1. CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Please refer to Summary of Interim Results for more information)

(1) Analysis of Results of Operations

Looking back over the global economic climate during the last six months ended September 30, 2007, although economic growth in the U.S. was rather slow mainly due to the subprime mortgage problem, the overall trend in the worldwide economy was a general improvement as a whole supported by steady growth in Asia, including China. As for the Japanese economy, although there was continued improvement in corporate performance supported by robust exports, domestic demand was weak because of sluggish growth in personal consumption. Domestic corporate goods prices continued to rise, but the year-on-year rate of change in the Consumer Price Index was close to 0 percent.

As for the Japanese financial and capital markets, stock prices temporarily declined with concerns over a U.S. economic downturn but showed no marked fluctuations thereafter. In spite of a temporary rise in long-term interest rates against the anticipation of an increase in interest rates supported by the steady Japanese economy, rates during the latter half of the period remained at the same level as at the beginning of the period in response to the declining trend in U.S. interest rates.

Reflecting the above economic environment, Net Income amounted to ¥327.0 billion, decreasing by ¥65.2 billion from the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.

Taking segment information by type of business for MHFG and its consolidated subsidiaries categorized under banking business (banking and trust banking business), securities business and other, Ordinary Profits before excluding inter-segment Ordinary Profits was ¥396.8 billion for banking business, ¥(4.3) billion for securities business and ¥13.3 billion for other. Looking at segment information by geographic area categorized under Japan, the Americas, Europe and Asia/Oceania, Ordinary Profits before excluding inter-segment Ordinary Profits was ¥331.1 billion for Japan, ¥62.1 billion for the Americas, ¥(8.6) billion for Europe and ¥25.2 billion for Asia/Oceania.

Based on the current business circumstances of Mizuho Securities, MHFG hereby revises its consolidated earnings estimates for fiscal 2007, announced on May 22, 2007, to ordinary income of ¥4,800.0 billion, ordinary profits of ¥830.0 billion, and net income of ¥650.0 billion.

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

(2) Analysis of Financial Conditions

Consolidated total assets as of September 30, 2007 amounted to ¥151,711.9 billion, increasing by ¥1,831.8 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year mainly due to increases in Trading Assets of ¥2,067.0 billion and others.

Securities were ¥36,153.9 billion, increasing by ¥103.9 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year.

The balance of Loans and Bills Discounted amounted to ¥66,056.4 billion, increasing by ¥92.1 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year.

Deposits amounted to ¥74,167.4 billion, decreasing by ¥635.6 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year as a result of the steady growth in personal deposits being offset by decreases in deposits of corporate customers and others.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities was ¥511.6 billion mainly due to increased market-related activity. Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities was ¥313.6 billion mainly due to sales and redemption of securities, and Net Cash Used in Financing Activities was ¥528.6 billion mainly due to repurchase of treasury stock.

As a result, Cash and Cash Equivalents as of September 30, 2007 was ¥2,363.8 billion.

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

MHFG will continue to accumulate its Net Income steadily, place our management emphasis on ROE from the perspective of effective utilization of our capital and consider returning profits to the shareholders while maintaining and strengthening the capital base.

Based on this policy we estimate a dividend payment of ¥10,000 per share of common stock for fiscal 2007, in view of our consolidated earnings estimates for fiscal 2007, the level of Retained Earnings and other factors. We also estimate dividend payments on preferred stock as prescribed. And we have no plan to pay a dividend on common stock and preferred stock for interim fiscal 2007.

In interim fiscal 2007, we have completed the repurchase of our common shares of ¥149.9 billion and canceled all the shares repurchased, for the purpose of, among other things, offsetting the potential dilutive effect of the conversion of the Eleventh Series Class XI Preferred Stock in consideration of the possibility that the number of shares of our common stock will increase after the commencement of the conversion period from July 1, 2008.

We will continue to consider setting up additional repurchase limits and conducting share repurchase, based on market conditions, and earnings trend and other factors.

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

3. MANAGEMENT POLICY

(1) Principal Management Policy

Mizuho Financial Group (the “Group”) pursues our goals of being held in high regard by our shareholders and the financial markets and earning widespread trust from the community as Japan’s leading comprehensive financial services group on the basis of the three fundamental management philosophies below.

 

  a) To provide the highest level of comprehensive financial services to our customers and clients.

 

  b) To provide an attractive, inspiring workplace for our employees where they can each demonstrate their rich individuality and ability to meet their respective challenges.

