Exhibit 4

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Board of Directors of

Development Bank of Japan Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Development Bank of Japan (the “Bank”) and consolidated subsidiaries as of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity, and cash flows for the six-month period ended September 30, 2008 and the year ended March 31, 2008, respectively, all expressed in Japanese yen. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Development Bank of Japan and consolidated subsidiaries as of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the six-month period ended September 30, 2008 and the year ended March 31, 2008, respectively, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan.

As discussed in Note 26 to the consolidated financial statements, Development Bank of Japan was dissolved and Development Bank of Japan Inc. was established on October 1, 2008.

Our audits also comprehended the translation of Japanese yen amounts into U.S. dollar amounts and, in our opinion, such translation has been made in conformity with the basis stated in Note 1. Such U.S. dollar amounts are presented solely for the convenience of readers outside Japan.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the accounts maintained by Development Bank of Japan (“DBJ”), its consolidated subsidiaries and an affiliate accounted for by the equity method in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, which are different in certain respects as to the application and disclosure requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards.

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, certain reclassifications and rearrangements have been made to the consolidated financial statements issued domestically in order to present them in a form which is more familiar to readers outside Japan.

Except for those assets to be assumed by the Japanese Government pursuant to Article 15, Paragraph 2 of the Supplementary Provisions, DBJ contributed all assets and liabilities to DBJ Inc., which was established on October 1, 2008, pursuant to Article 9 of the Supplementary Provisions of the Development Bank of Japan Inc. Law. DBJ Inc. has succeeded substantially all of the rights and obligations of DBJ. Accordingly, the six-month period ended September 30, 2008 whereas the year ended March 31, 2008.

The amounts indicated in millions of yen are rounded down by omitting the figures less than one million yen. Accordingly, the sum of each amount appearing in the accompanying financial statements and the notes thereto may not be equal to the sum of the individual account balances. Amounts in U.S. dollars are presented solely for the convenience of readers outside Japan. The rate of ¥103.57=$1.00, the effective exchange rate prevailing as of September 30, 2008, has been used in the conversion. The presentation of such amounts is not intended to imply that Japanese yen amounts have been or could have been readily translated, realized or settled in U.S. dollars at that rate or any other rate.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Principles of Consolidation

 

  (1)  Scope of Consolidation

Under the control or influence concept, companies in which DBJ, directly or indirectly, is able to exercise control over operations are fully consolidated. On September 8, 2006, the Accounting Standards Board of Japan (“ASBJ”) issued Practical Issues Task Force No.20, “Practical Solution on Application of Control Criteria and Influence Criteria to Investment Associations” which was effective for the period and the fiscal years ending on or after September 8, 2006. The practical solution clarifies how the control and influence concept should be practically applied to the consolidation scope of collective investment vehicles, such as limited partnerships, Tokumei Kumiai and other entities with similar characteristics. DBJ applied this task force and consolidated 6 such collective investment vehicles for the six-month period ended September 30, 2008 and the year ended March 31, 2008, respectively.

 

  (i)  consolidated subsidiaries

The number of consolidated subsidiaries as of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008 is 10, respectively. The Consolidated subsidiaries as of September 30, 2008 are as follows:

DBJ Business Investment Co., Ltd.

DBJ Corporate Investment Fund

DBJ Technology and New Business Creation Fund

DBJ Value Up Fund

DBJ Structured Investment Fund

DBJ Corporate mezzanine partners Co., Ltd.

DBJ Credit Line, Ltd.

New Business Investment Co., Ltd.

New Business Investment No.1 Investment Limited Liability Partnership

Financial Frontier Fund

 

  (ii)  non-consolidated subsidiaries

The number of non-consolidated subsidiaries as of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008 is 22 and 21, respectively. Such subsidiaries as of September 30, 2008 are mainly as follows:

Asuka DBJ Investment LPS

GAD financial Service Limited

CITIC Japan Growth Partners, L.P.

Bridgehead Co., Ltd.

