2. | Business |
A. | Business overview |
We were incorporated in February 1985 under the laws of the Republic of Korea. LG Electronics and LG Semicon transferred their respective LCD business to us in 1998, and since then, our business has been focused on the research, development, manufacture and sale of display panels, applying technologies such as TFT-LCD, LTPS-LCD and OLED.
As of June 30, 2011, we operated TFT-LCD and OLED production facilities in Paju and Gumi, Korea and a LCD research center in Paju, Korea. We have also established subsidiaries in the United States, Europe and Asia.
As of June 30, 2011, our business consisted of (i) the manufacture and sale of LCD panels, (ii) the manufacture and sale of OLED panels and (iii) the manufacture and sale of television sets and monitors that utilize our LCD panels. Because our OLED, television set and monitor businesses represent an extremely small portion of our assets and revenues, we have included them as part of our LCD reporting business segment.

B. | Industry |
(1) | Industry characteristics and growth potential |
• | TFT-LCD technology is one of the widely used technologies in the manufacture of flat panel displays, and the demand for flat panel displays is growing. The flat panel display industry is characterized by 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 intense competition among the players in the industry, and the industry’s production capacity, including ours, is continually increasing. |
• | The demand for LCD panels for notebook computers and desktop monitors has grown, to a degree, in tandem with the growth in the information technology industry. The demand for LCD panels for television sets has been growing as digital broadcasting is becoming more common and as LCD television has come to play an important role in the digital display market. In addition, markets for small- to medium-sized LCD panels, such as those used in mobile phones, P-A/V, medical applications, automobile navigation systems and e-books, among others, have shown continued growth. |
• | The average selling prices of LCD panels may continue to decline with time irrespective of general business cycles as a result of, among other factors, technology advancements and cost reductions. |
(2) | Cyclicality |
• | The TFT-LCD business is highly cyclical. In spite of the increased demand for products, this industry has experienced periodic volatility caused by imbalances between supply and demand 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 production capacity, the average selling prices of display panels may decline. Conversely, demand surges and inability of supply to meet such demand may lead to price increases. |
(3) | Market conditions |
• | The TFT-LCD industry is highly competitive due largely to additional capacity expansion driven by TFT-LCD panel makers. |
• | Most TFT-LCD panel makers are located in Asia. |
a. | Korea: LG Display, Samsung Electronics (including a joint venture between Samsung Electronics and Sony Corporation), Samsung Mobile Display, Hydis Technologies |
b. | Taiwan: AU Optronics, Chi Mei Innolux, CPT, Hannstar, etc. |
c. | Japan: Sharp, Panasonic LCD, etc. |
d. | China: SVA-NEC, BOE-OT, etc. |
(4) | Market shares |
• | Our worldwide market share for large-sized TFT-LCD panels based on revenue is as follows: |

(5) | Competitiveness |
• | Our ability to compete successfully depends on factors both within and outside our control, including product pricing, our relationship with customers, successful and timely investment and product development, cost competitiveness, success in marketing to our end-brand customers, component and raw material supply costs, foreign exchange rates and general economic and industry conditions. |
• | In order to compete effectively, it is critical to be cost competitive and maintain stable and long-term relationships with customers which will enable us to be profitable even in a buyer’s market. |
• | A substantial portion of our sales is attributable to a limited number 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 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. It is important that 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 experienced key managerial personnel and skilled line operators. |
• | As a leading technology innovator in the display industry, we continue to focus on delivering differentiated value to our customers by developing new technologies and products, including in the categories of 3D, touch screens and next generation displays. With respect to 3D technology, we have commenced mass production of high definition 3D panels with reduced degrees of “crosstalk,” or the degree of 3D image overlapping, of less than 1% (which is less than what the human eye can perceive). We have also acquired the technical skills and have established a supply chain management system that enables us to provide one-stop solutions to our customers with respect to touch module products. In addition, we have shown that we are technologically a step ahead of the competition by developing products such as 10.1-inch flexible LCDs, 2.6 mm thin televisions (the thinnest in the world at the time) and 19-inch flexible e-papers. |
• | Moreover, we entered into long-term sales contracts with major global firms, including those in the United States and Japan, to secure customers and expand partnerships for technology development. |
C. | New businesses |
• | In order to meet the rapidly increasing market demand for large TFT-LCD panels, we decided in March 2010 to further expand P8 by investing in P83, which successfully commenced mass production in March 2011. In January 2011, we also decided to invest in a new eighth generation production facility, P98. |
• | We also plan to strengthen our market position in future display technologies by strengthening our OLED business, accelerating the development of flexible display technologies and maintaining our leadership position in the LED backlight LCD market. |
• | We are making an effort to increase our competitiveness, including in the LCD component parts market, by forming cooperative relationships with suppliers and purchasers of our products. As part of this effort, in March 2005, we established a joint venture company, Paju Electric Glass Co., Ltd., with Nippon Electric Glass Co., Ltd. We invested (Won)14.4 billion in return for a 40% interest in Paju Electric Glass Co., Ltd. In November 2010 and April 2011, we invested an additional (Won)14.8 billion and (Won)4.4 billion, respectively, in Paju Electric Glass Co., Ltd. but the additional investments did not change our percentage interest in Paju Electric Glass Co., Ltd. In July 2008, we purchased 6,850,000 shares of common stock of New Optics Ltd. at a purchase price of (Won)9.7 billion, and in February 2010, we purchased an additional 1,000,000 shares of common stock of New Optics at a purchase price of (Won)2.5 billion.

