INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Korean on March 14, 2018

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Woori Bank

Report on the Separate Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying separate financial statements of Woori Bank (the “Bank”). The separate financial statements consist of the separate statements of financial position as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and the related separate statements of comprehensive income, separate statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and separate statements of cash flows, all expressed in Korean won, for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Separate Financial Statements

The Bank’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the accompanying separate financial statements in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS”) and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of separate financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Independent Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an audit opinion on these separate financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing (“KSAs”). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the separate financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the separate financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the separate financial statements to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the separate financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Deloitte refers to one or more of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited, a UK private company limited by guarantee (“DTTL”),

Its network of member firms, and their related entities. DTTL and each of its member firms are legally separate and independent entities.

WOORI BANK

NOTES TO SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016

 

1. GENERAL:

 

(1) Woori Bank

Woori Bank (the “Bank”) was established in 1899 and is engaged in the commercial banking business under the Banking Act, trust business and foreign exchange business under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Market Act.

Previously, Woori Finance Holdings Co., Ltd., the former holding company of Woori Financial Group, established on March 27, 2001, held a 100% ownership of the Bank. Effective November 1, 2014, Woori Finance Holdings Co., Ltd. completed its merger (the “Merger”) with and into the Bank. Accordingly, the shares of the Bank, 597 million shares, prior to the merger, was reduced to nil in accordance with capital reduction procedure, and then, in accordance with the merger ratio, the Bank newly issued 676 million shares. As a result, as of December 31, 2017, the common stock of the Bank amounts to 3,381,392 million Korean won.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation (“KDIC”), the majority shareholder of the Bank, sold its 187 million shares in the Bank in accordance with the contract of “Disposal of Woori Bank’s shares to Oligopolistic Shareholders”. In addition to the sale, during the year ended December 31, 2017, KDIC sold additional 33 million shares. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, KDIC held 125 million shares and 158 million shares (18.43% and 23.37% ownership interest), respectively, of the Bank’s shares issued.

On June 24, 2002, Woori Finance Holdings Co., Ltd. listed its common shares on the Korea Exchange through public offering. In addition, on September 29, 2003, the holding company registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States of America and, on the same day, listed its American Depositary Shares on the New York Stock Exchange. As Woori Finance Holdings Co., Ltd. was merged into the Bank, the Bank, which is the existing company, succeeded such rights and obligations as a listed company on the Korea Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange.

As a result of such merger, the Bank incorporated Woori Card Co., Ltd., Woori Investment Bank Co., Ltd., Woori FIS Co., Ltd., Woori Private Equity Asset Management Co., Ltd. and Woori Finance Research Institute Co., Ltd. as its subsidiaries.

The headquarters of the Bank is located at 51, Sogong-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul, Korea. The Bank has 876 branches and offices in Korea, and 23 branches and offices overseas as of December 31, 2017.

 

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

(1) Basis of Preparation

The Bank’s separate financial statements are prepared in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standard (“K-IFRS”) 1027, Separate Financial Statements. Separate financial statements are those presented by a parent or an investor with joint control of, or significant influence over, an investee, in which the investments are accounted for at cost or equity method or fair value in accordance with K-IFRS 1039, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or equity method in accordance with K-IFRS 1028, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures.

Unless stated below, the accounting policies applied in preparing the accompanying separate financial statements have been applied consistently with the annual separate financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Deloitte refers to one or more of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited, a UK private company limited by guarantee (“DTTL”),

Its network of member firms, and their related entities. DTTL and each of its member firms are legally separate and independent entities.

DTTL (also referred to as “Deloitte Global”) does not provide services to clients.

The separate financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain properties and financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values at the end of each reporting period. Historical cost is general based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

The separate financial statements of the Bank were approved by the board of directors on March 2, 2018.

 

- 3 -


1) The Bank has newly adopted the following amendment to K-IFRS that affected the Bank’s accounting policies:

Amendments to K-IFRS 1007 – Statement of Cash Flows

The amendments require that changes in liabilities arising from financial activities are disclosed. The adoption of the amendments has no significant impact on the separate financial statements.

Amendments to K-IFRS 1012 – Income Taxes

The amendments clarify that unrealized losses on fixed-rate debt instruments measured at fair value and measured at cost for tax purposes give rise to a deductible temporary difference regardless of whether the holder expects to recover the carrying amount of the debt instrument by sale or by use and that the estimate of probable future taxable profit may include the recovery of some of assets for more than their carrying amount. When the Bank assesses whether there will be sufficient taxable profit, the Bank should compare the deductible temporary differences with future taxable profit that excludes tax deductions resulting from the reversal of those deductible temporary differences. The adoption of the amendments has no significant impact on the separate financial statements.

Other than the amendment stated above, there are several annual improvements in the current period, but the application of the amendments has had no material effect on the Bank’s separate financial statements.

 

2) The Bank has not applied the following K-IFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective:

Enactments to K-IFRS 1109 – Financial Instruments

The standards include the requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments based on their business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and based on the contractual terms that give rise on specified dates to cash flows, impairment methodology based on the expected credit losses, broadened types of instruments that qualify as hedging instruments, the types of risk components of non-financial items that are eligible for hedge accounting and the change in the hedge effectiveness test. This standard supersedes K-IFRS 1039 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, and will be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

In principle, K-IFRS 1109 must be applied retrospectively. However, there are certain exemptions to the application of retroactive approach such as presenting comparative information on classification, measurement and impairment of financial instruments. In addition, K-IFRS 1109 is applied prospectively for hedge accounting with exceptions such as accounting for the time value of options.

The Bank has completed the implementation of the design of the internal controls and/or financial reporting processes related to the presentation of financial instruments in order to adopt K-IFRS 1109. The Bank has completed a financial impact analysis on the 2017 separate financial statements based on available information as of year-end in order to determine the impact of adopting K-IFRS 1109 for the first time. The expected financial impact of each key issue on the separate financial statements is as follows.

a) Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments

When K-IFRS 1109 is adopted, all recognized financial assets that, in scope, are subsequently measured at either amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”), or fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) as shown below, based on the business model for managing financial assets and based on the nature of contractual cash flows arising from the financial assets. Also, when a hybrid contract contains financial asset as its host contract, the embedded derivative will not be bifurcated as the whole hybrid contract would be classified as a financial asset.

  (*1) An irrevocable election is available to designate a financial asset to be classified as FVTPL for eliminating or reducing accounting discrepancies.
  (*2) For equity securities held for purposes other than short-term trading, an irrevocable election is available to designate them as FVTOCI financial assets.

As the requirements to classify a financial asset as either amortized cost or FVTPL are more stringent in K-IFRS 1109 than in K-IFRS 1039, the variability of net income may increase as the amount of FVTPL financial assets is increased due to the adoption of K-IFRS 1109.

As of year-end, the Bank currently holds loans and receivables amounting to 248,810,624 million won, held-to-maturity (“HTM”) financial assets amounting to 16,638,727 million won, available-for-sale (“AFS”) financial assets amounting to 14,186,704 million won and FVTPL financial assets (except derivatives) amounting to 1,034,955 million won.

According to K-IFRS 1109, a financial asset may be measured at amortized cost only when its cash flows are solely principal and interest on specified dates on the contract and when the purpose of holding such asset is only to receive the contractual cash flows. As of year-end, the Bank holds loans and receivables amounting to 248,810,624 million won and HTM financial assets amounting to 16,638,727 million won, which are measured at amortized cost. This amount includes 51,653 million won of hybrid contracts in which the host contract, after separating the embedded derivatives, is a debt security.

The estimated impact on the classification and measurement of Bank’s financial assets (except derivatives) as of year-end is presented as follows. The following information is constructed from the accounting system for financial instruments built for adopting K-IFRS 1109.

Among the financial assets measured at amortized cost, loans and receivables and AFS financial assets amounting to 51,653 million won and AFS financial assets amounting to 1,254,928 million won would be reclassified to FVTPL financial assets as a result of adopting K-IFRS 1109.

 

- 5 -


b) Classification and Measurement of Financial Liabilities

According to the K-IFRS 1109, the amount of changes in the fair value of financial liabilities measured at FVTPL due to changes in credit risk is presented as part of other comprehensive income, and such amount is not recycled subsequently in profit or loss. However, when recognizing the fair value changes in other comprehensive income causes or magnifies accounting discrepancies, the amount is recognized in profit or loss instead.

