Parties

  • Vendors : (1) New Concept; and

  • (2) SHK, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NOL, a company listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange, principally engaged in sale and distribution of liquefied petroleum gas, sale and distribution of oil products and sale of electronics parts.

  • 19 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Assets to be disposed of

New Concept and SHK have conditionally agreed to sell, and the Purchaser has conditionally agreed to purchase, the Sale Shares for an aggregate consideration of approximately HK$241 million. The Sale Shares represent the entire issued share capital of Success Pillar.

Consideration

The Consideration for the Sale Shares shall be, upon completion of the Disposal, paid by the Purchaser in cash:

  • (1) as to HK$84,413,000 for the AV Sale Shares to New Concept; and

  • (2) as to HK$156,767,000 for the NO Sale Shares to SHK.

The Consideration was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between SHK, New Concept and the Purchaser on normal commercial terms taking into account the benchmark net revenue of HK$215,533,248 achieved by the Success Pillar Subsidiaries during the Market Trial Period, of which 51% was attributable to Success Pillar, being HK$109,921,956 (“Attributable Quarterly Net Revenue”). The total consideration payable by the Purchaser for the entire issued share capital of Success Pillar equals approximately 2.2 times the Attributable Quarterly Net Revenue.

In arriving at the consideration, the parties had regard to the quarterly trading volume of 61,650 metric tons of bunker fuel (being approximately 3% of the average quarterly sales in the whole of Hong Kong for year 2011) and an acceptable level of gross profit (being HK$10,664,013) achieved by the Success Pillar Subsidiaries during the Market Trial Period. The parties agree that the method of price determination is fair and reasonable taking into account the growth potential of Success Pillar, the limited member of bunkering service providers in Hong Kong and the growth trend of the industry.

Completion of the Disposal Agreement

Completion of the Disposal shall take place on the second Business Day after all the conditions precedent as set out in the paragraph headed “Conditions Precedent of the Disposal Agreement” below shall have been fulfilled or waived (if applicable) or such other date as may be agreed between the parties to the Disposal Agreement.

Conditions Precedent of the Disposal Agreement

The Disposal shall be conditional upon the following conditions being fulfilled:

  • (1) NOL having complied with the shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules with respect to the Disposal Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder;

  • 20 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (2) the Company having complied with the shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules with respect to the Disposal Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder;

  • (3) the warranties given by SHK and New Concept under the Disposal Agreement (subject to matters already disclosed by SHK and New Concept to the Purchaser) remaining true and accurate in all material respects;

  • (4) completion of the Investment Agreement; and

  • (5) completion of the subscription agreement dated 5 September 2012 entered into between Nitgen and the Purchaser in relation to the subscription of shares in the Purchaser by Nitgen.

The conditions precedent in paragraphs (1) and (2) cannot be waived.

INFORMATION ON SUCCESS PILLAR

Success Pillar is a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on 23 April 2012 and is principally engaged in investment holding. As at the date of the Disposal Agreement, Success Pillar is owned as to 35% by New Concept and as to 65% by SHK and Success Pillar is an associated company of the Company.

The principal assets of Success Pillar are its 51% interests in the Success Pillar Subsidiaries. In May 2012, the Success Pillar Subsidiaries commenced marine bunkering services in Hong Kong as a spearhead project for the NOL’s oil products business prior to commencement of operation of the Zhuhai Petroleum Depot and chartered a marine bunkering station and three bunker ships, which all operated in the Hong Kong Harbour. Requisite operating licenses and validation, including Dangerous Goods Carriage Permits and Declaration of Fitness have been obtained by these vessels. It was the objective of the spearhead project to provide business channels for the Zhuhai Petroleum Depot outside of the PRC so that, when the Zhuhai Petroleum Depot commences operation, its efficiency can be boosted by additional trading volume brought in from other Asian regions.

In pursuance of the object of the spearhead project, during the Market Trial Period the equipment, supply channels and logistics arrangements of the Success Pillar Subsidiaries were tested and validated, and efforts were made to establish a local clientele. The Success Pillar Subsidiaries formally launched their operation on 1 August 2012 (“Launch Date”).

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE SECURITIES SUBSCRIPTION, THE SHARES SUBSCRIPTION AND THE DISPOSAL

The principal activities of the Group consist of the marketing and distribution of electronic components, and the design, development and sale of electronic products.

It has been the business strategy of the Group to seek business and investment opportunities which provide growth potential and enhance value of the Shareholders. The Securities Subscription and the Shares Subscription, together with the acquisition of interests in Nitgen by the Group as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 10 May 2012 and the disposal of 48% interest in Signeo Green Energy

  • 22 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Limited to the Purchaser, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nitgen, as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 12 July 2012, are in line with the Group’s development strategy and enhance the synergy between Nitgen and the Group through restructuring and/or acquisitions and disposals with a view to creating value for the Shareholders. The Directors consider that the Securities Subscription and the Shares Subscription offer a good opportunity for the Group to tap on opportunities in and expand its business in electronic components and electronic products. Nitgen Group is principally engaged in the provision of biometric solutions and provides biometric technology with embedded module, fingerprint scanner, PC peripheral device and fingerprint server certification, which requires certain electronic components of which the Group could supply to Nitgen. By supplying electronic components to Nitgen, the Company expects to be able to foster a steady stream of revenue in its electronic components business.

Further, Nitgen has good development prospects and potential synergy with the Group’s LED business. The Group considers that the market acceptance and response to LED lighting and energy saving products to be better in Korea. Accordingly, the Company intends to streamline its business, explore the opportunities to launch, pursue restructure and/or expand its business through Nitgen, a company incorporated and operated in Korea.

Through cooperation with Nitgen, both the Group and Nitgen may concentrate on their respective comparative advantages, increase net efficiency, and ultimately improve the Group’s competitiveness. For example, the Company has an established sales and distribution network in the Southeast Asia region and while Nitgen has established businesses and presence in Korea. While each of them can continue to strengthen such advantages, Nitgen can leverage on the Group’s established sales and distribution network in Southeast Asia so as to expand its business in Southeast Asia; the Group can also launch or expand business which have better market acceptance or response in Korea via Nitgen.

All the above factors are expected to offer synergy effects and complementary benefits, and provide incentive for long-term collaboration to achieve a win-win situation for the Group and Nitgen. The transactions will allow the Group to better enhance and strengthen its competitive advantages in the industry and improve its profitability.

Besides, although the Nitgen Group recorded a loss before tax for the year ended 31 December 2011 and the six months ended 30 June 2012, this will not eliminate benefits deriving from the potential synergy mentioned above. In addition, the Directors believe that the financial performance of the Nitgen Group may be improved after the Purchaser’s acquisition of 100% interest in Success Pillar.

Assuming completion of the Investment Agreement and the Subscription Agreement, the Group’s interest in Nitgen will increase from approximately 20.28% to approximately 35.94% of the enlarged share capital of Nitgen immediately upon the Investment Closing (without taking into account the Conversion Nitgen Shares to be issued under full conversion of the NCC Bonds, the SHK Bonds and the Existing Bonds), and approximately 45.67% of the enlarged share capital of Nitgen after the Investment Closing and upon full conversion of the NCC Bonds (assuming no conversion of the SHK Bonds and the Existing Bonds taking place).

The Directors consider that the Disposal represents an opportunity for the Group to realise its investment in Success Pillar. The Directors expects to recognise an unaudited gain of approximately HK$82.37 million from the Disposal, being the difference between the consideration for the Disposal and the

  • 23 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Group’s cost of investment in Success Pillar. It is expected that the net proceeds from the Disposal will be used for general working capital and/or future development of the Group such as acquisition of companies or assets when opportunities arise. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group had not identified any investment target. The consideration of HK$84,413,000 for the AV Sale Shares represents an excess of approximately HK$82.37 million over approximately HK$2.04 million, being 35% of the net asset value as at 1 August 2012 of Success Pillar attributable to the Group.

When the Group agreed to invest in Success Pillar, Success Pillar has not yet actively commenced its operation and at that time, there was no certainty on the success of the business of Success Pillar and the Group has to bear investment risk. During the Market Trial Period, the Success Pillar Subsidiaries commenced marine bunkering services in Hong Kong, chartered a marine bunkering station and three bunker ships, which all operated in Hong Kong Harbour and requisite operating licenses and validation have been obtained by these vessels. In addition, the equipment, supply channels and logistics arrangements of the Success Pillar Subsidiaries were tested and validated, and efforts were made to establish a local clientele during the Market Trial Period. With these efforts, the Success Pillar Subsidiaries are able to demonstrate good financial results during the Market Trial Period and growth potential, which have been taken into account in determining the consideration for the Sale Shares. The Company contemplated the negotiation with the Purchaser about the Disposal in or about August 2012, after the market Trial Period. The Directors believe that difference between the investment cost of Success Pillar of the Group and SHK and the consideration for the Sale Shares reflect the efforts made by, and achievements of, Success Pillar and the Success Pillar Subsidiaries during the Market Trial Period mentioned above.

Before completion of the Disposal, the Group has 35% interest in Success Pillar. Immediately after completion of the Disposal, the Group will have 35.94% interest in Nitgen (without taking into account the Conversion Nitgen Shares to be issued under full conversion of the NCC Bonds, the SHK Bonds and the Existing Bonds), which will then via the Purchaser (which is 100% subsidiary of Nitgen), own 100% interest in Success Pillar, resulting the Group having 35.94% indirect interest in Success Pillar. Given that the Group’s interest in Success Pillar remains almost the same before and after the Disposal and the Group will record a substantial gain from the Disposal, the Directors consider that the Disposal is in the best interest of the Shareholders and the Company as a whole.

Each of the terms of the Investment Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and the Disposal Agreement were determined after arm’s length negotiations between the parties thereto. The Directors are of the view that each of the Securities Subscription, the Shares Subscription and the Disposal is on normal commercial terms and is in the interests of the Company and that the terms of the Investment Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and the Disposal Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

Each of: (a) the Securities Subscription and the Shares Subscription, both on their own and in aggregate with the acquisition of interests in Nitgen by the Group as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 10 May 2012; and (b) the Disposal, in aggregate with the disposal of 48% interest in Signeo Green Energy Limited to the Purchaser as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 12 July 2012 constitutes a major transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules and is subject to reporting and announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements of Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RELAXATION OF THE REQUIREMENT TO INCLUDE AN ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON NITGEN

Pursuant to Rule 14.67(6)(a)(i) of the Listing Rules, on an acquisition of any business, company or companies, a circular issued in relation to an acquisition constituting a major transaction must contain, among other matters, an accountants’ report on the business, company or companies being acquired in accordance with Chapter 4 of the Listing Rules provided that, where any company in question has not or will not become a subsidiary of the listed issuer, the Exchange may be prepared to relax this requirement. The accounts on which the report is based must relate to a financial period ended 6 months or less before the circular is issued. The financial information on the business, company or companies being acquired as contained in the accountants’ report must be prepared using accounting policies which should be materially consistent with those of the listed issuer. Further, pursuant to Rule 14.67(7) of the Listing Rules, in a circular issued in relation to an acquisition constituting a major transaction must contain, among other matters, a management discussion and analysis of results of the business, company or companies being acquired covering all those matters set out in paragraph 32 of Appendix 16 to the Listing Rules for the period reported in the accountants’ report.

