Independent Accountants’ Review Report
English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Korean
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Woori Finance Holdings Co., Ltd.:
We have reviewed the accompanying non-consolidated statement of financial position of Woori Finance Holdings Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2010 and the related non-consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, 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 statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2009 and the related non-consolidated statements of income, appropriations of retained earnings, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in our report dated March 4, 2010, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those non-consolidated financial statements. The accompanying statement of financial position as of December 31, 2009, which is comparatively presented, does not differ in material respects from such audited non-consolidated statement of financial position.
Our reviews also comprehended the translation of the Korean won amounts into U.S. dollar amounts and nothing has come to our attention that cause 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.

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, changes in shareholders’ equity 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 W1,130.80 to US$ 1.00 at March 31, 2010, 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.
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, 2009.
