Capital adequacy ratio highlights

The Basel II Framework, based on the “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards: A Revised Framework” issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, requires the disclosure of capital adequacy information to ensure the enhanced effectiveness of market discipline. Our disclosure is made under the “Matters Separately Prescribed by the Commissioner of the Financial Services Agency Regarding Capital Adequacy Conditions, etc. pursuant to Article 19-2, Paragraph 1, Item 5, Subitem (d), etc. of the Ordinance for Enforcement of the Banking Law (Ministry of Finance Ordinance No. 10 of 1982)” (FSA Notice No. 15 of 2007).

As a method to calculate the amount of credit risk-weighted assets under the Basel II Framework, we have adopted the advanced internal ratings-based approach. In addition, as a method to calculate the amount equivalent to the operational risk, we have adopted the advanced measurement approach.

Notes:

1.		The above figures are calculated based on the BIS standard applied on a consolidated basis under the “Standards for Determining the Status of Capital Adequacy in consideration of assets held by a bank holding company and by its subsidiaries, in accordance with Banking Law Article 52-25” (FSA Notice No. 20 of 2006 (the “Notice”)). For the figures as of September 30, 2009 and 2010, we did not apply the exception to the Notice (FSA Notice No. 79 of 2008).

2.		As it is not possible to break down Mizuho Financial Group’s common stock and preferred stock according to classes of stock, non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock is not stated separately from capital.

3.		In calculating the consolidated capital adequacy ratio, we underwent an examination following the procedures agreed with Ernst & Young ShinNihon LLC, on the basis of “Treatment in implementing examination by agreed-upon procedures for calculating capital adequacy ratio” (Industry Committee Report No. 30 of the Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants). Note that this is not a part of the accounting audit performed on our consolidated financial statements. This consists of an examination under agreed-upon procedures performed by Ernst & Young ShinNihon LLC on a portion of the internal control structure concerning the calculation of the capital adequacy ratio and a report of the results to us. As such, they do not represent an opinion regarding the capital adequacy ratio itself nor the internal controls related to the calculation of the capital adequacy ratio.

4.		The amounts of net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2009 and 2010 were ¥615.1 billion and ¥447.0 billion, respectively, and the maximum amounts of deferred tax assets that can be recorded without diminishing the amount of Tier 1 capital for the purpose of calculating capital adequacy ratio as of September 30, 2009 and 2010 were ¥1,029.4 billion and ¥1,252.0 billion, respectively.

5.		The “adjusted floor amount” is the amount obtained by multiplying (i) 12.5 by (ii) the excess, if any, of the required capital under the advanced internal rating-based approach and the gross profit allocation approach multiplied by the rate prescribed in the Notice over the required capital under the advanced internal ratings-based approach and the advanced measurement approach. The “adjusted amount for credit risk-weighted assets” is the amount obtained by multiplying (i) 12.5 by (ii) the excess, if any, of the required capital under the foundation internal ratings-based approach multiplied by the rate prescribed in the Notice over the required capital under the advanced internal ratings-based approach; and the “adjusted amount for operational risk equivalent” is the amount obtained by multiplying (i) 12.5 by (ii) the excess, if any, of the required capital under the basic indicator approach multiplied by the rate prescribed in the Notice over the required capital under the advanced measurement approach.

6.		Among our group companies that were subject to the calculation of consolidated capital adequacy ratio pursuant to Article 3 of the Notice, the numbers of consolidated subsidiaries were 164 and 163 as of September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively. There was no company that was subject to the deductions for total risk-based capital forth in Article 8, Paragraph 1, Item 2, Subitem (a) through (c) of the Notice as of September 30, 2009 and 2010.

5.		Total required capital (consolidated): 8% of the denominator of the capital adequacy ratio.

6.		The major exposures included in each portfolio classification of internal ratings-based approach are as follows:


Corporate (excluding specialized lending)		Credits to corporations and sole proprietors (excluding credits to retail customers)

Corporate (specialized lending)		Credits which limit interest and principal repayment sources to cash flow derived from specific real estate, chattel, businesses, etc.

Sovereign		Credits to central governments, central banks and local governmental entities

Bank		Credits to banks and securities companies, etc.

Retail		Housing loans (residential mortgage), credit card loans (qualifying revolving retail loans) and other individual consumer loans and loans to business enterprises with total credit amount of less than ¥100 million (other retail), etc.

Equities, etc.		Capital stock, preferred securities, perpetual subordinated debt, etc. (excluding trading assets) * The transitional measure applies to those held from September 30, 2004 or earlier, and others are applied either the PD/LGD approach or the market-based approach.

Regarded-method exposure		Investment trusts and funds, etc.

Purchased receivables		Receivables purchased from third parties excluding securities (excluding securitizations)

Securitizations		Transactions in the form of “non-recourse” or having a “senior/subordinated structure” (excluding specialized lending)


7.		EAD calculated using the standardized approach for credit risk represents the amount before the deduction of specific reserve for possible losses on loans, reserve for possible losses on loans to restructuring countries and partial direct write-offs.

n Credit risk

(3) Credit risk exposure, etc.

We exclude regarded-method exposure and securitization exposure from the amount of credit risk exposure.

The outstanding balance is based on exposure at default.

No significant difference exists between period-end credit risk position and the average credit risk position during the twelve months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010.

