward-looking statements are necessarily
estimates reflecting judgment of SMIC’s senior management and involve significant risks, both known and unknown, uncertainties
and other factors that may cause SMIC’s actual performance, financial condition or results of operations to be materially
different from those suggested by the forward-looking statements including, among others, risks associated with cyclicality and
market conditions in the semiconductor industry, intense competition, timely wafer acceptance by SMIC’s customers, bad debt
risk, timely introduction of new technologies, SMIC’s ability to ramp new products into volume, supply and demand for semiconductor
foundry services, industry overcapacity, shortages in equipment, components and raw materials, availability of manufacturing capacity
and financial stability in end markets.
Except as required by law,
SMIC undertakes no obligation and does not intend to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.
