2023 Audit Report (ORION Corp.) ENG (1)
2023 Audit Report (ORION Corp.) ENG (1)
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Orion Corp. and its subsidiaries (“the Group”),
which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2023, the
consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then
ended, and notes, comprising of material accounting policy information and other explanatory
information.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2023 and its consolidated
financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with
Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS”).
The Group’s goods sales revenue is generated by selling confectionery and others, and various types
of sales rebates and policies are executed by the Group to increase sales considering the
characteristics of the goods. As disclosed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Group
accounts for consideration payable to a customer as an expense or reduction of the revenue, depending
on whether the payment to the customer is in exchange for a distinct goods or services. Sales are
measured by deducting the consideration to be paid to customers, such as sales incentives. As sales
incentive items and calculation methods differ depending on the customer, there is a possibility that
errors may occur regarding the appropriateness of the sales deduction amount and the amount is
significant; thus, we identified the accuracy and completeness of sales deductions for sales promotion
activities as a key audit matter.
2
The primary audit procedures we performed to address this key audit matter are as follows:
• Obtained an understanding of the types of considerations to be paid to customers, assessed
appropriateness of accounting policies for each classification, and obtained an understanding and
assessed related internal control
• Assessed appropriateness of the recognition of considerations to be paid to the customers by
inspecting relevant documents such as contracts, on a sampling basis and testing relevant
transactions
• Assessed adequacy of the amount of revenue by reviewing the appropriateness of the account
classification between reduction of the revenue and recognizing as selling, general and
administrative expenses
Other Matters
The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2022, were
audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on March 15,
2023.
The procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to audit such consolidated financial
statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated
Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial
statements in accordance with K-IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is
necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the
Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate
the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
3
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 engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report is Lee, Ju Hyung.

Orion Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2023 and 2022
The Group has prepared financial statements in accordance with the Korean International Financial
Reporting Standards (K-IFRS), which are accounting standards adopted by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB) as stipulated in Article 5, Paragraph 1, Item 1 of the External Audit of Stock
Companies Act.
The consolidated financial statements were approved for issue by the Board of Directors on February
7, 2024, and are subject to change with the approval of shareholders at their Annual General Meeting
on March 21, 2024.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for
the following material items in the consolidated statement of financial position:
• Net defined benefit liabilities (defined benefit assets) recognized at the present value of
defined benefit obligations less the fair value of plan assets
Each subsidiary’s financial statements within the Group are presented in the subsidiary’s functional
currency, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which each subsidiary
operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Korean won, which is the
Controlling Company’s functional currency.
K-IFRS requires the use of estimates and assumptions about the future, including climate-related
risks and opportunities based on management's best judgment, on the application of accounting
policies in preparing financial statements or on the reporting amount of assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses as of the end of the reporting period. Estimates and actual results may differ when
estimates and assumptions based on management's best judgment are different from the actual
environment as of the end of the reporting period.
Estimates and the underlying assumptions about estimates are constantly being reviewed in relation
to risk management of consolidated entities and their consistency with climate-related
arrangements, and changes to accounting estimates are recognized during periods when estimates
have changed and during periods that will be affected in the future.
Management judgments and estimates and assumptions about significant risks that may affect the
adjustment of asset and liability bookings in the next fiscal year are as follows; Additional information
on significant judgments and estimates for some items is included in relevant notes.
Russia’s war on Ukraine is continuing and Russia is imposed to the international sanctions. As a
result, the Group may experience situations such as a decrease in value of financial assets or
operating assets owned by the Group regarding the conflict, an increase in receivable payment
terms, limitation to transfer funds, a decrease in profit.

Orion Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2023 and 2022
Information on key management decisions relating to the application of accounting policies that
significantly affect the amount recognized in consolidated financial statements is as follows.
- Lease
In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that
create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination
option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the
lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated).
The lease term is reassessed if an option is actually exercised (or not exercised) or the
Company becomes obliged to exercise (or not exercise) it. The assessment of reasonable
certainty is only revised if a significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs,
which affects this assessment, and that is within the control of the lessee.
Information on the uncertainties of assumptions and estimates that pose a significant risk of
significant adjustments occurring within the following reporting periods is as follows.
The present value of net defined benefit liability depends on a number of factors that are
determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions including the discount
rate.
The Group's accounting policies and disclosures require fair value measurements for a number
of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The Group establishes fair value assessment
policies and procedures. The policy and procedures include the operation of the evaluation
department responsible for reviewing all significant fair value measures, including fair value
classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, and the results are reported directly to the CFO.
The assessment department regularly reviews significant inputs and assessment adjustments
that are not observable. If third-party information, such as brokerage prices or assessment
agencies, is used to measure fair value, the assessment department is determining whether it
can conclude that the assessment based on information obtained from a third party contains
classification by level within the fair value hierarchy and meets the requirements of that standard.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the Group uses market-observable inputs
as much as possible. Fair value is classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs
used in the valuation technique as follows.
19
Orion Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2023 and 2022
• Level 3 : Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that
is, unobservable inputs)
If several inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability are classified at different
levels within the fair value hierarchy, the entity classifies the entire fair value measurement at
the same level as the lowest level input in the fair value hierarchy, which is significant throughout
the measurement, and recognizes the shift between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end
of the reporting period when the change occurs.
The Group tests whether goodwill has suffered any impairment on an annual basis. The
recoverable amount of a cash generating unit (CGU) is determined based on value-in-use
calculation.
The provisions for impairment for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of
default and expected loss rates. The Group uses judgements in making these assumptions
and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation based on the Group’s past history,
existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting
period.
The Group measures the cost of share-based payment transaction by reference to the fair
value of equity instruments granted at the grant date and the fair value is estimated using
valuation model which considers the conditions upon which equity instruments are granted.
Also, the Group shall decide the most appropriate price determining factors for valuation
model including volatility of the rights and risk-free interest rate and others. The applied
assumptions and evaluation models are described in Note 23.

