AND INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

Independent Auditors’ 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 audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Woori Finance Holdings Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, all 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 did not audit the financial statements of Woori Investment Securities Co., Ltd., a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, which statements reflect total assets constituting 6.1% ((Won)15,193 billion) and 6.1% ((Won)12,833 billion) of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and total revenues constituting 11.6% ((Won)3,096 billion) and 14.8% ((Won) 2,839 billion) of consolidated total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and the financial statements of Woori Financial Co., Ltd., a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, which statements reflect total assets constituting 0.5% ((Won)1,154 billion) of consolidated total assets and total revenues constituting 0.6% ((Won)154 billion) of consolidated total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007. The financial statements of Woori Investment Securities Co., Ltd. for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and Woori Financial Co., Ltd for the year ended December 31, 2007 were audited by other auditors, KPMG Samjong Accounting Corp., whose reports expressed unqualified opinions on those statements and have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Woori Investment Securities Co., Ltd. and Woori Financial Co., Ltd. are based solely on the reports of the other auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. These standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to 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 and the report of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea.

Our audits also comprehended the translation of the Korean won amounts into U.S. dollar amounts and in our opinion, such translation has 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 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 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 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 knowledgeable about Korean accounting procedures and auditing standards and their application in practice.

March 7, 2008

Notice to Readers

This report is effective as of March 7, 2008, the auditors’ report date. Certain subsequent events or circumstances may have occurred between this audit report date and the time the audit report is read. Such events or circumstances could significantly affect the accompanying financial statements and may result in modifications to the auditors’ report.

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The Company and its subsidiaries (excluding foreign subsidiaries) maintain its official accounting records in Korean won and prepare statutory 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 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.

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)938.2 to US$ 1.00 at December 31, 2007, 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 accompanying consolidated financial statements were approved by the board of directors, of which board meeting was held on March 3, 2008.

The significant accounting policies followed in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements are summarized below.

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

Korea Accounting Standards Board (“KASB”) has been issuing new accounting standards that replaces the existing Korea Financial Accounting Standards (“KFAS”) and has issued SKASs No.1 to No.25. The Company had adopted SKASs No.1 to No.20 (except for No.11) before the beginning of the 2007 and SKASs No.11 ‘Discontinuing operations’ and No.21 ‘Preparation and presentation of financial statements’ to No.25 ‘Consolidated financial statement’ on or after January 1, 2007.

- 9 -

Significant SKASs newly adopted are summarized below.

1) Change of presentation of financial statements

The Company and its subsidiaries have changed presentation of certain balance sheet and income statement items in accordance with SKAS No.21 “Preparation and presentation of financial statements I” and No.24 “Preparation and presentation of financial statements II (financial industry)” on or after January 1, 2007. As a result, intangible assets and non-operating assets, previously included in fixed assets and intangible assets, have been reclassified to other assets. In addition, the debentures, previously presented as a single item, have been included in borrowings and unrealized gains or losses, previously included in capital adjustments have been separately presented as accumulated other comprehensive income.

Also, the Company and its subsidiaries have started to present separately discontinued operations in the statements of income and made some changes in the classification between operating and non-operating items. As a result of these reclassifications, operating revenue amounting to (Won)804,134 and (Won)668,942 millions and operating expenses amounting to (Won)508,677 and (Won)121,754 millions for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, increased and non-operating income and non-operating expenses decreased by the same amounts.

2) Earnings per share – SKAS No.23

The Company and its subsidiaries adopted SKAS No.23 ‘Earnings per share’ in 2007. The Company and its subsidiaries have computed basic earnings per common share or basic net income per common share by dividing the profit or loss from continuing operations or net income, respectively, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the Company and its subsidiaries have adjusted profit or loss from continuing operations or net income and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

3) Consolidated financial statement – SKAS No.25

The Company and its subsidiaries adopted SKAS No.25 ‘Consolidated financial statement’ in 2007. This statement prescribes the preparation and presentation of consolidated financial statements in respect of the scope of a group and the theory of an enterprise entity. This statement identifies a group as an economic entity which is composed of a parent and its subsidiaries. If the Act on External Audit of Corporations and the Enforcement Decree of the Act define a parent and its subsidiaries, the members of the group is determined according to that Act. In addition, based on the theory of an enterprise entity, this statement requires to present losses applicable to the minority interest which exceed the minority interest in the subsidiary’s equity as negative in the consolidated balance sheet and net income of consolidated entity in the consolidated statement of income and to separate net income into controlling interest and minority interest.

