In order to establish solid internal control systems, the Group will promote strengthening its compliance systems by establishing a business structure that will enable the Group to identify issues of concern at an early stage, adopt the amended regulations for international standard regarding the soundness of banks, or “Basel II”, and further strengthen disclosure and internal control practices in compliance with the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

In promoting corporate social responsibility (CSR), the Group will particularly emphasize and focus on five different themes--involvement in environmental awareness, supporting financial education, enhancement of corporate governance, implementation of highly-responsive communications and promotion of group-wide approach to CSR--all of which are significant themes in order for the Group to coexist and develop with the community. In supporting financial education, we will make appropriate and extensive contributions towards helping primary, secondary, and high school students.

In our efforts to become “a financial partner that helps customers shape their future and achieve their dreams” (an ideal implicit in the Group’s unified brand slogan, “Channel to Discovery”), the Group will work to further improve our corporate value by faithfully implementing the Business Portfolio Strategy and Corporate Management Strategy, so as to enhance our competitiveness and profitability, and to fulfill our social responsibilities and public duties.

3. CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITIONS

(1) Results of Operations

(a) Financial and Economic Environment

Looking back over the global economic climate during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, the overall trend in the worldwide economy, including the U.S., Europe and Asia, was improving steadily as a whole. The Japanese economy showed sustained growth, supported by robust exports and continuous strength in capital expenditures against a backdrop of steady improvement in corporate performance. Consumer prices remained positive with a rise in domestic corporate goods prices due to stronger global commodity markets. To that end, the Bank of Japan, meanwhile, decided to follow-up on its ending of zero interest rates in July 2006 by raising the operating target of money market operations (the uncollateralized overnight call rate) by another 0.25% to around 0.5%, in February 2007.

As for the Japanese financial and capital markets, stock prices held firm backed by robust corporate performance. In spite of a temporary rise in long-term interest rates early in the fiscal year in the wake of the lifting of the quantitative easing policy, rates remained on a downward trend during the latter half of the period in response to the declining trend in U.S. interest rates, etc.

Financial institutions continue to develop individual strategies utilizing their respective strengths to the full. In response to the changing economic environment, the Group’s ability to secure a competitive edge over our rivals and to consolidate profitability even further are likely to become ever more important.

(b) Outline of Results of Operations (Please refer to page 3-1 in “Selected Financial Information”)

The Group has deployed various measures based on our group business strategy, “Channel to Discovery” Plan, and has further boosted the Group’s comprehensive profitability centered on income from Customer Groups. In July of last year we fully repaid the public funds provided to us, and in November we listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). We are placing an emphasis on ensuring a firm management base for further growth of the Group , including by strengthening the internal controls relating to our financial reporting.

Consolidated Gross Profits: Consolidated Gross Profits for fiscal 2006 were ¥2,117.3 billion, increasing by ¥114.9 billion from the previous fiscal year.

Net Interest Income was ¥1,090.2 billion, increasing by ¥27.6 billion from the previous fiscal year, partly due to increased interest income from the Customer Groups. While Net Fee and Commission Income was ¥551.1 billion, decreasing by ¥4.8 billion from the previous fiscal year, fee and commission income from the Customer Groups of the group banking subsidiaries and a trust banking subsidiary showed a steady increase. Net Trading Income and Net Other Operating Income increased by ¥56.6 billion and ¥47.4 billion, respectively, from the previous fiscal year. Market-related income increased, helped by the disposition of Unrealized Losses on our bonds portfolio of ¥138.5 billion and others in the previous fiscal year. However, the group securities company subsidiaries showed a decline in equity-related income.

General and Administrative Expenses: General and Administrative Expenses for fiscal 2006 amounted to ¥1,091.6 billion, decreasing by ¥3.6 billion from the previous fiscal year. This resulted from the outlay on “Strategic Expenses” aimed at increasing top-line profits being more than offset by reductions in base expenses, especially IT-related expenses, as well as in Expenses related to Employee Retirement Benefits and other factors.

Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

 

Credit-related Costs: Credit-related Costs for fiscal 2006 amounted to ¥40.1 billion, increasing by ¥93.4 billion from the previous fiscal year, mainly due to the worsening business performance of certain client non-bank financial companies.

Net Gains /Losses related to Stocks and Equity in Income from Investments in Affiliates and Other: Net Gains/Losses related to Stocks amounted to a loss of ¥109.5 billion in spite of market-related gains and gains on alternative investments (stock-related) which were made as part of an attempt at diversification of profit sources of market-related income, and others. This was because of the losses on devaluation of stocks of certain client non-bank financial companies as a result of their worsening business performance, and others. Equity in Income from Investments in Affiliates amounted to ¥9.3 billion.

We recorded a loss of ¥34.7 billion, down ¥107.3 billion from the previous fiscal year, partly due to the review of the bond portfolio and recognition of losses in the previous fiscal year.

Ordinary Profits: After reflecting the above, Ordinary Profits was ¥748.1 billion, decreasing by ¥172.8 billion from the previous fiscal year.

Extraordinary Gains and Losses: Net Extraordinary Gains (Losses) amounted to a gain of ¥226.7 billion, increasing by ¥167.6 billion from the previous fiscal year, as a result of partial cancellation of an employee retirement benefit trust, which was established for the payment of employees’ severance pay and retirement pensions, and others.

