II. Principles and Management

1. Management Policy

SMFG's group-wide management philosophy is as follows:

- To provide optimum added value to our customers and together with them achieve
growth

- To create sustainable shareholder value through business growth

- To provide a challenging and professionally rewarding work environment for our
dedicated employees

In line with this philosophy, SMFG's management policy is to strengthen the
Group's earnings power, to fortify its financial base, and to raise its net
worth.

2. Dividend Policy

SMFG subscribes to a fundamental policy of distributing appropriate dividends
while enhancing its Group's capital to maintain sound financial position.

3. Management Index to be Achieved

SMFG, while maintaining its BIS capital ratio of over 10%, will buildup its
retained earnings for early repayment of its public funds by enhancing its
profitability.

4. Mid- to Long-term Management Strategy

SMFG has been accelerating its effort to improve SMBC's asset quality in order
to achieve the goal of halving the non-performing loan ("NPL") ratio before the
end of FY2004. It has been proactively slashing cross-shareholdings, and
reducing NPLs by "off-balancing" and improving clients' financial performance.

Moreover, SMFG has been rationalizing its management system based on the
following policy for strengthening its earnings power:

- To expand business scale by grasping clients' unmet needs, and filling such
needs with high-quality services built on the group-wide capability

- To raise capital efficiency by improving the risk-return profile of businesses
and allocating resources to profitable areas

- To strengthen cost efficiency through thorough implementation of low-cost
operation

Anchored by this policy, SMFG will continue to strengthen its profitability and
steadily build up its retained earnings.

5. Issues to be Addressed

Not satisfied with achieving the full-term NPL balance target of 3.9 trillion
yen in the six-month period ended September 30, 2003, through "off-balancing"
and revitalizing borrowers, SMBC will further reduce NPLs utilizing measures
such as the joint venture for corporate recovery and the loan purchasing fund
established with Goldman Sachs, Daiwa SMBC Principal Investments, and
Development Bank of Japan in November 2003.

--  Cross-shareholdings

FY2003 target for cross-shareholdings is 700 billion yen, but SMBC has already
sold about 80% of this amount in the six-month period ended September 30, 2003.
It will continue its effort to reduce risks from stock-price fluctuation.

--  Profitability

In addition to the various "Business Reform" initiatives, SMBC has implemented
the following to improve profitability:

(a) Corporate banking

SMBC, while further re-examining its domestic lending practices, is working to
expand its lineup of loan products. Just in the six-month period ended September
30, 2003, SMBC exceed the planned origination of 2.3 trillion yen in Business
Select Loan and other new unsecured loan products. It also standardized and
rationalized its credit supervision system. In the six-month period ended March
31, 2004, it will originate more new loan products, increase the volume of loans
with better spreads, and continue to expand solution-providing businesses, such
as loan syndication and investment banking for middle to large corporate
clients, by strengthening cooperation with Daiwa Securities SMBC and through
other measures.

(b) Consumer banking

SMBC will reinforce its prominent competitive advantage in sales of investment
trusts, pension-type insurances and mortgage loans by establishing new business
models such as financial consulting business. FY 2003 targets for investment
trusts, pension-type insurances and mortgage loans are higher than the FY 2002
targets, but SMBC was able to exceed its goals for the six-month period ended
September 30, 2003.

SMFG will put its effort to improve profitability of payment and settlement
services, as well as remote banking.

(c) Expenses

SMBC moved up its goal of establishing a 600-billion-yen-annual-cost structure
one year ahead to FY2003. In the six-month period ended September 30, 2003, it
successfully cut expenses through reduction of personnel cost, etc. and will
continue to take measures such as rationalization of procurement process in the
six-month period ended March 31, 2004.

(d) Group-wide effort

In April 2003, SMBC transferred and integrated its systems-related function to
Japan Research Institute. In November 2003, SMBC and Sumitomo Mitsui Card
launched their cooperatively developed new service for individual customers in
their 20s and 30s, "One's Style". Group companies will continue to collaborate
to reap significant synergies, and through such steadfast initiatives, SMFG
intends to raise the group-wide earnings potential by capitalizing on the
intrinsic strengths of each Group company.

