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 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 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. |
- | 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 obtain international protection of our intellectual property 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
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. |
- | 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 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 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 Auditors
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd.
We have audited the accompanying non-consolidated balance sheets of LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd. (the Company) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related non-consolidated statements of income, appropriations of retained earnings, and cash flows for the years then ended, expressed in Korean won. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the non-consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations, the changes in its retained earnings and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea.
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 U.S. 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 an additional 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 auditing standards and their application in practice vary among countries. The accompanying non-consolidated 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 audit 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 auditing standards and their application in practice.

Notes to Non-Consolidated Financial Statements

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.

Notes to Non-Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2004 and 2003
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
The significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its 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 Board. As SKFAS No. 2 through No. 9 became applicable to the Company on January 1, 2003, and it adopted these statements in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Further, as SKFAS Nos. 10, 12 and 13 became applicable to the Company on January 1, 2004, it adopted these Standards in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004.
As a result of these changes, (Won)57,487 million of non-operating expense has been reclassified to cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2004 (2003 : (Won)27,007 million). 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.

Notes to Non-Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2004 and 2003
Revenue Recognition
Sales of manufactured products are recognized when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods are transferred.
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 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 book value of the investee. The Company discontinues the equity method of accounting for investments in equity method investees when the Companys share of 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 Companys initial proportionate ownership of the net book value of the investee are amortized over less than 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:
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 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 electronics 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 basic rates in effect at the balance sheet date ((Won)1,035.6:US$1 as of December 31, 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.
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 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.

Notes to Non-Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2004 and 2003
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.

December 31, 2004 and 2003
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 ownership for certain patent 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., and other claiming patent infringement on rear mountable liquid crystal display devices in United States District of Delaware and Patent country Court in the United Kingdom. The Company filed a complaint against Chunghwa Picture Tubes in American Arbitration Association in connection with the ownership for patent. On May 25, 2004, the Company filed a Complaint for Declaratory Judgment of properly recorded inventorship in United States District Court for the district of Massachusetts. In January 2005, Chunghwa Picture Tubes filed a complaint for patent infringement against the Company. The Companys management does not expect that the outcome in any of these legal proceedings, individually or collectively, will have any material adverse effect on the Companys 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 December 31, 2004, the Company recorded unrealized gains and losses on outstanding foreign currency forward contracts of (Won)123,585 million and (Won)35 million, respectively. Total unrealized gains and losses of (Won)68,298 million and (Won)35 million, respectively, were charged to current operations for the year ended December 31, 2004, as these contracts did not meet the requirements for a cash flow hedge. Unrealized gains amounting to (Won)55,287 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 December 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 December 31, 2004, is (Won)55,287 million.
For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company recorded realized exchange gains of (Won)80,306 million (2003: (Won)40,978 million) on foreign currency forward contracts upon settlement, and for year ended December 31, 2004, realized exchange losses amounted to (Won)51,597 million (2003: (Won)16,648 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.

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 significant 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004
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.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based on the aggregate estimated collectibility of its accounts receivable.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, 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.
Lease Transactions
Assets leased under capital leases are recorded at cost as property, plant and equipment and depreciated on a straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. In addition, aggregate lease payments are recorded as obligations under capital leases, net of accrued interest as determined by the total lease payments in excess of the cost of the leased machinery and equipment. Accrued interest is amortized over the lease period using the effective- interest rate method.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004
Tools, furniture and fixtures acquired under operating lease agreements are not included in property, plant and equipment. Rather, the related lease rentals are charged to expense when incurred.
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)71,742 million, (Won)91,524 million and (Won)95,553 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively, of which, approximately (Won)9,447 million, (Won)7,905 million and (Won)37,504 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 the 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 intangible assets that do not have indefinite lives 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.

December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004
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.
For domestic customers, 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. For overseas customers, the Company dispatches goods by common carrier, whereby risk of loss and the transfer of title to the customer occurs at the point of shipping and these revenues are recognized as the goods are shipped.
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)117,613 million, (Won)171,387 million and (Won)255,327 million during the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, 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)11,685 million, (Won)8,987 million and (Won)11,078 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, 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, 2002, 2003 and 2004, amounted to (Won)29,412 million, (Won)66,900 million and (Won)94,559 million, respectively.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 amounted to (Won)3,656 million, (Won)1,697 million and (Won)5,524 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 about 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004
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 March 2004, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments. EITF 03-1 includes new guidance for evaluating and recording impairment losses on debt and equity investments, as well as new disclosure requirements for investments that are deemed to be temporarily impaired. In September 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position EITF 03-1-1, which delays the effective date until additional guidance is issued for the application of the recognition and measurement provisions of EITF 03-1 to investments in securities that are impaired; however, the disclosure requirements are effective for annual periods ending after June 15, 2004. Once the FASB reaches a final decision on the measurement and recognition provisions, the Company will evaluate the impact of the adoption of EITF 03-1.
In November 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 151, Inventory Costs an amendment of ARB No. 43 (FAS 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 is evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123 (Revised), Share Based Payment, that requires companies to expense the value of employee stock options and similar awards for interim and annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005 and applies to all outstanding and unvested stock-based awards at a companys adoption date. The Company is evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. Statement 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 assets exchanged. Statement 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company does not believe adoption of Statement 153 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Trade bills to overseas subsidiaries negotiated through banks but not yet matured, which were recorded as short-term borrowings as of December 31, 2003 and 2004 amounted to approximately (Won)102,841 million (US$86,109 thousand) and (Won)410,824 million (US$369,339 thousand and JP¥2,808,387 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, the outstanding balance of securitized accounts receivable held by the third party conduits totaled (Won)305,203 million, of which the Companys subordinated retained interest was (Won)59,324 million. Accordingly, (Won)245,879 million of accounts receivable balances, net of applicable allowances, were removed from the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2004. Losses recognized on the sale of accounts receivable totaled approximately (Won)3,906 million in the year ended December 31, 2004. 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 4.11 % per annum. At December 31, 2004, 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.

Realization of the future tax benefits related to the deferred tax assets is dependent on many factors, including the Companys ability to generate taxable income within the period during which the temporary differences reverse, the outlook for the Korean economic environment, and the overall future industry outlook. Management periodically considers these factors in reaching its conclusion, and has determined that no valuation allowance was required as of December 31, 2003 and 2004.
Under the Foreign Investment Promotion Act of Korea, from September 1999, the Company is entitled to an exemption from income taxes in proportion to the percentage of foreign equity for seven years following the registration of each foreign equity investment, and at one-half of that percentage for the subsequent three years through 2008.

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, 2003 and 2004 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.

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.
Pursuant to the Special Tax Treatment Control Law, the Company was required to appropriate, as a reserve for business rationalization, amounts equal to the tax reductions arising from tax exemptions and tax credits. This reserve was not available for payment of cash 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. Effective for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2002, the Special Tax Treatment Control Law was amended and this reserve is available for payment of cash dividends
14. 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. The Company does not have any potentially dilutive common shares. Therefore, earnings per share is the same as diluted earnings per share.
Earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 is calculated as follows:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004
During the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, the Companys revenue from its three largest customers accounted for 34.8%, 41.1% and 42.9% of total revenue respectively. Sales to A Company constituted 12.4%, 13.4% and 12.5% of total revenue, for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. And sales to B Company constituted 12.1%, 18.1% and 16.8% of total revenue, for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003, and 2004, 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.
