1. Overview

 

  A. Industry

 

  (1) Industry characteristics and growth potential

 

    TFT-LCD technology is one of the most widely used technologies in the manufacture of flat panel displays and the demand for flat panel displays is growing rapidly. The flat panel display industry is characterized by high entry barriers due to rapidly evolving technology, capital-intensive characteristics, and the significant investments required to achieve economies of scale, among other factors. There is strong competition between a limited number of players within the industry and production capacity in the industry, including ours, is being continually increased.

 

    The demand for LCD panels for Notebook Computers & Monitors has been closely related to the IT industry cycle. The demand for LCD panels for TVs is growing with the start of HDTV broadcasting and as LCD TV is anticipated to play a key role in the digital display market. There is a competition between TFT-LCD and PDP technologies in the area of large flat TV products. In addition, LCD panel markets for applications, such as mobile phones, PDAs, medical applications and automobile navigation systems, among others, are growing steadily.

 

    The average selling prices of our display panels have declined in general and are expected to continually decline with time irrespective of industry-wide fluctuations as a result of, among other factors, technology advances and cost reductions.

 

  (2) Cyclicality

 

    The TFT-LCD business has high cyclicality as well as being a capital intensive business. In spite of the increase in demand for products, this industry has experienced periodic volatility caused by imbalances between demand and supply due to capacity expansion within the industry.

 

    Intense competition and expectations of demand growth may lead panel manufacturers to invest in manufacturing capacity on similar schedules, resulting in a surge in capacity when production is ramped up at new fabrication facilities.

 

    During such surges in capacity growth, our customers can exert and have exerted strong downward pricing pressure, resulting in sharp declines in average selling prices and significant fluctuations in our gross margins. Conversely, demand surges and fluctuations in the supply chain can lead to price increases.

 

  (3) Competitiveness

 

    Our ability to compete successfully depends on factors both within and outside our control, including product pricing, performance and reliability, successful and timely investment and product development, success of our end-brand customers in marketing their brands and products, component and raw material supply costs, foreign exchange rate and general economic and industry conditions.


    Core competitiveness includes technology leadership, capability to design new products and premium products, timely investment in advanced fabs, cost leadership through application of large production lines, innovation of process and productivity, and collaborative customer relationships.

 

    Most importantly, cost leadership and stable and long-term relationships with customers are critical to secure profit even in a buyer’s market.

 

    A substantial portion of our sales is attributable to a limited group of end-brand customers and their designated system integrators. The loss of these end-brand customers, as a result of customers entering into strategic supplier arrangements with our competitors or otherwise, would thus result in reduced sales.

 

    Developing new products and technologies that can be differentiated from those of our competitors is critical to the success of our business. We take active measures to protect our intellectual property internationally by obtaining patents and undertaking monitoring activities in our major markets. It is also necessary to recruit and retain the experienced key staffs and highly skilled line operators.

 

  (4) Sourcing material

 

    Materials are sourced in-house (color filters) as well as from domestic and overseas vendors. Recently, the domestic portion has grown due to the active participation of domestic vendors.

 

    The shortage of raw materials may arise temporarily due to the rapid increase in demand for raw materials resulting from capacity expansion in the TFT-LCD industry.

 

    We have purchased, and expect to purchase, a substantial portion of our equipment from a limited number of qualified foreign and local suppliers. From time to time, increased demand for new equipment may cause lead times to extend beyond those normally required by the equipment vendors.

 

  (5) Others

 

    Most TFT-LCD panel makers are located in Asia.

 

a. Korea:   LG.Philips LCD, Samsung Electronics (including Joint Venture between Samsung Electronics and Sony Corporation), BOE-Hydis
b. Taiwan:   AU Optronics, Chi Mei Optoelectronics, CPT, QDI, etc.
c. Japan:   Sharp, IPS-Alpha, etc.
d. China:   SVA-NEC, BOE-OT, etc.


  B. Company

 

  (1) Business overview

 

    We started the TFT-LCD business in 1998. We currently operate seven fabrication facilities located in Gumi and Paju, Korea and four module facilities located in Gumi & Paju, Korea and Nanjing, China.

