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. Although there are high entry barriers due to its technology- and capital-intensive characteristics, as well as the significant investments required to achieve economies of scale, there is severe competition within the industry.

 

  The demand for LCD panels for notebooks & monitors is closely related to the IT industry, and LCD TV will play a key role in the digital display area as digital TV market starts to grow. In addition, LCD panel markets for applications, such as medical applications and automobile navigation systems, are growing steadily.

 

(2) Cyclicality

 

  The TFT-LCD business has high cyclicality as a capital intensive business. This industry experiences periodic cyclicality caused by imbalances between demand and supply due to capacity expansion within the industry.

 

(3) Competitiveness

 

  Core competitiveness includes new product design capability based on new technology application, timely investment, cost leadership and marketing capability to lead system makers.

 

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

 

(4) Sourcing material

 

  Materials are sourced in-house(Color Filter) as well as from domestic and international vendors. However, domestic portion is expected to grow.

 

  Raw materials shortage may arise due to capacity expansion within the industry as well as rapid demand increase of raw materials.

 

(5) Others

 

  Most TFT-LCD makers are located in Asia: (Major makers)

 

a. Korea: LG.Philips LCD, Samsung Electronics (including Joint Venture between Samsung Electronics and Sony Corporation)

 

b. Taiwan: AU Optronics, Chi Mei Optoelectronics, CPT, QDI, etc.

 

c. Japan: Sharp, Hitachi, etc.

 

d. China: SVA-NEC LCD, BOE-Hydis.

B. Company

 

(1) Business overview

 

  We entered the TFT-LCD business in 1998, became a Joint Venture between LG Electronics and Philips Electronics in 1999 and became the first company in the world to commence commercial production at a 4th generation fab (P3) in July 2000, followed by the world’s first 5th generation fab (P4) in March 2002 to meet the demand for large-size monitors. In addition, we started mass production of the 6th generation fab (P6) in August 2004, which completed a full line-up of products in response to various customer demands.

 

(2) Market shares

 

  World market share of large-size TFT LCD module (³10”) based on revenue as of the end of June 2004 is 19.9% according to DisplaySearch (3Q 2004 Report, for 2Q 2004).

 

  World market share of LCD TV module based on revenue as of the end of June 2004 is 19.1% according to DisplaySearch (3Q 2004 Report, for 2Q 2004)

 

(3) Market characteristics

 

  TFT-LCD manufacturers are vulnerable to cyclical market conditions. Intense competition and demand growth expectations may result in panel manufacturers investing in manufacturing capacity on similar schedules, resulting in a surge in capacity when production is ramped up at new fabrication facilities.

 

(4) New business and forecast

 

  We currently operate six fabrication facilities, P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, and P6 located in Gumi, Korea, and two module assembly facilities located in Gumi, Korea and Nanjing, China.

 

  In March 2004, we broke ground for a new TFT-LCD industrial complex to be developed in Paju, Korea, and construction of P7 is currently in progress.

 

  Our strategy is to maintain a leading position in high value-added TFT-LCD products, such as aviation, medical equipment and industrial automation. In addition, we are planning todiversify markets through sales increase in rapidly growing products, such as Internet appliance, PDA and IMT 2000-related products.

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, 2004 and the related non-consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month periods and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, 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, 2003 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 12, 2004. These financial statements are not included in this review report. The non-consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2003, presented herein for comparative purposes, is consistent, in all material respects, with the above audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2003.

As discussed in Note 1 and 14, 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 gross proceeds of (Won)298,080 million. Concurrently, pursuant to a Form F-1 registration statement filed on July 15, 2004 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company sold 24,960,000 shares of common stock in the form of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) for gross proceeds of US$748,800 thousand. In September 2004, pursuant to underwriting agreement dated July 15, 2004, the Company sold 1,715,700 shares of common stock in the form of ADSs for gross proceeds of US$51,471 thousand. The Company intends to use the proceeds of these sales to fund the capital expenditures associated with the construction of its seventh generation TFT-LCD fabrication plant (“P7”) and other LCD facility in Korea.

