Independent Auditors’ Report

Based on a report originally issued in Korean

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Gravity Co., Ltd.:

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying separate financial statements of Gravity Co., Ltd (“the Company”), which comprise the separate statement of financial position as of December 31, 2019, the separate statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the separate financial statements comprising significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion, the accompanying separate financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the separate financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019, and its separate financial performance and its separate cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS”).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Separate Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the separate financial statements in the Republic of Korea, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Other Matters

The separate financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on March 25, 2019.

The procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to audit such separate financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Separate Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the separate financial statements in accordance with 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.

In preparing the separate financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Separate Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these separate financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

∙

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

∙

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

∙

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

∙

Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the separate financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

∙

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the separate financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

1. General Information

GRAVITY CO., LTD. (the “Company”) was incorporated on April 4, 2000, to engage in developing and distributing online games and other related business. The Company’s headquarter is located at 15F, 396 World Cup buk‑ro, Mapo‑gu, Seoul, Korea. On November 17, 2016, the Company has established a Gravity Taiwan Branch in Taipei City, Taiwan. The Company’s principal game product, “Ragnarok”, a massive multi-player online role-playing game, was commercially launched in August 2002, and is currently operated internationally in 93 markets. The Company also operates many other games.

On February 8, 2005, the Company listed its shares on Nasdaq Stock Market in the United States, and issued 1,400,000 shares of common stocks in the form of American Depositary shares (“ADSs”) under the symbol “GRVY”.

The Company started with total paid-in capital amount of W500,000 thousand, and as of December 31, 2019, the total paid-in capital amounts to W3,474,450 thousand. The Company’s major shareholders and their respective percentage of ownership as of December 31, 2019 are as follows:

	Number of shares	Ownership (%)
GungHo Online Entertainment, Inc.	4,121,737	59.31
Others	2,827,163	40.69
	6,948,900	100.00

2. Basis of Presentation

These separate financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS”), as prescribed in the Act on External Audits of Stock Companies, Etc. in the Republic of Korea.

These separate financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on March 6, 2020 which will be submitted for approval at the shareholders’ meeting to be held on March 31, 2020.

This is the first set of the Company’s annual separate financial statements in which K-IFRS No. 1116 Leases has been applied. The related changes to significant accounting policies are described in Note 3.

(1) Basis of measurement

The separate financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

Notes to the Financial Statements

2. Basis of Presentation, Continued

(2) Use of judgments and estimates

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

The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as follows:

(a) Deferred revenue

Revenue in connection with the game users’ payments for unused virtual currency and durable in-game items for online games are based on the estimated life cycle of game users by the Company. To estimate life cycle of games users, the Company analyzes player activities including item purchase, log-on, and others and periodically monitors for changes in estimates.

(b) Deferred tax assets

When the Company assessed the realizability of the deferred tax assets, the Company considered its performance, general economic environment, projected future taxable income, and periods available to utilize tax loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. The Company periodically monitors the estimates used in assessing the realizability of the deferred tax assets. The amount of deferred tax assets may be changed if estimated future taxable income during the carryforward periods changes.

3. Changes in Accounting Policies

The Company has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for the annual reporting period commencing January 1, 2019.

(1) Enactment of K-IFRS No. 1116 Leases

The Company applied K-IFRS No.1116 using the modified retrospective approach, under which the cumulative effect of initial application is recognized in retained earnings at January 1 2019(date of initial application). Accordingly, the comparative information presented for 2018 is not restated – i.e. it is presented, as previously reported, under K-IFRS No.1017 and related interpretations. The details of the changes in accounting policies are disclosed below. Additionally, the disclosure requirements in K-IFRS No. 1116 have not generally been applied to comparative information.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

3. Changes in Accounting Policies, Continued

(1) Enactment of K-IFRS No. 1116 Leases, Continued

(a) Definition of a lease

Previously, the Company determined at contract inception whether an arrangement was or contained a lease under K-IFRS No. 2104 Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease. The Company now assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the definition of a lease under K-IFRS No.1116.

