July 15, 2003

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Taiwan Semiconductor
Manufacturing Company Ltd. as of June 30, 2003 and 2002, and the related
statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the
periods then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Taiwan Semiconductor
Manufacturing Company Ltd. as of June 30, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the periods then ended in conformity with the
Guidelines for Securities Issuers' Financial Reporting and accounting principles
generally accepted in the Republic of China.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
      (Amounts in Thousand New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Specified Otherwise)

 1.  GENERAL

     Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd. (The "Company" or "TSMC"),
     a Republic of China corporation, was incorporated as a venture among the
     Government of the Republic of China, acting through the Development Fund of
     the Executive Yuan; Philips Electronics N.V. and certain of its affiliates
     (Philips); and certain other private investors. In September 1994, its
     shares were listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. On October 8, 1997, TSMC
     listed its shares of stock on the New York Stock Exchange in the form of
     American Depositary Shares (ADSs).

     TSMC is engaged mainly in the manufacturing, selling, packaging, testing
     and designing of integrated circuits and other semiconductor devices, and
     the manufacturing of masks.

 2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The financial statements are presented in conformity with the Guidelines
     for Securities Issuers' Financial Reporting and accounting principles
     generally accepted in the Republic of China. Significant accounting
     policies are summarized as follows:

     Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

     Current assets are those expected to be converted to cash, sold or consumed
     within one year. Current liabilities are obligations due on demand within
     one year from the balance sheet date. Assets and liabilities that are not
     classified as current are non-current assets and liabilities, respectively.

     Cash equivalents

     Government bonds acquired with maturities less than three months from the
     date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents.

     Short-term investments

     Short-term investments are carried at the lower of cost or market value.
     The costs of investments sold are determined by the specific identification
     method.

     Allowance for doubtful receivables

     Allowance for doubtful receivables is provided based on a review of the
     collectibility of accounts receivables.

                                      -12-



     Revenue recognition and allowance for sales returns and others

     The four criteria that we use to recognize revenue are the existence of
     evidence of a contractual arrangement, delivery or performance has
     occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is
     reasonably assured. Allowance for sales returns and others is estimated
     based on historical experience and any known factors that would affect the
     allowance. Such provisions are deducted from sales in the year the products
     are sold and the estimated related costs are deducted from cost of sales.

     Sales are determined using the fair value taking into account related sales
     discounts agreed to by the Company and customers. Since the receivables
     from sales are collectible within one year and such transactions are
     frequent, the fair value of receivables is equivalent to the nominal amount
     of cash received.

     Inventories

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Inventories
     are recorded at standard cost and adjusted to approximate weighted-average
     cost at the end of each period. Market value represents net realizable
     value for finished goods and work in process, and replacement value for raw
     materials, supplies and spare parts.

     Long-term investments

     Investments in shares of stock of companies wherein the Company exercises
     significant influence on the operating and financial policy decisions are
     accounted for using the equity method. The Company's proportionate share in
     the net income or net loss of investee companies are recognized as
     components of the "Investment income/loss recognized by equity method -
     net" account. When acquiring shares of stock, the difference between the
     cost of investment and investee's net book value is amortized using
     straight-line method over five years, and also recorded as components of
     investment income/loss recognized by equity method - net. The Company
     adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 30,
     "Accounting for Treasury Stock" on January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 30 requires a
     parent company to reclassify its capital stock held by its subsidiaries
     from short/long-term investments to treasury stock.

     When the Company subscribes to additional investee shares at a percentage
     different from its existing equity interest, the resulting carrying amount
     of the investment in equity investee differs from the amount of Company's
     proportionate share in the investee's net equity. The Company records such
     difference as an adjustment to "capital surplus" as well as the "long-term
     investments" accounts. In the event an investee has an accumulated deficit,
     it will record an offset to its capital surplus, excluding the reserve for
     asset revaluation, through retained earnings. The Company will also record
     a corresponding entry equivalent to its proportionate share of the investee
     capital surplus, excluding the reserve for asset revaluation, that was
     generated subsequent to any acquisition of equity interest in the investee.
     If an investee's functional currency is a foreign currency, "cumulative
     translation adjustments" would result from the process of translating the
     investees' financial statements into the functional currency of the
     Company.