Non-consolidated subsidiaries are excluded from the scope of consolidation because such exclusion has no material impact on the consolidated financial statements in terms of total assets, net income, retained earnings or deferred hedge gains and losses.

 

  (iii)  entities not considered to be subsidiaries where DBJ has more than a 50% ownership interest

The number of entities not considered to be subsidiaries where DBJ has more than a 50% ownership interest as of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008 is 5, respectively. Such entities as of September 30, 2008 are mainly as follows:

ADS Global Partners Ltd.

Wise Partners Co., Ltd.

These Entities are excluded from the scope of consolidation since DBJ’s intent is to nurture the venture business and not to exercise control over their operating and financing policies.


(2) Application of the Equity Method

Under the control or influence concept, non-consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates over which DBJ has the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for by the equity method.

 

  (i)  non-consolidated subsidiaries accounted for by the equity method

There are no non-consolidated subsidiaries accounted for by the equity method as of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, respectively.

 

  (ii)  affiliates accounted for by the equity method

The number of affiliates accounted for by the equity method as of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008 is 1, respectively. The affiliate accounted for by the equity method as of September 30, 2008 is as follows:

eBANK Corporation

 

  (iii)  non-consolidated subsidiaries not accounted for by the equity method

The number of non-consolidated subsidiaries not accounted for by the equity method as of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008 is 22 and 21, respectively. Such subsidiaries as of September 30, 2008 are mainly as follows:

Asuka DBJ Investment LPS

GAD financial Service Limited

CITIC Japan Growth Partners, L.P.

Bridgehead Co., Ltd.

 

  (iv)  affiliates not accounted for by the equity method

The number of affiliates not accounted for by the equity method as of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008 is 108 and 100, respectively. Such affiliates as of September 30, 2008 are mainly as follows:

Technology Alliance Investment, Ltd.

Asuka DBJ Partners Co., Ltd.

Intellectual Properties Development & Investment

Non-consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates that are not accounted for by the equity method have been excluded from the scope of the equity method because their aggregate effect in terms of net income, retained earnings and deferred gains and losses has no material impact on the consolidated financial statements of DBJ.

 

  (v)  entities not considered to be affiliates where DBJ has greater than 20% but less than a majority of voting stock

The number of entities not considered to be affiliates where DBJ has greater than 20% but less than a majority of voting stock as of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008 is 13 and 10, respectively. Such entities as of September 30, 2008 are mainly as follows:

Global Insurance Corporation

Gordon Brothers Japan Co., Ltd.

Green Power Investment Corporation

These entities are not accounted for by the equity method because DBJ’s intent is to nurture the venture business and not to exercise significant influence on their operating and financing policies.

(3) Balance sheet Dates of Consolidated Subsidiaries

Balance sheet dates of consolidated subsidiaries are as follows

 

For the September 30 consolidation

    
June 30   1 subsidiary   
September 30   9 subsidiaries   

For the March 31 consolidation

    
December 31   1 subsidiary   
March 31   9 subsidiaries   

Consolidated subsidiaries are consolidated based on the financial statements that are prepared as of their interim or year-end balance sheet date.

The necessary adjustments are made in the consolidated financial statements to reflect material transactions that occur between the interim or year-end balance sheet date of the subsidiary and the consolidated balance sheet date.

(4) Valuation of Consolidated Subsidiaries’ Assets and Liabilities

Assets and liabilities of newly consolidated subsidiaries are measured at fair value at the date of acquisition of control.


(5) Elimination of Intercompany Balances and Transactions

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All material unrealized profit resulting from transactions between DBJ and its consolidated subsidiaries is eliminated.

(6) Amortization of Goodwill

The difference between the fair value of net assets and the cost of the acquired subsidiary is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated beneficial period not exceeding 20 years. Minor differences are charged to income in the year of acquisition.

(b) Cash and Cash Equivalents

“Cash and Cash Equivalents” in the consolidated statements of cash flows consist of cash on hand and due from banks.

