KOREA ELECTRIC POWER CORPORATION

Non-consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

As of September 30, 2006 and 2005

(With Independent Accountants’ Review Report Thereon)

 


Independent Accountants’ Review Report

Based on a report originally issued in Korean

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Korea Electric Power Corporation:

We have reviewed the accompanying non-consolidated balance sheet of Korea Electric Power Corporation (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2006, and the related non-consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these financial statements based on our reviews.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the Review Standards for Semiannual Financial Statements established by the Securities and Futures Commission of the Republic of Korea. These standards require that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. A review consists principally of inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and, thus, provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial statements referred to above are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the Korea Electric Power Corporation Act, the Accounting Regulations for Government Invested Enterprises and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea.

The accompanying non-consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2005 and the related statements of income and cash flows for the year then ended, which are not accompanying this report were audited by us and our report thereon, dated January 27, 2006, expressed an unqualified opinion. The accompanying non-consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2005, presented for comparative purposes, is not different from that audited by us in all material respects.

The accompanying non-consolidated financial statements as of and for the three-month and nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 have been translated into United States dollars solely for the convenience of the reader and have been translated on the basis set forth in note 2 to the non-consolidated financial statements.

The following matters may be helpful to the readers in their understanding of the non-consolidated financial statements:

As discussed in note 1(b) to the non-consolidated financial statements, accounting principles and review standards and their application in practice vary among countries. The accompanying non-consolidated financial statements are not intended to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in countries other than the Republic of Korea. In addition, the procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to review such financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries. Accordingly, this report and the accompanying financial statements are intended for use only by those knowledgeable about Korean accounting principles, the Korea Electric Power Corporation Act, the Accounting Regulations for Government Invested Enterprises, and Korean accounting procedures and review standards and their application in practice.

As discussed in note 1(b) to the non-consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Korea Accounting Standards No. 20, Related Party Disclosures. The adoption of these standards did not have a significant impact on accompanying non-consolidated financial statements.

As discussed in note 26 to the non-consolidated financial statements, the Company had sales and purchases with related parties, including its six power generation subsidiaries for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 and related receivables and payables as of September 30, 2006. Also, as of


September 30, 2006, the Company had long-term borrowings (including current portion) from Korea Development Bank (“KDB”). The Company has provided debt guarantees to a foreign subsidiary. In addition, KDB, one of the Company’s major shareholders, has provided guarantees for a portion of the Company’s foreign currency debt.

This report is effective as of October 27, 2006, the review report date. Certain subsequent events or circumstances, which may occur between the review report date and the time of reading this report, could have a material impact on the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Accordingly, the readers of the review report should understand that there is a possibility that the above review report may have to be revised to reflect the impact of such subsequent events or circumstances, if any.

Notes to Non-consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2006 and 2005

(Unaudited)

 

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presenting Financial Statements

 

  (a) Organization and Description of Business

Korea Electric Power Corporation (the “Company” or “KEPCO”) was incorporated on January 1, 1982 in accordance with the Korea Electric Power Corporation Act (the “KEPCO Act”) to engage in the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity and development of electric power resources in the Republic of Korea. The Company was given the status of a government-invested enterprise on December 31, 1983 following the enactment of the Government-Invested Enterprise Management Basic Act. The Company’s stock was listed on the Korea Stock Exchange on August 10, 1989 and the Company listed its Depository Receipts (DR) on the New York Stock Exchange on October 27, 1994.

As of September 30, 2006, the Government of the Republic of Korea, Korea Development Bank (“KDB”), which is wholly owned by the Korean Government, and foreign investors held 24.07%, 29.95% and 28.22%, respectively, of the Company’s shares.

In accordance with the restructuring plan by the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy on January 21, 1999, the Company spun off its power generation division on April 2, 2001, resulting in the establishment of six power generation subsidiaries. The Company purchases substantially all of its electricity from the power generation subsidiaries. In addition, the Company has been contemplating the gradual privatization of the Company’s power generation subsidiaries. The privatization of the power generation subsidiaries may result in a change in pricing of electric power, operation organization, related regulations and general policies for supply and demand of energy.

In addition, the Company was also planning to privatize its distribution business but was discontinued according to the recommendation by the Korea Tripartite Commission on June 30, 2004.

