Innovative Action
Our Mission as a Regional Bank
Since its establishment in 1899, the Fukui Bank, Ltd. (“the Bank”) has remained firmly committed to sound management andgrowth in partnership with the regional community. The Bank owes its position today to the loyal support of its customers,
shareholders, and other stakeholders.
In 2015, we established the Bank’s corporate philosophy of striving to cultivate and promote regional industry and achieving
prosperous living conditions for the region’s population, and have been working together as the Fukui Bank Group for theadvancement of the region.
Moreover, in October 2021, with the aim of sustainable development for the region, we took the first step toward a newchallenge and formed the F Project, a united financial group, with THE FUKUHO BANK, LTD. (“the Fukuho Bank”) which is also
based here in Fukui Prefecture. Recently, we outlined a vision for where we want the F Project to be in ten years’ time—The F
Project Vision for 2032—which states that we will be there for our employees and customers and their diverse challenges
through model that brings about a value loop for the region. There are always threats and opportunities present in our businessenvironment so to overcome the former, and seize the latter, we must make full use of the strengths we have built up thus far,and be there for the varied challenges to come. We will also help to create a future where value generated within the region canbe funneled back into the region in a value loop.
Together, all employees and executive officers of the Fukui Bank Group will keep striving to fulfill the expectations of ourshareholders, customers, and members of the regional community. To this end, we would like to request your continued support
and patronage.

Corporate Governance
In June 2007, the Fukui Bank transitioned to a committee-based governance structure (nominating and other committees are
now in place). Characteristics of this organizational structure include strengthened governance structures through the separationof executive and supervisory functions, accelerated executive functions by delegating decision-making authority, and improved
management transparency by establishing three committees on which the majority of members are outside directors. As well as
having outside directors chair even those three committees, we are working to put in place comprehensive corporate
governance in line with the following fundamental principles.
(1) T he Fukui Bank will respect the rights held by all of its shareholders and will work to guarantee all shareholders are treatedequally.
(2) The Fukui Bank will pay consideration to how to benefit all of its stakeholders, including its shareholders, and, where
relevant, will strive to cooperate with said stakeholders.
(3) T he Fukui Bank will disclose all relevant information, including non-financial data, and will endeavor to guarantee corporate
information is transparent.
(4) The Fukui Bank will construct a system in which independent outside directors play a central role and, by utilizing thatsystem, will commit ourselves to improving the efficacy of our auditing capabilities in regards to overseeing the executionof duties by the board of directors.
(5) T he Fukui Bank, in order to increase corporate value in the medium to long term, and to achieve sustainable growth, will
undertake to carry out constructive dialogue with all of its shareholders.
The Bank will continue to further strengthen its corporate governance structure and provide a wide range of products andservices. This will allow it to fulfill its role as both an incorporated company and a regional financial institution. Going forward, theBank will continue to strive to be a financial institution that truly deserves your trust.

Financial & Economic Environments

Cash Flows

The Japanese economy continues to experience ups anddowns with the effects of COVID-19 and uncertainty overwhere the global economy is headed. In the first half of thecurrent fiscal year, strong production activities led to somethingof an economic recovery, but delays in procuring components
such as semiconductors and reduced consumption due to thepandemic meant that there was also negative growth. In thelatter half of the year, fewer cases of COVID-19 led to a recovery
in consumption but dramatic price rises for materials and thewar in Ukraine meant that the future outlook was unclear,resulting in a slowdown in some corporate activities. In the
future, the ongoing Ukrainian conflict and trends in international
financial capital markets will continue to require close attention.
As for the regional economy of Fukui Prefecture, thesituation remained difficult for accommodation, transport, anddining services, but production activities started to recover.
Public investment, particularly focused on work related to theextension of the Hokuriku Shinkansen to Tsuruga, is predicted
to continue, with expectations high that this will support theprefecture’s economic base. That said, the global economy,
which is increasingly uncertain, and changes in the Japanese
economy will affect the economy in the prefecture and as such
will need to be watched carefully.

Consolidated net cash flows rose by ¥186,537 million provided
by operating activities and by ¥111,200 million from investing
activities, while ¥1,764 million was used in financing activities.
As a result, cash and cash equivalents at the end of the year
were ¥1,199,210 million, which increased by ¥295,963 million
compared with the previous year.
Net cash provided by operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was ¥186,537 million.
Main factors behind the increase were income from an increasein deposits and borrowed money that exceeded expenditure,reflecting factors such as less call money. Net cash provided
by operating activities was ¥297,307 million lower than in theprevious fiscal year.
Net cash provided by investing activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was ¥111,200 million.
This was due to sales and redemptions of securities exceedingpurchases of securities, as well as an increase in cash frommaking the Fukuho Bank a consolidated subsidiary. Net cashfrom investing activities was ¥164,967 million higher than in theprevious fiscal year.
Net cash used in financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities was ¥1,764 million,
reflecting the payment of dividends and purchase of treasury
shares. Net cash used in financing activities was ¥788 million
higher than in the previous fiscal year.

Consolidated Performance Review
The consolidated results of the Bank and its eight consolidated
subsidiaries in the current fiscal year developed as follows.
Consolidated ordinary revenue increased by ¥3,907 million
from the previous fiscal year to ¥45,790 million mainly due to anincrease in interest on loans and discounts.
Ordinary expenses increased by ¥8,897 million from theprevious fiscal year to ¥46,545 million mainly due to an increasein losses on sales of government bonds.
As a result, we recorded an ordinary loss of ¥754 million,a change of ¥4,989 million from the previous fiscal year. We
were, however, able to record a gain on negative goodwill of¥4,658 million as extraordinary profit. This meant that net income
attributable to owners of parent increased by ¥1,886 million fromthe previous fiscal year to ¥4,440 million.
Deposits belonging to individuals and corporations at the endof the current consolidated fiscal year increased by ¥544,843
million from the previous fiscal year to ¥3,319,738 million.
As a result of responding to various needs in line with our
corporate philosophy, consumer loans and loans to small andmedium-sized enterprises (SMEs) improved, and the balanceat the end of the current consolidated fiscal year increased by¥347,947 million from the previous fiscal year to ¥2,138,111 million.
Securities at the end of the current consolidated fiscal year
increased by ¥22,999 million from the previous fiscal year to¥748,305 million as a result of efforts to manage securities whileclosely monitoring market trends.

