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 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 TVs have come 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.


Table of Contents
  - 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.

 

  - 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, etc.
c.   Japan:    Sharp, IPS-Alpha, etc.
d.   China:    SVA-NEC, BOE-OT, etc.

 

  B. Company

 

  (1) Business overview

 

  - Commercial production for our TFT-LCD business began in September 1995 at P1, which was then the first fabrication facility of LG Electronics. At the end of 1998, LG Electronics and LG Semicon transferred their respective TFT-LCD related businesses to LG Soft Co., Ltd (currently LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd.). LG.Philips LCD became a J/V between LG Electronics and Philips Electronics in August 1999. In July 2004, we completed our initial public offering and listed our common stock on the Korea Exchange and our ADSs on the New York Stock Exchange. As of March 31, 2007, we operate seven fabrication facilities located in Gumi and Paju, Korea, and five module facilities located in Gumi and Paju, Korea, and Nanjing (3 factories), China. We started mass production at a module facility in Wroclaw, Poland in March 2007.


Table of Contents
  - We became the first LCD maker in the world to commence 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.

 

 

-

Sales in the 1st quarter of 2007 decreased by 12% to KRW 2,606 billon compared to 4th quarter of 2006 sales of KRW 2,967 billion and increased by 8% compared to the 1st quarter 2006 sales of KRW 2,418 billion (Sales under consolidated Korean GAAP in the 1st quarter of 2007 decreased by 11% to KRW 2,722 billion from sales of KRW 3,065 billion in the 4th quarter of 2006 and increased 10% compared to KRW 2,471 billion in the first quarter of 2006).

 

 

-

Operating loss in the 1st quarter of 2007 was KRW 237 billion whereas in the 4th quarter of 2006 we had an operating loss of KRW 151 billion. Our net loss in the 1st quarter of 2007 was KRW 169 billion which is an improvement of 3% over the 4th quarter 2006’s net loss of KRW 174 billion (Operating loss under consolidated Korean GAAP in the 1st quarter of 2007 was KRW 208 billion compared to an operating loss of KRW 177 billion in the 4th quarter of 2006, and an operating profit of KRW 52 billion in the 1st quarter of 2006).

 

  - We reinforced our position as a leader in LCD technology with the world’s first 100-inch TFT-LCD panel and the development of a super-slim panel for mobile phones.

 

  - Moreover, LPL made strategic alliances or long-term sales contracts with major global firms such as Kodak and Syntax-Brillian of the United States and Japan’s Toshiba among others to secure customers and expand partnerships for technology development.

 

  - Business area of the company for disclosure is limited to the 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

 

  - P7 in our Paju display cluster is expected to reach a production capacity of 110,000 input sheets of glass substrate per month in the third quarter of 2007. We are currently reviewing an investment for the next generation of fabrication facilities in anticipation of growth in the TFT-LCD market.

 

  - 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 started mass production in March 2007.

 

  - In October 2006, we formed a strategic alliance with Toshiba Corporation whereby Toshiba would take a 19.9% equity participation in our subsidiary, LG.Philips LCD Poland Sp. z o.o., and LG.Philips LCD Poland Sp. z o.o. would supply Toshiba with a quantity of LCD TV panels produced at 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 June 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 March 31, 2007 and the related non-consolidated statements of operations, cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, and non-consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007, 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 and semi-annual 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, 2006 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 February 13, 2007. These financial statements are not included in this review report. The non-consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006, presented herein for comparative purposes, is consistent, in all material respects, with the above audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2006.

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

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 certain 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.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed by the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries in the preparation of its interim 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 certain 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.

And as SKFAS No. 21 through 23, including No.11 and 25, became effective for the Company on January 1, 2007, the Company adopted these Standards in its financial statements as of and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007. However, the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity presented for comparative purposes is not stated in accordance with the addendum of SKFAS No. 21.

8. 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 decreased from (Won) 44,260 to (Won) 44,050 due to the additional issuance of common stock in 2005. These SARs are exercisable starting 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 as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, consist of the following:

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.

On April 7, 2005, the Company granted 450,000 shares of stock appreciations rights (“SARs”) for selected management employees. Under the terms of this plan, management, on exercise, receive cash equal to the amount that the market price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the strike price ((Won)44,050) of the SARs. The vesting period is two years starting from the grant date, and exercisable period is April 08, 2008 through April 07, 2012.

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

 

     March 31, 2007     March 31, 2006  

(in millions of Korean won)

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).

The fair value of SARs was estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions:

 

     March 31, 2007  

Option term (years) 1

     5  

Volatility 2

     48.13 %

Risk-free interest rate (Korean government bond)

     4.80  

Dividend yield

     0 %

Weighted average fair value per option granted

   (Won) 12,978  

1

The option term is the number of years that the company estimates that options will be outstanding prior to settlement.

2

Measured using historical weekly price changes of the Company’s stock over the respective term of the option.

The Company and the officers and directors intend to defend themselves vigorously in this matter.

Each of these matters remains in the very early stages and the Company is not in a position to predict their outcome. However, the Company intends to defend itself vigorously in these matters.

The Company sells a significant portion of products based on non-binding long-term supply agreements to LGE and Philips, who are currently the largest shareholders of the Company.