In December 2009, we purchased 420,000 global depositary shares representing 420,000 shares of Prime View International Co., Ltd’s common stock at a purchase price of US$9.9 million. In January 2010, we purchased 10.8 million shares of Can Yang Investment Limited representing a 15% interest at a purchase price of US$10.8 million. In October 2010, we invested an additional US$4.5 million and acquired 4.8 million additional shares of Can Yang Investment Limited, but the additional investment did not change our percentage interest in Can Yang Investment Limited. |
• | In October 2008, we established a joint venture company, Suzhou Raken Technology Ltd., with AmTRAN Technology Co., Ltd., a Taiwan corporation. We invested US$10.4 million in return for a 51% interest in Suzhou Raken Technology Ltd. Suzhou Raken Technology Ltd. will supply both parties with TFT-LCD modules and TFT-LCD televisions.

In 2009 and 2010, we invested an additional US$58.7 million and US$14.5 million, respectively, in Suzhou Raken Technology Ltd., but the additional investments did not change our percentage interest in Suzhou Raken Technology Ltd. |
• | As part of our strategy to expand our production capacity overseas, we signed an investment agreement and a joint venture agreement in November 2009 with the City of Guangzhou, China, to build an eighth-generation panel fabrication facility in China. |
• | In December 2009, certain LG affiliates and we entered into a joint venture investment agreement and established a joint venture company, Global OLED Technology LLC, for purposes of managing the patent assets relating to OLED technology that we acquired from Eastman Kodak Company in December 2009. As of December 31, 2009, we had invested (Won)72.3 billion in return for a 49% equity interest in the joint venture company. In June 2010, we sold (Won)19.0 billion worth of our equity interest in the joint venture company. After such sale, our equity interest was reduced to 32.73%. |
• | In December 2009, we acquired a 30.6% limited partnership interest in LB Gemini New Growth Fund No. 16. Under the limited partnership agreement, we have agreed to invest a total amount of (Won)30 billion in the fund, and as of December 31, 2010, we had invested (Won)8.3 billion in the fund. By becoming a limited partner of this fund, our aim is to seek direct investment opportunities as well as to receive benefits from the investment. In February 2011, we received a distribution of (Won)1.4 billion from the fund, and in March and April 2011, we invested an additional (Won)1.9 billion and (Won)3.1 billion, respectively, in the fund. In June 2011, we received a further distribution of (Won)0.7 billion as return of principal and (Won)0.9 billion as dividends and we invested an additional (Won)1.2 billion in the fund. The additional investments did not change our investment commitment amount of (Won)30 billion or our limited partnership interest in the fund, which remained at 30.6%. |
• | In order to establish a production base for LCD modules, LCD television sets and LCD monitors, we entered into a joint investment agreement with Top Victory Investment Ltd. in January 2010 and established L&T Display Technology (Xiamen) Ltd. and L&T Display Technology (Fujian) Ltd. in Xiamen and Fujian, China, respectively.

