QUARTERLY REPORT
(From January 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008)
THIS IS A TRANSLATION OF THE QUARTERLY REPORT ORIGINALLY PREPARED IN KOREAN AND IS IN SUCH FORM AS REQUIRED BY THE KOREAN FINANCIAL SUPERVISORY COMMISSION.
IN THE TRANSLATION PROCESS, SOME PARTS OF THE REPORT WERE REFORMATTED, REARRANGED OR SUMMARIZED FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF READERS.
UNLESS EXPRESSLY STATED OTHERWISE, ALL INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS PRESENTED ON A NON-CONSOLIDATED BASIS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN KOREA, OR KOREAN GAAP, WHICH DIFFER IN CERTAIN RESPECTS FROM GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES IN CERTAIN OTHER COUNTRIES, INCLUDING THE UNITED STATES. WE HAVE MADE NO ATTEMPT TO IDENTIFY OR QUANTIFY THE IMPACT OF THESE DIFFERENCES IN THIS DOCUMENT.
(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. 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 strong competition between a relatively small number of players within the industry and production capacity in the industry, including ours, is being continually increased. |
| The demand for LCD panels for notebook computers & monitors has been closely related to the IT industry cycle. The demand for LCD panels for TVs has been growing as HDTV broadcasting is becoming more common and as LCD TV has come to play an important role in the digital display market. There is competition between TFT-LCD and PDP technologies in the area of large flat TV products. In addition, markets for small- to medium-sized LCD panels, such as mobile phones, P-A/V, medical applications and automobile navigation systems, among others, are growing steadily. |
| 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 advances and cost reductions. |
(2) Cyclicality
| The TFT-LCD business is highly cyclical as well as being capital-intensive. 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 depends on factors both within and outside our control, including product pricing, our relationship with our customers, 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, foreign exchange rate 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 buyers 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 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 experienced key managerial personnel and highly skilled line operators. |
(4) Sourcing material
| Key materials (including color filters) are sourced in-house as well as from domestic and overseas vendors. |
| A shortage of raw materials may arise temporarily due to an increase in demand for raw materials resulting from capacity expansion in the TFT-LCD industry. |
| A substantial portion of our equipment is sourced 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 Display, Samsung Electronics (including a joint venture between Samsung Electronics and Sony Corporation), BOE-Hydis
b. Taiwan: AU Optronics, Chi Mei Optoelectronics, CPT, etc.
c. Japan: Sharp, IPS-Alpha, etc.
d. China: SVA-NEC, BOE-OT, etc.
(1) Business overview
| Commercial production for 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 businesses to LG Soft Co., Ltd (currently LG Display). It became a joint venture between LG Electronics and Philips Electronics in August 1999. In July 2004, we completed our initial public offering and listed our common stock on the Korea Exchange and our ADSs on the New York Stock Exchange. As |
of September 30, 2008, we operate seven fabrication facilities located in Gumi and Paju, Korea, and a total of seven module facilities located in Gumi and Paju, Korea, Nanjing (3 factories) and Guangzhou, China, and Wroclaw, Poland. |
| 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. With the commencement of mass production at our 7th generation fab (P7) in January 2006 and with our decision to invest in an 8th generation fab (P8) in October 2007, we are expanding our production capacity in line with the growing large-sized LCD TV market. In addition, in July 2008, we decided to increase our TFT-LCD production capacity in Gumi to prepare for the growth of the TFT-LCD market. |
| Our non-consolidated sales decreased by approximately 2% from KRW 3,975 billion in the third quarter of 2007 to KRW 3,891 billion in the third quarter of 2008. Our non-consolidated operating income decreased by approximately 73% from KRW 709 billion in the third quarter of 2007 to KRW 190 billion in the third quarter of 2008. Our non-consolidated net income decreased by approximately 44% from KRW 524 billion in the third quarter of 2007 to KRW 291 billion in the third quarter of 2008. (Our consolidated sales under Korean GAAP decreased by approximately 2% from KRW 3,953 billion in the third quarter of 2007 to KRW 3,861 billion in the third quarter of 2008. Our consolidated operating income under Korean GAAP decreased by approximately 63% from KRW 693 billion in the third quarter of 2007 to KRW 254 billion in the third quarter of 2008. Our consolidated net income decreased by approximately 44% from KRW 524 billion in the third quarter of 2007 to KRW 295 billion in the third quarter of 2008.) |
| We reinforced our position as a leader in LCD technology by developing public displays such as the worlds largest 52-inch multi-touch screen panel and a 47-inch triple-view panel as well as the worlds largest 6-inch oval LCD panel, a 17.1-inch switchable 3D display which function allows for a 2D/3D conversion with ease, a 15-inch TFT LCD panel with a C/F board that applies the role printing method and a 15-inch AM OLED that uses the a-Si method. |
| Moreover, we formed strategic alliances or entered into long-term sales contracts with major global firms such as Dell, Hewlett Packard and Kodak of the United States and Japans Toshiba, among others, to secure customers and expand partnerships for technology development. |

