Foreword

As the founding executives, it is our great pleasure to invite shareholders and stakeholders of the

newly formed Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation to read the Bank’s first annual report. We strive

to provide complete disclosure on an impartial, timely and continuous basis in an easily understood

format as part of our mission to enhance shareholder value and offer value to customers. This report

outlines the strategies for SMBC and summarizes the fiscal 2000 results for the two founding banks.

We hope that it will provide you with a greater understanding of where we have come from, what we

have accomplished and where we are headed.

Banks will have to reinvent themselves repeatedly in the next few years to thrive amid the significant

changes wrought by the various regulatory reforms, the IT revolution and the globalization of the

financial industry. We are positioning SMBC to have a stronger foundation on which to heighten

profitability and enhance our international profile. To accomplish this, we are putting emphasis on

gaining initiatives in various businesses to keep abreast of the pace of change, and fostering creativity

and originality to provide us with a leading edge.

Although economic conditions over the next few years will be daunting, we shall navigate resolutely

toward a bright future. We look forward to your continued support and guidance to achieve growth.

Chairman of the Board

Yoshifumi Nishikawa
President and Chief Executive Officer

President’s Message

Launch of the New Bank

I am pleased to report that SMBC began operation on April 2, 2001. This auspicious start at the

dawn of the new millennium has created great expectations from our shareholders, investors and

customers, as well as the general public, for the responsibilities we bear as a cornerstone of the

economic infrastructure. We welcome this interest and will work hard to earn the trust of shareholders

and stakeholders.

The merger has provided us with the key infrastructure—such as various delivery channels, skilled

personnel and other management resources, and the competitive might of the Group in each field—

to sustain SMBC in the top echelon of the Japanese banks. The crucial task now is to use this

infrastructure to produce concrete results under the SMBC brand, which marries the strengths of

the Mitsui and Sumitomo brands that have been built up so carefully over the years to mean reliable

and innovative service.

The Economic Realities

In the domestic economy, it is abundantly clear the corporate sector faces a period of adjustment

that will continue to slacken demand for financial services. As these conditions begin to be felt in

corporate performances and their financial positions, the competitive environment for banks will get

even tougher. Nonetheless, the companies that have restructured themselves on the basis of new

business models suited to the times are growing in number and we are beginning to see the results

of their strengthened capabilities. We view the industrial structuring now underway as a business

opportunity and one of the ways in which we can move forward with new growth.

Critical Issues

We consider strengthening our profit base and balance sheet management to be the top two priorities

at this time. We have a number of initiatives to deal directly with these issues. While achieving these

targets will not be easy, we are applying bold ideas and resolute measures that will chart a steady

course toward the desired outcome, executing paradigm shifts as needed.

To bolster our profit base, our primary strategy is to draw fully upon the expanded operating base

created as a legacy of the merger and to approach each customer segment from the customer’s

perspective. In the retail market, we are taking a customer-by-customer approach to provide the

most appropriate services with the goal of maximizing convenience. In the corporate segments, we

are addressing operating and financing needs with a variety of services that form complete solutions.

We are placing particular emphasis on expanding financial services that do not use our balance

sheets, such as fee businesses. At the same time, we will be looking to further pare down expenses.

We anticipate that expenses will temporarily increase as a result of computer systems integration

and similar start-up costs associated with the merger, but expect to achieve the benefits of the

2

merger synergies early in the process.

By fundamentally revising our business

processes, we plan to radically reform

cost structures and increase the size of

the merger effect. We are also planning

to operate more cohesively as a

consolidated entity to boost overall

Group profitability. The investment

banking and credit card businesses

have significant strategic value. Since

the respective companies participating

in these markets from both founding

groups would gain significant merger

synergies and strength, they integrated

their operations at the same time the

parents merged. We expect the newly

Yoshifumi Nishikawa, President

merged companies to use their expanded operating bases and expertise to contribute to the growth

of consolidated earnings.

Balance sheet management is the other focus of activities. Our first priority is to deal conclusively

with non-performing loans. We are stepping up disposal and giving this issue our full attention. We

are monitoring the non-performing loan measures proposed in the government’s emergency economic

package, while moving forward with our own initiatives to resolve each non-performing loan individually.

Our initiatives include detailed dialogs with each borrower to detect potential problems early on and

put preventative measures in place to avoid new outbreaks of non-performing loans. Our second

priority is to reduce the potential for stock price volatility risk to impact our balance sheets, as the

accounting method for the stock portfolio changes to the mark-to-market method.

In Closing

I am firmly committed to strengthening the Bank to make it a first-class player in the international

financial markets at the earliest opportunity. Immediately following the merger, the entire Bank,

from the directors and management to the staff, has set to work under a single system—without

redundancies—toward a clearly defined set of goals. We will strive to maximize the synergies of the

merger and secure a leading spot among the competition by promoting staff on a merit basis under

a unified personnel system, putting the right people in the right places, instilling in them a sense of

urgency and empowering them to turn plans into reality. We shall carry on fulfilling the responsibilities

entrusted to us and work to make SMBC the most trusted brand in the market.

Symbol
The ascending curve of the
symbol, named the “Rising
Mark”, signifies the new
bank’s growth through the ap-
plication of the diverse skills
of SMBC staff to provide pro-
gressive, value-added
financial services and, through
these services, to contribute
to the welfare of customers,
shareholders and the commu-
nity at large. We have se-
lected “fresh green” and “trad
green” as the two corporate
colors. Fresh green is used in
the Rising Mark to express
our youthful, knowledgeable
and friendly approach, while
trad green is used as the
symbol’s background and text color to represent our tra-
dition, reliability and stability. The symbol, color scheme
and the SMBC abbreviation, collectively referred to as our
“Mark Unit”, is used consistently to promote our
corporate identity.

Progress Report on Strengthening the Financial Base of the Bank

The founding banks have worked to raise their competitiveness and profitability through restructuring and rationalization
based on their respective Plan toward Soundness of Management (former Sakura) and Plan for Strengthening the Financial
Base of the Bank (former Sumitomo). Both plans were formulated when the two banks accepted infusions of public funds
through subscriptions to preferred shares and perpetual subordinated notes in March 1999. The following summarizes each
bank’s progress in fiscal 2000 toward the targets set out in the respective plans.

Rules for Write-offs and Reserves

Amounts are recorded as general reserves in proportion to the expected losses over the next 12 
months based on the actual bankruptcy rate for the past for each ratings category.

These assets are divided into groups according to the risk of default. Amounts are recorded as 
general reserves in proportion to the expected losses based on the actual bankruptcy rate for the 
past for each group. The groups are “Substandard Assets” and “Other” and the latter group is further 
divided according to credit ratings, etc.

Potentially Bankrupt Borrowers

The Bank sets specific reserves for possible loan losses on the portion of Classification III assets 
(other than those expected to be collectible by collateral or guarantees, etc.), as classified according 
to individual borrowers.

Effectively Bankrupt/Bankrupt 
Borrowers

The Bank fundamentally writes-off the full amount of Classification IV assets (deemed to be 
uncollectible or of no value) that are individually calculated by borrower. In addition, specific reserves 
have been set for possible loan losses against the full amount of Classification III assets.

Self-Assessment

  Borrower Category

Self-assessment is the process used within a bank to cal-

culate the write-offs and reserves that ensure the soundness

of its assets. Each asset is assessed individually for its secu-

rity and verity. Each borrower is classified into one of five

categories—Normal Borrowers, Borrowers Requiring Caution,

Potentially Bankrupt Borrowers, Effectively Bankrupt Borrowers

and Bankrupt Borrowers—according to its current condition.

A bank is further required to assess, on a scale of I to IV, the

degree of the risk of default and non-collection, and the risk

of asset devaluation. As a rule, our consolidated subsidiaries

use the same system as part of our efforts to strengthen how

risk is managed throughout the Group as a whole.

Disclosure of Problem Assets

Assets Disclosed under the Financial Reconstruction Law

Under the Financial Reconstruction Law, assets are assessed

and classified into four categories—Bankrupt and Quasi-

Bankrupt Assets, Doubtful Assets, Substandard Loans, and

Normal Assets. The total value of assets in each category is

disclosed.

On a nonconsolidated basis (combined total for the two

founding banks), the total value of assets in all categories

other than Normal Assets amounted to ¥2,822.5 billion as of

March 31, 2001, an ¥818.0 billion decrease compared with

March 31, 2000.

On a consolidated basis (combined total for the two founding

banks), the amount was ¥3,355.0 billion.

  Classification of Disclosure Basis Assets

Bankrupt
and Quasi-
Bankrupt
Assets

Doubtful
Assets

This category is defined as the sum of credits
to Bankrupt Borrowers and Effectively Bankrupt
Borrowers as categorized by self-assessment,
minus fully written-off Classification IV credits. In
addition, as all Classification III credits are fully
covered by reserves, the remainder consists of
the collective portion of credits secured by
collateral or guarantees.

This is the sum of credits extended to
borrowers classified as Potentially Bankrupt
under self-assessment. Since the sum includes
credits that are secured by collateral or
guarantees, and considered to be collectible
assets, specific reserves are set aside for the
unsecured portions under Classification III.

Substandard
Loans

This is the sum of the loans extended to
Borrowers Requiring Caution under self-
assessment. This figure includes past due loans
(three months or more) or restructured loans.

Normal
Assets

This is the sum, as of term-end, of loans, securi-
ties lending, foreign exchange, accrued interest,
advanced payments and customer liabilities for
acceptance and guarantees that is not included
in the other three categories. Normal assets thus
represent the sum of credits to Normal Borrowers
and that portion of credits identified through self-
assessment as Borrowers Requiring Caution, but
not classified as Substandard, and on which the
risk of credit losses is deemed relatively small.

Correlation between Disclosure Based
on the Financial Reconstruction Law
and Risk-Monitored Loans

The disclosure of Risk-Monitored Loans
corresponds exactly to disclosure based on the
Financial Reconstruction Law, except that non-loan
assets—such as securities lending, foreign
exchange, accrued interest, advanced payments
and customers’ liabilities for acceptances and
guarantees—are not included in Risk-Monitored
Loans.

Since the interest income from borrowers
classified by self-assessment in the Potentially
Bankrupt Borrowers, Effectively Bankrupt
Borrowers and Bankrupt Borrowers categories
is not accrued in revenue, there is no accrued
interest included in the assets disclosed on the
basis of the Financial Reconstruction Law.

two founding banks, bringing expenses down to ¥680 billion.

We will take the expense ratio, expressed as expenses divided

by banking profit, from 54% in fiscal 1998 to the 42% level by

fiscal 2004. The one-time expenses related to the merger will

be approximately ¥23.3 billion in fiscal 2001. Over the period

from fiscal 2001 to fiscal 2003, we expect to incur charges

of approximately ¥51.5 billion for systems and branch dispo-

sitions, and over the period from fiscal 2001 to fiscal 2004,

approximately ¥128.4 billion for system integration.

By fiscal 2004, when these one-time costs will be elimi-

return on equity of 10% or more (on a consolidated basis).

extremely effective in measuring the risk of products that

have option risk and in tracking the VaR during active trading.

Market risk can be divided into its various factors: foreign

exchange rate, interest rate, equity price and option risk. At

SMBC, we use both the VaR method and other indicators

actually used in daily operations, such as the basis point

value (BPV) indicator (to measure the change in earnings for

every 0.01% change in interest rates), for finely tuned risk

management in each risk category.

Our policy is to set the total VaR guidelines to conservative

levels relative to capital in line with our business strategies.

(Former Sumitomo Bank)

The internal model used by the Bank (SMBC VaR) has been

evaluated by an independent auditing firm and certified to be

appropriate. To further verify the reliability of the model, we

perform back testing on the relationship between the VaR

calculated with the model and the actual profit and loss data.

The back testing results for fiscal 2000 for the trading

accounts of the two founding banks are shown on the previ-

ous page. Any data point below the diagonal line indicates a

loss that exceeded the predicted VaR for that day. Since all

the losses here were within the predicted VaR range, the VaR

model (with a confidence interval of 99%) has been demon-

strated to be sufficiently reliable.

