  (a)

Subjects for Calculation: Unit prices of the standard hot-rolled product and cold-rolled product

 

  (b)

Calculation Method and Unit: The average price of each product based on its total sales including the freight during the given period.

(2) Factors of Price Changes

From 2016 to 2018, the price of the steel products has continuously increased due to changes in supply and demand of steel market and the reflection of increased raw material price into the cost. The price of steel products in 2019.1H has been similar level of last year due to continuous slowdown in demand for steel products.

[Others]

(1) Criteria for Calculation

 

  (a)

Electric Power = Price of electric power / Total amount of generated power

Independent Auditors’ Review Report

Based on a report originally issued in Korean

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

POSCO:

Reviewed financial statements

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements of POSCO and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as of June 30, 2019, the condensed consolidated interim statements of comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the condensed consolidated interim statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s responsibility

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standard (“K-IFRS”) No. 1034 “Interim Financial Reporting”. The Company’s management is also responsible for the internal controls determined necessary to prepare condensed consolidated interim financial statements free of material misstatements due to error or fraud.

Auditor’s review responsibility

Our responsibility is to issue a report on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements based on our reviews.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the Review Standards for Quarterly and Semiannual Financial Statements established by the Securities and Futures Commission of the Republic of Korea. A review of interim financial statements consists of making inquiries primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements referred to above are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1034 “Interim Financial Reporting”.

Other matters

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

The consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, which are not accompanying this report, were audited by us in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing and our report thereon, dated March 7, 2019, expressed an unqualified opinion. The accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018, presented for comparative purposes, is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited consolidated financial statements from which it has been derived.

2. Statement of Compliance

Statement of compliance

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS”), as prescribed in the Act on External Audit of Companies, Etc. in the Republic of Korea.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1034 “Interim Financial Reporting” as part of the period covered by the Company’s K-IFRS annual financial statements. Selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Company since the last annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required for full annual financial statements.

The Company adopted K-IFRS No. 1116 “Leases” for the first time from January 1, 2019. Changes to significant accounting policies are described in Note 3.

Use of estimates and judgments

 

(a)

Judgments, assumptions and estimation uncertainties

The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim 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. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period prospectively.

The significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual financial statements, except for new significant judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty related to the application of K-IFRS No. 1116 “Leases” which are described in Note 3.

 

(b)

Measurement of fair value

The Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes a valuation team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values, and reports directly to the financial officer.

 

11


Table of Contents

POSCO and Subsidiaries

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, Continued

As of June 30, 2019

(Unaudited)

 

 

 

The valuation team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the valuation team assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of K-IFRS including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuation techniques should be classified.

Significant valuation issues are reported to the Company’s Audit Committee.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses market observable data as far as possible. 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 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

   

Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly.

 

   

Level 3 - inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data.

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorized in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

Information about the assumptions made in measuring fair value is included in Note 21.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Except as described in K-IFRS No. 1034 “Interim Financial Reporting” and below, the accounting policies applied by the Company in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018.

K-IFRS No. 1116 “Leases”

The Company has initially adopted K-IFRS No. 1116 “Leases” from January 1, 2019. The Company also expects to apply the accounting policies set out below for their annual reporting period ending December 31, 2019.

K-IFRS No. 1116 “Leases” introduced a single accounting model for lessees. As a result, the Company, as a lessee, recognized right-of-use assets representing its rights to use the underlying assets and lease liabilities representing its obligation to make lease payments. Lessor accounting remains similar to previous accounting policies.

The Company applied K-IFRS No. 1116 “Leases” using the modified retrospective approach by recognizing the cumulative effect of initial application as of January 1, 2019, the date of initial application. Accordingly, the comparative information presented for 2018 has not been restated.

(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 new definition of a lease. Under K-IFRS No. 1116 “Leases”, a contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

On transition to K-IFRS No. 1116 “Leases”, 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 “Leases” and K-IFRS No. 2104 “Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease” were not reassessed. Therefore, the definition of a lease under K-IFRS No. 1116 has been applied only to contracts entered into or changed on or after January 1, 2019.