(3) Market characteristics
| The LCD panel has become the core component of the display industry and the demand for LCD panels has been growing steadily. |
| Due to the recent high growth in the display appliance market for the flat display format, the scale of the LCD market is growing, resulting in expansion of the market centered mainly in America, Japan, Europe and China. |
| The growth of the LCD market has mainly been driven by the demand for IT-related products. However, it is anticipated that the LCD TV display market, which has grown rapidly in recent years, will provide the main source of steady growth of the LCD market. |
(4) New business
| As of the end of the third quarter of 2008, P7 in our Paju Display Cluster reached an expanded production capacity of over 150 thousand sheets of glass substrates per month and we have commenced the construction of P8 (8th generation fab) in anticipation of growth in the large-sized TFT-LCD market. |
| 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 June 2006, we established LG Display Guangzhou Co., Ltd. (f/k/a LG.Philips LCD Guangzhou Co., Ltd.). We commenced mass production at the new module production plant in December 2007 and we held an opening ceremony for the module production plant in April 2008. |
| In June 2008, we launched the OLED Business Unit in anticipation of future growth in the OLED business. In addition, we also plan to strengthen our market position in the future display technologies by accelerating the development of flexible display technologies and leading the LED back-light LCD market. |
| In order to facilitate a cooperative purchasing relationship with HannStar Display Corporation (HannStar), a company that manufactures TFT-LCD panels in Taiwan, we decided to purchase 180 million shares of preferred stock of HannStar at a purchase price of NT$3,170,250,000. We acquired the preferred shares in February 2008. The preferred shares mature in three years and are convertible into shares of common stock of HannStar. |
| We are making an effort to increase our competitiveness by forming cooperative relationships with our suppliers and purchasers of our products. As part of this effort, in June 2008 we purchased 2,037,204 shares of AVACO, which produces sputters, a core equipment for LCD production, and we purchased 1,008,875 shares of TLI Co., Ltd., |
which produces core LCD panel components such as Timing Controllers and Driver ICs. By promoting strategic relationships with equipments and parts suppliers, which enables us to obtain a stable source of supply of equipments and parts at competitive prices, we have strengthened our competitive position in the LCD business. |
| In July 2008, we and Skyworth RGB Electronics founded a R&D joint venture corporation with a registered capital of CNY 50 million in China. |
| In August 2008, we entered into a joint venture company agreement with AmTRAN Technology Co., Ltd. (AmTRAN), a Taiwan corporation, in order to produce (i) LCD modules and (ii) LCD TV sets manufactured using the EMS (Electronic Manufacturing System) method. Through the establishment of this joint venture with AmTRAN, we are able to further expand our customer base by securing a long term stable panel dealer. It also allows us to produce LCD modules and LCD TV sets in a single factory, which enables us to provide our customers with products that are competitive both in terms of technology and price. |
| In July 2008, we purchased 6,850,000 shares of the common stock of New Optics, which is approximately 36.7% of its outstanding shares, as part of our strategy to increase our competitiveness by forming cooperative relationships with our suppliers. |

Independent Accountants Review Report
Based on a report originally issued in Korean
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
LG Display Co., Ltd.:
We have reviewed the accompanying interim non-consolidated balance sheet of LG Display Co., Ltd. (formerly, LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd.) (the Company) as of September 30, 2008, and the related interim non-consolidated statements of income for each of the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008, changes in stockholders equity and cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008. These interim non-consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these interim financial statements based on our review. The accompanying interim non-consolidated statements of income for each of the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007, changes in stockholders equity and cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, presented for comparative purposes, were reviewed by Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers, whose report thereon dated October 26, 2007, stated that nothing had come to their attention that caused them to believe that these interim non-consolidated financial statements reviewed by them were not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea.
We conducted our review in accordance with the Review Standards for Semiannual Financial Statements established by the Securities and Futures Commission of the Republic of Korea. These Standards require that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. A review consists principally of inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and, thus provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim non-consolidated financial statements referred to above are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea.
The non-consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2007 and the related non-consolidated statements of income, appropriation of retained earnings, changes in stockholders equity and cash flows for the year then ended were audited by Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers and their report thereon, dated February 15, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion. The accompanying non-consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2007, presented for comparative purposes, is not different from the above-stated non-consolidated balance sheet in all material respects.
As discussed in Note 2 (b) to the interim non-consolidated financial statements, accounting principles and review standards and their application in practice vary among countries. The accompanying interim non-consolidated financial statements are not intended to present the financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders equity and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in countries other than the Republic of Korea. In addition, the procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to review such interim non-consolidated financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries. Accordingly, this report and the accompanying interim non-consolidated financial statements are for use by those knowledgeable about Korean accounting procedures and review standards and their application in practice.

