12 1. Corporate information Daewoo International Corporation (the Company ) was incorporated as a spin-off company on December 27, 2000 as a result of a spin-off by Daewoo Corporation on certain of its business activities. The Company had been placed under a work-out agreement with the Creditor Financial Institutions Council ( Creditor Council ), which was terminated on December 30, The Company is engaged in various business activities, such as providing export services, export agent services, intermediary trading, manufacturing, distribution and natural resource development. The primary products sold by the Company include various industrial grade steel, metals, chemicals, transportation equipment, machinery, ships, plants, electronics, textiles and other specialty goods. The Company listed its shares on the Korea Exchange on March 23, 2001,. The Company s common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2009 amounted to 489,192 million. As of December 31, 2009, the Company s major stockholder is Non-Performing Asset Management Fund ( NPA Fund ), which owns 35.53% of the Company s total outstanding shares. NPA Fund is wholly invested and managed by Korea Asset Management Corporation ( KAMCO ). 2. Summary of significant accounting policies Basis of financial statement preparation The Company maintains its official accounting records in Korean won and prepares statutory financial statements in the Korean language in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea ( Korean GAAP ). 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. For example, as noted in Note 7, equity in earnings of certain equity method investments, net of income tax effect, constituting 39.9% and 84.7% of the Company s net income for the years ended, respectively, was recorded based upon the unaudited financial information of the investees as submitted by the investees management. The procedures the Company performed with respect to the reliability on such unaudited financial information of the investee are limited to obtaining the reviewed financial statements (if available), analytical procedures, and making inquiries of the investees in accordance with Korean GAAP. Such accounting practice may be substantially less in scope than generally accepted practices in other jurisdictions. Accordingly, these non-consolidated financial statements are intended for use by those who are informed about Korean accounting principles and practices. In the event of any differences in interpreting the financial statements or the independent auditors report thereon, the Korean version, which is used for regulatory reporting purposes, shall prevail. The accompanying nonconsolidated financial statements have been condensed, restructured and translated into English from the Korean language financial statements. The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea, including Statements of Korea Accounting Standards ( SKAS ) 1 to 23, and the summary of significant account policies used for the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: Adoption of revised Statements of Korea Accounting Standards ( SKAS ) The Company has adopted the following revised SKAS for the current financial year. SKAS 5 Amendments Property, Plant and Equipment SKAS 21 Amendments - Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements 10

13 2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont d) Adoption of revised Statements of Korea Accounting Standards ( SKAS ) (cont d) The principal effects of these changes are as follows: SKAS 5 Amendments Property, Plant and Equipment This revised standard allows an entity to choose either the revaluation model or cost model as its accounting policy to an entire class property, plant and equipment. The comparative 2008 financial statements shall not be restated. The Company has adopted the revised standard and revalued its land at fair value. As a result, the Company s net assets increased by 42,005 million as of December 31, The related disclosures are presented in Note 9. SKAS 21 Amendments - Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements The revised standard requires an entity to replace the title balance sheet to statement of financial position. Financial statement translation The accompanying statements of financial position as of December 31, 2009 and the related statements of income, changes in equity, appropriation of retained earnings and cash flows for the year then ended are expressed in Korean won and, solely for the convenience of the reader, have been translated into United States dollars at the rate of 1,167.6 to US$1, the exchange rate on December 31, Such translation should not be construed as a representation that the Korean won amounts can actually be converted into United States dollars at the exchange rate used for the purpose of such translation. Revenue recognition Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when significant risk and rewards of ownership of goods have passed to the buyer. Revenues from long-term plant construction projects are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method, measured principally by the percentage of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs to complete the projects. Revenue received from transactions where the Company acts as an agent without assuming the risks and rewards of ownership of the goods is recognized on a net basis. Cash equivalents Highly liquid deposits and marketable securities with original maturities of three months or less, and which have no significant risk of loss in value by interest rate fluctuations, are considered as cash equivalents. Financial instruments Financial instruments, such as time deposits and restricted bank deposits, which are traded by financial institutions and are held for short-term cash management purposes or which will mature within one year, are accounted for as short-term financial instruments. Financial instruments other than cash equivalents and short-term financial instruments are recorded as long-term financial instruments. Disposal of accounts receivable The Company recognizes the difference between the book value and proceeds from disposal of accounts receivable as a non-operating expense when all the risks and rewards associated with the receivables are transferred to the transferee and the Company does not retain control of the receivables sold. 11

