Report of Independent Auditors

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

GRAVITY CO., LTD.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of GRAVITY CO., LTD. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Consolidated Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, expressed in Korean won. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statements presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of GRAVITY CO., LTD. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and its financial performance and cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Non-Public Entities in the Republic of Korea.

 

Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers is the Korean member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers. PricewaterhouseCoopers refers to the network of member firms of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited, each of which is a separate and independent legal entity.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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 years presented, unless otherwise stated. Certain prior year’s accounts, presented herein for comprehensive purpose, have been reclassified to conform to current year’s presentation within the financial statements. Such reclassification does not impact the net income or net assets reported in the prior year.

Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated Company’s financial statements for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2011, have been prepared in accordance with Korean Accounting Standards for Non-Public entities (“KAS-NPEs”), which apply to those companies which are subject to the Act on External Audit of Stock Companies but do not prepare their financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the Republic of Korea (“Korean IFRS”). In accordance with the ‘Effective date and transition provisions’ of KAS-NPEs, which provide relief from full retrospective application of these standards that would require restatement of all transactions recognized under the previous accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea (“the previous K-GAAP”), KAS-NPEs have been applied prospectively from the transition date.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Consolidated Company in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

Changes of Accounting Policies

Changes in accounting policies as the Company adopts KAS-NPEs are as follows:

Impairment of assets

If there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, recoverable amount is estimated for the individual asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs is determined.

Accounting Treatment for Business Combination

The Consolidated Company applies the acquisition method to account for business combination and accounts acquisition-related costs as expenses when incurred. The consideration paid for the acquisition is measured at the aggregate of fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities assumed or recognized and the equity securities issued by the Consolidated Company. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any assets or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities arising from business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Consolidated Company measures non-controlling interest that provides proportionate share in the event of liquidation at proportionate interest of the acquiree’s net assets. Other non-controlling interest is measured at its fair value unless another measurement method is required KAS-NPEs.

In a business combination achieved in stages, the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Changes are recognized in the income statements.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Consolidated Company is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. The amount of the contingent consideration is classified as liabilities or equity in accordance KAS-NPEs No. 6, Financial Asset and liabilities, and KAS-NPEs No. 15 Equity.

The Consolidated Company recognizes a gain from a bargain purchases as the excess of (a) over (b) below.

a) The identifiable net asset

b) The fair value at the acquisition date of aggregate of non-controlling interest in the acquiree, the consideration transferred and the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree in the income statement.

The Consolidated Company recognizes goodwill as the excess of (b) over (a) and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method.

Basis of Presentation for Consolidated Financial Statements

The Consolidated Company prepares consolidated financial statements in conformity with KAS-NPEs No. 4 Consolidated Financial Statements.

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which is the Consolidated Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Consolidated Company controls another entity.

However, companies that meet the applicable scale as prescribed in Paragraph (1) of Article 6 of the Regulation of External Audit and Accounting are deconsolidated.

Elimination of Investment and Capital Accounts

In preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the investment of the Company is offset and eliminated against the capital accounts of the Consolidated Subsidiaries based on closing date closest to the acquisition of the subsidiary.

Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010

 

Accounting Treatment of Investment in Excess of Book Value of the Investee

To eliminate the investment account of the controlling company and corresponding capital accounts of the subsidiary, the Company records differences between the initial investment accounts and corresponding capital accounts of subsidiary as goodwill or negative goodwill, which is amortized over 20 years, using the straight-line method. However, any investment in excess of the book value of the investee created as result of subsequent acquisition of shares from minority shareholders is recorded as reduction of consolidated capital surplus rather than goodwill. If there is no consolidated capital surplus available, the amount is recorded as capital adjustment. Furthermore, any subsequent changes in the investment in excess of book value of the investee as result of the subsidiary’s issuance of new shares, share dividends, and etc. are also recorded as adjustment to capital surplus.