Issues to Be Addressed
The Bank and other regional financial institutions have been
facing increasingly uncertain prospects arising in the main fromthe shrinking population in our regional base, the advancementof demographic aging and decreasing birthrates, a worsening of
the earnings environment due to the continuing long-term policyby the government of negative interest rates, and banking market
entries by other industries. In addition, the impact of COVID-19,
which has continued to grow, and the war in Ukraine mean thatthe future of the global economy is very unclear. As such, harshconditions are predicted to continue in the near term.
However, Fukui Prefecture will benefit from an improved
traffic network from the extension of the Hokuriku Shinkansen
into the prefecture and the opening of parts of the Chubu-Jukan
Expressway within the prefecture, which are expected to aid in
the region’s development. Clearly, this will also bring threats andopportunities for the Bank.
To respond to changes in this kind of challenging
environment, we outlined the F Project Vision for 2032, a vision
for where we want the F Project to be in ten years’ time. The
goal of the vision is a sustainable regional model where value iscirculated within the region—a value loop—and to work towardthat goal, we formulated a ten-year long-term management plan
and a three-year medium-term management plan part one. Byswiftly implementing these plans, we will help contribute to thesustainable development of the region.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021
1. Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of The Fukui Bank, Ltd. (“the Bank”) and its consolidated subsidiaries havebeen prepared in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law, its related accounting
regulation and the Banking Act of Japan, and in conformity with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in Japan(“Japanese GAAP”). Japanese GAAP are different in certain respects as to application and disclosure requirements of International
Financial Reporting Standards.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are a translation of the audited consolidated financial statements of the Bank
which were prepared in accordance with Japanese GAAP and were filed with the applicable Local Finance Bureau of the Ministry of
Finance as required by the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law. In preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements,
certain reclassifications and rearrangements have been made in the consolidated financial statements issued domestically in order topresent them in a form which is more familiar to readers outside Japan.
The consolidated financial statements are stated in Japanese yen. The translations of the Japanese yen amounts into U.S. dollars
are included solely for the convenience of readers, using the prevailing exchange rate at March 31, 2022, which was ¥122.39 to U.S.
$1.00. Such translations should not be construed as representations that the Japanese yen amounts have been, could have been, or
could in the future be, converted into U.S. dollars at this or any other rate of exchange.
2. Significant accounting policies and practices(1) Scope of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022 include the accounts of the Bank and its eight subsidiaries (“theGroup”).
Under the control and influence concepts, those companies in which the Bank, directly or indirectly, is able to exercise control over
operations are fully consolidated.
( i ) Consolidated subsidiaries: Eight companies
The Fukugin Lease Co., Ltd.
The Fukui Credit Guarantee Service Co., Ltd.
Fukui Card Co., Ltd.
The Fukui Net Co., Ltd.
The Fukui Capital & Consulting Co., Ltd.
THE FUKUHO BANK, LTD.
Fukui Career Management Co., Ltd.
THE FUKUHO CARD CO., LTD.
Due to the Bank’s acquisition of shares in THE FUKUHO BANK, LTD. ( “the Fukuho Bank”) and its subsidiary THE FUKUHO CARD
CO., LTD., the scope of consolidation has been extended to include these two companies from the current fiscal year. It has also been
extended to include the newly established Fukui Career Management Co., Ltd.
( ii ) Unconsolidated subsidiaries: One company
Fukui Regional Revitalization Investment Limited Partnership
The accounts of the subsidiary have not been consolidated since its total assets, ordinary revenue, net income (loss), retained
earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
(2) Application of the equity method
Those companies over which the Group has the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for by the equity method.
( i ) Unconsolidated subsidiaries accounted for by the equity methodNone( ii ) Affiliates accounted for by the equity methodNone(iii) Unconsolidated subsidiaries not accounted for by the equity method: One company
Fukui Regional Revitalization Investment Limited Partnership(iv) Affiliates not accounted for by the equity method: Two companies
Fukui Tourism Promotion Fund Investment Business Limited Partnership
Fukui Future Business Support Investment Limited Partnership
Investments in the affiliates are not accounted for by the equity method since their net income (loss), retained earnings attributable to
the Group did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

9(3) The Balance sheet date of consolidated subsidiaries( i ) The balance sheet dates of the consolidated subsidiaries are as follows:
March 31: Eight companies(4) Significant accounting policies( i ) Trading account securities
Trading account securities are stated at fair value. Gains and losses realized on disposal and unrealized gains and losses frommarket value fluctuations are recognized as gains or losses in the period.
( ii ) Securities
A. Available-for-sale securities are in general stated at fair value (cost of sale calculated mainly according to the moving-averagemethod) indicated according to market price. However, shares, etc., without market prices are valued at cost using themoving-average method.
Unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities are reported as a component of net assets.
B. Securities constituting trust assets within money held in trust are valued using the same methods as those for the abovementioned A.
(iii) Derivatives
Derivatives are stated at fair value.
(iv) Depreciation and amortization methods
A. Tangible fixed assets (excluding lease assets)
Tangible fixed assets of the Bank are depreciated using the straight-line method.
Useful lives of major asset categories:
Buildings: 3–50 years
Others: 2–20 years
Tangible fixed assets of consolidated subsidiaries are depreciated mainly using the declining-balance method based on assets’estimated useful lives.
B. Intangible fixed assets (excluding lease assets)
Intangible fixed assets are amortized using the straight-line method. Software for internal use is amortized over the useful life
specified by the Bank and consolidated subsidiaries, generally 5–11 years.
C. Lease assets
Lease assets included within tangible fixed assets and intangible fixed assets related to finance lease transactions that do nottransfer ownership are depreciated over the lease term using the straight-line method. For lease assets with a guaranteed
residual value stated in their lease agreements, the residual value is set at the guaranteed amount. Otherwise, the residual
value is assumed to be zero.
( v ) Allowance for doubtful receivables
The Bank and consolidated subsidiaries in the banking industry record allowance for doubtful receivables in accordance withinternally established criteria for write-offs and allowance.
For claims against borrowers that have initiated special liquidation proceedings or other bankruptcy proceedings (“bankrupt
borrowers”) and against borrowers that are in substantially similar adverse condition (“substantially bankrupt borrowers”), theallowance is provided based on the amount of claims, net of the write-off stated below, deducted by the expected amount ofrecoveries from collateral and guarantees.
For claims against borrowers that have not yet initiated bankruptcy proceedings, but are very likely to become bankrupt in the
future (“potentially bankrupt borrowers”), the allowance is provided for the amount deemed necessary based on the overall
assessment of the borrowers’ solvency, and reduced by the amount expected to be collected through the disposal of collateralor execution of guarantees from the claims.
For claims against large potentially bankrupt borrowers with certain outstanding balances or restructured loans or other borrowers
who will require management in the future, the allowance is provided for the difference between the present value of expected future
cash flows discounted at the contractual interest rate prior to the loan restructuring and the carrying amount of the claim, if future cash
flows from collection of the principal and interest can be reasonably estimated (the “cash flow estimation method”).
For claims other than those stated above, the allowance is provided for expected loss amounts. These are calculated based on
the average actual loss ratios for the historical one-year or three-year loan loss records, using the lower limit of the average actual
loss ratios for the entire measurable period in order to reflect long-term economic fluctuations.
All claims are assessed at branches and credit supervision departments based on the criteria for self-assessment of asset quality.
The Risk Management Department, which is independent from the operating sections, monitors the results of such assessments.
For claims against bankrupt borrowers or substantially bankrupt borrowers with collateral or guarantees, the write-off amountis determined as the unrecoverable portion, the claims due from borrowers deducted by the amounts expected to be collected
through the disposal of collateral or through the execution of guarantees, and is directly deducted from the original balance of10

