LETTER TO 
SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholders,

TSMC continued to grow in 2005, a year that began at the low end of
capacity utilization but ended with another record for revenue and earnings.

Since the worst downturn in semiconductor history in 2001, TSMC has
steadily improved its performance year over year. Through cyclical upturns
and downturns, TSMC has drawn on its industry-leading technology, manu-
facturing excellence, and strong customer partnerships to deliver consistent
profitability and growth. 

Financial Results
Revenue for 2005 totaled NT$264.6 billion, an increase of 3.4% compared
with NT$255.9 billion in 2004. Net income was NT$93.58 billion, an
increase of 1.4% compared with NT$92.32 billion in 2004. Earnings per
share were NT$3.79, an increase of 1.5% compared with fully diluted earn-
ings per share of NT$3.73 the previous year. In US dollars, revenue for 2005
was US$8.23 billion, an increase of 7.5%, while net income grew to
US$2.91 billion, an increase of 5.4%. Among other highlights in 2005,
TSMC achieved:
● Total average capacity utilization of 92%
● Average gross profit margin of 43.6%
● Average operating profit margin of 35.2%

During the year, TSMC provided 5.96 million 8-inch equivalent wafer capaci-
ty, representing approximately 7.4% of global IC wafer supply.

Cycle Management
Since our founding in 1987 through this year, TSMC has steadily expanded
our business and improved our ability to manage cycles and deliver profit
and positive cash flows. With the single exception of 1997, we have
achieved positive free cash flow every year since our Initial Public Offering in
1994, while trough utilization rates have improved with stronger gross mar-
gins since the industry's record downturn in 2001.

TSMC has painstakingly built internal long-range planning processes that
strategically expand capacity and allow the company to respond appropri-
ately to cyclical demand trends. In this way, the Company can optimize
ramp-up times at each new generation of chip process technologies, while

also increasing our reliability as a manufacturing partner, building sustain-
able market share and maximizing profitability. As a result of expanded
capacity and quality improvement, TSMC's share of the pure-play semicon-
ductor foundry segment expanded from 47% in 2000 to approximately 50%
in 2005, while simultaneously delivering substantially higher operating profit
than the rest of the sector competitors combined.

Core Strengths to Satisfy Customers
A solid foundation of technological innovation and the development and
deployment of proprietary process technologies for the most advanced inte-
grated devices drives TSMC's success. For example, since entering volume
production, our proprietary 0.13-micron process technology has consistently
captured substantial market share among all other major foundries. Through
our innovative NexsysSM process technology, the Company is well situated to
capture a leading share position at the 90-nanometer and 65-nanometer
nodes.

TSMC's manufacturing excellence is further enhanced by a company-wide
focus on operating efficiency. Together, these strengths have allowed TSMC
to leverage technology and capacity more effectively than other players in
the dedicated semiconductor foundry segment. The Company has consis-
tently achieved the foundry segment's highest utilization rates and won high
customer satisfaction throughout the cycle.

Customer partnership, TSMC's third core strength, is central to building cus-
tomer loyalty and sustainable, profitable market share. "Virtual Fab," the
Company's unique customer-first business model, includes cutting-edge
front-end and back-end services that help customers take full advantage of
TSMC's technology and manufacturing capabilities. As a true partnership,
each brings core strengths to a relationship that reflects the most efficient
use of invested capital, with TSMC providing the proprietary process tech-
nologies and the most efficient production facilities that enable IC develop-
ers to continually reduce their time to market, time to volume and maximize
their long-term profitability.

A New Stage of Continuity
As the Company continuously seeks to improve its strength and quality, we
are entering a new stage in TSMC's maturity as a public company. Dr. Morris
Chang, who founded TSMC in 1987, turned over the role of Chief Executive
Officer on July 1, 2005 to Dr. Rick Tsai, who has served the Company since
1989, most recently as President and Chief Operating Officer. Dr. Chang will
continue to dedicate his full time and efforts to the Company as Chairman
of the Board of Directors. At the same time, the Board of Directors has elect-
ed Dr. F. C. Tseng as Vice Chairman. In his new capacity, Dr. Tseng will assist
Dr. Chang and remain as Chairman of TSMC (Shanghai), and the TSMC
Education and Culture Foundation.

