II. CONTENTS OF BUSINESS

1. Summary of Business

We are the number one wholesale travel agency in Korea with 27.1 market share of the tour pakage business measured in terms of the number of outbound leisure travelers originating from Korea and served by the top 30 travel agencies during 2008 according to the Korea Association of Travel Agents, or KATA. The top 30 travel agencies in Korea collectively had a market share of 60.3%, measured in terms of the number of outbound leisure travelers originating from Korea during 2008.

Our primary business consists of assembling outbound pakage tour for Korean travelers, which we sell through approximately 5,000 retail travel agencies in Korea.

Our large scale of operations enable us to negotiate favorable rates with airline carriers, hotel operators and local transportation providers. We package air tickets, hotel rooms and land services and sell them to the end-user by distributing the products through our network of retail travel agents. We also sell our products through our website at www.hanatour.com or our call centers, which sales are ultimately handled by the retail travel agents.

"Hanatour" is currently the most widely recognized travel brand name in Korea and according to a survey conducted by the Korea Management Association, we ranked number one in brand recognition in the travel agency category in Korea in the last two years.

2Market Share Rate

The market share rate of the travel business is classified based on persons and the market share rate is calculated by a number of departures. (Crews are excluded from the total departing persons)

This is based on the data announced monthly by Korea Tourism Organization (KNTO) and the passengers reported to Korea Association of Travel Agents (KATA).

3Characteristics of the market

The travel business registered in Korea is about 9,000 that takes about 80% of entire tourist companies that employees about 50,000 persons that has taken a very important role as the main vein of tourism industry. However, 80% of entire businesses are small companies with 500 million won or less of capital. In 1982, the travel business was converted into the registration system and completely liberated in 1989, brining explosive increase of small travel companies. WTO expects the world travel industry to grow 4.1% of annual average up to 2020. In Korea, with the 5-working day system and dispersed vacation system, it opens up the advanced country-type vacation time.

4. Contents and prospect of new business and others

The company has no detailed investment plan on new business as of the date of submitting this quarterly report, but it plans to strive for qualitative improvement of overseas business and services through the steady expansion of overseas local corporations.

Independent Accountant's Review Report 

on Internal Accounting Control System ("IACS")

English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Korea

To the Representative Directors of 

HANATOUR Service Inc.:

We have reviewed the accompanying Report on the Management'Assessment of IACS (the "Management's Report") of HANATOUR Service Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2008. The Management's Report, and the design and operation of IACS are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to review the Management's Report and issue a review report based on our procedures The Company's management stated in the accompanying Management's Report that "based on the assessment of the IACS as of December 31, 2008, the Company's IACS has been appropriately designed and is operating effectively as of December 31, 2008, in all material respects, in accordance with the IACS Framework established by the Korea Listed Companies Association."

We conducted our review in accordance with the IACS Review Standards established by the Korean Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and perform a review, objective of which is to obtain a lower level of assurance than an audit, of the Management's Report in all material respects.  A review includes obtaining an understanding of a company's IACS and making inquiries regarding the Management's Report and, when deemed necessary, performing a limited inspection of underlying documents and other limited procedures

A company's IACS represents internal accounting policies and a system to manage and operate such policies to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial statements prepared, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea, for the purpose of preparing and disclosing reliable accounting information. 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 of IACS 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 the Management's Report referred to above is not fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with the IACS Framework established by the Korea Listed Companies Association.

Our review is based on the Company's IACS as of December 31, 2008, and we did not review its IACS subsequent to December 31, 2008. This report has been prepared pursuant to the Acts on External Audit for Stock Companies in the Republic of Korea and may not be appropriate for other purposes or for other users.

Report on the Assessment of Internal Accounting Control System ("IACS")

To the Board of Directors and Auditor of 

HANATOUR Service Inc.:

I, as the Internal Accounting Control Officer ("IACO") of HANATOUR Service Inc. ("the Company"), assessed the status of the design and operation of the Company's IACS for the year ended December 31, 2008. 

The Company's management including IACO is responsible for designing and operating IACS. I, as the IACO, assessed whether the IACS has been appropriately designed and is effectively operating to prevent and detect any error or fraud which may cause any misstatement of the financial statements, for the purpose of preparing and disclosing reliable financial statements reporting. I, as the IACO, applied the IACS Framework established by the Korea Listed Companies Association for the assessment of design and operation of the IACS.

Based on the assessment of the IACS, the Company's IACS has been appropriately designed and is operating effectively as of December 31, 2008, in all material respects, in accordance with the IACS Framework.
