III. CONTENTS OF THE BUSINESS

1. Summary of the Business

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic posed unprecedented challenges, making the past
three years exceptionally tough. Hopes of its end in 2021 were dashed with the
emergence of the Omicron variant in 2022, along with subvariants, hindering
the travel industry's recovery.

Fortunately, from the latter half of 2022, the global trend of decreasing
COVID-19 cases led countries to ease entry and exit restrictions. In
September, the South Korean government's announcement of lifting pre-entry
COVID-19 tests and on-site quarantine measures marked a pivotal moment for the
travel industry's recovery. Tourism to Japan resumed in October, and with the
declaration of the end of the endemic situation in major Southeast Asian
countries, the South Korean travel industry entered a full-fledged recovery.

By December 2022, outbound travelers had recovered to nearly 60% compared to
December 2019, and our company experienced a rapid increase in customers,
reaching around 40% of the 2019 volume. In Q4 2022, we recorded the highest
sales since the pandemic, and operating losses hit a quarterly low. Annual
figures for 2022 showed a 186% increase in sales, with the lowest operating
and net losses since the pandemic, raising optimism for future recovery.

The recovery trend is accelerating in 2023, with profitability achieved in
January and February, marking the first monthly surplus since the pandemic.
Expectations for a surplus in Q1 are growing, and we anticipate achieving an
annual surplus for the first time since the pandemic.

This year is significant for HanaTour, not only for improved operating
performance but also for showcasing tangible results from efforts made during
the COVID-19 period. Initiatives like 'HanaPack 2.0,' enhanced customer
satisfaction, products for FIT customers, and a revamped mobile app
demonstrate our commitment to growth. Targeting both traditional and FIT
markets, we aim to create a new foundation for growth, leveraging our product
development and overseas network. We seek the support of our shareholders as
HanaTour embarks on this transformative journey.

 

2. Market Share Rate

The market share rate of the travel business is classified based on the
calculation in which the "Total Departures from HANATOUR" is divided by the
"Total Departures of Korea." (Crews are excluded from the total departing
persons)

The "Total Departure of Korea" is announced by Korea Tourism Organization
(KNTO) and the "Total Departures from HANATOUR" is the figure which we report
to Korean Association of Travel Agents (KATA).

3. Characteristics of the market

There are three special characteristics that make travel industry distinctive.

 

First, Travel business has seasonality. The pricing and marketing strategies
change in accordance to seasons. However, due to 5-work-day policy and more
maturing society and corporate cultures, the gap between the demands of
seasons is shrinking which demanding changes to the products and strategies of
travel agents.

 

Second, travel industry has time limits and has no inventory. This is in-line
with air transportation, and hotel business. Products must be sold on each
day, or the inventories will disappear automatically. Therefore, it is very
important to have marketing strategy and diversified portfolio of products in
order to get rid of all the inventories that the company possesses.

 

Third, travel industry is easy to copy. Therefore, the company needs to find
new elements that would differentiate the company among competitors.

 

Last, travel industry is volatile. Compared to other industries it is affected
by political, diplomatic, various social issues, economic issue, diseases, and
other aspects as well.

Independent Auditors' Report

 

Based on a report originally issued in Korean

 

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Hanatour Service Inc.:

 

Opinion

We audited the consolidated financial statements of Hanatour Service Inc. and
its subsidiaries (the "Group"), which comprise the consolidated statements of
financial position as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the consolidated
statements of comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity and cash flows
for the years then ended, and notes, comprising a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information.

 

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements fairly represent the
financial position and performance of the group as of December 31, 2022, 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 Consolidated Financial
Statements section of our report.  We are independent of the Group in
accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the
consolidated financial statements in 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.

Emphasis of Matter

This section highlights matters that do not affect the audit opinion but
require attention from users:

• Uncertainties Due to COVID-19

 

The travel and hotel industries, to which the consolidated company belongs,
face uncertainties in future revenue generation and cash flows due to the
widespread impact of COVID-19. This includes extensive booking cancellations
and a decrease in new travel demand.

 

Items affected by COVID-19 mainly involve the occurrence of operating revenue,
impairment assessment of cash-generating units, and the realizability of
deferred tax assets. The consolidated company has reasonably estimated the
impact of COVID-19 on its financial statements for the period ending December
31, 2022. However, predicting the ultimate impact of the ongoing COVID-19
spread on the company's financial position, performance, and cash flows is
challenging as of the date of this audit report.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are the most significant issues identified based on our
professional judgment during the audit of the financial statements. These
matters have been addressed in the context of our audit of the financial
statements as a whole, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these
matters.

• Evaluation of Realizability of Deferred Tax Assets of Hanatour Service
Inc., the Parent Company

 

The parent company recognized deferred tax assets of 50,554 million Won,
limited to the extent that sufficient taxable income is expected to be
generated.

The evaluation of the realizability of deferred tax assets involves
management's judgment regarding the estimation of future taxable income and
the timing of loss carryforwards. Due to the high subjectivity in these
estimates, we identified this evaluation as a key audit matter.

Our main audit procedures included assessing the design and operational
effectiveness of internal controls related to the realizability of deferred
tax assets, reviewing tax adjustments and corporate tax expenses with the help
of tax experts, examining the reliability of the underlying data used in
future taxable income estimates, reviewing the timing of realization of
deductible temporary differences and tax carryforward losses, and
recalculating the amount of deferred tax assets calculated by the company.

Other Matters

The consolidated financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2021,
of the consolidated company were audited by KPMG Samjong Accounting Firm. In
their audit report dated March 17, 2022, an unqualified opinion was expressed
regarding these consolidated financial statements.

 

Responsibilities of Management and Governance for the Consolidated Financial
Statements

Management is responsible for preparing and fairly presenting the consolidated
financial statements in accordance with K-IFRS. They are also responsible for
internal controls deemed necessary to ensure the preparation of consolidated
financial statements free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or
error.

Management has the duty to assess the going concern status of the consolidated
company and disclose related matters as applicable. They are responsible for
using the going concern basis of accounting unless there is an intention to
liquidate the company or cease operations.

The governing body is responsible for overseeing the financial reporting
process of the consolidated company. Management is also accountable for
establishing and maintaining effective internal controls for the preparation
of consolidated financial statements that are free from significant
misrepresentation.

 

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial
Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
consolidated 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
consolidated 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 consolidated
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 Group's
internal control.

 

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used in the
preparation of the consolidated financial statements 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 Group'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 consolidated
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 Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

 

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the
consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the
consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

 

• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial
information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express
an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for
the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain
solely responsible for our audit opinion.

 

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.

 

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have
complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and
communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably
be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguards.

 

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine
those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated
financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit
matters.  We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or
regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely
rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in
our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be
expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The director in charge of performing this audit is Lee Yong Woo.
