Note:
1.  Loans in Bankruptcy and Practical Bankruptcy and Doubtful Loans

(a) As for the categories as of June 2003 and December 2003, the Bank
    reclassified the debtors who exhibited significant financial
    deterioration or improvement during 1st or 3rd quarter.
    Example of significant financial deterioration and improvement;

    --  Deterioration: Failed repayment, negative networth or a
        significant sales decline, in addition to bankruptcy and bills
        dishonored, etc.

    --  Improvement: Substantial increase of revenue or profit, etc.

(b) The figures as of June 2003 and December 2003 are before write-off
    and cash reserve, and do not reflect the changes in the
    liquidation estimate of collateral. However, the amount of
    collection and sales to third parties during the quarter is taken
    into account.

2.  Substandard Loans

(a) As for this category as of June 2003 and December 2003, the Bank
    revised the figures by identifying debtors who had been classified
    either in "Special Mention" or "Ordinary" category at the end of
    March 2003 and September 2003 respectively, but thereafter became
    3-month overdue or given mitigation to terms and conditions of
    loans during 1st or 3rd quarter.
