KOREA ELECTRIC POWER CORPORATION
NON-CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JUNE 30, 2003 AND 2002
TOGETHER WITH INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS'
REVIEW REPORT
INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT
English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Korean
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Korea Electric Power Corporation
We have reviewed the accompanying non-consolidated balance sheet of Korea
Electric Power Corporation (the "Company") as of June 30, 2003 and the related
non-consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month and
six-month periods ended June 30, 2003, respectively, and the non-consolidated
statements of income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30,
2002, all expressed in Korean won. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to issue a
report on these financial statements based on our review.
We were furnished with the report of other accountants on their review of the
financial statements of Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co., Ltd. and Korea
South-East Power Co., Ltd., investments which constituted 22.9 percent of the
total non-consolidated assets as of June 30, 2003, and gain on equity method
which constituted 34.5 percent of non-consolidated income before income tax for
the six-month period then ended. Also, we were furnished with the report of
other accountants on their review of the financial statements of Korea Hydro &
Nuclear Power Co., Ltd. and 3 other power generating subsidiaries, investments
which constituted 30.1 percent of the total non-consolidated assets as of June
30, 2002, and gain on equity method which constituted 35.5 percent of
non-consolidated income before income tax for the six-month period then ended.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards for review of interim
financial statements in the Republic of Korea. These standards require that we
plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. A review of interim
financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea,
the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial
statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review and the reports of other accountants, we are not aware of
any material modifications that should be made to such financial statements
referred above, for them to be in conformity with the Korea Electric Power
Corporation Act, the Accounting Regulations for Government Invested Enterprises
and the Financial Accounting Standards in the Republic of Korea.
We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the Republic of Korea, the non-consolidated balance sheet of the
Company as of December 31, 2002, which is presented in this report, and the
related non-consolidated statements of income, appropriations of retained
earnings and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in
our report dated February 7, 2003, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those
financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the
accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2002 is fairly stated, in all
material respects, in relation to the non-consolidated balance sheet from which
it has been derived.
The translated amounts in the accompanying financial statements have been
translated into U.S. dollars, solely for the convenience of the reader, on the
basis set forth in Note 2.
As discussed in Note 17, sales and purchases to and from related parties,
including the six power generation subsidiaries, amounted to Won166,053 million
and Won7,468,532 million, respectively, for the six-month period ended June 30,
2003 and Won208,766 million and Won6,623,278 million, respectively, for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2002. Related receivables and payables amounted
to Won14,661 million and Won1,008,581 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2003
and Won31,954 million and Won1,172,012 million, respectively, as of December 31,
2002.
As discussed in Note 1, the Company has been considering the gradual
privatization of the Company's power generation subsidiaries and distribution
business, in accordance with the Restructuring Plan, dated January 21, 1999, of
the electricity industry in the Republic of Korea announced by the Ministry of
Commerce, Industry and Energy ("Restructuring Plan"). This Restructuring Plan,
which is intended to introduce a competitive system in the electricity industry,
is expected to affect the determination of utility rates, result in changes in
management
structure, related laws and regulations, and affect electricity supply and
demand policy.
As discussed in Note 2, in 2003, the Company adopted Statements of Korean
Financial Accounting Standards ("SKAS") No. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, which are
effective from January 1, 2003. Those statements provide accounting and
reporting standards for the interim financial statements, intangible assets,
revenue recognition, tangible assets, events occurring after the balance sheet
date, capitalization of interest costs, marketable securities and convertible
securities. The prior year financial statements, which are presented for
comparative purposes, were restated to conform to the provisions of those
standards. As a result of the adoption of SKAS No. 6 - "Events Occurring After
the Balance Sheet Date", shareholders' equity increased and current liabilities
decreased by Won511,350 million as of December 31, 2002.
Accounting principles and review standards and their application in practice
vary among countries. The accompanying 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. The Company's financial statements
are prepared in accordance with the Korea Electric Power Corporation Act, the
Accounting Regulations for Government Invested Enterprises as well as generally
accepted accounting principles in the Republic of Korea. In addition, the
procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to review such
financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in
other countries. Accordingly, this report and the accompanying financial
statements are for use by those knowledgeable about Korean accounting
procedures, review standards and their application in practice as well as the
Korea Electric Power Corporation Act and the Accounting Regulations for
Government Invested Enterprises.

KOREA ELECTRIC POWER CORPORATION.
