Forward-Looking Statements

 

We may from time to time make written or oral forward-looking statements. Written forward-looking statements may appear in documents filed with or submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, including this Annual Report, and other reports to shareholders and other communications.

 

The US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking information to encourage companies to provide prospective information about themselves. We rely on this safe harbor in making these forward-looking statements.

 

Forward-looking statements appear in a number of places in this Annual Report and include statements regarding our intent, business plan, targets, belief or current expectations or the current belief or current expectations of our management with respect to our results of operations and financial condition, including, among other matters, our problem loans and loan losses. In many, but not all cases, we use words such as “anticipate,” “aim,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “probability,” “risk”“risk,” “will,” “may” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those which are aimed, anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned, or otherwise stated.

 

Our forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. We identify in this Annual Report in “Item 3.D. Key Information—Risk Factors,” “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business Overview,” “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” and elsewhere, some, but not necessarily all, of the important factors that could cause these differences.

 

We do not intend to update our forward-looking statements. We are under no obligation, and disclaim any obligation, to update or alter our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

D.Risk Factors

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described belowin this section, which is intended to disclose all of the risks that we consider material based on the information currently available to us, as well as all the other information in this Annual Report, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes, “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects,” “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Credit, Market and Other Risk” and “Selected Statistical Data.”

 

Our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected by any of the factors discussed below. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these factors. This Annual Report also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including the risks faced by us described belowin this section and elsewhere in this Annual Report. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

If the global economy remains weak or deteriorates again, our credit-related losses may increase, and the value of the financial instruments we hold may decrease, resulting in losses.

We have experiencedbeen, and may continue to experience difficulty integrating our IT systembe, affected by the weak global economy. Despite some signs of a slow recovery, the global economy remains susceptible to developments in various economic and other aspectspolitical areas. For example, the recent sovereign credit crises in some European Union member states and the political instabilities in some parts of Asia have raised serious concerns of another global financial downturn. If the current weakness in the global economy continues or worsens, the availability of credit may remain limited or become further limited, and some of our operations with thoseborrowers may default on their loan obligations to us, increasing our credit losses. Some of our credit derivative transactions may also be negatively affected, including the UFJ groupprotection we sold through single name credit default swaps, index and basket credit default swaps, and credit linked notes. The notional amounts of these protections sold as of March 31, 2010 were ¥2.9 trillion, ¥0.9 trillion and ¥0.2 trillion, respectively. In addition, if credit market conditions remain stagnant or worsen, our capital funding structure may need to be adjusted or our funding costs may increase, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Furthermore, we have incurred losses, and may incur further losses, as a result may have difficulty achieving the benefits expected from the integration.

Since our merger with UFJ Holdings, which was completed in October 2005, we have been implementing a business integration plan that is complex, time-consuming and costly. Achieving the targeted revenue synergies and cost savings is dependent on the successful implementation of the integration plan. We may not succeed in addressing the risks or other problems encountered in the ongoing integration process. In particular, as part of our integration process, we are currently undertaking a significant project to fully integrate the IT systems of the merged commercial bank subsidiaries and the merged trust bank subsidiaries, respectively. The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., or BTMU, commenced the integration of the two systems into a new common IT system in the first half of calendar year 2008 and has since encountered some system problems. These and other problems in the ongoing integration process may cause us to incur significant additional costs, preventing us from achieving the previously announced cost reduction targets as scheduled. Those problems could also severely

damage our reputation. In addition, previously expected revenue synergies may not materialize in the expected time period if we fail to address any problems that arise in the ongoing integration process. If we are unable to resolve smoothly any problems that arise in the ongoing integration process, our business, results of operations, financial condition and stock price may be materially and adversely affected.

If the goodwill recorded in connection with our recent acquisitions, including the merger with UFJ Holdings, becomes impaired, we may be required to record impairment charges, which may adversely affect our financial results and the price of our securities.

In accordance with US GAAP, we have accounted for our recent acquisitions, including the merger with UFJ Holdings and the acquisition of additional shares in kabu.com Securities Co., Ltd., using the purchase method of accounting. We recorded the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the acquired companies as goodwill. US GAAP requires us to test goodwill for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. Goodwill is tested by initially estimating fair value and then comparing it against the carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, we are required to record an impairment loss. The amount of impairment and the remaining amount of goodwill, if any, is determined by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit as of the test date against the fair value of the assets and liabilities of that reporting unit as of the same date.

The recent global financial market instability led to the decline in our market capitalization and negatively affected the fair value of our reporting units for purposesfinancial instruments resulting from deteriorating market conditions. For example, declines in fair value of our periodic testinginvestment securities, particularly equity investment securities, resulted in our recording impairment losses of goodwill¥1,543.8 billion, ¥858.9 billion and ¥117.5 billion for impairment. As a result, we recorded a significant amounteach of impairment of goodwill in the three fiscal yearyears ended March 31, 2008.2010. As of March 31, 2008, we recorded goodwill of ¥1,074.1 billion. The amount of goodwill is expected to increase as a result2010, approximately 40% of our acquisitiontotal assets were financial instruments for which we measure fair value on a recurring basis, and less than 1% of additional common shares of Mitsubishi UFJ NICOSour total assets were financial instruments for which we measure fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Generally, in August 2008 and our expected acquisition of additional common shares of UnionBanCal Corporation, or UNBC, through our tender offer that is scheduledorder to expire on September 26, 2008, unless extended, and the planned subsequent merger. We may be required to record additional impairment charges relating to goodwill in future periods ifestablish the fair value of any of our reporting units declines belowthese instruments, we rely on quoted market prices. If the fair value of related assets netthese financial instruments declines, a corresponding write-down may be recognized in our consolidated statement of liabilities. Any additional impairment charges will negatively affectoperations. For more information on our valuation method for financial results, and the price of our securities could be adversely affected. For a detailed discussion of the goodwill recorded and our periodic testing of goodwill for impairment,instruments, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Critical Accounting Estimates—Accounting for Goodwill and Intangible Assets” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financial Condition—Goodwill.Estimates.

 

We may suffer additional credit-related losses in the future dueif our borrowers are unable to problem loans.repay their loans as expected or if the measures we take in reaction to, or in anticipation of, our borrowers’ deteriorating repayment abilities prove inappropriate or insufficient.

 

When we loanlend money or commit to loanlend money, we incur credit risk, or the risk of losses if our borrowers do not repay their loans. We may incur significant credit losses or have to provide for a significant amount of additional allowance for credit losses if:

 

large borrowers become insolvent or must be restructured;

large borrowers become insolvent or must be restructured;

 

domestic or global economic conditions, either generally or in particular industries in which large borrowers operate, deteriorate;

Ÿ

Ÿ

As a percentage of total loans, nonaccrual and restructured loans and accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more ranged from 1.70% to 2.18% as of the collateral we hold,five recent fiscal year-ends. The percentage increased to 2.18% as of March 31, 2010 compared to the previous year-end mainly due to downgrades in the credit ratings of borrowers in the domestic manufacturing, communication and information services, wholesale and retail, services and other industry segments and the foreign governments and official institutions segment. In particular, as of March 31, 2010, our domestic loans accounted for 78.1% of our total loans outstanding, and the domestic portion of our nonaccrual and restructured loans and accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more accounted for 85.3% of the total of such as real estate or securities, declines; or

we areloans. If the recession in Japan worsens, our problem loans and credit-related expenses may increase. An increase in problem loans and credit-related expenses would adversely affected by other factors to an extent that is worse than anticipated.affect our results of operations, weaken our financial condition and erode our capital base. For a discussion of our problem loans, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financial Condition” and “Selected Statistical Data—Loan Portfolio.”

 

If actual loan losses are higher than currently expected, the current allowances for credit losses will be insufficient. Our allowance for credit lossesWe may provide additional loans, equity capital or other forms of support to troubled borrowers in order to facilitate their restructuring and revitalization efforts. We may also forbear from exercising some or all of our loan portfolio is based on evaluations, assumptions and estimates about customers, the value of collateral we hold and the economyrights as a whole. Our loan losses could prove to be materially different from the estimatescreditor against them, and could materially exceed these allowances. In addition, the standards for establishing allowances change, causing us to change some of the evaluations, assumptions and estimates used in determining the allowances. As a result, we may needforgive loans to provide for additional allowances for creditthem in conjunction with their debt restructuring. These practices may substantially increase our exposure to troubled borrowers and increase our losses.

Credit losses may also increase if we elect, or are forced by economic or other considerations, to sell or write off our problem loans at a larger discount, in a larger amount or in a different time or manner, than we may otherwise want. We

Although we, from time to time, enter into credit derivative transactions, including credit default swap contracts, to manage our credit risk exposure, such transactions may not provide the protection against credit defaults that we intended due to counterparty defaults or otherwise. The credit default swap contracts could also result in significant losses. As of March 31, 2010, the notional amount of the credit default swaps we sold was

¥3.8 trillion. In addition, negative changes in financial market conditions may restrict the availability and liquidity of credit default swaps. For more information on our credit derivative transactions, see Note 23 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Our loan losses could prove to be ablematerially different from our estimates and could materially exceed our current allowance for credit losses, in which case we may need to realizeprovide for additional allowance for credit losses and may also record credit losses beyond our allowance. Our allowance for credit losses in our loan portfolio is based on evaluations about customers’ creditworthiness and the value of the collateral we holdhold. Negative changes in economic conditions or enforce our rights against defaulting customers becauseborrowers’ repayment abilities could require us to provide for additional allowance. For example, as a result of the difficultyweakening of foreclosing on collateral in Japan, the illiquidityfinancial condition of and depressed valuesborrowers, especially in the Japanese real estate market,manufacturing, wholesale and retail, and other reasons.

In addition,industry segments, provision for credit losses increased to ¥647.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 from ¥626.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. As of March 31, 2010, our allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans increased to 1.43% compared to 1.15% as of March 31, 2009, since the allowance for credit losses increased due to the credit quality deterioration of borrowers in those segments, whereas our total outstanding loans decreased. The regulatory standards or guidance on establishing allowances may also change, causing us to change some of the evaluations used in determining the allowances. As a result, we may need to provide for additional loans, equity capital or other forms of support to troubled borrowers in order to facilitate their restructuring and revitalization efforts. We may forbear from exercising some or all of our rights as a creditor against them, and we may forgive loans to them in conjunction with their debt restructuring. These practices may substantially increase our exposure to troubled borrowers and increase ourallowance for credit losses. An increase in loan losses would adversely affect our results of operations, weaken our financial condition and erode our capital base.

We may be adversely affected if economic conditions in Japan or elsewhere worsen.

Our performance is affected by general economic conditions of the countries in which we operate, particularly Japan where we primarily conduct our business. General economic conditions that could affect us include interest rates, inflation, investor sentiment, the availability and cost of credit, the liquidity of the global financial markets, the level and volatility of debt and equity capital markets, and raw material prices. Any of these economic conditions, currently existing or occurring in the future, may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. For a discussion of the current economic environment in Japan and certain other countries,our allowance policy, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Business Environment.B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financial Condition.

 

If the Japanese stock market declinesor other global markets decline in the future, we may incur losses on our securities portfolio and our capital ratios will be adversely affected.

 

We hold large amounts of marketable equity securities, of which a significant portion are securities of Japanese issuers. The market values of these securities are inherently volatile. We have experienced impairment losses on our marketable equity securities in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 as a result of aA decline in Japanese stock prices could reduce the value of the Japanese domestic marketable equity securities that we hold, which accounted for 8.3% of our total investment securities portfolio, or 2.2% of our total assets, as of March 31, 2010, a decrease from 10.9% and an increase from 2.0% as of March 31, 2009, respectively. The Nikkei Stock Average, which is an average of 225 blue chip stocks listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, declined from ¥11,244.40 at April 1, 2010 to ¥9,572.49 at August 9, 2010, mainly reflecting investor sentiment that remains cautious in light of uncertainties surrounding the global financial and capital markets. If stock market prices further decline or do not improve, we may incur additional losses on our securities portfolio if the Japanese stock market further declines in the future. Materialportfolio. Further declines in the Japanese stock market or other global markets may also materially and adversely affect our capital ratios.ratios and financial condition. For a detailed discussion of our holdings of marketable equity securities and the effect of market declines on our capital ratios, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Adequacy” and “Selected Statistical Data—Investment Portfolio.”

 

Because a large portion of our assets are located in Japan and our business operations are conducted primarily in Japan, we may incur further losses if economic conditions in Japan worsen.

Our performance is particularly affected by the general economic conditions of Japan where we are headquartered and conduct a significant amount of our business. As of March 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, 71.8%, 73.9% and 74.5% of our total assets were related to Japanese domestic assets, respectively, including Japanese national government and Japanese government agency bonds which accounted for 45.2%, 69.8% and 75.8% of our total investment securities portfolio. Moreover, approximately three quarters of our total interest and non-interest income related to Japanese domestic income.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, although there were early signs of a recovery of economic conditions in Japan from the recent global recession that began in the second half of 2008, a number of factors still remain that could thwart the recovery of, or lead to another downturn in the Japanese economy. For example, between April 15, 2010 and July 1, 2010, the Nikkei Stock Average declined from ¥11,273.79 to ¥9,191.60. In addition, Japan’s real gross domestic product decreased 2.0 percentage points in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, which was a continuing decrease for the second consecutive year. Japan’s consumer price index for March 2010 decreased 1.2 percentage points year-on-year, and Japan’s unemployment rate for March 2010 rose 0.2 percentage points year-on-year to 5.0%. Japan’s economic recovery may be further influenced by increased

uncertainties surrounding the Japanese political environment, particularly after the ruling Democratic Party lost control of the upper house of the Japanese Diet in the national elections in July 2010. Due to the high concentration of our investment portfolio in Japanese national government and Japanese government agency bonds, significant interest rate fluctuations, and resulting price fluctuations in those securities, may adversely affect our capital ratios. In addition, the economic conditions in Japan are affected by changes in the global economy, which also have a direct impact on our foreign operations. If the economic conditions in Japan or globally remain stagnant or deteriorate, we may report losses on our Japanese national government and Japanese government agency bonds as well as Japanese equity securities. For a further discussion of our results of operations on a geographic basis, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—A. Operating Results—Geographic Segment Analysis.” Deteriorating or stagnant economic conditions may also result in a decrease in the volume in financial transactions in general, which in turn may reduce our income from fees and commissions. For example, our income from fees and commission decreased to ¥1,139.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 from ¥1,188.5 billion for the previous fiscal year mainly due to lower transaction volume.

If our strategic alliance with Morgan Stanley fails, we could suffer financial or reputational loss.

In an effort to better cope with the rapidly changing global business and regulatory environment, we have recently entered into, and plan to continue to seek opportunities for, arrangements to strengthen our global strategic alliance with Morgan Stanley. In May 2010, we and Morgan Stanley created two joint venture securities companies in Japan, Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities Co., Ltd., or MUMSS, and Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities Co., Ltd., or MSMS. We and Morgan Stanley integrated our respective securities subsidiaries in Japan, Mitsubishi UFJ Securities Co., Ltd., or MUS, and Morgan Stanley Japan Securities Co., Ltd., to establish the two joint venture companies. We hold a 60% economic interest in each of MUMSS and MSMS through Mitsubishi UFJ Securities Holdings Co., Ltd., or MUSHD, an intermediate holding company, and Morgan Stanley indirectly holds a 40% economic interest in each of MUMSS and MSMS. We hold a 60% voting interest through MUSHD and Morgan Stanley indirectly holds a 40% voting interest in MUMSS, while we hold a 49% voting interest through MUSHD and Morgan Stanley indirectly holds a 51% voting interest in MSMS. Because MUS’s business represented our core securities business in Japan prior to the formation of the joint venture companies, and because the joint venture companies will be the primary channel through which our retail and wholesale securities business will be conducted, the failure of the joint venture companies to achieve their intended goals due to unanticipated difficulties in integrating their IT or internal control systems or personnel, or the inability to cross-sell products and services as expected, could negatively affectedaffect our retail and wholesale securities business.

In addition, we hold an approximately 20% interest (on a fully diluted basis) in Morgan Stanley. With our current interest in Morgan Stanley, we cannot control its operations and assets or make major decisions without the consent of other shareholders. Thus, Morgan Stanley may make a decision that is inconsistent with our interests. Although we do not control Morgan Stanley, given the magnitude of investment that we have made, if Morgan Stanley encounters financial or other business difficulties, we may suffer a financial loss on our investment or damage to our reputation.

For a more detailed discussion of our joint ventures with, and investment in, Morgan Stanley, see “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business Overview” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Recent Developments.”

Because of our loans to consumers and our shareholdings in companies engaged in consumer lending, changes in the business or regulatory environment for consumer finance companies in Japan may further adversely affect our financial results.

We have a large loan portfolio in the consumer lending industry as well as large shareholdings in subsidiaries and equity method investees in the consumer finance industry. Our domestic loans to consumers amount to approximately one-fifth of our total outstanding loans.

The Japanese government has been implementing regulatory reforms affecting the consumer lending industry in recent years. In December 2006, the Diet passed legislation to reform the regulations relating to the consumer lending business, including amendments to the Law Concerning Acceptance of Investment, Cash Deposit and Interest Rate, etc., which, effective June 18, 2010, reduced the maximum permissible interest rate from 29.2% per annum to 20% per annum. The regulatory reforms also included amendments to the Law Concerning Lending Business, which, effective June 18, 2010, abolished the so-called “gray-zone interest.” Gray-zone interest refers to interest rates exceeding the limits stipulated by the recent global financial instability triggered by disruptionsInterest Rate Restriction Law (between 15% per annum to 20% per annum depending on the amount of principal). Prior to June 18, 2010, gray-zone interest was permitted under certain conditions set forth in the residential mortgage marketLaw Concerning Lending Business. As a result of the regulatory reforms, all interest rates are now subject to the lower limits imposed by the Interest Rate Restriction Law, compelling lending institutions, including our consumer finance subsidiaries and equity method investees, to lower the interest rates they charge borrowers. The new regulations that became effective on June 18, 2010 may also have a further negative impact on the business of consumer finance companies as those new regulations require, among other things, consumer finance companies to review the repayment capability of borrowers before making loans to individual borrowers, thereby limiting the amount of borrowing available to those borrowers.

In addition, as a result of decisions by the Supreme Court of Japan prior to June 18, 2010 imposing stringent requirements under the Law Concerning Lending Business for charging gray-zone interest rates, consumer finance companies have experienced a significant increase in borrowers’ claims for reimbursement of previously collected interest payments in excess of the limits stipulated by the Interest Rate Restriction Law. As of March 31, 2009 and 2010, we had ¥77 billion and ¥84 billion of allowance for repayment of excess interest, respectively. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009 and 2010, we recorded provisions for repayment of excess interest of ¥47.9 billion and ¥44.8 billion, respectively. For the same periods, one of our equity method investees engaged in consumer lending had a negative impact of ¥15.8 billion and ¥23.1 billion, respectively, on equity in losses of equity method investees in our consolidated statement of operations.

These developments have adversely affected, and these and any future developments may further adversely affect, the operations and financial condition of our subsidiaries and borrowers which are engaged in consumer lending, which in turn may affect the value of our related shareholdings and loan portfolio. In particular, to further strengthen our consumer finance business as a core business of our group, in August 2008, we increased our interest in our consolidated subsidiary, Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS Co., Ltd., and separately, in October 2008, increased our interest in an equity method investee, ACOM CO., LTD. As a result of these investments, any negative developments in the United States.consumer finance industry may have a greater impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Increases in interest rates could adversely affect the value of our bond portfolio.

 

The aggregate estimated fair value of the Japanese government and corporate bonds and foreign bonds, including US Treasury bonds, that we hold has increased in recent credit market instability initially triggered by disruptionsfiscal years to 22.9% of our total assets as of March 31, 2010. In particular, the Japanese government and Japanese government agency bonds accounted for 20.2% of our total assets as of March 31, 2010. For a detailed discussion of our bond portfolio, see “Selected Statistical Data—Investment Portfolio.”

The Bank of Japan has been maintaining a very low policy rate (uncollateralized overnight call rate) of 0.10% in an effort to lift the residential mortgage marketeconomy out of deflation. Short-term interest rates continue to decline because of the Bank of Japan’s so-called “monetary easing policy.” Interest rates in other major global financial markets, including the United States resulting from concernsand the European Union, have remained at historic low levels in recent years. An increase in relevant interest rates, particularly if such increase is unexpected or sudden, may have a significant negative effect on the value of our bond portfolio. See “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Business Environment.”

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may result in transaction losses on translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as well as foreign currency translation losses with increased defaultsrespect to our foreign subsidiaries and equity method investees.

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates against the Japanese yen create transaction gains or losses on the translation into Japanese yen of higher risk mortgagesmonetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. To the extent that our foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities are not matched in the same currency or appropriately hedged, we could incur losses due to lower income householdsfuture foreign exchange rate fluctuations. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, the average balance of our foreign interest-bearing assets was ¥47.6 trillion and the average balance of our foreign interest-bearing liabilities was ¥33.7 trillion, representing 27.1% of our average total interest-earning assets and 21.3% of our average total interest-bearing liabilities during the same period. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, net foreign exchange gains, which primarily include transaction gains on the translation into Japanese yen of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and net gains on currency derivatives instruments entered into for trading purposes, were ¥216.7 billion, compared to net foreign exchange losses of ¥206.2 billion for the previous fiscal year. In addition, we may adversely affectincur foreign currency translation losses with respect to our loanforeign subsidiaries and investment portfolios, which includes securitization products such as asset-backed securities. For example,equity method investees due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The average exchange rate for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 was ¥92.85 per US$1.00, compared to the average exchange rate for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 of ¥100.54 per US$1.00. The average exchange rate for the conversion of the US dollar financial statements of some of our investment securities may needforeign subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 was ¥93.57 per US$1.00, compared to be marked at a significantly lower price because a market pricethe average exchange rate for those securities is depressed or not properly quoted. We may also be affected by credit market deterioration caused by defaults on these higher risk residential mortgages. Specifically, the availabilityfiscal year ended December 31, 2008 of credit may become limited, causing some of our counterparties to default, or some of our credit derivative transactions to be negatively affected. For example, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. filed a petition under Chapter 11¥103.46 per US$1.00. The change in the average exchange rate of the Japanese yen against the US Bankruptcy Code on September 15, 2008, as a resultdollar and other foreign currencies had the effect of which we expect an adverse impact of approximately ¥20 to ¥30decreasing total revenue by ¥181.3 billion, on ournet interest income by ¥67.0 billion and income from continuing operations before income tax expense by ¥78.3 billion, respectively, for the fiscal year endingended March 31, 2009. Moreover, the negative developments in the US credit markets may cause significant fluctuations in stock markets globally2010. For more information on foreign exchange gains and losses and foreign currency exchange rates, whichtranslation gains and losses, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—A. Operating Results—Results of Operations.”

Any adverse changes in turn maythe business of Union Bank, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary in the United States, could significantly affect our results of operation. If credit market conditions continueoperations.

Union Bank, N.A., or Union Bank, is the primary subsidiary of UnionBanCal Corporation, or UNBC, which is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary. Union Bank has historically contributed to deteriorate,a significant portion of our capital funding structure may neednet income. UNBC reported net income of $608.1 million and $269.9 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, and a net loss of $65.0 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. Compared to be adjusted, our funding costs may increase, or our credit-related losses may increase, all offiscal years prior to the fiscal year ended March 2009, any adverse developments which could arise at Union Bank will have a materialgreater negative impact on our financial results of operation and financial condition.condition, because Union Bank became, through UNBC, our wholly owned subsidiary in November 2008 compared with approximately 64% ownership in prior years. Moreover, the risks relating to Union Bank have increased as Union Bank has been expanding its business through acquisitions of community banks. In April 2010, Union Bank acquired approximately $600 million in total assets and assumed more than $400 million in deposits of Tamalpais Bank, a California-based bank, and acquired approximately $3.2 billion in total assets and assumed approximately $2.5 billion in deposits of Frontier Bank, a Washington-based bank, pursuant to its respective purchase and assumption agreements with the US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. If Union Bank is unable to achieve the benefits expected from its business strategies, including its business expansion strategy through acquisitions of failing community banks, we will suffer an adverse financial impact. Other factors that have negatively affected, and could continue to negatively affect, Union Bank’s results include adverse economic conditions in California, including the downturn in the real estate and housing industries in California, substantial competition in the California banking market, uncertainty over the US economy, the threat of terrorist attacks, fluctuating oil prices, rising interest rates, negative trends in debt ratings, and additional costs which may arise from enterprise-wide compliance, or failure to comply, with applicable laws and regulations, such as the US Bank Secrecy Act and related amendments under the USA PATRIOT Act.

The valuationWe may incur further losses as a result of certain financial instruments relies on quoted market prices that may fluctuate significantly.

A substantial portion of the assets on our balance sheet comprises financial instruments that we carry at fair value. Generally, in order to establish the fair value of these instruments, we rely on quoted market prices. If the value of a financial instrument carried at fair value declines, a corresponding write-down may be recognized in our income statement. As the global financial markets became unstable following concerns of increased defaults of higher risk mortgages in the United States, there have been increasing circumstances where quoted market prices for securities became significantly depressed or were not properly quoted. Significant fluctuations in the market or disfunctionalities in the market could have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the financial instruments that we hold.

Our business may be adversely affected by negative developments with respectdifficulties relating to other financial institutions, both directly and through the effect they may have on the overall banking environment and on their borrowers.

 

Some domestic and foreign financial institutions, including banks, non-bank lending and credit institutions, securities companies and insurance companies, have experienced declining asset quality and capital adequacy and other financial problems. This may lead to severe liquidity and solvency problems, which have in the past resulted in the liquidation, government control or restructuring of affected institutions. For example, the recent deterioration of the asset-backed securitization products market and residential mortgage market in the United States resulted in Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. filing a petition under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code. OtherMany banks, securities companies, insurance companies and other financial institutions, especially US and European institutions, continue to be underface significant pressure due to declining asset quality as a result of recent deteriorationthe continuing weakness of the global financial markets.markets and due to legislative and regulatory developments affecting them. Allegations or governmental prosecution of improper trading activities or inappropriate business conduct of a specific financial institution could also negatively affect the public perception of other global financial institutions individually and the global financial industry as a whole. These developments are expectedmay continue to adversely affect our financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009. Other financialresults.

Financial difficulties relating to financial institutions could adversely affect us because:

because we have extended loans, some of which may need to be classified as nonaccrual and restructured loans, to banks, securities companies, insurance companies and other financial institutions that are not our consolidated subsidiaries;

subsidiaries. Our loans to banks and other financial institutions have been more than 5% of our total loans as of each year-end in the three fiscal years ended March 31, 2010, with the percentage increasing from 7.5% to 7.7% between March 31, 2009 and 2010. We may also be adversely affected because we are a shareholder of some other banks and financial institutions that are not our consolidated subsidiaries;

subsidiaries, including Japanese regional banks as part of our general equity investment securities portfolio. In addition, we held an approximately 20% interest in Morgan Stanley on a fully diluted basis as of March 31, 2010. We may also be requested to participateadversely affected because we enter into transactions, such as derivative transactions, in providing assistance to support distressedthe ordinary course of business, with other banks and financial institutions that are not our consolidated subsidiaries;

the government may elect to provide regulatory, tax, funding oras counterparties. For example, we enter into credit derivatives with banks, broker-dealers, insurance and other benefits to those financial institutions to strengthen their capital, facilitate their sale or otherwise, which in turn may increase their competitiveness against us;for managing credit risk exposures, for facilitating client transactions, and for proprietary trading purpose. The notional amount of the protection we sold through these instruments was ¥4.1 trillion as of March 31, 2010.

bankruptcies or government support or control of financial institutions could generally undermine confidence in financial institutions or adversely affect the overall banking environment;

negative media coverage of the financial industry, regardless of its accuracy and applicability to us, could affect customer or investor sentiment, harm our reputation and have a materially adverse effect on our business or the price of our securities;

new regulations may be adopted to prevent future difficulties of financial institutions, which could increase our short term costs; and

we could be perceived to be facing the same issues as other financial institutions that hold assets with no market liquidity or with significantly depressed values as a result of the significantly negative views about the financial services industry in general.

Changes in interest rate policy, particularly unexpected or sudden increases in interest rates, could adversely affect the value of our bond and financial derivative portfolios, problem loans and results of operations.

We hold a significant amount of Japanese government bonds and foreign bonds, including US Treasury bonds. We also hold a large financial derivative portfolio, consisting primarily of interest-rate futures, swaps and

options, for our asset liability management. An increase in relevant interest rates, particularly if such increase is unexpected or sudden, may negatively affect the value of our bond portfolio and reduce the so called “spread,” which is the difference between the rate of interest earned and the rate of interest paid. In addition, an increase in relevant interest rates may increase losses on our derivative portfolio and increase our problem loans as some of our borrowers may not be able to meet the increased interest payment requirements, thereby adversely affecting our results of operations and financial condition. For a detailed discussion of our bond portfolio, see “Selected Statistical Data—Investment Portfolio.”

Our trading and investment activities as well as our international operations expose us to interest rate, exchange rate and other risks.

We undertake extensive trading and investment activities involving a variety of financial instruments, including derivatives. We also have significant business operations abroad, including operations of UNBC, in the United States and elsewhere. Our income from these activities as well as our foreign assets and liabilities resulting from our international operations are subject to volatility caused by, among other things, changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and equity and debt prices. For example:

increases in interest rates mayindirectly have an adverse effect on the value of our fixed income securities portfolio, as discussed in “—Changes in interest rate policy, particularly unexpected or sudden increases in interest rates, could adversely affect the value of our bond and financial derivatives portfolios, problem loans and results of operations” above; andus because:

 

fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates against the Japanese yen may adversely affect our financial condition, including our capital ratios, to the extent that our foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are not matched in the same currency or appropriately hedged, and will create foreign currency translation gains or losses, as described in “Item 5.

Our trading and investment activities in financial instruments may also be adversely affected by regulatory measures taken by government agencies, such as the SEC measures taken recently to limit certain types of shortselling in securities. Our results of operations and financial condition are exposed to the risks of loss associated with these activities. For a discussion of our investment portfolio and related risks see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financial Condition—Investment Portfolio” and “Item 11.

We may not be ableOur strategy to maintain our capital ratios above minimum required levels, which could result in the suspension of some or all of our operations.

We, as a holding company, and our Japanese banking subsidiaries are required to maintain risk-weighted capital ratios above the levels specified in the capital adequacy guidelines of the Financial Services Agency of Japan. The capital ratios are calculated in accordance with Japanese banking regulations based on information derived from the relevant entity’s financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, or Japanese GAAP. Our subsidiaries in California, UNBC and Union Bank of California, N.A. are subject to similar US capital adequacy guidelines. We or our banking subsidiaries may be unable to continue to satisfy the capital adequacy requirements because of:

increases in credit risk assets and expected losses we or our banking subsidiaries may incur due to fluctuations in our or our banking subsidiaries’ loan and securities portfolios as a result of deteriorations in the credit of our borrowers and the issuers of equity and debt securities;

increases in credit costs we or our banking subsidiaries may incur as we or our banking subsidiaries dispose of problem loans or as a result of deteriorations in the credit of our borrowers;

declines in the value of our or our banking subsidiaries’ securities portfolio;

changes in the capital ratio requirements or in the guidelines regarding the calculation of bank holding companies’ or banks’ capital ratios or changes in the regulatory capital requirements for securities firms;

a reduction in the value of our or our banking subsidiaries’ deferred tax assets;

adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates; and

other adverse developments discussed in these risk factors.

Our capital ratios may also be adversely affected if we or our banking subsidiaries fail to refinance our subordinated debt obligations with equally subordinated debt.As of March 31, 2008, subordinated debt accounted for approximately 29.8% of our total regulatory capital, 31.2% of BTMU’s total regulatory capital, and 21.4% of total regulatory capital of Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking, or MUTB, in each case, as calculated under Japanese GAAP. The failure to refinance these subordinated debt obligations with equally subordinated debt may reduce our total regulatory capital and, as a result, negatively affect our capital ratios.

If our capital ratios fall below required levels, the Financial Services Agency could require us to take a variety of corrective actions, including withdrawal from all international operations or suspension of all or part of our business operations. For a discussion of our capital ratios and the related regulatory guidelines, see “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—Japan—Capital Adequacy” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Adequacy.”

We may have difficulty achieving the benefits expected from the recently completed and planned mergers and other business combinations.

In line with our ongoing strategic effort to create a leading comprehensive financial group that offers a broad range of financial products and services, we have recently completed and are planning to complete mergers and other business combinations, including transactions with some of our subsidiaries and equity-method investees. For example, on August 29, 2008, BTMU commenced a tender offer to acquire all of the shares of UNBC’s common stock not owned by us. On September 16, 2008, we commenced a tender offer to acquire additional common shares of ACOM Co., Ltd. We also review opportunities to pursue new acquisitions or business combinations regularly.

If a planned merger or business combination fails, we may be subject to various material risks. For example, our growth strategies in Japan and globally may not be implemented as planned. In addition, the price of our stock may decline to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that any pending transaction will be completed. Furthermore, our costs related to any planned transaction, including legal, accounting and certain financial adviser fees, must be paid even if the transaction is not completed. Our reputation may also be harmed due to our failure to complete an announced transaction. Even after a transaction is completed, there are various risks that could adversely affect our ability to achieve our business objectives, including:

The growth opportunities and other expected benefits of these business combinations or acquisitions may not be realized in the expected time period and unanticipated problems could arise in the integration process, including unanticipated expenses related to the integration process as well as delays or other difficulties in coordinating, consolidating and integrating personnel, information and management systems, and customer products and services;

We may be unable to cross-sell our products and services as effectively as anticipated and we may lose customers and business as some of the operations are reorganized, consolidated with other businesses and, in some cases, rebranded;

We may have difficulty in coordinating the operations of our subsidiaries and affiliates as planned due to legal restrictions, internal conflict or market resistance;

The diversion of management and key employees’ attention may detract from our ability to increase revenues and minimize costs; and

We may encounter difficulties in penetrating certain markets due to adverse reactions to our newly acquired ownership in, or closer affiliation with, other financial institutions or businesses.

Any of the foregoing and other risks may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and stock price. For a more detailed discussion of recently completed and planned mergers and other business combinations involving our subsidiaries and affiliates, see “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business Overview” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Recent Developments.”

Any adverse changes in UNBC’s business could significantly affect our results of operations.

UNBC contributes to a significant portion of our net income. Any adverse change in the business or operations of UNBC could significantly affect our results of operations. Factors that could negatively affect UNBC’s results include adverse economic conditions in California, including the downturn in the real estate and housing industries in California, substantial competition in the California banking market, uncertainty over the US economy due to deteriorating credit markets in the United States, the threat of terrorist attacks, fluctuating oil prices and rising interest rates, negative trends in debt ratings, and additional costs and other adverse consequences which may arise from enterprise-wide compliance, or failure to comply, with applicable laws and regulations such as the US Bank Secrecy Act and related amendments under the USA PATRIOT Act. We will be more significantly impaired by any adverse developments at UNBC if we are able to successfully acquire the shares for which we have launched a tender offer and complete the planned second-step merger after the tender offer.

We are exposed to new or increased risks as we expand the range of our financial products and services and the geographic scope of our business.business globally may fail if we are unable to anticipate or manage new or expanded risks that entail such expansion.

 

As weWe continue to seek opportunities to expand the range of our products and services beyond our traditional banking and trust businesses, through development and asintroduction of new products and services or through acquisitions of or investments in financial institutions with products and services that complement our business. For

example, taking advantage of our financial holding company status which enables us to underwrite securities, we are currently seeking to expand our corporate banking operations in the United States. In addition, the sophistication of financial products and management systems grows,has been growing significantly in recent years. As a result, we will beare exposed to new and increasingly complex risks. We may have only limited experience with the risks related to the expanded range of these products and services. As a result, we may not be able to foresee certain risks, and new products and services we introduce may not gain acceptance among customers. Moreover, someSome of the activities that our subsidiaries are expected to engage in, such as derivatives and foreign currency trading, present substantial risks. In some cases, we have only limited experience with the risks related to the expanded range of these products and services. In addition, we may not be able to successfully develop or operate the necessary information systems. As a result, we may not be able to foresee the risks relating to new products and services. As we expand the geographic scope of our business, we will also be exposed to risks that are unique to particular jurisdictions or markets. Our risk management systems may prove to be inadequate and may not work in all cases or to the degree required. As a result, we are subject toThe substantial market, credit, compliance and otherregulatory risks in relation to the expanding scope of our products, services and trading activities or expanding our business beyond our traditional markets, which could result in us incurring substantial losses. In addition, our efforts to offer new services and products or penetrate new markets may not succeed if product or market opportunities develop more slowly than expected, if our new services or products are not well accepted among customers, or if the profitability of opportunities is undermined by competitive pressures. For a detailed discussion of our risk management systems, see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Credit, Market and Other Risk.”

 

ChangesUnanticipated economic changes in, the business environment for consumer finance companiesand measures taken in Japan have adversely affected our recent financial results, and may further adversely affect our future financial results.

We have a large loan portfolioresponse to the consumer lending industry as well as large shareholdings of consumer finance companies. The Japanese government has been implementing regulatory reforms affecting the consumer lending industrysuch changes by, emerging market countries could result in recent years. In December 2006, the Diet passed legislation to reduce the maximum permissible interest rate under the Law Concerning Acceptance of Investment, Cash, Deposit and Interest Rate, etc., which is currently 29.2% per annum, to 20% per annum. The reduction in the maximum permissible interest rate will be implemented before mid-2010. Under the reforms, all interest rates will be subject to the lower limits (15-20% per annum) imposed by the Interest Rate Restriction Law, which will compel, or has already compelled, lending institutions to lower the interest rates they charge borrowers.

Currently, consumer finance companies are able to charge interest rates exceeding the limits stipulated by the Interest Rate Restriction Law, provided that they satisfy certain conditions set forth in the Law Concerning Lending Business. Accordingly, MUFG’s consumer finance subsidiaries and equity-method investees offer loans at interest rates above the Interest Rate Restriction Law. As a result of recent decisions by the Supreme Court of Japan, consumer finance companies experienced a significant increase in borrowers’ claims for reimbursement of previously collected interest payments in excess of the limits stipulated by the Interest Rate Restriction Law. New regulations that are scheduled to be effective before mid-2010 may also have a negative impact on the business of consumer finance companies as those new regulations are expected to require, among other things, consumer finance companies to review the repayment capability of borrowers before lending, thereby limiting the amount of borrowing available to individual borrowers.

These and other related developments have adversely affected, and may further adversely affect, the operations and financial condition of our subsidiaries and borrowers which are engaged in consumer lending, which in turn may affect the value of our related shareholdings and loan portfolio. For example, there may be increases in the allowance for repayment of excess interest at our consumer finance subsidiaries. Additionally, these developments may have indirect negative financial consequences for us, such as a change in our tax circumstances or an increase in our valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as a result of a decline in the estimated future taxable income of our consumer finance subsidiaries and may negatively affect market perception of our consumer lending operations, thereby adversely affecting the future financial results.

We have recently been subject to several regulatory actions for non-compliance with legal requirements. These regulatory matters and any future regulatory matters or regulatory changes could have a negative impact on our business and results of operations.additional losses.

 

We conduct our business subject to ongoing regulation and associated regulatory compliance risks, including the effects of changes in laws, regulations, policies, voluntary codes of practice and interpretations in Japan and other markets in which we operate. Our compliance risk management systems and programs may not be fully effective in preventing all violations of laws, regulations and rules.

The Financial Services Agency of Japan and regulatory authorities in the United States and elsewhere also have the authority to conduct, at any time, inspections to review banks’ accounts, including those of our banking subsidiaries. Some of our other financial services businesses, such as our securities business, are also subject to regulations set by, and inspections conducted by, various self-regulatory organizations, such as the National Securities Dealers Association in the United States.In recent years, we have been subject to several regulatory actions by, among others, the Financial Services Agency of Japan, the Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission of Japan and various US banking regulators.

Our failure or inability to comply fully with applicable laws and regulations could lead to fines, public reprimands, damage to reputation, enforced suspension of operations or, in extreme cases, withdrawal of authorization to operate, adversely affecting our business and results of operations. Regulatory matters may also negatively affect our ability to obtain regulatory approvals for future strategic initiatives. Furthermore, failure to take necessary corrective action, or the discovery of violations of law in the process of further review of any of the matters mentioned above or in the process of implementing any corrective measures, could result in further regulatory action.

In addition, future developments or changes in laws, regulations, policies, voluntary codes of practice, fiscal or other policies and their effects are unpredictable and beyond our control. For example, new regulations to be enacted before mid-2010 are expected to require, among other things, consumer finance companies in Japan to review the repayment capabilities of borrowers before lending, thereby limiting the amount of borrowing available to individual borrowers, which in turn may negatively affect our future financial results.

Our business may be adversely affected by competitive pressures, which have partly increased due to regulatory changes and recent market changes in the financial industry domestically and globally.

In recent years, the Japanese financial system has been increasingly deregulated and barriers to competition have been reduced. The privatization of the Japanese postal savings system and the establishment of the Japan Post Bank Co., Ltd. in October 2007, as well as the planned privatization of certain governmental financial institutions, could also substantially increase competition within the financial services industry. In addition, there has been significant consolidation and convergence among financial institutions domestically and globally, and this trend may continue in the future and further increase competition in the market. A number of large commercial banks and other broad-based financial services firms have merged or formed strategic alliances with other financial institutions both in Japan and overseas. If we are unable to compete effectively in this more competitive and deregulated business environment, our business, results of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected. For a more detailed discussion of our competition in Japan, see “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Competition—Japan.”

Our information systems and other aspects of our business and operations are exposed to various system, political and social risks.

As a major financial institution, our information systems and other aspects of our business and operations are exposed to various system, political and social risks beyond our control. Incidents such as disruptions of the Internet and other information networks due to major virus outbreaks, major terrorist activity, serious political instability and major health epidemics have the potential to directly affect our business and operations by disrupting our operational infrastructure or internal systems. Such incidents may also negatively impact the economic conditions, political regimes and social infrastructure of countries and regions in which we operate, and possibly the global economy as a whole. Our risk management policies and procedures may be insufficient to address these and other large-scale unanticipated risks.

In particular, the capacity and reliability of our electronic information technology systems are critical to our day-to-day operations and a failure or disruption of these systems would adversely affect our capacity to conduct our business. In addition to our own internal information systems, we also provide our customers with access to our services and products through the Internet and ATMs. These systems as well as our hardware and software are subject to malfunction or incapacitation due to human error, accidents, power loss, sabotage, hacking, computer viruses and similar events, as well as the loss of support services from third parties such as telephone and Internet service providers.

Additionally, as with other Japanese companies, our offices and other facilities are subject to the risk of earthquakes and other natural disasters. Our redundancy and backup measures may not be sufficient to avoid a material disruption in our operations, and our contingency plans may not address all eventualities that may occur in the event of a material disruption.

These various factors, the threat of such risks or related countermeasures, or a failure to address such risks, may materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

We may be subject to liability and regulatory action if we are unable to protect personal and other confidential information.

There have been many cases where personal information and records in the possession of corporations and institutions were leaked or improperly accessed. In the event that personal information in our possession about our customers or employees is leaked or improperly accessed and subsequently misused, we may be subject to liability and regulatory action. As an institution in possession of personal information, we are required to treat personal and other confidential information as required by the Personal Information Protection Act of Japan. We may have to provide compensation for economic loss and emotional distress arising out of a failure to protect such information in accordance with the Personal Information Protection Act. In addition, such incidents could create a negative public perception of our operations, systems or brand, which may in turn decrease customer and market confidence and materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

A downgrade of our credit ratings could have a negative effect on our business.

A downgrade of our credit ratings by one or more of the credit rating agencies could have a negative effect on our treasury operations and other aspects of our business. In the event of a downgrade of our credit ratings, our treasury business unit may have to accept less favorable terms in our transactions with counterparties, including capital raising activities, or may be unable to enter into some transactions. This could have a negative impact on the profitability of our treasury and other operations and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We may have to compensate for losses in our loan trusts and money in trusts.

Our trust bank subsidiary may have to compensate for losses of principal of all loan trusts and some money in trusts. Funds in those guaranteed trusts are generally invested in loans and securities. If the amount of assets and reserves held in the guaranteed trusts falls below the principal as a result of loan losses, losses in the investment portfolio or otherwise, it would adversely affect our results of operations.

Damage to our reputation could harm our business.

We are one of the largest and most influential financial institutions in Japan by virtue of our market share and the size of our operations and customer base. Our reputation is critical in maintaining our relationships with clients, investors, regulators and the general public. Our reputation could be damaged by numerous causes, including, among others, system troubles, employee misconduct, failure to properly address potential conflicts of interest, litigation, compliance failures, the activities of customers and counterparties over which we have limited or no control, and exacting scrutiny from regulatory authorities and customers regarding our trade practices and potential abuses of our dominant bargaining position in our dealings with customers. If we are unable to prevent or properly address these causes, we could lose existing or prospective customers and investors, in which case our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

We are exposed to substantial credit and market risks in Asia, Latin America and other regions.

We are active, in Asia, Latin America and other regions through a network of branches and subsidiaries, and are thus exposed to a variety of credit andin emerging market risks associated withcountries, particularly countries in these regions. AAsia, Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe, and the Middle East, whose economies can be volatile and susceptible to adverse changes and trends in the global financial markets. For example, a decline in the value of Asian, Latin American or other relevantlocal currencies of these countries could adverselynegatively affect the creditworthiness of some of our borrowers in those regions. For example, thethese countries. The loans we have made to Asian, Latin American and other overseas borrowers and banks in these countries are often denominated in yen, US dollars, Euro or other foreign currencies. These borrowers often do not hedge the loans to protect against fluctuations in the values of local currencies. A devaluation of the local currency would make it more difficult for a borrower earning income in that currency to pay its debts to us and other foreign lenders. In addition, some countries in which we operate may attempt to support the value of their currencies by raising domestic interest rates. If this happens, the borrowers in these countries would have to devote more of their resources to repaying their domestic obligations, which may adversely affect their ability to repay their debts to us and other foreign lenders. The limited credit availability resulting from these and related conditions may adversely affect economic conditions in some countries. This could cause a further deterioration of the credit quality of borrowers and banks in those countries and cause us to incur further losses.

In addition, we Some emerging market countries may also change their monetary or other economic policies in response to political instabilities or pressures, which are activedifficult to predict. As of March 31, 2010, based on the domicile of obligors, our assets in Europe, Asia and Oceania (excluding Japan), and other regions that expose us to risks similar toareas (excluding Japan and the risks described aboveUnited States) were ¥15.8 trillion, ¥8.4 trillion and also risks specific to those regions, which may cause us to incur losses or suffer other adverse effects.¥5.2 trillion, representing 7.9%, 4.2% and 2.6% of our total assets. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financial Condition.”

 

WeOur business mayincur significant additional costs for implementing effective internal controls. be adversely affected by competitive pressures, which have partly increased due to regulatory changes and recent market changes in the financial industry domestically and globally.

 

In orderrecent years, the Japanese financial system has been undergoing significant changes and regulatory barriers to operatecompetition have been reduced. In particular, any further reform of the Japanese postal savings system, under which the Japan Post Group companies, including Japan Post Bank Co., Ltd., were established in October 2007, could substantially increase competition within the financial services industry as Japan Post Bank, with the largest deposit base and branch network in Japan, may begin to offer financial services in competition with our business operations generating fee income. In addition, there has been significant consolidation and convergence among financial institutions domestically and globally, and this trend may continue in the future and further increase competition in the market. A number of large commercial banks and other broad-based financial

services firms have merged or formed strategic alliances with, or have acquired, other financial institutions both in Japan and overseas. As a result of the strategic alliance and the joint venture companies that we formed with Morgan Stanley, we may be newly perceived as a globalcompetitor by some of the financial institution, it is essential for usinstitutions with which we had a more cooperative relationship in the past. If we are unable to have effective internal controls, corporate compliance functions,compete effectively in this more competitive and accounting systems to managederegulated business environment, our assetsbusiness, results of operations and operations. Moreover, under the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which applies by reasonfinancial condition will be adversely affected. For a more detailed discussion of our status as an SEC reporting company, we are

required to establish internal control over our financial reporting, and our management is required to assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and disclose whether such internal control is effective. Our independent auditors must also conduct an audit to evaluate and then render an opinioncompetition in Japan, see “Item 4.B. Information on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We are also subject to regulations on internal control over financial reporting under Japanese law from the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009.Company—Business Overview—Competition—Japan.”

 

DesigningFuture changes in accounting standards and implementing an effective system of internal control capable of monitoring and managingregulatory requirements could have a negative impact on our business and operations requiresresults of operations.

Future developments or changes in laws, regulations, policies, standards, voluntary codes of practice and their effects are unpredictable and beyond our control. For example, Japanese and other international organizations that set accounting standards have released proposals to revise accounting standards applicable to retirement benefit obligations. For example, the Accounting Standards Board of Japan has published proposals that, if adopted, would require companies preparing their financial statements in accordance with Japanese GAAP to record as liabilities on balance sheets actuarial losses and unrecognized past service cost, which are currently not recorded as liabilities on balance sheets. The proposed changes, if adopted, could have a significant managementnegative impact on our capital ratios since we calculate our capital ratios in accordance with Japanese banking regulations based on information derived from our financial statements prepared in accordance with Japanese GAAP. For more information, see “—Risks Related to Our Business—We may not be able to maintain our capital ratios above minimum required levels, which could result in the suspension of some or all of our operations.”

In addition, in response to the recent instabilities in financial markets, several international organizations which set accounting standards have released proposals to revise standards on accounting for financial instruments. Accounting standards applicable to financial instruments remain subject to debate and human resourcesrevision by international organizations which set accounting standards. If the current accounting standards change in the future, the reported values of some of our financial instruments may need to be modified, and considerable costs. If we identify any material weaknesses insuch modification could have a significant impact on our internal control system, we mayfinancial results or financial condition. For more information, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Critical Accounting Estimates.”

We could also be required to incur significant additional costs for remediating such weaknesses. In addition,expenses to comply with new standards and regulations. For example, if we adopt a new accounting system in the future, we may be required to incur significant additional costs for establishing and implementing effective internal controls, which may materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, additional regulatory requirements could have an adverse impact on our future business and results of operations. For example, new regulations relating to the consumer lending business which became effective in June 2010 impose, among other things, stricter requirements for consumer finance companies in Japan to review the repayment capabilities of borrowers before lending, thereby limiting the amount of borrowing available to individual borrowers, which in turn may negatively affect our profitability. For more information on regulatory changes in the consumer finance industry,see “—Risks Related to Our Business—Because of our loans to consumers and our shareholdings in companies engaged in consumer lending, changes in the business or regulatory environment for consumer finance companies in Japan may further adversely affect our financial results.”

 

Transactions with counterparties in countries designated by the US Department of State as state sponsors of terrorism may lead some potential customers and investors in the USUnited States and other countries to avoid doing business with us or investing in our shares.

 

We, through our banking subsidiaries, engage in operations with entities in or affiliated with Iran and Syria, including transactions with entities owned or controlled by the Iranian or Syrian governments, and the banking

subsidiary has a representative office in Iran. The US Department of State has designated Iran, Syria and Syriaother countries as “state sponsors of terrorism,” and US law generally prohibits US persons from doing business with such countries. Our activities with counterparties in or affiliated with Iran, Syria and other countries designated as state sponsors of terrorism are conducted in compliance in all material respects with both applicable Japanese and US regulations.

 

Our operations with entities in Iran consist primarily of loans to Iranian financial institutions in the form of financing for petroleum projects and trade financing for general commercial purposes, as well as letters of credit and foreign exchange services. In addition, ourOur operations relating to Syria are primarily foreign exchange services. We do not believe our operations relating to Iran and Syria are material to our business or financial condition and resultscondition. As of operations, asMarch 31, 2010, the loans outstanding to borrowers in or affiliated with Iran and Syria as of March 31, 2008 were approximately $410.4$48.0 million, and $0.2 million, respectively, which together represented less than 0.1%0.01% of our total assets, as of March 31, 2008.and we did not have any loans outstanding to the financial institutions specifically listed by the US government. We did not have any loans outstanding with entities in or affiliated with Syria, including the financial institutions specifically listed by the US government. In addition, we receive deposits or hold assets on behalf of several individuals resident in Japan who are citizens of countries designated as state sponsorsponsors of terrorism.

 

We are aware of initiatives by US governmental entities and US institutional investors, such as pension funds, to adopt or consider adopting laws, regulations or policies prohibiting transactions with or investment in, or requiring divestment from, entities doing business with Iran, Syria and other countries identified as state sponsors of terrorism. It is also possible that such initiatives may result in our being unable to gain or retain entities subject to such prohibitions as customers or as investors in our shares. In addition, depending on socio-political developments, our reputation may suffer due to our association with these countries. The above circumstances could have a significantan adverse effect on our business and financial condition.condition.The US government has recently enacted new legislation designed to limit economic and financial transactions with Iran. This or any similar legislative developments initiated by the US government may further restrict our business operations, and our failure to comply may result in regulatory action against us.

 

We may not be able to maintain our capital ratios above minimum required levels, which could result in the suspension of some or all of our operations.

We, as a holding company, and our Japanese banking subsidiaries are required to maintain risk-weighted capital ratios above the levels specified in the capital adequacy guidelines of the Financial Services Agency of Japan. As of March 31, 2010, our total risk-adjusted capital ratio was 14.87% compared to the minimum risk-adjusted capital ratio required of 8.00%, and our Tier I capital ratio was 10.63% compared to the minimum Tier I capital ratio required of 4.00%. Our capital ratios are calculated in accordance with Japanese banking regulations based on information derived from our financial statements prepared in accordance with Japanese GAAP. In addition, some of our subsidiaries are also subject to the capital adequacy rules of various foreign countries, including the United States where each of MUFG, BTMU, MUTB and UNBC is a financial holding company under the US Bank Holding Company Act. We or our banking subsidiaries may be unable to continue to satisfy the capital adequacy requirements because of:

Ÿ

increases in credit risk assets and expected losses we or our subsidiaries may incur due to fluctuations in our or our subsidiaries’ loan and securities portfolios as a result of deteriorations in the credit of our borrowers and the issuers of equity and debt securities;

Ÿ

increases in credit costs we or our subsidiaries may incur as we or our subsidiaries dispose of problem loans or as a result of deteriorations in the credit of our borrowers;

Ÿ

declines in the value of our or our subsidiaries’ securities portfolio;

Ÿ

changes in the capital ratio requirements or in the guidelines regarding the calculation of bank holding companies’ or banks’ capital ratios or changes in the regulatory capital requirements for securities firms;

Ÿ

a reduction in the value of our or our subsidiaries’ deferred tax assets;

Ÿ

adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates; or

Ÿ

other adverse developments discussed in these risk factors.

In December 2009, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision released proposals designed to strengthen global capital and liquidity regulations. The various proposals, if adopted, could impose stricter capital requirements and new liquidity requirements on global financial institutions such as us. If the proposals, including any new proposals released thereafter, are adopted, the Japanese capital ratio framework is expected to be revised in substantial conformity with them, thereby imposing possibly more stringent requirements on Japanese financial institutions, including us.

If our capital ratios fall below required levels, the Financial Services Agency of Japan could require us to take a variety of corrective actions, including withdrawal from all international operations or suspension of all or part of our business operations. In addition, if the capital ratios of our subsidiaries subject to capital adequacy rules of foreign jurisdictions fall below the required levels, the local regulators could also take action against them that may result in reputational damage or financial losses to us. For a discussion of our capital ratios and the related regulatory guidelines, see “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Adequacy.”

If the goodwill recorded in connection with our acquisitions becomes impaired, we may be required to record impairment charges, which may adversely affect our financial results and the price of our securities.

In accordance with US GAAP, we have accounted for our acquisitions using the purchase method of accounting. We recorded the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the acquired companies as goodwill. US GAAP requires us to test goodwill for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired.

The recent global financial crisis and recession led to the decline in our market capitalization and negatively affected the fair value of our reporting units for purposes of our periodic testing of goodwill for impairment. As a result, we recorded ¥893.7 billion, ¥845.8 billion and ¥0.5 billion of goodwill impairment charges for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. As of March 31, 2010, the balance of goodwill was ¥381.5 billion.

We may be required to record additional impairment charges relating to goodwill in future periods if the fair value of any of our reporting units declines below the fair value of related assets net of liabilities. Any additional impairment charges will negatively affect our financial results, and the price of our securities could be adversely affected. For a detailed discussion of the goodwill recorded and our periodic testing of goodwill for impairment, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Critical Accounting Estimates—Accounting for Goodwill and Intangible Assets” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financial Condition—Goodwill.”

Risks Related to Owning Our Shares

 

Rights of shareholders under Japanese law may be different from those under the laws of jurisdictions within the United States and other countries.

Our articles of incorporation, the regulations of our board of directors and the Company Law of Japan, or the Company Law (also known as the Corporation Act), govern our corporate affairs. Legal principles relating to such matters as the validity of corporate procedures, directors’ and officers’ fiduciary duties and shareholders rights are different from those that would apply if we were not a Japanese corporation. Shareholders rights under Japanese law are different in some respects from shareholders rights under the laws of jurisdictions within the United States and other countries. You may have more difficulty in asserting your rights as a shareholder than you would as a shareholder of a corporation organized in a jurisdiction outside of Japan. For a detailed discussion of the relevant provisions under the Company Law and our articles of incorporation, see “Item 10.B. Additional Information—Memorandum and Articles of Association.”

It may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or our directors, corporate auditors or other management members, or to enforce against us or those persons judgments obtained in US courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the US federal or state securities laws of the United States.laws.

 

We are a joint stock company incorporated under the laws of Japan. Almost all of our directors, corporate auditors or other management members reside outside the United States. Many of our assets and the assets of these persons are located in Japan and elsewhere outside the United States. It may not be possible, therefore, for US investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or these persons or to enforce, against us or these persons, judgments obtained in the US courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the US federal or state securities laws of the United States. laws.

We believe that there is doubt as to the enforceability in Japan, in original actions or in actions brought in Japanese courts to enforce judgments of US courts, of claims predicated solely upon the US federal or state securities laws mainly because the Civil Execution Act of Japan requires Japanese courts to deny requests for the enforcement of judgments of foreign courts if foreign judgments fail to satisfy the requirements prescribed by the Civil Execution Act, including:

Ÿ

the jurisdiction of the foreign court be recognized under laws, regulations, treaties or conventions;

Ÿ

proper service of process be made on relevant defendants, or relevant defendants be given appropriate protection if such service is not received;

Ÿ

the judgment and proceedings of the foreign court not be repugnant to public policy as applied in Japan; and

Ÿ

there exist reciprocity as to the recognition by a court of the relevant foreign jurisdiction of a final judgment of a Japanese court.

Judgments obtained in the US courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the United States.US federal or state securities laws may not satisfy these requirements.

 

Risks Related to Owning Our ADSs

 

As a holder of ADSs, you have fewer rights than a shareholder andof record in our shareholder register since you must act through the depositary to exercise these rights.

 

The rights of our shareholders under Japanese law to take actions such as voting, their shares, receiving dividends and distributions, bringing derivative actions, examining our accounting books and records and exercising appraisal rights are available only to shareholders of record. Because the depositary, through its custodian, is the record holder of the shares underlying the American Depositary Shares, or ADSs, a holder of ADSs mayonly the depositary can exercise shareholder rights relating to the deposited shares. ADS holders, in their capacity, will not be entitledable to the same rights as a shareholder. In your capacity as an ADS holder, you are not able todirectly bring a derivative action, examine our accounting books and records orand exercise appraisal rights, except throughrights. We have appointed The Bank of New York Mellon as depositary, and we have the authority to replace the depositary.

As a result, you may be prevented from having the rights in connection with the deposited shares exercised in the way you had wished or at all.

ADS holders are dependent on the depositary to receive our communications. We send to the depositary all of our communications to ADS holders, including annual reports, notices and voting materials, in Japanese. ADS holders may not receive all of our communications with shareholders of record in our shareholder register in the same manner or on an equal basis.

Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc.

 

MUFG is a bank holding company incorporated as a joint stock company (kabushiki kaisha) under the Company Law of Japan. We are the holding company for The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., or BTMU, Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation, or MUTB, and Mitsubishi UFJ Securities Holdings Co., Ltd., or MUSHD, Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities Co., Ltd., or MUS andMUMSS, Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS Co., Ltd., or Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS.NICOS, and other companies engaged in a wide range of financial businesses.

 

On April 2, 2001, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd., Mitsubishi Trust and Banking Corporation, or Mitsubishi Trust Bank, and Nippon Trust Bank Limited established MTFG to be a holding company for the three entities. Before that, each of the banks had been a publicly held company. On April 2, 2001, through a stock-for-stock exchange, they became wholly owned subsidiaries of MTFG, and the former shareholders of the three banks became shareholders of MTFG. Nippon Trust Bank Limited was later merged into Mitsubishi Trust Bank.

 

On April 1, 2004, we implemented a new integrated business group system, which currently integrates the operations of BTMU, MUTB and MUSMUSHD and MUMSS into the following three areas—Retail, Corporate, and Trust Assets. Although thisThis new measure did not change the legal entities of MUFG, BTMU, MUTB and MUS, it iswas intended to enhance synergies by promoting more effective and efficient collaboration between our subsidiaries.

On July 1, 2005, MTFG made Mitsubishi Securities Co., Ltd., a directly held subsidiary by acquiring all of the shares of Mitsubishi Securities common stock held by Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi and Mitsubishi Trust Bank.

 

On June 29, 2005, the merger agreement between usMTFG and UFJ Holdings was approved at the general shareholders meetings of MTFG and UFJ Holdings. As the surviving entity, Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group, Inc. was renamed “Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc.” The merger of the two bank holding companies was completed on October 1, 2005.

 

On September 30, 2007, MUSHD, which was then called “Mitsubishi UFJ Securities Co., Ltd.,” or MUS, became a wholly owned subsidiary of MUFG through a share exchange transaction.

 

On August 1, 2008, Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS became a wholly owned subsidiary of MUFG through a share exchange transaction. On the same day, we entered into a share transfer agreement with The Norinchukin Bank, or Norinchukin, under which we sold some of our shares of Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS common sharesstock to Norinchukin. Currently, Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS is a consolidated subsidiary of MUFG.

On October 13, 2008, we made an investment in Morgan Stanley as part of a global strategic alliance. We beneficially own approximately 20% of the common stock of Morgan Stanley (assuming full conversion of the convertible preferred stock of Morgan Stanley we currently own), and are pursuing a variety of business opportunities in Japan and abroad.

On October 21, 2008, we completed a tender offer for outstanding shares of ACOM CO., LTD. common stock, raising our ownership in ACOM to approximately 40%.

On November 4, 2008, BTMU completed the acquisition of all of the shares of common stock of UnionBanCal Corporation, or UNBC, not owned by BTMU and, as a result, UNBC became a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of MUFG.

On April 1, 2010, the former MUS was renamed MUSHD, and a newly created operating subsidiary of MUSHD succeeded to the former MUS’s domestic operations, as a result of a corporate split transaction.

On May 1, 2010, the new operating subsidiary of MUSHD succeeded to the investment banking operations conducted in Japan by Morgan Stanley Japan Securities Co., Ltd., as a joint venture company of Morgan Stanley and us, which was renamed MUMSS.

The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd.

 

BTMU is a major commercial banking organization in Japan that provides a broad range of domestic and international banking services from its offices in Japan and around the world. BTMU’s registered head office is located at 7-1, Marunouchi 2-chome, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 100-8388, Japan, and its telephone number is 81-3-3240-1111. BTMU is a joint stock company (kabushiki kaisha) incorporated in Japan under the Company Law.

 

BTMU was formed through the merger, on January 1, 2006, of Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi and UFJ Bank Limited after their respective parent companies, MTFG and UFJ Holdings, merged to form MUFG on October 1, 2005.

 

Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi was formed through the merger, on April 1, 1996, of The Mitsubishi Bank, Limited and The Bank of Tokyo, Ltd.

 

The origins of Mitsubishi Bank can be traced to the Mitsubishi Exchange Office, a money exchange house established in 1880 by Yataro Iwasaki, the founder of the Mitsubishi industrial, commercial and financial group. In 1895, the Mitsubishi Exchange Office was succeeded by the Banking Division of the Mitsubishi Goshi Kaisha, the holding company of the “Mitsubishi group” of companies. Mitsubishi Bank had been a principal bank to many of the Mitsubishi group companies but broadened its relationships to cover a wide range of Japanese industries, small and medium-sized companies and individuals.

 

Bank of Tokyo was established in 1946 as a successor to The Yokohama Specie Bank, Ltd., a special foreign exchange bank established in 1880. When the government of Japan promulgated the Foreign Exchange Bank Law in 1954, Bank of Tokyo became the only bank licensed under that law. Because of its license, Bank of Tokyo received special consideration from the Ministry of Finance in establishing its offices abroad and in many other aspects relating to foreign exchange and international finance.

 

UFJ Bank was formed through the merger, on January 15, 2002, of The Sanwa Bank, Limited and The Tokai Bank, Limited.

Sanwa Bank was established in 1933 when the three Osaka-based banks, the Konoike Bank, the Yamaguchi Bank, and the Sanjyushi Bank merged. Sanwa Bank was known as a city bank having the longest history in Japan, since the foundation of Konoike Bank can be traced back to the Konoike Exchange Office established in 1656. The origin of Yamaguchi Bank was also a money exchange house, established in 1863. Sanjyushi Bank was founded by influential fiber wholesalers in 1878. The corporate philosophy of Sanwa Bank had been the creation of the premier banking services especially for small and medium-sized companies and individuals.

 

Tokai Bank was established in 1941 when the three Nagoya-based banks, the Aichi Bank, the Ito Bank, and the Nagoya Bank merged. In 1896, Aichi Bank took over businesses of the Jyuichi Bank established by wholesalers in 1877 and the Hyakusanjyushi Bank established in 1878. Ito Bank and Nagoya Bank were established in 1881 and 1882, respectively. Tokai Bank had expanded the commercial banking business to contribute to economic growth mainly of the Chubu area in Japan, which is known for the manufacturing industry, especially automobiles.

Since this initial investment, we have acquired a total of $705 million of shares of Morgan Stanley common stock and sold back to Morgan Stanley $705 million of the preferred securities in May 2009, and we have acquired a total of $471 million of additional shares of Morgan Stanley common stock in June 2009. We beneficially own approximately 20% of the common stock of Morgan Stanley (assuming full conversion of the convertible preferred stock of Morgan Stanley we currently own).

On June 30, 2009, the scope of the Global Strategic Alliance was expanded into new geographies and businesses, including (1) a loan marketing joint venture that will provide clients in the Americas with access to expanded, world-class lending and capital markets services from both companies, (2) an agreement to establish business referral arrangements in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, covering capital markets, loans, fixed income sales and other businesses, (3) a global commodities referral agreement whereby BTMU and its affiliates will refer clients in need of commodities-related hedging solutions to certain affiliates of Morgan Stanley, and (4) an employee secondment program to share best practices and expertise in a wide range of business areas.

See “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—If our strategic alliance with Morgan Stanley fails, we could suffer financial or reputational loss.”

Competition

 

We face strong competition in all of our principal areas of operation. The deregulation of the Japanese financial markets as well as structural reforms in the regulation of the financial industry have resulted in dramatic changes in the Japanese financial system. Structural reforms have prompted Japanese banks to merge or reorganize their operations, thus changing the nature of the competition from other financial institutions as well as from other types of businesses.

 

Japan

 

Deregulation.    Competition in Japan has intensified as a result of the relaxation of regulations relating to Japanese financial institutions. Most of the restrictions that served to limit competition were lifted before the year 2000. Deregulation has eliminated barriers between different types of Japanese financial institutions, which are now able to compete directly against one another. Deregulation and market factors have also facilitated the entry of various large foreign financial institutions into the Japanese domestic market.

The Banking Law, as amended, now permits banks to engage in thecertain types of securities business, by establishing or otherwise owningincluding retail sales of investment funds and government and municipal bonds, and, through a domestic and overseas securities subsidiariessubsidiary, all types of securities business, with theappropriate registration with or approval of the Financial Services Agency, an agency of the Cabinet Office. The Banking Law is expected to be furtherwas amended in the fall ofDecember 2008 to expand the scope of permissible activities.activities of banks, permitting banks to engage in emissions trading and, through their subsidiaries and certain affiliates, Islamic financing. Further increases in competition among financial institutions are expected in these new areas of permissible activities.

 

In terms of recent market entrants, other financial institutions, such as Orix Corporation, and non-financial companies, havesuch as the Seven & i Holdings group and Sony Corporation, also begunbegan to offer various banking

services, often through non-traditional distribution channels. Also, in recent years, various large foreign financial institutions have significantly expanded their presence inentered the Japanese domestic market. Citigroup Inc., for example, has expanded its banking activities and moved aggressively to provide investmentoperations in Japan through a locally incorporated banking and other financial services, including retail services and, through its recent acquisition of Nikko Cordial Corporation, securities brokerage services.subsidiary. The privatization of Japan Post, a government-run public services corporation that is the world’s largest holder of deposits, and the establishment of the Japan Post Group companies, including Japan Post Bank Co., Ltd. that followed in October 2007,, as part of the continuing privatization process, as well as the planned privatization of other governmental financial institutions, could also substantially increase competition within the financial services industry. In December 2009, the Japanese government’s privatization plan for the Japan Post Group companies was suspended, and a bill was introduced to the Diet that, if enacted, would have doubled to ¥20 million the amount of deposits Japan Post Bank can accept from an individual depositor, permitted the Japan Post Bank to more easily enter new areas of business activities, required the government to retain more than one-third of the voting rights in Japan Post Holdings Co., Ltd. and required Japan Post Holdings to retain more than one-third of the voting rights in Japan Post Bank. However, it was not approved during the Diet session ended in June 2010.

