Notes to the financial statements 1. Comments on business activity and staff numbers General Mizuho Bank (Switzerland) Ltd is an internationally active financial institution. The company, domiciled in Zurich, is active as a bank as well as a securities broker. The total number of staff is, after part-time adjustment, 25 (previous year 24). The following business activities are conducted by the Mizuho Bank (Switzerland) Ltd. Balance sheet activities Interest related activities are an important source of revenue for Mizuho Bank (Switzerland) Ltd. Global Wealth Management continued to be the core business of the bank. In the private banking business, loans are usually granted against collateral. Commercial loans are granted against or without collateral. Interbank business is conducted mainly within the short-term range. Long-term financial requirements are covered when necessary in the capital market. The bank holds a strategic portfolio of securities with a short- to mid-term investment horizon in its financial investment. Trading Mizuho Bank (Switzerland) Ltd offers the execution and processing of all common banking transactions to their customers. Commissions and service activities The major part of the commission and service business is derived from portfolio management, fiduciary deposits, payments as well as securities and derivative trading for customers. Additionally, Mizuho Bank (Switzerland) Ltd renders services in asset management and the management and administration of investment funds. The services are utilized by private and institutional customers. Risk management The credit and market risk policy, which are examined by the bank's management annually for its suitability, form the basis for the risk management. Explicit limits are set for individual risks and their observance is constantly monitored. The responsibility for risk control is separated on a management level from the responsibility for the trading department. The management is regularly informed by means of a level-adequate management information system (MIS) about assets, financial situation, liquidity and earnings as well as the associated risks. Risk assessment The Board of Directors has discussed the material risks of the institution at the meeting on 13 September 2011 and determined adequate measures. We refer to following remarks for specifications of the related risks. Credit risks All commitments from which a loss can develop, if counter parties are not able to fulfill their obligations, contain credit risks. Credit risks are limited by means of diversification of risks, quality requirements and coverage margins. For credit approval process, where the creditworthiness and financial capability is judged, a risk-oriented authorization order exists. The appropriate periodic efficient monitoring of credit risks during their entire lifetime is examined with continuous control of the recoverability of the collateral. For the measurement and management of credit risk, the bank classifies its assets in a four level rating system. With this system the risks can be better estimated when granting a loan and the average possible losses in the future can be taken into consideration in determining the conditions for the individual counterparty. Interest rate risks The risks of interest rate changes from in-balance and off-balance positions are supervised and managed by the ALM-committee of the bank. The control is based on the market interest method and focuses on the net present value of the own capital. Based on these fundamentals and from compiled interest forecast, the ALM-committee decides regularly over hedging measures to be taken. As hedging instruments options, futures and interest rate swaps are available. There were no hedge positions during the reporting year. Other market risks The further market risks, which mainly contain position risks from foreign currencies, are restricted with limits. The positions are controlled on a daily basis. Liquidity risks The liquidity is supervised and ensured in the context of the banking related legal regulations. Own positions of the bank are examined regularly for tradability. Operational risks Operational risks are defined as "dangers of direct or indirect losses, caused by the inadequacy or the failure of internal procedures, people and systems or of external events". They are limited by internal regulations and guidelines for organsation and control. The internal audit examines the effectiveness and the adequacy of the internal control system on a regular basis and reports directly on its work to the board of directors. Compliance and legal risks The Compliance Officer ensures that the business activity is in compliance with the actual regulatory requirements and the exercise of due diligence of a financial intermediary. This position is responsible for the examination of requirements and developments on the part of the supervisory authority, the legislator or other organizations. In addition it ensures for the fact that the instructions and regulations are observed and kept up to date with regulatory developments. Page - 10 -

2. Accounting and valuation policies Basis of presentation The provisions on accounting, recording and valuation contained in the Swiss Code of Obligations, the Federal Law on Banks and Savings Banks and its Ordinance, the statutory regulations as well as the guidelines of the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authorities FINMA are adhered to. The financial statement conveys an appropriate picture of the total assets, the financial situation and earnings of the bank in agreement with the accounting regulations in effect for banks and securities brokers. Recording of Transactions Business transactions are recorded in the balance sheet of the bank at the trade day and are evaluated starting from this time for the profit and loss calculation. Foreign currency translation Transactions in foreign currencies are booked at the respective daily foreign exchange rates. Monetary net assets are converted on balance sheet date to the respective current foreign exchange rate and exchange differences are booked in profit and loss accordingly. Differences of the exchange rates between the conclusion of the business and its fulfillment are booked in profit and loss. The following exchange rates were used: Current year Previous year Yearend rates average Yearend rates average USD 0.9026 0.8824 0.9146 1.0124 EUR 1.2041 1.2131 1.2968 1.3367 GBP 1.4445 1.4067 1.4673 1.5732 JPY 1.0954 1.1185 