A share purchase agreement is a written contract that outlines the terms and conditions for buying and selling shares of a company. It specifies details like the price, number of shares, and any special conditions, ensuring both buyer and seller agree on the transaction. For investors, it provides clarity and legal protection, making sure the purchase is clear and enforceable.
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information financial
"unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet information regarding the Company and Hansol"
Unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is a preliminary set of shortened financial statements that shows how two or more businesses would have performed if they had been operating together, presented without an independent audit. Investors use it as a dress-rehearsal snapshot to gauge the potential size, profitability and cash flow impact of a merger or acquisition, but should treat it as an estimate rather than a final, verified record.
AI-based Digital Contact Center financial
"The Group’s operating segments consist of the AI-based Digital Contact Center segment and the Pet Healthcare segment."
contract assets financial
"Contract assets and contract liabilities as of December 31, 2025 are as follows"
Contract assets are amounts a company has earned by doing work or delivering goods under a customer agreement but has not yet billed or collected because certain contract conditions remain. Think of it as completed work sitting in a company’s toolbox waiting for an invoice trigger. For investors, growing contract assets signal future cash and revenue potential but also raise questions about timing, cash collection risk and the real strength of reported sales.

Right-of-use assets are the rights a company gains to use a physical space or equipment under a lease agreement. They are recorded as assets on the company's balance sheet, reflecting the value of future benefits from the leased item. For investors, these assets provide a clearer picture of a company's obligations and resources related to leasing arrangements, helping to assess its financial health and operational commitments.

The Group has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for their annual reporting period commencing January 1, 2025.

 

IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates – Lack of Exchangeability

 

The amendments that require exchangeability of two currencies should be assessed in order to clarify reporting of foreign currency transactions in the absence of normal-functioning foreign exchange market. The amendments also require applicable spot exchange rate should be determined when the assessment indicates two currencies lack exchangeability. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025, with early application permitted. The amendments do not have a significant impact on the financial statements.

 

IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts

 

If the estimation techniques applied to the input variables used in the measurement of insurance contracts differ from the estimation methodologies principally required under applicable insurance laws and regulations, the Group discloses the nature of such differences and their effects on the financial statements to the extent that such information is considered relevant and material to users of the financial statements.

 

2.2 new and amended standards or interpretations not yet adopted by the Group

 

The following new accounting standards and interpretations that have been published are not mandatory for December 31, 2025 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group.

 

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments - IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments

 

The amendments clarify that a financial liability is derecognized on the ‘settlement date’ and introduce an accounting policy choice to derecognise financial liabilities settled using an electronic payment system before the settlement date. Other clarifications include the classification of financial assets with ESG linked features via additional guidance on the assessment of contingent features. Clarifications have been made to non-recourse loans and contractually linked instruments. Additional disclosures are introduced for financial instruments with contingent features and equity instruments

classified at fair value through OCI. The amendments should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, and earlier application is permitted, with an option to early adopt the amendments for contingent features only. The Group does not expect that these amendments have a significant impact on the financial statements.

 

Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards – Volume 11

 

The amendments are annual improvements to the following standards:

 

  - IFRS 1 First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards;

 

  - IFRS 7 Financial instruments: Disclosures;

 

  - IFRS 9 Financial instruments;

 

  - IFRS 10 Consolidated financial statements; and

 

  - IAS 7 Statement of cash flows

 

The new standard should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, and earlier application is permitted. The Group is in review for the impact of this new standard on the financial statements.

 

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

 

Items in the statement of profit or loss will need to be classified into one of five categories: operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations. IFRS 18 requires the Group to present specified totals and subtotals: ‘Operating profit or loss’, ‘Profit or loss’ and ‘Profit or loss before financing and income taxes’. Information related to management-defined performance measures should be disclosed. IFRS 18 also provides enhanced guidance on the principles of aggregation and disaggregation which focus on grouping items based on their shared characteristics. The new standard should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, and earlier application is permitted. The Group is in review for the impact of this new standard on the financial statements.

