2. Chairwoman's Message

To our esteemed shareholders,

Fiscal year 2008 was a year of unprecedented challenges for the financial markets and economies across the globe. The support we received from our shareholders was invaluable in helping us navigate through the troubled times.

Growing financial turmoil, bankruptcy of prominent global companies and volatile commodity prices raised fears that the global economy may be headed for a prolonged recession. Korea was not spared from the woes. Prospects for the domestic economy were bleak amid a downward spiral of the Korean currency, declining exports and subsequent deterioration in corporate earnings, and depressed domestic consumption.

Over the past fiscal year, all of us at Daishin Securities worked tirelessly to find new opportunities for growth amid the crisis. We extended our international network to add momentum to our global businessWe opened an office in Shanghai to make headway in China, which has emerged as a global economic center, while full-fledged operations are now underway at our Hong Kong subsidiary.

Our newly launched next-generation IT system allows us to meet diverse customer needs in the face of rapid market changes including adoption of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act (FSCMA). Based on the new IT system and differentiated services, we aim to spearhead new trends in the financial markets. In recognition of our ongoing drive to provide services that delight customers, Daishin Securities secured the No.1 spot in the 2008 global customer satisfaction survey by JMA Consultants of Japan. This year, we ranked first among securities firms in the wellbeing & premium brand category.

For fiscal 2008, Daishin Securities recorded operating revenue of KRW2,823.7 billion and operating expenses of KRW2,723.5 billion. Operating income amounted to KRW100.1 billion. Non-operating income was KRW27.1 billion and non-operating expenses were KRW2.3 billion. We posted pre-tax income of KRW124.9 billion and net income of KRW103.3 billion.

We distributed cash dividends of KRW1,000 per share for common stock and Class 2 preferred stock and KRW1,050 for Class 1 preferred stock. In doing so, we upheld our pledge to return wealth to our shareholders while becoming the only major securities company in Korea to pay out cash dividends for eleven consecutive years. Daishin Securities will maintain its profit-oriented approach to maximize earnings in fiscal year 2009 and meet our shareholders' expectations.

In addition to the slump in the world economy, we anticipate fiercer competition from Korean and global financial institutions. To respond to new developments in the financial markets and to spearhead change, our business objective for fiscal 2009 is to become a "financial attending doctor offering expert financial services." Our action plans to realize this goal include strengthening core services, cultivating future growth engines, and promoting a corporate culture based on trust. Harnessing our next-generation IT system introduced last fiscal year, we will strive to boost work efficiency and deliver unique, high quality services.

Every effort will be made to ensure the success of new businesses to achieve earnings diversification and a stable profit structure. We will also promote a new investment culture with added emphasis on risk management. Daishin Securities will continue to evolve into a global investment bank that pursues mutual advances with customers and shareholders.

We look forward to your continued faith and encouragement as we work towards our vision of becoming the foremost investment bank in Korea.

Daishin Securities Co., Ltd.

Chairwoman  Auh-Ryung Lee

3. CEO's Interview

Q. What is the future direction of Daishin Securities in this age of the Financial Investment

Services and Capital Markets Act (FSCMA)?

Our ultimate objective is to build the world's most trustworthy company that grows together with our clients. Rather than concentrating on simply growing our capital and organization, we have a relentless focus on the fundamentals and on upgrading quality of customer service. Our plan is to complete the transition into a financial services provider with Korea's leading brand value by the year 2013.

2009 will be the year in which we make the leap as a full-fledged investment bank. Our strategy is to bolster both existing strengths and promising growth areas to sharpen our future competitive edge. To this end, we plan to dramatically enhance our advantage in the retail segment while working to gain a solid foothold for growth in areas such as wealth management, investment banking and principal investment.

In the retail segment, our goal is to make all our clients financially happy. We are empowering our sales staff with in-depth financial expertise so they can become a "financial attending doctor" offering totalwealth management solutions. Moreover, we are reinforcing all areas of the retail business by pooling our resources and mapping out new strategies.

Compliance is another important area of focus as we endeavor to mitigate risks and increase customer trust.

The FSCMA has opened doors for securities firms to broaden their scope of business to areas such as futures and hedge funds. We plan to achieve a stable profit structure by making full preparation before entering the new markets and developing differentiated products.

Q. What are your business plans for fiscal 2009?

In fiscal year 2008, Daishin Securities posted a drop in earnings from the previous year. But even in an extremely turbulent financial market, our fundamentals remained intact thanks to our proactive approach to risk management, and the company is now readying for another leap forward.

Daishin's 2009 management goal is to become a "financial attending doctor offering expert financial services." To attain this goal, we will deliver total financial services and further improve retail services through companywide sales process innovation.

Other 2009 objectives include successful entry into new businesses such as futures and hedge funds to propel future growth, development of new products and services to pursue earnings diversification, and an all-out campaign to increase assets. Daishin Securities remains firmly committed to evolving into a global investment bank by instilling an investment culture that values an inclusive and preemptive approach to risk management. We will also work towards building up our image as a trustworthy company that always puts customers first.

Q. Tell us about your efforts to enhance shareholder value.

Daishin Securities has always placed priority on maximizing shareholder value. Our principle of returning wealth to shareholders has been represented by our cash dividend payouts.

We are also Korea's only major securities company to distribute cash dividends for eleven years in a row. 

