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 flat panel displays is growing rapidly. The flat panel display industry is characterized by high entry barriers due to rapidly evolving 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 PCs & Monitors has been closely related to the IT industry cycle. The demand for LCD panels for TVs 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 well as being a capital intensive business. In spite of the increase in demand for products, this industry has experienced periodic volatility caused by imbalances between demand and supply due to capacity expansion within the industry.

 

  - Intense competition and expectations of demand growth may lead panel manufacturers to invest in manufacturing capacity on similar schedules, resulting in a surge in capacity when production is ramped up at new fabrication facilities.

 

  - During such surges in capacity growth, our customers can exert and have exerted strong downward pricing pressure, resulting in sharp declines in average selling prices and significant fluctuations in our gross margins. Conversely, demand surges and fluctuations in the supply chain can lead to price increases.

 

  (3) Competitiveness

 

  - Our ability to compete successfully also depends on factors both within and outside our control, including product pricing, performance and reliability, successful and timely investment and product development, success or failure of our end-brand customers in marketing their brands and products, component and raw material supply costs, and general economic and industry conditions.

 

  - Core competitiveness includes technology leadership, capability to design new products and premium products, timely investment in advanced fabs, cost leadership through application of large production lines, innovation of process and productivity, and collaborative customer relationships.


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

 

  - A substantial portion of our sales is attributable to a limited group of end-brand customers and their designated system integrators. The loss of these end-brand customers, as a result of customers entering into strategic supplier arrangements with our competitors or otherwise, would thus result in reduced sales.

 

  - Developing new products and technologies that can be differentiated from those of our competitors is critical to the success of our business. We take active measures to protect our intellectual property internationally by obtaining patents and undertaking monitoring activities in our major markets. It is also necessary to recruit and retain the experienced key staffs and highly skilled line operators.

 

  (4) Sourcing material

 

  - Materials are sourced in-house (color filters) as well as from domestic and overseas vendors. However, recently, the domestic portion has grown due to the active participation of domestic vendors.

 

  - The shortage of raw materials may arise temporarily due to the rapid increase in demand for raw materials from capacity expansion in the TFT-LCD industry.

 

  - We have purchased, and expect to purchase, a substantial portion of our equipment from a limited number of qualified foreign and local suppliers. From time to time, increased demand for new equipment may cause lead times to extend beyond those normally required by the equipment vendors.

 

  (5) Others

 

  - Most TFT-LCD panel makers are located in Asia.

 

a. Korea:    LG.Philips LCD, Samsung Electronics (including Joint Venture between Samsung Electronics and Sony Corporation), BOE-Hydis
b. Taiwan:    AU Optronics, Chi Mei Optoelectronics, CPT, QDI, etc.
c. Japan:    Sharp, Hitachi, etc.
d. China:    SVA-NEC LCD, BOE-OT, etc.

  B. Company

 

  (1) Business overview

 

  - We started the TFT-LCD business in 1998. We currently operate six fabrication facilities located in Gumi, Korea and three module facilities located in Gumi, Korea and Nanjing, China and we are constructing our 7th generation fab (P7) in Paju, Korea.

 

  - We became the first LCD maker in the world to commence commercial production at a 4th generation fab (P3) in July 2000 and at a 5th generation fab (P4) in March 2002 to meet the demand for large-size monitors.

 

  - We started mass production at our 6th generation fab (P6) in August 2004, which has 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.

 

  - Sales in the first half of 2005 increased by 3% to KRW 3,799 billion (USD 3,674 million) from sales of KRW 3,687 billion (USD 3,566 million) in the second half of 2004 and decreased 14% compared to KRW 4,393 billion (USD 4,249 million) in the first half of 2004.

 

  - Due to the decrease in selling prices, etc, operating income in the first half of 2005 swung to an operating loss of KRW 134 billion (USD 130 million) from a profit of KRW 177 billion (USD 171 million) in the second half of 2004. Net income in the first half of 2005 swung to a loss of KRW 38 billion (USD 37 million) from a profit of KRW 326 billion (USD 315 million) in the second half of 2004.

 

  - Business area of the company for disclosure is limited to LCD business.

  (3) Market characteristics

 

  - Due to the recent high growth in the display appliance market for the flat display format, the scale of the LCD market is growing at a rapid rate, resulting in expansion of the market centered mainly in America, Japan, Europe and China.

 

  (4) New business

 

  - 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 of primarily 42” and 47” LCDs for TVs and large size LCDs for Monitors 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 P7’s 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 KRW 5.3 trillion.

Report of Independent Accountants

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd.

 

We have reviewed the accompanying non-consolidated balance sheet of LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2005, and the related non-consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, expressed in Korean won. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these interim financial statements based on our reviews.

 

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the quarterly review and semi-annual review standards established by the Securities and Futures Commission of the Republic of Korea. These standards require that we plan and perform our review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

Based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the non-consolidated interim financial statements referred to above are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea.

