Report of Independent Auditors

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

We have audited the accompanying non-consolidated balance sheets of WiderThan Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related non-consolidated statements of income, appropriations of retained earnings, and cash flows for the years 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 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the non-consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of WiderThan Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations, the changes in its retained earnings and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea.

As discussed in Note 1, on December 15, 2005, the Company has completed its initial public offering on the NASDAQ.

Samil Pricewaterhouse Cooper is the Koran member firm of Pricewaterhouse Coopers. Pricewaterhouse Coopers refer to the network of member firms of Pricewaterhouse Coopers International Limited, each of which is a separate and independent legal entity.

Accounting principles and auditing standards and their application in practice vary among countries. The accompanying non-consolidated 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 Presentation The Company maintains its accounting records in Korean won and prepares statutory financial statements in the Korean language in conformity with 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 non-consolidated 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 non-consolidated 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 non-consolidated financial statements.
	Accounting Estimates The preparation of the 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.
	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 Supervisory Commission. As SKFAS Nos. 10, 12 and 13 became applicable to the Company on January 1, 2004, the Company adopted these Standards in its financial statements covering periods beginning January 1, 2004.
	And as SKFAS Nos. 15 through 17 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2005, the Company adopted these Standards in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Revenue Recognition
For the service revenue, the Company recognizes its revenue at the time when services are rendered according to service contracts with wireless internet companies, and the revenue amounts are determinable. Revenues related to system sales are recognized using the percentage- of-completion method. However, when the revenue can not be reliably estimated, the revenue is recognized based on the collectible amounts up to the cost incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash on hand, bank deposits and highly liquid marketable securities with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s estimate of the collectibility of the accounts.

Investment 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 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 moving 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 equity securities, classified as available-for-sale securities of which fair value may not be determined, 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 statement of income 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.

Equity-method Investment Securities
Investments in equity securities of companies, over which the Company exercises significant control or influence, are recorded using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the Company records changes in its proportionate ownership in 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.

11

WiderThan Co., Ltd.
Notes to Non-Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2005 and 2004

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 the initial purchase price and the Company’s initial proportionate ownership in the net book value of the investee are amortized over five years using the straight-line method and the amortization is charged to current operations.

The Company’s proportionate unrealized profit arising from sales by the equity-method investees to the Company or sales between equity-method investees are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s ownership. Under the equity method, the Company records changes in its proportionate ownership in the book value of the investee in current operations, as capital adjustments of as adjustments to retained earnings, depending on the nature of the underlying changes in the book value of the investee.

Foreign currency financial statements of equity method investees are translated into Korean won using the foreign 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 in the capital adjustments account, a component of shareholders’equity.

Property and Equipment
Property 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. In 2004, the restoration cost, related to dismantlement and removal of the interior decorations from leasehold building, amounting to W65,691 thousand was recorded as leasehold improvements.

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over four years.

Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations as incurred. Betterments and renewals which enhance the value of the assets over its most recently appraised value are capitalized.

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.

	Estimated Useful Life
Software	4 years
Industrial property rights — Trade mark	5 years
Industrial property rights — Patent rights	10 years

Research and development costs
The Company recognizes expenses related to research and development activities as operating expense.

Accrued Severance Benefits
Employees and directors with at least one year of service with the Company are entitled to receive a lump-sum severance 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.

Employee severance insurance deposits are deducted from accrued severance benefits. Contributed amounts are refunded from the insurance companies to employees upon the termination of their employment.

Foreign Currency Translation
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Korean won at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date (W1,013.0 : US$1 as of December 31, 2005; W1,035.6 : US$1 as of December 31, 2004), and the resulting translation gains and losses are recognized in current operations.

Translation of the foreign currency financial statements of overseas branches
The Company translates the overseas branches financial statements, which are stated in foreign currency, using the monetary/non monetary method. Accordingly, the monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities of the overseas branch are translated, using the exchange rate in effect as of the balance sheet date. Resulting gain or loss incurred from the translation charges to current operations. The Company translates non-monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities using historic exchange rate, as of the time when the asset is acquired or the liability is obligated.

