NEWS RELEASE
TOWER SEMICONDUCTOR LTD. ANNOUNCES
SECOND QUARTER AND FIRST HALF 2003 RESULTS
FAB 2 PRODUCTION RAMP UNDERWAY
MIGDAL HAEMEK, ISRAEL-- AUGUST 8, 2003-- Tower Semiconductor Ltd. (NASDAQ: TSEM;
TASE: TSEM) today announced results for the second quarter and first half ended
June 30, 2003.
Sales for the second quarter of 2003 were $12.9 million, compared to $12.6
million in the preceding quarter and compared with $11.6 million in the second
quarter of 2002. Second quarter loss was $16.8 million, or $0.37 per share,
compared to a loss of $14.4 million, or $0.33 per share, for the first quarter
of 2003 and compared with a loss of $11.3 million, or $0.39 per share, for the
second quarter of 2002.
Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $25.5 million, versus $20.0
million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The company reported a loss of
$31.2 million, or $0.70 per share, compared with a loss of $23.3 million, or
$0.86 per share, in the six months ended June 30, 2002.
Fab 1 drove the company's increase in sales in second quarter 2003, which marked
the fifth consecutive quarter of positive cash flow from Fab 1 operations. The
company's increase in loss in the second quarter was mainly due to the high
level of start up and production ramp activities in Fab 2. The company expects a
decrease in Fab 1 sales, along with first time Fab 2 sales, in the third
quarter. This would result in modest quarter-to-quarter growth on a consolidated
basis.
Volume production in Fab 2 for wafer partners Alliance Semiconductor (NASDAQ:
ALSC) and SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK) began this past quarter. First-time
production order for Fab 2 was also received from wafer partner QuickLogic
Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK). Additionally, Fab 2 enhanced its IP portfolio in the
second quarter by licensing design tools from Cadence (NYSE: CDN), Mentor
(NASDAQ: MENT) and ChipIdea.
Carmel Vernia, chairman of the board and CEO of Tower, commented, "I am pleased
with the progress we made on many fronts this past quarter. We received
first-time orders for Fab 2 from several customers, including Zoran. We enhanced
our focus on customer service with the hire of Rafi Nave, a longtime industry
executive. Concurrently, we expanded our sales force and pursued our technology
developments in key areas."
The Company has reached an arrangement with its banks and with its equity and
wafer partners to extend the original financing agreement and provide additional
funding to the company, if needed, for further ramp-up of production capacity in
Fab 2.

a completed contract, would result in an event of default under the credit
facility in which event our banks would have the right to call our loans and
exercise their liens against our assets, (ii) raising at least $26 million of
additional funding for Fab 2 before the end of 2003, which is a condition to

Gentlemen:
Re: REVIEW OF UNAUDITED CONDENSED INTERIM
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF JUNE 30, 2003
At your request, we have reviewed the condensed interim consolidated financial
statements ("interim financial statements") of Tower Semiconductor Ltd. ("the
Company") and its subsidiary, as follows:
- Balance sheet as of June 30, 2003.
- Statements of operations for the six months and three months ended June 30,
2003.
- Statement of changes in shareholders' equity for the six months and three
months ended June 30, 2003.
- Statement of cash flows for the six months and three months ended June 30,
2003.
Our review was conducted in accordance with procedures prescribed by the
Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel. The procedures included,
inter alia, reading the aforementioned interim financial statements, reading the
minutes of the shareholders' meetings and meetings of the board of directors and
its committees, and making inquiries with the persons responsible for financial
and accounting affairs.
Since the review that was performed is limited in scope and does not constitute
an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we do not
express an opinion on the aforementioned interim financial statements.
In performing our review, nothing came to our attention which indicates that
material adjustments are required to the interim financial statements for them
to be deemed financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in Israel.
Accounting principles generally accepted in Israel vary in certain significant
respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. The effect of the application of the latter on the financial position
and results of operations as of the date and for the periods presented is
summarized in Note 5.