6. | Market Risks and Risk Management |
A. | Market risks |
Our industry continues to experience continued declines in the average selling prices of display panels irrespective of cyclical fluctuations in the industry, and our margins would be adversely impacted if prices decrease faster than we are able to reduce our costs.
The TFT-LCD industry is highly competitive. We have experienced pressure on the prices and margins of our major products due largely to additional industry capacity from panel makers in Korea, Taiwan, China and Japan. Our main competitors in the industry include Samsung Electronics (including its joint venture with Sony), Samsung Mobile Display, Infovision, Hydis Technologies, AU Optronics, Chi Mei Innolux, Chunghwa Picture Tubes, HannStar, SVA-NEC, BOE-OT, Sharp, Hitachi, TMDisplay, Mitsubishi and Panasonic LCD.
Our ability to compete successfully 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. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to compete successfully with our competitors on these fronts and, as a result, we may be unable to sustain our current market position.
Our results of operations are subject to exchange rate fluctuations. To the extent that we incur costs in one currency and generate sales in a different currency, our profit margins may be affected by changes in the exchange rates between the two currencies. Our sales of display panels are denominated mainly in U.S. dollars, whereas our purchases of raw materials are denominated mainly in U.S. dollars and Japanese Yen. Our risk management policy regarding foreign currency risk is to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on our foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.
B. | Risk management |
The average selling prices of display panels have declined in general and could continue to decline with time irrespective of industry-wide cyclical fluctuations. Certain contributing factors for this decline will be beyond our ability to control and manage. However, in anticipation of such price decline we have continued to develop new technologies and have implemented various cost reduction measures. In addition, in order to manage our risk against foreign currency fluctuations, we have entered into cross-currency interest rate swap contracts and foreign currency forward contracts.
7. | Derivative Contracts |
A. | Currency risks |
• | We are exposed to currency risks on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in currencies other than in Won, our functional currency. These currencies are primarily the U.S. dollar, the Euro, the Japanese Yen and the Chinese Renminbi. |
• | We generally use forward exchange contracts with a maturity of less than one year to hedge against currency risks. |
• | Interest on borrowings is denominated in the currency of the borrowing. Generally, borrowings are denominated in currencies that match the cash flows generated by our underlying operations, primarily in Won, the U.S. dollar, the Japanese Yen and the Chinese Renminbi. |
• | In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, we ensure that our net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates, when necessary, to address short-term imbalances. In addition, we also adjust the factoring volumes of foreign currency denominated receivables and utilize usances as means of settling accounts payables relating to capital expenditures for our facilities, in response to currency fluctuations. |
B. | Interest rate risks |
Our exposure to interest rate risks relates primarily to our long term debt obligations. To the extent necessary, we hedge our interest rate risks by entering into interest swap contracts. As of June 30, 2011, we had no interest swap contracts outstanding.

