BUSINESS REPORT
(From April 1, 2007 through March 31, 2008)
I. | Current Status of the Corporate Group |
1. | Business Progress and Results |
While Japans economy in the current consolidated fiscal year continued to post flat corporate revenue growth, consumer spending remained strong and provided overall stability. In addition, with the expansion of credit card payments for medical expenses, public utilities and in other industries which have traditionally been cash payment industries, the Companys core business of credit card shopping has continued to post strong growth. Nevertheless, the business environment surrounding the Company is increasing in intensity due to tougher competition from industry restructuring that applies across business types and forms, as well as rapid changes in the industry from the revised Money Lending Business Law and the Installment Payment Sales Law, which is expected to be revised in the future.
Under these conditions, the Company Group posted business performance as follows in the current consolidated fiscal year.

Sales (Operating Revenues)
Operating revenues which constitute sales reached 419,129 million yen (up 114.0% year-on-year).
With the addition of card members through the merger with Kyodo Credit Card Co., Ltd., in October 2006 and the addition of card members through the merger with DC Card Co., Ltd., in April 2007, along with the acquisition of 2,960,000 highly active new card members in the current term, the active promotion of the credit card issuing business and the like through tie-ups with leading regional banks, and our efforts to expand our business base, we posted increased revenues in our Overall Credit Cards, Credit Guarantee and Other Business divisions respectively.
Operating Profits/Ordinary Profits
The Company posted an operating loss of 50,997 million yen and an ordinary loss of 50,952 million yen.
Due to an increase in the number of interest refund claims, the effects of exposure to the subsequently implemented total volume control, and other marked changes in the market environment, the Group adjusted its allowances for doubtful accounts and allowances for losses from interest refunds in the current consolidated fiscal year. Specifically, we set aside allowances for doubtful accounts based on an allocation rate adjusted to the future allocation rate, which assumes future risks taking into consideration the trend of increased doubtful account related expenses accompanying the increase in debt adjustments and the like and the effects of future total volume controls. We conservatively forecast that the interest refund expenses would peak from the latter half of the fiscal year ending in March 2008 through the first half of the fiscal year ending in March 2009, and set aside allowances related to the refund of interest. In addition, the increase in doubtful account-related costs and the like accompanying the increase in debt adjustments caused by the dramatically changing market environment also contributed to a large reduction in both operating profits and ordinary profits.
(Translation)
Net Income
The Company recorded a net loss of 85,618 million yen.
In addition to a decline in ordinary profits, the Company incurred a one-time special charge of 64,049 million yen in the current fiscal year for expenses accompanying reorganization.
After the launch of our new company, Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS, in April 2007, the Group targeted rapid business development through the creation of a business model that strengthened the business base through reorganization and utilized the strengths of the new company, and strengthening of the business arising from early realization of synergetic effects and radical reorganization has surpassed expectations. Based on the advancement of this plan and the effects of the changes in the business environment, the current consolidated fiscal year was positioned as a strategic year in terms of growth, and as such we posted reorganization-related expenses in order to eliminate any and all risks that could possibly impede this growth.
Distribution of Retained Earnings
Taking into consideration the net loss in the current term, the business environment surrounding the Company, and the continued efforts to strengthen our business base in order to create a business entity that will produce stable profits, we will not pay dividends on any of our common stock shares or Class 1 shares. We apologize to our shareholders for this decision.
An overview of our operations by division is as follows.
Credit Card Division
In the Credit Card Division, the Company has strived to maximize the characteristics and strengths of our three-brand strategy to acquire and enhance the quality of members who lead to activity and make the Companys cards their main cards, and promote and enhance the use of cards by these members.
With respect to our brand cards, we have strengthened our Internet activities with the expectation of acquiring highly active customers, and have promoted the acquisition of these members through affiliates centering on our VIASO Card for Internet users. In addition, the PREMIO Card developed for the UFJ brand which offers a higher standard of services than ordinary cards is being applied to the NICOS brand, and other efforts are being made to acquire quality members through the enhancement of products and services. In addition, the JA Card which we began issuing in 2007 has promoted the acquisition of members through the development and strengthening of a strong customer base centered on the JA Bank.
With respect to the co-branded cards, we realized tie-ups with Tokyo Electric Power, the Autobacs Group, and other major companies that are leaders in their industries to create new affiliations with 33 companies. We also renewed the ENEOS Card, a co-branded card with the Nippon Oil Corporation, and otherwise expanded our new affiliations and strengthened our alliances with existing affiliates to promote the acquisition of new members.
With respect to corporate cards, the Company has strived to strengthen the acquisition of customers through its corporate cards for major corporations that utilize the corporate customer base of the Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group and the JA Group and through its corporate cards for small and medium-sized corporations that utilize the Companys affiliated stores and the individual member base.
(Translation)
As a result, our overall credit card business has acquired 2,960,000 million new members in the current term.
With respect to the promotion of card use, in addition to utility payments and mobile phone payments, we have expanded the acceptance and implementation of CATV and newspaper payments and other fee settlements tied to continuous use, implemented a campaign that utilizes the characteristics of tie-ups with major affiliated stores and affiliated cards, expanded the members eligible for Personal Use Statements, and have otherwise increased marketing and promoted the use of our cards as a customers main card. In addition, the Raku-Pay service which allows customers to freely set their monthly payment amounts has been expanded from the UFJ brand and NICOS brand to now apply to the DC brand, and we have otherwise promoted the convenience of using cards in an effort to increase the number of active members.
With respect to the expansion of affiliated stores, in addition to affiliate contracts with private hospitals and other medical facilities, the Osaka Traffic Bureau, the Fukuoka Traffic Bureau and other traffic bureaus, we have developed card payments for water usage fees from the Tokyo Metropolitan Water Bureau and Yokohama City Water Bureau in an effort to develop cash markets in medical care, traffic and public fees which are closely associated with day-to-day life. In addition, with respect to the ever-expanding EC field, we have strived to expand our affiliated stores through the introduction of the EC Settlement System and the Companys other solutions.
In addition, with respect to the field of non-contact IC cards, we have expanded the issuance of VisaTouch/Smartplus cards, and at the same time have expanded the stores at which these cards can be used by enabling use at all Circle K/Thanks convenience stores, a major convenience store chain. In addition, we have strived to increase member convenience and expand sales by developing terminals which can be used with railway electronic money, developing electronic money wiring operations, and otherwise upgrading the settlement infrastructure and expanding our business.
As a result, sales revenue from this division reached 144,506 million yen (up 154.7% year-on-year).
Shopping Loans Division
In the shopping credit and automobile loan businesses of this division, the Company has developed new markets focusing on profitability and has strengthened the control of risk at the affiliated stores, while also making preparations to transfer the installment credit sales business to JACCS Co., Ltd., in April 2008 and otherwise striving to facilitate a smooth transfer of the affiliated stores, taking into consideration customer convenience.
As a result thereof, the sales revenue from this division reached 12,444 million yen (up 73.9% year-on-year).
Credit Guarantee Division
In the consumer loan guarantee business of this division, the Company renewed card loans with the credit card issuers The Hiroshima Bank, Ltd. and The Hyakugo Bank, Ltd., and otherwise renewed its existing products centered on leading regional banks to ensure the high quality of its loan receivables.
As a result thereof, the sales revenue from this division reached 27,460 million yen (up 108.6% year-on-year).
(Translation)
Loan Division
In the consumer loan business of this division, in response to the Usury Law, in addition to DC Card Cashing which was handled in August 2006, the Company lowered its lending rates for new loans taken out since April 2007 to within the limits of the Usury Law for NICOS Card Cashing and UFJ Card Cashing. With respect to the My Best card loans, we promoted the acquisition of new members and the switchover of existing members to the My Best BIZ, a product with a lending rate within the limits of the Usury Law.
In addition, we have maintained and expanded quality customers by implementing measures for early use by new members and the activation of inactive members.
As a result, the sales revenue from this division reached 199,051 million yen (up 92.4% year-on-year).
Other Business Division
In this division we have sought to expand our FC (franchise) business, TPP (third party processing) business, bill collection servicing business, e-business and other fee-based businesses.
With respect to the FC business, the Company has actively promoted the development of business outsourcing related to the issuance of credit cards by bank units, executed FC agreements with The Bank of Kyoto, Ltd., The Yamaguchi Bank, Ltd., and The Hyakugo Bank, Ltd., and received the outsourcing of processing operations. Together with The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., The Chiba Bank, Ltd., The Hiroshima Bank, Ltd., Joyo Bank, Ltd., The Shizuoka Bank, Ltd., and North Pacific Bank, Ltd., the Company now provides outsourcing for a total of nine banks, and the Companys FC business, combined with the existing card company FC business, now extends to 50 companies and nine bank franchises. In addition, the Company has developed the provision of packaged issuance and settlement businesses for its VisaTouch, targeting further business expansion.
With respect to the TPP business (outsourced credit card operations), operations are steady in the credit card business outsourced from Keihan Card Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Keihan Electric Railway Co., Ltd., Odakyu Electric Railway Co., Ltd., IY Card Service Co., Ltd., and West Japan Railway Company. In addition, in January 2008 the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation outsourced its credit card business in Japan to the Company through a new business tie-up with that bank.
With respect to the bill collection servicing business, the Company has actively received the outsourcing of public payments at convenience stores, and has received outsourcing from the National Tax Agency as well as 52 regional public entities. In addition, the Company has strengthened its alliance with The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., and has acquired 1400 new corporate customers for the business of outsourcing account transfers. Through an alliance with Japan Post Insurance Co., Ltd., the Company initiated the outsourcing of account transfer operations for insurance premiums starting in April 2008.
In the field of e-business, the Company continues to record strong growth for the NICOS Payment System, a service not available through other companies, which combines into a single package five types and 22 settlement options for money transfers via the Internet, including credit card payments, deposits at convenience stores and electronic money settlements. A total of 4,400 affiliated companies now offer this service.
As a result, operating revenues from this division reached 33,089 million yen (up 228.8% year-on-year).