TOWER SEMICONDUCTOR LTD. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF JUNE 30, 2003
(dollars in thousands, except share data and per share data)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
A. The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial
statements as of June 30, 2003 and for the six months and
three months then ended ("interim financial statements") of
Tower Semiconductor Ltd. ("the Company") and subsidiary should
be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements of the Company and subsidiary as of December 31,
2002 and for the year then ended, including the notes thereto.
In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements
include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of
the financial position and results of operations as of the
dates and for the interim periods presented. The results of
operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected on a full-year basis.
B. The interim financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP") in Israel, which, as applicable to these interim
financial statements, are identical in all material respects
to GAAP in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), except
as indicated in Note 5.
The accounting principles applied in the preparation of these
interim financial statements are consistent with those
principles applied in the preparation of the most recent
annual audited financial statements.
C. ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW FABRICATION FACILITY
In January 2001, the Company's Board of Directors approved the
establishment of a new wafer fabrication facility in Israel
("Fab 2"), at an expected cost of approximately $1,500,000.
Fab 2 is designated to manufacture semiconductor integrated
circuits on silicon wafers in geometries of 0.18 micron and
below on 200 millimeters wafers. The Company entered into
several related agreements and arrangements in connection with
Fab 2, including agreements and other arrangements with
technology and Wafer Partners, equity investors, the Company's
Banks, the government of Israel and others to provide an
aggregate of $1,146,000 of financing Fab 2.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF JUNE 30, 2003
(dollars in thousands, except share data and per share data)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION (cont.)
C. ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW FABRICATION FACILITY (cont.)
The Fab 2 project is a complex undertaking, which entails
substantial risks and uncertainties. Subsequent to
balance-sheet date, the Company and the Banks reached
understandings pursuant to which the Facility Agreement and
certain of its provisions will be amended to reflect the
updated plan for the construction of Fab 2, which was
submitted to the Banks in June 2003. The updated plan calls
for, among other things, a slower ramp-up for Fab 2 than
originally planned and conforms the current fund-raising,
production and capacity covenants in the Facility Agreement,
including those described in note 3B below, to the revised
ramp-up. Though as of the approval date of the interim
financial statements a comprehensive contract with respect to
these understandings has not been concluded, management
estimates that concluding such a contract is probable.
Management's estimate is based primarily on the discussions
and negotiations with the Banks held prior and subsequent to
the balance-sheet date. Completing the aforementioned
comprehensive contract with the Banks is material for the
continuation of construction and equipping of Fab 2.
For further details concerning the Fab 2 project and related
agreements, risks and uncertainties, see Note 3 below and Note
13A to the 2002 audited consolidated financial statements. For
details concerning non-capitalizable expenses and cash flows
used in operating activities relating to Fab 2, see Note 3E
below.

NOTE 3 - RECENT DEVELOPMENTS RELATING TO FAB 2
A. AMENDMENTS TO THE PRIMARY WAFER PARTNER AND EQUITY INVESTOR
AGREEMENTS
In the first quarter of 2003, the Company's primary Wafer
Partners and its Equity Investors entered into amendments to
their agreements with the Company, pursuant to which the
primary Wafer Partners and the Equity Investors agreed to
advance their fifth milestone installment payment, in the
aggregate amount of $41,069, regardless of its achievement.
The amendments provided that $24,641 of the fifth milestone
payment is to be paid following receipt of all required
approvals for the amendments as outlined below, and the
remaining $16,428 is to be paid no earlier than August 2003
and subject to the Company's obtaining all the approvals as
outlined below and raising of an aggregate of approximately
$22,000 in additional funding for Fab 2 (which under certain
circumstances, may increase up to $26,000) (the "Additional
Raising Amount") from specified financial sources, no later
than December 31, 2003. Following an addendum to these
amendments, their approval in May 2003 by the Company's
shareholders and the Banks' agreement to provide the Company
with interim funding in the amount of $33,000, out of which a
maximum amount of $27,000 may be and was drawn down as loans
by the Company as of June 30, 2003, the primary Wafer Partners
and Equity Investors invested in May 2003 an aggregate amount
of $13,440 towards the aforementioned $24,641 first
installment of the fifth milestone.
