FACTORS ACCOUNTING FOR THE DECLINE IN THE CAPITAL ADEQUACY RATIO As of March 31, 2003, the consolidated capital adequacy ratio of Resona Holdings stood at 3.78%, a substantial decline of 4.95 percentage points from the end of the previous period and below the 4.00% required under Secondary Standards (Domestic Standards) for bank capital adequacy ratios. Although Resona Holdings increased its capital by ¥194.6 billion through the issuance of preferred securities and common shares during the fiscal year under review, the Group’s capital adequacy ratio declined, owing to a number of factors. These included (1) the substantial reversal of deferred tax assets by Resona Bank, following a strict reevaluation of these assets, (2) the write-down of the carrying value of securities at Group banks accompanying the decline in stock prices, and (3) the increase in creditrelated costs arising as problem exposure was cleared from the balance sheet and as the DCF RESONA HOLDINGS, INC. 12 Method was applied to calculate the appropriate level of loan loss reserves under more stringent critieria.
