Risks Related to Our Company

Investing in our company entails a high degree of risk, including those summarized below and those more fully described in the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 9 of this prospectus. You should consider carefully such risks before deciding to invest in shares of our common stock.

 

  Ÿ  

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

 

  Ÿ  

The average selling prices of our semiconductor products have at times declined rapidly and will likely do so in the future, which could harm our revenue and gross profit;

 

  Ÿ  

We have a history of losses and may not become profitable in the future;

EBITDA is a key financial measure but should not be construed as an alternative to operating income, cash flows from operating activities or net income (loss), as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. EBITDA is not a measure defined in accordance with GAAP. We believe that EBITDA is a standard performance measure commonly reported and widely used by analysts and investors in our industry.

However, the method of computation may or may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA is as follows:

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below as well as the other information contained in this prospectus before investing in our common stock. Any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. In such a case, the price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or those currently viewed by us to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Business

The cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry may limit our ability to maintain or increase net sales and operating results 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. A downturn can result in lower unit volumes and rapid erosion of average selling prices. The semiconductor industry has experienced significant downturns, often in connection with, or in anticipation of, maturing product cycles of both semiconductor companies’ and their customers’ products or a 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 results of operations and the value of our business.

We base our planned operating expenses in part on our expectations of future revenue, and a significant portion of our expenses is relatively fixed in the short term. If revenue for a particular quarter is lower than we expect, we likely will be unable to proportionately reduce our operating expenses for that quarter, which would harm our operating results for that quarter.

We manufacture our products based on our estimates of customer demand, and if our estimates are incorrect our financial results could be negatively impacted.

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 demand and expected demand for and success of their products. 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 estimate accurately future customer demand for our products. On occasion, customers may require rapid increases in supply, which can challenge our production resources and reduce margins. We may not have sufficient capacity at any given time to meet our customers’ increased demand for our products. Conversely, downturns in the semiconductor industry have caused and may in the future cause our customers to reduce significantly the amount of products they order from us. Because many of our costs and operating expenses are relatively fixed, a reduction in customer demand would decrease our results of operations, including our gross profit.

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

We generally do not obtain firm, long-term purchase commitments from our customers. Customers may cancel their orders, reduce 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 periodic downturns in the semiconductor industry or failure to achieve

design wins, have affected and may continue to affect our results of operations adversely. These risks are exacerbated because many of our products are customized, which hampers our ability to sell excess inventory to the general market. 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 pricing, our margins and results of operations would be adversely affected.

We depend on high utilization of our manufacturing capacity.

An important factor in our success is the extent to which we are able to utilize the available capacity in our fabrication facilities. As many of our costs are fixed, a reduction in capacity utilization, as well as changes in other factors such as reduced yield or unfavorable 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.

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

Historically, we have relied on a limited number of customers for a substantial portion of our total revenue. If we were to lose key customers or if customers cease to place orders for our high volume products or services, our financial results would be adversely affected. While we served more than 190 customers in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, net sales to our 10 largest customers represented approximately 61.6% of our net sales for the period. One customer represented greater than 10% of our net sales during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007. Significant reductions in sales to any of these customers, the loss of major customers or a general curtailment in orders for our high volume products or services 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 both within our product categories and end markets. Current and prospective customers for our products and services evaluate our capabilities against the merits of our 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 certain of our end markets and with the internal semiconductor design and manufacturing 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 will depend on a number of factors, including the following:

 

  Ÿ  

our ability to offer cost-effective and high quality products and services on a timely basis using our technologies;

 

  Ÿ  

our ability to accurately identify and respond to emerging technological trends and demand for product features and performance characteristics;

 

  Ÿ  

our ability to continue to rapidly introduce new products that are accepted by the market;

 

  Ÿ  

our ability to adopt or adapt to emerging industry standards;

 

10


Table of Contents
  Ÿ  

the number and nature of our competitors and competitiveness of their products and services in a given market; and

 

  Ÿ  

entrance of new competitors into our markets.

Many of these factors are outside of our control. In the future, our competitors may replace us as a supplier to our existing or potential customers, and our customers may satisfy more of their requirements internally. As a result, we may experience declining revenues and results of operations.

The average selling prices of our semiconductor products have at times declined rapidly and will likely do so in the future, which could harm our revenue and gross profit.

The semiconductor products we develop and sell are subject to rapid declines in average selling prices. From time to time, we have had to reduce our prices significantly to meet customer requirements, and we may be required to reduce our prices in the future. This would cause our gross profit to decrease. Our financial results will suffer if we are unable to offset any reductions in our average selling prices by increasing our sales volumes, reducing our costs or developing new or enhanced products on a timely basis with higher selling prices or gross profit.

Changes in demand for consumer electronics, including digital televisions, notebook computers, flat panel displays and mobile phones, and products in our other end markets can impact our results of operations.

Demand for our products will depend in part on the changes in demand for various consumer electronics products, including digital televisions, notebook computers, flat panel displays and mobile phones, and electronics products in our other end markets and on general economic growth. To the extent that we cannot offset periods of reduced demand that may occur in these markets through greater penetration of these markets or reduction in our production and costs, our sales and gross profit may decline, which would negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we fail to develop new products and process technologies or enhance our existing products and services in order to react to rapid technological change and market demands, our business will suffer.

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 companies may render our products or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive, and we may not be able to access advanced process technologies or to license or otherwise obtain essential intellectual property required by our customers.

We must develop new products and services and enhance our existing products and services to meet rapidly evolving customer requirements. We design products for customers who continually require higher performance and functionality at lower costs. We must, therefore, continue to enhance the performance and functionality of our products. The development process for these advancements is lengthy and requires us to accurately anticipate technological changes and market trends. Developing and enhancing these products is uncertain and can be time-consuming, costly and complex. If we do not continue to develop and maintain process technologies that are in demand by our semiconductor manufacturing services customers, we may be unable to maintain existing customers or attract new customers.

Customer and market requirements can change during the development process. There is a risk that these developments and enhancements will be late, fail to meet customer or market specifications

or not be competitive with products or services from our competitors that offer comparable or superior performance and functionality. For example, net sales generated in 2006 by our Imaging Solutions business decreased $102.8 million, or 63%, compared to net sales generated by that business in 2005. This decrease was primarily attributable to delays in transitioning to new megapixel products. We have begun marketing a new line of power management solutions that we intend to sell to our customers in 2008. Any new products, such as our new power management solutions, or product or service enhancements may not be accepted in new or existing markets. Our business will suffer if we fail to develop and introduce new products and services or product and service enhancements on a timely and cost-effective basis.

If we fail to achieve design wins for our semiconductor products, we may lose the opportunity for sales to customers for a significant period of time and be unable to recoup our investments in our products.

We expend considerable resources to achieve design wins for our semiconductor products, especially our new products and product enhancements. Once a customer designs a semiconductor into a product, that customer is likely to continue to use the same semiconductor or enhanced versions of that semiconductor from the same supplier across a number of similar and successor products for a lengthy period of time due to the significant costs associated with qualifying a new supplier and potentially redesigning the product to incorporate a different semiconductor. If we fail to achieve an initial design win in a customer’s qualification process, we may lose the opportunity for significant sales to that customer for a number of products and for a lengthy period of time. This may cause us to be unable to recoup our investments in our semiconductor products, which would harm our business.

We have lengthy and expensive design-to-mass production and manufacturing process development cycles.

The cycle time from the design stage to mass production for some of our products is long and requires the investment of significant resources with many potential customers without any guarantee of sales. Our design-to-mass production cycle typically begins with a three-to-twelve month semiconductor development stage and test period followed by a three-to-twelve month end-product qualification period by our customers. The fairly lengthy front end of our sales cycle creates a risk that we may incur significant expenses but may be unable to realize meaningful sales. Moreover, prior to mass production, customers may decide to cancel their products or change production specifications, resulting in sudden changes in our product specifications, increasing our production time and costs. Failure to meet such specifications may also delay the launch of our products or result in lost sales.

In addition, we collaborate and jointly develop certain process technologies and manufacturing process flows custom to certain of our semiconductor manufacturing services customers. To the extent that our semiconductor manufacturing services customers fail to achieve market acceptance for their products, we may be unable to recoup our engineering resources commitment and our investment in process technology development, which would harm our business.

We face numerous challenges relating to executing our growth strategy.

As part of our growth strategy, we have begun marketing a new line of power management semiconductor products and expect to introduce other new products and services in the future. If we are unable to execute our growth strategy effectively, we may not be able to take advantage of market opportunities, execute our business plan or respond to competitive pressures. Moreover, if our allocation of resources does not correspond with future demand for particular products, we could miss market opportunities, and our business and financial results could be materially and adversely affected.

The loss of our key employees would materially adversely affect our business, and we may not be able to attract or retain the technical or management employees necessary to compete in our industry.

Our key executives have substantial experience and have made significant contributions to our business, and our continued success is dependent upon the retention of our key management executives, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Sang Park, and our President and Chief Financial Officer, Robert Krakauer, as well as the services provided by our engineers and a number of other key managerial, marketing, planning, financial, technical and operations personnel. The loss of such key personnel would have a material adverse effect on our business. Growth in our business is dependent, to a large degree, on our ability to retain and attract such employees. In addition, 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. This could hinder our research and product development programs or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business.

We have a history of losses and may not become profitable in the future.

Since we began operations as a separate entity in 2004, we have not generated a profit and have generated significant net losses. As of September 30, 2007, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $531.8 million and negative stockholders’ equity. To become profitable, we will need to generate and sustain substantially higher revenue while maintaining or reducing expenses. We currently expect to incur higher expenses in each of the next several quarters to support increased research and development and sales and marketing efforts. These expenditures may not result in increased revenue or an increase in the number of customers immediately or at all. Because many of our expenses are fixed in the short term, or are incurred in advance of anticipated sales, we may not be able to decrease our expenses in a timely manner to offset any shortfall of sales. If we become profitable, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or an annual basis.

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

As of September 30, 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 can offer no assurance that issues with the labor union and other employees will be resolved favorably for us in the future, that we will not experience work stoppages or other labor problems in future years or that we will not incur significant expenses related to such issues.

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

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. Any such transaction 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 determined to be worth less than the amount paid for them in an earlier original acquisition. In addition, our senior secured credit facility and the indentures governing our senior secured notes and senior subordinated notes may restrict us from making acquisitions that we may otherwise wish to pursue.

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 specialized equipment. We may have difficulty achieving acceptable yields in the manufacture of our products or those of our semiconductor manufacturing services customers, which could lead to higher costs, a loss of customers or delay in market acceptance of our products. Slight impurities or defects in the photomasks 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. Yields below our target levels can negatively impact our gross profit and may cause us to eliminate underperforming products.

We rely on a number of independent subcontractors.

A substantial portion of our net sales are derived from semiconductor devices assembled in packages or on film. The packaging and testing of semiconductors require technical skill and specialized equipment. For the portion of packaging and testing that we outsource, we use subcontractors located in Korea and Southeast Asia. We rely on these subcontractors to package and test our devices with acceptable quality and yield levels. If our semiconductor packagers and test service providers experience problems in packaging and testing our semiconductor devices, experience prolonged quality or yield problems or decrease the capacity available to us, 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 gasses, precious metals and electronic and mechanical components. We procure materials and electronic and mechanical components from international sources and original equipment manufacturers. From time to time in the past, the supply of polysilicon available for use in the manufacture of semiconductor products has been constrained, and we may confront similar constraints in the future. If we cannot obtain adequate materials in a timely manner or on favorable terms for the manufacture of our products, revenues and results of operations will decline.

We face product return and 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 return and 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. Our sales may decline if any of our customers are sued on a product liability claim. We also may 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. Further, if our products are delivered with impurities or defects, we could incur additional development, repair or replacement costs, and our credibility and the market’s acceptance of our products could be harmed.

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 on assumptions about the various tax laws, including withholding tax, and other laws of applicable non-U.S. jurisdictions. In addition, our Korean

 

14


Table of Contents

subsidiary, MagnaChip Semiconductor, Ltd., or MagnaChip Korea, was granted a limited tax holiday under Korean law in October 2004. This grant provides for certain tax exemptions for corporate taxes, withholding taxes, acquisition taxes, property and land use taxes and other taxes until December 31, 2008. In addition, we do not expect the income of our foreign subsidiaries to be subject to taxation in the United States by reason of the “Subpart F” regime. Our interpretations and conclusions regarding tax and other laws are not binding on any taxing authority and, if these assumptions and conclusions are incorrect, if our business were to be operated in a way that rendered us ineligible for tax exemptions or to become subject to incremental tax, 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 organizational structure materially impaired.

Our ability to compete successfully and achieve future growth will depend, in part, on our ability to protect our proprietary technology and know-how, 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. There can be no assurance 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 to protect these technologies may be breached and may not be adequate to protect our proprietary technologies. There can be no assurance 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. We may need to file lawsuits to enforce our patents or intellectual property rights, and we may need to defend against claimed infringement of the rights of others. Any litigation could result in substantial costs to us and divert our resources. Despite our efforts in bringing or defending lawsuits, we may not be able to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating our intellectual property. In the event of an adverse outcome in any such litigation, we may be required to:

 

  Ÿ  

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 others;

 

  Ÿ  

stop our manufacture, use, sale or importation of infringing products; expend significant resources to develop or acquire non-infringing technologies;

 

  Ÿ  

discontinue processes; or

 

  Ÿ  

obtain licenses to the intellectual property we are found to have infringed.

There can be no assurance 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. In addition, many of our patents are subject to cross licenses, several of which are with our competitors. The noncompetition arrangement agreed to by Hynix in connection with the Original Acquisition expired on October 1, 2007. Under that arrangement, Hynix retained a perpetual license to use the intellectual property that we acquired from Hynix in the Original Acquisition. Now that these

 

15


Table of Contents

noncompetition restrictions have expired, Hynix and its subsidiaries are free to develop products that may incorporate or embody intellectual property developed by us prior to October 2004.

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 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, change frequently and have tended to become more stringent over time. There can be no assurance that we have been, or will be, in compliance with all such 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 may need additional capital in the future, and such capital may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.

We may require more capital in the future from equity or debt financings to fund our operations, finance investments in equipment and infrastructure, acquire complimentary businesses and technologies, and respond to competitive pressures and potential strategic opportunities. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or other securities convertible into equity, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new shares we issue could have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock, including the shares of common stock sold in this offering. In addition, additional capital may not be available when needed or, if available, may not be available on favorable terms. In addition, our senior secured credit facility and the indentures governing our notes limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness under certain circumstances. 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 this may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

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

We invest significant resources in our research and development. Our research and development efforts, however, may not yield commercially viable products or enhance our semiconductor manufacturing services offerings. During each stage of research and development there is a substantial risk that we will have to abandon a potential product or service offerings which is no longer marketable and in which we have invested significant resources. In the event we are able to develop viable new products or service offerings, 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.

Our business depends on international customers, suppliers and operations in Asia, and as a result we are subject to regulatory, operational, financial and political risks, which could adversely affect our financial results.

We rely on, and expect to continue to rely on, suppliers, subcontractors and operations located primarily in Asia. As a result, we face risks inherent in international operations, such as unexpected

 

16


Table of Contents

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 receivable 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. Although we do not derive any revenue from, nor sell any products in, North Korea, any future increase in tensions between South Korea and North Korea which may occur, for example, an outbreak of military hostilities, would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to risks associated with currency fluctuations.

Our net sales are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars, as well as various other currencies, including the Korean won, Japanese yen and euro. 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. Conversely, during the first nine months of 2007, more than 50% of our costs were denominated in Korean won and, to a lesser extent, in Japanese yen, U.S. dollars and euros. Therefore, changes in the exchange rates of these currencies or any other applicable currencies to the U.S. dollar will affect our cost of goods sold and operating margins and could result in exchange losses. As a result, a material decline in the U.S. dollar relative to the Korean won will result in an increase in our costs as a proportion of our net sales, thereby reducing our operating margins.

We cannot fully predict the impact of future exchange rate fluctuations on our profitability. We have not engaged in exchange rate hedging since the Original Acquisition. From time to time, we may engage in exchange rate hedging activities in an effort to mitigate the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. However, there can be no assurance that any hedging technique we implement will be effective. If such hedging is not effective, we may experience reduced operating margins.

Our level of indebtedness is substantial, and we may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful. A decline in the ratings of our existing or future indebtedness may make the terms of any new indebtedness we choose to incur more costly.

As of September 30, 2007 and after giving pro forma effect to this offering and the use of proceeds therefrom, our total indebtedness would have been approximately $600 million. See “Capitalization” for additional information. Our substantial debt could have important consequences, including:

 

  Ÿ  

increasing our vulnerability to general economic and industry conditions;

 

  Ÿ  

requiring a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, therefore reducing our ability to use our cash flow to fund our operations, capital expenditures and future business opportunities;

 

  Ÿ  

exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates because some of our borrowings are at variable rates of interest;

 

  Ÿ  

limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisitions and general corporate or other purposes; and

 

  Ÿ  

limiting our ability to adjust to changing market conditions and placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors who have less debt.

 

17


Table of Contents

Our ability to make scheduled payments on or to refinance our debt obligations depends on our financial condition and operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business and other factors beyond our control. There can be no assurance that we will maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness. In the year ended December 31, 2006, and the nine months ended September 30, 2007, our cash interest expense exceeded the cash generated from our operating activities by $25.6 million and $47.0 million, respectively.

On April 19, 2007, Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. downgraded the ratings on our indebtedness. The credit ratings assigned to our debt reflect the rating agency’s opinion of our ability to make payments on the debt obligations when such payments are due. A rating may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. We may experience downgrades in our debt ratings in the future, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain favorable interest rates and other terms on any new debt we may choose to incur in the future, including any new debt we may incur to refinance existing indebtedness. In the event any ratings downgrades are significant, we may choose not to incur new debt or refinance existing debt if we are unable to incur or refinance such debt at favorable interest rates or on favorable terms.

If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations or if we are unable to refinance existing indebtedness on favorable terms, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. In the absence of such operating results and resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other obligations. The credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facility and the indentures governing our notes restrict our ability to dispose of assets and use the proceeds from the disposition. We may not be able to consummate those dispositions or be able to obtain the proceeds which we could realize from them and these proceeds may not be adequate to meet any debt service obligations then due.

Our expenses could increase if Hynix were unwilling or unable to provide certain services related to our shared facilities with Hynix, and if Hynix were to become insolvent, we could lose certain of our leases.

Because we share certain facilities with Hynix, several 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.

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

Table of Contents

independent auditors will be required to attest to and report on 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 and could result in investigations or sanctions by the SEC, the New York Stock Exchange or other regulatory authorities or in stockholder litigation. Any of these factors ultimately could harm our business and could negatively impact the market price of our securities. Ineffective control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. However, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, 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. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

We may need to incur impairment and other restructuring charges, which could materially affect our results of operations and financial conditions.

During industry downturns and for other reasons, we may need to record impairment or restructuring charges. From the Original Acquisition in October 2004 through September 30, 2007, we recognized aggregate restructuring and impairment charges of $142.6 million, which consisted of $136.5 million of impairment charges and $6.1 million of restructuring charges. In the future, we may need to record additional impairment charges or to further restructure our business and incur additional restructuring charges, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

The price of our common stock may be volatile and you may lose all or a part of your investment.

Prior to this offering, there has not been a public market for our common stock. Even though we anticipate that our shares will be quoted on the New York Stock Exchange, an active trading market for our common stock may not develop following this offering. You may not be able to sell your shares quickly or at the current market price if trading in our stock is not active. The initial public offering price for the shares will be determined by negotiations between the underwriters and us, and may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the trading market.

In addition, the trading price of our common stock might be subject to wide fluctuations. Factors, some of which are beyond our control, that could affect the trading price of our common stock may include:

 

  Ÿ  

actual or anticipated variations in our results of operations from quarter to quarter or year to year;

 

  Ÿ  

announcements by us or our competitors of significant agreements, technological innovations or strategic alliances;

 

19


Table of Contents
  Ÿ  

changes in recommendations or estimates by any securities analysts who follow our securities;

 

  Ÿ  

addition or loss of significant customers;

 

  Ÿ  

recruitment or departure of key personnel;

 

  Ÿ  

changes in economic performance or market valuations of competing companies in our industry;

 

  Ÿ  

price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market;

 

  Ÿ  

market conditions in our industry, end markets and the economy as a whole;

 

  Ÿ  

subsequent sales of stock and other financings;

 

  Ÿ  

litigation, legislation, regulation or technological developments that adversely affect our business; and

 

  Ÿ  

the expiration of contractual lock-up agreements with our executive officers, directors and greater than 5% stockholders.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a public company’s securities, securities class action litigation often has been instituted against the public company. Regardless of its outcome, this type of litigation could result in substantial costs to us and a likely diversion of our management’s attention. You may not receive a positive return on your investment when you sell your shares, and you could lose some or the entire amount of your investment.