 

  c) To enable each group company to demonstrate to the utmost its own particular characteristics and strengths in its respective business field and function.

(2) Management’s Medium/Long-term Targets and Issues to be Resolved

In order to achieve total and final completion of its “Channel to Discovery” Plan, promoted as a business strategy since fiscal 2005, and to increase corporate value significantly, the Group will further advance its Business Portfolio Strategy in which the three global groups of the Group strive to improve profitability by exploiting their respective characteristics in a manner responsive to customer needs. We will strive also to win the further confidence of domestic and overseas customers by developing a Corporate Management Strategy by careful consideration of customer perspectives and by establishing a solid compliance structure and advanced risk management system.

Business Portfolio Strategy (Please refer to “Management Structure of Mizuho” on page 1-11)

(The Global Corporate Group)

Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd. (“MHCB”) will continue to reinforce the global strategy it has pursued to date, in order to respond more promptly and wisely to the increasingly advanced and global management and financial issues engaging our customers. More specifically, having acquired its status as a Financial Holding Company (“FHC”) under the U.S. Bank Holding Company Act in December 2006, MHCB intends to strengthen further its operations in the Americas and expand its comprehensive investment banking business by combining banking and securities services. Also MHCB established banking subsidiaries in China in June 2007 and is striving to expand further its network of offices in the Americas, Asia, Europe, Middle East and other regions. MHCB will also accelerate efforts for full-scale deployment of forefront asset management services targeting domestic and foreign institutional investors.

Mizuho Securities Co., Ltd. (“MHSC”) will aim to become a market leader in securities and investment banking businesses offering a wide range of integrated financial products and services and intensively pursuing group synergy by actively promoting mutual collaboration within the group. In addition, by virtue of its merger with Shinko Securities Co., Ltd. (“Shinko”), MHSC intends quickly to attain the highest capabilities in product development, financial technology and marketing. MHSC and Shinko were originally proceeding with preparations for a merger scheduled for January 2008, subject to clearance from the relevant authorities. However, due to the market turmoil caused by the sub-prime mortgage situation in the United States during the negotiations for the merger ratio and other matters, both companies agreed that it would be appropriate to postpone the merger until May 2008 (scheduled date).

(The Global Retail Group)

Mizuho Bank, Ltd. (“MHBK”) will actively deploy “Personal Squares” (branches placing more priority on individual customers) in order to increase the strength of its products and services, further improve the “Mizuho Mileage Club” membership service, expand channels and develop new products for personal loans, and reinforce its asset management consulting functions to meet a wide range of personal asset management needs. In the small and medium-sized enterprise market, MHBK aims to offer the most suitable solutions tailored to ever more diverse and sophisticated customer needs by reinforcing its M&A and business inheritance advisory functions, support for initial public stock offerings and customers’ overseas business operations and so on. In addition to taking these measures, MHBK continuously strives to establish a stable revenue base by decisively streamlining its headquarters organization, transferring personnel to branches, and deepening and strengthening its customer relationships even further.

Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

 

(The Global Asset & Wealth Management Group)

Mizuho Trust & Banking Co., Ltd. (“MHTB”) plans to embark on various new types of trust businesses as it develops new products and reinforces its consulting strengths within a climate strongly influenced by the easing of regulatory controls, the revision of the Trust Law and so on. MHTB plans to expand its market share by employing a trust agency system and further strengthening business collaborations with group companies, and thereby becoming the trust bank most relied upon by its customers.

Mizuho Private Wealth Management Co., Ltd., as a fully-fledged private banking services company, aims to establish long-term relationships with customers by providing optimal, high-quality comprehensive and integrative products and services tailored to the needs of individual customers.

In addition, Dai-Ichi Kangyo Asset Management Co., Ltd. and Fuji Investment Management Co., Ltd. merged in July 2007 to form a new company called Mizuho Asset Management Co., Ltd. This new company will strive to meet a wide range of customer needs as a central player in the asset management business of the Group, together with DLIBJ Asset Management Co., Ltd. (which is due to be renamed DIAM Co., Ltd. in January 2008).

Corporate Management Strategy

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

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

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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

Net Unrealized Gains/Losses on Other Securities, net of Taxes have been receiving greater focus because of the considerable change in the market circumstances these days, and the values of securities deemed as market prices such as those obtained from brokers and financial information vendors have been more available. Hence, taking into account the convergence of global accounting standards, if the values deemed as market prices could be obtained by the reasonable estimate, Other Securities formerly measured at acquisition cost as securities without fair values are measured at such values.