For fiscal year 2008, Daishin Securities distributed per share cash dividends of KRW 1,000 for common stock, KRW 1,050 for Class 1 preferred stock, and KRW 1,000 for Class 2 preferred stock.

Going forward, we will invest more in areas with high growth potential and strengthen our competitiveness in retail operations to ensure that our shares are fairly valued in the market.

7. Risk Management

History of Risk Management at Daishin Securities

All companies with a long tradition have overcome crisis at some point in time.

Likewise, Daishin Securities has grown over the years by turning crisis into opportunity

In 1980, the Korean economy contracted while interest rates soared beyond 30%. Akin to most companies at the time, Daishin Securities suffered a deterioration in earnings amid the harsh operating environment. However, we took advantage of soaring interest rates by investing in bonds. The bond investments generated significant returns and paved the way for our growth in the 1980s.

When the KOSPI underwent a correction in 1995 after hitting an unprecedented high in November 1994, we disposed of a large portion of stocks in proprietary accounts and used the proceeds to repay short-term borrowings. When the foreign exchange crisis erupted and stock prices plummeted two years later, we were free of debt and thus, able to ride out the turbulence with relative ease of mind. Furthermore, while our peers focused on selling beneficiary certificates amid the "Buy Korea" rage, we launched our CYBOS home trading system. CYBOS gave us an edge in the online stock trading market and provided strong impetus for growth.

When there was a surge in sales of beneficiary certificates (BC) with exposure to Daewoo Group bonds in 1998, Daishin Securities suspended the sales of such BCs.

Instead, we concentrated on BCs invested in public bonds. One year later, Daewoo Group succumbed to bankruptcy. That triggered a massive redemption of BCs and our competitors incurred huge losses from Daewoo bonds. In striking contrast, Daishin Securities produced the industry's best operating results for fiscal 1999 thanks to preemptive risk management.

Stimulus measures to prop up the economy after the foreign exchange crisis created a consumption bubble in the early 2000s. As credit card spending ballooned, the proportion of consumption in GNP increased markedly. Fortunately, Daishin Securities refrained from investing in bonds issued by credit card companies and lending institutions. When the credit bubble eventually burst in 2003, credit card bonds plunged. A major Korean business group was even forced to sell off its securities unit. Once again, Daishin was able to sail through the turmoil due to its proactive approach to managing risk.

Preemptive and strategic risk management is helping Daishin Securities take the recent global financial turmoil in stride. The subprime mortgage debacle unfolded as several hedge funds went bankrupt in July 2007 and created jitters in international financial markets. The crisis led to the collapse of prominent investment banks such as Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns, and many financial institutions that had transactions with

the insolvent firms suffered losses. However, we actually enjoyed gains from derivatives by signing credit enhancement contracts with global investment banks for OTC derivatives transactions in order to reduce counterparty risk.

We increased liquidity during the one-year period from autumn of 2007 until the global financial crisis broke out in 2008. We disposed of real estate worth KRW101.6 billion and issued $129 million in global depository receipts. To respond to potential delinquencies related to the overheating real estate market, we practiced restraint with respect to real estate project financing and recovered investments already made before July 2008.

In our proprietary accounts, we vastly reduced exposure to stocks and risky assets. Our bond portfolio mainly comprised safe and liquid bonds such as treasury bonds and stabilization bonds. That strategy led to sizeable profits compared to the extent of our bond holdings due to the government's rate-cutting measures last year.

As indicated above, Daishin Securities has a long tradition of preemptive risk management. Based on our accumulated knowhow in managing risk, we will further evolve as Korea's leading financial services provider.

Tighter Risk Management

Daishin Securities promotes an investment culture based on preemptive and companywide risk management. Our goal is to establish a total risk management system that enables us to respond effectively to the fast changing financial environment.

To strengthen the system of checks and balances among the front-middle-back offices, the Risk Management Department was elevated to Risk Management Group as part of the organizational reshuffling in April 2009. The Credit Analysis Team was upgraded to Credit Analysis Dept. to boost expertise and work efficiency.

The Credit Analysis Dept. was launched for several reasons. First, the adoption of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act (FSCMA) is expected to result in more diverse products and an increase in payment guarantees, loans and principal investment. This calls for more thorough examination before proceeding with investments. There is also a need for more stringent procedures on reviewing loan applications and securities offered as collateral to address the risk of delinquency of unsecured loans due to the financial crisis.

Total risk management system

To practice tighter risk management for new products and comply with guidelines set by the regulatory agencies following implementation of FSCMA, Daishin Securities launched its next generation total risk management system (TRMS) in May 2009.

The main points of TRMS are tighter risk monitoring and companywide risk management. We have set up an early warning mechanism by monitoring the investment limit, VaR limit and sensitivity limit for each product and each unit, and by strengthening the contingency plan indicator reporting function. We have also drawn up a derivative evaluation model to prepare for expected expansion of the derivatives market and subsequent rise in need for more specialized risk management. In terms of credit risk, we are prepared to calculate credit VaR according to the Basel framework and manage the company's total exposure.

Another unique feature of TRMS is enhanced control over operational risk. The risk of embezzlement, fraud and other similar incidents along with unforeseen system errors exists in all financial institutions. Accordingly, Daishin Securities measures operational risk according to Basel standards, monitors key risk indicators (KRI), and carries out risk control self-assessments (RCSA) in order to promote the importance of operational risk management throughout the company.