Orion Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2023 and 2022
3.1 Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction
The Group has adopted Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single
Transaction from 1 January 2023. The amendments narrow the scope of the initial recognition
exemption to exclude transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences –
e.g. leases and decommissioning liabilities. For leases and decommissioning liabilities, an entity
is required to recognize the associated deferred tax assets and liabilities from the beginning of
the earliest comparative period presented, with any cumulative effect recognized as an adjustment
to retained earnings or other components of equity at that date. For all other transactions, an entity
applies the amendments to transactions that occur on or after the beginning of the earliest period
presented.
Following the amendments, the Group has recognized a separate deferred tax asset in relation to
its lease liabilities and a deferred tax liability in relation to its right-of-use assets. However, there
was no impact on the statement of financial position because the balance qualify for offset under
paragraph 74 of K-IFRS 1012. There was no impact on the opening retained earnings as at 1
January 2022 as a result of the change. The key impact for the Group relates to disclosure of the
deferred tax assets and liabilities recognized.
The amendments clarify that K-IFRS 1012, Income Taxes, applies to income taxes arising from
tax law enacted or substantively enacted to implement the Pillar Two Model Rules issued by the
Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development(OECD).
However, a temporary exemption from the requirements of K-IFRS 1012, Income Taxes, has been
adopted to allow the Company to neither recognize nor disclose deferred tax assets and liabilities
relating to Pillar Two income Taxes.
Since January 1, 2023, the Group has applied Disclosure of Accounting Policies(K-IFRS No. 1001
‘Presentation of Financial Statements’). Although the amendments did not result in any changes
to the accounting policies themselves, they impacted the accounting policy information disclosed
in the financial statements.
The amendments require the disclose of ‘material’, rather than ‘significant’, accounting policies.
The amendments also provide guidance on the application of materiality to disclosure of
accounting policies, assisting entities to provide useful, entity-specific accounting policy
information that users need to understand other information in the financial statements.
Management reviewed the accounting policies and made update to the information disclosed in
Note 4 Material Accounting policies.
21
Orion Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2023 and 2022
The material accounting policies applied by the Group in preparing the financial statements in
accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (K-IFRS) are described below,
and the financial statements for the current and comparative periods, excluding changes in accounting
policies described in Note 3, have been prepared using the same accounting policies.
The Group adopted accounting policy disclosure amendments (K-IFRS 1001 'Presentation of Financial
Statements') effective January 1, 2023. These amendments require disclosure of 'material' accounting
policies rather than 'significant' accounting policies. While these amendments do not result in a change
in the accounting policies themselves, they do impact the disclosure of accounting policy information in
these financial statements.
NCI are measured initially at their proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets
at the date of acquisition.
Intercompany transactions, balances, income and expenses and unrealized gains and losses
(excluding foreign exchange gains and losses) are eliminated on consolidation. The Company’s
share of unrealized losses on transactions with associates accounted for using the equity method
are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains unless there is evidence of impairment of
the asset.
Combining entities or businesses under common control recognizes the acquired assets and
liabilities as the book value in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling
entity. The Group adjusts the difference between consideration transferred and the book value
of net assets acquired in the capital surplus.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-
term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
4.3 Inventories
The cost of inventories is determined by the specific identification method for materials-in-transit and
by the weighted average method for all other inventories. The cost of inventories comprises all costs
of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present
location and condition. The allocation of fixed manufacturing overheads which are included in the
costs of products and work-in-process is based on the normal capacity of the production facilities.
Trade receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognized when they are originated.
All other financial assets are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument.
22
Orion Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2023 and 2022
The Group makes an assessment of the objective of the business model in which a financial
asset is held at a portfolio level because this best reflects the way the business is managed, and
information is provided to management. Transfers of financial assets to third parties in
transactions that do not qualify for derecognition are not considered sales for this purpose,
consistent with the Group’s continuing recognition of the assets.
Held to collect - The Group holds financial assets arise from its confectionery business and
investment property. The objective of the business model for these financial instruments is to
collect the amounts due from the Group’s receivables and to earn contractual interest income on
the amounts collected.
Financial assets – Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal
and interest
In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are SPPI, the Group considers the contractual
terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a
contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it
would not meet this condition.
• contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows;
• terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable-rate features;
• terms that limit the Group’s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non-recourse
features)
23
Orion Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2023 and 2022
• financial assets measured at amortised cost (‘cash and cash equivalents’ and ‘trade and other
receivables)
The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, except for the
following, which are measured at 12-month ECLs:
• debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and
• other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk(i.e. the risk of default occurring
over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial
recognition.
Loss allowances for trade receivables (including lease receivables) and contract assets are
always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.
• the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full, without recourse by the
Group to actions such as realizing security(if any is held);
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost is
credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a
detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:
• the restructuring of a loan or advance by the Group on terms that the Group would not
consider otherwise;
• it is probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross
carrying amount of the assets.

