Report of Independent Auditors

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
GRAVITY Co., Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of GRAVITY Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of income, appropriations of retained earnings and cash flows for the year then ended, expressed in Korean Won. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in conformity 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 audits 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 GRAVITY Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations, the changes in its retained earnings and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea.

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw your attention to the following matters.

As discussed in Note 22 to the accompanying financial statements, on February 8, 2005, the Company registered with NASDAQ and sold 8 million American Depositary Shares (ADS), with the Company issuing the 5.6 million ADS and existing shareholders selling 2.4 million ADS for total proceeds of US$ 108 million. The price of ADS is US$13.50 per share, and four ADS are equivalent to one common share.
The funds raised will be used for research and development of “RAGNAROK2”, “REQUIEM” and other online games as well as game publishing.

As discussed in Note 14 to the accompanying financial statements, the Company restated its financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2003, to correct the overstatement of research and development costs and its amortization expenses. The said overstatements caused the net income to be overstated by KRW 178 million and the retained earnings to be overstated by KRW 1,708 million.

As discussed in Note 18 to the accompanying financial statements, the Company sells its products to, and purchases certain materials from, related parties. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company had sales to and purchases from related parties amounting to KRW 67 million and KRW 793 million, respectively. The related receivables amounted to KRW 4,021 million as of December 31, 2004.

Accounting principles and auditing standards and their application in practice vary among countries. The accompanying financial statements are not intended to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in countries and jurisdictions other than the Republic of Korea. In addition, the procedures and practices used in the Republic of Korea to audit 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 who are informed about Korean accounting principles or auditing standards and their application in practice.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its financial statements are summarized below:

Basis of Financial Statement Preparation
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 intended for use by those who are informed about Korean accounting principles and practices. The accompanying financial statements have been condensed, restructured and translated into English from the Korean language non-consolidated financial statements.

Certain information attached to 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.

Application of the Statements of Korean Financial Accounting Standards
The Korean Accounting Standards Board has published a series of Statements of Korean Financial Accounting Standards (“SKFAS”), which will gradually replace the existing financial accounting standards, established by the Korean Financial and Supervisory Commission. As SKFAS No 2 through 9 became applicable to the Company on January 1, 2003, the Company adopted these statements in its financial statements covering periods beginning on or after this date. In addition, as SKFAS No 10, 12 and 13 became applicable to the Company on January 1, 2004, the Company adopted these Standards in its financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004

Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported therein. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Online games- subscription revenue

Prepaid online game subscriptions are recognized as revenue upon their actual usage.

Online games-royalties and license fees

The Company licenses the right to sell and distribute its games in exchange for an initial prepaid license fee and guaranteed minimum royalty payments. The prepaid license fee revenues are deferred and recognized ratably over the license period. The guaranteed minimum royalty payments, which are currently only paid in China, are deferred and recognized as the royalties are earned. In addition, the Company receives a royalty payment based on a specified percentage of the licensees’ sales. These royalties, that exceed the guaranteed minimum royalty, are recognized on a monthly basis, as the related revenues are earned by the licensees.

Investments in Securities
The Company accounts for equity and debt securities under the provision of SKFAS No. 8, Investments in Securities. This statement requires investments in equity and debt securities to be classified into one of three categories: trading, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity.

Securities are initially carried at cost, including incidental expenses, with cost being determined using the gross average method. Debt securities, which the Company has the intent and ability to hold to maturity, are generally carried at cost, adjusted for the amortization of discounts or premiums. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized over the term of the debt using the effective interest method. Trading and available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, except for non-marketable securities, classified as available-for-sale securities, which are carried at cost. Non-marketable debt securities are carried at a value using the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the reasonable interest rate determined considering the credit ratings provided by independent credit rating agencies.

Unrealized valuation gains or losses on trading securities are charged to operations and those resulting from available-for-sale securities are charged to capital adjustment, the accumulated amount of which shall be charged to operations when the related securities are sold, or when an impairment loss on the securities is recognized. Impairment losses are recognized in the income statement when the recoverable amounts are less than the acquisition cost of securities or adjusted cost of debt securities for the amortization of discounts or premiums.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical collection experience and estimated collectibility of the receivables.

Inventories
The quantity of inventory on hand is verified using the perpetual inventory system, which continuously updates the quantity of the inventory during the period, and by physical count as of the balance sheet date. And inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the average cost method. Inventory valuation loss, if any, is presented as a contra inventory account to reduce the carrying amount to its net realizable value. This inventory valuation loss forms part of cost of sales.

Investments in Equity Securities
Investments in equity securities of companies, over which the Company exercises a significant control or influence (controlled investees), are recorded using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the Company records changes in its proportionate ownership of the book value of the investee in current operations, as capital adjustments or as adjustments to retained earnings, depending on the nature of the underlying change in the book value of the investee. The Company discontinues the equity method of accounting for investments in equity method investees when the Company’s share in the accumulated losses of the investees equals the costs of the investments and until the subsequent cumulative changes in its proportionate net income of the investees equals its cumulative proportionate net losses not recognized during the periods when the equity method was suspended.

Differences between cost of investment and underlying book value

Differences between the initial purchase price and the Company’s initial proportionate ownership in the net book value of the investee are amortized over reasonable period less than 20 years, and the amortization is charged to investment.

