INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Those rules and standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, requirements of the Business Accounting Law and Guidelines Governing Business Accounting with respect to financial accounting standards, and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.
As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, effective January 1, 2009, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited adopted the newly revised Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 10, “Accounting for Inventories.” In addition, effective January 1, 2008, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited adopted Interpretation 2007-052, “Accounting for Bonuses to Employees, Directors and Supervisors,” issued by the Accounting Research and Development Foundation of the Republic of China and relevant requirements promulgated by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Executive Yuan.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008
(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Specified Otherwise)
1.   GENERAL
 
    Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (the “Company” or “TSMC”), a Republic of China (R.O.C.) corporation, was incorporated on February 21, 1987. The Company is a dedicated foundry in the semiconductor industry which engages mainly in the manufacturing, selling, packaging, testing and computer-aided designing of integrated circuits and other semiconductor devices and the manufacturing of masks. On September 5, 1994, its shares were listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE). On October 8, 1997, TSMC listed some of its shares of stock on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in the form of American Depositary Shares (ADSs).
 
    As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had 22,292 and 20,425 employees, respectively.
 
2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    The financial statements are presented in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, Business Accounting Law, Guidelines Governing Business Accounting, and accounting principles generally accepted in the R.O.C.
 
    For the convenience of readers, the accompanying financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the R.O.C. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language financial statements shall prevail.
 
    Significant accounting policies are summarized as follows:
 
    Use of Estimates
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the aforementioned guidelines, law and principles requires management to make reasonable assumptions and estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. The actual results may differ from management’s estimates.
 
    Classification of Current and Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities
 
    Current assets are assets held for trading purposes and assets expected to be converted to cash, sold or consumed within one year from the balance sheet date. Current liabilities are obligations incurred for trading purposes and obligations expected to be settled within one year from the balance sheet date. Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are noncurrent assets and liabilities, respectively.
 
    Cash Equivalents
 
    Repurchase agreements collateralized by government bonds acquired with maturities of less than three months from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. The carrying amount approximates fair value.

-10-


 

    Financial Assets/Liabilities at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss
 
    Derivatives that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting are initially recognized at fair value, with transaction costs expensed as incurred. The derivatives are remeasured at fair value subsequently with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is accounted for using settlement date accounting.
 
    Fair value is estimated using valuation techniques incorporating estimates and assumptions that are consistent with prevailing market conditions. When the fair value is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; when the fair value is negative, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.
 
    Available-for-sale Financial Assets
 
    Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. Changes in fair value from subsequent remeasurement are reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. The corresponding accumulated gains or losses are recognized in earnings when the financial asset is derecognized from the balance sheet. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is accounted for using settlement date accounting.
 
    The fair value of debt securities is determined using the average of bid and asked prices at the end of the year.
 
    Any difference between the initial carrying amount of a debt security and the amount due at maturity is amortized using the effective interest method, with the amortization recognized in earnings.
 
    If there is objective evidence which indicates that a financial asset is impaired, a loss is recognized. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases, for equity securities, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed to the extent of the decrease and recorded as an adjustment to shareholders’ equity; for debt securities, the amount of the decrease is recognized in earnings, provided that the decrease is clearly attributable to an event which occurred after the impairment loss was recognized.
 
    Held-to-maturity Financial Assets
 
    Debt securities for which the Company has a positive intention and ability to hold to maturity are categorized as held-to-maturity financial assets and are carried at amortized cost. Those financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. Gains or losses are recognized at the time of derecognition, impairment or amortization. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is accounted for using settlement date accounting.
 
    If there is objective evidence which indicates that a financial asset is impaired, a loss is recognized. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease is clearly attributable to an event which occurred after the impairment loss was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed to the extent of the decrease. The reversal may not result in a carrying amount that exceeds the amortized cost that would have been determined as if no impairment loss had been recognized.
 
    Allowance for Doubtful Receivables
 
    An allowance for doubtful receivables is provided based on a review of the collectability of receivables. The Company determines the amount of the allowance for doubtful receivables with a charge of 1% of the amount of outstanding receivables considering the account aging analysis and current trends in the credit quality of its customers.

-11-


 

    Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Sales Returns and Others
 
    The Company recognizes revenue when evidence of an arrangement exists, the rewards of ownership and significant risk of the goods has been transferred to the buyer, price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Provisions for estimated sales returns and others are recorded in the year the related revenue is recognized, based on historical experience, management’s judgment, and any known factors that would significantly affect the allowance.
 
    Sales prices are determined using fair value taking into account related sales discounts agreed to by the Company and its customers. Sales agreements typically provide that payment is due 30 days from invoice date for a majority of the customers and 30 to 45 days after the end of the month in which sales occur for some customers. Since the receivables from sales are collectible within one year and such transactions are frequent, fair value of the receivables is equivalent to the nominal amount of the cash to be received.
 
    Inventories
 
    Inventories are recorded at standard cost and adjusted to approximate weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.
 
    Prior to January 1, 2009, inventories were stated at the lower of cost or market value. Any write-down was made on a total-inventory basis. Market value represented replacement cost for raw materials, supplies and spare parts and net realizable value for work in process and finished goods.
 
    As stated in Note 3, effective January 1, 2009, inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made on an item-by-item basis, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and necessary selling costs.
 
    Investments Accounted for Using Equity Method
 
    Investments in companies wherein the Company exercises significant influence over the operating and financial policy decisions are accounted for using the equity method. The Company’s share of the net income or net loss of an investee is recognized in the “equity in earnings/losses of equity method investees, net” account. The cost of an investment shall be analyzed and the cost of investment in excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired, representing goodwill, shall not be amortized. If the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the cost of investment, the excess shall be proportionately allocated as reductions to fair values of non-current assets (except for financial assets other than investments accounted for using the equity method and deferred income tax assets). When an indication of impairment is identified, the carrying amount of the investment is reduced, with the related impairment loss recognized in earnings.
 
    When the Company subscribes for additional investee’s shares at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment in the investee differs from the amount of the Company’s share of the investee’s equity. The Company records such a difference as an adjustment to long-term investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus.
 
    Gains or losses on sales from the Company to equity method investees are deferred in proportion to the Company’s ownership percentages in the investees until such gains or losses are realized through transactions with third parties. The entire amount of the gains or losses on sales to investees over which the Company has a controlling interest is deferred until such gains or losses are realized through subsequent sales of the related products to third parties. Gains or losses on sales from equity method investees to the Company are deferred in proportion to the Company’s ownership percentages in the investees until they are realized through transactions with third parties. Gains or losses on sales between equity method investees over each of which the Company has control are deferred in proportion to the Company’s weighted-average ownership percentage in the investee which records gains or losses. In transactions between equity method investees over either or both of which the Company has no control, gains or losses on sales are

-12-


 

    deferred in proportion to the multiplication of the Company’s weighted-average ownership percentages in the investees. Such gains or losses are recorded until they are realized through transactions with third parties.
 
    If an investee’s functional currency is a foreign currency, differences will result from the translation of the investee’s financial statements into the reporting currency of the Company. Such differences are charged or credited to cumulative translation adjustments, a separate component of shareholders’ equity.
 
