INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited

We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheets of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of income and cash flows for the nine months then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these financial statements based on our reviews.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with Statement on Auditing Standards No. 36, “Review of Financial Statements,” issued by the Auditing Standards Committee of the Accounting Research and Development Foundation of the Republic of China. A review consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be 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 reviewed, in accordance with Statement on Auditing Standards No. 36, the consolidated financial statements of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited and subsidiaries as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 on which we have issued an unqualified review report.

October 21, 2011

Notice to Readers

The accompanying financial statements are intended only to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdictions. The standards, procedures and practices to review such financial statements are those generally accepted and applied in the Republic of China.

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 AND 2010

(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Specified Otherwise)

(Reviewed, Not Audited)

 

 

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 September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had 29,920 and 28,953 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.

 

- 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 period. The fair value of debt securities is determined using the average of bid and asked prices at the end of the period.

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. Companies are required to evaluate 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.

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 period 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 period’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. While disposing of the treasury stock, the treasury stock shall be reversed, and if the disposal value 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 period the related revenue is recognized, based on historical experience, management’s judgment, and any known factors that would significantly affect the allowance.

Sales prices are determined using fair value taking into account related sales discounts agreed to by the Company and its customers. Sales agreements typically provide that payment is due 30 days from invoice date for a majority of the customers and 30 to 45 days after the end of the month in which sales occur for some customers. Since the receivables from sales are collectible within one year and such transactions are frequent, fair value of the receivables is equivalent to the nominal amount of the cash to be received.

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 nine months ended September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2011. The information for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 has been recast to reflect the new segment reporting requirement.

(Concluded)

In the third quarter of 2011, the Company increased its investment in TSMC China for the amount of NT$2,176,000 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%. Primarily due to the aforementioned transfer, the Company’s percentage of ownership further decreased to 52%.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, equity in earnings/losses of equity method investees was a net gain of NT$3,531,943 thousand and NT$4,677,062 thousand, respectively. Related equity in earnings/losses of equity method investees were determined based on the reviewed financial statements, except those of Emerging Alliance, TSMC Europe, TSMC Japan and TSMC Korea for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and those of VTAF II, Emerging Alliance, TSMC Europe, TSMC Japan and TSMC Korea for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The Company believes that, had the aforementioned equity method investees’ financial statements been reviewed, any adjustments arising would have no material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

As of September 30, 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$12,574,108 thousand and NT$13,789,014 thousand, respectively.

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.

Under Article 10 of the Statute for Industrial Innovation (SII) legislated and 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 period in which these expenditures are incurred, but this deduction should not exceed 30% of the income tax payable for that period. This incentive is retroactive to January 1, 2010 and effective until December 31, 2019.

Capital surplus can only be used to offset a deficit under the Company Law. However, the capital surplus generated from donations and the excess of the issuance price over the par value of capital stock (including the stock issued for new capital, mergers, convertible bonds and the surplus from treasury stock transactions) may be appropriated as stock dividends, which 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.

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 period, which amounted to NT$6,887,967 thousand and NT$8,162,440 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Bonuses to directors were accrued 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.

The appropriation for legal capital reserve shall be made until the reserve equals the Company’s paid-in capital. The reserve may be used to offset a deficit, or be distributed as dividends and bonuses for the portion in excess of 50% of the paid-in capital if the Company has no unappropriated earnings and the reserve balance has exceeded 50% of the Company’s paid-in capital. The Company Law also prescribes that, when the reserve has reached 50% of the Company’s paid-in capital, up to 50% of the reserve may be transferred to capital.

 

- 26 -


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:

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.

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.

(Concluded)

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 nine months ended September 30, 2010 to remain at NT$4.67 and NT$4.66, respectively.

  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.

 

  c. The changes in fair value of derivatives contracts for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 estimated using valuation techniques were recognized as a net gain of NT$409,181 thousand and a net loss of NT$59,147 thousand, respectively.