     Other stock investments are accounted for using the cost method. Cash
     dividends are recognized as income in the year received but are accounted
     for as reduction in the carrying values of the long-term investments if the
     dividends are received in the same year that the related investments are
     acquired. Stock dividends are recognized neither as investment income nor
     increase of long-term investments but recorded only as an increase in the
     number of shares held.

     An allowance is recognized for any decline in the market value of
     investments using quoted market prices with the corresponding amount
     debited to shareholders' equity. A reversal of the allowance will result
     from a subsequent recovery of the market value. The carrying values of
     investments with no quoted market price are reduced to reflect an other
     than temporary decline in their values with the related impairment loss
     charged to income.

     Investments in foreign mutual funds are stated at the lower of aggregate
     cost or net asset value (NAV). An allowance is recognized when the cost of
     the funds is lower than their net asset values, with the corresponding
     amount debited to shareholders' equity. A reversal of the allowance will
     result from a subsequent recovery of the net asset value.

     The costs of investments sold are determined using the weighted-average
     method.

     If an investee company has an unrealized loss on a long-term investment
     evaluated using the lower-of-cost-or-market method, the Company recognizes
     a corresponding unrealized loss in proportion to its equity interest and
     records the amount as a component of its own shareholders' equity.

     Gains or losses on transactions with investee companies wherein the Company
     owns at least 20% of the outstanding common stock but less than a
     controlling interest are deferred in proportion to the Company's ownership
     percentage until realized through a transaction with a third party. The
     entire amount of the gains or losses on sales to majority-owned
     subsidiaries are deferred until such gains or losses are realized through
     the subsequent sale of the related products to third parties. Gains or
     losses from sales by investee companies to the Company are deferred in
     proportion to the ownership percentage until realized through transactions
     with third parties.

     Property, plant and equipment, assets leased to others and idle assets

     Property, plant and equipment and assets leased to others are stated at
     cost less accumulated depreciation. When significant loss occurs, the
     related assets are stated at the lower of fair value or the book value.
     Idle assets are stated at the lower of book value or net realizable value.
     Significant additions, renewals, betterments, and interest expense incurred
     during the construction period are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are
     expensed in the period incurred. Property, plant and equipment covered by
     agreements qualifying as capital leases are carried at the lower of the
     present value of future minimum rent payments, or the market value of the
     property at the inception dates of the leases. The effective interest
     method is used to allocate each lease payment between principal and
     interest expense.

     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, the related cost
     and accumulated depreciation are removed with any gains or losses credited
     or charged to income in the period of disposal.

     Goodwill

     Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid for acquisitions
     over the fair market value of identifiable net assets acquired and the
     difference between the investment cost and the Company's proportionate
     share in the net assets of acquired investee companies. Goodwill is
     amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated life of 10
     years.

                                      -14-



     Deferred charges

     Deferred charges consist of software and system design costs, technology
     know-how, bond issuance costs and technology license fees. The amounts are
     amortized as follows: software and system design costs - 3 years,
     technology know-how - 5 years, bond issuance costs - the term of the bonds,
     technology license fee - the shorter of the estimated life of the
     technology or the term of the technology transfer contract.

     Pension costs

     Net periodic pension costs are recorded on the basis of actuarial
     calculations. Unrecognized net transition obligation and unrecognized net
     gain/loss are amortized over 25 years.

     Deferred gain on sale and leaseback

     The gain on the sale of property that is simultaneously leased back is
     deferred by the Company. This deferred gain on sales and leaseback
     transactions is amortized as follows: (a) operating leases - adjustment of
     rental expenses over the term of the leases, and (b) capital leases -
     adjustment of depreciation expenses over the estimated useful life or term
     of the leases; whichever is shorter.

