SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial statements are presented in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, Business Accounting Law, Guidelines Governing Business Accounting, and accounting principles generally accepted in the R.O.C. For the convenience of readers, the accompanying financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the R.O.C. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language financial statements shall prevail. Significant accounting policies are summarized as follows: Foreign-currency Transactions Foreign-currency transactions other than derivative contracts are recorded in New Taiwan dollars at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occur. Exchange gains or losses derived from foreign-currency transactions or monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in earnings. At the balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are revalued at prevailing exchange rates with the resulting gains or losses recognized in earnings. 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. - 9 - Classification of Current and Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities Current assets are assets held for trading purposes and assets expected to be converted to cash, sold or consumed within one year from the balance sheet date. Current liabilities are obligations incurred for trading purposes and obligations expected to be settled within one year from the balance sheet date. Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are noncurrent assets and liabilities, respectively. Cash Equivalents Repurchase agreements collateralized by government bonds acquired with maturities of less than three months from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to their short term nature. Financial Assets/Liabilities at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss Derivatives that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting are initially recognized at fair value, with transaction costs expensed as incurred. The derivatives are remeasured at fair value subsequently with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is accounted for using settlement date accounting. Fair value is estimated using valuation techniques incorporating estimates and assumptions that are consistent with prevailing market conditions. When the fair value is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; when the fair value is negative, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability. Available-for-sale Financial Assets Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. Changes in fair value from subsequent remeasurement are reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. The corresponding accumulated gains or losses are recognized in earnings when the financial asset is derecognized from the balance sheet. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is accounted for using settlement date accounting. The fair value of overseas publicly traded stock is determined using the closing prices at the end of the year. The fair value of debt securities is determined using the average of bid and asked prices at the end of the year. Any difference between the initial carrying amount of a debt security and the amount due at maturity is amortized using the effective interest method, with the amortization recognized in earnings. If there is objective evidence which indicates that a financial asset is impaired, a loss is recognized. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases, for equity securities, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed to the extent of the decrease and recorded as an adjustment to shareholders’ equity; for debt securities, the amount of the decrease is recognized in earnings, provided that the decrease is clearly attributable to an event which occurred after the impairment loss was recognized. Held-to-maturity Financial Assets Debt securities for which the Company has a positive intention and ability to hold to maturity are categorized as held-to-maturity financial assets and are carried at amortized cost. Those financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. Gains or losses are recognized at the time of derecognition, impairment or amortization. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is accounted for using settlement date accounting. - 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 that exceeds the amortized cost that would have been determined as if no impairment loss had been recognized. Financial Assets Carried at Cost Investments for which the Company does not exercise significant influence and that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, such as non-publicly traded stocks and mutual funds, are carried at their original cost. The costs of non-publicly traded stocks and mutual funds are determined using the weighted-average method. If there is objective evidence which indicates that a financial asset is impaired, a loss is recognized. A subsequent reversal of such impairment loss is not allowed. Cash dividends are recognized as investment income upon resolution of shareholders of an investee but are accounted for as a reduction to the original cost of investment if such dividends are declared on the earnings of the investee attributable to the period prior to the purchase of the investment. Stock dividends are recorded as an increase in the number of shares held and do not affect investment income. The cost per share is recalculated based on the new total number of shares. Allowance for Doubtful Receivables An allowance for doubtful receivables is provided based on a review of the collectability of receivables. The Company assesses the collectability of receivables by performing the account aging analysis and examining current trends in the credit quality of its customers. The Company’s provision was originally set at 1% of the amount of outstanding receivables. On January 1, 2011, the Company adopted the third revision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 34, “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (SFAS No. 34).” One of the main revisions is that the impairment of receivables originated by the Company is subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 34. Accordingly, the Company evaluates for indication of impairment of accounts receivable based on an individual and collective basis at the end of each reporting period. When objective evidence indicates that the estimated future cash flow of accounts receivable decreases as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the accounts receivable, such accounts receivable are deemed to be impaired. Because of the Company’s short average collection period, the amount of the impairment loss recognized is the difference between the carrying amount of accounts receivable and estimated future cash flows without considering the discounting effect. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized as bad debt expense which is recorded in the operating expenses - general and administrative. When accounts receivable are considered uncollectable, the amount is written off against the allowance account. Inventories Inventories are recorded at standard cost and adjusted to approximate weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made on an item-by-item basis, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and necessary selling costs. - 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 cost of an investment shall be analyzed and the cost of investment in excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired, representing goodwill, shall not be amortized. If the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the cost of investment, the excess shall be proportionately allocated as reductions to fair values of non-current assets (except for financial assets other than investments accounted for using the equity method and deferred income tax assets). When an indication of impairment is identified, the carrying amount of the investment is reduced, with the related impairment loss recognized in earnings. When the Company subscribes for additional investee’s shares at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment in the investee differs from the amount of the Company’s share of the investee’s equity. The Company records such a difference as an adjustment to long-term investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus. Cash dividends received from an investee shall reduce the carrying amount of the investment. Stock dividends are recorded as an increase in the number of shares held and do not affect investment income. Gains or losses on sales from the Company to equity method investees are deferred in proportion to the Company’s ownership percentages in the investees until such gains or losses are realized through transactions with third parties. The entire amount of the gains or losses on sales to investees over which the Company has a controlling interest is deferred until such gains or losses are realized through subsequent sales of the related products to third parties. Gains or losses on sales from equity method investees to the Company are deferred in proportion to the Company’s ownership percentages in the investees until they are realized through transactions with third parties. Gains or losses on sales between equity method investees over each of which the Company has control are deferred in proportion to the Company’s weighted-average ownership percentage in the investee which records gains or losses. In transactions between equity method investees over either or both of which the Company has no control, gains or losses on sales are deferred in proportion to the multiplication of the Company’s weighted-average ownership percentages in the investees. Such gains or losses are deferred until they are realized through transactions with third parties. If an investee’s functional currency is a foreign currency, differences will result from the translation of the investee’s financial statements into the reporting currency of the Company. Such differences are charged or credited to cumulative translation adjustments, a separate component of shareholders’ equity. 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 subsequent period, the amount previously recognized as impairment would be reversed and recognized as a gain. However, the adjusted amount may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, as if no impairment loss had been recognized. Significant additions, renewals and betterments incurred during the construction period are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated service lives: buildings - 10 to 20 years; machinery and equipment - 5 years; and office equipment - 3 to 5 years. Upon sale or disposal of property, plant and equipment and assets leased to others, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are deducted from the corresponding accounts, with any gain or loss recorded as non-operating gains or losses in the year of sale or disposal. - 12 - Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid for acquisition over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is no longer amortized and instead is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If an event occurs or circumstances change which indicate that the fair value of goodwill is more likely than not below its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. A subsequent reversal of such impairment loss is not allowed. Deferred charges consist of technology license fees, software and system design costs and patent and others. The amounts are amortized over the following periods: Technology license fees - the estimated life of the technology or the term of the technology transfer contract; software and system design costs - 3 years; patent and others - the economic life or contract period. When an indication of impairment is identified, any excess of the carrying amount of an asset over its recoverable amount is recognized as a loss. If the recoverable amount increases in a subsequent period, the previously recognized impairment loss would be reversed and recognized as a gain. However, the adjusted amount may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of amortization, as if no impairment loss had been recognized. Expenditures related to research activities and those related to development activities that do not meet the criteria for capitalization are charged to expense when incurred. Pension Costs For employees who participate in defined contribution pension plans, pension costs are recorded based on the actual contributions made to employees’ individual pension accounts during their service periods. For employees who participate in defined benefit pension plans, pension costs are recorded based on actuarial calculations. Income Tax The Company applies an inter-period allocation for its income tax whereby deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax effects of temporary differences and unused tax credits. Valuation allowances are provided to the extent, if any, that it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be realized. A deferred tax asset or liability is classified as current or noncurrent in accordance with the classification of its related asset or liability. However, if a deferred tax asset or liability does not relate to an asset or liability in the financial statements, then it is classified as either current or noncurrent based on the expected length of time before it is realized or settled. Any tax credits arising from purchases of machinery and equipment, research and development expenditures and personnel training expenditures are recognized using the flow-through method. Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision. Income tax on unappropriated earnings at a rate of 10% is expensed in the year of shareholder approval which is the year subsequent to the year the earnings are generated. Stock-based Compensation Employee stock options that were granted or modified in the period from January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2007 are accounted for by the interpretations issued by the Accounting Research and Development Foundation of the Republic of China. The Company adopted the intrinsic value method and any compensation cost determined using this method is recognized in earnings over the employee vesting period. Employee stock option plans that were granted or modified after December 31, 2007 are accounted for using fair value method in accordance with SFAS No. 39, “Accounting for Share-based Payment.” The Company did not grant or modify any employee stock options since January 1, 2008. - 13 - Treasury Stock Treasury stock represents the outstanding shares that the Company buys back from market, which is stated at cost and shown as a deduction in shareholders’ equity. When the Company retires treasury stock, the treasury stock account is reduced and the common stock as well as the capital surplus - additional paid-in capital are reversed on a pro rata basis. When the book value of the treasury stock exceeds the sum of the par value and additional paid-in capital, the difference is charged to capital surplus - treasury stock transactions and to retained earnings for any remaining amount. When the Company resells the treasury stock, the treasury stock shall be reversed, and if the selling price is greater than the book value, the amount in excess of the book value shall be credited to additional paid-in capital - treasury stock. Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Sales Returns and Others The Company recognizes revenue when evidence of an arrangement exists, the rewards of ownership and significant risk of the goods has been transferred to the buyer, price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Provisions for estimated sales returns and other allowances are recorded in the year the related revenue is recognized, based on historical experience, management’s judgment, and any known factors that would significantly affect the allowance. Sales prices are determined using fair value taking into account related sales discounts agreed to by the Company and its customers. Sales agreements typically provide that payment is due 30 days from invoice date for a majority of the customers and 30 to 45 days after the end of the month in which sales occur for some customers. Since the receivables from sales are collectable 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. Spin-off In accordance with the Company’s organization realignment, the Company contributed net assets, including cash, to the newly formed subsidiaries in exchange for all of the shares of those subsidiaries. The net assets transferred are reflected at their net book value without recognizing any gain or loss. 3. ACCOUNTING CHANGES On January 1, 2011, the Company prospectively adopted the newly revised SFAS No. 34, “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.” The main revisions include (1) finance lease receivables are now covered by SFAS No. 34; (2) the scope of the applicability of SFAS No. 34 to insurance contracts is amended; (3) loans and receivables originated by the Company are now covered by SFAS No. 34; (4) additional guidelines on impairment testing of financial assets carried at amortized cost when the debtor has financial difficulties and the terms of obligations have been modified; and (5) accounting treatment by a debtor for modifications in the terms of obligations. This accounting change did not have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011. On January 1, 2011, the Company adopted the newly issued SFAS No. 41, “Operating Segments.” The statement requires identification and disclosure of operating segments on the basis of how the Company’s chief operating decision maker regularly reviews information in order to allocate resources and assess performance. This statement supersedes SFAS No. 20, “Segment Reporting.” The Company conformed to the disclosure requirements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011. The information for the year ended December 31, 2010 has been recast to reflect the new segment reporting requirement. - 14 -  4.

For the renewable energy and efficiency related businesses development, the Company established wholly-owned subsidiaries, TSMC Solar NA, TSMC Solar Europe and TSMC Lighting NA, in the third quarter of 2010. In addition, to foster a stronger sense of corporate entrepreneurship and facilitate business specializations in order to strengthen overall profitability and operational efficiency, the Company transferred its solid state lighting and solar businesses into its wholly-owned, newly incorporated subsidiaries, TSMC SSL and TSMC Solar, in August 2011. Furthermore, the Company adjusted its investment structure by transferring TSMC Lighting NA to TSMC SSL and transferring Motech, TSMC Solar Europe, TSMC Solar NA and part of VTAF III to TSMC Solar. As of August 1, 2011, the net book values of the Company’s certain assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity, including cash, contributed to TSMC SSL and TSMC Solar in exchange for all the shares of TSMC SSL and TSMC Solar amounted to NT$2,270,000 thousand and NT$11,180,000 thousand, respectively. - 17 - For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company increased its investment in VTAF III for the amount of NT$1,862,278 thousand, and the Company’s percentage of ownership in VTAF III increased from 98% to 99%. Due to the aforementioned transfer and the effect of the subsequent cash injection of NT$135,297 thousand, the Company’s percentage of ownership further decreased to 53%. In February 2010, the Company subscribed to 75,316 thousand shares of Motech through a private placement for NT$6,228,661 thousand; after the subscription, the Company’s percentage of ownership in Motech was 20%. Transfer of the aforementioned common shares within three years is prohibited unless permitted by other related regulations. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, equity in earnings/losses of equity method investees was a net gain of NT$3,778,083 thousand and NT$7,111,443 thousand, respectively. Related equity in earnings/losses of equity method investees were determined based on the audited financial statements, except those of Emerging Alliance, TSMC Europe, TSMC Japan and TSMC Korea for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. The Company believes that, had the aforementioned equity method investees’ financial statements been audited, any adjustments arising would have no material effect on the Company’s financial statements. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the quoted market price of publicly traded stocks in unrestricted investments accounted for using the equity method (VIS and GUC) were NT$11,273,200 thousand and NT$14,993,626 thousand, respectively.

