Revenue Analysis:
Fourth quarter 2007 revenue came in at the high end of our guidance to reach NT$93.9 billion. Demand from computer related applications grew the strongest during the quarter, followed by communication applications. On a sequential basis, revenue from computer and communication applications increased by 15% and 5%, respectively. On the other hand, demand for consumer applications declined by 7% quarter-over-quarter, reflecting their seasonal pattern.
As a result of continued strong ramp for our 65nm technology, revenue from 65nm reached 10% of total wafer sales during the quarter, up from 7% in the previous quarter. Meanwhile, revenue from 90nm also increased during the quarter and accounted for 29% of total wafer sales. Overall, revenues from advanced technologies (0.13-micron and below) accounted for 59% of total wafer sales, up three percentage points from the third quarter of 2007.
Revenues from IDM customers accounted for 32% of total wafer sales during the quarter, compared to 34% in the previous quarter.
From a geographic perspective, revenues from customers headquartered in North America accounted for 79% of total wafer sales, up 5 percentage points from the previous quarter. Meanwhile, as a percentage of wafer sales, sales from customers in Asia Pacific, Europe and Japan all declined during the quarter and accounted for 11%, 8% and 2% of wafer sales, respectively.

Gross Profit Analysis:
Gross margin for the fourth quarter 2007 was 47.8%, up 2 percentage points from the previous quarter, reflecting a higher level of capacity utilization and our continued efforts in cost improvements, offset in part by a depreciation in U.S. dollar.
Gross margin for full year 2007 was 44.1%, down 5 percentage points from the 2006 level, mostly due to lower overall utilization and price decline, offset partially by cost improvements.

Operating Expenses:
Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter 2007 declined by 3.5% sequentially to reach NT$8.1 billion, or 8.6% of net sales, compared with 9.4% of net sales in the previous quarter.
Research and development expenditures increased by NT$321 million quarter-over-quarter, driven by increased R&D spending on 45nm and 32nm related projects.
SG&A expenses declined by NT$614 million sequentially, mostly due to lower legal fees.
On a full year basis, total operating expenses accounted for 9.5% of net sales in 2007, compared with 9% of net sales in 2006, reflecting our continued investments in R&D.

Non-Operating Items:
Combined result from non-operating income and long-term investments was a gain of NT$2.6 billion for fourth quarter 2007.
Non-operating income was NT$1.7 billion, up from NT$1.1 billion in the previous quarter, primarily due to an accrual of litigation contingency in the previous quarter, lawsuit settlement received from SMIC during the fourth quarter, offset in part by lower gains on disposal of investments and lower mark-to-market gains as a result of the decline in the market value of certain marketable securities held through TSMC venture capital funds.
Net investment income increased by NT$95 million in the quarter to reach NT$877 million.
For full year 2007, non-operating income increased by 98% to reach NT$7.4 billion, mostly due to an increase in mark-to-market adjustment for unrealized gains on certain marketable securities, higher interest income, and lower hedging cost, offset partially by an accrual of litigation contingency in 2007. As a result, combined results from non-operating income and long-term investments were a gain of NT$9.9 billion, compared with a gain of NT$6.1 billion in 2006.

Total current liabilities declined by NT$2.2 billion in fourth quarter 2007, primarily as a result of the repayment of corporate bonds, a decline in payables to contractors and equipment suppliers, offset partially by an increase in income tax payables and an accrual for treasury share purchases executed in 2007 but settled in 2008.
Net working capital stood at NT$201.1 billion at the end of the quarter, current ratio improved slightly to reach 5.1.

Summary of Cash Flow:
Cash generated from operating activities totaled NT$59.8 billion during the quarter, up from NT$51.1 billion in the third quarter 2007.
TSMC spent NT$19.8 billion in capital expenditures in 4Q07, bringing 2007 total capital expenditures to NT$84 billion or US$2.6 billion.
Net cash used in financing activities was NT$50.1 billion during the quarter, as we spent NT$45.4 billion in share buybacks and NT$4.5 billion in repayment of corporate bonds.
As a result, TSMC ended the quarter with a cash balance of NT$95 billion.
On a full year basis, cash generated from operating activities declined by NT$21.2 billion in 2007, meanwhile, capital expenditures increased by NT$5.3 billion. Cash dividends per share was raised from NT$2.5 in 2006 to NT$3 in 2007, as a result, total cash dividends paid during 2007 increased by NT$15.6 billion. TSMC also spent NT$45.4 billion in share buybacks.

    2.   Figues represent number of 12" wafers. Conversion to 8"-equivalent wafers is obtained by multiplying this number by 2.25
Capacity:
In line with our guidance, total TSMC managed capacity was 2,263K 8-inch equivalent wafers in the fourth quarter, 4% higher than 3Q07. TSMC managed capacity in 1Q08 is expected to decrease by 4% sequentially to reach 2,182K 8-inch equivalent wafers, mostly due to scheduled maintenance and certain adjustment of capacity due to change in technology mix.
Total managed capacity for 2007 reached 8,290K 8-inch equivalent wafers, representing an increase of 17% from 7,062K 8-inch equivalent wafers in 2006.