NOTES TO NON-CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2003 AND 2002
(See Independent Accountants' Review Report)
1. THE COMPANY:
Korea Electric Power Corporation (the "Company") 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. The Company was given a government
investment status on December 31, 1983 following the enactment of the
Government-Invested Enterprise Management Basic Act. The Company's 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 June 30, 2003, the Government of the Republic of Korea, Korea Development
Bank and foreign investors hold 32.35 percent, 21.57 percent and 25.47 percent,
respectively, of the Company's shares.
The Company spun off its power generation division on April 2, 2001, resulting
in the establishment of six new power generation subsidiaries. The Company has
been considering the gradual privatization of the Company's power generation
subsidiaries and distribution business in accordance with the Restructuring
Plan, dated January 21, 1999, of the electricity industry in the Republic of
Korea announced by the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy ("Restructuring
Plan"). This Restructuring Plan, which is intended to introduce a competitive
system in the electricity industry, is expected to affect the determination of
utility rates, result in changes in management structure, related laws and
regulations, and affect electricity supply and demand policy.
In response to general unstable economic conditions, the Korean government and
the private sector have been implementing structural reforms to historical
business practices. Implementation of these reforms is progressing slowly,
particularly in the areas of restructuring private enterprises and reforming the
banking industry. The Korean government continues to apply pressure to Korean
companies to restructure into more efficient and profitable firms. The Company
may be either directly or indirectly affected by these general unstable economic
conditions and the reform program described above. The accompanying financial
statements reflect management's current assessment of the impact to date of the
economic situation on the financial position of the Company. Actual results may
differ materially from management's current assessment
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The Company maintains its official accounting records in Korean won and prepares
statutory non-consolidated financial statements in the Korean language (Hangul)
in conformity with 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, the accompanying financial statements are intended for
use by for those who are informed about Korean accounting principles and
practices, Korea Electric Power Corporation Act and Accounting Regulations for
Government Invested Enterprises. The accompanying financial statements have been
condensed, restructured and translated into English (with certain expanded
descriptions) from the Korean language financial statements. Certain information
included in the Korean language financial statements, but not required for a
fair presentation of the Company's financial position and results of operations,
is not presented in the accompanying financial statements.
In 2003, the Company adopted Statements of Korean Financial Accounting Standards
("SKAS") No 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, which are effective from January 1, 2003.
Those statements provide accounting and reporting standards for the interim
financial statements, intangible assets, revenue recognition, tangible assets,
events occurring after the balance sheet date, capitalization of interest costs,
marketable securities and convertible securities. The prior year financial
statements, which are presented for comparative purposes, were restated to
conform to the provisions of those standards. As a result of the adoption of
SKAS No. 6 - "Events Occurring After the Balance Sheet Date", shareholders'
equity increased and current liabilities decreased by Won511,350 million as of
December 31, 2002.
The U.S. dollar amounts presented in these financial statements were computed by
translating the Korean won into U.S. dollars based on the Bank of Korea Basic
Rate of Won1,193.10 to US $1.00 at June 30, 2003, solely for the convenience of
the reader. This convenience translation into U.S. dollars should not be
construed as representations that the Korean won amounts have been, could have
been, or could in the future be, converted at this or any other rate of
exchange.
The significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation
of its non-consolidated financial statements are summarized below.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost except for assets revalued
upward in accordance with the KEPCO Act and the Assets Revaluation Law of Korea.
Expenditures, as incurred after the acquisition of the property, plant and
equipment, that increases the future economic benefits beyond the property's
most recently measured performance, are capitalized as additions to property,
plant and equipment.
The Company capitalizes interest and other borrowing costs on debt issued to
finance capital expenditures as part of the acquisition cost of major facilities
and equipment. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the
amounts of capitalized interest was Won45,897 million and Won30,029 million,
respectively, and net foreign currency transactions and translation gains
deducted from the capitalized interest amounted to Won26,250 million for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2002.
The impact on the Company's financial position as of and for the six month
period ended June 30, 2003, if the interest and other borrowing costs were
expensed instead of being capitalized, are shown below (won in millions).

============ ============= =========== ============
Depreciation is computed using the declining-balance method (straight-line
method for buildings and structures) based on the estimated useful lives
described in the Korean Corporate Income Tax Law and as permitted under the
Accounting Regulations for Government Invested Enterprises as follows:
Years
------
Buildings 15, 30
Structures 15, 30
Machinery 16
Ships 9
Vehicles 4
Others 4

The Company assesses any possible recognition of impairment loss when there is
an indication that expected future economic benefits of a tangible asset is
considerably less than its carrying amount as a result of technological
obsolescence or rapid decline in market value. When it is determined that a
tangible asset may have been impaired and that its estimated total future cash
flows from continued use or disposal is less than its carrying amount, the
carrying amount of a tangible asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the
difference is recognized as an impairment loss. If the recoverable amount of the
impaired asset exceeds its carrying amount in subsequent reporting period, the
amount equal to the excess is treated as reversal of the impairment loss;
however, it cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined
had no impairment loss were recognized.