The last amended income tax rate of 17% is retroactively applied on January 1, 2010. The Company recalculated its deferred tax assets in accordance with the new amended Article and adjusted the resulting difference as an income tax expense in 2010. The Company evaluated the effect of Alternative Minimum Tax and applicable year of the profits generated from projects exempt from income tax for a five-year period. As the Company plans to apply the tax-exempt income in later years, income tax payable is anticipated to increase and the Company will utilize available investment tax credits as an offset against income taxes. Since more investment tax credits can be utilized, valuation allowance has been adjusted down accordingly. Under the Article 10 of the Statute for Industrial Innovation (SII) legislated, effective in May 2010, a profit-seeking enterprise may deduct up to 15% of its research and development expenditures from its income tax payable for the year in which these expenditures are incurred, but this deduction should not exceed 30% of the income tax payable for that year. This incentive is retroactive to January 1, 2010 and effective until December 31, 2019. d. Integrated income tax information: The balance of the imputation credit account as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 was NT$4,003,228 thousand and NT$1,669,533 thousand, respectively. The estimated and actual creditable ratios for distribution of earnings of 2011 and 2010 were 6.67% and 4.96%, respectively. The imputation credit allocated to shareholders is based on its balance as of the date of dividend distribution. The estimated creditable ratio may change when the actual distribution of the imputation credit is made. e. All earnings generated prior to December 31, 1997 have been appropriated. f.

SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY As of December 31, 2011, 1,092,313 thousand ADSs of the Company were traded on the NYSE. The number of common shares represented by the ADSs was 5,461,567 thousand (one ADS represents five common shares). Capital surplus can be used to offset a deficit under the Company Law. However, the capital surplus generated from donations and the excess of the issuance price over the par value of capital stock (including the stock issued for new capital, mergers, convertible bonds and the surplus from treasury stock transactions) may be appropriated as stock dividends, which are limited to a certain percentage of the Company’s paid-in capital. In addition, the capital surplus from long-term investments may not be used for any purpose. However, according to the revised Company Law, effective January 2012, the aforementioned capital surplus generated from donations and the excess of the issuance price over the par value of capital stock can also be used to distribute cash in proportion to original shareholders’ holding. Capital surplus consisted of the following: Additional paid-in capital From merger From convertible bonds From long-term investments Donations December 31 2011 2010 $ 23,774,250 $ 23,628,908 22,805,390 22,804,510 8,893,190 8,892,847 370,891 374,695 55 55 $ 55,846,357 $ 55,698,434 The Company’s Articles of Incorporation provide that, when allocating the net profits for each fiscal year, the Company shall first offset its losses in previous years and then set aside the following items accordingly: a. Legal capital reserve at 10% of the profits left over, until the accumulated legal capital reserve equals the Company’s paid-in capital; b. Special capital reserve in accordance with relevant laws or regulations or as requested by the authorities in charge; c. Bonus to directors and profit sharing to employees of the Company of not more than 0.3% and not less than 1% of the remainder, respectively. Directors who also serve as executive officers of the Company are not entitled to receive the bonus to directors. The Company may issue profit sharing to employees in stock of an affiliated company meeting the conditions set by the Board of Directors or, by the person duly authorized by the Board of Directors; d. Any balance left over shall be allocated according to the resolution of the shareholders’ meeting. The Company’s Articles of Incorporation also provide that