(Nasdaq: GRVY), Seoul, Korea, March 17, 2006. As previously reported on Form 6-K of Gravity Co., Ltd. (the "Company"), the Company has been in the process of restating its financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 (the "Financial Statements"). The Company expects that the Financial Statements in restated form will be completed by the end of April 2006 under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or US GAAP and expects to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission an amended annual report on Form 20-F soon thereafter. In addition, the Company expects to issue its financial statements as of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 under generally accepted accounting principles in Korea, or Korean GAAP and plans to hold a general meeting of the shareholders on March 31, 2006 for the purpose of approving, among other items, the financial statements for such period. The Company expects that the net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 has been negatively affected by a decline in revenue, due in part to increased competition and the later than expected release of new games and due to an increase in operating expense, resulting in part from increased expenses attributable to the investigation of irregularities relating to the diversion of royalty payments by Mr. Jung Ryool Kim, the former Chairman of the Company. The Company will furnish a more detailed discussion of its 2005 operating results in its annual report on Form 20-F, which the Company expects to file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on or prior to June 30, 2006. The Company also announced its current expected schedule with respect to the development of certain new games. The Company expects that it will be able to start the beta service of Ragranok II, the successor to Ragnarok Online, which has been the most popular MMORPG offered by the Company, sometime during the fourth quarter of 2006. In addition, the Company expects to begin beta testing two new games, Time N Tales and STYLIA, in the first quarter and second quarter of 2006, respectively. Moreover, the Company hopes to start the beta service of two additional games during the first quarter of 2007, Requiem and Pucca Online. ABOUT GRAVITY CO., LTD. Based in Korea, Gravity is a developer and distributor of online games. Gravity's principal product, Ragnarok Online, is a popular online game in many markets, including Japan, Taiwan and Thailand, and is currently commercially offered in 20 markets.