Taxes and Minority Interests in Net Income: Income Taxes - Current amounted to ¥43.2 billion, and Income Taxes - Deferred amounted to ¥223.6 billion.

Minority Interests in Net Income amounted to ¥86.9 billion.

Net Income: After reflecting the above, Net Income amounted to ¥620.9 billion, decreasing by ¥28.9 billion from the previous fiscal year.

(c) Segment Information

Segment information by type of business for MHFG and its consolidated subsidiaries is shown categorized under banking business (banking and trust banking business), securities business and other. The proportion of these activities accounting for Ordinary Profits before excluding inter-segment Ordinary Profits was 79.1 % for banking business, 15.8 % for securities business and 4.9 % for other.

Segment information by geographic area is categorized under Japan, the Americas, Europe and Asia/Oceania. Ordinary Income from overseas entities of ¥1,276.8 billion accounts for 31.1 % of Consolidated Ordinary Income of ¥4,099.6 billion.

(d) Estimates for Fiscal 2007 (for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008)

Earnings Estimates: As for earnings estimates for fiscal 2007, we estimate Ordinary Income of ¥4,600.0 billion, Ordinary Profits of ¥1,050.0 billion and Net Income of ¥750.0 billion on a consolidated basis.

Dividend Forecast: MHFG has proposed a year-end cash dividend payment of ¥7,000 per share of common stock for fiscal 2006. MHFG has also proposed making dividend payments on preferred stocks as prescribed.

The above estimates are based on information that is available at this moment and assumptions of factors that have an influence on future results of operations. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates, depending on future events. Please refer to forward-looking statements legend on page 1-4.

(2) Financial Conditions

(a) Assets and Liabilities

Consolidated total assets as of March 31, 2007 amounted to ¥149,880.0 billion, increasing by ¥267.2 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year.

Securities were ¥36,049.9 billion, decreasing by ¥1,652.9 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year. This reflected mainly a decrease in Japanese government bonds.

The balance of Loans and Bills Discounted amounted to ¥65,964.3 billion, increasing by ¥555.6 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year.

Consolidated balance of Disclosed Claims under the Financial Reconstruction Law amounted to ¥1,263.9 billion, increasing by ¥176.3 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year.

Net Deferred Tax Assets (the amount after netting out Deferred Tax Assets and Deferred Tax Liabilities) were ¥170.8 billion, decreasing by ¥124.9 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year as a result of recording taxable income and others, with the continued conservative assessment of asset recoverability.

Deposits amounted to ¥74,803.0 billion, increasing by ¥1,795.0 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year, mainly due to increases in deposits at overseas branches and others.

(b) Cash Flows

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities was ¥3,104.9 billion mainly due to increased market-related activity. Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities was ¥3,221.2 billion mainly due to sales and redemption of securities, and Net Cash Used in Financing Activities was ¥417.2 billion mainly due to repurchase of treasury stock.

As a result, Cash and Cash Equivalents as of March 31, 2007 was ¥3,089.0 billion.

(c) Consolidated Capital Adequacy Ratio (Preliminary)

From the end of this fiscal year, the Consolidated Capital Adequacy Ratio (BIS Capital Ratio) is calculated according to regulations promulgated pursuant to “Basel II.” Risk-based Capital amounted to ¥8,841.3 billion. This is due to the fact that while a Net Income amount was recognized, we repurchased and cancelled public funds of preferred shares amounting to ¥603.5 billion (¥600.0 billion on an issued-price basis) and there were other factors. Risk-weighted Assets amounted to ¥70,795.4 billion due to the increase in assets and further efforts to expand profits after entering into the new phase in our management strategy.

As a result, the Consolidated Capital Adequacy Ratio (Basel II BIS Capital Ratio) was 12.48 %.

(3) Basic Policy on Profit Distribution, Proposed Dividend Payment for Fiscal 2006 and Forecast Dividend Payment for Fiscal 2007

MHFG has continued to accumulate its Net Income steadily and completed the repayment of all public funds in fiscal 2006. We will place our management emphasis on ROE from the perspective of effective utilization of our capital and consider returning profits to the shareholders while maintaining and strengthening the capital base.

Based on this policy, in view of our consolidated financial results, the level of Retained Earnings and other factors, we proposed increasing the year-end cash dividend per share of common stock for fiscal 2006 by ¥3,000 from the previous fiscal year to ¥7,000. We also proposed making dividend payments on preferred stock as prescribed (i.e. a cash dividend of ¥20,000 per share for the Eleventh Series Class XI Preferred Stock and a cash dividend of ¥30,000 per share for the Thirteenth Series Class XIII Preferred Stock).

As for the dividend forecast for fiscal 2007, we estimate a dividend payment ¥10,000 per share of common stock, considering the aforementioned earnings estimates for fiscal 2007 and other factors.

Based on market conditions, our earnings trend and other factors, we will set up a limit for repurchasing our common shares and start repurchasing those shares for the purpose of, among other things, offsetting the potential dilutive effect of the conversion of the Eleventh Series Class XI Preferred Stock in consideration of the possibility that the number of shares of our common stock will increase after the commencement of the conversion period from July 1, 2008. We plan to cancel all the common shares repurchased.