(Translation)
6. | Issues to be Addressed |
The Company formulated a Medium-Term Business Plan for the new Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS in December 2006, and the Company seeks a breakthrough by strengthening the business base through reorganization and creating a business model that utilizes the strengths of the new company.
Following the launch of the new company in April 2007, amid ongoing changes in the environment surrounding the industry, the early realization of the synergetic effects stated in the Medium-Term Business Plan and the strengthening of the business through fundamental restructuring has progressed faster than expected.
Based on the development of this Medium-Term Business Plan and the effects of the new changes in the environment, a New Medium-Term Business Plan for the four-year period from April 2007 to March 2011 was formulated and implemented in the current fiscal year to eliminate all risks which may impede future growth and to implement a new business strategy which will serve as our new takeoff point.
<Summary of New Medium-Term Business Plan>
In consideration of the changes in the business environment, and having realized fundamental restructuring, the Company formulated the new business plan with the aim of achieving rapid growth by becoming No. 1 in Customer Support, Market Share, Profitability, and Financial Stability in order to be the No. 1 General Credit Card Business in the truest sense.
(1) | Realization of Fundamental Restructuring |
Because it has become difficult for the Company to improve profitability of the installment credit business its own, the business will be transferred to JACCS Co., Ltd., and the management resources will be concentrated in the credit card business. In addition, the various NICOS affiliates which had been consolidated subsidiary companies have been suffering and are having difficulty surviving on their own as the result of the revision of the Money Lending Business Law and other dramatic changes in the industry, and increased doubtful account-related expenses arising from increases in debt adjustments, and, as such, they were merged and absorbed to strengthen the business base of the overall group.
In addition to this restructuring, the Company has reorganized to strengthen the cost structure through consolidation of branch offices and operation centers and through the implementation of major staff reductions.
Furthermore, the Company will conservatively expand its account reserves to enable a proactive response to future changes in the credit card market and to ensure that the Company is able to respond to new increases in bad debt-related expenses caused by interest refund expenses and changes in the business environment.
(2) | New Business Strategy |
The Company will implement a new business strategy to actively improve growth potential by fusing the strengths of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group and the JA Group to bring out economies of scale on a group level.
In the credit card business, which is key to increasing operating revenue, as a new card business strategy, the Company will pursue public utilities and medical care facilities which have already posted solid results, as well as other new growth markets and will strengthen its revolving income and the like. In addition, the Company will seek to dramatically expand its customer base by establishing the new MUFG Card brand as a core brand for its next generation card strategy, and by forging deeper ties with the JA Group and positioning the JA Card on the same level as the Companys own cards.
(Translation)
(3) | Strengthening the Financial Base |
In order to cover the Companys equity losses resulting from costs of restructuring recorded in the current consolidated fiscal year and to ensure the realization of a stable financial basis required for the future growth strategy, the Company implemented a 120 billion yen capital increase subscribed to by Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. A basic agreement has been reached wherein the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc., through a share exchange conducted in accordance with a separate Share Exchange Agreement conditioned on the approval of the Companys shareholders, and then delist.
The foregoing strategy will be implemented over the four-year period for the New Medium-Term Business Plan, and seeks the realization of the following goals.
FYE March 2011 |
Operating revenue | 462.3 billion yen | ||||
Ordinary profits | 45.9 billion yen | |||||
Net income | 45.7 billion yen |
The Group has positioned the establishment of an internal control system as the most important management issue, and through the introduction of a comprehensive risk management plan, the Company will organize a system for the overall control of credit risks, market risks, liquidity risks, will otherwise engage in strict control of risks, will safely control individual information and comply with relevant laws and ordinances, and will enhance the management of compliance, including compliance with the Companys internal regulations and accurate financial reporting under the relevant laws and ordinances.

(a) | Securities |
Bonds held to maturity: Stated by amortized cost method (straight line basis)
Other securities:
Securities with market values: Stated by market value method based on the market price as of the consolidated settlement date (appraisal differences are handled by the full capitalization method, and sales costs are calculated using the moving average method).

(b) | Derivatives |
Stated by market value method.
(2) | Major depreciable assets and depreciation methods |
(a) | Tangible fixed assets: Straight line method |
Changes in accounting treatment:
With the revisions of the Corporation Tax Law (Law for Partial Amendment of the Income Tax Law, Etc. (Law No. 6 of March 30, 2007) and Cabinet Order for Partial Amendment of the Corporation Tax Law Enforcement Order (Cabinet Order No. 83 of March 30, 2007)), the tangible fixed assets acquired on and after April 1, 2007 have been changed over to the method under the amended Corporation Tax Law. The effects of this change are minimal.
Additional information:

Software: Stated by straight line method based on the usable in-house life thereof.

The allowance is stated as the estimated expenses and losses expected to arise in the future with the restructuring of the business.
(e) | Allowance for employee retirement benefits |
In order to prepare for employee retirement benefits, the allowance is stated based on the expected amount of retirement benefit obligations as of the end of the corresponding consolidated fiscal year.
With respect to obligations for past work, the amounts apportioned on a straight line basis for a set number of years (usually six years) within the average remaining work period for employees as of the time of occurrence in the respective accounting years are treated as expenses. With respect to actuarial gains or losses, the amounts apportioned on a straight line basis for a set number of years (usually 12 years) within the average remaining work period for employees as of the time of occurrence in the respective accounting years are treated as expenses in the accounting years following the respective occurrences.
In addition, in preparation for the expenditure of retirement bonuses for executive officers, the allowance is stated as the end of term payment demands calculated under the officer retirement bonus rules.
(f) | Allowance for officer retirement bonuses |

This caused operating losses and ordinary losses to increase by 289 million yen, and caused net losses before taxes and net losses to increase by 2,623 million yen.
(5) | Standards for converting major foreign currency assets and liabilities into Japanese yen |
Foreign currency cash credits and obligations are converted into yen at the spot rate on the consolidated settlement date, and conversion variances are stated as gains or losses.

Loans: Stated by the interest method.
Revenues from liquidated receivables included in the operating revenues are recorded according to the above standard.
While the stating of revenues in the shopping loan division has primarily been conducted in 7 or 8 installments, the percentage of such revenues stated by the interest method increased due to the merger with DC Card Co., Ltd., and as such they are now primarily stated by interest method. The change had no effect on amounts.
(b) | Member store commissions: Stated as a lump sum upon the recognition of credits and obligations. |
Change in accounting treatment:
In the past, amounts were stated as lump sums upon the performance of the advance payment agreements with the member stores, but with the merger with DC Card Co., Ltd., the standards were standardized and changed to a lump sum statement of commissions upon the recognition of credits and obligations. The effect of this change was minimal.
(9) | Accounting treatment for consumption taxes |

8. | Changes to material matters serving as the basis for the preparation of consolidated financial statements |
Changes in grouping method for assets in accounting standards related to increases and decreases in fixed assets:
With the merger with DC Card Co., Ltd., the grouping of assets was changed from a grouping that included all assets related to the credit business as credit business assets to a grouping divided by management and accounting based on the respective units which continuously managed and controlled the revenues and expenditures. This change accompanied the selection of the business system in the merger and the implementation of the structural reform.
This change decreased operating losses and ordinary losses by 1,085 million yen and increased net losses before taxes and net losses by 4,174 million yen.

