FINANCIAL REVIEW OF UFJ HOLDINGS, INC.
The following is a description of the business and operations of UFJ Holdings, Inc., or UFJ Holdings, prior to the merger to create Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc., or MUFG, on October 1, 2005. As the surviving entity, MUFG is currently in the process of integrating the business and operations of UFJ Holdings. Unless otherwise noted, the following discussion refers to the financial results of UFJ Holdings prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP.
Introduction
General
UFJ Holdings was the bank holding company for the UFJ group. Through its subsidiaries and affiliated companies, UFJ Holdings engaged in a broad range of financial operations including retail banking, corporate banking, investment banking, trust banking and securities related-businesses. UFJ Holdings was merged into Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group, Inc., or MTFG, on October 1, 2005, with MTFG as the surviving entity. MTFG was subsequently renamed Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc., or MUFG. The following discussion is an operating and financial review of UFJ Holdings for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, and for the six months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005.
UFJ Holdings on a consolidated basis had total assets of ¥82.0 trillion as of September 30, 2005 and net income of ¥219.8 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2005. UFJ Holdings provided its products and services through UFJ Bank, UFJ Trust Bank, UFJ Tsubasa Securities and UFJ Asset Management Co. Ltd. as well as other group companies. As of September 30, 2005, UFJ Bank had approximately 15.5 million retail banking customers and a network of 412 branches, 78 sub-branches and 1,619 fully automated service outlets. These branches and service outlets were concentrated principally in Japans three largest metropolitan areas of Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya. UFJ Bank also served a broad corporate customer base with approximately 68,000 corporate borrowers as of September 30, 2005.
UFJ Holdings was established in April 2001 to serve as the holding company for three major Japanese banking institutions, The Sanwa Bank, Limited, The Tokai Bank, Limited and The Toyo Trust and Banking Company, Limited. This business combination was accounted for under U.S. GAAP as a purchase by Sanwa Bank of Tokai Bank and Toyo Trust Bank. UFJ Holdings took steps to integrate and consolidate its subsidiaries and affiliates in order to increase efficiency as well as to improve and expand its service offerings in response to ongoing deregulation in the Japanese banking market. These steps included the January 2002 merger of Sanwa Bank and Tokai Bank to form UFJ Bank Limited, rebranding Toyo Trust Bank as UFJ Trust Bank Limited and the June 2002 merger of the groups largest securities subsidiary, UFJ Capital Markets Securities Co., Ltd., with Tsubasa Securities Co., Ltd. to form UFJ Tsubasa Securities Co., Ltd.
UFJ Bank had identified small- and medium-sized companies as the primary market for its commercial loans, and developed and marketed new loan products for that market. Although large corporate clients remained an important part of its overall business, commercial lending and the provision of other financial services to small- and medium-sized companies were the primary focus for growth for its corporate banking business unit. UFJ Trust Bank administered various trusts, such as investment trusts and pension trusts, and offered other trust-related services. UFJ Trust Bank had identified loan trusts, jointly operated money trusts, pension trusts, securities related services, corporate agency services and the securitization business as its core trust businesses. UFJ Holdings provided brokerage and trading and other securities businesses principally through its majority-owned subsidiary UFJ Tsubasa Securities and provided asset management services through UFJ Trust Bank and UFJ Asset Management.
Following the establishment of UFJ Holdings, the group strove to improve the profitability of its core operations through increasing revenue and reducing costs. In particular, UFJ Holdings positioned itself to be a leading provider of financial services to retail customers and small- and medium-sized businesses in the Japanese market.
1
Additional revenue generating activities included:
| increasing consumer and small- and medium-sized corporate lending, which typically carried higher interest rates than large-sized corporate lending, |
| UFJ Banks UFJ24 initiative, which improved the accessibility of its services, increased utilization of its ATM network and generated additional fee income, |
| utilizing referrals from housing operators to increase mortgage lending, and |
| cross-selling of products between UFJ Holdings banking, trust banking and securities subsidiaries. |
Cost reduction measures taken at the time of the business combination of Sanwa Bank, Tokai Bank and Toyo Trust included:
| rationalizing the combined branch network to reduce overlap of operations and costs, and |
| reducing headcount through streamlining UFJ Holdings organizational structure. |
Recent Regulatory Problems and Financial Difficulties
In recent years, deregulation and structural reforms in the financial services industry have increased competition, and adverse market conditions in many sectors have exacerbated asset quality problems and led to a marked deterioration in the financial condition and capital base of many Japanese financial institutions, including UFJ Holdings. Extremely low interest rates and low levels of capital investment by corporate customers have contributed to declines in net interest income and outstanding loan balances.
Adverse conditions in the Japanese economy have also contributed to high levels of nonperforming loans. In this environment, UFJ Holdings recorded large net losses under Japanese GAAP for the years ended March 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005. These losses and the continuing restructuring of major borrowers created a risk that UFJ Holdings would be unable to maintain the 8% capital adequacy ratio (calculated in accordance with Japanese banking regulations and based on Japanese GAAP financial statements) required of Japanese banks with international operations as of September 30, 2004 prior to the UFJ groups receipt of a capital injection from MTFG.
UFJ Holdings served as the main bank for many of its corporate borrowers. The Japanese banking system has traditionally been characterized as a main bank system, where a main bank is conventionally defined as a bank that holds the largest single share of loans made to a borrower. In many cases, these main bank relationships are the result of historical links or other long-standing relationships with borrowers.
Due to its main bank relationships and, in some cases, previous unsuccessful attempts at restructuring major borrowers, UFJ Holdings had a particularly concentrated risk exposure to a small group of very large borrowers experiencing weak economic performance. The significance of these borrowers was such that they accounted for the majority of impaired loans and changes in the economic condition of these borrowers disproportionately affected levels of loan loss allowance, charge-offs and impaired loans in UFJ Holdings consolidated loan portfolio.
In the course of inspections of the classification of large borrowers by Japanese banks, the Financial Services Agency in 2004 concluded that members of the UFJ groups management had obstructed the Financial Services Agencys inspection into the classification of such borrowers by systematically withholding relevant information on the borrowers financial condition and falsely responding to requests for information from inspectors. In June 2004, the Financial Services Agency issued administrative orders requiring UFJ Bank to:
| strengthen its operations and internal controls to respond appropriately to the Financial Services Agencys inspections, |
2
| strengthen internal controls in order to enhance compliance functions and to ensure the proper management of operations, |
| submit a business improvement plan to the Financial Services Agency by July 20, 2004, and |
| report the progress in the implementation of the plan to the Financial Services Agency on a quarterly basis. |
In response to these administrative orders, the UFJ group took various measures, including the following:
| UFJ Bank established in June 2004 a new credit risk management committee to strengthen risk management systems. Made up of experts from outside the UFJ group, this committee examined the suitability of regulations, standards and other items involving credit risk. The committees recommendations were then considered in decisions reached by the board of directors and other management bodies regarding credit risk management. |
| At UFJ Bank, an audit team dedicated exclusively to large borrowers was formed in July 2004 within the internal audit department to strengthen the system of checks and balances with regard to credit risk management for large borrowers. Furthermore, in October 2004, the internal audit departments of UFJ Bank and UFJ Trust Bank were placed under the direct supervision of the respective audit and compliance committees to bolster their effectiveness, and audit planning offices were established under the supervision of the respective audit and compliance committees. By managing and supervising internal audits, these offices were intended to enhance auditing functions. |
The top management of UFJ Holdings, UFJ Bank and UFJ Trust Bank resigned in May 2004. Subsequently, in October 2004, the Financial Services Agency filed criminal indictments against UFJ Bank and former members of its management with the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office. At the same time, the Financial Services Agency ordered the suspension of loan origination for new customers by UFJ Banks Tokyo corporate office and Osaka corporate office for the period from October 18, 2004 to April 17, 2005. In conjunction with these indictments, the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office announced in December 2004 that it would seek to prosecute UFJ Bank, its former executives and a former employee on suspicion of violations of the Banking Law. On April 25, 2005, UFJ Bank and its former executives were convicted of breaches of the Banking Law. UFJ Bank was fined ¥90 million, a former executive officer was sentenced to ten months imprisonment with a stay of execution for three years and two other former executive officers were sentenced to eight months imprisonment with a stay of execution for three years.

Broader range of products. The reduction of barriers since the late 1990s among the banking, securities and insurance businesses enabled UFJ Holdings to engage in businesses that it had not been permitted to conduct previously. In addition, deregulation of interest rates on yen deposits and other factors enabled UFJ Holdings to offer customers an increasingly attractive and diversified range of products. UFJ Holdings sought to increase its fees and commissions by taking advantage of the reduction of barriers and other deregulatory trends.
Greater competition. UFJ Holdings faced strong competition in all of its principal areas of operation as a result of the relaxation of regulations relating to Japanese financial institutions. Deregulation eliminated barriers between different types of Japanese financial institutions, enabling them to compete directly against one another. Deregulation and market factors also facilitated the entry of various large foreign financial institutions into the Japanese domestic market.
External economic conditions. The financial services industry and the global financial markets are influenced by many unpredictable factors, including economic conditions, monetary policy, international political events, liquidity in global markets and regulatory developments. UFJ Holdings operations were significantly affected by external factors, such as the level and volatility of interest rates, currency exchange rates, stock and real estate markets and other economic and market conditions. In addition, UFJ Holdings held a significant number of shares in some of its customers for strategic purposes, which it was reducing over time. Accordingly, UFJ Holdings results of operations varied significantly from period to period because of unpredictable events, including unexpected failures of large corporate borrowers and market volatility.
Strategic Alliance with Nippon Shinpan
In March 2004, UFJ Bank purchased 200 million shares of preferred stock in the aggregate liquidation preference amount of ¥200 billion issued by Nippon Shinpan Co., Ltd., a large Japanese consumer credit company, whose common shares are listed on the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The investment was part of a strategic alliance between the two institutions in the credit card business intended to strengthen the competitiveness of UFJ Banks retail business. UFJ Holdings planned to position Nippon Shinpan as a core company in UFJ Banks retail strategy, together with UFJ Banks subsidiary UFJ Card Co., Ltd.
The preferred stock was convertible into common stock of Nippon Shinpan at the option of UFJ Holdings at any date from September 1, 2004 until September 1, 2014, and at or after September 2, 2014 it will
6
be mandatorily converted into common stock. The conversion price is subject to anti-dilution adjustments and a semiannual adjustment based on market prices up to a maximum of ¥304.1 per common share and a minimum of ¥212.9 per common share. Dividends receivable on the preferred stock are non-cumulative and payable out of distributable profits at a rate equal to the Japanese Yen six-month TIBOR plus 1.0%. The preferred stock is non-voting except in the event that Nippon Shinpan has sufficient distributable profits but does not declare and pay dividends on the preferred stock as well as in certain situations requiring a class vote under the Commercial Code of Japan. 150 million shares of the 200 million shares of preferred stock were converted into Nippon Shinpan common stock on October 1, 2005.
UFJ Holdings was Nippon Shinpans main bank and owned 7.7% and 10.0% of Nippon Shinpans common shares as of September 30, 2005 and March 31, 2005, respectively. Under Japanese GAAP, Nippon Shinpan was not deemed a consolidated subsidiary of UFJ Holdings until UFJ Bank converted a certain portion of the preferred stock into common shares at the time of the merger. However, under U.S. GAAP, Nippon Shinpan was a subsidiary as of April 1, 2004 as UFJ Holdings was deemed to be the primary beneficiary of Nippon Shinpan, as that term was defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 (Revised), or FIN 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51, and was included in UFJ Holdings consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 as a result of applying the guidance in FIN 46R. For periods prior to April 1, 2004, Nippon Shinpan was an equity-method affiliate of UFJ Holdings.
UFJ Card and Nippon Shinpan merged in October 2005 at a merger ratio of 4.1 shares of Nippon Shinpan common stock for each share of UFJ Card common stock to form UFJ NICOS Co., Ltd. Following the merger and the conversion of 150 million shares of preferred stock, MUFG holds 69.0% of Nippon Shinpans common stock.
Nippon Shinpans operations consisted primarily of consumer loans, credit cards, guarantees of personal credit and shopping loans for automobile and other consumer products, which it provided under the brand name NICOS. Nippon Shinpans consumer loan business provided cardholders with personal loans, including cash withdrawals at designated ATMs, and generated revenue in the form of interest payments, fees and commissions. The credit card business generated revenues through merchant discount fees, finance charges and membership fees. Nippon Shinpans guarantee business provided guarantees for consumers applying for loans with its affiliated financial institutions, and generated revenue through commissions and other fees. The shopping loan business provided loans for consumers seeking to purchase merchandise and services, and generated revenue in the form of finance charges and merchant discount fees.
On a consolidated basis Nippon Shinpan had total assets of ¥1,950.5 billion as of September 30, 2005 and a net loss of ¥3.6 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2005 under U.S. GAAP.
The Financial Services Agencys Inspections of Troubled Borrowers of Major Banks
Amid concerns over the impact of problem loans on the Japanese financial system as a whole, the Financial Services Agency announced a policy in October 2002 that banks should reduce by about half the ratio of problem loans to total loans reported as of March 31, 2005 as calculated under Japanese banking regulations. In addition, the Financial Services Agency has strengthened its review process of problem loans by supplementing its regular inspections of the problem loans of Japanese banks with special inspections. The scope of these special inspections included the financial condition and internal classifications of certain large troubled borrowers of major banks, including UFJ Bank and UFJ Trust Bank. These inspections were conducted periodically since the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002. These inspections, including the regular inspections, resulted in the banks re-rating a number of borrowers classifications during the periods presented. The results of these inspections were consistent with the credit analyses performed and judgments made by management in determining UFJ Holdings U.S. GAAP loan loss allowance against borrowers in the periods presented.

Restructurings of Certain Large Borrowers
In recent periods, UFJ Holdings had increased efforts to address its exposure to large borrowers experiencing weak economic performance through charge-offs of loans and the utilization of government-sponsored revitalization initiatives. The Industrial Revitalization Corporation of Japan, or IRCJ, was established in April 2003 jointly by the public and private sectors to provide revitalization assistance to the industrial and financial sectors in Japan. The IRCJ assists companies to formulate business revitalization plans and identify sponsors, such as private equity funds, investment banks or other entities, to invest in the companies and assist them with restructuring. The IRCJ assists these companies by purchasing their debt and entering into debt-for-equity swaps. The sponsors then purchase the debt and equity from the IRCJ, contribute new funds and assist the companies with implementing their business revitalization plans.
Some of UFJ Holdings large borrowers experiencing weak economic performance initiated business revitalization plans with the assistance of the IRCJ. As a main bank for these borrowers, UFJ Bank jointly submitted the plans to the IRCJ and extended financial support as follows:
| Daiei. Daiei Inc. and its related group companies are one of Japans largest general retailers and supermarket operators. UFJ Bank and other co-main banks jointly submitted an application for support of a business revitalization plan to the IRCJ with Daiei and received approval in December 2004. Under the plan, the IRCJ invested ¥40 billion in the form of a debt-for-equity swap and ¥10 billion in cash, and two sponsors, Advantage Partners and the Marubeni group, invested ¥62 billion. The IRCJ and the sponsors acquired more than a one-third interest in Daiei. In addition, ¥400.4 billion in debt was forgiven and ¥192 billion, or approximately 82.8%, of the preferred stock of Daiei held by its three main banks, was cancelled. Of these amounts, UFJ Holdings forgave ¥203.1 billion of debt and wrote-off ¥96 billion of preferred stock. An additional ¥40 billion of preferred stock that was outside the scope of the cancellation was, after compulsory conversion to ordinary shares, subjected to a 10:1 reverse stock split conducted on Daieis ordinary shares. |
| Daikyo. Daikyo Incorporated and its related group companies are one of Japans leading apartment building developers and managers. Under Daikyos revitalization plan, accepted by the IRCJ in September 2004 and amended in January 2005, a total of ¥133.5 billion in financial support in the form of debt forgiveness and debt-for-equity swaps was provided by financial institutions as well as a 50% write-off of preferred stock issued by Daikyo. Of these amounts, UFJ Holdings forgave ¥81.5 billion of debt and entered into a debt-for-equity swap for ¥30 billion of preferred stock. The debt-for-equity swap resulted in a charge-off of ¥30 billion against the debt and recognition of an investment in Daikyos preferred stock at its fair value. In addition, a capital reduction of approximately 99.2% was implemented. Furthermore, a capital increase through a third party share issue of ¥23 billion to Orix Corporation was conducted in March 2005, which reduced the relative position of existing shareholders. |
| Misawa Homes. Misawa Homes Holdings, Inc. and its related group companies are one of Japans leading residential housing operators. Under the revitalization plan, announced in December 2004 and amended in June 2005, a total of ¥133 billion in financial support was provided by financial institutions in the form of debt forgiveness for ¥113 billion and debt-for-equity swaps for ¥20 billion. Of this amount, UFJ Bank forgave ¥84 billion of debt and entered into a debt-for-equity swap for ¥20 billion of preferred stock. UFJ Bank also wrote-off ¥108 billion of preferred stock of Misawa Homes. The debt-for-equity swap resulted in a charge-off of ¥20 billion against the debt and recognition of an investment in Misawa Homes preferred stock at its fair value. In addition, Misawa conducted a 10:1 reverse stock split on its ordinary shares and a recapitalization through a third party share issue of ¥25.8 billion to Toyota Motor Corporation and two other sponsors. |
8
In addition to the above restructurings made with the assistance of the IRCJ, some of UFJ Holdings other large borrowers implemented restructuring plans as follows:
| Aplus. Aplus Co., Ltd. is a large consumer credit company. In September 2004, UFJ Bank sold ¥94 billion of Aplus debt and ¥30 billion of Aplus preferred stock to a subsidiary of Shinsei Bank, Ltd., an unaffiliated bank. As a result of these transactions, UFJ Holdings no longer had significant exposure to Aplus. |
| Sojitz. Sojitz Holdings Corporation announced a new business plan on September 8, 2004. Pursuant to the plan, Sojitz issued ¥350 billion of preferred stock to its banks in debt-for-equity swaps, and ¥10 billion of preferred stock and ¥10 billion of convertible bonds to a third party investor on October 29, 2004. Of these amounts, UFJ Bank entered into a debt-for-equity swap for ¥330 billion of preferred stock. This resulted in a charge-off against the debt and recognition of an investment in Sojitz preferred stock at its fair value. |
| Towa Real Estate. Towa Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. announced a financial support plan on December 29, 2004. Pursuant to the plan, Towa entered into a strategic partnership with Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd. whereby Mitsubishi Estate and other co-investors contributed ¥24.9 billion to Towa and UFJ Bank transferred a major part of its preferred stock of Towa to Mitsubishi Estate and forgave ¥78.2 billion in debt. UFJ Holdings recognized a loss of ¥7.8 billion on the transfer of the preferred stock of Towa to Mitsubishi Estate. |
Allowances for loan losses anticipated as a result of the above IRCJ-assisted revitalizations and other restructurings were recorded at each balance sheet date depending on the extent to which the impairment was deemed to have existed. Charge-offs were made on the date of management approval.
After the merger, MUFG has continued to maintain banking relationships with the borrowers discussed above except Aplus and therefore is potentially exposed to further losses.
Measures to Assist Small- and Medium-Sized Borrowers
To accelerate revitalization of small- and medium-sized companies, UFJ Bank established UFJ Strategic Partner, Co., Ltd. (currently, MU Strategic Partner Co., Ltd.), a joint venture with Merrill Lynch, in December 2002 and subsequently transferred a portion of its problem loan portfolio in such companies to UFJ Strategic Partner. UFJ Strategic Partner provided advisory services for formulating and implementing restructuring plans to small- and medium-sized companies and advised them on their problem loans. UFJ Strategic Partner planned to upgrade or finally dispose of its initial loan and loan participation portfolio within approximately three years. As of March 2003, small- and medium-sized companies with loans with an aggregate face value of approximately ¥1,400 billion were transferred to UFJ Strategic Partner. As of March 2005, UFJ Strategic Partners loan participations were returned to UFJ Bank and the book value of the remaining transferred assets was approximately ¥10 billion at the end of September 2005.
Economic Environment in Japan
UFJ Holdings operated primarily in Japan. After experiencing weak economic conditions and sluggish growth in previous years, Japans economy improved in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 mainly due to an increase in exports and capital spending, as well as improvements in employment and wages. The real gross domestic product growth rate was 1.1%, 2.3% and 1.7% for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. The GDP growth rate was 5.4% from April to June 2005 and 1.4% from July to September 2005.
Improving economic conditions since the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 have resulted in declining numbers of corporate bankruptcies in Japan. The number of corporate bankruptcy filings in Japan reached a 17-year high during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 but has decreased since then. The following table

presents information on the number of new corporate bankruptcy filings in Japan and total liabilities involved in such filings for the periods indicated:

Critical Accounting Estimates
Introduction
UFJ Holdings attached consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Many of the accounting policies required management to make judgments regarding the valuation of assets and liabilities. The financial results of UFJ Holdings were affected by the accounting policies, assumptions and
10
estimates that underlay the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are set out in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management was required to select suitable accounting policies, apply them consistently and make judgements and estimates that were reasonable and prudent.
The accounting estimates that are deemed critical to UFJ Holdings operating results and financial condition are discussed below.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses represented managements estimate of probable losses in UFJ Holdings loan portfolio. The evaluation process involved a number of estimates and judgments. UFJ Holdings allowance for loan losses consisted of specific allowances for specifically identified impaired borrowers and general allowances for homogeneous pools of commercial and consumer loans, and other loans which were not specifically identified as impaired.
UFJ Holdings used a credit rating system to classify the credit quality of its borrowers. Borrowers were graded using information believed to reflect the borrowers ability to fulfill its obligations. Among the factors considered were the borrowers equity ratio, retained earnings to total assets ratio, debt to total assets ratio and borrowing capacity. Also included were earnings before taxes ratio, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ratio, the ability to repay debts and years to repay debts. These factors were based on an evaluation of current and historical information as well as subjective assessment and interpretation. Emphasizing one factor over another or considering additional factors that may have been relevant in determining the credit rating of a particular borrower, but which were not an explicit part of UFJ Holdings methodology, could have impacted the credit rating UFJ Holdings assigns to that borrower.
The allowance for specifically identified impaired borrowers, which represented large-balance, non-homogeneous loans that were specifically determined to be impaired, was determined based on an estimate of the present value of expected future cash flows or the fair value of collateral when the loan was considered to be collateral dependent or the observable market price of the loan, if one was available. The consideration of whether a loan was impaired as well as the estimate of a borrowers ability to produce future cash flows and the amount and timing of such cash flows was highly subjective, especially for some of the largest borrowers where a wide range of estimates could have resulted depending on the different assumptions used. In addition, UFJ Holdings real estate collateral valuations involved a number of detailed assumptions and estimates about current market conditions in the Japanese real estate sector. Substantially all collateral valuations were performed by UFJ group companies.
Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans and other loans which were not specifically identified as impaired were collectively evaluated for impairment, and the allowance for such loans was established through a process that began with estimates of probable unidentified losses inherent in the portfolio. These estimates were based upon various analyses, including UFJ Holdings historical delinquency and loan loss experience, adjusted for qualitative factors, such as the current macro-economic conditions prevailing at each period an estimate was made as well as current lending policies and procedures. Since these estimates captured qualitative factors that were not present in the quantitative analysis, they could have been highly subjective.
In addition to the allowance for loan losses on UFJ Holdings loan portfolio, UFJ Holdings maintained an allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit instruments, including commitments to extend credit, a variety of guarantees and standby letters of credit. Such allowance was included in Other liabilities. The considerations that UFJ Holdings used in its estimate of provisions for off-balance sheet credit risk were similar to those used for on-balance sheet risk.
11
Determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses required the exercise of considerable judgment and the use of estimates, such as those discussed above. To the extent that actual losses exceed managements estimates, additional allowance for loan losses may have been required that could have had a materially adverse impact on UFJ Holdings operating results and financial condition in future periods.
Valuation and Impairment of Financial Instruments
UFJ Holdings held investment securities and trading assets and liabilities, including debt and marketable equity securities, non-marketable equity securities and derivatives. Fair value of financial instruments is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing buyers and sellers, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. Valuations of investment securities and trading assets and liabilities are primarily estimated based on quoted market prices, prices actively quoted among brokers or internally developed pricing models.
Quoted market prices in active markets, if available, are the most reliable measure of fair value. However, quoted market prices for debt securities traded over the counter, including Japanese and foreign government bonds, certain derivative instruments, private equity and preferred equity investments may not be available. When quoted market prices are not available, derivatives and securities values are determined based upon discounted cash flow analysis, comparison to similar observable market transactions, or the use of financial models. Discounted cash flow analysis is dependent upon estimated cash flows and the market discount rate used for credit rating and maturity comparable with the issuer. Valuation using pricing models is dependent upon time value, yield curve, option features, volatility factors, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severity, foreign exchange rates, current market prices and transaction prices for underlying financial instruments. Pricing adjustments to model UFJ Holdings portfolio valuations considered liquidity, credit exposure, concentration risks, hedging strategies, quality of model inputs and other factors.
Where valuation of financial instruments was subjective due to the lack of market prices or inputs, management had to apply judgment to make estimates and certain assumptions. For example, when prices or inputs to financial models were used for similar financial instruments, judgment was applied to make appropriate adjustments for differences in credit risk, liquidity, transaction costs or various other financial variables. Changes in model estimates and assumptions, market conditions and unexpected circumstances can significantly affect the fair values of the securities and trading assets and liabilities.
Trading assets and liabilities that were actively traded were valued based on quoted market prices. Since few derivatives were actively traded, the majority of derivatives were valued using internally developed models based on external market variables that could be independently validated by third-party sources. However, certain derivatives were valued based on external market variables that were less readily available and were subject to management judgment. For certain derivatives not valued by internally developed models, UFJ Holdings periodically utilized external valuations performed by qualified independent counterparties.
The estimated fair values of financial instruments without quoted market prices were as follows:

A significant portion of trading securities, investment securities, trading securities sold, not yet purchased and obligations to return securities received as collateral consisted of Japanese national government and agency bonds, and foreign government and official institutions bonds, for which prices are actively quoted among brokers and are readily available but are not publicly reported and therefore are not considered quoted market prices. Additionally, a substantial portion of derivative financial instruments were comprised of over-the-counter interest rate and currency swaps and options. Estimates of fair value of these derivative transactions were determined using quantitative models with multiple market inputs.
An impairment loss on investment securities is required to be recognized in earnings for a decline in fair value that is other-than-temporary. UFJ Holdings conducted reviews to identify and evaluate investment securities that had indications of possible impairment. UFJ Holdings assessed various quantitative and qualitative factors to determine whether impairment is other-than-temporary. The assessment of other-than-temporary impairment required significant judgment and therefore could have had a significant impact on the results of operations.
Debt and marketable equity securities. In determining whether a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary for a particular security, indicators of an other-than-temporary decline for both debt and marketable equity securities include the extent of decline in fair value below cost and the length of time that the decline has continued. UFJ Holdings generally deemed a decline in fair value of 20% or more or a decline in fair value that continued for six months or more as an indicator of other-than-temporary decline. UFJ Holdings also considered the financial condition and near-term prospects of issuers primarily based on the credit standing of the issuers as determined by UFJ Holdings credit rating system, market values of comparable companies, and changes in industry and market prospects.
Non-marketable equity securities. Non-marketable equity securities are equity securities of companies that are not publicly traded or are thinly traded. Such securities are held at cost less other-than-temporary impairment. UFJ Holdings considered the credit standing of issuers and the extent of decline in net assets of issuers as well as other factors, including valuation of public companies of similar size operating in the same or similar industry, operating performance, industry trends and future expectations, to determine whether the decline is other-than-temporary. When UFJ Holdings determined that the decline was other-than-temporary, non-marketable equity securities were written down to their fair value. For certain non-marketable equity securities, UFJ Holdings periodically utilized external valuations performed by qualified independent valuation consulting firms.
The markets for equity securities and debt securities are inherently volatile, and the values of both types of securities have fluctuated significantly in recent years. Accordingly, UFJ Holdings assessment of potential impairment involved risks and uncertainties depending on market conditions that were global or regional in nature and the condition of specific issuers or industries and managements subjective assessment of the estimated future performance of investments.
Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance
A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. All available evidence, both positive and negative, is considered to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is needed. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence should be commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified.
In determining a valuation allowance, UFJ Holdings estimated future taxable income (exclusive of reversing temporary differences and loss carryforwards) and future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences using forecasted operating results, based on recent historical trends and approved business plans, a review of the eligible carryforward periods, tax planning opportunities and other relevant considerations. Future
13
realization of the tax benefit of these carryforwards or existing deductible temporary differences ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income in future periods. The existence of high levels of accumulated deficit, taxable losses and credit costs incurred in the past years add to the inherent subjectivity in the determination of the valuation allowance. A valuation allowance of ¥2,176.6 billion was recorded against deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2005.
Impairment of Goodwill
At September 30, 2005, UFJ Holdings had goodwill of ¥2,323.8 billion relating principally to the acquisition of Tokai Bank and Toyo Trust by Sanwa Bank on April 2, 2001. An impairment review of goodwill was performed at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicated that goodwill might be impaired. The impairment review was performed for each reporting unit by projecting future cash flows of the reporting units to which the goodwill related based upon budgets and plans and discounting these using a rate approximating the weighted average cost of capital after making adjustment for the risk inherent in the cash flows. A reporting unit was an operating segment or component of an operating segment that constituted a business for which discrete financial information was available and segment management regularly reviewed the operating results of that component. If the present value of the projected cash flows, which represented the estimated fair value of the reporting units, were to be less than the carrying value of the underlying net assets and related goodwill, an impairment may have occurred. If it was determined that an impairment had occurred, a charge was recorded in income. This calculation required the exercise of significant judgement by management.
Upon adoption of SFAS 142 on April 1, 2002, UFJ Holdings performed the transitional impairment test on goodwill. The initial adoption resulted in a cumulative adjustment charge to earnings of ¥62 billion. Also, during its subsequent annual impairment review on March 31, 2003, UFJ Holdings recorded an additional impairment on its goodwill of ¥194 billion, which was recorded in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003.
Accrued Severance Indemnities and Pension Liabilities
UFJ Holdings had defined benefit retirement plans, including lump-sum severance indemnities and pension plans, which covered substantially all of its employees. Severance indemnities and pension costs were calculated based upon a number of actuarial assumptions, including discount rates, expected long-term rates of return on plan assets and rates of increase in future compensation levels. Actual results that differed from the assumptions were accumulated and amortized over future periods, and affected UFJ Holdings recognized net periodic pension costs and accrued severance indemnities and pension obligations in future periods.
In developing the assumptions for expected long-term rates of return, UFJ Holdings referred to the historical average returns earned by the plan assets and the rates of return expected to be available for reinvestment of existing plan assets, which reflected recent changes in trends and economic conditions, including market price.
UFJ Holdings had an unrecognized net actuarial loss for domestic severance indemnities and pension plans of ¥97.2 billion at September 30, 2005.

Six Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared to Six Months Ended September 30, 2004
UFJ Holdings net income decreased by ¥25.9 billion, or 10.5%, from ¥245.7 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2004 to ¥219.8 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2005. UFJ Holdings basic earnings per common share (net income available to common stockholders) decreased by ¥3,143, or 7.3%, from ¥43,106 for the six months ended September 30, 2004 to ¥39,963 for the six months ended September 30, 2005. These net decreases were due primarily to the following:
| a decrease in net interest income of ¥10.5 billion from ¥477.2 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2004 to ¥466.7 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2005 due primarily to a decrease in the interest income on loans, including fees from loans and interest from investment securities, and an increase in interest expense on deposits and on payables under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions; |
| a decrease of ¥126.7 billion in provision for loan losses from ¥202.4 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2004 to ¥75.7 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2005 due primarily to a decrease of provision for large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans and other loans, partially offset by an increase in provision for specifically identified problem loans; |
| a decrease of ¥36.2 billion in non-interest income from ¥524.5 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2004 to ¥488.3 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2005 primarily reflecting a decrease in investment securities gains and foreign exchange gains partially offset by an increase in net trading account gains; |
| an increase of ¥67.0 billion in non-interest expenses from ¥550.6 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2004 to ¥617.6 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2005 primarily as a result of an increase in provision for acceptances and off-balance sheet credit instruments as well as |
15
other non-interest expenses which include expenses for the preparation of planned management integration; and |
| an increase of ¥36.0 billion in income tax expense from ¥5.9 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2004 to ¥41.9 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2005 as discussed under Income Tax Expense. |
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2005 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2004
UFJ Holdings net income increased by ¥111.1 billion, or 18.3%, from ¥607.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to ¥718.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. UFJ Holdings basic earnings per common share (net income available to common stockholders) increased by ¥18,106, or 15.8%, from ¥114,642 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to ¥132,748 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. These increases were due primarily to the following:
| an increase in net interest income of ¥112.6 billion from ¥849.4 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to ¥962.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 due primarily to the consolidation of Nippon Shinpan and increases in other retail lending; |
| a decrease of ¥221.2 billion in provision for loan losses from ¥313.1 billion in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to ¥91.9 billion in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 due primarily to a decrease of provision for large borrowers and a decrease in the loan loss allowance due to collections and additional collateral obtained; |
| an increase of ¥21.5 billion in non-interest income from ¥1,149.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to ¥1,171.4 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 primarily reflecting an increase in fees and commissions, mainly from the consolidation of Nippon Shinpan, and an increase in other non-interest income partially offset by a decrease in net trading account gains; and |
| an increase of ¥202.8 billion in non-interest expenses from ¥979.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to ¥1,182.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 primarily as a result of the consolidation of Nippon Shinpan. |
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2004 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2003
UFJ Holdings net income increased by ¥945.5 billion from a net loss of ¥337.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to a net profit of ¥607.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. UFJ Holdings basic earning per common share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 was ¥114,642, compared to a basic loss per common share of ¥77,926 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. These increases in net income were due primarily to the following:
| an increase of ¥605.5 billion in non-interest income from ¥544.4 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥1,149.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 due to increases in fees and commissions and net gains in trading accounts, investment securities and foreign exchange, all of which reflect improvements in market conditions between the periods; |
| a decrease of ¥198.8 billion in provision for loan losses from ¥511.9 billion in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥313.1 billion in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 due primarily to improvements in the financial conditions of existing impaired borrowers and fewer new impaired borrowers; and |
| a decrease of ¥234.2 billion in non-interest expense from ¥1,214.1 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥979.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 primarily due to a goodwill impairment charge of ¥194.0 billion in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 relating to the trust business segment. In addition to this charge, an additional impairment charge of ¥62.0 billion relating to the trust business was recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle adjustment. |

Six Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared to Six Months Ended September 30, 2004
Interest income increased by ¥38.1 billion from ¥613.5 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2004 to ¥651.6 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2005. This increase was primarily due to an increase of ¥31.5 billion in interest income on receivables under reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowing transactions from ¥8.3 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2004 to ¥39.8 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2005. Higher average balances on receivables under reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowing transactions during the six months ended September 30, 2005 contributed to the increase in interest income. In addition, interest earned on deposits in other banks increased by ¥13.6 billion from ¥8.1 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2004 to ¥21.7 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2005. Interest income on loans decreased due to a lower average balance of loans in the six months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2005 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2004
Interest income increased by ¥186.7 billion from ¥1,058.4 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to ¥1,245.1 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to an increase of ¥128.0 billion in interest income on loans from ¥840.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to ¥968.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. In addition, interest earned on investment securities increased by ¥49.5 billion from ¥139.4 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to ¥188.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.
17
Interest income earned on loans increased by ¥128.0 billion from ¥840.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to ¥968.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 due to the consolidation of Nippon Shinpans credit card and other interest earning businesses. Excluding the contribution of Nippon Shinpan, interest income earned on loans decreased by ¥48.8 billion, reflecting lower levels of corporate loan origination due to weak corporate sector demand for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.
The impact of reduced corporate lending for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 was partially offset by an increase in other consumer lending which typically carries a higher interest rate than corporate lending.
Interest income earned on investment securities increased by ¥49.5 billion from ¥139.4 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to ¥188.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. This increase was due generally to higher average levels of debt securities carried throughout the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, as compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in demand for corporate loans resulted in the channeling of funding balances into higher holdings of debt securities.
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2004 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2003
Interest income decreased by ¥128.6 billion from ¥1,187.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥1,058.4 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. This was primarily due to a decrease of ¥67.8 billion in interest from loans from ¥908.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥840.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, a decrease of ¥19.6 billion in interest and dividends on investment securities from ¥181.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥162.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 and a decrease of ¥12.6 billion in deposits in other banks from ¥33.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥21.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.
The decrease in interest income from loans was due to lower levels of corporate loan origination for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 due to weak corporate sector demand. The impact of the reduced corporate lending was partially offset by an increase in consumer lending which typically carries a higher rate than corporate lending. In addition, the general level of long-term interest rates was higher for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the prior year, which also helped to partially offset the decline in corporate lending volumes.
Interest income from foreign currency denominated debt securities decreased by ¥13.8 billion from ¥69.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥55.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. This reflects a reduction in UFJ Holdings portfolio of U.S. Dollar-denominated debt securities together with a period-on-period decline in U.S. interest rates. Interest income earned on domestic debt securities increased by ¥4.2 billion from ¥79.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥83.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.
Dividends received on investment securities decreased by ¥10.0 billion from ¥32.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥22.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 due to a reduction in UFJ Holdings equity portfolio to reduce cross-holdings of customers equity securities.
The decrease of ¥12.6 billion in interest on deposits in other banks was due to a general reduction in interest earning deposits in other banks in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. Interest-earning deposits in other banks fluctuate significantly from day to day depending upon financial market conditions. Interest-earning deposits in other banks decreased 9.2%, from ¥964.2 billion at March 31, 2003 to ¥875.3 billion at March 31, 2004. This decrease primarily reflects the daily operation and liquidity needs of UFJ Holdings and money market conditions.