 

    We became the first LCD maker in the world which commenced commercial production at a 4th generation fab (P3) in July 2000 and at a 5th generation fab (P4) in March 2002, and we started mass production at our 6th generation fab (P6) in August 2004, which allows us to produce LCD panels for large TVs and monitors. Following mass production at our 7th generation fab (P7) in January 2006, we became a panel maker who operates both 6th and 7th generation lines, which we believe will strengthen our position as a leader in the LCD TV market.

 

    Non-consolidated sales revenue in the first half of 2006 increased by about 19% to KRW 4,504 billion compared to KRW 3,799 billion in the first half of 2005.

 

    Due to a sudden fall in product prices and appreciation of KRW, we incurred a non-consolidated operating loss of KRW 410 billion in the first half of 2006 compared with an operating loss of KRW 134 billion in the first half of 2005. We also incurred a non-consolidated net loss of KRW 274 billion in the first half of 2006 compared with a non-consolidated net loss of KRW 38 billion in the first half of 2005.

 

    Business area of the company for disclosure is limited to LCD business.

  (3) Market characteristics

 

    Due to the recent high growth in the display appliance market for the flat display format, the scale of the LCD market is growing at a rapid rate, resulting in expansion of the market centered mainly in America, Japan, Europe and China.

 

  (4) New business

 

    Due to our downward adjustment of 2006 capital expenditure, P7 is expected to reach a production capacity of 75,000 input glass sheets per month by the end of 2006.

 

    We have commenced building construction of P8 at our Paju display cluster in Korea in anticipation of growth in the TFT-LCD market, and decided to invest in a multi-purpose generation 5.5 facility at P8 plant to meet our customer’s forthcoming needs, particularly in the expanding wide format notebook and high-end monitor segments.

 

    In September 2005, we entered into an agreement to build a “back-end” module production plant in Wroclaw, Poland, becoming the first global LCD industry player to commence such a production facility in Europe. We broke ground on the plant in June 2006 and expect to begin production during the first half of 2007.

 

    In May 2006, we have entered into an investment agreement with the Guangzhou Development District Administrative Committee to construct a module production plant in Guangzhou, China, and in August 2006, we established LG.Philips LCD Guangzhou Co., Ltd.

Report of Independent Accountants

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd.

We have reviewed the accompanying non-consolidated balance sheet of LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2006, and the related non-consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, expressed in Korean won. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these interim financial statements based on our reviews.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the quarterly review standards established by the Securities and Futures Commission of the Republic of Korea. These standards require that we plan and perform our review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the non-consolidated interim financial statements referred to above are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea.

We have audited the non-consolidated balance sheet of LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2005, and the related non-consolidated statements of income, appropriations of retained earnings and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. We expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements in our audit report dated January 20, 2006. These financial statements are not included in this review report. The non-consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005, presented herein for comparative purposes, is consistent, in all material respects, with the above audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2005.

Samil Pricewaterhouse Cooper is the Korean member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers. PricewaterhouseCoopers refer to the network of member firms of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited, each of which is a separate and independent legal entity.

In addition, the procedures and practices used in the Republic of Korea to review such financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries. Accordingly, this report and the accompanying financial statements are for use by those who are informed about Korean accounting principles or review standards and their application in practice.

(Unaudited)

 

1. The Company

LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated in 1985 under the Commercial Code of the Republic of Korea and commenced the manufacturing and sale of Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display (“TFT LCD”) from 1999. On July 26, 1999, LG Electronics Inc., Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. (“Philips”) and the Company entered into a joint venture agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company changed its name from LG LCD CO., Ltd. to LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd. effective August 27, 1999 and on August 31, 1999, the Company issued new shares of common stock to Philips for proceeds of (Won)725,000 million.

In July 2004, pursuant to Securities Registration Statement filed on July 16, 2004, with the Korea Stock Exchange, the Company sold 8,640,000 shares of common stock for proceeds of (Won)298,080 million. Concurrently, pursuant to a Form F-1 registration statement filed on July 15, 2004 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company sold 24,960,000 shares of common stock in the form of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) for proceeds of US$748,800,000.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its interim non-consolidated financial statements are same as those followed by the Company in its preparation of annual non-consolidated financial statements and are summarized below:

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The Company maintains its accounting records in Korean won and prepares statutory financial statements in the Korean language (Hangul) in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. Certain accounting principles applied by the Company that conform with financial accounting standards and accounting principles in the Republic of Korea may not conform with generally accepted accounting principles in other countries. Accordingly, these financial statements are intended for use by those who are informed about Korean accounting principles and practices. The accompanying financial statements have been condensed, restructured and translated into English from the Korean language non-consolidated financial statements. Certain information attached to the Korean language financial statements, but not required for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, is not presented in the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported therein. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from those estimates.