Control by principal stockholders could adversely affect our other stockholders.

Based upon the MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC units outstanding as of September 30, 2007, our executive officers, directors and greater than 5% unitholders collectively beneficially owned approximately 96% of the common units of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC (excluding units issuable upon exercise of outstanding options) and 92% of the common units (including units issuable upon exercise of outstanding options). On a pro forma basis after giving effect to the corporate reorganization, this offering and the application of proceeds therefrom, our executive officers, directors and greater than 5% stockholders, collectively, would have owned approximately         % of our common stock, assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares. On the same pro forma basis, and assuming exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, our executive officers, directors and greater than 5% stockholders, collectively, would have owned approximately         % of our common stock.

In addition, pursuant to the terms of our amended and restated bylaws and securityholders’ agreement, the sponsors, or their respective affiliates, have agreed to elect their respective designees to serve as members of our board of directors. Therefore such stockholders will have a continuing ability to control our board. Accordingly, these stockholders will continue to have significant influence over our affairs for the foreseeable future, including controlling the election of directors and significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of our company or our assets. In addition, under the “controlled company” exception to the independence requirements of the New York Stock Exchange, we will be exempt from the rules of the New York Stock Exchange that require that our board of directors be comprised of a majority of independent directors, that our compensation committee be comprised solely of independent directors and that our nominating and governance committee be comprised solely of independent directors. This concentrated control will limit the ability of other stockholders to influence corporate matters and, as a result, we may take actions that our non-sponsor stockholders do not view as beneficial. For example, this concentration of ownership could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control or otherwise discouraging a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could cause the market price of our

 

20


Table of Contents

common stock to decline or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over the market price for their shares of our common stock.

Under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, none of Court Square, Francisco Partners, CVC Asia Pacific or Peninsula Investment Pte. Ltd. or any of their respective related parties has a duty to refrain from engaging in a corporate opportunity in the same or similar activities or lines of business as those engaged in by us, our subsidiaries and other related parties. Also, we have renounced any interest or expectancy in such business opportunities even if the opportunity is one that the we might reasonably have pursued or had the ability or desire to pursue if granted an opportunity to do so.

The future sale of significant amounts of our common stock may negatively affect our stock price, even if our business is doing well.

Sales of substantial amounts of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the prospect of such sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Upon the closing of this offering, and based upon the MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC units outstanding as of September 30, 2007, and after giving pro forma effect to the corporate reorganization, we would have outstanding shares of common stock. More than         % of the shares outstanding prior to this offering are subject to lock-up agreements under which the holders of such shares have agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of any of their shares for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus without the prior written consent of Goldman, Sachs & Co., UBS Securities LLC and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, other than any shares such holders may sell to the underwriters pursuant to the underwriters’ option to purchase up to              additional shares of our common stock. After the 180-day period, based upon the MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC units outstanding as of September 30, 2007,              shares held by current stockholders will be eligible for sale from time to time in the future under Rule 144, Rule 144(k) or Rule 701.

Goldman, Sachs & Co., UBS Securities LLC and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC can together waive the restrictions of the lock-up agreements at an earlier time without prior notice or announcement and allow stockholders to sell their shares. As restrictions on resale end, the market price of our common stock could drop significantly if the holders of the restricted shares sell such restricted shares or are perceived by the market as intending to sell such restricted shares.

The 180-day lock-up period will be automatically extended if: (1) during the last 17 days of the 180-day restricted period we issue an earnings release or announce material news or a material event; or (2) prior to the expiration of the 180-day restricted period, we announce that we will release earnings results during the 15-day period following the last day of the 180-day period, in which case the lock-up restrictions will continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the announcement of the material news or material event.

Provisions in our charter documents, Delaware law and our securityholders’ agreement may make it difficult for a third party to acquire us and could depress the price of our common stock.

Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in our management. These provisions include the following:

 

  Ÿ  

the authority of our board of directors to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock with such terms as the board of directors may determine;

 

  Ÿ  

the inability of any person other than our board of directors or the chairman of our board of directors to call a special meeting of our stockholders;

 

21


Table of Contents
  Ÿ  

advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and director nominations;

 

 

Ÿ

 

amendments to the provisions of our bylaws relating to the advance notice requirements and the ability to call special stockholder meetings require the affirmative vote of holders of at least 66 2/3% in voting power of our stock, and amendments to the provisions of our bylaws relating to the board designation and other rights of our sponsors require the consent of the sponsors for as long as they own shares of our capital stock; and

 

  Ÿ  

the ability of our sponsors or their respective affiliates to nominate, pursuant to the terms of our amended and restated bylaws and securityholders’ agreement, all of the members of our board, who must approve any change of control in our management.

As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to certain Delaware anti-takeover provisions. Under Delaware law, a corporation may not engage in a business combination with any holder of 15% or more of its capital stock unless the holder has held the stock for three years or the board of directors has approved the transaction. Our board of directors could rely on Delaware law to prevent or delay an acquisition of us, which could have the effect of reducing your ability to receive a premium on your common stock. However, we have elected not to be governed by Section 203 of the Delaware corporate law, which means that we have elected not to take advantage of this available anti-takeover protection related to transactions with interested stockholders.

We may apply the proceeds of this offering to uses that do not improve our operating results or increase the value of your investment.

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to repurchase our Series B preferred stock, to pay certain employee incentive payments payable upon the closing of this offering, to reduce our indebtedness, to pay certain expenses of this offering, including payments required in connection with the termination of our sponsors’ advisory agreements, and for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire or invest in companies and technologies that we believe will complement our business although we have no specific plans at this time to do so. However, we will have broad discretion in how we use the net proceeds of this offering. These proceeds could be applied in ways that do not improve our operating results or increase the value of your investment. Until the net proceeds are used, they may be placed in investments that do not produce income or that lose value.

You will incur immediate and substantial dilution and may experience further dilution.

The initial public offering price of our common stock is substantially higher than $            , the net tangible book value per share of our common stock as of September 30, 2007, calculated on a pro forma basis for the corporate reorganization and this offering. Therefore, if you purchase our common stock in this offering, you will incur an immediate dilution of $             in net tangible book value per share from the price you paid, based on the initial offering price of $             per share. The exercise of outstanding options to purchase shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $             per share (assuming a conversion ratio of                  between the common units of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC and our shares of common stock) will result in further dilution.

We will incur increased costs as a result of being a publicly listed company.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rules promulgated by the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange, require us to adopt corporate governance practices applicable to U.S. public companies. These rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and make certain compliance and reporting activities more time-consuming. We also expect it to be more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain and maintain director and officer liability insurance, which

 

22


Table of Contents

may cause us to accept reduced policy limits and reduced coverage or to incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur, but these additional costs and demands on management time and attention may harm our business and results of operations.

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of cash dividends on common stock is restricted under the terms of the agreements governing our indebtedness. We anticipate that we will retain all of our future earnings for use in the development of our business and for general corporate purposes. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investments.

SPECIAL CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Information concerning us and this offering is subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business.

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

 

  Ÿ  

customer demand is difficult to accurately forecast;

 

  Ÿ  

our customers may cancel their orders, reduce quantities or delay production;

 

  Ÿ  

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

 

  Ÿ  

our industry is highly competitive;

 

  Ÿ  

a decline in average selling prices of our products could decrease our profits;

 

24


Table of Contents
  Ÿ  

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

 

  Ÿ  

we depend on successful technological advances for growth;

 

  Ÿ  

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

 

  Ÿ  

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;

 

  Ÿ  

we have a history of losses and may not become profitable in the future;

 

  Ÿ  

the improvements and innovations we expect from our research and development efforts may not materialize; and

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that our net proceeds from the sale of the common stock that we are offering will be approximately $             million, after deducting the underwriting discount and the estimated expenses of this offering that we must pay (assuming an initial public offering price of $             per share, the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus). We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of our common stock by the selling stockholders, including some of our executive officers.

We intend to use the net proceeds to us from this offering as follows:

 

 

Ÿ

 

approximately $200 million to repurchase a portion of our floating rate second priority senior secured notes due 2011, our 6 7/8% second priority senior secured notes due 2011 and/or our 8% senior subordinated notes due 2014 (collectively the “notes”) and/or to reduce amounts drawn under our senior secured credit facility;

 

  Ÿ  

approximately $             million to repurchase all of the outstanding shares of our Series B preferred stock;

 

  Ÿ  

approximately $30 million to pay incentive payments to all of our employees other than our senior vice presidents and those officers ranking above such senior vice presidents;

 

  Ÿ  

approximately $9.75 million to pay certain amounts in connection with the termination of our sponsor advisory agreements; and

 

  Ÿ  

approximately $     million to fund working capital and for general corporate purposes.

Pending such uses, we intend to invest the net proceeds of this offering in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities.

If we raise more or fewer proceeds from this offering than anticipated, we expect to increase or reduce the amount that we use to reduce our indebtedness by a commensurate amount.

At September 30, 2007, there were 93,997 of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC’s Series B preferred units outstanding. Pursuant to the corporate reorganization, holders of these Series B preferred units who decide, prior to the time of the corporate reorganization, to sell us their Series B preferred stock (following the exchange of the Series B preferred units for Series B preferred stock pursuant to the corporate reorganization) will receive shares of our Series B preferred stock in exchange for such Series B preferred units at a ratio of 1:1. Holders of Series B preferred units who decide not to sell us their Series B preferred stock will receive shares of our common stock in exchange for such Series B preferred units at a ratio of             . As of September 30, 2007, MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC’s Series B preferred units had a redemption value of approximately $126 million (which includes cumulative accrued and unpaid dividends thereon through September 30, 2007 at an annual rate of 10% percent per unit). Our sponsors, together with Peninsula Investment Pte. Ltd. and certain of our directors and executive officers, and their respective affiliates, collectively, hold over 99% of our Series B preferred units. Therefore, assuming that all such holders sell us their shares of Series B preferred stock following the corporate reorganization, as of September 30, 2007 such holders would have received approximately $1,343 per share, or an aggregate of approximately $126 million, from the proceeds of this offering, in consideration for the purchase of such shares. See “Principal and Selling Stockholders” for a list of these persons and the number of Series B preferred units held by them as of September 30, 2007. We intend to repurchase all of our outstanding shares of Series B preferred stock using the proceeds from this offering. See “Description of Capital Stock—Series B Preferred Stock” for additional information.

In connection with the termination of our sponsor advisory agreements, we will pay approximately $9.75 million to Court Square Advisor, LLC (successor in interest to CVC Management LLC),

Francisco Partners Management, LLC and CVC Capital Partners Asia Limited using a portion of the proceeds of this offering. These entities are related to Court Square, Francisco Partners and CVC Asia Pacific, respectively. See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions — Advisory Agreements” for additional information.

As of September 30, 2007, the outstanding indebtedness under our senior secured credit facility was $50.6 million, and the aggregate principal amounts outstanding under our floating rate second priority senior secured notes due 2011, 6 7/8% second priority senior secured notes due 2011 and 8% senior subordinated notes due 2014 were $300 million, $200 million and $250 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2007, the interest rate for all borrowings under the senior secured credit facility was either three-month LIBOR plus 4.75% per annum or a specified adjusted base rate, or ABR, plus 3.75% per annum, and the weighted average interest rates for all of our outstanding notes and senior secured credit facility were 7.94% and 9.80% per annum, respectively. Our senior secured credit facility matures in December 2009, our senior secured notes mature in December 2011 and our senior subordinated notes mature in December 2014. Our senior secured credit facility contains certain customary covenants, including financial covenants such as the maintenance of an interest coverage ratio and a leverage ratio and certain levels of EBITDA and liquidity. In addition, the indentures governing the notes contain additional customary covenants, including those related to the incurrence of debt or liens, the payment of dividends, the issuance of certain types of preferred stock, asset sales and affiliate transactions. See “Description of Certain Indebtedness” for additional information. Affiliates of Goldman, Sachs & Co., UBS Securities LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., three of the representatives of the underwriters in this offering, are lenders under our existing senior secured credit facility and therefore will receive a portion of the net proceeds of this offering to the extent that we elect to use a portion of the proceeds thereof to reduce amounts drawn under such facility. Sang Park, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Robert J. Krakauer, our President and Chief Financial Officer and a director, and Paul C. Schorr IV, a director, own $69,000, $138,000 and $455,000, respectively, in aggregate principal amount of our 8% senior subordinated notes due 2014. However, these individuals have indicated to us that they do not intend to sell us any of their notes and therefore they will not receive any of the net proceeds of this offering pursuant to the note repurchase. See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions — Related Party Transactions” for additional information.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that we will retain all of our future earnings for use in the development of our business and for general corporate purposes. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors. The payment of cash dividends on common stock is restricted under the terms of our credit agreement and our indentures.

DILUTION

Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2007, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the corporate reorganization and the repurchase of all our Series B preferred stock, was approximately $                 million, or $                 per share of our common stock. Pro forma net tangible book value per share represents our total tangible assets reduced by our total liabilities and divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding. Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share that you pay in this offering and the net tangible book value per share immediately after this offering.

After giving effect to the receipt of the estimated net proceeds from the sale by us of                  shares, our net tangible book value at September 30, 2007 on the pro forma basis described above would have been approximately $                , or $                 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value per share of $                 to existing stockholders and an immediate decrease in net tangible book value per share of $                 to you. The following table illustrates the dilution.

This calculation assumes that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and reflects the deduction of the underwriting discount and estimated expenses of this offering.

The following table sets forth, as of September 30, 2007, on the pro forma basis described above, the differences between the amounts paid or to be paid by the groups set forth in the table with respect to the aggregate number of shares of our common stock acquired or to be acquired by each group.

If the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full, the number of shares of common stock held by existing stockholders will be reduced to                 ,                 % of the aggregate number of shares of common stock outstanding after this offering, and the number of shares of common stock held by new investors will be increased to                 , or                 % of the aggregate number of shares of common stock outstanding after this offering.

To the extent that any outstanding options to purchase shares of our common stock are exercised, investors in this offering will experience further dilution. The table below sets forth the matters described with respect to the table above and assumes the exercise of all options outstanding or exercisable as of September 30, 2007. Assuming such exercise, the total number of shares purchased would be increased as a result of the additional shares underlying the options being issued. Therefore the percentage of shares purchased by the existing stockholders and new investors relative to all three groups would be decreased. Similarly, as a result of the option exercises, the total consideration to be received by us would be increased because of the additional cash received by us from option exercises. Such increase in total consideration would have the effect of decreasing the percentage of total consideration paid by the existing stockholders and new investors relative to all three groups. The average price per share for the existing stockholders and new investors would remain unchanged.

(1) On October 6, 2004, our business was acquired from Hynix. For accounting purposes and consistent with its reporting periods, we have used October 1, 2004 as the effective date of such acquisition since the financial results from and after October 1, 2004 accrued to our benefit. As a result, we have reported our 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) Total indebtedness is calculated as long- and short-term borrowings, including the current portion of long-term borrowings.
(3) EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, interest expense, net and provision for income taxes. EBITDA is a key financial measure but should not be construed as an alternative to operating income, cash flows from operating activities or net income (loss), as determined in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA is not a measure defined in accordance with GAAP. We believe that EBITDA is a standard performance measure commonly reported and widely used by analysts and investors in our industry. However, the method of computation may or may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA is as follows:

Notes to Selected Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information

(1) The corporate reorganization adjustments in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 assume (a) the consummation of the corporate reorganization of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC and the effectiveness of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which is expected to occur prior to the closing of this offering, (b) the exchange of all of the outstanding common units of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC for shares of our common stock at a ratio of              and (c) the exchange of all of the outstanding Series B preferred units of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC for shares of our Series B preferred stock at a ratio of 1:1.

(2) The offering adjustments in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 assume the application of (a) $200.0 million of net proceeds from this offering to repay a portion of our outstanding indebtedness under our notes and our senior secured credit facility and (b) $126.2 million of net proceeds from this offering to redeem all of our Series B preferred stock, together with accrued and unpaid dividends thereon through the closing date of this offering.

(3) We expect to pay certain amounts in connection with the termination of our sponsors’ advisory agreements, which will result directly from this offering and which will be included in our statement of operations within 12 months following this offering. These charges are not expected to have a continuing impact and, therefore, have not been included in our pro forma statements of operations.

(4) Interest expense, net, reflects the assumed application of $200.0 million of net proceeds from this offering to repay a portion of the $800.6 million of our outstanding indebtedness at September 30, 2007, including the senior secured credit facility and notes. The adjustment is based on the assumption that the proceeds will be applied first to repay the outstanding balance on the short-term borrowing, which consists of the senior secured credit facility and the remaining amount applied to repay a portion of the long-term debt, which consists of our notes. The resulting reduction of interest expense from the repayment of our indebtedness would have been $12.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, which was calculated using the weighted average interest rate of 8.1% which includes the interest rates of both the senior secured credit facility and the notes at September 30, 2007.

(5) We believe our effective tax rate will not change as a result of the corporate reorganization.

(6) Dividends accrued on preferred stock reflects the assumed application of $126.2 million of net proceeds from this offering to repurchase all of our outstanding Series B preferred stock at September 30, 2007. The resulting reduction in dividends accrued on preferred stock due to the assumed repurchase of all of our outstanding Series B preferred stock was $8.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, which was calculated using the stated dividend rate on the Series B preferred units of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC of 10.0% per annum.

(7) Short-term borrowing and long-term debt reflects the assumed application of $200.0 million of net proceeds from this offering to repay a portion of our $800.6 million of outstanding indebtedness at September 30, 2007, including the senior secured credit facility and notes. This adjustment was based on the assumption that the proceeds would have been applied first to repay the outstanding balance on the short-term borrowing and the remaining amount applied to repay a portion of the long term debt.

(4) Interest expense, net, reflects the assumed application of $200.0 million of net proceeds from this offering to repay a portion of our $750.0 million of outstanding indebtedness at December 31, 2006, including the senior secured credit facility and notes. The adjustment was based on the assumption that the proceeds would have been applied first to repay the outstanding balance on the

short-term borrowing, which consists of the senior secured credit facility and the remaining amount applied to repay a portion of the long-term debt. The resulting reduction of interest expense from the repayment of our indebtedness would have been $16.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, which was calculated using the weighted average interest rate of 8.1% which includes the interest rates of both the senior secured credit facility and the notes at December 31, 2006.

(5) We believe our effective tax rate will not change as a result of the corporate reorganization.

(6) Dividends accrued on preferred stock reflects the assumed application of $117.4 million of net proceeds from this offering to repurchase all of our outstanding Series B preferred stock at December 31, 2006. The resulting reduction in dividends accrued on preferred stock due to the assumed repurchase of all of our outstanding Series B preferred stock was $10.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, which was calculated using the stated dividend rate on the Series B preferred units of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC of 10.0% per annum.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the “Selected Historical Consolidated Financial and Operating Data of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC” and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion and analysis contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that include risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus.

Overview

We are an Asia-based designer and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products for high volume consumer applications, such as mobile phones, digital televisions, flat panel displays, notebook computers, mobile multimedia devices and digital cameras. Our analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products and services enable the high resolution display of images and video, conversion of analog signals, such as light and sound, into digital data as well as manage power consumption. Our display driver solutions cover a wide range of display sizes used in high definition liquid crystal display, or LCD, televisions, flat panel displays, notebook computers and mobile communications and entertainment devices. Our image sensor solutions are highly integrated and designed to provide brighter, sharper and more colorful image quality in a variety of light conditions for use primarily in mobile handset, PC and notebook computer camera applications and security systems. We have also utilized our technology platform and manufacturing process expertise to design power management solutions in order to expand our market opportunity and address more of our customers’ needs. We offer semiconductor manufacturing services to providers of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors that require differentiated, specialty process technologies such as high voltage CMOS, embedded memory and power.

The variety of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products and services we offer is based on a technology platform and strategy that allows us to address multiple end markets and to develop and introduce new products quickly. We believe that our manufacturing integration and broad intellectual property enable us to respond quickly to our consumer electronics and semiconductor customers’ needs. To maintain and increase our profitability, we must forecast trends in consumer product demand and invest in relevant research and development activities and in appropriate capital equipment. We expect to maintain or increase our expenditures on research and development in future periods to maintain our position as a leading provider of semiconductor products and services in the segments in which we compete.

The semiconductor markets in which we compete are characterized by the use of advanced production technology and rapid technological advances. The prices of our products tend to decrease regularly over their useful lives, and such price decreases can be significant as new generations of products are introduced. We manage our pricing, production and product development activities so as to benefit from, or at least mitigate any adverse impact of, declining market prices for our products. In addition, we seek to manage our inventories and manufacturing capacity so as to preclude losses from inevitable product and productive capacity obsolescence.

