Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, of changes in stockholders equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2004 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles, which as described in Note 2, are generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule, Valuation and Qualifying Accounts, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The assets and liabilities of LGS were transferred to LG LCD Co. Ltd. at fair value based on an independent valuation.
On July 26, 1999, Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. (Philips) and LGE entered into a joint venture agreement. Effective August 27, 1999 LG LCD Co., Ltd. changed its name to LG.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements are summarized below.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd. and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances with the consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. The most significant estimates and assumptions relate to the allowance for uncollectable accounts receivables, warranty accrual and deferred tax valuation allowance. 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 be different from the estimates.
Translation of Foreign Currencies
The financial position and results of operations of the Companys subsidiary in Nanjing, China are measured using the Chinese Renminbi as its functional currency, the other overseas subsidiaries use the US dollar, and the Korean parent company uses the Korean Won as its functional currency. The financial statements of these subsidiaries are translated to Korean Won using the current exchange rate method. All the assets and liabilities are translated to Korean Won at the end-of-period exchange rates. Capital accounts are translated using historical exchange rates. Revenues and expenses are translated using average exchange rates. Translation adjustments arising from differences in exchange rates from period to period are included in the cumulative translation adjustment account in other comprehensive income of stockholders equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included as a component of other income (expense).
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments, including time deposits and short-term bonds which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and have an original maturity of three months or less.
Accounts Receivable Securitization
The Company has an accounts receivable securitization program whereby the Company sells receivables in securitization transactions and retains a subordinated interest and servicing rights to those receivables. The Company accounts for the program under the FASBs Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.140 (SFAS 140), Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities. The gain or loss on sales of receivables is determined at the date of transfer based upon the relative fair value of the assets sold and the interests retained. The Company estimates fair value based on the present value of future expected cash flows using managements best estimates of the key assumptions, including collection period and discount rates.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Continued)
December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aggregate estimated collectibility of its accounts receivable.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value, with cost being determined on an average-cost basis, except for the cost of finished products carried by certain subsidiary companies, which is determined on a moving-average cost basis.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives.
Buildings |
20 ~ 40 years | |
Machinery, equipment and vehicles |
4 ~ 8 years | |
Tools, furniture and fixtures |
3 ~ 5 years |
Significant renewals and additions are capitalized at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
The Company capitalizes interest on borrowings during the active construction period of major capital projects. Capitalized interest is added to the cost of the underlying assets and is amortized over the useful lives of the assets. Total interest expense incurred amounted to (Won)91,524 million, (Won)95,553 million and (Won)154,453 million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively, of which, approximately (Won)7,905 million, (Won)37,504 million and (Won)46,913 million, respectively, was capitalized.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets, comprising intellectual property rights (including patents and technology related to the TFT production process and the like), privileges for an industrial water facility, and purchased software, are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives.
Intellectual property rights |
5 ~ 10 years | |
Privilege for industrial water facilities |
10 years | |
Purchased software |
4 years | |
Others |
10 years |
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. When the aggregate undiscounted future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized, based on the fair value of the asset.

Stock Appreciation Plan
Effective January 1, 2005, the company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)). SFAS 123(R) establishes accounting for share-based awards exchanged for employee services. Accordingly, share-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite employee service period. The option price is determinded by Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.
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 with the Company, based on their length of service and rate of pay at the time of termination. Accrued severance benefits are estimated assuming all eligible employees were to terminate their employment at the balance sheet date. The annual severance benefits expense charged to operations is calculated based on the net change in the accrued severance benefits payable at the balance sheet date, plus the actual payments made during the year.
The contributions to the national pension fund made under the National Pension Plan and the severance insurance deposit are deducted from accrued severance benefit liabilities. Contributed amounts are refunded from the National Pension Plan and the insurance company to employees on their retirement.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues from the sale of the Companys products are recognized when : i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, ii) delivery has occurred to the customers, iii) the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable and iv) collectibility is reasonably assured.
The Company generally enters into long term formal master sales agreements with its significant customers. Under the terms of these agreements, the Company does not offer any form of price protection or a returns policy, however, the Company provides basic limited warranties with its products.
The title transfer of the Companys product and risk of loss generally occurs on delivery and acceptance at the customers premises, at which point revenue is recognized.
Research and Development Costs
Certain costs incurred in connection with the purchase of equipment and facilities used in the Companys research and development activities are capitalized into property, plant and equipment, to the extent that they have alternative future uses. All other research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company has expensed (Won)171,387 million, (Won)255,327 million and (Won)365,437 million during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively, for research and development costs which are included in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. These research and development expenses included depreciation cost of equipment and facilities used specifically for research and development activities amounting to (Won)8,987 million, (Won)11,078 million and (Won)11,710 million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company includes shipping and handling costs in selling, general and administrative costs. Shipping and handling costs for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, amounted to (Won)66,900 million, (Won)94,559 million and (Won)187,633 million, respectively.

Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 amounted to (Won)1,697 million, (Won)5,524 million and (Won)21,907 million, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities created by temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred 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. A valuation allowance is provided on deferred tax assets to the extent that it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized. The total income tax provision includes current tax expenses under applicable tax regulations and the change in the balance of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Investment tax credits are accounted for by the flow-through method whereby they reduce income taxes in the period the assets giving rise to such credits are placed in service. To the extent such credits are not currently utilized, deferred tax assets, subject to considerations regarding the need for a valuation allowance, are recognized for the amount carried forward.
Derivative Financial Instruments
All derivative financial instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are either recognized periodically in income or stockholders equity (as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income), depending on whether the derivative financial instrument qualifies as a cash flow hedge.
At the time the Company designates a hedging relationship, it defines the method it will use to assess the hedges effectiveness in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or offsetting cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged.
The Company formally documents all hedging relationships between the derivatives designated as hedges and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedging activities. The Company links all hedges that are designated as cash flow hedges to the specific forecasted transaction. The Company also assesses, both at the inception of the hedge and on an on-going basis, whether the derivatives designated as hedges are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of hedged items. When it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge, the Company discontinues hedge accounting.
The derivatives designated as cash flow hedges include foreign exchange forward contracts, which are used for reducing the risk arising from the changes in anticipated cash flow from expected transactions in foreign currency.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and effective as cash flow hedges for forecasted transactions are initially recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of the ineffective portion are recognized in current period earnings.
The derivatives designated for trading comprise cross-currency swap contracts and foreign exchange forward contracts. Such contracts are marked-to-market with changes in value, including premiums paid or received, recognized in other income (expense) as foreign exchange gain (loss).

Deferred Bond Issuance Costs
Costs that are directly related to the issuance of bonds are capitalized and amortized over the term of the debt using the effective interest rate method.
Warranty Reserve
The Company records warranty liabilities for the estimated costs that may be incurred under its basic limited warranty. This warranty covers defective products and is normally applicable for eighteen months from the date of purchase. These liabilities are accrued when product revenues are recognized. Warranty costs primarily include raw materials and labor costs. Factors that affect the Companys warranty liability include historical and anticipated rate of warranty claims on those repairs and cost per claim to satisfy the Companys warranty obligation. As these factors are impacted by actual experience and future expectations, the Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, time deposits, trade and notes receivable, short-term borrowings, notes and accounts payable and accrued and other liabilities, approximate fair value, due to their short term maturities. The Company estimates the fair values of its long-term debt, including the current portion, based on either the market value or the discounted amounts of future cash flows using the Companys current incremental debt rates for similar liabilities. The fair values of derivative instruments are estimated based on market quotations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 151, Inventory Costsan amendment of ARB No. 43 (FAS No. 151), which is the result of its efforts to converge U.S. accounting standards for inventories with International Accounting Standards. FAS No. 151 requires idle facility expenses, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage) costs to be recognized as current-period charges. It also requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. FAS No. 151 will be effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not believe adoption of FAS No. 151 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2004, the FASB issued FAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (FAS No. 123(R)). This statement requires the use of the fair value based method of accounting for employee share- based compensation and eliminates the alternative use of the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB No. 25. With limited exceptions, FAS No. 123(R) requires that the grant-date fair value of share-based payments to employees be expensed over the period the service is received. This statement shall be effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, with early adoption during the fiscal years beginning after the date this statement is issued encouraged. The Company has adopted FAS No. 123(R) and accounts for its Stock Appreciation Plan using Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.
On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 (FAS No. 153). FAS No. 153 addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets and redefines the scope of transactions that should be measured based on the fair value of the
F-12

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Continued)
December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005
assets exchanged. FAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company does not believe adoption of FAS No. 153 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2005, the FASB issued FAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Correctionsa replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. This Statement requires retrospective application to prior periods financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. When it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of an accounting change on one or more individual prior periods presented, this Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets in the statement of financial position) for that period rather than being reported in an income statement. When it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of applying a change in accounting principle to all prior periods, this Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied as if it were adopted prospectively from the earliest date practicable. The Company does not believe adoption of FAS No. 154 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2006, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments (FAS No. 155), an amendment of FAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities and FAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities. FAS No. 155 amends FAS No. 133 to narrow the scope of the exception for interest-only and principal-only strips on debt instruments to include only such strips representing rights to receive a specified portion of contractual interest or principle cash flows. FAS No. 155 also amends FAS No. 140 to allow qualifying special-purpose entities to hold a passive derivative financial instrument pertaining to beneficial interests that itself is a derivative instrument. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new standard but believe that it will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
3. United States Dollar Amounts
The Company operates primarily in Korea and its financial accounting records are maintained in Korean Won. These translations should not be construed as a representation that the Korean Won amounts shown could be converted, realized or settled in US dollars at this or any other rate. The US dollar amounts are provided herein as supplemental information solely for the convenience of the reader.