claims. The write-off amount was ¥8,695 million (U.S. $71,051 thousand) and ¥9,750 million for the fiscal year ended March 31,
2022 and 2021, respectively.
For other consolidated subsidiaries, the allowance for doubtful receivables for general claims is provided based on the historicalloan-loss ratios, and the allowance for doubtful receivables for specific claims, such as possible uncollectible claims, is provided
based on the estimate of unrecoverable amount for each claim.
(vi) Provision for bonuses
Provision for bonuses is provided for payment of bonuses to employees, in the amount of estimated bonuses that are attributable
to the current fiscal year.
(vii) Provision for directors’ bonuses
Provision for directors’ bonuses is provided for payment of bonuses to directors, in the amount of estimated bonuses that are
attributable to the current fiscal year.
(viii) Provision for retirement benefits for executive officers
Provision for retirement benefits for executive officers is provided for payment of retirement benefits to executive officers at
certain consolidated subsidiaries, an allowance is provided based on the amount recognized for the consolidated fiscal year forthe amount to be supplied to executive officers as retirement benefits.
(ix) Provision for share-based compensation for executive officers
Provision for share-based compensation for executive officers is provided for issuance of shares to executive officers inaccordance with the performance-linked stock compensation plan.
(x) Provision for reimbursement of deposits
Provision for reimbursement of deposits is provided for in order to meet depositor requests for reimbursement on deposits
already derecognized as liabilities, in the amount deemed necessary by estimating the losses corresponding to the expected
requests for reimbursements in the future.
(xi) Provision for contingent losses
Provision for contingent losses is provided for contingent losses associated with claims due to the implementation of a
responsibility-sharing system in the amount deemed necessary based on the estimated possible future losses.
( xii) Provision for losses on earthquake-proofing measures
Provision for losses on earthquake-proofing measures is provided for losses that arise associated with the earthquake proofing
of business premises in the amounts on reasonable estimates of their future incidence.
(xiii) Provision for point loyalty programs
Provision for point loyalty programs, which is provided for the future use of points granted to customers under credit card points
programs, is calculated by converting outstanding points into a monetary amount and rationally estimating the amount that will
be redeemed in the future.
(xiv) Provision for losses on guarantees
Provision for losses on guarantees is provided for the repayment of borrowings of the “Fukui Bank Stock Holding Partnership
Exclusive Trust Account” established for the implementation of the “Trust-type Employee Share Ownership Incentive Plan,” in theamount of the estimated repayment.
(xv) Liability for retirement benefits
In determining the retirement benefit obligations, the Bank adopts the benefit formula basis to attribute projected benefit
obligations to the period of the year-end. Moreover, for certain consolidated subsidiaries, the straight-line method is used. Past
service cost and actuarial gains or losses are expensed using the following methods:
Past service cost: Past service cost is recognized using the straight-line method, over 5 years within the employees’ averageremaining service period at incurrence. (For certain consolidated subsidiaries, this is processed as expenses for the full amount in
the fiscal year in which it occurred)
Actuarial differences: Actuarial differences are expensed using the straight-line method, over 5 or 10 years within the employees’
average remaining service period, commencing from the next fiscal year of incurrence.
(xvi) Foreign currency translation
Foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated into yen at the rates prevailing at the consolidated balance sheet date.
(xvii) Accounting standards for recognition of significant revenues and expenses
Revenue from contracts with customers mainly takes the form of deposits and lending operations and foreign exchange
operations. The Bank recognizes revenue to the amount expected to be received in exchange for the promised goods or services
at the point that control of such goods or services are transferred to customers.
The accounting standard for income related to financial lease transactions is calculated using a method that accounts for sales
and sales prices at the time at which the leasing fee is received.
(xviii) Hedge accounting
The method of hedge accounting related to managing foreign exchange risk is the deferral hedge method as specified in“Treatment for Accounting and Auditing of Application of Accounting Standard for Foreign Currency Transactions in Banking

11Industry” (JICPA Industry Specific Committee Practical Guidance No. 25, October 8, 2020) (hereafter, the “Report No. 25”).
In evaluating the hedge effectiveness, hedging instruments such as currency swaps are used as a means of mitigating theforeign exchange risk arising from monetary claims and debts denominated in foreign currencies, which are the hedged items, inorder to verify that the foreign currency positions of such hedging instruments are in amounts equivalent to the corresponding
monetary claims and debts denominated in foreign currencies.
(xix) Scope of cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statement of cash flows
The balance of cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statements of cash flows consist of cash and due from the Bankof Japan.
(xx) Accounting policies and procedures adopted in the absence of requirements in relevant accounting standards, etc., thatspecifically apply to events or transactions that are accounted for
Gains resulting from the cancellation or redemption of investment trusts (excluding exchange-traded funds) are recorded as“Interest and dividends on securities.” Losses, meanwhile, are recorded as “Other operating expenses.”Significant accounting estimates

