KOREA ELECTRIC POWER CORPORATION
Non-Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2006 and 2005
(With Independent Auditors Report Thereon)
Independent Auditors Report
Based on a report originally issued in Korean
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Korea Electric Power Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying non-consolidated balance sheets of Korea Electric Power Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related non-consolidated statements of income, appropriation of retained earnings and cash flows for the years then ended. These non-consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these non-consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the non-consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Korea Electric Power Corporation as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations, the appropriation of its retained earnings, and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with the Korea Electric Power Corporation Act, the Accounting Regulations for Government Invested Enterprises and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea.
The accompanying non-consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 have been translated into United States dollars solely for the convenience of the reader. We have audited the translation and, in our opinion, the non-consolidated financial statements expressed in Korean Won have been translated into dollars on the basis set forth in note 2 to the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements.
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to the following:
As discussed in note 1(b) to the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements, accounting principles and auditing standards and their application in practice vary among countries. The accompanying non-consolidated financial statements are not intended to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in countries other than the Republic of Korea. In addition, the procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to audit such financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries. Accordingly, this report and the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements are intended solely for use by those knowledgeable in Korean accounting principles, the Korea Electric Power Corporation Act, the Accounting Regulations for Government Invested Enterprises, and Korean auditing standards and their application in practice.
As discussed in note 1(b) to the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Korea Accounting Standards No. 20, Related Party Disclosures. The adoption of these standards did not have a significant impact on the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements.
As discussed in note 27 to the non-consolidated financial statements, the Company had sales and purchases with related parties, including its six power generation subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2006 and recorded related receivables and payables as of December 31, 2006. Also, as of December 31, 2006, the Company has borrowings and long-term borrowings (including current portion) from Korea Development Bank (KDB), one of the Companys major shareholders. The Company has provided debt guarantees of KEPCO Ilijan Co., one of the Companys foreign subsidiaries, and performance guarantees of KEPCO Ilijan Co. to National Power Corporation in Philippine. In addition, KDB has provided guarantees for a portion of the Companys foreign currency debt.

This report is effective as of January 31, 2007, the audit report date. Certain subsequent events or circumstances, which may occur between the audit report date and the time of reading this report, could have a material impact on the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Accordingly, the readers of the audit report should understand that there is a possibility that the above audit report may have to be revised to reflect the impact of such subsequent events or circumstances, if any.

Korea Electric Power Corporation
Notes to Non-Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2006 and 2005
(1) | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presenting Financial Statements |
(a) | Organization and Description of Business |
Korea Electric Power Corporation (the Company or KEPCO) was incorporated on January 1, 1982 in accordance with the Korea Electric Power Corporation Act (the KEPCO Act) to engage in the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity and development of electric power resources in the Republic of Korea. The Company was given the status of a government-invested enterprise on December 31, 1983 following the enactment of the Government-Invested Enterprise Management Basic Act. The Companys stock was listed on the Korea Stock Exchange on August 10, 1989 and the Company listed its Depository Receipts (DR) on the New York Stock Exchange on October 27, 1994.
As of December 31, 2006, the Government of the Republic of Korea, Korea Development Bank (KDB), which is wholly owned by the Korean Government and foreign investors held 21.12%, 29.95% and 28.97%, respectively, of the Companys shares.
In accordance with the restructuring plan by the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy on January 21, 1999, the Company spun off its power generation division on April 2, 2001, resulting in the establishment of six power generation subsidiaries. The Company purchases substantially all of its electricity from the power generation subsidiaries. In addition, the Company has been contemplating the gradual privatization of the Companys power generation subsidiaries. The privatization of the power generation subsidiaries may result in a change in pricing of electric power, operation organization, related regulations and general policies for supply and demand of energy.
In addition, the Company was also planning to privatize its distribution business but has been discontinued according to the recommendation of the Korea Tripartite Commission on June 30, 2004.
(b) | Basis of Presenting Financial Statements |
The Company maintains its accounting records in Korean Won and prepares statutory non-consolidated financial statements in the Korean language (Hangul) in conformity with the KEPCO Act, the Accounting Regulations for Government Invested Enterprises, which have been approved by the Korean Ministry of Finance and Economy and, in the absence of specialized accounting regulations for utility companies, the accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. Certain accounting principles applied by the Company that conform with financial accounting standards and accounting principles in the Republic of Korea may not conform with generally accepted accounting principles in other countries. Accordingly, these non-consolidated financial statements are intended solely for use by only those who are informed in Korean accounting principles and practices, KEPCO Act and Accounting Regulations for Government Invested Enterprises. The accompanying non-consolidated financial statements have been condensed, restructured and translated into English (with certain expanded descriptions) from the Korean language non-consolidated financial statements.
Certain information included in the Korean language non-consolidated financial statements, but not required for a fair presentation of the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows, is not presented in the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Non-Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2006 and 2005
(b) | Basis of Presenting Financial Statements, Continued |
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Korea Accounting Standards (SKAS) No. 20, Related Party Disclosures. The adoption of the standard did not have a significant impact on accompanying non-consolidated financial statements.
(c) | Property, Plant and Equipment |
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, except in the case of revaluations made in accordance with the KEPCO Act and the then Assets Revaluation Law of Korea. Significant additions or improvements extending useful lives of assets are capitalized. However, normal maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
The Company capitalizes interest costs and other financial charges on borrowings associated with the manufacture, purchase, or construction of property, plant and equipment, incurred prior to completing the acquisition, as part of the cost of such assets. The calculation of capitalized interest includes translation differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs, which is limited to the extent of interest cost calculated by the weighted average interest rate of local currency borrowings.
Depreciation is computed by the declining-balance method (straight-line method for buildings and structures) using rates based on the estimated useful lives provided for in the Korean Corporate Income Tax Law and as permitted under the Accounting Regulations for Government Invested Enterprises as follows:
Estimated useful lives (years) | ||
Buildings |
8,15,30 | |
Structures |
8,15,30 | |
Machinery |
16 | |
Ships |
9 | |
Vehicles |
4 | |
Others |