8. Challenges

Business Model to Secure Foot hold for Future Growth

2009 is the year Daishin Securities will make the leap as a full-fledged investment bank.

At Daishin, our strategy is to bolster both existing strengths and promising growth areas to sharpen our competitive edge. Traditionally, our strong point has been retail.

In line with the enforcement of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act (FSCMA) this year, we plan to further improve retail services through companywide sales process innovation designed to shore up our brand power and strengthen competitiveness. Daishin's 2009 management goal is to become a "financial attending doctor offering expert financial services."

The financial attending doctor service, which integrates brokerage and asset management, will be our top priority. Going beyond the practice of recommending a specific stock or product, this premier service provides total wealth management solutions that encompass the entire investment process from preliminary investment

consultation to follow-up risk management.

With this in mind, we opened the Logic and Portfolio Center in March 2009. Its key responsibilities are coming up with various scenarios and projections, strategies and products to increase customer value. We are also creating a process manual for refined services and offering training in all areas of finance to enable our employees to conduct effective investment consultations.

In the wholesale segment, we plan to complete the company- wide total sales system for our corporate clients. To this end, we are in the process of building an organic cooperation system across our entire segments of institutional sales, research, investment banking and pensions.

We will further expand our overseas reach in an effort to secure diverse sources of income. Our mid-to-long term goal is to transform into one of Asia's leading investment banks. We will focus on areas where we can excel in and seek business opportunities in Southeast and Central Asia, regions with high growth potential and where we have the edge. To minimize risks and generate stable returns, we will maintain our strategy of forging alliance with local partners when entering a new market.

Compliance is another area of focus as we endeavor to mitigate risks and protect customers.

Last year, we proved that preemptive and strategic risk management is vital to survival and profit generation. In order to stay profitable, we need powerful risk management solutions. That holds greater meaning following the introduction of the FSCMA.

Our plan is to instill an investment culture that values all-inclusive and proactive approach to risk management. We will continue to reinforce monitoring of new financial products for any vulnerability based on our newly introduced total risk management system.

New Business Opportunities

The FSCMA has opened the doors for securities firms to expand their scope of business activities. By developing a wide range of financial products and services, securities firms can seek new business opportunities that will provide new momentum for growth.

At Daishin Securities, we are awaiting government approval to start the futures business. Once we get the green light, we will launch brokerage and trading services for KRX-listed products such as interest rate futures and currency futures in the second half of the year. Going forward, our plan is to gain a greater edge in derivatives by expanding operations into overseas futures and margin FX.

The launch of retail payment services slated for the latter half of 2009 will not only increase customer convenience but help us upgrade our competitiveness. We also plan to diversify our revenue sources by entering such markets as hedge funds, payment guarantee and pension guaranteed loans.

Our unparalleled overseas stock trading services will continue as well. Following the first trading service launched for Japanese stocks in February 2008, we are set to provide services in Hong Kong and Chinese stock markets in late 2009. Future plans include offering direct trading access to US stock exchanges to reflect increased merits of investing in major US firms whose stock values have plunged recently and growing interest in commodities (gold and crude oil) and ETFs (Exchange-Traded Fund). We are also looking into introducing a Hong Kong ELW (Equity-Linked Warrant) trading service.

Our ultimate goal is to deliver comprehensive overseas investment services by gradually enhancing our presence in the global marketplace with overseas stock, bond and derivative offerings.

IVAppendix

1. Management's Discussion and Analysis

Overview

In the aftermath of the global credit crisis, stock markets and asset values including raw materials and real estate

worldwide corrected significantly and led to the steep downturn of the real economy. Although US sub-prime mortgage issues surfaced in 2007, the world economy continued to grow thanks to high growth in emerging countries like China and India. However, risks in the financial markets resurfaced following the rating downgrade of monoline insurers and bankruptcy of Bear Stearns and peaked with the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers. Spreading to the rest of the world, the credit turmoil has triggered a potentially dragged out global recession. The Korean economy was not spared from the phenomenon and saw a sharp decline in the value of the won, weakening exports, sluggish domestic demand, shrinking investments and a slowdown in corporate earnings.

The dollar-based MSCI global index declined 43.5% in 2008 and retreated to levels recorded five years ago. The MSCI developed market index plummeted 42.1% and the MSCI emerging market index, which received investors' attention for the past few years, retreated 54.5%. The Korean stock market also experienced marked losses. After peaking at 2,064.85 on October 31, 2007, KOSPI dropped below 1,000 in October 2008. It gained back some of the lost ground to reach 1,206.26 in March 31, 2009, which was still down by 29.2% from a year earlier. KOSDAQ fell 34.6% year-on-year to 421.44.

Uncertainties in the capital market triggered a massive sell-off by foreign investors as they reduced their exposure to the Korean stock market, and foreign net selling amounted to KRW 21 trillion in FY2008. The average daily stock trading turnover dropped 19.9% from KRW 7,972.3 billion in FY2007 to KRW 6,385.7 billion in FY2008. On the other hand, the fluctuating stock market led to a respective 13.6% and 24.1% increase in the average daily transaction value of futures and options. Fund balance reached KRW 361 trillion at the end of 2008 as a result of steady influx of money into installment funds amid the absence of massive redemptions despite unstable financial market conditions in Korea and overseas. Furthermore, steep correction of the stock market led to opportunities for institutional and retail investors to buy into undervalued stocks, and the Korean stock market stabilized earlier than expected with the higher liquidity.

