Report of Independent Accountants

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Kookmin Bank

 

We have reviewed the accompanying non-consolidated balance sheet of Kookmin Bank (“the Bank”) as of September 30, 2004, and the related non-consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, expressed in Korean won. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank’s management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these interim financial statements based on our review.

 

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the quarterly and semi-annual review standards established by the Securities and Futures Commission of the Republic of Korea. These standards require that we plan and perform our review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of the Bank’s personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus 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 non-consolidated interim 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.

 

We have audited the non-consolidated balance sheet of Kookmin Bank as of December 31, 2003 and the related non-consolidated statements of operations, appropriation of retained earnings and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. We expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements in our audit report dated March 3, 2004.

 

As discussed in Note 36 to the non-consolidated financial statements, the Bank restated its non-consolidated balance sheet as of December 31. 2003 and the related non-consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, presented herein for comparative purposes, as instructed by the Securities and Futures Commission of underestimate of other allowance by (Won) 213,157 million and overestimate of valuation loss using equity method by (Won)27,159 million. On the other hand, the financial statements for the year ended in December 31, 2003 in the audit report dated March 3, 2004, are no longer valid, as they were prior to restatement.

As discussed in Note 33 to the non-consolidated financial statements, on May 30, 2003, the Bank obtained approval from the Board of Directors to enter into a merger agreement with Kookmin Credit Card Co., Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), its majority-owned subsidiary. According to the resolution of the Board of Directors, the Bank merged with the Subsidiary on September 30, 2003. The merger was effected through an exchange of shares with the minority shareholders of the Subsidiary as of July 24, 2003, who each received 0.442983 share of the Bank’s common stock for each share of the Subsidiary.

 

As discussed in Note 20 to the non-consolidated financial statements, in accordance with the resolution of the Board of Directors on December 17, 2003, the Bank acquired 27,423,761 of its own shares previously owned by the Korean government at (Won)43,700 per share through public bidding and intends to sell these shares of treasury stock depending on certain market conditions. As of September 30, 2004, the Bank holds 8.90% of the total common stock issued as treasury stock.

 

As discussed in Note 4 to the non-consolidated financial statements, as a means to venture into the insurance business for diversification of revenues, the Bank invested (Won)30,246 million (including acquisition costs) on April 29, 2004, to acquire a 100% ownership of KB Life Insurance Co., Ltd., which was founded to acquire the assets and the liabilities of Hanil Life Insurance Co., Ltd.

 

As discussed in Note 16 to the non-consolidated financial statements, the Bank’s total exposure (including loans and securities) to LG Card Co., Ltd., which is under the joint control of financial institutions as it is currently experiencing a financial crisis, amounts to (Won)520,134 million as of September 30, 2004. In addition, the Bank holds securities issued by credit card companies and capital companies, which are experiencing liquidity problems, amounting to (Won)201,538 million as of September 30, 2004. The ultimate effect of these circumstances on the financial position of the Bank as of the balance sheet date cannot be presently determined, and accordingly, no adjustments related to such uncertainties have been recorded in the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements.

 

As discussed in Note 2, during the quarter ended September 30, 2004, the Bank changed its accounting on its sale of loans. Previously, the gain or loss on sale of written-off loans is computed by adjusting the loan’s related allowance. The gain or loss on sale of loans other than written-off loans is computed by comparing the book value at the date of sale against the proceeds of the sale. Currently, the gain or loss on sale of both kinds of loans is now computed by comparing the sale proceeds against its book value on the year end immediately preceding the date of sale. Due to this change, loss on sale of loans increased by (Won)864,445 million and gain on sale of loans and allowance for loan losses decreased by (Won)43,039 million and (Won)907,484 million, respectively, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004. The income statement for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, presented herein for comparative purposes, were restated to reflect the changes in calculation of gain or loss on sales of loans loss resulting in an increase in loss on sale of loans and gain on sale of loans by (Won)498,143 million and (Won)4,668 million, respectively, and decrease in allowance for loans losses by (Won)493,475 million. Such restatement has no effect on the current period’s net income and net assets.

