LG Display Co., Ltd.:
We have audited the accompanying non-consolidated statements of financial position of LG Display Co., Ltd. (the Company) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related non-consolidated statements of income, appropriations of retained earnings, changes in stockholders equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These non-consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to issue a report 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 the Company, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations, the appropriation of its retained earnings, the changes in its equity and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea.
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to the following:
As discussed in note 2(b) to the non-consolidated financial statements, 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, changes in shareholders equity and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in countries other than the Republic of Korea. In addition, the procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to audit such non-consolidated financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries. Accordingly, this report and the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements are for use by those knowledgeable about Korean accounting procedures and auditing standards and their application in practice.
As discussed in note 18(b) to the non-consolidated financial statements, the Company is under investigations by Korea Fair Trade Commission in Korea, European Commission and antitrust authorities in other countries with respect to possible anti-competitive activities in the LCD industry. In addition, the Company has been named as defendants in a number of federal class actions in the United States and Canada and related individual lawsuits based on alleged antitrust violations concerning the sale of LCD panels, and the Company and certain of its officers and directors have been named as defendants in a federal class action in the United States by shareholders of the Company alleging violations of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company estimated and recognized losses related to these legal proceedings. However, actual losses are subject to change in the future based on new developments in each matter, or changes in circumstances, which could be materially different from those estimated and recognized by the Company.

This report is effective as of February 16, 2010, the audit report date. Certain subsequent events or circumstances, which may occur between the audit report date and the time of reading this report, could have a material impact on the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Accordingly, the readers of the audit report should understand that there is a possibility that the above audit report may have to be revised to reflect the impact of such subsequent events or circumstances, if any.

1 Organization and Description of Business
LG Display Co., Ltd. (the Company) was incorporated in 1985 under its original name of LG Soft, Ltd. as a wholly owned subsidiary of LG Electronics Inc. In 1998, LG Electronics Inc. and LG Semicon Co., Ltd. transferred their respective Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display (TFT-LCD) related business to the Company. The main business of the Company is to manufacture and sell TFT-LCD panels. In July 1999, LG Electronics Inc. and Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. (Philips) entered into a joint venture agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company changed its name to LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd. However, on February 29, 2008, the Company changed its name to LG Display Co., Ltd. based upon the approval of shareholders at the general shareholders meeting on the same date as a result of the decrease in Philipss share interest in the Company and the possibility of its business expansion to Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) and Flexible Display products. In March 2009, Philips, which used to be one of the major shareholders of the Company, sold all of its share holdings, 47,225 thousand shares, of the Company. As of December 31, 2009, LG Electronics Inc. owns 37.9% (135,625 thousand shares) of the Companys common shares.
As of December 31, 2009, the Company has LCD Research & Development Center and TFT-LCD manufacturing plants in Paju and TFT-LCD manufacturing plants and OLED manufacturing plant in Gumi. The Company has overseas subsidiaries located in the United States of America, Europe and Asia.
2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presenting Financial Statements
(a) Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its non-consolidated financial statements are the same as those followed by the Company in its preparation of annual non-consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008.
(b) Basis of Presenting Financial Statements
The Company maintains its accounting records in Korean Won and prepares statutory financial statements in the Korean language 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(GAAP) in other countries. Accordingly, these non-consolidated financial statements are intended for use only by those who are informed about Korean accounting principles and practices. The accompanying non-consolidated financial statements have been translated into English from the Korean language non-consolidated financial statements.
(c) Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the Companys customers, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, and there is no continuing management involvement with the goods. Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts, volume rebates and other cash incentives paid to customers.