The amount of the allowance for doubtful receivables recorded at the Bank and consolidated subsidiaries in the banking industry
was ¥17,931 million ($146,512 thousand) and ¥13,107 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The following calculation method for the allowance for doubtful receivables has been set forth with respect mainly to the Bankand consolidated subsidiaries in the banking industry.
(2) Information on the nature of significant accounting estimates for identified items( i ) Method of calculation
The calculation method of the allowance for doubtful receivables is described “(v) Allowance for doubtful receivables” in “(4)Significant accounting policies.”
For calculating the allowance for doubtful receivables, the borrowers are classified into categories based on self-assessment
criteria: “normal borrowers,” “borrowers requiring caution,” “potentially bankrupt borrowers,” “substantially bankrupt borrowers,”and “bankrupt borrowers.” Allowance for doubtful receivables is provided for each category of claims according to their assigned
credit risk rating.
In the self-assessment, the borrower categories of loans are determined by assessing borrowers’ repayment ability based on
various factors such as the outlook for business continuity and profitability, the appropriateness of the business improvement
plan, the financial support provided by other financial institutions, and the impact of COVID-19, taking into consideration industry
specific factors.
Notably, if business restructuring is initiated by implementing financial support in line with a reasonable and feasible business
improvement plan or similar, the borrower will be classified as borrowers requiring caution and claims will not constituterestructured loans.
( ii ) Key assumptions
Key assumptions are “the business continuity and profitability outlook based on the characteristics of the specific industry
with respect to determining borrower categories, the viability of business improvement plans, and the financial support provided
by other financial institutions,” especially “prospects for future business recovery and business continuity resulting from areasonable and feasible business improvement plan.” These assumptions are assessed and individually set for each borrower.
Notably, as of the end of the current fiscal year, COVID-19 was continuing to spread and its effects were expected for theforeseeable future. However, although all industries are affected, it is assumed that the degree of impact on credit risk depends
on factors unique to individual companies. Based on these assumptions, the allowance for doubtful receivables is provided
using cash flow estimation method for claims without sufficient collaterals to financially weak borrowers classified as potentiallybankrupt borrowers or similar.
Furthermore, from the current fiscal year, in addition to the continuing spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is expected thata rapid worsening of the economic environment and other factors will increase credit risk. For loans to those borrowers who

12require caution (excluding borrowers who require management) and are deemed to require support, the Bank assumes that theeffects of a worsening of the economic environment will be significant, and as such calculates a provision for expected losses
equal to that borrowed by borrowers who require management.
( iii ) Impact on consolidated financial statements for the next fiscal year
A change in the assumptions used in the initial estimates due to developments in COVID-19 and its impact on the economy
could have a significant impact, such as requiring an increase in the allowance for doubtful receivables on consolidated accounts
in the next fiscal year.
Changes in accounting policies due to application of new or revised accounting standards
Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition
The Bank and its subsidiaries adopted “Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition” (ASBJ Statement No. 29, March 312020) and “Implementation Guidance on Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition” (ASBJ Guidance No. 30, March 31,2020) from the beginning of the current consolidated fiscal year, and accordingly adopted the accounting policy to recognize
revenue at amounts expected to be received in exchange for the promised goods or services at the point that the control of thegoods or services is transferred to customers.
However, in accordance with the transitional treatment in Paragraph 89-3 of Report No. 29, notes related to revenue recognition
are not provided for the previous consolidated fiscal year.
Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement
The Bank and its subsidiaries adopted the Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement (ASBJ Statement No. 30, July 4,2019) from the beginning of the current consolidated fiscal year and applied the new accounting policies prescribed by the
Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement in the future. Moreover, these changes are expected to have no effect on the
consolidated financial statements.
In addition, the fair value of financial instruments by level is disclosed in the notes for “Financial Instruments.” However, following
the transitional treatment in Paragraph 7-4 of “Implementation Guidance on Disclosures about Faire Value of Financial Instruments”(ASBJ Guidance No.19, July 4, 2019), relevant information for the previous consolidated fiscal year is not provided.
Changes in accounting policies due to justifiable reasons other than application of new or revised accounting standards
Changes to accounting categories for income and expenses related to investment trusts
In the past, the Bank recorded gains or losses resulting from the cancellation of investment trusts as “Interest and dividends on
securities.” From the current fiscal year, however, the Bank began to account for each individual trust separately, recording gains
as “Interest and dividends on securities” and losses as “Other operating expenses.”
The Bank has determined that this change, which took advantage of the opportunity to make the consolidated group’s
accounting policies uniform as it made the Fukuho Bank a consolidated subsidiary, will make its disclosure of its investment trust
operations more accurate.
Compared to the method used prior to this change, under this method “Interest and dividends on securities” and “Total income”
increased by ¥2,334 million ($19,076 thousand) and “Other operating expenses” and “Total expenses” decreased by ¥2,334
million ($19,076 thousand). However, there has been no effect on net income. Moreover, as there were no transactions in theprevious fiscal year that resulted in a cancellation loss resulting from the cancellation of an investment trust, there was no effecton the consolidated statement of operations.

13

Unapplied accounting standards and others“Revised Implementation Guidance on Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement” (ASBJ Guidance No. 31, June 17, 2021)(1) Overview
The standard and guidance above set out how to calculate fair value and provided notes for investment trusts and how toprovide notes on the fair value of investments in associations, etc., when the net amount recorded is equivalent to equity on thebalance sheet.
(2) Effective date
Effective from the beginning of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023.
(3) Effects of the application of the standards, etc.
The effects of the application of the standard and guidance are currently being assessed.
Changes in presentation method
Changes to accounting categories for dividend income from creditor group insurance and related expenses.
In the past, the Bank recorded dividends received from credit group insurance, such as those dealing in mortgages, as “Other
income.” Making the Fukuho Bank a consolidated subsidiary presented an opportunity to make the consolidated group’s disclosure
methods uniform. The result of a review of these methods was to take the amount of dividends received from insurance payments andrecord them as expenses. As the Bank has determined that it will be more accurate from the perspective of disclosing insurance
payments, these amounts will be recorded as “Fees and commissions payments” from the current fiscal year.
As a result, categories and amounts given in the previous fiscal year’s consolidated statement of operations—“Other income” of¥2,135 million and “Fees and commissions payments” of ¥2,999 million have been reclassified as “Other income” of ¥1,636 million and“Fees and commissions payments” of 2,501 million.
Changes to accounting estimates
In addition to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, it is expected that a rapid worsening of the economic environment and otherfactors will increase credit risk. To respond to this, for liabilities to those borrowers who require caution (excluding borrowers who
require management) and are deemed to require support, the Bank has a provision for expected losses equal to that borrowed byborrowers who require management.
As a result of these changes to estimates, “Allowance for doubtful receivables” at the end of the current fiscal year increased by¥1,240 million ($10,138 thousand), and “Total expenses” increased by the same amount, while “Income before income taxes” decreasedby that amount.

Holdings during approximately five years. Subsequently, the Trust is to continuously transfer the Bank shares to the Employee
Stock Holdings, and if any gains on sales of shares remain in the Trust account at the Trust’s termination, such residual assets
are to be distributed to those who meet the requirements of eligible beneficiaries. This Trust ended in June 2021.
(ii) Shares held by the Trust Shares held by the Trust are recorded as treasury stock in the net assets at their stated book value of the Trust account(excluding incidental cost amounts) but as the Trust has ended, there are no treasury shares.