NOTES ON NON-CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Notes on Matters Related to Material Accounting Policies
1. | Valuation standards and methods for assets |
(1) | Securities |
Bonds held to maturity: Stated by amortized cost method (straight line basis)
Shares of subsidiaries and related companies: Stated by cost accounting method, cost being determined by the moving average method.
Other securities:
Securities with market values: Stated by market value method based on the market price as of the settlement date (appraisal differences are handled by the full capitalization method, and sales costs are calculated using the moving average method).
Securities without market values: Stated by cost accounting method, cost being determined by the moving average method.
(2) | Derivatives |
Stated by market value method.
2. | Depreciation methods for fixed assets |
(1) | Tangible fixed assets: Stated by straight line method |
Changes in accounting treatment:
With the revisions of the Corporation Tax Law (Law for Partial Amendment of the Income Tax Law, Etc. (Law No. 6 of March 30, 2007) and Cabinet Order for Partial Amendment of the Corporation Tax Law Enforcement Order (Cabinet Order No. 83 of March 30, 2007)), the tangible fixed assets acquired on and after April 1, 2007 have been changed over to the method under the amended Corporation Tax Law. The effects of this change are minimal.
Additional information:
Tangible fixed assets acquired prior to March 31, 2007 are depreciated equally over a period of five years from the consolidated fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the amortization is completed up to the depreciable amount. The effects of this change are minimal.
(2) | Intangible fixed assets |
Software: Stated by straight line method based on the usable in-house life thereof.
3. | Accounting method for deferred assets |
The costs of the share exchange will be charged in full upon the expenditure thereof.
4. | Standards for converting major foreign currency assets and liabilities into Japanese yen |
Foreign currency cash credits and obligations are converted into yen at the spot rate on the settlement date, and conversion variances are stated as gains or losses.
(Translation)
5. | Standards for recording major reserves |
(1) | Allowance for doubtful accounts |
To prepare for losses from doubtful receivables for installment sales receivable, guaranteed installment sales receivable and other receivables, an estimated uncollectible amount is stated using the doubtful receivables rate for general receivables, and by taking into consideration the ability to collect on doubtful receivables and other specific receivables.
(2) | Allowance for bonuses |
In order to prepare for the payment of employee bonuses, the allowance is stated as the amount of bonuses expected to be paid in the current fiscal year.
(3) | Point system allowance |
In order to prepare for the burden of expenses arising from the use of points granted to card members under a point system established for the purpose of promoting card use, the allowance states the amount of future use expected as of the end of the current fiscal year.
(4) | Allowance for losses from structural reforms |
The allowance is stated as the estimated expenses and losses expected to arise in the future with the restructuring of the business.
(5) | Allowance for employee retirement benefits |
In order to prepare for employee retirement benefits, the allowance is stated based on the expected amount of retirement benefit obligations as of the end of the corresponding fiscal year.
With respect to obligations for past work, the amounts apportioned on a straight line basis for a set number of years (usually six years) within the average remaining work period for employees as of the time of occurrence in the respective accounting years are treated as expenses. With respect to actuarial gains or losses, the amounts apportioned on a straight line basis for a set number of years (usually 12 years) within the average remaining work period for employees as of the time of occurrence in the respective accounting years are treated as expenses in the accounting years following the respective occurrences.
In addition, in preparation for the expenditure of retirement bonuses for executive officers, the allowance is stated as the end of term payment demands calculated under the officer retirement bonus rules.
(6) | Allowance for officer retirement bonuses |
In preparation for the expenditure of officer retirement bonuses, the allowance is stated as the end of term payment demands calculated under the officer retirement bonus rules.
(7) | Allowance for interest refund losses |
In order to prepare for future demands for the refund of interest, the allowance is stated as the amount required based on the actual past refund rate.
(Translation)
(8) | Allowance for the redemption of gift cards |
Gift cards are stated as revenues after the passage of a certain time period from the issuance thereof, and the allowance is stated as the amount required for future redemption-related expenditures based on the actual redemption rate.
Additional Information:
Since the monetary importance of these gift cards increased due to the merger with DC Card Co., Ltd., based on the announcement of the Handling of Audits Related to Reserves under the Special Tax Measures Law and Allowances, Reserves and Allowances for Office Retirement Bonuses under the Special Tax Measures Law (Report No. 42 of the Auditing and Assurance Practice Committee of the Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants dated April 13, 2007), the allowance states the estimated amount of losses which may occur in the future.
This caused operating losses and ordinary losses to increase by 289 million yen, and caused net losses before taxes and net losses to increase by 2,623 million yen.
6. | Standards for stating revenues |
(1) | Customer commissions: Stated on the date of arrival by the following various methods depending on business division: |
Credit cards: Stated primarily by the interest method.
Shopping loans: Stated primarily by the time of payment method, with 7 or 8 payments.
Credit guarantees: Stated primarily by the interest method.
Loans: Stated by the interest method.
Revenues from liquidated receivables included in the operating revenues are recorded according to the above standard.
While the stating of revenues in the shopping loan division has primarily been conducted in 7 or 8 installments, the percentage of such revenues stated by the interest method increased due to the merger with DC Card Co., Ltd., and as such they are now primarily stated by the interest method. The change had no effect on amounts.
(2) | Member store commissions: Stated as a lump sum upon the recognition of credits and obligations. |
Change in accounting treatment:
In the past, amounts were stated as lump sums upon the performance of the advance payment agreements with the member stores, but with the merger with DC Card Co., Ltd., the standards were standardized and changed to a lump sum statement of commissions upon the recognition of credits and obligations. The effect of this change was minimal.
7. | Accounting method for major lease transactions |
Finance leases other than those which allow title in the leased property to transfer to the lessee are accounted for in accordance with the standards related to ordinary lease transactions.
8. | Major hedge accounting methods |
(1) | Hedge accounting method: Deferred hedge accounting. Transactions satisfying the requirements for exceptional handling are handled as exceptions. |
(2) | Hedge means and hedge subject matter: Interest swap options for hedges targeting loans and exchange reservation transactions for hedges targeting foreign currency-based receivables. |
(3) | Hedge policies: Derivative transactions are used for the purpose of avoiding the risk of interest fluctuations related to the procurement of financing and the risk of exchange fluctuations associated with foreign currency-based assets and liabilities. |
(4) | Method for evaluating effectiveness of hedge: Evaluated by analysis of the ratio between hedge means and cash flow subject to hedge. |
(Translation)
9. | Accounting treatment for consumption taxes, etc. |
Consumption taxes and local consumption taxes are accounted for on a tax excluded basis. The consumption taxes and the like excluded from deductions related to fixed assets are stated as expenses in the fiscal year in which they are incurred.
10. | Matters related to amortization of goodwill and negative goodwill |
Goodwill and negative goodwill are amortized using the straight line method over the life of the effect thereof, up to 20 years. Monetarily insignificant amounts of goodwill are stated as a lump sum in the year they are incurred.
11. | Other material matters serving as the basis for the preparation of consolidated financial statements |
The Companys consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on the Standardization of Accounting Standards in the Credit Industry (Notice No. 60-291 issued by the Industrial Policy Bureau of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry).
12. | Changes to material accounting standards |
Changes in grouping method of assets in accounting standards related to increases and decreases in fixed assets:
With the merger with DC Card Co., Ltd., the grouping of assets was changed from a grouping that included all assets related to the credit business as credit business assets to a grouping divided by management and accounting based on the respective units which continuously managed and controlled the revenues and expenditures. This change accompanied the selection of the business system in the merger and the implementation of the structural reform.
This change decreased operating losses and ordinary losses by 1,085 million yen and increased net losses before taxes and net losses by 4,174 million yen.
13. | Change in statement methods |
(1) | Up until the preceding fiscal year Accounts payable, other were included in Other under current assets (with a balance of 32,217 million yen as of the end of the preceding fiscal year), but since the quantitative importance of these increased in the merger with DC Card Co., Ltd., they are stated separately in the current fiscal year. |
(2) | Short term loans to affiliate companies, which were stated separately up through the preceding fiscal year (with a balance of 51 million yen as of the end of the preceding fiscal year) lost their quantitative importance, and as such they are included in Other current assets in the current fiscal year. |

3. | Loss on impairment |
As a result of the reassessment of the profitability of the various asset groups, and with no hope of recovering the investment amount, a loss on impairment of 5,260 million yen was recorded on a portion of the assets for business received by outsourcing among the respective business assets.
In addition, for a portion of welfare benefit facilities and the like which were rendered idle assets through the suspension of the use thereof, a loss on impairment of 1,346 million yen was recorded due to a large drop in land values.

The grouping units were divided by management and accounting based on the respective units which continuously managed and controlled the revenues and expenditures.
The calculation of recoverable amount was determined based on the use value of the assets for the business received by outsourcing, and calculated by discounting the future cash flow by 5.04%. In addition, idle assets were determined by their net sales price, and the calculation method of the market price deducted the expected costs of disposition from the net sales price using real estate appraisal standards and the like.
4. | Transfer on allowance for losses from structural reform |
The expenses incurred with the implementation of the restructuring of business under the New Medium-Term Business Plan announced on September 20, 2007 and the expenses and losses expected to be incurred in the future in connection therewith, primarily consist of the expenses associated with the early retirement benefits system, the transfer of the installment credit sales business, the consolidation of business locations, and the reorganization of NICOS affiliates and the like.

Of the foregoing total, 135 million yen was for buildings, 2 million yen was for structures, 2 million yen was for machinery and equipment, and 473 million yen was for land. The calculation of recoverable amount was determined by the net sales price, and the calculation method of the market price deducted the expected costs of disposition from the net sales price using real estate appraisal standards and the like.