 

In the corporate banking sector, the principal effect of these reforms has been the increase in competition as two structural features of Japan’s highly specialized and segmented financial system have eroded:

 

the separation of banking and securities businesses in Japan; and

Ÿ

the separation of banking and securities businesses in Japan; and

 

the distinctions among the permissible activities of Japan’s two principal types of private banking institutions. For a discussion of the two principal types of private banking institutions, see “—The Japanese Financial System.”

Ÿ

the distinctions among the permissible activities of Japan’s two principal types of private banking institutions—ordinary banks and trust banks. For a discussion of the two principal types of private banking institutions, see “—The Japanese Financial System—Private Banking Institutions.”

 

In addition, in recent years, Japanese corporations are increasingly raising funds by accessing the capital markets, both within Japan and overseas, resulting in a decline in demand for loan financing. Furthermore, as foreign exchange controls have been generally eliminated, customers can now have direct access to foreign financial institutions, with which we must also compete.

 

In the consumer banking sector, deregulation has enabled banks to offer customers an increasingly attractive and diversified range of products. For example, banks may noware permitted to sell investment trusts and since December 2007, all types of insurance products. We face competition in this sector from other private financial institutions, including Japan Post Group companies. Recently, competition has also increased due to the development of new products and distribution channels. For example, Japanese banks have started competing with one another by developing innovative proprietary computer technologies that allow them to deliver basic banking services in a more efficient manner, such as internet banking services, and to create sophisticated new products in response to customer demand.

 

The trust assets business is a promising growth area that is competitive and becoming more so because of changes in the industry. In addition, there is growing corporate demand for change in the trust regulatory environment, such as reform of the pension system and related accounting regulations under Japanese GAAP. However, competition may increase in the future as regulatory barriers to entry are lowered. A new trust business lawThe current Trust Business Law came into effect on December 30, 2004. Among other things, the trust business law expandsTrust Business Law has expanded the types of property that can be entrusted and allows non-financial companies to conduct trust business upon approval. The new law has also adoptsadopted a type of registration for companies that wish to conduct only the administration type trust business. The Trust Business Law was further amended in December 2006 in order to cope with new types of trusttrusts and to amend the duties imposed on the trustee in accordance with the sweeping amendment to the Trust Law.law. As these regulatory developments hashave facilitated the expansion of the trust business, the competition in this area has also intensified.

 

Integration.    Another major reason forSince their formation in 2000 and 2001, the so-called Japanese “mega bank” groups, including us, the Mizuho Financial Group, and the Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group have continued to expand their businesses and financial group capabilities. Heightened competition among the mega bank groups is currently expected in the securities sector as they have recently announced plans to expand, or have expanded, their respective securities businesses. In May 2010, we and Morgan Stanley commenced operations of two joint venture companies, Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities Co., Ltd. and Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities Co., Ltd., each of which was formed by integrating certain operations of MUS and Morgan Stanley Japan Securities. In May 2009, Mizuho Securities Co., Ltd. acquired Shinko Securities Co., Ltd., and in October 2009 the Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group acquired Nikko Cordial Securities Inc. and other businesses from

Citigroup Inc. In October 2009, The Sumitomo Trust and Banking Co., Ltd. acquired Nikko Asset Management Co., Ltd. from Citigroup Inc., and in November 2009 The Sumitomo Trust and Banking Co., Ltd and Chuo Mitsui Trust Holdings Inc. entered into basic agreement to integrate the two groups. The mega bank groups are also expected to face heightened competition with other financial groups. For example, the Nomura Group acquired Lehman Brothers Holding, Inc.’s franchise in Japan is the integrationAsia-Pacific region and reorganization of Japanese financial institutions. In 1998, amendments were made toinvestment banking businesses in Europe and the Banking Law to allow

the establishment of bank holding companies, and this development together with various factors, such as the decline of institutional strength caused by the bad loan crisis and intensifying global competition, resulted in a number of integrations involving major banks in recent years. In September 2000, The Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank, Ltd., The Fuji Bank, Ltd. and The Industrial Bank of Japan, Limited jointly established a holding company, Mizuho Holdings, Inc., to own the three banks. In April 2002, these three banks were reorganized into two banks—Mizuho Bank, Ltd. and Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd. In April 2001, The Sumitomo Bank, Limited and The Sakura Bank, Limited were merged into Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation. In December 2001, The Daiwa Bank, Ltd. and two regional banks established Daiwa Bank Holdings Inc., which in March 2002 consolidated with The Asahi Bank, Ltd. and changed its corporate name to Resona Holdings, Inc.Middle East in October 2002.2008.

 

Foreign

 

In the United States, we face substantial competition in all aspects of our business. We face competition from other large US and foreign-owned money-center banks, as well as from similar institutions that provide financial services. Through UBOCUnion Bank, we currently compete principally with US and foreign-owned money-center and regional banks, thrift institutions, insurance companies, asset management companies, investment advisory companies, consumer finance companies, credit unions and other financial institutions.

 

In other international markets, we face competition from commercial banks and similar financial institutions, particularly major international banks and the leading domestic banks in the local financial markets in which we conduct business. In addition, we may face further competition as a result of recent investments, mergers and other business tie-ups among global financial institutions.

 

The Japanese Financial System

 

Japanese financial institutions may be categorized into three types:

 

the central bank, namely the Bank of Japan;

Ÿ

the central bank, namely the Bank of Japan;

 

private banking institutions; and

Ÿ

private banking institutions; and

 

government financial institutions.

Ÿ

government financial institutions.

 

The Bank of Japan

 

The Bank of Japan’s role is to maintain price stability and the stability of the financial system to ensure a solid foundation for sound economic development.

 

Private Banking Institutions

 

Private banking institutions in Japan are commonly classified into two categories (the following numbers are based on currently available information published by the Financial Services Agency)Agency of Japan available as of August 11, 2008:July 20, 2010:

 

ordinary banks (130 ordinary banks and 63 foreign commercial banks with ordinary banking operations); and

Ÿ

ordinary banks (127 ordinary banks and 58 foreign commercial banks with ordinary banking operations); and

 

trust banks (20 trust banks, including four Japanese subsidiaries of foreign financial institutions).

Ÿ

trust banks (18 trust banks, including four Japanese subsidiaries of foreign financial institutions).

 

Ordinary banks in turn are classified as city banks, of which there are five, including BTMU, and regional banks, of which there are 110106 and other banks, of which there are 15.16. In general, the operations of ordinary banks correspond to commercial banking operations in the United States. City banks and regional banks are distinguished based on head office location as well as the size and scope of their operations.

 

The city banks are generally considered to constitute the largest and most influential group of banks in Japan. Generally, these banks are based in large cities, such as Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya, and operate nationally

through networks of branch offices. City banks have traditionally emphasized their business with large corporate clients, including the major industrial companies in Japan. However, in light of deregulation and other competitive factors, many of these banks, including BTMU, in recent years have increased their emphasis on other markets, such as small and medium-sized companies and retail banking.

With some exceptions, the regional banks tend to be much smaller in terms of total assets than the city banks. Each of the regional banks is based in one of the Japanese prefectures and extends its operations into neighboring prefectures. Their clients are mostly regional enterprises and local public utilities, although the regional banks also lend to large corporations. In line with the recent trend among financial institutions toward mergers or business tie-ups, various regional banks have announced or are currently negotiating or pursuing integration transactions.

 

Trust banks, including MUTB, provide various trust services relating to money trusts, pension trusts and investment trusts and offer other services relating to real estate, stock transfer agency and testamentary services as well as banking services.

 

In recent years, almost all of the city banks have consolidated with other city banks and also, in some cases, with trust banks. Integration among these banks was achieved, in most cases, through the use of a bank holding company.

 

In addition to ordinary banks and trust banks, other private financial institutions in Japan, including shinkin banks or credit associations, and credit cooperatives, are engaged primarily in making loans to small businesses and individuals.

 

Government Financial Institutions

 

Since World War II, a number of government financial institutions have been established. These corporations are wholly owned by the government and operate under its supervision. Their funds are provided mainly from government sources. Certain types of operations undertaken by these institutions have been or are planned to be assumed by, or integrated with the operations of, private corporations, through privatization and other measures.

 

Among them are the following:

 

The Development Bank of Japan, whose purpose is to contribute to the economic development of Japan by extending long-term loans, mainly to primary and secondary sector industries;

Ÿ

The Development Bank of Japan, which was established for the purpose of contributing to the economic development of Japan by extending long-term loans, mainly to primary and secondary sector industries, and which was reorganized as a joint stock company in October 2008 as part of its ongoing privatization process;

 

Japan Bank for International Cooperation, whose purpose is to supplement and encourage the private financing of exports, imports, overseas investments and overseas economic cooperation;

Ÿ

Japan Finance Corporation, which was formed in October 2008, through the merger of the International Financial Operations of the former Japan Bank for International Cooperation, National Life Finance Corporation, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Finance Corporation, and Japan Finance Corporation for Small and Medium Enterprise, the primary purposes of which are to supplement and encourage the private financing of exports, imports, overseas investments and overseas economic cooperation, and to supplement private financing to the general public, small and medium enterprises and those engaged in agriculture, forestry and fishery;

 

Japan Finance Corporation for Small and Medium Enterprise, Japan Housing Finance Agency and The Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Finance Corporation, the purpose of each of which is to supplement private financing in its relevant field of activity; and

Ÿ

Japan Housing Finance Agency, which was originally established in June 1950 as the Government Housing Loan Corporation for the purpose of providing housing loans to the general public, was reorganized as an incorporated administrative agency and became specialized in securitization of housing loans in April 2007; and

 

Ÿ

The Japan Post Group companies, a group of joint stock companies including Japan Post Bank, which were formed in October 2007 as a result of the reorganization of the former Japan Post, a government-run public services corporation, which had been the Postal Service Agency until March 2003. In December 2009, the Japanese government’s privatization plan for the Japan Post Group companies was suspended, and a bill was introduced to the Diet outlining further modifications to the privatization plan. However, it was not approved during the Diet session ended in June 2010.

The Postal Service Agency, which was reorganized in April 2003 into Japan Post, a government-run public services corporation, which was privatized into the Japan Post Group companies in October 2007.

Supervision and Regulation

 

Japan

 

Supervision.    The Financial Services Agency of Japan, an agency of the Cabinet Office, or FSA, is responsible for supervising and overseeing financial institutions, making policy for the overall Japanese financial system and conducting insolvency proceedings with respect to financial institutions. The Bank of Japan, as the central bank for financial institutions, conducts “on-site inspections,”also has supervisory authority over banks in whichJapan, based primarily on its staff visits financial institutionscontractual agreements and inspectstransactions with the assets and risk management systems of those institutions.banks.

The Banking Law.    Among the various laws that regulate financial institutions, the Banking Law and its subordinated orders and ordinances are regarded as the fundamental law for ordinary banks and other private financial institutions. The Banking Law addresses bank holding companies, capital adequacy, inspections and reporting, as well as the scope of business activities, disclosure, accounting, limitation on granting credit and standards for arm’s length transactions. In addition, the amendment to the Banking Law which came into effect in April 2006 relaxed the standards relating to bank-agent eligibility, which encourages banks to expand their operations through the use of bank agents. BanksAs a result of the amendment to the Banking Law and Financial Instruments and Exchange Law effective as of June 2009, firewall regulations that separate bank holding companies/banks from affiliated securities companies have become less stringent, and instead, bank holding companies, banks and other financial institutions will beare now expressly required to establish an internal controlappropriate system to cope with conflicts of interest as a result of the recent amendments to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law, Banking Law and Insurance Business Law which are to take effect by June 2009.that may arise from their business operations.

 

Bank holding company regulations.    A bank holding company is prohibited from carrying on any business other than the management of its subsidiaries and other incidental businesses. A bank holding company may have any of the following as a subsidiary: a bank, a securities company, an insurance company and a foreign subsidiary that is engaged in the banking, securities or insurance business. In addition, a bank holding company may have as a subsidiary, any company that is engaged in a finance-related business, such as a credit card company, a leasing company or an investment advisory company. Certain companies that are designated by a ministerial ordinance as those that cultivate new business fields may also become the subsidiary of a bank holding company. The recent amendment to the Banking Law which is to take effect by June 2009 will expand a range of permitted subsidiaries. Particularly this amendment will permit a bank holding company which satisfies certain requirement on financial soundness and appropriate risk control to have a subsidiary engaging in commodity transactions.

 

Capital adequacy.    The capital adequacy guidelines adopted by the FSA that are applicable to Japanese bank holding companies and banks with international operations closely follow the risk-weighted approach introduced by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision of the Bank for International Settlements, or BIS. In June 2004, the Basel Committee released revised standards called “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards: A Revised Framework,” or Basel II, which has become applicable to Japanese banks since the end of March 2007. Basel II has three core elements, or “pillars”: requiring minimum regulatory capital, the self-regulation of financial institutions based on supervisory review, and market discipline through the disclosure of information. Basel II is based on the belief that these three “pillars” will collectively ensure the stability and soundness of financial systems. Although these amendments do not change the minimum capital requirements applicable to internationally active banks, they reflect the nature of risks at each bank more closely.

 

Basel II providesis designed to provide more risk-sensitive approaches and a range of options for measuring risks and determining the capital requirements. As a result, Basel II also reflects the nature of risks at each bank more closely. Under the FSA guidelines reflecting Basel II, we and our banking subsidiaries adoptedcurrently use the FoundationAdvanced Internal Ratings-Based Approach, or the FIRBAIRB approach, to calculate capital requirements for credit risk. The StandardisedStandardized Approach is used for some subsidiaries that are considered to be immaterial to the overall MUFG capital requirements and a few subsidiaries adopted a phased rollout of the internal ratings-based approach. We and our banking subsidiaries adopted the StandardisedStandardized Approach to calculate capital requirements for operational risk. As for market risk, we and our banking subsidiaries adopted the Internal Models Approach mainly to calculate general market risk and adopted the StandardisedStandardized Methodology to calculate specific risk.

The capital adequacy guidelines are in accordance with the standards of the Bank for International SettlementBIS for a target minimum standard ratio of capital to modified risk-weighted assets of 8.0% on both consolidated and non-consolidated bases for banks with international operations, including BTMU and MUTB, or on a consolidated basis for bank holding companies with international operations, such as MUFG. Modified risk-weighted assets is the sum of risk-weighted assets compiled for credit risk purposes, market risksrisk equivalent amount divided by 8% and operational risk equivalent amount divided by 8%. The capital adequacy guidelines place considerable emphasis on tangible common stockholders’shareholders’ equity as the core element of the capital base, with appropriate recognition of other components of capital.

Capital is classified into three tiers, referred to as Tier I, Tier II and Tier III. Tier I capital generally consists of stockholders’shareholders’ equity items, including common stock, preferred stock, capital surplus, noncontrolling interests and retained earnings (which includes deferred tax assets) and minority interests, but. However, recorded goodwill and other items, such as treasury stock, and unrealized losses on investment securities classified as “securities available for sale” under Japanese GAAP, net of taxes, if any, are deducted from Tier I capital. Tier II capital generally consists of:

 

The amount (up to a maximum of 0.6% of credit risk-weighted assets) by which eligible reserves for credit losses exceed expected losses in the internal ratings-based approach, and general reserves for credit losses, subject to a limit of 1.25% of modified risk-weighted assets determined by the partial use of the Standardised Approach (including a phased rollout of the internal ratings-based approach);

Ÿ

The amount (up to a maximum of 0.6% of credit risk-weighted assets) by which eligible reserves for credit losses exceed expected losses in the internal ratings-based approach, and general reserves for credit losses, subject to a limit of 1.25% of modified risk-weighted assets determined by the partial use of the Standardized Approach (including a phased rollout of the internal ratings-based approach);

 

45% of the unrealized gains on investment securities classified as “other securities” under Japanese accounting rules;

Ÿ

45% of the unrealized gains on investment securities classified as “securities available for sale” under Japanese GAAP;

 

45% of the land revaluation excess;

Ÿ

45% of the land revaluation excess;

 

the balance of perpetual subordinated debt; and

Ÿ

the balance of perpetual subordinated debt; and

 

the balance of subordinated term debt with an original maturity of over five years and preferred stock with a maturity up to 50% of Tier I capital.

Ÿ

the balance of subordinated term debt with an original maturity of over five years and preferred stock with a maturity up to 50% of Tier I capital.

 

Tier III capital generally consists of short-term subordinated debt with an original maturity of at least two years and which is subject to a “lock-in” provision, which stipulates that neither interest nor principal may be paid if such payment would cause the bank’s overall capital amount to be less than its minimum capital requirement. At least 50% of the minimum total capital requirements must be maintained in the form of Tier I capital.

 

Amendments to the capital adequacy guidelines limiting the portion of Tier I capital consisting of deferred tax assets became effective on March 31, 2006. The restrictions are targeted at major Japanese banks and their holding companies, which include MUFG and its banking subsidiaries. The cap was initially set at 40% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 and 30% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. It has been lowered to 20% for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008. The banks subject to the restrictions will not be able to reflect in their capital adequacy ratios any deferred tax assets that exceed the relevant limit.limit of 20% of their Tier I capital.

In September 2009, the Group of Central Bank Governors and Heads of Supervision, the oversight body of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, announced a comprehensive set of measures to modify the existing three pillars of the Basel II framework. In December 2009, the Basel Committee announced a package of proposals to strengthen global capital and liquidity regulations with the goal of promoting a more resilient banking sector. The proposals cover the following four key areas;

Ÿ

raising the quality, consistency and transparency of the capital base;

Ÿ

strengthening the risk coverage of the capital framework;

Ÿ

introducing a leverage ratio as a supplementary measure to the Basel II risk-based framework with a view to migrating to a minimum capital requirement treatment based on appropriate review and calibration;

Ÿ

introducing a series of measures to promote the build-up of capital buffers in good times that can be drawn upon in periods of stress; and

Ÿ

Introducing a global minimum liquidity standard for internationally active banks that includes a 30-day liquidity coverage ratio requirement underpinned by a longer-term structural liquidity ratio.

These measures have not been adopted. However, if adopted, the Japanese capital ratio framework, which is currently based on Basel II, is expected to be revised to implement these measures, thereby imposing possibly more stringent requirements.

The various proposals could impose stricter capital requirements and new liquidity requirements on global financial institutions such as us. If adopted as proposed, the capital requirements could, among other things, significantly increase the aggregate common equity that financial institutions will be required to have issued in proportion to their total risk assets by disqualifying certain instruments that currently qualify as Tier I capital. In addition, the proposals also include a leverage ratio requirement. The proposals also include liquidity requirements that could result in financial institutions holding greater levels of lower yielding instruments as a percentage of their assets. The proposals would increase the level of risk-weighted assets, and could also increase the capital charges imposed on certain assets potentially making certain businesses more expensive to conduct. We will continue to assess the potential impact of the proposals.

 

Inspection and reporting.    By evaluating banks’ systems of self-assessment, auditing their accounts and reviewing their compliance with laws and regulations, the FSA monitors the financial soundness of banks, including the status and performance of their control systems for business activities. The FSA implemented the Financial Inspection Rating System (“FIRST”) for deposit-taking financial institutions which has become applicable to major banks since April 1, 2007.By2007. By providing inspection results in the form of graded evaluations (i.e., ratings), the FSA expects this rating system to motivate financial institutions to voluntarily improve their management and operations. Additionally, the FSA currently takes the “better regulation” approach in its financial regulation and supervision. This consists of four pillars: optimal combination of rules-based and principles-based supervisory approaches; timely recognition of priority issues and effective response; encouraging voluntary efforts by financial firms and placing greater emphasis on providing them with incentives; improving the transparency and predictability of regulatory actions, in pursuit of improvement of the quality of financial regulation and supervision.

 

The FSA, if necessary to secure the sound and appropriate operation of a bank’s business, may request the submission of reports or materials from, or conduct an on-site inspection of, the bank or the bank holding company. If a bank’s capital adequacy ratio falls below a specified level, the FSA may request the bank to submit an improvement plan and may restrict or suspend the bank’s operations when it determines that action is necessary.

 

In addition, the Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission inspects banks in connection with their securities business as well as financial instruments business operators, such as securities firms.

The Bank of Japan also conducts inspections of banks similar to those undertaken by the FSA. The Bank of Japan Law provides that the Bank of Japan and financial institutions may agree as to the form of inspection to be conducted by the Bank of Japan.

 

Laws limiting shareholdings of banks.    The provisions of the Anti-Monopoly Law that prohibit a bank from holding more than 5% of another company’s voting rights do not apply to a bank holding company.

However, the Banking Law prohibits a bank holding company and its subsidiaries from holding, on an aggregated basis, more than 15% of the voting rights of companies other than those which can legally become subsidiaries of bank holding companies.

 

On September 30, 2006, a law which imposes a limitation on a bank’s shareholding of up to the amount equivalent to its Tier I capital took effect.

Financial Instruments and Exchange Law.    The Financial Instruments and Exchange Law amending and replacing the Securities and Exchange Law became effective on September 30, 2007. The new law not only preserves the basic concepts of the Securities and Exchange Law, but is also intended to further protect investors. The new law also regulates sales of a wide range of financial instruments and services, requiring financial institutions to revise their sales rules and strengthen compliance frameworks and procedures accordingly. Among the instruments that the Japanese banks deal with, derivatives, foreign currency denominatedcurrency-denominated deposits, and variable insurance and annuity products are subject to regulations that are applicable to securities covered by sales-related rules of conduct.

 

Article 33 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law generally prohibits banks from engaging in thesecurities transactions. However, bank holding companies and banks may, through a domestic or overseas securities subsidiary, conduct all types of securities business, as it was provided in Article 65 ofwith appropriate approval from the Securities and Exchange Law. Under certain circumstances,FSA. Similarly, registered banks are allowedpermitted to provide securities intermediation services and engage in certain other similar types of securities business.related transactions, including retail sales of investment funds and government and municipal bonds.

 

Anti-money laundering laws.    Under the Law for Prevention of Transfer of Criminal Proceeds, banks and other financial institutions are required to report to responsible ministers, in the case of banks, the Commissioner of the FSA, any assets which they receive while conducting their businesses that are suspected of being illicit profits from criminal activity.

 

Law concerning trust business conducted by financial institutions.    Under the Trust Business Law, joint stock companies that are licensed by the Prime Minister as trust companies are allowed to conduct trust business. In addition, under the Law Concerning Concurrent Operation for Trust Business by Financial Institutions, banks and other financial institutions, as permitted by the Prime Minister, are able to conduct trust business. The Trust Business Law was amended in December 2004 to expand the types of property that can be entrusted, to allow non-financial companies to conduct trust business and to allow a new type of registration for trustees who conduct only administration type trust business. The Trust Business Law was further amended in December 2006 in order to cope with new types of trust and to amend the duties imposed on the trustee in accordance with the sweeping amendment to the Trust Law.

 

Deposit insurance system and government investment inmeasures for troubled financial institutions.    The Deposit Insurance Law is intended to protect depositors if a financial institution fails to meet its obligations. The Deposit Insurance Corporation was established in accordance with that law.

 

City banks (including BTMU), regional banks, trust banks (including MUTB), and various other credit institutions participate in the deposit insurance system on a compulsory basis.

 

Under the Deposit Insurance Law, the maximum amount of protection is ¥10 million per customer within one bank. Since April 1, 2005, all deposits are subject to the ¥10 million maximum, except for non-interest bearing deposits that are redeemable on demand and used by the depositor primarily for payment and settlement functions (the “settlement accounts”). Such deposit accounts are fully protected without a maximum amount limitation. Certain types of deposits are not covered by the deposit insurance system, such as foreign currency deposits and negotiable certificates of deposit. Currently, the Deposit Insurance Corporation charges insurance premiums equal to 0.108%0.107% on the deposits in the settlement accounts, which are fully protected as mentioned above, and premiums equal to 0.081%0.082% on the deposits in other accounts.

 

Since 1998, the failure of a number of large-scale financial institutions has led to the introduction of various measures with a view to stabilizing Japan’s financial system, including financial support from the national budget.

Under the Deposit Insurance Law, a Financial Reorganization Administrator can be appointed by the Prime Minister if a bank is unable to fully perform its obligations with its assets or may suspend or has suspended

repayment of deposits. The Financial Reorganization Administrator will take control of the assets of the troubled bank, dispose of the assets and search for another institution willing to take over its business. The troubled bank’s business may also be transferred to a “bridge bank” established by the Deposit Insurance Corporation for the purpose of the temporary maintenance and continuation of operations of the troubled bank, and the bridge bank will seek to transfer the troubled bank’s assets to another financial institution or dissolve the troubled bank. The Deposit Insurance Corporation protects deposits, as described above, either by providing financial aid for costs incurred by the financial institution succeeding the insolvent bank or by paying insurance money directly to depositors. The financial aid, provided by the Deposit Insurance Corporation, may take the form of a monetary grant, loan or deposit of funds, purchase of assets, guarantee or assumption of debts, subscription of preferred stock, or loss sharing. The Deposit Insurance Law also provides for exceptional measures to cope with systemic risk in the financial industry.

Further, against the background of the global financial crisis, in December 2008 the Law Concerning EmergencySpecial Measures for Early Strengthening of Financial Function orwas amended in order to enable the Financial Function Early Strengthening Law, enactedJapanese government to take special measures in October 1998, provided for government fundsorder to be made available tostrengthen the capital of financial institutions. Under the law, banks and other financial institutions “priormay apply to failure” as well as to financial institutions with “sound” management, to increase thereceive capital ratio of such financial institutions and to strengthen their function as financial market intermediaries. The availability of new funds for this purpose ended in March 2001.

Banks and bank holding companies that have received investmentsinjections from the Resolution and Collection Corporation under the framework that previously existed under the Financial Function Early Strengthening Law are required to submit and, if necessary, update their restructuring plans relating to their management, finances and other activities. If a bank or bank holding company materially fails to meet the operating targets set in its restructuring plan, the FSA can require it to report on alternative measures to achieve the targets, and also issue a business improvement order requiring it to submit a business improvement plan that indicates concrete measures to achieve the targets. The preferred shares that were previously issued by UFJ Holdings to the Resolution and Collection Corporation were exchanged for our newly issued preferred shares in the merger with UFJ Holdings and, as a result, we were required to submit restructuring plans until those preferred shares were redeemed. As we completed the repayment of the public funds that UFJ Holdings received from the Resolution and Collection Corporation on June 9, 2006, we are no longer required to submit such restructuring plans.

Starting in April 2001, amendments to the Deposit Insurance Law established a new framework which enables the Deposit Insurance Corporation, subject to inject capital into a bank ifgovernment approval, which will be granted subject to the Commissionerfulfillment of certain requirements, including, among other things, the FSA recognizesimprovement of profitability and efficiency, facilitation of financing to mid-small business enterprises in the local communities, and that it must do so to guard againstthe financial systemic risk.institution is not insolvent. The application deadline is March 31, 2012.

 

Law Concerning the Temporary Measures for the Facilitation of Finance to Small and Medium-sized Firms and Others.    On November 30, 2009, the Japanese Diet passed a new piece of legislation entitled the Law Concerning the Temporary Measures for the Facilitation of Finance to Small and Medium-sized Firms and Others. The legislation requires financial institutions, among other things, to make an effort to reduce their customers’ burden of loan payment by employing methods such as modifying the term of loans at the request of eligible borrowers including small and medium-sized firms and individual home loan borrowers. The new legislation also requires financial institutions to internally establish a system to implement the requirements of the legislation and periodically make public disclosure of and report to the relevant authority on the status of implementation. The legislation is scheduled to expire at the end of March 2011.

Personal Information Protection Law.    With regards to protection of personal information, the Personal Information Protection Law became fully effective on April 1, 2005. Among other matters, the law requires Japanese banking institutions to limit the use of personal information to the stated purpose and to properly manage the personal information in their possession, and forbids them from providing personal information to third parties without consent. If a bank violates certain provisions of the law, the FSA may advise or order the bank to take proper action. The FSA announced related guidelines for the financial services sector in December 2004. In addition, the Banking Law and the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law provide certain provisions with respect to appropriate handling of customer information.

 

Law concerning Protection of Depositors from Illegal Withdrawals Made by Counterfeit or Stolen Cards.    This law became effective in February 2006 and requires financial institutions to establish internal systems to prevent illegal withdrawals of deposits made using counterfeit or stolen bank cards. The law also requires financial institutions to compensate depositors for any amount illegally withdrawn using counterfeit bank cards, unless the financial institution can verify that it acted in good faith without negligence, and there is gross negligence on the part of the relevant account holder.

 

Recent Regulatory Actions.    In February 2007, BTMUJune 2009, the former MUS received from the FSA an order to improve business operations pursuant to Article 51 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law and to submit a report on the former MUS’s progress on adopting and implementing remedial and preventative measures (which report was submitted to the FSA on July 2, 2009) and a recommendation pursuant to the first paragraph of Article 34 of the Personal Information Protection Law in connection with the incident where data including customer information were fraudulently stolen.

In July 2009, kabu.com Securities Co., Ltd., a consolidated subsidiary, received an administrative order to improve business operations from the FSA in respectconnection with a former employee’s trading activities in violation of compliance management at certain of its operations regarding the occurrence of certain inappropriate transactions. The administrative order required, among other things, temporary suspensions of credit extensions to new corporate customers, training of all staff and directors regarding compliance, temporary suspension of the establishment of new domestic corporate business locations, strengthening of the management and internal control framework, presentation and implementation of a business improvement plan, and reports on the progress of such business improvement plan. Further, in June 2007, BTMU received a separate administrative order from the FSA in respect of its overseas business and its investment trust sales and related business. The administrative order required, among other things, BTMU to make improvements of its compliance structure and related internal control functions in its overseas business and its domestic investment trust sales and related business, presentation and implementation of a business improvement plan, and reports on the progress of such business improvement plan.Japanese insider trading regulations.

 

Also, in January 2007, MUS received a business improvement order from the FSA following a recommendation by the Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission of Japan regarding securities transactions conducted by MUS for its proprietary account.

Proposed governmentGovernment reforms to restrict maximum interest rates on consumer lending business.    In December 2006, the Diet passed legislation to reducereform the maximum permissible interest rate underregulations relating to the consumer lending business, including amendments to the Law Concerning Acceptance of Investment, Cash Deposit and Interest Rate etc., which, is currentlyeffective on June 18, 2010, reduced the maximum permissible interest rate from 29.2% per annum to 20% per annum. Currently, consumer finance companies are ableThe regulatory reforms also included amendments to chargethe Law Concerning Lending Business which, effective on June 18, 2010, abolished the so-called “gray-zone interest.” Gray-zone interest refers to interest rates exceeding the limits stipulated by the Interest Rate Restriction Law provided that they satisfy(between 15% per annum to 20% per annum depending on the amount of principal). Prior to June 18, 2010, gray-zone interests were permitted under certain conditions set forth in the Law Concerning Lending Business. Accordingly, MUFG’s consumer finance subsidiaries and equity-method investees offer loans at interest rates aboveAs a result of the Interest Rate Restriction Law.This so-called “gray-zone interest” will be abolished as well. Such reduction in the maximum permissible interest rate will be implemented before mid-2010. Under theregulatory reforms, all interest rates will beare now subject to the lower limits (15-20% per annum) imposed by the Interest Rate Restriction Law, which will compel, or has already compelled,compelling lending institutions, including our consumer finance subsidiaries and equity method investees, to lower the interest rates they charge borrowers.

In addition, Furthermore, the Supreme Court of Japan recently passed decisions concerning interest exceeding the limits stipulated by the Interest Rate Restriction Law, and the business environment for consumer finance companies in Japan has been altered in favor of borrowers. Due to such changes, borrowers’ demands for reimbursement of such excess interest that they have paid to the consumer finance companies have significantly increased and is still holding at high levels.

Furthermore, new regulations, that are scheduled to bewhich became effective before mid-2010 are expected toon June 18, 2010, require, among other things, consumer finance companies to review the repayment capability of borrowers before lending, thereby limiting the amount of borrowing available to individual borrowers.

In addition, as a result of recent decisions made by the Supreme Court of Japan prior to June 18, 2010, imposing stringent requirements for charging such gray-zone interest, and the business environment for consumer finance companies in Japan has been altered in favor of borrowers. Due to such changes, borrowers’ claims for reimbursement of such excess interest that they have paid to the consumer finance companies have significantly increased and are still holding at high levels.

 

United States

 

As a result of our operations in the United States, we are subject to extensive US federal and state supervision and regulation.

 

Overall supervision and regulation.    We are subject to supervision, regulation and examination with respect to our US operations by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or the Federal Reserve Board, pursuant to the US Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, or the BHCA, and the International Banking Act of 1978, as amended, or the IBA, because we are a bank holding company and a foreign banking organization, respectively, as defined pursuant to those statutes. The Federal Reserve Board functions as our “umbrella” supervisor under amendments to the BHCA effected by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, which among other things:

 

prohibited further expansion of the types of activities in which bank holding companies, acting directly or through nonbank subsidiaries, may engage;

Ÿ

prohibited further expansion of the types of activities in which bank holding companies, acting directly or through nonbank subsidiaries, may engage;

 

authorized qualifying bank holding companies to opt to become “financial holding companies,” and thereby acquire the authority to engage in an expanded list of activities, including merchant banking, insurance underwriting and a full range of securities activities; and

Ÿ

authorized qualifying bank holding companies to opt to become “financial holding companies,” and thereby acquire the authority to engage in an expanded list of activities; and

 

Ÿ

modified the role of the Federal Reserve Board by specifying new relationships between the Federal Reserve Board and the functional regulators of nonbank subsidiaries of both bank holding companies and financial holding companies.

We have not elected to become a financial holding company.

 

The BHCA generally prohibits each of a bank holding company and a foreign banking organization that maintains branches or agencies in the United States from, directly or indirectly, acquiring more than 5% of the voting shares of any company engaged in nonbanking activities in the United States unless the bank holding company or foreign banking organization has elected to become a financial holding company, as discussed above, or the Federal Reserve Board has determined, by order or regulation, that such activities are so closely

related to banking as to be a proper incident thereto and has granted its approval to the bank holding company or foreign

banking organization for such an acquisition. The BHCA also requires a bank holding company or foreign banking organization that maintains branches or agencies in the United States to obtain the prior approval of an appropriate federal banking authority before acquiring, directly or indirectly, the ownership of more than 5% of the voting shares or control of any US bank or bank holding company. In addition, under the BHCA, a US bank or a US branch or agency of a foreign bank is prohibited from engaging in various tying arrangements involving it or its affiliates in connection with any extension of credit, sale or lease of any property or provision of any services.

 

On October 6, 2008, we became a financial holding company. At the same time, BTMU, MUTB, and UNBC, which are also bank holding companies, elected to become financial holding companies. As noted above, as a financial holding company we are authorized to engage in an expanded list of activities. These activities include those deemed to be financial in nature or incidental to such financial activity, including among other things merchant banking, insurance underwriting, and a full range of securities activities. In addition, we are permitted to engage in certain specified nonbanking activities deemed to be closely related to banking, without prior notice to or approval from the Federal Reserve Board. To date, we have utilized this expanded authority by electing to engage in certain securities activities, including securities underwriting, indirectly through certain of our securities subsidiaries. In order to maintain our status as a financial holding company that allows us to expand our activities, we must continue to meet certain standards established by the Federal Reserve Board. Those standards require that we exceed the minimum standards applicable to bank holding companies that have not elected to become financial holding companies. These higher standards include meeting the “well capitalized” and “well managed” standards for financial holding companies as defined in the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board. In addition, as a financial holding company, we must ensure that our US banking subsidiaries identified below meet certain minimum standards under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977. At this time, we continue to comply with these standards.

US branches and agencies of subsidiary Japanese banks.    Under the authority of the IBA, our banking subsidiaries, in Japan, BTMU and MUTB, operate seven branches, two agencies and five representative offices in the United States. BTMU operates branches in Los Angeles and San Francisco, California; Chicago, Illinois; New York, New York; Portland, Oregon; and Seattle, Washington; agencies in Atlanta, Georgia and Houston, Texas; and representative offices in Washington, D.C; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Dallas, Texas; Jersey City, New Jersey; and Florence, Kentucky. MUTB operates a branch in New York, New York.

 

The IBA provides, among other things, that the Federal Reserve Board may examine US branches and agencies of foreign banks, and that each such branch and agency shall be subject to on-site examination by the appropriate federal or state bank supervisor as frequently as would a US bank. The IBA also provides that if the Federal Reserve Board determines that a foreign bank is not subject to comprehensive supervision or regulation on a consolidated basis by the appropriate authorities in its home country, or if there is reasonable cause to believe that the foreign bank or its affiliate has committed a violation of law or engaged in an unsafe or unsound banking practice in the United States, the Federal Reserve Board may order the foreign bank to terminate activities conducted at a branch or agency in the United States.

 

US branches and agencies of foreign banks must be licensed, and are also supervised and regulated, by a state or by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, or the OCC, the federal regulator of national banks. All of the branches and agencies of BTMU and MUTB in the United States are state-licensed. Under US federal banking laws, state-licensed branches and agencies of foreign banks may engage only in activities that would be permissible for their federally-licensed counterparts, unless the Federal Reserve Board determines that the additional activity is consistent with sound practices. US federal banking laws also subject state-licensed branches and agencies to the single-borrower lending limits that apply to federal branches and agencies, which generally are the same as the lending limits applicable to national banks, but are based on the capital of the entire foreign bank.

 

As an example of state supervision, the branches of BTMU and MUTB in New York are licensed by the New York State Superintendent of Banks, or the Superintendent, pursuant to the New York Banking Law. Under

the New York Banking Law and the Superintendent’s Regulations, each of BTMU and MUTB must maintain with banks in the State of New York eligible assets as defined and in amounts determined by the Superintendent. These New York branches must also submit written reports concerning their assets and liabilities and other matters, to the extent required by the Superintendent, and are examined at periodic intervals by the New York State Banking Department. In addition, the Superintendent is authorized to take possession of the business and property of BTMU and MUTB located in New York whenever events specified in the New York Banking Law occur.

 

US banking subsidiaries.We indirectly own and control three US banks:

 

Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Trust Company, New York, New York (through BTMU, a registered bank holding company),

Ÿ

Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Trust Company, New York, New York (through BTMU, a registered bank holding company),

 

Mitsubishi UFJ Trust & Banking Corporation (U.S.A.), New York, New York (through MUTB, a registered bank holding company), and

Ÿ

Mitsubishi UFJ Trust & Banking Corporation (U.S.A.), New York, New York (through MUTB, a registered bank holding company), and

 

Ÿ

Union Bank (through BTMU and its subsidiary, UNBC, a registered bank holding company).

UBOC (through BTMU and its subsidiary, UNBC, a registered bank holding company).

Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Trust Company and Mitsubishi UFJ Trust & Banking Corporation (U.S.A.) are chartered by the State of New York and are subject to the supervision, examination and regulatory authority of the Superintendent pursuant to the New York Banking Law. UBOCUnion Bank is a national bank subject to the supervision, examination and regulatory authority of the OCC pursuant to the National Bank Act.

 

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or the FDIC, is the primary federal agency responsible for the supervision, examination and regulation of the two New York-chartered banks referred to above. The FDIC may take enforcement action, including the issuance of prohibitive and affirmative orders, if it determines that a financial institution under its supervision has engaged in unsafe or unsound banking practices, or has committed violations of applicable laws and regulations. The FDIC insures the deposits of all three US banking subsidiaries.subsidiaries up to legally specified maximum amounts. In the event of the failure of an FDIC-insured bank, the FDIC is virtually certain to be appointed as receiver, and would resolve the failure under provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. An FDIC-insured institution that is affiliated with a failed or failing FDIC-insured institution can be required to indemnify the FDIC for losses resulting from the insolvency of the failed institution, even if this causes the affiliated institution also to become insolvent. In the liquidation or other resolution of a failed FDIC-insured depository institution, deposits in its US offices and other claims for administrative expenses and employee compensation are afforded priority over other general unsecured claims, including deposits in offices outside the United States, non-deposit claims in all offices and claims of a parent company. Moreover, under longstanding Federal Reserve Board policy, a bank holding company is expected to act as a source of financial strength for its banking subsidiaries and to commit resources to support such banks.

 

Bank capital requirements and capital distributions.    Our US banking subsidiaries and UNBC, our US subsidiary bank holding company, are subject to applicable risk-based and leverage capital guidelines issued by US regulators for banks and bank holding companies. In addition, BTMU and MUTB, as foreign banking organizations that have US branches and agencies and that are controlled by us as a financial holding company, are subject to the Federal Reserve’s requirements that they be “well-capitalized” based on Japan’s risk based capital standards, as well as “well managed.” All of our US banking subsidiaries and BTMU, MUTB, and UNBC are “well capitalized” as defined under, those guidelines as they apply to banks, and ourotherwise comply with, all US subsidiary bank holding company exceeds all minimum regulatory capital requirements applicable to domestic bank holding companies.them. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991, or FDICIA, provides, among other things, for expanded regulation of insured depository institutions, including banks, and their parent holding companies. As required by FDICIA, the federal banking agencies have established five capital tiers ranging from “well capitalized” to “critically undercapitalized” for insured depository institutions. As an institution’s capital position deteriorates, the federal banking regulators may take progressively stronger actions, such as further restricting affiliate transactions, activities, asset growth or interest payments. In addition, FDICIA generally prohibits an insured depository institution from making capital distributions, including the payment of dividends, or the payment of any management fee to its holding company, if the insured depository institution would subsequently become undercapitalized.

The availability of dividends from insured depository institutions in the United States is limited by various other statutes and regulations. The National Bank Act and other federal laws prohibit the payment of dividends by a national bank under various circumstances and limit the amount a national bank can pay without the prior approval of the OCC. In addition, state-chartered banking institutions are subject to dividend limitations imposed by applicable federal and state laws.

 

Other regulated US subsidiaries.    Our nonbank subsidiaries that engage in securities-related activities in the United States are regulated by appropriate functional regulators, such as the SEC, any self-regulatory organizations of which they are members, and the appropriate state regulatory agencies. These nonbank subsidiaries are required to meet separate minimum capital standards as imposed by those regulatory authorities.

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act removed almost all of the pre-existing statutory barriers to affiliations between commercial banks and securities firms by repealing Sections 20 and 32 of the Glass-Steagall Act. At the same time, however, the so-called “push-out” provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act narrowed the exclusion of banks, including the US branches of foreign banks, from the definitions of “broker” and “dealer” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, potentially requiring all such banks to transfer some activities to affiliated

broker-dealers. The SEC has issued rules regarding the push-out of “dealer” functions that became effective on September 30, 2003, and issued rules regarding the push-out requirements for “broker” functions that became effective on September 28, 2007. The rules must be complied with on the first day of each bank’s fiscal year commencing after September 30, 2008. At this time, we do not believe that these push-out rules as adopted will have a significant impact on our business as currently conducted in the United States.

 

Anti-Money Laundering Initiatives and the USA PATRIOT Act.    A major focus of US governmental policy relating to financial institutions in recent years has been aimed at preventing money laundering and terrorist financing. The USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 substantially broadened the scope of US anti-money laundering laws and regulations by imposing significant new compliance and due diligence obligations, creating new crimes and penalties and expanding the extra-territorial jurisdiction of the United States. The US Department of the Treasury has issued a number of implementing regulations that impose obligations on financial institutions to maintain appropriate policies, procedures and controls to detect, prevent and report money laundering and terrorist financing, and to verify the identity of their customers. In addition, the bank regulatory agencies carefully scrutinize the adequacy of an institution’s policies, procedures and controls. As a result, there has been an increased number of regulatory sanctions and law enforcement authorities have been taking a more active role. Failure of a financial institution to maintain and implement adequate policies, procedures and controls to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing could in some cases have serious legal and reputational consequences for the institution, including the incurring of expenses to enhance the relevant programs, the imposition of limitations on the scope of their operations and the imposition of fines and other monetary penalties.

 

Recent Regulatory Actions.Reform Legislation.    In December 2006, we and BTMU entered into a written agreement withresponse to the Federal Reserve Banks of San Francisco and New Yorkfinancial crisis and the New York State Banking Department, and Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Trust Company, or BTMUT, a subsidiary of BTMU, consented to an Order to Cease and Desist issued by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the New York State Banking Department, to strengthen the compliance framework and operations of BTMU, the New York Branch of BTMU and BTMUT, respectively, for preventing money laundering. As a resultperception that lax supervision of the written agreementfinancial industry in the United States may have been a contributing cause, new legislation designed to reform the system for supervision and regulation of financial firms in the consent toUnited States called the Order to Cease“Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Desist, we are required,Consumer Protection Act,” or the Dodd-Frank Act, was signed into law on July 21, 2010. The Dodd-Frank Act is complex and extensive in its coverage and contains a wide range of provisions that would affect financial institutions operating in the United States, including our US operations. Included among these provisions, among other things, are sweeping reforms designed to implement corrective measuresreduce systemic risk presented by very large financial firms, promote enhanced supervision, regulation, and submit periodic progress reports to the authorities.

Separately,prudential standards for financial firms, establish comprehensive supervision of financial markets, impose new limitations on September 14, 2007, Union Bank of California, N.A. agreed to a consent orderpermissible financial institution activities and payment of a civil money penalty of $10.0 million assessed concurrently by the US Officeinvestments, expand regulation of the Comptrollerderivatives markets, protect consumers and investors from financial abuse, and provide the government with the tools needed to manage a financial crisis. Many aspects of the Currency, or OCC, and the US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, relatinglegislation require subsequent regulatory action by supervisory agencies for full implementation. Thus, we are unable to the Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering compliance controls and processes of Union Bank of California. On September 17, 2007, Union Bank of California also entered into a deferred prosecution agreement with the US Department of Justice under which Union Bank of California agreed to a payment of $21.6 million and the government agreed to defer prosecution of a Bank Secrecy Act Program violation primarily related to the discontinued international banking business of Union Bank of California and dismiss prosecution if Union Bank of California meets the conditions of the deferred prosecution agreement, including complying with the OCC consent order for one year.

In October 2004, Union Bank of California International, or UBOCI, a subsidiary of UNBC, entered into a written agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York relating to its anti-money laundering controls and processes. With the liquidation of UBOCI in March 2007, the written agreement is no longer effective.

The SEC is also currently conducting an inquiry regarding marketing and distribution practices of mutual funds managed by a subsidiary of Union Bank of California. Neither we nor UNBC can be certainassess at this time as to the final resultspotential impact of that inquiry.any such enacted legislation on our operations.

Our revenues consist of net interest income and non-interest income.

 

Net interest income.Net interest income is a function of:

 

Ÿ

the amount of interest-earning assets,

Ÿ

the amount of interest-bearing liabilities,

Ÿ

the general level of interest rates,

Ÿ

the so-called “spread,” or the difference between the rate of interest earned on interest-earning assets and the rate of interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, and

Ÿ

the proportion of interest-earning assets financed by non-interest-bearing liabilities and equity.

Our net interest income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 decreased compared to that for the prior fiscal year mainly as a result of decreases in our foreign deposit and lending volumes as well as decreases in interest rates. The following table shows changes in our net interest income by changes in volume and by changes in rate for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009:

Summary of Our Recent Financial Results and Financial Condition

 

EstablishmentWe reported net income attributable to Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group of ¥859.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, compared to a net loss attributable to Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group of ¥1,468.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. Our diluted earnings per share of common stock (net income available to common shareholders of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial GroupGroup) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 was ¥67.87, an improvement from a diluted loss per share of common stock of ¥137.84 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. Income from continuing operations before income tax expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 was ¥1,282.1 billion, compared to a loss from continuing operations before income tax benefit of ¥1,764.2 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

 

In October 2005, MTFG merged with UFJ Holdings to form MUFG. At the same time,Our business and results of operations as well as our respective trust banking and securities companies merged to form MUTB and MUS. Subsequently, our subsidiary commercial banks merged to form BTMUassets are heavily influenced by trends in January 2006, and our credit card subsidiaries merged to form Mitsubishi UFJ NICOSeconomic conditions particularly in April 2007.

The merger marked the creation of a comprehensive financial group with a broad and balanced domestic and international network, and a diverse range of services provided by group companies, complemented by one of the largest customer bases in Japan.

As part of our integration process, we are currently undertaking a significant project to fully integrate the IT systems of the merged commercial bank subsidiaries and the merged trust bank subsidiaries respectively.

The merger of MTFG and UFJ Holdings was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and the assets and liabilities of UFJ Holdings and its subsidiaries were recorded at fair value as of October 1, 2005. The purchase price of UFJ Holdings amounted to ¥4,406.1 billion, of which ¥4,403.2 billion was recorded in capital surplus relating to the merger with UFJ Holdings and the direct acquisition costs of ¥2.9 billion were included in the purchase price. The total fair value of UFJ Holdings’ net assets acquired was ¥2,673.0 billion and the goodwill relating to the merger with UFJ Holdings was ¥1,733.1 billion.

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008,2010, there were signs of recovery in the Japanese economy from the negative trends that continued throughout the previous fiscal year. For example, although Japan’s real GDP contracted by 2.0% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, stock prices in Japan generally increased during the fiscal year. The Nikkei Stock Average, which is an average of 225 blue chip stocks listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, increased from ¥8,109.53 at March 31, 2009 to ¥11,089.94 at March 31, 2010, mainly due to a rebound from the global financial crisis in the early part of the fiscal year. The closing price of the Tokyo Stock Price Index, or TOPIX, a composite index of all stocks listed on the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, also increased from 773.66 at March 31, 2009 to 978.81 at March 31, 2010. See “—Introduction—Business Environment.”

In addition to the macro economic factors, our net income attributable to Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 mainly reflected the following:

Ÿ

Net interest income was ¥1,984.1 billion, a decrease of ¥312.3 billion from ¥2,296.4 billion for the previous fiscal year mainly due to the lower interest rate environment, which negatively affected our interest spread, and the decrease in returns from our foreign loans;

Ÿ

Provision for credit losses was ¥647.8 billion, an increase of ¥20.9 billion from ¥626.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, reflecting in part a significant amount of allocated allowance for specifically identified problem loans due to the weakening of the financial condition of borrowers, particularly domestic manufacturing, wholesale and retail borrowers and foreign governments and official institutions;

Ÿ

Fees and commissions were ¥1,139.5 billion, a decrease ¥49.0 billion from ¥1,188.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 primarily due to decreases of ¥18.2 billion in trust fees, ¥9.9 billion in fees and commissions on stock transfer agency services and ¥7.1 billion in guarantee fees, reflecting a general decrease in the volume of these businesses, partially offset by a ¥17.6 billion increase in fees and commissions on securities businesses as the overall volume of securities trading recovered with the improvement in stock prices in general;

Ÿ

Net foreign exchange gains were ¥216.7 billion, compared to net foreign exchange losses of ¥206.2 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, mainly due to an improvement in our overall position in currency swap contracts and options fees, partially offset by the losses associated with the appreciation of Japanese yen against the US dollar and other currencies;

Ÿ

Net trading account profits were ¥761.5 billion, compared to net trading account losses of ¥257.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, largely due to recording net profits on trading securities, excluding derivatives, of ¥850.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, partially offset by net losses on interest rate and other derivative contracts of ¥88.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010;

Ÿ

Net investment securities gains were ¥223.0 billion, compared to net losses of ¥658.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, mainly reflecting net gains on sales of marketable equity securities of

¥213.5 billion and net gains on sales of debt securities available for sale of ¥83.7 billion, partially offset by impairment losses on securities available for sale of ¥92.7 billion; and

Ÿ

Impairment of goodwill for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 was ¥0.5 billion, which was significantly lower than the impairment of goodwill of ¥845.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. The impairment of goodwill for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 reflected the global financial market crisis and recession which negatively impacted the fair value of our reporting units for the purposes of our periodic testing of goodwill for impairment.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, domestic revenue, which consists of interest income and non-interest income, was ¥3,605.0 billion, while total foreign revenue was ¥1,607.4 billion, with the United States contributing ¥604.4 billion, Asia and Oceania (excluding Japan) contributing ¥482.6 billion and Europe contributing ¥355.0 billion. As a percentage of total revenue, for the three fiscal years ended March 31, 2010, domestic revenue has been on a declining trend, declining to 69.2%, and Asia and Oceania (excluding Japan) has been on an increasing trend, increasing to 9.3%, while the other geographic regions have fluctuated.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, domestic net income attributable to Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group was ¥189.7 billion, while the corresponding total foreign net income was ¥670.1 billion. In particular, Asia and Oceania (excluding Japan) contributed ¥241.4 billion to our net income, more than half of which derived from net interest income from China, whereas Europe and the United States contributed ¥199.1 billion and ¥193.0 billion, respectively, reflecting trading gains and net interest income. In light of these trends, we plan to seek growth opportunities particularly in Asia and the United States.

Our net loans outstanding at March 31, 2010 were ¥90.87 trillion, a decrease of ¥8.28 trillion from ¥99.15 trillion at March 31, 2009. Before unearned income, net unamortized premiums and net deferred loan fees, our loan balance at March 31, 2010 consisted of ¥72.02 trillion of domestic loans and ¥20.27 trillion of foreign loans. As a result of a general decrease in the demand for loans, between March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010, domestic loans decreased ¥5.28 trillion and foreign loans decreased ¥2.83 trillion. However, the total allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2010 was ¥1,315.6 billion, an increase of ¥159.0 billion from ¥1,156.6 billion at March 31, 2009 as we recorded a provision for credit losses of ¥647.8 billion, whereas we had net charge-offs of ¥468.4 billion. The increase in allowance reflected an impairmentincrease in borrowers that may become bankrupt as well as an increase in restructured loans and nonaccrual loans throughout the period. As of goodwillMarch 31, 2010, our net loans outstanding accounted for 67.1% of ¥893.7 billionour total deposits.

Investment securities increased ¥17.41 trillion to ¥55.05 trillion at March 31, 2010 from ¥37.64 trillion at March 31, 2009, primarily due to an increase of ¥15.26 trillion in Japanese national government bonds and Japanese government agency bonds and an increase of ¥1.56 trillion in foreign government and official institutions bonds between March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010, partially offset by a ¥0.41 trillion decrease in corporate bonds. Our investment in Japanese national government and government agency bonds increased as part of our asset and liability management policy with respect to investing the recent global financial market instability that negatively affectedamount of yen-denominated deposited funds exceeding our net loans. As a result, our holdings of Japanese national and government and Japanese government agency bonds as a percentage of our assets increased to relatively high levels as of March 31, 2010, accounting for 75.9% of our investment securities available for sale and being held to maturity, and 20.2% of our total assets. Regarding marketable equity securities, improvements in stock prices of Japanese equity securities resulted in an increase in our marketable equity securities by ¥0.59 trillion between March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010.

Deferred tax assets decreased ¥0.88 trillion to ¥1.29 trillion at March 31, 2010 from ¥2.17 trillion at March 31, 2009. The decrease primarily reflected an increase in net unrealized gains on investment securities due to a recovery in the fair market value of these securities. A decrease in net operating loss carryforwards, which is attributable to our ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards against taxable income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, also contributed to the decrease in deferred tax assets.

In recent months, there have been some signs of improvement in the financial markets and general economy. Regarding the Japanese stock market, the closing price of the Nikkei Stock Average, which is an average of 225 blue chip stocks listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, increased from ¥8,109.53 at March 31, 2009 to ¥11,089.94 at March 31, 2010, and has been fluctuating between the ¥9,000 and ¥11,500 range since March 31, 2010. The current signs of improvement in the financial markets and overall economy, both in Japan and globally, may be temporary. Economic conditions may not improve as quickly or steadily as we anticipate, or there may be another economic downturn, in Japan or globally. Many of the negative trends in financial markets in Japan and globally may continue in the near future. The strong Japanese yen may affect our export-oriented borrowers and the value of our reporting unitsforeign assets as the Japanese yen appreciated against other currencies, fluctuating around ¥90 to US$1 in the last six months. As of August 6, 2010, the Japanese yen stood at ¥85.25 to US$1, an appreciation of ¥13.06 as compared to ¥98.31 as of March 31, 2009. As a result of such trends, we may suffer additional credit costs resulting mainly from deteriorating business conditions for our borrowers, and our fee income relating to investment products in retail business and derivative transactions in our corporate banking business and our trading income may decrease. The Bank of Japan has been maintaining a very low policy rate (uncollateralized overnight call rate) of 0.10% as part of its monetary easing policy. Interest rates in other major global financial markets, including the purposesUnited States and the European Union, have remained at historic low levels in recent years. In addition, the current interest rate environment may continue in the near future, impacting our net interest income. However, an unanticipated interest rate movement may significantly affect the value of our impairment testing. For further information, see Notes 2debt securities portfolio. See “Item 3.D.

Effects of Recent Global Financial Market Instability

The recent global market instabilitynew holding company since the second half of 2007 originating primarily from disruptions in the US residential mortgage market has negatively affected our investment portfolio. We continue to hold assets that may decline in value or that may otherwise lead to further losses, and the amount of assets exposed to such risk may increase in the future depending on market conditions and other factors. As of March 31, 2008, the estimated fair value of our securities available for sale was ¥32.4 trillion for debt securities and ¥6.3 trillion for marketable equity securities. Net investment securities losses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 was ¥1.37 trillion, compared to ¥0.24 trillion in net investment securities gains for the previous fiscal year. This change mainly reflected the impairment losses of ¥0.33 trillion on marketable equity securities available for sale and ¥1.17 trillion on debt securities available for sale. The impairment losses on debt securities were mainly due to the effect of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency transactions amounting to ¥0.86 trillion. For a detailed discussion of our investment portfolio as of March 31, 2008, see “—A. Operating Results—Results of Operations—Net investment securities gains (losses)” and “—B. Financial Condition—Investment Portfolio” below.

The recent global financial market instability has also negatively affected our goodwill. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, we recorded an impairment of goodwill of ¥893.7 billion. This impairment in goodwill was due to, among other factors, the recent global financial market instability which negatively impacted the fair value of our reporting units for purposes of our periodic testing of goodwill for impairment. For a more detailed discussion of our goodwill as of March 31, 2008, see “—Critical Accounting Estimates—Accounting for Goodwill and Intangible Assets” and “—A. Operating Results—Results of Operations—Non-Interest Expense” below.

Filing of a Bankruptcy Petition by Lehman Brothers Holdings

On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., or LBHI, filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code with the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. We determined that the filing by LBHI was attributable to the deterioration of the asset-backed securitization products market and residential mortgage market in the United States subsequent to March 31, 2008, and did not reflect the impact of LBHI’s bankruptcy on the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. Although the impact of these developments is currently being reviewed, we estimate that these developments will adversely affect income from continuing operations before income tax expense for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009 by approximately ¥20 to ¥30 billion.

Investment Unit Reduction

On September 30, 2007, our minimum stock investment unit with respect to our common stock was reduced to one-tenth of the prior unit through (a) a stock split by which one share was split into 1,000 shares and (b) the adoption of a unit share system under which one unit of our common stock is comprised of 100 shares. The purpose of the investment unit reduction was to broaden our investor base by making our common stock more accessible to potential individual shareholders, thereby achieving our medium and long-term objective of maximizing corporate value.

Regarding our ADRs which are traded on the New York Stock Exchange, we changed the ratio of the ADRs in relation to the underlying shares of our common stock as follows:

Ratio before change: 1,000 ADR = 1 common share

Ratio after change: 1,000 ADR = 1,000 common shares (1:1)

As a result, our share numbers and per share information in this report have been retroactively adjusted.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

As part of our compensation structure, in December 2007, we allotted an aggregate of 10,699 stock acquisition rights to our directors, corporate auditors and officers for their respective services to MUFG and its subsidiaries. Each stock acquisition right represents a right to purchase 100 shares of MUFG common stock at ¥1 per common share. The stock acquisition rights were subject to a one-year vesting period. The rights are exercisable until December 5, 2037, but only after the date on which a grantee’s service as a director, corporate auditor or officer terminates. The fair value of each stock acquisition right was ¥103,200.

As part of our compensation structure, in July 2008, we allotted an aggregate of 13,681 stock acquisition rights to our directors, corporate auditors and officers for their respective services to MUFG and its subsidiaries. Each stock acquisition right represents a right to purchase 100 shares of MUFG common stock at ¥1 per common share. The stock acquisition rights are subject to a one-year vesting period. The rights are exercisable until July 14, 2038, but only after the date on which a grantee’s service as a director, corporate auditor or officer terminates. The fair value of each stock acquisition right was ¥92,300.

Repurchase of Our Own Common Shares

From December 3, 2007 to December 13, 2007, we repurchased 126,513,900 shares of our common stock for approximately ¥150 billion to improve our capital efficiency and to allow the implementation of flexible capital policies in response to changes in the business environment.

Issuance of Preferred Securities by Special Purpose Companies

In order to enhance the flexibility of our capital management, in December 2007, MUFG Capital Finance 6 Limited, a special purpose company established in the Cayman Islands, issued ¥150 billion in non-cumulative and non-dilutive perpetual preferred securities in an offering targeting Japanese institutional investors.

These preferred securities were reflected in our Tier I capital as of March 31, 2008 under the BIS capital adequacy requirements, which is calculated primarily from our Japanese GAAP financial information. However, for accounting purposes under US GAAP, because those special purpose companies are not consolidated entities, the loans, which are made to us from the proceeds from the preferred securities issued by the special purpose company, are presented as long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2008.

Also, in September 2008, MUFG Capital Finance 7 Limited, a special purpose company established in the Cayman Islands, issued ¥222 billion in non-cumulative and non-dilutive perpetual preferred securities in an offering targeting Japanese institutional investors.

Economic Environment in Japan

 

Japan’s economy continues to show signs of recovery with increasing exports, especially to Asia, and with governmental economic stimulus measures continuing to produce positive effects. Japan’s real GDP grew at an annualized 5.0% quarter on quarter for the January-March 2010 period, marking the fourth straight quarter of positive growth, with net exports (exports minus imports) contributing 2.7 percentage points and domestic private demand, including consumption and capital expenditures, contributing 2.1 percentage points. Japan’s annualized GDP growth rate over the past four quarters averaged 4.2% quarter on quarter, exceeding the potential growth rate of 0.5% to 0.8%. The unemployment rate and capacity utilization rates for plants began to show signs of improvement. However, the Japanese economy showedis still merely recovering from the historic global recession that began in the latter half of 2008, and domestic demand, capital expenditure and employment has only started to improve gradually to a moderate slowdown, partly offset by Japan’s continuous strong exports to emerging countries. However, private consumption grew at a sluggish paceself-sustaining recovery. In addition, the recent GDP growth in Japan reflects the positive impact of one-time factors such as the recent increase in demand for home appliances due in part to the weaknessgovernment’s economic stimulus measures. Moreover, the current positive trends in the overall Japanese economy may slow down or discontinue if economic conditions in other regions or globally deteriorate. For example, the Greek fiscal crisis, and the fear of wage growth. Towardsanother global economic downturn caused by such crisis, may have an adverse impact on not only the European Union, or EU financial markets but also financial markets in other countries and regions, including Japan.

The Bank of Japan has maintained a very low policy rate (uncollateralized overnight call rate) of 0.10% in an effort to lift the economy out of deflation since December 2008, while increasingly supplying funds through its expanded new operations introduced at the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, business confidence rapidly worsened and uncertainty increased about a corporate performance downturn because of a slowdown in overseas economies as well as a steep rise in the price of raw materials and oil prices. The rate of increase in the consumer price index accelerated towards the end of2009. Short-term interest rates continued to decline throughout the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 mainly due to soaring oil prices.

The2010 because of the Bank of Japan kept its uncollateralized overnight call rate target unchanged at 0.5% fromJapan’s so-called “monetary easing policy.” Euro-yen 3-month TIBOR fell to approximately 0.38% as of July 1, 2010, the prior year. Although long-termlowest level since 2006. Long-term interest rates rose in June, they have also been on a downward trend, with some fluctuations. As of mid-September 2008,as global risk aversion triggered by the uncollateralized overnight call rate target was around 0.5%Greek fiscal crisis and tightened fiscal regulations in Europe and in the United States resulted in lower benchmark government bond yields as investors preferred safer assets such as sovereign debt. The yield on newly-issued ten-year Japanese government bonds wasfell to around 1.5%.1.05% as of early August 2010.

Based onIn calendar year 2009, the average official land prices setfor both residential and commercial real estate experienced significant declines for the second consecutive year. According to a survey conducted by the Japanese government, the average residential land prices in Japan as ofprice declined by 4.2% between January 1, 2008 increased for two years in a row after a consecutive 16-year decline that ended in 2006. Nationwide residential land prices2009 and land prices for commercial properties as of January 1, 2008 rose2010. The average commercial land price declined by 1.3% and 3.8%, respectively, compared to January 1, 2007.6.1% during the same period.

According to Teikoku Databank, a Japanese research institution, the number of companies whothat filed for legal bankruptcy in Japan betweenfrom April 2007 and2009 to March 20082010 was approximately 11,300, an increase of approximately 18%12,900, a decrease by 2.8% from the previous fiscal year, reflecting a moderate recovery of the Japanese economy since the second quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in the number of companies that filed for legal bankruptcy was mainly due to anthe positive effects of the Japanese government’s economic stimulus measures and policies to increase in legal bankruptcies of small sized companies, especially inpublic construction retail, and service sectors. Similarly, thework by commencing projects earlier than originally scheduled, which generated revenues for many construction companies.

International Financial Markets

 

With respect to the international financial and economic environment, the US economy recently began to recover with the annualized real GDP growth rate averaging 3.9% in the second half of calendar year 2009. Our research division forecasts that the real GDP growth rate will continue to expand at around 3.1% throughout calendar year 2010. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate decreased from its cyclical high at 10.1% in October 2009 to 9.5% in June 2010. Reflecting the continued yet weak recovery of the US economy, inflationary pressure has been limited thus far. In March 2010, the core CPI (consumer inflation less food and energy) inflation rate on a year-on-year basis decreased to 1.1%, the slowest rate since and roughly matching November 2003, which is on the lowest end of the Federal Reserve’s central tendency range of 1.1% to 1.7% for the fiscalentire calendar year ended March 31, 2008, uncertainty about the outlook for overseas economies, especially the United States economy, significantly increased. The US economy2010. Although household disposable income has further decelerated since the beginning of 2008been increasing due to the turmoileffects of economic stimulus measures and tax reductions by the US government, consumer sentiment remains weak in part because of the high unemployment rates. In the corporate sector, production continues on an upward trend due to improved inventory cycles and increasing exports and capital investments.

In the EU, the signs of recovery from the global recession have been weaker and, according to our research division, the real GDP is expected to grow at 0.6% throughout calendar year 2010. The industrial production growth rate year over year since April 2009 has been 9.5%, with lower growth rates of 1.5% and 0.8% in March and in April 2010, respectively, reflecting concerns over the Greek fiscal crisis. Retail sales in April 2010 declined by 1.5% year over year, which reflected a decrease in the financial markets triggeredconsumer confidence index of 15.0 points. The unemployment rate in April 2010 was 10.1%, up by 0.1% from March 2010. While the collapse ofunemployment rate is on a moderate declining trend in Germany, in many other EU member states, the residential mortgage marketunemployment rates remain high, stemming household consumption. With regard to consumer prices, the preliminary inflation rate in May 2010 was 1.6% year over year, which has resulted in reduced liquidity, greater volatility, widening of credit spreads and a lack of price transparency in the United States.

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report are prepared in accordance with US GAAP. Many of the accounting policies require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments regarding the valuation of assets and liabilities. The accounting policies are fundamental to understanding our operating and financial review and prospects. The notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report provide a summary of our significant accounting policies. The following is a summary of the critical accounting estimates:

 

Allowance for Credit Losses

 

The allowance for credit losses represents management’s estimate of probable losses in our loan portfolio. The evaluation process, including credit-ratings and self-assessments, involves a number of estimates and judgments. The allowance is based on two principles of accounting:accounting guidance: (1) SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” whichthe guidance on contingencies requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and can be estimated;estimated, and (2) SFAS No. 114, “Accountingthe guidance on accounting by Creditorscreditors for Impairmentimpairment of a Loan” and SFAS No. 118, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan—Income Recognition and Disclosures,” which requireloan requires that losses be accrued based on the difference between the loan balance, on the one hand, and the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate and the fair value of collateral or the loan’s observable market value, on the other hand.

 

Our allowance for credit losses consists of an allocated allowance and an unallocated allowance. The allocated allowance comprises (a) the allowance for specifically identified problem loans, (b) the allowance for large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, (c) the allowance for loans exposed to specific country risk and (d) the formula allowance. Both the allowance for loans exposed to specific country risk and the formula

allowance are provided for performing loans that are not subject to either the allowance for specifically identified problem loans or the allowance for large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans. The allowance for loans exposed to specific country risk covers transfer risk which is not specifically covered by other types of allowance. Each of these components is determined based upon estimates that can and do change when actual events occur.

 

The allowance for specifically identified problem loans, which represent large-balance, non-homogeneous loans that have been individually determined to be impaired, is calculated by using various techniques to arrive at an estimate of loss. Historical loss information, discountedthe present value of expected future cash flows, fair value of collateral and secondary market information are all used to estimate those losses.

 

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment, and the allowance for such loans is established through a process that begins with estimates of probable losses inherent in the portfolio. These estimates are based upon various analyses, including historical delinquency and credit loss experience.

 

The allowance for loans exposed to specific country risk is based on an estimate of probable losses relating to our exposure to countries that we identify as having a high degree of transfer risk. We use a country risk grading system that assigns risk ratings to individual countries. To determine the risk rating, we consider the instability of foreign currency and difficulties regarding our borrowers’ ability to service their debt.

 

The formula allowance uses a model based on historical losses as an indicator of future probable losses. However, the use of historical losses is inherently uncertain and as a result could differ from losses incurred in the future. However, since this history is updated with the most recent loss information, the differences that might otherwise occur are mitigated.

 

Our actual losses could be more or less than the estimates. The unallocated allowance captures losses that are attributable to various economic events, industry or geographic sectors whose impact on the portfolio have occurred but have yet to be recognized in the allocated allowance. For further information regarding our

allowance for credit losses, see “—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financial Condition—Allowance for Credit Losses, Nonperforming and Past Due Loans.”

