INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REVIEW REPORT

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Woori Finance Holdings Co., Ltd:

 

We have reviewed the accompanying non-consolidated balance sheet of Woori Finance Holdings Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2003 and the related non-consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003, all expressed in Korean won. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these financial statements based on our review. The non-consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002, which are presented for comparative purposes, were reviewed by Anjin & Co. whose report dated November 12, 2002 stated that nothing had come to their attention that caused them to believe that such non-consolidated statements of income were not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with financial accounting standards in the Republic of Korea.

 

We conducted our review in accordance with standards for review of interim financial statements in the Republic of Korea. These standards require that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data, and thus provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements as of and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea.

 

We have previously audited the non-consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2002 and the accompanying related non-consolidated statements of income, appropriations of retained earnings and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea and in our report dated March 26, 2003, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those non-consolidated financial statements. The accompanying non-consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2002 presented for comparative purposes does not materially differ from the audited non-consolidated balance sheet.

 

Our review also comprehended the translation of the Korean won amounts into U.S. dollar amounts and nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that such translation has not been made in conformity with the basis stated in Note 2 to the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements. Such U.S. dollar amounts are presented solely for the convenience of readers outside of Korea.


WOORI FINANCE HOLDINGS CO., LTD.

 

NON-CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE-MONTH AND NINE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED

SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 AND 2002

TOGETHER WITH INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REVIEW REPORT


Without affecting our conclusion, we draw attention to the following:

 

As explained in Note 2 to the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements, the Company comparatively presented the balance sheets as of September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 and the statements of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. However, the Company presents stand-alone statements of cash flows for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 in accordance with the transition provision of Statement of Korean Accounting Standards No 2.

 

As explained in Note 22 to the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements, Woori Bank, a subsidiary of the Company, has loans receivable from and payment guarantees for SK Networks Co., Ltd.(formerly known as “SK Global”) and its overseas subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “SK Networks”) in the total amount of (Won)301 billion (US$262 million). In connection therewith, Woori Bank provided (Won)180 billion (US$156 million) as allowances for credit losses as of September 30, 2003. However, SK Networks is currently undergoing a corporate restructuring and depending on the result of this restructuring, Woori Bank’s actual losses on SK Networks credit may differ materially.

 

As explained in Note 1 to the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements, Woori Credit Card Co., Ltd. (“WCC”), a subsidiary of the Company, issued new 40,000,000 shares of stock amounting to (Won)200 billion (US$ 174 million) on March 27, 2003 and new 128,000,000 shares of stock amounting to (Won)640 billion (US$556 million) on September 30, 2003 all to the Company. As a result, the number of issued common stock and capital of WCC increased to 402,000,000 shares and (Won)2,013 billion (US$ 1,750 million), respectively, as of September 30, 2003.

 

As explained in Note 24 to the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements, Woori Bank merged with Woori Investment Bank, a subsidiary of the Company, on July 31, 2003 pursuant to a merger agreement dated June 25, 2003. As a result, Woori Bank took over substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Woori Investment Bank by exchanging one common share of Woori Investment Bank for 0.0355 share of Woori Bank. Accordingly, the number of issued common shares of Woori Bank increased from 553 million to 571 million and contributed capital of Woori Bank increased from (Won)2,764.4 billion (US$2,403 million) to (Won)2,852.8 billion (US$2,480 million).

 

Accounting principles and review standards and their application in practice vary among countries. The accompanying non-consolidated financial statements are not intended to present the financial position, results of operations or cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in countries other than the Republic of Korea. In addition, the procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to review such financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries. Accordingly, this report and the accompanying financial statements are for use by those knowledgeable about Korean accounting procedures and review standards and their application in practice.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

 

The Company maintains its official accounting records in Korean won and prepares statutory non-consolidated financial statements in the Korean language (Hangul) in conformity with financial accounting standards and accounting standards for financial holding companies in the Republic of Korea. Certain financial accounting standards applied by the Company that conform with those generally accepted in the Republic of Korea may not conform with generally accepted accounting principles in other countries. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements are intended for use by those who are informed about Korean accounting principles and practices. The accompanying financial statements have been restructured and translated into English from the Korean language financial statements.

 

The US dollar amounts presented in these financial statements were computed by translating Korean won into US dollars at the rate of (Won)1,150.2 to US$1.00 the Base Rate announced by the Korean Financial Telecommunications & Clearing Institute at September 30, 2003, solely for the convenience of the reader. This convenience translation into US dollars should not be construed as representations that the Korean won amounts have been, could have been, or could in the future be, converted at this or any other rate of exchange.

 

The accounting policies, which have been adopted in preparing the accompanying non-consolidated interim financial statements, except for the matters set forth below, are not different materially from those used in preparing the non-consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Statement of Korea Accounting Standards (“SKAS”)

 

Korea Accounting Standards Board (“KASB”) has issued SKASs that replaced existing Korean Financial Accounting Standards (“KFAS”) in order to enhance the global convergence of existing accounting standards and usefulness of accounting information. Accordingly, the Company has adopted SKASs since this fiscal year of 2003.

 

SKAS No. 2 – “Interim Financial Reporting”

 

SKAS No. 2 – “Interim Financial Reporting” requires that interim financial statements should comparatively present the balance sheets and the statements of income and cash flows. However, the stand-alone statements of cash flows for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 are presented in accordance with the transition provision of the SKAS No. 2.

 

SKAS No. 9 – “Convertible Securities”

 

Korea Accounting Standards Board (“KASB”) issued SKAS No. 9 -”Convertible Securities”, which revised the accounting and reporting for convertible securities. The statement requires recognizing the value of convertible rights when convertible bonds are issued. SKAS No. 9 is effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 31, 2002. Accordingly, the Company recognized the consideration for convertible rights by computing issuance price of the convertible bonds less the market price of straight bonds as of the issuance date of the convertible bonds. The consideration for convertible rights is recorded on other capital surplus when the bonds are issued and it will be credited to additional paid-in capital if the right is exercised. Reconciliation for convertible rights is presented as a deduction from the bonds and the redemption premium, if any, is added to the debentures. However, in accordance with SKAS No. 9, the convertible bonds issued before December 31, 2002 are reported in accordance with the previous accounting standards for convertible bonds.

The Company may be either directly or indirectly affected by these general unstable economic conditions and the reform program described above. The accompanying non-consolidated financial statements reflect management’s assessment of the impact to date of the economic situation on the financial position of the Company. Actual results may differ materially from management’s current assessment.
