2. Overview of General Accounts Asset Management for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2009
(1)Investment Environment The Japanese economy in fiscal 2008 slowed down due to lower exports (which had been the driving force of the
economy) following the global economic deceleration, lower capital investment accompanying worsening
corporate earnings, increased severity of an employment and the negative earnings environment, and
consumer spending declined.
◍ The Nikkei average plummeted due to a sharp decline of US stock prices and yen appreciation following
bankruptcies of major US securities firms. After that, the Nikkei average was stagnant against the
background of worsening corporate results due to the global economic downturn, decreasing by ¥4,416
year-on-year to ¥8,109 at the end of the fiscal year.
◍ The yield rate on 10-year government bonds temporarily rose to 1.9% with concern over inflation, but later
continued to drop to 1.35% at the end of the fiscal year, due to the growing financial crisis originating in
the US, escalating economic downturn, and stronger stance on credit relaxation by the Bank of Japan.
◍ The yen temporarily dropped to ¥110 against the dollar due to rising speculation of an interest rate hike in
the US with concerns over inflation. Later, however, the yen appreciated to ¥98.23 against the dollar at
the end of the fiscal year owing to a flight to the yen amid declining risk tolerance of investors due to the
US financial crisis and other factors. The yen temporarily dropped to ¥170 against the euro due to rising
speculation of an interest rate hike in Europe with concerns over inflation, but significantly appreciated to
¥129.84 against the euro at the end of the fiscal year due to the economic deceleration and rate decrease
policy in Europe amid spreading financial uncertainty in Europe that originated in the US.
(2)Investment Summary
With the decline of stock prices, our general account assets decreased by ¥1,820.6 billion compared to the end
of fiscal year 2007, falling to ¥44,454.3 billion (3.9%decrease compared to the previous fiscal year).
We continued to mainly invest in yen-based interest assets that provide stable interest income. From the
perspective of improving profits in the mid-to-long term, we invested in stocks within the scope of acceptable
risk while taking into account business stability.
・We invested in bonds they provide stable interest revenue and are sound assets.
・Although we increased prime lending, our loan balance has decreased because of a continuing trend of
collections exceeding new lending.
・Given our focus on the medium-to-long term perspective, we managed our domestic stock investment based
on the overall state of returns to investors including corporate profitability and dividends.
・Regarding foreign securities, we sold foreign-currency-denominated bonds based on currency movement.
Also, we increased our balance of foreign bonds that hedge risk of exchange rate fluctuation due to the
smaller difference between internal and external rates following the rate decrease in Europe and the low
level of exchange rate hedge cost.
3 Nippon Life Insurance Company
(3)Investment results Interest and dividend income fell due to a decline in foreign investment trusts and domestic stock dividends,
causing asset management related income to decrease to ¥1,247.0 billion (¥1,352.6 billion in fiscal year 2007).
Asset management related costs were ¥892.6 billion, an increase compared to the previous fiscal year, because
of stock valuation losses following plummeting stock prices and an increase of foreign securities valuation loss
(¥289.8 billion in fiscal year 2007).
As a result, our asset management result decreased by ¥708.2 billion versus the previous fiscal year, totaling
¥354.4 billion.
(4)Managing investment risk
Investment risk, which can be categorized into market risk, credit risk, and real estate investment risk, refers
to a variety of risks associated with investment activities. Because life insurance is a long-term contract, risk
management from a long-term perspective that takes into account liability characteristics is necessary in our
asset management. Nippon Life has established an Investment Risk Management Dept., within its Risk
Management Dept., to comprehensively manage investment risk, thereby thoroughly preparing our system to
manage risk and pursue stable returns while keeping losses within an acceptable range.
a.Market risk
Market risk refers to the risk of losses incurred when the market value of assets in investment declines
due to such factors as fluctuations in interest rates, stock prices, or exchange rates. To manage market risk,
we believe it is important to curb excessive losses for each financing and investment transaction, along
with controlling market risk for our entire portfolio within the acceptable levels.
▥ Implementing investment limits and loss-cut rules
To curb excessive losses on each financing and investment transaction, we have implemented
investment limits and loss-cut rules based on the nature of the assets, and regularly report to the
Risk Management Committee on the status of compliance, along with preparing a system to control
risk to acceptable levels when there is breach of rules.