December 31, 2023 and 2022
4.5.4 Write-off
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable
expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For corporate
customers, the Group individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount
of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Group expects
no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off
could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group’s procedures for
recovery of amounts due.
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their
estimated residual values under 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, plant and equipment for current and comparative periods are
as follows:
Goodwill is measured as describes in Note 9, and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets, except for goodwill, are initially recognized at its historical cost, and carried at cost
less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets are amortised using a straight-line method for the following useful life from the time
they become available, with the residual value as zero ("0"). In the case of certain intangible assets,
where the expected period of use is not reasonably determinable, such intangible assets are
evaluated to have an indefinite useful life, thus not amortised.
An investment property is measured initially at its cost. After recognition as an asset, investment
property is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

4.9 Leases
4.9.1 As a lessee
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not
paid at the commencement date. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as
the discount rate.
• Recent third-party financing received by the individual lessee as a starting point, adjusted to
reflect changes in financing conditions since third party financing was received
• Makes adjustments specific to the lease, for example term and security.
The Group presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property in
‘right-of-use assets’ and lease liabilities in ‘lease liabilities’ in the statement of financial position.
The Group has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-
value assets and short-term leases. The Group recognizes the lease payments associated with
these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
4.9.2 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. As part
of this assessment, the Group considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the
major part of the economic life of the asset.
The Group recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-
line basis over the lease term as part of ‘other revenue’.
The Group classifies financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and other financial
liabilities and recognizes them on consolidated statement of financial position when the Group
becomes a party to a contract, depending on the substance of the contractual terms and
definition of financial liabilities.
The defined benefit liability is calculated annually by an independent actuary using the projected
unit credit method.

4.12 Provision
A provision for warranties is recognized when the underlying products or services are sold, based
on historical warranty data and a weighting of possible outcomes against their associated
probabilities.
If the functional currency of an foreign operation is not the currency of hyperinflationary economy,
the assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position(including the statement of financial
position that is presented in comparison) are translated at the exchange rates at the reporting
date. The income and expenses in the statement of comprehensive income are translated at the
exchange rates at the average exchange rate for the reporting period and foreign currency
differences arising from translation are recognized in OCI.
Revenue from the sale of goods, rendering of services or use of the Group assets is measured
at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Trade discount and volume rebates
are recognized as a reduction of revenue. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence
exists, usually in the form of an executed sales agreement, that the significant risks and rewards
of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the
associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing
management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
The Group estimates an amount of variable consideration by using the method that the Group
expects to better predict the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled for discount,
incentive, penalty and others to be paid to customers.

For the purpose of calculating present value of defined benefit obligation, the Group used the discount
rate determined based on the yield rate of bonds with good ratings which are in line with defined benefit
obligations in terms of currency and maturity.
Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding
other assumptions constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts shown
below:
The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other
assumptions constant. The sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to changes in principal actuarial
assumptions is calculated using the projected unit credit method, the same method applied when
calculating the defined benefit obligations recognized on the consolidated statement of financial position.
The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change
compared to the prior period.

contractual obligations under a financial instrument and arises primarily from trade receivables from
customers. To manage credit risk, the Group's management has established policies and procedures
to ensure that the Group only transacts with counterparties with a certain level of creditworthiness and
that the Group has policies and procedures in place to enhance the creditworthiness of its financial
assets. The Group evaluates the creditworthiness of its customers using disclosed financial information

expected loss allowance for trade receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables
have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the day past due. The expected loss
rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 24 month before December 31, 2022,
and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates
are adjusted to reflect forward-looking information affecting the ability of the customers to settle the
receivables.

financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group’s
management manages liquidity risk by setting both short-term and long-term fund management plan
and immunizing the maturity of financial assets and financial liabilities by reviewing and analyzing cash
out flow forecasts and realized cash outflows consistently. The Group’s management believes that the
Group has sufficient liquid resources from operating cash flows and financial assets to meet finance
changes and principal repayments on its debt instruments. Meanwhile, in order to manage the Group’s
liquidity risks, the group have entered into an overdraft protection provided by Shinhanbank and etc.
