Outlook As we begin our 21st year, management anticipates the global semi- conductor market should grow by a mid-single digit rate in 2008, and that the foundry segment in general, and TSMC in particular, should grow by more than that. While much depends on macro-economic developments globally, our 2008 results will benefit from the capacity that we have already built over the years along with improvements in capital productivity and operating efficiency. We are focused on balancing capacity installa- tion with anticipated demand to maintain high utilization rates, which will have a positive impact on return on investment. Given TSMC's 2008 capacity plan, which represents an annual capacity increase of 12.7%, we expect the capital intensity ratio, defined as capital expenditure as a percentage of sales, will be lower this year. We are also focusing on pricing so that it will reflect the true value proposition that TSMC's products and services represent to our cus- tomers. The semiconductor competitive landscape will continue to transform itself as the costs associated with designing and producing advanced technology continues to grow. Customers and suppliers are today dealing with new processes and new materials as complex and costly as they are powerful. All of us at TSMC will continue to commit our- selves to enabling our customers' success and increasing our share- holders' value throughout 2008 and beyond.

Founded on February 21, 1987 and headquartered in Hsinchu, Taiwan, TSMC pioneered the business model of focusing solely on manufacturing customers' semiconductor designs. As a dedicated semiconductor foundry, the company does not design, manufacture, or market semiconductor products under its own brand name, ensuring that TSMC does not compete directly with its customers. TSMC's diverse global customer base ensures that TSMC- manufactured microchips are used in a broad variety of applications, including various segments of the computer, communications and consumer electronics markets. Total capacity of the manufacturing facilities managed by TSMC, including subsidiaries and joint ventures, was 8.29 million 8-inch equivalent wafers in 2007. In Taiwan, TSMC operates two advanced 12-inch wafer fabs, four 8-inch wafer fabs, and one 6-inch wafer fab. TSMC also manages two 8-inch fabs at wholly owned subsidiaries: WaferTech in the United States and TSMC (Shanghai) Company, Ltd. in China. In addition, TSMC obtains 8-inch wafer capacity from other companies in which TSMC has an equity interest. TSMC provides customer service through its account management and engineering services offices in North America, Europe, Japan, China, South Korea, and India. The company employed more than 20,000 people worldwide as of the end of 2007. TSMC continued to lead the industry in advanced process technologies. Already first to provide 65nm production capacity, TSMC in 2007 became the first foundry to provide 45nm production. In addition to general-purpose logic process technology, TSMC supports the wide-ranging needs of its customers with embedded non-volatile memory, embedded DRAM, mixed signal/RF, high voltage, CMOS image sensor, color filter, and silicon germanium technologies. In December 2007, TSMC announced at the IEDM conference in Washington the foundry's first 32nm technology with functional SRAM. The company is listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE) under ticker number 2330, and its American Depositary Shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol TSM. 2.2 Market/Business Summary 2.2.1 TSMC Achievements In 2007, TSMC maintained its leading position in the dedicated foundry segment of the global semiconductor industry, with an estimated market segment share of 47%, above twice the share of its closest competitor. TSMC achieved this result amid fierce competition from both established players and relatively new entrants to the business. A key contributory factor to TSMC's strong position is its lead in advanced process technologies. In 2007, 55% of TSMC's wafer revenue came from manufacturing processes with geometries of 0.13µm and below. A critical milestone was reached in December 2007, when TSMC shipped its one-millionth 90nm 12-inch wafer. Moreover, TSMC also achieved volume production of the 45nm process as well as development of the leading-edge 32nm process, both industry firsts. By the fourth quarter of 2007, more than 39% of TSMC's revenue came from 90nm processes or below. In line with its unwavering focus on customer partnership, TSMC offers innovative services as well as advanced technologies. Among the many innovative services unveiled in 2007 were: Multi-Layer Mask Service, which enables maximum customer flexibility in prototyping single or multi-chip verifications or small volume production runs; Reference FlowTM 8.0, the latest generation of TSMC's design methodology, which increases yield, lowers risks and improves design margins; and Active Accuracy Assurance, which enables