Independent Auditor’s Report

English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Korean

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of

Woori Finance Holdings Co., Ltd.:

We have audited the accompanying separate financial statements of Woori Finance Holdings Co., Ltd. (the “Company”). The financial statements consist of the separate statements of financial position as of December 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and January 1, 2010, respectively, and the related separate statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows, all expressed in Korean won, for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the separate financial statements and our responsibility is to express an opinion on these separate financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and January 1, 2010, respectively, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, in conformity with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS”).

In accordance with K-IFRS 1101 First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, the transition date to K-IFRS is January 1, 2010.

Accordingly, these separate financial statements are intended for use by those who are informed about K-IFRS and Korean practices. The accompanying separate financial statements have been condensed, restructured and translated into English with certain expanded descriptions from the Korean language financial statements.

Major accounting policies used for the preparation of the separate financial statements are stated below. Unless stated otherwise, these accounting policies have been applied consistently to the separate financial statements for the current period and accompanying comparative period.

The Company’s financial statement has been filled out based on the historical cost method except for specific non-current assets and financial assets. The historical cost is generally measured by fair value of acquired assets.

The Company is measuring items in financial statements by using the currency functional currency in the major economic environment in which operating activities occur, and the functional currency is Korean Won.

 

 

- 10 -


The Company has not applied the following new and revised IFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective:

Amendments to K-IFRS 1107 Disclosures – Transfers of Financial Assets

The amendments to K-IFRS 1107 increase the disclosure requirements for transactions involving transfers of financial assets. These amendments are intended to provide greater transparency around risk exposures when a financial asset is transferred but the transferor retains some level of continuing exposure in the asset. It will be applied for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2011.

Amendments to K-IFRS 1012 Deferred Tax – Recovery of Underlying Assets

Under the amendments, investment properties that are measured using the fair value model in accordance with K-IFRS 1040 Investment Property and property and equipment that are measured using revaluation model in accordance with K-IFRS 1016 Property, plant and equipment are presumed to be recovered through sale for the purposes of measuring deferred taxes. It will be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011.

Amendments to K-IFRS 1019 – Employee Benefits

The amendments to K-IFRS 1019 relates to eliminate on of the ‘corridor approach’ permitted under the previous version of K-IFRS 1019 and accelerate the recognition of past service costs. The amendments to K-IFRS 1019 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

Enactment of K-IFRS 1113 Fair Value Measurement

K-IFRS 1113 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements. K-IFRS 1113 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with earlier application permitted.

The Company anticipates that the amendments and enactment listed above may not have significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

On the other hand, the separate financial statements are approved by the board of directors is on March 8, 2012.

 

(2) Investment in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates

The accompanying financial statements are the Company’s separate financial statements in accordance with K-IFRS 1027 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, K-IFRS 1028 Investments in Associates and K-IFRS 1031 Interests in Joint Ventures. The separate financial statements present the investment in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities or associates, based on the acquisition cost. The Company accounts for the investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities or associates at cost, except when the investment is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for in accordance with K-IFRS 1105 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. The Company recognizes dividends from subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities or associates in net income in the separate financial statements when its right to receive the dividend is established.

When there is indication of impairment, the entire carrying amount of investment (including goodwill) in a subsidiary, a jointly controlled entity or an associate is tested for impairment in accordance K-IFRS 1036 Impairment of Assets as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use) with its carrying amount. An impairment loss recognized is not allocated to any asset (including goodwill), which forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized in accordance with K-IFRS 1036 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

 

(3) Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of an item of fixed assets is directly attributable to their purchase or construction, which includes any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. It also includes the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.

 

- 11 -


Subsequent costs to replace part of the fixed assets are recognized in carrying amount of an asset or as an asset if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the assets will flow into the Company and the cost of an asset can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is eliminated from the books. Routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

Fixed assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis on the estimated economic useful lives as follows:

 

     Estimated useful lives  

Structures in leased office

     5 years   

Properties for business purposes

     5 years   

The Company assesses the depreciation method, the estimated useful lives and residual values of fixed assets at the end of each annual reporting period. If expectations differ from previous estimates, the changes are accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate. When the carrying amount of a fixed asset exceeds the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount of such asset is reduced to the recoverable amount.

