KOREA ELECTRIC POWER CORPORATION
Non-consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
As of March 31, 2004
(With Independent Accountants' Review Report Thereon)
Independent Accountants' Review Report
Based on a report originally issued in Korean
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Korea Electric Power Corporation:
We have reviewed the accompanying non-consolidated balance sheet of Korea
Electric Power Corporation (the "Company") as of March 31, 2004 and the related
non-consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month period
then ended. 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 did not review the financial statements of
Korea Southern Power Co., Ltd., Korea Midland Power Co., Ltd. and Korea
South-East Power Co., Ltd. whose total assets constituted 11.1% of the total
non-consolidated assets as of March 31, 2004, and whose total income constituted
15.7% of non-consolidated income before income tax for the three-month period
then ended. These financial statements were reviewed by other accountants whose
reports have been furnished to us, and our report, insofar as it relates to the
amounts included for Korea Southern Power Co., Ltd., Korea Midland Power Co.,
Ltd. and Korea South-East Power Co., Ltd., is based solely on the reports of the
other accountants.
We conducted our review in accordance with the Review Standards for Semiannual
Financial Statements established by the Securities and Futures Commission of 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 consists principally of inquiries of company
personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and, thus provides
less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly,
we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review and the reports of the other accountants, nothing has come
to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial statements
referred to above are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in
accordance with the Korea Electric Power Corporation Act, the Accounting
Regulations for Government Invested Enterprises and the Financial Accounting
Standards, as established by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the
Republic of Korea.
The accompanying non-consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2003, presented for comparative purpose, were
reviewed by other accountants, whose report dated May 6, 2003 stated that they
were not aware of any material modifications that should have been made to the
financial statements in order 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 as established by
the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of Korea.
The accompanying non-consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December
31, 2003 and the related non-consolidated statements of operations, changes in
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended, which are not
accompanying this report were audited by other accountants and their report
thereon, dated February 11, 2004, expressed an unqualified opinion. The
accompanying non-consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31,
2003, presented for comparative purposes is not different from the above-stated
balance sheet audited by other accountants in all material respects.
The accompanying financial statements have been translated into United States
dollars solely for the convenience of the reader and have been translated on the
basis set forth in Note 2 to the non-consolidated financial statements.
The following matters may be helpful to the readers in their understanding
of the financial statements:
As discussed in Note 1(b) to the financial statements, accounting principles and
auditing 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. 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 and auditing standards and their application in
practice.
As discussed in Note 7 and 26, sales and purchases to and from related parties,
including the six power generation subsidiaries, amounted to W132,692 million
and W3,961,410 million, respectively, for the three-month period ended March 31,
2004. Related receivables and payables amounted to W302,486 million and
W1,168,085 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2004. The Company is providing
debt guarantees to the extent not exceeding US$ 274,395 thousand for its foreign
related subsidiaries including KEPCO Ilijan Co. The Company also has loans of
W161,203 million to employees as of March 31, 2004.
The Company and its six power generation companies including Korea Hydro &
Nuclear Power Co., Ltd. are jointly and severally liable for outstanding debts
as of March 31, 2004 assumed by each company at the time of spin-off on April 2,
2001 under the Commercial Code of the Republic of Korea. The Company is
providing joint and several liability guarantee for debts of its six power
generation companies amounting to W2,122,167 million and the six power
generation companies are providing such a guarantee for debts of the Company
amounting to W 128,037 million. The Company is also provided with guarantees for
its certain foreign currency debt by the Korea Development Bank, one of its
major shareholders.

Development Bank and foreign investors hold 32.42%, 21.55% and 28.77%,
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, which is 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.
(b) Basis of Presenting Financial Statements
The Company maintains its accounting records in Korean Won and
prepares statutory financial statements in the Korean language
(Hangul) in conformity with the Korea Electric Power Corporation Act
("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 financial statements are intended for
use only by those who are informed about Korean accounting principles
and practices, KEPCO 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.

Financial Statements, Continued
(b) Basis of Presenting Financial Statements, Continued
Certain information included in the Korean language financial
statements, but not required for a fair presentation of the Company's
financial position, results of operations or cash flows, is not
presented in the accompanying financial statements.
The accompanying financial statements include only the accounts of the
Company, and do not include the accounts of any of its subsidiaries.
Instead, these entities are accounted for under the equity method of
accounting (note 6).
Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted Statements of Korean
Financial Accounting Standards ("SKAS") No. 2 through No. 9. 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.
As a result of the accounting change of capitalizing interest costs,
which is applied prospectively, capitalized interest for three month
period ended March 31, 2003 decreased by W63,746 million compared to
the previous method. 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 W511,350 million as of
December 31, 2002.
Effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted Statements of Korea
Accounting Standards No. 10, 12 and 13. The adoption of these
standards did not have a significant impact on accompanying financial
statements.
(c) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, except in the case
of revaluation made in accordance with the KEPCO Act and the Assets
Revaluation Law of Korea. Plant and equipment under capital leases are
stated at an amount equal to the lower of their fair value or the
present value of minimum lease payments at inception of lease.
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 cost and other financial charges on
borrowing 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. As described in note
1(b), effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted Statement of
Korea Accounting Standards No. 7, "Capitalization of Interest Costs".
Under this standard, the calculation of capitalized interest includes
exchange differences arising from foreign 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. For the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, the amount of
capitalized interest was W16,024 million and W26,574 million,
respectively, of which net foreign currency transactions and
translation gains deducted from the capitalized interest in
calculation of capitalized interest rate amounted to W55,808 million
and nil, respectively for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004
and 2003.