10. | Customer Service |
In order to highlight the importance of creating customer value, we have formulated a roadmap toward creating customer value and have shared this information with all of our employees. Through our “Voice of Customer” campaign, we have responded to customer feedback including complaints, suggestions, praises, enquiries and requests as soon as they were made and we have made efforts to change any negative feedback made by a customer into a positive feedback through such prompt response. In addition, in order to support our customers, we have established IPS camps and have cooperated with our customers to promote IPS technology. Furthermore, we have hosted “Why LGD” campaigns in order to provide superior products and services to our customers including in the areas of technology, quality, responsiveness, delivery and cost. We also monitor customer opinion through annual customer satisfaction surveys and customer interviews, and the results of such surveys and interviews are reflected in the performance evaluation of our executive officers.
11. | Intellectual Property |
As of June 30, 2011, we held a total of 15,592 patents, including 6,927 in Korea and 8,665 in other countries.
12. | Environmental Matters |
We are subject to strict environmental regulations and we may be subject to fines or restrictions that could cause our operations to be interrupted. Our manufacturing processes generate worksite waste, including water and air pollutants, at various stages in the manufacturing process, and we are subject to a variety of laws and regulations relating to the use, storage, discharge and disposal of such chemical by-products and waste substances. We have installed various types of anti-pollution equipment, consistent with industry standards, for the treatment of chemical waste and equipment for the recycling of treated waste water at our various facilities. However, we cannot provide assurance that environmental claims will not be brought against us or that the local or national governments will not take steps toward adopting more stringent environmental standards. Any failure on our part to comply with any present or future environmental regulations could result in the assessment of damages or imposition of fines against us, suspension of production or a cessation of operations. In addition, environmental regulations could require us to acquire costly equipment or to incur other significant compliance expenses that may materially and negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations.
We have also voluntarily agreed to reduce emission of greenhouse gases, such as triflouride oxide and perfluoro compounds, or PFCs, including sulfur hexafluoride, or SF6, gases, by installing abatement systems to meet voluntary emissions targets for the TFT-LCD industry for 2010. As part of our voluntary activities to reduce emission of greenhouse gases, we installed triflouride oxide abatement systems at all of our production lines. We also installed an SF6 abatement system in P1 in April 2005, and we have taken steps to install additional SF6 abatement systems through the use of Clean Development Mechanism, or CDM, projects. On July 10, 2010, after becoming the first TFT-LCD company to receive the UNFCCC CDM Executive Board’s approval of our CDM project, we installed an SF6 abatement system in P6. In June 2011, we received 144,222 tons of certified emission reduction credits from the UN for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions during the period from August 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010. We were the first LCD company to receive such certified emission reduction credits pursuant to an SF6 decomposition CDM project. Currently, a third party accreditation agency is also examining the reduction of our greenhouse gas emissions during the period from October 1, 2010 to April 30, 2011 as part of our application for receiving certified emission reduction credits from the UN. Beginning in August 2011, we intend to install an SF6 abatement system in P7 through the implementation of CDM projects.
Currently, the Korean government is implementing the greenhouse gas emission reduction target system under the Framework Act on Low Carbon, Green Growth and is expected to assign greenhouse gas emission reduction targets to individual companies in 2011. Once such greenhouse gas emission reduction targets have been assigned, certain companies may need to invest in additional equipment and there may be other costs associated with meeting the reduction target, which may have a negative effect on such companies’ profitability or production activities. In addition, if a company fails to meet its reduction target, it may be subject to fines or penalties or may even be forced to shut down its production facilities.
In connection with the greenhouse gas emission reduction target system, we have prepared a statement of our domestic emissions and energy usage and have submitted it to the government-designated accreditation agency. In addition, in order to improve the efficiency and reliability of measuring our greenhouse gas emission reduction activities, we plan to make improvements in our electronic greenhouse gas inventory system.
In addition, as of June 30, 2011, we were party to voluntary agreements, which reflect a coordinated energy conservation initiative between government and industry, with respect to our operation of P1 through P8, the Gumi module production plant and the Paju module production plant. In accordance with such agreements, we have implemented a variety of energy-saving measures in those facilities, including installation of energy saving devices and consulting with energy conservation specialists.
Operations at our manufacturing plants are subject to regulation and periodic monitoring by the Korean Ministry of Environment and local environmental protection authorities. We believe that we have adopted adequate anti-pollution measures for the effective maintenance of environmental protection standards consistent with local industry practice, and that we are in compliance in all material respects with the applicable environmental laws and regulations in Korea. Expenditures related to such compliance may be substantial. Such expenditures are generally included in capital expenditures. As required by Korean law, we employ licensed environmental specialists for each environmental area, including air quality, water quality, toxic materials and radiation. We currently have ISO 14001 certifications with respect to the environmental record for P1 through P8, our OLED production facility in Gumi, Korea, our Gumi module production plant and our Paju module production plant, as well as our module production plants in Nanjing and Guangzhou, China. In addition, with respect to P1 through P8 and our module production plants in Gumi and Paju, we are currently participating and setting up a pilot environment management system called the green management certification system. We have been certified by the Korean Ministry of Environment as a “Green Company”, with respect to our environmental record for P1 and our module production plant in Gumi since 1997, with respect to our operations at P2 and P3 since 2006, and with respect to our operations at P4, P5 and P6 since 2008.
We also have an internal monitoring system to control the use of hazardous substances in the manufacture of our products as we are committed to compliance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations, including European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2002/95/EC, which took effect in July 2006, and restricts the use of certain hazardous substances in the manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment.
In October 2005, we became the first TFT-LCD company to receive accreditation as an International Accredited Testing Laboratory by the Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme, which is operated by the Korean Ministry of Knowledge Economy. In September 2006, we received international accreditation from TUV SUD, EU’s German accreditation agency, as a RoHS testing laboratory. Moreover, we participated in reforming IEC 62321 by 2012, a RoHS international testing standard, by including a halogen-free combustion ion chromatography method in our committee draft that we submitted in June 2010.
In addition, we have implemented a green purchasing system that prevents the use of hazardous materials from the purchasing stage. As a result of the green purchasing system, we are in compliance with RoHS and other applicable environmental laws and regulation, and we became the first TFT-LCD company to receive the Hazardous Substance Process Management QC080000 certification, or HSPM, from the International Electrotechnical Commission. HSPM is used to help companies manage their hazardous materials and be in compliance with RoHS.

Independent Auditors’ Review Report
Based on a report originally issued in Korean
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
LG Display Co., Ltd.:
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position of LG Display Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as of June 30, 2011, and the related condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for each of the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
Management’s Responsibility for the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards No. 1034,Interim Financial Reporting and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed consolidated interim financial statements based on our reviews.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the Review Standards forQuarterly/Semiannual Financial Statements of the Republic of Korea. A review consists principally of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements referred to above are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards 1034, No.Interim Financial Reporting.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in note 17 to the consolidated financial statements, the European Commission issued a decision finding that LG Display Co., Ltd. engaged in anti-competitive activities in the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) industry in violation of European competition laws and imposed a fine of EUR215 million on December 8, 2010. LG Display Co., Ltd., along with its subsidiaries, is under investigations by the Korea Fair Trade Commission and antitrust authorities in other countries with respect to possible anti-competitive activities in the LCD industry. In addition, LG Display Co., Ltd., along with its subsidiaries, has been named as defendants in a number of federal class actions in the United States and Canada and related individual lawsuits in connection with the alleged antitrust violations concerning the sale of LCD panels. The Group 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 Group.
Other Considerations
We audited the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2010 and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010, not accompanying this review report, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea, and our report thereon, dated February 24, 2011, expressed an unqualified opinion. The accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2010, presented for comparative purposes, is not different from that audited by us in all material respects.