Application of the Statements of Korean Financial Accounting Standards

As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, long-term financial instruments represent key money deposits required to maintain checking accounts and, accordingly, the withdrawal of such deposits is restricted.

7. Stock Appreciation Plan

On April 7, 2005, the Company granted 450,000 shares of stock appreciations rights (“SARs”) for certain executives. Under the terms of this plan, executives, upon exercising their SARs, are entitled to receive cash equal to the excess of the market price of the Company’s common stock over the exercise price of (Won)44,050 per share. The exercise price has been subsequently adjusted from (Won)44,260 to (Won)44,050 due to the additional issuance of common stock in 2005. These SARs are exercisable on or after April 8, 2008, through April 7, 2012. Additionally, when the increase rate of the Company’s share price is the same or less than the increase rate of the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (“KOSPI”) over the three-year period following the grant date, only 50% of the initially granted shares can be exercised.

The options activity under the SARs since April 7, 2005 is as follows:

The Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts to manage the exposure to changes in currency exchange rates in accordance with its foreign currency risk management policy. The use of foreign currency forward contracts allows the Company to reduce its exposure to the risk that the eventual Korean won cash outflows resulting from operating expenses, capital expenditures, purchasing of materials and debt service will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates.

As of June 30, 2006, the Company recorded unrealized gains and losses on outstanding foreign currency forward contracts of (Won)95,096 million and (Won)28,175 million, respectively. Total unrealized gains and losses of (Won)2,623 million and (Won)8,329 million, respectively, were charged to operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, as these contracts did not meet the requirements for a cash flow hedge. Net unrealized gains and losses, net of related taxes, incurred relating to cash flow hedges from forecasted exports, were recorded as capital adjustments.

The forecasted hedged transactions are expected to occur on June 13, 2007. The aggregate amount of all deferred gains and losses of (Won)92,473 million and (Won)19,846 million, respectively, recorded net of tax under capital adjustments, are expected to be included in the determination of gain and loss within a year from June 30, 2006.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded realized gains of (Won)149,897 million (2005: (Won)65,481 million) on foreign currency forward contracts upon settlement, and realized losses of (Won)34,503 million (2005: (Won)14,166 million).

In August 2002, the Company filed a complaint against Chunghwa Picture Tubes, Tatung Company and Tatung Co. of America, alleging patent infringement relating to liquid crystal displays and the manufacturing process for TFT-LCDs. Subsequently, the Company filed a complaint against the customers of Chunghwa Picture Tubes, including ViewSonic Corp., Jeans Co, Lite-On Technology Corp., Lite-On Technology International, Inc., TPV Technology and Invision Peripheral Inc. In June 2004, Chunghwa Picture Tubes filed a counter-claim against the Company in the United States District Court under the Central District of California for alleged infringement of certain patents and violation of U.S. antitrust laws. The Company also filed a complaint against Chunghwa Picture Tubes with the American Arbitration Association in connection with the ownership of certain patents. In June 2006, the American Arbitration Association decided in favor of the Company.

In May 2004, the Company filed a complaint against Tatung Co., the parent company of Chunghwa Picture Tubes and ViewSonic Corp. and others, claiming patent infringement of rear mountable liquid crystal display devices in the United States District of Delaware and the Patent Country Court in the United Kingdom.

