Summary of 2007 Third Quarter Business Report

On November 14, 2007, Kookmin Bank filed its business report for the third quarter of 2007 (the “Business Report”) with the Financial Supervisory Commission of Korea and the Korea Exchange. This is a summary of the Business Report translated into English.

In effect from January 1, 2007, we have adopted SKAS1 No. 21 (“Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements I”) and SKAS No. 24 (“Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements II (Financial Industry)”), pursuant to which the presentation and order of certain line items, including gain/loss on disposal of available-for-sale securities, have been reclassified from non-operating income to operating income. We have revised our financial statements for prior periods to reflect this change.

Financial information contained in this summary (and in the attached review report) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Korea, which differ in certain important respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

All references to “Kookmin Bank” mean Kookmin Bank on a non-consolidated basis, and all references to “we”, “us” or the “Bank” mean Kookmin Bank and, as the context may require, its subsidiaries. In addition, all references to “Won” in this document are to the currency of the Republic of Korea.

Exercise price = (Base Price) Won x (1 + the increase rate of KOSPI Banking Industry Index x 0.4).

(Base Price) Won is the arithmetic mean of the following three numbers: the sum of the daily closing price multiplied by the daily trading volume divided by the daily trading volume for the common shares during each of the following periods: (i) two months prior to, but excluding, the grant date; (ii) one month prior to, but excluding, the grant date; and (iii) one week prior to, but excluding, the grant date.

The increase rate of KOSPI Banking Industry Index = (KOSPI Banking Industry Index as of the starting date of exercise period—KOSPI Banking Industry Index as of the grant date) / KOSPI Banking Industry Index as of the grant date.

NON-CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR

THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 AND 2006

AND INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REVIEW REPORT


Table of Contents

Exhibit 99.1

Independent Accountants’ Review Report

English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Korean

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Kookmin Bank:

We have reviewed the accompanying non-consolidated balance sheet of the Bank accounts of Kookmin Bank (the “Bank”) as of September 30, 2007, and the related non-consolidated statements of income, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, all expressed in Korean Won. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank’s management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these financial statements based on our reviews.

We conducted our review 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 the Bank’s 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 review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying financial statements are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea, the non-consolidated balance sheet of the Bank as of December 31, 2006, 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 March 2, 2007, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those non-consolidated financial statements. The accompanying non-consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006, which is comparatively presented, does not differ in material respects from such audited non-consolidated balance sheet.


Table of Contents

Accounting principles and review standards and their application in practice vary among countries. The accompanying financial statements are not intended to present the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity 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.

November 2, 2007

Notice to Readers

This report is effective as of November 2, 2007, the accountants’ review report date. Certain subsequent events or circumstances may have occurred between the accountants’ review report date and the time the accountants’ review report is read. Such events or circumstances could significantly affect the accompanying financial statements and may result in modifications to the accountants’ review report.

NOTES TO NON-CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 AND 2006

1. GENERAL:

Kookmin Bank (the “Bank”) was established in 1963 under the Citizens National Bank Act to provide and administer funds for financing to 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 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 on June 29, 1998. Also, the Bank completed the legal consolidation with Housing and Commercial Bank (“H&CB”) on October 31, 2001 and merged with Kookmin Credit Card Co., Ltd., a majority-owned subsidiary, on September 30, 2003.

The Bank’s shares have been 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 listed on the Korea Stock Exchange on November 9, 2001. In addition, the Bank listed its American Depository Shares (“ADS”) on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) as of November 1, 2001 following the consolidation with H&CB. H&CB listed its ADS on the NYSE as of October 3, 2000 prior to the business combination. As of September 30, 2007, the Bank’s paid-in capital is (Won)1,681,896 million.