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 condensed consolidated interim 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.

(ii) | Sensitivity analysis |
A weakening of the won, as indicated below, against the following currencies which comprise the Group’s financial assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currency as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis is based on foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Group considered to be reasonably possible at the end of each reporting period. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant. The changes in equity and profit or loss are as follows:

9. | Financial Instruments, Continued |
The derivative financial assets and liabilities are classified as Level 2 since all significant inputs to compute the fair value of the over-the-counter derivatives were observable.
In order to determine the fair value of Level 3 instruments, management used a valuation technique in which all significant inputs were based on unobservable market data. The fair values of the Level 3 instruments have been computed using discounted cash flow and option pricing model considering the financial conditions of the invested companies and by discounting estimated future cash flows from stock using yield rate that reflects invested companies’ credit risks.
Changes in Level 3 instruments are as follows:

(f) | Capital Management |
Management’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Liabilities to equity ratio, net borrowing to equity ratio and other financial ratios are used by management to achieve optimal capital structure. Management also monitors the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders. Equity, defined by K-IFRS, is identical to the definition of capital, managed by management.

The Group designated foreign currency denominated convertible bonds as financial liabilities at fair value through profits or loss and recognizes the convertible bonds at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.
The bonds will be repaid at 116.77% of the principal amount at maturity unless the bonds are converted. During the year ended December 31, 2010, put options attached to the convertible bonds amounting to USD484 million were exercised and the Group repaid USD531 million for the convertible bonds at 109.75% of the principal amount. Put options not exercised were expired.
The Group measured the convertible bonds at their fair value using the market quotes available at Bloomberg and it was assumed that the remaining convertible bonds will be repaid in full at maturity and they were reclassified as current liabilities.
The Group is entitled to exercise a call option after three years from the date of issue at the amount of the principal and interest, calculated at 3.125% of the annual yield to maturity, from the issue date to the repayment date. The call option can be exercised only when the market price of the common shares on each of 20 trading days in 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date upon which notice of such redemption is published exceeds at least 130% of the conversion price. In addition, in the event that at least 90% of the initial principal amount of the bonds has been redeemed, converted, or purchased and cancelled, the remaining bonds may also be redeemed, at the Group’s option, at the amount of the principal and interest (3.125% per annum) from the date of issue to the repayment date prior to their maturity.
Based on the terms and conditions of the bond, the conversion price was decreased from (Won)48,075 to (Won)47,892 per share due to the Controlling Company’s declaration of cash dividends of (Won)500 per share for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Patent infringement lawsuit against Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corp, and others
On December 1, 2006, the Group filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corp. and AU Optronics Corp. claiming infringement of patents related to liquid crystal displays and the manufacturing processes for TFT-LCDs. On March 8, 2007, AU Optronics Corp. filed a counter-claim against the Group in the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin for alleged infringement of patents related to the manufacturing processes for TFT-LCDs but the suit was transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware on May 30, 2007. On May 4, 2007, Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corp. filed a counter-claim against the Group for patent infringement in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, but the suit was transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Court”) on March 31, 2008.
The Court bifurcated the trial between AU Optronics Corp. and Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corp. holding the first trial against AU Optronics Corp. on June 2, 2009. Although the Group had a total of nine patents to be tried and AU Optronics Corp. had a total of seven patents to be tried in the first trial against AU Optronics Corp., the trial was further bifurcated so that only four patents from each side were tried. On February 16, 2010, the Court found that the four AU Optronics Corp. patents were valid and were infringed by the Group, and on April 30, 2010, the Court further found that the Group’s four patents were valid but were not infringed by AU Optronics Corp. In October and November 2010, the Group filed a motion for reconsideration as to the court’s findings on the AU Optronics Corp.’s patents and the Group’s patents respectively. However, the final judgment has not yet been rendered. Once all findings by the Court have been issued, the Group will review all available options including appeal. The Group is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the above matters.
Anvik Corporation’s lawsuit for infringement of patent
On February 2, 2007, Anvik Corporation filed a patent infringement case against the Group, along with other LCD manufacturing companies in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, in connection with the usage of photo-masking equipment manufactured by Nikon Corporation. While there is no significant progress on this case in 2011, the Group is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this case.