6. Corporate Governance Policy and Structure

SMFG employs a corporate auditor system and three of the five auditors are
outside auditors. Moreover, to enhance the management's transparency and
soundness, SMFG has outside directors.

The Board of Directors consists of eight directors including two outside
directors, and under the Board are three subcommittees to reinforce its
oversight functions: the Risk Management Committee, which considers Group-wide
risk management and compliance, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating
Committee. The two outside directors, one a certified public accountant and the
other a lawyer, are members of all the committees, and the accountant is the
Chairman of the Compensation Committee. This system allows supervision of our
operations to be conducted from a suitably objective perspective.

In addition to the above committees, SMFG has the following committees:

(a) Management Committee

Chaired by the president of SMFG, the committee acts as the top decision-making
body on business administration and management supervision of the entire Group.
The committee, composed of directors chosen by the president, considers
important matters relating to the execution of business, and the president has
the authority to make the final decision after considering the committee's
recommendations.

(b) Group Strategy Committee

The committee serves as a forum for the top management staff of all Group
companies to exchange opinions and information on their respective business
plans.

(c) Compliance Committee

The committee reinforces the Group-wide compliance system, and comprises of the
designated Board member responsible for compliance issues, the heads of
departments involved with compliance matters, and legal advisors from outside
the Group.

III. Operating Results and Financial Position

Amounts for the six months ended September 30, 2002 are those of the former
SMBC.

1. Overview of Consolidated Operating Results and Financial Position as of and
for the Six Months Ended September 30, 2003

(1) Operating Results

SMFG has continued to strengthen profitability through business restructuring
and reduce expenses by pursuing efficiency in the six months ended September 30,
2003.

Interest expenses decreased mainly due to lower interest on deposits, and there
were decreases in other expenses. However, interest income also fell because of
lower interest on loans. Consequently, Ordinary income dropped 0.1%
year-over-year to 1,760.8 billion yen and Ordinary expense dropped 1.1 %
year-over-year to 1,595.3 billion yen.

As a result, Ordinary profit and Net income (after adjusting for extraordinary
gains/losses and other factors) amounted to 165.5 billion yen (up 10.4% from the
previous interim term) and 143.4 billion yen (up 160.2%), respectively.

(2) Assets and Liabilities

Deposits amounted to 63,142.2 billion yen (up 211.2 billion yen from the
previous fiscal year-end) and Negotiable certificates of deposit amounted to
3,379.6 billion yen (down 1,473.4 billion yen).

Loans and bills discounted amounted to 59,666.3 billion yen (down 1,416.5
billion yen).

Total assets amounted to 100,725.5 billion yen (down 3,881.9 billion yen).

(3) Stockholders' Equity

Stockholders' equity increased by 321.4 billion yen from the fiscal year-end to
2,745.4 billion yen due mainly to recording of net income for this interim term
and the increase in Net unrealized gains on other securities.

(4) Cash Flows

SMFG used 1,753.8 billion yen of Cash flows from operating activities, and
generated 1,711.2 billion yen of Cash flows from investing activities and 77.4
billion yen of Cash flows from financing activities.

Consequently, Cash and cash equivalents amounted to 2,934.1 billion yen.

(5) Segments

The breakdown of Ordinary income before the elimination of internal transactions
is as follows:

By business
------------------
  Banking business   69%(down 2 points from the previous interim term)
  Leasing business   17%(up 2 points)
  Other business     14%(up 0 point)

By country
------------------
  Japan              90%(up 6 points from the previous interim term)
  The Americas        5%(down 1 point)
  Europe              3%(down 3 points)
  Asia and Oceania    2%(down 2 points)


(6) Capital Ratio (BIS Guideline) (preliminary)

Capital ratio was 10.94% on a consolidated basis.