3. | Summary of Matters Listed under Each Item of Article 184, Paragraph 1 of the Enforcement Regulations of the Company Law of Japan |
(1) | Fairness of the Consideration Paid in the Share Exchange |
| Fairness of the Total Consideration and Calculation Methods |
In order to ensure the fairness and appropriateness of the Share Exchange Ratio in the Share Exchange with MUFG to be held on August 1, 2008, we selected KPMG FAS Co., Ltd. (hereinafter KPMG) as a third-party institution to perform the Share Exchange Ratio calculations. We received a written opinion (hereinafter the Opinion) from KPMG on May 26, 2008 that, based on and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth below, the Share Exchange Ratio was fair to the holders of Common Stock (other than MUFG and its affiliates) from a financial
KPMG analyzed our historical stock prices as well as those of MUFG (the measurement being based on a calculation date of May 23, 2008, and using the average closing prices for the 3-day period prior to the calculation date (May 21, 2008May 23, 2008), the 1-month period prior to the calculation date (April 24, 2008May 23, 2008), the 3-month period prior to the calculation date (February 25, 2008May 23, 2008), and the 6-month period prior to the calculation date (November 26, 2007May 23, 2008), as well as the average closing prices for the 1-month period prior to the announcement of the basic agreement on September 20, 2007 (August 20, 2007September 19, 2007)). KPMG also used other methods of analysis such as the dividend discount model (DDM) to calculate the Share Exchange Ratio for the common stock. To calculate the Share Exchange Ratio for the Class 1 stock, KPMG analyzed the historical stock prices as described above and used the tree-based method to analyze the value of the Class 1 stock and calculate a Share Exchange Ratio. KPMG took these results into consideration and presented to the Company its opinions regarding the Share Exchange Ratio for the common stock.
The ranges of valuations that KPMG calculated using the results of each analysis are shown below.
a. | The calculated range for the Share Exchange Ratio based on the analysis of historical stock prices was 0.2840.389 shares of our common stock for each MUFG share. |
b. | The calculated range for the Share Exchange Ratio based on the DDM methods was 0.2590.370 shares of our common stock for each MUFG share. |
In preparing its Opinion and the calculations behind it, KPMG assumed and relied on the accuracy and completeness of all information supplied or otherwise made available to it by both companies, and KPMG did not undertake any responsibility to independently verify such information, nor has it undertaken any independent evaluation or appraisal of any assets or liabilities of either company, nor has it been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal.
With respect to the financial forecast information furnished to or discussed with KPMG by us as well as MUFG, KPMG assumed that it was reasonably prepared and reflected the best currently available estimates and judgment of our management as well as MUFGs management as to our expected future financial performance as well as that of MUFG. KPMGs Opinion was based upon market, economic, and other conditions as they existed and could be evaluated as of, and on the information made available to KPMG as of, May 23, 2008.
Our Board of Directors entered into a Share Exchange Agreement containing the following Share Exchange Ratio at its board meeting on May 28, 2008, as a result of negotiations and discussions with MUFG making reference to analyses of the calculations described above.
(Translation)
MUFG (Parent company) |
Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS (Wholly owned subsidiary) | |||||
Stock |
Common stock | Common stock | Class 1 stock | |||
Share exchange ratio |
1 | 0.37 | 1.39 |
(Notes) | 1. | In the Share Exchange, MUFG will issue to our shareholders (including the beneficial shareholders, excluding MUFG), in exchange for their common shares or Class 1 shares, the amount of MUFG shares equal to the aggregate number of common shares or Class 1 shares held as of the day preceding the effective date (the effective date being August 1, 2008 (tentative)) by all shareholders entered or recorded in our final shareholders register (including the beneficial shareholders register) multiplied by 0.37 for common shares or 1.39 for Class 1 shares. The common stock received by our shareholders from MUFG is expected to come from treasury stock rather than an issuance of new shares. Where one of our shareholders is to receive a fraction of an MUFG common share in the Share Exchange, such shareholder will instead receive cash compensation under Article 234 of the Company Law of Japan. | ||
2. | For each share of our common stock, shareholders will receive 0.37 shares of MUFG common stock, and for each share of our Class 1 stock, shareholders will receive 1.39 shares of MUFG common stock. MUFG presently owns 400,000,000 shares of our common stock, but will receive no allocation of stock in the Share Exchange for the shares it owns as of the day preceding the effective date (the effective date being August 1, 2008 (tentative)). | |||
3. | The content above is subject to change by agreement between MUFG and the Company in the event of a material change in the basic assumptions underlying the calculations. |
KPMG is not a related party of the Company, nor is it a related party of MUFG.
| Reason for Selecting MUFG Common Stock as Consideration |
MUFGs common stock is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the Osaka Stock Exchange, the Nagoya Stock Exchange, and the New York Stock Exchange, and in order to preserve liquidity and allow our shareholders to enjoy the future benefits from improvements in our corporate value, we decided that MUFG common stock was appropriate consideration in the Share Exchange.
| Protection of Minority Shareholders |
(i) | Measures to Ensure Fairness |
As a measure to ensure a fair and appropriate Share Exchange Ratio, as explained in section (1) above, we referred to calculations by a separate and independent third-party institution. We decided on the Share Exchange Ratio for the Share Exchange as a result of negotiations and discussions with MUFG making reference to analyses of the calculations of the third-party institution. We have also received a written Opinion from KPMG to the effect that the Share Exchange Ratio is fair to our minority shareholders from a financial perspective. Furthermore, as explained in subsection (ii) below, an Independent Evaluation Committee was established by our Board of Directors to review the fairness of the Share Exchange Ratio, and the Committees opinion was given the utmost importance in determining the Share Exchange Ratio.
(Translation)
(ii) | Measures to Avoid Conflicts of Interest |
Because the Share Exchange will be carried out by the Company and MUFG, which owns 75.77% of our voting rights, we determined that special procedures were necessary to protect our minority shareholders and ensure fairness in the Share Exchange.
Specifically, an Independent Evaluation Committee consisting of one outside director (Noboru Matsuda, attorney-at-law) and two outside experts (Shinichi Kasahara, attorney-at-law, and Eiji Asada, CPA) was formed at our board meeting on November 8, 2007, and the Committee reviewed (1) whether the Share Exchange improves our corporate value, (2) whether the consideration (the Share Exchange Ratio) was fair, and (3) whether shareholder interests were taken into consideration through fair procedures.
The Independent Evaluation Committee met 10 times during the period between February 25, 2008 and May 27, 2008 and carefully discussed the above review items with our outside advisors (legal advisor: Nishimura & Asahi, accounting and tax advisor: KPMG AZSA & Co., third-party appraiser: KPMG) in attendance. The Independent Evaluation Committee received explanations from representatives of the Company and the outside experts regarding the influence of the Share Exchange on our corporate value, the methods and procedures for calculating the Share Exchange Ratio, the content of the Share Exchange Agreement, the state of negotiation of the Share Exchange Agreement, including the Share Exchange Ratio, and other matters relating to the Share Exchange. The Committee also reviewed the calculations and analysis that we received from KPMG, the advice we received from the outside advisors, and other data we received, and confirmed the content of KPMGs Opinion on the Share Exchange Ratio. As a result of its discussions, the Committee presented the following opinions in writing at the our board meeting on May 27, 2008: (1) it is reasonable to determine that the Share Exchange would improve our corporate value, (2) it is reasonable to determine that the Share Exchange Ratio is fair, and (3) it is reasonable to determine that shareholder interests were considered in the Share Exchange through fair procedures.
In the board meeting on May 28, 2008 after careful deliberation regarding the fairness of the terms and procedures of the Share Exchange in which the board reviewed the opinion of the Independent Evaluation Committee, our Board of Directors unanimously approved the decision to enter into the Share Exchange Agreement.
Tadachiyo Osada, one of our directors and a corporate officer at MUFG and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, had potential conflicts of interest regarding the Share Exchange because of his positions on the MUFG side.

Request for Acquisition of Class 8 Preferred Shares
Any Class 8 Preferred Shareholder may request acquisition of Class 8 Preferred Shares during the period in which such Preferred Shareholder is entitled to request acquisition as provided for in Paragraph 1 of this Attachment, in exchange for Ordinary Shares of the Company in the number as is calculated by the formula provided for in Paragraph 2 and 3 of this Attachment.
1. | Period during which Preferred Shareholders are Entitled to Request Acquisition |
On and after the issuance date of the Class 8 Preferred Shares to and including July 31, 2008
2. | Number of Ordinary Shares to be Delivered in Exchange for Acquisition |
The number of the Ordinary Shares to be delivered in exchange for acquisition of Class 8 Preferred Shares shall be as follows:
Number of the Ordinary Shares to be delivered in exchange for acquisition |
= | Number of the Class 8 Preferred Shares requested for acquisition by their holders |
X 3,000 yen |
|||||
Acquisition price |
In the calculation of the number of the Ordinary Shares to be delivered in exchange for the acquisition, such number shall be calculated by rounding up to the nearest tenth whole number. In the calculation of the number of Ordinary Shares provided for above, if any shares less than one (1) unit are yielded, a request for purchase of such fractional unit shares shall be deemed to be exercised and an amount of cash equivalent to the value of such fractional unit shares shall be paid.
3. | Acquisition Price and Other Conditions |
a. | Initial Acquisition Price |
The initial acquisition price shall be one million six hundred ninety-three thousand five hundred (1,693,500) yen.
b. | Reset of Acquisition Price |
The acquisition price shall be reset on August 1, 2006 and August 1, 2007 (each, hereinafter referred to as the Reset Date) to the amount obtained by multiplying the average daily closing price (including closing bids or offered prices) of the Ordinary Shares of the Company (in regular trading) as reported by the Tokyo Stock Exchange for the thirty (30) consecutive trading days (excluding a trading day or days on which no closing price or closing bid or offered price is reported) commencing on the forty-fifth (45th) trading day prior to the relevant Reset Date by 1.025 (calculated by rounding up to the first decimal place when the fraction is equal to or more than 0.05 yen, discarding amounts less than 0.05 yen); provided, however, that if the acquisition price so calculated is less than one million six hundred ninety-three thousand and five hundred (1,693,500) yen (subject to any adjustment in accordance with c. below) (hereinafter referred to as the Acquisition Floor Price), the acquisition price shall be equal to the Acquisition Floor Price. If, during the above-described forty-five (45) trading day period, any event has occurred which would require an adjustment in accordance with c. below, the average price above shall be adjusted in a manner consistent with c. below.
(Translation)
c. | Adjustment of Acquisition Price |
(a) | After the issuance of the Class 8 Preferred Shares, the acquisition price (including the Acquisition Floor Price) will be adjusted in accordance with the following formula (hereinafter referred to as the Acquisition Price Adjustment Formula) in the event any of the items set forth below occurs; provided, however, that if the acquisition price when adjusted in accordance with the Acquisition Price Adjustment Formula is less than one hundred (100) yen, the acquisition price after adjustment shall be one hundred (100) yen. |

