1. CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITIONS

(Please refer to Summary of Financial Results for Fiscal 2008 for more information.)

(1) Analysis of Results of Operations

Looking back over the economic climate during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, many financial institutions, mainly in Europe and the United States, experienced shortages of capital and management difficulties in the wake of the turmoil of the securitization market triggered by the subprime loan problem. As a result, uncertainties in financial markets increased significantly in the form of, for example, the tightening of credit on a global scale due to the deterioration of intermediary function of financial institutions.

These financial uncertainties had significant impacts on the actual economy. The serious economic downturn is continuing in the United States and Europe, as personal consumption, housing investments and capital investments are further worsening. Emerging countries and countries dependent on natural resources are also suffering from worsening economies.

As for the Japanese economy, corporate earnings were significantly aggravated, affected by drastic declines in exports due to the deteriorating world economy and appreciation of the yen. As a result, the number of bankruptcies increased regardless of industry type and company size, and stock prices fell sharply. In addition, personal consumption decreased in the worsening environment of employment and income due to the rapid production adjustments. The serious downturn in the economy is continuing against the background of decreased domestic and foreign demand.

Under these circumstances, leading countries are promoting coordination of global policies to stabilize the financial markets and achieve economic recovery through summit conferences and other means, and the effects are gradually being materialized. However, there is a possibility that the actual economy deteriorates further due to protracted or worsening financial uncertainty.

Given the above business environment, it is important for Mizuho Financial Group (the “Group”) to further strengthen its profitability by allocating management resources flexibly and providing superior financial services to meet customers’ needs, while maintaining financial soundness and enhancing corporate governance such as risk management.

Reflecting the above economic environment, Net Loss amounted to ¥588.8 billion.

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 ¥(386.4) billion for banking business, ¥(21.4) billion for securities business and ¥18.9 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 ¥(406.6) billion for Japan, ¥97.6 billion for the Americas, ¥(104.7) billion for Europe and ¥31.4 billion for Asia/Oceania.

As for earnings estimates for fiscal 2009, we estimate Ordinary Income of ¥3,200.0 billion, Ordinary Profits of ¥330.0 billion and Net Income of ¥200.0 billion on a consolidated basis.

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 1-2.

(2) Analysis of Financial Conditions

Consolidated total assets as of March 31, 2009 amounted to ¥152,723.0 billion, decreasing by ¥1,689.0 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year, mainly due to decreases in Securities.

Securities were ¥30,173.6 billion, decreasing by ¥3,784.9 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year. The balance of Loans and Bills Discounted amounted to ¥70,520.2 billion, increasing by ¥4,911.5 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year.

Deposits amounted to ¥77,179.5 billion, increasing by ¥1,004.2 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year.

Net Assets amounted to ¥4,186.6 billion, decreasing by ¥1,507.5 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year. Shareholders’ Equity was ¥2,554.1 billion, Total Valuation and Translation Adjustments was ¥(420.3) billion and Minority Interests was ¥2,051.6 billion.

Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

Net Cash Provided in Operating Activities was ¥573.7 billion mainly due to increased Borrowed Money (excluding Subordinated Borrowed Money). Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities was ¥2,408.2 billion mainly due to purchase and sale of securities, and Net Cash Used in Financing Activities was ¥32.9 billion. As a result, Cash and Cash Equivalents as of March 31, 2009 was ¥5,048.6 billion.

The Consolidated Capital Adequacy Ratio (Basel II BIS Standard) was 10.55% (preliminary).


	March 31, 2007		March 31, 2008		March 31, 2009
Basel II	12.48	%	11.70	%	10.55	%

(3) Basic Policy on Profit Distribution, Proposed Dividend Payment for Fiscal 2008 and Forecast Dividend Payment for Fiscal 2009

We will continue to pursue “strengthening of stable capital base” and “steady returns to shareholders” as our “disciplined capital management”.

Based on this policy, despite the considerable worsening of our consolidated financial results compared with the previous term we plan to make cash dividend payments of ¥10 per share of common stock for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009 as prescribed, from the standpoint of providing regular stable dividend payments while maintaining and strengthening the capital base. We also propose making dividend payments on preferred stock as prescribed (i.e., a cash dividend of ¥20 per share for the Eleventh Series Class XI Preferred Stock and a cash dividend of ¥30 per share for the Thirteenth Series Class XIII Preferred Stock).

As for the dividend forecast for fiscal 2009, although we anticipate a continuing severe business environment, we plan to make cash dividend payments of ¥8 per share of common stock from the standpoint also of providing stable dividend payments.