The Bank is engaged in the banking, trust, credit card and other relevant businesses according to the provisions of the General Banking Act, Trust Business Act, and Specialized Credit Financial Business Act, respectively. The Bank operates through 1,172 domestic branches and offices (excluding 242 automated teller machine stations) and four overseas branches (excluding two subsidiaries and two offices) as of September 30, 2007.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basis of Non-consolidated Financial Statement Presentation

The Bank maintains its official accounting records in Korean Won and prepares statutory non-consolidated financial statements in the Korean language (Hangul) in conformity with the accounting principles and banking accounting standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. Certain accounting principles and banking accounting standards 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 and banking accounting practices 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 Bank’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows, is not presented in the accompanying financial statements.

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


Table of Contents

Interest Income Recognition

The Bank applies the accrual basis in recognizing interest income related to deposits, loans and securities, except for non-secured uncollectible receivables. Interest on loans, whose principal or interest is past due at the balance sheet date, is generally not accrued, with the exception of interest on certain loans secured by guarantee of governments or government agencies, or collateralized by bank deposits. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, previously accrued interest is generally reversed and deducted from current interest income; and future interest income is recognized on the cash basis in accordance with the banking industry accounting standards. As of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the principal amount of loans and securities of which the accrued interest income was not recorded in the accompanying financial statements based on the above criteria amounted to (Won)5,158,795 million and (Won)6,031,676 million, respectively, and the related accrued interest income not recognized amounted to (Won)599,979 million and (Won)525,475 million, respectively.

Classification of Securities

At acquisition, the Bank classifies securities into one of the following categories: trading, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity and securities accounted for using the equity method, depending on marketability, purpose of acquisition and ability to hold. Debt and equity securities that are bought and held for the purpose of selling them in the near term and actively traded are classified as trading securities. Debt securities with fixed and determinable payments and fixed maturity that the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities. Securities that should be accounted for under the equity method are classified as securities accounted for using the equity method. Debt and equity securities not classified as above are categorized as available-for-sale securities.

If the objective and ability to hold securities of the Bank 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 Bank sells held-to-maturity securities or exercises early redemption right of securities to issuer in the current year or the proceeding two years, and if it reclassifies held-to-maturity securities to available-for-sale securities, all debt securities that are owned or purchased cannot be classified as held-to-maturity securities. On the other hand, trading securities cannot be recategorized to available-for-sale securities or held-to-maturity securities and vice versa. Nevertheless, trading securities are reclassified to available-for-sale securities only when the trading securities lose their marketability.

Valuation of Securities

 

(1) Valuation of Trading Securities

Trading equity and debt securities are initially recognized at acquisition cost plus incidental expenses determined by the individual moving average method (the specified identification method for debt securities). When the face value of trading debt securities differs from their acquisition cost, the effective interest method is applied to amortize the difference over the remaining term of the securities. After initial recognition, if the fair value of trading securities differs from the book value, trading securities are stated at fair value and the resulting valuation gain or loss is included in current operations.

 

(2) Valuation of Available-for-sale Securities

Available-for-sale securities are initially recognized at acquisition cost plus incidental expenses, determined by the individual moving average method (the specified identification method for debt securities). The effective interest method is applied to amortize the difference between the face value and the acquisition cost over the remaining term of the debt security. After initial recognition, available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value, with the net unrealized gain or loss presented as gain or loss on valuation of available-for-sale securities in accumulated other comprehensive income, which is charged to current operations in a lump sum at the time of disposal or impairment recognition. Non-marketable equity securities are stated at acquisition cost on the financial statements if the fair value of the securities is not reliably determinable.

Table of Contents

If the fair value of equity securities (net asset fair value in case of non-marketable equity securities stated at acquisition cost) is below the acquisition cost and the pervasive evidence of impairment exists, the carrying value is adjusted to fair value and the resulting valuation loss is charged to current operations. If the collectible value of debt securities is below the amortized cost and the pervasive evidence of impairment exists, the carrying value is adjusted to collectible value and the resulting valuation loss is charged to current operations. With respect to impaired securities, any unrealized valuation gain or loss of securities previously included in the accumulated other comprehensive income is reversed.