This change decreases Other Debt Purchased by ¥7,773 million, Securities by ¥16,993 million, Net Unrealized Gains/ Losses on Other Securities, net of Taxes by ¥15,024 million, Net Deferred Tax Liabilities by ¥4,596 million and increases Deferred Tax Assets by ¥5,146 million on the consolidated balance sheet. Among Other Securities valued at acquisition cost, Reserves for Possible Losses on Loans are provided for the bonds which are issued by private placement (Article 2 Paragraph 3 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law) mentioned in Note 10.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Buildings:

  3 years to 50 years

Equipment:

  2 years to 20 years

 

     In accordance with the revision of the Corporate Tax Law of 2007, depreciation of the tangible fixed assets acquired on or after April 1, 2007 is computed by the procedure stipulated in the revised law. As a result, Ordinary Profits and Income before Income Taxes and Minority Interests decreased by ¥540 million compared with the corresponding amounts under the previously applied method.

 

     As for the tangible fixed assets acquired before April 1, 2007 and depreciated to their final depreciable limit, the salvage values of them are depreciated using the straight-line method in the following five fiscal years. As a result, Ordinary Profits and Income before Income Taxes and Minority Interests both decreased by ¥1,109 million compared with the corresponding amounts under the previously applied method.

 

1-14


Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

 

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

 

8. Deferred assets are treated as follows:

 

  (1) Bond issuance costs are expensed as incurred.

 

  (2) Debenture issuance costs are expensed as incurred. Debenture issuance costs booked on the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2006 are amortized under the straight-line method within a certain period by applying the previous accounting method based on the tentative measure stipulated in the “Tentative Solution on Accounting for Deferred Assets” (the Accounting Standards Board of Japan (“ASBJ”) Report No. 19, August 11, 2006).

 

  (3) Bonds and Debentures are stated at amortized costs computed by the straight-line method on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

     Bond discounts and debenture discounts booked on the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2006 are amortized under the straight-line method over the term of the bond and debenture by applying the previous accounting method and the unamortized balance is directly deducted from bonds and debentures, based on the tentative measure stipulated in the “Tentative Solution on Accounting for Deferred Assets” (ASBJ Report No. 19, August 11, 2006).

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

For claims extended to Intensive Control Obligors and Obligors with Restructured Loans (defined in Note 30 below) and others, if the exposure to an obligor exceeds a certain specific amount, reserves are provided as follows: (i) if future cash flows of the principal and interest can be reasonably estimated, the discounted cash flow method is applied, under which the reserve is determined as the difference between the book value of the loan and its present value of future cash flows discounted using the contractual interest rate before the loan was classified as a Restructured Loan, and (ii) if future cash flows of the principal and interest cannot be reasonably estimated, reserves are provided for the losses estimated for each individual loan.

For claims extended to other obligors, reserves are maintained at rates derived from historical credit loss experience and other factors. Reserve for Possible Losses on Loans to Restructuring Countries is maintained in order to cover possible losses based on analyses of the political and economic climates of the countries. All claims are assessed by each claim origination department in accordance with the internally established “Self-assessment Standard,” and the results of the assessments are verified and examined by the independent examination departments. Reserves for Possible Losses on Loans are provided for on the basis of such verified assessments.

In the case of claims to Bankrupt Obligors and Substantially Bankrupt Obligors, which are collateralized or guaranteed by a third party, the amounts deemed uncollectible (calculated by deducting the anticipated proceeds from the sale of collateral pledged against the claims and amounts that are expected to be recovered from guarantors of the claims) are written off against the respective claims balances. The total directly written-off amount was ¥532,965 million.

The claims above include corporate bonds which are issued by private placement (Article 2, Paragraph 3 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law) and others.

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

Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

14. Reserve for Director and Corporate Auditor Retirement Benefits, which is provided for future retirement benefit payments to directors, corporate auditors, and executive officers, is recognized at the amount accrued for this interim period based on the internally established standards.

 

15. Reflecting the considerable changes in the market circumstances these days, Reserve for Possible Losses on Sales of Loans is provided for possible future losses on sales of loans at the amount deemed necessary based on a reasonable estimate of possible future losses.

 

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

 

17. Reserve for Frequent Users Services is provided to meet the future use of points of Mizuho Mileage Club at the amount deemed necessary based on the reasonable estimate of the future usage of points. While the Reserve was formerly included within Other Liabilities because of its limited materiality, it has been stated independently from this interim period due to its increased materiality with the increase in the number of members. Reserve for Frequent Users Services formerly included within Other Liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2006 was ¥1,250 million.