In consideration for their investments for the first
installment of the fifth milestone in the amount of $13,440,
the primary Wafer Partners and the Equity Investors were
issued 4,505,532 Ordinary Shares of the Company, based on the
average closing sale price of the Company's Ordinary Shares
for the 30 trading days prior to the date the Company's Board
of Directors approved the amendments ($2.983 per share), and,
for the second installment of the fifth milestone, the primary
Wafer Partners and the Equity Investors will be issued
fully-paid Ordinary Shares of the Company, based on the price
at which the Company raises the Additional Raising Amount from
specified financial sources.
Pursuant to the abovementioned amendments, the Company granted
the primary Wafer Partners an option to convert an aggregate
of up to $13,201 of the unutilized long-term customers'
advances, which they may have as of December 31, 2005, into
fully-paid Ordinary Shares of the Company, the amount of which
shall be determined based on the average closing sale price of
the Company's Ordinary Shares for the 30 trading days prior to
such date. The option is exercisable during January 2006. In
case such conversion occurs and the amount of shares issued is
equivalent to or greater than 5% of the Company's outstanding
share capital as of the conversion date, the Company has
undertaken to offer to all of its other shareholders rights to
purchase shares of the Company at the same price per share.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF JUNE 30, 2003
(dollars in thousands, except share data and per share data)
NOTE 3 - RECENT DEVELOPMENTS RELATING TO FAB 2 (cont.)
A. AMENDMENTS TO THE PRIMARY WAFER PARTNER AND EQUITY INVESTOR
AGREEMENTS (cont.)
Under the Fab 2 investment agreements, the fifth and last
milestone towards the Wafer Partners and Equity Investors was
to have been achieved by mid-July 2003, when taking into
account a seven and a half month grace period. The fifth
milestone was not achieved by such date. As stated above,
subject to obtaining all the approvals for the amendments as
outlined below, the primary Wafer Partners and Equity
Investors agreed to pay the fifth milestone installment
payment even if the Company does not achieve the fifth
milestone.
As part of the amendments described above, and subject to
obtaining all the approvals as outlined below, the primary
Wafer Partners and Equity Investors agreed to waive the
requirement that the Company raise a cumulative total of
$50,000 from new wafer partners by March 31, 2003.
The abovementioned amendments were subject to the approval of
the Company's shareholders and to the approvals of certain
regulatory bodies, all of which were obtained by June 30,
2003. In addition, the amendments are subject to the
conclusion of a final comprehensive contract, including the
detailed terms and conditions, with the Banks, as outlined in
B below, and to the additional condition that the Investment
Center shall not have informed the Company that it is not
continuing its funding of the Fab 2 project.
B. AMENDMENTS TO THE FAB 2 FACILITY AGREEMENT
Subsequent to balance-sheet date, the Company and the Banks
reached understandings pursuant to which the Facility
Agreement and certain of its provisions will be amended to
reflect the updated plan for the construction of Fab 2, which
was submitted to the Banks in June 2003. The updated plan
calls for, among other things, a slower ramp-up for Fab 2 than
originally planned and conforms the current fund-raising,
production and capacity covenants in the Facility Agreement,
including those described below, to the revised ramp-up.
According to the updated plan submitted to the Banks the
Company is required to raise at least an additional $90,000
from specified financial sources. As a result, the Company
would be committed to raise an aggregate of $150,000 from
these sources by December 2005, at milestones to be agreed
upon. In addition, the Banks have requested that the Company's
primary Wafer Partners and Equity Investors be committed to
continue to support the Fab 2 project.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF JUNE 30, 2003
(dollars in thousands, except share data and per share data)
NOTE 3 - RECENT DEVELOPMENTS RELATING TO FAB 2 (cont.)