 

Accounting principles and review standards and their application in practice vary among countries. The accompanying financial statements are not intended to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in countries and jurisdictions other than the Republic of Korea. In addition, the procedures and practices used in the Republic of Korea to review such financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries. Accordingly, this report and the accompanying financial statements are for use by those who are knowledgeable about Korean accounting principles or review standards and their application in practice.

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 the consideration 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 gross proceeds of (Won)298,080 million. Concurrently, pursuant to a Form F-1 registration statement filed on July 15, 2004 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company sold 24,960,000 shares of common stock in the form of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) for gross proceeds of US$748,800 thousand. In September 2004, pursuant the underwriting agreement dated July 15, 2004, the Company sold 1,715,700 shares of common stock in the form of ADSs for gross proceeds of US$51,471 thousand.

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 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 in conformity with 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 (“KASB”) 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 Board. As SKFAS No. 2 through No. 9 became applicable to the Company on January 1, 2003, it adopted these statements in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

Further, as SKFAS No. 10 and SKFAS Nos. 12 and 13 became applicable to the Company on January 1, 2004, it adopted these Standards in its financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004.

 

As a result of these changes, cost of sales and none-operating expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 have increased and decreased by (Won)95,440 million, compared to those which would have been reported under the previous accounting principles. These changes had no effect on ordinary income or net income.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers cash on hand, bank deposits and highly liquid marketable securities with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Revenue Recognition

 

Sales of manufactured products are recognized when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods are transferred to the buyer.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts and notes receivable based on the aggregate estimated collectibility of the receivables.

 

Inventories

 

The Company accounts for inventories under the provision of Statement of Korean Financial Accounting Standards No. 10, Inventories.

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined using the weighted-average method, except for materials in-transit, which are stated at actual cost using the specific identification method. If the net realizable value of inventory is less than its cost, the carrying amount is reduced to the net realizable value. Any inventory valuation loss are added to the cost of sales and presented as a contra inventory account.

 

Investments in Affiliates and Other Investments

 

The Company accounts for equity and debt securities under the provision of Statement of Korean Financial Accounting Standards No. 8, Investments in Securities. This statement requires investments in equity and debt securities to be divided into one of three categories: trading, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity.

 

Securities are initially carried at cost, including incidental expenses, with cost being determined using the gross average method. Debt securities, which the Company has the intent and ability to hold to maturity, are generally carried at cost, adjusted for the amortization of discounts or premiums. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized over the term of the debt using the effective interest rate method. Trading and available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, except for non-marketable securities classified as available-for-sale securities, which are carried at cost. Non-marketable debt securities are carried at a value using the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the reasonable interest rate determined considering the credit ratings provided by the independent credit rating agencies.

 

Unrealized valuation gains or losses on trading securities are charged to current operations, and those resulting from available-for-sale securities are recorded as a capital adjustment, the accumulated amount of which shall be charged to current operations when the related securities are sold, or when an impairment loss on the securities is recognized. Impairment losses are recognized in the income statement when the recoverable amounts are less than the acquisition cost of securities or adjusted cost of debt securities for the amortization of discounts or premiums.

Investments in equity securities of companies, over which the Company exercises significant control or influence (controlled investees), are recorded using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the Company records changes in its proportionate ownership of the book value of the investee in current operations as capital adjustments or as adjustments to retained earnings, depending on the nature of the underlying change in the book value of the investee. The Company discontinues the equity method of accounting for investments in equity method investees when the Company’s share in the accumulated losses of the investees equals the costs of the investments, and until the subsequent cumulative changes in its proportionate net income of the investees equals its cumulative proportionate net losses not recognized during the periods when the equity method was suspended.

 

Differences between the initial purchase price and the Company’s initial proportionate ownership of the net book value of the investee are amortized over 20 years using the straight-line method.

