Independent Auditors’ Report
Based on a report originally issued in Korean
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Gravity Co., Ltd.:
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying separate financial statements of Gravity Co., Ltd (“the Company”), which comprise the separate statements of financial position as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the separate statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the separate financial statements comprising significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
In our opinion, the accompanying separate financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the separate financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its separate financial performance and its separate cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS”).
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing (KSAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Separate Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the separate financial statements in the Republic of Korea, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
The procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to audit such separate financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Separate Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the separate financial statements in accordance with K-IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of separate financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the separate financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
1
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Separate Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with KSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these separate financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with KSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
|
• |
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. |
|
|
• |
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. |
|
|
• |
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. |
|
|
• |
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the separate financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. |
|
|
• |
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the separate financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. |
|
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Seoul, Korea
March 23, 2021
This report is effective as of March 23, 2021, 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 separate financial statements and notes thereto. Accordingly, the readers of the audit report should understand that the above audit report has not been updated to reflect the impact of such subsequent events or circumstances, if any.

2. Basis of Presentation
These separate financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS”), as prescribed in the Act on External Audits of Stock Companies, Etc. in the Republic of Korea.
These separate financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on March 9, 2021, which will be submitted for approval at the shareholders’ meeting to be held on March 31, 2021.
(1) Basis of measurement
The separate financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.
(2) Use of judgments and estimates
The preparation of the separate 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.
The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as follows:

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019
2. Basis of Presentation, Continued
(2) Use of judgments and estimates, Continued
(a) Deferred revenue
As discussed in Note 4 (13), the Company sells virtual currency and items that can be used in online and mobile games to game users. For each game in each country, the Company estimates and applies the game user's life cycle in order to recognize revenue generated by micro-transactions. The game user's life cycle is estimated based on the average period from the game user's first payment date to the last access date for active paying game users. The Company considers a game user as an active user if the period between the time of the user’s most recent access of the game and the end of reporting period equals or is shorter than the estimated game users’ life cycle. For remaining amounts of virtual currency and items that active users own at period-end, the related revenue is deferred considering whether the virtual currency is refundable and items’ attributes. The Company estimates the user’s life cycle by analyzing game users’ activity patterns such as payment and access and it periodically reviews if there is any change of these estimates.
(b) Deferred tax assets
When the Company assesses the realizability of the deferred tax assets, the Company considers its performance, general economic environment, projected future taxable income, and periods available to utilize tax loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. The Company periodically monitors the estimates used in assessing the realizability of the deferred tax assets. The amount of deferred tax assets may be changed if estimated future taxable income during the carryforward periods changes.
3. Changes in Accounting Policies
The Company has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for the annual reporting period commencing January 1, 2020.
(1) Amendments to K-IFRS No. 1001 Presentation of Financial Statements and K-IFRS No. 1008 Accounting policies and errors
The amendments clarify the definition of material. Information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence the decisions that the primary users of general-purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. The amendments do not have a significant impact on the separate financial statements.
(2) Amendments to K-IFRS No. 1103 Business Combination
The amended definition of a business requires an acquisition to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs and the definition of output excludes the returns in the form of lower costs and other economic benefits. If substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, an entity may elect to apply an optional concentration test that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. The amendments do not have a significant impact on the separate financial statements.

(3) Amendment to K-IFRS No. 1109 Financial Instruments, K-IFRS No. 1107 Financial Instruments: Recognition and K-IFRS No. 1039 Financial Instruments: Disclosure
The amendments allow to apply the exceptions in relation the application of hedge accounting while uncertainties arising from interest rate benchmark reform exist. The exceptions require the Company assumes that the interest rate benchmark on which the hedged items and the hedging instruments are based on is not altered as a result of interest rate benchmark reform, when determining whether the expected cash flows are highly probable, whether an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument exists, and when assessing the hedging relationship is highly effective. The amendments do not have a significant impact on the separate financial statements.
(4) Amendments to the Conceptual framework for financial reporting
The concept of measurement, presentation and disclosure, and derecognition was introduced for financial reporting, and the definition and recognition criteria for assets and liabilities were amended. In addition, the uncertainty in the measurement of prudence, stewardship, measurement, uncertainty and substance over form were clarified.
4. Significant Accounting Policies

