EXPLANATORY NOTE
GRAVITY Co., Ltd. (NasdaqGM: GRVY) (“Gravity” or “Company”) is furnishing this report on Form 6-K/A in order to correct the amount of equity in loss of related joint venture and partnership and the amount of investment, and corresponding line items, including net loss and total assets, in the quarterly financial statements for each quarter ended March 31, 2008, June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2008 included in the Company’s press releases contained in the Form 6-Ks furnished to the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 7, 2008, October 14, 2008 and November 17, 2008, respectively (collectively, “Original Filings”). A summary of the changes are set forth in this “explanatory note” and the portions amended in the Original Filings are set forth below in the section titled “Form 6-Ks amended and superseded.”
In the course of preparing the financial statements for 2008 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the Unites States (“US-GAAP”), the Company identified that the Company needed to recognize additional equity loss of partnership amounting to KRW 3,323 million related with its investment in Online Game Revolution Fund No. 1 (“Fund”). This Fund is operated in Japan and the objective of the Fund is to invest in business relating to online games for the benefit of all the partners. The Fund invested in games to obtain distribution right, revenue sharing right or ownership of the games. In early 2008, the Fund invested in a game under development and acquired the ownership of the game. While the Fund capitalized acquisition cost of in-process software as an intangible asset in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Japan, the Company determined that the Company needed to account for its investment in the Fund under equity method of accounting and as the investment related to purchasing in-process software prior to establishing technological feasibility, such costs should have been expensed as research and development costs when incurred rather than capitalized under US-GAAP. The above accounting treatment should have been reflected in the Company’s financial statement in the first quarter ended March 31, 2008. The second and third quarter ended should also have been revised in order to recognize the effects of exchange rate change on the additional loss above.
As a result, the Company determined that the correct amount of equity in loss of related joint venture and partnership (i) for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was KRW 3,364 million, or KRW 3,143 million greater than KRW 221 million previously reported; (ii) for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was KRW 177 million, or KRW 118 million greater than KRW 59 million previously reported ; and (iii) for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was KRW 123 million, or KRW 63 million greater than KRW 60 million previously reported, which correspondingly increased net loss amount (i) for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from KRW 1,370 million to KRW 4,514 million; and (ii) for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from KRW 665 million to KRW 782 million and decreased net income amount for the three months ended September 30, 2008 from KRW 932 million to KRW 869 million.

Forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe” “project,” or “continue” or the negative thereof or other similar words, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words.