To manage the risk in our yen-denominated banking account,

we use gap analysis employing maturity ladders and the earn-

ternal factor, such as interest rates, moves in an unfavorable

direction, the EaR model can indicate the largest estimated

change in earnings (interest rate spread) for a set period at a

given probability. Since strategy and budgetary planning is

based on the earnings for a period, we use the EaR model to

supplement the VaR model. Using Monte Carlo simulations to

generate 1,000 scenarios, we test the magnitude of the ef-

fect that new deposits and loans will have on the period’s

earnings.

In the interests of bolstering asset soundness, we recog-

nize maintaining strategic equity holdings at the levels appro-

priate to our fiscal strength and managing the price risk of

these stocks is an important issue for the Bank’s management.

Therefore, we are actively managing these risks. Namely, we

treat the entire holding of strategic equity as a portfolio and

keep the maximum potential loss amount derived from the

VaR model and the earnings for the period within the risk

capital allocations, and maintain them at an appropriate level

vis-a-vis capital.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the chance of encountering an obstacle to rais-

ing the funds required for settlement due either to a mismatch

between the use and procurement of funds or to an unexpected

outflow of funds, or being forced to borrow at higher interest

rates than usual. At SMBC, we consider liquidity risk to be one

of the major risks. We manage liquidity risk so that we are not

overly dependent on market-based founding to cover short-term

cash outflows. Our liquidity risk management is based on a

framework consisting of setting limits and guidelines for the

funding gap, maintaining a system of highly liquid supplementary

funding sources and establishing contingency plans.

In daily risk management operations, we avoid a gradual

increase in liquidity risk by adjusting the funding gap limits

Aiming to be a bank that develops in harmony with its customers
and society, SMBC is engaged in a number of activities that aid
society. These activities encompass the three key areas of wel-
fare, contributing to the regional community and international
cooperation.

Activities are conducted under the leadership of the Corporate

Citizenship Department within our Public Relations Department.
This office operates by giving consideration to the aspects of
continuity, the characteristics of our Bank and the development
of human resources, and creates a corporate foundation that
enables employees to engage in socially beneficial activities.

Social Contribution Activities

Cooperation with the Small Kindness Movement
As a participating member, we take part in the Japanese
Islands Clean Campaign and collect voluntary contributions
from the Bank’s personnel.

Cooperation with the NHK Year-End Charity Campaign
We cooperate in the NHK Year-End Charity Campaign held in Decem-
ber each year, focusing on the Central Community Chest of Japan.
We also collect voluntary contributions from the Bank’s personnel.

Contributing to the Local Community

SMBC actively participates in regional events, cooperates in
promoting local art and culture and otherwise contributes to
local communities.

Promenade Concert
We used the lobby of the Kobe Main
Office to hold a classical concert
and a performance of Beethoven’s
Ninth Symphony to coincide with the
Kobe Festival in July and Kobe
Luminarie in December last year.

Money Museum
We have a permanent coin collection
on display in the Kobe Head Office
building, which we open to the gen-
eral public. The collection displays in
chronological order ancient Japanese coins and other coins of
interest, including foreign coins as well as commemorative
coins from Japan and abroad.

Promenade Concert
(held in December 2000)

Kyoto Cultural Properties Exhibition Room
We have set up the Kyoto Cultural Properties Exhibition Room
in our Kyoto Branch building, which is open to the general pub-
lic. The permanent display includes cultural treasures from the
Yayoi Period to the Edo Period, as well as information on the
ethnic cultural assets of the Gion Festival.

International Cooperation

SMBC Volunteer Fund

We set up a fund with the aim of making donations to Japanese
and foreign volunteer organizations that provide assistance in
the event of disasters or economic difficulties.

In fiscal 2000 we made donations to four groups and coun-

tries. For example, our donation to Malaysia enabled the
purchase of vans for orphanage schoolchildren, while our
contribution to China financed repairs at a junior high school.

Support for UNICEF

We have been a key promoter of UNICEF Coin Aid, a foreign-
coin collection program. We place collection boxes in all our
branches. In cooperation with our Group companies, we also
sort the collected coins by currency. The cumulative weight
of the collection to March 2001 was approximately 41 tons
(equivalent to approximately ¥260 million).

Moreover, every year we purchase UNICEF greetings cards,
with half of the purchase price going to fund UNICEF activities,
and send the cards to customers. In addition, some branches
handle accounts in which total interest after tax on ordinary
deposits is donated to UNICEF.

Donation of Second-Hand Clothing to African Countries

We ask the Bank’s personnel to provide second-hand clothing
and daily necessities, which we then donate to the Republic
of Mali and other African countries via Motherland Academy
International, a nongovernment organization.

Support for Kids Earth Fund

We design calendars using pictures of children from all over
the world gathered by the Kids Earth Fund, a nonprofit
organization that supports needy children. Part of the cost of
the calendars is donated to the fund.

SMBC Global Foundation

The SMBC Global Foundation was established with an aim of
providing scholarships to Asian university students. The foun-
dation subsidizes more than 2,600 students, in Thailand,
China, Indonesia and Singapore, and is planning to expand its
activities into other areas in the future.

SMBC Foundation

The SMBC Foundation was founded to develop human resources
to contribute to the economic development of developing re-
gions and international exchange. In addition to holding interna-
tional seminars and business seminars each year, the foundation
also provides scholarships for foreign Asian students and
subsidizes development aid organizations.

Support for Employees’ Volunteer Activities

We use our internal electronic network to transmit volunteer
information to employees and actively support participation in
volunteer organizations. We are expanding the sphere of volun-
teer activities by holding regular sign language courses and
internally recruiting volunteer staff to promote the planning of
volunteer activities.

52

In addition, to promote specific measures in the course of our
daily business, EMS seeks to achieve continuous improvement
through a cycle of planning, implementation, evaluation and
review. The principal results of the EMS in the past fiscal year
are described below. These results are the achievements of
the former Sakura Bank.

Paper waste recycling
(Fiscal 2000 results at our Toda Recycling Center)

• Quantity recycled
• Recycling ratio

1,275 tons
88.03%

Using recycled paper

• Using a ratio of 41.5% recycled paper in advertising materi-
als (representing a 5.4% improvement on the previous term)

• Promoting the use of recycled paper for business cards,

copier paper and other uses

Reducing paper use

• Promoting a choice in output of ATM transaction statements
so that customers can choose whether or not they need a
statement

• Promoting a shift to electronic processing of transfer trans-
actions through the use of IT and reducing the use of fax
paper

In fiscal 2000, the Toda Recycling Center earned special
recognition for its achievements in promoting the reuse of
paper. We were the only financial institution to be awarded the
Chairman’s Prize by the Recycling Promotion Association,
which has the backing of the Prime Minister’s Office.

Based on our goal to be a good corporate citizen, we intend

to continue working to strengthen our EMS. Through these
activities, we will channel our efforts into preserving the global
environment, improving social credibility and reducing the
economic risks that arise from environmental problems.

Environmental Preservation

Environmental Management

The Bank is demonstrating a comprehensive commitment to
preserving the environment.  For example, we have acquired
ISO 14001 certification for our environmental management
system (EMS), established an internal Environment Committee
and a director responsible for environmental affairs. We have
also enacted an environmental policy and set up the Corporate
Citizenship Department within the Public Relations Department.
As a financial institution, we have classified our efforts to
address environmental concerns into three main categories:
social responsibility (reducing the impact on the environment in
our day-to-day operations), measures to address environmental
risks and customer support. Below, we describe our specific
activities in each of these areas.

Social Responsibility

• Reducing waste materials and promoting recycling
• Reducing the quantity of paper used, conserving water and

encouraging energy savings

• Using recycled paper
• Tackling environmental issues and promoting a strong aware-
ness of the environment through internal education, including
the production of videos

(cid:0)

Measures to Address Environmental Risks
• Stipulating in our Credit Policy that “we shall not extend credit
for projects that would have a grossly adverse effect on the
environment.”

Customer Support
• Introducing environment consult-
ants through a tie-up with SMBC
Consulting Co., Ltd.

• Providing information through
the environmental information
magazine SAFE (published every
other month)

• Providing information on finance

for environmental measures

more consolidated subsidiaries and 20 fewer affiliates
accounted for by the equity method are included.

With regard to deposits (excluding negotiable certificates of

deposit), the fiscal year-end balance was ¥32,004.0 billion,
¥1,778.0 billion greater than the previous fiscal year. Loans and
bills discounted amounted to ¥32,906.7 billion, an increase of
¥573.5 billion, and securities increased ¥3,537.8 billion, to
¥10,466.5 billion.

As a result, total assets increased ¥3,354.1 billion from the

billion from fiscal 1999, to ¥886.3 billion. After adjustments
such as general and administrative expenses and total credit
costs, operating profit increased ¥47.4 billion, to ¥183.9 billion.
Net income, the amount after adjusting operating profit for extra-
ordinary gains (losses), income taxes, and minority interests in
net income, decreased ¥13.7 billion, to ¥48.9 billion.

Foreign currency translation adjustments arising from cur-
rency translation of financial statements of overseas subsidiaries
had been recognized as assets or liabilities, but from this fiscal
year they are reported as stockholders’ equity and minority
interests due to a revision of accounting standards for foreign
currency transactions. As a result, stockholders’ equity
decreased ¥20.9 billion.

2. Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Securities (Before Adjustments for the Merger Accounting)

With the adoption of a new accounting standard for financial
instruments from fiscal 2000 in Japan, securities in consolidated
financial statements have been classified by the purpose for
which they are held. The classifications are: ‘trading securities,’
‘held-to-maturity securities’ and ‘other securities.’

‘Trading securities’ are reported at fair value on the consoli-

dated balance sheet with unrealized holding gains and losses
reported as part of net income. Securities classified as ‘held-to-
maturity securities’ and ‘other securities’ are carried either at
acquisition cost or at amortized cost and are reported on the
consolidated balance sheet. Effective fiscal 2001, ‘other securi-
ties’ will be reported at fair value on the consolidated balance
sheet with the difference between the fair value and acquisition
cost reported on a net-of-tax basis, as ‘net unrealized gains
(losses) on valuation’, which is a component of stockholders’
equity.

Net unrealized gains (losses) on ‘held-to-maturity securities’
and ‘other securities’ are as shown in the table below. The mar-
ket value of stocks held by the bank in ‘other securities’ is based
on average market prices in the one month before the fiscal
year-end.

Net unrealized gains (losses) on securities at the end of
fiscal 2000 amounted to a net loss of ¥352.8 billion, a decrease
of about one trillion yen compared to the previous fiscal year,
reflecting the large decline in stock prices. At the time of the
merger, all of gross unrealized losses on ‘other securities’
(including ‘other money held in trust’) held by the former Sakura
Bank were disposed of and the net unrealized gains were trans-
ferred to Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation. (For details of
the transfer of unrealized gains (losses) on securities at the time
of the merger, see 1. Adjustments for Merger Accounting
[SMBC’s Unrealized Gains (Losses) (Nonconsolidated)] on
page 68.)

Notes: 1. Fair value is calculated by using the average market price in one month before the fiscal year-end as for the Bank’s stocks and by using the mar-

ket price at the fiscal year-end as for the others.

2. The amount equivalent to net unrealized gains (losses) on ‘other securities’ (including ‘other money held in trust’) was a net loss of ¥212.1 billion

at the fiscal year-end.

2. Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Securities (Before Adjustments for the Merger Accounting)

With the adoption of a new accounting standard for financial
instruments from fiscal 2000 in Japan, securities in consolidated
financial statements have been classified by the purpose for
which they are held. The classifications are: ‘trading securities,’
‘held-to-maturity securities’ and ‘other securities.’