In July 2008, we repurchased our own shares (common shares) of ¥150.0 billion and cancelled almost all of them in September 2008 for the purpose of offsetting the potential dilutive effect of our common shares from the conversion of the Eleventh Series Class XI Preferred Stock. However, in light of factors including the current financial market turmoil and global economic downturn, we have been putting more priority on “strengthening of stable capital base” since the second half of fiscal 2008 in order to prepare for further adverse business environment. We will continue to focus on disciplined capital management together with steady returns to our shareholders as the current management priority as it has become increasingly important for financial institutions to maintain sufficient capital base amid a prolonged stagnation of both domestic and overseas economies.

The above dividend estimate is based on information that is currently available to us and on assumptions of factors that have an influence on future results of operations. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. Please refer to “forward-looking statements” on page 1-2.

(6) NOTE FOR THE ASSUMPTION OF GOING CONCERN

Not applicable

(7) NOTES

Amounts less than one million yen are rounded down.

I. Standards of Accounting Method

1.	Trading Assets & Liabilities and Trading Income & Expenses

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. Income or expenses generated on the relevant trading transactions are recorded in Trading Income or Trading Expenses on the consolidated statement of income.

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 fair value, assuming that such transactions are terminated and settled at the consolidated balance sheet date.

Trading Income and Trading Expenses include the interest received and the interest paid during the fiscal year, the gains or losses resulting from any change in the value of securities and other monetary claims between the beginning and the end of the fiscal year, and the gains or losses resulting from any change in the value of financial derivatives between the beginning and the end of the fiscal year, assuming they were settled at the end of the fiscal year.

2.	Securities

(i) 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.

(ii) Securities which are held as trust assets in Money Held in Trust accounts are valued in the same way as given in (i) above.

3.	Derivative Transactions

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

4.	Depreciation

(1)

Tangible Fixed Assets (Except for Lease Assets)

Depreciation of buildings is computed mainly by the straight-line method, and that of others is computed mainly by the declining-balance method. The range of useful lives is as follows:


Buildings:		3 years to 50 years
Others:		2 years to 20 years

1-23

Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

(2)

Intangible Fixed Assets (Except for Lease Assets)

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.

(3)

Lease Assets

Depreciation of lease assets booked in Tangible Fixed Assets and Intangible Fixed Assets which are concerned with finance lease transactions that do not transfer ownership is mainly computed by the same method as the one applied to fixed assets owned by us.

5.	Deferred Assets

(1)

Bond issuance costs

Bond issuance costs are expensed as incurred.

(2)

Debenture issuance costs

Debenture issuance costs are expensed as incurred.

(3)

Bond discounts

Bonds are stated at amortized costs computed by the straight-line method on the consolidated balance sheets.

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

6.	Reserves for Possible Losses on Loans

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 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.

1-24

Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

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 ¥540,000 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.

7.	Reserve for Possible Losses on Investments

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. Except for securitization products which are included as reference assets of another securitization schemes of the Group’s domestic banking subsidiary, Reserve for Possible Losses on Investments is provided against unrealized losses on securitization products related with the discontinuation of business regarding credit investments primarily in Europe which were made as an alternative to loans by the Group’s domestic banking subsidiary. Since securities are recognized at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet, the balance of Securities is offset against that of Reserve for Possible Losses on Investments by ¥31,786 million.

8.	Reserve for Bonus Payments

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

9.	Reserve for Employee Retirement Benefits

Reserve for Employee Retirement Benefits (including Prepaid Pension Cost), which is provided for future benefit payments to employees, is recorded as the required amount, 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 employees of the respective fiscal year.

10.	Reserve for Director and Corporate Auditor Retirement Benefits

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 at the end of the respective fiscal year, based on the internally established standards.

11.	Reserve for Possible Losses on Sales of Loans

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.

Of the Loans Held for Sale for which we had recorded Reserve for Possible Losses on Sales of Loans, with respect to loans in the amount of ¥348,279 million to a borrower in Europe whose business condition is sound and has no particular financial problem, we decided not to sell such loans for the foreseeable future based on our determination that it is reasonable to continue holding such loans based on the difficulty in selling at a fair price. We thus reclassified such loans as loans other than Loans Held for Sale, based on the reasonably calculated prices, at the end of December 2008. As a result, Loans and Reserve for Possible Losses on Sales of Loans decreased by ¥27,728 million and ¥70,198 million, respectively, compared to the amounts which would have been recorded if we had continued to classify those loans as Loans Held for Sale. In addition, Other within Other Ordinary Expenses decreased by ¥41,130 million.