 

In addition to the allowance for credit losses on our loan portfolio, we maintain an allowance for credit losses on off-balance-sheet credit instruments, including commitments to extend credit, a variety of guarantees and standby letters of credit.credit and other financial instruments. Such allowance is included in other liabilities. With regard to the allocated allowance for specifically identified credit exposure and the allocated formula allowance, we apply the same methodologymethodologies that we use in determining the allowance for loan credit losses.

 

Determining the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses requires the exercise of considerable judgment and the use of estimates, such as those discussed above. To the extent that actual losses differ from management’s estimates, additional provisions for credit losses may be required that would adversely impact our operating results and financial condition in future periods.

 

Impairment of Investment Securities

 

US GAAP requires the recognition in earnings of an impairment loss on investment securities for a decline in fair value that is other than temporary. Determination of whether a decline is other than temporary often involves estimating the outcome of future events. Management judgment is required in determining whether factors exist that indicate that an impairment loss has been incurred at the balance sheet date. These judgments are based on subjective as well as objective factors. We conduct a review semi-annually to identify and evaluate investment securities that have indications of possible impairment. The assessment of other than temporary impairment requires judgment and therefore can have an impact on the results of operations. Impairment is evaluated considering various factors, and their significance varies from case to case.

Debt and marketable equity securities.    In determining whether a decline in fair value below cost is other than temporary for a particular equity security, we generally consider factors such as the ability and positive intent to hold the investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. In addition, indicators of an other than temporary decline for both debt and marketable equity securities include, but are not limited to, the extent of decline in fair value below cost and the length of time that the decline in fair value below cost has continued. If a decline in fair value below cost is 20% or more or has continued for six months or more, we generally deem such decline as an indicator of an other than temporary decline. We also consider the current financial condition and near-term prospects of issuers primarily based on the credit standing of the issuers as determined by our credit rating system.

 

For debt securities, other than temporary impairment is recognized in earnings if we have an intent to sell the debt security or if it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. When we do not intend to sell the debt security and if it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the credit component of an other than temporary impairment of a debt security is recognized in earnings, but the noncredit component is recognized in accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources.

Certain securities held by BTMU, MUTB and certain other subsidiaries, which primarily consist of debt securities issued by the Japanese national government and generally considered to be of minimal credit risk, wereare determined not to be impaired in some cases, on the basis ofas the respective subsidiary’s ability and positive intentsubsidiaries do not have intention to hold suchsell the securities, or those subsidiaries are not more likely than not required to maturity.sell before recovery of their amortized cost basis.

 

The determination of other than temporary impairment for certain debt securities held by UNBC, our US subsidiary, which primarily consist of residential mortgage backed securities backed by the full faith and credit of the US government and corporatecertain asset-backed and debt securities, are made on the basis of a cash flow analysis and monitoring of securities and/or the abilityperformance of UNBC to hold such securities, as well as whether UNBC intends to maturity.sell, or is more likely than not required to sell, the securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis.

 

Nonmarketable equity securities.    Nonmarketable equity securities are equity securities of companies that are not publicly traded or are thinly traded. Such securities are primarily held at cost less other than temporary impairment if applicable. For the securities carried at cost, we consider factors such as the credit standing of issuers and the extent of decline in net assets of issuers to determine whether the decline is other than temporary. When we determine that the decline is other than temporary, nonmarketable equity securities are written down to the estimated fair value, determined based on such factors as the ratio of our investment in the issuer to the issuer’s net assets and the latest transaction price if applicable. When the decline is other than temporary, certain nonmarketable equity securities issued by public companies, such as preferred stock convertible to marketable

common stock in the future, are written down to fair value estimated by commonly accepted valuation models, such as option pricing models based on a number of factors, including the quoted market price of the underlying marketable common stock, volatility and dividend payments as appropriate.

 

The markets for equity securities and debt securities are inherently volatile, and the values of both types of securities have fluctuated significantly in recent years. Accordingly, our assessment of potential impairment involves risks and uncertainties depending on market conditions that are global or regional in nature and the condition of specific issuers or industries, as well as management’s subjective assessment of the estimated future performance of investments. If we later conclude that a decline is other than temporary, the impairment loss may significantly affect our operating results and financial condition in future periods.

 

For further information on the amount of the impairment losses and the aggregate amount of unrealized gross losses on investment securities, see Note 64 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Income Taxes

 

Valuation of deferred tax assets.    A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. All available evidence, both positive and negative, is considered to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is needed. Future realization of the tax benefit of existing deductible temporary differences or carryforwards ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income in future periods.

 

In determining a valuation allowance, we perform a review of future taxable income (exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards) and future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences. Future taxable income is developed from forecasted operating results, based on recent historical trends and approved business plans, the eligible carryforward periods and other relevant factors. For certain subsidiaries where strong negative evidence exists, such as the existence of significant amounts of operating loss carryforwards, cumulative losses and the expiration of unused operating loss carryforwards in recent years, a valuation allowance is recognized against the deferred tax assets to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will not be realized.

 

Among other factors, forecasted operating results, which serve as the basis of our estimation of future taxable income, have a significant effect on the amount of the valuation allowance. In developing forecasted operating results, we assume that our operating performance is stable for certain entities where strong positive evidence exists, including core earnings based on past performance over a certain period of time. The actual results may be adversely affected by unexpected or sudden changes in interest rates as well as an increase in credit-related expenses due to the deterioration of economic conditions in Japan and material declines in the Japanese stock market to the extent that such impacts exceed our original forecast. In addition, near-term taxable income is also influential on the amount of the expiration of unused operating loss carryforwards since the Japanese corporate tax law permits operating losses to be deducted for a predetermined period generally no longer than seven years. For further information on the amount of operating loss carryforwards and the expiration dates, see Note 119 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

 

Because the establishment of the valuation allowance is an inherently uncertain process involving estimates as discussed above, the currently established allowance may not be sufficient. If the estimated allowance is not sufficient, we will incur additional deferred tax expenses, which could materially affect our operating results and financial condition in future periods.

 

Tax reserves.    We provide reserves for unrecognized tax benefits as required under FASB Interpretation, or FIN, No. 48, “Accountingguidance on accounting for Uncertaintyuncertainty in Income Taxes—An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.”income taxes. In applying the standards of the Interpretation,guidance, we consider the relative risks and merits of positions taken in tax returns filed and to be filed, considering statutory, judicial, and regulatory guidance applicable to those positions.

The Interpretationguidance requires us to make assumptions and judgments about potential outcomes that lie outside management’s control. To the extent the tax authorities disagree with our conclusions, and depending on the final resolution of those disagreements, our effective tax rate may be materially affected in the period of final settlement with tax authorities.

 

Accounting for Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

US GAAP requires us to test goodwill for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired, using a two-step process that begins with an estimation of the fair value of a reporting unit of our business, which is to be compared with the carrying amount of the unit, to identify potential impairment of goodwill. A reporting unit is an operating segment or component of an operating segment that constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and is regularly reviewed by management. The fair value of a reporting unit is defined as the amount at which the unit as a whole could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties. For a reporting unit for which an observable quoted market price is available, the price is used for the fair value and control premium is also considered. For a reporting unit which an observable quoted market price is not available, the fair value is determined using an income approach. In the

income approach, discountedthe present value of expected future cash flows areis calculated by taking the net present value based on each reporting unit’s internal forecasts. Cash flows are discounted using a discount rate approximating the weighted average cost of capital, and theThe discount rate reflects current market capitalization. A control premium factor is also considered for thein relation to market capitalization as well. capitalization.

If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss recorded in income.our consolidated statements of operations. This test requires comparison of the implied fair value of the unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The estimate of the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill requires us to allocate the fair value of a reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that reporting unit, including unrecognized intangible assets, if any, since the implied fair value is determined as the excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the net amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities in the allocation. Accordingly, the second step of the impairment test also requires an estimate of the fair value of individual assets and liabilities, including any unrecognized intangible assets that belong to that unit. A change in the estimation could have an impact on impairment recognition since it is driven by hypothetical assumptions, such as customer behavior and interest rate forecasts. The estimation is based on information available to management at the time the estimation is made.

 

Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives unless they have indefinite useful lives. Amortization for intangible assets is computed in a manner that best reflects the economic benefits of the intangible assets. Intangible assets having indefinite useful lives are subject to annual impairment tests. An impairment exists if the carrying value of an indefinite-lived asset exceeds its fair value. For other intangible assets subject to amortization, an impairment is recognized if the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the intangible asset.

 

Accrued Severance Indemnities and Pension Liabilities

 

We have defined retirement benefit plans, including lump-sum severance indemnities and pension plans, which cover substantially all of our employees. Severance indemnities and pension costs are calculated based upon a number of actuarial assumptions, including discount rates, expected long-term rates of return on our plan assets and rates of increase in future compensation levels. In accordance with US GAAP, actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods, and affect our recognized net periodic pension costs and accrued severance indemnities and pension obligations in future periods. Differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions may affect our financial condition and operating results in future periods.

 

The discount rates for the domestic plans are set to reflect the interest rates of high-quality fixed-rate instruments with maturities that correspond to the timing of future benefit payments.

In developing our assumptions for expected long-term rates of return, we refer to the historical average returns earned by the plan assets and the rates of return expected to be available for reinvestment of existing plan assets, which reflect recent changes in trends and economic conditions, including market price.prices. We also evaluate input from our actuaries, includingas well as their reviews of asset class return expectations.

 

Valuation of Financial Instruments

We adoptedmeasure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The majority of such assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including trading securities, trading derivatives and investment securities. In addition, certain other assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, including held for sale loans which are carried at the recognition provisionslower of SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accountingcost or fair value, collateral dependent loans and nonmarketable equity securities subject to impairment.

We have elected the fair value option for Defined Benefit Pensioncertain foreign securities classified as available for sale, whose unrealized gains and Other Postretirement Plans,losses are reported in income.

The guidance on the measurement of fair values defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an amendmentasset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We have an established and documented process for determining fair value in accordance with the guidance. To determine fair value, we use quoted market prices which include those provided from pricing vendors, where available. We generally obtain one price or quote per instrument and do not adjust it to determine fair value of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106,the instrument. Certain asset-backed securities are valued based on non-binding quotes provided by independent broker-dealers where no or few observable inputs are available to measure fair value. We do not adjust such broker-dealer quotes to the extent that there is no evidence that would indicate that the quotes are not indicative of the fair values of the securities. We perform internal price verification procedures to ensure that the quotes provided from the independent broker-dealers are reasonable. Such verification procedures include analytical review of periodic price changes, comparison analysis between periodic price changes and 132(R)”changes of indices such as a credit default swap index, or inquiries of March 31, 2007. See “Accounting Changes—Defined Benefit Pensionunderlying inputs and Other Postretirement Plans”assumptions used by the broker-dealers such as probability of default, prepayment rate and discount margin. These verification procedures are periodically performed by independent risk management departments. For collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) backed by general corporate loans, the fair value is determined by weighting the internal model valuation and the non-binding broker-dealer quotes. If quoted market prices are not available to determine fair value of derivatives, the fair value is based upon valuation techniques that use, where possible, current market-based or independently sourced parameters, such as interest rates, yield curves, foreign exchange rates, volatilities and credit curves. The fair values of trading liabilities are determined by discounting future cash flows at a rate which incorporates our own creditworthiness. In addition, valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that the financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments include, but are not limited to, amounts that reflect counterparty credit quality, liquidity risk, and model risk. Our financial models are validated and periodically reviewed by risk management departments independent of divisions that created the models.

For a further discussion of the valuation techniques or models applied to the material assets or liabilities, see “Fair Value” in Note 1 and Note 1731 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for further information.Report.

 

Change in Valuation of Financial Instruments with No Available Market PricesMethod

 

Fair valuesWe observed that the market for CLOs backed by general corporate loans became significantly inactive compared with normal market activity due to the substantial majorityreduction in liquidity of our portfolio ofcertain debt securities resulting from the global financial instruments, including available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities, trading accounts and derivatives, with no available market prices are determined based upon externally verifiable model inputs and quoted prices. All financial models, which are used for independent risk monitoring, must be validated and periodically reviewed by qualified personnel independentinstability in the second half of the areafiscal year ended March 31, 2009. Under such circumstances, we concluded that created the model.unadjusted non-binding quotes from broker-dealers became less reflective of the fair value as defined in guidance on the measurement of fair values with respect to CLOs backed by general corporate loans. Consequently, we changed the valuation method for estimating the fair value of such CLOs from the method adopting unadjusted quotes from independent broker-dealers to an estimation method by weighting the internal model prices and the non-binding broker-dealer quotes during the second half of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The guidance on the measurement of fair values establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data, for example, the reporting entity’s own data. Based on the observability of derivativesthe inputs used in the valuation techniques, the following three-level hierarchy is determinedestablished by the guidance:

Ÿ

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Ÿ

Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the instruments.

Ÿ

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the instruments.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon liquid market prices evidenced by exchange-traded prices, broker-dealer quotations or pricesthe lowest level of other transactions with similarly rated counterparties. If available, quoted market prices provideinput that is significant to the best indication of value. If quoted market prices are not available for fixed maturity securities and derivatives, we discount expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and maturityfair value measurement of the investment. Alternatively, we may use matrix or model pricingfinancial instrument. We review and update the fair value hierarchy on a half year basis. For the categorization within the valuation hierarchy by the financial instruments, see “Fair Value” in Note 31 to determine an appropriate fair value. In determining fair values, we consider various factors, including time value, volatility factors and underlying options, warrants and derivatives.our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Level 3 assets decreased ¥1,703 billion during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 mainly because Level 3 trading securities decreased ¥739 billion and Level 3 securities available for sale decreased ¥972 billion.

The decrease in Level 3 trading securities was driven by significant decreases in equity securities and foreign asset-backed securities. The decrease of ¥333 billion in equity securities was primarily due to sales and transfers from Level 3 to Level 2. The transfers were related to certain hedge funds to which the MUFG group adopted and applied the FASB’s new guidance for investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share issued in September 2009. The decrease of ¥314 billion in foreign asset-backed securities such as CLOs backed by general corporate loans was mainly due to sales, which were partially mitigated by gains resulting from their increased fair value.

The decrease in Level 3 securities available for sale was primarily attributable to the decrease in corporate bonds, most of which were private placement bonds issued by Japanese non-public companies. Such Level 3 corporate bonds decreased ¥880 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 mainly due to redemption and transfers out of Level 3 of bonds. These transfers resulted from improvement in the creditworthiness of the private placement bonds.

 

A significant portiontotal of trading account assets and liabilities, excluding derivatives, investment¥133 billion of foreign asset-backed securities and obligationscategorized in securities available for sale were transferred out of Level 3 recurring measurements during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 mainly because CLOs held by a foreign subsidiary were reclassified from securities available for sale to return securities received as collateral consists of Japanese national government and agency bonds, and foreign government and official institutions bonds, for which prices are actively quoted among brokers and are readily available butbeing held to maturity. The securities being held to maturity are not publicly reportedmeasured at fair value and therefore are not considered quoted market prices. Additionally, a substantial portion of derivative financial instruments are comprised of over-the-counter interest rate and currency swaps and options. Estimates ofexcluded from the above fair value of these derivative transactions are determined using quantitative models with multiple market inputs, which can be validated through external sources, including brokers and market transactions with third parties.hierarchy disclosure on a recurring basis.

We use interest rate and other derivative contracts for hedging the risks affecting the values of our financial assets and liabilities. Although these contracts are generally entered into for risk management purposes, a majority of them do not meet the specific conditions to qualify for hedge accounting under US GAAP and thus are accounted for as trading positions.assets or liabilities. Any gains or losses resulting from such derivative instruments are recorded as part of net trading account profits or losses. Therefore, our net interest income for each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 20072008, 2009 and 20082010 was not materially affected by gains or losses resulting from such derivative instruments.

For a detailed discussion of our risk management systems, refer to “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Credit, Market and Other Risk.”

 

Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 20082010 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 20072009

 

Net interest income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20082010 was ¥2,279.7¥1,984.1 billion, a decrease of ¥50.1¥312.3 billion from ¥2,329.8¥2,296.4 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. This2009. The decrease wasin our net interest income mainly due to an increasereflected the impact of the low interest rate environment that continued throughout the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. In Japan, the Bank of Japan implemented monetary easing policies and maintained its “zero interest rate” policy throughout the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. As a result, the average interest rate on domestic interest-earning assets decreased more than the decrease in the average interest rate on domestic interest-bearing fundsliabilities. Central banks outside of Japan also continued to reduce their base interest rates to counter deflationary pressures caused by the financial crisis and an increase in the average balance of foreign interest-bearing funds. These increases offset the effect of the increase in the average balance of foreign interest-earning assets.economic recession.

 

The average interest rate spread on interest-bearing fundsliabilities (average interest rate for interest-earning assets minus average interest rate for interest-bearing liabilities) decreased five15 basis points from 1.24%1.23% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20072009 to 1.19%1.08% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.2010. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007,2010, the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 1.02% to 0.49% mainly due to lower foreign interest rates. However, the average rate on interest-earning assets increased partlydecreased further due to an increase in the expected cash flows from impaired loans acquired in the merger with UFJ Holdings,lower foreign interest rates, which cash flows are accounted for as adjustments to accretable yields under Statement of Position 03-3, “Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquiredresulted in a Transfer.” For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, the increasedecrease in the expected cash flows from such impaired loans was smaller than that for the previous fiscal year. The average interest rate spread on total fundsspread. Consequently, net interest income decreased showing a decrease of six basis points from 1.38% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007¥200.6 billion due to 1.32% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.changes in interest rates.

Average interest-earning assets for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20082010 were ¥172,467.3¥175,465.3 billion, an increase of ¥3,700.0¥2,222.6 billion from ¥168,767.3¥173,242.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.2009. This increase in average interest-earning assets was primarily attributable to an increase of ¥9,533.4 billion in investment securities, partially offset by a ¥4,654.9 billion decrease in both domestic and foreign loans. The increase in investment securities was mainly due to an increase in investment in Japanese national government and government agency bonds as part of our asset and liability management policy with respect to investing the amount of yen-denominated deposited funds. The increase in the average balance of domestic interest-earning assets resulted in an increase in our interest income from domestic assets for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 by ¥34.7 billion compared to the prior fiscal year, which was more than offset by a decrease in interest income from foreign assets of ¥92.9 billion due to lower average foreign interest-earning assets.

Average interest-bearing liabilities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 were ¥158,156.4 billion, an increase of ¥2,071.5 billion from ¥156,084.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of ¥3,494.3¥2,723.2 billion in foreign call loans, funds sold, and receivables under resale agreements and securities borrowing transactions, an increase of ¥3,493.3 billion in foreign loans, an increase of ¥1,600.7 billion in foreign interest-earninginterest-bearing deposits, in other banks and an increase of ¥1,538.8 billion in foreign investment securities. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of ¥4,718.6¥1,822.4 billion in domestic investment securitiesother short-term borrowings and a decrease of ¥2,016.9 billion in domestic loans. The increase in foreign loans was mainly due to the growth of the lending to Japanese and non-Japanese customers in Asia, the United States and Europe.

Average interest-bearing funds for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 were ¥156,152.0 billion, an increase of ¥9,356.0 billion, from ¥146,796.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of ¥3,779.3 billion in foreign interest-bearing deposits, an increase of ¥3,494.3 billion in foreign call money, funds purchased, and payables under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions and an increase of ¥2,183.3 billion in domestic deposits.trading account liabilities. The increase in foreign interest-bearing deposits was mainly due to increases in money market deposits and time deposits as depositors sought the fact thatsafety of deposits at large deposits from foreign central banks and government sponsored investment corporationsfinancial institutions in light of the unstable economic conditions. The increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased in responseour interest expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 by ¥53.5 billion compared to the recent difficult market conditions.prior fiscal year.

 

Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 20072009 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 20062008

 

Net interest income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20072009 was ¥2,329.8¥2,296.4 billion, an increase of ¥681.2¥16.7 billion, from ¥1,648.6¥2,279.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.2008. This increase was mainly due to decreases in the fact that netaverage interest income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 reflected onlyrates on both domestic and foreign interest-bearing liabilities. The effect of these decreases exceeded that of the post-merger MUFG for six months (withdecreases in the first half of the fiscal year reflecting that of the pre-merger MTFG only), while net interest income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 reflected that of the post-merger MUFG for the full twelve-month period. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007,average interest rates in Japan, the United Stateson both domestic and Europe generally increased. In the rising interest rate environment in Japan during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, the increase in average rates on domesticforeign interest-earning assets, such as loans, was larger than the increase in average rates on domestic interest-bearing funds, such as deposits. This increase in interest rate spread contributed to the increase in our net interest income.assets.

 

The average interest rate spread on interest-bearing fundsliabilities increased showing an increase of 12four basis points from 1.12%1.19% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20062008 to 1.24%1.23% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. The2009. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, the average rate on interest-earning assets decreased mainly due to lower foreign interest rates. However, the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities further decreased, which resulted in an increase of the average interest rate spread on interest-bearing liabilities, mainly due to the lower foreign interest rates. The net interest income as a percentage of total funds alsointerest-earning assets increased, showing an increase of 16one basis pointspoint from 1.22%1.32% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20062008 to 1.38%1.33% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.2009.

 

Average interest-earning assets for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20072009 were ¥168,767.3¥173,242.7 billion, an increase of ¥33,382.0¥775.4 billion, from ¥135,385.3¥172,467.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.2008. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of ¥13,884.9 billion in domestictrading account assets and an increase of ¥3,529.3 billion in foreign loans. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of ¥9,601.7 billion in foreign investment securities, a decrease of ¥2,058.4 billion in foreign interest-earning deposits in other banks and a decrease of ¥2,001.2 billion in call loans, funds sold, and receivables under resale agreements and securities borrowing transactions. The increase in trading account assets aswas mainly due to the average balanceapplication of the fair value option, which resulted in the reclassification of some of our securities available for sale to trading account assets. For further information, see Note 31 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Average interest-bearing liabilities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 reflected that2009 were ¥156,084.9 billion, a decrease of the post-merger results of MUFG for the full twelve-month period compared to the average balance for the previous fiscal year, which reflected only that of the post-merger MUFG for six months (with the first half of the fiscal year reflecting that of the pre-merger MTFG only).

Average interest-bearing funds for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 were ¥146,796.0 billion, an increase of ¥28,675.8¥67.1 billion, from ¥118,120.2¥156,152.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.2008. The increasedecrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of ¥1,830.1 billion in foreign interest-bearing deposits and a decrease of ¥802.6 billion in domestic long-term debt. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of ¥2,581.3 billion in domestic interest-bearing deposits. The decrease in foreign interest-bearing deposits was mainly due to

the fact that large deposits from foreign financial institutions decreased in response to the recent difficult market conditions in addition to the appreciation of the Japanese yen against the US dollar and other foreign currencies. The increase in domestic interest-bearing deposits was mainly duepartially attributable to the fact that the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 reflected only six monthsattractive interest rates of the post-merger MUFG (with the first half of the fiscal year reflecting the pre-merger MTFG only), while the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 reflected the post-merger MUFG for the full twelve-month period.our time deposits.

 

Provision for Credit Losses

 

Provision for credit losses is charged to operations to maintain the allowance for credit losses at a level deemed appropriate by management. For a description of the approach and methodology used to establish the

allowance for credit losses, see “—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financial Condition—Allowance for Credit Losses, Nonperforming and Past Due Loans.”

 

Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 20082010 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 20072009

 

Provision for credit losses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20082010 was ¥385.7¥647.8 billion, an increase of ¥27.1¥20.9 billion from ¥358.6¥626.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.2009. The increase in provision for credit losses was mainly due to weakening of the downgradefinancial condition of borrowers, especially, in credit rating of certain overseas borrowers.the manufacturing, wholesale and retail, and other industries segments.

Net foreign exchange gains (losses) primarily include transaction gains (losses) on the translation into Japanese yen of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and net gains (losses) on currency derivative instruments entered into for trading purposes. The transaction gains (losses) on the translation into Japanese yen fluctuate from period to period depending upon the spot rates at the end of each fiscal year. In principle, all transaction gains (losses) on translation of monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are included in current earnings. Transaction gains (losses) on translation into Japanese yen of securities available for sale, such as bonds denominated in foreign currencies, are not included in current earnings, but are reflected in other changes in equity from nonowner sources. However, if we recognize an impairment loss on foreign currency-denominated securities available for sale due to the appreciation of the Japanese yen against the relevant foreign currency, such impairment loss is included in current earnings as part of investment securities losses.gains (losses).

Net trading account profits (losses) primarily include net gains (losses) on trading account securities and interest rate and other derivative instruments entered into for trading purposes. Trading account assets or liabilities are carried at fair value and any changes in the value of trading account assets or liabilities, including interest rate derivatives, are recorded in net trading account profits.profits (losses). Derivative instruments for trading purposes also include those used as hedges of net exposures rather than for specifically identified assets or liabilities, which do not meet the specific criteria for hedge accounting.

 

Net investment securities gains (losses) primarily include net gains (losses) on sales of marketable securities, particularly debt securities and marketable equity securities that are classified as securities available for sale. In addition, impairment losses are recognized as an offset of net investment securities gains (losses) when management concludes that declines in fair value of investment securities are other than temporary.

 

Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 20082010 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 20072009

 

Non-interest income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20082010 was ¥1,778.1¥2,453.9 billion, a decreasean increase of ¥169.8¥2,278.8 billion, from ¥1,947.9¥175.1 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.2009. This decrease was primarily dueincrease reflects net foreign exchange gains of ¥216.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 compared to a decreasenet losses of ¥1,611.4¥206.2 billion infor the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, net trading account profits of ¥761.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 compared to net losses of ¥257.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, and net investment securities gains andof ¥223.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 compared to net losses of ¥658.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. These improvements were partially offset by a ¥49.0 billion decrease of ¥90.1 billion in fees and commissions. These decreases were offset by an increase of ¥1,457.9commissions from ¥1,188.5 billion in net foreign exchange gains and an increase of ¥69.1for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 to ¥1,139.5 billion in other non-interest income.for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.

 

Fees and commissions

 

Fees and commissions for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20082010 were ¥1,317.1¥1,139.5 billion, a decrease of ¥90.1¥49.0 billion from ¥1,407.2¥1,188.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.2009. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of ¥18.2 billion in trust fees, a decrease of ¥9.9 billion in fees and commissions on stock transfer agency services and a decrease of ¥7.1 billion in guarantee fees. The decreases in the various categories of fees and commissions reflected the general decrease in transaction volume for all types of financial transactions and activities as the economy remained weak. The decrease of the various categories was partially offset by a ¥17.6 billion increase in fees and commissions on securities businesses from the prior fiscal year as the overall volume of securities trading recovered with the improvement in stock prices in general.

Net foreign exchange gains (losses)

Net foreign exchange gains for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 were ¥216.7 billion, compared to net foreign exchange losses of ¥206.2 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. The gains in foreign exchange were mainly due to an improvement in our overall position in currency swap contracts and options fees, partially offset by the losses associated with the appreciation of Japanese yen against the US dollar and other currencies.

Net trading account profits (losses)

Net trading account profits of ¥761.5 billion were recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, compared to net trading account losses of ¥257.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. This improvement was largely due to the net profits on trading account securities, excluding derivatives, of ¥850.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, compared to net losses of ¥813.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. This improvement mainly reflected an increase in profit on evaluation of foreign currency denominated securities that was recorded under the fair value option. This was partially offset by a net loss of ¥88.5 billion on interest rate and other derivative contracts for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 as compared

to net profits of ¥555.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. Net losses on interest rate and other derivative contracts were mainly reflective of a ¥217 billion loss in equity contracts and a ¥97 billion loss in credit derivatives, partially offset by a ¥213 billion profit in interest rate contracts. Those derivative contracts were primarily held for risk management purposes, yet the majority did not meet the conditions to qualify for hedge accounting under US GAAP and thus were accounted for as trading positions.

Net investment securities gains (losses)

Net investment securities gains for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 were ¥223.0 billion compared to a net loss of ¥658.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

The net investment securities losses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 mainly reflected large impairment losses of ¥660.7 billion on marketable equity securities available for sale and of ¥155.5 billion on debt securities available for sale. Impairment losses associated with marketable equity securities and debt securities available for sale for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 were ¥62.9 billion and ¥29.8 billion respectively, as the global market conditions throughout the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 did not deteriorate further than the levels recorded at the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. In addition, net gains on sales of marketable equity securities increased to ¥213.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 from ¥28.4 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, reflecting the weak yet slightly improving market conditions as well as our increased volume of sales, while net gains on sales of debt securities available for sale decreased to ¥83.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 from ¥120.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, reflecting a decrease in the volume of sales of domestic securities by our banking subsidiaries.

Equity in losses of equity method investees

We recorded equity in losses of equity method investees of ¥104.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, an increase of ¥43.9 billion from ¥60.1 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. The larger losses in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 were mainly due to increased losses associated with our equity method investees primarily in the consumer finance industry.

Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2008

Non-interest income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 was ¥175.1 billion, a decrease of ¥1,603.0 billion from ¥1,778.1 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of ¥1,502.1 billion in foreign exchange gains and a decrease of ¥656.2 billion in trading account profits. These decreases were partially offset by a decrease of ¥714.4 billion in investment securities losses.

Fees and commissions

Fees and commissions for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 were ¥1,188.5 billion, a decrease of ¥128.6 billion from ¥1,317.1 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of ¥48.4¥30.9 billion in othertrust fees, and commissions, a decrease of ¥26.2¥30.9 billion in fees and commissions on credit cardinvestment funds business, and a decrease of ¥15.7¥24.7 billion in fees on real estate business due to a decrease of business volume.

 

Net foreign exchange gains (losses)

 

Net foreign exchange gainslosses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20082009 were ¥1,295.9¥206.2 billion, compared to net foreign exchange lossesgains of ¥162.0¥1,295.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.2008. The improvementlosses in foreign exchange gains (losses) waswere mainly due mainly to the larger appreciation of the Japanese yen against the US dollar in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008,2009, compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.2008. For reference, the foreign exchange rate expressed in Japanese yen per US$1.00 by BTMU was ¥117.47 at March 31, 2006, ¥118.05 at March 30, 2007, and ¥100.19 at March 31, 2008. All2008 and ¥98.23 at March 31, 2009. As a result of adopting the fair value option, in principle, all transaction gains or

losses on translation of eligible monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are included in current earnings. We recorded losses on translation of securities available for sale denominated in foreign currencies as non-interest income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, which were recorded as other comprehensive income in prior fiscal years. As we maintain monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies for our asset liability management, net foreign exchange gains (losses)or losses fluctuate with the appreciation (depreciation)or depreciation of the Japanese yen.

Net trading account profits (losses)

 

Net trading account profitslosses of ¥398.4¥257.8 billion were recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008,2009, compared to net trading account profits of ¥404.8¥398.4 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

2008. Net profits (losses) on interest rate and other derivative contracts were largely affected by the impact of the decrease (increase) in Japanese long-term interest rates on interest rate swaps principally held for risk management purposes. Although such contracts are generally entered into for risk management purposes, athe majority of them did not meet the conditions to qualify for hedge accounting under US GAAP and thus are accounted for as trading positions.

Though Both Japanese yen short-term interest rates and long-term interest rates generally rosedeclined during the fiscal year ended March 31, 20082009 compared to the previous fiscal year, long-term interest rates generally declined. This declineyear. These declines in short-term and long-term interest rates had a favorable impact on our interest rate swap portfolios, in which we generally maintained net receive-fix and pay-variable positions, for managing interest rate risksrisk on domestic deposits. TheHowever, the increase in net profits on interest rate and other derivative contracts of ¥307.8¥34.9 billion was offset by a decreasean increase in net profitslosses on trading account securities, excluding derivatives, of ¥314.2¥691.1 billion, primarilymainly reflecting the increase in loss on sales and revaluation from trading in debt and equity securities, including securities reclassified under the fair value option, primarily due to unfavorable market conditions.

 

Net investment securities gains (losses)

 

Net investment securities losses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20082009 were ¥1,373.1¥658.7 billion, compared to net investment securities gainsa decrease of ¥238.3¥714.4 billion, from ¥1,373.1 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.2008.

 

The net investment securities losses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20082009 mainly reflected the impairment losses of ¥1,169.1 billion on debt securities available for sale and of ¥331.3¥660.7 billion on marketable equity securities available for sale and of ¥155.5 billion on debt securities available for sale. The increase in impairmentImpairment losses on debt securities was mainlyfor the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 were ¥1,169.1 billion due to the appreciation of the Japanese yen against the US dollar indollar. The impairment losses on debt securities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 substantially decreased by ¥1,013.6 billion, compared to those for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, compareddue to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. The amount of impairment losses attributable to the appreciationelection of the Japanese yen againstfair value option for certain foreign currencies was ¥863.2 billion.securities. The increase in impairment losses on marketable equity securities was due to a general decline in Japanese stock prices in the fiscal year 2008.ended March 31, 2009. The Nikkei Stock Average, which is an average of 225 blue chip stocks listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, was ¥17,287.65 at March 30, 2007 and ¥12,525.54 at March 31, 2008.2008 and ¥8,109.53 at March 31, 2009.

 

Equity in earnings (losses)losses of equity method investees

 

We recorded equity in losses of equity method investees of ¥60.1 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, an increase of ¥25.6 billion, from ¥34.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, compared to equity in losses of equity method investees of ¥56.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.2008. The decreaseincrease in losses in the fiscal year ended March 31, 20082009 was mainly due to reducedincreased losses of an equity method investee in the consumer finance business.

Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2007 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2006

Non-interest income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 was ¥1,947.9 billion, an increase of ¥880.5 billion, from ¥1,067.4 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. This increase was primarily due to an increase of ¥388.4 billion in net trading account profits, an increase of ¥373.9 billion in fees and commissions and an increase of ¥148.4 billion in net investment securities gains. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of ¥103.0 billion in government grant for the transfer of the substitutional portion of employees’ pension fund plans, as there were no such transfers for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

Fees and commissions

Fees and commissions for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 were ¥1,407.2 billion, an increase of ¥373.9 billion, from ¥1,033.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. This increase was mainly due to the fact

that the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 reflected only six months of the post-merger MUFG (with the first half of the fiscal year reflecting the pre-merger MTFG only), while the results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 reflected the post-merger MUFG for the full twelve-month period.

Net foreign exchange gains (losses)

Net foreign exchange losses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 were ¥162.0 billion, compared to net foreign exchange losses of ¥322.4 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. The improvement in foreign exchange losses was due mainly to the smaller depreciation of the Japanese yen against foreign currencies in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. For reference, the foreign exchange rate expressed in Japanese yen per US$1.00 by BTMU was ¥107.39 at March 31, 2005, ¥117.47 at March 31, 2006 and ¥118.05 at March 30, 2007. The foreign exchange rate expressed in Japanese yen per €1.00 by BTMU was ¥138.87 at March 31, 2005, ¥142.81 at March 31, 2006 and ¥157.33 at March 30, 2007. All transaction gains or losses on translation of monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are included in current earnings. However, the transaction gains or losses on translation of securities available for sale, such as bonds denominated in foreign currencies, are not included in current earnings but are reflected in other changes in equity from nonowner sources. As we maintain monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currencies forassociated with our asset liability management, net foreign exchange gains (losses) fluctuate with the appreciation (depreciation) of the Japanese yen.

Net trading account profits (losses)

Net trading account profits of ¥404.8 billion were recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, compared to net trading account profits of ¥16.4 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.

Net profits (losses) on interest rate and other derivative contracts were largely affected by the impact of the increase (decrease) in Japanese long-term interest rates on interest rate swaps principally held for risk management purposes. Although such contracts are generally entered into for risk management purposes, a majority of them did not meet the conditions to qualify for hedge accounting under US GAAP and thus are accounted for as trading positions.

Though Japanese yen short-term interest rates generally rose during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 compared to the previous fiscal year, long-term interest rates generally declined. This decline in long-term interest rates had a favorable impact on our interest rate swap portfolios, in which we generally maintained net receive-fix and pay-variable positions, for managing interest rate risks on domestic deposits. The increase in net profits on interest rate and other derivative contracts of ¥559.9 billion was partially offset by a decrease in net profits on trading account securities, excluding derivatives of ¥171.5 billion, primarily reflecting the decline in profits from trading in debt and equity securities at MUS primarily due to unfavorable market conditions.

Net investment securities gains (losses)

Net investment securities gains for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 were ¥238.3 billion, an increase of ¥148.4 billion, from ¥89.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.

The increase in net investment securities gains for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 mainly reflected the fact that net gains on sales of Japanese government bonds increased as the book value of such bonds declined due to impairment losses recorded during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in net gains on sales of marketable equity securities and an increase in impairment losses on marketable equity securities. The decrease in net gains on sales of marketable equity securities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 was partly due to a one-time adjustment to the book value of some of our marketable equity securities in connection with the merger with UFJ Holdings. The increase in impairment losses on marketable equity securities was due to the fact that a larger number of our marketable equity securities were trading at depressed prices in a stagnant Japanese stock market in the fiscal year 2007, compared to a generally rising stock

market in the previous fiscal year. The Nikkei Stock Average, which is an average of 225 blue chip stocks listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, was ¥11,668.95 at March 31, 2005, ¥17,059.66 at March 31, 2006 and ¥17,287.65 at March 30, 2007.

Equity in earnings (losses) of equity method investees

We recorded equity in losses of equity method investees for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 of ¥56.9 billion, compared to equityprimarily in earnings of equity method investees of ¥22.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. The negative change in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 was mainly due to losses in an equity method investee in the consumer finance business.and regional banking.

Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 20082010 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 20072009

 

Non-interest expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20082010 was ¥3,659.7¥2,508.1 billion, an increasea decrease of ¥875.5¥1,100.7 billion from ¥3,608.8 billion for the previous fiscal year. This increasedecrease was primarily dueattributable to the significant decrease in impairment of both goodwill which weand other intangible assets. Impairment charges recorded duringwith respect to goodwill and other intangible assets were ¥0.5 billion and ¥12.4 billion, respectively, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 in the amount of ¥893.72010, as compared to ¥845.8 billion but for which we did not record any amountand ¥126.9 billion, respectively, for the previous fiscal year.year ended March 31, 2009. The increasedecrease in these non-interest expenses was partially offset by decreasesa ¥34.8 billion increase in impairment of intangible assetssalaries and provision for repayment of excess interest.employee benefits.

 

Salaries and employee benefits

 

Salaries and employee benefits for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20082010 were ¥909.8¥908.2 billion, an increase of ¥47.4¥34.8 billion from ¥862.4¥873.4 billion for the previous fiscal year. This increase was mainly due to an increase in allowance for bonuses reflecting the one-time severance payments related toimprovement in operating results and an earlyincrease in employee retirement program, totaling approximately ¥37expenses as a result of an increase in the number of employees who retired in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 and an increase in amortization of net actuarial loss.

Fees and commission expenses

Fees and commission expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 were ¥196.5 billion, made by a consumer finance subsidiary.decrease of ¥13.3 billion from ¥209.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. The decrease reflects the overall decrease in transaction volume for all types of financial transactions and activities as the economy remained weak.

 

Depreciation of premises and equipment

 

Depreciation of premises and equipment for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20082010 was ¥179.6¥120.3 billion, an increasea decrease of ¥60.7¥11.8 billion from ¥118.9¥132.1 billion for the previous fiscal year. This decrease was primarily attributable to a smaller base for depreciation in which we applied the declining-balance method.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 was ¥225.0 billion, a decrease of ¥53.2 billion from ¥278.2 billion for the previous fiscal year. The decrease was mainly due to a ¥31.4 billion decrease in amortization expenses on software at BTMU and termination of some of our software outsourcing contracts that reduced amortization expenses by ¥13.2 billion during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.

Impairment of intangible assets

Impairment of intangible assets for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 was ¥12.4 billion, a decrease of ¥114.5 billion from ¥126.9 billion for the previous fiscal year. The decrease reflected the fact that, as compared to the significant impairment of intangible assets related to our consumer finance subsidiary for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, we did not have an equally significant impairment of intangible assets for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.

Impairment of goodwill

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, we recorded an impairment of goodwill of ¥0.5 billion that was significantly lower than the impairment of goodwill of ¥845.8 billion for the previous fiscal year. The impairment of goodwill for the previous fiscal year reflected, among other factors, the global financial market crisis and recession which negatively impacted the fair value of our reporting units for the purposes of our periodic testing of goodwill for impairment. For further information, see Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2008

Non-interest expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 was ¥3,608.8 billion, a decrease of ¥11.5 billion from ¥3,620.3 billion for the previous fiscal year. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of impairment of goodwill, depreciation of premises and equipment, and salaries and employee benefits. The decrease in these non-interest expenses was partially offset by an increase in impairment of intangible assets, provision for repayment of excess interest, amortization of intangible assets and outsourcing expenses, including data processing.

Salaries and employee benefits

Salaries and employee benefits for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 were ¥873.4 billion, a decrease of ¥36.4 billion from ¥909.8 billion for the previous fiscal year. This decrease was mainly due to the fact that our credit card subsidiary paid early retirement benefits during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, which were not paid for in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

Depreciation of premises and equipment

Depreciation of premises and equipment for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 was ¥132.1 billion, a decrease of ¥47.5 billion from ¥179.6 billion for the previous fiscal year. This decrease primarily reflected the fact

that the depreciation of premises and equipment increased significantly for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, because we reviewed the salvage values of premises and equipment and decided to change the estimated salvage values of these assets to ¥1 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. This change had an adverse impact on our income from continuing operations before income tax expense and net loss of ¥53 billion and ¥31 billion, respectively, forFor the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.2009, we did not have such additional depreciation and this resulted in a decrease of depreciation of premises and equipment compared to the previous year. For further information, see Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2007 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2006

Non-interest expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 was ¥2,784.2 billion, an increase of ¥708.1 billion from the previous fiscal year. This increase was primarily due to increases in most types of expenses, especially salaries and employee benefits and other non-interest expenses. These increases reflected the fact that the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 reflected only six months of the post-merger MUFG (with the first half of the fiscal year reflecting the pre-merger MTFG only), while the results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 reflected the post-merger MUFG for the full twelve-month period.

Outsourcing expenses, including data processing

Outsourcing expenses, including data processing, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 was ¥267.9 billion, an increase of ¥99.9 billion, from ¥168.0 billion for the previous fiscal year. The increase was mainly due to increased expenses related to the merger with UFJ Holdings.

Amortization of intangible assets

Amortization of intangible assets for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 was ¥264.9 billion, an increase of ¥85.4 billion, from ¥179.5 billion for the previous fiscal year. This increase was mainly due to the amortization of core deposit intangibles recognized in the merger with UFJ Holdings, as well as the amortization of IT systems-related software, which also increased due to the merger.

Impairment of intangible assets

Impairment of intangible assets for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 was ¥184.8 billion, an increase of ¥184.5 billion, from ¥0.3 billion for the previous fiscal year. The increase was mainly due to the impairment of

intangible assets related to our subsidiary in the consumer finance business caused by the downward revision of projected earnings of the subsidiary due to adverse changes in the consumer finance business environment.

Minority interest in income of consolidated subsidiaries

Minority interest in income of consolidated subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 was ¥16.9 billion, a decrease of ¥140.3 billion, from ¥157.2 billion for the previous fiscal year. The decrease mainly reflects a decrease in income from our consolidated subsidiaries and variable interest entities, including, in particular, losses recorded at a consumer finance subsidiary.

Provision for repayment of excess interest

Provision for repayment of excess interest for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 was ¥106.2 billion, an increase of ¥93.3 billion from ¥12.9 billion for the previous fiscal year. The increase was mainly due to an increase in allowance for repayment at our consumer finance subsidiaries which reflected a rise in borrowers’ claims for reimbursement of excess interest payments.

The effective income tax rate of 4,476.3%31.7% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 was 8.9 percentage points lower than the combined normal effective statutory tax rate of 40.6%. This lower effective income tax rate primarily reflected a decrease in the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets which accounted for 5.8 percentage points of the difference between the combined normal effective statutory tax rate and the effective

income tax rate. The valuation allowance decreased ¥88.3 billion to ¥641.6 billion at Mach 31, 2010 from ¥729.9 billion at March 31, 2009, as a result of our projected ability to utilize net operating loss carryforward, against future taxable income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 in excess of the previously projected taxable income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 and improved probability of realization of future tax benefits based on increased expected taxable income in future periods.

The effective income tax rate of 14.7% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 was 25.9 percentage points lower than the combined normal effective statutory tax rate of 40.6%. This lower effective income tax rate primarily reflected an impairment loss on goodwill which was recognized as a result of declines in the fair value of reporting units used for impairment testing purposes due to the continuing global financial market instability. In addition, this lower tax rate reflected the increased valuation allowance for operating loss carryforwards that were no longer deemed to be realizable due to the global economic slowdown.

The effective income tax rate of 1,068.6% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 was 4,435.71,028.0 percentage points higher than the combined normal effective statutory tax rate of 40.6%. This higher effective income tax rate was primarily due to the fact that an impairment of goodwill was recorded under US GAAP, decreasing our income from

continuing operations before income tax expense and the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle to ¥12.4of ¥51.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. Under Japanese tax law, such impairment of goodwill was not deductible in computing our taxable income and, accordingly, our income tax expense was significantly higher in comparison to our income from continuing operations before income tax expense and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle reported under US GAAP. In addition, the higher effective income tax rate reflected an additional valuation allowance related to operating loss carryforwards that were no longer deemed to be “more likely than not” to be realized, due to a decline in estimated future taxable income resulting from the downturn in financial and banking businesses caused by disruptions in the global financial markets.

 

The effectiveNet income tax rate(loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests

Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2009

We recorded net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of 48.7%¥15.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20072010, compared to a net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests of ¥36.3 billion for the previous fiscal year. The improvement was 8.1 percentage points higher thanmainly due to the combined normal effective statutory tax rateabsence of 40.6%. This higher tax rate primarily reflected an addition¥29.1 billion of valuation allowance for certain companies, including a subsidiarygoodwill impairment losses at Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS that was recorded in the consumer finance business.fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

 

The effective income tax rate of 31.2%Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2008

Our net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20062009 was 9.4 percentage points lower than¥36.3 billion, compared to net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of ¥38.4 billion for the combined normal effective statutory tax rate of 40.6%. This lower tax rate primarily reflected realization of previously unrecognized tax effectsprevious fiscal year. The decrease was mainly due to further investment in conjunction with the liquidation of certain subsidiariesUNBC, which resulted in UNBC becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary and recognition of tax benefits through the reorganization of business within the MUFG Group, which were partly offset by certain items, including minority interests and tax expense on capital transactions by a subsidiary.

Business Segment Analysis

 

We measure the performance of each of our business segments primarily in terms of “operating profit.” Operating profit and other segment information in this Annual Report are based on the financial information prepared in accordance with Japanese GAAP as adjusted in accordance with internal management accounting rules and practices. Accordingly, the format and information isare not consistent with our consolidated financial statements prepared on the basis of US GAAP. For example, operating profit does not reflect items such as a part of provision (credit) for credit losses (primarily an equivalent of formula allowance under US GAAP), foreign exchange gains (losses) and equity investment securities gains (losses).

 

We operate our main businesses under an integrated business group system, which integrates the operations of BTMU, MUTB, MUS,MUMSS (formerly MUS), Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS and other subsidiaries in the following three areas—Retail, Corporate, and Trust Assets. This integrated business group system is intended to enhance

synergies by promoting more effective and efficient collaboration between our subsidiaries. Under this system, as the holding company, we formulate strategystrategies for theour Group on an integrated basis, which is then executed by the subsidiaries. Through this system, we aim to reduce overlapping of functions within theour Group, thereby increasing efficiency and realizing the benefits of group resources and scale of operations. Moreover, through greater integration of our shared expertise in banking, trust and securities businesses, we aim to deliver a more diverse but integrated lineup of products and services for our customers.

Net revenue of the Integrated Retail Banking Business Group mainly consists of revenue from commercial banking operations, such as deposits and lending operations, and fees related to the sales of investment products to retail customers, as well as fees of subsidiaries within the Integrated Retail Banking Business Group. The increase in net revenue mainly reflects the consolidation for the full fiscal year of ACOM CO., LTD., a consumer finance company which became a consolidated subsidiary for purposes of Japanese GAAP in October 2008. ACOM remains an equity method investee under US GAAP. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in revenue from deposits caused by lower interest rates and a decrease in revenue from the operations of Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS reflecting lower consumption under the depressed economy.

Net revenue of the Integrated Corporate Banking Business Group mainly consists of revenues from corporate

lending and other commercial banking operations, investment banking and trust banking businesses in relation to corporate clients, as well as fees of subsidiaries within the Integrated Corporate Banking Business Group. The decrease in net revenue was mainly due to a decrease in net revenue from domestic businesses.

With regard to the domestic businesses, net revenue of ¥945.4 billion was recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of ¥99.6 billion from the previous fiscal year. This decrease was mainly due to a decrease in net interest income from deposits in other banks and due to losses associated with CDS transactions for managing credit risk exposures, partially offset by an increase in net interest income from corporate lending and an increase in profits from the securities business reflecting an increase in securities trading activity by our customers.

With regard to the overseas businesses, net revenue of ¥613.7 billion was recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of ¥1.8 billion from the previous fiscal year. This decrease was mainly due to losses associated with CDS hedging for managing credit risk exposures, partially offset by an increase in net interest and fee revenues.

Operating profit of the Integrated Trust Assets Business Group decreased ¥12.0 billion to ¥65.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 from ¥77.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in net revenue as stated above.

Net revenue of Global Markets increased ¥132.2 billion to ¥528.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 from ¥396.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

Operating expenses of the Integrated Retail Banking Business Group increased ¥38.3¥21.2 billion from ¥919.5¥953.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20072008 to ¥957.8¥975.1 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.2009.

Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2007 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2006

Net revenue of the Integrated Retail Banking Business Group increased ¥381.9 billion, from ¥918.2 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 to ¥1,300.1 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. Net revenue of the Integrated Retail Banking Business Group mainly consists of revenue from commercial banking operations, such as deposits and lending operations, and fees related to the sales of investment products to retail customers, as well as fees of subsidiaries within the Integrated Retail Banking Business Group. The increase in

net revenue was mainly due to increases in net fees and revenue from the deposits and consumer finance businesses, including those of UFJ NICOS (presently Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS). These increases primarily reflected the fact that the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 reflected only six months of the post-merger MUFG (with the first half of the fiscal year reflecting the pre-merger MTFG only), while the results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 reflected the post-merger MUFG for the full twelve-month period. Other factors which increased net revenue were increases in fee income from investment trusts and in interest spread from our domestic Japanese Yen deposits.

Operating expenses of the Integrated Retail Banking Business Group increased ¥295.1 billion, from ¥624.4 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 to ¥919.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. The increase primarily reflected the fact that operating expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 reflected only those of the post-merger MUFG for six months (with the first half of the fiscal year reflecting those of the pre-merger MTFG only), while operating expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 reflected those of the post-merger MUFG for the full twelve-month period. An increase in general expenses due to the expansion of our consumer finance business also increased our operating expenses.

Operating profit of the Integrated Retail Banking Business Group increased ¥86.8 billion from ¥293.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 to ¥380.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. This increase was mainly due to the increase in net revenue, as stated above.

Net revenue of the Integrated Corporate Banking Business Group increased ¥299.6 billion, from ¥1,625.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 to ¥1,925.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. Net revenue of the Integrated Corporate Banking Business Group mainly consists of revenue from lending and other commercial banking operations, investment banking and trust banking businesses in relation to corporate clients, as well as fees of subsidiaries within the Integrated Corporate Banking Business Group. The increase in net revenue was due mainly to increased net revenue in domestic businesses, resulting from the merger with UFJ Holdings.

With regard to the domestic businesses, net revenue of ¥1,297.6 billion, an increase of ¥256.9 billion from the previous fiscal year, was recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. The increase primarily reflected the fact that net revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 reflected only that of the post-merger MUFG for six months (with the first half of the fiscal year reflecting that of the pre-merger MTFG only), while net revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 reflected that of the post-merger MUFG for the full twelve- month period. As a result, net revenue in most areas, such as net interest income from loans, and fees related to investment banking, settlements and securities businesses, increased. A decrease in interest spread from our lending operations to large- and medium-sized Japanese companies, due to the improved credit of many borrowers and increased competition with other financial institutions, partially offset the increase in net revenue.

With regard to the overseas businesses, net revenue of ¥627.7 billion, an increase of ¥42.7 billion from the previous fiscal year, was recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. This increase was mainly due to increased overseas businesses mainly consisting of loans to Japanese corporate clients situated outside Japan. This increase primarily reflected the fact that the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 reflected only six months of the post-merger MUFG (with the first half of the fiscal year reflecting the pre-merger MTFG only), while the results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 reflected the post-merger MUFG for the full twelve-month period. An increase in lending and foreign exchange businesses to Japanese and non-Japanese corporate clients situated in Asia, excluding Japan, also contributed to the increase in net revenue. On the other hand, net revenue at UNBC decreased mainly due to a decrease in net interest income, caused by the shift in customer deposits from non-interest bearing deposits to interest bearing deposits or other investments, in response to rising short-term interest rates in the United States.

Operating expenses of the Integrated Corporate Banking Business Group increased ¥167.9 billion, from ¥748.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 to ¥916.7 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. The increase primarily reflected the fact that operating expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006

reflected only those of the post-merger MUFG for six months (with the first half of the fiscal year reflecting those of the pre-merger MTFG only), while operating expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 reflected those of the post-merger MUFG for the full twelve-month period.

Operating profit of the Integrated Corporate Banking Business Group increased ¥131.7 billion, from ¥876.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 to ¥1,008.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. This increase was due mainly to the increase in net revenue as stated above.

Net revenue of the Integrated Trust Assets Business Group increased ¥70.8 billion, from ¥123.4 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 to ¥194.2 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. Net revenue of the Integrated Trust Assets Business Group mainly consists of fees from asset management and administration services for products such as pension trusts and investment trusts. The increase in net revenue was mainly due to an increase in business in pension products and investment trusts and the change in the managerial accounting method applied to trust fees. The managerial accounting change resulted in a ¥7.0 billion increase in net revenue and operating profit for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 compared to that for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. The consolidation of The Master Trust Bank of Japan, Ltd. and KOKUSAI Asset Management Co, Ltd. also contributed to the increase in net revenue. In addition, the increase in net revenue is partly attributable to the fact that net revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 reflected only that of the post-merger MUFG for six months (with the first half of the fiscal year reflecting that of the pre-merger MTFG only), while net revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 reflected that of the post-merger MUFG for the full twelve-month period.

Operating expenses of the Integrated Trust Assets Business Group increased ¥28.2 billion, from ¥75.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 to ¥103.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. The increase primarily reflected the fact that operating expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 reflected only those of the post-merger MUFG for six months (with the first half of the fiscal year reflecting those of the pre-merger MTFG only), while operating expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 reflected those of the post-merger MUFG for the full twelve-month period. The addition of newly consolidated subsidiaries also contributed to the increase in operating expenses.

Operating profit of the Integrated Trust Assets Business Group increased ¥42.6 billion, from ¥47.8 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 to ¥90.4 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. This increase was due mainly to the increase in net revenue as stated above.

 

Net revenue of Global Markets decreased ¥1.9increased ¥96.3 billion from ¥369.8¥300.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20062008 to ¥367.9¥396.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.2009. The decreaseincrease in net revenue was mainly caused by the risedue to improved performance in Japaneseasset liability management for both domestic and foreign currency interest rates, which resulted in a decline in revenue from our bond trading operations in such currencies. This decrease was partially offset by the fact that the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 reflected only six months of the post-merger MUFG (with the first half of the fiscal year reflecting the pre-merger MTFG only), while the results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 reflected the post-merger MUFG for the full twelve-month period.overseas operations.

The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in our loans outstanding to the domestic portfolioservices, consumer, and wholesale and retail segments, which decreased ¥3.04 trillion, ¥1.45 trillion, and ¥1.16 trillion, respectively. This decrease was partially offset by industry segment,an increase of ¥1.82 trillion in the loan balance for manufacturing increased ¥0.33 trillion andto the loan balance for banks and other financial institutions increased ¥0.34 trillion, while the loan balance for services decreased ¥0.36 trillion.real estate segment.

DespiteThe decrease in foreign corporations’ increasing need for funds, the ability of corporations to obtain funds from the capital markets mainly in the United States and Europe was affected by the recent disruptions in the financial markets. The recent disruptions in the financial markets also caused US and European banks to reduce lending activity. As a result, loans to our customers increased mainly in the United States and Europe during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.2010 was mainly due to a decrease in demand for loans from the commercial and industrial segment.

As previously discussed, the provision for credit losses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20082010 was ¥385.7¥647.8 billion, an increase of ¥27.1¥20.9 billion from ¥358.6¥626.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.2009. The increase in the provision for credit losses was mainly due to the downgradeweakening of the financial condition of borrowers, especially, in credit rating of certain overseas borrowers.the manufacturing, wholesale and retail, and other industries segments.

 

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008,2010, the ratio of the provision for the credit losses of ¥385.7¥647.8 billion to the average loan balance of ¥97.04¥95.50 trillion was 0.40%0.68%, and that to the total average interest-earning assets of ¥172.47¥175.47 trillion was 0.22%0.37%.

 

Charge-offs for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20082010 were ¥386.5¥520.8 billion, an increasea decrease of ¥83.4¥82.5 billion from ¥303.1¥603.3 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.2009. The increasedecrease in the charge-offs was mainly due to increasesdecreases in the charge-offs for the domestic manufacturing, wholesale and retail, segments.and services segments, mainly reflecting the gradual recovery of the domestic economy.

 

The total allowance for credit losses at March 31, 20082010 was ¥1,134.9¥1,315.6 billion, an increase of ¥22.4¥159.0 billion from ¥1,112.5¥1,156.6 billion at March 31, 20072009 as we recorded a provision for credit losses of ¥385.7¥647.8 billion, whereaswhile we had net charge-offs of ¥355.9¥468.4 billion.

Through the sale of nonperforming loans to third parties, additional provisions or gains may arise from factors such as a change in the credit quality of the borrowers or the value of the underlying collateral subsequent to the prior reporting date, and the risk appetite and investment policy of the purchasers.

 

Due to the inherent uncertainty of factors that may affect negotiated prices which reflect the borrowers’ financial condition and the value of underlying collateral, the fact that we recorded no additional cost during the reported periodsperiod is not necessarily indicative of the results that we may record in the future.

 

In connection with the sale of loans, including performing loans, we recorded net losses of ¥1.7 billion and net gains of ¥31.2 billion and ¥14.8¥17.8 billion for the fiscal years ended March 31, 20072009 and 2008,2010, respectively.

Allowance Policypolicy

 

Our credit rating system is closely linked to the risk grading standards set by the Japanese regulatory authorities for asset evaluation and assessment, and is used as a basis for establishing the allowance for credit losses and charge-offs. The categorization is based on conditions that may affect the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as current financial condition and results of operations, historical payment experience, credit documentation, other public information and current trends. For a discussion of our credit rating system, see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Credit, Market and Other Risk—Credit Risk Management—Credit Rating System.”

 

Change in total allowance and provision for credit losses

 

At March 31, 2008,2010, the total allowance for credit losses was ¥1,134.9¥1,315.6 billion, representing 1.15%1.43% of our total loan portfolio. At March 31, 2007,2009, the total allowance for credit losses was ¥1,112.5¥1,156.6 billion, representing 1.17%1.15% of our total loan portfolio.

The total allowance increased from ¥1,112.5to ¥1,315.6 billion at March 31, 2007 to ¥1,134.92010 from ¥1,156.6 billion at March 31, 20082009 primarily as a result of the downgradedowngrades in the credit ratingratings of certain borrowers.

The provision for credit losses fordomestic borrowers in the manufacturing, wholesale and retail, and other industry segments and overseas borrowers during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 was ¥385.7 billion, an increase of ¥27.1 billion from ¥358.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. The increase in the provision for credit losses was mainly due to the downgrade in credit rating of certain overseas borrowers.2010.

 

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008,2010, there were no significant changes in our general allowance policy, which affected our allowance for credit losses for the period, resulting from directives, advice or counsel from governmental or regulatory bodies.

 

Allocated allowance for specifically identified problem loans

 

The allocated credit loss allowance for specifically identified problem loans represents the allowance against impaired loans required under SFAS No. 114, “Accountingthe guidance on accounting by Creditorscreditors for Impairmentimpairment of a Loan.”loan. Impaired loans primarily include nonaccrual loans and restructured loans. We generally discontinue the accrual of interest income on loans when substantial doubt exists as to the full and timely collection of either principal or interest, or when principal or interest is contractually past due one month or more with respect to loans of our domestic banking subsidiaries, including BTMU and MUTB, and 90 days or more with respect to loans of certain banking subsidiaries abroad. Loans are classified as restructured loans when we grant a concession to borrowers for economic or legal reasons related to the borrowers’ financial difficulties.

 

Detailed reviews of impaired loans are performed after a borrower’s annual or semi-annual financial statements first become available. In addition, as part of an ongoing credit review process, our credit officers monitor changes in all customers’ creditworthiness, including bankruptcy, past due principal or interest, downgrades of external credit ratings, declines in the stock price, business restructuring and other events, and reassess our ratings of borrowers in response to such events. This credit monitoring process forms an integral part of our overall risk management process. An impaired loan is evaluated individually based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s estimated marketable price or the fair value of the collateral at the annual and semi-annual fiscal year end, if the loan is collateral-dependent as of a balance-sheet date.

The following table summarizes nonaccrual and restructured loans, and accruing loans that are contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments, at March 31, 2007 and 2008:

As a result, the consumer balance at March 31, 2007 and 2008 do not include those loans to individuals who utilize loan proceeds to finance their proprietor activities and not for their personal financing needs. The balance at March 31, 2007 were reclassified accordingly.

Nonaccrual and restructured loans and accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more decreased ¥19.8 billion from March 31, 2007 to ¥1,679.7 billion at March 31, 2008. Similarly, the percentage of nonperforming loans to total loans decreased to 1.70% at March 31, 2008 from 1.78% at March 31, 2007.

Total nonaccrual loans were ¥1,144.5 billion at March 31, 2008, an increase of ¥58.2 billion from ¥1,086.3 billion at March 31, 2007. While domestic nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2008 remained approximately at the same level as those at March 31, 2007, foreign nonaccrual loans were increased ¥64.4 billion between March 31, 2007 and 2008, mainly due to the downgrade in credit rating of certain overseas borrowers. Domestic nonaccrual loans in other industries decreased ¥104.0 billion mainly due to the upgrade in credit rating of certain borrowers.

Total restructured loans were ¥517.3 billion at March 31, 2008, a decrease of ¥73.4 billion from ¥590.7 billion at March 31, 2007. Domestic restructured loans decreased ¥56.4 billion to ¥492.2 billion at March 31, 2008 from ¥548.6 billion at March 31, 2007 mainly due to the upgrade in credit rating of certain large borrowers. While the restructured loans in the wholesale and retail segments decreased ¥79.2 billion and the restructured loans in the manufacturing segments decreased ¥24.7 billion, those in other industries increased ¥51.6 billion.

(2)In addition to impaired loans presented in the above table, there were loans held for sale that were impaired of ¥0.8 billion and ¥11.9 billion at March 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively.

Impaired loans increased ¥61.6 billion from ¥1,382.0 billion at March 31, 2007 to ¥1,443.6 billion at March 31, 2008, reflecting the increase in restructured loans.

The percentage of the allocated allowance to total impaired loans decreased 2.2 percentage points to 39.0% at March 31, 2008 from 41.2% at March 31, 2007.

 

Based upon a review of the financial status of borrowers, our banking subsidiaries may grant various concessions (modification of loan terms) to troubled borrowers at the borrowers’ request, including reductions in the stated interest rates, debt write-offs, and extensions of the maturity date. According to the policies of each of our banking subsidiaries, such modifications are made to mitigate the near-term burden of the loans to the borrowers and to better match the payment terms with the borrowers’ expected future cash flows or, in cooperation with other creditors, to reduce the overall debt burden of the borrowers so that they may normalize their operations, in each case to improve the likelihood that the loans will be repaid in accordance with the revised terms. The nature and amount of the concessions depend on the particular financial condition of each borrower. In principle, however, none of our banking subsidiaries modify the terms of loans to borrowers that are

considered “Likely to Become Bankrupt,” “Virtually Bankrupt,” or “Bankrupt” under the self-assessment categories established by Japanese banking regulations because in these cases there is little likelihood that the modification of loan terms would enhance recovery of the loans.

The allowance for specifically identified problem loans as of March 31, 2010 was ¥770.3 billion, an increase of ¥151.8 billion from ¥618.5 billion as of March 31, 2009. This increase reflected an increase in nonaccrual loans to domestic other industries and foreign governments and official institutions segments.

Total nonaccrual loans were ¥1,369.0 billion at March 31, 2010, an increase of ¥119.5 billion from ¥1,249.5 billion at March 31, 2009. Domestic nonaccrual loans increased ¥25.7 billion between March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010, mainly due to the downgrades in the credit ratings of borrowers in the manufacturing, communication and information services, and other industry segments. Foreign nonaccrual loans increased ¥93.8 billion between March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010, mainly due to the downgrades in the credit ratings of overseas borrowers included in the foreign governments and official institutions segment. As a result, foreign nonaccrual loans in governments and official institutions increased ¥66.3 billion.

Total restructured loans were ¥612.2 billion at March 31, 2010, an increase of ¥90.6 billion from ¥521.6 billion at March 31, 2009. The restructured loans set forth in the above table are current in accordance with the applicable restructured contractual terms. Domestic restructured loans increased ¥107.2 billion to ¥565.0 billion at March 31, 2010 from ¥457.8 billion at March 31, 2009 mainly due to the downgrades in the credit ratings of borrowers in the manufacturing, wholesale and retail, and services segments. Restructured loans in the manufacturing segment increased ¥72.6 billion, those in the wholesale and retail segment increased ¥60.3 billion and those in the services segment increased ¥42.2 billion, but those in the other industries segment decreased ¥90.0 billion.

We from time to time provide additional loans, equity capital or other forms of support, including repayment extensions, reductions in applicable interest rates, forbearance of exercising our rights as a creditor, or forgiveness of loans, to borrowers our outstanding loans to whom are classified as nonaccrual and restructured loans and accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more, based on our internal policy, in order to facilitate their restructuring and revitalization efforts. We decide whether to grant additional financial supports to those borrowers on a case by case basis. Factors that affect our decision include the prospects of those borrowers recovering their ability to service their debt to an extent where they are reasonably expected to be reclassified as normal borrowers in the future, as a result of an improvement in the operations and financial condition of those borrowers.

Impaired loans and Impairment allowance

Notes:

(1)These loans do not require an allowance for credit losses under the guidance on accounting by creditors for impairment of a loan since the fair values of the impaired loans equal or exceed the recorded investments in the loans.
(2)In addition to impaired loans presented in the above table, there were loans held for sale that were impaired in the amount of ¥14.5 billion at March 31, 2010. There were no such impaired loans at March 31, 2009.

Impaired loans increased by ¥249.7 billion from ¥1,576.2 billion at March 31, 2009 to ¥1,825.9 billion at March 31, 2010, reflecting the increase in nonaccrual loans and restructured loans.

The percentage of the allocated allowance to total impaired loans increased 3.0 percentage points to 42.2% at March 31, 2010 from 39.2% at March 31, 2009.

 

Allocated allowance for large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans

 

The allocated credit loss allowance for large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans is focused on loss experience for the pools of loans rather than on an analysis of individual loans. Large groups of smaller- balance homogeneous loans primarily consist of first mortgage housing loans to individuals. The allowance for groups of performing loans is based on historical loss experience over a period. In determining the level of the allowance for delinquent groups of loans, we classify groups of homogeneous loans based on the risk rating and/or the number of delinquencies. We determine the credit loss allowance for delinquent groups of loans based on the probability of insolvency by the number of actual delinquencies and actual loss experience.

 

The allocated credit loss allowance for large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans was ¥129.1¥103.9 billion at March 31, 2008, a decrease2010, an increase of ¥0.5¥6.0 billion from ¥129.6¥97.9 billion at March 31, 2007.2009.

 

Allocated allowance for country risk exposure

 

The allocated credit loss allowance for country risk exposure is based on an estimate of probable losses relating to the exposure to countries that we identify as having a high degree of transfer risk. The countries to which the allowance for country risk exposure relates are decided based on a country risk grading system used to assess and rate the transfer risk to individual countries. The allowance is generally determined based on a function of default probability and expected recovery ratios, taking external credit ratings into account.

 

The allocated allowance for country risk exposure was approximately ¥0.1¥0.8 billion at March 31, 2007 and 2008.2010, a decrease of ¥0.3 billion from ¥1.1 billion at March 31, 2009.

 

Formula allowance for substandard, special mention and unclassified loans

 

The formula allowance is calculated by applying estimated loss factors to outstanding substandard, special mention and unclassified loans. In evaluating the inherent loss for these loans, we rely on a statistical analysis that incorporates a percentage of total loans based on historical loss experience.

 

The formula allowance increased ¥26.6decreased ¥9.8 billion from ¥406.1to ¥423.0 billion at March 31, 2007 to ¥432.72010 from ¥432.8 billion at March 31, 2008. The main reason for this increase was downgrades of loans to some borrowers to substandard loans or special mention loans.2009.

 

Each of our banking subsidiaries has computed the formula allowance based on estimated credit losses using a methodology defined by the credit rating system. Estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date are calculated by multiplying the default ratio by the nonrecoverable ratio (determined as a complement of the recovery ratio). The default ratio is determined by each credit risk rating, taking into account the historical number of defaults of borrowers within each credit risk rating divided by the total number of borrowers within that credit risk rating existing at the beginning of the three-year observation period. The recovery ratio is mainly determined by the historical experience of collections against loans in default. The default ratio, the recovery ratio and other indicators are continually reviewed and improved to compute the formula allowance and the allowance for off-balance-sheet instruments. In addition, an appropriate adjustment to the formula allowance and the allowance for off-balance-sheet instruments, considering the risk of losses from large obligors and other credit risks, is examined and made by analyzing the difference between the allowance computed by multiplying the default ratio by the nonrecoverable ratio and the allowance calculated based on the loss experience ratio.