The Company has applied for a relaxation to include an accountants’ report under Rule 14.67(6)(a)(i) of the Listing Rules and a waiver from strict compliance of the management discussion and analysis of results as referred to under Rule 14.67(7) of the Listing Rules in relation to the transactions contemplated under the Investment Agreement and the Subscription Agreement for the following reasons:

  • (1) as Nitgen is not and will not be a subsidiary of the Company, the financial assets of Nitgen has not been and will not be consolidated into that of the Company. The Group has no access to the financial information and underlying supporting documents of Nitgen to prepare the audited financial statements of Nitgen, save for those published by Nitgen in the public domain. The financial information available to the Company and other shareholders of Nitgen are the same and the Company does not have any privilege over other shareholders of Nitgen in this regard;

  • (2) Nitgen is a public listed company whose common shares are listed on KOSDAQ of the Korean Exchange. Under the applicable laws of Korea, Nitgen will provide the shareholders of Nitgen with the annual, interim and quarterly reports of Nitgen (in Korean), and financial information of Nitgen in connection with certain transactions or other events which are required to be disclosed under the applicable laws of Korea;

  • (3) the Group has requested Nitgen for the provision of the relevant financial information and underlying supporting documents. However Nitgen was not able to provide the same on the grounds that:

  • (i) based on the fact that (a) the Nitgen was not and will not become a subsidiary of the Company; (b) the financial statement of Nitgen will not be consolidated into that of the Group; and (c) New Concept is already an existing shareholder of Nitgen, Nitgen considered that the publicly published financial information of Nitgen would be sufficient for the Group, as a shareholder of Nitgen, to assess Nitgen’s financial position;

  • 25 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (ii) further, the management of Nitgen has a fiduciary duty to Nitgen to safeguard any release or use of Nitgen’s information, and in the case of its books and underlying financial records, the proprietary and non-public information of Nitgen. To maintain this fiduciary duty to Nitgen, before disclosing the books and underlying financial records to the Company (if required), the management of Nitgen would require obtaining from the Company (and the reporting accountant) formal confidentiality undertakings not to divulge the information to third parties or to let Nitgen to have absolute right on disclosure. Such undertakings could not be given by the Company (and the reporting accountant), as the information is to be used for in a circular which is published to the public; and

  • (iii) the management of Nitgen consider that the request would place an undue burden on Nitgen, incur unnecessary costs and manpower to collate and provide all the information required for preparation of the accountants’ report, especially when Nitgen has published its audited financial statements for the past three financial years;

  • (4) as Nitgen is not a subsidiary of the Company, its financial results would not be consolidated into that of the Group, the Group’s interest in Nitgen will be accounted as an investment in an associated company. Further, the Company has access to the financial information of Nitgen which are published in the public domain and made available to all shareholders of Nitgen. Nitgen is a public listed company on the Korean Exchange and, under the applicable laws of Korea, Nitgen is required to inform its shareholders and the Financial Services Commission of Korea and its shareholders (by way of announcements and reports which are publicly published) on the details of matters including those which materially affect the financial position and operations of Nitgen. In addition, the Share Subscription Price was not determined by reference to historical financial information of Nitgen but in accordance with the requirements under the applicable Korean laws. The Company considers that the absence of the accountants’ report of Nitgen would not be prejudicial to the interest of the Shareholders or constitute omission of significant information; and

  • (5) as there will be no such accountants’ report of Nitgen to be prepared by the Company based on the reasons as set out above, there will be no management discussion and analysis of results of Nitgen as referred to in Rule 14.67(7) of the Listing Rules.

II. CONTENTS OF BUSINESS

1. SUMMARY OF BUSINESS

A. Status of business

The business field of the Company belongs is in bio-scan including finger scan, face scan, iris scan and others in its technological classification. However, the bio-scan has diverse access security fields as the core technology rather than a product group within. When looking under the standard of front-line market to apply the finger scan technology as the business field of the Company, it is classified into three access security markets in access security and attendance management, device and system access security, identify confirmation and AFIS and others.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NITGEN FOR THE YEAR 2009

APPENDIX IIA

(1) Definition of bio-scan industry

The bio-scan technology is the technology to informatize by extracting ecologic or behavioral bio-information of an individual. Instead of existing ID, card or password, it uses the physical characteristics in finger print, face and others to confirm the identity. This industry is closely related to the security market and it is expected to be of great beneficiary since the technology in security market has shifted from analog to digital. In fact, it is assured to make great expansion of the scale for the bio-scan industry in accordance with the technology changes in the present security market.

(2) The bio-scan industry in initial phase to grow into high-tech industry

The bio-scan industry prior to 1990s had slow advancement of the market due to lack of technology stability and high price, but, following the advancement of the IT technology after 1990s, the price of product has declined and the sensor has become slimmed down to increase convenience to broaden its range of application. In particular, government institutions, industries, research institutes and general public have facilitated in diverse fields for bio-scan tangible asset to drastically expand after the ‘September 11 Terror’. The US and other countries have applied bio-scan technology in electronic passport, electric resident card and others for personal identification or immigration control with the drastic growth of security market that used the bio-scan technology around public field and the US and other governments have established various policies to develop the bio-scan industry or adopted the bio-scan technology.

(3) Industry with diverse access security field

As it is still in initial growth phase, diversification of products has been very active. From the existing market of access security, attendance management, door lock, savings, security, laptop PC, e-commerce, mobile certifications, it has expand its application field to new markets in e-passport reader, financial security card, scanner market and others. The bio-scan technology has applied in all fields of using password, card, authentication and ID to be available to replace, and when introducing the bio-scan technology in existing system, there is no separate infra to be structured that it is easy to advance to the market. It is expected to be expanded into application fields of bio-scan technology as the advancement of technology to accelerate and IC technology to develop.

(4) Industry with high entry barrier

The bio-scan industry has close relationship with the field that demands high level of reliability in access security or ID confirmation that the product would not be used before verifying it in long period of time that new entry is hard to come by. Even if a product is developed, it requires sustained demand or training on product changes from users as well as technology support on product that it maintains closed features with close maintenance of relationship of manufacturing companies and intermediary distribution company.

APPENDIX IIA

(5) Position of the finger scan within the bio-scan market

The field that has the largest portion within the bio-scan market is the finger scan market. The finger scan market takes 58.9% of global market as of 2007 and it is in overwhelming position for 91.4% in the domestic market. The finger scan technology has less sense of refusal for users compared to any other bio-scan technology and it has the upper position relatively for its price competitiveness and accuracy that this is an industry with fastest growth and it has high access security for diverse fields that it is most widely used for bio-scan methods now.

The finger scan that is most widely used in the bio-scan fields is the technology equipped with several factors required in actual life application for security (accuracy), user convenience, appropriate price and others that it has formed unique market scale in bio-scan technologies. According to the global market share rate for each bio-scan technology as of 2007 on the “Biometrics Market and Industry Report 2007-2012” by IBG (International Biometrics Group), the finger scan has 60% of market share rate from the entire bio-scan technologies.

In 2000s, after the September 11 Terror in the US, there is an explosive demand on the security industry that it has brought another turning point for the bio-scan industry once again. With the active movement to apply the bio-scan-based immigration management system to detect possible terrorists and heighten the national security level, the trend is to load the bioscan information for personal confirmation on various ID cards, such as, passport, resident card, driver’s license and others. In addition, the application field of bio-scan technology has been broadened to access security, information security and attendance management and others.

B. Status of the Company

(1) Outline of business

Since 1998 when the term of bio-scan technology was unfamiliar, the Company has been fully devoted for unyielding R&D effort with the pride in leading the domestic and global finger scan technology for over 10 years. The Company holds the core technologies in finger scan field, such as, sensor, algorithm, applied technology and others, and in particular, the Company holds the original technologies on optic-method fiscal year sensor and algorithm. On the basis of such original technologies, the Company is the only company to provide integrated finger scan solution for access control terminal, PC peripheral device live, live scanner and finger scan server. The Company may divide its business fields for access controller, attendance management terminal, finger scan mouse and PC peripheral device, electronic passport and other public use in library scanner, PC log in finger scan server solution, mass capacity and high speed search solution and others.

The most representative field from the application fields of finger scan technology is the access control and attendance management system. The existing method of using a key or password has the problem of being stolen, theft, loss of memory and others, and representative technology to supplement the existing problems would be bio-scan technology and this finger scan technology has outstanding user convenience and economic feasibility to make one of the

(3) Characteristics of market

j Major target market

The finger scan technology of our company is the key technology to apply in diverse fields in access security, network security, financial payment, mobile certification and others. Up to the present time, the Company has been focusing on physical security field in access security, attendance management and others, and it has the plan to expand the business into public project field for e-passport, immigration management, criminal identification and others.

k Structure and characteristics of users

Structure and characteristics of users of our company’s products follow the characteristics of component and SW license industry for finger scan solution, completed product and application SW distribution industry for the finger scan system depending on the characteristics of the product group.

l Factors to change the demand

Factors changing the demand of our company’s products can be divided into external factors, such as the change of the bio-scan market, change of security market and others as well as internal factors following the products and business undertaking of the Company. The bio-scan market environment is expected to grow continuously under price and technology. From the earlier days, there was a great consensus on needs and efficacy of the bio-scan product but high price and immature technology have been the obstacles. However, after 2000s, significant interest and investment have been given to the bio-scan industry to upgrade the overall level of bio-scan technology and our company in particular, and some other leading companies have been making great stride for market expansion. It is expected to make even higher level of technical maturity with the advancement of the fingerprint sensor related technology and capability improvement of CPU as well as the improvement in finger scan algorithm. With respect to the price aspect, the finger scan related component price has been lowered over 50% in recent several years. In fact, the finger print sensor, one of the key hardware that composes the core part of the finger scan solution was USD50 or more by the early times of 2000, but it is in the range of USD15-30 and in the event of the semiconductor method of finger print sensor applied in laptop computer, mobile phone and others have come to the USD5 range. CPU that carries out the Finger Scan computation has been approximately 4-5 times lower compared to the same capability in the recent several years. Such advancement in technology and price decline would lead to the market expansion and the demand for Finger Scan solution and system products of the Company would be influenced as well. Demand for the Finger Scan product of the Company is related to the expansion or slow down of security market as the representative application field. The September 11 Terror incident of the US has brought sense of alarm on security throughout the world, including the US, and it has brought remarkable advancement of video security and access security industry.

economic feasibility. In early times of the market, the market was formed mainly for research institutes or general corporate facilities where security is priority, but in recent days, the emphasis is on security as well as convenience in use that the application field has been very broad for general business, plants and apartments. The Finger Scan access control system has no troubles in re-issuance from loss, burden on key or card possession that the demand has been on the rise in the access control and attendance management fields.

k PC/network security

PC/network security means the use of Finger Scan technology in server access control and others under the access control and network environment on PC or laptop computer. Following the drastic advancement of the IC technology, it breaks away from the existing faceto-face transactions to increase non-face-to-face transactions, and under the environment, the demand on accurate personal identification has been valued more than anything else. In the event of existing password or token method, it has the risk of theft, loss, lapse of memory, and others while the Finger Scan has resolved such risk and provides the user convenience at the same time. In addition, most of corporate activities are computerized to emerge the security issue in access authority for users, and in recent times, there have been increasing numbers of companies introducing the security solution within the corporate network by using the Finger Scan technology.

l Live scanner

The market has been drastically expanded around the public field in recent days. By breaking away from existing Finger Scan sensor, the live scanner is normally referred to as the Finger Scan scanner to facilitate in crime investigation, electronic passport, electronic resident card and others. In order to supplement the weakness of acquiring the limited finger print information in the commercial sensor, the general live scanner structured with the large finger print input window is structured to have input in sheet 1, sheet 2 and sheet 4 at the same time. In recent days, Brazil, Mexico and other Central and South America countries as well as India and others have shown a drastic increase in demand, and in Korea, in the event that the electronic resident card project that has been the recent social issues already applied from the National Police Agency, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and others are undertaken, the demand is expected to be explosive.