 

Unrealized profit arising from sales by the Company to equity-method investees is fully eliminated. The Company’s proportionate unrealized profit arising from sales by the equity-method investees to the Company or sales between equity-method investees is also eliminated.

 

Foreign currency financial statements of equity method investees are translated into Korean Won using the basic exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities, and annual average exchange rates for income and expenses. Any resulting translation gain or loss is included in the capital adjustment account, a component of shareholders’ equity.

 

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

The cost of property, plant and equipment includes purchase costs or manufacturing costs, incidental costs directly related to preparing the premises and equipment for use, and the discounted estimated costs to remove, dismantle or restore property, plant and equipment at the end of the estimated useful lives of the related assets when those costs meet the conditions for the recognition of liabilities.

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as described below:

 

     Estimated useful lives

Buildings

   20 – 40 years

Structures

   20 – 40 years

Machinery and equipment

   4 years

Vehicles

   4 years

Tools, furniture and fixtures

   4 years

Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations as incurred. Betterments and renewals, which enhance the value of the assets over their recently appraised value, are capitalized.

 

The Company assesses the potential impairment of property, plant and equipment when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances have made the recovery of an asset’s carrying value to be unlikely. The carrying value of the assets is reduced to the estimated realizable value and an impairment loss is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and charged to current operations. However, the recovery of the impaired assets would be recorded in current operations up to the cost of the assets, net of accumulated depreciation before impairment, when the estimated value of the assets exceeds the carrying value after impairment.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets, comprising industrial property rights, rights to use electricity and gas supply facilities, rights to use the industrial water facility, and software costs, are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from four to ten years. Research and development costs are charged to current operations when incurred, and are included in operating expenses.

 

The Company assesses the potential impairment of intangible assets when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances have made the recovery of an asset’s carrying value to be unlikely. The carrying value of the assets is reduced to the estimated realizable value, and an impairment loss is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and charged to current operations. However, the recovery of the impaired assets would be recorded in current operations up to the cost of the asset, net of accumulated amortization before impairment, when the estimated value of the assets exceeds the carrying value after impairment.

 

Discounts on Debentures

 

Discounts on debentures are amortized over the repayment period of the debentures using the effective interest rate method. Amortization is included in interest expense.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Korean Won at the basic rates in effect at the balance sheet dates ((Won)1,152.7:US$1 as of September 30, 2004; (Won)1,194.3:US$1 as of December 31, 2003), and the resulting translation gains and losses are recognized in current operations.

 

Warranty Reserve

 

The Company provides a warranty relating to product defects for a specified period of time after sale. Estimated costs of product warranties are charged to cost at the time of sale and are included in the accompanying balance sheet as a warranty reserve.

 

See Report of Independent Accountants.

Accrued Severance Benefits

 

Employees and directors with one year or more of service are entitled to receive a lump-sum payment upon termination of their employment, based on their length of service and rate of pay at the time of termination. Accrued severance benefits represent the amount which would be payable assuming all eligible employees and directors were to terminate their employment as of the balance sheet date.

 

The Company has made deposits to the National Pension Fund in accordance with the National Pension Funds Law. The use of the deposit is restricted to the payment of severance benefits. Accordingly, accrued severance benefits in the accompanying balance sheet are presented net of this deposit.

 

Accrued severance benefits are funded through a group severance insurance plan and are presented as a deduction from accrued severance benefits.

 

Sales or Discount of Accounts Receivable

 

The Company sells or discounts certain accounts or notes receivable to financial institutions, and accounts for the transactions as sales of the receivables if the control over the receivables are substantially transferred to the buyers. The losses from the sales of the receivables are charged to current operations as incurred.