The above estimates are based on information that is available at this moment and assumptions of factors that have an influence on future results of operations. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates, depending on future events. Please refer to forward-looking statements legend on page 1-4.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

 

1. Amounts less than one million yen are rounded down.

 

2. Trading transactions intended to take advantage of short-term fluctuations and arbitrage opportunities in interest rates, currency exchange rates, market prices of securities and related indices are recognized on a trade date basis and recorded in Trading Assets or Trading Liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

  Securities and other monetary claims held for trading purposes are stated at fair value at the consolidated balance sheet date. Derivative financial products, such as swaps, futures and option transactions, are stated at their fair values, assuming that such transactions were terminated and settled at the consolidated balance sheet date.

 

3. Bonds held to maturity are stated at amortized cost (straight-line method) and determined by the moving average method. Investments in non-consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates, which are not under the equity method, are stated at acquisition cost and determined by the moving average method. Other Securities which have readily determinable fair value are stated at fair value. Fair value of Japanese stocks with a quoted market price is determined based on the average quoted market price over the month preceding the consolidated balance sheet date. Fair value of securities other than Japanese stocks is determined at the quoted market price if available, or other reasonable value at the consolidated balance sheet date (cost of securities sold is calculated primarily by the moving average method). Other Securities which do not have readily determinable fair value are stated at acquisition cost or amortized cost and determined by the moving average method. The net unrealized gains on Other Securities are included directly in Net Assets, net of applicable income taxes after excluding gains and losses as a result of the fair-value hedge method.

 

4. Securities which are held as trust assets in Money Held in Trust accounts are valued in the same way as given in Note 3.

 

5. Derivative transactions (other than transactions for trading purposes) are valued at fair value.

 

6. Depreciation of buildings is computed mainly by the straight-line method, and that of equipment is computed mainly by the declining-balance method, and the applicable share of estimated annual depreciation costs for the period is recorded based on the following range of useful lives.

Buildings:        3 years to 50 years

Equipment:      2 years to 20 years

 

7. Amortization of Intangible Fixed Assets is computed by the straight-line method. Development costs for internally-used software are capitalized and amortized over their estimated useful lives of mainly five years as determined by MHFG and consolidated subsidiaries.

 

8. Deferred assets are treated as follows:

 

  (1) Bond issuance costs are expensed as incurred.

 

  (2) Until the previous fiscal year, debenture issuance costs were capitalized and amortized over a certain period not exceeding the maximum period stipulated by the former Enforcement Regulations of the Commercial Code of Japan. However, in accordance with the application of the “Tentative Solution on Accounting for Deferred Assets” (the Accounting Standards Board of Japan (“ASBJ”) Report No. 19, August 11, 2006) effective from the fiscal year ending upon or after the public announcement of such, MHFG adopted the new accounting standard commencing with this fiscal year. The effect of the change mentioned above on the consolidated balance sheet is immaterial. Debenture issuance costs booked on the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2006 are amortized under the straight-line method within a certain period by applying the previous accounting method based on the tentative measure stipulated in the ASBJ report.

 

1-17


Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

 

  (3) Until the previous fiscal year, bond discounts and debenture discounts were capitalized and amortized under the straight-line method over the term of the bonds and debentures. However, in accordance with the partial revision of “Accounting Standards for Financial Instruments” (the Business Accounting Deliberation Council, January 22, 1999) as of August 11, 2006 (ASBJ Statement No. 10) and the application effective from the fiscal year ending upon or after the public announcement of such, MHFG adopted the revised accounting standard commencing with this fiscal year, and bonds and debentures were stated at amortized cost (straight-line method). The effect of this application on the consolidated balance sheet is immaterial. Bond discounts and debenture discounts booked on the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2006 are amortized under the straight-line method over the term of the bond and debenture by applying the previous accounting method and the unamortized balance is directly deducted from bonds and debentures, based on the tentative measure stipulated in the “Tentative Solution on Accounting for Deferred Assets” (ASBJ Report No. 19, August 11, 2006).

 

9. Assets and Liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and accounts of overseas branches of domestic consolidated banking subsidiaries and a domestic consolidated trust banking subsidiary are translated into Japanese yen primarily at the exchange rates in effect at the consolidated balance sheet date, with the exception of the investments in non-consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates not under the equity method, which are translated at historical exchange rates.

 

     Assets and Liabilities denominated in foreign currencies of the consolidated subsidiaries, except for the transactions mentioned above, are translated into Japanese yen primarily at the exchange rates in effect at the consolidated balance sheet dates.

 

10. Reserves for Possible Losses on Loans of major domestic consolidated subsidiaries are maintained in accordance with internally established standards for write-offs and reserve provisions.

 

     For claims extended to obligors that are legally bankrupt under the Bankruptcy Law, Special Liquidation under the Company Law or other similar laws (“Bankrupt Obligors”), and to obligors that are effectively in similar conditions (“Substantially Bankrupt Obligors”), reserves are maintained at the amounts of claims net of direct write-offs described below and expected amounts recoverable from the disposition of collateral and the amounts recoverable under guarantees. For claims extended to obligors that are not yet legally or formally bankrupt but are likely to be bankrupt (“Intensive Control Obligors”), reserves are maintained at the amounts deemed necessary based on overall solvency analyses of the amounts of claims net of expected amounts recoverable from the disposition of collateral and the amounts recoverable under guarantees.