2. Earnings and Dividends Forecast for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2004

(1) Earnings Forecast

In fiscal 2003, SMFG will continue to strengthen its financial base by reducing
the balance of non-performing loans through off balancing of problem assets and
revival of debt-ridden companies, and further reducing stockholdings.
Furthermore, SMFG aims to enhance profitability and achieve greater operational
efficiency.

As for earnings forecast on a consolidated basis, Ordinary income, Ordinary
profit and Net income are expected to amount to 3,500 billion yen, 320 billion
yen, and 230 billion yen, respectively. On a non-consolidated basis, Ordinary
income, Ordinary profit and Net income are expected to amount to 55 billion yen,
50 billion yen, and 50 billion yen, respectively.

(2) Dividends Forecast

SMFG will not pay interim dividends on common stock and preferred stock this
fiscal year mainly because of uncertain economic and stock market outlook. SMFG
will pay year-end dividends according to the level of retained earnings, as
follows:

Common stock                                     3,000 yen per share
Preferred stock (type 1)                        10,500 yen per share
Preferred stock (type 2)                        28,500 yen per share
Preferred stock (type 3)                        13,700 yen per share
Preferred stock (1st series to 12th            135,000 yen per share

Notes to Consolidated Interim Balance Sheet

1. Amounts less than one million yen have been omitted.

2. Transactions for trading purposes (seeking gains arising from short-term
changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates, or market prices of
securities and other market related indices or from variation among markets) are
included in "Trading assets" or "Trading liabilities" on the consolidated
interim balance sheet on a contract date basis.

Securities and monetary claims purchased for trading purposes are stated at the
interim term-end market value, and financial derivatives such as swaps, futures
and options are stated at amounts that would be settled if the transactions were
terminated at the consolidated interim balance sheet date.

A consolidated subsidiary, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation ("SMBC") formerly
accounted for foreign currency translation differences arising from currency
swaps for trading purposes as "Other assets" or "Other liabilities" on the
balance sheet on a net basis. From this interim term, SMBC accounts for such
foreign currency differences as "Trading assets" and "Trading liabilities" on a
gross basis, pursuant to the "Treatment of Accounting and Auditing Concerning
Accounting for Foreign Currency Transactions in Banking Industry" (JICPA
Industry Audit Committee Report No.25). Consequently, "Other liabilities"
decreased by 83,790 million yen, and increased "Trading assets" and "Trading
liabilities" by 47,405 million yen and 131,196 million yen, respectively,
compared with the former manner.

3. Held-to-maturity debt securities are debt securities that consolidated
subsidiaries have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, and are
carried at amortized cost (straight-line method) using the moving-average
method.

Investments in non-consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates that are not
accounted for by the equity method are carried at cost using the moving-average
method.

Securities other than trading purpose securities, held-to-maturity debt
securities and investments in non-consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates are
classified as "other securities" (available-for-sale securities). Stocks in
other securities that have market value are carried at the average market prices
during the final month of the interim term, and bonds and others that have
market prices are carried at their interim term-end market prices (cost of
securities sold is calculated using primarily the moving-average method). Other
securities with no available market prices are carried at cost or amortized cost
using the moving-average method. Net unrealized gains (losses) on other
securities, net of income taxes, are included in "Stockholders' equity," after
deducting the amount that is reflected in the interim term's earnings because of
application of fair value hedge accounting.

4. Securities included in "Money held in trust" are carried in the same way as
in Notes 2 and 3.

5. 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 their local accounting
standards.

6. Premises and equipment owned by Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc.
("SMFG") and SMBC are depreciated using the straight-line method for premises
and the declining-balance method for equipment. For the six months ended
September 30, 2003, SMBC calculated the depreciation cost by proportionally
allocating the estimated annual costs to the interim term. The estimated useful
lives of major items are as follows:

Buildings: 7 to 50 years

Equipment: 2 to 20 years

Other consolidated subsidiaries depreciate premises and equipment, and lease
assets primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives
of the respective assets and the straight-line method over the lease term based
on the residual value of assets at the end of the lease term, respectively.

