 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On September&nbsp;20, 2006, Korea Electric Power Corporation, or KEPCO, was served with process in connection with a
complaint filed by Korea Land Corporation, or KLC, with the Seoul Central District Court requesting damages of KRW 150.5 billion, representing a refund that KLC alleges that it is entitled to in connection with 32 government-sponsored housing
projects. Among the issues raised in the complaint is the alleged refund of installation costs for underground electric power cable facility. Under applicable laws and regulations in Korea, KEPCO is required to bear the cost of installing overhead
electric power cable facilities in connection with these government-sponsored housing projects (including those sponsored by KLC). However, under these laws and regulations, it is uncertain as to who should bear the cost of installing
&#147;underground&#148; electric power cable facilities. As the cost of installing an underground facility is considerably greater than installing an overhead facility, KEPCO has long since maintained in similar projects that the project sponsors,
such as KLC, Korea National Housing Corporations (&#147;KNHC&#148;) or local governments, should bear the difference in costs of installation if such project sponsors choose the underground installation over the overhead installation and thus, have
collected payments from project sponsors representing such difference. KLC and other sponsors have maintained otherwise and have filed several lawsuits to obtain a judicial decision on this matter and to collect the portion of payments attributable
to the cost of installation described above. In addition to the lawsuit covered by the complaint served on KEPCO on September&nbsp;20, 2006, 13 other lawsuits had been previously filed by KLC, KNHC and local governments against KEPCO with similar
fact patterns and alleging damages amounting to in the aggregate KRW 64.5 billion. Two of these lawsuits have been pending at the Supreme Court of Korea for over one year. KEPCO expects that the decision by the Supreme Court on these two lawsuits
dictate the outcome of the other pending lawsuits.</FONT></P>
