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.

 

1


Table of Contents
  - 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 third quarter of 2006 increased by around 31% to KRW 2,730 billion compared to KRW 2,086 billion in the second quarter of 2006 and increased by 13% compared to KRW 2,416 billion in the third quarter of 2005.

 

  - Due to the continuous fall in product prices, we incurred a non-consolidated operating loss of KRW 384 billion in the third quarter of 2006 compared to a non-consolidated operating loss of KRW 445 billion in the second quarter of 2006. We also incurred a non-consolidated net loss of KRW 321 billion in the third quarter of 2006 compared to a non-consolidated net loss of KRW 322 billion in the second quarter of 2006.

 

  - 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 October 2006, we formed a strategic alliance with Toshiba Corporation whereby Toshiba would take a 19.9% equity participation in our subsidiary, a LCD module plant, in Poland currently under construction in Wroclaw, Poland and LG.Philips LCD Poland Sp. z o.o. would supply Toshiba with a quantity of LCD TV panels produced in the plant in Poland.

 

  - In May 2006, we 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. which plant is under construction.

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 September 30, 2006, and the related non-consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 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 operations, 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.

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

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. 18 through 20 became applicable for the Company on January 1, 2006, the Company adopted these Standards in its financial statements covering periods beginning January 1, 2006.

 

3. Financial Instruments

As of September 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.

 

4. Inventories

Inventories as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, consist of the following:

 

(in millions of Korean won)    2006     2005

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, the Company recorded ramp-up costs of (Won)18,043 million to counter the unusual low volume of production.

7. Stock Appreciation Plan

On April 7, 2005, the Company granted 450,000 shares of stock appreciations rights (“SARs”) for certain executives with the exercise price of (Won) 44,260 per share. 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. The exercise price has been subsequently adjusted from (Won) 44,260 to (Won) 44,050 per share 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:

As of September 30, 2006, the Company recorded unrealized gains and losses on outstanding foreign currency forward contracts of (Won)54,869 million and (Won)20,834 million, respectively. Total unrealized gains and losses of (Won)2,379 million and (Won)2,835 million, respectively, were charged to operations for the nine-month period ended September 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 September 6, 2007. The aggregate amount of all deferred gains and losses of (Won)52,490 million and (Won)17,999 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 September 30, 2006.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, the Company recorded realized gains of (Won)201,617 million (2005: (Won)85,384 million) on foreign currency forward contracts upon settlement, and realized losses of (Won)61,892 million (2005: (Won)56,250 million).

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 County Court in the United Kingdom. On November 28, 2005, the Company lost its patent infringement case against Tatung Company and ViewSonic Corp. at first instance in Patent County Court in United Kingdom. On March 13, 2006, the Company appealed the decision at the Court of Appeals.

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. In July 2006, the Jury in Delaware issued a verdict that Chunghwa Picture Tubes had willfully infringed a patent owned by the Company, and awarded US $52.4 million in damages to the Company.

On September 20, 2005, the U.S District Court for the Central District of California dismissed some of the patent case against Tatung Company and other defendants regarding the patent infringement by Chunghwa Picture Tubes relating to side mounting patent. Thereafter, the Court granted the Company’s motion to include the dismissed claims in the case against Tatung and other defendants.

In January 2006, New Medium Technology LLC, AV Technologies LLC, IP Innovation LLC, and Technology Licensing Corporation filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.

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.

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 nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006.

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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2005. The diluted earnings per share and diluted ordinary income per share for three-month period ended September 30, 2005, is \649.

Dilutive earnings per share for the three-month period ended September 30, 2005, is as follows:

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 the 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. 18 through 20 became applicable to the Company on January 1, 2006, the Company adopted these Standards in its financial statements covering periods beginning January 1, 2006.

 

3. Financial Instruments

As of September 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 with the exercise price of (Won) 44,260 per share. 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. The exercise price has been subsequently adjusted from (Won) 44,260 to (Won) 44,050 per share 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:

On May 21, 2004, employees of the Company formed an employee stock ownership association, (“ESOA”), which has the right to purchase on behalf of its membership up to 20% (1,728,000 shares) of shares offered publicly in Korea, pursuant to Korean Securities and Exchange Act. Employees purchased the shares through ESOA with the loan provided by the Company at the initial public offering price ((Won)34,500) and put under individual employee’s account. 20% of the 20% of shares (345,600 shares) purchased by employees with loans from the Company is accounted for as a restricted stock award which vests over four years. Unearned compensation, shown as a deduction of Capital Surplus, will be amortized over the 4 year vesting period. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2006, the Company recorded compensation expense of (Won)2,453 million.

 

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.

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).