Demand for our products and services is driven primarily by overall demand for the consumer end products in which our products are used and, consequently, can be adversely affected by periods of weak consumer spending in developed countries. Nonetheless, the consumer electronics market is large and rapidly growing, driven by consumers seeking to enjoy rich media content, such as digital and high definition audio and video, mobile television, games and digital photography. As a company,

we target to address market segments with higher growth rates than the overall consumer electronics industry. In recent years, we have experienced increasing demand from OEMs and consumers in developing countries such as China and India, and we expect to derive a substantial portion of our growth in the next decade from growing demand in such markets. We also expect that new competitors will emerge in these markets that may place increased pressure on the pricing for our products and services, but we believe that the competitive offerings will be, at least initially, of lower quality than the products and services that we offer, and that the impact from the increased competition will be more than offset by demand arising from such markets. Further, we believe we are well-positioned geographically to capture this demand, with our Asia-based operations.

Within particular operating segments and products, net sales are driven by “design wins” in which we or another company is selected by an electronics OEM or other potential customer to supply its demand of a particular product. These competitions typically determine the semiconductor supplier for the life of a particular end product and specify in many cases the production volume and pricing of a particular semiconductor product throughout the life of the end product. In any given period, our net sales depend heavily upon the end-market demand for the goods in which our products are used and the inventory levels maintained by our customers.

Our products and services require investments in capital equipment. We focus on specialty technologies, however, that do not require investments in leading edge manufacturing equipment, and as a result, our business tends not to be as subject to the pronounced boom and bust cycles characteristic of other semiconductor markets, in which the introduction of substantial, high-fixed cost capacity can cause product prices to plunge dramatically. In general, we seek to invest in manufacturing capacity that can be used for multiple high-value applications over an extended period of time. We believe this capital investment strategy enables us to optimize our capital investments and facilitates deeper and more diversified product and service offerings.

Our success going forward will depend upon our ability to adapt to future challenges such as the emergence of new competitors for our products and services or the consolidation of current competitors. Additionally, we must innovate to remain ahead of, or at least rapidly adapt to, technological breakthroughs that may lead to a step function change in the technology necessary to deliver our products and services. We believe that our established relationships and close collaboration with leading customers, such as LG.Philips LCD, Sharp, and Samsung, enhance our visibility into new product opportunities, market and technology trends and improve our ability to meet these challenges successfully.

Business Segments

We report in three separate business segments because we derive our revenues from three principal business lines: Display Solutions, Imaging Solutions and Semiconductor Manufacturing Services. Additionally, we have a fourth operating segment, Power Solutions, from which we expect to begin earning revenues in 2008. We have identified these segments based on how we allocate resources and assess our performance.

 

  Ÿ  

Display Solutions: Our Display Solutions segment offers flat panel display drivers for a wide range of small to large panel displays used in digital televisions, mobile phones, LCD monitors, notebook computers and mobile multimedia devices, such as handheld games. Our products cover a broad range of interfaces, packages and technologies, including AMOLED, LTPS and TFT technologies.

 

  Ÿ  

Imaging Solutions: Our Imaging Solutions segment covers a broad spectrum of videographics array, or VGA; 1.3, 2.1 and 3.2 megapixel, or MP; CMOS image sensors for large and rapidly growing camera-equipped applications, such as mobile handsets, PCs, digital cameras,

 

40


Table of Contents
 

notebook computers and security cameras. Our image sensors are designed to provide brighter, sharper and more colorful image quality for use primarily in applications that require a small form factor, low power consumption and high sensitivity in a variety of light conditions.

 

  Ÿ  

Semiconductor Manufacturing Services: Our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services segment manufactures wafers for analog and mixed-signal semiconductor companies based on their designs. We offer over 170 process flows to our manufacturing services customers. We also often partner with key customers to jointly develop or customize specialized processes that enable our customers to improve their products and allow us to develop unique manufacturing expertise. Our manufacturing services offering is targeted at customers who require differentiated, specialty analog and mixed-signal process technologies such as high voltage CMOS, embedded memory and power. These customers typically serve high growth and high volume applications in the consumer, computing, wireless and industrial end markets.

Revenue Sources

Net Sales.    We derive a majority of our sales (net of sales returns and allowances) from three reportable segments: Display Solutions, Imaging Solutions and Semiconductor Manufacturing Services. Our non-segmented other net sales consist principally of rental and unit processing business activities. In unit processing, we execute a limited number of process steps, rather than the entire production sequence, in the manufacture of semiconductor wafers for one customer. Our product inventory is primarily located in Korea and is available for drop shipment globally. Outside of Korea, we maintain limited amounts of product inventory, and our sales representatives generally relay orders to our factories in Korea for fulfillment. We have strategically located our sales and technical support offices near concentrations of major customers. Our sales offices are located in Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, the United Kingdom and the United States. Our network of authorized agents and distributors consists of agents in the United States and Europe and distributors and agents in the Asia Pacific region.

We generally recognize revenue when we deliver products to an end customer’s location when risk and reward of ownership passes to the customer. In the first nine months of 2007, we sold products to over 190 customers, and our net sales to our ten largest customers represented approximately 61.6% of our net sales. We have a combined production capacity of over 119,000 eight-inch equivalent semiconductor wafers per month. We believe our large-scale, cost-effective fabrication facilities enable us to rapidly adjust our production levels to meet shifts in demand by our end customers.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

Gross Profit.    Our overall gross profit generally fluctuates as a result of changes in overall sales volumes and in the average selling prices of our products and services. Other factors that influence our gross profit include changes in product mix, the introduction of new products and services and subsequent generations of existing products and services, shifts in the utilization of our manufacturing facilities and the yields achieved by our manufacturing operations, changes in material, labor and other manufacturing costs and variation in depreciation expense.

Material Costs.    Our cost of sales consists of costs of raw materials, such as silicon wafers, chemicals, gasses and tape, packaging supplies, equipment maintenance and depreciation expenses. We use processes that require specialized raw materials, such as silicon wafers, that are generally available from a limited number of suppliers. If demand increases or supplies decrease, the costs of our raw materials could significantly increase. For example, worldwide supplies of silicon wafers, an important raw material for the semiconductors we manufacture, have been constrained in recent years

 

41


Table of Contents

due to an increased demand for polysilicon. Polysilicon is also a key raw material for solar cells, the demand for which has steadily increased over the last two years. We do not expect these supplies to increase significantly in the near future. In 2006, we diversified suppliers for many of our raw materials, including chemicals, gasses and tape, which is one of the process materials for our display drivers.

Labor Costs.    A significant portion of our employees are located in Korea. Under Korean labor laws, 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 September 30, 2007, 96% of our employees were eligible for severance benefits. In accordance with the National Pension Act 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.

Depreciation Expense.    We periodically evaluate the carrying amounts of long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, as well as the related depreciation periods. At September 30, 2007, we depreciated our property, plant and equipment using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of our assets. Depreciation rates vary from 30-40 years on buildings to five years for certain equipment and assets. Our evaluation of carrying values is based on various analyses including cash flow and profitability projections. If our projections indicate that future undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying amounts of the related long-lived assets, the carrying amount of the assets is impaired and will be reduced, with the reduction charged to expense so that the carrying amount is equal to fair value.

Selling Expenses.    We sell our products worldwide through a direct sales force as well as a network of sales agents and representatives to OEMs, including major branded customers and contract manufacturers, and indirectly through distributors. Selling expenses consist primarily of the personnel costs for the members of our direct sales force, a network of sales representatives and other costs of distribution. Personnel costs include base salary, benefits and incentive compensation. As incentive compensation is tied to various net sales goals, it will increase or decrease with net sales.

General and Administrative Expenses.    General and administrative expenses consist of the costs of various corporate operations, including finance, legal, human resources and other administrative functions. These expenses primarily consist of payroll-related expenses, consulting and other professional fees and office facility-related expenses. Historically, our selling, general and administrative expenses have moved in correlation with changes in revenues, and we expect this trend to continue in the future.

Research and Development.    The rapid technological change and product obsolescence that characterize our industry require us to make continuous investments in research and development. Product development time frames vary but, in general, we incur research and development costs one to two years before generating sales from the associated new products. Our research and development costs incurred as a percentage of the consolidated revenues and in total have increased since 2005. These expenses include personnel costs for members of our engineering workforce, cost of photomasks, silicon wafers and other non-recurring engineering charges related to product design. Additionally, we develop base-line process technology through experimentation and through the design and use of characterization wafers that help achieve commercially feasible yields for new products. The majority of research and development expenses are for process development that serves as a common technology platform for all of our product segments. Consequently, we do not allocate these expenses to individual segments. We expect to continue to increase our investments in research and development to develop additional products and expand our business.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges.    We evaluate the recoverability of certain long-lived assets on a periodic basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying

 

42


Table of Contents

amount may not be recoverable. In our efforts to improve our overall profitability in future periods, we have closed or impaired, and may in the future close or impair, facilities which are underutilized and which are no longer aligned with our long-term business goals.

Interest Expense, Net.    Our interest expense is incurred to service our notes in the amount of $750 million and drawings under our senior secured credit facility. At September 30, 2007, the notes bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 7.94%. Drawings under our senior secured credit facility bore interest at September 30, 2007 at either three-month LIBOR plus 4.75% or ABR plus 3.75% and were minimally offset by interest income on cash balances. Of the $750 million of total long-term borrowings, $300 million consist of variable interest rate securities. Effective as of June 27, 2005, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement that converted the variable interest rate portion of our notes into a fixed interest rate of 7.34%. That arrangement will be in effect until the swap agreement expires on June 15, 2008. As a result of this offering and our proposed repayment of outstanding indebtedness, we expect that our interest expense will decrease in amount and as a percentage of net sales.

Foreign Currency Gain or Loss.    A substantial portion of our net foreign currency gain or loss relates to non-cash translation gain or loss recorded for intercompany borrowings at our Korea subsidiary that is denominated in U.S. dollars. This balance sheet item is affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Korean won and U.S. dollar.

Income Taxes.    We record our income taxes in each of the tax jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves using an asset and liability approach whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for differences in the financial reporting bases and tax bases of our assets and liabilities. We exercise significant management judgment in determining our provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities. We periodically evaluate our deferred tax assets to ascertain whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

Our operations are subject to income and transaction taxes in Korea and in multiple foreign jurisdictions. Significant estimates and judgments are required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes. Some of these estimates are based on interpretations of existing tax laws or regulations. The ultimate amount of tax liability may be uncertain as a result.

Capital Expenditures.    We invest in manufacturing equipment, software design tools and other tangible and intangible assets for capacity expansion and technology improvement. Capacity expansions and technology improvements typically occur in anticipation of seasonal increases in demand. We typically pay for capital expenditures in partial installments with portions due on order, delivery and final acceptance.

Inventories.    We monitor our inventory levels in light of product development changes and market expectations. We may be required to take additional charges for quantities in excess of demand, cost in excess of market value and product age. Our analysis may take into consideration historical usage, expected demand, anticipated sales price, new product development schedules, the effect new products might have on the sales of existing products, product age, customer design activity, customer concentration and other factors. These forecasts require us to estimate our ability to predict demand for current and future products and compare those estimates with our current inventory levels and inventory purchase commitments. Our forecasts for our inventory may differ from actual inventory use.

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 historically shared with Hynix, and allocations of certain manufacturing costs as well as 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. We 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. Accordingly, the carve-out financial statements should not be relied upon as being representative of what our financial position or operating results would have been had we operated on a stand-alone basis, nor may they be representative of our financial position or operating results following the Original Acquisition.

Segments.    Prior to our fiscal year 2006, we operated in a single segment—semiconductor manufacturing. In fiscal year 2006, subsequent to the appointment of a 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, we changed the manner in which the CODM reviewed our operational results and made significant business decisions so as to include disaggregated financial information with respect to our three reportable segments. The segment information for prior periods has been prepared in conformity with our current segment structure.

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 decreased $36.2 million, or 6.2% compared to the nine months ended October 1, 2006. Net sales generated in the three operating segments during the current period were $492.5 million, a decrease of $51.1 million or 9.4% from the net sales of our three reportable segments for the prior-year period, primarily due to a $63.2 million or 22.5% decrease in sales in the Semiconductor Manufacturing Services segment offset by an $8.2 million or 3.8% increase in sales from the Display Solutions segment and a $3.9 million or 8.2% increase in sales from the Imaging Solutions segment.

Display Solutions.    Net sales from Display Solutions for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $223.3 million, an $8.2 million or 3.8% increase from $215.1 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2006. The increase resulted from a 33.5% sales volume increase, primarily from

display driver products for LCD televisions and PC monitors and was partially offset by a 23.9% decrease in average selling prices.

Imaging Solutions.    Net sales from Imaging Solutions increased $3.9 million in the current period, or 8.2%, compared to net sales generated in the prior-year period. This increase was primarily due to a $36.1 million sales increase of small form factor VGA products and a $0.5 million sales increase of 1.3 MP products due to an increase in market demand for mobile phones and PC cameras. This revenue increase from these products was partially offset by a $27.5 million or 75.5% decrease in traditional VGA products sales and a $1.6 million or 83.6% decrease in 1.0 MP product sales due to a shift in market demand to small form factor VGA products and 1.3 MP products.

Semiconductor Manufacturing Services.    Net sales from Semiconductor Manufacturing Services for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $217.6 million, a $63.2 million, or a 22.5%, decrease compared to net sales of $280.8 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2006. This decrease was primarily due to a 14.9% decline in sales volume of eight-inch equivalent wafers as a result of higher inventory balances held by our customers in the analog and power end markets in the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the same period in the prior year, to an 8.1% decrease in the average selling prices of our services, and to product program declines or terminations experienced by some of our key customers.

All other.    Net sales from All other for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $53.4 million compared to $38.4 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2006. This increase of $15.0 million or 39.1% represents the revenue increase from our unit processing service.

Total gross profit decreased $7.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007, or 9.1%, compared to the gross profit generated in the nine months ended October 1, 2006. Gross profit percentage for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was 13.6% of net sales, a decrease of 0.4% from 14.0% for the nine months ended October 1, 2006. This decline in gross profit percentage was primarily attributable to an overall decrease in average selling prices.

Display Solutions.    Gross profit percentage for Display Solutions for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 declined to 8.9% compared to 14.6% for the nine months ended October 1, 2006. This decline in gross profit percentage was primarily attributable to a 23.9% decrease in average selling prices.

Imaging Solutions.    Gross profit percentage for the current period improved compared to the prior-year period primarily due to a 143.8% increase in sales volume and a $3.9 million decrease in cost of sales which resulted primarily from a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense in connection with impairment charges in the second quarter of 2006, offset in part by a 53.6% decrease in average selling prices.

Semiconductor Manufacturing Services.    Gross profit percentage for Semiconductor Manufacturing Services declined to 14.6% in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from 16.5% in the nine months ended October 1, 2006. This decrease was primarily due to an 8.1% decrease in average selling prices caused by a decline in customer demand.

All other.    Gross profit percentage for All other for the current period increased to 37.2% from 24.0% for the prior-year period. This improvement in gross profit percentage was primarily attributable to an increase in sales volume for unit processing and lower fixed costs per unit.

Operating Expenses

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.    Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $71.9 million or 13.2% of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $66.4 million or 11.4% for the nine months ended October 1, 2006. The increase of $5.5 million or 8.3% from the prior-year period was mainly attributable to a settlement with former subcontractors of $1.3 million. These increases were partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses resulting from impairment charges taken during the second quarter of 2006.

Research and Development Expenses.    Research and development expenses for the current period were $101.1 million, an increase of $5.2 million or 5.3% from $95.9 million for the prior year period, mainly due to an increase in photomask usage of $3.4 million for new product development. This increase in research and development expenses essentially represented our focus on the introduction of new products. As a percentage of net sales, research and development expenses for the current period increased to 18.5% compared to 16.5% for the prior-year period.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges.    During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recognized restructuring and impairment charges of $12.1 million, which consisted of $10.1 million of impairment charges under SFAS No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“SFAS No. 144”) and $2.0 million of restructuring charges under SFAS No. 146 Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (“SFAS No. 146”). The impairment charges were recorded related to the closure of our five-inch wafer fabrication facility that has generated losses and no longer supports our strategic technology roadmap. This facility closing is expected to be completed within the next several months. During the nine months ended October 1, 2006, we determined, based on revised forecasts, that the projected demand for certain of our products in the Imaging Solutions segment 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 of the asset group

and recorded impairment and restructuring charges of $93.9 million. The amount included $92.5 million of impairment charges recorded under SFAS No. 144 and $1.4 million of restructuring charges under SFAS No. 146. The impairment charges were recorded against a group of assets comprising of one of our fabrication facilities and certain related technology and customer-based intangible assets in our imaging solutions business, and the restructuring charges were incurred in association with certain changes in our management and the early retirement of certain employees.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest Expense, net.    Net interest expense was $44.7 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, consistent with $43.0 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2006. Interest expense was incurred to service our notes in the amount of $750.0 million and drawings under our senior secured credit facility. At September 30, 2007, the notes bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 7.94%. Drawings under our senior secured credit facility bore interest at September 30, 2007 at either three-month LIBOR plus 4.75% or ABR plus 3.75%. The increase in net interest expense was mainly due to a decrease in interest income from financial assets including cash and cash equivalents and an increase in interest expense driven by drawdowns from the our senior secured credit facility.

Foreign Currency Gain, net.    Net foreign currency gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $11.3 million, compared to net foreign exchange gain of $40.9 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2006.

A substantial portion of our net foreign currency gain or loss is non-cash translation gain or loss recorded for intercompany borrowings at our Korean subsidiary and is affected by changes in the exchange rate between the Korean won and the U.S. dollar. The Korean won to U.S. dollar exchange rates were 913.6:1 and 946.0:1 using the noon buying rate in effect as of September 30, 2007 and October 1, 2006, respectively, as quoted by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Income Tax Expenses

Income Tax Expenses.    Income tax expenses for the current period were $6.6 million, compared to income tax expenses of $6.8 million for the same period of 2006. Our income tax expenses are mostly composed of withholding taxes on intercompany interest payments and changes in deferred tax assets. Due to the uncertainty of the utilization of foreign tax credits, we did not recognize these withholding taxes as deferred tax assets.

We derive a majority of our net sales from three reportable segments: Display Solutions, Imaging Solutions and Semiconductor Manufacturing Services. All other for the period also included certain business activities exited in late 2005 or early 2006, such as our application processor and DRAM foundry businesses.

Total net sales for 2006 decreased $193.3 million, or 20.6%, compared to 2005. Net sales generated from the three reportable 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 mainly due to a $102.8 million, or 63.0%, decrease in net sales from the Imaging Solutions segment and a $52.4 million, or 16.0%, decrease in net sales from the Display Solutions segment.

Display Solutions.    Net sales from Display Solutions for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $273.7 million, a $52.4 million, or a 16.1% decrease, from $326.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. This decrease was primarily attributable to a 14.7% decline in average selling prices and a 1.6% sales volume decrease in large display driver products.

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 delays in

transitioning to new megapixel products, resulting in a market share loss in this segment. Sales volume was decreased by 37.8% due to lower market demand and average selling prices were decreased by 36.2%.

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. The decrease was attributable to a 14.8% decrease in the average selling prices of eight-inch equivalent wafers, partially offset by 11.0% sales volume increase.

All other.    Net sales from All other for 2006 were $67.8 million compared to $102.9 million for 2005. This year-over-year sales reduction of $35.1 million was caused by the exit of our application processor and DRAM foundry businesses which generated $97.0 million of net sales in 2005, which were partially offset by a $60.8 million increase in sales from unit processing due to entering into a new arrangement with the customer.

Total gross profit decreased $109.2 million in 2006, or 52.4%, compared to 2005. Gross profit percentage for 2006 was 13.4% of net sales, a decrease of 8.9% from 22.3% for 2005. This decline in gross profit 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 profit 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 profit percentage was primarily attributable to a reduction of 14.7% in average selling prices from the previous year’s average selling prices and to higher overhead cost per-unit driven by a decrease in unit volume.

Table of Contents

Imaging Solutions.    Imaging Solutions reported a gross loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 primarily attributable to delays in transitioning to our new megapixel products and due to significant decreases in market demand for older products and a 36.2% decrease in average selling prices.

Semiconductor Manufacturing Services.    Gross profit percentage for Semiconductor Manufacturing Services declined to 13.4% in 2006 from 32.0% in 2005. The year-over-year decrease was primarily attributable to manufacturing a higher mix of larger geometry wafers, which generate lower gross profits than smaller geometry wafers resulting in a 14.8% decrease in average selling prices.

