III. Reference Relating to the Business

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 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. We expect competition between TFT-LCD and PDP technologies to intensify in the area of large flat TV products. 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 of LCD industry

 

  - 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 price, performance and reliability, successful and timely investment and product development, success of our end-brand customers in marketing their brands and products, component and raw material supply costs, competing technology and general economic and industry conditions.

 

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

 

  - Most importantly, cost leadership and stable and long-term relationships with customers are critical to secure profit even in a 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, 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, etc.

c. Japan: Sharp, Hitachi, etc.

d. China: SVA-NEC, BOE-OT, etc.


B. Company

 

  (1) Company overview

 

  - The commercial production of our TFT-LCD business began in September 1995 at P1, which was then the first fabrication facility of LG Electronics. At the end of 1998, LG Electronics and LG Semicon transferred their respective TFT-LCD related business to LG Soft Co., Ltd (currently LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd.). LG.Philips LCD became a J/V between LG Electronics and Philips Electronics in September 1999.

 

       In July 2004, we completed initial public offering and listed our common stock on the Korea Exchange and our ADSs on the New York Stock Exchange. We currently operate seven fabrication facilities located in Gumi and Paju, Korea and four module facilities located in Gumi & Paju, Korea and Nanjing, China.

 

  - We became the first LCD maker in the world to commence commercial production at a 4th generation fab (P3) in July 2000 and at a 5th generation fab (P4) in March 2002, and we started mass production at our 6th generation fab (P6) in August 2004, which allows us to produce LCD panels for large TVs and monitors. Following mass production at our 7th generation fab (P7) in January 2006, we became a panel maker who operates both 6th and 7th generation lines, which we believe will make stepping-stone for growing LCD TV market.

 

  - As demand for LCD TV continued to grow, our non-consolidated sales revenue in 2006 increased by 14.7% year-on-year to KRW 10,201 billion. Due to the difficult business environment like imbalance between supply and demand, a steeper-than-anticipated fall in average selling price of LCD panels, a drastic appreciation of KRW, continued high oil prices, etc., we incurred a non-consolidated operating loss of KRW 945 billion and a non-consolidated net loss of KRW 769 billion in 2006. Our consolidated sales revenue in 2006 increased by 5.4% year-on-year to KRW 10,624 billion. And we incurred a consolidated operating loss of KRW 879 billion and a consolidated net loss of KRW 769 billion in 2006.

 

  - We reinforced our position as a leader in LCD technology with the world’s largest 100-inch TFT-LCD panel and the development of a super-slim panel for mobile phones.

 

  - Moreover, LPL made strategic alliances or long-term sales contracts with major global firms such as Kodak and Syntax-Brillian of the United States and Japan’s Toshiba among others to secure customers and expand partnerships for technology development.

 

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

  - LCD is a key product for the display industry and the demands for LCD have been steadily rising.

 

  - 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.

 

  - The LCD market has experienced a high rate of growth based on IT related products. With expansion of the market for LCD televisions, we expect that the LCD market will continuously grow.

 

  (5) New business etc.

 

  - We have commenced building construction of P8 at our Paju display cluster in Korea in anticipation of growth in the TFT-LCD market.

 

  - In September 2005, we entered into an agreement to build a ‘back-end” module production plant in Wroclaw, Poland, becoming the first global LCD industry player to commence such a production facility in Europe. We broke ground on the plant in June 2006 and expect to begin production during the first half of 2007.

 

  - In October 2006, we formed a strategic alliance with Toshiba Corporation whereby Toshiba would take a 19.9% equity participation in our subsidiary, a LCD module plant, in Poland currently under construction in Wroclaw, Poland and LG.Philips LCD Poland Sp. z o.o. would supply Toshiba with a quantity of LCD TV panels produced at the plant in Poland.

 

  - In May 2006, we entered into an investment agreement with the Guangzhou Development District Administrative Committee to construct a module production plant in Guangzhou, China, and in August 2006, we established LG.Philips LCD Guangzhou Co., Ltd. which plant is under construction.