As of year-end, the Bank holds financial liabilities amounting to 276,275,283 million won, and out of this amount, 251,796 million won has been designated as FVTPL financial liabilities. In relation to these financial liabilities, the increase in fair value amounting to 31,275 million won has been recognized as losses in the current period.

The results of the analysis conducted to determine the financial impact of applying K-IFRS 1109 on FVTPL financial liabilities as of year-end show that the cumulative changes in fair value of FVTPL financial liabilities as a result of changes in credit risk amounted to 133 million won.

c) Impairment: Financial assets and contract assets

K-IFRS 1109 requires the recognition of allowance for expected credit losses for debt instruments, lease receivables, contract assets, loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts measured at either amortized cost or FVTPL.

The allowance to be recognized under K-IFRS 1109 is the amount of expected 12-month credit loss or the expected lifetime credit loss, according to the three stages of credit risk deterioration since initial recognition as shown below.

 

    

Stage 1

Allowance for expected credit losses   

Expected 12-month credit losses:

Expected credit losses due to possible defaults on financial instruments within a 12-month period from the year-end.

  

Expected lifetime credit losses:

Expected credit losses from all possible defaults during the expected lifetime of the financial instruments.

 

  (*) Credit risk may be considered to not have been significantly increased when credit risk is low at year-end.

Meanwhile, for financial assets already impaired at initial recognition, the allowance for expected credit losses per K-IFRS 1109 is the amount of cumulative changes in the expected lifetime credit losses after its initial recognition.

As of year-end the Bank holds loans and receivables (net) amounting to 248,810,624 million won in accordance with K-IFRS 1039. In relation to this amount, the Bank has recognized allowance for credit losses amounting to 1,560,990 million won.

d) Hedge accounting

The requirements for hedge accounting in K-IFRS 1109 has become more lenient as compared to K-IFRS 1039. That is, more financial instruments may now be considered to be a hedged item and/or a hedging instrument, the quantitative basis for evaluating high hedge effectiveness (80%–125%) has been abolished and the retroactive assessment requirement has also been abolished. These allow the firms to concentrate on hedging activities.

There are no significant impacts to the Bank’s financial statements related to hedge accounting as a result of adopting K-IFRS 1109.

Enactments to K-IFRS 1115 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The core principle under K-IFRS 1115 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments introduce a five-step approach to revenue recognition and measurement: 1) Identify the contract with a customer, 2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract, 3) Determine the transaction price, 4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and 5) Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. This standard will supersede K-IFRS 1011—Construction Contracts, K-IFRS 1018— Revenue, K-IFRS 2113—Customer Loyalty Programmes, K-IFRS 2115—Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, K-IFRS 2118—Transfers of Assets from Customers, and K-IFRS 2031—Revenue-Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

Amendments to K-IFRS 1102 – Share-based Payment

The amendments include: 1) when measuring the fair value of share-based payment, the effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled share-based payment should be consistent with the measurement of equity-settled share-based payment; 2) Share-based payment transaction in which the Bank settles the share-based payment arrangement net by withholding a specified portion of the equity instruments per statutory tax withholding requirements would be classified as equity settled in its entirety, if otherwise would be classified as equity settled without the net settlement feature; and 3) when a cash-settled share-based payment changes to an equity-settled share-based payment because of modifications of the terms and conditions, the original liability recognized is derecognized and the equity-settled share-based payment is recognized at the modification date fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the liability at the modification date and the amount recognized in equity at the same date would be recognized in profit and loss immediately. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

Amendments to K-IFRS 1040—Transfers of Investment Property

The amendments clarify that a transfer to, or from, investment property necessitates an assessment of whether a property meets, or has ceased to meet, the definition of investment property, supported by observable evidence that a change in use has occurred. The amendments further clarify that situations other than the ones listed in K-IFRS 1040 may evidence a change in use, and that a change in use is possible for properties under construction (i.e., a change in use is not limited to completed properties).

 

- 7 -


The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with earlier application permitted. Entities can apply the amendments either retrospectively (if this is possible without the use of hindsight) or prospectively.

Enactments to K-IFRS 2122 – Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration

The interpretation addresses how to determine the ‘date of transaction’ for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of an asset, expense or income, when consideration for that item has been paid or received in advance in a foreign currency that resulted in the recognition of a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability (e.g., a non-refundable deposit or deferred revenue).

The interpretation specifies that the date of transaction is the date on which the entity initially recognizes the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the payment or receipt of advance consideration. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, the interpretation requires an entity to determine the date of transaction for each payment or receipt of advance consideration.

The interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with earlier application permitted. Entities can apply the interpretation either retrospectively or prospectively. Specific transition provisions apply to prospective application.

Annual Improvements to K-IFRS 2014-2016 Cycle

The amendments include partial amendments to K-IFRS 1101 ‘First-time Adoption of K-IFRS’ and K-IFRS 1028 ‘Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures.’ Amendments to K-IFRS 1028 provide that an investment company such as a venture capital investment vehicle may selectively designate each of its investment in associates and/or joint ventures to be measured at FVTPL, and that such designation must be made at the time of each investment’s initial recognition. In addition, when non-investment companies apply equity method to investment in associates and/or joint ventures that are investment companies, these companies may apply the same fair value measurement used by the said associates to value their own subsidiaries. This accounting treatment may be selectively applied to each associate. These amendments should be applied retrospectively and are available for early adoption.

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Bank is neither a venture capital investment vehicle nor is adopting K-IFRS for the first time; thus, it is expected that the amendments explained above will not affect the Bank’s financial statements. Furthermore, the Bank does not own shares of an associate or a joint venture that are classified as investment companies.

The Bank is in the process of evaluating the impact of the above-mentioned amendments on the separate financial statements.

(2) Business combinations

Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Bank, liabilities assumed by the Bank to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Bank in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognized in net income as incurred.

At the acquisition date, the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the condition for recognition under K-IFRS 1103 are recognized at their fair value, except that:

 

    deferred tax assets or liabilities and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements are recognized and measured in accordance with K-IFRS 1012 Income Taxes and K-IFRS 1019 Employee Benefits, respectively;

 

    liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree or share-based payment arrangements of the Bank entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree are measured in accordance with K-IFRS 1102 Share-based Payment at the acquisition date; and

 

- 8 -


    non-current assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with K-IFRS 1105 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amounts and fair value less costs to sell.

Any excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the Bank’s previously held equity interest (if any) in the acquiree over the net of identifiable assets and liabilities assumed of the acquiree at the acquisition date is recognized as goodwill which is included in intangible assets.

If, after reassessment, the Bank’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognized immediately in net income as a bargain purchase gain.

Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Other types of non-controlling interests are measured at fair value or, when applicable, on the basis specified in another K-IFRS.

When the consideration transferred by the Bank in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the ‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.

The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that do not qualify as measurement-period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with K-IFRS—1039 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, or K-IFRS—1037 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognized in profit or loss.

When a business combination is achieved in stages, the Bank’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured at fair value at the acquisition date (i.e., the date when the Bank obtains control) and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognized in net income. Amounts arising from changes in value of interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to net income where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of.

In case where i) a common entity ultimately controls over all participating entities, or businesses, in a business combination transaction, prior to and after the transaction continuously, and ii) the control is not temporary, the transaction meets the definition of “business combination under common control” and it is deemed that the transaction only results in the changes in legal substance, and not economic substance, from the perspective of the ultimate controlling party. Thus, in such transactions, the acquirer recognizes the assets and liabilities of the acquiree in its financial statements at the book values as recognized in the ultimate controlling party’s consolidated financial statements, and the difference between the book value of consideration transferred to and the book value of net assets transferred in is recognized as equity.

 

(3) Investment in Joint operation

A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

 

- 9 -


When the Bank operates as a joint operator, it recognizes in relation to its interest in a joint operation:

(a) its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly;

(b) its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly;

(c) its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation;

(d) its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and

(e) its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly.

The Bank accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses relating to its interest in a joint operation in accordance with the K-IFRSs applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

When the Bank enters into a transaction with a joint operation in which it is a joint operator, such as a sale or contribution of assets, it is conducting the transaction with the other parties to the joint operation and, as such, the Bank recognizes gains and losses resulting from such a transaction only to the extent of the other parties’ interests in the joint operation.