Kookmin Bank

Notes to Non-Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2004 and 2003, and December 31, 2003

(Unaudited)

 

1. The Bank

 

Kookmin Bank (“the Bank”) was established in 1963 under the Citizens National Bank Act to provide and administer funds for financing the general public and small businesses. Pursuant to the repeal of the Citizens National Bank Act, effective January 5, 1995, the Bank has conducted its operations in accordance with the provisions of the General Banking Act.

 

The Bank merged with Korea Long Term Credit Bank (“KLB”) on December 31, 1998 and with Daegu, Busan, Jeonnam Kookmin Mutual Savings & Finance Co., Ltd. on August 22, 1999. Also, under the decision of the Financial Supervisory Commission in accordance with the Structural Improvement of the Financial Industry Act, the Bank purchased certain assets, including loans classified as normal or precautionary, and assumed most of the liabilities of Daedong Bank as of June 29, 1998. Also, the Bank completed the legal consolidation with Housing and Commercial Bank (“H&CB”) as of October 31, 2001 (Note 32) and merged with Kookmin Credit Card Co., Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), its majority-owned subsidiary, on September 30, 2003 (Note 33).

 

The Bank has its shares listed on the Korea Stock Exchange since September 1994. As a result of the business combination with H&CB, the former shareholders of the Bank and H&CB received new common shares of the Bank on the basis of a pre-determined ratio. The new common shares of the Bank were relisted on the Korea Stock Exchange on November 9, 2001. As of September 30, 2004, the Bank’s paid-in capital amounts to (Won)1,681,896 million and its 46,744,257 shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange as American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”).

 

The Bank engages in the banking and trust businesses according to the provisions of the General Banking Act and the Trust Business Act, and operates through 1,119 domestic branches and offices (excluding automated teller machines) and three overseas branches as of September 30, 2004.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The significant accounting policies followed by the Bank in the preparation of its non-consolidated financial statements are summarized below.

 

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

 

The Bank 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 Bank 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 from the Korean language non-consolidated financial statements. Certain information attached to 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 non-consolidated financial statements.

 

Application of the Statements of Korean Financial Accounting Standards

 

The Bank has adopted Statements of Korean Financial Accounting Standards (“SKFAS”) Nos. 1~10, 12 and 13 (SKFAS Nos.10, 12 and 13 have been effective as of January 1, 2004) in the preparation of its financial statements. Except for the adoption of these SKFAS, the same accounting policies are applied for the financial statements as of and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 and as of and for the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of the non-consolidated 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 Bank may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from those estimates.

(Unaudited)

 

Recognition of Interest Income

 

The Bank recognizes interest income on loans and debt securities on an accrual basis. However, interest income on delinquent and dishonored loans and debt securities, other than those collateralized with security deposits or guaranteed by financial institutions, is recognized on a cash basis. As of September 30, 2004, the Bank has non-accrual loans and securities of (Won)9,798,553 million and (Won)553,114 million, respectively, with related foregone interest of (Won)539,230 million and (Won)188,915 million, respectively.

 

Securities

 

Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of generating profits on short-term differences in price, and which are actively and frequently bought and sold, are classified as trading securities. Debt securities with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity, and which the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities. Investments neither classified as trading securities nor held-to-maturity securities are classified as available-for-sale securities.

 

Securities are recognized initially at their fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. The Bank uses the moving average method and specific identification method for determining the carrying value of equity securities and debt securities, respectively.

 

Trading and available-for-sale debt securities are carried at fair value using the average of quoted prices provided by bond pricing service institutions. Held-to-maturity debt securities are carried at amortized cost.

 

Marketable equity securities are carried at market prices and beneficiary certificates are carried at quoted prices provided by the beneficiary certificate dealers. However, non-marketable equity securities are carried at fair value only if the fair value is reasonably measurable. Otherwise, they are carried at cost.