     Casualty loss

     Casualty loss mainly caused from the March 31, 2002 earthquake are recorded
     when incurred and any insurance recoveries are recorded when probable up to
     the amount of the loss. Recoveries in excess of the amount of the loss are
     recorded when realized.

     Income tax

     The Company uses an inter-period tax allocation method for income tax.
     Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax
     effects of temporary differences, unused tax credits and net operating loss
     carryforwards. 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, according to the
     classification of its related asset or liability, classified as current or
     non-current. However, if a deferred asset or liability does not relate to
     an asset or liability in the financial statements, then it is classified as
     either current or non-current based on the expected length of time before
     it is realized.

     Any tax credit arising from the purchase of machinery, equipment and
     technology, research and development expenditures, personnel training,
     investments in important technology-based enterprise are recognized using
     the current method.

     Adjustments of prior years' tax liabilities are added to or deducted from
     the current year's tax provision.

     As of January 1, 1998, income taxes on unappropriated earnings of 10% are
     expensed in the year of shareholder approval which is the year subsequent
     to the year incurred.

                                      -15-



     Derivative financial instruments

     The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to manage
     currency exposures in cash flow and in foreign currency-denominated assets
     and liabilities. The differences in the New Taiwan dollar amounts
     translated using the spot rate and the amounts translated using the
     contracted forward rates on the contract date are amortized over the terms
     of the forward contracts using the straight-line method. At the balance
     sheet dates, the receivables or payables arising from forward contracts are
     restated using the prevailing spot rate and the resulting differences are
     charged to income. Also, the receivables and payables related to the
     forward contract are netted with the resulting amount presented as either
     an asset or liability. Any resulting gain or loss upon settlement is
     credited or charged to income in the period of settlement.

     The Company enters into interest rate swap transactions to manage exposures
     from changes in interest rates on existing liabilities. These transactions
     are accounted for on an accrual basis, in which the cash settlement
     receivable or payable is recorded as an adjustment to interest income or
     expense.

     The notional amount of foreign currency option contracts entered into for
     hedging purposes are not recognized as an asset or liability on the
     contract dates. The premiums paid or received for the call or put options
     are amortized and charged to income on a straight-line basis over the term
     of the related contract. Any resulting gain or loss upon settlement is
     credited or charged to income in the period of settlement.

     Foreign-currency transactions

     Foreign-currency transactions are recorded in New Taiwan dollars at the
     current rate of exchange in effect when the transaction occurs. Gains or
     losses derived from foreign currency transactions or monetary assets and
     liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are recognized in current
     operations. At the end of each period, foreign-currency assets and
     liabilities are revalued at the prevailing exchange rate with the resulting
     gains or losses recognized in current operations.

     Reclassification

     Certain accounts in the financial statements as of and for the six months
     ended June 30, 2002 have been reclassified to conform to the financial
     statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

 3.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
     No. 30, "Accounting for Treasury Stock" and other relevant regulations from
     Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), the Company is required to
     reclassify its common stock held by its subsidiaries from short/long-term
     investments to treasury stock. The reclassification is based on the
     carrying value recorded by the Company's subsidiaries as of January 1,
     2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 30 resulted in the decrease of long-term
     investments and the increase of treasury stock by NT$1,922,049 thousand as
     of June 30, 2003, and the decrease in net income for the six months ended
     June 30, 2003 by NT$255,016 thousand.

15.  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

     The Company has 369,019 thousand ADSs issued on the New York Stock Exchange
     as of June 30, 2003. The number of common shares represented by the ADSs is
     1,845,097 thousand shares (one ADS represents five common shares).

     On June 3, 2003, the Board of Director approved the Company's sponsorship
     of the offer by certain existing shareholders of up to 450,000 thousand
     common shares in the form of ADSs. The resolution to sponsor the offering
     of common shares in the form of ADSs has been approved by the SFC on June
     30, 2003. The offering is still in process as of July 15, 2003.

     Capital surplus can only be used to offset a deficit under the ROC Company
     Law. However, the components of capital surplus generated from donations
     (donated capital) and the excess of the issue price over the par value of
     capital stock (including the stock issued for new capital, mergers, and the
     purchase of treasury stock) can be transferred to capital as stock
     dividends.