    Financial Assets Carried at Cost
 
    Investments for which the Company does not exercise significant influence and that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, such as non-publicly traded stocks and mutual funds, are carried at their original cost. The costs of non-publicly traded stocks and mutual funds are determined using the weighted-average method. If there is objective evidence which indicates that a financial asset is impaired, a loss is recognized. A subsequent reversal of such impairment loss is not allowed.
 
    Cash dividends are recognized as investment income upon resolution of shareholders of an investee but are accounted for as a reduction to the original cost of investment if such dividends are declared on the earnings of the investee attributable to the period prior to the purchase of the investment. Stock dividends are recorded as an increase in the number of shares held and do not affect investment income. The cost per share is recalculated based on the new total number of shares.
 
    Property, Plant and Equipment, Assets Leased to Others and Idle Assets
 
    Property, plant and equipment and assets leased to others are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. When an indication of impairment is identified, any excess of the carrying amount of an asset over its recoverable amount is recognized as a loss. If the recoverable amount increases in a subsequent period, the amount previously recognized as impairment would be reversed and recognized as a gain. However, the adjusted amount may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, as if no impairment loss had been recognized. Significant additions, renewals and betterments incurred during the construction period are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
 
    Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated service lives: buildings — 10 to 20 years; machinery and equipment — 5 years; and office equipment — 3 to 5 years.
 
    Upon sale or disposal of property, plant and equipment and assets leased to others, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are deducted from the corresponding accounts, with any gain or loss recorded as non-operating gains or losses in the year of sale or disposal.
 
    When property, plant and equipment are determined to be idle or useless, they are transferred to idle assets at the lower of the net realizable value or carrying amount. Depreciation on the idle assets is provided continuously, and the idle assets are tested for impairment on a periodical basis.
 
    Intangible Assets
 
    Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid for acquisition over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is no longer amortized and instead is tested for impairment annually. If an event occurs or circumstances change which indicate that the fair value of goodwill is more likely than not below its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. A subsequent reversal of such impairment loss is not allowed.

-13-


 

    Deferred charges consist of technology license fees, software and system design costs and other charges. The amounts are amortized over the following periods: Technology license fees — the shorter of the estimated life of the technology or the term of the technology transfer contract; software and system design costs and other charges — 3 years. When an indication of impairment is identified, any excess of the carrying amount of an asset over its recoverable amount is recognized as a loss. If the recoverable amount increases in a subsequent period, the previously recognized impairment loss would be reversed and recognized as a gain. However, the adjusted amount may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of amortization, as if no impairment loss had been recognized.
 
    Expenditures related to research activities and those related to development activities that do not meet the criteria for capitalization are charged to expenses when incurred.
 
    Pension Costs
 
    For employees who participate in defined contribution pension plans, pension costs are recorded based on the actual contributions made to employees’ individual pension accounts during their service periods. For employees who participate in defined benefit pension plans, pension costs are recorded based on actuarial calculations.
 
    Income Tax
 
    The Company applies an inter-period allocation for its income tax whereby deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax effects of temporary differences and unused tax credits. Valuation allowances are provided to the extent, if any, that it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be realized. A deferred tax asset or liability is classified as current or noncurrent in accordance with the classification of its related asset or liability. However, if a deferred tax asset or liability does not relate to an asset or liability in the financial statements, then it is classified as either current or noncurrent based on the expected length of time before it is realized or settled.
 
    Any tax credits arising from purchases of machinery, equipment and technology, research and development expenditures, personnel training expenditures, and investments in important technology-based enterprises are recognized using the flow-through method.
 
    Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.
 
    Income tax on unappropriated earnings at a rate of 10% is expensed in the year of shareholder approval which is the year subsequent to the year the earnings are generated.
 
    Stock-based Compensation
 
    Employee stock options that were granted or modified in the period from January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2007 are accounted for by the interpretations issued by the Accounting Research and Development Foundation of the Republic of China. The Company adopted the intrinsic value method and any compensation cost determined using this method is recognized in earnings over the employee vesting period. Employee stock option plans that were granted or modified after December 31, 2007 are accounted for using fair value method in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 39, “Accounting for Share-based Payment.” The Company did not grant or modify any employee stock options since January 1, 2008.
 
    Profit Sharing to Employees and Bonus to Directors
 
    Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Interpretation 2007-052, “Accounting for Bonuses to Employees, Directors and Supervisors,” which requires companies to record profit sharing to employees and bonus to directors as an expense rather than as an appropriation of earnings.

-14-


 

    Treasury Stock
 
    Treasury stock is stated at cost and shown as a deduction in shareholders’ equity. When the Company retires treasury stock, the treasury stock account is reduced and the common stock as well as the capital surplus — additional paid-in capital are reversed on a pro rata basis. When the book value of the treasury stock exceeds the sum of the par value and additional paid-in capital, the difference is charged to capital surplus — treasury stock transactions and to retained earnings for any remaining amount.
 
    The Company’s stock held by its subsidiaries is treated as treasury stock and reclassified from investments accounted for using equity method to treasury stock. The gains resulted from disposal of the treasury stock held by subsidiaries and cash dividends received by subsidiaries from the Company are recorded under capital surplus — treasury stock transactions.
 
    Foreign-currency Transactions
 
    Foreign-currency transactions other than derivative contracts are recorded in New Taiwan dollars at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occur. Exchange gains or losses derived from foreign-currency transactions or monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in earnings.
 
    At the balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are revalued at prevailing exchange rates with the resulting gains or losses recognized in earnings.
 
3.   ACCOUNTING CHANGES
 
    Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the newly revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 10, “Accounting for Inventories.” The main revisions are (1) inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and inventories are written down to net realizable value on an item-by-item basis except when the grouping of similar or related items is appropriate; (2) unallocated overheads are recognized as expenses in the year in which they are incurred; and (3) abnormal cost, write-downs of inventories and any reversal of write-downs are recorded as cost of sales for the year. Such changes in accounting principle did not have significant effect on the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
    Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Interpretation 2007-052, “Accounting for Bonuses to Employees, Directors and Supervisors,” issued in March 2007 by the ARDF, which requires companies to record profit sharing to employees and bonus to directors and supervisors as an expense rather than as an appropriation of earnings. The adoption of this interpretation resulted in a decrease in net income and earnings per share (after income tax and retroactively adjusted for the issuance of stock dividend) of NT$12,627,332 thousand and NT$0.48, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2008.
 
    Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 39, “Accounting for Share-based Payment,” which requires companies to record share-based payment transactions in the financial statements at fair value. Such a change in accounting principle did not have any effect on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008.

    TSMC Partners and TSMC International were both 100% owned subsidiaries of the Company. To simplify the organization structure of investment, TSMC Partners merged TSMC International in June 2009.
 
    Chi Cherng and Hsin Ruey, both 100% owned subsidiaries of the Company, were engaged in investing activities. To simplify the organization structure of investment, the Company merged Chi Cherng and Hsin Ruey into the Company in the third quarter of 2008.
 
