BUSINESS

Overview

MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC (“MagnaChip” or the “Company”) is a leading designer, developer and manufacturer of mixed-signal and digital multimedia semiconductors addressing the convergence of consumer electronics and communications devices. We focus on Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (“CMOS”) image sensors and flat panel display drivers, which are complex, high-performance mixed-signal semiconductors that capture and display images and enable and enhance the features and capabilities of both small and large flat panel displays. Our solutions are used in a wide variety of consumer and commercial mass market applications, such as mobile handsets, including camera-equipped mobile handsets, flat panel monitors and televisions, consumer home and mobile displays, portable and desktop computer displays, handheld gaming devices, PDAs and audio-visual equipment such as DVD players. We serve consumer markets that we believe will have higher growth rates than those of the overall semiconductor industry.

We manufacture our products using our proprietary process technology, which we believe provides our products with cost advantages over those of our competitors. We have approximately 8,500 registered and pending patents. We believe that our proprietary in-house CMOS image sensor technology allows us to tailor our process to create brighter, sharper, more colorful picture quality in image-capture applications such as camera-equipped mobile handsets. Our flat panel display drivers enable our customers to deliver higher image quality, thinner and more power-efficient small panel displays for use in mobile handsets, handheld gaming devices and PDAs and large panel displays for use in portable and desktop computer monitors and digital televisions. We are also a leading provider of wafer foundry services whereby we leverage our specialized process technologies and low cost manufacturing facilities to produce semiconductors for third parties using their product designs.

We own and operate five wafer fabrication facilities, or fabs, which have a combined production capacity of over 119,000 eight-inch equivalent wafers per month. Our fabs provide us with large-scale, cost-effective and flexible capacity, enabling us to rapidly scale to high volume to meet shifts in demand by our end customers. Our fabs also provide us with the ability to further develop our differentiated process technologies for our own product development and manufacturing. The location of our manufacturing sites in Korea and research and development resources in Korea, Japan, and the United States provide close geographical proximity to many of our largest customers and to the core of the worldwide consumer electronics supply chain.

We sell our solutions to leading original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, which include major branded customers as well as contract manufacturers. Our CMOS image sensors are currently designed into products offered by leading global mobile handset manufacturers. Our flat panel display drivers are currently incorporated into products offered by top flat panel display manufacturers. During the year ended December 31, 2006, we sold over 2,200 products to more than 240 customers.

In the three-month period ended December 31, 2004, and the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005, and December 31, 2006, we derived respectively 23.9%, 17.4%, and 8.1% of our consolidated revenue from CMOS image sensors, 24.8%, 34.8%, and 36.8% from flat panel display drivers, and 36.2%, 36.8%, and 46.0% from semiconductor manufacturing services.

The Original Acquisition

Our business was named MagnaChip Semiconductor when it was acquired from Hynix Semiconductor Inc. on October 6, 2004, by Citigroup Venture Capital Equity Partners, L.P. (now known as Court Square Capital Partners, but referred to herein as “CVC”), Francisco Partners L.P., or “Francisco Partners,” CVC Asia Pacific Limited, or “CVC Asia Pacific,” certain members of management and other investors, following discussions with

Hynix that began in late 2001 and the execution of a definitive agreement in June 2004. Previously, we were the System IC division within Hynix which, in 1999, had been formed from the Hyundai Electronics and LG Semiconductor System IC businesses and can trace its history back to the late 1970s. We refer to the acquisition transaction, including the related definitive agreements with Hynix, as the “Original Acquisition.”

Divestment of Application Processor Business

On January 31, 2006, we completed the sale of our application processor business to ABOV Semiconductor Co., Ltd., a new independent entity formed by the investors in GreenChips Co., Ltd., a Korean semiconductor solution provider. The application processor business primarily included assets, staff, and intellectual property related to MagnaChip’s 8-bit and 32-bit microcontroller, SmartCard controller, microperipheral IC, and linear IC product lines. MagnaChip retained a 2.3% equity stake in the new entity, and our semiconductor manufacturing services business continues to provide wafer foundry services for ABOV Semiconductor.

Competitive Strengths

We believe that our competitive strengths include:

Leading Technology and Intellectual Property. We believe our advanced process technology and portfolio of approximately 8,500 registered and pending patents provide us with key competitive advantages in the following areas:

CMOS image sensors: Our CMOS image sensors feature low power consumption and currently up to 3.2 megapixel resolution with auto-focus and auto-zoom options; features which provide important benefits to products incorporating our solutions, including increased battery life, enhanced image quality and ease of use.

Flat panel display drivers: We believe that our flat panel display drivers offer superior performance in shaping image signals and transmitting those signals to flat panel displays. These technical features result in sharper, brighter and higher-quality colored images in our customers’ end products. Furthermore, we believe that our flat panel display drivers enable thinner and more power-efficient flat panels that are easily integrated by our customers into their products.

Semiconductor manufacturing services: We have developed high-voltage, analog power and embedded memory specialty manufacturing process technologies that enable us to manufacture differentiated, high performance integrated semiconductor devices. For example, we developed the first high-voltage, high- performance CMOS 0.18 µm process, which enables us to manufacture more integrated, and thus smaller and more cost-efficient, semiconductor products. We believe that our proprietary process technology allows us to meet a wide variety of the specialty semiconductor manufacturing needs of our customers.

Flexible In-House Manufacturing. Our in-house wafer manufacturing capacity allows us to provide dependable delivery and quality of integrated semiconductor products to our customers. We have the ability to ramp quickly to high volumes to meet the variable needs of our customers. We have significant wafer manufacturing capacity as a result of our former parent’s investments in our wafer fabrication facilities. Because we offer specialty process technologies that do not require expensive investment in leading edge smaller geometry process equipment, we are able to keep our capital expenditures relatively low.

Significant Cost Advantages. We maintain price competitiveness on our products through our low cost operating structure. The Asian location of our primary manufacturing and research and development facilities provides us with a number of cost advantages relative to operating in other regions in the world. Additionally, we believe that our history of competing in the highly cost-sensitive markets in which we operated when we were a unit of Hynix required us to refine our manufacturing processes for optimal cost efficiency.

leading innovators in the consumer electronics market. We have active local applications and engineering work support programs for our customers and collaborate closely with our customers in the design and manufacturing of their products.

Significant Management and Board Expertise. Our management and Board of Directors have significant previous experience with advanced semiconductor companies both in Asia and worldwide. Our executives have many years of experience at such leading companies as Hynix, Samsung, Fairchild Semiconductor, and ChipPAC. In addition, two of our equity sponsors, CVC and Francisco Partners, have a long history of investments in semiconductor companies. We believe that their understanding of semiconductor system solutions, relationships, and credibility with key customers provides us with a key competitive advantage.

Business Strategy

Our goal is to build upon our position as a leading provider of mixed-signal and digital multimedia semiconductors addressing the convergence of consumer electronics and communications devices. Our business strategy emphasizes the following key elements:

Leverage Our Substantial Intellectual Property. We intend to use our broad patent portfolio and specific end market expertise to deliver system-level products with higher levels of integration and performance to customers in our existing and new markets. In CMOS image sensors, we intend to leverage our strong pixel design and manufacturing expertise to introduce higher resolution, more integrated and cost-effective solutions for camera-equipped mobile handsets and to penetrate emerging applications for image sensors in the automotive, medical and industrial markets over time. In flat panel display drivers, we intend to leverage our broad library of circuit building blocks, our embedded memory capabilities, our understanding of the major flat panel display types and our process technology to continue to reduce time to market and introduce new products that enhance image quality and operate with greater power efficiency. Our manufacturing process expertise and related intellectual property underlies and supports many of the advances in our technology.

Strengthen Collaboration With Key Customers. We intend to continue strengthening and deepening relationships with our key customers by collaborating on critical design and product development roadmaps. We believe such collaborative relationships will solidify our position with our customers, further our competitive differentiation and accelerate our drive for deeper customer and new market penetration. For example, close collaboration with our mobile handset customers has allowed us to deliver improved interfaces between baseband and image processors, which have resulted in solutions with smaller form factors and improved image quality.

Increase Large Account Penetration. We have a global customer base consisting of leading consumer electronics OEMs and contract manufacturers. Many of our customers have multiple product variations that use image-capture and processing. We will seek to increase our customer penetration by taking advantage of our broad product portfolio and existing relationships to cross-sell existing products to our customers and to penetrate product variations where our solutions are currently not used.

Broaden Our Customer Base. We intend to expand our customer base across various applications and geographic locations by leveraging our position as a supplier to many of the largest global consumer electronics companies and delivering to potential customers proven, innovative solutions. We also believe that as consumer electronics and communications applications converge and proliferate, we will increasingly have opportunities to sell our products into new markets such as the automotive, medical and industrial markets. We also intend to expand our global sales presence to penetrate new accounts worldwide and grow existing account relationships. We will leverage our sales representatives and distributors located throughout Asia, the United States, and Europe to further these goals.

Leverage Our Capital Light Business Model. We acquired significant proprietary process technologies and wafer manufacturing capacity from our former parent, Hynix. We intend to leverage these investments made by

Hynix to drive our growth and margin improvement. Furthermore, we plan to continue to keep our capital expenditures relatively low by maintaining our focus on specialty process technologies that do not require expensive investment in leading edge technologies. If needed, we will access other foundries that provide such technology in the future. We believe this approach will lead to a higher return on invested capital.

Products and Services

We have a balanced portfolio of products that address many of the most rapidly growing consumer electronics markets. We have determined, based on the nature of our operations and products offered to customers, that our reportable segments are Imaging Solutions, Display Solutions, and Semiconductor Manufacturing Services. The Imaging Solutions segment’s primary products are CMOS image sensors, and the Display Solutions segment’s primary products are flat panel display drivers. The Semiconductor Manufacturing Service segment provides wafer foundry services to clients.

Imaging Solutions. Our highly integrated image sensors are designed to be cost effective and to provide brighter, sharper, more colorful and, thus enhanced, image quality for use primarily in applications that require small form factors, low power consumption, effective heat dissipation and high reliability. Our image sensors fully satisfy these key criteria and are used in image capture applications such as camera-equipped mobile handsets and personal computer cameras. Our in-house manufacturing capabilities enable us to continuously fine tune our CMOS process technology to deliver improved image-capture sensitivity and accuracy.

CMOS image sensors are typically less expensive to produce and consume less power than other types of image sensors. Historically, CMOS image sensors were primarily used for low-cost applications for which high-image quality was not a priority. Recently, advances in semiconductor manufacturing processes and design techniques have led to improvements in CMOS image sensor performance and quality. As a result, CMOS image sensors have become useful, relatively low-cost solutions for use in applications such as camera-equipped mobile handsets and PDAs, where high-image quality, low power consumption, small size and low-cost are important considerations.

According to iSuppli, total worldwide image sensor revenue is expected to grow from $6.56 billion to $9.146 billion from 2006 to 2010, while unit shipments for area sensors such as our products will grow from 919 million units in 2006 to 1.538 billion units in 2010. Image sensor revenues for wireless electronics are forecasted by iSuppli to grow from 29% of the total revenue in 2006 to 64% by 2010. Conversely, revenues for consumer electronics will drop from 45% to 18% of the total market. Handsets accounted for 70% of all image sensor unit shipments in 2005 and will increase at a compound annual growth rate of 20% to account for 77% of all sensor shipments by 2010. Importantly, sensors for digital still cameras will only increase at a 5.8% compound annual growth rate from 98 million units in 2005, or 14.5% of the total, to 130 million units in 2010, or 8.4% of the total.

Our CMOS image sensors are characterized by a high level of integration. Many CMOS image sensors systems are made up of at least two integrated circuits: the CMOS image sensor itself and a separate image signal processor, or ISP. With the continuing demand for ever smaller camera-enabled devices, small size has become an increasingly important consideration for manufacturers of camera phones and similar products. Our products meet this demand for smaller form factors by integrating both our proprietary image sensor and image signal processor onto a single chip, thus occupying approximately half of the space required by multiple chip solutions, while providing equivalent or even superior image quality with lower power consumption and a lower overall cost.

We offer CMOS image sensors with resolutions of VGA, 1.0MP (megapixels), 1.3MP, 2.1MP and 3.2MP. Our solutions enable small form factor camera module implementations which are required for today’s demanding industrial designs, such as very thin mobile phones. All of our solutions support both video and still capture modes, and provide sub-sampling modes to enable preview modes of operation with reduced power

consumption. The choice of resolution by an OEM customer may involve many factors such as size, power and cost target. By offering a full line of solutions, we can service our customer’s requirements across the multiple end products they may offer.

Our imaging solutions segment received revenues of $60.5 million and had a gross loss of $4.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2006, revenues and gross profit of $163.3 million and $25.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2005, and revenues and gross profit of $58.1 million and $12.7 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2004.

Display Solutions. Our flat panel display driver solutions are used in a wide variety of displays for mass market and commercial applications such as mobile handsets, handheld gaming devices, PDAs, displays for desktop and mobile computer monitors and flat panel televisions. We produce highly integrated flat panel display driver solutions and have pioneered developments in embedded memory and in the design and manufacturing of display drivers, enabling our customers to provide improved picture quality through thinner, smaller, more power-efficient displays.

Display drivers are the critical semiconductor components that enable the display’s functionality. A display driver operates by interfacing with the host processor to generate the precise analog voltages and currents required to create images on the display. The performance characteristics of a display driver are critical to the quality and visual appeal of the images and text generated on the display and, in mobile devices, the power efficiency of the device. Our display drivers are highly integrated semiconductors that are customized for the particular needs of our customers. We believe that our design engineering expertise, technology leadership, manufacturing process expertise and library of functional building blocks produce display drivers that enable a wide variety of display types with high-impact visual performance.

The overall end market for flat panel display drivers is composed of a multitude of consumer electronics device markets such as television, laptop and desktop computers and portable consumer devices, including mobile handsets. This overall market can be broken down into several distinct sub-markets which we serve. These sub-markets include large panel TFTs, typically used in flat panel televisions and computer displays, small panel TFTs, typically used in mobile handsets, OLEDs and Color STNs. iSuppli forecasts in the Display Driver ICs Market Tracker that small and medium flat panel display producer shipments will increase from approximately 1.897 billion units in 2006 to 2.226 billion units by 2010, a compound annual growth rate of 4.1%. DisplaySearch forecasts the large TFT LCD market size to increase from 258 million units and $96 billion revenue in 2006 to 462 million units and $138 billion revenue in 2010, a compound annual growth rate of 16%.