On transition to K-IFRS No. 1116, the Company elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases. The Company applied K-IFRS No.1116 only to contracts that were previously identified as leases. Contracts that were not identified as leases under K-IFRS No.1017 and K-IFRS No. 2104 were not reassessed for whether there is a lease under K-IFRS No.1116. Therefore, the definition of a lease under K-IFRS No.1116 was applied only to contracts entered into or changed on or after January 1, 2019.

(b) As a lessee

As a lessee, the Company leases many assets including offices and vehicles. The Company previously classified leases as operating or finance leases based on its assessment of whether the lease transferred significantly all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset to the Company. Under K-IFRS No. 1116, the Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most of these leases – i.e. these leases are on-balance sheet.

However, for leases of property, the Company has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and associated non-lease components as a single lease component.

Previously, the Company classified property leases as operating leases under K-IFRS No.1017. On transition, for these leases, lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets are measured at either:

•

their carrying amount as if K-IFRS No.1116 had been applied since the commencement date, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application; or

•

an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments

3. Changes in Accounting Policies, Continued

(1) Enactment of K-IFRS No.1116 Leases, Continued

(b) As a lessee, Continued

The Company used a number of practical expedients when applying K-IFRS No.1116 to leases previously classified as operating leases under K-IFRS No.1017. In particular, the Company:

•

did not recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases for which the lease term ends within 12 months of the date of initial application;

•

did not recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases of low value assets;

•

excluded initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the initial application; and

•

used hindsight when determining the lease term.

The company sub-leases part of its right-of-use assets. Under K-IFRS No. 1017, the head lease and sub-lease contracts were classified as operating leases. The Company assessed the classification of the sub-lease contracts with reference to the right-of-use assets rather than the underlying asset, and concluded that they are finance leases under K-IFRS No.1116.

(d) Impact on financial statements

On transition to K-IFRS No.1116, the Company recognized additional right-of-use assets and additional lease liabilities. Additionally, the impact on transition is summarized below.

The lessee’s weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities on January 1, 2019 is 6.54%.

(2) Amendments to K-IFRS No. 1109 Financial Instruments

Amendments made to K-IFRS No.1109 Financial Instruments enable entities to measure certain financial assets containing prepayment features with negative compensation at amortized cost. The amendments also clarified that when a modification of a financial liability measured at amortized cost that does not result in the derecognition, a modification gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. The amendments did not have a significant impact on the separate financial statements.

(3) Amendment to K-IFRS No. 1028 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures

The amendments clarifies that an entity applies K-IFRS No. 1109 Financial Instruments to financial instruments in an associate or joint venture to which the equity method is not applied. These include impairment of long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the entity’s net investment in an associate or joint venture for which K-IFRS No.1109 should take precedence. The amendment does not have a significant impact on the separate financial statements.

(4) Enactment of K-IFRS No. 2123 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

K-IFRS No. 2123 clarifies how to recognize and measure deferred and current income tax assets and liabilities where there is uncertainty over a tax treatment, and includes guidance on how to determine whether each uncertain tax treatment is considered separately or together. It also presents examples of circumstances where a judgment or estimate is required to be reassessed. The adoption of K-IFRS No. 2123 did not have a significant impact on the separate financial statements.

(5) Annual Improvements

(a) Amendments to K-IFRS No. 1111 Joint Agreements

The amendments clarify that when a party that participates in, but does not have joint control of, a joint operation might obtain joint control of the joint operation in which the activity of the joint operation constitutes a business. In such cases, previously held interests in the joint operation are not remeasured. The amendments did not have a significant impact on the separate financial statements.

(b) Amendment to Paragraph 57A of K-IFRS No. 1012 Income Tax

The amendment is applied to all the income tax consequences of dividends and requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of dividends in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity according to where the entity originally recognized those past transactions or events. The amendment did not have a significant impact on the separate financial statements.