 

18. In accordance with “Auditing Treatment relating to Reserve defined under the Special Tax Measurement Law, Reserves defined under the Special Law and Reserve for Directors and Corporate Auditor Retirement Benefits” (The Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“JICPA”) Auditing and Assurance Practice Committee report No.42, April 13, 2007) effective from the fiscal year 2007, MHFG has adopted the report from this interim period to recognize Reserve for Reimbursement of Deposits for the deposits derecognized from the liabilities at the estimated amount of future claims for withdrawal. As a result, Ordinary Profits and Income before Income Taxes and Minority Interests both decreased by ¥9,420 million compared with the corresponding amounts under the previously applied method.

 

1-16


Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

 

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

 

20. The deferred method, the fair-value hedge method or the exceptional accrual method for interest rate swaps are applied as hedge accounting methods.

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

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

 

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

 

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

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

Net Deferred Hedge Losses, net of Taxes recorded on the consolidated balance sheet resulted from the application of the macro-hedge method based on the “Tentative Accounting and Auditing Treatment relating to Adoption of Accounting Standards for Financial Instruments for Banks” (JICPA Industry Audit Committee Report No.15), under which the overall interest rate risks inherent in loans, deposits and others are controlled on a macro-basis using derivatives transactions. These deferred hedge gains/losses are amortized as interest income or interest expenses over the remaining maturity and average remaining maturity of the respective hedging instruments. The unamortized amounts of gross deferred hedge losses and gross deferred hedge gains on the macro-hedges, before net of applicable income taxes were ¥195,174 million and ¥183,611 million, respectively.

 

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

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

 

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

Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

 

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

 

24. Reserve under Special Law is recorded as follows:

Reserve for Contingent Liabilities from Financial Instruments and Exchange:                     ¥2,670 million

This is the reserve pursuant to Article 48-3, Paragraph 1 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law. Reserve for Contingent Liabilities from Futures Transactions and Reserve for Contingent Liabilities from Securities Transactions, which were recognized under Article 81 of the Financial Futures Transaction Law and under Article 51 of the Securities and Exchange Law respectively, are stated as Reserve for Contingent Liabilities from Financial Instruments and Exchange from this interim period because of the enforcement of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law on September 30, 2007.

Revaluation date: March 31, 1998

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

Certain Other Securities which have readily determinable fair value are devalued to the fair value, and the difference between the acquisition cost and the fair value is treated as the loss for the interim period (“devaluation”), if the fair value (primarily the closing market price at the consolidated balance sheet date) has significantly deteriorated compared with the acquisition cost (including amortized cost), and unless it is deemed that there is a possibility of a recovery in the fair value. The amount of devaluation for the interim period was ¥7,853 million.

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

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

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

43. Unsecured loaned securities which the borrowers have the right to sell or repledge amounted to ¥4,996 million and are included in trading securities under Trading Assets.

MHFG has the right to sell or repledge some of unsecured borrowed securities, securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowed with cash collateral. Among them, the total of securities repledged was ¥9,624,508 million, securities re-loaned was ¥53 million and securities neither repledged nor re-loaned was ¥4,672,750 million, respectively.

 

44. Overdraft protection on current accounts and contracts for the commitment line for loans are contracts by which banking subsidiaries are bound to extend loans up to the prearranged amount, at the request of customers, unless the customer is in breach of contract conditions. The unutilized balance of these contracts amounted to ¥54,873,167 million. Of this amount, ¥45,259,918 million relates to contracts in which the original contractual maturity is one year or less, or which are unconditionally cancelable at any time.

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

45. Given that the “Practical Solutions on Unification of Accounting Policies Applied to Foreign Subsidiaries for Consolidated Financial Statements”(ASBJ Report No. 18, May 17, 2006) can be adopted from the fiscal year beginning on or before March 31, 2008, MHFG has adopted the new standards commencing with this period. The effect of this adoption on the consolidated statement of income is immaterial.

 

46. As for the tax effects of sales of investments (such as subsidiaries’ stocks) within the Group, MHFG has adopted Paragraph 30-2 of “Practical Guidelines for Tax Effects on Consolidated Financial Statements” (JICPA Laws and Regulations Committee Report No. 6, March 29, 2007) from this interim period. This application has no effect on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

47. The definitions of securities in “Accounting Standards for Financial Instruments” (ASBJ Statement No. 10) and in “Practical Guidelines on Accounting Standards for Financial Instruments” (JICPA Laws and Regulations Committee Report No. 14) were partially revised on June 15, 2007 and on July 4, 2007 respectively, which is applicable from the fiscal year and the interim period ending on or after the enforcement date of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law. MHFG has adopted the revised standards and guidelines commencing with this interim period.