Operating revenue in FY2008 increased 5.0% compared to the previous year to KRW 2,823.7 billion thanks to growing revenues from marketable securities and interest income, although lower stock trading turnover and reduced retail trading depressed commission income. However, operating income dropped 55.2% to KRW 100.1 billion due to deteriorating revenue from brokerage and financial services amid the bearish stock markets and greater provisioning related to preemptive risk management efforts. Pre-tax income and net income declined to KRW 124.9 billion (down51.2%) and KRW 103.3 billion (down 41.9%), respectively. Although FY2008 results were down compared to the previous year, Daishin Securities still managed to maintain stable earnings despite the credit crisis worldwide.

As of the end of March 2009, total assets stood at KRW 6,487.4 billion, up by 8.7% from a year earlier. We reshuffled our asset portfolio to 1) increase our position in less risky assets such as cash/deposits, government bonds, and monetary stabilization bonds; and 2) reduce our exposure to assets with greater risk such as derivatives, structured securities and loans. In doing so, we lowered the risks associated with asset management and became better positioned to cope with uncertainties in the capital markets. As a result, our net capital ratio and assets to liabilities ratio stood at 844.3% and 127.8%, respectively, at the end of FY2008, which were far above the limits set by the Financial Supervisory Service.

Moreover, Daishin Securities is the only major securities firm in Korea to pay out cash dividends for eleven consecutive years. We strive to achieve continued enhancement of shareholders' value as evidenced by the 5.4% dividend yield on common stock for FY2008, which is the highest level in the industry.

Analysis of Operating Pe rformance

Net Operating Revenues

Although market liquidity and fundamentals of the economy weakened with the global credit crunch during 2008, Daishin Securities was able to create a steady stream of revenues thanks to preemptive and strategic risk management. 

Accordingly, we recorded net operating revenue of KRW 396.1 billion for FY2008. That represented a decline by 26.4% year-on-year but was higher than the figure posted in FY2006. This is an indication that Daishin Securities has established a business portfolio and growth platform that can produce solid performance even in difficult times.

Net revenue from brokerage fell 29.5% year-on-year to KRW 290.3 billion owing to the decrease of average daily trading turnover and a weaker presence of retail investors in the stock market. Net revenue from financial services recorded a 29.7% year-on-year drop to KRW 37.2 billion as the bearish market forced a decrease in broker loans (unsecured loans and loans backed by securities) by 37.3%. On the other hand, as the result of stronger marketing activities aimed at risk-averse clients, the number of cash management accounts (CMA) accounts grew 31.3% year-on-year to 205,817, and money deposited in CMAs rose by 25.8% year-on-year to KRW 1,165.3 billion.

Turning to the Capital Market Group, our proprietary trading desk reduced the weighting of high-risk assets such as equities in its portfolio and focused on safer assets with high liquidity such as government bonds and monetary stabilization bonds. Accordingly, net operating revenue from capital market operations amounted to KRW 63.4 billion (up 51.4% year-on-year) in FY2008, helped by the government's relaxed monetary policy.

Balance of beneficiary certificates (BCs) sold recorded a 9.5% year-on-year increase to KRW 2,726.9 billion despite the weak equity market. As customers became more risk-averse, funds were concentrated on safer vehicles like MMF.

While the balance of MMF and equity-type BCs sold increased by 161.0% and 7.9% year-on-year to KRW 1,076.6 billion and KRW 385.9 billion respectively, balance of bond-type and hybrid-type BCs sold decreased 53.7% and 4.2% to KRW 312.5 billion and KRW 287.1 billion, respectively. Balance of overseas and derivatives fund BCs was down by 10.6% at KRW 664.9 billion. Commission income from sales of BCs, despite the increase in balance sold, decreased 17.1% to KRW 8 billion owing to lower commission rates.

Interest-earning assets comprised mainly of bonds and loans which offer relatively high stability and profitability. The loans (margin to customers, loans for stock purchase, loans secured by securities) mostly have stocks as collateral. As the loan to collateral ratio is monitored real-time, our portfolio has relatively low risk and high return. Net interest income in FY2008 grew 6.7% to KRW 118.1 billion despite lower market interest rates.

The Capital Market Group recorded a KRW 63.4 billion gain in FY2008, a 51.4% improvement over the FY2007 figure.

The proprietary trading desk primarily invested in safe and liquid monetary stabilization bonds and government bonds, and benefited from the drop in interest rates following the Korean government's monetary loosening policy, which resulted in bond trading profits of KRW 72.3 billion. On the other hand, equities trading produced a loss of KRW 7.2 billion due to the sharp fall in stock prices despite a conservative investment strategy and reduction in the weight of higher-risk equities. Daishin Securities continues in its endeavors to improve its propretary trading profits by diversifying away from equities and bonds and pursuing alternative investments and principal investments.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative (G&A) expenses for FY2008 decreased 5.9% year-on-year to KRW 296.0 billion. Wages, which account for around 60% of G&A expenses, were down 9.6% to KRW 180 billion. This was despite the inaugural launch of ESOP in March 2009, resulting in compensatory stock award of KRW 8.6 billion, and a performance bonus of KRW 3 billion to management and research personnel. Daishin Securities maintains the discretionary portion of wages at about 50% in order to flexibly respond to stock market conditions.