 

(4) Intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated at the manufacturing cost or acquisition cost plus additional incidental expenses less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. The Company’s software and industrial property right (trademark) are amortized over five years using the straight-line method. The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. If expectations differ from previous estimates, the changes are accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.

 

(5) Impairment of non-financial assets

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives or intangible assets that are not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, regardless of whether or not there is any indication of impairment. All other assets are tested for impairment when there is an objective indication that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, and if the indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is measured by the higher of net fair value less costs to sell and utility value. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and such impairment loss is recognized immediately in net income.

 

(6) Financial assets and financial liabilities

1) Classification of financial assets

Financial assets are classified into the following categories depending on the nature and purpose of possession: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), loans and receivables, available-for-sale (“AFS”) financial assets and held-to-maturity (“HTM”) financial assets.

a) Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when the financial asset is held for trading or is designated at FVTPL at initial recognition. All derivatives including the embedded derivatives, which are separated from the host contract, are classified as trading securities, unless they are designated and effective hedging instruments.

A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:

 

   

such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a recognition or measurement inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or

 

   

the financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Company's documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or

 

   

it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and K-IFRS 1039 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement permits the entire hybrid (combined) contract to be designated as at FVTPL.

b) Loans and receivables

Trade receivables, loans, and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables.

c) AFS financial assets

Non –derivatives financial assets that are not classified as at HTM; held-for-trading; designated as at FVTPL; or loans and receivables are classified as at AFS.

d) HTM financial assets

HTM investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity dates that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity.

2) Classification of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at FVTPL or other financial liabilities measured at amortized costs.

a) Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities as at FVTPL include a financial liability held for trading and a financial liability designated at FVTPL. All derivatives including the embedded derivatives separated from the host contract are classified as financial liabilities held for trading unless they are designated and effective hedging instruments.

The criteria for designation of financial liabilities at FVTPL upon initial recognition are the same as those of financial assets at FVTPL.

b) Financial liabilities measured at amortized costs

Financial liabilities that are not classified as at FVTPL are measured at amortized costs. Deposits and debt securities that are not designated as at FVTPL are classified as financial liabilities measured at amortized costs.

3) Recognition and Measurement

The Company recognizes a financial asset at trade date. All types of financial instruments, except financial assets/liabilities at FVTPL, are measured at fair value at initial recognition and transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition (issuance) are added to or deducted from the fair value. Financial assets/liabilities at FVTPL are initially recognized at fair value and transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition (issuance) are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.

Financial assets/liabilities at FVTPL and AFS financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. HTM financial assets, loans and receivables and other financial liabilities are measured at amortized costs using the effective interest rate method.

Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets/liabilities at FVTPL are presented in the statement of comprehensive income during the period in which they arise. Changes in the fair value of monetary and non-monetary securities, which are classified as AFS financial assets, are recognized in other comprehensive income. Changes in the fair value of AFS monetary assets denominated in a foreign currency are comprised of exchange differences on amortized costs and other carrying value fluctuation. Exchange differences on AFS monetary assets are recognized in net income and changes in carrying value that is not related to the exchange differences are recorded in other comprehensive income.

Dividends income of financial assets at FVTPL and AFS financial assets is recognized in net income when the Company’s right to receive the dividend is established.

Where the AFS financial asset is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in other comprehensive income is reclassified to net income.

4) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual right to the cash flows from the asset is expired, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another company. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company recognizes its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. The Company derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire.

 

- 13 -


(7) Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are presented net in the separate statements of financial position when the Company has an enforceable legal right to set off and an intention to settle on a net basis or to realize an asset and settle the liability.

 

(8) Impairment of the financial assets

1) Assets measured at amortized costs

The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) is impaired. A financial asset (or a group of financial assets) is considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence of impairment loss as a result of one or more events (hereinafter the “loss event”) that occurred after the initial recognition and the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have been affected.