The amendments clarify that if a specific borrowing remains outstanding after the related qualifying asset is ready for its intended use (or sale), it becomes part of general borrowings. The amendment did not have a significant impact on the separate financial statements.

4. Significant Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these separate financial statements in accordance with the K-IFRS are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, except if mentioned otherwise in Note 3.

(2) Cash and Cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, and other short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.

(3) Financial Assets

(a) Classification

At initial recognition, the Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

•

measured at fair value through profit or loss;

•

measured at fair value through other comprehensive income; and

•

measured at amortized cost.

The classification depends on the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

For financial assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held. The Company reclassifies debt investments when, and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income. Changes in fair value of equity instruments not elected as equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income will be recognized in profit or loss.

(b) Measurement

At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, for financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.

(b) Measurement, Continued

(i) Debt instruments

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Company’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. The Company classifies its debt instruments into one of the following three measurement categories:

•

Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at amortized cost and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in ‘finance income’ using the effective interest rate method.

•

Fair value through other comprehensive income: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through other comprehensive income, except for the recognition of impairment loss (reversal of impairment loss), interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognized in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss. Interest income from these financial assets is included in ‘finance income’ using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in ‘finance income or costs’ and impairment losses are presented in ‘other non-operating expenses’.

•

Fair value through profit or loss: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in profit or loss and presented net in the statement of profit or loss within ‘other non-operating income or expenses’ in the year in which it arises.

(b) Measurement, Continued

(ii) Equity instruments

The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Company’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments, which are held for long-term investment or strategic purpose, in other comprehensive income. There is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividend income from such investments continue to be recognized in profit or loss as ‘finance income’ when the right to receive payments is established.

Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in ‘other non-operaing income and expenses’ in the statement of profit or loss as applicable. Impairment loss (reversal of impairment loss) on equity investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.

The Company recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (“ECLs”) on:

•

financial assets measured at amortized cost;

•

debt investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income; and

•

contract assets under K-IFRS No. 1115.

The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, except for the following, which are measured at 12-month ECLs:

•

debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and

•

other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

Loss allowances for accounts and other receivables (including lease receivables) and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Company’s historical experience and informed credit assessment that includes forward-looking information.

(3) Financial Assets, Continued

The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when:

•

the debtor is unlikely to pay its obligations to the Company in full, without recourse by the Company to actions such as realizing security (if any is held); or

•

the financial asset is more than 90 days past due.

Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).

The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost and debt securities at fair value through other comprehensive income are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. For debt securities at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is charged to profit or loss and is recognized in OCI.

(d) Recognition and Derecognition

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized or derecognized on trade-date, the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

If a transfer does not result in derecognition because the Company has retained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the transferred asset, the Company continues to recognize the transferred asset in its entirety and recognizes a financial liability for the consideration received.

(e) Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statements of financial position where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the assets and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.

(4) Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are initially measured at cost. The cost of property and equipment includes expenditures arising directly from the construction or acquisition of the asset, 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, and the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.

Property and equipment, subsequently, are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Subsequent costs are recognized in the carrying amount of property and equipment at cost or, if appropriate, as a separate item if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be reliably measured.

Depreciation of all property and equipment, except for land, is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives as follows:

		Estimated Useful Lives
Computer and other equipment		4 years
Furniture and fixture		4 years
Leasehold improvements		4 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at the end of each reporting date and adjusted, if appropriate. The change is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.

(5) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets, except for goodwill, are initially recognized at its historical cost, and carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.

The Company amortizes intangible assets with a limited useful life using the straight-line method over the following periods:

		Estimated Useful Lives
Software		1~3 years
Patents		10 years
Other intangible assets		3 years

Expenditure on research activities is recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Development expenditure is capitalized only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. Other development expenditure is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

The Company entered into a game licensing agreement with a number of third parties to gain exclusive rights to the games developed by other companies. The license fee payments are recognized as other intangible assets and amortized over the term of the contract.