Through cost control initiatives, the IT system operating expenses and advertising expenses were cut by 4.0% and 34.3% to KRW 22.5 billion and KRW 5.6 billion, respectively. Rent and depreciation expense increased 21.2% and 13.9% to KRW 6.9 billion and KRW 23.4 billion respectively due to extension of our branch network as part of efforts to reinforce retail brokerage and wealth management services.

Profitability and Shareholder Value

The downturn in the Korean equity markets following the global financial turmoil adversely affected our profitability. Operating income fell 55.2% year-on-year to KRW 100.1 billion in FY2008 and the operating income margin declined for the second consecutive year. The margin erosion is largely explained by the fact that stock valuation gains stemming from greater issuance of ELS were recognized as operating revenue. The reported operating revenue is overstated relative to net operating revenue since stock valuation gains from ELS issuance are largely offset by matching stock valuation losses from hedging. Accordingly, actual operating profitability is assessed to be higher than the accountingbased figure. The ability to generate KRW 100.1 billion in operating income in a bearish market is a reflection of our solid earning structure.

Daishin Securities continues with efforts to improve overall profitability by boosting the net non-operating income. In FY2008, we slashed our non-operating expenses by 75.5% year-on-year. Despite a decrease in absolute terms, net non-operating income accounted for 20% of pre-tax income, which is a testament to the effective operations at Daishin.

The equity market downslide triggered by the global financial crisis put a crimp on bottom-line earnings. FY2008 pre-tax income dropped 51.2% year-on-year to KRW 124.9 billion, while net income recorded a 41.9% drop to KRW 103.3 billion. On the other hand, we conducted a stock buyback as part of efforts to stabilize the share price and the compensatory stock award program, which in turn lowered the weighted average number of outstanding common stocks in FY2008 by 7.2% to 45,791,649. Thus, earnings per share for common stock after subtracting preferred stock dividends stood at KRW 1,317 in FY2008, a 35.5% decrease from the prior year.

Daishin Securities carries out various activities to maximize shareholder value. As part of our commitment to returning value to shareholders, we have paid out cash dividends for eleven consecutive years, the first major securities firm to do so in Korea. For FY2008, we distributed dividend per share (DPS) of KRW 1,000 for common stock, KRW 1,050 for class 1 preferred stock, and KRW 1,000 for class 2 preferred stock. Although total dividends declined relative to last year, the payout ratio improved to 77.6%. The dividend yield was at the highest levels in the industry, reaching 5.4% for common stock, 12.9% for class 1 preferred stock, and 13.6% for class 2 preferred stock.

Analysis of Financial Conditions

Assets

The global financial crisis and enforcement of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act has intensified competitive pressure in the Korean brokerage market. To become the best financial service provider in tough market conditions, Daishin Securities has focused on practicing comprehensive and preemptive risk management and fostering total wealth management services, rather than simply pursuing volume growth.

As of the end of March 2009, total assets stood at KRW 6,487.4 billion, up by 8.5% from a year earlier. Our asset portfolio is concentrated in low-risk assets such as cash/deposits, government bonds, and monetary stabilization bonds. Cash and deposits grew 36.7% year-on-year to KRW 1,381.1 billion while the balance of securities, comprising mostly low-risk and liquid public bonds, climbed 13.5% year-on-year to KRW 3,491.3 billion. The proportion of assets with greater risk such as derivatives, structured securities and loans were reduced as part of enhanced risk management to better cope with financial market uncertainty. The balance of derivative products and loans dropped to KRW 366.3 billion (-25.5%) and KRW 519.7 billion (-28.9%), respectively.

Liabilities and Shareholders' Equity

In line with the growth in assets, liabilities went up 13.7% to KRW 4,829.8 billion, with a particularly large increase in customer deposits. With the government's economic stimulus measures in motion, market liquidity surged during the first quarter of 2009 and stability returned to the stock market. As a result, customer deposits at end-March 2009 jumped 39.8% from a year earlier to KRW1,134.3 billion. Borrowings rose by 9.3% year-on-year to KRW 3,538.1 billion due to the growing tendency of market participants to invest short-term and the resultant surge in RP (repurchase agreement) stemming from the growth of CMA holders, which offset the impact of the decline in call money, loans and structured securities.

In November 2007, Daishin Securities became the first Korean securities firm to successfully issue global depository shares (GDS) on the London Stock Exchange. Consequently, we raised US$ 129 million in capital and maintained a stable financial structure during the global financial crisis. Following the cash dividend payment of KRW 106.2 billion in FY2007, we decided to pay out cash dividends in FY2008 worth KRW 80.1 billion and became the only securities firm in Korea to distribute cash dividends for eleven years in a row. Also, continuing with our efforts to return value to shareholders, Daishin Securities bought back 3,000,000 common and 2,500,000 preferred shares worth KRW 77.5 billion during FY2008.

Despite the tough market conditions, Daishin Securities reported net income of KRW 103.3 billion. But owing to dividend payments and share buybacks, shareholders' equity at the end of March 2009 stood at KRW 1,657.6 billion, down by 4.2% year-on-year.

Financial Soundness

To realize its future vision of becoming a "trustworthy company that grows with clients" and a "financial attending doctor offering expert financial services," we are building a stable and diversified earnings structure while maintaining financial soundness and a strong balance sheet.