 

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. The new presentation requirements introduced by IFRS 18 are expected to enhance comparability of financial performance among peer entities, particularly with respect to the definition and presentation of operating profit or loss. In addition, the disclosure requirements related to management‑defined performance measures are expected to improve transparency. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. In accordance with the retrospective application requirements of the standard, comparative information for the year ended December 31, 2026 will be restated to conform IFRS 18.

 

The Group has not yet adopted IFRS 18 and is currently assessing the potential impact of the application of the standard on its consolidated financial statements. The Group is developing an implementation plan and is preparing, as scheduled, to present its first interim financial statements under IFRS 18 for the period ending March 31, 2027, and its first annual financial statements under the standard for the year ending December 31, 2027.

2.3 Accounting policies

 

  (1) Basis of consolidation

 

The Group prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

  1) Subsidiaries

 

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Parent Company has control. The Group controls the corresponding investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins from the date the Group obtains control of a subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary.

 

  2) Non-controlling interests

 

Non-controlling interests are measured initially at their proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition.

 

Changes in the Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.

 

  3) Loss of control

 

When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related non-controlling interests and other components of equity. Any resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost.

 

  4) Transactions eliminated on consolidation

 

Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses (except for foreign currency transaction gains or losses) arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated. Unrealized gains arising from transactions with equity-accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

  (2) Revenue recognition

 

  1) Product revenue

 

The Group recognizes the revenue at the point in time when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of goods are transferred to the customer.

 

  2) Service revenue

 

The Group recognizes the service revenue over the time, typically over the period that the services are performed.

 

  3) Construction revenue

 

The Group recognizes the construction revenue over time as the Group’s activities that involve development tailored to customer specifications result in the creation of, or an enhancement to, assets that the customer controls as the service is performed.

 

Construction revenue is recognized over time using an input method based on costs incurred, that is, in proportion to the costs incurred to date relative to total estimated contract costs. Management believes that the use of the input method appropriately estimates the Group’s measure of progress in satisfying its performance obligations under IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

 

When the outcome of the construction revenue can be estimated reliably, the Group recognizes contract revenue and contract costs, respectively, as revenue and expenses by using the measure of progress at the end of the reporting period. The progress is measured as the ratio of cumulative contract costs incurred to date for work performed to estimated total contract costs, excluding contract costs that do not reflect the stage of completion.

 

Contract modifications, claims, and incentive payments are included in construction revenue when the amounts can be measured reliably and it is probable that the related consideration will be collected.

 

  (3) Foreign currency translation

 

These consolidated financial statements are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates (the “functional currency”). The Group’s financial performance and financial position are presented in Korean won, which is the Parent Company’s functional and presentation currency.

 

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of Company companies at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non- monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

  (4) Employee benefits

 

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided.

 

The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income. Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income are recognized immediately in retained earnings and are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss subsequently. Past service costs are recognized as profit or loss for the year and the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period is determined by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then- net defined benefit liability (asset). The components of defined benefit cost consist of service cost (comprising current service cost, past service cost, and gains or losses from settlements), net interest expense (income), and remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability.

 

Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss. Remeasurement components are recognized in other comprehensive income. Gains or losses on curtailments of the plan are recognized as past service cost.

 

The Group presents the actual underfunded or overfunded status of the defined benefit plans in the consolidated financial statements. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Group, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.

 

A liability for termination benefits is recognized at the earlier of the date when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of termination benefits or the date when the Group recognizes costs related to a restructuring that involves the payment of termination benefits.

 

Discretionary contributions made by employees or third parties reduce service cost upon payment of these contributions to the plan. When the formal terms of a plan specify contributions from employees or third parties, the accounting for such contributions depends on whether the contributions are linked to the provision of service.