(3) Financial Assets
(a) Classification
At initial recognition, the Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
|
• |
measured at fair value through profit or loss; |
|
• |
measured at amortized cost. |
The classification depends on the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
For financial assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held. The Company reclassifies debt investments when, and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.
For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income. Changes in fair value of equity instruments not elected as equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income will be recognized in profit or loss.
(b) Measurement
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, for financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.
Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.

(b) Measurement, Continued
(i) Debt instruments
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Company’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. The Company classifies its debt instruments into one of the following three measurement categories:
|
• |
Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at amortized cost and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in ‘finance income’ using the effective interest rate method. |
|
• |
Fair value through other comprehensive income: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through other comprehensive income, except for the recognition of impairment loss (reversal of impairment loss), interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognized in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss. Interest income from these financial assets is included in ‘finance income’ using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in ‘finance income or costs’ and impairment losses are presented in ‘other non-operating expenses’. |
|
• |
Fair value through profit or loss: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in profit or loss and presented net in the statement of profit or loss within ‘other non-operating income or expenses’ in the year in which it arises. |

(b) Measurement, Continued
(ii) Equity instruments
The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Company’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments, which are held for long-term investment or strategic purpose, in other comprehensive income. There is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividend income from such investments continue to be recognized in profit or loss as ‘finance income’ when the right to receive payments is established.
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in ‘other non-operating income and expenses’ in the statement of profit or loss as applicable. Impairment loss (reversal of impairment loss) on equity investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.
(c) Impairment
The Company recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses(“ECLs”) on:
|
• |
financial assets measured at amortized cost; |
|
• |
debt investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income; and |
|
• |
contract assets under K-IFRS No. 1115. |
The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, except for the following, which are measured at 12-month ECLs:
|
• |
debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and |
|
• |
other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition. |
Loss allowances for accounts and other receivables (including lease receivables) and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Company’s historical experience and informed credit assessment, that includes forward-looking information.

(c) Impairment, Continued
The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when:
|
• |
the debtor is unlikely to pay its obligations to the Company in full, without recourse by the Company to actions such as realizing security (if any is held); or |
|
• |
the financial asset is more than 90 days past due. |
Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).
The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.
ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost and debt securities at fair value through other comprehensive income are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. For debt securities at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is charged to profit or loss and is recognized in other comprehensive income.
(d) Recognition and Derecognition
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized or derecognized on trade-date, the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
If a transfer does not result in derecognition because the Company has retained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the transferred asset, the Company continues to recognize the transferred asset in its entirety and recognizes a financial liability for the consideration received.

(e) Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the separate statements of financial position where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the assets and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.
(4) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are initially measured at cost. The cost of property and equipment includes expenditures arising directly from the construction or acquisition of the asset, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, and the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.
Property and equipment, subsequently, are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Subsequent costs are recognized in the carrying amount of property and equipment at cost or, if appropriate, as a separate item if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be reliably measured.
Depreciation of all property and equipment, except for land, is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives as follows:
|
|
Estimated Useful Lives |
Computer and other equipment |
|
4 years |
Furniture and fixture |
|
4 years |
Vehicles |
|
4 years |
Leasehold improvements |
|
4 years |
Right-of-use assets |
|
(*) |
(*) The Company depreciates the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term using the straight-line method.
Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at the end of each reporting date and adjusted, if appropriate. The change is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.

