Report of Independent Auditors
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd. and its Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders equity, 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 conformity with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations, the changes in their shareholders equity and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea.
Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers is the Korean member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers. PricewaterhouseCoopers refers to the network of member firms of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited, each of which is a separate and independent legal entity.

3. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
The significant accounting policies followed by the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, are summarized below.
Basis of Consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements are intended for use by those who are informed about Korean accounting principles and practices. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been condensed, restructured and translated into English from the Korean language consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2007 and 2006
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. 18 through 20 became applicable to the Company on January 1, 2006, the Company adopted these Standards in its financial statements covering periods beginning January 1, 2006.
And as SKFAS Nos. 21 through 23, including No.11 and 25, became effective for the Company on January 1, 2007, the Company adopted these Standards in its financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007. However, the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders equity is not presented comparatively in accordance with SKFAS No. 21.
Due to the adoption of SKFAS No.21, certain amounts in the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, have been reclassified to conform to the December 31, 2007 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net loss or shareholders equity.
Principles of Consolidation
The fiscal year end of the consolidated subsidiaries is the same as that of the Controlling Company.
Differences in accounting policy, between the Controlling Company and consolidated subsidiaries, are adjusted during consolidation.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.
All intercompany transactions and balances with consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated during consolidation (Note 29).
To eliminate the investment account of the Controlling Company and corresponding capital accounts of subsidiaries, the purchase method or the pooling of interest method is applied, depending on the nature of the transaction. In using the purchase method, when the Company has control over a subsidiary, the Company records the differences between the initial investment accounts and corresponding capital accounts of subsidiaries as goodwill or negative goodwill, which is amortized over less than 20 years, using the straight-line method.
Unrealized gains or losses included in inventories and other assets as a result of intercompany transactions are eliminated based on the average gross profit ratio of the corresponding company. Unrealized gains or losses, arising from sales by the Controlling Company to the consolidated subsidiaries, is fully eliminated and charged to the equity of the Controlling Company. Unrealized gains or losses, arising from sales by the consolidated subsidiaries to the Controlling Company, or sales between consolidated subsidiaries, are fully eliminated, and charged to the equity of the Controlling Company and the minority interests, based on the percentage of ownership.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the sales of manufactured products are recognized when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods are transferred to the buyer.
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.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts and notes receivable. Allowances are calculated based on the estimates made through a reasonable and objective method.

December 31, 2007 and 2006
Inventories
The quantities of inventories are determined using the perpetual method and periodic inventory count, while the costs of inventories are determined using the moving-weighted average method, except for materials-in-transit, which are stated at actual cost using the specific identification method. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Investments in Securities
Costs of securities are determined using the moving-weighted average method. Investments in equity securities or debt securities are classified into trading securities, available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities, depending on the acquisition and holding purpose. Investments in equity securities of companies, over which the Company exercises a significant control or influence, are recorded using the equity method of accounting. Trading securities are classified as current assets while available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities are classified as long-term investments, excluding those securities that mature or are certain to be disposed of within one year, which are then classified as current assets.
Held-to-maturity securities are measured at amortized cost while available-for-sale and trading securities are measured at fair value. However, non-marketable securities, classified as available-for-sale securities, are carried at cost when the fair values are not readily determinable.
Gains and losses related to trading securities are recognized in the income statement, while unrealized gains and losses of available-for-sale securities are recognized under other comprehensive income and expense. Realized gains and losses of available-for-sale securities are recognized in the income statement.
Equity method Investments
Investees over which the Company can exercise significant influence should reflect any changes in equity after the initial purchase date. 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. All other changes in equity should be accounted for under other comprehensive income and expense.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, which includes acquisition cost, production cost and other costs required to prepare the asset for its intended use. It also includes the present value of the estimated cost of dismantling and removing the asset, and restoring the site after the termination of the assets useful life, provided it meets the criteria for recognition of provisions.