 

(3) Valuation of Held-to-maturity Securities

Held-to-maturity securities are stated at acquisition cost plus incidental expenses, determined by the specific identification method. When the face value of held-to-maturity securities differs from its acquisition cost, the effective interest method is applied to amortize the difference over the remaining term of the securities. If collectible value is below the amortized cost and the pervasive evidence of impairment exists, the carrying value is adjusted to collectible value and the resulting valuation loss is charged to current operations.

 

(4) Valuation of Securities Accounted for using the Equity Method

Equity securities held for investment in companies in which the Bank is able to exercise significant influence over the investees (in accordance with the Banking Act, if the Bank holds more than 15 percent of the total issued shares, the Bank is considered being able to exercise significant influence) are accounted for using the equity method. The Bank’s share in net income or net loss of investees is included in current operations. Changes in the retained earnings of investee are reflected in the retained earnings. Changes in the capital surplus, capital adjustments or accumulated other comprehensive income of investee are reflected as gain or loss on valuation of securities accounted for using the equity method in accumulated other comprehensive income.

When the book value of equity securities accounted for using the equity method is less than zero due to the cumulative losses of the investees, the Bank discontinues applying the equity method and does not provide for additional losses. If the investee subsequently reports net income, the Bank resumes applying the equity method only after its share of that net income equals the share of net losses not recognized during the period that the equity method was suspended.

In addition, any gain or loss from the disposal of equity securities of certain consolidated subsidiaries is accounted for as accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from applying the equity method in the balance sheets if the subsidiaries are still consolidated even after the Bank disposes of a portion of equity securities.

 

(5) Reversal of Impairment Loss on Available-for-sale Securities and Held-to-maturity Securities

If the reasons for impairment losses on available-for-sale securities no longer exist, the recovery is recorded in current operations under operating revenue up to amount of the previously recognized impairment loss as reversal of impairment loss on available-for-sale securities and any excess is included in accumulated other comprehensive income as gain on valuation of available-for-sale securities. However, if the increases in the fair value of the impaired securities are not regarded as the recovery of the impairment, the increases in the fair value are recorded as gain on valuation of available-for-sale securities in accumulated other comprehensive income. For non-marketable equity securities, which were impaired based on the net asset fair value, the recovery is recorded up to their acquisition cost.

For held-to-maturity securities, the recovery is recorded in current operations under operating revenue within the amount of amortized cost that would have been recorded according to the original schedule if the impairment losses had not been recognized as reversal of impairment loss on held-to-maturity securities.

Table of Contents
(6) Reclassification of Securities

When held-to-maturity securities are reclassified to available-for-sale securities, those securities are accounted for at fair value on the reclassification date and the difference between the fair value and book value is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income as gain or loss on valuation of available-for-sale securities. When available-for-sale securities are reclassified to held-to-maturity securities, gain or loss on valuation of available-for-sale securities, which had been recorded until the reclassification date, continue to be included in accumulated other comprehensive income and be amortized using the effective interest rate method and the amortized amount is charged to interest income until maturity. The difference between the fair value at the reclassification date and face value of the reclassified securities to held-to-maturity securities is amortized using effective interest rate method and the amortized amount is charged to interest income. In addition, when certain trading securities lose their marketability, such securities are reclassified as available-for-sale securities at fair market value as of reclassification date.

Transfer of Securities

When the realization, expiration or sale of the right to obtain the economic benefits arises and the control of securities is lost from the sale of the securities, the unrealized valuation gain or loss of securities included in the accumulated other comprehensive income is added to or deducted from the gain or loss on disposal of securities. The gain or loss is the difference between the net proceeds receivable or received and its carrying value. When securities are transferred without losing control of the securities, the transaction is recorded as secured borrowing transaction.

Allowance for Possible Losses on Credits

The Supervisory Regulation of Banking Business (the “Supervisory Regulation”) legislated by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) requires the Bank to classify all credits into five categories as normal, precautionary, substandard, doubtful, or estimated loss based on borrowers’ repayment capability and historical financial transaction records. The Supervisory Regulation also requires the Bank to provide the minimum rate of loss provision for each category balance using the prescribed minimum percentages as described below.