▥ Measuring and managing market value-at-risk
In addition, to control market risk in our entire portfolio, we use statistical analysis to rationally
calculate market value-at-risk of the portfolio as a whole and conduct appropriate asset allocation
within acceptable boundaries of risk.
4 Nippon Life Insurance Company
b.Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of incurring losses when the value of assets, primarily loans and bonds,
declines or disappears due to deterioration of the financial condition of the party to whom credit has been
extended. We believe that in managing credit risk it is important to examine each transaction rigorously,
set terms appropriate to the level of credit risk involved, and analyze and evaluate accurately every facet of
the risk in the portfolio as a whole.
▥ Managing credit risk in individual transactions
We have built systems for rigorous examinations, involving a Credit Department independent of the
groups handling the lending. To build a sound portfolio, we have established interest guidelines to
ensure the returns we obtain are commensurate with the risk, a system of internal ratings for
classifying the creditworthiness of borrowers, and credit ceilings to ensure that credit risk is not
excessively concentrated in a particular company or group.
▥ Managing credit risk in a portfolio as a whole
We calculate the magnitude of credit risk as credit value at risk using Monte Carlo simulations. By
considering the results in our policy for managing our credit risk portfolio, we keep risk within an
acceptable range.
c.Real estate investment risk
Real estate investment risk refers to the risk of reduced returns caused by factors such as rent fluctuation
as well as losses when real estate values decline due to market deterioration. Our approach to managing
real estate investment risk involves rigorous examination of each investment by a Credit Department
independent of groups actually handling the investment. We have also developed a system involving
warning levels for investment return and price levels, which enables us to focus on specific properties
whose profitability is suffering.
(5)ALM
For life insurance companies to carry out stable management in the long term, it is important to use the ALM
(asset and liability management) approach as a basis for understanding the situation of liabilities that pay
future insurance benefits (policy reserve) and investment assets, as well as for adjusting investment schedule.
We analyze and evaluate ①Liability cash flow ②Risk of falling short of assumed interest rate ③Level of
allowed risk for each product, and decide the medium-to-long-term investment plan at Managing Directors
Meetings and Risk Management Committee Meetings.
(6)Self-assessment and allowance for doubtful accounts
Asset self-assessment refers to evaluating individual assets based on the financial condition of each borrower
and its collateral, and is classified into four categories (Normal, II, III IV).
To ensure the objectivity of self-assessment, we have established a highly reliable framework that includes:
・Strict assessment standards based on the insurance company inspection manual of the Financial Services
Agency
・Internal audit by the Internal Auditing Dept. independent from the groups handling the actual assessment
・External audit by external auditors (certified public accountants)
In fiscal year 2008, we implemented appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts according to the same
allowance standards as the previous fiscal year.
5 Nippon Life Insurance Company
Allowance for doubtful accounts standard
・Allowance for “Normal” borrowers is provided under general allowance for doubtful accounts based on actual
loan losses in the previous fiscal year.
・Allowance for “On caution” borrowers is provided under general allowance for doubtful accounts based on the
accumulated actual loan loss ratio (ratio of losses incurred from loans within three years from a certain date)
for the previous three fiscal years.
Regarding corporate loans to “Substandard” borrowers, we distinguish between the portion that is not
secured by collateral or guarantee and other, and calculate actual loan loss ratio.
・Regarding allowance for “Doubtful”, “Quasi-Bankrupt” and ”Bankrupt” borrowers, the necessary amount,
concerning the balance calculated by subtracting estimated collectable amount based on collateral and
guarantees from total loans, is provided as specific allowance for doubtful accounts. The portion for
“Category IV” is directly deducted from total loans amount.

Basis of Presenting the Non-Consolidated Balance Sheet
1.Securities (including items treated as securities based on “financial product
accounting standards” (Corporate Accounting Standards No.10) and securities within
assets held in trust of deposits and monetary receivables purchased) are valued as
follows:
(1)Trading securities are stated at the market value as of the balance sheet date
(Moving average method is used for calculating cost of sales).
(2)Held-to-maturity debt securities are valued using the moving average method net of
accumulated amortization (straight-line).