 Under the Plan, shares will be awarded to executive officers who have held office during the five fiscal years ending March
31, 2020, through March 31, 2024. As a rule, shares will be transferred to the executive officers at the time of their retirement.
(ii) Shares held by the Trust Shares held by the Trust are recorded as treasury stock in the net assets at their stated book value of the Trust account(excluding incidental cost amounts). The book value and the number of shares of treasury stock are ¥358 million (U.S. $2,930

Bankruptcy reorganization loans and corresponding loans are loans to borrowers who have fallen into bankruptcy and filed a petition
to commence bankruptcy proceedings, reorganization proceedings, or rehabilitation proceedings, or corresponding loans.
Bankruptcy risk loans are those to borrowers who have not yet become bankrupt, but whose economic situation or businessperformance has worsened, where the likelihood of not being able to recover the original amount or interest is high, and which are notbankruptcy reorganization loans or corresponding loans.
Delinquent loans past due three months or more are those where the original amount and interest has not been paid for three months
or more from the day following the contracted repayment date. These cases are not bankruptcy reorganization loans and correspondingloans, and nor are they bankruptcy risk loans.
Restructured loans are lent with the goal of helping borrowers to support or reorganize their businesses. This type of lending might
include a lowering or elimination of interest, a postponement for the repayment of interest or the original amount, an abandonment of
the loan, or other measure deemed beneficial to the borrower. These cases are not bankruptcy reorganization loans and correspondingloans, and nor are they bankruptcy risk loans or delinquent loans past due three months or more.
Amounts for the loans detailed above are the amounts before the allowance for doubtful receivable is deducted.
Changes to the presentation method
In line with the implementation on March 31, 2022, of the Cabinet Office Order Partially Amending the Regulation for Enforcement of
the Banking Act, the Bank presents the “Risk management loans” and other categories in line with disclosed loans and other categories
based on the Act on Emergency Measures for the Revitalization of the Financial Functions.

The balance of loan commitment lines will not necessarily affect the future cash flows of the Bank and the consolidated subsidiaries
because most of these agreements expire without being exercised. Most of these agreements contain clauses allowing the Bank andthe consolidated subsidiaries to reject requests for credit outright or reduce the credit limits due to changed financial circumstances,
the need to secure claims, or other reasonable causes. Besides requesting collateral, such as real estate or securities, as necessary
at the time of entering into the agreement, the Bank has also adopted other measures to keep its credit sound, such as periodicallyassessing the condition of customers’ businesses following the internal procedures and, if necessary, revising agreements.

9. Revaluation reserve for land
Pursuant to the Law concerning Revaluation of Land (Law No. 34, promulgated March 31, 1998, the “Law”), land used for banking
operations was revalued. The tax-equivalent portion of this revaluation amount was recorded as “Deferred tax liabilities for land
revaluation” in liabilities and remainder as “Revaluation reserve for land” in net assets.
Revaluation date
March 31, 1998
Item 3, Article 3, of the Law establishes the evaluation method as that prescribed by Article 2, Paragraph 4 of the Enforcement
Ordinance of Law on Revaluation of Land (Enforcement Ordinance No. 119, promulgated March 31, 1998), and the amount of land
tax is calculated on the basis of the land tax amount specified under Article 16 of the Land-holding Tax Act, adjusted rationally inaccordance with the basis of calculation announced officially by the National Tax Agency.
Total difference between market value of land for banking operations revalued in accordance with Article 10 of the Law and thetotal book value of the land after such revaluation are as follows.

The book values of the assets listed above have been written down to the recoverable values, and the write-down amounts havebeen recognized as impairment loss in other expenses since the recovery of the invested amounts is not expected due to the decision
to replace certain branches, decreased cash flows caused by the continuing decline in operating income, and lower land prices.
The Bank defines grouping units into the categories used in management accounting, which are based on business premise units
for business offices (in cases where multiple business premises jointly conduct business in a region, the region forms the unit), and into
individual units for idle assets. The head office, the operation center, and dormitories and company housing, etc., which form assetsthat contribute to the future cash flow generation of multiple asset groups, are treated as corporate assets.
Each consolidated subsidiary is grouped by business premise unit or company unit.
Notably, the recoverable values of the subject asset groups are measured on the basis of net disposal prices, which are mainly
calculated according to methods consistent with real estate appraisal standards.

17. Income from contracts with customers
For ordinary revenue from sales, income from contracts with customers is not listed separately from other income. The amount ofincome from contracts with customers is detailed in Note 33 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements related to revenue

Notes to the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Net Assets
19. Changes in Net Assets
Under the Companies Law and the Banking Law of Japan, the following is provided: the entire amount of the issue price of sharesis required to be accounted for as capital, although a company may, by a resolution of its board of directors, account for an amountnot exceeding one-half of the issue price of the new shares as additional paid-in capital, which is included in capital surplus.
The Companies Law and the Banking Law provide that an amount equal to at least 20% of cash dividends shall be appropriated andset aside as a legal reserve until the total amount of legal reserve and additional paid-in capital equals 100% of common stock. The
legal reserve and additional paid-in capital may be used to eliminate or reduce a deficit by a resolution of the shareholders’ meeting or
may be capitalized by a resolution of the board of directors. On condition that the total amount of legal reserve and additional paid-in
capital remains equal to or exceeds 100% of common stock, they are available for distribution by a resolution of the shareholders’meeting. Legal reserve is included in retained earnings in the accompanying financial statements.
The maximum amount that the Bank can distribute as dividends is calculated based on the non-consolidated financial statementsof the Bank in accordance with the Companies Law.

