AND INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REVIEW REPORT

Independent Accountants’ Review Report

English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Korean

To Shareholders and the Board of Directors 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, 2005 and the related non-consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, 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 statements in the Republic of Korea. Those 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 the financial accounting standards 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, 2004 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 25, 2005, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those non-consolidated financial statements. The accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2004, which is comparatively presented, does not differ in material respects from such audited non-consolidated balance sheet, except for what is explained in Note 2.

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.

Without affecting our conclusion, we draw attention to the following:

As explained in Note 1 to the non-consolidated financial statements, LG Investment Securities Co., Ltd. (“LG Securities”), a subsidiary of the Company, merged with Woori Securities Co., Ltd. (“Woori Securities”), also a subsidiary of the Company, on March 31, 2005 and changed its name to Woori Investment Securities Co., Ltd. (“Woori Investment Securities”). Woori Investment Securities took over substantially all assets and liabilities of Woori Securities by exchanging one common share of Woori Securities with 0.654 share of Woori Investment Securities. The number of issued common shares and contributed capital of Woori Investment Securities increased from 122.1 million and (Won)625.5 billion to 134.5 million and (Won)687.4 billion as of March 31, 2005. As a result of this merger, the Company’s ownership percentage in Woori Investment Securities increased from 26.92% to 33.66%.

As explained in Note 1 to the non-consolidated financial statements, the Company purchased 90% ownership interest of LG Investment Trust Management Co., Ltd. (“LG Investment Trust Management”) from Woori Investment Securities on May 6, 2005. Subsequently, LG Investment Trust Management merged with Woori Investment Trust Management Co., Ltd. (“Woori Investment Trust Management”), also a subsidiary of the Company, on May 31, 2005 and changed its name to Woori Asset Management Co., Ltd. (“Woori Asset Management”). Woori Asset Management took over substantially all assets and liabilities of Woori Investment Trust Management by exchanging one common share of Woori Investment Trust Management with 0.635 share of Woori Asset Management. The number of issued common shares and contributed capital of Woori Asset Management increased from 6 million and (Won)30.0 billion to 9.8 million and (Won)49.1 billion as of May 31, 2005. As a result of this merger, the Company’s ownership percentage in Woori Asset Management increased from 90% to 93.9%.

As explained in Note 20 to the non-consolidated financial statements, the Company’s receivables from its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 are (Won)383.0 billion and (Won)288.8 billion, respectively, and payables to its subsidiaries are (Won)0.6 billion and (Won)16.0 billion, respectively. In addition, for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, revenues from transactions with its subsidiaries are (Won)7.9 billion and (Won)17.6 billion, respectively, and expenses are (Won)4.6 billion and (Won)15.9 billion, respectively.

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.

July 25, 2005

Notice to Readers

This report is effective as of July 25, 2005, the accountants’ review report date. Certain subsequent events or circumstances may have occurred between this review report date and the time the accountants’ review report is read.

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 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 for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.

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 are included solely for the convenience of readers outside of the Republic of Korea and have been made at the rate of (Won) 1,024.4 to US$ 1.00 at June 30, 2005, the Base Rate announced by Seoul Money Brokerage Service, Ltd. Such translations should not be constructed 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, 2004, except for the following:

a.	Accounting of income taxes

The Company adopted SKAS No. 16 - ‘Income Taxes’ from 2005. This statement requires that the temporary differences relating to items in equity, which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years, are directly charged to the related equity items, and deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified into current and non-current. The adoption of this standard has no effect on the Company’s net assets and net income.

b.	Accounting of provision, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

The Company adopted SKAS No.17 – ‘Provision, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’ in 2005. This statement replaces paragraph 26 ‘provision for estimated liabilities’ and paragraph 74 ‘contingent situation’ in Korea Financial Accounting Standard (“KFAS”) and Interpretations on KFAS 31-74 ‘accounting of contingent situation’. It defines provision, contingent liabilities and contingent assets, gives examples of provisions and describes footnote requirements. The adoption of this standard has no effect on the Company’s net assets and net income.

c.	Reclassification of statements of income and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2004

As the Company adopted SKAS No. 15 - ‘Investments in Associates’ in preparing the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, net loss on valuation using the equity method of accounting in the statements of income and cash flows for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004, which are presented for comparative purposes, is reclassified into gain and loss on valuation using the equity method of accounting at gross. This reclassification has no effect on the Company’s net income for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

d.	Financial statements as of December 31, 2004

Woori Bank, a subsidiary of the Company, directly recorded certain assets, such as securities and call loans that were deemed owned by Woori Bank through holding private beneficiary certificates, on its financial statements as of December 31, 2004. However, in accordance with a new interpretation of accounting practices, a private beneficiary certificate on which management, as investor, agrees to have no interference and is not managing, is regarded as an ordinary beneficiary certificate and recorded as securities. Woori Bank retroactively adopted this new interpretation in its 2004 financial statements presented for comparative purposes. Therefore, the Company reflects such financial statements of Woori Bank in investment securities accounted for using the equity method

of accounting in its 2004 financial statements. As a result, investment securities accounted for using the equity method of accounting and capital adjustments increased by (Won)11.6 billion and (Won)42.1 billion, respectively, and retained earnings decreased by (Won)30.5 billion in the Company’s 2004 balance sheet presented for comparative purposes.