design optimization critical for silicon success in leading-edge technologies such as 45nm. TSMC continued to advance the semiconductor roadmap in 2007. Examples of technologies the Company developed or rolled out include: ● 32nm technology with functional SRAM ● 45nm technology ● 55nm technology, a 90% linear shrink from 65nm ● 65nm mixed signal and radio frequency (MS/RF) technologies ● 65nm embedded DRAM technology ● 0.13µm embedded flash memory ● 0.16µm high voltage process for small panel single chip drivers ● 0.20µm process for larger panel source drivers ● 0.25µm bipolar complementary device (BCD) ● 1.00µm ultra high voltage process In addition, a major focus of TSMC's technology development in 2007 was its quarter-node strategy. TSMC unveiled CMOS Logic 0.152µm, CMOS Mixed Signal 0.152µm, CMOS Logic 0.12µm, CMOS Logic 85nm General, and CMOS Logic 85nm Low Power technologies. These quarter-node technologies enabled customers to produce their IC chips even more cost-effectively by shrinking the process nodes. 2.2.2 Market Overview The integrated circuit (IC) market in 2007 reached US$218.5 billion in revenue, an increase of 4.3% over 2006. This represented 85% of total worldwide semiconductor revenue of US$256 billion. Growth of fabless design companies slightly outpaced that of integrated device manufacturers (IDMs) in 2007, with a market share of 21% of total IC revenues. IC foundry, a manufacturing sub-segment of the IC industry that serves both fabless companies and IDMs, generated total revenues of US$24.3 billion in 2007, up 4.3% year on year, while revenues from dedicated IC foundries such as TSMC reached US$20.7 billion, up 4% from 2006. It is estimated that the production value of dedicated IC foundries accounted for 19% of worldwide IC revenues in 2007. 8 In 2007, the largest geographic market for dedicated foundry services was North America, which accounted for 59% of overall dedicated Differentiation TSMC's leading industry position is based on a trinity of key foundry revenue.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 24 TRUST 25 TSMC advocates and acts upon the principles of operational transparency and respect for shareholder rights. We believe that the basis for successful corporate governance is a sound and effective Board of Directors. In line with this principle, TSMC's Board of Directors established an Audit Committee in 2002 and a Compensation Committee in 2003. TSMC's corporate governance was recognized in 2007 with the "Best Corporate Governance Award" for the Hong Kong and Taiwan regions from IR Magazine, the "Best in Taiwan of Asset Corporate Governance Awards 2007" from The Asset Magazine, the "Corporate Governance Asia Recognition in Taiwan" from Corporate Governance Asia. It was also recognized as the company "Most Committed to Corporate Governance" for the Taiwan region by FinanceAsia Magazine. 3.1 Board of Directors TSMC's Board of Directors consists of eight distinguished members with a great breadth of experience as world-class business leaders or scholars. Four of the eight members are independent directors: former British Telecommunications Chief Executive Officer, Sir Peter Bonfield; Professor Lester Thurow from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; former Acer Group Chairman, Mr. Stan Shih; and former Hewlett- Packard Chairman and CEO, Ms. Carleton (Carly) Fiorina. Under the leadership of Chairman Morris Chang, TSMC's Board of Directors takes a serious and forthright approach to its duties and is a serious, competent and independent Board. In the spirit of Chairman Chang's approach to corporate governance, a board of directors' primary duty is to supervise. The Board should supervise the Company's: compliance with relevant laws and regulations; financial transparency; timely disclose of material information, and maintaining of highest integrity within the company. TSMC's Board of Directors strives to perform through the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee, the hiring of a financial expert for the Audit Committee, coordination with the Internal Audit department, and through the ombudsman reporting system. The second duty of the board of directors is to provide guidance to the management team of the Company. TSMC's management quarterly reports to the TSMC Board on a variety of subjects. The management also proposes and reviews the Company's business strategies with the Board. Furthermore, the management often reviews with and updates TSMC's Board on the progress of the strategies, obtaining Board guidance as appropriate. The third duty of the board of directors is to dismiss officers of the company when necessary and to evaluate the management's performance. TSMC's management has maintained a healthy and functional communication with TSMC Board of Directors, has been devoted in executing guidance of TSMC Board of Directors, and is dedicated in running the business operations, all to achieve the best interest for all TSMC shareholders.

