However, the Company reserves the right to update its full business outlook, or any portion thereof, at any time and for any reason. Our continuous focus on value based management through rational production, prudent CAPEX spending, cost reduction activities and ongoing product innovation, added by strong demand worldwide for flat-screen panels, allowed an earlier than expected turnaround in the first half of 2007 and better than anticipated results throughout 2007.

This excerpt taken from the LPL 6-K filed Oct 10, 2006. Outlook The following expectations are based on current information as of October 10, 2006. The Company does not expect to update its expectations until next quarters earnings announcement. However, the Company may update its full business outlook, or any portion thereof, at any time for any reason. For the fourth quarter of 2006, we anticipate continued growth and an increase in area shipments by a mid-twenties percentage quarter-on-quarter, commented Mr. Wirahadiraksa. We expect our average selling price per square meter at the end of the fourth quarter of 2006 to decline by a low single digit percentage, largely due to the continued decline in TV prices. The average ASP per square meter is expected to be flat. Our COGS reduction per square meter will be approximately a mid-single digit percentage in the fourth quarter. Our EBITDA margin for the fourth quarter of 2006 is expected to be a low-teens percentage as a result. We are working on plans to achieve a significantly higher cost down for 2007, in order to better prepare for the anticipated price declines. Our CAPEX guidance for 2006 remains unchanged at KRW 3 trillion. In line with us continuing to take a more prudent approach to capital spending and in anticipation of a difficult first half in 2007, we expect our CAPEX for 2007 to be approximately KRW 1 trillion, substantially lower than that of 2006. This CAPEX will be used for the investment in Gen. 5.5, enhancement of production efficiencies and maintenance of our existing facilities. This excerpt taken from the LPL 6-K filed Jul 11, 2006. Outlook The following expectations are based on current information as of July 11, 2006. The Company does not expect to update its expectations until next quarters earnings announcement. However, the Company may update its full business outlook, or any portion thereof, at any time for any reason. Looking ahead, we expect to see prices begin to stabilize, and anticipate sustained growth in consumer demand for LCD TVs, in the second half of 2006, particularly in the fourth quarter. For the third quarter of 2006, we expect our area shipments to increase quarter-on-quarter by a mid-to-high twenties percentage, driven by continued growth in the expanding LCD TV segment, continued ramp up at our P7 facility, and the stabilization of pricing, said Mr. Wirahadiraksa. We expect our average selling price per square meter of net display area shipped at the end of the third quarter of 2006 to be relatively flat, as compared to the end of the second quarter of 2006, largely due to increased seasonal demand leading into the holiday season. We expect the average ASP per square meter in the third quarter to decrease by a mid-single digit percentage. Our EBITDA margin for the third quarter is anticipated to be in the low teens range. Mr. Wirahadiraksa continued, We have made a decision to postpone investment in existing fabs and, as a result, have revised our capital expenditure guidance downward from KRW 4.2 trillion to KRW 3.0 trillion for 2006. This excerpt taken from the LPL 6-K filed Apr 11, 2006. Outlook The following expectations are based on current information as of April 11, 2006. The Company does not expect to update its expectations until next quarters earnings announcement. However, the Company may update its full business outlook, or any portion thereof, at any time for any reason. For the second quarter of 2006, we anticipate that our area shipments will increase quarter-on-quarter by a mid-to-high twenties percentage, driven by continued growth in the expanding LCD TV segment and progress at our P7 facility, said Mr. Wirahadiraksa. We expect our average selling price per square meter of net display area shipped at the end of the second quarter of 2006 to decrease by a mid-to-high single digit percentage, as compared to the end of the first quarter of 2006, largely due to continued weakness in monitor and notebook pricing. Our EBITDA margin for the second quarter is expected to be approximately 20%. Our capital expenditure guidance for 2006 remains unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2005 and is KRW 4.2 trillion, concluded Mr. Wirahadiraksa. This excerpt taken from the LPL 6-K filed Jan 12, 2006. Outlook
The following expectations are based on current information as of January 12, 2006. The Company does not expect to update its expectations until next quarters earnings release. However, the Company may update its full business outlook, or any portion thereof, at any time for any reason.
We are looking forward to 2006, as the recent start of mass production of our P7 facility, which is optimized for large and wide 42 and 47 LCD TV panels, reinforces our already strong position in the TFT-LCD industry, Mr. Wirahadiraksa commented. We also see an exciting growth opportunity for LG.Philips LCD in notebooks, particularly for the large and wide product segments. We have a leadership position in this segment and expect to maintain and grow this lead in the future.
For the first quarter of 2006, which is usually seasonally weak, we anticipate our area shipments will increase by a mid-single digit percentage quarter-on-quarter fueled by continued growth in the rapidly expanding LCD TV segment, continued Mr. Wirahadiraksa. We expect our average selling price per square meter of net display area shipped at the end of the first quarter of 2006 to decrease by a mid-single digit percentage, as compared to the end of the fourth quarter of 2005, largely due to weaker pricing for the monitor and notebook segments. Our EBITDA margin for the first quarter is expected to be a high teens percentage. Overall, we anticipate growth in sales and EBITDA for the year. However, we also expect an increase in depreciation costs primarily due to P7, which will impact our EBIT and net income.
Our capital expenditure guidance for 2006 is KRW 4.2 trillion, which will be used mainly for ongoing investment in P7 and future production facilities. As part of these future production facilities, our Board of Directors has today approved KRW 453 billion, to be utilized for the construction of a clean room and utilities for P8, concluded Mr. Wirahadiraksa.

The following expectations are based on current information as of January 24, 2005. The Company does not expect to update its expectations until next quarters earnings release. However, the Company may update its full business outlook, or any portion thereof, at any time for any reason.
According to DisplaySearch, the TFT-LCD industry should experience both unit and area growth in 2005. LG.Philips LCD plans to increase its output to meet this anticipated growth and to meet its customers needs.
We expect the industry supply/demand balance will begin to stabilize in the second quarter and then show signs of strengthening later in the year, commented Mr. Wirahadiraksa. For the first quarter of 2005, we see our area shipments increasing approximately 9% quarter-on-quarter. We expect a high single digit rate decline on the ASP per net display area shipped at the end of the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the end of the fourth quarter of 2004. As a result, we expect our EBITDA margin rate in the first quarter of 2005 to be in the range of the mid-teens.