With continuity in mind, all TSMC employees remain dedicated to bringing
innovative thinking and strategic planning to bear on whatever changes the
market presents in the decades to come. Core strengths - technology leader-
ship, manufacturing excellence, and customer partnership - ensure TSMC's
place as a pioneer in developing new ways of serving customers and share-
holders better. 

Innovation
TSMC enjoyed another year of leadership in innovation, providing the mar-
ket with advanced process technology that represents a significant step-up
in performance.

The focal point of technology innovation in 2005 was the unveiling and suc-
cessful prototyping of the new 65nm NexsysSM Technology for SoC Design,
the company's third-generation semiconductor process employing both cop-
per interconnects and low-k dielectrics. The new process technology allows
customers to build logic devices with double the density of 90nm node and
leads the industry with a 50% gain in speed over the 90nm General Purpose
process and a 20% reduction in standby power.

The Company continues to invest in enlarging its position as the foundry
segment's technology leader. In 2005, TSMC spent approximately US$417
million, more than 5% of revenues, on Research and Development. It will
dedicate a similar percentage of revenue to R&D in 2006.

shareholders at a price of US$8.60 per ADS. Each TSMC ADS represents five
common shares of TSMC. After the offering, TSMC's outstanding ADSs rep-
resented approximately 17.5% of the total share capital. 

Awards
In 2005, TSMC continued to receive recognition and awards from around
the world as a corporate role model. Among the numerous media surveys
conducted in 2005, Institutional Investors, FinanceAsia and Asiamoney have
chosen TSMC as the Best Managed Company, with the Best Corporate
Governance, Best Investor Relations, and Best CFO. IR Magazine has awarded
TSMC six out of seven possible performance awards - ranging from Grand
Prix for Best Overall Investor Relations in the region of Hong Kong and
Taiwan, to Best Corporate Governance, Best Annual Report and Other
Corporate Literature, and Best Web Site; and from Best Investor Relations by
a CEO or Chairman, to Best IR Officer. Globalviews elected TSMC to receive
the Award for Social Responsibility, while CommonWealth Magazine voted
us the Most Admired Company for the ninth consecutive time. TSMC also
received the Outstanding Nano-Tech Award from the Ministry of Economic
Affairs (MOEA) of the Republic of China with a unanimous vote of recogni-
tion from The Award Steering Committee of the Industrial Development
Bureau of MOEA. 

Corporate Developments
In August, the Company successfully completed a secondary offering of
approximately 163 million American Depositary Shares (ADSs) by Koninklijke
Philips Electronics N.V., the Executive Yuan's Development Fund, and other

Outlook
With the inventory adjustment that began in mid 2004 and carried through
the first half of 2005, the IC industry was able to register another growth
year in 2005 at 8%, according to IC Insights' latest estimates. The outlook for
2006 is for the industry to grow another 8%, representing the fifth consecu-
tive year of expansion of the IC industry, as forecast by IC Insights. Although
the foundry segment grew at a lower rate than the industry in 2005, affected
by the need to digest excess inventory in the early part of the year, it is
expected to resume its momentum and outpace the IC industry in 2006.

With our leadership in technology, manufacturing excellence, and customer
partnership, as well as our focus on strategic planning and financial disci-
pline, we are confident that TSMC should be able to compete well and con-
tinue to deliver growth and profitability to maximize shareholder value in the
future.

As a responsible corporate citizen, the Company is committed to public serv-

ice and to maintaining strong relationships with our customers, investors,

employees, and the communities where TSMC does business. 