The Company records the following funds and materials, which relate to the construction of transmission and distribution facilities, as construction grants:
- | Grants from the government or public institutions |
- | Funds, construction materials or other items contributed by customers |
Construction grants are initially recorded and presented in the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements as deductions from the assets acquired under such grants and are offset against depreciation expense over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.

(d) | Investment Securities |
Upon acquisition, the Company classifies certain debt and equity securities into one of the three categories: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading securities and such determination is reassessed at each balance sheet date. Investments in debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity. Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term (thus held for only a short period of time) are classified as trading securities. Trading generally reflects active and frequent buying and selling, and trading securities are generally used to generate profit on short-term differences in price. Investments not classified as either held-to-maturity or trading securities are classified as available-for-sale securities.
After initial recognition, held-to-maturity securities are valued at amortized cost. The difference between face value and acquisition cost is amortized over the remaining term of the security using the effective interest method. Trading securities are valued at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reflected in current income. Available-for-sale securities are also valued at fair value with changes in unrealized gains and losses reflected in capital adjustments, net of tax until the securities are sold or if the securities are determined to have other-than-temporary impairment. However, available-for-sale equity securities that are not traded in an active market and whose fair values cannot be reliably estimated are accounted for at their acquisition cost. For those securities that are traded in an active market, fair values refer to those quoted market prices, which are measured as the closing price at the balance sheet date. The fair value of non-marketable debt securities are measured at the discounted future cash flows by using the discount rate that appropriately reflects the credit rating of the issuing entity assessed by a publicly reliable independent credit rating agency. If application of such measurement method is not feasible, estimates of the fair values may be made using a reasonable valuation model or quoted market prices of similar debt securities issued by entities conducting similar business in similar industries.
On a continuous basis, the Company evaluates available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities for possible other-than-temporary impairment at the balance sheet date. Factors considered in assessing whether an indication of other-than-temporary impairment exists for available-for-sale securities include: the degree of change in the ratio of market price per share to book value per share at the date of evaluation compared to that at the date of acquisition, the financial condition and prospects of each investee company, industry conditions in which the investee company operates, the fair value of an available-for-sale security relative to the cost basis of the investment, the period of time the fair value of an available-for-sale security has been below the cost basis of the investment and other relevant factors. Factors considered in assessing whether an indication of other-than-temporary impairment exists for held-to-maturity security by taking into consideration the financial condition, business prospects and credit worthiness of the issuer.
When evidence of other-than-temporary impairment exists, unless there is clear counter-evidence that recognition of impairment is unnecessary, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the impaired security and recognizes any impairment loss in current operations. The amount of impairment loss of held-to-maturity securities or non-marketable equity securities is measured as the excess of the carrying amount over of the recoverable amount estimated as the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the securities original effective interest rate. For available-for-sale debt or equity securities stated at fair value, the impairment loss recognized in the current period is the excess of the recoverable amount for debt securities or the amount of the acquisition cost of equity securities less impairment loss recognized in prior periods in excess of the fair value.