Buildings |
20 - 40 years | Straight-line method | ||
Structures |
20 - 40 years | Straight-line method | ||

Expenditures incurred after the acquisition or completion of assets are capitalized if they enhance the value of the related assets over their recently appraised value or extend the useful life of the related assets. Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost, which includes acquisition cost, production cost and other costs required to prepare the asset for its intended use. Intangible assets are stated net of accumulated amortization calculated based on using the following depreciation method and estimated useful lives:
Estimated useful lives |
Depreciation Method | |||
Intellectual property rights |
5 - 10 years | Straight-line method | ||
Rights to use electricity and gas supply facilities |
10 years | Straight-line method | ||
Rights to use industrial water facilities |
10 years | Straight-line method | ||
Software |
4 - 10 years | Straight-line method |
Government grants
Government grants received, which are to be repaid, are recorded as liability, while grants without obligation to be repaid are offset against cost of assets purchased with such grants. Grants received for a specific purpose are offset against the specific expense for which it was granted, and other grants are recorded as a gain for the period.
Capitalized Interest
The Company capitalizes interest expense incurred on borrowings used to finance the cost of manufacturing, acquisition, and construction of inventory and property, plant, and equipment that require more than one year to complete from the initial date of manufacture, acquisition, and construction.
Impairment Loss 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 said decline in value is deducted from the book value to agree with recoverable amount and is recognized as an asset impairment loss for the period. When the recoverable value subsequently exceeds the book value, the impairment amount is recognized as 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. Reversal of impairment of goodwill is not allowed.

Lease Transactions
The Company accounts for lease transactions as either operating lease or capital lease, depending on the terms of the lease agreement. As of December 31, 2007, current lease transactions are classified only as operating leases and the related lease rentals are charged to expense when incurred.
Discounts on Debentures
Discounts on debentures are amortized over the term of the debentures using the effective interest rate method. Amortization of the discount is recorded as part of interest expense.
Translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Korean won at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date, and the resulting translation gains and losses are recognized in current operations.
Currency translation for foreign operations
Assets and liabilities of a foreign branch or company subject to the equity method of accounting for investments are translated into Korean won at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date, while their equity is translated at the exchange rate at the time of transaction, and income statement accounts at the average rate over the period. Resulting translation gains and losses are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income and expense. Corresponding gains and losses are recognized as gain or loss when the foreign branch or company is liquidated or sold.
Provisions and Contingent liability
When there is a probability 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 certain to occur, or cannot be reliably estimated, a disclosure regarding the contingent liability is made in the notes to the financial statements.
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 with the Company 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 partially funded the accrued severance benefits through severance insurance deposits with an insurance company. Deposits made by the Company are recorded as deductions from accrued severance benefits. The excess portion of deposits over accrued severance benefits is recorded as other investments. The Company deposits certain portion severance benefits to National Pension Service according to National Pension Law. The deposit amount is recorded as deduction from accrued severance benefits.
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 sales 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.

Derivatives
All derivative instruments are accounted for at their fair value according to the rights and obligations associated with the derivative contracts. The resulting changes in fair value of derivative instruments are recognized either under the income statement or shareholders equity, depending on whether the derivative instruments qualify as a cash flow hedge. Fair value hedge accounting is applied to a derivative instrument purchased with the purpose of hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or a firm commitment that is attributable to a particular risk. The resulting changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recognized under the shareholders equity under accumulated other comprehensive income and expense.
Convertible bonds
When convertible bonds are issued, the amount paid for the conversion right, which is computed as the difference between the issuing value and the present value of future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate of the bond without conversion features, is included in other capital surplus. The related adjustment to the conversion right is presented as a deduction from the 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 fair value. Under the fair 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 year.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense includes the current income tax under the relevant income tax law and the changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent temporary differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are recognized for temporary differences which will decrease future taxable income or operating loss to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax effects applicable to items in the shareholders equity are directly reflected in the shareholders equity.