(3)Policy-reserve-matching bonds are valued using the moving average method net of
accumulated amortization (straight-line) in accordance with the Industry Audit
Committee Report No.21, “Treatment of Accounting and Auditing for
Policy-Reserve-Matching Bonds Within Insurance Industry,” issued by the Japanese
Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “JICPA”).
(4)Stocks of subsidiaries and affiliates (stocks issued by subsidiaries prescribed in
Article 2 paragraph 12 of the Insurance Business Law excluding subsidiaries
prescribed in Article 2-3 paragraph 2 of the Ordinance of the Insurance Business
Law, and stocks issued by affiliates prescribed in Article 2-3 paragraph 3 of the
Ordinance of the Insurance Business Law) are valued using the moving average
method.
(5)Available-for-sale Securities
①Of securities with market value, stocks (including foreign stocks) are valued by
using the average market value during the period of one month before the
balance sheet date (cost of sales is calculated by using the moving average
method). Others are valued by using the market value on the balance sheet date
(cost of sales is calculated by using the moving average method).
②Of securities without market value, public and corporate bonds (including
foreign bonds), of which the difference between the purchase price and face
value is due to interest rate adjustment, are valued using the moving average
method net of accumulated amortization (straight-line). Others are valued at
15 Nippon Life Insurance Company
the gross moving average amount.
Adjustments to fair value, net of applicable taxes are recorded in a separate
component of net asset.
2.Securities that are held for the purpose of controlling periods outstanding for liabilities
within the sub-groups (insurance type, remaining period, and investment policy) of
insurance products, such as individual insurance and annuity, workers' asset-formation
insurance and annuity, and group insurance and annuity are classified as
policy-reserve-matching bonds in accordance with the Industry Audit Committee
Report No.21, “Treatment of Accounting and Auditing for Policy-Reserve-Matching
Bonds Within Insurance Industry,” issued by the JICPA.
The book value and market value of policy-reserve-matching bonds as of March 31,
2009 amounted to ¥16,704,274 million and ¥17,314,594 million, respectively.
Starting on April 1, 2008, given the need to review the sub-categories of the liabilities
outstanding due to a change in investment policy for bonds, we abolished the
sub-categorizing of guaranteed fixed term rate group annuities and U.S
dollar-denominated single-payment individual insurance, and excluded new fixed rate
variable individual insurance from policies subject to sub-categorization of
yen-denominated single-payment individual insurance.
As a result, a portion of policy-reserve-matching bonds was changed to
available-for-sale securities at the beginning of the period. Compared to the past
method, there were increases in securities of ¥6,640 million and available-for-sale
securities valuation difference of ¥4,001 million and decreases in deferred tax assets
of ¥2,261 million. Also, ordinary income and pretax surplus increased by ¥378
million.
3.Derivative financial instruments are stated at market value.
4.(1)①Tangible fixed assets (except for lease assets related to financial lease where
ownership is not transferred and buildings acquired on or after April 1, 1998)
are depreciated based on the declining balance method. Buildings acquired on or
after April 1, 1998 are depreciated based on the straight-line method.
②Software, which is included within intangible fixed assets, is depreciated based
on the straight-line method.
16 Nippon Life Insurance Company
③Depreciation of lease assets related to financial lease where ownership is not
transferred is based on the straight-line method for the lease term.
(2)The amount of accumulated depreciation for tangible fixed assets is ¥1,063,143
million as of March 31, 2009.
5.Revaluation of the land for operation is performed based on the law related to land
revaluation. The amount related to the valuation difference between the previous and
the revalued amount is tax effected and recognized as “deferred tax liabilities for land
revaluation reserve ” within the liability section. The Valuation difference excluding
tax is recognized as “Land revaluation difference” within the net assets section.
Revaluation Date March 31, 2002
Revaluation Methodology The amount is rationally calculated by using the
land listed value and road rate as prescribed by the
Ordinance clauses 2-1 and 2-4, respectively, which
are the laws regarding land revaluation.
6.Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Japanese
yen using “Accounting Standards of the Business Accounting Council.”
Exchange rates fluctuate significantly, and foreign-currency-denominated and
available –for-sale securities, for which recovery is not expected, are converted to yen
using either the rate at the end of the Balance sheet date or the average rate 1 month
prior to the end of the Balance sheet date, whichever has the weaker yen. This
exchange is recorded under “Loss on valuation of securities”.