(i) | In the event that the Company issues Ordinary Shares or transfers Ordinary Shares held by the Company at a subscription price less than the current market price to be used in the Acquisition Price Adjustment Formula (except for any acquisition of securities (interests) which will be acquired by the Company in exchange for the Ordinary Shares or securities (interests) which will be caused by the holder of such securities (interests) to be acquired by the Company in exchange for the Ordinary Shares, or the exercise of stock acquisition rights): |
The acquisition price after adjustment shall become effective as of the date immediately following the payment date or the last date of the payment period, or as of the date immediately following the record date (if set) for the issuance or the transfer of such Ordinary Shares to shareholders.
(ii) | In the event that the Company splits Ordinary Shares or conducts free allotment of Ordinary Shares (including those in which the Company transfers its own shares): |
The acquisition price after adjustment shall become effective as of the date immediately following the record date set for the stock split or free allotment of such Ordinary Shares.
However, if the Board of Directors of the Company determines that the stock split or free allotment of Ordinary Shares (including the cases in which the Company transfers its own shares) thereby shall be effected by an increase of stated capital by virtue of the reduction of the amount of surplus and the record date set for the stock split or free allotment of such Ordinary Shares to shareholders falls on or prior to the date of the closing of the relevant ordinary general meeting of shareholders held to approve the increase of the stated capital, the acquisition price after adjustment shall become effective as of the date immediately following the date on which the ordinary general meeting of shareholders approving such increase is concluded.
(Translation)
(iii) | In the event that the Company issues (including free allotment) securities (interests) which will be acquired by the Company in exchange for the Ordinary Shares or the stock acquisition rights to acquire Ordinary Shares, or securities (interests) which will be caused by the holder of such securities (interests) to be acquired by the Company in exchange for the Ordinary Shares, or the stock acquisition rights to acquire Ordinary Shares (including the bonds with stock acquisition rights), in either case, at a price less than the current market price to be applied to the Acquisition Price Adjustment Formula: |
The acquisition price after adjustment shall become effective as of the date immediately following the payment date or the last date of the payment period of such securities (interests) or as of the date immediately following the record date (if set) for the issuance or the issuance of such securities (interests) to shareholders, on the assumption that all such securities (interests) are acquired or all the stock acquisition rights are exercised on the payment date or the last date of the payment period of such securities (interests) or at the close of the record date set for the issuance of such securities (interests), as the case may be.
(b) | In addition to the events set forth above, if an adjustment of the acquisition price (including the Acquisition Floor Price) is required by virtue of any amalgamation or merger, capital reduction, or consolidation of Ordinary Shares, etc., the acquisition price shall be adjusted to such price as the Board of Directors of the Company determines appropriate. |
(c) | The Current market price per share in the Acquisition Price Adjustment Formula means the average daily closing price (including closing bids or offered prices) of Ordinary Shares of the Company (in regular trading) as reported by the Tokyo Stock Exchange for the thirty (30) consecutive trading days (excluding a trading day or days on which no closing price or closing bid or offered price is reported) commencing on the forty-fifth (45th) trading day prior to the date on which the acquisition price after adjustment becomes effective (or, in the case as provided for in the proviso of c. (a) (ii) above, the record date set for the stock split or free allotment of Ordinary Shares to shareholders), calculated by rounding up to the nearest first decimal place when the fraction is equal to or more than 0.05 yen, discarding amounts less than 0.05 yen. |
If any of the events of adjustment of acquisition price as set forth in c. (a) or (b) above occurs during the above forty-five (45) trading day period, the average price above shall be adjusted in a manner consistent with c. (a) or (b) above.
(d) | The Acquisition price before adjustment in the Acquisition Price Adjustment Formula means the acquisition price in effect on the date immediately preceding the date on which the acquisition price after adjustment becomes effective, and the Number of Ordinary Shares already issued in the Acquisition Price Adjustment. |
Formula means the number of Ordinary Shares of the Company issued and outstanding (excluding the number of Ordinary Shares held by the Company) on the record date (if set) for the issuance, transfer, stock split or free allotment to shareholders, or if such date is not set, on the date one (1) calendar month prior to the date on which the acquisition price after adjustment is to become effective.
(Translation)
(e) | The Subscription price per share in the Acquisition Price Adjustment Formula means (1) in the event that the Company issues or transfers Ordinary Shares with a subscription price less than the current market price as set forth in c. (a) (i) above, such subscription price (in the event that payment thereof is made by any consideration other than cash, the fair value of such consideration), (2) in the event that the Company splits Ordinary Shares or conducts free allotment of Ordinary Shares as set forth in c. (a) (ii) above (including those in which the Company transfers its own shares), zero, and (3) in the event that the Company issues (including free allotment) securities (interests) which will be acquired by the Company in exchange for the Ordinary Shares or the stock acquisition rights to acquire Ordinary Shares, securities (interests) which will be caused by the holder of such securities (interests) to be acquired by the Company in exchange for the Ordinary Shares, or the stock acquisition rights to acquire Ordinary Shares (including the bonds with stock acquisition rights) at a price less than the current market price as set forth in c. (a) (iii) above, the relevant acquisition or exercise price. |
(f) | The result of the calculation by the Acquisition Price Adjustment Formula shall be rounded up to the nearest first decimal place when the fraction is equal to or more than 0.05 yen, discarding amounts less than 0.05 yen. |
(g) | In the event that the difference between the acquisition price after adjustment calculated by the Acquisition Price Adjustment Formula and the acquisition price before adjustment is less than one (1) yen, no adjustment shall be made; provided, however, that if any event occurs thereafter that would require adjustment of the acquisition price, when calculating the acquisition price, such difference shall be deducted from the acquisition price before adjustment in the Acquisition Price Adjustment Formula. |

(1) | Course of Business and Performance Results of the Group |
A. | Main Business of the Corporate Group |
The MUFG Group comprises the Holding Company, 246 subsidiaries (of which 171 are consolidated), as well as 44 affiliates. The Group is engaged in the banking business, trust banking business, securities business, credit card business, and other types of financial business.
B. | Financial and Economic Environment |
With respect to the economic and financial environment for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, uncertainty about the outlook for overseas economy, especially the United States economy, rapidly increased. The U.S. economy has further decelerated since the beginning of this year due to a turmoil in the financial markets triggered by the collapse of the housing bubble and the subprime crisis, while European economy has shown clear signs of slowdown. In contrast, economies of the emerging countries such as Chinese economy sustained high growth. In the meanwhile, the Japanese economy showed a moderate slowdown underpinned by its continuous strong exports to emerging countries. However, private consumption grew at a sluggish pace due to weakness of wage growth. Towards the end of the fiscal year, business confidence rapidly worsened and uncertainty about corporate performance downturn increased because of a slowdown of overseas economy as well as a steep rise of raw materials and fuel prices. The rate of increase in consumer price index was accelerated towards the end of the fiscal year mainly due to the soaring oil prices.
(Translation)
Looking at the financial environment, the U.S. federal funds target rate has been lowered by 3.0 percent to 2.25 percent in total since last fall in response to the subprime crisis, and on the other hand, the European Central Bank kept its key interest rate unchanged at 4.0 percent due to the strong concern about inflation in Europe. The Bank of Japan also kept its uncollateralized overnight call rate target unchanged at 0.5 percent. Although Long-term interest rates rose last summer, they have been in a downward trend with some fluctuations. In the foreign exchange market, the yen rapidly appreciated against the dollar reflecting concerns over the slowdown of the U.S. economy and expectations for interest rate cuts caused by the subprime crisis.
C. | Course of Business and Performance Results of the Group |
(For the fiscal 2007 settlement)
In the midst of such business environment, consolidated ordinary profits for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 were ¥1,029.0 billion and consolidated net income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 was ¥636.6 billion. Standalone results for the Company showed ordinary profits of ¥491.7 billion, with net income for the term of ¥416.8 billion.
Consolidated profits decreased by ¥214 billion from the previous year due to factors such as market turmoil due to the subprime crisis and changes in the regulatory environment, settling at ¥3,512.7 billion. At the same time, as a result of the increase in operating costs of ¥41.7 in comparison with the previous year due to the costs of systems integration and strengthening of internal controls, consolidated net operating profits sank by ¥255.8 billion in comparison with the previous year, settling at ¥1,396.9 billion. In addition to taking hits due to a worsening stock-related income and in an increase in credit expenses, the special loss posted for the restructuring of the business of Mitsubishi UFJ Nicos contributed to a decrease of ¥244.3 billion from the previous fiscal year for consolidated net income, resulting in the aforementioned ¥636.6 billion.
Also, consolidated loans and bills discounted increased by ¥3,706.8 billion from March 31, 2007 to ¥88,538.8 billion mainly due to increase in lending volume at overseas offices. Deposits increased by ¥2,598.6 billion from the previous fiscal year due to an increase in individual deposits and deposits at overseas branches, reaching ¥121,307.3 billion.

