These statements are based upon Unocal’s current expectations and beliefs and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, those set forth in the related earnings news release and on pages 56-65 of Unocal’s 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, and in subsequent reports filed by Unocal with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