     The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide that the following shall be
     appropriated from annual net income if in excess of any cumulative deficit:

     a. 10% legal reserve;

     b. Special reserve in accordance with relevant laws or regulations;

     c. Remuneration to directors and supervisors and bonus to employees equals
        to 0.3% and at least 1% of the remainder, respectively. Individuals
        eligible for the employee bonus may include employees of affiliated
        companies as approved by the board of directors or a representative of
        the board of directors; and

     d. The appropriation of any remaining balance shall be approved by the
        shareholders.

     Dividends are distributed in cash, shares of common stock or a combination
     of cash and common stock. Distributions of profits are preferably made in
     the form of stock dividend. The total of cash dividends paid in any given
     year may not exceed 50% of total dividends distributed.

     Any appropriations of net income shall be approved at the shareholders'
     meeting in the following year and are recorded in the financial statement
     in the year of shareholder approval.

                                      -25-



     The appropriation for legal reserve shall be made until the reserve is
     equal to the aggregate par value of the Company's outstanding capital
     stock. The reserve can only be used to offset a deficit or distribute as
     dividend up to half of the reserve balance when the reserve balance has
     reached 50% of the aggregate par value of the outstanding capital stock of
     the Company.

     The appropriations of the earnings of 2002 and 2001 were approved in the
     shareholders' meeting on June 3, 2003 and May 7, 2002, respectively. The
     appropriations and dividend per share are as follows:

     The above appropriation of the earnings in fiscal year 2002 and 2001 is
     consistent with the resolution of the meetings of board of directors on
     March 4, 2003 and March 26, 2002, respectively. If the above employee bonus
     and remuneration to directors and supervisors were paid in cash and charged
     against income for 2002 and 2001, the basic earnings per share for the
     years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 would decrease from NT$1.14 to
     NT$1.05 and NT$0.83 to NT$0.76, respectively. The shares distributed as a
     bonus to employees represented 0.83% and 0.64% of the Company's total
     outstanding common shares as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

     The above information associated with the appropriations of bonus to
     employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors is available at
     Market Observation System website.

     A special reserve equivalent to the debit balance of any account shown in
     the shareholder's equity section of the balance sheet (except for the
     recorded cost of treasury stock held by subsidiaries), shall be made from
     unappropriated retained earnings pursuant to existing regulations
     promulgated by the Securities and Futures Commission. The special reserve
     is allowed to be appropriated to the extent that the debit balance of such
     accounts is reversed.

     Under the Integrated Income Tax System that became effective on January 1,
     1998, ROC resident shareholders are allowed a tax credit for the income tax
     paid by the Company on earnings generated on or after January 1, 1998. An
     Imputation Credit Account (ICA) is maintained by the Company for such
     income tax and the tax credit allocated to each shareholder.

     The potential common shares from the employee stock option plan (see Note
     15) are included in the denominator of the diluted earning-per-share
     computation but such shares result in a non-dilutive per share amount by
     using the treasury stock method under the Statement of Financial Accounting
     Standards No. 24, "Earnings Per Share". The average number of shares
     outstanding for EPS calculation has been adjusted retroactively for
     issuance of stock dividends and stock bonuses. The retroactive adjustment
     caused the basic EPS before income tax and after income tax for the six
     months ended June 30, 2002 to decrease from NT$0.96 to NT$0.84 and NT$0.88
     to NT$0.77 , respectively.

20.  SIGNIFICANT COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The significant commitments and contingencies as of June 30, 2003 are as
     follows:

     a.  Under a Technical Cooperation Agreement with Philips, as amended on May
         12, 1997, the Company shall pay technical assistance fees at a
         percentage of net sales (as defined in the agreement) of certain
         products. The agreement shall remain in force through July 8, 2007 and
         may be automatically renewed for successive periods of three years
         thereafter. Under the amended agreement, starting from the fifth
         anniversary date of the amended agreement, the fees are subject to
         reduction by the amounts the Company pays to any third party for
         settling any licensing/infringement disputes, provided that the fees to
         be paid after reduction will not be below a certain percentage of the
         net sales.

     b.  Subject to certain equity ownership and notification requirements,
         Philips and its affiliates can avail themselves each year of up to 30%
         of the Company's production capacity.

     c.  Under a technical cooperation agreement with ITRI, the Company shall
         reserve and allocate up to 35% of certain of its production capacity
         for use by the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) or any other party
         designated by the MOEA.