The adoption of these standards has no effect on the Company’s net assets and net income for the years ended December 31, 2006.

b.	Reclassification of financial statements for the prior period

For the comparative purpose, the Company and its subsidiaries have reclassified the balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 and statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2006. However, the above reclassifications have no effect on the Company and its subsidiaries’ net assets as of December 31, 2006 and net income for the year ended December 31, 2006.

- 10 -

c.	Consolidation accounting

1) Investment and equity account elimination and inter-company transaction elimination

The Company’s investments in subsidiaries and equity accounts of subsidiaries were eliminated as of the date the Company obtained control of the subsidiaries. The differences between acquisition costs and proportionate net assets value on the acquisition date are recorded either in goodwill or negative goodwill. Goodwill is amortized using the straight-line method over 20 years or less. Negative goodwill arising with respect to identifiable non-monetary assets is recognized as income, as economic benefit embodied therein flow to the acquirer (when the assets are amortized or disposed). Negative goodwill in excess of the fair value of non-monetary assets, which is deemed arising from purchasing monetary assets at lower price, is immediately recognized as a gain.

If additional shares are purchased after control of the subsidiaries having been obtained, the differences between acquisition costs and net assets acquired are credited or charged to capital surplus. If the acquisition date is not the year-end balance sheet date of subsidiaries, the nearest accounting closing date to the actual acquisition date is deemed as the acquisition date.

All significant inter-company transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

2) Overseas consolidated subsidiaries’ financial statements’ conversion rate

The Korean won amounts presented in the financial statements of the overseas consolidated subsidiaries were computed by translating U.S. dollar into Korean won based on the Base rate ($1.00 to (Won)938.2 and (Won)929.6 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively) published by Seoul Money Brokerage Service, Ltd. and cross rates.

3) Investment securities accounted for using the equity method of accounting

If the Company and its subsidiaries own 20% (bank subsidiary 15%) or more of voting shares of its investees, either directly or indirectly, the Company and its subsidiaries are presumed to have significant influence on the investees’ management and accordingly, the investment equity securities in those investees are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Investment equity securities are initially stated at their acquisition costs including incidental cost incurred in connection with acquisition of the related securities.

The excess of the acquisition cost over the proportionate net asset value on the acquisition date is amortized using the straight-line method over 20 years or less. The excess of the proportionate net asset value over the acquisition cost arising with respect to identifiable non-monetary assets are recognized as income, as economic benefits embodied therein flow to the acquirer (when the assets are amortized or disposed). The amount of the excess of the proportionate net asset value over the acquisition cost in excess of the fair value of non-monetary assets, which is deemed arising from purchasing monetary assets at lower price, is immediately recognized as a gain.

The Company and its subsidiaries’ interest in net assets of investees are added to or deducted from the investment securities. The Company and its subsidiaries’ interest in net income or net loss of investees are reflected in current operations. Changes in retained earnings of the investees are reflected in the retained earning account and changes in capital surplus or accumulated other comprehensive income of the investees are reflected in the accumulated other comprehensive income account of the Company and its subsidiaries.

4) Date of the consolidated financial statements

The accompanying financial statements are stated as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the balance sheets date of the Company. In case the balance sheet dates of affiliates differ from the Company’s, the Company used the consolidated balance sheets of affiliates as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

- 11 -

5) Minority interests

Minority interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are presented within equity and identified separately from the Company’s interests in subsidiaries. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries present net income of consolidated entity in the consolidated statement of income and classify net income into controlling interest and minority interest.

d.	Securities (excluding investment securities accounted for using the equity method of accounting)

Debt and equity securities are initially stated at their acquisition costs (fair value of considerations paid) including incidental costs incurred in connection with acquisition of the related securities using the moving average method and classified into trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity securities, based on the intent with respect to those securities. The Company and its subsidiaries classify securities as trading securities when those securities are held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. When the Company and its subsidiaries have the positive intent to hold such securities to maturity and the ability to do so, the debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity securities. All other securities are classified as available-for-sales securities.