Non-marketable securities

Investments in non-marketable equity securities of non-controlled investees are reported at cost, except for declines in the Company’s proportionate ownership in the underlying book value of the investee which are deemed to be permanent, which are recorded as valuation losses in current operations. Subsequent recoveries are also recorded in current operations up to the original cost of the investment.

Foreign Currency Financial Statements of Equity Method Investees

Foreign currency financial statements of equity method investees are translated into Korean won using the exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities, and annual average exchange rates for income and expenses. Any resulting translation gain or loss is included under the capital adjustment account, a component of shareholders’ equity.

Property, Plant and Equipment and Related Depreciation

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, which includes acquisition cost, production cost and other costs required to prepare the asset for its intended use. It also includes the present value of the estimated cost of dismantling and removing the asset, and restoring the site after the termination of the asset’s useful life, provided it meets the criteria for recognition of provisions.

Depreciation is computed using the declining-balance method, except for buildings which use the straight-line, over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:

     
Description   Estimated Useful Lives
Building
  40 years
 
   
 
   
Computers and equipment
  5 years
 
   
 
   
Furniture and fixtures
  5 years
 
   
 
   
Vehicles
  5 years
 
   

Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures which enhance the value or extend the useful life of the related assets are capitalized.

The Company assesses the potential impairment of property, plant and equipment when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances have made the recovery of an asset’s carrying value unlikely. The carrying value of the asset is reduced to its estimated realizable value by recording an impairment loss charged to current operations and presenting it as a reduction from the said carrying value. However, any recovery of the impaired asset is recorded in current operations and should not exceed the carrying amount of the asset before impairment.

Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the asset, as follows.

     
Description   Estimated Useful Lives
Software
  5 years
 
   
 
   
Development costs
  3 years
 
   
 
   
Other intangible assets
  3 years
 
   

Ordinary research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs directly relating to a new technology or new products with probable future benefits are capitalized as intangible assets. Amortization of development costs is computed using the straight-line method over three years from the commencement of the commercial production of the related products or use of the related technology. Such costs are subject to periodic review of their recoverability. In the event that such amounts are determined to be not recoverable, they are written down or written off from the accounts.

8

The Company assesses the potential impairment of intangible assets when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances have made the recovery of an asset’s carrying value unlikely. The carrying value of the asset is reduced to its estimated realizable value by recording an impairment loss charged to current operations and presenting it as a reduction from the said carrying value. However, any recovery of the impaired asset is recorded in current operations and should not exceed the carrying amount of the asset before impairment.

Impairment Loss
An impairment loss related to assets, other than marketable securities, investment securities and assets for which present value discounts are applied, are included in income from operations when there are declines in fair value arising from obsolescence, physical damage or the significant decline in market value. A subsequent recovery is recorded as non-operating income up to the original book value.

Leases
The Company accounts for lease transactions as either operating leases or financing leases, depending on the terms of the lease agreement. Machinery and equipment acquired under financing lease agreements are recorded as property, plant and equipment at cost and depreciated using the declining-balance method over their estimated useful lives. In addition, the aggregate lease payments are recorded as obligations under financing leases, net of accrued interest, as determined by the total lease payments in excess of the cost of the leased machinery and equipment. Accrued interest is amortized over the lease period using the effective interest rate method. In addition, the gain realized on sales and leaseback of certain assets, representing the excess of net sales price over the cost basis of the lease assets, is deferred and amortized as income in proportion to the related gross rental charged to expense over the operating lease term. Machinery and equipment acquired under operating lease agreements are not included in property, plant and equipment. Rather, the related lease rentals are charged to expense when incurred.

Accrued Severance Benefits
Employees and directors with at least one year of service are entitled to receive a lump-sum payment upon termination of their employment, based on their length of service and rate of pay at the time of termination. Accrued severance benefits represent the amount which would be payable assuming all eligible employees and directors were to terminate their employment as of the balance sheet date.

The Company has made deposits to insurance company. The use of the deposit is restricted to the payment of severance benefits. Accordingly, accrued severance benefits in the accompanying balance sheet are presented net of this deposit.

Income Tax Expense
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities, which represent temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed on such temporary differences, including available net operating loss carry-forwards and tax credits, by applying statutory tax rates applicable to the years when such differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is more likely such deferred tax assets will be realized. The total income tax provision includes the current tax expense under applicable tax regulations and the change in the balance of deferred tax assets and liabilities during the year.

Foreign Currency Translation
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Korean Won at the rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and resulting translation gains or losses are recognized in current operations.

Currently, the Company is entitled to a reduced tax rate of 14.85% by virtue of the Special Tax Treatment Control Law of Korea, which is 50% of the statutory tax rate and applied to certain designated venture companies. In the year 2005, the Company will reapply for its designation as a venture company. However it is uncertain as to whether the Company will obtain this designation. Even if the Company ceases to enjoy the 50% reduction in corporate income tax rate in 2005, the Company will instead be entitled to a special tax exemption of 10% in corporate income tax rate for fiscal year 2005 by virtue of being a small-and medium-sized company. Accordingly, deferred income taxes as of December 31, 2004 were calculated based on the rate of 24.75%, and 27.50% for the amounts expected to be realized during the fiscal year 2005, and fiscal years thereafter, respectively.
