Table of Contents

[SK Broadband]

SK Broadband, a material consolidated subsidiary of ours, acquired subscriberships of regional cable and other service providers on several different occasions. Such acquisitions were intended to secure a stable subscriber base for our broadband Internet service and, at the same time, increase the service coverage area. Because such acquisitions were conducted on a relatively small scale and involved purchase of subscriberships, we did not believe such acquisitions rose to the level of purchasing an entire business line from another company or likely to have a material impact on our business, and therefore we believed that such acquisitions did not require resolution of our shareholders.

[SK Communications Co., Ltd.]

(1) Leak of personal information

In July 2011, a leak of personal information of subscribers of Nate and Cyworld websites operated by SK Communications Co., Ltd., the Company’s consolidated subsidiary, occurred. Two lawsuits (total claim of Won 9 million) demanding compensation for damages from the leak were filed and five payment orders (total payment amount of Won 7 million) were issued by the courts against SK Communications in connection with the leak.

The business is majorly distinguished as a wireless telecommunication business consisting of mobile phone, wireless data, information telecommunication, a fixed line telecommunication business consisting of PSTN, high speed Internet, data and network lease service etc. and other telecommunication business composing of Internet portal service, game etc.

1. Business Overview

[Wireless Business]

A. Industry Characteristics

As of March 31, 2012, the number of domestic mobile phone subscribers reached 52.71 million and, with more than 100% penetration rate, the Korean mobile communication market can be considered to have reached its maturation stage. However, the penetration rate is expected to increase further due to increased use of mobile phones by corporate users resulting from the rapid growth of smartphone markets, as well as the increasing popularity of high-tech mobile devices based on wireless data services such as tablet PC.

The Korean mobile communications market continues to improve in the quality of services with the help of advances in network-related technology and the development of highly advanced handsets including various smartphones which enable the provision of convergence services for multimedia contents, mobile commerce, telematics, satellite Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (“DMB”), digital home services, connected workforce services and other related services. In addition, through HSPA+ network commercialized in October 2010 and the LTE network introduced in July 2011, the B2B business directly resulting in the enhancement of productivity, such as the corporate “connected workforce” business, is expected to grow rapidly.

The Korean mobile communication market includes the entire population of Korea with mobile communication service needs, and almost every Korean is considered a potential user. Sales revenue related to data services is expected to increase due to the increasing popularity of smartphones and wireless Internet. Business-to-business segment that creates added values by adding additional solutions and applications is also growing. Seasonal and economic fluctuations have much less impact on the Korean mobile communication market compared to other industries.

D. Business Overview and Competitive Strengths

The Company is seeking to transform itself from a telecommunication service provider into a comprehensive information and communication technology (“ICT”) service provider. It has continued to expand the scope of its services and achieved strong growth in subscribers amid fierce competition and rate cuts. In the first quarter of 2012, on a non-consolidated basis, the Company recorded revenue of Won 3.02 trillion, operating income of Won 460 billion and net income of Won 340 billion. On a consolidated basis, the Company’s revenue increased 2.0% to Won 3.99 trillion in the first quarter of 2012 from the corresponding period of the previous year, primarily due to an increase in the number of 3G smartphone subscribers and LTE subscribers. The Company’s consolidated operating income amounted to Won 450 billion, impacted by an increase in capital expenditures due to an increase in data traffic, as well as an increase in frequency expenses.

The number of subscribers as of March 31, 2012 was 26.56 million, an increase of 3,000 from the previous quarter. In particular, the number of smartphone subscribers as of March, 31 of 2012 was 12.76 million, an increase of 7.4 million from the previous quarter, including 1.77 million LTE subscribers, solidifying the Company’s market leadership. The Company upgraded the quality of smartphone services by providing commercial LTE services, which enable streaming service of high-quality videos, high-definition video conference calls and wireless on-line gaming services. The Company also plans to enhance customer satisfaction by improving network quality.

SK Telink, a subsidiary of the Company, plans to expand its operations to the mobile virtual network operator (“MVNO”) business based on its technical expertise and know-how obtained in its international telecommunications business. SK Telink plans to launch its pre-paid MVNO service in June 2012 and post-pay service in January 2013. An MVNO leases the networks of a mobile network operator (“MNO”) and provides wireless telecommunication services under its own brand and fee structure, without owning telecommunication networks or frequencies.

