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, 2013 and 2012, and the related non-consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, expressed in Korean won. These non-consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these non-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 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 statements 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, 2013 and 2012, 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.

Notes to Non-Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2013 and 2012

 

1.              The Company

 

GRAVITY Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated on April 4, 2000, to engage in developing and distributing online games and other related business principally in the Republic of Korea and other countries in Asia, United States and Europe. The Company maintains a single business segment engaged in developing online games, software licensing and other related services. The Company’s principal game product, “Ragnarok”, a massive multi-player online role-playing game, was commercially launched in August 2002, and currently operated internationally over the 60 markets through three subsidiaries, including Gravity Interactive, Inc. In addition, the Company has another subsidiary, NeoCyon, Inc., which operates in mobile service business in Republic of Korea. The Company also has 85.50% ownership of Gravity Games Corp., the developer of “Dragonica”, a massive multi-player online role playing game.

 

On February 8, 2005, the Company listed its shares on NASDAQ in the United States, and issued 1,400,000 shares of common stock by means of American Depositary Shares.

 

As of December 31, 2013, the total paid-in capital amounts to 3,474,450 thousand. The Company’s major shareholders and their respective percentage of ownership as of December 31, 2013, are as follows:

2.              Significant Accounting Policies

 

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

 

2.1 Basis of Presentation

 

The Company maintains its accounting records in Korean won and prepares statutory financial statements in the Korean language (Hangul) in accordance with the 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”). Certain accounting principles applied by the Company that conform with financial accounting standards and accounting principles in the Republic of Korea may not conform with generally accepted accounting principles in other countries. Accordingly, these financial statements are intended for use by those who are informed about Korean accounting principles and practices. The accompanying financial statements have been condensed, restructured and translated into English from the Korean language financial statements.

 

Certain information attached to the Korean language financial statements, but not required for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, financial performance or cash flows, is not presented in the accompanying financial statements.

GRAVITY CO., LTD.

Notes to Non-Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2013 and 2012

 

2.2 Foreign Currency Translation

 

(a) 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.

 

(b) 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 statements of operations, 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.

 

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.

 

2.3 Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash without significant transaction costs which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

 

2.4 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 Company exercises a significant control or influence, are recorded using the equity-method of accounting. Trading securities are classified as short-term investments while available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities are classified as long-term investments, excluding those securities that mature or are certain to be disposed of within one year, which are then classified as short-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 statements of operations, while unrealized gains and losses of available-for-sale securities are recognized under other comprehensive income and expense. Realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are recognized in the statements of operations.

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.

 

2.5 Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts for trade receivables. 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 trade 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.

 

2.6 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 expense (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 Accounting 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 financial statements, unless the equity-method of accounting has been discontinued on the said investee.

2.7 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 following depreciation method and estimated useful lives:

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.

 

2.8 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 statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

 

2.9 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 the following depreciation methods and estimated useful lives:

 

 

 

Estimated Useful Lives

New product and new technology related development costs, which are individually identifiable and it is probable that the expected future economic benefits will flow to the Company, are capitalized as intangible assets. Amortization of development costs begins when the related product or technology are available for sale or use, over 2 to 5 years using straight-line method.

 

In addition, costs for exclusive rights to distribute online games which are being developed with probable future benefits are capitalized as other intangible assets. Such intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement from the point of commercialization.

2.10 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 the 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.

 

2.11 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.

 

2.12 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.

 

2.13 Income Tax and Deferred Income Tax

 

Income tax expense (benefit) includes the current income tax 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 or operating loss to the

 

13



 

GRAVITY CO., LTD.

Notes to Non-Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2013 and 2012

 

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 equity are directly reflected in the equity.

 

2.14 Employee Benefits

 

(a) 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.

 

(b) Annual paid leave obligations

 

The Company recognizes expenses and liabilities related to annual paid leave during an accounting period when an employee has rendered service that gives rise to employee’s entitlement to future annual paid leave.

 

The Company recognized expenses and liabilities for the entire annual paid leave resulting from the rendered service as the Company compensates for unused annual leaves.

 

2.15 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 guarantee minimum royalty payments. The prepaid license fee revenues are deferred and recognized on a straight-line method over the license period. The guarantee 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.

 

2.16 Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

 

(a) Initial measurement

 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at the fair value at the initial recognition. Generally, the transaction price (i.e. the fair value of the consideration paid for financial assets and received for financial liabilities) is treated as fair value. In addition, 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 fair value.

 

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

 

14



 

GRAVITY CO., LTD.

Notes to Non-Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2013 and 2012

 

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 designated as a hedging instrument in a cash flow hedge accounting) 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.

 

(b) Subsequent measurement

 

Financial assets and financial liabilities other than securities (note 2.4), 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 of trading securities (note 2.4).

 

2.17 Foreign currency translations of foreign subsidiaries under equity-method

 

The Company translates assets and liabilities at closing rate as of the reporting date, equity at exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction, and income and expenses at average exchange rate of foreign subsidiaries under equity-method of accounting. Gains and losses arising from such translations are recognized in other comprehensive income and expense. When the foreign subsidiaries under equity-method of accounting are sold or liquidated, exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income or expenses are recognized in the statement of operations.

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, 2013. 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, 2013, no material weaknesses are identified as of December 31, 2013, 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, 2013, and we did not review management’s assessment of its IACS subsequent to December 31, 2013. 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.

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, 2013.

 

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, 2013, in all material respect, in accordance with the IACS standards.
