Revenues Revenue for second quarter ended June 30, 2006 was KRW 6.4
billion, representing a 23% increase from first quarter of 2006.
This increase was primarily due to the stabilization of our game MU
in Korea and the increase of overseas royalty revenue related to
the commercialization of MU in Vietnam and US. Overseas revenue
increased more than the domestic revenue. Domestic revenue
increased 6% to 4.6 billion KRW. And this resulted from the
stabilization of MU since 4th quarter of 2005. Overseas revenue
increased 115% to 1.8 billion KRW, due to the revenue from the
commercialization of MU in Vietnam and the US. Other revenue which
is related with mobile revenue decreased 36% from 1st quarter.
Currently, domestic and overseas revenue consist of 72% and 28%
respectively of the total revenue. Among the domestic revenue,
individual subscription revenue increased 8% to 3.4 billion KRW,
and internet cafe revenue was 1.1billion KRW, which was similar to
last quarter. Overseas revenue increased 115% QoQ. Regionally,
Philippines increased by a large percentage, recording 120 million
KRW. China and Japan showed a 4% decrease and recorded 59 million
KRW and 487 million KRW respectively. Revenue from Vietnam and the
US was generated from the commercial launch of MU during April. We
recognized 345 million and 511 million KRW respectively. Overseas
revenue has shown a sign of stabilization and the commercial launch
of MU in Vietnam and US are expected to contribute to the
stabilization. Operating Expenses Total operating expenses
increased 50% to KRW 17.3 billion due to the E3 game show expense
and SUN open beta marketing expense. Labor costs was KRW 6.7
billion which increased 3.7% from previous quarter. Labor costs
account for 38% of total operating costs. Depreciation increased
30% to KRW 755 million related to the addition of new servers for
the new service of games. Commission paid increased 77% from
previous quarter due to the increase of agency business fee and
outsourcing fee, and was KRW 1.9 billion. Marketing expenses
increased 584% to 5.2 billion KRW. The increase was due to the E3
Game Expo and marketing related to our new game SUN. Sales
Commission decreased 3% due to the decrease of internet cafe
revenue to 187 million KRW. Other costs were KRW 2.5 billion and
was similar to previous quarter. We recognized a negative KRW 453
million non-operating income during 2nd quarter. Interest income
increased 2%.As of end of 2nd quarter, cash and cash equivalents,
including marketable securities was KRW 101.9 billion. KRW 9.9
billion decreased from previous quarter. (end of Q1: KRW 111.8
billion) We experienced a KRW 1.6 billion loss in equity method. We
recognized an equity gain in Webzen China due to the profit related
to a service contract for Kingdom of Warriors. Webzen America's
equity loss increased due to the adjustment (write-off) of deferred
income tax. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act Safe Harbor
