13 Rating Review Presentation to Standard & Poor’s Financial Performance  Sales revenue shows a stable growth rate since 2004  EBIT continues to remain stable since 2004 but in the second half of 2006, EBIT declined due to temporary price cut in CP of base load facilities  EBIT is expected to improve going forward due to the CBP market improvement and operation of Taean #7 and 8 EBITRevenue

14 Rating Review Presentation to Standard & Poor’s Healthy Coverage and Leverage Ratio  Coverage ratios have been stable and relatively strong due to KOWEPO’s proactive debt restructuring efforts  KOWEPO has acquired the right to use connecting line to transmission facilities of KEPCO in 2007, in which KOWEPO is making installment payments to KEPCO for the usage of the facilities. However, it is fully compensated by capacity payment. Therefore, any increase in leverage ratio from this does not mean KOWEPO’s financial status deteriorates LeverageCoverage
