Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives.

 

Buildings

   20 ~ 40 years

Machinery, equipment and vehicles

   4 ~ 12 years

Tools, furniture and fixtures

   3 ~ 5 years

Significant renewals and additions are capitalized at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

The Company capitalizes interest on borrowings during the construction period of major capital projects. Capitalized interest is added to the cost of the underlying assets and is amortized over the useful lives of the assets. Total interest expense incurred amounted to (Won)203,959 million, (Won)239,910 million and (Won)190,275 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively, of which approximately (Won)34,361 million, (Won)33,240 million and (Won)38,078 million, respectively, was capitalized.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, which includes acquisition cost, production cost and other costs required to prepare the asset for its intended use. It also includes the present value of the estimated cost of dismantling and removing the asset, and restoring the site after the termination of the asset's useful life, provided it meets the criteria for recognition of provisions.

Property, plant and equipment are stated net of accumulated depreciation calculated based on the following depreciation method and estimated useful lives:

 

    

Estimated useful lives

  

Depreciation Method

Buildings

   20 - 40 years    Straight-line method

Machinery and equipment

   4 years    Straight-line method

Vehicles

   4 years    Straight-line method

Tools, furniture and fixtures

   4 years    Straight-line method

Expenditures incurred after the acquisition or completion of assets are capitalized if they enhance the value of the related assets over their recently appraised value or extend the useful life of the related assets. Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

This excerpt taken from the LPL 6-K filed Mar 30, 2007.

Property, Plant and Equipment

The cost of property, plant and equipment includes purchase costs or manufacturing costs, incidental costs directly related to preparing the premises and equipment for their intended use, and the discounted estimated costs to remove, dismantle or restore property, plant and equipment at the end of the estimated useful lives of the related assets when those costs meet the conditions for the recognition of liabilities.

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as enumerated below:

 

     Estimated useful lives

Buildings

   20 - 40 years

Structures

   20 - 40 years

Machinery and equipment

   4 years

Vehicles

   4 years

Tools, furniture and fixtures

   4 years

Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations as incurred. Betterments and renewals, which enhance the value of the assets over their recently appraised value, are capitalized.

Property, plant and equipment, which were acquired by the Company through government subsidies, are recorded at their fair values if the cost is lower than the market value. The government subsidies are presented as a deduction from the acquisition cost. The current year’s subsidies are offset against depreciation expense over the useful life of the property, plant and equipment, and the remaining amount is recognized as a loss on sale upon disposal of the property, plant and equipment.

The Company assesses the potential impairment of property, plant and equipment when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances have made the recovery of an asset’s carrying value to be unlikely. The carrying value of the assets is reduced to the estimated realizable value and an impairment loss is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and charged to current operations. However, the recovery of the impaired assets is recorded in current operations up to the cost of the assets, net of accumulated depreciation before impairment, when the estimated value of the assets exceeds the carrying value after impairment.