Consolidated Capital Surplus, Consolidated Capital Adjustment, Consolidated Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Retained Earnings

Adjustments to capital surplus, capital adjustment, accumulated other comprehensive income and retained earnings of the consolidated and non-consolidated subsidiaries of the Company subsequent to acquisition dates are recorded as adjustments to consolidated capital surplus, consolidated capital adjustment, consolidated accumulated other comprehensive income and consolidated retained earnings, respectively.

Unrealized Profits and Losses

Unrealized profits and losses included in inventories, property, plant and equipment and other assets are calculated based on the average gross margin of the respective year.

Unrealized profits and losses included in inventories, property, plant and equipment and other assets, as a result of intercompany transactions, are eliminated. Unrealized profit, arising from sales by the controlling company to consolidated subsidiaries is fully eliminated and charged to the equity of the controlling company. Unrealized profit, arising from sales by the consolidated subsidiaries to the controlling company is fully eliminated, and charged to the equity of the controlling company and minority interest, based on the percentage of ownership.

Fiscal Year End of Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries follow the same fiscal year end. Differences in accounting policy between the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are adjusted during consolidation.

Foreign Currency Translation

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the Consolidated Company’s financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The financial statements are presented in Korean won, which is the Consolidated Company’s functional and presentation currency.

Foreign Currency transactions and translations

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at each reporting date of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the consolidated statements of income, except when deferred in consolidated other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges or available-for-sale debt securities.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010

 

Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities, such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss, are recognized in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets, such as equities classified as available-for-sale, are included in consolidated other comprehensive income.

Translation to presentation currency

The financial performance and financial position of companies whose financial currency is different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

 

   

Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate as of the reporting date.

 

   

Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and

 

   

All resulting exchange differences are recognized in consolidated other comprehensive income.

Exchange differences arising from borrowings designated for hedging the investment and other currency instruments are recognized in consolidated other comprehensive income. When the foreign operations are wholly or partially sold, exchange differences recognized in consolidated other comprehensive income are recognized in the income statements as part of the gain or loss on sale.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks, and financial instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. These financial instruments are readily convertible into cash without significant transaction costs and bear low risks from changes in value due to interest rate fluctuations.

Investments in Securities

Costs of securities are determined using the moving average method. Investments in equity securities or debt securities are classified into trading securities, available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities, depending on the acquisition and holding purpose. Investments in equity securities of companies, over which the Consolidated Company exercises a significant control or influence, are recorded using the equity method of accounting. Trading securities are classified as current assets while available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities are classified as long-term investments.

Held-to-maturity securities are measured at amortized cost while available-for-sale and trading securities are measured at fair value. However, non-marketable securities, classified as available- for-sale securities, are carried at cost when the fair values are not readily determinable.

Gains and losses related to trading securities are recognized in the consolidated statements of income, while unrealized gains and losses of available-for-sale securities are recognized under consolidated other comprehensive income and expense. Realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are recognized in the consolidated statements of income.

In case that the estimated amount recoverable from the securities (“recoverable amount”) is less than the amortized cost of the debt security or the acquisition cost of the equity security, the Consolidated Company considers the necessity to recognize impairment losses. The Consolidated Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence for impairment. If there is objective evidence for impairment, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, the recoverable amount is estimated and impairment losses are recognized in profit and losses.

If, in a subsequent period, the reversal of impairment loss can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, the impairment loss is reversed through the consolidated statements of income for held-to-maturity securities and available-for-sale securities valued at cost, and the revised book value does not exceed the amortized cost (acquisition cost for available-for-sale securities) that would have been recorded without the impairment. The reversal for available-for-sale securities measured at fair value is recognized in the profit and losses only to the extent of the amount recognized as impairment losses.