All other.    Gross profit percentage for All other for 2006 increased to 32.6% from 6.1% for the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase was 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 $123.2 million, or 13.1% of net sales, for the year ended December 31, 2005. This decrease of $35.5 million, or 28.9%, from the prior year was primarily attributable to a $13.3 million reduction in professional service fees driven by our cost containment efforts and a $11.5 million 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 $131.3 million, a $23.7 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 represented our focus on the introduction of new products. As a percentage of net sales, research and development expense increased to 17.6% in the more recent period as 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 and $1.4 million of restructuring charges under SFAS No. 146. 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 at our specialized fabrication facility was less than budgeted. This was primarily due to a transition in product mix, coupled with a seasonal decrease in market demand, which we deemed to be temporary and recoverable. However, in 2006, our management determined, based on revised forecasting, that projected demand for some of the 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 that 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 members of our management and other employees.

During the year ended December 31, 2005, we 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)

Interest Expense, net.    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. Interest expense was incurred to serve our notes in the amount of $750 million. At December 31, 2006, the notes bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 7.94%.

Foreign Currency Gain, net.    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 and is affected by changes in the Korean won to U.S. dollar exchange rate, which was 930.0:1 using the noon buying rate in effect as of December 31, 2006 as quoted by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as compared to 1,010:1 for the prior period.

Income Tax Expenses

Income tax expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $9.3 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 a change in business model. Income tax expenses for 2006 were 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.

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 $326.0 million, a $66.9 million or 25.9% increase from $259.2 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 decline of 8.0% in average selling prices.

Imaging Solutions.    Imaging Solutions net sales for the year ended December 2005 were $163.3 million, a decrease of $36.8 million or 18.4%, compared to $200.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. This decrease in net sales was mainly attributable to a 33.1% decline in average selling price, which was partially offset by a 24.7% increase in sales volume.

Semiconductor Manufacturing Services.    Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2005 generated from Semiconductor Manufacturing Services were $345.4 million, compared to $358.5 million of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2004, due to a 13.5% decrease in sales volume of eight-inch equivalent wafers and a 2.0% decrease in average selling price.

All other.    Net sales from All other decreased 61.5% to $102.9 million in 2005 from $267.3 million in 2004 as we strategically reduced DRAM foundry and application solutions in an effort to focus on our three major business segments.

Total gross profit for 2005 decreased $17.5 million or 7.7%, compared to gross profit generated in 2004 mainly due to a decrease in revenue base. Gross profit percentage for 2005 increased to 22.3% of net sales from 20.8% of net sales for 2004. This improvement in gross profit percentage was primarily attributable to lower depreciation costs for 2005 associated with the application of purchase accounting from the Original Acquisition.

Display Solutions.    Gross profit 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 profit percentage was primarily attributable to lower per-unit overhead costs driven by a significant increase in unit volume produced during 2005.

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

Semiconductor Manufacturing Services.    Gross profit percentage for Semiconductor Manufacturing Services increased to 32.0% in 2005 from 29.4% in 2004. This increase in gross profit percentage in 2005 resulted from lower depreciation expenses during the period.

All other.    Gross profit 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 $123.2 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

 

56


Table of Contents

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 expenses increased to 11.5% in 2005 from 9.0% in 2004.

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

Other Income (Expense)

Interest Expense, net.    Net interest expense was $57.2 million in 2005, a $22.8 million, or 66.3%, increase from aggregated interest expense of $34.5 million in 2004, which consisted of $17.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and $16.8 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 million, which was issued in December 2004 and outstanding throughout the year 2005.

Foreign Currency Gain, net.    Net foreign currency gain for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $16.5 million, compared to $35.8 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 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 a temporary difference related to revenue recognition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal capital requirements are to invest in research and development and capital equipment, to make debt service payments on the notes and our senior secured credit facility and to fund working capital needs. We anticipate that operating cash flow, together with available borrowing capacity under our senior secured credit facility, will be sufficient to meet our research and development and capital expenditures needs, to service requirements on our debt obligations and to fund our working capital needs for the foreseeable future. As of September 30, 2007, we had total long-term debt outstanding of $750 million.

Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash, cash equivalents and available borrowings under our senior secured credit facility of $100 million and the net proceeds from this offering. As of September 30, 2007, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $61.9 million, or 8.3%, of our total assets, a $27.3 million decrease from $89.2 million or 11.6% of total assets as of December 31, 2006. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 was primarily attributable to a cash outflow of $13.2 million in operating activities, coupled with a cash outflow related to

Table of Contents

capital expenditures during such period of $64.9 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 a 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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net cash used in operating activities was $13.2 million, compared to $36.6 million of net cash generated by operating activities during the year-ago period. This decrease in cash from operating activities between the two periods was primarily attributable to changes in operating assets and liabilities of $30.0 million, mostly impacted by an increase in accounts receivable due to higher sales during the three-month period ended September 30, 2007, and increases in inventories primarily due to the anticipation of sales growth. The net operating cash outflow for the current period principally reflects our net loss of $151.1 million adjusted by non-cash charges of $156.6 million, which mainly consisted of depreciation, impairment and amortization charges and an increase in working capital of $18.7 million. We generated cash from operating activities of $30.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2006, which principally reflected our 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 a 52.4% decrease in gross profits, mitigated by a decrease in working capital during the year 2006.

Our working capital balance as of September 30, 2007 was $59.3 million compared to $122.6 million as of December 31, 2006. The decrease of $63.3 million in our working capital balance was mainly due to a $117.4 million increase in current liabilities and $27.3 million reduction in cash and cash equivalents which was used to support our large capital investments and operations. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $47.7 million and a build-up in inventory of $36.3 million in anticipation of sales growth in future periods. 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 was mainly attributable to a 20.6% decline in total net sales.

For investing activities, the net cash outlay during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $64.4 million, compared to $20.2 million in the prior-year period, primarily relating to capacity expansion and technology improvements at a fabrication facility in anticipation of sales growth in future periods. During the year ended December 31, 2006, cash outlay for our capital expenditures was offset by a cash inflow from the sale of our application processor business. 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 research and development capability also led to a higher cash expenditures in 2005. We did not consummate any business acquisitions during the year 2006.

We generated $50.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from financing activities compared to the usage of $0.3 million for the nine-month period ended October 1, 2006. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we borrowed $70.4 million under our senior secured credit facility while we repaid borrowings under that facility of $20.0 million during the same period. We used $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $12.8 million for the

Table of Contents

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 during 2006 was mainly due to MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC’s repurchase of common units upon termination of certain members of our management and other employees. Cash outflow in 2005 was mainly attributable to for the repayment of short-term borrowings at one of our subsidiaries that we acquired during the year.

Borrowings under the senior secured credit facility are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the representations and warranties being true in all material respects, compliance with the covenants included in the senior secured credit facility (including the financial covenants) and no default occurring or continuing on the date of the borrowing. The senior secured credit facility agreement contains certain customary covenants and restrictions for a facility of this type, including those with respect to the future maintenance and conduct of the business, the incurrence of debt or liens, the making of certain investments, and the consummation of sale/leaseback transactions, affiliate transactions, mergers and consolidations, asset sales, distributions and dividends on capital stock, and certain acquisitions. The senior secured credit facility also contains financial covenants including:

 

  Ÿ  

maintaining a minimum coverage of interest expense;

 

  Ÿ  

maintaining debt leverage below specified levels;

 

  Ÿ  

maintaining a minimum level of consolidated EBITDA;

 

  Ÿ  

maintaining a minimum level of liquidity; and

 

  Ÿ  

limiting capital expenditures under specified thresholds.

On April 19, 2007, Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. downgraded the ratings on our indebtedness. We may experience additional downgrades in our debt ratings, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain favorable interest rates and other terms on any new debt we may choose to incur in the future, including any new debt we may incur to refinance existing indebtedness. In the event any ratings downgrades are significant, we may choose not to incur new debt or refinance existing debt if we are unable to incur or refinance such debt at favorable interest rates or on favorable terms.

Capital Expenditures.    For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, capital expenditures were $64.9 million, a $36.9 million or 131.7% increase from $28.0 million for the nine months ended October 1, 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 our capital expenditure timing in order to better support the growth of our business from new customers and to optimize asset utilization and return on capital investments.

Future Financing Activities.    Our primary future capital requirements on a recurring basis will be funding research and development and capital expenditures, meeting required debt payments and funding working capital needs. We anticipate that our operating cash flows, together with the proceeds of this offering and available borrowings, if any, under our senior secured credit facility, will be sufficient to meet these capital requirements for the foreseeable future. We may from time to time also incur additional debt.

We may need to incur additional debt or issue equity to make strategic acquisitions of investments. However, there can be no assurance that any such financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or that such financing will be available at all. Our senior secured credit facility and the indentures governing our notes restrict our ability to incur additional debt.

Contractual Obligations

Summarized in the table below are estimates of future payments under debt obligations and minimum lease payment obligations at September 30, 2007. Changes in our business needs or interest rates, as well as actions by third parties and other factors, may cause these estimates to change. Because these estimates are complex and necessarily subjective, our actual payments in future periods are likely to vary from those presented in the table below.

(1) Represents amounts due to be paid in the quarter ended December 31, 2007.
(2) Includes interest obligations thereon.
(3) Represents amounts outstanding under the senior secured credit facility.
(4) Includes interest obligations on the notes. For purposes of estimating the interest obligations under our Floating Rate Second Priority Senior Secured Notes, we used the average interest rate for such notes during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007.

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 on these notes are 3 month LIBOR + 3.25%, 6 7/8% and 8%, respectively. We expect to pay the amounts outstanding under these notes in full upon maturity.

Each indenture governing the notes contains covenants that limit our ability and that of our subsidiaries to (1) incur additional indebtedness, (2) pay dividends or make other distributions on our capital stock or repurchase, repay or redeem our capital stock, (3) make certain investments, (4) incur liens, (5) enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates, (6) create restrictions on the payment of dividends or other amounts to us by our subsidiaries, and (7) sell all or substantially all of our assets or merge with or into other companies.

In November 2007, the lenders under the senior secured credit facility waived certain provisions of the credit agreement to permit us to consummate the corporate reorganization and this offering and to use the proceeds from the offering as described in this prospectus. Upon consummation of the corporate reorganization, we will become a guarantor and grant a security interest with respect to the obligations under the senior secured credit facility.

We adopted the provisions of FIN No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes on January 1, 2007. As of the date of adoption, our unrecognized tax benefits totaled $1.6 million. These unrecognized tax benefits have been excluded from the above table because we cannot estimate the period of cash settlement with the respective taxing authorities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

On December 23, 2004, two of our subsidiaries, MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A. and MagnaChip Semiconductor Finance Company entered into a senior secured 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 our senior secured credit facility as of September 30, 2007 and

 

60


Table of Contents

December 31, 2006 was $35.5 million and $93.8 million, respectively. The utilized portions of the credit facility are related to the issuance of letters of credit and cash drawdowns.

Other than the senior secured credit facility, we believe 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 February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value in an attempt to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year 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 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.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures regarding contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates and judgments on historical experience, knowledge of current conditions and other assumptions and information that we believe to be reasonable. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be perceived with certainty. Accordingly, these estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the business environment in which we operate changes.

We have defined a critical accounting estimate as one that is both important to the portrayal of either our financial condition or results of operations and requires us to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates about matters that are uncertain. We have discussed the development and selection of our critical accounting policies with the audit committee of our board, and the audit committee has reviewed the disclosure presented below. We believe that the following are the critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. In addition, there are other items within our consolidated financial statements that require estimation but which we do not deem to be critical.

Revenue Recognition and Account Receivables Valuation

Our revenue is primarily derived from the sale of semiconductor products which we design and the manufacture of semiconductor wafers for third parties. We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered and title and risk of loss have

 

61


Table of Contents

transferred, the price is fixed and determinable, and collection of resulting receivables is reasonably assured.

We recognize revenue upon shipment, upon delivery of the product at the customer’s location or upon customer acceptance depending on terms of the arrangements, when the risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the customer. 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 currently manufacture a substantial portion of our products internally at our wafer fabrication facilities. In the future, we expect to rely, to some extent, on outside wafer foundries for additional capacity and advanced technologies.

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. The establishment of reserves for sales discounts is based on management judgments that require significant estimates of a variety of factors, including forecasted demand, returns and industry pricing assumptions. We record warranty liabilities for the estimated costs that may be incurred under our limited warranty. This warranty covers product defects based on compliance with our specifications and is normally applicable for twelve months from the date of purchase. These liabilities are accrued when revenues are recognized. Warranty costs include the costs to replace the defective products. Factors that affect our warranty liability include historical and anticipated rates 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 valued at the lower of cost or market, using the average method which approximates the first in, first out method. Because of the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry, changes in inventory levels, obsolescence of technology and product life cycles, we write down inventories to net realizable value. The difference in the carrying amount and the net realizable value is recognized as a loss on valuation of inventories within cost of sales. We estimate the net realizable value for such finished goods and work-in-progress based primarily upon the latest invoice prices and current market conditions.

We employ a variety of methodologies to determine the amount of inventory reserves necessary. While a portion of the reserve is determined via reference to the age of inventory and lower of cost or market calculations, an element of the reserve is subject to significant judgments made by us about future demand for our inventory. For example, reserves are established for excess inventory based on inventory levels in excess of six months of projected demand, as judged by management, for each specific product. If actual demand for our products is less than our estimates, additional reserves for existing inventories may need to be recorded in future periods.

In addition, as prescribed in SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs, the cost of inventories is determined based on the normal capacity of each fabrication facility. If the capacity utilization is lower than a level that management believes to be normal, the fixed overhead costs per production unit which exceed those which would be incurred when the fabrication facilities are running under normal capacity are charged to cost of sales rather than capitalized as inventories.

Long-Lived Assets

We assess long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets or the asset group may not be recoverable. Factors that we

 

62


Table of Contents

consider in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant under-performance of a business or product line in relation to expectations, significant negative industry or economic trends, and significant changes or planned changes in our use of the assets. Recoverability of assets that will continue to be used in our operations is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset group to our estimate of the related total future undiscounted net cash flows. If an asset group’s carrying value is not recoverable through the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset group is considered to be impaired. The impairment is measured by the difference between the asset group’s carrying amount and its fair value determined by either a quoted market price, if any, or a value determined by utilizing a discounted cash flow technique.

Impairments of long-lived assets are determined for groups of assets related to the lowest level of identifiable independent cash flows. We must make subjective judgments in determining the independent cash flows that can be related to specific asset groupings. Additionally, an evaluation of impairment of long-lived assets requires estimates of future operating results that are used in the preparation of the expected future undiscounted cash flows. Actual future operating results and the remaining economic lives of our long-lived assets could differ from the estimates used in assessing the recoverability of these assets.

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 regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability considering historical profitability, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and expiration of tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards. 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 established since it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets at this subsidiary will be realizable based on the current prospects for its future taxable income.

Changes in our evaluation of our deferred income tax assets from period to period could have a significant effect on our net operating results and financial condition.

In addition, beginning January 1, 2007, we account for uncertainties related to income taxes in compliance with FIN No 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of SFAS No. 109. Under FIN No. 48, we evaluate our tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return for recognition and measurement on our financial statements. Only those tax positions that meet the more likely than not threshold are recognized on the financial statements at the largest amount of benefit that is a greater than 50 percent likely of ultimately being realized.

Accounting for 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 provisions of

 

63


Table of Contents

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 our prior-period pro forma presentation under SFAS No. 123, we use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value unit 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 determination of the fair value of our common units on each grant date was a two-step process. First, management estimated our enterprise value in consultation with such advisers as we deemed appropriate. Second, this business enterprise value was allocated to all sources of capital invested in us based on each type of security’s respective rights and claims to our total business enterprise value. This allocation included a calculation of the fair value of our common units on a non-marketable, minority basis. The business enterprise value was determined based on an income approach and a market approach using the revenue multiples of comparable companies, giving appropriate weight to each approach. The income approach was based on the discounted cash flow method and an estimated weighted average cost of capital. The estimated fair value of our common units was calculated using an option pricing model, using the enterprise value, an estimated volatility, expected exercise term and a risk free interest rate.

Determination of the fair value of our common units involves complex and subjective judgments regarding projected financial and operating results, our unique business risks, the liquidity of our units and our operating history and prospects at the time of grant. If we make different judgments or adopt different assumptions, material differences could result in the amount of the share-based compensation expenses recorded because the estimated fair value of the underlying units for the options granted would be different.

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 September 30, 2007 for our Korean subsidiary, a 10% devaluation of the Korean won against the U.S. dollar would have resulted in a decrease of $1.0 million in our U.S. dollar financial instruments balance and cash balance. Based on the Japanese yen cash balance at September 30, 2007, a 10% devaluation of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar would have resulted in a decrease of $0.6 million in our U.S. dollar 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 September 30, 2007, we estimate that we would have additional interest expense costs over the market rate of $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The fair value of these fixed rate notes would have decreased by $7.4 million or increased by $7.7 million with a 10% increase or decrease in the interest rate, respectively.

Table of Contents

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. Pursuant to this interest rate swap and during the duration of such swap, cash flow interest rate risk was replaced with exposure to interest rate risk.

Display Solutions

Display Driver Characteristics.    Display drivers deliver defined analog voltages and currents that activate pixels to exhibit images on displays. The following key characteristics determine display driver performance and end-market application:

 

  Ÿ  

Resolution and Number of Channels. Resolution determines the level of detail displayed within an image and is defined by the number of pixels per line multiplied by the number of lines on a display. For large displays, higher resolution typically requires more display drivers for each panel. Display drivers that have a greater number of channels, however, generally require fewer display drivers for each panel and command a higher selling price per unit. Mobile displays, conversely, are typically single chip solutions designed to deliver a specific resolution. We cover resolutions ranging from QQVGA (160RGB x 120) to HVGA (320RGB x 480).

 

  Ÿ  

Color Depth. Color depth is the number of colors that can be displayed on a panel. For example, for TFT-LCD panels, 262 thousand colors are supported by 6-bit source drivers; 16 million colors are supported by 8-bit source drivers; and 1 billion colors are supported by 10-bit and 12-bit source drivers.

 

  Ÿ  

Operational Voltage. Display drivers are characterized by input and output voltages. Source drivers typically operate at input voltages from 2.0 to 3.6 volts and output voltages between 4.5 and 18 volts. Gate drivers typically operate at input voltages from 2.0 to 3.6 volts and output voltages of up to 40 volts. Lower input voltage results in lower power consumption and electromagnetic interference, or EMI.

 

  Ÿ  

Gamma Curve. The relationship between the light passing through a pixel and the voltage applied to the pixel by the source driver is referred to as the gamma curve. The gamma curve of the source driver can correct some imperfections in picture quality in a process generally known as gamma correction. Some advanced display drivers feature up to three independent gamma curves to facilitate this correction.

 

  Ÿ  

Driver Interface. Driver interface refers to the connection between the timing controller and the display drivers. Display drivers increasingly require higher bandwidth interface technology to address the larger data transfer rate necessary for higher definition images. The principal types of interface technologies are transistor-to-transistor logic, or TTL, reduced swing differential signaling, or RSDS, low current differential signaling, or LCDS, and mini-low voltage differential signaling, or mLVDS.

 

  Ÿ  

Package Type. The assembly of display drivers typically uses chip-on-film, or COF, tape carrier package, or TCP, and COG package types.

Mobile Displays Solutions.    Our mobile display solutions incorporate the industry’s most advanced display technologies, such as LTPS and AMOLED, as well as high volume technologies such as amorphous silicon, a-Si, TFT.

Power Solutions

We have begun marketing a new line of power management solutions. Our initial power management products include MOSFETs, DC-DC converters and linear regulators. These initial products are designed for applications such as mobile phones and LCD televisions and allow electronics manufacturers to achieve specific design goals of high efficiency and low standby power consumption. For mobile device applications, our product design is focused on improving battery life, while for LCD televisions, we have focused our product design on controlling and reducing standby power consumption. We believe that our power management solutions will enable customers to increase system stability and reduce heat dissipation and energy use, resulting in cost savings for our customers and consumers, as well as environmental benefits.

Imaging Solutions

We provide image sensors for large and rapidly growing camera-equipped applications, such as mobile handsets, PCs, digital cameras, notebook computers and security cameras. Our image sensors are designed to provide brighter, sharper and more colorful image quality for use primarily in applications that require a small form factor, low power consumption and high sensitivity in a variety of light conditions. Our captive manufacturing capabilities enable us to continuously refine our CMOS process and pixel technology to deliver improved image-capture sensitivity and accuracy.