7. Capitalized software for internal use owned by SMFG and its consolidated
domestic subsidiaries is depreciated using the straight-line method over its
estimated useful life (basically five years).

8. SMBC's assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and overseas
branches' accounts are translated into Japanese yen mainly at the exchange rate
prevailing at the consolidated interim balance sheet date, with the exception of
stocks of subsidiaries and affiliates translated at rates prevailing at the time
of acquisition.

As for the accounting method of foreign currency transactions, in the previous
fiscal year, domestic consolidated banking subsidiaries applied the temporary
treatment stipulated in JICPA Industry Audit Committee Report No.25 to currency
swaps and foreign exchange swaps for the purpose of lending or borrowing funds
in different currencies. From this interim term, they apply the hedge accounting
pursuant to the full treatment of JICPA Industry Audit Committee Report No.25.

Consequently, for this interim term, the domestic consolidated banking
subsidiaries valuated such foreign exchange swaps, for which profits or losses
for the term were formerly accounted for, at fair value and included their
fair-valued claims and debts on the consolidated interim balance sheet. As a
result, "Other assets" and "Other liabilities" each increased by 2,846 million
yen as compared with the former manner. On the other hand, this accounting
change had no impact on profit or loss.

Foreign currency translation differences arising from currency swaps and forward
foreign exchange transactions were formerly accounted for as "Other assets" or
"Other liabilities" on a net basis, but from this interim term they are
accounted for as "Other assets" or "Other liabilities" on a gross basis pursuant
to JICPA Industry Audit Committee Report No.25. Consequently, "Other assets" and
"Other liabilities" increased by 737,724 million yen each.

Other consolidated subsidiaries' assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are translated into Japanese yen at the exchange rate prevailing at
their respective balance sheet dates.

9. Reserve for possible loan losses of SMBC and other major consolidated
subsidiaries is provided as detailed below in accordance with the internal
standards for write-offs and reserves.

For claims on borrowers who have entered into bankruptcy, special liquidation
proceedings or similar legal proceedings ("bankrupt borrowers") or borrowers
that are not legally or formally insolvent but are regarded as substantially in
the same situation ("effectively bankrupt borrowers"), a reserve is provided
based on the amount of claims, after the write-off stated below, net of the
expected amount of recoveries from collateral and guarantees.

For claims on borrowers that are not currently bankrupt but are likely to become
bankrupt in the future, a reserve is provided in the amount deemed necessary
based on an overall solvency assessment of the claims, net of the expected
amount of recoveries from collateral and guarantees.

Of the claims on borrowers requiring close monitoring, SMBC applies the
Discounted Cash Flows method ("DCF method") to the claims on borrowers whose all
or some of the loans are classified as "Past due loans (3 months or more)" or
"Restructured loans" and whose total loans exceed a certain amount. SMBC
establishes reserve for possible loan losses using the DCF method for such
claims in the amount of the differences between their present values of
principals and interests (calculated by discounting the rationally estimated
cash flows at the initial contractual using the interest rate) and their book
values.

For other claims, a reserve is provided based on the historical loan-loss ratio.

For claims originated in specific countries, an additional reserve is provided
for by the amount deemed necessary based on the assessment of political and
economic conditions.

Branches and credit supervision departments assess all claims in accordance with
the internal rule for self-assessment of assets, and the Credit Review
Department, independent from these operating sections, audits their assessment.
The reserves are provided based on the results of these assessments.

Reserve for possible loan losses of other consolidated subsidiaries for general
claims is provided in the amount deemed necessary based on the historical
loan-loss ratio, and for doubtful claims in the amount deemed uncollectible
based on assessment of each claim.

For collateralized or guaranteed claims on bankrupt borrowers and effectively
bankrupt borrowers, the amount exceeding the estimated value of collateral and
guarantees is deemed to be uncollectible and charged off against the total
outstanding amount of the claims. The amount of write-off was 1,693,302 million
yen.

10. Reserve for employee bonuses is provided, in provision for payment of
bonuses to employees, by the amount of estimated bonuses, which are attributable
to this interim term.