 

     For claims extended to Intensive Control Obligors and Obligors with Restructured Loans (defined in Note 29 below) and others, if the exposure to an obligor exceeds a certain specific amount, reserves are provided as follows: (i) if future cash flows of the principal and interest can be reasonably estimated, the discounted cash flow method is applied, under which the reserve is determined as the difference between the book value of the loan and its present value of future cash flows discounted using the contractual interest rate before the loan was classified as a Restructured Loan, and (ii) if future cash flows of the principal and interest cannot be reasonably estimated, reserves are provided for the losses estimated for each individual loan.

 

     For claims extended to other obligors, reserves are maintained at rates derived from historical credit loss experience and other factors. Reserve for Possible Losses on Loans to Restructuring Countries are maintained in order to cover possible losses based on analyses of the political and economic climates of the countries

 

     All claims are assessed by each claim origination department in accordance with the internally established “Self-assessment Standard,” and the results of the assessments are verified and examined by the independent examination departments. Reserves for Possible Losses on Loans are provided for on the basis of such verified assessments.

 

     In the case of claims to Bankrupt Obligors and Substantially Bankrupt Obligors, which are collateralized or guaranteed by a third party, the amounts deemed uncollectible (calculated by deducting the anticipated proceeds from the sale of collateral pledged against the claims and amounts that are expected to be recovered from guarantors of the claims) are written off against the respective claims balances. The total directly written-off amount was ¥536,916 million.

 

  The claims above include corporate bonds which are guaranteed by domestic consolidated banking subsidiaries and are issued by private placement (Article 2 Paragraph 3 of the Securities and Exchange Law) and others in securities.

 

     Other consolidated subsidiaries provide the amount necessary to cover the loan losses based upon past experience and other factors for general claims and the assessment for each individual loan for other claims.

 

1-18


Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

 

11. Reserve for Possible Losses on Investments is maintained to provide against possible losses on investments in securities, after taking into consideration the financial condition and other factors concerning the investee company.

 

12. Reserve for Bonus Payments, which is provided for future bonus payments to employees, is maintained at the amount accrued at the end of the fiscal year, based on the estimated future payments.

 

13. Reserve for Employee Retirement Benefits (including Prepaid Pension Cost), which is provided for future benefit payments to employees, is recorded as the required amount, based on the projected benefit obligation and the estimated plan asset amounts at the end of the fiscal year. Unrecognized actuarial differences are recognized as income or expenses from the following fiscal year under the straight-line method over a certain term within the average remaining service period of the employees of the respective fiscal year.

 

14. Until the previous fiscal year, MHFG and certain domestic consolidated subsidiaries recognized director and corporate auditor retirement benefits as expenses at the time of payment. However, in accordance with the public announcement of the “Accounting Standard for Directors’ Bonus” (ASBJ Statement No. 4, November 29, 2005) and the “Auditing Treatment relating to Reserve defined under the Special Tax Measurement Law, Reserve defined under the Special Law and Reserve for Director and Corporate Auditor Retirement Benefits” (The Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“JICPA”) Auditing and Assurance Practice Committee Report No. 42, April 13, 2007), these benefits are recorded as Reserve for Director and Corporate Auditor Retirement Benefits at the required amount at the end of the fiscal year, based on internally established standards. As a result, Ordinary Profits and Income before Income Taxes and Minority Interests, both decreased by ¥5,788 million, compared with the corresponding amounts under the previously applied method.

 

15. Reserve for Contingencies is maintained to provide against possible losses from contingencies, which are not covered by other specific reserves in off-balance transactions, trust transactions and others. The balance is an estimate of possible future losses, on an individual basis, considered to require a reserve.

 

16. Finance leases of MHFG and domestic consolidated subsidiaries that do not involve transfer of ownership to the lessee are accounted for as operating leases.

 

1-19


Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

 

17. Consolidated subsidiaries apply the deferred method, the fair-value hedge method or the exceptional accrual method for interest rate swaps as hedge accounting methods.

 

     The portfolio hedge for large volume of small-value monetary claims and liabilities of domestic consolidated banking subsidiaries and domestic consolidated trust banking subsidiaries is accounted for by the method stipulated in the “Accounting and Auditing Treatment relating to Adoption of Accounting Standards for Financial Instruments for Banks” (JICPA Industry Audit Committee Report No.24).

 

     The effectiveness of hedging activities for the portfolio hedge for large volume of small-value monetary claims and liabilities is assessed as follows:

 

  (i) as for hedging activities to offset market fluctuation risks, the effectiveness is assessed by bracketing both the hedged instruments, such as deposits and loans, and the hedging instruments, such as interest-rate swaps, in the same maturity bucket.

 

  (ii) as for hedging activities to fix the cash flows, the effectiveness is assessed based on the correlation between a base interest rate index of the hedged cash flow and that of the hedging instrument.

 

     The effectiveness of the individual hedge is assessed based on the correlation between the fluctuation in the market or cash flows of the hedged instruments and that of the hedging instruments.