                                      -31-



     d.  Under several foundry agreements, the Company shall reserve a portion
         of its production capacity for certain major customers who have made
         guarantee deposits to the Company. As of June 30, 2003, the Company
         received a total of US$34,293 thousand of guarantee deposits.

     e.  Under a Shareholders Agreement entered into with Philips and EDB
         Investments Pte Ltd. on March 30, 1999, the parties formed a joint
         venture company "SSMC" for the purpose of constructing an integrated
         circuit foundry in Singapore, and allow the Company to invest in 32% of
         SSMC's capital. The Company and Philips committed to buy a specific
         percentage of the production capacity of SSMC. If any party defaults on
         the commitment and the capacity utilization of SSMC falls below a
         specific percentage of its total capacity, the defaulting party is
         required to compensate SSMC for all related unavoidable costs.

     f.  The Company provides technical services to SSMC under a Technical
         Cooperation Agreement (the "Agreement") entered into on May 12, 1999.
         The Company receives compensation for such services computed at a
         specific percentage of net selling prices of certain products sold by
         SSMC. The Agreement remains in force for ten years and is automatically
         renewed for successive periods of five years unless pre-terminated by
         either party under certain conditions.

     g.  The Company provided guarantees on loans amounting to US$200,000
         thousand, US$40,000 thousand and US$440,000 thousand for TSMC
         Development, Inc., TSMC - North America and WaferTech, respectively.

     h.  Under a Technology Transfer Agreement ("TTA") with National
         Semiconductor Corporation ("National") entered into on June 27, 2000,
         the Company shall receive payments for license of certain technology to
         National. The agreement will remain in force for ten years and will be
         automatically renewed for successive periods of two years thereafter
         unless either party gives notice for early termination under certain
         conditions. In January 2003, the Company and National entered into a
         Termination Agreement whereby the TTA was terminated for convenience.
         Under the termination agreement, the Company will be relieved of any
         further obligation to transfer any additional technology. In addition,
         the Company granted National an option to request additional technology
         transfers under the same terms and conditions as the terminated TTA
         through January 2008.

     i.  The Company entered into a Manufacturing Agreement with VIS. VIS agrees
         to reserve certain production capacity for the Company to manufacture
         certain logic devices or other technologies required by the Company's
         customers at selling prices agreed upon by the parties. The Company
         paid NT$1,200,000 thousand to VIS as a guarantee deposit. VIS shall
         return portions of the guarantee deposit without any interest to the
         Company upon reaching certain levels of purchase commitment by the
         Company. The contract will remain in force for five years. As of June
         30, 2003, the refundable deposit was NT$349,204 thousand.

     j.  Starting from 2001, the Company entered into several license
         arrangements for certain semiconductor patents. The terms of the
         contracts range from five to ten years with payments to be paid in the
         form of royalties over the term of the related contracts. The Company
         has recorded the related amounts as a liability and a deferred charge
         to be amortized to cost of sales on a straight-line basis over the
         estimated life of the technology or the term of the contract, whichever
         is shorter.