 

If contributions are not linked to the service (for example, contributions paid to reduce a deficit resulting from losses on plan assets or actuarial losses), such contributions affect the remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability (asset).

 

If contributions are linked to the service, such contributions reduce service cost. For contributions whose amounts vary based on years of service, the Group allocates the contributions over the service period in accordance with the attribution method required by paragraph 70 of IAS 19 Employee Benefits based on total remuneration. Conversely, for contributions whose amounts are independent of years of service, the Group recognizes such contributions as a reduction of service cost in the period in which the related service is rendered.

 

  (5) Share-based payments

 

Equity-settled share-based payments granted to employees and employee-equivalent service providers are estimated at fair value of equity instruments at the grant date.

 

The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment arrangements granted to employees is generally recognized as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards. The number of equity instruments expected to vest is remeasured at the end of the reporting period, with any changes from the original remeasurement recognized in profit or loss for the year and equity.

 

Equity-settled share-based payments granted to non-employee counterparties are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received. If the fair value of the goods or services received cannot be estimated reliably, the goods or services are measured based on the fair value of the equity instruments granted, determined at the date the goods or services are received.

 

10

 

 

HANSOL INTICUBE CO., LTD.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

For cash-settled share-based payments, the liability for goods or services received is initially recognized at fair value. The liability is remeasured at each reporting date and at settlement date based on the fair value of the share-based payment arrangements. Any changes in the liability are recognized in profit or loss.

 

  (6) Income tax expense

 

Income tax expense for the period consists of current and deferred tax.

 

  1) Current income tax

 

Income taxes are calculated based on the Group’s taxable income for the year. The taxable profit is different from the accounting profit for the period since the taxable profit is calculated excluding the temporary differences, which will be taxable or deductible in determining taxable profit (tax loss) of future periods, and non-taxable or non-deductible items from the accounting profit. The amount of current tax payable is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

 

  2) Deferred income tax

 

Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The Group recognizes that a deferred tax liability for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those temporary differences and losses. However, deferred tax is not recognized for:

 

  taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill;

 

  temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss; and

 

  temporary differences related to investments in subsidiary, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

 

Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred income tax liabilities and deferred income tax assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

 

  3) Recognition of current and deferred tax

 

It is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. Income tax effects arising from a business combination are included as part of the accounting for the business combination.

 

  (7) Property and equipment

 

Items of property and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalized borrowing costs, less government grants, accumulated depreciation, and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items, including costs incurred to bring the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, as well as the initial estimate of costs expected to be incurred to dismantle and remove the asset and to restore the site on which it is located.

 

11

 

 

HANSOL INTICUBE CO., LTD.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group. The carrying amount of the replaced parts are derecognized and the repairs and maintenance expenses are recognized in profit or loss in the period they are incurred.

 

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property and equipment less their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, and is generally recognized in profit or loss. Land is not depreciated.

 

The estimated useful lives of property and equipment for current and comparative periods are as follows:

 

Building   20 ~ 30 years
Machinery   5 ~ 6 years
Vehicles  

4 ~ 5 years

Furniture and fixtures   4 years
Office equipment   4 ~ 5 years
Leasehold improvements   2 years

 

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property and equipment. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate. The depreciation method, residual values and useful lives of property and equipment are reviewed and adjusted at each financial year-end, if appropriate, accounted for as changes in accounting estimates.

 

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal, and the carrying amount is removed from the consolidated statement of financial position. Any gain or loss arising from derecognition is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss at the time the asset is derecognized.

 

  (8) Leases

 

  1) Definition of 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.

 

  2) As a lessee

 

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. At commencement or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of its relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of property the Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

 

The Group 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 Group by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group 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.

 

12

 

 

HANSOL INTICUBE CO., LTD.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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 Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

 

The Group 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.

 

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 Group is reasonably certain to exercise; and

 

  lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Group 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 Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Group 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.