We provide display drivers for use in several different types of display technologies and for a variety of end-market applications as discussed below.

TFT-LCD. TFT is an advanced active matrix LCD technology that uses a matrix of transistors embedded on a thin film of silicon to change the transparency of the LCD when voltage is applied. TFT-LCD technology is currently widely used for notebook computers and large scale flat panel monitors (Large TFT) as well as for displays for high-end mobile devices such as advanced mobile handsets (Small TFT). We currently provide Large TFT display drivers for use in mobile and desktop computer displays and in stand-alone flat panel television displays. We also provide Small TFT display drivers for use in mobile handsets, PDAs and in other consumer devices such as handheld gaming devices.

Color STN. Color STN is a low-power, low-cost solution based on passive matrix LCD technology and is widely used in color mobile displays available in the market today. Our Color STN display drivers are used in mobile applications such as mobile handsets, PDAs and handheld gaming devices.

Organic Light Emitting Diode or OLED. OLED is a relatively new display technology used in both mobile displays as well as in larger displays. OLED technology provides enhanced picture quality, low power consumption and long product life; it also has fast image response time, making it an ideal solution

Our display solutions segment received revenues of $273.7 million and gross profit of $35.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2006, $326.1 million and $66.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2005, and $60.3 million and $4.5 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2004.

Semiconductor Manufacturing Services. We provide semiconductor manufacturing services primarily to semiconductor companies that do not have their own fabs. We target the market for diversified semiconductor products that require differentiated specialty process technologies for their manufacture, including high-voltage CMOS, non-volatile memory processes, power, analog and mixed-signal processes. We focus on specialty process technologies that do not require significant recurring capital investment, and we are able to better differentiate ourselves through the depth of our intellectual property portfolio and process technology skills.

The increasing trend toward the outsourcing of semiconductor manufacturing has resulted in a rapid increase in the size of this market. According to iSuppli, the worldwide foundry service market is projected to grow from in excess of $26.6 billion in 2006 to $44.3 billion in 2010, a compound annual growth rate of 13.6%.

Typical applications serviced by our semiconductor manufacturing services business are high-voltage, analog and mixed-signal, power, and non-volatile memory products for consumer, data processing, mobile, game and data communication end-markets. We have developed specialty manufacturing process technologies that enable us to manufacture differentiated, high-performance integrated semiconductor devices. For example, we developed a distinctive high-voltage, high-performance CMOS 0.18 µm process that enables us to manufacture more integrated, and thus smaller and more cost efficient, semiconductor products. We believe that our proprietary process technology allows us to meet a wide variety of the specialty semiconductor manufacturing needs of our customers.

Our internal wafer fab facilities serve both our in-house product design groups and external foundry customers, allowing for both specialty process technology expertise and flexible manufacturing capacity. We target to be the primary-source provider of semiconductor manufacturing services for specialty process technologies for our foundry customers.

Our semiconductor manufacturing services segment received revenues of $342.4 million and gross profit of $45.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2006, $345.4 million and $110.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2005, and $88.3 million and $19.1 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2004.

Our research and development efforts focus on process technology, design methodology and intellectual property for our semiconductor products and foundry services. As a result, we have implemented improvements to our manufacturing processes, design software and design libraries, including our 0.15 µm high-voltage process and our 0.13 µm CIS process and library. We also work closely with our major customers in many research and development activities, including joint intellectual property development, to increase the likelihood that our products will be more easily designed into the customers’ products and consequently achieve rapid and lasting market acceptance. In CMOS image sensors, we are focusing on pixel size reduction, thereby enabling smaller form factors and higher resolution sensors. In flat panel display drivers, we are focusing on further integration. In semiconductor manufacturing services, our research and development work allows us to add features such as mixed-signal, high voltage, embedded memory and power devices.

Raw Materials

We use processes that require specialized raw materials that are generally available from a limited number of suppliers. In 2006, we diversified suppliers for many of our raw materials, including chemicals, gases, and tape, which is one of the process materials for our display drivers. We continue to attempt to qualify additional suppliers for these materials. Although we have not experienced any significant raw material shortages in the past, it is possible that going forward our business and results of operations could be adversely affected due to supply shortages or price increases for raw materials.

Worldwide supplies of silicon wafers, an important raw material for the semiconductors we manufacture, have been decreasing due to a worldwide shortage of polysilicon, the raw material of wafers, and are not expected to increase until late 2008. Polysilicon is also a key raw material for solar cells, the demand for which has steadily increased over the last two years.

Intellectual Property

As of March 1, 2007, our portfolio of intellectual property assets included approximately 8,500 registered and pending patents. Our patents expire at various times over the next 18 years. While these patents are in the aggregate important to our competitive position, no single registered or pending patent is material to us.

Table of Contents

Pursuant to the intellectual property license agreement that we entered into with Hynix in connection with the Original Acquisition, we obtained from Hynix a non-exclusive license to certain intellectual property of Hynix that is mostly patent-related, and we granted to Hynix a non-exclusive license to certain of our intellectual property. Additionally, we have entered into exclusive and non-exclusive licenses and development agreements with third parties relating to the use of intellectual property of the third parties in our products and our design processes, including licenses related to embedded memory technology, design tools, process simulation tools, circuit designs, and ARM’s ARM7 and ARM9 core-based System-on-Chip.

In addition, we rely on proprietary know-how, continuing technological innovation and other trade secrets to develop products and maintain our competitive position. We attempt to protect our proprietary know-how and our other trade secrets by executing, when appropriate, confidentiality agreements with our customers and employees. We cannot assure you that our competitors will not discover comparable or the same knowledge and techniques through independent development or other means.

Competition

We operate in highly competitive markets. Although no one company competes with us in all of our product lines, we face significant competition in each of our market segments.

Our competitors include other manufacturers and designers of system semiconductors, standard products, and semi-standard programmable digital logic semiconductor products, as well as customers who design their own semiconductors that are manufactured at third party foundries.

We compete with other semiconductor providers based on design experience, the ability to service customer needs from the design phase to the shipping of a completed product, length of design cycle, longevity of technology support and sales and technical support personnel. Our ability to successfully compete depends on internal and external variables, both within and outside of our control. These variables include, but are not limited to, the timeliness with which we can develop new products and technologies, product performance and quality, manufacturing yields and availability, customer service, pricing, industry trends and general economic trends.

Employees

Our worldwide workforce consisted of 3,504 employees (full- and part-time) as of March 1, 2007, of which 455 were involved in sales, general and administrative, 485 were in research and development, 92 were in quality, reliability and assurance and 2,472 were in manufacturing (comprised of 401 in engineering and 2,071 in operations). As of March 1, 2007, 2,149 employees, or approximately 61% of our workforce, were represented by the MagnaChip Semiconductor Labor Union, which is a member of the Federation of Korean Metal Workers Trade Unions.

Currently, members of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU), representing the former employees of two subcontractors that we retained for only three months in 2004, have demonstrated and may continue to demonstrate at our campus in Cheongju, Korea. The KCTU is demanding that we pressure other subcontractors to hire the employees and that we pay monetary compensation to the employees. These demonstrations have required additional interim expenses and may have a continuing negative impact on our operations in the future.

Environmental Matters

Our operations are subject to a variety of environmental, health and safety laws and regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate, governing, among other things, air emissions, wastewater discharges, the generation, use, handling, storage and disposal of, and exposure to, hazardous substances (including asbestos)

Table of Contents

and wastes, soil and groundwater contamination and employee health and safety. These laws and regulations are complex, constantly changing and have tended to become more stringent over time. We cannot assure you that we have been, or will be at all times, in complete compliance with all these laws and regulations or that we will not incur material costs or liabilities in connection with these laws and regulations in the future. The adoption of new environmental, health and safety laws, the failure to comply with new or existing laws, or issues relating to hazardous substances could subject us to material liability (including substantial fines or penalties), impose the need for additional capital equipment or other process requirements upon us, curtail our operations, or restrict our ability to expand operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry may limit our ability to maintain or increase net sales and profit levels during industry downturns.

The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical and periodically experiences significant economic downturns characterized by diminished product demand, resulting in production overcapacity and excess inventory in the markets we serve, which can result in rapid erosion of average selling prices. The industry has experienced significant downturns, often in connection with, or in anticipation of, maturing product cycles of both semiconductor companies’ and their customers’ products and the decline in general economic conditions.

We have experienced these conditions in our business in the past and may experience renewed, and possibly more severe and prolonged, downturns in the future as a result of such cyclical changes. This may reduce our profitability and the value of our business.

Customer demand is difficult to accurately forecast.

We make significant decisions, including determining the levels of business that we will seek and accept, production schedules, component procurement commitments, personnel needs and other resource requirements, based on our estimates of customer requirements. The short-term nature of commitments by many of our customers and the possibility of rapid changes in demand for their products reduces our ability to accurately estimate future customer demand. On occasion, customers may require rapid increases in production, which can challenge our resources and reduce margins. We may not have sufficient capacity at any given time to meet our customers’ increased demand for our product. Conversely, downturns in the semiconductor industry may cause and have caused our customers to significantly reduce the amount of products ordered from us. Because many of our costs and operating expenses are relatively fixed, a reduction in customer demand may decrease our gross margins and operating income.

Our customers may cancel their orders, change production quantities or delay production.

We generally do not obtain firm, long-term purchase commitments from our customers. Customers may cancel their orders, change production quantities or delay production for a number of reasons. Cancellations, reductions or delays by a significant customer or by a group of customers, which we have experienced as a result of the recent downturn in the semiconductor industry, have adversely affected and may continue to adversely

 

10


Table of Contents

affect our results of operations. In addition, while we do not obtain long-term purchase commitments, we generally agree to the pricing of a particular product for the entire lifecycle of the product, which can extend over a number of years. If we underestimate our costs when determining the pricing, our margins and results of operations would be adversely affected.

A significant portion of our sales comes from a relatively limited number of customers.

If we were to lose key customers or if customers cease to place orders for our high volume devices, our financial results will be adversely affected. While we served more than 240 customers in the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2006, net sales to our 10 largest customers represented approximately 65.6% of our net sales for the period. We had one individual customer and one group of affiliated customers that each represented greater than 10% of our net sales during the year ended December 31, 2006. Significant reductions in sales to any of these customers, the loss of major customers or the curtailment of orders for our high-volume devices within a short period of time would adversely affect our business.

Our industry is highly competitive.

The semiconductor industry is highly competitive and includes hundreds of companies, a number of which have achieved substantial market share. Current and prospective customers for our products evaluate our capabilities against the merits of our direct competitors. Some of our competitors are well-established as independent companies and have substantially greater market share and manufacturing, financial, research and development and marketing resources than we do. We also compete with emerging companies that are attempting to sell their products in specialized markets, and with the internal capabilities of many of our significant customers. We expect to experience continuing competitive pressures in our markets from existing competitors and new entrants. Any consolidation among our competitors could enhance their product offerings and financial resources, further enhancing their competitive position. Our ability to compete successfully depends on a number of factors, including the following: our ability to offer cost effective products on a timely basis using our technologies; our ability to accurately identify and respond to emerging technological trends and demand for product features and performance characteristics; product introductions by our competitors; our ability to adopt or adapt to emerging industry standards; and the number and nature of our competitors in a given market. Many of these factors are outside of our control. In the future, our competitors may capture our existing or potential customers and our customers may satisfy more of their requirements internally. As a result, we may experience declining revenues and profits.

A decline in average selling prices could decrease our profits.

In the past, our industry has experienced a decline in average selling prices. A decline in average selling prices for our products, if not offset by reductions in the costs of producing such products, would decrease our gross profits and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Growth in the consumer electronics and other end markets for our products is an important component in our success.

Our continued success will depend in part on the growth of various consumer electronics markets and other end markets that use our semiconductors and on general economic growth. To the extent that we cannot offset recessionary periods or periods of reduced growth that may occur in these markets through greater penetration of these markets, our sales may decline and our business, financial condition and results of operations may suffer as a result.

We depend on successful technological advances for growth.

Our industry is subject to rapid technological change and product obsolescence as customers and competitors create new and innovative products and technologies. Products or technologies developed by other

 

11


Table of Contents

companies may render our products or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive and we may not be able to access leading edge process technologies or to license or otherwise obtain essential intellectual property required by our customers. Our inability to continue identifying new product opportunities, or manufacturing technologically advanced products on a cost-effective basis, may result in decreased revenues and a loss of market share to our competitors.

We may not be able to attract or retain the technical or management employees necessary to remain competitive in our industry.

We depend on our ability to attract and retain skilled technical and managerial personnel. We could lose the services of, or fail to recruit, skilled personnel, which could hinder our research and product development programs or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business.

If we encounter future labor problems, we may fail to deliver our products in a timely manner which could adversely affect our revenues and profitability.

As of March 1, 2007, approximately 61% of our employees were represented by the MagnaChip Semiconductor Labor Union, which is a member of the Federation of Korean Metal Workers Trade Unions. We cannot assure you that issues with the labor union and other employees will be resolved favorably for us in the future, that we will not experience significant work stoppages in future years or that we will not record significant charges related to those work stoppages.

We may incur costs to engage in future business combinations or strategic investments and the anticipated benefits of those transactions may not be realized.

As part of our business strategy, we may seek to enter into business combinations, investments, joint ventures and other strategic alliances with other companies in order to maintain and grow revenue and market presence as well as to provide us with access to technology, products and services. Those transactions would be accompanied by risks that may harm our business, such as difficulties in assimilating the operations, personnel and products of an acquired business or in realizing the projected benefits; disruption of our ongoing business; potential increases in our indebtedness and contingent liabilities; and charges if the acquired company or assets are later worth less than the amount paid for them in the Original Acquisition. In addition, our senior secured credit facility and the indentures governing our notes may prohibit us from making acquisitions that we may otherwise wish to pursue.

We depend on high utilization of our manufacturing capacity.

As many of our costs are fixed, a reduction in capacity utilization, together with other factors such as yield and product mix, could reduce our profit margins and adversely affect our operating results. A number of factors and circumstances may reduce utilization rates, including periods of industry overcapacity, low levels of customer orders, operating inefficiencies, mechanical failures and disruption of operations due to expansion or relocation of operations, power interruptions, fire, flood or other natural disasters or calamities.

The failure to achieve acceptable manufacturing yields could adversely affect our business.