‘Trading securities’ are reported at fair value on the consoli-

dated balance sheet with unrealized holding gains and losses
reported as part of net income. Securities classified as ‘held-to-
maturity securities’ and ‘other securities’ are carried either at
acquisition cost or at amortized cost and are reported on the
consolidated balance sheet. Effective fiscal 2001, ‘other securi-
ties’ will be reported at fair value on the consolidated balance
sheet with the difference between the fair value and acquisition
cost reported on a net-of-tax basis, as ‘net unrealized gains
(losses) on valuation,’ which is a component of stockholders’
equity.

Net unrealized gains (losses) on ‘held-to-maturity securities’
and ‘other securities’ are as shown in the table below. The mar-
ket value of stocks held by the bank in ‘other securities’ is based
on average market prices in the one month before the fiscal
year-end.

Net unrealized gains (losses) on securities at the end of
fiscal 2000 showed a net gain. This was because an unrealized
loss of about one trillion yen from the end of the previous fiscal
year due to the large decline in stock prices, was offset by a
gain on valuation of foreign stocks, Japanese government bonds
and other bonds held by subsidiaries.

(For details of the transfer of unrealized gains (losses) on

securities at the time of the merger, see 1. Adjustments for
Merger Accounting [SMBC’s Unrealized Gains (Losses)

Notes: 1. The figures above include unrealized gains (losses) on negotiable certificates of deposit in ‘cash and due from banks’ and commercial papers as

well as claims on loan trust in ‘commercial paper and other debt purchased.’ Net unrealized gain as well as unrealized gain on them was ¥0.1
billion.

2. Fair value is calculated by using the market price at the fiscal year-end as for bonds and others, and by using the average market price in the

one month before the fiscal year-end as for stocks.

3. The amount equivalent to net unrealized gains (losses) on ‘other securities’ (including ‘other money held in trust’) was a net gain of ¥27.6 billion

at the fiscal year-end.

3. Capital Ratio (BIS Guidelines)

The Bank’s capital ratio (BIS Guidelines) decreased 1.22% from
the end of the previous term, to 11.31%.

Total capital, which constitutes the numerator in the capital

ratio calculation equation, decreased ¥266.6 billion from the
previous fiscal year, to ¥3,834.3 billion, mainly because the
balance of qualifying subordinated debt was reduced as part of
initiatives to lower costs of capital. The denominator, risk-
adjusted assets, increased ¥1,169.8 billion, to ¥33,891.4

number of consolidated companies and the translation effect of
a weaker yen.

In fiscal 2000, Sakura Bank did not mark ‘other securities’ to

market.  Consequently, total capital of the Bank does not take
into consideration unrealized gains (losses) on valuation of ‘other
securities.’

The Bank’s capital ratio (BIS Guidelines) decreased 0.66% from

Total capital, which serves as the numerator in the capital
ratio calculation equation, decreased ¥198.3 billion from the
end of the previous fiscal year, to ¥4,150.0 billion. Contributing
factors include the fact that from fiscal 2000 investments in
affiliates engaged in finance business are taken as items for
deductions and that the general reserve for possible loan losses

included in Tier 2 capital is decreased. The denominator, risk-
adjusted assets, increased ¥448.5 billion, to ¥37,925.2 billion,
owing to factors including the translation effect of a weaker yen.
In fiscal 2000, Sumitomo Bank did not mark ‘other securi-

Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (Formerly The Sakura Bank, Limited)

1. Operating Results
As a result of an ¥18.5 billion increase in gross banking profit
and a ¥23.5 billion decrease in expenses (excluding non-
recurring losses) and bond issue costs, banking profit (excluding
transfer to general reserve for possible loan losses) increased
¥41.9 billion from fiscal 1999, to ¥355.4 billion in fiscal 2000,
ended March 31, 2001.

Operating profit, which is computed by adjusting banking
profit by non-recurring gains (losses) such as total credit cost
and gains (losses) on stocks, was ¥190.7 billion. Total credit
cost, including transfer to general reserve for possible loan
losses, was ¥261.1 billion. This was brought about by factors
involving the continued worsening of corporate financial results
amid the prolonged economic recession, the continued deteriora-
tion of assets as collateral and acceleration in the disposal of
problem assets in advance of the merger. Gains (losses) on

2. Income Analysis
Gross Banking Profit
Gross banking profit increased ¥18.5 billion from the previous
fiscal year, to ¥730.4 billion. This was largely because domestic
net fees and commissions rose ¥6.7 billion, due to an increase
in income from investment trust sales commissions, and
because international net trading income increased ¥10.1
billion, primarily attributable to improved profit on dealing.

Expenses
Expenses (excluding non-recurring losses) decreased ¥22.8
billion from the previous fiscal year, to ¥375.0 billion. This was
mainly due to a wide-ranging and drastic cost review that

stocks decreased ¥290.3 billion from the previous year to ¥51.5
billion.

Net income, after adjustments for operating profit, extra-
ordinary gains (losses) and income taxes, increased ¥25.1 billion
from the previous fiscal year, to ¥82.2 billion. Net income was
¥108.5 billion lower than operating profit, mainly because ¥36.4
billion was appropriated for amortization of net transition obliga-
tion from initial application of the new accounting standard for
employee retirement benefits, and because ¥55.1 billion was
recognized as ‘income taxes, deferred’ under tax-effect account-
ing. In particular, a ¥5.6 billion reduction in deferred tax assets
was associated with the lowering of the effective statutory tax
rate, affected by the establishment of the Osaka Prefectural
Government’s ordinance concerning the special treatment for the
standard of enterprise taxes to the banking industry.

resulted in a ¥15.1 billion reduction in non-personnel expenses,
fully absorbing merger-related costs. It was also due to the ¥6.1
billion decrease in personnel expenses resulting from the
reduction in the number of employees.

Banking Profit
As a result of the above, fiscal 2000 banking profit (excluding
transfer to general reserve for possible loan losses) increased
¥41.9 billion from the previous fiscal year, to ¥355.4 billion. With
a ¥56.0 billion reversal of the general reserve for possible loan
losses, banking profit (including transfer to general reserve for
possible loan losses) increased ¥83.3 billion, to ¥411.4 billion.

1. Operating Results
As a result of a ¥50.2 billion increase in gross banking profit and
an ¥8.0 billion decrease in expenses (excluding non-recurring
losses) and bond issue costs, banking profit (excluding transfer
to general reserve for possible loan losses) increased ¥58.3
billion from fiscal 1999, to ¥447.7 billion in fiscal 2000, ended
March 31, 2001.

Operating profit, which is computed by adjusting banking
profit by non-recurring gains (losses) such as total credit cost
and gains (losses) on stocks, was ¥168.4 billion. Total credit
cost, including transfer to general reserve for possible loan
losses, amounted to ¥558.0 billion. It is partly because loan
forgiveness in favor of borrowers increased, and partly because
provision for workout of problem assets in the next couple of
fiscal years was reserved, and also because asset qualities and
collateral values deteriorated more seriously than expected.

2. Income Analysis
Gross Banking Profit
Gross banking profit increased ¥50.2 billion from the previous
fiscal year, to ¥772.8 billion. This was largely because domestic
net fees and commissions rose ¥6.2 billion, due to increased earn-
ings generated from electronic banking and exchange transac-
tions. It also reflected a ¥7.1 billion increase in net gains on bonds
in other operating income. Moreover, international net interest
income increased ¥33.5 billion, which was mainly attributable to
dividends received from overseas subsidiaries and affiliates.

Expenses
Expenses (excluding non-recurring losses) decreased ¥4.7
billion from the previous fiscal year, to ¥325.1 billion. This was
mainly due to a ¥3.6 billion decrease in personnel expenses as

tion from initial application of the new accounting standard for
employee retirement benefits, but mainly because ¥70.6 billion in
expenses was recognized as ‘income taxes, deferred’ under tax-
effect accounting. In particular, a ¥26.4 billion reduction in

costs fully absorbed through the integration and effective opera-
tion of domestic and overseas branches, and administration

As a result of the above, fiscal 2000 banking profit (excluding

Non-recurring Gains (Losses) (Including Disposal of
Problem Assets)
Non-recurring losses amounted to ¥220.6 billion. This was
mainly due to ¥317.1 billion disposal of problem assets (total
credit cost, including transfer to general reserve for possible
loan losses, was ¥261.1 billion), accompanying ¥51.5 billion
gains on sale of stocks.  (For the disposal and the disclosed
amount of problem assets, see Asset Quality on page 10.)

Extraordinary Gains (Losses)
Extraordinary losses reached ¥51.7 billion. This primarily
reflected a loss of ¥16.1 billion on disposition of premises and
equipment, because of factors such as losses on the sale of idle
real estate as part of restructuring, and the cost of disposing of
branches as a result of integration. Another important factor
was the appropriation of ¥36.4 billion for amortization of net

transition obligation from initial application of the new accounting
standard for employee retirement benefits from the fiscal year.

Operating Profit and Net Income
As a result of the above, operating profit increased ¥30.8 billion
from the previous fiscal year, to ¥190.7 billion. Net income, the
amount after adjusting operating profit for extraordinary gains
(losses) and income taxes, increased ¥25.1 billion from the
previous fiscal year, to ¥82.2 billion.

Due to the establishment of the Osaka Prefectural

Government’s ordinance concerning the special treatment for
the standard of enterprise taxes to the banking industry in June
2000, the impact of a ¥5.6 billion decrease in deferred tax
assets caused an increase in deferred income taxes and a
decrease in net income by the same amount.

3. Assets, Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity
Assets
Notwithstanding efforts to increase prime assets, including loans to
individuals and small and medium-sized corporations, such factors
as a slowdown in demand for funds by large and medium-sized
enterprises and the negative effect of the disposal of problem
assets led loans and bills discounted to decrease ¥1,364.5 billion
from the end of the previous fiscal year, to ¥30,575.5 billion.
Meanwhile, securities increased ¥3,288.1 billion, to ¥10,199.7
billion, mainly because of a purchase of bonds for additional contri-
bution of collateral with the introduction of RTGS (real-time gross
settlement).

Assets, Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity

Liabilities
Deposits decreased ¥931.5 billion from the end of the previous
fiscal year, to ¥28,872.2 billion, while negotiable certificates of
deposit increased ¥1,122.9 billion, to ¥4,661.8 billion under the cir-
cumstances where corporations turned sensitive to interest rates.

Stockholders’ Equity
Stockholders’ equity increased ¥28.9 billion from the end of the
previous fiscal year, to ¥2,281.2 billion. The total number of shares
issued at the end of the fiscal year consisted of 4,118 million
shares of common stock and 802 million shares of preferred
stock. Stockholders’ equity (excluding preferred stock and accom-
panying capital surplus) per share increased ¥7.05, to ¥358.43.

4. Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Securities (Before Adjustments for the Merger Accounting)
Unrealized gains (losses) on the valuation of securities at the end
of fiscal 2000 came to a net loss of ¥342.4 billion, a drop of
about one trillion yen from the end of the previous fiscal year,
reflecting the large decline in stock prices. For the calculation of
stocks in ‘other securities,’ the average market price in the one
month before the end of the fiscal year is used, but if calculated
using fiscal year-end prices, net unrealized losses on valuation
would be ¥247.5 billion. However, since all of gross unrealized

losses on the valuation of ‘other securities’ held by the former
Sakura Bank at the time of the merger were disposed of and only
the net unrealized gains were transferred to the new bank, the
new bank recorded a net gain on valuation of approximately ¥200
billion at April 1, 2001.  (For details, see 1. Adjustments for
Merger Accounting [SMBC’s Unrealized Gains (Losses)
(Nonconsolidated)] on page 68.)

5. Dividend Policy
With respect to the interest of shareholders, the Bank subscribes
to a fundamental policy of issuing appropriate dividends, with the
specific view of enriching capital and preserving sound manage-
ment. As for year-end dividends, the Bank issued dividends per
common share at ¥6.00 (including ¥3.00 of delivered money due

66

to the merger) and dividends per preferred share for series II at
¥15.00 (including ¥7.50 of delivered money due to the merger),
and at ¥13.70 (including ¥6.85 of delivered money due to the
merger) for series III (Type 2), the same as the previous term.

