2.	Business

Business overview

We were incorporated in February 1985 under the laws of the Republic of Korea. LG Electronics and LG Semicon transferred their respective LCD business to us in 1998, and since then, our business has been focused on the research, development, manufacture and sale of display panels, applying technologies such as TFT-LCD, LTPS-LCD and OLED.

As of June 30, 2013, we operated TFT-LCD and OLED production facilities and a LCD research center in Paju, Korea and TFT-LCD production facilities in Gumi, Korea. We have also established subsidiaries in the Americas, Europe and Asia.

As of June 30, 2013, our business consisted of the manufacture and sale of LCD and OLED panels and monitor products. Because our non-LCD business represented an extremely small portion of our assets and revenues as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2013, we have included them as part of our LCD reporting business segment.

Industry

(1)

Industry characteristics and growth potential

•

TFT-LCD technology is one of the widely used technologies in the manufacture of flat panel displays, and the demand for flat panel displays is growing. The flat panel display industry is characterized by 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 intense competition among the players in the industry, and the industry as a whole has experienced continued growth in its production capacity in response to growth in demand for flat panel displays.

•

The demand for LCD panels for notebook computers and monitors has stagnated due to market maturation. The demand for LCD panels for television sets has been growing as digital broadcasting is becoming more common and as LCD television has come to play an important role in the digital display market. In addition, the demand for LCD panels for tablets, smartphones, industrial products and automobile displays, among others, has shown continued growth.

•

The average selling prices of LCD panels may continue to decline with time irrespective of general business cycles as a result of, among other factors, technology advancements and cost reductions.

(2)

Cyclicality

•

The TFT-LCD business is highly cyclical and sensitive to fluctuations in the general economy. While demand for products has steadily grown, the rate of such growth has decreased, and the industry experiences periodic volatility caused by imbalances between supply and demand due to capacity expansion within the industry.

•

Macroeconomic factors and other causes of business cycles can affect the rate of growth in demand for display panels. Accordingly, if supply exceeds demand, average selling prices of display panels may decrease. Conversely, if growth in demand outpaces growth in supply, average selling prices may increase.

(3)

Market conditions

•

Since 2011, due to a slowdown in growth in the TFT-LCD industry, TFT-LCD panel makers have slowed their respective rates of production capacity growth, while a number of them are pursuing other strategic alternatives such as mergers or formation of new alliances.

•

Most TFT-LCD panel makers are located in Asia.

a. Korea: LG Display, Samsung Display, Hydis Technologies, etc.

b. Taiwan: AU Optronics, Innolux, CPT, HannStar, etc.

c. Japan: Japan Display, Sharp, Panasonic LCD, etc.

d. China: BOE, CSOT, etc.

Competitiveness

•

Our ability to compete successfully depends on factors both within and outside our control, including product pricing, our relationship with customers, successful and timely investment and product development, cost competitiveness, success in marketing to our end-brand customers, component and raw material supply costs, foreign exchange rates and general economic and industry conditions.

•

In order to compete effectively, it is critical to be cost competitive and maintain stable and long-term relationships with customers which will enable us to be profitable even in a buyer’s market.

•

A substantial portion of our sales is attributable to a limited number 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 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. It is important that 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 experienced key managerial personnel and skilled line operators.

•

As a leading technology innovator in the display industry, we continue to focus on delivering differentiated value to our customers by developing new technologies and products, including in the categories of three-dimensional (“3D”), touch screens and next generation displays. With respect to 3D technology, we have commenced mass production of high definition 3D panels with reduced degrees of “crosstalk,” or the degree of 3D image overlapping, of less than 1% (which is less than what the human eye can perceive). We have also acquired the technical skills and have established a supply chain management system that enables us to provide one-stop solutions to our customers with respect to touch module products. In addition, we have shown that we are technologically a step ahead of the competition by developing products such as 10.1-inch flexible LCDs, 2.6 mm thin televisions (the thinnest in the world at the time) and 19-inch flexible e-papers. We are a leader in large OLED panel display technology, as demonstrated by our 55-inch OLED display panel unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January 2012, which was the largest OLED panel at the time.

•

Moreover, we entered into long-term sales contracts with major global firms to secure customers and expand partnerships for technology development.

New businesses

•

In order to meet the rapidly increasing market demand for large TFT-LCD panels, we commenced mass production at P83, an eighth generation fabrication line located in our P8 facility, and P9, a new eighth generation production facility, in March 2011 and June 2012, respectively.

•

We also plan to strengthen our market position in future display technologies by strengthening our OLED business, accelerating the development of flexible display technologies and maintaining our leadership position in the LED backlight LCD market.

•

We are making an effort to increase our competitiveness, including in the LCD component parts market, by forming cooperative relationships with suppliers and purchasers of our products. As part of this effort, in March 2005, we established a joint venture company, Paju Electric Glass Co., Ltd., with Nippon Electric Glass Co., Ltd. We invested ￦14.4 billion in return for a 40% interest in Paju Electric Glass Co., Ltd. In November 2010 and April 2011, we invested an additional ￦14.8 billion and ￦4.4 billion, respectively, in Paju Electric Glass Co., Ltd. but the additional investments did not change our percentage interest in Paju Electric Glass Co., Ltd.

