SEOUL, South Korea, July 28 -- Gravity Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq: GRVY), an online game developer and distributor, today announced that it does not expect to be able to achieve the earnings targets for the second quarter of 2005 and fiscal year 2005 as previously announced to the market. David W. Yoon, CEO at Gravity, commented “We have come to realize that our FY 2005 revenue target of US$75.1 million and a pre-tax target of US$33.2 million will be difficult to meet primarily due to the following reasons: increased competition in key markets for Ragnarok Online, lower than expected Ragnarok Online update results in Korea, and delayed commercialization and unfavorable market conditions for R.O.S.E. Online.” About Gravity Co. Ltd. Based in Korea, Gravity is a developer and distributor of online games in Taiwan, Thailand and Korea. The Company's principal product, Ragnarok Online, is currently commercially offered in 20 markets. For more information visit www.gravity.co.kr.