(6) Impairment of Non-financial Assets

At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than contract assets, incremental costs of obtaining a contract, costs to fulfil a contract, employee benefit related assets and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment, are tested for impairment annually by comparing their recoverable amounts to their carrying amounts.

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating unit (“CGU”) is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using an adjusted discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.

An impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.

(7) Leases

The Company has applied K-IFRS No. 1116 using the modified retrospective approach and therefore the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under K-IFRS No. 1017 and K-IFRS No.2104. The details of accounting policies under K-IFRS No.1017 and K-IFRS No. 2104 are disclosed separately.

(a) Policies applicable from January 1, 2019

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company uses the definition of a lease in K-IFRS No.1116.

(i) As a lessee

At commencement or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of its relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of property the Company has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Company by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Company will exercise a purchase option. In that case the right-of-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rates.

The Company determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and type of the asset leased.

(7) Leases, Continued

(a) Policies applicable from January 1, 2019, Continued

(i) As a lessee, Continued

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

•

fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;

•

variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

•

amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee;

•

the exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate early.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option or if there is a revised in-substance fixed lease payment.

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

The Company presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property in ‘property and equipment’ and lease liabilities in ‘Other current liabilities’ and ‘Other non-current liabilities’ in the statement of financial position.

The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and short-term leases. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(ii) As a lessor

At inception or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices.

When the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease.

(7) Leases, Continued

(a) Policies applicable from January 1, 2019, Continued

(ii) As a lessor, Continued

To classify each lease, the Company makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Company considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.

When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Company applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, then the Company applies K-IFRS No.1115 to allocate the consideration in the contract.

The Company applies the derecognition and impairment requirements in K-IFRS No. 1109 to the net investment in the lease. The Company further regularly reviews estimated unguaranteed residual values used in calculating the gross investment in the lease.

The Company recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term as part of ‘other revenue’.

Generally, the accounting policies applicable to the Company as a lessor in the comparative period were not different from K-IFRS 1116.

(b) Policies applicable before January 1, 2019

(i) As a lessor

Lease income from operating leases is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred by the lessor in negotiating and arranging an operating lease is added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized as an expense over the lease term.

(ii) As a lessee

Lease payments under an operating lease were recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern of the user’s benefit. Contingent rents were charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

Lease incentives received were recognized as liabilities and then as deduction of expense over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern of the user’s benefit.

(8) Financial Liabilities

(a) Classification and measurement

The Company’s financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are financial instruments held for trading. A financial liability is held for trading if it is incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. A derivative that is not a designated as hedging instruments and an embedded derivative that is separated are also classified as held for trading.

The Company classifies non-derivative financial liabilities, except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial guarantee contracts and financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of financial assets does not qualify for derecognition, as financial liabilities carried at amortized cost and present as ‘accounts payable’, ‘other current liabilities’ and ‘other non-current liabilities’ in the separate statement of financial position.

(b) Derecognition

Financial liabilities are removed from the statement of financial position when it is extinguished; for example, when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expired or when the terms of an existing financial liability are substantially modified. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss

(9) Provisions and Contingent Liabilities

Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and make good obligations are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated.

GRAVITY CO., LTD.

Notes to the Financial Statements

4. Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

(9) Provisions and Contingent Liabilities, Continued

Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

In addition, when there is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity or a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability, a disclosure regarding the contingent liabilities is made in the notes to the financial statements.

(10) Foreign Currency Translation

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (the “functional currency”), which the financial statements in the Company and its branch (Taiwan) are presented in Korean won (KRW) and New Taiwan Dollar (NTD), respectively. The separate financial statements are presented in Korean won, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the exchange rate at the reporting date are generally recognized in profit or loss. They are recognized in other comprehensive income if they relate to qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying effective portion of net investment hedges, or are attributable to monetary part of the net investment in a foreign operation.

Exchange differences arising on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities such as equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss and equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized in profit or loss and other comprehensive income, respectively, as part of the fair value gain or loss.

