Revision of Woori Finance Holdings’ Key Financial Performance Figures for the Third Quarter of 2005

 

Due to the anticipated change in provision policy, we accumulated additional provisions for unused credit commitment in the third quarter. However, because the change in provision policy has not been confirmed as of the reporting date, we have decided not to make those additional provisions. The revised financial performance figures for Woori Finance Holdings for the nine-month period ended on September 30, 2005 on a consolidated basis are as follows.