3. Assets, Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity
Assets
Loans and bills discounted decreased ¥186.2 billion from the end
of the previous fiscal year, to ¥31,172.3 billion, under the circum-
stances where large corporations in domestic and overseas mar-
kets continuously reduce interest-bearing liabilities. Meanwhile,
securities increased ¥7,878.1 billion, to ¥16,860.3 billion, mainly
because of a purchase of bonds for additional contribution of collat-
eral with the introduction of RTGS (real-time gross settlement) and
an effect of a change in accounting of repurchase agreement
transactions associated with the application of a new accounting
standard for financial instruments.

Deposits increased ¥2,780.8 billion, from the end of the previous

monetary easing measures taken by the Bank of Japan since the
beginning of the year, making funds of individuals and corporations
flow in liquid deposits.

Stockholders’ Equity
Stockholders’ equity increased ¥38.1 billion from the end of the
previous fiscal year, to ¥1,918.7 billion. The total number of shares
issued at the end of fiscal 2000 comprised 3,141 million shares of
common stock and 167 million shares of preferred stock. Stock-
holders’ equity (excluding preferred stock and accompanying
capital surplus) per share increased ¥12.12 to ¥451.35.

4. Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Securities (Before Adjustments for the Merger Accounting)
Unrealized gains (losses) on the valuation of securities at the end
of fiscal 2000 came to a slight net loss of ¥89.6 billion, because
net unrealized gains (losses) on valuation of stocks significantly
dropped by about one trillion yen from the end of the previous
fiscal year, reflecting the large decline in stock prices, while being
offset by net unrealized gains on valuation of bonds. For the
calculation of stocks in ‘other securities,’ the average market
price in the one month before the end of the fiscal year is used,
but if calculated using fiscal year-end prices, net unrealized losses

on valuation of securities would be limited to ¥10.6 billion. How-
ever, since all of gross unrealized losses on ‘other securities’
(including ‘other money held in trust’) held by the former Sakura
Bank at the time of the merger were disposed of and only the net
unrealized gains were transferred to the new bank, the new bank
shows a net gain on valuation of approximately ¥200 billion as of
April 1, 2001.  (For details, see 1. Adjustments for Merger
Accounting [SMBC’s Unrealized Gains (Losses) (Nonconsolidated)]
on page 68.)

With respect to the interest of shareholders, the Bank subscribes
to a fundamental policy of issuing appropriate dividends with the
specific view of enriching capital and preserving sound
management.

In view of enriching capital by appropriate retained earnings,
at fiscal year-end, the Bank issued dividends per common share
at ¥6.00, and dividends per preferred share for First series Type
I at ¥10.50 and at ¥28.50 for Second series Type I, the same as
the previous term.

1. Adjustments for Merger Accounting

Prior to the succession of Sakura’s assets, liabilities and capital
accompanying the April 1 merger, the Bank applied certain
accounting to strengthen the financial base of the bank.

First, the unrealized losses on Sakura’s securities classified
as ‘other securities’ (including ‘other money held in trust’) were
revaluated at fair value and transferred to SMBC. The same
treatment was applied to land, which had been revaluated at fair
value before. Also, Sakura’s net transition obligation on

employee retirement benefits was fully provisioned prior to the
merger.

Since this accounting treatment increased deferred tax
assets, the result was that ¥427.0 billion was deducted from the
stockholders’ equity of the former Sakura Bank before its
transfer to SMBC

The financial positions of the new bank, SMBC, on the date

of the merger were as follows.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (Formerly The Sakura Bank, Limited and Subsidiaries)
Years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000
Years ended March 31, 1999 and 1998
1. Basis of Consolidated Financial Statements and
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

significant influence over operations are to be accounted for by
the equity method.

(1) Basis of consolidated financial statements
Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (formerly The Sakura Bank,
Limited) (the “Bank”), a Japanese corporation, maintains its record
and prepares its financial statements in Japanese yen.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have
been prepared on the basis of accounting principles and practices
generally accepted in Japan and in conformity with the “Regulation
for consolidated financial statements,” which may differ to some
degree from accounting principles and practices generally
accepted in countries and jurisdictions other than Japan, and are
compiled from the consolidated financial statements as required
by the Securities and Exchange Law of Japan.

Certain reclassifications and rearrangements have been made
to present the accompanying consolidated financial statements in
a form which is familiar to readers outside Japan. In addition, the
accompanying notes include information which is not required
under accounting principles and practices generally accepted in
Japan, but is presented herein as additional information.

References to fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999 are to the Bank’s

fiscal years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

As permitted by the Securities and Exchange Law of Japan,
amounts less than one million yen have been omitted. As a result,
the totals in Japanese yen shown in the financial statements do not
necessarily agree with the sum of the individual amounts.

The U.S. dollar amounts shown in the accompanying consoli-
dated financial statements and notes thereto represent the arith-
metical results of translating original Japanese yen amounts of
respective account balances to U.S. dollars on a basis of ¥123.90
to US$1, the exchange rate prevailing as of March 31, 2001. The
inclusion of such U.S. dollar amounts is solely for convenience and
not intended to imply that yen amounts have been or could have
been converted, realized or settled in U.S. dollars at that or at any
other rate.

(2) Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Bank include
accounts of the Bank and its significant subsidiaries. Major
consolidated subsidiaries for fiscal 2000 are listed below:

Name

Sakura Securities Co., Ltd.
Manufacturers Bank
Sakura Finance International Limited
Sakura Finance Australia Limited

Location

Tokyo
Los Angeles
London
Sydney

Percentage
Ownership

100%
100%
100%
100%

Under the control and influence concept, those companies in
which the Bank, directly or indirectly, is able to exercise control
over operations are to be fully consolidated and those companies
in which the Bank, directly or indirectly, is able to exercise

The number of consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates as of

March 31, 2001 and 2000, was as follows:

Consolidated subsidiaries
Subsidiaries and affiliates accounted
  for by the equity method

2001

65

2000

51

32

The net decrease in the number of consolidated subsidiaries and
equity method subsidiaries and affiliates listed above is mainly due
to stock sales or mergers whereby consolidation or equity method
accounting for certain subsidiaries or affiliates was no longer
required. The decrease was partially offset by the establishment of
new subsidiaries, the purchase of additional stock or the injection
of capital that required their consolidation or the equity method of
accounting.

All significant intercompany transactions, account balances

and unrealized profits and losses have been eliminated in
consolidation.

The financial statements of consolidated subsidiaries, whose
fiscal year-ends are principally December 31, are included in the
consolidated financial statements on the basis of their respective
fiscal years after making appropriate adjustments for significant
transactions during the periods from their respective year-ends to
the date of the consolidated financial statements.

Any difference between the cost of an investment in a consoli-

dated subsidiary and the Bank’s share of the underlying equity in
the net assets fair value of the consolidated subsidiary is charged
or credited to income, as the case may be, in the year incurred.

(3) Translation of foreign currency financial statements
(i) The financial statements of foreign consolidated subsidiaries
and affiliates are translated into Japanese yen at exchange
rates as of the balance sheet date, except for stockholders’
equity, which is translated at the historical exchange rate. In
accordance with the revised accounting standard for foreign
currency translation, the presentation of Foreign currency
translation adjustments is changed from Assets to
Stockholders’ equity and Minority interests.
(a) Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities and the
accounts of overseas branches are translated into Japa-
nese yen at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance
sheet date, except that certain assets and liabilities are
translated at the relevant historical exchange rates.
(b) Foreign currency accounts held by consolidated foreign
subsidiaries are translated into the currency of the
subsidiary at the respective year-end exchange rates.

(ii)

(4) Valuation of trading account activities
Trading account positions representing earnings or losses derived
from trades made for the purpose of seeking to capture gains

75

arising from short-term changes in interest rates, currency
exchange rates, or market prices of securities and other market-
related indices or from gaps among markets are included in
trading assets and trading liabilities on a trade date basis.

Trading securities and monetary claims purchased for trading
purposes recorded in these accounts are stated at market value
and financial derivatives related to trading transactions are stated
at the amounts that would be settled if they were terminated at the
end of the fiscal year.

Trading profits and trading losses include interest received and

paid, the amount of increase/decrease in evaluation gains/losses
on the balance sheet date for securities and monetary claims, and
the amount of increase/decrease of evaluation gains/losses
incurred from the estimated settlement price assuming settlement
in cash on the balance sheet date for derivatives, compared with
that at the end of the previous term.

(5) Valuation of securities
Prior to April 1, 2000, securities, including stocks, corporate
bonds, and Japanese national and local government bonds, were
stated at moving-average cost.

Securities included in money held in trust were also recorded

at moving-average cost.

Effective April 1, 2000, as for securities other than those in
trading portfolio, debt securities that the Bank and consolidated
subsidiaries have the intent and ability to hold to maturity (held-to-
maturity securities) are carried at amortized cost, using the
moving-average method.

Investments in nonconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates that

are not accounted for by the equity method are carried at cost,
using the moving-average method.

Securities excluding those classified as trading securities,
held-to-maturity or investments in nonconsolidated subsidiaries and
affiliates are defined as other securities. Debt securities in other
securities are carried at amortized cost, using the moving-average
method. Equity securities in other securities are carried at cost,
using the moving-average method.

Valuation of securities held in individually managed money
trusts for asset management purposes are determined by the
same method as above.

(6) Valuation of derivatives for nontrading purposes
Derivative financial instruments other than those held for trading
purposes are accounted for by the market value method.

(7) Hedge accounting
In accordance with the Industry Audit Committee Report No. 15
‘Temporary Treatment for Accounting and Auditing of Application of
Accounting Standard for Financial Instruments in Banking Industry’
issued by JICPA in 2000, the Bank applies hedge accounting,
abiding by the following requirements:

(i) Loans, deposits and other interest-bearing assets and
liabilities as a whole shall be recognized as the hedged
portfolio.

(ii) Derivatives as hedging instruments shall effectively reduce

the interest rate exposure of the hedged portfolio.

(iii) Effectiveness of hedging activities shall be evaluated on a

quarterly basis.
Certain derivatives are recorded on a cost basis using the
short-cut method for interest rate swaps in view of consis-
tency with the risk management policy.

The subsidiaries use the deferred hedge accounting or the

short-cut method for interest rate swaps.

Net of deferred unrealized gains and losses from hedging
instruments is reported in other liabilities. Deferred unrealized
losses and unrealized gains from hedging instruments are
¥191,628 million ($1,546 million) and ¥208,232 million ($1,680
million), respectively.

(8) Depreciation method
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation.

The depreciation of premises and equipment of the Bank is
computed by the declining balance method (except for that of
buildings, which is computed by the straight-line method.)

Depreciation of buildings (which were acquired on or before
March 31, 1998), building fixtures and structures were computed
by the declining balance method before this term. The Bank
reviewed the actual condition of buildings and related assets and
observed that they had been consistently used for branch offices
and other purposes over a long period of time. As a result, the
Bank found that the straight-line method, which calculates level
depreciation charges over their useful lives, was a more reason-
able method to reflect profit and loss for each accounting term
more properly. Accordingly, we have changed the depreciation
method to the straight-line method from this fiscal year. As a result
of this change, Income before income taxes for this fiscal year
increased by ¥1,482 million ($11 million) from the corresponding
amount that would have been recorded if the declining balance
method was adopted.

The estimated useful lives of major items are as follows:
10 to 50 years
5 to 20 years

Buildings
Equipment

Depreciation of premises and equipment of subsidiaries is
computed mainly by the straight-line method based on estimated
useful life.

Capitalized software for internal use is depreciated by the
straight-line method based on useful life estimated by the Bank
and subsidiaries (mainly five years). Capitalized software for
internal use is included in other assets.

76

(9) Accounting for leases
All leases by the Bank and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries
have been accounted for as operating leases. Under Japanese
accounting standards for leases, if financing leases where the
ownership of the property is deemed to transfer to the lessee are
capitalized, while other financing leases can be accounted for as
operating leases if necessary information is disclosed in the notes
to the lessee’s consolidated financial statements.

