Notes (unaudited)

UBS AG's ("UBS") consolidated financial statements (Financial Statements) are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and stated in Swiss francs (CHF). These Financial Statements are presented in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. In preparing the interim Financial Statements, the same accounting principles and methods of computation are applied as in the Financial Statements on 31 December 2007 and for the year then ended except for the changes set out below. For fair value measurements applied in first and second quarter 2008, UBS provides supplementary information in Note 10. The interim Financial Statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been made. These interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Financial Statements included in the UBS Annual Report 2007.

IFRS 2 Share-based Payment: Vesting Conditions and Cancellations

On 1 January 2008, UBS adopted an amendment to IFRS 2 Share-based Payment: Vesting Conditions and Cancellations and fully restated the two comparative prior years. The amended standard clarifies the definition of vesting conditions and the accounting treatment of cancellations. Under the amended standard, UBS is required to distinguish between vesting conditions (such as service and performance conditions) and non-vesting conditions.

The amended standard no longer considers vesting conditions to include certain non-compete provisions.

The impact of this change is that UBS compensation awards are expensed over the period that the employee is required to provide active services in order to earn the award. Post-vesting sale and hedge restrictions and non-vesting conditions are considered when determining grant date fair value. The effect of the restatement on the opening balance sheet at 1 January 2006 was as follows: reduction of retained earnings by approximately CHF 2.3 billion, increase of share premium by approximately CHF 2.3 billion, increase of liabilities (including deferred tax liabilities) by approximately CHF 0.5 billion, and increase of deferred tax assets by approximately CHF 0.5 billion. Additional compensation expense of CHF 797 million and CHF 516 million was recognized in 2007 and 2006, respectively. The implementation of the amended IFRS 2 resulted in the following increases of compensation expenses previously reported in the quarterly Financial Statements 2007: CHF 280 million, CHF 124 million, CHF 79 million and CHF 314 million for the quarters ended 31 March 2007, 30 June 2007, 30 September 2007 and 31 December 2007, respectively. These additional compensation expenses include awards granted in 2008 for the performance year 2007. The impact of the restatement on total equity as of 31 December 2007 was a decrease of CHF 366 million. Retained earnings at 31 December 2007 decreased by approximately CHF 3.9 billion, share premium increased by approximately CHF 3.5 billion, liabilities (including deferred tax liabilities) increased by approximately CHF 0.6 billion and deferred tax assets increased by approximately CHF 0.2 billion. The restatement decreased basic and diluted earnings per share as follows: CHF 0.12, CHF 0.04, CHF 0.02 and CHF 0.27 for the quarters ended 31 March 2007, 30 June 2007, 30 September 2007 and 31 December 2007, respectively.

The additional compensation expense is attributable to the acceleration of expense related to share-based awards as well as for certain alternative investment vehicle awards and deferred cash compensation awards which contain non-compete provisions and sale and hedge restrictions that no longer qualify as vesting conditions under the amended standard.

Revenues from Industrial Holdings and Goods and materials purchased

The income statement no longer includes the lines Revenues from Industrial Holdings and Goods and materials purchased, as the last consolidated industrial private equity investment in Industrial Holdings was sold in first quarter 2008 and is classified as a discontinued operation in UBS's income statement. Prior periods have been restated to reflect this classification.

Changes to segment reporting

UBS has continuously reduced its private equity business in Industrial Holdings over the last three years. The business no longer includes consolidated industrial private equity investments. Starting first quarter 2008, UBS is reporting the remaining activities from this business, mainly financial investments available-for-sale, under Corporate Center.

Forfeiture rules in Equity Ownership Plans (EOP)

In second quarter 2008, UBS decided that EOP awards to be granted in 2009 for the year 2008 will generally be forfeitable upon termination of employment (i.e. "non-good leaver" clause). As a consequence, compensation expense for these awards will be recognized over the vesting period, which begins on the grant date of the awards, in the first quarter 2009. Accrued compensation expense recognized in first quarter 2008 for EOP awards to be granted in 2009 was based on the assumption that these awards, like the awards granted for prior years, will be forfeitable only upon violation of non-compete provisions ("good leaver" clause) rather than simply upon termination of employment. The reversal of these accruals in second quarter 2008 resulted in a reduction of personnel expenses of CHF 256 million, an increase of tax expense of CHF 38 million, a decrease in share premium of CHF 237 million, a decrease in deferred tax assets of CHF 21 million, and a net decrease in liabilities (including current and deferred tax liabilities) of CHF 2 million.