 

  d. As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, financial assets exposed to fair value interest rate risk were NT$2,237,177 thousand and NT$8,308,027 thousand, respectively, financial liabilities exposed to fair value interest rate risk were NT$58,693,483 thousand and NT$42,169,530 thousand, respectively.

 

  e. Movements of the unrealized gains or losses on financial instruments for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

  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.

 

  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 September 30, 2011, excluding those disclosed in other notes, were as follows:

 

  a. Under a technical cooperation agreement with ITRI, 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 September 30, 2011, the Company had a total of US$14,051 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 and obtained the subsequent cash settlement income in accordance with the agreement.

 

- 36 -


  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

Meet the criteria for hedge accounting

Xintec monitors and manages the financial risk through the analysis of business environment and evaluation of entity’s financial risks. Further, Xintec seeks to reduce the effects of future cash flow related interest rate exposures by primarily using derivative financial instruments.

Xintec is exposed to interest rate risk because its long-term bank loans bear floating interest rates. Accordingly, Xintec enters into interest rate swap contract to hedge such a cash flow interest rate risk. As of September 30, 2011, the outstanding interest rate swap contract of Xintec consisted of the following:

Independent Accountants’ Review Report


INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the nine months then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with Statement on Auditing Standards No. 36, “Review of Financial Statements,” issued by the Auditing Standards Committee of the Accounting Research and Development Foundation of the Republic of China. A review consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.

October 21, 2011

Notice to Readers

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are intended only to present the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdictions. The standards, procedures and practices to review such consolidated financial statements are those generally accepted and applied in the Republic of China.

For the convenience of readers, the accountants’ review report and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language accountants’ review report and consolidated financial statements shall prevail.

To foster a stronger sense of corporate entrepreneurship and facilitate business specializations in order to strengthen overall profitability and operational efficiency, TSMC transferred its solid state lighting and solar businesses into its wholly-owned, newly incorporated subsidiaries, TSMC SSL and TSMC Solar, in August 2011.

TSMC together with its subsidiaries are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Company.”

Minority interests in the aforementioned subsidiaries are presented as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

Foreign-currency Transactions and Translation of Foreign-currency Financial Statements

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.

The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the following exchange rates: Assets and liabilities - spot rates at period-end; shareholders’ equity - historical rates; income and expenses - average rates during the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with the aforementioned guidelines and principles requires management to make reasonable assumptions and estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. The actual results may differ from management’s estimates.

Classification of Current and Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities

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 and corporate 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.

 

- 11 -


Available-for-sale Financial Assets

Investments designated as available-for-sale financial assets include debt securities and equity securities. Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. Changes in fair value from subsequent remeasurement are reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. The corresponding accumulated gains or losses are recognized in earnings when the financial asset is derecognized from the balance sheet. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is accounted for using settlement date accounting.

Fair value is determined as follows: Money market funds - net asset values at the end of the period; publicly traded stocks - closing prices at the end of the period; and other debt securities - average of bid and asked prices at the end of the period.

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.

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.

Hedging Derivative Financial Instruments

Hedge derivatives are mainly derivatives instruments that are for cash flow hedge purposes and determined to be an effective hedge. The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognized in shareholders’ equity. The amount recognized in shareholders’ equity is recognized in profit or loss in the same period or period during which the hedged forecast transaction or an asset or liability arising from the hedged forecast transaction affects profit or loss. However, if all or a portion of a loss recognized in shareholders’ equity is not expected to be recovered in the future, the amount that is not expected to be recovered is reclassified into profit or loss.

 

- 12 -


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.

The accounting treatment for cash dividends and stock dividends arising from financial assets carried at cost is the same as that for cash and stock dividends arising from available-for-sale financial assets.

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.

TSMC’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. Companies are required to evaluate 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.

 

- 13 -


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.

Gains or losses on sales from the Company to equity method investees or from equity method investees to the Company 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.