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

 

(b)

As a lessee

The Company leases many assets, including land, warehouses, handling equipment and IT equipment. As a lessee, the Company previously classified leases as operating or finance leases based on its assessment of whether the lease transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership. Under K-IFRS No. 1116 “Leases”, the Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases. That is, most leases are presented in the statement of financial position.

However, the Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for some leases of low-value assets (e.g. desktops, IT supplies, etc.). The Company recognizes lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company presents right-of-use assets in the same line item as it presents underlying assets of the same nature that it owns, and lease liabilities are included in other payables on the consolidated statement of financial position. The carrying amounts of right-of-use assets as of January 1, 2019, the date of initial application, and June 30, 2019 are as follows:

(*1)

Leases classified as a finance lease under K-IFRS No. 1017 “Leases” at the end of 2018 are included, and the carrying amounts of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are equal to the carrying amounts of the finance lease assets and financial lease liabilities measured in accordance with K-IFRS 1017 “Leases” as of January 1, 2019, the date of initial application.

1) Significant accounting policies

The Company recognizes a right-of-use assets and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, and subsequently at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, 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 rate.

The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payments made. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or, as appropriate, a change in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised.

The Company applies judgment to determine the lease term for some lease contracts in which it is a lessee that include renewal options. The assessment of whether the Company is reasonably certain to exercise such options impacts the lease term, which significantly affects the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognized.

2) Transition

At transition, for leases classified as operating leases under K-IFRS No. 1017 “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, the date of initial application. Right-of-use assets are measured at amounts equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments.

In addition, the Company used the following practical expedients when applying K-IFRS No. 1116 “Leases” to leases previously classified as operating leases under K-IFRS No. 1017 “Leases”.

 

   

Applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term.

 

   

Excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.

 

   

Used hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.

 

(c)

As a lessor

The Company leases out its investment properties. The Company classified these leases as operating leases, and the accounting policies applicable to the Company as a lessor are not different from those under K-IFRS No. 1017 “Leases”. However, when the Company is an intermediate lessor the sub-leases are classified with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset.

The Company provides sub-leases for leases of vessels classified as operating leases under K-IFRS No. 1017 “Leases” as an intermediate lessor, and classified the sub-leases as finance leases as of January 1, 2019, the date of initial application of K-IFRS No. 1116 “Leases”. Accordingly, the Company recognized finance lease receivables amounting to W225,198 million. In addition, the Company did not make any adjustments to leases for which the Company is a lessor, except for sub-leases described above as of January 1, 2019, the date of initial application.

During 2018, the Controlling Company evaluated future economic performance of its Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG) facility that was still in trial run stage. Considering the continuous decline in LNG price, increase in coal prices and the need for additional capital investment in the SNG facility, the Controlling Company concluded that the profitability for the SNG facility is unlikely to be sustainable and decided to terminate the operation of SNG facility as of December 31, 2018. The property, plant and equipment in the SNG facility are primarily comprised of machinery and equipment, among which assets with a carrying value of W167,054 million are expected to be reused in other facilities of the Controlling Company therefore no impairment test was conducted. For the remaining assets impairment test was performed by estimating the recoverable amount of each individual assets. For the assets which are determined to be technically obsolete and therefore sale is unlikely, recoverable amount represents expected scrap value less cost of disposal.

For the assets for which sale is probable, the recoverable amount is determined based on fair value less cost of disposal. Fair value was measured using cost approach, which is based on estimated the current cost to purchase or replace the asset less applicable depreciation and obsolescence.

Specifically, the Controlling Company used indirect cost approach to estimate the replacement cost for a new asset by applying asset specific inflation factors to the asset’s historical cost. Then the Controlling Company estimates and deducts depreciation for physical deterioration. Depreciation factors are applied primarily based on estimated useful life of the asset and declining balance depreciation method. The fair value measurement of assets in SNG facility is considered to be level 3 because significant inputs used in the estimate, such as asset specific inflation factors and estimated useful lives, are unobservable.