1-25

Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

12.	Reserve for Contingencies

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.

13.	Reserve for Frequent Users Services

Reserve for Frequent Users Services is provided mainly 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.

14.	Reserve for Reimbursement of Deposits

Reserve for Reimbursement of Deposits is provided against the losses for the deposits derecognized from the liabilities at the estimated amount of future claims for withdrawal to provide for claims by depositors and others.

15.	Reserve for Reimbursement of Debentures

Reserve for Reimbursement of Debentures is provided for the debentures derecognized from Liabilities at the estimated amount for future claims.

(Additional information)

Even though the debentures derecognized from Liabilities had been recorded as a loss when claims were made, from this fiscal year Reserve for Reimbursement of Debentures is recorded due to the availability of a reasonable estimate as a result of the development and analysis of data on claims.

As a result, Ordinary Losses and Losses before Income Taxes and Minority Interests both increased by ¥8,973 million compared with the corresponding amounts under the previously applied method.

16.	Reserve under Special Laws

Reserve under Special Laws is Reserve for Contingent Liabilities from Financial Instruments and Exchange of ¥1,750 million. This is the reserve pursuant to Article 46-5, Paragraph 1 and Article 48-3, Paragraph 1 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law to indemnify the losses incurred from accidents in the purchase and sale of securities, other transactions or derivative transactions.

17.	Assets and Liabilities denominated in foreign currencies

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.

1-26

Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

18.	Hedge Accounting

(1)

Interest Rate Risk

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 transaction 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 in accordance with 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 transaction 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 instrument and that of the hedging instrument.

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

Among Net Deferred Hedge Losses, net of Taxes recorded on the consolidated balance sheet, those deferred hedge losses are included that are 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. The 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 ¥84,716 million and ¥80,611 million, respectively.

(2)

Foreign Exchange Risk

Domestic consolidated banking subsidiaries and some of domestic consolidated trust banking subsidiaries 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 that the amount of the foreign currency position of the hedged monetary claims and liabilities is equal to or larger than that of currency-swap transactions, exchange swap transactions, and similar transactions designated as the hedging instruments of the foreign exchange risk.

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.

(3)

Inter-company Transactions

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.

19.	Consumption Taxes and other

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

1-27

Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

II.	Scope of Cash and Cash Equivalents on Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, Cash and Cash Equivalents consists of cash and due from central banks included in Cash and Due from Banks on the consolidated balance sheet.

III.	Changes of Fundamental and Important Matters for the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements

(Accounting Standard for Lease Transactions)

Although MHFG accounted for finance leases that do not involve transfer of ownership to lessee as operating leases, by this application, MHFG accounts for them as normal trade transactions, including the transactions that started before the end of fiscal 2007.

The amount of accumulated impact until the end of fiscal 2007 on Income before Income Taxes and Minority Interests is recorded in Extraordinary Losses.

This change increases Lease Assets in Tangible Fixed Assets by ¥8,661 million, Lease Assets in Intangible Fixed Assets by ¥1,354 million, Lease Obligation in Other Liabilities by ¥18,667 million, Extraordinary Losses by ¥10,828 million and Losses before Income Taxes and Minority Interests by ¥8,299 million.

(Changes in Presentation of Financial Statements)

While Derivatives other than for Trading Assets (Assets) and Derivatives other than for Trading Liabilities (Liabilities) were formerly included within Other Assets and Other Liabilities, respectively, they are separately presented from this fiscal year due to their increased materiality.

Derivatives other than for Trading Assets included within Other Assets and Derivatives other than for Trading Liabilities included within Other Liabilities as of March 31, 2008 were ¥6,185,988 million and ¥5,633,810 million, respectively.

Additional Information

(Partial Changes to the Calculation Method for Fair Value of Other Securities)

Floating-rate Japanese Government Bonds

For Floating-rate Japanese Government Bonds within Securities, our domestic consolidated banking subsidiaries and some of our domestic consolidated trust banking subsidiaries had been applying market prices to establish book value. Based on our determination that current market prices may not reflect fair value due to the extremely limited volume of actual transactions, we have applied reasonably calculated prices as book value for fiscal 2008.

As a result, compared to applying market price as book value, Securities increased by ¥97,748 million, Deferred Tax Assets decreased by ¥7,488 million, Net Unrealized Gains on Other Securities, net of Taxes increased by ¥85,946 million and Minority Interests increased by ¥4,312 million.