 

     Net Deferred Hedge Losses, net of Taxes recorded on the consolidated balance sheet resulted from the application of the macro-hedge method based on the “Tentative Accounting and Auditing Treatment relating to Adoption of Accounting Standards for Financial Instruments for Banks” (JICPA Industry Audit Committee Report No.15), under which the overall interest rate risks inherent in loans, deposits and others are controlled on a macro-basis using derivatives transactions. These deferred hedge gains/losses are amortized as interest income or interest expenses over the remaining maturity and average remaining maturity of the respective hedging instruments. The unamortized amounts of gross deferred hedge losses and gross deferred hedge gains on the macro-hedges, before net of applicable income taxes, at the end of the fiscal year were ¥241,602 million and ¥229,553 million, respectively.

 

18. Domestic consolidated banking subsidiaries and a domestic consolidated trust banking subsidiary apply the deferred method of hedge accounting to hedge foreign exchange risks associated with various financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as stipulated in the “Accounting and Auditing Treatment relating to Adoption of Accounting Standards for Foreign Currency Transactions for Banks” (JICPA Industry Audit Committee Report No.25). The effectiveness of the hedge is assessed by confirming both the amount for the foreign currency position of the hedging instruments of currency-swap transactions, exchange swap transactions and similar transactions as the method of hedging the foreign exchange risks of monetary claims and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and the amount for the foreign currency position of the hedged monetary claims and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are equivalent.

 

  In addition to the above methods, these subsidiaries apply the deferred method or the fair-value hedge method to portfolio hedges of the foreign exchange risks associated with investments in subsidiaries and affiliates in foreign currency and Other Securities in foreign currency (except for bonds) identified as hedged items in advance, as long as the amount of foreign currency payables of spot and forward foreign exchange contracts exceeds the amount of acquisition cost of the hedged foreign securities in foreign currency.

 

19. Inter-company interest rate swaps, currency swaps and similar derivatives among consolidated companies or between trading accounts and other accounts, which are designated as hedges, are not eliminated and related gains and losses are recognized in the statement of income or deferred under hedge accounting, because these inter-company derivatives are executed according to the criteria for appropriate outside third-party cover operations which are treated as hedge transactions objectively in accordance with JICPA Industry Audit Committee Reports Nos. 24 and 25.

 

20. With respect to MHFG and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries, Japanese consumption taxes and local consumption taxes are excluded from transaction amounts.

 

21. Reserves under Special Laws are recorded as follows:

    Reserve for Contingent Liabilities from Futures Transactions:            ¥104 million

        This reserve is maintained pursuant to Article 51 of the Securities and Exchange Law.

    Revaluation date: March 31, 1998

 

     Revaluation method as stated in Article 3 Paragraph 3 of the above law: Land used for business operations was revalued by calculating the value on the basis of the valuation by road rating stipulated in Article 2 Paragraph 4 of the Enforcement Ordinance relating to the Land Revaluation Law (Government Ordinance No.119 promulgated on March 31, 1998) with reasonable adjustments to compensate for sites with long depth and other factors, and also on the basis of the appraisal valuation stipulated in Paragraph 5.

37. The principal amounts of money trusts and loan trusts with contracts indemnifying the principal amounts, which are entrusted to domestic consolidated trust banking subsidiaries, were ¥987,910 million and ¥172,055 million, respectively.

 

38. Net Assets per share of common stock:         ¥336,937.64

 

   “Guidance for Accounting Standards for Net Earning per Share” (ASBJ Guidance No.4, September 25, 2002) revised on January 31, 2006 took effect as of the fiscal year that ended upon or after the enforcement of the Company Law.

   Net Unrealized Gains include ¥3,935 million, which was recognized in the statement of income by applying the fair-value hedge method. As a result, the base amount to be recorded directly to Net Assets was ¥2,437,185 million and ¥1,550,515 million of the amount after the following adjustments were included in Net Unrealized Gains on Other Securities, net of Taxes:

 

Difference between acquisition cost and fair value:

   ¥2,437,185 million

Deferred Tax Assets:

   341 million

Less: Deferred Tax Liabilities:

   (836,509) million

Less: Amount corresponding to Minority Interests:

   (56,609) million

Amount corresponding to Net Unrealized Gains on Other Securities owned by affiliates under the equity method, which corresponds to the holding share of the Group:

   6,107 million
    

Amount included in Net Unrealized Gains on Other Securities, net of Taxes:

   ¥1,550,515 million

 

   Certain Other Securities which have readily determinable fair value are devalued to the fair value, and the difference between the acquisition cost and the fair value is treated as the loss for the fiscal year (“devaluation”), if the fair value (primarily the closing market price at the consolidated balance sheet date) has significantly deteriorated compared with the acquisition cost (including amortized cost), and unless it is deemed that there is a possibility of a recovery in the fair value. The amount of devaluation for the fiscal year was ¥3,247 million.

 

   The criteria for determining whether a security’s fair value has “significantly deteriorated” are outlined as follows:

 

     Securities whose fair value is 50% or less of the acquisition cost

 

    Securities whose fair value exceeds 50% but is 70% or less of the acquisition cost and the quoted market price maintains a certain level or lower

44. Unsecured securities loaned that allow borrowers to sell amounted to ¥5,093 million and were included in trading securities under Trading Assets.