Foreign currency financial statements of branches, which operate their businesses independently from Corporate headquarters, and equity method investees are translated into Korean won using the exchange rate in effect as of the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities, and annual average exchange rate for income and expenses. Any resulting translation gain or loss is included in the capital adjustment account, a component of shareholders’ equity.

Stock Options
The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements using the fair value method. Under this method, compensation cost for stock option grants are measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. The Company uses a Black-Scholes model to determine the fair value of equity-based awards at the date of grant. When the Company’s common stocks were not traded in the stock market, the Company used an independent third party valuation specialist to determine the fair value of the common stocks on the dates of stock option grants. In case that the Company’s common stocks are traded in the stock market, compensation cost for stock option grants are remeasured at the time of initial public offering using the market price of the common stocks.

	Income Taxes The Company recognizes deferred income taxes for anticipated future tax consequences resulting from temporary differences between amounts reported for financial reporting and income tax purposes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed on such temporary differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to the years when such differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax assets are recognized when it is almost certain that 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 income tax assets and liabilities during the year.

14.	Commitments and Contingencies
	As of December 31, 2005, the Company has entered several service agreements with SK Telecom Co., Ltd., a related party, for providing integrated mobile entertainment solutions. Pursuant to the agreements, approximately 87% of the Company’s revenue was derived from sales to SK Telecom Co., Ltd. in 2005 (2004: 86%). The Company’s operations are significantly dependent upon the business relationship with SK Telecom and the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis that this relationship will continue in the foreseeable future.
	In connection with the Company’s ringback tone carrier application service deployments, the Company has licensed certain intellectual property rights from SK Telecom pursuant to a non-exclusive license agreement. The term of this license agreement is co-terminous with the terms of the Company’s carrier application service contracts for ringback tones. For this license, the Company pays SK Telecom either a percentage of the Company’s revenue based on the number of users in case of a ringback tone carrier application service sale, or based on the sales price of certain ringback tone servers in case of a ringback tone system sale.
	In June 2005, an association representing music producers in Korea sent the Company a notice demanding payment of fees for the Company’s use in its carrier application services since July 2004 for songs over which the association claims it holds certain rights. The Company used and paid fees for these songs under licensing agreements with independent music label companies whose agreements contain representations that these music label companies are the rightful and legal owner of the songs. Nevertheless, the association is claiming that it is the rightful owner. The Company is currently investigating the merit of the association’s claims and the scope of any potential liability. Under the Company’s licensing agreements, the independent music label companies are required to indemnify the Company for any losses resulting from their representations. Should the Company become liable to the association in this matter, the Company intends to exercise its indemnity rights under its licensing agreements with the independent music label companies.
	As of December 31, 2005, the Company has entered into a series of lines of credit with several Korean domestic banks, with an aggregate maximum available lines of credit limit of W9,000 million, US$5 million and GBP £2.5 million.
	As of December 31, 2005, the Company receives guarantee amounting to W217 million from Seoul Guarantee Insurance for the execution of supply contracts.

WiderThan Co., Ltd.
Notes to Non-Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2005 and 2004

¹ As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company did not recognize deferred tax assets for the temporary differences that are not realizable within the foreseeable future.

The statutory income tax rate, including resident tax surcharges, applicable to the Company for the year ended December 31, 2005, was 27.5% (2004: 29.7%). However, as a result of tax reconciliation, tax credits and other items, the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2005, is 43.93% (2004: 29.5%).

20.	Earnings Per Share
	Basic earnings per share and ordinary income per share are computed by dividing net income allocated to common stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Basic ordinary income per share is computed by dividing ordinary income allocated to common stock, which is net income allocated to common stock as adjusted by extraordinary gains or losses, net of related income taxes, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year.
	Basic earnings per shares for years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, are computed as follows:

(in thousands of Korean won, except per share amounts )	2005		2004
Net income	W	4,052,436	W	6,401,753
Less: Preferred stock dividends		—		(1,593,930	)
Net income available for common stock		4,052,436		4,807,823
Weighted-average number of shares of outstanding common stock		14,554,862		10,290,984
Basic earnings per share (in Korean won)	W	278	W	467

Basic ordinary income per share for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 are identical to basic earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, because there were no extraordinary gains or losses.