As required by the Supervisory Regulation, the Bank classifies corporate credits (loans, confirmed acceptances and guarantees) based on borrowers’ capability to repay in consideration of borrowers’ business operation, financial position and future cash flows (Forward Looking Criteria) as well as past due period and status of any bankruptcy proceedings (Historical Repayment Criteria). However, credits to small companies and to households are classified not by evaluating the debt repayment capability of a borrower or customer but by past due period and status of bankruptcy proceedings. The Bank generally classifies all credits to a single borrower in the same category of classification but credits guaranteed or collateralized by bank deposits, real estate or other assets may be classified differently based on the guarantor’s capability to service such guarantee or based on the value of collateral securing such credits.

Based on the Bank’s corporate credit evaluation model, credits to a borrower are classified into 17 grades from AAA to D (AAA, AA+, AA, A, BBB+, BBB, BBB-, BB+, BB, BB-, B+, B, B-, CCC, CC, C and D). Credits of grades of AAA to B are classified as normal, credits of grade B - to CCC as precautionary, credits of grade CC as substandard, credits of grade C as doubtful and credits of grade D as estimated loss. Credits are finally classified reflecting past due period and bankruptcy considerations. An allowance is then calculated on the category balances using the prescribed percentages of 0.7 ~ 6.9 percent for normal, 7 ~ 19.9 percent for precautionary, 20 ~ 49.9 percent for substandard, 50 ~ 99.9 percent for doubtful and 100 percent for estimated loss. However, the Bank does not provide allowances for call loans, bonds bought under resale agreements and inter-bank loans that are classified as normal, as it is not required by the Accounting Standards for the Banking Industry.

In addition, as required by the Supervisory Regulation, based on the classification of household loans and credit card receivables by past due period and status of bankruptcy proceedings, allowance for household loans and credit card receivables are calculated on the category balances using the prescribed percentages of 1 ~ 9.9 percent and 1.5 ~ 14.9 percent for normal, 10 ~19.9 percent and 15 ~ 19.9 percent for precautionary, 20 ~ 54.9 and 20 ~ 59.9 percent for substandard, 55 ~ 99.9 percent and 60 ~ 99.9 percent for doubtful, and 100 percent for estimated loss.

Table of Contents

Pursuant to the Supervisory Regulation of Banking Business, the Bank provides allowance for possible losses on confirmed acceptances and guarantees, unconfirmed acceptances and guarantees, and notes endorsed based on the credit classification, minimum rate of loss provision prescribed by the Financial Supervisory Service and the cash conversion factor. In addition, the Bank provides other allowances for the unused credit limit of credit card and unused credit line of consumer and corporate loans based on the cash conversion factor and minimum rate of loss provision prescribed by the Financial Supervisory Service.

In addition, when an allowance for possible loan losses required by the Supervisory Regulation is less than the amount calculated based on the historical loss rate, which is estimated through objective and reasonable method in accordance with the accounting principle in the Republic of Korea, historical loss rate is reflected in the provision for possible loan losses.

The method and data used for determining the allowances for loan losses based on historical loss rate by the Bank’s lending portfolios are determined as follows:

 

Lending portfolios

  

Methodology

  

Period of historical

loss rate

  

Period of

recovery ratio

Impaired corporate loans    DCF & Migration    N/A    N/A
Non-impaired corporate loans    Migration analysis    1 year    5 years
Consumer loans    Migration analysis    1 year    5 years
Credit card loans    Roll-rate analysis    1 year    5 years

Based on the loan portfolios’ nature, lending period, recovery period and other economic factors, the Bank determines the appropriate data period to be used in assessing its historical loss rate and recovery ratio.