1 | Organization and Description of Business |
LG Display Co., Ltd. (formerly, LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd.) (the Company) was incorporated in 1985 under its original name of LG Soft, Ltd. as a wholly owned subsidiary of LG Electronics Inc. In 1998, LG Electronics Inc. and LG Semicon transferred their respective Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display (TFT-LCD) related business to the Company and its main business is to manufacture and sell TFT-LCD panels. In July 1999, LG Electronics Inc., and Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. (Philips) entered into a joint venture agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company changed its name to LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd. However, on February 29, 2008, the Company changed its name from LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd. to LG Display Co., Ltd. based upon the approval of shareholders at the general shareholders meeting on the same date as a result of the decrease in Philips share interest in the Company and the possibility of its business expansion to Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) and Flexible Display products. As of September 30, 2008, the majority of shares in the Company are owned by LG Electronics Inc. and Philips, 37.9% (135,625 thousand shares) and 13.2% (47,225 thousand shares), respectively.
As of September 30, 2008, the Company has LCD Research & Development Center and TFT-LCD manufacturing plants in Paju and TFT-LCD manufacturing plants and OLED manufacturing plant in Gumi. The Company has overseas subsidiaries located in the United States of America, Europe and Asia.

Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
September 30, 2007 and 2008
1. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
(a) Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of LG Display Co., Ltd. (formerly, LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd.) (LGD) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). They do not include all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP in the preparation of annual consolidated financial statements. The information furnished in these unaudited interim statements reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed. The results of operations in the interim statements do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for the full year. The accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements are the same as those described in the Companys audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for the year ended December 31, 2007 except as discussed in note 2. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 is derived from the December 31, 2007 audited financial statements.
Toshiba Corporation (Toshiba) acquired 20% of LG Display Poland Sp. zo.o. (formerly, LG.Philips LCD Poland Sp. zo.o.) in December 2007. With the acquisition of the 20% interest, Toshiba, LGD and LG Display Poland Sp. zo.o. entered into a derivative contract that is indexed to LG Display Poland Sp. zo.o.s equity shares. According to the contract, LGD or LG Display Poland Sp. zo.o. has a call option to buy Toshibas 20% interest in LG Display Poland Sp. zo.o. and Toshiba has a put option to sell its 20% interest in LG Display Poland Sp. zo.o. to LGD or LG Display Poland Sp. zo.o. under the same terms, that is, the price of the call option is equal to the price of the put option which is the total amount of Toshibas investment at cost. The call and put options are exercisable after five years from the date of acquisition and on each anniversary thereafter with no stated expiry date in whole or in part. In accordance with EITF 00-4, Majority Owners Accounting for a Transaction in the Shares of a Consolidated Subsidiary and a Derivative Indexed to the Minority Interest in That Subsidiary, LG Display Poland Sp. Zo.o is consolidated as a wholly owned subsidiary and Toshibas 20% interest in LG Display Poland Sp. zo.o. is accounted for as a financing by the Company and recorded as long-term other accounts payable in the amount of (Won)36,868 million as of September 30, 2008.
Skyworth TV Holdings Limited (Skyworth) acquired 16% of LG Display Guangzhou Co., Ltd. (formerly, LG.Philips LCD Guangzhou Co., Ltd.) in June 2008. With the acquisition of the 16% interest, Skyworth and LGD entered into a derivative contract that is indexed to LG Display Guangzhou Co., Ltd.s equity shares. According to the contract, LGD has a call option to buy Skyworths 16% interest in LG Display Guangzhou Co., Ltd. and Skyworth has a put option to sell its 16% interest in LG Display Guangzhou Co., Ltd. to LGD under the same terms, that is, the price of the call option is equal to the price of the put option which is the total amount of Skyworths investment at cost. The call and put options are exercisable after five years from the date of

acquisition with no stated expiry date in whole or in part.

