Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2006 AND 2005
(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Specified Otherwise)

GENERAL

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (the Company or TSMC), a Republic of China (R.O.C.) corporation, was incorporated as a venture among the Government of the R.O.C., acting through the Development Fund of the Executive Yuan; Philips Electronics N.V. and certain of its affiliates (Philips); and certain other private investors. 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).

The Company is engaged mainly in the manufacturing, selling, packaging, testing and computer-aided designing of integrated circuits and other semiconductor devices and the manufacturing of masks.

As of June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company had 20,357 and 18,734 employees, respectively.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements are presented in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers 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 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 those expected to be converted to cash, sold or consumed within one year from the balance sheet date. Current liabilities are obligations expected to be due within one year from the balance sheet date. Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are noncurrent assets and liabilities, respectively.

- 9 -

Cash Equivalents

Repurchase agreements collateralized by government bonds, notes and treasury bills 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 are initially recognized at fair value, with transaction costs expensed as incurred. The derivatives are remeasured at fair value subsequently with the changes in fair value recognized in current income. 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

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. The 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 values for beneficiary certificates of open-end funds and publicly traded stocks are determined using the net assets value and the closing-price at the balance sheet date, respectively. For other debt securities, fair value is determined using the average of bid and asked prices at the balance sheet date.

Cash dividends are recognized as investment income upon resolution of shareholders of an investee but are accounted for as reductions to the original cost of investment if such dividends are declared on the earnings of the investees attributable to periods prior to the purchase of the investments. 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.

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 under the effective interest method. Those financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. Earnings 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.

- 10 -

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 of the financial asset 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 collectibility of accounts receivable. The Company determines the amount of allowance for doubtful receivables by examining the aging analysis of outstanding accounts receivable and current trends in the credit quality of its customers as well as its internal credit policies.

Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Sales Returns and Others

The Company recognizes revenue when evidence of an arrangement exists, shipment is made, price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenues from the design and manufacturing of photo masks, which are used as manufacturing tools in the fabrication process, are recognized when the photo masks are qualified by customers. Provisions for estimated sales returns and other allowances are generally recorded in the period 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 stated at the lower of cost or market value. Inventories are recorded at standard cost and adjusted to the approximate weighted-average cost at the balance sheet date. Market value represents replacement cost for raw materials, supplies and spare parts and net realizable value for work in process and finished goods. The Company assesses the impact of changing technology on its inventories on hand and writes off inventories that are considered obsolete. Period-end inventories are evaluated for estimated excess quantities and obsolescence based on a demand forecast within a specific time horizon, which is generally 180 days or less. Estimated losses on scrap and slow-moving items are recognized and included in the allowance for losses.

Financial Assets Carried at Cost

Investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are carried at their original cost, such as non-publicly traded stocks and mutual funds. The costs of funds and non-publicly traded stocks 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.

- 11 -

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 difference, if any, between the cost of investment and the Company’s proportionate share of the investee’s equity was previously amortized by the straight-line method over five years and was also recorded in the “equity in earnings/losses of equity method investees, net” account. Effective January 1, 2006, pursuant to the revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, “Long-term Investments in Equity Securities” (SFAS No. 5), investment premiums, representing goodwill, are no longer being amortized; while investment discounts continue to be amortized over the remaining periods. When an indication of impairment is identified, the carrying amount of the investment is reduced, with the related impairment loss charged to current income.

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 in the investee’s net 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 percentage 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 the 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 are deferred in proportion to the Company’s weighted-average 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, translation adjustments will result from the translation of the investee’s financial statements into the reporting currency of the Company. Such adjustments are accumulated and reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

Property, Plant, and Equipment and Assets Leased to Others

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 future 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, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are deducted from the corresponding accounts, with any gain or loss credited or charged to non-operating gains or losses in the period of sale or disposal.