Antitrust investigations and litigations
In December 2006, the Controlling 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 Controlling Company subsequently received similar notices from the Canadian Bureau of Competition Policy, the Federal Competition Commission of Mexico, the Secretariat of Economic Law of Brazil and the Taiwan Fair Trade Commission.
In November 2008, the Controlling Company executed an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) whereby the Controlling 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 Controlling 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 Controlling Company and LGDUS in the United States in connection with this matter.
On December 8, 2010, the European Commission (“the EC”) issued a decision finding that the Controlling Company engaged in anti-competitive activities in the LCD industry in violation of European competition laws and imposed a fine of EUR215 million. On February 23, 2011, the Controlling Company filed with the European Union General Court an application for partial annulment and reduction of the fine imposed by the EC. The European Union General Court has not ruled on our application.
In November 2009, the Taiwan Fair Trade Commission terminated its investigation without any finding of violations or levying of fines. Investigations by the Canadian Bureau of Competition Policy, the Japan Fair Trade Commission, the Korea Fair Trade Commission, the Federal Competition Commission of Mexico and the Secretariat of Economic Law of Brazil are ongoing.
Subsequent to the commencement of the DOJ investigation, a number of class action complaints were filed against the Controlling Company and other TFT-LCD panel manufacturers in the U.S. and Canada alleging violation of respective antitrust laws and related laws. The class action lawsuits in the U.S. were transferred to the Northern District of California for pretrial proceedings (“MDL Proceedings”). On March 28, 2010, the court certified the class action complaints filed by direct purchasers and indirect purchasers. In January 2011, 78 entities (including groups of affiliated entities) submitted requests for exclusion from the direct purchaser class. The time period for submitting requests for exclusion from the indirect purchaser class has not yet begun. In June 2011, the Controlling Company reached a settlement with the direct purchaser class, which is subject to and pending court approval. Trial against the indirect purchaser plaintiff class is set to begin in February 2012.

In addition, in 2010 and 2011, the attorneys general of Arkansas, California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New York, Oregon, South Carolina, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin filed similar complaints against the Controlling Company and other LCD producers.
In Canada, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice certified the class action complaints filed by the direct and indirect purchasers.
In February 2007, the Controlling Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors were named as defendants in a purported shareholder class action filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging violation of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In May 2010, the Controlling Company reached an agreement in principle with the class plaintiffs to settle the action and the District Court granted final approval of the settlement on March 17, 2011.
While the Group 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 Group.

Exercise period | From April 8, 2008 to April 7, 2012 | |
Remaining contractual life | 0.75 years | |
Vesting conditions | Two years of service from the date of grant |
(*1) | The exercise price at the grant date was (Won)44,260 per stock appreciation right (“SARs”). However, the exercise price was subsequently adjusted to (Won)44,050 due to additional issuance of common shares in 2005. |
(*2) | SARs were forfeited in connection with senior executives who left the Group before meeting the vesting requirement. |
(*3) | If the appreciation of the Controlling Company’s share price is equal or less than that of the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (“KOSPI”) over the three-year period following the grant date, only 50% of the outstanding SARs are exercisable. As the actual increase rate of the Controlling Company’s share price for the three-year period ending April 7, 2008 was less than that of the KOSPI for the same three-year period, 50% (110,000 shares) of then outstanding SARs were cancelled in 2008. |
(b) | The changes in the number of SARs outstanding for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 are as follows: |
(Number of shares) | ||||
2011 | ||||
Balance at beginning of year | 110,000 | |||

Expected dividends (*3) | 0% | 0% | ||
Fair value per share | (Won)467 | (Won)4,296 | ||
Total carrying amount of liabilities (*4) | (Won)51,353,794 | (Won)472,527,182 |
(*1) | Risk-free rates are interest rates of Korean government bonds. |
(*2) | As of June 30, 2011, the remaining contractual life is 9 months and the expected term is determined as 0.75 year. |
(*3) | The Controlling Company did not pay any dividends from 2000 through 2006 and accordingly, expected dividend used is 0% despite recent dividend yield was 1.6%, 2.2%, 1.3% and 1.3% in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. |
(*4) | As of June 30, 2011, the market price of the stock does not exceed the exercise price and accordingly, the intrinsic value of the share-based payments is zero. |