•

As part of our strategy to expand our production capacity overseas, we signed an investment agreement and a joint venture agreement in November 2009 with the City of Guangzhou, China, to build an eighth-generation panel fabrication facility in China and held a groundbreaking ceremony in May 2012. In December 2012, we established a joint venture company, LG Display (China) Co., Ltd., with Guangzhou GET Technologies Development Co., Ltd. and Shenzhen SKYWORTH-RGB Electronics Co., Ltd. to manufacture and sell eighth-generation panels. We made an initial investment of US$28 million and acquired a 70% equity interest in LG Display (China) Co., Ltd. In March 2013, we made an additional investment of US$112 million, but the additional investment did not change our percentage interest in LG Display (China) Co., Ltd.

•

In December 2009, we acquired a 30.6% limited partnership interest in LB Gemini New Growth Fund No. 16. Under the limited partnership agreement, we agreed to invest a total amount of ￦30 billion in the fund, and as of December 31, 2010, we had invested ￦8.3 billion in the fund. By becoming a limited partner of this fund, our aim is to seek direct investment opportunities as well as to receive benefits from the investment. In February 2011, we received a distribution of ￦1.4 billion from the fund, and in March and April 2011, we invested an additional ￦1.9 billion and ￦3.1 billion, respectively, in the fund. In June 2011, we received a further distribution of ￦0.7 billion as return of principal and ￦0.9 billion as dividends and we invested an additional ￦1.2 billion in the fund. In December 2011, we invested an additional ￦2.0 billion in the fund. In April, July and September 2012, we received distributions of ￦1.0 billion, ￦0.8 billion and ￦1.8 billion from the fund, respectively. In each of September, November and December 2012, we invested an additional ￦1.5 billion in the fund. In March and May 2013, we received distributions of ￦1.1 billion and ￦0.3 billion from the fund, respectively, and in June 2013, we invested an additional ￦1.5 billion in the fund. The additional investments did not change our investment commitment amount of ￦30 billion or our limited partnership interest in the fund, which remained at 30.6%.

•

In November 2010, in order to build Backlight-Module-System (BMS) lines that would help differentiate our technical skills from those of our competitors and increase our cost competitiveness, we entered into a joint venture with Compal Electronics, Inc., a Taiwanese company, and established LUCOM Display Technology (Kunshan) Ltd. in Kunshan, China. We invested US$2.3 million and acquired a 51% equity interest in LUCOM Display Technology (Kunshan) Ltd. In February and April 2011, we invested an additional US$3.1 million and US$2.3 million, respectively, in LUCOM Display Technology (Kunshan) Ltd., but the additional investments did not change our percentage interest in LUCOM Display Technology (Kunshan) Ltd.

•

In April 2011, in order to enhance the product quality and assist the local development of coaters, a component used in our TFT-LCD products, we invested ￦20 billion and acquired a 16.6% interest in Narae Nanotech Corporation, a Korean equipment manufacturer. In June 2011, we invested an additional ￦10.0 billion and acquired a further 7.7% interest in Narae Nanotech Corporation. As of June 30, 2013, we held a 23% equity interest in Narae Nanotech Corporation.

•

In November 2011, in order to improve our cost competitiveness with respect to the glass substrate etching stage of our TFT-LCD panel manufacturing process, we invested ￦10.6 billion and acquired a 20.3% interest in Avatec Co., Ltd., a third party glass substrate etching processor. Avatec Co., Ltd. increased its paid-in capital in October 2012 and January 2013. We did not subscribe to additional equity on those occasions and, as a result, our equity interest in Avatec Co., Ltd. was diluted to 16.3% after the January 2013 paid-in capital increase.

•

In December 2011, in order to expand our module production capacity, we established LG Display U.S.A. Inc. in Texas, United States, and LG Display Reynosa S.A. de C.V. in Reynosa, Mexico. We invested in the form of paid-in capital ￦12.4 billion and ￦92 million in LG Display U.S.A. Inc. and LG Display Reynosa S.A. de C.V., respectively. We currently own a 100% interest in LG Display U.S.A. Inc. and a 1% interest in LG Display Reynosa S.A. de C.V. LG Display U.S.A. Inc. owns the remaining 99% interest in LG Display Reynosa S.A. de C.V.

•

In April 2012, in order to improve our cost competitiveness with respect to tempered glass used for touch screens, we invested ￦2.0 billion and acquired a 19.8% interest in Glonix Co., Ltd.

6.	Market Risks and Risk Management

Market risks

Our industry continues to experience continued declines in the average selling prices of display panels irrespective of cyclical fluctuations in the industry, and our margins would be adversely impacted if prices decrease faster than we are able to reduce our costs.

The TFT-LCD industry is highly competitive. We have experienced pressure on the prices and margins of our major products due largely to additional industry capacity from panel makers in Korea, Taiwan, China and Japan. Our main competitors in the industry include Samsung Display, Hydis Technologies, AU Optronics, Innolux, CPT, HannStar, Japan Display, Sharp, Panasonic LCD, BOE and CSOT.

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 or failure of our end-brand customers in marketing their brands and products, component and raw material supply costs, and general economic and industry conditions. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to compete successfully with our competitors on these fronts and, as a result, we may be unable to sustain our current market position.