In January 2005, Chunghwa Picture Tubes filed a complaint for patent infringement against the Company. On May 13, 2005, the Company also filed a complaint against Chunghwa Picture Tubes, Tatung Company and Viewsonic Corporation, alleging patent infringement related to liquid crystal display and the manufacturing process for TFT-LCDs in the United States District of Delaware. On September 20, 2005, the United States District Court under the Central District of California dismissed the patent case against Tatung Company and other defendants regarding the patent infringement by Chunghwa Picture Tubes relating to side mounting patent. Thereafter, the Company has revised its claim and has refiled the above complaint including the side mounting patent. The Company’s management does not expect that the outcome in any of these legal proceedings, individually or collectively, will have any material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

10. Earnings Per Share

Earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Ordinary income (loss) per share is computed by dividing ordinary income (loss) allocated to common stock, which is net income (loss) allocated to common stock as adjusted by extraordinary gains or losses, net of related income taxes, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Earnings (loss) per share for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, is calculated as follows:

 

     For the three-month
periods ended June 30,
   For the six-month
periods ended June 30,
 
(in millions, except for per share amount)    2006     2005    2006     2005  

Net income (loss) as reported on the statements of operations

   (Won) (321,520 )   (Won) 41,066    (Won) (274,002 )   (Won) (37,764 )

Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding

     358       325      358       325  
                               

Earnings (loss) per share

   (Won) (899 )   (Won) 126    (Won) (766 )   (Won) (116 )
                               

The Company has issued no diluted securities until convertible bonds were issued on April 19, 2005. Diluted loss per share is identical to basic loss per share and diluted ordinary loss per share to basic ordinary loss per share as the Company recorded net loss and ordinary loss during the three-month period and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006, and six-month period ended June 30, 2005. Additionally, diluted earnings per share is identical to basic earnings per share and diluted ordinary income per share to basic ordinary income per share as convertible bonds have no dilutive effect for the three-month period ended June 30, 2005.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed by the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “consolidated companies”) in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, are same as those followed by the company in its preparation of annual consolidated financial statements and are summarized below.

Basis of Consolidated Financial Statement Presentation

The Company maintains its accounting records in Korean won and prepares statutory financial statements in the Korean language (Hangul) in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. Certain accounting principles applied by the Company that conform with financial accounting standards and accounting principles in the Republic of Korea may not conform with generally accepted accounting principles in other countries. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements are intended for use by those who are informed about Korean accounting principles and practices. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been condensed, restructured and translated into English from the Korean language consolidated financial statements. Certain information attached to the Korean language financial statements, but not required for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations, is not presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported therein. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from those estimates.

Application of the Statements of Korean Financial Accounting Standards

The Korean Accounting Standards Board has published a series of Statements of Korean Financial Accounting Standards (SKFAS), which will gradually replace the existing financial accounting standards established by the Korean Financial Supervisory Commission. As SKFAS Nos. 15 through 17 became applicable to the Company on January 1, 2005, the Company adopted these Standards in its financial statements covering periods beginning January 1, 2005.

And as SKFAS Nos. 18 through 20 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2006, the Company adopted these Standards in its financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006.

3. Financial Instruments

As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, long-term financial instruments represent key money deposits required to maintain checking accounts and, accordingly, the withdrawal of such deposits is restricted.

On April 7, 2005, the Company granted 450,000 shares of stock appreciations rights (“SARs”) for certain executives. Under the terms of this plan, executives, upon exercising their SARs, are entitled to receive cash equal to the excess of the market price of the Company’s common stock over the exercise price of (Won)44,050 per share. The exercise price decreased from (Won)44,260 to (Won)44,050 due to the additional issuance of common stock in 2005. These SARs are exercisable on or after April 8, 2008, through April 7, 2012. Additionally, when the increase rate of the Company’s share price is the same or less than the increase rate of the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (“KOSPI”) over the three-year period following the grant date, only 50% of the initially granted shares can be exercised.

In September 2004, the Company entered into a five-year accounts receivable securitization program (the “Program”) with a financial institution. The Program allows the Company to sell, on a revolving basis, an undivided interest up to US$450 million in eligible accounts receivables of four subsidiaries, namely, LG.Philips LCD America (“LPLA”), LG.Philips LCD Germany (“LPLG”), LG.Philips LCD Taiwan (“LPLT”) and LG.Philips LCD Japan (“LPLJ”), while retaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the receivables. The eligible receivables of LPLA and LPLG are sold without legal recourse to third party conduits through LG. Philips LCD America Finance Corporation, a qualifying bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity, which is wholly owned by LPLA but is not consolidated for financial reporting purposes. The eligible receivables of LPLT and LPLJ are sold without legal recourse to third party conduits through ABN AMRO Taipei Branch and ABN AMRO Tokyo Branch, respectively.