Six Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared to Six Months Ended September 30, 2004
Interest expense increased by ¥48.6 billion to ¥184.9 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2005 from ¥136.3 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2004. This increase was primarily due to an increase of ¥36.4 billion in interest expense on payables under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions from ¥11.0 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2004 to ¥47.4 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2005. In addition, interest expense on deposits increased by ¥15.3 billion from ¥38.8 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2004 to ¥54.1 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2005. This increase was due primarily to higher U.S. dollar interest rates on foreign deposits.
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2005 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2004
Interest expense increased by ¥74.1 billion to ¥283.1 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 from ¥209.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. This increase was primarily due to an increase of ¥54.2 billion in interest expense on long-term borrowings from ¥88.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to ¥142.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. The increase in interest payable on long-term borrowings was due to a net increase in long-term borrowing levels, which reflects the consolidation of Nippon Shinpan funding balances.
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2004 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2003
Interest expense decreased by ¥60.8 billion from ¥269.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥209.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. This was due to a decrease of ¥33.4 billion in deposit interest from ¥108.2 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥74.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, a reduction of ¥19.4 billion in interest expense on payables under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions from ¥38.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥18.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 and a decrease of ¥8.2 billion in other short-term borrowings from ¥27.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥19.4 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.
The decrease of ¥33.4 billion in deposit interest was primarily due to lower levels of interest credited to deposit accounts. As existing deposits expired during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, they were generally renewed at lower levels of interest compared to rates credited for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, which reflected UFJ Holdings strategy of aligning rates to market movements.
19
The decrease of ¥19.4 billion in interest expense on payables under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions and the decrease of ¥8.2 billion in interest expense on other short-term borrowings were due primarily to UFJ Holdings reducing its short-term funding portfolio in exchange for longer-term funding and higher deposit balances.
Provision for Loan Losses
Provision for loan losses was charged to operations to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level deemed appropriate by management. For a description of the approach and methodology used to establish the provision for loan losses, see Financial ConditionAllowance for Loan Losses, Nonperforming and Past Due Loans.
Six Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared to Six Months Ended September 30, 2004
Provision for loan losses was ¥75.7 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2005, a decrease of ¥126.7 billion, or 62.6%, compared to ¥202.4 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2004. This decrease reflected primarily a decrease in provision for large groups of smaller-balance homogenous loans and other loans, partially offset by an increase in provision for specifically identified problem loans.
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2005 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2004
Provision for loan losses was ¥91.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, a decrease of ¥221.2 billion, or 70.7%, compared to ¥313.1 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. This decrease reflected primarily a decrease in provisions for large borrowers, as a result of certain large borrowers implementing restructuring plans as discussed under Restructurings of Certain Large Borrowers, and an increase in the reversal of provision for loan losses due to additionally obtained collateral or collection.
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2004 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2003
Provision for loan losses was ¥313.1 billion for the year ended March 31, 2004, a decrease of ¥198.8 billion, or 38.8%, compared to ¥511.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. This decrease principally reflected a reduction in the amount of impaired loans, complemented by improvements in the financial condition of existing impaired borrowers. Improvements in the Japanese economy were also reflected through a lowering of provisioning rates against large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans and a consequential reduction of the related allowance, which was magnified by a reduction in the overall level of lending to these groups.

Six Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared to Six Months Ended September 30, 2004
Non-interest income for the six months ended September 30, 2005 was ¥488.3 billion, a decrease of ¥36.2 billion, or 6.9%, from ¥524.5 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2004. This decrease was due primarily to a decrease in investment securities gains and foreign exchange gains partially offset by an increase in net trading account gains.
UFJ Holdings had fees and commissions income of ¥305.0 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2005 compared to ¥297.0 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of ¥8.0 billion. The increase was due primarily to an increase of ¥16.1 billion in other fees and commissions from ¥65.3 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2004 to ¥81.4 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2005. This increase reflected increased fees and commissions from insurance brokerage activities.

Net gains on derivative instruments, primarily interest rate futures, swaps and options, increased by ¥132.3 billion from a net loss of ¥26.8 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2004 to a net profit of ¥105.5 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2005. This increase was due primarily to an increase in net profits on interest rate swaps.
Net gains on trading securities increased by ¥55.2 billion, from a net loss of ¥38.6 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2004 to ¥16.6 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2005. This increase reflects improved securities trading market conditions in the six months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2004.

Net gains on sales of equity securities decreased primarily due to a decreased level of sales as UFJ Holdings had reduced its exposure to equity securities over the past few periods. Impairment losses on equity securities improved by ¥23.0 billion from ¥31.4 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2004 to ¥8.4 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2005 due primarily to a rise in Japanese stock prices. Net gains on sales of debt securities and others decreased by ¥11.3 billion from ¥52.4 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2004 to ¥41.1 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2005 due primarily to declines in the prices of bonds.
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2005 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2004
Non-interest income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 was ¥1,171.4 billion, an increase of ¥21.5 billion, or 1.9%, from ¥1,149.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. This increase was due primarily to an increase of ¥149.5 billion in fees and commissions from ¥445.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31,

2004 to ¥595.2 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, a gain on sale-leaseback contract of ¥84.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 resulting from UFJ Banks entering into a sale-leaseback transaction of its Tokyo headquarters and a gain on pension settlement of ¥50.1 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 resulting from UFJ Banks transfer of obligations under its employees pension fund and related plan assets to the Japanese government in connection with the separation of a substitutional portion, partially offset by net trading account losses of ¥45.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 as compared to net trading account gains of ¥228.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.
UFJ Holdings had fees and commissions income of ¥595.2 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 compared to ¥445.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, an increase of ¥149.5 billion. The increase was due primarily to an increase of ¥52.6 billion in fees and commission on credit cards and an increase of ¥41.4 billion in guarantees business. Both of these increases reflect primarily the consolidation of Nippon Shinpan. Other fees and commissions increased by ¥55.7 billion from ¥91.2 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to ¥146.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. This increase reflected increased fees and commissions from insurance brokerage activities and additional fee earning activities of Nippon Shinpan such as installment fees on consumer shopping loans.

Net gains on derivative instruments, primarily interest rate futures, swaps and options, decreased by ¥114.0 billion from a net gain of ¥36.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to a net loss of ¥77.1 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. This decrease was due primarily to a decrease in net profits on interest rate swaps and interest rate options. In particular, in order to manage interest rate risks on its long-term debt, UFJ Holdings had net receive-fix and pay-variable positions in its interest rate swap portfolios. These portfolios decreased in value in an increasing interest rate environment for U.S. dollar-denominated obligations.
Net gains on trading securities decreased by ¥160.8 billion, from ¥192.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to ¥31.2 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. This decrease reflects weaker market conditions in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 as compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.

Net investment securities gains for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 were ¥291.4 billion, a decrease of ¥25.5 billion, or 8.1%, from ¥316.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. Net gains on sales of equity securities decreased primarily due to a decreased level of sales to realize cumulative unrealized equity gains reflecting UFJ Holdings ongoing strategy to reduce its exposure to equity securities. In addition, net gains on sales of equity securities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 include a gain of ¥40.2 billion from contributions to UFJ Banks and UFJ Trusts pension trusts which were not repeated in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. Impairment losses on equity securities improved by ¥90.4 billion from ¥122.9 billion in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to ¥32.5 billion in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 due primarily to a decrease in impairment losses on preferred stock. The decrease in impairment losses on preferred stock in turn reflected the incurrence of impairment losses in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 due to earlier restructurings of certain large borrowers other than those undertaken in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. Net gains on sales of debt securities and others increased by ¥35.8 billion from ¥35.8 billion in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to ¥71.6 billion in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 due primarily to sales of long term Japanese government bonds in improved bond market conditions.
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2004 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2003
Non-interest income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 was ¥1,149.9 billion, an increase of ¥605.5 billion, or 111.2%, from ¥544.4 billion for fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. This increase was due primarily to net trading account gains of ¥228.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 as compared to net trading account losses of ¥37.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 as well as an increase of ¥194.9 billion in net investment securities gains from ¥122.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥316.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 and an increase of ¥113.1 billion in net foreign exchange gains from a loss of ¥17.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to a gain of ¥95.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.
UFJ Holdings had fees and commissions income of ¥445.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, compared to ¥382.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase was due primarily to an increase of ¥21.8 billion in fees and commissions on securities business from ¥48.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥70.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, an increase of ¥16.8 billion in fees and commissions on credit card businesses from ¥16.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥33.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, and an increase of ¥17.3 billion in other fees and commissions from ¥73.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥91.2 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.
The increase in fees and commissions in the securities business reflects increased securities trading volumes due to improved market conditions as well as increased underwriting activity. The increase in fees and commissions on credit card business reflected the consolidation of UFJ Card since the beginning of October 2002. The increase in other fees and commissions reflected increased fees and commissions from investment fund management and insurance brokerage activities.
UFJ Holdings had net foreign exchange gains of ¥95.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, compared to net foreign exchange losses of ¥17.5 billion for the prior fiscal year. This improvement primarily reflected an increase in transaction gains on translation of monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currencies due to the appreciation of the Yen. All transaction gains or losses on translation of monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are included in current earnings. However, the transaction gains or losses on translation of securities available for sale, such as bonds denominated in foreign currencies, are not included in current earnings but are reflected in other changes in equity from nonowner sources.

This decrease was due primarily to a decrease in net profits on interest rate swaps and interest rate options.

These portfolios decreased in value in an increasing interest rate environment.

Net gains on sales of equity securities increased by ¥222.3 billion from ¥181.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥404.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. This increase was due primarily to realizing investment gains from the significant improvement in the Japanese stock market over the period. Impairment losses on equity securities improved by ¥142.4 billion from ¥265.3 billion in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥122.9 billion in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 due primarily to a higher level of common stock impairment in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 reflecting the significant decline in the Japanese stock market during that fiscal year. Net gains on sales of debt securities and others decreased by ¥169.8 billion from ¥205.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥35.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. This decrease was primarily due to worsening bond market conditions resulting from increases in interest rates.
25
In October 2003, a number of banks, including UFJ Bank and UFJ Trust Bank, entered into a settlement at court with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the Tokyo Governor and withdrew their complaints regarding the Tokyo Metropolitan Governments local tax on large banks. The settlement included a revision of the applicable tax rate to 0.9%, from 3.0%, effective retroactive to the date of enactment of the local tax for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001, and a refund representing the difference between the amount already paid by the banks and the amount computed based on the newly enacted rate plus accrued interest. As a result of this settlement, UFJ Holdings received an aggregate tax refund plus accrued interest of ¥25.7 billion in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, UFJ Holdings recorded losses of ¥35.3 billion on equity in earnings of affiliated companies as compared to gains of ¥0.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 due primarily to net losses recorded to Nippon Shinpan in the period.

Non-interest expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2005 were ¥617.6 billion, an increase of ¥67.0 billion, or 12.2%, from ¥550.6 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2004. This increase was due primarily to the increase in provision for acceptances and off-balance sheet credit instruments as well as other non-interest expenses which include expenses for the preparation of planned management integration.
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2005 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2004
Non-interest expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 were ¥1,182.7 billion, an increase of ¥202.8 billion, or 20.7%, from ¥979.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. This increase was due primarily to the consolidation of Nippon Shinpan and advisory service expenses related to UFJ Strategic Partner. This increase was slightly offset by a reduction in salaries and employee benefits.
26
On consolidation of Nippon Shinpan, UFJ Holdings recognized customer relationship, brand and trade name, and technology-related intangible assets of ¥162.3 billion. Amortization of these intangible assets in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 was ¥18.8 billion.
A general decrease in salaries and employee benefits of UFJ Holdings due to a reduction in headcount and of employee bonuses was partially offset by increased salaries and employee benefit costs of Nippon Shinpan of ¥52.4 billion.
Other non-interest expenses, which consists of administrative-related expenses, depreciation, disposal gains and losses and other expenses, increased by ¥121.8 billion from ¥266.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to ¥388.1 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. This increase reflects primarily other non-interest expenses associated with the consolidation of Nippon Shinpan.
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2004 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2003
Non-interest expenses decreased by ¥234.2 billion to ¥979.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 from ¥1,214.1 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. This decrease was primarily related to an impairment charge of ¥194.0 billion charged against UFJ Holdings trust business in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003.

Six Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared to Six Months Ended September 30, 2004
UFJ Holdings had income tax expense of ¥41.9 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2005 compared to ¥5.9 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2004. When UFJ Holdings was established on April 2, 2001, the business combination was accounted for as a purchase by Sanwa Bank of Tokai Bank and Toyo Trust. A valuation allowance was recognized for deferred tax assets in excess of the deferred tax liability for Tokai Bank and Toyo Trusts deductible temporary differences and operating loss at the acquisition date. For the period ended September 30, 2005, some tax benefits related to the deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry-forwards of Tokai Bank and Toyo Trust that existed at the acquisition were subsequently recognized and the respective reversal of the valuation allowance was accounted for by crediting goodwill instead of reducing reported income tax expense.
Similarly, as of April 1, 2004, Nippon Shinpan was newly consolidated and a valuation allowance was recognized for deferred tax assets. Subsequently, some tax benefits for deductible temporary differences were recognized for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, and the respective reversal of the valuation allowance was accounted for by crediting goodwill rather than decreasing income tax expense at March 31, 2005. No such benefits were recognized during the period ended September 30, 2005.
27
The normal effective statutory tax of UFJ Holdings was 42.0% and 40.7% for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively. Under local tax laws enacted in March 2003 for the fiscal years beginning after March 31, 2004, new uniform local taxes became effective. These new rules introduce value-added taxes and replace part of the existing local taxes based on income. The new local taxes are computed based on three components: (a) amount of profit, (b) amount of value-added (total payroll, net interest paid or received, net rent paid and income before use of net operating losses) and (c) amount of total paid-in capital. The taxes are computed by adding together the totals of each of the three components which are calculated separately. The enactment of the new uniform local tax laws mentioned above, will supersede the current local taxes, including the local taxes levied by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. New local tax laws enacted in March 2003 for fiscal years beginning after March 31, 2004 resulted in a decrease of 1.3% in the normal effective statutory tax rate of UFJ Holdings.
For the six months ended September 30, 2005, the effective income tax rate was 16.0%, which was 24.7% lower than the statutory tax rate of 40.7%. The lower tax rate was due primarily to the continuing adjustments to the valuation allowance. For the six months ended September 30, 2004, the effective income tax rate was 2.4%, which was 38.3% lower than the statutory tax rate of 40.7%. The lower tax rate primarily reflects the continuing adjustments to the valuation allowance.
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2005 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2004
UFJ Holdings had income tax expense of ¥143.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 compared to ¥95.6 billion for the year ended March 31, 2004. This increase was due primarily to the recognition of some tax benefits acquired from Tokai Bank, Toyo Trust and Nippon Shinpan for which a valuation allowance had been established at the acquisition date. The respective reduction in a valuation allowance was accounted for by crediting goodwill rather than income tax expenses.
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2004 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2003
UFJ Holdings had income tax expense of ¥95.6 billion for the year ended March 31, 2004 compared to income tax expense of ¥23.7 billion for the year ended March 31, 2003. This increase was due primarily to the recognition of some tax benefits acquired from Tokai Bank for which a valuation allowance had been established at the acquisition date. This reduction in valuation allowance of ¥64.3 billion was accounted for by crediting goodwill rather than income tax expense.

The effective income tax rate was 16.7% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, 24.0% lower than the normal effective statutory tax rate of 40.7%. This lower tax rate primarily reflected the continuing adjustments to the valuation allowance accounted against deferred tax at the rate of 91.9% at March 31, 2005.
The effective income tax rate was 13.5% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, 28.5% lower than the normal effective statutory tax rate of 42.0%. This lower tax rate primarily reflected the continuing adjustments to the valuation allowance accounted against deferred tax at the rate of 90.6% at March 31, 2004.
The effective income tax rate was (9.0%) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 in the context when pretax loss was posted for the period while the normal effective statutory tax rate was 42.0%. This difference in tax rate primarily reflected the enacted change in the tax rate, recognition of nondeductible impairment loss of goodwill and the continuing adjustments to the valuation allowance against deferred tax at the rate of 92.4% at March 31, 2003.
Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle, Net of Taxes
Upon adoption of FIN 46R, UFJ Holdings concluded that certain borrowers are variable interest entities for which UFJ Holdings is the primary beneficiary. UFJ Holdings consolidated these borrowers for the first time beginning April 1, 2004 and recognized a gain of ¥3.0 billion in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 due to cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, net of taxes. These entities included certain real estate businesses.
In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, UFJ Holdings recognized a loss of ¥3.0 billion due to cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, net of taxes, in respect of an asset retirement obligation on adoption of FAS 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. This relates to UFJ Holdings obligations in respect of leasehold improvements made to operating lease facilities whereby UFJ Holdings is required to return the facility to its original condition at the end of the lease term.
In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, UFJ Holdings recorded a loss of ¥62.0 billion due to cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, net of taxes, in relation to a transitional goodwill impairment charge of the trust business segment, on adoption of FAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
Extraordinary Gain, Net of Taxes
In connection with the June 2002 transaction between UFJ Capital Markets Securities and Tsubasa Securities that created UFJ Tsubasa Securities, ¥23.0 billion of excess of net assets acquired over consideration given was recorded. After reducing the recorded amount of acquired non-current non-financial assets, the remaining ¥12.3 billion of excess was credited to income as an extraordinary gain in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003.
Business Segment Analysis
UFJ Holdings measured the performance of each of its business segments primarily in terms of operating profit in accordance with the regulatory reporting requirements of the Financial Services Agency. Operating profit and other segment information are based on Japanese GAAP and are not consistent with UFJ Holdings financial statements prepared on the basis of U.S. GAAP.

In addition, this segment information does not include the results of operations of Nippon Shinpan, which was not deemed to be a consolidated subsidiary of UFJ Holdings under Japanese GAAP for the periods presented. If Nippon Shinpan were consolidated under Japanese GAAP, it would be reported within the retail banking business unit.

Retail Banking. Net revenue of UFJ Banks retail banking business group increased by ¥14.8 billion, or 3.7%, from ¥397.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to ¥412.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. This increase was due mainly to an increase in non-interest income from fees on investment products and ATM-related commissions. Interest income from housing loans contributed more than 45% of interest income in the retail banking business segment. Interest margins for housing loans decreased slightly due to market pricing competition, although this decline was more than offset by increased volumes, thus contributing to an overall increase in net revenue. Fees on investment products increased due to growth in product lines such as investment trust funds and insurance products and a significant increase in marketing and selling activities led to higher market penetration and hence increased customer demand. ATM-related commissions also increased as a result of enhanced customer convenience through alliances with consumer finance companies for cashing services and improved ATM functions. Operating expenses decreased by ¥0.8 billion, or 0.3%, from ¥303.0 billion to ¥302.2 billion. As a result of the foregoing, operating profit increased by ¥15.6 billion, or 16.3% from ¥94.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to ¥110.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.
Corporate Banking. Net revenue of UFJ Banks corporate banking business group increased by ¥25.8 billion, or 4.9%, from ¥526.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to ¥552.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. This increase was due mainly to an increase in fees and commissions generated by investment banking services, securities and trading, and derivatives. Due to weak corporate loan demand, interest income of UFJ Banks corporate banking decreased. To compensate for the decrease in interest income, UFJ Bank leveraged its experience with larger corporate customers to increase sales of investment banking and derivative products to small- and medium-sized customers who had historically not purchased large volumes of these products. As a result, corporate banking achieved an overall increase in net revenue. Operating expenses increased by ¥0.2 billion, or 0.1%, from ¥210.7 billion to ¥210.9 billion. As a result of the foregoing, operating profit increased by ¥25.6 billion, or 8.1% from ¥316.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to ¥341.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.
Global Banking and Trading. Net revenue of UFJ Banks global banking and trading business group decreased by ¥25.1 billion, or 11.8%, from ¥211.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to ¥186.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. This decrease was due mainly to adverse global trading conditions impacting proprietary trading. Net revenue decreased within commercial banking due to a decrease in interest margins partially offset by an increase in global demand for structured products. The overall impact as a result of the above changes was a decline in net revenues. Operating expenses decreased by ¥6.1 billion, or 9.1%, from ¥67.2 billion to ¥61.1 billion. As a result of the foregoing, operating profit decreased by ¥19.0 billion, or 13.1% from ¥144.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to ¥125.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.
Planning and Administration. Net revenue of UFJ Banks planning and administration business group decreased by ¥54.5 billion, or 28.4%, from ¥192.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to ¥137.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. This decrease was due mainly to smaller gains from sales of equity securities. Operating expenses decreased by ¥14.7 billion, or 86.2%, from ¥17.0 billion to ¥2.3 billion. As a result of the foregoing, operating profit decreased by ¥39.8 billion, or 22.8% from ¥175.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to ¥135.2 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.
UFJ Trust Bank. Net revenue of UFJ Trust Bank decreased by ¥6.6 billion, or 3.9%, from ¥168.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to ¥162.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. This decrease was due mainly to weaker corporate demand resulting in a reduction in loan origination. Offsetting this decrease was an increase in trust fees such as corporate agency fees. The overall impact was a decrease in net revenues of the trust business segment. Operating expenses decreased by ¥6.1 billion, or 7.5%, from ¥81.0 billion to ¥74.9 billion. As a result of the foregoing, operating profit decreased by ¥0.5 billion, or 0.5% from ¥87.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to ¥87.4 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.
32
Other. Net revenue of Other increased by ¥2.4 billion, or 3.4%, from ¥70.2 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to ¥72.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. This increase was due mainly to stronger performances from subsidiary companies such as Senshu Bank, which benefited from an increase in housing loan volumes. Operating expenses increased by ¥3.4 billion, or 6.4%, from ¥53.3 billion to ¥56.7 billion. As a result of the foregoing, operating profit decreased by ¥1.0 billion, or 5.8%, from ¥16.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 to ¥15.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.

Retail Banking. Net revenue of UFJ banks retail banking business group increased by ¥46.6 billion, or 13.3%, from ¥351.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥397.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. This increase was due mainly to increases in interest income from housing loans and fees and commissions generated by sales of investment products. Interest income from housing loans contributes more than 50% of interest income in the retail banking business segment. Increases in interest income from housing loan originations was achieved by an increased focus on developing relationships with housing contractors which lead to increased customer referrals and higher volumes of housing loan originations. Commissions received on investment products increased as additional sales staff were hired to actively market investment products. Operating expenses increased by ¥13.9 billion, or 4.8%, from ¥289.1 billion to ¥303.0 billion. As a result of the foregoing, operating profit increased by ¥32.7 billion, or 52.6% from ¥62.2 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥94.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.
Corporate Banking. Net revenue of UFJ Banks corporate banking business group increased by ¥25.4 billion, or 5.1%, from ¥501.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥526.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. This increase was due mainly to an increase in fees and commissions generated by investment banking, securities and derivatives activities. Fee and commission income increased in relation to investment banking activities as a result of increased sales of privately-placed bonds, particularly to small and medium sized borrowers. In addition, increased loan syndications and securitization programs helped contribute to increased fees and commission income. Operating expenses decreased by ¥22.3 billion, or 9.6%, from ¥233.0 billion to ¥210.7 billion. As a result of the foregoing, operating profit increased by ¥47.7 billion, or 17.8% from ¥268.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥316.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.
33
Global Banking and Trading. Net revenue of UFJ Banks global banking and trading business group decreased by ¥22.6 billion, or 9.6%, from ¥234.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥211.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. This decrease was due mainly to adverse global trading conditions impacting proprietary trading. Net revenue increased within commercial banking as global demand for structured products increased. The overall impact as a result of the above changes was a decline in net revenues. Operating expenses decreased by ¥24.1 billion, or 26.4%, from ¥91.3 billion to ¥67.2 billion. As a result of the foregoing, operating profit increased by ¥1.5 billion, or 1.0% from ¥143.2 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥144.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.
Planning and Administration. Net revenue of UFJ Banks planning and administration business group decreased by ¥39.5 billion, or 17.1%, from ¥231.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥192.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. This decrease was due mainly to smaller gains from sales of bonds reflecting worsening bond market conditions. Operating expenses increased to ¥17.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. As a result of the foregoing, operating profit decreased by ¥56.6 billion, or 24.4% from ¥231.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥175.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.
UFJ Trust Bank. Net revenue of UFJ Trust Bank decreased by ¥17.8 billion, or 9.5%, from ¥186.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥168.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. This decrease was due mainly to a decrease in profits earned on bond investments and the corporate banking business, reflecting weaker corporate loan demand. Revenue from trust fees remained relatively constant between periods. Operating expenses decreased by ¥3.6 billion, or 4.3%, from ¥84.6 billion to ¥81.0 billion. As a result of the foregoing, operating profit decreased by ¥14.2 billion, or 13.9% from ¥102.1 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥87.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.
Other. Net revenue of Other increased by ¥19.0 billion, or 37.1%, from ¥51.2 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to ¥70.2 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. This increase was due mainly to stronger performances from other subsidiary companies such as UFJ Tsubasa Securities which benefited from an increase in market brokerage volumes as the Japanese stock market improved over the period. Operating expenses were unchanged at ¥53.3 billion. As a result of the foregoing, there was a change from an operating loss of ¥2.1 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to operating profit of ¥16.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.

Financial Condition
Total Assets
UFJ Holdings total assets were ¥82.0 trillion at September 30, 2005, a 1.4% decrease compared to ¥83.2 trillion at March 31, 2005. This decrease was due primarily to a decrease of ¥1.6 trillion in trading account assets.
UFJ Holdings total assets were ¥83.2 trillion at March 31, 2005, a 3.2% increase compared to ¥80.6 trillion at March 31, 2004. This increase was due primarily to an increase of ¥2.1 trillion in trading account assets, ¥1.3 trillion in cash and due from banks and ¥1.2 trillion in receivables under reverse repurchase agreements, partially offset by decreases of ¥3.5 trillion in loans outstanding, net of unearned income and deferred loan fees. The amount of loans outstanding as of March 31, 2005 included ¥1.5 trillion of loans from Nippon Shinpan that were newly consolidated.
Total assets at March 31, 2004 were ¥80.6 trillion, an increase of 4.3% from ¥77.3 trillion at March 31, 2003. This increase was due primarily to an increase of ¥3.2 trillion in investment securities, partially offset by a decrease of ¥1.3 trillion in loans outstanding, net of unearned income and deferred loan fees.

At September 30, 2005, UFJ Holdings total loans were ¥42.4 trillion, an increase of 1.2% as compared to March 31, 2005. This increase was due primarily to an increase in mortgage loans resulting from the improving economy in Japan.
At March 31, 2005, UFJ Holdings total loans were ¥41.9 trillion, a decrease of 7.7% as compared to March 31, 2004. This decrease was attributable primarily to lower originations due to weak demand from domestic corporate sectors as well as efforts to reduce nonperforming loans through sales of loans, debt-for-equity swaps and charge-offs. This was partially offset by an increase in consumer loans primarily resulting from the inclusion of loans made by Nippon Shinpan.
At March 31, 2004, UFJ Holdings total loans were ¥45.4 trillion, a decrease of 2.8% from ¥46.7 trillion at March 31, 2003. This decrease was attributable primarily to lower originations due to weak demand from domestic corporate sectors as well as efforts to reduce nonperforming loans through sales of loans, debt-for-equity swaps and charge-offs.

Charge-offs
Six Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared to Six Months Ended September 30, 2004
Charge-offs were ¥139.0 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2005, a decrease of ¥537.0 billion, or 79.4%, compared to ¥676.0 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2004. This decrease was due to the decrease of charge-offs for certain large borrowers implementing restructuring plans.
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2005 Compared to Fiscal year Ended March 31, 2004
Charge-offs were ¥1,688.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, an increase of ¥539.8 billion, or 47.0%, compared to ¥1,148.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. This increase reflected a significant effort by UFJ Holdings to sell or restructure certain remaining large levels of corporate exposure in its portfolio.
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2004 Compared to Fiscal year Ended March 31, 2003
Charge-offs were ¥1,148.8 billion for the year ended March 31, 2004, an increase of ¥251.7 billion, or 28.1%, compared to ¥897.1 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. This increase reflected an increase in the amount of loans specifically identified as impaired being charged off during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 as a result of UFJ Holdings efforts to work out large corporate problem loans in its portfolio. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in charge-offs on large borrowers, the restructuring of which were not completed until after March 31, 2004.
36
Charge-offs were higher compared to provisions for loan losses during these periods because UFJ Holdings had largely identified its impaired loans in years before the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. Allowances required after March 31, 2003 for newly impaired loans were significantly lower than the charge-offs on UFJ Holdings existing portfolio of impaired loans.
Others
Others increased to ¥122.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 primarily due to the inclusion of an allowance for loan losses relating to Nippon Shinpan, which was consolidated from April 1, 2004.
Change in Total Allowance for Loan Losses
At September 30, 2005, total allowance for loan losses was ¥1,029.2 billion, a decrease of ¥12.6 billion compared to ¥1,041.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, or 2.4% of UFJ Holdings total loan portfolio and 46.2% of total nonaccrual and restructured loans and loans contractually past due 90 days or more. The decrease reflected an overall improvement of loan quality. The allowance for large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans and other loans decreased by ¥203.3 billion, or 38.8%, from ¥523.7 billion at March 31, 2005 to ¥320.4 billion at September 30, 2005. However, as provision for loan losses surpassed net charge-offs for specifically identified problem loans, the allowance for specifically identified problem loans increased by ¥190.7 billion, or 36.8%, from ¥518.1 billion at March 31, 2005 to ¥708.8 billion at September 30, 2005.
At March 31, 2005, total allowance for loan losses was ¥1,041.8 billion, or 2.5% of UFJ Holdings total loan portfolio and 44.8% of total nonaccrual and restructured loans and loans contractually past due 90 days or more. At March 31, 2004, the total allowance for loan losses was ¥2,438.3 billion, or 5.4% of the total loan portfolio and 48.0% of total nonaccrual and restructured loans and loans contractually past due 90 days or more. At March 31, 2003, the total allowance for loan losses was ¥3,195.2 billion, or 6.8% of the total loan portfolio and 44.6% of total nonaccrual and restructured loans and loans contractually past due 90 days or more. The decreases in allowance for loan losses reflect both improvement in the Japanese economy and efforts to reduce problem loans by means of charge-offs, collection and various government-led support measures for the revival of borrowers. Allowances on large borrowers represented the majority of the total allowance for loan losses for specifically identified problem loans in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2003 and 2004. However, due to a significant amount of restructuring of loans to certain large borrowers in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, the proportion of the allowance for large borrowers to the total allowance for loan losses for specifically identified problem loans at March 31, 2005 was significantly reduced.
Allowance Policy
UFJ Holdings credit rating system was closely linked to the risk grading standards set by the Financial Services Agency for asset evaluation and assessment, and was used as a basis for establishing the allowance for loan losses and charge-offs. The categorization was based on conditions that might affect the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as current financial condition and results of operations, historical payment experience, credit documentation, other public information and current trends.
Allowance for Specifically Identified Problem Loans
The loan loss allowance for specifically identified problem loans represents the allowance against impaired loans required by SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. Impaired loans primarily include nonaccrual loans and restructured loans. UFJ Holdings discontinued accrual of interest income on loans when substantial doubt existed as to the full and timely collection of either principal or interest or generally, when principal or interest was contractually past due one month or more. Loans were classified as restructured loans if UFJ Holdings granted a concession to the borrowers for economic or legal reasons related to the borrowers financial difficulties. Even though these loans could be in an accruing loans status, they were classified as restructured loans. Detailed reviews of loans were performed annually or semiannually depending
37
on the level of credit risk. In addition, as part of an ongoing credit review process, UFJ Holdings credit officers monitored changes in all customers creditworthiness including bankruptcy, past due principal or interest, downgrading of external credit rating, declining stock price, business restructuring and other events and reassessed borrowers ratings in response to such events. This credit monitoring process formed an integral part of UFJ Holdings overall control process. An impaired loan was evaluated individually based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate, the loans observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan was collateral-dependent at a balance sheet date.
The loan loss allowance for specifically identified problem loans was ¥2,644.2 billion, ¥1,966.7 billion, ¥518.1 billion and ¥708.8 billion at March 31, 2003, 2004, 2005, and September 30, 2005, respectively.
The allowance for specifically identified problem loans increased by ¥190.7 billion, or 36.8%, from ¥518.1 billion at March 31, 2005 to ¥708.8 billion at September 30, 2005. The allowance for certain large borrowers was significantly reduced as a result of IRCJ-assisted revitalization and other restructurings in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. The increase from March 31, 2005 to September 30, 2005 was due primarily to an increase in the allowance for small- and medium-sized borrowers, reflecting downgrades of their credit ratings.
The decrease between March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2005 reflected an improvement in the lending environment in Japan and a decrease in loan loss allowance for large borrowers, as a result of certain large borrowers implementing restructuring plans as discussed under Restructurings of Certain Large Borrowers.