As a result of the impairment test, the Company recognized an impairment loss of W809,737 million in connection with the property, plant and equipment in the SNG facility.

The Controlling Company has recognized an impairment loss amounting to W61,787 million since recoverable amount on Strip Casting facilities and others is less than its carrying amount for the period ended December 31, 2018.

 

(*2)

As of December 31, 2018, POSCO ENERGY CO., LTD., as a subsidiary, performed the impairment test due to the consecutive operating loss of the fuel cell business, and recognized impairment losses amounting to W54,250 million.

(*3)

Represents assets transferred from construction-in-progress to intangible assets and other property, plant and equipment, reclassifications resulting from changing purpose of use, adjustments of foreign currency translation differences and others.

Due to the factors causing the variation of costs for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, the estimated total contract costs have changed.

The effect on the current and future profit is estimated based on the circumstances that have occurred from the commencement date of the contracts as of June 30, 2019. The estimation is evaluated for the total contract cost and expected total contract revenue as of the end of the period. Also, it may change during future periods.

 

(e)

Uncertainty of estimates

 

  1)

Total contract revenues

Total contract revenues are measured based on contractual amount initially agreed. However, the contract revenues can increase due to additional contract work, claims and incentive payments, or decrease due to penalty when the completion of contract is delayed due to the Company’s fault. Therefore, this measurement of contract revenues is affected by the uncertainty of the occurrence of future events.

 

  2)

Total contract costs

Contract revenues are recognized based on the percentage of completion, which is measured on the basis of the gross cost amount incurred to date. Total contract costs are estimated based on estimates of future material costs, labor costs, outsourcing cost and others. There is uncertainty in estimates on future contract costs due to various internal and external factors such as fluctuation of market, the risk of business partner and the experience of project performance and others. The significant assumptions including uncertainty of the estimate of total contract costs are as follows:

 

    

Method of significant assumption

Material cost    Assumption based on recent purchasing price and quoted market price
Labor cost    Assumption based on standard monthly and daily labor cost
Outsourcing cost    Assumption based on the past experience rate of similar project and market price

Management reviews the assumptions used in estimated contract costs at each reporting period end and adjusts them, if necessary.

Description

POSCO

  POSCO entered into long-term contracts to purchase iron ore, coal, nickel and others. The contracts of iron ore and coal generally have terms of more than three years and the contracts of nickel have terms of more than one year. These contracts provide for periodic price adjustments based on the market price. As of June 30, 2019, 79 million tons of iron ore and 13 million tons of coal remained to be purchased under such long-term contracts.
  POSCO entered into an agreement with Tangguh Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Consortium in Indonesia to purchase 550 thousand tons of LNG annually for 20 years commencing in August 2005. The purchase price is subject to change, based on changes of the monthly standard oil price (JCC) and with a price ceiling.
  The Company has a long-term service contract for the transportation of raw material. As of June 30, 2019, there are 39 vessels under contract, and the average remaining contract period is about 10 years.
  As of June 30, 2019, POSCO entered into a commitment with KOREA ENERGY AGENCY for long-term foreign currency borrowings, which are limited up to the amount of USD 4.12 million.

The claimants are seeking damages allegedly resulting from POSCO E&C’s purported wrongful seizure.

Independent Auditors’ Review Report

Based on a report originally issued in Korean

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

POSCO:

Reviewed financial statements

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed separate interim financial statements of POSCO (the “Company”), which comprise the condensed separate interim statement of financial position as of June 30, 2019, the condensed separate interim statements of comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the condensed separate interim statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s responsibility

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these condensed separate interim financial statements in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standard (“K-IFRS”) No. 1034 “Interim Financial Reporting”. The Company’s management is also responsible for the internal controls determined necessary to prepare condensed separate interim financial statements free of material misstatements due to error or fraud.