The manufacture of semiconductors requires precision, a highly-regulated and sterile environment and expensive equipment. We may have difficulty achieving acceptable yields in the manufacture of our products. Slight impurities or defects in the masks used to print circuits on a wafer or other factors can cause significant difficulties, particularly in connection with the production of a new product, the adoption of a new manufacturing process or any expansion of our manufacturing capacity and related transitions.

 

12


Table of Contents

We rely on certain subcontractors.

The majority of our net sales are derived from semiconductor devices assembled in advanced packages. The packaging of semiconductors is a complex process requiring, among other things, a high degree of technical skill and advanced equipment. We outsource our semiconductor packaging to subcontractors, most of which are located in Korea and Southeast Asia. We rely on these subcontractors to package our devices with acceptable quality and yield levels. If our semiconductor packagers experience problems in packaging our semiconductor devices or experience prolonged quality or yield problems, our operating results could be adversely affected.

We depend on successful parts and materials procurement for our manufacturing processes.

We use a wide range of parts and materials in the production of our semiconductors, including silicon, processing chemicals, processing gases, precious metals and electronic and mechanical components. We procure materials and electronic and mechanical components from domestic and foreign sources and original equipment manufacturers. If we cannot obtain adequate materials in a timely manner or on favorable terms for the manufacture of our products, either or both of our revenues or profits will decline.

We face product liability risks and the risk of negative publicity if our products fail.

Our semiconductors are incorporated into a number of end products, and our business is exposed to product liability risk and the risk of negative publicity if our products fail. Although we maintain insurance for product liability claims, the amount and scope of our insurance may not be adequate to cover a product liability claim that is asserted against us. In addition, product liability insurance could become more expensive and difficult to maintain and, in the future, may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

In addition, we are exposed to the product liability risk and the risk of negative publicity affecting our customers and suppliers. Our sales may decline if any of our customers are sued on a product liability claim. We may also suffer a decline in sales from the negative publicity associated with such a lawsuit or with adverse public perceptions in general regarding our customers’ products.

Our ability to compete successfully and achieve future growth will depend, in part, on our ability to protect our proprietary technology, as well as our ability to operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others.

We seek to protect our proprietary technologies and know-how through the use of patents, trade secrets, confidentiality agreements and other security measures. The process of seeking patent protection takes a long time and is expensive. We cannot assure you that patents will issue from pending or future applications or that, if patents issue, they will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or that the rights granted under the patents will provide us with meaningful protection or any commercial advantage. Some of our technologies are not covered by any patent or patent application. The confidentiality agreements on which we rely may be breached and may not be adequate to protect our proprietary technologies. We cannot assure you that other countries in which we market our services will protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the United States.

Our ability to compete successfully depends on our ability to operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others. We have no means of knowing what patent applications have been filed in the United States until they are published. In addition, the semiconductor industry is characterized by frequent litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. Litigation, which could result in substantial costs to us and diversion of our resources, may also be necessary to enforce our patents or other intellectual property rights or to defend against claimed infringement of the rights of others. In the event of an adverse outcome in any such litigation, we may be required to pay substantial damages, indemnify customers or licensees for damages they may suffer if the products they purchase from us or the technology they license from us violate the intellectual property rights of

 

13


Table of Contents

others; stop our manufacture, use, sale or importation of infringing products; expend significant resources to develop or acquire non-infringing technologies; discontinue processes; or obtain licenses to the intellectual property we are found to have infringed. We cannot assure you that we would be successful in such development or acquisition or that such licenses would be available under reasonable terms, or at all.

Our competitors may develop, patent or gain access to know-how and technology similar to our own. Failure to protect our existing intellectual property rights may result in the loss of valuable technologies or our having to pay other companies for infringing on their intellectual property rights.

We are subject to many environmental laws and regulations that could affect our operations or result in significant expenses.

We are subject to requirements of environmental, health and safety laws and regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate, governing, among other things, air emissions, wastewater discharges, the generation, use, handling, storage and disposal of, and exposure to, hazardous substances (including asbestos) and wastes, soil and groundwater contamination and employee health and safety. These laws and regulations are complex, constantly changing and have tended to become more stringent over time. We cannot assure you that we have been, or will be at all times, in complete compliance with all these laws and regulations or that we will not incur material costs or liabilities in connection with these laws and regulations in the future. The adoption of new environmental, health and safety laws, the failure to comply with new or existing laws, or issues relating to hazardous substances could subject us to material liability (including substantial fines or penalties), impose the need for additional capital equipment or other process requirements upon us, curtail our operations, or restrict our ability to expand operations.

We could suffer adverse tax and other financial consequences as a result of changes in, or differences in the interpretation of, applicable tax laws.

Our company organizational structure is based, in part, on assumptions about the various tax laws, including withholding tax, and other laws of applicable non-U.S. jurisdictions. In addition, our Korean subsidiary (“MagnaChip Korea”) was granted a limited tax-holiday under Korean law in October 2004, which provides for certain tax exemptions for corporate taxes, withholding taxes, acquisition taxes, property and land taxes and other taxes for five years. Our interpretations and conclusions are not binding on any taxing authority, and, if our assumptions about tax and other laws are incorrect or if the authorities were to change or modify the relevant laws, we could suffer adverse tax and other financial consequences or have the anticipated benefits of our company organizational structure materially impaired.

A limited number of persons indirectly control us.

CVC, Francisco Partners, and CVC Asia Pacific own approximately 34.1%, 34.1% and 18.3%, respectively, of the outstanding voting interests in MagnaChip. By virtue of their ownership of these voting interests, and the securityholders’ agreement among MagnaChip and its unitholders, these entities have significant influence over our management and will be able to determine the outcome of all matters required to be submitted to the unitholders for approval, including the election of a majority of our directors and the approval of mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets.

We may need additional capital in the future and it may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.

We may require more capital in the future to fund our operations, finance investments in equipment and infrastructure, and respond to competitive pressures and potential strategic opportunities. Additional capital may not be available when needed or, if available, may not be available on satisfactory terms. If we are unable to obtain capital on favorable terms, or if we are unable to obtain capital at all, we may have to reduce our operations or forego opportunities and it may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Table of Contents

Our international operations are subject to various risks that may lead to decreases in financial results.

We face risks inherent in international operations, such as unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, tariffs and other market barriers, political, social and economic instability, adverse tax consequences, war, civil disturbances and acts of terrorism, difficulties in accounts receivables collection, extended payment terms and differing labor standards, enforcement of contractual obligations and protection of intellectual property. These risks may lead to increased costs or decreased revenue growth, or both.

Any increase in tensions with North Korea could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Relations between Korea and North Korea have been tense throughout Korea’s modern history. The level of tension between Korea and North Korea has fluctuated and may increase or change abruptly as a result of current and future events. Although we do not derive any revenue from, nor sell any products in, North Korea, any future increase in tensions which may occur, for example, the breakdown of high-level contacts between Korea and North Korea or the occurrence of military hostilities, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to risks associated with currency fluctuations.

Our revenues are denominated in various currencies, specifically, the Korean Won, Japanese Yen, Euro and U.S. dollar. As a result, changes in the exchange rates of these currencies or any other applicable currencies to the U.S. dollar will affect the translated price of products and therefore operating margins and could result in exchange losses.

The majority of our costs are denominated in Korean Won and to a lesser extent in Japanese Yen, U.S. dollar and Euro. Therefore, changes in the exchange rates of these currencies or any other applicable currencies to the U.S. dollar will affect cost of goods sold and operating margins and could result in exchange losses.

We cannot fully predict the impact of future exchange rate fluctuations on our profitability. From time to time, we may have engaged in, and may continue to engage in, exchange rate hedging activities in an effort to mitigate the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. However, we cannot assure you that any hedging technique we implement will be effective. If it is not effective, we may experience reduced operating margins.

Our historical financial information may not be representative of our results as a separate company.

Prior to the Original Acquisition, we operated as a division of Hynix. Historical financial information for periods prior to September 30, 2004, was derived from Hynix’s consolidated financial statements, has been presented on a carve-out basis and does not necessarily reflect what our financial position, results of operations or cash flows would have been had we been a separate, stand-alone company during the periods presented. As carve-out financial statements, the financial statements include allocations of the costs of shared activities and overhead of Hynix and of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment shared with Hynix. These allocations are based upon various assumptions and estimates, some of which are subjective. Actual results of our operations had we operated on a stand-alone basis, may differ from those allocations and estimates. Also, as part of the Original Acquisition we did not acquire certain assets that were included in the carve-out financial statements and we assumed certain additional costs and obligations that are not reflected in the carve-out financial statements. Accordingly, the carve-out financial statements should not be relied upon as being representative of our financial position or operating results had we operated on a stand-alone basis, nor may they be representative of our financial position or operating results following the Original Acquisition.

Table of Contents

Our expenses could increase if Hynix were unwilling or unable to provide certain services related to our shared facilities with Hynix.

Because we share certain facilities with Hynix, a few services that are essential to our business are provided to us by or through Hynix. These services include electricity, bulk gasses and de-ionized water, campus facilities, wastewater and sewage management, and environmental safety. If any of our agreements with Hynix were terminated or if Hynix were unwilling or unable to fulfill its obligations to us under the terms of these agreements, we would have to procure these services on our own and as a result may experience an increase in our expenses.

In addition, we lease building and warehouse space from Hynix in Cheongju, Korea, and lease to Hynix some of the space we own in Cheongju, Korea. If Hynix were to become insolvent, we could lose our leases on some of our building and warehouse space.

Research and development investments may not yield profitable and commercially viable products and thus will not necessarily result in increases in revenues for us.

We invest significant resources in our research and development. However, research and development efforts may not yield commercially viable products. During each stage of research and development there is a substantial risk that we will have to abandon a potential product which is no longer marketable and in which we have invested significant resources. In the event we are able to develop viable new products, a significant amount of time will have elapsed between our investment in the necessary research and development effort and the receipt of any related revenues.

Investor confidence may be adversely impacted if we are unable to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Beginning with our fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, we will be subject to rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which require us to include in our Annual Report on Form 10-K our management’s report on, and assessment of the effectiveness of, our internal controls over financial reporting. Beginning with our fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, our independent auditors will be required to attest to and report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. If we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, there is a risk that we will not comply with all of the requirements imposed by Section 404. Moreover, effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to helping prevent financial fraud. Any of these possible outcomes could result in an adverse reaction in the financial marketplace due to a loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which ultimately could harm our business and could negatively impact the market price of our securities.

Item 2. Properties.

We own and operate five wafer fabrication facilities, or fabs, which have a combined production capacity of over 119,000 eight-inch equivalent wafers per month. We manufacture wafers at our two 8-inch fabs and our 6-inch fab located in Cheongju, Korea and our 8-inch fab and our 5-inch fab located in Gumi, Korea. The Cheongju facilities have three main buildings totaling 164,058 square meters. The Gumi facilities have two main buildings with 50,351 square meters devoted to manufacturing. We also lease from Hynix certain exclusive-use space plus certain common- and joint-use space in several buildings, primarily warehouses and utility facilities, in Cheongju, Korea.

Table of Contents

In addition to our fabs located in Cheongju and Gumi, Korea, we lease facilities in Seoul, Korea, Osaka, Japan, and Sunnyvale, California. Each of these facilities includes administration, sales and marketing, research and development, and operations functions. We also lease design facilities in Tokyo, Japan, which also has a sales and marketing office, and Lake Oswego, Oregon, and sales and marketing offices at our subsidiaries in several other countries.

The ownership of our wafer manufacturing assets is an important component of our business strategy that enables us to develop proprietary, differentiated products and maintain a high level of manufacturing control resulting in high production yields, shortened design and production cycles, adequate manufacturing capacity, and the capture of the wafer manufacturing profit margin.

(1) On October 6, 2004, MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC completed the Original Acquisition. For accounting purposes and consistent with its reporting periods, the Company has used October 1, 2004 as the effective date of the Original Acquisition since the financial results from October 1, 2004 onwards accrued to the Company’s benefit. As a result, the Company has reported its operating results and financial position for all periods from and after October 1, 2004, as those of the successor company. The predecessor company periods and the successor company periods have different bases of accounting and are therefore not comparable.
(2) Primarily relates to wafer foundry contract manufacturing services to Hynix Semiconductor, Inc., Hynix Display Technology and other related parties during the predecessor company periods when the Company was the System IC division within Hynix.
(3) Working capital is calculated as current assets less current liabilities.
(4) Total indebtedness is calculated as long and short-term borrowings, including the current portion of long-term borrowings.
(5) As a substantial portion of the Company’s revenues and assets are recorded in KRW functional currency, conversion to US Dollar reporting currency is required at the end of each reporting period in order to follow the methodology prescribed in SFAS No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation.

Basis of Presentation

Prior to October 1, 2004, our consolidated financial statements were prepared on a carve-out basis from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Hynix using the actual results of operations and actual basis of assets and liabilities of our business. The consolidated statements of operations include allocations of certain raw materials, other assets and accounts payable which our business has historically shared with Hynix, and allocations of certain manufacturing costs, general and administrative, sales and marketing, and other miscellaneous expenses. These allocations were made on a specifically identifiable basis or using the relative percentages, as compared to Hynix’s other businesses, of sales, headcount, raw material consumption or other reasonable methods. Hynix and MagnaChip considered these allocations to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided. We believe the assumptions underlying the consolidated financial statements are reasonable. However, the consolidated financial statements may not necessarily reflect our results of operations, financial position and cash flows in the future or what our results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been, had we been a separate stand-alone company during the historical carve-out periods presented. As part of the Original Acquisition, we did not acquire certain assets that were included in the carve-out financial statements and we assumed certain additional obligations that are not reflected in the carve-out financial statements. Accordingly, the carve-out financial statements should not be relied upon as being representative of our financial position or operating results had we operated on a stand alone basis, nor may they be representative of our financial position or operating results following the Original Acquisition.

Prior to our fiscal year 2006, we operated in a single segment—semiconductor manufacturing. In our fiscal year 2006, subsequent to the appointment of new chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) as defined by Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Relate Information, the manner in which the CODM reviewed the Company’s operational results and made significant business decisions was changed to include disaggregated financial information with respect to our three primary business units. Segment information for the prior periods was prepared in conformity with the current segment structure.

We derive a majority of our net sales from three operating segments: Display Solutions, Imaging Solutions and Semiconductor Manufacturing Services. The “All other” category for 2006 represents certain business activities other than these business segments, principally composed of rental and unit processing. All other for the prior period also included certain business activities exited in late 2005 or early 2006, such as our application processor and DRAM foundry business.