In deriving the reasonably calculated price, we used the Discounted Cash Flow Method as well as other methods. The price decision variables include the yield of 10-year Japanese Government Bonds and the volatilities of interest rate swap options for 10-year Japanese Government Bonds as underlying assets.

Securitization Products

1-28

Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

As a result, Securities increased by ¥144,286 million and Net Unrealized Gains on Other Securities, net of Taxes increased by ¥36,908 million. In addition, Other Operating Income increased by ¥416 million, Other Operating Expenses decreased by ¥52,883 million, losses due to the discontinuation of business regarding credit investments primarily in Europe in Other within Other Ordinary Expenses decreased by ¥54,078 million, which led to a decrease in Ordinary Losses of ¥107,378 million.

The book value that was reasonably calculated based on the reasonable estimates of our management mentioned above is ¥515,199 million. In deriving reasonably calculated prices based on the reasonable estimates of our management mentioned above, we used the Discounted Cash Flow Method. The price decision variables include default rates, recovery rates, pre-payment rates and discount rates, and the subject Securities included Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities, Collateralized Loan Obligations, Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities and other Asset Backed Securities.

Loans Past Due for Three Months or More are loans on which payments of principal and/or interest have not been made for a period of three months or more since the next day following the last due date for such payments, and which are not included in Loans to Bankrupt Obligors, or Non-Accrual Delinquent Loans.

5.	Balance of Restructured Loans: ¥480,118 million

Restructured Loans represent loans of which contracts were amended in favor of obligors (e.g. reduction of, or exemption from, stated interest, deferral of interest payments, extension of maturity dates and renunciation of claims) in order to assist or facilitate the restructuring of the obligors.

1-30

Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

8.	The following assets were pledged as collateral:


Trading Assets:		¥4,012,042 million
Securities:		¥8,960,855 million
Loans and Bills Discounted:		¥12,437,626 million

Of this amount, ¥47,284,078 million relates to contracts of 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 require collateral such as real estate and securities when deemed necessary at the time the contract is entered into. In addition, they periodically monitor customers’ business conditions in accordance with internally established standards and take necessary measures to manage credit risks such as amendments to contracts.

10.

Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

Regarding Software, etc., certain domestic consolidated subsidiaries recognized Losses on Impairment of Fixed Assets for idle assets due to discontinuance of development of the next generation mainframe computer system. For the purposes of identifying idle assets for which Losses on Impairment of Fixed Assets have been recognized, the individual asset is assessed as a unit. The recoverable amount is calculated based on net realizable value. The net realizable value is evaluated with a realizable value of zero.

Previously, corporate tax payments overseas were treated as deduction under the Corporation Tax Act and recorded in Other in Other Ordinary Expenses. However, at the end of this fiscal year, it is anticipated that it will apply the foreign tax credits against current tax payable under the Corporation Tax Act and the amount was recorded in Current Income Taxes. As a result, Other in Other Ordinary Expenses decreased by ¥20,684 million and Current Income Taxes increased by the same amount compared with the corresponding amounts under the previously applied method.

Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

Notes:

1.	Net Unrealized Gains include ¥62,770 million, which was recognized in the consolidated statement of income by applying the fair-value hedge method and other.

Fair value of Japanese stocks 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.

3.	Unrealized Gains/Losses are the details of Net.

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 fiscal year (impairment (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 impairment (devaluation) for the fiscal year was ¥455,719 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.

(Additional Information)

Floating-rate Japanese Government Bonds

For Floating-rate Japanese Government Bonds within Securities, domestic consolidated banking subsidiaries and a trust banking subsidiary had been applying market prices to establish book value. Based on our determination that current market prices may not reflect fair value due to the extremely limited volume of actual transactions, we have applied reasonably calculated prices as book value for fiscal 2008.

Securitization Products

With respect to the credit investments in securitization products made as an alternative to loans by the European and North American offices of domestic consolidated banking subsidiaries, we had previously applied as fair value the valuations obtained from brokers and information vendors based on our determination that such valuations constitute reasonably calculated prices that can be used as a proxy for market prices. Given the current situation in which the volume of actual transactions is extremely limited and there exists a considerable gap between the offers and bids of sellers and buyers, we determined that valuations obtained from brokers and information vendors cannot be deemed to be the fair value, and we applied reasonably calculated prices based on the reasonable estimates of our management as fair value.

As a result, Securities increased by ¥144,286 million and Net Unrealized Gains on Other Securities, net of Taxes increased by ¥36,908 million. In addition, Other Operating Income increased by ¥416 million, Other Operating Expenses decreased by ¥52,883 million, and losses due to the discontinuation of business regarding credit investments primarily in Europe in Other within Other Ordinary Expenses decreased by ¥54,078 million, which led to a decrease in Ordinary Losses of ¥107,378 million.

