CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
This Report on Form 6-K contains forward-looking statements (within
the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act 1995) based on
our best current information and what we believe to be reasonable assumptions
about anticipated developments. Words such as 'expects', 'anticipates',
'intends' and other similar expressions are intended to identify such
forward-looking statements. Because of the risks and uncertainties that always
exist in any operating environment or business we cannot give any assurance that
the expectations reflected in these statements will prove correct. Actual
results and developments may differ materially depending upon, among other
factors, currency values, competitive pricing, consumption levels, costs,
environmental risks, physical risks, risks related to the integration of
acquisitions, legislative, fiscal and regulatory developments and political and
social conditions in the economies and environments where Unilever operates. You
are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
Further details of these potential risks and uncertainties are given in the
Unilever Annual Report & Accounts and Form 20-F 2002.