 

Unrealized holding gains or losses on trading securities are charged to current operations and those resulting from available-for-sale securities are recorded as capital adjustments. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized over the maturity period of the debt securities using the effective interest method. Impairment losses are recognized in the current operations when there is evidence of impairment and recoverable amounts of available-for-sale securities or held-to-maturity securities are less than either the acquisition cost of equity securities or the amortized cost of debt securities. Unrealized holding gains or losses on available-for-sale or held-to-maturity securities that had not been recognized through income are realized when the related securities are disposed of.

 

The wholly owned beneficiary certificates are each classified based on the Bank’s intention for acquiring the certificates. The fund assets of these wholly owned beneficiary certificates are comprised of deposits, call loans and securities, and the fund income is comprised of interest income, realized gains and losses, and valuation gains and losses. The Bank recorded all gains and losses from these wholly owned beneficiary certificates as income from beneficiary certificates. Accounting policies of these funds that are different from those of the Bank include application of the moving average method for determining the cost of debt securities and amortization of discounts/premiums on debt securities using the straight line method.

Investments in Associates

 

Investments in associates, over which the Bank exercises significant control or influence, are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the Bank records changes in its proportionate ownership of the associate in the 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 investment in associate.

 

The Bank discontinues the equity method of accounting for investments in associates when the Bank’s share of accumulated losses of the associates equals the costs of the investments and until the subsequent cumulative changes in its proportionate net income of the associate equal its cumulative proportionate net losses not recognized during the periods when the equity method was suspended.

 

Differences between the initial purchase price and the Bank’s initial proportionate ownership of the net book value of the associate are amortized or accreted using an appropriate method and the resulting amortization is charged to current operations.

 

Gains and losses recorded by the Bank from inter-company transactions with associates are fully eliminated. Gains and losses recorded by the associates from these transactions are proportionately eliminated, based on the Bank’s percentage of ownership.

 

Deferred Loan Origination Fees and Costs

 

The Bank defers loan origination fees associated with originating loans and loan origination costs that have future economic benefits. Loan balances are reported net of these loan origination fees and costs. The deferred loan origination fees and costs are amortized using the effective interest method with the amortization recognized as adjustments to other interest income.

 

Allowances for Loan Losses

 

The Bank applies its internal credit rating system, the Forward Looking Criteria (“FLC”), to corporate loans in order to classify the borrowers and to determine the allowances for loan losses. The credit rating criteria are divided into 12 categories (AAA, AA, A, BBB, BB, BB-, B, B-, CCC, CC, C, D) with consideration of the credit risk of corporate borrowers, which is evaluated based on financial and non-financial risks, and the loan type, collateral and/or guarantees.

 

Allowances are determined by applying at minimum the following rates to the outstanding balances under each credit risk classification:

 

Credit Risk Classification		Credit Ratings		Allowance Rates
Normal		AAA~B		0.50	%
Precautionary		B-~CCC		2.00	%
Sub-standard		CC		20.00	%
Doubtful		C		50.00	%
Estimated loss		D		100.00	%

(Unaudited)

 

However, the Bank classifies small-sized corporate loans, consumer loans, and credit card loans by considering the recoverable amounts of loans including delinquencies, bankruptcies and collateral value. The rates used for determining the allowances for losses from corporate loans, consumer loans and credit card loans are as follows:

 

		Allowance Rates
Credit Risk Classification		Small-sized corporate			Consumer			Credit Card
Normal		0.50	%		0.75	%		1.00	%
Precautionary		2.00	%		8.00	%		12.00	%
Sub-standard		20.00	%		20.00	%		20.00	%
Doubtful		50.00	%		55.00	%		60.00	%
Estimated loss		100.00	%		100.00	%		100.00	%

 

The Bank applies the credit risk classification used for loans to outstanding guarantees and acceptances, and provides allowances for losses of 20%, 50% and 100% of the outstanding guarantees and acceptances classified as sub-standard, doubtful, and estimated loss, respectively.