Our results of operations are subject to exchange rate fluctuations. To the extent that we incur costs in one currency and generate sales in a different currency, our profit margins may be affected by changes in the exchange rates between the two currencies. Our sales of display panels are denominated mainly in U.S. dollars, whereas our purchases of raw materials are denominated mainly in U.S. dollars and Japanese Yen. Our risk management policy regarding foreign currency risk is to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on our foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

Risk management

The average selling prices of display panels have declined in general and could continue to decline with time irrespective of industry-wide cyclical fluctuations. Certain contributing factors for this decline will be beyond our ability to control and manage. However, in anticipation of such price decline we have continued to develop new technologies and have implemented various cost reduction measures. In addition, in order to manage our risk against foreign currency fluctuations, we may from time to time enter into cross-currency interest rate swap contracts and foreign currency forward contracts.

7.	Derivative Contracts

Currency risks

•

We are exposed to currency risks on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in currencies other than in Won, our functional currency. These currencies are primarily the U.S. dollar, the Japanese Yen and the Euro.

•

We generally use forward exchange contracts with a maturity of less than one year to hedge against currency risks.

•

Interest on borrowings is denominated in the currency of the borrowing. Generally, borrowings are denominated in currencies that match the cash flows generated by our underlying operations, primarily in Won and the U.S. dollar.

•

In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, we ensure that our net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates, when necessary, to address short-term imbalances. In addition, we also adjust the factoring volumes of foreign currency denominated receivables and utilize usances as means of settling accounts payable relating to capital expenditures for our facilities, in response to currency fluctuations.

Interest rate risks

•

Our exposure to interest rate risks relates primarily to our long term debt obligations. As of June 30, 2013, we had no interest swap contracts outstanding.

Environmental Matters

We are subject to a variety of environmental regulations and we may be subject to fines or restrictions that could cause our operations to be interrupted. Our manufacturing processes generate worksite waste, including water and air pollutants, at various stages in the manufacturing process, and we are subject to a variety of laws and regulations relating to the use, storage, discharge and disposal of such chemical by-products and waste substances. We have installed various types of anti-pollution equipment, consistent with environmental standards, for the treatment of chemical waste and equipment for the recycling of treated waste water at our various facilities. However, we cannot provide assurance that environmental claims will not be brought against us or that the local or national governments will not take steps toward adopting more stringent environmental standards. Any failure on our part to comply with any present or future environmental regulations could result in the assessment of damages or imposition of fines against us, suspension of production or a cessation of operations. In addition, environmental regulations could require us to acquire costly equipment or to incur other significant compliance expenses that may materially and negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We have also voluntarily agreed to reduce emission of greenhouse gases, such as triflouride oxide and perfluoro compounds, or PFCs, including sulfur hexafluoride, or SF6, gases, by installing abatement systems to meet voluntary emissions targets for the TFT-LCD industry for 2010. As part of our voluntary activities to reduce emission of greenhouse gases, we installed triflouride oxide abatement systems at all of our production lines.

We also installed an SF6 abatement system in P1 in April 2005, and have taken steps to install additional SF6 abatement systems through the use of Clean Development Mechanism, or CDM, projects. We manage our CDM projects jointly with LG International Corp. On July 10, 2010, after becoming the first TFT-LCD company to receive the UNFCCC CDM Executive Board’s approval of our CDM project, we installed an SF6 abatement system in P6. We received a total of 343,971 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent of certified emission reduction credits, or CERs, from the UN for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in P6 during the period from August 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010, all of which was sold in December 2011. We also received a total of 579,583 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent of CERs for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in P6 during the period from January 1, 2011 to January 31, 2012. In August 2011, we commenced the installation of an SF6 abatement system in P7 through the implementation of CDM projects which became operational in February 2012. We received a total of 222,270 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent of CERs from the UN for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in P6 and P7 during the period from February 1, 2012 to March 31, 2012. We intend to ask a third party accreditation agency to examine the reduction of our greenhouse gas emissions since April 1, 2012 as part of our application for receiving CERs from the UN.

In 2010, we were designated by the Korean government as one of the companies subject to greenhouse gas emission and energy consumption targets under the Framework Act on Low Carbon, Green Growth. As a result, we may need to invest in additional equipment and there may be other costs associated with meeting reduction targets, which may have a negative effect on our profitability or production activities. In addition, if we fail to meet a reduction target and are unable to comply with the government’s subsequent enforcement notice relating to such failure, we may be subject to fines.

In connection with the greenhouse gas emission and energy reduction target system, we submitted a statement of our domestic emissions and energy usage for the year 2012 to the Korean government (i.e., the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Trade, Industry & Energy) in March 2013 after it was certified by the Korean Foundation for Quality, a government-designated certification agency.

The table below sets forth yearly levels of our greenhouse gases emissions and energy usage in the statement submitted to the Korean government:

(Unit: thousand tonnes of CO₂ equivalent; Tetra Joules)


Category	2012		2011		2010
Greenhouse gases		6,161		5,928		5,576
Energy		61,169		53,223		45,841

In addition, in order to improve the efficiency and reliability of measuring our greenhouse gas emission reduction activities, we have implemented improvements to our Plant Energy & Environment System (our electronic greenhouse gas inventory system) in 2012.

Operations at our manufacturing plants are subject to regulation and periodic monitoring by the Korean Ministry of Environment and local environmental protection authorities. We believe that we have adopted adequate anti-pollution measures and have minimized our impact on the environment by improving existing and developing new technologies for the effective maintenance of environmental protection standards consistent with local industry practice. In addition, we have continually monitored, and we believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with, the applicable environmental laws and regulations in Korea. Expenditures related to such compliance may be substantial. Such expenditures are generally included in capital expenditures. As required by Korean law, we employ licensed environmental specialists for each environmental area, including air quality, water quality, toxic materials and radiation. We currently have ISO 14001 certifications with respect to the environmental record for P1 through P98, our OLED production facility in Gumi, Korea, our Gumi module production plant and our Paju module production plant, as well as our module production plants in Nanjing and Guangzhou, China.

