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, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and 
cash  flows  for  the  years  then  ended.    These  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the  Company’s 
management.    Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial Statements by Certified 
Public  Accountants  and  auditing  standards  generally  accepted  in  the  Republic  of  China.    Those  rules  and 
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial 
statements are free of material misstatement.    An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting 
the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements.    An  audit  also  includes  assessing  the  accounting 
principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall  financial 
statement presentation.    We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

In  our  opinion,  the  financial  statements  referred  to  above  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the  financial 
position of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited as of December 31,  2011 and 2010, and 
the  results  of  its  operations  and  its  cash  flows  for  the  years  then  ended  in  conformity  with  the  Guidelines 
Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, requirements of the Business Accounting 
Law  and  Guidelines  Governing  Business  Accounting  with  respect  to  financial  accounting  standards,  and 
accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China. 

We have also audited, 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,  the  consolidated 
financial statements of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited and subsidiaries as of and for 
the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 on which we have issued an unqualified opinion.

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010 
(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Specified Otherwise) 

  1.  GENERAL 

Taiwan  Semiconductor  Manufacturing  Company  Limited  (the  “Company”  or  “TSMC”),  a  Republic  of 
China (R.O.C.) corporation, was incorporated on February 21, 1987.    The Company is a dedicated foundry 
in the semiconductor industry which engages mainly in the manufacturing, selling, packaging, testing and 
computer-aided  design  of  integrated  circuits  and  other  semiconductor  devices  and  the  manufacturing  of 
masks.    Beginning  in  2010,  the  Company  also  engages  in  the  researching,  developing,  designing, 
manufacturing and selling of solid state lighting devices and related applications products and systems, and 
renewable  energy  and  efficiency  related  technologies  and  products.    In  August  2011,  the  Company 
transferred  its  solid  state  lighting  and  solar  businesses  into  its  wholly-owned,  newly  incorporated 
subsidiaries, TSMC SSL and TSMC Solar, respectively.     

On September 5, 1994, its shares were listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE).    On October 8, 1997, 
TSMC  listed  some  of  its  shares  of  stock  on  the  New  York  Stock  Exchange  (NYSE)  in  the  form  of 
American Depositary Shares (ADSs). 

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had 30,113 and 29,929 employees, respectively. 

  2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The  financial  statements  are  presented  in  conformity  with  the  Guidelines  Governing  the  Preparation  of 
Financial  Reports  by  Securities  Issuers,  Business  Accounting  Law,  Guidelines  Governing  Business 
Accounting, and accounting principles generally accepted in the R.O.C. 

For  the  convenience  of readers, the accompanying  financial statements  have  been  translated  into  English 
from  the  original  Chinese  version  prepared  and  used  in  the  R.O.C.    If  there  is  any  conflict  between  the 
English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, 
the Chinese-language financial statements shall prevail. 

Significant accounting policies are summarized as follows: 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In the second half year of 2011, the Company continually increased its investment in TSMC China for the 
amount  of  NT$6,759,300  thousand,  and  the  Company  has  received  the  approval  from  the  Investment 
Commission of Ministry of Economic Affairs. 

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.

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. 

Movements  of  the difference  between the  cost  of  investments  and  the  Company’s share in  investees’  net 
assets allocated to depreciable assets were as follows:

17.  PENSION PLANS 

The pension mechanism under the Labor Pension Act  (the “Act”) is deemed a defined contribution plan.   
Pursuant  to  the  Act,  the  Company  has  made  monthly  contributions  equal  to  6%  of  each  employee’s 
monthly  salary  to  employees’  pension  accounts  and  recognized  pension  costs  of  NT$1,119,717  thousand 
and NT$964,063 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. 

The Company has a defined benefit plan under the Labor Standards Law that provides benefits based on an 
employee’s length of service and average monthly salary for the six-month period prior to retirement.    The 
Company  contributes  an  amount  equal  to  2%  of  salaries  paid  each  month  to  a  pension  fund  (the  Fund), 
which is administered by the Labor Pension Fund Supervisory Committee (the Committee) and deposited in 
the Committee’s name in the Bank of Taiwan.

Effective in May 2010, the Article 5 of the Income Tax Law of the Republic of China was amended, in 
which the income tax rate of profit-seeking enterprises would be reduced from 20% to 17%.    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.

20.  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

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.

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:

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,

The  Board  of  Directors  also  resolved  to  appropriate  profit  sharing  to  employees  to  be  paid  in  cash  and 
bonus  to  directors  in  the  amounts  of  NT$8,990,026  thousand  and  NT$62,324  thousand  for  2011, 
respectively.    There  is  no  significant  difference  between  the  aforementioned  resolved  amounts  and  the 
amounts charged against earnings of 2011. 

The  appropriations  of  earnings,  profit  sharing  to  employees  and  bonus  to  directors  for  2011  are  to  be 
resolved in the shareholders’ meeting held on June 12, 2012 (expected). 

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

Under  the  Integrated  Income  Tax  System  that  became  effective  on  January  1,  1998,  R.O.C.  resident 
shareholders are allowed a tax credit for their proportionate share of the income tax paid by the Company 
on earnings generated since January 1, 1998.   

21.  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS 

The Company’s Employee Stock Option Plans, consisting of the 2004 Plan, 2003 Plan and 2002 Plan, were 
approved  by  the  SFB  on  January  6,  2005,  October  29,  2003  and  June  25,  2002,  respectively.    The 
maximum number of options authorized to be granted under the 2004 Plan, 2003 Plan and 2002 Plan was 
11,000  thousand,  120,000  thousand  and  100,000  thousand,  respectively,  with  each  option  eligible  to 
subscribe for one common share when exercised.    The options may be granted to qualified employees of 
the  Company  or  any  of  its  domestic  or  foreign  subsidiaries,  in  which  the  Company’s  shareholding  with 
voting rights, directly or indirectly, is more than fifty percent (50%).    The options of all the plans are valid 
for ten years and exercisable at certain percentages subsequent to the second anniversary of the grant date.   
Under the terms of the plans, the options are granted at an exercise price equal to the closing price of the 
Company’s common shares listed on the TSE on the grant date. 

Options of the plans that had never been granted or had been granted but subsequently canceled had expired 
as of December 31, 2011.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

28.  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

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.    As of August 1, 2011, the net book values transferred to TSMC SSL and TSMC Solar 
amounted to NT$2,270,000 thousand and NT$11,180,000 thousand, respectively.