    For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, equity in earnings/losses of equity method investees was a net loss of NT$2,695,720 thousand and a net gain of NT$72,568 thousand, respectively. Related equity in earnings/losses of equity method investees were determined based on the audited financial statements, except those of TSMC Japan, TSMC Europe and TSMC Korea for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Company believes that, had TSMC Japan, TSMC Europe and TSMC Korea’s financial statements been audited, any adjustments arising would have had no material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Capital surplus can only be used to offset a deficit under the Company Law. However, the capital surplus generated from donations and the excess of the issuance price over the par value of capital stock (including the stock issued for new capital, mergers, convertible bonds and the surplus from treasury stock transactions) may be appropriated as stock dividends, which are limited to a certain percentage of the Company’s paid-in capital. In addition, the capital surplus from long-term investments may not be used for any purpose.
Capital surplus consisted of the following:
                 
    December 31  
    2009     2008  
 
               
Additional paid-in capital
  $ 23,457,805     $ 17,962,468

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation provide that, when allocating the net profits for each fiscal year, the Company shall first offset its losses in previous years and then set aside the following items accordingly:
  a.   Legal capital reserve at 10% of the profits left over, until the accumulated legal capital reserve equals the Company’s paid-in capital;
 
  b.   Special capital reserve in accordance with relevant laws or regulations or as requested by the authorities in charge;
 
  c.   Bonus to directors and profit sharing to employees of the Company of not more than 0.3% and not less than 1% of the remainder, respectively. Directors who also serve as executive officers of the Company are not entitled to receive the bonus to directors. The Company may issue profit sharing to employees in stock of an affiliated company meeting the conditions set by the Board of Directors or, by the person duly authorized by the Board of Directors;
 
  d.   Any balance left over shall be allocated according to the resolution of the shareholders’ meeting.
The Company’s Articles of Incorporation also provide that profits of the Company may be distributed by way of cash dividend and/or stock dividend. However, distribution of profits shall be made preferably by way of cash dividend. Distribution of profits may also be made by way of stock dividend; provided that the ratio for stock dividend shall not exceed 50% of the total distribution.
Any appropriations of the profits are subject to shareholder’s approval in the following year.
The Company has recorded profit sharing to employees as a charge to earnings of approximately 7.5% and 15% of net income for the years ended December 2009 and 2008, respectively; bonuses to directors were accrued with an estimate based on historical experience. If the actual amounts subsequently resolved by the shareholders differ from the estimated amounts, the differences are recorded in the year of shareholders’ resolution as a change in accounting estimate. If profit sharing is resolved to be distributed to employees in stock, the number of shares is determined by dividing the amount of profit sharing by the closing price (after considering the effect of dividends) of the shares on the day preceding the shareholders’ meeting.
The Company no longer has supervisors since January 1, 2007. The required duties of supervisors are being fulfilled by the Audit Committee.

The appropriation for legal capital reserve shall be made until the reserve equals the Company’s paid-in capital. The reserve may be used to offset a deficit, or be distributed as dividends and bonuses for the portion in excess of 50% of the paid-in capital if the Company has no unappropriated earnings and the reserve balance has exceeded 50% of the Company’s paid-in capital. The Company Law also prescribes that, when the reserve has reached 50% of the Company’s paid-in capital, up to 50% of the reserve may be transferred to capital.
A special capital reserve equivalent to the net debit balance of the other components of shareholders’ equity (for example, cumulative translation adjustments and unrealized loss on financial instruments, but excluding treasury stock) shall be made from unappropriated earnings pursuant to existing regulations promulgated by the Securities and Futures Bureau (SFB). Any special reserve appropriated may be reversed to the extent that the net debit balance reverses.
The appropriations of earnings for 2008 and 2007 had been approved in the shareholders’ meetings held on June 10, 2009 and June 13, 2008, respectively. The appropriations and dividends per share were as follows:

The profit sharing to employee in stock of 141,870 thousand shares was determined by the closing price of the Company’s common shares (after considering the effect of dividends) of the day immediately preceding the shareholders’ meeting, which was NT$52.83. The resolved amounts of the profit sharing to employees and bonus to directors were consistent with the resolutions of meeting of the Board of Directors held on February 10, 2009 and same amount had been charged against earnings of 2008.
The shareholders’ meeting held on June 10, 2009 also resolved to distribute stock dividends out of capital surplus, and stock dividends to shareholders as well as profit sharing to employees to be paid in stock in the amount of NT$768,763 thousand, NT$512,509 thousand and NT$7,494,988 thousand, respectively. The aforementioned capital increase had taken effect on July 21, 2009.
As of January 22, 2010, the Board of Directors has not resolved the appropriation for earnings of 2009.
The information about the appropriations of profit sharing to employees and bonus to directors is available at the Market Observation Post System website.
Under the Integrated Income Tax System that became effective on January 1, 1998, R.O.C. resident shareholders are allowed a tax credit for their proportionate share of the income tax paid by the Company on earnings generated since January 1, 1998.

    As discussed in Note 3, effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Interpretation 2007-052 that requires companies to record profit sharing to employees as an expense rather than as an appropriation of earnings. If the Company may settle the obligation by cash, by issuing shares, or in combination of both cash and shares, profit sharing to employees which will be settled in shares should be included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding in calculation of diluted EPS, if the shares have a dilutive effect. The number of shares is estimated by dividing the amount of profit sharing to employees in stock by the closing price (after considering the dilutive effect of dividends) of the common shares on the balance sheet date. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares needs to be included in the calculation of diluted EPS until the shares of profit sharing to employees are resolved in the shareholders’ meeting in the following year.
 
    The average number of shares outstanding for EPS calculation has been retroactively adjusted for the issuance of stock dividends. This adjustment caused both of the basic and diluted after income tax EPS for the year ended December 31, 2008 to decrease from NT$3.86 to NT$3.84 and NT$3.83 to NT$3.81, respectively.

  b.   Methods and assumptions used in the estimation of fair values of financial instruments
  1)   The aforementioned financial instruments do not include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, other financial assets, refundable deposits, payables and guarantee deposits. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.
 
  2)   Except for derivatives and structured time deposits, fair values of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity financial assets were based on their quoted market prices.
 
  3)   The fair values of those derivatives and structured time deposits are determined using valuation techniques incorporating estimates and assumptions that were consistent with prevailing market conditions.
 
  4)   Fair value of the bonds payable was based on their quoted market price.
 
  5)   Fair value of other long-term payables was based on the present value of expected cash flows, which approximates their carrying amount.

-31-


 

  c.   The changes in fair value of derivatives contracts which were outstanding as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 estimated using valuation techniques were recognized as net gains of NT$181,743 thousand and net losses of NT$41,158 thousand, respectively.
 
  d.   As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, financial assets exposed to fair value interest rate risk were NT$23,392,313 thousand and NT$19,718,442 thousand, respectively and financial liabilities exposed to fair value interest rate risk were NT$4,500,000 thousand and NT$12,583,618 thousand, respectively.
 
  e.   Movements of the unrealized gains or losses on financial instruments for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

  f.   Information about financial risks
  1)   Market risk. The derivative financial instruments categorized as financial assets/liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are mainly used to hedge the exchange rate fluctuations of foreign-currency assets and liabilities; therefore, the market risk of derivatives will be offset by the foreign exchange risk of these hedged items. Available-for-sale financial assets and held-to-maturity financial assets held by the Company are mainly fixed-interest-rate debt securities; therefore, the fluctuations in market interest rates will result in changes in fair values of these debt securities. Subject to turmoil in the global financial market, the Company had evaluated its financial instruments and the Company believed the exposure to market risk as of December 31, 2009 was not significant.