Summary Results for the First Half of Fiscal 2007

I. Summary of Income Analysis

 

·  

Consolidated Net Business Profits

 

   

Consolidated Net Business Profits for the first half of fiscal 2007 decreased by JPY 33.6 billion on a year-on-year basis.

 

   

Net Business Profits from the banking subsidiaries for the same period increased by JPY 21.0 billion on a year-on-year basis, recovering significantly from a decrease in profits for the first quarter by JPY 37.9 billion compared with the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year. The increase was due to an increase in income from Customer Groups, particularly that in net interest income from deposit and loan business, and strong market-related income.

 

   

Meanwhile, Mizuho Securities recorded a significant decline of its profitability (a decrease of JPY 53.0 billion in Consolidated Ordinary Profits on a year-on-year basis), suffering from the dislocation in the global financial market which stemmed from the US subprime loan issues.

·  

Consolidated Net Income

 

   

Consolidated Net Income for the first half of fiscal 2007 decreased by JPY 65.2 billion to JPY 327.0 billion. This was mainly because, together with the aforementioned factors, Credit-related Costs in this period reverted to a net provision from a net reversal of JPY 93.0 billion in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.

 

   

Credit-related Costs increased on a year-on-year basis as we revised obligor ratings, especially for SME and other obligors with the relatively lower ratings, in light of uncertainty over the economy.

 

   

The total impact of the dislocation in the global financial market stemmed from the US subprime loan issues on the Group’s P&L for the first half of fiscal 2007 was slightly less than JPY 70.0 billion.

II. Steady Enhancement of the Group’s Comprehensive Profitability

 

·  

Net Interest Income

 

   

The average loan balance for the first half of fiscal 2007 continued to increase mainly driven by expansion of overseas lending.

 

   

In addition, the domestic loan-and-deposit rate margin for the same period steadily improved by 0.13% compared with the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.

 

   

Despite some factors including a decline in net dividend and interest income related to equity and other investments, due to an increase in net interest income from deposit and loan business backed by the aforementioned improvement in the domestic loan-and-deposit rate margin, Consolidated Net Interest Income for the same period increased by JPY 2.7 billion on a year-on-year basis.

(Consolidated Net Interest Income for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 decreased by JPY 5.3 billion on a year-on-year basis).

·  

Non-Interest Income

 

   

Net Fee and Commission Income of the 3 Banks remained flat at JPY 179.2 billion compared with the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.

 

   

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

 

   

As for our business with corporate customers, fee and commission income from solution-related business and foreign exchange business decreased, despite an increase in that from overseas business.

III. Financial Soundness

 

·  

The Group maintains its financial soundness at a high level.

 

·  

In response to changes in the market conditions, we have taken the following actions since the first half of fiscal 2007 in light of U.S.GAAP.

 

   

Expansion of scope for fair value measurement

 

   

Adoption of fair value measurement for 96% of the total balance of Other Securities (excluding stocks, private placement bonds guaranteed by our banking subsidiaries.)

 

   

Unrealized losses associated with expansion of the scope is approximately JPY 25.0 billion.

 

   

Reserve for Possible Losses on Sales of Loans

 

   

Recorded reserve of JPY 23.4 billion for possible losses on sales of loans (approximately JPY 860.0 billion), out of those related to LBO and others.

 

·  

The total balance of securitization products and the breakdown as o f the end of September 2007 are shown on the right table.

The outstanding balance of investments and loans associated with SIVs is approximately JPY 25.0 billion, the vast majority of which has already been provisioned. Moreover, there is no such case that we established an SIV which invests in securitization products, and we provide liquidity support and other assistance for it.

IV. Disciplined Capital Management

 

·  

Repurchase and Cancellation of Own Shares (Common Shares)

 

   

In September 2007, we repurchased and cancelled approximately JPY 149.9 billion (214,900 shares) of our own shares (common shares) (Period of repurchase: From August to September 2007). The repurchase and cancellation were conducted for the purpose of, among other things, offsetting the potential dilutive effect of the conversion of the Eleventh Series Class XI Preferred Stock (JPY 943.7 billion in issued value) in consideration of the possibility that the number of shares of our common stock will increase after the commencement of the conversion period from July 1, 2008.