Total nonaccrual loans were ¥1,813.6 billion at March 31, 2005, a decrease of ¥3,092.3 billion, or 63.0%, from ¥4,905.9 billion at March 31, 2004. Total nonaccrual loans were ¥4,905.9 billion at March 31, 2004, a decrease of ¥2,048.7 billion, or 29.5%, from ¥6,954.6 billion at March 31, 2003.
Total restructured loans were ¥414.5 billion at September 30, 2005, a decrease of ¥87.0 billion, or 17.4%, from ¥501.5 billion at March 31, 2005. This decrease reflected the repayment of certain restructured large borrowers during the period to September 30, 2005. Total restructured loans were ¥501.5 billion at March 31, 2005, an increase of ¥342.3 billion, or 215.0%, from ¥159.2 billion at March 31, 2004. This increase reflected reclassifications of certain restructured large borrowers from nonaccrual loans to restructured loans during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. Total restructured loans were ¥159.2 billion at March 31, 2004, a decrease of ¥33.1 billion, or 17.2%, from ¥192.3 billion at March 31, 2003.
Changes in nonaccrual loans and restructured loans are highly correlated to movements in a small group of large borrowers experiencing weak economic performance. The reduction in exposure to these large borrowers was achieved through a variety of measures, including debt forgiveness, debt-equity swaps and loan sales. Outside this group of large borrowers, similar reductions in nonaccrual loans were achieved primarily through loan sales, recoveries or charge-offs. The face value of loans that were swapped or approved to be swapped for equity during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 and the six months ended September 30, 2005 were ¥101.4 billion, ¥106.7 billion, ¥372.6 billion and ¥11.0 billion, respectively. The higher amount of debt-equity swaps in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 compared to each of the prior two fiscal years is the result of the restructuring of certain large borrowers. See Restructurings of Certain Large Borrowers.
Allowance for Large Groups of Smaller-Balance Homogeneous Loans and Other Loans
The allowance for large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans and other loans was focused on loss experience for each pool rather than on an analysis of individual loans. Large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans and other loans primarily consisted of commercial loans, mortgage housing loans and other consumer loans. The allowance for groups of performing loans was based on historical loss experience over a period. In determining the level of the allowance for different groups of loans, UFJ Holdings classified groups of homogeneous loans based on the risk rating, loan size and industry. The loss experience was usually determined by reviewing the levels of historical charge-offs but also required an evaluation of the conditions that might not be directly, or sufficiently, addressed in the quantitative processes that formed the basis for determining the allowance. These conditions included the following, as UFJ Holdings management understood them at the balance sheet date:
| general economic and business conditions affecting key lending areas; |
| credit quality trends, including trends in nonperforming loans expected to result from existing conditions; |
| loan volumes and concentrations; |
| seasoning of the loan portfolio; |
| specific industry conditions within portfolio segments; |
| unusual trends in recent loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio; |
| duration of, and position in, the current business cycle; |
| bank regulatory examination results; and |
| findings of internal credit examiners. |

The loan loss allowance for large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans and other loans was ¥320.4 billion at September 30, 2005, a decrease of ¥203.3 billion, or 38.8%, from ¥523.7 billion at March 31, 2005. This decrease was primarily due to an improvement of historical loss experience reflecting steady economic performance, and also due to reclassifications of loans for certain borrowers as specifically identified problem loans due to downgrades of their credit rating.
The loan loss allowance for large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans and other loans was ¥551.0 billion, ¥471.6 billion and ¥523.7 billion at March 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively.
The decrease between March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2004 reflects an improvement in the lending environment in Japan and a steady improvement in the quality of UFJ Holdings loan portfolio in particular. An increased focus on identifying and addressing problem loans throughout the periods under consideration, combined with improved credit rating procedures, additional collections and collateral obtained, resulted in a lower incidence of impairment events which resulted in a steady deduction in allowance rates. Although these favorable trends continued in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, allowances for loan losses related to certain restructured large borrowers and Nippon Shinpan were newly included in the overall allowance for large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans and other loans at March 31, 2005, which resulted in an overall increase in the general allowance at that date.
Investment Portfolio
UFJ Holdings investment securities were primarily comprised of Japanese national government and Japanese government agency bonds, which were classified as available-for-sale securities.
Investment securities slightly increased from ¥20.3 trillion at March 31, 2005 to ¥20.4 trillion at September 30, 2005.
Investment securities increased 18.6%, from ¥17.2 trillion at March 31, 2003 to ¥20.4 trillion at March 31, 2004 and then slightly decreased 0.7% to ¥20.3 trillion at March 31, 2005. This decrease resulted from a reduction in foreign bonds holdings to reduce market risks. At March 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, gross unrealized gains on investment securities were ¥574.1 billion, ¥767.9 billion and ¥740.0 billion, respectively, and gross unrealized losses on investment securities were ¥24.1 billion, ¥39.5 billion and ¥32.7 billion, respectively.
Cash and Due from Banks
Cash and due from banks increased 13.3%, from ¥4.9 trillion at March 31, 2005 to ¥5.6 trillion at September 30, 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of demand deposits with the Bank of Japan in order to ensure sufficient liquidity for settlement in inter-bank systems.
Cash and due from banks decreased slightly from ¥3.7 trillion at March 31, 2003 to ¥3.6 trillion at March 31, 2004, and then increased by ¥1.3 trillion, or 36.0%, to ¥4.9 trillion at March 31, 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of demand deposits with the Bank of Japan in order to ensure sufficient liquidity for settlement in inter-bank systems.
Interest-Earning Deposits in Other Banks
Interest-earning deposits in other banks fluctuate significantly from day to day depending upon financial market conditions. Interest-earning deposits in other banks decreased 15.9%, from ¥1.1 trillion at March 31, 2005 to ¥0.9 trillion at September 30, 2005.
Interest-earning deposits in other banks decreased 9.2%, from ¥1.0 trillion at March 31, 2003 to ¥0.9 trillion at March 31, 2004 and increased 24.1% to ¥1.1 trillion at March 31, 2005. These movements primarily reflected the daily operation and liquidity needs of the UFJ group and money market conditions.
40
Total Liabilities
Total liabilities decreased 2.0%, from ¥81.1 trillion at March 31, 2005 to ¥79.5 trillion at September 30, 2005. This decrease was due primarily to decreases of ¥1.4 trillion in payables under securities lending transactions, ¥1.2 trillion in deposits and ¥1.1 trillion in trading account liabilities, partially offset by increases of other short term borrowings, payables under repurchase agreements and call money and fund purchases.
Total liabilities were ¥81.1 trillion at March 31, 2005, an increase of ¥1.9 trillion as compared to March 31, 2004. This increase was due primarily to increases of ¥2.2 trillion in payables under repurchase agreements, ¥1.7 trillion in long-term debt and ¥1.6 trillion in trading account liabilities, partially offset by decreases of ¥4.0 trillion in deposits.
At March 31, 2004, total liabilities were ¥79.2 trillion, an increase of ¥2.2 trillion from ¥77.0 trillion at March 31, 2003. This increase primarily reflected an increase of ¥2.4 trillion in deposits, partially offset by a decrease of ¥1.1 trillion in payables under securities lending transactions.
Sources of Funding and Liquidity
UFJ Holdings primary source of liquidity was from a large balance of deposits, mainly ordinary deposits, certificates of deposit and time deposits.
At September 30, 2005, UFJ Holdings deposits were ¥53.3 trillion and exceeded loans, net of unearned income and deferred loan fees, by ¥10.9 trillion.
At March 31, 2005, UFJ Holdings deposits were ¥54.6 trillion and exceeded loans, net of unearned income and deferred loan fees, by ¥12.7 trillion. These deposits provide UFJ Holdings with a sizable source of stable and low-cost funds. While approximately 80.8% of certificates of deposit and time deposits mature within one year, UFJ Holdings continuously monitored relevant interest rate characteristics of these funds and utilized asset and liability management techniques to manage the possible impact of the rollovers on its net interest margin and liquidity. UFJ Holdings deposits and stockholders equity was equal to 74.3% of its total assets at March 31, 2004, 68.1% of its total assets at March 31, 2005 and 68.1% of its total assets at September 30, 2005. UFJ Holdings also increased its liquidity in September 2004 by issuing ¥700 billion of UFJ Bank preferred stock to MTFG.
Most of the remaining funding was provided by short-term borrowings and long-term senior and subordinated debt. Short-term borrowings consisted of call money and funds purchased, payables under repurchase agreements, payables under securities lending transactions, due to trust account and other short-term borrowings. From time to time, UFJ Holdings issued long-term instruments such as bonds and long-term borrowings with mainly over five years maturity. Liquidity was also provided by the sale of financial assets, including securities available for sale, trading account securities and loans. Additional liquidity was provided by the maturity of loans.
Deposits
Deposits decreased 2.3%, from ¥54.6 trillion at March 31, 2005 to ¥53.3 trillion at September 30, 2005. This decrease reflected a decrease of ¥3.4 trillion in interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by an increase of ¥2.1 trillion in non-interest-bearing deposits.
Deposits were ¥54.6 trillion at March 31, 2005, a decrease of ¥3.9 trillion, or 6.8%, from ¥58.5 trillion at March 31, 2004. This decrease reflected a decrease of ¥8.7 trillion in interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by an increase of ¥4.8 trillion in non-interest-bearing deposits. These changes reflected a shift by customers to accounts at other banks and to government-insured non-interest-bearing accounts as certain limits were imposed on government-insured interest-bearing accounts as of April 1, 2005.
41
Deposits were ¥58.5 trillion at March 31, 2004, an increase of ¥2.4 trillion, or 4.3%, from ¥56.1 trillion at March 31, 2003. This increase reflected increases of ¥2.1 trillion in interest-bearing deposits and ¥0.3 trillion in non-interest-bearing deposits.
Short-term Borrowings
Short-term borrowings increased 4.2%, from ¥13.4 trillion at March 31, 2005 to ¥14.0 trillion at September 30, 2005.
Short-term borrowings were ¥13.4 trillion at March 31, 2005, an increase of ¥2.0 trillion, or 17.8%, as compared to March 31, 2004. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in payable under repurchase agreements in connection with the daily money market operations of the UFJ group.
Short-term borrowings decreased by ¥1.2 trillion, or 9.5%, from ¥12.6 trillion at March 31, 2003 to ¥11.4 trillion at March 31, 2004. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in payables under securities lending transactions in connection with the daily money market operations of the UFJ group.
Long-term Debt
Long-term debt decreased 2.0%, from ¥5.9 trillion at March 31, 2005 to ¥5.8 trillion at September 30, 2005 due to the redemption on September 30, 2005 of ¥100 billion of perpetual unsecured subordinated bonds issued by UFJ Holdings.
Long-term debt increased from ¥3.7 trillion at March 31, 2003 to ¥4.2 trillion at March 31, 2004, and increased an additional ¥1.7 trillion to ¥5.9 trillion at March 31, 2005. The most recent increase was due to the consolidation of Nippon Shinpan and an increase in loan participation borrowings.

Total stockholders equity increased 20.7%, from ¥2,097.5 billion at March 31, 2005 to ¥2,530.9 billion at September 30, 2005. These increases were principally attributable to an improvement in accumulated deficit from a deficit of ¥2,031.3 billion to a deficit of ¥1,825.7 billion due to net income of ¥219.8 billion for the six months ended September 30, 2005.
Total stockholders equity was ¥2,097.5 billion at March 31, 2005, an increase of ¥662.7 billion, or 46.2%, as compared to ¥1,434.8 billion at March 31, 2004, and the ratio of total stockholders equity to total assets increased to 2.52% at March 31, 2005 from 1.78% at March 31, 2004.

These increases were principally attributable to an improvement in accumulated deficit from a deficit of ¥3,289.5 billion to a deficit of ¥2,709.7 billion resulting from net income of ¥607.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.
Due to a large holding of marketable Japanese equity securities and the volatility of the equity markets in Japan, changes in the fair value of marketable equity securities significantly affected UFJ Holdings stockholders equity. The following table presents information relating to the accumulated net unrealized gains before tax effect in respect of marketable equity securities at the dates indicated:

The increase in accumulated net unrealized gains on marketable equity securities at September 30, 2005 as compared to March 31, 2005 was mainly due to a higher stock price compared to March 31, 2005.
The decrease in accumulated net unrealized gains on marketable equity securities at March 31, 2005 as compared to March 31, 2004 was mainly due to a lower level of equity holdings compared to the previous fiscal year.
The increase in accumulated net unrealized gains on marketable equity securities at March 31, 2004 as compared to March 31, 2003 was mainly due to the improvement in the Japanese stock market compared to the previous fiscal year.
Capital Adequacy
Capital Requirements for Banks in Japan
A Japanese bank is subject to minimum capital adequacy requirements both on a consolidated basis and a stand-alone basis, and is required to maintain the minimum capital irrespective of whether it operates independently or as a subsidiary under the control of another company. A bank holding company is also subject to minimum capital adequacy requirements on a consolidated basis. Under the Financial Services Agencys guidelines, capital is classified into three tiers, referred to as Tier I, Tier II and Tier III. UFJ Holdings Tier I capital generally consisted of stockholders equity items, including common stock, non-cumulative preferred stock, capital surplus, minority interests and retained earnings (which reflects tax adjustments including deferred tax assets), but recorded goodwill and other items, such as treasury stock, were deducted from Tier I capital. UFJ Holdings Tier II generally consisted of general reserves for credit losses up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets, 45% of the unrealized gains on investment securities available for sale, 45% of the land revaluation excess, the balance of perpetual subordinated debt and the balance of subordinated term debt with an original maturity of over five years subject to certain limitations, up to 50% of Tier I capital. UFJ Holdings did not have any Tier III capital, which consists of short-term subordinated debt with an original maturity of at least two years, subject to certain limitations. At least 50% of the minimum capital requirements must be maintained in the form of Tier I capital.
Under the Japanese regulatory capital requirements, UFJ Holdings consolidated capital components, including Tier I, Tier II and risk-weighted assets are calculated from UFJ Holdings consolidated financial statements prepared under Japanese GAAP. Also, the consolidated and stand-alone capital components of UFJ Bank and UFJ Trust Bank are calculated from consolidated and non-consolidated financial statements prepared under Japanese GAAP.
43
Capital Requirements for Securities Firms
UFJ Holdings had securities subsidiaries in Japan and overseas, which were also subject to regulatory capital requirements. In Japan, under the Securities and Exchange Law, securities companies are required to maintain adjusted capital at specified levels as compared with the quantified total of their business risks on a non-consolidated basis. Article 52 of the Securities and Exchange Law requires securities companies to file month-end reports regarding their capital adequacy ratio, which is the ratio of adjusted capital to a quantified total of business risks, to the Commissioner of the Financial Services Agency or the Director General of the Local Finance Bureau, and to disclose their capital adequacy ratio to the public on a quarterly basis. A securities company must also file a report on a daily basis with the Commissioner of the Financial Services Agency or the Director General of the Local Finance Bureau if its capital adequacy ratio falls below 140%. Article 56-2 of the Securities and Exchange Law determines the actions which the Prime Minister, through the Commissioner of the Financial Services Agency, may take if the ratio falls further. Specifically, if the ratio falls below 120%, the Commissioner of the Financial Services Agency may order the securities company to change its method of business or to deposit its property in trust, or order other measures for the public interest and investor protection if necessary. A securities company whose ratio falls below 100% may be subject to additional proceedings, including temporary suspension of its business and revocation of its registration as a securities company if there is no prospect that the ratio will recover three months after the suspension came into effect. Overseas securities subsidiaries are subject to the relevant regulatory capital requirements of the countries or jurisdictions in which they operate. At September 30, 2005, UFJ Tsubasa Securities capital accounts, less certain illiquid assets, were ¥193.9 billion (unaudited), or 515.8% of total amounts equivalent to market, counterparty credit and operations risks.

UFJ Holdings total risk-based capital ratio increased 1.28 percentage points from 10.39% at March 31, 2005 to 11.67% at September 30, 2005. This increase was due primarily to net income of ¥411.1 billion under Japanese GAAP for the six months ended September 30, 2005.
44
One of the main components of UFJ Holdings Tier I capital was the various classes of preferred stock issued to the Resolution and Collection Corporation of Japan. In March 1999, each of Sanwa Bank, Tokai Bank and Toyo Trust issued various classes of preferred stock to the Resolution and Collection Corporation, which was then named the Resolution and Collection Bank. These shares were exchanged into shares of preferred stock of UFJ Holdings effective April 2, 2001. The initial subscription by the Resolution and Collection Corporation was described as a temporary injection of capital, and the Resolution and Collection Corporation was directed to dispose of the shares as promptly as practicable. Banks that received public funds were also encouraged to redeem the shares in the future after improving their financial position. The preferred stock owned by the Resolution and Collection Corporation at September 30, 2005 was as follows:
| Class II preferred stock: Annual dividends on the class II preferred stock are payable on a noncumulative basis at rate of ¥15,900 per share. The class II preferred stock is convertible into ordinary shares of UFJ Holdings at an initial conversion price of ¥1,050,000 per ordinary share, subject to reset and adjustment, at the option of the Resolution and Collection Corporation at any time until July 31, 2008, and on a mandatory basis on August 1, 2008. |
| Class IV preferred stock: Annual dividends on the class IV preferred stock are payable on a noncumulative basis at rate of ¥18,600 per share. The class IV preferred stock is convertible into ordinary shares of UFJ Holdings at an initial conversion ratio of 2.202 ordinary shares per class IV preferred stock as of April 2, 2001, subject to reset and adjustment, at the option of the Resolution and Collection Corporation at any time until March 30, 2009, and on a mandatory basis on March 31, 2009. |
| Class V preferred stock: Annual dividends on the class V preferred stock are payable on a noncumulative basis at rate of ¥19,400 per share. The class V preferred stock is convertible into ordinary shares of UFJ Holdings at an initial conversion ratio of 2.202 ordinary shares per class V preferred stock as of April 2, 2001, subject to adjustment, at the option of the Resolution and Collection Corporation at any time until March 30, 2009, and on a mandatory basis on March 31, 2009. |
| Class VII preferred stock: Annual dividends on the class VII preferred stock are payable on a noncumulative basis at rate of ¥11,500 per share. The class VII preferred stock is convertible into ordinary shares of UFJ Holdings at an initial conversion price of ¥704,300 per ordinary share, subject to adjustment, at the option of the Resolution and Collection Corporation at any time until July 31, 2009, and on a mandatory basis on August 1, 2009. |
The Resolution and Collection Corporation also held ¥100 billion of perpetual unsecured subordinated bonds issued by UFJ Holdings. UFJ Holdings redeemed the bonds at September 30, 2005.
Another significant component of UFJ Holdings Tier I capital was minority interests, which included preferred stock issued by UFJ Holdings subsidiaries, primarily offshore funding vehicles, to third-party investors. The total amounts of preferred stock included in minority interests was ¥628.9 billion, ¥616.1 billion, ¥613.2 billion and ¥619.6 billion at March 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 and September 30, 2005, respectively. The ability of proceeds from these transactions to be counted towards Tier I capital was constrained by the amount of other Tier I capital and the amount of other similar transactions at the time of issuance.
Minority interests at September 30, 2005 also included ¥700 billion of preferred stock of UFJ Bank issued to MTFG and ¥120 billion in non-voting preferred stock of UFJ Strategic Partner issued to Merrill Lynch. UFJ Bank held all the common shares and all the voting rights of UFJ Strategic Partner. As an incentive to increase the value of UFJ Strategic Partner, Merrill Lynch was granted options to acquire additional non-voting preferred stock. Upon the occurrence of certain events, including the non-payment of dividends on the preferred stock for three consecutive fiscal years, specified insolvency and business suspension events of UFJ Bank or a change in control of UFJ Holdings, Merrill Lynch would be able to obtain control of UFJ Strategic Partner and could then terminate the venture. In the event that Merrill Lynch exercised this option, UFJ Bank had the right to purchase the preferred stock at a premium based upon the performance of the loan portfolio held by UFJ Strategic Partner.

The contractual amounts of these guarantees and other off-balance sheet instruments represent the amounts at risk should the contracts be fully drawn upon with a subsequent default by UFJ Holdings customer and a decline in the value of the underlying collateral. Because many of these commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total contractual or notional amounts of these commitments do not necessarily represent UFJ Holdings or our future cash requirements.
UFJ Holdings maintained an allowance for losses on its off-balance sheet arrangements. This allowance was included in other liabilities. The allowance for losses on off-balance sheet credit instruments was ¥67.5 billion, ¥68.4 billion, ¥80.3 billion and ¥103.2 billion at March 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, and September 30, 2005, respectively.
Variable Interest Entities
Securitization Conduits and Financing Vehicles of Client Properties
The UFJ group administered conduits that purchased financial and other assets from the UFJ groups customers. These assets included loans, trade receivables and beneficiary interests in real estate trusts. Also, the UFJ group extended credits to certain entities that provided financing to the UFJ groups customers. These entities were typically funded by borrowings from the UFJ group or third parties, investments under partnership agreements from customers, or both. While customers generally continued to service the assets transferred, the UFJ group underwrote, distributed, made a market in commercial paper issued by the conduits, and also provided liquidity and credit support facilities to the entities. In certain transactions in which the UFJ group underwrote the instruments issued by the conduits, it provided interim funds until it found third-party investors. In this type of arrangement, the owner of real estate properties received financing from the entity that was secured by the property.
47
In addition, the UFJ group extended non-recourse asset-backed loans to special purpose entities, which financed development projects including real estate development and natural resource development managed by third parties, who were typically the equity owner of the special purpose entities. The UFJ group generally acted as a member of a lending group, and was not exposed to a majority of the expected losses of these entities.
At September 30, 2005, the total assets of, and the UFJ groups maximum exposure to, the conduits and vehicles that the UFJ group was not deemed to be the primary beneficiary amounted to ¥50,512.8 billion and ¥655.6 billion, respectively.
Investment Funds and Vehicles
The UFJ group held investments in various investment funds that collectively invested in equity and debt securities including listed Japanese securities and investment grade bonds, and, to a limited extent, securities and other interests issued by companies in a start-up or restructuring stage. Some of those funds were managed by investment advisory companies or fund management companies that made investment decisions and administer the funds. Since the equity holders do not have the substantive decision-making power and they do not have kick-out rights on the investment manager, these investment funds are deemed to be variable interest entities. As of September 30, 2005, these investment funds and vehicles had total assets of ¥16,800.8 billion and the UFJ group was exposed to a maximum loss of ¥553.8 billion.
Trust Arrangements
In addition to the above entities, the UFJ group offered a variety of trust products and managed and administered a wide range of trust arrangements including securities investment trusts, pension trusts and trusts used in the securitization of assets originated by and transferred to third parties. In a typical trust arrangement, the UFJ group managed and administered the assets on behalf of the customers in an agency, fiduciary and trust capacity. In principle, the UFJ group did not assume risks associated with the entrusted assets, which were borne by the customers, although in limited cases the UFJ group assumed risks through guarantees or certain protections as provided in the trust agreement. The UFJ group, however, was not a primary beneficiary of these trusts because the majority of the risks and rewards belonged to the holders of beneficiary certificates, and the guarantees and protections were called upon only in limited circumstances.
Financing Vehicles and Others
At September 30, 2005, the UFJ group had 11 wholly-owned financing vehicles that were formed to issue preferred securities to third-party investors.
At March 31, 2004, these financing vehicles were consolidated as UFJ Holdings subsidiaries under the existing standards that were effective before the adoption of FIN 46R. Common stock of and loans to the financing vehicles were eliminated in the consolidated balance sheet, and the preferred securities issued by the financing vehicles were classified as minority interests. Upon adopting FIN No. 46R, UFJ Holdings deconsolidated the financing vehicles, and ¥1,231.2 billion of subordinated debt the UFJ group issued to the financing vehicles were reflected as long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2005.
Further, the UFJ group extended credits, along with other financial institutions, to numerous financing entities that provided project finance or financing on acquisitions of aircraft or large commercial vessels. The source of repayment by the entities was primarily the lease payments from the lessee. In this type of arrangement, the lessee generally assumed the risks and rewards of the entity, and the UFJ group extended loans based on the credit quality of the lessee, as the UFJ group did not participate in the economics of the assets being financed by the entity.

Non-exchange Traded Contracts Accounted for at Fair Value
UFJ Holdings used non-exchange traded or over-the-counter contracts to adapt to the varied requirements of a wide customer base while mitigating market risks. Non-exchange traded contracts were accounted for at fair value, which was generally based on pricing models or quoted market prices for instruments with similar characteristics. Gains or losses on non-exchange traded contracts were included in Trading account gains (losses)net in UFJ Holdings consolidated statements of operations. These contracts consisted primarily of crude oil commodity contracts. The following table summarizes the changes in fair value of non-exchange traded contracts for the periods indicated:

Quantitative market risks fluctuate throughout the year, reflecting the reaction of trading activities to market volatility. Although market conditions were often volatile during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, the UFJ groups trading-related revenue was relatively stable, with positive trading-related revenue recorded for 170 of 245 trading days during the period. Furthermore, the amount of trading-related revenue per day was kept within a stable range, with 11 days of positive revenue and no days of negative revenue exceeding ¥1 billion.
51
Backtesting
Backtesting was used to evaluate the accuracy of risk calculations by comparing the VaR with actual gains and losses over a specific period. The reliability of the risk measurement model can be verified if the number of times gains and losses exceed VaR is within the forecast range.
Stress Testing
The UFJ group calculated, on a daily basis, the predicted losses of its current positions in each market sector, applying the worst ten-day volatility recorded during the observation period of 750 business days for UFJ Bank and the worst one-day volatility recorded during an observation period of two years for UFJ Trust Bank. As of March 31, 2005, UFJ Bank held a total trading activity position of ¥6.4 billion of predicted loss of trading positions as compared to ¥10.3 billion as of March 31, 2004. UFJ Trust Bank held a total trading activity position of ¥0.03 billion of predicted loss of trading positions as of March 31, 2005, relatively unchanged from March 31, 2004.
Non-trading Activities
VaR for risks related to the UFJ groups strategic equity portfolio as of March 31, 2005, based on a 10-day holding period, was ¥116.8 billion for UFJ Bank and UFJ Trust Bank on a simple combined basis, a ¥36.0 billion decrease from March 31, 2004. VaR for risks related to the UFJ groups Yen-denominated bond portfolio was ¥94.4 billion as of March 31, 2005, a decrease of ¥62.7 billion from ¥157.1 billion as of March 31, 2004. These decreases reflect decreases in the UFJ groups equity portfolio and in medium- and long-term Yen-denominated bonds.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF SEMI-ANNUAL CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited semi-annual condensed consolidated financial statements are stated in Japanese Yen, the currency of the country in which UFJ Holdings, Inc. (UFJ Holdings) is incorporated and principally operates. Such condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of UFJ Holdings and its subsidiaries (collectively, the UFJ Group) and reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of amounts involved to conform with generally accepted accounting principles and prevailing practices within the banking industry in the United States of America (US GAAP). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. Certain information that would be included in annual financial statements but is not required for semi-annual reporting purposes under US GAAP has been omitted or condensed.
The presentation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to use estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain reclassifications and format changes have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting for Certain Loans and Debt Securities Acquired in a TransferIn December 2003, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 03-3, Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer, (SOP 03-3) which supersedes AICPA Practice Bulletin 6, Amortization of Discounts on Certain Acquired Loans and addresses accounting for differences between contractual cash flows and cash flows expected to be collected from an investors initial investment in loans or debt securities acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable, at least, in part, to credit quality. SOP 03-3 requires acquired impaired loans for which it is probable that the investor will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable to be recorded at the present value of amounts expected to be received and prohibits carrying over or creation of valuation allowances in the initial accounting for these loans. SOP 03-3 also limits accretable yield to the excess of the investors estimate of undiscounted cash flows over the investors initial investment in the loan and prohibits the recognition of the non-accretable difference. Subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be collected generally should be recognized prospectively through adjustment of the loans yield over its remaining life while any decreases in such cash flows should be recognized as impairments. SOP 03-3 also provides guidance with regard to presentation and disclosures. SOP 03-3 is effective for loans and debt securities acquired in fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2004. The initial adoption of SOP 03-3 did not have a material impact on the UFJ Groups financial position and results of operations.
Exchanges of Nonmonetary AssetsIn December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. The guidance in Accounting Principles Board (APB) No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in APB No. 29, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS No. 153 amends APB No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has
F-7
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005, with earlier adoption permitted.
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Correctionsa replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. SFAS No. 154 replaces APB No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, with earlier adoption permitted. Accordingly, the UFJ Group can not reasonably estimate the ultimate impact of SFAS No. 154.

6. REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
UFJ Holdings, UFJ Bank and UFJ Trust and various other bank subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory capital requirements promulgated by the regulatory authorities of the countries in which they operate. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements will initiate certain mandatory actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on UFJ Holdings consolidated financial statements.
The table below presents UFJ Holdings consolidated risk-based capital, risk-adjusted assets and risk-based capital ratios at March 31, 2005 and September 30, 2005.

7. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic earnings per common share (EPS) excludes the dilutive effects of potential common stock and is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period, while diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common stock that was outstanding for the period.
The weighted average number of shares used in the computations of basic EPS and diluted EPS were 5,090 thousand shares and 7,225 thousand shares, respectively, for the six months ended September 30, 2004, and 5,146 thousand shares and 7,200 thousand shares, respectively, for the six months ended September 30, 2005.
For the six months ended September 30, 2004, Class I to VII Preferred stock were included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share. For the six months ended September 30, 2005, Class I, II, IV, V and VII Preferred stock were included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share.
The per share impact of the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle for basic earnings per common share for the six months ended September 30, 2004 was ¥578. The per share impact of the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle for diluted earnings per common share for the six months ended September 30, 2004 was ¥407.

The UFJ Group is involved in various litigation matters. Management, based upon its current knowledge and results of consultation with counsel, makes an appropriate level of litigation reserve. Management believes that the amount of the UFJ Groups liabilities when ultimately determined will not have a material adverse effect on the UFJ Groups results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
11. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
A variable interest entity (VIE) is defined as an entity with one or more of the following characteristics; (1) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, (2) the equity investors lack significant decision making ability or do not absorb the expected losses or receive the expected residual returns or (3) the
F-14
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
equity interests have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests, and the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest. Variable interests in a VIE are contractual, ownership, or other pecuniary interests in an entity that change with changes in the fair value of the entitys net assets exclusive of variable interests. An enterprise is required to consolidate a VIE if that enterprise has a variable interest that will absorb a majority of the entitys expected losses, receive a majority of the entitys expected returns, or both. An enterprise that consolidates a VIE is referred to as the primary beneficiary.
In the normal course of its business, the UFJ Group is a party to various entities which may be deemed to be VIEs such as asset-backed commercial paper conduits, securitization conduits and financing vehicles of client properties, various investment funds, its borrowers and others.
The UFJ Group adopted FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN No. 46R) at April 1, 2004, except for certain investment companies, for which the effective date of FIN No. 46R is deferred. As a result, the UFJ Group has consolidated all VIEs in which it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary including those created before February 1, 2003. The adoption of FIN No. 46R resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment raising net income by ¥2,942 million in the six months ended on September 30, 2004.
The following table presents, by type of VIE, the total assets of consolidated and non-consolidated VIEs and the maximum exposure to non-consolidated VIEs at September 30, 2005:

UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
A portion of the assets presented in the table above were derived from transactions between consolidated VIEs and the UFJ Group, the primary beneficiary, and were eliminated as intercompany transactions. The eliminated amounts were ¥140,225 million of cash, ¥243 million of trading account assets, ¥178,970 million of loans, and ¥8,343 million of other assets.
In general, the creditors or beneficial interest holders of consolidated VIEs have recourse only to the assets of those VIEs and do not have recourse to other assets of the UFJ Group, except where the UFJ Group provides credit support as in the case of certain securitization conduits.
Securitization Conduits of the UFJ Groups Financial Assets
The UFJ Group administers several finance entities (primarily commercial paper conduits) that purchase financial assets, primarily performing loans, from the UFJ Group entities. The UFJ Group participates in a majority of these entities expected losses through either subordinated interests the UFJ Group retains or guarantee on commercial papers issued by the entities.
The amount of total assets of the finance entities that the UFJ group consolidated as of March 31, 2005 was ¥381,437 million.
Securitization Conduits and Financing Vehicles of Client Properties
The UFJ Group administers conduits that purchase financial and other assets from the UFJ Groups customers. These assets include loans, trade receivables and beneficiary interests in real estate trusts. Also, the UFJ Group extends credits to certain entities that provide financing to the UFJ Groups customers. These entities are typically funded by borrowings from the UFJ Group or third parties, investments under partnership agreements from customers, or both. While customers generally continue to service the assets transferred, the UFJ Group underwrites, distributes, makes a market in commercial paper issued by the conduits, and also provides liquidity and credit support facilities to the entities. In certain transactions in which the UFJ Group underwrites the instruments issued by the conduits, it provides interim funds until it finds third-party investors. In this type of arrangement, the owner of real estate properties receives financing from the entity that is secured by the property. The UFJ Group consolidates entities in which it participates in a majority of risks and rewards through the investment and financing including the interim funds.
In addition, the UFJ Group extends non-recourse asset-backed loans to special purpose entities, which finances development projects including real estate development and natural resource development managed by third parties, who are typically the equity owner of the special purpose entities. The UFJ Group generally acts as a member of a lending group, and is not exposed to a majority of the expected losses of these entities.
The amount of total assets of the conduits that the UFJ group consolidated as of March 31, 2005 was ¥1,350,749 million.
Investment Funds and Vehicles
The UFJ Group holds investments in various investment funds that collectively invest in equity and debt securities including listed Japanese securities and investment grade bonds, and, to a limited extent, securities and other interests issued by companies in a start-up or restructuring stage. Some of the funds are managed by investment advisory companies or fund management companies that make investment decisions and administer the funds. Since the equity holders do not have the substantive decision-making power and they do not have
F-16
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
kick-out rights on the investment manager, these investment funds are deemed as VIEs. The entities that the UFJ Group is deemed as the primary beneficiary include those that invest in Japanese government bonds and other investment securities using loans from the UFJ Group, or credit-linked loans from the UFJ Group that are referenced to credit risks of certain borrowers.
The amount of total assets of the investment vehicles that the UFJ group consolidated as of March 31, 2005 was ¥53,488 million.
Financing Vehicles
At September 30, 2005, the UFJ Group had 11 wholly-owned financing vehicles that were formed to issue preferred securities to third-party investors.
At March 31, 2004, these financing vehicles were consolidated as UFJ Holdings subsidiaries under the existing standards that were effective before the adoption of FIN 46R. Common stock of and loans to the financing vehicles were eliminated in the consolidated balance sheet, and the preferred securities issued by the financing vehicles have been classified as minority interests. Upon adopting FIN No. 46R, UFJ Holdings deconsolidated the financing vehicles, and ¥1,231,195 million of subordinated debt the UFJ Group issued to the financing vehicles are reflected as long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2005.
Trust Arrangements
The UFJ Group offers a variety of asset management and administration services under trust arrangements including securities investment trusts, pension trusts and trusts used as securitization vehicles. Although in limited cases the UFJ Group may assume risks through guarantees or certain protections as provided in the agreements or relevant legislations, the UFJ Group has determined that it will not absorb a majority of expected losses in connection with such trust arrangements. In a typical trust arrangement, however, the UFJ Group manages and administers assets on behalf of the customers in an agency, fiduciary and trust capacity and does not assume risks associated with the entrusted assets. Customers receive and absorb expected returns and losses on the performance and operations of trust assets under management of the UFJ Group. Accordingly, the UFJ Group determined that it is generally not a primary beneficiary to any trust arrangements under management as its interests in the trust arrangements are insignificant in most cases.
Other VIEs
The UFJ Group is also a party to other types of VIEs including its borrowers, special purpose entities created to hold assets on behalf of the UFJ Group as an intermediary and others.
Upon adoption of FIN No. 46R, the UFJ Group concluded that certain of its borrowers are VIEs due to their insufficient equity at risk, requiring additional subordinated financial support to sustain their businesses. The UFJ Group acts as one of the lenders providing loans to these entities, while holding equity investments through preferred shares as a result of debt-for-equity swaps as well as common shares that are not significant in terms of the aggregate capitalization of those entities.
The UFJ Group consolidated these borrowers to which it was deemed to be the primary beneficiary for the first time beginning April 1, 2004, which included Nippon Shinpan Co., Ltd. The UFJ Group had continued to consolidate those entities to September 30, 2005, except for one entity that was dissolved during the half-year ended September 30, 2005.

UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
In March 2004, UFJ Bank purchased ¥200 billion (200 million shares) of convertible preferred stock issued by Nippon Shinpan, a large Japanese consumer credit company. UFJ Bank owned 7.7% of Nippon Shinpans common shares as of September 30, 2005. On October 1, 2005, UFJ Bank converted to common shares 150 million shares of the 200 million shares of convertible preferred stock. In addition, on the same date, Nippon Shinpan merged with UFJ Card Co., Ltd. to form UFJ NICOS Co., Ltd. (UFJ NICOS). UFJ Bank received additional shares in UFJ NICOS due to this transaction. As a result, UFJ Bank became a 69.0% common shareholder in UFJ NICOS.
On a consolidated basis, Nippon Shinpan had total assets of ¥1,950,507 million as of September 30, 2005 and net loss of ¥3,597 million for the six months ended September 30, 2005 under U.S. GAAP. The results of Nippon Shinpan are reflected predominantly in interest income on loans, Fees and commission income and non-interest expenses. For periods prior to April 1, 2004, Nippon Shinpan was an equity-method affiliate of UFJ Holdings.
In respect to other borrowers that are determined to be VIEs, the UFJ Group is not considered as the primary beneficiary of any of these entities because it is not exposed to a majority of the expected losses as of the date FIN No. 46R requires the assessment. These entities include companies engaged in consumer financing, construction, retail and real estate businesses.
In addition to the entities discussed above, the UFJ group extends credits, along with other financial institutions, to numerous financing entities that provide project finance or financing on acquisitions of aircraft or large commercial vessels. The source of repayment by the entities is primarily the lease payments from the lessee. In this type of arrangement, the lessee generally assumes the risks and rewards of the entity, and the UFJ group extends loans based on the credit quality of the lessee, as the UFJ group does not participate in the economics of the assets being financed by the entity.
12. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The business segment information of UFJ Holdings and its subsidiaries, set forth below, is derived from the internal management reporting system used by management to measure performance of the business segments. Unlike financial accounting, there is no authoritative body of guidance for management accounting. The business segment information is based on financial information prepared in accordance with Japanese GAAP along with internal management accounting rules and practices. Accordingly, the format and information is presented primarily on the basis of Japanese GAAP and is not consistent with the condensed consolidated financial statements prepared on the basis of US GAAP. A reconciliation is provided to the segments operating profits with income (loss) before income tax expense and cumulative effect of change in accounting principle under US GAAP.
Management does not use information on segments total assets to allocate resources and assess performance and has not prepared information on segment assets. Accordingly, business segment information on total assets is not available. Management measures the performance of each of UFJ Holdings business segments primarily by operating profit which is a defined term in the regulatory reporting to the FSA.
UFJ Holdings is organized into the following business segments:
| The Retail Banking business unit of UFJ Bank provides banking products and services to individual customers in Japan. |
| The Corporate Banking business unit of UFJ Bank provides banking products and services to large corporations and small and medium-sized companies. |

UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business
UFJ Holdings, Inc. (UFJ Holdings) and its subsidiaries (together, the UFJ Group) conduct domestic and international financial business primarily through UFJ Bank Limited (UFJ Bank) and UFJ Trust Bank Limited (UFJ Trust), via domestic and international networks of branches, offices and subsidiaries. UFJ Bank is a major commercial banking institution, providing a broad range of financial services to consumers and corporations through commercial banking, global banking and trading, and other activities. UFJ Trust is a trust and banking subsidiary whose primary business encompasses retail and corporate banking, trust services, stock transfer agency services, asset management services and custody operations in Japan.
Basis of Financial Statements
On April 2, 2001, UFJ Holdings was established, as a bank holding company, to acquire all of the outstanding shares of The Sanwa Bank, Limited (Sanwa Bank), The Tokai Bank, Limited (Tokai Bank) and The Toyo Trust and Banking Company, Limited (Toyo Trust) each of which became wholly-owned subsidiaries pursuant to stock-for-stock exchanges. The business combination was accounted for as a purchase by Sanwa Bank of Tokai Bank and Toyo Trust.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are stated in Japanese Yen, the currency of the country in which UFJ Holdings is incorporated and principally operates. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP).
Annual fiscal periods of certain subsidiaries, which end on or after December 31, and UFJ Holdings fiscal year, which ends on March 31, have been treated as coterminous. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and 2005, the effect of recording intervening events for the periods ended March 31 on UFJ Holdings proportionate equity in net income of subsidiaries with fiscal periods ending prior to March 31, would have resulted in increases of ¥5.97 billion and ¥9.38 billion, respectively, to net income. No intervening events occurred during each of the periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2005 for these subsidiaries which, if recorded, would have had an effect of more than 1% of total assets, loans, total liabilities, deposits or stockholders equity as of March 31, 2004 and 2005.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term primarily relate to the allowance for credit losses on loans and off-balance sheet credit instruments, deferred tax assets and related allowances, derivative financial instruments, goodwill, investment securities and accrued severance indemnities and pension liabilities. It is reasonably possible that the estimate of recoverability of the loans to some of the UFJ Groups large impaired borrowers could change due to changes in financial and operating conditions of these borrowers. The effect of any such change could have a material impact on the future financial performance of the UFJ Group.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Significant accounting policies applied in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are summarized below:
ConsolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the accounts of UFJ Holdings and its subsidiaries. UFJ Holdings consolidates subsidiaries in which it holds, directly or indirectly, a majority of the voting shares or where it can exert control over a subsidiarys operational and financial policies through other means. In certain situations, a voting interest is not indicative of who owns a controlling financial interest in an entity. In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 and issued a revised version of FIN 46 in December 2003 (FIN 46R). FIN 46 and FIN 46R require that a variable interest entity be consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the investor that, through its variable interests in the entity, participates in a majority of the entitys expected loss, residual return or both. Variable interests are contractual, ownership, or other pecuniary interests in an entity that change with changes in the fair value of the entitys net assets exclusive of variable interests. Variable interests include, but are not limited to, equity interests, beneficial interests, loans, guarantees, commitment facilities and derivative contracts. A variable interest entity is an entity whose equity at risk is not sufficient to fund its activities without additional subordinated financial support or the equity holders do not have essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest.
All significant intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated on consolidation.
Investments in affiliated companies in which UFJ Group has the ability to exert significant influence, generally through an ownership interest of 20% to 50% of the voting shares, are accounted for using the equity method.
Assets that the UFJ Group holds in an agency, fiduciary or trust capacity are not assets of the UFJ Group and, accordingly, are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Cash FlowsFor the purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as Cash and due from banks.
Translation of Foreign Currency Financial Statements and Foreign Currency TransactionsFinancial statements of overseas entities are translated into Japanese Yen using the respective year-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange for the respective periods. Capital accounts are translated at historical exchange rate.
Except for overseas entities located in highly inflationary economies, foreign currency translation gains and losses related to the financial statements of overseas entities of the UFJ Group are credited or charged directly to Foreign currency translation adjustments, a component of Accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources.
Foreign currency transactions that are not denominated in the functional currency of the entity in which they arise are recorded at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction. Any resulting foreign currency assets and liabilities are revalued at the spot exchange rates at the year end. Revaluation gains and losses arising from these assets and liabilities are recorded in the statements of income in Foreign exchange gainsnet as appropriate.
Repurchase Agreements, Securities Lending and Other Secured Financing TransactionsSecurities sold with agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements), securities purchased with agreements to resell (reverse repurchase agreements) and securities lending and borrowing transactions are accounted for as sales of
F-31
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
securities with related forward repurchase commitments or purchases of securities with related forward reverse repurchase commitments, if they meet the relevant conditions for the surrender of control as provided by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125. If the conditions are not met, the transactions are treated as secured financing or lending, and are carried at the amount the securities will be resold or repurchased, including accrued interest. Interest earned on reverse repurchase agreements and interest incurred on repurchase agreements are reported as interest income and expense, respectively.
CollateralFor secured lending transactions, including reverse repurchase agreements, securities borrowing transactions, commercial lending and derivative transactions, the UFJ Group, as a secured party, generally has the right to require counterparties to provide collateral, including letters of credit, cash, securities and other financial assets. For most securities lending transactions, the UFJ Group maintains levels of collateralization governed by daily mark-to-market analysis, and additional collateral may be obtained when considered appropriate to protect the UFJ Group against credit exposure. Financial assets pledged as collateral are generally negotiable financial instruments and are permitted to be sold or repledged by secured parties. If the UFJ Group sells financial assets received as collateral, it recognizes the proceeds from the sale and its obligation to return the collateral. For secured borrowing transactions, principally repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions and derivative transactions, in which the secured party has the right to sell or repledge financial assets pledged as collateral, the UFJ Group discloses financial assets pledged as collateral in the consolidated balance sheets.
Trading Securities and Securities Sold, Not Yet PurchasedSecurities and money market instruments held in anticipation of short-term market movements are included in Trading securities. Short trading positions in these instruments are included in Trading securities sold, not yet purchased. Trading positions are carried at fair value based on quoted market price, when available, on the consolidated balance sheets and recorded on a trade date basis. When quoted market prices are not available, other pricing methods such as pricing models, quoted prices of instruments with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows are used. Changes in the fair value of trading positions, excluding interest, are recognized currently in Trading account gains (losses)net.
Investment SecuritiesDebt securities that the UFJ Group does not have the intent and ability to hold to maturity and marketable equity securities, other than those classified as trading securities, are classified as Securities available for sale, and are carried at their fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported on a net-of-tax basis within Accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources, which is a component of stockholders equity. Purchases and sales of investment securities are recorded on a trade date basis. Nonmarketable equity securities are stated at cost less other-than-temporary impairments in Other investment securities on the consolidated balance sheets.
Unrealized losses on individual debt and equity securities are charged to the consolidated statements of income when, in the opinion of management, a decline in estimated fair value below the cost of such securities is other-than-temporary. Such impairment losses are included in Investment securities gainsnet in the consolidated statements of income. In determining whether a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary, the UFJ Group generally considers factors such as the financial condition of the issuer, the extent of decline in fair value, and the length of period that the decline in fair value below cost has existed. See Note 3 for a further discussion of other-than-temporary impairments. Other-than-temporary declines are reflected as realized losses and are not subsequently reversed.
Premiums and discounts on purchased securities are recognized in interest income and expense as an adjustment to yield. Interest and dividends on investment securities are reported in Interest income. Dividends
F-32
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
are recognized when the stockholders right to receive the dividend is established. Gains and losses on disposition of investment securities are computed using the average cost method and are recognized on the trade date.
Derivative Financial InstrumentsThe UFJ Group engages in derivative activities involving swaps, forwards and options, and other types of derivative contracts. Derivatives are used in trading activities to generate trading revenues and fee income for its own account and to respond to the customers financial needs.
Derivatives entered into for trading purposes are carried at fair value and are reported in the consolidated balance sheets as Trading account assets or Trading account liabilities. Estimates of fair value are based on market or broker-dealer quotes when available. Valuation models such as discounted cash flow and pricing models are applied to current market information to estimate fair value when such quotes are not available. The UFJ Group defers trade date gains or losses on derivatives when the fair value of those derivatives is not obtained from a quoted market price, supported by comparison to other observable market transactions, or based upon a valuation technique incorporating observable market data. The trade date gains or losses deferred are subsequently recognized using a systematic method over the term of the contract or immediately to income as the inputs in the valuation model become observable. The fair value of derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty under legally enforceable master netting agreements is presented on a net basis. Changes in the fair value of trading account derivative contracts, including interest, are recognized currently in Foreign exchange gainsnet with respect to foreign exchange contracts and in Trading account gains (losses)net with respect to interest rate contracts and other types of contracts.
Derivative features embedded in non-derivative host contracts that are not clearly and closely related to the host contracts and that meet the definition of derivatives are separated from the host contracts and measured at fair value unless the contracts containing the derivative features are measured at fair value in their entirety through the consolidated statements of income. Changes in the fair value of these embedded derivatives are recognized in Trading account gains (losses)net.
Derivatives are also used for asset and liability management to manage exposures to fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates arising from mismatches of asset and liability positions, however the UFJ Group has not adopted hedge accounting for these derivatives. Accordingly, all derivatives used for risk management purposes are marked to market and changes in fair value are reflected in Trading account gains (losses)net in the consolidated statements of income.
LoansLoans are carried at the principal amount outstanding, adjusted for unearned income and deferred net nonrefundable loan fees and costs. Loans held and intended for dispositions or sales are transferred to the held-for-sale classification and carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value generally on an individual loan basis. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized over the contractual life of the loan as an adjustment to yield. Interest income on loans that are not on non-accrual status is accrued and credited to Interest income as it is earned. Unearned income and discounts or premiums on purchased loans are deferred and recognized over the life of the loan as an adjustment to yield.
Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in the opinion of management, substantial doubt exists as to the full and timely collection of either principal or interest, or generally when principal or interest is contractually past due one month or more. In addition, the amortization of net deferred loan fees is suspended when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, interest already accrued but not received is reversed against interest income. Cash receipts on non-accrual loans, for which the ultimate collectibility of principal is doubtful, are applied as principal reductions; otherwise, such collections are credited to income.
F-33
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
A non-accrual loan, other than under troubled debt restructuring, is restored to accrual status when interest and principal payments are current and management expects that the borrower will make future contractual payments as scheduled. All loans under troubled debt restructuring are brought to accrual status when the loan is performing for an adequate period of time under the restructuring agreement.
Any amounts deemed uncollectible are charged off. Consumer loans are generally charged off, to net realizable value if collateralized, when they become more than 180 days past due or earlier if deemed uncollectible.
Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is based upon managements continuing review and evaluation of the loan portfolio and represents managements estimate of probable losses in UFJ Groups loan portfolio. The level of allowance is based on an evaluation of the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio and considers factors such as past loss experience and the financial condition of the borrower. The allowance for loan losses is charged against income as Provision for loan losses. The aggregate allowance for loan losses is increased by the net amounts charged to the provisions for loan losses, net of charge-offs and recoveries as a result of cash collections from charged-off accounts.
A key element relating to the policies and discipline used in determining the allowance for loan losses is the credit rating and the related borrower categorization process. The categorization is based on conditions that may affect the ability of borrowers to service their debt, taking into consideration current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, analyses of relevant industry segments and current trends. In determining the appropriate level of the allowance, the UFJ Group evaluates the probable loss by category of a loan based on its type and characteristics.
UFJ Groups allowance for loan losses consists of (a) specific allowances for specifically identified impaired borrowers, and (b) general allowances for homogeneous pools of commercial and consumer loans, and other loans which are not specifically identified as impaired.
Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that UFJ Group will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrowers prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Generally, UFJ Groups impaired loans include non-accrual loans, restructured loans and other loans specifically identified as impaired.
The allowance for loan losses for specifically identified borrowers represents the impairment allowance determined in accordance with SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. The UFJ Group measures the impairment of a loan, with the exception of homogenous pools of smaller balance commercial and consumer loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment, based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate, or on the loans observable market price, or based on the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, when it is probable that the UFJ Group will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.
The allowance for homogeneous pools of smaller balance commercial and consumer loans, and other loans that are not specifically identified as impaired, is established through a process that begins with estimates of probable losses inherent in the portfolio. These estimates are based upon various analysis including UFJ Groups
F-34
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
historical delinquency and loan loss experience, adjusted for qualitative factors, such as the current economic conditions in which UFJ Group operates as well as current lending policies and procedures.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Acceptance and Off-Balance Sheet Credit InstrumentsThe UFJ Group maintains an allowance for credit losses on acceptance and off-balance sheet credit instruments, including commitments to extend credit, a variety of guarantees and standby letters of credit. The allowance is included in Other liabilities. The considerations that UFJ Group uses in its estimate of provisions against off-balance sheet credit risk are similar to those used for on-balance sheet risk. Net changes in the allowance for credit acceptance and off-balance sheet credit instruments are accounted for as Provisions for acceptances and off-balance sheet credit instruments.
Premises and EquipmentPremises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Depreciation is charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the terms of the respective leases or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever are shorter. Depreciation of premises and equipment is computed using the straight-line method for buildings and leasehold improvements, and the declining balance method for equipment and furniture, at rates based on the following estimated useful lives:
Years | ||
Buildings |
15 to 50 | |
Equipment and furniture |
2 to 20 | |
Leasehold improvements |
3 to 39 |
Maintenance, repairs and minor improvements are charged to operations as incurred. Major improvements are capitalized. Net gains or losses on disposition of premises and equipment are included in Other non-interest income or expense, as appropriate.
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. For purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment loss, a long-lived asset or assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level with independent and identifiable cash flows. Assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less estimated cost to sell.
Asset retirement obligations are recorded in Other liabilities with a corresponding increase in leasehold improvements. The amounts represent the present value of expected future cash flows associated with returning certain leased properties to original condition. The difference between the gross and present value of expected future cash flows is accreted over the life of the related leases as an interest expense.
Other Real Estate OwnedReal estate assets acquired in full or partial satisfaction of debt are recorded and carried at fair value less cost to sell. Other real estate owned assets held for sale are carried at cost less depreciation after one year. An impairment assessment is made where there is an indication that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
GoodwillThe UFJ Group reports the excess of the cost of investments in subsidiaries over its share of the fair value of net assets at the date of acquisition as Goodwill. Goodwill resulting from the consolidation of a variable interest entity is reported as the excess of the sum of a) the fair value of consideration paid, b) the
F-35
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
amount of previously held interests and c) the fair value of the newly consolidated liabilities and noncontrolling interests over 1) the fair value of the newly consolidated identified assets and 2) reported amount of identifiable assets transferred by the primary beneficiary to the variable interest entity. Goodwill related to investments in equity method investees is included in Other assets.
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is not amortized but is subject to an annual impairment test. Goodwill is recorded at a designated reporting unit level for the purpose of assessing impairment. A reporting unit is an operating segment, or an identified business unit one level below an operating segment. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.
Intangible assetsIntangible assets, including core deposit intangibles, customer relationships, software and other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives unless they have indefinite useful lives. Amortization for intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method at rates principally based on the following estimated useful lives:
Years | ||
Core deposits |
10 | |
Customer relationships |
7 to 23 | |
Information technology and software |
5 to 8 | |
Other |
10 |
Intangible assets having indefinite useful lives, primarily certain trade names and co-brand credit card rights, are not amortized but are subject to annual impairment tests. An impairment exists if the carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value. For other intangible assets subject to amortization, an impairment is recognized if the carrying amount is not recoverable and the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the intangible asset.
The UFJ Group capitalizes certain costs associated with the acquisition or development of internal-use software. Costs subject to capitalization are salaries and employee benefits for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to the internal-use computer software project, to the extent of time spent directly on the project. Once the software is ready for its intended use, the UFJ Group begins to amortize capitalized costs on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of five years.
Accrued Severance and Pension LiabilitiesThe UFJ Group offers severance indemnity plans as well as certain annuity benefits to its employees. The liabilities related to the defined benefit plans are computed and recognized using an actuarial appraisal approach known as the projected unit credit method. Unrecognized net gains and losses that arise from differences between actual experiences and assumptions are amortized over the average remaining service period of participating employees if it exceeds the corridor, which is defined as the greater of 10% of plan assets or projected benefit obligation. An excess of the accumulated benefit obligation over the liability recognized in the consolidated balance sheets is accrued as the minimum liability, and a corresponding intangible asset is recognized up to the amount equal to the prior service cost. To the extent that the minimum liability exceeds the intangible asset, it is recognized as a reduction of stockholders equity. The cost of the plans is charged to Salaries and employee benefits. The UFJ Group uses a March 31 measurement date.
Transfer to the Japanese Government of the Substitutional Portion of Employee Pension Fund LiabilitiesIn January 2003, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 03-2, Accounting for the Transfer to the Japanese Government of the Substitutional Portion of Employee Pension Fund Liabilities, (EITF 03-2). EITF 03-2 addresses the issue of how an employer should account for the separation of the substitutional portion of the
F-36
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
benefit obligation of an Employees Pension Fund from the corporation portion, and the transfer of the obligation and related plan assets to the Japanese government. Pursuant to the consensus reached under EITF 03-2, the entire separation process is required to be accounted for upon completion of the transfer to the government of the substitutional portion as the culmination of a series of steps in a single settlement transaction. The difference between the obligation settled and the assets transferred to the government is accounted for as a subsidy from the government separately from the gain or loss recognized on the settlement. See Note 14 for additional discussion on the transfer of the substitutional portion.
Long-Term DebtPremiums, discounts and issuance costs of long-term debt are amortized based on the interest method over the term of the long-term debt.
Obligations under GuaranteesThe UFJ Group provides customers with a variety of guarantees and similar arrangements, including standby letters of credit, financial and performance guarantees, credit protection and liquidity facilities. At the inception of the contract, UFJ Group records fees received or receivable as a liability, which approximates the market value of the contract, which is then recognized within Fees and commissions ratably over the guarantee period.
Fees and CommissionsRevenue recognition of major components of fees and commissions is as follows:
| Fees on funds transfer and collection services and fees from investment banking services are recognized as revenue when the related services are performed. |
| Fees from trade-related financing services are recognized over the period of the financing. |
| Trust fees are recognized on an accrual basis, based on the volume of trust assets under management and/or the operating performance for the accounting period of each trust account. With respect to trust accounts with guarantee of trust principal, trust fees are determined based on the profits earned by individual trust accounts during the trust accounting period, less deductions, including provision for reserve, impairment for individual investments and dividends paid to beneficiary certificate holders. |
| Annual fees and royalty and other service charges related to the credit card business are recorded on a straight-line basis as services are provided. |
| Interchange income from the credit card business is recognized as services are provided. |
| Service charges on deposit accounts and fees and commissions from other services are generally recognized over the period that the service is provided. |
| Fees on guarantees are recognized over the contractual periods of the respective guarantees. |
Income TaxesThe provision for income taxes is comprised of the provision for income taxes currently payable and the provision for deferred income taxes, determined using the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (1) temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and (2) operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is recognized for any portion of the deferred tax assets when it is considered more likely than not that it will not be realized. The provision for deferred taxes is based on the change in the net deferred tax asset or liability from period to period.
Earnings per Common ShareBasic earnings per share (EPS) excludes dilutive effects of potential common stock and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, while diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential

common stocks that were outstanding during the period. Income available to common stockholders excludes amounts paid as dividends on preferred stock and accretion of discounts arising from beneficial conversion features of preferred stock. See Note 19 for the computation of basic and diluted EPS and Note 16 for information on preferred stock dividends and beneficial conversion features.
Treasury StockUFJ Holdings presents its treasury stock as a reduction of stockholders equity on the consolidated balance sheets at cost and accounts for treasury stock transactions under an average cost method. Any net gains from sales of treasury stocks are classified in capital surplus. Any losses on treasury stock sales in the excess of gains recognized from previous treasury stock sales are charged to accumulated deficit.
Accumulated Other Changes in Equity from Nonowner SourcesThe UFJ Groups Accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources comprises unrealized gains and losses on investment securities available for sale, minimum pension liability and foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented, net of related income tax effects, in the consolidated statements of changes in equity from nonowner sources.
ReclassificationThe presentation of certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
Accounting Changes
Accounting pronouncements adopted within the periods presented include:
Variable Interest EntitiesIn January 2003 the FASB issued FIN 46, as described above under consolidation, and in December 2003, the FASB issued a revised version, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46R). Before the interim reporting period beginning April 1, 2004, the UFJ Group adopted FIN 46 with respect to the entities created after January 31, 2003, and has consolidated any such entities for which it is the primary beneficiary. The UFJ Group adopted FIN 46R with respect to the entities created before February 1, 2003 on April 1, 2004. See Note 22 for information regarding variable interest entities in which UFJ Group has an interest.
Accounting for Asset Retirement ObligationsEffective April 1, 2003, the UFJ Group adopted SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 addresses the financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 applies to the legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or the normal operation of a long-lived asset. A legal obligation is an obligation that a party is required to settle as a result of an existing or enacted law, statute, ordinance, written or oral contract, or by legal construction of a contract under the doctrine of promissory estoppel.
All of UFJ Groups existing asset retirement obligations are associated with commitments to return property subject to operating leases to its original condition upon lease termination. At April 1, 2003, the UFJ Group recorded a ¥19,768 million long-term asset retirement liability, which is included in Other liabilities, and a corresponding increase in leasehold improvements. This amount represents the present value of expected future cash flows associated with returning UFJ Groups leased properties to their original condition. The difference between the gross and present value of expected future cash flows is accreted over the life of the related leases as interest expense. Adoption of SFAS No. 143 resulted in a cumulative effect charge to net income at April 1, 2003 of ¥2,959 million. This adjustment represents the cumulative depreciation and accretion that would have been recognized through the date of adoption of SFAS No. 143 had the statement applied to UFJ Groups existing asset retirement obligations at the time they were initially incurred.
F-38
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
FIN 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, clarifies the term conditional asset retirement obligation as used in SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. Conditional asset retirement obligation refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may not be within the control of the entity. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional thus a liability for the fair value of the conditional asset retirement obligation should be recognized if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The uncertainty about the timing and method of settlement should be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. UFJ Group adopted FIN 47 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. Adoption of FIN 47 did not have a material impact on the consolidated balance sheet or consolidated statements of income.
Disclosure about Pension and Other Postretirement BenefitsIn December 2003, the FASB revised SFAS No. 132 and issued SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003), Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88 and 106 (SFAS No. 132R). SFAS No. 132R revises employers disclosures about pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. The provisions of SFAS No. 132R require disclosures of estimated future benefit payments effective for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2004. The UFJ Group adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 132R and has included the required disclosures in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2005.
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment of Investment SecuritiesIn November 2003, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, EITF, reached a consensus on Issue No. 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments (EITF 03-1). EITF 03-1 requires certain additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures in addition to the disclosure already required by SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. The new disclosure has been included in these consolidated financial statements to the extent applicable. On September 30, 2004, the FASB voted unanimously to delay the effective date of EITF 03-1 measurement provisions. The FASB will be issuing implementation guidance related to the measurement provisions of EITF 03-1. Once issued, UFJ Group will evaluate the impact of adopting the measurement provisions of EITF 03-1.
Derivative Financial InstrumentsIn April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. In particular, SFAS No. 149 (1) clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristics of a derivative, (2) clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component that warrants special reporting in the statement of cash flows, (3) amends the definition of underlyings, one of three characteristics of derivatives, to include the occurrence or non-occurrence of a specified event such as scheduled payments under a contract and (4) amends certain other existing pronouncements, in particular, those related to the scope of instruments that are subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have a material impact on the UFJ Groups financial position or results of operations.
Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and EquityIn May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. On November 7, 2003, FASB Staff Position No. 150-3, Effective Date, Disclosures, and Transition for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests under FASB Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity, delayed the effective date of certain provisions of SFAS No. 150 for certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests.
F-39
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective for UFJ Groups reporting period beginning April 1, 2004. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not impact UFJ Groups classification of liabilities and equities.
Future Application of Accounting Pronouncements
Loans and Debt Securities Acquired in a TransferIn December 2003, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 03-3, Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer (SOP 03-3), which supersedes AICPA Practice Bulletin 6, Amortization of Discounts on Certain Acquired Loans and addresses accounting for differences between contractual cash flows and cash flows expected to be collected from an investors initial investment in loans or debt securities acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable, at least, in part, to credit quality. SOP 03-3 limits accretable yield to the excess of the investors estimate of undiscounted cash flows over the investors initial investment in the loan and prohibits the recognition of the non-accretable difference. Under SOP 03-3, subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be collected generally should be recognized prospectively through adjustment of the loans yield over its remaining life while any decreases in such cash flows should be recognized as impairments. SOP 03-3 also provides guidance with regard to presentation and disclosures.
SOP 03-3 is effective for loans and debt securities acquired by the UFJ Group in its fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 and thereafter. The UFJ Group has not completed an assessment of the impact of SOP 03-3 on its financial position or results of operations.
Exchanges of Nonmonetary AssetsIn December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assetsan amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, The guidance in Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS No. 153 amends APB Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange.
SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005, with earlier adoption permitted. The UFJ Group has not completed the study of what effect SFAS No. 153 will have on its financial position and results of operations. The UFJ Group expects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 153 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
The UFJ Group has determined that unrealized losses on available for sale securities at March 31, 2005 are temporary, based on its ability and intent to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for anticipated recovery in fair value, and the results of its review conducted to identify and evaluate investments that have indications of possible impairments. The UFJ Groups review included consideration of the following criteria:
| The length of time that fair value of the investment has been below costThe UFJ Group generally deems a continuous decline of fair value below cost for six months or more to be other-than-temporary. |
Gross unrealized losses of less than 12 months generally arise from rising interest rates, widening credit spreads and credit quality of the underlying collateral. Based on expected cash flow analysis, such unrealized losses have been determined to be temporary.
| The extent to which the fair value of investments has been below cost as of the end of the reporting periodThe UFJ Groups investment portfolio is exposed to volatile prices affected by many factors including investors perspectives as to future economic factors and the issuers performance, as well as cyclical market price fluctuations due to changes in market interest rates, foreign exchange rates and changes in credit spreads. The UFJ Group generally deems a decline of fair value below cost of 20% or more as a critical indicator of an other-than-temporary decline in fair value. |
| The financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuerThe UFJ Group considers the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer primarily based on the credit standing of the issuers as determined by the UFJ Groups credit rating system. |
Any deterioration in economic conditions or specific situations of the issuers of the securities could adversely affect the fair value of securities held by the UFJ Group.
Banks Shareholdings Purchase Corporation
Under a law forbidding banks from holding marketable equity securities in excess of their Tier I capital after September 30, 2006, the Banks Shareholdings Purchase Corporation (BSPC) was established in January 2002 in order to soften the impact on the stock market of sales of cross-shareholdings. BSPC began accepting share offers from financial institutions on February 15, 2002. It has been funded by financial institutions, including UFJ Bank and UFJ Trust, which made initial contributions of ¥2,000 million (preferred contributions) that are classified as available for sale debt securities. BSPC will be disbanded when it sells all shares that it purchased from financial institutions, or by March 31, 2017 at the latest. UFJ Bank and UFJ Trust have sold equity securities to BSPCs Special Account.
Prior to August 2003, 8% of the proceeds from equity securities sold to the Special Account were withheld by the BSPC as subordinated contributions by the selling financial institutions. Subsequent to August 2003, no amounts have been withheld. As a result of the sales of securities during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, the UFJ Group recorded total subordinated contributions of ¥353 million to the Special Account that is classified as available for sale debt securities.
Funding, in addition to the subordinated contributions, is provided from borrowings guaranteed by the Japanese government with a limit of ¥2 trillion. Upon disbanding the BSPC, the cumulative net loss, if any, of the BSPC will be compensated in the following order: subordinated contributions, preferred contributions and government acting as a guarantor. The cumulative net gain, if any, will be repaid in the following order: preferred contributions, subordinated contributions, pro rata basis to the preferred or subordinated contributions up to twice the contributions and Japanese government for more than twice the contributions. However, the cumulative net loss or gain cannot be finalized and none of the contributions will be repaid until upon disbanding the BSPC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
The loans at March 31,2005 include loans relating to Nippon Shinpan, which was consolidated from April 1, 2004. These loans are primarily included within Consumer-Credit card and Consumer-Other.
Non-accrual and Restructured Loans
Non-accrual and restructured loans are ¥5,065.1 billion and ¥2,315.1 billion at March 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively. Had interest on these loans been accrued at the original terms of agreement, gross interest income on such loans for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and 2005 would have been approximately ¥126.8 billion and ¥104.6 billion, respectively, of which approximately ¥77.6 billion and ¥52.8 billion, respectively, is included in interest income on loans in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more are ¥19.8 billion and ¥11.7 billion at March 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively.
Impaired Loans
The UFJ Groups impaired loans (evaluated individually) primarily include non-accrual loans and restructured loans. A summary of the balances of impaired loans and related allowance at March 31, 2004 and 2005 is shown below.

For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and 2005, the UFJ Group recognized interest income of approximately ¥75.5 billion and ¥45.7 billion, respectively, on impaired loans. Cash receipts on non-accrual loans, for which the ultimate collectibility of principal is doubtful, are applied to principal reductions; otherwise, such collections are credited to income. Interest income on accruing impaired loans, including restructured loans, was recognized on an accrual basis to the extent that the collectibility of principal was reasonably certain based on managements assessment.
Lease Receivables
As part of its financing activities, the UFJ Group enters into leasing arrangements with customers. The UFJ Groups leasing operations are performed through leasing subsidiaries and consist principally of direct financing leases involving various types of data processing equipment, office equipment and factory equipment.
At March 31, 2004 and 2005, the components of the investment in direct financing leases are as follows:

Related Party Loans
In some cases, the banking subsidiaries of UFJ Holdings make loans to related parties in the course of their normal commercial banking business. At March 31, 2004 and 2005, outstanding loans to related parties were ¥742,711 million and ¥350,172 million respectively.
These related party loans were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral requirements, as were generally prevailing for unrelated borrowers at the date these loans were made. For the fiscal years ended and at March 31, 2004 and 2005, there are no loans to related parties that have been charged-off or that are impaired.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of customers are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet their contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. The UFJ Group manages its portfolio of financial instruments to achieve a level of diversification amongst industries and geographies. Historically it has been the principal provider of credit to certain large borrowers and the levels of collateral associated with those loans have varied. In addition during recent years it has also made loans to certain companies which have had significant exposures to the Japanese real estate market. The UFJ Group has put into place a series of measures to reduce its exposure to these large borrowers and to increase the level diversification of its portfolio.
Sales of Loans
The UFJ Group originates loans to various types of corporate and individual customers in Japan and overseas in the normal course of its business. In order to improve the quality of its loan portfolio, the UFJ Group has disposed of certain loans. Most of these loans were disposed of by sales to third parties and by entering into loan participation transactions without retaining the credit risk. The loan participation transactions did not meet the relevant conditions for sales accounting established in accordance with SFAS No. 140. Hence, these transactions are accounted for as collateralized borrowing transactions and not considered as loans held-for-sale. The losses on sales of loans were ¥8.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 and the gains were ¥8.4 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
Depreciation expense of premises and equipment for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and 2005 is ¥52,361 million and ¥52,243 million, respectively.
In March 2002, UFJ Bank entrusted its Tokyo Headquarters, comprising land and building, to UFJ Trust under a noncancellable lease agreement for a 15 year period. At the same time, UFJ Bank sold the beneficiary trust right to a special purpose entity, which leased back the land and building to UFJ Bank. UFJ Bank accounted for this transaction as a financing arrangement, and recorded the total proceeds of ¥89,800 million as a financing obligation in addition to continuing to recognize the land and building. Under the lease agreement, UFJ Bank made non-interest-bearing deposits of ¥6,960 million with the buyer-lessor in March 2002. The lease payments are ¥6,960 million per year.
On March 31, 2005, UFJ Bank repaid the financing obligation secured against its Tokyo Headquarters for ¥96,500 million and resulted in a loss on extinguishment of the debt as other non-interest expense of ¥6,700 million. UFJ Bank entered into a sale-leaseback contract of its Tokyo Headquarters with proceeds of ¥145,000 million. At the same time, UFJ Bank recognized a gain of ¥84,755 million in Other non-interest income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 and deferred a gain of ¥49,487 million in Other liabilities (Note 15) as at March 31, 2005. The deferred gain is amortized over eight years, which includes the lease term of five years plus an option to extend for three years, and the lease payments are ¥6,500 million per year for the first five years.
The UFJ Group recognized ¥4,123 million and ¥2,099 million of impairment losses for real estate previously held for use now held for sale, for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively. These losses are included in Other non-interest expenses. In computing the amount of impairment losses, fair value is determined primarily based on market prices, if available, or the estimated fair value based on an appraisal.
The UFJ Group recognized ¥6,849 million of impairment losses for land and buildings held for use for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 as there was not sufficient cash flow as compared to the carrying value of the property. These losses are included in Other non-interest expenses. In computing the amount of impairment losses, fair value is determined primarily on an appraisal.
7. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
As discussed in Note 1, goodwill is primarily the result of Sanwa Banks acquisition of Tokai Bank and Toyo Trust at April 2, 2001. The business combination was accounted for under the purchase method. The aggregate purchase price for Tokai Bank and Toyo Trust was ¥2,931 billion including common and preferred stock. Goodwill and intangible assets of approximately ¥2,731 billion and ¥515 billion, respectively, were recorded. Prior to adoption of SFAS No. 142, goodwill was being amortized over 40 years.

See Note 25 for business segment information of the UFJ Group.
On April 1, 2004, UFJ Group consolidated Nippon Shinpan under FIN 46R. Goodwill of ¥182,213 million was recorded upon consolidation of Nippon Shinpan.
UFJ Group reviews goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, or more often if events or circumstances warrant. Goodwill impairment may exist if the carrying value of the reporting unit to which it is allocated exceeds its estimated fair value.
UFJ Group has identified nine reporting units. Goodwill was allocated to four of these reporting units on a relative fair value basis. Goodwill is allocated to Nippon Shinpan as a separate reporting unit. Reporting units that were non-revenue producing or that were not expected to benefit significantly from the synergies of the business combinations were not allocated goodwill. In addition, insignificant reporting units were not allocated goodwill. The first step of the test of impairment was performed by comparing the fair value of its reporting units to the carrying values of the reporting units to which goodwill was assigned.
If potential impairment of goodwill was indicated under the first step, step two for determining the amount of impairment of goodwill was performed. The second step requires UFJ Group to estimate the implied fair value of goodwill for each reporting unit by subtracting the fair value of the reporting units assets, including any unrecognized intangibles, from the total fair value of the reporting unit. The excess is deemed the implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of the goodwill was then compared to the carrying amount of goodwill for the reporting unit.
The UFJ Group has not identified any goodwill that is impaired during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and 2005.