-32-


 

  2)   Credit risk. Credit risk represents the potential loss that would be incurred by the Company if the counter-parties or third-parties breached contracts. Financial instruments with positive fair values at the balance sheet date are evaluated for credit risk. Subject to turmoil in the global financial market, the Company evaluated whether the financial instruments for any possible counter-party or third-parties are reputable financial institutions, business enterprises, and government agencies and accordingly, the Company believed that the Company’s exposure to credit risk as of December 31, 2009 was not significant.
 
  3)   Liquidity risk. The Company has sufficient operating capital to meet cash needs upon settlement of derivative financial instruments and bonds payable. Therefore, the liquidity risk is low.
 
  4)   Cash flow interest rate risk. The Company mainly invests in fixed-interest-rate debt securities. Therefore, cash flows are not expected to fluctuate significantly due to changes in market interest rates.

27.   SIGNIFICANT COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
    Significant commitments and contingencies of the Company as of December 31, 2009, excluding those disclosed in other notes, were as follows:
  a.   Under a technical cooperation agreement with ITRI, the R.O.C. Government or its designee approved by the Company can use up to 35% of the Company’s capacity if the Company’s outstanding commitments to its customers are not prejudiced. The term of this agreement is for five years beginning from January 1, 1987 and is automatically renewed for successive periods of five years unless otherwise terminated by either party with one year prior notice.
 
  b.   Under several foundry agreements, the Company shall reserve a portion of its production capacity for certain major customers that have guarantee deposits with the Company. As of December 31, 2009 the Company had a total of US$29,582 thousand of guarantee deposits.
 
  c.   Under a Shareholders Agreement entered into with Philips and EDB Investments Pte Ltd. on March 30, 1999, the parties formed a joint venture company, SSMC, which is an integrated circuit foundry in Singapore. The Company’s equity interest in SSMC was 32%. Nevertheless, Philips parted with its semiconductor company which was renamed as NXP B.V. in September 2006. The Company and NXP B.V. purchased all the SSMC shares owned by EDB Investments Pte Ltd. pro rata according to the Shareholders Agreement on November 15, 2006. After the purchase, the Company and NXP B.V. currently own approximately 39% and 61% of the SSMC shares respectively. The Company and Philips (now NXP B.V.) are required, in the aggregate, to purchase at least 70% of SSMC’s capacity, but the Company alone is not required to purchase more than 28% of the capacity. If any party defaults on the commitment and the capacity utilization of SSMC fall below a specific percentage of its capacity, the defaulting party is required to compensate SSMC for all related unavoidable costs.
 
  d.   The Company provides technical services to SSMC under a Technical Cooperation Agreement (the Agreement) effective March 30, 1999. The Company receives compensation for such services computed at a specific percentage of net selling price of all products sold by SSMC. The Agreement shall remain in force for ten years and will be automatically renewed for successive periods of five years each unless pre-terminated by either party under certain conditions.
 
  e.   The Company provides a technology transfer to VIS under a Manufacturing License and Technology Transfer Agreement entered into on April 1, 2004. The Company receives compensation for such technology transfer in the form of royalty payments from VIS computed at specific percentages of net selling price of certain products sold by VIS. VIS agreed to reserve its certain capacity to manufacture for the Company certain products at prices as agreed by the parties.
 
  f.   TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech filed a series of lawsuits in late 2003 and 2004 against Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation, SMIC (Shanghai) and SMIC Americas (aggregately referring to as “SMIC”). The lawsuits alleged that SMIC infringed multiple TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech patents and misappropriated TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech’s trade secrets. These suits were settled out of court on January 30, 2005. As part of the settlement, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation shall pay US$175 million over six years to resolve TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech’s claims. As of December 31, 2009, SMIC had paid US$135 million in accordance with the terms of this settlement agreement. In August 2006, TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech filed a lawsuit against SMIC in Alameda County Superior Court in California for breach of aforementioned settlement agreement, breach of promissory notes and trade secret misappropriation, seeking injunctive relief and monetary damages. In September 2006, SMIC filed a cross-complaint against TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech in the same court, alleging TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech of breach of the settlement agreement and implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, in response to TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech’s August complaint. In November 2006, SMIC filed a complaint with Beijing People’s High Court against TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech alleging defamation and breach of good faith. The California State Superior Court of Alameda County issued an Order on

-37-


 

      TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech’s pre-trial motion for a preliminary injunction against SMIC on September 7, 2007. In the Order, the Court found “TSMC has demonstrated a significant likelihood that it will ultimately prevail on the merits of its claim for breach of certain paragraphs of the (2005) Settlement Agreement” with SMIC. The Court also found “TSMC has demonstrated a significant probability of establishing that SMIC retains and is using TSMC Information in SMIC’s 0.13um and smaller technologies, and there is significant threat of serious irreparable harm to TSMC if SMIC were to disclose or transfer that information before final resolution of the case.” Therefore, the Court ordered that, effective immediately, SMIC must provide advance notice and an opportunity for TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech to object before disclosing items enumerated in the Court Order to SMIC’s third party partners. The Court, however, did not grant a preliminary injunction as requested by TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech. In January 2009, the court in the California action held a four-day bench trial to determine whether a Settlement Agreement existed between the parties, and if there were an agreement, the interpretation of certain terms. SMIC contended that there was no binding Settlement Agreement, and TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech contended that the Settlement Agreement signed on January 30, 2005 and finalized shortly thereafter and repeatedly ratified bound the parties. On March 10, 2009, the Court issued its Statement of Decision. The Court rejected SMIC’s contention, and found that the parties were bound by the Settlement Agreement identified by TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech. The Court also interpreted the meaning of certain provisions within the Settlement Agreement. Regarding the claims raised by SMIC in the Beijing lawsuit, the Beijing People’s High Court has on June 10, 2009 rejected those claims and dismissed the lawsuit. On November 4, 2009, after a two-month trial, a jury in the California action found SMIC to have both breached the 2005 settlement agreement and misappropriated TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech’s trade secrets. TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech have subsequently settled both lawsuits with SMIC. Pursuant to the new settlement agreement, the parties have agreed to the entry of a stipulated judgment in favor of TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech in the California action, and to the dismissal of SMIC’s appeal against the Beijing High Court’s finding in favor of TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech. Under the new settlement agreement and the related stipulated judgment, SMIC has agreed to make cash payments by installments to TSMC totaling US$200 million, which are in addition to the US$135 million previously paid to TSMC under the 2005 settlement agreement, and to provide TSMC with other valuable consideration.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Those rules and standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their consolidated operations and their consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.

    Use of Estimates
 
    The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with the aforementioned guidelines and principles requires management to make reasonable assumptions and estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. The actual results may differ from management’s estimates.
 
    Classification of Current and Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities
 
    Current assets are assets held for trading purposes and assets expected to be converted to cash, sold or consumed within one year from the balance sheet date. Current liabilities are obligations incurred for trading purposes and obligations expected to be settled within one year from the balance sheet date. Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are noncurrent assets and liabilities, respectively.
 
    Cash Equivalents
 
    Repurchase agreements collateralized by government bonds, agency bonds, corporate issued notes and corporate bonds acquired with maturities of less than three months from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. The carrying amount approximates fair value.
 
    Financial Assets/Liabilities at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss
 
    Derivatives that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting and financial assets acquired principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are initially recognized at fair value, with transaction costs expensed as incurred. The derivatives and financial assets are remeasured at fair value subsequently with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is accounted for using settlement date accounting.
 