 

  (b) Basis of Presenting Financial Statements

The Company maintains its accounting records in Korean Won and prepares statutory financial statements in the Korean language (Hangul) in conformity with the Korea Electric Power Corporation Act (“KEPCO Act”), the Accounting Regulations for Government Invested Enterprises, which have been approved by the Korean Ministry of Finance and Economy, and, in the absence of specialized accounting regulations for utility companies, accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. Certain accounting principles applied by the Company that conform with financial accounting standards and accounting principles in the Republic of Korea may not conform with generally accepted accounting principles in other countries. Accordingly, these financial statements are intended for use only by those who are informed in Korean accounting principles and practices, KEPCO Act and Accounting Regulations for Government Invested Enterprises. The accompanying non-consolidated financial statements have been condensed, restructured and translated into English (with certain expanded descriptions) from the Korean language non-consolidated financial statements.

Certain information included in the Korean language non-consolidated financial statements, but not required for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows, is not presented in the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements.

  (b) Basis of Presenting Financial Statements, Continued

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Korea Accounting Standards (“SKAS”) No. 20, Related Party Disclosures. The adoption of these standards did not have a significant impact on accompanying non-consolidated financial statements.

 

  (c) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, except in the case of revaluations made in accordance with the KEPCO Act and the then Assets Revaluation Law of Korea. Significant additions or improvements extending useful lives of assets are capitalized. However, normal maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

The Company capitalizes interest costs and other financial charges on borrowings associated with the manufacture, purchase, or construction of property, plant and equipment, incurred prior to completing the acquisition, as part of the cost of such assets. The calculation of capitalized interest includes translation differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs, which is limited to the extent of interest cost calculated by the weighted average interest rate of local currency borrowings.

Depreciation is computed by the declining-balance method (straight-line method for buildings and structures) using rates based on the estimated useful lives provided for in the Korean Corporate Income Tax Law and as permitted under the Accounting Regulations for Government Invested Enterprises as follows:

 

     Estimated useful lives (years)

Buildings

   8, 15, 30

Structures

   8, 15, 30

Machinery

   16

Ships

   9

Vehicles

   4

Others

The Company records the following funds and materials, which relate to the construction of transmission and distribution facilities, as construction grants:

 

    Grants from the government or public institutions

 

    Funds, construction materials or other items contributed by customers

Construction grants are initially recorded and presented in the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements as deductions from the assets acquired under such grants and are offset against depreciation expense over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.

  (d) Investment Securities

Securities are recognized initially at cost using the weighted average method. The cost includes the market value of the consideration given and incidental expenses.

After initial recognition, held-to-maturity securities are valued at amortized cost. The difference between face value and acquisition cost is amortized over the remaining term of the security using the effective interest method. Trading securities are valued at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reflected in current operations. Available-for-sale securities are also valued at fair value with changes in unrealized gains and losses reflected in capital adjustments until the securities are sold or if the securities are determined to have other-than-temporary impairment at which point the lump-sum cumulative amount of capital adjustments is reflected in current operations. However, available-for-sale equity securities that are not traded in an active market and whose fair values cannot be reliably estimated are accounted for at their acquisition cost. For those securities that are traded in an active market, fair values refer to those quoted market prices, which are measured as the closing price at the balance sheet date. The fair value of non-marketable debt securities are measured at the discounted future cash flows by using the discount rate that appropriately reflects the credit rating of the issuing entity assessed by a publicly reliable independent credit rating agency. If application of such measurement method is not feasible, estimates of the fair values may be made using a reasonable valuation model or quoted market prices of similar debt securities issued by entities conducting similar business in similar industries.

On a continuous basis, the Company evaluates available-for-sale securities for possible other-than-temporary impairment at the balance sheet date. Factors considered in assessing whether an indication of other-than-temporary impairment exists include: the degree of change in the ratio of market price per share to book value per share at the date of evaluation compared to that at the date of acquisition, the financial condition and prospects of each investee company, industry conditions in which the investee company operates, the fair value of an available-for-sale security relative to the cost basis of the investment, the period of time the fair value of an available-for-sale security has been below the cost basis of the investment and other relevant factors. The Company evaluates at the balance sheet date the cost basis of a held-to-maturity security for possible impairment by taking into consideration the financial condition, business prospects and credit worthiness of the issuer.