(d) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks, and financial instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. These financial instruments are readily convertible into cash without significant transaction costs and bear low risks from changes in value due to interest rate fluctuations.
(e) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on an analysis of individual accounts and past experience of collection and presented as a deduction from trade receivables.
(f) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value, with cost being determined by a weighted-average method, except for the materials in transit, which is determined by a specific identification method. Valuation loss, which is comprised of the amount of any write-down of inventories to market value and the amount of loss from the difference between the quantity of inventories recorded in the financial statements and the actual quantity incurred in the ordinary course of business, is added to the cost of goods sold. Valuation loss for the holding inventories is presented as a reduction of the inventories. When the circumstances that previously caused inventories to be written down below cost no longer exist or when there is clear evidence of an increase in net realizable value because of changed economic circumstances, the amount of the write-down is reversed and reduces cost of sales to the extent that revised book value does not exceed the book value that would have been recorded without the impairment.
Variable production overheads are allocated based on the actual level of production and fixed production overheads are allocated based on the actual capacity of production facilities. However, the normal capacity may be used for allocation of fixed production overheads if the actual level of production is lower than the normal capacity. The difference between actual fixed production overheads and allocated amount based on the normal level of production is recognized as capacity variances in non-operating expenses.

(g) Investments in Securities
Upon acquisition, the Company classifies debt and equity securities, excluding investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, into the following categories: held-to-maturity, trading securities or available-for-sale securities. This classification is reassessed at each balance sheet date.
Investments in debt securities where the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity. Securities that are acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term are classified as trading securities. Investments not classified as either held-to-maturity or trading securities are classified as available-for-sale securities.
Investments in securities are initially recognized at the fair value of considerations provided by the Company for the acquisition of securities and related transaction costs.
Held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortized cost. Trading and available-for-sale securities are subsequently carried at fair value. Investments in available-for-sale equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values are recognized at cost less impairment, if any.
Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of trading securities are included in the income statement in the period in which they arise. Unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of available-for-sale securities are recognized as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, net of tax, directly in equity. Gains and losses of available-for-sale securities are recognized in the income statement when the securities are disposed or an impairment loss is recognized. Held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortized cost with interest income and expense recognized in the income statement using the effective interest method.
The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that investments in securities are impaired. Impairment losses are recognized when the reasonably estimated recoverable amounts are less than the carrying amount and it is not obviously evidenced that impairment is unnecessary.
Trading securities are presented as current assets. Available-for-sale securities, which mature within one year from the balance sheet date or where the likelihood of disposal within one year from the balance sheet date is probable, are presented as current assets. Held-to-maturity securities, which mature within one year from the balance sheet date, are presented as current assets. All other available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities are presented as long-term investments.

(h) Equity Method Investments
Investments in associates and subsidiaries of which the Company has the ability to significantly influence are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The Company records changes in its proportionate ownership in the net assets of the associates and subsidiaries in current operations or as adjustments to other comprehensive income (loss) or retained earnings, depending on the nature of the underlying change in the net assets of the associates and subsidiaries. If the carrying amount of an investment in an associate or subsidiary falls below zero as a result of reflecting the investees losses when the equity method is applied, the Company discontinues recognizing further changes in its share of equity interest in the associate or subsidiary and the related investment is accounted for at nil value. However, if the Company holds interest in the associate or subsidiary, including preferred stocks, long-term loans and receivables issued by the associate or subsidiary, the Company continues to account for the losses of the associate or subsidiary until the carrying amount of the interest is reduced to zero.
Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and its associates or subsidiaries are eliminated to the extent of the Companys interest in each associate or subsidiary. Unrealized gains are accounted for as a reduction of the carrying amount of the investment in the associate, while unrealized losses are added to the carrying amount of the investment in the associate. However, in the case of unrealized gains or losses arising from sales by the Company to the subsidiaries, they are fully eliminated.
At the date of acquisition of an investment in an associate or subsidiary, the Companys share of the difference between the fair value and book value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of an associate or subsidiary is amortized or reinstated in accordance with the associate or subsidiarys methods of accounting for assets and liabilities. The amount of goodwill or negative goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition cost of an investment in an associate or subsidiary and the Companys share of the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the associate or subsidiary. Goodwill is amortized using the straight-line method over five years. The amount of negative goodwill up to the fair value of depreciable non-monetary assets is recognized using the straight-line method as a gain over the weighted average useful lives and the remainder of negative goodwill up to the fair value of non-depreciable assets is recognized as a gain in the period of disposal of the assets. Any excess of negative goodwill over the fair value of identifiable non-monetary assets is recognized as a gain at the date of acquisition.
Assets and liabilities of a foreign company subject to the equity method of accounting for investments are translated into Korean Won at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period, while its equity is translated at the exchange rate at the time of transactions, and income statement accounts at the average rate over the year. Resulting translation gains and losses are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income and loss.
(i) Interest in Joint Ventures
Joint ventures are those entities two or more venturers are bound by a contractual arrangement and the contractual arrangement establishes a joint control. The Company accounts for its interest in a jointly controlled entity using the equity method of accounting.

