1. Business Results
(1) Analysis of Business Results
i) Business Overview
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, the Japanese economy recovered moderately as the global economy
continued to recover, particularly in Asia, with exports on the rise and corporate earnings showing signs of
improvement amid an accommodative financial environment. Corporate capital expenditure, employment, and
incomes appear to be bottoming out, partly due to the economy rebounding sharply after deteriorating in the wake of
Lehman Brothers’ collapse, but overcapacity remains unresolved, which paints a languid outlook for the foreseeable
future.
Harsh conditions persisted in the leasing industry also, reflected in a year-over-year decline in lease transaction
volume, according to statistics released by the Japan Leasing Association, amid a sizeable drop in private-sector
capital expenditure.
Under these circumstances, the Group implemented various measures pursuant to the basic strategies laid out in
its medium-term management plan for fiscal years 2009 through 2011. These basic strategies are to enhance the
Group’s operating base, reinforce its low-cost operating structure, upgrade risk management, and enhance and
strengthen its management base. Implementation of these measures is guided by the medium-term management
plan’s basic policies: (1) Strengthen Group management capabilities to build a corporate foundation that will
surmount changes in the business environment, (2) Gain appreciation from our stakeholders through stable
performance and business growth, and (3) Stress corporate social responsibility through compliance and the
development of strong human resources.
• Enhance the Operating Base
To meet various customer demands relating to operating leases, we have bolstered cooperation between Group
affiliates to promote customer-specific leasing solutions.
We have worked to expand various products and services that dovetail with customer needs, such as offering
customer-specific solutions for various types of equipment, including IT equipment such as PCs, industrial machine
tools, medical devices, transportation equipment, and mechanical equipment for service industries. We have also
strengthened and expanded our Web-based data supply services, which comply with the new lease accounting
standards.
The entire Group worked in unison to strengthen the operating base. Amid declining capital expenditure, we
actively promoted various solutions in high-growth markets with high equipment investment needs, including the
communication and media industries, energy and environment industries, and semiconductor and liquid crystal
industries. These efforts were driven by collaboration between specialized business divisions and our network of
branch offices, and supported by the corporate sales administration division. Additionally, the consortium-based
ESCO (Energy Service Company) project for Okinawa Hokubu Hospital that we participated in was awarded the
2009 Grand Prize for Excellence in Energy Efficiency and Conservation.
We also worked to strengthen our operating base in the Mizuho market by instituting an even more fine-grained,
flexible approach in the aim of bolstering cooperation with Mizuho Financial Group companies.
Fuyo General Lease FY10 Page 4 of 26
We also worked to harness the expertise of affiliates to boost Group earnings power. For example, we continued
to collaborate with Sharp Finance Corporation and Fuyo Auto Lease Co., Ltd.; we worked with local subsidiaries in
the U.S. and Hong Kong to bolster financial services for corporations making inroads into overseas markets; and we
utilized the Tachikawa Reuse Center, run by Fuyo Lease Sales Co., Ltd., to step up sales of used equipment on
which leases have expired.
Despite the market slump, we still secured a number of real estate lease contracts, one of our Group’s fortes, and
we looked at developing new real estate leasing schemes. In our financing operations, we continued carefully
screening prospective deals as a means of limiting our exposure in this area.
• Reinforce Low-cost Operating Structure
In response to financial market stabilization, we worked to improve financing stability and obtain competitive
funding rates on a group-wide basis by increasing the number of financial institutions we deal with, securing an
appropriate level of direct financing, and practicing appropriate asset-liability management (ALM). Sharp Finance
Corporation, a consolidated subsidiary, newly acquired a debt rating and subsequently issued commercial paper for
the first time in December 2009.
We continued to streamline the operations of the Group, including its affiliates. We consolidated sales offices’
back-office operations, expanded the number of organizational units for which back-office operations are insourced,
and took advantage of shared know-how. We also continued transitioning to paperless operations, improved the
operability of our computer systems, and expanded the contracting business of clerical contracting subsidiaries.
• Upgrade Risk Management
Amid sluggish business performance, we worked to upgrade risk management by strengthening various risk
management practices, by adhering faithfully to basic principles when considering deals or making credit decisions,
and by striving to avoid bad debts and minimize bad-debt losses through rigorous credit risk management.
• Enhance and Strengthen Management Base
We maintained and enhanced the framework through which we have thus far ensured reliable financial reporting by
further upgrading and improving our internal control system, which complies with the Financial Instruments and
Exchange Law. We also adapted appropriately to new standards changes, and we enhanced budgetary control by
improving our budgeting and planning processes.
We reinforced compliance on a group-wide basis by ensuring compliance with laws and social standards as well
as by enhancing our training programs on a group-wide basis and periodically holding internal conferences.
We continued to develop a strong human resources base that will support Group management and operations, and
we worked to enhance our personnel development and support system while creating rewarding workplaces.
Additionally, we formulated a new business continuity plan (BCP) to prepare against infectious diseases such as
H1N1 influenza.