23. Financial Instruments(1) Circumstances of financial instruments( i ) Policies for engagement with financial instruments
The Group is engaged in a variety of financial services centered on the banking businesses, such as deposit operations, lending
operations, and foreign exchange operations. Moreover, in order to acquire stable returns, the Group utilizes the funds of securities
on the investment side.
Furthermore, the Group engages in derivative transactions in order to respond to customers’ requests on risk hedging related
to foreign currency exchange as well as for use in asset liability management (ALM) for the appropriate management of theGroup’s own market risks, and as a measure for investing with partially mitigated risk. And the Group has determined not toengage in derivative transactions of a complex structure and speculative nature.
Certain consolidated subsidiaries of the Group operate banking and leasing businesses.
( ii ) Content and risks of financial instruments
Financial assets held by the Group, principally loans and bills discounted extended to domestic customers are exposed tocredit risk and market risk. Securities, principally debt securities, shares, and investment trusts, held by the Group are exposedto credit risk and market risk.
Financial liabilities held by the Group, principally deposits, are exposed to market risk. Borrowed money is subject to market risk
and liquidity risk of becoming unable to execute payment on due date, such as that the Group cannot use the market undercertain circumstances.
With regard to derivative transactions, the Group employs interest rate swaps in interest-related transactions, currency swaps,
currency options, and currency forwards in currency-related transactions. The Group is exposed to credit risk and market risk.
The hedge accounting is applied for certain currency swap transactions when they are employed in order to convert the currencyof financing (Japanese yen denominated) into the currency of fund management (foreign currency denominated). The Group
performs its hedge effective test through defining the financial claims and obligation as a hedged item and foreign currency swaps
as a hedging instrument, and checking that the hedging instruments of foreign currency position equivalent to the hedged items
exist.
( iii ) Risk management structure related to financial instruments
A. Credit risk management
Credit risk means the risk of suffering loss from a decrease or extermination of the value of assets (including off-balance items)of the Group by the deterioration in the creditworthiness of the obligor.
For the Group, credit risk is an unavoidable risk for the purposes of its business operations. The Group aims to create its
structure capable of controlling credit risk because the Group is fully aware of the necessity of rapid responsive action to suchrisk. Specifically, the Group has established the Credit concentration risk management standards and is working to identify andimprove upon such risk in order to avoid credit concentration risks and create balanced credit portfolios.
With regard to credit risk measurement, the Group assesses and analyzes its credit risk status according to credit rating,industry and region, and exercises risk-based quantitative management and control in accordance with the Risk capital system.
B. Market risk management
Market risk means the risk of financial loss to the Group through changes in income and value of assets and liabilities held,
including off-balance items, due to fluctuations in various market risk factors, such as interest rates, exchange rates, equity
prices.
a. Risk management
Market risk mainly consists of interest risk, foreign exchange risk and price fluctuation.
The Group considers market risk as a constituent part of ALM. The Group intends to maintain an appropriate balance of risk
and return based on capital adequacy, profitability, trends of loan and deposit, the status of securities holdings.
Specifically, the management committee makes discussions concerning the status of comprehensive risk values, risk values

26

of the market investment division, and quantitative interest rate risk of loans and deposits, as well as discussions of the
securities investment plan, which enables the Group to manage integrally the Group’s overall risk and market risk. The market
investment division establishes its position limits for entire securities and by type of security, and carries out market transaction
flexibly within them.
Additionally, the market risk management unit (middle office) is organizationally segregated from the front office operations
to maintain the segregation of duties, and conducts daily monitoring of the risk status.
The market risk management unit identifies quantitative market risk using Value at risk (VaR) for the securities, loans anddeposits accounts of banking operation, and conduct risk management and analysis.
b. Quantitative information concerning market risk
The variance-covariance method is used to calculate the Group’s market risk (VaR).
Investment held in securities accounts
Holding period: 6 months; confidence level: 99.0%; observation period: 5 years
Policy investments held in securities accounts
Holding period: 1 year; confidence level: 99.0%; observation period: 5 years
Loans and deposits accounts
Holding period: 1 year; confidence level: 99.0%; observation period: 5 years
In the calculation of the amount of market risk (VaR) of loans and deposits accounts, the Group considers core deposits anduses an internal model approach to measure core deposits.
At the end of this fiscal year, the total amount of market risk (VaR) of the Group amounted to ¥35,446 million ($289,622
thousand)—¥33,658 million at the previous fiscal year-end—and loans and deposit accounts totaled ¥20,208 million ($165,118
thousand)—¥22,431 million at the previous fiscal year-end.
In order to verify the reliability of its methods for measuring market risk, the Group performs back testing by comparing VaR
calculated for securities accounts for a one-day holding period with the day-to-day declines in market value and checks its
validity.
However, VaR measures the market risk under a certain probability statistically calculated based on historical market
fluctuations, and risks may not be captured in the event of extraordinarily rapid changes in market conditions.
C. Liquidity risk management relevant to fundraising
Liquidity risk comprises “cash management risk”, the risk of suffering loss when necessary funds cannot be secured or thefunds are forced to be raised only at an abnormally high interest rate, due to a period mismatch between investments andfunding, or due to unforeseeable fund outflows; “market liquidity risk”, the risk of suffering loss when transactions cannot takeplace due to market turmoil or can only be conducted at an abnormally inferior price; and “settlement risk”, the risk of suffering
loss when funds or assets cannot be received as planned through settlements with counterparties.
Liquidity risk refers to those three comprehensive risks, cash management risk, market liquidity risk, and settlement risk. The
Group considers controlling of cash management risk the important management issue since market liquidity risk andsettlement risk belong ultimately to cash management risk.
The Group conducts appropriate cash management and reporting to the executive officer in charge of the comprehensive
risk management division through management of the fund procurement structure, funding gaps between investments andprocurement, and liquidity reserves for Japanese yen and foreign denominated funds.
Specifically, the Group has defined categories rated as “normal,” “alert,” and “crisis” according to the status of cash
management and has determined subsets of management methods, reporting frameworks, and approval modes for eachcategory, managed by the organizationally independent front office, back office, and middle office with monitoring mutually.
(iv) Supplementary explanation concerning fair value of financial instruments
The measurement of fair value of financial instruments is based on certain assumptions and may vary when different assumptions
are employed.

27

(2) Fair values of financial instruments
The carrying amounts on the consolidated balance sheets and fair values of financial instruments as of March 31, 2022 and 2021,
as well as the differences between these values are presented below. Shares and investments in partnerships without market prices
are not included in the following table (See Note 1). Also, as cash and due from banks and payables under repurchase agreements

(3) Breakdown for the fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of financial instruments by level of inputs
Based on the observability and the significance of the inputs used to determine fair value, the fair value of financial instruments ispresented by categorizing the measurements into the following three levels:
Level 1 fair value: fair value measured by quoted prices of identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 fair value: fair value measured using observable inputs other than Level 1.
Level 3 fair value: fair value measured using unobservable inputs.
When multiple inputs of different categories are used in measuring fair value, the Bank and its subsidiaries classify the fair value
into the category to which the lowest priority is assigned.