7.(1)Allowance for doubtful accounts is recognized in accordance with the Company’s
internal Asset Valuation Regulation and Write-Off/Provision Rule.
①The amount of allowance for loans receivable from creditors who are legally or
substantially bankrupt, such as being bankrupt or being in the process of civil
rehabilitation proceedings is recognized based on the amount of credit remaining
after directly deducting amounts expected to be collected through disposal of
collateral or execution of guarantees from the balance of loans receivable (as
mentioned at (3) below).
②The allowance for loans receivable from creditors who are not currently legally
17 Nippon Life Insurance Company
bankrupt but have high possibility of bankruptcy is recognized on the amounts
deemed necessary considering the borrowers’ overall solvency assessment
within the amounts remaining after deductions of amounts expected to be
collected through the disposal of collateral or the execution of guarantees.
③The allowance for loans receivable from creditors other than the above is
provided based on the borrowers’ balance multiplied by the historical average (of
a certain period) percentage of bad debt.
(2)All credits are assessed by the sections concerned in responsible sections in
accordance with the Company’s Asset Valuation Regulation. The assessments are
verified by an independent Asset Auditing Department. The results of the
assessments are reflected in the calculation of the allowance for doubtful accounts.
(3)The amount of collateral value or the amount collectible by the execution of
guarantees or other methods directly subtracted from the balance of loans
receivable is the estimated uncollectible amount for loans (including loans with
credits secured and/or guaranteed) made to legally or substantially bankrupt
borrowers. The amount recognized in the financial statements is ¥7,196 million
(including ¥6,193 million of credits secured and/or guaranteed) as of March 31,
2009.
8.Accrued bonus for directors and corporate auditors is recognized based on the amount
estimated to be paid.
9.(1)Accrued severance indemnities are provided based on the estimated amounts of
projected benefit obligations in excess of the fair value of pension plan assets for
future severance payments of employees as of the balance sheet date.
(2)Information relating to retirement allowance payments is as follows.
①Breakdown of retirement benefit obligation as of March 31, 2009:
18 Nippon Life Insurance Company
Million Yen
As of March 31,
2009

d. Unrecognized Actuarial Differences 72,322
e. Unrecognized Past Service Cost (6,861)
f. Accrued Severance Indemnities ¥(438,948)
②Basic information for the calculation of accrued severance indemnities is as
follows:
a.Periodical allocation method of estimated
retirement benefit
Straight-line
b.Discount rate 1.6%
c.Expected rate on plan assets 2.5%
d.Method of amortizing actuarial differences Amortization is made over a
certain period (5years) using the
straight-line method within the
average remaining years of
service of employees one year
after the accrual of liabilities.
e. Method of amortizing prior service costs Amortization is made over a
certain period (5years) using the
straight-line method within the
average remaining years of
service of employees upon
accrual of liabilities.
19 Nippon Life Insurance Company
10.Accrued retirement benefit for directors is an estimated payment amount based on
internal rules.
11.Accrued losses from supporting closely related companies is recognized based on the
amount that is estimated to be required in the future for supporting restructurings of
the closely related companies.
12.Reserve for price fluctuations of investments in securities is recognized based on
Article 115 of the Insurance Business Law.
13.In the past, an accounting treatment based on a method related to ordinary lease
transactions was applied to trading financial leases where ownership is not
transferred. Beginning this period, however, the "Accounting Standards of Lease
Transactions" (Corporate Accounting Standards No.13) and "Application Guidelines
for Accounting Standards of Lease Transactions" (Corporate Accounting Standards
Application Guidelines No.16) is applied.
Based on the new methodology, lease assets of ¥160 million and lease liabilities of
¥116 million are recorded, without effect on ordinary income or pre-tax net surplus
for the period April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009. Regarding financial leases where
ownership is not transferred and the lease start date is March 31, 2008 or prior, the
accounting treatment based on the method related to ordinary lease transactions is
applied.
14.Hedge accounting is calculated by following method.
(1)The Company applies the mark-to-market method of hedge accounting mainly for
hedging activities against exposures to foreign exchange rate fluctuations on
certain bonds denominated in foreign currencies. The Company also applies the
special treatment prescribed under the Accounting Standards for Financial
Instruments for interest swap agreements to manage cash flow volatility associated
with interest rate changes on certain loans receivable. In addition, The Company
matches forward foreign exchange contracts and currency swaps with certain
financial assets denominated in foreign currencies.