B. AMENDMENTS TO THE FAB 2 FACILITY AGREEMENT (cont.)
The understandings with the Banks are subject to conclusion of
a final comprehensive contract, including the detailed terms
and conditions of such contract; to the approval of the board
of directors of the Company's primary Wafer Partners and
Equity Investors; the Company's shareholders meeting; and
other regulatory bodies. Management estimates that formalizing
the aforementioned understandings with the Banks into a
comprehensive contract and obtaining the required approvals
are probable. Management's estimate is based primarily on the
discussions and negotiations with the Banks, the primary Wafer
Partners and Equity Investors held prior and subsequent to the
balance-sheet date. Completing the aforementioned
comprehensive contract with the Banks is material for the
continuation of construction and equipping of Fab 2.
According to the current Facility Agreement with the Banks,
the Company is obligated to comply with certain financial
ratios, primarily total shareholders' equity to total assets,
and substantial additional material covenants in connection
with the establishment of Fab 2, primarily production and
capacity milestones. As of June 30, 2003 and the approval date
of the interim financial statements, the Company had not
raised $24,000 of its fund raising covenant from specified
financial sources. In addition, the Company did not achieve on
time the fifth production and capacity milestones towards the
Banks, and based on the updated plan for the construction of
Fab 2, the Company does not expect to achieve on time the
sixth milestone towards the Banks. As discussed in the
previous paragraph, these covenants will be conformed to the
updated plan for the construction of Fab 2 in connection with
the amendments to the Facility Agreement.
During the discussions and negotiation period, the Banks have
limited the full amount the Company may draw down pursuant to
the Facility Agreement. However, during the six months ended
June 30, 2003 the Banks provided the Company with loans in the
aggregate amount of $57,000, and additional $6,000 in letters
of credit; and subsequent to the balance-sheet date, the Banks
provided the Company with an additional $40,000.
C. APPROVED ENTERPRISE STATUS
Under the terms of the Fab 2 approved enterprise program,
investments in respect of Fab 2 are to be completed by
December 31, 2005, five years from the date the approval
certificate was obtained. Due to the later than planned
commencement of construction of Fab 2 and prevailing market
conditions, the Company does not currently expect to complete
Fab 2 investments by the end of 2005. The Company has notified
the Investment Center of its revised investment schedule
contemplated in the updated plan described in B above, and has
also informed the Investment Center of the reduced rate of
annual investments and lower than projected expectations for
Fab 2 sales.

C. APPROVED ENTERPRISE STATUS (cont.)
As of the date of the interim financial statements, the
Company's revised investments plan is currently being
evaluated by the Investment Center. While Israeli law
currently limits the ability of the Investment Center to
extend the investment period beyond five years, the Company's
management estimates, based on discussions held with the
Investment Center, that it is probable that satisfactory
arrangements with the Investment Center in this regard will be
made.
D. OTHER AGREEMENTS
Through June 30, 2003 the Company had entered into several
additional agreements related mainly to the construction,
equipping and transfer of technology for Fab 2. The Company's
aggregate commitment in connection with these agreements as of
such date, including the Fab 2 construction agreement,
amounted to $57,137.
E. NON-CAPITALIZABLE EXPENSES AND OPERATING CASH FLOWS USED IN
CONNECTION WITH FAB 2
In connection with establishing Fab 2, the Company incurred
during the six-month period ended June 30, 2003
non-capitalizable expenses in the amount of $19,685, of which
$11,220 was included in cost of sales and $8,465 was included
in marketing, general and administrative (during the
corresponding period - $8,214, $3,626 and $4,588,
respectively). During the three-month period ended June 30,
2003 the Company incurred non-capitalizable expenses in
connection with establishing Fab 2 in the amount of $10,196,
of which $6,193 was included in cost of sales and $4,003 was
included in marketing, general and administrative (during the
corresponding period - $4,863, $2,421 and $2,442,
respectively).
Net cash used in operating activities during the six-month
period ended June 30, 2003 was $15,422. That amount includes
net cash out flows in the amount of $22,222 attributable to
the establishing of Fab 2 (during the corresponding period -
$14,312 and $13,796, respectively). The $14,312 and $13,796
amounts exclude net cash in the amount of $14,668 provided by
an increase in long-term liability in respect of customers'
advances.