As of June 30, 2006, the outstanding balance of securitized accounts receivable held by the third party conduits totaled (Won)400,145 million (December 31, 2005: (Won)272,571 million), of which the Company’s subordinated retained interest was (Won)78,720 million (December 31, 2005 : (Won)52,532 million). Accordingly, (Won)321,425 million (December 31, 2005: (Won)220,039 million) of accounts receivable balances, net of applicable allowances, was removed from the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2006. Losses including the loss on sale of receivables, various program and facility fees associated with the Program totaled approximately (Won)3,043 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006.

As of June 30, 2006, in relation to its TFT-LCD business, the Company has technical license agreements with Hitachi and others, and has trademark license agreements with LG Corporation and Philips Electronics.

The Controlling Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts to manage the exposure to changes in currency exchange rates in accordance with its foreign currency risk management policy. The use of foreign currency forward contracts allows the Company to reduce its exposure to the risk that the eventual Korean won cash outflows resulting from operating expenses, capital expenditures, purchasing of materials and debt service will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates.

As of June 30, 2006, the Controlling Company recorded unrealized gains and losses on outstanding foreign currency forward contracts of (Won)95,096 million and (Won)28,175 million, respectively. Total unrealized gains and losses of (Won)2,623 million and (Won)8,329 million, respectively, were charged to operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, as these contracts did not meet the requirements for a cash flow hedge. Net unrealized gains and losses, net of related taxes, incurred relating to cash flow hedges from forecasted exports, were recorded as capital adjustments.

The forecasted hedged transactions are expected to occur on June 13, 2007. The aggregate amount of all deferred gains and losses of (Won)92,473 million and (Won)19,846 million, respectively, recorded net of tax under capital adjustments, are expected to be included in the determination of gain and loss within a year from June 30, 2006.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded realized gains of (Won)149,897 million (2005: (Won)65,481 million) on foreign currency forward contracts upon settlement, and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, realized losses amounted to (Won)34,503 million (2005: (Won)14,166 million).

The Controlling Company entered into cross-currency swap contracts to manage the exposure to changes in currency exchange rates in accordance with its foreign currency risk management policy and to manage the exposure to changes in interest rates related to floating rate notes. These transactions do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting for financial statement purposes. Therefore, the resulting realized and unrealized gains or losses, measured by quoted market prices, are recognized in current operations as gains or losses as the exchange rates change.

The Controlling Company is subject to several legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. In August 2002, the Controlling Company filed a complaint against Chunghwa Picture Tubes, Tatung Company and Tatung Co. of America, alleging patent infringement relating to liquid crystal displays and the manufacturing process for TFT-LCDs. Subsequently, the Controlling Company filed a complaint against customers of Chunghwa Picture Tubes, including ViewSonic Corp., Jeans Co, Lite-On Technology Corp., Lite-On Technology International, Inc., TPV Technology and Invision Peripheral Inc. In June 2004, Chunghwa Picture Tubes filed a counter-claim against the Controlling Company in the United States District Court for the Central District of California for alleged infringement of certain patents and violation of U.S. antitrust laws. The Controlling Company also filed a complaint against Chunghwa Picture Tubes with the American Arbitration Association in connection with the

ownership of certain patents. In June 2006, the American Arbitration Association decided that the ownership of certain patents is in the Company.

In May 2004, the Controlling Company filed a complaint against Tatung Co., the parent company of Chunghwa Picture Tubes and ViewSonic Corp. and others, claiming patent infringement of rear mountable liquid crystal display devices in the United States District of Delaware and the Patent Country Court in the United Kingdom. On November 28, 2005, the Controlling Company lost its patent infringement case against Tatung Company and ViewSonic Corp. at first instance in Patent Country Court in United Kingdom. On March 13, 2006, the Controlling Company appealed the decision at the Court of Appeals.