(d) | Investment Securities, Continued |
For non-marketable equity securities accounted for at acquisition cost, impairment loss is equal to the difference between the recoverable amount and the carrying amount.
If the investment subsequently recovers for securities at fair value, the increase in value is recorded in current operations, up to the amount of the previously recognized impairment loss, while for securities stated at amortized cost or acquisition cost, the increase in value is recorded in current operations, not to exceed what the amortized cost would have been had there been no impairment loss.
If the intent and ability to hold the securities changes, transferred securities are accounted for at fair value. When held-to-maturity securities are reclassified as available-for-sale securities, unrealized gains or losses between the book value and fair value are reported in shareholders equity as a capital adjustment. When available-for-sale securities are reclassified as held-to- maturity securities, the unrealized gain or loss at the date of the transfer continues to be reported in shareholders equity as a capital adjustment and amortized over the remaining term of the security using the effective interest rate method.
(e) | Investment Securities under the Equity Method of Accounting |
For investments in companies, whether or not publicly held, under the Companys significant influence, the Company utilizes the equity method of accounting. Significant influence is generally deemed to exist if the Company can exercise influence over the operating and financial policies of an investee. The ability to exercise that influence may be indicated in several ways, such as the Companys representation on its board of directors, the Companys participation in its policy making processes, material transactions with the investee, interchange of managerial personnel, or technological dependency. Also, if the Company owns directly or indirectly 20% or more of the voting stock of an investee, the Company generally presumes that the investee is under its significant influence. The change in the Companys share of an investees net equity resulting from a change in an investees net equity is reflected in current income (loss), retained earnings, and capital adjustment depending on whether the change was derived from the investees net income (loss), changes in retained earnings or changes in capital surplus and capital adjustments.
Under the equity method of accounting, the Companys initial investment is recorded at cost and is subsequently increased to reflect the Companys share of investee income and reduced to reflect the Companys share of investee losses or dividends declared. The Company does not record its share of losses of an affiliate when such losses would make the Companys investment in such entity less than zero unless the Company has guaranteed obligations of the investee or is otherwise committed to provide additional financial support.
Any excess in the Companys acquisition cost over the Companys share of the net fair value of the investees identifiable net assets is considered as goodwill and amortized by the straight-line method over the estimated useful life. The amortization of such goodwill is recorded against the equity income (losses) of affiliates. When events or circumstances indicate that carrying amount may not be recoverable, the Company reviews goodwill for any impairment.
Under the equity method of accounting, unrealized gains and losses on transactions with an investee are eliminated to the extent of the Companys interest in the investee. However, unrealized gains and losses from a down-stream transaction with a subsidiary are eliminated in their entirety.

(e) | Investment Securities under the Equity Method of Accounting, Continued |
Assets and liabilities of foreign-based companies accounted for using the equity method are translated at the current rate of exchange at the balance sheet date while profit and loss items in the non-consolidated statement of income are translated at the average rate and the capital account at the historical rate. The translation gains and losses arising from collective translation of the foreign currency financial statements of foreign-based companies are recorded on a net basis and accumulated as a capital adjustment.
Certain affiliates apply different accounting methods for cost of inventory and the depreciation method of fixed assets and intangible assets than those of the Company as noted below. The effect of using different accounting methods is not considered material.