UNBC, our largest overseas subsidiary, calculates the formula allowance by applying loss factors to outstanding loans and certain unused commitments, in each case based on the internal risk grade of such loans,

leases and commitments. Changes in risk grades affect the amount of the formula allowance. Loss factors are based on their historical loss experience and may be adjusted for significant factors that, in management’s judgment, affect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the evaluation date. Loss factors are developed in the following ways:

 

loss factors for individually graded credits are derived from a migration model that tracks historical losses over a period, which we believe captures the inherent losses in our loan portfolio; and

pooled loan loss factors (not individually graded loans) are based on expected net charge-offs. Pooled loans are loans that are homogeneous in nature, such as consumer installment, home equity, residential mortgage loans and certain small commercial and commercial real estate loans.

Though there are a few technical differences in the methodology used for the formula allowance for credit losses as mentioned above, we examine the overall sufficiency of the formula allowance periodically by back-test comparison with the actual loss experience subsequent to the balance sheet date.

 

Unallocated allowance

 

The unallocated allowance is based on management’s evaluation of conditions that are not directly reflected in the determination of the formula and specific allowances. The evaluation of the inherent loss with respect to these conditions is subject to a higher degree of uncertainty because they may not be identified with specific problem credits or portfolio segments. The conditions evaluated in connection with the unallocated allowance include the following, which were considered to exist at the balance sheet date:

 

general economic and business conditions affecting our key lending areas;

Executive management reviews these conditions quarterly in discussion with our senior credit officers. To the extent that any of these conditions isare evidenced by a specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, management’s estimate of the effect of such conditions may be reflected as a specific allowance, applicable to such credit or portfolio segment.allowance. Where any of these conditions isare not evidenced by a specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, management’s evaluation of the probable loss related to such conditionconditions is reflected in the unallocated allowance.

 

The unallocated allowance increased ¥2.7¥11.3 billion from ¥7.0to ¥17.6 billion at March 31, 2007 to ¥9.72010 from ¥6.3 billion at March 31, 2008. This increase resulted mainly from management’s negative outlook of economic and specific industry conditions.2009.

 

Allowance for Off-balance-sheet Credit Instruments

 

In addition to the allowance for credit losses on the loan portfolio, we maintain an allowance for credit losses on off-balance-sheet credit instruments, including commitments of credit, guarantees and standby letters of

credit. This allowance is included in other liabilities. With regard to the specific allocated allowance for specifically identified credit exposure and the allocated formula allowance, we apply the same methodology that we use in determining the allowance for loan credit losses. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance-sheet credit instruments was ¥97.3¥85.7 billion at March 31, 2008,2010, an increase of ¥12.3¥1.1 billion from ¥85.0¥84.6 billion at March 31, 2007. The increase in the allowance for credit losses on off-balance-sheet credit instruments was mainly due to the downgrade in credit rating of certain overseas borrowers.2009.

Investment Portfolio

 

Our investment securities are primarily comprised of marketable equity securities and Japanese national government and Japanese government agency bonds, whichcorporate bonds and marketable equity securities. Japanese national government and Japanese government agency bonds are mostly classified as available-for-sale securities.securities available for sale. We also hold Japanese national government bonds which are classified as securities being held to maturity.

 

Historically, we have held equity securities of some of our customers for strategic purposes, in particular, to maintain long-term relationships with these customers. However, we have been reducing the aggregate value of our equity securities because we believe that from a risk management perspective reducing the price fluctuation risk in our equity portfolio is imperative. As of March 31, 2008,2010, the aggregate value of our marketable equity securities under Japanese GAAP satisfiessatisfied the requirements of the legislation prohibiting banks from holding equity securities in excess of their Tier I capital.

 

Investment securities decreased ¥7.23increased ¥17.41 trillion from ¥49.38to ¥55.05 trillion at March 31, 2007 to ¥42.152010 from ¥37.64 trillion at March 31, 20082009 due primarily to the sale ofa ¥15.26 trillion increase in Japanese national government and Japanese government agency bonds to take advantage of lower market interest rates and to a lesser extent due to the¥1.14 trillion increase in U.S. Treasury and other U.S. government agencies bonds, partially offset by a ¥0.41 trillion decrease in net unrealized gaincorporate bonds. The general improvement in stock prices of Japanese equity securities resulted in an increase of our marketable equity securities relevantby ¥0.48 trillion at March 31, 2010 compared to the decline in the Japanese stock market.March 31, 2009. Investment securities other than securities available for sale or being held to maturity (i.e., nonmarketable equity securities set forth on our consolidated balance sheet as other investment securities) were primarily carried at cost of ¥1.43 trillion and ¥1.69 trillion at March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010, respectively, because their fair values were not readily determinable. See“—Critical Accounting Estimates—Fair Value Hierarchy.”

Net unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities decreased ¥2.23 trillion from ¥4.38 trillionavailable for sale increased ¥871.5 billion to ¥1,568.0 billion at March 31, 2007 to ¥2.15 trillion2010 from ¥696.5 billion at March 31, 2008.2009. This decreaseincrease primarily consisted of a ¥1.95 trillion decrease¥852.2 billion increase in net unrealized gains on marketable equity securities and a ¥0.28 trillion decrease in net unrealized gains on debt securities. The decreaseincrease in net unrealized gains of ¥1.95 trillion¥852.2 billion on marketable equity securities was mainly due to the decreaseincrease in stock prices which negativelyfavorably affected our holdings of Japanese equity securities. The decrease in net unrealized gains on debt securities was mainly due to the appreciation of the Japanese yen against the US dollar that negatively affected the yen value of our foreign mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities. The decline in market prices of asset-backed securitization products due to the deterioration in credit markets was also a factor resulting in our reporting net unrealized losses on mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities.

 

The amortized cost of securities being held to maturity decreased ¥0.19 trillionincreased ¥131.4 billion compared to the previous fiscal year. The decrease wasyear mainly due to a ¥402.6 billion increase in foreign government bonds to counter the low interest rate environment in the domestic bond market, partially offset by the redemption of Japanese national government bonds.bonds classified as securities being held to maturity.

 

Cash and Due from Banks

 

Cash and due from banks fluctuate significantly from day to day depending upon financial market conditions. Cash and due from banks at March 31, 20082010 was ¥4.09¥2.86 trillion, an increasea decrease of ¥1.24¥0.21 trillion from ¥2.85¥3.07 trillion at March 31, 2007.2009. The increasedecrease was primarily due to an increasea decrease in our deposit balance with the Bank of Japan, resulting from an increase in our totalcash balance of time deposits.our domestic offices.

 

Interest-earning Deposits in Other Banks

 

Interest-earning deposits in other banks fluctuate significantly from day to day depending upon financial market conditions. Interest-earning deposits in other banks at March 31, 20082010 were ¥6.32¥4.78 trillion, an increase of ¥0.26¥1.24 trillion from ¥6.06¥3.54 trillion at March 31, 2007.2009. This increase primarily reflected an increase in released fundsinterest-earning deposits denominated in Euro-yen markets.foreign currencies of our overseas offices.

 

Receivables under resale agreementsResale Agreements

 

Receivables under resale agreements at March 31, 2008 was ¥7.112010 were ¥3.54 trillion, an increase of ¥2.55¥1.01 trillion from ¥4.56¥2.53 trillion at March 31, 2007.2009. The increase was primarily due to an increase in transaction volume of receivables under resale agreements at our overseas subsidiaries’ transactions with institutional investors.subsidiaries to manage and invest increased customer deposits.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill at March 31, 20082010 was ¥1.07 trillion, a decrease of ¥0.77 trillion¥381.5 billion, substantially unchanged from ¥1.84 trillion at March 31, 2007. This decrease was mainly because goodwill impairment loss of ¥893.7 billion was recognized for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, compared to no impairment for the previous fiscal year. For further information, see “—A. Operating Results—Impairment of Goodwill.”2009.

 

Deferred Tax Assets

The decrease primarily reflected an increase was primarily due to a decrease in deferred tax liabilities related to a decline in net unrealized gains on investment securities due to a recovery in the fair market value of these securities. A decrease in net operating loss carryforwards, which was partly offset byis attributable to our ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards against taxable income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, also contributed to a decrease in deferred tax assets for utilized operating loss carryforwards and an additional valuation allowance related to operating loss carryforwards that were no longer deemed to be “more likely than not” to be realized due to a decline in estimated future taxable income resulting from the downturn in financial and banking businesses caused by disruptions in the global financial markets.

Total Liabilities

 

At March 31, 2008,2010, total liabilities were ¥182.24¥190.98 trillion, an increase of ¥6.47¥3.95 trillion from ¥175.77¥187.03 trillion at March 31, 2007, as2009, while the total balance of deposits was ¥129.24 trillion, an increase of ¥2.65 trillion from ¥126.59¥135.47 trillion at March 31, 2007.2010, an increase of ¥7.14 trillion from ¥128.33 trillion at March 31, 2009. The increase in interest bearingtotal deposits of ¥5.40¥7.14 trillion compared to the previous fiscal year end was partially offset by the decreasedecreases in non-interest bearing depositsother short-term borrowings of ¥2.74¥1.77 trillion, trading account liabilities of ¥0.80 trillion, and other liabilities of ¥0.68 trillion.

 

The appreciation of the Japanese yen against the US dollar and other foreign currencies during the fiscal year endedbetween March 31, 2008 decreased2009 and March 31, 2010 resulted in a decrease in the Japanese yen amount of foreign currency-denominated liabilities at March 31, 2010 by ¥9.02¥0.10 trillion.

Deposits

 

Deposits are our primary source of funds. Total average balance of deposits increased ¥3.49¥2.95 trillion from ¥123.53to ¥130.02 trillion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 to ¥127.022010 from ¥127.07 trillion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.2009. This increase primarily reflected an increase of ¥3.78¥2.72 trillion in average foreign interest-bearing deposits.deposits, principally money market deposits and time deposits as depositors sought the safety of deposits at large financial institutions in light of the unstable economic conditions, especially in the United States and Europe.

 

DomesticThe balance at the end of the fiscal year of domestic deposits increased ¥0.79¥1.90 trillion from ¥108.71to ¥112.73 trillion at March 31, 2007 to ¥109.502010 from ¥110.83 trillion at March 31, 2008,2009, and the balance at the end of the fiscal year of foreign deposits increased ¥1.87¥5.24 trillion from ¥17.87¥17.50 trillion at March 31, 20072009 to ¥19.74¥22.74 trillion at March 31, 2008. As for2010. Within domestic deposits, the balance of non-interest bearing deposits decreased while interest-bearing deposits increased, partially in response to depositors’ preference to seek the rising short-term interest rates that made interest-bearingsafety of deposits more attractive.at large financial institutions. The increase in foreign deposits was mainly due to an increase in foreign interest-bearing deposits was mainly due toof our overseas offices, especially in the fact that large deposits from foreign central banksUnited States and government sponsored investment corporations increased in response to the recent difficult market conditions.Europe.

 

Short-term Borrowings

 

We use short-term borrowings as a funding source and in our management of interest rate risk. For management of interest rate risk, short-term borrowings are used in asset-liability management operations to match interest rate risk exposure resulting from loans and other interest-earning assets and to manage funding costs of various financial instruments at an appropriate level, based on our forecast of future interest rate levels. Short-term borrowings consist of call money and funds purchased, payables under repurchase agreements, payables under securities lending transactions, due to trust accounts and other short-term borrowings.

 

Short-term borrowings increased ¥3.08decreased ¥3.07 trillion from ¥23.17to ¥25.02 trillion at March 31, 2007 to ¥26.252010 from ¥28.09 trillion at March 31, 2008.2009. This increasedecrease was primarily attributable to an increasea decrease of ¥3.68¥1.77 trillion in payables under repurchase agreements entered into to maintain liquidity in our money market operations.other short-term borrowings which were comprised of borrowings from the Bank of Japan and other financial institutions.

 

Long-term debt

 

Long-term debt at March 31, 20082010 was ¥13.68¥14.16 trillion, a decreasean increase of ¥0.71¥0.89 trillion from ¥14.39¥13.27 trillion at March 31, 2007.2009.

For further information, see Note 1614 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Benefit Obligations

As of March 31, 2009 and 2010, we had benefit obligations of ¥2,000.3 billion and ¥1,887.1 billion, respectively, and the fair value of our plan assets was ¥1,814.0 billion and ¥2,108.5 billion, respectively. The fair value of our plan assets has fluctuated significantly depending on the general market conditions in recent fiscal years. If the fair value of our pension plan assets declines or our investment return on our pension plan assets decreases, or if a change is made in the actuarial assumptions on which the calculations of the projected pension obligations are based, we may incur losses. Changes in the interest rate environment could also result in an increase in our pension obligations and annual funding costs. In addition, unrecognized prior service costs may be incurred if our pension plans are amended.

 

Sources of Funding and Liquidity

 

Our primary source of liquidity is from a large balance of deposits, mainly ordinary deposits, certificates of deposit and time deposits. Time deposits have historically shown a historically high rollover rate among our corporate customers and individual depositors. Due to our broad customer base in Japan and the depositors’ preference to seek the safety of deposits at large financial institutions, the balance of our deposits increased from ¥128.33 trillion at March 31, 2009 to ¥135.47 trillion at March 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2008,2010, our deposits of ¥129.24 trillion exceeded

our loans, net of allowance for credit losses of ¥97.87¥90.87 trillion, by ¥31.37¥44.60 trillion. These deposits provide us with a sizable source of stable and low-cost funds. While approximately 44.8% of certificates of deposit and time deposits mature within three months, we continuously monitor relevant interest rate characteristics of these funds and utilize asset and liability management techniques to manage the possible impact of the rollovers on our net interest margin and liquidity. Our average deposits, combined with average shareholders’total equity of ¥7.86 trillion, funded 70.6%70.5% of our average total assets of ¥194.07¥195.56 trillion during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.

2010.

Most of the remaining funding was provided by short-term borrowings and long-term senior and subordinated debt. Short-term borrowings consist of call money and funds purchased, payables under repurchase agreements, payables under securities lending transactions, due to trust account, and other short-term borrowings. From time to time, we have issued long-term instruments such as straight bonds with mainly three to five years’ maturity. Liquidity may also be provided by the sale of financial assets, including securities available for sale, trading account securities and loans. Additional liquidity may be provided by the maturity of loans.

The decreaseincrease in total shareholders’ equity, and the resulting decreaseincrease in the ratio to total assets, at March 31, 20082010 were principally attributable to a decrease in accumulated deficit of ¥827.7 billion, an increase in accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources, net of taxes, of ¥1,472.7¥768.3 billion, an increase in capital surplus of ¥523.7 billion, and aan increase in common stock of ¥515.6 billion. The increase in common stock and capital surplus was mainly due to the capital procured through the common stock offering in December 2009. The decrease in retained earningsaccumulated deficit was mainly due to our recording net income available to common shareholders of ¥701.5Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group of ¥838.1 billion which were partially offset by a decrease in treasury stock of ¥274.2 billion.for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. The decreaseincrease in accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources, net of taxes, was mainlyprimarily due to a declinean increase in the Japanese stock market, which resulted in a decrease in net unrealized gaingains on investment securities available for sale. The decreaseand an increase in retained earnings was mainly due to our recording a net loss for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in treasury stock was primarily due to the use of our treasury stock in the share exchange transaction to make MUS a wholly owned subsidiary in September 2007, which was partially offset by the repurchase of our common shares in the market in December 2007.pension liability adjustments.

 

Due to our holdings of a large amount of marketable Japanese equity securities and the volatility of the equity markets in Japan, changes in the fair value of marketable equity securities have significantly affected our shareholders’ equity.total equity in recent years.

Capital Adequacy

 

We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements promulgated by the regulatory authorities of the countries in which we operate. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate mandatory actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our consolidated financial statements. Moreover, if our capital ratios are perceived to be low, our counterparties may avoid entering into transactions with us, which in turn could negatively affect our business and operations. For further information, see “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—We may not be able to maintain our capital ratios above minimum required levels, which could result in the suspension of some or all of our operations.”

 

We continually monitor our risk-adjusted capital ratio closely and manage our operations in consideration of the capital ratio requirements. These ratios are affected not only by fluctuations in the value of our assets, including our credit risk assets such as loans and equity securities, the risk weights of which depend on the borrowers’ or issuers’ internal ratings, marketable securities and deferred tax assets, but also by fluctuations in the value of the Japanese yen against the US dollar and other foreign currencies and by general price levels of Japanese equity securities.

 

Capital Requirements for Banking Institutions in Japan

 

A Japanese banking institution is subject to the minimum capital adequacy requirements both on a consolidated basis and a stand-alone basis, and is required to maintain the minimum capital irrespective of whether it operates independently or as a subsidiary under the control of another company. A bank holding company is also subject to the minimum capital adequacy requirements on a consolidated basis. Under the guidelines of the Financial Services Agency’s guidelines,Agency of Japan, or the FSA, capital is classified into three tiers, referred to as Tier I, Tier II and Tier III capital. Our Tier I capital generally consists of shareholders’ equity items, including common stock, non-cumulative preferred stock, capital surplus, minoritynoncontrolling interests and retained earnings (which includes deferred tax assets), but. However, recorded goodwill and other items, such as treasury stock and unrealized losses on investment securities classified as “securities available for sale” under Japanese GAAP, net of taxes, if any, are deducted from Tier I capital. Our Tier II capital generally consists of the amount (up to a maximum of 0.6% of credit risk-weighted assets) by which eligible reserves for credit losses exceedsexceed expected losses in the Internal Ratings Basedinternal ratings-based approach, or the IRB approach, and general reserves for credit losses, subject to a limit of 1.25% of modified risk-weighted assets determined by the partial use of the Standardized Approach (including a phased rollout of the IRB approach), 45% of the unrealized gains on investment securities classified as “other securities,”“securities available for sale” under Japanese GAAP, 45% of the land revaluation excess, the balance of perpetual subordinated debt and the balance of subordinated term debt with an original maturity of over five years subject to certain limitations, up to 50% of Tier I capital. Our Tier III capital consists of short-term subordinated debt with an original maturity of at least two years, subject to certain limitations. At least 50% of the minimum capital requirements must be maintained in the form of Tier I capital.

 

The eligible regulatory capital set forth in the Financial Services Agency’sFSA’s guidelines discussed above werewas modified as of March 31, 2007 to reflect the “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards: A Revised Framework,” often referred to as “Basel II.” In December 2009, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision released proposals designed to strengthen global capital and liquidity regulations. If the proposals, including other proposals released thereafter, are adopted, they could impose stricter capital requirements and new liquidity requirements on global financial institutions such as us. For further information, see “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—We may not be able to maintain our capital ratios above minimum required levels, which could result in the suspension of some or all of our operations.”

 

As of March 31, 20072009 and 2008,2010, we have calculated our risk-weighted assets in accordance with the FSA guidelines reflecting Basel II. In determining capital ratios under the FSA guidelines reflecting Basel II, most ofwe and our majorbanking subsidiaries adoptedused the Foundation Internal Ratings Basedadvanced internal ratings-based approach, or the FIRBAIRB approach, to reflect thecalculate capital requirements for credit risk inas of the risk-weighted assets. Underend of March 2009 and 2010. The Standardized Approach is used for some subsidiaries that are considered to be immaterial to the FIRB approach, weoverall MUFG capital requirements and our major banking a few

subsidiaries generally take into account probabilityadopted a phased rollout of default, or PD, applicable to borrower rating and PD, loss given default and exposure at default applicable to pool assignment.the internal ratings-based approach. Market risk is reflected in the risk-weighted assets by applying the Internal Models Approach to calculate general market risk and the Standardized Methodology to calculate specific risk. Under the Internal Models Approach, we principally use a historical simulation model to calculate value-at-risk amounts by estimating the profit and loss on our portfolio by applying actual fluctuations in thehistorical market rates and prices over a fixed period inperiod. Under the past. UnderFSA guidelines reflecting Basel II, we newly reflectedreflect operational risk in the risk-weighted assets by applying the Standardized Approach. Specifically, operational risk capital charge is determined based on the amount of gross profit allocated to business lines multiplied by a factor ranging from 12% to 18%.

 

For additional discussion of the calculation of our capital ratios, under Basel II, see Note 2221 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Under the Japanese regulatory capital requirements, our consolidated capital components, including Tier I, Tier II and Tier III capital and risk-weighted assets, are calculated from our consolidated financial statements prepared under Japanese GAAP. Also, each of the consolidated and stand-alone capital components and risk-weighted assets of our banking subsidiaries in Japan is calculated from consolidated and non-consolidated financial statements prepared under Japanese GAAP.

 

For a detailed discussion of the capital adequacy guidelines adopted by the Financial Services AgencyFSA and proposed amendments, see “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—Japan—Capital Adequacy.”

 

Capital Requirements for Banking Institutions in the United States

 

In the United States, UNBC and its banking subsidiary, UBOC,Union Bank, our largest subsidiaries operating outside Japan, are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by US Federal banking agencies, including minimum capital requirements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, they must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under US regulatory accounting practices. Their capital amounts and prompt corrective action classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

 

In addition, BTMU and MUTB are subject to the Federal Reserve’s requirements as foreign banking organizations that have US branches and agencies and that are controlled by us as a financial holding company.

For a detailed discussion of the capital adequacy guidelines applicable to our US banking subsidiaries,us in the United States, see “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—United States—Bank Capital Requirements and Capital Distributions.”

 

Capital Requirements for Securities Firms in Japan and Overseas

 

We have securities subsidiaries in Japan and overseas, which are also subject to regulatory capital requirements. In Japan, the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law of Japan and related ordinances require financial instruments firms to maintain a minimum capital ratio of 120% calculated as a percentage of capital accounts less certain illiquidfixed assets, as determined in accordance with Japanese GAAP, against amounts equivalent to market, counterparty credit and operations risks. Specific guidelines are issued as a ministerial ordinance which detaildetails the definition of essential components of the capital ratios, including capital, illiquid assets deductions,deductible fixed asset items and risks, and related measures. Failure to maintain a minimum capital ratio will trigger mandatory regulatory actions. A capital ratio of less than 140% will call for regulatory reporting and a capital ratio of less than 100% may lead to a suspension of all or part of the business for a period of time and cancellation of registration. Overseas securities subsidiaries are subject to the relevant regulatory capital requirements of the countries or jurisdictions in which they operate.

Non-exchange Traded Contracts Accounted for at Fair Value

 

The use of non-exchange traded or over-the-counter contracts provides us with the ability to adapt to the varied requirements of a wide customer base while mitigating market risks. Non-exchange traded contracts are accounted for at fair value, which is generally based on pricing models or quoted market prices for instruments with similar characteristics. Gains or losses on non-exchange traded contracts are included in “Trading account profits—profits (losses)—net” in our consolidated statements of operations. These contracts consist primarily of crude oil commodity contracts.operations included elsewhere in this Annual Report. The following table summarizes the changes in fair value of non-exchange traded contracts for the fiscal years ended March 31, 20072009 and 2008:2010:

See Note 2524 to our consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere in this Annual Report, for a description of the nature of our guarantees and other off-balance-sheet instruments.

The contractual amounts of these guarantees and other off-balance-sheet instruments represent the amounts at risk shouldif the contracts were to be fully drawn upon withas a result of a subsequent default by our customer and a decline in the value of the underlying collateral. Because many of these commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total contractual or notional amounts of these commitments do not necessarily represent our future cash requirements. At March 31, 2008,2010, approximately 64%54% of these commitments will expire within one year, 31%42% from one year to five years and 5%4% after five years. Such risks are monitored and managed as a part of our risk management system as set forth in “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Credit, Market and Other Risk.” In addition, in accordance with SFAS No. 5, weWe evaluate off-balance-sheet arrangementarrangements in the manner described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

 

In the aggregate, the income generated from fees and commissions is one of our most important sources of revenue. Such income amounted to ¥1,317.1 billion during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, accounting for approximately 74% of our non-interest income which amounted to ¥1,778.1 billion for the fiscal year. However, theThe fees generated specifically from off-balance-sheet arrangements are not a dominant source of our overall fees and commissions.

 

Some of our off-balance-sheet arrangements are related to activities of special purpose entities, most of which are variable interest entities, or VIEs.

The following table presents, by type of VIE, the total assets of non-consolidated VIEs and the maximum exposures to non-consolidated VIEs at March 31, 2007 and 2008. The total assets of non-consolidated VIEs and the maximum exposure to non-consolidated VIEs at March 31, 2007 have been restated. For further information, see Note 2625 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

F.Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations

 

Off-balance sheet arrangements include the following types of special purpose entities:

Asset-backed Commercial Paper Conduits

We administer several multi-seller finance entities (primarily commercial paper conduits) that purchase financial assets, primarily pools of receivables, from third-party customers. The assets purchased by these conduits are generally funded by issuing commercial paper to and/or by borrowings from us or third parties. While customers basically continue to provide servicing for the transferred trade receivables, we underwrite, distribute, make a market in commercial paper issued by the conduits, and also provide liquidity and credit support facilities to the entities.

Securitization Conduits of Client Properties

We administer several conduits that acquire assets, such as real estate, from third-party customers (“property sellers”) with the property sellers continuing to use the acquired real estate through lease-back agreements. The

equity of the conduits is provided by the property sellers but such equity holders have no ability to make decisions about the activities of the conduits. Thus, we consider those conduits to be VIEs. The assets acquired by these conduits are generally funded by borrowings from us or third parties.

Investment Funds

We hold investments and loans in various investment funds that collectively invest in equity and debt securities, including listed Japanese securities and investment grade bonds, and, to a limited extent, securities and other interests issued by companies, including those in a start-up or restructuring stage. Such investment funds are managed by investment advisory companies or fund management companies that make investment decisions and administer the funds.

We not only manage the composition of investment trust funds but also play a major role in composing venture capital funds. We generally do not have significant variable interests through composing these types of funds.

We occasionally sell assets such as nonperforming loans to these funds, in particular the Corporate Recovery Fund, when we believe that such sale may improve our asset quality.

Corporate Recovery Fund.    We have non-controlling equity interests in corporate recovery funds whose principal business purpose is to generate profits by investing in companies in the process of restructuring and then, typically, to sell these investments after the companies complete their restructurings. Such funds purchase nonperforming loans from us or others and in some cases acquire majority ownership in the borrower companies by means of a debt-for-equity swap. Our non-voting interests in these funds amounted to ¥35.6 billion at March 31, 2007 and ¥55.6 billion at March 31, 2008, respectively. In addition, at March 31, 2008, we had commitments to make additional contributions up to ¥10.2 billion to these funds.

We sold to corporate recovery funds nonperforming loans with an aggregate net book value of ¥1.7 billion for ¥0.3 billion during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. For a detailed discussion on additional provisions for credit losses associated with the sale of such loans, see “—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financial Condition—Allowance for Credit Losses, Nonperforming and Past Due Loans.”

Venture Capital Fund.    We own non-controlling equity interests in investment funds managed by fund management companies who have discretionary investment powers. These funds seek to invest in start-up companies or companies that are rapidly developing. We made contributions to these funds amounting to ¥532.4 billion at March 31, 2008. At March 31, 2008, in accordance with the applicable limited partnership agreements, we had commitments to make additional contributions up to ¥83.1 billion when required by the fund management companies.

Investment Trust.    We purchase the share units of investment trusts as mid- to long-term investments. These investment trusts are managed by investment advisory companies with the objective of investing in a diversified portfolio consisting of equity and debt securities, primarily shares of Japanese public companies.

Generally, we are not obligated to invest in or extend funds by purchasing additional share units and our off-balance-sheet exposures or commitments relating to this type of special purpose entity were not material.

Special Purpose Entities Created for Structured Financing

We extend non-recourse asset-backed loans to special purpose entities, which hold beneficial interests primarily in real properties, to provide financing for special purpose projects including real estate development and natural resource development managed by third parties.

We generally act as a member of a lending group and do not have any equity investment in the entities, which is typically provided by project owners. For most of these financings, the equity provided by the project owners is of sufficient level to absorb expected losses, while expected residual returns to the owners are arranged to be the most significant among all returns. Accordingly, we have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of most of these entities. However, in transactions with entities whose investments at risk are exceptionally thin, where we provide most of the financing, we are ultimately required to consolidate this type of entity.

Repackaged Instruments

We have two types of relationships with special purpose entities that repackage financial instruments to create new financial instruments.

We provide repackaged instruments with features that meet the customers’ needs and preferences through special purpose entities. We purchase financial instruments such as bonds and transfer them to special purpose entities which then issue new instruments. The special purpose entities may enter into derivative transactions including interest rate and currency swaps with us or other financial institutions to modify the cash flows of the underlying financial instruments. We underwrite and market the new instruments issued by the special purpose entities to our customers.

We also invest in repackaged instruments arranged and issued by third parties.

Trust Arrangements

We offer a variety of asset management and administration services under trust arrangements including securities investment trusts, pension trusts and trusts used as securitization vehicles. Although in limited cases we may assume risks through guarantees or certain protections as provided in the agreements or relevant legislation, we have determined that we will not absorb a majority of expected losses in connection with such trust arrangements. In a typical trust arrangement, however, we manage and administer assets on behalf of the customers in an agency, fiduciary and trust capacity and do not assume risks associated with the entrusted assets. Customers receive and absorb expected residual returns and losses on the performance and operations of trust assets under our management. Accordingly, we have determined that we are generally not a primary beneficiary to any trust arrangements under management as our interests in the trust arrangements are insignificant in most cases. Fees on trust products that we offer for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2008 were ¥146.0 billion and ¥156.4 billion, respectively.

See Notes 15, 25 and 28 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for further details.

Other Types of VIEs

We are also a party to other types of VIEs including special purpose entities created to hold assets on our behalf as an intermediary.

We identified borrowers that were determined to be VIEs due to an insufficient level of equity. We have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of most of these borrowers because of our limited exposure as a lender to such borrowers. Such borrowers engage in diverse business activities of various sizes in industries such as manufacturing, distribution, construction and real estate development, independently from us.

F.    Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations

Prior to June 28, 2007, in accordance with customary Japanese practice, when a director or corporate auditor retired, a proposal to pay a retirement allowance was submitted at the annual ordinary general meeting of

shareholders for approval. The retirement allowance consisted of a one-time payment of a portion of the allowance paid at the time of retirement and periodic payments of the remaining amount for a prescribed number of years. After the shareholders’ approval was obtained, the retirement allowance for a director or corporate auditor was fixed by the board of directors or by consultation among the corporate auditors in accordance with our internal regulations and practice and generally reflected the position of the director or corporate auditor at the time of retirement, the length of his service as a director or corporate auditor and his contribution to our performance. MUFG did not set aside reserves for any retirement payments for directors and corporate auditors made under this practice. ThePursuant to a one-time shareholders’ approval in June 2007 for the retirement allowances to be paid to the directors and corporate auditors who were elected prior to that date at the time of their retirement, the aggregate amount of retirement allowance paid by MUFG and its subsidiaries during the fiscal year ended March 31, 20082010 to our directors (excluding outside directors), to corporate auditors (excluding outside auditors) and corporateto outside directors and auditors, who have retired from their respective positions held at MUFG or, if such directors and corporate auditors concurrently held positions at MUFG’s subsidiaries, who have retired from such positions, was ¥110¥44 million, ¥17 million and ¥59¥37 million, respectively.

MUFG has elected to discontinue its practice of paying a retirement allowance. MUFG, however, obtained a one-time shareholders’ approval on June 28, 2007 for the retirement allowances for the current directors and corporate auditors, other than those elected at shareholders’ meeting held after June 28, 2007. The current directors and corporate auditors other than those elected at shareholders’ meeting held after June 28, 2007 will be paid up to an aggregate amount of ¥287 million in the future at the time of retirement. MUFG set aside a reserve in the same amount for such retirement payments. In the future, MUFG does not plan to seek shareholder approvals for retirement allowances.

 

As part of our compensation structure, on June 28, 2007, our shareholders approved the creation of a stock-based compensation plan for our directors, corporate auditors and corporate auditors.certain of our officers.

C.    Board Practices

C.Board Practices

 

Our articles of incorporation provide for a board of directors of not more than twenty members and not more than seven corporate auditors. Our corporate officers are responsible for executing our business operations, and our directors oversee these officers and set our fundamental strategies.

 

We currently have seventeensixteen directors. Our board of directors has ultimate responsibility for the administration of our affairs. By resolution, our board of directors shall appoint, representativefrom the directors, from therepresentative directors who may represent us severally. Our board of directors shall appoint a president and may also appoint a chairman, deputy chairmen, deputy presidents, senior managing directors and managing directors from their members by resolution. Deputy presidents assist the president, and senior managing directors and managing directors assist the president and deputy presidents, if any, in the management of our day-by-day operations.

 

We currently have three outside directors as members of our board of directors. Under the Company Law, an outside director is defined as a person who has never been an executive director(gyomu shikko torishimariyaku), executive officer(shikkoyaku), manager(shihainin) or any other type of employee of the company or any of its subsidiaries prior to his or her appointment.

 

Under the Company Law, a resolution of the board of directors is required if any director wishes to engage in any business that is in competition with us or any transaction with us. Additionally, no director may vote on a proposal, arrangement or contract in which that director is deemed to be materiallyparticularly interested.

 

Neither the Company Law nor our articles of incorporation contain special provisions as to the borrowing power exercisable by a director, the retirement age of our directors and corporate auditors or a requirement of our directors and corporate auditors to hold any shares of our capital stock.

The Company Law requires a resolution of the board of directors for a company to determine the execution of important business strategies,businesses, to acquire or dispose of material assets, to borrow substantial amounts of money, to employ or discharge executive officersmanagers(shihainin) and other important employees, and to establish, change or abolish branch offices or other material corporate organizations, to float bonds, to establish internal control systems, and to exempt a director from liability to the company in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

 

We currently have five corporate auditors, including three outside corporate auditors (as defined below).auditors. An outside corporate auditor is defined under the Company Law as a person who has not served as a director, account assistant, executive officer(shikkoyaku), manager(shihainin) or any other type of employee of the company or any of its subsidiaries prior to his or her appointment.

 

Our corporate auditors, who are not required to be certified public accountants, have various statutory duties, including principally:

 

the examination of the financial statements, business reports, proposals and other documents which our board of directors prepares and submits to a general meeting of shareholders;

Ÿ

the examination of the financial statements, business reports, proposals and other documents which our board of directors prepares and submits to a general meeting of shareholders;

 

the examination of our directors’ administration of our affairs; and

Ÿ

the examination of our directors’ administration of our affairs; and

 

Ÿ

the preparation and submission of a report on their examination to a general meeting of shareholders.

the preparation and submission of a report on their examination to a general meeting of shareholders.

Our corporate auditors are obligated to attend meetings of our board of directors, and to make statements at the meetings if they deem necessary, although they are not entitled to vote at the meetings. Our corporate auditors comprise the board of corporate auditors, which determines matters relating to the performance of audits. The Company Law provides that a company that has or is required to have a board of corporate auditors must have three or more corporate auditors, and at least half of the corporate auditors must be outside corporate auditors. In a company that has or is required to have a board of corporate auditors, one or more of the corporate auditors must be designated by the board of corporate auditors to serve on a full-time basis.

 

Under the Company Law and our articles of incorporation, we may exempt, by resolution of the board of directors, our directors and corporate auditors from liabilities to the company arising in connection with their failure to execute their duties without gross negligence, within the limits stipulated by applicable laws and regulations. In addition, we have entered into a liability limitation agreement with each outside director and outside corporate auditor which limits the maximum amount of their liability to the company arising in connection with a failure to execute their duties without gross negligence to the greater of either ¥10 million or the aggregate sum of the amounts prescribed in paragraph 1 of Article 425 of the Company Law and ArticleArticles 113 and 114 of the Company Law Enforcement Regulations.

 

The Company Law permits two types of governance systems for large companies, including MUFG. The first system is for companies with audit, nomination and compensation committees, and the other is for companies with corporate auditors. We have elected to adopt a corporate governance system based on corporate auditors.

 

Under the Company Law, if a company has corporate auditors, the company is not obligated to have any outside directors or to have any audit, nomination andor compensation committees. Although we have adopted a board of corporate auditors, we have three outside directors as part of our efforts to further enhance corporate governance. In an effort to further enhance our corporate governance, we have also voluntarily established ouran internal audit and compliance committee and a nomination and compensation committee to support our board of directors.

 

Internal Audit and Compliance Committee.    The internal audit and compliance committee, a majority of which is comprised of outside directors and specialists, deliberates important matters relating to internal audits, internal control of financial information, financial audits, compliance, corporate risk management, and other internal control systems. This committee makes reports and proposals to the board of directors about important matters for deliberation and necessary improvement measures. We aim to enhance the effectiveness of internal

audit functions by utilizing the external view points provided by the internal audit and compliance committee members. The chairman of the internal audit and compliance committee is Akio Harada,Ryuji Araki, who is an outside director. The other members of this committee are Iwao Okijima ,Kazuhiro Watanabe, an outside director, Kouji Tajika, a certified public accountant, Yoshinari Tsutsumi, an attorney-at-law, and Haruya Uehara,Kinya Okauchi, a deputy chairman and the chief audit officer. The internal audit and compliance committee met fourteentwelve times between April 20072009 and March 2008.2010.

 

Nomination andCompensation Committee.    The nomination and compensation committee, was established through the integration of the nomination committee and the compensation committee on June 27, 2008. Prior to the integration, the nomination committee, a majority of which wasis comprised of outside directors, deliberateddeliberates matters relating to the appointment and dismissal of our directors and the directors of our subsidiaries. The nomination committee met five times between April 2007 and March 2008.

Summary of Significant Differencesthe significant differences in Corporate Governance Practicescorporate governance practices between MUFG and US Companies Listedcompanies listed on the New York Stock Exchange,

The New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE, allows NYSE-listed companies that are foreign private issuers, such as MUFG, with certain exceptions, to follow home-country practices in lieu of the corporate governance practices followed by US companies pursuant to the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual. The following sections summarize the significant differences between MUFG’s corporate governance practices see “—A. Directors and those followed by US listed companies under the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual.

1. A NYSE-listed US company must have a majority of directors that meet the independence requirements under Section 303A of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual.

As of August 31 2008, MUFG has three outside directors as members of its board of directors. For companies employing the corporate auditor system such as MUFG, the task of overseeing the management of the company is assigned to the corporate auditors as well as the board of directors. At least half of the corporate auditors are required to be an “outside corporate auditor” as defined below.

Under the Company Law, an “outside director” is defined as a director who has not served as an executive director, executive officer, manager or any other type of employee of the relevant company or any of its subsidiaries prior to his or her appointment.

For MUFGSenior Management” and other large Japanese companies employing a corporate governance system based on a board of corporate auditors, the Company Law has no independence or similar requirement with respect to directors.

2. A NYSE-listed US company must have an audit committee composed entirely of independent directors.

Under the Company Law, MUFG and other Japanese companies (excluding companies with committees established pursuant to the Company Law) are not obliged to establish an audit committee.

As discussed above, MUFG employs a corporate auditor system as stipulated by the Company Law. Accordingly, MUFG has established a board of corporate auditors consisting of corporate auditors with a“Item 16.G. Corporate Governance.”

statutory duty to audit MUFG director’s performance of their professional duties and to review and report on the manner and results of the audit of MUFG’s financial statements, for the benefit of the MUFG’s shareholders.

The Company Law requires companies employing the corporate auditor system, including MUFG, to elect at least three corporate auditors through a resolution adopted at a general meeting of shareholders. At least half of the corporate auditors must be an “outside corporate auditor,” which is defined as a corporate auditor who has not served as a director, account assistant, executive officer, manager, or any other employee of the relevant company or any of its subsidiaries.

As of August 31 2008, MUFG had five corporate auditors, three of whom are outside corporate auditors.

3. A NYSE-listed US company must have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors.

Under the Company Law, MUFG and other Japanese companies (excluding companies with committees established pursuant to the Company Law) are not obliged to establish a compensation committee.

The maximum aggregate amounts of compensation for MUFG’s directors and corporate auditors are approved at MUFG’s general meeting of shareholders. The amount and allocation of compensation for each MUFG director are then proposed to, and voted upon by, the board of directors. The amount and allocation of compensation for each MUFG corporate auditor are determined through discussions and agreement among MUFG’s corporate auditors.

4. A NYSE-listed US company must have a nominating or corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors.

Under the Company Law, MUFG and other Japanese companies (excluding companies with committees established pursuant to the Company Law) are not obliged to establish a nominating or corporate governance committee.

MUFG’s directors are elected or dismissed at MUFG’s general meeting of shareholders in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Company Law and MUFG’s articles of incorporation. MUFG’s corporate auditors are also elected or dismissed at MUFG’s general meeting of shareholders. A proposal by MUFG’s board of directors to elect a corporate auditor needs the consent of its board of corporate auditors. MUFG’s board of corporate auditors is empowered to adopt a resolution requesting that MUFG’s directors submit a proposal for election of a corporate auditor to MUFG’s general meeting of shareholders.

The corporate auditors have the right to state their opinion concerning the election or dismissal of a corporate auditor at MUFG’s general meeting of shareholders.

5. A NYSE-listed US company must obtain shareholder approval with respect to any equity compensation plan.

Under the Company Law, a public company seeking to issue “stock acquisition rights” (granting the holder thereof the right to acquire from the issuer shares of its stock at a prescribed price) must obtain the approval of its board of directors, not its shareholders.

When stock acquisition rights are issued under terms and conditions that are especially favorable to the recipients thereof, such issuance must be approved by a “special resolution” of a general meeting of shareholders. Under MUFG’s articles of incorporation, the quorum for a special resolution is at least one-third of the total outstanding voting rights, and the approval of at least two-thirds of the voting rights represented at the relevant general meeting of shareholders of MUFG is required to pass a special resolution.

6. A NYSE-listed US company must adopt and disclose Corporate Governance Guidelines and a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and it must also disclose any exemptions granted to directors or executives.

Under the Company Law, the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law of Japan and applicable stock exchange rules, Japanese companies, including MUFG, are not obliged to adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines and a code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers and employees. In order to further enhance its disclosure, MUFG has decided to disclose the details of its corporate governance in its Annual Securities Report and related disclosure reports.

MUFG has also adopted a code of ethics, compliance rules and a compliance manual which it believes are compliant with the requirements for a Code of Ethics as set forth under Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. MUFG has disclosed the relevant sections of its code of ethics, compliance rules and compliance manual as an exhibit to this Annual Report. No exemptions from MUFG’s code of ethics, compliance rules and compliance manual have been granted to its directors or executives during that period.

7. A NYSE-listed US company must hold regularly scheduled executive sessions where participants are limited to non-management directors.

Under the Company Law, Japanese corporations are not obliged to hold executive sessions where participants are limited to non-management directors. Such executive sessions are also not required under MUFG’s internal corporate governance rules.

B.B.    Related Party Transactions

In May 2010, pursuant to definitive agreements entered into in March 2010, we and Morgan Stanley formed two joint ventures in Japan by contributing and integrating the investment banking and securities businesses conducted by our respective securities subsidiaries in Japan. We also made a cash payment of ¥26 billion to Morgan Stanley at closing of the transaction (subject to certain post-closing cash adjustments). We currently hold an approximately 20% interest (on a fully diluted basis) in Morgan Stanley, and a member of our senior management currently serves on the board of directors of Morgan Stanley. See “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business Overview” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Recent Developments.”

 

We and our banking subsidiaries had, and expect to have in the future, banking transactions and other transactions in the ordinary course of business with our related parties. Although for the fiscal year ended

March 31, 2008,2010, such transactions included, but were not limited to, call money, loans, electronic data processing, leases and management of properties, those transactions were immaterial and were made at prevailing market rates, terms and conditions and do not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.

 

None of our directors or corporate auditors, and none of the close members of their respective families, has had any transactions or has any presently proposed transactions that are material or any transactions that are unusual in their nature or conditions, involving goods, services or tangible or intangible assets, to which we were, are or will be a party.

 

No loans have been made to our directors or corporate auditors other than in the normal course of business, on normal commercial terms and conditions, involving the normal risk of collectibility, and presenting normal features. In addition, no loans have been made to our directors or executive officers or corporate auditors other than as permitted under Section 13(k) of the US Securities Exchange Act and Rule 13k-1 promulgated thereunder.

 

No family relationship exists among any of our directors or corporate auditors. No arrangement or understanding exists between any of our directors or corporate auditors and any other person pursuant to which any director or corporate auditor was elected to their position at MUFG.

 

As part of our compensation structure, we have allottedgranted stock acquisition rights to our directors and corporate auditors. For a detailed discussion of the stock acquisition rights, see “Item 6.B. Directors, Senior Management and Employees—Compensation.”

The information required by this item is set forth in our consolidated financial statements starting on page F-1 of this Annual Report and in “Selected Statistical Data” starting on page A-1 of this Annual Report.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we are involved in various litigation matters. Although the final resolution of any such matters could have a material effect on our consolidated operating results for a particular reporting period, based on our current knowledge and consultation with legal counsel, we believe the current litigation matters, when ultimately determined, will not materially affect our results of operations or financial position.

 

Distributions

 

Our board of directors submits a recommendation for an annuala year-end dividend for our shareholders’ approval at the ordinary general meeting of shareholders customarily held in June of each year. The annualyear-end dividend is usually distributed immediately following shareholders’ approval to holders of record at the end of the preceding fiscal year. In addition to annualyear-end dividends, we may make cash distributions by way of interim dividends to shareholders of record as of September 30 of each year as distribution of surplus by resolution of our board of directors. On June 27, 2008,29, 2010, we paid year-end dividends in the amount of ¥7¥6 per share of common stock for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.2010.

 

See “Item 10.B. Memorandum and Articles of Association” for additional information on our dividends policy.

 

Under the Japanese foreign exchange regulations currently in effect, dividends paid on shares held by non-residents of Japan may be converted into any foreign currency and repatriated abroad. Under the terms of the deposit agreement pursuant to which ADSs are issued, the depositary is required, to the extent that in its judgment it can convert Japanese yen on a reasonable basis into US dollars and transfer the resulting US dollars to the United States, to convert all cash dividends that it receives in respect of deposited shares into US dollars and to distribute the amount received, after deduction of any applicable withholding taxes, to the holders of ADSs. See “Item 10.D. Additional Information—Exchange Controls—Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Law.”

We summarize below the material provisions of our articlesArticles of incorporation,Incorporation, our share handling regulations and the Company Law (Law No. 86 of 2005, also known as the Companies Act) as they relate to a type of joint stock company known askabushiki kaisha, within which we fall. Because it is a summary, this discussion should be read together with our articlesArticles of incorporationIncorporation and share handling regulations, which have been filed as exhibits to this Annual Report.

 

General

 

A joint stock company is a legal entity incorporated under the Company Law. The investment and rights of the shareholders of a joint stock company are represented by shares of stock in the company and shareholders’ liability is limited to the amount of the subscription for the shares.

 

OurAs of June 29, 2010, our authorized common share capital as of June 27, 2008 was comprised of 33,000,000,000 shares of common stock with no par value. Effective as of September 30, 2007, each of our ordinary and preferred shares were split into 1,000 shares of the same class of securities, and our authorized number of common shares was increased accordingly.

 

As of March 31, 2008,2010, a total of 10,861,643,79014,148,414,920 shares of common stock (including 503,153,83521,069,229 shares of common stock held by us and our consolidated subsidiaries as treasury stock) had been issued. Each of the shares issued and outstanding was fully paid and non-assessable.

As of June 27, 2008,29, 2010, we were authorized to issue 1,076,901,000920,001,000 shares of preferred stock, including 120,000,000 shares of class 3 preferred shares,stock, 400,000,000 shares of each of the first to fourth series of class 5 preferred sharesstock (provided the aggregate number of shares authorized to be issued with respect to the four series of class 5 preferred sharesstock does not exceed 400,000,000 shares), 200,000,000 shares of each of the first to fourth series of class 6 preferred sharesstock (provided the aggregate number of shares authorized to be issued with respect to the four series of class 6 preferred sharesstock does not exceed

200,000,000 shares), 200,000,000 shares of each of the first to fourth series of class 7 preferred sharesstock (provided the aggregate number of shares authorized to be issued with respect to the four series of class 7 preferred sharesstock does not exceed 200,000,000 shares), 27,000,000 class 8 preferredand 1,000 shares 1,000of class 11 preferred shares and 129,900,000 class 12 preferred shares.stock. As of March 31, 2008,2010, we had 100,000,000 shares of class 3 preferred stock, 156,000,000 shares 17,700,000of first series class 85 preferred stock, and 1,000 shares 1,000of class 11 preferred shares and 33,700,000 class 12 preferred sharesstock issued and outstanding. The outstanding shares of the first series of class 3 preferred stock were redeemed on April 1, 2010.

We may issue shares from our authorized but unissued share capital following a resolution to that effect by our board of directors. An increase in our authorized share capital is only possible by amendment of our articlesArticles of incorporation,Incorporation, which generally requires shareholders’ special approval.

 

Under the Company Law and our articles of incorporation, shares are transferable by delivery of share certificates. Our articles of incorporation also provide that we will not issue share certificates for shares which do not constitute a whole unit, where a whole unit is comprised of 100 shares. In order to assert shareholders’shareholder rights against us, a shareholder must have its name and address registered on our register of shareholders, in accordance with the Company Law and our share handling regulations. The registered holder of deposited shares underlying the ADSs is the depositary for the ADSs, or its nominee. Accordingly, holders of ADSs will not be able to assert shareholders’shareholder rights other than as provided in the agreement among us, the depositary and the holders of the ADSs.

A holder of shares may choose, at its discretion, to participate in the central clearing system for share certificates under the Law Concerning Central Securities Depository and Book-Entry Transfer of Stock Certificates and Other Securities of Japan. Participating shareholders must deposit certificates representing the shares to be included in this clearing system with the Japan Securities Depository Center, Inc. If a holder is not a participating institution in the Japan Securities Depository Center, it must participate through a participating institution, such as a financial instruments firm or bank having a clearing account with the Japan Securities Depository Center. All shares deposited with the Japan Securities Depository Center will be registered in the name of the Japan Securities Depository Center on our register of shareholders. Each participating shareholder will in turn be registered on our register of beneficial shareholders and be treated in the same way as shareholders registered on our register of shareholders. Delivery of share certificates is not required to transfer deposited shares. Entry of the share transfer in the books maintained by the Japan Securities Depository Center for participating institutions, or in the books maintained by a participating institution for its customers, has the same effect as delivery of share certificates. This central clearing system is intended to reduce paperwork required in connection with transfers of shares. Beneficial owners may at any time withdraw their shares from deposit and receive share certificates.

 

A law to establish a new central clearing system for shares of listed companies and to eliminate the issuance and use of certificates for such shares was promulgated in June 2004 and the relevant part of the law will come into effect within five years of the date of the promulgation. On thebecame effective date, which is currently expected to beon January 5, 2009,2009. Under the “Law Concerning Book-Entry Transfer of Corporate Bonds, Stocks etc.,” a new central clearing system will bewas established and the shares of all Japanese companies listed on any Japanese stock exchange will beare now subject to the new central clearing system. On the same day,As of January 5, 2009, we will beare deemed to becomebe a company which shall notno longer issue share certificates for itsour shares, and all existing share certificates for such shares willhave become automatically null and void, without us being required to collect those share certificates from shareholders. The transfer of such shares will beis effected through entry in the books maintained under the new central clearing system. Only shares that were deposited with the Japan Securities Depository Center will beas of January 5, 2009 are immediately transferable under the new central clearing system. Upon the effective date, any requirement, reference and discussion relating to share certificates included in this section “Common Stock” will not be applicable.

Dividends

 

Dividends are distributed in proportion to the number of shares owned by each shareholder on the record date for the dividend. Dividends for each financial period may be distributed following shareholders’ approval at a general meeting of shareholders.

 

Payment of dividends on common stock is subject to the preferential dividend rights of holders of preferred stock.

 

Under the Banking Law and our articlesArticles of incorporation,Incorporation, our financial accounts are closed on March 31 of each year, and dividends, if any, are paid to shareholders of record as of March 31 following shareholders’ approval at a general meeting of shareholders. In addition to year-end dividends, our board of directors may by resolution declare an interim cash dividend to shareholders of record as of September 30 of each year. Under the Company Law, distribution of dividends will take the form of distribution of surplus (as defined below). We will be permitted to make distributions of surplus to our shareholders any number of times per fiscal year pursuant to resolutions of our general meetings of shareholders, subject to certain limitations described below. Distributions of surplus are in principle required to be authorized by a resolution of a general meeting of shareholders. Distributions of surplus would, however, be permitted to be made pursuant to a resolution of our board of directors if:

 

 (a) our articlesArticles of incorporationIncorporation so provide (our articlesArticles of incorporationIncorporation currently contain no such provisions);

 

 (b) the normal term of office of our directors is one year; and

 

 (c) certain conditions concerning our non-consolidated annual financial statements and certain documents for the latest fiscal year as required by an ordinance of the Ministry of Justice are satisfied.

 

In an exception to the above rule, even if the requirements described in (a) through (c) are not met, we are permitted to make distributions of surplus in cash to our shareholders by resolutions of the board of directors once per fiscal year as mentioned above concerning interim cash dividend.

 

Under the Company Law, distributions of surplus may be made in cash or in kind in proportion to the number of shares of common stock held by each shareholder. A resolution of a general meeting of shareholders

or our board of directors authorizing a distribution of surplus must specify the kind and aggregate book value of the assets to be distributed, the manner of allocation of such assets to shareholders, and the effective date of the distribution. If a distribution of surplus is to be made in kind, we may, pursuant to a resolution of a general meeting of shareholders or (as the case may be) our board of directors, grant to our shareholders the right to require us to make such distribution in cash instead of in kind. If no such right is granted to shareholders, the relevant distribution of surplus must be approved by a special resolution of a general meeting of shareholders (see the description of a “special resolution” in “—Voting Rights”).

 

Under the Company Law, we may make distribution of surplus to the extent that the aggregate book value of the assets to be distributed to shareholders does not exceed the distributable amount (as defined below) as of the effective date of such distribution of surplus. The amount of surplus (the “surplus”) at any given time shall be the amount of our assets and the book value of our treasury stock after subtracting the amounts of items (1) through (5) below as they appear on our non-consolidated balance sheet as of the end of our last fiscal year, and after reflecting the changes in our surplus after the end of our last fiscal year, by adding the amounts of items (6), (7) and (8) below and/or subtracting the amounts of items (9), (10) and (11) below:

 

 (1) our liabilities;

 

 (2) our stated capital;

 

 (3) our additional paid-in capital;

 

 (4) our accumulated legal reserve;

 (5) other amounts as are set out in an ordinance of the Ministry of Justice;

 

 (6) (if we transferred our treasury stock after the end of the last fiscal year) the transfer price of our treasury stock after subtracting the book value thereof;

 

 (7) (if we decreased our stated capital after the end of the last fiscal year) the amount of decrease in our stated capital (excluding the amount transferred to additional paid-in capital or legal reserve);

 

 (8) (if we decreased our additional paid-in capital or legal reserve after the end of the last fiscal year) the amount of decrease in our additional paid-in capital or legal reserve (excluding the amount transferred to stated capital);

 

 (9) (if we cancelled our treasury stock after the end of the last fiscal year) the book value of the cancelled treasury stock;

 

 (10) (if we distributed surplus to shareholders after the end of the last fiscal year) the amount of the assets distributed to shareholders by way of such distribution of surplus; and

 

 (11) other amounts as are set out in an ordinance of the Ministry of Justice.

 

A distributable amount (the “distributable amount”) at any given time shall be the aggregate amount of (a) the surplus, (b) the amount of profit as recorded for the period after the end of our last fiscal year until the date of an extraordinary settlement of account (if any) as is set out in an ordinance of the Ministry of Justice and (c) the transfer price of our treasury stock in the same period, after subtracting the amounts of the following items:

 

 (1) the book value of our treasury stock;

 

 (2) (if we transferred our treasury stock after the end of the last fiscal year) the transfer price of our treasury stock;

 

 (3) the losses recorded for the period after the end of our last fiscal year until the date of an extraordinary settlement of account (if any) as set out in an ordinance of the Ministry of Justice; and

 

 (4) other amounts as set out in an ordinance of the Ministry of Justice.

 

In Japan, the “ex-dividend” date and the record date for any dividends precede the date of determination of the amount of the dividend to be paid. The market price of shares generally becomes ex-dividend on the third

business day prior to the record date. Under our articlesArticles of incorporation,Incorporation, we are not obligated to pay any dividends which are left unclaimed for a period of five years after the date on which they first became payable.

 

Capital and Reserves

 

Under the Company Law, we may reduce our additional paid-in capital or legal reserve (without limitation as to the amount of such reduction) as mentioned previously, generally by resolution of a general meeting of shareholders and, if so resolved in the same resolution, may account for the whole or any part of the amount of such reduction as stated capital. We may also reduce our stated capital generally by special resolution of a general meeting of shareholdershareholders and, if so resolved in the same resolution, such reduction may account for the whole or any part of the amount of such reduction as additional paid-in capital or legal reserve. Conversely, we may reduce our surplus and increase either (i) stated capital or (ii) additional paid-in capital and/or legal reserve by the same amount, in either case by resolution of a general meeting of shareholders.

 

Stock Splits

 

Stock splits of our outstanding stock may be effected at any time by resolution of the board of directors. When a stock split is to be effected, we may increase the authorized share capital to cover the number of shares to be increased by the stock split by amending our articlesArticles of incorporationIncorporation by resolution of the board of directors

without approval by special resolution of the general meeting of shareholders, unless more than one class of stock is issued and outstanding. In general, shareholders will not be required to exchange stock certificates for new stock certificates, but certificates representing the additional stock resulting from the stock split will be issued to shareholders. We must give public notice of the stock split, specifying a record date at least two weeks prior to the record date.

 

We conducted a stock split pursuant to which each of theour shares of common and preferred sharesstock were split into 1,000 shares of the respective classes of securities, effective as of September 30, 2007. Our articlesArticles of incorporationIncorporation were amended to increase the authorized share capital to cover the number of shares increased by the stock split, which amendment became effective simultaneously with the effectiveness of the stock split.

 

Unit Share (tan-gen kabu) System

 

We adopt the unit share system, where 100 shares of ordinary andeither common or preferred sharesstock shall each constitute a unit, as the amendment of our articlesArticles of incorporationIncorporation to provide for such system has been approved at the shareholders’ meetings on June 27 and 28, 2007. Our articles of incorporation provide that we do not, as a general rule, issue certificates representing a number of shares less than a unit. Consequently, any fraction of a unit for which no share certificate is issued will not be transferable.

 

Under the unit share system, each unit of shares is entitled to one voting right. A holder of less than one unit of shares has no voting right. Our articlesArticles of incorporationIncorporation provide that the holders of shares constituting less than a full unit will not have shareholder rights except for those specified in the Company Law or an ordinance of the Ministry of Justice, including rights (i) to receive dividends, (ii) to receive cash or other assets in case of consolidation or split of shares, stock-for-stock exchange or stock-for-stock transfer, corporate split or merger or (iii) to be allotted rights to subscribe for free for new shares and stock acquisition rights when such rights are granted to shareholders. Shareholders may require us to purchase shares constituting less than a unit at the current market price. In addition, holders of shares constituting less than a unit may require us to sell them such number of shares, which, when combined with the number of shares already held by such holder, shall constitute a whole unit of share; provided that we will be obliged to comply with such request only when we own a sufficient number of shares to accommodate the desired sale and purchase. The board of directors may reduce the number of shares constituting a unit or cease to use the unit share system by amendments to the articlesArticles of incorporationIncorporation without shareholders’ approval even though amendments to the articlesArticles of incorporationIncorporation generally require a special resolution of the general meeting of shareholders.

 

General Meeting of Shareholders

 

The ordinary general meeting of our shareholders is usually held in June of each year in Tokyo. In addition, we may hold an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders whenever necessary by giving at least two weeks’

advance notice to shareholders who are entitled to vote at the relevant general meeting of shareholders. The record date for ordinary general meetings of our shareholders is March 31.

 

Any shareholder holding at least 300 voting rights or 1% of the total number of voting rights for six consecutive months or longer may propose a matter to be considered at a general meeting of shareholders by submitting a written request to a director at least eight weeks prior to the date of the meeting. The number of minimum voting rights, minimum percentage and time period necessary for exercising the minority shareholdersshareholder rights described above may be decreased or shortened if our articlesArticles of incorporationIncorporation so provide. Our articlesArticles of incorporationIncorporation currently contain no such provisions.

 

Voting Rights

 

A holder of shares of our common stock is generally entitled to one voting right for each unit of common sharesstock held. The following shares of common shares identified belowstock are not entitled to voting rights even when such shares

Record Dates

 

As stated above, March 31 is the record date for the payment of annual dividends, if any, and the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at ordinary general meetings of our shareholders. September 30 is the record date for the payment of interim dividends, if any. In addition, by a resolution of our board of directors and after giving at least two weeks’ prior public notice, we may at any time set a record date in order to determine the shareholders who are entitled to the rights pertaining to our shares.

 

Repurchase of Our Shares

 

We may repurchase our own shares:

 

through the Tokyo Stock Exchange or other stock exchanges on which our shares are listed, if authorized by a resolution of a general meeting of shareholders or our board of directors;

by way of a tender offer, if authorized by a resolution of a general meeting of shareholders or our board of directors;

Ÿ

through the Tokyo Stock Exchange or other stock exchanges on which our shares are listed, if authorized by a resolution of a general meeting of shareholders or our board of directors;

 

from a specific party, if authorized by a special resolution of a general meeting of shareholders and we give notice thereof to shareholders prior to such general meeting, in general;

Ÿ

by way of a tender offer, if authorized by a resolution of a general meeting of shareholders or our board of directors;

 

from all shareholders of a specific class of shares offering to sell their shares, if authorized by a resolution of a general meeting of shareholders or our board of directors and we give a public notice or notice thereof to all of the shareholders (if we repurchase any class of preferred shares, notices to all shareholders of the relevant class of preferred shares.); or

Ÿ

from a specific party, if authorized by a special resolution of a general meeting of shareholders and we give notice thereof to shareholders prior to such general meeting, in general;

 

Ÿ

from all shareholders of a specific class of shares offering to sell their shares, if authorized by a resolution of a general meeting of shareholders or our board of directors and we give a public notice or notice thereof to all of the shareholders (if we repurchase any class of preferred stock, notices to all shareholders of the relevant class of preferred stock); or

Ÿ

from our subsidiaries, if authorized by a resolution of the board of directors.

 

When the repurchase is made by us from a specific party, as authorized by a special resolution of a general meeting of shareholders, any shareholder may make a demand to a director, five days or more prior to the relevant shareholders’ meeting, that we also repurchase the shares held by that shareholder. However, no such right will be available if the shares have a market price, and if the purchase price does not exceed the then market price calculated in a manner set forth in an ordinance of the Ministry of Justice.

 

Repurchase of our own shares described above must satisfy various specified requirements. In general, the same restrictions on the distributable amount as described in the seventh paragraph under “—Common Stock—Dividends.” are applicable to the repurchase of our own shares, so the total amount of the repurchase price may not exceed the distributable amount.

 

We may hold our own shares so repurchased without restrictions. In addition, we may cancel or dispose of our repurchased shares by a resolution of our board of directors. As of March 31, 2008,2010, we (excluding our subsidiaries) owned 500,889,485426,985 shares of treasury shares.stock.

American Depositary Shares

 

The Bank of New York Mellon will issue the American depositary receipts, or ADRs. Each ADR will represent ownership interests in American depositary shares, or ADSs. As a result of the 1,000-for-one stock split that became effective on September 30, 2007, each ADS represents one share of our common stock. Each ADS is held by The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., or BTMU, acting as custodian, at its principal office in Tokyo, on behalf of The Bank of New York Mellon, acting as depositary. Each ADS will also represent securities, cash or other property deposited with The Bank of New York Mellon but not distributed to ADS holders. The Bank of New York Mellon’s corporate trust office is located at 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York 10286 and its principal executive office is located at One Wall Street, New York, New York 10286. For a detailed discussion of the stock split of our common stock, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Recent Developments.”

 

You may hold ADSs either directly or indirectly through your broker or other financial institution. If you hold ADSs directly, you are an ADS holder. This description assumes you hold your ADSs directly. If you hold the ADSs indirectly, you must rely on the procedures of your broker or other financial institution to assert the rights of ADS holders described in this section. You should consult with your broker or financial institution to find out what those procedures are.

 

The Bank of New York Mellon will actually be the registered holder of the common stock, so you will have to rely on it to exercise your rights as a shareholder. Our obligations and the obligations of The Bank of New York Mellon are set out in a deposit agreement among us, The Bank of New York Mellon and you, as an ADS holder. The deposit agreement and the ADSs are governed by New York law.

 

The following is a summary of the material terms of the deposit agreement. Because it is a summary, it does not contain all the information that may be important to you. For more complete information, you should read the entire deposit agreement and the form of ADR.

 

Share Dividends and Other Distributions

 

The Bank of New York Mellon has agreed to pay to you the cash dividends or other distributions it or the custodian receives on shares of common stock or other deposited securities, after deducting its fees and expenses. You will receive these distributions in proportion to the number of shares your ADSs represent.

 

Cash.    The Bank of New York Mellon will convert any cash dividend or other cash distribution we pay on our common stock into US dollars, if it can do so on a reasonable basis and can transfer the US dollars to the United States. If that is not possible or if any approval from the Japanese government is needed and cannot be obtained, the deposit agreement allows The Bank of New York Mellon to distribute the Japanese yen only to

those ADS holders to whom it is possible to do so. The Bank of New York Mellon will hold the Japanese yen it cannot convert for the account of the ADS holders who have not been paid. It will not invest the Japanese yen and it will not be liable for any interest.

Before making a distribution, any withholding taxes that must be paid under Japanese law will be deducted. See “—Taxation—Japanese Taxation.” The Bank of New York Mellon will distribute only whole US dollars and cents and will round fractional cents to the nearest whole cent. If the relevant exchange rates fluctuate during a time when The Bank of New York Mellon cannot convert the Japanese currency, you may lose some or all of the value of the distribution.

 

Shares.    The Bank of New York Mellon may distribute new ADSs representing any shares we may distribute as a dividend or free distribution, if we furnish The Bank of New York Mellon promptly with satisfactory evidence that it is legal to do so. The Bank of New York Mellon will only distribute whole ADSs. It will sell shares which would require it to issue a fractional ADS and distribute the net proceeds in the same way as it distributes cash dividends. If The Bank of New York Mellon does not distribute additional ADSs, each ADS will also represent the new shares.

 

Rights to receive additional shares.    If we offer holders of our common stock any rights to subscribe for additional shares of common stock or any other rights, The Bank of New York Mellon may, after consultation with us, make those rights available to you. We must first instruct The Bank of New York Mellon to do so and furnish it with satisfactory evidence that it is legal to do so. If we do not furnish this evidence and/or do not give these instructions, and The Bank of New York Mellon decides that it is practical to sell the rights, The Bank of New York Mellon will sell the rights and distribute the proceeds in the same way as it distributes cash dividends. The Bank of New York Mellon may allow rights that are not distributed or sold to lapse. In that case, you will receive no value for them.

 

If The Bank of New York Mellon makes rights available to you, upon instruction from you it will exercise the rights and purchase the shares on your behalf. The Bank of New York Mellon will then deposit the shares and issue ADSs to you. It will only exercise the rights if you pay it the exercise price and any other charges the rights require you to pay.

 

US securities laws may restrict the sale, deposit, cancellation and transfer of the ADSs issued after the exercise of the rights. For example, you may not be able to trade the ADSs freely in the United States. In this case, The Bank of New York Mellon may issue the ADSs under a separate restricted deposit agreement which will contain the same provisions as the deposit agreement, except for changes needed to put the restrictions in place. The Bank of New York Mellon will not offer you rights unless those rights and the securities to which the rights relate are either exempt from registration or have been registered under the US Securities Act with respect to a distribution to you. We will have no obligation to register under the Securities Act those rights or the securities to which they relate.

 

Other distributions.    The Bank of New York Mellon will send to you anything else we distribute on deposited securities by any means it thinks is legal, fair and practical. If it cannot make the distribution in that way, The Bank of New York Mellon has a choice. It may decide to sell what we distributed and distribute the net proceeds, in the same way as it does with cash. Or, it may decide to hold what we distributed, in which case ADSs will also represent the newly distributed property.

 

The Bank of New York Mellon is not responsible if it decides that it is unlawful or impractical to make a distribution available to any ADS holders. We have no obligation to register ADSs, shares, rights or other securities under the Securities Act. We also have no obligation to take any other action to permit the distribution of ADSs, shares, rights or anything else to ADS holders. This means that you may not receive the distributions we make on our shares or any value for them if it is illegal or impractical for us or The Bank of New York Mellon to make them available to you.

Deposit, Withdrawal and Cancellation

 

The Bank of New York Mellon will issue ADSs if you or your broker deposits shares or evidence of rights to receive shares with the custodian. Upon payment of its fees and expenses and of any taxes or charges, such as

stamp taxes or stock transfer taxes or fees, The Bank of New York Mellon will register the appropriate number of ADSs in the names you request and will deliver the ADSs at its corporate trust office to the persons you request.

 

In certain circumstances, subject to the provisions of the deposit agreement, The Bank of New York Mellon may issue ADSs before the deposit of the underlying shares. This is called a pre-release of ADSs. A pre-release is closed out as soon as the underlying shares are delivered to the depositary. The depositary may receive ADSs instead of the shares to close out a pre-release. The depositary may pre-release ADSs only on the following conditions:

 

Before or at the time of the pre-release, the person to whom the pre-release is made must represent to the depositary in writing that it or its customer, as the case may be, owns the shares to be deposited;

Ÿ

Before or at the time of the pre-release, the person to whom the pre-release is made must represent to the depositary in writing that it or its customer, as the case may be, owns the shares to be deposited;

 

The pre-release must be fully collateralized with cash or collateral that the depositary considers appropriate;

Ÿ

The pre-release must be fully collateralized with cash or collateral that the depositary considers appropriate; and

 

The depositary must be able to close out the pre-release on not more than five business days’ notice.

