2002-02-15

On February 6, 2001, the board of directors of Kookmin Bank has approved the audited non-consolidated financial statements in accordance with Korean GAAP for the fiscal year 2001. The following selected numbers have been released to the press.

1.1 Purchase accounting method application

In order to facilitate proper analysis of Kookmin Bank’s 2001 earnings result, we offer the following summary of accounting and financial statement rules new Kookmin Bank has adopted:

1.1.1. According to Korean rules and regulations relating to business combination, Kookmin Bank’s official accounting method relies on purchase accounting, which accounts for an acquisition using market value for the consolidation of the two entities’ net assets on the balance sheet. Here are the details:

• Former Kookmin Bank purchases the assets and liabilities of former H&CB at fair value as of October 31, 2001.

• An acquisition cost of former H&CB is a sum of the total value of stocks outstanding for former H&CB (closing price on October 31, 2001 of 33,766 won x number of stocks outstanding of 119,922,229) and the fair value of former H&CB’s stock options (18 billion won).

• The fair value of former H&CB’s net assets is 3,362 billion won:

The fair value of former H&CB’s net assets is 3,362 billion won
(Million won) Assets Liabilities Capital
Book Value 67,700 64,381 3,319
Fair Value 67,743 64,381 3,362

• Goodwill is created by taking the difference of the purchase price and fair value of net assets of former H&CB. Goodwill of 705 billion won will be amortized over nine years, using a straight-line accounting method.

1.1.2. The financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2001 are filed using the purchase accounting method. For the purpose of comparison, however, we will present figures of purchase accounting and figures derived through simple arithmetic summation of two banks’ past earnings, excluding the inter-bank transaction amounts.

• 2001 Balance Sheet states former Kookmin Bank’s assets and liabilities outstanding as of December 31, 2001 and reflects the fair value of former H&CB’s net assets.

• 2001 Income Statement states former Kookmin Bank’s revenues and expenses for full 12 months, as well as former H&CB’s November and December results.

• A formal presentation of the comparative financial statement states the results based on purchase accounting method, which preserves former Kookmin Bank as an ongoing entity having acquired former H&CB on November 1, 2001. Respectively, an official comparison shall be based on the financial statements of former Kookmin Bank.

• Notwithstandin g the above, we have combined the income statements of former Kookmin Bank and former H&CB, excluding their inter-bank transactions, to present pro forma comparisons.