TSMC is fully aware that establishing, operating, and maintaining an internal control system are the responsibility of its Board of Directors and management. TSMC has established such a system aimed at providing reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of objectives in the following categories: (1) effectiveness and efficiency of operations (including profitability, performance, and safeguarding of assets), (2) reliability of financial reporting, and (3) compliance with applicable laws and regulations. 2. An internal control system has inherent limitations. No matter how perfectly designed, an effective internal control system can provide only reasonable assurance of accomplishing the three objectives mentioned above. Moreover, the effectiveness of an internal control system may be subject to changes of environment or circumstances. Nevertheless, the internal control system of TSMC contains self- monitoring mechanisms, and TSMC takes corrective actions whenever a deficiency is identified. 3. TSMC evaluates the design and operating effectiveness of its internal control system based on the criteria provided in the Regulations Governing the Establishment of Internal Control Systems by Public Companies (hereinbelow, the "Regulations"). The criteria adopted by the Regulations identify five components of internal control based on the process of management control: (1) control environment, (2) risk assessment, (3) control activities, (4) information and communication, and (5) monitoring.

TSMC has established an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program 6.2.2 Strategic Risks based on TSMC's corporate vision as well as its long-term sustainability and responsibility to both industry and society. The program is overseen by the Audit Committee. Industry Developments The semiconductor and microelectronics industries are affected by demand for end products, e.g., personal computers, handsets, and The ERM program seeks to provide for TSMC's adequate management consumer electronics. Our semiconductor foundry business is of risks on behalf of its stakeholders, shareholders and other affected by such market conditions, and most of our customers also interested parties. operate in these industries. Because our business is, and will continue to be, dependent on the requirements of semiconductor and 6.2.1 Risk Management (RM) Organization Chart microelectronics companies for our services, periods of downturn and Audit Committee President & CEO RM Steering Committee Materials Management and Risk Management Senior Vice President RM Working Committee RM Division overcapacity may lead to reduced demand for our services. To mitigate such risks, TSMC covers a broad spectrum of customer and product portfolios to avoid significant impact from events in any single semiconductor or microelectronics industry. Changes in Technology Technologies used in the semiconductor industry are constantly changing. If we do not anticipate these technological changes and rapidly develop new and innovative technologies, or if our competitors unforeseeably gain sudden access to more advanced technologies, we may not be able to win bids for advanced foundry services on competitive terms. Hence, we have concentrated on maintaining a competitive edge in research and development. Staying at the leading edge of technology development is and always will be a top priority effort for TSMC. Decrease in Demand and Average Selling Price Since our sales revenue is derived from customers in the personal computer, communication device and consumer electronics industries, demand in these industries may adversely affect demand for our services and place pressure on our average selling prices. TSMC maintains a broad range of customer and product portfolios to address such risks. Our premium services and proven trustworthiness also enable TSMC to maintain more stable pricing. 61 Competition The markets for our foundry services are highly competitive with our raw materials from sole-source suppliers. TSMC evaluates the risk of supply disruptions from single-source suppliers and assists those other dedicated foundry service providers as well as integrated device suppliers in lowering production and transportation risk by helping manufacturers. Our competition may, from time to time, decide to suppliers improve quality and safety. Also, TSMC monitors supplier undertake aggressive pricing tactics that may lead to lost customer site inventory for earlier detecting of supply risk. To lower the risk of business or decreased average selling prices for TSMC. Such risks, potential price increases, TSMC seeks to establish long-term contracts however, are mitigated as TSMC's technology leadership, with critical suppliers. TSMC also continues to look for additional manufacturing excellence, and customer partnership create a very sources for single-sourced materials. high bar for competition to undercut simply by lowering prices. Risks Associated with Changes in the Political and Regulatory Environment TSMC's management team closely monitors both domestic and ● Equipment Our operations and ongoing expansion plans depend on our ability to obtain a significant amount of equipment and related services from a limited number of suppliers in a market that is characterized, foreign political and regulatory developments that could have a from time to time, by intense demand, limited supply and long material impact on TSMC's financial operations, and sets related risk delivery cycles. During such times, supplier-specific or industry-wide management procedures. lead times for delivery can be as long as four to ten months or more. Supplier-specific or industry-wide shortages of equipment could In March 2007, the Accounting Research and Development result in longer delivery times. If we are unable to obtain equipment Foundation of the Republic of China issued an interpretation that in a timely manner, we may be unable to fulfill our customers' orders, requires companies to expense the bonus payable to directors, which could negatively impact our financial condition and results of supervisors and employees, rather than recording it as an operations. To better manage equipment lead time, we have appropriation of earnings. The Company has applied this ruling to its implemented various business models with suppliers to shorten the financial statements for the fiscal year beginning on or after January procurement lead time. We also provide our projected demand for 1, 2008. The new requirement will increase the costs of goods sold various items to many of our equipment suppliers to help them plan and operation expenses, and will affect the Company's annual net their production in advance. income. However, the Company will adopt measures such as increasing productivity and cost savings to minimize the impact of this requirement. 