The reconciliation between “Cash and Cash Equivalents” and “Cash and Due from Banks” in the consolidated balance sheet is as follows:

 

     Millions of yen     Thousands of
U.S. dollars
(Note 1)
 
     As of
September 30, 2008
    As of
March 31, 2008
    As of
September 30, 2008
 

Cash and Due from Banks

   ¥ 206,530     ¥ 182,916     $ 1,994,113  

Time Deposits with Banks

     (184,200 )     (151,600 )     (1,778,507 )

Trust Money to Financial Agencies

       (10 )  
                        

Cash and Cash Equivalents

   ¥ 22,330     ¥ 31,306     $ 215,606  
                        

(c) Securities

Held-to-maturity debt securities are stated at amortized cost with amortization computed on a straight-line basis, using the weighted average method. Available-for-sale securities with readily available market quotations are stated at market value (cost is calculated principally using the weighted average method). Other securities without market quotations are stated at cost or amortized cost computed using the weighted average method.

Investments in limited partnerships and other similar partnerships are accounted for at their original cost plus DBJ’s interest in earnings since acquisition and less any dividends received, based on their most recent financial statements.

Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included in equity, net of income taxes.

Securities which are held as trust assets in money held in trust accounts are valued in the same way as other securities.

(d) Valuation Method for Derivative Financial Instruments

All derivative financial instruments are carried at market value. Except for certain derivatives that are designated as hedging instruments as discussed below, gains or losses on derivative transactions are recognized in the statements of operations.

(e) Hedge Accounting

(i) Hedge Accounting

DBJ applies the deferral method of hedge accounting. Foreign currency swaps which are used to hedge foreign currency fluctuations are not translated at market values but at contractual rates, as the foreign currency swap contracts meet the hedging criteria under the Accounting Standards for Financial Instruments.

(ii) Hedging Instruments and Hedged Items

 

•    Hedging Instruments   :   Interest Rate Swaps
     Hedged Items   :   Bonds and Notes, Borrowings, and Loans
•    Hedging Instruments   :   Foreign Currency Swaps
     Hedged Items   :   Foreign currency denominated Loans and Bonds and Notes

(iii) Hedging Policy

DBJ utilizes hedging instruments to hedge interest rates and foreign currency fluctuations on its assets and liabilities.

(iv) Evaluation of Hedge Effectiveness

DBJ evaluates the effectiveness of the hedges by testing whether the derivatives are effective in reducing the risks associated with the hedged items.

In regards to both interest rate swap contracts which meet the hedging requirements of the accrual method(*1) and foreign currency swap contracts which meet the hedging requirements of the assignment method(*2), under the Accounting Standards for Financial Instruments at the inception date, DBJ is not required to periodically evaluate their hedge effectiveness.

*1

If interest rate swap contracts are used as hedges and meet certain hedging criteria, the net amount to be paid or received under the interest rate swap contract is added to or deducted from the interest on the assets or liabilities for which the swap contract was executed.

*2

In cases where foreign currency swaps are used as hedges and meet certain hedging criteria, forward foreign exchange contracts and hedged items are accounted for in the following manner;

1) If a foreign currency swap is executed to hedge existing foreign currency assets or liabilities, a) the difference, if any, between the Japanese yen amount of the hedged foreign currency asset or liability translated using the spot rate at the inception date of the contract and the book value of the asset or liability is recognized in the statement of operations in the period which includes the inception date, and b) the discount or premium on the contract (that is, the difference between the Japanese yen amount of the contract translated using the contracted forward rate and that translated using the spot rate at the inception date of the contract) is recognized over the term of the contract.

2) If a foreign currency swap is executed to hedge a future transaction denominated in a foreign currency, the future transaction will be recorded using the contracted forward rate, and no gains or losses on the forward foreign exchange contract are recognized.


(f) Fixed Assets

(i) Depreciation of Tangible Fixed Assets

Tangible Fixed Assets are depreciated using the declining-balance method, except for buildings (excluding installed facilities) that are depreciated on a straight-line basis.