11. Reserve for employee retirement benefits is provided, in provision for
payment of retirement benefits to employees, by the amount deemed accrued at
interim term-end, based on the projected retirement benefit obligation and fair
value of plan assets at the fiscal year-end.

Prior service cost is amortized using the straight-line method over primarily 10
years within the employees' average remaining service period at incurrence.

Unrecognized net actuarial gain (loss) is amortized using the straight-line
method over primarily 10 years within the employees' average remaining service
period, commencing from the next fiscal year of incurrence.

Unrecognized net transition obligation from initial application of the new
accounting standard for employee retirement benefits is amortized using the
straight-line method over five years and is charged 50% of the annual amortized
cost to its income for the six months ended September 30, 2003.

12. Reserve for possible losses on loans sold is provided for contingent losses
arising from decline of market value of underlying collateral for loans sold to
the Cooperative Credit Purchasing Company, Limited. This reserve is provided in
accordance with Article 43 of the Ordinance of the Commercial Code.

13. Financing leases of SMFG and its consolidated domestic subsidiaries,
excluding those in which the ownership of the property is transferred to the
lessee, are accounted for in the same manner as operating leases.

14. As for the hedge accounting method applied to hedging transactions for
interest rate risk arising from financial assets and liabilities, SMBC applies
deferred hedge accounting or fair value hedge accounting.

In the previous year, SMBC applied the temporary treatment stipulated in the
"Treatment for Accounting and Auditing of Application of Accounting Standard for
Financial Instruments in Banking Industry" (JICPA Industry Audit Committee
Report No.24) to the "macro hedge," which is management of interest rate risk
arising from huge transactions in loans, deposits and other interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities as a whole using derivatives. From this
interim term, SMBC applies the full treatment of JICPA Industry Audit Committee
Report No.24 to hedges on groups of large-volume, small-value monetary claims
and debts with similar risk characteristics. SMBC assesses the effectiveness of
such hedge for offsetting changes in interest rate, by classifying the hedged
items (such as deposits and loans) and the hedging instruments (such as interest
rate swaps) by their maturity. SMBC assesses the effectiveness of such hedges
for fixing cash flows by verifying the correlation between the hedged items and
the hedging instruments. SMBC also assesses the effectiveness of individual
hedges.

As a result of changing the designation of hedge relationship pursuant to JICPA
Industry Audit Committee Report No.24, SMBC applies fair value hedge accounting
to hedging transactions for reducing the exposure to market volatility of bonds
classified as other securities that are held for the purpose of Asset and
Liability Management in order to more properly reflect the effectiveness of
hedging transactions in the financial statements. Consequently, "Other assets"
and "Net unrealized gains on other securities" decreased by 21,462 million yen
and 13,521 million yen, respectively and "Deferred tax assets" increased by
8,507 million yen, compared with the former manner.

Of the deferred hedge losses and gains on macro hedge, the amounts related to
hedging instruments to which SMBC discontinued applying hedge accounting or
applied fair value hedge accounting as a result of the change mentioned above
are allocated to "Interest income" or "Interest expenses" over a 12-year period
(maximum) from this interim term according to their maturity. Gross amounts of
deferred hedge losses and gains on "macro hedge" are 422,999 million yen and
410,931 million yen, respectively.

Other certain consolidated subsidiaries use the deferred hedge accounting or the
special treatment for interest rate swaps. A consolidated domestic subsidiary (a
leasing company) partly applies the accounting method that is permitted by 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.

15. SMBC applies deferred hedge accounting stipulated in the full treatment of
JICPA Industry Audit Committee Report No.25 to currency swap and foreign
exchange swap transactions executed for the purpose of lending or borrowing
funds in different currencies.

Pursuant to JICPA Industry Audit Committee Report No.25, SMBC assesses the
effectiveness of currency swap and foreign exchange swap transactions executed
for the purpose of offsetting the risk of changes in currency exchange rates by
verifying that there are foreign-currency monetary claims and debts
corresponding to the foreign-currency positions.