When any such evidence exists, unless there is clear counter-evidence that recognition of impairment is unnecessary, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the impaired security and recognizes any impairment loss in current operations. The amount of impairment loss of held-to-maturity securities or non-marketable equity securities is measured as the difference between the recoverable amount and the carrying amount. The recoverable amount of held-to-maturity securities is the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the securities’ original effective interest rate. For available-for-sale debt or equity securities stated at fair value, the amount of impairment loss to be recognized in the current period is determined by subtracting the amount of impairment loss already recognized in prior periods from the amount of amortized cost in excess of the recoverable amount for debt securities or the amount of the acquisition cost in excess of the fair value for equity securities.

  (d) Investment Securities, Continued

For non-marketable equity securities accounted for at acquisition cost, the impairment loss is equal to the difference between the recoverable amount and the carrying amount.

If the investment subsequently recovers for securities at fair value, the increase in value is recorded in current operations, up to the amount of the previously recognized impairment loss, while for securities stated at amortized cost or acquisition cost, the increase in value is recorded in current operations, so that its recovered value does not exceed what its amortized cost would have been as of the recovery date had there been no impairment loss.

If the intent and ability to hold the securities changes, transferred securities are accounted for at fair value. When held-to-maturity securities are reclassified as available-for-sale securities, unrealized gains or losses between the book value and fair value are reported in shareholders’ equity as a capital adjustment. When available-for-sale securities are reclassified as held-to- maturity securities, the unrealized gain or loss at the date of the transfer continues to be reported in shareholder’s equity as a capital adjustment and it is amortized over the remaining term of the securities using the effective interest rate method.

 

  (e) Investment Securities under the Equity Method of Accounting

For investments in companies, whether or not publicly held, under the Company’s significant influence, the Company utilizes the equity method of accounting. Significant influence is generally deemed to exist if the Company can exercise influence over the operating and financial policies of an investee. The ability to exercise that influence may be indicated in several ways, such as the Company’s representation on its board of directors, the Company’s participation in its policy making processes, material transactions with the investee, interchange of managerial personnel, or technological dependency. Also, if the Company owns directly or indirectly 20% or more of the voting stock of an investee, the Company generally presumes that the investee is under its significant influence. The change in the Company’s share of an investee’s net equity resulting from a change in an investee’s net equity is reflected in current operations, retained earnings, and capital adjustment depending on whether the change was derived from the investee’s net income (loss), changes in retained earnings or changes in capital surplus and capital adjustments.

Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s initial investment is recorded at cost and is subsequently increased to reflect the Company’s share of investee income and reduced to reflect the Company’s share of investee losses or dividends received. The Company does not record its share of losses of an affiliate when such losses would make the Company’s investment in such entity less than zero unless the Company has guaranteed obligations of the investee or is otherwise committed to provide additional financial support.

Assets and liabilities of foreign-based companies accounted for using the equity method are translated at the current rate of exchange at the balance sheet date while profit and loss items in the statement of income are translated at the average rate and the capital account at the historical rate. The translation gains and losses arising from collective translation of the foreign currency financial statements of foreign-based companies are offset and the balance is accumulated as a capital adjustment.

Certain affiliates apply different accounting methods for cost of inventory and the depreciation method of fixed assets and intangible assets than those of the Company since the effect of using different accounting methods is not considered material.

  (f) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets, which consist of computer software, industrial rights, land rights and others, are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Such intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over a reasonable period, from 4 years to 20 years, based on the nature of the asset.

 

  (g) Asset Impairment

When the book value of assets exceeds their recoverable value due to obsolescence, physical damage or sharp decline in market value, the impaired assets are recorded at the estimated recoverable value and the resulting impairment loss is charged to current operations. If the recoverable value exceeds the adjusted book value of the assets in subsequent periods, the excess is recognized as a gain in subsequent periods until the net realizable value equals the book value of the assets before the losses were recognized.

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management’s judgment, that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. These computations utilize judgments and assumptions inherent in management’s estimate of undiscounted future cash flows to determine the recoverability of an asset. If management’s assumptions about these assets change as a result of events or circumstances, and management believes the assets may have declined in value, then the Company may record impairment charges. Management uses its best estimate in making these evaluations and considers various factors, including the future prices of energy, fuel costs and operating costs. However, actual market prices and operating costs may vary from those used in impairment evaluations, and the impact of such variations could be material.