When the Bank enters into a transaction with a joint operation in which it is a joint operator, such as a purchase of assets, it does not recognize its share of the gains and losses until it resells those assets to a third party.

 

(4) Revenue recognition

1) Interest income

Interest income is recognized when earned. Interest income on financial assets that are classified as loans and receivables, AFS or HTM is determined using the effective interest method.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset (or group of financial assets) and of allocating the interest income over the expected life of the asset. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows to the instrument’s initial carrying amount. Calculation of the effective interest rate considers fees payable or receivable that is an integral part of the instrument’s yield, premiums or discounts on acquisition or issue, early redemption fees and transaction costs. All contractual terms of a financial instrument are considered when estimating future cash flows.

2) Loan origination fees and costs

The commission fees earned on loans, which is part of the effective interest rate of loans, is accounted for deferred origination fees. Incremental cost related to the acquisition or disposal is accounted for deferred origination costs, and it is amortized on the effective interest method and included in interest revenues on loans.

3) Fees and commissions income

Commitment and utilization fees are determined as a percentage of the outstanding facility. If it is unlikely that a specific lending arrangement will be entered, such fees are included in net income over the life of the facility; otherwise, they are deferred and included in the effective interest rate on the advance.

4) Trust fees and compensation related to trust accounts

The Bank receives fees for its management of unconsolidated trust assets, which are recognized on an accrual basis when the management services are provided and earned. The Bank also is entitled to receive performance-based fees for certain trust accounts. These performance-based fees are recognized at the end of the performance period. In addition, a certain trust account that the Bank guarantees to repay the principals and minimum interests of the trust account to its beneficiaries shall be included in the separate financial statements. The Bank recognizes income when earned and expenses when interests to be paid to beneficiaries are accrued.

(5) Accounting for foreign currencies

The Bank’s separate financial statements are presented in Korean won, which is the functional currency of the Bank. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at its prevailing exchange rates at the date. Foreign exchange differences on monetary items that qualify as hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge or that form part of net investment in foreign operations are recognized in equity.

A monetary AFS financial asset is treated as if it were carried at amortized cost in the foreign currency. Accordingly, for such financial assets, exchange differences resulting from retranslating amortized cost are recognized in net income.

Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated into Korean won at foreign exchange rates at the dates the values were determined. Translation differences arising on non-monetary items measured at fair value are recognized in net income except for differences arising on non-monetary AFS financial assets, for example equity shares, which are included in the AFS reserve in equity unless the asset is the hedged item in a fair value hedge.

The Bank identifies the most appropriate functional currency for each foreign operation based on the foreign operation’s activities. If Korean won is not the foreign operation’s functional currency, its assets and liabilities, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into Korean won at foreign exchange rates at the end of each reporting date while the revenues and expenses are translated into Korean won at average exchange rates for the period unless these do not approximate to the foreign exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange differences arising on the translation of a foreign operation are recognized directly in equity and included in net income on its disposal.

 

(6) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, demand deposits, interest-earning deposits with original maturities of up to three months of acquisition date and highly liquid investment assets that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

 

(7) Financial assets and financial liabilities

 

  1) Financial assets

A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized or derecognized on the trade or settlement date. A regular way purchase or sale is a purchase or sale of a financial asset under a contract whose term requires delivery of the asset within the time frame established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned.

On initial recognition, financial assets are classified into financial assets at FVTPL, AFS financial assets, HTM and loans and receivables.

 

  a) Financial assets at FVTPL

A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:

 

    it has been acquired principally for selling in the near term;

 

    on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Bank manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit taking; or

 

    it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.

A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:

 

    such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or

 

- 11 -


    the financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities, or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Bank’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or

 

    it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and K-IFRS 1039 permits the entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as at FVTPL.

 

  b) AFS financial assets:

Financial assets that are not classified as HTM, financial assets at FVTPL or loans and receivables, are classified as AFS. Financial assets can be designated as AFS on initial recognition. AFS financial assets are initially recognized at fair value, plus directly related transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at fair value. Unquoted equity investments whose fair value cannot be measured reliably are carried at cost and classified as AFS financial assets. Impairment losses in monetary and non-monetary AFS financial assets and dividends on non-monetary financial assets are recognized in net income. Interest revenue on monetary financial assets is calculated using the effective interest method. Other changes in the fair value of AFS financial assets and any related tax are reported in a separate component of shareholders’ equity until disposal, when the cumulative gain or loss is recognized in net income.

 

  c) HTM investments:

A financial asset may be classified as a HTM investment only if it has fixed or determinable payments, a fixed maturity and the Bank has the positive intention and ability to hold the financial asset to maturity. HTM investments are initially recognized at fair value, plus directly related transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any impairment losses.

 

  d) Loans and receivables:

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable repayments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables, except those that are classified as AFS or as held for trading, or designated as at FVTPL. Loans and receivables are initially recognized at fair value, plus directly related transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any impairment losses. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method, except for the short-term receivables to which the present value discount is not meaningful.

 

  2) Financial liabilities

On initial recognition financial liabilities are classified financial liabilities at FVTPL (held for trading and financial liabilities designated as at FVTPL) and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost.

A financial liability is classified as held for trading if it is incurred principally for repurchase in the near term, or forms part of a portfolio of financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of short-term profit taking, or it is a derivative (not in a qualifying hedge relationship). Held-for-trading financial liabilities are recognized at fair value with transaction costs being recognized in net income. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value. Gains and losses are recognized in net income as they arise.

A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:

 

    such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or

 

    the financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Bank’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or

 

- 12 -


    it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and K-IFRS 1039 permits the entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as at FVTPL.

Financial liabilities that the Bank designates on initial recognition as being at FVTPL are recognized at fair value, with transaction costs being recognized in net income, and are subsequently measured at fair value. Gains and losses on financial liabilities that are designated as at FVTPL are recognized in net income as they arise.

All other financial liabilities, such as deposits due to customers, borrowings, and debentures, are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

 

  3) Reclassifications

Held-for-trading and AFS financial assets that meet the definition of loans and receivables (non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market) may be reclassified to loans and receivables if the Bank has the intention and ability to hold the financial asset for the foreseeable future or until maturity. The Bank typically considers the foreseeable future as 12 months from the date of reclassification. Reclassifications are made at fair value. This fair value becomes the asset’s new cost or amortized cost as appropriate. Gains and losses recognized up to the date of reclassification are not reversed.

 

  4) Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities

The Bank derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual right to the cash flows from the asset is expired, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another company. If the Bank neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Bank recognizes its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Bank retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Bank continues to recognize the financial asset and also recognizes a collateralized borrowing for the proceeds received.

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulated gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognized in profit or loss.

On derecognition of a financial asset other than in its entirety (e.g., when the Bank retains an option to repurchase part of a transferred asset, or it retains a residual interest and such a retained interest indicates that the transferor has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and has retained control of the transferred asset), the Bank allocates the previous carrying amount of the financial asset between the part it continues to recognize under continuing involvement, and the part it no longer recognizes on the basis of the relative fair value of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part that is no longer recognized and the sum of the consideration received for the part that is no longer recognized and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss. A cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is allocated between the part that continues to be recognized and the part that is no longer recognized on the basis of the relative fair value of those parts.

The Bank derecognizes the financial liability, when Bank’s obligations are discharged, canceled or expired. The difference between paid cost and the carrying amount of financial liabilities is recorded in profit or loss.

 

  5) Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

Financial instruments classified as held for trading or designated as at FVTPL and financial assets classified as AFS are recognized in the separate financial statements at fair value. All derivatives are measured at fair value.

 

- 13 -


Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in and orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair values are determined from quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets or financial liabilities where these are available. The Bank characterizes active markets as those in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Where a financial instrument is not in active market characterized by low transaction volumes, price quotations that vary substantially among market participants, or in which minimal information is released publicly, fair values are established using valuation techniques that rely on alternative market data or internally developed models using significant inputs that are generally readily observable from objective sources. Market data includes prices of financial instruments with similar maturities and characteristics, duration, interest rate yield curves, and measures of volatility. The amount determined to be fair value may incorporate the management of the Bank’s own assumptions (including assumptions that the Bank believes market participants would use in valuing the financial instruments and assumptions relating to appropriate risk adjustments for nonperformance and lack of marketability).