We continued to make societal and environmental contributions through our operations. All of our major
consolidated subsidiaries had obtained ISO 14001 certification as of June 2009, when Japan Mortgage Co., Ltd.,
Fuyo General Lease FY10 Page 5 of 26
was approved for inclusion in the scope of our ISO 14001 certification. We also donated emissions credits to the
government and promoted the adoption of eco-vehicles into our fleet of company cars.
Consolidated operating results are as follows.
Consolidated total new executed contracts volume in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, was ¥525,365 million,
down 4.0% year on year, and consolidated operating assets (after subtracting the deferred profit on installment sales)
at March 31, 2010, stood at ¥1,407,392 million, down ¥16,081 million, or 1.1%, from a year earlier.
Consolidated total revenues increased 2.6% to ¥382,042 million, consolidated operating income increased 36.0%
to ¥21,742 million, consolidated ordinary income increased 36.0% to ¥23,636 million, and consolidated net income
increased 14.4% to ¥11,432 million.
As we announced on December 25, 2009, we booked an extraordinary loss of ¥3,350 million in conjunction with
a settlement reached on that date with regard to a lawsuit from Yagami Co., Ltd., on property sale/purchase
payments and other matters.
ii) Segment information
Consolidated results for each segment for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, are as follows. Revenues for each
segment are those from customers, and operating income for each segment is operating income before elimination
and corporate.
Lease
In the lease segment, total new executed contracts volume increased 6.0% versus the previous fiscal year to
¥419,393 million, and operating assets increased 1.0% from the end of the previous fiscal year to ¥1,053,616 million.
As a result, segment revenues increased 4.7% year on year to ¥326,682 million, and operating income increased
11.5% to ¥20,344 million.
Installment sales
In the installment sales segment, total new executed contracts volume decreased 6.5% versus the previous fiscal
year to ¥38,249 million, and operating assets decreased 8.0% from the end of the previous fiscal year to ¥75,823
million. As a result, segment revenues declined 9.2% year on year to ¥39,286 million, and operating income
increased 41.4% to ¥1,739 million.
Loans
In the loans segment, total new executed contracts volume decreased 38.3% versus the previous fiscal year to
¥67,329 million, and operating assets decreased 6.6% from the end of the previous fiscal year to ¥272,745 million.
As a result, segment revenues fell 16.0% year on year to ¥7,973 million, and operating income increased 59.2% to
¥2,765 million.
Fuyo General Lease FY10 Page 6 of 26
Other
In the “Other” segment, total new executed contracts volume decreased 75.5% versus the previous fiscal year to
¥393 million, and operating assets dipped 5.3% from the end of the previous fiscal year to ¥5,205 million.
Nevertheless, segment revenues rose 7.5% year on year to ¥8,101 million and operating income grew 36.2% to
¥4,008 million.
iii) Outlook for fiscal 2011
Looking ahead, although we anticipate the export-driven economic recovery in Japan to continue for the time
being, we expect the economy to lack strength, and a recovery in capital expenditure is still a way off due to the
yen’s strength and concerns about deflation. The leasing industry’s outlook remains murky amid the inclement
operating environment.
Amid such circumstances, we have steadily implemented measures laid out in our three-year management plan,
which was partly revised in response to the recent changes in economic conditions and various trends in the Group’s
operating environment. We remain fully committed to building a corporate foundation allows us to thrive amid
changes in the business environment.
For fiscal 2011, we expect consolidated revenues of ¥400,000 million, an increase of 4.7% compared with fiscal
2010; consolidated operating income of ¥20,000 million, down 8.0%; consolidated ordinary income of ¥22,000
million, down 6.9%; and consolidated net income of ¥11,000 million, down 3.8%. Despite an upward trend in
revenues on the back of firm levels of new lease contracts through previous fiscal year, the lower income forecasts
reflect conservative projections with regard to bad debt-related expenses.
(2) Financial Position
i) Assets, liabilities, and net assets
Operating assets at the end of fiscal 2010 (March 31, 2010), were down 1.1% from the end of the previous fiscal
year (March 31, 2009) to ¥1,407,392 million, and total assets decreased 1.4% from the end of the previous fiscal
year to ¥1,670,931 million. Interest-bearing debt decreased 3.5% from the end of the previous fiscal year to
¥1,434,033 million.
Total shareholders’ equity increased 11.2% from the end of the previous fiscal year to ¥96,955 million due to the
retention of earnings. Net assets at March 31, 2010, were up ¥15,077 million, or 15.4%, from the end of the previous
fiscal year to ¥113, 089 million.
ii) Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of fiscal 2010 (March 31, 2010) were ¥78,514 million, a decrease of ¥18,858
million from the end of the previous fiscal year (March 31, 2009). The breakdown of cash flows is as follows.
Cash flows from operating activities
Operating activities used net cash of ¥597 million, compared with ¥69,911 million in the previous fiscal year.