Ÿ

The depositary must be able to close out the pre-release on not more than five business days’ notice.

 

The pre-release will be subject to whatever indemnities and credit regulations that the depositary considers appropriate. In addition, the depositary will limit the number of ADSs that may be outstanding at any time as a result of a pre-release.

 

You may turn in your ADSs at the Corporate Trust Office of The Bank of New York Mellon’s office. Upon payment of its fees and expenses and of any taxes or charges, such as stamp taxes or stock transfer taxes or fees, The Bank of New York Mellon will deliver (1) the underlying shares to an account designated by you and (2) any other deposited securities underlying the ADS at the office of the custodian. Or, at your request, risk and expense, The Bank of New York Mellon will deliver the deposited securities at its Corporate Trust Office.

 

As a result of the stock split and the adoption of the unit share system on September 30, 2007, the ADSs may only be presented for cancellation and release of the underlying shares of common stock or other deposited securities in multiples of 100 ADSs. Holders of ADRs evidencing less than 100 ADSs are not be entitled to delivery of any underlying shares or other deposited securities unless ADRs, together with other ADRs presented by the same holder at the same time, represent in the aggregate at least 100 ADSs. If any ADSs are surrendered but not cancelled pursuant to the preceding sentence, The Bank of New York Mellon will execute and deliver an ADR or ADRs evidencing the balance of ADSs not so cancelled to the person or persons surrendering the same.

 

Voting Rights

 

If you are an ADS holder on a record date fixed by The Bank of New York Mellon, you may instruct The Bank of New York Mellon to vote the shares underlying your ADSs at a meeting of our shareholders in accordance with the procedures set forth in the deposit agreement.

 

The Bank of New York Mellon will notify you of the upcoming meeting and arrange to deliver our voting materials to you. The notice shall contain (a) such information as is contained in such notice of meeting, (b) a statement that as of the close of business on a specified record date you will be entitled, subject to any applicable provision of Japanese law and our Articles of Incorporation, to instruct The Bank of New York Mellon as to the exercise of the voting rights, if any, pertaining to the amount of shares or other deposited securities represented by your ADSs, and (c) a brief statement as to the manner in which such instructions may be given, including an express indication that instructions may be given to The Bank of New York Mellon to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by us. Upon your written request, received on or before the date established by The Bank of New York Mellon for such purpose, The Bank of New York Mellon shall endeavor in so far as practicable to

vote or cause to be voted the amount of shares or other deposited securities represented by your ADSs in accordance with the instructions set forth in your request. So long as Japanese law provides that votes may only be cast with respect to one or more whole shares or other deposited securities, The Bank of New York Mellon will aggregate voting instructions to the extent such instructions are the same and vote such whole shares or other

deposited securities in accordance with your instructions. If, after aggregation of all instructions to vote received by The Bank of New York Mellon, any portion of the aggregated instructions constitutes instructions with respect to less than a whole share or other deposited securities, The Bank of New York Mellon will not vote or cause to be voted the shares or other deposited securities to which such portion of the instructions apply. The Bank of New York Mellon will not vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote that attaches to the shares or other deposited securities, other than in accordance with the instructions of the ADS holders. If no instructions are received by The Bank of New York Mellon from you with respect to any of the deposited securities represented by your ADSs on or before the date established by The Bank of New York Mellon for such purpose, The Bank of New York Mellon shall deem you to have instructed The Bank of New York Mellon to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by us with respect to such deposited securities and The Bank of New York Mellon shall give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by us to vote such deposited securities, provided that no such instruction shall be given with respect to any matter as to which we inform The Bank of New York Mellon (and we have agreed to provide such information as promptly as practicable in writing) that (1) we do not wish such proxy given, (2) substantial opposition exists or (3) such matter materially and adversely affects the rights of holders of shares.

 

We cannot assure you that you will receive the voting materials in time to ensure that you can instruct The Bank of New York Mellon to vote your shares. In addition, The Bank of New York Mellon is not responsible for failing to carry out voting instructions or for the manner of carrying out voting instructions as long as it has acted in good faith. This means that you may not be able to exercise your right to vote and there may be nothing you can do if your shares are not voted as you requested.

It may apply payments owed to you or sell deposited securities underlying your ADSs to pay any taxes owed and you will remain liable for any deficiency. If it sells deposited securities, it will, if appropriate, reduce the number of ADSs to reflect the sale and pay to you any property remaining after it has paid the taxes.

 (2) The Bank of New York Mellon may, and will if we request, issue new ADSs or ask you to surrender your outstanding ADSs in exchange for new ADSs, identifying the new deposited securities.

Amendment and Termination

If the amendment adds or increases fees or charges, except for taxes and other governmental charges, registration fees, cable, telex or facsimile transmission costs, delivery costs or other such expenses, or prejudices an important right of ADS holders, it will only become effective three months after The Bank of New York Mellon notifies you of the amendment. At the time an amendment becomes effective, you are considered, by continuing to hold your ADS, to agree to the amendment and to be bound by the ADSs and the deposit agreement as amended. However, no amendment will impair your right to receive the deposited securities in exchange for your ADSs.

 

The Bank of New York Mellon will terminate the deposit agreement if we ask it to do so, in which case it must notify you at least 30 days before termination.

well as any other cash it is holding under the deposit agreement for the pro rata benefit of the ADS holders that have not surrendered their ADSs. It will not invest the money and has no liability for interest. The Bank of New York Mellon’s only obligations will be to account for the money and other cash and with respect to indemnification and to retain depositary documents. After termination, our only obligations will be with respect to indemnification and to pay certain amounts to The Bank of New York Mellon.

Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Law

 

The Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Law of Japan and the cabinet orders and ministerial ordinances incidental thereto, collectively known as the Foreign Exchange Law, set forth, among other matters, the regulations relating to the receipt by non-residents of Japan of payment with respect to shares to be issued by us and the acquisition and holding of shares by non-residents of Japan and foreign investors, both as defined below. It also applies in some cases to the acquisition and holding of our shares or ADSs representing such shares acquired and held by non-residents of Japan and by foreign investors. Generally, the Foreign Exchange Law currently in effect does not affect the right of a non-resident of Japan to purchase or sell an ADR outside Japan for non-Japanese currency.

 

“Non-residents of Japan” are defined as individuals who are not resident in Japan and corporations whose principal offices are located outside Japan. Generally, the branches and offices of non-resident corporations which are located in Japan are regarded as residents of Japan while the branches and offices of Japanese corporations located outside Japan are regarded as non-residents of Japan.

 

“Foreign investors” are defined as:

 

individuals not resident in Japan;

Ÿ

non resident individuals;

Dividends and Proceeds of Sales

 

Under the Foreign Exchange Law, dividends paid on, and the proceeds of sales in Japan of, shares held by non-residents of Japan may in general be converted into any foreign currency and repatriated abroad. The acquisition of our shares by non-residents by way of a stock split is not subject to any notification or reporting requirements.

Acquisition of Shares

 

In general, a non-resident who acquires shares from a resident of Japan is not subject to any prior filing requirement, although the Foreign Exchange Law empowers the Minister of Finance of Japan to require a prior approval for any such acquisition in certain limited circumstances.

 

If a foreign investor acquires our shares, and, together with parties who have a special relationship with that foreign investor, holds 10% or more of our issued shares as a result of such acquisition, the foreign investor must file a report of such acquisition with the Minister of Finance and any other competent Minister within 15 days from and includingby the fifteenth day of the month immediately following the month to which the date of such acquisition.acquisition belongs. In certain limited circumstances, however, a prior notification of such acquisition must be filed with the Minister of Finance and any other competent Minister, who may modify or prohibit the proposed acquisition.

 

Deposit and Withdrawal under American Depositary Facility

 

The deposit of shares with us, in our capacity as custodian and agent for the depositary, in Tokyo, the issuance of ADSs by the depositary to a non-resident of Japan in respect of the deposit and the withdrawal of the underlying shares upon the surrender of the ADSs are not subject to any of the formalities or restrictions referred

to above. However, where as a result of a deposit or withdrawal the aggregate number of shares held by the depositary, including shares deposited with us as custodian for the depositary, or the holder surrendering ADSs, as the case may be, would be 10% or more of the total outstanding shares, a report will be required, and in specified circumstances, a prior notification may be required, as noted above.

 

Reporting of Substantial Shareholdings

 

The Financial Instruments and Exchange Law of Japan requires any person who has become, beneficially and solely or jointly, a holder of more than 5% of the total issued shares of capital stock of a company listed on any Japanese financial instruments exchange or whose shares are traded on the over-the-counter market in Japan to file with the director of a competent finance bureau within 5 business days a report concerning such shareholdings.

 

A similar report must also be filed in respect of any subsequent change of 1% or more in any such holding ratio or any change in material matters set out in reports previously filed, with certain exceptions. For this purpose, shareshares issuable to such person upon exchange of exchangeable securities, conversion of convertible securities or exercise of share subscription warrants or stock acquisition rights (including those incorporated in bonds with stock acquisition rights) are taken into account in determining both the number of shares held by such holder and the issuer’s total issued shares of capital stock. Copies of such report must also be furnished to the issuer of such shares and all Japanese financial instruments exchanges on which the shares are listed or (in the case of shares traded over-the-counter) the Japan Securities Dealers Association.

Japanese Taxation

 

The following sets forth the material Japanese tax consequences to owners of shares of our common stock or ADSs who are non-resident individuals or non-Japanese corporations without a permanent establishment in Japan to which the relevant income is attributable, which we refer to as “non-resident holders” in this section. The statements regarding Japanese tax laws below are based on the laws in force and as interpreted by the Japanese taxation authorities as at the date of this Annual Report and are subject to changes in the applicable Japanese laws, double taxation treaties, conventions or agreements or interpretations thereof occurring after that date. This summary is not exhaustive of all possible tax considerations that may apply to a particular investor, and potential investors are advised to satisfy themselves as to the overall tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of shares of our common stock or ADSs, including specifically the tax consequences under Japanese law, the laws of the jurisdiction of which they are resident and any tax treaty between Japan and their country of residence, by consulting their own tax advisers.

For the purpose of Japanese tax law and the Tax Convention (as defined below), a US holder of ADSs will be treated as the owner of the shares of our common stock underlying the ADSs evidenced by the ADRs.

 

Generally, a non-resident holder of shares of our common stock or ADSs is subject to Japanese withholding tax on dividends paid by us. In the absence of any applicable tax treaty, convention or agreement reducing the maximum rate of withholding tax, the rate of Japanese withholding tax applicable to dividends paid by us to non-resident holders is 7% for dividends to be paid on or before MarchDecember 31, 20092011 pursuant to Japanese tax law. After such date, the maximum withholding rate for US holders (as defined below), which is generally set at 10% of the gross amount distributed, shall be applicable pursuant to the Tax Convention (as defined below).

 

On March 30, 2004, the Convention between the Government of the United States of America and Japan for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income (the “Tax Convention”), has becomebecame effective to replace its predecessor, which was signed on March 8, 1971 (the “Prior Treaty”). The Tax Convention establishes the maximum rate of Japanese withholding tax which may be imposed on dividends paid to a US resident not having a permanent establishment in Japan. Under the Tax Convention, the maximum withholding rate for US holders (as defined below) is generally set at 10% of the gross amount

distributed. However, the maximum rate is 5% of the gross amount distributed if the recipient is a corporation and owns directly or indirectly, on the date on which entitlement to the dividends is determined, at least 10% of the voting shares of the paying corporation. Furthermore, the amount distributed shall not be taxed if the recipient is (i) a pension fund which is a US resident, provided that such dividends are not derived from the carrying on of a business, directly or indirectly, by such pension fund or (ii) a parent company with a controlling interest in the paying company and satisfies certain other requirements. US holders (as defined below) are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to their eligibility for benefits under the Prior Treaty and the Tax Convention.

 

Japanese tax law provides in general that if the Japanese statutory rate is lower than the maximum rate applicable under tax treaties, conventions or agreements, the Japanese statutory rate shall be applicable. The rate of Japanese withholding tax applicable to dividends paid by us to non-resident holders is 7% for dividends to be paid on or before MarchDecember 31, 20092011 and 15% thereafter, except for dividends paid to any individual non-resident holder who holds 5% or more of our issued shares for which the applicable rate is 20%.

 

Non-resident holders of shares who are entitled to a reduced rate of Japanese withholding tax on payments of dividends on the shares of our common stock or ADSs by us are required to submit an Application Form for the Income Tax Convention regarding Relief from Japanese Income Tax on Dividends in advance through us to the relevant tax authority before the payment of dividends. A standing proxy for non-resident holders may provide this application service for the non-resident holders. Non-resident holders who do not submit an application in advance will generally be entitled to claim a refund from the relevant Japanese tax authority of withholding taxes withheld in excess of the rate of an applicable tax treaty.

 

Gains derived from the sale or other disposition of shares of our common stock or ADSs within or outside Japan by a non-resident holder are not, in general, subject to Japanese income or corporation taxes or other Japanese taxes.

 

Any deposits or withdrawals of shares of our common stock by a non-resident holder in exchange for ADSs are not subject to Japanese income or corporation tax.

 

Japanese inheritance and gift taxes, at progressive rates, may be payable by an individual who has acquired shares of our common stock or ADSs as legatee, heir or donee, even if none of the individual, the decedent or the donor is a Japanese resident.

 

US Taxation

 

The following sets forth the material US federal income tax consequences of the ownership of shares and ADSs by a US holder, as defined below. This summary is based on US federal income tax laws, including the US

Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed Treasury regulations thereunder, published rulings and court decisions, and on the Convention between the United States of America and Japan for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with respect to Taxes on Income, or the Tax Convention (as defined above), all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect.

 

The following summary is not a complete analysis or description of all potential US federal income tax consequences to a particular US holder. It does not address all US federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to all categories of potential purchasers, certain of which (such as banks or other financial institutions, insurance companies, dealers in securities, tax-exempt entities, non-US persons, persons holding a share or an ADS as part of a “straddle,” “hedge,” conversion or integrated transaction, holders whose “functional currency” is not the US dollar, holders liable for alternative minimum tax and holders of 10% or more of our voting shares) are subject to special tax treatment. This summary does not address any foreign, state, local or other tax consequences of investments in our shares or ADSs.

 

This summary addresses only shares or ADSs that are held as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code.

As used herein, a “US holder” is a beneficial owner of shares or ADSs, as the case may be, that is, for US federal income tax purposes:

 

a citizen or resident of the US,

Ÿ

a citizen or resident of the United States;

 

a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation created or organized under the laws of the US or any political subdivision thereof,

Ÿ

Ÿ

Ÿ

the administration of which is subject to (1) the supervision of a court within the United States and (2) the control of one or more US persons as described in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code; or

 

that has a valid election in effect under applicable US Treasury regulations to be treated as a US person.

Ÿ

that has a valid election in effect under applicable US Treasury regulations to be treated as a US person.

 

A “Non-US holder” is any beneficial holder of shares or ADSs that is not a US holder.

 

If a partnership holds shares or ADSs, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding shares or ADSs, you should consult your tax advisor.

 

We urge US holders to consult their own tax advisors concerning the US federal, state and local and other tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership and disposition of shares or ADSs.

 

This summary is based in part on representations by the depositary and assumes that each obligation under the deposit agreement and any related agreement will be performed in accordance with their respective terms. For US federal income tax purposes, holders of ADSs will be treated as the owners of the shares represented by the ADSs. Accordingly, withdrawals or deposits of shares in exchange for ADSs generally will not be subject to US federal income tax.

 

The US Treasury has expressed concerns that intermediaries in the chain of ownership between the holder of an ADS and the issuer of the security underlying the ADS may be taking actions that are inconsistent with the beneficial ownership of the underlying shares (for example, pre-releasing ADSs to persons who do not have beneficial ownership of the securities underlying the ADSs). Accordingly, the discussion on the creditability of Japanese taxes and the availability of the reduced rate of tax for dividends received by certain non-corporate US holders, each as described below, could be affected by actions taken by intermediaries in the chain of ownership

between the holder of ADSs and MUFG if, as a result of such actions, the holders of ADSs andare not properly treated as beneficial owners of the underlying shares. We are not aware of any intention to take any such actions, and accordingly, the remainder of this discussion assumes that holders of ADSs will be properly treated as beneficial owners of the underlying shares.

 

Special adverse US federal income tax rules apply if a US holder holds shares or ADSs of a company that is treated as a “passive foreign investment company” (a “PFIC”) for any taxable year during which the US holder held shares or ADSs. Based upon proposed Treasury regulations and upon certain management estimates, we do not expect MUFG to be a PFIC for US federal income tax purposesADSs, as discussed in the current year or in future years. However, there can be no assurance that the described proposed regulations will be finalized in their current form, and the determination of whether MUFG is a PFIC is based upon, among other things, the composition of our income and assets and the value of our assets from time to time.more detail below. US holders should consult their own tax advisors as to the potential application of the PFIC rules to their ownership and disposition of shares or ADSs. This discussion assumes that we are not, and will not become, a PFIC.

 

Taxation of Dividends

 

Subject to the application of the PFIC rules discussed below, US holders will include the gross amount of any distribution received with respect to shares or ADSs (before reduction for Japanese withholding taxes), to the extent paid out of the current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for US federal income tax purposes) of MUFG, as ordinary income in their gross income. As discussed below, for certain US holders, dividends may be eligible for a reduced rate of taxation. The amount of distribution of property other than cash will be the fair market value of such property on the date of the distribution. Dividends received by a US holder will not be eligible for the “dividends-received

“dividends-received deduction” allowed to US corporations in respect of dividends received from other US corporations. To the extent that an amount received by a US holder exceeds such holder’s allocable share of our current earnings and profits, such excess will be applied first to reduce such holder’s tax basis in its shares or ADSs, thereby increasing the amount of gain or decreasing the amount of loss recognized on a subsequent disposition of the shares or ADSs. Then, to the extent such distribution exceeds such US holder’s tax basis, such excess will be treated as capital gain. However, MUFG does not maintain calculations of its earnings and profits in accordance with US federal income tax principles, and US holders should therefore assume that any distribution by MUFG with respect to shares or ADSs will constitute ordinary dividend income. The amount of the dividend will be the US dollar value of the Japanese yen payments received. This value will be determined at the spot Japanese yen/US dollar rate on the date the dividend is received by the depositary in the case of US holders of ADSs, or by the shareholder in the case of US holders of shares, regardless of whether the dividend payment is in fact converted into US dollars at that time. If the Japanese yen received as a dividend are not converted into US dollars on the date of receipt, a US holder will have basis in such Japanese yen equal to their US dollar value on the date of receipt, and any foreign currency gains or losses resulting from the conversion of the Japanese yen will generally be treated as US source ordinary income or loss. If the Japanese yen received as a dividend are converted into US dollars on the date of receipt, a US holder will generally not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend income.

 

If a US holder is eligible for benefits under the Tax Convention, the holder may be able to claim a reduced rate of Japanese withholding tax. All US holders should consult their tax advisors about their eligibility for reduction of Japanese withholding tax. A US holder may claim a deduction or a foreign tax credit, subject to other applicable limitations, only for tax withheld at the appropriate rate. A US holder should not be allowed a foreign tax credit for withholding tax for any portion of the tax that could have been avoided by claiming benefits under the Tax Convention. For foreign tax credit limitation purposes, the dividend will be income from sources outside the United States. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. For this purpose, dividends we pay will constitute “passive income” or, in the case of certain US holders, “financial services income.” The rules governing US foreign tax credits are very complex and US holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of foreign tax credits under their particular circumstances.

 

The JobsSubject to applicable exceptions with respect to short-term and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003, or the Act, affects the taxation of dividends. Qualifiedhedged positions, qualified dividends received by non-corporate US holders prior to January 1, 2011 from a qualified corporation may be eligible for reduced rates of taxation. Qualified corporations include those foreign corporations eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States that the US Treasury Department

determines to be satisfactory for these purposes and that includes an exchange of information provision. The Tax Convention meets these requirements. We believe that MUFG is a qualified foreign corporation and that dividends received by US investors with respect to shares or ADSs of MUFG will be qualified dividends. Dividends received by US investors from a foreign corporation that was a PFIC in either the taxable year of the distribution or the preceding taxable year are not qualified dividends. We

Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations

Special adverse US federal income tax rules apply if a US holder holds shares or ADSs of a company that is treated as a PFIC, for any taxable year during which the US holder held shares or ADSs. A foreign corporation will be considered a PFIC for any taxable year in which (i) 75% or more of its gross income is passive income, or (ii) 50% or more of the average fair market value of its assets (determined quarterly) is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. For this purpose, passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents and certain gains from the sale of stock and securities. If a foreign corporation owns at least 25% (by value) of the stock of another corporation, the corporation will be treated, for purposes of the PFIC tests, as owning a proportionate share of the other corporation’s assets and receiving its proportionate share of the other corporation’s income. The determination of whether a foreign corporation is a PFIC is made annually.

Proposed Treasury regulations convert what would otherwise be passive income into non-passive income when such income is banking income earned by an active bank. Based upon these proposed Treasury regulations and upon certain management estimates and assumptions, we do not believe that we were a PFIC for the year

ending March 31, 2010 and do not expect to be a PFIC in the current or future years. However, there can be no assurance that the described proposed Treasury regulations will be finalized in their current form and the application of the proposed Treasury regulations is not clear. Moreover, the determination of whether MUFG is a qualified foreign corporationPFIC is based upon, among other things, the composition of our income and assets and the value of our assets from time to time and is made annually. Accordingly, it is possible that dividends received byMUFG may become a PFIC in the current or any future taxable year due to changes in our asset or income composition. In addition, a decrease in the price of our shares may also result in MUFG becoming a PFIC. If MUFG were classified as a PFIC in any year during which a US investorsholder owns shares or ADSs and the US holder does not make a “mark-to-market” election, as discussed below, MUFG generally would continue to be treated as a PFIC as to such US holder in all succeeding years, regardless of whether MUFG continues to meet the income or asset test discussed above.

If MUFG were classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a US holder holds our shares or ADSs, the US holder would generally not receive capital gains treatment upon the sale of the shares or ADSs and would be subject to increased tax liability (generally including an interest charge) upon the sale or other disposition of the shares or ADSs or upon the receipt of certain distributions treated as “excess distributions,” unless the US holder makes the mark-to-market election described below. An excess distribution generally would be any distribution to a US holder with respect to shares or ADSs during a single taxable year that is greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by a US holder with respect to shares or ADSs during the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, during the US holder’s holding period for the shares or ADSs.

Mark-to-Market Election.    If the shares or ADSs are regularly traded on a registered national securities exchange or certain other exchanges or markets, then such shares or ADSs would constitute “marketable stock” for purposes of the PFIC rules, and a US holder would not be subject to the foregoing PFIC rules if such holder made a mark-to-market election. After making such an election, the US holder generally would include as ordinary income each year during which the election is in effect and during which MUFG is a PFIC the excess, if any, of the fair market value of MUFG shares or ADSs at the end of the taxable year over such holder’s adjusted basis in such shares or ADSs. These amounts of ordinary income would not be eligible for the favorable tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income or long-term capital gains. A US holder also would be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the holder’s adjusted basis in MUFG shares or ADSs over their fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of income that was previously included as a result of the mark-to-market election). A US holder’s tax basis in MUFG shares or ADSs would be adjusted to reflect any income or loss amounts resulting from a mark-to-market election. If made, a mark-to-market election would be effective for the taxable year for which the election was made and for all subsequent taxable years unless the shares or ADSs cease to qualify as “marketable stock” for purposes of the PFIC rules or the Internal Revenue Service consented to the revocation of the election. In the event that MUFG is classified as a PFIC, US holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the mark-to-market election, and whether the election would be advisable in the holder’s particular circumstances.

QEF Election.    The PFIC rules outlined above also would not apply to a US holder if such holder alternatively elected to treat MUFG as a “qualified electing fund” or “QEF”. An election to treat MUFG as a QEF will not be qualified dividends. Noteavailable, however, if MUFG does not provide the information necessary to make such an election. MUFG will not provide US holders with the information necessary to make a QEF election, and thus, the QEF election will not be available with respect to our shares.

Notwithstanding any election made with respect to MUFG shares, dividends received with respect to MUFG shares will not constitute “qualified dividend income” if MUFG is a PFIC in either the year of the distribution or the preceding taxable year. Dividends that these provisions do not affectconstitute qualified dividend income are not eligible for taxation at the reduced tax rate described above in “—Taxation of Dividends.” Instead, such dividends would be subject to tax at ordinary income rates.

If a US holder owns shares or ADSs during any year in which MUFG is a PFIC, the US holder must also file IRS Form 8621 regarding distributions received on the shares or ADSs, any gain realized on the shares or

ADSs, and any “reportable election” in accordance with the instructions to such form. In addition, under recently enacted legislation, each US shareholder of a PFIC is required to file such annual information as is specified by Non-US holders.the U.S. Treasury Department, which has not yet enacted regulations or other authority specifying what information must be filed. US holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding Offered Shares if the Company were considered a PFIC in any taxable year.

 

Taxation of Capital Gains

 

UponSubject to the application of the PFIC rules discussed above, upon a sale or other disposition of shares or ADSs, a US holder will recognize a gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the US dollar value of the amount realized and the US holder’s tax basis, determined in US dollars, in such shares or ADSs. Such gaingains or losslosses will be capital gaingains or losslosses and will be long-term capital gaingains or losslosses if the US holder’s holding period for such shares or ADSs exceeds one year. A US holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares or ADSs will generally be the cost to the holder of such shares or ADSs. Any such gaingains or losslosses realized by a US holder upon disposal of the shares or ADSs will generally be income or loss from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations under the Code.

 

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

 

Dividends paid on shares or ADSs to a US holder, or proceeds from a US holder’s sale or other disposition of shares or ADSs, may be subject to information reporting requirements. Those dividends or proceeds from sale or disposition may also be subject to backup withholding unless the US holder:

 

is a corporation or other exempt recipient, and, when required, demonstrates this fact, or

Ÿ

is a corporation or other exempt recipient, and, when required, demonstrates this fact; or

 

provides a correct taxpayer identification number on a properly completed US Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or substitute form, certifies that the US holder is not subject to backup withholding, and otherwise complies with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules.

Ÿ

provides a correct taxpayer identification number on a properly completed US Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or substitute form, certifies that the US holder is not subject to backup withholding, and otherwise complies with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules.

 

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amount withheld under these rules will be creditable against the US holder’s US federal income tax liability or refundable to the extent that it exceeds such liability if the US holder provides the required information to the Internal Revenue Service. If a US holder is required to and does not provide a correct taxpayer identification number, the US holder may be subject to penalties imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. All holders should consult their tax advisors as to their qualification for the exemption from backup withholding and the procedure for obtaining an exemption.

 

F.    DividendsIn addition, for taxable years beginning after March 18, 2010, new legislation requires certain U.S. holders who are individuals that hold certain foreign financial assets (which may include our shares or ADSs) to report information relating to such assets, subject to certain exceptions. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this legislation on their ownership and Paying Agentsdisposition of our shares and ADSs.

Please refer to discussion under “Item 4.C. Information on the Company—Organizational Structure.”

Item 11.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Credit, Market and Other Risk.

 

Numerous changes in our business environment have occurred as a result of deregulation and globalization of the financial industry, and the advancement of information technology.technology and changes in economic conditions. We aim to be a global and comprehensive financial group encompassing leading commercial and trust banks, and securities firms in Japan. Risk management plays an increasingly important role as the risks faced by financial groups such as us increase in scope and variety.

 

We identify various risks arising from businesses based on uniform criteria, and implement integrated risk management to ensure a stronger financial condition and to maximize shareholder value. Based on this policy, we identify, measure, control and monitor a wide variety of risks so as to achieve a stable balance between earnings and risks. We undertake risk management to create an appropriate capital structure and to achieve optimal allocation of resources.

 

Risk Classification

 

At the holding company level, we broadly classify and define risk categories faced by the Group including those that are summarized below. Group companies perform more detailed risk management based on their respective operations.

 

Type of Risk

  

Definition

Credit Risk

  The risk of financial loss in credit assets (including off-balance sheet instruments) caused by deterioration in the credit conditions of counterparties. This category includes country risk.

Market Risk

  Market risk is the risk of financial loss where the value of our assets and liabilities could be adversely affected by changes in market variables such as interest rates, securities prices and foreign exchange rates. Market liquidity risk is the risk of financial loss caused by the inability to secure market transactions at the required volume or price levels as a result of market turbulence or lack of trading liquidity.

Liquidity Risk

  The risk of incurring loss if a poor financial position at a group company hampers the ability to meet funding requirements or necessitates fund procurement at interest rates markedly higher than normal.

Operational Risk

  The risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people or systems, or from external events.

Ÿ     Operations Risk

  The risk of incurring loss that might be caused by negligence of correct operational processing, or by incidents or misconduct by either officers or staff, as well as risks similar to this risk.

Ÿ     Information Asset Risk

  The risk of loss caused by loss, alteration, falsification or leakage of information, or by destruction, disruption, errors or misuse of information systems, as well as risks similar to this risk.

Ÿ     Reputation Risk

  The risk of loss due to deterioration in reputation as a consequence of the spread of rumors among customers or in the market, or as a consequence of inadequate response to the circumstance by MUFG, as well as risks similar to this risk.

Risk Management System

 

We have adopted an integrated risk management system and promotesto promote close cooperation among the holding company and group companies. The holding company and the major subsidiaries (which include The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., or BTMU, Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation, or MUTB, and Mitsubishi UFJ Securities Holdings Co., Ltd., or MUS)MUSHD) each appoint a Chief Risk Management OfficersOfficer and establish an independent risk management divisions.division. At the Risk Management Committees, our management members discuss and dynamically manage various types of risks from both qualitative and quantitative perspectives. The board of directors determines risk management policies for various types of risk based on the discussions held by these committees.

 

The holding company seeks to enhance group-wide risk identification, to integrate and improve the Group’s risk management system and related methods, to maintain asset quality, and to eliminate concentrations of specific risks. Group-wide risk management policy is determined at the holding company level and each group company implements and improves its own risk management system based on this policy.

 

Business Continuity Management

 

Based on a clear critical response rationale and associated decision-making criteria, we have developed systems to ensure that operations are not interrupted or can be restored to normal quickly in the event of a natural disaster or system failure so as to minimize any disruption to customers and markets. A crisis management team within the holding company is the central coordinating body in the event of any emergency. Based on information collected from crisis management personnel at the major subsidiaries, this central body would assess the overall impact of a crisis on the Group’s business and establish task forces that could implement all countermeasures to restore full operations. We have business continuity plans to maintain continuous operational viability in the event of natural disasters, system failures and other types of emergencies. Regular training drills are conducted to upgrade the practical effectiveness of these systems.

 

Implementation of Basel II

 

The Basel Committee on Banking SupervisionII is a comprehensive regulatory framework for ensuring the soundness and stability of the Bank for International Settlements has set capital adequacy standards for all internationally active banks to ensure minimum levels of capital. The Basel Committee worked over recent years to revise the 1988 Accord and, in June 2004, the Committee released “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards: A Revised Framework.” This new framework, called Basel II, has been applied to Japanese banks since March 31, 2007. Basel IIinternational banking system. It is based on “three pillars”: (1) minimum capital requirements, (2) the self-regulation of financial institutions based on supervisory review process, and (3) market discipline through the disclosure of information. The goal of Basel II is to have these three pillars mutually reinforce each other to ensure the effectiveness of regulations. Compared to the previous framework, Basel II is thus a more comprehensive regulatory framework for ensuring the soundness and stability of the international banking system. In addition, with respect to credit risk and operational risk, as compared to the previous framework, Basel II provides more risk-sensitive approaches and a range of options for measuring risks and determining the capital requirements. As a result, Basel II also reflects the nature of risks at each bank more closely. Basel II has been applied to Japanese banks since March 31, 2007.

Based on the principles of Basel II, MUFG has adopted the FoundationAdvanced Internal Ratings-Based Approach to calculate its capital requirements for credit risk.risk since March 31, 2009. The Standardized Approach is used for some subsidiaries that are considered to be immaterial to our overall capital requirements and a few subsidiaries have adopted a phased rollout of the internal ratings-based approach. MUFG has adopted the Standardized Approach to calculate its capital requirements for operational risk. As for market risk, MUFG has adopted the Internal Models Approach mainly to calculate general market risk and adopted the Standardized Method to calculate specific risk.

 

The Basel Committee of Banking Supervision has proposed revisions to Basel II in response to the recent global financial crisis. We intend to continue to monitor discussions and other developments relating to the proposed revisions.

Credit Risk Management

 

Credit risk is the risk of losses due to deterioration in the financial condition of a borrower. We have established risk management systems to maintain asset quality, manage credit risk exposure and achieve earnings commensurate with risk.

WeOur major banking subsidiaries (which include BTMU and MUTB) apply a uniform group-wide credit rating system for asset evaluation and assessment, loan pricing, and quantitative measurement of credit risk. This system also underpins the calculation of capital requirements and management of credit portfolios. We continually seek to upgrade credit portfolio management, or CPM, expertise to achieve an improved risk-adjusted return based on the Group’s credit portfolio status and flexible response capability to economic and other external changes.

 

Credit Risk Management System

 

The credit portfolios of our major banking subsidiaries are monitored and assessed on a regular basis by the holding company to maintain and improve asset qualities.quality. A uniform group-wide credit rating and asset evaluation and assessment system is used to ensure timely and proper evaluation of all credit risks.

 

Under our credit risk management system, each major banking subsidiary manages its respective credit risk on a consolidated and global basis, while the holding company oversees and manages credit risk on an overall group-wide basis. The holding company also convenes regular committee meetings to monitor credit risk management at banking subsidiaries and to issue guidance where necessary.

 

Each major banking subsidiary has in place a system of checks and balances in which a credit administration section that is independent of the business promotion sections screens individual transactions and manages the extension of credit.

At the management level, regular meetings of Credit and& Investment Management CommitteesCommittee and related deliberative bodies ensure full discussion of important matters related to credit risk management. Besides such checks and balances and internal oversight systems, credit examination sections also undertake credit testing and evaluation to ensure appropriate credit risk management management.

The following diagram summarizes the credit risk management framework for our major banking subsidiaries:

 

LOGOLOGO

 

Credit Rating System

 

MUFG and its major banking subsidiaries have introduced an integrated group-wide credit rating system to evaluate credit risk. The credit rating system consists primarily of borrower rating, facility risk rating, structured finance rating and asset securitization rating.

Country risk is also rated on a uniform group-wide basis. Our country risk rating is reviewed periodically to take into account relevant political and economic factors, including foreign currency availability.

 

Risk exposure for small retail loans, such as residential mortgage loans, is managed by grouping loans into various pools and assigning ratings at the pool level.

 

Borrower rating

 

Our borrower rating classifies borrowers into 15 grades based on evaluations of their expected debt-service capability over the next three to five years.

 

The following table sets forth our borrower grades:

 

Definition of MUFG Borrower Rating

 

Borrower
rating
  Definition

1-2

  Borrower capacity to meet financial obligations deemed high and stable

3-5

  Borrower capacity to meet financial obligations deemed free of problems

6-8

  Borrower capacity to meet short-term financial obligations deemed free of problems

9

  Borrower capacity to meet financial obligations deemed slightly insufficient

10-12

  

Close monitoring of borrower required due to one or more of following conditions:

[1]    Borrower who has problems meeting financial obligations (e.g., principal repayments or interest payments in arrears)

[2]    Borrower whose business performance is poor or unsteady, or in an unfavorable financial condition

[3]    Borrower who has problems with loan conditions (e.g., interest rates have been reduced or deferred)

  10  Causes for concern identified in borrower’s business management necessitate ongoing monitoring, despite only minor problems or significant ongoing improvement
  11  Emergence of serious causes for concern in borrower’s business management signal need for caution in debt repayment due to major problems or requiring protracted resolution
  
12  Borrower applicable tomeeting the definition of rating 10 or 11 and holds restructured loan, or borrower with loan contractually past due 90 days or more due to particular reasons, such as an inheritance-related issue

13

  Borrower wherewith respect to whom losses are expected due to major debt repayment problems (that is, although not yet bankrupt, borrower deemed likely to become bankrupt due to financial difficulties and failure to make significant progress with restructuring plans)

14

  Although not legally or officially bankrupt, borrower in virtual bankruptcy due to serious financial difficulties, without any realistic prospect of business recovery

15

  Borrower legally or officially bankrupt and subject to specific procedures, such as legal liquidation/business suspension/winding up of business/private liquidation

Facility risk rating

 

Facility risk rating is used to evaluate and classify the quality of individual credit facilities, including guarantees and collateral. Ratings are assigned by quantitatively measuring the estimated loss rate of a facility in the event of a default.

Structured finance rating and asset securitization rating

 

These ratings are also used to evaluate and classify the quality of individual credit facilities, including guarantees and collateral, and focus on the structure, including the applicable credit period, of each credit facility. In evaluating the debt service potential of a credit facility, we scrutinize its underlying structure to determine the likelihood of the planned future cash flows being achieved.

 

Pool assignment

 

Each major banking subsidiary has its own system for pooling and rating small retail loans designed to reflect the risk profile of its loan portfolios.

 

Asset Evaluation and Assessment System

 

The asset evaluation and assessment system is used to classify assets held by financial institutions according to the probability of collection and the risk of any impairment in value based on borrower classifications consistent with the borrower ratings and the status of collateral, guarantees, and other factors.

 

The system is used to conduct write-offs and allocate allowances against credit risk in a timely and adequate manner.

 

Quantitative Analysis of Credit Risk

 

MUFG and its major banking subsidiaries manage credit risk by monitoring credit amount and expected losses, and run simulations based on internal models to estimate the maximum amount of credit risk. These models are used for internal management purposes, including loan pricing and measuring economic capital.

 

When quantifying credit risk amounts using the internal models, MUFG and its major banking subsidiaries consider various parameters, including probability of default, or PD, loss given default, or LGD, and exposure at default, or EAD, used in their borrower ratings, facility risk ratings and pool assignments as well as any credit concentration risk in particular borrower groups or industry sectors. MUFG and its major banking subsidiaries also share credit portfolio data in appropriate cases.

 

Loan Portfolio Management

 

We aim to achieve and maintain levels of earnings commensurate with credit risk exposure. Products are priced to take into account expected losses, based on the internal credit ratings.

 

We assess and monitor loan amounts and credit exposure by credit rating, industry and region. Portfolios are appropriately managed to limit concentrations of risk in specific categories by establishing large exposure guidelines.Large Credit Guidelines.

 

To manage country risk, we have established specific credit ceilings by country. These ceilings are reviewed when there is any material change in a country’s credit standing, in addition to regular review.

 

Continuous CPM Improvement

 

With the growthprevalence of securitized products and credit derivatives in global markets, we actively seek to supplement conventional CPM techniques with advanced methods based on the use of such market-based instruments.

Through credit risk quantification and portfolio management, we aim to improve the risk return profile of the Group’s credit portfolio, using financial markets to rebalance credit portfolios in a dynamic and active manner based on an accurate assessment of credit risk. The following diagram summarizes our CPM framework:

Risk Management of Strategic Equity Portfolio

 

Strategic equity investment risk is the risk of loss caused by a decline in the prices of our equity investments.

 

We use quantitative analysis to manage the risks associated with the portfolio of equities held for strategic purposes. According to internal calculations, the market value of our strategically held (Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed) stocks as of March 31, 20082010 was subject to a variation of approximately ¥4.2 billion perwhen TOPIX index moves one point of movement in the TOPIX index.either direction.

 

We seek to manage and reduce strategic equity portfolio risk based on such types of simulation. The aim is to keep this risk at appropriate levels compared with Tier 1 capital while generating returns commensurate with the degree of risk exposure.

 

Market Risk Management

 

Market risk is the risk that the value of our assets and liabilities could be adversely affected by changes in market variables such as interest rates, securities prices, or foreign exchange rates.

 

Management of market risk at MUFG aims to control related risk exposure across the Group while ensuring that earnings are commensurate with levels of risk.

 

Market Risk Management System

 

We have adopted an integrated system to manage market risk from itsour trading and non-trading activities. The holding company monitors group-wide market risk, while each of the major subsidiaries manages its market risks on a consolidated and global basis.

 

At each of the major subsidiaries, checks and balances are maintained through a system in which back and middle offices operate independently from front offices. In addition, separate Asset-Liability Management, or

ALM Committee, ALM Council and Risk Management Meetings are held at each of the major subsidiaries every month to deliberate important matters related to market risk and control.

 

The holding company and the major subsidiaries allocate economic capital commensurate with levels of market risk and determined within the scope of their capital bases. The major subsidiaries have established quantitative limits relating to market risk based on their allocated economic capital. In addition, in order to keep losses within predetermined limits, the major subsidiaries have also set limits for the maximum amount of losses arising from market activities. The following diagram summarizes the market risk management system of each major subsidiary:

 

Management System of Our Major Subsidiaries

 

LOGOLOGO

 

Market Risk Management and Control

 

At the holding company and the major subsidiaries, market risk exposure is reported to the Chief Risk Management Officers on a daily basis. At the holding company, the Chief Risk Management Officer monitors market risk exposure across the Group as well as the major subsidiaries’ control over their quantitative limits for market risk and losses. Meanwhile, the Chief Risk Management Officers at the major subsidiaries monitor their own market risk exposure and their control over their quantitative limits for market risk and losses. In addition, various analyses on risk profiles, including stress testing, are conducted and reported to the Executive Committees and the Corporate Risk Management Committees on a regular basis. At the business unit levels in the major subsidiaries, the market risks on their marketable assets and liabilities, such as interest rate risk and foreign exchange rate risk, are controlled by entering into various hedging transactions using marketable securities and derivatives.

 

As part of our market risk management activities, we use certain derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate and currency exposures. We maintain an overall interest rate risk management strategy that incorporates the use of interest rate contracts to minimize significant unplanned fluctuations in earnings that are caused by interest rate volatility. We enter into interest rate swaps and other contracts as part of our interest rate risk management strategy primarily to alter the interest rate sensitivity of itsour loans, investment securities and deposit liabilities. Our principal objectives in risk management include asset and liability management. Asset and liability management is viewed as one of the methods for us to manage itsour interest rate exposures on interest-bearing assets and liabilities. Interest rate contracts, which are generally non-leveraged generic interest rate and basis swaps, options and futures, allow us to effectively manage our interest rate risk position. Option contracts primarily consist of caps, floors, swaptions and options on index futures. Futures contracts used for asset and liability management activities are primarily index futures providing for cash payments based upon the movement of an underlying rate index. We enter into forward exchange contracts, currency swaps and other contracts in response to currency exposures resulting from on-balance-sheet assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies in order to limit the net foreign exchange position by currency to an appropriate level.

These market risk management activities are performed in accordance with the predetermined rules and procedures. The internal auditors as well as independent accounting auditors regularly verify the appropriateness of the management controls over these activities and the risk evaluation models adopted.

 

Market Risk Measurement Model

 

Market risks consist of general risks and specific risks. General market risks result from changes in entire markets, while specific risks relate to changes in the prices of individual stocks and bonds which are independent of the overall direction of the market.

 

To measure general market risks, MUFG uses the VaR method which estimates changes in the market value of portfolios within a certain period by statistically analyzing past market data. Since the daily variation in market risk is significantly greater than that in other types of risk, MUFG measures and manages market risk using VaR on a daily basis.

 

Market risk for trading and non-trading activities is measured using a uniform market risk measurement model. The principleprincipal model used for these activities is historical simulation (HS) model (holding period, 10 business days; confidence interval, 99%; and observation period, 701 business days). The HS model calculates VaR amounts by estimating the profit and loss on the current portfolio by applying actual fluctuations in market rates and prices over a fixed period in the past. This method is capable of capturingdesigned to capture certain statistically infrequent movements, such as a fat tail, and accounts for the characteristics of financial instruments with non-linear behavior. Independent auditors, who were engaged only in the particular audit, verified the accuracy and appropriateness of this internal market risk model. The holding company and banking subsidiaries also use the HS model to calculate Basel II regulatory capital adequacy ratios. MUFG has notified the Financial Services Agency of its use as the internal market risk model, and received approval for its use of the model in March 2007.

 

In calculating VaR using the HS method, we have implemented an integrated market risk measurement system throughout the Group. Our major subsidiaries calculate their VaR based on the risk and market data prepared by the information systems of their front offices and other departments. The major subsidiaries providesprovide this risk data to the holding company, which calculates overall VaR taking into account the diversification effect among all portfolios of the major subsidiaries.

 

For the purpose of internally evaluating capital adequacy on an economic capital basis in terms of market risk, we use this market risk measurement model to calculate risk amounts based on a holding period of one year and a confidence interval of 99%.

 

Monitoring and managing our sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations is the key to managing market risk in MUFG’s non-trading activities. The major banking subsidiaries take the following approach to measuring risks concerning core deposits, loan prepayments and early deposit withdrawals.

 

To measure interest rate risk relating to deposits without contract-based fixed maturities, the amount of “core deposits” is calculated through a statistical analysis based on deposit balance trend data and the outlook for interest rates on deposits, business decisions, and other factors. The amount of “core deposit” is categorized into various groups of maturity terms of up to five years (2.5 years on average) to recognize interest rate risk. The calculation assumptions and methods to determine the amount of core deposits and maturity term categorization are regularly reviewed.

 

Meanwhile, deposits and loans with contract-based maturities are sometimes cancelled or repaid before their maturity dates. To measure interest rate risk for these deposits and loans, we reflect these early termination events mainly by applying early termination rates calculated based on a statistical analysis of historical repayment and cancellation data together with historical market interest rate data.

Trading activities

 

The aggregate VaR for our total trading activities as of March 31, 20082010 was ¥6.61¥17.06 billion, comprising interest-rate risk exposure of ¥5.65¥18.08 billion, foreign exchange risk exposure of ¥0.70¥4.05 billion, and equity-related risk exposure of ¥1.39¥1.94 billion. Compared with the VaR as of March 31, 2007,2009, we experienced a largeslight decrease in market risk during the fiscal year in review, particularlyended March 31, 2010, primarily due to increased diversification effect, though our exposure to foreign exchange and equity-related risk.interest rate risk increased.

 

Our average daily VaR for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20082010 was ¥10.99 billion, rising from our daily VaR¥18.02 billion. Based on a simple sum of ¥6.40 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. This primarily reflected an increase infigures across market risk categories, interest rate risk andaccounted for approximately 66%, foreign exchange risk.risk for approximately 21% and equity-related risk for approximately 12% of our total trading activity market risks.

 

Due to the nature of trading operations which involves frequent changes in trading positions, market risk varied substantially during the fiscal year, depending on our trading positions.

The quantitative market risk figures from trading activities tend to fluctuate widely due to the market sensitive nature of trading business. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008,2010, the revenue from our trading activities has been relatively stable, keeping positive numbers in 179228 days out of 260 trading days in the period. During the same period, there were 99100 days with positive revenue exceeding ¥1 billion and 293 days with negative revenue exceeding minus ¥1 billion.

 

Non-trading Activities

 

The aggregate VaR for our total non-trading activities as of March 31, 2008,2010, excluding market risks related to our strategic equity portfolio and measured using the same standards as trading activities, was ¥251.6¥455.7 billion. Market risks related to interest rates equaled ¥211.0¥430.9 billion and equities-related risks equaled ¥72.0¥147.1 billion. Compared with the VaR for MUFG at March 31, 2007,2009, the increasedecrease in the overall market risk was ¥52.0¥47.6 billion. Market risks related to interest rate riskrates decreased ¥41.4 billion. Equity related risks increased ¥36.2 billion. Equities-related risks decreased ¥22.7¥88.8 billion.

 

Based on a simple sum of figures across market risk categories, interest rate risks accounted for approximately 75% of our total non-trading activity market risks. Looking at a breakdown of interest rate related risk by currency, at March 31, 2008,2010, the yen accounted for approximately 57%36% while the US dollar accounted for approximately 35%51%.

Comparing the proportion of each currency’s interest rate VaR to the total interest rate VaR as of March 31, 20082010 against that as of March 31, 2007,2009, there were a five7 percentage point increase in Japanese yen from 52%29% to 57% and36%, a four11 percentage point decrease in US dollar from 39%62% to 35%51%, and a 6 percentage point increase in Euro stays at the same level at 8%from 7% to 13%.

 

Backtesting

 

We conduct backtesting in which a VaR is compared with actual realized and unrealized losses on a daily basis to verify the accuracy of our VaR measurement model. We also conduct additional backtesting using other methods, including testing VaR against hypothetical losses and testing VaR by various changing parameters such as confidence intervals and observation periods used in the model.

 

Actual losses never exceeded VaR once in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.2010. This means that our VaR model provided reasonably accurate measurements of market risk during the fiscal year.

 

Stress Testing

 

We have adopted an HS-VaR model, which calculates a VaR as a statistically possible amount of losses in a fixed confidence interval based on historical market volatility. However, the HS-VaR model is not designed to capture certain abnormal market fluctuations. In order to complement this weakness of the model, MUFG conducts portfolio stress testing to measure potential losses using a variety of scenarios.

 

The holding company and the major subsidiaries conduct stress testing on a daily, monthly and quarterly basis to monitor their overall portfolio risk by applying various scenarios. For example, the holding company tests estimated potential losses resulting from scenarios reflecting the market conditions at the time of testing, scenarios based on extreme historic market conditions, such as Black Monday or the 1994 bond sell-off, and scenarios involving the largest fluctuations in markets over a specific period in the past.

Dailydaily stress testing at the holding company estimates maximum potential losses in each market on the current trading portfolio based on the worst ten-day historical volatility recorded during the VaR observation period of 701 days. As of March 31, 2008, the maximum predicted losses at the Group level on this basis were ¥8.4 billion for trading activities and ¥282.8 billion for non-trading activities, compared to ¥19.1 billion and ¥249.7 billion, respectively, as of March 31, 2007.

 

In light of increased market volatility since the second half of 2007, we have implemented additional tests under various stress scenarios to supplement VaR and are applying the test results to risk management.

 

Liquidity Risk Management

 

Liquidity risk is the risk of incurring losses if a poor financial position hampers the ability to meet funding requirements, or necessitates fund procurement at interest rates markedly higher than normal.

 

Our major subsidiaries maintain appropriate liquidity in both Japanese yen and foreign currencies by managing their funding sources and mechanism, such as liquidity gap, liquidity-supplying products such as commitment lines, and buffer assets.

We have established a group-wide system for managing liquidity risk by categorizing the risk in the following three stages: Normal, With-Concern, and Critical. The front offices and risk management offices of the major subsidiaries and the holding company exchange information and data on liquidity risk even at the Normal stage. At higher alert stages, we centralize information about liquidity risk and discuss issues relating to group-wide liquidity control actions among group companies, if necessary. We have also established a system for

liaison and consultation on funding in preparation for contingency, such as natural disasters, wars and terrorist attacks. The holding company and the major subsidiaries conduct group-wide contingency preparedness drills on a regular basis to ensure smooth implementation in the event of an emergency.

 

Operational Risk Management

 

Operational risk refers to the risk of loss caused by either internal control issues, such as inadequate operational processes or misconduct, system failures, or external factors such as aasserious political instability, major terrorist activity, health epidemics and natural disaster.disasters. The term includes a broad range of risks that could lead to losses, including operations risk, information asset risk, reputation risk, legal risk, and tangible asset risk. These risks that comprise operational risk are referred to as sub-category risks.

 

MUFG’s board of directors has approved the MUFG Operational Risk Management Policy as a group-wide policy for managing operational risk. This policy sets forth the core principles regarding operational risk management, including the definition of operational risk, and the risk management system and processes. The policy also requires the board of directors and the Executive Committee to formulate fundamental principles of operational risk management and establish and maintain an appropriate risk management system. The Chief Risk Management Officer is responsible for recognizing, evaluating, and appropriately managing operational risk in accordance with the fundamental principles formulated by the board of directors and the Executive Committee. A division in charge of operational risk management must be established that is independent of business promotion sections to manage overall operational risk in a comprehensive manner. These fundamental principles have also been approved by the boards of directors of the major subsidiaries, providing a consistent framework for operational risk management of the Group. The diagram below sets forth the operational risk management system of each major banking subsidiary:

 

Management System of Our Major Banking Subsidiaries

 

LOGOLOGO

 

As set forth in the following diagram, we have established a risk management framework for loss data collection, control self assessment (CSA), and measurement of operational risk in order to appropriately identify, recognize, evaluate, measure, control, monitor and report operational risk.

 

We have also established group-wide reporting guidelines with respect to loss data collection and its monitoring. We focus our efforts on ensuring accurate assessment of the status of operational risk losses and the implementation of appropriate countermeasures, while maintaining databases of internal and external loss events.

The following diagram summarizes our operational risk management framework:

LOGOLOGO

 

Operations Risk Management

 

Operations risk refers to the risk of loss that is attributable to the actions of executives or employees, whether accidental or the result of neglect or deliberate misconduct. The Group companies offer a wide range of financial services, ranging from commercial banking products such as deposits, exchange services and loans to trust and related services covering pensions, securities, real estate and securitization, as well as transfer agent services. Cognizant of the potentially significant impact that operations risk-related events could have in terms of both economic losses and damage to our reputation, our banking subsidiaries continue to improve their management systems to create and apply appropriate operations risk-related controls.

 

Specific ongoing measures to reduce operations risk include the development of databases to manage, analyze and prevent the recurrence of related loss events; efforts to tighten controls over administrative procedures and related operating authority, while striving to improve human resources management; investments in systems to improve the efficiency of administrative operations; and programs to expand and upgrade internal auditing and operational guidance systems.

 

Senior management receives regular reports on the status of our businesses from an operations risk management perspective. We work to promote the sharing within the Group of information and expertise concerning any operational incidents and the measures implemented to prevent any recurrence.

 

Efforts to upgrade the management of operations risk continue with the aim of providing our customers with a variety of high-quality services.

Information Asset Risk Management

 

Information asset risk refers to the risk of loss caused by loss, alteration, falsification or leakage of information, or by destruction, disruption, errors or misuse of information systems, as well as risks similar to this risk. In order to ensure proper handling of information and prevent loss or leakage of information, our major banking subsidiaries strive to better manage and reduce such risks through the appointment of managers with

specific responsibilities for information security issues, the establishment of internal procedures, training courses designed for all staff, and the implementation of measures to ensure stable IT systems control. We have also formulated the Personal Information Protection Policy as the basis for ongoing programs to protect the confidentiality of personal information.

 

Systems planning, development and operations include appropriate design and extensive testing phases to ensure that systems are designed to help prevent failures while providing sufficient safeguards for the security of personal information. The status of the development of any mission-critical IT systems is reported regularly to senior management. We have developed disaster countermeasures systems and have also been investing in duplication of the Group’s IT infrastructure to minimize damage in the event of any system failure. Emergency drills are conducted to help increase staff preparedness.

 

With the aim of preventing any recurrence, we also work to promote sharing of information within the Group related to the causes of any loss or leakage of information, or system failure.

 

Compliance

 

Basic Policy

 

The MUFG Group’s policy is to strictly observe laws, regulations and internal rules, and conduct its business in a fair, trustworthy and highly transparent manner based on the Group’s management philosophy of obtaining the trust and confidence of society as a whole. Furthermore, we have established an ethical framework and code of conduct as the basic ethical guidelines for the Group’s directors and employees. We have expressed our commitment to building a corporate culture in which we act with integrity and fairness in conformity with these guidelines.

 

Despite these measures, in the previous fiscal year, wesome of our Group companies have recently received administrative orders from government authorities in Japan and abroad. We view these actions with the deepest concern. In response, we have been workingWe continue to work to ensure an appropriate compliance structure in Japan and abroad across the MUFG Group to enable sound and appropriate business management.

 

Ethical Framework

 

We, the directors and employees of MUFG, will comply with this Ethical Framework and Code of Conduct as the basis of our daily work, seeking to put into practice the management philosophy of our global comprehensive financial group and to build a corporate culture in which we act with integrity and fairness.

 

1. Establishment of trust

 

We will remain keenly aware of the Group’s social responsibilities and public mission and will exercise care and responsibility in the handling of customer and other information.

 

By conducting sound and appropriate business operations and disclosing corporate information in a timely and appropriate manner we will seek to establish enduring public trust in the Group.

 

2. Putting customers first

 

We will always consider our customers, and through close communication will endeavor to satisfy them and gain their support by providing financial services that best meet their needs.

3. Strict observance of laws, regulations and internal rules

 

We will strictly observe applicable laws, regulations and internal rules, and will conduct our business in a fair and trustworthy manner that conforms to societal norms. As a global comprehensive financial group we will also respect internationally accepted standards.

4. Respect for human rights and the environment

5. Disavowal of anti-social elements

 

We will stand resolutely against any anti-social elements that threaten public order and safety.

 

Compliance Framework

 

Management and coordination of compliance-related matters are the responsibility of separate compliance management divisions established at the holding company and the major subsidiaries. Each compliance management division formulates compliance programs and organizes training courses to promote compliance, and regularly reports to each company’s board of directors and Executive Committee on the status of compliance activities.

 

The holding company and each major subsidiary have also established voluntary committees, such as an Internal Audit and Compliance Committee, where members from outside the Group account for a majority, and a Compliance Committee. Through these measures, we have established a structure for deliberating key issues related to compliance. Additionally, the holding company has the Group Chief Compliance Officer, or CCO, Committee which deliberates important matters related to compliance and compliance-related issues for which the Group should share a common understanding.

 

CCO of Holding Company

 

Directors responsible for compliance at the holding company and the major subsidiaries have been named the CCOs of their respective companies. The CCOs of the major subsidiaries have also been appointed as the deputy CCOs of the holding company to assist the CCO of the holding company. This system promotes the prompt reporting of group-wide compliance-related information to the holding company and also allows the CCO of the holding company to effectively provide compliance-related guidance, advice, and instructions to MUFG Group companies.

 

Group CCO Committee

 

A Group CCO Committee has been established under the Executive Committee of the holding company. The committee consists of the CCO of the holding company as the committee chairman and the CCOs of the major subsidiaries.

 

By timely holding meetings, the Group CCO Committee seeks to promote greater sharing of compliance-related information among the MUFG Group companies and works to strengthen the Group’s incident prevention controls and to help the Group companies respond to unforeseen problems. The Committee also continues to strive to improve compliance systems throughout the Group.

The following diagram summarizes our compliance framework:

 

LOGOLOGO

 

Internal Reporting System and Accounting Auditing Hotline

 

The major subsidiaries have established internal reporting systems that aim to identify compliance issues early so that any problems can be quickly rectified. This system includes an independent external compliance hotline. Furthermore, the holding company has set up an MUFG Group Compliance Helpline that acts in pararellparallel with group-company internal reporting systems and provides a reporting channel for directors and employees of group companies.

 

In addition to these internal reporting systems, the holding company has also established an accounting auditing hotline that provides a means to report any problems related to MUFG accounting.

 

MUFG Accounting Auditing Hotline

 

MUFG has set up an accounting auditing hotline to be used to make reports related to instances of improper practices (violations of laws and regulations) and inappropriate practices, or of practices raising questions about such impropriety or inappropriateness, regarding accounting and internal control or audits related to accounting in Group companies. The reporting process works as follows, and may be carried out via letter or e-mail:

Internal Audit

 

The Role of Internal Audit

 

Internal audit functions within MUFG seek to provide independent verification of the adequacy and effectiveness of internal control systems. This includes monitoring the status of risk management and compliance systems, which are critical to the maintenance of sound and appropriate business operations. Internal audit results are reported to senior management. An additional role forof internal audit is to make suggestions to help improve or rectify any issues or specific problems that are identified.

 

Group Internal Audit Framework

 

The board of directors at the holding company level has instituted MUFG’s internal audit policy to define the policy, function and organizational position of internal audits. Separate internal audit divisions have been created within the holding company and the major group subsidiaries (the Internal Audit Division at the holding company, the Internal Audit & Credit Examination Division at BTMU and the Audit Division at MUTB, and the Internal Audit Division at MUS) to conduct internal audits based on this policy. These divisions perform the core internal audit functions of the Group.certain subsidiaries. Through close cooperation and collaboration betweenamong the internal audit divisions in each of the four companies,these subsidiaries, these internal audit divisions provide coverage for the entire group and also support the board of directors in monitoring and overseeing all MUFG operations.

The boards of directors of BTMU, MUTB and MUS have also formulated separate internal audit policies consistent with MUFG’s internal audit policy. This arrangement ensures that a consistent and integrated internal audit framework applies to all MUFG operations, including subsidiaries of the major group subsidiaries.

 

In addition to having primary responsibility for initiating and preparing plans and proposals related to internal audits of the entire group, the Internal Audit Division at the holding company monitors and, as necessary, guides, advises and administers the internal audit divisions of subsidiaries and affiliated companies. The internal audit divisions within the major subsidiaries conduct audits of the respective head office and branch operations of these companies. In addition, each of these three internal audit divisions undertakes direct audits of their respective subsidiaries, and monitors and oversees the separate internal audit functions established within them. This helps to evaluate and verify the adequacy and effectiveness of internal controls within MUFG on a consolidated basis.

 

Implementing EfficientEffective and EffectiveEfficient Internal Audits

 

To ensure that internal audit processes use available resources with optimal efficiencyeffectiveness and effectiveness,efficiency, the internal audit divisions implement risk-focused internal audits in which the nature and magnitude of the associated risks are considered in determining audit priorities and the frequency and depth of internal audit activities. The internal audit divisions ensure that audit personnel attend key meetings, collect important internal control documents and access databases to facilitate efficient off-site monitoring.

Measures to EnhanceThe Independence of Internal Audit Independence and Supervision by the Boards of DirectorsDivisions

 

To strengthen the respective boards of directors’ monitoring and supervision of operational execution status and to enhance the independence of the internal audit divisions, the holding company BTMU, MUTB and MUSthe major subsidiaries have established internal audit and compliance committees that are chaired by external directors.committees. These committees receive direct reports from the internal audit divisions on important internal audit-related matters, including the results of all internal audits and basic policies for planning internal auditing plans requiring board approval.audits. The deliberations of the internal audit and compliance committees concerning such matters are then reported to the respective boards of directors. This structure is intended to enhance the independence of internal audit functions from functions responsible for business execution.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, MUFG’s principal executive and principal financial officers, and effected by MUFG’s board of directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with US GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of MUFG;

(i)pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of MUFG;

 

(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of MUFG are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of MUFG; and

(ii)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of MUFG are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of MUFG; and

(iii)provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of MUFG’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Our management evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 20082010 based on the criteria established in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on the evaluation, management has concluded that MUFG maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008.2010.

 

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 20082010 has been audited by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu LLC, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report, presented on page 159.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc.

(Kabushiki Kaisha Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group):

 

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (Kabushiki Kaisha Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group) (“MUFG”) and subsidiaries (together, the “MUFG Group”) as of March 31, 2008,2010, based on the criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The MUFG Group’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the MUFG Group’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

The MUFG Group’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the MUFG Group’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the MUFG Group’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The MUFG Group’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the MUFG Group; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the MUFG Group are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the MUFG Group; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the MUFG Group’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

In our opinion, the MUFG Group maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008,2010, based on the criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

 

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of the MUFG Group as of March 31, 20072009 and 2008,2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity from nonowner sources,

shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 20082010 (all

expressed in Japanese Yen) and our report dated September 18, 2008August 16, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and included explanatory paragraphs relating to i)(i) the merger with UFJ Holdings, Inc., ii)restatement of the restatementconsolidated statements of cash flows for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008 and 2009 discussed in Note 35 to the consolidated financial statements, (ii) the restatements discussed in Notes 5 7, 11, 18, 22, 25 and 267 to the consolidated financial statements, and iii)(iii) the changes in methods of accounting for a) conditional asset retirement obligations, b) pension and other postretirement plans, c) stock-based compensation, d)(a) uncertainty in income taxes, and e)(b) leveraged leases, (c) defined benefit pension and other post retirement plans, (d) fair value measurements, (e) fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities, (f) noncontrolling interests, and (g) other-than-temporary impairments on investment securities all described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.

Item 16G.Corporate Governance.

The New York Stock Exchange, or the expirationNYSE, allows NYSE-listed companies that are foreign private issuers, such as MUFG, with certain exceptions, to follow home-country practices in lieu of the corporate governance practices followed by US companies pursuant to the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual. The following sections summarize the significant differences between MUFG’s corporate governance practices and those followed by US listed companies under the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual.

1. A NYSE-listed US company must have a majority of directors that meet the independence requirements under Section 303A of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual.

As of July 31, 2010, MUFG has three outside directors as members of its board of directors. For companies employing the corporate auditor system such as MUFG, the task of overseeing the management of the company is assigned to the corporate auditors as well as the board of directors. At least half of the corporate auditors are required to be an “outside corporate auditor” as defined below.

Under the Company Law, an “outside director” is defined as a director who has not served as an executive director(gyomu shikko torishimariyaku), executive officer(shikkoyaku), manager(shihainin) or any other type of employee of the relevant company or any of its subsidiaries prior to his or her appointment.

For MUFG and other large Japanese companies employing a corporate governance system based on a board of corporate auditors, the Company Law has no independence or similar requirement with respect to directors. In December 2009, the Tokyo Stock Exchange adopted a new rule requiring listed companies, including MUFG, to identify at least one individual who the company believes will unlikely have a conflict of interests with general shareholders and have such individual serve as an independent director or corporate auditor.

2. A NYSE-listed US company must have an audit committee composed entirely of independent directors.

Under the Company Law, MUFG and other Japanese companies (excluding companies with committees established pursuant to the Company Law) are not obliged to establish an audit committee.

As discussed above, program, weMUFG employs a corporate auditor system as stipulated by the Company Law. Accordingly, MUFG has established a board of corporate auditors consisting of corporate auditors with a statutory duty to audit MUFG directors’ performance of their professional duties and to review and report on the manner and results of the audit of MUFG’s financial statements, for the benefit of MUFG’s shareholders.

The Company Law requires companies having a board of corporate auditors, including MUFG, to elect at least three corporate auditors through a resolution adopted at a general meeting of shareholders. At least half of the corporate auditors must be an “outside corporate auditor,” which is defined as a corporate auditor who has not served as a director, account assistant, executive officer(shikkoyaku), manager(shihainin), or any other employee of the relevant company or any of its subsidiaries.

As of July 31, 2010, MUFG had five corporate auditors, three of whom are outside corporate auditors.

3. A NYSE-listed US company must have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors.

Under the Company Law, MUFG and other Japanese companies (excluding companies with committees established pursuant to the Company Law) are not obliged to establish a compensation committee.

The maximum aggregate amounts of compensation for MUFG’s directors and corporate auditors are approved at MUFG’s general meeting of shareholders. The amount and allocation of compensation for each MUFG director are then proposed to, and voted upon by, the board of directors. The amount and allocation of compensation for each MUFG corporate auditor are determined through discussions and agreement among MUFG’s corporate auditors.

4. A NYSE-listed US company must have a nominating or corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors.

Under the Company Law, MUFG and other Japanese companies (excluding companies with committees established pursuant to the Company Law) are not obliged to establish a nominating or corporate governance committee.

MUFG’s directors are elected or dismissed at MUFG’s general meeting of shareholders in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Company Law and MUFG’s articles of incorporation. MUFG’s corporate auditors are also elected or dismissed at MUFG’s general meeting of shareholders. A proposal by MUFG’s board of directors to elect a corporate auditor needs the consent of its board of corporate auditors. MUFG’s board of corporate auditors is empowered to adopt a resolution requesting that MUFG’s directors submit a proposal for election of a corporate auditor to MUFG’s general meeting of shareholders.

The corporate auditors have the right to state their opinion concerning the election or dismissal of a corporate auditor at MUFG’s general meeting of shareholders.

5. A NYSE-listed US company must obtain shareholder approval with respect to any equity compensation plan.

Under the Company Law, a public company seeking to issue “stock acquisition rights” (granting the holder thereof the right to acquire from the issuer shares of its stock at a prescribed price) must obtain the approval of its board of directors, not its shareholders.

When stock acquisition rights are issued under terms and conditions that are especially favorable to the recipients thereof, such issuance must be approved by a “special resolution” of a general meeting of shareholders. Under MUFG’s articles of incorporation, the quorum for a special resolution is at least one-third of the total outstanding voting rights, and the approval of at least two-thirds of the voting rights represented at the relevant general meeting of shareholders of MUFG is required to pass a special resolution.

6. A NYSE-listed US company must adopt and disclose Corporate Governance Guidelines and a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and it must also disclose any exemptions granted to directors or executives.

Under the Company Law, the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law of Japan and applicable stock exchange rules, Japanese companies, including MUFG, are not obliged to adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines or a code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers and employees. In order to further enhance its disclosure, however, MUFG has decided to disclose the details of its corporate governance in its Annual Securities Report and related disclosure reports.

MUFG has also adopted any new plana code of ethics, compliance rules and a compliance manual which it believes are compliant with the requirements for a Code of Ethics as set forth under Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. MUFG has disclosed the relevant sections of its code of ethics, compliance rules and compliance manual as an exhibit to this Annual Report. No exemptions from MUFG’s code of ethics, compliance rules or program.compliance manual were granted to its directors or executives during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.

7. A NYSE-listed US company must hold regularly scheduled executive sessions where participants are limited to non-management directors.

Under the Company Law, Japanese corporations are not obliged to hold executive sessions where participants are limited to non-management directors. Such executive sessions are also not required under MUFG’s internal corporate governance rules.

SELECTED STATISTICAL DATA

 

Due to close integration of our foreign and domestic activities, it is difficult to make a precise determination of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of our foreign operations. The foreign operations as presented include the business conducted by overseas subsidiaries and branches, and the international business conducted by the several international banking related divisions headquartered in Japan. Our management believes that the results appropriately represent our domestic and foreign activities.