- 12 -

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid for acquisition over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill was previously amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated life of 10 years. Effective January 1, 2006, pursuant to the newly revised SFAS No. 25, “Business Combinations — Accounting Treatment under Purchase Method” (SFAS No. 25), goodwill is no longer amortized and is assessed for impairment at least on an annual basis. If an event occurs or circumstances change which indicated that fair value of goodwill is more likely than not below its carrying amount, an impairment loss is charged to current income. A subsequent recovery in fair value of goodwill is not allowed.

Deferred Charges

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 future 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 amortization, as if no impairment loss had been recognized.

Pension Costs

For employees under defined contribution pension plans, pension costs are recorded based on the actual contributions made to employees’ individual pension accounts during service periods. For employees under defined benefit pension plans, pension costs are recorded based on actuarial calculations.

Income Tax

The Company applies intra-period and inter-period allocations for its income tax whereby (1) a portion of current income tax expense is allocated to the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles; and(2) 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, 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 period’s tax provision.

Income tax on unappropriated earnings of 10% is expensed in the year of shareholder approval which is the year subsequent to the year the earnings are generated.

The R.O.C. government enacted the Alternative Minimum Tax Act (“AMT Act”), which became effective on January 1, 2006. The alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) imposed under the AMT Act is a supplemental tax levied at a rate of 10% which is payable if the income tax payable determined pursuant to the Income Tax Law is below the minimum amount prescribed under the AMT Act. The taxable income for calculating the AMT includes most of the income that is exempted from income tax under various laws and statutes. The Company has considered the impact of the AMT Act in the determination of its tax liabilities.

- 13 -

Stock-based Compensation

Employee stock option plans that are amended or have options granted on or after January 1, 2004 are accounted for by the interpretations issued by the Accounting Research and Development Foundation. The Company adopted the intrinsic value method and any compensation cost determined using this method is charged to expense over the employee vesting period.

Treasury Stock

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 the subsidiaries and cash dividends received by the subsidiaries from the Company are recorded under capital surplus — treasury stock transactions.

Foreign-currency Transactions

Foreign-currency transactions 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 current income. At the balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are revalued at the prevailing exchange rates with the resulting gains or losses recognized in current income.

ACCOUNTING CHANGES

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the newly released Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 34, “Accounting for Financial Instruments” (SFAS No. 34) and No. 36, “Disclosure and Presentation for Financial Instruments” and related revisions of previously released SFASs.

	a.		Effect of adopting the newly released SFASs and related revisions of previously released SFASs

			The Company had properly categorized its financial assets and liabilities upon the initial adoption of the newly released SFASs. The adjustments made to the carrying amounts of the financial instruments categorized as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss were included in the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles; on the other hand, the adjustments made to the carrying amounts of those categorized as available-for-sale financial assets were recognized as adjustments to shareholders’ equity.

			The effect of adopting the newly released SFASs is summarized as follows:


	Recognized as
	Cumulative
	Effect of			Recognized as
	Changes in			a Separate
	Accounting			Component of
	Principles			Shareholders’
	(Net of Tax)			Equity
Financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss	$	(246,186	)	$	—
Available-for-sale financial assets		—			—


	$	(246,186	)	$	—

- 14 -

		The adoption of the newly released SFASs resulted in a decrease in net income before cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles of NT$31,267 thousand, a decrease in net income of NT$277,453 thousand, and a decrease in basic earnings per share (after income tax) of NT$0.01, for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

		Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the newly revised SFAS No. 5 and SFAS No. 25, which prescribe that investment premiums, representing goodwill, be assessed for impairment at least on an annual basis instead of being amortized. Such a change in accounting principle did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

b.		Reclassifications

		Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 34, certain accounts in the financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were reclassified to conform with the financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The previous issued financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2005 need not be restated.