Derivatives

All derivative instruments are accounted for at their fair value according to the rights and obligations associated with the related derivative contracts. The resulting changes in fair value of derivative instruments are recognized either under the consolidated statements of income or shareholders’ equity, depending on whether the derivative instruments qualify as a cash flow hedge. Fair value hedge accounting is applied to a derivative instrument purchased with the purpose of hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or a firm commitment that is attributable to a particular risk. The resulting changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recognized under the shareholders’ equity under consolidated accumulated other comprehensive income and expenses.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Consolidated Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts and notes receivable. Allowances are calculated based on the estimates made through a reasonable and objective method. Bad debts expense is recorded as the difference between the estimated loss on doubtful accounts and the balance of allowance for doubtful accounts, if the estimated loss on doubtful accounts is larger than the balance of the allowance. Bad debts expense for notes receivable from commercial transactions is accounted for as selling and administrative expenses, while bad debts expense from other receivables is accounted for as non-operating expense. Uncollectible receivables are offset against allowance for doubtful accounts and in case of insufficient amount of allowance, bad debts expense is recognized.

Inventories

The quantities of inventories are determined using the perpetual method and periodic inventory count, while the costs of inventories are determined using the weighted average method. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses. If, however, the circumstances which caused the valuation loss cease to exist, causing the market value to rise above the carrying amount, the valuation loss is reversed limited to the original carrying amount before valuation. The said reversal is a deduction from cost of sales.

Equity Method Investments

The Consolidated Company reflects any changes in the book value of its equity-method investments on which it has significant influence after the initial purchase date. Under the equity method, the Consolidated Company records changes in its proportionate ownership in the book value of the investee in current operations, as capital adjustments or as adjustments to retained earnings, depending on the nature of the underlying change in the book value of the investee. Changes in the Consolidate Company’s proportionate ownership in the book value of the investee incurred by major error corrections to the investee’s retained earnings are recognized in the profit and losses if there is no significant effect to the Consolidated Company’s financial statements. All other changes in equity are accounted for under other comprehensive income and expenses (changes in equity due to equity-method investments). Dividends paid by the investee to the Company are directly deducted from the Consolidate Company’s equity-method investments at the moment the dividend payment is declared.

Except when the Consolidated Company or its investee applies the KAS-NPEs No. 31, Special provisions for Small and Medium-sized Companies, or when an investee prepares its financial statements in accordance with Korean IFRS, which are different from the accounting policies the Consolidated Company applies for like transactions and events with similar circumstances, adjustments are made to conform the investee’s accounting policies to those of the Consolidated Company when the investee’s financial statements are used by the Consolidated Company in applying the equity method.

In case the investee is also a subsidiary of the Consolidated Company, net income and net assets of the investee in its consolidated financial statements should be equal to the corresponding share of the Consolidated Company presented in the consolidated financial statements, unless the equity method of accounting has been discontinued on the said investee.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, which includes acquisition cost, production cost and other costs required to prepare the asset for its intended use. It also includes the present value of the estimated cost of dismantling and removing the asset, and restoring the site after the termination of the asset’s useful life, provided it meets the criteria for recognition of provisions.

Property and equipment are stated net of accumulated depreciation calculated based on the straight-line method and following estimated useful lives:

 

     Estimated Useful Lives  

Computers and other equipment

     4 ~ 5 years   

Vehicles

     4 years   

Furniture and fixtures

     4 ~ 5 years   

Leasehold improvements

     4 years   

Expenditures incurred after the acquisition or completion of assets are capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Consolidated Company, which includes the enhancement of the value of the related assets over their recently appraised value or extension of the useful life of the related assets, and the fair value for the related cost can be reliably measured. All other routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Operating Leases

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the consolidated statements of income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost, which includes acquisition cost, production cost and other costs required to prepare the asset for its intended use. Intangible assets are stated net of accumulated amortization calculated based on using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

 

     Estimated Useful Lives  

Development costs

     2 ~ 5 years   

Software

     3 years   

Other intangible assets

     2 ~ 10 years   

Goodwill

     5 years   

Ordinary research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs and acquisition costs for rights to distribute online games directly relating to a new technology or new products with probable future benefits are capitalized as intangible assets. Amortization of development costs is computed using the straight-line method over two to five years from the commencement of the commercial production of the related products or use of the related technology. Such costs are subject to periodic assessment for recoverability. In the event that such amounts are determined to be not recoverable, they are either written down or written off.

