CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

     This Report on Form 6-K may contain "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as
"expects", "anticipates", "intends" and other similar expressions of future
performance or results are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations and
assumptions regarding anticipated developments and other factors affecting
Unilever. Because of the risks and uncertainties that always exist in any
operating environment or business, Unilever cannot give any assurance that
the expectations expressed in these statements will prove correct. Actual
results may differ materially from those included in these statements due to a
variety of factors, including, among others, competitive pricing and activities,
consumption levels, costs, the ability to maintain and manage key customer
relationships and supply chain sources, currency values, interest rates, the
ability to integrate acquisitions and complete planned divestitures, physical
risks, environmental risks, the ability to manage regulatory, tax and legal
matters and resolve pending matters within current estimates, legislative,
fiscal and regulatory developments, and political, economic and social
conditions in the geographic markets where Unilever operates. Unilever
undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, and you are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
Further details of potential risks and uncertainties affecting Unilever are
described in Unilever's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
including the Annual Report and Accounts on Form 20-F.
