Gravity Co., Ltd. (the Company) held its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the Meeting) at its offices in Seoul, Korea on March 31, 2006.
The Meeting was held with a quorum present and the following matters were approved by the shareholders in accordance with the Korean Commercial Code and the Companys Articles of Incorporation:
|
|
the shareholders approved the Companys balance sheets and income statements (2002/2003 financial results) as of and for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, each of which has been extracted and translated into English from the original Korean language financial statements. The 2002/2003 financial results restate certain line items of the Companys previously issued financial statements to take into account: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
diversion of certain royalty payments otherwise payable to the Company but which were diverted by Mr. Jung Ryool Kim, the former Chairman of the Company (the former Chairman embezzlement); and |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
correction of errors of revenue recognition with respect to initial licensing fees, mobile revenue and animation revenue, which were unrelated to the former Chairman embezzlement (revenue recognition adjustments). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 2002/2003 financial results do not give retroactive effect to the Companys change in its depreciation policy from the declining balance method to straight line method beginning in 2005. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the shareholders approved the Companys balance sheets, income statements and statements of appropriation of retained earnings (2004/2005 financial results) as of and for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, each of which has been extracted and translated into English from the original Korean language financial statements audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Korea, or KGAAS, and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Korea, or KGAAP. The 2004/2005 financial results restate certain line items of the Companys previously issued financial statements to take into account: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the former Chairman embezzlement; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the revenue recognition adjustments; and |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the Companys change in its depreciation policy from the declining balance method to straight line method. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
the shareholders approved the appointment of four new directors (three of whom are independent directors) to replace Messrs. Kotani, Won, Lee and Deyama, each of whom resigned as a director of the Company as of March 31, 2006; and |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the shareholders approved the maximum amount of compensation payable to directors as a group for 2006. |
Furthermore, the Companys 2006 Annual Business Report was presented to the shareholders at the Meeting.

The condensed English translation version of the 2004/2005 audited financial statements is expected to be submitted to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 6-K at the same time.