(5) Intangible Assets
Intangible assets, except for goodwill, are initially recognized at its historical cost, and carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
The Company amortizes intangible assets with a limited useful life using the straight-line method over the following periods:
|
|
Estimated Useful Lives |
Software |
|
1~3 years |
Patents |
|
10 years |
Other intangible assets |
|
3 years |
Expenditure on research activities is recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Development expenditure is capitalized only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. Other development expenditure is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
The Company entered into a game licensing agreement with a number of third parties to gain exclusive rights to the games developed by those companies. The license fee payments are recognized as other intangible assets and amortized over the term of the contract using the straight-line method.
(6) Impairment of Non-financial Assets
At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than contract assets, incremental costs of obtaining a contract, costs to fulfil a contract, employee benefit related assets and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment, are tested for impairment annually by comparing their recoverable amounts to their carrying amounts.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating unit (“CGU”) is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using an adjusted discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.
An impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.

(7) Leases
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company uses the definition of a lease in K-IFRS No. 1116.
(a) As a lessee
At commencement or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of its relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of datacenter the Company has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Company by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Company will exercise a purchase option. In that case the right-of-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rates.
The Company determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and type of the asset leased.

(7) Leases, Continued
(a) As a lessee, Continued
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
|
• |
fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments; |
|
• |
variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date; |
|
• |
amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; |
|
• |
the exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate early. |
The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option or if there is a revised in-substance fixed lease payment.
When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
The Company presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property in ‘property and equipment’ and lease liabilities in ‘Other current liabilities’ and ‘Other non-current liabilities’ in the separate statement of financial position.
The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and short-term leases. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(b) As a lessor
At inception or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices.
When the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease.

(7) Leases, Continued
(b) As a lessor, Continued
To classify each lease, the Company makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Company considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.
When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Company applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.
If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, then the Company applies K-IFRS No.1115 to allocate the consideration in the contract.
The Company applies the derecognition and impairment requirements in K-IFRS No. 1109 to the net investment in the lease. The Company further regularly reviews estimated unguaranteed residual values used in calculating the gross investment in the lease.
The Company recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term as part of ‘other revenue’.

(8) Financial Liabilities
(a) Classification and measurement
The Company’s financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are financial instruments held for trading. A financial liability is held for trading if it is incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. A derivative that is not a designated as hedging instruments and an embedded derivative that is separated are also classified as held for trading.
The Company classifies non-derivative financial liabilities, except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial guarantee contracts and financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of financial assets does not qualify for derecognition, as financial liabilities carried at amortized cost and present as ‘accounts payable’, ‘other current liabilities’ and ‘other non-current liabilities’ in the separate statement of financial position.
(b) Derecognition
Financial liabilities are removed from the separate statement of financial position when it is extinguished; for example, when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expired or when the terms of an existing financial liability are substantially modified. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.
(9) Provisions and Contingent Liabilities
Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and make good obligations are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated.

(9) Provisions and Contingent Liabilities, Continued
Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
In addition, when there is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity or a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability, a disclosure regarding the contingent liabilities is made in the notes to the financial statements.
(10) Foreign Currency Translation
(a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the separate financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (the “functional currency”), which the financial statements in the Company and its branch (Taiwan) are presented in Korean won (KRW) and New Taiwan Dollar (NTD), respectively. The separate financial statements are presented in Korean won, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.
(b) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the exchange rate at the reporting date are generally recognized in profit or loss. They are recognized in other comprehensive income if they relate to qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying effective portion of net investment hedges, or are attributable to monetary part of the net investment in a foreign operation.
Exchange differences arising on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities such as equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss and equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized in profit or loss and other comprehensive income, respectively, as part of the fair value gain or loss.

