Independent Auditors’ Review Report

Based on a report originally issued in Korean

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

POSCO:

Reviewed financial statements

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed separate interim financial statements of POSCO (the “Company”), which comprise the condensed separate interim statement of financial position as of June 30, 2014, the condensed separate interim statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the condensed separate interim statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and notes to the interim financial statements.

Management’s responsibility

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

Auditor’s review responsibility

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

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

Conclusion

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

These condensed interim financial statements are separate interim financial statements in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1027 “Separate Financial Statements” presented by a parent, an investor in a subsidiary, an associate or a venture in a jointly controlled entity, in which the investments are accounted for on the basis of the direct equity interest rather than on the basis of the reported results and net assets of the investees.

Use of estimates and judgments

 

(a) Judgements, assumptions and estimation uncertainties

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

In preparing these condensed separate interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainties were the same as those that applied to the separate financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

(b) Measurement of fair value

The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes a valuation team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values, and reports directly to the financial officer.

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

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows.

 

    Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

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

 

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

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

Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in Note 20.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Except as described in K-IFRS No. 1034 “Interim Financial Reporting” and below, the accounting policies applied by the Company in these condensed separate interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its separate financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013. The following changes in accounting policies are also expected to be reflected in the Company’s separate financial statements as of and for the year ending December 31, 2014.

(a) Changes in accounting policies

The Company has adopted the following new standards and amendments to standards with a date of initial application of January 1, 2014.

1) K-IFRS No. 1032, “Financial Instruments: Presentation”

2) K-IFRS No. 1036, “Impairment of Assets”

3) K-IFRS No. 2121, “Levies”

The details of changes in accounting policies are as follows:

1) Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities

The Company has applied the amendments to K-IFRS No. 1032, “Financial Instruments: Presentation” since January 1, 2014. The amendments, which should be applied retrospectively, require that a financial asset and a financial liability shall be offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position only when the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

A legally enforceable right of set-off must not be contingent on a future event and must be legally enforceable in the normal course of business, the event of default and the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparties.

If the Company can settle amounts in a manner such that the outcome is, in effect, equivalent to net settlement, the Company will meet the net settlement criterion. The net settlement criterion will occur only if the gross settlement mechanism has features that eliminate or result in insignificant credit and liquidity risk, and that will process receivables and payables in a single settlement process or cycle.

2) Disclosure of impairment loss

The Company has applied the amendments to K-IFRS No. 1036, “Impairment of Assets” since January 1, 2014. The amendments, which should be applied retrospectively, require disclosure of the recoverable amount only if the Company recognized an impairment loss on goodwill or an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life for an individual asset or cash-generating unit.

3) Levies

The Company has adopted K-IFRS No. 2121, “Levies” with a date of initial application of January 1, 2014. K-IFRS No. 2121, which should be applied retrospectively, defines the obligating event that gives rise to a liability to pay a levy is the activity that triggers the payment of the levy, as identified by legislation. The liability to pay a levy is recognized progressively if the obligating event occurs over a period of time. If the obligating event is the reaching of a minimum activity threshold, the corresponding liability is recognized when that minimum activity threshold is reached. The Company shall recognize an asset if it has prepaid a levy but does not yet have a present obligation to pay that levy.

(b) Impact of changes in accounting policy

Upon adoption of K-IFRS No. 1032 and K-IFRS No. 2121, there is no impact on the Company’s prior year’s separate financial statements. Upon adoption of K-IFRS No. 1036, the Company will make the required disclosures in the annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2014 as applicable.

(*1) The fair value of available-for-sale financial assets publicly traded is measured at the closing bid price quoted at the end of the reporting period. Meanwhile, the fair value of unquoted available-for-sale financial assets is calculated using the valuation results from an external pricing service in which weighted average cost of capital of evaluated companies are used as a discount rate. The book value of available-for-sale financial assets accounted for at cost is not included.
(*2) The fair value of derivatives is measured using valuation models such as Black-scholes model and others in which the market yields on government bonds are used as a discount rate.
(*3) The fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost is determined at the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market interest rate. The fair value is calculated for the disclosures in the notes. On the other hand, the Company has not performed fair value measurement for the financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost except borrowings since the fair value is close to their carrying amounts.

30. Income Taxes

Income tax expense was recognized as current tax expense adjusted to current adjustments for prior periods, deferred tax benefit/expenses by origination and reversal of deferred assets/liabilities and temporary differences, and income tax recognized in other comprehensive income. The effective tax rate of the Company for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was 33.6% and 15.0%, respectively. The change in effective tax rate was caused mainly by additional income tax payment (₩59,168 million) due to tax investigation and non-deductible expense primarily related to additional VAT payment (note 28) in 2014.

33. Commitments and Contingencies

 

(a) Commitments

The Company entered into long-term contracts to purchase iron ore, coal, nickel and others. The contracts of iron ore and coal generally have terms of more than three years and the contracts of nickel have terms of more than one year. These contracts provide for periodic price adjustments based on the market price. As of June 30, 2014, 165 million tons of iron ore and 7 million tons of coal remained to be purchased under such long-term contracts.