<Retail Group>
The Retail Group has been working to expand its offerings of new products and services, in order to meet the diverse financial needs of its customers. In May 2007, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. partnered with The Walt Disney Japan Ltd. in offering a new service, Disney Wallet Plus, accessible on PCs and mobile phones. Also, a new type of card loan guaranteed by ACOM CO., LTD., Bank Quick, went on sale in November 2007, further shoring up efforts in the area of consumer finance. Meanwhile, as a result of the total lifting of the ban on sales of insurance by banks, mortality insurance, health insurance, and cancer insurance began being handled at bank counters beginning in December 2007.
The Retail Groups net operating income was ¥371.1 billion in the current fiscal year, a decline of ¥9.40 billion from the previous fiscal year. Although the revenue from kabu.com Securities Co., Ltd., which became a consolidated subsidiary in the current fiscal year, was reflected in the Retail Groups revenues, profitability declined due to the reduction of the maximum allowable rate at Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS Co., Ltd. in accordance with new regulations. In addition, revenues from sales of financial products declined against the background of a weak stock market.

<Corporate Group>
The Corporate Group has enhanced its system for offering a fuller range of services by, for example, establishing a new branch of The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. in Nagano, and changing over 22 locations throughout Japan into branches specialized in serving the needs of small- to mid-size companies. Also, in September 2007, Mitsubishi UFJ Securities Co., Ltd. was a made a full subsidiary, with the goal of bringing its securities and investment bank business to the next level, and to strengthen the Corporate & Investment Banking strategy with banking and securities business. Overseas, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ business centers located in mainland China incorporated locally in July 2007. The overseas business center network also continued to expand with the new construction of Middle East offices in Dubai and an increase of the status of the overseas representative office in Guangzhou, China. In addition, strategic investment and tie-in efforts continued apace through, for example, additional investment in the CIMB Group of Malaysia.
The Corporate Groups net operating income was ¥848.9 billion in the current fiscal year, a decline of ¥159.8 billion from the previous fiscal year. The main causes of the drop in net operating profits were slack revenues from securities and investment banking and a decline in profits due to a drop in revenues from US subsidiary UnionBanCal Corporation, while expenses increased in conjunction with improvements made to compliance systems both in Japan and overseas.

<Trust Assets Group>
The Trust Assets Group continued to make efforts to improve results and develop new products. In the corporate pension area, alternative fixed benefit-type pension products (investment products focusing new investment targets and methods, such as hedge funds and real estate investment) were strengthened, with efforts centered on Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation. In the area of defined contribution pensions as well, Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation and Mitsubishi UFJ Asset Management Co., Ltd. jointly developed investment products that interlock with short-term interest rates for automatic asset allocation (Nickname: DC Automa-kun). In the investment trust area, Mitsubishi UFJ Asset Management Co., Ltd. began offering investment trusts built around environmental and resource themes, such as the Global Warming Problem and Water Resources. At the 2008 R&I Fund Awards, five Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation fixed benefit pension funds, three Mitsubishi UFJ Asset Management Co., Ltd. investment trust funds, and one KOKUSAI Asset Management Co., Ltd. fund received awards as top-performing funds.
(Translation)
Despite the severe market environment in the second half of the fiscal year, the net operating profits of the Trust Assets Group increased by ¥9.6 billion from the previous year, reaching ¥100 billion. While assets under investment and assets under management both declined from the previous year as of year end, the level of assets managed of ¥30 trillion, the highest figure in the industry, was maintained.

D. | Issues to be addressed |
The MUFG aims to be a premier, comprehensive, global financial group strongly supported by customers and society. In FY2007, the Group engaged in full-scale efforts to strengthen internal controls, which are the foundation necessary to customer transaction security. The MUFG is fully aware of the highly public nature of financial institutions, and in the future, will endeavor to further reinforce and enhance our framework, aiming to strengthen compliance.
In addition to strengthening compliance, the Group is also focusing on the following key issues:
(Pursuit of growth strategies)
The MUFG positions Retail, Corporate and Trust Assets as its three core businesses, and is developing its growth strategies with a focus on these areas. We are allocating business resources particularly to the Retail business, in which further market growth is expected. In the Corporate business, we are using the opportunity of Mitsubishi UFJ Securities Co., Ltd. becoming a wholly owned subsidiary at the end of September 2007 to further strengthen ties between the bank and the securities company and enable us to provide more advanced services. Furthermore, we will strive to expand our earnings base by pursuing a strategy that includes making investments and alliances, focusing particularly on Asia, where continued growth is expected.
Our capital policy for supporting our growth strategies is to raise the value of MUFG by achieving a balance between using capital to strengthen profitability and ensure growth, increasing equity capital, and enhancing returns to shareholders. For equity capital we are aiming to maintain an equity capital ratio of 12% and targeting a Tier 1 ratio of 8%. With regard to returns to shareholders, we will strive to increase dividends in a sustainable manner, and we will also continue working to increase the dividend payout ratio to more than 20% of consolidated net income.
(Completion of transfer to new systems)
MUFG Group fully recognizes the important social responsibility it must fulfill with regard to transferring to the new systems at its group banks, and the major impact this will have on its services to customers and the financial system, and we have devoted our efforts to preparing for a safe and reliable systems transfer.
In May 2008, intergation of core systems was completed at Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation, and within The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ transfer to the new systems was also completed at former Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi branches. Changeover to the new system is scheduled to be carried out sequentially at former branches of UFJ Bank between July and December 2008. We shall strive to avoid inconveniencing customers during that period. By making the full transition to the new system we aim to realize steady service improvements and cost synergy.
(Translation)
(Promoting CSR and strengthening the brand)
The MUFG implements management emphasizing improvement of the superior CS (customer service) that the MUFG brand stands for, and fulfillment of our CSR (corporate social responsibilities).
The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJs CS-improvement strategy included formulating its 10 Promises to Customers in August 2007, with the goal of creating a thorough customer-oriented way of thinking. In addition, it continued to advance its policy of creating facilities that are easily accessed by both the elderly and the physically-challenged. The Groups CSR activities include working to expand SRI (Socially Responsible Investing), the financing of environmental businesses, and emissions trading, with the goal of contributing to society in the conduct of our primary business, finance. In addition, the Group makes social contribution efforts through means other than finance, such as the establishment of the Job Shadow program in July 2007, which is intended to provide hands-on work experience for young people.
We shall continue to build the MUFG brand so as to gain the understanding and support of society, maintaining the goals stated in our motto of No. 1 in service, No. 1 in reliability, and No. 1 in global coverage.
Our Group seeks to increase shareholder value through our efforts to deal with the key issues described above. We firmly hope that by doing so we can bring shareholder support to an even higher level.

Buildings: |
15 years to 50 years | |
Equipment: |
2 years to 20 years |
Depreciation for tangible fixed assets of other consolidated subsidiaries is computed primarily under the straight-line method based on their estimated useful lives.
(Changes in accounting policies)
Depreciation for tangible fixed assets acquired as of April 1, 2007, other than buildings (excluding fixtures attached to the buildings) of a domestic consolidated banking subsidiary, is computed in accordance with the Corporate Tax Law as amended by the FY 2007 Tax Reform.
Also, the domestic consolidated banking subsidiary has re-examined its accounting treatment for the residual value of its buildings (excluding fixtures attached to buildings), based on historical and other date related to its disposition of buildings in accordance with the FY 2007 Tax Reform and determined that the residual value should be adjusted to a nominal amount. As a result of this re-examination, starting this fiscal year, the amended declining-balance method, under which buildings, regardless of the date of their acquisition, are depreciated to a nominal value at the end of their useful lives, as set forth in the Corporate Tax Law, is used as the new computation method for depreciation for buildings of the domestic consolidated banking subsidiary.
This change resulted in a ¥11,135 million increase in general and administrative expenses and a decrease of the same amount respectively in ordinary profits and income before taxes and other adjustments.
(Additional information)
The residual value of tangible fixed assets acquired on or prior to March 31, 2007, other than the domestic consolidated banking subsidiarys buildings (excluding fixtures attached to buildings), is depreciated over 5 years by the straight-line method starting in the fiscal year immediately following the fiscal year in which the cumulative amount of depreciation has reached 95% of the acquisition cost.