(j) Property, Plant and Equipment
Upon acquisition, property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, which includes acquisition cost or production cost and other costs required to prepare the asset for its intended use as well as capitalized financial expense. Assets acquired through investment in kind or donations are recorded at their fair value upon acquisition. For assets acquired in exchange for a similar asset, the carrying amount of the asset given up is used to measure the cost of the asset received, and for assets acquired in exchange for a dissimilar asset, the fair value of the asset given up is used to measure the cost of the asset received unless the fair value of the asset received is more clearly evident.
Depreciation is computed by using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives for the assets with the depreciable amount is determined after deducting its residual value from the cost. Assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss, if any.
Estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:
Estimated useful lives (years) | ||
Buildings |
20, 40 | |
Structures |
20, 40 | |
Machinery and equipment |
4 | |
Vehicles |
4,12 | |
Tools, furniture and fixtures |
4 |
Significant additions or improvement extending the useful lives or increasing the value of the assets are capitalized. Normal maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred.
(k) Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost, which includes acquisition or production cost and other costs required to prepare the asset for its intended use, less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss, if any. Amortization commences when the asset is available for use, and the residual value of an intangible asset is assumed to be zero.
Costs incurred during the development phase are recognized as assets only if the criteria for capitalization as an intangible asset are met, otherwise costs are recognized as a development cost in cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses. Any expenditure incurred in the research phase is recognized as research expense in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Estimated useful lives (years) | ||
Intellectual property rights |
5, 10 | |
Rights to use electricity and gas supply facilities |
10 | |
Rights to use industrial water facilities |

(l) Grants Received
Grants received from government and other third parties, which are to be repaid, are recorded as a liability. While non-refundable grants received are presented as a reduction of the acquisition cost of the acquired assets, grants received for a specific purpose, not related to the acquisition of assets, are offset against the related expense, and other grants received are recorded as other income.
(m) Impairment of Assets
When the book value of an asset is significantly greater than its recoverable value due to obsolescence, physical damage or an abrupt decline in the market value of the asset, the decline in value is deducted from the book value to agree with the recoverable amount and is recognized as an asset impairment loss for the period. When the recoverable value subsequently exceeds the book value, the reversal of impairment amount is recognized as a gain for the period to the extent that the revised book value does not exceed the book value that would have been recorded without the impairment.
(n) Convertible Bonds
When accounting for a convertible bond, the liability component and the equity component of a bond are separated. At the date of issue, the liability component of the bond is calculated at the fair value of a similar debt security without conversion rights, which is the present value of future cash flows from an ordinary bond until maturity and the equity component is calculated as the difference between the gross proceeds of the bond received at the date of issue and the amount of liability component. The equity component of the convertible bond is presented as a part of capital surplus within equity. Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method; however, the equity component is not remeasured subsequent to initial recognition.
(o) Stock and Bond Issue Costs
Stock issue cost is deducted from the gross proceeds from issuance of those stocks and bond issue cost is adjusted to issuance price of debentures and, in turn, discount or premium on debentures.
(p) Discount (Premium) on Debentures
Discount (premium) on debentures, which represents the difference between the face value and issuance price of debentures, is amortized (accreted) using the effective interest method over the life of the debentures. The amount amortized (accreted) is included in interest expense.