Income taxes in Japan applicable to the UFJ Group are imposed by the national, prefectural and municipal governments, and in the aggregate, resulted in a normal effective statutory rate of approximately 42.0% and 40.7% for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively. It should be noted that the largest entity within the UFJ Group, UFJ Bank, had a normal effective statutory rate of approximately 39.2% and 40.7% for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively. Foreign subsidiaries are subject to income taxes of the countries in which they operate.
In March 2003, the Japanese government passed an amendment to the local tax law and in October 2003 the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the Osaka Prefectural Government enacted an additional surcharge tax. The effect of these amendments was to adjust the normal effective statutory tax rate for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 to approximately 40.7%. The newly enacted rates were used in calculating the future expected tax effects of temporary differences as of March 31, 2004 that were expected to reverse during and subsequent to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. The change in tax rate, used in calculating the future expected tax effects of temporary differences, resulted in a decrease of ¥23,531 million in consolidated income tax expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. After the valuation allowance, the net change in tax rate used in calculating the future expected tax effects of temporary differences, resulted in a decrease of ¥504 million in consolidated income tax expense for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004.
In October 2003, the UFJ Group received notification of a tax refund of ¥25.7 billion relating to tax assessments previously made by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the Osaka Prefectural Government in relation to the fiscal years ended March 31, 2001 and 2002.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion of or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax asset depends on the ability to generate sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in the future at the individual company level. UFJ Group has provided a valuation allowance for the major part of the deferred tax asset attributable to the UFJ Groups subsidiaries with operating loss carryforwards and existing deductible temporary differences, primarily due to the existence of high levels of accumulated deficits, tax losses and credit costs incurred in the past years for domestic subsidiaries.
The net change in the valuation allowance for the deferred income tax assets was a decrease of ¥37,130 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, which primarily reflected the net of a decrease in such deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards of these subsidiaries and an increase in the valuation allowance related to Nippon Shinpan, which is newly consolidated this year. The reduction in the valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset that existed at the acquisition date of Tokai Bank, Toyo Trust and Nippon Shinpan was applied to reverse goodwill by the amount of ¥86,532 million and ¥76,262 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively.
At March 31, 2005, the UFJ Group had operating loss carryforwards of ¥2,867,310 million and no tax credit carryforwards for tax purposes. Such carryforwards, if not utilized, are scheduled to expire as follows:

In addition, at March 31, 2005, the UFJ Group has pledged certain non-cash financial assets, aggregating ¥2,352,320 million as collateral for acting as a collection agent of public funds, for settlement of exchange at The Bank of Japan and Tokyo Bankers Association, for derivative transactions and for certain other purposes. Such assets primarily include loans and securities. The securities pledged consist principally of Japanese national government and Japanese government agency bonds.
Under Japanese law, Japanese banks are required to maintain certain minimum reserves on deposit with The Bank of Japan based on the amount of deposit balances and certain other factors. There are similar reserve deposit requirements for foreign offices engaged in banking businesses in foreign countries. At March 31, 2004 and 2005, the reserve funds maintained by the UFJ Group, which are included in Cash and due from banks and Interest-earning deposits in other banks, are ¥2,381,921 million and ¥3,890,940 million, respectively.
Collateral
The UFJ Group both accepts and pledges financial assets as collateral for transactions. Such transactions typically include commercial loans, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, security lending transactions, call money and derivatives transactions, while eligible collateral includes, marketable debt and equity securities, trade receivables and certificates of deposit.
Secured parties, including creditors and counterparties to certain transactions, may sell or re-pledge financial assets provided as collateral but their ability to do so differs according to interpretations of specific provisions of applicable statutes, contracts and market practices since certain contracts do not explicitly define the secured partys right to sell or re-pledge collateral. The value of non-cash financial assets pledged is reported on the face of the consolidated balance sheet only when the UFJ Group determines, based on the information available to it, that a secured party is permitted to sell or re-pledge, either by contract or custom, the collateral it received.

At March 31, 2005, the UFJ Group pledged non-cash financial assets with a fair value of ¥10,102,139 million as collateral that it has determined may not be sold or re-pledged by the secured parties.
Certain banking subsidiaries accept collateral for commercial loans and other banking transactions under standardized agreements with customers which stipulate that customers may be required to provide collateral or guarantees. Applicable legislation in Japan generally permits collateral to be negotiated or transferred unless otherwise prohibited by contract or other statutes. Nevertheless, in common with market practice in Japan, the UFJ Group does not sell or re-pledge collateral accepted in connection with commercial loans unless a debtor defaults or other specified credit events occur.
Derivative agreements commonly used in the marketplace do not prohibit a secured partys disposition of non-cash financial assets received as collateral. Similarly, in reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowing transactions, non-cash financial assets accepted as collateral may be sold or re-pledged.
At March 31, 2005, the fair value of the non-cash financial assets accepted as collateral by the UFJ Group that is permitted to be sold or re-pledged was approximately ¥4,374,986 million, of which approximately ¥4,041,024 million was sold or re-pledged.

12. DUE TO TRUST ACCOUNT
UFJ Trust holds assets on behalf of its customers in an agent, fiduciary or trust capacity. Such trust account assets are not the UFJ Groups proprietary assets and are managed and accounted for separately. However, excess cash funds of individual trust accounts are often placed with UFJ Trust, which manages the funds together with its own funds in its proprietary account. Due to trust account reflects a temporary placement of the excess funds from individual trust accounts. In view of the UFJ Groups funding, Due to trust account is similar to short-term funding, including demand deposits and other overnight funds purchased. The balance changes in response to the day-to-day changes in the excess funds placed by the trust accounts. The weighted average interest rate of Due to trust account transactions is 0.47% and 0.45% on the balance at the end of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively.
13. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND LONG-TERM DEBT
At March 31, 2004 and 2005, the UFJ Group had unused lines of credit amounting to ¥2,381,096 million and ¥2,772,170 million, respectively. The amounts principally consist of the lines of collateralized intraday overdrafts without interest charges and collateralized overnight loans on bills at the official discount rate granted by The Bank of Japan, which are used to cover shortages in The Bank of Japan account and to meet liquidity needs. The UFJ Group may borrow from The Bank of Japan on demand up to the total amount of collateral eligible for credit extension.

The interest rates for the adjustable and floating rate debt shown in the above table are those in effect at March 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively. Certain interest rates are determined by formulas and may be subject to certain minimum and maximum rates. Floating and adjustable rate debt agreements may provide for interest rate floors to prevent negative interest payments (i.e. receipts).
Certain debt agreements permit UFJ Bank, UFJ Trust and some other subsidiaries to redeem the related debt, in whole or in part, prior to maturity at the option of the issuer on terms specified in the respective agreements.

14. SEVERANCE INDEMNITIES AND PENSION PLANS
Substantially all of the employees of UFJ Holdings are seconded by UFJ Bank and UFJ Trust. These employees are covered by the severance indemnity and annuity plans offered by each respective employer as discussed below.
The employees of UFJ Bank, UFJ Trust and certain other domestic subsidiaries are covered under lump-sum severance indemnity plans. Under the lump-sum severance indemnity plans, employees receive, at the time of termination of their employment either voluntarily or at contractual retirement age, benefit payments in the form of lump-sum cash payment. Employees with service of one year or more are eligible for the severance indemnity.
In addition to the lump-sum severance indemnities, UFJ Bank, UFJ Trust and certain other domestic subsidiaries offer funded annuity plans to their retiring employees. The annuity plans are established and administered pursuant to the Japanese Welfare Pension Insurance Law (JWPIL). Under the JWPIL, employers with five or more full-time employees are required to participate in the Welfare Pension, which is substantially similar to Social Security in the United States. Employers who participate in the Welfare Pension may, at their discretion, enhance annuity benefits by establishing additional plans known as Employees Pension Funds (EPF). The EPF generally comprises two parts, the corporate portion and the substitutional portion. The benefits paid from the substitutional portion are based on a standard remuneration table set forth by the JWPIL,
F-61
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
whereas the benefits paid from the corporate portion is set forth by the employers that sponsor the plans or the EPF. The benefits provided by the corporate portion of the EPFs sponsored by the UFJ Group are generally based on the length of service and remuneration at the time of termination, except for UFJ Bank, which adopted a new plan formula in April 2002 based on points that employees accumulate over their careers, and determined based on job titles and certain professional certifications.
UFJ Trust and certain other domestic subsidiaries also offer retirement benefits under tax qualified pension plans, which are funded contributory defined annuity plans. These plans generally cover employees with a service period of five years or more, and the annuity benefits vest with the employees with a service period of 15 years or more. The plan provides lifetime annuity benefits with guaranteed annuity payment for 15 years commencing in the month following the month an eligible employee reaches age 60. The amount of annuity benefits is determined based on points that employees accumulate over their careers.
In June 2001, the JWPIL was amended to permit an employer to separate the substitutional portion and transfer the obligation and related assets to the government. In September 2002, UFJ Bank obtained an approval of exemption from the obligation for benefits related to future employee service related to the substitutional portion of its EPF, and started to make pension insurance payments to the government. UFJ Bank received a final approval for separation from the government in November 2004. On December 10, 2004, UFJ Bank completed the transfer of the obligation and the related plan assets that belong to the substitutional portion to the government. In addition, during the year ended March 31, 2005, certain subsidiaries in Japan that had EPFs also completed the transfer of the liability and the related plan assets belonging to the substitutional portion to the government in compliance with the same procedure as did UFJ Bank. Certain other subsidiaries in Japan that have EPFs are currently in process of obtaining the approval from the government for the exemption from the benefit payments related to employee service of the substitutional portion and upon approval will transfer the obligation and the related plan assets relating to the substitutional portion to the government.
In accordance with the consensus on EITF Issue No.03-2, Accounting for the Transfer to Japanese Government of Substitutional Portion of Employee Pension Fund Liabilities (EITF 03-2), UFJ Holdings accounted for the process, upon completion of the transfer of the plan assets to the government, as a single settlement transaction. During the year ended March 31, 2005, UFJ Bank and its subsidiary recognized a settlement loss of ¥42,230 million as part of net periodic pension costs, which is the proportionate amount of the net unrecognized loss immediately prior to the separation related to the entire EPF, and which is determined based on the proportion of the projected benefit obligation settled to the total projected benefit obligation immediately prior to the separation. UFJ Bank and its subsidiary also recognized, as a reduction of net periodic pension costs, a gain of ¥3,853 million which resulted from the derecognition of previously accrued salary progression. In addition, UFJ Bank and its subsidiary recognized a gain of ¥108,814 million which represented the difference between the obligation settled and the assets transferred to the government. The net gain of ¥70,436 million recognized in the transfer was offset by a contingent asset in the amount of ¥20,322 million, which was acquired in the business combination of a variable interest entity.
The components of net periodic benefit cost for the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2005 are as follows:

During the year ended March 31, 2005, certain pension obligations and assets under contributory annuity plans became severance indemnities plans and non-contributory annuity plans. As result, ¥548,484 million and ¥574,496 million of pension obligations and plan assets, respectively, were reclassified. The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for plans with benefit obligations in excess of plan assets are ¥25,193 million, ¥23,795 million and ¥2,758 million at March 31, 2004 and ¥25,911 million, ¥24,633 million and ¥2,929 million at March 31, 2005. The change in the amount included within Accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources for the period arising from the additional minimum pension liability recognized is a decrease of ¥307,092 million and an increase of ¥171 million for the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, the UFJ Group contributed marketable equity securities with fair value totaling ¥116,697 million to the pension trusts designated to pay annuity benefits and lump sum severance indemnities and recognized a gain of ¥40,204 million.
The UFJ Group expects to contribute approximately ¥38,208 million to severance indemnity plans and annuity plans during the year ending March 31, 2006.
Expected benefit payments for the next five fiscal years and in aggregate for the five fiscal years thereafter are as follows:

During the year ended March 31, 2004 and 2005, certain subsidiaries of UFJ Holdings instituted early retirement plans under which employees accepting early retirement were entitled to receive benefits in addition to regular retirement benefits. The expense recognized in connection with such additional benefits amounted to ¥10,734 million and ¥2,460 million for the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively.
Weighted-average actuarial assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost for the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2005 and net obligations at March 31, 2004 and 2005 are as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
component of the plan assets is derived using long-term historical performance and forward-looking return expectations based on future prospects of the economy and capital markets. The expected rate of return on plan assets is the average of the expected rates of return that is weighted by portfolio allocation.
The primary objective of the UFJ Groups investment policy is to maximize return for an appropriate level of risk the UFJ Group can assume to ensure that, combined with the UFJ Groups contributions, funds will be available to cover future benefit payments to the plan participants.
The plan assets are separately administered by each of UFJ Groups subsidiaries. The asset allocations at March 31, 2004 and 2005 as well as the target asset allocations of UFJ Bank and UFJ Trust, the two largest subsidiaries of UFJ Group, are as follows.
The allocation of plan assets for UFJ Banks annuity plan at March 31, 2004 and 2005 is as follows:

In addition, UFJ Bank sponsors pension trusts designated to provide annuity benefits and lump sum severance indemnities to the plan participants, which almost entirely comprise Japanese equity securities.
At March 31, 2004, the plan assets belonging to the substitutional portion of the EPF sponsored by UFJ Bank are invested in low-risk short-term assets to avoid potential depreciation in value and incurrence of a loss at the time of the transfer to the government. In December 2004, UFJ Bank completed its transfer of the substitutional portion and reduced its investment in short-term assets accordingly.
In April 2004, UFJ Bank instituted a plan amendment to reduce benefit payments on the severance indemnity plan and the annuity plan. In June 2004, the trustee of the pension trusts approved a transfer of excess plan assets to UFJ Bank in the amount of ¥153,264 million comprising ¥144,983 million of equity securities and ¥8,281 million of cash.
Japanese equity securities include the UFJ Groups common stock in the amounts of ¥782 million and ¥715 million at March 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively.

Capital Injection to UFJ Bank
On September 17, 2004, UFJ Bank issued ¥700 billion in preferred shares to Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group, Inc. (MTFG). The terms of the issue are as follows:
Name of Newly Issued Shares: |
Class E Preferred Shares of Series 1 of UFJ Bank | |
Number of Shares to be Issued: |
3,500,000,000 shares | |
Issue Price: |
¥200 per share | |
Aggregate Issue Price: |
¥700 billion | |
Payment Date: |
September 17, 2004 | |
Date of the Effect of the Newly Issued Shares: |
September 18, 2004 | |
Right to Convert into Class F Preferred Shares: |
The Class E Preferred Shares Series 1 shareholders would, on or after the day following the payment date, have the right to convert one Class E Preferred Share Series 1 into one Class F Preferred Share, which has voting rights at a meeting of shareholders. MTFG has agreed not to exercise the conversion right unless among other things, any of the Conversion Triggering Events, as defined in the Basic Agreement of Recapitalization dated September 10, 2004, occurs. Such Conversion Triggering Events include the commencement of a tender offer or if any person comes to own more than one-third of UFJ Holdings shares. If all of the Class E Preferred Share Series 1 would have been converted to Class F Preferred Share Series, the Class F Preferred Share Series holders would have 43.2% of the outstanding voting shares of UFJ Bank, based on UFJ Banks issued and outstanding shares at March 31, 2005.
This amount is included within Minority interest at March 31, 2005.
Government-led Loan Restructuring Program
Under the legislation enacted by the Japanese Diet in June 1996, which incorporates the restructuring program for the loans of seven failed housing-loan companies (the Jusen), the Deposit Insurance Corporation (DIC) established the Housing Loan Corporation (HLAC) to collect and dispose of loans of the liquidated Jusen. In 1999, HLAC merged with the Resolution and Collection Bank Limited to create the Resolution and Collection Corporation (RCC), which is wholly owned by the DIC.
Financial institutions, including the UFJ Group, waived repayment of substantial amounts of loans to the Jusen and transferred the remaining balances to HLAC. Financial institutions were requested to make loans to HLAC to finance its collection activities, and in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, the UFJ Group made loans to HLAC of ¥295,626 million with an original maturity term of 15 years, which were included in the loan portfolio at March 31, 2004 and 2005. The 15-year term loans to HLAC, which are guaranteed by the DIC under the legislation and loan agreements, mature in 2011 and earn interest at TIBOR (Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate) plus 0.125%.
Under this restructuring program, a Financial Stabilization Fund (the Special Fund) was established within the DIC, and the Bank of Japan and other financial institutions established another fund (the New Fund). These funds are principally invested in Japanese government bonds. The UFJ Group made non-interest-earning deposits of ¥214,023 million with the Special Fund and the New Fund in the fiscal year ended March 31,
F-68
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
1997. The deposit balances at March 31, 2004 and 2005, which are included in Other assets, are ¥174,582 million and ¥179,221 million, respectively, reflecting a present value discount and subsequent amortization of the discount during the period until the expected maturity date. The non-interest-earning deposits with these funds are expected to mature in 15 years from the deposit dates, which coincides with the planned operational lifespan of HLAC.
It is uncertain what losses (so-called stage two loss), if any, may ultimately be incurred by RCC through the collection of the Jusen loans during the 15-year term. If any such losses ultimately occur, the law concerning Reorganizing Specialized Housing Loan Companies (the Jusen Law) states that Japanese government can compensate for half of such losses, and the DIC can cover the remaining half of the losses. The investment income to be earned by the Special Fund and the New Fund during the 15 years is used by the DIC to compensate for a portion of the public funds used for the Jusen restructuring.
In addition, the Jusen Law states that the DIC can use funds held in the general account to eliminate the cumulative losses incurred at the Special Fund up to the amount prescribed in the Jusen Law. The DIC receives insurance premiums from insured banks at a specified percentage of their deposit balances and manages the insurance premiums in the general accounts. The utilization of funds managed in the general account will be determined by the Operating Committee at the DIC and approved by the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance.
At this time management believes all loans and deposits will be collectible according to their respective terms.

The portion of proceeds from the sale of shares that is designated as capital stock is determined by resolution of the Board of Directors of UFJ Holdings; however, at least 50% of the issue price of newly issued shares is required to be designated as capital stock under the Japanese Commercial Code (the Code). Proceeds in excess of amounts designated as capital stock are designated as capital surplus.
Convertible preferred stock contains a beneficial conversion feature if the effective conversion price (either initially or after being reset) for a share of common stock upon conversion is less than the market price of a share of common stock when the preferred stock was issued. UFJ Holdings accounts for the beneficial conversion features of its preferred stock under the recognition and measurement principles of EITF Issue No. 98-5 Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversions Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios and EITF Issue No. 00-27 Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments.
Beneficial conversion feature discounts are measured as the excess of the market price of a share of common stock when the preferred stock is issued over the initial or reset preferred stock conversion price per

share of common stock. Beneficial conversion feature discounts are charged to capital surplus when recognized and amortized to accumulated deficit, as non-cash preferred dividends using the effective yield method. Initial beneficial conversion feature discounts are amortized over the period from the issuance date of the preferred stock to the mandatory conversion date. Contingent beneficial conversion feature discounts are recognized when the reset conversion price is determinable and amortized over the period from the conversion price reset date to the mandatory conversion date. Any unamortized beneficial conversion feature discount remaining when preferred stock is converted at the option of the holder before the mandatory conversion date is immediately charged to accumulated deficit as a non-cash preferred dividend.

18. REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
UFJ Holdings, UFJ Bank, UFJ Trust and various other bank subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory capital requirements promulgated by the regulatory authorities of the countries in which they operate. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements will initiate certain mandatory actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on UFJ Holdings consolidated financial statements.
In Japan, UFJ Holdings, UFJ Bank, and UFJ Trust are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the Financial Services Agency (FSA) in accordance with the provisions of the Banking Law and related regulations. A banking institution is subject to the minimum capital adequacy requirements both on a consolidated basis and a stand-alone basis and is required to maintain the minimum capital irrespective of whether it operates independently or as a subsidiary under the control of another company. When a bank holding company manages operations of its banking subsidiaries, it is required to maintain the minimum capital adequacy ratio on a consolidated basis in the same manner as its subsidiary banks. The FSA provides two sets of capital adequacy guidelines. One is a set of guidelines applicable to Japanese banks and bank holding companies with foreign offices conducting international operations, and the other is applicable to Japanese banks and bank holding companies that are not engaged in international operations.
Under the capital adequacy guidelines applicable to a Japanese banking institution with international operations conducted by foreign offices, the minimum target capital ratio of 8.0% is required. The capital adequacy guidelines adopt the approach of risk-weighted capital measure based on the framework developed and proposed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision of the Bank for International Settlements and involve quantitative credit measures of the assets and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under Japanese GAAP. The UFJ Groups proprietary assets do not include trust assets under management and administration in a capacity of agent or fiduciary and, accordingly trust account assets are generally not included in the capital measure. However, if trust principal is guaranteed, trust assets are counted the same as proprietary assets. Also, a banking institution engaged in certain qualified trading activities, as defined, is required to calculate an additional capital charge for market risk using either the institutions own internal risk measurement model or a standardized process proposed and defined by the Bank for International Settlements. Capital is classified into three tiers, referred to as Tier I, Tier II and Tier III. Tier I generally consists of shareholders equity (including common stock, preferred stock, capital surplus, minority interests and retained earnings) less any recorded goodwill. Tier II generally consists of general reserves for credit losses up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets, 45% of the unrealized gains on available for sale investment securities, 45% of the land revaluation excess, the balance of perpetual subordinated debt and the balance of subordinated term debt with an original maturity of over five years subject to some limitations, up to 50% of Tier I capital. Preferred shares are includable in Tier I capital unless the preferred shares have a fixed maturity, in which case, such preferred shares will be components of Tier II capital. Tier III capital generally consists of short-term subordinated debt with an original maturity of at least two years, subject to certain limitations. At least 50% of the minimum capital requirements must be maintained in the form of Tier I capital.
If a banking institution is not engaged in international operations conducted by foreign offices, it is subject to the other set of capital adequacy requirements with a minimum target capital ratio of 4.0%. Such guidelines incorporate measures of risk under the risk-weighted approach similar to the guidelines applicable to banking institutions with international operations. Qualifying capital is classified into Tier I and Tier II capital. Tier II does not include the unrealized gains on available for sale investment securities and also the general reserves for credit losses includable is limited to 0.625% of risk weighted assets.
The Banking Law and related regulations require that one of three categories be assigned to banks and bank holding companies, based on its risk-adjusted capital adequacy ratio if the bank fails to meet the minimum target capital adequacy ratio. These categories indicate capital deterioration, which may be subject to certain prompt corrective action by the FSA.

Under the Securities and Exchange Law, securities companies in Japan are subject to the capital adequacy rules of the FSA. These rules require the maintenance of a capital adequacy ratio, which is defined as the ratio of adjusted capital to a quantified total of business risk, of not less than 120%. Adjusted capital is defined as net worth (which includes shareholders equity, net unrealized gains and losses on securities held, reserves and subordinated debts) less illiquid assets. The business risks are divided into three categories: (1) market risks, (2) counterparty risks and (3) basic risks. Under this rule, there are no restrictions on the operations of the companies provided that the resulting net capital adequacy ratio exceeds 120%. At March 31, 2004 and 2005, the capital adequacy ratio of the UFJ Group exceeded 120%.
Management believes, at March 31, 2005, that UFJ Holdings, UFJ Bank, UFJ Trust, other bank subsidiaries and regulated securities subsidiaries meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

20. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The UFJ Group uses various derivative financial instruments both for trading purposes and for risk management purposes in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its customers, as a source of revenue and to manage its exposure to a variety of risks. The UFJ Group is a party to derivatives, including swaps, forwards, options and other types of derivatives, dealing primarily with market risk associated with interest rate, foreign currency, equity and commodity prices and credit risk.
Market risk is the possibility that future changes in market prices make a financial instrument less valuable. Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may result from a counterpartys failure to perform according to the terms and conditions of a contract, which may exceed the value of underlying collateral. To reduce credit risk, the UFJ Group may require collateral or guarantees based on a case-by-case assessment of creditworthiness of each customer and evaluation of the instrument. The UFJ Group also uses master netting agreements in order to mitigate overall counterparty credit risk.
Trading Activities
The UFJ Groups trading activities include dealing and other activities measured at fair value with gains and losses recognized currently in earnings. As part of its trading activities, the UFJ Group offers a variety of derivative financial instruments and debt instruments for managing interest rate and foreign exchange risk to its domestic and foreign corporate and financial institution customers. The UFJ Group also enters into other types of derivative transactions, including equity- and credit-related contracts, for its own account.
Risk Management Activities
In the normal course of business, the UFJ Group enters into derivatives, including interest rate and foreign exchange contracts to help its customers manage their risk exposures. The UFJ Group also uses derivative instruments for its own trading accounts and to manage its asset and liability exposures related to interest rate and foreign exchange risks.
The UFJ Group uses interest rate derivatives, including non-leveraged generic interest rate and basis swaps, options and futures, principally to manage exposures to fluctuations in fair value due to interest rate risk. Pay-fixed receive-variable interest rate swap contracts are used to convert fixed rate assets, principally loans and investment securities, into synthetic variable rate instruments. Receive-fixed pay-variable interest rate swaps contracts are used to convert fixed rate funding sources, principally deposit liabilities and debt, into synthetic variable rate funding instruments.
The UFJ Group uses exchange rate derivatives, including cross-currency swaps and forward exchange contracts, principally to manage exposures to fluctuations in fair value due to foreign exchange risks. Cross-currency interest rate swaps are contracts that generally involve the exchange of both interest and principal amounts in two different currencies to manage exposures to fluctuations in fair value due to foreign exchange risks.
Derivative instruments may expose the UFJ Group to market risk or credit risk in excess of the amounts recorded on the balance sheets. Market risk arises due to market price, interest rate and foreign exchange rate fluctuations that may result in a decrease in the market value of a financial instrument and/or an increase in its funding cost. Exposure to market risk is managed through position limits and other controls and by entering into hedging transactions. Credit risk is the possibility that losses may occur from counterpartys failure to perform according to the terms of the contract, when the value of collateral held, if any, is not adequate to cover such
F-80
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
losses. Credit risk is controlled through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures based on the same credit policies used for on-balance-sheet instruments. Generally, collateral or other security is not required. The amount of collateral obtained, if any, is based on the nature of the financial instrument and managements credit evaluation of each counterparty.
Derivatives are used for asset and liability management to manage exposures to fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates arising from mismatches of asset and liability positions, however the UFJ Group has not adopted hedge accounting for these derivatives. Accordingly, all derivatives used for risk management purposes are marked to market through the statement of income.
Embedded Derivatives
Derivative features embedded in other non-derivative host contracts are separated from the host contracts and measured at fair value when they are not clearly and closely related to the host contract and meet the definition of a derivative. The change in the fair value of such an embedded derivative is recognized currently in earnings. The carrying amount is reported on the consolidated balance sheets with the host contract. The UFJ Group accounts for credit-linked notes as host contracts with embedded derivatives and measures the entire contracts at fair value.
21. OBLIGATIONS UNDER GUARANTEES AND OTHER OFF-BALANCE SHEET INSTRUMENTS
Obligations Under Guarantees
The UFJ Group provides customers with a variety of guarantees and similar arrangements, including standby letters of credit, financial and performance guarantees, credit protections, liquidity facilities, other off-balance sheet credit-related supports and similar instruments, in order to meet customers financial and business needs. The table below summarizes the contractual or notional amounts with regard to obligations under guarantees and similar arrangements at March 31, 2004 and 2005. The contractual or notional amounts of these instruments represent the maximum potential amounts of future payments without consideration of possible recoveries under recourse provisions or from collateral held or pledged.
For certain types of derivatives, such as written interest rate options and written currency options, the maximum potential future payments are unlimited. Accordingly, it is impracticable to estimate such maximum potential amount of future payments. As such, the notional amounts of the related contracts, other than the maximum potential payments, are included in the table.
F-81
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
The UFJ Group mitigates credit risk exposure resulting from guarantees by utilizing various techniques, including collateralization in the form of cash, securities, and real properties based on managements credit assessment of the guaranteed parties and the related credit profile. In order to manage credit risk exposure, the UFJ Group also enters into sub-participation contracts with third parties who will fund a portion of the credit facility and bear their share of the loss to be incurred in the event that the borrower fails to fulfill its obligations. The following table includes unfunded commitments of ¥18 billion and ¥12 billion, at March 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively, that are participated out to third parties. Contractual or notional amounts summarized in the following table may not necessarily bear a direct relationship to the future actual credit exposure, primarily because of these risk management techniques.

Nature of guarantee contracts
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees generally include an obligation of an issuer or a designated third party to guarantee the performance of the customer to the beneficiary under the terms of contracts such as lending contracts and other similar financial transactions. The UFJ Group is required to make payments to the guaranteed parties in the event that customers fail to fulfill their obligations under such contracts.
Performance guarantees are contracts that contingently require the UFJ Group to make payments to the guaranteed party based on another partys failure to perform under an obligating agreement, except financial obligation. For example, performance guarantees include guarantees of completion of construction or service projects.
F-82
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
Liquidity facilities may include a provision of guarantees of collection of contractual cash flows under an asset securitization structure, involving variable interest entities. Such guarantee provisions protect the beneficiaries of asset securitizations from negative returns relating to shortfalls of cash collections on underlying assets held by the securitization vehicle. See Note 22 for additional information on the UFJ Groups operations regarding variable interest entities.
Derivative instruments that are deemed to be included within the definition of guarantees as prescribed in FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (FIN 45), include certain written options and credit default swaps. In order for the UFJ Group to determine if those derivative instruments meet the definition of guarantees as prescribed in FIN 45, the UFJ Group applies criteria of whether a derivative contract specifies an underlying in which adverse changes could result in losses on a counterpartys assets, liabilities or capital and the counterparty could cover those losses with proceeds from the derivative contract. Accordingly, the UFJ Group has disclosed information on such identified credit default swaps and certain written options that meet the definition of guarantees as prescribed in FIN 45.
Guarantees for the repayment of trust principal include guarantees that the UFJ Group provides for the repayment of principal of certain types of trust products, including certain jointly operated designated money in trusts and loan trusts. The UFJ Group manages and administers trust assets in a capacity of agent or fiduciary on behalf of its customers and trust assets are segregated from the assets of the UFJ Group, which keeps records for the trust activities separately. The UFJ Group, in principle, does not assume any risks associated with the trust assets under management, however, as permitted by applicable laws, the UFJ Group may provide guarantees for the repayment of principal of such trust products. At March 31, 2004 and 2005, the contract amounts of such guarantees for repayment of trust principal were ¥2,379 billion and ¥1,685 billion, respectively. The accounting methods used for the segregated records of trust activities are different from financial accounting principles and practices. However, the UFJ Group follows an approach similar to those used for its own assets to identify an impairment of an asset included in trusts with guaranteed principal, with inherent variations peculiar to trust accounting. Amounts of loans deemed to be impaired are written off directly and are charged to the trust account earnings during the trust accounting period. Write-downs of securities are also directly charged to trust account earnings. The amounts of trust assets written-off in the segregated records were ¥10,868 million and ¥9,531 million, for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively. These amounts of write-offs were reflected in the segregated records as deductions before net fees earned by trust accounts for the accounting period. In addition, part of trust account fees are set aside as a reserve to absorb losses in the trust asset portfolios in the segregated records in accordance with relevant legislation concerning the trust business and/or trust agreements. Statutory reserves for loan trusts are established at a rate of 4.0% of the trust fees up to the amounts of 0.5% of the trust principal in accordance with the legislation. Reserves for jointly operated designated money in trusts are established at a rate of 0.3% of the balance of loans and other assets in the trust account in accordance with the related trust agreement. The amounts of such reserves set aside in the segregated records were ¥4,805 million and ¥3,472 million, at March 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively. The UFJ Group is required to provide an allowance for off-balance sheet instruments on such guarantees in the financial statements only when aggregate losses on trust assets are judged to exceed the reserve and the profit earned by the trust account, and the principal is deemed to be impaired. Management believes that the UFJ Group will not incur any significant losses on the guarantees.
Liabilities of trust accounts represent the trustees potential responsibility for temporary payments to creditors of trust accounts making use of funds of the UFJ Group, except for certain trust agreements that have provisions limiting the UFJ Groups responsibility as a trustee to the trust account assets. A trust may incur external liabilities to finance its activities and obtain certain services during the terms of the trust arrangement. While, in principle, any liabilities of a trust are payable by the trust account and its beneficiaries, a trustees
F-83
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
responsibility may be interpreted to encompass temporary payments for the trust account liabilities when the trust account has insufficient liquidity available for such liabilities. At March 31, 2004 and 2005, there were liabilities of ¥1,310 billion and ¥1,245 billion, respectively, in the segregated records of trust accounts including the amounts related to liabilities with provisions limiting trustee responsibility. Liabilities of trust accounts principally included obligations to return collateral under security lending transactions. The UFJ Group has experienced no significant losses on such responsibilities and its exposure to the risk associated with the temporary payments is judged to be remote because trust account liabilities are generally covered by the corresponding trust account assets; the UFJ Group continuously monitors the liabilities of trust accounts and assesses the trust accounts ability to perform its obligations to prevent any unfavorable outcomes; and the UFJ Group claims its recourse for any temporary payments against the trust account assets and the beneficiaries.
Carrying amount
At March 31, 2004 and 2005, the carrying amounts of the liabilities related to guarantees and similar instruments set forth above were ¥39,834 million and ¥151,973 million, respectively, which are included in Other liabilities and Trading account liabilities. In addition, Other liabilities also include an allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet instruments of ¥67,752 million and ¥79,589 million at March 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively, related to these transactions.
Other Off-Balance Sheet Instruments
In addition to obligations under guarantees set forth above, the UFJ Group issues other off-balance sheet instruments for purposes other than trading. Such off-balance sheet instruments consist of lending-related commitments, including commitments to extend credit and commercial letters of credit that the UFJ Group provides to meet the financing needs of its customers. Once the UFJ Group issues these financial instruments, the UFJ Group is required to extend credit to or make certain payments to the customers or beneficiaries specified pursuant to the underlying contracts unless otherwise provided in the contracts. Since many of these commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. At March 31, 2005, approximately 92% of these commitments will expire within one year, 7% from one year to five years and 1% after five years. The table below summarizes the contractual amounts of these commitments at March 31, 2004 and 2005.

Commitments to extend credit, which generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses, are legally binding agreements to lend to customers. Commitments are different from guarantees in that the commitments are generally revocable or have provisions that enable the UFJ Group to avoid payments in the event of violations of any conditions of the contracts or certain deterioration of the potential borrowers financial condition.
Commercial letters of credit, used for facilitating trade transactions, are generally secured by underlying goods. The UFJ Group continually monitors the type and amount of collateral and other security, and requires counterparties to provide additional collateral or guarantees as necessary.
F-84
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
Reverse repurchase and repurchase transactions are collateralized financing agreements. In a sale of securities or other financial instruments with agreement to repurchase them, the UFJ Group sells securities or other financial instruments at a stated price to a counterparty and agrees to repurchase identical financial instruments from the same counterparty at a later date at a predetermined price which reflects the principal amount and interest. In a purchase of securities or other financial instruments with an agreement to resell them, the UFJ Group receives securities or other financial instruments for a stated price from a counterparty and agrees to sell identified financial instrument to the same counterparty at a later date at a predetermined price reflecting the principal amount and interest. When certain conditions specified in SFAS No. 140 are met, the UFJ Group accounts for reverse repurchase agreements as purchase of financial instruments with related off-balance sheet forward reverse repurchase commitments and repurchase agreements as sale of financial instruments with related forward repurchase agreements. The UFJ Group bears risk related to the forward reverse repurchase and repurchase commitments, including credit risk and market risk and accounts for such commitments as derivative financial instruments. The UFJ Group accounts for repurchase agreements as borrowings and retains the securities sold in the balance sheet, and accounts for reverse repurchase agreements as secured lending transactions.
Commitments to make investments are legally binding contracts to make additional contributions to corporate recovery or private equity investment funds in accordance with limited partnership agreements. Funds in which the UFJ Group has significant variable interest, are described in Note 22.
22. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
The table below is a summary of the carrying amounts and classification of consolidated assets of variable interest entities that the UFJ Group consolidates under the provisions of FIN 46R as of March 31, 2005 and 2004. The table also summarizes the carrying amounts and classification of consolidated assets of variable interest entities that are consolidated as of March 31, 2004 under the existing standards prior to the adoption of FIN 46R as well as those that the UFJ Group became first involved with on or after February 1, 2003.