 

  (h) Cash Equivalents

The Company considers short-term financial instruments with maturities of three months or less at the acquisition date to be cash equivalents.

 

  (i) Financial Instruments

Short-term financial instruments are financial instruments handled by financial institutions which are held for short-term cash management purposes or which will mature within one year, including time deposits, installment savings deposits, repurchase agreement (or Repos) and restricted bank deposits. Long-term financial instruments are financial instruments not included in current assets.

 

  (j) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on an analysis of individual accounts and past experience of collection. Smaller-balance homogeneous receivables are evaluated considering current economic conditions and trends, prior charge-off experience and delinquencies.

  (k) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, cost being determined using the weighted-average method for raw materials, moving-average method for supplies and specific-identification method for other inventories. The Company maintains perpetual inventory records, which are adjusted through physical counts at the end of each year.

 

  (l) Convertible Bonds

When issuing convertible bonds, the values of the conversion rights are recognized separately. Considerations for conversion rights are measured by deducting the present value of ordinary or straight debt securities from the gross proceeds of the convertible bonds received at the date of issuance. The amortization of the premium and conversion right adjustment is recorded as a component of interest expense.

The value of common shares issued pursuant to any exercise of conversion rights is measured as the sum of the carrying amount, at the time of conversion, and the amount of consideration received for such rights, at the time of issuance of the convertible bonds, at the balance sheet date. Convertible bonds are not subject to foreign currency translation as convertible bonds are regarded as non-monetary foreign currency liabilities in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea.

 

  (m) Discount (Premium) on Debentures

Discount (premium) on debentures issued, which represents the difference between the face value and issuance price of debentures, is amortized or accreted using the effective interest method over the life of the debentures. The amount amortized is included in interest expense.

 

  (n) Retirement and Severance Benefits

Employees and directors who have been with the Company for more than one year are entitled to lump-sum payments based on current salary rates and length of service when they leave the Company. The Company’s estimated liability under the plan which would be payable if all employees left on the balance sheet date is accrued in the accompanying non-consolidated balance sheets.

Funding of the retirement and severance benefits is not required; however, tax deductions are limited if the liability is not funded. During 2005, the Company purchased severance insurance deposits, which meet the funding requirement for tax deduction purposes. These consist of individual severance insurance deposits, in which the beneficiary is the respective employee, with a balance of Won100,917 million as of September 30, 2006. Such amounts are presented as a deduction from the accrual of retirement and severance benefits.

Through March 1999, under the National Pension Scheme of Korea, the Company transferred a portion of retirement allowances for employees to the National Pension Fund. The amount transferred will reduce the retirement and severance benefit amount to be payable to the employees when they leave the Company and is accordingly reflected in the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements as a reduction to the retirement and severance benefit liability. However, due to the new regulation applied since April 1999, such transfers to the National Pension Fund are no longer required.

  (o) Reserve for Self-Insurance

In accordance with the Accounting Regulations for Government Invested Enterprises, the Company provides a self-insurance reserve for loss from accident and liability to third parties that may arise in connection with the Company’s non-insured facilities. The self-insurance reserve is recorded until the amount meets a certain percentage of non-insured buildings and machinery. Payments made to settle applicable claims are charged to this reserve.

 

  (p) Foreign Currency Translation

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Korean Won at the balance sheet date, with the resulting gains and losses recognized in current results of operations. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Korean Won at Won945.2 to US$1, the rate of exchange on September 30, 2006 as permitted by the Financial Accounting Standards. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are stated at historical cost, are translated into Korean Won at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction.

Foreign currency assets and liabilities of foreign-based operations and companies accounted for using the equity method are translated at current rate of exchange at the balance sheet date while profit and loss items in the statement of income are translated at average rate and capital accounts at historical rate. Translation gains and losses arising from collective translation of foreign currency financial statements of foreign-based operations are offset and the balance is accumulated as a capital adjustment.