The estimated useful lives are principally as follows:

Buildings: 22 years to 50 years

Equipment: 3 years to 20 years

(ii) Amortization of Intangible Fixed Assets

Intangible Fixed Assets are amortized using the straight-line method.

(iii) Lease Assets

Depreciation for lease assets is computed under the straight-line method with zero residual value over the lease term.

(g) Long-lived Assets

DBJ reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the continued use and eventual disposition of the asset or asset group. The impairment loss would be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of the discounted cash flows from the continued use and eventual disposition of the asset or the net selling price at disposition.

(h) Bonds and Notes Issuance Costs

“Bonds and Notes Issuance Costs” are charged to income as incurred.

(i) Foreign Currency Translation and Revaluation Method

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Japanese yen at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date of the six-month period or the year end.

(j) Allowance for Loan Losses

DBJ provides on “Allowance for Loan Losses” as detailed below pursuant to the internal policies for self-assessment of credit quality and loan losses.

The allowance for claims on debtors who are legally bankrupt, in special liquidation or effectively bankrupt is provided for based on the amount of claims, after the write-off described below, net of amounts expected to be recovered through disposal of collateral or execution of guarantees.

The allowance for claims on debtors who are not legally bankrupt at the moment, but are likely to become bankrupt, and for which future cash flows cannot reasonably be estimated, is provided for at the amount considered to be necessary based on an overall solvency assessment performed on the claims, net of amounts expected to be recovered through disposal of collateral or execution of guarantees.

With respect to the claims on debtors who are likely to become bankrupt or to be closely monitored, and for which future cash flows can reasonably be estimated, the allowance is provided for as the difference between the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the contracted interest rate and the carrying value of the claims.

The allowance for claims on debtors other than those described above is provided based on the historical default rate, which is calculated based on the actual defaults over a certain historical period (the average financing period for DBJ).

All claims are assessed initially by the investment and lending departments and then by the Credit Analysis Department, which is independent of the investment and lending departments based on internal policies for self-assessment of credit quality. The allowance is provided based on the results of the self-assessment.

With respect to the claims on debtors who are legally or substantially bankrupt with collateral or guarantees, the amount of claims exceeding the estimated market values of collateral or guarantees which are deemed uncollectible, have been written-off, and totaled ¥50,887 million ($491,336 thousand) and ¥52,170 million for the six-month period ended September 30, 2008 and for the year ended March 31, 2008, respectively.


(k) Allowance for Investment Losses

“Allowance for Investment Losses” is provided for based on the estimated losses on investments.

(l) Reserve for Employee Retirement Benefits

DBJ has defined benefit pension plans, which consist of a welfare pension fund plan and a lump-sum severance indemnity plan. The “Reserve for Employee Retirement Benefits” represents future payments for pension and retirement benefits to employees and executive directors. Reserve for Employee Retirement Benefits includes the benefits for executive directors in the year ended March 31, 2008, which have been excluded in the six-month period ended September 30, 2008. It is accrued based on the projected benefit obligations and estimated pension plan assets at the six-month period and at year end. The actuarial gains or losses are recognized during the year they arise.

(m) Lease Transactions

Finance leases that do not involve transfer of ownership to the lessee have previously been accounted for using the same method as for operating leases. However, “Accounting Standard for Lease Transactions” (ASBJ Statement No.13, issued on March 30, 2007) and “Implementation Guidance for Accounting Standard for Lease Transactions” (ASBJ Guidance No.16) became effective from the six-month period and the year beginning on or after April 1, 2008, and DBJ adopted them from this period.

The Bank accounts for finance leases that do not involve transfer of ownership to the lessee as Lease assets in “Tangible fixed assets” or “Intangible fixed assets”. Finance lease transactions that do not involve transfer of ownership to the lessee, which commenced before April 1, 2008, are accounted for in the same method as for operating leases.