Of the ¥3,745,350 million of total assets of variable interest entities consolidated at March 31, 2005, ¥381,437 million relates to sales and securitization of the UFJ Groups financial assets, ¥1,350,749 million relates to financing entities that purchase financial assets from or provide financing to UFJ Groups customers, and ¥53,488 million for investment purposes and ¥1,959,676 million for certain borrowers of the UFJ Group.
Of the ¥2,254,427 million of total assets of variable interest entities consolidated at March 31, 2004, ¥647,285 million related to sales and securitization of the UFJ Groups financial assets, ¥1,586,612 million related to financing entities that purchase financial assets from or provide financing to UFJ Groups customers, and ¥20,530 million relate to transaction entered into for investment purposes.

UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
The UFJ Groups assets sold to the variable interest entities include corporate loans, housing loans and privately placed corporate bonds. Occasionally, these entities purchase loans originated by other financial institutions. In addition to subordinated loans to these entities, the UFJ Group provides liquidity facilities to some of the entities.
The assets held by the financing entities, which are primarily asset-backed commercial paper conduits, include corporate loans, receivables under lease contracts and security deposits. The UFJ Group provides loans as well as liquidity facilities to the entities.
The UFJ Group administers conduits that purchase financial assets from UFJ Groups customers. Also, UFJ Group extends credits to certain entities that provide financing to the UFJ Groups customers. These entities are typically funded by investments under partnership agreements from customers or by borrowings from the UFJ Group or third parties. In certain transactions in which the UFJ Group underwrites the instruments issued by the conduits, it provides interim funds until it finds third-party investors. In this type of arrangement, the owner of real estate properties receives financing from the entity that is secured by the property. The UFJ Group consolidates entities in which it participates in a majority of risks and rewards through the investment and financing including the interim funds.
The entities created for investment purposes involve entities that invest in Japanese government bonds and other investment securities using loans from the UFJ Group, or credit-linked loans from the UFJ Group that are referenced to credit risks of certain borrowers.
In March 2004, UFJ Bank purchased ¥200 billion of preferred stock issued by Nippon Shinpan, a large Japanese consumer credit company. UFJ holdings owned 10.0% of Nippon Shinpans common shares as of March 31, 2005. Nippon Shinpan has been treated as a subsidiary of UFJ Holdings since April 1, 2004 as Nippon Shinpan is deemed to be the variable interest entity to which UFJ Holdings is the primary beneficiary. On a consolidated basis, Nippon Shinpan had total assets of ¥1,664.7 billion as of March 31, 2005 and net income of ¥13.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 under U.S. GAAP. The results of Nippon Shinpan are reflected predominantly in Interest income on loans, Fees and commission income and Non-interest expenses. For periods prior to April 1, 2004, Nippon Shinpan was an equity-method affiliate of UFJ Holdings.
In addition to Nippon Shinpan, upon adoption of FIN 46R, the UFJ Group concluded that certain borrowers are variable interest entities due to their insufficient equity at risk, requiring additional subordinated financial support to sustain their business. The UFJ Group is considered the primary beneficiary of these borrowers due to the exposure to a majority of the expected losses primarily through loans extended to these entities. The UFJ Group consolidated these borrowers for the first time beginning April 1, 2004 and recognized a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, net of income taxes, of ¥2,942 million. These entities are primarily engaged in real estate business.
In addition to the variable interest entities that are consolidated, the UFJ Group has significant interests in other variable interest entities that are not consolidated because the UFJ Group is not primary beneficiary, as discussed below.
The UFJ Group administers several third-party owned finance companies, primarily commercial paper conduits, that purchase financial assets including loans as well as pools of trade or lease receivables from its customers. In addition, the UFJ Group provides funds to the financing companies administered by other financial institutions that purchase financial assets from their customers. Assets purchased by these conduits are generally funded by issuing commercial paper, or partly by borrowings from the UFJ Group or third parties. While customers generally continue to service the transferred assets, the UFJ Group or other financial institutions

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
underwrites, distributes, makes a market in commercial paper issued by the conduits, and also provides liquidity and credit support facilities to the entities. The UFJ Group is not the primary beneficiary of these entities because it together with its related parties is not exposed to a majority of the expected losses due to the existence of third-party investments. At March 31, 2005 and 2004, the total assets of these entities amounts to ¥21,664,151 million and ¥13,559,240 million, respectively, and the UFJ Group is exposed to a maximum loss of ¥100,714 million and ¥48,822 million, respectively.
The UFJ Group holds investments in various investment funds that collectively invest in equity and debt securities including listed Japanese securities and investment grade bonds, and, to a limited extent, securities and other interests issued by companies in a start-up or restructuring stage. Such investment funds are managed by investment advisory companies or fund management companies that make investment decisions and administer the funds. Since the equity holders do not have the substantive decision-making power and they do not have kick-out rights on the investment manager, these investment funds are variable interest entities. At March 31, 2005 and 2004, these investment funds have total assets of ¥14,013,295 million and ¥9,930,938 million, respectively, and the UFJ Group is exposed to a maximum loss of ¥280,432 million and ¥243,503 million, respectively.
The UFJ Group extends non-recourse asset-backed loans to special purpose entities, which hold certain equipment, real estate assets or beneficial interests in real estate properties, to provide financing for the securitization of existing real estate properties held by the UFJ Groups customers and development projects including real estate development and natural resource development managed by third parties, who are typically the equity owner of the special purpose entities. The UFJ Group generally acts as a member of a lending group, and is not exposed to a majority of the expected losses of these entities. At March 31, 2005 and 2004, these entities have total assets of ¥24,643,820 million and ¥17,518,342 million, respectively, and the UFJ Group is exposed to a maximum loss of ¥554,484 million and ¥414,731 million, respectively.
In addition to the above entities, the UFJ Group offers a variety of trust products and manages and administers a wide range of trust arrangements through securities investment trusts, pension trusts and trusts used in the securitization of assets originated by and transferred to third parties. In a typical trust arrangement, the UFJ Group manages and administers the assets on behalf of the customers in an agency, fiduciary and trust capacity. In principle, the UFJ Group does not assume risks associated with the entrusted assets, which are borne by the customers, although in limited cases the UFJ Group may assume risks through guarantees or certain protections as provided in the trust agreement.
Further, the UFJ Group extends credits, along with other financial institutions, to numerous financing entities that provide project financing or financing on an acquisition of an aircraft or large commercial vessel. The source of repayment by the entities is primarily the lease payments from the lessee. In this type of arrangement, the lessee generally assumes the risks and rewards of the entity. The UFJ Group extends loans based on the credit quality of the lessee, and does not participate in the economics of the assets being financed by the entities.
At March 31, 2005 and 2004, the UFJ Group had 11 wholly-owned financing vehicles that were formed to issue preferred securities to third-party investors.
At March 31, 2004, these financing vehicles were consolidated as UFJ Holdings subsidiaries under the existing standards that were effective before the adoption of FIN 46R. Common stock of and loans to the financing vehicles were eliminated in the consolidated balance sheet, and the preferred securities issued by the financing vehicles have been classified as minority interests. Upon adopting FIN 46R, UFJ Holdings deconsolidated the financing vehicles, and ¥1,226,106 million of subordinated debt the UFJ Group issued to the financing vehicles are reflected as long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2005. As of
F-87
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
March 31, 2005, the carrying value of the UFJ Groups common equity interests in the financing vehicles amounted to ¥97,335 million while the total assets of the financing vehicles amounted to ¥1,233,275 million.
In addition to those troubled borrowers the UFJ Group consolidated upon adoption of FIN 46R, the UFJ Group concluded that certain other troubled borrowers are variable interest entities due to their insufficient equity at risk, requiring additional subordinated financial support to sustain their businesses. The UFJ Group acts as one of the lenders providing loans to the entities, while holding equity investments through preferred shares as a result of debt-for-equity swaps as well as common shares that are not significant in terms of the aggregate capitalization of those entities. The UFJ Group is not considered as the primary beneficiary of any of these entities because it is not exposed to a majority of the expected losses as of the date FIN 46R requires the assessment. These entities include companies engaged in consumer financing, construction, retail and real estate businesses. Some of those entities have entered into assistance of the Industrial Revitalization Corporation of Japan (IRCJ) after October 2004. The IRCJ was created in 2003 by the Japanese government to assist troubled companies escape their debt burden. IRCJ assistance is not considered a legal reorganization. When a troubled company asks for IRCJ assistance, the IRCJ arbitrates the troubled company and lenders as well as other affected parties in developing a plan for rehabilitation and financial support, which may include loan forgiveness and debt-for-equity swap. At March 31, 2005, these troubled borrowers have total assets of ¥5,149,947 million and the UFJ Group is exposed to a maximum loss of ¥852,622 million.

25. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The business segment information of UFJ Holdings and its subsidiaries, set forth below, is derived from the internal management reporting system used by management to measure performance of the business segments. Unlike financial accounting, there is no authoritative body of guidance for management accounting. The business segment information is based on financial information prepared in accordance with Japanese GAAP along with internal management accounting rules and practices. Accordingly, the format and information is presented primarily on the basis of Japanese GAAP and is not consistent with the consolidated financial statements prepared on the basis of US GAAP. A reconciliation is provided to the total amount of segments operating profits with income before income tax expense and cumulative effect of change in accounting principle under US GAAP.
See Note 26 for financial information relating to the UFJ Groups operations by geographic area. The geographic financial information is consistent with the basis of accounting used in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Net revenue above includes net interest income, net non-interest income (fees and commissions received including trust fees, net of fees paid and other related expenses) and other, including net trading gains, net foreign exchange gains, net gains from sales of debt investment securities, insurance costs and funding cost measured under Japanese GAAP. Interest income and expenses between business units are determined using an internal transfer pricing system, based on current market rates. Operating expenses includes salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and certain other non-interest expenses.
In determining operating profit, UFJ Holdings does not assign to each business unit certain income and expense items such as provisions for loan loss reserve, equity investment securities gains or losses, goodwill impairment, net gains or losses from disposition of premises and equipment, and other non-interest income and expense items.
Reconciliation
As set forth above, the measurement bases and the income and expenses items covered under the internal management reporting system are very different from the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

26. FOREIGN ACTIVITIES
Foreign operations include the business conducted by overseas offices and involve various transactions with debtors and customers residing outside Japan. Close integration of the UFJ Groups foreign and domestic activities makes precise estimates of the amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses attributable to foreign operations difficult and necessarily subjective. Assets, income and expenses attributable to foreign operations are allocated to geographical areas based on the location of the subsidiary or branch in which the transaction is recorded.

UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Interest rates with respect to funds borrowed and loaned between domestic and foreign operations are based on prevailing money market rates appropriate for the transactions. The UFJ Group has allocated all direct expenses and a proportionate share of general and administrative expenses to income derived from foreign loans and other transactions by the UFJ Groups foreign operations.

27. ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Quoted market prices, when available, are used to estimate fair value of financial instruments. However, quoted market prices are not available for a substantial portion of financial instruments and, therefore, fair value for such financial instruments are estimated using discounted cash flow models or other valuation techniques. Although management uses its best judgment in estimating fair value of financial instruments, estimation methodologies and assumptions used to estimate fair value are inherently subjective. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the values at which these instruments could be bought and sold. The use of different estimation methodologies and/or market assumptions may have a significant effect on the estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of financial instruments do not include valuations of related intangible assets such as core deposits.

The methodologies and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments are summarized below.
Cash, interest-earning deposits in other banks, call loans and funds sold, and receivables under reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowing transactionsFor cash, due from banks including interest-earning deposits, and call loans and funds sold, the carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of the fair value because of their short-term nature and limited credit risk. The fair value of interest-earning deposits in other banks maturing after a short period of time is estimated by discounting the estimated cash flows using the applicable current market rates. For receivables under reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowing transactions, the fair value is based on quoted market prices, when available, or estimated with reference to quoted market prices for similar instruments when quoted market prices are not available.
Trading securities and securities sold, not yet purchasedTrading securities and securities sold, not yet purchased are carried at fair value, which is principally based on quoted market prices, when available. If the quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.
Investment securitiesThe fair value of investment securities, where quoted market prices or secondary market prices are available, is equal to such market prices. For investment securities, when quoted market prices or secondary market prices are not available, the fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar
F-93
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
securities or based on appraised value as deemed appropriate by management. The fair value of investment securities other than those classified as available for sale (i.e. nonmarketable equity securities) are estimated based on the acquisition cost of the investments and adjusted for other-than-temporary impairment losses, if any.
LoansThe fair value of loans is estimated for groups of loans with similar characteristics, including type of loan, credit quality and remaining maturity. In incorporating a credit risk factor, management concluded that the allowance for loan losses adequately adjusts the related book values for credit risk. For floating-or adjustable-rate loans, which mature or are repriced within a short period of time, the carrying value is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value. For fixed-rate loans, market prices are not generally available and the fair value is estimated by discounting the estimated future cash flows based on the contracted maturity of the loans. The discount rates are based on the current market rates corresponding to the applicable maturity. Where quoted market prices or estimated fair value is available, primarily for loans to refinancing companies, loans held for disposition or sale and certain other foreign loans, the fair value is based on such market prices and estimated fair value, including secondary market prices. For nonperforming loans, the fair value is generally determined on an individual basis by discounting the estimated future cash flows and may be based on the appraisal value of underlying collateral as appropriate.
Other financial assetsThe estimated fair value of other financial assets, which primarily includes accrued interest receivable, customers acceptance liabilities and accounts receivable, approximate their carrying amounts.
Derivative financial instrumentsThe estimated fair value of derivative financial instruments is the amount the UFJ Group would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the balance-sheet date, taking into account the current unrealized gain or loss on open contracts. The estimated fair value is based on market or dealer quotes when available. Valuation models such as present value and option pricing models are applied to current market information to estimate fair value when such quotes are not available.
Non-interest-bearing deposits, call money and funds purchased, payables under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions, and obligations to return securities received as collateralThe fair value of non-interest-bearing deposits is equal to the amount payable on demand. For call money and funds purchased, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of the fair value because of their short-term nature. For payables under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions and obligations to return securities received as collateral, the fair value is generally based on quoted market prices, when available, or estimated using quoted market prices for similar instruments when quoted market prices are not available.
Interestbearing depositsThe fair value of demand deposits, deposits at notice, and certificates of deposit maturing within a short period of time is the amounts payable on demand. Fair value of time deposits and certificates of deposit maturing after a short period of time is estimated by discounting the estimated cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities or the applicable current market rates.
Due to trust accountFor due to trust account, which reflects a temporary placement of excess funds from individual trust accounts managed by the trust banking subsidiary in their fiduciary and trust capacity, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of the fair value due to the fact that this is short-term funding.
Other short-term borrowingsFor most other short-term borrowings, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of the fair value because of their short-term nature. For certain borrowings, fair value is estimated by discounting the estimated future cash flows using applicable current market interest rates or comparable rates for similar instruments, which represent the UFJ Groups cost to raise funds with a similar remaining maturity.
F-94
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
Long-term debtFor bonds and certain subordinated debt, the fair value is estimated based on quoted market prices of the instruments. The fair value of other long-term debt is estimated using a discounted cash flow model based on rates applicable to the UFJ Group for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.
Other financial liabilitiesThe estimated fair value of other financial liabilities, which primarily include accrued interest payable, bank acceptances, accounts payable and obligations under standby letters of credit and guarantees, approximate their carrying amount. The fair value of obligations under standby letters of credit and guarantees are based on fees received or receivable by the UFJ Group.
The fair value of certain off-balance sheet financial instruments held for purposes other than trading, including commitments to extend credit and commercial letters of credit, is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the credit quality. The aggregate fair value of such instruments at March 31, 2004 and 2005 was not material.
The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management at March 31, 2004 and 2005. These amounts have not been comprehensively revalued since that date and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may have changed significantly from the amounts presented herein.
28. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ON NON-CASH ACTIVITIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. | BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Description of Business
UFJ Holdings, Inc. (UFJ Holdings) and its subsidiaries (together, the UFJ Group) conduct domestic and international financial business primarily through UFJ Bank Limited (UFJ Bank) and UFJ Trust Bank Limited (UFJ Trust), via domestic and international networks of branches, offices and subsidiaries. UFJ Bank is a major commercial banking institution, providing a broad range of financial services to consumers and corporations through commercial banking, global banking and trading, and other activities. UFJ Trust is a trust and banking subsidiary whose primary business encompasses retail and corporate banking, trust services, stock transfer agency services, asset management services and custody operations in Japan.
Basis of Financial Statements
On April 2, 2001, UFJ Holdings was established, as a bank holding company, to acquire all of the outstanding shares of The Sanwa Bank, Limited (Sanwa Bank), The Tokai Bank, Limited (Tokai Bank) and The Toyo Trust and Banking Company, Limited (Toyo Trust) each of which became wholly-owned subsidiaries pursuant to stock-for-stock exchanges. The business combination was accounted for as a purchase by Sanwa Bank of Tokai Bank and Toyo Trust.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are stated in Japanese Yen, the currency of the country in which UFJ Holdings is incorporated and principally operates. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP).
Annual fiscal periods of certain subsidiaries, which end on or after December 31, and UFJ Holdings fiscal year, which ends on March 31, have been treated as coterminous. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2003 and 2004, the effect of recording intervening events for the periods ended March 31 on UFJ Holdings proportionate equity in net income of subsidiaries with fiscal periods ending prior to March 31, would have resulted in increases of ¥2.92 billion and ¥5.97 billion, respectively, to net income. No intervening events occurred during each of the periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2004 for these subsidiaries which, if recorded, would have had an effect of more than 1% of total assets, loans, total liabilities, deposits or stockholders equity as of March 31, 2003 and 2004.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term primarily relate to the allowance for credit losses on loans and off-balance sheet credit instruments, deferred tax assets and related allowances, derivative financial instruments, goodwill, investment securities and accrued severance indemnities and pension liabilities. It is reasonably possible that the estimate of recoverability of the loans to some of the UFJ Groups large impaired borrowers could change due to changes in financial and operating conditions of these borrowers. The effect of any such change could have a material impact on the future financial performance of the UFJ Group.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Significant accounting policies applied in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are summarized below:
ConsolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the accounts of UFJ Holdings and its subsidiaries. UFJ Holdings consolidates subsidiaries in which it holds, directly or indirectly, a majority of the voting shares or where it can exert control over a subsidiarys operational and financial policies through other means. In certain situations, a voting interest is not indicative of who owns a controlling financial interest in an entity. In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 and issued a revised version of FIN 46 in December 2003 (FIN 46R). FIN 46 and FIN 46R require that a variable interest entity be consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the investor that, through its variable interests in the entity, participates in a majority of the entitys expected loss, residual return or both. Variable interests are contractual, ownership, or other pecuniary interests in an entity that change with changes in the fair value of the entitys net assets exclusive of variable interests. Variable interests include, but are not limited to, equity interests, beneficial interests, loans, guarantees, commitment facilities and derivative contracts. A variable interest entity is an entity whose equity at risk is not sufficient to fund its activities without additional subordinated financial support or the equity holders do not have essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest. In accordance with the provisions of FIN 46, UFJ Group consolidates variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 for which UFJ Group is a primary beneficiary. UFJ Group will apply the provisions of FIN 46R to variable interest entities created before February 1, 2003 beginning April 1, 2004.
All significant intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated on consolidation.
Investments in affiliated companies in which UFJ Group has the ability to exert significant influence, generally through an ownership interest of 20% to 50% of the voting shares, are accounted for using the equity method.
Assets that the UFJ Group holds in an agency, fiduciary or trust capacity are not assets of the UFJ Group and, accordingly, are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Cash FlowsFor the purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as Cash and due from banks.
Translation of Foreign Currency Financial Statements and Foreign Currency TransactionsFinancial statements of overseas entities are translated into Japanese Yen using the respective year-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange for the respective periods. Capital accounts are translated at historical exchange rate.
Except for overseas entities located in highly inflationary economies, foreign currency translation gains and losses related to the financial statements of overseas entities of the UFJ Group are credited or charged directly to Foreign currency translation adjustments, a component of Accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources.
Foreign currency transactions that are not denominated in the functional currency of the entity in which they arise are recorded at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction. Any resulting foreign currency assets and liabilities are revalued at the spot exchange rates at the year end. Revaluation gains and losses arising from these assets and liabilities are recorded in the statements of operations in Foreign exchange gains (losses)net as appropriate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
Repurchase Agreements, Securities Lending and Other Secured Financing TransactionsSecurities sold with agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements), securities purchased with agreements to resell (reverse repurchase agreements) and securities lending and borrowing transactions are accounted for as sales of securities with related forward repurchase commitments or purchases of securities with related forward reverse repurchase commitments, if they meet the relevant conditions for the surrender of control as provided by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125. If the conditions are not met, the transactions are treated as secured financing or lending, and are carried at the amount the securities will be resold or repurchased, including accrued interest. Interest earned on reverse repurchase agreements and interest incurred on repurchase agreements are reported as interest income and expense, respectively.
CollateralFor secured lending transactions, including reverse repurchase agreements, securities borrowing transactions, commercial lending and derivative transactions, the UFJ Group, as a secured party, generally has the right to require counterparties to provide collateral, including letters of credit, cash, securities and other financial assets. For most securities lending transactions, the UFJ Group maintains levels of collateralization governed by daily mark-to-market analysis, and additional collateral may be obtained when considered appropriate to protect the UFJ Group against credit exposure. Financial assets pledged as collateral are generally negotiable financial instruments and are permitted to be sold or repledged by secured parties. If the UFJ Group sells financial assets received as collateral, it recognizes the proceeds from the sale and its obligation to return the collateral. For secured borrowing transactions, principally repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions and derivative transactions, in which the secured party has the right to sell or repledge financial assets pledged as collateral, the UFJ Group discloses financial assets pledged as collateral in the consolidated balance sheets.
Trading Securities and Securities Sold, Not Yet PurchasedSecurities and money market instruments held in anticipation of short-term market movements are included in Trading securities. Short trading positions in these instruments are included in Trading securities sold, not yet purchased. Trading positions are carried at fair value based on quoted market price, when available, on the consolidated balance sheets and recorded on a trade date basis. When quoted market prices are not available, other pricing methods such as pricing models, quoted prices of instruments with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows are used. Changes in the fair value of trading positions, excluding interest, are recognized currently in Trading account gains (losses)net.
Investment SecuritiesDebt securities that the UFJ Group does not have the intent and ability to hold to maturity and marketable equity securities, other than those classified as trading securities, are classified as Securities available for sale, and are carried at their fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported on a net-of-tax basis within accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources, which is a component of stockholders equity. Purchases and sales of investment securities are recorded on a trade date basis. Nonmarketable equity securities are stated at cost less other-than-temporary impairments in Other investment securities on the consolidated balance sheets.
Unrealized losses on individual debt and equity securities are charged to the consolidated statements of operations when, in the opinion of management, a decline in estimated fair value below the cost of such securities is other-than-temporary. Such impairment losses are included in Investment securities gainsnet in the consolidated statements of operations. In determining whether a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary, the UFJ Group generally considers factors such as the financial condition of the issuer, the extent of decline in fair value, and the length of period that the decline in fair value below cost has existed. See Note 3 for a further discussion of other-than-temporary impairments. Other-than-temporary declines are reflected as realized losses and are not subsequently reversed.

UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
Premiums and discounts on purchased securities are recognized in interest income and expense as an adjustment to yield. Interest and dividends on investment securities are reported in Interest income. Dividends are recognized when the stockholders right to receive the dividend is established. Gains and losses on disposition of investment securities are computed using the average cost method and are recognized on the trade date.
Derivative Financial InstrumentsThe UFJ Group engages in derivative activities involving swaps, forwards and options, and other types of derivative contracts. Derivatives are used in trading activities to generate trading revenues and fee income for its own account and to respond to the customers financial needs.
Derivatives entered into for trading purposes are carried at fair value and are reported in the consolidated balance sheets as Trading account assets or Trading account liabilities. Estimates of fair value are based on market or broker-dealer quotes when available. Valuation models such as discounted cash flow and pricing models are applied to current market information to estimate fair value when such quotes are not available. The UFJ Group defers trade date gains or losses on derivatives when the fair value of those derivatives is not obtained from a quoted market price, supported by comparison to other observable market transactions, or based upon a valuation technique incorporating observable market data. The fair value of derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty under legally enforceable master netting agreements is presented on a net basis. Changes in the fair value of trading account derivative contracts, including interest, are recognized currently in Foreign exchange gains (losses)net with respect to foreign exchange contracts and in Trading account gains (losses)net with respect to interest rate contracts and other types of contracts.
Derivative features embedded in non-derivative host contracts that are not clearly and closely related to the host contracts and that meet the definition of derivatives are separated from the host contracts and measured at fair value unless the contracts containing the derivative features are measured at fair value in their entirety through the consolidated statements of operations. Changes in the fair value of these embedded derivatives are recognized in Trading account gains (losses)net.
Derivatives are also used for asset and liability management to manage exposures to fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates arising from mismatches of asset and liability positions, however the UFJ Group has not adopted hedge accounting for these derivatives. Accordingly, all derivatives used for risk management purposes are marked to market and changes in fair value are reflected in Trading account gains (losses)-net in the consolidated statements of operations.
LoansLoans are carried at the principal amount outstanding, adjusted for unearned income and deferred net nonrefundable loan fees and costs. Loans held and intended for dispositions or sales are transferred to the held-for-sale classification and carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value generally on an individual loan basis. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized over the contractual life of the loan as an adjustment to yield. Interest income on loans that are not on non-accrual status is accrued and credited to Interest income as it is earned. Unearned income and discounts or premiums on purchased loans are deferred and recognized over the life of the loan as an adjustment to yield.
Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the UFJ Group will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of
F-108
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrowers prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate, the loans observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in the opinion of management, substantial doubt exists as to the full and timely collection of either principal or interest, or generally when principal or interest is contractually past due one month or more. In addition, the amortization of net deferred loan fees is suspended when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, interest already accrued but not received is reversed against interest income. Cash receipts on non-accrual loans, for which the ultimate collectibility of principal is doubtful, are applied as principal reductions; otherwise, such collections are credited to income.
A non-accrual loan, other than under troubled debt restructuring, is restored to accrual status when interest and principal payments are current and management expects that the borrower will make future contractual payments as scheduled. All loans under troubled debt restructuring are brought to accrual status when the loan is performing for an adequate period of time under the restructuring agreement.
Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is based upon managements continuing review and evaluation of the loan portfolio and represents managements estimate of probable losses in UFJ Groups loan portfolio. The level of allowance is based on an evaluation of the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio and considers factors such as past loss experience and the financial condition of the borrower. The allowance for loan losses is charged against income as Provision for loan losses. The aggregate allowance for loan losses is increased by the net amounts charged to the provisions for loan losses, net of charge-offs and recoveries as a result of cash collections from charged-off accounts.
A key element relating to the policies and discipline used in determining the allowance for loan losses is the credit rating and the related borrower categorization process. The categorization is based on conditions that may affect the ability of borrowers to service their debt, taking into consideration current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, analyses of relevant industry segments and current trends. In determining the appropriate level of the allowance, the UFJ Group evaluates the probable loss by category of a loan based on its type and characteristics.
UFJ Groups allowance for loan losses consists of (a) specific allowances for specifically identified impaired borrowers, and (b) general allowances for homogeneous pools of commercial and consumer loans, and other loans which are not specifically identified as impaired.
The allowance for loan losses for individual customers represents the impairment allowance determined in accordance with SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. The UFJ Group measures the impairment of a loan, with the exception of homogenous pools of smaller balance commercial and consumer loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment, based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate, or on the loans observable market price, or based on the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, when it is probable that the UFJ Group will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Generally, the UFJ Groups impaired loans include non-accrual loans, restructured loans and other loans specifically identified as impaired.
The allowance for homogeneous pools of smaller balance commercial and consumer loans, and other loans that are not specifically identified as impaired, is established through a process that begins with estimates of
F-109
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
probable losses inherent in the portfolio. These estimates are based upon various analysis including UFJ Groups historical delinquency and loan loss experience, adjusted for qualitative factors, such as the current economic conditions in which UFJ Group operates as well as current lending policies and procedures.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Acceptance and Off-Balance Sheet Credit InstrumentsThe UFJ Group maintains an allowance for credit losses on acceptance and off-balance sheet credit instruments, including commitments to extend credit, a variety of guarantees and standby letters of credit. The allowance is included in Other liabilities. The considerations that UFJ Group uses in its estimate of provisions against off-balance sheet credit risk are similar to those used for on-balance sheet risk. Net changes in the allowance for credit acceptance and off-balance sheet credit instruments are accounted for as Other non-interest expenses.
Premises and EquipmentPremises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Depreciation is charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the terms of the respective leases or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever are shorter. Depreciation of premises and equipment is computed using the straight-line method for buildings and leasehold improvements, and the declining balance method for equipment and furniture, at rates based on the following estimated useful lives:
Years | ||
Buildings |
15 to 50 | |
Equipment and furniture |
2 to 20 | |
Leasehold improvements |
3 to 39 |
Maintenance, repairs and minor improvements are charged to operations as incurred. Major improvements are capitalized. Net gains or losses on disposition of premises and equipment are included in Other non-interest income or expense, as appropriate.
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. For purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment loss, a long-lived asset or assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level with independent and identifiable cash flows. Assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less estimated cost to sell.
Asset retirement obligations are recorded in Other liabilities with a corresponding increase in leasehold improvements. The amounts represent the present value of expected future cash flows associated with returning certain leased properties to original condition. The difference between the gross and present value of expected future cash flows is accreted over the life of the related leases as an interest expense.
Other Real Estate OwnedReal estate assets acquired in full or partial satisfaction of debt are recorded and carried at fair value less cost to sell. Other real estate owned assets held for sale are carried at cost less depreciation after one year. An impairment assessment is made where there is an indication that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
GoodwillThe UFJ Group reports the excess of the cost of investments in subsidiaries over its share of the fair value of net assets at the date of acquisition as Goodwill. Goodwill related to investments in equity method

UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
investees is included in Other investment securities. On April 1, 2002, the UFJ Group adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142), which provides that goodwill acquired in a business combination should not be amortized but is subject to an annual impairment test. Goodwill is recorded at a designated reporting unit level for the purpose of assessing impairment. A reporting unit is an operating segment, or an identified business unit one level below an operating segment. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.
Intangible assetsIntangible assets, including core deposit intangibles, customer relationships, software and other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives unless they have indefinite useful lives. Amortization for intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method at rates principally based on the following estimated useful lives:
Years | ||
Core deposits |
10 | |
Customer relationships |
10 to 23 | |
Information technology and software |
5 | |
Other |
10 |
Upon the adoption of SFAS 142, intangible assets having indefinite useful lives, primarily certain trade names, are not amortized but are subject to annual impairment tests. An impairment exists if the carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value. For other intangible assets subject to amortization, an impairment is recognized if the carrying amount is not recoverable and the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the intangible asset.
The UFJ Group capitalizes certain costs associated with the acquisition or development of internal-use software. Costs subject to capitalization are salaries and employee benefits for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to the internal-use computer software project, to the extent of time spent directly on the project. Once the software is ready for its intended use, the UFJ Group begins to amortize capitalized costs on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of five years.
Accrued Severance and Pension LiabilitiesThe UFJ Group offers severance indemnity plans as well as certain annuity benefits to its employees. The liabilities related to the defined benefit plans are computed and recognized using an actuarial appraisal approach known as the projected unit credit method. Unrecognized net gains and losses that arise from differences between actual experiences and assumptions are amortized over the average remaining service period of participating employees if it exceeds the corridor, which is defined as the greater of 10% of plan assets or projected benefit obligation. An excess of the accumulated benefit obligation over the liability recognized in the consolidated balance sheets is accrued as the minimum liability, and a corresponding intangible asset is recognized up to the amount equal to the prior service cost. To the extent that the minimum liability exceeds the intangible asset, it is recognized as a reduction of stockholders equity. The cost of the plans is charged to Salaries and employee benefits. The UFJ Group uses a March 31 measurement date.
Long-Term DebtPremiums, discounts and issuance costs of long-term debt are amortized based on the interest method over the term of the long-term debt.
Obligations under GuaranteesThe UFJ Group provides customers with a variety of guarantees and similar arrangements, including standby letters of credit, financial and performance guarantees, credit protection and liquidity facilities. At the inception of the contract, UFJ Group records fees received or receivable as a
F-111

liability, which approximates the market value of the contract, which is then recognized within Fees and commissions ratably over the guarantee period.
Fees and CommissionsRevenue recognition of major components of fees and commissions is as follows:
· | Fees on funds transfer and collection services and fees from investment banking services are recognized as revenue when the related services are performed. |
· | Fees from trade-related financing services are recognized over the period of the financing. |
· | Trust fees are recognized on an accrual basis, based on the volume of trust assets under management and/or the operating performance for the accounting period of each trust account. With respect to trust accounts with guarantee of trust principal, trust fees are determined based on the profits earned by individual trust accounts during the trust accounting period, less deductions, including provision for reserve, impairment for individual investments and dividends paid to beneficiary certificate holders. |
· | Annual fees and royalty and other service charges related to the credit card business are recorded on a straight-line basis as services are provided. |
· | Interchange income from the credit card business is recognized as services are provided. |
· | Service charges on deposit accounts and fees and commissions from other services are generally recognized over the period that the service is provided. |
· | Fees on guarantees are recognized over the contractual periods of the respective guarantees. |
Income TaxesThe provision for income taxes is comprised of the provision for income taxes currently payable and the provision for deferred income taxes, determined using the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (1) temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and (2) operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is recognized for any portion of the deferred tax assets when it is considered more likely than not that it will not be realized. The provision for deferred taxes is based on the change in the net deferred tax asset or liability from period to period.
Earnings (Loss) per Common ShareBasic earnings per share (EPS) excludes dilutive effects of potential common stock and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, while diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common stocks that were outstanding during the period. Income available to common stockholders excludes amounts paid as dividends on preferred stock and accretion of discounts arising from beneficial conversion features of preferred stock. See Note 19 for the computation of basic and diluted EPS and Note 16 for information on preferred stock dividends and beneficial conversion features.
Treasury Stock UFJ Holdings presents its treasury stock as a reduction of stockholders equity on the consolidated balance sheets at cost and accounts for treasury stock transactions under an average cost method. Any net gains from sales of treasury stocks are classified in capital surplus. Any losses on treasury stock sales in the excess of gains recognized from previous treasury stock sales are charged to accumulated deficit.
Accumulated Other Changes in Equity from Nonowner Sources The UFJ Groups Accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources comprises unrealized gains and losses on investment securities available for sale, minimum pension liability and foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented, net of related income tax effects, in the consolidated statements of changes in equity from nonowner sources.