 

The Group has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets (leases for which the underlying asset is valued at USD 5,000 or less) and short-term leases (leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less at the commencement date), including IT equipment. The Group recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

  3) As a lessor

 

When the Group acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Group 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.

 

When the Group 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 Group applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.

 

The Group recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term as part of ‘other income’. The Group applies another systematic basis if that basis is more representative of the pattern in which benefit from the use of the underlying asset is diminished.

 

The Group capitalizes initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging operating leases as part of the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognizes such costs as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as lease income.

 

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, then the Group applies IFRS 15 to allocate the consideration in the contract.

  (9) Intangible assets and goodwill

 

  1) Separately acquired intangible assets

 

Separately acquired intangible assets with finite useful lives are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Such intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives and amortization methods of intangible assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, and any changes deemed appropriate are accounted for as changes in accounting estimates.

 

  2) Internally generated intangible assets – Research and development cost

 

Expenditures on research activities are expensed as incurred.

 

Expenditures related to development activities (or the development phase of internal projects) are recognized as intangible assets only when the results of the development plan are intended to result in the development of a new product or a substantial improvement in functionality, and when the Group can demonstrate the technical and commercial feasibility of completing the development, as well as the ability to reliably measure the expenditures attributable to the development.

 

The cost of internally generated intangible assets comprises the aggregate of expenditures incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria described above. Development costs that do not meet the criteria for recognition as internally generated intangible assets are expensed as incurred.

 

Subsequent to initial recognition, internally generated intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.

 

  3) Derecognition

 

An intangible asset is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an intangible asset is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, and is recognized in profit or loss in the period in which the intangible asset is derecognized.

 

  4) Useful life

 

Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost or revalued amounts of the assets, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives as follows:

 

Software   5 years
Other intangible assets   5 years

 

Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

 

  (10) Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill

 

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets other than goodwill to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. The Group estimates the recoverable amount of each individual asset. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs. Corporate assets are allocated to individual CGUs on a reasonable and consistent basis. When corporate assets cannot be allocated to individual CGUs, they are allocated to the smallest group of CGUs to which a reasonable and consistent allocation can be made.

 

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment.

 

14

 

 

HANSOL INTICUBE CO., LTD.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal. When the recoverable amount of an asset (or CGU) is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount. The impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period.

 

An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

 

When a previously recognized impairment loss is reversed, the carrying amount of the individual asset (or CGU) is increased to the revised recoverable amount or to the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortization) had no impairment loss been recognized in prior periods, whichever is lower. The reversal of the impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss for the period.

 

  (11) Inventories

 

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the first-in, first-out allocation method, and includes expenditures incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion cost and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated selling expenses.

 

Cost of sales is recognized at the carrying amount of inventories in the period in which the related revenue from the sale of such inventories is recognized. Inventory write-downs to net realizable value and inventory obsolescence losses are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Reversals of inventory write-downs resulting from an increase in net realizable value are recognized as a reduction of cost of sales in the period in which the reversal occurs.

 

  (12) Provisions

 

Provisions are recognized when the Group 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.

 

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. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance cost.

 

If it is expected that some or all of the expenditure required to settle a provision will be reimbursed by a third party, the Group recognizes the reimbursement as an asset when it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received upon settlement of the obligation and the amount can be measured reliably.

 

Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.

HANSOL INTICUBE CO., LTD.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

  (13) Financial assets

 

  1) Classification

 

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

 

  those to be measured at fair value through profit or loss;

 

  those to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income; and

 

  those to be measured at amortized cost.

 

The classification depends on the Group’s business model for managing 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 Group 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 Group 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 the investments in equity instruments that are not accounted for as other comprehensive income are recognized in profit or loss.

 

  2) Measurement

 

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. 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.

 

Debt instruments

 

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. The Group 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

 

16

 

 

HANSOL INTICUBE CO., LTD.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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 ‘other non-operating income or expenses’, 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 consolidated statement of comprehensive income within ‘finance income and costs’ in the year in which it arises.

