This excerpt taken from the LPL 6-K filed Oct 10, 2006. Third Quarter Financial Review Revenue and Cost Revenue in the three-month period ended September 30, 2006, increased by 1% to KRW 2,773 billion (USD 2,931 million) from KRW 2,741 billion (USD 2,897 million) in the corresponding period of 2005. TFT-LCD panels for TVs, desktop monitors, notebook computers and other applications accounted for 48%, 26%, 21% and 5%, respectively, on a revenue basis in the third quarter of 2006, the same level as the second quarter. Overall, the Company shipped a total of 2 million square meters of net display area in the third quarter of 2006, a 34% increase quarter-on-quarter, with an average selling price per square meter of USD 1,430. This represents a decrease in the average selling price per square meter of net display area of approximately 3% compared to the end of the second quarter of 2006 and an average decrease of 11% from the second quarter of 2006. The total cost of goods sold increased 19% quarter-on-quarter to KRW 3,019 billion (USD 3,190 million), and increased 28% year-on-year, primarily as a result of increased shipments. The cost of goods sold per square meter of net display area shipped was KRW 1.5 million (USD 1,585) for the third quarter of 2006, down 11% from the second quarter of 2006. We saw good progress this quarter with a 12% decline in COGS per square meter in USD, although this was not enough to offset the LCD TV price decline. In addition, our decision last quarter to temporize production, along with an increase in shipments, led to a reduction in inventory turnover levels from four weeks at the end of the second quarter, to over two weeks at the end of the third quarter for large panels, said Ron Wirahadiraksa, CFO of LG.Philips LCD. We are now at a crucial inflection point. Without additional measures relating to product mix, cost, and productivity, we will not be able to deliver value to our shareholders. In the coming months, LG.Philips LCD will take the required actions in these areas to better respond to a new reality on pricing, demand and competitive pressures. We are confident that we have at least taken the right first steps - maintaining healthier inventory levels, reducing costs at an expedited rate in Q3, and aligning ourselves in a more substantial way with our customers and management remains committed to do what is necessary to generate acceptable returns.

Utilization and Capacity Total input capacity on an area basis increased approximately 10% in the third quarter compared to the second quarter of 2006, mainly due to the further ramp up of P7, which has reached an average of 52,000 input sheets per month. This excerpt taken from the LPL 6-K filed Jul 11, 2006. Second Quarter Financial Review Revenue and Cost Revenue in the three-month period ended June 30, 2006, increased by 0.3% to KRW 2,315 billion (USD 2,441 million) from KRW 2,308 billion (USD 2,433 million) in the corresponding period of 2005.

Overall, the Company shipped a total of 1.5 million square meters of net display area in the second quarter of 2006, a 17% increase quarter-on-quarter, with an average selling price per square meter of USD 1,598. This represents a decrease in the average selling price per square meter of net display area of approximately 19% compared to the end of the first quarter of 2006 and an average decrease of 18% from the first quarter of 2006. The total cost of goods sold increased 10% quarter-on-quarter to KRW 2,529 billion (USD 2,666 million), and increased 17% year-on-year, primarily as a result of increased shipments. The cost of goods sold per square meter of net display area shipped was KRW 1,703,000 (USD 1,795) for the second quarter of 2006, down 5% from the first quarter of 2006. We are disappointed with our financial performance in the second quarter of 2006. As a result, the Company is now taking initiatives to address the issues that are affecting our business. As we announced in June, we are addressing an increase in inventory levels during a period of overcapacity, primarily in the LCD TV segment, by temporizing production. We will continue to control inventory levels going forward, said Ron Wirahadiraksa, President and CFO of LG.Philips LCD. Mr. Wirahadiraksa continued, We believe that the temporization of production, along with other efforts, will enable us to maintain our competitiveness as a top-tier player in an industry that is starting to take a more rational approach to capacity and has undiminished long-term growth prospects. While some of the measures are immediate, we generally expect they will strengthen our shareholders longterm value and will enable us to leverage the industrys strong growth opportunities as we closely examine all areas of our manufacturing, capital expenditures, customer relations and expense management. We are confident that LG.Philips LCDs business results and prospects will improve over the course of 2006. Liquidity As of June 30, 2006, LG.Philips LCD had KRW 779 billion (USD 821 million) of cash and cash equivalents.