		Certain accounting policies prior to the adoption of the newly released SFASs are summarized as follows:

	1)		Short-term investments

			Short-term investments that were publicly-traded, easily converted to cash, and not acquired for the purpose of controlling the investees or establishing close business relationship with the investees were carried at the lower of cost or market value at the balance sheet date, with any temporary decline in value charged to current income. The market value of publicly-traded stocks was determined using the average-closing prices for the last month of the period.

	2)		Derivative financial instruments

			The Company entered into forward exchange contracts to manage foreign exchange exposures on foreign-currency-denominated assets and liabilities. The contracts were recorded in New Taiwan dollars at the current rate of exchange at the contract date. The differences in the New Taiwan dollar amounts translated using the current rates and the amounts translated using the contracted forward rates were amortized over the terms of the forward contracts using the straight-line method. At the end of each period, the receivables or payables arising from forward contracts were restated using the prevailing exchange rates with the resulting differences credited or charged to income. In addition, the receivables and payables related to the same forward contracts were netted with the resulting amount presented as either an asset or a liability. Any resulting gain or loss upon settlement was credited or charged to income in the period of settlement.

			The Company entered into cross currency swap contracts to manage currency exposures on foreign-currency-denominated assets and liabilities. The principal amount was recorded using the current rates at the contract date. The differences in the New Taiwan dollar amounts translated using the current rates and the amounts translated using the contracted rates were amortized over the terms of the contracts using the straight-line method. At the end of each period, the receivables or payables arising from cross-currency swap contracts were restated using the prevailing exchange rate with the resulting differences credited or charged to income. In addition, the receivables and payables related to the contracts of the same counter party were netted with the resulting amount presented as either an asset or a liability. The difference in interest computed pursuant to the contracts on each settlement date or the balance sheet date was recorded as an adjustment to the interest income or expense associated with the hedged items. Any resulting gain or loss upon settlement was credited or charged to income in the period of settlement.

- 15 -

			The Company entered into interest rate swap contracts to manage exposures to changes in interest rates on existing assets or liabilities. These transactions were accounted for on an accrual basis, in which the cash settlement receivable or payable was recorded as an adjustment to interest income or expense associated with the hedged items.

			Certain accounts in the financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2005 have been reclassified to conform to the classifications prescribed by the newly released SFASs. The reclassifications of the whole or a part of the account balances of certain accounts are summarized as follows:

		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 is limited to a certain percentage of the Company’s paid-in capital.

- 26 -

	$	53,822,486	$	56,720,875

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation as revised on May 10, 2005 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 has equaled 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 supervisors and bonus 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 and supervisors. The Company may issue stock bonuses to employees 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 stipulate 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 recorded in the year of shareholder approval and given effect to in the financial statements of that year.

		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 assets, 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.

- 27 -

The appropriations of earnings for 2005 and 2004 had been approved in the shareholders’ meetings held on May 16, 2006 and May 10, 2005, respectively. The appropriations and dividends per share were as follows:

Bonus to directors and supervisors		257,410			231,466


	$	80,428,051		$	75,580,645

		The amounts of the above appropriations of earnings for 2005 and 2004 are consistent with the resolutions of the meetings of the Board of Directors held on February 14, 2006 and February 22, 2005, respectively. If the above bonus to employees, directors and supervisors had been paid entirely in cash and charged to earnings of 2005 and 2004, the basic earnings per share (after income tax) for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 would have decreased from NT$3.79 to NT$3.50 and NT$3.97 to NT$3.70, respectively.

		The shares distributed as a bonus to employees represented 1.39% and 1.33% of the Company’s total outstanding common shares as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

		The above information about the appropriations of bonus to employees, directors and supervisors is available at Market Observation Post System website.

Bonds payable (including current portion)		19,500,000		19,888,147		30,000,000		30,429,929

Methods and assumptions used in the determination of fair values of financial instruments

	1)		The aforementioned financial instruments do not include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, other financial assets, payables, and payables to contractors and equipment suppliers. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values.