    Fair value is determined as follows: Publicly traded stocks — closing prices at the end of the year; derivatives — using valuation techniques incorporating estimates and assumptions that are consistent with prevailing market conditions. When the fair value is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; when the fair value is negative, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.
 
    Available-for-sale Financial Assets
 
    Investments designated as available-for-sale financial assets include debt securities and equity securities. Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. Changes in fair value from subsequent remeasurement are reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. The corresponding accumulated gains or losses are recognized in earnings when the financial asset is derecognized from the balance sheet. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is accounted for using settlement date accounting.
 
    Fair value is determined as follows: open-end mutual funds and money market funds — net asset values at the end of the year; publicly traded stocks — closing prices at the end of the year; and other debt securities — average of bid and asked prices at the end of the year.
 
    Cash dividends are recognized as investment income upon resolution of shareholders of an investee but are accounted for as a reduction to the original cost of investment if such dividends are declared on the earnings of the investee attributable to the period prior to the purchase of the investment. Stock dividends are recorded as an increase in the number of shares held and do not affect investment income. The cost per share is recalculated based on the new total number of shares.
 
    Any difference between the initial carrying amount of a debt security and the amount due at maturity is amortized using the effective interest method, with the amortization recognized in earnings.

-14-


 

    If there is objective evidence which indicates that a financial asset is impaired, a loss is recognized. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases, for equity securities, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed to the extent of the decrease and recorded as an adjustment to shareholders’ equity; for debt securities, the amount of the decrease is recognized in earnings, provided that the decrease is clearly attributable to an event which occurred after the impairment loss was recognized.
 
    Held-to-maturity Financial Assets
 
    Debt securities for which the Company has a positive intention and ability to hold to maturity are categorized as held-to-maturity financial assets and are carried at amortized cost. Those financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. Gains or losses are recognized at the time of derecognition, impairment or amortization. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is accounted for using settlement date accounting.
 
    If there is objective evidence which indicates that a financial asset is impaired, a loss is recognized. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease is clearly attributable to an event which occurred after the impairment loss was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed to the extent of the decrease. The reversal may not result in a carrying amount that exceeds the amortized cost that would have been determined as if no impairment loss had been recognized.
 
    Allowance for Doubtful Receivables
 
    An allowance for doubtful receivables is provided based on a review of the collectability of receivables. The amount of the allowance for doubtful receivables is determined based on the account aging analysis and current trends in the credit quality of the customers. TSMC’s provision is set at 1% of the amount of outstanding receivables.
 
    Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Sales Returns and Others
 
    The Company recognizes revenue when evidence of an arrangement exists, the rewards of ownership and significant risk of the goods has been transferred to the buyer, price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Provisions for estimated sales returns and others are recorded in the year the related revenue is recognized, based on historical experience, management’s judgment, and any known factors that would significantly affect the allowance.
 
    Sales prices are determined using fair value taking into account related sales discounts agreed to by the Company and its customers. Sales agreements typically provide that payment is due 30 days from invoice date for a majority of the customers and 30 to 45 days after the end of the month in which sales occur for some customers. Since the receivables from sales are collectible within one year and such transactions are frequent, fair value of the receivables is equivalent to the nominal amount of the cash to be received.
 
    Inventories
 
    Inventories are recorded at standard cost and adjusted to approximate weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.
 
    Prior to January 1, 2009, inventories were stated at the lower of cost or market value. Any write-down was made on a total-inventory basis. Market value represented replacement cost for raw materials, supplies and spare parts and net realizable value for work in process and finished goods.
 
    As stated in Note 3, effective January 1, 2009, inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made on an item-by-item basis, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and necessary selling costs.

    Investments Accounted for Using Equity Method
 
    Investments in companies wherein the Company exercises significant influence over the operating and financial policy decisions are accounted for using the equity method. The Company’s share of the net income or net loss of an investee is recognized in the “equity in earnings/losses of equity method investees, net” account. The cost of an investment shall be analyzed and the cost of investment in excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired, representing goodwill, shall not be amortized. If the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the cost of investment, the excess shall be proportionately allocated as reductions to fair values of non-current assets (except for financial assets other than investments accounted for using the equity method and deferred income tax assets). When an indication of impairment is identified, the carrying amount of the investment is reduced, with the related impairment loss recognized in earnings.
 
    When the Company subscribes for additional investee’s shares at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment in the investee differs from the amount of the Company’s share of the investee’s equity. The Company records such a difference as an adjustment to long-term investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus.
 
    Gains or losses on sales from the Company to equity method investees or from equity method investees to the Company are deferred in proportion to the Company’s ownership percentages in the investees until such gains or losses are realized through transactions with third parties.
 
    If an investee’s functional currency is a foreign currency, differences will result from the translation of the investee’s financial statements into the reporting currency of the Company. Such differences are charged or credited to cumulative translation adjustments, a separate component of shareholders’ equity.
 
    Financial Assets Carried at Cost
 
    Investments for which the Company does not exercise significant influence and that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, such as non-publicly traded stocks and mutual funds, are carried at their original cost. The costs of non-publicly traded stocks and mutual funds are determined using the weighted-average method. If there is objective evidence which indicates that a financial asset is impaired, a loss is recognized. A subsequent reversal of such impairment loss is not allowed.
 
    The accounting treatment for cash dividends and stock dividends arising from financial assets carried at cost is the same as that for cash and stock dividends arising from available-for-sale financial assets.
 
    Property, Plant and Equipment, Assets Leased to Others and Idle Assets
 
    Property, plant and equipment and assets leased to others are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Properties covered by agreements qualifying as capital leases are carried at the lower of the leased equipment’s market value or the present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception date of the lease, with the corresponding amount recorded as obligations under capital leases. When an indication of impairment is identified, any excess of the carrying amount of an asset over its recoverable amount is recognized as a loss. If the recoverable amount increases in a subsequent period, the amount previously recognized as impairment would be reversed and recognized as a gain. However, the adjusted amount may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, as if no impairment loss had been recognized. Significant additions, renewals and betterments incurred during the construction period are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
 
    Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated service lives: land improvements — 20 years; buildings — 10 to 20 years; machinery and equipment — 3 to 5 years; office equipment — 3 to 15 years; and leased assets — 20 years.

-16-


 

    Upon sale or disposal of property, plant and equipment and assets leased to others, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are deducted from the corresponding accounts, with any gain or loss recorded as non-operating gains or losses in the year of sale or disposal.
 
    When property, plant and equipment are determined to be idle or useless, they are transferred to idle assets at the lower of the net realizable value or carrying amount. Depreciation on the idle assets is provided continuously, and the idle assets are tested for impairment on a periodical basis.
 
    Intangible Assets
 
    Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid for acquisition over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is no longer amortized and instead is tested for impairment annually. If an event occurs or circumstances change which indicate that the fair value of goodwill is more likely than not below its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. A subsequent reversal of such impairment loss is not allowed.
 
    Deferred charges consist of technology license fees, software and system design costs and other charges. The amounts are amortized over the following periods: Technology license fees — the shorter of the estimated life of the technology or the term of the technology transfer contract; software and system design costs and other charges — 2 to 5 years. When an indication of impairment is identified, any excess of the carrying amount of an asset over its recoverable amount is recognized as a loss. If the recoverable amount increases in a subsequent period, the previously recognized impairment loss would be reversed and recognized as a gain. However, the adjusted amount may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of amortization, as if no impairment loss had been recognized.
 