Utilization and Capacity Total input capacity on an area basis increased approximately 9% in the second quarter compared to the first quarter of 2006, mainly due to the ramp up of P7, which has reached an average of 34,000 input sheets per month. This excerpt taken from the LPL 6-K filed Apr 11, 2006. First Quarter Financial Review Revenue and Cost Revenue in the three-month period ended March 31, 2006 increased by 20% to KRW 2,471 billion (USD 2,544 million) from KRW 2,064 billion (USD 2,125 million) in the corresponding period in 2005, mainly due to increased demand for LCD TVs. TFT-LCD panels for TVs, desktop monitors, notebook computers and other applications accounted for 45%, 30%, 20% and 5%, respectively, on a revenue basis, in the first quarter of 2006, compared to 34%, 38%, 24% and 4%, respectively, on a revenue basis, in the fourth quarter of 2005. Overall, the Company shipped a total of 1,274,000 square meters of net display area in the first quarter of 2006, a 5% sequential quarterly decrease, with an average selling price per square meter of USD 1,953. This represents a decrease in the average selling price per square meter of net display area of approximately 10% compared to the end of the fourth quarter of 2005 and an average decrease of 8% from the fourth quarter of 2005. The total cost of goods sold decreased 7% quarter-on-quarter to KRW 2,294 billion (USD 2,362 million), and increased 9% year-on-year. The sequential decrease is primarily due to lower shipments and better than expected cost reduction at the Companys facilities. The cost of goods sold per square meter of net display area shipped was KRW 1,800,000 (USD 1,853) for the first quarter of 2006, down 2% from the fourth quarter of 2005. We continue to focus on profitability. Our EBITDA margin was better than expected, boosted by the operational efficiencies from the launch of P7, said Ron Wirahadiraksa, President and CFO of LG.Philips LCD. We believe that our launch of P7 earlier in the year was well timed to take advantage of the growing LCD TV market, particularly in light of the seasonal weakness in notebook and monitor panels. Mr. Wirahadiraksa continued, An important element in our strategy to drive growth is our commitment to cost reduction, which includes process innovation and raw material cost reduction efforts. Liquidity As of March 31, 2006, LG.Philips LCD had KRW 1,060 billion (USD 1,091 million) of cash and cash equivalents.

Revenue and Cost
Revenue in the three-month period ended December 31, 2005 increased by 53% to KRW 2,963 billion (USD 2,934 million) from KRW 1,933 billion (USD 1,914 million) in the corresponding period in 2004, due to continued growth in TV and notebook sales. TFT-LCD panels for desktop monitors, TVs, notebook computers and other applications accounted for 38%, 34%, 24% and 4%, respectively, on a revenue basis in the fourth quarter of 2005, compared to 45%, 29%, 22% and 4%, respectively, on a revenue basis in the third quarter of 2005.
Overall, the Company shipped a total of 1,343,000 square meters of net display area in the fourth quarter of 2005, a 7.6% sequential quarterly increase, with an average selling price per square meter of net display area of USD 2,112. This represents a decrease in the average selling price per square meter of net display area of approximately 0.5% compared to the average of the third quarter of 2005, and a decrease of 4.1% at the end of the fourth quarter as compared to the end of the third quarter of 2005.

The cost of goods sold per square meter of net display area shipped was KRW 1,830,000 (USD 1,812) for the fourth quarter of 2005, down 3.5% from the third quarter of 2005.
Our financial performance in the fourth quarter reflects the consistent approach we have taken to managing our business, said Ron Wirahadiraksa, President and CFO of LG.Philips LCD. We continue to enjoy unit and area demand growth, especially in the LCD TV and notebook panel segments, and are leveraging our extensive portfolio of production facilities to meet the dynamic needs of our customers. We are committed to providing the market with innovative and top quality TFT-LCD panels. Our shipment growth this quarter was slightly lower than expected due to a production shift in our existing facilities to support our strategy of growing the demand of large size TVs, particularly 42 panels, in advance of the P7 ramp-up. This facilitated our sooner than expected P7 ramp up in the first week of January 2006. We anticipate sequential shipment growth in the first quarter of 2006, despite historical industry seasonality.
Mr. Wirahadiraksa continued Throughout the year, we have continued to advance our technology leadership, improve operational efficiency and execute on our growth strategy. As a result, LG.Philips LCDs balance sheet remains one of the strongest in the industry and provides us with the financial flexibility to fund the opportunities we see for future growth.

As of September 30, 2005, LG.Philips LCD had KRW 2,129 billion (USD 2,042 million) of cash and cash equivalents. Total debt was KRW 3,618 billion (USD 3,471 million), and the net-debt-to-equity ratio was 20% as of September 30, 2005, compared to 40% last quarter, in large part due to the USD 1.4 billion follow-on equity offering in July 2005.
Capital Spending
Capital expenditures in the third quarter of 2005 decreased to KRW 1,380 billion (USD 1,324 million) from KRW 1,434 billion (USD 1,376 million) in the third quarter of 2004. Our capital expenditures for the third quarter of 2005 were mainly used for continued investment in P6 and P7.
Utilization and Capacity
Total input capacity on an area basis increased approximately 17% in the third quarter compared to the second quarter, due mainly to P6 achieving its initial design capacity of 90,000 input sheets per month. The Company intends to expand this capacity further over time.