The Company records the following funds and materials, which relate to the
construction of transmission and distribution facilities as construction grants:
o Grants from the government or public institutions
o Funds, construction materials or other items contributed by customers
Construction grants are initially recorded and presented in the accompanying
financial statements as deductions from the assets acquired under such grants
and are offset against depreciation expense during the estimated useful lives of
the related assets. The Company received Won279,460 million of construction
grants, and offset Won61,285 million against depreciation expense, and Won18,274
million against utility plant removal cost for the six-month period ended June
30, 2003.
Accounting for Leases
Lease agreements that include a bargain purchase option, result in the transfer
of ownership by the end of the lease term, have a term equal to at least 75
percent of the estimated economic life of the leased property or where the
present value of the minimum lease payments at the beginning of the lease term
equals or exceeds 90 percent of the fair value of the leased property are
accounted for as financial or capital leases. All other leases are accounted for
as operating leases. Assets and liabilities related to financial leases are
recorded as property and equipment and long term debt, respectively, and the
related interest is calculated using the effective interest rate method. In
respect to operating leases, the future minimum lease payments are expensed
ratably over the lease term while contingent rentals are expensed as incurred.
Investment Securities other than those Accounted for Using the Equity Method
Classification of Securities
At acquisition, the Company classifies securities into one of the three
categories: trading, held-to-maturity or available-for-sale. Trading securities
are those that were acquired principally to generate profits from short-term
fluctuations in prices. Held-to-maturity securities are those with fixed and
determinable payments and fixed maturity that an enterprise has the positive
intent and ability to hold to maturity. Available-for-sale securities are those
not classified either as held-to-maturity or trading securities.
Valuation of Securities
Securities are recognized initially at cost determined using the weighted
average method. The cost includes the market value of the consideration given
and incidental expenses. If the market price of the consideration given is not
available, the market prices of the securities purchased are used as the basis
for measurement. If neither the market prices of the consideration given nor
those of the acquired securities are available, the acquisition cost is measured
at the best estimates of its fair value.
-3-
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 operations. Available-for-sale securities are also valued at fair
value, with unrealized gains and losses reflected in capital adjustments, until
the securities are sold or if the securities are determined to be impaired and
the lump-sum cumulative amount of capital adjustments are reflected in current
operations. 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 refers 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
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.
Securities are evaluated at each balance sheet date to determine whether there
is any objective evidence of impairment loss. When any such evidence exists,
unless there is a 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 the held-to-maturity security or non-marketable equity
security is measured as the difference between the recoverable amount and the
carrying amount. The recoverable amount of held-to maturity security is the
present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the securities'
original effective interest rate. For available-for-sale debt or marketable
equity security, the amount of impairment loss to be recognized in the current
period is determined by subtracting the amount of impairment loss of debt or
equity security already recognized in prior period from the amount of amortized
cost in excess of the recoverable amount for debt security or the amount of the
acquisition cost in excess of the fair value for equity security.
If the realizable value subsequently recovers, in case of a security stated at
fair value, the increase in value is recorded in current operation, up to the
amount of the previously recognized impairment loss, while for the security
stated at amortized cost or acquisition cost, the increase in value is recorded
in current operation, so that its recovered value does not exceed what its
amortized cost would be as of the recovery date if there had been no impairment
loss.
If the intent and ability to hold the securities change, transferred securities
are accounted for at fair value. In case held-to-maturity securities are
reclassified into available-for-sale securities, unrealized gain or loss between
the book value and fair value is reported in shareholders' equity as a capital
adjustment. In case the available for sale securities are reclassified into
held-to maturity securities, the unrealized gain or loss at the date of the
transfer continues to be reported in shareholder's equity as a capital
adjustment, but it is amortized over the remaining term of the security using
the effective interest method.
Investment Securities Using the Equity Method
Investments in equity securities of companies in which the Company is able to
exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the
investees are accounted for using the equity method. The change in the Company's
share of an investee's net equity resulting from a change in an investee's net
equity is reflected in current operations, retained earnings, and capital
adjustment in accordance with the causes of the change which consist of the
investee's net income (loss), changes in retained earnings and changes in
capital surplus and capital adjustments.
Intangibles
Intangible assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization computed
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, from 4 years to
20 years, of related assets.
-4-
If the recoverable amount of an intangible asset becomes less than its carrying
amount as a result of obsolescence, sharp decline in market value or other
causes of impairment, the carrying amount of an intangible asset is reduced to
its recoverable amount and the reduced amount is recognized as impairment loss.