[Fixed Line Business]

A. Industry Characteristics

The Korean telecommunications industry is currently characterized by the introduction of smartphones, tablet computers and other devices with enhanced mobility and the advent of cloud computing, mobile offices and other information and communications technology. In addition, mergers among fixed-line operators and wireless operators have accelerated the convergence within the telecommunications sector, creating a market structure in which groups with both fixed-line and wireless capabilities compete for greater market share to secure a more solid footing in the market. Spurred on by the introduction of various bundled products , growth in the subscriber base for IPTV services and a paradigm shift in the voice telephone market towards Internet-based telephone services, the broadband and fixed-line telecommunications market is playing a key role in the accelerated consolidation of the service providers as well as heightened competition in a growing market. The increased usage of smartphones and tablet PCs, as well as the commercialization of the fourth generation LTE network, has greatly increased the demand for wireless data transmissions, thereby putting into greater relief the importance of fixed-line networks.

We believe the transition to digital TV services will accelerate in 2012 when analog open air TV broadcast will terminate. We expect stronger competition in new services such as smart TVs and various convergence products, such as smartphones and N Screen services employing tablet computers.

C. Cyclical Nature and Seasonality

High-speed Internet, fixed-line telephone and IPTV services are generally not sensitive to cyclical economic changes. Demand for these services also does not show seasonal fluctuations.

We expect that the accelerated transition to digital TV services as a result of the termination of terrestrial analog TV broadcast, as well as the entrance of Google Inc. and Apple Inc. into the television market, would present opportunities by expanding the market size and increasing consumers’ interests. Risk factors include a competitor’s convergence service comprising both IPTV and satellite TV service, which is aimed at expanding the subscriber base.

D. Business Overview and Competitive Strengths

SK Broadband, which in 1999 became the first company in the world to commence commercial ADSL services, has strengthened its co-marketing efforts with SK Telecom. The co-marketing efforts and the enhanced competitiveness of the bundled products have resulted in expanded subscriber base across all of our businesses, including broadband Internet, telephone and IPTV. In particular, we have positioned ourselves to focus on corporate customer services as one of the key strategic areas for mid- to long-term growth, and our efforts to exploit new information and communications technology based businesses have led to revenue growth and strengthening of our competitiveness in the emerging business-to-business market.

SK Telink, a material consolidated subsidiary of ours, provides international telecommunications service. SK Telink has been able to establish itself as a market leader as a result of its affordable pricing, proactive marketing and the quality of its services. It launched a mobile phone-based international calling service under the brand name “00700” in 1998, creating a new niche market within the long-distance telephony market that was otherwise dominated by existing service providers. In 2003, SK Telink was designated a common carrier for international calling services, which allowed us to expand our international calling services to fixed-line international calling services. In addition, in 2011, we were again ranked first in the three major independent customer satisfaction surveys, including the Korea Nation Customer Satisfaction Index, after having been ranked first in 2010. The revenue from our international calling services in 2011 was Won 416.5 billion. SK Telink plans to strengthen its existing business, including international and long-distance calling services, while satisfying customers’ diverse needs for new services such as the VOIP and value-added services.

[Other Business]

A. Industry Characteristics

As the number of smartphone subscribers in Korea exceeds 23 million, 92% of total economically active population uses smartphones. The growth in smartphones and other mobile devices has made a service provider with strong platform business the leader in ICT market. Platform business acts as an intermediary among various customer groups and thereby generating new values, attracting subscribers and users and creating an ecosystem with certain lock-in effects. A platform can exist in various forms, including technological standard (iOS, Android OS), subscriber-based service platforms (Facebook, Twitter) or a marketplace (Amazon, T store). Platform business is evolving and expanding globally.

Platform business has strong growth potential due to its connectivity with related services and ease of global expansion. Apple has become the world’s leading smartphone producer based on its innovative design and the competitive strength of its AppStore platform. Google has created a new ecosystem of long-tail advertisement by attracting millions of third parties to its advertising platform, as well as showing strong growth in mobile markets with its competitive platform based on Android OS. Facebook has grown significantly into a platform business by introducing platforms such as Facebook Connect, Social Graph and Like.