Note 1: Explanation of evaluation methods used to calculate fair value and inputs related to the calculation of fair value
AssetsSecurities
As market fair values for listed stocks in active markets can be used without adjustment, these are classified as Level 1 fair values.
The fair values of private placement bonds guaranteed by the Bank are calculated based on the value of expected future cash
flows, after deductions for credit risk for the total amount of principal and interest by the issuer’s internal rating and certain time
period has been applied, discounted at the market interest rate. As credit risk is an input with unobservable significant effect (a“significant unobservable input”), these are classified as Level 3 fair values.
Securities not detailed above use fair values based on evaluation amounts provided by third parties. Of those, securities for which
there are fair values for equivalent assets or liabilities in active markets and that are not adjusted are classified as Level 1. Those thatuse significant unobservable inputs are classified as Level 3, while others are classified as Level 2 fair values.
Loans and bills discounted
Loans and bills with fluctuating interest rates can be reflected by market interest rates in the short term, and provided the credit
risk of the borrower does not change dramatically, fair values are essentially equivalent to their book values and so fair value is taken
to be the relevant book value. The fair values of loans and bills with fixed interest rates are calculated based on the value of expected
future cash flows, after deductions for credit risk for the total amount of principal and interest principally by the type of loan, issuer’s
internal rating and certain time period has been applied, discounted at the market interest rate.
Fair values for loans and bills with short contract periods (a year or less) are essentially equivalent to their book values and so fairvalue is taken to be the relevant book value. For loans to bankrupt, substantially bankrupt, and potentially bankrupt borrowers, fairvalue is an amount where the individual allowance for doubtful receivables is deducted from book value. As credit risk is a significant
unobservable input, these are classified as Level 3 fair values.
Liabilities
Deposits
For demand deposits paid immediately after a demand on the consolidated balance sheet date, that amount is taken as the fairvalue. The fair values of time deposits are determined based on the present discounted value of future cash flows by certain time
periods discounted by expected future cash flows. The discount rate generally uses the interest rate required for newly originateddeposits. These are classified as Level 2 fair values.
Borrowed money
The fair values of borrowed money are determined based on the present value of the total amount of principal and interest bycertain time periods discounted at the interest rate that would be presumably applied for similar borrowings. Fair values for borrowed
money with short contract periods (a year or less) are essentially equivalent to their book values and so fair value is taken to be therelevant book value. These are classified as Level 2 fair values.
Derivative transactions
The fair values of derivative transactions are calculated using present value evaluation method, the Black-Scholes model, or otherevaluation method depending on the type of transaction or time until completion. Major inputs for these used in these evaluation
methods include interest, exchange rates, and volatility. For those where unobservable inputs are not used, or where the influenceof such is deemed insignificant, these are classified as Level 2 fair values. These include exchange contract transactions, currency
option transactions, and currency swap transactions.

*Included in “Valuation difference on available-for-sale securities” under “Other comprehensive income” in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income(3) Explanation of the fair value evaluation process
Within the Bank accounting departments set policies and procedures for calculating fair value, and the market departments calculate
fair value in accordance with these policies and procedures. For the fair values so calculated, the accounting departments assess
the evaluation method used, the validity of the inputs, and the appropriateness of the level into which the value has been categorized.
In calculating fair value, the most appropriate evaluation model, which can reflect the nature, special characteristics, and risks ofeach individual asset, are used. Even for instances when a market value provided by a third party is used, the evaluation method andthe validity of the value are assessed through appropriate methods.

36

(4) Explanation of effect on fair value when significant unobservable inputs are changed
A significant unobservable input that is used to calculate fair value on private placement bonds guaranteed by the Bank is thedefault probability. A significant rise (or drop) in the default probability rate will cause a significant drop (or rise) in the fair value.

None(7) Impairment of securities
Securities other than trading securities, (excluding shares and investments in partnerships without market prices) are treated as
impaired when their fair values have declined significantly from the acquisition cost, unless it is deemed that there is a possibility ofa recovery in the fair value. Such securities are recorded at their fair values in the consolidated balance sheets. The difference
between the acquisition cost and the fair values is recognized as an impairment loss.
In the previous fiscal year, impairment loss was recognized in the amount of ¥878 million (including ¥257 million related to “Stocks”
and ¥621million to “Corporate bonds”).
In the current fiscal year, impairment loss was recognized in the amount of ¥1,546 million ($12,634 thousand), of which ¥1,097
million ($8,967 thousand) related to “Stocks,” ¥184 million ($1,509 thousand) to “Corporate bonds,” and ¥264 million ($2,158
thousand) to “Others.”
The impairment of securities is recognized for all securities when the market value of the securities has fallen by 50% or morecompared with the acquisition cost, and for other securities when the market value of the securities has fallen by 30% or morecompared with the acquisition cost, unless it is deemed that there is a possibility of a recovery in the fair value in consideration of
past reduction rates over a specific period of time and financial conditions of issuing companies.

34. Segment information
Reportable segment information
The reportable segments of the Group are defined as operation segments for which discrete financial information is available andwhose operating results are regularly reviewed by executive corporate officers at management committee meetings to determine
resource allocation and to assess their performance.
In the past, the Group’s activities were classified into three business segments: “Banking,” “Leasing,” and “Others.” From the current
fiscal year, however, these activities are reported in a single segment, “Comprehensive Financial Services.”
After the acquisition of the Fukuho Bank on October 1, 2021, considering the Bank’s desired future management structure for theGroup, business segment definitions were reviewed. As a result, with the thinking that the Group’s business belonged to one solebusiness segment, it was deemed appropriate to adopt the Comprehensive Financial Services segment as a comprehensive financial
services provider.
Due to this change to a single business segment, segment information for the current and previous fiscal years is not provided.

59Independent auditor’s report
To the Board of Directors of The Fukui Bank, Ltd.:
OpinionWe have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of The Fukui Bank, Ltd.(“theBank”) and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “the Group”), which comprise theconsolidated balance sheets as at March 31, 2022 and 2021, the consolidated statements of operations,comprehensive income, changes in net assets and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes,
comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at March 31, 2022 and 2021, and its
consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended inaccordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan. Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the
Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Groupin accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial
statements in Japan, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with theserequirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate toprovide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our
audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in thecontext of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion
thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Appropriateness of the amount of the gain on negative goodwill related to the acquisition ofshares in THE FUKUHO BANK, LTD. (“the Fukuho Bank”)
The key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

As described in Note. 30, “Businesscombination” to the consolidated financial
statements, the Bank acquired 51.98% sharesof the Fukuho Bank through a third-party
allotment implemented by the Fukuho Bankon October 1, 2021, and as a result, theFukuho Bank was included as a consolidated