In addition, with respect to P1 through P98 and our module production plants in Gumi and Paju, we have established and are currently operating a new green management system, which was certified by BSI Group Korea in November 2011. Furthermore, we have been certified by the Korean Ministry of Environment as a “Green Company”, with respect to our environmental record for P1 and our module production plant in Gumi since 1997, with respect to our operations at P2 and P3 since 2006, and with respect to our operations at P4, P5 and P6 since 2008. Also, we received certification to self-inspect designated waste products with respect to our Paju plant by the Ministry of Environment in 2011, which was recertified in 2013. In addition, in recognition of our efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we were awarded a commendation from the Minster of Environment in the efforts against climate change category in the 2013 Green Management Awards, which was jointly hosted by the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.

We also have an internal monitoring system to control the use of hazardous substances in the manufacture of our products as we are committed to compliance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations, including European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2011/65/EU, and restricts the use of certain hazardous substances in the manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment.

In addition, as part of our commitment to purchase environment-friendly raw materials, we have implemented a green purchasing system that prevents the introduction of hazardous materials at the purchasing stage. The green purchasing system has been a key component in our efforts to comply with RoHS and other applicable environmental laws and regulation.

In October 2005, we became the first TFT-LCD company to receive accreditation as an International Accredited Testing Laboratory by the Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme, which is operated by the Korean Ministry of Knowledge Economy. In September 2006, we received international accreditation from TUV SUD, EU’s German accreditation agency, as a RoHS testing laboratory. Our efforts to keep pace with the increasingly stringent accreditation standards and to receive and maintain such accreditations are part of our on-going efforts to systematically monitor environmentally controlled substances in our component parts inventory. Moreover, we participated in reforming IEC 62321, an international testing standard published by the International Electrotechnical Commission and used by RoHS, and the commission adopted our halogen-free combustion ion chromatography method in as IEC 62321-3-2, which was published in June 2013.

Independent Auditors’ Review Report

Based on a report originally issued in Korean

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

LG Display Co., Ltd.:

Reviewed Financial Statements

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements of LG Display Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Group”) which comprise the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as of June 30, 2013 and the condensed consolidated interim statements of comprehensive income (loss) for each of the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards No. 1034, Interim Financial Reporting, and for such internal controls as management determines necessary to enable the preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to issue a report on these condensed consolidated interim financial statements based on our reviews.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the Review Standards for Quarterly and Semiannual Financial Statements established by the Security and Futures Commission of the Republic of Korea. A review of interim financial information consists principally of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements referred to above are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards No. 1034, Interim Financial Reporting.

Emphasis of Matter

As discussed in note 17 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the Group has been or is under investigations by antitrust authorities in several countries with respect to possible anti-competitive activities in the Liquid Crystal Display (“LCD”) industry and named as defendants in a number of individual lawsuits and class actions in the United States and Canada, respectively, in connection with alleged antitrust violations concerning the sale of LCD panels. The Group estimated and recognized losses related to these investigations and alleged violations. However, actual losses are subject to change in the future based on new developments in each matter, or changes in circumstances, which could be materially different from those estimated and recognized by the Group.

As discussed in note 2 (e) to the consolidated financial statements, the Group has applied the amendment to K-IFRS No. 1001, Presentation of Financial Statements, and presented operating profit or loss as an amount of revenue less cost of sales, selling and administrative expense, and research and development expenses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) since the annual reporting for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Group applied this change in accounting policies retrospectively, and accordingly restated the comparative consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012.

Other Matters

The procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to review such condensed consolidated interim financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries. Accordingly, this report and the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements are for use by those knowledgeable about Korean review standards and their application in practice.

We audited the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2012 and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, which are not accompanying this review report, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea, and our report thereon, dated February 15, 2013, expressed an unqualified opinion. The accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2012, presented for comparative purposes, is not different from that audited by us in all material respects.

1.	Reporting Entity

(a)

Description of the Controlling Company

LG Display Co., Ltd. (the “Controlling Company”) was incorporated in February 1985 under its original name of LG Soft, Ltd. as a wholly owned subsidiary of LG Electronics Inc. In 1998, LG Electronics Inc. and LG Semicon Co., Ltd. transferred their respective Thin Film Transistor-Liquid Crystal Display (“TFT-LCD”) related business to the Controlling Company. The main business of the Controlling Company and its subsidiaries is to manufacture and sell TFT-LCD panels. The Controlling Company is a stock company (“Jusikhoesa”) domiciled in the Republic of Korea with its address at 128 Yeouidae-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, the Republic of Korea. In July 1999, LG Electronics Inc. and Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. (“Philips”) entered into a joint venture agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, the Controlling Company changed its name to LG. Philips LCD Co., Ltd. However, the Controlling Company changed its name to LG Display Co., Ltd. as a result of the decrease in Philips’s share interest in the Controlling Company and the possibility of its business expansion to Organic Light Emitting Diode (“OLED”) and Flexible Display products. As of June 30, 2013, LG Electronics Inc. owns 37.9% (135,625,000 shares) of the Controlling Company’s common shares.

