13. Shinkin International12 Shinkin International Ltd Shinkin International Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of Shinkin Central Bank) was established in London in 1990 as an overseas base for securities business. The main goals of the company are to arrange and place private EMTN draw-downs, to trade secondary eurobonds and to provide broad investment opportunities. These activities are driven by the combined requirements of  Shinkin Central Bank  individual banks among the extensive shinkin network (approximately 80% of shinkin banks have bought EMTNs)  other investors in Japan and elsewhere. We are regulated in the UK by the Financial Services Authority.

15. Shinkin International14 Analysis of Deal History Shinkin International Limited has been successfully arranging MTNs for Japanese wholesale investors since 1996. Deal flows built up to a peak in 2002 and the early part of 2003 but a drop in the number of deals being called has made it more difficult to sell structured notes since then. Significantly higher deal numbers and volumes achieved in 3 of the past 4 years due to bullet transactions which are now mostly vanilla.

16. Shinkin International15 Analysis of Deal History JPY has always been our most important issuance currency since many of our investors only have domestic operations in Japan. Extended marketing coverage in 2004 resulted in more USD flow but activity now limited by investor funding constraints. EUR deals executed in 2005 due to some exceptional bullet investments. Proportion of callable business has declined since 2003 and last year accounted for just 14% of the total amount issued (but still 40% in terms of the number of transactions executed).

17. Shinkin International16 Analysis of Deal History – Risk Weight Historically a majority of issues have been for 20% risk-weighted entities, but since 2006 we have executed a significantly higher proportion of trades with 50% and 100% risk-weighted Japanese entities. Until Q4 2008 0% risk-weighted issuance mostly comprised structured callable deals - since then vanilla government guaranteed bank debt has been more important. *Basel I methodology until 2006, Basel II thereafter

18. Shinkin International17 Analysis of Deal History – Products In the early 2000s the majority of trades were callable Step-Up Reverse Floaters and Power Reverse Dual Currency bonds but in 2004-7 structures became notably more diverse. In the past two years volumes have been dominated by vanilla flows. PRDC and Nikkei-linked issues are normally for small amounts but until Q4 2008 still generated a significant proportion of fee income. Although many Step-Up Reverse Floaters are now getting called, in the current climate there is little expectation of an early return to structured investment.

19. Shinkin International18 Analysis of Deals Executed in 2008 A successful year in difficult circumstances with business dominated by relatively large JPY- denominated vanilla issues. Structured issuance remained an important component of deal flow until September with Reverse Dual Currency structures most favoured. Little demand for JPY Step-Up Reverse Floaters despite increase in call ratio towards the end of the year as interest rates fell. Non-JPY investments prevented by higher wholesale funding costs. More buyback requests received than normal but only 5 issues were fully or partly redeemed.

20. Shinkin International19 Issuers Placed In total Shinkin International has arranged MTNs for 204 different issuers since 1996. For the majority of these issuers we provide regular financing - in 58% of cases 3 or more transactions have been executed and there are 9 issuers benefitting from over 40 completed trades. Since 1999 we have added an average of 19 new issuers every year.

21. Shinkin International20 Issuers Placed – Geographical Distribution 50% or 100% risk-weighted short-dated vanilla issuance for Japanese entities currently accounts for the majority of our executed business but we are still seeing demand for non-Japanese credits. Approximately 42% of all our issues have been arranged for the core European countries of Germany, France and the Netherlands plus the UK. A total of 291 trades into Canada and Luxembourg executed with only 12 entities. *Location of parent if subsidiary

24. Shinkin International23 Current Investment Trends Our wholesale investors have maintained good JPY liquidity from domestic savings accounts throughout the credit crunch but have been very selective about making EMTN investments. Up until 9/7/09 demand concentrated on vanilla issues by government guaranteed banks, government related AAA issuers and Japanese credits (only 3% of trades were callable structures) – these included several large tickets that boosted average deal size. But, following the sharp tightening of credit spreads for top-quality credits, investors are beginning to execute structured deals again (inverse floaters and reverse dual currency in particular). Although there are still difficulties in executing underlying derivatives we believe this trend will continue – many bonds called in H1 2009 have not yet been replaced by investors. Overall bond turnover at Shinkin Banks has recovered from the depressed levels experienced in 2006-7 (see graphs). JPY100 Million Source: Japan Securities Dealers Association