(f) | Intangible Assets |
Intangible assets, which consist of computer software, industrial rights, land rights and others, are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Such intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over a reasonable period, from 4 years to 20 years, based on the nature of the asset.
(g) | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate, in managements judgment, that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Managements estimate of undiscounted future cash flows to determine the recoverability of an asset inherently includes judgments and assumptions. If managements assumptions about these assets change as a result of events or circumstances, and management believes the assets may have declined in value, then the Company may record impairment charges. Management uses its best estimate in making these evaluations and considers various factors, including the future prices of energy, fuel costs and operating costs. However, actual market prices and operating costs may vary from those used in impairment evaluations, and the impact of such variations could be material.
When the book value of assets exceeds the recoverable value of the assets due to obsolescence, physical damage or sharp decline in market value, the impaired assets are recorded at the estimated recoverable value with the resulting impairment loss charged to current income. If the recoverable value exceeds the adjusted book value of the assets in subsequent periods, the excess is recognized as a gain in subsequent periods up to the book value of the assets before the losses were recognized.
(h) | Cash Equivalents |
The Company considers short-term financial instruments with maturities of three months or less at the acquisition date to be cash equivalents.
(i) | Financial Instruments |
Short-term financial instruments are instruments managed by financial institutions which are held for short-term cash management purposes, maturing within one year, including time deposits, installment savings deposits, repurchase agreement (or Repos) and restricted bank deposits. Long-term financial instruments are financial instruments not included in current assets.
(j) | Allowance for Doubtful Accounts |
The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on an analysis of individual accounts and past experience of collection. Homogeneous receivables consisting of small balances are evaluated considering current economic conditions and trends, prior charge-off experience and delinquencies.
(k) | Inventories |
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated selling cost. The is determined using the weighted-average method for raw materials, moving-average method for supplies and specific-identification method for other inventories. The Company maintains perpetual inventory records which are adjusted through physical counts at the end of each year.

December 31, 2006 and 2005
(l) | Convertible Bonds |
When issuing convertible bonds, the value of the conversion rights is recognized separately in other capital surplus. Considerations for conversion rights are measured by deducting the present value of ordinary or straight debt securities from the gross proceeds of the convertible bonds received at the date of issuance. The amortization of the premium and conversion right adjustment is recorded as a component of interest expense.
The value of common shares issued pursuant to any exercise of conversion rights is measured as the sum of the carrying amount, at the time of conversion, and the amount of consideration received for such rights, at the time of issuance of the convertible bonds, at the balance sheet date. Convertible bonds are not subject to foreign currency translation as convertible bonds are regarded as non-monetary foreign currency liabilities in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea.
(m) | Discount (Premium) on Debentures |
Discount (premium) on debentures issued, which represents the difference between the face value and issuance price of debentures, is amortized (accreted) using the effective interest method over the life of the debentures. The amount amortized (accreted) is included in interest expense.
(n) | Retirement and Severance Benefits |
Employees and directors who have been with the Company for more than one year are entitled to lump-sum payments based on current salary rates and length of service when they leave the Company. The Companys estimated liability under the plan which would be payable if all employees left on the balance sheet date is accrued in the accompanying non-consolidated balance sheets. A portion of the liability is covered by an employees severance benefits trusts where the employees have a vested interest in the deposit with the insurance company in trust. The deposit for severance benefits held in trusts is, therefore, reflected in the accompanying non-consolidated balance sheets as a reduction of the liability for retirement and severance benefits.
Through March 1999, under the National Pension Scheme of Korea, the Company transferred a certain portion of retirement allowances for employees to the National Pension Fund. The amount transferred reduces the retirement and severance benefit amount payable to employees when they leave the Company and is accordingly reflected in the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements as a reduction of the retirement and severance benefit liability. However, due to the new regulation effective April 1999, such transfers to the National Pension Fund are no longer required.
(o) | Reserve for Self-Insurance |
In accordance with the Accounting Regulations for Government Invested Enterprises, the Company provides a self-insurance reserve for loss from accidents and liabilities to third parties that may arise in connection with the Companys non-insured facilities. The self-insurance reserve is recorded until the amount meets 15.8% of non-insured buildings and machinery. Payments made to settle applicable claims are charged to this reserve.

