Progress of the Managerial Reinvigoration Plan
 
1. Summary of results for the half year ended September 30, 2001 

(1) Summary of results for the half year ended September 30, 2001 

Net operating profit for the half year ended September 30, 2001 was Y101.5
billion. Although it was the highest level in history, the Bank posted ordinary 
net loss and net loss of Y54.4 billion and Y29.7 billion, respectively, due to 
Y101.3 billion equities-related loss resulting from sluggish stock markets and 
introduction of the new accounting rules requiring evaluation of financial 
assets at market. Disposal of non-performing assets was Y59.6 billion. It 
exceeded the Managerial Reinvigoration Plan (the "Plan") to some extent due to 
the influence of bankruptcy of large companies.

- Expansion in Retail Banking Earnings 

Net operating profit, which is the best indicator of the Bank's profitability,
was Y101.5 billion, up Y24.2 billion from the corresponding period in the
previous fiscal year. It is the highest level in history. Gross operating
profit increased about 10% due to the effect of the restructuring of asset
portfolio and improvement in interest spreads. On the other hand, expenses
decreased by the steady development of restructuring. Especially, expenses
other than IT expenditure were cut down by Y4.8 billion.
 
- Supported by high-quality retail banking assets, actual net operating
profit exceeded Y100.0 billion, the highest level in the Bank's history

(2) Projection of Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2002

- Carrying out a concrete restructuring plan during the "180 Days of Reform"
 
The Asahi Bank is energetically making progress in its preparations for the
management consolidation with the Daiwa Bank Group which will be effected in
March 2002. The Bank has designated the period from October 2001 to March
2002 as its "180 Days of Reform." To become a "Bank that Is Trusted and
Provides Its Customers with the Most User-Friendly Services," the Bank reaffirms
its unswerving commitment to implementation of management reforms. 

The specific themes of management reforms that the Bank is implementing
include principally (l)restructuring the Bank's corporate governance,
(2)restructuring its asset portfolio and (3)restructuring its earning power,
and its aim is to use these 180 days to make every possible advance in carrying 
out the four-year Managerial Reinvigoration Plan. 

The Bank will especially work to achieve at unprecedented speed a "financial
soundness reform"  by radically addressing the disposal of nonperforming loans 
and unrealized losses on stocks held by the Bank, and an "establishment of 
stable earning power" by improving spreads and by reforming cost structures. 
 
1. Restructuring the Bank's Corporate Governance
 
     Quick decision-making under strong leadership

2.Restructuring the Bank's Asset      
    Portfolio 
 
(1) Aggressive disposal of non-performing loans 
    * Acceleration of final disposal of loans classified as unrecoverable or    
      lower in quality  
    * increase reserves with respect to debtors with large exposure 

(2) Aggressive write-offs of unrealized losses on investment stocks
    *Almost all unrealized losses on investment stocks to be amortized
    *Acceleration of selling investments stocks

3.Restructuring the Bank's Earning Power

(1)Improvement of loan margins     
(2)Additional decrease in workforce     
   * Implementation of job transfer support system 
(3)Reform of cost structure 
   *Additional decrease in maintenance and administration cost 

1. Restructuring the Bank's Corporate Governance

To organize a system of new banking group, we restructure the Corporate
Governance as follows. 

1. Renewal of management 
2. Increasing productivity of the organization 
3. Revitalization at the management level 
4. Clarification of the Bank's Management Stance 
 
2. Restructuring the Banks Asset Portfolio
 
(1) Aggressive disposal of non-performing loans 

To eliminate risky elements which reduce the net income, we will place loans
and other assets classified as Risk Claims or lower in quality off the Bank's
balance sheet, and increase reserves with respect to debtor with special
mention focusing large loans.

(3) Projection of Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2002
and its deviation from the Managerial Reinvigoration Plan 

Projection of net operating profit for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2002
is Y190.0 billion, which is the same as the amount under the Managerial
Reinvigoration Plan (the "plan"). 

However, by radically addressing the disposal of non-performing loans and
unrealized losses on stocks held by the Bank, disposal of non-performing loans 
for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2002 will increase by Y300.0 billion from 
the amount under the Plan and equities-related loss for the fiscal year ending 
March 31, 2002 will increase by Y407.3 billion from the amount under the Plan. 

As a result, the Bank projects that it will post net loss of Y520.0 billion
for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2002, Y556.0 billion below net income of
Y36.0 billion under the Plan.                      

The "180 Days of Reform" is a plan which will increase net income in and
after the fiscal year ending March 31, 2003 by removing risks of non-performing 
loans and unrealized losses on stocks held by the Bank, and this plan has been 
structured so that the Bank will be able to recover from the downward deviation 
from the Plan resulting from large net loss projected for the fiscal year ending
March 31, 2002. 

In addition to reduction in the amount of disposal of non-performing loans,
the Bank will establish stable earnings power by improving spreads and by
reforming cost structures. Therefore, the Bank expects to achieve net income
of Y42.0 billion for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2003, which will be the
highest in its history.

2. Progress of the Managerial Reinvigoration Plan 

(1) Progress of managerial rationalization 

The number of directors and corporate auditors as of September 30, 2001
decreased by 6 from the number during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001.
Similarly, comparing the number as of September 30, 2001 to the number as of
March 31, 2001, employees (total) increased by 50, domestic branches
decreased by 14, overseas branches and subsidiaries remained the same. The
number of employees (total) increased but will decrease spontaneously and by
additional reduction planned. 

Comparing the amount for the half year ended September 30, 2001 to the amount
for the half year ended September 30, 2000, personnel expenses decreased by
Y2 billion, non-personnel expenses increased by Y0.6 billion, and a general
and administrative expenses ratio decreased by 6.8 %. 

Totally, the restructuring of each item has been proceeding smoothly.

(2) Progress of Disposal of non-performing assets 

Disposal of non-performing assets (excluding addition to the general reserve
for possible loan losses) for the half year ended September 30, 2001 was
Y55.3 billion, which represents 55.3% of the amount of annual disposal of
non-performing assets planned under the Managerial Reinvigoration Plan (the
"Plan").

under the Plan by radically addressing the disposal of non-performing loans.

(3) Progress of domestic loans 

The amount of increase in loans to medium- and small-sized companies (actual
basis) planned under the Managerial Reinvigoration Plan was Y10.0 billion,
which was based on the assumptions of deteriorating economic conditions and low 
demands for working capital funds. However, because of more serious economic 
conditions than expected, loans to medium- and small-sized companies (actual 
basis) for the half year ended September 30, 2001 decreased by Y176.1 billion.