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. Properties covered by agreements qualifying as capital leases are carried at the lower of the leased equipment’s market value or the present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception date of the lease, with the corresponding amount recorded as obligations under capital leases. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of property, plant and equipment are capitalized as part of the cost of those assets. When an indication of impairment is identified, any excess of the carrying amount of an asset over its recoverable amount is recognized as a loss. If the recoverable amount increases in a subsequent period, the amount previously recognized as impairment would be reversed and recognized as a gain. However, the adjusted amount may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, as if no impairment loss had been recognized. Significant additions, renewals and betterments incurred during the construction period are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated service lives: land improvements - 20 years; buildings - 10 to 20 years; machinery and equipment - 3 to 5 years; office equipment - 3 to 15 years; and leased assets - 20 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 period of sale or disposal.

When property, plant and equipment are determined to be idle or useless, they are transferred to idle assets at the lower of the net realizable value or carrying amount. Depreciation on the idle assets is provided continuously, and the idle assets are tested for impairment on a periodical basis.

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.

 

- 14 -


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 - 2 to 5 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, net operating loss carryforwards and unused tax credits. Valuation allowances are provided to the extent, if any, that it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be realized. A deferred tax asset or liability is classified as current or noncurrent in accordance with the classification of its related asset or liability. However, if a deferred tax asset or liability does not relate to an asset or liability in the financial statements, then it is classified as either current or noncurrent based on the expected length of time before it is realized or settled.

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 period’s tax provision.

Income tax on unappropriated earnings (excluding earnings from foreign consolidated subsidiaries) 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.

 

- 15 -


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. While disposing of the treasury stock, the treasury stock shall be reversed, and if the disposal value 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 period the related revenue is recognized, based on historical experience, management’s judgment, and any known factors that would significantly affect the allowance.

Sales prices are determined using fair value taking into account related sales discounts agreed to by the Company and its customers. Sales agreements typically provide that payment is due 30 days from invoice date for a majority of the customers and 30 to 45 days after the end of the month in which sales occur for some customers. Since the receivables from sales are collectible within one year and such transactions are frequent, fair value of the receivables is equivalent to the nominal amount of the cash to be received.

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 consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2011. The information for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 has been recast to reflect the new segment reporting requirement.

The Company has no controlling interest over the financial, operating and personnel hiring policy decisions of GUC and its subsidiaries since July 2011. However, the Company has significant influence over them and therefore, they are no longer consolidated and are accounted for using the equity method.

The Company originally owned 43% of Aiconn, which was merged with Accton Wireless Broadband Corp. (Accton) in March 2011. As a result of the merger, the Company’s equity investment in Aiconn was exchanged for equity of Accton and the Company did not exercise significant influence over Accton. Therefore, the aforementioned investment was reclassified to financial assets carried at cost.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, equity in earnings/losses of equity method investees was a net gain of NT$916,644 thousand and NT$1,608,430 thousand, respectively. Related equity in earnings/losses of equity method investees were determined based on the reviewed financial statements, except for Aiconn and Mcube. The Company believes that, had the aforementioned equity method investees’ financial statements been reviewed, any adjustments arising would have no material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The quoted market price of publicly traded stocks in unrestricted investments accounted for using the equity method of VIS and GUC was NT$12,574,108 thousand as of September 30, 2011 and of VIS NT$8,606,662 thousand as of September 30, 2010.

Interest rate swap contract

   $ 356       $ 1,065   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

The Company’s long-term bank loans bear floating interest rates; therefore, changes in the market interest rate may cause future cash flows to be volatile. Accordingly, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract in order to hedge cash flow risk caused by floating interest rates. The outstanding interest rate swap contract consisted of the following:

   August 31, 2012    1.38%    0.56%

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the adjustment for the current period to shareholders’ equity amounted to net losses of NT$106 thousand and NT$1,065 thousand, respectively; and the amount removed from shareholders’ equity and recognized as a loss from the above interest rate swap contract amounted to NT$564 thousand and nil, respectively.