The valuation techniques used to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments include market approach and income approach, each of which involves a significant degree of judgment. Under the market approach, fair value is determined by reference to a recent transaction involving the financial instruments or by reference to observable valuation measures for comparable companies or assets.

Under the income approach, fair value is determined by converting future amounts (e.g., cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted) using current market expectations about the future amounts. In determining value under this approach, the Bank makes assumptions regarding, among other things, revenues, operating income, depreciation and amortization, capital expenditures, income taxes, working capital needs and terminal value of the financial investments. These valuation techniques involve a degree of estimation, the extent of which depends on the instrument’s complexity and the availability of market-based data.

The following are descriptions of valuation methodologies used by the Bank to measure various financial instruments at fair value.

 

  a) Financial assets at FVTPL and AFS financial assets:

The fair value of the securities included in financial assets at FVTPL and AFS financial assets are recognized in the separate statements of financial position based on quoted market prices, where available. For debt securities traded in the Over-The-Counter (“OTC”) market, the Bank generally determines fair value based on prices obtained from independent pricing services. Specifically, with respect to independent pricing services, the Bank obtains three prices per instrument from reputable independent pricing services in Korea, and generally uses the lowest of the prices obtained from such services without further adjustment. For non-marketable equity securities, the Bank obtains prices from the independent pricing services. The Bank validates prices received from such independent pricing services using a variety of means, including verification of the qualification of the independent pricing services, corroboration of the pricing by comparing the prices among the independent pricing services and by reference to other available market data, and review of the pricing model and assumptions used by the independent pricing services by the Bank’s personnel who are familiar with market-related conditions.

 

  b) Derivative assets and liabilities:

Quoted market prices are used for the Bank’s exchange-traded derivatives, such as certain interest rate futures and option contracts. All of the Bank’s derivatives are traded in the OTC markets where quoted market prices are not readily available and are valued using internal valuation techniques. Valuation techniques and inputs to internally developed models depend on the type of derivative and nature of the underlying rate, price or index upon which the derivative’s value is based. If the model inputs for certain derivatives are not observable in a liquid market, significant judgments on the level of inputs used for valuation techniques are required.

 

- 14 -


  c) Valuation Adjustments:

Using derivatives, the Bank is exposed to credit risk if counterparties to the derivative contracts do not perform as expected. If counterparty fails to perform, counterparty credit risk is equal to the amount reported as a derivative asset in the separate statements of financial position. The amounts reported as a derivative asset are derivative contracts in a gain position. Few of the Bank’s derivatives are listed on the exchange. The majority of derivative positions are valued using internally developed models that use observable market inputs as their basis. Therefore, an adjustment is necessary to reflect the credit quality of each counterparty to arrive at fair value. Counterparty credit risk adjustments are applied to derivative assets, such as OTC derivative instruments, when the market inputs used in valuation models may not be indicative of the creditworthiness of the counterparty. Adjustments are also made when valuing financial liabilities to reflect the Bank’s own credit standing.

The adjustment is based on probability of default of a counterparty and loss, given default. The adjustment also considers contractual factors designed to reduce the Bank’s credit exposure to each counterparty. To the extent derivative assets (liabilities) are subject to master netting arrangements, the exposure used to calculate the credit risk adjustment is net of derivatives in a loss (gain) position with the same counterparty and cash collateral received (paid).

 

  6) Impairment of the financial assets

The Bank assesses at the end of each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets classified as AFS, HTM or loans and receivables is impaired. A financial asset or portfolio of financial assets is impaired and an impairment loss incurred if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition asset and that event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset.

 

  a) Financial assets carried at amortized cost:

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on a financial asset or group of financial assets classified as HTM investments or as loans and receivables has been incurred, the Bank measures the amount of the loss as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset or group of assets and the present value of estimated future cash flows from the asset or group of assets discounted at the effective interest rate of the instrument at initial recognition. For collateralized loans and receivables, estimated future cash flows include cash flows that may result from foreclosure, less the costs of obtaining and selling the collateral.

Impairment losses are assessed individually for financial assets that are individually significant and assessed either individually or collectively for assets that are not individually significant. In making collective assessment of impairment, financial assets are grouped into portfolios on the basis of similar risk characteristics. Future cash flows from these portfolios are estimated on the basis of the contractual cash flows and historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics. Historical loss experience is adjusted, on the basis of observable data, to reflect current conditions not affecting the period of historical experience.

Impairment losses are recognized in net income and the carrying amount of the financial asset or group of financial assets reduced by establishing a provision for impairment losses. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss reduces and the reduction can be ascribed to an event after the impairment was recognized (i.e., improvement in the credit quality of a debtor), the previously recognized loss is reversed by adjusting the provision. Once an impairment loss has been recognized on a financial asset or group of financial assets, interest income is recognized on the carrying amount using the rate of interest at which estimated future cash flows were discounted in measuring impairment.

It is not the Bank’s usual practice to write off the asset at the time an impairment loss is recognized. Impaired loans and receivables are written off (i.e., the impairment provision is applied in writing down the loan’s carrying value in full) when the Bank concludes that there is no longer any realistic prospect of recovery of part or the entire loan. Amounts recovered after a loan has been written off are reflected to the provision for the period in which they are received.

 

- 15 -


  b) Financial assets carried at fair value:

When a decline in the fair value of a financial asset classified as AFS has been recognized directly in other comprehensive income and there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, the cumulative loss is removed from other comprehensive income and recognized in net income. The loss is measured as the difference between the amortized cost of the financial asset and its current fair value. Impairment losses on AFS equity instruments are not reversed through net income, but those on AFS debt instruments are reversed, if there is a decrease in the cumulative impairment loss that is objectively related to a subsequent event.

 

(8) Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are presented net in the separate statements of financial position when the Bank has an enforceable legal right to set off and an intention to settle on a net basis or to realize an asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

 

(9) Investment properties

The Bank classifies a property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation as an investment property. Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs, less subsequent depreciation and impairment.

Subsequent costs are included in the carrying amount of the asset or recognized as a separate asset if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the assets will flow into the Bank and the cost of an asset can be measured reliably. Routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

While land is not depreciated, all other investment properties are depreciated based on the respective asset’s estimated useful life using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any change in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

An investment property is derecognized from the separate financial statements on disposal or when it is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected even from its disposal. The gain or loss on the derecognition of an investment property is calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the property, and is recognized in profit or loss in the period of the derecognition.

 

(10) Premises and equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of an item of premises and equipment is directly attributable to their purchase or construction, which includes any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. It also includes the initial estimate of costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.

Subsequent costs to replace part of the premises and equipment are recognized in the carrying amount of an asset or as an asset if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the assets will flow into the Bank and the cost of an asset can be measured reliably. Routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

While land is not depreciated, for all other premises and equipment, depreciation is charged to net income on a straight-line basis on the estimated economic useful lives as follows:

 

     Useful life

Buildings used for business purpose

   40 years

Structures in leased office

   5 years

Properties for business purpose

   5 years

 

- 16 -


The Bank reassesses the depreciation method, the estimated useful lives and residual values of premises and equipment at the end of each reporting period. If expectations differ from previous estimates, the changes are accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate. When the carrying amount of a fixed asset exceeds the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount of such asset is reduced to the recoverable amount.

 

(11) Intangible assets and goodwill

Intangible assets are stated at the manufacturing cost or acquisition cost plus additional incidental expenses less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. The Bank’s software and industrial property right (trademark) are amortized over five years using the straight-line method. The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. If expectations differ from previous estimates, the changes are accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.

 

     Useful life

Industrial property rights

   10 years

Development costs

   5 years

Other intangible assets

   5 years

In addition, when an indicator that intangible assets are impaired is noted, and the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount immediately.

For impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Bank’s cash-generating units (or groups of cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit on a pro rata basis based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognized directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

 

(12) Impairment of non-monetary assets

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives or intangible assets that are not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, regardless of whether or not there is any indication of impairment. All other assets are tested for impairment when there is an objective indication that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, and if the indication exists. The Bank estimates the recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of value in use or net fair value, less costs to sell. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and such impairment loss is recognized immediately in net income.

 

(13) Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

 

  1) As a lessor

Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recognized as receivables at the amount of the Bank’s net investment in the leases being the minimum lease payments and any unguaranteed residual value discount interest rate implicit in the lease. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the Bank’s net investment outstanding in respect of the leases.

Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating lease assets are included within others in other assets and depreciated over their useful lives.

 

- 17 -


  2) As a lessee

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognized as assets of the Bank at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the separate statements of financial position as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Contingent rentals arising under finance leases are recognized as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

 

(14) Derivative instruments

Derivative instruments are classified as forwards, futures, options and swaps, depending on the types of transactions and are classified as either trading or hedging if they are qualified for hedge accounting. Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contract is entered and are subsequently measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in net income immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument.

A derivative embedded in a contract is accounted for as a stand-alone derivative if its economic characteristics are not closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract; unless the entire contract is measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income.

The Bank designates certain hedging instruments to (a) hedge of the exposure to changes in fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment (fair value hedge), (b) hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecasted transaction (cash flow hedge) and (c) hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.

At the inception of the hedge relationship, the Bank documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Bank documents whether the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item.

 

  1) Fair value hedge

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualified as fair value hedges are recognized in net income immediately, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the Bank revokes the hedging relationship or when the hedging instrument is no longer qualified for hedge accounting. The fair value adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item is amortized to net income from that date to maturity using the effective interest method.

 

(15) Assets (or disposal group) held for sale

The Bank classifies a non-current asset (or disposal group) as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

 

- 18 -


(16) Provisions

The Bank recognizes provision if it has present or contractual obligations as a result of the past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation is reliably estimated. Provision is not recognized for the future operating losses.

The Bank recognizes provision related to the payment guarantees, loan commitment and litigations. Where the Bank is required to restore a leased property that is used as a branch to an agreed condition after the contractual term expires, the present value of expected amounts to be used to dispose, decommission or repair the facilities is recognized as an asset retirement obligation.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the probability that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the obligations as a whole. Although the likelihood of outflow for any one item may be small, if it is probable that some outflow of resources will be needed to settle the obligations as a whole, a provision is recognized.

 

(17) Capital and compound financial instruments

The Bank classifies a financial instrument that it issues as a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. An instrument is classified as a liability if it is a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset, or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities on potentially unfavorable terms. An instrument is classified as equity if it evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Bank after the deduction of liabilities. The components of a compound financial instrument issued by the Bank are classified and accounted for separately as financial liabilities or equity as appropriate.

If the Bank reacquires its own equity instruments, those instruments (“treasury shares”) are presented as a deduction from total equity. The gain or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of treasury shares is not recognized in net income but recognized directly in equity.

 

(18) Financial guarantee contracts

Under a financial guarantee contract, the Bank, in return for a fee, undertakes to meet a customer’s obligations under the terms of a debt instrument if the customer fails to do so.

A financial guarantee is recognized as a liability; initially at fair value and, if not designated as at FVTPL, subsequently at the higher of its initial value, less cumulative amortization and any provision under the contract measured in accordance with provision policy. Amortization is calculated to recognize fees receivable in net income over the period of the guarantee.

 

(19) Employee benefits and pensions

The Bank recognizes the undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expecting payment in exchange for the services when employee renders services. Also, the Bank recognizes expenses and liabilities in the case of accumulating compensated absences when the employees render service that increases their entitlement to future compensated absences. Though the Bank may have no legal obligation to pay a bonus, considering some cases, the Bank has a practice of paying bonuses. In such cases, the Bank has a constructive obligation and, thus, recognizes expenses and liabilities when the employees render service.

The Bank is operating defined contribution retirement pension plans and defined benefit retirement pension plans. Contributions to defined contribution retirement pension plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions. For defined benefit retirement pension plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each reporting period. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is reflected immediately in the separate statement of financial position with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur.

 

- 19 -


Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognized in profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are composed of service cost (including current service cost and past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements), net interest expense (income) and remeasurement.

The Bank presents the service cost and net interest expense (income) components in profit or loss, and the remeasurement component in other comprehensive income. Curtailment gains and losses are accounted for as past service costs.

The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the separate statement of financial position represents the actual deficit or surplus in the Bank’s defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

Liabilities for termination benefits are recognized at the earlier of either 1) when the Bank is not able to cancel its proposal for termination benefits or 2) when the Bank has recognized the cost of restructuring that accompanies the payment of termination benefits.

 

(20) Income taxes

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Current income tax expense approximates taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period and deferred income tax expense is provided using an asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, including operating losses and tax credit carryforwards, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. Deferred income tax benefit or expense is then recognized for the change in deferred tax assets or liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates on the date of enactment or substantive enactment that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized. Deferred tax assets, including the carryforwards of unused tax losses, are recognized to the extent it is probable that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset if, and only if, the Bank has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities, and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities that intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred taxes are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

 

(21) Earnings per share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS is calculated by net income attributable to ordinary shareholders, less the dividends paid to holders of preferred stock and hybrid securities, divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the earnings and number of shares for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The significant accounting estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experiences and various factors, including expectations of future events that are considered to be reasonable. Actual results can differ from those estimates based on such definitions. The accounting estimates and assumptions, which involve potential significant risks that may materially impact the book values of assets and liabilities in the Bank’s separated financial statements are as follows:

 

(1) Income taxes

The Bank is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions, which requires significant judgment in determining realization of deferred tax. Actual tax payment may be different from the provision estimate and such difference may affect the income tax expense. There are various transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Deferred tax assets relating to tax losses carried forward and deductible temporary differences are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the tax losses carried forward and the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. This assessment requires significant management estimates and judgments. Future taxable profit is estimated based on, among other relevant factors, forecasted operating results, which are based on historical financial performance. In the event the Bank was to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred income tax assets in the future at an amount different than their net recorded amount, the Bank would make an adjustment to the provision for income taxes at such time.

 

(2) Valuation of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments classified as held-for trading or designated as at FVTPL and financial instruments classified as AFS are recognized in the separate financial statements at fair value. All derivatives are measured at fair value. Financial instruments, which are not traded in active market will have less objective fair value and require broad judgment in liquidity, concentration, uncertainty in market factors and assumption in price determination and other risks. The fair value of those assets is established by using valuation techniques.

As described in the significant accounting policies in Note 2-(7)-5), ‘Fair value of financial assets and liabilities’, a range of valuation techniques, which include market approach and income approach and internally developed models that incorporate various types of assumptions and variables, is used to determine the fair value of financial instruments.

 

(3) Impairment of loans and receivables

Impairment loss for loans and receivables carried at amortized cost is measured as the difference between such assets’ carrying value and the present value of estimated recoverable cash flows (not include any future loss events that have not occurred), discounted by using the initial effective interest rate. After initial recognition, when the estimated cash flow of the financial asset is affected by one or more loss events, it is determined that the financial asset is impaired.

The objective evidences that a financial asset is impaired incorporate below loss events:

 

  1) Financial assets that are individually assessed

 

    Past due
    Debt restructuring
    Possible state of debtor’s bankruptcy or liquidation
    Occurrence of significant impairment on securities
    Breach of limit or debt covenant
    Deterioration of operating performance

 

  2) Financial assets that are not individually assessed

 

    Repayment status of debtor or observable macroeconomic indexes

 

- 21 -


The Bank first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant (individual evaluation of impairment) and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Bank determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment (“collective evaluation of impairment”).

There are two components to the Bank’s loan impairment provisions (individual and collective).

Individual assessment of impairment losses is performed by discounting the expected future cash flows of a loan at its original effective interest rate and comparing the resultant present value with the loan’s carrying amount. This process normally encompasses management’s best estimate, such as operating cash flow of debtor and net realizable value of any collateral held and the timing of anticipated receipts.

Collective assessment of impairment losses is performed on a portfolio basis using the methodology based on historical loss experience. The methodology based on historical loss experience is used to estimate inherent incurred loss on groups of assets for collective evaluation of impairment. Such methodology incorporates factors such as type of product and debtors, credit rating, portfolio size, loss-emergence period and recovery period and applies probability of default on each asset (or pool of assets) and loss given default by type of collateral. Also, consistent assumptions are applied to form a formula-based model in estimating inherent loss and to determine factors on the basis of historical loss experience and current condition. The methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows are reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience.

 

(4) Defined benefit plan

The Bank operates defined benefit retirement pension plans. Defined benefit retirement pension plans are measured through actuarial valuation and the Bank estimates discount rate, future wage growth rate and mortality ratio to produce actuarial valuation. Defined benefit retirement pension plans contain significant uncertainty in these estimates due to their long-term characteristic.

