      emerging economies’ growth. In Asia, the economic growth is slowing down due to the economic slowdown in Europe and the
      US and sluggish domestic demand.
      In Japan, however, despite concerns over the decline in overseas economies, production activities and individual consumption
      seem to be improving due primarily to reconstruction demands, and the Japanese economy is gradually recovering.
      In such environment, the Group is engaged in primarily online game business, as well as mobile game business and other
      businesses, and has been striving to provide wide range of customers with high quality services and to build or acquire excellent
      contents to accommodate diversifying needs of users through updating existing game titles and distributing new game titles.
      As a result of our efforts, we recorded net sales of ¥53,253 million, operating income of ¥28,063 million, ordinary income of
      ¥27,045 million and net income of ¥19,146 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012.
      Performance results by reportable segments are as follows:
      (a) Japan
      In Japan, while sales from game titles such as “Tales Weaver,” “Counter-Strike Online,” and “Sudden Attack” continued to
      show steady growth, sales from some of the other titles decreased. As a result, net sales amounted to ¥5,917 million and segment
      income amounted to ¥455 million.
      (b) Korea
      In Korea, steady growth of sales from “Sudden Attack” and an increase in royalty income due to significant increase in sales
      from “Dungeon&Fighter” in China contributed to net sales of ¥41,879 million and segment income of ¥26,264 million.
      (c) China
      In China, an increase in consulting income as a result of growth of the online game market in China contributed to net sales of
      ¥2,002 million and segment income of ¥1,360 million.
      (d) North America
      In North America, the delay in update as a consequence of the hacking attempt to “Maple Story” at the end of the previous
      consolidated fiscal year resulted in net sales of ¥2,496 million and segment loss of ¥244 million.
      (e) Other
      In other areas, sales slightly decreased on a year-on-year basis, and the impact of foreign exchange rates resulted in net sales of
      ¥958 million and segment income of ¥246 million.

     Not applicable.


  (2) Application of specific accounting treatments in preparing the quarterly consolidated financial statements
     Tax expenses are calculated as income before income taxes and minority interests for the quarter multiplied by the estimated
     effective tax rate. The effective tax rate is reasonably estimated taking into consideration deferred tax accounting as the rate
     applicable to income before income taxes and minority interests for the consolidated fiscal year including the quarter ended June
     30, 2012.
     Certain consolidated subsidiaries account for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2012 on a basis consistent with the
     accounting for income taxes for the fiscal year.




                                                                 -2-

   cash proceeds assumed to be received upon exercise of the stock options.

(7)Significant subsequent events

   repaid its existing loan of JPY 50,000 million obtained through a special account loan agreement executed on June 29, 2012 to
   Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation. We believe that the refinancing will lower our overall cost of funding in Japanese yen

                             and thereafter make repayments of JPY 5,000 million on the end date of every six months.
      Interest rate: 1.41%
   (3)Date of refinancing
      July 31, 2012
   (4)Future outlook
      Nexon does not expect its interest expenses to significantly increase or decrease due to the refinancing.

  • 4. 1. Qualitative information on consolidated performance results for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 (1) Qualitative information on consolidated results of operations During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the world economy showed a moderate recovery, but the outlook is uncertain because of the prolonged financial crisis in Europe, delay in economic recovery in developed countries and slowdown in emerging economies’ growth. In Asia, the economic growth is slowing down due to the economic slowdown in Europe and the US and sluggish domestic demand. In Japan, however, despite concerns over the decline in overseas economies, production activities and individual consumption seem to be improving due primarily to reconstruction demands, and the Japanese economy is gradually recovering. In such environment, the Group is engaged in primarily online game business, as well as mobile game business and other businesses, and has been striving to provide wide range of customers with high quality services and to build or acquire excellent contents to accommodate diversifying needs of users through updating existing game titles and distributing new game titles. As a result of our efforts, we recorded net sales of ¥53,253 million, operating income of ¥28,063 million, ordinary income of ¥27,045 million and net income of ¥19,146 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Performance results by reportable segments are as follows: (a) Japan In Japan, while sales from game titles such as “Tales Weaver,” “Counter-Strike Online,” and “Sudden Attack” continued to show steady growth, sales from some of the other titles decreased. As a result, net sales amounted to ¥5,917 million and segment income amounted to ¥455 million. (b) Korea In Korea, steady growth of sales from “Sudden Attack” and an increase in royalty income due to significant increase in sales from “Dungeon&Fighter” in China contributed to net sales of ¥41,879 million and segment income of ¥26,264 million. (c) China In China, an increase in consulting income as a result of growth of the online game market in China contributed to net sales of ¥2,002 million and segment income of ¥1,360 million. (d) North America In North America, the delay in update as a consequence of the hacking attempt to “Maple Story” at the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year resulted in net sales of ¥2,496 million and segment loss of ¥244 million. (e) Other In other areas, sales slightly decreased on a year-on-year basis, and the impact of foreign exchange rates resulted in net sales of ¥958 million and segment income of ¥246 million. (2) Qualitative information on consolidated financial position (a) Cash flows Cash and cash equivalent (“cash”) at June 30, 2012 was ¥105,940 million. Cash flows from each activity for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and their major components are as follows: (Cash flows from operating activities) Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to ¥23,450 million. Major components included Income before income taxes and minority interests of ¥25,737 million, Depreciation and amortization of ¥4,810 million, and Income taxes paid of ¥9,232 million. (Cash flows from investing activities) Net cash used in investing activities amounted to ¥73,131 million. Major components included an Increase in time deposits of ¥10,020 million, Purchase of stocks of subsidiaries and affiliates of ¥4,482 million, and Purchase of investment securities of ¥56,440 million. (Cash flows from financing activities) Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to ¥37,551 million. Major components included Proceeds from short-term loans payable of ¥53,125 million and Repayment of long-term loans payable of ¥17,043 million. (b) Analysis of financial position (Assets) Total assets as of June 30, 2012 totaled ¥295,793 million, an increase of ¥60,027 million from December 31, 2011. Current assets as of June 30, 2012 amounted to ¥146,297 million, a decrease of ¥4,424 million mainly due to a decrease of Cash and deposits of ¥3,389 million from December 31, 2011. -1-
  • 5. Noncurrent assets as of June 30, 2012 amounted to ¥149,495 million, an increase of ¥64,452 million due to an increase of Investment securities by ¥64,176 million from December 31, 2011. (Liabilities) Total liabilities amounted to ¥93,136 million, an increase of ¥35,257 million compared to the balance at December 31, 2011. Current liabilities at June 30, 2012 totaled ¥72,653 million, an increase of ¥48,091 million from December 31, 2011. This is mainly due to an increase of Short-term loans payable of ¥53,095 million, and a decrease of Current portion of Long-term loans payable of ¥2,828 million. Noncurrent liabilities totaled ¥20,483 million, a decrease of ¥12,833 million from December 31, 2011 due to a decrease of Long-term loans payable of ¥13,767 million. (Net assets) Net assets as of June 30, 2012 totaled ¥202,656 million, an increase of ¥24,769 million from December 31, 2011, mainly due to an increase of Retained earnings from recording Net income for the quarter of ¥19,146 million and an increase of Valuation difference on available-for-sale securities of ¥3,073 million.