1.1048 1.1825 General valuation principles The detailed positions stated in the balance sheet are evaluated individually (individual valuation). The assets and liabilities in foreign currencies as well as positions for exchange transactions are evaluated at the middle rates applicable as at balance sheet date. Liquid assets, liabilities The balances are capitalized at nominal value. Due from banks The balances are capitalized at nominal value and at cost values respectively less individual value adjustments for assets at risk. Loans (Due from customers) Loans at risk, i.e. loans on which it is improbable that the debtor can fulfill its future obligations, are evaluated on an individual basis and the deterioration is covered by individual value adjustments. Off-balance transactions, like fixed acceptances, guarantees or derivatives of financial instruments, are also included in this evaluation. Lendings are classified as doubtful at the latest if the contractually stipulated payments for principal and/or interest are overdue for more than 90 days. Interest, which is due for more than 90 days, is considered as overdue. Overdue interest and interest, whose receipt is doubtful, are not recognized as income, but are assigned directly to the value adjustments and provisions. Lendings are accounted as non interest bearing, if the receipt of the interest is doubtful in such a manner that the accruals are not considered reasonable anymore. The individual value adjustments are set off directly from the corresponding asset positions. The impairment is measured by comparing the difference between the book value of the receivable and the presumable actual value with consideration of the counterparty risk and the net proceeds from the sale of any collateral. If a receivable amount is classified as totally or partly irrecoverably or a renouncement is granted, the write-off of the receivable takes place by debiting the appropriate value adjustment. Recoveries from receivables written-off in former periods are credited directly to the value adjustments for credit risks. Financial investments Bonds acquired with the intention of being held up to final maturity are evaluated according to the Accrual method. The agio and disagio of the balance sheet position respectively will be accrued for the remaining period until final maturity. Realized profits or losses from premature sale or repayment will be accrued for the remaining period, i.e. until original final maturity. Provided that they are lasting and material, depreciations and subsequent increases in value related to changes of the credit-worthiness of the securities are stated under "Other ordinary expenses" and "Other ordinary income" respectively. Page - 11 -

Fixed assets If investments into new fixed assets are used for more than one financial period and exceed the minimum of the capitalization limit, they are capitalized and evaluated in accordance with the acquisition value principle. During the subsequent evaluation, fixed assets are stated by their acquisition value, less the accumulated depreciations. The depreciations take place as planned over the estimated useful life of the fixed assets. The intrinsic value is checked on an annual basis. If the result of this check shows a change in the useful economic life or deterioration, the net book value will be depreciated over the remaining useful economic life or an extraordinary depreciation will be made. Scheduled and possible additional extraordinary depreciations are booked through profit and loss in the position "depreciation of fixed assets". If the reason for the extraordinary depreciation is omitted, an appropriate write-up takes place. The estimated useful economic life for individual fixed assets categories are as follows: - other fixed assets 10 years max. - software, IT and communication installations 5 years max. Realized profits from the sale of fixed assets are booked through "extraordinary income", realized losses through "extraordinary expenses". Pension plan Mizuho Bank (Switzerland) Ltd maintains pension plans for its local staff. These pension plans are defined contribution plans. The liabilities from the pension plans as well as the assets serving as coverage are separated into legally independent trusts managed by insurance companies. Organization, management and financing of the pension plans are in line with the laws, the charters of foundations as well as the valid pension plan regulations. Taxes Current taxes are recurring, usually annual income taxes and taxes on capital. Unique or transaction-referred taxes are not a component of the current taxes. Current taxes on the earnings of the financial period are calculated according the local fiscal profit accounting regulations and stated as expenses of the financial period, in which the appropriate profits result. From the current profit owed direct taxes and the taxes on capital are booked as accruals in liabilities. Contingent liabilities, irrevocable commitments, deposit and additional payment obligations The information shown in the off-balance sheet is stated at nominal value. For foreseeable risks provisions are established in liabilities of the balance sheet. Valuation adjustments and provisions For all recognizable loss risks individual value adjustments and provisions are established according to the caution principle. Value adjustments and provisions that are economically no longer necessary in an accounting period will be liquidated through profit and loss. Individual value adjustments are deducted directly from the corresponding position of the assets. Individual value adjustments and provisions for other risks are stated under this balance sheet position. Derivative financial instruments Regarding the business principles and risk management, reference is made to the explanations on the business activities. The evaluation of all derivative financial instruments of the bank takes place to the fair value. They are accounted as positive or negative replacement values under "other assets" and "other liabilities" respectively. Fair value is based on market prices, price quotation of brokers, discounted cash-flow or option price models. Realized and unrealised gains from transactions with derivative financial instruments, which are entered for trading purposes, are stated in the position "income from the trading operations". Accounting and valuation policies The accounting and valuation policies have not been changed compared to the previous year. Page - 12 -
