WOORI FINANCE HOLDINGS CO., LTD.

NON-CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS

ENDED JUNE 30, 2006 AND 2005

AND INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REVIEW REPORT

Audit.Tax.Consulting.Financial Advisory.

Independent Accountants’ Review Report

English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Korean

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Woori Finance Holdings Co., Ltd.:

We have reviewed the accompanying non-consolidated balance sheet of Woori Finance Holdings Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2006 and the related non-consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, all expressed in Korean won. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these financial statements based on our reviews.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards for review of interim financial statement in the Republic of Korea. These standards require that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data, and this provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial statements referred to above are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea (See Note 2).

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea, the non-consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2005 and the related non-consolidated statements of income, appropriations of retained earnings and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in our report dated February 28, 2006, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those non-consolidated financial statements. The accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2005, which is comparatively presented, does not differ in material respects from such audited non-consolidated balance sheet.

Our reviews also comprehended the translation of the Korean won amounts into U.S. dollar amounts and nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that such translation has not been made in conformity with the basis stated in Note 2. Such U.S. dollar amounts are presented solely for the convenience of readers outside of Korea.

Accounting principles and review 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 or cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in countries other than the Republic of Korea. In addition, the procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to review 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 knowledgeable about Korean accounting procedures and review standards and their application in practice.

August 4, 2006

Notice to Readers

This report is effective as of August 4, 2006, the accountants’ review report date. Certain subsequent events or circumstances may have occurred between the accountants’ review report date and the time the accountants’ review report is read. Such events or circumstances could significantly affect the accompanying financial statements and may result in modifications to the accountants’ review report.

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The Company maintains its official accounting records in Korean won and prepares statutory non-consolidated 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 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.

The accompanying financial statements are stated in Korean Won, the currency of the country in which the Company is incorporated and operates. The translation of Korean Won amounts into U.S. dollar amounts is included solely for the convenience of readers outside of the Republic of Korea and has been made at the rate of (Won)960.30 to US$ 1.00 at June 30, 2006, the Base Rate announced by Seoul Money Brokerage Service, Ltd. Such translations should not be construed as representations that the Korean Won amounts could be converted into U.S. dollars at that or any other rate.

-2-

The accounting policies, which have been adopted in preparing the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements, do not differ materially from those used in preparing the non-consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 except for the following:

a.	Adoption of new Statements of Korea Accounting Standards (“SKAS”)

Korea Accounting Standards Board (“KASB”) has been issuing new accounting standards that replace the existing Korea Financial Accounting Standards (“KFAS”) and has issued SKASs No.1 to No.22. The Company had adopted SKASs No.1 to No.17 (except for No.11) before the beginning of 2006 and SKASs

No.18 to No.20 on or after January 1, 2006, and will adopt SKASs No.21 to No.22.

Significant SKASs newly adopted are summarized below.

1) Related Party Disclosures – SKAS No.20

The Company adopted SKAS No.20 – “Related Party Disclosures” in 2006. This statement prescribes the disclosures necessary to draw attention to the possibility that the financial position and profit or loss of an entity may have been affected by the existence of related parties and by transactions and outstanding balances with such parties. It requires disclosing the nature of relationships between parents and subsidiaries, even if there were no transactions between those related parties, and compensation of key management personnel. In addition, transactions between related parties are stated separately for each related party and type of transactions. The adoption of this standard has no effect on the Company’s net assets and net income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006 and for the year ended December 31, 2005.