The Company and its subsidiaries’ accounting for securities, except for the equity securities accounted for using the equity method of accounting, are as follows:

1) Trading securities

Trading securities are stated at fair value with gains or losses on valuation charged to current operations.

2) Available-for-sale securities

Securities classified as available-for-sale are stated at fair value. Unrealized gains or losses on valuation of available-for-sale securities are included in accumulated other comprehensive income and the accumulated unrealized gains or losses are reflected to net income when the securities are sold or written down. Equity securities without readily determinable fair value can be stated at acquisition cost on the financial statement if the fair value of the securities is not credibly determinable.

The declines in the fair value (or recoverable value) of individual available-for-sale securities below their acquisition or amortized cost that are other than temporary, result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. Factors in determining whether such declines in value are other than temporary are considered on each balance sheet date. The Company and its subsidiaries recognize the write-downs, estimating the recoverable value of individual available-for-sale securities unless there is a clear evidence to indicate that such write-downs are not deemed necessary. The related write-downs are recorded in current operations as loss on impairment of available-for-sale securities.

3) Held-to-maturity securities

Held-to-maturity securities are presented at acquisition cost after premiums or discounts for debt securities are amortized or accreted, respectively. The Company and its subsidiaries recognize write-downs resulting from the declines in the fair value, which is computed by discounting expected cash flows (recoverable cash flows) using the effective interest rate on the acquisition date, below their book value on balance sheet date and states those securities at the fair value. The related write-downs are recorded in current operations as loss on impairment of securities held-to-maturity.

- 12 -

4) Reversal of loss on impairment of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities

For available-for-sale securities, the reversal is recorded in current operations up to the previously recognized impairment loss as a reversal of loss on impairment of available-for-sale securities, and any excess is included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a gain on valuation of available-for-sale securities. However, if the increases in the fair value of the impaired securities are not regarded as a reversal of the impairment, the increases in the fair value are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. For equity securities without readily determinable fair value, which were impaired based on the net asset value, the reversal is recorded up to their acquisition cost. For held-to-maturity securities, the reversal is recorded in current operations up to the amount previously recognized impairment loss as a reversal of loss on impairment of held-to-maturity securities.

5) Reclassification of securities

If the objective and ability to hold securities of the Company and its subsidiaries change, available-for-sale securities can be reclassified to held-to-maturity securities and held-to-maturity securities can be reclassified to available-for-sale securities. Whereas, if the Company and its subsidiaries sell held-to-maturity securities, exercise a right to prepay or reclassify held-to-maturity securities to available-for-sale securities within the three fiscal years, all debt securities that are owned or purchased cannot be classified as held-to-maturity securities. On the other hand, trading securities cannot be reclassified to available-for-sale securities or held-to-maturity securities and securities in the other categories cannot be reclassified to trading securities. Nevertheless, trading securities can be reclassified to available-for-sale securities only when the fair value of the trading securities cannot be readily determinable.

When held-to-maturity securities are reclassified to available-for-sale securities, those securities are stated at the fair value on the reclassification date and the difference between the fair value and book value are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as gains or losses on valuation of available-for-sale securities. For available-for-sale securities reclassified to held-to-maturity securities, gains or losses on valuation of available-for-sales securities, which had been accumulated until the reclassification, continue to be stated on accumulated other comprehensive income and will be amortized using the effective interest method and be charged to interest income on maturity. The difference between the fair value on the reclassification date and the face value of the securities reclassified to held-to-maturity securities is amortized using the effective interest method and charged to interest income. In case the fair value of trading securities cannot be readily determinable, the securities are reclassified to available-for-sale securities at the latest fair value.

