(a) New and amended standards adopted by the Company
The Group has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for their annual reporting period commencing January 1, 2018. The amendment does not have a significant impact on the financial statements.
- Amendment to Korean IFRS 1028 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures
When an investment in an associate or a joint venture is held by, or is held indirectly through, an entity that is a venture capital organization, or a mutual fund, unit trust and similar entities including investment-linked insurance funds, the entity may elect to measure each investment separately at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with Korean IFRS 1109. The amendment does not have a significant impact on the financial statements because the Company is not a venture capital organization.
- Amendment to Korean IFRS 1040 Transfers of Investment Property
The amendment to Korean IFRS 1040 clarifies that a transfer to, or from, investment property, including property under construction, can only be made if there has been a change in use that is supported by evidence, and the list of evidence for a change of use in the standard was re-characterized as a non-exclusive list of example. The amendment does not have a significant impact on the financial statements.
- Amendment to Korean IFRS 1102 Share-based Payment
Amendments to Korean IFRS 1102 clarify accounting for a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled. Amendments also clarify that the measurement approach should treat the terms and conditions of a cash-settled award in the same way as for an equity-settled award. The amendment does not have a significant impact on the financial statements.
- Enactment of Interpretation 2122 Foreign Currency Transaction and Advance Consideration
According to the enactment, the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part of it) is the date on which an entity initially recognizes the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the payment or receipt of advance consideration. The enactment does not have a significant impact on the financial statements.

In accordance with the transitional provisions in Korean IFRS 1109, comparative figures have not been restated, and the differences between previous book amounts and book amounts at the date of initial application are recognized to retained earnings (or equity). Application of IFRS 1109 does not have a significant impact on the financial statements.