 

4. RISK MANAGEMENT:

The Bank’s operating activity is exposed to various financial risks; hence, the Bank is required to analyze and assess the level of complex risks, determine the level of risks to be accepted or to manage the risks.

The Bank’s risk management procedure is set for improvement in the quality of assets held and investments by making a decision about how to avoid or mitigate risks through the identification of the cause of the potential risks and their impacts.

The Bank takes approaches to minimize risks and maximize profits by managing risks acceptable to the Bank and eliminating excessive risks of financial instruments. For these approaches, the following procedures are performed: risk recognition, measurement and assessment, control, and monitoring and reporting.

The risk is managed by the risk management department based on the Bank’s risk management policy. The Risk Management Committee of the Bank makes the decision on the risk management strategy such as the avoidance of concentration of risk and establishment of acceptable level of risks.

 

(1) Credit risk

Credit risk represents the possibility of financial losses incurred when the counterparty fails to fulfill its contractual obligations. The goal of credit risk management is to maintain the credit risk exposure to a permissible degree and to optimize the rate of return considering such credit risk.

 

  1) Credit risk management

The Bank considers the probability of failure in performing the obligation of its counterparties, credit exposure to the counterparty, the related default risk and the rate of default loss. The Bank uses the credit rating model to assess the possibility of counterparty’s default risk; and when assessing the obligor’s credit grade, the Bank utilizes credit grades derived using statistical methods.

 

- 22 -


In order to manage credit risk limit, the Bank establishes the appropriate credit line per obligor, company or industry. It monitors obligor’s credit line, total exposures and loan portfolios when approving the loan.

The Bank mitigates credit risk resulting from the obligor’s credit condition by using financial and physical collateral, guarantees, netting agreements and credit derivatives. The Bank has adopted the entrapment method to mitigate its credit risk. Credit risk mitigation is reflected in qualifying financial collateral, trade receivables, guarantees, residential and commercial real estate and other collaterals. The Bank regularly performs a revaluation of collateral reflecting such credit risk mitigation.

 

  2) Maximum exposure to credit risk

The Bank’s maximum exposure to credit risk refers to net book value of financial assets net of allowances, which shows the uncertainties of maximum changes of net value of financial assets attributable to a particular risk without considering collateral and other credit enhancements obtained. However, the maximum exposure is the fair value amount (recorded on the books) for derivatives, maximum contractual obligation for payment guarantees and loan commitment for loan contracts.

The maximum exposure to credit risk is as follows (Unit: Korean won in millions):

(2) Market risk

Market risk is the possible risk of loss arising from trading and non-trading activities in the volatility of market factors such as interest rates, stock prices, and foreign exchange rates. Market risk occurs as a result of changes in the interest rates and foreign exchange rates for financial instruments that are not yet settled, and all contracts are exposed to a certain level of volatility according to the interest rates, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates and the price of equity securities.

 

  1) Market risk management

For trading activities and non-trading activities, the Bank avoids, bears or mitigates risks by identifying the underlying source of risks, measuring parameters and evaluating their appropriateness.

The Bank uses both a standard-based and an internal model-based approach to measure market risk. The standard-based approach is used to calculate individual market risk of owned capital while the internal model-based approach is used to calculate general capital market risk and it is used to measure internal risk management measure.

The Bank measures Value at Risk (“VaR,” maximum losses) with Historical Simulation Method based on 99% confidence level and 10-day holding period of positions, and calculates the required market risk capital using the internal model, which has been approved by Financial Supervisory Service in Korea. For the internal management purpose, VaR is measured based on 99% confidence level and one-day holding period of positions and the limit management is performed on a daily basis. The validation of the model is assessed through the performance of back testing, which is to compare the actual gain or loss to the VaR measurements on a daily basis.

In addition, for crisis management, the Bank performs stress testing on a monthly basis, which is to measure the expected loss amount in case of extreme situation, such as IMF bailout in 1997 or global financial crisis in 2008.

At the beginning of each year, the Risk Management Committee establishes the VaR limit, loss limit and risk capital limit for its management purposes. Limit by investment desk/dealer is independently managed to the extent of the limit given to each department of the Bank and the limit by investment and loss cut is managed by risk management personnel within the department.

  2) Sensitivity analysis of market risk

The Bank performs sensitivity analysis, both for trading and for non-trading activities.

For trading activities, the Bank uses a VaR model, which uses certain assumptions of possible fluctuations in market condition and, by conducting simulations of gains and losses, under which the model estimates the maximum losses that may occur. A VaR model predicts based on statistics of possible losses on the portfolio at a certain period currently or in the future. It indicates the maximum expected loss with at least 99% credibility. In short, there exists a 1% possibility that the actual loss might exceed the predicted loss generated from the VaR’s calculation. The actual results are periodically monitored to examine the validity of the assumptions and variables and factors that are used in VaR’s calculations. However, this approach cannot prevent the loss when the market fluctuation exceeds expectation.

For the non-trading activities, the interest rate risk is managed and measured based on the analysis of the Net Interest Income (“NII”) and Net Portfolio Value (“NPV”) by the scenarios. NII is a profit-based indicator for displaying the profit changes in the short term due to the short-term interest changes. It will be estimated as subtracting interest expenses of liabilities from the interest income of assets. NPV is an indicator for displaying risks in an economic view according to unfavorable changes related to interest rate. It will be estimated as subtracting the present value of liabilities from the present value of assets.

(3) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Bank may encounter difficulties in meeting obligations from its financial liabilities.

 

  1) Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk management is to prevent potential cash shortage as a result of mismatching the use of funds (assets) and sources of funds (liabilities) or unexpected cash outflows. The financial liabilities that are relevant to liquidity risk are incorporated within the scope of risk management. Derivative instruments are excluded from those financial liabilities as they reflect expected cash flows for a predetermined period.

Assets and liabilities are grouped by account under Asset Liability Management in accordance with the characteristics of the account. The Bank manages liquidity risk by identifying maturity gap, and then gap ratio through performing various cash flows analysis (i.e., based on remaining maturity and contract period, etc.), while maintaining the gap ratio at or below the target limit.

 

  2) Maturity analysis of non-derivative financial liabilities

 

  a) Cash flows of principals and interests by remaining contractual maturities of non-derivative financial liabilities are as follows (Unit: Korean won in millions):

  3) Maturity analysis of derivative financial liabilities is as follows (Unit: Korean won in millions):

Derivatives held for trading purposes are not managed in accordance with their contractual maturity since the Bank holds such financial instruments with the purpose of disposing or redemption before their maturity. As such, those derivatives are incorporated as “Within 3 months” in the table below.

The cash flow by the maturity of derivative financial liabilities as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, is as follows:

  4) Maturity analysis of off-balance accounts

The Bank provides guarantees on behalf of customers. A financial guarantee represents an irrevocable undertaking that the Bank should meet a customer’s obligations to third parties if the customer fails to do so. Under a loan commitment, the Bank agrees to make funds available to a customer in the future. Loan commitments that are usually for a specified term may persist or may be unconditionally cancelable, provided all conditions in the loan facility are satisfied or waived. Commitments to lend include commercial standby facilities and credit lines, liquidity facilities to commercial paper conduits and utilized overdraft facilities. The maximum limit to be paid by the Bank in accordance with guarantees and loan commitment only applies to principal amounts. There are contractual maturities for financial guarantees, such as guarantees for debentures issued or loans, loan commitments and other guarantees; however, under the terms of the guarantees and loan commitments, funds should be paid upon demand from the counterparty.

(4) Operational risk

The Bank defines the operational risk that could cause a negative effect on capital resulting from inadequate internal process, labor work and systematic problem or external factors.

 

  1) Operational risk management

The Bank has been running the operational risk management system under Basel II. The Bank developed advanced measurement approaches (“AMA”) to quantify required capital for operational risk. This system is used for reinforcement in foreign competitions, reducing the amount of risk capitals, managing the risk and precaution for any unexpected occasions. This system has been tested by an independent third party, and this system is approved by the Financial Supervisory Service.

 

  2) Operational risk measurement

To quantify the required capital for operational risk, the Bank applies AMA using internal and external loss data, business environment and internal control factors, and scenario analysis. For the operational risk management for its subsidiaries, the Bank adopted the Basic Indicator Approach.

