2 KPMG Samjong Accounting Corp. P. O. Box KangNam 1989 Star Tower 10th fl., 737YeokSamDong, KangNam-gu Republic of Korea Tel Fax Independent Accountants Review Report Based on a report originally issued in Korean To the Board of Directors and Stockholders : We have reviewed the non-consolidated balance sheet of (the Company ) as of, the related non-consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows for the quarters and six months ended and These non-consolidated 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. We conducted our review in accordance with the Review Standards for Semiannual Financial Statements established by the Securities and Futures Commission of 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 consists principally of 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 nonconsolidated financial statements referred to above are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards, as established by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of Korea. The non-consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2003 and the related nonconsolidated statements of earnings, appropriation of retained earnings and cash flows for the year then ended, which are not accompanying this report, were audited by us and our report thereon, dated January 30, 2004, expressed an unqualified opinion. The accompanying non-consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2003, presented for comparative purposes, is not different from that audited by us in all material respects. The accompanying non-consolidated financial statements expressed in Korea Won have been translated into United States dollars solely for the convenience of the reader, on the basis set forth in Note 2(b) to the non-consolidated financial statements. KPMG Samjong Accounting Corp., a corporation established under Korean law, is a member of KPMG International, a Swiss association.

12 4 (2) Basis of Financial Statements Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Basis of Financial Statements Presentation The Company maintains its accounting records in Korean Won and prepares statutory nonconsolidated financial statements in the Korean language (Hangul) in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. Certain accounting principles applied by the Company that conform with financial accounting standards and accounting principles in the Republic of Korea may not conform with generally accepted accounting principles in other countries. Accordingly, these non-consolidated financial statements are intended for use only by those who are informed about Korean accounting principles and practices. The accompanying nonconsolidated financial statements have been condensed, restructured and translated into English (with certain expanded descriptions) from the Korean language financial statements. The accompanying non-consolidated financial statements include only the accounts of the Company, and do not include the accounts of any of its subsidiaries. (b) Basis of Financial Statements Translation The non-consolidated financial statements are expressed in Korean Won and, solely for the convenience of the reader, have been translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of W1, to US$1, the basic exchange rate on. These translations should not be construed as a representation that any or all of the amounts shown could be converted into U.S. dollars at this or any other rate. (c) Allowance for Loan Losses Allowance for loan losses is provided to cover estimated losses on loans, based on past experience of collection and analysis of the collectibility of individual outstanding loans. (d) Investments in Securities Debt and equity securities should be classified into one of the three categories of held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading securities at the time of acquisition and such determination should be reassessed at each balance sheet date. Investments in debt securities that the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity. Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term (thus held for only a short period of time) are classified as trading securities. Trading generally reflects active and frequent buying and selling, and trading securities are generally used to generate profit on shortterm differences in price. Investments not classified as either held-to-maturity or trading securities are classified as available-for-sale securities. Trading securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses included in earnings. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported as a capital adjustment. Investments in equity that do not have readily determinable fair values are stated at cost. Declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities are charged to current results of operations. Investments in debt securities that are classified into held-to-maturity are reported at amortized cost at the balance sheet date and such amortization is included in interest income.

Non-marketable debt securities are recorded at the fair values derived from the discounted cash flows by using an interest rate deemed to approximate the market interest rate. The market interest rate is determined by the issuers credit rate announced by the accredited credit rating agencies in Korea. Money market funds are recorded at the fair value determined by the investment management companies. (e) Investment Securities Accounted for by the Equity Method Investments in affiliated companies with the Company s ownership of 20% or more or over which the Company has significant management control are stated at an amount as determined using the equity method. Under the equity method, the Company s initial investment is recorded at cost and is subsequently increased to reflect the Company s share of the investee income and reduced to reflect the Company s share of the investee losses or dividends received. Any excess in the Company s acquisition cost over the Company s share of the investee s identifiable net assets is generally recorded as goodwill or other intangibles. Goodwill (negative goodwill) is amortized by the straight-line method over a reasonable period, generally less than 20 years. When events or circumstances indicate that carrying amount may not be recoverable, the Company reviews goodwill for any impairment. Under the equity method, the Company does not record its share of losses of affiliate companies when such losses would make the Company s investment in such entity less than zero. For the equity method, the Company applies its own criteria in providing allowances for loan losses of its affiliated companies. Accordingly, additional allowances provided for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 for Chohung Bank and Jeju Bank amount to W32,390 million and W1,143 million, respectively, by the equity method. (f) Fixed Assets i) Tangible Assets Tangible assets are stated at cost. Significant additions or improvements extending value or useful lives of assets are capitalized, where normal maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. The depreciation method and useful lives of tangible assets are as follows: Descriptions Depreciation Method Useful Lives Vehicles Declining-balance five years Furniture, fixtures and other Leasehold improvement Straight-line ii) Intangible Assets Intangible assets are stated at acquisition cost less amortization computed using the straightline method over five years.

14 6 (2) Basis of Financial Statements Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued (g) Discounts on Debentures Discounts on debentures issued, which represent the difference between the face value of debentures issued and the issuance price of debentures, are amortized on the effective interest method over the life of the debentures. The amount amortized is included in interest expense. (h) Income Taxes Income tax on the earnings or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the statement of earnings except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly to equity, in which case it is recognized in equity. Deferred tax is provided using the asset and liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date. A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable earnings will be available against which the unused tax losses and credits can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. (i) Retirement and Severance Benefits Employees who have been with the Company for more than one year are entitled to lump-sum payments based on current rates of pay and length of service when they leave the Company. The Company's estimated liability under the plan which would be payable if all employees left on the balance sheet date is accrued in the accompanying non-consolidated balance sheets. A portion of the liability is covered by an employees severance pay insurance where the employees have a vested interest in the deposit with the insurance company. The deposit for severance benefit insurance is, therefore, reflected in the accompanying balance sheets as a deduction from the liability for retirement and severance benefits. (j) Translation of Foreign Currency Denominated Assets and Liabilities Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Korean Won at the balance sheet date, with the resulting gains and losses recognized in current results of operations. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Korean Won at W1, and W1, to US$1, the rate of exchange on and December 31, 2003, respectively, that is permitted by the Financial Accounting Standards. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are stated at historical cost, are translated into Korean Won at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction.

15 7 (2) Basis of Financial Statements Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued (k) Stock Options The stock option program allows the Company s employees to acquire shares of the Company or to be compensated for the market price difference. In case of stock grant type, the Company values stock options based upon an option pricing model under the fair value method and recognizes this value as an expense and a capital adjustment over the period in which the options vest. In case of price compensation type, the Company recognizes the compensation expense as an expense and a liability over the period in which the options vest. (l) Contingent Liabilities Contingent losses are generally recognized as a liability when probable and reasonably estimable. (m) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes to financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (n) Adoption of New Accounting Standards The Company has adopted Statements of Korea Accounting Standards (the SKAS ) No. 10, 12 and 13, effective from the first fiscal year beginning after December 31, 2003, while SKAS No. 15, Equity Method of Accounting, has been adopted as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2004 with encouraged earlier application.