 

On October 1, 2005, Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group, Inc., or MTFG, merged with UFJ Holdings, Inc., or UFJ Holdings, with MTFG being the surviving entity. Upon consummation of the merger, MTFG changed its name to Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc., or MUFG. The merger was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and the assets and liabilities of UFJ Holdings and its subsidiaries were recorded at fair value as of October 1, 2005. Therefore, numbers as of and for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and 2005 reflect the financial position and results of MTFG and its subsidiaries, or the MTFG Group, only. Numbers as of March 31, 2006 reflect the financial position of MUFG and its subsidiaries, or the MUFG Group, while numbers for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 comprised the results of the MTFG Group for the six months ended September 30, 2005 and the results of the MUFG Group from October 1, 2005 to March 31, 2006. Numbers as of and for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 20082010 reflect the financial position and results of the MUFG Group. See note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for more information.

Note:

(1)Effective April 1, 2009, we adopted new guidance regarding noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries. See “Noncontrolling Interests” under “Accounting Changes” in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for the detail. As a result, we have reclassified average balances of “Non-interest-bearing liabilities” and “Total equity” for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008 and 2009.

The percentage of total average assets attributable to foreign activities was 22.5%28.0%, 23.6%30.1% and 28.6%28.7%, respectively, for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 20072008, 2009 and 2008.2010.

 

The percentage of total average liabilities attributable to foreign activities was 23.2%29.1%, 24.2%31.0% and 29.7%29.3%, respectively, for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 20072008, 2009 and 2008.

As a result, the consumer balancesJapan for regulatory reporting purposes was changed, nonaccrual loans to lease financing companies of ¥28,547 million is included in “Real estate” at March 31, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 do no include those loans to individuals who utilize loan process to finance their proprietor activities and not for their personal financing needs. The balances at2010. In prior periods through March 31, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 were reclassified accordingly.2009, the related balances had been included in “Services.”

Gross interest income which would have been accrued at the original terms on domestic nonaccrual and restructured loans outstanding during the fiscal year ended March 31, 20082010 was approximately ¥87.3¥84.0 billion, of which ¥62.7¥33.0 billion was included in the results of operations for the fiscal year. Gross interest income which

would have been accrued at the original terms on foreign nonaccrual and restructured loans outstanding for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20082010 was approximately ¥5.3¥12.2 billion, of which ¥5.3¥5.8 billion was included in the results of operations for the fiscal year.

 

Foreign Loans Outstanding

 

We had no cross-border outstandings to borrowers in any foreign country which in total exceeded 0.75% of consolidated total assets at March 31, 2006, 20072008, 2009 and 2008.2010. Cross-border outstandings are defined, for this purpose, as loans (including accrued interest), acceptances, interest-earning deposits with other banks, other interest-earning investments and any other monetary assets denominated in Japanese yen or other non-local currencies. Material local currency loans outstanding which are neither hedged nor funded by local currency borrowings are included in cross-border outstandings.

 

Guarantees of outstandings of borrowers of other countries are considered to be outstandings of the guarantor. Loans made to, or deposits placed with, a branch of a foreign bank located outside the foreign bank’s home country are considered to be loans to, or deposits with, the foreign bank. Outstandings of a country do not include principal or interest amounts of which are supported by written, legally enforceable guarantees by guarantors of other countries or the amounts of outstandings to the extent that they are secured by tangible, liquid collateral held and realizable by BTMU, MUTB and their subsidiaries outside the country in which they operate.

 

In addition to credit risk, cross-border outstandings are subject to country risk that as a result of political or economic conditions in a country, borrowers may be unable or unwilling to pay principal and interest according to contractual terms. Other risks related to cross-border outstandings include the possibility of insufficient foreign exchange and restrictions on its availability.

 

In order to manage country risk, we establish various risk management measures internally. Among other things, we regularly monitor economic conditions and other factors globally and assess country risk in each country where we have cross-border exposure. For purposes of monitoring and controlling the amount of credit exposed to country risk, we set a country limit, the maximum amount of credit exposure for an individual country, in consideration of the level of country risk and our ability to bear such potential risk. We also determine our credit policy for each country in accordance with our country risk level and our business plan with regard to the country. Assessment of country risk, establishment of country limits, and determination of country credit policies are subject to review and approval by our senior management and are updated periodically.

 

Loan Concentrations

 

At March 31, 2008,2010, there were no concentrations of loans to a single industry group of borrowers, as defined by the Bank of Japan industry segment loan classifications, which exceeded 10% of our consolidated total loans, except for loans in a category disclosed in the table of loans outstanding above.

 

Credit Risk Management

 

We have a credit rating system, under which borrowers and transactions are graded on a worldwide basis. We calculate probability of default by statistical means and manage our credit portfolio based on this credit rating system. For a detailed description of this system and other elements of our risk management structure, see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Credit, Market and Other Risk—Credit Risk Management.”

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc.

(Kabushiki Kaisha Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group):

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (Kabushiki Kaisha Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group) (“MUFG”) and subsidiaries (together, the “MUFG Group”) as of March 31, 20072009 and 2008,2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity from nonowner sources, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 20082010 (all expressed in Japanese Yen). These financial statements are the responsibility of MUFG’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the MUFG Group as of March 31, 20072009 and 2008,2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2008,2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

As discussed in Note 235 to the consolidated financial statements, on October 1, 2005, Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group, Inc. merged with UFJ Holdings, Inc.the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008 and was renamed MUFG.

2009 have been restated. As discussed in the respective footnotesNotes 5 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements, certain disclosures in Notes 5, 7, 11, 18, 22, 25loans and 26premises and equipment disclosure information have been restated.

 

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, MUFG changed its method of accounting for conditional asset retirement obligations in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, its methods of accounting for pension and other postretirement plans and stock-based compensation in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 and its methods of accounting for uncertainty in income taxes and leveraged leases in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.2008, its methods of accounting for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans (measurement date provision), fair value measurements, and fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, and its methods of accounting for noncontrolling interests and other-than-temporary impairments on investment securities in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.

 

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), MUFG Group’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008,2010, based on the criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated September 18, 2008August 16, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on MUFG Group’s internal control over financial reporting.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). In certain respects, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect adjustments which are not included in the consolidated financial statements issued by MUFG and certain of its subsidiaries in accordance with applicable statutory requirements and accounting practices in their respective countries of incorporation. The major adjustments include those relating to (1) investment securities, (2) derivative financial instruments, (3) allowance for credit losses, (4) income taxes, (5) consolidation, (6) premises and equipment, (7) transfer of financial assets, (8) accrued severance indemnities and pension liabilities, (9) goodwill and other intangible assets and (10) lease transactions.

 

Fiscal periods of certain subsidiaries, which end on or after December 31, and MUFG’s fiscal year, which ends on March 31, have been treated as coterminous. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 20072008, 2009 and 2008,2010, the effect of recording intervening events for the three-month periods ended March 31 on MUFG’s proportionate equity in net income of subsidiaries with fiscal periods ended on or after December 31, would have resulted in an increase of ¥8.63¥14.02 billion to net income, a decreaseloss, an increase of ¥0.20¥2.42 billion to net incomeloss and an increase of ¥14.02¥3.90 billion to net loss,income, respectively. No intervening events occurred during each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2006, 20072008, 2009 and 20082010 which, if recorded, would have had material effects to consolidated total assets, loans, total liabilities, deposits or total shareholders’ equity as of March 31, 2006, 20072008, 2009 and 2008.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near termmanagement judgment primarily relate to the allowance for credit losses on loans and off-balance-sheet credit instruments, valuation allowances of deferred tax assets, tax reserves, valuation of financial instruments, with no available market prices, goodwill, intangible assets, investment securities and accrued severance indemnities and pension liabilities.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Significant accounting policies applied in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are summarized below:

 

Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MUFG and its subsidiaries (together, the “MUFG Group”) over which control is exercised through either majority ownership of voting stock and/or other means, including, but not limited to, the possession of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of entities. In situations in which the MUFG Group has less than 100% but greater than 50% of ownership in entities, such entities are consolidated and minoritynoncontrolling interests are also recorded in Other liabilities.Total equity. Intercompany items have been eliminated. Investments in affiliated companies (companies over which the MUFG Group has the ability to exercise significant influence) are accounted for by the equity method of accounting and are reported in Other assets. The MUFG Group’s equity interestsinterest in the earnings of these equity investees and gains or losses realized on disposition of such investments are reported in Equity in earnings (losses)losses of equity method investees.

 

Variable interest entities are consolidated when the MUFG Group has a variable interest that will absorb a majority of the entity’s expected losses, receive a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, or both. See Note 26.25 for the details of variable interest entities.

 

Assets that the MUFG Group holds in an agency, fiduciary or trust capacity are not assets of the MUFG Group and, accordingly, are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

Cash Flows—For the purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as those amounts included in the consolidated balance sheets under the caption Cash and due from banks with original maturities of 90 days or less. Cash flows from qualified hedging activities are classified in the same category as the items being hedged.

 

Translation of Foreign Currency Financial Statements and Foreign Currency Transactions—Financial statements of overseas entities are translated into Japanese yen using the respective fiscal year-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange for the respective fiscal periods.

 

Except for overseas entities located in highly inflationary economies, foreignForeign currency translation gains and losses related to the financial statements of overseas entities of the MUFG Group, net of related income tax effects, are credited or charged directly to Foreign currency translation adjustments, a component of accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources. Tax effects of gains and losses on foreign currency translation of financial statements of overseas entities are not recognized unless it is apparent that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future. If applicable, foreign exchange translation gains and losses pertaining to entities located in highly inflationary economies are recorded in Foreign exchange gains (losses)—net, as appropriate. For these entities, premises and equipment and the related depreciation and amortization thereof are translated at exchange rates prevailing at dates of acquisition.

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Foreign currency denominatedcurrency-denominated assets and liabilities are translated into the functional currencies of the individual entities included in consolidation at the respective fiscal year-end foreign exchange rates. Foreign currency denominatedcurrency-denominated income and expenses are translated using average rates of exchange for the respective fiscal periods. Gains and losses from such translation are included in Foreign exchange gains (losses)—net, as appropriate.

 

Repurchase Agreements, Securities Lending and Other Secured Financing Transactions—Securities sold with agreements to repurchase (“repurchase agreements”), securities purchased with agreements to resell (“resale agreements”) and securities lending and borrowing transactions are accounted for as secured financing or lending transactions, if the control over the securities is not surrendered. If they meet the relevant conditions for the

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

surrender of control, they are accounted for as sales of securities with related off-balance-sheetoff-balance sheet forward repurchase commitments or purchases of securities with related off-balance-sheetoff-balance sheet forward resale commitments, if they meetcommitments. For the relevant conditionsfiscal years ended March 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, there were no such transactions accounted for the surrender of control as provided by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125.” If the conditions are not met, the transactions are treated as secured financing or lending.sales.

 

Collateral—For secured lending transactions, including resale agreements, securities borrowing transactions, commercial lending and derivative transactions, the MUFG Group, as a secured party, generally has the right to require the counterparties to provide collateral, including letters of credit, cash, securities and other financial assets. For most securities lending transactions, the MUFG Group maintains strict levels of collateralization governed by daily mark-to-market analysis. Financial assets pledged as collateral are generally negotiable financial instruments and are permitted to be sold or repledged by secured parties. If the MUFG Group sells these financial assets received as collateral, it recognizes the proceeds from the sale and its obligation to return the collateral. For secured borrowing transactions, principally repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions and derivative transactions, where the secured party has the right to sell or repledge financial assets pledged as collateral, the MUFG Group separately discloses those financial assets pledged as collateral in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Trading Account Securities—Securities and money market instruments held in anticipation of short-term market movements and for resale to customers are included in Trading account assets, and short trading positions of these instruments are included in Trading account liabilities. Trading positions are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets and recorded on a trade date basis. Changes in the fair value of trading positions are recognized currently in Trading account profits—profits (losses)—net, as appropriate. The MUFG Group has elected fair value option accounting for certain foreign securities. See Note 31 for a further discussion of fair value option accounting.

 

Investment Securities—Debt securities for which the MUFG Group has both the ability and positive intent to hold to maturity are classified as Securities being held to maturity and carried at amortized cost. Debt securities that the MUFG Group may not hold to maturity and marketable equity securities, other than those classified as Trading account securities, are classified as Securities available for sale,available-for-sale, and are carried at their fair values, with unrealized gains and losses reported on a net-of-tax basis within accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources, which is a component of shareholders’ equity. Other investment securities include nonmarketable equity securities carried at their acquisition costs, and also securities held by subsidiaries that are investment companies or brokers and dealers in securities. Such securities held by those subsidiaries are not within the scope of SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” and are subject to the specialized industry accounting principles for investment companies and brokers and dealers in AICPA Audit and Accounting Guides for “Investment Companies” and “Brokers and Dealers in Securities” (the “AICPA Guides”)securities applicable for those subsidiaries. Securities of those subsidiaries are carried at their fair values.

 

Individual debt and equity securities are written down to fair value with the resulting losses charged to operations when, in the opinion of management, a decline in estimated fair value below the cost of such securities is other than temporary. Such impairment loss is included in Investment securities gains (losses)—net

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

in the consolidated statements of operations. In determining other than temporary declines in fair value to be recognized as an impairment loss on investment securities, the MUFG Group generally considers factors such as the ability and positive intent to hold the investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value, the financial condition of the issuer, the extent of decline in fair value, and the length of time that the decline in fair value below cost has existed. The MUFG Group adopted the new guidance which amends the other than temporary impairment model for debt securities on April 1, 2009. SeeAccounting Changes-Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments and Note 64 for a further discussion of other-than-temporary impairment.discussion. This new guidance did not affect the other than temporary impairment model for equity securities. Interest and dividends on investment securities are reported in Interest income. Dividends are recognized when the shareholders’shareholder right to receive the dividend is established. Gains and losses on disposition of investment securities are computed using the average cost method and are recognized on the trade date.

Derivative Financial Instruments—The MUFG Group engages in derivative activities involving swaps, forwards, futures, options, and other types of derivative contracts. Derivatives are used in trading activities to generate trading revenues and fee income for its own account and to respond to the customers’ financial needs. Derivatives are also used to manage its market risk exposures to fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates, equity and commodity prices, and counterparty credit risk.

 

Derivatives entered into for trading purposes are carried at fair value and are reported as Trading account assets or Trading account liabilities. Fair values are estimated basedPrior to the adoption of new guidance on market or broker-dealer quotes when available. Valuation models such as presentthe measurement of fair value, and pricing models are applied to current market information to estimate fair values when such quotes are not available. Thethe MUFG Group defersdeferred trade date gains or losses on derivatives where the fair values of those derivatives arewere not obtained from a quoted market price, supported by comparison to other observable market transactions, or based upon a valuation technique incorporatingwhich incorporated observable market data. SeeAccounting Changes—Fair Value Measurementsfor details related to adoption of the new guidance on the measurement of fair value. The fair values of derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty under legally enforceable master netting agreements are presented on a netgross basis. Changes in the fair value of such contracts are recognized currently in Foreign exchange gains (losses)—net with respect to foreign exchange contracts and in Trading account profits—profits (losses)—net with respect to interest rate contracts and other types of contracts.

 

Embedded features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contracts and meet the definition of derivatives are separated from the host contracts and measured at fair value unless the contracts embedding the derivatives are measured at fair value in their entirety.

 

Derivatives are also used to manage exposures to fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates arising from mismatches of asset and liability positions. Certain of those derivatives are designated by the MUFG Group and qualify for hedge accounting. A derivative is designated as a hedging instrument at the inception of each such hedge relationship and the MUFG Group documents, for such individual hedging relationships, the risk management objective and strategy, including identifying the item being hedged, identifying the specific risk being hedged and the method used to assess the hedge’s effectiveness. In order for a hedging relationship to qualify for hedge accounting, the changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments must be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair values or variable cash flows of the hedged items attributable to the risk being hedged. Any ineffectiveness, which arises during the hedging relationship, is recognized in Non-interest income or expense in the period in which it arises. All qualifying hedging derivatives are valued at fair value and included in Other assets or Other liabilities. The fair values of derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty under legally enforceable master netting agreements are presented on a netgross basis. For fair value hedges of interest-bearing assets or liabilities, the change in the fair value of the hedged item and the hedging instruments is recognized in net interest income to the extent that it is effective. For all other fair value hedges, the change in the fair value of the hedged item and change in fair value of the derivative are recognized in non-interest income or expense. For cash flow hedges, the unrealized changes in fair value to the extent effective are recognized in accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources. Amounts realized on cash flow hedges related to variable rate loans are recognized in net interest income in the period when the cash flow from

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

the hedged item is realized. The fair value of cash flow hedges related to forecasted transactions, if any, is recognized in non-interest income or expense in the period when the forecasted transaction occurs. Any difference that arises from gains or losses on hedging derivatives offsetting corresponding gains or losses on the hedged items, and gains and losses on derivatives attributable to the risks excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness are recognized in non-interest income or expense. Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are considered trading positions and are accounted for as such.

 

Loans—Loans originated by the MUFG Group (“originated loans”) are carried at the principal amount outstanding, adjusted for unearned income and deferred net nonrefundable loan fees and costs. Originated loans held and intended for dispositions or sales in secondary markets are transferred to the held-for-sale classification and carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value generally on an individual loan basis. Loan origination

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized over the contractual life of the loan as an adjustment of yield using the method that approximates the interest method. Interest income on loans that are not impaired is accrued and credited to interest income as it is earned. Unearned income and discounts or premiums on purchased loans are deferred and recognized over the contractual lives of the loans using a method that approximates the interest method when such purchased loans are outside the scope of Statement of Position (“SOP”) 03-3 issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”), “Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer,”guidance on loans and debt securities acquired with deteriorated credit quality as described below.

 

Originated loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the MUFG Group will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Originated loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

 

Originated loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when substantial doubt exists as to the full and timely collection of either principal or interest, or when principal or interest is contractually past due one month or more with respect to loans of domestic banking subsidiaries, including BTMU and MUTB, and 90 days or more with respect to loans of certain foreign banking subsidiaries. A nonaccrual loan may be restored to an accrual status when interest and principal payments become current and management expects that the borrower will make future contractual payments as scheduled. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, interest accrued but not received is generally reversed against interest income. Cash receipts on nonaccrual loans, for which the ultimate collectibility of principal is uncertain, are applied as principal reductions; otherwise, such collections are credited to income. The MUFG Group does not capitalize any accrued interest in the principal balances of impaired loans at each balance sheet date.

 

In accordance with SOP 03-3 adopted by the MUFG Groupguidance on April 1, 2005,loans and debt securities acquired with deteriorated credit quality, impaired loans acquired for which it is probable that the MUFG Group will be unable to collect all contractual receivables are initially recorded at the present value of amounts expected to be received and the related valuation allowances are not carried over or created initially. Accretable yield is limited to the excess of the investor’s estimate of undiscounted cash flows over the investor’s initial investment in the loan and subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be collected are recognized prospectively through adjustment of the loan’s yield over its remaining

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

life after reduction of any remaining allowance for credit losses for the loan established after its acquisition, if any, while any decrease in such cash flows below those initially expected at acquisition plus additional cash flows expected to be collected arising from changes in estimate after acquisition are recognized as impairments.

 

Loan Securitization—The MUFG Group securitizes and services commercial and industrial loans in the normal course of business. The MUFG Group accounts for a transfer of loans in a securitization transaction as a sale if it meets relevant conditions for the surrender of control in accordance with SFAS No. 140.control. Otherwise, the transfer is accounted for as a collateralized borrowing transaction. Interests in loans sold through a securitization accounted for as a sale may be retained in the form of subordinated tranches or beneficial interests. These retained interests are primarily recorded in Securities available for sale. The previous carrying amount of the loans involved in the transfer is allocated between the loans sold and the retained interests based on their relative fair values at the date of the

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

securitization. Since quoted market prices are generally not available, the MUFG Group usually estimates fair value of these retained interests based on the present value of future expected cash flows by using modeling techniques that involve management’s best estimates of key assumptions, which may include default rates, recovery rates, and discount rates. Retained interests that can contractually be prepaid or otherwise settled in such a way that the MUFG Group would not recover substantially allSeeAccounting Changes—Fair Value Measurementsand Note 31 for details of its investment are accounted for as investment securities available for sale.fair value measurements.

 

Allowance for Credit Losses—The MUFG Group maintains an allowance for credit losses to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Actual credit losses (amounts deemed uncollectible, in whole or in part), net of recoveries, are deducted from the allowance for credit losses, as net charge-offs, generally based on detailed loan reviews and a credit assessment by management at each balance sheet date. The MUFG Group generally applies its charge-off policy to all loans in its portfolio regardless of the type of borrower. AThe provision for credit losses, which is a charge against earnings, is added to bring the allowance to a level which, in management’s opinion, is adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the credit portfolio.

 

A key element relating to the policies and discipline used in determining the allowance for credit losses is the credit classification and the related borrower categorization process. The categorization is based on conditions that may affect the ability of borrowers to service their debt, taking into consideration current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, analyses of relevant industry segments and current trends. In determining the appropriate level of the allowance, the MUFG Group evaluates the probable loss by category of loan based on its type and characteristics.

 

The allowance for credit losses for non-homogeneous loans consists of an allocated allowance for specifically identified problem loans, an allocated allowance for country risk exposure, a formula allowance and an unallocated allowance. An allocated allowance is also established for large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans. Non-homogeneous loans such as commercial loans are evaluated individually and the allowance for such loans is comprised of specific, country risk, formula and unallocated allowances.

 

The credit loss allowance for individual customers represents the impairment allowance determined in accordance with SFAS No. 114, “Accountingthe guidance on accounting by Creditorscreditors for Impairmentimpairment of a Loan.”loan. The MUFG Group measures the impairment of a loan, with the exception of large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment, based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or on the loan’s observable market price, or based on the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, when it is probable that the MUFG Group will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. For certain subsidiaries, some impaired loans are aggregated for the purpose of measuring impairment using historical loss factors. Generally, the MUFG Group’s impaired loans include nonaccrual loans, restructured loans and other loans specifically identified as impaired.

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

The credit loss allowance for country risk exposure is a country-specific allowance for substandard, special mention and unclassified loans. The allowance is established to supplement the formula allowance for these loans, based on an estimate of probable losses relating to the exposure to countries that are identified by management to have a high degree of transfer risk. The measure is generally based on a function of default probability and the recovery ratio with reference to external credit ratings. For the allowance for specifically identified cross-border problem loans, the MUFG Group incorporates transfer risk in its determination of related allowance for credit losses.

 

The formula allowance is calculated for groups of loans collectively evaluated for impairmentsimpairment that cannot be attributed to specific loans by applying loss factors to outstanding substandard, special mention and unclassified loans. The evaluation of inherent loss for these loans involves a high degree of uncertainty, subjectivity and judgment. In determining the formula allowance, the MUFG Group, therefore, relies on a statistical analysis that incorporates historical loss factor percentages of total loans outstanding. Corresponding to the periodic impairment identification and self-assessment process, the estimation of the formula allowance is back-tested by

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

comparing the allowance with the actual results subsequent to the balance sheet date. The results of such back-testing are evaluated by management to determine whether the manner and level of formula allowance needneeds to be changed in subsequent years.

 

The unallocated allowance represents an estimate of additional losses inherent in the loan portfolio and is composed of attribution factors, which are based upon management’s evaluation of various conditions that are not directly or indirectly measured in the determination of the allocated allowance. The conditions evaluated in connection with the unallocated allowance may include existing general economic and business conditions affecting the key lending areas of the MUFG Group, credit quality trends, collateral values, loan volumes and concentrations, seasoning of the loan portfolio, specific industry conditions within portfolio segments, recent loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio, duration of the current business cycle, bank regulatory examination results and findings of the MUFG Group’s internal credit examiners.

 

The credit loss allowance for large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans is focused on loss experience for the pool rather than on a detailed analysis of individual loans. The allowance is determined primarily based on probable net charge-offs and the probability of insolvency based on the number of delinquencies.

Allowance for Off-Balance-Sheet Credit Instruments—The MUFG Group maintains an allowance for credit losses on off-balance-sheet credit instruments, including commitments to extend credit, guarantees, standby letters of credit and other financial instruments. The allowance is recorded as a liability in Other liabilities and includes the specific allowance for specifically identified credit exposure and the allocated formula allowance. With regard to the specific allowance for specifically identified credit exposure and allocated formula allowance, theliabilities. The MUFG Group adopts the same methodology used in determining the allowance for loan credit losses. Potential credit losses related to derivatives are considered in the fair valuation of the derivatives.

 

Net changes in the allowance for off-balance-sheet credit instruments are accounted for as Other non-interest expenses.

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Premises and Equipment—Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the terms of the respective leases or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. MUFG, BTMU and MUTB apply the declining-balance method in depreciating their premises and equipment, while other subsidiaries mainly apply the straight-line method, at rates principally based on the following estimated useful lives:

 

   Years

Buildings

  15 to 50

Equipment and furniture

  2 to 20

Leasehold improvements

  73 to 39

 

Maintenance, repairs and minor improvements are charged to operations as incurred. Major improvements are capitalized. Net gains or losses on dispositions of premises and equipment are included in Other non-interest income or expense, as appropriate.

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value. For purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment loss, a long-lived asset or assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level with independent and identifiable cash flows. Assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less estimated cost to sell.

 

Asset retirement obligations related to restoration of certain leased properties upon lease termination are recorded in Other liabilities with a corresponding increase in leasehold improvements. The amounts represent the

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

present value of expected future cash flows associated with returning such leased properties to their original condition. The difference between the gross and present value of expected future cash flows is accreted over the life of the related leases as a non-interest expense.

 

GoodwillTheBefore April 1, 2009, the MUFG Group reportshad recognized goodwill, as of the acquisition date, measured as the excess of the cost of investments in subsidiaries over its share of the fair value of net assets. After the adoption of new guidance on accounting for business combinations on April 1, 2009, the MUFG Group recognizes goodwill, as of the acquisition date, measured as the excess of fair value, including that of noncontrolling interests, over net assets atof the date of acquisition as Goodwill.acquiree. Goodwill related to investments in equity method investees is included in Other assets as a part of the carrying amount of investments in equity method investees.

 

Goodwill arising from a business combination is not amortized but is tested at least annually for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”impairment. Goodwill is recorded at a designated reporting unit level for the purpose of assessing impairment. A reporting unit is an operating segment, or an identified business unit one level below an operating segment. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Intangible assets—Intangible assets consist of software, core deposit intangibles, customer relationships, trade names and other intangible assets. These are amortized over their estimated useful lives unless they have indefinite useful lives. Amortization of intangible assets is computed in a manner that best reflects the economic benefits of the intangible assets as follows:

 

   Useful lives
(years)
  

Amortization method

Software

  2 to 10  Straight-line

Core deposit intangibles

  45 to 1819  Declining-balance

Customer relationships

  512 to 3027  Declining-balance

Trade names

  65 to 40  Straight-line

 

Intangible assets having indefinite useful lives, primarily certain customer relationships, are not amortized but are subject to annual impairment tests. An impairment exists if the carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value. For other intangible assets subject to amortization, an impairment is recognized if the carrying amount is not recoverable and the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the intangible asset.

 

The MUFG Group capitalizes certain costs associated with the acquisition or development of internal-use software. Costs subject to capitalization are salaries and employee benefits for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to the internal-use computer software project, to the extent of time spent directly on the project. Once the software is ready for its intended use, the MUFG Group begins to amortize capitalized costs on a straight-line basis.

 

Accrued Severance and Pension Liabilities—The MUFG Group has defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans, including severance indemnities plans. The liabilities related to these plans are computed and recognized based on actuarial computations. Unrecognized netNet actuarial gains and losses that arise from differences between actual experiencesexperience and assumptions are generally amortized over the average remaining service period of participating employees if it exceeds the corridor, which is defined as the greater of 10% of plan assets or the projected benefit obligation. PriorUnder the guidance related to employers’ accounting for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans, the adoptionMUFG Group recognizes a net liability or asset to report the funded status of SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pensionits defined benefit pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R),” an excess of the accumulated benefit obligation over the plan assets was recognizedother postretirement plans in the consolidated balance sheets asand recognizes changes in the minimum liability,funded status of defined benefit pension and a corresponding intangible assets was recognized up toother postretirement plans in the amount equal toyear in

Long-Term Debt—Premiums, discounts and issuance costs of long-term debt are amortized based on the method that approximates the interest method over the terms of the long-term debt.

 

Obligations under Guarantees—The MUFG Group provides customers with a variety of guarantees and similar arrangements, including standby letters of credit, financial and performance guarantees, credit protections, and liquidity facilities. The MUFG Group recognizes guarantee fee income over the guarantee period based on the contractual terms of the guarantee contracts. It is the MUFG Group’s dominant business practice to

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

receive a guarantee fee at the inception of the guarantee, which approximates market value of the guarantee and is initially recorded as a liability, which is then recognized as guarantee fee income ratably over the guarantee period.

 

Allowance for repayment of excess interest—The MUFG Group maintains an allowance for repayment of excess interest under SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” based on an analysis of past experience of reimbursement of excess interest, borrowers’ profile and recent trend of borrowers’ demand for reimbursement. The allowance is recorded as a liability in Other liabilities.

 

Fees and Commissions—Revenue recognition of major components of fees and commissions is as follows:

Fees on funds transfer and collection services, service charges on deposit accounts, fees and commissions on securities business, fees on real estate business, insurance commissions, fees and commissions on stock transfer agency services, fees on investment funds business, and fees and commissions from investment bankingother services are generally recognized as revenue when the related services are performed.performed or recognized over the period that the service is provided.

 

 Ÿ 

Fees from trade-related financing services are recognized over the period of the financing.

 

 Ÿ 

Trust fees are recognized on an accrual basis, generally based on the volume of trust assets under management and/or the operating performance for the accounting period of each trust account. With respect to trust accounts with guarantee of trust principal, trust fees are determined based on the profits earned by individual trust account during the trust accounting period, less deductions, including provision for reserve, impairment for individual investments and dividends paid to beneficiary certificate holders. The trust fees for these trust accounts are accrued based on the amounts expected to be earned during the accounting period of each trust account.

 

 Ÿ 

Annual fees and royalty and other service charges related to credit card business are recorded on a straight-line basis as services are provided.

 

 Ÿ 

Interchange income from credit card business is recognized as billed.

 

 Ÿ 

Fees on guarantees are generally recognized over the contractual periods of the respective guarantees. Amounts initially recorded as a liability corresponding to the obligations at fair value are generally recognized as revenue over the terms of the guarantees as the MUFG Group is deemed to be released from the risk under guarantees.

 

Ÿ

Service charges on deposit accounts, and fees and commissions from other services are generally recognized over the period that the service is provided.

Income Taxes—The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (1) temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes

and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and (2) operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is recognized for any portion of the deferred tax assets where it is considered more likely than not that it will not be realized. The provision for deferred taxes is based on the change in the net deferred tax asset or liability during the fiscal year.

 

Free Distributions of Common Shares—As permitted by the Commercial Code of Japan (the “Code”) and as revised under the Company Law, Japanese companies, upon approval by the Board of Directors, may make a free distribution of shares, in the form of a “stock split” as defined, to shareholders. In accordance with generally accepted accounting practice in Japan, such distribution does not give rise to any change in capital stock or capital surplus accounts. Common shares distributed are recorded as shares issued on the distribution date. See Note 20.

Earnings (Loss) per Common Share—Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) excludes dilutive effects of potential common shares and is computed by dividing income available to common stock shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, while diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. See Note 2322 for the computation of basic and diluted EPS.

 

Treasury Stock—The MUFG Group presents its treasury stock, including shares of MUFG owned by its subsidiaries and affiliated companies, as a reduction of shareholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheets at cost and accounts for treasury stock transactions under an average cost method. Gains (losses) on sales of the treasury stock are charged to capital surplus.surplus, and unappropriated retained earnings.

 

Comprehensive Income (Loss)The MUFG Group’s comprehensiveComprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) before attribution to noncontrolling interests and other changes in equity from nonowner sources. All changes in unrealized gains and losses on investment securities, available for sale, unrealized gains and losses on derivatives qualifying for cash flow hedges, pension liability adjustments and foreign currency translation adjustments constitute the MUFG Group’s changes in equity from nonowner sources and are presented, with related income tax effects, in the consolidated statements of changes in equity from nonowner sources.

 

Stock-Based Compensation—MUFG and certain of its subsidiaries have stock-based compensation plans,plans. Stock-based compensation expenses are recognized based on the grant-date fair value of share based compensation over the period during which are described more fullyan employee is required to provide service in Note 32. Foraccordance with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, as allowed under SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” compensation expense was recognized usingterms of the intrinsic value-based method of valuing stock options prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinions (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations. Under the intrinsic value-based method, compensation expense was measured as the amount by which the quoted market price of these subsidiaries’ stock at the date of grant exceeded the stock option exercise price. On April 1, 2006, the MUFG Group adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”).plans. SeeAccounting Changes—Share-Based Paymentand Note 32 for further information.

Effective September 30, 2007, MUFG declared a stock split whereby each common and preferred share was split into 1,000 common and preferred shares. As a result, the number of shares and per share information have been retroactively adjusted.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications and format changes have been made to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 20062008 and 20072009 to conform to the presentation for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.

Change in Accounting Estimates

 

MUFG and its domestic subsidiaries have reviewed the salvage values of premises and equipment and decided to change the estimated salvage values of these assets to ¥1 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. Under the provision of SFAS No. 154 “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3,” aA change in salvage values of depreciable assets is treated as a change in accounting estimate. The effect of this change has been reflected on a prospective basis beginning April 1, 2007. This change had an adverse impact on income from continuing operations before income tax expense and net loss attributable to Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group of ¥53 billion and ¥31 billion, respectively, and a corresponding impact on both basic and diluted loss per share of ¥3.04 per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.

 

The MUFG Group periodically updates underlying assumptions to make a current estimate of the allowance for credit losses. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, in addition to such routine update of estimates to reflect current conditions, BTMU adopted an advanced estimation to determine appropriate level of formula allowance, which is estimated based primarily on the default ratio and the recoverable ratio. Previously, the recoverable ratio was computed from the major cases of a default event such as legal bankruptcy. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, BTMU began incorporating other credit events for its recoverable ratio to better reflect broader cases of default. In addition, BTMU made an adjustment for the impact of heterogeneous size of borrowers among its loan portfolio to estimate the appropriate level of the formula allowance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. Since the default ratio is statistically computed by counting one credit event as one regardless of the size of borrowers, BTMU commenced making an additional reserve by looking to the monetary level of past defaults in addition to the number of defaults. TheSimilarly, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, MUTB adopted an advanced estimation to determine appropriate level of formula allowance, which is estimated based primarily on the default ratio and the recoverable ratio. Previously, the recoverable ratio was computed according to the amount of the secured part of the loan or appraisal of the collateral, which was discounted by a certain rate. Due to the accumulation of the historical data, MUTB has begun incorporating the historical recovery data of the unsecured portion of loans and of the respective collateral for its respective recoverable ratios since the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, the effect from those changes had a positive impact on income from continuing operations before income tax expense and net loss attributable to Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group of ¥45 billion and ¥27 billion, respectively, and a corresponding impact on both basic and diluted loss per share of ¥2.60 per share forshare. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.2009, the effect from those changes had a positive impact on loss from continuing operations before income tax benefit and net loss attributable to Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group of ¥104 billion and ¥62 billion, respectively, and a corresponding impact on both basic and diluted loss per share of ¥5.69 per share.

The MUFG Group observed that the market for collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) backed by general corporate loans became significantly inactive compared with normal market activity due to the reduction in liquidity of certain debt securities resulting from the global financial market instability in the second half of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. Under such circumstances, the MUFG Group concluded that the unadjusted non-binding quotes from broker-dealers became less reflective of the fair values for CLOs backed by general corporate loans. Consequently, during the second half of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, the MUFG Group changed the valuation method for estimating the fair value of such CLOs from the method adopting unadjusted quotes from independent broker-dealers to the estimation method by weighting the internal model prices and the non-binding broker-dealer quotes. This change in valuation method was accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimate. See Note 31 for the details of the valuation method.

 

Accounting Changes

 

Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement ObligationsThe Codification and the Hierarchy of GAAPs—In March 2005,June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”voted to approve the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (the “Codification”) No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations—an interpretation. The Codification is not meant to change US GAAP, but is intended to improve the ease of FASB Statement No. 143.” FIN No. 47 clarifies that the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or methodresearching US GAAP

issues. The Codification reorganizes existing US GAAP pronouncements into approximately 90 accounting topics. The Codification is now the single source of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or mayauthoritative US GAAP. On the effective date, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards to become the single source of authoritative non-governmental US GAAP. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. All subsequent standards will be withinissued as “Accounting Standard Updates”, which will serve only to update the control of the entity.Codification. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and/or method of settlement. SFAS No. 143 acknowledges that in some cases, sufficient information may not be available to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. FIN No. 47 also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. FIN No. 47Codification is effective no later than the end of fiscal yearsfor financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after DecemberSeptember 15, 2005. Effective March 31, 2006, the MUFG Group adopted FIN No. 47 to existing asset retirement obligations associated with commitments to return property subject to operating leases to its original condition upon lease termination. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle was to decrease net income by ¥9,662 million. This adjustment represents the cumulative depreciation and accretion that would have been recognized through the date of adoption of FIN No. 47 had the statement applied to the MUFG Group’s existing asset retirement obligations at the time they were initially incurred.

Had the asset retirement obligations been accounted for under FIN No. 47 at the inception of operating leases requiring restoration, the MUFG Group’s net income and net income per share would have been the pro forma amounts indicated in the following table:

Share-Based Payment—In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R. SFAS No. 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, and supersedes APB No. 25. In March 2005, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107, which provides interpretive guidance on SFAS No. 123R. SFAS No. 123 preferred a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees, but it permitted the option of continuing to apply the intrinsic-value-based measurement method in APB No. 25, as long as the footnotes to the financial statements disclosed what net income would have been had the preferable fair-value-based method been used. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the alternative to use the intrinsic value method of accounting and requires entities to recognize the costs of share-based payment transactions with employees based on the grant-date fair value of those awards over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. SFAS No. 123R is effective as of the beginning of the fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2005.2009. The MUFG Group adopted SFAS No. 123R on April 1, 2006 under the modified prospective method, which resulted in a decrease in income from continuing operations before income tax expense of ¥1,969 million and a decrease in income from continuing operations, net of taxes, of ¥1,026 million forCodification during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, which includes

Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158. SFAS No. 158 requires entitiesnew guidance related to recognize a net liability or asset to report the funded status of theiremployers’ accounting for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans in its consolidated statement of financial position and recognize changes in the funded status of defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans in the year in which the changes occur in comprehensive income. SFAS No. 158 alsoplans. The new guidance clarifies that defined benefit assets and obligations should be measured as of the date of the entity’s fiscal year-end statement of financial positions. The requirement to recognize the funded status as of the date of the statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006.consolidated balance sheets. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the statement of financial position isconsolidated balance sheets was effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008.

 

The MUFG Group adopted the recognitionnew measurement date provisions of SFAS No. 158on April 1, 2008 which resulted in an increase in accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources of ¥178,784 million, net of taxes, and had no impact on how the MUFG Group determined its net periodic benefit costs as of March 31, 2007.

The MUFG Group will adoptchanged the measurement date provisions of SFAS No. 158 that changes the measurement date for the plan assets and benefit obligations of BTMU and some of its domestic subsidiaries from December 31 to March 31 beginning on April 1, 2008 by using the approach that remeasuresremeasured plan assets and benefit obligations as of March 31, 2008. The MUFG Group recognized ¥411 million in gains on settlement during the period from January 1, 2008 to March 31, 2008 for the year ended March 31, 2008 and estimatesrecorded a decrease in the beginning balance of retained earnings as of April 1, 2008 by ¥3,890¥132 million, net of taxes, and a decrease in the beginning balance of accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources as of April 1, 2008 by ¥127,816¥131,574 million, net of taxes, fromas a result of adopting this provision. The estimated impact on the beginning balance of the accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources upon adoption of the new measurement date provision of SFAS No. 158provisions as of April 1, 2008 is mainly due to a decrease in the fair value of the plan assets of ¥175,680 million and an increase in benefit obligations of ¥32,382 million, net of ¥4,333 million in settlements during the period from January 1, 2008 to March 31, 2008 recognized as lump-sum payments for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. The increase was caused by a decline in the discount rate from December 31, 2007 to March 31, 2008.

 

Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments.” SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” and resolves issues addressed in SFAS No. 133 Implementation Issue D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.” SFAS No. 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation and clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 155 establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation. SFAS No. 155 also clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives and amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The MUFG Group adopted SFAS No. 155 on April 1, 2007, which did not have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets.” SFAS No. 156 amends SFAS No. 140 with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS No. 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract, and requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS No. 156 permits an entity to choose either the amortization method or the fair value measurement method for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS No. 156 requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS No. 156 is effective for the fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. Earlier adoption is permitted. The MUFG Group adopted SFAS No. 156 on April 1, 2007, which did not have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations.

Determining the Variability to Be Considered in Applying FIN No. 46R—In April 2006, the FASB staff issued an FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) on FIN No. 46R, “Determining the Variability to Be Considered in Applying FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“FSP FIN No. 46R-6”). This FSP states that the variability to be considered in applying FIN No. 46R shall be based on an analysis of the design of the entity as outlined in the following two steps: (a) analyze the nature of the risks in the entity, (b) determine the purpose for which the entity was created and determine the variability (created by the risks identified in step (a)) the entity is designed to create and pass along to its interest holders. For the purposes of this FSP, interest holders include all potential variable interest holders (including contractual, ownership, or other pecuniary interests in the entity). After determining the variability to be considered, the reporting enterprise can determine which interests are designed to absorb that variability. The FSP should be applied prospectively to all entities (including newly created entities) with which an enterprise first becomes involved, and to all entities previously required to be analyzed under FIN No. 46R when a reconsideration event has occurred beginning the first day of the first reporting period beginning after June 15, 2006. Early application is permitted for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. Retrospective application to the date of the initial application of FIN No. 46R is permitted but not required. If retrospective application is elected, it must be completed no later than the end of the first annual reporting period ending after July 15, 2006. The MUFG Group adopted this FSP on April 1, 2007, which did not have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations.

Uncertainty in Income Taxes—In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, “Accountingnew guidance on accounting for Uncertaintyuncertainty in Income Taxes.” FIN No. 48income taxes. This new guidance requires recognition of a tax benefit to the extent of management’s best estimate of the impact of a tax position based on the technical merits of the position, provided it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. FIN No. 48This new guidance also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The MUFG Group adopted FIN No. 48this new guidance on April 1, 2007, which reduced the beginning balance of retained earnings by ¥4,091 million. See Note 11 for additional informationThe MUFG Group classifies accrued interest and penalties, if applicable, related to the adoption of FIN No. 48.income taxes as income tax expenses.

 

Leveraged Leases—In July 2006, the FASB issued an FSPnew guidance on SFAS No. 13, “Accountingaccounting for a Changechange or Projected Changeprojected change in the Timingtiming of Cash Flows Relatingcash flows relating to Income Taxes Generatedincome taxes generated by a Leveraged Lease Transaction.”leveraged lease transaction. This FSPnew guidance requires that if, during the lease term, the projected timing of the income tax cash flows generated by a leveraged lease is revised, the rate of return and the allocation of income shall be recalculated from the inception of the lease. At adoption, the cumulative effect of applying the provisions of this FSPnew guidance shall be reported as an adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the period in which this FSPit is adopted. This FSPnew guidance is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The MUFG Group adopted this FSP on April 1, 2007, which reduced the beginning balance of retained earnings by ¥5,725 million,

adopted this new guidance on April 1, 2007, which reduced the beginning balance of retained earnings by ¥5,725 million, net of taxes. The reduction to retained earnings at adoption will be recognized in interest income over the remaining terms of the affected leases as tax benefits are realized.

 

Fair Value Measurements—In September 2006, the FASB issued new guidance on the measurement of fair value. This new guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In addition, it applies under other accounting topics that require or permit fair value measurements since the FASB previously concluded in those accounting topics that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this new guidance does not require any new fair value measurements. Under the new guidance, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. In support of this principle, a fair value hierarchy is established that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data, for example, the reporting entity’s own data. Fair value measurements are separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. This new guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. It shall be applied prospectively, except for the provisions related to block discounts, and existing derivative and hybrid financial instruments measured at fair value using the transaction price. This new guidance nullifies the guidance which requires the deferral of trade date gains or losses on derivatives where the fair value of those derivatives were not obtained from a quoted market price, supported by comparison to other observable market transactions, or based upon a valuation technique incorporating observable market data. The new guidance also precludes the use of a blockage factor when measuring financial instruments traded in an active market at fair value and requires consideration of nonperformance risk when measuring liabilities at fair value. Effective April 1, 2008, the MUFG Group adopted the new guidance for measurement of fair value. Upon its adoption, the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the derivatives measured under the previous guidance was recognized as a cumulative effect to the beginning balance of retained earnings as of April 1, 2008 in the amount of ¥27,317 million, net of taxes.

In February 2008, the FASB issued new guidance on the application of fair value measurements for purposes of lease classification or measurement and new guidance on the effective date of the application of fair value measurements. The first guidance amends the fair value measurement guidance to exclude lease accounting, and other accounting topics that address fair value measurements for the purposes of lease classification or measurement. However, this scope exception does not apply to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that are required to be measured at fair value, regardless of whether those assets and liabilities are related to leases. The second guidance applies to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in an entity’s financial statements on a recurring basis and defers the effective date of the fair value measurement guidance to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years for those items. The MUFG Group adopted the guidance on April 1, 2008 to all financial assets and liabilities measured and disclosed on a fair value basis, excluding the nonfinancial assets and liabilities. For the nonrecurring nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, including premises and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill measured at fair value for impairment, the MUFG Group adopted the fair value measurement guidance on April 1, 2009. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the MUFG Group’s financial position and results of operations.

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

In October 2008, the FASB issued new guidance to clarify how an entity would determine fair value in a market that is not active. This guidance was effective upon issuance and did not have a material impact on the MUFG Group’s financial position and results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB staff issued an amendment to the fair value measurement guidance, providing additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased, including guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. This amendment requires entities to disclose, in both interim and annual periods, the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and provide by major categories of debt and equity securities, the fair value hierarchy and Level 3 roll-forward disclosures. This amendment was effective prospectively for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The MUFG Group adopted this amendment on April 1, 2009, which had no material impact on its financial position and results of operations.

See Note 31 for a further discussion of the adoption of the new fair value measurement guidance.

Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—In February 2007, the FASB issued new guidance which provided an option for measuring certain financial assets and financial liabilities using fair value. This guidance allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities and certain other items at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that item’s fair value in subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. This guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted subject to certain conditions. The MUFG Group adopted this guidance on April 1, 2008. The MUFG Group elected the fair value option for foreign securities classified as available-for-sale held by BTMU and MUTB in the amount of ¥10,448,079 million, whose unrealized gains and losses were reported within accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources as of March 31, 2008. BTMU and MUTB economically manage, through their asset and liability management activities, risks associated with their foreign currency-denominated financial assets and liabilities related to fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. However, prior to the adoption of this guidance for these securities, gains and losses on translation of these securities were reflected in other changes in equity from nonowner sources, while gains and losses on translation of foreign currency-denominated financial liabilities were included in current earnings. The MUFG Group elected the fair value option for these securities to mitigate accounting mismatches related to fluctuations of foreign exchange rates. As a result of adopting the fair value option on these securities, MUFG recorded an increase in the beginning balance of retained earnings as of April 1, 2008 of ¥20,150 million, net of taxes. In addition, the MUFG Group elected the fair value option for certain financial instruments held by MUS’s foreign subsidiaries, which increased the beginning balance of retained earnings as of April 1, 2008 of ¥12,829 million, net of taxes.

Business Combinations—In December 2007, the FASB issued new guidance that significantly changes the accounting for business combinations while retaining the fundamental requirements that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This guidance further expands the definitions of a business and the fair value measurement and reporting in a business combination. This guidance states that all business combinations (whether full, partial or step acquisitions) will result in all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling (minority) interests in the acquiree being recorded at their acquisition-date fair values with limited exceptions. Certain forms of contingent considerations and certain acquired contingencies will be recorded at their acquisition-date fair value. This guidance also states acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred, restructuring costs will be expensed in periods after the acquisition date, and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. A substantial number

of new disclosure requirements are required to disclose all information necessary to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. The accounting requirements of this guidance are applied on a prospective basis for all business combination transactions completed on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The MUFG Group adopted this guidance on April 1, 2009.

Noncontrolling Interests—In December 2007, the FASB issued new guidance which requires companies to clearly identify and present ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent in the consolidated financial statements within the equity section but separate from the parent’s equity. It also requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interests be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statements of operations; changes in parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for similarly as equity transactions; and when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary and the gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary be measured at fair value. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The MUFG Group adopted this guidance on April 1, 2009. As a result, effective April 1, 2009, ¥ 232,225 million of noncontrolling interests as of March 31, 2009 was reclassified from Other liabilities to Equity on its consolidated balance sheets. Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests was ¥38,476 million, ¥(36,259) million and ¥15,257 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—In March 2008, the FASB issued new guidance regarding a company’s disclosures on derivative instruments. This guidance requires enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under existing accounting guidance for derivatives and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The significant additional disclosures required by this guidance include (1) a tabular summary of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses, (2) disclosure of credit-risk-related contingent features in order to provide more information regarding an entity’s liquidity from using derivatives, and (3) cross-referencing within footnotes to make it easier for financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The MUFG Group adopted this guidance on April 1, 2009, and it affected the MUFG Group’s disclosures of derivative instruments and related hedging activities, and did not affect its financial position and results of operations. See Note 23 for the details of disclosures required by this guidance.

Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions—In February 2008, the FASB issued new guidance, which requires that an initial transfer of a financial asset and a repurchase financing that was entered into contemporaneously with, or in contemplation of, the initial transfer be evaluated together as a linked transaction unless certain criteria are met. This guidance is effective for the fiscal years beginning on or after November 15, 2008. The MUFG Group adopted this guidance on April 1, 2009, which had no material impact on its financial position and results of operations.

Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities—In June 2008, the FASB issued guidance for participating securities, which clarifies that unvested share based payment awards which contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends should be considered equivalent to participating securities and included in the computation of EPS using the two-class method currently prescribed under existing accounting guidance. This guidance is effective retrospectively for the fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The MUFG Group adopted this guidance retrospectively effective April 1, 2009, which had no impact on its results of operations or basic and diluted EPS.

Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments—In April 2009, the FASB staff issued guidance, which amends the other than temporary impairment model for debt securities. This guidance requires an entity to recognize an other than temporary impairment of a debt security if the entity has the intent to sell the debt security or if it is more likely than not the entity will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. In addition, this guidance requires an entity to recognize the credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment of a debt security in earnings or the noncredit component in accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources when the entity does not intend to sell the debt security and if it is more likely than not that the entity will not be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. This guidance also requires additional disclosures, such as the calculation of credit losses, as well as factors considered in reaching a conclusion that an investment is not other than temporarily impaired by major security types. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The MUFG Group adopted this guidance on April 1, 2009. The cumulative effect of the change included a decrease in the opening balance of Accumulated deficit at April 1, 2009 of ¥118,210 million, net of taxes with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources. See Note 4 for a further discussion on this guidance.

Interim disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments—In April 2009, the FASB staff issued guidance that requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This guidance also requires those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. This amendment is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The MUFG Group adopted this guidance from the condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended September 30, 2009, which did not have a significant impact on its financial position and results of operations.

Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies—In April 2009, the FASB staff issued new guidance on disclosures and accounting for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies. This guidance requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value if the acquisition date fair value can be reasonably determined. If the acquisition date fair value of such an asset or liability cannot be reasonably determined, the asset or liability would be measured using existing accounting guidance for contingencies. This guidance is effective on a prospective basis for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The MUFG Group adopted this guidance on April 1, 2009.

Subsequent Events—In May 2009, the FASB issued new guidance on subsequent events. This guidance established general guidance of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This guidance is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The MUFG Group adopted this guidance, which had no impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In February 2010, the FASB issued new guidance to amend the disclosure requirements on subsequent events that an SEC filer is required to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued and is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events are evaluated. This guidance is effective upon issuance of the guidance. The MUFG Group adopted this guidance immediately upon the issuance, which had no impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Employers’ Disclosures and Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets—In December 2008, the FASB issued guidance to revise disclosures related to employers’ postretirement benefit plan assets. The guidance contains amendments to enhance the transparency surrounding the types of assets and associated risks in an employer’s defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. It expands on the existing disclosure requirements by adding required disclosures about: (1) how investment allocation decisions are made by management, (2) major categories of plan assets, and (3) significant concentrations of risk. In addition, the guidance requires an employer to disclose information about the valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The new disclosures are required to be included in financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009 with early application permitted. The MUFG Group adopted this guidance on March 31, 2010. These additional disclosures did not affect the MUFG Group’s financial position or results of operations. See Note 15 for details of the additional disclosures required by this guidance.

Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share—In September 2009, the FASB issued new guidance which amends the guidance on the measurement of fair value of an alternative investment which does not have a readily determinable fair value. This guidance permits entities to use net asset value per share as a practical expedient to measure the fair value of certain alternative investments. This guidance also requires disclosures about the attributes of investments by major category, determined based on the nature and risks of the investment. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2009, with early application permitted. The MUFG Group adopted this guidance on March 31, 2010, which had no material impact on the MUFG Group's financial position or results of operations. See Note 31 for the details of disclosures required by this guidance.

Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary—In January 2010, the FASB issued new guidance which provides clarity over application of accounting and reporting for decreases in ownership of a subsidiary. This guidance clarifies that the scope of accounting and reporting for decreases in ownership of a subsidiary includes a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business or nonprofit activity, but excludes sales of in-substance real estate. This guidance also requires additional disclosures for fair value measurements relating to retained investments in a deconsolidated subsidiary or a preexisting interest held by an acquirer in a business combination. This guidance is effective beginning in the period that an entity adopts the new guidance on noncontrolling interests noted above, or if the new guidance on noncontrolling interests was adopted previously, it is effective beginning in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The MUFG Group adopted this guidance for the annual period ended March 31, 2010, which had no material impact on its financial position or results of operations. See Note 20 for details of the additional disclosures required by this guidance.

The accounting requirements of this guidance are applied on a prospective basis for all business combination transactions completed on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The MUFG Group adopted this guidance on April 1, 2009.

Fair Value MeasurementsNoncontrolling Interests—In September 2006,December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair valuenew guidance which requires companies to clearly identify and present ownership interests in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies undersubsidiaries held by parties other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements,than the FASB having previously concludedparent in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. Under SFAS No. 157, fair value refersconsolidated financial statements within the equity section but separate from the parent’s equity. It also requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the price that wouldparent and to the noncontrolling interests be received to sell an asset or paid to transferclearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statements of operations; changes in parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for similarly as equity transactions; and when a liability in an orderly transaction between market participantssubsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the market in whichformer subsidiary and the reporting entity transacts. SFAS No. 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be basedgain or loss on the assumptions market participants would use when pricingdeconsolidation of the asset or liability. In support of this principle, SFAS No. 157 establishes asubsidiary be measured at fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data, for example, the reporting entity’s own data. Under SFAS No. 157, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. SFAS No. 157value. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after NovemberDecember 15, 2007,2008. The MUFG Group adopted this guidance on April 1, 2009. As a result, effective April 1, 2009, ¥ 232,225 million of noncontrolling interests as of March 31, 2009 was reclassified from Other liabilities to Equity on its consolidated balance sheets. Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests was ¥38,476 million, ¥(36,259) million and interim periods within those¥15,257 million for the fiscal years with early adoption permitted. SFAS No. 157 shall be applied prospectively, except for the provisions related to block discounts and existing derivative and hybrid financial instruments measured at fair value under SFAS No. 133 as modified by SFAS No. 155 using the transaction price in accordance with the guidance in EITF Issue No. 02-3 “Issues Involved in Accounting for Derivative Contracts Held for Trading Purposes and Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities.” SFAS No. 157 nullifies the guidance in EITF Issue No. 02-3 which requires the deferral of trade date gains or losses on derivatives where the fair value of those derivatives are not obtained from a quoted market price, supported by comparison to other observable market transactions, or based upon a valuation technique incorporating observable market data. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 157, the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the derivatives measured using the guidance in EITF Issue No. 02-3 is to be recognized as an adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings. The outstanding balance of the deferred profit in accordance with EITF Issue No. 02-3 was approximately ¥41 billion, net of taxes atended March 31, 2008. SFAS No. 157 also precludes the use of a blockage factor when measuring financial instruments traded in an active market at fair value2008, 2009 and requires consideration of nonperformance risk when measuring liabilities at fair value. 2010, respectively.

Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging ActivitiesIn FebruaryMarch 2008, the FASB staff issued another FSPnew guidance regarding a company’s disclosures on SFAS No. 157, “Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13derivative instruments. This guidance requires enhanced disclosures about (a) how and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurementswhy an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13” (“FSP SFAS No. 157-1”). FSP SFAS No. 157-1 amends SFAS No. 157 to exclude SFAS No. 13, “Accountingexisting accounting guidance for Leases,”derivatives and other accounting pronouncements that address fair value measurements for purposes of lease classification or measurement under SFAS No. 13. However, this scope exception does not apply to assets acquired(c) how derivative instruments and liabilities assumed in a business combination that are required to be measured at fair value under SFAS No. 141, or SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations,” regardless of whether those assets and liabilities are related to leases. In addition, in February 2008, the FASB staff issued an FSP on SFAS No. 157, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP SFAS No. 157-2”). FSP SFAS No. 157-2 applies to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except forhedged items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value inaffect an entity’s financial statements onposition, financial performance, and cash flows.

This guidance is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The MUFG Group elected the fair value option for foreign securities classified as available-for-sale held by BTMU and MUTB in the amount of ¥10,448,079 million, whose unrealized gains and losses are reported within accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources as of March 31, 2008. BTMU and MUTB economically manage, through their asset and liability management activities, risks associated with their foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities due to fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. However, prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 159 for these securities, gains and losses on translation of these securities were reflected in other changes in equity from nonowner sources, while gains and losses on translation of foreign currency denominated financial liabilities were included in current earnings. The MUFG Group elected the fair value option for these securities to mitigate accounting mismatches due to fluctuations of foreign exchange rates. As a result of adopting the fair value option on these securities, MUFG estimates an increase in the beginning balance of retained earnings as of April 1, 2008 of ¥20,150 million, net of tax.

This guidance also requires additional disclosures for fair value measurements relating to retained investments in a deconsolidated subsidiary or a preexisting interest held by an acquirer in a business combination. This guidance is effective beginning in the revised audit guide under SOP 07-1. Theseperiod that an entity adopts the new standards were expected to beguidance on noncontrolling interests noted above, or if the new guidance on noncontrolling interests was adopted previously, it is effective for fiscal years beginning in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2007, with earlier application encouraged. However, in February 2008, the FASB issued an FSP on SOP 07-1, “Effective Date of AICPA Statement of Position 07-1” (“FSP SOP 07-1-1”), to delay indefinitely the effective dates of SOP 07-1 and the effectivity of FSP FIN No. 46R-7 in order to address implementation issues. For entities that have not yet adopted the provisions of SOP 07-1 and FSP FIN No. 46R-7, early adoption will not be permitted during the indefinite deferral.

Income tax benefits on Share-Based Payment Awards—In June 2007, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 06-11, “Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards” (“EITF 06-11”), which was ratified by the FASB in June 2007. EITF 06-11 requires that realized tax benefits from dividends or dividend equivalents paid on equity-classified share-based payment awards that are charged to retained earnings should be recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital and included in the pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb tax deficiencies on share-based payment awards. EITF 06-11 is effective prospectively for the income tax benefits on dividends declared in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007.2009. The MUFG Group has not completedadopted this guidance for the study of what effect EITF 06-11 will haveannual period ended March 31, 2010, which had no material impact on its financial position andor results of operations.

Business Combinations—In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R. SFAS No. 141R willnew guidance that significantly changechanges the accounting for business combinations while retaining the fundamental requirements in SFAS No. 141, that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS No. 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS No. 141RThis guidance further expands the definitions of a business and the fair value measurement and reporting in a business combination. SFAS No. 141RThis guidance states that all business combinations (whether full, partial or step acquisitions) will result in all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling (minority) interests in the acquiree being recorded at their acquisition-date fair values with limited exceptions. Certain forms of contingent considerations and certain acquired contingencies will be recorded at their acquisition-date fair value. SFAS No. 141RThis guidance also states acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred, restructuring costs will be expensed in periods after the acquisition date, and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. SFAS No. 141R also includes aA substantial number

Noncontrolling Interests—In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51.” SFAS No. 160new guidance which requires a companycompanies to clearly identify and present ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent in the consolidated financial statements within the equity section but separate from the parent’s equity. It also requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interestinterests be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statements of operations; changes in parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for similarly as equity transactions; and when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary and the gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary be measured at fair value.

Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” SFAS No. 161new guidance regarding a company’s disclosures on derivative instruments. This guidance requires enhanceenhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133existing accounting guidance for derivatives and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The significant additional disclosures required by SFAS No. 161this guidance include (1) a tabular summary of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses, (2) disclosure of credit-risk-related contingent features in order to provide more information regarding an entity’s liquidity from using derivatives, and (3) cross-referencing within footnotes to make it easier for financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments.

See Note 23 for the details of disclosures required by this guidance.

Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions—In February 2008, the FASB issued new guidance, which requires that an initial transfer of a financial asset and a repurchase financing that was entered into contemporaneously with, or in contemplation of, the initial transfer be evaluated together as a linked transaction unless certain criteria are met. This guidance is effective for the fiscal years beginning on or after November 15, 2008. The MUFG Group adopted this guidance on April 1, 2009, which had no material impact on its financial position and results of operations.

 

Hierarchy of GAAPsDetermining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities—In MayJune 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The main objective of SFAS No. 162 isguidance for participating securities, which clarifies that unvested share based payment awards which contain nonforfeitable rights to include the GAAP Hierarchy within the accounting literature established by the FASB rather than within AICPA’s Statement of Auditing Standards No. 69, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The impact of adopting SFAS No. 162 is not expected to be significant on the MUFG Group’s financial position and results of operations.

Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees—In September 2008, the FASB staff issued an FSP on SFAS No. 133 and FIN No. 45, “Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161.” This FSP amends SFAS No. 133 to require aseller of credit derivatives to disclose information about its credit derivatives and hybrid instruments that have embedded credit derivatives. In addition, the FSP amends FIN No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others—an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and rescission of FASB interpretation No. 34,” and requires guarantors to additionally disclose the current status of the payments/performance risk of the guarantee so that the disclosure will provide similar information as the disclosure relating to credit derivatives and hybrid instruments that have embedded credit derivatives under SFAS No. 133, as amended by this FSP. This FSP also clarifies the FASB’s intent that disclosure required by SFAS No. 161dividends should be provided for any reporting period (annual or interim) beginning after November 15, 2008. This FSP is effective for the reporting periods (annual or interim) ending after November 15, 2008. This FSP will affect the MUFG Group’s disclosures of credit derivativesconsidered equivalent to participating securities and certain guarantees, but will not affect its financial position and results of operations.

Condensed statementRecognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments—In April 2009, the FASB staff issued guidance, which amends the other than temporary impairment model for debt securities. This guidance requires an entity to recognize an other than temporary impairment of a debt security if the entity has the intent to sell the debt security or if it is more likely than not the entity will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. In addition, this guidance requires an entity to recognize the credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment of a debt security in earnings or the noncredit component in accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources when the entity does not intend to sell the debt security and if it is more likely than not that the entity will not be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. This guidance also requires additional disclosures, such as the calculation of credit losses, as well as factors considered in reaching a conclusion that an investment is not other than temporarily impaired by major security types. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The MUFG Group adopted this guidance on April 1, 2009. The cumulative effect of the change included a decrease in the opening balance of Accumulated deficit at April 1, 2009 of ¥118,210 million, net assets acquiredof taxes with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources. See Note 4 for a further discussion on this guidance.

This guidance also requires those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. This amendment is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The MUFG Group adopted this guidance from the condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended September 30, 2009, which did not have a significant impact on its financial position and results of operations.

Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies—In April 2009, the FASB staff issued new guidance on disclosures and accounting for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies. This guidance requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value if the acquisition date fair value can be reasonably determined. If the acquisition date fair value of such an asset or liability cannot be reasonably determined, the asset or liability would be measured using existing accounting guidance for contingencies. This guidance is effective on a prospective basis for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the UFJ Holdingsfirst annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.

Employers’ Disclosures and Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets—In December 2008, the FASB issued guidance to revise disclosures related to employers’ postretirement benefit plan assets. The guidance contains amendments to enhance the transparency surrounding the types of assets and associated risks in an employer’s defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. It expands on the existing disclosure requirements by adding required disclosures about: (1) how investment allocation decisions are made by management, (2) major categories of plan assets, and (3) significant concentrations of risk. In addition, the guidance requires an employer to disclose information about the valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The new disclosures are required to be included in financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009 with early application permitted. The MUFG Group adopted this guidance on March 31, 2010. These additional disclosures did not affect the MUFG Group’s financial position or results of operations. See Note 15 for details of the additional disclosures required by this guidance.

Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share—In September 2009, the FASB issued new guidance which amends the guidance on the measurement of fair value of an alternative investment which does not have a readily determinable fair value. This guidance permits entities to use net asset value per share as a practical expedient to measure the fair value of certain alternative investments. This guidance also requires disclosures about the attributes of investments by major category, determined based on the nature and risks of the investment. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2009, with early application permitted. The MUFG Group adopted this guidance on March 31, 2010, which had no material impact on the MUFG Group's financial position or results of operations. See Note 31 for the details of disclosures required by this guidance.

Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary—In January 2010, the FASB issued new guidance which provides clarity over application of accounting and reporting for decreases in ownership of a subsidiary. This guidance clarifies that the scope of accounting and reporting for decreases in ownership of a subsidiary includes a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business or nonprofit activity, but excludes sales of in-substance real estate. This guidance also requires additional disclosures for fair value measurements relating to retained investments in a deconsolidated subsidiary or a preexisting interest held by an acquirer in a business combination. This guidance is effective beginning in the period that an entity adopts the new guidance on noncontrolling interests noted above, or if the new guidance on noncontrolling interests was adopted previously, it is effective beginning in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The MUFG Group adopted this guidance for the annual period ended March 31, 2010, which had no material impact on its financial position or results of operations. See Note 20 for details of the additional disclosures required by this guidance.

Amendment of Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance which clarifies the application of certain derecognition concepts and eliminates the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity. The estimated useful livesguidance also clarifies the concept of “surrendered control” to consider any continuing involvement with the intangibletransferred assets regardless of when the terms were agreed. In addition, the guidance introduces the term “participating interest” to establish specific conditions for reporting a transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a sale. Finally, the guidance eliminated certain alternatives with respect to initial recognition and measurement and replaced them with a requirement that a transferor recognize and initially measure all assets obtained including a transferor’s beneficial interest and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of financial assets accounted for as a sale, at October 1, 2005 were as follows:

Amendment of Accounting for Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities—In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance which amends the accounting for consolidation of variable interest entities. This guidance changes the current guidance by modifying the characteristics for assessing a primary beneficiary to include entities that have the power to direct the activities of the variable interest entity which significantly impact its economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the entity. This must be reassessed on an ongoing basis. In addition, this guidance amends the identification of variable interest entities by eliminating the scope exception for qualified special purpose entities and adding an additional reconsideration event for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity. This guidance is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009, and interim periods within that year. Early adoption is prohibited. The MUFG Group adopted this guidance on April 1, 2010. In February 2010, the FASB issued new guidance which amends this consolidation guidance to defer the requirements of the consolidation guidance for determining beneficiary of variable interest entities for certain investment funds including mutual funds, private equity funds, hedge funds, venture capital funds, mortgage real estate investment funds and certain real estate investment funds. See Note 25 for the additional information upon the adoption.

Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value—In August 2009, the FASB issued new guidance which provides amendments for the fair value measurements of liabilities. In situations where a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one of two prescribed valuation techniques. There is no requirement to consider transfer restrictions on the liability. This guidance is effective for the first interim and annual reporting periods beginning after August 26, 2009. The MUFG Group has not completed the study of what effect this guidance will have on its financial position and results of operations.

Disclosure about Fair Value Measurements—In January 2010, the FASB issued new guidance which requires a new disclosure and clarifies existing disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The guidance requires additional disclosure of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and activity in Level 3 fair value measurement. This guidance also clarifies existing disclosure requirements regarding level of disaggregation and valuation inputs and techniques. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure of the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which is effective for interim and annual reporting beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption of the guidance is permitted. The MUFG Group does not expect the provisions of this new guidance to have a material effect on its financial position and results of operations.

Technical Corrections to Various Topics—In February 2010, the FASB issued new guidance which eliminates inconsistencies and outdated provisions and provides needed clarifications, for example, for guidance on embedded derivatives and hedging and guidance on income tax accounting in a reorganization. The amendments are effective for the first interim and annual reporting periods beginning after issuance, except for certain amendments. The clarifications of the guidance on the embedded derivatives and hedging are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009, and should be applied to existing contracts (hybrid instruments) containing embedded derivative features at the date of adoption. The amendments to the guidance on accounting for income taxes in a reorganization should be applied to reorganizations for which the date of the reorganization is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. For those reorganizations reflected in interim financial statements issued before the amendments in this new guidance are effective, retrospective application is required. The MUFG Group does not expect the provisions of this new guidance to have a material effect on its financial position and results of operations.

Amendments to Accounting Scope of Embedded Credit Derivatives—In March 2010, the FASB issued new guidance which clarifies the scope exception related to embedded credit derivatives. This guidance addresses how to determine which embedded credit derivative features, including those in collateralized debt obligations and synthetic collateralized debt obligations, are considered to be embedded derivatives that are exempt from potential bifurcation and separate accounting requirement. This guidance is effective for the first interim reporting period beginning after June 15, 2010 with early application permitted at the beginning of the first interim reporting period beginning after the issuance of this new guidance. In initially adopting this new guidance, an entity may elect the fair value option for any investment in a beneficial interest in a securitized financial asset. The election of the fair value option is irrevocable and should be determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis at the beginning of the reporting period of initial adoption. The MUFG Group has not completed the study of what effect this guidance will have on its financial position and results of operations.