As of June 30, 2013, the Controlling Company has its TFT-LCD manufacturing plants, OLED manufacturing plant and LCD Research & Development Center in Paju and TFT-LCD manufacturing plants in Gumi. The Controlling Company has overseas subsidiaries located in the Americas, Europe and Asia.

The Controlling Company’s common stock is listed on the Korea Exchange under the identifying code 034220. As of June 30, 2013, there are 357,815,700 shares of common stock outstanding. The Controlling Company’s common stock is also listed on the New York Stock Exchange in the form of American Depository Shares (“ADSs”) under the symbol “LPL”. One ADS represents one-half of one share of common stock. As of June 30, 2013, there are 19,303,334 ADSs outstanding.

(*1)	In June 2013, the Controlling Company invested ￦44,768 million in cash for the capital increase of LG Display America, Inc. (“LGDUS”). There were no changes in the Controlling Company’s ownership percentage in LGDUS as a result of this additional investment.

1.	Reporting Entity, Continued

(*2)

In April and June 2013, the Controlling Company invested an aggregate of ￦6,730 million in cash to participate in the disproportionate capital increase of L&I Electronic Technology (Dongguan) Limited and acquired the remaining interest from non-controlling interests. As of June 30, 2013, L&I Electronic Technology (Dongguan) Limited, which is in liquidation, is wholly owned by the Controlling Company.

(*3)

In May 2013, the Controlling Company collected a portion from the investment in Image & Materials, Inc. (“I&M”) which was in liquidation and, accordingly, the Controlling Company’s ownership percentage in I&M was reduced to 49%. However, as the Controlling Company has its right to the entire residual assets of I&M in accordance with the stock purchase and sales agreement, I&M was treated as if it is a wholly owned subsidiary. In July 2013, I&M completed liquidation.

(*4)	In March 2013, the Controlling Company contributed ￦121,424 million in cash for the capital increase of LG Display (China) Co., Ltd. (“LGDCA”). There were no changes in the Controlling Company’s ownership percentage in LGDCA as a result of this additional investment.

2.	Basis of Presenting Financial Statements

(a)

Statement of Compliance

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRSs”) No. 1034, Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all of the information required for full annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on July 17, 2013.

(b)

Basis of Measurement

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following material items in the statements of financial position:

•

derivative financial instruments measured at fair value;

•

financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss measured at fair value;

•

available-for-sale financial assets measured at fair value; and

•

liabilities for defined benefit plans recognized as the present value of defined benefit obligations less the fair value of plan assets

(c)

Functional and Presentation Currency

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Korean won, which is the Controlling Company’s functional currency. All amounts in Korean won are in millions unless otherwise stated.

(d)

Use of Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with K-IFRSs requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied in its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012.

2.	Basis of Presenting Financial Statements, Continued

(e)

Changes in accounting policies

(i) Presentation of Operating Profit or Loss in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Group has adopted the amendment to K-IFRS No. 1001, Presentation of Financial Statements, and has presented operating profit or loss as an amount of revenue less cost of sales and selling and administrative expense including research and development expenses on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) from the year ended December 31, 2012.

The Group has applied the amendment retrospectively, and accordingly restated the comparative condensed consolidated interim statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012. The impact upon adoption of the amendment for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 is as follows:


(In millions of won)	2012
	For the three-month period ended June 30			For the six-month period ended June 30

	￦	519,579			766,228

Restated operating profit after adoption of the amendment	￦	239,122			27,948

3.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed by the Group in the preparation of its condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those followed by the Group in its preparation of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012, except for the application of K-IFRS No. 1034, Interim Financial Reporting, and the amended or new accounting standards explained below:

(a)

Changes to the Significant Accounting Policies

(i) Amendment to K-IFRS No. 1001, Presentation of Financial Statements

The Group has applied the amendment to K-IFRS No. 1001, Presentation of Financial Statements, effective January 1, 2013, by classifying other comprehensive income by nature into “items that will not be reclassified to profit or loss” and “items that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss”.

(ii) K-IFRS No. 1110, Consolidated Financial Statements

The Group has applied the standard of K-IFRS No. 1110, Consolidated Financial Statements, effective January 1, 2013. The standard defines the principle of control and establishes control as the basis for determining which entities are consolidated in the consolidated financial statements. A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the investor or the subsidiary of the investor. An investor or the subsidiary of the investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. There is no significant impact of applying this standard on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

(iii) K-IFRS No. 1111, Joint Arrangement

The Group has applied the standard of K-IFRS No. 1111, Joint Arrangement, effective January 1, 2013. The standard classifies joint arrangements into two types: joint operations and joint ventures. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e. joint operators) have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e. joint venturers) have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. The standard requires a joint operator to recognize and measure the assets and liabilities (and recognize the related revenues and expenses) in relation to its interest in the arrangement in accordance with relevant K-IFRSs applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The standard requires a joint venturer to recognize an investment and to account for that investment using the equity method. There is no significant impact of applying this standard on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

3.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

(a)

Changes to the Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

(iv) K-IFRS No. 1112, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

The Group has applied the standard of K-IFRS No. 1112, Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities, effective January 1, 2013. The standard brings together into a single standard all the disclosure requirements about an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. The standard requires an entity to disclose information that enables users of financial statements to evaluate the nature of and risks associated with its interests in other entities and the effects of those interests on its financial position, financial performance and cash flows. There is no significant impact of applying this standard on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

(v) Amendment to K-IFRS No. 1019, Employee Benefits

The Group has applied the amendment to K-IFRS No. 1019, Employee Benefits, effective January 1, 2013. The revised standard requires the Group to calculate the expected return on plan assets based on the discount rate that is used to measure the present value of defined benefit obligation.