 

We have audited the non-consolidated balance sheet of LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2004, and the related non-consolidated statements of operations, appropriations of retained earnings and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. We expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements in our audit report dated January 26, 2005. These financial statements are not included in this review report. The non-consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004, presented herein for comparative purposes, is consistent, in all material respects, with the above audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2004.

 

Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers is the Korean member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers. PricewaterhouseCoopers refer to the network of member firms of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited, each of which is a separate and independent legal entity.

As discussed in Note 23, on July 7, 2005, the Board of directors of the Company approved the sale of 26,850,000 shares of common stock in the form of American Depositary shares (“ADSs”) for gross proceeds of US$1,200,000 thousands pursuant to a Form F-1 registration statement filed on July 7, 2005 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the Company granted the initial purchasers an option to purchase up to an additional US$200,000 thousand aggregate principal amount of common stock.

 

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

 

Seoul, Korea

July 15, 2005

 

This report is effective as of July 15, 2005, the review report date. Certain subsequent events or circumstances, which may occur between the review report date and the time of reading this report, could have a material impact on the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto. Accordingly, the readers of the review report should understand that there is a possibility that the above review report may have to be revised to reflect the impact of such subsequent events or circumstances, if any.

1. The Company

 

LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated in 1985 under the Commercial Code of the Republic of Korea and commenced the manufacturing and sale of Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display (“TFT LCD”) from 1999. On July 26, 1999, LG Electronics Inc., Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. (“Philips”) and the Company entered into a joint venture agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company changed its name from LG LCD CO., Ltd. to LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd. effective August 27, 1999, and on August 31, 1999, the Company issued new shares of common stock to Philips for (Won)725,000 million.

 

In July 2004, pursuant to Securities Registration Statement filed on July 16, 2004, with the Korea Stock Exchange, the Company sold 8,640,000 shares of common stock for (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 proceeds of US$748,800 thousand. In September 2004, pursuant the underwriting agreement dated July 15, 2004, the Company issued an additional 1,715,700 shares of common stock in the form of ADSs for proceeds of US$51,471 thousand.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its interim non-consolidated financial statements are summarized below:

 

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

 

The Company maintains its accounting records in Korean won and prepares statutory financial statements in the Korean language (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 Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, is not presented in the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements.

 

Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported therein. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from those estimates.

 

Application of the Statements of Korean Financial Accounting Standards

 

The Korean Accounting Standards Board has published a series of Statements of Korean Financial Accounting Standards (SKFAS), which will gradually replace the existing financial accounting standards established by the Korean Financial Supervisory Commission. As SKFAS Nos. 10, 12 and 13 became applicable to the Company on January 1, 2004, the Company adopted these Standards in its financial statements covering periods beginning January 1, 2004.

 

And as SKFAS Nos. 15 through 17 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2005, the Company adopted these Standards in its financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

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

 

Revenue Recognition

 

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

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

(Unaudited)

 

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

 

The Company’s proportionate unrealized profit arising from sales between the Company and the equity-method investees or sales between equity-method investees is eliminated. If the equity-method investees are the Company’s subsidiaries, unrealized profit arising from sales by the Company to subsidiaries is fully 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 enumerated below:

 

     Estimated useful lives

Buildings    20 - 40 years
Structures    20 - 40 years
Machinery and equipment    4 years
Vehicles    4 years
Tools, furniture and fixtures    4 years

 

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

 

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

 

See Report of Independent Accountants.

Intangible Assets

 

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

 

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

 

Discounts on Debentures

 

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

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Korean won at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date ((Won)1,028.8:US$1 as of June 30, 2005; (Won)1,035.6:US$1 as of December 31, 2004), and the resulting translation gains and losses are recognized in current operations.

 

Warranty Reserve

 

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

 

Accrued Severance Benefits

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

See Report of Independent Accountants.

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 is 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 various 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.

 

Convertible bonds

 

When convertible bonds are issued, the amount paid for the conversion right, which is computed as a difference between the issuing value and the present value of future cash flows discounted at effective interest rate of bond without conversion features, is included in other capital surplus. The related adjustment account to the conversion right is presented as a deduction of face value, whereas call premium is presented as an addition.

 

Stock Appreciation Plan

 

Compensation costs for stock options granted to employees and executives are recognized on the basis of intrinsic value. Under the intrinsic value basis method, compensation costs for stock option plans are determined by calculating the difference between the exercise price and the market price of the underlying stock. Stock-based compensation cost is remeasured at each reporting date, based on the intrinsic value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the agreed minimum service period.

 

Income Taxes

 

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

 

See Report of Independent Accountants.

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

Total unrealized gains and losses of (Won)3,166 million and (Won)26,931 million, respectively, were charged to current operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, as these contracts did not meet the requirements for a cash flow hedge. Unrealized gains and losses of (Won)29,795 million and (Won)28,575 million, respectively, incurred relating to cash flow hedges from forecasted exports, were recorded as capital adjustments.