 

  (q) Derivatives

All derivative instruments are accounted for at fair value with the valuation gain or loss recorded as an asset or liability. If the derivative instrument is not part of a transaction qualifying as a hedge, the adjustment to fair value is reflected in current operations. The accounting for derivative transactions that are part of a qualified hedge based both on the purpose of the transaction and on meeting the specified criteria for hedge accounting differs depending on whether the transaction is a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge. Fair value hedge accounting is applied to a derivative instrument designated as hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or a firm commitment (hedged item) that is attributable to a particular risk. The gain or loss both on the hedging derivative instruments and on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk is reflected in current operations.

Cash flow hedge accounting is applied to a derivative instrument designated as hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows of an asset or a liability or a forecasted transaction that is attributable to a particular risk. The effective portion of gain or loss on a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge is recorded as a capital adjustment and the ineffective portion is recorded in current operations.

The effective portion of gain or loss recorded as a capital adjustment is reclassified to current earnings in the same period during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. If the hedged transaction results in the acquisition of an asset or the incurrence of a liability, the gain or loss in capital adjustment is added to or deducted from the asset or the liability.

  (r) Provisions, Contingent Assets and Contingent Liabilities

Provisions are recognized when all of the following are met: (1) an entity has a present obligation as a result of a past event, (2) it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and (3) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Contingent losses are generally recognized as a liability when probable and reasonably estimable. In cases where an obligation is settled, the Company recognizes the amount reimbursable from a third party as a separate asset when it is virtually certain that the reimbursement will be received. In such cases, income, if any, recognized on receipt of the reimbursement is presented net of the charges made in connection with the provision.

 

  (s) Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of electric power based on meter readings made on a monthly basis. The Company does not accrue revenue for power sold after the meter readings but prior to the end of the accounting period. The Company recognizes revenue on long-term contacts, which are related to the construction of power plants in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea), based on the percentage-of-completion method. Revenue other than sale of electric power and revenue on long-term contracts is recognized when the Company’s revenue-earning activities have been substantially completed, the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, and it is probable that the Company will receive the economic benefits associated with the transaction.

 

  (t) Income Taxes

Income tax on the income or loss for the year is comprised of current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the statement of income. Deferred income tax is recognized in the statement of income except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity.

Deferred tax is provided using the asset and liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date.

A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the unused tax losses and credits can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

 

  (u) Dividends Payable

Annual dividends are recorded when resolved by the board of directors and approved by the shareholders.

  (v) Prior Period Adjustments

Cumulative prior period adjustments resulting from other than fundamental errors are charged or credited to results of operations for the current period. Fundamental errors are defined as errors with such a significant effect on the financial statements for one or more prior periods that those financial statements can no longer be considered to have been reliable at the date of their issue. Prior period adjustments resulting from fundamental errors are charged or credited to the beginning balance of retained earnings, and the financial statements of the prior year are restated.

 

  (w) Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share are calculated by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders plus interest expense, net of tax, of convertible notes by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of the convertible notes.

 

  (x) Use of Estimates

The preparation of non-consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the non-consolidated financial statements and related notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(2) Basis of Translating Financial Statements

The non-consolidated financial statements are expressed in Korean Won and, solely for the convenience of the reader, the non-consolidated financial statements as of and for the three-month and nine month period ended September 30, 2006, have been translated into United States dollars at the rate of Won945.2 to US$1, the basic exchange rate on September 30, 2006. The translation should not be construed as a representation that any or all of the amounts shown could be converted into U.S. dollars at this or any other rate.

 

(3) Property, Plant and Equipment

 

  (a) Asset Revaluation

The Company revalued its property, plant and equipment in accordance with the KEPCO Act and the then Asset Revaluation Law (the latest revaluation date was on January 1, 1999), and recorded a revaluation gain of Won12,552,973 million as a reserve for asset revaluation, a component of capital surplus.

(*1) These available-for-sales securities are non-marketable equity securities and are stated at cost. The Company did not observe any events or changes in circumstances that would have had a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment.
(*2) As described in note 1(e), investment in affiliates in which the Company owns 20% or more of the voting stock should be stated using the equity method. However, if the difference between the equity method and cost was considered to be immaterial, and the Company recorded the investment within available-for-sale securities at cost.
(*3) Korea Power Exchange operates under the regulations for government affiliated organization, electric power market managerial regulations, and the Electricity Enterprises Act. Moreover, when the purpose of establishment and articles of incorporation of Korea Power Exchange are considered, the Company does not appear to have significant management control and thus recorded the investment within available-for-sale securities at cost.
(*4) In order to stabilize the price of the Company’s common stock in the market, the Company entered into a treasury stock fund (the Fund) composed of treasury stock and other equity securities in December, 1992.