(10) Reserve for possible loan losses
The reserve for possible loan losses of the Bank has been
established based on the Bank’s internal rules for establishing a
reserve for possible loan losses.

liability for lump-sum payments is stated at the amount which
would be required to be paid by the Bank if all eligible employees
voluntarily retired at the balance sheet date.

In addition, the Bank has defined benefit pension plans which
substantially cover all employees. Annual contributions, which con-
sist of normal costs and amortization of prior service costs, are
included in general and administrative expenses.

Effective April 1, 2000, a new accounting standard for pension
plans and severance indemnity plans, reserve for employee retire-
ment benefit is recorded based on an actuarial computation, which
uses the present value of the projected benefit obligation and
pension assets, due to employee’s credited years of services at
the balance sheet date.

Customers are initially classified into ten categories, in accor-

Prior service cost and unrecognized net actuarial differences

dance with the Bank’s own credit rating system. Based on the
results of the self-assessment, those customers are classified
into five categories: such as “Normal Borrowers,” “Borrowers
Requiring Caution,” “Potentially Bankrupt Borrowers,” “Effectively
Bankrupt Borrowers” and “Bankrupt Borrowers,” as defined by the
report of JICPA.

The reserve for possible loan losses was calculated based
on the specific actual past loss ratio for Normal Borrowers and
Borrowers Requiring Caution categories as a general reserve, and
the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans and
other factors of solvency for other self-assessment categories for
a specific reserve. For collateral or guaranteed claims of Effec-
tively Bankrupt Borrowers and Bankrupt Borrowers, the amount
exceeding the estimated value of collateral or guarantees was
deducted, as deemed uncollectible, directly from those claims.
The deducted amount was ¥1,121,687 million ($9,053 million)
and ¥1,125,967 million for fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999,
respectively.

For foreign claims, there is a reserve for loans to restructuring

countries which has been established based on losses estimated
by considering political and economic situations in those
countries.

All claims are being assessed by the branches and credit
supervision divisions based on the Bank’s internal rules for the self-
assessment of asset quality. The Assets Review and Inspection
Division, which is independent from branches and credit super-
vision divisions, conducts audits of these assessments.

The consolidated subsidiaries provide reserves for possible
loan losses at the amounts considered reasonable in accordance
with local accounting standards and are based on prior experience
with loan losses.

(11) Reserve for employee retirement benefit
Under the terms of the Bank’s retirement plan, substantially all
employees are entitled to a lump-sum payment at the time of
retirement. The amount of reserve for employee retirement benefit
is, in general, based on length of service, basic salary at the time
of retirement and reason for retirement. Prior to April 1,2000, the

are amortized as follows respectively.

Prior service cost:

Amortized by the straight-line basis over the prescribed
years within the average remaining service period
(primarily 11 years) of active employees.

Unrecognized net actuarial differences:

Amortized from the next fiscal year by the straight-line basis
over the prescribed years within the average remaining
service period (primarily 11 years) of active employees.
Unrecognized net obligation from initial application of the new
accounting standard of ¥193,823 million ($1,564 million) is amor-
tized using the straight-line method over mainly five years.

Due to the new accounting standard, Income before income
taxes and minority interests for the year ended March 31, 2001
has decreased compared with prior accounting method by
¥29,590 million ($238 million).

(12) Reserve for possible losses on loans sold
Reserve for possible losses on loans sold to the Cooperative
Credit Purchasing Company, Limited (CCPC), is made to provisions
in amounts which it views to be necessary based on estimates of
possible losses it may sustain in the future on loans sold to the
CCPC, taking into account of the value of real estate collateral
securing these loans.

(13) Land revaluation excess
Under the Law of Land Revaluation, effective on March 31, 1998,
the Bank elected the one-time revaluation for its own-use land to
current value based on real estate appraisal information as of
March 31, 1998. Continuous readjustment is not permitted unless
the value of the land subsequently declines significantly such that
the amount of the decline in value should be removed from the
land revaluation excess account and deferred tax liabilities. The
amount equivalent to the tax on the revaluation is provided as
deferred tax liability for land revaluation, and the remaining amount
after the deferred tax liability is included in stockholders’ equity as
land revaluation excess.

77

The details of the one-time revaluation were as follows:
The date of land revaluation: March 31, 1998
The revaluation of land used for banking business was rationally

dividends on preferred shares, divided by the weighted average
number of outstanding shares of common stock during the
respective year.

made, reflecting appropriate adjustments for land shape, timing of
the appraisal, etc., based on the appraisal reports for real estate
issued by real estate appraisers under the Law of Land Revaluation.
The excess of book value over current value was ¥35,942
million ($290 million) as of March 31, 2001 and ¥29,181 million
as of March 31, 2000.

(14) Income taxes
Deferred income taxes relating to temporary differences between
financial and tax reporting have been recognized.

(15) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and demand
deposits with the Bank of Japan.

The assets and liabilities of the newly consolidated company

due to acquisition of stocks of The Minato Bank, Ltd. and net
expenditure of cash and cash equivalents due to the acquisition of
The Minato Bank, Ltd. is as follows:

Assets (including ¥1,806,408 million of loans)

(16) Appropriation of retained earnings
Cash dividends are recorded in the financial year that the relevant
proposed appropriation of retained earnings is approved by the
Board of Directors and/or at the General Meeting of Shareholders.

(17) Net income per share
Net income per share calculations represent net income less

The calculation considers the dilutive effect of common
stock equivalents, which includes preferred shares and certain
convertible bonds, assuming that all convertible bonds and
preferred shares were converted into common stock. Diluted net
income per common share is to be appropriately adjusted for
free distributions of common stock. For fiscal 1999, however,
diluted net income per common share is not applicable because
it is anti-dilutive.

(18) Differences between the accounting principles and

practices adopted in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements and International Accounting
Standards

The accompanying consolidated financial statements conform with
accounting principles and practices generally accepted in Japan.
Such principles and practices differ from International Accounting
Standards in several respects, such as methods for valuation of
securities, hedge accounting and accounting for leases, among
others.

(19) New accounting standard for financial instruments
Effective April 1, 2000, a new accounting standard for financial
instruments was adopted in Japan. Accordingly, the valuation
methods of securities and derivatives, excluding those in the trad-
ing portfolio, have been changed, and hedge accounting has been
adopted. As a result, Income before income taxes and minority
interests has increased ¥36,146 million ($291 million) compared
with the prior accounting method. Income and expenses relating to
derivative transactions that meet the criteria for hedge accounting
are presented net by account, which represents a change from the
prior accounting that presented net by transaction. As a result,
Income and expenses for 2001 have decreased ¥155,585 million
($1,255 million), though Income before income taxes and minority
interests did not change.

Under the Japanese Commercial Code (the “Code”), at least 50%
of the issue price of new shares, with a minimum of the par value
thereof, is required to be designated as stated capital. The portion
which is to be designated as stated capital is determined by
resolution of the Board of Directors. Proceeds in excess of the
amounts designated as stated capital have been credited to
capital surplus.

(i)

(ii)

Under the Code,
the Bank may, by resolution of the stockholders, transfer a
portion of retained earnings available for dividends to the
capital stock account, and
the Bank may, by resolution of the Board of Directors, issue
new shares of common stock to the existing stockholders
without consideration to the extent that the amount calculated
by multiplying the number of outstanding shares after the issu-
ance by par value per share does not exceed the stated capi-
tal, or that the amount calculated by dividing the total amount
of stockholders’ equity by the number of outstanding shares
after the issuance shall not be less than ¥50. These issuances
of the new shares are treated as stock splits.
Holders of Series II preferred shares issued on October 1,
1996, are entitled to priority as to the payment of dividends and
as to distributions on liquidation of the Bank to common stock of
the Bank, to receive noncumulative dividends of ¥15 and a
distribution of ¥2,000 per preferred share.

Series II preferred shares are convertible on or after October

1, 1997, and up to and including September 30, 2001, at the

due to a number of factors, including, among others, (1) certain
expenses permanently not deductible for tax purposes, (2) the new

Due to the establishment of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s
ordinance concerning the special treatment for the standard of
enterprise taxes to banking industries on March 31, 2000, the nor-
mal statutory tax rate for the computation of deferred tax assets
and liabilities decreased from 42.05% to 39.62%. This change
decreased the amount of deferred tax assets by ¥35,791 million
and increased deferred tax in fiscal 1999 by the same amount.
The amount of deferred tax liabilities for land revaluation
decreased by ¥1,968 million as a result of the revaluation and
increased the land revaluation excess by the same amount.
Due to the establishment of the Osaka Prefectural

Government’s ordinance concerning the special treatment for the
standard of enterprise taxes to banking industries on June 9,

2000, the normal statutory tax rate for the computation of
deferred tax assets and liabilities decreased from 39.62% to
39.20%. This change decreased the amount of deferred tax
assets and deferred tax liabilities for land revaluation by ¥5,616
million ($45 million) and ¥294 million ($2 million), respectively.
Enterprise taxes other than those relating to income are
included in other expenses. Effective April 1, 2000, the Special
Ordinance Concerning Taxation Standard for Enterprise Taxes in
Relation to Banks in the Tokyo Metropolis (Tokyo Metropolis
Ordinance 145 of April 1, 2000) was enacted, and enterprise
taxes in Tokyo, which were included in income taxes, current for
the prior period, are now included in other expenses in the amount
of ¥8,733 million ($70 million).

31. Reserve for Employee Retirement Benefit
(1) Outline of retirement benefit
The Bank and consolidated subsidiaries in Japan have contributory
funded defined benefit pension plans, such as contributory pension
plans, qualified pension plans and lump-sum severance indemnity
plans. They may grant additional benefit in cases where certain
requirements are met when employees retire.

The Bank contributed certain marketable equity securities to

an employee retirement benefit trust.

At March 31, 2001, the Bank and The Minato Bank, Ltd. have

contributed funded defined benefit pension plans. Sakura Friend
Securities Co., Ltd. and SAKURA K.C.S. Corporation have qualified
pension plans. The Bank and most subsidiaries in Japan have
lump-sum severance indemnity plans.

33. Loan Commitments
Commitment line contracts on overdrafts and loans are agree-
ments to lend to customers when they apply for borrowing, to a
prescribed amount, as long as there is no violation of any condi-
tion established in the contracts. The amount of unused commit-
ments was ¥6,912,401 million ($55,790 million), and the amount

of unused commitments whose original contract terms are within
one year or unconditionally cancelable at any time was
¥6,322,207 million ($51,026 million) as of March 31, 2001. Since
many of these commitments are expected to expire without being
drawn upon, the total amount of unused commitments does not

90

necessarily represent actual future cash flow requirements. Many
of these commitments have clauses that the Bank and consoli-
dated subsidiaries can reject an application from customers or
reduce the contract amounts in case economic conditions are
changed, the Bank and consolidated subsidiaries need to secure
claims and other events occur. In addition, the Bank and

consolidated subsidiaries request the customers to pledge
collateral such as premises and securities at the conclusion of the
contracts, and take necessary measures such as grasping cus-
tomers’ financial positions, revising contracts when the need
arises and securing claims after the conclusion of the contracts.

Notes: 1. The geographic segmentation is decided based on the degrees of following factors: geographic proximity, similarity of economic activities and

relationship of business activities among regions.

2. Americas includes the United States, Canada and others; Europe includes the United Kingdom, Germany and others; Asia and Oceania includes

Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and others except Japan.

3. (a) As shown in Notes to consolidated financial statements, the Bank changed the depreciation method from the declining balance method to the

straight-line method from this fiscal year. Consequently, operating profit increased by ¥1,482 million ($11 million) in Japan, compared with
the prior accounting method.

(b) As shown in Notes to consolidated financial statements, accounting standard for employee retirement benefit was applied from the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2001. Consequently, operating profit increased by ¥9,558 million ($77 million) in Japan, compared with the prior
accounting method.