14 2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont d) Allowance for doubtful accounts The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aggregate estimated collectibles of individual accounts and historical experience. The Company also recognized the difference between the present value of future cash flows and book value of receivables as bad debt expenses when the receivables are restructured by the Company through a work-out agreement, reorganization, and agreement between relevant parties. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined using the first-in, first-out method, except for materials in-transit which are stated at cost by the specific identification method. Perpetual inventory system is used to record inventories, in which inventories are adjusted to physical inventory counts that are performed by periods. When a decline in the value of an inventory indicates that its cost exceeds net realizable value, a valuation loss will be recognized to write the inventory down to its net realizable value in cost of sales. If the circumstances that previously caused the inventories to be written down cease to exist or there is an increase in net realizable value, the amount of the write-down is reversed to the extent of the original write-down amount so that the new carrying amount is the lower of cost and revised net realizable value. The reversal is recognized as a deduction from cost of sales. Investments in securities Investments in securities within the scope of SKAS 8 Investments in Securities are classified as either held-to-maturity or available-for-sale securities, as appropriate, and are initially measured at cost, including incidental expenses, with cost being determined using the moving average method. The Company determines the classification of its investments after initial recognition, and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each fiscal year end. After initial measurement, available-for-sale securities are measured at fair value with unrealized gains or losses being recognized directly in equity as other comprehensive income. The fair value of available-for-sale securities that are traded actively in the open market (marketable securities) is measured at the closing price of those securities at the reporting date, except for non-marketable equity securities which are measured at cost subsequent to initial measurement if their fair values cannot be reliably estimated. Debt securities which carry fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-to-maturity if the Company has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity and are initially measured at cost being determined using the moving average method. Available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities are classified as long-term investments, except that securities maturing within one year or are certain to be disposed of within one year from the reporting date are classified as short-term investments. The Company recognizes an impairment loss on its investments in securities if there is objective evidence that the securities are impaired. The impairment loss is charged to statement of income. 12

15 2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont d) Equity method investments Investments in entities over which the Company has control or significant influence are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company s initial investment in an investee is recorded at acquisition cost. Subsequently, the carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to reflect the Company s share of income or loss of the investee in the statement of income and share of changes in equity that have been recognized directly in the equity of the investee in the related equity account of the Company on the statement of financial position. If the Company s share of losses of the investee equals or exceeds its interest in the investee, it suspends recognizing its share of further losses. However, if the Company has other long-term interests in the investee, it continues recognizing its share of further losses to the extent of the carrying amount of such longterm interests. At the date of acquisition, the excess of the cost of the investment over the Company s share of the net fair value of the investee s identifiable assets and liabilities is accounted for as goodwill which is amortized over its useful life using the straight-line method. Conversely, negative goodwill represents the excess of the Company s share in the net fair value of the investee s identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of the investment. Negative goodwill is recorded to the extent of the fair value of acquired non-monetary assets and recognized as income using the straight-line method over the remaining weighted-average useful life of those acquired non-monetary assets. The amount of negative goodwill in excess of the fair value of acquired non-monetary assets is recognized as income immediately. The Company s share in the investee s unrealized profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and its investee are eliminated. In translating the financial statements of foreign investees into Korean won, assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the reporting date and income and expenses are translated at the weighted-average exchange rate for the period. All resulting exchange differences are recognized as equity adjustment arising from equity method investments in other comprehensive income within equity. Joint venture investments A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby two or more parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control, and a jointly controlled entity is a joint venture that involves the establishment of a separate entity in which each venturer has an interest. Investments in jointly-controlled entities are accounted for in the financial statements by using the equity method of accounting as stated in accounting policy for equity method investments described above. 13