The net capital ratio of Daishin Securities surged 234.5%p to 844.3% at the end of FY2008. This figure is far above the 300% limit set by the Financial Supervisory Service for companies that deal with OTC derivatives.

Meanwhile, substandard or below loans grew 14.4% from a year earlier to KRW 139.2 billion as a result of the global financial crisis and deterioration in the Korean capital market and real economy. The coverage ratio for such loans edged down year-on-year to 94.0%. The assets to liabilities ratio stood at 127.8%, remaining above the limit set by the Financial Supervisory Service.

2009 Management Plan and Risk Management

With the global economic slowdown expected to persist and enforcement of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, Daishin Securities anticipates heightened competition among Korean and foreign financial institutions in FY2009. To overcome the difficulties ahead, we will solidify our presence in retail brokerage, our traditional area of strength, and nurture other platforms such as wealth management, investment banking and principal investment for future growth.

We are endeavoring to strengthen our earnings base and diversify our source of income by seeking new opportunities, such as futures brokerage and the hedge fund business, and by offering differentiated financial products. We also plan to establish a comprehensive risk management system to efficiently counter drastic changes in the financial environment. We upgraded the Risk Management Department into the Risk Management Group in April 2009 to improve the system of mutual checks and balances and to boost cooperation between the sales and support divisions. The Credit Analysis Team was upgraded to Credit Analysis Dept. to boost expertise and work efficiency.

Based on its long tradition and accumulated experience coupled with preemptive and strategic risk management, Daishin Securities will evolve into Korea's leading investment bank.

2. Report on Internal Accounting Control System

A. Report of independent accounts review of internal accounting control system

To the President of

Daishin Securities Co., Ltd.

We have reviewed the accompanying management's report on the operations of the Internal Accounting Control

System ("IACS") of Daishin Securities Co., Ltd. (the "Company") as of March 31, 2009. The Company's management is responsible for designing and operating IACS and for its assessment of the effectiveness of IACS. Our responsibility is to review the management's report on the operations of the IACS and issue a report based on our review. The management's report on the operations of the IACS of the Company states that "based on its assessment of the operations of the IACS as of March 31, 2009, the Company's IACS has been designed and is operating effectively as of March 31, 2009 in all material respects, in accordance with the IACS standards established by the Internal Accounting Control System Operations Committee (IACSOC) of the Korea Listed Companies Association."

Our review was conducted in accordance with the IACS review standards established by the Korean Institute of

Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and perform, in all material respects, the review of management's report on the operations of the IACS to obtain a lower level of assurance than an audit. A review is to obtain an understanding of a company's IACS and consists principally of inquiries of management and, when deemed necessary, a limited inspection of underlying documents, which is substantially less in scope than an audit. 

A company's IACS is a system to monitor and operate those policies and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. Because of its inherent limitations, IACS may not prevent or detect a material misstatement of the financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that management's report on the operations of the IACS, referred to above, is not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the IACS standards established by IACSOC.

Our review is based on the Company's IACS as of March 31, 2009, and we did not review management's assessment of its IACS subsequent to March 31, 2009. This report has been prepared pursuant to the Acts on External Audit for Stock Companies in Korea and may not be appropriate for other purposes or for other users.

B. Report of independent accounts review of internal accounting control system

To the Board of Directors and Audit Committee of

Daishin Securities Co., Ltd.

I, as the Internal Accounting Control Officer ("IACO") of Daishin Securities Co. Ltd. ("the Company"), assessed the status of the design and operations of the Company's internal accounting control system ("IACS") for the year ended March 31, 2009.

The Company's management including the IACO is responsible for designing and operating the IACS. I, as the IACO, assessed whether the IACS has been effectively designed and is operating to prevent and detect any error or fraud which may cause misstatements to the financial statements, for the purpose of establishing the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes. I, as the IACO, applied the IACS standard to assess the design and operations of the IACS.

Based on the assessment on the operations of the IACS, in all material respects, the design and operations of the Company's IACS were effective as of March 31, 2009, in accordance with the IACS standards.

Report of Independent Auditors

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Daishin Securities Co., Ltd

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Daishin Securities Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Company") as of March 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity 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 did not audit the financial statements of Daishin Investment Trust Management Co., Ltd. and Daishin Securities Asia Ltd., whose financial statements reflect combined total assets representing 0.81% and 1.00%, respectively, of the consolidated total assets as of March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and combined total revenues representing 0.25% and 0.22%, respectively, of the consolidated total revenues for the years then ended, respectively. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose reports thereon has been furnished us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Daishin Investment Trust Management Co., Ltd. and Daishin Securities Asia Ltd., is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. 

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 and the reports of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors, the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Daishin Securities Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations, the changes in its shareholders' equity and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea.

Accounting principles and auditing standards and their application in practice vary among countries. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are not intended to present the financial position, results of operations, changes in shareholders' equity 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 consolidated 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 the accompanying consolidated financial statements are summarized below.

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation 

The Company maintains its accounting records in Korean won and prepares statutory consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements are intended for use by those who are informed about Korean accounting principles and practices. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been condensed, restructured and translated into English from the Korean language 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 consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of 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 Company's consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Korea, including Korean Financial Accounting Standards ("SKFAS") No. 1 through No. 24except for No. 14

  In accordance with the new Interpretations & Opinions of the Financial Supervisory Service, the Company reclassified cash flows from available-for-sale securities transactions as cash flows from investing activities, instead of cash flows from operating activities, while cash flows from collective fund for default loss was reclassified from cash flows from investing activities to cash flows from operating activities. The Company's statement of cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2008, has been restated to reflect above changes.