E. Position of Finger Scan in the bio-scan market

The field that takes the highest ratio in the bio-scan market is clearly the Finger Scan market. The Finger Scan market takes appropriately 67% (including AFIS) of global market in 2009 that it has the overwhelming position for 93.5% as of 2008 for the domestic market. The Finger Scan technology has less sense of denial for users compared to other bio-scan technologies with higher price competitiveness and accuracy compared to others for the fastest growth and it has high possibility to apply in diverse fields that it has the widest use in the present bio-scan methods.

k Structure and characteristics of users

The structure and characteristics of the product users of the Company follow the characteristics of finished product and applied SW distribution industry for the Finger Scan system and characteristics of SW license industry and components for Finger Scan solution.

l Changing factors of demand

Factors to change the demand of the Company’s product may be divided into the external factors in change of bio-scan market and change of security market and the internal factors following the product and sales undertaking of the Company. First of all, the bio-scan market environment is expected to continuously grow under the price and technology in future. From the old days, there are consensus on the efficacy and need of the bio-scan products, but high price and immature technology have been the obstacles. However, after 2000, significant interest and investment on bio-scan industry have brought higher level upgrading in overall bioscan technology for certain leading companies, including the Company, and the market is evaluated at the level with technology no longer an issue to hinder further market expansion.

With the improvement of the Finger Scan algorithm as well as the advancement of finger print sensor related technology and capability improvement of CPU, such technical maturity is expected to be even higher in the future. In the aspect of price, the Finger Scan related part price has been lowered for 50% or more in recent several years. In fact, the finger print sensor, one of the key hardware to structure the Finger Scan solution as the core component of the Finger Scan product was USD50 or more by the early times of 2000, but it is in the range of USD15~30 and in the event of the semiconductor method of finger print sensor applied in laptop computer, mobile phone and others have come to the USD5 range. CPU that carries out the Finger Scan computation has been approximately 4-5 times lower compared to the same capability in the recent several years. Such advancement in technology and price decline would lead to the market expansion and the demand for Finger Scan solution and system products of the Company would be influenced as well. Demand for the Finger Scan product of the Company is related to the expansion or slow down of security market as the representative application field. The September 11 Terror incident of the US has brought sense of alarm on security throughout the world, including the US, and it has brought remarkable advancement in video security and access security industry. Thereafter, increase of terror, various disputes, crime rate and others throughout the world are expected to grow even more in the future for the security industry.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the accounting standards generally accepted in Korea, including Statement of Korea Accounting Standards (“SKAS”) No. 1 through No. 25 (except SKAS No. 14). The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are the same as those used for the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2009.

Major accounting standards adopted by the Company are as follows:

2.1. Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable from sale of goods and rendering of services. Sales allowances, sales discounts, and sales returns are deducted from revenue. The Company recognizes revenue when (1) the significant risks and rewards of ownership of goods have transferred to the buyer; (2) the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement, to the degree usually associated with ownership, nor effective control over the goods sold; (3) the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, and (4) it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company. Revenue associated with rendering of services is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at the balance sheet date when (a) the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; (b) it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow into the entity; (c) the stage of completion of the transaction at the balance sheet date can be measured reliably; and (d) the costs incurred for the transaction and the costs to complete the transaction can be measured reliably.

  • IIB-32 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NITGEN FOR THE YEAR 2010

APPENDIX IIB

Contract revenue is recognized by reference to the percentage of completion of the contract activity measured as of the balance sheet date when the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably. The total estimated contract cost is measured consistently according to the systematic and reasonable procedures and is regularly updated as new information is obtained in the performance of the contract activity. The estimated cost to fulfill any defect liability under the contract is included in construction costs.

2.2. Cash and cash equivalents

Currency, checks issued by others, other currency equivalents, checking accounts, passbook deposits and other short-term financial instruments that are readily convertible into cash with immaterial transaction costs, with maturities (or redemption date) of three months or less from the date of acquisition and present insignificant risk of changes in interest rate are classified as cash and cash equivalents.

2.3. Allowance for doubtful accounts

Allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on an analysis of individual accounts and past experience of collection and presented as a deduction from trade receivables account receivables outstanding at the end of the reporting period.

2.4. Inventories

The cost of inventories is determined by the specific identification method. Valuation loss incurred when the market value of an inventory falls below its carrying amount, and the loss incurred in the ordinary course of business is added to the cost of goods sold and reported as a contra inventory account. When the purchase, production, construction or development of inventories requires a long period of time for completion, the interest cost and other similar borrowing costs incurred during the production or acquisition process is expensed as incurred.

2.5. Investment Securities

After acquisition, the Company classifies equity securities and liability securities other than investments in subsidiaries, investees under equity method and joint venture, into one of the three categories: held-tomaturity, available-for-sale or trading. The appropriateness of the classification is reassessed at each balance sheet date.

Liability securities that have fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity is classified as held-tomaturity when the entity has both the positive intent and ability to hold those securities to maturity. Securities that are bought to generate profits from short-term price differences are classified as trading securities. Securities that are not classified as either held-to-maturity securities or trading securities are classified as available-for-sale securities.

The Company measures the initial acquisition cost of a security as the market price of the consideration given, including any ancillary acquisition costs.

After initial recognition, held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized costs, while trading securities and available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value. However non-marketable equity securities are stated at acquisition cost if their fair values cannot be reliably measured.

The fair value of a marketable security that is traded in an active public securities market refers to the quoted market price, which is the closing price quoted as of the balance sheet date. Even though quoted market prices established in an active market are not available for a certain non-marketable liability security, if future cash flows of the liability security can be reasonably estimated and if credit rating of the issuing entity assessed by a publicly reliable, independent credit rating agency is available, the fair value of the non-marketable liability

  • IIB-33 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NITGEN FOR THE YEAR 2010

APPENDIX IIB

security is be measured at the discounted future cash flows by using a discount rate that appropriately reflects the credit rating. For a non-marketable beneficiary certificate, the certificate’s standard sales price published by fund-managing firms is be used as its fair value.

Unrealized holding gain or loss on a trading security is accounted for as an item of current earnings. Unrealized holding gain or loss on an available-for-sale security is accounted for as valuation loss on availablefor-sale security. When an available-for-sale security is disposed of or written down to recognize impairment loss, the lump-sum cumulative amount of gain or loss previously recognized in equity is reflected in current earnings. When held-to-maturity securities are measured at amortized costs, the difference between their acquisition costs and face values is amortized over the remaining terms of the securities by applying the effective interest method and added to or subtracted from the acquisition costs and interest income of the remaining period.

Securities are assessed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any objective evidence of impairment loss. When there is an evidence that the amount estimated to be recoverable is less than the amortized cost of a liability security or the acquisition cost of an equity security, the Company recognizes impairment loss in current earnings, unless there is a clear counter-evidence that recognition of impairment is unnecessary.

Trading securities and available-for-sale securities, whose maturity dates are due within one year from the balance sheet date or whose likelihood of being disposed of within one year from the balance sheet date is certain, are classified as current assets. Likewise, held-to-maturity securities whose maturity dates are due within one year from the balance sheet date are classified as current assets.

2.6. Equity-Method Investment Securities

Investments in equity securities of companies, over which the Company can exercise significant influence, are reported using the equity method of accounting. Equity securities of small businesses with the effect of equity change being insignificant are stated at cost like other non-marketable equity securities.

(1) Accounting for Changes in the Investor’s Share of Equity Interest

The amount relating to the investor’s share of the total change in net assets of the investee (“Changes in the investor’s share of equity interest in the investee”) is adjusted to the balance of investment in the investee and accounted for in accordance with the source of changes in the net assets of the investee.

Specifically, (1) changes in the investor’s share of equity interest in the investee arising as a result of Net Profit or net loss for the current period, are accounted for as an item of non-operating income (loss), such as gain or loss on application of the equity method; (2) changes in the investor’s share of equity interest in the investee arising as a result of change in the unappropriated retained earnings for the prior period, are accounted for as negative changes in retained earnings arising on application of the equity method; (3) changes in the investor’s share of equity interest in the investee arising as a result of an increase or decrease in equity, excluding the investee’s Net Profit or net loss for the current period and changes in the investee’s beginning balance of retained earnings, are included in the investor’s accumulated other comprehensive income. Provided that, if the investee’s beginning balance of retained earnings has been changed because of a material error correction and if the effect of such change on the financial statements of the investor is immaterial, the resulting changes in the investor’s share of equity interest in the investee are included in the investor’s non-operating income (loss) such as gain or loss on application of the equity method; If an investee’s beginning balance of retained earnings has been changed because of the investee’s accounting changes, the resulting changes in the investor’s share of equity interest in the investee are reflected in the investor’s beginning balance of retained earnings in accordance with Korea Accounting Standards for accounting changes and

  • IIB-34 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NITGEN FOR THE YEAR 2010

APPENDIX IIB

corrections of errors. In the meantime, at the date of an investee’s dividend declaration, the investor subtracts the amount of dividend receivable directly from the carrying amount of the investment in the investee.

(2) Accounting for the Investment Difference

The amount of difference between the cost of acquisition and the investor’s share of the fair values of the net identifiable assets of the investee (“investment difference”) arising on the date of acquisition of an investment in an investee, is treated as goodwill and accounted for in accordance with Korea Accounting Standards on business combinations.

Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis from the year of acquisition over its useful life not exceeding 5 years from the year of acquisition. Negative good will is revered on a straight-line basis over the weighted average useful life up to the fair value of identifiable non-monetary assets. If the subsidiary is included in the investor’s consolidated financial statements, current earnings and net assets reported in the separate financial statements of the investor should coincide with its share of current earnings and net assets of an investee included in the consolidated financial statements unless the investor ceases to apply the equity method because the balance of the investment in the associate has become zero.

When the investor’s share of equity interest in an investee increases or decreases as a result of an increase (or decrease) in contributed capital with (or without) consideration, such difference is treated as investment difference (for the increased share of equity interest) or as gain or loss on disposal of the investment (for the decreased share of equity interest). Provided that, if the investee is a subsidiary, the difference arising as a result of an increase in contributed capital with consideration is accounted for as capital surplus (or capital adjustment).

(3) Accounting for the Difference between the Fair Value and Book Value of the Net Assets of the Investee

At the date of acquisition of an investment in an investee, among the difference between the fair value and book value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of an investee, the amount relating to the investor’s share of equity interest in the associate is amortized or reversed as gain or loss on application of the equity method in accordance with the investee’s methods of accounting for assets and liabilities.

(4) Elimination of Unrealized Gains/Losses

Among the amount calculated by multiplying the investor’s share of an investee’s equity to the total amount of gains or losses arising on transactions between the investor and the investee, the portion of the calculated amount that continues to be reflected in the carrying amount of the investor’s investment held as of the balance sheet date is treated as unrealized gains or losses of the Investor. Unrealized gains are accounted for as a reduction of the carrying amount of the investment in the investee, while unrealized losses are added to the carrying amount of the investment in the investee. Provided that if the investee is a subsidiary, the entire portion of unrealized gains or losses arising on sales of assets from the investor to an investee (commonly referred to as upstream sales transactions) that is included in the carrying amount of assets held as of the balance sheet date are eliminated and accounted for as specified in the foregoing sentence.