	2)		The aforementioned financial instruments do not include long-term payables either. The fair value was determined using the discounted value of expected cash flows, which approximates their carrying amount.

	3)		Fair values of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity financial assets were based on their quoted market prices; while fair values of structured time deposits were estimated using valuation techniques.

	4)		Fair value of bonds payable was based on their quoted market price.

	5)		Fair values of derivatives were determined using valuation techniques incorporating estimates and assumptions that were consistent with prevailing market conditions.

	c.		Losses recognized for the changes in fair value of derivatives estimated using valuation techniques were NT$277,453 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

	d.		As of June 30, 2006 and 2005, financial assets exposed to fair value interest rate risk were NT$96,561,617 thousand and NT$76,801,791 thousand, respectively, financial liabilities exposed to fair value interest rate risk were NT$599,909 thousand and NT$836,704 thousand, respectively, and financial assets exposed to cash flow interest rate risk were NT$7,127,780 thousand and NT$6,955,960 thousand, respectively.

	e.		The Company recognized an unrealized loss of NT$191,469 thousand in shareholder’s equity for the changes in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The Company also recognized an unrealized gain of NT$308,023 thousand in shareholders’ equity for the changes in available-for-sale financial assets held by equity method investees for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

- 32 -

Information about financial risks

	1)		Market risk. The derivative financial instruments categorized as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are mainly used to hedge the exchange rate fluctuations of foreign-currency- denominated assets and liabilities. Therefore, the market risk of derivatives will be offset by the foreign exchange risk of these assets and liabilities. Available-for-sale 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 values of these debt instruments.

	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. The counter-parties or third-parties to the foregoing financial instruments are reputable financial institutions, business organizations, and government agencies. Management believes its exposure to default by those parties is low.

	3)		Liquidity risk. The Company has sufficient operating capital to meet cash needs upon settlement of derivative financial instruments and bonds payable. Therefore, the cash flow risk is low.

	4)		Cash flow interest rate risk. The Company mainly engages in investments in fixed-interest-rate debt securities. Therefore, cash flows are not expected to fluctuate significantly due to changes in market interest rates.

23. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company engages in business transactions with the following related parties:

	a.		Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), the chairman of the Company is one of its supervisors.

As of June 30, 2006, SMIC has paid US$45,000 thousand in accordance with the terms of this settlement agreement.

26. SIGNIFICANT COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The significant commitments and contingencies of the Company as of June 30, 2006, excluding those disclosed in other notes, were as follows:

	a.		On June 20, 2004, the Company and Philips amended the Technical Cooperation Agreement, which was originally signed on May 12, 1997. The amended Technical Cooperation Agreement is for five years beginning from January 1, 2004. Upon expiration, this amended Technical Cooperation Agreement will be terminated and will not be automatically renewed; however, the patent cross license arrangement between the Company and Philips will survive the expiration of the amended Technical Cooperation Agreement. Under this amended Technical Cooperation Agreement, the Company will pay Philips royalties based on a fixed amount mutually agreed-on, rather than under a certain percentage of the Company’s annual net sales. The Company and Philips agreed to cross license the patents owned by each party. The Company also obtained through Philips a number of cross patent licenses.

	b.		Under a technical cooperation agreement with ITRI, the Company shall reserve and allocate up to 35% of certain of its production capacity for use by the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) or any other party designated by the MOEA. 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. The agreement was automatically renewed in 1992 and 1997 and on January 1, 2002.

	c.		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 June 30, 2006, the Company had a total of US$102,966 thousand of guarantee deposits.