(11) Statement of cash flows
The Company has elected to present cash flows from operating activities using the indirect method. Cash flows denominated in a foreign currency are reported using average exchange rate during the fiscal year.
(12) Revenues from contracts with customers
The Company engages in game licensing, IP licensing, and game publishing businesses.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for sale of goods or rendering of services arising from the normal course of the business. Revenue is recognized as net amounts excluding value added taxes, returns, rebates and discounts.
(a) Revenue from micro-transaction and subscription
The Company recognizes micro-transaction revenue of online and mobile games when the Company satisfies its performance obligations.
When the performance obligations are satisfied depends on the natures of virtual currency and items. Items are categorized into consumable, periodic, and permanent items.
Consumable in-game virtual items are items that are consumed by the specific action of a game user, and periodic in-game virtual items are items that can be used repeatedly during a specified effective period. Permanent in-game virtual items are items that can be used by game users repeatedly without an effective period.
The accounting policy on revenue recognition is described below in relation to micro-transaction revenue from the sales of virtual currency and items.
(i) Online Games
At the end of the reporting period, the Company defers the total amount of remaining virtual currency as the Company has the obligation to refund for remaining virtual currency.
For consumable in-game virtual items, the related revenue is recognized when the in-game virtual item is consumed. The Company defers the revenue for remaining amounts of virtual items owned by active users within the estimated user life cycle at the end of the reporting period. For periodic in-game virtual items, the related revenue is recognized ratably over the effective period. The Company defers the revenue for remaining effective period. For permanent in-game virtual items, revenue is recognized ratably over the estimated user life cycle. The Company defers the revenue for remaining period of estimated user life cycle at the end of the reporting period.

The Company recognizes online subscription revenue as game users make use of in-game premium features. Subscription revenue comes from subscription fee for internet cafés. Prepaid subscription fees from internet cafés are deferred and recognized as revenue monthly based on actual hours used.
(ii) Mobile Games
Mobile game users purchase virtual currency that can be used to purchase in-game items. The Company has no refund obligation after the game user purchases virtual currency.
At the end of the reporting period, the Company defers revenue for the remaining virtual currency possessed by paying active users. For consumable in-game virtual items, revenue is recognized when the in-game virtual item is consumed. The Company defers the revenue for remaining virtual items possessed by active users within the estimated user life cycle at the end of the reporting period. For periodic in-game virtual items with effective period, revenue is recognized ratably over the effective period. The Company defers the revenue for remaining effective period. For permanent in-game virtual items, revenue is recognized ratably over the estimated user life cycle. The Company defers the revenue for remaining period of estimated user life cycle at the end of the reporting period.
(b) Online and Mobile games—royalties and license fees
In connection with the Company’s online and mobile games, the Company enters into license agreement in connection with the right to access the intellectual property, such as game character images and stories. The Company believes that the agreement is a promise to provide a right to the customer to access the related IP because the Company will undertake activities that significantly affect the intellectual property to which the customer has rights, the rights granted by the license directly expose the customer to any positive or negative effects of the Company’s activities, and those activities do not result in the transfer of a good or a service to the customer as those activities occur. Therefore, the Company’s performance obligations in connection with these agreements are satisfied over time.
Since the nature of the license promise is to provide customers with access to the intellectual property of the Company during the license period, the Company's performance obligation corresponds to the performance obligation satisfied over the time, and revenue is recognized over the license period. The Company recognizes revenue for the license fee through the straight-line method during the contract period, and for the running royalty revenue, the revenue is recognized on an accrual basis at the time the revenue distribution is established in accordance with the terms of the contract. When the running royalty revenue based on the contractual royalty rate and the actual revenue of the licensee exceeds the ratably recognized minimum guarantee, the excess amount is then recognized as revenue and accounts receivable.

(c) Incremental costs of obtaining contract
The Company pays platform processing fees to operate mobile games on third party platforms. These fees are charged based on the game users’ purchases in cash and considered as incremental cost of obtaining contracts with customer and therefore capitalized. The Company presents these costs as prepaid expense and amortizes them to costs of revenue at the same time when the related revenue of the services provided to the game users are recognized.
(13) Current and Deferred Tax
The tax expense for the period consists of current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. The tax expense is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the taxation authorities, using the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the separate financial statements. However, deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets are recognized only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those temporary differences and tax credit.

(13) Current and Deferred Tax, Continued
The Company recognizes a deferred tax liability all taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates, and interests in joint arrangements, except to the extent that the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, the Company recognizes a deferred tax asset for all deductible temporary differences arising from such investments to the extent that it is probable the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis.
(14) Employee Benefits
(a) Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are employee benefits that are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render related services. When an employee has rendered a service to the Company during an accounting period, the Company recognizes the undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.
(b) Defined contribution pension plan
The Company has a defined contribution pension plan with the related contribution to the pension plan recorded as severance benefit expenses for the employees with service period over a year. The Company recognizes provision for severance benefits for the employees with service period less than a year.