 

Troubled Debt Structuring

 

The equity interest in the debtors, net of real estates and/or other assets received as full or partial satisfaction of the Bank’s loans, collected through reorganization proceedings, court mediation, or debt restructuring agreements of parties concerned, are recorded at their fair value at the time of the restructuring. In cases where the fair value of the assets received are less than the book value of the loan (book value before allowances), the Bank offsets the book value against allowances for loans first and then recognizes provisions for loans. Impairment losses for loans, that were restructured in a troubled debt restructuring involving a modification of terms, are computed by getting the difference between the present value of future cash flows under debt restructuring agreements discounted at effective interest rates at the time when loans are originated, and the book value before allowances for loans. If the amount of allowances already established is less than the impairment losses under the workout plans, the Bank establishes additional allowances for the difference. Otherwise, the Bank reverses the allowances for loan losses.

 

Before the adoption of SKFAS No. 13, Troubled Debt Structuring, the difference between the nominal value and the present value of loan under troubled debt structuring agreements was recorded as present value discounts and was presented separately as a deduction from the loan nominal value. However, in accordance with the Bank’s adoption of SKFAS No. 13, unamortized present value discounts as of the beginning of the current period are classified as allowances for loan losses.

 

Fixed Assets and Related Depreciation

 

Tangible assets are recorded at cost, except for upward revaluation of certain assets in accordance with the Korean Asset Revaluation Law. Depreciation is calculated based on the estimated average useful lives of the assets and the accumulated depreciation is presented as a contra account of tangible assets in the financial statements. In addition, impairment loss is recognized based on the difference between the recoverable amount and the book value. The accumulated impairment loss is presented as a contra account of tangible assets in the financial statements.

The estimated useful lives and depreciation methods of the tangible assets are as follows:

 

Tangible Assets		Depreciation Method		Estimated Useful Life
Buildings and structures		Straight-line		40 years
Leasehold improvements		Declining balance		4-5 years
Equipment and vehicles		Declining balance		4-5 years

 

Expenditures that enhance the value or extend the useful life of the related assets are capitalized as additions to tangible assets. Routine maintenance and repairs are recognized as expenses when incurred.

 

Foreclosed assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan redemption are stated at cost and are not depreciated. A valuation allowance is recorded when the latest bidding price at a public auction is below the book value, and is presented as a contra account of foreclosed assets in the financial statements.

 

Intangible assets are amortized based on the following estimated average useful lives and are presented in the financial statements net of accumulated amortization:

 

Intangible assets		Amortization Method		Estimated Useful Life
Goodwill		Straight-line		9 years
Development costs		Straight-line		5 years
Trademarks		Straight-line		1-10 years
Others		Straight-line		5-30 years

 

The Bank estimates the useful life of endowment assets, that are beneficial upon usage and are classified under other intangible assets, to be 30 years based on the term of the contract. The Bank records goodwill as a result of the merger with H&CB as the cost of the merger exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired.

 

Development costs directly related to new technology or new products, including costs related to software development, are capitalized as intangible assets to the extent that the estimated future benefits are probable.

 

The Bank adjusts the book value of a fixed asset to its recoverable amount and recognizes the difference as an impairment loss when the recoverable amount is significantly below the book value due to obsolescence or decline in market value. The subsequent increase in recoverable amount in excess of the impaired book value is recognized, to the extent of the original book value before impairment, as a reversal of fixed asset impairment losses.

 

Stock Issuance Costs and Debenture Issuance Costs

 

Stock issuance costs are deducted from paid-in capital in excess of par value. Debenture issuance costs are recorded as discounts on debentures and amortized over the maturity period of the debentures using the effective interest method.

 

Accrued Retirement Benefits

 

Employees and directors with at least one year of service and temporary employees with at least a one-year contract, as of September 30, 2004, are entitled to receive a lump-sum payment upon termination of their employment with the Bank, based on their length of service and rate of pay at the time of termination.