Total net sales for 2006 decreased $193.4 million, or 20.6% compared to 2005. Net sales generated from the three operating segments in 2006 were $676.6 million, a decrease of $158.2 million or 18.9% from net sales from the three operating segments in 2005.

Display Solutions. Net sales from Display Solutions for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $273.7 million, a $52.4 million or 16.1% decrease from $326.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. This decrease was primarily attributable to sales volume decrease in large display driver products as a result of our customer’s inventory correction, build-up of inventory in the prior year and subsequent reductions of inventory in 2006 due to less-than-expected market demand from our major customers. In addition, average selling price erosion during 2006 also had a negative impact on net sales.

Table of Contents

Imaging Solutions. Imaging Solutions net sales decreased $102.8 million in 2006, or 63% compared to net sales generated in 2005. This decrease was primarily attributable to missed opportunities from our delays in transition to new mega-pixel products, which was expected to substitute our VGA products. Revenue from our traditional VGA products decreased year-over-year due to lower market demand and a decline in average selling price.

Semiconductor Manufacturing Services. Net sales from Semiconductor Manufacturing Services for the year ended December 31, 2006, were $342.4 million, a $3.0 million or 0.9% decrease compared to net sales of $345.4 million for 2005. A moderate decrease in average selling price was mostly offset by an increase in wafer volume.

All other. Net sales from All other for 2006 were $67.7 million compared to $102.9 million for 2005. The year-over-year reduction of $35.2 million represents net sales from the exited application processor business and DRAM foundry business, which was partially offset by an increase in revenue from unit processing.

Total gross profit decreased $109.3 million in 2006, or 52.4%, compared to gross profit generated in 2005. Gross margin percentage for 2006 was 13.4% of net sales, a decrease of 8.9% from 22.3% for 2005. This decline in gross margin percentage was primarily attributable to lower utilization of our manufacturing capacity as a result of substantial sales decreases, coupled with an overall decrease in average selling prices.

Display Solutions. Gross margin percentage for Display Solutions for the year ended December 31, 2006 declined to 13.0% compared to 20.4% for the year ended December 31, 2005. This decline in gross margin percentage was primarily attributable to lower average selling price and higher overhead cost per-unit driven by a decrease in unit volume.

Imaging Solutions. Imaging Solutions reported gross loss for the year ended December 31, 2006, due to a significant reduction in revenues as a result of a weak market position for new products, coupled with significant decreases in market demand for existing products.

Semiconductor Manufacturing Services. Gross margin for Semiconductor Manufacturing Services declined to 13.3% in 2006 from 32.0% in 2005. The year-over-year decrease was primarily attributable to lower margin mix within the segment.

All other. Gross margin percentage for All other for 2006 increased to 32.6% from 6.1% for the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase is mainly attributable to the discontinuation of the less profitable application processor and DRAM foundry businesses.

Operating Expenses

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $87.7 million or 11.8% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $123.3 million or 13.1% for the year ended December 31, 2005. This decrease of $35.6 million or 28.9% from the prior year was primarily

 

24


Table of Contents

attributable to a reduction in professional service fees driven by our cost containment efforts and a decrease in amortization expense of intangible assets as a result of an impairment taken during the year.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $131.2 million, a $23.6 million or 21.9% increase from $107.6 million for the year ended December 21, 2005. This increase in research and development expenses during the year primarily represents our focus on the introduction of new products, especially in the Imaging Solutions and Display Solutions segments. As a percentage of net sales, research and development expense increased to 17.6% in current period compared to 11.5% in the prior period.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges. During the year ended December 31, 2006, we recorded restructuring and impairment charges totaling $94.3 million, which included $92.9 million of impairment charges under SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets and $1.4 million of restructuring charges under SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

The impairment charges of $92.5 million recorded during 2006 related to certain fixed assets and technology and customer-based intangible assets (the “asset group”) comprising our Imaging Solution business. At the end of 2005, the capacity utilization of the Fab was under the level that we believe to be normal. This was primarily due to a transition in product mix, coupled with a seasonal decrease in market demand, which was deemed to be temporary and recoverable. However, in 2006, our management determined, based on revised forecasting, that the projected demand for certain of its products in our Imaging Solutions business was significantly less than previously forecasted and that this decline was not temporary or seasonal. Therefore, we assessed whether there had been an impairment of the asset group pursuant to SFAS No. 144 and, based on the assessment, recorded the impairment charge. We also recorded $0.4 million of impairment charges in association with the disposition of certain held-for-sale assets.

The $1.4 million of restructuring charges for 2006 were incurred in connection with the termination of certain of our management and employees.

During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company recorded a one-time charge of $36.2 million of restructuring and impairment charges which included $33.5 million for asset impairment and $2.7 million for restructuring.

Other Income (Expense)

Net Interest Expense. Net interest expense was $57.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, consistent with $57.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Substantially all of our interest expense is to serve our long-term borrowings of $750.0 million at a weighted-average interest rate of 7.4%.

Net Foreign Currency Gain. Net foreign currency gain for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $50.9 million, compared to $16.5 for the year ended December 31, 2005. A substantial portion of our net foreign currency gain was non-cash translation gain recorded for intercompany borrowings at one of our subsidiaries.

Income Tax Expenses

Income tax expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $9.2 million while income tax expenses were $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The lower income tax expenses in the prior period were primarily attributable to the income tax benefit recognized for a temporary difference related to revenue recognition at our Japanese subsidiaries, which became recognizable as a result of change in business model. Income tax expense for 2006 was comprised of $5.2 million of withholding taxes on the interest paid by one of our subsidiaries to its parent company, a $2.0 million income tax effect from the decrease of deferred tax assets and an aggregate $2.0 million of current income taxes incurred at various jurisdictions where we had our operations.

Total net sales for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $937.7 million, a $147.5 million or 13.6% decrease from $1.1 billion in 2004, which consisted of $841.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and $243.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004. The reduction was primarily attributable to a decrease of $133.4 million in our DRAM foundry business with Hynix, which is included in the All other category, driven by our strategic decision to focus on three core segments. Net sales generated from the three operating segments in 2005 were $834.8 million, compared to $817.8 million in 2004.

Display Solutions. Net sales from Display Solutions for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $326.1 million, a $67.0 million or 25.9% increase from $259.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. This revenue increase for Display Solutions was driven by an expansion in market demand, partially offset by a slight decline in average selling prices.

Imaging Solutions. Imaging Solutions net sales for the year ended December 2005 were $163.3 million, a decrease of $36.9 million or 18.5%, compared to $200.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. This decrease in net sales was mainly attributable to a decline in average selling price, especially in VGA products, which was partially offset by an increase in unit volume sales.

Semiconductor Manufacturing Services. Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2005 generated from Semiconductor Manufacturing Services were $345.4 million, relatively consistent compared to $358.5 million of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2004 as a decrease in sales volume was mostly offset by an increase in average selling price.

All other. Net sales from All other decreased 61.5% to $102.9 million in 2005 from $267.4 million in 2004 as we strategically reduced DRAM foundry and application solutions in an effort to focus on three major business segments.

Total gross profit for 2005 decreased $17.4 million or 7.7%, compared to gross profit generated in 2004 mainly due to a decrease in revenue base. Gross margin percentage for 2005 increased to 22.3% of net sales from 20.8% of net sales for 2004. This improvement in gross margin percentage was primarily attributable to lower depreciation costs for 2005 associated with the application of purchase accounting from the Original Acquisition.

Display Solutions. Gross margin percentage for Display Solutions for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased to 20.4% as compared to 13.4% for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase in gross margin percentage was primarily attributable to lower per-unit overhead costs driven by a significant increase in unit volume produced during 2005.

Table of Contents

Imaging Solutions. Gross margin percentage for Imaging Solutions for 2005 was 15.6% compared with 34.7% for 2004. The gross margin decrease from 2004 was primarily attributable to decrease in average selling prices.

Semiconductor Manufacturing Services. Gross margin for Semiconductor Manufacturing Services increased to 32.0% in 2005 from 29.4% in 2004. This increase in gross margin percentage in 2005 resulted from higher average selling price and lower depreciation expenses during the period.

All other. Gross margin percentage for All other for 2005 was 6.1%, relatively consistent with 6.2% for 2004.

Operating Expenses

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $123.3 million or 13.1% of net sales in 2005. This represents a $39.5 million or 47.1% increase from a total of $83.8 million or 7.7% of net sales in 2004, which consisted of $54.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and $29.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to amortization of intangible assets recorded upon the application of purchase accounting as a result of the Original Acquisition. We also recognized increased professional fees related to consulting and infrastructure build-out as well as additional warranty reserves to cover possible exposures to future claims from customers.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses in 2005 were $107.6 million, a $9.8 million or 10.0% increase from $97.8 million in 2004, which consisted of $75.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and $22.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004. The increase in research and development expenses was mainly due to our reinforcement of research and development centers worldwide through our mergers and acquisitions and process development to support next generation products. As a percentage of net sales, research and development expense increased to 11.5% in 2005 from 9.0% in 2004.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company recorded a one-time charge of $36.2 million of restructuring and impairment charges associated with the Company’s initiative to focus on its core businesses and streamline the organization. The amount included $33.5 million for asset impairment and $2.7 million for restructuring.

Other Income (Expense)

Net Interest Expense. Net interest expense was $57.2 million in 2005, a $22.8 million or 66.3% increase from aggregated interest expense of $34.4 million in 2004, which consisted of $17.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and $16.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004. The increase in net interest expense was primarily due to interest expenses incurred on the long-term debt of $750.0 million, which was issued in December 2004 and outstanding throughout the year 2005.

Net Foreign Currency Gain. Net foreign currency gain for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $16.5 million, compared to $35.7 for the year ended December 31, 2004. A substantial portion of our net foreign currency gain for 2005 was non-cash translation gain recorded for intercompany borrowings at one of our subsidiaries.

Income Tax Expenses

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $1.8 million in 2005, compared to $6.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004 and $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, which on an aggregate basis totaled $9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 was primarily attributable to $5.2 million of Korean withholding tax on the interest

Table of Contents

income paid to our Korean subsidiary’s parent company. Income tax expense including this withholding tax was partially offset by the recognition of a deferred tax asset at our Japanese subsidiaries based on temporary difference related to revenue recognition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal capital requirements are to fund working capital needs, to meet required debt payments, including debt service payments on the notes and, if drawn upon, the senior credit facility, and to invest in research and development and capital equipment. We anticipate that operating cash flow, together with available borrowing capacity under our senior credit facility, will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs, our research and development and capital expenditures needs and service requirements on our debt obligations for the foreseeable future. As of December 31, 2006 we had total long-term debt outstanding of $750.0 million.

Our principle sources of liquidity are our cash, cash equivalents and available borrowings under our senior credit facility of $100 million. As of December 31, 2006 our cash and cash equivalents balance was $89.2 million or 11.6% of our total assets, a $2.6 million increase from $86.6 million or 8.3% of total assets as of December 31, 2005. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was due to cash inflow from operating activities coupled with an increase from foreign currency translation gains, mostly offset by cash outflows for capital expenditures and other investing activities.

We generated cash from operating activities of $30.5 million during the year 2006, which principally reflects the Company’s net loss of $229.3 million adjusted by $247.2 million of total non-cash items composed mainly of depreciation and amortization expenses and impairment charges. Cash from operating activities for 2006 decreased $73.1 million from $103.6 million for 2005. This decrease in cash from operating activities between the two periods was primarily due to 52.4% lower gross profits mitigated by a decrease in working capital during the year 2006.

Our working capital balance as of December 31, 2006 was $122.6 million compared to $141.4 million as of December 31, 2005. The decrease of $18.8 million in our working capital balance consisted primarily of a $35.4 million decrease in accounts receivable and $30.8 million decrease in inventories, partially offset by a $34.5 million decrease in accounts and other accounts payable and $5.3 million decrease in accrued expenses. This decrease in working capital is mainly attributable to a 20.6% decline in total net sales.

For investing activities, we used cash of approximately $33.4 million in 2006 compared to $64.1 million in 2005. The decrease in cash used for investing activities during the year 2006 was primarily attributable to lower capital equipment expenditures during the year. Cash outflows for acquisitions of subsidiaries in 2005 in an effort to reinforce global R&D capability also led to a higher investing cash outlay in 2005. We did not consummate any business acquisitions during the year 2006. Capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $41.4 million, a decrease of $23.1 million or 35.8% compared to $64.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. This year over year decrease was a result of managing capital expenditure timing in order to better support the growth of our business from new customers and to optimize returns on investment.

For financing activities, we used $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $12.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. As we had sufficient capital resources available to serve our capital requirements we did not have significant financing activities during the year 2006. The cash outlay in 2006 was mainly due to our repurchase of common units upon termination of certain of our management and employees. Cash outflow in 2005 was mainly for the repayment of short-term borrowings at one of our subsidiaries that we acquired during the year.

Future Financing Activities. Our primary future capital requirements on a recurring basis will be funding working capital needs, meeting required debt payments, funding research and development, and capital expenditures. We anticipate that operating cash flows, together with available borrowings under our senior credit

facility, will be sufficient to meet these capital requirements for the foreseeable future. We may from time to time incur additional debt.

We may need to incur additional debt or issue equity to make strategic acquisitions of investments. However, we cannot assure you that such financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or that such financing will be available at all.

The Floating Rate Second Priority Senior Secured Notes of $300 million and Second Priority Senior Secured Notes of $200 million mature in 2011, while the Senior Subordinated Notes of $250 million mature in 2014. Interest rates are 3 month LIBOR + 3.25%, 6 7/8% and 8%, respectively. These notes will be paid in full upon maturity.

Each indenture governing the notes contains covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to (i) incur additional indebtedness, (ii) pay dividends or make other distributions on its capital stock or repurchase, repay or redeem its capital stock, (iii) make certain investments, (iv) incur liens, (v) enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates, (vi) create restrictions on the payment of dividends or other amounts to the Company by its subsidiaries, and (vii) sell all or substantially all of its assets or merge with or into other companies.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

On December 23, 2004, two of the Company’s subsidiaries, MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A. and MagnaChip Semiconductor Finance Company entered into a senior credit agreement with a syndicate of banks, financial institutions and other entities providing for a $100 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The undrawn portion of such senior secured credit line as of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were $93.8 million and $83 million, respectively. The utilized portions of the credit line are related to the issuance of letters of credit rather than cash drawdowns.