(c) As shown in Notes to consolidated financial statements, accounting standard for financial instruments was applied from the fiscal year ended

March 31, 2001, and the method to evaluate securities and derivatives and the method of hedge accounting were changed.
Consequently, operating profit increased by ¥35,427 million ($285 million) in Japan, by ¥572 million ($4 million) in Americas, and by ¥31
million ($0 million) in Europe, and by ¥114 million ($0 million) in Asia and Oceania, compared with prior accounting method.
Effective April 1, 2000, income and expenses relating to derivative transactions that meet the criteria for hedge accounting are presented net
by account, which has been changed from prior accounting that presented net by transaction. As a result, operating income and expenses
decreased by ¥132,394 million ($1,068 million) in Japan, by ¥4,340 million ($35 million) in Americas, by ¥14,269 million ($115 million) in
Europe, and by ¥4,580 million ($36 million) in Asia and Oceania for 2001 compared with the prior accounting method.

(d) As shown in Notes to consolidated financial statements, enterprise tax other than relating to pre-tax income was included in operating

expenses. Effective April 1, 2000, the Special ordinance concerning taxation standard for enterprise taxes in relation to banks in the Tokyo
Metropolis (Tokyo Metropolis Ordinance 145 of April 1, 2000) was enacted, and the enterprise tax in Tokyo, which was not included in
operating expenses for prior period, was included in operating expenses in Japan by the amount of ¥8,733 million ($70 million) for 2001.

Operating income or expenses represent total income or expenses
excluding Gains or losses on dispositions of premises and equip-
ment, Collection of written-off claims, Transfer to (from) Other

reserves, Gains on exemption of obligation, Losses on disposal of
loans at a subsidiary and Amortization of unrecognized net transi-
tion obligation for employee retirement benefit.

From fiscal 1999, operating income from overseas operations is listed in place of operating income from international operations to
express foreign trading activities more correctly. Operating income from overseas operations comprises transactions at the Bank’s over-
seas branches and income from overseas consolidated subsidiaries. The composition of this substantial volume of transactions is not
broken down by counterparty and, therefore, data by region and country have not been included.

37. Subsequent Events
The Bank merged with The Sumitomo Bank, Limited and transferred its assets, liabilities, all the claims and obligations and employees to
The Sumitomo Bank, Limited as of April 1, 2001.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (Formerly The Sumitomo Bank, Limited) and Subsidiaries
March 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999
Years Ended March 31, 1999 and 1998
1. Basis of Financial Statements
Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (formerly The Sumitomo
Bank, Limited) (the “Bank”), a Japanese corporation, maintains its
records and prepares its financial statements in Japanese yen.

The Bank and its consolidated domestic subsidiaries maintain

their accounts and records in accordance with accounting prin-
ciples and prevailing practices generally accepted in Japan, which
are different from accounting and disclosure requirements of
international accounting standards.

The accounts of overseas consolidated subsidiaries are based

on their accounting records maintained in conformity with gener-
ally accepted accounting principles and the practices prevailing in
the respective countries of domicile.

In preparing the accompanying consolidated financial state-
ments, certain reclassifications have been made in the consoli-
dated financial statements issued domestically in order to present
them in a form which is more familiar to readers outside Japan.
The consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for 2001,
2000 and 1999 have been prepared for the purpose of inclusion
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, although
such statements were not required for domestic purposes and
were not filed with the regulatory authorities.

Amounts less than one million yen have been omitted. As a
result, the totals in Japanese yen shown in the financial statements
do not necessarily agree with the sum of the individual amounts.
For the convenience of the readers, the accompanying U.S.
dollar financial statements have been translated from Japanese
yen, as a matter of arithmetical computation only, at the rate of
¥123.90 to US$1, the exchange rate prevailing at March 31,
2001. The translations should not be construed as a representa-
tion that Japanese yen have been or could have been converted
into U.S. dollars at that rate.

2. Significant Accounting Policies
(1) Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Bank and its significant subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Effective April 1, 1998, a new accounting standard on con-

solidated financial statements (the “New Standard”) has been
adopted in Japan. The New Standard requires a company to
consolidate any subsidiaries of which the company substantially
controls the operations, even if it is not a majority owned subsid-
iary. Control exists where the company has (a) the power to
appoint or remove the majority of the numbers of the board of
directors or equivalent governing body; or (b) the power to cast
the majority votes at meetings of the board of directors or
equivalent governing body, etc.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
consolidated subsidiaries, of which the fiscal year-ends on or after
December 31. In case that these subsidiaries have a significant

116

transaction during the period from their fiscal year-end to March
31, the Bank makes an adjustment to the consolidated financial
statements to be comprehensive.

In the elimination of investments in subsidiaries, the assets
and liabilities of the subsidiaries, including the portion attributable
to minority shareholders, are evaluated using the fair value at the
time the Bank acquired control of the respective subsidiaries.

Goodwill on The Sumitomo Credit Service Company, Ltd. is
amortized using the straight-line method over five years. Goodwill
on the other entities is charged or credited to income directly.

Investments in major affiliates are accounted for by the equity
method. Net income (loss) from such investments were ¥36,479
million ($294 million) recorded as other income and ¥(35,549)
million recorded as other expense for 2001 and 2000,
respectively.

(2) Statements of cash flows
For the purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows,
cash and cash equivalents represent cash and due from banks.

Starting from fiscal 1999, the definition of due from banks has

been changed to include all non-interest bearing deposits.

The Bank prepared the 2001 and 2000 consolidated state-
ments of cash flows as required by and in accordance with the
“Standards for Preparation of Consolidated Cash Flow Statements,
etc.,” effective from the year ended March 31, 2000.

The 1999 consolidated statement of cash flows, which was

voluntarily prepared for the purpose of inclusion in the consoli-
dated financial statements in a form familiar to readers outside
Japan, has not been restated. One of the significant differences
between the consolidated statements of cash flows in 2001 and
2000 and in 1999 is the use of pretax income in 2001 and 2000
instead of net income in 1999.

Additionally, some of the classification of activities, such as

loans (previously classified as investing) and deposits (previously
classified as financing), were changed to operating activities.

(3) Trading assets and liabilities
Financial instruments, such as derivatives and trading securities,
which are held for the short term in anticipation of market gains,
are recorded at fair value. Such gains and losses are included in
trading profits or losses on the consolidated statements of
income.

Trading assets and liabilities are accounted for based on

trading date.

(4) Securities
Prior to April 1, 2000, securities, including stocks, corporate
bonds, and Japanese national and local government bonds, were
stated at moving-average cost.

Securities included in money held in trust were also recorded

at moving-average cost.

Effective April 1, 2000, as for securities other than those in
trading portfolio, debt securities that the Bank and consolidated
subsidiaries have the intent and ability to hold to maturity (held-to-
maturity securities) are carried at amortized cost using the
moving-average method.

Investments in nonconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates that
are not accounted for by the equity method are carried at cost us-
ing the moving-average method.

Securities excluding those classified as trading securities,
held-to-maturity or investments in nonconsolidated subsidiaries and
affiliates are defined as other securities. Debt securities in other
securities are carried at amortized cost using the moving-average
method. Equity securities in other securities are carried at cost
using the moving-average method.

Securities held by the consolidated overseas subsidiaries are

carried at cost (amortized cost) using primarily the specific
identification method.

Securities included in money held in trust are carried in the

same manner.

(5) Derivative transactions
Derivative transactions, excluding those classified as trading
derivatives, are carried at fair value, though some consolidated
overseas subsidiaries account for derivative transactions in
accordance with local accounting standards.

(6) Hedge accounting
In accordance with the Industry Audit Committee Report No. 15
‘Temporary Treatment for Accounting and Auditing of Application of
Accounting Standard for Financial Instruments in Banking Industry’
issued by JICPA in 2000, the Bank applies hedge accounting,
abiding by the following requirements:

(i) Loans, deposits and other interest-bearing assets and
liabilities as a whole shall be recognized as the hedged
portfolio.

(ii) Derivatives as hedging instruments shall effectively reduce

the interest rate exposure of the hedged portfolio.

(iii) Effectiveness of hedging activities shall be evaluated on a

quarterly basis.

Certain derivatives managed by some foreign branches are
recorded on a cost basis using the short-cut method for interest
rate swaps in view of consistency with the risk management
policy.

In accordance with the Industry Audit Committee Report
No. 19 ‘Temporary Treatment for Accounting and Auditing of
Application of Accounting Standard for Financial Instruments in
Leasing Industry’ issued by JICPA in 2000, one of the consolidated
domestic subsidiaries in the leasing industry applies a deferred
hedge accounting related to portfolio hedge on liabilities. Deriva-
tive transactions, such as interest rate swaps, are used in these
hedging activities, and the contract amount is ¥564,560 million
($4,557 million), the fair value is ¥(12,688) million ($(102) million)

and net unrealized loss is ¥(12,688) million ($(102) million) at
March 31, 2001.

Other domestic subsidiaries use the deferred hedge
accounting or the short-cut method for interest rate swaps.

Net of deferred unrealized gains and losses from hedging
instruments is reported in other liabilities. Deferred unrealized
losses and unrealized gains from hedging instruments at March
31, 2001 are ¥668,099 million ($5,392 million) and ¥680,130
million ($5,489 million), respectively.

(7) Nonaccrual loans
Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when such loans
are classified as Bankrupt and Effectively Bankrupt and Potentially
Bankrupt by the self-assessment rule (see (10) Reserve for
possible loan losses).

(8) Premises and equipment
Premises and equipment are generally stated at cost less accumu-
lated depreciation. The Bank computes depreciation for premises
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
the respective assets. The depreciation for equipment is com-
puted using the declining-balance method over the estimated
useful lives of the respective assets.

Depreciation of premises and equipment owned by consolidated

domestic subsidiaries is mainly computed using the declining-
balance method, while depreciation of those owned by consolidated
overseas subsidiaries is mainly computed using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of respective assets.

(9) Software costs
Capitalized software for internal use is depreciated using the
straight-line method over its estimated useful lives (mainly five
years) at the Bank and consolidated domestic subsidiaries, and
included in other assets.

(10) Reserve for possible loan losses
Reserve for possible loan losses of the Bank and its major con-
solidated subsidiaries is provided based on the internal rules for
write-offs and reserves for loans.

Based on the self-assessment rule for the credit quality of the

assets (“self-assessment rule”), the Bank and its major consoli-
dated subsidiaries classify a borrower into one of the following five
risk categories according to the borrower’s credit risk: Bankrupt
Borrowers who are legally bankrupt, Effectively Bankrupt Borrowers
who are regarded as substantially in the same situation as legally
bankrupt borrowers, Potentially Bankrupt Borrowers who are not
currently in the status of bankrupt but are likely to become bank-
rupt in future, Borrowers Requiring Caution or Normal Borrowers.
For collateral and/or guaranteed loans of Bankrupt Borrowers
and Effectively Bankrupt Borrowers, the Bank recognizes a portion
exceeding the appraised value of collateral of and/or the amount

117

deemed collectible from guarantees of those loans as irrecover-
able, and writes off the portion.  For the years ended March 31,
2001 and 2000, the Bank and the consolidated subsidiaries made
such write-offs of ¥887,791 million ($7,165 million) and
¥978,443 million, respectively.

For loans of Bankrupt Borrowers and Effectively Bankrupt
Borrowers, the Bank provides specific reserves. The amounts of
the specific reserves are calculated by deducting the disposal
value of collateral and/or the amount deemed collectible from
guarantees, from the book balances of those loans which remain
after the write-offs.

The Bank also provides specific reserves for loans of Poten-

tially Bankrupt Borrowers based on the estimated amount of
recoveries from the collateral and/or guarantees and other
pertinent indicators specific to the borrowers.

assets, due to employee’s credited years of services at the bal-
ance sheet date. Unrecognized net actuarial gain or loss is amor-
tized from the next fiscal year using the straight-line method over
certain years (mainly 10 years) within the average remaining ser-
vice period of active employees. Unrecognized net obligation from
initial application of the new accounting standard of ¥105,290
million ($850 million) is amortized using the straight-line method
over five years.

Due to the new accounting standard, Income before income
taxes and minority interests for the year ended March 31, 2001,
has increased compared with prior accounting method by
¥11,266 million ($91 million).