The impact on the Company's financial position as of and for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2004, if the interest and other
borrowing costs were expensed instead of being capitalized, is as
follows.

Depreciation is computed by declining-balance method (straight-line
method for buildings and structures) using rates 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:
Estimated useful life

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 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 W117,493 million and W123,238 million of construction grants,
and offset W32,256 million and W29,571 million against depreciation
expense, and W17,886 million and W7,898 million against utility plant
removal cost for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and
2003, respectively.

(d) Leases
The Company accounts for and classifies its lease transactions as
either operating or capital leases, depending on the terms of the
lease under Korea Lease Accounting Standards. If a lease is
substantially noncancellable and meets any of the criteria listed
below, the present value of future minimum lease payments is reflected
as an obligation under capital lease.
- Ownership of the leased property shall be transferred to the
lessee at the end of the lease term without additional payment or
for a contract price.
- The lease has a bargain purchase option.
- The lease term is equal to 75% or more of the estimated economic
useful life of the leased property.
- The present value at the beginning of the lease term of the
minimum lease payments equals or exceeds 90% of the fair value of
the leased property.
If the above criteria are not met, the lease is classified as an
operating lease and lease payments are expensed under straight-line
over the lease term.
(e) Investments in Securities
Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted Statement of Korea
Accounting Standards (SKAS) No. 8, "Investments in Securities." In
accordance with SKAS No. 8, certain debt and equity securities should
be classified into one of the three categories of held-to-maturity,
available-for-sale, or trading securities at the time of acquisition
and such determination should be 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.
Trading securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding
gains and losses included in earnings. Available-for-sale securities
are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses
reported as a capital adjustment. Investments in equity securities
that do not have readily determinable fair values are stated at cost.
Declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary on
available-for-sale securities are charged to current results of
operations. Investments in debt securities that are classified into
held-to-maturity are reported at amortized cost at the balance sheet
date and such amortization is included in interest income.
Marketable securities are at the quoted market prices as of the period
end. Non-marketable debt securities are recorded at the fair values
derived from the discounted cash flows by using an interest rate
deemed to approximate the market interest rate. The market interest
rate is determined by the issuers' credit rate announced by the
accredited credit rating agencies in Korea. Money market funds are
recorded at the fair value determined by the investment management
companies.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presenting
Financial Statements, Continued
(e) Investments in Securities, Continued
Trading securities are classified as current assets, whereas
available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities are
classified as long-term investments. However, available-for-sale
securities whose maturity dates are due within one year from the
balance sheet date or whose likelihood of being disposed of within one
year from the balance sheet date is probable are classified as current
assets. Likewise, held-to-maturity securities whose maturity dates are
due within one year from the balance sheet date are classified as
current assets.
(f) Investment Securities under the Equity Method of Accounting
Investments in affiliated companies owned 20% or more or over which
the Company has significant management control are stated at an amount
as determined using the equity method.
Under the equity method of accounting, the Company's initial
investment is recorded at cost and is subsequently increased to
reflect the Company's share of the investee income and reduced to
reflect the Company's share of the investee losses or dividends
received. Any excess in the Company's acquisition cost over the
Company's share of the investee's identifiable net assets is generally
recorded as goodwill or other intangibles and amortized by the
straight-line method over the estimated useful life. The amortization
of goodwill is recorded against the equity income 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, the Company does not record its
share of losses of affiliate companies when such losses would make the
Company's investment in such entity less than zero.
(g) Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization, as
described below.
(i) Research and Development Costs
Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospects
of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and
understanding, is recognized in the statement of income as an
expense as incurred.
Expenditure on development incurred in conjunction with new
products or technologies, in which the elements of costs can be
identified and future economic benefits are clearly expected, is
capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years.
The capitalized expenditure includes the cost of materials,
direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overheads.
(ii) Other Intangible Assets
Other intangible assets, which consist of 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.