 

(5) Capital management

The Bank complies with the capital adequacy standard established by the Financial Services Commission. The capital adequacy standard is based on Basel III published by Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in Bank of International Settlements in 2010 and was implemented in Korea in December 2013. The capital adequacy ratio is calculated by dividing own capital by asset (weighted with a risk premium – risk weighted assets) based on the separate financial statements of the Bank.

The Bank is required to maintain a minimum common equity Tier 1 ratio of at least 6.25% and 5.38%, a minimum Tier 1 ratio of 7.75% and 6.88% and a minimum total regulatory capital of 9.75% and 8.88% as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

11. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES:

 

(1) The fair value hierarchy

The fair value hierarchy is determined by the levels of judgment involved in estimating fair values of financial assets and liabilities. The specific financial instruments’ characteristics and market conditions, such as volume of transactions and transparency, are reflected to the market observable inputs. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Bank maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value of its financial assets and financial liabilities. Fair value is measured based on the perspective of a market participant. As such, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Bank’s own assumptions reflect those that market participants would use for measuring the assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

The fair value measurement is described in one of the following three levels used to classify fair value measurements:

 

    Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The types of financial assets or liabilities generally included in Level 1 are publicly traded equity securities, derivatives and debt securities issued by governmental bodies.

 

    Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly (i.e., prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices). The types of financial assets or liabilities generally included in Level 2 are debt securities not traded in active markets and derivatives traded in the OTC market but do not require significant judgment.

 

    Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). The types of financial assets or liabilities generally included in Level 3 are non-public securities and derivatives and debt securities whose valuation techniques require significant judgments and subjectivity.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Bank’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to a fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of inherent factors of the asset or liability.

(*1) There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The Bank recognizes transfers among levels at the end of reporting period in which events have occurred or conditions have changed.
(*2) Certain AFS unquoted equity securities were measured at cost as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, that amounted to 17,260 million won and 38,401 million won, respectively. These unquoted equity instruments mostly represent minority investments in structured entity vehicles, such as asset securitization structures. They are measured at cost because (a) observable inputs of financial information to measure fair value were not available to obtain, (b) there was a significant variance in likely estimated cash flows or (c) the probabilities for various estimated cash flows could not be measured reliably. In addition, the Bank has no intention to dispose these investments in the foreseeable future.

Certain financial assets are carried at cost, even though K-IFRS requires them to be subsequently measured at their fair value, since they do not have quoted market prices in an active market and cannot be measured at fair value reliably. The carrying amount of the financial assets that have been disposed for the year ended December 31, 2017, is 1,266 million won, and the related loss from the disposals is 102 million won.

Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL, AFS financial assets, held-for-trading financial assets and liabilities and derivative assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value. Fair value is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Financial instruments are measured at fair value using a quoted market price in active markets. If there is no active market for a financial instrument, the Bank establishes the fair value using valuation techniques. Fair value measurement methods for each type of financial instruments are as follows:

 

    

Fair value measurement technique

  

Input variables

Debt securities

  

The fair value is measured by discounting the projected cash flows of debt securities by applying the market discount rate that has been applied to a proxy company that has similar credit rating to the issuers of the securities.

  

Risk-free market rate, credit spread

Equity securities

and beneficiary certificates

  

Among Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) model, free cash flow to equity model, comparable company analysis, dividend discount model, risk-adjusted rate of return method and net asset value method, more than one method is used given the characteristic of the subject of fair value measurement.

  

Risk-free market rate, market risk premium, Beta, etc.

    

Fair value measurement technique

  

Input variables

Derivatives

  

The in-house developed model is based on the models that are used by market participants in the valuation of general OTC derivative products, such as options, interest rate swaps, currency swap and currency forward that are based on inputs observable in the market. However, for some complicated financial instruments whose valuation should be based on some assumptions since some significant or all inputs to be used in the model are not observable in the market, the in-house derived model is developed from the general valuation models, such as Finite Difference Method (“FDM”) or Monte Carlo Simulation.

  

Risk-free market rate, forward rate, volatility, foreign exchange rate, stock prices, etc.

Equity-linked securities

  

The fair value of security linked to stock prices or derivatives is measured by the models such as DCF model, FDM model or Monte Carlo Simulation given the natures of the securities or underlying assets.

  

Values of underlying assets, risk-free market rate, market rate, dividend and convenience yield, volatility, correlation coefficient, credit spread and foreign exchange rate

Debentures

  

The fair value is measured by discounting the projected cash flows of a debenture by applying the market discount rate that is reflecting credit rating of the Bank.

  

Risk-free market rate of return and forward rate

Correlation coefficient

  0.900–0.980  

Variation of fair value increases as correlation coefficient increases.

   

Volatility of underlying asset

  12.1%–28.1%  

Variation of fair value increases as volatility increases.

Derivative liabilities  

Option valuation model and others

 

Correlation coefficient

  0.900–0.980  

Variation of fair value increases as correlation coefficient increases.

   

Volatility of underlying asset

  12.1%–28.1%  

Variation of fair value increases as volatility increases.

Equity-linked securities  

Monte Carlo Simulation and others

 

Correlation coefficient

  0.363–0.694  

Equity-linked securities’ variation of fair value increases if both volatility and correlation coefficient increase. However, when correlation coefficient decreases despite the increase in volatility, the variation of fair value of a compound financial instrument may decrease.

   

Volatility of underlying asset

  6.8%–58.9%  

Equity securities and beneficiary certificates

 

External appraisal value and others

 

Expected growth rate

  0.0%–1.0%  

Fair value increases as expected growth rate increases.

   

Volatility of real estate sale price

  0%  

Fair value increases as sale price increases.

   

Discount rate of lease cash flow and others

  8.31%–8.54%  

Fair value increases as discount rate of lease cash flow decreases.

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities classified into Level 3 is measured by the Bank using its own valuation techniques or using external specialists. Unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements are produced by the internal system of the Bank and the appropriateness of inputs is audited regularly.

(*1) The loss amounting to 92,721 million won for the year ended December 31, 2016, which is from financial assets and liabilities that the Bank holds as at the end of the periods, has been recognized in net gain (loss) on financial instruments at FVTPL and net gain (loss) on AFS financial assets in the separate statement of comprehensive income.
(*2) The Bank recognizes transfers among levels at the end of reporting period within which events have occurred or conditions have changed.
(*3) As the variables used for the valuation of equity- and interest-related derivatives became observable in the market, such derivatives were transferred into Level 2 from Level 3.
(*4) AFS financial assets were transferred out of Level 1 to Level 3 upon the change of the fair value measurement method of the assets by using market. When the external valuation specialists previously used quoted prices in the active market, in the opposite case, they were transferred out of Level 3 to Level 1.

 

(4) Sensitivity analysis on the unobservable inputs used for measuring Level 3 financial instruments

The sensitivity analysis of the financial instruments has been performed by classifying favorable and unfavorable changes based on how changes in unobservable assumptions have effects on the fluctuations of financial instruments’ value. When the fair value of a financial instrument is affected by more than one unobservable assumption, the below table reflects the most favorable or the most unfavorable changes that result from varying the assumptions individually. The sensitivity analysis was performed for two types of Level 3 financial instruments: (1) interest rate-related derivatives, currency-related derivatives, equity-related derivatives and equity-linked securities whose fair value changes are recognized as net income and (2) equity securities and beneficiary certificates whose fair value changes are recognized as other comprehensive income. Equity securities classified as Level 3 but measured at costs are excluded from sensitivity analysis.

The following table shows the sensitivity analysis to disclose the effect of reasonably possible volatility on the fair value of Level 3 financial instruments for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 (Unit: Korean won in millions):

(*3) Fair value changes of equity securities are calculated by increasing or decreasing growth rate (0%–1%) and discount rate or liquidation value (-1%–1%) and discount rate. The growth rate, discount rate and liquidation value are major unobservable variables.
(*4) Among the equity securities, even if the sensitivity analysis of the capital contributions and beneficiary certificates is not possible in practice, fair value changes of beneficiary certificates and other securities whose major unobservable variables are composed of the real estate are calculated by increasing or decreasing price fluctuation of real estate, which is underlying assets and discount rate by 1%.