Principles of Consolidation 

The Company records differences between the investment account and corresponding capital account of subsidiaries as goodwill or negative goodwill, and such differences are amortized over five years using the straight-line method. However, differences which occur from additional investments acquired in consolidated subsidiaries are reported in a separate component of shareholders' equity, and are not included in the determination of the results of operations. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea, minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries are presented as a component of shareholders' equity in the consolidated balance sheet.

All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated during consolidation.

Unrealized profits, arising from sales by the Controlling Company to consolidated subsidiaries, or equity-method investees, are fully eliminated and charged to the equity of the Controlling Company. Unrealized profits, arising from sales by the consolidated subsidiaries, or equity-method investees, are fully eliminated, and charged to the equity of the controlling Company and minority interest, based on the percentage of ownership.

Daishin Securities Co., Ltd. and its consolidated subsidiaries follow the same fiscal year end.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes commissionstrading gains and losses on the contract date.

Securities

The Company accounts for equity and debt securities under the provision of SKAS 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. Trading and available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, except for non-marketable securities, classified as available-for-sale securities, which are carried at cost. 

Unrealized valuation gains or losses on trading securities are charged to operations and those resulting from available-for-sale securities are charged to accumulated other comprehensive income and expense, the accumulated amount of which shall be charged to operations when the related securities are sold, or when an impairment loss on the securities is recognized. Impairment losses are recognized in the statement of income when the recoverable amounts are less than the acquisition cost of securities or adjusted cost of debt securities for the amortization of discounts or premiums.

If the realizable value subsequently recovers, in case of a security stated at fair value, the increase in value is recorded in current operations, up to the amount of the previously recognized impairment loss, while for the security stated at amortized cost or acquisition cost, the increase in value is recorded in current operation, so that its recovered value does not exceed what its amortized cost would be as of the recovery date if there had been no impairment loss.

Privately placed funds among beneficial certificates are accounted for as if the assets included were actually owned by the Company. When these funds are not managed by a guideline set by the Company and are substantially different from the assets actually owned by the Company, the funds are accounted for as non-specific investment funds managed by third parties.

Equity Method Investments

In the consolidated financial statements of the Company, investments in business entities in which the Company has control or the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the original investment is recorded at cost and adjusted by the Company's share in the net book value of the investee with a corresponding charge to current operations, a separate component of shareholders´ equity, or retained earnings, depending on the nature of the underlying change in the net book value. All significant unrealized profits resulting from intercompany transactions of property and equipment have been eliminated.

  After computing the difference between the cost of the investment and the share of investee's net value of the identifiable assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition, any residual cost over (under) fair value of the net identifiable assets and liabilities is assigned to the unidentifiable asset, goodwill (or the unidentifiable liabilities, negative goodwill), which are recorded as part of investments and are amortized over five years using the straight-line method. However, differences which occur from additional investments or investment of associates made after the Company has control in its subsidiaries are recognized as capital surplus or capital adjustments.

Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign investees are translated at current exchange rates, while income and expense are translated at average rates for the period. Adjustments resulting from the translation process are reported in a separate component of shareholders' equity, and are not included in the determination of the results of operations.

Structured Securities and Structured Securities Sold

Equity-linked securities are recorded as assets at the purchase price, and equity linked securities sold are recorded as a liability at the issuance price. Gains or losses upon redemption are recorded as a gain or loss on the redemption, and the difference with the estimated value and the book value at the balance sheet date is recorded as a gain or loss on valuation.

Derivative Instruments

Derivative instruments for trading or hedging purpose are recorded as assets and liabilities at a fair value. And unrealized gain and loss resulting from changes in the market or fair value of such instruments are reported as current operations except for the effective portion of derivative transactions entered into for the purpose of cash-flow hedges, recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income under shareholders' equity. 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Regulation on Financial Investment Business prescribed by the Financial Investment Business and Capital Market Act provides guidelines for calculating the allowance for doubtful accounts. These guidelines require the minimum level of allowances that securities firms should maintain. These guidelines require that all loans and receivables should be classified based on a number of factors including the financial position of the debtors, the repayment history, the Company's past relationship and dealings with the debtors and the value of any security interest. In accordance with these guidelines, loans and receivables have been classified as normal, precautionary, substandard, doubtful and estimated loss.

  Loans which are modified during the court receivership, court mediation or restructuring of customers are revalued at the present value discounted by the effective interest rate at the inception of the debt. The difference between the book value and the readjusted value is offset against the provision for possible loan losses, and the remaining difference is recognized as bad debts expense in the year incurred. The difference between the book value (nominal value) and the present value is amortized using the effective interest rate method and is recorded as interest income.

Property and Equipment, and Intangible assets

Property and equipment are stated at cost, except for certain assets subject to upward revaluation in accordance with the Asset Revaluation Law of Korea. The revaluation presents production facilities and other buildings at their depreciated replacement cost, and land at the prevailing market price, as of the effective date of revaluation.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Assets

Estimated useful lives (years)

Buildings

40

Vehicles

4~5

Furniture and equipment

4~5

Intangible assets are stated at cost, net of amortization calculated using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Maintenance and Repairs

Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures which enhance the value or extend the useful life of the related asset are capitalized.