Other than the senior credit facility, there are no material off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plan—an amendment of SFAS No.87, 88, 106 and 132(R). This Statement requires an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit post retirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position, and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. SFAS No. 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2007.

Table of Contents

We do not expect that the implementation of SFAS No. 158 will have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 requires companies to disclose the fair value of its financial instruments according to a fair value hierarchy, as defined and may be required to provide additional disclosures based on that hierarchy. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption may have on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC issued SAB No. 108 which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. The guidance is applicable for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. We do not expect that adoption of SAB 108 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of SFAS No. 109. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertain income tax positions accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109. The Interpretation stipulates recognition and measurement criteria in addition to classification, interim period accounting and significantly expanded disclosure provisions for uncertain tax positions that are expected to be taken in a company’s tax return. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption may have on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. This Statement addresses the accounting for recognized servicing assets and liabilities related to certain transfers of the servicer’s financial assets and for acquisitions or assumptions of obligations to service financial assets that do not relate to the financial assets of the servicer and its related parties. SFAS No. 156 requires that all recognized servicing assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and subsequently measured at either fair value or by applying an amortization method for each class of recognized servicing assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 156 is effective in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 156 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. This Statement amends SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 140, and improves the financial reporting of certain hybrid financial instruments by requiring more consistent accounting. Specifically, this Statement allows fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. This Statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires our management to make significant judgments and estimates that affect our financial position and results of operations. For a summary of our significant accounting policies, including the accounting policies discussed below, see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue Recognition

Our revenue is derived from the sale of semiconductor products we design and the manufacture of semiconductor wafers for third parties. We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement

 

31


Table of Contents

exists, the product has been delivered and title and risk of loss have transferred, the price is fixed and determinable, and collection of resulting receivables is reasonably assured. For certain distributors, standard products are sold without rights to return products or stock rotation or price protection rights. Our policy is to recognize revenue upon delivery of products to customers, where shipment represents the point when the rights and risks of ownership have passed to the customer, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered, the price is fixed or determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Specialty foundry services are performed pursuant to manufacturing agreements and purchase orders. Standard products are shipped and sold based upon purchase orders from customers. All amounts billed to a customer related to shipping and handling are classified as sales, while all costs incurred by us for shipping and handling are classified as expenses.

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make payment. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, additional allowances may be required. We record warranty liabilities for the estimated costs that may be incurred under our limited warranty. This warranty covers product defects based on compliance to our specifications and is normally applicable for twelve months from the date of purchase. These liabilities are recorded when related revenue is recognized. Warranty costs include the costs to replace the defective product. Factors that affect our warranty liability include the historical and anticipated rate of warranty claims on those repairs and the cost per claim to satisfy our warranty obligations. As these factors are impacted by actual experience and future expectations, we periodically assess the adequacy of our recorded warranty liabilities and adjust the amounts as necessary.

Inventory Valuation

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, using the average cost method, which approximates the first in, first out method. If net realizable value is less than cost at the balance sheet date, the carrying amount is reduced to the realizable value, and the difference is recognized as a loss on valuation of inventories under cost of sales. We estimate the net realizable value for such finished goods and work-in-progress based on current invoice prices. Inventory reserves are established when conditions indicate that the net realizable value is less than cost due to physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels, or other causes. Reserves are also established for excess inventory based on inventory levels in excess of six months of projected demand, as judged by management, for each specific product.

In addition, as prescribed in SFAS No. 151, the cost of inventories is determined based on the normal capacity of each fabrication facility. In case the capacity utilization is lower than a certain level, that the management believes to be normal, the fixed overhead costs per production unit which exceeds those under normal capacity, are charged to cost of sales rather than capitalized as inventories.

Useful Lives of Tangible and Intangible Assets

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Buildings and related structures are depreciated over the 10 to 40 year periods. Machinery, equipment and other assets including vehicles are depreciated over the estimated useful lives ranging 5 to 10 years.

Upon the Original Acquisition, machinery, equipment and other assets were assumed from Hynix, approximately 50% depreciated. Accordingly, remaining useful lives of these assets were determined at approximately 50% of initial useful lives.

Our intangible assets represent rights under patents, trademarks, property use rights, customer relationship and technology, and are amortized over the periods of benefit, ranging up to 10 years, on a straight-line basis.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review the carrying value of fixed assets for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and/or disposition. Factors which could trigger an impairment review include the following: (i) significant negative industry or economic trends, (ii) exiting an activity in conjunction with a restructuring of operations, (iii) current, historical or projected losses that demonstrate continuing losses associated with an asset, and (iv) management’s assessment of future manufacturing capacity requirements. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment charge is recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. The estimation of future cash flows involves numerous assumptions, which require our judgment, including, but not limited to, future use of the assets for our operations versus sale or disposal of the assets, future-selling prices for our products and future production and sales volumes. In addition, we must use our judgment in determining the groups of assets for which impairment tests are separately performed.

Restructuring Charges

We recognize restructuring charges in accordance with SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. Certain costs and expenses related to exit or disposal activities are recorded as restructuring charges when liabilities for those costs and expenses are incurred.

Income taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. SFAS No. 109 requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in a company’s financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

We established valuation allowances for deferred tax assets at most of our subsidiaries since, other than with respect to one particular subsidiary, it is not probable that a majority of the deferred tax assets will be realizable. The valuation allowance at this particular subsidiary was not set up since it is expected that the deferred tax assets at this subsidiary will be deemed realizable based on the current prospects for its future taxable income.

Unit-based Compensation

In 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective application method and began to account for unit-based compensation based on a fair value method. Under the provision of SFAS No. 123(R), unit-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair-value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period of the award. Consistent with prior-period pro forma presentation under SFAS No. 123, we use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value options. In developing assumptions for fair value calculation under SFAS No. 123(R), we use estimates based on historical data and market information. A small change in the assumptions used in the estimate can cause a relatively significant change in the fair value calculation.

The valuation of our common unit is based on an independent appraisal from a third party and is updated reflecting the changes in our financial results and prospects. Determination of the fair value of our common units involves complex and subjective judgments. If we make different judgments or adopt different assumptions, material differences could result in the timing and amount of the unit-based compensation expenses recorded because the estimated fair value of the underlying units for the options granted would be different.

Segment Information

We have determined, based on the nature of our operations and products offered to customers, that our reportable segments are Display Solutions, Imaging Solutions, and Semiconductor Manufacturing Services. Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) as defined by SFAS 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, allocates resources to and assesses the performance by these segments. Prior to 2006, we had a single reportable segment—semiconductor manufacturing.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market conditions, including changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. In the normal course of our business, we are subject to market risk associated with interest rate movements and currency movements on our assets and liabilities.

Foreign Currency Risk. We have exposure to foreign currency exchange-rate fluctuations on net income from our subsidiaries denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars, as our foreign subsidiaries in Korea, Taiwan, China, Japan and Hong Kong use local currency as their functional currency. From time to time these subsidiaries have cash and financial instruments in local currency. The amounts held in Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and China are not material in regards to foreign currency movements. However, based on the cash and financial instruments balance at December 31, 2006 for our Korean subsidiary, a 10% devaluation of the Korean Won against the U.S. dollar would have resulted in a decrease of $3.2 million in our U.S. dollar financial instruments balance and cash balance.

Interest Rate Risk. The $200 million 6 7/8% Second Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2011 and the $250 million 8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 are subject to changes in fair value due to interest rate changes. If the market interest rate had decreased by 10% and all other variables were held constant from their levels at December 31, 2006, we estimate that we would have additional interest expense costs over the market rate of $2.8 million (360 days basis). The fair value of these fixed rate notes would have decreased by $8.6 million or increased by $8.9 million with a 10% increase or decrease in the interest rate, respectively.

Cash Flow Interest Rate Risk. In 2005, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to convert the variable interest rate on our Floating Rate Second Priority Senior Secured Notes to a fixed interest rate for the periods to maturity date of June 2008. With this interest rate swap, cash flow interest rate risk was replaced with exposure to interest rate risk. For details, refer to “Note 9. Long-term Borrowings.”

1. General

The Company

MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC and its subsidiaries (successor company) (the “Company”) is a leading designer, developer and manufacturer of mixed-signal and digital multimedia semiconductors addressing the convergence of consumer electronics and communication devices.

The Company operates in three segments—Display Solutions, Imaging Solutions and Semiconductor Manufacturing Services. The Display Solutions segment offers flat panel display drivers for the entire product range of small to large panel displays, including mobile handsets, handheld gaming devices, PDAs, displays for desktop and mobile computer monitors and flat panel televisions. The Imaging Solutions segment addresses a broad spectrum of consumer electronics products ranging from camera-equipped mobile handsets to personal computer webcams, offering VGA, 1.3, 2.1 and 3.2 megapixel CMOS image sensors. The Semiconductor Manufacturing Services segment uses the Company’s process technology and manufacturing facilities to manufacture semiconductor wafers for third parties based on their designs. The Company has five wafer fabrication facilities located in Cheongju and Gumi in the Republic of Korea.

MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC was created on November 26, 2003 and was capitalized on September 10, 2004 under the laws of the State of Delaware. It was created with the sole purpose of acquiring the non-memory business (the “Business”) of Hynix Semiconductor Inc. (“Hynix”), which acquisition was completed with effect from October 1, 2004 (the “Original Acquisition”).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements are summarized below.

For the periods as of and prior to September 30, 2004, the accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented on a carve-out basis reflecting the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and changes in owner’s equity and cash flows that were directly attributable to the Business of Hynix (predecessor company), which was purchased on October 6, 2004. The Company has used October 1, 2004, as the effective date of the Original Acquisition since the financial results from October 1, 2004 onwards accrue to its benefit.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company including its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements and disclosures. The most significant estimates and assumptions relate to the useful life of property, plant and equipment, allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, contingent liabilities, inventory valuation, restructuring accrual and impairment of long-lived assets. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may be different from the estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company has assessed in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation, the functional currency of each of its subsidiaries in Luxembourg, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom and has designated the U.S. dollar to be their respective functional currencies. The Company and its other subsidiaries are utilizing their local currencies as their functional currencies. The financial statements of the subsidiaries in functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into the U.S. dollar in accordance with SFAS No. 52. All the assets and liabilities are translated to the U.S. dollar at the end-of-period exchange rates. Capital accounts are determined to be of a permanent nature and are therefore translated using historical exchange rates. Revenues and expenses are translated using average exchange rates. Foreign currency translation adjustments arising from differences in exchange rates from period to period are included in the foreign currency translation adjustment account in accumulated comprehensive income (loss) of unitholders’ equity. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are included as a component of other income (expense) in the statement of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less.

Accounts receivable reserves

An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on the aggregate estimated collectibility of their accounts receivable. The Company records an allowance for cash returns, presented within accounts receivable, based on the historical experience of the amount of goods that will be returned and refunded. In addition, the Company also includes in accounts receivable, an allowance for additional products that may have to be provided, free of charge, to compensate customers for products that do not meet previously agreed yield criteria, the low yield compensative reserve.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, using the average cost method, which approximates the first in, first out method (“FIFO”). If net realizable value is less than cost at the balance sheet date, the carrying amount is reduced to the realizable value, and the difference is recognized as a loss on valuation of inventories within cost of sales. Inventory reserves are established when conditions indicate that the net realizable value is less than costs due to physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels, or other causes. Reserves are also established for excess inventory based on inventory levels in excess of six months of projected demand, as judged by management, for each specific product.

In addition, as prescribed in SFAS No. 151, the cost of inventories is determined based on the normal capacity of each fabrication facility. In case the capacity utilization is lower than a certain level, that the management believes to be normal, the fixed overhead costs per production unit which exceeds those under normal capacity, are charged to cost of sales rather than capitalized as inventories.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as set forth below.

 

Buildings

   30 - 40 years

Building related structures

   10 - 20 years

Machinery and equipment

   5 - 10 years

Vehicles and others

   5 years

Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures that enhance the value or significantly extend the useful lives of the related assets are capitalized.

Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period of assets are capitalized as part of the related assets.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews property, plant and equipment and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of its carrying amount with the future net cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value of the assets and the fair value of assets using the present value of the future net cash flows generated by the respective long-lived assets.

Restructuring Charges

The Company recognizes restructuring charges in accordance with SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. Certain costs and expenses related to exit or disposal activities are recorded as restructuring charges when liabilities for those costs and expenses are incurred.

Lease Transactions

The Company accounts for lease transactions as either operating leases or capital leases, depending on the terms of the underlying lease agreements. Machinery and equipment acquired under capital lease agreements are recorded at cost as property, plant and equipment and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. In addition, the aggregate lease payments are recorded as capital lease obligations, net of unaccrued interest. Interest is amortized over the lease period using the effective interest rate method. Leases that do not qualify as capital leases are classified as operating leases, and the related rental payments are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Software

The Company capitalizes certain external costs that are incurred to purchase and implement internal-use computer software. Direct costs relating to the development of software for internal use are capitalized after technological feasibility has been established, in accordance with Statement Of Position (“SOP”) No. 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over five years.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets acquired from Hynix include technology and customer relationships which are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from 4 to 8 years. Other intellectual property assets acquired represent rights under patents, trademarks and property use rights and are amortized over the periods of benefit, ranging up to 10 years, on a straight-line basis.

Fair Value Disclosures of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair value of financial instruments is determined by the Company, using available market information and valuation methodologies considered to be appropriate. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Carrying amounts of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these financial instruments.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s debt was $612.6 million, $738.8 million and $750.0 million as of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The fair value estimates presented herein were based on market interest rates and other market information available to management as of each balance sheet date presented. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The approximate fair values do not take into consideration expenses that could be incurred in an actual settlement. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

Accrued Severance Benefits

The majority of accrued severance benefits is for employees in the Company’s Korean subsidiary. Pursuant to the Labor Standards Act of Korea, most employees and executive officers with one or more years of service are entitled to severance benefits upon the termination of their employment based on their length of service and rate of pay. As of December 31, 2006, 97% of all employees of the Company were eligible for severance benefits.

Accrued severance benefits are funded through a group severance insurance plan. The amounts funded under this insurance plan are classified as a deduction to the accrued severance benefits. Subsequent accruals are to be funded at the discretion of the Company.