Diluted earnings per share is computed using the same method as basic earnings per share, but reflects the potential dilution effect that could occur if convertible preferred stocks issued and stock option granted were converted into common shares. For purposes of the computation of diluted earnings per share, net income available for common shares is adjusted to add back preferred stock dividends to preferred stocks.

Report on the Review of Internal Accounting Control System

To the President of
Widerthan Co., Ltd.

We have reviewed the management’s report on the operations of the internal accounting control system (“IACS”) of Widerthan Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2005. In accordance with Article 2-2 of the Act on External Audit for Stock Companies (the “External Audit Law”) of the Republic of Korea, the Company’s management is responsible for reporting on the design and operations of its IACS (“IACS report”). Our responsibility is to review the management’s IACS report and issue a report based on our review.

We conducted our review in accordance with Article 2-3 of the External Audit Law. Our review included inquiries of management and employees, inspection of related documents and checking of the operations of the Company’s IACS. We did not perform an audit of the Company’s IACS and accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, we noted the fallowing deficiency in the design or operations of the Company’s IACS under Article 2-2 of the External Audit Law as of December 31, 2005.

(1) Ineffective internal controls over the spreadsheet access and use on which the Company relies to prepare financial statements.

This report applies to the Company’s IACS in existence as of December 31, 2005. We did not review the Company’s IACS after December 31, 2005. This report has been prepared for Korean regulatory purposes pursuant to the External Audit Law, and may not be appropriate for other purposes or for other users.

As this report is based on Interim Guidelines on Auditors’ Review and Report on Management’s IACS Report issued by the Korean Audit Standards Committee on March 29, 2005, they apply only from that date until the date the Final Standards for Management’s IACS Report, and the Final Standards for Auditors’ Review and Report on Management’s IACS Report become effective. A review based on the final standards may have different results and accordingly, the content of any updated report may be different.

1.1. Company mission

Our mission is to ensure a mobile Internet future – opening a “wider” world to our customers’ subscribers. WiderThan was established in June, 2000 with a vision of pioneering the global mobile Internet. Our main objective is to create and deliver groundbreaking mobile Internet products, solutions and services. Our applications, content and services enable wireless carriers to provide a broad range of mobile entertainment, such as ringback tones, music-on-demand, mobile games, ringtones, messaging and information services, to their subscribers.

From our roots developing and operating mobile entertainment applications for SK Telecom in Korea we have grown into a world leader in the fast-evolving mobile Internet industry. We have successfully developed several applications that we believe were among the first to be deployed anywhere in the world. For example, in 2002, we launched with SK Telecom a WAP, and web enabled ringback tone service, which enables callers to hear music chosen by the service subscriber instead of the traditional electronic ringing sound, while waiting for the call recipient to answer. In 2004, we deployed in Korea a music-on-demand service that enables subscribers to download music to MP3-enabled mobile phones over both wireline or wireless networks.

We currently provide mobile entertainment solutions to 42 wireless carriers in 17 countries, including SK Telecom in Korea, Cingular Wireless, Sprint PCS, T-Mobile USA and Verizon Wireless in the United States, Bharti Airtel in India and Globe Telecom in the Philippines.

The key to WiderThan’s rapid growth and success is its innovative and industry-experienced team comprised of executives from SK Telecom, Nokia, Qualcomm, Samsung Electronics, VeriSign, EDS, AT Kearney and others. WiderThan has been aggressive and exclusive in bringing together only the best management and industry technologists in their respective fields. Together they’re committed to WiderThan’s mission of ensuring a mobile Internet future – opening a “wider” world to its users.

Under fixed fee per period arrangements, we generally receive monthly fixed fees from our carrier customers for our services.