16 2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont d) Natural resources exploration investments Investment in exploration and development of natural resources such as natural gas and mineral reserves are initially accounted for at cost as part of non-current investment in the statement of financial position. When the reserves are proved to have commercially producible quantities of reserves, the exploration investment account is transferred to mining rights as an intangible asset and is amortized over its expected period of commercial production. Borrowings that are directly attributable to exploration investments are initially accounted for as part of long-term withholdings. When the reserves are proved to have commercially producible quantities of reserves, the Company transfers such borrowings to long-term debt and recognizes the cumulative interest expense from the date when such borrowings were first obtained up to the date when the reserve were proved. Conversely, in case of a failure in commercial production, the Company deducts such borrowings from the amount of exploration investment and recognizes any remaining balance as a loss in the current period. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the exploration investments of mining rights are capitalized as part of the cost of those assets. Such capitalized borrowing costs amounted to 17,137 million and 20,245 million for the years ended, respectively. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are expensed in the year in which they are incurred. Expenditures which enhance the value or extend the useful life of the related assets are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method or declining balance method as appropriate, over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows: Depreciation method Years Buildings Straight-line method 20~54 Structures Straight-line method 15~40 Others Declining balance method 2~8 The Company has adopted the amended SKAS 5 Property, Plant and Equipment and chosen the revaluation model as its accounting policy for its land for the financial period beginning January 1, Valuation is performed frequently enough to ensure that the fair value of a revalued asset does not differ materially from its carrying amount. If an asset s carrying amount is increased as a result of a revaluation, the increase shall be credited directly to other comprehensive income. However, the increase shall be recognized in the statement of income to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognized in the statement of income. If an asset s carrying amount is decreased as a result of a revaluation, the decrease shall be recognized in the statement of income. However, the decrease shall be debited directly to other comprehensive income to the extent of any credit balance existing in the revaluation surplus in respect of that asset. Intangible assets Intangible assets of the Company consist of development costs, distributorship, mining rights and other intangible assets, which are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is recognized as an expense based on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows: Years Development costs 5 Distributorship 5 Mining rights 20 Other intangible assets 5~20 14

17 2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont d) Convertible bonds When issuing convertible bonds, the value of the conversion rights (equity component) is recognized separately. The portion allocable to the conversion rights is measured by deducting the present value of the debt at the time of issuance from the gross proceeds from issuance of convertible bonds, with the present value of the debt being computed by discounting the expected future cash flow using the effective interest rate applied to ordinary debt of the Company at the issue date. The portion allocable to the conversion rights is accounted for as a capital surplus and the redemption premium payable at maturity of the bonds is accounted for as an addition to the face value of the bond with a corresponding conversion rights adjustment which is deducted from the related bonds. Such conversion rights adjustment is amortized to interest expense using the effective-interest-rate method over the redemption period of the convertible bonds. Provision for restoration The present value of the estimated costs of restoring the a mining field where the Company conducts its mining activity and assumes the restoration responsibility is reflected as part of the carrying amount of the mining rights recorded in intangible assets, if the cost of restoration meet the recognition criteria for provisions. Subsequent to initial recognition, any changes in the measurement of the estimated restoration costs are recognized in the statement of income as part of non-operating income or expense as appropriate. Derivative financial instruments Derivative financial instruments are presented as assets or liabilities valued principally at the fair value of the rights or obligations associated with the derivative contracts. The unrealized gain or loss from a derivative transaction with the purpose of hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or unrecognized firm commitment is recognized in current operations. For a derivative instrument with the purpose of hedging the exposure to the variability of cash flows of a recognized asset or liability or a forecasted transaction, the hedge-effective portion of the derivative instrument s gain or loss is deferred as an other comprehensive income in equity. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss is charged or credited to current operations. Derivative instruments that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting, or contracts for which the Company has not elected hedge accounting are measured at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported in current operations. Severance and retirement benefits In accordance with the Employee Retirement Benefit Security Act ( ERBSA ) and the Company s employee benefits policy, employees terminating their employment with at least one year of service are entitled to severance and retirement benefits, based on the rates of pay in effect at the time of termination, years of service and certain other factors. The provision for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009 is sufficient to state the liability at the estimated obligation arising from services performed to and at rates of pay in effect as of. Separate funding of this liability is not required by Korean law. The Company has deposited a portion of its severance and retirement benefits obligation with an insurance company, and such deposit has been offset against the Company s liability for severance and retirement benefits as of the reporting date. 15