In June 2010, the Company invested in Stion Corporation (Stion, a United States corporation) for US$50,000 thousand and obtained Stion’s preferred stock of 7,347 thousand shares with 23.4% of ownership. Stion is engaged in the manufacturing of high-efficiency thin-film solar photovoltaic modules. Due to certain restrictions contained in the investment agreements, the Company does not have the ability to exert significant influence over Stion’s operating and financial policies. Therefore, the investment was classified under financial assets carried at cost.

The common stock of Capella Microsystems (Taiwan), Inc. and Integrated Memory Logic Limited was listed on the Taiwan GreTai Securities Market and Taiwan Stock Exchange in June 2010 and May 2010, respectively. Thus, the Company reclassified the aforementioned investments from financial assets carried at cost to available-for-sale financial assets.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized impairment on financial assets carried at cost of NT$104,981 thousand and NT$112,759 thousand, respectively.

Furthermore, TSMC North America, TSMC China, TSMC Europe, TSMC Canada, TSMC Solar NA and TSMC Solar Europe GmbH are required by local regulations to make monthly contributions at certain percentages of the basic salary of their employees. Pursuant to the aforementioned Act and local regulations, the Company recognized pension costs of NT$963,043 thousand and NT$774,327 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

TSMC, GUC, Xintec, TSMC SSL and TSMC Solar have defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law that provide benefits based on an employee’s length of service and average monthly salary for the six-month period prior to retirement. The aforementioned companies contribute an amount equal to 2% of salaries paid each month to their respective pension funds (the Funds), which are administered by the Labor Pension Fund Supervisory Committee (the Committee) and deposited in the Committee’s name in the Bank of Taiwan. The Company recognized pension costs of NT$246,249 thousand and NT$193,180 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

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. TSMC and its domestic subsidiaries which are subject to the Income Tax Law of the Republic of China recalculated their deferred tax assets in accordance with the new amended Article and adjusted the resulting difference as an income tax expense in 2010.

Under Article 10 of the Statute for Industrial Innovation (SII) legislated and 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 period in which these expenditures are incurred, but this deduction should not exceed 30% of the income tax payable for that period. This incentive is retroactive to January 1, 2010 and effective until December 31, 2019.

As of September 30, 2011, the net operating loss carryforwards generated by WaferTech, TSMC Development and Mutual-Pak would expire on various dates through 2023.

 

  d. Integrated income tax information:

The balance of the imputation credit account of TSMC as of September 30, 2011 and 2010 was NT$4,016,138 thousand and NT$1,669,533 thousand, respectively.

The estimated and actual creditable ratios for distribution of TSMC’s earnings of 2010 and 2009 were 4.95% and 9.85%, respectively.

The imputation credit allocated to shareholders is based on its balance as of the date of the dividend distribution. The estimated creditable ratio may change when the actual distribution of the imputation credit is made.

 

  e. All of TSMC’s earnings generated prior to December 31, 1997 have been appropriated.

22. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

As of September 30, 2011, 1,092,313 thousand ADSs of TSMC 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 only be used to offset a deficit under the Company Law. However, the capital surplus generated from donations and the excess of the issuance price over the par value of capital stock (including the stock issued for new capital, mergers, convertible bonds and the surplus from treasury stock transactions) may be appropriated as stock dividends, which are limited to a certain percentage of TSMC’s paid-in capital. In addition, the capital surplus from long-term investments may not be used for any purpose.

Capital surplus consisted of the following:

 

     September 30

TSMC’s Articles of Incorporation provide that, when allocating the net profits for each fiscal year, TSMC 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 TSMC’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 TSMC of not more than 0.3% and not less than 1% of the remainder, respectively. Directors who also serve as executive officers of TSMC are not entitled to receive the bonus to directors. TSMC 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.

TSMC’s Articles of Incorporation also provide that profits of TSMC may be distributed by way of cash dividend and/or stock dividend. However, distribution of profits shall be made preferably by way of cash dividend. Distribution of profits may also be made by way of stock dividend; provided 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.

TSMC accrued profit sharing to employees based on certain percentage of net income during the period, which amounted to NT$6,887,967 thousand and NT$8,162,440 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Bonuses to directors were accrued 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.