Our CMOS image sensors are characterized by a high level of integration. Many CMOS image sensor systems are made up of at least two integrated circuits, including 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 without performance degradation has become an increasingly important requirement for manufacturers of camera phones and similar products. Our products meet this demand for

 

73


Table of Contents

smaller form factor by integrating both our proprietary image sensor and an ISP onto a single chip, thus occupying approximately half of the space required by conventional multiple chip solutions, while providing equivalent, or even superior, image quality with lower power consumption and a lower overall cost.

The choice of image sensor products by our customers may involve many factors such as light sensitivity, resolution, size of device, packaging and integration level. Our image sensors are available in multiple package types as well as with various levels of integration, ranging from stand alone image sensors to SoC solutions that integrate ISP and eDoF technologies, so as to service a broad range of customer needs.

Image sensor products are classified by resolution, which determines the visual detail in the image. As the size of the pixel decreases, smaller devices can be produced with higher resolution. Image sensors are comprised of an array of pixels. The pixel size and optical format, which is the size of the image area, determine the size of the pixel array. Smaller optical formats and pixel sizes enable higher resolutions without increasing device size. Our image sensors range from VGA devices at one end of the resolution spectrum up to 3.2 MP at the other.

The table below sets forth the key products and features of our image solutions currently either in mass production or development.

Manufacturing and Facilities

Our manufacturing operations consist of two sites located in Cheongju and Gumi in Korea. These sites have a combined capacity of approximately 119,000 eight-inch equivalent wafers per month. We

 

75


Table of Contents

manufacture wafers utilizing geometries ranging from 0.13 to 1.0 micron. The Cheongju facilities have three main buildings totaling 164,058 square meters devoted to manufacturing and development. The Gumi facilities have two main buildings with 50,352 square meters devoted to manufacturing, testing and packaging.

In addition to our fabrication facilities located in Cheongju and Gumi, Korea, we lease facilities in Seoul, Korea, Sunnyvale, California, and Tokyo and Osaka, Japan. Each of these facilities includes administration, sales and marketing and research and development functions. We lease a design facility in 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. Maintaining manufacturing control enables us to develop proprietary, differentiated products and results in higher production yields, as well as shortened design and production cycles. We believe our properties are adequate for the conduct of our business for the foreseeable future.

We use a combination of in-house and outsourced assembly, test and packaging services. Our independent providers of these services are located in Korea, China, Japan and Taiwan.

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 polysilicon, chemicals, gases and tape. Tape is one of the process materials required for our display drivers. We continue to attempt to qualify additional suppliers for our raw materials.

We are party to several building lease agreements, and land lease and easement agreements, with Hynix pursuant to which we lease certain of our facilities located in Cheongju, Korea to Hynix, and Hynix leases certain of its facilities to us. The lease terms are for twenty years from the date of the Original Acquisition with automatic extensions for ten year terms. However, the leases may be terminated by either party prior to the expiration of the terms upon the occurrence of a material breach by the other party or the cessation of business on the premises by the lessee, or by the lessee for any reason upon ninety days prior notice. Because we share certain facilities with Hynix, several services that are essential to our business are provided to us by or through Hynix under our general service supply agreement with Hynix. These services include electricity, bulk gasses and de-ionized water, campus facilities and housing, wastewater and sewage management, environmental safety and certain utilities and infrastructure support services. The services generally continue until the lease applicable to the property with respect to which the services are being provided terminates. However, certain of the services may be terminated by us prior to the applicable lease expiration. Hynix may also terminate this general service supply agreement upon a material breach by us or the cessation of business on the premises by us. Additionally, under a research and development equipment utilization agreement with Hynix, Hynix has granted us a right to use certain of its equipment for research and development purposes. The term of this agreement expires five years after the date of the Original Acquisition and may be extended for one additional year unless earlier terminated by either party upon the occurrence of a material breach by the other party. This agreement may also be terminated by Hynix if we cease to conduct certain permitted activities and, with respect to certain equipment, by us for any reason.

Sales and Marketing

We focus our sales and marketing strategy on creating and strengthening our relationships with leading consumer electronics OEMs, such as LG.Philips LCD, Sharp and Samsung, as well as analog and mixed-signal semiconductor companies. We believe our close collaboration with customers allows us to align our product and process technology development with our customers’ existing and future needs. Because our customers often service multiple end markets, our product sales teams are

 

76


Table of Contents

organized by customers as opposed to products. We believe this facilitates the sale of products that address multiple end-market applications to each of our customers. Our manufacturing services sales teams focus on marketing our services to mixed-signal semiconductor companies that require specialty manufacturing processes.

We sell our products through a direct sales force and a network of authorized agents and distributors. We have strategically located our sales and technical support offices near our customers. Our direct sales force consists primarily of representatives co-located with our design centers in Korea, Japan and the United States, as well as our local sales and support offices in Greater China and Europe. We have a network of agents and distributors in Korea, Japan, Europe and Greater China. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, we derived approximately 84% of net sales through our direct sales force and 16% of net sales through our network of authorized agents and distributors.

Research and Development

Our research and development efforts focus on intellectual property, design methodology and process technology for our complex analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products and services. Our expenditures for research and development were $101.1 million, representing 18.5% of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to 17.6% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 11.5% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Customers

We sell our products to consumer electronics OEMs as well as subsystem designers and contract manufacturers. We sell our manufacturing services to analog and mixed-signal semiconductor companies. We believe our end customers include a majority of the ten largest global consumer electronics companies by revenue. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, our 10 largest customers accounted for approximately 61.6% of our net sales, and we had one customer, LG.Philips LCD, representing greater than 10% of our net sales. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, we received revenues of $31.7 million from customers in the United States and $514.2 million from all foreign countries, of which 62.0% was from Korea, 16.7% from Taiwan, 8.8% from Japan and 8.2% from China, Hong Kong and Macau.

Intellectual Property

As of September 30, 2007, our portfolio of intellectual property assets included approximately 7,700 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, we do not believe that any single registered or pending patent is material to us.

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 processor cores. Some of these licenses, including our agreements with Silicon Works Co., Ltd. and ARM Limited, are material to our business and may be terminated prior to the expiration of these licenses by the licensors should we fail to cure any breach under such licenses. Additionally, in connection with the Original Acquisition, Hynix retained a perpetual license to use the intellectual property that we acquired from Hynix in the Original Acquisition. Under this license, Hynix and its subsidiaries are free to develop products that may incorporate or embody intellectual property developed by us prior to October 2004.

Competition

We operate in highly competitive markets characterized by rapid technological change and continually advancing customer requirements. 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 independent and captive manufacturers and designers of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits including display driver, power management and image sensor semiconductor devices, as well as companies providing specialty manufacturing services.

We compete based on design experience, manufacturing capabilities, the ability to service customer needs from the design phase through the shipping of a completed product, length of design cycle and quality of technical support and sales personnel. Our ability to compete successfully will depend on internal and external variables, both within and outside of our control. These variables include the timeliness with which we can develop new products and technologies, product performance and quality, manufacturing yields, capacity availability, customer service, pricing, industry trends and general economic trends.

Employees

Our worldwide workforce consisted of 3,575 employees (full- and part-time) as of September 30, 2007, of which 440 were involved in sales, general and administrative, 541 were in research and development (including 295 with advanced degrees), 93 were in quality, reliability and assurance and 2,501 were in manufacturing (comprised of 399 in engineering and 2,102 in operations). As of September 30, 2007, 2,187 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. We believe our labor relations are good.

Environmental

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) and waste, 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. There can be no assurance that we have been or will be in 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, any 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.

Legal Proceedings

We are subject to lawsuits and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business and intellectual property litigation and infringement claims. Intellectual property litigation and infringement claims, in particular, could cause us to incur significant expenses or prevent us from selling our products. We are currently not involved in any legal proceedings the outcome of which we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

For a description of our business and the distribution of our assets by geographic regions and reporting segments, see note 16 to the consolidated financial statements of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC for the year ended December 31, 2006 elsewhere in this prospectus.

Board Composition

Our amended and restated bylaws and securityholders’ agreement will provide that our board of directors will consist of ten members, including three representatives of Court Square, three representatives of Francisco Partners, one representative of CVC Asia Pacific, our chief executive officer, our chief financial officer and one independent director chosen by Court Square, Francisco Partners and our chief executive officer. Additional independent directors may be added by Court Square, Francisco Partners and our chief executive officer. The rights of nomination with respect to each of Court Square and Francisco Partners will be reduced to one director when its beneficial ownership falls below 10% of the beneficial ownership of all stockholders and will expire when its beneficial ownership falls below 5% of the beneficial ownership of all stockholders. CVC Asia Pacific’s rights of nomination will expire when its beneficial ownership falls below 5% of the beneficial ownership of all stockholders. A quorum of our board of directors requires a majority of the designees of each of Court Square and Francisco Partners. In addition, Court Square and Francisco Partners together have the right to place their designees on each committee created by our board of directors such that, together, these designees constitute at least a majority of such committee, and CVC Asia Pacific is entitled to minority representation on each committee, in each case until such time as their designated committee members are required to be removed as a result of us no longer qualifying for the “controlled company” exception under New York Stock Exchange rules.

Mr. Park, our Chief Executive Officer, is the chairman of our board of directors, and Mr. Krakauer, our President and Chief Financial Officer, is a director. Messrs. Schorr, Thomas and Baker have been

designated to serve on our board by Court Square. Messrs. Deb, Potamianos and Geday have been designated to serve on our board by Francisco Partners. Mr. Kuan has been designated to serve on our board by CVC Asia Pacific. Mr. Norby serves as the independent director unanimously approved by Court Square, Francisco Partners and our chief executive officer.

Court Square, Francisco Partners, CVC Asia Pacific, Peninsula Investments Pte. Ltd., and their affiliates, have advised us that they intend to file a Schedule 13D/G with the SEC following the closing of this offering to report their MagnaChip holdings as a group, and such entities collectively own more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities. Because these stockholders are parties to a securityholders’ agreement, they are considered a “group,” and we are therefore considered a “controlled company” within the meaning of New York Stock Exchange rules. As a result, we rely on exemptions from the requirements of having a majority of independent directors, a fully independent nominating and governance committee, a fully independent compensation committee, nominating and governance and compensation committee charters and other requirements prescribed for such committees by the NYSE. Following the closing of this offering, we expect to remain a “controlled company” and to continue to rely on these exceptions. The “controlled company” exception does not modify the independence requirements for the audit committee, and we intend to comply with the applicable independence rules for audit committees. In view of our status as a controlled company under the NYSE rules, our board has not made a determination of independence with respect to any of our directors not serving on our audit committee.

Audit Committee

Our audit committee includes Chairman R. Douglas Norby, Mr. Schorr and, upon the closing of this offering, will also include at least one other director. Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Norby is an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act. Each of the members of our audit committee is “independent” as that term is defined in both Rule 303A of the NYSE rules and Rule 10A-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and, upon the closing of this offering, will be an “independent director” as that term is defined in Rule 303A of the NYSE rules.

In considering the independence of Mr. Schorr, our board of directors took into consideration that he served as a Managing Partner of CVC from December 2001 to September 2005, and also holds a limited amount of our outstanding debt securities.

Compensation Committee

The compensation committee of the board consists of Messrs. Deb, Schorr and Thomas. The compensation committee has overall responsibility for evaluating and approving our executive officer and director compensation plans, policies and programs, as well as all equity-based compensation plans and policies.

Nominating and Governance Committee

The nominating and governance committee consists of Messrs. Norby, Potamianos and Thomas. The nominating and governance committee mandate is to identify qualified individuals to become members of the board, to oversee an annual evaluation of the board of directors and its committees to periodically review and recommend to the board any proposed changes to our corporate governance guidelines and to monitor our corporate governance structure.

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is also available on our website at www.magnachip.com.

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 ensures that the total compensation paid to executive officers is fair, reasonable and competitive. Throughout this prospectus, Sang Park, Robert J. Krakauer, Victoria Miller Nam, Tae Young Hwang, Chan Hee Lee, Jason Hartlove and Youm Huh are referred to as the “named executive officers.”

The Committee evaluates our compensation packages to ensure that (1) we maintain our ability to attract and retain superior executives in critical positions and (2) 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 stockholders by rewarding performance above specific annual, long-term and strategic goals that are intended to improve stockholder value. These objectives include the achievement of financial performance goals and progress in projects that our board of directors anticipates will lead to future growth as discussed more fully below.

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. As a general matter, we benchmark salaries for our named executive officers to median levels for companies in the semiconductor industry and provide incentive compensation to raise those salaries above such levels if incentive targets are achieved.

The Committee annually reviews the performance of the chief executive officer. Based upon this review, the Committee sets the salary of, and incentive awards, if any, to be paid to, our chief executive officer. The Committee has the exclusive authority to set the chief executive officer’s compensation. The chief executive officer annually reviews the performance of our other named executive officers. The chief executive officer subsequently presents conclusions and recommendations regarding such officers, including proposed salary adjustments and incentive amounts, to the Committee. The Committee then makes the final decision regarding any adjustments or awards. The review of performance by the Committee and the chief executive officer of other executive officers is a subjective assessment of each executive’s contribution to company or division performance, leadership qualities, strengths and weaknesses and the individual’s achievement of performance objectives set by the Committee or the chief executive officer, as applicable. The Committee and the chief executive officer do not systematically assign a weight to the factors, and may in their discretion consider any one factor to be more important for a particular executive. The Committee’s annual determinations regarding executive compensation are subject to the terms of the

 

84


Table of Contents

respective service agreements between us and the named executive officers. In addition to the annual reviews, the Committee also typically considers compensation changes upon a named executive officer’s promotion or other change in job responsibility.

The Committee approves annual guidance regarding the cash compensation of all other officers, but has empowered the chief executive officer to make final compensation decisions with the Committee’s guidance. The Committee develops its annual guidance based on our annual operating plan, including the expected conduct of our business in the coming fiscal year, and then modifies the guidance on an as-needed basis to adjust for changes in our business during the year. The Committee makes all equity compensation decisions for our officers based on existing compensation arrangements for other executives at the same level of responsibility in our company and our market. The Committee may make additional equity compensation grants from time to time in its discretion.

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 (as described below, collectively, the “Benchmark Group”). The composition of the Benchmark Group is determined annually by the Committee in consultation with the chief executive officer and our human resources department. For Korean executives, the Benchmark Group includes Samsung Electronics, LG.Philips LCD and Hynix, as well as the Korean divisions of certain technology companies based outside of Korea such as Sony Korea, Toshiba Electronics Korea and National Semiconductor Korea, for which we obtain salary data from commercial salary surveys. For U.S. and expatriate executives, the Committee relies on market data obtained through an Internet-based salary data search tool that provides information on compensation paid to executives holding comparable positions in the United States based on aggregated data from a broad range of U.S. companies, including those in the technology sector.

The Committee seeks to establish the total cash compensation packages of our named executive officers slightly above the median total cash compensation of the Benchmark Group, subject to variations based on an executive officer’s experience and performance. The Committee then 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. The Committee does not apply a formula or assign these performance measures relative weights. Instead, it makes a subjective determination after considering such measures collectively. The Committee often has evaluated these metrics on a cumulative, rather than annual, basis as we have pursued our goals of becoming a public company.

Base Salary.    Base salary is the guaranteed element of an employee’s annual cash compensation. Increases in base salary reflect the employee’s long-term performance, skill set and the value of that skill set as well as changes to the compensation arrangements provided by the companies within our Benchmark Group. The Committee evaluates the performance of each named executive officer on an annual basis based on the accomplishment of performance objectives that were established at the beginning of the prior fiscal year as well as its own subjective evaluation of his or her performance. In making its evaluation, the Committee determines changes in the base salary of each named executive officer based on a subjective qualitative assessment of his or her contribution to the performance of the Company during the preceding year, including assessing leadership, success in attaining particular goals of a division for which that officer has responsibility, overall financial performance of MagnaChip and such other criteria as the Committee may deem relevant. The Committee does not systematically assign weights to any of the factors it considers, and may in its discretion deem any one factor to have greater importance for a particular executive officer.

Cash Incentives.    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

 

85


Table of Contents

goals and to recognize and reward 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 quantitative goals set by our Committee. In our fiscal year 2007, the Committee began to base its quantitative goals on quarterly EBITDA and revenue goals for the overall company and quarterly margin and revenue goals for our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services, Display Solutions and Imaging Solutions divisions. The Committee calculates EBITDA by adding depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, interest expense and provision for income taxes to net income or loss. The Committee uses EBITDA as a basis for determining the amount of cash incentives to be awarded to its executives because, in the opinion of the Committee, EBITDA is a measure of operating performance that is particularly useful with respect to companies that have a significant amount of indebtedness. By excluding those expenses, such as depreciation and amortization, taxes and interest expense, which the Committee does not view to be indicative of operating performance, the Committee can award cash incentives to executives based upon the operating performance of the company. The total yearly incentive is calculated and distributed on a quarterly basis, with 10% of the eligible incentive paid in the first fiscal quarter, 20% paid in the second fiscal quarter, 25% paid in the third fiscal quarter and 45% paid in the fourth fiscal quarter (each, an “Eligible Quarterly Incentive”). These incentives are awarded in three achievement levels, beginning with the achievement of 80% of targeted EBITDA (or, as applicable, margin) goals, and revenue goals and rising to 150% of target EBITDA (or margin) and revenue goals. For each named executive officer, at the lowest achievement level, 70% of the Eligible Quarterly Incentive is awarded, at the middle achievement level, 100% of the Eligible Quarterly Incentive is awarded and at the highest achievement level, 150% of Eligible Quarterly Incentive is awarded. The three achievement levels are determined by the Committee based on forecasts prepared by us. The Committee sets the achievement levels at a high level of difficulty. No named executive officer attained the highest achievement level in any of the three fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2007, and our named executive officers attained the middle achievement level in only one of the three quarters. The eligible incentive for named executives is set forth in each individual’s service agreement. See “—Service Agreements and Named Executive Officer Compensation.” The Committee has modified and may in the future modify the eligible incentive for our named executive officers. The incentive for the General Managers of our Imaging Solutions, Display Solutions and Semiconductor Manufacturing Services divisions are based on a combination of general corporate and divisional goals, while incentive payments for the chief executive officer and other named executive officers are based exclusively on general corporate goals. Officers who have responsibility for more than one division are awarded the greater available incentive. In 2006, the Committee awarded discretionary bonuses to recognize outstanding individual performance, and the Committee may again award discretionary bonuses in 2007. In 2006, each of the named executive officers other than Dr. Huh were awarded discretionary bonuses.

Equity Compensation.    In addition to cash incentives, we offer equity incentives as a way to enhance the link between the creation of stockholder 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 stock, stock options and stock appreciation rights. Although the Committee granted restricted unit awards at the time of the Original Acquisition (which will be converted into restricted stock awards upon our corporate reorganization), the Committee has determined that it will only grant restricted shares of common stock in the future in exceptional cases. In granting equity awards, the Committee may establish any conditions or restrictions it deems appropriate. Grants of restricted stock or stock options typically vest four years after the date of the grant, and all grants of our stock options are made at or above the fair market value of the stock at the time of the grant. Vesting and exercise rights generally cease upon termination of employment. Prior to the exercise of a stock option, the holder has no rights as a stockholder with respect to the stock subject to such option, including voting rights and the right to receive dividends or dividend equivalents.

 

86


Table of Contents

Our stockholders and board of directors have delegated to the Committee the authority to grant stock option awards within a total pool of our common stock available upon exercise of the stock options. The size of the option pool is based on market surveys of peer companies in a similar growth stage and on our stockholders’ determination of an appropriately-sized pool to ensure recruitment and retention of key executives and employees. At this time, the Committee does not grant additional equity compensation to executives as part of the normal annual review process. However, the Committee will consider additional equity compensation in the event of new employment, or a promotion or change in job responsibility, such as when Mr. Park was appointed our chief executive officer. The stock option award levels vary among participants based on their job grade and position. The Committee makes a subjective determination regarding award amounts in light of the available pool, and will provide higher awards to those executives in positions considered by the Committee to be more critical to us. The Committee will generally maintain equivalent award levels for executives at equivalent job grades in positions with no material difference in criticality. Messrs. Hwang and Lee, for example, have an equal number of stock options. Stock option awards are not tied to base salary or cash incentive amounts.

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, the March 2006 option grants to Mr. Krakauer, Mr. Hartlove, Ms. Miller Nam, Mr. Hwang and Mr. Lee were performance-based incentives under the MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC Equity Incentive Plan and were intended by our board of directors to further encourage these executive officers to advance MagnaChip toward an initial public offering of our common equity or other return on investment for our equityholders. The relative size of the grants varied among the grantees depending upon the rank of the offices held by the grantees at the time of the grant. The board made these 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: (1) the date of the first closing of a firmly underwritten public offering for any of our equity securities, and (2) the date, as designated in the sole discretion of the Committee, on which our equityholders as of October 6, 2004 achieve a 250% 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, and the amounts of each grant are described in greater detail under “Grants of Plan Based Awards for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2006.” The Committee determined the number of options to be appropriate based on improvement to our operating cash flow, acceleration of profit development and our overall performance.