Securities Sold under Repurchase Agreements 

Under the repurchase agreements, the Company records securities sold under repurchase agreements at the amount of securities sold. Also the Company records the difference between the repurchase price and the price of the securities sold as interest expense. 

Meanwhile under the resale agreements, the securities purchased under resale agreements are stated at acquisition cost. The Company records the difference between the securities resale price and acquisition cost as interest income.

  Securities Sold

If securities are borrowed from Korea Securities Finance Corporation, the Company presents the borrowed securities in the balance sheet. In addition, if the related securities are sold, the Company recognized securities sold as liability in the balance sheet.

Discounts and Premiums on Debentures

The difference between the face value and the proceeds on issuance of the debenture is treated as either a discount or premium on the debenture, which is amortized over the term of the debenture using the effective interest rate method. The discount or premium is reported as a direct deduction from or addition to the face value of the debenture in the balance sheet. Amortization of the discount or premium is treated as part of interest expense.

Accrued Severance Benefits 

Employees and directors with at least one year of service are entitled to receive a lump-sum payment upon termination of their employment with the Company based on their length of service and rate of pay at the time of termination. Accrued severance benefits represent the amount which would be payable assuming all eligible employees and directors were to terminate their employment as of the balance sheet date. 

For defined contribution pension plan, the Company recognizes as expense the severance benefits provided for the period.

The Company has a defined benefit pension plan, and accrues severance benefits for current employees and pension payables for retired employees.

Pension plan assets are presented as a deduction from the total accrued severance benefits and pension payables. The excess of pension plan assets over pension plan liabilities is recorded as investment assets.

Leases 

The Company accounts for lease transactions as either operating lease or finance lease, depending on the terms of the lease agreement. A finance lease is a lease that transfers substantially most of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset, while an operating lease is a lease other than a finance lease. In addition, the lesser between the present value of minimum lease payments and the fair value of the lease asset is recognized as the value of the finance lease asset or liability. The costs incurred during lease inception process are also recognized as part of other finance lease cost.

  Annual minimum lease payments, excluding residual value, are allocated to interest expense or for the redemption of finance lease liability using the effective interest method.

Machinery and equipment acquired under finance lease agreements are recorded as property and equipment at cost and depreciated using the same depreciation method as that of other similar assets held by the Company. If it is certain that the Company is expected to obtain ownership of the lease asset upon or before maturity of the lease term, the lease asset is depreciated over its useful life. Otherwise, it is depreciated over its useful life or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. The acquisition cost of the lease asset, less any expected or guaranteed residual value, is subject to depreciation. 

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Korean won at the rate of exchange in effect as of the balance sheet date. Gains and losses resulting from the translation are reflected as either income or expense for the period.

Translation of Foreign Operations 

Accounts of foreign subsidiaries are maintained in the currencies of the countries in which they operate. In translating the foreign currency financial statements of these subsidiaries into Korean won, income and expenses are translated at the average rate for the year, while assets and liabilities are translated at the rate prevailing on the balance sheet date. Resulting translation gains or losses are recorded as a cumulative translation adjustment presented as part of shareholders' equity.

Treasury Stock

Treasury stock is stated at cost. Gain on disposal of treasury stock is charged to capital surplus. Loss on disposal of treasury stock is first offset against gain on disposal of treasury stock, if any, and the remainder is charged to capital adjustment, a component of shareholders' equity. 

Deferred Income Tax Assets and Liabilities

The Company recognizes deferred income taxes for anticipated future tax consequences resulting from temporary differences between amounts reported for financial reporting and income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed on such temporary differences, including available net operating loss carry forwards and tax credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to the years when such differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is more likely that such deferred tax assets will be realized. The total income tax provision includes the current tax expense under applicable tax regulations and the change in the balances of deferred tax assets and liabilities during the year.

  Trust Account

The Company accounts for the trust assets separately from other assets. In terms of operating, managing and disposing of the trust assets among the trust accounts, the Company records as operating revenues the fees it earns from trust accounts.

Provisions and Contingent Liabilities

When there is a probability that an outflow of economic benefits will occur due to a present obligation resulting from a past event, and whose amount is reasonably estimable, a corresponding amount of provision is recognized in the consolidated financial statements. However, when such outflow is dependent upon a future event, is not certain to occur, or cannot be reliably estimated, a disclosure regarding the contingent liability is made in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share are computed based on earnings available to common shareholders, using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.

Realization of the future tax benefits related to the deferred tax assets is dependent on many factors, including the Company's ability to generate taxable income within the period during which the temporary differences reverse, the outlook of the Korean economic environment, and the overall future industry outlook. Management periodically considers these factors in reaching its conclusion and recognized the deferred income tax asset since all the future (deductible) tax benefits are determined to be realizable as of March 31, 2009.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities by applying enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The enacted income tax rates are 24.2% and 22% for 2009, and 2010 and thereafter, respectively. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as of March 31, 2009, decreased by 1 million and 7,425 million, respectively, compared to the amount computed at statutory income tax rate of 27.5% for 2008.

As of March 31, 2009, income tax refund receivable amounts to 9,302 million, while the income tax payable amounts to 98 million.