(3) Fair value hierarchy
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: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
|
• |
Level 2: all inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable (either directly that is, prices, or indirectly that is, derived from prices) for the asset or liability; |
|
• |
Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. |
The fair value of financial instruments traded in an active market is determined based on the quoted market price as of the end of the reporting period. If the quoted prices are readily and regularly available through exchanges, sellers, brokers, industry groups, rating agencies or regulators and such prices represent actual market transactions that occur regularly between independent parties, they are considered active markets. These products are included in Level 1.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques use as much market observable information as possible and use the least amount of company-specific information. At this time, if all the significant input variables required to measure the fair value of a good are observable, the good is included in Level 2.
If more than one significant input variable is not based on observable market information, the item is included in Level 3.
The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of a financial instrument include:
- Market price or dealer price of a similar financial instrument
- The fair value of derivative instruments is determined by discounting the amount to present value using the leading exchange rate as of the end of the reporting period
For the other financial instruments, the Company applied other valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow, etc. For the financial assets and liabilities of which carrying amount are reasonable approximation of fair value, those were excluded from fair value disclosure.

7. Accounts and Other Receivable, Continued
(3) ECLs and credit risk exposures for accounts and other receivables as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows, Continued:
In assessing the recoverability of accounts and other receivables, the Company considers changes in the credit rating of accounts and other receivables from the commencement of the credit to the end of the reporting period.
The Company applies simplified approach for accounts and other receivables to measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. To measure the expected credit losses, accounts and other receivables are grouped based on credit risk characteristics and the duration of past due balances. ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls. The Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes the Company’s historical experience and informed credit assessment, that includes forward-looking information.

(*) The future realizability of deferred tax assets is assessed by taking into consideration various factors such as the Company's performance, the overall economic environment and industry outlook, expected future earnings, and deductible period of tax credit carry-forward. The Company periodically monitors those factors used in assessing the realizability of the deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has recognized deferred tax assets related to temporary differences, carry-forward deficits and tax credit carry-forward, which can be utilized based on the likelihood of future taxable income. This amount may change if the estimate for future taxable income changes.
(4) As of December 31, 2020, the Company did not recognize deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries of W22,638,336 thousand because it is not probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future.

Independent Auditors’ Review Report on Internal Accounting Control System
(English translation of a Report Originally Issued in Korean)
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Gravity Co., Ltd.
We have reviewed the accompanying report on the Operation of Internal Accounting Control System (“IACS”) of Gravity Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020. The Company's management is responsible for designing and maintaining effective IACS and for its assessment of the effectiveness of IACS. Our responsibility is to review the management's assessment and issue a report based on our review. In the accompanying report of management’s assessment of IACS, the Company’s management stated: “Based on the assessment of the operation of the IACS as of December 31, 2020, Chief Executive Officer and ICFR officer believe that the Company’s IACS has material weaknesses as of December 31, 2020, based on Chapter 5 of Practice Guideline”.
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 the Report on the Operation of Internal Accounting Control System is free of material misstatement. Our review consists principally of obtaining an understanding of the Company’s 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. However, as the Company is a privately-held large enterprise, the design and operations and assessment of its IACS are limited compared with those of publicly-held large enterprises, under Chapter 5 “Application for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises” of IACS Standards. As such, we performed our review in accordance with Chapter 14 “Review Standards for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises.”
A company's 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 Korean International Financial Reporting Standards. 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.
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The following material weaknesses have been included in the management’s report referred to above.
1. Material weakness related to ITGC: The Company did not design and maintain effective control over ITGCs for certain Mobile game servers that are relevant to measurement of deferred revenue. Specifically, the Company did not design and maintain effective program change controls by not complying with the processes, such as, approval of the changes and/or prior approval of migration to live environments.
2. Material Weakness related to Risk Assessment: The Company did not maintain effective controls suitable for developing environments of third party game developing company, so it could lead to ineffective controls specifically related to series of activities of program changes in its mobile game patch process.
3. Material Weakness related to Control Environment: The Company identified material weaknesses in the course of designing and operating control procedures of the fiscal year. This means a control environment that can result in a material