In order to hedge risk arising from volatility of exchange rates for stocks of
subsidiaries and affiliates and other securities (excluding bonds) denominated
in foreign currency, SMBC applies deferred hedge accounting or fair value hedge
accounting, on the conditions that the hedged security is designated in advance
and that enough on-balance (actual) or off-balance (forward) liability exposure
exists to cover the cost of the hedged security in foreign currency base.

16. As for derivative transactions between consolidated subsidiaries or internal
transactions between trading accounts and other accounts (or among internal
sections), SMBC manages the interest rate swaps and currency swaps that are
designated as hedging instruments in accordance with the strict criteria for
external transactions stipulated in JICPA Industry Audit Committee Report No.24
and No.25. Therefore, SMBC accounts for the gains or losses that arise from
interest rate swaps and currency swaps in its earnings or defers them, rather
than eliminating them.

17. National and local consumption taxes of SMFG and its consolidated domestic
subsidiaries are accounted for using the tax-excluded method.

18. SMBC accounts for the exhibition expenses related to "The 2005 World
Exposition, Aichi, Japan" that will be held in Aichi Prefecture in 2005 as
"Reserve for exhibition at World Exposition." This reserve is stipulated in the
Article 43 of the Ordinance of the Commercial Code and includes the reserve that
is stipulated in Article 57-2 of the Specific Taxation Measures Law.

19. Other reserves required by special laws are reserve for contingent
liabilities from financial futures transaction (18 million yen) in accordance
with Article 82 of the Financial Futures Transaction Law, and reserve for
contingent liabilities from securities transaction (513 million yen) in
accordance with Article 51 of the Securities Exchange Law.

20. Accumulated depreciation on premises and equipment and accumulated
depreciation on lease assets were 604,089 million yen and 1,508,565 million yen,
respectively.

21. Bankrupt loans and non-accrual loans were 179,497 million yen and 2,287,238
million yen, respectively. These amounts include trust with The Resolution and
Collection Corporation, a measure regarded as off-balancing, of 38,941 million
yen.

"Bankrupt loans" are loans on which consolidated subsidiaries do not currently
accrue interest income, as substantial doubt is judged to exist as to the
ultimate collectability of either principal or interest as they are past due for
a considerable period of time or for other reasons, and meet conditions defined
in Article 96-1-3 and 96-1-4 of the Enforcement Ordinance No.97 of the Japanese
Corporate Tax Law, issued in 1965. "Non-accrual loans" are loans on which
consolidated subsidiaries do not currently accrue interest income, excluding
bankrupt loans and loans for which consolidated subsidiaries are forbearing
interest payments to support the borrowers' recovery from financial
difficulties.

22. Past due loans (3 months or more) totaled 101,630 million yen.

Past due loans (3 months or more) are loans other than "Bankrupt loans" and
"Non-accrual loans" on which the principal or interest is past due for three
months or more.

23. Restructured loans totaled 1,853,890 million yen.

Restructured loans are loans other than "Bankrupt loans," "Non-accrual loans"
and "Past due loans (3 months or more)" for which consolidated subsidiaries have
relaxed lending terms, such as reduction of the original interest rate,
forbearance of interest payments or principal repayments or has made agreements
in favor of borrowers such as debt forgiveness, to support the borrowers'
recovery from financial difficulties.

24. The total amount of bankrupt loans, non-accrual loans, past due loans (3
months or more) and restructured loans was 4,422,255 million yen. This amount
includes trust with The Resolution and Collection Corporation, a measure
regarded as off-balancing, of 38,941 million yen.

The amounts of loans presented in Notes 21 to 24 are amounts before deduction of
reserve for possible loan losses.

25. Bills discounted are accounted for as financial transactions in accordance
with JICPA Industry Audit Committee Report No.24. SMFG's banking subsidiaries
have rights to sell or pledge bank acceptance bought, commercial bills
discounted, documentary bills and foreign exchanges bought without restrictions.
The total face value was 966,761 million yen.

yen, and other assets include initial margins of futures markets of 7,036
million yen.