GRAVITY CO., LTD.

(11) Statement of cash flows

The Company has elected to present cash flows from operating activities using the indirect method. Cash flows denominated in a foreign currency are reported using average exchange rate during the fiscal year.

(12) Revenues from contracts with customers

The Company engages in game licensing, IP licensing and game publishing businesses.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods or rendering of services arising from the normal course of the business. Amounts recognized as revenue are net of value added taxes, returns, rebates and discounts.

(a) Subscription revenue (Online and Mobile)

The Company recognizes online and mobile game subscription revenue on accrual basis when players make use of in-game premium features.

Mobile game users can access certain games free of charge, but may purchase virtual cash to acquire in-game premium features. The Company defer revenue recognition for the unused game points at the end of reporting period. Consumable in-game items are deferred when such in-game items are purchased by users with game points and recognized as revenue when the purchased in-game items are used in the games. In-game items with limited effective period are deferred and recognized as revenue in proportion to the number of days lapsed while durable in-game items are recognized ratably as revenues over the estimated life cycle of game users.

(b) Royalties and license fees

Revenue is recognized over time when there is reasonable expectation of ongoing activities that may have a significant effect on the customers during the duration of the contracts and the customers are exposed to the effect by the activities and there is no additional goods or services offered to the customers from the activities.

The nature of licensing promise is to provide a right to access the Company’s intellectual property as it exists throughout the license period. The Company recognizes revenue as the performance obligation satisfied over time.

The prepaid license fee revenues are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized on a straight-line method over the license period. The running royalties are recognized monthly on accrual basis as royalty payments are determined based on the conditions of contracts. The minimum guarantee (“MG”) royalties are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized on a straight-line method over the license period. If actual cumulative royalties exceed the cumulative revenue amount recognized under the straight-line method, the Company recognizes the excess amount as revenue.

(13) Current and Deferred Tax

The tax expense for the period consists of current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. The tax expense is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the taxation authorities, using the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the separate financial statements. However, deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognized only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those temporary differences and losses.

The Company recognizes a deferred tax liability all taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates, and interests in joint arrangements, except to the extent that the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, the Company recognizes a deferred tax asset for all deductible temporary differences arising from such investments to the extent that it is probable the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis.

(14) Employee Benefits

(a) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are employee benefits that are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render related services. When an employee has rendered a service to the Company during an accounting period, the Company recognizes the undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

(3) Fair value hierarchy

Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

•

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•

Level 2: all inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable (either directly that is, prices, or indirectly that is, derived from prices) for the asset or liability;

•

Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in an active market is determined based on the quoted market price as of the end of the reporting period. If the quoted prices are readily and regularly available through exchanges, sellers, brokers, industry groups, rating agencies or regulators and such prices represent actual market transactions that occur regularly between independent parties, they are considered active markets. These products are included in Level 1.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques use as much market observable information as possible and use the least amount of company-specific information. At this time, if all the significant input variables required to measure the fair value of a good are observable, the good is included in Level 2.

If more than one significant input variable is not based on observable market information, the item is included in Level 3.

The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of a financial instrument include:

- Market price or dealer price of a similar financial instrument

- The fair value of derivative instruments is determined by discounting the amount to present value using the leading exchange rate as of the end of the reporting period

For the other financial instruments, the Company applied other valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow, etc. For the financial assets and liabilities which carrying amount are reasonable approximation of fair value, those were excluded from fair value disclosure.

7. Accounts and Other Receivable, Continued

In assessing the recoverability of accounts and other receivables, the Company considers changes in the credit rating of accounts and other receivables from the commencement of the credit to the end of the reporting period.

The Company applies simplified approach for accounts and other receivables to measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. To measure the expected credit losses, accounts and other receivables are grouped based on credit risk characteristics and the duration of past due balances. ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls. The Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes the Company’s historical experience and informed credit assessment, that includes forward-looking information.