Certain information attached to the Korean language financial statements, but not required for a fair presentation of the Companys financial position, results of operations, changes in shareholders equity or cash flow, is not presented in the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements.
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. 18 through 20 became applicable to the Company on January 1, 2006, the Company adopted these Standards in its financial statements covering periods beginning January 1, 2006.
And as SKFAS Nos. 21 through 23, including No.11, became effective for the Company on January 1, 2007, the Company adopted these Standards in its financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007. However, the non-consolidated statement of changes in shareholders equity is not presented comparatively in accordance with SKFAS No. 21.
Due to the adoption of SKFAS No.21, certain amounts in the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, have been reclassified to conform to the December 31, 2007 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net loss or shareholders equity.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the sales of manufactured products are recognized when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods are transferred to the buyer.

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.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts and notes receivable. Allowances are calculated based on the estimates made through a reasonable and objective method.
Inventories
The quantities of inventories are determined using the perpetual method and periodic inventory count, while the costs of inventories are determined using the moving-weighted average method, except for materials-in-transit, which are stated at actual cost using the specific identification method. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Investments in Securities
Costs of securities are determined using the moving-weighted average method.
Investments in equity securities or debt securities are classified into trading securities, available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities, depending on the acquisition and holding purpose. Investments in equity securities of companies, over which the Company exercises a significant control or influence, are recorded using the equity method of accounting. Trading securities are classified as current assets while available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities are classified as long-term investments, excluding those securities that mature or are certain to be disposed of within one year, which are then classified as current assets.
Held-to-maturity securities are measured at amortized cost while available-for-sale and trading securities are measured at fair value. However, non-marketable securities, classified as available-for-sale securities, are carried at cost when the fair values are not readily determinable.
Gains and losses related to trading securities are recognized in the income statement, while unrealized gains and losses of available-for-sale securities are recognized under other comprehensive income and expense. Realized gains and losses of available-for-sale securities are recognized in the income statement.

Equity method Investments
Investees over which the Company can exercise significant influence should reflect any changes in equity after the initial purchase date. 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. All other changes in equity should be accounted for under other comprehensive income and expense.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, which includes acquisition cost, production cost and other costs required to prepare the asset for its intended use. It also includes the present value of the estimated cost of dismantling and removing the asset, and restoring the site after the termination of the assets useful life, provided it meets the criteria for recognition of provisions.
Property, plant and equipment are stated net of accumulated depreciation calculated based on the following depreciation method and estimated useful lives:
Estimated useful lives |
Depreciation Method | |||
Buildings |
20 - 40 years | Straight-line method | ||
Structures |
20 - 40 years | Straight-line method | ||
Machinery and equipment |

Expenditures incurred after the acquisition or completion of assets are capitalized if they enhance the value of the related assets over their recently appraised value or extend the useful life of the related assets. Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost, which includes acquisition cost, production cost and other costs required to prepare the asset for its intended use. Intangible assets are stated net of accumulated amortization calculated based on using the following depreciation method and estimated useful lives:
Estimated useful lives |

Government grants
Government grants received, which are to be repaid, are recorded as liability, while grants without obligation to be repaid are offset against cost of assets purchased with such grants. Grants received for a specific purpose are offset against the specific expense for which it was granted, and other grants are recorded as a gain for the period.
Capitalized interest
The Company capitalizes interest expense incurred on borrowings used to finance the cost of manufacturing, acquisition, and construction of inventory and property, plant, and equipment that require more than one year to complete from the initial date of manufacture, acquisition, and construction.
Impairment loss 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 said decline in value is deducted from the book value to agree with recoverable amount and is recognized as an asset impairment loss for the period. When the recoverable value subsequently exceeds the book value, the impairment amount is recognized as 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. Reversal of impairment of goodwill is not allowed.
Discounts on Debentures
Discounts on debentures are amortized over the term of the debentures using the effective interest rate method. Amortization of the discount is recorded as part of interest expense.
Translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Korean won at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date, and the resulting translation gains and losses are recognized in current operations.
Currency translation for foreign operations
Assets and liabilities of a foreign branch or company subject to the equity method of accounting for investments are translated into Korean won at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date, while their equity is translated at the exchange rate at the time of transaction, and income statement accounts at the average rate over the period. Resulting translation gains and losses are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income and expense. Corresponding gains and losses are recognized as gain or loss when the foreign branch or company is liquidated or sold.