Sound corporate governance is rooted in a strong Board of Directors com-

prised of experienced business leaders and distinguished scholars. The Board

reinforces the Company's commitment to financial integrity and manage-

ment soundness. There are three independent Board members among a

total of nine directors. The Audit Committee, which reports to the Board,

was established in 2002. It oversees the integrity of TSMC's financial and

audit systems. The Audit Committee is comprised solely of independent

members of the Board. The Compensation Committee was established in

June 2003 and is comprised of three voting members, who are independent

Board members, as well as two non-voting members. It reviews and makes

recommendations on issues related to employee and executive compensa-

tion. 

1.1 Core Values 

Integrity - a central value of the Company. TSMC's commitment to integrity

can be best illustrated by our strong corporate governance standards and by

the requirement that all TSMC employees act with honesty and uprightness,

TSMC's suppliers of silicon wafers are required to pass stringent quality certifi-
cation procedures.

Each supplier has multiple manufacturing sites in order to meet customer
demands, including plants in the North America, Asia, and Europe.

TSMC procures wafers from multiple sources to ensure adequate supplies for
volume manufacturing and to appropriately manage supply risk.

TSMC maintains competitive price and service agreements with its wafer sup-
pliers, and when necessary enters into strategic and collaborative agreements
with key suppliers.

TSMC regularly reviews the quality, delivery, cost and service performance of its
wafer suppliers. The results of these reviews are incorporated in TSMC's subse-
quent purchasing decisions.

A periodic audit of each wafer supplier's quality assurance systems ensures that
TSMC can maintain the highest quality for its own products. 

Both suppliers have relocated many of their operations closer to TSMC's major
manufacturing facilities, therefore improving the procurement logistics signifi-
cantly.

The suppliers' products are reviewed regularly to ensure that TSMC's specifica-

1.1 Analysis of Deviation over 20% 
● The increase in other assets was mainly due to an increase of deferred tax
assets for new equipment tax credits.
● The decrease in current liabilities was primarily due to a decrease in equip-
ment payables and a repayment of corporate bonds.
● The increase in retained earnings was due to the operating results in 2005,
partially offset by 2004 earnings distribution.

2.1 Analysis of Deviation over 20% 
● Increase in sales returns and allowances: The sales returns and allowances
increased as a result of increase in sales and anticipated sales returns and
allowances.
● Decrease in non-operating income and gains: The decrease was primarily
due to a reduction in investment income, partially offset by a higher inter-
est income as a result of increased investment in bonds.
● Increase in non-operating expenses and losses: The increase was mainly
due to higher interest expenses and an increase in investment loss. 
● Increase in income tax expenses: The increase was primarily due to a higher
taxable income.

Analysis of Deviation over 20% - 2005 vs. 2004:
1. The debt ratio decreased by 33% as a result of a decrease in current liabilities. The reduction in current liabilities was mainly due to decrease in payables

to equipment vendors and the repayment of corporate bonds.

3. The times interest earned decreased by 31% mainly due to an increase in interest expenses related to cross currency swap contracts.
4. The cash flow ratio increased by 97% mainly due to a decrease in current liabilities.
5. The cash flow reinvestment ratio decreased by 31%, mainly due to acquisition of new equipment and an increase of working capital and cash dividend.

2. The current ratio and the quick ratio both increased by 114%, primarily due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents and a decrease in current liabili-

ties.

Note1: Retroactively adjusted for capitalization of unappropriated earnings and bonuses to employees.
Note2: Certain accounts of prior years have been reclassified to conform to current year classifications.

9. Financial Statements for the Years Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and Independent Auditors' Report

Notice to Readers

The accompanying financial statements are intended only to present the financial position, results of

operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted

in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdiction. The standards, procedures and prac-

tices to audit such financial statements are those generally accepted and applied in the Republic of

China.

For the convenience of readers, the auditors' report and the accompanying financial statements have

been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of

China. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any dif-

ference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language auditors' report and financial

statements shall prevail. 