                                      -32-



     k.  In November 2002, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated
         Joint Technology Cooperation Agreement with Philips, Motorola, Inc. and
         ST Microelectronic to jointly develop 90-nanometer to 65-nanometer
         advanced CMOS Logic and e-DRAM technologies. The Company also agreed to
         align 0.12 micron CMOS Logic technology to enhance its foundry business
         opportunities. The Company will contribute process technologies and
         share a portion of the costs associated with this joint development
         project.

     l.  The Company entered into investment related agreements with Shanghai
         Songjiang District People's Government on June 8, 2003. Subject to the

             b)  Interest rate swaps

                 The Company entered into interest rate swap contracts to hedge
                 exposures from rising interest rates on its floating rate
                 long-term loans. Interest expense on these transactions for the
                 six months ended June 30, 2003 was NT$114,111 thousand.
                 Outstanding contracts as of June 30, 2003 were as follows:

           c)  Option contracts

               The Company entered into foreign currency option contracts to
               hedge risks of exchange rate fluctuations arising from its
               anticipated U.S. dollar cash receipts from its export sales or
               its Japanese currency obligations for purchases of machinery and
               equipment.

               Outstanding option contracts as of June 30, 2003 were as follows:

               For the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company recognized
               premium income of NT$50,273 thousand and premium expense of
               NT$146,921 thousand.

           d)  Transaction risk

               i)    Credit risk. Credit risk represents the positive net
                     settlement amount of those contracts with positive fair
                     values at the balance sheet date. The positive net
                     settlement amount represents the loss incurred by the
                     Company if the counter-parties breached the contracts. The
                     banks, which are the counter-parties to the foregoing
                     derivative financial instruments, are reputable financial
                     institutions. Management believes its exposures related to
                     the potential default by those counter-parties are low.

               ii)   Market price risk. All derivative financial instruments are
                     intended as hedges for fluctuations in currency exchange
                     rates on the Company's foreign currency denominated
                     receivables or payables and interest rate fluctuations on
                     its floating rate long-term loans. Gains or losses from
                     forward exchange contracts are likely to be offset by gains
                     or losses from the hedged receivables and payables.
                     Interest rate risks are also controlled as the expected
                     cost of capital is fixed. Thus, market price risks are
                     believed to be minimal.

               iii)  Liquidity and cash flow risk and uncertainty of amount and
                     term of future cash demand.

                     As of June 30, 2003, the Company's future cash demand for
                     outstanding forward exchange contracts, interest rate swaps
                     and option contracts are as follows:



                                                                     Forward Exchange Contracts
                                                                -------------------------------------

                     Within one year                            NT$     44,545,275     US$  1,362,132
                                                                EUR         14,000                  -
                                                                JPY      6,580,435                  -


                                      -35-



               The Company has sufficient operating capital to meet the above
               cash demand. The interest rate of the interest rate swaps has
               taken the Company's cost of capital into account. In addition,
               the exchange rates of forward foreign exchange contracts and
               option contracts are fixed. Therefore, there is no material fund
               raising risk and cash flow risk.

     2)   Fair value of financial instruments:



                                                                    June 30, 2003               June 30, 2002

          Fair values of financial instruments were determined as follows:

          a)   The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and
               cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivable, other financial
               assets, accounts payable, payables to contractors and equipment
               suppliers are approximate to their fair values.

          b)   Fair value of short-term and long-term investments is based on
               quoted market prices. If quoted market prices are unavailable,
               fair value is based on net asset value or book value of
               investment.

          c)   Fair value of refundable deposits and guarantee deposits is based
               on carrying values.

          d)   The fair value of bonds payable is the quoted market value. Fair
               value of other long-term payable is equivalent to its carrying
               value.

          e)   Fair value of derivative financial instruments is the estimated
               net receivable or (payable) if the contracts are terminated on
               the relevant balance sheet date.

                                      -36-



               The fair values of non-financial instruments were not included in
               the fair values disclosed above. Accordingly, the sum of the fair
               values of the financial instruments listed above does not
               represent the fair value of the Company as a whole.

          3)   Investment in Mainland China:

               The Company filed an investment project with the Investment
               Commission of MOEA to establish a foundry in Mainland China. On
               February 27, 2003, the authority approved phase one of the
               foregoing project and permitted direct investment in establishing
               TSMC - Shanghai. The Company entered into an investment related
               agreement with Shanghai Songjiang District People's Government on
               June 8, 2003. (See Note 20 l.) As of July 15, 2003, TSMC-Shanghai
               has not been established.