Revenue and Cost
Revenues in the three-month period ended June 30, 2005 decreased by 1.0% to KRW 2,308 billion (USD 2,231 million) from KRW 2,332 billion (USD 2,254 million) in the corresponding period in 2004, as increases in shipments mostly offset the effect of decreases in panel prices. TFT-LCD panels for desktop monitors, notebook computers, TVs and other applications accounted for 53%, 18%, 24% and 5%, respectively, on a revenue basis in the second quarter of 2005, compared to 56%, 18%, 22% and 4%, respectively, on a revenue basis in the first quarter of 2005.
Overall, LG.Philips LCD shipped a total of 1,096,000 square meters of net display area in the second quarter of 2005, a 14% sequential quarterly increase, with an average selling price per square meter of net display area of USD 2,062. This represents a decline in the average selling price per square meter of net display area of approximately 1.1% compared to the average of the first quarter of 2005 and an increase of 1.6% at the end of the second quarter as compared to the end of the first quarter of 2005.
Total cost of goods sold increased to KRW 2,169 billion (USD 2,097 million), or 46% year-on-year and 3% compared to the first quarter of 2005, primarily as a result of increased shipments. The cost of goods sold per square meter of net display area shipped was KRW 1,980 thousand (USD 1,913) for the second quarter of 2005, down 9.8% from the first quarter of 2005.
In the second quarter we experienced increased demand for monitor and LCD TV panels, said Ron Wirahadiraksa, President and Chief Financial Officer of LG.Philips LCD. In anticipation of this demand, we continued the successful ramp-up of our P6 facility. TV panel shipments have benefited from LCD TV sets approaching more attractive sweet spot prices. We have already taken a leading position in this segment and we expect to further strengthen our market position in the second half of 2005 as demand grows. As our P6 facility approaches its design capacity in Q3, we also expect further progress on our cost down efforts, especially for large and wide panels.

Revenue and Cost
Revenues decreased by 6% to KRW 2,064 billion (USD 2,033 million) in the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, from KRW 2,188 billion (USD 2,155 million) in the corresponding period of 2004 due to decreases in panel prices and the strong appreciation of the Korean Won. The effect of the overall decrease in panel prices was partially offset by an increase in the volume of large and wide panels for notebook computers, desktop monitors and TVs. The increase in volume shipments was in response to the growing market needs for large and wide flat panels, especially for large size TV panels. TFT-LCD panels for desktop monitors, notebook computers, TVs and applications accounted for 56%, 18%, 22% and 4% respectively on a revenue basis in the first quarter of 2005, compared to 53%, 27%, 15% and 5% respectively on a revenue basis in the fourth quarter of 2004.

This represents a decline in the selling price per square meter of net display area of approximately 10% compared to the average of the fourth quarter of 2004, and a decline of 9% at the end of the first quarter as compared to the end of the fourth quarter of 2004.
The cost of goods sold per square meter of net display area shipped was KRW 2,177 thousand (USD 2,144) for the first quarter of 2005, down 2.3% from the fourth quarter of 2004. Total cost of goods sold increased to KRW 2,102 billion (USD 2,070 million), or 48% year-on-year and 14% compared to the fourth quarter of 2004, as a result of increased volumes shipped as well as an increase in large and wide panels, especially in the TV segment.
While the first quarter was challenging due to the strengthening of the Korean Won and a difficult pricing environment, we did see some positive emerging trends, said Ron Wirahadiraksa, Chief Financial Officer of LG.Philips LCD. During this quarter, the average LCD size increased with the adoption of large and wide LCD monitors and the growing popularity of LCD TVs. To meet the increase in demand, we continue to focus on effectively using our resources to serve our customers and improve operational efficiency.

As we announced in December 2004, price declines in the fourth quarter were greater than we anticipated earlier in that period, said Ron Wirahadiraksa, President and Chief Financial Officer of LG.Philips LCD. Yet, despite these conditions, LG.Philips LCD continued to execute well on its plan to sustain market leadership, manufacturing efficiencies and sound financial management.
Mr. Wirahadiraksa continued, Our strength and commitment to state-of-the-art manufacturing resulted in an impressive 38% increase in area shipped for the quarter, while at the same time, we were able to reduce our costs of goods sold. In 2005, we believe there will be strong growth in consumer demand for flat screen TVs, and our focus remains the same: superior execution, prudent cost-cutting measures and investing in our business to further improve our competitive position and long-term growth prospects.
