Notes: The amounts for MTFG are on a consolidated basis. Net business profits,
net gains (losses) on equity securities and net special gains (losses) for BTM
and MTBC are on a non-consolidated basis, and the other amounts for BTM and MTBC
are on a consolidated basis. Net business profits represent the amount before
deducting credit costs for trust accounts and provision for formula allowance
for loan losses.
The sum of net business profits in BTM and MTBC for the six months ending
September 30, 2003 is expected to be approximately 325.0 billion of Japanese
yen, which is substantially unchanged from the six months ended September 30,
2002. Credit related costs for the six months ending September 30, 2003 are
expected to be significantly lower than net business profits for the same
period.
During the six months ending September 30, 2003, BTM and MTBC disposed of their
equity securities holdings of approximately 265.0 billion of Japanese yen and
approximately 230.0 billion of Japanese yen, respectively, for a sum of
approximately 495.0 billion of Japanese yen. Net losses on equity securities for
the six months ending September 30, 2003 are expected to be 19.0 billion of
Japanese yen reflecting the recovery of stock prices.
Net special gains of BTM for the six months ending September 30, 2003 are
expected to be 227.0 billion of Japanese yen. These gains primarily include
recoveries of allowance for credit losses that are primarily attributable to the
decrease in new problem loans and BTM's active efforts through several
strategies such as the preventive business model in the revitalizing of
borrowers with financial difficulties, gains in connection with the transfer to
the Japanese Government of a substitutional portion of employee pension fund
liabilities, and a tax refund of local bank tax imposed by the Tokyo
Metropolitan Government due to the condition of the settlement.