December 31, 2006 and 2005
(p) | Foreign Currency Translation |
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Korean Won at the balance sheet date, with the resulting gains or losses recognized in current results of operations. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Korean Won at W929.6 to US$1, the rate of exchange on December 31, 2006 that is permitted by the Financial Accounting Standards. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are stated at historical cost, are translated into Korean Won at the foreign exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
(q) | Derivatives |
Derivative instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are recognized immediately in current operations.
Where a derivative instrument which meets certain criteria is used for hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset, liability or firm commitment, it is designated as a fair value hedge. Where a derivative instrument which meets certain criteria is used for hedging the exposure to the variability of future cash flows of a forecasted transaction, it is designated as a cash flow hedge. The Company entered into various derivative contracts to hedge foreign currency risk and interest rate risk but do not apply hedge accounting.
(r) | Provisions, Contingent Assets and Contingent Liabilities |
Provisions are recognized when all of the following are met: (1) an entity has a present obligation as a result of a past event, (2) it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and (3) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the effect to the time value of money is material, a provision is recorded at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation.
Where the expenditure required to settle a provision is expected to be reimbursed by another party, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset when, and only when, it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received if the Company settles the obligation. The expense relating to a provision is presented net of amount recognized for a reimbursement.

December 31, 2006 and 2005
(s) | Revenue Recognition |
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of electric power based on meter readings made on a monthly basis. The Company does not accrue revenue for power sold after the meter readings but prior to the end of the accounting period. The Company recognizes revenue on long-term contacts, which are related to the construction of power plants in the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (North Korea), based on the percentage-of-completion method. Revenue other than sale of electric power and revenue on long-term contracts is recognized when the Companys revenue-earning activities have been substantially completed, the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, and it is probable that the Company will receive the economic benefits associated with the transaction.
(t) | Income Taxes |
Income tax on income or loss for the period consists of the corporate income tax and resident tax surcharges currently payable, and the changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities during the period.
Deferred tax is provided using the asset and liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner in which the carrying amount of assets and liabilities will be realized or settled, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date.
A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the unused tax losses and credits can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as current or non-current based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting or the expected reversal date of the temporary difference for those with no related asset or liability such as loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. The deferred tax amounts are presented as a net current asset or liability and a net non-current asset or liability.
Deferred taxes are recognized on the temporary differences related to unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities that are reported as a separate component of capital adjustment.
Cumulative effect of accounting change in 2005 was as follows:
Prior to January 1, 2005, the deferred tax effect of temporary differences arising from unrealized gain and losses on investment securities and conversion right of the convertible bond issued in 2003 amounted to (Won)12,422 million. This amount was expensed during 2003. However, effective January 1, 2005, per SKAS No. 16 Income Taxes, the tax effect amounting to (Won)12,422 million should be directly charged to capital surplus. As a result of such change, as of January 1, 2005, capital surplus decreased and retained earnings increased by (Won)12,422 million.
(u) | Dividends Payable |
Annual dividends are recorded when resolved by the board of directors and approved by the shareholders.

(v) | Prior Period Adjustments |
Prior period adjustments resulting from other than fundamental errors are charged or credited to net income of the current period. Fundamental errors are defined as errors with such a significant effect on the financial statements for one or more prior periods that those financial statements can no longer be considered to have been reliable at the date of their issue. The prior period adjustments resulting from fundamental errors are charged or credited to the beginning balance of retained earnings, and the financial statements of the prior year are restated.
(w) | Earnings Per Share |
Basic earnings per common share are calculated by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders plus interest expense, net of tax, of convertible bonds by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of the convertible bonds.
(x) | Use of Estimates |

These translations should not be construed as a representation that any or all of the amounts shown could be converted into U.S. dollars at this or any other rate.

The KEPCO Act requires the Company to appropriate a legal reserve equal to at least 20 percent of net income for each accounting period until the reserve equals 50 percent of the common stock. The legal reserve is not available for cash dividends. However, this reserve may be credited to paid-in capital (a component of capital surplus) or offset against accumulated deficit by resolution of the shareholders.
Prior to 1990, according to the KEPCO Act, at least 20 percent of net income in each fiscal year was required to be established as a reserve for business expansion until such reserve equaled the common stock. Beginning in 1990, no percentage was specified.

(14) | Appropriated Retained Earnings, Continued |
The reserve for investment in social overhead capital and the reserve for research and human resources development are appropriated by the Company to avail itself of qualified tax credits to reduce corporate tax liabilities. These reserves are not available for cash dividends for a certain period as defined in the Special Tax Treatment Control Law.
Until December 10, 2002 under the Special Tax Treatment Control Law, investment tax credit was allowed for certain investments. The Company was, however, required to appropriate from retained earnings the amount of tax benefits received and transfer such amount into a reserve for business rationalization. Effective December 11, 2002, the Company is no longer required to establish a reserve for business rationalization despite tax benefits received for certain investments and, consequently, the existing balance is now regarded as a voluntary reserve.
The reserve for dividend equalization, which is considered a voluntary reserve, is appropriated by the Company to reduce fluctuation of dividend rates for the purpose of stabilizing the Companys stock price and credit rating.