6.2.3 Operational Risks Risks Associated with Intellectual Property Rights Our ability to compete successfully and to achieve future growth will depend in part on the continued strength of our intellectual property portfolio. There can be no assurance that, as our business or business models expand into new areas, we will be able to independently Risks Associated with Capacity Expansion To meet customer demand, TSMC increased its annual production develop the technology, trade secrets, software or know-how necessary to conduct our business or that we can do so without capacity by approximately 1.23 million 8-inch equivalent wafers in infringing the intellectual property rights of others. We may have to 2007. The total average billing utilization rate for 2007 was 93%. As rely increasingly on licensed technology from others. To the extent of the date of this Annual Report, the benefits brought about by such that we rely on licenses from others, there can be no assurance that capacity expansion have been in line with TSMC's expectations. TSMC we will be able to obtain all of the licenses we desire in the future on has established systems to evaluate and forecast market demand and terms we consider reasonable or at all. The lack of necessary licenses refers to these forecasts and evaluations when expanding capacity. could expose us to claims for damages and/or injunctions from third Risks Associated with Sales Concentration In 2006 and 2007, our 10 largest customers accounted for 53% and parties, as well as claims for indemnification by our customers in instances where we have contractually agreed to indemnify our customers against damages resulting from infringement claims. We 51%, respectively, of our net sales. In particular, our largest customer have received, from time to time, communications from third parties in 2007 accounted for more than 10% of our net sales. Since a asserting that our technologies, manufacturing processes, the design relatively limited number of customers contribute a significant portion of our revenue, unforeseen loss or significant reduction of a major customer's business may adversely affect TSMC's performance. TSMC mitigates such risk by placing customer partnership in its core strategy, and works closely with customers from end to end to provide the best overall value, so that such unforeseen events are minimized. Risks Associated with Purchase Concentration ● Raw Materials TSMC procures raw materials from multiple sources whenever possible to ensure adequate supplies for volume production and to of the integrated circuits made by us or the use by our customers of semiconductors made by us may infringe their patents or other intellectual property rights. And, because of the nature of the industry, we may continue to receive such communications in the future. In some instances, these disputes have resulted in litigation. While we actively enforce and protect our intellectual property rights, there can be no assurance that our efforts will be adequate to prevent the misappropriation or improper use of the protected technology, trade secret, software or know-how. If we fail to obtain or maintain certain government, technology or intellectual property licenses and, if litigation relating to alleged mitigate purchase concentration risk. However, we procure some of intellectual property matters occurs, it could prevent us from 62 manufacturing or selling particular products or applying particular These SMIC-related matters are still pending in their respective technologies, which could reduce our opportunities to generate forums, and their specific outcome cannot be determined at this revenues. time. Management intends to protect vigorously its intellectual property rights to maintain shareholder value. Risks Associated with Litigations To protect its intellectual property rights, trade secrets and other In April 2004, UniRAM Technology, Inc. filed an action against MoSys intellectual assets, TSMC may initiate, as appropriate, litigation Inc., TSMC and TSMC North America in the U.S. District Court for the against former employees or third parties. As is the case for most Northern District of California, alleging patent infringement and companies in the high-technology industry, TSMC receives from time trade secret misappropriation and seeking injunctive relief and to time notices from third parties alleging that TSMC's technologies, damages. UniRAM later dropped its patent infringement claims designs, and manufacturing processes may infringe patents or other during the course of litigation, but TSMC and TSMC North America's intellectual property rights. TSMC takes these matters seriously, inequitable conduct counterclaim against UniRAM's asserted patents investigates all such claims, and takes appropriate action as the remained. In 2007, the trade secret misappropriation portion of the circumstances require. case went to trial, and in September 2007, a jury rendered a verdict awarding US$30.5 million to UniRAM Technology, Inc. The court held In December 2003, we commenced legal action in several forums a separate bench trial on the inequitable conduct counterclaims in against SMIC and certain of its subsidiaries for several causes of January 2008, but has yet to issue a decision as of the date of this action including but not limited to patent infringement and trade Annual Report.

