Report of Independent Auditors

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

GRAVITY CO., LTD.

We have audited the accompanying non-consolidated statements of financial position of GRAVITY CO., LTD. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related non-consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, expressed in Korean won. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 non-consolidated 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 statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the non-consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the non-consolidated financial position of GRAVITY CO., LTD. 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.

Basis of Presentation

The 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.

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.

Foreign Currency Translation

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the 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 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 statement of income, except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges or available-for-sale debt securities.

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 other comprehensive income.

Currency Translation for Foreign Operations

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries or associates subject to the equity method of accounting for investments are translated into Korean won at the exchange rate prevailing at year-end, while their equity is translated at the exchange rate at the dates of transactions and the statement of income accounts at the average rate over the year ended. Resulting translation gains and losses are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. When the foreign operations are liquidated or sold, exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income are recognized in the income statement as part of the gain or loss on sale.

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.

Investment 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 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 statement of income, while unrealized gains and losses of available-for-sale securities are recognized under other comprehensive income and expenses. Realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are recognized in the statement 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 Company considers the necessity to recognize impairment losses. The 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 statement 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 statement 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 accumulated other comprehensive income and expenses.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The 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 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 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 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 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 Company’s equity- method investments at the moment the dividend payment is declared.

Except when the 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 Company applies for like transactions and events with similar circumstances, adjustments are made to conform the investee’s accounting policies to those of the Company when the investee’s financial statements are used by the Company in applying the equity method.

In case the investee is also a subsidiary of the Company, net income and net assets of the investee in its non-consolidated financial statements should be equal to the corresponding share of the 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 at acquisition cost, net of accumulated depreciation calculated based on the straight-line method and following estimated useful lives:

 

     Estimated Useful Lives  

Computers and other equipment

     4    years   

Vehicles

     4    years   

Furniture and fixtures

     4    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 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 statement 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   

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 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 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.

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 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

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

Revenue Recognition

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

The 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 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 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 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 Company remeasures 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 statement 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 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 Company applies the financing costs which are reasonably estimated using the distribution rate of corporate bonds, reflecting the 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.

Approval of Non-Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company’s non-consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on March 5, 2012.

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 W 213,345 thousand at year-end.

2 

In 2011, Gravity EU SAS issued new shares to new investors and the Company. Due to a dilution of the Company’s interest in Gravity EU SAS, the Company recognized gain on disposal of equity-method investments for the amount of W311,085 thousand. The 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.

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.

5 

Other increase (decrease) are consisted of changes in accumulated other comprehensive income, which is accounted for using the equity method and impairment losses on equity investments.

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

16. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

The Company has exclusive contracts with its licensees, such as the foreign subsidiaries, GungHo Entertainment, inc., Soft-World International Corporation and Level up! Interactive S.A., etc, to distribute and sell online games and earns 20% to 40% of sales from the online games.

In 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with Naru Entertainment Co., Ltd. to acquire publishing right of the game in process of being developed by Naru Entertainment Co., Ltd. in Republic of Korea. In 2010, however, the Company and Naru Entertainment Co., Ltd. have entered into W1,300,000 thousand loan agreement and terminated the publishing agreement. In 2011, the Company amended the loan agreement with Naru so that W300,000 thousand of the loan should be paid by Naru in 2012 from a funding provided by a third party, and the rest of the loan, amounting to W1,000,000 thousand, and its accrued interest at 8% annually will be paid by revenue sharing payments in future. The Company provided bad debt reserve of W1,000,000 thousand as its collectability is questionable.

Litigation

As of December 31, 2011, there are four pending domestic litigations in which the Company is a defendant including compensation for damages claimed by the Company’s former executives, and the total claims have amounted to approximately W2,989,000 thousand. The timing, the amount of outflow of economic benefits, the final outcome of the litigations and their impact on the Company’s financial statements cannot be reasonably estimated as of the audit report date. As for the litigation regarding return of capital to the subsidiaries, W2,149,770 thousand and W1,989,884 thousand are held as deposits due to the court orders from Seoul Southern District Court and Seoul Western District Court, respectively.

To determine the realizability of deferred tax assets, all available positive and negative evidences are considered, including the Company’s performance, the market environment in which the 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. For the year ended December 31, 2010, full valuation allowance was provided. However, in 2011, based upon the level of historical taxable income and the future taxable income under the Company’s business plan over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believed it is more likely than not that some portion of deferred tax assets related to temporary differences and tax credit carryforwards is realizable.

Report of Independent Accountants’

Review of Internal Accounting Control System

To the President of

GRAVITY CO., LTD.

We have reviewed the accompanying management’s report on the operations of the Internal Accounting Control System (“IACS”) of GRAVITY CO., LTD. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011. 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 December 31, 2011, no material weaknesses are identified as of December 31, 2011, 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, in accordance with Chapter 5, Application for small- and medium-sized companies of the IACS standards, the design, operation and assessment of its IACS are limited compared with those of public large-sized companies as the Company is a non-public large-sized company (or a public small and medium-sized company). As such, we performed our review in accordance with Chapter 14, Review standards for small- and medium-sized companies.

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 Chapter 5, Application for small- and medium-sized companies, of the IACS standards established by IACSOC.

Our review is based on the Company’s IACS as of December 31, 2011, and we did not review management’s assessment of its IACS subsequent to December 31, 2011. 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.

Report on the Operations of the Internal Accounting Control System

To the Board of Directors and Audit Committee of

GRAVITY CO., LTD.

I, as the Internal Accounting Control Officer (“IACO”) of GRAVITY CO., LTD. (“the Company”), assessed the status of the design and operations of the Company’s internal accounting control system (“IACS”) for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The Company’s management including IACO is responsible for designing and operating IACS. I, as the IACO, assessed whether the IACS has been effectively designed and is operating to prevent and detect any error or fraud which may cause any misstatement of the financial statements, for the purpose of establishing the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes. I, as the IACO, applied Chapter 5, Application to small- and medium-sized companies, of the IACS standards for the assessment of design and operations of the IACS.

Based on the assessment on the operation of the IACS, no material weakness has been identified as of December 31, 2011, in all material respect, in accordance with the IACS standards.