The Company entered into an agreement with Tangguh Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Consortium in Indonesia to purchase 550 thousand tons of LNG annually for 20 years commencing in August 2005. The purchase price is subject to change, based on changes of the monthly standard oil price (JCC) and with a price ceiling.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company entered into commitments with Korea National Oil Corporation for long-term foreign currency borrowings, which are limited up to the amount of USD 6.86 million, USD 6.58 million and USD 4.12 million. The borrowings are related to the exploration of gas hydrates in Aral Sea, Uzbekistan, the exploration of gas hydrates in Namangan-Chust and the exploration of gas hydrates in Western Fergana-Chenavard, respectively. The repayment of the borrowings depends on the success of the projects. The Company is not liable for the repayment of full or part of the money borrowed if the respective projects fail. The Company has agreed to pay a certain portion of its profits under certain conditions, as defined by the borrowing agreements.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company has provided two blank checks to Korea Resources Corporation as collateral for long-term domestic borrowings, and has provided six blank promissory notes and three blank checks to Korea National Oil Corporation as collateral for long-term foreign currency borrowings.

 

(b) Litigation in progress

 

  1) Civil lawsuits with Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation

In April 2012, Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation filed a civil lawsuit in the Tokyo District Court of Japan against POSCO and POSCO Japan Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of POSCO, to prohibit production and sales of grain oriented electrical steel sheets using improperly acquired trade secrets and seeking compensation from the Company of ₩986 billion. Through trials to June 30, 2014, the Company submitted its responses that the Japan court did not have jurisdiction on this lawsuit as it should be judged by Korean law and the Company developed grain oriented electrical steel sheets using the Company’s own technologies. As of June 30, 2014, the Japan court has not made any judgments on this matter. Since the Company does not believe that it has any present obligation, the Company has not recorded any provision for this lawsuit as of June 30, 2014.

In addition, Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation filed a civil lawsuit in the New Jersey federal court, United States, against POSCO and POSCO America Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of POSCO, claiming infringement of intellectual property rights related to the production of grain oriented electrical steel sheets. Since the Company does not believe that it has any present obligation, the Company has not recorded any provision for this lawsuit as of June 30, 2014. An estimate of possible loss cannot be reliably determined because the lawsuit is still in the discovery stage and no claim amount has been specified.

  2) Other lawsuits and claims

The Company is involved in 36 other lawsuits and claims for alleged damages aggregating to ₩68.6 billion as of June 30, 2014 which arose in the ordinary course of business. The Company has recognized provisions amounting to ₩7.3 billion for 8 lawsuits and claims based on its reliable estimate of outflow of resources. However, the Company has not recognized any provisions for other 28 lawsuits and claims since the Company believes that it does not have a present obligation as of June 30, 2014.

 

(c) The Company has provided a supplemental funding agreement, as the largest shareholder, as requested from the creditors, including Norddeutsche Landesbank, for seamless funding to the construction of new power plant by POSCO Energy Co., Ltd.

Independent Auditors’ Review Report

Based on a report originally issued in Korean

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

POSCO:

Reviewed financial statements

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements of POSCO and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as of June 30, 2014, the condensed consolidated interim statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the condensed consolidated interim statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and notes to the interim financial statements.

Management’s responsibility

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

Auditors’ review responsibility

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

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

Conclusion

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


Other matters

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

The consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, which are not accompanying this report, were audited by us and our report thereon, dated February 25, 2014, expressed an unqualified opinion. The accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2013, presented for comparative purposes, is not different from that audited by us from which it was derived in all material respects.

Seoul, Korea

August 12, 2014

This report is effective as of August 12, 2014, the review report date. Certain subsequent events or circumstances, which may occur between the review report date and the time of reading this report, could have a material impact on the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Accordingly, the readers of the review report should understand that the above review report has not been updated to reflect the impact of such subsequent events or circumstances, if any.

2. Statement of Compliance

Statement of compliance

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

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1034 “Interim Financial Reporting” as part of the period covered by the Company’s K-IFRS annual financial statements. Selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Company since the last annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required for full annual financial statements.

Use of estimates and judgments

 

(a) Judgements, assumptions and estimation uncertainties

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

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainties were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

(b) Measurement of fair value

The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes a valuation team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values, and reports directly to the financial officer.

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

 

11


POSCO and Subsidiaries

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

As of June 30, 2014, Continued

(Unaudited)

 

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows.

 

    Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

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

 

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

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

Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in Note 21.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Except as described in K-IFRS No. 1034 “Interim Financial Reporting” and below, the accounting policies applied by the Company in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013. The following changes in accounting policies are also expected to be reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ending December 31, 2014.

(a) Changes in accounting policies

The Company has adopted the following new standards and amendments to standards with a date of initial application of January 1, 2014.