In September 2007, the court in the California action ruled on TSMC's motion for preliminary injunction. While the court did not grant a full preliminary injunction against SMIC, the court found that TSMC has demonstrated a significant probability of establishing that SMIC retains and is using TSMC Information in SMIC's 0.13µm and smaller technologies that should have been returned under the Settlement Agreement, and there is significant threat of serious irreparable harm to TSMC if SMIC were to disclose or transfer that information before final resolution of the case. Therefore, the court ordered that, effective immediately, SMIC must provide 10 business days advance notice and an opportunity for TSMC to object before disclosing items enumerated in the Court Order to SMIC's third party partners. 63 Changes in Corporate Image and Impact on Company's Crisis Management TSMC has established an excellent corporate image based on its firm For example, during the period from January 1, 2008 to February 29, 2008, the U.S. dollar has depreciated 4.7% against the NT dollar, which may have a material impact on our results of operations.

Risks Associated with Impairment Charges Under R.O.C. GAAP and U.S. GAAP, TSMC is required to evaluate our long-lived assets and intangible assets for impairment whenever there is an indication of impairment. If certain criteria are met, TSMC is required to record an impairment charge. TSMC is also required term debt obligations that are incurred in the normal course of under R.O.C. GAAP and U.S. GAAP to evaluate goodwill for business. In order to limit its exposure to interest rate risks, TSMC impairment at least on an annual basis or whenever a triggering finances its funding needs through issuance of long-term, fixed-rate debt. On the asset side, the primary objective of our investments in fixed income securities is to preserve principal in highly liquid markets. In order to maintain our liquidity profile, the majority of fixed income securities are at the short end of the yield curve. event or an indication of impairment occurs. We currently are not able to estimate the extent or timing of any impairment charge for future years. Any impairment charge required may have a material adverse effect on our net income. ● Foreign Exchange Volatility Over half of our capital expenditures and manufacturing costs are denominated in currencies other than NT dollars, primarily U.S. dollars, Japanese yen, and Euros. More than 90% of our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars and currencies other than NT dollars. Therefore, any significant fluctuation to our disadvantage in such The determination of an impairment charge at any given time is based significantly on our expected results of operations over a number of years subsequent to that time. As a result, an impairment charge is more likely to occur during a period when our operating results are otherwise already depressed. TSMC has established systems to closely monitor and evaluate capacity utilization and exchange rate may have an adverse effect on our financial condition. economic cycle. 64 6.2.5 Hazardous Risks TSMC is committed to maintaining a comprehensive risk management system dedicated to the conservation of natural One or more of TSMC's existing shareholders may, from time to time, dispose of significant numbers of their shares.

Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are noncurrent assets and liabilities, NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006 (Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Specified Otherwise) 1. GENERAL Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (the Company or TSMC), a Republic of China (R.O.C.) corporation, was incorporated 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. respectively. Cash Equivalents Repurchase agreements collateralized by government bonds, asset-backed commercial papers and corporate notes 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 changes in fair value recognized in earnings. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is accounted for using settlement date accounting. Fair value is estimated using valuation techniques incorporating estimates and assumptions that are consistent with prevailing market conditions. When the fair value is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; when the fair value is negative, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had 20,555 and 20,202 employees, respectively. Available-for-Sale Financial Assets 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial statements are presented in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, Business Accounting Law, Guidelines Governing Business Accounting, and accounting principles generally accepted in the R.O.C. For the convenience of readers, the accompanying financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the R.O.C. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language financial statements shall prevail. Significant accounting policies are summarized as follows: Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the aforementioned guidelines, law and principles requires management to make reasonable assumptions and estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. The actual results may differ from management's estimates. Classification of Current and Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities Current assets are assets held for trading purposes and assets expected to be converted to cash, sold or consumed within one year from the balance sheet date. Current liabilities are obligations incurred for trading purposes and obligations expected to be settled within one year from the balance sheet 12 Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. Changes in fair value from subsequent remeasurement are reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity. The corresponding accumulated gains or losses are recognized in earnings when the financial asset is derecognized from the balance sheet. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is accounted for using settlement date accounting. The fair value of structured time deposits is estimated using valuation techniques. Fair value of open- end mutual funds is determined using the net assets value at the end of the year. For debt securities, fair value is determined using the average of bid and asked prices at the end of the year. 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 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 Financial instruments 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 except for structured time deposits which are carried at acquisition cost. Those financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. Gains or losses are recognized at the time of derecognition, impairment or amortization. