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

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

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.