Restructuring of Loans

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, is recorded at 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 first the book value against allowances for loan losses and then recognizes provisions for loan losses. Impairment losses for loans that were restructured in a troubled debt restructuring involving a modification of terms are computed by 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 loan losses. If the amount of allowances already established is less than the impairment losses, the Bank establishes additional allowances for the difference. Otherwise, the Bank reverses the allowances for loan losses.

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.

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 the present value of expected future cash flows, and the gain or loss on valuation of related receivables and payables is 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 and credited or charged to interest income or interest expense.

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 Bank purchases or sells securities under such agreements.

Tangible Assets and Related Depreciation

Tangible assets are recorded at cost or production cost including incidental expenses. Routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that result in the enhancement of the value or the extension of the useful lives of the facilities involved are capitalized as additions to tangible assets.

Depreciation is computed by using the declining-balance method (straight-line method for building and structures) based on the estimated useful lives of the assets 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

Intangible Assets and Related Amortization

Intangible assets included in other assets are recorded at the production costs or purchase costs plus incidental expenses less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of the related assets or the activity method as follows:

 

Intangible assets

  

Depreciation method

  

Estimated useful life

Goodwill

   Straight-line    9 years

Trademarks

   Straight-line    5-20 years

Others

   Straight-line    3-30 years

The Bank recorded 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. Expenditures incurred in conjunction with the development of new products or technology and others, in which the elements of costs can be individually identified and future economic benefits are probably exerted, are capitalized as development costs. The Bank estimates the useful lives of endowment assets that are beneficial upon usage based on the term of the contract and are classified under other intangible assets.

Valuation Allowance for Non-Business Use Property

Non-business use property included in other assets is recorded when the Bank acquires collateral by foreclosure on the mortgage for loans. If the latest auction price is lower than book value, the difference is provided as a valuation allowance and the valuation loss is charged to current operations. In addition, the difference between the selling price and book value is recorded as a disposition gain or loss.

Recognition of Impairment of Assets

When the book value of assets (other than securities and assets valued at present value) exceeds the collective value of the assets due to obsolescence, physical damage or a sharp decrease in market value and the difference is material, the book value are adjusted to collective value in the balance sheet and the resulting impairment loss is charged to current operations. If the collective value of the assets increases in subsequent years, the increase in value is credited to operations as gain until the collective value equals the book value of assets that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized. The Bank assessed the collective value based on expected selling price or appraisal value.

Amortization of Discounts (Premiums) on Debentures

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

Contingent Liabilities

A possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Bank is recognized as contingent liabilities when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits required and the amount of the obligation can be measured with sufficient reliability. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of the liabilities is the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. In addition, as some or all expenditures required to settle a provision are expected to be reimbursed by another party, the reimbursement is recognized as separate assets in the balance sheet and related income may be offset against expense in the income statement.

Accrued Severance Benefits

Employees and directors and temporary employees with at least one year of service as of September 30, 2007 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. The accrued severance benefits that would be payable assuming all eligible employees and directors were to resign are included in other liabilities.

The Bank has purchased severance benefits insurance, which meets the funding requirement for tax purposes, and made deposits with Kyobo Life Insurance Co., Ltd and others. Withdrawal of these deposits is restricted to the payment of severance benefits. These are presented as a deduction from the accrued severance benefits.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments

The Bank accounts for derivative instruments pursuant to the Interpretations on Financial Accounting Standards 53-70 on accounting for derivative instruments. Derivative instruments are classified as used for trading activities or for hedging activities according to their transaction purpose. All derivative instruments are accounted for at fair value with the valuation gain or loss recorded as an asset or liability. If the derivative instrument is not part of a transaction qualifying as a hedge, the adjustment to fair value is reflected in current operations.

The accounting for derivative transactions that are part of a qualified hedge 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 accumulated other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion is recorded in current operations. The effective portion of gain or loss recorded as 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.