We continue to consider setting up additional repurchase limits and conducting share repurchase, based on market conditions, our earning trends and other factors.

 

·  

Repurchase and Cancellation of Treasury Stock Held by Our Subsidiary

 

   

On May 28, 2007, we repurchased and cancelled all the treasury stock (261,040.83 shares of common stock, JPY 221.1 billion in value) held by our subsidiary, Mizuho Financial Strategy, Co., Ltd.

 

·  

Optional redemption of Preferred Securities

 

   

On June 29, 2007, we redeemed all of the JPY 185.5 billion of non-dilutive preferred debt securities which were issued in February 2002 and became redeemable at the issuer’s option in June 2007.

Earning Estimates for Fiscal 2007

(The figures below are on a consolidated basis.)

 

·  

We estimate Consolidated Net Business Profits for fiscal 2007 of JPY 840.0 billion, a decrease of JPY 151.6 billion on a year-on-year basis.

Regarding the banking subsidiaries, we estimate Net Business Profits at almost the same level as those in the previous fiscal year. We aim at increasing income from Customer Groups by continuing strategic outlays of management resources in the areas of growth and further enhancing the Group’s comprehensive strengths, while estimating the market-related income at a conservative level.

On the other hand, however, due to the impact of dislocation in the global financial market stemming from the U.S. subprime loan issues, additional losses of Mizuho Securities in the second half are taken into consideration.

 

·  

We estimate Credit-related Costs to be JPY 95.0 billion for the full fiscal year, based on the results of the first half, our plan to continue taking precautionary measures for the future, and other factors. Moreover, we estimate Net Gains related to Stocks of JPY 230.0 billion.

 

·  

In addition, the recognition of the accounting gains on the scheduled merger between Mizuho Securities and Shinko Securities will be carried forward to the next term, as a result of the postponement of the merger which was announced today. Mainly due to the aforementioned factors, Consolidated Net Income is estimated to be JPY 650.0 billion (a decrease of JPY 100.0 billion compared with the May 2007 estimate), which is an increase of JPY 29.0 billion on a year-on-year basis.

 

·  

Meanwhile, we plan to increase cash dividends per share of common stock for the fiscal year ending March 2008 to JPY 10,000 (a JPY 3,000 increase from that for the previous fiscal year), unchanged from the level estimated as of May 2007, and make dividend payments on preferred stock as prescribed.

2. Estimation of Deferred Tax Assets, etc.

Non-Consolidated

(1) Calculation Policy

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

<Explanation>

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

Gross Profits: ¥4,763.2 billion [1]

General and Administrative Expenses: ¥2,620.9 billion [2]

Net Business Profits (before Reversal of (Provision for) General Reserve for Possible Losses on Loans): ¥2,142.3 billion [3]

Income before Income Taxes (including Credit-related costs, etc.): ¥1,552.3 billion [5]

Taxable Income before Current Temporary Differences: ¥1,732.4 billion [7].

On the other hand, Deferred Tax Assets which are tax deductible in the future, such as Reserves for Possible Losses on Loans, Tax Losses Carried Forward and others amount to ¥1,021.6 billion [17]. However, after considering temporary differences which are not expected to be reversed in the next five years, Valuation Allowance of ¥(356.8) billion [18] was provided, therefore after offsetting Deferred Tax Liabilities of ¥(297.5) billion [25], ¥367.2 billion [26] of Net Deferred Tax Assets was recorded on the balance sheet.

<Explanation>

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

Gross Profits: ¥2,692.4 billion [1]

General and Administrative Expenses: ¥1,258.7 billion [2]

Net Business Profits (before Reversal of (Provision for) General Reserve for Possible Losses on Loans): ¥1,433.7 billion [3]

Income before Income Taxes (including Credit-related costs, etc.): ¥1,163.7 billion [5]

Taxable Income before Current Temporary Differences: ¥1,088.0 billion [7].

On the other hand, Deferred Tax Assets which are tax deductible in the future, such as Reserves for Possible Losses on Loans, Tax Losses Carried Forward and others amount to ¥1,381.8 billion [17]. However, after considering temporary differences which are not expected to be reversed in the next five years, Valuation Allowance of ¥(864.3) billion [18] was provided, therefore after offsetting Deferred Tax Liabilities of ¥(612.4) billion [25], ¥94.9 billion [26] of Net Deferred Tax Liabilities was recorded on the balance sheet.