Prepaid pension cost is reported in Other assets at March 31,

2001.

The Bank also provides general reserves for loans of

(13) Translation of foreign currencies

Borrowers Requiring Caution and Normal Borrowers. The ratio of
the general reserves is determined based on the Bank's loan loss
experiences and economic conditions.

The Bank provides additional reserve for the loans originated

in certain countries based on management’s assessment of
economic or political conditions of such countries.

Reserve for possible loan losses of other consolidated subsid-

iaries is provided for general claims by the amount deemed
necessary based on the historical loan-loss ratio, and for doubtful
claims by the amount deemed uncollectible based on respective
assessments.

(11) Reserve for possible losses on loans sold
Reserve for possible losses on loans sold provides for contingent
losses arising from decline of market value of underlying collateral
for loans sold to the Cooperative Credit Purchasing Company,
Limited.

(12) Reserve for employee retirement benefit
Under the terms of the Bank’s retirement plan, substantially all
employees are entitled to a lump-sum payment at the time of
retirement. The amount of reserve for employee retirement benefit
is, in general, based on length of service, basic salary at the time
of retirement and reason for retirement. Prior to April 1, 2000, the
liability for lump-sum payments is stated at the amount which
would be required to be paid by the Bank if all eligible employees
voluntarily retired at the balance sheet date.

In addition, the Bank has defined benefit pension plans which
substantially cover all employees. Annual contributions, which con-
sist of normal costs and amortization of prior service costs, are
included in general and administrative expenses.

Effective April 1, 2000, a new accounting standard for
employee’s severance and retirement benefits was adopted in
Japan. Reserve for employee retirement benefit (prepaid pension
cost) is recorded based on an actuarial computation, which uses
the present value of the projected benefit obligation and pension

(ii)

(i) The foreign currency financial statements are translated
into Japanese yen at the exchange rate prevailing at
respective year-ends, except for the stockholders’ equity
accounts, which are translated at historical rates.
(a) Foreign currency assets and liabilities of the Bank are
translated into Japanese yen at the exchange rate pre-
vailing at the date of the consolidated balance sheets,
except for certain special investment accounts as
approved by the Japanese regulatory authorities,
which are translated at their historical rates.

(b) Foreign currency accounts held by the consolidated

subsidiaries are translated into the currency of the
subsidiary at the exchange rate prevailing at the
respective year-ends.

Effective April 1, 2000, consolidated domestic subsidiaries

adopt the revised ‘Accounting Standards for Foreign Currency
Transactions’ (issued by the Business Accounting Deliberation
Council in October 1999). As a result, Income before income
taxes and minority interests for 2001 has decreased compared
with prior accounting method by ¥48 million.

In accordance with the revision of the accounting standard,
the presentation of Foreign currency translation adjustments is
changed from Assets to Stockholders’ equity and Minority interests.
As a result, Assets decreased by ¥32,778 million ($264 million),
Stockholders’ equity decreased by ¥32,171 million ($259 million),
and Minority interests decreased by ¥607 million ($5 million) at
March 31, 2001 compared with prior accounting method.

(14) Lease transactions
Financing leases where the ownership of the property is deemed
to be transferred to the lessee are capitalized, while other financ-
ing leases are allowed to be accounted for in the same manner as
operating leases.

Lease assets are depreciated using the straight-line method

over the lease term with estimated salvage value.

118

Lease-related income is recognized on a straight-line basis
over the full term of the lease, based on the contractual amount of
lease fees per month.

(15) Amounts per share
Net income (loss) per share is computed by deducting dividends
for preferred stock from net income (loss), divided by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock, excluding
treasury stock and parent bank stock held by subsidiaries,
outstanding during each fiscal year.

Declared dividends represent the cash dividends declared
applicable to respective years, including dividends to be paid after
the end of the year.

(16) Reclassifications
Certain prior year’s amounts have been reclassified in conformity
with the 2001 presentation. These changes had no impact on
previously reported results of operations or stockholders’ equity.

(17) New accounting standard for financial instruments
Effective April 1, 2000, a new accounting standard for financial
instruments was adopted in Japan. Accordingly, the valuation
methods of securities and derivatives, excluding those in the trad-
ing portfolio, have been changed, and hedge accounting has been
adopted. As a result, Income before income taxes and minority
interests for 2001 has increased ¥20,738 million ($167 million)
compared with the prior accounting method and Income and
expenses relating to derivative transactions that meet the criteria
for hedge accounting are presented net by account, which repre-
sents a change from the prior accounting that presented net by
transaction. As a result, income and expenses for 2001 have
decreased by ¥493,177 million ($3,980 million) though Income
before income taxes and minority interests did not change.

In addition, certain transactions under resale agreements and
repurchase agreements are considered as financing activities, not
as purchasing or selling activities, and reported in Receivables
under resale agreements and Payables under repurchase agree-
ments. As a result, the amount of Securities increased by
¥1,610,677 million ($13,000 million) at March 31, 2001 com-
pared with the prior treatment as purchasing or selling activities.

Guarantees and standby letters of credit are conditional com-
mitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a
customer to a third party. The Bank is obliged to pay the third
party upon presentation of a claim that meets the conditions of the
commitment. The Bank also issues letters of credit for import

transactions in international operations. These contingent liabilities

17. Land Revaluation Excess
Pursuant to the Enforcement Ordinance for the Law concerning
land revaluation (the “Law”), effective March 31, 1998, the Bank
and one of its domestic banking subsidiaries recorded their own
land at fair value at March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999,
respectively. According to the Law, net unrealized gains are
reported in a separate component of stockholders’ equity net of
applicable income taxes as Land revaluation excess, and the

18. Minority Interests
SB Treasury Company, L.L.C., a subsidiary of the Bank, issued
noncumulative preferred securities, totaling $1.8 billion in February
1998. SB Equity Securities (Cayman), Limited, a subsidiary of the
Bank, issued floating noncumulative preferred securities, totaling

19. Stockholders’ Equity
Under the Banking Law of Japan, the Bank is required to appropri-
ate as an earned surplus reserve an amount equal to at least 20
percent of cash disbursements in each period until the earned sur-
plus reserve equals 100 percent of the common stock. The capital

related deferred tax liabilities are reported in liabilities as deferred
tax liabilities for land revaluation. According to the Law, the Bank
is not permitted to revalue the land at any time, even if the fair
value of the land declines. Such unrecorded revaluation losses at
March 31, 2001 and 2000, were ¥72,126 million ($582 million)
and ¥56,692 million, respectively.

¥340 billion in March 1999. Both subsidiaries are consolidated
and the preferred securities are accounted for as minority
interests.

surplus and earned surplus reserve are not available for distribu-
tion as dividends but may be used to reduce a deficit by resolution
of the stockholders or may be capitalized by resolution of the
Board of Directors.

123

In accordance with a disclosure requirement effective from
the year ended March 31, 1999, the earned surplus reserve is
included in retained earnings.

The Commercial Code of Japan provides that at least one half

of the proceeds from shares issued at prices in excess of par
value be included in common stock. In conformity therewith, the
Bank has divided the paid-in amount of the stock issued upon con-
version of bonds and notes into common stock equally between
common stock and capital surplus.

In accordance with the Law concerning Emergency Measures

for the Early Strengthening of the Functions of the Financial
System, the Bank issued a series of noncumulative preferred

stock in the aggregate amount of ¥501 billion (the first issuance
of 67 million shares at ¥201 billion and the second issuance of
100 million shares at ¥300 billion). All of the preferred stocks
were subscribed by The Resolution and Collection Bank, Limited,
on March 30, 1999. The noncumulative preferred stocks are
redeemable at the option of the Bank at any time. The initial ¥201
billion in Preferred stock is convertible into common stock of the
Bank at any time from May 1, 2002 until February 26, 2009, while
the subsequent ¥300 billion in Preferred stock is convertible into
common stock of the Bank at any time from August 1, 2005 until
February 26, 2009, in each case subject to certain adjustments to
the conversion period.

26. Income Taxes
Effective April 1, 1998, a new accounting standard for income
taxes accounting was adopted in Japan. According to this new
standard, income taxes consist of current and deferred
corporation, inhabitant and enterprise taxes.

On March 30, 2000, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government

passed and established the Special Ordinance Concerning
Taxation Standards for Enterprise Taxes in Relation to Banks in the
Tokyo Metropolis (Tokyo Metropolitan Ordinance 145 of April 1,
2000). The measure has changed the effective statutory tax rate
used by the Bank to calculate deferred tax assets and liabilities
from 41.98% in the year ended March 31, 1999, to 39.83%.

As a result of this change, deferred tax assets decreased by
¥34,218 million at March 31, 2000, and an equivalent increased
income taxes deferred for the year ended March 31, 2000.
Further, as deferred tax liabilities for land revaluation decreased
by ¥5,980 million due to this change, land revaluation excess
increased by the same amount.

On June 9, 2000, the Osaka Prefecture Government promul-
gated the Special Ordinance Concerning Taxation Standards for
Enterprise Taxes in Relation to Banks in Osaka Prefecture (Osaka
Prefectural Ordinance 131 of June 9, 2000), which applies in

business years starting on or after April 1, 2001. The effect of
this measure is to change the effective statutory tax rate used by
the Bank to calculate deferred tax assets and liabilities from
39.83% to 38.05%.

As a result of this change, deferred tax assets decreased by
¥24,802 million ($200 million) at March 31, 2001, and an equiva-
lent increased in income taxes deferred for the year ended March
31, 2001. Further, as deferred tax liabilities for land revaluation
decreased by ¥4,795 million ($39 million) due to this change, land
revaluation excess increased by the same amount at March 31,
2001.

Enterprise taxes other than those relating to income are
included in Other expenses. Effective April 1, 2000, the Special
Ordinance Concerning Taxation Standard for Enterprise Taxes in
Relation to Banks in the Tokyo Metropolis (Tokyo Metropolis
Ordinance 145 of April 1, 2000) was enacted, and the enterprise
taxes in Tokyo, which were included in Income taxes current for
prior periods, are included in Other expenses by the amount of
¥8,100 million ($65 million) for the year ended March 31, 2001.

126

Significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities at March 31, 2001 and 2000, were as follows:

Deferred tax assets:

Reserve for possible loan losses
Write-off of loans
Net operating loss carryforwards
Reserve for possible losses on loans sold
Other

Subtotal
Valuation allowance

Total deferred tax assets

Deferred tax liabilities:

27. Employee Retirement Benefit
(1) Outline of retirement benefit
The Bank and consolidated subsidiaries in Japan have contributory
funded defined benefit pension plans such as contributory pension
plans, qualified pension plans and lump-sum severance indemnity
plans. They may grant additional benefits in cases where certain
requirements are met when employees retire.

Depreciation expense for the years ended March 31, 2001
and 2000, amounted to ¥265,216 million ($2,141 million) and
¥270,809 million, respectively. Depreciation is calculated using
the straight-line method over the lease term of the respective
assets without salvage values.

The difference between the minimum lease payments receiv-
able and the acquisition costs of the lease assets represents inter-
est income. The allocation of such interest income over the lease
term is computed using the effective interest method. Interest
income for the years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, were
¥63,694 million ($514 million) and ¥63,593 million, respectively.

29. Loan Commitments
Commitment line contracts on overdrafts and loans are agree-
ments to lend to customers when they apply for borrowing, to a
prescribed amount, as long as there is no violation of any condi-
tion established in the contracts. The amount of unused commit-
ments was ¥17,349,040 million ($140,025 million), and the
amount of unused commitments whose original contract terms
are within one year or unconditionally cancellable at any time was
¥15,538,193 million ($125,409 million) at March 31, 2001.
Since many of these commitments are expected to expire without
being drawn upon, the total amount of unused commitments does
not necessarily represent actual future cash flow requirements.