profits of the Company may be distributed by way of cash dividend and/or stock dividend. However, distribution of profits shall be made preferably by way of cash dividend. Distribution of profits may also be made by way of stock dividend; provided that the ratio for stock dividend shall not exceed 50% of the total distribution. Any appropriations of the profits are subject to shareholders’ approval in the following year. - 25 - The Company accrued profit sharing to employees based on certain percentage of net income during the year, which amounted to NT$8,990,026 thousand and NT$10,908,338 thousand for the years ended December 2011 and 2010, respectively. Bonuses to directors were expensed based on estimated amount of payment. If the actual amounts subsequently resolved by the shareholders differ from the estimated amounts, the differences are recorded in the year of shareholders’ resolution as a change in accounting estimate. If profit sharing is resolved to be distributed to employees in stock, the number of shares is determined by dividing the amount of profit sharing by the closing price (after considering the effect of dividends) of the shares on the day preceding the shareholders’ meeting. The Company no longer has supervisors since January 1, 2007. The required duties of supervisors are being fulfilled by the Audit Committee. According to the revised Company Law, effective January 2012, the appropriation for legal capital reserve shall be made until the reserve equals the Company’s paid-in capital. The reserve may be used to offset a deficit, or be distributed as dividends in cash or stocks for the portion in excess of 25% of the paid-in capital if the Company incurs no loss. A special capital reserve equivalent to the net debit balance of the other components of shareholders’ equity (for example, cumulative translation adjustments and unrealized loss on financial instruments, but excluding treasury stock) shall be made from unappropriated earnings pursuant to existing regulations promulgated by the Securities and Futures Bureau (SFB). Any special reserve appropriated may be reversed to the extent that the net debit balance reverses. The appropriations of earnings for 2010 and 2009 had been approved in the shareholders’ meetings held on June 9, 2011 and June 15, 2010, respectively. The appropriations and dividends per share were as follows: Appropriation of Earnings For Fiscal For Fiscal Year 2009 Year 2010 Dividends Per Share (NT$) For Fiscal For Fiscal Year 2010 Year 2009 Legal capital reserve Special capital reserve Cash dividends to shareholders $ 16,160,501 5,120,827 77,730,236 $ 8,921,784 1,313,047 77,708,120 $3.00 $3.00 $ 99,011,564 $ 87,942,951 TSMC’s profit sharing to employees to be paid in cash and bonus to directors in the amounts of NT$10,908,338 thousand and NT$51,131 thousand for 2010, respectively, and profit sharing to employees to be paid in cash and bonus to directors in the amounts of NT$6,691,338 thousand and NT$67,692 thousand for 2009, respectively, had been approved in the shareholders’ meeting held on June 9, 2011 and June 15, 2010, respectively. The resolved amounts of the profit sharing to employees and bonus to directors were consistent with the resolutions of meeting of the Board of Directors held on February 15, 2011 and February 9, 2010 and same amount had been charged against earnings of 2010 and 2009, respectively. - 26 - The appropriations of earnings for 2011 had been resolved in the meeting of the Board of Directors held on February 14, 2012.

No compensation cost was recognized under the intrinsic value method for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. Had the Company used the fair value based method to evaluate the options using the Black-Scholes model, the assumptions at the various grant dates and pro forma results of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 would have been as follows: Assumptions: Expected dividend yield Expected volatility Risk free interest rate Expected life 1.00%-3.44% 43.77%-46.15% 3.07%-3.85% 5 years - 28 - Net income: Net income as reported Pro forma net income Earnings per share (EPS) - after income tax (NT$): Basic EPS as reported Pro forma basic EPS Diluted EPS as reported Pro forma diluted EPS 22.