e.	Interest income recognition

The Company and its subsidiaries recognize interest income on loans on accrual basis, except for interest income on loans having overdue interest and principal, and loans to customers who are bankrupt. When a loan is reclassified as a non-interest-accrued loan, accrued interest income recorded in prior periods is reversed and future interest income is recognized on cash basis.

f.	Allowance for possible losses on credits

The Company and its subsidiaries classify corporate credits based on the borrowers’ capacity to repay in consideration of the borrowers’ business operations, financial position and future cash flows, past due period and status of any bankruptcy proceedings. Credits to small companies and households, however, are classified by past due period and status of bankruptcy proceedings and not by evaluating the debt repayment capability of a borrower or customer. The Company and its subsidiaries classify all credits to a single borrower in the same category of classification, but credits guaranteed or credits collateralized by bank deposits, real estate and other assets may be classified differently based on the borrowers’ guarantor’s capability to service such guarantee or based on the value of collateral securing such credits.

- 13 -

The classifications of the loans pursuant to the policies of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 are as follows:


Credit Rating	Classification	Loans to corporate	Loans to households	Credit card accounts
AAA ~ BB-	Normal	Not less than 0.85(0.9)%	Not less than 1%	Not less than 1.5%
B+, B-, C	Precautionary	Not less than 7%	Not less than 10%	Not less than 15%
D	Substandard	Not less than 20%	Not less than 20%	Not less than 20%
D	Doubtful	Not less than 50%	Not less than 55%	Not less than 60%
D	Loss	100%	100%	100%

The Company and its subsidiaries estimate the allowance for possible credit losses considering the Banking Regulations in the Republic of Korea, discounted future cash flows on individual or homogeneous loans, and expected loss rated based on historical loan loss experience.

The Company and its subsidiaries has provided the allowance for possible losses on portion of confirmed acceptances and guarantees, acceptances and guarantees to note endorsed and unconfirmed acceptances and guarantees based on the credit classification. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries also provide other allowance for the unused credit line facility for cash advance and purchase of active credit card accounts and unused credit line of consumer and corporate loans.

In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries partially changed the policy for estimating the allowance for possible losses on loans to corporations classified as “Normal” for the year ended December 31, 2007 as follows.


Business-insensitive Industry		*Business-sensitive Industry ()**
Before	After	Before	After
Not less than 0.7%	Not less than 0.85 %	Not less than 0.7%	Not less than 0.9 %

(*)	Constructions, wholesale and retail trade, accommodation and food service activities and real estate activities, renting and leasing prudent to Korea Standard Industry Code

The changes in accounting estimates described above are to reasonably estimate the allowance for possible losses on loans based on prior experience. The effect of changes in accounting estimates shall be applied prospectively. As of December 31, 2007, the allowance for possible losses on loans, allowances for acceptances and guarantees and allowances for unused credit line increased by (Won)168.9 billion, (Won)19.9 billion and (Won)31.4 billion, respectively, and the income before income tax decreased by (Won)220.2 billion as a result of the changes in accounting estimates.

g.	Deferred loan origination fees and costs

The loan origination fees and costs are deferred and recorded as deductions from or additions to loans, when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with loan units will flow into the entity and when its cost can be measured reliably. The loan origination fees and costs are amortized or reversed in the straight-line method and adjusted to interest on loans.

h.	Restructuring of loans

A loan whose contractual terms are modified in a troubled debt restructuring program is accounted for at present value of future cash flows in the revised contract discounted using the effective interest rate in the original contract. If the present value differs from the face value of the loan, it is recorded as an allowance for possible loan loss. In addition, the allowance for possible loan loss is recorded based on the observable market value of the loan, if available, or the fair value of collateral of the loan, if the collection of the loan is likely to be made through a disposition of collateral.

A loan to be exchanged with an equity security, of which the number of shares is determined, is recorded at the lower of fair value of the shares to be exchanged or net book value of the loan until it is actually converted. The valuation losses are recorded as an allowance for possible loan losses.