Auditor’s review responsibility

Our responsibility is to issue a report on the condensed separate interim financial statements based on our reviews.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the Review Standards for Quarterly and Semiannual Financial Statements established by the Securities and Futures Commission of the Republic of Korea. A review of interim financial statements consists of making inquiries primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed separate interim financial statements referred to above are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1034 “Interim Financial Reporting”.


Table of Contents

Other matters

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

The separate statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018, and the related separate statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, which are not accompanying this report, were audited by us in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing and our report thereon, dated March 7, 2019, expressed an unqualified opinion. The accompanying condensed separate statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018, presented for comparative purposes, is consistent, in all material respect, with the audited separate financial statements from which it has been derived.

1. Reporting Entity

POSCO (the “Company”) is the largest steel producer in Korea which was incorporated on April 1, 1968, under the Commercial Code of the Republic of Korea to manufacture and sell steel rolled products and plates in the domestic and foreign markets.

The shares of the Company have been listed on the Korea Exchange since June 10, 1988. The Company owns and operates two steel plants (Pohang and Gwangyang) and one office in Korea, and it also operates internationally through six of its overseas liaison offices.

As of June 30, 2019, the shares of the Company are listed on the Korea Exchange, while its ADRs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

2. Statement of Compliance

Statement of compliance

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

These condensed separate interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1034 “Interim Financial Reporting” as part of the period covered by the Company’s K-IFRS annual financial statements. Selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Company since the last annual separate financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018. These condensed separate interim financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required for full annual financial statements.

These condensed interim financial statements are separate interim financial statements prepared in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1027 “Separate Financial Statements” presented by a parent, an investor with joint control of, or significant influence over, an investee, in which the investments are accounted for at cost.

The Company adopted K-IFRS No. 1116 “Leases” for the first time from January 1, 2019. Changes to significant accounting policies are described in Note 3.

Use of estimates and judgments

 

(a)

Judgments, assumptions and estimation uncertainties

The preparation of the condensed interim 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.

Table of Contents

POSCO

Notes to the Condensed Separate Interim Financial Statements, Continued

As of June 30, 2019

(Unaudited)

 

 

 

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period prospectively.

The significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual financial statements, except for new significant judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty related to the application of K-IFRS No. 1116 “Leases”, which are described in Note 3.

 

(b)

Measurement of fair value

The Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes a valuation team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values, and reports directly to the financial officer.

The valuation team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the valuation team assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of K-IFRS including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuation techniques should be classified.

Significant valuation issues are reported to the Company’s Audit Committee.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses market observable data as far as possible. 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 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

   

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly.

 

   

Level 3 – inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data.

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorized in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

Information about the assumptions made in measuring fair value is included in Note 20.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Except as described in K-IFRS No. 1034 “Interim Financial Reporting” and below, the accounting policies applied by the Company in these condensed separate interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its separate financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018.

K-IFRS No. 1116 “Leases”

The Company has initially adopted K-IFRS No. 1116 “Leases” from January 1, 2019. The Company also expects to apply the accounting policies set out below for their annual reporting period ending December 31, 2019.

K-IFRS No. 1116 “Leases” introduced a single accounting model for lessees. As a result, the Company, as a lessee, recognized right-of-use assets representing its rights to use the underlying assets and lease liabilities representing its obligation to make lease payments. Lessor accounting remains similar to previous accounting policies.

The Company applied K-IFRS No. 1116 “Leases” using the modified retrospective approach by recognizing the cumulative effect of initial application as of January 1, 2019, the date of initial application. Accordingly, the comparative information presented for 2018 has not been restated.

 

(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 new definition of a lease. Under K-IFRS No. 1116 “Leases”, a contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

On transition to K-IFRS No. 1116 “Leases”, 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 “Leases” and K-IFRS No. 2104 “Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease” were not reassessed. Therefore, the definition of a lease under K-IFRS No. 1116 has been applied only to contracts entered into or changed on or after January 1, 2019.