In January 2005, Chunghwa Picture Tubes filed a complaint for patent infringement against the Controlling Company. On May 13, 2005, the Controlling Company also filed a complaint against Chunghwa Picture Tubes, Tatung Company and Viewsonic Corporation, alleging patent infringement related to liquid crystal display and the manufacturing process for TFT-LCDs in the United States District of Delaware. On September 20, 2005, the United States District Court for the Central District of California dismissed the patent case against Tatung Company and other defendants regarding the patent infringement by Chunghwa Picture Tubes relating to side mounting patent. Thereafter, the Controlling Company has revised its claim and has refilled the above complaint including the side mounting patent. The Controlling Company’s management does not expect that the outcome in any of these legal proceedings, individually or collectively, will have any material adverse effect on the Controlling Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

10. Loss Per Share

Loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Ordinary loss per share is computed by dividing ordinary loss allocated to common stock, which is net loss allocated to common stock as adjusted by extraordinary gains or losses, net of related income taxes, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Loss per share for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, are calculated as follows:

 

(in millions, except per share amounts)    2006    2005

Net loss as reported on the statements of operations

   274,002    37,764

Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding

   358    325
         

Loss per share

   766    116
         

The Company has issued no diluted securities until the Company issued convertible bonds on April 19, 2005. Diluted loss per share is identical to basic loss per share and diluted ordinary loss per share to basic ordinary loss per share as the company recorded net loss and ordinary loss during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

Additionally, earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2005, were as follows:

6. Stock Appreciation Plan

Effective January 1, 2005, the company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”). SFAS 123(R) establishes accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services. SFAS No. 123(R) requires that an award that is classified as a liability to be initially measured at its grant date fair value and remeasured at fair value at the end of each reporting period until the award is settled or expires. The measurement is based on the current stock price and other relevant factors. The difference between the fair value amounts is recognized as compensation expense during the requisite service period, based on the percentage of the requisite service that the employee has rendered as of that date. In accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), compensation expense is remeasured at each reporting date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee requisite service period.

The following table shows total stock-based compensation expense included in the consolidated statement of operations:

 

(in millions of Korean won)    June 30, 2006  

Cost of goods sold

   (Won) 405  

Selling general and administrative

     217  

Income tax benefits

     (308 )
        

Total stock-based compensation expense

     314  
        

There were no capitalized stock-based compensation costs at June 30, 2006

In connection with the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the company assessed its valuation technique and related assumptions. The company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes valuation model, consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123(R) and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. Key input assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the grant price of the award, the expected option term, volatility of the company’s stock, the risk-free rate and the company’s dividend yield. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by selected managements who receive SARs, and subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by the company under SFAS 123(R).

7. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to several legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. In August 2002, the Company filed a complaint against Chunghwa Picture Tubes, Tatung Company and Tatung Co. of America, alleging patent infringement relating to liquid crystal displays and the manufacturing process for TFT-LCDs. Subsequently the Company filed a complaint against customers of Chunghwa Picture Tubes, including ViewSonic Corp., Jeans Co, Lite-On Technology Corp., Lite-On Technology International, Inc., TpV Technology and Invision Peripheral Inc. In June 2004, Chunghwa Picture Tubes filed a counter-claim against the Company in the United States District Court for the Central District of California for alleged infringement of

LG. Philips LCD Co., Ltd.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

June 30, 2006 and 2005

 

certain patents and violation of U.S. antitrust laws. In May 2004, the Company filed a complaint against Tatung Co., the parent company of Chunghwa Picture Tubes and ViewSonic Corp. and others, claiming patent infringement of rear mountable liquid crystal display devices in the United States District of Delaware and the Patent Country Court in the United Kingdom. The Company also filed a complaint against Chunghwa Picture Tubes with the American Arbitration Association in connection with the ownership of certain patents. In June 2006, the American Arbitration Association decided that the ownership of certain patents is in the Company. In January 2005, Chunghwa Picture Tubes filed a complaint for patent infringement against the Company. On May 13, 2005, the Company also filed a complaint against Chunghwa Picture Tubes, Tatung Company and Viewsonic Corporation, alleging patent infringement relating to liquid crystal displays and the manufacturing process for TFT-LCDs in the United States District of Delaware. On September 20, 2005, the United States District Court for the Central District of California dismissed the patent case against Tatung Company and other defendants regarding the patent infringement by Chunghwa Picture Tubes relating to side mounting patent. Thereafter, the company has revised its claim and has refilled the above complaint including the side mounting patents.