Many of these commitments have clauses that the Bank and con-
solidated subsidiaries can reject an application from customers or
reduce the contract amounts in case economic conditions are
changed, the Bank and consolidated subsidiaries need to secure
claims or other events occur. In addition, the Bank and its consoli-
dated subsidiaries request the customers to pledge collateral
such as premises and securities at the conclusion of the con-
tracts, and take necessary measures such as grasping custom-
ers’ financial positions, revising contracts when need arises and
securing claims after the conclusion of the contracts.

30. Market Value of Marketable Securities

Notes: 1. The business segmentation is determined based on the Bank’s internal administrative purposes.
2. “Other” includes securities, credit card, investment banking, loans and venture capital etc.
3. Impact on application of new accounting standards is as follows:

(a) Accounting standard for employee retirement benefit

As shown in Notes to consolidated financial statements, accounting standard for retirement benefits was applied from the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2001. Consequently, operating profit increased by ¥10,533 million ($85 million) in banking business, decreased by ¥62 million
($1 million) in leasing, and decreased by ¥110 million ($1 million) in other for 2001 compared with prior accounting method.

(b) Accounting standard for financial instruments

As shown in Notes to consolidated financial statements, accounting standard for financial instruments was applied from the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2001, and the method to evaluate securities and derivatives and the method of hedge accounting were changed. Consequently,
operating profit increased by ¥21,019 million ($170 million) in banking business, decreased by ¥161 million ($1 million) in leasing and by
¥119 million ($1 million) in other for 2001 compared with prior accounting method.
Effective April 1, 2000, income and expenses relating to derivative transactions that met the criteria for hedge accounting were presented
net by account, which was changed from prior accounting that presented net by transaction. As a result, operating income and expenses

150

decreased by ¥475,321 million ($3,836 million) in banking business, by ¥5,864 million ($47 million) in leasing, and by ¥11,993 million ($97
million) in other for 2001 compared with prior accounting method.

(c) Accounting standard for foreign currency transactions

As shown in Notes to consolidated financial statements, domestic consolidated subsidiaries (excluding a domestic banking subsidiary)
applied the revised accounting standard for foreign currency transactions from 2001. Consequently, operating profit decreased by ¥40
million in leasing and by ¥7 million in other for 2001 compared with prior accounting method.

(d) Taxation standard for enterprise tax

As shown in Notes to consolidated financial statements, enterprise tax other than relating to pre-tax income was included in operating
expenses.  Effective April 1, 2000, the Special ordinance concerning taxation standard for enterprise taxes in relation to banks in the Tokyo

Notes: 1. The geographic segmentation is decided based on the degrees of following factors: geographic proximity, similarity of economic activities and

relationship of business activities among regions.

2. The Americas includes the United States, Brazil and others; Europe includes the United Kingdom, France and others; Asia and Oceania includes

Hong Kong, Singapore and others except Japan.

3. (a) Accounting standard for employee retirement benefit

As shown in Notes to consolidated financial statements, accounting standard for retirement benefits was applied from the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2001. Consequently, operating profit increased by ¥10,360 million ($84 million) in Japan for 2001 compared with prior
accounting method.

(b) Accounting standard for financial instruments

As shown in Notes to consolidated financial statements, accounting standard for financial instruments was applied from the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2001, and the method to evaluate securities and derivatives and the method of hedge accounting were changed. Consequently,
operating profit increased by ¥22,556 million ($182 million) in Japan, by ¥3,304 million ($27 million) in the Americas, and by ¥731 million
($6 million) in Asia and Oceania and decreased by ¥5,853 million ($47 million) in Europe, for 2001 compared with prior accounting method.
Effective April 1, 2000, income and expenses relating to derivative transactions that meet the criteria for hedge accounting are presented
net by account, which has been changed from prior accounting that presented net by transaction. As a result, operating income and
expenses decreased by ¥220,611 million ($1,781 million) in Japan, by ¥134,827 million ($1,088 million) in the Americas, by ¥58,364 million
($471 million) in Europe, and by ¥79,374 million ($641 million) in Asia and Oceania for 2001 compared with the prior accounting method.

(c) Accounting standard for foreign currency transactions

As shown in Notes to consolidated financial statements, domestic consolidated subsidiaries (excluding a domestic banking subsidiary)
applied the revised accounting standard for foreign currency transactions from 2001. Consequently, operating profit decreased by ¥48
million in Japan for 2001 compared with prior accounting method.

(d) Taxation standard for enterprise tax

As shown in Notes to consolidated financial statements, enterprise tax other than relating to pre-tax income was included in operating
expenses. Effective April 1, 2000, the Special ordinance concerning taxation standard for enterprise taxes in relation to banks in the Tokyo
Metropolis (Tokyo Metropolis Ordinance 145 of April 1, 2000) was enacted, and the enterprise tax in Tokyo, which was not included in
operating expenses for prior period, was included in operating expenses in Japan by the amount of ¥8,100 million ($65 million) for 2001.
4. Operating income represents total income excluding gains on disposition of premises and equipment, recoveries of written-off claims, gain on

sale of business operation and reversals of other reserves.
Operating expenses represent total expenses excluding losses on disposition of premises and equipment, amortized cost of unrecognized net
transition obligation for employee retirement benefit and other extraordinary expenses.

Report of Independent Public Accountants

To The Board of Directors of

Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (formerly The

Sumitomo Bank, Limited) and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of

income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2001, expressed in

Japanese yen. Our audits were made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Japan and, accordingly,

included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the

circumstances.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly the consolidated financial position of

Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated results of their

operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting

principles generally accepted in Japan applied on a consistent basis during the periods, except as noted in the following

paragraph.

As explained in Note 2, effective April 1, 2000, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation and subsidiaries prospectively adopted

new Japanese accounting standards for employees’ severance and retirement benefits, financial instruments and foreign

currency translation.

Also, in our opinion, the U.S. dollar amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated from

Japanese yen on the basis set forth in Note 1.

As explained in Note 33 (2), The Sumitomo Bank, Limited merged with The Sakura Bank, Limited on April 1, 2001.

Tokyo, Japan

Statement on Accounting Principles and Auditing Standards
This statement is to remind users that accounting principles and auditing standards and their application in practice may vary among nations
and therefore could affect, possibly materially, the reported financial position and results of operations.  The accompanying financial state-
ments are prepared based on accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, and the auditing standards and their application in practice
are those generally accepted in Japan. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the auditors’ report presented
above are for users familiar with Japanese accounting principles, auditing standards and their application in practice.

156

Summary of Significant Differences Between Japanese GAAP and U.S. GAAP

The consolidated financial statements of the Bank and its consolidated subsidiaries presented in this annual report conform with Japanese
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Such principles vary from U.S. GAAP in the following significant respects.

Japanese GAAP

U.S. GAAP

Consolidated subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements include all enterprises that
are controlled by the parent, irrespective of the percentage of the
voting shares owned.

Accounting for sales of loans with recourse

Under Japanese GAAP, certain loan participations which meet
specified criteria are allowed to be recorded as sales.

Accounting for derivatives and hedging activities

Under the new Japanese GAAP effective April 1, 2000, derivative
instruments are carried at fair value with changes included in the
current period income unless certain hedge accounting criteria
are met. In general, if derivative instruments are used as hedges
and meet certain hedging criteria, a company defers recognition
of gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value of deriva-
tive instruments as either an asset or liability until the related
losses or gains on the hedged items are recognized.

Securities

Under the new Japanese GAAP effective April 1, 2000, debt secu-
rities that the Bank has the intent and ability to hold to maturity
(held-to-maturity securities) are carried at amortized cost. Trading
securities are carried at market value with gains or losses in-
cluded in the current period income. Other securities (available-
for-sale securities) can be carried at cost (effective April 1, 2001,
other securities should be carried at fair value with unrealized
gains or losses recorded directly to equity, net of taxes).

Loan fees

Loan origination fees are recognized when income is received.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 94
requires, with a few exceptions, a parent company to consolidate
all of its majority-owned subsidiaries with more than 50% of
outstanding voting shares.

SFAS No. 140 specifies that sale of assets such as loans refers
to an outright sale with legal title passing to the purchaser. A
transfer of assets qualifying as a sale with recourse under SFAS
No. 140 would result in the recording of an estimated liability.

Derivative instruments are currently classified into trading and
hedging instruments. Derivative instruments for a trading purpose
and a hedging purpose are recorded at fair value and on an
accrual basis, respectively. Under SFAS No. 133 and No. 137
effective all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, derivative
instruments are recorded at fair value with changes recognized
currently in earnings unless precise hedge accounting criteria are
met.

Under SFAS No. 115, debt securities intended to be held to matu-
rity are carried at amortized cost. Equity securities and debt
securities available for sale are carried at fair values with unreal-
ized gains and losses reported as comprehensive income in the
stockholders’ equity section. Trading securities are carried at
market value with gains and losses included in the current period
income.

Loan origination fees are deferred and recognized over the life of
the loan.

Accrued interest on non-performing loans

The Bank places into the nonaccrual status the loans which
management assessed as “Bankrupt” and “Effectively Bankrupt”
and “Potentially Bankrupt.”

Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when they
become 90 days past due or when they are deemed uncollectible
based on management’s assessment.

157

Restructured loans

Discounted present value is not used to measure impairment of
a loan. Reserve for restructured loans is computed based on
historical loss experience.

Earned surplus reserve

An amount equivalent to at least 20% of cash disbursements,
such as dividend distribution, must be appropriated as earned
surplus reserve in the retained earnings.

Leases

Unless transfer of ownership occurs, financing leases may be
accounted for as operating leases accompanied with sufficient
footnote disclosure.

Land revaluation excess

Land which had been recorded at cost was revalued at fair value.
The resulting gains were recorded in land revaluation excess in
the stockholders’ equity section.

Guarantees

Guarantees, including standby letters of credit and the related
reimbursement obligations of customers, are included on the face
of the financial statements and assets of equal amounts.

Directors’ bonuses

Directors’ bonuses are charged directly to earned surplus.

Comprehensive income

Reporting of other comprehensive income not included in net
income is not required.

SFAS No. 114 requires that impaired loans be measured based
on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at
the loan’s effective interest rate or, as is practically expedient, at
the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the

Notes: 1. Domestic operations refers to the operations of the Bank (except for overseas branches) and its consolidated subsidiaries within Japan.

Overseas operations refers to the operations of the overseas branches of the Bank and its consolidated subsidiaries with a head office located
overseas.

2. Interest expenses are shown after deduction of an amount equivalent to interest expenses on money held in trust (2001, ¥130 million; 2000,

¥1,631 million).

3. As for interest income and interest expenses, internal transactions between domestic operations and overseas operations are shown in the

elimination column. As for fees and commissions (income) (expenses), trading profits and trading losses, and other operating income and other
operating expenses, internal transactions between domestic operations and overseas operations are excluded.

4. Due to application of the new accounting standard, interest income and interest expenses relating to derivative transactions that meet the

criteria for hedge accounting are presented net by account, which has been changed from prior accounting that presented net by transaction.
As a result, interest income and interest expenses for the year ended March 31, 2001 have decreased by ¥155,585 million, respectively.

of amounts equivalent to the average balance of money held in trust (2001, ¥6,109 million; 2000, ¥7,255 million) and corresponding interest
(2001, ¥317 million; 2000, ¥475 million).

2. Figures in brackets indicate the amounts resulting from lending and borrowing activities between domestic and international operations. In addi-
tion, the figures for 2001 in brackets include effect of an application of a new accounting standard on financial instruments, effective April 1,
2000, which requires that income and expenses on derivatives for hedge be presented by net method instead of gross method.

3. The average balance of foreign currency denominated transactions by domestic branches in international operations is calculated by the monthly

current method (under which the TT middle rate at the end of the previous month is applied to non-exchange transactions of the month
concerned).

Notes: 1. Volume/rate variance is prorated according to changes in volume and rate.

2. Effect of a change in accounting standard is due to an application of a new accounting standard on financial instruments, effective April 1, 2000,

which requires that income and expenses on derivatives for hedge be presented by net method instead of gross method.

3. Each figure for 2001 in the columns of volume-related increase/decrease as well as rate-related increase/decrease does not include effect of a

change in accounting standard.