 

Equity instruments

 

The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Group’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments, which 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 ‘finance income and costs’ in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income 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.

 

  3) Impairment

 

The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortized cost and fair value through other comprehensive income. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables and lease receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables

 

  4) Recognition and derecognition

 

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized or derecognized on trade-date, the date on which the Group 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 Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

 

If a transfer does not result in derecognition because the Group has retained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the transferred asset, the Group continues to recognize the transferred asset in its entirety and recognizes a financial liability for the consideration received. The Group classifies the financial liability as ‘borrowings’ in the consolidated statement of financial position.

  5) Offsetting of financial instruments

 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statements of financial position where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention 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 Group or the counterparty.

 

  (14) Financial liabilities

 

  1) Classification and measurement

 

The Group’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 hedging instruments and an embedded derivative that is separated are also classified as held for trading.

 

The Group 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 ‘trade and other payables’ and ‘other financial liabilities’ in the consolidated statement of financial position.

 

Preferred shares that require mandatory redemption at a particular date are classified as liabilities. Interest expenses on these preferred shares using the effective interest method are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as ‘finance costs’, together with interest expenses recognized from other financial liabilities.

 

  2) Derecognition

 

Financial liabilities are removed from the 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 noncash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.

 

  (15) Fair value measurement

 

‘Fair value’ is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or, in its absence, the most advantageous market to which the Group has access at that date. In estimating the fair value of assets or liabilities, the Group considers the characteristics of the asset or liability that market participants would take into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Except for measurements that are similar to fair value but are not fair value, such as share-based payment transactions within the scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment, lease transactions within the scope of IAS 17 Leases, net realizable value of inventories under IAS 2 Inventories, and value in use under IAS 36 Impairment of Assets, fair value measurements or disclosures are determined in accordance with the principles described above.

 

A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. 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: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).

 

18

 

 

HANSOL INTICUBE CO., LTD.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

  Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

 

  (16) Approval of the financial statements

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Group was initially approved by the Board of Directors on January 26, 2026, which is subject to change with approval at the annual shareholders’ meeting.

 

3. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements requires the Group to make estimates and assumptions concerning the future. Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the Group’s accounting policies. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. As the resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results, it can contain a significant risk of causing a material adjustment.

 

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 discussed below. Additional information of significant judgement and assumptions of certain items are included in relevant notes.

 

  (1) Revenue recognition

 

Revenue from construction contracts is recognized over time using the percentage‑of‑completion method. The stage of completion is determined based on the proportion of actual cumulative contract costs incurred to date relative to the estimated total contract costs for each contract. Total contract revenue is initially measured based on the contract price agreed with the customer; however, contract revenue may increase as a result of approved variations and incentive payments, or decrease due to liquidated damages incurred when completion is delayed for reasons attributable to the Group. Accordingly, the measurement of contract revenue is subject to various uncertainties related to the outcomes of future events. Contract revenue is included only to the extent that it is highly probable that the customer will approve variations and the related amount of revenue, or that the Group will satisfy the performance criteria for incentive payments, and the amount can be measured reliably. The amount of construction revenue recognized is affected by the stage of completion measured based on actual cumulative contract costs incurred, and estimated total contract costs are determined based on future expectations regarding material costs, labor costs, construction periods, and other relevant factors.

 

  (2) Income taxes

 

The taxable income generated from the Group’s operations are subject to income taxes based on tax laws and interpretations of tax authorities in numerous jurisdictions. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain (Note 30).

 

  (3) Net defined benefit liabilities (assets)

 

The present value of net defined benefit liabilities (assets) depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions including the discount rate (Note 17).

Total       11,294,244       595,593  

 

B. Credit risk and allowance for doubtful accounts

 

The above trade receivables and other receivables are measured at amortized cost.

