8. Transfer of Financial Assets
Trade receivables of the Group have been discounted through factoring agreements
with banks in 2014 and 2013. Collateral (trade receivables and other) provided in
such factoring transactions do not meet the requirements for asset derecognition as
risks and rewards are not substantially transferred in the event the debtor defaults.
Financial liabilities recognized in relation to these transactions are included as
short-term borrowings on the statement of financial position (Note 15).
The following table presents a breakdown of discounted trade receivables as at
December 31, 2014 and 2013: (In millions of Korean won)
