Capital adequacy ratio highlights
The new capital adequacy framework (Basel II) that was under consideration by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision became effective in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. Substantial changes have been made to the method for calculating capital adequacy ratios compared to the previous framework, such as the refinements in calculating credit risk-weighted assets and inclusion of operational risk.
In Japan, disclosure of information is required for the items set forth in The Matters Separately Prescribed by the Financial Services Agency Regarding Capital Adequacy Conditions, etc., pursuant to Article 19-2, Paragraph 1, Item 5, Subsection 4, etc., of the Ordinance for Enforcement of Banking Law (Ministry of Finance Ordinance Number 10 of 1982) (FSA Notice Number 15 of 2007). We do not provide figures for the six months ended September 30, 2006, a period with respect to which Basel II was not yet applicable, because we have not made the calculations pursuant to FSA Notice Number 19 or 20 of 2006.

Notes: |
1. The above are based on the BIS standard applied on a consolidated basis following 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)). | |
2. Because we cannot break down its common stock and preferred stock according to classes of stock, no value for non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock is separately stated from capital. | ||
3. In calculating the consolidated capital adequacy ratio, we underwent an examination following the procedures agreed with the certified public accountant, 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. | ||
4. The amount of net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2007 was ¥311.3 billion, and the maximum amount of deferred tax assets that can record without diminishing the amount of Tier 1 capital for the purpose of calculating capital adequacy ratios was ¥1,475.6 billion. | ||
5. The adjusted floor amount is the amount obtained by multiplying (i) 12.5 to (ii) the excess of the required capital under Basel I multiplied by the rate prescribed in the Notice over the required capital under Basel II. Because the amount derived by multiplying the required capital under Basel I by the rate prescribed in the Notice exceeded the required capital under Basel II, the excess was added to risk-weighted assets. | ||
6. Among our group companies that are subject to the calculation of consolidated capital adequacy ratio pursuant to Article 3 of the Notice, 137 companies are consolidated subsidiaries. There is no company that is subject to the deductible items set forth in Article 8, Paragraph 1, Item 2, Subparagraph 1 through 3 of the Notice. |

Number of cases where assumptive losses exceeded value-at-risk during the period |
0 | 0 | 0 |
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. |
Notes: | 1. Our group companies which conduct trading activities are Mizuho Bank, Mizuho Corporate Bank, Mizuho Trust & Banking and Mizuho Securities, etc. | |
2. The value-at-risk 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). | ||
3. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of market risk measurements calculated using the value-at-risk method, we carry out regular back tests to compare value-at-risk with assumptive losses. |
· Outlier Criteria
The following table shows results of calculations under the outlier framework.

Notes: | 1. As part of the new 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. | |
2. For the interest rate shock scenario used in connection with the results of 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, which show a rise in interest rates, at a 99.0% confidence level to the shock scenario. |