With respect to the credit investments in securitization products made as an alternative to loans by the European and North American offices of our domestic consolidated banking subsidiaries, we had previously applied as fair value the valuations obtained from brokers and information vendors based on our determination that such valuations constitute reasonably calculated prices that can be used as a proxy for market prices. Given the current situation in which the volume of actual transactions is extremely limited and there exists a considerable gap between the offers and bids of sellers and buyers, we determined that valuations obtained from brokers and information vendors cannot be deemed to be the fair value, and we applied reasonably calculated prices based on the reasonable estimates of our management as fair value. As a result, Assets increased in Japan, Americas, and Europe by ¥22,040 million, ¥17,479 million, and ¥104,767 million, respectively. Ordinary Income increased in Europe by ¥416 million, and Ordinary Expenses decreased in Japan, Americas, and Europe by ¥6,814 million, ¥589 million, and ¥99,558 million, respectively. Ordinary Profits increased in Americas by ¥589 million, and Ordinary Losses decreased in Japan and Europe by ¥6,814 million and ¥99,975 million, respectively.

Summary Results for Fiscal 2008

I. Summary of Income Analysis

—

Consolidated Net Business Profits

•

Consolidated Gross Profits for fiscal 2008 increased by JPY 146.0 billion on a year-on-year basis, due to the recovery in performance of Mizuho Securities which had recorded significant losses for the previous fiscal year.

Gross Profits of the banking subsidiaries decreased mainly because of decreases in income related to business with domestic corporate customers (SMEs), fee income associated with sales of investment trusts and individual annuities, fee and commission income from overseas business which was affected by the turmoil in the global financial markets, and income from the trust and asset management business of Mizuho Trust & Banking which was affected by domestic real estate market conditions.

•

Consolidated Net Business Profits increased by JPY 111.4 billion to JPY 622.6 billion compared with the previous fiscal year, despite an increase in G&A Expenses, mainly those associated with employee retirement benefits.

—

Consolidated Net Income

•

Consolidated Net Income for fiscal 2008 amounted to JPY -588.8 billion, a year-on-year decrease of JPY 900.0 billion. This was primarily due to, in addition to the aforementioned factors, an increase in both domestic and overseas Credit-related Costs mainly against the backdrop of the sharp economic downturn as well as the conservative provision of reserves in light of the unforeseeable future of the economic environment, the recording of one-time losses associated with the sharp declines in both domestic and overseas stock prices (JPY 514.1 billion of devaluation of stocks for the 3 Banks; of which JPY 418.5 billion was recorded in the second half), continuously recorded losses on securitization products and others resulting from the global financial market turmoil, and the effect of conservative estimates of future profits in relation to the calculation of deferred income taxes.

•

As for the effect from our securitization products and others due to the global financial market turmoil, the consolidated P&L impact in fiscal 2008 was a loss of approximately JPY 135.0 billion.

[Breakdown of the P&L impact of JPY 135.0 billion (including overseas subsidiaries)]

3 Banks

–

Losses on sales of securitization products, etc. (incl. devaluation): approx. JPY -126.0 Bn

(of which foreign currency denominated*¹ : approx. JPY -101.0 Bn )

–

Net losses on provision of Reserve for Possible Losses on Sales of Loans*²: approx. JPY -12.0 Bn

–

Provision of Reserve for Contingencies associated with ABCP Programs: approx. JPY -4.0 Bn

–

Profits from hedging by CDS: approx. JPY 23.0 Bn

Mizuho Securities*³

–

Trading losses on securitization products: approx. JPY -16.0 Bn

(of which foreign currency denominated: approx. JPY -12.0 Bn )

*1	For the vast majority of foreign currency denominated securitization products, we applied reasonably calculated prices based on the reasonable estimates of our management as fair value at the end of fiscal 2008. (P&L impact: approx. JPY +107.0 Bn).

*2	Separately recorded approximately JPY -19.0 billion of Credit-related Costs in fiscal 2008 due to downgrading of some obligors to the Intensive Control Obligors classification or below.

We reclassified a part of Loans Held for Sale as loans other than Loans Held for Sale, based on the reasonably calculated prices, at the end of December 2008.

*3	Excludes reserves for counterparty risks associated with the estimated amount claimable for the settlement of the CDS related to securitization products described in “(Reference) Credit Default Swaps related to securitization products (as of Mar. 31, 2009)” on page 2-6.