 

Additionally, the Bank records the contributions to pension funds, which grant the payment rights to its employees, as contra accounts of accrued retirement benefits.

Deferred Income Taxes

 

The Bank records the future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial and tax bases of assets and liabilities as deferred income tax assets or liabilities. The tax effects of temporary differences arising from the cumulative effects of accounting changes are adjusted in retained earnings.

 

Bonds under Repurchase/Resale Agreements

 

Securities bought under resale agreements are recorded under loans as bonds purchased under resale agreements. Securities sold under repurchase agreements are recorded under borrowings as bonds sold under repurchase agreements. Interest from bonds purchased under resale agreements and bonds sold under repurchase agreements are recognized as interest income on loans and interest expense on borrowings, respectively.

 

Derivative Instruments

 

Derivative instruments for trading or hedging purpose are recorded at fair value and the resulting unrealized gains and losses are recognized in the current operations, except for the effective portion of derivative transactions entered into for the purpose of cash-flow hedges, which is recorded as an adjustment to shareholders’ equity.

 

Fair value hedge accounting is applied to a derivative instrument with the purpose of hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or a firm commitment that is attributable to a particular risk. The gain or loss, both on the hedging derivative instrument and on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, is reflected in the current operations.

 

Cash flow hedge accounting is applied to a derivative instrument with the purpose of 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 the gain or loss on a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge is recorded as a capital adjustment and the ineffective portion is recognized in the current operations. The effective portion of the gain or loss recorded as a capital adjustment is reclassified to current operations 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 recognized as a capital adjustment is added to or deducted from the asset or the liability.

 

Stock Options

 

Compensation costs for stock options granted to employees and executives are recognized using the fair value method. Under the fair value method, compensation costs for stock option plans are determined using an option-pricing model and are recognized over the vesting period (Note 21).

 

National Housing Fund

 

The Bank, as designated by the Korean Government under the Housing Construction Promotion Law, manages the sources and uses of funds of the National Housing Fund (the “NHF”) and records the related NHF account in other liabilities. In addition, the Bank pays NHF the interest, which is computed by multiplying the average balance of the NHF account by the passbook deposit interest rate.

 

Gains and Losses on Trust Management

 

The Bank’s trust accounts (“the Trust Accounts”) recognize as an expense the trust commissions paid to the banking accounts, which is equivalent to the total trust revenue less total trust expenses and trustee benefits, including the guaranteed principal and minimum rate of return. The Bank recognizes these trust commissions as a gain on trust management in other operating income. The trust fees on money trusts consist of base fees of 0.5 ~ 2.0 % (depending on trust fund types) and special fees applied to the invested capital.

 

Under the Trust Business Act, reserves for future losses are set up in the trust accounts for losses related to those trust funds with a guarantee of the principal or of a certain minimum rate of return. The reserves are used to provide for the losses on such trust funds and, if the losses incurred are in excess of the reserves for future losses, the excess losses are compensated by the Bank. Accordingly, the banking accounts recognize the compensation paid as a loss on trust management in other operating expenses and the trust accounts recognize the corresponding compensation as compensation from banking accounts. There were no compensations paid for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004.

Foreign Currency Translation

 

All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Korean Won at the rates in effect as of the balance sheet dates (September 30, 2004: (Won)1,147.9:US$1, December 31, 2003: (Won)1,197.8:US$1), and resulting translation gains and losses are recognized in the current period.

 

Accounting records of the overseas branches are maintained in the foreign currency prevailing in their respective countries. For the purpose of presentation in the accompanying financial statements, the financial statements of the branches have been translated into Korean Won, using exchange rates published by Seoul Money Brokerage Services, Ltd. as of the balance sheet dates.

 

Statement of Cash Flows

 

In the preparation of the statement of cash flows, the Bank has presented net amounts of cash inflows and cash outflows for items where the turnover is quick and the amounts are large.