The primary procedures we performed to assess thereasonableness of the amount of the gain on negative
goodwill arising from the acquisition of shares in the
Fukuho Bank included the following:(1) Internal control testing60

subsidiary of the Bank. Under this businesscombination, the Bank acquired assets of¥485,595 million and liabilities of ¥467,021
million. Since the total acquisition cost of¥5,000 million was less than the fair value ofthe acquiree’s net assets acquired at thebusiness combination, the difference of¥4,658 million was recognized as a gain on
negative goodwill.
A gain on negative goodwill is recognized if
an acquisition cost, which is allocated to
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities
assumed from an acquiree based on their fairvalues at the date of the businesscombination, is less than a net amountallocated to assets acquired and liabilities
assumed.
The Bank determined the acquisition cost byreferring to the calculation results made byan external expert. However, assumptions
used for the calculation involve a degree of
uncertainty. In addition, in allocating theacquisition cost, identifiable assets andliabilities should be assessed at their fairvalues and fair value measurement of theassets in allocating the acquisition cost is
subject to estimation uncertainty. These havea significant effect on the amount of the gain
on negative goodwill.
We, therefore, determined that ourassessment of the appropriateness of theamount of the gain on negative goodwill
related to the acquisition of shares in the
Fukuho Bank was one of the most significant
matters in our audit of the consolidated
statements for the current consolidated fiscal
year, and accordingly, a key audit matter.

We tested the design and operating effectiveness ofcertain of the Bank’s internal controls relevant to thecalculation process for the gain on negative goodwill
arising from the acquisition of shares in the FukuhoBank.
(2) Assessment of the reasonableness of the amount of
the gain on negative goodwill arising from theacquisition of shares in the Fukuho Bank
In order to assess the gain on negative goodwill arisingfrom the acquisition of shares in the Fukuho Bank, we;
⚫

⚫

inquired of management of the Bank andinspected the relevant minutes of the board of
directors’ meetings to understand the backgroundof the acquisition of shares, determination processof the acquisition cost and the future businessstrategy;
inspected the report on value of shares prepared by
the external expert, to which the Bank referred indetermining the acquisition cost, and evaluated theassumptions used and the valuation methodology
applied for the calculation of the value of shares;
for the balances of identifiable assets acquired andliabilities, requested the component auditor of the
Fukuho Bank to provide the results of the audit
performed on the interim consolidated financial
statements and evaluated the appropriateness of
the audit by inspecting the report materials
obtained and making a communication with thecomponent auditor;
inspected the relevant documents including theinterim consolidated financial statements of the
Fukuho Bank, which were examined by the Bank,and recalculated the fair values of identifiable
assets and liabilities at the date of the businesscombination of the Fukuho Bank; andevaluated competence, capabilities, and objectivityof the external expert the Bank used for fair value
measurement of the assets and assessed theappropriateness of operations performed by theexternal expert by involving our own specialists.

Appropriateness of classification of borrowers in estimating the allowance for doubtfulreceivables for loans
The key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

The consolidated financial statements of theGroup reported loans and bills discounted of¥2,138,111 million (approximately 51% of

The primary procedures we performed to assess
whether classification of borrowers in estimating theallowance for doubtful receivable for loans of the61consolidated total assets) and allowance for
doubtful receivables of ¥19,394 million in
the consolidated balance sheet. Of this, thetotal amount of allowance for doubtfulreceivables reported by the Bank, theconsolidated parent company, and the
Fukuho Bank, a consolidated subsidiary, was¥17,931 million.
As described in Note 2, “Significant
accounting policies and practices (4)Significant accounting policies (ⅴ)
Allowance for doubtful receivables” and“Significant accounting estimates Allowance for doubtful receivables" to theconsolidated financial statements, the Bankand the Fukuho Bank classify borrowers into
five categories based on its internal selfassessment criteria: “normal borrowers,”“borrowers requiring caution,” “potentiallybankrupt borrowers,” “substantially bankrupt
borrowers,” and “bankrupt borrowers.”
Allowance for doubtful receivables isprovided for each category of claims
according to their assigned credit risk rating
determined in accordance with the write-off
and provisions policy.
In the self-assessment, classification of aborrower into a category is determined byassessing the borrowers’ repayment ability
based on various factors such as the outlook
for business continuity and profitability, theappropriateness of the business improvement
plan, the financial support provided by otherfinancial institutions, and the impact of
COVID-19, taking into considerationindustry specific factors.
In particular, when assessing the credit riskof borrowers, taking into consideration theprospects for future business recovery andbusiness continuity resulting from areasonable and feasible business
improvement plan, the assessment involves
management's subjective judgment and may
have a significant impact on the allowancefor doubtful receivables.

In addition, werequested the component auditor of the Fukuho Bank, aconsolidated subsidiary, to perform an audit, and thenwe evaluated the report of the component auditor as towhether sufficient and appropriate audit evidence wasobtained from the following procedures among others:(1) Internal control testing
We tested the design and operating effectiveness ofcertain of the Bank’s internal controls relevant toclassification of borrowers in the self-assessment,
which is the basis for calculating the allowance for
doubtful receivables. In this assessment, we focused
our testing on the following:
controls to appropriately establish the internal selfassessment criteria and the write-off andprovisions policy in compliance with theapplicable accounting standards;⚫ controls to ensure the reliability of the financial
information of borrowers that were entered into
the self-assessment rating management systems;
and⚫ controls over classification of borrowers based on

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do
not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read theother information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears
to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of thisother information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and the Audit Committee for the Consolidated Financial
Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial
statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, and for such internal
control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern inaccordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan.
The audit committee is responsible for overseeing the executive officers’and directorts’ performance of
their duties with regard to the design, implementation and maintenance of the Group’s financial
reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements
as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’sreport that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not aguarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan
will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error
and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to63influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan, we exercise
professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, andobtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The riskof not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting fromerror, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or theoverride of internal control.

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances, while the objective of the audit is not to express an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management.

Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting
and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events orconditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If
we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’sreport to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to
the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group tocease to continue as a going concern.



Evaluate whether the presentation and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements are inaccordance with accounting standards generally accepted in Japan, the overall presentation,
structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, andwhether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in amanner that achieves fair presentation.

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities orbusiness activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements.
We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remainsolely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the audit committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit, significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control
that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the audit committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other mattersthat may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the audit committee, we determine those matters that were ofmost significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are
therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or
regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we
determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences ofdoing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Convenience Translation
The U.S. dollar amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect to the year
ended March 31, 2022 are presented solely for convenience. Our audit also included the translation of
yen amounts into U.S. dollar amounts and, in our opinion, such translation has been made on the basis

64described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.
Interest required to be disclosed by the Certified Public Accountants Act of Japan