In accordance with the National Pension Act of the Republic of Korea, a certain portion of accrued severance benefits is deposited with the National Pension Fund and deducted from the accrued severance benefits. The contributed amount is refunded to employees from the National Pension Fund upon their retirement.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered and title and risk of loss have transferred, the price is fixed and determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Utilizing these criteria, product revenue is generally recognized upon delivery of the product at the end-customer’s location when the risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the customer. Revenue is deferred from sales to distributors until the product is ultimately sold to the end-customer.

All amounts billed to a customer related to shipping and handling are classified as sales while all costs incurred by the Company for shipping and handling are classified as selling expenses. The amounts charged to selling expenses are $1,332 thousand and $1,867 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, $412 thousand for the three-month period ended December 31, 2004 (successor company) and $1,394 thousand for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 (predecessor company).

Derivative Financial instruments

The Company’s primary objective for holding derivative financial instruments is to manage cash flow risk inherent in debts with variable interest rates. The company recognizes all derivative financial instruments at fair value as either assets or liabilities and reports changes in the fair value of those instruments in earnings or other comprehensive income depending on whether they meet the criteria for designation as hedging transactions under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended.

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $81 thousand and $310 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, $173 thousand for the three-month period ended December 31, 2004 (successor company), and $71 thousand for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 (predecessor company).

Product Warranties

The Company records, in other current liabilities, warranty liabilities for the estimated costs that may be incurred under its basic limited warranty. This warranty covers defective products, and related liabilities are accrued when product revenues are recognized. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and repair costs per claim to satisfy the Company’s warranty obligation. As these factors are impacted by actual experience and future expectations, the Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts when necessary.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and include wafer, masks, employee expense, contractor fees, building costs, utilities, and administrative expenses.

Licensed Patents and Technologies

The Company has entered into a number of royalty agreements to license patents and technology used in the design and manufacture of its products. The payments under these agreements include an initial payment to acquire the rights, and a royalty payment, calculated based upon the sales of the related products. The initial payments, usually paid in installments, represents a non-refundable commitment, such that the total present value of these payments is recorded as a liability upon execution of the agreement, and the costs are deferred over the period of the agreement. The royalty payments are charged to the statement of operations as incurred.

Unit-Based Compensation (Successor Company)

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment (revised 2004). As the Company elected to use the modified prospective application method, no restatement was made to the consolidated statements of operations for prior periods. Under SFAS 123(R), unit-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. As permitted under SFAS No. 123(R), the Company elected to recognize compensation expense for all options with graded vesting based on the graded attribution method.

Prior to 2006, the Company accounted for its unit-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and provided the required pro forma disclosures of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.

(Tabular dollars in thousands, except unit data)

 

As the exercise prices for all option grants were in excess of the fair value of the underlying units on the respective grant dates, no compensation cost was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2005 and for the three months ended December 31, 2004.

Consistent with the valuation method for the disclosure-only provisions of FAS No. 123, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing-model to measure the grant-date-fair-value of options. The Black-Scholes model requires certain assumptions to determine an option’s fair value, including expected term, risk free interest, expected volatility and fair value of underlying common unit. The expected term of each option grant was based on employees’ expected exercises and post-vesting employment termination behavior and the risk free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve for the period corresponding with the expected term at the time of grant. The expected volatility was estimated using historical volatility of share prices of similar public entities. No dividends were assumed for this calculation of option value. The fair value of the underlying common unit is determined based on an independent appraisal from a third party and is updated to reflect changes in the Company’s financial results and prospects.

Stock option Plan (Predecessor Company)

Stock options under employee stock plans prior to the Original Acquisition were accounted for using the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. As part of the presentation of the Business on a carve-out basis, stock compensation was allocated to the Business based on the employees that historically have worked in the Business. The compensation cost for the Business was $3,324 thousand for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004.

Earnings per Unit

In accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, the Company computes basic earnings per unit by dividing net income available to common unitholders by the weighted average number of common units outstanding during the period which would include to the extent their effect is dilutive: redeemable convertible preferred units, options to purchase common units and warrants to purchase common units. Diluted earnings per unit reflect the dilution of potential common units outstanding during the period. In determining the hypothetical units repurchased, the Company uses the average unit price for the period.

Income Taxes

MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC has elected to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and therefore is not subject to income taxes on its income. Taxes on its income are the responsibility of the individual equity owners of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC. The Company operates a number of subsidiaries, which are subject to local income taxes in those markets.

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. SFAS No. 109 requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in a company’s financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Segment Information

The Company has determined, based on the nature of its operations and products offered to customers, that its reportable segments are Display Solutions, Imaging Solutions, and Semiconductor Manufacturing Services. The Display Solutions segment’s primary products are flat panel display drivers and the Imaging Solutions segment’s primary products are CMOS image sensors. The Semiconductor Manufacturing Service segment provides for wafer foundry services to clients. Net sales and gross profit for the “All other” category primarily relates to certain business activities that do not constitute operating or reportable segments.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) as defined by SFAS 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, allocates resources to and assesses the performance of each segment using information about its revenue and gross profit. The Company does not identify or allocate assets by segments, nor does the CODM evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information. In addition, the Company does not allocate operating expenses, interest income or expense, other income or expense, or income tax expenses to the segments. Management does not evaluate segments based on these criteria.

Prior to 2006, the Company had a single reportable segment. In 2006, subsequent to the appointment of our new CODM, the Company changed the manner in which the CODM reviewed the Company’s operational results and made significant business decisions to include disaggregated financial information of its three primary business units. Segment information for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was prepared in conformity with the current segment structure.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral for customers on accounts receivable. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses, but historically has not experienced significant losses related to individual customers or groups of customers in any particular industry or geographic area. The Company derives a substantial portion of its revenues from export sales through its overseas subsidiaries in Asia, North America and Europe.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plan – an amendment of SFAS No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R). This Statement requires an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit post retirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position, and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. SFAS 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2007. The Company does not expect that the implementation of SFAS No. 158 will have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 requires companies to disclose the fair value of their financial instruments according to a fair value hierarchy, as defined and may be required to provide additional disclosures based on that hierarchy. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108 which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior

year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. The guidance is applicable for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The Company does not expect that adoption of SAB 108 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of SFAS No. 109. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertain income tax positions accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109. The Interpretation stipulates recognition and measurement criteria in addition to classification and interim period accounting. The Interpretation significantly expanded disclosure provisions for uncertain tax positions that are expected to be taken in a company’s tax return. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. This Statement addresses the accounting for recognized servicing assets and liabilities related to certain transfers of the servicer’s financial assets and for acquisitions or assumptions of obligations to service financial assets that do not relate to the financial assets of the servicer and its related parties. SFAS 156 requires that all recognized servicing assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and subsequently measured at either fair value or by applying an amortization method for each class of recognized servicing assets and liabilities. SFAS 156 is effective in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 156 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. This Statement amends SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 140, and improves the financial reporting of certain hybrid financial instruments by requiring more consistent accounting. Specifically, this Statement allows fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. This Statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect that adoption of this Statement will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Original Acquisition

On October 6, 2004, the Company completed its purchase of the Business, as outlined in the Business Transfer Agreement, as amended (the “BTA”) from Hynix, for cash, liabilities assumed, plus a warrant to purchase 5,079,254 common equity interests in the Company, valued by independent valuation. In October 2005, the Company agreed to pay Hynix an additional $6,238 thousand in cash as a working capital settlement payment. This additional amount, which was paid in full subsequently in October 2005, was included as part of the purchase consideration and therefore acquisition costs of related assets were subsequently adjusted.

Intellectual property assets

     7,928    5.2 years
         
   $ 206,598    6.7 years
         

At the date of the Original Acquisition, the Company obtained an independent valuation of the acquired property, plant and equipment and the acquired intangible assets, to ascertain the fair value of these assets, and in addition, applied adjustments to the book value of the other assets and liabilities transferred from Hynix to calculate the total fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired. The Company also re-assessed the remaining useful lives of the acquired property, plant and equipment, and commenced depreciation on a straight-line basis, using the remaining useful lives of the acquired property, plant and equipment and acquired intangibles.

The aggregate fair values obtained exceeded the total purchase consideration of $763,378 thousand, and this difference was applied to the Company’s intangible and non-current tangible assets on a pro-rata basis, such that the adjusted fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired equaled the total purchase consideration, with no residual negative goodwill.

The senior secured revolving credit facility and Second Priority Senior Secured Notes are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company. These notes will be paid in full upon maturity.

Each indenture governing the notes contains covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to (i) incur additional indebtedness, (ii) pay dividends or make other distributions on its capital stock or repurchase, repay or redeem its capital stock, (iii) make certain investments, (iv) incur liens, (v) enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates, (vi) create restrictions on the payment of dividends or other amounts to the Company by its subsidiaries, and (vii) sell all or substantially all of its assets or merge with or into other companies.

Borrowings under the senior secured credit facility are subject to significant conditions, including compliance with financial ratios and other covenants and obligations.

As of December 31, 2006, the Company and all of its subsidiaries except for MagnaChip Semiconductor (Shanghai) Company Limited have jointly and severally guaranteed each series of the Second Priority Senior Secured Notes on a second priority senior secured basis. As of December 31, 2006, the Company and all of its subsidiaries except for MagnaChip Semiconductor Ltd. (Korea) and MagnaChip Semiconductor (Shanghai) Company Limited have jointly and severally guaranteed the Senior Subordinated Notes on an unsecured, senior subordinated basis. In addition, the Company and each of its current and future direct and indirect subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions) will be guarantors of Second Priority Senior Secured Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes.

In connection with the issuance of the notes and obtaining of the credit facility, the Company capitalized certain costs and fees, which are being amortized using the effective interest method or straight-line method over their respective terms, 2009 to 2014. Amortization costs, which were included in interest expense in the accompanying statements of operations, amounted to $3,701 thousand, $3,432 thousand and $167 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the three-month period ended December 31, 2004, respectively. The remaining capitalized costs as of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $21,860 thousand, $25,113 thousand and $27,812 thousand, respectively. In addition, in connection with the repayment of the assumed debt from Hynix, the Company wrote off $4,084 thousand of previously capitalized financing fees for the three-month period ended December 31, 2004. These amounts have all been included in interest expense in the accompanying statement of operations.

On December 29, 2006, the Company entered into the Fifth Amendment to Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of December 29, 2006 (the “Fifth Amendment”), with MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A. and MagnaChip Semiconductor Finance Company, as borrowers, the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto, the Lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), and UBS AG, Stamford Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Agent”). Under the Fifth Amendment, among other things, (i) the Company agreed to furnish to the Agent and the Lenders (a) monthly liquidity and flash revenue reports along with an officer’s

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

certificate, (b) monthly narrative reports and management’s discussion and analysis regarding the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations, and (c) monthly reports regarding the cash accounts maintained by the Company and its subsidiaries; and (ii) the existing financial covenants set forth in Section 6.10 of the Credit Agreement were revised and additional financial covenants related to minimum EBITDA and liquidity requirements were added. The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Fifth Amendment, which is referenced herein as Exhibit 10.3.e to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

On March 26, 2007, the Company entered into the Sixth Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of March 26, 2007 (the “Sixth Amendment”), with MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A. and MagnaChip Semiconductor Finance Company, as borrowers, the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto, the Lenders party thereto, and the Agent. Under the Sixth Amendment, among other things, the existing financial covenants set forth in Section 6.10 of the Credit Agreement were revised to provide that authorized but unspent capital expenditures in a calendar quarter during 2007 carry over to increase the authorized limit on capital expenditures in successive quarters.

Interest Rate Swap

Effective June 27, 2005, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the “Swap”) that converted the variable interest rate based on the 3-month London Inter-bank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 3.25% to fixed interest rate on the Company’s Floating Rate Second Priority Senior Secured Notes (the “Notes”). This Swap will be in effect until 15 June, 2008.

The Swap qualifies as a cash flow hedge under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended. The Company is utilizing the “hypothetical derivative method” to measure the effectiveness by comparing the changes in value of the actual derivative versus the change in fair value of the “hypothetical derivative.” Under this methodology, the actual swap was effective when compared to the hypothetical hedge.

Changes in fair value of the Swap are recorded under other comprehensive income in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company recorded a decrease in the fair value of $193 thousand and an increase in the fair value of $4,534 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. In addition, the Company recognized interest income of $2,944 thousand and interest expense of $550 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, which represents the differences between fixed and variable rates.

The Series B were issued to the original purchasers of the Company in 2004. Holders of Series B receive dividends which are cumulative, whether or not earned or declared by the board of directors. The cumulative cash dividends accrue at the rate of 10% per unit per annum on the Series B original issue price, compounded semi-annually.

Conversion

The outstanding Series B units are convertible, in whole or in part, into common equity interests upon or concurrently with the first public offering of the common equity interests of the Company at the Company’s option or the holder’s option based on a formula, represented by the conversion ratio. The conversion ratio for the Series B units is an amount equal to the original issue price per unit plus an amount per unit equal to full cumulative dividends accrued and unpaid to the date of the consummation of the first public offering, divided by the per common equity interest price to the public in the Company’s first public offering of equity securities.

Dividends

Holders of Series B receive dividends which are cumulative, whether or not earned or declared by the board of directors. The cumulative cash dividends accrue at the rate of 10% per unit per annum on the Series B original issue price, compounded semi-annually. Such dividends are payable in semi-annual installments in arrears commencing March 15, 2005.

Liquidation

In the event of liquidation, the holders of Series B are entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to its members, whether from capital, surplus or earnings, an amount equal to the Series B original issue price in cash per unit plus an amount equal to full cumulative dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution, and no more. If the net assets of the Company are insufficient to

pay the holders of all outstanding Series B and of any units ranking on a parity with the Series B, the full amounts to which they respectively shall be entitled, such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series B and any units ranking on a parity with the Series B in accordance with the amounts which would be payable on such distribution if the amount to which the holders of the Series B and any units ranking on a parity with the Series B are entitled were paid in full.

Voting

As provided in Company Operating Agreement, the holders of Series B shall not be entitled to vote on any matter submitted to a vote of the Members, and not be entitled to notice of any meeting of Members.

Redemption

If any outstanding Series B remain outstanding on the 14th anniversary after issuance of the Series B, then the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Series B shall have the right to elect to have the Company redeem all outstanding Series B from funds legally available, at a price per unit equal to $1,000 plus an amount per unit equal to full cumulative dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the redemption date.

Also the Series B may be redeemed from funds legally available, in whole or in part, at the election of the Company, expressed by resolution of the board of directors, at any time and from time to time at a price of $1,000 per unit plus any cumulative dividends accrued and unpaid.