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. 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.

Mr. Park, Mr. Krakauer and Ms. Miller Nam were expatriates during all or part of 2006 and received expatriate benefits commensurate with market practice in Korea. These perquisites, which were determined on a individual basis, included housing allowances, relocation allowances, insurance premiums, reimbursement for the use of a car, home leave flights, living expenses, tax equalization payments and tax advisory services, each as the Committee deemed appropriate. The base salary and incentives for these named executive officers therefore constituted a lower proportion of total compensation in comparison to Messrs. Hwang and Lee, both of whom reside in their home country.

Table of Contents

In addition, 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 interest 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 only the base statutory severance is available.

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).

Compensation Developments Since 2006,    In November 2007, our board of directors adopted our 2008 Equity Incentive Plan and our 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan to provide our directors, executives and other employees with additional incentives by allowing them to acquire an ownership interest in our business and, as a result, encouraging them to contribute to our success. These plans will be effective upon the approval of our stockholders, which is currently anticipated to occur in February 2008. The number of shares reserved under each of the plans may not initially exceed              and             , respectively, subject to future automatic increases as more fully described on pages 93 through 95 of this prospectus.

Service Agreements and Named Executive Officer Compensation.    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:

MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC California Equity Incentive Plan and the MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC Equity Incentive Plan

In October 2004 and March 2005, respectively, the board of directors of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC adopted the MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC Equity Incentive Plan and the MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC California Equity Incentive Plan, which we refer to as the Prior Plans. The equityholders of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC approved the MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC California Equity Incentive Plan in March 2005. The Prior Plans each provide for the award of

Table of Contents

nonstatutory options, unit appreciation rights, or SARs, and restricted unit awards to employees, consultants or non-employee directors of MagnaChip and its subsidiaries. However, only options and restricted unit awards have been granted under the Prior Plans. 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 Prior Plans are substantially identical, except that the California Equity Incentive Plan contains certain provisions required for compliance with then applicable California law. In connection with our corporate reorganization, we will assume the rights and obligations of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC under the Prior Plans and convert MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC unit options outstanding under the Prior Plans into options to acquire a number of shares of our common stock at a ratio of              on substantially equivalent terms and conditions. Following the corporate reorganization, a combined total of              shares of common stock will be reserved for issuance under the Prior Plans. As of September 30, 2007, based upon the common units of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC outstanding as of September 30, 2007 and after giving pro forma effect to the corporate reorganization pursuant to which each common unit will be exchanged for shares of our common stock at a ratio of             , there would have been outstanding under the Prior Plans options to purchase             shares of common stock, at a weighted average exercise price of $             per share. Our board of directors will terminate the Prior Plans effective upon the closing of this offering, and no additional options or other equity awards may be granted under the Prior Plans following their termination. However, options granted under the Prior Plans prior to their termination will remain outstanding until they are either exercised or expire.

The Prior Plans are administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors. Subject to the provisions of the Prior Plans, the committee determined in its discretion the persons to whom and the times at which awards were granted, the sizes of such awards, and all of their terms and conditions. All awards are evidenced by a written agreement between us and the holder of the award. The committee has the authority to construe and interpret the terms of the Prior Plans and awards granted under them.

In the event of a merger, consolidation, change in control or liquidation of our company, the committee has the authority to take any of the following actions with respect to one or more outstanding options: accelerate the vesting of outstanding options or SARs; require that awards be assumed or replaced with awards of equivalent value by the successor corporation; terminate any award immediately prior to any such transaction, provided that at least seven days written notice is provided to the option or SAR holders affording them an opportunity to exercise the options or SARs; cancel the outstanding awards in exchange for a payment in cash of the fair market value of restricted units or the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares subject to an option or SAR less the exercise price per share of such option or base price of such SAR; or any other action that the committee considers to be reasonable under the circumstances.

2008 Equity Incentive Plan

Our 2008 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2008 Plan, was approved by our board of directors in November 2007 and will be effective upon its approval by our stockholders, currently anticipated in February 2008.

A total of              shares of our common stock will be initially authorized and reserved for issuance under the 2008 Plan. This reserve will automatically increase on January 1, 2009 and each subsequent anniversary through 2017, by an amount equal to the smaller of (a) 2.5% of the number of shares of

 

94


Table of Contents

common stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, or (b) a lesser amount determined by the board. Appropriate adjustments will be made in the number of authorized shares and other numerical limits in the 2008 Plan and in outstanding awards to prevent dilution or enlargement of participants’ rights in the event of a stock split or other change in our capital structure. Shares subject to awards which expire or are cancelled or forfeited will again become available for issuance under the 2008 Plan. The shares available will not be reduced by awards settled in cash or by shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations. Only the net number of shares issued upon the exercise of stock appreciation rights or options exercised by means of a net exercise or by tender of previously owned shares will be deducted from the shares available under the 2008 Plan.

Awards may be granted under the 2008 Plan to our employees, including officers, directors, or consultants or those of any present or future parent or subsidiary corporation or other affiliated entity. While we may grant incentive stock options only to employees, we may grant nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock purchase rights or bonuses, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units and cash-based awards or other stock-based awards to any eligible participant.

Only members of the board of directors who are not employees at the time of grant are eligible to participate in the nonemployee director awards component of the 2008 Plan. The board or the compensation committee will set the amount and type of nonemployee director awards to be awarded on a periodic, non-discriminatory basis. Nonemployee director awards may be granted in the form of nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards.

In the event of a change in control as described in the 2008 Plan, the acquiring or successor entity may assume or continue all or any awards outstanding under the 2008 Plan or substitute substantially equivalent awards. Any awards which are not assumed or continued in connection with a change in control or are not exercised or settled prior to the change in control will terminate effective as of the time of the change in control. The compensation committee may provide for the acceleration of vesting of any or all outstanding awards upon such terms and to such extent as it determines, except that the vesting of all nonemployee director awards will automatically be accelerated in full. The 2008 Plan also authorizes the compensation committee, in its discretion and without the consent of any participant, to cancel each or any outstanding award denominated in shares upon a change in control in exchange for a payment to the participant with respect to each share subject to the cancelled award of an amount equal to the excess of the consideration to be paid per share of common stock in the change in control transaction over the exercise price per share, if any, under the award.

2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Our 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or the Purchase Plan, was adopted by our board of directors in November 2007 and will be effective upon its approval by our stockholders, currently anticipated in February 2008.

A total of                 shares of our common stock are initially authorized and reserved for sale under the Purchase Plan. In addition, the Purchase Plan provides for an automatic annual increase in the number of shares available for issuance under the plan on January 1 of each year beginning in 2009 and continuing through and including January 1, 2017 equal to the lesser of (1)              one percent of our then issued and outstanding shares of common stock on the immediately preceding December 31, (2)              shares or (3) a number of shares as our board may determine. Appropriate adjustments will be made in the number of authorized shares and in outstanding purchase rights to prevent dilution or enlargement of participants’ rights in the event of a stock split or other change in our capital structure.

 

95


Table of Contents

Shares subject to purchase rights which expire or are canceled will again become available for issuance under the Purchase Plan.

Our employees and employees of any parent or subsidiary corporation designated by the administrator are eligible to participate in the Purchase Plan if they are customarily employed by us for more than 20 hours per week and more than five months in any calendar year. However, an employee may not be granted a right to purchase stock under the Purchase Plan if: (1) the employee immediately after such grant would own stock possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of our capital stock or of any parent or subsidiary corporation, or (2) the employee’s rights to purchase stock under all of our employee stock purchase plans would accrue at a rate that exceeds $25,000 in value for each calendar year of participation in such plans.

The Purchase Plan is implemented through a series of sequential offering periods, generally three months in duration beginning on the first trading days of January, April, July, and October each year. However, the administrator may establish an offering period to commence on the effective date of the Purchase Plan that will end on June 30, 2008. The administrator is authorized to establish additional or alternative sequential or overlapping offering periods and offering periods having a different duration or different starting or ending dates, provided that no offering period may have a duration exceeding 27 months.

Amounts accumulated for each participant, generally through payroll deductions, are credited toward the purchase of shares of our common stock at the end of each offering period at a price generally equal to 95% of the fair market value of our common stock on the purchase date. Prior to commencement of an offering period, the administrator is authorized to change the purchase price discount for that offering period, but the purchase price may not be less than 85% of the lower of the fair market value of our common stock at the beginning of the offering period or at the end of the offering period.

The maximum number of shares a participant may purchase in any three-month offering period is the lesser of (i) that number of shares determined by multiplying (x)              shares by (y) the number of months (rounded to the nearest whole month) in the offering period and rounding to the nearest whole share or (ii) that number of whole shares determined by dividing (x) the product of $2,083.33 and the number of months (rounded to the nearest whole month) in the offering period and rounding to the nearest whole dollar by (y) the fair market value of a share of our common stock at the beginning of the offering period. Prior to the beginning of any offering period, the administrator may alter the maximum number of shares that may be purchased by any participant during the offering period or specify a maximum aggregate number of shares that may be purchased by all participants in the offering period. If insufficient shares remain available under the plan to permit all participants to purchase the number of shares to which they would otherwise be entitled, the administrator will make a pro rata allocation of the available shares. Any amounts withheld from participants’ compensation in excess of the amounts used to purchase shares will be refunded, without interest.

In the event of a change in control, an acquiring or successor corporation may assume our rights and obligations under the Purchase Plan. If the acquiring or successor corporation does not assume such rights and obligations, then the purchase date of the offering periods then in progress will be accelerated to a date prior to the change in control.

He receives board fees of $55,000 per year for his service as a director and Chairman of our Audit Committee. In addition to director fees, effective January 19, 2006, Armando Geday received options to acquire 175,000 of the common units of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC at a purchase price of $1.04 per unit pursuant to the MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC Equity Incentive Plan.

The options expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Advisory Agreements

In connection with the Original Acquisition and the related equity financing, MagnaChip Korea and MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC entered into advisory agreements with each of Court Square Advisor, LLC (successor in interest to CVC Management LLC), Francisco Partners Management, LLC and CVC Capital Partners Asia Limited, which are related to Court Square, Francisco Partners and CVC Asia Pacific, respectively, pursuant to which agreements such entities may provide financial, advisory and consulting services to MagnaChip Korea and MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC. 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 Court Square Advisor, Francisco Partners Management and CVC Capital Partners Asia Limited. Pursuant to the advisory agreements, we will pay to the sponsors an aggregate of $9.75 million for services provided prior to the completion of this offering. Following such payment, the sponsors will no longer be required to provide advisory services under the advisory agreements, and all future annual advisory fees under the advisory agreements will cease. However, we may pay future services fees to the sponsors in exchange for any acquisition, financing or other advisory services as we and the sponsors may agree.

Securityholders’ Agreement and Amended and Restated Bylaws

We and certain of our stockholders, including the sponsors, are parties to the securityholders’ agreement that will be amended and restated upon the completion of this offering. The amended and restated securityholders’ agreement (as well as our amended and restated bylaws) covers matters of corporate governance. In addition, the amended and restated securityholders’ agreement also contains restrictions on transfer of our securities, tag-along rights, rights to compel a sale, registration rights and information rights, all as described below.

Corporate Governance.    Our amended and restated bylaws and securityholders’ agreement provide that our board of directors will consist of ten members. Court Square, Francisco Partners, CVC Asia Pacific and Peninsula and we have agreed that the nominees to our board of directors will include three representatives of Court Square, three representatives of Francisco Partners, one representative of CVC Asia Pacific, our chief executive officer, our chief financial officer and one independent director chosen by Court Square, Francisco Partners and our chief executive officer. Until such time as we no longer qualify for the “controlled company exception,” the board of directors may not take certain significant actions without the approval of the board designees of Court Square or Francisco Partners. These actions include, among others: mergers, acquisitions or sales of assets; the declaration of dividends or other distributions; any liquidation, dissolution or bankruptcy; any incurrence or refinancing of indebtedness in excess of $2.0 million; issuances of securities; appointment, dismissal and compensation and benefits for our chief executive officer and chief financial officer; approval of our business plan, budget and strategy; amendments to the securityholders’ agreement and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws; and any increase or decrease in the number of directors that comprise the board. See “Management—Board Composition.”

Restrictions on Transfer.    Generally, the parties to the amended and restated securityholders’ agreement are prohibited from transferring their MagnaChip securities without complying with restrictions relating to the timing of the transfer, the number of securities subject to the transfer and the transferee of such securities. Subject to certain exceptions reflected in the securityholders’ agreement, each transfer of securities by a party to the securityholders’ agreement is subject to the following provisions:

Tag-Along Sale.    Neither Court Square nor Francisco Partners shall transfer its securities, subject to limited exceptions, without permitting each other stockholder that is party to the securityholders’

 

110


Table of Contents

agreement to participate ratably in the sale as a tagging person on the basis of the tagging person’s percentage ownership of the common shares being transferred. The tag-along provisions expire on the date on which Court Square and Francisco Partners together cease to own an aggregate of 35% or more of their initial ownership of common shares. The tag-along provisions do not apply to sales in a public offering, pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act or in a compelled sale, as described below.

Compelled Sale.    Court Square and Francisco Partners together have the right to effect a compelled sale, which means that if they negotiate a transfer of a significant percentage of their MagnaChip securities, they can require the other stockholders party to the agreement to participate ratably in that transfer. The compelled sale provision terminates on the third anniversary of the closing of this offering.

Registration Rights.    Court Square, Francisco Partners, CVC Asia Pacific and the other parties to the securityholders’ agreement have registration rights with respect to our common stock. See “Description of Capital Stock—Registration Rights.”

Information Rights.    Pursuant to the securityholders’ agreement we are obligated to deliver to the parties to the agreement financial information, management reports, reports from our independent public accountants, information related to our indebtedness and any additional information regarding our financial position or business that they reasonably request, subject to the confidentiality obligations under the agreement.

DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS

The following discussion is a summary and is not complete and is subject in its entirety by reference to the actual provisions of the documents referred to below.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On December 23, 2004, MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC and its subsidiaries entered into a senior secured credit agreement with a syndicate of banks, financial institutions and other entities, as lenders, UBS Securities LLC, as arranger, and UBS AG, Stamford Branch, as administrative agent and priority lien collateral agent, providing for a $100 million senior secured revolving credit facility which will mature on December 22, 2009. The borrowers under the senior secured credit facility are MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A. and MagnaChip Semiconductor Finance Company, two of our wholly owned subsidiaries. We intend to use a portion of the proceeds of this offering to repay amounts drawn under our senior secured credit facility.

Subject to compliance with customary conditions precedent, revolving loans, swing line loans and letters of credit are available at any time prior to the final maturity of the senior secured credit facility. Standby letters of credit of up to $40 million have an expiry date of no later than one year after issuance and, in any case, no later than 15 days prior to the final maturity of the senior secured credit facility.

MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC and each of its current direct and indirect subsidiaries are (and each future direct and indirect subsidiary (to the extent legally permissible) will be) guarantors of the senior secured credit facility (except for MagnaChip Semiconductor (Shanghai) Company Limited). The senior secured credit facility is secured on a first-priority basis, directly or through one or more secured guarantees, by collateral that principally consists of (1) substantially all of the owned real property and equipment of MagnaChip Korea, (2) substantially all of the assets of each of the other guarantors, (3) material patents and trademarks owned by MagnaChip Korea (exclusive of any jointly owned intellectual property) and (4) the intercompany loans owing by and among MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC and its subsidiaries, in each case subject to certain exceptions. The senior secured credit facility is also secured by pledges of the equity interests of the subsidiaries of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC that are guarantors.

Loans made under the senior secured credit facility bear interest equal to a margin based on the ratio of consolidated indebtedness of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC to its consolidated EBITDA plus, at the option of the borrowers, either LIBOR or the greater of the corporate base rate of the administrative agent or the federal funds rate plus 0.50%. As of September 30, 2007, this margin was 4.75% per annum for LIBOR-based loans and 3.75% per annum for base rate-based loans.

If at any time an event of default has occurred and is continuing, interest will accrue at 5.75% plus the greater of the corporate base rate of the administrative agent or the federal funds rate plus 0.50%. Default interest is payable on demand. All other interest on all loans under the senior secured credit facility are payable at maturity and, with respect to LIBOR-rate loans, at the end of the applicable interest periods (which may be 1, 2, 3, 6 or 9 months), and with respect to the base rate loans, on the last business day of each calendar quarter. In addition, the borrowers are required to pay an unused facility fee to the senior lenders equal to 0.5% per annum of the average unused daily balance of the senior secured credit facility, commencing on the execution and delivery of the senior secured credit facility and payable quarterly in arrears, based upon the actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year.

The borrowers also pay a participation fee and fronting fees with respect to the letters of credit issued under the credit facility.

Table of Contents

Other than with respect to mandatory prepayments, outstanding amounts under the senior secured credit facility may be reborrowed and repaid from time to time without premium or penalty, provided that availability requirements are met. In addition, under certain circumstances, loans outstanding under the senior secured credit facility must be prepaid with the proceeds of asset sales and casualty and condemnation proceeds. In the event proceeds of asset sales and casualty and condemnation proceeds are not reinvested into the business within a certain specified period of time, the amount of such uninvested proceeds will reduce permanently the outstanding commitments available under the senior secured credit facility.

The senior secured credit facility agreement contains certain customary covenants and restrictions for a facility of this type, including those with respect to the future maintenance and conduct of the business, the incurrence of debt or liens, the making of certain investments, and the consummation of sale/leaseback transactions, affiliate transactions, mergers and consolidations, asset sales, distributions and dividends on capital stock, and certain acquisitions.

The senior secured credit facility also contains financial covenants including, but not limited to:

 

  Ÿ  

maintaining a minimum coverage of interest expense;

 

  Ÿ  

maintaining debt leverage below specified levels;

 

  Ÿ  

maintaining a minimum level of consolidated EBITDA;

 

  Ÿ  

maintaining a minimum level of liquidity; and

 

  Ÿ  

limiting capital expenditures under specified thresholds.

Borrowings under the senior secured credit facility are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the representations and warranties being true in all material respects, compliance with the covenants included in the senior secured credit facility (including the financial covenants) and no default occurring or continuing on the date of the borrowing.

The senior secured credit facility includes certain customary events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to certain indebtedness, including the notes, certain events of bankruptcy, material judgments, the invalidity of the documentation with respect to the senior secured credit facility in any material respect, the failure of the security interests in any material collateral created under the security documents for the senior secured credit facility to be enforceable or to have the purported priority thereunder or the occurrence of a change of control. If an event of default occurs (other than as a result of bankruptcy or a similar proceeding, in which case acceleration of the indebtedness will be automatic), the senior lenders will be entitled to take certain actions, including the acceleration of all amounts due under the senior secured credit facility and all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor.

In November 2007, the lenders under the senior secured credit facility waived certain provisions of the credit agreement to permit us to consummate the corporate reorganization and this offering and to use the proceeds from the offering as described in this prospectus. Upon consummation of the corporate reorganization, we will become a guarantor and grant a security interest with respect to the obligations under the senior secured credit facility.

The Second Priority Senior Secured Notes

On December 23, 2004, MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A. and MagnaChip Semiconductor Finance Company, two of our wholly owned subsidiaries, issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of second priority senior secured notes, consisting of $300 million aggregate principal amount of floating rate second priority senior secured notes due 2011 and $200 million aggregate principal amount of 6 7/8% second priority senior secured notes due 2011. As of September 30, 2007, we had $500 million aggregate principal amount of the second priority senior secured notes outstanding.

Table of Contents

The notes issuers’ obligations under the second priority senior secured notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC and its current direct and indirect subsidiaries (except for MagnaChip Semiconductor (Shanghai) Company Limited) and future direct and indirect subsidiaries (to the extent legally permissible). The obligations of the issuers and guarantors under the indenture governing the second priority senior secured notes are secured by second priority liens on substantially all of the collateral owned by such entities (other than any equity interests owned by such entities). These security interests are junior in priority to the security interests securing the obligations under the senior secured credit facility and all other permitted prior liens under the indenture.