This change resulted in ¥170 million increase in Lease assets in “Tangible fixed assets”, ¥123 million increase in Lease assets in “Intangible fixed assets” and ¥254 million increase in Lease obligations in “other liabilities”, respectively. As a result, it does not have material impact on the consolidated statements of operations.

(n) Consumption taxes

Income and expenses subject to consumption taxes exclude related consumption taxes paid or received.

(o) Income Taxes

DBJ is exempt from taxes based on income, however, DBJ is subject to parity taxes among local taxes. On the other hand, the consolidated subsidiaries are subject to income and local taxes.

Deferred income taxes are recorded based on differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and those as reported in the consolidated financial statements, using enacted tax rates which will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The asset and liability method is used to determine deferred income taxes.

Other Securities with market value are considered impaired if there is a considerable decline in the market value below the acquisition cost and such decline is not believed to be recoverable. The difference between the acquisition cost and the market value is the loss for the six-month period and the year.

The criterion for determining “Considerable decline in market value” is as follows.

Market value is 50% or more lower than acquisition cost

Market value is 30% or more lower than acquisition cost, and such decline is not considered as recoverable

23. Segment Information

(a) Segment Information by Type of Business

DBJ and its consolidated subsidiaries are engaged in business such as private equity investment and fund management and other activities as well as banking business. Such segment information, however, is not presented, as the percentages of those activities are insignificant.

(b) Segment Information by Geographic Area

Segment information classified by geographic area is not presented, as there are no consolidated subsidiaries or offices located in countries or areas other than Japan.

(c) Ordinary Income from Overseas Entities

Ordinary income from overseas entities is omitted because the amount is below 10 percent of the consolidated ordinary income.

24. Derivative Transactions

1. Details Related to Transactions

(a) Details of Transactions

DBJ utilizes derivative financial instruments, which comprise interest rate swaps, currency swaps, forward foreign exchange contract and credit default swaps.

(b) Policy for Derivative Transactions

DBJ utilizes interest rate swaps, currency swaps and forward foreign exchange contract to reduce its exposure to market risks from fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, and to respond to the customers’ financial needs. DBJ does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

DBJ also utilizes credit default swaps as part of its “acceptances and guarantees on customers’ debt” business within the limit of a certain definite amount of risk.


(c) Risks Involved in Derivatives Transactions

Derivatives involve the following risks:

(i) Market Risk

Potential loss from changes in the market value of financial products due to fluctuations in interest rates or exchange rates.

(ii) Credit Risk

Potential loss from the failure of a counterparty to perform its obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract governing the transaction due to the counterparty’s bankruptcy or deteriorating business conditions.

With regards to derivative transactions for hedging purpose, the market risk on derivatives is offset against the hedged transactions. As for credit risk, DBJ limits the counterparty to financial institutions highly rated by the credit rating agencies, and constantly monitors the cost of restructuring its transactions and creditworthiness of each counterparty. In addition, DBJ transacts with multiple counterparties to reduce credit risk. With regards to credit derivative transactions, DBJ holds credit risk of target debt itself in the transaction.

(d) Risk Management Policies for Derivatives

The Treasury Department enters into and the ALM and Risk Management Department monitors derivative transactions in accordance with the internal management policy, which defines the authorization procedures, including pre-approval by authorized personnel, and limits on derivative transactions. Also, total contract amount, total amount of risk, market value, and total amount of counterparties’ credit risk in the derivative transactions are reported to the directors in charge periodically.

(e) Supplementary explanation on Market Value of Derivatives

It should be noted that ‘Contract Value’ represents nominal contract value or notional principal amount used in determining the value of receipts or payments of interest, but this does not necessarily reflect the risks of derivative transactions themselves.

26. Subsequent Event

Development Bank of Japan Inc. (“DBJ Inc.”) was established on October 1, 2008 as a joint stock corporation under the Development Bank of Japan Inc. Law (Law No. 85 of 2007, as amended) (the “New DBJ Law”). Development Bank of Japan (the “predecessor”) contributed all assets and liabilities to DBJ Inc., in exchange for shares of DBJ Inc.’s common stock, and thereafter, upon transferring such shares to the Japanese Government, the predecessor was dissolved on October 1, 2008.