B. Growth Potential

The Company expects that the scope and value generated by the platform business, including application and content marketplaces and N-screen services, will increase, as smartphones and tablet PCs become more popular and the bandwidth and speed of network infrastructure improve.

As the wireless network evolves to the fourth generation (4G) LTE, business opportunities for the platform business are growing, which include multimedia streaming, N-screen service based on cloud technology and high-definition location based services. Since the platform business realizes profit by connecting with advertisement or commerce after building a critical mass of subscriber and traffic base, recent growth in advertisement and commerce markets is expected to present an opportunity for platform businesses.

C. Domestic and Overseas Market Conditions

(1) Competition

• Application Marketplace

The growth of application marketplaces, which started with Apple’s App Store, provides the platform businesses with new opportunities for revenue generation.

• Media Contents Market

Due to an increase in the number of devices owned by each user and an increase in network speed, each user can now enjoy music or video files anywhere and anytime by storing them in cloud servers, which is called N screen service. Users can recommend music to other users through social networking services and this is expected to become a distribution model for digital media contents. Various service providers are competing in this market expecting a strong growth in on-line and mobile video market.

Internet portal service providers provide more or less identical types of services, including search, social networking sites, email service, news and other contents. However, for each type of service, a small number of service providers with specialized expertise are enjoying relatively large market shares. However, the portal services market has a relatively light entry barrier and there is increased competition from new entrants. In addition, the ease of access to services provided by competitive foreign providers is also adding to a strongly competitive market environment.

(2) Market Share

Our “CyWorld” service is the largest social networking website in Korea, with 26.11 million cumulative subscribers, 16.24 million net subscribers and a page view of 1.7 billion as of March 2012. Our “Nate-On” service had the largest market share of 70.9% in the instant messenger market in Korea with 10.2 million net users as of March 2012. Our “Nate” search portal service ranked third among search engines in Korea with a market share of 2.3% as of March 2012. (Source: Korean Click, company data).

• Commerce (Open Market)

11 Street, a marketplace, has continued its growth through effective marketing and customer satisfaction. Despite its later entry into the online commerce market (launched in 2008) which was already divided between Auction and G-Market, it has succeeded in growing to a comparable size with Auction vying for the second position. Future growth plans include new commerce and overseas joint ventures based on 11 Street’s business expertise.

• Location-based Service

T map provides map, local information, real-time traffic information and navigation services. With unique visitors of 4.32 million per month as of March 31, 2012, T map is one of the leading location based service platforms in Korea.

Hoppin is expanding its services to more types of smartphones and tablets. The Company plans to develop Hoppin service into a media platform acting as an intermediary of various N-screen services. It also plans to provide media platform services in global markets.

• Web Search through Nate.com

The Company’s web search service provided through Nate.com plans to enhance competitiveness by adding social search function. In addition, Cyworld plans to establish a worldwide service for global users.

• Mobile Social Networking Service

In the first quarter 2012, SK Planet, a subsidiary of the Company, acquired Mad Smart Co., Ltd., which provides “tic-toc” service, in order to expand its business to mobile communication and social networking services. Mobile social networking service, still in its early stage of development, presents ample opportunities for new businesses and is expected to grow rapidly in the future.

The Company plans to vigorously defend itself in the Supreme Court by supplementing legal analysis relating to the interpretation of legal actions. While the Company does not expect immediate impact on its business and financial condition from the litigation because the judgment amount is Won 570 million and the final outcome of the litigation has not been decided, the Company may be required to pay on-going license fees in the future if it loses in the final judgment.

Independent Auditors’ Review Report

Based on a report originally issued in Korean

To The Board of Directors and Shareholders

SK Telecom Co., Ltd.:

Reviewed financial statements

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements of SK Telecom Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), expressed in Korean won, which comprise the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of March 31, 2012, the related condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

We did not review the financial statements of SK Broadband Co., Ltd., a domestic subsidiary, two other domestic subsidiaries and an associate, whose financial statements constitute 25.5% of consolidated total assets as of March 31, 2012 and 15.2% of consolidated total operating revenue for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. Those financial statements were reviewed by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our report, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for those subsidiaries, is based solely on the reports of those other auditors.