The criteria used to determine whether there is loss event include:

 

   

significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor;

 

   

a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;

 

   

the lender, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower's financial difficulty, granting to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider;

 

   

it becoming probability that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organization;

 

   

the disappearance of an active market for the financial asset due to financial difficulties; or

 

   

observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows of a group of financial assets after initial recognition, although the decrease in the estimated future cash flows of individual financial assets included in the group is not identifiable.

For individually significant financial assets, the Company assesses whether loss event exists individually, and it assesses either individually or collectively for impairment of financial assets that are not significant. If there is no loss event exists for financial assets individually assessed, the Company includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets for which the Company recognizes impairment based on an individual assessment or impairment loss is continuously recognized are not subject to a collective impairment assessment.

The amount of impairment loss is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit loss that are not yet incurred), which is discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The amount of impairment loss is reduced directly from the asset’s carrying value or by using a provision account, and it is recognized in net income.

For loans and receivables or HTM financial assets with a variable interest rate, the current effective interest rate, which is determined under the contract, is used to measure impairment loss.

Whether collateral inflow is probable or not, the present value of the estimated future cash flows of collateralized financial asset is calculated as the cash flows, which may arise from collateral inflow, less costs of acquiring and selling collateral.

Future cash flows for a group of financial assets that are collectively assessed for impairment are estimated based on the historical loss experience of assets having credit risk characteristics, similar to those in the group of financial assets. If historical loss experience is not enough or not existed, similar corporation’s comparable historical loss experience of a group of financial assets is used. The effects of current conditions that do not have an impact in the historical loss experience period are reflected and the historical loss experience is adjusted based on the current observable data in order to remove the effects of conditions that currently do not exist but existed in the historical loss experience period.

For a collective assessment for impairment, financial assets are classified based on similar credit risk characteristics (i.e. based on the assessment of credit risk or grading process, considering asset type, industry, geographical location, collateral type, past-due status, and other relevant elements) indicating the debtor’s ability to pay all amounts of debt under the contractual terms. These characteristics are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows for groups of such assets as being indicative of the debtors’ ability to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the assets being evaluated.

 

- 14 -


When estimating the changes in future cash flows, observable data (i.e. an impairment loss arisen from a group of assets, an unemployment rate indicating the loss and its parameter, asset price, product price, or payment status) need to be consistently reflected. The methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows are reviewed regularly to reduce the difference between loss estimates and actual loss experience.

When the amount of impairment loss decreases subsequently and the decrease is related to an event occurred after the impairment is recognized (i.e. an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed directly from or by adjusting the provision account. The reversed amount is recognized in net income.

2) AFS financial assets

The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that the Company’s financial asset (or a group of financial assets) is impaired. For debt securities, the Company uses the criteria refer to (8)-1) above.

For equity investments classified as AFS financial assets, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below cost is an objective evidence of impairment. The Company recognizes other comprehensive loss when the current fair value of the AFS financial asset is decreased. When the fair value of an AFS financial asset is decreased below its acquisition cost which is considered an objective evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss, amounting to the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, is removed from other comprehensive income and recognized in net income as an impairment loss. For AFS equity instruments, impairment losses recognized in net income are not reversed through net income. When the fair value of AFS debt instrument increases in a subsequent period and the evidence is objectively related to an event occurred after recognizing the impairment loss, the impairment loss is reversed and recognized in net income.

 

(9) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, demand deposits and highly liquid investment assets that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

 

(10) Equity

Common stock is classified as equity and mandatorily redeemable preferred stock is classified as a liability. Direct expenses relevant to issuance of new stock and stock option are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of tax effects.

When the Company purchases its common stock (treasury stock), payment including direct transaction cost (net of tax) is recognized as a deduction from the Company’s equity until the common stock is disposed of or reissued. In the case of reissuance of the treasury stock, received amount (net of direct transaction costs and relevant tax) is included in equity attributable to the Company’s shareholders.

 

(11) Fee income

The Company’s revenue includes brand royalty income. If the Company can measure the amounts of revenue reliably and it is probable that future economic benefits can flow to the Company, revenue is recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with the economic substance of the relevant contract.