TSMC no longer has supervisors since January 1, 2007. The required duties of supervisors are being fulfilled by the Audit Committee.

The appropriation for legal capital reserve shall be made until the reserve equals TSMC’s paid-in capital. The reserve may be used to offset a deficit, or be distributed as dividends and bonuses for the portion in excess of 50% of the paid-in capital if TSMC has no unappropriated earnings and the reserve balance has exceeded 50% of TSMC’s paid-in capital. The Company Law also prescribes that, when the reserve has reached 50% of TSMC’s paid-in capital, up to 50% of the reserve may be transferred to capital.

 

- 30 -


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 TSMC’s 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, respectively.

The information about the appropriations of TSMC’s 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 TSMC on earnings generated since January 1, 1998.

 

23. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

The options may be granted to qualified employees of TSMC or any of its domestic or foreign subsidiaries, in which TSMC’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 TSMC’s common shares listed on the TSE on the grant date.

(Concluded)

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 nine months ended September 30, 2010 to remain at NT$4.67 and NT$4.66, respectively.

- 35 -


  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 values of long-term bank loans, other long-term payables and obligations under capital leases were based on the present value of expected cash flows, which approximate their carrying amounts.

 

  c. The changes in fair value of derivatives contracts for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 estimated using valuation techniques were recognized as a net gain of NT$395,882 thousand and a net loss of NT$54,381 thousand, respectively.

 

  d. As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, financial assets exposed to fair value interest rate risk were NT$9,390,766 thousand and NT$39,907,290 thousand, respectively; financial liabilities exposed to fair value interest rate risk were NT$65,914,126 thousand and NT$50,114,445 thousand, respectively; and financial liabilities exposed to cash flow interest rate risk were NT$1,650,356 thousand and NT$1,547,897 thousand, respectively.

 

  e. Movements of the unrealized gains or losses on financial instruments for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

  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 publicly traded stocks; 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, bonds payable and bank loans. 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. The long-term bank loans were floating-rate loans; therefore, changes in the market interest rates will result in changes in the interest rate of the long-term bank loans, which will affect future cash flows.

 

  g. The Company seeks to reduce the effects of future cash flow related interest rate changes by primarily using derivative financial instruments.

 

- 37 -


The Company’s long-term bank loans bear floating interest rates; therefore, changes in the market interest rate may cause future cash flows to be volatile. Accordingly, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract in order to hedge cash flow risk caused by floating interest rates. Information about outstanding interest rate swap contract consisted of the following:

30. SIGNIFICANT COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Significant commitments and contingencies of the Company as of September 30, 2011, excluding those disclosed in other notes, were as follows:

 

  a. Under a technical cooperation agreement with ITRI, the R.O.C. Government or its designee approved by TSMC can use up to 35% of TSMC’s capacity if TSMC’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, TSMC shall reserve a portion of its production capacity for certain major customers that have guarantee deposits with TSMC. As of September 30, 2011, TSMC had a total of US$14,051 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. TSMC’s equity interest in SSMC was 32%. Nevertheless, Philips parted with its semiconductor company which was renamed as NXP B.V. in September 2006. TSMC 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, TSMC and NXP B.V. currently own approximately 39% and 61% of the SSMC shares respectively. TSMC and Philips (now NXP B.V.) are required, in the aggregate, to purchase at least 70% of SSMC’s capacity, but TSMC 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 and obtained the subsequent cash settlement income in accordance with the agreement.

 

- 41 -


  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.

 

  g. TSMC entered into an agreement with a counterparty in 2003 whereby TSMC China is obligated to purchase certain property, plant and equipment at the agreed-upon price within the contract period. If the purchase is not completed, TSMC China is obligated to compensate the counterparty for the loss incurred. The property, plant and equipment have been in use by TSMC China since 2004 and are being depreciated over their estimated service lives. The related obligation totaled NT$6,458,725 thousand and NT$7,235,592 thousand as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which is included in other long-term payables.

 

  h. Amounts available under unused letters of credit as of September 30, 2011 were NT$139,187 thousand.