Government Grants

Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Consolidated Company will comply with the conditions attached to it and that the grants will be received.

Government grants related to assets, including non-monetary grants at fair value, are accounted for by deducting the grant in arriving at the carrying amount of the asset. The grant is recognized in profit or loss over the life of depreciation asset, as a reduced depreciation expense, and the remaining balance upon disposal is recognized in gain or loss on disposal.

When government grants are paid to compensate specific expenses, they are deducted in the related expenses. When there are no expenses to be deducted, they are accounted for as operating revenue if they are directly related to the Consolidated Company’s main operation activities and non-operating income if not. If specific requirements have to be met in order to use the grants related to income, grants received before meeting those requirements are accounted for as unearned revenue.

Impairment of Non-financial Assets

Intangible assets not yet available for use are tested annually for impairment. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is tested for impairment at the end of each reporting period by assessing its recoverable amount. Assets that are subject to amortization or depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment under the above circumstances and when gross estimated future cash flows expected from the use and disposal of property and equipment (individual assets or cash-generating units) is less than the carrying amount. Impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value-in-use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels (cash-generating units) for which there are separate and identifiable cash flows.

Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010

 

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination, from the acquisition date, should be allocated to each of the acquirer’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. If the recoverable amount of the unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit.

Non-financial assets, other than goodwill, that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. Reversal of impairment of goodwill is not allowed.

Provisions and Contingent Liabilities

Provisions are recognized when it is probable that an outflow of resources will occur due to a present obligation resulting from a past event, and the amount can be reliably estimated. However, when such outflow is dependent upon a future event, is not certain to occur, or cannot be reliably estimated, a disclosure regarding the contingent liability is made in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Current and Deferred Income Taxes

Income tax expenses (benefits) include the current income taxes under the relevant income tax law and the changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent temporary differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are recognized for temporary differences which will decrease future taxable income to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax effects applicable to items in the shareholders’ equity are directly reflected in the shareholders’ equity.

Defined Contribution Pension Plan and Accrued Severance Benefits

The Consolidated Company has a defined contribution pension plan with the related contribution to the pension plan recorded as severance benefit expenses.

In case of Gravity Games Corporation, the consolidated subsidiary as of December 31, 2010, employees and directors with at least one year of service are entitled to receive a lump-sum payment upon termination of their employment with the company based on their length of service and rate of pay at the time of termination. Accrued severance benefits represent the amount which would be payable assuming all eligible employees and directors were to terminate their employment as of the date of statements of financial position.

Revenue Recognition

Prepaid online game subscriptions are recognized as revenue upon their actual usage.

The Consolidated Company licenses the right to sell and distribute its games in exchange for an initial prepaid license fees and guaranteed minimum royalty payments. The prepaid license fee revenues are deferred and recognized ratably over the license period. The guaranteed minimum royalty payments are deferred and recognized as the royalties are earned. In addition, The Consolidated Company receives royalty payments based on a specified percentage of the licensees’ sales. These royalties are recognized on a monthly basis as the related revenues are earned by the licensees. Revenues from other sales are recognized when goods are transferred or by the reference to the stage of completion.

Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. When receivables are impaired, the Consolidated Company reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired receivables is recognized using the original effective interest rate.

Dividend income is recognized when the rights to receive payment is established.

Share-based Payments

For equity-settled share-based payment, the fair value of the goods or employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognized as an expense and a capital adjustment. If the fair value of goods or employee services cannot be reliably estimated, the fair value is estimated based on the fair value of the equity granted.

For cash-settled share-based payment, the fair value of the obligation the Consolidated Company will assume is determined by the fair value of the goods or employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options. Until the liability is settled, the Consolidated Company re-measures the fair value of the liability at each reporting date and at the date of settlement, with any changes in fair value recognized as an expense in the consolidate statements of income.

Share-based payment transactions with an option for the parties to choose between cash and equity settlement are accounted for based on the substance of the transaction.

Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

Initial measurement

Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at the fair value at the initial recognition. Generally, the transaction price is treated as fair value. However, if there is any significant difference between the fair value and the nominal amount of receivable and payable from long-term lending and borrowing transactions or sales transactions with long-term deferred payment conditions, total amount of receivable and payable is carried at present value using the effective interest method.

If the consideration paid (or received) includes any amount for other than financial instruments, fair value of the financial instrument is carried at the market price. When market price is not available, fair value is estimated using valuation techniques (including present value based techniques). However, although the consideration consists of the amount for other than financial instrument, the whole amount is initially recognized if a benefit in return from using the funds is imposed or there is a certain relationship between raising and using funds. Also for lease deposits, the whole transaction price is recognized at the initial recognition. Trading securities and derivatives (except when hedging accounting is applied) are subsequently measured at fair value after initial recognition, and changes in fair value are recognized in profit and loss. In case of other financial assets and liabilities, any transaction costs related to acquisition of financial assets or issuance of financial liabilities are added to or deducted from initially recognized fair value.

When measuring the present value of financial instruments, the Consolidated Company uses the internal interest rate of transactions that occurred in the current period. If internal interest rate is not available or the difference from the market interest rate is material, market interest rate is applied. If the market interest rate cannot be calculated, then the weighted average interest rate which is calculated by reasonable and objective standards is used. If reasonable and objective standards are unavailable, the Consolidated Company applies the financing costs which are reasonably estimated using the distribution rate of corporate bonds, reflecting the Consolidated Company’s credit rating.

Subsequent Measurement

Financial assets and financial liabilities other than securities, derivatives, financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, and financial guarantee contracts are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured using subsequent measurement method or trading securities.

With respect to Gravity Interactive, Inc., an equity loss incurred during the year was in excess of the remaining book value of the investment. As of December 31, 2011, the amount of change in equity unrecognized due to discontinuance of applying in equity method was W213,345 thousand at year-end.

2 

In 2011, Gravity EU SASU issued new shares to new investors and the Consolidated Company. Due to a dilution of the Consolidated Company’s interest in Gravity EU SASU, the Consolidated Company recognized gain on disposal of equity-method investments for the amount of W311,085 thousand. The Consolidated Company recaptured gain on valuation of equity-method investments of W861,085 thousand, which has been reflected in allowances for loans and accrued income, as equity-method investments fell below zero. As of December 31, 2011, Gravity EU SASU has been converted into a joint venture company, Gravity EU SAS.

3 

The remaining book value of the investment fell below zero as a prior-year loss in investment in Gravity RUS Co., LTD., was recognized, which has been accounted for using equity method. As of December 31, 2011, the amount of unrecognized due to discontinuance of applying equity-method treatment was W15,785 thousand.

4 

As the estimated recoverable amount from investment securities that are related to Gravity Games Corporation (formerly, Barunson Interactive Corporation) and accounted for using equity method, is less than the book value of the assets in 2011, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss on equity investments.

As the Consolidated Company’s ownership of Gravity EU SASU decreased from 100% to 25% in 2011, W360,497 thousand of gain on disposal of equity-method investments was realized. Gravity EU SASU was converted into a joint venture company, Gravity EU SAS, by the Consolidated Company’s reduced ownership interest in Gravity EU SASU.

2

The Consolidated Company directly reflected the income tax effect of temporary difference under an equity item in 2011. However, the Consolidated Company did not recognize income tax effect that is directly reflected to an equity item, as it was deemed uncertain that the Consolidated Company would realize deferred tax assets in 2010.

To determine the realizability of deferred tax assets, all available positive and negative evidences are considered, including the Consolidated Company’s performance, the market environment in which the Consolidated Company operates, forecasts of future profitability, the utilization period of past tax credits and other factors. Management periodically considers these factors in reaching its conclusion. In 2011, based upon the level of historical taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets were deductible, management believed it was more likely than not that some portion of deferred tax assets related to temporary differences and tax credit carryforwards is realizable.