- 14 -

i.	Valuation of receivables and payables at present value

Receivables and payables incurred through long-term installment transactions, long-term borrowing and lending transactions, and other similar transactions are stated at present value of expected future cash flows with the gain or loss on disposition of related receivables and payables reflected in current operations, unless the difference between nominal value and present value is immaterial. Present value discount or premium is amortized using the effective interest rate method with the amortization recorded as interest income or interest expense.

j.	Fixed assets and depreciation

Fixed assets are recorded at acquisition cost, except for assets revalued upward in accordance with the Asset Revaluation Law. Routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that result in enhancement of the value or extension of the useful lives of the facilities involved are capitalized as additions to fixed assets. The estimated useful lives and depreciation methodology applied by the Company and its subsidiaries are as follows:


Assets	Depreciation methodology	Estimated useful lives
Buildings	Straight line method	20~50 years
Structure in leased office	Straight line method	4~5, 40 years
Other operating assets	Declining method or straight line method	4~20 years
Leased assets	Declining method	5 year

k.	Intangible assets and amortization

Intangible assets are recorded at production cost or acquisition cost, plus incidental expenses. Expenditures incurred in conjunction with development of new products or technology and others, in which the elements of costs can be individually identified and future economic benefits are probably expected, are capitalized as development costs under intangible assets. If the Company or its subsidiaries donate assets such as buildings to the national government or to the local government and is given a right to use or benefit from the assets, the donated assets are recorded as beneficial donated assets under intangible assets. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or contractual benefit period.

l.	Valuation allowance for non-business use property

Non-business use property included in fixed assets is recorded when the Company acquires collateral by foreclosure. If the auction-bidding price is lower than book value, the difference is provided as a valuation allowance with the valuation loss charged to current operations.

m.	Amortization of discount (premium) on debentures

Discounts or premiums on debentures issued are accreted or amortized over the period from issuance to maturity using the effective interest rate method. Accretion or amortization of discounts or premiums is recognized as interest expense or interest income on the debentures.

n.	Recognition of asset impairment

When the book value of assets (except for trading securities, investment securities and assets valued at present value) exceeds the recoverable value of the assets due to obsolescence, physical damage or a sharp decrease in market value and the difference is material, those assets are adjusted to recoverable value in the balance sheet with the resulting impairment loss charged to current operations. If the recoverable value of assets increases in subsequent years, the increase in value is credited to operations as a gain until the recoverable value equals the book value of the assets before the impairment loss was recognized.

- 15 -

o.	Accrued severance benefits

Employees and directors with more than one year of service are entitled to receive a lump-sum payment upon termination of their service with the Company and its subsidiaries. The accrued severance benefits that would be payable assuming all eligible employees and directors were to terminate as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 amount to (Won)391,815 million and (Won)363,729 million, respectively (Note 23).

p.	Bonds under resale or repurchase agreements

Bonds purchased under resale agreements are recorded as loans and bonds sold under repurchase agreements are recorded as borrowings when the Company and its subsidiaries purchase or sell securities under resale or repurchase agreements.

q.	Accounting for derivative instruments

Derivative instruments are classified as either trading or hedging depending on their transaction purpose. Derivative instruments are accounted for at fair value with the valuation gain or loss recorded as assets or liabilities. The accounting for derivative transactions that are part of a qualified hedge, which is determined based both on the purpose of the transaction and on meeting the specified criteria for hedge accounting, differs depending on whether the transaction is a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge. Fair value hedge accounting is applied to a derivative instrument designated as hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or a firm commitment (hedged item) that is attributable to a particular risk. The gain or loss both on the hedging derivative instruments and on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk is reflected in current operations.

Cash flow hedge accounting is applied to a derivative instrument designated as hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows of an asset or a liability or a forecasted transaction that is attributable to a particular risk. The effective portion of gain or loss on a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge is recorded as a accumulated other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion is recorded in current operations. The effective portion of gain or loss recorded as a accumulated other comprehensive income is reclassified to current earnings in the same period during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. If the hedged transaction results in the acquisition of an asset or the incurrence of a liability, the gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income is added to or deducted from the asset or the liability.

r.	Income tax expense and deferred tax asset (liability)

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences with some exceptions and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilized. Income tax expense is determined by adding or deducting the total income tax and surtaxes to be paid for the current period and the changes in deferred income tax assets or liabilities. In addition, current tax and deferred tax is charged or credited directly to equity if the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity in the same or different period.