Net Interest Income

•

The average loan balance for the first half and the second half of fiscal 2008 increased respectively, mainly driven by the growth in the balance of domestic branches.

•

Although the domestic loan-and-deposit rate margin for the second half of fiscal 2008 was 1.46%, an improvement on the first half mainly enhanced by increased margins at Mizuho Corporate Bank, the figure for the full fiscal year remained almost flat on a year-on-year basis.

•

Net Interest Income of the 3 Banks for fiscal 2008 amounted to JPY 968.8 billion (a year-on-year increase of JPY 14.8 billion) due to the growth in our international operations, while that in our domestic operations slightly declined due to factors including decreased returns on securities.

—

Non-Interest Income

•

Net Fee and Commission Income of the 3 Banks for fiscal 2008 decreased to JPY 299.2 billion by JPY 52.5 billion compared with the previous fiscal year.

•

As for our business with individual customers, fee income associated with sales of investment trusts and individual annuities was significantly lower than that in the previous fiscal year, due to stagnant stock market conditions and other factors.

As for our business with corporate customers, although fee and commission income associated with domestic syndicated loans increased year-on-year, that primarily from solution-related business for SMEs, foreign exchange business, and overseas business decreased. Profits from trust and asset management business of Mizuho Trust & Banking also decreased.

II. Financial Soundness

—

Although our NPL Ratio was 1.77%, an increase on a year-on-year basis, our Net NPL Ratio, reflecting the effects of Reserves for Possible Losses on Loans, remained at a low level of 0.73% (a year-on-year decrease of 0.10%). We maintained sufficient financial soundness.

—

We recorded Unrealized Losses on Other Securities due to the declines in the stock markets.

—

We maintained our Consolidated BIS Capital Adequacy Ratio at above the 10% level as of March 31, 2009. We have applied the Advanced Internal Ratings-Based (AIRB) Approach to the measurement of credit risk from March 31, 2009.

We are pursuing “strengthening of stable capital base” and “steady returns to shareholders” as our “disciplined capital management”. In July 2008, we repurchased our own shares (common shares) of JPY 150.0 billion and cancelled almost all of them in September 2008 for the purpose of offsetting the potential dilutive effect of our common shares from the conversion of the Eleventh Series Class XI Preferred Stock.

However, in light of factors including the current financial market turmoil and global economic downturn, we have been putting more priority on “strengthening of stable capital base” since the second half of fiscal 2008 in order to prepare for a further adverse business environment. We will continue to focus on strengthening our capital base as the current management priority since it has become increasingly important for financial institutions to maintain sufficient capital base amid a prolonged stagnation of both domestic and overseas economies.

Increase of our prime capital

•

Our board of directors resolved today to file a Shelf Registration Statement (hakkotorokusho) for the issuance of our common shares up to JPY 600.0 billion. The registration is to establish a framework for flexibly implementing the issuance of our common shares that will serve to increase our prime capital. Our decision is aimed at, in light of the current uncertainty over the economy, securing a solid and sufficient capital buffer in preparation for a further adverse business environment and ensuring the flexibility to capture business opportunities leading to our future growth and to respond to customer needs.

—

Strengthening of our capital base through issuance of “non-dilutive” preferred securities

•

We issued preferred debt securities amounted at JPY 303.0 billion in July 2008, JPY 355.0 billion in December 2008, and USD 850 million in February 2009, respectively, through our overseas special purpose subsidiaries, so as to further increase our group’s capital base in light of the current financial market turmoil on top of securing the agility and improving the flexibility of our capital strategy.

•

In addition, our board of directors resolved today to establish overseas special purpose subsidiaries and to issue preferred debt securities. Meanwhile, we plan to make a full redemption of preferred debt securities (JPY 176.0 billion) which will become redeemable at the issuer’s option in June 2009.

Earnings Estimates for Fiscal 2009

(Figures below are on a consolidated basis)

—

We estimate Consolidated Net Business Profits for fiscal 2009 to be JPY 720.0 billion, an increase of JPY 97.3 billion compared with the previous fiscal year.

This is due to further strengthening of profitability primarily in Customer Groups of the banking subsidiaries mainly by increasing loan interest income and enhancing further the group synergies.

—

We estimate Credit-related Costs and Net Gains related to Stocks to be JPY -330.0 billion and JPY 50.0 billion, respectively.

—

Based on the above, we estimate Consolidate Net Income to be JPY 200.0 billion, an increase of JPY 788.8 billion year-on-year.