 

Restatement of Prior Period Financial Statements

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2004, the Bank changed its accounting on its sale of loans. Previously, the gain or loss on sale of written-off loans is computed by adjusting the loan’s related allowance. The gain or loss on sale of loans other than written-loans is computed by comparing the book value at the date of sale against the proceeds of the sale. Currently, the gain or loss on sale of both kinds of loans is now computed by comparing the sale proceeds against its book value on the year end immediately preceding the date of sale. Due to this change, loss on sale of loans increased by (Won)864,445 million and gain on sale of loans and allowance for loan losses decreased by (Won)43,039 million and (Won)907,484 million, respectively, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004. The income statement for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, presented herein for comparative purposes, were restated to reflect the changes in calculation of gain or loss on sales of loans loss resulting in an increase in loss on sale of loans and gain on sale of loans by (Won)498,143 million and (Won)4,668 million, respectively, and decrease in allowance for loans losses by (Won)493,475 million. Such restatement has no effect on the current period’s net income and net assets.

 

During the current period, the Bank reclassified the subordinated retained interests earned from securitization transactions from available-for-sale securities to loans. Such reclassification has no effect on the current period’s net income and net assets. The prior period financial statements presented herein for comparative purposes were also reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation.

 

As explained in Note 36, the Bank restated its financial statements as of September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2003 and for nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 and the year ended December 31, 2003 to comply with SFC’s instructions.

As a means to venture into the insurance business for diversification of revenues, the Bank invested (Won)30,246 million (including acquisition costs) on April 29, 2004, to acquire a 100% ownership of KB Life Insurance Co., Ltd., which was founded to acquire the assets and the liabilities of Hanil Life Insurance Co., Ltd.

15. Derivatives

 

The Bank’s derivative instruments are divided into hedge derivatives and trading derivatives, based on the nature of the transaction. The Bank enters into hedge transactions mainly for purposes of hedging fair value risks related to its assets and liabilities. Some hedging transactions do not qualify for hedge accounting and are thus accounted for as trading derivatives. These transactions include the hedge relationships where the hedged item is an asset or liability that is re-measured with the changes in fair value attributable to the hedged risk reported in the current operations, or where the hedged item cannot be specifically identified

 

Trading derivatives include future contracts, forward contracts, swaps, and options entered into by the Bank to meet the financing needs of its customers and to gain profit from arbitrage transactions between customers and other banks. The Bank also uses derivative instruments in managing its own trading and asset-liability management exposures to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange risks.

 

Hedge derivatives mainly consist of interest rate swaps to hedge the fair value changes of debentures arising from the interest rate fluctuations.

1	The Bank partially won the case.

 

The Bank, under the Mutual Savings & Finance Company Act, is liable for the payment of the deposits of Orange Mutual Savings & Finance Co., Ltd. (previously Kookmin Mutual Savings & Finance Co., Ltd.) and Hansol Mutual Savings & Finance Co., Ltd. (previously, Bukook Mutual Savings & Finance Co., Ltd.), previously the Bank’s subsidiaries but were sold in 1999, if they declare bankruptcy within three years of sale. Orange Mutual Savings & Finance Co., Ltd. declared bankruptcy in 2001 and is currently undergoing bankruptcy procedures due to the disapproval of its business by the Financial Supervisory Commission. Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation (KDIC) has paid for the deposit money subject to the Depositor Protection Act. As of September 30, 2004, despite the fact that Resolution and Finance Corp., a subsidiary of KDIC, has filed a lawsuit against the Bank for the recovery of the repayment, such lawsuit is not expected to cause losses that would materially affect the Bank’s financial position.

36. Results of Securities and Futures Commission (SFC)’s investigation and Restatement of prior periods’ financial statements

 

On of August 25, 2004, the Securities and Futures Commission’s (‘SFC’) announced the results of the investigation on Kookmin Bank’s accounting treatments related to acquisition of Kookmin Credit Card and other transactions.