27. Net amount of deferred unrealized gains (losses) on hedging instruments to
which deferred hedge accounting is applied is reported as deferred loss on hedge
and are included in "Other assets." Gross deferred unrealized losses and gross
deferred unrealized gains on hedging instruments were 1,735,996 million yen and
1,609,388 million yen, respectively.

28. SMBC revaluated its own land for business activities in accordance with the
"Law Concerning Land Revaluation" (the "Law") effective March 31, 1998 and the
law concerning amendment of the Law effective March 31, 2001. The income taxes
corresponding to the net unrealized gains are deferred and reported in
"Liabilities" as "Deferred tax liabilities for land revaluation," and the net
unrealized gains, net of deferred taxes, are reported as "Land revaluation
excess" in "Stockholders' equity."

Certain consolidated subsidiaries revaluated their own land for business
activities in accordance with the Law. The income taxes corresponding to the net
unrealized gains (losses) are deferred and reported in "Liabilities" or "Assets"
as "Deferred tax liabilities for land revaluation" or "Deferred tax assets for
land revaluation," and the net unrealized gains (losses), net of deferred taxes,
are reported as "Land revaluation excess" in "Stockholders' equity."

Other securities with market value are considered as impaired if the market
value decreases significantly below the acquisition cost and such decline is not
considered as recoverable. The market value is recognized as the consolidated
interim balance sheet amount and the amount of write-down is accounted for as
valuation loss (impaired) for this interim term. Valuation loss for this interim
term was 530 million yen. The rule for determining "significant decline" is as
follows and is based on the classification of issuing company under
self-assessment of assets.

Bankrupt/ Effectively bankrupt/ Potentially  Market value is lower than acquisition cost.
 bankrupt issuers:
Issuers requiring caution:                   Market value is 30% or more lower than
                                              acquisition cost.
Normal issuers:                              Market value is 50% or more lower than
                                              acquisition cost.



Bankrupt issuers: issuers that are legally bankrupt or formally declared bankrupt
Effectively bankrupt issuers: issuers that are not legally bankrupt but regarded as
 substantially bankrupt
Potentially bankrupt issuers: issuers that are not bankrupt now, but are perceived to have a
 high risk of falling into bankruptcy
Issuers requiring caution: issuers that are identified for close monitoring
Normal issuers: issuers other than the above four categories of issuers

Accounting Committee Report No.14). According to this change of classification,
"Securities" increased by 66 million yen and "Deferred tax assets" decreased by
26 million yen, and "Minority interests" and "Net unrealized gains on other
securities" increased by 36 million yen and 2 million yen, respectively,
compared with the former classification of bonds.

Net unrealized losses of 9 million yen (after the deduction of 6 million yen in
deferred tax assets from the above 16 million yen in net unrealized losses) are
included in "Net unrealized gains on other securities."

39. "Japanese Government Bonds" as a sub-account of "Securities" include 6,002
million yen of unsecured loaned securities for which borrowers have the rights
to sell or pledge and loaned securities of 119 million yen for which borrowers
only have the rights to pledge and not to sell.

As for the unsecured borrowed securities for which SMBC has the rights to sell
or pledge and the securities which SMBC purchased under resale agreements, that
are permitted to sell or pledge without restrictions, 654,394 million yen of
securities are pledged, 136,090 million yen of securities are held in hand as of
the consolidated interim balance sheet date.

40. Commitment line contracts on overdrafts and loans are agreements to lend to
customers when they apply for borrowing, to a prescribed amount, as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the contracts. The amount
of unused commitments was 29,801,082 million yen, and the amount of unused
commitments whose original contract terms are within one year or unconditionally
cancelable at any time was 27,261,498 million yen. 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 SMBC and other
consolidated subsidiaries can reject an application from customers or reduce the
contract amounts in case economic conditions are changed, SMBC and other
consolidated subsidiaries need to secure claims or other events occur. In
addition, SMBC and other 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 customers' financial
positions, revising contracts when need arises and securing claims after the
conclusion of the contracts.