(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 financial instruments handled by
financial institutions which are held for short-term cash management
purposes or will mature within one year, including time deposits,
installment savings deposits, restricted bank deposits.
(j) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on an analysis of
individual accounts and past experience of collection.
(k) 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. In accordance with the Company's policy for
physical inventory counts, the Company did not perform a physical
count of the inventory as of March 31, 2004 and 2003.
Effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted Statement of Korea
Accounting Standards No. 10, "Inventories". Through 2003, a valuation
loss incurred when the market value of inventory falls below its
carrying amount was reported as non-operating expense. In 2004, in
accordance with SKAS No.10, the Company included inventory valuation
loss in its cost of goods sold ("a component of operating expenses").
(l) Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets, whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be
recognized when estimated undiscounted future net cash flows expected
to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are
less than its carrying amount. If such assets are considered to be
impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by
which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the
assets.

(m) Valuation of Receivables and Payables at Present Value
Receivables and payables arising from long-term installment
transactions, long-term cash loans/borrowings and other similar
loan/borrowing transactions are stated at present value.
The difference between nominal value and present value is deducted
directly from the nominal value of related receivables or payables and
is amortized using the effective interest method. The amount amortized
is included in interest expense or interest income.
(n) Convertible Bonds
When issuing convertible bonds or bonds with stock purchase warrants,
the values of the conversion rights or stock warrants shall be
recognized separately. Considerations for conversion rights or stock
warrants shall be measured by deducting the present value of ordinary
or straight debt securities from the gross proceeds of the convertible
bonds or bonds with stock purchase warrants received at the date of
issue.
The value of the common shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the
conversion rights shall be 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 those convertible bonds
that are actually related to the exercise.
When the conversion rights are exercised during an accounting period,
the value of common shares issued pursuant to the exercise shall be
measured based on the carrying amount of the convertible bonds
determined on the actual date such rights have been exercised.
(o) Discount (Premium) on Debentures
Discount (premium) on debenture issued, which represents the
difference between the face value and issuance price of debentures, is
amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the
debentures. The amount amortized is included in interest expense.
(p) 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 rates of
pay and length of service when they leave the Company. The Company's
estimated liability under the plan which would be payable if all
employees left on the balance sheet date is accrued in the
accompanying balance sheets.
Through March 1999, under the National Pension Scheme of Korea, the
Company transferred a certain portion of retirement allowances of
employees to the National Pension Fund. The amount transferred will
reduce the retirement and severance benefit amount to be payable to
the employees when they leave the Company and is accordingly reflected
in the accompanying financial statements as a reduction from the
retirement and severance benefit liability. Since April 1999, however,
a new regulation applies and such transfers to the National Pension
Fund are no longer required.

(q) 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.
(r) 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 and losses recognized in current results of
operations. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are translated into Korean Won at W1,153.6 to US$1, the
rate of exchange on March 31, 2004 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 ruling at the
date of the transaction.
Foreign currency assets and liabilities of foreign-based operations
and companies accounted for using the equity method are translated at
current rate of exchange at the balance sheet date while profit and
loss items in the statement of income are translated at average rate
and capital account at historical rate. The translation gains and
losses arising from collective translation of the foreign currency
financial statements of foreign-based operations are offset and the
balance is accumulated as capital adjustment.
(s) Derivatives
Derivative instruments are presented as assets or liabilities valued
principally at the fair value of rights or obligations associated with
the derivative contracts. The unrealized gain or loss from derivative
transactions is recognized in current operations.
However, for derivative instruments with the purpose of hedging the
exposure to the variability of cash flows of a forecasted transaction,
the hedge-effective portion of the derivative's gain or loss is
deferred as a capital adjustment, a component of stockholder's equity.
The ineffective portion of the gain or loss is charged or credited to
current results of operations.
(t) Contingent Liabilities
Contingent losses are generally recognized as a liability when
probable and reasonably estimable.
(u) 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 People's 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
Company's revenue-earning activities have been substantially
completed, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, and it is
probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction
will flow to the Company.

(v) Income Taxes
Income tax on the earnings or loss for the period comprises current
and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the statement of income
except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly to
equity, in which case it is recognized in equity.
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 of realization or settlement
of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, 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 earnings 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.
(w) Dividends payable
As described in note 1(b), effective January 1, 2003, the Company
adopted Statement of Korea Accounting Standards No. 6, "Events
Occurring After the Balance Sheet Date". Under this standard,
dividends are not recorded until approved by the board of director and
shareholders.
(x) Prior Period Adjustments
Prior period adjustments resulting from other than fundamental errors
are charged or credited to net income for the current period. The
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 the fundamental errors are charged or credited to the
beginning balance of retained earnings, and the financial statements
of the prior year are restated.
(y) Earnings Per Share
Earnings per common share are calculated by dividing net earnings by
the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during each period.
(z) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and related notes to financial
statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

=========== ==========
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 or offset against accumulated deficit by the resolution of
the shareholders.
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 obtained 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 reserves for the investment on social overhead capital and research and
human development are appropriated by the Company to avail itself of
qualified tax credits to reduce corporate tax liabilities. This reserve is
not available for cash dividends for a certain period as defined in the Tax
Incentive Control Law.