(b)

New Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Adopted

Amendment to K-IFRS No. 1032, Financial Instruments: Presentation

The amendment improves application guidance of K-IFRS No. 1032, Financial Instruments: Presentation, to clarify criterion of offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities. The amendment will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014, and has not been adopted early in preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Management is in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, of applying this standard on its financial position and results of operations.

4.	Financial Risk Management

The objectives and policies on financial risk management followed by the Group are consistent with those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012.

5.	Inventories

Inventories as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are as follows:

6.	Investments in Equity Accounted Investees, Continued

(*1)

Although the Controlling Company’s share interests in TLI Inc., Avaco Co., Ltd., LIG ADP Co., Ltd., Can Yang Investments Limited, YAS Co., Ltd., and Avatec Co., Ltd. are below 20%, the Controlling Company is able to exercise significant influence through its right to assign a director to the board of directors of each investee and, accordingly, the investments in these investees have been accounted for using the equity method.

(*2)	In 2013, the Controlling Company’s ownership in TLI Inc. was reduced from 12% to 10% due to the shares issued in relation to the exercise of warrants.

(*3)	In 2013, the Controlling Company’s ownership in WooRee E&L Co., Ltd. was reduced from 30% to 21% because the Controlling Company did not participate in WooRee E&L Co., Ltd’s capital increase.

(*4)

The Controlling Company is a member of limited partnership in the LB Gemini New Growth Fund No. 16 (“the Fund”). In March and May 2013, the Controlling Company received ￦1,116 million and ￦260 million, respectively from the Fund as a capital distribution and made additional cash investment of ￦1,532 million in the Fund during the six-month period ended June 30, 2013. Despite the distribution from the Fund and additional investment, there were no changes in the Controlling Company’s ownership percentage in the Fund and the Controlling Company is committed to making future investments of up to an aggregate of ￦30,000 million.

(*5)	In 2013, the Controlling Company’s ownership in Avatec Co., Ltd. was reduced from 17% to 16% due to the shares issued in relation to the exercise of stock options.

7.	Property, Plant and Equipment

For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Group purchased property, plant and equipment of ￦1,160,752 million and ￦1,654,468 million, respectively.

Also for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Group disposed of property, plant and equipment with carrying amounts of ￦7,996 million and ￦7,005 million, respectively and recognized ￦5,612 million and ￦673 million as gain and loss, respectively, on disposal of property, plant and equipment for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 (gain and loss for the six-month period ended on June 30, 2012: ￦2,731 million and ￦1,906 million, respectively)

Sensitivity analysis

A weaker won, as indicated below, against the following currencies which comprise the Group’s assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currency as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis is based on foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Group considers to be reasonably possible as of the end of reporting period. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, would remain constant. The changes in equity and profit or loss would be as follows:


(In millions of won)	June 30, 2013						December 31, 2012
	Equity			Profit or loss			Equity			Profit or loss
USD (5 percent weakening)		19,120			26,978			21,637			32,664

SGD (5 percent weakening)		27			—			16			—

A stronger won against the above currencies as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 would have had the equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.

In December 2006, the Controlling Company received notices of investigation by the Korea Fair Trade Commission, the Japan Fair Trade Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the European Commission with respect to possible anti-competitive activities in the TFT-LCD industry. The Controlling Company subsequently received similar notices from the Canadian Bureau of Competition Policy, the Federal Competition Commission of Mexico, the Secretariat of Economic Law of Brazil and the Taiwan Fair Trade Commission.

In November 2008, the Controlling Company executed an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) whereby the Controlling Company and its U.S. subsidiary, LG Display America, Inc. (“LGDUS”), pleaded guilty to a Sherman Antitrust Act violation and agreed to pay a single total fine of USD 400 million. In December 2008, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California accepted the terms of the plea agreement and entered a judgment against the Controlling Company and LGDUS and ordered the payment of USD 400 million.

Subsequent to the commencement of the DOJ investigation, a number of class action complaints were filed against the Controlling Company and other TFT-LCD panel manufacturers in the U.S. and Canada alleging violation of respective antitrust laws and related laws. The class action lawsuits in the U.S. were transferred to the Northern District of California for pretrial proceedings (“MDL Proceedings”). In March 2010, the court certified the class action complaints filed by direct purchasers and indirect purchasers. Seventy-eight entities (including groups of affiliated entities) submitted requests for exclusion from the direct purchaser class. The time period for submitting requests for exclusion from the indirect purchaser class expired on April 13, 2012 and ten entities (including groups and affiliated entities) submitted requests for exclusion from the indirect purchaser class. In addition, since 2010, the attorneys general of Arkansas, California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin filed complaints against the Controlling Company, alleging similar antitrust violations as alleged in the MDL Proceedings.

Independent Auditors’ Review Report

Based on a report originally issued in Korean

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

LG Display Co., Ltd.:

Reviewed Financial Statements

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed separate interim financial statements of LG Display Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) which comprise the condensed separate interim statement of financial position as of June 30, 2013, the condensed separate interim statements of comprehensive income (loss) for each of the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Condensed Separate Interim Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these condensed separate interim financial statements in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards No. 1034, Interim Financial Reporting, and for such internal controls as management determines necessary to enable the preparation of condensed separate interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to issue a report on these condensed separate interim financial statements based on our reviews.