EARNINGS PER SHARE EPS is computed as follows: Year ended December 31, 2011 Basic EPS Number of EPS (NT$) Amounts (Numerator) After Before Income Tax Income Tax Shares (Denominator) (In Thousands) Before Income Tax After Income Tax Earnings available to common shareholders Effect of dilutive potential common shares $ 144,707,844 - $ 134,201,279 - 25,914,076 10,606 $ 5.58 $ 5.18 Diluted EPS Earnings available to common shareholders (including effect of dilutive potential common shares) Year ended December 31, 2010 Basic EPS $ 144,707,844 $ 134,201,279 25,924,682 $ 5.58 $ 5.18 Earnings available to common shareholders Effect of dilutive potential common shares $ 169,290,204 - $ 161,605,009 - 25,905,832 13,982 $ 6.53 $ 6.24 Diluted EPS Earnings available to common shareholders (including effect of dilutive potential common shares) $ 169,290,204 $ 161,605,009 25,919,814 $ 6.53 $ 6.23 - 29 - If the Company may settle the obligation by cash, by issuing shares, or in combination of both cash and shares, profit sharing to employees which will be settled in shares should be included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding in calculation of diluted EPS, if the shares have a dilutive effect. The number of shares is estimated by dividing the amount of profit sharing to employees in stock by the closing price (after considering the dilutive effect of dividends) of the common shares on the balance sheet date. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares needs to be included in the calculation of diluted EPS until the shares of profit sharing to employees are resolved in the shareholders’ meeting in the following year. The average number of shares outstanding for EPS calculation has been considered for the effect of retrospective adjustments. This adjustment caused each of the basic and diluted after income tax EPS for the year ended December 31, 2010 to remain at NT$6.24 and NT$6.23, respectively. 24. DISCLOSURES FOR FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS a. Fair values of financial instruments were as follows: Assets Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Available-for-sale financial assets Held-to-maturity financial assets Financial assets carried at cost Liabilities Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Bonds payable (including current portion) Other long-term payables (including current portion) December 31 2011 Carrying Amount Fair Value 2010 Carrying Amount Fair Value $ 14,925 2,617,134 1,403,427 497,835 $ 14,925 2,617,134 1,426,474 - $ - 4,951,323 6,202,287 497,835 $ - 4,951,323 6,278,054 - - 22,500,000 - 22,597,115 7,834 4,500,000 7,834 4,538,660 - - 718,637 718,637 b. Methods and assumptions used in the estimation of fair values of financial instruments 1) The aforementioned financial instruments do not include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, other financial assets, refundable deposits, short-term loans, payables and guarantee deposits. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. 2) Except for derivatives, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity financial assets were based on their quoted market prices. 3) The fair values of those derivatives are determined using valuation techniques incorporating estimates and assumptions that were consistent with prevailing market conditions. 4) Financial assets carried at cost have no quoted prices in an active market and entail an unreasonably high cost to obtain verifiable fair values. Therefore, no fair value is presented. 5) Fair value of bonds payable was based on their quoted market price. 6) Fair value of other long-term payables was based on the present value of expected cash flows, which approximates their carrying amount. - 30 - c. Valuation gains (losses) arising from changes in fair value of derivatives contracts determined using valuation techniques were recognized as a net gain of NT$14,925 thousand and a net loss of NT$7,834 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. d. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, financial assets exposed to fair value interest rate risk were NT$1,418,352 thousand and NT$7,235,336 thousand, respectively, financial liabilities exposed to fair value interest rate risk were NT$48,426,528 thousand and NT$35,416,471 thousand, respectively. e. Movements of the unrealized gains or losses on financial instruments for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2011 From Available- for-sale Financial Assets Equity- method Investments Total Balance, beginning of year Recognized directly in shareholders’ equity Removed from shareholders’ equity and recognized in earnings Effect of spin-off $ (395,306) (1,077,844) $ 504,595 (165,851) $ 109,289 (1,243,695) (35,151) (3,298) - - (35,151) (3,298) Balance, end of year $ (1,511,599) $ 338,744 $ (1,172,855) Year Ended December 31, 2010 From Available- for-sale Financial Assets Equity- method Investments Total Balance, beginning of year Recognized directly in shareholders’ equity $ 46,672 (441,978) $ 406,949 97,646 $ 453,621 (344,332) Balance, end of year $ (395,306) $ 504,595 $ 109,289 f. Information about financial risks 1) Market risk. The derivative financial instruments categorized as financial assets/liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are mainly used to hedge the market exchange rate fluctuations of foreign-currency assets and liabilities; therefore, the market exchange rate risk of derivatives will be offset by the foreign exchange risk of these hedged items. Available-for-sale financial assets and held-to-maturity financial assets held by the Company are mainly fixed-interest-rate debt securities and overseas publicly traded stock; therefore, the fluctuations in market interest rates and market prices will result in changes in fair values 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 Company evaluated whether the financial instruments for any possible counter-parties or third-parties are reputable financial institutions, business enterprises, and government agencies and accordingly, the Company believed that the Company’s exposure to credit risk was not significant. 3) Liquidity risk. The Company has sufficient operating capital and bank facilities to meet cash needs upon settlement of derivative financial instruments and bonds payable. Therefore, the liquidity risk is low. - 31 - 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.