Independent Auditors’ Review Report
Based on a report originally issued in Korean
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
LG Display Co., Ltd.:
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed separate statement of financial position of LG Display Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2011, and the related condensed separate statements of comprehensive income for each of the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
Management’s Responsibility for the Condensed Interim Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these condensed separate interim financial statements in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards No. 1034,Interim Financial Reportingand for such internal controls as management determines are necessary to enable the preparation of condensed separate interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed separate interim financial statements based on our reviews.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the Review Standards for Quarterly/Semiannual Financial Statements of the Republic of Korea. A review consists principally of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion
Conclusion
Based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed separate interim financial statements referred to above are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards No. 1034,Interim Financial Reporting.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in note 17 to the financial statements, the European Commission issued a decision finding that LG Display Co., Ltd. engaged in anti-competitive activities in the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) industry in violation of European competition laws and imposed a fine of EUR215 million on December 8, 2010. LG Display Co., Ltd., along with its subsidiaries, is under investigations by the Korea Fair Trade Commission and antitrust authorities in other countries with respect to possible anti-competitive activities in the LCD industry. In addition, LG Display Co., Ltd., along with its subsidiaries, has been named as defendants in a number of federal class actions in the United States and Canada and related individual lawsuits in connection with the alleged antitrust violations concerning the sale of LCD panels. 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.
Other Considerations
We audited the separate statement of financial position as of December 31, 2010, and the separate statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010, not accompanying this review report, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea, and our report thereon, dated February 24, 2011, expressed an unqualified opinion. The accompanying separate statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2010, presented for comparative purposes, is not different from that audited by us in all material respects.

This report is effective as of August 8, 2011, the review report date.

(ii) | Interest rates used for determining fair value |
The significant interest rates applied for determination of the above fair value as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are as follows:
2011 | 2010 | |||||||
Derivatives | 3.91 | % | 3.31 | % | ||||
Debts and bonds | 3.91 | % | 3.58 | % |
(iii) | Fair value hierarchy |
The table below analyzes financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows:
• Level 1: | quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities | |
• Level 2: | inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly | |
• Level 3: | inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data |

The derivative financial assets and liabilities are classified as Level 2 since all significant inputs to compute the fair value of the over-the-counter derivatives were observable.
9. | Financial Instruments, Continued |
In order to determine the fair value of Level 3 instruments, management used a valuation technique in which all significant inputs were based on unobservable market data. The fair values of the Level 3 instruments have been computed using discounted cash flow and option pricing model considering the financial conditions of the invested companies and by discounting estimated future cash flows from stock using yield rate that reflects invested companies’ credit risks.
Changes in Level 3 instruments are as follows:

(f) | Capital Management |
Management’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Liabilities to equity ratio, net borrowing to equity ratio and other financial ratios are used by management to achieve optimal capital structure. Management also monitors the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders. Equity, defined by K-IFRS, is identical to the definition of capital, managed by management.

The Company designated foreign currency denominated convertible bonds as financial liabilities at fair value through profits or loss and recognizes the convertible bonds at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.
The bonds will be repaid at 116.77% of the principal amount at maturity unless the bonds are converted. During the year ended December 31, 2010, put options attached to the convertible bonds amounting to USD484 million were exercised and the Company repaid USD531 million for the convertible bonds at 109.75% of the principal amount. Put options not exercised were expired.
The Company measured the convertible bonds at their fair value using the market quotes available at Bloomberg and it was assumed that the remaining convertible bonds will be repaid in full at maturity and they were reclassified as current liabilities.
The Company is entitled to exercise a call option after three years from the date of issue at the amount of the principal and interest, calculated at 3.125% of the annual yield to maturity, from the issue date to the repayment date. The call option can be exercised only when the market price of the common shares on each of 20 trading days in 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date upon which notice of such redemption is published exceeds at least 130% of the conversion price. In addition, in the event that at least 90% of the initial principal amount of the bonds has been redeemed, converted, or purchased and cancelled, the remaining bonds may also be redeemed, at the Company’s option, at the amount of the principal and interest (3.125% per annum) from the date of issue to the repayment date prior to their maturity.
Based on the terms and conditions of the bond, the conversion price was decreased from (Won)48,075 to (Won)47,892 per share due to the Company’s declaration of cash dividends of (Won)500 per share for the year ended December 31, 2010.
As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the number of common shares to be issued if the outstanding convertible bonds are fully converted is as follows:

Patent infringement lawsuit against Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corp. and others
On December 1, 2006, the Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corp. and AU Optronics Corp. claiming infringement of patents related to liquid crystal displays and the manufacturing processes for TFT-LCDs. On March 8, 2007, AU Optronics Corp. filed a counter-claim against the Company in the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin for alleged infringement of patents related to the manufacturing processes for TFT-LCDs but the suit was transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware on May 30, 2007. On May 4, 2007, Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corp. filed a counter-claim against the Company for patent infringement in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, but the suit was transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Court”) on March 31, 2008.
The Court bifurcated the trial between AU Optronics Corp. and Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corp. holding the first trial against AU Optronics Corp. on June 2, 2009. Although the Company had a total of nine patents to be tried and AU Optronics Corp. had a total of seven patents to be tried in the first trial against AU Optronics Corp., the trial was further bifurcated so that only four patents from each side were tried. On February 16, 2010, the Court found that the four AU Optronics Corp. patents were valid and were infringed by the Company, and on April 30, 2010, the Court further found that the Company’s four patents were valid but were not infringed by AU Optronics Corp. In October and November 2010, the Company filed a motion for reconsideration as to the court’s findings on the AU Optronics Corp.’s patents and the Company’s patents respectively. However, the final judgment has not yet been rendered. Once all findings by the Court have been issued, the Company will review all available options including appeal. The Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the above matters.
Anvik Corporation’s lawsuit for infringement of patent
On February 2, 2007, Anvik Corporation filed a patent infringement case against the Company, along with other LCD manufacturing companies in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, in connection with the usage of photo-masking equipment manufactured by Nikon Corporation. While there is no significant progress on this case in 2010, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this case.

Anti-trust investigations and litigations
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 Bureau of Competition Policy, the Federal Competition Commission of Mexico, the Secretariat of Economic Law of Brazil 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 and LGDUS in the United States in connection with this matter.
On December 8, 2010, the European Commission (“the EC”) issued a decision finding that the Company engaged in anti-competitive activities in the LCD industry in violation of European competition laws and imposed a fine of EUR215 million. On February 23, 2011, the Company filed with the European Union General Court an application for partial annulment and reduction of the fine imposed by the EC. The European Union General Court has not ruled on our application.
In November 2009, the Taiwan Fair Trade Commission terminated its investigation without any finding of violations or levying of fines. Investigations by the Canadian Bureau of Competition Policy, the Japan Fair Trade Commission, the Korea Fair Trade Commission, the Federal Competition Commission of Mexico and the Secretariat of Economic Law of Brazil are ongoing.
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. The class action lawsuits in the U.S. were transferred to the Northern District of California for pretrial proceedings (“MDL Proceedings”). On March 28, 2010, the court certified the class action complaints filed by direct purchasers and indirect purchasers. In January 2011, 78 entities (including groups of affiliated entities) submitted requests for exclusion from the direct purchaser class. The time period for submitting requests for exclusion from the indirect purchaser class has not yet begun. In June 2011, the Company reached a settlement with the direct purchaser class, which is subject to and pending court approval. Trial against the indirect purchaser plaintiff class is set to begin in February 2012.

In addition, in 2010 and 2011, the attorneys general of Arkansas, California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New York, Oregon, South Carolina, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin filed similar complaints against the Company and other LCD producers.
In Canada, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice certified the class action complaints filed by the direct and indirect purchasers.
In February 2007, the Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors were named as defendants in a purported shareholder class action filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging violation of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In May 2010, the Company reached an agreement in principle with the class plaintiffs to settle the action and the District Court granted final approval of the settlement on March 17, 2011.
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.

Vesting conditions | Two years of service from the date of grant |
(*1) | The exercise price at the grant date was (Won)44,260 per stock appreciation right (“SARs”). However, the exercise price was subsequently adjusted to (Won)44,050 due to additional issuance of common shares in 2005. |
(*2) | SARs were forfeited in connection with senior executives who left the Company before meeting the vesting requirement. |
(*3) | If the appreciation of the Company’s share price is equal or less than that of the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (“KOSPI”) over the three-year period following the grant date, only 50% of the outstanding SARs are exercisable. As the actual increase rate of the Company’s share price for the three-year period ending April 7, 2008 was less than that of the KOSPI for the same three-year period, 50% of then outstanding SARs were cancelled in 2008. |
(b) | The changes in the number of SARs outstanding for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 are as follows: |
(Number of shares) | ||||

Fair value per share | (Won)467 | (Won)4,296 | ||
Total carrying amount of liabilities (*4) | (Won)51,353,794 | (Won)472,527,182 |
(*1) | Risk-free rates are interest rates of Korean government bonds. |
(*2) | As of June 30, 2011, the remaining contractual life is 9 months and the expected term is determined as 0.75 year. |
(*3) | The Company did not pay any dividends from 2000 through 2006 and accordingly, expected dividend used is 0% despite recent dividend yield was 1.6%, 2.2%, 1.3% and 1.3% in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. |
(*4) | As of June 30, 2011, the market price of the stock does not exceed the exercise price and accordingly, the intrinsic value of the share-based payments is zero. |