 

Derivatives

 

The Company enters into derivative transactions to hedge against financial risks. Derivatives are classified into: cash flow hedges, hedges for fluctuations in fair market value caused by the changes in foreign exchange rates, and those acquired for profit. In case of cash flow hedges, unrealized holding gains and losses are recorded as capital adjustments in the balance sheet. In the case of hedging for fluctuations in fair market value, unrealized holding gains and losses are recorded in the income statement. If the contract expires, the gains and losses from derivative transactions are presented in the income statement in case of hedges for fluctuations in fair market value and are offset against sales in case of cash flow hedging.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets and liabilities, which represent temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed on such temporary differences, including available net operating loss carry-forwards and tax credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to the years when such differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax assets are recognized when it is almost certain that such deferred income tax assets will be realized. The total income tax provision includes the current income tax expense computed under applicable tax regulations, and the changes in the balances of deferred income tax assets and liabilities during the period.

Investment tax credits are accounted for by the flow-through method, whereby income taxes are reduced in the period the assets giving rise to such credits, are placed in service. To the extent such credits are not currently utilized, deferred income tax assets, subject to considerations on their recognition, are recognized for the carry-forward amount.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

 

As of September 30, 2004, the Company has bank overdraft agreements with various banks amounting to (Won)59,000 million.

 

As of September 30, 2004, the Company has a Revolving Credit Facility Agreement with Shinhan Bank and Hana Bank totaling (Won)200,000 million.

 

As of September 30, 2004, the Company has agreements with several banks for U.S. dollar denominated accounts receivable negotiating facilities up to an aggregate of US$842 million. The Company has made agreements with several banks in relation to the opening of letters of credit amounting to US$61 million. The related amounts of negotiated foreign currency receivables outstanding as of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 amounted to (Won)527,281 million and (Won)117,991 million, respectively.

 

As of September 30, 2004, in relation to its TFT-LCD business, the Company has technical license agreements with Semiconductor Energy Laboratory Co., Ltd. and others.

 

The Company is involved in several legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. In August 2002, the Company filed a complaint against Chunghwa Picture Tubes, Tatung Company and Tatung Co., of America, alleging patent infringement relating to liquid crystal displays and the manufacturing process for TFD-LCDs. Subsequently, the Company filed a complaint against customers of Chunghwa Picture Tubes, which included ViewSonic Corp., Jeans Co, Lite-On Technology Corp., Lite-On Technology International, Inc., TpV Technology and Invision Peripheral Inc. In June 2004, Chunghwa Picture Tubes filed a counter-claim against the Company in the United States District Court for the Central District of California for alleged infringement of Chunghwa Picture Tubes’ intellectual property and violation of U.S. antitrust laws. In May 2004, the Company filed a complaint against Tatung Co., parent company of Chunghwa Picture Tubes and ViewSonic Corp., claiming patent infringement on rear mountable liquid crystal display devices in United states District of Delaware and Patent country Court in the United Kingdom. And the Company filed a complaint against Chunghwa Picture Tubes in American Arbitration Association in connection with the ownership for patent. The Company’s management does not expect that the outcome in any of these legal proceedings, individually or collectively, will have any material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

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

As of September 30, 2004, the Company recorded unrealized gains and losses on outstanding foreign currency forward contracts of (Won)13,213 million and (Won)2,168 million, respectively. Total unrealized gains and losses of (Won)9,046 million and (Won)2,168 million, respectively, were charged to current operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004, as these contracts did not meet the requirements for a cash flow hedge. Unrealized gains amounting to (Won)4,167 million, which were incurred relating to cash flow hedges from forecasted exports, were recorded as capital adjustments.

 

The hedged forecasted transactions are expected to occur on May 11, 2005 and the aggregate amount of all deferred gains recorded in capital adjustments, which is expected to be included in the determination of net income within a year from September 30, 2004, is (Won)4,167 million.

 

For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company recorded realized exchange gains of (Won)28,545 million and (Won)17,763 million, respectively, on foreign currency forward contracts upon settlement, and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, realized exchange losses amounted to (Won)40,487 million and (Won)8,057 million, respectively.

 

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