Based on these unaudited results of operations which were prepared in accordance with Korean GAAP on a non-consolidated basis, revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was 7.0 billion Korean won (US$6.1 million), compared to 6.8 billion Korean won (US$6.0 million) in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, and 3.6 billion Korean won (US$3.1 million) in the third quarter of fiscal 2009.

Net income in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was 1.6 billion Korean won (US$1.4 million), or a net income of 470 Korean won (US$0.41) per diluted ADS, compared to a net income of 0.7 billion Korean won (US$0.6 million), or a net income of 213 Korean won (US$0.19) per diluted ADS, in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, and a net income of 0.17 billion Korean won (US$0.15 million), or a net income of 51 Korean won (US$0.04) per diluted ADS, in the third quarter of fiscal 2009.