    Expenditures related to research activities and those related to development activities that do not meet the criteria for capitalization are charged to expenses when incurred.
 
    Pension Costs
 
    For employees who participate in defined contribution pension plans, pension costs are recorded based on the actual contributions made to employees’ individual pension accounts during their service periods. For employees who participate in defined benefit pension plans, pension costs are recorded based on actuarial calculations.
 
    Income Tax
 
    The Company applies an inter-period allocation for its income tax whereby deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax effects of temporary differences, net operating loss carryforwards and unused tax credits. Valuation allowances are provided to the extent, if any, that it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be realized. A deferred tax asset or liability is classified as current or noncurrent in accordance with the classification of its related asset or liability. However, if a deferred tax asset or liability does not relate to an asset or liability in the financial statements, then it is classified as either current or noncurrent based on the expected length of time before it is realized or settled.
 
    Any tax credits arising from purchases of machinery, equipment and technology, research and development expenditures, personnel training expenditures, and investments in important technology-based enterprises are recognized using the flow-through method.
 
    Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.
 
    Income tax on unappropriated earnings (excluding earnings from foreign consolidated subsidiaries) at a rate of 10% is expensed in the year of shareholder approval which is the year subsequent to the year the earnings are generated.

    Stock-based Compensation
 
    Employee stock options that were granted or modified in the period from January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2007 are accounted for by the interpretations issued by the Accounting Research and Development Foundation of the Republic of China. The Company adopted the intrinsic value method and any compensation cost determined using this method is recognized in earnings over the employee vesting period. Employee stock option plans that were granted or modified after December 31, 2007 are accounted for using fair value method in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 39, “Accounting for Share-based Payment.” The Company did not grant or modify any employee stock options since January 1, 2008.
 
    Profit Sharing to Employees and Bonus to Directors and Supervisors
 
    Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Interpretation 2007-052, “Accounting for Bonuses to Employees, Directors and Supervisors,” which requires companies to record profit sharing to employees and bonus to directors and supervisors as an expense rather than as an appropriation of earnings.
 
    Treasury Stock
 
    Treasury stock is stated at cost and shown as a deduction in shareholders’ equity. When TSMC retires treasury stock, the treasury stock account is reduced and the common stock as well as the capital surplus — additional paid-in capital are reversed on a pro rata basis. When the book value of the treasury stock exceeds the sum of the par value and additional paid-in capital, the difference is charged to capital surplus — treasury stock transactions and to retained earnings for any remaining amount.
 
    TSMC’s stock held by its subsidiaries is treated as treasury stock and reclassified from investments accounted for using equity method to treasury stock. The gains resulted from disposal of the treasury stock held by subsidiaries and cash dividends received by subsidiaries from TSMC are recorded under capital surplus — treasury stock transactions.
 
    Foreign-currency Transactions
 
    Foreign-currency transactions other than derivative contracts are recorded in New Taiwan dollars at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occur. Exchange gains or losses derived from foreign-currency transactions or monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in earnings.
 
    At the balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are revalued at prevailing exchange rates with the resulting gains or losses recognized in earnings.
 
    Translation of Foreign-currency Financial Statements
 
    The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the following exchange rates: Assets and liabilities — spot rates at year-end; shareholders’ equity — historical rates; income and expenses — average rates during the year. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

3.   ACCOUNTING CHANGES
 
    Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the newly revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 10, “Accounting for Inventories.” The main revisions are (1) inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and inventories are written down to net realizable value on an item-by-item basis except when the grouping of similar or related items is appropriate; (2) unallocated overheads are recognized as expenses in the year in which they are incurred; and (3) abnormal cost, write-downs of inventories and any reversal of write-downs are recorded as cost of sales for the year. Such a change in accounting principle did not have significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
    Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Interpretation 2007-052, “Accounting for Bonuses to Employees, Directors and Supervisors,” issued in March 2007 by the ARDF, which requires companies to record profit sharing to employees and bonus to directors and supervisors as an expense rather than as an appropriation of earnings. The adoption of this interpretation resulted in a decrease in net income and earnings per share (after income tax and retroactively adjusted for the issuance of stock dividend) of NT$12,827,595 thousand and NT$0.49, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2008.
 
    Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 39, “Accounting for Share-based Payment,” which requires companies to record share-based payment transactions in the financial statements at fair value. Such a change in accounting principle did not have any effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The Company will subscribe through a private placement for new shares of Motech Industries Inc. (“Motech”) under a Share Subscription Agreement entered into on December 9, 2009. The total consideration is approximately NT$6.2 billion (US$193 million). After the subscription of shares, the Company will own 20% of the Motech shares. The transaction is still subject to Motech’s shareholders’ approval and regulatory approval.
In September 2009, the Company acquired common stock and preferred stock of Mcube for NT$57,960 thousand. The Company took both ownership of stock and controlling power into consideration and concluded that the Company did not have controlling interest over Mcube. Accordingly, the Company applied equity method to account for this investment and the related equity in earnings/losses.
For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, equity in earnings/losses of equity method investees was net gain of NT$45,994 thousand and NT$701,533 thousand, respectively. Related equity in earnings/losses of equity method investees were determined based on the audited financial statements, except for Mcube for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Company believes that, had Mcube’s financial statements been audited, any adjustments arising would have had no material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, fair values of publicly traded stocks in investments accounted for using equity method (VIS) were NT$10,114,398 thousand and NT$4,680,264 thousand, respectively.

As of December 31, 2009, Xintec was in compliance with all such financial covenants.

    The pension mechanism under the Labor Pension Act is deemed a defined contribution plan. Pursuant to the Act, TSMC, GUC, Xintec and Mutual-Pak have made monthly contributions equal to 6% of each employee’s monthly salary to employees’ pension accounts. Furthermore, TSMC North America, TSMC China, TSMC Europe and TSMC Canada are required by local regulations to make monthly contributions at certain percentages of the basic salary of their employees. Pursuant to the aforementioned Act and local regulations, the Company recognized pension costs of NT$748,071 thousand and NT$779,612 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
    TSMC, GUC and Xintec have defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law that provide benefits based on an employee’s service years and average monthly salary for the six-month period prior to retirement. The aforementioned companies contribute an amount equal to 2% of salaries paid each month to their respective pension funds (the Funds), which are administered by the Labor Pension Fund Supervisory Committee (the Committee) and deposited in the name of the committees in the Bank of Taiwan.

    Capital surplus can only be used to offset a deficit under the Company Law. However, the capital surplus generated from donations and the excess of the issuance price over the par value of capital stock (including the stock issued for new capital, mergers, convertible bonds and the surplus from treasury stock transactions) may be appropriated as stock dividends, which are limited to a certain percentage of TSMC’s paid-in capital. Also, the capital surplus from long-term investment may not be used for any purpose.