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is accounted for using settlement date accounting. If there is objective evidence which indicates that a financial asset is impaired, a loss is recognized. If, of equity method investees, net" account. Effective January 1, 2006, pursuant to the revised in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease is clearly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, "Long-term Investments Accounted for Using the attributable to an event which occurred after the impairment loss was recognized, the previously Equity Method" (SFAS No. 5), the cost of an investment shall be analyzed and the cost of investment recognized impairment loss is reversed to the extent of the decrease. The reversal may not result in a in excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired, representing goodwill, shall not be carrying amount that exceeds the amortized cost that would have been determined as if no amortized and instead shall be tested for impairment annually. If the fair value of identifiable net impairment loss had been recognized. Allowance for Doubtful Receivables assets acquired exceeds the cost of investment, the excess shall be proportionately allocated as reductions to fair values of non-current assets (except for financial assets other than investments accounted for using the equity method and deferred income tax assets). The accounting treatment An allowance for doubtful receivables is provided based on a review of the collectibility of notes and for the investment premiums paid before January 1, 2006 is the same as that for goodwill which is accounts receivable. The Company determines the amount of the allowance for doubtful receivables no longer being amortized; while investment discounts continue to be amortized over the remaining by examining the aging analysis of outstanding notes and accounts receivable and current trends in periods. When an indication of impairment is identified, the carrying amount of the investment is the credit quality of its customers as well as its internal credit policies. reduced, with the related impairment loss recognized in earnings. Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Sales Returns and Others When the Company subscribes for additional investee's shares at a percentage different from its The Company recognizes revenue when evidence of an arrangement exists, the rewards of ownership existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment in the investee differs and significant risk of the goods has been transferred to the buyer, price is fixed or determinable, and from the amount of the Company's share of the investee's equity. The Company records such a collectibility is reasonably assured. Provisions for estimated sales returns and others are generally difference as an adjustment to long-term investments with the corresponding amount charged or recorded in the period the related revenue is recognized, based on historical experience, credited to capital surplus. 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's ownership percentages in the investees until such gains or losses are realized through the Company and its customers. Sales agreements typically provide that payment is due 30 days from transactions with third parties. The entire amount of the gains or losses on sales to investees over invoice date for a majority of the customers and 30 to 45 days after the end of the month in which which the Company has a controlling interest is deferred until such gains or losses are realized sales occur for some customers. Since the receivables from sales are collectible within one year and through subsequent sales of the related products to third parties. Gains or losses on sales from equity such transactions are frequent, fair value of the receivables is equivalent to the nominal amount of method investees to the Company are deferred in proportion to the Company's ownership Gains or losses on sales from the Company to equity method investees are deferred in proportion to the cash to be received. Inventories percentages in the investees until they are realized through transactions with third parties. Gains or losses on sales between equity method investees over each of which the Company has control are deferred in proportion to the Company's weighted-average ownership percentage in the investee Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Inventories are recorded at standard cost which records gains or losses. In transactions between equity method investees over either or both of and adjusted to the approximate weighted-average cost at the balance sheet date. Market value which the Company has no control, gains or losses on sales are deferred in proportion to the represents replacement cost for raw materials, supplies and spare parts and net realizable value for multiplication of the Company's weighted-average ownership percentages in the investees.

If, Repurchase agreements collateralized by government bonds, asset-backed commercial papers, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases, for equity securities, the corporate notes, and treasury bills acquired with maturities of less than three months from the date previously recognized impairment loss is reversed to the extent of the decrease and recorded as an of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. The carrying amount approximates fair value. 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 Financial Assets/Liabilities at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss impairment loss was recognized. 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 Held-to-maturity Financial Assets transaction costs expensed as incurred. The derivatives and financial assets are remeasured at fair Financial instruments for which the Company has a positive intention and ability to hold to maturity value subsequently with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. A regular way purchase or sale are categorized as held-to-maturity financial assets and are carried at amortized cost under the of financial assets is accounted for using settlement date accounting. effective interest method except for structured time deposits which are carried at acquisition cost. Fair value is determined as follows: Publicly-traded stocks - closing prices at the end of the year; attributable to the acquisition. Gains or losses are recognized at the time of derecognition, derivatives - using valuation techniques incorporating estimates and assumptions that are consistent impairment or amortization. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is accounted for using Those financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly with prevailing market conditions. When the fair value is positive, the derivative is recognized as a settlement date accounting. financial asset; when the fair value is negative, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.