 

     A portion of unsecured borrowed securities, securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowed with cash collateral have the right to sell or repledge. Among them, the total of securities repledged was ¥8,769,615 million, securities re-loaned was ¥262 million and securities neither repledged nor re-loaned was ¥5,528,908 million, respectively.

 

45. Overdraft protection on current accounts and contracts for the commitment line for loans are contracts by which banking subsidiaries are bound to extend loans up to the prearranged amount, at the request of customers, unless the customer is in breach of contract conditions. The unutilized balance of these contracts amounted to ¥53,899,937 million. Of this amount, ¥44,504,074 million relates to contracts in which the original contractual maturity is one year or less, or which are unconditionally cancelable at any time.

 

  Since many of these contracts expire without being exercised, the unutilized balance itself does not necessarily affect future cash flows. A provision is included in many of these contracts that entitles the banking subsidiaries to refuse the execution of loans, or reduce the maximum amount under contracts when there is a change in the financial situation, necessity to preserve a claim or other similar reasons. The banking subsidiaries obtain, moreover, real estate, securities or others as collateral at the time the contract is entered into, if needed, and periodically monitor customers’ business conditions, based on and in accordance with internally established standards, and take measures to control credit risks such as amendments to contracts, if needed.

In accordance with the application of the revised “Banking Law Enforcement Regulations” commencing with the fiscal year beginning on or after April 1, 2006, presentation of account items has been changed as follows:

 

  (1) Former “Shareholders’ Equity” is presented as “Net Assets” and classified into “Shareholders’ Equity,” “Valuation and Translation Adjustments” and “Minority Interests.”

 

       The amount corresponding to former “Shareholders’ Equity” as of the end of this fiscal year was ¥5,022,335 million.

 

  (2) The net realized and unrealized losses from hedging instruments formerly included in “Other Assets” as deferred hedge losses are presented as “Net Deferred Hedge Losses, net of Taxes” included in Valuation and Translation Adjustments, net of applicable income taxes.

 

  (3) “Minority Interests” formerly listed after Liabilities is included in Net Assets.

 

  (4) Former “Premises and Equipment” is classified into “Tangible Fixed Assets,” “Intangible Fixed Assets” and “Other Assets.”

 

  (a) As a result, building, land and equipment formerly included in “Premises and Equipment” are presented as “Buildings,” “Land” and “Other Tangible Fixed Assets” included in “Tangible Fixed Assets,” and suspense payment for construction formerly included in the said account is presented as “Construction in Progress” included in “Tangible Fixed Assets.”

 

       In addition, premium of “guarantee deposits and premium” formerly included in “Premises and Equipment” is presented in “Other Intangible Fixed Assets” included in “Intangible Fixed Assets,” and guarantee deposits are presented in “Other Assets.”

 

  (b) Software and other items formerly included in “Other Assets” are presented in “Software” and “Other Intangible Fixed Assets” included in “Intangible Fixed Assets.”

 

  (5) Amortization of consolidation differences formerly recognized as “Other” under “Other Ordinary Expenses” is included as amortization of intangible fixed assets in “General and Administrative Expenses” under “Ordinary Expenses.”

 

48. In response to the “Practical Solution on Application of Control Criteria and Influence Criteria to Investment Associations” (ASBJ Report No. 20, September 8, 2006) effective from the fiscal year ending upon or after the public announcement, MHFG adopted the new accounting standard commencing with this fiscal year. This adoption has no effect on the consolidated balance sheet since investment associations deemed subsidiaries in the ASBJ report had already been consolidated.

Given that the revisions apply to procedures stipulated by the Company Law, MHFG has applied the above standards and guidance commencing with this fiscal year. The effect of this application on the consolidated balance sheet is immaterial.

Notes:

1. Ordinary Income and Ordinary Profits are presented in lieu of Sales and Operating Profits as utilized by non-financial companies.
2. Major components of type of business are as follows:
  (1) Banking Business: banking and trust banking business
  (2) Securities Business: securities business
  (3) Other: investment advisory business and others
3. Until the previous fiscal year, MHFG and certain domestic consolidated subsidiaries recognized director and corporate auditor retirement benefits as expenses at the time of payment. However, in accordance with the public announcement of the “Accounting Standard for Directors’ Bonus” (ASBJ Statement No. 4, November 29, 2005) and the “Auditing Treatment relating to Reserve defined under the Special Tax Measurement Law, Reserve defined under the Special Law and Reserve for Director and Corporate Auditor Retirement Benefits” (JICPA Auditing and Assurance Practice Committee Report No. 42, April 13, 2007), these benefits are recorded as Reserve for Director and Corporate Auditor Retirement Benefits at the required amount at the end of the fiscal year, based on internally established standards. As a result, Ordinary Expenses increased by ¥5,144 million, ¥506 million and ¥137 million for Banking Business, Securities Business and Other, resectively, and Ordinary Profits decreased by the same amounts for respective business, compared with the corresponding amounts under the previously applied method.