SIGNIFICANT COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Significant commitments and contingencies of the Company as of December 31, 2011, excluding those disclosed in other notes, were as follows: a. Under a technical cooperation agreement with Industrial Technology Research Institute, the R.O.C. Government or its designee approved by the Company can use up to 35% of the Company’s capacity if the Company’s outstanding commitments to its customers are not prejudiced. The term of this agreement is for five years beginning from January 1, 1987 and is automatically renewed for successive periods of five years unless otherwise terminated by either party with one year prior notice. b. Under several foundry agreements, the Company shall reserve a portion of its production capacity for certain major customers that have guarantee deposits with the Company. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had a total of US$13,039 thousand of guarantee deposits. c. Under a Shareholders Agreement entered into with Philips and EDB Investments Pte Ltd. on March 30, 1999, the parties formed a joint venture company, SSMC, which is an integrated circuit foundry in Singapore. The Company’s equity interest in SSMC was 32%. Nevertheless, Philips parted with its semiconductor company which was renamed as NXP B.V. in September 2006. The Company and NXP B.V. purchased all the SSMC shares owned by EDB Investments Pte Ltd. pro rata according to the Shareholders Agreement on November 15, 2006. After the purchase, the Company and NXP B.V. currently own approximately 39% and 61% of the SSMC shares respectively. The Company and Philips (now NXP B.V.) are required, in the aggregate, to purchase at least 70% of SSMC’s capacity, but the Company alone is not required to purchase more than 28% of the capacity. If any party defaults on the commitment and the capacity utilization of SSMC fall below a specific percentage of its capacity, the defaulting party is required to compensate SSMC for all related unavoidable costs. d. In August 2006, TSMC filed a lawsuit against Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation, SMIC (Shanghai) and SMIC Americas (aggregately referred to as “SMIC”) in the Superior Court of California for Alameda County for breach of a 2005 agreement that settled an earlier trade secret misappropriation and patent infringement litigation between the parties, as well as for trade secret misappropriation, seeking injunctive relief and monetary damages. In September 2006, SMIC filed a cross-complaint against TSMC in the same court alleging breach of settlement agreement, implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. SMIC also filed a civil action against TSMC in November 2006 with the Beijing People’s High Court alleging defamation and breach of good faith. On June 10, 2009, the Beijing People’s High Court ruled in favor of TSMC and dismissed SMIC’s lawsuit. On November 4, 2009, after a two-month trial, a jury in the California action found SMIC to have both breached the 2005 settlement agreement and misappropriated TSMC’s trade secrets. TSMC has subsequently settled both lawsuits with SMIC. Pursuant to the new settlement agreement, the parties have agreed to the entry of a stipulated judgment in favor of TSMC in the California action, and to the dismissal of SMIC’s appeal against the Beijing High Court’s finding in favor of TSMC. Under the new settlement agreement and the related stipulated judgment, SMIC has agreed to make cash payments - 36 - by installments to TSMC totaling US$200 million, which are in addition to the US$135 million previously paid to TSMC under the 2005 settlement agreement, and, conditional upon relevant government regulatory approvals, to issue to TSMC a total of 1,789,493,218 common shares of Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation and a three-year warrant to purchase 695,914,030 common shares (subject to adjustment) of Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation at HK$1.30 per share (subject to adjustment). TSMC has received the approval from the Investment Commission of Ministry of Economic Affairs and acquired the above mentioned common shares in July 2010, which are recorded within available for sale financial assets, and obtained the subsequent cash settlement income in accordance with the agreement. e. In June 2010, Keranos, LLC. filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging that TSMC, TSMC North America, and several other leading technology companies infringe three expired U.S. patents. In response, TSMC, TSMC North America, and several co-defendants in the Texas case filed a lawsuit against Keranos in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in November 2010, seeking a judgment declaring that they did not infringe the asserted patents, and that those patents are invalid. These two litigations have been consolidated into a single case in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The outcome cannot be determined at this time. f. In December 2010, Ziptronix, Inc. filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California accusing TSMC, TSMC North America and one other company of allegedly infringing six U.S. patents. This litigation is in its very early stages and therefore the outcome of the case cannot be determined at this time. 29. SPIN-OFF BUSINESS INFORMATION To foster a stronger sense of corporate entrepreneurship and facilitate business specializations in order to strengthen overall profitability and operational efficiency, the Company transferred its solid state lighting and solar businesses into its wholly-owned, newly incorporated subsidiaries, TSMC SSL and TSMC Solar, on August 1, 2011.