2.7. Property, plant and equipment

An item of property, plant, and equipment is presented in the statement of financial position in the form of deducting accumulated depreciation from its acquisition cost, which is comprised of its purchase price or manufacturing costs and any other directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to the working condition of its

  • IIB-35 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NITGEN FOR THE YEAR 2010

APPENDIX IIB

intended use, and subsequent capital expenditure (which is used to extend the useful life or increases future economic benefits). Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Classification Estimated Useful Life Buildings 40 years Other property, plant, and equipment 5 years

In the meantime, the interest cost and other similar borrowing costs related to production, purchase, construction, or development of certain qualifying assets are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred

2.8. Intangible assets

Expenditures on research and development activities are recognized as an intangible asset only if they satisfy all criteria for recognition and it is probable that future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow into the Company. In all other cases, the costs related to research and development activities are included in cost of sales or cost of selling and general administration.

An intangible asset other than goodwill and development expense is measured at its acquisition cost, comprised of the manufacturing cost or purchase price and any other directly attributable expenditure on preparing the asset for its intended use. An intangible asset is amortized over its useful life using the straight line basis from the point when the asset is available for use. An intangible asset is stated net of accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss, and the residual value is assumed to be zero.

Intangible Assets Estimated Useful Life
Development Expenses 3 years
Industrial property rights 10 years
Software and other intangible assets 5 years

2.9. Impairment of Asset

When the carrying value of an asset is significantly greater than its recoverable value due to obsolescence, physical damage, or the decline in the fair value of the asset, the decline in value is deducted from the book value and recognized as an asset impairment loss in the current period. However, if the recoverable amount of an asset, for which impairment loss was recognized in prior periods, exceeds its carrying amount in subsequent fiscal periods, the amount of impairment loss recognized is reversed to the extent of an increased carrying amount of the intangible assets that does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of amortization, if no impairment loss were recognized in prior periods. Provided that impairment loss for goodwill is not reversed in the future.

2.10. Accrued Severance Benefits

Accrued severance benefits are recognized for the greater of (1) the amount payable under the Labor Standard Act and (2) the amount payable under the Company’s Severance Benefit Policy, assuming that officers and employees with at least one year of service were to terminate their employment as of the balance sheet date.

2.11. Foreign currency transactions and translation

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are re-measured into Korean Won at the appropriate exchange rates in effect at the end of the reporting period and resulting translation gains and losses are recognized in the statement of income.

  • IIB-36 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NITGEN FOR THE YEAR 2010

APPENDIX IIB

2.12. Income Tax Expense and Deferred Income Tax

Income tax expense is accounted for by adding to or subtracting the changes in the deferred income tax from the current income tax payable according to the Income Tax Law. The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets or liabilities for the temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset and liability and tax base. A deferred income tax liability for taxable temporary difference is fully recognized except to the extent in accordance with related Statement of Korea Accounting Standards, while a deferred tax asset for deductible temporary difference is recognized to the extent that it is almost certain that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilized. However, income tax resulting from transactions or events, which are directly recognized in shareholders’ equity in current or prior periods, is directly adjusted to equity account.

2.13. Share-based Payment Arrangement

The Company uses the fair-value method in determining compensation costs under share-based payment arrangement for its employees and directors in connection with for the goods and services they provide. The compensation cost is accrued and charged to expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase in a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

2.14. Critical Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements under the K-GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported therein including revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, contingent liabilities, and measurement of carrying value of assets, trade receivables, and inventories. As a result of the uncertainties inherent in estimates and assumptions, a change in an accounting estimate may give rise to significant changes in assets and liabilities in the future.

2.15. Approval of Financial Statements

The financial statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2010, which are expected to be submitted to General Shareholders’ Meeting, were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on 7 March 2011. However, the financial statements submitted to General Shareholders’ Meeting may be amended and finally approved by General Shareholders’ Meeting.

2.16. Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards:

The Company will adopt the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) from the fiscal year 2011 as adopted by Republic of Korea (“K-IFRS”). The Company’s approach to adopt K-IFRS is illustrated as follows:

(1) Preparation and implementation of IFRS adoption

The Company has formed a task force team to prepare for its transition from K-GAAP to IFRS according to the road map to Adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) in March 2007. The IFRS task force team performed a preliminary analysis and impact assessments over the Company’s current accounting policies, financial reporting processes, including the determination of the reporting entity, and the IT systems to identify key areas that would be impacted by the transition to K-IFRS. After initial analysis, the Company conducted employee training, applied and embedded the changes identified above in the Company’s operational processes and system. As of the date of the report, all three phases as described above were substantially completed. The Company has been preparing financial statements under K-IFRS from the date of transition and onwards and expects that financial information for the fiscal year 2011 will be compliant with K-IFRS.

  1. Review Report on Internal Accounting Control System

  2. Assessment on the Operating Status by Internal Accounting Controller

Report of Independent Accountants’ Review of Internal Accounting Control System

10 March 2011

To Representative Director of NITGEN&COMPANY Co., Ltd.

We have reviewed the accompanying management’s report on the operations of the Internal Accounting Control System (“IACS”) of Nitgen & Company Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as of 31 December 2010. The Company’s management is responsible for designing and operating IACS and for its assessment of the effectiveness of IACS. Our responsibility is to review the management’s report on the operations of the IACS and issue a report based on our review. The management’s report on the operations of the IACS of the Company states that “based on its assessment of the operations of the IACS as of 31 December 2009, the Company’s IACS has been designed and is operating effectively as of 31 December 2009 in all material respects, in accordance with the IACS standards established by the Internal Accounting Control System Operations Committee (IACSOC) of the Korea Listed Companies Association.”

Our review was conducted in accordance with the IACS review standards established by the Korean Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and perform, in all material respects, the review of management’s report on the operations of the IACS to obtain a lower level of assurance than an audit. A review is to obtain an understanding of a company’s IACS and consists principally of inquiries of management and, when deemed necessary, a limited inspection of underlying documents, which is substantially less in scope than an audit. However, since the Company is a non-listed large company, the establishment and operation of the internal accounting control system, and the assessment report on the operating status thereof have been made in a significantly lessened manner than listed large companies pursuant to the provisions of Chapter V (Application to Small and Medium-Sized Companies) of the Exemplary Standard on Internal Accounting Control System. Accordingly we have conducted our review according to Article 14 (Special Exceptions to Small and Medium-Sized Companies) of the Review Standard on Internal Accounting System.

  • IIB-55 -

APPENDIX IIB FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NITGEN FOR THE YEAR 2010

A company’s IACS is a system to monitor and operate those policies and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. Because of its inherent limitations, IACS may not prevent or detect a material misstatement of the financial statements.

Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that management’s report on the operations of the IACS, referred to above, is not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the provisions of Chapter V (Application to Small and Medium-Sized Companies) of the Exemplary Standard on Internal Accounting Control System.

Our review is based on the Company’s IACS as of 31 December 2010, and we did not review management’s assessment of its IACS subsequent to 31 December 2009. This report has been prepared pursuant to the Acts on External Audit for Stock Companies in Korea and may not be appropriate for other purposes or for other users.

3. SUMMARY OF RIA BUSINESS

A. Summary of RIA business

The RIA business field is largely consisted of RIA (Rich Internet Application)-based EIS structure field by using the flex technology and security related SI (System Integration) by using the JAVA language.

RIA is the new concept of flash web page production technology that provides more dynamic and interactive web page than existing hyper text manufactured language (HTML) by integrating the flash animation technology and web server application technology. It provides the customer-oriented web page of dynamic and convenient ways not shown in existing web through single interface to link the DB and multimedia tools, such as, flash added with diverse components and flex.

In 2001, since Macro Media first displayed the flash MX production tool, it has expanded broadly around shopping mall, large customer web service, portal and others. Originally, RIA is one of the web applications that has the similar type for functions and characteristics of ordinary desktop application. MS’s remote scripting, Java of SUN, X-internet of Macro Media, AJAX and others are also referred to as RIA.

B. Characteristics of RIA

  • 1) Component library is provided to develop diverse user controls and graphic effects unable to express by HTLM.

  • 2) It provides the engine for user interface processing. It is purported to draw the graphic elements unable to draw by the browser on the screen.

  • 3) The execution code is transmitted to the client from the server. In order to reduce the server loan, the client engine executes the code to show the screen.

  • 4) Diverse devices show the same screen structure. Client in some RIA provides experience of the same interface under web as well as mobile environment.

C. Status of industry and market

In the event of the RIA business field, entire size of the last year was determined for about 20 billion won and the SW development market for 2012 is expected to be similar. However, for the difference from the other SW development field, new development platforms of HTML 5 and others may be slowed down a little. Java related SI business has most of entire development markets for the domestic business and the market is expected to be around 200 billion won for security field SI.

D. Status of the Company

There are about 5-6 RIA based SI companies and the market share rate of the Company is estimated to be around 15%. In addition, EIS (executive information system) of the head office and the BSC-based KPI solution take overwhelming position in the same industry.

There are about 20 Java-based security SI companies and the head office expects the sales of approximately 1.5 billion won by formulating close cooperative relationship with PKI-based security solution specialty companies. In addition, it expects the sales of around 1 billion won by focusing on system structure for web-based work for the public institutions.

E. Future prospect

In the event of the RIA field, the flex-based development market has been declined to move into the market with the new technology in HTLM 5, J Query and others that the head office has approached to a number of projects as well as making effort in securing the team and technology to respond to the trend.

In the event of the Java development part, the Company plans to enter into diverse fields other than security related SI field and, due to the policy to restrict major companies for entry and separate order for SW, as part of important policies of the government, SMEs, such as, the head office, are expected to have greater opportunities.

In addition, due to the technology improvement of generalization in mobile equipment, the business territory of the mobile field is growing and it is expected to provide growth engine and great opportunity to the head office with the market expansion.

Independent Auditors’ Report

The Board of Directors and Stockholders NITGEN&COMPANY CO., LTD.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of NITGEN&COMPANY Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as of 31 December 2011 and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, expressed in Korean won. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS”). Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. The accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of the Group as of and for the year ended 31 December 2010, presented for comparative purposes, were not audited.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as of 31 December 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended 31 December 2011, in accordance with K-IFRS.

Auditing standards and their application in practice vary among countries. The procedures and practices used in the Republic of Korea to audit such financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries. Accordingly, this report is for use by those who are informed about Korean auditing standards and their application in practice.

APPENDIX IIC

  • (3) Following the introduction of the K-IFRS from the annual report period commenced after 1 January 2011, the subsidiary company, RIA Soft Co., Ltd., has been included in the scope of consolidation from 1 January 2010, the first adoption date.

  • (4) The financial statements of the subsidiary company used at the time of preparing the consolidated financial statements used the financial statements with audit applied for the K-IFRS of the same report period with the report period of the Company

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(1) Basis of Preparation

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the Republic of Korea (“K-IFRS”). These are the standards, subsequent amendments and related interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) that have been adopted by the Republic of Korea. The accompanying financial statements and notes have been condensed, restructured and translated into English from the Korean language financial statements.

These are the Group’s first consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with K-IFRS and K- IFRS No. 1101 First-time Adoption of Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS No. 1101”) has been applied. The Group’s date of transition to K-IFRS is 1 January 2010, and the effect of the transition from Korean Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“K-GAAP”) to K-IFRS on the Group’s reported financial position and financial performance is explained in note 3.

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

Plans to sell the Subsidiary which were expected held for sale in the previous year were cancelled in the current year. In accordance with K-IFRS 1105 Non-current Assets Held For Sale and Discontinued Operations, the results of operations of the component previously presented in discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements of the previous year were reclassified and included in income from continuing operations as done in the current year.

New standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not effective for the financial year beginning 1 January 2011, and not early adopted by the Group are as follows:

  • Amendments to Korean IFRS 1019, Employee Benefits

According to the amendments to Korean IFRS 1019, Employee Benefits, use of a ‘corridor’ approach is no longer permitted, and therefore all actuarial gains and losses incurred are immediately recognized in other comprehensive income. All past service costs incurred from changes in pension plan are immediately recognized, and expected returns on interest costs and plan assets that used to be separately calculated are now changed to calculating net interest expense(income) by applying discount rate used in measuring defined benefit obligation in net defined benefit liabilities(assets). This amendment will be effective for the Group as of 1 January 2013, and the Group is assessing the impact of application of the amended Korean IFRS 1019 on its consolidated financial statements as of the report date.

– Amendments to Korean IFRS 1107, Financial Instruments: Disclosures

According to the amendment, an entity should provide the required disclosures of nature, carrying amount, risk and rewards associated with all transferred financial instruments that are not derecognized from an entity’s financial statements. In addition, an entity is required to disclose

  • IIC-30 -

APPENDIX IIC

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NITGEN FOR THE YEAR 2011

additional information related to transferred and derecognized financial instruments for any continuing involvement in transferred assets. This amendment is effective for the Group as of 1 January 2012, and The Group expects that it would not have a material impact on the Group.

– Enactment of Korean IFRS 1113, Fair value measurement

Korean IFRS1113, Fair value measurement, aims to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across Korean IFRSs. Korean IFRS1113 does not extend the use of fair value accounting but provides guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within Korean IFRSs. This amendment will be effective for the Group as of 1 January 2013, and the Group expects that it would not have a material impact on the Group.

(2) Basis of measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the matters separately mentioned on the statement of financial position.

(3) Consolidation standards

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Parent and entities (including special purpose entities) controlled by the Parent (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where an entity has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of another entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. If different accounting policies are used by a company which forms a consolidated entity on equivalent transactions and cases under similar circumstances other than the accounting policy adopted by the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements are appropriately revised to prepare the consolidated financial statements.

All intra-Company transactions, balances, income and expenses, unrealized profit etc. are eliminated in full upon consolidation. Amongst the subsidiary’s net assets, uncontrolled shares are included as capital or equity in the consolidated financial statements but disclosed separately from the controlling company’s equity ownership. The book value of uncontrolled shares is the initial recognized amount upon acquisition which reflects the proportion of uncontrolled shares following equity changes. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

Changes in the Parent’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Parent losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Parent’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Parent.

When the Parent loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. When assets of the subsidiary are carried at revalued amounts or fair values and the related cumulative gain or loss has been recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are accounted for as if the Parent had directly disposed of the relevant assets (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings). The fair value of any investment retained in the former

  • IIC-31 -

APPENDIX IIC

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NITGEN FOR THE YEAR 2011

subsidiary at the date when control is lost is recognized as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under K-IFRS 1039 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associates or joint ventures.

(4) Business Combination

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Company, liabilities incurred by the Company to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Company in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisitionrelated costs are generally recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

When a business combination is achieved in stages, the Company’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e. the date when the Company obtains control) and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognized in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of.

(5) Revenue Recognition

(a) Sale of goods

Consolidated entities recognize revenue from the sale of goods when the important risk and rewards following possession of the goods are transferred to the purchaser, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, and it is highly probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company.

(b) Rendering of services

Consolidated entities recognize revenue from contracts to render service when the amount of revenue following the stages of completion can be measured reliably and when it is highly probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company.

(c) Dividend Income and Interest Income

Dividend income from investments is recognized when the Company’s right to received payment has been established. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.

(d) Construction Contracts

Where the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting period, measured based on the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date relative to the estimated total contract costs, except where this would not be representative of the stage of completion. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent that the amount can be measured reliably and its receipt is considered probable.

Where the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable. Contract costs are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognized as an expense immediately.

(6) Foreign currencies

The individual financial statements of each entity are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency).

In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of items or on translating monetary items are recognized in net income in the period in which they arise with some exceptions.

For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations are expressed in Korean won using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity. On the disposal of a foreign operation, all of the accumulated exchange differences in respect of that operation attributable to the Company are reclassified to net income.

Exchange differences which are recognized in profit or loss is classified as the other operating income(expense) or financial income(expense) in accordance with the transaction or nature of the case arising for relevant foreign exchange income.

(7) Use of estimates and judgments

We have prepared our consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts in our consolidated financial statements. Our estimates and judgments are based on historical experience, forecasted future events and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and judgments may differ under different assumptions or conditions. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Major categories of the financial statements influencing important influence for accounting estimates and judgments are inventories, investment on affiliated companies, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, provision for estimated Liabilities, and deferred income taxes.

(8) Operating segment

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. All operating segments’ operating results are reviewed regularly by the Group’s ceo to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. Geographical segment is a component of an entity that provides products and services within a particular economic environment, that is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of components operating in other economic environments.

(9) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value with original maturities of less than three months.

APPENDIX IIC

(10) Non-derivative financial assets

The Group recognizes and measures non-derivative financial assets by the following four categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. The Group recognizes financial assets in the consolidated statement of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Separate assets or liabilities are recognized if any rights and obligations are created or retained in the transfer.

Upon initial recognition, non-derivative financial assets are measured at their fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the asset’s acquisition or issuance.

(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

A financial asset is classified as financial assets are classified at fair value through profit or loss if it is held for trading or is designated as such upon initial recognition. Upon initial recognition, transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss when incurred. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss.

(b) Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity that an entity has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity other than the bellows

  • those that the entity upon initial recognition designates as at fair value through profit or loss;

  • those that the entity designates as available for sale; and

  • those that meet the definition of loans and receivables.

(c) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method except for loans and receivables of which the effect of discounting is immaterial.

(d) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-tomaturity investments or loans and receivables. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value, which changes in fair value, net of any tax effect, recorded in other comprehensive income in equity. Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured and derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity instruments are measured at cost. When a financial asset is derecognized or impairment losses are recognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss. Dividends on an available-forsale equity instrument are recognized in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive payment is established.

  • IIC-34 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NITGEN FOR THE YEAR 2011

APPENDIX IIC

(11) Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or a group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade and bills receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments and changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of its estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The Group can recognize impairment losses directly or establish a provision to cover impairment losses. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the previously recognized impairment loss shall be reversed either directly or by adjusting an allowance account.

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has occurred on an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value because its fair value cannot be reliably measured, or on a derivative asset that is linked to and must be settled by delivery of such an unquoted equity instrument, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial asset and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment losses shall not be reversed.

When a decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset has been recognized in other comprehensive income and there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, the cumulative loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income shall be reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment even though the financial asset has not been derecognized. Impairment losses recognized in profit or loss for an investment in an equity instrument classified as available-for-sale shall not be reversed through profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available-for-sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in profit or loss, the impairment loss shall be reversed, with the amount of the reversal recognized in profit or loss.

(12) Derecognition of financial instruments

A financial asset shall be derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or the Group transfer the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. If most of the risks and rewards which follow in possessing financial assets have not been retained nor transferred, the Group should: i) dispose the financial asset if it currently does not control the financial asset; or ii) continuously recognize the transferred assets until the assets are of concern as well as recognize the related liabilities if the Company continues to control the financial asset.

If the Group transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of financial assets but retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets, the financial assets shall continue to be recognized while the proceeds received from the disposal of financial assets shall be recognized as liabilities.

  • IIC-35 -

APPENDIX IIC FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NITGEN FOR THE YEAR 2011

The Company has a legal right to offset the financial assets and liabilities. The assets and liabilities can be offset only when they are settled based on the net method or there is an intention to settle the liabilities simultaneously to realizing the asset.

(13) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average method principle, and includes expenditures for acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. The net realizable value (hereinafter ‘NRV’) is measured by deducting the estimated additional cost to completion and selling expenses from the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business. The evaluation losses arising from the decrease in the inventory asset NRV below the book value or obsolescence losses arising under normal circumstances shall be added to the cost of sales while the evaluation losses shall be disclosed in the inventory asset-contra account.

(14) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost and after initial recognition, are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of property, plant and equipment includes expenditures arising directly from the construction or acquisition of the asset, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management and the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.

Subsequent costs are recognized in the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment at cost or, if appropriate, as separate items if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. The costs of the day-to-day servicing are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the difference between their cost and their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Useful lives (years)
Buildings 40
Other property, plant and equipment 5

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each reporting date and adjusted, if appropriate. The change is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.

The carrying amount of an item of property and equipment is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property and equipment is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item, and is included in net income when the item is derecognized.

(15) Intangible assets

(a) Goodwill

Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is recognized as an asset as established at the date of acquisition of the business. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the Company’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, net of the

  • IIC-36 -

APPENDIX IIC

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NITGEN FOR THE YEAR 2011

acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the Company’s previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognized immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.

Consolidated entities do not amortize goodwill but rather the goodwill is assessed for impairment testing at least once a year. For impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units (or groups of cash-generating units) of the Company that were expected, at the date of acquisition, to benefit from the synergies of the combination giving rise to the goodwill. A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is indication that the unit may be impaired.

If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit on a pro-rata basis based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods. On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

(b) Research and development

Development expenditures are capitalized only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Group intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. Other development expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when they increase the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditures, including expenditures on internally generated goodwill and brands, are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

(c) Intangible assets acquired individually

Intangible assets acquired individually are measured initially at cost and, subsequently, are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization of intangible assets is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use. The depreciation method and useful life of an asset with definite useful life are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. If management judges that previous estimates should be adjusted, the change is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.

The estimated useful life used for amortizing intangible assets is as follows:

Useful lives (years)
Development costs 3~5
Industrial property rights 10
Software and Other intangible assets 5
Facility-use memberships Indefinite useful life

Facility-use memberships are recognized as intangible assets with an indefinite useful life, there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the asset is expected to generate net cash inflows for the entity.

  • IIC-37 -

APPENDIX IIC

(16) Investment property

Investment property is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. Investment property is measured initially at its cost including transaction costs incurred in acquiring the asset. After recognition as an asset, investment property is carried at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The profits or losses from the purchase, disposal, reissue, or retirement of treasury shares are not recognized as current profit or loss. If the Group acquires and retains treasury shares, the consideration paid or received is directly recognized in equity.

(17) Equity capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Transaction costs associated with the issuing of shares are deducted from additional paid-in capital(amount after deducting taxes and other expenses arising for issuing of new ordinary shares in the event that the capital increase is made), net of any related income tax benefits. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax. The profits or losses from the disposal, or retirement of treasury is directly recognized in equity, not recognized as current profit or loss.

(18) Employee benefits

Regardless of the grounds for retirement, the Group’s employees have the right to receive severance payments in a lump sum payment when their employment is terminated based on their term of service and payment rate at the retirement period.

(a) Defined Benefit Plan

The retirement benefit liability appropriated in the statement of financial position is the present value of the severance payment liabilities as at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The calculation is performed annually by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. The Group’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. The Group’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid.

All actuarial gains and losses that arise in calculating the present value of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets are recognized immediately in retained earnings and included in the statement of comprehensive income, not reclassified to income or loss thereafter.

(b) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are employee benefits that are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. When an employee has rendered service to the Group during an accounting period, the Group recognizes the undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

The Group has a legal obligation or constructive obligation to pay the employee for its historical working service and the estimated amount in distribution of profits and/or bonus shall be recognized as liabilities if the liability amount can be estimated reliably.