Appropriated retained earnings as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 are summarized as follows:

 

     Won (millions)
     2006    2005

Involuntary:

   Won 1,603,919    1,601,871

     210,000    210,000
           
     22,318,288    20,607,420
           
   Won 23,922,207    22,209,291
           

The KEPCO Act requires the Company to appropriate a legal reserve equal to at least 20 percent of net income for each accounting period until the reserve equals 50 percent of the common stock. The legal reserve is not available for cash dividends. However, this reserve may be credited to paid-in capital (a component of capital surplus) or offset against accumulated deficit by resolution of the shareholders.

Prior to 1990, according to the KEPCO Act, at least 20 percent of net income in each fiscal year was required to be established as a reserve for business expansion until such reserve equaled the common stock. Beginning in 1990, no percentage was specified.

The reserve for investment in social overhead capital and the reserve for research and human resources development are appropriated by the Company to avail itself of qualified tax credits to reduce corporate tax liabilities. These reserves are not available for cash dividends for a certain period defined in the Special Tax Treatment Control Law.

Until December 10, 2002 under the Special Tax Treatment Control Law, investment tax credit was allowed for certain investments. The Company was, however, required to appropriate from retained earnings the amount of tax benefits received and transfer such amount into a reserve for business rationalization. Effective December 11, 2002, the Company is no longer required to establish a reserve for business rationalization despite tax benefits received for certain investments and, consequently, the existing balance is now regarded as a voluntary reserve.

The reserve for dividend equalization, which is considered a voluntary reserve, is appropriated by the Company to reduce fluctuation of dividend rate for the purpose of stabilizing the Company’s stock price and credit rating.

  (a) As of September 30, 2006, the Company was involved in 45 lawsuits as plaintiff and 245 lawsuits as defendant. The amount of damages claimed related to the lawsuits as plaintiff and defendant were Won24,295 million and Won265,732 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2006. As of September 30, 2006, the Company recorded a liability related to the above claims amounting to Won1,340 million. In the opinion of management, the ultimate results of these lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

 

  (b) A key stipulation of the Agreed Framework signed by the United States and North Korea in October 1994 was that a US-led international consortium would construct two commercial light water reactors in North Korea in return for certain nuclear non-proliferation steps to be taken by North Korea. The Korean Peninsula Energy Development Organization (“KEDO”) was chartered in March 1995 as the international consortium stipulated by the Agreed Framework and signed an agreement with North Korea in December 1995 to supply the light water reactors. Kumho, North Korea was selected as the site for such light water reactors and KEDO designated the Company as its prime contractor to build two units of pressurized light water reactors with a total capacity of 2,000 megawatts. The Company entered into a fixed price turnkey contract with KEDO, which became effective on February 3, 2000. The contract amount was US$4,182 million subject to adjustment to cover any changes in the price level.

In November 2002, amid suspicions that North Korea was engaged in an undeclared program to enrich uranium, KEDO suspended the supply of heavy fuel oil to North Korea, which was part of the Agreed Framework. Subsequently, North Korea withdrew from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons in January 2003 and resumed operations at the Yongbyon facility, a nuclear facility whose operations had been frozen under the Agreed Framework. Several diplomatic initiatives were taken to resolve these issues to no avail.

In December 2003, asserting that North Korea had not met the conditions required for the continuation of the project, KEDO suspended the construction of the project for one year, which was subsequently extended to November 30, 2005. However, the Company continued to perform maintenance for the project during 2004 and 2005. In December 2005, KEDO sent a delegation to North Korea to discuss the issues regarding the project’s termination and demobilization. During the meeting, North Korea requested KEDO to withdraw all of its personnel. On January 8, 2006, KEDO completed the withdrawal of all workers from the project site.

The Executive Board of KEDO decided to terminate the light water reactor project as of May 31, 2006. KEDO notified the Company of the termination of the project and the related turnkey contract between KEDO and the Company. The Company is in the process of settling the Termination Agreement (“TA”) with KEDO.

 

  (c) As described in note 16, the Company entered into short-term credit facilities with five banks including Woori Bank that provide for up to Won1,160,000 million in short-term borrowings.
