10 (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Basis of Presenting Financial Statements 2 The Company maintains its accounting records in Korean Won and prepares statutory 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 financial statements are solely intended for use by only those who are informed about Korean accounting principles and practices. The accompanying financial statements have been condensed, restructured and translated into English (with certain expanded descriptions) from the Korean language financial statements. Certain information included in the Korean language financial statements, but not required for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows, is not presented in the accompanying financial statements. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statements of Korea Accounting Standards No. 20 Related Party Disclosures. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the accompanying financial statements. As allowed by this standard, prior year balances were not reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its financial statements are summarized below. (b) Financial Instruments Cash and due from bank means cash and short-term financial instruments which are held for short-term cash management purposes or will mature within one year, including time deposits and installment deposits. Long-term financial instruments are financial instruments which are not classified to current asset. (c) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on an analysis of individual accounts and past experience of collection. (d) Investments in Securities Upon acquisition, the Company classifies certain debt and equity securities into one of the three categories: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading securities and such determination is reassessed at each balance sheet date. Investments in debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-tomaturity. 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 short-term differences in price. Investments not classified as either held-to-maturity or trading securities are classified as available-for-sale securities.

11 3 (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued (d) Investments in Securities, Continued Trading securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses included in current income. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported as a capital adjustment, net of tax. Investments in equity securities 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. The fair value of marketable securities is determined using quoted market prices as of the period end. 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. Trading securities are classified as current assets, whereas available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities are classified as long-term investments. However, available-forsale securities whose maturity dates are due within one year from the balance sheet date or whose likelihood of being disposed of within one year from the balance sheet date is probable are classified as current assets. Likewise, held-to-maturity securities whose maturity dates are due within one year from the balance sheet date are classified as current assets. (e) Collective Funds for Default Loss As of March 31, 2007, in accordance with the provisions of Article 27 of the Futures Trading Act, the Company has deposited a collective funds for default loss amounting to W4,488,592 thousand with the Korea Exchange as guaranty for the payment of related futures transactions. (f) Property and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, except in the case of revaluation made in accordance with the old Asset Revaluation Law. However, assets acquired through exchange, investment in kind or donation are recorded at their fair value. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Useful lives (years) Vehicles 4 Furniture and fixtures 4~40 Significant additions or improvements extending useful lives of assets are capitalized. However, normal maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

12 4 (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued (g) Intangible Assets Expenditure on development incurred in conjunction with new products or technologies, in which the elements of costs can be identified and future economic benefits are clearly expected, is capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected periods to be benefited, generally four years. The expenditure capitalized includes the cost of materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Other intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Such intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over a reasonable period, generally four years, based on the nature of the asset. (h) Leases The Company accounts for and classifies its lease transactions as either an operating or capital lease, depending on the terms of the lease under statement of Korea Accounting Standards. (i) Retirement and Severance Benefits Through March 2006, employees who have been with the Company for more than one year are entitled to lump-sum payments based on current salary 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 balance sheets. Through March 1999, under the National Pension Scheme of Korea, the Company transferred a certain portion of retirement allowances for employees to the National Pension Fund. The amount transferred will reduce the retirement and severance benefit amount to be payable to the employees when they leave the Company and is accordingly reflected in the accompanying financial statements as a reduction from the retirement and severance benefits liability. However, due to the new regulation effective April 1999, such transfers to the National Pension Fund are no longer required. Effective April 1, 2006, the Company introduced a defined benefit pension plan, under which each eligible employee receives a fixed amount of pension after retirement. The Company accrued, as the liability for retirement and severance benefits, lump-sum payments payable to employees who are currently in service, assuming that they left the Company as of the balance sheet date. All employees with a minimum of one year of service are eligible to participate and must elect to participate in the plan. Participants accrue estimated benefits based on actuarial assumptions measured on the balance sheet date at the discounted present value.

13 5 (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued (i) Retirement and Severance Benefits, Continued Pension plan assets and the deposit previously made to the National Pension Fund under old National Pension Law, as referred to above, is reflected in the accompanying balance sheets as a reduction of the liability for retirement and severance benefits. The Company sponsors a defined contribution plan in which contributions in the amount of 1/12 of employee s annual salary is made by the Company. The amount of benefit payments depends on the performance of the plan assets and is not guaranteed. (j) Foreign Currency Translation 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 the rate of exchange on March 31, 2007 that is permitted by the Financial Accounting Standards. Non-monetary 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. (k) Derivatives Derivative instruments are recorded either as an asset or a liability principally at the fair value of rights or obligations associated with the derivative contracts. The unrealized gain or loss from derivative transactions is recognized in current operations. (l) Revenue Recognition Commissions due from the brokerage of futures transactions are recorded as revenue when the brokerage services have been rendered and the service fees are determined. The Company performs trading of dollar futures, KTB futures, MSB futures, KOSPI futures, CD futures, gold futures and others through the Korea Exchange for clients and the Company s own accounts. Deposits for customers futures trading kept by the external custodian institution are accounted for separately from the Company s own account and related valuation gains or losses are directly adjusted to deposits. Deposits for the Company s proprietary trading are also in custodian institution and valuation gains or losses from the proprietary trading are recorded in current operations.

14 6 (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued (m) Income Taxes 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 income 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. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as current or non-current based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting or the expected reversal date of the temporary difference for those with no related asset or liability such as loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. The deferred tax amounts are presented as a net current asset or liability and a net non-current asset or liability. Deferred taxes are recognized on the temporary differences related to unrealized gains and losses on investment securities that are reported as a separate component of capital adjustments. (n) Earnings Per Share Earnings per common share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. (o) 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.
