</table><div class="content-highlight">Starting with this insight, I made some changes in my calculation of NAV. I estimated each holding company's operating operation based on their latest de-consolidated operating profit. It is mostly brand royalty and office rental income. I used operating profit to exclude dividend income.</div>The revised NAV discount calculations show that they are trading mostly within a 50~60% discount to the NAV. The largest discount goes to Samsung C&amp;T, while CJ Corp enjoys the lowest discount to its NAV. Kolmar Korea Holdings features a 53.41% discount to the NAV. It is a two-subsidiary holding company as they account for 89.85% of the NAV.<table class="table table-striped">

Starting with this insight, I made some changes in my calculation of NAV. I estimated each holding company's operating operation based on their latest de-consolidated operating profit. It is mostly brand royalty and office rental income. I used operating profit to exclude dividend income.The revised NAV discount calculations show that they are trading mostly within a 50~60% discount to the NAV. The largest discount goes to Samsung C&amp;T, while CJ Corp enjoys the lowest discount to its NAV. Kolmar Korea Holdings features a 53.41% discount to the NAV. It is a two-subsidiary holding company as they account for 89.85% of the NAV.