 

The average credit period for sales is 90 days. However, receivables that are expected to be collected after 90 days due to contractual terms are not considered past due. The Group applies the simplified approach to recognize lifetime expected credit losses for trade receivables. Expected credit losses are measured by grouping receivables based on shared credit risk characteristics and days past due, using historical credit loss experience.

 

As of December 31, 2025, receivables from LG Uplus Corp. amount to Korean won 4,705,651 thousand, representing 41.56% of total trade receivables. Other customers accounting for more than 5% of total trade receivables include KT Corp. and SK Broadband Co., Ltd.

 

  i. There are no past-due but not impaired trade receivables as of December 31, 2025.

 

  ii. The aging analysis of impaired trade receivables and other receivables as of December 31, 2025 is as follows:

 

        Over one year  
        December 31,
2025
 
        (In thousands of Korean won)  
Trade receivables       33,000  
Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts         (33,000 )
Total       -  

 

  iii. There were no changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts for trade receivables and other receivables during the year ended December 31, 2025 (Korean won 33,000 thousand).

 

  iv. In assessing the recoverability of trade receivables, the Group considers changes in credit quality from the date of initial recognition to the end of the reporting period. As the Group has a large number of customers with no significant interrelationships, concentration of credit risk is limited. The recognized impairment loss represents the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount of receivables deemed unlikely to be collected, based on past experience and credit evaluations.

17. Net Defined Benefit Liability

 

A. Defined Benefit Plan

 

The Group operates a defined benefit retirement plan for employees who meet certain eligibility requirements. Under this plan, employees receive a lump-sum payment at the time of retirement based on the average salary of the final three months and the length of service provided. The Group is exposed to investment risk, interest rate risk, and salary risk under this plan.

 

The most recent actuarial valuation of the defined benefit obligation was performed by an external actuary in January 2026. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, together with the related current service cost and past service cost, has been measured using the projected unit credit method.

 

  i. The principal actuarial assumptions used as of December 31, 2025 are as follows:

 

    December 31,
2025
 
Discount rate     3.39 ~ 4.49 %
Expected salary increase rate     4.57 ~ 5.00 %

 

  ii. The components recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position arising from the Group’s obligations in relation to the defined benefit retirement plan as of December 31, 2025 are as follows:

 

        December 31,

        December 31,
2025
 
        (In thousands of Korean won)  
Time deposits and others       11,210,401  

 

The investment strategy and policy for plan assets aim to achieve a balance between risk reduction and return enhancement. The objective of minimizing the volatility of assets relative to liabilities is achieved through diversification of assets, partial asset-liability matching strategies, and hedging. In order to reduce the overall volatility of assets relative to liabilities (risk-adjusted) while achieving target returns, the Group invests broadly across various asset classes. The allocation to fixed-income assets is designed to partially match the characteristics of pension liabilities, which are similar to bonds and have long maturities.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the actual return on plan assets amounted to Korean won 349,026 thousand.

 

  v. Expenses recognized in relation to defined contribution plans for the year ended December 31, 2025 amounted to Korean won 8,487 thousand.

The above sensitivity analysis has been determined based on the assumption that all other variables remain constant. The sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to changes in key actuarial assumptions has been calculated using the same method (projected unit credit method) applied in measuring the defined benefit obligation recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position.

 

The methods and assumptions used in the sensitivity analysis are consistent with those applied in the prior period.

 

  vii. Impact of the defined benefit plan on future cash flows

 

The Group reviews the funding level of the plan on an annual basis and has a policy to make up for any funding shortfall. The expected contributions for the year ending December 31, 2026 amount to Korean won 1,232,019 thousand.

 

  viii. The maturity analysis of undiscounted pension benefit payments as of December 31, 2025 is as follows:

Parent company   3.65 years  
Subsidiaries   8.81 years  

 

B. Other long-term employee benefits

 

The Group provides monetary benefits to employees with long-term service. These benefits are measured using the same method applied to defined benefit obligations for retirement benefits.