(b) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements, in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(c) United States Dollar Amounts
The Company operates primarily in Korea and its financial accounting records are maintained in Korean Won. These translations should not be construed as a representation that the Korean Won amounts shown could be converted, realized or settled in U.S. dollars at this or any other rate. The U.S. dollar amounts are provided herein as supplemental information solely for the convenience of the reader. Korean Won amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars at the rate of (Won)1,206.3 to USD 1, the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank of New York noon buying exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2008. The U.S. dollar amounts are unaudited and are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in either Korea or the United States of America.
(d) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141(R), Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer in business combinations should recognize and measure identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, of adopting this standard.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements An amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS No. 160 requires that ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statements of financial position within equity, but separate from the parents equity. It also requires companies to clearly identify and present on the face of the consolidated statements of income, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 160 will result in the
LG DISPLAY CO., LTD. (Formerly, LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd.) AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
September 30, 2007 and 2008
reclassification of minority interests from long-term liabilities to stockholders equity. The balance at September 30, 2008 was (Won)88 million. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is intended to help investors better understand how derivative instruments and hedging activities affect an entitys financial position, financial performance and cash flows through enhanced disclosure requirements. The enhanced disclosures include, for example:
| a tabular summary of the fair value of derivative instruments and their gains and losses; |
| disclosure of derivative features that are credit-risk-related to provide more information regarding an entitys liquidity; and |
| cross-referencing within footnotes to make it easier for financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments. |
SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, of adopting this standard.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. This FASB Staff Position (FSP) amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This FSP requires the following additional disclosures to be applied prospectively to all intangible assets.
| The entitys accounting policy on the treatment of costs incurred to renew or extend the term of a recognized intangible asset. |
| In the period of acquisition or renewal, the weighted-average period prior to the next renewal or extension (both explicit and implicit), by major intangible asset class. |
| For an entity that capitalizes renewal or extension costs, the total amount of costs incurred in the period to renew or extend the term of a recognized intangible asset for each period for which a statement of financial position is presented, by major intangible asset class. |
| If the effect of a change in either an intangible assets useful life or the expected likelihood of its renewal or extension would be material to the financial statements, the criteria in AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 94-6, Disclosure of Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties, shall be considered met. Accordingly, an entity is required to provide disclosures about an estimate. |
This FSP shall be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, of adopting this FSP.

11. | Income Taxes |
The Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan Interpretation of SFAS Statement 109 (FIN 48) on January 1, 2007. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have any impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. The Company does not have any unrecognized tax positions as of September 30, 2008 and there has been no change since adoption.
The Companys primary tax jurisdictions are Korea, China, Japan, Germany, Poland and the United States with open tax years of 5 years, 6 years, 1 year, 1 year, 3 years and 9 years, respectively. The Company has not made any provision for the disputed tax liabilities under SFAS No. 109 or FIN 48.
Managements policy is to recognize accrued interest on the underpayment of income taxes as a component of interest expense and penalties associated with tax liabilities as a component of income tax expense. However, there was no such interest or penalties incurred during the nine-month period ended September, 30, 2008.
The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of January 1, 2007 was (Won)159,527 million, but there was no valuation allowance as of January 1, 2008. The net change in the total valuation allowance was a decrease of (Won)159,527 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, but there was no change in the valuation allowance during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
12. | Stockholders Equity |
On May 21, 2004, employees of the Company formed an employee stock ownership association, (ESOA), which has the right to purchase on behalf of its membership up to 20% (1,728,000 shares) of shares offered publicly in Korea, pursuant to the Korean Securities and Exchange Act. Employees purchased the shares through the ESOA with loans provided by the Company at the initial public offering price ((Won)34,500) and held under each individual employees account. 20% of the 20% of shares (345,600 shares) purchased by employees with loans from the Company is accounted for as a restricted stock award which vests over four years. Unearned compensation, shown as a deduction of capital surplus, will be amortized over the 4-year vesting period. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2008, the Company recorded compensation expense of (Won)1,952 million and (Won)1,475 million, respectively.

13. | Stock Option Plan |
Effective January 1, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123(R) establishes accounting for share-based awards exchanged for employee services. SFAS No. 123(R) requires that an award that is classified as a liability to be initially measured at its grant date fair value and remeasured at fair value at the end of each reporting period until the award is settled or expired. The measurement is based on the current stock price and other relevant factors. The difference between the fair value amounts is recognized as compensation expense during the requisite service period, based on the percentage of the requisite service that the employee has rendered as of that date. In accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), compensation expense is remeasured at each reporting date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee requisite service period.
On April 7, 2005, the Company granted 450,000 shares of stock appreciations rights (SARs) for selected management employees. Under the terms of this plan, the management employees, upon exercise, receive cash equal to the amount that the market price of the Companys common stock exceeds the strike price (W44,050) of the SARs. The vesting period is two years starting from the grant date, and exercise period is April 8, 2008 through April 7, 2012.
The following table shows total share-based compensation expense included in the consolidated statement of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2008:

(Won) | | 110,000 | |||||
If the increase rate of the Companys 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 initially granted SARs are exercisable. The actual increase rate of the Companys share price for the three-year period ending April 7, 2008, was less than that of the KOSPI. As a result, as of September 30, 2008, only 110,000 SARs are exercisable.
In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company assessed its valuation technique and related assumptions. The Company estimates the fair value of SARs using a Black-Scholes valuation model, consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. Key input assumptions used to estimate the fair value of SARs include the grant price of the award, the expected option term, volatility of the Companys stock, the risk-free rate and the Companys dividend yield. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by selected management employees who receive SARs, and subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by the Company under SFAS No. 123(R).
The fair value of SARs as of September 30, 2007 and 2008, was estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions:
2007 | 2008 | |||||||
Volatility |
47.46 | % | 33.15 | % | ||||
Risk-free interest rate (Korean government bond) |
5.52 | % | 5.65 | % | ||||
Dividend yield |
0 | % | 0 | % | ||||
Weighted-average fair value per SAR granted |
(Won) | 21,264 | (Won) | 1,822 |
Volatility is measured using historical weekly price changes of the Companys stock over the respective term of the SARs.
The number of years that the Company estimates the SARs will be outstanding prior to settlement as of September 30, 2008, is 1.5 years.

Investment agreement with Polish Government
The Company acquired land at EUR1 and received cash grants which are intended to be used for the construction of a plant according to an investment agreement with the Polish Government. The land was recognized at the fair value at acquisition date, amounting to PLN57,413 thousand ((Won)28,830 million) and the corresponding amount was recorded as long-term unearned income. The cash grants amounting to PLN43,221 thousand ((Won)21,703 million) were also recorded as long-term unearned income due to the repayment contingency to be determined in 2012 based on the level of employment and investment.
16. | Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities |
The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Available-for-sale securities, derivatives and long-term debt including the current portion are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.
Effective January 1, 2008, upon adoption of SFAS No. 159, the Company may elect to use fair value to measure eligible items at specified election dates and report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. However, as of September 30, 2008, the Company did not elect to measure any eligible assets or liabilities at fair value in accordance with the Standard.
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Additionally, SFAS No. 157 amended SFAS No. 107, Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (SFAS No. 107), and as such, the Company follows SFAS No. 157 in determination of SFAS No. 107 fair value disclosure amounts. The disclosures required under SFAS No. 157 and SFAS No. 107 has been included in this note. However, as of September 30, 2008, the Company has deferred the application of SFAS No. 157 for its nonfinancial assets and liabilities.
Fair Value Hierarchy
Under SFAS No. 157, the Company groups its assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:
Level 1 Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2 Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
Level 3 Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Companys own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

September 30, 2007 and 2008
Determination of Fair Value
Under SFAS No. 157, the Company bases its fair value on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It is the Companys policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements, in accordance with the fair value hierarchy in SFAS No. 157.
Fair value measurements for assets and liabilities where there exists limited or no observable market data and, therefore, are based primarily upon the Companys own estimates, are often calculated based on current pricing policy, the economic and competitive environment, the characteristics of the asset or liability and other such factors. Therefore, the results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability. Additionally, there may be inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, that could significantly affect the results of current or future value.
Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value and for estimating fair value for financial instruments not recorded at fair value (SFAS No. 107 disclosures).
Assets
Available-for-sale securities
Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the securitys credit rating and other factors such as credit loss assumptions.
Derivatives
The Company measures fair value of derivatives using internally developed models that use primarily market observable inputs, such as yield curves and option volatilities, and, accordingly, classifies derivatives as Level 2. Examples of Level 2 derivatives are basic interest rate swaps and forward contracts.
Liabilities
Long-term debt and payables
Long-term debt is carried at amortized cost. However, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of long-term debt and payables under SFAS No. 107. Generally, the discounted cash flow method is used to estimate the fair value of the Companys long-term debt and payables. Contractual cash flows are discounted using rates currently traded for the bonds with similar remaining maturities and, as such, these discount rates include the Companys current spread levels.

The Company purchases a number of components from various sources. In some cases, alternative sources of supply are not available. In other cases, the Company may establish a working relationship with a single source, even when multiple suppliers are available, if the Company believes it is advantageous to do so due to performance, quality, support, delivery, capacity or price considerations. If the supply of a critical material or component were delayed or curtailed, the Companys ability to ship the related product in desired quantities and in a timely manner could be adversely affected. Even where alternative sources of supply are available, qualification of the alternative suppliers and establishment of reliable supplies could result in delays and a possible loss of sales, which could adversely affect operating results.