—

While we anticipate a severe business environment, we plan to make cash dividend payments of JPY 8 per share of common stock for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010 (a year-on-year decrease of JPY 2), also from the standpoint of providing stable dividend payments. We plan to make dividend payments on preferred stock as prescribed.

We may not be successful in implementing our business strategies, and management may fail to achieve its targets, for a wide range of possible reasons, including, without limitation, incurrence of significant credit-related costs; declines in the value of our securities portfolio, including as a result of the impact of the dislocation in the global financial markets stemming from US subprime mortgage loan issues; changes in interest rates; foreign currency fluctuations; revised assumptions or other changes related to our pension plans; failure to maintain required capital adequacy ratio levels; downgrades in our credit ratings; the effectiveness of our operational, legal and other risk management policies; our ability to avoid reputational harm; and effects of changes in general economic conditions in Japan and elsewhere.

Except for the securitization products which were the reference assets of our securitization schemes for transferring credit risk to third parties (hedged portion), a Reserve for Possible Losses on Investments has been provided since the end of fiscal 2007 against unrealized losses on securitization products related to the discontinuation of business regarding credit investments primarily in Europe, which had been made as an alternative to loans. The balance of reserve was approx. JPY 32 billion as of Mar. 31, 2009. Since securities were recognized at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet, the relevant balances as of Mar. 31, 2008 and Mar. 31, 2009 were those after being offset by the amount of Reserve for Possible Losses on Investments.

*2	Partial changes to the calculation method for fair value of securitization products

With respect to the vast majority of credit investments in securitization products made as an alternative to loans by our European and North American offices, we changed the calculation method for fair value and applied reasonably calculated prices based on the reasonable estimates of our management as fair value at the end of fiscal 2008.

(The book value of the relevant securitization products after the aforementioned change: approx. JPY 515 billion. Please refer to page 1-29)

(Impact during fiscal 2008)

Balance as of Mar. 31, 2009: approx. JPY +144 billion, Unrealized Gains/Losses as of Mar. 31, 2009: approx. JPY +37 billion, P&L impact for fiscal 2008: approx. JPY +107 billion

*3	The proportions of balances (fair value) of the securitization products, as of Mar. 31, 2009, which were the reference assets of our securitization schemes (with CDS and other means) for transferring credit risk to third parties until maturity.

In some of the securitization schemes, a portion of credit risk of the reference assets remained with Mizuho Financial Group through our retaining a small first loss position and a portion of senior tranches.

(Reference) CDS counterparties^†1:

Financial services subsidiary (A- rating) of a multi-line insurance company: approx. JPY 163 billion

Government-affiliated financial institution (AA- rating): approx. JPY 98 billion

†1 Notional amount basis. Ratings were based on the lowest external ratings as of Mar. 31, 2009.


*4		The change in balance from Mar. 31, 2008 (approx. JPY -349 billion) included approx. JPY 108 billion decrease in balance due to foreign exchange translation impact primarily caused by appreciation of Japanese yen against European currencies and the US dollar.
*5		The proportion of US subprime mortgage loan-related assets to the total underlying assets of this CDO was up to approx. 40%. The entire balance (fair value) consisted of Super Senior tranche.
*6		The entire balance consisted of securitization products backed by original assets (non-securitized assets).
*7		Re-classified a part of the securitization products, which had been categorized in line 5 in the above table as of Mar. 31, 2008, to line 11 after a review of the definition of each category since our disclosure for the first quarter of fiscal 2008.

(Reference) Credit Default Swaps related to securitization products (as of Mar. 31, 2009)

–

The notional amount of credit default swaps (CDS^*1) referring to securitization products at Mizuho Securities was approximately JPY 298 billion (JPY 366 billion as of Mar. 31, 2008), and the fair value of the relevant reference assets (securitization products) was approximately JPY 208 billion (JPY 302 billion as of Mar. 31, 2008). NPV, or the estimated amount claimable for the settlement of the CDS, was approximately JPY 70 billion, which was the difference between the notional amount and the fair value (excluding approximately JPY 20 billion^*2 that had already been received in cash from a CDS protection seller). The net estimated amount claimable for the settlement of the CDS after deducting reserves for counterparty risks (approximately JPY 20 billion) was approximately JPY 50 billion.

(The above included CDS contracts with a US monoline (external ratings as of Mar. 31, 2009: AA-^*3), of which the notional amount was approximately JPY 27 billion and the fair value of the relevant reference assets was approximately JPY 20 billion.)