Accounting Changes
Accounting pronouncements adopted within the periods presented include:
Variable Interest EntitiesIn January 2003 the FASB issued FIN 46, as described above under consolidation, and in December 2003, the FASB issued a revised version, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46R). UFJ Group adopted FIN 46 with respect to entities created after January 31, 2003 effective February 1, 2003 and has consolidated any such entities for which it is the primary beneficiary. The UFJ Group is required to adopt FIN 46R with respect to entities created before February 1, 2003 in its interim reporting period beginning April 1, 2004. See Note 22 for information regarding variable interest entities in which UFJ Group has an interest.
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations Effective April 1, 2003, the UFJ Group adopted SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 addresses the financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 applies to the legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or the normal operation of a long-lived asset. A legal obligation is an obligation that a party is required to settle as a result of an existing or enacted law, statute, ordinance, written or oral contract, or by legal construction of a contract under the doctrine of promissory estoppel.
All of UFJ Groups existing asset retirement obligations are associated with commitments to return property subject to operating leases to its original condition upon lease termination. At April 1, 2003, the UFJ Group recorded a ¥19,768 million long-term asset retirement liability, which is included in Other liabilities, and a corresponding increase in leasehold improvements. This amount represents the present value of expected future cash flows associated with returning UFJ Groups leased properties to their original condition. The difference between the gross and present value of expected future cash flows is accreted over the life of the related leases as interest expense. Adoption of SFAS No. 143 resulted in a cumulative effect charge to net income at April 1, 2003 of ¥2,959 million. This adjustment represents the cumulative depreciation and accretion that would have been recognized through the date of adoption of SFAS No. 143 had the statement applied to UFJ Groups existing asset retirement obligations at the time they were initially incurred. Additional asset retirement obligations of ¥3,820 million and accretion of ¥165 million were recognized during the year ended March 31, 2004. Accordingly, the asset retirement obligations outstanding at March 31, 2004 were ¥23,753 million.
Disclosure about Pension and Other Postretirement BenefitsIn December 2003, the FASB revised SFAS No. 132 and issued SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003), Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88 and 106 (SFAS No. 132R). SFAS No. 132R revises employers disclosures about pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. SFAS No. 132R requires additional disclosures about assets, obligations, cash flows and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit plans and other postretirement benefit plans. The provisions of SFAS No. 132R are generally effective for financial statements with fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003. The UFJ Group adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 132R and included the required disclosures in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2004.
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment of Investment SecuritiesIn November 2003, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, EITF, reached a consensus on Issue No. 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments (EITF 03-1). EITF 03-1 requires certain additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures in addition to the disclosure already required by SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. The new disclosure has been included in
F-113
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
these consolidated financial statements to the extent applicable. On September 30, 2004, the FASB voted unanimously to delay the effective date of EITF 03-1 measurement provisions. The FASB will be issuing implementation guidance related to the measurement provisions of EITF 03-1. Once issued, the UFJ Group will evaluate the impact of adopting the measurement provisions of EITF 03-1.
Goodwill and Other Intangible AssetsEffective April 1, 2002, the UFJ Group adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill, formerly amortized over its useful life, no longer be amortized but be tested for impairment at least annually. Further, SFAS No. 142 requires that intangible assets that have finite useful lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives while intangible assets with indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but are subject to impairment testing at least annually.
The UFJ Group performed the required transitional impairment tests of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives upon adoption of SFAS No. 142. The initial adoption resulted in a cumulative effect charge to earnings of ¥62 billion.
Derivative Financial InstrumentsIn April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. In particular, SFAS No. 149 (1) clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristics of a derivative, (2) clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component that warrants special reporting in the statement of cash flows, (3) amends the definition of underlyings, one of three characteristics of derivatives, to include the occurrence or non-occurrence of a specified event such as scheduled payments under a contract and (4) amends certain other existing pronouncements, in particular, those related to the scope of instruments that are subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have a material impact on the UFJ Groups financial position or results of operations.
Future Application of Accounting Pronouncements
Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and EquityIn May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. On November 7, 2003, FASB Staff Position No. 150-3, Effective Date, Disclosures, and Transition for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests under FASB Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity, delayed the effective date of certain provisions of SFAS No. 150 for certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests.
SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective for UFJ Groups interim reporting period beginning April 1, 2004. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 will not impact UFJ Groups classification of liabilities and equities.
Transfer to the Japanese Government of the Substitutional Portion of Employee Pension Fund LiabilitiesIn January 2003, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 03-2, Accounting for the Transfer to the Japanese Government of the Substitutional Portion of Employee Pension Fund Liabilities, (EITF 03-2). EITF 03-2 addresses the issue of how an employer should account for the separation of the substitutional portion of the benefit obligation of an Employees Pension Fund from the corporation portion, and the transfer of the obligation and related plan assets to the Japanese government. Pursuant to the consensus reached under EITF 03-2, the
F-114
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
entire separation process is required to be accounted for upon completion of the transfer to the government of the substitutional portion as the culmination of a series of steps in a single settlement transaction. The difference between the obligation settled and the assets transferred to the government is accounted for as a subsidy from the government separately from the gain or loss recognized on the settlement. See Note 14 for additional discussion on the transfer of the substitutional portion.
Loans and Debt Securities Acquired in a TransferIn December 2003, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 03-3, Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer (SOP 03-3), which supersedes AICPA Practice Bulletin 6, Amortization of Discounts on Certain Acquired Loans and addresses accounting for differences between contractual cash flows and cash flows expected to be collected from an investors initial investment in loans or debt securities acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable, at least, in part, to credit quality. SOP 03-3 limits accretable yield to the excess of the investors estimate of undiscounted cash flows over the investors initial investment in the loan and prohibits the recognition of the non-accretable difference. Under SOP 03-3, subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be collected generally should be recognized prospectively through adjustment of the loans yield over its remaining life while any decreases in such cash flows should be recognized as impairments. SOP 03-3 also provides guidance with regard to presentation and disclosures.
SOP 03-3 is effective for loans and debt securities acquired by the UFJ Group in its fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 and thereafter. The UFJ Group has not completed an assessment of the impact of SOP 03-3 on its financial position or results of operations.
Exchanges of Nonmonetary AssetsIn December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assetsan amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, The guidance in Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS No. 153 amends APB Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange.
SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005, with earlier adoption permitted. The UFJ Group has not completed the study of what effect SFAS No. 153 will have on its financial position and results of operations. The UFJ Group expects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 153 in its fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

The UFJ Group has determined that unrealized losses on available for sale securities at March 31, 2004 are temporary, based on its ability and intent to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for anticipated recovery in fair value, and the results of its review conducted to identify and evaluate investments that have indications of possible impairments. The UFJ Groups review included consideration of the following criteria:
· | The length of time that fair value of the investment has been below costThe UFJ Group generally deems a continuous decline of fair value below cost for six months or more to be other-than-temporary. |
Gross unrealized losses of less than 12 months generally arise from rising interest rates, widening credit spreads and credit quality of the underlying collateral. Based on expected cash flow analysis, such unrealized losses have been determined to be temporary.
· | The extent to which the fair value of investments has been below cost as of the end of the reporting periodThe UFJ Groups investment portfolio is exposed to volatile prices affected by many factors including investors perspectives as to future economic factors and the issuers performance, as well as cyclical market price fluctuations due to changes in market interest rates, foreign exchange rates and changes in credit spreads. The UFJ Group generally deems a decline of fair value below cost of 20% or more as a critical indicator of an other-than-temporary decline in fair value. |
· | The financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuerThe UFJ Group considers the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer primarily based on the credit standing of the issuers as determined by the UFJ Groups credit rating system. |
Any deterioration in economic conditions or specific situations of the issuers of the securities could adversely affect the fair value of securities held by the UFJ Group.
Banks Shareholdings Purchase Corporation
Under a law forbidding banks from holding marketable equity securities in excess of their Tier I capital after September 30, 2006, the Banks Shareholdings Purchase Corporation (BSPC) was established in January 2002 in order to soften the impact on the stock market of sales of cross-shareholdings. BSPC began accepting share offers from financial institutions on February 15, 2002. It has been funded by financial institutions, including UFJ Bank and UFJ Trust, which made initial contributions of ¥2,000 million (preferred contributions) that are classified as available for sale debt securities. BSPC will be disbanded when it sells all shares that it purchased from financial institutions, or by March 31, 2017 at the latest. UFJ Bank and UFJ Trust have sold equity securities to BSPCs Special Account.
Prior to August 2003, 8% of the proceeds from equity securities sold to the Special Account were withheld by the BSPC as subordinated contributions by the selling financial institutions. Subsequent to August 2003, no amounts have been withheld. As a result of the sales of securities during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2003 and 2004, the UFJ Group recorded total subordinated contributions of ¥3,192 million and ¥353 million, respectively, to the Special Account that are classified as available for sale debt securities.
Funding, in addition to the subordinated contributions, is provided from borrowings guaranteed by the Japanese government with a limit of ¥2 trillion. Upon disbanding the BSPC, the cumulative net loss, if any, of the BSPC will be compensated in the following order: subordinated contributions, preferred contributions and government acting as a guarantor. The cumulative net gain, if any, will be repaid in the following order: preferred contributions, subordinated contributions, pro rata basis to the preferred or subordinated contributions up to twice the contributions and Japanese government for more than twice the contributions. However, the cumulative net loss or gain cannot be finalized and none of the contributions will be repaid until upon disbanding

the BSPC. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, the UFJ Group recorded a total impairment loss of ¥6,955 million on its preferred and subordinated contributions based on the cumulative net loss of the BSPC at March 31, 2003 as if the BSPC has been disbanded at the time.
For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2003 and 2004, the UFJ Group sold to the Special Account equity securities with aggregated market values of ¥39,905 million and ¥410,277 million, and recognized gains of ¥7,044 million and ¥180,174 million, respectively, which are included in Trading account gains (losses) - net and Investment securities gains - net in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Bank of Japan
The Bank of Japan began purchasing marketable equity securities at fair value from banks, including UFJ Bank and UFJ Trust, from November 2002, aiming to enhance the stability of the Japanese financial system by reducing the amount of marketable equity securities on the balance sheets of banks. Transfers of securities to The Bank of Japan are sales transactions with no transferors continuing involvement. UFJ Bank and UFJ Trust sold marketable equity securities to The Bank of Japan with aggregate market values of ¥338,967 million and ¥76,465 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively.
Pension Trusts
UFJ Bank and UFJ Trust sponsor pension trusts designated to provide annuity benefits and lump sum severance indemnity plans to the plan participants. UFJ Bank and UFJ Trust contributed marketable equity securities that are classified as available for sale to the pension trusts with aggregate market values of ¥26,700 million and ¥116,697 million, and recognized gains of ¥16,292 million and ¥40,204 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively, which are included in Investment securities gainsnet in the consolidated statements of operations.

Non-accrual and restructured loans are ¥7,146.9 billion and ¥5,065.1 billion at March 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively. Had interest on these loans been accrued at the original terms of agreement, gross interest income on such loans for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2003 and 2004 would have been approximately ¥175.9 billion and ¥126.8 billion, respectively, of which approximately ¥109.7 billion and ¥77.6 billion, respectively, is included in interest income on loans in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more are ¥22.9 billion and ¥19.8 billion at March 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2003 and 2004, the UFJ Group recognized interest income of approximately ¥107.3 billion and ¥75.5 billion, respectively, on impaired loans. Cash receipts on non-accrual loans, for which the ultimate collectibility of principal is doubtful, are applied to principal reductions; otherwise, such collections are credited to income. Interest income on accruing impaired loans, including restructured loans, was recognized on an accrual basis to the extent that the collectibility of principal was reasonably certain based on managements assessment.
Lease Receivables
As part of its financing activities, the UFJ Group enters into leasing arrangements with customers. The UFJ Groups leasing operations are performed through leasing subsidiaries and consist principally of direct financing leases involving various types of data processing equipment, office equipment and factory equipment.

Related Party Loans
In some cases, the banking subsidiaries of UFJ Holdings make loans to related parties in the course of their normal commercial banking business. At March 31, 2003 and 2004, outstanding loans to related parties were ¥669,012 million and ¥742,711 million, respectively.
These related party loans were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral requirements, as were generally prevailing for unrelated borrowers at the date these loans were made. For the fiscal years ended and at March 31, 2003 and 2004, there are no loans to related parties that have been charged-off or that are impaired.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of customers are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet their contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. The UFJ Group manages its portfolio of financial instruments to achieve a level of diversification amongst industries and geographies. Historically it has been the principal provider of credit to certain large borrowers and the levels of collateral associated with those loans have varied. In addition during recent years it has also made loans to certain companies which have had significant exposures to the Japanese real estate market. The UFJ Group has put into place a series of measures to reduce its exposure to these large borrowers and to increase the level diversification of its portfolio.
Sales of Loans
The UFJ Group originates loans to various types of corporate and individual customers in Japan and overseas in the normal course of its business. In order to improve the quality of its loan portfolio, the UFJ Group has disposed of certain loans. Most of these loans were disposed of by sales to third parties and by entering into loan participation transactions without retaining the credit risk. The loan participation transactions did not meet the relevant conditions for sales accounting established in accordance with SFAS No. 140. Hence, these transactions are accounted for as collateralized borrowing transactions and not considered as loans held-for-sale. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2003 and 2004, the losses on sales of loans were ¥49.7 billion and ¥8.9 billion, respectively.
Loan Securitization
The UFJ Group had no significant transfers of loans under securitization transactions accounted for as sales for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2003 and 2004 and did not retain any significant interests associated with loans transferred in securitizations at March 31, 2003 and 2004.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
In March 2002, UFJ Bank entrusted its Tokyo headquarters, comprising land and building, to UFJ Trust under a noncancellable lease agreement for a 15 year period. At the same time, UFJ Bank sold the beneficiary trust right to a special purpose entity, which leased back the land and building to UFJ Bank. UFJ Bank accounted for this transaction as a financing arrangement, and recorded the total proceeds of ¥89,800 million as a financing obligation in addition to continuing to recognize the land and building. Under the lease agreement, UFJ Bank made non-interest-bearing deposits of ¥6,960 million with the buyer-lessor in March 2002. The lease payments are ¥6,960 million per year.
At March 31, 2003 and 2004, the financing obligation is ¥89,800 million and total annual rental payments amounted to ¥6,960 million for the years then ended.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, the UFJ Group recognized ¥3,237 million of impairment losses for long-lived assets, primarily domestic real estate assets formerly used for domestic banking operations that are no longer used and assets that are being used but are not generating sufficient cash flows to recover their carrying amount. In addition, ¥1,013 million and ¥4,123 million of impairment losses were recognized for real estate previously held for use now held for sale, for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively. These losses are included in Other non-interest expenses. In computing the amount of impairment losses, fair value is determined primarily based on market prices, if available, or the estimated fair value based on an appraisal.
7. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
As discussed in Note 1, goodwill is primarily the result of Sanwa Banks acquisition of Tokai Bank and Toyo Trust at April 2, 2001. The business combination was accounted for under the purchase method. The aggregate purchase price for Tokai Bank and Toyo Trust was ¥2,931 billion including common and preferred stock. Goodwill and intangible assets of approximately ¥2,731 billion and ¥515 billion, respectively, were recorded. Prior to adoption of SFAS No. 142, goodwill was being amortized over 40 years.

In September 2002, UFJ Group acquired an additional 59.82% interest in UFJ Card Co., Ltd., a credit card company, for ¥13,313 million, which was paid in cash.
In June 2002, UFJ Group acquired an additional 34.36% of the outstanding stock of Tsubasa Securities Co., Ltd. (Tsubasa Securities), a broker dealer affiliate of UFJ Group, through the merger of Tsubasa Securities with UFJ Capital Markets Securities Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of UFJ Holdings. The combined company was subsequently renamed UFJ Tsubasa Securities Co., Ltd. The additional interest acquired in Tsubasa Securities was valued at ¥21,970 million based on the fair value of Tsubasa Securities publicly traded stock. The purchase price was at a discount to Tsubasa Securities net assets and an extraordinary gain of ¥12,319 million was recorded.
On April 1, 2002, UFJ Group adopted SFAS No. 142, which requires companies to cease amortizing goodwill and intangible assets which have indefinite useful lives. SFAS No. 142 also requires that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets be reviewed for impairment upon adoption and annually thereafter, or more often if events or circumstances warrant. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill impairment may exist if the carrying value of the reporting unit to which it is allocated exceeds its estimated fair value.
Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, UFJ Group reviewed the useful lives of its amortizable intangible assets primarily core deposits, trust customer relationships and capitalized software and determined that they remained appropriate. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, UFJ Group performed a transitional impairment test of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives as of April 1, 2002. UFJ Group identified eight reporting units. Goodwill was allocated to four of these reporting units on a relative fair value basis. Reporting units that were non-revenue producing or that were not expected to benefit significantly from the synergies of the business combinations were not allocated goodwill. In addition, insignificant reporting units were not allocated goodwill. The first step of the transitional test of impairment was performed by comparing the fair value of its reporting units to the carrying values of the reporting units to which goodwill was assigned.
If potential impairment of goodwill was indicated under the first step, step two for determining the amount of impairment of goodwill was performed. The second step requires UFJ Group to estimate the implied fair value of goodwill for each reporting unit by subtracting the fair value of the reporting units assets, including any unrecognized intangibles, from the total fair value of the reporting unit. The excess is deemed the implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of the goodwill was then compared to the carrying amount of goodwill for the reporting unit. Based on this analysis, UFJ Group recorded a charge for the cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 142 of ¥62 billion in its trust reporting unit.
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, UFJ Holdings continues to perform impairment tests on the remaining goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets on an annual basis, or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate the assets may be impaired. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, UFJ Group recorded an impairment charge of ¥194 billion in its trust reporting unit.

Income taxes in Japan applicable to the UFJ Group are imposed by the national, prefectural and municipal governments, and in the aggregate, resulted in a normal effective statutory rate of approximately 42.0% and 42.0% for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively. It should be noted that the largest entity within the UFJ Group, UFJ Bank, had a normal effective statutory rate of approximately 39.2% and 39.2% for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively. Foreign subsidiaries are subject to income taxes of the countries in which they operate.
In March 2003, the Japanese government passed an amendment to the local tax law and in October 2003 the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the Osaka Prefectural Government enacted an additional surcharge tax. The effect of these amendments will be to adjust the normal effective statutory tax rate for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2005 to approximately 40.6%. The newly enacted rates are used in calculating the future expected tax effects of temporary differences as of March 31, 2003 and 2004 that are expected to reverse during and subsequent to the fiscal year ending March 31, 2005. The change in tax rate, used in calculating the future expected tax effects of temporary differences, resulted in a decrease of ¥77,925 million in consolidated income tax expense before valuation allowance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 and of ¥23,531 million in consolidated income tax expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. After the valuation allowance, the net change in tax rate used in calculating the future expected tax effects of temporary differences, resulted in a decrease of ¥408 million and ¥504 million in consolidated income tax expense for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively.
In October 2003, the UFJ Group received notification of a tax refund of ¥25.7 billion relating to tax assessments previously made by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the Osaka Prefectural Government in relation to the fiscal years ended March 31, 2001 and 2002.

A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion of or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax asset depends on the ability to generate sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in the future at the individual company level. UFJ Group has provided a valuation allowance for the major part of the deferred tax asset attributable to the UFJ Groups subsidiaries with operating loss carryforwards and existing deductible temporary differences, primarily due to the existence of high levels of accumulated deficits, taxable losses and credit costs incurred in the past years for domestic subsidiaries.

UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
The net change in the valuation allowance for the deferred income tax assets was a decrease of ¥545,084 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, which primarily reflected a decrease in such deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards of these subsidiaries. The reduction in the valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset that existed at the acquisition date of Tokai Bank and Toyo Trust was applied to reduce goodwill by the amount of ¥86,532 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.
At March 31, 2004, the UFJ Group had operating loss carryforwards of ¥1,984,673 million and no tax credit carryforwards for tax purposes. Such carryforwards, if not utilized, are scheduled to expire as follows:

In addition, at March 31, 2004, the UFJ Group has pledged certain non-cash financial assets, aggregating ¥3,945,947 million as collateral for acting as a collection agent of public funds, for settlement of exchange at The Bank of Japan and Tokyo Bankers Association, for derivative transactions and for certain other purposes. Such assets primarily include loans and securities. The securities pledged consist principally of Japanese national government and Japanese government agency bonds.
Under Japanese law, Japanese banks are required to maintain certain minimum reserves on deposit with The Bank of Japan based on the amount of deposit balances and certain other factors. There are similar reserve deposit requirements for foreign offices engaged in banking businesses in foreign countries. At March 31, 2003 and 2004, the reserve funds maintained by the UFJ Group, which are included in Cash and due from banks and Interest-earning deposits in other banks, are ¥2,348,209 million and ¥2,381,921 million, respectively.
Collateral
The UFJ Group both accepts and pledges financial assets as collateral for transactions. Such transactions typically include commercial loans, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, security lending transactions, call money and derivatives transactions, while eligible collateral includes, marketable debt and equity securities, trade receivables and certificates of deposit.
Secured parties, including creditors and counterparties to certain transactions, may sell or re-pledge financial assets provided as collateral but their ability to do so differs according to interpretations of specific provisions of applicable statutes, contracts and market practices since certain contracts do not explicitly define the secured partys right to sell or re-pledge collateral. The value of assets pledged is reported on the face of the consolidated balance sheet only when the UFJ Group determines, based on the information available to it, that a secured party is permitted to sell or re-pledge, either by contract or custom, the collateral it received.
At March 31, 2004, the UFJ Group pledged assets with a fair value of ¥10,637,477 million as collateral that it has determined may not be sold or re-pledged by the secured parties.
Certain banking subsidiaries accept collateral for commercial loans and other banking transactions under standardized agreements with customers which stipulate that customers may be required to provide collateral or guarantees. Applicable legislation in Japan generally permits collateral to be negotiated or transferred unless otherwise prohibited by contract or other statutes. Nevertheless, in common with market practice in Japan, the UFJ Group does not sell or re-pledge collateral accepted in connection with commercial loans unless a debtor defaults or other specified credit events occur.
Derivative agreements commonly used in the marketplace do not prohibit a secured partys disposition of financial assets received as collateral. Similarly, in reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowing transactions, assets accepted as collateral may be sold or re-pledged.
F-131
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
At March 31, 2004, the fair value of the collateral accepted by the UFJ Group that is permitted to be sold or re-pledged was approximately ¥3,240,666 million, of which approximately ¥2,921,419 million was sold or re-pledged.
10. DEPOSITS
The balances of time deposits, including certificates of deposit (CDs), issued in amounts of ¥10 million (approximately US$96 thousand at the Federal Reserve Bank of New Yorks noon buying rate on March 31, 2004) or more with respect to domestic deposits and issued in amounts of US$100,000 or more with respect to foreign deposits are ¥14,817,984 million and ¥1,401,607 million, respectively, at March 31, 2003, and ¥15,046,435 million and ¥1,728,760 million, respectively, at March 31, 2004.

UFJ Trust holds assets on behalf of its customers in an agent, fiduciary or trust capacity. Such trust account assets are not the UFJ Groups proprietary assets and are managed and accounted for separately. However, excess cash funds of individual trust accounts are often placed with UFJ Trust, which manages the funds together with its own funds in its proprietary account. Due to trust account reflects a temporary placement of the excess funds from individual trust accounts. In view of the UFJ Groups funding, Due to trust account is similar to short-term funding, including demand deposits and other overnight funds purchased. The balance changes in

14. SEVERANCE INDEMNITIES AND PENSION PLANS
Substantially all of the employees of UFJ Holdings are seconded by UFJ Bank and UFJ Trust. These employees are covered by the severance indemnity and annuity plans offered by each respective employer as discussed below.
The employees of UFJ Bank, UFJ Trust and certain other domestic subsidiaries are covered under lump-sum severance indemnity plans. Under the lump-sum severance indemnity plans, employees receive, at the time of termination of their employment either voluntarily or at contractual retirement age, benefit payments in the form of lump-sum cash payment. Employees with service of one year or more are eligible for the severance indemnity.
In addition to the lump-sum severance indemnities, UFJ Bank, UFJ Trust and certain other domestic subsidiaries offer funded annuity plans to their retiring employees. The annuity plans are established and administered pursuant to the Japanese Welfare Pension Insurance Law (JWPIL). Under the JWPIL, employers with 5 or more full-time employees are required to participate in the Welfare Pension, which is substantially similar to Social Security in the United States. Employers who participate in the Welfare Pension may, at their discretion, enhance annuity benefits by establishing additional plans known as Employees Pension Funds (EPF). The EPF generally comprises two parts, the corporate portion and the substitutional portion. The benefits paid from the substitutional portion are based on a standard remuneration table set forth by the JWPIL, whereas the benefits paid from the corporate portion is set forth by the employers that sponsor the plans or the EPF. The benefits provided by the corporate portion of the EPFs sponsored by the UFJ Group are generally based on the length of service and remuneration at the time of termination, except for UFJ Bank, which adopted a new plan formula in April 2002 based on points that employees accumulate over their careers, and determined based on job titles and certain professional certifications.
UFJ Trust and certain other domestic subsidiaries also offer retirement benefits under tax qualified pension plans, which are funded contributory defined annuity plans. These plans generally cover employees with a service period of 5 years or more, and the annuity benefits vest with the employees with a service period of 15 years or more. The plan provides lifetime annuity benefits with guaranteed annuity payment for 15 years commencing in the month following the month an eligible employee reaches age 60. The amount of annuity benefits is determined based on points that employees accumulate over their careers.

UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
In June 2001, the JWPIL was amended to permit an employer to separate the substitutional portion and transfer the obligation and related assets to the government. In September 2002, UFJ Bank obtained an approval of exemption from the obligation for benefits related to future employee service related to the substitutional portion of its EPF, and started to make pension insurance payments to the government. UFJ Bank received a final approval for separation from the government in November 2004. In accordance with the provisions of EITF 03-2, the entire separation process is accounted for as a settlement upon completion of the transfer to the government of the substitutional portion of the benefit obligation and related plan assets, which happened immediately after the final approval was granted by the government. The benefit obligation and related plan assets pertaining to UFJ Banks substitutional portion at March 31, 2004 amounted to ¥211,099 million and ¥123,863 million, respectively.

¥25,193 million, ¥23,795 million and ¥2,758 million, respectively. The change in the amount included within other changes in equity from nonowner sources for the period arising from the additional minimum pension liability recognized is an increase of ¥303,681 million and a decrease of ¥307,092 million for the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively.
During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2003 and 2004, the UFJ Group contributed marketable equity securities with fair value totaling ¥26,700 million and ¥116,697 million, respectively, to the pension trusts designated to pay annuity benefits and lump sum severance indemnities and recognized a gain of ¥16,292 million and ¥40,204 million, respectively.
The UFJ Group expects to contribute ¥33,800 million to the severance indemnity and annuity plans during the year ending March 31, 2005.
During the year ended March 31, 2003 and 2004, certain subsidiaries of UFJ Holdings instituted early retirement plans under which employees accepting early retirement were entitled to receive benefits in addition to regular retirement benefits. The expense recognized in connection with such additional benefits amounted to ¥14,069 million and ¥10,734 million for the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively.
Weighted-average actuarial assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost for the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2004 and net obligations at March 31, 2003 and 2004 are as follows:
2003 |
2004 |

Expected rate of return on plan assets |
3.53 | 2.57 |
The UFJ Group determines its assumptions for the expected rate of return on plan assets using a forward-looking building block approach. In the forward-looking building block approach, the rate of return for each component of the plan assets is derived using long-term historical performance and forward-looking return expectations based on future prospects of the economy and capital markets. The expected rate of return on plan assets is the average of the expected rates of return that is weighted by portfolio allocation.
The primary objective of the UFJ Groups investment policy is to maximize return for an appropriate level of risk the UFJ Group can assume to ensure that, combined with the UFJ Groups contributions, funds will be available to cover future benefit payments to the plan participants.

In addition to the EPF assets above, UFJ Bank sponsors pension trusts designated to provide annuity benefits and lump sum severance indemnities to the plan participants, which almost entirely comprise Japanese equity securities.
The general account of life insurance companies is a product offered by life insurers with a guaranteed rate of return, where funds are pooled and invested in securities with relatively low market risk such as Japanese government bonds.
The plan assets belonging to the substitutional portion of the EPF are invested in risk-free assets to avoid potential depreciation in value and incurrence of a loss at the time of the transfer to the government. At March 31, 2003, such plan assets were included in the general account of life insurance companies. The general account of life insurance companies was subsequently cancelled and the fund has been reallocated to short-term assets at March 31, 2004.
Japanese equity securities include the UFJ Groups common stock in the amounts of ¥187 million and ¥782 million at March 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

The original implementation date of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions (SFAS No. 87), was the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 1988 for non-US plans. Due to the unavailability of data, however, the UFJ Group adopted SFAS No. 87 from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 for the purpose of the consolidated financial statements. Because the expected future service period of the existing employees as at the adoption date was approximately 12 years assuming that SFAS No. 87 had been adopted at its original implementation date, the net transition obligation of ¥252,598 million was charged directly to equity in its entirety as at March 31, 2002.

Investments in affiliated companies are accounted for using the equity method. Among the investments are affiliated companies which are listed companies. The investment in such companies is carried at ¥41,782 million and ¥49,616 million, respectively, at March 31, 2003 and 2004. The corresponding aggregated market values for such listed affiliated companies are ¥44,002 million and ¥62,138 million as at March 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively.
At March 31, 2003 and 2004, the valuation allowance to reduce the carrying amounts of other real estate owned, which represents assets acquired through foreclosure, to their estimated fair value less estimated cost to sell is ¥1,589 million and ¥1,272 million, respectively. The valuation allowance decreased by ¥671 million and ¥317 million, respectively, during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2003 and 2004.
Government-led Loan Restructuring Program
Under the legislation enacted by the Japanese Diet in June 1996, which incorporates the restructuring program for the loans of seven failed housing-loan companies (the Jusen), the Deposit Insurance Corporation (DIC) established the Housing Loan Corporation (HLAC) to collect and dispose of loans of the liquidated Jusen. In 1999, HLAC merged with the Resolution and Collection Bank Limited to create the Resolution and Collection Corporation (RCC), which is wholly owned by the DIC.
Financial institutions, including the UFJ Group, waived repayment of substantial amounts of loans to the Jusen and transferred the remaining balances to HLAC. Financial institutions were requested to make loans to HLAC to finance its collection activities, and in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, the UFJ Group made loans
F-142
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
to HLAC of ¥295,626 million with an original maturity term of 15 years, which were included in the loan portfolio at March 31, 2003 and 2004. The 15-year term loans to HLAC, which are guaranteed by the DIC under the legislation and loan agreements, mature in 2011 and earn interest at TIBOR (Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate) plus 0.125%.
Under this restructuring program, a Financial Stabilization Fund (the Special Fund) was established within the DIC, and the Bank of Japan and other financial institutions established another fund (the New Fund). These funds are principally invested in Japanese government bonds. The UFJ Group made non-interest-earning deposits of ¥214,023 million with the Special Fund and the New Fund in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997. The deposit balances at March 31, 2003 and 2004, which are included in Other assets, are ¥169,884 million and ¥174,582 million, respectively, reflecting a present value discount and subsequent amortization of the discount during the period until the expected maturity date. The non-interest-earning deposits with these funds are expected to mature in 15 years from the deposit dates, which coincides with the planned operational lifespan of HLAC.
It is uncertain what losses (so-called stage two loss), if any, may ultimately be incurred by RCC through the collection of the Jusen loans during the 15-year term. If any such losses ultimately occur, the law concerning Reorganizing Specialized Housing Loan Companies (the Jusen Law) states that Japanese government can compensate for half of such losses, and the DIC can cover the remaining half of the losses. The investment income to be earned by the Special Fund and the New Fund during the 15 years is used by the DIC to compensate for a portion of the public funds used for the Jusen restructuring.
In addition, the Jusen Law states that the DIC can use funds held in the general account to eliminate the cumulative losses incurred at the Special Fund up to the amount prescribed in the Jusen Law. The DIC receives insurance premiums from insured banks at a specified percentage of their deposit balances and manages the insurance premiums in the general accounts. The utilization of funds managed in the general account will be determined by the Operating Committee at the DIC and approved by the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance.
At this time management believes all loans and deposits will be collectible according to their respective terms.

The portion of proceeds from the sale of shares that is designated as capital stock is determined by resolution of the Board of Directors of UFJ Holdings; however, at least 50% of the issue price of newly issued shares is required to be designated as capital stock under the Japanese Commercial Code (the Code). Proceeds in excess of amounts designated as capital stock are designated as capital surplus.
Convertible preferred stock contains a beneficial conversion feature if the effective conversion price (either initially or after being reset) for a share of common stock upon conversion is less than the market price of a share of common stock when the preferred stock was issued. UFJ Holdings accounts for the beneficial conversion features of its preferred stock under the recognition and measurement principles of EITF Issue No. 98-5 Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversions Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios and EITF Issue No. 00-27 Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments.
Beneficial conversion feature discounts are measured as the excess of the market price of a share of common stock when the preferred stock is issued over the initial or reset preferred stock conversion price per share of common stock. Beneficial conversion feature discounts are charged to capital surplus when recognized and amortized to accumulated deficit, as non-cash preferred dividends using the effective yield method. Initial beneficial conversion feature discounts are amortized over the period from the issuance date of the preferred stock to the mandatory conversion date. Contingent beneficial conversion feature discounts are recognized when the reset conversion price is determinable and amortized over the period from the conversion price reset date to the mandatory conversion date. Any unamortized beneficial conversion feature discount remaining when preferred stock is converted at the option of the holder before the mandatory conversion date is immediately charged to accumulated deficit as a non-cash preferred dividend.
Significant terms of Preferred stock as of March 31, 2004 consisted of the following:
Class I Preferred stock
Class I preferred stockholders are entitled to receive annual non-cumulative dividends of ¥37,500 per share with priority over common stockholders, and a distribution of ¥3,000,000 per share upon the liquidation of UFJ Holdings.

The conversion price was subject to reset on August 1 of 2001, 2003 and 2004 to the average market price of the common stock for the 30 trading day period beginning 45 trading days prior to each reset date, if the average market price were less than the conversion price prior to the reset, but not less than ¥750,000 per share. All Class I Preferred stock outstanding on August 1, 2005 will be mandatorily converted into shares of common stock at a conversion ratio of ¥3,000,000 divided by the higher of (x) the average market price of the common stock for the 30 trading day period beginning 45 trading days prior to August 1, 2005 and (y) ¥750,000.
The conversion price for Class I Preferred stock was reset on August 1, 2001 to ¥750,000 per share of common stock, giving rise to an aggregate contingent beneficial conversion feature discount of ¥3,200 million, which is being amortized through August 1, 2005.

The Code permits, upon approval of the Board of Directors, the transfer of amounts from the legal capital surplus to the capital stock account.
The Code, as amended effective on October 1, 2001, permits Japanese companies to effect purchases of their own stock pursuant to a resolution by the stockholders at an annual general meeting until the conclusion of the following ordinary general meeting of stockholders, and to hold such stock as its treasury stock indefinitely regardless of purpose. However, the Code requires the amount of treasury stock purchased be within the amount of retained earnings available for dividends. Disposition of treasury stock is subject to the approval of the Board of Directors and is to follow the procedures similar to a public offering of stock for subscription. Prior to October 1, 2001 in principle, reacquisition of treasury stock was prohibited with the exception of reacquisition for retirement and certain limited purposes, as specified by the Code.