-31-


 

    Capital surplus consisted of the following:
                 
    December 31  
    2009     2008

    TSMC’s Articles of Incorporation provide that, when allocating the net profits for each fiscal year, TSMC shall first offset its losses in previous years and then set aside the following items accordingly:
  a.   Legal capital reserve at 10% of the profits left over, until the accumulated legal capital reserve equals TSMC’s paid-in capital;
 
  b.   Special capital reserve in accordance with relevant laws or regulations or as requested by the authorities in charge;
 
  c.   Bonus to directors and profit sharing to employees of TSMC of not more than 0.3% and not less than 1% of the remainder, respectively. Directors who also serve as executive officers of TSMC are not entitled to receive the bonus to directors. TSMC may issue profit sharing to employees in stock of an affiliated company meeting the conditions set by the Board of Directors or, by the person duly authorized by the Board of Directors;
 
  d.   Any balance left over shall be allocated according to the resolution of the shareholders’ meeting.
    TSMC’s Articles of Incorporation also provide that profits of TSMC may be distributed by way of cash dividend and/or stock dividend. However, distribution of profits shall be made preferably by way of cash dividend. Distribution of profits may also be made by way of stock dividend; provided that the ratio for stock dividend shall not exceed 50% of the total distribution.
 
    Any appropriations of the profits are subject to shareholders’ approval in the following year.
 
    TSMC has recorded profit sharing to employees as a charge to earnings of approximately 7.5% and 15% of net income for the years ended December 2009 and 2008, respectively; bonuses to directors were accrued with an estimate based on historical experience. If the actual amounts subsequently resolved by the shareholders differ from the estimated amounts, the differences are recorded in the year of shareholders’ resolution as a change in accounting estimate. If profit sharing is resolved to be distributed to employees in stock, the number of shares is determined by dividing the amount of profit sharing by the closing price (after considering the effect of dividends) of the shares on the day preceding the shareholders’ meeting.
 
    TSMC no longer has supervisors since January 1, 2007. The required duties of supervisors are being fulfilled by the Audit Committee.
 
    The appropriation for legal capital reserve shall be made until the reserve equals TSMC’s paid-in capital. The reserve may be used to offset a deficit, or be distributed as dividends and bonuses for the portion in excess of 50% of the paid-in capital if TSMC has no unappropriated earnings and the reserve balance has exceeded 50% of TSMC’s paid-in capital. The Company Law also prescribes that, when the reserve has reached 50% of TSMC’s paid-in capital, up to 50% of the reserve may be transferred to capital.

-32-


 

    A special capital reserve equivalent to the net debit balance of the other components of shareholders’ equity (for example, cumulative translation adjustments and unrealized loss on financial instruments, but excluding treasury stock) shall be made from unappropriated earnings pursuant to existing regulations promulgated by the Securities and Futures Bureau (SFB). Any special reserve appropriated may be reversed to the extent that the net debit balance reverses.
 
    The appropriations of earnings for 2008 and 2007 had been approved in the TSMC’s shareholders meetings held on June 10, 2009 and June 13, 2008, respectively. The appropriations and dividends per share were as follows:

    TSMC’s profit sharing to employees that have been paid in cash and in stock as well as bonus to directors in the amounts of NT$7,494,988 thousand, NT$7,494,988 thousand and NT$158,080 thousand for 2008, respectively, had been approved in the shareholders’ meeting held on June 10, 2009. The profit sharing to employee in stock of 141,870 thousand shares was determined by the closing price of TSMC’s common shares (after considering the effect of dividends) of the day immediately preceding the shareholders’ meeting, which was NT$52.83. The resolved amounts of the profit sharing to employees and bonus to directors were consistent with the resolutions of meeting of the Board of Directors held on February 10, 2009 and same amount had been charged against earnings of 2008.
 
    TSMC’s shareholders meeting held on June 10, 2009 also resolved to distribute stock dividends out of capital surplus, and stock dividends to shareholders as well as profit sharing to employees to be paid in stock in the amount of NT$768,763 thousand, NT$512,509 thousand and NT$7,494,988 thousand, respectively. The aforementioned capital increase had taken effect on July 21, 2009.
 
    As of January 22, 2010, the Board of Directors of TSMC has not resolved the appropriation for earnings of 2009.
 
    The information about the appropriations of profit sharing to employees and bonus to directors is available at the Market Observation Post System website.
 
    Under the Integrated Income Tax System that became effective on January 1, 1998, R.O.C. resident shareholders are allowed a tax credit for their proportionate share of the income tax paid by TSMC on earnings generated since January 1, 1998.

(Concluded)
    As discussed in Note 3, effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Interpretation 2007-052 that requires companies to record profit sharing to employees as an expense rather than as an appropriation of earnings. If the Company may settle the obligation by cash, by issuing shares, or in combination of both cash and shares, profit sharing to employees which will be settled in shares should be included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding in calculation of diluted EPS, if the shares have a dilutive effect. The number of shares is estimated by dividing the amount of profit sharing to employees in stock by the closing price (after considering the dilutive effect of dividends) of the common shares on the balance sheet date. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares needs to be included in the calculation of diluted EPS until the shares of profit sharing to employees are resolved in the shareholders’ meeting in the following year.
 
    The average number of shares outstanding for EPS calculation has been retroactively adjusted for the issuance of stock dividends. This adjustment caused each the basic and diluted after income tax EPS for the year ended December 31, 2008 to decrease from NT$3.86 to NT$3.84 and NT$3.83 to NT$3.81, respectively.

-39-


 

  b.   Methods and assumptions used in estimating fair values of financial instruments
  1)   The aforementioned financial instruments do not include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, other financial assets, refundable deposits, payables and guarantee deposits. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.
 
  2)   Except for derivatives and structured time deposits, fair values of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity financial assets were based on their quoted market prices.
 
  3)   The fair values of those derivatives and structured time deposits are determined using valuation techniques incorporating estimates and assumptions that were consistent with prevailing market conditions.
 
  4)   Fair value of the bonds payable was based on their quoted market price.
 
  5)   Fair values of long-term bank loans, other long-term payables and obligations under capital leases were based on the present value of expected cash flows, which approximate their carrying amounts.
  c.   The changes in fair value of derivatives contracts which were outstanding as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 estimated using valuation techniques were recognized as net gains of NT$186,056 thousand and net losses of NT$42,715 thousand, respectively.
 
  d.   As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, financial assets exposed to fair value interest rate risk were NT$40,857,296 thousand and NT$34,002,159 thousand, respectively; financial liabilities exposed to fair value interest rate risk were NT$4,500,025 thousand and NT$12,585,187 thousand, respectively, and financial liabilities exposed to cash flow interest rate risk were NT$1,527,858 thousand and NT$1,642,874 thousand, respectively.
 
  e.   Movements of the unrealized gains or losses on financial instruments for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

  f.   Information about financial risk
  1)   Market risk. The publicly traded stocks categorized as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are exposed to market price fluctuations. The derivative financial instruments categorized as financial assets/liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are mainly used to hedge the exchange rate fluctuations of foreign-currency assets and liabilities; therefore, the market risk of derivatives will be offset by the foreign exchange risk of these hedged items. Available-for-sale financial assets and held-to-maturity financial assets held by the Company are mainly fixed-interest-rate debt securities; therefore, the fluctuations in market interest rates would result in changes in fair value of these debt securities. Subject to turmoil in the global financial market, the Company evaluated its financial assets and determined that certain impairment for its asset-backed securities is other-than-temporary. The Company had appropriately recognized related impairment losses.
 