Accounting for Share-based Payment

The terms of the arrangement for share-based payment transactions provide the Bank with a choice of whether the transaction is settled in cash or by issuing equity instruments. In accordance with the resolution of the Board of Directors on August 23, 2005 to settle the transaction in cash, the compensation cost is recorded in other liabilities (accrued expense). The compensation cost of stock options granted before and after the effective date of the Statements of Korea Accounting Standards No. 22 (Share-based Payment) was measured using the intrinsic value method in accordance with the Interpretations on Financial Accounting Standards 39-35 “Accounting for Stock Options,” and the fair value method, respectively.

National Housing Fund

The Bank, as designated by the Korean government under the Housing Law (former 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 interest to NHF, which is computed by multiplying the average balance of the NHF account by the passbook deposit interest rate.

Accounting for Trust Accounts

The Bank separately maintains the books of accounts and financial statements in connection with the trust operations (the trust accounts) from those of the bank accounts in accordance with the Trust Business Act. When surplus funds are generated through the management of trust assets, such funds are deposited with the Bank and are recorded as due to trust accounts of the bank accounts. Also, the borrowings from the bank account are recorded as due from trust accounts of the bank accounts. The Bank receives fees for operation and management of the trust business and accounts for them as fees and commissions from trust accounts. With respect to certain trust account products, the Bank guarantees the repayment of the principal of the trust accounts and, in certain cases, a fixed rate of return. If income from such trust accounts is insufficient to pay the guaranteed amount, such a deficiency is satisfied by using special reserves maintained in the trust accounts, offsetting trust fee payable to the bank accounts and receiving compensation contributions from the bank accounts of the Bank. If the Bank pays compensating contributions to the guaranteed return trusts to cover such deficiencies, these contributions are reflected as operating expense of the bank accounts and as other income of the trust accounts.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense is the amount currently payable for the period added to or deducted from the changes in deferred income taxes. However, deferred income tax assets are recognized only if the future tax benefits from accumulated temporary differences and any tax loss carryforwards are realizable. The difference between the amount currently payable for the period and income tax expense is accounted for as deferred income tax assets or liabilities, which will be charged or credited to income tax expense in the period the related temporary difference reverses in the future. Deferred income tax assets or liabilities are calculated based on the expected tax rate to be applied at the reversal period of the related assets or liabilities. Tax payable and deferred income tax assets or liabilities regarding to certain items are charged or credited directly to related components of shareholders’ equity.

Accounting for Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation

The Bank maintains its accounts in Korean Won. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in Korean Won based on the basic rate of exchange on the transaction date. The Korean Won equivalent of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in these financial statements based on the basic rate ((Won)920.70 and (Won)929.60 to US$ 1.00 at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively) announced by Seoul Money Brokerage Service, Ltd. or cross rates for other currencies other than U.S. Dollars at the balance sheet dates. Translation gains and losses are credited or charged to operations. Financial statements of overseas branches are translated based on the basic rate at balance sheet dates.

Discontinued Operation

A discontinued operation refers to a component of the Bank that is capable of being distinguished operationally for financial reporting purposes and is capable of being identified as a major line of business or geographical area of operations, and that the Bank, pursuant to a single plan of discontinuance, substantially disposes in its entirety, such as by selling it in a single transaction; sells off its assets and settles its liabilities individually or in small groups; or terminates it through abandonment. The income (loss) from continuing operation and discontinued operation was not distinguished and separately presented as there was no discontinued operation in the prior year and current period.

Application of the Statement of Korea Accounting Standards

The Korea Accounting Standard Board (KASB) under the Korea Accounting Institute (KAI) issued the Statements of Korea Accounting Standards (SKAS) for achieving a set of Korean accounting standards that should be internationally acceptable and comparable based on SKAS Act 92. The Bank adopted SKAS No.1 (Accounting Changes and Error Corrections) through SKAS No. 20 (Related Party Disclosures) (excluding SKAS No. 11 and No. 14) as of or before December 31, 2006, and SKAS No. 11 (Discontinued Operation) and SKAS No. 21 (Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements) through SKAS No. 25 (Consolidated Financial Statements) have been adopted since January 1, 2007.