Legal Reserve Set Aside as Appropriation of Retained Earnings and Legal Capital Surplus
Under the Code
The Code as applicable to UFJ Holdings provides that an amount at least equal to 10% of the aggregate amount of cash dividends and certain appropriations of retained earnings associated with cash outlays applicable to each period shall be appropriated and set aside as a legal reserve until the aggregate amount of legal reserve set aside as appropriation of retained earnings and the legal capital surplus equals 25% of stated capital (prior to October 1, 2001, 25% of common stock) as defined in the Code.
Under the Banking Law
The Banking Law as applicable to UFJ Bank and UFJ Trust provides that an amount at least equal to 20% of the aggregate amount of cash dividends and certain appropriations of retained earnings associated with cash outlays applicable to each fiscal period shall be appropriated and set aside as a legal reserve until the aggregate amount of legal reserve set aside as appropriation of retained earnings and the legal capital surplus equals 100% of stated capital as defined in the Code.
Transfer of the Legal Reserve
Under the Code
Japanese companies, including UFJ Holdings, are permitted, pursuant to a resolution by the stockholders at a general meeting, to make amounts from the legal reserve set aside as appropriation of retained earnings and legal capital surplus available for dividends as long as the aggregate amount of the legal reserve and legal capital surplus equals at least 25% of stated capital as defined in the Code.
Under the Banking Law
Japanese banks, including UFJ Bank and UFJ Trust, are permitted, pursuant to a resolution by the stockholders at a general meeting, to make amounts from the legal reserve set aside as appropriation of retained earnings and legal capital surplus available for dividends as long as the aggregate amount of the legal reserve and legal capital surplus after the dividend equals at least 100% of stated capital as defined in the Code.
The Code permits the transfer, upon approval of the stockholders, of a portion of unappropriated retained earnings available for dividends to stated capital as defined in the Code.
Retained Earnings and Dividends
Under the Code, the amount available for dividends is based on the amount recorded in UFJ Holdings general books of account maintained in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan (Japanese GAAP). The US GAAP adjustments included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements but not recorded in UFJ Holdings general books of account under Japanese GAAP have no effect on the determination of retained earnings available for dividends under the Code. In addition to the provision that requires an appropriation for legal reserve as described above, the Code and the Banking Law impose certain limitations on the amount available for dividends. Under the Banking Law, UFJ Holding, UFJ Bank and UFJ Trust have to meet minimum capital adequacy requirements. Distributions of retained earnings of UFJ Holdings and UFJ Bank, which would otherwise be distributable to stockholders, are restricted in order to maintain the minimum 4.0% Tier I capital for capital adequacy purposes. For UFJ Trust, which is not engaged in international operations conducted by foreign offices, distributions of retained earnings are restricted in order to maintain the minimum 2.0% Tier I capital for capital adequacy purposes.

In the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders equity, dividends shown for each fiscal year represent dividends approved and paid during the fiscal year.
18. REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
UFJ Holdings, UFJ Bank, UFJ Trust and various other bank subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory capital requirements promulgated by the regulatory authorities of the countries in which they operate. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements will initiate certain mandatory actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on UFJ Holdings consolidated financial statements.
In Japan, UFJ Holdings, UFJ Bank, and UFJ Trust are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the Financial Services Agency (FSA) in accordance with the provisions of the Banking Law and related regulations. A banking institution is subject to the minimum capital adequacy requirements both on a consolidated basis and a stand-alone basis and is required to maintain the minimum capital irrespective of whether it operates independently or as a subsidiary under the control of another company. When a bank holding company manages operations of its banking subsidiaries, it is required to maintain the minimum capital adequacy ratio on a consolidated basis in the same manner as its subsidiary banks. The FSA provides two sets of capital adequacy guidelines. One is a set of guidelines applicable to Japanese banks and bank holding companies with foreign offices conducting international operations, and the other is applicable to Japanese banks and bank holding companies that are not engaged in international operations.
Under the capital adequacy guidelines applicable to a Japanese banking institution with international operations conducted by foreign offices, the minimum target capital ratio of 8.0% is required. The capital adequacy guidelines adopt the approach of risk-weighted capital measure based on the framework developed and proposed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision of the Bank for International Settlements and involve quantitative credit measures of the assets and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under Japanese GAAP. The UFJ Groups proprietary assets do not include trust assets under management and administration in a capacity of agent or fiduciary and, accordingly trust account assets are generally not included in the capital measure. However, if trust principal is guaranteed, trust assets are counted the same as proprietary assets. Also, a banking institution engaged in certain qualified trading activities, as defined, is required to calculate an additional capital charge for market risk using either the institutions own internal risk measurement model or a standardized process proposed and defined by the Bank for International Settlements. Capital is classified into three tiers, referred to as Tier I, Tier II and Tier III. Tier I generally consists of shareholders equity (including common stock, preferred stock, capital surplus, minority interests and retained earnings) less any recorded goodwill. Tier II generally consists of general reserves for credit losses up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets, 45% of the unrealized gains on available for sale investment securities, 45% of the land revaluation excess, the
F-150
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
balance of perpetual subordinated debt and the balance of subordinated term debt with an original maturity of over five years subject to some limitations, up to 50% of Tier I capital. Preferred shares are includable in Tier I capital unless the preferred shares have a fixed maturity, in which case, such preferred shares will be components of Tier II capital. Tier III capital generally consists of short-term subordinated debt with an original maturity of at least two years, subject to certain limitations. At least 50% of the minimum capital requirements must be maintained in the form of Tier I capital.
If a banking institution is not engaged in international operations conducted by foreign offices, it is subject to the other set of capital adequacy requirements with a minimum target capital ratio of 4.0%. Such guidelines incorporate measures of risk under the risk-weighted approach similar to the guidelines applicable to banking institutions with international operations. Qualifying capital is classified into Tier I and Tier II capital. Tier II does not include the unrealized gains on available for sale investment securities and also the general reserves for credit losses includable is limited to 0.625% of risk weighted assets.
The Banking Law and related regulations require that one of three categories be assigned to banks and bank holding companies, based on its risk-adjusted capital adequacy ratio if the bank fails to meet the minimum target capital adequacy ratio. These categories indicate capital deterioration, which may be subject to certain prompt corrective action by the FSA.
UFJ Holdings and UFJ Bank have international operations conducted by foreign offices, as defined, and are subject to the 8.0% capital adequacy requirement. UFJ Trust is not engaged in international operations conducted by foreign offices and is subject to the 4.0% capital adequacy requirement. For the purpose of calculating the additional charge for market risk, UFJ Holdings and UFJ Bank have adopted the internal risk measurement model approach for general market risk calculations.
The risk-adjusted capital amounts and ratios of UFJ Holdings, UFJ Bank and UFJ Trust presented in the following table are based on amounts calculated in accordance with Japanese GAAP as required by the FSA.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
Under the Securities and Exchange Law, securities companies in Japan are subject to the capital adequacy rules of the FSA. These rules require the maintenance of a capital adequacy ratio, which is defined as the ratio of adjusted capital to a quantified total of business risk, of not less than 120%. Adjusted capital is defined as net worth (which includes shareholders equity, net unrealized gains and losses on securities held, reserves and subordinated debts) less illiquid assets. The business risks are divided into three categories: (1) market risks, (2) counterparty risks and (3) basic risks. Under this rule, there are no restrictions on the operations of the companies provided that the resulting net capital adequacy ratio exceeds 120%. At March 31, 2003 and 2004, the capital adequacy ratio of the UFJ Group exceeded 120%.
Management believes, at March 31, 2004, that UFJ Holdings, UFJ Bank, UFJ Trust, other bank subsidiaries and regulated securities subsidiaries meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

20. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The UFJ Group uses various derivative financial instruments both for trading purposes and for risk management purposes in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its customers, as a source of revenue and to manage its exposure to a variety of risks. The UFJ Group is a party to derivatives, including swaps, forwards, options and other types of derivatives, dealing primarily with market risk associated with interest rate, foreign currency, equity and commodity prices and credit risk.
Market risk is the possibility that future changes in market prices make a financial instrument less valuable. Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may result from a counterpartys failure to perform according to the terms and conditions of a contract, which may exceed the value of underlying collateral. To reduce credit risk, the UFJ Group may require collateral or guarantees based on a case-by-case assessment of creditworthiness of each customer and evaluation of the instrument. The UFJ Group also uses master netting agreements in order to mitigate overall counterparty credit risk.
Trading Activities
The UFJ Groups trading activities include dealing and other activities measured at fair value with gains and losses recognized currently in earnings. As part of its trading activities, the UFJ Group offers a variety of derivative financial instruments and debt instruments for managing interest rate and foreign exchange risk to its domestic and foreign corporate and financial institution customers. The UFJ Group also enters into other types of derivative transactions, including equity- and credit-related contracts, for its own account.
Risk Management Activities
In the normal course of business, the UFJ Group enters into derivatives, including interest rate and foreign exchange contracts to help its customers manage their risk exposures. The UFJ Group also uses derivative instruments for its own trading accounts and to manage its asset and liability exposures related to interest rate and foreign exchange risks.
The UFJ Group uses interest rate derivatives, including non-leveraged generic interest rate and basis swaps, options and futures, principally to manage exposures to fluctuations in fair value due to interest rate risk. Pay-fixed receive-variable interest rate swap contracts are used to convert fixed rate assets, principally loans and investment securities, into synthetic variable rate instruments. Receive-fixed pay-variable interest rate swaps contracts are used to convert fixed rate funding sources, principally deposit liabilities and debt, into synthetic variable rate funding instruments.
The UFJ Group uses exchange rate derivatives, including cross-currency swaps and forward exchange contracts, principally to manage exposures to fluctuations in fair value due to foreign exchange risks. Cross-currency interest rate swaps are contracts that generally involve the exchange of both interest and principal amounts in two different currencies to manage exposures to fluctuations in fair value due to foreign exchange risks.
F-154
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
Derivative instruments may expose the UFJ Group to market risk or credit risk in excess of the amounts recorded on the balance sheets. Market risk arises due to market price, interest rate and foreign exchange rate fluctuations that may result in a decrease in the market value of a financial instrument and/or an increase in its funding cost. Exposure to market risk is managed through position limits and other controls and by entering into hedging transactions. Credit risk is the possibility that losses may occur from counterpartys failure to perform according to the terms of the contract, when the value of collateral held, if any, is not adequate to cover such losses. Credit risk is controlled through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures based on the same credit policies used for on-balance-sheet instruments. Generally, collateral or other security is not required. The amount of collateral obtained, if any, is based on the nature of the financial instrument and managements credit evaluation of each counterparty.
Derivatives are used for asset and liability management to manage exposures to fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates arising from mismatches of asset and liability positions, however the UFJ Group has not adopted hedge accounting for these derivatives. Accordingly, all derivatives used for risk management purposes are marked to market through the statement of operations.
Embedded Derivatives
Derivative features embedded in other non-derivative host contracts are separated from the host contracts and measured at fair value when they are not clearly and closely related to the host contract and meet the definition of a derivative. The change in the fair value of such an embedded derivative is recognized currently in earnings. The carrying amount is reported on the consolidated balance sheets with the host contract. The UFJ Group accounts for credit-linked notes as host contracts with embedded derivatives and measures the entire contracts at fair value.
21. OBLIGATIONS UNDER GUARANTEES AND OTHER OFF-BALANCE SHEET INSTRUMENTS
Obligations Under Guarantees
The UFJ Group provides customers with a variety of guarantees and similar arrangements, including standby letters of credit, financial and performance guarantees, credit protections, liquidity facilities, other off-balance sheet credit-related supports and similar instruments, in order to meet customers financial and business needs. The table below summarizes the contractual or notional amounts with regard to obligations under guarantees and similar arrangements at March 31, 2003 and 2004. The contractual or notional amounts of these instruments represent the maximum potential amounts of future payments without consideration of possible recoveries under recourse provisions or from collateral held or pledged.
For certain types of derivatives, such as written interest rate options and written currency options, the maximum potential future payments are unlimited. Accordingly, it is impracticable to estimate such maximum potential amount of future payments. As such, the notional amounts of the related contracts, other than the maximum potential payments, are included in the table.
The UFJ Group mitigates credit risk exposure resulting from guarantees by utilizing various techniques, including collateralization in the form of cash, securities, and real properties based on managements credit assessment of the guaranteed parties and the related credit profile. In order to manage credit risk exposure, the UFJ Group also enters into sub-participation contracts with third parties who will fund a portion of the credit facility and bear their share of the loss to be incurred in the event that the borrower fails to fulfill its obligations. The following table includes unfunded commitments of ¥28 billion and ¥18 billion, at March 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively, that are participated out to third parties. Contractual or notional amounts summarized in the following table may not necessarily bear a direct relationship to the future actual credit exposure, primarily because of these risk management techniques.

Nature of guarantee contracts
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees generally include an obligation of an issuer or a designated third party to guarantee the performance of the customer to the beneficiary under the terms of contracts such as lending contracts and other similar financial transactions. The UFJ Group is required to make payments to the guaranteed parties in the event that customers fail to fulfill their obligations under such contracts.
Performance guarantees are contracts that contingently require the UFJ Group to make payments to the guaranteed party based on another partys failure to perform under an obligating agreement, except financial obligation. For example, performance guarantees include guarantees of completion of construction or service projects.
Liquidity facilities may include a provision of guarantees of collection of contractual cash flows under an asset securitization structure, involving variable interest entities. Such guarantee provisions protect the beneficiaries of asset securitizations from negative returns relating to shortfalls of cash collections on underlying assets held by the securitization vehicle. See Note 22 for additional information on the UFJ Groups operations regarding variable interest entities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
Derivative instruments that are deemed to be included within the definition of guarantees as prescribed in FIN 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (FIN 45), include certain written options and credit default swaps. In order for the UFJ Group to determine if those derivative instruments meet the definition of guarantees as prescribed in FIN 45, the UFJ Group applies criteria of whether a derivative contract specifies an underlying in which adverse changes could result in losses on a counterpartys assets, liabilities or capital and the counterparty could cover those losses with proceeds from the derivative contract. Accordingly, the UFJ Group has disclosed information on such identified credit default swaps and certain written options that meet the definition of guarantees as prescribed in FIN 45.
Guarantees for the repayment of trust principal include guarantees that the UFJ Group provides for the repayment of principal of certain types of trust products, including certain jointly operated designated money in trusts and loan trusts. The UFJ Group manages and administers trust assets in a capacity of agent or fiduciary on behalf of its customers and trust assets are segregated from the assets of the UFJ Group, which keeps records for the trust activities separately. The UFJ Group, in principle, does not assume any risks associated with the trust assets under management, however, as permitted by applicable laws, the UFJ Group may provide guarantees for the repayment of principal of such trust products. At March 31, 2003 and 2004, the contract amounts of such guarantees for repayment of trust principal were ¥2,142 billion and ¥2,379 billion, respectively. The accounting methods used for the segregated records of trust activities are different from financial accounting principles and practices. However, the UFJ Group follows an approach similar to those used for its own assets to identify an impairment of an asset included in trusts with guaranteed principal, with inherent variations peculiar to trust accounting. Amounts of loans deemed to be impaired are written off directly and are charged to the trust account earnings during the trust accounting period. Write-downs of securities are also directly charged to trust account earnings. The amounts of trust assets written-off in the segregated records were ¥13,514 million and ¥10,868 million, for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively. These amounts of write-offs were reflected in the segregated records as deductions before net fees earned by trust accounts for the accounting period. In addition, part of trust account fees are set aside as a reserve to absorb losses in the trust asset portfolios in the segregated records in accordance with relevant legislation concerning the trust business and/or trust agreements. Statutory reserves for loan trusts are established at a rate of 4.0% of the trust fees up to the amounts of 0.5% of the trust principal in accordance with the legislation. Reserves for jointly operated designated money in trusts are established at a rate of 0.3% of the balance of loans and other assets in the trust account in accordance with the related trust agreement. The amounts of such reserves set aside in the segregated records were ¥6,940 million and ¥4,805 million, at March 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively. The UFJ Group is required to provide an allowance for off-balance sheet instruments on such guarantees in the financial statements only when aggregate losses on trust assets are judged to exceed the reserve and the profit earned by the trust account, and the principal is deemed to be impaired. Management believes that the UFJ Group will not incur any significant losses on the guarantees.
Liabilities of trust accounts represent the trustees potential responsibility for temporary payments to creditors of trust accounts making use of funds of the UFJ Group, except for certain trust agreements that have provisions limiting the UFJ Groups responsibility as a trustee to the trust account assets. A trust may incur external liabilities to finance its activities and obtain certain services during the terms of the trust arrangement. While, in principle, any liabilities of a trust are payable by the trust account and its beneficiaries, a trustees responsibility may be interpreted to encompass temporary payments for the trust account liabilities when the trust account has insufficient liquidity available for such liabilities. At March 31, 2003 and 2004, there were liabilities of ¥785 billion and ¥1,310 billion, respectively, in the segregated records of trust accounts including the amounts related to liabilities with provisions limiting trustee responsibility. Liabilities of trust accounts principally included obligations to return collateral under security lending transactions. The UFJ Group has experienced no significant losses on such responsibilities and its exposure to the risk associated with the temporary payments is
F-157
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
judged to be remote because trust account liabilities are generally covered by the corresponding trust account assets; the UFJ Group continuously monitors the liabilities of trust accounts and assesses the trust accounts ability to perform its obligations to prevent any unfavorable outcomes; and the UFJ Group claims its recourse for any temporary payments against the trust account assets and the beneficiaries.
Carrying amount
At March 31, 2003 and 2004, the carrying amounts of the liabilities related to guarantees and similar instruments set forth above were ¥9,646 million and ¥35,238 million, respectively, which are included in Other liabilities and Trading account liabilities. In addition, Other liabilities also include an allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet instruments of ¥66,733 million and ¥67,752 million at March 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively, related to these transactions.
Other Off-Balance Sheet Instruments
In addition to obligations under guarantees set forth above, the UFJ Group issues other off-balance sheet instruments for purposes other than trading. Such off-balance sheet instruments consist of lending-related commitments, including commitments to extend credit and commercial letters of credit that the UFJ Group provides to meet the financing needs of its customers. Once the UFJ Group issues these financial instruments, the UFJ Group is required to extend credit to or make certain payments to the customers or beneficiaries specified pursuant to the underlying contracts unless otherwise provided in the contracts. Since many of these commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. At March 31, 2004, approximately 92% of these commitments will expire within one year, 7% from one year to five years and 1% after five years. The table below summarizes the contractual amounts of these commitments at March 31, 2003 and 2004.

Commitments to extend credit, which generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses, are legally binding agreements to lend to customers. Commitments are different from guarantees in that the commitments are generally revocable or have provisions that enable the UFJ Group to avoid payments in the event of violations of any conditions of the contracts or certain deterioration of the potential borrowers financial condition.
Commercial letters of credit, used for facilitating trade transactions, are generally secured by underlying goods. The UFJ Group continually monitors the type and amount of collateral and other security, and requires counterparties to provide additional collateral or guarantees as necessary.
Reverse repurchase and repurchase transactions are collateralized financing agreements. In a sale of securities or other financial instruments with agreement to repurchase them, the UFJ Group sells securities or other financial instruments at a stated price to a counterparty and agrees to repurchase identical financial instruments from the same counterparty at a later date at a predetermined price which reflects the principal amount and interest. In a purchase of securities or other financial instruments with an agreement to resell them,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
the UFJ Group receives securities or other financial instruments for a stated price from a counterparty and agrees to sell identified financial instrument to the same counterparty at a later date at a predetermined price reflecting the principal amount and interest. When certain conditions specified in SFAS No. 140 are met, the UFJ Group accounts for reverse repurchase agreements as purchase of financial instruments with related off-balance sheet forward reverse repurchase commitments and repurchase agreements as sale of financial instruments with related forward repurchase agreements. The UFJ Group bears risk related to the forward reverse repurchase and repurchase commitments, including credit risk and market risk and accounts for such commitments as derivative financial instruments. The UFJ Group accounts for reverse repurchase agreements as borrowings and retains the securities sold in the balance sheet, and accounts for reverse repurchase agreements as secured lending transactions.
Commitments to make investments are legally binding contracts to make additional contributions to corporate recovery or private equity investment funds in accordance with limited partnership agreements. Funds in which the UFJ Group has significant variable interest, are described in Note 22.

The table below is a summary of the carrying amounts and classification of consolidated assets that are legally segregated as collateral for obligations of variable interest entities that are consolidated prior to the adoption of FIN 46 under existing standards and guidance as well as variable interest entities that the UFJ Group became first involved with on or after February 1, 2003, which are consolidated under the requirements of FIN 46:

Loans |
2,166,114 | ||
Other assets |

Total |
¥ | 2,254,427 | |
The investors in the variable interest entities that are consolidated by the UFJ Group have recourse only to the assets of the variable interest entities and have no recourse to the general credit of the UFJ Group.
Of the ¥2,254,427 million of total assets of variable interest entities consolidated at March 31, 2004, ¥647,285 million relates to sales and securitization of the UFJ Groups financial assets, ¥1,586,612 million relates to financing entities that purchase financial assets from or provide financing to UFJ Groups customers, and ¥20,530 million relate to transactions entered into for investment purposes.
The UFJ Groups assets sold to the variable interest entities include corporate loans, housing loans and privately placed corporate bonds. In addition to subordinated loans to these entities, the UFJ Group provides liquidity facilities to some of the entities.
The assets held by the financing entities, which are primarily asset-backed commercial paper conduits, include corporate loans, receivables under lease contracts and security deposits. The UFJ Group provides loans as well as liquidity facilities to the entities.
The UFJ Group administers conduits that purchase financial assets from UFJ Groups customers. Also, UFJ Group extends credits to certain entities that provide financing to UFJ Groups customers. These entities are
F-159
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
typically funded by investments under partnership agreements from customers or by borrowings from the UFJ Group or third parties. In this type of arrangement, the owner of real estate properties receives financing from the entity that is secured by the property. The UFJ Group consolidates entities in which it participates in a majority of risks and rewards through the investment and financing.
The entities created for investment purposes involve entities that invest in Japanese government bonds and other investment securities using loans from the UFJ Group, or credit-linked loans from the UFJ Group that are referenced to credit risks of certain borrowers.
In addition to the variable interest entities that are consolidated, the UFJ Group has significant interests in other variable interest entities that are not consolidated because the UFJ Group is not primary beneficiary, as discussed below.
The UFJ Group administers several third-party owned finance companies, primarily commercial paper conduits, that purchase financial assets including loans as well as pools of trade or lease receivables from its customers. Assets purchased by these conduits are generally funded by issuing commercial paper, or partly by borrowings from the UFJ Group or third parties. While customers generally continue to service the transferred receivables, the UFJ Group underwrites, distributes, makes a market in commercial paper issued by the conduits, and also provides liquidity and credit support facilities to the entities. The UFJ Group is not the primary beneficiary of these entities because it (together with its related parties) is not exposed to a majority of the expected losses due to the existence of third-party investments. At March 31, 2004, the total assets of these entities amounts to ¥13,559,240 million and the UFJ Group is exposed to a maximum loss of ¥48,822 million.
The UFJ Group holds investments in various investment funds that collectively invest in equity and debt securities including listed Japanese securities and investment grade bonds, and, to a limited extent, securities and other interests issued by companies in a start-up or restructuring stage. Such investment funds are managed by investment advisory companies or fund management companies that make investment decisions and administer the funds. Since the equity holders do not have the substantive decision-making power and they do not have kick-out rights on the investment manager, these investment funds are variable interest entities. At March 31, 2004, these investment funds have total assets of ¥9,930,938 million and the UFJ Group is exposed to a maximum loss of ¥243,503 million.
The UFJ Group extends non-recourse asset-backed loans to special purpose entities, which hold beneficial interests in certain properties, to provide financing for the securitization of existing real estate properties held by the UFJ Groups customers and development projects including real estate development and natural resource development managed by third parties, who are typically the equity owner of the special purpose entities. The UFJ Group generally acts as a member of a lending group, and is not exposed to a majority of the expected losses of these entities. At March 31, 2004, these entities have total assets of ¥17,518,342 million and the UFJ Group is exposed to a maximum loss of ¥414,731 million.
In addition to the above entities, the UFJ Group offers a variety of trust products and manages and administers a wide range of trust arrangements through securities investment trusts, pension trusts and trusts used in the securitization of assets originated by and transferred to third parties. In a typical trust arrangement, the UFJ Group manages and administers the assets on behalf of the customers in an agency, fiduciary and trust capacity. In principle, the UFJ Group does not assume risks associated with the entrusted assets, which are borne by the customers, although in limited cases the UFJ Group may assume risks through guarantees or certain protections as provided in the trust agreement.
Further, the UFJ Group extends credits, along with other financial institutions, to numerous financing entities that provide project financing or financing on an acquisition of an aircraft or large commercial vessel.
F-160
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
The source of repayment by the entities is primarily the lease payments from the lessee. In this type of arrangement, the lessee generally assumes the risks and rewards of the entity. The UFJ Group extends loans based on the credit quality of the lessee, and does not participate in the economics of the assets being financed by the entities.
It is expected that the UFJ Group will consolidate additional variable interest entities upon adoption of FIN 46R from the period beginning April 1, 2004. The UFJ Group has concluded that certain borrowers of the UFJ Group are variable interest entities for which the UFJ Group is a primary beneficiary. At March 31, 2004, the total assets of such borrowers amount to ¥1,994,173 million, and the UFJ Groups maximum exposure to these entities is ¥516,045 million.
23. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

In 2002, UFJ Bank established UFJ Strategic Partner Co., Ltd. (UFJ Strategic Partner), a joint venture with Merrill Lynch to provide advisory services for formulating and implementing restructuring plans to UFJ Banks small- and medium-sized clients and to advise them on problem loans. UFJ Strategic Partner is a subsidiary of UFJ Bank. UFJ Strategic Partner has issued ¥120 billion in non-voting preferred stock to Merrill Lynch. UFJ Bank currently holds all the common shares and all the voting rights of UFJ Strategic Partner.
Upon the occurrence of certain events, including the non-payment of dividends on the preferred stock for three consecutive fiscal years, specified insolvency and business suspension events of UFJ Bank or a change in control of UFJ Holdings, Merrill Lynch will be able to obtain control of UFJ Strategic Partner and could then terminate the venture. If Merrill Lynch chooses to exercise this option, UFJ Bank has the right to purchase the preferred stock at a premium based upon the loan portfolio held by UFJ Strategic Partner. The entering into and seeking of shareholders approval of the proposed merger agreement between UFJ Bank and the Bank of Tokyo- Mitsubishi constitutes such an event. At the present time, however, Merrill Lynch has not indicated whether it intends to exercise its rights.

The UFJ Group is involved in various litigation matters. Management, based upon its current knowledge and results of consultation with counsel, makes an appropriate level of litigation reserve. Management believes that the amount of UFJ Groups liabilities when ultimately determined will not have a material adverse effect on the UFJ Groups results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

25. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The business segment information of UFJ Holdings and its subsidiaries, set forth below, is derived from the internal management reporting system used by management to measure performance of the business segments. Unlike financial accounting, there is no authoritative body of guidance for management accounting. The business segment information is based on financial information prepared in accordance with Japanese GAAP along with internal management accounting rules and practices. Accordingly, the format and information is presented primarily on the basis of Japanese GAAP and is not consistent with the consolidated financial statements prepared on the basis of US GAAP. A reconciliation is provided to the total amount of segments operating profits with income (loss) before income tax expense, cumulative effect of change in accounting principle and extraordinary gain under US GAAP.
See Note 26 for financial information relating to the UFJ Groups operations by geographic area. The geographic financial information is consistent with the basis of accounting used in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Management measures performance of each business unit by Operating profit. Operating profit is a defined term in regulatory reporting of UFJ Bank and UFJ Trust to the FSA. Operating profit under Japanese GAAP does not reflect items such as a part of provisions for credit losses (primarily an equivalent of formula allowance under US GAAP), foreign exchange gains (losses) and equity investment securities gains (losses).
Net revenue above includes net interest income, net non-interest income (fees and commissions received including trust fees, net of fees paid and other related expenses) and other, including net trading gains, net foreign exchange gains, net gains from sales of debt investment securities, insurance costs and funding cost measured under Japanese GAAP. Interest income and expenses between business units are determined using an internal transfer pricing system, based on current market rates. Operating expenses includes salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and certain other non-interest expenses.
In determining operating profit, UFJ Holdings does not assign to each business unit certain income and expense items such as provisions for loan loss reserve, equity investment securities gains or losses, goodwill impairment, net gains or losses from disposition of premises and equipment, and other non-interest income and expense items.
Reconciliation
As set forth above, the measurement bases and the income and expenses items covered under the internal management reporting system are very different from the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Therefore, it is impracticable to present reconciliations of the business segments total information, other than operating profit, to corresponding items in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

26. FOREIGN ACTIVITIES
Foreign operations include the business conducted by overseas offices and involve various transactions with debtors and customers residing outside Japan. Close integration of the UFJ Groups foreign and domestic activities makes precise estimates of the amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses attributable to foreign operations difficult and necessarily subjective. Assets, income and expenses attributable to foreign operations are allocated to geographical areas based on the location of the subsidiary or branch in which the transaction is recorded.
Interest rates with respect to funds borrowed and loaned between domestic and foreign operations are based on prevailing money market rates appropriate for the transactions. The UFJ Group has allocated all direct expenses and a proportionate share of general and administrative expenses to income derived from foreign loans and other transactions by the UFJ Groups foreign operations.
The following table sets forth total assets at March 31, 2003 and 2004, and total revenue, total expenses, income (loss) before income tax expense, cumulative effect of change in accounting principle and extraordinary gain and net income (loss) for the respective years then ended.

27. ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Quoted market prices, when available, are used to estimate fair value of financial instruments. However, quoted market prices are not available for a substantial portion of financial instruments and, therefore, fair value for such financial instruments are estimated using discounted cash flow models or other valuation techniques. Although management uses its best judgment in estimating fair value of financial instruments, estimation

methodologies and assumptions used to estimate fair value are inherently subjective. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the values at which these instruments could be bought and sold. The use of different estimation methodologies and/or market assumptions may have a significant effect on the estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of financial instruments do not include valuations of related intangible assets such as core deposits.

The methodologies and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments are summarized below.
Cash, interest-earning deposits in other banks, call loans and funds sold, and receivables under reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowing transactionsFor cash, due from banks including interest-earning deposits, and call loans and funds sold, the carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of the fair value because of their short-term nature and limited credit risk. The fair value of interest-earning deposits in other banks maturing after a short period of time is estimated by discounting the estimated cash flows using the applicable current market rates. For receivables under reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowing transactions, the fair value is based on quoted market prices, when available, or estimated with reference to quoted market prices for similar instruments when quoted market prices are not available.
F-166
UFJ HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
Trading securities and securities sold, not yet purchasedTrading securities and securities sold, not yet purchased are carried at fair value, which is principally based on quoted market prices, when available. If the quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.
Investment securitiesThe fair value of investment securities, where quoted market prices or secondary market prices are available, is equal to such market prices. For investment securities, when quoted market prices or secondary market prices are not available, the fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities or based on appraised value as deemed appropriate by management. The fair value of investment securities other than those classified as available for sale (i.e. nonmarketable equity securities) are estimated based on the acquisition cost of the investments and adjusted for other-than-temporary impairment losses, if any.
LoansThe fair value of loans is estimated for groups of loans with similar characteristics, including type of loan, credit quality and remaining maturity. In incorporating a credit risk factor, management concluded that the allowance for loan losses adequately adjusts the related book values for credit risk. For floating-or adjustable-rate loans, which mature or are repriced within a short period of time, the carrying value is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value. For fixed-rate loans, market prices are not generally available and the fair value is estimated by discounting the estimated future cash flows based on the contracted maturity of the loans. The discount rates are based on the current market rates corresponding to the applicable maturity. Where quoted market prices or estimated fair value is available, primarily for loans to refinancing companies, loans held for disposition or sale and certain other foreign loans, the fair value is based on such market prices and estimated fair value, including secondary market prices. For nonperforming loans, the fair value is generally determined on an individual basis by discounting the estimated future cash flows and may be based on the appraisal value of underlying collateral as appropriate.
Other financial assetsThe estimated fair value of other financial assets, which primarily includes accrued interest receivable, customers acceptance liabilities and accounts receivable, approximate their carrying amounts.
Derivative financial instrumentsThe estimated fair value of derivative financial instruments is the amount the UFJ Group would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the balance-sheet date, taking into account the current unrealized gain or loss on open contracts. The estimated fair value is based on market or dealer quotes when available. Valuation models such as present value and option pricing models are applied to current market information to estimate fair value when such quotes are not available.
Non-interest-bearing deposits, call money and funds purchased, payables under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions, and obligations to return securities received as collateralThe fair value of non-interest-bearing deposits is equal to the amount payable on demand. For call money and funds purchased, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of the fair value because of their short-term nature. For payables under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions and obligations to return securities received as collateral, the fair value is generally based on quoted market prices, when available, or estimated using quoted market prices for similar instruments when quoted market prices are not available.
Interestbearing depositsThe fair value of demand deposits, deposits at notice, and certificates of deposit maturing within a short period of time is the amounts payable on demand. Fair value of time deposits and certificates of deposit maturing after a short period of time is estimated by discounting the estimated cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities or the applicable current market rates.

Due to trust accountFor due to trust account, which reflects a temporary placement of excess funds from individual trust accounts managed by the trust banking subsidiary in their fiduciary and trust capacity, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of the fair value due to the fact that this is short-term funding.
Other short-term borrowingsFor most other short-term borrowings, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of the fair value because of their short-term nature. For certain borrowings, fair value is estimated by discounting the estimated future cash flows using applicable current market interest rates or comparable rates for similar instruments, which represent the UFJ Groups cost to raise funds with a similar remaining maturity.
Long-term debtFor bonds and certain subordinated debt, the fair value is estimated based on quoted market prices of the instruments. The fair value of other long-term debt is estimated using a discounted cash flow model based on rates applicable to the UFJ Group for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.
Other financial liabilitiesThe estimated fair value of other financial liabilities, which primarily include accrued interest payable, bank acceptances, accounts payable and obligations under standby letters of credit and guarantees, approximate their carrying amount. Effective January 1, 2003, the UFJ Group adopted the initial recognition and measurement provisions of FIN No. 45, which requires that, for guarantees within the scope of FIN No. 45 issued or amended after December 31, 2002, liability for the fair value of the obligations undertaken in issuing the guarantees be initially measured at fair value. The fair value of obligations under standby letters of credit and guarantees are based on fees received or receivable by the UFJ Group.
The fair value of certain off-balance sheet financial instruments held for purposes other than trading, including commitments to extend credit and commercial letters of credit, is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the credit quality. The aggregate fair value of such instruments at March 31, 2003 and 2004 was not material.
The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management at March 31, 2003 and 2004. These amounts have not been comprehensively revalued since that date and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may have changed significantly from the amounts presented herein.

Planned Management Integration with Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group, Inc. (MTFG)
On May 21, 2004, UFJ Holdings, UFJ Trust, UFJ Bank and The Sumitomo Trust & Banking Co., Ltd. (Sumitomo Trust) entered into a basic agreement that UFJ Trust and Sumitomo Trust would integrate management and operate the UFJ Groups trust and custody businesses jointly. Under this agreement, the UFJ Group would have transferred all operations of UFJ Trust, except its corporate lending business, to Sumitomo Trust or to a new trust banking entity that Sumitomo Trust would have established.
On July 14, 2004, UFJ Holdings withdrew from the basic agreement with Sumitomo Trust dated May 21, 2004, and initiated discussions with MTFG on an integration of the two groups.
In response to the withdrawal from the basic agreement by UFJ Group, on July 27, 2004, Sumitomo Trust filed a complaint with the Tokyo District Court, which granted a preliminary injunction to restrain the UFJ Group from entering into discussions with any third party in breach of the basic agreement between the UFJ Group and Sumitomo Trust. On August 4, 2004, the Tokyo District Court approved its previous preliminary injunction ruling dated July 27, 2004 in favor of Sumitomo Trust preventing the UFJ Group from engaging in discussion with any third party involving the merger or sale of UFJ Trust.
However, on August 11, 2004, the Tokyo High Court overturned the Tokyo District Courts August 4, 2004 ruling. On August 30, 2004, the Supreme Court also rejected the complaint by Sumitomo Trust and allowed the appeal by the UFJ Group. With this decision, the UFJ Group resumed its integration negotiations with MTFG, including UFJ Trust.
On August 12, 2004, UFJ Holdings, MTFG, UFJ Bank, The Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi, Ltd., UFJ Trust, The Mitsubishi Trust and Banking Corporation, UFJ Tsubasa and Mitsubishi Securities Co., Ltd. concluded a basic agreement regarding the integration of the holding companies, banks, trust banks and securities companies of the two groups. The integration is scheduled to be completed by October 1, 2005, subject to regulatory approval.
The UFJ Group has accelerated the aim of reducing its non-performing loan ratio and, as a result, these actions have incurred additional credit-related expenses on a Japanese GAAP basis. On September 10, 2004, UFJ Holdings, UFJ Bank and MTFG concluded an agreement regarding MTFGs cooperation in strengthening UFJ Groups capital, based on approvals from the respective boards of directors. Under the terms of this agreement, UFJ Bank issued ¥700 billion in preferred shares to MTFG. This capital strengthening is a part of the proposed management integration, as outlined in the basic agreement between the two groups.