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, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of income,

changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements

61

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 examin-

ing, 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 man-

agement, 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,

2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in con-

formity with Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and

accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.

We have also audited the consolidated financial statements of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing

Company Limited and subsidiaries as of and for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and

have expressed an unqualified opinion on such financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004
(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

1. 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 affili-

ates (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.

Short-term Investments

Short-term investments primarily consist of agency bonds, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities,

bond funds, government bonds and others.

Short-term investments are recorded at historical cost and are carried at the lower of cost or market

value as of the balance sheet date. An allowance for decline in value is provided and is charged to cur-

rent income when the aggregate carrying amount of the investments exceeds the aggregate market

value. A reversal of the allowance is recorded for a subsequent recovery of the aggregate market value.

66

The costs of funds and listed stocks sold are accounted for using the weighted-average method;

whereas the costs of other securities sold are accounted for using the specific identification method.

The market value of funds is determined using the net asset value of the funds at the end of the year,

and the market value of listed stocks is determined using the average-closing prices of the listed

stocks for the last month of the year. The market value of other short-term investments is determined

using the average of bid and ask prices as of the balance sheet date.

As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had 19,460 and 18,562 employees, respectively.

Cash dividends are recorded as investment income in the current year.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements are presented in conformity with 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 princi-

ples requires management to make reasonable assumptions and estimates of matters that are inher-

ently 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 due on demand 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

Allowance for Doubtful Receivables

An allowance for doubtful receivables is provided based on a review of the collectibility of accounts

receivables. The Company determines the amount of the allowance for doubtful receivables by exam-

ining the aging analysis of outstanding account receivables 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 manu-

facturing of photo masks, which are used as manufacturing tools in the fabrication process, are rec-

ognized when the photo masks are qualified by customers. The Company records a provision for esti-

mated future returns and other allowances in the period the related revenue is recorded. Provisions

for estimated sales returns and other allowances are generally made based on historical experience,

management's judgment, and any known factors that would significantly affect the allowance.

Sales are determined using the 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, the fair value of receivables is equivalent to the nominal amount of

cash to be received.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Inventories are recorded at standard cost

9. BONDS PAYABLE

The interest rate of the step-up callable deposits is determined by the Company and the related

banks. The amount of interest earned by the Company for the callable range accrual deposits is based

on a pre-defined range as determined by the 3-month or 6-month LIBOR plus an agreed upon rate

ranging between 2.10% and 3.45%. Based on the terms of the deposits, if the 3-month or 6-month

LIBOR moves outside of the pre-defined range, the interest paid to the Company is at a fixed rate

between zero and 1.5%. Under the terms of the contracts, the bank has the right to cancel the con-

tracts prior to the maturity date. 

As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, deposits that resided in banks located in Hong Kong amounted

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 net 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 equal to not more

than 0.3% and not less than 1% of the remainder, respectively. Directors who also serve as execu-

tive 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 prefer-

ably by way of cash dividend. Distribution of profits may also be made by way of stock dividend; pro-

vided, however, the ratio for stock dividend shall not exceed 50% of total distribution.

Any appropriations of the net profits are recorded in the financial statement in the year of sharehold-

er approval.

The appropriation for legal capital reserve shall be made until the reserve equals the Company's paid-

in capital. The reserve can 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 shareholder's

equity (for example, unrealized loss on long-term investments and cumulative translation adjust-

ments, but excluding treasury stock), shall be made from unappropriated earnings pursuant to exist-

ing regulations promulgated by the Securities and Futures Bureau (SFB). Any special reserve appropri-

The amounts of the above appropriations of earnings for 2004 and 2003 are consistent with the res-

olutions of the meetings of the Board of Directors held on February 22, 2005 and February 17, 2004,

respectively. However, the Company Law prescribes that TSMC, as a holder of treasury stock, shall not

participate in the appropriation of earnings.  Therefore, the actual cash dividend per share and stock

dividend per share are slightly more than those in the aforementioned resolutions. If the above bonus

to employees, directors and supervisors had been paid entirely in cash and charged against earnings

for 2004 and 2003, the after income tax basic earnings per share for the years ended December 31,

2004 and 2003 would have decreased from NT$3.97 to NT$3.70 and NT$2.33 to NT$2.15, respec-

tively. The shares distributed as a bonus to employees represented 1.33% and 1.35% of the

Company's total outstanding common shares as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

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, for the purpose of constructing 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

$

2,213,087

falls below a specific percentage of its total capacity, the defaulting party is required to compen-

sate SSMC for all related unavoidable costs.