- 36 -

	d.		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%. The Company and Philips committed to buy specific percentages of the production capacity of SSMC. The Company and Philips are required, in the aggregate, to purchase up to 70% of SSMC’s full capacity, but the Company alone is not required to purchase more than 28% of the annual installed capacity. If any party defaults on the commitment and the capacity utilization of SSMC fall below a specific percentage of its total capacity, the defaulting party is required to compensate SSMC for all related unavoidable costs.

	e.		The Company provides technical services to SSMC under a Technical Cooperation Agreement (the Agreement) entered into on May 12, 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 may be automatically renewed for successive periods of five years each unless pre-terminated by either party under certain conditions.

	f.		Under a Technology Transfer Agreement (TTA) with National Semiconductor Corporation (National) entered into on June 27, 2000, the Company shall receive payments for the licensing of certain technology to National. The agreement was to remain in force for ten years and could be automatically renewed for successive periods of two years thereafter unless either party gives written notice for early termination under certain conditions. In January 2003, the Company and National entered into a Termination Agreement whereby the TTA was terminated. Under the Termination Agreement, the Company will be relieved of any further obligation to transfer any additional technology. In addition, the Company granted National an option to request the transfer of certain technologies under the same terms and conditions as the terminated TTA. The option will expire in January 2008.

	g.		In December 2003, the Company entered into a Technology Development and License Agreement with Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. to jointly develop 65-nm SOI (silicon on insulator) technology. The Company will also license related 90-nm SOI technology from Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. Any intellectual properties arising out of the co-development project shall be jointly owned by the parties. In accordance with the agreement, the Company will pay royalties to Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. and will share a portion of the costs associated with the joint development project.

	h.		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.

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

Cash Equivalents

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 the changes in fair value recognized in current income. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized and derecognized using settlement date accounting.

Fair value is determined as follows: Publicly-traded stocks — closing price at the balance sheet date; and 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.

- 11 -

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. The changes in fair value from a 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: Beneficiary certificates of open-end funds — net asset value at the balance sheet date; publicly-traded stocks — closing price at the balance sheet date; and other debt securities — average of bid and asked prices at the balance sheet date.

Held-to-Maturity Financial Assets

Allowance for Doubtful Receivables

- 12 -

Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Sales Returns and Others

Inventories

Financial Assets Carried at Cost

Investments Accounted for Using Equity Method

- 13 -

Gains or losses on sales from the Company to equity method investees are deferred in proportion to the Company’s ownership percentage in the investees until such gains or losses are realized through transactions with 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.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment 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 10 years; office equipment — 3 to 15 years and leased assets — 20 years.

Upon sale or disposal of property, plant and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are deducted from the corresponding accounts, with any gain or loss credited or charged to non-operating gains or losses in the period of sale or disposal.

Goodwill

Deferred Charges

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 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 amortization, as if no impairment loss had been recognized.

- 14 -

Pension Costs

Income Tax

The Company applies intra-period and inter-period allocations for its income tax whereby (1) a portion of current income tax expense is allocated to the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles; and (2) 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.

Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current period’s tax provision.

Income tax on unappropriated earnings (excluding earnings from foreign consolidating subsidiaries) of 10% is expensed in the year of shareholder approval which is the year subsequent to the year the earnings are generated.

The R.O.C. government enacted the Alternative Minimum Tax Act (AMT Act), which became effective on January 1, 2006. The alternative minimum tax (AMT) imposed under the AMT Act is a supplemental tax levied at a rate of 10% which is payable if the income tax payable determined pursuant to the Income Tax Law is below the minimum amount prescribed under the AMT Act. The taxable income for calculating the AMT includes most of the income that is exempted from income tax under various laws and statutes. The Company has considered the impact of the AMT Act in the determination of its tax liabilities.

Stock-based Compensation

Treasury Stock

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 the subsidiaries and cash dividends received by the subsidiaries from TSMC are recorded under capital surplus — treasury stock transactions.