  • IIC-38 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NITGEN FOR THE YEAR 2011

APPENDIX IIC

(19) Share-based payment transactions

In regards to share settlement type stock grant transactions in which the Group grants shares or share options to its employees as payment for goods or services received, if the fair value of the goods or services received is unknown or cannot be reliably estimated, the fair value of the granted stock should be used as a basis to indirectly estimate the fair value of goods or services. The fair value amount shall accordingly be recognized as employee salary expense and capital during the vesting period. If the vesting conditions of the share options are vesting conditions other than service providing conditions or market conditions, the recognized employee expense is adjusted so that the actual amount of share options which is ultimately vested is used as a basis for determination.

(20) Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events and an outflow of resources required to settle the obligation is probable and can be reliably estimated.

The risks and uncertainties that inevitably surround many events and circumstances are taken into account in reaching the best estimate of a provision. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined at the present value of the expected future cash flows.

Where some or all of the expenditures required to settle a provision are expected to be reimbursed by another party, the reimbursement shall be recognized when, and only when, it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received if the Group settles the obligation. The reimbursement shall be treated as a separate asset. Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.

Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses. But, a provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are lower than the unavoidable costs of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Group recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.

(21) Non-derivative financial liabilities

The Group classifies non-derivative financial liabilities into financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or other financial liabilities in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of financial liabilities. The Group recognizes financial liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial liability. The Group derecognizes a financial liability from the consolidated statement of financial position when it is extinguished (i.e. when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires).

The Group classifies loans, account payables, and other liabilities as Non-Derivative Financial Liabilities. These non derivative financial liabilities are measured by the fair value which includes the transaction cost directly related to the acquisition upon initial recognition, followed by measurement using the amortized cost by using the effective interest method. Unless unconditional rights are held to defer the liability settlement for at least 12 months following the financial statement date, the non derivative financial liabilities shall be classified as current liabilities.

  • IIC-39 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NITGEN FOR THE YEAR 2011

APPENDIX IIC

(22) Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee liabilities are obligations by the Company to pay certain amounts to the creditor to compensate for the losses incurred following the inability for a certain debtor to pay on the payment date as per the initial or revised contract terms and conditions. The fair value less the transaction expenses directly related to the issuance are initially recognized. Following the initial recognition, financial guarantee liabilities shall be measured based on the larger amount of i) the determined amount as per Article 1037 (Provisions, Contingent Liabilities, and Contingent Assets) of the Financial Accounting Standards; and ii) the initial recognized amount less the accumulated amortized cost recognized per Article 1018 (Revenue) of the Financial Accounting Standards.

(23) Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than assets arising from inventories, deferred tax assets and non-current assets held for sale, are reviewed at the end of the reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment, are tested for impairment annually by comparing their recoverable amount to their carrying amount.

If there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, recoverable amount shall be estimated for the individual asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, The Group shall determine the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit(“CGU”) to which the asset belongs (the asset’s cash-generating unit).

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or a CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.

(24) Current and deferred income tax

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

(a) Current tax

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable profit or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. The taxable profit is different from the accounting profit for the period since the taxable profit is calculated excluding the temporary differences, which will be taxable or deductible in determining taxable profit (tax loss) of future periods, and non-taxable or non-deductible items from the accounting profit.

(b) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized, using the asset-liability method, in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. A deferred tax liability is recognized for all taxable temporary differences. A deferred tax asset is recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which they can be utilized. However, deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences: taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill, or the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting profit or loss nor taxable income.

  • IIC-40 -

APPENDIX IIC

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NITGEN FOR THE YEAR 2011

The Group recognizes a deferred tax liability for all taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates, and interests in joint ventures, except to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. The Group recognizes a deferred tax asset for all deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates, to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized.

The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduces the carrying amount to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or all of that deferred tax asset to be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to offset the related current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority and they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis.

(25) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue and dilutive potential ordinary shares. Dilutive potential ordinary shares are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share when they have a dilutive effect on the basic earnings per share of the Company

(26) Approval of Issuance of the Financial Statements

The issuance of the 31 December 2011 financial statements of the Company was approved by the Board of Directors on 8 March 2012.

3. FIRST-TIME ADOPTION OF K-IFRS

The Group’s financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea (“K-GAAP”). The Group determined to adopt International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) for the annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. These financial statements prepared in accordance with K-IFRS and K-IFRS No. 1101 First-time Adoption of Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS No. 1101”) has been applied. The Group’s date of transition to K-IFRS is 1 January 2010.

Reconciliations and descriptions of the effect of the transition from K-GAAP to K-IFRS on the financial position, financial performance, and cash flows of the Group is as follows

  • (1) The exemptions the Group adopted in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1101 First-time Adoption of K-IFRS

K-IFRS No. 1101 permits those companies adopting K-IFRS for the first time certain exemptions from the full requirements of K-IFRS in the transition period. The Group has taken the following key exemptions.

5. RISK MANAGEMENT

(1) Capital risk management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. The Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net liabilities divided by total capital. Net liabilities are calculated as total liabilities less cash and cash equivalents and other current financial instruments. Total capital is calculated as ‘equity’ as shown in the consolidated statements. The Company’s overall capital risk management strategy remains unchanged from that of the prior year.

The Group’s Net liabilities to equity ratio at the end of the reporting period were as follows:

(In thousands of Korean won, except (In thousands of Korean won, except equity ratio)

Net liabilities to equity ratio on

(2) Financial risk management

The Group is exposed to various risks related to its financial instruments, such as, Liquidity risk, credit risk, interest rate risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance. The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures. Risk management is carried out by a central treasury department under policies approved by the board of directors. Group treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the Group’s operating units. The Group’s overall financial risk management strategy remains unchanged from the prior year.

  • IIC-47 -

APPENDIX IIC

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NITGEN FOR THE YEAR 2011

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

The Group’s Finance team monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Company’s debt financing plans, covenant compliance, compliance with internal statement of financial position ratio targets and, if applicable external regulatory or legal requirements, for example, currency restrictions.

Contractually remaining expiries for non-derivative financial liabilities as of 31 December 2011 are as follows:

(in thousands of Korean won) (in thousands of Korean won)
Less than 1 More than 1

2,068,324 2,068,324

This table, based on undiscounted cash flow of the financial liabilities, has been completed based on the earliest maturity date for the Group.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers and investment securities.

The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the demographics of the Group’s customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate, as these factors may have an influence on credit risk, particularly in the currently deteriorating economic circumstances.

The Risk Management Committee has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analyzed individually for creditworthiness before the Group’s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Group’s review includes external ratings, when available, and in some cases bank references. Purchase limits are established for each customer, which represents the maximum open amount without requiring approval from the Risk Management Committee; these limits are reviewed quarterly. Customers that fail to meet the Group’s benchmark creditworthiness may transact with the Group only on a prepayment basis.

Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk through changes in interest-bearing liabilities or assets. The risk mainly arises from borrowings and financial deposits with variable interest rates linked to market interest rate changes in the future. The objective of interest rate risk management lies in maximizing corporate value by minimizing uncertainty caused by fluctuations in interest rates and minimizing net interest expense.

If interest rates on borrowings with floating rates had been 1% higher or lower with all other variables held constant, the impact on the gain or loss of the applicable period would be as follows:

Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognized assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US dollar. Management has set up a policy to require Group companies to manage their foreign exchange risk against their functional currency.

Equity Price Risk

The Company’s investments in equity of other entities that are listed or unlisted stock. As of 31 December 2011 and 31 December 2010, fair value of equity securities is respectively ~~W1~~ ,398 million and ~~W~~ 4,441 million. As of 31 December 2011 and 31 December 2010, the effects on other comprehensive income would be increased/decreased by ~~W~~ 14 million and ~~W~~ 44 million, respectively.

The Group classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in measurements.

  • üLevel 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

  • üLevel 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

  • üLevel 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

In the case of account receivables and other receivables, the approximation of the fair value is assumed as the book value. Cost is assumed as the book value for share products in which the fair value cannot be measured reliably and there is no market price notified in the active market.

Fair values of financial instruments by hierarchy level as of 31 December 2011, 31 December 2010 and 1 January 2010 are as follows:

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the date of the end of reporting period. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the bid price. These instruments are included in level 1. Instruments included in level 1 comprise listed equity investments classified as available-for-sale.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value of an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

If one or more of the significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(1) Basis of Preparation

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the Republic of Korea (“K-IFRS”). These are the standards, subsequent amendments and related interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) that have been adopted by the Republic of Korea. The accompanying financial statements and notes have been condensed, restructured and translated into English from the Korean language financial statements.

These are the Company’s first financial statements prepared in accordance with K-IFRS and K-IFRS No. 1101 First-time Adoption of Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS No. 1101”) has been applied. The Company’s date of transition to K-IFRS is 1 January 2010, and the effect of the transition from Korean Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“K-GAAP”) to K-IFRS on the Company’s reported financial position and financial performance is explained in note 3.

The financial statements are separate financial statements prepared in accordance with K-IFRS No.1027 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (“K-IFRS No. 1027”) presented by a parent, an investor in an associate or a venture in a jointly controlled entity, in which the investments are accounted for on the basis of the direct equity interest rather than on the basis of the reported results and net assets of the investees.

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

New standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not effective for the financial year beginning 1 January 2011, and not early adopted by the Company are as follows:

– Amendments to Korean IFRS 1019, Employee Benefits

According to the amendments to Korean IFRS 1019, Employee Benefits, use of a ‘corridor’ approach is no longer permitted, and therefore all actuarial gains and losses incurred are immediately recognized in other comprehensive income. All past service costs incurred from changes in pension plan are immediately recognized, and expected returns on interest costs and plan assets that used to be separately calculated are now changed to calculating net interest expense(income) by applying discount rate used in measuring defined benefit obligation in net defined benefit liabilities(assets). This

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NITGEN FOR THE YEAR 2011

amendment will be effective for the Company as of 1 January 2013, and the Company is assessing the impact of application of the amended Korean IFRS NO.1019 on its financial statements as of the report date.

Amendments to Korean IFRS 1107, Financial Instruments: Disclosures

According to the amendment, an entity should provide the required disclosures of nature, carrying amount, risk and rewards associated with all transferred financial instruments that are not derecognized from an entity’s financial statements. In addition, an entity is required to disclose additional information related to transferred and derecognized financial instruments for any continuing involvement in transferred assets. This amendment is effective for the Company as of 1 January 2012, and The Company expects that it would not have a material impact on the Company.

– Enactment of Korean IFRS 1113, Fair value measurement

Korean IFRS1113, Fair value measurement, aims to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across Korean IFRSs. Korean IFRS1113 does not extend the use of fair value accounting but provides guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within Korean IFRSs. This amendment will be effective for the Company as of 1 January 2013, and the Company expects that it would not have a material impact on the Company.

(2) Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the matters separately mentioned on the statement of financial position.

(3) Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in Korean won, which is the Company’s functional currency and the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates.

(4) Use of estimates and judgments

We have prepared our financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts in our financial statements. Our estimates and judgments are based on historical experience, forecasted future events and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and judgments may differ under different assumptions or conditions. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Major categories of the financial statements influencing important influence for accounting estimates and judgments are inventories, investment on affiliated companies, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, provision for estimated Liabilities, and deferred income taxes.

(5) Operating segment

An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company’s other components. All operating segments’ operating results are reviewed regularly by the Company’s ceo to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. Geographical segment is a component of an entity that provides products and services within a particular economic environment, that is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of components operating in other economic environments.