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

For Fiscal 2006

 

 

LOGO

 


Summary Results for Fiscal 2006

 


Mizuho Financial Group (“the Group”) is further enhancing comprehensive profitability centering on income from Customer Groups through implementation of various key initiatives under the “Channel to Discovery” Plan. We repaid in full the public funds in July 2006 and successfully listed on the New York Stock Exchange in November 2006. The Group is also working intensively on establishment of a sound management base to sustain further growth, including reinforcement of internal controls over financial reporting.

The summary results for fiscal 2006, which reflect these efforts, are described below.


 

I. Summary of Income Analysis

 

·  

Consolidated Net Business Profits

 

   

Consolidated Gross Profits increased by JPY 114.9 billion compared with the previous fiscal year. This was particularly due to an increase in net interest income and a steady increase in fee and commission income from Customer Groups of the banking subsidiaries, as well as an improvement in the banking subsidiaries’ market-related income after the disposition of unrealized losses on bond portfolios in the previous fiscal year (*). As for securities subsidiaries, the decrease in Operating Revenues derived mainly from equity business divisions.


(*) Disposition of unrealized losses on bond portfolios of JPY 138.5 billion for 3 Banks

 

   

Consolidated Net Business Profits increased by JPY 69.0 billion to JPY 991.6 billion despite an increase in G&A expenses (excluding Non-Recurring Losses) driven by an outlay on “Strategic Expenses.”

*1: Consolidated Gross Profits - General and Administrative Expenses (excluding Non-Recurring Losses) + certain equity in income from investments in affiliates and other consolidation adjustments.
*2: Gains of JPY 21.2 billion on sales of stock associated with credit and alternative investments, which we made as part of our efforts to diversify sources of our market-related income, were recorded as Net Gains related to Stocks.
     The corresponding figure for FY 2005 includes gains of JPY 42.4 billion on sales of common stock of our subsidiary.

 

·  

Consolidated Net Income

 

   

Consolidated Net Income decreased by JPY 28.9 billion to JPY 620.9 billion. While Extraordinary Gains of JPY 125.9 billion were recorded on Gains on cancellation of Retirement Benefit Trusts and other factors, Credit-related Costs increased and Net Gains/Losses related to Stocks amounted to a loss mainly due to certain business performance deterioration within the non-bank financial services sector.

 

   

Earnings per Share (EPS) steadily improved compared with the previous fiscal year.

 

   

Considering the above consolidated financial results, retained earnings and other factors, in order to further enhance profit distribution, we plan to increase the fiscal year-end cash dividends per share of common stock for fiscal 2006 to JPY 7,000, which is a JPY 3,000 increase from those for the previous fiscal year.

II. Steady Enhancement of the Group’s Comprehensive Profitability

- Steady increase in income from Customer Groups

 

·  

Net Interest Income

 

   

Consolidated Net Interest Income for the second half of fiscal 2006 increased by JPY 20.0 billion compared with the first half of fiscal 2006.

 

   

The average loan balance for the same period increased by JPY 1.5 trillion compared with the first half of fiscal 2006, mainly driven by expansion of overseas lending and stable growth in loans to individuals in the domestic market.

 

   

In addition, domestic loan-and-deposit rate margins for the same period improved by 0.06% compared with the first half of fiscal 2006.

LOGO

 

·  

Non-Interest Income

 

   

Net Fee and Commission Income of the 3 Banks increased by JPY 22.4 billion, or 5.9%, compared with the previous fiscal year.

 

   

As for our corporate business, while fee and commission income from solution-related business decreased, that from foreign exchange business and overseas business and income from trust and asset management business of Mizuho Trust & Banking steadily increased.

 

   

As for our business with individual customers, fee income related to investment trusts and individual annuities continued to increase.

LOGO

 

·  

G&A Expenses

 

   

“Base Expenses” further decreased by JPY 19.3 billion compared with the previous fiscal year, mainly due to a reduction in IT-related expenses in Mizuho Bank.

 

   

There was an outlay on “Strategic Expenses” of JPY 98.0 billion for enhancing future top-line growth. As a result, total G&A Expenses of the 3 Banks increased by JPY 44.7 billion compared with the previous fiscal year.

III. Disciplined Capital Management

The Group is implementing disciplined capital management through which we aim to enhance the quality of capital and reinforce the capital base in order to sustain our top-line growth strategies, even after the full repayment of public funds in July 2006.

 

·  

Issuance of Preferred Securities

 

   

In January 2007, we issued JPY 400.0 billion of preferred debt securities through an overseas special purpose subsidiary, so as to increase the Group’s Tier 1 capital for securing the agility and improving the flexibility of our future capital strategy.

 

   

We plan to redeem in full JPY 185.5 billion of preferred debt securities which were issued in February 2002 and are redeemable at the issuer’s option in June 2007.

 

·  

Repurchase of Own Shares (Common Shares)

 

   

On May 22, 2007, the Board of Directors resolved to set up a limit for repurchasing own shares (common shares) up to a maximum of JPY 150.0 billion. Repurchase will be made for the purpose of, among other things, offsetting the potential dilutive effect of the conversion of the Eleventh Series Class XI Preferred Stock in consideration of the possibility that the number of shares of our common stock will increase after the commencement of the conversion period from July 1, 2008.