weakness due to lack of sufficient and experienced personnel to address the Company’s overall financial reporting and information technology requirement.
Based on the results of our review on the Report on the Operation of Internal Accounting Control System as of December 31, 2020, nothing has come to our attention that there is other material weakness except for the material weaknesses included in the Report on the Operation of Internal Accounting Control System.
This report applies to the Company’s IACS in existence as of December 31, 2020. We did not review the Company’s IACS subsequent to December 31, 2020. This report has been prepared for Korean regulatory purposes, pursuant to the Act on External Audit of Stock Companies, Etc. and may not be appropriate for other purposes or for other users.

Report on the Effectiveness of the Internal Accounting Control System
To Gravity Shareholders, the Board of Directors, and the Audit Committee,
We, as the Chief Executive Officer and the ICFR Officer of Gravity (“the Company”), assessed operating status of the Company’s Internal Accounting Control System (“IACS”) for the year ending December 31, 2020.
Design and operation of IACS is the responsibility of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the ICFR Officer. We evaluated whether the Company effectively designed and operated its IACS to prevent and detect errors or frauds which may cause a misstatement in financial statements to ensure preparation and disclosure of reliable financial information. The CEO and ICFR Officer followed Chapter 5 (Application to Small-and-Medium sized Companies) of the Best Practice Guideline to evaluate the effectiveness of the IACS design and operation.
Based on our assessment, as of December 31, 2020, the following material weaknesses in the Company’s IACS, in all material respects, were noted from the standpoint of Chapter 5 of the Practice Guideline.
<Description of material weaknesses>
1. Material weakness related to ITGC: We did not design and maintain effective control over ITGCs for certain Mobile game servers that are relevant to measurement of deferred revenue. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective program change controls by not complying with the processes, such as, approval of the changes and/or prior approval of migration to live environments.
2. Material Weakness related to Risk Assessment: We did not maintain effective controls suitable for developing environments of third party game developing company, so it could lead to ineffective controls specifically related to series of activities of program changes in our mobile game patch process.
3. Material Weakness related to Control Environment: We identified material weaknesses in the course of designing and operating control procedures of the fiscal year. This means a control environment that can generate a material weakness due to lack of sufficient and experienced personnel to address the company’s overall financial reporting and information technology requirement.

<Remediation plans for material weaknesses>
1. We plan to conduct expanded training programs for our process and control owners responsible for internal control procedures and encourage their attention and active participation with regard to internal control over financial reporting.
2. We plan to enhance our risk assessment process to include more specific procedures for comprehensive financial statement risk identifications and to ensure appropriate control design, implementation, and re-evaluation of our control activities.
3. We plan to offer IT-specific training session and strengthen compliance monitoring processes, specifically regarding the evidences of approval of program changes and prior approval of migration to live game environments.
We certify that this report does not contain any untrue statement of a fact, or omit to state a fact necessary to be presented herein. We also certify that this report does not contain or present any statements which might cause material misunderstandings of the readers, and we have reviewed and verified this report with sufficient care.

Implementation status of remediation plans for material weaknesses reported in previous year.
1. Material Weakness related to ITGC: We implemented ‘2 step authentication’ in order to prevent and/or detect unauthorized access through monitoring access logs when it comes to access to game servers by system administrators. In addition to this remediation, we will continue to enhance the monitoring control activity through clear definition of segregation of duty.
2. Material weakness related to Control Environment and risk assessment: We hired additional experienced knowledgeable personnel and conduct expanded training programs, and strengthened risk monitoring activities, however, it’s not enough to address the material weaknesses in current and previous year, so we concluded that the material weaknesses were not remediated effectively.