  2)   Credit risk. Credit risk represents the potential loss that would be incurred by the Company if the counter-parties or third-parties breached contracts. Financial instruments with positive fair values at the balance sheet date are evaluated for credit risk. Subject to turmoil in the global financial market, the Company evaluated the financial instruments for any possible counter-party or third-party default. As a result of the evaluation, the Company determined that certain financial instruments are exposed to credit risk and had appropriately recognized related impairment losses.
 
  3)   Liquidity risk. The Company has sufficient operating capital to meet cash needs upon settlement of derivative financial instruments, bonds payable and bank loans. Therefore, the liquidity risk is low.
 
  4)   Cash flow interest rate risk. The Company mainly invests in fixed-interest-rate debt securities. Therefore, cash flows are not expected to fluctuate significantly due to changes in market interest rates. The Company’s long-term bank loans were floating-rate loans. Therefore, changes in the market interest rates will result in changes in the effective rate of the long-term bank loans, which will affect future cash flows.

28.   SIGNIFICANT COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
    Significant commitments and contingencies of the Company as of December 31, 2009, excluding those disclosed in other notes, were as follows:
  a.   Under a technical cooperation agreement with ITRI, the R.O.C. Government or its designee approved by TSMC can use up to 35% of TSMC’s capacity if TSMC’s outstanding commitments to its customers are not prejudiced. The term of this agreement is for five years beginning from January 1, 1987 and is automatically renewed for successive periods of five years unless otherwise terminated by either party with one year prior notice.
 
  b.   Under several foundry agreements, TSMC shall reserve a portion of its production capacity for certain major customers that have guarantee deposits with TSMC. As of December 31, 2009 TSMC had a total of US$29,582 thousand of guarantee deposits.

-44-


 

  c.   Under a Shareholders Agreement entered into with Philips and EDB Investments Pte Ltd. on March 30, 1999, the parties formed a joint venture company, SSMC, which is an integrated circuit foundry in Singapore. TSMC’s equity interest in SSMC was 32%. Nevertheless, Philips parted with its semiconductor company which was renamed as NXP B.V. in September 2006. TSMC and NXP B.V. purchased all the SSMC shares owned by EDB Investments Pte Ltd. pro rata according to the Shareholders Agreement on November 15, 2006. After the purchase, TSMC and NXP B.V. currently own approximately 39% and 61% of the SSMC shares respectively. TSMC and Philips (now NXP B.V.) are required, in the aggregate, to purchase at least 70% of SSMC’s capacity, but TSMC alone is not required to purchase more than 28% of the capacity. If any party defaults on the commitment and the capacity utilization of SSMC fall below a specific percentage of its capacity, the defaulting party is required to compensate SSMC for all related unavoidable costs.
 
  d.   TSMC provides technical services to SSMC under a Technical Cooperation Agreement (the Agreement) effective March 30, 1999. TSMC receives compensation for such services computed at a specific percentage of net selling price of all products sold by SSMC. The Agreement shall remain in force for ten years and will be automatically renewed for successive periods of five years each unless pre-terminated by either party under certain conditions.
 
  e.   TSMC provides a technology transfer to VIS under a Manufacturing License and Technology Transfer Agreement entered into on April 1, 2004. TSMC receives compensation for such technology transfer in the form of royalty payments from VIS computed at specific percentages of net selling price of certain products sold by VIS. VIS agreed to reserve its certain capacity to manufacture for TSMC certain products at prices as agreed by the parties.
 
  f.   TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech filed a series of lawsuits in late 2003 and 2004 against Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation, SMIC (Shanghai) and SMIC Americas (aggregately referring to as “SMIC”). The lawsuits alleged that SMIC infringed multiple TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech patents and misappropriated TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech’s trade secrets. These suits were settled out of court on January 30, 2005. As part of the settlement, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation shall pay US$175 million over six years to resolve TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech’s claims. As of December 31, 2009, SMIC had paid US$135 million in accordance with the terms of this settlement agreement. In August 2006, TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech filed a lawsuit against SMIC in Alameda County Superior Court in California for breach of aforementioned settlement agreement, breach of promissory notes and trade secret misappropriation, seeking injunctive relief and monetary damages. In September 2006, SMIC filed a cross-complaint against TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech in the same court, alleging TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech of breach of the settlement agreement and implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, in response to TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech’s August complaint. In November 2006, SMIC filed a complaint with Beijing People’s High Court against TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech alleging defamation and breach of good faith. The California State Superior Court of Alameda County issued an Order on TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech’s pre-trial motion for a preliminary injunction against SMIC on September 7, 2007. In the Order, the Court found “TSMC has demonstrated a significant likelihood that it will ultimately prevail on the merits of its claim for breach of certain paragraphs of the (2005) Settlement Agreement” with SMIC. The Court also found “TSMC has demonstrated a significant probability of establishing that SMIC retains and is using TSMC Information in SMIC’s 0.13um and smaller technologies, and there is significant threat of serious irreparable harm to TSMC if SMIC were to disclose or transfer that information before final resolution of the case.” Therefore, the Court ordered that, effective immediately, SMIC must provide advance notice and an opportunity for TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech to object before disclosing items enumerated in the Court Order to SMIC’s third party partners. The Court, however, did not grant a preliminary injunction as requested by TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech. In January 2009, the court in the California action held a four-day bench trial to determine whether a Settlement Agreement existed between the parties, and if there were an agreement, the interpretation of certain terms. SMIC contended that there was no binding Settlement Agreement, and TSMC, TSMC North America and

-45-


 

      WaferTech contended that the Settlement Agreement signed on January 30, 2005 and finalized shortly thereafter and repeatedly ratified bound the parties. On March 10, 2009, the Court issued its Statement of Decision. The Court rejected SMIC’s contention, and found that the parties were bound by the Settlement Agreement identified by TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech. The Court also interpreted the meaning of certain provisions within the Settlement Agreement. Regarding the claims raised by SMIC in the Beijing lawsuit, the Beijing People’s High Court has on June 10, 2009 rejected those claims and dismissed the lawsuit. On November 4, 2009, after a two-month trial, a jury in the California action found SMIC to have both breached the 2005 settlement agreement and misappropriated TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech’s trade secrets. TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech have subsequently settled both lawsuits with SMIC. Pursuant to the new settlement agreement, the parties have agreed to the entry of a stipulated judgment in favor of TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech in the California action, and to the dismissal of SMIC’s appeal against the Beijing High Court’s finding in favor of TSMC, TSMC North America and WaferTech. Under the new settlement agreement and the related stipulated judgment, SMIC has agreed to make cash payments by installments to TSMC totaling US$200 million, which are in addition to the US$135 million previously paid to TSMC under the 2005 settlement agreement, and to provide TSMC with other valuable consideration.
  g.   The Company entered into an agreement with a counterparty in 2003 whereby TSMC China is obligated to purchase certain property, plant and equipment at the agreed-upon price within the contract period. If the purchase is not completed, TSMC China is obligated to compensate the counterparty for the loss incurred. The property, plant and equipment have been in use by TSMC China since 2004 and are being depreciated over their estimated service lives. The related obligation totaled NT$8,355,395 thousand and NT$8,579,726 thousand as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, which is included in other long-term payables.
 
  h.   Amounts available under unused letters of credit as of December 31, 2009 were NT$16,155 thousand.