Trade bills to overseas subsidiaries negotiated through banks but not yet matured, which were recorded as short-term borrowings as of December 31, 2004 and 2005 amounted to approximately (Won)410,824 million (US $369,339 thousand and JP¥2,808,387 thousand) and (Won)303,904 million (US $300,004 thousand), respectively.
In September 2004, the Company entered into a five-year accounts receivable securitization program (the Program) with a financial institution. The Program allows the Company to sell, on a revolving basis, an undivided interest in up to US $300 million in eligible accounts receivables of four subsidiaries, including LG.Philips LCD America (LPLA), LG.Philips LCD Germany (LPLG), LG.Philips LCD Taiwan (LPLT) and LG.Philips LCD Japan (LPLJ), while retaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the receivables. The eligible receivables of LPLA and LPLG are sold without legal recourse to third party conduits through LG. Philips LCD America Finance Corporation, a qualifying bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity, which is wholly owned by LPLA but is not consolidated for financial reporting purposes. The eligible receivables of LPLT and LPLJ are sold without legal recourse to third party conduits through ABN AMRO Taipei Branch and ABN AMRO Tokyo Branch, respectively, which are consolidated by ABN AMRO Bank. The Company continues servicing the sold receivables and charges the third party conduits a monthly servicing fee at market rates. Accordingly, no servicing asset or liability has been recorded.
The Program qualifies for sale treatment under SFAS 140. As of December 31, 2004 and 2005, the outstanding balance of securitized accounts receivable held by the third party conduits totaled (Won)305,203 million and (Won)272,571 million, respectively, of which the Companys subordinated retained interest was (Won)59,324 million and (Won)52,532 million, respectively. Accordingly, (Won)245,879 million and (Won)220,039 million, respectively, of accounts receivable balances, net of applicable allowances, were removed from the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2004 and 2005. Losses recognized on the sale of accounts receivable totaled approximately (Won)3,906 million and (Won)8,737 million, respectively, in the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2005. This cost is primarily related to the loss on sale of receivables and discount on retained interests, net of the related servicing revenues and various program and facility fees associated with the Program. This cost is included in the accompanying consolidated statement of income under the caption selling, general and administrative expenses.
The Company measures the fair value of its retained interests at the time of a securitization and throughout the term of the Program using a present value model incorporating two key assumptions: (1) a weighted average life of 65 days and (2) a discount rate of 4.04 % per annum. At December 31, 2005, this retained interest is included in the accounts receivables balance reflected in the consolidated balance sheet, at fair value of the Companys retained interest, which approximates book value due to a short average collection cycle for such accounts receivables and the Companys collection history.

The statutory income tax rate, including tax surcharges, applicable to the Company was approximately 29.7% in 2002. The statutory income tax rate was amended to 27.5% effective for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2005 in accordance with the Corporate Income Tax Law enacted in December 2003. Accordingly, deferred income taxes as of December 31, 2004 and 2005 were calculated based on the enacted rate of 27.5%.
Taxes are calculated for each individual entity in the group. As a result, losses incurred by subsidiaries cannot be offset against profits earned by the parent company. Taxes on the operating profit differ from the theoretical amount that would arise at the statutory tax rate of the home country of the parent for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 as follows:

Employees purchased the shares through the ESOA with loans provided by the Company at the initial public offering price ((Won)34,500) and put under each individual employees account. 20% of the 20% of shares (345,600 shares) purchased by employees with loans from the Company is accounted for as a restricted stock award which vests over four years. Unearned compensation, shown as a deduction of Capital Surplus, will be amortized over the 4 year vesting period. During the twelve month period ended December 31, 2005, the Company recorded compensation expense of (Won)5,852 million.

The Commercial Code of the Republic of Korea requires the Company to appropriate a portion of retained earnings as a legal reserve an amount equal to a minimum of 10% of its cash dividends until such reserve equals 50% of its capital stock. The reserve is not available for dividends but may be transferred to capital stock through an appropriate resolution by the Companys board of directors or used to reduce accumulated deficit, if any, through an appropriate resolution by the Companys stockholders.
14. 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
F-22
LG. Philips LCD Co., Ltd.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Continued)
December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005
accounting for share-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 Companys 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 8, 2008 through April 7, 2012.

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 companys stock, the risk-free rate and the companys 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).

15. Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share is computed in a manner consistent with that of basic earnings per share while giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period.
Earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 is calculated as follows:

November 28, 2005, the Company lost its patent infringement case against Tatung Company and ViewSonic Corp. at first instance in Patent Country Court in United Kingdom, and the Company is preparing the appeal against the decision of U.K. Court.

During the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, the Companys revenue from its three largest customers accounted for 41.1%, 42.9% and 40.1% of total revenue respectively. Sales to A Company constituted 13.4%, 12.5% and 9.8% of total revenue, for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. Sales to B Company constituted 18.1%, 16.8% and 14.5% of total revenue, for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. The Company purchases a number of components from various sources. In some cases, alternative sources of supply are not available. In other cases, the Company may establish a working relationship with a single source, even when multiple suppliers are available, if the Company believes it is advantageous to do so due to performance, quality, support, delivery, capacity or price considerations. If the supply of a critical material or component were delayed or curtailed, the Companys ability to ship the related product in desired quantities and in a timely manner could be adversely affected. Even where alternative sources of supply are available, qualification of the alternative suppliers and establishment of reliable supplies could result in delays and a possible loss of sales, which could adversely affect operating results.