(2)Effectiveness of hedging activities is mainly evaluated by performing a ratio
analysis of market value movement comparisons based on the hedging instruments
and hedging methods taken, which is in accordance with the Company’s internal
20 Nippon Life Insurance Company
risk management policies.
15.Consumption taxes and local consumption taxes are accounted for by using the tax
exclusion method. However, consumption taxes paid on certain real estate
transactions, which are not deductible from consumption taxes withheld and that are
stipulated to be deferred under the Consumption Tax Law, are deferred as prepaid
expenses and amortized over a 5 year period on a straight-line basis. Consumption
taxes other than deferred consumption taxes are recorded to expense income as
incurred.
16.A policy reserve is a reserve set forth in accordance with Article 116 of the
Insurance Business Law. A policy reserve is recognized by performing a
calculation based on the following methodology:
1.Reserves for contracts subject to the standard policy reserve are computed in
accordance with the method prescribed by the Prime Minister (the ordinance
No.48 issued by the Ministry of Finance in 1996).
2.Reserves for other contracts is computed based on the net level premium method.
Since the fiscal year 2006, additional amounts to the policy reserves have been
made over 5 years to a portion of the individual annuity policyholders. Such
treatment is in accordance with Article 69 paragraph 5 of the Enforcement
Ordinance of the Insurance Business Law. As a result of the adoption of the
treatment, the policy reserve is ¥241,261 million as of March 31, 2009.
17.(1)The total amount of loans of bankrupt borrowers, delinquent loans, loans that
are delinquent for over 3 months and loans for restructuring, which were included
in loans receivable, is ¥43,165 million as of March 31, 2009.
.
①The balances of loans of bankrupt borrowers and delinquent loans are ¥3,415
million and ¥38,426 million as of March 31, 2009.
Loans of bankrupt borrowers are loans, except for a portion of loans
written-down, where the borrowers satisfy conditions prescribed in Article 96
Paragraph 1 Item 3 or Item 4 of the Enforcement Regulations of the Corporation
Tax Law. Interest is not accrued as income since the recovery of principal or
interest on the loans is unlikely due to the fact that the principal or interest
payments are long overdue or for other reasons.
21 Nippon Life Insurance Company
Delinquent loans are loans with interest not accrued excluding the loans of
bankrupt borrowers and the loans to which postponement of interest payment is
made with the object of reconstructing and supporting the borrowers.
②There were no loans that are delinquent for over 3 months as of March 31,
2009.
Loans that are delinquent for over 3 months are loans with principal or interest
unpaid for over 3 months beginning one day after the due date based on the loan
agreement.
③The balance of loans for restructuring, were ¥1,323 million as of March 31,
2009.
Loans for restructuring are loans that provide certain concessions favorable to
borrowers with the intent of supporting the borrowers restructuring, such as by
reducing or exempting interests, postponing principal or interest payments,
releasing credits, and providing benefits to the borrowers. These loans exclude
loans classified as loans to bankrupt borrowers, delinquent loans, and loans
delinquent for over 3 months.
(2)The direct write-down of loans receivable decreased balances of loans of
bankrupt borrowers and delinquent loans by ¥6,000 million, ¥1,196 million as of

Loans that are delinquent for over three months are loans with principal or interest being unpaid for over three months counting from the day after the due date based on the loan agreement (excluding 1) and 2) above). Loans for restructuring are loans that provide certain concessions favorable to the borrower with the intent of supporting the borrower's company restructuring. Examples of such consessions include reducing or exempting interests, postponing principal or interest payments, releasing credits, and providing other benefits to the borrowers (excluding 1), 2) from above, and loans that are delinquent for over three months).4. Normal loans are loans that do not fall under the classifications for 1) to 3)above, and where the obligor has no financial or business performance problems.

The table includes guaranteed private offering loans of financial institution,loans, securities lending, accrued interest, suspense payments, and customers’ liabilities for acceptances and guarantees.* Loans subject to bankruptcy rehabilitation are directly deducted from total loans as estimated uncollectible amounts calculated by subtracting estimated collectable amounts based on collateral and guarantees from total loans. These amounts were ¥7.1 billion for loans subject to bankruptcy rehabilitation as of March 31, 2009; ¥4.8 billion for loans subject to bankruptcy rehabilitation as of March 31, 2008.