The reversal may not result in a that are directly attributable to the acquisition. Changes in fair value from subsequent carrying amount that exceeds the amortized cost that would have been determined as if no remeasurement are reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity. The corresponding impairment loss had been recognized. 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 Allowance for Doubtful Receivables date accounting. An allowance for doubtful receivables is provided based on a review of the collectibility of notes and accounts receivable. The Company determines the amount of the allowance for doubtful receivables Fair value is determined as follows: Structured time deposits - using valuation techniques; open-end by examining the aging analysis of outstanding notes and accounts receivable and current trends in mutual funds and money market funds - net asset value at the end of the year; publicly-traded stocks the credit quality of its customers as well as its internal credit policies. - closing prices at the end of the year; and other debt securities - average of bid and asked prices at the end of the year. Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Sales Returns and Others The Company recognizes revenue when evidence of an arrangement exists, the rewards of ownership Cash dividends are recognized as investment income upon resolution of shareholders of an investee and significant risk of the goods has been transferred to the buyer; price is fixed or determinable, and but are accounted for as a reduction to the original cost of investment if such dividends are declared collectibility is reasonably assured. Provisions for estimated sales returns and others are generally on the earnings of the investee attributable to the period prior to the purchase of the investment. recorded in the period the related revenue is recognized, based on historical experience, Stock dividends are recorded as an increase in the number of shares held and do not affect management's judgment, and any known factors that would significantly affect the allowance. 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. 60 Sales prices are determined using fair value taking into account related sales discounts agreed to by Gains or losses on sales from the Company to equity method investees are deferred in proportion to the Company and its customers. Sales agreements typically provide that payment is due 30 days from the Company's ownership percentages in the investees until such gains or losses are realized through invoice date for a majority of the customers and 30 to 45 days after the end of the month in which transactions with third parties. The entire amount of the gains or losses on sales to investees over sales occur for some customers. Since the receivables from sales are collectible within one year and which the Company has a controlling interest is deferred until such gains or losses are realized such transactions are frequent, fair value of the receivables is equivalent to the nominal amount of through subsequent sales of the related products to third parties. Gains or losses on sales from equity the cash to be received. Inventories 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.

Such gains or losses are and adjusted to the approximate weighted-average cost at the balance sheet date. Market value recorded until they are realized through transactions with third parties. 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 If an investee's functional currency is a foreign currency, differences will result from the translation of inventories on hand and writes off inventories that are considered obsolete. Year-end inventories are the investee's financial statements into the reporting currency of the Company. Such differences are evaluated for estimated excess quantities and obsolescence based on a demand forecast within a charged or credited to cumulative translation adjustments, a separate component of shareholders' specific time horizon, which is generally 180 days or less.

If the fair value of identifiable net Property, plant and equipment and assets leased to others are stated at cost less accumulated assets acquired exceeds the cost of investment, the excess shall be proportionately allocated as depreciation. Properties covered by agreements qualifying as capital leases are carried at the lower of reductions to fair values of non-current assets (except for financial assets other than investments the leased equipment's market value or the present value of the minimum lease payments at the accounted for using the equity method and deferred income tax assets). When an indication of inception date of the lease, with the corresponding amount recorded as obligations under capital impairment is identified, the carrying amount of the investment is reduced, with the related leases. When an indication of impairment is identified, any excess of the carrying amount of an asset impairment loss recognized in earnings. 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 When the Company subscribes for additional investee's shares at a percentage different from its recognized as a gain.

Information about financial risk 1) Market risk. The publicly-traded stocks categorized as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are exposed to market price fluctuations. The derivative financial instruments categorized as financial assets/liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are mainly used to hedge the exchange rate fluctuations of foreign-currency assets and liabilities; therefore, the market risk of derivatives will be offset by the foreign exchange risk of these hedged items. Available-for-sale financial assets 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 that the Company's exposure to default by those parties is low. c. VisEra Technology Company, Ltd. (VisEra), an indirect investee accounted for using equity method by TSMC d.