Conclusion

Based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed separate interim financial statements referred to above are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards No. 1034, Interim Financial Reporting.

Emphasis of Matter

As discussed in note 17 to the condensed separate interim financial statements, the Company has been or is under investigations by antitrust authorities in several countries with respect to possible anti-competitive activities in the Liquid Crystal Display (“LCD”) industry and named as defendants in a number of individual lawsuits and class actions in the United States and Canada, respectively, in connection with alleged antitrust violations concerning the sale of LCD panels. The Company estimated and recognized losses related to these investigations and alleged violations. However, actual losses are subject to change in the future based on new developments in each matter, or changes in circumstances, which could be materially different from those estimated and recognized by the Company.

As discussed in note 2 (e) to the separate financial statements, the Company has applied the amendment to K-IFRS No. 1001, Presentation of Financial Statements, and presented operating profit or loss as an amount of revenue less cost of sales, selling and administrative expense, and research and development expenses in the separate statement of comprehensive income (loss) since the annual reporting for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company applied this change in accounting policies retrospectively, and accordingly restated the comparative separate statement of comprehensive loss for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012.

Other Matters

The procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to review such condensed separate interim financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries. Accordingly, this report and the accompanying condensed separate interim financial statements are for use by those knowledgeable about Korean review standards and their application in practice.

We audited the separate statement of financial position as of December 31, 2012, and the related separate statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, which are not accompanying this review report, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea, and our report thereon, dated February 15, 2013, expressed an unqualified opinion. The accompanying condensed separate statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2012, presented for comparative purposes, is not different from that audited by us in all material respects.

1.	Organization and Description of Business

LG Display Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated in February 1985 under its original name of LG Soft, Ltd. as a wholly owned subsidiary of LG Electronics Inc. In 1998, LG Electronics Inc. and LG Semicon Co., Ltd. transferred their respective Thin Film Transistor-Liquid Crystal Display (“TFT-LCD”) related business to the Company. The main business of the Company is to manufacture and sell TFT-LCD panels. The Company is a stock company (“Jusikhoesa”) domiciled in the Republic of Korea with its address at 128 Yeouidae-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, the Republic of Korea. In July 1999, LG Electronics Inc. and Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. (“Philips”) entered into a joint venture agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company changed its name to LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd. However, the Company changed its name to LG Display Co., Ltd. as a result of the decrease in Philips’s share interest in the Company and the possibility of its business expansion to Organic Light Emitting Diode (“OLED”) and Flexible Display products. As of June 30, 2013, LG Electronics Inc. owns 37.9% (135,625,000 shares) of the Company’s common shares.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company has its TFT-LCD manufacturing plants, OLED manufacturing plant and LCD Research & Development Center in Paju and TFT-LCD manufacturing plants in Gumi. The Company has overseas subsidiaries located in the Americas, Europe and Asia.

The Company’s common stock is listed on the Korea Exchange under the identifying code 034220. As of June 30, 2013, there are 357,815,700 shares of common stock outstanding. The Company’s common stock is also listed on the New York Stock Exchange in the form of American Depository Shares (“ADSs”) under the symbol “LPL”. One ADS represents one-half of one share of common stock. As of June 30, 2013, there are 19,303,334 ADSs outstanding.

2.	Basis of Presenting Financial Statements

(a)

Statement of Compliance

The condensed separate interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRSs”) No.1034, Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012.

These condensed interim financial statements are separate interim financial statements prepared in accordance with K-IFRS No.1027, Separate Financial Statements, presented by a parent, an investor in an associate or a venturer in a jointly controlled entity, in which the investments are accounted for on the basis of the direct equity interest rather than on the basis of the reported results and net assets of the investees.

The condensed separate interim financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on July 17, 2013.

(b)

Basis of Measurement

The condensed separate interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following material items in the statements of financial position:

•

derivative financial instruments measured at fair value;

•

financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss measured at fair value;

•

available-for-sale financial assets measured at fair value; and

•

liabilities for defined benefit plans recognized as the present value of defined benefit obligations less the fair value of plan assets

(c)

Functional and Presentation Currency

The condensed separate interim financial statements are presented in Korean won, which is the Company’s functional currency. All amounts in Korean won are in millions unless otherwise stated.

(d)

Use of Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of the condensed separate interim financial statements in conformity with K-IFRSs requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these condensed separate interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied in its financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012.

2.	Basis of Presenting Financial Statements, Continued

(e)

Changes in accounting policies

Anvik Corporation’s lawsuit for infringement of patent

In 2007, Anvik Corporation filed a patent infringement case against the Company, along with other LCD manufacturing companies in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (“SDNY district court”), in connection with the usage of photo-masking equipment manufactured by Nikon Corporation. The court granted Nikon Corporation’s motion for summary judgment of invalidity of the patents-in-suit and entered a judgment in favor of Nikon Corporation, the Company and LG Display America, Inc. and other TFT-LCD manufacturing companies, dismissing the case in April 2012. In April 2012, Anvik Corporation appealed the court’s decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (“CAFC”). The CAFC has reversed the SDNY district court’s summary judgment ruling and remanded the case back to the district court for further proceedings.