APPENDIX IIC

(6) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value with original maturities of less than three months.

(7) Non-derivative financial assets

The Company recognizes and measures non-derivative financial assets by the following four categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. The Company recognizes financial assets in the statement of financial position when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Separate assets or liabilities are recognized if any rights and obligations are created or retained in the transfer.

Upon initial recognition, non-derivative financial assets are measured at their fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the asset’s acquisition or issuance.

(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

A financial asset is classified as financial assets are classified at fair value through profit or loss if it is held for trading or is designated as such upon initial recognition. Upon initial recognition, transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss when incurred. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss.

(b) Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity that an entity has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity other than the bellows

  • those that the entity upon initial recognition designates as at fair value through profit or loss;

  • those that the entity designates as available for sale; and

  • those that meet the definition of loans and receivables.

(c) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method except for loans and receivables of which the effect of discounting is immaterial.

(d) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-tomaturity investments or loans and receivables. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value, which changes in fair value, net of any tax effect, recorded in other comprehensive income in equity. Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and

  • IIC-89 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NITGEN FOR THE YEAR 2011

APPENDIX IIC

whose fair value cannot be reliably measured and derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity instruments are measured at cost. When a financial asset is derecognized or impairment losses are recognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss. Dividends on an available-forsale equity instrument are recognized in profit or loss when the Company’s right to receive payment is established.

(8) Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a Company of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a Company of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or a Company of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade and bills receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Company’s past experience of collecting payments and changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of its estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The Company can recognize impairment losses directly or establish a provision to cover impairment losses. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the previously recognized impairment loss shall be reversed either directly or by adjusting an allowance account.

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has occurred on an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value because its fair value cannot be reliably measured, or on a derivative asset that is linked to and must be settled by delivery of such an unquoted equity instrument, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial asset and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment losses shall not be reversed.

When a decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset has been recognized in other comprehensive income and there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, the cumulative loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income shall be reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment even though the financial asset has not been derecognized. Impairment losses recognized in profit or loss for an investment in an equity instrument classified as available-for-sale shall not be reversed through profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available-for-sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in profit or loss, the impairment loss shall be reversed, with the amount of the reversal recognized in profit or loss.

(9) Derecognition of financial instruments

A financial asset shall be derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or the Company transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. If most of the risks and rewards which follow in possessing financial assets have not been retained nor transferred, the Company should: i) dispose the

  • IIC-90 -

APPENDIX IIC FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NITGEN FOR THE YEAR 2011

financial asset if it currently does not control the financial asset; or ii) continuously recognize the transferred assets until the assets are of concern as well as recognize the related liabilities if the Company continues to control the financial asset.

If the Company transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of financial assets but retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets, the financial assets shall continue to be recognized while the proceeds received from the disposal of financial assets shall be recognized as liabilities. The Company has a legal right to offset the financial assets and liabilities. The assets and liabilities can be offset only when they are settled based on the net method or there is an intention to settle the liabilities simultaneously to realizing the asset.

(10) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average method principle, and includes expenditures for acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. The net realizable value (hereinafter ‘NRV’) is measured by deducting the estimated additional cost to completion and selling expenses from the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business. The evaluation losses arising from the decrease in the inventory asset NRV below the book value or obsolescence losses arising under normal circumstances shall be added to the cost of sales while the evaluation losses shall be disclosed in the inventory asset-contra account.

(11) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost and after initial recognition, are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of property, plant and equipment includes expenditures arising directly from the construction or acquisition of the asset, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management and the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.

Subsequent costs are recognized in the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment at cost or, if appropriate, as separate items if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. The costs of the day-to-day servicing are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the difference between their cost and their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Useful lives (years)
Buildings 40
Other property, plant and equipment 5

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each reporting date and adjusted, if appropriate. The change is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.

The carrying amount of an item of property and equipment is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property and equipment is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item, and is included in net income when the item is derecognized.

  • IIC-91 -

APPENDIX IIC

(12) Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired individually are measured initially at cost and, subsequently, are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization of intangible assets is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use. The depreciation method and useful life of an asset with definite useful life are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. If management judges that previous estimates should be adjusted, the change is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.

The estimated useful life used for amortizing intangible assets is as follows:

Useful lives (years)
Development costs 3~5
Industrial property rights 10
Software and Other intangible assets 5
Facility-use memberships Indefinite useful life

Facility-use memberships are recognized as intangible assets with an indefinite useful life, there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the asset is expected to generate net cash inflows for the entity.

(a) Research and development

Development expenditures are capitalized only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. Other development expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when they increase the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates.

(b) Intangible assets acquired individually

Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when they increase the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditures, including expenditures on internally generated goodwill and brands, are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

(c) Goodwill

Company do not amortize goodwill but rather the goodwill is assessed for impairment testing at least once a year. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods. On disposal of the relevant cashgenerating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

(13) Investment property

Investment property is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. Investment property is measured initially at its cost including transaction costs incurred in acquiring the asset. After recognition as an asset, investment property is carried at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The profits or losses from the purchase, disposal, reissue, or retirement of treasury shares are not recognized as current profit or loss. If the Company acquires and retains treasury shares, the consideration paid or received is directly recognized in equity.

APPENDIX IIC

(14) Investments in subsidiaries and associates

These separate financial statements are prepared and presented in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1027 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. The Company applied the cost method to investments in subsidiaries and associates in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1027. The carrying amount under previous K-GAAP on the date of transition to K-IFRS is considered to be the deemed cost of investments in subsidiaries and associates on the date of transition. Dividends from a subsidiary or associate are recognized in profit or loss when the right to receive the dividend is established.

(15) Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets, or disposal Company’s comprising assets and liabilities, that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use, are classified as held for sale. The assets or disposal Company that are classified as non-current assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale or part of a disposal Company comprising of assets that are expected to be sold shall not be depreciated. If the asset’s net fair value decreases, the impairment loss from the difference shall immediately be recognized as current profits and losses. Alternatively, if the asset’s net fair value increases, the gains shall be recognized to the limit of the accumulated impairment loss recognized in accordance with K-IFRS NO. 1036 Impairment of Assets

(16) Equity capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Transaction costs associated with the issuing of shares are deducted from additional paid-in capital(amount after deducting taxes and other expenses arising for issuing of new ordinary shares in the event that the capital increase is made), net of any related income tax benefits. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax. The profits or losses from the disposal, or retirement of treasury is directly recognized in equity, not recognized as current profit or loss.

(17) Employee benefits

Regardless of the grounds for retirement, the Company’s employees have the right to receive severance payments in a lump sum payment when their employment is terminated based on their term of service and payment rate at the retirement period.

(a) Defined Benefit Plan

The retirement benefit liability appropriated in the statement of financial position is the present value of the severance payment liabilities as at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The calculation is performed annually by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. The Company’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. The Company’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid.

All actuarial gains and losses that arise in calculating the present value of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets are recognized immediately in retained earnings and included in the statement of comprehensive income, not reclassified to income or loss thereafter.

  • IIC-93 -

APPENDIX IIC

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NITGEN FOR THE YEAR 2011

(b) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are employee benefits that are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. When an employee has rendered service to the Company during an accounting period, the Company recognizes the undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

The Company has a legal obligation or constructive obligation to pay the employee for its historical working service and the estimated amount in distribution of profits and/or bonus shall be recognized as liabilities if the liability amount can be estimated reliably.

(18) Share-based payment transactions

In regards to share settlement type stock grant transactions in which the Company grants shares or share options to its employees as payment for goods or services received, if the fair value of the goods or services received is unknown or cannot be reliably estimated, the fair value of the granted stock should be used as a basis to indirectly estimate the fair value of goods or services. The fair value amount shall accordingly be recognized as employee salary expense and capital during the vesting period. If the vesting conditions of the share options are vesting conditions other than service providing conditions or market conditions, the recognized employee expense is adjusted so that the actual amount of share options which is ultimately vested is used as a basis for determination.

(19) Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events and an outflow of resources required to settle the obligation is probable and can be reliably estimated.

The risks and uncertainties that inevitably surround many events and circumstances are taken into account in reaching the best estimate of a provision. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined at the present value of the expected future cash flows.

Where some or all of the expenditures required to settle a provision are expected to be reimbursed by another party, the reimbursement shall be recognized when, and only when, it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received if the Company settles the obligation. The reimbursement shall be treated as a separate asset. Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.

Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses. But, a provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable costs of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Company recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.

(20) Non-derivative financial liabilities

The Company classifies non-derivative financial liabilities into financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or other financial liabilities in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of financial liabilities. The Company recognizes financial liabilities in the statement of financial position when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial liability. The Company derecognizes a financial liability from the statement of financial position when it is extinguished (i.e. when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires).

  • IIC-94 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NITGEN FOR THE YEAR 2011

APPENDIX IIC

The Company classifies loans, account payables, and other liabilities as Non-Derivative Financial Liabilities. These non derivative financial liabilities are measured by the fair value which includes the transaction cost directly related to the acquisition upon initial recognition, followed by measurement using the amortized cost by using the effective interest method. Unless unconditional rights are held to defer the liability settlement for at least 12 months following the financial statement date, the non derivative financial liabilities shall be classified as current liabilities.

(21) Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee liabilities are obligations by the Company to pay certain amounts to the creditor to compensate for the losses incurred following the inability for a certain debtor to pay on the payment date as per the initial or revised contract terms and conditions. The fair value less the transaction expenses directly related to the issuance are initially recognized. Following the initial recognition, financial guarantee liabilities shall be measured based on the larger amount of i) the determined amount as per Article 1037 (Provisions, Contingent Liabilities, and Contingent Assets) of the Financial Accounting Standards; and ii) the initial recognized amount less the accumulated amortized cost recognized per Article 1018 (Revenue) of the Financial Accounting Standards.

(22) Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets, other than assets arising from inventories, deferred tax assets and non-current assets held for sale, are reviewed at the end of the reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment, are tested for impairment annually by comparing their recoverable amount to their carrying amount.

If there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, recoverable amount shall be estimated for the individual asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, The Company shall determine the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs (the asset’s cash-generating unit).

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or a CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.

(23) Revenue Recognition

(a) Sale of goods

Company recognize revenue from the sale of goods when the important risk and rewards following possession of the goods are transferred to the purchaser, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, and it is highly probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company.

(b) Interest income

Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.

  • IIC-95 -

APPENDIX IIC

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NITGEN FOR THE YEAR 2011

(c) Rendering of services

Company recognize revenue from contracts to render service when the amount of revenue following the stages of completion can be measured reliably and when it is highly probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company.

(d) Construction Contracts

Where the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting period, measured based on the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date relative to the estimated total contract costs, except where this would not be representative of the stage of completion. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent that the amount can be measured reliably and its receipt is considered probable.

Where the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable. Contract costs are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognized as an expense immediately.

(24) Current and deferred income tax

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

(a) Current tax

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable profit or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. The taxable profit is different from the accounting profit for the period since the taxable profit is calculated excluding the temporary differences, which will be taxable or deductible in determining taxable profit (tax loss) of future periods, and non-taxable or non-deductible items from the accounting profit.

(b) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized, using the asset-liability method, in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. A deferred tax liability is recognized for all taxable temporary differences. A deferred tax asset is recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which they can be utilized. However, deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences: taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill, or the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting profit or loss nor taxable income.

The Company recognizes a deferred tax liability for all taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates, and interests in joint ventures, except to the extent that the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. The Company recognizes a deferred

  • IIC-96 -

APPENDIX IIC

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NITGEN FOR THE YEAR 2011

tax asset for all deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates, to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized.