Management’s responsibility for the Condensed Interim Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS”) No.1034 Interim Financial Reporting , and for such internal controls as management determines necessary to enable the preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ responsibility

Our responsibility is to issue a report on these condensed consolidated interim financial statements based on our review.

We conducted our review in accordance with the Review Standards for Quarterly and Semiannual Financial Statements established by the Securities and Futures Commission of the Republic of Korea. A review consists principally of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review and the reports of other auditors, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements referred to above are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with K-IFRS No.1034 Interim Financial Reporting .

The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 have been translated into United States dollars solely for the convenience of the reader. We have reviewed the translation and, in our opinion, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements expressed in Korean won have been translated into dollars on the basis set forth in note 2 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Table of Contents

Other Considerations

The condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Group for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 were reviewed by other auditors and their report thereon, dated May 27, 2011, stated that nothing has come to their attention that causes them to believe that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements referred to above were not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with K-IFRS No.1034 Interim Financial Reporting .

In addition, the condensed consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2011, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, which are not accompanying this report, were audited by other auditors and their report thereon, dated March 13, 2012, expressed an unqualified opinion. The accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2011, presented for comparative purposes, is not different from that audited by other auditors in all material respects.

The procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to review such consolidated interim financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries. Accordingly, this report and the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are for use by those knowledgeable about Korean auditing standards and their application in practice.

This report is effective as of May 16, 2012, the review report date. Certain subsequent events or circumstances, which may occur between the review report date and the time of reading this report, could have a material impact on the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto. Accordingly, the readers of the review report should understand that the above review report has not been updated to reflect the impact of such subsequent events or circumstances, if any.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are stated in Korean won, the functional currency of the Parent Company and the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group is incorporated and operates. The translation of Korean won amounts into U.S. dollar amounts is included solely for the convenience of readers of financial statements and has been made at the rate of (Won)1,131.40 to USD 1.00, the Noon Buying Rate in the City of New York for cable transfers in Korean won as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the last business day of the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. Such translations into U.S. dollars do not comply with K-IFRS and should not be construed as representations that the Korean won amounts could be converted into U.S. dollars at that or any other rate.

(1) Statement of compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1034 Interim Financial Reporting . They do not include all of the disclosures required for full annual financial statements.

The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with K-IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Unless either previously redeemed or exchanged, the notes are redeemable at 100% of the principal amount at maturity.

In accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on February 9, 2012, the exchange price has changed from (Won) 209,853 to (Won) 199,280 and the number of common shares that can be exchanged was changed from 2,192,102 shares to 2,308,406 shares due to the payment of periodic dividends.

  1. Financial Risk Management

(1) Financial risk management

The Group is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. Market risk is the risk related to the changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices. The Group implements a risk management system to monitor and manage these specific risks.

The Group’s financial assets under financial risk management consist of cash and cash equivalents, financial instruments, financial assets available-for-sale, trade and other receivables. Financial liabilities consist of trade and other payables, borrowings, and debentures.

1) Market risk

(i) Currency risk

The Group is exposed to currency risk mainly on exchange fluctuations on recognized assets and liabilities. The Group manages currency risk by currency forward, etc. if needed to hedge currency risk on business transactions. Currency risk occurs on forecasted transaction and recognized assets and liabilities which are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Group.

Monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2012 are as follows:

| (In millions of won, thousands of U.S. dollars, thousands of Euros, thousands of Japanese Yen, thousands of other
currencies) | | | | | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

(ii) Equity price risk

The Group has equity securities which include listed and non-listed securities for its liquidity and operating purpose. As of March 31, 2012, available-for-sale equity instruments measured at fair value amount of (Won) 1,270,097 million.

(iii) Interest rate risk

Since the Group’s interest bearing assets are mostly fixed-interest bearing assets, as such, the Group’s revenue and operating cash flow are not influenced by the changes in market interest rates. However, the Group still has interest rate risk arising from borrowings and debentures.