 

(12) Income tax expense

Income tax consists of current and deferred income tax. Income tax is recognized in net income except when it relates to elements recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Current income tax liabilities (assets) is measured at the amount expected to be paid to taxation authorities (recovered from taxation authorities) using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted by the reporting date or substantively enacted.

 

- 15 -


Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the separate financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. However, the Company does not recognize deferred tax arising on the initial recognition of an asset or a liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit. Deferred taxes are determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted by the reporting date—the date when the relevant deferred tax assets are realized and the deferred tax liabilities are settled—or substantially enacted.

Deferred tax assets are recognized if future taxable profits are probable so that the temporary differences can be used.

Deferred tax assets in accordance with the related investments in subsidiaries and associates are recognized except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the expected future temporary difference does not reverse.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and current tax liabilities and when the deferred tax assets and liabilities are relevant to income taxes levied by the same taxation authorities.

In accordance with the Korean Corporate Tax Act, the Company and its 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries have filed a consolidated tax return. Accordingly, the Company recognizes total corporate income tax due that it will pay on behalf of its subsidiaries as a current tax liability and the amounts due from subsidiaries as loans and receivables.

 

(13) Employee benefits

1) Short-term employee benefits

The Company recognizes the undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expecting payment in exchange for the services, when employee renders services. Also, the Company recognizes expenses and liabilities in the case of accumulating compensated absences, when the employees render service that increases their entitlement to future compensated absences. Though the Company may have no legal obligation to pay a bonus, considering some cases, the Company has a practice of paying bonuses. In such cases, the Company has a constructive obligation, and thus recognizes expenses and liabilities when the employees render service.

2) Retirement benefits

The Company operates defined benefit plans.

For defined benefit plans, the liability recognized in the separate statements of financial position is the present value of the current defined benefit obligation at the date of the separate statement of financial position, less the fair value of plan assets, as adjusted for unrecognized past service cost.

The defined benefit obligation is calculated on an annual basis by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of defined benefit obligations is expressed in a currency in which retirement benefits will be paid and is calculated by discounting expected future cash outflows with the interest rate of high quality corporate bonds which maturity is similar to the payment date of retirement benefit obligations.

Actuarial gains and losses arising from the differences between changes in actuarial assumptions and what has actually occurred are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they occur.

 

(14) Interest income and expense recognition

Interest income and expense from held-to-maturity financial assets, loans and receivables, and other financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, are recognized on an accrual basis using the effective interest method.

Effective interest method is the method of calculating the amortized cost of financial assets or liabilities and allocating the interest income or expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate reconciles the expected future cash in and out through the expected life of financial instruments or shorter period if appropriate, and net carrying value of financial assets or liabilities. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates future cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instruments such as prepayment option, except the loss on future credit risk. Also, effective interest rate calculation reflects commission, points (only responsible for the effective interest rate) that are paid or earned between contracting parties, transaction costs, and other premiums and discounts.

 

- 16 -


(15) Earnings per share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS is calculated by earnings subtracting the dividends paid to holders of preferred stock and hybrid securities from the net income attributable to ordinary shareholders from the statements of comprehensive income and dividing by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the earnings and number of shares for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The significant accounting estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and various factors including expectations of future events that are considered to be reasonable. Actual results can differ from those estimates based on such definitions. The following are the accounting estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing changes to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next accounting period.

 

(1) Income taxes

The Company estimates income tax provision based on its operating activities through December 31, 2011 as current and deferred income taxes. The actual income taxes payment may differ from the income tax provision recognized and the difference could be material.

 

(2) Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in active markets is measured by using valuation techniques. The Company uses its judgment to select a variety of valuation techniques and makes assumptions based on the market conditions as of December 31, 2011.

 

(3) Impairment loss on financial assets

The Company recognizes impairment losses on financial assets by assessing the occurrence of loss events or it assesses impairment for a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics. Impairment loss for financial assets is the difference between such assets’ carrying value and the present value of estimated recoverable cash flows. The estimation of future cash flows requires management judgment.

4. RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s operating activity is exposed to various financial risks; hence, the Company is required to analyze and assess the level of complex risks, determine the permissible level of risks or to manage the risks. The Company’s risk management procedure is set for improvement in the quality of assets held and investments by making a decision about how to avoid or mitigate risks through the identification of the cause of the potential risk and its impact.

The Company has established an approach to manage the acceptable level of risks to the Company and eliminate the excessive risks in financial instruments in order to maximize the profit given the risks present, for which the Company has implemented processes for risk recognition, measurement and assessment, control, and monitoring and reporting.

The risk management department of the Company manages risks based on the Company’s policy. The risk management committee makes the decision on its risk strategy such as allocation of capital at risk and establishment of risk limit.

 

(1) Credit risk

Credit risk represents the possibility of financial loss incurred when the counterparty fails to fulfill its contractual obligations. The goal of credit risk management is to maintain the Company’s credit risk exposure to a permissible degree and to optimize its rate of return considering such credit risk.

 

- 17 -


1) Credit risk management

In order to measure its credit risk, the Company considers the possibility of failure in performing its obligation to its counterparties, credit exposure of the counterparty and the related default risk, and the rate of default loss. The Company uses credit rating model to assess the possibility of counterparty’s default risk and when assessing the obligor’s credit grade, the Company utilizes a grade derived using statistical methods other than using the obligor’s financial statements and exercising management’s judgment.

2) Credit line management

The Company establishes the appropriate credit line per co-obligor, company and industry to manage credit risk and considers the management of co-obligors, total exposures and loan portfolios when a loan is approved.

3) Credit risk mitigation

The Company mitigates credit risk resulting from the obligor’s credit condition by using financial and physical collateral, guarantees, netting agreements and credit derivatives. The Company has adopted the entrapment method acknowledged by BASEL II standards to mitigate its credit risk. Credit risk mitigation is reflected in qualifying financial collateral, trade receivables, guarantees, residential and commercial real estate and other collaterals. The Company regularly performs a revaluation of collateral reflecting such credit risk mitigation.

4) Maximum exposure to credit risk

The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is as follows in carrying amounts (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

(2) Market risk

Market risk is the possible risk of loss arising from trading activities in the volatility of market factors such as interest rates, stock prices and foreign exchange rates.

 

- 18 -


Market risk occurs as a result of changes in the interest rates and foreign exchange rates for financial instruments that are not yet settled, and all contracts are exposed to a certain level of volatility according to the changes in the interest rates, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates and the price of equity securities.

1) Market risk management

For trading activities, the Company makes judgment to avoid, bear or mitigate risks by identifying the underlying source of the risks: measuring parameters and evaluating their appropriateness.

2) Market risk measurement

The Company uses both a standard model and an internal model approach to measure market risk. A standard risk measurement model is used to calculate individual market risk of owned capital, while an internal risk measurement model is used to calculate general capital market risk and it is used to measure internal risk.

3) Risk limit management

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and January 1, 2010, the Company is not exposed to market risk in connection with trading activities.

4) Sensitivity analysis of market risk

The Company performs the sensitivity analysis for trading and non-trading activities. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and January 1, 2010, the Company is exposed only to interest rate risk from non- trading activities.

Based on market risk sensitivity analysis of non- trading activities, Earning at Risk (“EaR”) and Value at Risk (“VaR”) are as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

Cash flows in the table above include both principal and interest.

 

(3) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company may encounter difficulties in meeting obligations from its financial liabilities.

1) Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk management is to prevent potential cash shortage as a result of the mismatching of uses of funds (liabilities) and sources of funds (assets) or unexpected cash outflows. All assets and liabilities on the separate statements of financial position and derivative financial instruments off-balance sheet are subject to liquidity risk management.

 

- 19 -


Assets and liabilities are grouped by respective accounts under Asset Liability Management (“ALM”) in accordance with the characteristics of the accounts. The Company manages liquidity risk by identifying the maturity gap and gap ratio through various cash flows analysis (i.e. based on remaining maturity, contract period, etc.); while maintaining the gap ratio at or below the an set limit.

2) Maturity analysis of non-derivative financial liabilities