 

(1) Results of Securities and Futures Commission’s investigation

 

Accounting treatment in relation to the acquisition of Kookmin Credit Card (‘KCC’)

 

As discussed earlier, the Bank merged with KCC in September 2003. Relative to the merger, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, KCC failed to recognize an allowance on loan loss of (Won)1,266,405 million, which included other allowances of (Won)15,442 million, resulting in the overstatement of the its net income. Consequently, the Bank recognized an income from equity investments of (Won)211,202 million in proportion to its 74.2692% interest in KCC which recorded a net income of (Won)284,373 million for the same period. Regarding KCC’s under-recording of the allowance of loan loss of (Won)1,266,405 million and the additional allowance on loan losses due to the difference in accounting treatments on the Bank’s consolidated financial statements of (Won)389,980 million, both of which total (Won)1,656,385 million, these were subsequently recorded by the Bank as allowance on loan loss due to merger of (Won)1,652,264 million and impairment loss on investments available-for-sale of (Won)4,121 million. To comply with the SFC’s instructions, the Bank recorded equity loss on investments of (Won)1,018,982 million, proportionate to its 74.2692% interest in the sum of (Won)1,372,012, which is the total of KCC’s net loss of (Won)982,032 million and the additional allowance on loan loss due to merger of (Won)389,980 million; and deducted the minority interest of (Won)309,559 million from additional paid in capital.

 

Accounting treatment in relation to asset securitization

 

The Bank is currently offering credit lines to the KCC 16th Special Purpose Co., Ltd (‘SPC’) and FN Star 3rd SPC amounting to (Won)757,000 million (transferred value of (Won)1,243,000 million, transfer gain of (Won)488,000 million). However, the recovery rate of the assets transferred to the SPCs decreased dramatically between September 2003 and January 2004, before actual issuance of year-end financial status. As the present value of the underlying assets dropped below the SPCs liability amount, there is a high probability that the Bank would be liable to cover the difference up to the credit line limit. Even though the Bank could have reflected the probable contingency loss amount by estimating future cash flows based on the recovery rates available to the latest month and the fair valuation models used at the point of asset securitization, the Bank appropriated only (Won)133,376 million for the estimable contingency loss of (Won)346,533 million, underestimating other allowances (allowance for acceptances and guarantees outstanding) by (Won)213,157 million and overestimating net assets (underestimating net income) by the same amount.

 

Accounting treatment in relation to Special Purpose Co., Ltd. currency swap

 

In relation to the early redemption of asset-backed securities (‘ABS’) by KCC 10th Special Purpose Co., Ltd on September 18, 2003, a settlement loss of (Won)27,159 million was paid to ING Bank due to a decline in currency swap interest rate. Therefore, since KCC, the holder of the ABS, guaranteed the payment of the loss, KCC should have recognized the settlement payment as loss and the Bank should have recognized its equity share portion of (Won)20,171 million and the excess amount over minority interest of (Won)6,988 million as valuation loss using equity method. However, KCC recognized the swap settlement payment as asset, ABS advance payment, and the Bank accounted for the amount as offset liabilities, agency fee. As a result, the Bank underestimated the liability by (Won)27,159 million and overestimated net assets by the same amount.

 

(2) Restatement of Prior periods’ financial statements

 

To comply with SFC’s instructions, the Bank restated its financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2003 regarding the understatement of other allowance and overstatement of valuation loss using equity method for the amount of (Won)213,157million and (Won)27,159 million, respectively, by reversing the underestimation of other allowance by (Won)213,157million in income statement for the year ended in December 31, 2003 and overestimation of valuation loss using equity method by (Won)27,159 million in income statement for the nine-month period ended in September 30, 2003. Therefore, the net income and retained earning before appropriation in the financial statements for the year ended in December 31, 2003 in the audit report dated March 3, 2004, were understated by (Won)177,008 million due to tax effect of the understatement of other allowance by (Won)213,157 million and the overstatement of valuation loss using equity method by (Won)27,159 million.