(Reference) Obligor ratings

Obligor ratings

(major category)

Definition of ratings

Classification

A1–A3

Obligors whose certainty of debt fulfillment is very high, hence their level of credit risk is excellent.

Investment grade zone

B1–B2

Obligors whose certainty of debt fulfillment poses no problems for the foreseeable future, hence their level of credit risk is sufficient.

C1–C3

Obligors whose certainty of debt fulfillment and their level of credit risk pose no problems for the foreseeable future.

D1–D3

Obligors whose current certainty of debt fulfillment poses no problems, however, their resistance to future changes in business environment is low.

Non-investment grade zone

Obligors who require close watching going forward because there are problems with their borrowings, such as reduced or suspended interest payments, problems with fulfillment such as de facto postponements of principal or interest payments, or problems with their financial positions as a result of their poor or unstable business conditions.

Obligors who are not yet bankrupt but are in financial difficulties and are deemed to be very likely to go bankrupt in the future because they are finding it difficult to make progress in implementing their management improvement plans (including obligors who are receiving ongoing support from financial institutions).

Default

Obligors who have not yet gone legally or formally bankrupt but who are substantially bankrupt because they are in serious financial difficulties and are not deemed to be capable of restructuring.

Obligors who have already gone bankrupt, from both a legal and/or formal perspective.

*	Including restructured loans and loans past due for three months of more

Notes:

1.		We have changed the method of calculation of actual losses for the above table starting the period from October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010. We also reflected such changes to the periods from October 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009 in the above table.

2.		Actual losses are the sum of the net increase (decrease) in the amount of partial direct write-offs, specific reserve for possible losses on loans and general reserve for possible losses on loans (for claims against special attention obligors or below), etc., as well as tax-qualified direct write-offs, losses from sales of non-performing loans, losses from debt forgiveness and losses from debt-equity swaps during the relevant period. Equity exposure under the PD/LGD approach is not included in the amount of actual losses.

<Analysis>

Actual losses for the period from October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010 decreased by ¥362.0 billion from the period from October 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009 to ¥101.8 billion. The decrease was due mainly to a significant decrease in losses from corporate exposure reflecting the improvement of obligor classifications through our business revitalization support to corporate customers.

2.		Estimated losses after deduction of reserve are the amount after deductions of partial direct write-offs, specific reserves for possible losses on loans and general reserves for possible losses on loans (for claims against special attention obligors or below), etc., as of the beginning of each period. Equity exposure under the PD/LGD approach is not included in the amount of estimated losses.

Notes:

1.		Subordinated contributions for managed collateralized loan obligations (“CLO”), etc., are included in the above table as exposure as investor even when the assets underlying those CLOs, etc., include exposures that were originated by us. Our subordinated contributions for those managed CLOs, etc., were ¥5.7 billion (treated as deduction from capital for purpose of capital adequacy ratio calculation) as of September 30, 2010.

2.		Classification based on type of underlying assets is conducted according to the principal underlying asset type for each transaction. Transactions that are difficult to classify are included under “Others.”

3.		“Credit cards” include shopping credit receivables, card loans, etc.

4.		The classification of transactions of which the underlying assets are foreign assets is conducted according to the principal underlying assets of each transaction.

5.		Securitization exposure retained or purchased whose risk transfer (hedge) effects are reflected in the calculation of capital adequacy ratio is categorized as securitization exposure as originator.

6.		Securitization exposure as investor includes ¥2.1 billion liquidity facilities that we provide to ABCP programs sponsored by other companies.

Notes:

1.		The multiplication factor for the calculation of market risk equivalent (internal models approach) is determined by the number of cases where assumptive losses exceeded VaR during the period.

2.		Our group companies which conduct trading activities are Mizuho Bank, Mizuho Corporate Bank, Mizuho Trust & Banking and Mizuho Securities, etc.

VaR (Value at Risk)

The VaR method measures the maximum possible loss that could be incurred due to market movements within a certain time period (or holding period) and degree of probability (or confidence interval).

VaR related to our trading activities is based on the following:

•

variance co-variance model for linear risk and monte-carlo simulation for non-linear risk;

•

VaR: simple aggregation of linear risk and non-linear risk;

•

confidence interval: one-tailed 99.0%;

•

holding period of one day; and

•

historical observation period of one year.

— Outlier criteria

As part of the capital adequacy requirements under Basel II, the losses arising from a banking book in hypothetical interest rate shock scenarios under certain stress conditions are calculated and compared with the sum of Tier I and Tier II capital. If the interest rate risk of the banking book leads to an economic value decline of more than 20% of the sum of Tier I and Tier II capital, we will be deemed an “outlier” and may be required to reduce the banking book risk or adopt other responses.

The following table shows results of calculations under the outlier framework.


	(Billions of yen)
	Amount of loss		Broadly-defined capital		Loss ratio to capital
As of September 30, 2009		695.3		7,630.0		9.1	%
As of March 31, 2010		681.4		7,658.0		8.8	%
As of September 30, 2010		936.1		8,180.7		11.4	%

Effect of dollar interest rate		231.7		n.a.		n.a.
Effect of euro interest rate		78.8		n.a.		n.a.


Note:

For the interest rate shock scenario used in connection with the calculations under the outlier framework, we generate annual rate fluctuation data for five years derived from daily raw historical interest rate data of the past six years and then apply the actual fluctuation data at a 99.0% confidence level to the shock scenario.
