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 the flat panel displays is growing rapidly. There are high entry barriers due to its 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 PC & Monitor has been closely related to the IT industry. The demand for LCD panels for TV is growing with the start of HDTV broadcasting and as LCD TV is anticipated to play a key role in the digital display area. 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 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 also 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. |
- | Core competitiveness includes technology leadership, capability to design new products and premium products, timely investment in advanced fabs, cost leadership through application of large production lines, innovation of process and productivity, and collaborative customer relationships. |
- | Most importantly, cost leadership and stable and long-term relationships with customers are critical to secure profit even in a buyers 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. However, the domestic portion has grown due to the active participation of domestic vendors. |
- | The shortage of raw materials may arise temporarily due to the rapid increase in demand for raw materials from capacity expansion in the TFT-LCD industry. |
- | We have purchased, and expect to purchase, a substantial portion of our equipment from a limited number of qualified foreign and local suppliers. From time to time, increased demand for new equipment may cause lead times to extend beyond those normally required by the equipment vendors. |
(5) | Others |
- | Most TFT-LCD panel makers are located in Asia. |
a. Korea: LG.Philips LCD, Samsung Electronics (including Joint Venture between Samsung
Electronics and Sony Corporation), BOE-Hydis
b. Taiwan: AU Optronics, Chi Mei Optoelectronics, CPT, QDI, etc.
c. Japan: Sharp, Hitachi, etc.
d. China: SVA-NEC LCD, BOE-OT, etc.
B. | Company |
(1) | Business overview |
- | We started the TFT-LCD business in 1998. We currently operate six fabrication facilities located in Gumi, Korea and three module facilities located in Gumi, Korea and Nanjing, China and we are constructing our 7th generation fab (P7) in Paju, Korea. |
- | 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 to meet the demand for large-size monitors. |
- | We started mass production at our 6th generation fab (P6) in August 2004, which have provided us with a full line-up of products and which allows us to meet growing customer demand for LCD TV panels in addition to LCD panels for Notebook PC and Monitor, etc. |
- | Business area of the company for disclosure is limited to LCD business. |

(3) | Market characteristics |
- | Due to the recent high growth in the display appliance market for the flat display format, the scale of the LCD market is growing at a rapid rate, resulting in expansion of the market centered mainly in America, Japan, Europe and China. |
(4) | New business and forecast |
- | In March 2004, we broke ground for a new TFT-LCD industrial complex in Paju, Korea, and construction of P7 is currently in progress. |
- | We plan to commence mass production at P7 with an initial design capacity of 45,000 sheets per month, using 1,950 x 2,250 mm glass, during the first half of 2006. We may expand P7s capacity to 90,000 sheets per month depending on future market and other conditions. We currently estimate that the construction and build-out of P7, at a capacity of 90,000 sheets per month, will cost approximately W5.3 trillion. |

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, 2005 and the related non-consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, expressed in Korean Won. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys 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, 2004 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 26, 2005. These financial statements are not included in this review report. The non-consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004, presented herein for comparative purposes, is consistent, in all material respects, with the above audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2004.
Samil Pricewaterhouse Cooper is the Korean member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers. PricewaterhouseCoopers refer to the network of member firms of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited, each of which is a separate and independent legal entity.

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 informed about Korean accounting principles or review standards and their application in practice.

Certain subsequent events or circumstances, which may occur between the review report date and the time of reading this report, could have a material impact on the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto.

1. | The Company |

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(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 Companys 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 managements 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. 10, 12 and 13 became applicable to the Company on January 1, 2004, the Company adopted these Standards in its financial statements covering periods beginning January 1, 2004.
And as SKFAS Nos. 15 through 17 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2005, the Company adopted these Standards in its financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005.
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.

(Unaudited)
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 SKFAS 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 is added to the cost of sales.
Investments in Affiliates and Other Investments
The Company accounts for equity and debt securities under the provision of SKFAS 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 in 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 Companys 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.

March 31, 2005 and 2004, and December 31, 2004
(Unaudited)
Differences between the initial purchase price and the Companys initial proportionate ownership in the net book value of the investee are amortized over the period up to 20 years using the straight-line method.
Unrealized profit arising from sales by the Company to equity-method investees is fully eliminated. The Companys 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:

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 assets 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.

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 exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date ((Won)1,017.6:US$1 as of March 31, 2005; (Won)1,035.6:US$1 as of December 31, 2004), 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.
Accrued Severance Benefits
Employees and directors with at least one year 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 Fund 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 carryforwards 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 under applicable tax regulations and the change in the balance 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 as carryforward amount.

(Unaudited)
As of March 31, 2005, the Company recorded unrealized gains and losses on outstanding foreign currency forward contracts of (Won)66,489 million and (Won)18,705 million, respectively. Total unrealized gains and losses of (Won)7,905 million and (Won)14,984 million, respectively, were charged to current operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, as these contracts did not fulfill the requirements for a cash flow hedge. Unrealized gains and losses of (Won)49,288 million and (Won)3,054 million, respectively were incurred relating to cash flow hedges from forecasted exports, were recorded as capital adjustments.
The hedged forecasted transactions are expected to occur on March 30, 2006 and the aggregate amount of all deferred gains and losses recorded in capital adjustments as net of tax, which is expected to be included in the determination of gain and loss within a year from March 31, 2005, are (Won)58,585 million and (Won)3,721 million, respectively.
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, the Company recorded realized exchange gains of (Won)8,318 million (2004 : (Won)4,180 million), on foreign currency forward contracts upon settlement, and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, realized exchange losses amounted to (Won)7,068 million (2004 : (Won)968 million).
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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd.
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of March 31, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, changes in stockholders equity and cash flows for the three -month periods ended as of March 31, 2005 and 2004. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the companys management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We previously audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2004 and the related consolidated statements of income, retained earnings, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated January 26, 2005, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