For claims on borrowers that are not yet legally or formally bankrupt but deemed to have a high possibility of becoming bankrupt (potentially bankrupt borrowers) excluding a portion of which principal and interest payment can be reasonably estimated from borrowers cash flows, allowances are provided based on an overall solvency assessment of the claims, net of expected amounts to be collected through the disposal of collateral and the execution of guarantees. For claims on potentially bankrupt borrowers and claims on borrowers requiring close monitoring, of which principal and interest payment can be reasonably estimated from borrowers cash flows, allowances are provided in an amount equal to the difference between the book value of the claims and the fair value of principal and interest, which is calculated using estimated cash flows discounted at the initial contractual interest rates.
For other claims, allowances are provided based on historical credit loss experience. For claims originated in specific foreign countries, additional allowances are provided based on an assessment of political and economic conditions of these countries.
All claims are assessed by branches and the credit supervision departments in accordance with the internal standards for self-assessment of asset quality. The credit review department, which is independent from those operating sections, subsequently audits these assessments. The allowances presented above reflect these internally audited assessments.
Note that for claims on bankrupt borrowers and substantially bankrupt borrowers, the amount of claims exceeding the estimated value of collateral or guarantees, that is deemed uncollectible, has been written-off. The total amount of write-offs is ¥691,894 million.

(18) | Hedge accounting |
(A) Hedge accounting for interest rate risks
Domestic consolidated banking subsidiaries and domestic consolidated trust banking subsidiaries have adopted the deferred hedge accounting method for hedging transactions for interest rate risks arising from monetary assets and liabilities. Individual hedging or portfolio hedging, as described in the Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants Industry Audit Committee Report No.24, Treatment of Accounting and Auditing of Application of Accounting Standard for Financial Instruments in Banking Industry (February 13, 2002) and JICPA Accounting Committee Report No.14, Practical Guidelines for Accounting for Financial Instruments (January 31, 2000), are primarily applied to determine hedged items.
With respect to hedging transactions to offset fluctuations in the fair value of fixed rate deposits, loans and other instruments, hedging instruments (e.g. interest rate swaps) are designated to hedged items individually or collectively by their maturities in accordance with Industry Audit Committee Report No.24. With respect to hedging transactions to offset fluctuations in fair value of fixed rate bonds classified as other securities, hedging instruments (e.g. interest rate swaps) are designated to hedged items collectively by the type of bond. Since material terms related to hedged items and hedging instruments are substantially identical, and such hedging transactions are deemed highly effective, the assessment of effectiveness is based on the similarity of the terms.
(Translation)
With respect to hedging transactions to fix the cash flows related to floating rate deposits and loans as well as short-term fixed rate deposits, loans and other instruments, hedging instruments (e.g. interest rate swaps) are designated to hedged items collectively by interest rate indices and tenors in accordance with Industry Audit Committee Report No.24. Since material terms related to hedged items and hedging instruments are substantially identical, and such hedging transactions are deemed highly effective, the assessment of effectiveness is based on the similarity of the terms. The effectiveness of hedging transactions is also assessed by verifying the correlation between hedged items and hedging instruments.
As of the end of the 2002 fiscal year, deferred hedge losses and gains were recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as a result of the application of macro hedge accounting based on JICPA Industry Audit Committee Report No.15 Tentative Treatment for Accounting and Auditing in Adoption of Accounting Standards for Banking Industry (February 15, 2000), under which the overall interest rate risks arising from numerous deposits, loans and other instruments are hedged collectively by derivative transactions. These losses and gains are amortized as expense or income over the remaining lives of the macro hedging instruments (for a maximum period of 15 years from April 1, 2003). Deferred hedge losses and gains attributable to macro hedge accounting as of March 31, 2008 are ¥25,715 million (before tax effect adjustment) and ¥41,677 million (before tax effect adjustment), respectively.
(B) Hedge accounting for foreign currency risks
Domestic consolidated banking subsidiaries and domestic consolidated trust banking subsidiaries have adopted the deferred hedge accounting method for hedging transactions for foreign currency risks arising from monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Portfolio hedging is applied to determine hedged items as described in JICPA Industry Audit Committee Report No. 25 Treatment of Accounting and Auditing concerning Accounting for Foreign Currency Transactions in the Banking Industry (July 29, 2002). Hedging instruments (e.g. currency swaps and forward exchange contracts) are designated to hedged items collectively by currencies.
Domestic consolidated banking subsidiaries and domestic consolidated trust banking subsidiaries have adopted deferred hedge accounting method for hedging transactions for foreign currency risks arising from investments in subsidiaries denominated in foreign currencies while adopting the fair value hedge accounting method for hedging transactions for foreign currency risks arising from foreign securities (other than bonds). Portfolio hedging and individual hedging are applied to determine hedged items. Liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and forward exchange contracts are used as hedging instruments.
(C) Transactions among consolidated companies
Derivative transactions, including interest rate swaps and currency swaps which are designated as hedging instruments, among consolidated companies or between trading accounts and other accounts (or among internal sections) are not eliminated from the consolidated statements of income and related gains and losses are recognized or deferred under hedge accounting because these derivative transactions are executed, meeting certain criteria under JICPA Industry Audit Committee Reports No.24 and No.25 to be regarded as equivalent to external third party transactions.
(19) | Consumption taxes |
National and local consumption taxes are excluded from transaction amounts. Non-deductible portions of consumption taxes on the purchases of tangible fixed assets are expensed when incurred.
(Translation)
Changes in Significant Accounting Policies Applied in the Preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Accounting Policy for Financial Instruments)
ASBJ Accounting Standard No.10 Accounting Standard for Financial Instruments and JICPA Accounting Committee Report No.14, Practical Guidelines for Accounting for Financial Instruments were revised on June 15, 2007 and July 4, 2007, respectively. The accounting standard and the practical guidelines are applicable to fiscal years and interim periods ending on or after the date of enactment of the above, and MUFG adopted the revised Accounting Standard and Practical Guidelines starting from this fiscal year. The revisions do not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements.
(Changes in the grouping method for recognition and measurement of impairment losses on fixed assets)
Upon its merger with DC Card Co., Ltd., Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS Co., Ltd., a consolidated subsidiary of MUFG, changed its grouping method for recognition and measurement of impairment losses on fixed assets. Assets related to the credit card business, which were previously grouped as one unit, were grouped into smaller business units which are consistent with the ongoing management and monitoring under the internal managerial accounting. This change was as a result of the operating system improvements and business restructuring following the merger. This change resulted in a ¥1,085 million increase in ordinary profits and a ¥4,174 million decrease in income before income taxes and others.
(Changes in Presentation Method)
(Consolidated Income Statements)
The forms appended to the Banking Law Enforcement Regulations (Ministry of Finance Ordinance No. 10, 1982) were revised by the Cabinet Office Ordinance to Amend Part of Banking Law Enforcement Regulations (Cabinet Office Ordinance No. 60, August 8, 2007), effective of September 30, 2007. In accordance with the revision, starting in the current fiscal year, reserve for contingent liabilities from financial futures transactions and reserve for contingent liabilities from securities transactions, which were previously included in Extraordinary losses, are presented in the consolidated statements of income as included in Reserve for contingent liabilities from financial instruments transactions.

Notes on Significant Accounting Policies
1. Valuation standard and method for marketable securities
The valuation standard and valuation method for marketable securities that have the same character as deposits from among other marketable securities is according to the cost method determined by the moving average method.
The valuation standard and valuation method for the stock of subsidiaries and affiliated companies is according to the cost method determined by the moving average method.
2. Depreciation method for fixed assets
(1) Tangible fixed assets
A declining balance method is used. The primary useful lives are as noted below.
Buildings: |
10 years to 15 years | |
Tools and equipment: |
4 years to 10 years |
(Significant changes in accounting policies)
Regarding the method for amortization of tangible fixed assets
Accompanying the revision to the Corporate Tax Law on the basis of legislation partially revising the Income Tax Act (Law No. 6 dated March 30, 2007) and a government ordinance partially revising the Income Tax Act Enforcement Ordinance (Government Ordinance No. 83 dated March 30, 2007), for those assets acquired after April 1, 2007, we changed to a method of amortization based on the revised Corporate Tax Law. The effect on operating income, ordinary income, and net income before taxes accompanying these changes was slight.
(Additional Information)
Regarding the accounting of residual book value of tangible fixed assets
Regarding assets acquired prior to March 31, 2007, accompanying the revision of the Corporate Tax Law of fiscal 2007, we equally amortized over a 5-year period the difference between the amount equivalent to 5% of the acquisition price and the memorandum price from the fiscal year after the fiscal year in which the asset reached 5% of the acquisition price through the application of the amortization method based on the Corporate Tax Law prior to the revision. The resulting effect on operating income, ordinary income, and net income before taxes was slight.
(2) Intangible fixed assets
We used the straight-line method. Note that for the software that our company used, we amortized on the basis of the usable period in the company (5 years).
3. | Accounting standards for allowances |
(1) Investment loss allowance
In order to be prepared for losses on investments, for the investment loss allowance, we include an amount that is deemed necessary in consideration of factors including the financial status of companies that have issued marketable securities.
(2) Bonus allowance
In order to be prepared for the payment of bonuses to employees, for the bonus allowance, we include an amount out of the anticipated amount of payment for bonuses for employees that will be ascribed to the concerned term.
(3) Executive bonus allowance
In order to be prepared for the payment of bonuses to executives, for the executive bonus allowance, we include an amount out of the anticipated amount of payment for bonuses for executives that will be ascribed to the concerned term.
4. Method of handling deferred assets
Share-issuance expenses are handled as the full amount of the expense at the time of disbursement.
5. Conversion standards for foreign-currency-backed assets and liabilities
For foreign-currency-backed assets and liabilities, we set the yen-conversion amount according to the exchange market on the settlement day, excluding subsidiary stock, for which the yen-conversion amount is set according to the exchange market at the time of acquisition, and conversion differences are treated as profit or loss.
6. Accounting of consumption tax and the like
The accounting of consumption tax and regional consumption tax is by the tax-excluded method.

