Report of Independent Auditors
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
WiderThan Co., Ltd.
WiderThan Co., Ltd.
We have audited the accompanying non-consolidated balance sheets of WiderThan Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related non-consolidated statements of income, appropriations of retained earnings, and cash flows for the years then ended, 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 conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the non-consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of WiderThan Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations, the changes in its retained earnings and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea.
As discussed in Note 1, on December 15, 2005, the Company has completed its initial public offering on the NASDAQ.
Samil Pricewaterhouse Cooper is the Koran member firm of Pricewaterhouse Coopers. Pricewaterhouse Coopers refer to the network of member firms of Pricewaterhouse Coopers International Limited, each of which is a separate and independent legal entity.
Accounting principles and auditing standards and their application in practice vary among countries. The accompanying non-consolidated financial statements are not intended to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in countries and jurisdictions other than the Republic of Korea. In addition, the procedures and practices used 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 who are informed about Korean accounting principles or auditing standards and their application in practice.

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
The significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its financial statements are summarized below. | ||
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation The Company 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 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 non-consolidated 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 non-consolidated 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. | ||
Accounting Estimates The preparation of the 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 Company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from those estimates. | ||
Application of the Statements of Korean Financial Accounting Standards The Korean Accounting Standards Board has published a series of Statements of Korean Financial Accounting Standards (SKFAS), which will gradually replace the existing financial accounting standards established by the Korean Financial Supervisory Commission. As SKFAS Nos. 10, 12 and 13 became applicable to the Company on January 1, 2004, the Company adopted these Standards in its financial statements covering periods beginning January 1, 2004. | ||
And as SKFAS Nos. 15 through 17 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2005, the Company adopted these Standards in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005. |

Revenue Recognition For the service revenue, the Company recognizes its revenue at the time when services are rendered according to service contracts with wireless internet companies, and the revenue amounts are determinable. Revenues related to system sales are recognized using the percentage- of-completion method. However, when the revenue can not be reliably estimated, the revenue is recognized based on the collectible amounts up to the cost incurred. | ||
Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers cash on hand, bank deposits and highly liquid marketable securities with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. | ||
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s estimate of the collectibility of the accounts. | ||
Investment securities The Company accounts for equity and debt securities under the provision of SKFAS No. 8,Investments in Securities. This statement requires investments in equity and debt securities to be classified into three categories: trading, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity. | ||
Securities are initially carried at cost, including incidental expenses, with cost being determined using the moving average method. Debt securities, which the Company has the intent and ability to hold to maturity, are generally carried at cost, adjusted for the amortization of discounts or premiums. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized over the term of the debt using the effective interest method.

Stock Options The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements using the fair value method.

The Company uses a Black-Scholes model to determine the fair value of equity-based awards at the date of grant. When the Company’s common stocks were not traded in the stock market, the Company used an independent third party valuation specialist to determine the fair value of the common stocks on the dates of stock option grants. In case that the Company’s common stocks are traded in the stock market, compensation cost for stock option grants are remeasured at the time of initial public offering using the market price of the common stocks. |

14. | Commitments and Contingencies | |
As of December 31, 2005, the Company has entered several service agreements with SK Telecom Co., Ltd., a related party, for providing integrated mobile entertainment solutions. Pursuant to the agreements, approximately 87% of the Company’s revenue was derived from sales to SK Telecom Co., Ltd. in 2005 (2004: 86%). The Company’s operations are significantly dependent upon the business relationship with SK Telecom and the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis that this relationship will continue in the foreseeable future. | ||
In connection with the Company’s ringback tone carrier application service deployments, the Company has licensed certain intellectual property rights from SK Telecom pursuant to a non-exclusive license agreement. The term of this license agreement is co-terminous with the terms of the Company’s carrier application service contracts for ringback tones. For this license, the Company pays SK Telecom either a percentage of the Company’s revenue based on the number of users in case of a ringback tone carrier application service sale, or based on the sales price of certain ringback tone servers in case of a ringback tone system sale. | ||
In June 2005, an association representing music producers in Korea sent the Company a notice demanding payment of fees for the Company’s use in its carrier application services since July 2004 for songs over which the association claims it holds certain rights. The Company used and paid fees for these songs under licensing agreements with independent music label companies whose agreements contain representations that these music label companies are the rightful and legal owner of the songs. Nevertheless, the association is claiming that it is the rightful owner. The Company is currently investigating the merit of the association’s claims and the scope of any potential liability. Under the Company’s licensing agreements, the independent music label companies are required to indemnify the Company for any losses resulting from their representations. Should the Company become liable to the association in this matter, the Company intends to exercise its indemnity rights under its licensing agreements with the independent music label companies. | ||

1 As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company did not recognize deferred tax assets for the temporary differences that are not realizable within the foreseeable future. |
The statutory income tax rate, including resident tax surcharges, applicable to the Company for the year ended December 31, 2005, was 27.5% (2004: 29.7%). However, as a result of tax reconciliation, tax credits and other items, the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2005, is 43.93% (2004: 29.5%). |
20. | Earnings Per Share | |
Basic earnings per share and ordinary income per share are computed by dividing net income allocated to common stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Basic ordinary income per share is computed by dividing ordinary income allocated to common stock, which is net income allocated to common stock as adjusted by extraordinary gains or losses, net of related income taxes, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. | ||
Basic earnings per shares for years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, are computed as follows: |
(in thousands of Korean won, except per share amounts ) | 2005 | 2004 | |||||||
Net income | 4,052,436 | 6,401,753 | |||||||
Less: Preferred stock dividends | — | (1,593,930 | ) | ||||||
Net income available for common stock | 4,052,436 | 4,807,823 | |||||||
Weighted-average number of shares of outstanding common stock | 14,554,862 | 10,290,984 | |||||||
Basic earnings per share (in Korean won) | 278 | 467 | |||||||
Basic ordinary income per share for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 are identical to basic earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, because there were no extraordinary gains or losses. | ||
Diluted earnings per share is computed using the same method as basic earnings per share, but reflects the potential dilution effect that could occur if convertible preferred stocks issued and stock option granted were converted into common shares. For purposes of the computation of diluted earnings per share, net income available for common shares is adjusted to add back preferred stock dividends to preferred stocks. |