18 2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont d) Severance and retirement benefits (cont d) In accordance with the Korean National Pension Law prior to revision, the Company had prepaid a portion of its severance and retirement benefits obligation to the National Pension Service ( NPS ) at the rate of 3% of payroll expense up through March 31, Such prepayments have been offset against the Company s liability for severance and retirement benefits. In accordance with a revision in the Korean National Pension Law, additions to these prepayments are no longer required effective from April 1, Income taxes Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the tax authorities. Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method for the tax effect of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse, and are classified as current or non-current, respectively, based on the classification of the related asset or liability in the statement of financial position. In addition, current tax and deferred tax are charged or credited directly to equity if the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity. Valuation of receivables (payables) at present value Receivables (payables) arising from long-term installment transactions are stated at present value. The difference between the carrying amount and present value of the receivables (payables) is amortized using the effective-interest-rate method and credited (charged) to statement of income over the installment period. Foreign currency translation Transactions involving foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing at the time the transactions are made. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Korean won at the appropriate exchange rates on the reporting date. The resulting unrealized foreign currency translation gains or losses are credited or charged to current operations. Translation of overseas financial statements stated in a foreign currency Financial statements of overseas business locations are maintained in the currencies of the countries in which they conduct their operations. In translating the foreign currency financial statements of these foreign business branches or offices into Korean won, assets and liabilities are translated at the current exchange rate on the reporting date and income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate during the year. All resulting exchange gains or losses are recognized as foreign currency translation adjustments in accumulated other comprehensive income within equity. Such foreign currency translation losses amounted to 10,313 million and 1,419 million as of, respectively. Leases A lease is accounted for as either a capital lease or an operating lease. A lease is recognized as a capital lease if it transfers substantially to the Company all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset. An asset acquired by way of a capital lease arrangement is stated in the statement of financial position at the lower of the fair value or the present value of minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease. The corresponding liability is included in the statement of financial position as a capital lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Capitalized lease assets are depreciated in the same manner as other depreciable property, plant and equipment. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 16

19 2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont d) Share-based payment For equity-settled share-based payment transactions, the Company measures the goods or services received, and the corresponding increase in equity at the fair value of the goods or services received or the equity instruments granted over the vesting period. For cash-settled sharebased payment transactions, the Company measures the goods or services acquired and the liability incurred at the fair value of the liability, and re-measures the fair value of the liability at each reporting date, with any changes in value recognized in profit or loss for the period. For sharebased payment transactions in which the terms of the arrangement provide the supplier of goods or services with a choice of whether the Company settles the transaction in cash or by issuing equity instruments, the Company accounts for that transaction, or the components of that transaction, as a cash-settled share-based payment transaction if, and to the extent that, the Company has incurred a liability to settle in cash (or other assets), or as an equity-settled share-based payment transaction if, and to the extent that, no such liability has been incurred. Share-based payment transactions implemented before the effective date of SKAS 22 are accounted in accordance with Korea Financial Accounting Standards Interpretations Accounting for Stock Options. Provision and contingent liabilities When there is a probability that an outflow of economic benefits will occur due to a present obligation resulting from a past event, and which is reasonably estimable, a corresponding amount of provision is recognized in the financial statements. However, when such an outflow is dependent on a future event, is not certain to occur, or cannot be reliably estimated, a contingent liability is disclosed, but not recognized in the financial statements. Government subsidy Government subsidy, which is required to be repaid, is recorded as a liability in the statement of financial position. Government subsidy with no repayment obligation, which is used to purchase a designated asset or to develop a certain technology, is accounted for as a deduction from the acquisition cost of the acquired assets. Such subsidy amount is offset against the depreciation or amortization of the acquired assets during such assets useful life. Government subsidy, contributed to compensate for specific expenses, is offset against the related expenses as incurred. Per share amounts Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share measures the performance of the Company over the reporting period while giving effect to all potential common shares, such as options, warrants and convertible bonds, that are dilutive and outstanding during the period. Debt to be converted into equity Debt to be converted into equity, specifically into the Company s common stock, is recorded as a capital adjustment. Significant judgments and accounting estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Korean GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 17