EXHIBIT B
Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc.
Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS Co., Ltd.
Regarding Underwriting of the Third-Party Allotment of New Shares of Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS Co., Ltd.
by Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. and the Share Exchange between the Two Companies
Tokyo, September 20, 2007 It is hereby notified that, at their respective board meetings held today, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (MUFG) and Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS Co., Ltd. (MUN) resolved that MUFG will underwrite the entirety of the allotment of new shares to third parties to be conducted by MUN, and that, subject to the approval by a general shareholders meeting of MUN, MUFG and MUN resolved on the policy of making MUN a wholly-owned subsidiary of MUFG through a share exchange transaction (the Share Exchange), and agreed to commence discussions as follows.
1. | Purpose |
Observing the new developments in the credit card market based on recent changes in the business environment, MUN today announced a new midterm management plan featuring: (a) reinforcement of reserves in preparation for future risks due to an increase in interest repayment claims and the effects of restrictions on the amount of borrowings available to individuals; (b) implementation of structural reforms which are more than those in the previous midterm management plans; and (c) efforts to secure its position of overwhelming prestige in the credit card market.
Based on the foregoing, with the following 4 objectives, MUFG and MUN have reached a basic agreement that MUFG will underwrite the entirety of a third-party allotment of new shares in the amount of 120 billion yen to be conducted by MUN, and that, upon delisting, MUN would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of MUFG through the Share Exchange in accordance with the provisions of a share exchange agreement (the Share Exchange Agreement) to be separately agreed upon.
(a) | To strengthen the financial foundation of MUN |
(b) | To further enhance the strategic integrity and maneuverability of the MUFG Group including MUN, and to strive for effective utilization of managerial resources inside the Group |
(c) | To clarify the positioning of MUN as a core business entity of the MUFG Group on par with banks, trusts and securities firms |
(d) | To further strengthen and nurture the card business operated by MUN as a strategic field in the consumer finance business of MUFG |
(Translation)
In addition, in order to make up the loss forecasted for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008 and thereafter achieve implementation of a flexible and appropriate capital policy, MUN has decided upon the transfer to Other Capital Surplus of the pertinent payment amount at the same time as the issuance of new shares through the third-party allotment (i.e., reduction of the amounts of capital and capital reserves simultaneous with the stock issuance).
Further, as separately notified today in Concerning the Maintenance and Development of the Capital Alliance Relationship Between The Norinchukin Bank and Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS Co., Ltd., we will also continue its discussions for the purpose of implementing the further maintenance and development of capital and business alliances between the Norinchukin Bank and MUN.
By means of the foregoing, MUFG and New MUN are convinced that we will be able to meet the demands of customers, shareholders, and society through strategic development and provision of services from new perspectives.
2. | Underwriting by MUFG of third-party allotment of new shares of MUN |
(1) | Amount of funds to be procured and purpose of expenditure |
(a) | Amount of funds to be procured (estimated net proceeds) |
119.7 billion yen |
(b) | Specific purposes of expenditure of procured funds |
It is planned to appropriate the funds procured by the third-party allotment of new shares in this case to allocate: (a) 75 billion yen as structural reform funds aimed at recovery in business performance; (b) 20 billion yen as new card strategy investment funds; and (c) 24.7 billion yen as system investment funds |
(c) | Planned timing of disbursement of procured funds |
It is planned to employ the funds according to the New Midterm Management Plan during the period of the plan (from the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008 to the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011) which was announced today separately. |
(d) | Views concerning the rationality of the purposes of expenditure of the procured funds |
By conducting procurement of funds which correspond to structural reform funds aimed at recovery in business performance, new card strategy investment funds, and system investment funds, our financial foundation is expected to be solidified, strategic integrity and maneuverability with the MUFG Group as a core business entity within the MUFG Group will be further enhanced, and the card business operated by MUN is expected to be further strengthened and nurtured, and we consider this to be rational from the managerial standpoint. |

(4) | Forecast of impact on business performance of MUN |
The impact of this third-party allotment of new shares is included in the revised forecast of MUNs business performance for this term announced today in the Notification of Revision to Business Forecasts and Dividends (Consolidated and Non-consolidated) and Record of Extraordinary Losses for the Fiscal Year ending March 31, 2008.
(Translation)
(5) | Rationality of issuance terms |
(a) | Basis of issue price calculation |
The closing average price of 328.9 yen of common stock of MUN announced by the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc. during the most recent 3 months until the most recent trading day (between June 20, 2007 and September 19, 2007) pertaining to the resolution of the Board of Directors of MUN concerning this third-party allotment of new shares was multiplied by 91.2 % to obtain 300 yen.
We think that it is rational to refer to the average value of closing price of common stock of MUN at the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc. during the 3 months prior to the date of the resolution of the board of directors instead of the closing price of 276 yen of the previous trading day of the date of board of directors resolution which may have been affected by temporary market fluctuations in the securities market. With respect to discount rates, we have determined that it is rational based on the status of current market, the necessity of allocation of new stocks to a third party, and the size of the increase in capital.
(b) | Basis for deeming that the total number of shares to be issued and scale of share dilution are rational |
As a result of the issuance of new stock from this third-party allotment of new shares, a dilution of 39.1% will occur relative to the existing number of outstanding shares. However, we deem this to be necessary and rational financing for purposes of solidifying our financial foundation for our future development strategy, while resolutely implementing structural reforms amid a changing business environment, and further enhancing our strategic integrity and maneuverability as a core business entity in the MUFG Group, as mentioned above.
(6) | Reason to select the allottee |
(a) | Reason to select the allottee |
As announced on this release, a basic agreement has been reached to make MUN a wholly-owned subsidiary of MUFG. Taking into consideration the necessity, monetary scale and the like of this financing, it has been agreed to have MUFG underwrite the entirety of the issue amount.
(b) | Holding policy of allottee |
As described in section 4. below, the policy of MUFG is to make MUN a wholly-owned subsidiary, and to maintain its holdings for the mid- to long term. Furthermore, MUN plans to obtain a Letter of Assurance from MUFG stating that MUFG will notify MUN the details if it transfers the whole or part of the new shares within 2 years of the date of issuance.

3. | Increase in Other Capital Surplus of MUN (reduction of the amount of capital and the amount of capital reserves simultaneous with the stock issuance) |
(1) | Purpose of reduction in the amount of capital and capital reserves simultaneous with this third-party allotment of new shares |
(a) | Amount of capital to be reduced |
60 billion yen
Please note that as the amount of capital will be reduced simultaneously with the capital increase from this third-party allotment of new shares, the amount of capital on the day after the reduction in the amount of capital takes effect will not be less than the amount of capital on the day before.
(b) | Amount of capital reserves to be reduced |
60 billion yen
Please note that as the amount of capital reserves will be reduced simultaneously with the increase in capital reserves from this third-party allotment of new shares, the amount of capital reserves on the day after the reduction in the amount of capital reserves takes effect will not be less than the amount of capital reserves on the day before.
(c) | Method of reducing the amount of capital and the amount of capital reserves |
We will follow the procedure for reduction of the amount of capital simultaneous with share issuance based on Article 447, Paragraph 3 of the Company Law and the procedure for reduction of the amount of capital reserves simultaneous with share issuance based of Article 448, Paragraph 3 of the same law.
(2) | Time schedule for reducing the amount of capital and the amount of capital reserves simultaneous with this third-party allotment of new shares (tentative) |

Final date for filing of creditor objections | November 1, 2007 (Thursday) | |
Effective date | November 6, 2007 (Tuesday) |

(3) | Future prospects |
The reduction in the amount of capital and capital reserves is transfer processing that puts the capital and capital reserves of the net assets portion into the Other Capital Surplus account, and does not change the amount of net assets of MUN, nor does it impact our business performance. Hereafter, we will strive to improve the soundness of balance sheets, and move forward with efforts to raise corporate value.