TSMC, TSMC-North America and WaferTech filed a series of lawsuits in late 2003 and 2004 against

Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation ("SMIC"), SMIC (Shanghai) and SMIC

Americas. The lawsuits alleged that SMIC companies infringed multiple TSMC patents and misappro-

priated TSMC's trade secrets. These suits were settled out of court on January 30, 2005. As part of the

settlement, SMIC shall pay TSMC US$175 million over six years to resolve TSMC's claims.

21. SIGNIFICANT COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The significant commitments and contingencies of the Company as of December 31, 2005 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,

e. The Company provides technical services to SSMC under a Technology 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 automati-

cally renewed for successive periods of two years thereafter unless either party gives notice for early

termination under certain conditions. In January 2003, the Company and National entered into a

Termination Agreement whereby the TTA was terminated for convenience. Under the Termination

Agreement, the Company will be relieved of any further obligation to transfer any additional tech-

nology. 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.

1. GENERAL

107

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC), a Republic of China (R.O.C.) corpo-

ration, was incorporated as a venture among the Government of the R.O.C., acting through the

TSMC

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).

TSMC 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 December 31, 2005 and 2004, TSMC and its subsidiaries had 21,950 and 20,444 employees,

respectively.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with 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 consolidated financial statements have been trans-

lated 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 interpre-

tation of the two versions, the Chinese-language consolidated financial statements shall prevail.

Significant accounting policies are summarized as follows: 

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all directly and indirectly

majority owned subsidiaries of TSMC, and the accounts of investees in which TSMC's ownership per-

centage is less than 50% but has a controlling interest. All significant intercompany balances and

transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

In compliance with the revised R.O.C. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 7

"Consolidated Financial Statements", the consolidated financial statements included new consolidated

entities, including Global Unichip Corporation (GUC), Global Unichip Corp.-North America (GUC-NA),

Vested benefit

the Act is deemed a defined contribution plan. The employees who were subject to the Labor

Standards Law prior to July 1, 2005 were allowed to choose to be subject to the pension mechanism

under the Act or continue to be subject to the pension mechanism under the Labor Standards Law.

For those employees who were subject to the Labor Standards Law prior to July 1, 2005 and still work

for the same company after July 1, 2005 and have chosen to be subject to the pension mechanism

under the Act, their seniority as of July 1, 2005 shall be maintained. The Act prescribes that the rate

of contribution by an employer to employees' pension accounts per month shall not be less than 6%

of each employee's monthly salary. Furthermore, TSMC-Shanghai is required to make contributions to

based on an employee's length of service and average monthly salary prior to retirement. TSMC and

GUC contribute an amount equal to 2% of salaries paid each month to their respective pension fund

(the Funds). The Funds are administered by pension fund monitoring committees and deposited in

16. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

TSMC has issued a total of 864,194 thousand ADSs which are traded on the NYSE as of December

31, 2005. The number of common shares represented by the ADSs is 4,320,969 thousand (one ADS

represents five common shares).

Capital surplus can only be used to offset a deficit under the Company Law. However, the capital sur-

plus generated from donations and the excess of the issue 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 restricted to a certain percent-

age of the paid-in capital of TSMC. 

As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the capital surplus consisted of the following:

From merger
Additional paid-in capital
From convertible bonds
From treasury stock transactions
From long-term investments
Donations

c. Bonus to directors and supervisors and bonus to employees of TSMC equal to 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 and supervisors. TSMC 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. 