 

As of December 31, 2025, the present value of the defined benefit obligation related to other long-term employee benefits amounts to Korean won 176,138 thousand and is presented as employee benefits liabilities.

  i. Basic earnings per share attributable to owners of the parent for the year ended December 31, 2025 are as follows:

 

        2025  
        (In thousands of Korean won, shares)  
Profit attributable to owners of the parent       794,130  
Weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding         13,662,476 Shares  
Basic earnings per share         KRW 58  

 

  ii. The weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding is calculated by weighting the number of ordinary shares issued by the period of time they were outstanding. Details for the year ended December 31, 2025 are as follows:

 

Period   Number of
shares
outstanding (*)
    Days     Weighted average
number of
shares
 
Jan 1, 2025 ~ Dec 31, 2025     13,662,476     365       13,662,476  

 

 
(*) Treasury shares of 217,045 shares are excluded.

 

B. Diluted Earnings per Share

 

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding assuming conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Group’s dilutive potential ordinary shares consist of share options. The number of shares is calculated based on the fair value (average market price during the period) of shares that could have been acquired using the proceeds from the exercise of the options, and compared with the number of shares that would be issued upon exercise.

 

As the share options held by the Group do not have a dilutive effect, basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share are the same.

E. Risk Management

 

Risk management is carried out under policies approved by the Board of Directors, with the finance department responsible for identifying, evaluating, and managing financial risks in close cooperation with operating departments.

 

  i. Capital risk management

 

The Group manages its capital to ensure that it can continue as a going concern while maximizing returns to shareholders. The capital structure consists of debt and equity, and the debt ratio is used as a key indicator.

 

        December 31,
2025
 
        (In thousands of Korean won)  
Total liabilities       19,442,641  
Total equity       13,507,602  
Debt ratio         143.94 %

 

  ii. Market risk

 

The Group is exposed to financial risks primarily arising from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates.

 

a. Foreign exchange risk

 

The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk as it engages in transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The Group regularly measures and monitors its exposure to exchange rate fluctuations.

 

Foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2025 are as follows:

 

    December 31, 2025  
   

Assets

(Foreign Currency)

    Assets
(KRW)

(Foreign Currency)
    Liabilities
(KRW)
 
    (In thousands of Korean won)  
USD     -       -       689,524       989,398  

 

A 10% increase or decrease in exchange rates would result in a decrease or increase in profit before tax by approximately Korean won 98,940 thousand.

 

b. Interest rate risk management

 

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk in relation to deposits and other interest-bearing instruments. Interest rates are periodically reviewed and managed in line with defined risk tolerance levels to ensure optimal risk management strategies.

 

The impact on profit before tax from a 1% change in interest rates on variable-rate deposits is as follows:

 

        December 31,
2025
 
        (In thousands of Korean won)  
Increase in interest rates       22,954  
Decrease in interest rates         (22,954 )

 

c. Other Price Risk

 

The Group is exposed to price risk arising from equity instruments. These investments are held for strategic purposes rather than trading, and the Group does not actively trade these investments.

HANSOL INTICUBE CO., LTD.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

  iii. Credit Risk Management

 

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations, resulting in a financial loss to the Group. The Group manages credit risk by transacting only with counterparties of appropriate credit quality and by obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate.

 

The Group performs internal credit evaluations and utilizes publicly available financial information and historical transaction data in assessing creditworthiness. Credit exposure and counterparty credit ratings are continuously monitored, and transactions are diversified across approved counterparties. Credit risk is controlled through credit limits that are reviewed and approved annually by the Board of Directors.