(q) Retirement and 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 with the Company. Accrued severance benefits represent the amount which would be payable assuming all eligible employees and directors were to terminate their employment as of the end of the reporting period.
The Company has partially funded the accrued severance benefits through severance insurance deposits with insurance companies. Deposits made by the Company are recorded as a deduction from accrued severance benefits. In the case that the deposits are greater than the balance of accrued severance benefits, the excess portion of deposits over accrued severance benefits is recorded as other investments. The Company deposited a certain portion of severance benefits to the National Pension Service according to the prior National Pension Law. The deposit amount is recorded as a deduction from accrued severance benefits.
(r) Valuation of Receivables and Payables at Present Value
Receivables and payables arising from long-term cash loans or borrowings and other similar transactions are discounted using appropriate discount rates and stated at present value. The difference between the nominal value and present value of these receivables or payables is amortized using the effective interest rate method. The amount amortized is included in interest expense or interest income.
(s) Foreign Currency Translation
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are stated at historical cost, are translated into Korean Won at the foreign exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Korean Won using the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period, with the resulting gains or losses recognized in the statement of income.
(t) Derivatives
The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to manage the foreign currency risk exposures to the changes in fair value of foreign currency denominated accounts receivable and accounts payable. In addition, the Company entered into cross currency swap and interest rate swap contracts to manage the interest rate and foreign currency risk exposures to the variability of future cash flows of floating rate notes.
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value at each end of the reporting period. Attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss when incurred.
Where a derivative, which meets certain criteria, is used for hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability, it is designated as a fair value hedge. Where a derivative, which meets certain criteria, is used for hedging the exposure to the variability of the future cash flows of a forecasted transaction, it is designated as a cash flow hedge.

(t) Derivatives, Continued
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the statement of income, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk.
The effective portion of the changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recognized in equity, other comprehensive income or loss. Amounts accumulated in equity are recycled to the income statement in the periods in which the hedged item will affect profit or loss or adjusted to the carrying value of an asset or liability of the related to the hedged transaction. When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at the time remains in equity and is recognized in income when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognized in the statement of income. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to the statement of income.
The Company documents, at the inception of the transaction, the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Company also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis at each end of the reporting period, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting the changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items and recognizes the gain or loss related to any ineffective portion immediately in the statement of income.
(u) Provisions and Contingent Liabilities
When it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will occur due to a present obligation resulting from a past event, and whose amount is reasonably estimable, a corresponding amount of provision is recognized in the financial statements. However, when such outflow is dependent upon a future event, is not probable to occur, or cannot be reliably estimated, a disclosure regarding the contingent liability is made in the notes to the financial statements.
(v) Income Taxes
Income tax expense includes the current income tax under the relevant income tax laws and the changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the amount of future income tax payables to be decreased or increased, respectively, by temporary differences, which is the difference between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purpose and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, and unused loss carryforwards and tax credits. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the temporary differences, unused losses, and unused tax credits can be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed on temporary differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to the years when such differences are expected to reverse. Changes in the carrying amount of deferred tax assets or liabilities result from a change in tax rates or tax laws are recognized in the income statement except to the extent that the changes relate to items previously reflected directly in the shareholders equity.