Foreign-currency Transactions

- 15 -

Translation of Foreign-currency Financial Statements

SFAS No. 14, “Accounting for Foreign-currency Translation” applies to foreign subsidiaries that use the local currency as their functional currency. The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the following exchange rates: Assets and liabilities — spot rate at period-end; shareholders’ equity — historical rates; income and expenses — average rate during the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

3.		ACCOUNTING CHANGES

		On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the newly released SFAS No. 34, “Accounting for Financial Instruments” (SFAS No. 34) and No. 36, “Disclosure and Presentation for Financial Instruments” and related revisions of previously released SFASs.

	a.		Effect of adopting the newly released SFASs and related revisions of previously released SFASs

			The Company had properly categorized its financial assets and liabilities upon the initial adoption of the newly released SFASs. The adjustments made to the carrying amounts of the financial instruments categorized as financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss were included in the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles; on the other hand, the adjustments made to the carrying amounts of those categorized as available-for-sale financial assets were recognized as adjustments to shareholders’ equity.

			The effect of adopting the newly released SFASs is summarized as follows:


	Recognized as
	Cumulative
	Effect of		Recognized as
	Changes in		a Separate
	Accounting		Component of
	Principles		Shareholders’
	(Net of Tax)		Equity
Financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss	$	1,606,749	$	—
Available-for-sale financial assets		—		306,531


	$	1,606,749	$	306,531

The adoption of the newly released SFASs resulted in a decrease in net income before cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles of NT$839,900 thousand, an increase in net income of NT$766,849 thousand, and an increase in basic earnings per share (after income tax) of NT$0.03, for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the newly revised SFAS No. 5 and SFAS No. 25, which prescribe that investment premiums, representing goodwill, be assessed for impairment at least on an annual basis instead of being amortized. Such a change in accounting principle did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

- 16 -

	b.		Reclassifications

			Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 34, certain accounts in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were reclassified to conform with the consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The previous issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2005 need not be restated.

			Certain accounting policies prior to the adoption of the newly released SFASs are summarized as follows:

	1)		Short-term investments

			Short-term investments that were publicly-traded, easily converted to cash, and not acquired for the purpose of controlling the investees or establishing close business relationship with the investees were carried at the lower of cost or market value at the balance sheet date, with any temporary decline in value charged to current income. The market value of publicly-traded stocks was determined using the average-closing prices for the last month of the period.

	2)		Derivative financial instruments

			The Company entered into forward exchange contracts to manage foreign exchange exposures on foreign-currency-denominated assets and liabilities. The contracts were recorded in New Taiwan dollars at the current rate of exchange at the contract date. The differences in the New Taiwan dollar amounts translated using the current rates and the amounts translated using the contracted forward rates were amortized over the terms of the forward contracts using the straight-line method. At the end of each period, the receivables or payables arising from forward contracts were restated using the prevailing exchange rates with the resulting differences credited or charged to income. In addition, the receivables and payables related to the same forward contracts were netted with the resulting amount presented as either an asset or a liability. Any resulting gain or loss upon settlement was credited or charged to income in the period of settlement.

			The Company entered into cross currency swap contracts to manage currency exposures on foreign-currency-denominated assets and liabilities. The principal amount was recorded using the current rates at the contract date. The differences in the New Taiwan dollar amounts translated using the current rates and the amounts translated using the contracted rates were amortized over the terms of the contracts using the straight-line method. At the end of each period, the receivables or payables arising from cross-currency swap contracts were restated using the prevailing exchange rate with the resulting differences credited or charged to income. In addition, the receivables and payables related to the contracts of the same counter party were netted with the resulting amount presented as either an asset or a liability. The difference in interest computed pursuant to the contracts on each settlement date or the balance sheet date was recorded as an adjustment to the interest income or expense associated with the hedged items. Any resulting gain or loss upon settlement was credited or charged to income in the period of settlement.

			The Company entered into interest rate swap contracts to manage exposures to changes in interest rates on existing assets or liabilities. These transactions were accounted for on an accrual basis, in which the cash settlement receivable or payable was recorded as an adjustment to interest income or expense associated with the hedged items.

- 17 -

Certain accounts in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2005 have been reclassified to conform to the classifications prescribed by the newly released and revised SFASs. The reclassifications of the whole or a part of the account balances of certain accounts are summarized as follows:

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.