If the recoverable amount of a previously impaired intangible asset exceeds its
carrying amount in subsequent periods, an amount equal to the excess shall be
recorded as reversal of impairment loss; however, it cannot exceed the carrying
amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss were recognized in
prior years.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management's
estimated loss on uncollectible accounts and prior year collection experience.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, cost being
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 year.
Discount on Debentures
Discounts on debentures issued are amortized over the redemption period of
debentures using the effective interest rate method. Amortization of discounts
is recognized as interest expense.
Accrued Severance Indemnities
Employees and directors with more than one year of service are entitled to
receive a lump-sum payment upon termination of their service with the Company,
based on their length of service and rate of pay at the time of termination. The
accrued severance indemnities that would be payable assuming all eligible
employees were to resign are Won253,492 million and Won226,708 million as of
June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. Actual severance payments
were Won4,374 million and Won3,387 million for the six-month periods ended June
30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Before April 1999, the Company and its employees paid 3 percent and 6 percent,
respectively, of monthly pay (as defined) to the National Pension Fund in
accordance with the National Pension Law of Korea. The Company paid half of the
employees' 6 percent portion and is paid back at the termination of service by
offsetting the receivable against the severance payments. Such receivables, with
a balance of Won95 million and Won99 million as of June 30, 2003 and December
31, 2002, respectively, are presented as a deduction from accrued severance
indemnities. Starting April 1999, the Company and its employees each pay 4.5
percent of monthly pay to the Fund under the revised National Pension Law of
Korea.
Reserve for Self-Insurance
The Company provides a self-insurance reserve for liability to third parties
that may arise in connection with the Company's non-insured facilities. Payments
made to settle applicable claims are charged to this reserve.
-5-
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation
The Company maintains its accounts in Korean won. Transactions in foreign
currencies are recorded in Korean won based on the prevailing rates of exchange
on the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities with balances
denominated in foreign currencies are recorded and reported in the accompanying
financial statements at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date.
The balances have been translated using the Bank of Korea Basic Rate, which was
Won1,193.10 and Won1,200.40 to US$ 1.00 at June 30, 2003 and December
31, 2002, respectively. The translation gains or losses are reflected in current
operations.
Accounting for Derivative Instruments
All derivative instruments are accounted for at fair value with the valuation
gain or loss recorded as an asset or liability. If the derivative instrument is
not part of a transaction qualifying as a hedge, the adjustment to fair value is
reflected in current operations. The accounting for derivative transactions that
are part of a qualified hedge based both on the purpose of the transaction and
on meeting the specified criteria for hedge accounting differs depending on
whether the transaction is a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge. Fair value
hedge accounting is applied to a derivative instrument designated as hedging the
exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or a firm
commitment (hedged item) that is attributable to a particular risk. The gain or
loss both on the hedging derivative instruments and on the hedged item
attributable to the hedged risk is reflected in current operations. Cash flow
hedge accounting is applied to a derivative instrument designated as hedging the
exposure to variability in expected future cash flows of an asset or a liability
or a forecasted transaction that is attributable to a particular risk. The
effective portion of gain or loss on a derivative instrument designated as a
cash flow hedge is recorded as a capital adjustment and the ineffective portion
is recorded in current operations. The effective portion of gain or loss
recorded as a capital adjustment is reclassified to current earnings in the same
period during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. If the
hedged transaction results in the acquisition of an asset or the incurrence of a
liability, the gain or loss in capital adjustment is added to or deducted from
the asset or the liability.
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.
Income Tax Expense
The Company recognizes deferred income taxes arising from temporary differences
between pretax accounting income and taxable income. Accordingly, the provision
for income tax expense 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. However, deferred income tax assets are
recognized only if the future tax benefits on accumulated temporary differences
are realizable. The deferred income tax assets and liabilities will be charged
or credited to income tax expense in the period each temporary difference
reverses in the future. Deferred income taxes will be recalculated based on the
actual tax rate in effect at each balance sheet date.
Ordinary Income Per Share and Earnings Per Share
Ordinary income per share and earnings per share are computed by dividing
ordinary income (after deduction for tax effect) and net income by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The number of
shares used in computing earnings and ordinary income per share is 629,259,682
shares and 639,008,899 shares for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2003
and 2002, respectively, and 631,387,812 shares and 638,988,360 shares for the
six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Comparative Presentation
The Company does not present cash flows for the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2002 for comparative purposes in accordance with
transitional provision of SKAS No. 2 - "Interim Financial Statements".