s.	Accounting for foreign currency translation

The Korean won equivalent of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in these consolidated financial statements based on Base Rate announced by Seoul Money Brokerage Service Ltd. ((Won)938.2 and (Won)929.6 to $1.00 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively) or cross rates at the balance sheets date. Translation gains and losses on foreign currencies denominated assets and liabilities are credited or charged to operations.

t.	Stock-based compensation

The Company presented stock options at fair value in accordance with Interpretation on KFAS 39-35. The stock-based compensation had been charged to general & administration expense in the statement of income and credited to capital adjustments over the contract term of the services provided. However, in 2006, the Company made a resolution that the stock-based compensation will be settled by paying cash instead of issuing equity instrument. Therefore, the Company reclassified the compensation cost from equity to liabilities and recognized the incremental cost between the award value at the date the resolution was made and the fair value at the date it was granted. The Company recorded stock based compensation cost subject to exercise as liabilities as of December 31, 2007.

u.	Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

The Company and its subsidiaries record liabilities of uncertain timing or amount, when they have a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If there is material difference between the nominal value and present value of a provision, the amount of the provision are stated at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. In case the expenditure required settling a provision is expected to be reimbursed by another third party, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset when, and only when, it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received if the entity settles obligation. In this case, gains on the reimbursement are offset by related losses in income statement.

(*1)

Woori Bank has invested in Collateralized Debt Obligations (“CDO”), of which the face value is amounted to USD 1,090 million. Of this amount, USD 491 million is attributed to the U.S. “subprime” credit markets where these CDO’s are collateralized by residential mortgage backed securities. As a result of the instability of the U.S. real estate and credit markets, Woori Bank recognized (Won)454.7 billion of loss (loss on valuation of trading securities and available-for-sale securities) for the year ended December 31, 2007 and (Won)78.8 billion as a loss on valuation of available-for-sale securities recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. Woori Bank expects conditions in the U.S. residential real estate and credit markets to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future, and therefore the future fair value estimate of CDO could differ from that of Woori Bank as of December 31, 2007.

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)938.20 to US$ 1.00 at December 31, 2007, 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 accompanying non-consolidated financial statements were approved by the board of directors, of which board meeting was held on March 3, 2008.

The significant accounting policies followed in preparing the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements are summarized below.

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

Korea Accounting Standards Board (“KASB”) has been issuing new accounting standards that replaces the existing Korea Financial Accounting Standards (“KFAS”) and has issued SKASs No.1 to No.25. The Company had adopted SKASs No.1 to No.20 (except for No.11) before the beginning of the 2007 and has adopted SKASs No.11 ‘Discontinuing operations’ and No.21 ‘Preparation and presentation of financial statements’ to No.25 ‘Consolidated financial statement’ on or after January 1, 2007.

Significant SKASs newly adopted are summarized below.

Change of presentation of financial statements

The Company has prepared the balance sheets, income statements, statements of appropriations of retained earnings (statements of disposition of accumulated deficit), statements of changes in shareholders’ equity, statements of cash flows and notes on a going concern basis in accordance with SKAS No.21 and revised No.101 ‘Financial holding company’. The presentation and classification of items in the financial statements should be retained from one period to the next to improve the comparability of financial statements and the comparative information should be disclosed in respect of the previous period for all amounts reported in the financial statements. Thus, the Company has prepared the statements of changes in shareholders’ equity as a complete set of financial statements and the statements of comprehensive income as a note.

2) Earnings per common share

The Company adopted SKAS No.23 ‘Earnings per Share’ in 2007. The Company has computed basic earnings per common share or basic net income per common share by dividing the profit or loss from continuing operations or net income, respectively, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the Company has adjusted profit or loss from continuing operations or net income and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

b.	Investment securities accounted for using the equity method of accounting

If the Company owns 20% or more of voting shares of its investees, either directly or indirectly, the Company is presumed to have significant influence on the investees’ management and accordingly, the investment equity securities in those investees are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Investment equity securities are initially stated at their acquisition costs including incidental cost incurred in connection with acquisition of the related securities.