 

  iv. Liquidity risk management

 

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which establishes appropriate policies for managing short-term and long-term funding and liquidity. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, borrowing facilities, and continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, while matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

 

The maturity analysis of non-derivative financial liabilities as of December 31, 2025 is as follows. The amounts presented represent undiscounted contractual cash flows (including interest):

Total       8,920,520       9,048,982       8,750,109       298,873  

 

The Group maintains unused borrowing facilities (see Note 37) at an appropriate level and continuously monitors liquidity forecasts to ensure that it does not breach borrowing limits or covenants in meeting operational funding requirements.

 

The Group has entered into supplier finance arrangements with financial institutions (see Note 14), which have improved its working capital. The financial institutions involved maintain sound financial positions, and the Group does not have a significant concentration of liquidity risk with these institutions.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Note 1 – Description of Hansol Acquisition

 

On December 19, 2025, Playverse Co. Ltd. (“Playverse”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of K Wave Media Ltd. (the “Company” or “K Wave”), entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Hansol Holdings Co., Ltd., Lee Mi-sung and Cho Hyun-seung (collectively, the “Sellers”), pursuant to which Playverse agreed to purchase from the Sellers and the Sellers agreed to sell to Playverse an aggregate of 5,864,088 shares common stock (the “Purchased Shares”) of Hansol Inticube Co., an AI language and software development company with core capabilities in AI contact center solutions, voice recognition, chatbots, smart solutions and platform technologies (“Hansol”).

 

The Shares represent approximately 42.25% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Hansol. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the aggregate purchase price for the Shares pursuant to was KRW15,000,337,104. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the parties and customary indemnification obligations of the parties.

 

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation

 

The Hansol Acquisition is being accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting under IFRS 3, Business Combinations, which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recorded at their acquisition date fair value in accordance with IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement. Under IFRS 13, fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements can be highly subjective, and it is possible the application of reasonable judgement could develop different assumptions resulting in a range of alternative estimates using the same facts and circumstances. Identifiable intangible assets—such as customer relationships, technology assets, and trademarks—are recognized separately from goodwill when they meet the separability or contractual-legal criteria in IFRS 3. Goodwill is recognized as the excess of the consideration transferred and the amount of any non-controlling interest over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired.

 

K Wave and Hansol’s historical financial statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS. Based on an analysis of K Wave and Hansol’s significant accounting policies, the Company has not identified any material differences in accounting policies that would have an impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not assume any differences in accounting policies.

 

The pro forma adjustments presented in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of this Form 6-K and such estimates are subject to revision as further information is obtained. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments for the Hansol Acquisition are preliminary and subject to further adjustment as additional information becomes available and the various analyses and other valuations are performed. Any adjustments may have a significant effect on total assets, total liabilities, total equity, operating expenses, and depreciation and amortization expenses, and such results may be significant.

 

The assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes to this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information may not be indicative of K Wave’s future performance and does not necessarily reflect what K Wave’s financial position and results of operations would have been had these transactions occurred at the beginning of the period presented.

 

Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future operating results or financial position of K Wave following the completion of the Hansol Acquisition. Additionally, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any revenue enhancements, anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, or cost savings that may be achieved related to the Hansol Acquisition, nor does it reflect any costs or expenditures that may be required to achieve any possible synergies.

 

K Wave will finalize the accounting for the acquisition as soon as practicable within the measurement period, but in no event later than one year from the acquisition date, in accordance with IFRS 3.

Preliminary Purchase Consideration

 

The estimated fair value of the consideration transferred is ₩15.0 billion.

 

Preliminary Estimates of Fair Value

 

The following table summarizes the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, and liabilities assumed used to prepare pro forma adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and statements of operations (in thousands).

 

           
Consideration:            
Cash       15,000,337  
             
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

Net assets acquired       15,000,337  

 

The final estimates of fair value will be determined when the Company has completed the detailed valuations and necessary calculations. The final allocation could differ materially from the preliminary calculation used in the pro forma adjustments. The final estimates of fair value may include (i) changes in allocations to intangible assets including goodwill, (ii) other changes to assets and liabilities, and (iii) changes to the assessment of tax positions and tax rates.