Except for those assets to be assumed by the Japanese Government pursuant to Article 15, Paragraph 2 of the Supplementary Provisions, DBJ Inc. has succeeded substantially all of the rights and obligations of the predecessor pursuant to the New DBJ Law.


INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Board of Directors of

Development Bank of Japan Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying non-consolidated balance sheets of Development Bank of Japan (the “Bank”) as of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, and the related non-consolidated statements of operations and changes in equity for the six-month period ended September 30, 2008 and the year ended March 31, 2008, respectively, all expressed in Japanese yen. These non-consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these non-consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the non-consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Development Bank of Japan as of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, and the results of its operations for the six-month period ended September 30, 2008 and the year ended March 31, 2008, respectively, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan.

As discussed in Note 20 to the non-consolidated financial statements, Development Bank of Japan was dissolved and Development Bank of Japan Inc. was established on October 1, 2008.

Our audits also comprehended the translation of Japanese yen amounts into U.S. dollar amounts and, in our opinion, such translation has been made in conformity with the basis stated in Note 1. Such U.S. dollar amounts are presented solely for the convenience of readers outside Japan.

Development Bank of Japan

NOTES TO NON-CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying non-consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the accounts maintained by Development Bank of Japan (“DBJ”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, which are different in certain respects as to the application and disclosure requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards.

As consolidated statements of cash flows and certain disclosures are presented in the consolidated financial statements of DBJ, non-consolidated statements of cash flows and certain disclosures are not presented herein in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan.

In preparing these non-consolidated financial statements, certain reclassifications and rearrangements have been made to DBJ’s financial statements issued domestically in order to present them in a form which is more familiar to readers outside Japan.

Except for those assets to be assumed by the Japanese Government pursuant to Article 15, Paragraph 2 of the Supplementary Provisions, DBJ contributed all assets and liabilities to DBJ Inc., which was established on October 1, 2008, pursuant to Article 9 of the Supplementary Provisions of the Development Bank of Japan Inc. Law. DBJ Inc. has succeeded substantially all of the rights and obligations of DBJ. Accordingly, the six-month period ended September 30, 2008 whereas the year ended March 31, 2008.

The amounts indicated in millions of yen are rounded down by omitting the figures less than one million yen. Accordingly, the sum of each amount appearing in the accompanying financial statements and the notes thereto may not be equal to the sum of the individual account balances.

Amounts in U.S. dollars are presented solely for the convenience of readers outside Japan. The rate of ¥103.57=$1.00, the effective exchange rate prevailing as of September 30, 2008, has been used in the conversion. The presentation of such amounts is not intended to imply that Japanese yen amounts have been or could have been readily translated, realized or settled in U.S. dollars at that rate or any other rate.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Securities

Held-to-maturity debt securities are stated at amortized cost with amortization computed, on a straight-line basis, using the weighted average method. Investments in subsidiaries and affiliates are stated at cost computed using the weighted average method. Available-for-sale securities with readily available market quotations are stated at market value (cost is calculated principally using the weighted average method). Other securities without market quotations are stated at cost or amortized cost computed using the weighted average method.

Investments in limited partnerships and other similar partnerships are accounted for at their original cost plus DBJ’s interests in earnings since acquisition and less any dividends received, based on their most recent financial statements. However, regarding certain investments in limited partnerships, assets and liabilities are recorded in proportion to DBJ’s underlying interests based on their most recent financial statements.

Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included in equity.

Securities which are held as trust assets in Money Held in Trust accounts are valued in the same way as other securities.

(b) Valuation Method for Derivative Financial Instruments

All derivative financial instruments are carried at market value. Except for certain derivatives that are designated as hedging instruments as discussed below, gains or losses on derivative transactions are recognized in the statements of operations.