Excluded CDS shown in line 4 and 7 of the above table

Translated the relevant amount of cash in foreign currency at the exchange rate in effect at the end of March, 2009

Based on the lowest external ratings as of Mar. 31, 2009

–	The majority of the above CDS contracts were with counterparties with external ratings in the “AA” range or higher (as of Mar. 31, 2009), and the relevant reference assets were securitization products backed mainly by claims against corporations.

Banking Subsidiaries

(The figures below are rounded to JPY 1 Bn)

—

Loans Held for Sale (for which Reserve for Possible Losses on Sales of Loans was recorded)

•

Approximately JPY 29 billion of Reserve for Possible Losses on Sales of Loans was recorded against approximately JPY 105 billion of Loans Held for Sale associated with overseas LBO and other transactions (Reserve ratio: 27.2%)


(Note)		The figures shown above exclude those related to Intensive Control Obligors or below. The reserve ratio would be 35.5%, if including the balances of Loans Held for Sale to such obligors and the amounts of both Reserves for Possible Losses on Loans and Reserve for Contingencies in relation to the relevant balances.

•

Out of the above-mentioned JPY 105 billion, the LBO/MBO related Loans Held for Sale amounted to approximately JPY 81 billion, and the relevant reserve ratio was 30.2%.


(Note)		The figures shown above exclude those related to Intensive Control Obligors or below. The reserve ratio would be 37.9%, if including the balances of Loans Held for Sale to such obligors and the amounts of both Reserves for Possible Losses on Loans and Reserve for Contingencies in relation to the relevant balances.

•

With respect to a part of Loans Held for Sale by European offices (JPY 348.2 billion), we reclassified such loans as loans other than Loans Held for Sale, based on the reasonably calculated prices, at the end of December 2008.

Comparison to the amounts which would have been recorded if we had continued to classify the aforementioned loans as Loans Held for Sale at the end of March 2009:

Loans; JPY -27.7 billion

Reserve for Possible Losses on Sales of Loans; JPY -70.1 billion

Other within Other Ordinary Expenses; JPY -41.1 billion

(Please refer to page 1-25)

Securitization products guaranteed by US monolines

•

Approximately JPY 8 billion of securitization products backed by auto lease receivables included in the acquired assets of the above-mentioned overseas ABCP conduits sponsored by Mizuho Corporate Bank. (The balance decreased significantly from approximately JPY 30 billion as of Mar. 31, 2008 due to redemptions at maturities.)

•

Mizuho Corporate Bank recorded approximately JPY 4 billion of Reserve for Contingencies on approximately JPY 7 billion out of the above-mentioned as of Mar. 31, 2009. (Please refer to “Overseas ABCP program-related” noted above)

Banking Subsidiaries (Banking Account)

•

The total balance of the above bonds held was approximately JPY 665 billion, with approximately JPY 18 billion of unrealized gains. Out of the total balance, approximately JPY 663 billion was RMBS guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), a corporation wholly-owned by the US government.

(Reference) Balance held as of Mar. 31, 2008: approximately JPY 1.2 trillion

*	In addition to “Securities” on the consolidated balance sheets, NCDs in “Cash and Due from Banks”, certain items in “Other Debt Purchased” and certain items in “Other Assets” are also included.

*	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.

*	The book values of Other Securities which have readily determinable fair value are stated at fair value, so Unrealized Gains/Losses indicate the difference between book value on the consolidated balance sheet and the acquisition cost.

*	Unrealized Gains/Losses include ¥62,770 million, ¥50,163 million and ¥37,202 million, which were recognized in the statement of income for March 31, 2009, September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, respectively, by applying the fair-value hedge method.

As a result, the base amounts to be recorded directly to Net Assets after tax and consolidation adjustments as of March 31, 2009, September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008 are ¥(572,395) million, ¥125,560 million and ¥640,678 million, respectively.

Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Other Securities, net of Taxes which were recorded on the financial statement (recorded directly to Net Assets after tax and consolidation adjustments, excluding the amount recognized in the statement of income by applying the fair-value hedge method and other, including translation differences regarding securities which do not have readily determinable fair value) as of March 31, 2009, September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008 are ¥(519,574) million, ¥48,718 million and ¥401,375 million, respectively.

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.

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 ¥1,066.0 billion [17]. However, after considering temporary differences which are not expected to be reversed in the next five years. Valuation Allowance of ¥594.4 billion [18] was provided, therefore after offsetting Deferred Tax Liabilities of ¥190.9 billion [24], ¥280.6 billion [25] of Net Deferred Tax Assets was recorded on the balance sheet.