12. Warrant

In connection with the Original Acquisition, the Company issued a warrant, which is recorded as additional paid in capital, to Hynix, which enables Hynix to purchase 5,079,254 common units of the Company. The value of each warrant to purchase one common unit is $0.414, which was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: fair value of $1.00 per unit; exercise price of $1.00 per unit; risk free rate of interest of 2.50%; volatility of 86%; dividend rate of 0%; and term of 2 years. This warrant expired unexercised in accordance with its terms on October 6, 2006.

13. Equity Incentive Plans

The Company adopted two equity incentive plans effective October 6, 2004 and March 21, 2005, respectively, which are administered by the Compensation Committee designated by the board of directors. Employees, consultants and non-employee directors are eligible for the grant of options to purchase the Company’s common units or restricted common units subject to terms and conditions determined by the Committee. The term of options in no event exceed ten years from the date of grant. As of December 31, 2006, an aggregate maximum of 7,890,864 common units were authorized and reserved for all future and outstanding grants of options.

Unit options are generally granted with exercise prices of no less than the fair market value of the Company’s common units on the grant date. Generally, options vest and become exercisable in periodic installments, with 25% of the options vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date and 6.25% of options vesting on the last day of each calendar quarter thereafter. In most cases, the requisite service period, or the period during which a grantee is required to provide service in exchange for option grants, coincides with the vesting period.

14. Restructuring and Impairment Charges

2006 Restructuring and Impairment Charges

During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company recorded restructuring and impairment charges totaling $94,266 thousand, which included $92,858 thousand of impairment charges under SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived assets and $1,408 thousand of restructuring charges under SFAS 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

The impairment charges of $92,540 thousand recorded during 2006 related to certain fixed assets and technology and customer-based intangible assets (the “asset group”) comprising our Imaging Solution business. At the end of fiscal year 2005, the capacity utilization of the Fab was under the level that we believe to be normal. This was primarily due to a transition in product mix coupled with a seasonal decrease in market demand, which was deemed to be temporary and recoverable. However, in 2006, our management determined, based on revised forecasting, that the projected demand for certain of its products was significantly less than previously forecasted and that this decline was not temporary or seasonal. Therefore, we assessed whether there had been a material impairment on the asset group pursuant to SFAS 144 and, based on the assessment, recorded impairment charges.

The impairment charge was measured as the excess of the carrying value of the asset group over its fair value. The fair value of the asset group was estimated using a present value technique, where expected future cash flows from the use and eventual disposal of the asset group were discounted by an interest rate commensurate with the risk of the cash flows. The net book value of the asset group before the impairment charges was approximately $185,985 thousand.

In addition, the Company recorded impairment charges in the amount of $318 thousand related to the disposition of certain assets previously designated as assets held-for-sale and $1,408 thousand of restructuring charges in connection with the termination of certain of our management and employees.

2005 Restructuring and Impairment Charges

During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company recorded $36,234 thousand of restructuring and impairment charges which included $33,576 thousand of asset impairments and $2,658 thousand of restructuring.

In an effort to focus on its major business segments - Display Solutions, Imaging Solutions and Semiconductor Manufacturing Services, the Company made a strategic decision to divest its Application Processor business. Based on such decision, the Company recognized impairment charges on certain tangible and intangible assets related to the divesture. The impairment charge was measured as the excess of the carrying value of the asset group over the fair value measured at the selling price of the assets.

In addition, the Company took a total of $2,658 thousand of restructuring charges which included early retirement costs and other related costs associated with the sale of Application Processor business.

15. Income Tax Expenses

The Company’s income tax expenses are composed of domestic and foreign income taxes depending on the relevant tax jurisdiction. For the Predecessor Company “Domestic” refers to the income before taxes, current income taxes and deferred income taxes generated or incurred in Korea. For the Successor Company, however, it refers to the income before taxes, current income taxes and deferred income taxes generated or incurred in the US, in which the ultimate parent of the Company resides.

The components of income tax expense are as follows:

The ultimate parent of the Company is a limited liability company, a non-taxable entity for US tax purposes and thus the statutory income tax rate shall be zero. A substantial portion of the income tax expenses above is incurred from MagnaChip Korea, which is the principal operating entity within the Company. The statutory income tax rate of MagnaChip Korea, including tax surcharges, applicable to the Company was approximately 27.5% in 2006 and 2005, which was reduced from 29.7% in 2004 in accordance with the Corporate Income Tax Law as amended on December 31, 2003. MagnaChip Korea is eligible for a tax exemption in which its corporate income tax is reduced by 50% from 2004 to 2006 and 30% from 2007 to 2008.

The income tax rate used to calculate the tax provision by the Predecessor Company was the statutory income tax rate of Korea, which was 29.7%. For the Successor Company, the statutory income tax rate is zero as its ultimate parent is a non-taxable US entity. The provision for domestic and foreign income taxes incurred is different from the amount calculated by applying the statutory tax rate to the net income before income taxes. The significant items causing this difference are as follows:

Ending balance

   $ 100,016    $ 42,695
             

Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that realization of the related tax benefit is more likely than not. Realization of the future tax benefits related to the deferred tax assets is dependent on many factors, including the Company’s ability to generate taxable income within the period during which the temporary differences reverse, the outlook for the economic environment in which the Company operates, and the overall future industry outlook. Based on the Company’s historical accounting and tax losses, management determined that it was more likely than not, that the Company would realize benefits related to its deferred tax assets in the amount of $10,167 thousand as of December 31, 2006 and $12,216 thousand as of December 31, 2005. Accordingly, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $100,016 thousand and $42,695 thousand on its net deferred tax assets for 2006 and 2005, respectively.

17. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Agreements with Hynix

In connection with the Original Acquisition, the Company entered into several definitive agreements with Hynix regarding key materials, campus facilities, research and development equipment and information technology, factory automation, wafer foundry services, and a non-exclusive cross license that provides the Company with access to certain of Hynix’s intellectual property for use in the manufacture and sale of non-memory semiconductor products. The Company also agreed to provide certain utilities and infrastructure support services to Hynix. The obligation to provide services under these agreements generally lasts for one to five years from the date of the Original Acquisition. The obligation to provide certain services lasts indefinitely.

Upon the closing of the Original Acquisition, MagnaChip Korea and Hynix also entered into lease agreements under which MagnaChip Korea leases from Hynix (i) certain exclusive-use space plus common- and joint-use space in several buildings, primarily warehouses and utility facilities, in Cheongju, Korea. These leases are generally for an initial term of 20 years plus an indefinite number of renewal terms of 10 years each. Each of the leases is cancelable upon 90 days’ notice by the lessee. The Company also leased from Hynix certain exclusive-use plus common-and joint-use land located in Cheongju, Korea. The term of this agreement is indefinite unless otherwise agreed between the both parties, and as long as the buildings remain on the lease site and are owned and used by the Company for permitted uses.

Operating Leases

The Company leases land, office building and equipments under various operating lease agreements that expire through 2034. Rental expenses were approximately $12,008 thousand and $13,913 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, $2,910 thousand for the three-month period ended December 31, 2004 (successor company) and $2,318 thousand and $1,556 thousand for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 (predecessor company), respectively.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. As defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that we use that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and our CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and our CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On March 26, 2007, the Company entered into the Sixth Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of March 26, 2007 (the “Sixth Amendment”), with MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A. and MagnaChip Semiconductor Finance Company, as borrowers, the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto, the Lenders party thereto, and UBS AG, Stamford Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent. Under the Sixth Amendment, among other things, the existing financial covenants set forth in Section 6.10 of the Credit Agreement were revised to provide that authorized but unspent capital expenditures in a calendar quarter during 2007 carry over to increase the authorized limit on capital expenditures in successive calendar quarters.

Termination of Material Definitive Agreement; Departure of an Officer

On March 23, 2007, Jason Hartlove resigned from his position as our Senior Vice President and General Manager, Imaging Solutions Division, effective March 9, 2007, and terminated that certain Service Agreement dated as of May 16, 2005, by and between Mr. Hartlove and MagnaChip Semiconductor, Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company. Under the termination arrangement, Mr. Hartlove will receive a severance payment equal to seven months of his base salary of $310,000 per annum.

Item 11. Executive Compensation.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Objectives. The Compensation Committee (for purposes of this section, the “Committee”) of our Board has overall responsibility for evaluating, approving, and monitoring our executive officer and director compensation plans, policies and programs, as well as all equity-based compensation plans and policies. The Committee

 

81


Table of Contents

ensures that the total compensation paid to executive officers is fair, reasonable, and competitive. Throughout this Form 10-K, the individuals who served as our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer during fiscal year 2006, as well as the other individuals included in the Summary Compensation Table within this Item 11, are referred to as the “named executive officers.”

The Committee evaluates our compensation packages to ensure that (i) we maintain our ability to attract and retain superior executives in critical positions, and (ii) compensation provided to critical executives remains competitive relative to the compensation paid to similarly situated executives of our peer companies. The Committee believes that the most effective executive compensation packages align executives’ interests with those of our unitholders by rewarding performance above specific annual, long-term, and strategic goals that are intended to improve unitholder value. These goals include, but are not limited to, achievement of financial performance targets and progress in projects that our Board of Directors anticipates will lead to future growth.

Determination of Compensation and Role of Executive Officers. We offer compensation to our named executive officers in the form of salary, cash incentives, equity incentives, and perquisites. In making decisions regarding the pay of the named executive officers, the Committee looks to set a total compensation package for each officer that will retain high-quality talent and motivate executives to achieve the goals set by our Board of Directors.

The Committee annually reviews the performance of the Chief Executive Officer, and the Chief Executive Officer annually reviews the performance every other executive officer. The Chief Executive Officer presents conclusions and recommendations regarding the named executive officers, including proposed salary adjustments and incentive amounts, to the Committee, which makes the final decision regarding any adjustments or awards. The Committee’s annual determinations regarding executive compensation are subject to the terms of the respective service agreements between us and the named executive officers. In addition to the annual reviews, the Chief Executive Officer and the Committee also typically consider compensation changes upon a named executive officer’s promotion or other change in job responsibility.

The Committee approves general guidelines and plans regarding the cash compensation of all other officers and employees, but has empowered the Chief Executive Officer to make final compensation decisions within the Committee guidelines and plans. The Committee makes all equity compensation decisions for our officers and employees.

In determining a compensation award, the Committee compares each element of total compensation against compensation offered by a group of peer companies in the semiconductor industry (collectively, the “Benchmark Group”). The composition of the Benchmark Group is determined annually by our Human Resources department in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer and the Committee. The Committee’s general objective is to provide a total cash compensation package, including base salary and incentive, slightly above the median total cash compensation package of the Benchmark Group. Variations to this objective may occur as dictated by the experience level of the individual and market factors.

Cash incentives comprise a significant portion of the total compensation package and are designed to reward executives for their contributions to meeting and exceeding our goals and to recognize and reward the accountability of our executives in achieving these goals. Incentives are designed as a percentage of base salary and are awarded based on individual performance and our achievement of the annual, long-term, and strategic goals set by our Board of Directors.

Equity Compensation. In addition to cash incentives, we offer equity incentives as a way to enhance the link between the creation of unitholder value and executive incentive compensation and to give executives appropriate motivation and rewards for achieving increases in enterprise value. The Committee may grant participants restricted units, unit options, and unit appreciation rights. Although the Committee granted certain restricted units awards upon the Original Acquisition, the Committee has determined that it will only grant

 

82


Table of Contents

restricted units in the future in exceptional cases. In granting equity awards, the Committee may establish any conditions or restrictions it deems appropriate. Grants of restricted units or unit options typically vest four years after the date of the grant, and all grants of our unit options are made at or above the fair market value of the units at the time of the grant. Vesting and exercise rights generally cease upon termination of employment. Prior to the exercise of a unit option, the holder has no rights as a unitholder with respect to the units subject to such option, including voting rights and the right to receive dividends or dividend equivalents.

Our unitholders and Board of Directors have delegated to the Committee the authority to grant unit option awards within a total pool of our common units available upon exercise of the unit options. The size of the option pool is based on market surveys of peer companies in a similar growth stage and on our unitholders’ determination of an appropriately-sized pool to ensure recruitment and retention of key executives and employees. Unit option award levels vary among participants based on their job grade and position. The Committee provides higher awards to those executives and employees in positions considered by the Committee to be critical. Unit option awards are not tied to base salary or cash incentive amounts.

At this time, the Committee does not grant additional equity compensation to existing executives as part of the normal annual review process. However, the Committee will consider additional equity compensation in the event of a promotion or change in job responsibility. Upon the recommendation of our Board of Directors or Chief Executive Officer, the Committee will from time to time consider performance-based equity incentives. For example, in March 2006, the Committee granted certain executives, including four of the named executive officers, unit options that begin vesting only upon the earlier of the closing of the initial public offering of our common equity or the date on which the Committee determines that the unitholders of the Company as of October 6, 2004, have achieved a 2.5x return on their investment.

Perquisites and Other Benefits. We provide the named executive officers with perquisites and other personal benefits that the Committee believes are reasonable and consistent with its overall compensation program to better enable us to attract and retain superior employees for key positions. Several of our named executive officers are assigned to locations outside their home countries and therefore receive expatriate benefits. The Committee determines the level and types of expatriate benefits for the officers based on local market surveys taken by our Human Resources department. Attributed costs of the personal benefits for the named executive officers are as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table below.

Tax and Accounting Implications. Beginning on January 1, 2006, we began accounting for unit-based payments, including our unit option program, in accordance with the requirements of FASB Statement No. 123(R).

Further Information Regarding Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table

As we discuss above in the “Compensation Disclosure and Analysis” subsection, our Board of Directors sets total cash compensation packages slightly above the median total cash compensation of the Benchmark Group, and sets equity awards in accordance with peer companies in a similar growth stage. Equity awards are not tied to base salary or cash incentive amounts, and will constitute lesser or greater proportions of total compensation depending on the fair value of the awards. Mr. Park, Mr. Krakauer, and Ms. Nam were expatriates during part or all of 2006 and received expatriate benefits commensurate with market practice in their assigned location of the Republic of Korea. The base salary and incentives for these named executive officers therefore constitute a lower proportion of total compensation in comparison to Mr. Hwang and Mr. Lee, both of whom reside in their home country.