If there is a change of control, the issuers must give the holders of the second priority senior secured notes the opportunity to sell their notes to the issuers at a purchase price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest (plus liquidated damages, if any). A change of control means the occurrence of any of the following events: (1) the direct or indirect disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation) of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) other than a principal stockholder, officer or director or any of their respective related parties; (2) the adoption of a plan of liquidation of MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A.; (3) the consummation of any transaction, the result of which is that any person, other than the principal stockholders, officers or directors or any of their respective related parties, becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the voting stock of MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A.; or (4) after the closing of this offering, the first day on which a majority of the members of the board of directors are not continuing directors. A continuing director means any director who: (1) was a member of the board on December 23, 2004; (2) was nominated for election or elected to such board with the approval of a majority of the continuing directors who were members of such board at the time of such nomination or election; or (3) was elected to the board under our securityholders’ agreement.

Interest on the floating rate second priority senior secured notes accrues at a rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus 3.25%. The LIBOR interest rate resets quarterly. Interest on the floating rate second priority senior secured notes is payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15, to holders of record as of March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1, respectively. Interest on the floating rate second priority senior secured notes accrues from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest on overdue principal and interest, and liquidated damages, if any, accrues at a rate that is 1% higher than the then applicable interest rate on the floating rate second priority senior secured notes.

Interest on the fixed rate second priority senior secured notes accrues at the rate of 6  7/8% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 to holders of record as of June 1 and December 1, respectively. Interest on the fixed rate second priority senior secured notes accrues from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest on overdue principal and interest, and liquidated damages, if any, accrues at a rate that is 1% higher than the then applicable interest rate on the fixed rate second priority senior secured notes.

The indenture governing the second priority senior secured notes contains covenants that limit the ability of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC and the restricted subsidiaries to do the following (subject to certain specified exceptions):

 

  Ÿ  

incur additional indebtedness;

 

  Ÿ  

issue certain types of preferred equity interests;

 

  Ÿ

The indenture governing the second priority senior secured notes contains certain events of default, including payment defaults, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to certain indebtedness, including the other notes and the credit facility, certain events of bankruptcy, material judgments against us, the invalidity of the documentation with respect to the second priority senior secured indenture or the failure of the security interests in any material collateral created under the indenture to be enforceable or to have the purported priority thereunder. If an event of default occurs (other than as a result of bankruptcy or a similar proceeding, in which case acceleration of the indebtedness will be automatic), the trustee or the holders of 25% or more of the aggregate principal amount of the second priority senior secured notes will be entitled to take certain actions, including the acceleration of all amounts due under the second priority senior secured indenture.

MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A. may redeem all or a part of the floating rate second priority senior notes at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, thereon to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on December 15 of the years indicated below, subject to the rights of holders of floating rate second priority senior notes on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date:

The notes issuers’ obligations under the senior subordinated notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC and its current direct and indirect subsidiaries (except for MagnaChip Korea and MagnaChip Semiconductor (Shanghai) Company Limited) and future direct and indirect subsidiaries (to the extent legally permissible). Each guarantee is subordinated to the prior payment in full of all senior debt of that guarantor.

Except under specified limited circumstances, the holders of senior debt are entitled to receive payment in full of all obligations due in respect of such senior debt before the holders of the senior subordinated notes are entitled to receive any payment with respect to the senior subordinated notes in the event of:

 

  Ÿ  

any liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding of the notes issuers; or

if there is a payment default (or other default which permits the holder of the senior debt to accelerate maturity) with respect to certain designated senior debt.

If the trustee or any holder of the senior subordinated notes receives a payment on or for the senior subordinated notes when the payment is prohibited by these subordination provisions and the trustee or the holder has actual knowledge that the payment is prohibited, then the trustee or the holder, as the case may be, will hold the payment in trust for the benefit of the holders of senior debt.

If there is a change of control, the issuers must give the holders of the senior subordinated notes the opportunity to sell their notes to the issuers at a purchase price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest (plus liquidated damages, if any). A change of control means the occurrence of any of the following events: (1) the direct or indirect disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation) of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) other than a principal stockholder, officer or director, or any of their related parties; (2) the adoption of a plan of liquidation of MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A.; (3) the consummation of any transaction, the result of which is that any person, other than the any of the principal stockholders, officers, directors or any of their respective related parties, becomes the

beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the voting stock of MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A.; or (4) after the closing of this offering, the first day on which a majority of the members of the board of directors of such company are not continuing directors. A continuing director means any director who: (1) was a member of the board on December 23, 2004; (2) was nominated for election or elected to such board with the approval of a majority of the continuing directors who were members of such board at the time of such nomination or election; or (3) was elected to the board under our securityholders’ agreement.

The indenture governing the senior subordinated notes contains covenants that limit the ability of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC and the restricted subsidiaries to do the following (subject to certain specified exceptions):

 

  Ÿ  

incur additional indebtedness;

 

  Ÿ  

issue certain types of preferred equity interests;

 

  Ÿ  

create liens;

 

  Ÿ  

pay dividends or make other equity distributions;

 

  Ÿ  

purchase or redeem capital stock;

 

  Ÿ  

make certain investments;

 

  Ÿ  

sell assets; and

 

  Ÿ  

engage in transactions with affiliates.

The indenture governing the senior subordinated notes contains certain events of default, including payment defaults, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to certain indebtedness, including the senior secured credit facility and other notes, certain events of bankruptcy, material judgments against us or the invalidity of the documentation with respect to the senior subordinated indenture. If an event of default occurs (other than as a result of bankruptcy or a similar proceeding, in which case acceleration of the indebtedness will be automatic), the trustee or the holders of 25% or more of the aggregate principal amount of the senior subordinated notes will be entitled to take certain actions, including the acceleration of all amounts due under the senior subordinated indenture.

On or after December 15, 2009, MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A. may redeem all or a part of the senior subordinated notes at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, on such notes to be redeemed, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning December 15, 2009, subject to the rights of holders of senior subordinated notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

means the greater of: (1) 1.0% of the principal amount of the note; or (2) the excess of (a) the present value at such redemption date of (i) the redemption price of the note at December 15, 2009, plus (ii) all required interest payments due on the note through December 15, 2009, (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the treasury rate (as defined in the senior subordinated indenture) as of such redemption date plus 50 basis points; over (b) the principal amount of the note, if greater.

Unless MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A. defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.

We intend to use a portion of the proceeds of this offering to reduce our indebtedness including by repurchasing certain of our floating rate second priority senior secured notes due 2011, 6 7/8% second priority senior secured notes due 2011 and/or 8% senior subordinated notes due 2014.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock, and a significant public market for our common stock may not develop or be sustained after this offering. Future sales of significant amounts of our common stock, including shares of our outstanding common stock and shares of our common stock issued upon exercise of outstanding options, in the public market after this offering could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock and could impair our future ability to raise capital through the sale of securities.

Sale of Restricted Shares and Lock-Up Agreements

Upon the closing of this offering, we will have outstanding              shares of common stock, based upon the common units of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC outstanding as of September 30, 2007 after giving pro forma effect to the corporate reorganization and the repurchase of all of the Series B preferred units pursuant to which each common unit will be exchanged for shares of our common stock at a ratio of             .

Of these shares, the              shares of common stock sold in this offering, or              shares if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full, will be freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act, unless purchased by affiliates of our company, as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

The remaining              shares of common stock were issued and sold by us in private transactions pursuant to the corporate reorganization, and are eligible for public sale if registered under the Securities Act or sold in accordance with Rules 144 or 144(k) of the Securities Act. These shares are subject to a securityholders’ agreement that restricts their sale for 180 days after the date of this prospectus unless we and the managing underwriters, agree to a lesser period. Furthermore,              of these remaining shares of common stock are held by officers, directors and existing stockholders who are subject to lock-up agreements and other trading restrictions for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus.

Goldman, Sachs & Co., UBS Securities LLC and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as joint book-running underwriters, may, at any time without notice, release all or any portion of the securities subject to the lock-up agreements. We have been advised by the joint book-running underwriters that, when determining whether or not to release shares from the lock-up agreements, the joint book-running underwriters will consider, among other factors, the stockholder’s reasons for requesting the release, the number of shares for which the release is being requested and market conditions at the time. The joint book-running underwriters have advised us that they have no present intention to release any of the shares subject to the lock-up agreements prior to the expiration of the lock-up period.

As of the date of this prospectus,              of the remaining shares may be eligible for immediate sale in the public market, absent registration, subject to certain time and volume limitations under Rules 144 and 144(k). Notwithstanding the securityholders’ agreement and the lock-up agreements, beginning one year after the date of the corporate reorganization, the rest of the              additional shares will be eligible for sale in the public market, although all of these shares will be subject initially, absent registration, to the restrictions under Rule 144 and 144(k) as described in more detail below.

Rule 144

In general, Rule 144 allows a stockholder (or stockholders where shares of common stock are aggregated) who has beneficially owned shares of our common stock for at least one year and who

 

125


Table of Contents

files a Form 144 with the SEC to sell within any three-month period commencing 90 days after the date of this prospectus a number of those shares that does not exceed the greater of:

 

  Ÿ  

one percent of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding, which will equal approximately              shares immediately after this offering; or

 

  Ÿ  

the average weekly trading volume of the common stock on all national securities exchanges and/or reported through the automated quotation system of a registered securities association during the four calendar weeks preceding the sale.

Sales under Rule 144, however, are subject to specific manner of sales provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current information about us. We cannot estimate the number of shares of common stock our existing stockholders will sell under Rule 144, as this will depend on the market price for our common stock, the personal circumstances of the stockholders and other factors.

Rule 144(k)

Under Rule 144(k), in general, a stockholder who has beneficially owned shares of our common stock for at least two years and who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of our company at any time during the immediately preceding 90 days may sell shares without complying with the manner of sale provisions, notice requirements, public information requirements or volume limitations of Rule 144. Affiliates of our company, however, must always sell pursuant to Rule 144, even after the otherwise applicable Rule 144(k) holding periods have been satisfied.

Options

In addition to the              shares of common stock outstanding immediately after this offering, based upon the common units of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC outstanding as of September 30, 2007 after giving pro forma effect to the corporate reorganization pursuant to which each common unit will be exchanged for shares of our common stock at a ratio of             , there were outstanding options to purchase              shares of our common stock. As soon as practicable after the closing of this offering, we intend to file a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act covering shares of our common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of stock options outstanding as of              at a weighted average exercise price of              per share and              shares of our common stock reserved as of              for issuance pursuant to future grants under our 2008 Equity Incentive Plan and 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Accordingly, shares of our common stock registered under such registration statement will be available for sale in the open market upon exercise by the holders, subject to vesting restrictions with us, contractual lock-up restrictions, our securities trading policy and/or market stand-off provisions applicable to each other agreement that prohibit the sale or other disposition of the shares of common stock underlying the options for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus without the prior written consent from us or Goldman, Sachs & Co., UBS Securities LLC and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC.

Registration Rights

Upon the closing of this offerings, certain holders of our shares of common stock will have the right to register their remaining shares of common stock pursuant to a securityholders’ agreement. In addition, some holders will have certain “incidental” registration rights, pursuant to that agreement. See “Description of Capital Stock.”

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of shares of our common stock to a non-U.S. holder who purchases our common stock in this offering. For purposes of this discussion, a non-U.S. holder is any beneficial owner of our common stock that for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not a U.S. person (other than a partnership, as discussed below); the term U.S. person means:

 

  Ÿ  

an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

 

  Ÿ  

a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof;

 

  Ÿ  

an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

 

  Ÿ  

a trust (x) whose administration is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and which has one or more U.S. persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (y) which has made a valid election to be treated as a U.S. person.

If a partnership or other pass-through entity holds common stock, the tax treatment of a partner or member in the partnership or other entity will generally depend on the status of the partner or member and upon the activities of the partnership or other entity. Accordingly, we urge partnerships or other pass-through entities which hold shares of our common stock and partners or members in these partnerships or other entities to consult their tax advisors.

This discussion assumes that non-U.S. holders will hold shares of our common stock issued pursuant to the offering as a capital asset (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant in light of a non-U.S. holder’s special tax status or special tax situations. U.S. expatriates, life insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, dealers in securities or currency, banks or other financial institutions, pension funds and investors that hold shares of common stock as part of a hedge, straddle or conversion transaction are among those categories of potential investors that are subject to special rules not covered in this discussion. This discussion does not address any non-income tax consequences except as noted under “Federal Estate Tax” or any income tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction. Furthermore, the following discussion is based on current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, Treasury Regulations and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as in effect on the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Additionally, we have not sought any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or IRS, with respect to statements made and conclusions reached in this discussion, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with these statements and conclusions. We urge each prospective purchaser to consult a tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and other tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of shares of our common stock.

Dividends

If we make distributions on our common stock, those payments will constitute dividends for U.S. tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent those distributions exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits, the distributions will constitute a return of capital and will first reduce a holder’s basis, but not below zero, and then will be treated as gain from the sale of shares and may be subject to U.S. federal income tax as described below.

Any distribution that is a dividend, as defined above, paid to a non-U.S. holder of common shares generally will be subject to U.S. withholding tax either at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the

 

127


Table of Contents

dividend or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable tax treaty. In order to receive a reduced treaty rate, a non-U.S. holder must provide us with an IRS Form W-8BEN or other appropriate version of IRS Form W-8 certifying qualification for the reduced rate.

Dividends received by a non-U.S. holder that are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business conducted by the non-U.S. holder (and dividends attributable to a non-U.S. holder’s permanent establishment in the United States if a tax treaty applies) are exempt from this withholding tax. In order to obtain this exemption, a non-U.S. holder must provide us with an IRS Form W-8ECI properly certifying this exemption. Effectively connected dividends (and dividends attributable to a permanent establishment), although not subject to withholding tax, are taxed at the same graduated rates applicable to U.S. persons, net of specified deductions and credits. In addition, dividends received by a corporate non-U.S. holder that are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of the corporate non-U.S. holder (and dividends attributable to a corporate non-U.S. holder’s permanent establishment in the United States if a tax treaty applies) may also be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified in a tax treaty).

A non-U.S. holder of common shares that is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax pursuant to a tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld if an appropriate claim for refund is filed with the IRS.

Gain on Disposition of Shares of Common Stock

A non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to United States federal income tax on gain realized upon the sale or other disposition of shares of our common stock unless:

 

  Ÿ  

the gain is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of the non-U.S. holder (or attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States if a tax treaty applies), which gain, in the case of a corporate non-U.S. holder, must also be taken into account for branch profits tax purposes;

 

  Ÿ  

the non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year in which the sale or disposition occurs and certain other conditions are met; or

 

  Ÿ  

our common shares constitute a U.S. real property interest by reason of our status as a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the date of disposition or the holder’s holding period for shares of our common stock. We believe that we are not currently, and we believe that we will not become, a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If we are or become a “United States real property holding corporation,” so long as our common stock continues to be regularly traded on an established securities market, only a non-U.S. holder who, actually or constructively, holds or held (at any time during the shorter of the five year period preceding the date of disposition or the holder’s holding period) more than 5% of shares of our common stock will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the disposition of shares of our common stock.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Generally, we must report annually to the IRS the amount of dividends paid, the name and address of the recipient, and the amount, if any, of tax withheld. A similar report is sent to the holder. Pursuant to tax treaties or other agreements, the IRS may make its reports available to tax authorities in the recipient’s country of residence.

Payments of dividends or of proceeds on the disposition of shares made to a non-U.S. holder may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding at the then effective rate unless the

 

128


Table of Contents

non-U.S. holder establishes an exemption, for example, by properly certifying its non-U.S. status on a Form W-8BEN or another appropriate version of Form W-8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, information reporting and backup withholding may apply if either we or our paying agent has actual knowledge, or reason to know, that the holder is a U.S. person.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund or credit may be obtained, so long as the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.

Federal Estate Tax

An individual non-U.S. holder who is treated as the owner, or has made certain lifetime transfers, of an interest in our common stock will be required to include the value thereof in his or her gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes, and may be subject to U.S. federal estate tax unless an applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise. Under current law, the U.S. federal estate tax has been repealed for the estates of decedents dying in the year 2010, but is in force for all prior and subsequent years.

Subject to certain conditions, each underwriter has severally agreed to purchase the number of shares indicated in the following table.

The underwriters are committed to take and pay for all of the shares being offered, if any are taken, other than the shares covered by the option described below unless and until this option is exercised.

If the underwriters sell more shares than the total number set forth in the table above, the underwriters have an option to buy up to an additional              shares from the selling stockholders, including certain of our executive officers and other members of senior management. They may exercise that option in whole or in part and from time to time for 30 days. If any shares are purchased pursuant to this option, the underwriters will severally purchase shares in approximately the same proportion as set forth in the table above.

The following table shows the per share and total underwriting discount to be paid to the underwriters by MagnaChip and the selling stockholders. Such amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase              additional shares.

Shares sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus. Any shares sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount of up to $             per share from the initial public offering price. If all the shares are not sold at the initial public offering price, the representatives may change the offering price

and the other selling terms. The offering of the shares by the underwriters is subject to receipt and acceptance and subject to the underwriters’ right to reject any order in whole or in part.

We and our officers, directors, selling stockholders and certain other stockholders have agreed with the underwriters, subject to certain exceptions, not to dispose of or hedge any of their common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock during the period from the date of this prospectus continuing through the date 180-days after the date of this prospectus, except with the prior written consent of the representatives. See “Shares Available for Future Sale” for a discussion of certain transfer restrictions.

The 180-day restricted period described in the preceding paragraph will be automatically extended if: (1) during the last 17 days of the 180-day restricted period MagnaChip issues an earnings release or announces material news or a material event; or (2) prior to the expiration of the 180-day restricted period, MagnaChip announces that it will release earnings results during the 15-day period following the last day of the 180-day period, in which case the restrictions described in the preceding paragraph will continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the announcement of the material news or material event.

Prior to the offering, there has been no public market for the shares. The initial public offering price has been negotiated among MagnaChip and the representatives. Among the factors to be considered in determining the initial public offering price of the shares, in addition to prevailing market conditions, will be MagnaChip’s historical performance, estimates of the business potential and earnings prospects of MagnaChip, an assessment of MagnaChip’s management and the consideration of the above factors in relation to market valuation of companies in related businesses.

An application has been made to list the common stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “MX”. In order to meet one of the requirements for listing the common stock on the NYSE, the underwriters have undertaken to sell lots of 100 or more shares to a minimum of 400 U.S. beneficial holders and thereby establish at least 1,100,000 shares in the U.S. public float having a minimum aggregate market value of $60,000,000 in the United States with a global market capitalization of at least $750 million.

In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell shares of common stock in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares than they are required to purchase in the offering. “Covered” short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares from the selling stockholders in the offering. The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase additional shares pursuant to the option granted to them. “Naked” short sales are any sales in excess of such option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the common stock in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of common stock made by the underwriters in the open market prior to the closing of the offering.

The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the representatives have repurchased shares sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions.

 

131


Table of Contents

Purchases to cover a short position and stabilizing transactions, as well as other purchases by the underwriters for their own accounts, may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of MagnaChip’s stock, and together with the imposition of the penalty bid, may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the common stock. As a result, the price of the common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued at any time. These transactions may be effected on the New York Stock Exchange, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a Relevant Member State), each underwriter has represented and agreed that with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State (the Relevant Implementation Date) it has not made and will not make an offer of shares to the public in that Relevant Member State prior to the publication of a prospectus in relation to the shares which has been approved by the competent authority in that Relevant Member State or, where appropriate, approved in another Relevant Member State and notified to the competent authority in that Relevant Member State, all in accordance with the Prospectus Directive, except that it may, with effect from and including the Relevant Implementation Date, make an offer of shares to the public in that Relevant Member State at any time:

 

  (a) to legal entities which are authorised or regulated to operate in the financial markets or, if not so authorised or regulated, whose corporate purpose is solely to invest in securities;

 

  (b) to any legal entity which has two or more of (1) an average of at least 250 employees during the last financial year; (2) a total balance sheet of more than 43 million and (3) an annual net turnover of more than 50 million, as shown in its last annual or consolidated accounts;

 

  (c) to fewer than 100 natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive) subject to obtaining the prior consent of the representatives for any such offer; or

 

  (d) in any other circumstances which do not require the publication by the Issuer of a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive.

For the purposes of this provision, the expression an “offer of shares to the public” in relation to any shares in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the shares to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the shares, as the same may be varied in that Relevant Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Relevant Member State and the expression Prospectus Directive means Directive 2003/71/EC and includes any relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State.

Each underwriter has represented and agreed that:

 

  (a) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the FSMA) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of the shares in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA would not, if the Issuer was not an authorised person, apply to the Issuer; and

 

  (b) it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to the shares in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.