TSMC's Articles of Incorporation also stipulate 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 however,

the ratio for stock dividend shall not exceed 50% of total distribution.

Any appropriations of the net profits are recorded in the financial statement in the year of sharehold-

er approval.

The appropriation for legal capital reserve shall be made until the reserve equals TSMC's paid-in capi-

tal. The reserve can be used to offset a deficit, or be distributed as dividends and bonuses for the por-

tion in excess of 50% of the paid-in capital, if TSMC has no unappropriated earnings and the reserve

balance has exceeded 50% of the paid-in capital. The Company Law also prescribes that, when the

reserve has reached 50% of the 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 shareholder's

equity (for example, unrealized loss on long-term investments and cumulative translation adjust-

ments, but excluding treasury stock), shall be made from unappropriated earnings pursuant to exist-

ing regulations promulgated by the Securities and Futures Bureau (SFB). Any special capital reserve

appropriated may be reversed to the extent that the net debit balance reverses.

TSMC's appropriations of earnings for 2004 and 2003 had been approved in the shareholders' meet-

ings held on May 10, 2005 and May 11, 2004, respectively. The appropriations and dividend per

share were as follows:

profits for each fiscal year, TSMC shall first offset its losses in previous years and then set aside the fol-

lowing items accordingly: 

a. Legal capital reserve at 10% of the profits left over, until the accumulated legal capital reserve has

equaled TSMC's total capital;

Information about TSMC's outstanding stock options for the years ended December 31, 2005 and

olutions of the meetings of the Board of Directors held on February 22, 2005 and February 17, 2004,

2004 was as follows:

respectively. However, the Company Law prescribes that TSMC, as a holder of treasury stock shall not

participate in the appropriations of earnings. Therefore, the actual cash dividend per share and stock

dividend per share are slightly more than those in the aforementioned resolutions. If the above bonus

to employee, directors and supervisors had been paid entirely in cash and charged against earnings

for 2004 and 2003, the after tax basic earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2004

and 2003 would have decreased from NT$3.97 to NT$3.70 and NT$2.33 to NT$2.15, respectively.

The shares distributed as a bonus to employees represented 1.33% and 1.35% of TSMC's total out-

standing common shares as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

As of January 12, 2006, the Board of Directors of TSMC has not resolved the appropriation for earn-

ings of 2005.

The above information about the appropriations of bonus to employees, directors and supervisors is

available at Market Observation System website.

Under the Integrated Income Tax System that became effective on January 1, 1998, the R.O.C. resi-

dent shareholders are allowed a tax credit for their proportionate share of the income tax paid by

TSMC on earnings generated since January 1, 1998.

carrying amounts of the aforementioned financial instruments reported in the balance sheet approxi-

mate their fair values.

b. Geographic information: 

The above financial instruments also exclude refundable deposits, guarantee deposits, long-term

investments that do not have quoted market prices, long-term bank loans as well as other long-term

payables. The future cash inflow and outflow of the deposits approximate their fair values. Some of

the long-term investments do not have quoted market prices; therefore, fair values for those long-

term investments are not shown above. The fair value of long-term bank loans with floating interest

rates is their carrying amount. The fair value of long-term bank loans with fixed interest rates is the

present value of expected cash flows discounted using the interest rate the Company may obtain for

similar long-term bank loans. The fair value of other long-term payables is determined using the dis-

counted value of expected cash flows, which approximates their carrying amount.

Fair values of financial instruments were determined as follows:

b) Fair value of bonds payable is based on their quoted market price.

c) Fair value of derivative financial instruments is the amount receivable from or payable to the count-

er-party if the contracts were terminated on the balance sheet date.

The fair values of some financial and non-financial instruments were not included in the fair values

disclosed above. Accordingly, the sum of the fair values of the financial instruments listed above does

not represent the fair value of the Company as a whole.