The option grant to Mr. Park is described in the paragraph below labeled “Sang Park.” The option grants to Mr. Krakauer, Mr. Hartlove, Ms. Miller Nam, Mr. Hwang, and Mr. Lee were a performance-based incentive under the MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC Equity Incentive Plan and were intended by our Board of Directors to further encourage these named executive officers to progress MagnaChip toward an initial public offering of our common equity or other return on investment for our unitholders. The Board made the grants at an exercise price above the then-fair market value

of our common units. An installment of 25% of the common units subject to the options become vested and exercisable upon the earlier of: (i) the date of the first closing of a firmly underwritten public offering for any of our equity securities, and (ii) the date as designated in the sole discretion of the Committee as the date upon which our unitholders as of October 6, 2004, have achieved a 2.5x return on their investment. The remaining 75% of the common units subject to the options become vested and exercisable as to 25% of such common units on each of the first three successive annual anniversaries of the first vesting event, subject to the Grantee’s continuous employment from the grant date to each such vesting date. The options expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date.

Pursuant to the Labor Standards Act of Korea, certain executive officers resident in Korea with one or more years of service are entitled to severance benefits upon the termination of their employment for any reason. For purposes of this section, we call this benefit “statutory severance.” The base statutory severance is approximately one month of base salary per year of service. Ms. Miller Nam, Mr. Hwang, and Mr. Lee all accrue statutory severance. Prior to the Original Acquisition, Hynix attached a multiplier to the statutory severance amounts for former Hynix executives Mr. Hwang and Mr. Lee. Although our Board has determined that we will not offer a statutory severance multiplier to any executives, in the interests of fairness our Board permitted Mr. Hwang and Mr. Lee to accrue a statutory severance multiplier of 3x, i.e., triple their statutory severance, for their service from October 6, 2004 to September 20, 2006, after which the sole unitholder of our Korean subsidiary disclaimed the severance multiplier for former Hynix executives.

Other than Youm Huh and Jason Hartlove, our named executive officers are all parties to service agreements. The material terms of these agreements, and the equity compensation granted pursuant to these agreements, are as follows:

Sang Park. Sang Park serves as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MagnaChip with an initial base salary of $450,000 per year and with a target annual incentive bonus opportunity of 100% of his base salary. Mr. Park is entitled to customary employee benefits including the cost of housing accommodations and expenses, including relocation expenses. The term of the service agreement extends for two years from May 27, 2006, with such initial term automatically extending for additional two-year periods unless written notice is given by either party prior to the termination date. In accordance with the terms of his service agreement, Mr. Park received options to purchase 800,000 common units of the Company at a price of $1.02 per unit, the then-fair market value of a common unit. Twenty-five percent of Mr. Park’s options vest on the first anniversary of his service date and an additional 6.25% of the options vest at the end of each three month period thereafter on the same day of the month as the grant date or, if earlier, the last day of such month. If Mr. Park’s employment is terminated without cause or if he resigns for good reason, Mr. Park is entitled to receive payment of all salary and benefits accrued up to the date of termination, payment of his base salary for twelve months and annual incentive bonus for the year in which the termination occurs, twelve months’ accelerated vesting on outstanding equity awards, and continued participation in our benefit plans for twelve months. If such termination occurs in connection with a change in control, Mr. Park is entitled to receive payment of all salary and benefits accrued up to the date of termination, payment of his base salary for two years and annual incentive bonus for the year in which the termination occurs, two years’ accelerated vesting on outstanding equity awards, and continued participation in our benefit plans for two years. In the event of his termination as a result of death or disability, Mr. Park (or his beneficiaries) will be entitled to receive payment of all salary and benefits accrued up to the date of termination and a prorated portion of the annual incentive bonus for the year in which the termination occurs. If Mr. Park’s employment is terminated for cause or if he resigns without good reason, he will be entitled to receive payment of all salary and benefits accrued up to the date of termination and will not be entitled to any other compensation. The agreement also contains customary non-competition and non-solicitation covenants lasting two and three years, respectively, from the date of termination of employment and confidentiality covenants of unlimited duration.

Robert Krakauer. Mr. Krakauer serves as President and Chief Financial Officer of MagnaChip with an initial base salary of $375,000 per year and with a target annual incentive bonus opportunity of 100% of his base salary. Mr. Krakauer is entitled to customary employee benefits and, for so long as his place of business is

located in Korea, expatriate/repatriation benefits, including relocation expenses, tax equalization payments, cost of housing accommodations and expenses. The term of the service agreement extends for three years from October 6, 2004, with such initial term automatically extending for additional one-year periods unless written notice is given by either party prior to the termination date. In accordance with the terms of his service agreement, Mr. Krakauer was granted 682,247 immediately exercisable options for restricted common units of MagnaChip at a price of $1.00 per unit. Mr. Krakauer exercised his options on November 30, 2004. Under his restricted unit subscription agreement, restrictions on the units lapse as to 25% of the units on September 30, 2005 and as to 6.25% of the units on the last day of each calendar quarter thereafter, subject to his continuous employment with MagnaChip. The restrictions lapse as to all restricted units held by Mr. Krakauer upon a change in control after which Mr. Krakauer no longer serves as the Chief Financial Officer of MagnaChip. The restricted unit subscription agreements provide that the units are nontransferable and shall be subject to forfeiture upon termination of his employment. Upon termination, MagnaChip may repurchase any units for which the restrictions have not lapsed for $1.00, if termination is for cause (as defined in the agreement), or for fair market value, if termination is for any other reason. Mr. Krakauer has the right to vote the restricted units and to receive cash dividends, provided that dividends payable in units or other securities shall have the same status as restricted units. In connection with the exercise, Mr. Krakauer was entitled to a bonus of $677,293 to pay the exercise price of a portion of the options and an additional payment of $380,977 to cover U.S. federal income tax withholding related to such bonus. If Mr. Krakauer’s employment is terminated without cause or if he resigns for good reason, Mr. Krakauer is entitled to receive his base salary for twelve months, payment of a prorated portion of the annual incentive bonus for the year in which the termination occurs and continued participation in our benefit plans for twelve months. In the event of his termination as a result of death or disability, Mr. Krakauer (or his beneficiaries) will be entitled to receive payment of all salary and benefits accrued up to the date of termination and a prorated portion of the annual incentive bonus for the year in which the termination occurs. If Mr. Krakauer’s employment is terminated for cause or if he resigns without good reason, he will be entitled to receive payment of all salary and benefits accrued up to the date of termination and will not be entitled to any other compensation. The agreement also contains customary non-competition covenants lasting until the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of termination of employment or October 6, 2007, non-solicitation covenants lasting two years from the date of termination of employment and confidentiality covenants of unlimited duration.

Victoria Miller Nam. Ms. Miller Nam serves as the Senior Vice President of Strategic Planning of MagnaChip with an initial base salary of $300,000 per year and with a target annual incentive bonus opportunity of 75% of her base salary. Ms. Miller Nam is entitled to customary employee benefits. The term of the service agreement extends for three years from December 29, 2004, with such initial term automatically extending for additional one-year periods absent prior written notice given by either party. Ms. Miller Nam was granted 136,450 immediately exercisable options for restricted common units of MagnaChip at a price of $1.00 per unit. Ms. Miller Nam exercised her options on November 30, 2004. Under her restricted unit subscription agreement, restrictions on the units lapse as to 25% of the units on September 30, 2005 and as to 6.25% of the units on the last day of each calendar quarter thereafter, subject to her continuous employment with MagnaChip. The restricted unit subscription agreements provide that the units are nontransferable and shall be subject to forfeiture upon termination of the officer’s employment. Upon termination, MagnaChip may repurchase any units for which the restrictions have not lapsed for $1.00, if termination is for cause (as defined in the agreement), or for fair market value, if termination is for any other reason. Ms. Miller Nam has the right to vote the restricted units and to receive cash dividends, provided that dividends payable in units or other securities shall have the same status as restricted units. If Ms. Miller Nam’s service is terminated without cause or if she resigns for good reason, Ms. Miller Nam will be entitled to receive her base salary for six months, payment of the annual incentive bonus in a prorated amount based on the number of days she was actually employed by us, continued participation in our benefit plans for six months, each of the foregoing net of any statutory severance accrued and payable, and, if such a termination or resignation occurs either prior to October 1, 2005 or within the twelve month period following a change of control, restrictions lapse with respect to 25% of her restricted common units on the date of termination. In the event of her termination as a result of death or disability, Ms. Miller Nam (or her beneficiaries) will be entitled to receive payment of all salary and benefits accrued up to the date of

termination and a prorated portion of the annual incentive bonus for the year in which the termination occurs. If Ms. Miller Nam’s service is terminated for cause or if she resigns without good reason, she will be entitled to receive payment of all salary and benefits accrued up to the date of termination and will not be entitled to any other compensation. All severance payable pursuant to Ms. Miller Nam’s service agreement will be offset by any accrued statutory severance. The agreement also contains customary non-competition covenants lasting until the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of termination of employment or October 6, 2007, nonsolicitation covenants lasting two years from the date of termination of employment and confidentiality covenants of unlimited duration.

The MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC California Equity Incentive Plan and the MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC Equity Incentive Plan each provide for the award of nonstatutory options, unit appreciation rights, or SARs, and restricted unit awards to employees, consultants or non-employee directors of MagnaChip and its subsidiaries. Subject to adjustment in the event of certain corporate transactions or events, the maximum aggregate number of MagnaChip units that are available for grant under both plans is 7,890,864, all of which may be granted under either plan. Units subject to awards that expire, are forfeited or otherwise terminate will again be available for grant under the plans. The plans are administered by our Board of Directors.

The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors will determine the number of options granted to each participant, the exercise price of each option, the duration of the options (not to exceed ten years), vesting provisions and all other terms and conditions of such options. Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, the exercise price of each option is required to be not less than the fair market value of the underlying common units subject to the option on the date of grant. The plans provide for payment of the exercise price of options in the form of cash or, subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee, MagnaChip units. The plans provide that upon a termination of the option-holder’s employment or service with MagnaChip or its subsidiaries, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee at or after grant, the exercise period for vested options will be limited, provided that vested options will be cancelled immediately upon a termination for cause.

The Compensation Committee may elect to grant SARs to plan participants and may determine the number of common units subject to the award, the duration of the SARs (not to exceed ten years), vesting provisions and all other terms and conditions of such SARs. In no event may the base price of a SAR be less than the fair market value of the common units subject to the award on the date of grant. A termination of service or employment of the recipient will have the same effect on SARs granted under the plans as on options.

The Compensation Committee will determine the number of restricted units offered to each participant in the plans, the purchase price of the units, the period the units are unvested and subject to forfeiture, the effect of a termination of the recipient’s employment or service and all other terms and conditions applicable to the restricted units.

The plans provide that upon a change in control or certain other corporate transactions, the Compensation Committee may, on a holder by holder basis, accelerate the vesting of outstanding options, SARs or restricted units, cancel any unexercised outstanding awards in whole or in part, and/or take actions to ensure that such awards shall be honored or assumed by the successor employer or take such other reasonable actions as the Compensation Committee shall determine.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

The following tables set forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of MagnaChip as of March 1, 2007, by (i) each person or entity known to us to beneficially own more than 5% of any class of outstanding securities of MagnaChip, (ii) each member of our Board of Directors, (iii) each of our named executive officers and (iv) all of the members of our Board of Directors and our executive officers as a group. As of March 1, 2007, MagnaChip’s outstanding securities consisted of 52,720,784.047 common units and 93,997.4364 Series B preferred units. The tables do not include common units issuable upon conversion of Series B preferred units.

The amounts and percentages of common units beneficially owned are reported on the basis of SEC regulations governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under SEC rules, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares “voting power,” which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or “investment power,” which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she has no economic interest.

Except as indicated by footnote, the persons named in the tables below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all units shown as beneficially owned by them.

Under such agreements, each of CVC Management, Francisco Partners Management and CVC Capital Partners Asia is entitled to receive fees billed at such firm’s customary rates for actual time spent performing such services plus reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses or, at such firm’s option and upon certain conditions, an annual advisory fee, the amount of which is the greater of a fixed dollar amount or a percentage of the annual consolidated revenue of MagnaChip Korea and MagnaChip for the last twelve months, plus out-of-pocket expenses, for the remaining term of the advisory agreement. The annual advisory fees under the agreements are as follows: CVC Management and Francisco Partners Management are each entitled to the greater of $1,379,163.42 or 0.14777% of annual consolidated revenue and CVC Capital Partners Asia is entitled to the greater of $741,673.15 or 0.07946% of annual consolidated revenue. There are no minimum levels of service required to be provided pursuant to the advisory agreements. Each advisory agreement has an initial term of ten years from the date of the Original Acquisition, subject to termination by either party upon written notice 90 days prior to the expiration of the initial term or any extension thereof. Each advisory agreement includes customary indemnification provisions in favor of each of CVC Management, Francisco Partners Management and CVC Capital Partners Asia. In exchange for an extension of the initial term of these advisory agreements for a period of one year, each of the three advisors under these advisory agreements agreed to waive all fees accruing in our fiscal year 2006.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Under our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, all conflicts of interest and related-party transactions that are determined to be material by the Chief Financial Officer must be reviewed and approved in writing by our audit committee. All conflicts of interest and related-party transactions involving our directors or executive officers must be reviewed and approved in writing by our full Board of Directors. In the approval process, the approving authority will review all aspects of the conflict of interest or related-party transaction, including but not limited to, (i) compliance with laws, rules, and regulations, (ii) the adverse affect on our business and results of operations, (iii) the adverse affect on our relationships with third parties such as customers, vendors, and potential investors, (iii) the benefit to the director, officer, or employee at issue, and (iv) the creation of morale problems among other employees.

Audit fees and services

The following table presents fees for professional services rendered by Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers and its affiliates for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

Policy and procedure for approval of audit and permitted non-audit services

All audit, audit-related and tax services were pre-approved by the Company’s Audit Committee, which concluded that the provision of such services by Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers and its affiliates was compatible with the maintenance of that firm’s independence in the conduct of its auditing functions. The Audit Committee’s Outside Auditor Independence Policy provides for pre-approval of specifically described audit, audit-related, non-audit related and tax services by the Committee on an annual basis. Individual engagements must be separately approved. The policy also requires specific approval by the Committee if total fees for auditrelated and tax services would exceed total fees for audit services in any fiscal year. The policy authorizes the Committee to delegate to one or more of its members pre-approval authority with respect to permitted services that will be ratified by the entire Audit Committee at a future committee meeting in accordance with requirements of the SEC. In 2005 and 2006, the Audit Committee followed these guidelines in approving all services rendered by Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers and its affiliates.