The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduces the carrying amount to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or all of that deferred tax asset to be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to offset the related current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority and they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis.

(25) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue and dilutive potential ordinary shares. Dilutive potential ordinary shares are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share when they have a dilutive effect on the basic earnings per share of the Company.

3. FIRST-TIME ADOPTION OF K-IFRS

5. RISK MANAGEMENT

(1) Capital risk management

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. The Company monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net liabilities divided by total capital. Net liabilities are calculated as total liabilities less cash and cash equivalents and other current financial instruments. Total capital is calculated as ‘equity’ as shown in the statements. The Company’s overall capital risk management strategy remains unchanged from that of the prior year.

The Company’s Net liabilities to equity ratio at the end of the reporting period were as follows:

In thousands of Korean won, except equity ratio In thousands of Korean won, except equity ratio

Total equity 17,436,610 19,696,600
Net liabilities to equity ratio on 31 December

(2) Financial risk management

The Company are exposed to various risks related to its financial instruments, such as, Liquidity risk, credit risk, interest rate risk. The Company’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures. Risk management is carried out by a central treasury department under policies approved by the board of directors. Company treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the Company’s operating units. The Company’s overall financial risk management strategy remains unchanged from the prior year.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

The Company’s Finance team monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Company’s debt financing plans, covenant compliance, compliance with internal statement of financial position ratio targets and, if applicable external regulatory or legal requirements, for example, currency restrictions.

Contractually remaining expiries for non-derivative financial liabilities as of 31 December 2011 are as follows:

This table, based on undiscounted cash flow of the financial liabilities, has been completed based on the earliest maturity date for the Company.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers and investment securities.

The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the demographics of the Company’s customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate, as these factors may have an influence on credit risk, particularly in the currently deteriorating economic circumstances.

The Risk Management Committee has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analyzed individually for creditworthiness before the Company’s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Company’s review includes external ratings, when available, and in some cases bank references. Purchase limits are established for each customer, which represents the maximum open amount without requiring approval from the Risk Management Committee; these limits are reviewed quarterly. Customers that fail to meet the Company’s benchmark creditworthiness may transact with the Company only on a prepayment basis.

Book values of the financial assets represent the maximum exposed amounts of the credit risk

2,605,583 5,098,338 4,675,198

Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk through changes in interest-bearing liabilities or assets. The risk mainly arises from borrowings and financial deposits with variable interest rates linked to market interest rate changes in the future. The objective of interest rate risk management lies in maximizing corporate value by minimizing uncertainty caused by fluctuations in interest rates and minimizing net interest expense.

If interest rates on borrowings with floating rates had been 1% higher or lower with all other variables held constant, the impact on the gain or loss of the applicable period would be as follows:

Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognized assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US dollar. Management has set up a policy to require Company companies to manage their foreign exchange risk against their functional currency.

Equity Price Risk

The Company’s investments in equity of other entities that are listed or unlisted stock. As of 31 December 2011 and 31 December 2010, fair value of equity securities is respectively ~~W1~~ ,398 million and ~~W~~ 4,441 million. As of 31 December 2011 and 31 December 2010, the effects on other comprehensive income would be increased/decreased by ~~W~~ 14 million and ~~W~~ 44 million, respectively.

The Company classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in measurements.

üLevel 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

üLevel 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

  • IIC-105 -

APPENDIX IIC

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NITGEN FOR THE YEAR 2011

üLevel 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

In the case of account receivables and other receivables, the approximation of the fair value is assumed as the book value. Cost is assumed as the book value for share products in which the fair value cannot be measured reliably and there is no market price notified in the active market.

Fair values of financial instruments by hierarchy level as of 31 December 2011, 31 December 2010 and 1 January 2010 are as follows:

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the date of the end of reporting period. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry Company, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis.

  • IIC-106 -

APPENDIX IIC

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NITGEN FOR THE YEAR 2011

The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the bid price. These instruments are included in level 1. Instruments included in level 1 comprise listed equity investments classified as available-for-sale.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value of an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

If one or more of the significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

Internal Accounting Control System Review Report

Representative Director NITGEN&COMPANY CO., LTD.

We have reviewed the accompanying management’s report on the operations of the internal accounting control system (“IACS”) of NITGEN&COMPANY CO., LTD. (the “Company”) as of 31 December 2011. The Company’s management is responsible for design and operations of its IACS, including the reporting of its operations. Our responsibility is to review the management’s IACS report and issue a report based on our review. The management’s report on the operations of the IACS of the Company states that “based on its assessment of the operations of the IACS as of 31 December 2011, the Company’s IACS has been effectively designed and has operated as of 31 December 2011, in all material respects, in accordance with the IACS standards established by the IACS Operations Committee.”

We conducted our review in accordance with the IACS review standards established by the Korean Institute of Certified Public Accountants. These standards require that we plan and perform our review to obtain less assurance than an audit as to management’s report on the operations of the IACS. A review includes the procedures of obtaining an understanding of the IACS, inquiring as to management’s report on the operations of the IACS and performing a review of related documentation within limited scope, if necessary. However, as a listed small and medium sized company, the establishment and operation of the management’s internal accounting management system and the evaluation reporting on the system’s operation status were performed in a noticeably modified method compared to listed large companies in accordance to Article 5 ‘Application of Small and Medium Size Companies’ of IACS. Accordingly, we conducted our review based on 14. Review exemptions on Small and Medium Sized companies etc of the IACS standards.

A company’s IACS consists of an establishment of related policies and organization to ensure that it is designed to provide reasonable assurance on the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external financial reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. However, because of its inherent limitations, the IACS may not prevent or detect material misstatements of the financial statements. Also, projections of any assessment of the IACS on future periods are subject to the risk that IACS may become inadequate due to the changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may be significantly reduced.

Based on our review of the management’s report on the operations of the IACS, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the management’s report referred to above is not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the IACS standards.

We conducted our review of the IACS in existence as of 31 December 2011, and we did not review the IACS subsequent to 31 December 2011. This report has been prepared for Korean regulatory purposes pursuant to the Act on External Audit for Joint-Stock Companies, and may not be appropriate for other purposes or for other users.

The structure and characteristics of the product users of the Company follow the characteristics of finished product and applied SW distribution industry for the finger scan system and characteristics of SW license industry and components for finger scan solution.

l Changing factors of demand

Factors to change the demand of the Company’s product may be divided into the external factors in change of bio-scan market and change of security market and the internal factors following the product and sales undertaking of the Company. First of all, the bio-scan market environment is expected to continuously grow under the price and technology in future. From the old days, there are consensus on the efficacy and need of the bio-scan products, but high price and immature technology have been the obstacles. However, after 2000, significant interest and investment on bio-scan industry have brought higher level upgrading in overall bioscan technology for certain leading companies, including the Company, and the market is evaluated at the level with technology no longer an issue to hinder further market expansion.

With the improvement of the finger scan algorithm as well as the advancement of finger print sensor related technology and capability improvement of CPU, such technical maturity is expected to be even higher in the future. In the aspect of price, the finger scan related part price has been lowered for 50% or more in recent several years. In fact, the finger print sensor, one of the key hardware to structure the finger scan solution as the core component of the finger scan product was USD50 or more by the early times of 2000, but it is in the range of USD15~30 and in the event of the semiconductor method of finger print sensor applied in laptop computer, mobile phone and others have come to the USD5 range. CPU that carries out the finger scan computation has been approximately 4-5 times lower compared to the same capability in the recent several years. Such advancement in technology and price decline would lead to the market expansion and the demand for finger scan solution and system products of the Company would be influenced as well. Demand for the finger scan product of the Company is related to the expansion or slow down of security market as the representative application field. The September 11 Terror incident of the US has brought sense of alarm on security throughout the world, including the US, and it has brought remarkable advancement in video

– Amendments to Korean IFRS 1019, Employee Benefits

However, the Company has reclassified some of the comparatively-presented accounts of the prior period for convenience of comparison with the semiannual financial statements of 2012. Such reclassification does not affect the Net Profit or the net assets reported in the prior period.

(3) Non-preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements

According to Article 23 of Supplementary Provisions No. 20947 of the Enforcement Decree of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Market Act.

The Company is required to prepare both the consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements for the annual financial statement.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

As a result of the uncertainties inherent in estimates and assumptions, a change in an accounting estimate may give rise to significant changes in assets and liabilities in the future.

During the prior period. the level of the fair value hierarchy for all of held-to-maturity securities and investment securities in cooperatives has been changed from Level 3 to Level 1 during the prior period.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1. Instruments included in level 1 comprise primarily listed equity investments classified as trading securities or available-forsale.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The Company uses various valuation techniques and establishes assumptions based on the market conditions at the balance sheet date. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

Notes:

  1. The balances are extracted from the audited consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2012 included in the published annual report of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2012.

  2. The adjustment represents the consideration payable for the Subscription Shares of KRW7,922,599,556 (equivalent to approximately HK$54,264,381) pursuant to the Subscription Agreement.

As at the date of this Circular, the Group holds 7,179,925 shares which represent 20.28% shareholding in Nitgen (details of which were disclosed in the Company’s discloseable transaction announcement dated 10 May 2012). The Group paid cash consideration of KRW13 billion (equivalent to approximately HK$88,577,026) for acquiring these shares which was completed subsequent to 31 March 2012. The effect of acquiring these shares, resulting from which the Group’s investments in associates and cash and bank balances have been increased and decreased by approximately HK$88,577,026 respectively, has not been included in the above unaudited pro forma financial information.

  1. The adjustment is to reflect the settlement of directly attributable transaction costs. This comprises legal and other professional expenses.

  2. The adjustment represents the consideration payable for the Investment Shares of KRW3,876 million (equivalent to approximately HK$26,547,945) pursuant to the Investment Agreement.

  3. The adjustment represents the consideration payable for the NCC Bonds of US$7,425,373 (equivalent to approximately HK$57,695,148) pursuant to the Investment Agreement.

According to the Group’s accounting policies, the Group shall measure the loan portion of the NCC Bonds at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The conversion right attached in the NCC Bonds shall be separately accounted for as a derivative and measured at fair value and classified as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss.

For the purpose of this Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the amortised cost of the loan portion of the NCC Bonds is determined by assuming the effective interest rate of 23.074%. The basis of the effective interest rate is determined by the directors with reference to the discounted rate suggested by an independent valuer in assessing the loan portion of the NCC Bonds which sum up the risk free rate of 2.820%, credit spread of 18.974% and country risk of 1.280%. The value of the conversion right is measured at the difference of the fair value of the NCC Bonds and the fair value of the loan portion.

The Group will determine the amortised cost of the loan portion of the NCC Bonds and the fair value of the conversion right attached in the NCC Bonds upon Completion. Since the effective interest rate at the Completion may be different from the effective interest rate used in the preparation of this Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the final amounts of the amortised cost of the loan portion and the fair value of the conversion right may be different from the amounts stated herein.

  1. The adjustment represents the consideration receivable from disposal of 35% interest in Success Pillar pursuant to the Disposal Agreement.

As at the date of this Circular, the Group holds 262,500 shares which represent 35% shareholding in Success Pillar. The Group paid cash consideration of HK$2,042,250 for acquiring these shares which was completed subsequent to 31 March 2012. The effect of acquiring these shares, resulting from which the Group’s investments in associates and cash and bank balances have been increased and decreased by approximately HK$2,042,250 respectively, has not been included in the above unaudited pro forma financial information.