NOTE 4 - OTHER RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
A. SHARE OPTION PLANS
(1) In the framework of the Company's Board of Directors
resolution to increase the total number of options
available for grant under all the Company's share
option plans, 1,737,421 options were added to the
Company's share option plans in 2003. Of that amount
no options were granted to employees during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2003.
(2) OPTIONS TO THE COMPANY'S CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS - In March 2003, the Board of Directors of
the Company approved a share option plan, which was
approved by the Company's shareholders in May 2003,
pursuant to which the Company's Chairman of the Board
of Directors ("Chairman") is entitled to receive the
right to purchase up to 1,043,000 Ordinary Shares of
the Company at an exercise price of $2.983, an
exercise price which is higher than the Company's
share price at the date of the approval by the Board
of Directors, and is equivalent to the average
trading price for the ordinary shares during the 30
consecutive trading days preceding the date of board
approval of the amendment to the Fab 2 Investment
Agreements described in Note 3A above. Options
granted under the plan vest over a five-year period
according to various vesting schedules. The vesting
of the options is subject to the Chairman's serving
as the Chairman or as the Company's Chief Executive
Officer or President on the relevant vesting dates.
The options granted are exercisable for a period of
five years from the date on which the options vest.
B. AUTHORIZED ORDINARY SHARES
In May 2003, the Company's shareholders approved an
increase in the Company's authorized ordinary shares
from 70,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares.
C. CLASS ACTION
In July 2003, certain shareholders of the Company
filed a shareholders' class action complaint in the
United States against the Company and certain of its
directors, Wafer Partners and Equity Investors (the
"Defendants"). The plaintiffs have asserted claims
arising under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
alleging misstatements and omissions made by the
Defendants in materials sent to the Company's
shareholders in April 2002 with respect to the
approval of an amendment to the Company's investment
agreements with its Fab 2 investors. The Company
believes that the complaint is without merit and
intends to vigorously contest it.

NOTE 5 - MATERIAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ISRAELI AND U.S. GAAP
With regard to the Company's interim financial statements, the material
differences between GAAP in Israel and in the U.S. relate to the
following. See F below for the presentation of the Company's unaudited
balance sheet as of June 30, 2003 in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
A. PRESENTATION OF CASH AND SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM
INTEREST-BEARING DEPOSITS DESIGNATED FOR INVESTMENTS RELATING
TO FAB 2
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, cash, short-term and long-term
interest-bearing deposits designated for investments relating
to Fab 2 should be excluded from current assets and long-term
investments and presented separately as a non-current asset.
Accordingly, as of June 30, 2003 $2,021 and $12,437 were
reclassified, respectively, from current assets and long-term
investments to a long-term asset (as of December 31, 2002 -
$51,338 and $11,893, respectively).
B. PRESENTATION OF NET LONG-TERM LIABILITIES IN RESPECT OF
EMPLOYEES
Under U.S. GAAP, assets and liabilities relating to severance
arrangements are to be presented separately and are not to be
offset. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2003 an amount of $13,877
was reclassified from other long-term liabilities to long-term
investments (as of December 31, 2002 - $12,368).
C. HEDGING ACTIVITIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH U.S. GAAP (SFAS 133)
Complying with SFAS 133 and SFAS 138 and the related
interpretations thereon with respect to the Company's hedging
transactions as of June 30, 2003 would have resulted in: an
increase in other long-term liabilities in the amount of
$14,613; an increase in other comprehensive loss for the six
months ended June 30, 2003 in the net amount of $3,417 and in
the accumulated other comprehensive loss component of equity
as of such date in the amount of $21,254; and in a decrease of
$6,611 in property and equipment, net as of June 30, 2003.

E. SALE OF SECURITIES
Under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 14 ("APB 14"),
the proceeds from the sale of the securities in January 2002
are to be allocated to each of the securities issued based on
their relative fair value, while according to Israeli GAAP
such treatment is not required. Complying with APB 14, based
on the average market value of each of the securities issued
in the first three days following their issuance (in January