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

(b)

As a lessee

The Company leases many assets, including warehouses, handling equipment and IT equipment. As a lessee, the Company previously classified leases as operating or finance leases based on its assessment of whether the lease transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership. Under K-IFRS No. 1116 “Leases”, the Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases. That is, most leases are presented in the statement of financial position.

However, the Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for some leases of low-value assets (e.g. desktops, IT supplies, etc.). The Company recognizes lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company presents right-of-use assets in the same line item as it presents underlying assets of the same nature that it owns, and lease liabilities are included in other payables on the separate statement of financial position. The carrying amounts of right-of-use assets as of January 1, 2019, the date of initial application, and June 30, 2019 are as follows:

 

(in millions of Won)    Property, Plant and Equipment (*1)  
     Buildings      Structure      Machinery and
equipment
     Vehicles      Furniture, fixtures
and others
     Total

(*1)

Leases classified as a finance lease under K-IFRS No. 1017 “Leases” at the end of 2018 are included, and the carrying amounts of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are equal to the carrying amounts of the finance lease assets and financial lease liabilities measured in accordance with K-IFRS 1017 “Leases” as of January 1, 2019, the date of initial application.

1) Significant accounting policies

The Company recognizes a right-of-use assets and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, and subsequently at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, 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 rate.

The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payments made. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or, as appropriate, a change in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised.

The Company applies judgment to determine the lease term for some lease contracts in which it is a lessee that include renewal options. The assessment of whether the Company is reasonably certain to exercise such options impacts the lease term, which significantly affects the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognized.

2) Transition

At transition, for leases classified as operating leases under K-IFRS No. 1017 “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, the date of initial application. Right-of-use assets are measured at amounts equal to the lease liabilities.

In addition, the Company used the following practical expedients when applying K-IFRS No. 1116 “Leases” to leases previously classified as operating leases under K-IFRS No. 1017 “Leases”.

 

   

Applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term.

 

   

Excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.

 

   

Used hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.

 

(c)

As a lessor

The Company leases out its investment properties. The Company classified these leases as operating leases, and the accounting policies applicable to the Company as a lessor are not different from those under K-IFRS No. 1017 “Leases”.

Accordingly, the Company did not make any adjustments to leases for which the Company is a lessor as of January 1, 2019, the date of initial application.

During 2018, the Company evaluated future economic performance of its Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG) facility that was still in trial run stage. Considering the continuous decline in LNG price, increase in coal prices and the need for additional capital investment in the SNG facility, the Company concluded that the profitability for the SNG facility is unlikely to be sustainable and decided to terminate the operation of SNG facility as of December 31, 2018. The property, plant and equipment in the SNG facility are primarily comprised of machinery and equipment, among which assets with a carrying value of W180,238 million are expected to be re-used in other facilities of the Company therefore no impairment test was conducted. For the remaining assets impairment test was performed by estimating the recoverable amount of each individual assets. For the assets which are determined to be technically obsolete and therefore sale is unlikely, recoverable amount represents expected scrap value less cost of disposal.

For the assets for which sale is probable, the recoverable amount is determined based on fair value less cost of disposal. Fair value was measured using cost approach, which is based on estimated the current cost to purchase or replace the asset less applicable depreciation and obsolescence. Specifically, the Company used indirect cost approach to estimate the replacement cost for a new asset by applying asset specific inflation factors to the asset’s historical cost. Then the Company estimates and deducts depreciation for physical deterioration. Depreciation factors are applied primarily based on estimated useful life of the asset and declining balance depreciation method. The fair value measurement of assets in SNG facility is considered to be level 3 because significant inputs used in the estimate, such as asset specific inflation factors and estimated useful lives, are unobservable.

As a result of the impairment test, the Company recognized an impairment loss of W877,764 million in connection with the property, plant and equipment in the SNG facility.

The Company has recognized W61,787 million of impairment losses since recoverable amount on Strip Casting facilities was less than their carrying amount for the year ended December 31, 2018.
