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

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

* Unrealized Gains/Losses include ¥20,910 million and ¥27,448 million, which were recognized in the statement of income (aggregate figures for the 2 banks) for September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively, by applying the fair-value hedge accounting. As a result, the base amounts to be recorded directly to Net Assets after necessary adjustments (aggregate figures for the 2 banks) as of September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022 are ¥45,054 million and ¥892,494 million, respectively.

* Other Securities mainly including Foreign Bonds are hedged by using derivative instruments, which apply the deferred method of hedge accounting. Deferred Hedge Gains/Losses before tax adjustment (aggregate figures for the 2 banks) as of September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022 are ¥458,060 million (Foreign Bonds ¥475,460 million and Japanese Government Bonds ¥(4,323) million) and ¥126,280 million (Foreign Bonds ¥135,310 million and Japanese Government Bonds ¥—million), respectively. Unrealized Gains/Losses applying deferred hedging accounting among hedging instruments (aggregate figures for the 2 banks) as of September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022 are ¥524,025 million (Foreign Bonds ¥(606,932) million and Japanese Government Bonds ¥(33,264) million) and ¥1,046,223 million (Foreign Bonds ¥(279,511) million and Japanese Government Bonds ¥(30,545) million), respectively.

* Unrealized Gains/Losses on Other Securities, net of Taxes (recorded directly to Net Assets after tax adjustment, excluding the amount recognized in the statement of income by applying the fair-value hedge accounting including translation differences and others regarding stocks and others without a quoted market price and Investments in Partnerships) as of September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022 are as follows.