		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 assets, 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 2005 and 2004 had been approved in the shareholders’ meetings held on May 16, 2006 and May 10, 2005, respectively. The appropriations and dividends per share were as follows:


						Dividends Per Share

Bonus to directors and supervisors		257,410			231,466


	$	80,428,051		$	75,580,645

		The amounts of the above appropriations of earnings for 2005 and 2004 are consistent with the resolutions of the meetings of the Board of Directors held on February 14, 2006 and February 22, 2005, respectively. If the above bonus to employees, directors and supervisors had been paid entirely in cash and charged to earnings of 2005 and 2004, the basic earnings per share (after income tax) for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 would have decreased from NT$3.79 to NT$3.50 and NT$3.97 to NT$3.70, respectively.

		The shares distributed as a bonus to employees represented 1.39% and 1.33% of TSMC’s total outstanding common shares as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Methods and assumptions used in the determination of fair values of financial instruments

	1)		The aforementioned financial instruments do not include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, other financial assets, short-term bank loans, payables, and payables to contractors and equipment suppliers. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values.

	2)		Fair values of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity financial assets other than derivatives and structured deposits were based on their quoted market prices.

	3)		Fair values of derivatives and structured deposits were determined using valuation techniques incorporating estimates and assumptions that were consistent with prevailing market conditions.

	4)		Fair value of bonds payable was based on their quoted market price.

	5)		The fair value of long-term bank loans and other long-term payables was based on the present value of expected cash flows, which approximates their carrying amount.

	c.		Losses recognized for the changes in fair value of derivatives estimated using valuation techniques were NT$770,634 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

	d.		As of June 30, 2006 and 2005, financial assets exposed to fair value interest rate risk were NT$96,561,617 thousand and NT$76,801,791 thousand, respectively, financial liabilities exposed to fair value interest rate risk were NT$601,086 thousand and NT$841,617 thousand, respectively, and financial assets exposed to cash flow interest rate risk were NT$7,127,780 thousand and NT$6,955,960 thousand, respectively.

	e.		The Company recognized an unrealized gain of NT$107,228 thousand (NT$102,614 thousand attributable to shareholders’ of the parent and NT$4,614 thousand attributable to minority interests) in shareholder’s equity for the changes in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The Company also recognized an unrealized gain of NT$13,940 thousand in shareholders’ equity for the changes in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets held by equity method investees for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

- 35 -

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 the market risk. The derivative financial instruments categorized as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are mainly used to hedge the exchange rate fluctuations of foreign-currency-denominated assets and liabilities. Therefore, the market risk (exchange rate risk) of derivatives will be offset by the exchange rate risk of these assets and liabilities. Available-for-sale 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.

	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. The counter-parties or third-parties to the foregoing financial instruments are reputable financial institutions, business organizations, and government agencies. Management believes its exposure to default by those parties is low.

	3)		Liquidity risk. The Company has sufficient operating capital to meet cash needs upon settlement of derivative financial instruments, bonds payable and loans. Therefore, the cash flow 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.

25.		RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

		Except as disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and other notes, the following is a summary of significant related party transactions:

	a.		On June 20, 2004, the Company and Philips amended the Technical Cooperation Agreement, which was originally signed on May 12, 1997. The amended Technical Cooperation Agreement is for five years beginning from January 1, 2004. Upon expiration, this amended Technical Cooperation Agreement will be terminated and will not be automatically renewed; however, the patent cross license arrangement between the Company and Philips will survive the expiration of the amended Technical Cooperation Agreement. Under this amended Technical Cooperation Agreement, the Company will pay Philips royalties based on a fixed amount mutually agreed-on, rather than under a certain percentage of the Company’s annual net sales. The Company and Philips agreed to cross license the patents owned by each party. The Company also obtained through Philips a number of cross patent licenses.