Basis of Presenting the Consolidated Balance Sheet
1.Securities of the parent company (including items treated as securities based on
“financial product accounting standards” (Corporate Accounting Standards No.10) and
securities within assets held in trust of deposits and monetary receivables purchased)
are valued as follows:
(1)Trading securities are stated at the market value as of the balance sheet date
(Moving average method is used for calculating cost of sales).
(2)Held-to-maturity debt securities are valued using the moving average method net
of accumulated amortization (straight-line).
(3)Policy-reserve-matching bonds are valued using the moving average method net of
accumulated amortization (straight-line) in accordance with the Industry Audit
Committee Report No.21, “Treatment of Accounting and Auditing for
Policy-Reserve-Matching Bonds Within Insurance Industry,” issued by the Japanese
Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “JICPA”).
(4)Stocks of subsidiaries and affiliates of non-consolidated or non-equity method
(stocks issued by subsidiaries prescribed in article 2 paragraph 12 of the Insurance
Business Law excluding subsidiaries prescribed in Article 2-3 paragraph 2 of the
Ordinance of the Insurance Business Law, and stocks issued by affiliates prescribed
in Article 2-3 paragraph 3 of the Ordinance of the Insurance Business Law) are
valued using the moving average method.
(5)Available-for-sale Securities
①Of securities with market value, stocks (including foreign stocks) are valued by
using the average market value during the period of one month before the
balance sheet date (cost of sales is calculated by using the moving average
method). Others are valued by using the market value on the balance sheet date
(cost of sales is calculated by using the moving average method).
②Of securities without market value, public and corporate bonds (including foreign
bonds), of which the difference between the purchase price and face value is due
to an interest rate adjustment, are valued using the moving average method net of
accumulated amortization (straight-line). Others are valued at the gross moving
41 Nippon Life Insurance Company
average amount.
Adjustments to fair value, net of applicable taxes are recorded in a separate component
of net asset.
2.Securities that are held for the purpose of controlling periods outstanding for liabilities
within the sub-groups (insurance type, remaining period, and investment policy) of
insurance products, such as individual insurance and annuity, workers' asset-formation
insurance and annuity, and group insurance and annuity are classified as
policy-reserve-matching bonds in accordance with the Industry Audit Committee
Report No.21, “Treatment of Accounting and Auditing for Policy-Reserve-Matching
Bonds Within Insurance Industry,” issued by the JICPA.
The book value and market value of policy-reserve-matching bonds as of March 31,
2009 amounted to ¥16,704,274 million and ¥17,314,594 million, respectively. Starting
on April 1, 2008, given the need to review the sub-categories of the liabilities
outstanding due to a change in investment policy for bonds, we abolished the
sub-categorizing of guaranteed fixed term rate group annuities and U.S
dollar-denominated single-payment individual insurance, and excluded new fixed rate
variable individual insurance from policies subject to sub-categorization of
yen-denominated single-payment individual insurance.
As a result, a portion of policy-reserve-matching bonds was changed to
available-for-sale securities at the beginning of the period. Compared to the past
method, there were increases in securities of ¥6,640 million, available-for-sale
securities valuation difference of ¥4,001 million, and decreases in deferred tax assets
of ¥2,261 million. Also, ordinary income and pretax surplus increased by ¥378
million.
3.Derivative financial instruments are stated at market value.
4.(1)①Tangible fixed assets of the parent company (except for lease assets related to
trading financial leases where ownership is not transferred and buildings acquired
on or after April 1, 1998) are depreciated based on the declining balance method.
Buildings acquired on or after April 1, 1998 are depreciated based mainly on the
straight-line method. ②Depreciation of software, which is included in intangible fixed assets, is
calculated based on the straight-line method.
42 Nippon Life Insurance Company
③The straight-line method based on lease period is used to calculate depreciation of
lease assets related to trading financial leases where ownership is not transferred.
(2)The amount of accumulated depreciation for tangible fixed assets is ¥1,112,067
million as of March 31, 2009.