Amendment of Accounting for Impaired Loan when the Pool of Loan is Accounted for as a Single Asset—In April 2010, the FASB issued new guidance which amends the accounting for modifications of loans that are acquired with evidence of credit deterioration and accounted for as a pool. The amendment provides that modifications of such loan, which are acquired with evidence of credit deterioration and accounted for as a pool, do not result in the removal of those loans from the pool even if the modification of those loans would otherwise be considered a troubled debt restructuring. An entity will continue to be required to consider whether the pool of assets in which the loan is included is impaired if expected cash flows for the pool change. No additional disclosures are required as a result of this guidance. This guidance is effective for modifications of loans accounted for within pools occurring in the first interim or annual period ending on or after July 15, 2010. Upon initial adoption of the guidance, an entity may make a one-time election to terminate accounting for loans as a pool. This election may be applied on a pool-by-pool basis and does not preclude an entity from applying pool accounting to subsequent acquisitions of loans with credit deterioration. Early adoption is permitted. The MUFG Group has not completed the study of what effect this guidance will have on its financial position and result of operations.

Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses—In July 2010, the FASB issued new guidance which requires additional disclosures and amends existing disclosure requirements on allowances for credit losses and the credit quality of financial receivables. The guidance requires additional disclosures on credit quality indicators of financing receivables, aging of past due financing receivables, nature and extent of troubled debt restructuring and modifications, and significant purchases and sales of financing receivables on a disaggregate basis. Existing guidance is amended to require disclosure of financing receivables on a more disaggregated basis. This guidance will be required for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. Specific items regarding activity that occurs during a reporting period, such as the allowance rollforward and modification disclosures will be required for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. This new guidance will only affect the MUFG Group’s disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and allowances for credit losses, and will not affect its financial position and results of operations.

3.2.    DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, UnionBanCal Corporation (“UNBC”), a U.S. subsidiary of BTMU whose results were reported as a separate business segment, signed a definitive agreement to sell its international correspondent banking operations to Wachovia Bank, N.A., effective October 6, 2005, and the principal legal closing of the transaction took place on the same day, with UNBC receiving ¥25,220 million in cash from Wachovia Bank, N.A. At the principal closing, no loans or other assets were acquired by Wachovia Bank, N.A., and no liabilities were assumed. UNBC continued to operate the international business over a transition period of several months. All of UNBC’s offices designated for disposal were closed as of June 30, 2006. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, UNBC received an additional ¥466 million as a contingent purchase price payment.

 

The MUFG Group accounted for these transactions as discontinued operations in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accountingthe accounting guidance for Impairmentimpairment or Disposaldisposal of Long-Lived Assets”long-lived assets and presented the results of discontinued operations as a separate line item in the consolidated statements of operations. In addition, assets to be disposed or sold, accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value, and liabilities to be extinguished or assumed in connection with discontinued operations were presented as separate assets and liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets.

Interest expense was attributed to discontinued operations based on average net assets. The amount of interest expense allocated to discontinued operations for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 was ¥1,708 million, ¥209 million and nil, respectively.

The severance reserve balances at March 31, 2007 and 2008 were ¥238 million and nil, respectively.

 

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, UNBCUnionBanCal Corporation (“UNBC”) entered into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement with the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) relating to past violations of Bank Secrecy Act and other anti-money laundering regulations that occurred in UNBC’s now discontinued international banking business. As part of this agreement, UNBC paid the DOJ ¥2,545 million for the fiscal year

ended March 31, 2008. The ¥2,545 million payment and ¥194 million of related legal and other outside services costs were allocated to discontinued operations as these past violations pertained to UNBC’s international banking business. The income tax benefit of ¥69 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 reflects the nondeductibility of the ¥2,545 million payment to the DOJ.

4.    OTHER3.    BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS

 

Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS Co., Ltd.

 

On April 1, 2007, the merger between UFJ NICOS Co., Ltd. (“UFJ NICOS”) and DC Card Co., Ltd. (“DC Card”), two credit card subsidiaries of BTMU, came into effect with UFJ NICOS being the surviving entity and UFJ NICOS renamed Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS. Each share of DC Card’s common stock was exchanged for 30 shares of UFJ NICOS’s common stock. The assets and liabilities acquired through the purchase of the minoritynoncontrolling interest in DC Card were measured based on their fair value as of April 1, 2007. The MUFG Group initially recorded approximately ¥4 billion of intangible assets.

 

On November 6, 2007, MUFG acquired ¥120 billion of new common shares in Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS. As a result, the MUFG Group has approximately 76% ownership of Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS compared with its prior holding of approximately 66%. The assets and liabilities acquired through the purchase of Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS shares were measured based on their fair value. The MUFG Group initially recorded approximately ¥19 billion of goodwill and approximately ¥16 billion of intangible assets. The objectives of this additional investment are to strengthen the financial base of Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS, utilize its financial resources effectively, and develop a new credit business strategy due to the changing business environment for consumer finance companies in Japan.

The MUFG Group reorganized the capital structure of Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS, a 76%-owned subsidiary, by eliminating the only outstanding class of capital stock other than the common stock and by having The Norinchukin Bank (“Norinchukin”) become the sole noncontrolling shareholder. This reorganization was carried out in order to further enhance the strategic integrity and flexibility of the MUFG Group and to strive for effective utilization of managerial resources within the MUFG Group.

Pursuant to such reorganization, on August 1, 2008, MUFG acquired, through a share exchange, all the outstanding Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS common stock and all the outstanding Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS Class 1 stock whereby MUFG issued MUFG common stock at a ratio of 0.37 shares of MUFG common stock for every one share of Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS common stock and 1.39 shares of MUFG common stock for every one share of Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS Class 1 stock. MUFG, then, sold 244 million shares of Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS common stock to Norinchukin. Furthermore, MUFG converted all of Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS Class 1 stock acquired from Norinchukin into Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS common stock. As a result, the ownership by MUFG of Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS decreased to approximately 85% from 100%.

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

The foregoing reorganization was accounted for as follows:

The assets and liabilities acquired through the purchase of the noncontrolling interest of Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and were recorded based on their fair value as of August 1, 2008. The MUFG common stock issued in the share exchange was valued at ¥131 billion based on the average market price for a reasonable period before and after the date the terms of the acquisition were agreed to and announced. As a result, MUFG owned all the outstanding Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS common stocks. The MUFG Group recorded approximately ¥23 billion of goodwill and ¥27 billion of intangible assets.

The acquisition of Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS Class 1 stock and the sale of Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS common stock were treated as one unit of account within the context of MUFG’s conversion of the Class 1 stock. The foregoing transactions were accounted for as: (i) a capital transaction representing an induced conversion by Norinchukin of Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS Class 1 stock for approximately 186.6 million shares of Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS common stock, and (ii) the sale by MUFG of approximately 57.4 million shares of Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS common stock, and (iii) the issuance of 69.5 million shares of MUFG common stock. As a result, MUFG recognized a credit to capital surplus of ¥71 billion and recognized ¥8 billion as a direct charge to retained earnings representing the effect of the inducement calculated based on the excess number of Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS common stock deemed received by Norinchukin (over the number of Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS common stock that it would have otherwise received had it converted Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS Class 1 stock under its contractual terms). In addition, gains on the sale of the 57.4 million shares of Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS common stock of ¥6 billion were recognized in the statements of operations. Furthermore, net loss available to common shareholders of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group was increased by ¥8 billion attributable to the effect of the induced conversion in the calculation of EPS.

All the MUFG common stock issued to effect the foregoing transactions were previously held as treasury stock. The difference between their carrying amounts and the amount at which the corresponding reissuance was measured was respectively recorded in capital surplus and unappropriated retained earnings.

 

kabu.com Securities Co., Ltd.

 

BTMU acquired approximately 20% ownership of kabu.com Securities Co., Ltd. (“kabu.com Securities”), a retail online securities company in Japan through tender offers, valuing the transaction at approximately ¥41 billion, resulting in increasing MUFG’s ownership to approximately 51% during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. The assets and liabilities acquired through purchases of the minoritynoncontrolling interest of kabu.com Securities were measured based on their fair value. The MUFG Group recorded approximately ¥78 billion of goodwill and approximately ¥10 billion of intangible assets. The purpose of the acquisition is to strengthen the retail online securities business and enhance the comprehensive Internet-based financial services the MUFG Group provides.

 

Mitsubishi UFJ Securities Co., Ltd.

 

On September 30, 2007, MUFG and MUS executed a share exchange. The share exchange ratio was set at 1.02 shares of MUFG common stock to one share of MUS common stock, valuing the transaction at approximately ¥370 billion. The share exchange ratio was calculated based on the MUFG’s stock after the stock split, which was effective on September 30, 2007. MUFG’s treasury stock was exchanged for the shares of MUS common stock and there was no issuance of new shares. Losses on the share exchange were charged to Capital surplus for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. As a result of the share exchange, MUS became a wholly owned subsidiary of MUFG. MUFG previously owned approximately 60% of MUS. The assets and liabilities acquired through the purchase of the minoritynoncontrolling interest of MUS were measured based on their fair value as

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

of September 30, 2007. The MUFG Group initially recorded approximately ¥23 billion of goodwill and ¥98 billion of intangible assets. The purpose of making MUS a wholly-owned subsidiary is, among other factors, to seize the opportunities presented by the deregulation of the Japanese financial markets and further enhance cooperation between group companies.

UnionBanCal Corporation

BTMU acquired approximately 36% ownership of UNBC through cash tender offers, valuing the transaction at approximately ¥389 billion. The offer expired on September 26, 2008, with purchase of the shares being effective on October 1, 2008. After the offer, BTMU owned approximately 97 % of UNBC’s outstanding common stock and acquired the remaining common stock on November 4, 2008. As a result of the tender offers, followed by the second-step merger, UNBC became a wholly owned subsidiary of BTMU. BTMU previously owned approximately 64% of UNBC. The assets and liabilities acquired through the purchase of the noncontrolling interest of UNBC were measured based on their fair value as of October 1, 2008. The MUFG Group initially recorded approximately ¥175 billion of goodwill and ¥67 billion of intangible assets. The purpose of making UNBC a wholly-owned subsidiary is to achieve greater management flexibility and aim to further strengthen the MUFG Group’s presence in the United States.

Investment securities other than securities available for sale or being held to maturity (i.e., nonmarketable equity securities presented in Other investment securities) were primarily carried at cost of ¥623,430¥1,390,315 million and ¥513,975¥1,655,812 million, at March 31, 20072009 and 2008,2010, respectively, because their fair values were not readily determinable. The MUFG Group periodically monitors the status of each investee including the credit ratings and changes in the MUFG Group’s share of net assets in the investees as compared with its shares at the time of investment, or utilizes commonly accepted valuation models for certain nonmarketable equity securities issued by public companies which are convertible to marketable common stock in the future, to determine if impairment losses if any, are to beexist. The impairment losses recognized on these nonmarketable securities. securities were ¥43,451 million, ¥42,620 million and ¥24,751 million in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

The impairment of cost-method investments is not evaluated when valuation models are not applicable if there are no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. Accordingly, the MUFG Group did not estimate the fair value of such investments in accordance with paragraph 14 and 15 of SFAS No. 107, “Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” These investmentswhich had aggregateaggregated costs of ¥194,150¥163,813 million and ¥167,803¥532,419 million, at March 31, 20072009 and 2008, respectively.2010, respectively, since it was not practical. Investment securities held by certain subsidiaries subject to specialized industry accounting principles in AICPA Guidesfor investment companies and brokers and dealers presented in Other investment securities were carried at fair value of ¥47,529¥43,809 million and ¥66,038¥35,026 million at March 31, 20072009 and 2008,2010, respectively.

In April 2009, the FASB staff issued guidance, which amended the other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) model for debt securities. Under the new guidance, OTTI losses must be recognized in earnings if an investor has the intent to sell the debt security, if it is more likely than not that the investor will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, or if an investor does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. Any impairment on securities an investor intends to sell or is more likely than not required to sell is recognized in earnings for the entire difference between the amortized cost and its fair value. Any impairment on securities an investor does not intend to sell or it is not more likely than not that the investor will be required to sell before recovery is separated into an amount representing the credit loss, which is recognized in earnings, and an amount related to all other factors, which is recognized in other changes in equity from nonowner sources.

The following describes the nature of the MUFG Group’s investments and the conclusions reached on the temporary or other than temporary status of the unrealized losses.

Japanese and foreign governments, agency, or municipal bonds

As of March 31, 2010, the unrealized losses associated with Japanese and foreign governments and agency bonds are not expected to have any credit losses due to the guarantees provided by the governments or such unrealized losses are primarily driven by changes in interest rates, not due to credit losses. Therefore, the MUFG Group expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities and as such has not recorded any impairment losses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities

As of March 31, 2010, the unrealized losses associated with federal agency residential mortgage-backed securities, which are issued by Government-Sponsored Enterprises (“GSE”) of the United States and collateralized by residential mortgage loans, are expected to be primarily driven by changes in interest rates and not due to credit losses. The unrealized losses associated with other non-agency residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities issued by financial institutions with no guarantee from GSEs are primarily rated investment grade, and with consideration of other factors, such as expected cash flow analysis, the MUFG Group expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. As such, no impairment was recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Asset-backed securities, excluding mortgage-backed securities

As of March 31, 2010, the unrealized losses associated with asset-backed securities are primarily related to certain CLOs, which are structured finance products that securitize diversified pool of loan assets into multiple classes of notes from the cash flows generated by such loans, and pay the note holders through the receipt of interest and principal repayments from the underlying loans. Certain of these CLOs are highly illiquid securities for which fair values are difficult to obtain. Unrealized losses arise from widening credit spreads, credit quality of the underlying collateral, uncertainty regarding the valuation of such securities and the market’s opinion of the performance of the fund managers. Cash flow analysis of the underlying collateral provides an estimate of other-than-temporary impairment, which is performed when the fair value of a security is lower than its amortized cost. Any security with a change in credit rating is also subject to cash flow analysis to determine whether or not an other-than-temporary impairment exists. The fair value of the CLO portfolio was adversely impacted during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009 and 2010 by the overall financial market crisis. The MUFG Group monitored performance of securities and performed expected cash flow analysis, which indicated no observable credit quality issues on such securities at March 31, 2010. As a result, no impairment was recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Corporate bonds

As of March 31, 2010, the unrealized losses associated with the corporate bonds are primarily related to private placement bonds issued by Japanese non-public companies. The credit loss component recognized in earnings is identified as the amount of principal cash flows not expected to be received over the remaining term of the bonds as estimated using the MUFG Group’s cash flow projections using its base assumptions. The key assumptions include probability of default based on credit rating of the bond issuers and loss given default.

The following table presents a roll-forward of the credit loss component recognized in earnings. The beginning balance represents the credit loss component for which OTTI occurred on debt securities in the periods prior to April 1, 2009. The additions represent the first time a debt security was credit impaired or when subsequent credit impairments have occurred. The credit loss component is reduced when the MUFG Group sells or the corporate bonds mature. Additionally, the credit loss component is reduced if the MUFG Group receives or expects to receive cash flows in excess of what the MUFG Group previously expected to receive over the remaining life of the credit-impaired debt securities.

Marketable equity securities

The MUFG Group has determined that unrealized losses on investments at March 31, 2007 and 2008marketable equity securities are temporary based on its ability and positive intent to hold the investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery and the results of its review conducted to identify and evaluate investments that have indications of possible impairments. Impairment is evaluated considering various factors, and their relative significance varies from case to case. The MUFG Group’s review includes, but is not limited to, consideration of the following factors:

 

The length of time that fair value of the investment has been below cost—costThe MUFG Group generally deems a continued decline of fair value below cost for six months or more to be other than temporary. Certain securities held by BTMU, MUTB and certain other subsidiaries, which primarily consist of debt securities issued by the Japanese national government and generally considered to be of minimal credit risk, were determined not to be impaired in some cases, on the basis of the respective subsidiary’s ability and positive intent to hold such securities to maturity.

 

The extent to which the fair value of investments has been below cost as of the end of the reporting period—periodThe MUFG Group’s investment portfolio is exposed to volatile equity prices affected by many factors including investors’ perspectives as to future economic factors and the issuers’ performance, as well as cyclical market price fluctuation due to changes in market interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and changes in credit spreads etc. In view of the diversity and volume of equity investments as well as the fact that the majority of investments in debt securities are in high-grade fixed-rate bonds, including sovereign bonds, theperformance. The MUFG Group generally deems the decline in fair value below cost of 20% or more as an indicator of an other than temporary decline in fair value.

 

The financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer—issuerThe MUFG Group considers the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer primarily based on the credit standing of the issuers as determined by its credit rating system.

 

UnrealizedAt March 31, 2010, unrealized losses on certain other debtmarketable equity securities held by BTMU, all of which have been in a continuous loss position for less than 12 months, are considered temporary since BTMU hasbased on the abilityevaluation as described above, and positive intent to hold the investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Unrealized losses on marketable equity securities, all of which have been in a continuous loss position for less than 12 months, are also considered temporary, since the MUFG Group primarily makes these investments for strategic purposes to maintain long-term relationship with its customers.

Certain securities held by UNBC, which primarily consist of debt securities backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and corporate asset-backed and debt securities, were determined not to be impaired in some cases, on the basis of a cash flow analysis of such securities and/or UNBC’s ability and positive intent to hold such securities to maturity. As shown in the table above, there were no material unrealized losses that have been in a continuous loss position for 12 months or more, except for unrealized losses on certain foreign governments and official institutions bonds, mortgage-backed securities and other debt securities held by UNBC at March 31, 2008. Foreign governments and official institutions bonds in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more were issued by one of the several Government-Sponsored Enterprises (“GSEs”) such as U.S. Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), Federal Home Loan Banks or Federal Farm Credit Banks. These securities were issued with a stated interest rate and mature in less than five years. All of the unrealized losses on these securities resulted from rising interest rates subsequent to purchase. Unrealized losses will decline as interest rates fall below the purchased yield and as the securities approach maturity. Since UNBC has the ability and positive intent to hold the securities until recovery of the carrying value, which could be maturity, the unrealized loss is considered temporary. Mortgage-backed securities in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more are primarily

securities guaranteed by a GSE such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and relatively small amounts of AAA-rated private label mortgage securities. These securities are collateralized by residential mortgage loans and may be prepaid at par prior to maturity. All of the unrealized losses on the mortgage-backed securities resulted from rising interest rates subsequent to purchase and in the case of private label mortgage securities, additional credit spread widening since purchase. Other debt securities in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more primarily consisted of credit card receivable securities and collateralized loan obligations held by UNBC. Unrealized losses on such securities arise from rising interest rates, widening credit spreads, credit quality of the underlying collateral, and the market’s opinion of the performance of the fund managers. Cash Flow analysis of the underlying collateral provides an estimate of other-then-temporary impairment, which is performed quarterly on those securities below Aa investment grade. Any security with a change in credit rating is also subject to cash flow analysis to determine whether or not an other-than-temporary impairment exists. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, the fair value of the collateralized loan obligation portfolio was adversely impacted by the liquidity crisis caused by the subprime loan industry. Although none of the collateralized loan obligations in UNBC’s portfolio contain subprime loan assets, widening credit spreads caused their value to decline. Since the securities do not have observable credit quality issues and the UNBC has the ability and intent to hold the other debt securities until recovery of the carrying value, which could be maturity, the unrealized loss is considered temporary.

Banks’ Shareholdings Purchase Corporation

Under a Japanese law forbidding banks from holding marketable equity securities in excess of their Tier I capital after September 30, 2006, the Banks’ Shareholdings Purchase Corporation (“BSPC”) was established in January 2002 in order to soften the impact on the stock market of sales of cross-shareholdings. BSPC began accepting share offers from financial institutions on February 15, 2002. It has been funded by financial institutions, including BTMU and MUTB, which made initial contributions of ¥2,000 million (“preferred contributions”). BSPC will be disbanded when it sells all shares that it purchased from financial institutions, or by March 31, 2017, at the latest.

BSPC has two accounts to purchase stock from financial institutions; the General Account and the Special Account. In the General Account, each selling financial institution funds the amount of purchase by BSPC without guarantees by the Japanese government, and the financial institution will assume any gains or losses on sales by BSPC of the stocks. In the Special Account, each selling financial institution was required to make contributions of 8% of the selling prices to BSPC for purchases made prior to the effective date of the amendment to the above-mentioned law to fund any future losses (“subordinated contributions”). Effective in August 2003, the requirement for subordinated contributions was eliminated under the amendment to the legislation. The purchase amount in the Special Account is funded by borrowings guaranteed by the Japanese government with a limit of ¥2.0 trillion. The cumulative net loss on sales of stocks in the Special Account, which will not be determined and finalized before the liquidation of BSPC, will be compensated first by the subordinated contributions, and then by the preferred contributions. If there is a remaining loss, the government, as a guarantor, will be liable for the loss. On the other hand, if there is a cumulative net asset at the time of the liquidation, the asset is first used to repay the preferred contributions and then to repay the subordinated contributions. If any net assets remain after repayment of subordinated contributions, such net assets will be paid out and the amounts will be determined based on the amounts of both contributions. Any remaining net assets in excess of double the amount of the contributions will belong to the Japanese government.

At the establishment of BSPC in January 2002, BTMU and MUTB collectively paid ¥2,000 million to BSPC as preferred contributions. At the time of the sales, BTMU and MUTB made subordinated contributions to the Special Account of ¥1,652 million and ¥183 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, the MUFG Group evaluated its preferred contributions of

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

¥2,000 million and subordinated contributions of ¥1,835 million for impairment, and recognized an impairment loss of ¥3,835 million. On October 1, 2005, the MUFG Group acquired, at fair value, the preferred and subordinated contributions of the UFJ Holdings Group to BSPC for ¥4,000 million and ¥10,616 million, respectively.

The MUFG Group sold marketable equity securities to BSPC with aggregate market values of ¥3,537 million, nil and nil, respectively, during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008. Also, BTMU and MUTB made loans to BSPC to fund its purchases of marketable equity securities. Such loans to BSPC, which are guaranteed by the Japanese government, amounted to ¥273,100 million and nil at March 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively.

The MUFG Group accounts for the transfers of marketable equity securities to the General Account, if any, as secured borrowings. With respect to the transfers of marketable equity securities to the Special Account with the requirement of subordinated contributions, if the fair value of the securities sold to the Special Account is greater than 10% of the fair value of all securities held by the Special Account, the MUFG Group accounts for the subordinated contributions as a partial retained interest in the sale. For all periods presented, the MUFG Group had no sales of securities whose fair value was greater than 10% of the fair value of all securities held by the Special Account. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, the MUFG Group recognized gains of ¥769 million, nil and nil, respectively, on the sales of marketable equity securities to the Special Account. In September 2006, BSPC ceased purchasing marketable equity securities from banks.

Debt-for-equity Swap

The MUFG Group restructured certain debt by entering into debt-for-equity swap transactions. As a result of these debt-for-equity swap transactions, the MUFG Group’s loans to some borrowers, under standard terms available to similarly situated corporate borrowers, were effectively converted into equity interests in the borrowers, often in the form of preferred shares. The aggregate carrying amounts of debt swapped for equity, net of allowance, for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 were ¥240 million, nil and nil, respectively. Such loans were often identified as impaired and, accordingly, the debt-for-equity swap transactions did not materially affect the MUFG Group’s results of operations for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008.

Equity interests acquired through a debt-for-equity swap transaction are accounted for as other investments and carried at cost on the consolidated balance sheets, and reviewed for impairment periodically. Due to regulatory and legal reasons, cash often changes hands between the parties to the debt-for-equity swap transactions. In such cases, the debt-for-equity swap is classified as a cash transaction in the consolidated statements of cash flows as a repayment of loans and purchases of other investment securities.

Substantially all domestic loans are made under agreements which, as is customary in Japan, provide that a bank may, under certain conditions, require the borrower to provide collateral (or additional collateral) or guarantees with respect to the loans, and that the bank may treat any collateral, whether furnished as security for loans or otherwise, as collateral for all indebtedness to the bank. At March 31, 2007 and 2008, such collateralized loans originated by the MUFG Group, which were principally collateralized by real estate, marketable securities and accounts receivable, amounted to ¥27,703,501 million and ¥28,073,672 million, respectively, which represented 36% and 36%, respectively, of the total domestic loans at March 31, 2007 and 2008.

 

Nonaccrual and restructured loans were ¥1,677,030¥1,771,110 million and ¥1,661,720¥1,981,201 million at March 31, 20072009 and 2008,2010, respectively. Had interest on these loans been accrued pursuant to the original terms, gross interest income on such loans for the fiscal years ended March 31, 20072009 and 20082010 would have been approximately ¥93.9¥93.4 billion and ¥92.6¥96.2 billion, respectively, of which approximately ¥68.1¥47.5 billion and ¥68.0¥38.8 billion, respectively, were included in interest income on loans in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more were ¥22,470¥21,487 million and ¥17,952¥26,418 million at March 31, 20072009 and 2008,2010, respectively.

 

The MUFG Group provided commitments to extend credit to customers with restructured loans. The amounts of such commitments were ¥20,473¥40,001 million and ¥16,897¥23,885 million at March 31, 20072009 and 2008,2010, respectively. See Note 2524 for further discussion of commitments to extend credit.

The average recorded investments in impaired loans were approximately ¥1,244¥1,397 billion, ¥1,395¥1,556 billion and ¥1,397¥1,717 billion, respectively, for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 20072008, 2009 and 2008.2010.

 

For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 20072008, 2009 and 2008,2010, the MUFG Group recognized interest income of approximately ¥25.8¥48.3 billion, ¥36.0¥40.0 billion and ¥48.3¥33.4 billion, respectively, on impaired loans. Interest income on nonaccrual loans was recognized on a cash basis when ultimate collectibility of principal was certain; otherwise, cash receipts were applied as principal reductions. Interest income on accruing impaired loans, including restructured loans, was recognized on an accrual basis to the extent that the collectibility of interest income was reasonably certain based on management’s assessment.

Government-led Loan Restructuring Program

 

Under the legislation enacted by the Japanese Diet in June 1996, which incorporates the restructuring program for the loans of seven failed housing-loan companies (the “Jusen”), the Deposit Insurance Corporation (“DIC”) established a Housing Loan Administration Corporation (“HLAC”) to collect and dispose of the loans of the liquidated Jusen. In 1999, HLAC merged with the Resolution and Collection Bank Limited to create the Resolution and Collection Corporation (“RCC”), which is wholly owned by the DIC.

 

Financial institutions, including the MUFG Group, waived the repayment of substantial amounts of the loans to the Jusen and transferred the remaining balances to HLAC. Financial institutions were requested to make loans to HLAC to finance its collection activities, and in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, the MUFG Group made loans of ¥407,078 million with an original maturity term of 15 years. The 15-year term loans to HLAC, which are guaranteed by the DIC under the legislation and the loan agreements, mature in 2011 and earn interest at TIBOR (Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate) plus 0.125%. On October 1, 2005, the MUFG Group acquired, at fair value, loans of the UFJ Holdings Group to HLAC in connection with the merger with UFJ Holdings. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 20072009 and 2008,2010, certain of these loans were repaid before maturity. At March 31, 20072009 and 2008,2010, outstanding loans to HLACRCC were ¥232,174¥193,628 million and ¥210,148¥179,270 million, respectively.

Under this restructuring program, a Financial Stabilization Fund (the “Special Fund”) was established within the DIC, and the Bank of Japan and other financial institutions established another fund (the “New Fund”). These funds are principally invested in Japanese government bonds. The MUFG Group made non-interest-earning deposits of ¥176,089 million with the Special Fund and the New Fund in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997. The deposit balances as of March 31, 20072009 and 2008,2010, which are included in Other assets,

were ¥358,344¥372,114 million and ¥365,146¥378,119 million, respectively, reflecting a present value discount and subsequent amortizationaccretion of the discount during the period until the expected maturity date. The non-interest-earning deposits with these funds are expected to mature in 15 years from the deposit dates, which coincides with the planned operational lifespan of HLAC.RCC.

 

It is uncertain what losses (so-called “stage two loss”), if any, may ultimately be incurred by the RCC through the collection of the Jusen loans during the 15-year term. If any such losses ultimately occur, the Japanese government will be liable for half of such losses, and the investment income to be earned by the Special Fund during the 15 years is to be used to cover the remaining half of the losses. The investment income to be earned by the New Fund during the 15 years is to be used to compensate for a portion of the public funds used for the Jusen restructuring.

 

At this time management believes all loans and deposits will be collectible according to their respective terms.

 

Sales of Loans

 

The MUFG Group originates various types of loans to corporate and individual customers in Japan and overseas in the normal course of its business. In order to improve its loan quality, BTMU and MUTB actively disposed of nonperforming loans. Most of such nonperforming loans were disposed of by sales to third party purchasersparties without any continuing involvement. Management of BTMU and MUTB generally decide on approvals forapproves disposals after significant sales terms, including prices, are negotiated. As such, loans are disposed of by sales shortly after the loans are transferred to the held-for-sale classification. The net gains on the sales of loans were ¥47,083 million, ¥31,243¥14,771 million and ¥14,771¥17,764 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 20072008 and 2008,2010, respectively. The net losses on the sales of loans was ¥1,728 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

 

Loan Securitization

 

The MUFG Group securitized loans without recourse of ¥68,090 million to the special purpose entity which was in form of trust accounting and which issued senior beneficial interests and subordinated beneficial interests in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. The MUFG Group had no significant transfers of loans in securitization transactions accounted for as sales for the fiscal yearsyear ended March 31, 2006, 20072010.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, the MUFG Group’s retained interests consisted of senior beneficial interests of ¥60,671 million which were recorded as investment securities. The subordinated beneficial interests of ¥7,419 million were sold and 2008,the gains or losses recognized were not material. The carrying amount of the investment securities was allocated between the senior beneficial interests and did not retain any significantthe subordinated beneficial interests associated with loans transferredbased on their relative fair values at the date of the securitization. The senior beneficial interests are carried at their fair values and the unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported as a net amount in securitizationsa separate component of equity until realized. The fair value of the senior beneficial interests at March 31, 2008.2010 was ¥38,227 million. The purpose of the special purpose entity is to hold and manage only loans without recourse. The MUFG Group provides servicing for beneficial interests in the securitized loans. However no servicing assets or liabilities were recorded as a result of this transaction since the MUFG Group received adequate compensation. The MUFG Group did not provide contractual or noncontractual financial support to the special purpose entity or subordinated beneficial interests holders. Also, there were no liquidity arrangements,

guarantees or other commitments provided by third parties related to the transferred financial assets. At March 31, 2009 and 2010, key economic assumptions used in measuring the fair value of the senior beneficial interests were as follows:

   2009  2010 

One month forward rate

  0.21 - 1.15 (0.20) - 0.90

Credit spread

  1.84 - 5.33 3.11 - 7.89

At March 31, 2009 and 2010, the sensitivities of the fair value to an immediate adverse change of 10 basis points (“bp”) and 20bp, and 10% and 20% were as follows:

   2009  2010 

One month forward rate:

   

Impact of 10bp adverse change

  99.72 - 99.85 99.70 - 99.91

Impact of 20bp adverse change

  99.44 - 99.70 99.42 - 99.84

Credit spread:

   

Impact of 10% adverse change

  98.99 - 99.53 97.99 - 99.65

Impact of 20% adverse change

  97.97 - 99.07 96.00 - 99.31

The sensitivities are hypothetical. In this table, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the senior beneficial interests was calculated without changing any other assumption; in reality, changes could be correlated and changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

The table below summarizes certain cash flows between the MUFG Group and the special purpose entity for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.

There were no other loans that were managed with the securitized loans, and both the transferred assets and the retained assets had no delinquencies at the end of March 31, 2010. No credit losses had been incurred from those loans for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.

 

Related Party Loans

 

In some cases, the banking subsidiaries of MUFG make loans to related parties, including their directors and executive officers, in the course of their normal commercial banking business. At March 31, 20072009 and 2008,2010, outstanding loans to such related parties were not significant.

 

In the opinion of management, these related party loans were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral requirements, as those terms prevailing at the date these loans were made. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 20072008, 2009 and 2008,2010, there were no loans to related parties that were charged-off. Additionally, at March 31, 20072008, 2009, and 2008,2010, there were no loans to related parties that were impaired.

Accumulated depreciation on such capitalized leases at March 31, 2009 and equipment) for ¥9,1002010 amounted to ¥77,777 million to a real estate company. At the same time, BTMU entered an agreement to lease back the 50% undivided interest in the buildings sold from the buyer over a period of 7 years. BTMU has accounted for these transactions as financing arrangements, and recorded the total proceeds of ¥100,600¥70,284 million, as a financing obligation.

In August 2005, BTMU bought back a 50% undivided interest in these office buildings and land for ¥111,597 million. The buy back resulted in an extinguishment of debt of ¥103,731 million, which included the finance obligation for the 50% of any improvements that was paid by the real estate company, and loss on extinguishment of liabilities of ¥7,866 million. The repurchase was undertaken to increase the stability and flexibility of the property as the office buildings and land are expected to function as a significant piece of the infrastructure for BTMU.respectively.

 

BTMU has entered into sales agreements to sell its buildings and land and, under separate agreements, leased those properties back for theirits business operations, including bank branches. BTMU either provided nonrecourse financings to the buyers for the sales proceeds or invested in the equities of the buyers. As a result, BTMU was considered to have continuing involvement with the properties. For accounting and reporting purposes, these transactions were accounted for under the financing method with the sales proceeds recognized as a financing obligation. The properties were reported on the consolidated balance sheets and depreciated. The financing obligation at March 31, 20072009 and 20082010 were ¥46,270¥56,053 million and ¥74,954¥52,189 million, respectively.

The commercial/investment bankingFor the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, the MUFG group recognized ¥893,721 million as an impairment of BTMU, the trust real estate banking of MUTB and the securities businesses of MUS recognized impairment losses.

The reason for the impairment wasgoodwill, mainly due to the recent global financial market instability thatinstability. MUFG’s stock price declined from ¥1,330 at March 31, 2007 to ¥860 at March 31, 2008. It led to a decrease in market capitalization and negatively affected the fair value of our reporting units for the purpose of our annualperiodical goodwill impairment testing. As a result, goodwill relating to the MUS-Retail, BTMU-Corporate, MUTB-Real Estate and MUS-Corporate reporting units was impaired.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, MUFG’s stock price decreased to ¥476 and its market capitalization continuously diminished. The continuing financial crisis weakened our financial forecast, which resulted in further negative impacts to the fair value of our reporting units. As a result of the readjustment of future projections performed by management, the fair value of most reporting units, which is based on discounted cash flows, fell below their carrying amount. Based on these situations, the MUFG group recognized ¥845,842 million as an impairment of goodwill relating to the BTMU-Retail, Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS-Retail, MUS-Corporate and MUTB-Trust reporting units.

Note:

(1) At March 31, 2007 and 2008, ¥3172009, ¥329 billion and ¥321 billion, respectively, of the valuation allowance related to gross deferred tax assets was attributable to the merger with UFJ Holdings and to the acquisition of noncontrolling interestinterests of Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS and MUS. Future recognition, if occurring prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 141R, of the tax attributes associated with these gross deferred tax assets would result in MUFG’s share of tax benefits being allocated first to reduce goodwill, second to reduce other noncurrent intangible assets acquired, and then to reduce income tax expenses. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 and 2008,2009, the tax benefit of ¥12less than ¥1 billion, and ¥12 billion, respectively, attributed to the merger or the acquisition was recognized by eliminating the valuation allowance and was applied to reduce goodwill.

 

The valuation allowance was provided primarily against deferred tax assets recorded at the MUFG Group’s domesticand its subsidiaries with operating loss carryforwards. The amount of the valuation allowance is determined based on a review of future taxable income (exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards) and future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences. Future taxable income is developed from forecasted operating results, based on recent historical trends and approved business plans, the eligible carryforward periods and other relevant factors. For certain subsidiaries where strong negative evidence exists, such as the existence of significant amounts of operating loss carryforwards, cumulative losses and the expiration of unused operating loss carryforwards in recent years, a valuation allowance was recognized against the deferred tax assets as of March 31, 20072009 and 20082010 to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will not be realized. The net changes in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets were an increase of ¥77,844 million and ¥194,609 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively. The increase for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 primarily reflected the addition of valuation allowances for certain companies including a subsidiary in the consumer finance business due to the decline of their forecasted operating results and estimated future taxable income, and an increase in their deductible temporary differences. The increase for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 primarily reflected the addition of valuation allowance related to operating loss carryforwards that were no longer deemed to be “more likely than not” to be realized, due to a decline in estimated future taxable income resulting from the downturn in financial and banking businesses caused by disruptions in the global financial markets.

Income taxes are not provided on undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries whichthat are considered to be indefinitely reinvested in the operations of such subsidiaries. At March 31, 2008, such2010, the undistributed earnings of such foreign subsidiaries amounted to approximately ¥440 billion.¥26,179 million. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liabilities with respect to these undistributed earnings is not practicable because of the complexity associated with its hypothetical calculation including foreign withholding taxes and foreign tax credits. MUFG has neither plans nor the intention to dispose of investments in such foreign subsidiaries and, accordingly, does not expect to record capital gains or losses, or otherwise monetize itsthe undistributed earnings of such foreign subsidiaries’ undistributed earnings.subsidiaries.

The U.S. Federal income tax returns of a certain affiliate for the years 1994 to 2001 have been examined by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and are currently being appealed. It is reasonably possible that the case will be settled by accepting a settlement offer during the next 12 months. As a result, the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by up to ¥2,061 million and the related accrued interest and penalties may decrease by up to ¥2,352 million. The federal income tax returns for the years 2002 and 2003 are currently under examination.

In addition, it is reasonably possible that the statute of limitations pertaining to tax positions taken by other certain affiliate with respect to the state income taxes in the United States may lapse. As a result, the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by up to ¥1,689 million. Should this decrease occur, the net impact on income tax expense, including interest, would be up to ¥1,370 million.

 

The MUFG Group does not anticipate any other materialsignificant increases or decreases to unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months. However, the MUFG Group is under continuous examinations by the tax authorities in various domestic and foreign jurisdictions and many of these examinations are resolved every year. Therefore, the MUFG Group’s estimate of unrecognized tax benefits is subject to change based on new developments and information.

In addition, at March 31, 2008, loans and2010, certain investment securities, principally Japanese national government and Japanese government agency bonds and loans, and other assets aggregating ¥11,645,784¥16,033,900 million were pledged as collateral for acting as a collection agent of public funds, for settlement of exchange at the Bank of Japan and Tokyo Bankers Association, for derivative transactions and for certain other purposes.

 

The MUFG Group engages in on-balance sheet securitizations. These securitizations of mortgage and apartment loans, that do not qualify for sales treatment, are accounted for as secured borrowings. The amount of loans in the table above represents, the carrying amount of these transactions with the carrying amount of the associated liabilities included in other short-term borrowings and long-term debt.

Under Japanese law, Japanese banks are required to maintain certain minimum reserves on deposit with the Bank of Japan based on the amount of deposit balances and certain other factors. There are similar reserve deposit requirements for foreign offices engaged in banking businesses in foreign countries. At March 31, 20072009 and 2008,2010, the reserve funds maintained by the MUFG Group, which are included in Cash and due from banks and Interest-earning deposits in other banks, were ¥1,059,151¥2,015,698 million and ¥2,359,024¥2,041,048 million, respectively. Average reserves during the fiscal years ended March 31, 20072009 and 20082010 were ¥1,651,564¥1,682,655 million and ¥1,565,247¥1,961,783 million, respectively.

Collateral

 

The MUFG Group accepts and provides financial assets as collateral for transactions, principally commercial loans, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions, call money, and derivatives. Financial assets eligible for such collateral include, among others, marketable equity securities, trade and notes receivable and certificates of deposit.

 

Secured parties, including creditors and counterparties to certain transactions with the MUFG Group, may sell or repledge financial assets provided as collateral. Certain contracts, however, may not be specific about the secured party’s right to sell or repledge collateral under the applicable statutes and, therefore, whether or not the secured party is permitted to sell or repledge collateral would differ depending on the interpretations of specific provisions of the existing statutes, contract or certain market practices. If the MUFG Group determines, based on available information, that a financial asset provided as collateral might not be sold or repledged by the secured parties, such collateral is not separately reported in the consolidated balance sheets. If a secured party is permitted to sell or repledge financial assets provided as collateral by contract or custom under the existing statutes, the MUFG Group reports such pledged financial assets separately on the face of the consolidated balance sheets. At March 31, 2008,2010, the MUFG Group pledged ¥15,080¥19,370 billion of assets that may not be sold or repledged by the secured parties.

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Certain banking subsidiaries accept collateral for commercial loans and certain banking transactions under a standardized agreement with customers, which provides that these banking subsidiaries may require the customers to provide collateral or guarantees with respect to the loans and other banking transactions. Financial assets pledged as collateral are generally negotiable and transferable instruments, and such negotiability and transferability is authorized by applicable legislation. In principle, Japanese legislation permits these banking subsidiaries to repledge financial assets accepted as collateral unless otherwise prohibited by contract or relevant statutes. Nevertheless, the MUFG Group did not sell or repledge nor does it plan to sell or repledge such collateral accepted in connection with commercial loans before a debtor’s default or other credit events specified in the agreements as it is not customary within the banking industry in Japan to dispose of collateral before a debtor’s default and other specified credit events. Derivative agreements commonly used in the marketplace do not prohibit a secured party’s disposition of financial assets received as collateral, and in resale agreements and securities borrowing transactions, securities accepted as collateral may be sold or repledged by the secured parties. At March 31, 20072009 and 2008,2010, the fair value of the collateral accepted by the MUFG Group that is permitted to be sold or repledged was approximately ¥19,454¥21,632 billion and ¥25,966¥19,093 billion, respectively, of which approximately ¥7,105¥6,730 billion and ¥10,228¥6,983 billion, respectively, was sold or repledged. The amount includes the collateral that may be repledged under the current Japanese legislation but the MUFG Group does not dispose of before the counterparties’ default in accordance with the customary practice within the Japanese banking industry.

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)At March 31, 2009 and 2010, the cash collateral paid for derivative transactions, which is included in other assets, were ¥625,931 million and ¥634,299 million, respectively and the cash collateral received for derivative transactions, which is included in other liabilities, were ¥389,238 million and ¥260,233 million, respectively.

MUTB holds assets on behalf of its customers in an agent, fiduciary or trust capacity. Such trust account assets are not the MUFG Group’s proprietary assets and are managed and accounted for separately.

 

However, excess cash funds of individual trust accounts are often placed with MUTB which manages the funds together with its own funds in its proprietary account. Due to trust account reflects a temporary placement

The amounts principally consist of the lines of collateralized intraday overdrafts without interest charges and collateralized overnight loans on bills at the official discount rate granted by the Bank of Japan, which are used to cover shortages in the Bank of Japan account and to meet liquidity needs. The MUFG Group may borrow from the Bank of Japan on demand up to the total amount of collateral eligible for credit extension.

17.15.    SEVERANCE INDEMNITIES AND PENSION PLANS

 

Defined Benefit Pension Plans

 

The MUFG Group has funded contributory orand non-contributory defined benefit pension plans (“pension benefits”), which cover substantially all of their employees and provide for lifetime annuity payments commencing at age 65 based on eligible compensation at the time of severance, rank, years of service and other factors.

 

On January 1, 2006, BTMU integrated BTM’s contributoryand certain domestic subsidiaries, MUS, Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS and some subsidiaries of MUFG have non-contributory Corporate Defined Benefit Pension planplans (“CDBP”CDBPs”) and UFJ Bank’s non-contributory CDBP plan and establishedwhich provide benefits to all their domestic employees. MUTB has a new non-contributory CDBP plan. The integration resulted in the change of the amounts of benefits earned based on employees’ services rendered in prior fiscal periods. The plan amendment did not have a significant impact on the MUFG Group’s results of operations and financial position. MUS and its domestic subsidiaries also have their own CDBP plans.

Until January 1, 2006, BTM’s contributory CDBP was referredsimilar to as Employees’ Pension Fund plans (“EPF”s), which were contributory defined benefit pension plans established under the Japanese Welfare Pension Insurance Law (“JWPIL”). These plans were composed of (a) substitutional portion based on the pay-related part

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

of the old-age pension benefits prescribed by JWPIL (similar to social security benefits in the United States) and (b) a corporate portion based on a contributory defined benefit pension arrangement established on a discretionary basis. BTMU and its domestic subsidiaries with EPF plans and their employees were exempted from contributions to Japanese Pension Insurance (“JPI”) that would otherwise be required if they had not elected to fund the substitutional portion of the benefit through an EPF arrangement. The EPF plans, in turn, had paid both the corporate and substitutional pension benefits to retired beneficiaries out of their plan assets. Benefits of the substitutional portion were based on a standard remuneration schedule as determined by the JWPIL, but the benefits of the corporate portion were based on a formula determined by each employer/EPF plan. Pension benefits and plan assets applicable to the substitutional portion were included in the corporate portion in the determination of net periodic costs and funded status.

In June 2001, JWPIL was amended to permit each employer/EPF plan to separate the substitutional portion from the EPF plan and transfer the obligation and related assets to the government. The separation process occurred in several phases.

In June 2003, BTMU submitted to the government an application to transfer the obligation to pay benefits for future employee service related to the substitutional portion and the application was approved in August 2003. In August 2004, BTMU made another application for transfer to the government of the remaining substitutional portion and the application was approved in November 2004. To complete the separation process, the substitutional obligation and related plan assets were transferred to a government agency on March 28, 2005.

In accordance with EITF 03-2, “Accounting for the Transfer to the Japanese Government of the Substitutional Portion of Employee Pension Fund Liabilities”, BTMU recognized (1) the difference of ¥103,001 million between the accumulated benefit obligations settled and the assets transferred to the Japanese Government as a government grant for transfer of the substitutional portion of the EPF plan, (2) the proportionate amount of the net unrealized loss of ¥69,257 million for the substitutional portion as settlement loss, and (3) the difference of ¥1,221 million between the projected benefit obligations and the accumulated benefit obligations related to the substitutional portion, as gain on derecognition of previously accrued salary progression for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.

The remaining portion of the EPF plan (that is, the corporate portion) was transferred to the BTM’s contributory CDBP plan after the separation process was completed.these non-contributory CDBPs.

 

In addition to the CDBP,CDBPs, BTMU and MUTB have non-contributory closed Tax-Qualified Pension Plans (“closed TQPPs”), which are non-contributory defined benefit pension plans that provide benefits to certain retired employees, excluding directors in Japan, based on eligible compensation at the time of severance, years of service and other factors. MUTB also has a contributory closed TQPP in addition to the non-contributory closed TQPPs.

 

The MUFG Group also offers qualified and nonqualified defined benefit pension plans in foreign offices and subsidiaries for their employees. The qualified plans are non-contributory defined pension plans, which provide benefits upon retirement based on years of service and average compensation and cover substantially all of the employees of such foreign offices and subsidiaries. With respect to the offices and subsidiaries in the United States of America, the qualified plans are funded on a current basis in compliance with the requirement of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of the United States of America. The nonqualified plans are non-contributory defined benefit pension plans, under which certain employees earn pay and interest credits on compensation amounts above the maximum stipulated by applicable laws under the qualified plans.

 

Contributory defined benefit pension plans. MUTB established a new contributory defined benefit pension plan by integrating the defined benefit pension plans of both Mitsubishi Trust and UFJ Trust on March 31, 2007,

which is comprised of substitutional portion and corporate portion. The plan amendment did not have a significant impact on the MUFG Group’s results of operations and financial position.

In addition to the contributory defined benefit pension plan, MUTB has closed TQPPs, which are funded contributory defined benefit pension plans, providing benefits to certain retired employees, excluding directors in Japan, based on eligible compensation at the time of severance, years of service and other factors.

Severance Indemnities Plans

 

The MUFG Group has severance indemnities plans (“SIP”s) under which their employees in Japan, other than those who are directors, are entitled, under most circumstances, upon mandatory retirement at normal retirement age or earlier termination of employment, to lump-sum severance indemnities based on eligible compensation at the time of severance, rank, years of service and other factors. Under SIPs, benefit payments in the form of a lump-sum cash payment with no option to receive annuity payments, upon mandatory retirement at normal retirement age or earlier termination of employment, are provided. When a benefit is paid in a single payment to a benefit payee under the plans, the payment represents final relief of the obligation.

(2)Japanese debt securities include the MUFG Group’s debt securities in the amounts of ¥3,536 million (0.15% of plan assets) and ¥4,004 million (0.17% of plan assets) to the pension benefits and SIPs at December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively.
(3)“General account of life insurance companies” is a contract with life insurance companies that guarantees a return of approximately 1.23% (from April 2006 to March 2007) and 1.24% (from April 2007 to March 2008), which is mainly invested in assets with low market risk such as Japanese debt securities. In terms of pension plan asset allocation, BTMU regards the general account in the same category as Japanese debt securities, because it is generally believed that there is a high degree of correlation between their performances. BTMU carefully monitors life insurance companies by credit rating and other assessments.

Investment policies

 

MUFG’s investment policy for plan assets is based on an asset liability matching strategy which is intended to maintain adequate liquidity for benefit payments and to achieve a stable increase in the plan assets in the medium and long term through proper risk control and return maximization. As a general rule, investment policies for each plan assets are reviewed periodically for some plans and in the following situations for all plans: (1) large fluctuations in pension plan liabilities caused by modifications ofto pension plans, or (2) changes in the market environment. The plan assets allocation strategies are the principal determinant in achieving expected investment returns on the plan assets. Actual asset allocations may fluctuate within acceptable ranges due to market value variability. Plan assets are managed by a combination of internal and external asset management companies and are rebalanced when

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

market fluctuations cause an asset category to fall outside of its strategic asset allocation range. Performance of each plan asset category is compared against established indices and similar plan asset groups to evaluate whether the risk associated with the portfolio is appropriate for the level of return.

Basis and procedure for estimating long-term return of each asset category

 

MUFG’s expected long-term rate of return on plan assets for domestic defined benefit pension plans and SIPs is based on a building-block methodology, which calculates the total long-term rate of return of the plan assets by aggregating the weighted rate of return derived from both long-term historical performance and forward-looking return expectations from each asset category.

 

MUFG has determined the expected long-term rate of return for each asset category as below:

 

 Ÿ 

Japanese equity securities: the rate for Japanese debt securities plus a premium for the risk associated with Japanese equity securities

 

 Ÿ 

Japanese debt securities: economic growth rate of Japan

 

 Ÿ 

Non-Japanese equity securities: the rate for non-Japanese debt securities plus a premium for the risk associated with non-Japanese equity securities

 

 Ÿ 

Non-Japanese debt securities: global economic growth rate

 

Foreign offices and subsidiaries periodically reconsider the expected long-term rate of return for their plan assets. TheThey evaluate the investment return volatility of different asset categories are evaluated and compared againstcompare the liability structure of thetheir pension and other benefits to those of other companies, while considering thetheir funding policy to maintain a funded status sufficient to meet participants’ benefit obligations, and reduce long-term funding requirements and pension costs. Based on this information, foreign offices and subsidiaries update the expected long-term rate of return.

 

Cash flows

 

The MUFG Group expects to contribute to the plan assets for the fiscal year ending March 31, 20092011 based upon its current funded status and expected asset return assumptions as follows:

 

For the pension benefits of domestic subsidiaries

  ¥50.433.2 billion

For the pension benefits of foreign offices and subsidiaries

Fair value measurement of the plan assets

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for plan assets measured at fair value as well as the classification of the plan assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy described in Note 31 “Fair Value.”

Government bonds and other debt securities

When quoted market prices are available in an active market, the MUFG Group adopts the quoted market prices to measure the fair value of securities and such securities are classified in Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include Japanese government bonds, most of non-Japanese government bonds and certain corporate bonds. When quoted market prices are available but not traded actively, such securities are classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. When quoted prices are not available, the MUFG Group generally estimates fair values by using non-binding prices obtained from independent pricing vendors. Such securities are generally classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 2 securities include certain non-Japanese government bonds, official institutions bonds and corporate bonds. When there is lack of liquidity for securities or significant inputs adopted to the fair value measurements are unobservable, such securities are classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Such Level 3 securities mainly consist of non-Japanese corporate bonds.

Marketable equity securities

When quoted market prices are available in an active market, the MUFG Group adopts the quoted market prices to measure the fair value of marketable equity securities and such securities are classified in Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. When quoted market prices are available but not traded actively, such securities are classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Japanese pooled funds

Japanese pooled funds are investment fund vehicles designed for Japanese pension plan investments under Japanese pension trust fund regulations. Based upon the nature of the funds’ investments, Japanese pooled funds are categorized into four major fund types; Japanese marketable equity securities type, Japanese debt securities type, Non-Japanese marketable equity securities type and Non-Japanese debt securities type. The other types of funds invest in short-term financial instruments or loans receivable. Japanese pooled funds are generally readily

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

redeemable at their net asset values. The fair values of Japanese pooled funds are measured at their net asset values and generally classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Japanese pooled funds classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy have underlying investments in non-Japanese debt securities and loans receivable whose fair values are measured by using significant unobservable inputs and there is inherent lack of the funds’ liquidity.

Other investment funds

Other investment funds include mutual funds, private investments funds, common collective funds, private equity funds and real estate funds. The fair values are generally measured at their net asset values. The listed investment funds or mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices and generally classified in Level 1 or Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. When there is no available market quotation, the fair values are determined at net asset values. These funds are classified either in Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the level of price observability of the underlying investments in the funds and the funds’ liquidity. Other investment funds classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy mainly consist of certain private investment funds and real estate funds where their fair values are measured by using significant unobservable inputs and there is inherent lack of the funds’ liquidity.

Japanese general accounts of life insurance companies

These instruments are contracts with life insurance companies that guarantee return of a certain level of fixed income, which are mainly invested in assets with low market risk such as Japanese debt securities. They are measured at conversion value and classified in Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy.

Other investments

Other investments mainly consist of call loans and the rest consist of miscellaneous accounts such as deposits with banks and short term investments. These instruments are generally classified in Level 1 or Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy depending on observability of the inputs to measure their fair values.

Beneficial Conversion Feature

 

Convertible preferred stock contains a beneficial conversion feature if the effective conversion price (either initially or after being reset) for a share of common stock upon conversion is less than the market price of a share of common stock when the preferred stock was issued. MUFG accounts for the beneficial conversion features of its preferred stock under the recognition and measurement principles of EITF Issue No. 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversions Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios” and EITF Issue No. 00-27, “Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments.”

 

Beneficial conversion feature discounts are measured as the excess of the market price of a share of common stock when the preferred stock is issued over the initial or reset preferred stock conversion price per share of common stock. Beneficial conversion feature discounts are charged to Capital surplus when recognized and amortized to retained earnings as non-cash preferred dividends using the effective yield method. Initial beneficial conversion feature discounts are amortized over the period from the issuance date of the preferred stock to the mandatory conversion date. Contingent beneficial conversion feature discounts are recognized when the reset conversion price is determinable and amortized over the period from the conversion price reset date to the mandatory conversion date. Any remaining unamortized beneficial conversion feature discount when preferred stock is converted at the option of the holder before the mandatory conversion date is immediately charged to retained earnings as a non-cash preferred dividend.

The Code and the Company Law permitpermits Japanese companies, upon approval by the Board of Directors, to issue shares in the form of a “stock split,” as defined in the CodeCompany Law (see Note 1). Also, the Code prior to April 1, 1991, permitted Japanese companies were permitted to issue free share distributions. BTMU and MUTB from time to time made free share distributions. These free distributions usually ranged from 5% to 10% of outstanding common stock and publicly-owned corporations in the United States issuing shares in similar transactions would be required to account for them as stock dividends as of the shareholders’ record date by reducing retained earnings and increasing the appropriate capital accounts by an amount equal to the fair value of the shares issued. The application of such United States accounting practice to the cumulative free distributions made by BTMU and MUTB at March 31, 2008,2010, would have increased capital accounts by ¥1,910,106 million with a corresponding decrease in unappropriated retained earnings.earnings (accumulated deficit).

21.    REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

 

Japan

 

MUFG, BTMU, MUTB and MUS are subject to various regulatory capital requirements promulgated by the regulatory authorities of the countries in which they operate. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements will initiate certain mandatory actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on MUFG’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In Japan, MUFG, BTMU, and MUTB are subject to regulatory capital requirements promulgated by the FSAFinancial Services Agency of Japan (“FSA”) in accordance with the provisions of the Banking Law and related regulations. A banking institution is subject to the minimum capital requirements both on a consolidated basis and a stand-alone basis, and is required to maintain the minimum capital irrespective of whether it operates independently or as a subsidiary under the control of another company. When a bank holding company manages operations of its banking subsidiaries, it is required to maintain the minimum capital adequacy ratio on a consolidated basis in the same manner as its subsidiary banks. The FSA provides two sets of capital adequacy guidelines. One is a set of guidelines applicable to Japanese banks and bank holding companies with foreign offices conducting international operations, as defined, and the other is applicable to Japanese banks and bank holding companies that are not engaged in international operations.operations conducted by foreign offices.

 

Under the capital adequacy guidelines applicable to a Japanese banking institution with international operations conducted by foreign offices, a minimum capital ratio of 8.0% is required.

 

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS)(“BIS”) sets capital adequacy standards for all internationally active banks to ensure minimum level of capitals.

 

The Basel Committee worked over recent years to revise the 1988 Accord, and in June 2004, “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards: A Revised Framework” called Basel II was released. Basel II has been applied to Japanese banks and bank holding companies as of March 31, 2008. MUFG calculated capital ratios as of March 31, 20072009 and 20082010 in accordance with Basel II.

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Basel II is based on “three pillars”: (1) minimum capital requirements, (2) the self-regulation of financial institutions based on supervisory review process, and (3) market discipline through the disclosure of information. The framework of the 1988 Accord, Basel I, is improved and expanded to be included in “minimum capital requirements” as the first pillar of Basel II.

 

As for the denominator of the capital ratio, retaining the Basel I Framework, Basel II provides more risk-sensitive approaches and a range of options for determining the risk-weighted assets.

 

“Credit Risk”

 

The revised Framework provides options for determining the risk-weighted assets for credit risk to allow banks to select approaches that are most appropriate for their level of risk assessment while the Basel I Framework provided a sole measurement approach. Banks choose one of three approaches: “Standardized Approach”, “Foundation Internal Ratings-Based Approach (FIRB)(“FIRB”)” or “Advanced Internal Ratings-Based Approach (AIRB)(“AIRB”)..

 

“Market Risk”

 

In the “Amendment to the Capital Accord to incorporate market risks” of the year 1996, a choice between two methodologies “the Standardized Methodology” and “Internal Models Approach” is permitted. “Combination of Internal Models Approach and the Standardized Methodology” is also allowed under certain conditions. This is unchanged in Basel II.

 

“Operational Risk”

 

Operational risk, which is defined as the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events, is newly added in Basel II. Basel II presents three methods for calculating operational risk capital charges: (i) the Basic Indicator Approach; (ii) the Standardized Approach; or (iii) Advanced Measurement Approaches (AMA)(“AMA”). Banks adopt one of the three approaches to determine the risk-weighted assets for operational risk.

 

Banks need to obtain approval from their supervisors prior to adopting the following approaches to calculate capital requirements for each risk:

 

 Ÿ 

the Internal Ratings-Based (IRB)(“IRB”) Approach for credit risk

 

 Ÿ 

the Internal Models Approach for market risk

 

 Ÿ 

the Standardized Approach and AMA for operational risk

 

On the other hand, as for the numerator of the capital ratio, Basel II takes over in principle the eligible regulatory capital stipulated in Basel I.

 

Capital is classified into three tiers, referred to as Tier I, Tier II and Tier III capital and deductions from capital.

 

Tier I capital generally consists of shareholders’ equity items, including common stock, preferred stock, capital surplus, minoritynoncontrolling interests and retained earnings, less any recorded goodwill and other items such as treasury stock. Tier II capital generally consists of general reserves for credit losses up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets, 45% of the unrealized gains on investment securities available for sale, 45% of the land revaluation excess, the balance of perpetual subordinated debt and the balance of subordinated term debt with an original maturity of over five

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

maturity of over five years subject to some limitations, up to 50% of Tier I capital. Preferred stock is includable in Tier I capital unless the preferred stock has a fixed maturity, in which case, such preferred stock will be a component of Tier II capital. Tier III capital generally consists of short-term subordinated debt with an original maturity of at least two years, subject to certain limitations. At least 50% of a bank’s capital base must be maintained in the form of Tier I capital.

 

Deductions include a banks’ holdings of capital issued by other banks, or deposit-taking institutions and investments in subsidiaries engaged in banking and financial activities which are not consolidated in accordance with Japanese GAAP.

 

Due to a change in credit risk measurement by adopting Basel II, general provisions for credit losses can be included in Tier II capital according to the proportion of credit risk-weighted assets subject to the Standardized Approach only. Under the IRB approach, the capital is adjusted by the amount of the difference between total eligible provisions and total expected losses calculated within the IRB approach. Under certain conditions, banks are also required to deduct from regulatory capital securitization exposure, any increase in equity capital resulting from a securitization transaction and expected losses on equity exposures under the Probability of Default/Loss Given Default approach.

 

If a banking institution is not engaged in international operations conducted by foreign offices, it is subject to another set of capital adequacy requirements with a minimum capital ratio of 4.0%. Such guidelines incorporate measures of risk under the risk-weighted approach similar to the guidelines applicable to banking institutions with international operations. Qualifying capital is classified into Tier I and Tier II capital.

 

The Banking Law and related regulations require that one of three categories be assigned to banks and bank holding companies, based on its risk-adjusted capital adequacy ratio if the bank fails to meet the minimum target capital adequacy ratio. These categories indicate capital deterioration, which may be subject to certain prompt corrective action by the FSA.

 

MUFG, BTMU and MUTB have international operations conducted by foreign offices, as defined, and are subject to the 8.0% capital adequacy requirement.

 

The MUFG Group’s proprietary assets do not include trust assets under management and administration in a capacity of agent or fiduciary and, accordingly trust account assets are generally not included in the capital measure. However, guarantees for trust principal are counted as off-balance-sheet items requiring a capital charge in accordance with the capital adequacy guidelines.

 

In Basel II, MUFG and most of its major subsidiaries of MUFG adopted FIRBadopt AIRB to calculate capital requirements for credit risk. MUFG adoptedand most of its major subsidiaries adopt the Standardized Approach to calculate capital requirements for operational risk. As for market risk, MUFG adoptedand most of its major subsidiaries adopt the Internal Models Approach mainly to calculate general market risk and adoptedadopt the Standardized Methodology to calculate specific risk.

MUS and other securities subsidiaries in Japan and overseas are also subject to regulatory capital requirements of the countries or jurisdictions in which they operate. In Japan, the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law and related ordinance require financial instruments firms to maintain a minimum capital ratio of 120% calculated as a percentage of capital accounts less certain fixed assets, as determined in accordance with Japanese GAAP, against amounts equivalent to market, counterparty credit and operations risks. Specific guidelines are issued as a ministerial ordinance which details the definition of essential components of the capital ratios, including capital, deductible fixed asset items and risks, and related measures. Failure to maintain a minimum capital ratio will trigger mandatory regulatory actions. A capital ratio of less than 140% will call for regulatory reporting and a capital ratio of less than 100% may lead to a suspension of all or part of the business for a period of time and cancellation of a registration.

The amount of MUS’s capital accounts less certain fixed assets and its percentage to the total amounts equivalent to market, counterparty credit and operations risks at March 31, 2007 have been restated from ¥689,484 million and 456.6% to ¥739,672 and 371.1%, respectively.

Management believes, as of March 31, 2008,2010, that MUFG, BTMU, MUTB and other regulated securities subsidiaries met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

 

United States of America

 

In the United States of America, UNBC and its banking subsidiary Union Bank, N.A. (On December 18, 2008, Union Bank changed its name from Union Bank of California, N.A. (“UBOC”), BTMU’s largest subsidiaries operating outside Japan, are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by U.S. Federal banking agencies, including minimum capital requirements. Under the capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, UNBC and UBOCUnion Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of UNBC’s and UBOC’sUnion Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under U.S. regulatory accounting practices. UNBC’s and UBOC’sUnion Bank’s capital amounts and UBOC’sUnion Bank’s prompt corrective action classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

 

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require UNBC and UBOCUnion Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier I capital (as defined) to quarterly average assets (as defined).

 

Although Basel II is not yet effective in the U.S., the U.S. banking and thrift agencies published in July 2007 an interagency notice regarding the implementation of Basel II in the U.S. The agencies agreed to resolve major outstanding issues and lead to finalization of a rule implementing the advanced approaches for computing large banks’ risk-based capital requirements. The agencies also agreed to proceed promptly to issue a proposed rule that would provide all non-core banks with the option to adopt a standardized approach.

The figures on the tables below are calculated according to Basel I as UNBC and Union Bank do not meet the criteria in the new U.S. rules which would make adoption of the new Basel II is not yet effective in the U.S.rules mandatory. UNBC’s and the UBOC’sUnion Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are presented as follows:

To be categorized as “well capitalized,” UBOCUnion Bank must maintain a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 10%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 6%, and a Tier I leverage ratio of 5% as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed UBOC’sUnion Bank’s category.

24.23.    DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The MUFG Group uses various derivative financial instruments both for trading purposes and for purposes other than trading (primarily risk management purposes) in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its customers, as a source of revenue and to manage its exposures to a variety of risks. Market risk is the possibility that future changes in market indices make the financial instruments less valuable. The MUFG Group is a party to derivatives, including swaps, forwards, options and other types of derivatives, dealing primarily with market risk associated with interest rate, foreign currency, equity and commodity prices, and credit risk associated with counterparty’s nonperformance of transactions.

 

Market risk is the possibility that future changes in market indices make the financial instruments less valuable. Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may result from a counterparty’s failure to perform according to the terms and conditions of the contract, which may exceed the value of underlying collateral. To reduce credit risk,

the MUFG Group may require collateral or guaranties based on a case-by-case assessment of creditworthiness of each customer and evaluation of the instrument. The MUFG Group also uses master netting agreements in order to mitigate overall counterparty credit risk.

 

Trading Activities

 

The MUFG Group’s trading activities include dealing and other activities measured at fair value with gains and losses recognized currently in earnings.customer accommodation activities. As part of its trading activities, the MUFG Group offers a variety of derivative financial instruments and debt instruments for managing interest rate and foreign exchange risk to its domestic and foreign corporate and financial institution customers. The MUFG Group also enters into other types of derivative transactions, including equity and credit-related contracts, for its own account.

 

Risk Management Activities

 

As part of itsMUFG’s risk management activities, the MUFG Group uses certain derivative financial instruments to manage its interest rate and currency exposures. The MUFG Group maintains an overall interest rate risk management strategy that incorporates the use of interest rate contracts to minimize significant unplanned fluctuations in earnings that are caused by interest rate volatility. The MUFG Group’s goal is to manage interest rate sensitivity so that movements in interest rates do not adversely affect net interest income. As a result of interest rate fluctuations, hedged fixed-rate assets and liabilities appreciate or depreciate in market value. Gains or losses on the derivative instruments that are linked to the hedged fixed-rate assets and liabilities are expected to substantially offset this unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Interest income and interest expense on hedged variable-rate assets and liabilities, respectively, increase or decrease as a result of interest rate fluctuations. Gains and losses on the derivative instruments that are linked to these hedged assets and liabilities are expected to substantially offset this variability in earnings.

The MUFG Group enters into interest rate swaps and other contracts as part of its interest rate risk management strategy primarily to alter the interest rate sensitivity of its loans, investment securities and deposit liabilities. The MUFG Group’s principal objectives in risk management include asset and liability management. Asset and liability management is viewed as one of the methods for the MUFG Group to manage its interest rate exposures on interest-bearing assets and liabilities. The MUFG Group uses certain derivative financial instruments in order to minimize significant unplanned fluctuations in earnings that are caused by interest rate volatility. For example, an increase or a decrease of interest income and interest expense on hedged variable-rate assets and liabilities as a result of interest rate fluctuations are expected to substantially offset the variability in earnings by gains and losses on the derivative instruments that are linked to these hedged assets and liabilities.

The MUFG Group enters into interest rate swaps and other contracts primarily to manage the interest rate volatility of its loans, investment securities and deposit liabilities. Interest rate contracts, which are generally non-leveraged generic interest rate and basis swaps, options and futures, allow the MUFG Group to effectively manage its interest rate risk position. Option contracts primarily consist of caps, floors, swaptions and options on index futures. Futures contracts used for asset and liability management activities are primarily index futures providing for cash payments based upon the movement of an underlying rate index. The MUFG Group enters into forward exchange contracts, currency swaps and other contracts in response to currency exposures resulting from on-balance-sheet assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies in order to limit the net foreign exchange position by currency to an appropriate level.

The risk management activities reduce the MUFG Group’s risk exposures economically, however, derivatives used for risk management activities often fail to meet certain conditions to qualify forGroup adopts hedging strategies and applies hedge accounting and the MUFG Group accounts for such derivatives as trading positions.

For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2008, except forto certain derivative transactions conductedentered by certain foreign subsidiaries, the MUFG Group accounted for derivatives held for risk management purposes as trading positions and measured them at fair value.

Embedded Derivatives

Features embedded in other non-derivative hybrid contracts are separated from the host contracts and measured at fair value when they are not clearly and closely related to the host contracts and meet the definition of a derivative. The change in the fair value of such an embedded derivative is recognized currently in earnings, unless it qualifies as a hedge. The fair value of the embedded derivative is presented in the consolidated balance sheets with the host contract. The MUFG Group accounts for credit-linked notes as host contracts with embedded derivatives and measures the entire contracts at fair value.