(29) | Commitments and Contingencies |
(a) | As of December 31, 2006, the Company was involved in 51 lawsuits as plaintiff and 247 lawsuits as defendant. The amount of damages claimed related to the lawsuits as plaintiff and defendant were (Won)24,880 million and (Won)278,328 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2006. Related to the lawsuits for which the Company is a defendant, the Company deposited approximately (Won)4,367 million included in other current assets with the respective courts pending final ruling. As of December 31, 2006, the Company recorded a liability related to the above claims amounting to (Won)3,334 million in other long-term liabilities. Additionally, the Company recorded expense related to the above liabilities amounting to (Won)4,727 million and (Won)51,506 million in 2006 and 2005, respectively. In the opinion of management, the ultimate results of these lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations or liquidity. |
(b) | A key stipulation of the Agreed Framework signed by the United States and North Korea in October 1994 was that a US-led international consortium would construct two commercial light water reactors in North Korea in return for certain nuclear non-proliferation steps to be taken by North Korea. The Korean Peninsula Energy Development Organization (KEDO) was chartered in March 1995 as the international consortium stipulated by the Agreed Framework and signed an agreement with North Korea in December 1995 to supply the light water reactors. Kumho, North Korea was selected as the site for such light water reactors and KEDO designated the Company as its prime contractor to build two units of pressurized light water reactors with a total capacity of 2,000 megawatts. The Company entered into a fixed price turnkey contract with KEDO, which became effective on February 3, 2000. The contract amount was US$4,182 million subject to adjustment to cover any changes in the price level. |
In November 2002, amid suspicions that North Korea was engaged in an undeclared program to enrich uranium, KEDO suspended the supply of heavy fuel oil to North Korea, which was part of the Agreed Framework. Subsequently, North Korea withdrew from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons in January 2003 and resumed operations at the Yongbyon facility, a nuclear facility whose operations had been frozen under the Agreed Framework. Several diplomatic initiatives were taken to resolve these issues to no avail.
In December 2003, asserting that North Korea had not met the conditions required for the continuation of the project, KEDO suspended the construction of the project for one year, which was subsequently extended to November 30, 2005. However, the Company continued to perform maintenance for the project during 2004 and 2005. In December 2005, KEDO sent a delegation to North Korea to discuss the issues regarding the projects termination and demobilization. During the meeting, North Korea requested KEDO to withdraw all of its personnel. On January 8, 2006, KEDO completed the withdrawal of all workers from the project site.

Independent Accountants Review Report on Internal Accounting Control System
English translation of a Report Originally Issued in Korean
To the Chief Executive Officer of
Korea Electric Power Corporation:
We have reviewed the accompanying Report on the Operations of Internal Accounting Control System (IACS) of Korea Electric Power Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 2006. The Companys management is responsible for designing and maintaining effective IACS and for its assessment of the effectiveness of IACS. Our responsibility is to review managements assessment and issue a report based on our review. In the accompanying report of managements assessment of IACS, the Companys management stated: Based on the assessment on the operations of the IACS, the Companys IACS has been effectively designed and is operating as of December 31, 2006, in all material respects, in accordance with the IACS Framework issued by the Internal Accounting Control System Operation Committee.
We conducted our review in accordance with IACS Review Standards, issued by the Korean Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those Standards require that we plan and perform the review to obtain assurance of a level less than that of an audit as to whether Report on the Operations of Internal Accounting Control System is free of material misstatement. Our review consists principally of obtaining an understanding of the Companys IACS, inquiries of company personnel about the details of the report, and tracing to related documents we considered necessary in the circumstances. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
A companys IACS is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, however, IACS may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that Report on the Operations of Internal Accounting Control System as of December 31, 2006 is not prepared in all material respects, in accordance with IACS Framework issued by the Internal Accounting Control System Operation Committee.
This report applies to the Companys IACS in existence as of December 31, 2006. We did not review the Companys IACS subsequent to December 31, 2006. This report has been prepared for Korean regulatory purposes, pursuant to the External Audit Law, and may not be appropriate for other purposes or for other users.