The Company’s interest in net assets of investees is added to or deducted from the investment securities. The Company’s interest in net income or net loss of investees is reflected in current operations. Changes in retained earnings of the investees are reflected in the retained earning account and changes in capital surplus or other capital accounts of the investees are reflected in the capital adjustment account of the Company.

c.	Allowance for possible loan losses

The Company provides an allowance for possible loan losses based on management analysis of the borrowers’ capacity to repay and prior bad debt experience. The allowance for possible loan losses is presented as a deduction from loans.

d.	Fixed assets and depreciation

Fixed assets are recorded at acquisition cost and expenditures that increase future economic benefits beyond its most recently assessed standard of performance are capitalized as additions to fixed assets.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method for leasehold improvements and the declining balance method for all other assets based on the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful life is 5 years for fixed assets.

e.	Intangible assets

Intangible assets are recorded at acquisition cost. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 5 years.

f.	Amortization of discount on debentures

Discounts on debentures issued are presented as deductions from the debentures. Discounts are accreted over the period from issuance to maturity using the effective interest rate method. Accretion of discounts is recognized as interest expense on the debentures.

g.	Accrued severance benefits

In accordance with the Company’s policy, all employees with more than one year of service are entitled to receive severance benefit payments at termination. Before the beginning of 2007, deposits for severance benefits, which would be directly paid to employees, were recorded as deductions from accrued severance benefits. Beginning 2007, deposits for severance benefits have been transferred to defined benefit post-retirement pension plan assets which are presented as deductions from accrued severance benefits (Note 8).

- 8 -

h.	Stock-based compensation

The Company had valued stock options at fair value in accordance with Interpretation on KFAS 39-35. The stock-based compensation had been charged to general and administration expense in the statement of income and credited to capital adjustments over the contract term of the services provided. However, in 2006, the Company decided that the stock-based compensation will be settled by paying cash instead of issuing equity instrument. Therefore, the Company reclassified the compensation cost from equity to liabilities and recognized the incremental cost between the award value at the date the resolution was made and the fair value at the date it was granted. The Company recorded stock based compensation cost subject to exercise as liabilities as of December 31, 2007.

Internal Accounting Control System Review Report

English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Korean

To Chief Executive Officer of

Woori Finance Holdings Co., Ltd.:

We have reviewed the management’s report on the operations of the Internal Accounting Control System (“IACS”) of Woori Finance Holdings Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007. The Company’s management is responsible for designing and operating IACS and for its assessment of the effectiveness of IACS. Our responsibility is to review the management’s report on the operations of the IACS and issue a report based on our review. The management’s report on the operations of the IACS of the Company states that “based on its assessment of the operations of the IACS as of December 31, 2007, the Company’s IACS has been designed and is operating effectively as of December 31, 2007, in all material respects, in accordance with the IACS standards established by the Internal Accounting Control System Operations Committee (IACSOC) of the Korea Listed Companies Association.”

Our review was conducted in accordance with the IACS review standards established by the Korean Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and perform, in all material respects, the review of management’s report on the operations of the IACS to obtain a lower level of assurance than an audit. A review includes obtaining an understanding of the Company’s IACS and consists principally of inquiries of management and, when deemed necessary, a limited inspection of underlying documents, which is substantially less in scope than an audit.

The Company’s IACS is a system to monitor and operate those policies and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. Due to inherent limitations, IACS may not prevent or detect a material misstatement of the financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that management’s report on the operations of the IACS, referred to above, is not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the IACS standards established by IACSOC.

Our review is based on the Company’s IACS as of December 31, 2007, and we did not review management’s assessment of its IACS subsequent to December 31, 2007. This report has been prepared pursuant to the Acts on External Audit for Stock Companies in Korea and may not be appropriate for other purposes or for other users.

March 7, 2008

Notice to Readers

This report is annexed in relation to the audit of the financial statements as of December 31, 2007 and the review of management report on the assessment of the operations of IACS pursuant to Article 2-3 of the Act on External Audit for Stock Companies of the Republic of Korea.