Provisions and Contingent liability
When there is a probability 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 certain to occur, or cannot be reliably estimated, a disclosure regarding the contingent liability is made in the notes to the financial statements.
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 with the Company 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 partially funded the accrued severance benefits through severance insurance deposits with an insurance company. Deposits made by the Company are recorded as deductions from accrued severance benefits. The excess portion of deposits over accrued severance benefits is recorded as other investments. The Company deposits certain portion severance benefits to National Pension Service according to National Pension Law. The deposit amount is recorded as deduction from accrued severance benefits.
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 sales 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.
Derivatives
All derivative instruments are accounted for at their fair value according to the rights and obligations associated with the derivative contracts. The resulting changes in fair value of derivative instruments are recognized either under the income statement or shareholders equity, depending on whether the derivative instruments qualify as a cash flow hedge. Fair value hedge accounting is applied to a derivative instrument purchased with the purpose of hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or a firm commitment that is attributable to a particular risk. The resulting changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recognized under the shareholders equity under accumulated other comprehensive income and expense.

Convertible bonds
When convertible bonds are issued, the amount paid for the conversion rights, which is computed as the difference between the issuing value and the present value of future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate of the bond without conversion features, is included in other capital surplus. The related adjustment to the conversion right is presented as a deduction from the 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 fair value. Under the fair 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 fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the agreed minimum service period.
Income Tax
Income tax expense includes the current income tax under the relevant income tax law and the changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent temporary differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are recognized for temporary differences which will decrease future taxable income or operating loss to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax effects applicable to items in the shareholders equity are directly reflected in the shareholders equity.
Approval of Non-Consolidated Financial Statements
The December 31, 2007 non-consolidated financial statements of the Company were approved by the Board of Directors on January 15, 2008.

Report of Independent Accountants
Review of Internal Accounting Control System
To the President of
LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd.
We have reviewed the accompanying managements report on the operations of the Internal Accounting Control System (IACS) of LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd.(the Company) as of December 31, 2007. The Companys management is responsible for designing and operating IACS and for its assessment of the effectiveness of IACS. Our responsibility is to review the managements report on the operations of the IACS and issue a report based on our review. The managements report on the operations of the IACS of the Company states that based on its assessment of the operations of the IACS as of December 31, 2007, the Companys IACS has been designed and is operating effectively as of December 31, 2007, in all material respects, in accordance with the IACS standards established by the Internal Accounting Control System Operations Committee (IACSOC) of the Korea Listed Companies Association.
Our review was conducted in accordance with the IACS review standards established by the Korean Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and perform, in all material respects, the review of managements report on the operations of the IACS to obtain a lower level of assurance than an audit. A review is to obtain an understanding of a companys IACS and consists principally of inquiries of management and, when deemed necessary, a limited inspection of underlying documents, which is substantially less in scope than an audit.
A companys IACS is a system to monitor and operate those policies and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. Because of its inherent limitations, IACS may not prevent or detect a material misstatement of the financial statements. 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.
49
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that managements report on the operations of the IACS, referred to above, is not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the IACS standards established by IACSOC.
Our review is based on the Companys IACS as of December 31, 2007, and we did not review managements assessment of its IACS subsequent to December 31, 2007. This report has been prepared pursuant to the Acts on External Audit for Stock Companies in Korea and may not be appropriate for other purposes or for other users.