Accordingly, the Group performs various analysis of interest rate risk, which includes refinancing, renewal, alternative financing and hedging instrument option, to reduce interest rate risk and to optimize its financing.

The Group’s interest rate risk arises from floating-rate borrowings and payables. As of March 31, 2012, floating-rate borrowings and debentures amount to (Won) 3,651,953 million and the Group has entered into interest rate swaps to hedge interest rate risk related to floating-rate borrowings and debentures. (Refer to Note 19) If interest rate only increases (decreases) by 1%, income before income taxes for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 would have been decreased (increased) by (Won) 3,829 million due to the interest expense from floating-rate borrowings and bons payables.

2) 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 his/her contractual obligations. To manage credit risk, the Group evaluates the credit worthiness of each customer or counterparty considering the party’s financial information, its own trading records and other factors; based on such information, the Group establishes credit limits for each customer or counterparty.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, the Group has no trade and other receivables or loans which have indications of significant impairment loss or are overdue for a prolonged period. As a result, the Group believes that the possibility of default is remote. Also, the Group’s credit risk can rise due to transactions with financial institutions related to its cash and cash equivalents, financial instruments and derivates. To minimize such risk, the Group has a policy to deal with high credit worthy financial institutions. The amount of maximum exposure to credit risk of the Group is the carrying amount of financial assets as of March 31, 2012.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011

Fair value of the financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using the valuation method. The Group uses the various valuation methods and makes assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period. Fair value of financial instruments such as long-term liabilities is measured using the various methods including estimated discounted cash flow method.

Fair values of accounts receivable – trade, and accounts payable - trade are considered to be carrying amount less impairment and fair value of financial liabilities for the disclosure purpose is estimated by discounting contractual future cash flows using the current market interest rate used for the similar financial instruments by the Group.

Interest rates used by the Group for the fair value measurement as of March 31, 2012 are as follows:

Interest rate
Derivative instruments 3.19%~5.07%
Borrowings and debentures 4.09%

Independent Auditors’ Review Report

Based on a report originally issued in Korean

To The Board of Directors and Shareholders

SK Telecom Co., Ltd.:

Reviewed financial statements

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed separate interim financial statements of SK Telecom Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), expressed in Korean won, which comprise the condensed separate statement of financial position as of March 31, 2012, the related condensed separate statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s responsibility for the Condensed Interim Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these condensed separate interim financial statements in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS”) No.1034 Interim Financial Reporting , and for such internal controls as management determines necessary to enable the preparation of condensed separate interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ responsibility

Our responsibility is to issue a report on these condensed separate interim financial statements based on our review.

We conducted our review in accordance with the Review Standards for Quarterly and Semiannual Financial Statements established by the Securities and Futures Commission of the Republic of Korea. A review consists principally of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed separate interim financial statements referred to above are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with K-IFRS No.1034 Interim Financial Reporting .

The accompanying condensed separate interim financial statements as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 have been translated into United States dollars solely for the convenience of the reader. We have reviewed the translation and, in our opinion, the condensed separate interim financial statements expressed in Korean won have been translated into dollars on the basis set forth in note 2 to the condensed separate interim financial statements.

Other Considerations

The condensed separate statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the Company for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 were reviewed by other auditors and their report thereon, dated May 27, 2011, stated that nothing has come to their attention that causes them to believe that the condensed separate interim financial statements referred to above were not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with K-IFRS No.1034 Interim Financial Reporting .

In addition, the condensed separate statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2011, and the related condensed separate statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, which are not accompanying this report, were audited by other auditors and their report thereon, dated March 13, 2012, expressed an unqualified opinion. The accompanying condensed separate statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2011, presented for comparative purposes, is not different from that audited by other auditors in all material respects.

The procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to review such separate interim financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries. Accordingly, this report and the accompanying condensed separate financial statements are for use by those knowledgeable about Korean review standards and their application in practice.

KPMG Samjong Accounting Corp.

May 16, 2012

This report is effective as of May 16, 2012, the review report date. Certain subsequent events or circumstances, which may occur between the review report date and the time of reading this report, could have a material impact on the accompanying condensed separate interim financial statements and notes thereto. Accordingly, the readers of the review report should understand that the above review report has not been updated to reflect the impact of such subsequent events or circumstances, if any.