(c) Hedge Accounting

(i) Hedge Accounting

DBJ applies the deferral method of hedge accounting. Foreign currency swaps which are used to hedge the foreign currency fluctuations are not translated at market values but at contractual rates, as the foreign currency swap contracts meet the hedging criteria under the Accounting Standards for Financial Instruments.

(ii) Hedging Instruments and Hedged Items

 

•        Hedging Instruments

   :    Interest Rate Swaps

Hedged Items

   :    Bonds and Notes, Borrowings, and Loans

•        Hedging Instruments

   :    Foreign Currency Swaps

Hedged Items

   :    Foreign currency denominated Loans and Bonds and Notes

(iii) Hedging Policy

DBJ utilizes hedging instruments to hedge interest rates and foreign currency fluctuations on its assets and liabilities within the outstanding asset and liability amounts.


(iv) Evaluation of Hedge Effectiveness

DBJ evaluates the effectiveness of the hedges by testing whether the derivatives are effective in reducing the risks associated with the hedged items.

In regards to both interest rate swap contracts which meet the hedging requirements of the accrual method(*1) and foreign currency swap contracts which meet the hedging requirements of the assignment method(*2) under the Accounting Standards for Financial Instruments at the inception date, DBJ is not required to periodically evaluate their hedge effectiveness.

*1

If interest rate swap contracts are used as hedges and meet certain hedging criteria, the net amount to be paid or received under the interest rate swap contract is added to or deducted from the interest on the assets or liabilities for which the swap contract was executed.

*2

In cases where foreign currency swaps are used as hedges and meet certain hedging criteria, forward foreign exchange contracts and hedged items are accounted for in the following manner;

1) If a foreign currency swap is executed to hedge existing foreign currency assets or liabilities, a) the difference, if any, between the Japanese yen amount of the hedged foreign currency asset or liability translated using the spot rate at the inception date of the contract and the book value of the asset or liability is recognized in the statement of operations in the period which includes the inception date, and b) the discount or premium on the contract (that is, the difference between the Japanese yen amount of the contract translated using the contracted forward rate and that translated using the spot rate at the inception date of the contract) is recognized over the term of the contract.

2) If a foreign currency swap is executed to hedge a future transaction denominated in a foreign currency, the future transaction will be recorded using the contracted forward rate, and no gains or losses on the forward foreign exchange contract are recognized.

(d) Fixed Assets

(i) Depreciation of Tangible Fixed Assets

Tangible Fixed Assets are depreciated using the declining-balance method, except for buildings (excluding installed facilities) that are depreciated on a straight-line basis.

The estimated useful lives are principally as follows:

 

Buildings: 22 years to 50 years

Equipment: 3 years to 20 years

(ii) Amortization of Intangible Fixed Assets

Intangible Fixed Assets are amortized using the straight-line method.

(iii) Lease Assets

Depreciation for lease assets is computed under the straight-line method with zero residual value over the lease term.

(e) Long-lived assets

DBJ reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the continued use and eventual disposition of the asset or asset group. The impairment loss would be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of the discounted cash flows from the continued use and eventual disposition of the asset or the net selling price at disposition.

(f) Bonds and Notes Issuance Costs

“Bonds and Notes Issuance Costs” are charged to income as incurred.

(g) Foreign currency translation and revaluation method

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Japanese yen at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date of the six-month period or the year end.


(h) Allowance for Loan Losses

DBJ provides on “Allowance for Loan Losses” as detailed below pursuant to the internal policies for self-assessment of credit quality and loan losses.

The allowance for claims on debtors who are legally bankrupt, in special liquidation or effectively bankrupt is provided for based on the amount of claims, after the write-off described below, net of amounts expected to be recovered through disposal of collateral or execution of guarantees.

The allowance for claims on debtors who are not legally bankrupt at the moment, but are likely to become bankrupt for which future cash flows cannot reasonably be estimated, is provided for at the amount considered to be necessary based on an overall solvency assessment performed on the claims, net of amounts expected to be recovered through disposal of collateral or execution of guarantees.