5.Revaluation of the land for operation of the parent company is performed based on the
law related to land revaluation. The amount related to the valuation difference between
the previous and the revalued amount is tax effected and recognized as “deferred tax
liabilities for land revaluation reserve” within the liability section. The Valuation
difference excluding tax is recognized as “land revaluation difference” within the net
assets section.
Revaluation Date March 31, 2002
Revaluation Methodology The amount is rationally calculated by using the
land listed value and road rate as prescribed by the
Ordinance clauses 2-1 and 2-4, respectively, which
are the laws regarding land revaluation.
6.Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Japanese
yen using “Accounting Standards of the Business Accounting Council”.
Exchange rates fluctuate significantly, and foreign-currency-denominated and
available-for-sale securities of the parent company, for which recovery is not expected,
are converted to yen using either the rate at the end of the balance sheet date or the
average rate 1 month prior to the end of the balance sheet date, whichever has the
weaker yen. This exchange is recorded under "Loss on valuation of securities."
7.(1)Allowance for doubtful accounts of the parent company is recognized in accordance
with the Company’s internal Asset Valuation Regulation and Write-Off/Provision
Rule.
①The amount of allowance for loans receivable from creditors who are legally or
substantially bankrupt, such as being bankrupt or being in the process of civil
rehabilitation proceedings is recognized based on the amount of credit remaining
after directly deducting amounts expected to be collected through disposal of
collateral or execution of guarantees from the balance of loans receivable (as
mentioned at (4) below).
43 Nippon Life Insurance Company
②The allowance for loans receivable from creditors who are not currently legally
bankrupt but have high possibility of bankruptcy is recognized on the amounts
deemed necessary considering the borrowers’ overall solvency assessment within
the amounts remaining after deductions of amounts expected to be collected
through the disposal of collateral or the execution of guarantees.
③The allowance for loans receivable from creditors other than the above is
provided based on the borrowers’ balance multiplied by the historical average (of
a certain period) percentage of bad debt.
(2)All credits of the parent company are assessed by the sections concerned in
responsible sections in accordance with the Company’s Asset Valuation Regulation.
The assessments are verified by an independent Asset Auditing Department. The
results of the assessments are reflected in the calculation of the allowance for
doubtful accounts.
(3)For consolidated subsidiaries, these companies allocate amounts deemed necessary
in accordance mainly with their internal Asset Valuation Regulation and
Write-Off/Provision Rule.
(4)The amount of collateral value or the amount collectible by the execution of
guarantees or other methods directly subtracted from the balance of loans receivable
is the estimated uncollectible amount for loans (including loans with credits secured
and/or guaranteed) made to legally or substantially bankrupt borrowers. The amount
recognized in the consolidated financial statements is ¥8,243 million (including
¥6,891 million of credits secured and/or guaranteed) as of March 31, 2009.
8.Accrued bonus for directors and corporate auditors is recognized based on the amount
estimated to be paid.
9.(1)Accrued severance indemnities of the parent company are provided based on the
estimated amounts of projected benefit obligations in excess of the market value of
pension plan assets for future severance payments of employees as of the balance
sheet date.
(2)Information relating to retirement allowance payments is as follows.

the closely related companies.
12.Reserve for price fluctuations of security investments is recognized based on Article
115 of the Insurance Business Law.
13.In the past, an accounting treatment based on a method related to ordinary lease

Beginning this period, however, the "Accounting Standards of Lease Transactions"
(Corporate Accounting Standards No.13) and "Application Guidelines for Accounting
Standards of Lease Transactions" (Corporate Accounting Standards Application
Guidelines No.16) is applied.

Regarding financial leases where ownership is not transferred and lease start date is
March 31, 2008 or prior, accounting treatment based on method related to ordinary
lease transactions is applied.

14.Hedge accounting of the parent company is calculated by following method.
①Parent Company applies the mark-to-market method of hedge accounting mainly
for hedging activities against exposures to foreign exchange rate fluctuations on
certain bonds denominated in foreign currencies. The Company also applies the

Instruments for interest swap agreements to manage cash flow volatility associated
with interest rate changes on certain loans receivable. In addition, The Company

analysis of market value movement comparisons based on the hedging instruments
and hedging methods taken, which is in accordance with the Company’s internal

No.48 issued by the Ministry of Finance in 1996).
②Reserves for other contracts are computed based on the net level premium
method.