 

·  

Repurchase of Treasury Stock Held by Our Subsidiary

 

   

On the same day, the Board of Directors resolved to repurchase all the treasury stock (261,040.83 shares of common stock) held by our subsidiary, Mizuho Financial Strategy, Co., Ltd., and cancel those shares immediately after repurchase.

IV. Others (Financial Soundness)

The Group maintains its financial soundness at a high level, even though Disclosed Claims under the Financial Reconstruction Law increased.

Earnings Estimates for Fiscal 2007

 


In fiscal 2007, we will continue to implement our strategic initiatives based on the “Channel to Discovery” Plan. We estimate that Consolidated Net Income for fiscal 2007 will exceed that of the previous fiscal year through enhancement of the Group’s comprehensive profitability centering on Customer Groups and improvement in Credit-related Costs and Net Gains related to Stocks.


(The figures below are on a consolidated basis.)

 

 

Consolidated Net Business Profits for fiscal 2007 are estimated to increase by approximately JPY 50 billion, mainly due to a steady increase in income from Customer Groups driven by continuous strategic allocation of management resources to growth business area, further enhancement of the Group’s comprehensive strengths and other factors, while market-related income is estimated to decrease during a phase of rising interest rates.

 

 

In addition, Credit-related Costs are estimated to remain at a low level, and Net Gains related to Stocks are also estimated to improve substantially compared with the previous fiscal year.

 

 

As a consequence, we estimate Consolidated Net Income to be JPY 750.0 billion, an increase of 20% on the previous fiscal year, and foresee a steady increase in our EPS.

 

 

Considering the earnings estimates described above and other factors, we plan to increase the cash dividends per shares of common stock for the fiscal year ending March 2008 to JPY 10,000 (a JPY 3,000 increase from those for the previous fiscal year) and make dividend payments on preferred stock as prescribed.

2. Estimation of Deferred Tax Assets, etc.

Non-Consolidated

(1) Calculation Policy

Recoverability of Deferred Tax Assets is basically assessed based on future taxable income derived from future profitability, considering that Mizuho Bank, Mizuho Corporate Bank and Mizuho Trust & Banking’s fundamental profitability enabled the three banks consistently to report an appropriate level of Net Business Profits in previous periods. Mizuho Bank, Mizuho Corporate Bank and Mizuho Trust & Banking’s tax losses carry-forwards and future deductible temporary differences in the past resulted from nonrecurring special causes, e.g. losses from extraordinary and significant waiver of claims due to the crash of the bubble economy, acceleration of disposition of NPLs and stock holdings in accordance with government policy to stabilize promptly the financial system under the long deflationary depression, and the restructuring of businesses to meet the severe management environment. Since the three banks could have reported positive taxable income every year if the losses from these special factors were excluded, the conditions under the provisory clause of 5. (1)  of “Audit Guideline for Considering Recoverability of Deferred Tax Assets” (JICPA Audit Committee Report No. 66) have been fulfilled. Period for future taxable income considered in the assessment is five years.

<Explanation>

Future taxable income was estimated using more conservative assumptions than those used in the Business Plan formulated in March 2007, etc. Details of the respective estimated five-year totals are as follows:

Gross Profits: ¥4,670.0 billion [1]

General and Administrative Expenses: ¥2,704.5 billion [2]

Net Business Profits (before Reversal of (Provision for) General Reserve for Possible Losses on Loans): ¥1,965.5 billion [3] Income before Income Taxes (including Credit-related costs, etc.): ¥1,515.5 billion [5]

Taxable Income before Current Temporary Differences: ¥1,461.0 billion [7].

On the other hand, Deferred Tax Assets which are tax deductible in the future, such as Reserves for Possible Losses on Loans, Tax Losses Carried Forward and others amount to ¥1,051.7 billion [17]. However, after considering temporary differences which are not expected to be reversed in the next five years, Valuation Allowance of ¥(381.5) billion [18] was provided, therefore after offsetting Deferred Tax Liabilities of ¥(337.9) billion [25], ¥332.1 billion [26] of Net Deferred Tax Assets was recorded on the balance sheet.

<Explanation>

Future taxable income was estimated using more conservative assumptions than those used in the Business Plan formulated in March 2007, etc. Details of the respective estimated five-year totals are as follows:

Gross Profits: ¥ 2,727.5 billion [1]

General and Administrative Expenses: ¥ 1,303.0 billion [2]

Net Business Profits (before Reversal of (Provision for) General Reserve for Possible Losses on Loans): ¥ 1,424.5 billion [3]

Income before Income Taxes (including Credit-related costs, etc.): ¥ 1,186.4 billion [5]

Taxable Income before Current Temporary Differences: ¥ 1,077.2 billion [7].

On the other hand, Deferred Tax Assets which are tax deductible in the future, such as Reserves for Possible Losses on Loans, Tax Losses Carried Forward and others amount to ¥ 1,458.7 billion [17]. However, after considering temporary differences which are not expected to be reversed in the next five years, Valuation Allowance of ¥ (893.6) billion [18] was provided, therefore after offsetting Deferred Tax Liabilities of ¥ (746.0) billion [25], ¥ 180.9 billion [26] of Net Deferred Tax Liabilities was recorded on the balance sheet.