With respect to the claims on debtors who are likely to become bankrupt or to be closely monitored, and for which future cash flows can reasonably be estimated, the allowance is provided for as the difference between the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the contracted interest rate and the carrying value of the claims.

The allowance for claims on debtors other than those described above is provided based on the historical default rate, which is calculated based on the actual defaults over a certain historical period (the average financing period for DBJ).

All claims are assessed initially by the investment and lending departments and then by the Credit Analysis Department, which is independent of the investment and lending departments based on internal policies for self-assessment of credit quality. The allowance is provided based on the results of the self-assessment.

With respect to the claims on debtors who are legally or substantially bankrupt with collateral or guarantees, the amount of claims exceeding the estimated market values of collateral or guarantees which are deemed uncollectible, have been written-off, and totaled ¥50,887 million ($491,336 thousand) and ¥52,170 million for the six-month period ended September 30, 2008 and for the year ended March 31, 2008, respectively.

(i) Allowance for Investment Losses

“Allowance for Investment Losses” is provided for based on the estimated losses on investments.

(j) Reserve for Employee Retirement Benefits

DBJ has defined benefit pension plans, which consist of a welfare pension fund plan and a lump-sum severance indemnity plan.

The “Reserve for Employee Retirement Benefits” represents future payments for pension and retirement benefits to employees and executive directors. Reserve for Employee Retirement Benefits includes the benefits for executive directors in the year ended March 31, 2008, which have been excluded in the six-month period ended September 30, 2008. It is accrued based on the projected benefit obligations and estimated pension plan assets at the six-month period and at year end. The actuarial gains or losses are recognized during the year they arise.

(k) Lease Transactions

Finance leases that do not involve transfer of ownership to the lessee have previously been accounted for using the same method as for operating leases. However, “Accounting Standard for Lease Transactions” (ASBJ Statement No.13, issued on March 30, 2007) and “Implementation Guidance for Accounting Standard for Lease Transactions” (ASBJ Guidance No.16) became effective from the six-month period and the year beginning on or after April 1, 2008, and DBJ adopted them from this period.

The Bank accounts for finance leases that do not involve transfer of ownership to the lessee as Lease assets in “Tangible fixed assets” or “Intangible fixed assets”. Finance lease transactions that do not involve transfer of ownership to the lessee, which commenced before April 1, 2008, are accounted for in the same method as for operating leases.

This change resulted in ¥170 million increase in Lease assets in “Tangible fixed assets”, ¥123 million increase in Lease assets in “Intangible fixed assets” and ¥254 million increase in Lease obligations in “other liabilities”, respectively. As a result, it does not have material impact on the non-consolidated statements of operations.

(l) Consumption taxes

Income and expenses subject to consumption taxes exclude related consumption taxes paid or received.

(m) Income taxes

DBJ is exempt from taxes based on income, however, DBJ is subject to parity taxes among local taxes.


3. Securities

Securities as of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008 are as follows:

 

     Millions of yen    Thousands of

Notes:  

1.      Investments in subsidiaries and affiliates included in “Equities” as of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008 are ¥77,584 million ($749,100 thousand) and ¥86,808 million, respectively.

2.      DBJ has contingent liabilities for guarantees of corporate bonds among Securities which were issued by private placement (Article 2 Paragraph 3 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law) and amount to ¥3,280 million ($31,669 thousand) and ¥3,280 million as of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, respectively.

3.      There are no securities repledged as of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, respectively. Securities accepted under repurchase agreements can be sold or repledged. Securities neither sold nor repledged are ¥156,998 million ($1,515,869 thousand) and ¥136,925 million, respectively.

4       Other securities with market value are considered impaired if there is a considerable decline in the market value below the acquisition cost and such decline is not believed to be recoverable. The difference between the acquisition cost and the market value is the loss for the six-month period and the year.

 

The criterion for determining “Considerable decline in market value” is as follows.

 

Market value is 50% or more lower than acquisition cost

 

Market value is 30% or more lower than acquisition cost, and such decline is not considered as recoverable