The accompanying separate financial statements are stated in Korean won, the functional currency of the Company and the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company is incorporated and operates. The translation of Korean won amounts into U.S. dollar amounts is included solely for the convenience of readers of financial statements and has been made at the rate of (Won) 1,131.40 to USD 1.00, the Noon Buying Rate in the City of New York for cable transfers in Korean won as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the last business day of the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. Such translations into U.S. dollars do not comply with K-IFRS and should not be construed as representations that the Korean won amounts could be converted into U.S. dollars at that or any other rate.

(1) Statement of compliance

These condensed separate interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1034 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all of the disclosures required for full annual financial statements.

These condensed interim financial statements are separate interim financial statements prepared in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1027 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements presented by a parent, an investor in an associate or a venturer 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.

(ii) Equity price risk

The Company has equity securities which include listed and non-listed securities for its liquidity and operating purpose. As of March 31, 2012, available-for-sale equity instruments measured at fair value amounts to (Won) 1,245,481 million.

(iii) Interest rate risk

Since the Company’s interest bearing assets are mostly fixed-interest bearing assets, as such, the Company’s revenue and operating cash flow are not influenced by the changes in market interest rates. However, the Company still has interest rate risk arising from borrowings and debentures.

Accordingly, the Company performs various analysis of interest rate risk, which includes refinancing, renewal, alternative financing and hedging instrument option, to reduce interest rate risk and to optimize its financing.

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011

  1. Financial Risk Management, Continued

The Company’s interest rate risk arises from floating-rate borrowings and payables. As of March 31, 2012, floating-rate borrowings and debentures amount to (Won) 3,379,932 million and the Company has entered into interest rate swaps to hedge interest rate risk related to floating-rate borrowings and debentures. (Refer to Note 16) If interest rate only increases (decreases) by 1%, income before income taxes for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 would have been decreased (increased) by (Won) 3,151 million due to the interest expense from floating-rate borrowings and debentures.

2) 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 his/her contractual obligations. To manage credit risk, the Company evaluates the credit worthiness of each customer or counterparty considering the party’s financial information, its own trading records and other factors; based on such information, the Company establishes credit limits for each customer or counterparty.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, the Company has no trade and other receivables or loans which have indications of significant impairment loss or are overdue for a prolonged period. As a result, the Company believes that the possibility of default is remonte. Also, the Company’s credit risk can rise due to transactions with financial institutions related to its cash and cash equivalents, financial instruments and derivates. To minimize such risk, the Company has a policy to deal with high credit worthy financial institutions. The amount of maximum exposure to credit risk of the Company is the carrying amount of financial assets as of March 31, 2012.

In addition, the aging of trade and other receivables that are over due at the end of the reporting period but not impaired is stated in Note 5 and the analysis of financial assets that are individually determined to be impaired at the end of the reporting period is stated in Note 22.

3) Liquidity risk

The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will always maintain sufficient cash equivalents balance and have enough liquidity through various committed credit lines. The Company maintains flexibly enough liquidity under credit lines through active operating activities.

The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a business while maximizing the return to shareholders through the optimization of its debt and equity balance. The overall strategy of the Company is the same as that of the Company as of and for the year ended 31 December 2011.

The Company monitors its debt-equity ratio as a capital management indicator. This ratio is calculated as total debt divided by total equity; the total debt and equity is extracted from the financial statements.

(In millions of won) March 31, 2012 December 31, 2011

Debt-equity ratio 97.58 % 71.49 %

(3) Fair value

Fair value of the financial instruments that are traded in an active market is measured based on the quoted market price at the end of the reporting date. Disclosed market price of the financial assets held by the Company is the bid price.

Fair value of the financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using the valuation method. The Company uses the various valuation methods and makes assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period. Fair value of financial instruments such as long-term liabilities is measured using the various methods including estimated discounted cash flow method.

Fair values of accounts receivable – trade, and accounts payable - trade are considered to be carrying amount less impairment and fair value of financial liabilities for the disclosure purpose is estimated by discounting contractual future cash flows using the current market interest rate used for the similar financial instruments by the Company.