(w) Sale or Discount of Accounts Receivable
The Company sells or discounts certain accounts or notes receivable to financial institutions, and accounts for the transactions as sale of the receivables if the control over the receivables is substantially transferred to the buyers. The losses from the sale of the receivables are charged to current operations as incurred.
(x) Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income attributable to stockholders of the Company by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are determined by adjusting net income attributable to stockholders and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential shares.
(y) Use of Estimates
The preparation of non-consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the non-consolidated financial statements and related notes to non-consolidated financial statements. Items requiring managements estimates and assumptions include, but not limited to, the valuation of property, plant and equipment, accounts receivable, inventories, deferred income tax and derivative contracts. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Investigation and litigation filed by authorities in Korea, Japan, Canada, US and European Commission
In December 2006, the Company received notices of investigation by the Korea Fair Trade Commission, the Japan Fair Trade Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the European Commission with respect to possible anti-competitive activities in the TFT-LCD industry. The Company subsequently received similar notices from the Canadian Competition Bureau and the Taiwan Fair Trade Commission.
In November 2008, the Company executed an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) whereby the Company and its U.S. subsidiary, LG Display America, Inc. (LGDUS), pleaded guilty to a Sherman Antitrust Act violation and agreed to pay a single total fine of USD400 million. In December 2008, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California accepted the terms of the plea agreement and entered a judgment against the Company and LGDUS and ordered the payment of USD400 million according to the following schedule: USD20 million plus any accrued interest by June 15, 2009, and USD76 million plus any accrued interest by each of June 15, 2010, June 15, 2011, June 15, 2012, June 15, 2013 and December 15, 2013. The agreement resolved all federal criminal charges against the Company in the United States in connection with this matter.
On May 27, 2009, the European Commission issued a Statement of Objections (SO) regarding alleged anti-competitive activities in the LCD industry. The Company submitted its response to the SO on August 11, 2009, and a hearing before the European Commission was held on September 22 and 23, 2009. Similar investigations into possible anti-competitive practices in the LCD industry were announced by the Federal Competition Commission of Mexico in or about July 2009 and by the Secretariat of Economic Law of Brazil in December 2009.
In November 2009, the Taiwan Fair Trade Commission terminated its investigation without any finding of violations or levying of fines.
Subsequent to the commencement of the DOJ investigation, a number of class action complaints were filed against the Company and other TFT-LCD panel manufacturers in the U.S. and Canada alleging violation of respective antitrust laws and related laws. In a series of decisions in 2007 and 2008, the class action lawsuits in the U.S. were transferred to the Northern District of California for pretrial proceedings (MDL Proceedings). Additionally in 2009, separate claims were filed by ATS Claim LLC, AT&T Corp., Motorola Inc., Electrograph Technologies Corp., Nokia Corp. and their respective related entities, all of which have been transferred to the MDL Proceedings.
In February 2007, the Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors were named as defendants in two purported class action complaints filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York by the shareholders of the Company, alleging that the Company and certain of its officers and directors violated the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
While the Company continues its vigorous defense of the various pending proceedings described above, there is a possibility that one or more proceedings may result in an unfavorable outcome to the Company. The Company has established reserves with respect to certain of the contingencies. However, actual liability may be materially different from the reserves estimated by the Company.

Independent Accountants Review Report on Internal Accounting Control System
English translation of a Report Originally Issued in Korean
To the President of
LG Display Co., Ltd.:
We have reviewed the accompanying Report on the Operations of Internal Accounting Control System (IACS) of LG Display Co., Ltd. (the Company) as of December 31, 2009. The Companys management is responsible for designing and maintaining effective IACS and for its assessment of the effectiveness of IACS. Our responsibility is to review managements assessment and issue a report based on our review. In the accompanying report of managements assessment of IACS, the Companys management stated: Based on the assessment on the operations of the IACS, the Companys IACS has been effectively designed and is operating as of December 31, 2009, in all material respects, in accordance with the IACS Framework issued by the Internal Accounting Control System Operation Committee.
We conducted our review in accordance with IACS Review Standards, issued by the Korean Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those Standards require that we plan and perform the review to obtain assurance of a level less than that of an audit as to whether Report on the Operations of Internal Accounting Control System is free of material misstatement. Our review consists principally of obtaining an understanding of the Companys IACS, inquiries of company personnel about the details of the report, and tracing to related documents we considered necessary in the circumstances. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
A companys IACS is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, however, IACS may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that Report on the Operations of Internal Accounting Control System as of December 31, 2009 is not prepared in all material respects, in accordance with IACS Framework issued by the Internal Accounting Control System Operation Committee.
This report applies to the Companys IACS in existence as of December 31, 2009. We did not review the Companys IACS subsequent to December 31, 2009. This report has been prepared for Korean regulatory purposes, pursuant to the External Audit Law, and may not be appropriate for other purposes or for other users.