The fair values of financial instruments are measured using quoted market price in active markets. In case there is no active market for financial instruments, the Bank determines the fair value using alternative assumptions through developing fair value measurement methods. Alternative assumptions and fair value measurement methods for financial assets and liabilities that are measured at amortized costs are given as follows:

12. DERECOGNITION AND OFFSET OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

 

(1) Derecognition of financial assets

 

  1) Transferred financial assets that meet condition of derecognition

The book value and fair value of continuous participation and maximum exposure to loss from the financial assets that were derecognized from the separate financial statements of the Bank through disposals, although the Bank still has continuous involvements, are as follows (Unit: Korean won in millions):

   Post-settlement      —          —          —    

 

(*) The post-settlement had been settled and there are no financial instruments that meet the derecognition conditions, but the Bank still has continuous involvements as of December 31, 2017.

   Post-settlement      —          —          701  

 

(*) As the amounts to be settled after the auction of collaterals are not fixed yet, expected cash flow cannot be reliably measured as of December 31, 2016, and the maximum exposure to loss is disclosed at the transfer price. Though the transfer does not qualify for derecognition in accordance with K-IFRS 1039, the Bank derecognized the financial asset from the separate financial statements applying the exception for retrospective application of transactions before the date of transition to K-IFRSs in K-IFRS 1101 – First-time Adoption of K-IFRS.

 

  2) Transferred financial assets that do not meet the condition of derecognition

 

  a) Disposal of securities under repurchase agreements

The financial instruments that were disposed but the Bank agreed to repurchase at the fixed amounts at the same time, so that they did not meet the conditions of derecognition, are as follows (Unit: Korean won in millions):

 

          December 31,
2017
     December 31,

Assets transferred

   AFS financial assets      9,998        220,098

- 49 -


  b) Securities loaned

When the Bank loans its securities to outside parties, the legal ownerships of the securities are transferred; however, they should be returned at the end of lending period. Therefore, the Bank does not derecognize them from the separate financial statements as it owns majority of risks and benefits from the securities continuously, regardless of the transfer of legal ownership. The carrying amounts of the securities loaned are as follows (Unit: Korean won in millions):

 

          December 31,
2017
     December 31,
2016
    

Loaned to

Financial assets at FVTPL

  

Korean equity securities

     —          4,459     

Samsung Securities Co., Ltd. and others

AFS financial assets

  

Korean treasury and government agencies and others

     170,256        493,579     

Korea Securities Finance Corporation and others

     

 

 

    

 

 

    
  

Total

     170,256        498,038     
     

 

 

    

 

 

    

The details of the transferred financial assets that are not derecognized in their entirety, such as disposal of securities under repurchase agreement or securities loaned, are explained in Note 18.

 

(2) The offset of financial assets and liabilities

The Bank possesses both the uncollected domestic exchange receivables and the unpaid domestic exchange payable, which satisfy offsetting criteria of K-IFRS 1032. Therefore, the total number of uncollected domestic exchange receivables or unpaid domestic exchange payable has been countervailed with part of unpaid domestic exchange payable or uncollected domestic exchange receivables and has been disclosed in loans and receivables or other financial liabilities of the Bank’s separate statements of financial position.

The Bank possesses the derivative assets, derivative liabilities, receivable spot exchange and payable spot exchange that do not satisfy the offsetting criteria of K-IFRS 1032, but provide the Bank under the circumstances of the trading party’s defaults, insolvency or bankruptcy, the right of offsetting. Item such as cash collateral cannot satisfy the offsetting criteria of K-IFRS 1032, but in accordance with the collateral arrangements and under the circumstances of the trading party’s default, insolvency or bankruptcy, the derivative assets, derivative liabilities, receivable spot exchange and net amount of payable spot exchange can be offset.

The Bank has entered into a sale and repurchase agreement and accounted it as a collateralized borrowing. The Bank has also entered into a purchase and resale agreement and accounted it as a secured loan. The repurchase and resale agreements can have the offsetting right only under the trading party’s default, insolvency or bankruptcy, which do not satisfy the offsetting criteria of K-IFRS 1032. The Bank recorded the collateralized borrowing in borrowings and the secured loans in loans and receivables. The Bank under the repurchase agreements has offsetting right only upon the counterparty’s default, insolvency or bankruptcy; thus, the repurchase agreements are applied by the TBMA/ISMA Global Master Repurchase Agreement, which does not satisfy the offsetting criteria of K-IFRS 1032. The Bank disclosed bonds sold (purchased) under repurchase agreements as borrowings (loans and receivables).

24. NET DEFINED BENEFIT LIABILITIES (ASSETS):

Characteristics of the Bank’s defined benefit plans are as follows:

Employees and directors with one or more years of service are entitled to receive a payment upon termination of their employment, based on their length of service and salary at the time of termination. The assets of the plans are measured at fair value at the end of reporting date. Plan liabilities are measured using the projected unit method, which takes account of projected earnings increase, using actuarial assumptions that give the best estimate of the future cash flows that will arise under the plan liabilities.

The Bank is exposed to various risks through defined benefit retirement pension plan, and the most significant risks are as follows:

 

Volatility of asset

  

The defined benefit obligation was estimated with an interest rate calculated based on blue-chip corporate bonds’ earnings. A deficit may occur if the rate of return of plan assets falls short of the interest rate.

Decrease in profitability of blue- chip bonds

  

A decrease in profitability of blue-chip bonds will be offset by some increase in the value of debt securities that the employee benefit plan owns, but will bring an increase in the defined benefit obligation.

Risk of inflation

  

Defined benefit obligations are related to inflation rate; the higher the inflation rate is, the higher the level of liabilities. Therefore, deficit occurs in the system if an inflation rate increases.

The reserve and appropriation are an autonomous judgment matter of the Bank since 2015.

 

  v. Additional reserve

Additional reserve was appropriated for capital adequacy and other management purpose.

 

  vi. Regulatory reserve for credit loss

In accordance with Article 29 of the Regulation on Supervision of Banking Business (“RSBB”), if provisions for credit loss under K-IFRS for the accounting purpose are lower than provisions under RSBB, the Bank discloses such shortfall amount as regulatory reserve for credit loss.

Review Report on Internal Accounting Control System (“IACS”)

English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Korean

To the Chief Executive Officer of

Woori Bank

We have reviewed the accompanying Report on the Management’s Assessment of IACS (the “Management’s Report”) of Woori Bank (the “Bank”) as of December 31, 2017. The Management’s Report and the design and operation of IACS are the responsibility of the Bank’s management. Our responsibility is to review the Management’s Report and issue a review report based on our procedures. The Bank’s management stated in the accompanying Management’s Report that “based on the assessment of the IACS as of December 31, 2017, the Bank’s IACS has been appropriately designed and is operating effectively as of December 31, 2017, in all material respects, in accordance with the IACS Framework established by the Korea Listed Companies Association.”

We conducted our review in accordance with the IACS Review Standards established by the Korean Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and perform a review, objective of which is to obtain a lower level of assurance than an audit, of the Management’s Report in all material respects. A review includes obtaining an understanding of the Bank’s IACS; making inquiries regarding the Management’s Report; and, when deemed necessary, performing a limited inspection of underlying documents and other limited procedures.

The Bank’s IACS represents internal accounting policies and a system to manage and operate such policies to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial statements prepared, in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards, for preparing and disclosing reliable accounting information. Because of its inherent limitations, IACS may not prevent or detect a material misstatement of the financial statements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of IACS 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 the Management’s Report referred to above is not fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with the IACS Framework established by the Korea Listed Companies Association.

Our review is based on the Bank’s IACS as of December 31, 2017, and we did not review its IACS after December 31, 2017. This report has been prepared pursuant to the Acts on External Audit for Stock Companies in the Republic of Korea and may not be appropriate for other purposes or for other users.

Report on the Operations of

the Internal Accounting Control System

English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Korean on March 14, 2018

To the Board of Directors and Audit Committee of

Woori Bank

I, as the internal accounting control officer (“IACO”) of Woori Bank (“the Bank”), assessed the status of the design and operations of the Bank’s internal accounting control system (“IACS”) for the year ended December 31, 2017.

The Bank’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 the IACS standard for the assessment of design and operations of the Bank’s IACS.

Based on our assessment on the IACS as of December 31, 2017, the Bank’s IACS has been appropriately designed and is operating effectively as of December 31, 2017, in all material respects, in accordance with the IACS Framework established by the Korean Listed Companies Association.