UNBC

Derivative positions are integral components of UNBC’s designated asset and liability management activities. UNBC uses interest rate derivatives to manage the sensitivity of UNBC’s net interest income to changes in interest rates. These instruments are used to manage interest rate risk relating to specified groups of assets and liabilities, primarily LIBOR-based commercial loans, certificates of deposit and subordinated debt.whose fiscal periods end on December 31.

 

Cash Flow Hedges

 

Hedging Strategies for Variable Rate Loans, Borrowings and Certificates of Deposit (“CD”) and Other Time Deposits

 

UNBC engages in several types of cash flow hedging strategies for which the hedged transactions arerelated to forecasted future loan interest payments, andwith the hedged risk isbeing the variability in those payments due to changes in the designated benchmark rate, e.g., U.S. dollar LIBOR. In these strategies, the hedging instruments are matched with groups of similar variable rate loansinstruments such that the reset tenor of the variable rate loansinstruments and that of the hedging instrument are identical. Cash flow hedging strategies include the utilization of purchased floor, cap, collarcollars and corridor options and interest rate swaps. At December 31, 2007,2009, the weighted average remaining life of the currently active (excluding any forward positions) cash flow hedges was approximately 1.72.2 years.

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

UNBC uses purchased interest rate floors to hedge the variable cash flows associated with 1-month LIBOR or 3-month LIBOR indexed loans. Payments received under the floor contract offset the decline in loan interest income caused byif the relevant LIBOR index fallingfalls below the floor’s strike rate.

 

UNBC uses interest rate floor corridors to hedge the variable cash flows associated with 1-month LIBOR or 3-month LIBOR indexed loans. Net payments to be received under the floor corridor contracts offset the decline in loan interest income caused byif the relevant LIBOR index fallingfalls below the corridor’s upper strike rate, but only to the extent the index falls toremains above the lower strike rate. The corridor will not provide protection from declines in the relevant LIBOR index to the extent it falls below the corridor’s lower strike rate.

 

UNBC uses interest rate collars to hedge the variable cash flows associated with 1-month LIBOR or 3-month LIBOR indexed loans. Net payments to be received under the collar contract offset the declinedeclines in loan interest income caused byif the relevant LIBOR index fallingfalls below the collar’s floor strike rate, while net payments to be paid will reduce the increase in loan interest income caused byif the LIBOR index risingrises above the collar’s cap strike rate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

UNBC uses interest rate swaps to hedge the variable cash flows associated with 1-month LIBOR or 3-month LIBOR indexed loans. Payments to be received (or paid) under the swap contract will offset the fluctuations in loan interest income caused by changes in the relevant LIBOR index. As such, these instruments hedge all fluctuations in the loans’ interest income caused by changes in the relevant LIBOR index.

 

UNBC uses purchased interest rate caps to hedge the variable interest cash flows associated with 1-month or 3-month LIBOR indexed borrowings. Payments received under the cap contract offset the increase in borrowing interest expense if the relevant LIBOR index rises above the cap’s strike rate.

UNBC uses purchased interest rate caps to hedge the variable interest cash flows associated with the forecasted issuance and rollover of short-term, fixed rate CDs. In these hedging relationships, UNBC hedges the change in interest rates based on 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month LIBOR, component of the CD rates, which is 3-month LIBOR, based onconsistent with the CDs’ original term to maturity whichand reflects their repricing frequency. Net payments to be received under the cap contract offset the increaseincreases in interest expense caused by the relevant LIBOR index rising above the cap’s strike rate.

 

UNBC uses interest rate cap corridors to hedge the variable cash flows associated with the forecasted issuance and rollover of short-term, fixed rate CDs. In these hedging relationships, UNBC hedges the LIBOR component of the CDchanges in interest rates, either 1-month, LIBOR, 3-month, LIBOR, or 6-month LIBOR, based on the original term to maturity of the CDs, which reflects their repricing frequency.CDs.

The corridor will not provide protection from increases in the relevant LIBOR index to the extent it rises above the corridor’s upper strike rate.

 

Hedging transactions are structured at inception so that the notional amounts of the hedgehedging instruments are matched withto an equal principal amount of loans, CDs, or CDs,borrowings, the index and repricing frequencies of the hedgehedging instruments match those of the loans, CDs, or CDs,borrowings and the period in which the designated hedged cash flows occurs is equal to the term of the hedge.hedge instruments. As such, most of the ineffectiveness in the hedging relationship results from the mismatch between the timing of reset dates on the hedgehedging instruments versus those of the loans, CDs or CDs. For the year ended December 31, 2007, UNBC recognized a net loss of ¥2 million due to ineffectiveness, which is recognized in other noninterest expense, compared to a net loss of ¥11 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 and a net gain of ¥12 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.borrowings.

 

For cash flow hedges, basedthe effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instruments is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged cash flows are recognized in net interest income.

Based upon amounts included in Accumulatedaccumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources at March 31, 2008,2010, the MUFG Group expects to realize approximately ¥1¥3.3 billion in net interest income for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009.2011. This amount could differ from amounts actually realized due to changes in interest rates and the addition of other hedges subsequent to March 31, 2008.2010.

 

Fair Value Hedges

Economic Hedging Strategy for “MarketPath” Certificates of Deposit

UNBC engages in an economic hedging strategy in which interest bearing CDs issued to customers, which are tied to the changes in the Standard and Poor’s 500 index, are exchanged for a fixed rate of interest. UNBC accounts for the embedded derivative in the CDs at fair value. A total return swap that encompasses the value of a series of options that had individually hedged each CD is valued at fair value. The change in fair value of the embedded derivative and hedging instrument are recognized as interest expense.

 

Hedging Strategy for Subordinated Debt

 

In the first quarter of 2009, UNBC engages in anterminated all of its interest rate hedging strategyswaps, which were previously used to hedge subordinated debt. The notional amount of the terminated swaps was ¥87.5 billion. These swaps were not replaced. As a result of the termination, UNBC received ¥15.4 billion in cash, which anis treated as a deferred gain and recognized over the remaining contractual life of the subordinated debt.

Economic Hedging

In 2008, UNBC began offering markets-linked certificates of deposit. The terms of the market-linked CD allow the client to earn the higher of either a minimum fixed rate of interest rate swap is associatedor a return tied to the Standard and Poor’s 500 index (“S&P 500”) or the Dow Jones UBS Commodity Index. UNBC hedges its exposure to the embedded derivative contained in market-linked CDs with a specified interest bearing liability, UNBC’s ten-year, subordinated debt issuance, in order to convertperfectly matched over-the-counter call option. Both the liability from a fixed rate to a floating rate instrument. This strategy mitigatesembedded derivative and call option are recorded at fair value with the realized and unrealized changes in fair value recorded in noninterest income within trading account activities.

Single name credit default swaps—A credit default swap protects the buyer against the loss of principal on a bond or loan in case of a default by the issuer. The protection buyer pays a periodic premium over the life of the contracts and is protected for the period. The MUFG Group in turn will have to perform under a credit default swap if a credit event as defined under the contracts occurs. In order to provide an indication of the current payment/performance risk of the credit default swaps, the external credit ratings, primarily Moody’s and S&P credit ratings, of the underlying reference entity of the credit default swaps are disclosed.

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Index and basket credit default swaps—Index and basket credit default swaps are credit default swaps that reference multiple names through underlying baskets or portfolios of single name credit default swaps. Typically, in the event of a default on one of underlying names, the MUFG Group will have to pay a pro rata portion of the total notional amount of the credit default index or basket contract. In order to provide an indication of the current payment/performance risk of these credit default swaps, BTMU and MUS rating scale based upon the internal ratings, which generally corresponds to ratings defined primarily by Moody’s and S&P, of the underlying reference entities comprising the basket or index were calculated and disclosed. As for the current payment/performance risk of these credit default swaps, MUTB rating scale is based upon the entity’s internal ratings, which is the same credit rating system utilized for estimating probabilities of default within its loan portfolio.

Credit-linked notes (“CLNs“)—The MUFG Group has invested in CLNs, which are hybrid instruments containing embedded derivatives, in which credit protection has been sold to the issuer of the note. If there is a credit event of a reference entity underlying the CLN, the principal balance of the note may not be repaid in full to the MUFG Group. As part of its financing activities, MUS and other securities subsidiaries in Japan and overseas issue CLNs.

The MUFG Group may economically hedge its exposure to credit derivatives by entering into offsetting derivative contracts. The carrying value and notional value of credit protection sold in which the MUFG Group held purchased protection with identical underlying referenced entities were approximately ¥201 billion and ¥2,605 billion, respectively, at inceptionMarch 31, 2009, and approximately ¥12 billion and ¥2,948 billion, respectively, at March 31, 2010.

Collateral is held by the MUFG Group in relation to mirrorthese instruments. Collateral requirements are determined at the counterparty level and cover numerous transactions and products as opposed to individual contracts.

Credit Risk, Liquidity Risk and Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

Certain of the MUFG Group’s derivative instruments contain provisions that require the MUFG Group’s debt to maintain an investment grade credit rating from each of the major credit rating agencies. If the MUFG Group’s debt were to fall below investment grade, it would be in violation of these provisions, and the counterparties to the derivative instruments could request immediate payment or demand immediate and ongoing full overnight collateralization on derivative instruments in net liability positions. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a liability position on March 31, 2010, is approximately ¥3.3 trillion for which the MUFG Group has posted collateral of approximately ¥295 billion in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2010, additional collateral and termination payments pursuant to bilateral agreements with certain counterparties are approximately ¥170 billion and ¥73 billion, respectively, which could have been called by counterparties, if all of the provisions of the subordinated debt, which allows UNBC to assume that no ineffectiveness exists.

Other

UNBC uses To-Be-Announced (“TBA”) contracts to fix the price and yield of anticipated purchases or sales of mortgage-backed securities that will be delivered at an agreed upon date. This strategy hedges the risk of variability in the cash flows to be paid or received upon settlement of the TBA contract.credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements were triggered.

 

25.24.    OBLIGATIONS UNDER GUARANTEES AND OTHER OFF-BALANCE-SHEET INSTRUMENTS

 

Obligations under Guarantees

 

The MUFG Group provides customers with a variety of guarantees and similar arrangements, including standby letters of credit, financial and performance guarantees, credit protections, liquidity facilities, other off-balance-sheet credit-related supports and similar instruments, in order to meet the customers’ financial and business needs. The table below summarizes the contractual or notional amounts with regard to obligations under guarantees and similar arrangements at March 31, 20072009 and 2008.2010. The contractual or notional amounts of these instruments represent the maximum potential amounts of future payments without consideration of possible recoveries under recourse provisions or from collateral held or pledged.

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

For certain types of derivatives, such as written interest rate options and written currency options, the maximum potential future payments are unlimited. Accordingly, it is impracticable to estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments. As such, the notional amounts of the related contracts, other than the maximum potential payments, are included in the table.

 

The MUFG Group mitigates credit risk exposure resulting from guarantees by utilizing various techniques, including collateralization in the form of cash, securities, and real properties based on management’s credit assessment of the guaranteed parties and the related credit profile. In order to manage the credit risk exposure, the MUFG Group also enters into sub-participation contracts with third parties who will fund a portion of the credit facility and bear its share of the loss to be incurred in the event that the borrower fails to fulfill its obligations. The following table includes unfunded commitmentsguarantees of ¥178.9¥189.0 billion and ¥187.3¥195.7 billion at March 31, 20072009 and 2008,2010, respectively, which are participated out to third parties. The contractual or notional amounts summarized in the following table do not necessarily bear any direct relationship to the future actual credit exposure, primarily because of those risk management techniques.

Nature of Guarantee Contracts

 

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees generally include an obligation of an issuer or a designated third party to guarantee the performance of the customer to the beneficiary under the terms of contracts such as lending contracts and other similar financial transactions. The MUFG Group is required to make payments to the guaranteed parties in the events that the customers fail to fulfill the obligations under the contracts. The guarantees whose contractual maturities are over 5 years are mainly comprised of guarantees of housing loans.

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Performance guarantees are the contracts that contingently require the MUFG Group to make payments to the guaranteed party based on another party’s failure to perform under an obligating agreement, except financial obligation. For example, performance guarantees include guarantees of completion of construction projects.

 

Derivative instruments that are deemed to be included within the definition of guarantees as prescribed in FIN No. 45the guidance on guarantees include certain written options and credit default swaps. In order for the MUFG Group to determine if those derivative instruments meet the definition of guarantees as prescribed in FIN No. 45,the guidance on guarantees, the MUFG Group has to track whether the counterparties are actually exposed to the losses that will result from the adverse change in the underlyings. Accordingly, the MUFG Group has disclosed information on all credit default swaps and certain written options for which there is a possibility of meeting the definition of guarantees as prescribed in FIN No. 45,the guidance on guarantees, regardless of whether the counterparties have assets or liabilities related to the underlyings of the derivatives. However, credit derivatives sold by the MUFG Group at March 31, 2009 and 2010 are excluded from this presentation, as they are disclosed in Note 23.

 

Guarantees for the repayment of trust principal include guarantees which the MUFG Group provides for the repayment of principal of certain types of trust products, including certain jointly operated designated money in trusts and loan trusts. The MUFG Group manages and administers trust assets in a capacity of agent or fiduciary on behalf of its customers and trust assets are segregated from the assets of the MUFG Group, which keeps

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

separate records for the trust activities. The MUFG Group, in principle, does not assume any risks associated with the trust assets under management, however, as permitted by applicable laws, the MUFG Group provides guarantees for the repayment of principal of such trust products. At March 31, 20072009 and 2008,2010, the contract amounts of such guarantees for repayment of trust principal were ¥1,921¥1,235 billion and ¥1,468¥1,104 billion, respectively. The accounting methods used for the segregated records of trust activities are different from financial accounting principles and practices. However, the MUFG Group follows an approach similar to those used for its own assets to identify an impairment of an asset included in the trusts with guaranteed principal, with inherent variations applicable to trust accounting. Amounts of loans deemed to be impaired are written off directly and are charged to the trust account profits earned during the trust accounting period. Write-downs of securities are also directly charged to the trust account profits. The amounts of trust assets written-off in the segregated records were ¥118¥9 million and ¥9 million,nil, for the fiscal years ended March 31, 20072009 and 2008,2010, respectively. These amounts were reflected in the segregated records as deductions before net profits earned by trust accounts for the accounting period. In addition, a part of trust account profits is set aside as a reserve to absorb losses in the trust asset portfolios in the segregated records in accordance with relevant legislation concerning the trust business and/or trust agreements. Statutory reserves for loan trusts are established at a rate of 4.0% of the trust fees up to the amounts of 0.5% of the trust principal in accordance with the legislation. Reserves for jointly operated designated money in trusts are established at a rate of 0.3% of the balance of loans and other assets in the trust account assets in accordance with the related trust agreement. The amounts of such reserves set aside in the segregated records were ¥2,888¥1,196 million and ¥1,839¥727 million at March 31, 20072009 and 2008,2010, respectively. The MUFG Group is required to provide an allowance for off-balance-sheet instruments on such guarantees in the financial statements only when aggregate losses on trust assets are judged to exceed the reserve and the profit earned by the trust account, and the principal is deemed to be impaired. Management believes that the MUFG Group will not incur any losses on the guarantees.

 

Liabilities of trust accounts represent the trustee’s potential responsibility for temporary payments to creditors of liabilities of trust accounts making use of funds of the MUFG Group, unless there are the certain agreements with trust creditors that have provisions limiting the MUFG Group’s responsibility as a trustee to the trust account assets. A trust may incur external liabilities to obtain certain services during the terms of the trust arrangement. While, in principle, any liabilities of a trust are payable by the trust account and its beneficiaries, a trustee’s responsibility may be interpreted to encompass temporary payments for the trust account liabilities when the trust account does not maintain sufficient liquidity available for such liabilities unless the agreement

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

with trust creditors does not limit the trustee’s responsibility to the trust account assets. At March 31, 20072009 and 2008,2010, there were liabilities of ¥3,722¥3,158 billion and ¥4,085¥4,326 billion, respectively, in the segregated records of trust accounts including the amounts related to liabilities with provisions limiting trustee responsibility. Liabilities of trust accounts principally included obligations to return collateral under security lending transactions. The MUFG Group has experienced no significant losses on such responsibilities and its exposure to the risk associated with the temporary payments is judged to be remote because trust account liabilities are generally covered by the corresponding trust account assets; the MUFG Group continuously monitors the liabilities of trust accounts and assesses the trust account’s ability to perform its obligations to prevent any unfavorable outcomes; and the MUFG Group claims its recourse for its temporary payments against the trust account assets and the beneficiaries.

 

Other includes contingent consideration agreements and security lending indemnifications. Contingent consideration agreements provide guarantees on additional payments to acquired insurance agencies’ shareholders based on the agencies’ future performance in excess of established revenue and/or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization thresholds. Security lending indemnifications are the indemnifications for institutional customers of securities lending transactions against counterparty default. All lending transactions are collateralized, primarily by cash.

Carrying Amount

 

At March 31, 20072009 and 2008,2010, the carrying amounts of the liabilities related to guarantees and similar instruments set forth above were ¥763,234¥1,364,620 million and ¥1,145,698¥1,171,417 million, respectively, which are included in Other liabilities and Trading account liabilities. However, credit derivatives sold by the MUFG Group at March 31, 2009 and 2010 are excluded from this presentation, as they are disclosed in Note 23. In addition, Other liabilities also include an allowance for off-balance-sheet instruments of ¥51,406¥46,757 million and ¥58,316¥41,991 million, respectively, related to these transactions.

Performance Risk

The MUFG Group monitors the performance risk of its guarantees using the same credit rating system utilized for estimating probabilities of default within its loan portfolio. The MUFG Group credit rating system is consistent with both the method of evaluating credit risk under Basel II and those of third-party credit rating agencies. On certain underlying referenced credits or entities, ratings are not available. Such referenced credits are included in the “Not rated” category.

Presented in the table below is the maximum potential amount of future payments classified based upon internal credit ratings as of March 31, 2009 and 2010. The determination of the maximum potential future payments is based on the notional amount of the guarantees without consideration of possible recoveries under recourse provisions or from collateral held or pledged. Such amounts bear no relationship to the anticipated losses, if any, on these guarantees.

Notes:

(1)Borrowers classified as “Close watch” require close scrutiny because their business performance is unstable or their financial condition is unfavorable.
(2)Borrowers classified as “Likely to become Bankrupt” are not yet bankrupt, but are in financial difficulty with poor progress in achieving their business restructuring plans or are likely to bankrupt in the future. Borrowers classified as “Legally or Virtually Bankrupt” are considered to be legally bankrupt or are virtually bankrupt.

The guarantees the MUFG Group does not classify based upon internal credit ratings are as follows.

The MUFG Group records all derivative contracts at fair value. Aggregate market risk limits have been established, and market risk measures are routinely monitored against these limits. The MUFG Group also manages its exposure to these derivative contracts through a variety of risk mitigation strategies, including, but not limited to, offsetting economic hedge positions. The MUFG Group expects the risk of loss to be remote and believes that the notional amounts of the derivative contracts generally exceed its exposure.

Guarantees for the repayment of trust principal include guarantees which the MUFG Group provides for the repayment of principal of certain types of trust products, including certain jointly operated designated money in trusts and loan trusts. The MUFG Group stably manages and administers such trust products with attention to risk and the profitability of trust assets. Management believes that the MUFG Group will not incur any losses on the guarantees.

Liabilities of trust accounts represent the trustee’s potential responsibility for temporary payments to creditors of liabilities of trust accounts making use of funds of the MUFG Group. The MUFG Group has experienced no significant losses on such responsibilities and its exposure to the risk associated with the temporary payments is judged to be remote because trust account liabilities are generally covered by the corresponding trust account assets.

The MUFG Group conducts securities lending transactions for institutional customers as a fully disclosed agent. At times, securities lending indemnifications are issued to guarantee that a security lending customer will be made whole in the event the borrower does not return the security subject to the lending agreement and collateral held is insufficient to cover the market value of the security. All lending transactions are collateralized, primarily by cash. At March 31, 2010, the MUFG Group had no exposure that would require it to pay under this securities lending indemnification, since the collateral market value exceeds the securities lent.

 

Other Off-balance-sheet Instruments

 

In addition to obligations under guarantees and similar arrangements set forth above, the MUFG Group issues other off-balance-sheet instruments to meet the financial needs of its customers and for purposes other than trading. Such off-balance-sheet instruments consist of lending-related commitments, including commitments to extend credit and commercial letters of credit that the MUFG Group provides to meet the financing needs of

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

its customers. Once the MUFG Group issues these financial instruments, the MUFG Group is required to extend credit to or make certain payments to the customers or beneficiaries specified pursuant to the underlying contracts unless otherwise provided in the contracts. Since many of these commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. At March 31, 2008,2010, approximately 72%76% of these commitments will expire within one year, 26%23% from one year to five years and 2%1% after five years. The table below summarizes the contractual amounts with regard to these commitments at March 31, 20072009 and 2008:2010:

Commitments to extend credit, which generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses, are legally binding agreements to lend to customers. Commitments are different from guarantees in that the commitments are generally revocable or have provisions that enable the MUFG Group to avoid payments in the event of violations of any conditions of the contracts and certain deterioration of the potential borrowers’ financial condition. Commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

 

Commercial letters of credit, used for facilitating trade transactions, are generally secured by underlying goods. The MUFG Group continually monitors the type and amount of collateral and other security, and requires counterparties to provide additional collateral or guarantors as necessary.

 

Commitments to make investments are legally binding contracts to make additional contributions to corporate recovery or private equity investment funds in accordance with limited partnership agreements. Some of these funds, in which the MUFG Group has significant variable interests, are described in Note 26.

26.25.    VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

 

In the normal course of its business, the MUFG Group has financial interests in various entities which may be deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) such as asset-backed commercial paper conduits, securitization conduits of client properties, various investment funds, special purpose entities created for structured financing, repackaged instruments, and repackaged instruments.

Asset-backed Commercial Paper Conduits

The MUFG Group administers several multi-seller finance entities (primarily commercial paper conduits) that purchase financialMaximum exposure to loss on each type of entity is determined, based on the carrying amount of any on-balance-sheet assets primarily poolsand any off-balance-sheet liability held, net of receivables, from third-party customers. The assets purchased by these conduits are generally funded by issuing commercial paperany recourse liabilities. Therefore, the maximum exposure to and/or by borrowings fromloss represents the theoretical maximum loss the MUFG Group or third parties. While customers basically continuecould possibly incur at each balance sheet date and does not reflect the likelihood of ever incurring such a loss. The difference between the amount of on-balance-sheet assets and the maximum exposure to provide servicing forloss primarily comprises the transferred trade receivables, the MUFG Group underwrites, distributes, makes a market in commercial paper issued by the conduits, and also provides liquidity and credit support facilities to the entities.

Securitization Conduits of Client Properties

The MUFG Group administers several conduits that acquire assets, such as real estate, from third-party customers (“property sellers”) with the property sellers continuing to use the acquired real estate through lease-back agreements. The equity of the conduits is provided by the property sellers but such equity holders have no ability to make decisions about the activities of the conduits. Thus, the MUFG Group considers those conduits to be VIEs. The assets acquired by these conduits are generally funded by borrowings from the MUFG Group or third parties.remaining undrawn commitments.

Analysis of Each Transaction Category

Investment FundsAsset-Backed Conduits

This category primarily comprises the following:

Multi-Seller Conduits (MUFG-sponsored Asset-Backed Commercial Paper (“ABCP”) Conduits and Other ABCP Conduits)

 

The MUFG Group holds investments and loansadministers several conduits under asset-backed financing programs under which the conduits purchase financial assets from the MUFG Group’s customers, primarily trade accounts receivables, by issuing short-term financing instruments, primarily commercial paper, to third-party investors. Under the asset-backed financing programs, the MUFG Group acts as an agent for the conduits, which enter into agreements with the MUFG Group’s customers where the customers transfer assets to the conduits in various investment funds that collectively invest in equity and debt securities including listed Japanese securities and investment grade bonds, and, to a limited extent, securities and other interests issued by companies, including in a start-up or restructuring stage. Such investment funds are managed by investment advisory companies or fund management companies that make investment decisions and administer the funds.

The MUFG Group not only managesalso underwrites commercial paper for the composition of investment trust funds but also plays a major role in composing venture capital funds.conduits that is secured by the assets held by them and provides program-wide liquidity and credit support facilities to the conduits. The MUFG Group generally doesreceives fees related to the services it provides to the conduits and the program-wide liquidity and credit support. Because of the program-wide credit support that the MUFG Group provides as a sponsor in respect to the financing by the conduits, it is exposed to the majority of the expected variability of the conduits. Therefore, the MUFG Group considers itself to be the primary beneficiary and consolidates the multi-seller conduits. While the MUFG Group has significant involvement with the conduits, it has never provided financial or any other support that are not havecontractually required to provide in the past. In addition, the assets purchased by the conduits are of high quality in their credit standing and mostly short-term in nature. Therefore, the MUFG Group believes the risks involved in these transactions are significantly limited relative to the transaction size.

In addition to the entities described above, the MUFG Group participates as a provider of financing to several conduits that are administered by third parties. Most of these conduits are established under a multi-seller asset-backed financing program and the MUFG Group provides financing along with other financial institutions. With respect to these conduits, the MUFG Group is not considered as the primary beneficiary because the MUFG Group’s participation in the financing is not significant variable interests through composing these types of funds.relative to the total financing provided by third parties or there is sufficient funding or financial support that is subordinate to the financing provided by the MUFG Group.

 

Special Purpose Entities Created for Structured FinancingAsset-Backed Conduits (MUFG-sponsored Asset-Backed Loan (“ABL”) Programs and Other Programs)

 

The MUFG Group extends non-recourseadministers several conduits under asset-backed loans to special purpose entities, which hold beneficial interests primarily in real properties, to provide financing for special purpose projects including real estate development and natural resource development managed by third parties.

The MUFG Group generally acts as a member of a lending group and does not have any equity investment in the entities, which is typically provided by project owners. For most of these financings, the equity provided by the project owners is of sufficient level to absorb expected losses, while expected residual returns to the owners are arranged to be the most significant among all returns. Accordingly, the MUFG Group has determined that the MUFG Group is not the primary beneficiary of most of these entities. However, in transactions with entities whose investments at risk are exceptionally thin,program where the MUFG Group provides financing to fund the conduits’ purchases of financial assets, comprising primarily trade accounts receivables, from its customers. The MUFG Group acts as an agent and sponsor for the conduits, which enter into agreements with the MUFG Group’s customers where the customers transfer assets to the conduits in exchange for monetary consideration. In most of the financing,cases the MUFG Group is ultimately required to consolidatethe sole provider of financing that is secured by the assets held by the conduits and because of this type of entity.

Repackaged Instruments

In addition, the assets purchased by the conduits are of relationships with special purpose entities that repackage financial instruments to create new financial instruments.

The MUFG Group provides repackaged instruments with features that meet the customers’ needshigh quality in their credit standing and preferences through special purpose entities. The MUFG Group purchases financial instruments such as bonds and transfers them to special purpose entities which then issue new instruments. The special purpose entities may enter into derivative transactions including interest rate and currency swaps withmostly short-term in nature. Therefore, the MUFG Group or other financial institutionsbelieves the risks involved in these transactions are significantly limited relative to modify the cash flows of the underlying financial instruments. The MUFG Group underwrites and markets the new instruments issued by the special purpose entities to its customers.transaction size.

 

The MUFG Group also invests in repackaged instruments arranged and issued by third parties.

The MUFG Group has established several wholly owned funding vehicles to enhance the flexibility of its capital management. Management has determined thatIn addition, the MUFG Group does not have significant variable interestsis involved with entities, which take in these conduitsmost cases, the form of a trust, where originators of financial assets, which would require disclosure or consolidation.

The originators then transfer the beneficiary certificates to the MUFG Group offersin exchange for cash. Because the MUFG Group participates in a varietymajority of asset managementthe economics generated from these entities through the beneficiary certificates that it holds, it is considered as the primary beneficiary and administration services under trust arrangements including securities investment trusts, pension trusts and trusts used as securitization vehicles.the MUFG Group consolidates these trusts.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

AlthoughThe MUFG Group also participates as a provider of financing the ABL programs that are managed by third parties. The MUFG Group is not considered as the primary beneficiary of the entities used in these programs as the MUFG Group’s participation to financing is not significant relative to the total financing provided by the third parties or there is sufficient funding or financial support that is subordinate to the financing provided by the MUFG Group.

Investment Funds

This category primarily comprises the following:

Corporate Recovery Funds

These entities are established by fund managers, which are unrelated to the MUFG Group, for the purpose of investing in debt or equity instruments issued by distressed companies. After investment, the fund managers work closely with the management of the issuers and attempt to enhance corporate value by various means including corporate restructuring and reorganization. Their exit strategies include, among other things, sales to others and Initial Public Offerings (“IPOs”).

Typically, these entities take the form of a limited partnership which is entirely funded by general and limited partner interests. In some cases, the general partners of the partnerships are entities that have no substantive decision making ability. The fund managers that establish these partnerships assume investment management and day-to-day operation by entering into asset management contracts with the general partners. These partnerships are, therefore, financing vehicles and as such are considered as VIEs. In other cases, the general partners have substantive decision making ability but the partnerships are considered as VIEs when the general partners’ investments in the partnerships are considered as non-substantive, usually based on the percentage interest held, and they do not have substantive limited partner interests.

The MUFG Group participates in these partnerships as a limited partner. While the MUFG Group’s share in partnership interests is limited in most cases, the MUFG Group is the only limited partner in some cases and it consolidates these partnerships as the primary beneficiary.

Private Equity Funds

The MUFG Group is involved in venture capital funds that are established by either the MUFG Group’s entities or fund managers unrelated to the MUFG Group. These entities have specific investment objectives in connection with their acquisition of equity interests, such as providing financing and other support to start-up businesses, medium and small entities in a particular geographical area, and to companies with certain technology or companies in a high-growth industry.

These entities typically take the form of limited partnerships and usually are entirely funded by general and limited partner interests. The general partners of the partnerships in some cases are entities that have no substantive decision making ability. The fund managers that establish these partnerships assume investment management and day-to-day operation by entering into asset management contracts with the general partners. These partnerships are therefore financing vehicles and as such are considered as VIEs. In other cases, the general partners have substantive decision making ability and the partnerships are considered as VIEs even when the general partners’ investments in the partnerships are considered as non-substantive, usually based on the percentage interest held, and they do not have substantive limited partner interests.

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

The MUFG Group participates in these partnerships as a general partner or a limited partner. While the MUFG Group’s share in partnership interests is limited in most cases, the MUFG Group provides most of the financing to the partnerships in some cases and it consolidates them as the primary beneficiary.

Investment Trusts

The MUFG Group invests in investment trusts that are professionally managed collective investment schemes which pool money from many investors and invest in, among others, equity and debt securities. Most of these funds take the form of a trust where there is a separation in investment decisions, which is assumed by an investment manager who has no investment in a trust, and ownership through beneficiary interests issued by a trust are owned by investors. Therefore, these investment trusts are considered as VIEs. The MUFG Group consolidates investment trusts when it owns a majority of the interests issued by investment trusts.

Buy-out Financing Vehicles

The MUFG Group provides financing to buy-out vehicles. The vehicles are established by equity investments from, among others, private equity funds or the management of target companies for the purpose of purchasing equity shares of target companies. Along with other financial institutions, the MUFG Group provides financing to buy-out vehicles in the form of loans. While the buy-out vehicles’ equity is normally substantive in amount and the rights and obligations associated with it, in some cases the vehicles have equity that is insufficient to absorb variability primarily because the amount provided by equity investors is nominal in nature. These vehicles are considered as VIEs and an assessment as to whether the MUFG Group is the primary beneficiary is required. In most cases, however, the MUFG Group mitigates its risk by requiring third-party guarantees with collateral or reducing its exposure to an adequate level by providing loans as one of several lenders. As a result, the MUFG Group is not considered as the primary beneficiary of these entities.

Special Purpose Entities Created for Structured Financing

This category primarily comprises the following:

Leveraged Leasing Vehicles

These entities are established to raise funds to purchase or build equipment and machinery including commercial vessels, passenger and cargo aircrafts, production equipment and other machinery, for the purpose of leasing them to lessees who use the equipment and machinery as part of their business operations. These entities typically take the form of a limited partnership or a special purpose company where they fund their purchases of equipment and machinery via senior and subordinate financing. In some cases, the entities are funded only by senior financing or there is a guarantee provided to the senior financing by parties unrelated to those providing the senior financing. In most cases, the MUFG Group participates in the senior financing and does not participate in the subordinate financing or provide guarantees. The subordinate financing or the third-party guarantee is substantive and would absorb expected variability generated by the assets held by the entities. In exceptional cases where there is no guarantee from a third-party or there is not sufficient subordinate financing, the MUFG Group consolidates the entities as the primary beneficiary. In some limited cases, the MUFG Group may assume risks through guarantees or certain protections as provided inprovides a residual value guarantee to the agreements or relevant legislation,leased assets. Based on expected loss analysis, the MUFG Group has determined that it willdoes not absorb aparticipate in the majority of expected lossesvariability of the entities involved and does not consolidate these entities.

Project Financing Vehicles

These entities are established to raise funds in connection with, among other things, production of natural resources, construction and development of urban infrastructure (including power plants and grids, highways and

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

ports), and the development of real estate properties or complexes. These projects typically involve special purpose companies which issue senior and subordinate financing to raise funds in connection with the various projects. The subordinate financing is usually provided by parties that will ultimately make use of the assets constructed or developed. By contrast, the senior financing is typically provided by financial institutions, including the MUFG Group. Because the MUFG Group’s participation in the financing is limited or there is sufficient subordinate financing, the MUFG Group is not considered as the primary beneficiary of these entities and does not consolidate these entities.

Sale and Leaseback Vehicles

The MUFG Group is involved with vehicles that acquire assets, primarily real estate, from the MUFG Group’s clients and other unrelated parties where the sellers of the assets continue to use the assets through leaseback agreements. These vehicles typically take the form of a limited partnership where the general partner has effectively no decision making ability because an equity holder of the general partner serves a perfunctory role. Therefore, these vehicles are considered as VIEs. The subordinated financing of these vehicles is usually provided by the sellers of the assets, with the MUFG Group providing senior financing for the vehicles. The subordinated financing of these entities absorbs the expected variability generated from the assets held and as such, the MUFG Group is not considered as the primary beneficiary.

Securitization of Client Real Estate Properties

These entities are established for the purpose of securitizing real estate properties held by the MUFG Group’s customers. In most cases, these entities take the form of a limited partnership or a special purpose company. These entities are designed to have non-substantive decision making ability because the general partner or an equity holder serves a perfunctory role. The entities are typically funded by senior and subordinated financing where the original owners of the properties provide the subordinated financing, primarily in the form of partnership interests or subordinated notes, and financial institutions, including the MUFG Group, provide senior financing in the form of senior loans. The subordinated financing of these entities absorbs the expected variability generated from the assets held and as such, the MUFG Group is not considered as the primary beneficiary.

Repackaged Instruments

This category primarily comprises the following:

Investments in Financially-Engineered Products

The MUFG Group is involved in special purpose entities that have been established to issue financial products through the engineering and repackaging of existing financial instruments, such as collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”) and synthetic CDOs. These special purpose entities are considered as VIEs because they do not have substantive decision making ability. These special purpose entities are arranged and managed by parties that are not related to the MUFG Group. The MUFG Group’s involvement with these entities is for investment purposes. In most cases, the MUFG Group participates as one of many other investors and the MUFG Group typically holds investments in senior tranches or tranches with high credit ratings. Therefore, the MUFG Group is not considered as the primary beneficiary except in limited circumstances where the MUFG Group holds the majority of instruments issued by a single-tranche vehicle.

Investments in Securitized Financial Instruments

The MUFG Group holds investments in special purpose entities that issue securitized financial products. The assets held by the special purpose entities include credit card receivables and residential mortgage loans.

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

These entities are established and managed by parties that are unrelated to the MUFG Group and the MUFG Group’s involvement with these entities is for its own investment purposes. In all cases, the MUFG Group participates as one of many other investors and the MUFG Group holds investments with high credit ratings. Therefore, the MUFG Group is not considered as the primary beneficiary of these entities.

Securitization of the MUFG Group’s Assets

The MUFG Group establishes entities to securitize its own financial assets that include, among others, corporate and retail loans and lease receivables. The entities used for securitization, which typically take the form of special purpose company and trusts, are established by the MUFG Group and, in most cases, issue senior and subordinate interests or financing. Where the MUFG Group retains subordinate interests or financing, it is considered as the primary beneficiary of the entities and the MUFG Group consolidates them. In some cases, all financing is provided by the MUFG Group but there is a substantive third-party guarantee, or most of the interests or financing issued by the entities is transferred to investors unrelated to the MUFG Group. In these cases, the MUFG Group does not consider itself as the primary beneficiary.

Others

This category primarily comprises the following:

Financing Vehicles of the MUFG Group’s Customers

The MUFG Group is involved with several entities that are established by the MUFG Group’s customers. These entities borrow funds from financial institutions and extend loans to their group entities. These entities effectively work as fund-raising vehicles for their respective group companies and enable the groups to achieve efficient financing by integrating their financing activities into a single entity. In all cases the MUFG Group is not considered as the primary beneficiary, either because it participates as one of two or more lenders, and therefore, its participation is less than a majority, and/or there is a substantive third-party guarantee provided with respect to the MUFG Group’s loans.

Funding Vehicles

The MUFG Group has established several wholly-owned, off-shore vehicles which issue securities, typically preferred stock that is fully guaranteed by the MUFG Group, to investors unrelated to us to fund purchases of debt instruments issued by the MUFG Group. These entities are considered as VIEs because the MUFG Group’s investment in the vehicles’ equity is not considered at risk and substantive as the entire amount raised by the vehicles was used to purchase debt instruments issued by the MUFG Group. As the third-party investors participate in the economics of these financing vehicles, as well as the vehicles themselves, these financing vehicles are not considered as the MUFG Group’s subsidiaries.

Trust Arrangements

The MUFG Group offers, primarily through its wholly-owned trust arrangements.banking subsidiary, MUTB, a variety of trust products and services including securities investment trusts, pension trusts and trusts used as securitization vehicles. In a typical trust arrangement, however, the MUFG Group manages and administers assets on behalf of the customers in an agency, fiduciary and trust capacity and does not assume risks associated with the entrusted assets. CustomersThe trusts are generally considered as VIEs because the trust beneficiaries, who provide all of the equity at risk, usually do not have substantive decision making ability. The MUFG Group, however, is not considered as the primary beneficiary because the trust beneficiaries receive and absorb expected losses and residual returns and losses on the performance and operations of trust assets under management of the MUFG Group. Accordingly,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

With respect to the jointly operated designated money in trusts, however, MUTB is exposed to the risks involved with the entrusted assets, where MUTB provides the trust beneficiaries with guarantees on the repayment of trust principal through face value guarantees. In these products, MUTB pools money from general investors and invests it in financial assets that are of high credit standing, including bank deposits, government bonds, high-quality corporate bonds and high-quality corporate loans including loans to banking account of MUTB. MUTB manages and administers the trust assets in the capacity of a trustee and receives fees as compensation for services it provides. With respect to most of the jointly operated designated money in trusts, MUTB provides, as a sponsor of the products, the face value guarantees under which it is required to compensate a loss on the stated principal of the trust beneficial interests. MUTB is not considered as the primary beneficiary of these products because the event of loss is highly remote and in fact the face value guarantee has never been called upon in the trusts’ operational history that extends over decades. In addition, the trusts have substantial investments in loans to banking account of MUTB and MUTB’s face value guarantee is considered as non-substantive to the extent of the self guarantee.

Troubled Borrowers

During the normal course of business, the borrowers from the MUFG Group has determinedmay experience financial difficulties and sometimes enter into certain transactions that it is generally not a primary beneficiary to any trust arrangements under management as its interests in the trust arrangements are insignificant in most cases.

Other Types of VIEs

The MUFG Group is also a party to other types of VIEs including special purpose entities created to hold assets on behalf ofrequire the MUFG Group as an intermediary.

The MUFG Group identified borrowers that were determined to assess whether they would be considered as VIEs due to antheir difficult financial position. While in most cases such borrowers are not considered as VIEs when the transactions take place, in limited circumstances they are considered as VIEs due to insufficient level of equity. The MUFG Group has determined thatIn all cases, however, the MUFG Group is not considered as the primary beneficiary based on its assessment of mostscenario-based probability-weighted cash flow analysis.

The Adoption of these borrowers becauseNew Accounting Guidance for Consolidation of its limited exposure as a lender to such borrowers. Such borrowers engage in diverse business activitiesVariable Interest Entities

In June 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that amends the existing guidance for consolidation of various sizes in industries such as manufacturing, distribution, construction and real estate development, independently fromvariable interest entities. This new accounting guidance, which was effective for the MUFG Group.Group on April 1, 2010, significantly changes the way an enterprise determines whether to consolidate a variable interest entity. The adoption of this new accounting guidance on April 1, 2010 resulted in the consolidation and deconsolidation of certain variable interest entities. The net increase of the MUFG Group’s consolidated assets and liabilities, on a preliminary basis, were approximately ¥242 billion and ¥219 billion, respectively, as of April 1, 2010. The impact of the newly consolidated variable interest entities were ¥268 billion and ¥240 billion of assets and liabilities, respectively. These newly consolidated variable interest entities primarily consist of jointly operated designated money in trusts of which the MUFG Group has the power to direct the activities as an asset manager and the obligation to absorb losses through the face value guarantee.

Repayment of Excess Interest

 

The Japanese government is implementingimplemented regulatory reforms affecting the consumer lending industry. In December 2006, the Diet passed legislation to reduce the maximum permissible interest rate under the Investment Deposit and Interest Rate Law, which is currentlywas formerly 29.2% per annum, to 20% per annum. The reduction in interest rates will bewas implemented by mid-2010.in June 2010. Under the reforms, all interest rates will befor loans originated after this reform are subject to the lower limits imposed by Interest Rate Restriction Law, which will compel lending institutions to lower the interest rates they charge borrowers.

 

Currently,Formerly, consumer finance companies arewere able to charge interest rates exceeding the limits stipulated by the Interest Rate Restriction Law so long as the payment iswas made voluntarily by the borrowers and the lender compliescomplied with various notice and other requirements. Accordingly, MUFG’s consumer finance subsidiaries and equity method investee have offered loans at interest rates above the Interest Rate Restriction Law, thoughLaw. Upon the implementation in June 2010, they are in the process of loweringlowered the interest rates for loans originated after this reform to below the Interest Rate Restriction Law.

 

During the past year,In 2006, the Supreme Court of Japan passed decisions in a manner more favorable to borrowers requiring reimbursement of previously paid interest exceeding the limits stipulated by the Interest Rate Restriction Law in certain circumstances. Due to such decisions and other regulatory changes, borrowers’ claims for reimbursement of excess interest significantly increased during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. As a result, MUFG’s consumer finance subsidiaries increased the allowance for repayment of excess interest for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. At March 31, 20072009 and 2008,2010, the allowance for repayment of excess interest established by MUFG’s consumer finance subsidiaries, which was included in Other liabilities, was ¥102,474¥76,876 million and ¥80,187¥84,216 million, respectively. Also,See provision for repayment of excess interest in the consolidated statements of

For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, an MUFG’s equity method investee increased its allowance during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, which had a negative impact of ¥77,552¥2,982 million, ¥15,829 million and ¥23,109 million, respectively, on Equity in losses of equity method investees in the consolidated statement of operations. The provision for repayment of excess interest of the equity method investee did not have a material impact on the MUFG Group’s financial position or results of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.

Reconciliation

 

As set forth above, the measurement bases and the income and expenses items covered are very different between the internal management reporting system and the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Therefore, it is impracticable to present reconciliations of the business segments’ total information, other than operating profit, to corresponding items in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

30.    FOREIGN ACTIVITIES

 

Foreign operations include the business conducted by overseas offices, as well as international business conducted from domestic offices, principally several international banking-related divisions of BTMU’s and MUTB’s Head Office in Tokyo, and involve various transactions with debtors and customers residing outside Japan. Close integration of the MUFG Group’s foreign and domestic activities makes precise estimates of the amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses attributable to foreign operations difficult and necessarily subjective. Assets, income and expenses attributable to foreign operations are allocated to geographical areas based on the domicile of the debtors and customers.

Generally, interest rates with respect to funds borrowed and loaned between domestic and foreign operations are based on prevailing money market rates appropriate for the transactions. In general, the MUFG Group has allocated all direct expenses and a proportionate share of general and administrative expenses to income derived from foreign loans and other transactions by the MUFG Group’s foreign operations.

31.    ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

QuotedEffective April 1, 2008, the MUFG Group adopted new guidance on the measurement of fair value for all financial assets and liabilities measured and disclosed on a fair value basis. Effective April 1, 2009, the MUFG Group has applied new guidance on the measurement of fair value for all the nonrecurring nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities including premises and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill measured at fair value for impairment. Under the new guidance, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The new guidance on the measurement of fair value establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices whenin active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data, for example, the reporting entity’s own data. Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the following three-level hierarchy is established by the new guidance:

Ÿ

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Ÿ

Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the instruments.

Ÿ

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the instruments.

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The MUFG Group has an established and documented process for determining fair values in accordance with the new guidance. When available, quoted market prices are used to estimatedetermine fair values of financial instruments. However,value. If quoted market prices are not available, forfair value is based upon valuation techniques that use, where possible, current market-based or non-market-based parameters, such as interest rates, yield curves, foreign exchange rates, volatilities and credit curves. The fair values of liabilities are determined by discounting future cash flows at a substantial portion ofrate which incorporates the MUFG Group’s own creditworthiness. In addition, valuation adjustments may be made to ensure the financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments include, but not limited to, amounts that reflect counterparty credit quality, liquidity risk and therefore,model risk.

The following section describes the valuation methodologies adopted by the MUFG Group to measure fair values of certain financial instruments. The discussion includes the general classification of such financial instruments in accordance with the valuation hierarchy, a brief explanation of the valuation techniques, the significant inputs to those models, and any additional significant assumptions.

Interest-earning Deposits in Other Banks

Certain interest-earning deposits are measured at fair value by using discounted cash flows due to election of the fair value option. Cash flows are estimated based on the terms of the contracts and discounted by markets rates applicable to the maturity of the contracts, which are adjusted to reflect credit risks on counterparties. As the inputs into the valuation are readily observable, these deposits are classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Receivables Under Resale Agreements

Certain receivables under resale agreements are measured at fair value by using discounted cash flows due to election of the fair value option. Cash flows are estimated based on the terms of the contracts and discounted by the interest rates applicable to the maturity of the contracts, which are adjusted to reflect credit risks on counterparties. These receivables are classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Trading Accounts Assets and Liabilities—Trading Securities

When quoted prices are available in an active market, the MUFG Group adopts the quoted market prices to measure the fair values of securities and such securities are classified in Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Examples of Level 1 securities include certain Japanese and foreign government bonds, residential mortgage-backed securities and marketable equity securities.

When quoted market prices are available but not traded actively, such securities are classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. When quoted market prices are not available, the MUFG Group estimates fair values by using internal valuation techniques, quoted price of securities with similar characteristics or non-binding prices obtained from independent pricing vendors. Examples of such instruments include commercial paper, corporate bonds and residential mortgage-backed securities. Such securities are generally classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

When there is less liquidity for securities or significant inputs adopted to the fair value measurements are less observable, such securities are classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Examples of such Level 3

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

securities include CLOs backed by general corporate loans that are measured by weighting the estimated amounts from the internal models and the non-binding quotes from the independent broker-dealers. The weight of the broker-dealer quote is determined based on the result of inquiries to the broker-dealers for their basis of the fair value calculation with consideration of activity level of the market. Key inputs of the internal models include projected cash flow through an analysis of underlying loans, probability of default which incorporates market indices such as LCDX which is an index of loan credit default swaps, repayment rate and discount rate reflecting liquidity premiums based on historical market data. The MUFG Group has adopted this valuation method for CLOs backed by general corporate loans from the second half of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. See Note 1, “Change in Accounting Estimates” section for details of the change in valuation method.

Trading Accounts Assets and Liabilities—Derivatives

Exchange-traded derivatives valued using quoted prices are classified in Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Examples of Level 1 derivative include security future transactions and interest rate future transactions. However, the majority of the derivative contracts entered into by the MUFG Group are traded over-the-counter and valued using internally developed techniques as there are no quoted market prices for such instruments. The valuation models and inputs vary depending on the types and contractual terms of the derivative instruments. The principal models adopted to value those instruments include discounted cash flows, Black-Scholes model and Hull-White model. The key inputs include interest rate yield curve, foreign currency exchange rate, volatility, credit quality of the counterparty or the MUFG Group and spot price of the underlying. These models are commonly accepted in the financial industry and key inputs to the models are readily observable from an actively quoted market. Derivative instruments valued by such models and inputs are generally classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Examples of such Level 2 derivatives include plain interest rate swaps, foreign currency forward contracts and currency option contracts.

Derivatives that are valued based on models with significant unobservable input are classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Examples of Level 3 derivatives include long-term interest rate or currency swaps and certain credit derivatives, where significant inputs such as volatility, credit curves and the correlation of such inputs are unobservable.

Investment Securities

Investment securities include available for sale debt and equity securities, whose fair values are measured using the same methodologies as the trading securities described above except for certain private placement bonds issued by Japanese non-public companies. Fair values of certain private placement bonds issued by Japanese non-public companies are measured based on discounted cash flow methods by using discount rate applicable to the maturity of the bonds, which are adjusted to reflect credit risk of issuers. From the second half of fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, the credit risk of issuers are included in the future cash flows being discounted at the date applicable to the maturity of the bonds. The private placement bonds are generally utilized to finance medium or small size non-public companies as an alternative of loans. These bonds are classified as either Level 2 or Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy depending on the significance of the adjustments for unobservable credit worthiness input. This account also includes investments in nonmarketable equity securities which are subject to specialized industry accounting practice. The valuation of such nonmarketable equity securities involves significant management judgment due to the absence of quoted market prices, lack of liquidity and the long term nature of these assets. Further, there may be restriction of transfer on nonmarketable equity securities. The MUFG Group values such securities initially at transaction price and subsequently adjusts valuations considering evidence such as current sales transactions of similar securities, initial public offerings, recent equity issuances and change in financial condition of an investee company. Nonmarketable equity securities are included in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Other Assets

Other assets measured at fair value mainly consist of securities that may be sold or repledged under securities lending transactions, money in trust for segregating cash deposited by customers on security transactions and derivative assets designated as hedging instruments. The securities under lending transaction mainly consist of certain Japanese and foreign government bonds which are valued using the methodologies described in the “Trading Accounts Assets and Liabilities—Trading Securities” above.

Money in trust for segregating cash deposited by customers on security transactions mainly consists of certain Japanese government bonds which are valued using the methodologies described in the “Trading Accounts Assets and Liabilities—Trading Securities” above and is included in Level 1 or Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy depending on the component assets.

The fair values of derivatives designated as hedging instruments are measured using the methodologies described in the “Trading Accounts Assets and Liabilities—Derivatives” above.

Obligations to Return Securities Received as Collateral

Obligations to return securities received as collateral under the securities lending transactions are measured at fair values of securities received as collateral. The securities received as collateral consist primarily of certain Japanese and foreign government bonds, whose fair values are measured using the methodologies described in the “Trading Accounts Assets and Liabilities—Trading Securities” above.

Deposits, Other Short-term Borrowings and Long-term Debt

Certain deposits, other short-term borrowings and long-term debt are measured at fair values due to election of the fair value option. These instruments under the fair value option are measured principally using internally developed models such as the discounted cash flow method. Where the inputs into the valuation are mainly based on observable inputs, these instruments are classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Where significant inputs are unobservable, they are classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Market Valuation Adjustments

Counterparty credit risk adjustments are applied to certain financial assets such as over-the-counter derivatives. As not all counterparties have the same credit rating, it is necessary to take into account the actual credit rating of a counterparty to arrive at the fair value. In addition, the counterparty credit risk adjustment takes into account the effect of credit risk mitigates such as pledged collateral and legal right of offsets with the counterparty.

Own credit risk adjustments which reflect own creditworthiness are applied to financial liabilities measured at fair value.

Liquidity adjustments are applied mainly to the instruments classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy when recent prices of such instruments are not able to be observable in inactive or less active market. The liquidity adjustments are based on the facts and circumstances of the markets including the availability of external quotes and the time since the latest available quote.

Model valuation adjustments such as unobservable parameter valuation adjustments may be provided when the fair values of instruments are determined based on internally developed models. Examples of such

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

adjustments include adjustments to the model price of certain derivative financial instruments where parameters such as correlation are unobservable. Unobservable parameter valuation adjustments are applied to mitigate the possibility of error in the model based estimate value.

Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share

The MUFG Group has investments mainly in hedge funds, private equity funds, and real estate funds included in recurring and nonrecurring items.

Hedge funds are primarily multi-disciplinary hedge funds that employ a fundamental bottom-up investment approach across various asset classes and strategies. The MUFG Group’s investments in these funds are generally redeemable on monthly-quarterly basis with 30-90 days notice.

Private equity funds have specific investment objectives in connection with their acquisition of equity interests, such as providing financing and other support to start-up businesses, medium and small entities in a particular geographical area, and to companies with certain technology or companies in a high-growth industry. Generally, these investments cannot be redeemed with the funds and the return of invested capital and its gains are derived from distributions received upon the liquidation of the underlying assets of the fund. It is estimated that the underlying assets of the fund would be liquidated within ten year period.

Real estate funds invest globally, primarily in real estate companies, debt recapitalizations and direct property. These investments are generally not redeemable with the funds. Distributions from each fund will be received as the underlying investments of the funds are liquidated.

Changes in Level 3 Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents a reconciliation of the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009 and 2010. When a determination is made to classify a financial instrument within Level 3, the determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable parameters to the overall fair value measurement. However, Level 3 financial instruments typically include, in addition to the unobservable or Level 3 components, observable components (that is, components that are actively quoted and can be validated to external sources); accordingly, the gains and losses in the table below include changes in fair value due in part to observable factors that are part of the valuation methodology. The following tables reflect gains and losses for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009 and 2010 for all assets and liabilities categorized as Level 3, including those transferred from or into Level 3 during the period.

Note:

(1)Effective April 1, 2009, the MUFG Group has applied new guidance on the measurement of fair value for premises and equipment and intangible assets measured at fair value for impairment.

Investment securities include mainly impaired cost method nonmarketable equity securities which were written down to fair value during the period. The fair values are determined based on recent financial position and projected future cash flows of investees.

Loans include loans held for sale and collateral dependent loans. Loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair value of the loans held for sale is based on secondary market, recent transaction or discounted cash flows. These loans are principally classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy, and when quoted prices are available but not traded actively, such loans held for sale are classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Collateral dependent loans are measured at fair value of the underlying collateral. Collaterals are comprised mainly of real estate and exchange traded equity securities. The MUFG Group maintains an established process for determining the fair value of real estate, using valuation techniques, including, but not limited to, the valuation derived mainly from current transaction prices of comparable assets and discounted cash flow models. Loans impaired that are measured based on underlying real estate collateral are classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Premises and equipment consist of those assets which were written down to fair value. The fair values are determined based on price obtained from an appraiser or discounted cash flows. These impaired premises and equipment are classified as Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Intangible assets consist of those assets which were written down to fair values. The fair values are determined based on discounted cash flows. These impaired intangible assets are classified as Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Other assets mainly consist of investments in equity method investees which were written down to fair value due to impairment. The MUFG Group recorded impairment losses on investments to certain affiliated companies, mainly the consumer finance company, of ¥104,045 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. The investment in such affiliated company is marketable equity security, and MUFG determined a decline in fair value below cost is other-than-temporary based on the quoted market price. The impairment losses are included in Equity in losses of equity method investees in the consolidated statements of operations.

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

When investments in equity method investees are marketable equity securities, the fair values are determined based on quoted market price. Impaired investments in equity method investees which are marketable equity securities are classified in either Level 1 or Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. When investments in equity method investees are nonmarketable equity securities, the fair values are determined using the same methodologies as impaired nonmarketable equity securities described above. Impaired investments in equity method investees which are nonmarketable equity securities are classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Fair Value Option

Entities are permitted to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities and certain other items at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value for designated items are required to be reported in earnings. Effective April 1, 2008, the MUFG Group elected the fair value option for foreign currency denominated debt securities and equity securities held by BTMU and MUTB in the amount of ¥10,448,079 million, which were previously classified as securities available for sale. The election was made to mitigate accounting mismatches related to fluctuations of foreign exchange rates as the gains and losses on translation of these securities were reflected in other changes in equity from nonowner sources, while the gains and losses on translation of foreign currency-denominated financial liabilities were included in current earnings.

The MUFG Group also elected the fair value option for certain financial instruments held by MUS’s foreign subsidiaries, because those financial instruments are managed on a fair value basis, and these exposures are considered to be trading-related positions. These financial assets are included in Interest-earning deposits in other banks and Receivables under resale agreements. These financial liabilities are included in Interest-bearing deposits, Other short-term borrowings and Long-term debt. Unrealized gains and losses on such financial instruments are estimated using discounted cash flow models or other valuation techniques. Although management uses its best judgmentrecognized in estimating fair valuesthe consolidated statements of financial instruments, estimation methodologies and assumptions used to estimate fair values are inherently subjective. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of net realizable or liquidation values. The use of different estimation methodologies and/or market assumptions may have a significant effect on the estimated fair values.operations.

Not all of the financial instruments held by the MUFG Group are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. The methodologies and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are summarized below:

 

Cash dueand Due from banks, call loansBanks, Call Loans and funds sold,Funds Sold, and receivables under resale agreementsReceivables Under Resale Agreements and securities borrowing transactionsSecurities Borrowing Transactions—For cash, due from banks including interest-earning deposits, call loans and funds sold, and receivables under resale agreements and securities borrowing transactions, the carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of the fair values because of their short-term nature and limited credit risk.

 

Trading account securities—Trading account securities and short trading positions of securities are carried at fair value, which is principally based on quoted market prices, when available. If the quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Investment securitiesSecurities—The fair values of investment securities, where quoted market prices or secondary market prices are available, are equal to such market prices. For investment securities, when quoted market prices or secondary market prices are not available, the fair values are estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities or based on appraised value as deemed appropriate by management. The fair values of investment

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

securities other than those classified as available for sale or being held to maturity (i.e., nonmarketable equity securities) are not readily determinable as they do not have quoted market prices or secondary market prices available. The fair values of certain nonmarketable equity securities, such as preferred stock convertible to marketable common stock in the future, issued by public

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

companies are determined by utilizing commonly accepted valuation models, such as option pricing models. It is not practicable for the MUFG Group to estimate the fair value of other nonmarketable securities issued by nonpublic companies for which a quoted market price is not available. For these securities, the MUFG Group is unable to estimate fair value without incurring undue cost because they comprise investments in numerous unlisted companies and each investment represents an insignificant percentage relative to each company. Therefore, the above summary does not include the carrying amounts of such investment securities. The amounts not included in the above summary are ¥202¥146 billion and ¥78¥532 billion at March 31, 20072009 and 2008,2010, respectively.

 

Loans—The fair valuesvalue of loans are estimated for groups with similar characteristics, including type of loan, credit quality and remaining maturity. In incorporating the credit risk factor, management concluded that the allowance for credit losses adequately adjusts the related book values for credit risk. For floating- or adjustable-rate loans, which mature or are repriced within a short period of time, the carrying values are considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair values. For fixed-rate loans, market prices are not generally available and the fair values are estimated by discounting the estimatedexpected future cash flows based on the contracted maturitytypes of loans, internal ratings and possibility of prepayment using the loans. The discount rates are based onwhich include adjustments to reflect the expectations about possible variations to the current market rates. For certain residential loans with variable interest rates correspondingprovided to individual home owners, the applicable maturity.carrying amount is presented as the fair value since such carrying amount approximates the fair value, unless the creditworthiness of the borrower has changed significantly since the loan origination. Where quoted market prices or estimated fair values are available, primarily for loans to refinancing countries, loans held for dispositions or sales and certain other foreign loans, the fair values are based on such market prices and estimated fair values, including secondary market prices. For nonperforming loans, the fair values are generally determined on an individual basis by discounting thereceivables from bankrupt, virtually bankrupt, and likely to become bankrupt borrowers, credit loss is estimated future cash flows and may be based on the appraisalpresent value of underlying collateralexpected future cash flow or the expected amount to be collected from collaterals and guarantees. The carrying amount is presented as appropriate.the fair value since the fair value approximates such carrying amount.

 

Other financial assetsFinancial Assets—The estimated fair values of other financial assets, which primarily include accrued interest receivable, customers’ acceptance liabilities and accounts receivable, approximate their carrying amounts. The above summary does not include the carrying amounts of investments in equity method investees amounting to ¥578¥556 billion and ¥504¥585 billion at March 31, 20072009 and 2008,2010, respectively.

 

Derivative financial instrumentsNon-interest-bearing Deposits, Call Money and Funds Purchased, Payables Under Repurchase Agreements and Securities Lending Transactions, and Obligations to Return Securities Received as CollateralThe estimated fair values of derivative financial instruments are the amounts the MUFG Group would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the balance-sheet date, taking into account the current unrealized gains or losses on open contracts. They are based on market or dealer quotes when available. Valuation models such as present value and option pricing models are applied to current market information to estimate fair values when such quotes are not available.

Non-interest-bearing deposits, call money and funds purchased, payables under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions, and obligations to return securities received as collateral—The fair values ofFor non-interest-bearing deposits, are equal to the amountsamount payable on demand.demand as of the consolidated balance sheet date (i.e., the carrying amount) is considered to be the fair value. For call money and funds purchased, payables under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions and obligations to return securities received as collateral, the carrying amountsamount are a reasonable estimate of the fair valuesvalue because of their short-term nature and limited credit risk.

 

Interest–bearing depositsDepositsTheFor variable rate time deposits, the carrying amount is presented as the fair values of demandvalue because the market interest rate is reflected in such deposits deposits at notice, and certificates of deposit maturing within a short period of time are the amounts payable on demand. Fair values ofperiod. Fixed rate time deposits and certificatesare grouped by certain maturity lengths. The fair value of deposit maturing after a short period of timesuch deposits are estimated by discounting the estimatedexpected future cash flows using the discount rates currently offered forthat would be applied to newly accepted deposits.

Due to Trust Account—Since these are cash deposits with no maturity, the carrying amount is presented as the fair value as the fair value approximates such carrying amount.

Other Short-term Borrowings—For most other short-term borrowings, the carrying amount is presented as the fair value since such carrying amount approximates the fair value because of similar remaining maturities ortheir short-term nature and limited credit risk.

Long-term Debt—The fair value of corporate bonds issued by the applicable currentMUFG Group is determined based on MUFG’s market rates.price. The fair value of fixed rate corporate bonds without market prices is the present value of

Other short-term borrowings—For most other short-term borrowings, the carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of the fair values because of their short-term nature. For certain borrowings, fair values are estimated by discounting the estimated future cash flows using applicable current market interest rates or comparable rates for similar instruments, which represent the MUFG Group’s cost to raise funds with a similar remaining maturity.

Long-term debtFor certain unsubordinated and subordinated debt, the fair values are estimated based on quoted market prices of the instruments. The fair values of other long-term debt are estimated using a discounted cash flow model based on rates applicable to the MUFG Group for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Other financial liabilitiesFinancial Liabilities—The estimated fair values of other financial liabilities, which primarily include accrued interest payable, bank acceptances, accounts payable and obligations under standby letters of credit and guarantees, approximate their carrying amounts. The fair values of obligations under standby letters of credit and guarantees are based on fees received or receivable by the MUFG Group.

 

The fair values of certain off-balance-sheet financial instruments held for purposes other than trading, including commitments to extend credit and commercial letters of credit, are estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the credit quality. The aggregate fair value of such instruments at March 31, 20072009 and 20082010 was not material.

 

The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management at March 31, 20072009 and 2008.2010. These amounts have not been comprehensively revalued since that date and, therefore, current estimates of fair values may have changed significantly from the amounts presented herein.

 

32.    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The following describes stock-based compensation plans of MUFG, BTMU, MUTB, MUS and UNBC and the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R.UNBC.

 

MUFG, BTMU, MUTB and MUTBMUS

 

MUFG, BTMU, MUTB and MUTBMUS elected to introduce a stock-based compensation plan for directors, executive officers and corporate auditors (“officers”) and obtained the necessary shareholder approval at their respective ordinary general meetings held in June 2007, while abolishing the retirement gratuities program for these officers.

 

Following the approval, MUFG resolved at the meeting of the Board of Directors to issue stock compensation type stock options (“Stock Acquisition Rights”) to officers of MUFG, BTMU, MUTB and MUTB.MUS. Usually, the Stock Acquisition Rights would be issued and granted to these officers once a year as a replacement of the former retirement gratuities program.

 

The class of shares to be issued or transferred on exercise of the Stock Acquisition Rights is common stock of MUFG. The number of shares to be issued or transferred on exercise of each Stock Acquisition Right

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(“ (“number of granted shares”) is 100 shares. In the event of stock split or stock merger of common stock of MUFG, the number of granted shares shall be adjusted in accordance with the ratio of stock split or stock merger. If any events occur that require the adjustment of the number of granted shares (e.g., mergers, consolidations, corporate separations or capital reductions of MUFG), MUFG shall appropriately adjust the number of granted shares to a reasonable extent.

 

The contractual term of the Stock Acquisition Rights is approximately 30 years from the date of grant. Some of the Stock Acquisition Rights vest on the date of grant and the rest of the rights graded-vest depending on the

MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

holder’s service period as officers. The Stock Acquisition Rights are only exercisable after the date on which the following conditions are met: (1) holder as a director or an executive officer loses the status of both director and executive officer, (2) holder as a corporate auditor loses the status of a corporate auditor. The exercise price is ¥1 per share.

 

The following is a summary of the Stock Acquisition Rights transactions of MUFG, BTMU, MUTB and MUTBMUS for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008:2010:

The fair value of the Stock Acquisition Rights is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses the assumptions described in the following table. The risk-free rate is based on the Japanese government bonds yield curve in effect at the date of grant based on the expected term. The expected volatility is based on the historical data from traded common stock of MUFG. The expected term is based on the average service period of officers of MUFG, BTMU, MUTB and MUTB,MUS, which represents the expected outstanding period of the Stock Acquisition Rights granted. The expected dividend yield is based on the dividend rate of common stock of MUFG at the date of grant.

The MUFG Group recognized ¥2,408¥2,583 million and ¥2,638 million of compensation cost related to the Stock Acquisition Rights with ¥980¥1,051 million and ¥1,073 million of corresponding tax benefit during the fiscal yearyears ended March 31, 2008.2009 and 2010, respectively. As of March 31, 2008,2010, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to the Stock Acquisition Rights was ¥479¥545 million and it is expected to be recognized over a period of 3 months.

Cash received from exercise of the Stock Acquisition Rights for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 was ¥1 million. The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from exercise of the Stock Acquisition Rights was ¥404 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.

UNBC

 

On November 4, 2008, all outstanding awards under the management stock plans discussed below were canceled in exchange for the right to receive the cash value of those awards. These plans were terminated in December 2008, and no additional awards were granted under these plans in 2009. The discussion that follows relates to the management stock plan activities through termination in December 2008.

Prior to their termination, UNBC hashad two management stock plans. The Year 2000 UnionBanCal Corporation Management Stock Plan, as amended (the “20002000 Stock Plan”)Plan), and the UnionBanCal Corporation Management Stock Plan, restated effective June 1, 1997 (the “19971997 Stock Plan”)Plan), havehad 20.0 million and 6.6 million shares, respectively, of UNBC’s common stock authorized to be awardedfor awards to key employees, outside directors and consultants of UNBC at the discretion of the Executive Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”)Committee). Employees on rotational assignment from BTMU arewere not eligible for stock awards.

 

The Committee determinesdetermined the term of each stock option grant, up to a maximum of ten years from the date of grant. The exercise price of the options issued under the stock plans maycould not be less than the fair market value on the date the option iswas granted. Beginning in 2006, the value of options iswas recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period during which the employees arewere required to provide service.

All cancelled or forfeited options and restricted stock becomebecame available for future grants. SFAS No. 123R requires the cash flows resulting from the tax benefits of tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for share-based compensation awards (i.e., excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows.

The fair value of each option grant iswas estimated on the date of grant utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model and using the assumptions noted in the following table. The Black-Scholes option pricing model iswas applied to option tranches based on expected terms that result in ranges of input assumptions, such ranges are disclosed below. Expected volatilities arewere based on historical data and implied volatilities from traded options on UNBC’s stock, and other factors. UNBC usesused historical data to estimate option exercise and employee terminations within the valuation model. The expected term of an option granted iswas derived from the output of the option valuation model, which iswas based on historical data and representsrepresented the period of time that the option granted iswas expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option iswas based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant based on the expected term.

35.    EVENTS SINCE MARCHRESTATEMENT OF CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS

Subsequent to the issuance of the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, MUFG’s management determined that the MUFG Group erroneously presented certain transactions and adjustments in the consolidated statements of cash flows, which resulted in the misstatements of various line items. The significant portion of these misstatements was attributed to erroneous elimination of non-cash foreign currency adjustments and non-cash securities transactions at certain foreign subsidiaries, and intercompany balances of trading account assets and liabilities. The restatement of the consolidated statements of cash flows did not affect previously reported amounts in the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of changes in equity from nonowner sources, consolidated statements of equity, and cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The following tables set forth the effects of the restatement for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008 and 2009.

Filing of a Bankruptcy Petition by Lehman Brothers Holdings

On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (“LBHI”) filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code with the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The MUFG Group determined that the filing by LBHI was attributable to the deterioration of the asset-backed securitization products market and residential mortgage market in the United States subsequent to March 31, 2008, and did not reflect the impact of LBHI’s bankruptcy on the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. Although the impact of these developments is currently being reviewed, the MUFG Group estimates that these developments will adversely affect income from continuing operations before income tax expense for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009 by approximately ¥20 to ¥30 billion.