1) K-IFRS No. 1032, “Financial Instruments: Presentation”

2) K-IFRS No. 1036, “Impairment of Assets”

3) K-IFRS No. 2121, “Levies”

The details of changes in accounting policies are as follows:

1) Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities

The Company has applied the amendments to K-IFRS No. 1032, “Financial Instruments: Presentation” since January 1, 2014. The amendments, which should be applied retrospectively, require that a financial asset and a financial liability shall be offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position only when the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

A legally enforceable right of set-off must not be contingent on a future event and must be legally enforceable in the normal course of business, the event of default and the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparties.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

As of June 30, 2014, Continued

(Unaudited)

 

If the Company can settle amounts in a manner such that the outcome is, in effect, equivalent to net settlement, the Company will meet the net settlement criterion. The net settlement criterion will occur only if the gross settlement mechanism has features that eliminate or result in insignificant credit and liquidity risk, and that will process receivables and payables in a single settlement process or cycle.

2) Disclosure of impairment loss

The Company has applied the amendments to K-IFRS No. 1036, “Impairment of Assets” since January 1, 2014. The amendments, which should be applied retrospectively, require disclosure of the recoverable amount only if the Company recognized an impairment loss on goodwill or an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life for an individual asset or cash-generating unit.

3) Levies

The Company has adopted K-IFRS No. 2121, “Levies” with a date of initial application of January 1, 2014. K-IFRS No. 2121, which should be applied retrospectively, defines the obligating event that gives rise to a liability to pay a levy is the activity that triggers the payment of the levy, as identified by legislation. The liability to pay a levy is recognized progressively if the obligating event occurs over a period of time. If the obligating event is the reaching of a minimum activity threshold, the corresponding liability is recognized when that minimum activity threshold is reached. The Company shall recognize an asset if it has prepaid a levy but does not yet have a present obligation to pay that levy.

(b) Impact of changes in accounting policy

Upon adoption of K-IFRS No. 1032 and K-IFRS No. 2121, there is no impact on the Company’s prior year’s consolidated financial statements. Upon adoption of K-IFRS No. 1036, the Company will make the required disclosures in the annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2014 as applicable.

(*1) The fair value of available-for-sale financial assets publicly traded is measured at the closing bid price quoted at the end of the reporting period. Meanwhile, the fair value of unquoted available-for-sale financial assets is calculated using the valuation results from an external pricing service in which weighted average cost of capital of evaluated companies are used as a discount rate. The book value of available-for-sale financial assets accounted for at cost is not included.
(*2) The fair value of derivatives is measured using valuation models such as Black-scholes model and others in which the market yields on government bonds are used as a discount rate.
(*3) The fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost is determined at the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market interest rate. The fair value is calculated for the disclosures in the notes. On the other hand, the Company has not performed fair value measurement for the financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost except borrowings since the fair value is close to their carrying amounts.

31. Income Taxes

Income tax expense was recognized as current tax expense adjusted to current adjustments for prior periods, deferred tax benefit/expenses by origination and reversal of deferred assets/liabilities and temporary differences, and income tax recognized in other comprehensive income. The effective tax rate of the Company for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was 45.1% and 24.6%, respectively. The change in effective tax rate was caused mainly by additional income tax payment (₩64,987 million) due to tax investigation and non-deductible expense primarily related to additional VAT payment (note 29) in 2014.

(d) Litigation in progress

As of June 30, 2014, the Company and certain subsidiaries are defendants in legal actions arising from the normal course of business.

 

  1) Civil lawsuits with Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation

In April 2012, Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation filed a civil lawsuit in the Tokyo District Court of Japan against POSCO and POSCO Japan Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of POSCO, to prohibit production and sales of grain oriented electrical steel sheets using improperly acquired trade secrets and seeking compensation from the Company of ₩986 billion. Through trials to June 30, 2014, the Company submitted its responses that the Japan court did not have jurisdiction on this lawsuit as it should be judged by Korean law and the Company developed grain oriented electrical steel sheets using the Company’s own technologies. As of June 30, 2014, the Japan court has not made any judgments on this matter. Since the Company does not believe that it has any present obligation, the Company has not recorded any provision for this lawsuit as of June 30, 2014.

In addition, Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation filed a civil lawsuit in the New Jersey federal court, United States, against POSCO and POSCO America Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of POSCO, claiming infringement of intellectual property rights related to the production of grain oriented electrical steel sheets. Since the Company does not believe that it has any present obligation, the Company has not recorded any provision for this lawsuit as of June 30, 2014. An estimate of possible loss cannot be reliably determined because the lawsuit is still in the discovery stage and no claim amount has been specified.

 

  2) Other lawsuits and claims

The Company is involved in 190 other lawsuits and claims for alleged damages aggregating to ₩363 billion as of June 30, 2014 which arose in the ordinary course of business. The Company made a reliable estimate for 10 lawsuits among the above 190 lawsuits and claims by considering the possibility and amount of outflow of resources and recognized ₩37 billion as provisions for legal contingencies and claims (note 18). Since the Company believes that the Company does not have a present obligation as a result of the lawsuits and claims except the 10 lawsuits for which provision is recognized, the Company has not recorded any provisions for the other lawsuits as of June 30, 2014.