The shares may not be offered or sold by means of any document other than (i) in circumstances which do not constitute an offer to the public within the meaning of the Companies Ordinance (Cap.32,

Laws of Hong Kong), or (ii) to “professional investors” within the meaning of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap.571, Laws of Hong Kong) and any rules made thereunder, or (iii) in other circumstances which do not result in the document being a “prospectus” within the meaning of the Companies Ordinance (Cap.32, Laws of Hong Kong), and no advertisement, invitation or document relating to the shares may be issued or may be in the possession of any person for the purpose of issue (in each case whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere), which is directed at, or the contents of which are likely to be accessed or read by, the public in Hong Kong (except if permitted to do so under the laws of Hong Kong) other than with respect to shares which are or are intended to be disposed of only to persons outside Hong Kong or only to “professional investors” within the meaning of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571, Laws of Hong Kong) and any rules made thereunder.

This prospectus has not been registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

The securities have not been and will not be registered under the Securities and Exchange Law of Japan (the Securities and Exchange Law) and each underwriter has agreed that it will not offer or sell any securities, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to, or for the benefit of, any resident of Japan (which term as used herein means any person resident in Japan, including any corporation or other entity organized under the laws of Japan), or to others for re-offering or resale, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to a resident of Japan, except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of, and otherwise in compliance with, the Securities and Exchange Law and any other applicable laws, regulations and ministerial guidelines of Japan.

A prospectus in electronic format will be available on the websites maintained by one or more of the underwriters participating in this offering.

MagnaChip and the selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify the several underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, and to contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make for any such liabilities.

If you purchase shares of common stock offered in this prospectus, you may be required to pay stamp taxes and other charges under the laws and practices of the country of purchase, in addition to the offering price listed on the cover page of this prospectus.

Certain of the underwriters and their respective affiliates have, from time to time, performed various financial advisory and investment banking services for us for which they received customary fees and expenses. UBS Securities LLC and UBS AG, Stamford Branch, an affiliate of UBS Securities LLC, serve as arranger, and as administrative agent and priority lien collateral agent, respectively, under our senior secured credit facility for which they receive customary fees and expenses. In addition, UBS Loan Finance (an affiliate of UBS Securities LLC), Goldman Sachs Credit Partners LP (an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co.) and Citicorp North America LLC (an affiliate of Citigroup Global Markets Inc.) serve as lenders under our senior secured credit facility for which they receive customary fees and expenses. Affiliates of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC hold a portion of our 6 7/8% second priority senior secured notes due 2011. Goldman, Sachs & Co., UBS Securities LLC, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. are managing underwriters in this offering. Certain of the underwriters and their respective affiliates may in the future perform various financial advisory and/or investment banking services for us, for which they will receive customary fees and expenses.

Because affiliates of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. hold in excess of 10% of the outstanding equity of Court Square and CVC Asia Pacific, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. is deemed to be an affiliate of ours under Rule 2720(b)(1) of the FINRA Conduct Rules and, therefore, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. is also deemed to have a conflict of interest under Rule 2720 of the FINRA Conduct Rules. Affiliates of Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. also hold shares of our common stock and Class B preferred stock. Accordingly, this offering will be made in compliance with the applicable provisions of Rule 2720 of the FINRA Conduct Rules which requires that the initial public offering price can be no higher than that recommended by a “qualified independent underwriter,” as defined by FINRA. Lehman Brothers Inc. has served in that capacity and performed due diligence investigations and reviewed and participated in the preparation of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

We intend to use $9.75 million of the net proceeds of this offering to pay Court Square, Francisco Partners and CVC Asia Pacific certain amounts in connection with the termination of our sponsors’ advisory agreements. We intend to use $             of the net proceeds of this offering to repurchase all of the outstanding shares of our Series B preferred stock held by Court Square, Francisco Partners and CVC Asia Pacific. We may use a portion of the net proceeds of this offering to repurchase some of our 6 7/8% second priority senior secured notes due 2011 and to reduce amounts drawn under our senior secured credit facility.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Tabular dollars in thousands, except unit data)

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 phones, digital cameras, photo printers, games, monitors, and LCD TVs. 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 3.1 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,

(Tabular dollars in thousands, except unit data)

 

obsolescence, changes in price levels, or other causes based on individual facts and circumstances. 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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(Tabular dollars in thousands, except unit data)

 

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.

Goodwill

Goodwill is evaluated for impairment by computing the fair value and carrying value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill relates. Specifically, the Company uses the two-step method for evaluating goodwill for impairment as prescribed in SFAS No.142. In the first step, the fair value of a reporting unit is compared to the carrying amount of such reporting unit. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, a potential impairment condition exists. In the second step, impairment is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of reporting unit goodwill over the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired, and thus the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary.

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 recognized either upon shipment, upon delivery of the product at the customer’s location or upon customer acceptance, depending on the terms of the arrangements, when the risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the 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 year 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 applies the provisions of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended. This statement requires the recognition of all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value.

Under the provisions of SFAS No. 133, the Company may designate a derivative instrument as hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that are attributable to a particular risk (a “cash flow hedge”) or hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability (a “fair value hedge”). Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows the effective portion of a derivative instrument’s gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the consolidated statements of operations and requires that a company formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of the transactions that receive hedge accounting treatment. Both at the inception of a hedge and on an ongoing basis, a hedge must be expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in cash flows or fair value attributable to the underlying risk being hedged. If the Company determines that a derivative instrument is no longer highly effective as a hedge, it discontinues hedge accounting prospectively and future changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized in current earnings. The Company assesses hedge effectiveness at the end of each quarter.

(Tabular dollars in thousands, except unit data)

 

In accordance with SFAS No. 133, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that are cash flows hedges are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the period in which the hedged item affects earnings. Ineffective portions of a derivative instrument’s change in fair value are immediately recognized in earnings. Derivative instruments that do not qualify, or cease to qualify, as hedges must be adjusted to fair value and the adjustments are recorded through net income (loss).

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. 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 Company estimates the fair value of the underlying common unit because there is no public trading market for its common units.

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. 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.

A summary of purchase consideration including such subsequent working capital settlement as well as assets and liabilities acquired is as follows:

 

Purchase consideration:

  

Cash

   $ 475,471

At the date of the Original Acquisition, the Company estimated the value 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.

   2014    8.000      250,000
            
         $ 750,000
            

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 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”) to hedge the effect of the volatility of the 3-month London Inter-Bank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) resulting from the Company’s $300 million of Floating Rate Second Priority Senior Secured Notes (the “Notes”). Under the terms of the Swap, the Company receives a variable interest rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR rate plus 3.25%. In exchange, the Company pays interest at a fixed rate of 7.34%. The Swap effectively replaces the variable interest rate on the notes with a fixed interest rate through the expiration date of the Swap on June 15, 2008.

The Swap qualifies as a cash flow hedge under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended, since at both the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the hedging relationship was and is expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting cash flows attributable to the hedged risk during the term of the hedge. 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, and there was no hedge ineffectiveness for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

The fair value of the Swap was estimated applying a discounted cash flow model using expected net cash flows from the fixed interest outflows and variable interest inflows during the term of the Swap. The resulting $4,521 thousand of derivative asset and $4,534 thousand of derivative assets were recorded as non-current assets in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of

December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Changes in fair value of the Swap are recorded under other comprehensive income in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

11. Redeemable Convertible Preferred Unit

The Company issued 49,727 units as Series A redeemable convertible preferred unit (the “Series A”) and 447,420 units as Series B redeemable convertible preferred unit (the “Series B”) on September 23, 2004 and additionally issued 364 units of Series A and 3,272 units of Series B on November 30, 2004, respectively. Each Series A and Series B unit has a stated value of $1,000 per unit. As the Series A and B units are redeemable at the option of the holders, the Company classified the Series A and B units outside of permanent equity. All of Series A were redeemed by cash on December 27, 2004 and parts of Series B were redeemed by cash on December 15, 2004 and December 27, 2004.

Changes in Series B for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and for the three months ended December 31, 2004 are as follows:

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 after all creditors of the Company have been paid in full but before any amounts are paid to the holders of any units ranking junior to the Series B with respect to dividends or upon liquidation (including the common units), 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.

During the three months ended December 31, 2004, restricted units were issued upon the exercise of certain options to purchase restricted common units at the exercise price of $1 per unit, which was considered to be the fair value of the underlying common units on the date of grant. Such options were fully vested and immediately exercisable at the time of grant. Restricted units issued are subject to restrictions which generally lapse in installments over a four-year period. Under the terms and conditions of these restricted common units, the restricted units are subject to forfeiture upon the termination of the restricted unitholder’s employment with the Company. Upon termination, the Company may repurchase all, or any portion of the restricted common units for either $1.00 per unit (the exercise price) or the fair market value of the restricted common units at the time of repurchase. If the termination is for Cause, as defined in the Service Agreements entered into with each restricted unitholder, the repurchase price per unit will be $1. However, if the termination is for any other reason, then the Company may repurchase all or any portion of the restricted common units for which the restricted period has not lapsed as of the date of termination for a repurchase price per unit of $1, and may repurchase all or any portion of the restricted common units for which the restricted period has lapsed as of the date of termination for a repurchase price per unit equal to fair market value. Termination for “Cause” is defined in the Service Agreements to mean a termination of the restricted unitholder’s employment with the Company because of (a) a failure by the restricted unitholder to substantially perform the restricted unitholder’s customary duties with the Company in the ordinary course (other than in certain specified circumstances); (b) the restricted unitholder’s gross negligence, intentional misconduct or fraud in the performance of his or her employment; (c) the restricted unitholder’s indictment for a felony or to a crime involving fraud or dishonesty; (d) a judicial determination that the restricted unitholder committed fraud or dishonesty against any person or entity; or (e) the restricted unitholder’s material violation of one or more of the Company’s policies applicable to the restricted unitholder’s employment as may be in effect from time to time. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company accounted for its unit awards under Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Using the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB 25, the Company did not record any compensation expense because the fair market value of the common unit underlying the options was equal to the exercise price of the options on the date of grant. Because these awards were considered to be fully vested on grant date, there was no compensation expense to record after the adoption of SFAS 123(R).

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 asset (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 an 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 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 tax exemption where 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:

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.

At December 31, 2006, the Company had approximately $209,881 thousand of net operating loss carry-forwards available to offset future taxable income, which expires in varying amounts starting from 2007 to 2011. Majority of net operating loss is related to MagnaChip Korea. The Company also has Korean and Dutch tax credit carry-forwards of approximately $9,319 thousand and $7,544 thousand, respectively. The Korean tax credits expire at various dates starting from 2010 to 2011, and the Dutch credits are carried forward to be used for an indefinite period of time.

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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited; in thousands of US dollars, except unit data)

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Principle Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting regarding interim financial information and, accordingly, do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the information required to be set forth therein. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year or for any other periods.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value in an attempt to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year 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 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.

2. Inventories

5. 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.

6. Short-term borrowings

On December 23, 2004, the Company and its subsidiaries, including MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A. and MagnaChip Semiconductor Finance Company, as borrowers, 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. Interest is charged at current rates when drawn upon.

Presently, borrowings under the credit agreement bear interest equal to the 3-month London Inter-bank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 4.75% or Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”) plus 3.75%. Additionally, the Company is required to pay the administrative agent for the account of each lender a commitment fee equal to 0.5% on the average daily unused amount of the commitment of each Lender during the period from December 23, 2004 to but excluding the date on which such commitments terminate. At September 30, 2007, the Company had borrowed $50.6 million under this credit agreement.

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

On September 28, 2007, the Company entered into the Eighth Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of September 28, 2007 (the “Eighth 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 Eighth Amendment, among other things, the financial covenants regarding total leverage, interest coverage, capital expenditure limitations and minimum levels of EBITDA and liquidity were modified. In addition, the monthly requirement of the obligors to provide certain financial and other reports to the lenders were modified.

On November 13, 2007, the Company entered into the Ninth Amendment and Waiver to Credit Agreement, dated as of November 13, 2007 (the “Ninth 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 Ninth Amendment, the lenders under the senior secured credit facility waived certain provisions of the credit agreement to permit us to consummate the corporate reorganization and this offering, and to use the proceeds from the offering as described in this prospectus. Pursuant to the Ninth Amendment, the Company will become a guarantor, and grant a security interest with respect to the obligations, under the senior secured credit facility upon the

At the same time, such subsidiaries issued $250 million aggregate principal amount of 8% Senior Subordinated Notes.

Details of long-term borrowings as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 are presented as below:

 

     Maturity    Annual interest rate (%)    Amount of

   2014    8.000      250,000
            
         $ 750,000
            

The senior secured revolving credit facility and Second Priority Senior Secured Notes are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company. The notes are due 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.

As of September 30, 2007, 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 September 30, 2007, the Company and its subsidiaries except for MagnaChip Semiconductor Ltd.

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 the Second Priority Senior Secured Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes.

Interest Rate Swap

Effective June 27, 2005, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the “Swap”) that converted the variable interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 3.25% to a fixed interest rate of 7.34% on the Company’s Floating Rate Second Priority Senior Secured Notes (the “Notes”). This Swap will be in effect until June 15, 2008.

The Swap qualifies as an effective 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.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded changes in the fair value of the Swap amounting to $2,260 thousand, under other comprehensive income in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition, during the same period, the Company recognized interest income of $2,888 thousand, which represents the differences between fixed and variable rates.

8. 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 September 30, 2007, 96% of all employees of the Company were eligible for severance benefits.

This warrant expired unexercised in accordance with its terms on October 6, 2006.

11. Restructuring and Impairment Charges

Assets impairment

In the Second Quarter of 2007, the Company recognized impairment charges of $10,106 thousand under SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets (“SFAS No. 144”). The Impairment charges were recorded related to the closure of one of the Company’s five-inch wafer fabrication facilities that has generated losses and no longer supported the Company’s strategic technology roadmap. In the Second Quarter of 2006, the Company recorded impairment charges of $92,540 thousand under SFAS No. 144. The impairment charges were recorded against one of our fabrication facilities and certain related technology and customer-based intangible assets (the “asset group”).

SFAS No. 144 requires the Company to evaluate the recoverability of certain long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The net book value of the asset group before the impairment charges as of July 1, 2007 and July 2, 2006 were approximately $10,228 and $185,985 thousand, respectively.

The impairment charge was measured as an 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.

Restructuring

In the second quarter of 2007, the Company recognized $1,978 thousand of restructuring under SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (“SFAS No. 146”). The restructuring charges were related to the closure of the Company’s five-inch wafer fabrication facilities to be completed within the next several months. These charges consist of one-time termination benefits, transfer of machinery and other associated costs. In the second quarter of 2006, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $1,144 thousand in accordance with SFAS No. 146. These charges were incurred in association with changes in the Company’s management and the early retirement of certain employees.

12. Uncertainty in Income Taxes

The Company, including its subsidiaries files income tax returns in Korea, Japan, Taiwan, U.S. and various other jurisdictions. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities of these jurisdictions for all years since the beginning of its operation in October 2004.

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN No. 48, the Company recognized a $1,554 thousand increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as a reduction to the January 1, 2007 balance of accumulated deficits. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adoption was $6,773 thousand and it is related to the temporary difference arising from timing of expensing certain inventories. There was no change in total amount of unrecognized tax benefits during the three months ended September 30, 2007.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expenses. The Company recognized $41 thousand and $121 thousand of interest and penalties, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. Total interest and penalties accrued as of September 30, 2007 and as of the FIN No. 48 adoption date were $670 thousand and $530 thousand respectively.

13. 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 Relate 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 expense, interest income or expense, other income or expense, or income tax to the segments. Management does not evaluate segments based on these criteria.

The following sets forth information relating to the reportable segments:

0.14777% per annum of annual consolidated revenue, and is also to pay CVC Capital an annual advisory fee the amount of which shall be the greater of $741,673 per annum or 0.07946% per annum of annual consolidated revenue plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for an initial term of 10 years, subject to termination by either party upon written notice 90 days prior to the expiration of the initial term or any extension thereof. During the year ended December 31, 2005 and the three-month period ended December 31, 2004 (successor company), the Company accrued $3,545 thousand and $890 thousand of accrued expenses under these agreements, respectively, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. During the year ended December 31, 2006, due to lower financial performances, the advisors agreed to waive the advisory fee and, therefore, the Company did not accrue any expenses. Effective June 30, 2007, the parties to the advisory agreements entered into the First Amendment to Advisory Agreement under which all rights and obligations of the parties terminate except for indemnity and liability provisions. The Amendment provides that upon a firmly underwritten public offering of common equity of the Company with net proceeds of $50 million or more, the Company must pay a termination fee to the advisors in the amount of all advisory fees not paid under the advisory agreements plus the net present value of all advisory fees that would have been payable through October 6, 2014 had the advisory agreements not been amended.

IPO Incentives

The Company has committed to its employees that it will pay an IPO incentive to all non-executive employees who are employed by the Company at the closing date of the Company’s initial public offering. The incentive is estimated to be $30 million.

ITEM 14. Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL) provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party or who is threatened to be made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee of or agent to the registrant. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

As permitted by the DGCL, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (1) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders; (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law; (3) under Section 174 of the DGCL regarding unlawful dividends and stock purchases; or (4) arising as a result of any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

As permitted by the DGCL, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that (1) we are required to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, subject to certain exceptions; (2) we are permitted to indemnify our other employees and agents to the extent that we indemnify our officers and directors, unless otherwise required by law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or agreements; (3) we are required to advance expenses, as incurred, to our directors and officers in connection with any legal proceeding, subject to certain exceptions; and (4) the rights conferred in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation are not exclusive.

At present, we are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers, employees or agents in which indemnification would be required or permitted.

Immediately prior to this offering, as part of our corporate reorganization, shares of our common stock will be issued in exchange for the common units and some of the Series B preferred units of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC, and shares of our Series B preferred stock will be issued in exchange for the remaining Series B preferred units of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC. The issuance of shares of our stock pursuant to such corporate reorganization will be exempt from registration under either Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation S promulgated thereunder.

On October 25, 2007, one of our former employees exercised options to acquire 1,500 of our common units at a purchase price of $3,000.

On August 22, 2007, one of our former executives exercised options to acquire 30,937.50 of our common units at a purchase price of $30,937.

On August 24, 2006, one of our subsidiary’s former employees exercised options to acquire 4,375 of our common units for an aggregate purchase price of $5,998. Because the offering transaction took place outside the U.S. and the optionee was not a U.S. person, these securities were exempt from registration under Regulation S.

In April 2006, certain of our subsidiary’s employees and former employees exercised options to acquire an aggregate of 2,812.50 of our common units at an aggregate purchase price of $8,050. Because the offering transactions took place outside the U.S. and none of the optionees was a U.S. persons, these securities were exempt from registration under Regulation S.

In March 2006, certain of our employees exercised options to acquire an aggregate of 18,750 of our common units for an aggregate purchase price of $42,008. Because the offering transactions took place outside the U.S. and none of the optionees was a U.S. person, these securities were exempt from registration under Regulation S.

In February 2006, certain of our employees exercised options to acquire an aggregate of 15,312.50 of our common units for an aggregate purchase price of $22,849. Because the offering transactions took place outside the U.S. and none of the optionees was a U.S. person, these securities were exempt from registration under Regulation S.

In January 2006, certain of our employees exercised options to acquire an aggregate of 4,812.50 of our common units for an aggregate purchase price of $9,347. Because the offering transactions took place outside the U.S. and none of the optionees was a U.S. person, these securities were exempt from registration under Regulation S.

In December 2005, certain of our employees exercised options to acquire an aggregate of 4,250 of our common units for an aggregate purchase price of $12,316. Because the transactions took place outside the U.S. and none of the optionees was a U.S. person, these securities were exempt from registration under Regulation S.

On December 9, 2005, ISETEX, Inc., one of our consultants, exercised options to acquire 50,000 of our common units for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000. These securities were exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act by reason of the fact that the offering was a limited private placement to one knowledgeable investor who agreed not to resell the securities to the public.

On December 23, 2004, our subsidiaries, MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A. and MagnaChip Semiconductor Finance Company, sold (and certain of our subsidiaries guaranteed) $300 million aggregate principal amount of floating rate second priority senior secured notes due 2011, $200 million aggregate principal amount of 6 7/8% second priority senior secured notes due 2011 and $250 million aggregate principal amount of 8% senior subordinated notes due 2014. We received proceeds of approximately $291.9 million, $194.2 million and $243.4 million, respectively, pursuant to the sale of such notes. The initial purchasers of the foregoing notes were UBS Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co., J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. The issuance of the notes to the initial purchasers was made in reliance on Section 4(2) under the Securities Act and the notes were subsequently resold by the initial purchasers pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S thereunder.

Item 17. Undertakings.

We hereby undertake to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of us in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

We hereby undertake:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any fact or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement; notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of the Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the

 

II-10


Table of Contents

securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of securities the undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and