Industrial Technology Research Institute of Taiwan’s action for patent infringement

In 2012, the United States International Trade Commission (“USITC”) granted a motion by Industrial Technology Research Institute of Taiwan (“ITRI”) to add the Company and LG Display America as additional respondents in an investigation under Section 337 of the United States Tariff Act (In the Matter of Certain Devices for Improving Uniformity Used in a Backlight Module and Components Thereof and Products Containing the Same, Investigation No. 337-TA-805). ITRI is seeking an exclusion order which prohibits the importation of televisions and monitors incorporating the Company’s products into the United States for alleged patent infringement. On October 22, 2012, USITC issued a Notice of Initial Determination finding that the Company and LG Display America, Inc. did not infringe the asserted patent of ITRI. On May 17, 2013, USITC issued a final determination finding that the patent was invalid and the Company and LG Display America had not infringed ITRI’s patents.

Request for arbitration of Arkema France and its subsidiary regarding termination of a contract with the Company

In October 2012, Arkema France (“Arkema”) and its subsidiary filed a request for arbitration in the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce regarding termination of a contract with the Company. The Company is currently defending against Arkema’s claims.

Anti-trust investigations and litigations

In December 2006, the Company received notices of investigation by the Korea Fair Trade Commission, the Japan Fair Trade Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the European Commission with respect to possible anti-competitive activities in the TFT-LCD industry. The Company subsequently received similar notices from the Canadian Bureau of Competition Policy, the Federal Competition Commission of Mexico, the Secretariat of Economic Law of Brazil and the Taiwan Fair Trade Commission.

In November 2008, the Company executed an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) whereby the Company and its U.S. subsidiary, LG Display America, Inc. (“LGDUS”), pleaded guilty to a Sherman Antitrust Act violation and agreed to pay a single total fine of USD 400 million. In December 2008, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California accepted the terms of the plea agreement and entered a judgment against the Company and LGDUS and ordered the payment of USD 400 million. The agreement resolved all federal criminal charges against the Company and LGDUS in the United States in connection with this matter.

In December 2010, the European Commission (“the EC”) issued a decision finding that the Company engaged in anti-competitive activities in the LCD industry in violation of European competition laws and imposed a fine of EUR 215 million. In February 2011, the Company filed with the European Union General Court an application for partial annulment and reduction of the fine imposed by the EC. To date the European Union General Court has not ruled on the Company’s application. In November 2011, the Company received an additional Request for Information from the EC relating to the alleged anti-competitive activities in the LCD industry and is responding to the request.

In November 2009, the Taiwan Fair Trade Commission terminated its investigation without any finding of violations or levying of fines. Also, in February 2012, the Competition Bureau of Canada terminated its investigation against the Company without any finding of violations or levying of fines. To date no decision has been issued by the Japan Fair Trade Commission, and we believe the statutory time period by which the Commission was required to have issued a decision has already lapsed. To date investigations by the Federal Competition Commission of Mexico and the Secretariat of Economic Law of Brazil are ongoing.

In August 2011, the Korea Fair Trade Commission issued an Examination Report finding that the Company engaged in anti-competitive activities in violation of Korean fair trade laws and a hearing was held in October 2011. In December 2011, the Korea Fair Trade Commission imposed a fine on the Company and certain of its subsidiaries of approximately ￦31,378 million, and the Company filed an appeal of the decision with the Seoul High Court in December 2011. To date the Seoul High Court has not ruled on the Company’s appeal.

Subsequent to the commencement of the DOJ investigation, a number of class action complaints were filed against the Company and other TFT-LCD panel manufacturers in the U.S. and Canada alleging violation of respective antitrust laws and related laws. The class action lawsuits in the U.S. were transferred to the Northern District of California for pretrial proceedings (“MDL Proceedings”). In March 2010, the court certified the class action complaints filed by direct purchasers and indirect purchasers. Seventy-eight entities (including groups of affiliated entities) submitted requests for exclusion from the direct purchaser class. The time period for submitting requests for exclusion from the indirect purchaser class expired on April 13, 2012 and ten entities (including groups and affiliated entities) submitted requests for exclusion from the indirect purchaser class. In addition, since 2010, the attorneys general of Arkansas, California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin filed complaints against the Company, alleging similar antitrust violations as alleged in the MDL Proceedings. In June 2011, the Company reached a settlement with the direct purchaser class, which the federal district court approved in December 2011. In July 2012, the Company reached a settlement with the indirect purchaser class and with the state attorneys general of Arkansas, California, Florida, Michigan, Missouri, New York, West Virginia, and Wisconsin, which was approved by the federal district court in April 2013. In March 2013, the Oklahoma attorney general dismissed its action as to the Company pursuant to a settlement agreement.

Apart from the direct and indirect purchaser class actions, individual plaintiffs filed complaints in various state or federal courts in the United States alleging violation of the respective antitrust laws and related laws by various LCD panel manufacturers.

While the Company continues its vigorous defense of the various pending proceedings described above, there is a possibility that one or more proceedings may result in an unfavorable outcome to the Company. For certain cases described above, management is not able to estimate the potential loss if the final outcome of the cases is unfavorable to the Company as the cases are in early stage and management does not have sufficient information to estimate the amount of possible loss. Otherwise the Company has established provisions with respect to certain of the contingencies, considering factors such as the nature of the litigation, claim, or assessment, the progress of the case and the opinions or views of legal counsel and other advisers. These estimates have been based on our assessment of the facts and circumstances and are subject to change materially based upon new information, intervening events and the final outcome of the cases.