With the adoption of SKAS No. 21 (Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements) and SKAS No. 24 (Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Financial Industry]), the Bank included the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity in the financial statements, and reclassified the components of the balance sheets as follows:

In addition, the Bank has reclassified the components of the cash flows; such as, changes in available-for-sale securities, held-to-maturity securities and loans that were presented under cash flows from investing activities are currently presented under cash flows from operating activities. The accompanying non-consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, which is presented for comparative purposes, was restated due to the application of SKAS No. 21 and No. 24.

The prior period financial statements were neither restated nor the earnings per share adjusted to reflect the effect of the application of SKAS No. 22 (Share-based Payment) and No. 23 (Earnings per Share), which is in accordance with the transition provision.

The fair values of trading and available-for sale debt securities in Won were assessed by applying the average of base prices as of balance sheet dates, provided by the bond pricing service institutions.

The fair value of the available-for-sale non-marketable equity securities such as Korea Housing Guarantee Co., Ltd. and 21 others, and the restricted available-for-sale marketable equity securities such as Hyundai Engineering and Construction Co., Ltd. and 4 others were reliably measured by an independent appraisal institute using reasonable judgment. The fair value was determined based on more than one valuation models such as Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Model, Imputed Market Value (IMV) Model, Discounted Free Cash Flow to Equity (FCFE) Model, Dividend Discount (DD) Model and Risk Adjusted Discounted Cash Flow (RADCF) Model depending on the equity securities.

(*2) The difference between the cost of the investment and the amount of the underlying equity in the net assets of KB Credit Information amounting to (Won)1,128 million, which resulted from the additional purchase of shares in October 2004, is amortized over 5 years using the straight-line method and credited to the gain on valuation of securities accounted for using the equity method. As a result, (Won)169 million and (Won)226 million were credited to current operation for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and for the year ended December 31, 2006, respectively, and the balance of the difference amounts to (Won)451 million and (Won)620 million as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
(*3) The equity method is no longer applied to securities of KLB Securities Co., Ltd. and Jooeun Industrial Co., Ltd. due to accumulated deficit, and to securities of KB Life Insurance Co., Ltd. due to unrealized income elimination, which led to a decrease in the book value below zero.

If the loans are restructured by means of reduction of interest rates, cash flows of fixed rate loans are discounted by effective interest rates originally agreed upon and cash flows of floating rate loans are discounted by interest rates determined by adding a credit risk premium, which is calculated at the restructuring date, assuming that debtors’ credit at the origination date is effective to the restructuring date, to a benchmark interest rate. The difference between the book value and the present value is presented as an allowance for possible loan losses.

The Bank uses various derivative instruments for its trading activities, including interest rate and foreign exchange swaps, futures, forwards and options, to manage the interest rate characteristics of certain assets or liabilities and to economically hedge against the effects of fluctuations in interest rates or foreign exchange rates.

The Bank holds derivative instruments accounted for as fair value hedges applied to debentures, subordinated bonds, structured bonds and structured deposits. The Bank recognized (Won)141,205 million and (Won)8,510 million of gains and (Won)10,409 million and (Won)77,193 million of losses on valuation of fair value hedged items for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In addition, the interest rate swap covers the fair value changes of the hedged items resulted from the fluctuation in interest rate and foreign exchange rate. The difference of the valuation between the interest rate swap designated as the fair value hedging instrument and the structured bond, the hedged item, is (Won)345 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

 

(11) The Bank purchased synthetic Collateralized Default Obligation (CDO) with embedded Credit Default Swap (CDS) for the purpose of earning income such as commission income as of September 30, 2007. The details are as follows (Unit: In USD thousands):

 

     Date of contract   

Date of

maturity

   Amount    Reference entity

BNP Paribas

   2006.08.24    2013.12.20    10,000    116 Global Bonds

UBS

   2007.07.23    2017.06.20    10,000    125 Global Bonds

The Bank could receive less than par and incur loss in relation to the sale of the CDO in case of credit events such as the default of the reference entity.
