This interim report is designed to deepen your understanding of the Mizuho Financial Group ("MHFG") by explaining about our performance and policies. Interim Results for Fiscal 2001 Our results for the first half of fiscal 2001 reflect the extremely harsh economic and market environment. While the effects of economic deceleration in the United States spread to Europe and Asia, business conditions in Japan deteriorated further and the deflationary trend intensified.

Through this structure, we have worked actively to respond to our customers' ever diversifying sophisticated needs, while seeking to improve our business performance through further management rationalization measures. Another priority has been to improve the soundness of our assets as quickly as possible. To this end, we have implemented stricter self-assessments and worked to promote the final disposal of non-performing loans ("NPLs"). As a result, our interim consolidated total income came to ¥2,791.1 billion, total expenses to ¥3,193.7 billion and net loss to ¥264.6 billion. Business Reinforcement Program Toward the reorganization of DKB, Fuji Bank and IBJ, which is scheduled for April 2002, we compiled the “Business Reinforcement Program” in order to rapidly strengthen our financial soundness and quickly realize the benefits of the consolidation. 3 Specifically, we will work toward a substantial strengthening April 1, 2002.

From the perspective of sound management, we have decided to suspend interim dividends on common and Masao Nishimura Chairman & Co-CEO preferred stocks because of the exceptionally difficult economic and market situation, and extreme uncertainty about the future. Furthermore, as for the year-end dividend, we regret that we currently plan to reduce the annual dividend for fiscal 2001 to ¥3,500 per common stock in view of enhancing financial strength.