 

The forecasted hedged transactions are expected to occur on June 28, 2006. The aggregate amount of all deferred gains and losses of (Won)35,459 million and (Won)34,871 million, respectively, recorded net of tax under capital adjustments, are expected to be included in the determination of gain and loss within a year from June 30, 2005.

 

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, the Company recorded realized exchange gains of (Won)23,300 million (2004: (Won)17,566 million) on foreign currency forward contracts upon settlement, and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, realized exchange losses amounted to (Won)11,426 million (2004: (Won)20,216 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.

As of June 30, 2005, unrealized gains and losses of (Won)2,394 million and (Won)992 million, respectively, were charged to current operations, as these contracts do not fulfill the requirements for hedge accounting for financial statement purposes.

The effective tax rate of the Company for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, is negative 76.71% (2004: 7.36%).

19. Earnings Per Share

 

Earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Ordinary income (loss) per share is computed by dividing ordinary income (loss) allocated to common stock, which is net income (loss) allocated to common stock as adjusted by extraordinary gains or losses, net of related income taxes, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

 

Earnings (loss) per share for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, is calculated as follows:

 

(in millions, except for per share amount)

 

   For the three-month
periods ended June 30,


   For the six-month
periods ended June 30,


   2005

Earnings (loss) per share

   (Won) 126    (Won) 2,418    (Won) (116 )   (Won) 4,583
    

  

  


 

 

As there were no dilutive securities as of March 31, 2005, the diluted earnings per share was identical to the basic earnings per share, and the diluted ordinary income per share was likewise identical to basic ordinary income.

 

The Company has not issued any dilutive securities since inception. On April 19, 2005, however, it issued convertible bonds. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, diluted loss per share is identical to basic loss per share, and diluted ordinary loss per share is identical to basic ordinary loss per share as Company recorded a net loss during the said period. Further, diluted earnings per share is identical to basic earnings per share, and diluted ordinary income per share to basic ordinary income per share as the convertible bonds issued have no dilutive effect for the three-month period ended June 30, 2005.

7. 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 accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services. Accordingly, stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant 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 managements. Under the terms of this plan, managements on exercise receive cash equal to the amount that the market price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the strike price ((Won)44,260) of the SARs.

 

The following table shows total stock-based compensation expense included in the consolidated statement of operations:

 

(in millions of Korean won)

Cost of goods sold

   (Won) 393  

Selling general and administrative

     538  

Income tax benefits

     (202 )
    


Total stock-based compensation expense

   (Won) 729  
    


 

As of June 30, 2005, (Won)6,517 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested awards is expected to be recognized over the next twenty-one months.

 

There were no capitalized stock-based compensation costs at June 30, 2005

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 company’s stock, the risk-free rate and the company’s 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).

 

The fair value of SARs was estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions:

 

     June 30, 2005

 

Option term (years) 1

     3  

Volatility 2

     41.5 %

Risk-free interest rate (Korean government bond)

     4.0 %

Dividend yield

     0 %

Weighted average fair value per option granted

   (Won)  16,552  

1 The option term is the number of years that the company estimates, based primarily on history, that options will be outstanding prior to settlement.
2 Measured using historical daily price changes of the company’s stock over the respective term of the option.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company is subject to 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 TFT-LCDs. Subsequently the Company filed a complaint against customers of Chunghwa Picture Tubes, including ViewSonic Corp., Jeans Co, Lite-On Technology Corp., Lite-On Technology International, Inc., TpV Technology and Invision Peripheral Inc. In June 2004, Chunghwa Picture Tubes filed a counter-claim against the Company in the United States District Court for the Central District of California for alleged infringement of certain patents and violation of U.S. antitrust laws. In May 2004, the Company filed a complaint against Tatung Co., the parent company of Chunghwa Picture Tubes and ViewSonic Corp. and others, claiming patent infringement of rear mountable liquid crystal display devices in the United States District of Delaware and the Patent Country Court in the United Kingdom. The Company also filed a complaint against Chunghwa Picture Tubes with the American Arbitration Association in connection with the ownership of certain patents. On May 25, 2004, the Company filed a Complaint for Declaratory Judgement of properly recorded inventorship in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts.

The Company’s management does not expect the outcome in any of these legal proceedings, individually or collectively, to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

9. Net Income (Loss) Per Share

(In millions, except for per share amount)

 

   2004

   2005

 

Net income (loss) as reported on the income statements

   (Won)  1,350,240    (Won)  (56,075 )

Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding

     290      325  
    

  


Net income (loss) per share

   (Won) 4,656    (Won)  (172 )
    

  


 

Convertible bonds, which have a potentially dilutive effect by decreasing net income allocated to common stock, were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS since they did not have a dilutive effect.