Fuyo General Lease FY10 Page 7 of 26
Despite income before income taxes of ¥20,605 million, a decrease of ¥25,148 million in lease receivables and
investment assets, and a decrease of ¥22,213 million in operating loans, the net outflow mainly reflects ¥60,820
million used for the purchase of leased assets and a ¥41,929 million decrease in lease obligations.
Cash flows from investing activities
Investing activities used net cash of ¥7,994 million, compared with cash used by investing activities of ¥31,993
million in the previous fiscal year. Outflows included ¥1,029 million in purchases of own-used assets and ¥6,205
million in purchases of investment securities.
Cash flows from financing activities
Financing activities used net cash of ¥10,333 million, compared with cash provided of ¥191,832 million in the
previous fiscal year. Outflows included a ¥17,500 million net decrease in commercial paper, ¥123,141 million in
repayments of long-term loans from banks and other financial institutions, a net decrease of ¥54,400 million in
payables under securitized lease receivables, and ¥54, 736 million in repayments of payables under fluidity lease
receivables and installment sales trade receivables. Cash was mainly provided by ¥144,303 million in proceeds from
long-term loans from banks and other financial institutions and ¥89,929 million in proceeds from payables under
fluidity lease receivables and installment sales trade receivables.
(3) Basic policy on the distribution of earnings and fiscal 2010 and 2011 dividends
The Group’s basic policy is to increase shareholders’ equity to create a resilient management base and a stronger
financial position, while returning profits to shareholders through continuous payment of a stable dividend over the
long term, taking into consideration operating results, targeted performance indicators, and other factors.
Going forward, the Group will use retained earnings to fund the acquisition of quality operating assets and in
other ways to strengthen its management base. While adhering to the aforementioned policy, the Group is
determined to look positively at distributing earnings in line with operating results to reward shareholders for their
support and to meet their expectations.
In accord with the above policy, we have declared a year-end dividend of ¥31 per share for fiscal 2010, up ¥4
from our forecast of ¥27per share. We thus plan to pay an annual dividend (including the interim dividend) of ¥58
per share, up ¥4 from the previous fiscal year.
We plan to pay a total annual dividend for fiscal 2011 of ¥58 per share (comprising an interim dividend of ¥29
and year-end dividend of ¥29 per share).
(4) Risks in Business Operations
Listed below are the main factors that could pose a risk to the development of the Group’s business and have a
significant impact on the decisions of investors.
Forward-looking statements appearing here represent management’s judgment at the time of announcement of this
release. The following is not an exhaustive list of all the risks that could affect an investor’s decision to invest in the
Company’s shares.
Fuyo General Lease FY10 Page 8 of 26
i) Impact of Capital Expenditure Trends and Other Changes on Business Results
Lease transactions and installment sales, which are the businesses of the Group, are two means by which
customers finance capital expenditures. While there are temporary discrepancies, the amount of private-sector
capital expenditure and lease capital expenditure are closely correlated. The Group is focusing on expanding its
operating foundation and increasing contracts by making various proposals mindful of customer diversity and latent
needs. Nevertheless, the Group’s business results could be affected by trends in corporate capital expenditures.
ii) Impact of Credit Risk on Business Results
The Group works to maintain and improve the quality of its assets by strictly managing credit risk to minimize
losses caused by counterparty bankruptcy and other occurrences. However, credit is extended to counterparties over
the medium to long term, with lease agreements averaging around five years. Therefore, bankruptcy of
counterparties during the credit period could make it difficult to collect lease rent and other money associated with
some assets that are subject to credit risk.
The Group quantitatively evaluates credit risk and provides adequate reserves in each fiscal period. For this, the
Group conducts self-assessments of its assets in accord with standards applied by banks and other financial
institutions and based on Industry Audit Committee Report No. 19, “Temporary Treatment for Accounting and
Auditing of Application of the Accounting Standards for Financial Instruments in the Leasing Industry,” issued by
the Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants (JICPA).
In accord with this self-assessment, the group calculates allowances for doubtful accounts. The Group sets aside a
general allowance for estimated losses based on past bad debt experience as well as specific allowances calculated
based on the ability to collect individual accounts. The entire of the combined total of the general allowance and
specific allowances is recorded in the allowance for doubtful accounts.
However, an increase in the risk of collection due to deterioration in counterparties’ business as a result of the
economic environment and future changes or other developments could necessitate the provision of additional
allowances for doubtful accounts to counter the increase in credit risk. This could adversely affect the Group’s
business results.
iii) Impact of Changes in Interest Rates and Financing on Business Results
The Group procures the funds to purchase properties for leasing or installment sales to customers mainly from
financial institutions and markets, and therefore business results could be affected by future interest-rate
fluctuations.
Because of its sound financial standing, the Company has obtained good ratings from multiple credit rating
agencies. However, if a rating agency downgrades the Company’s rating or announces it is considering a downgrade
due to deterioration in our finances or other factors, it would be difficult for the Company to procure necessary
funds because access to commercial paper and other preferred financing methods would be limited. The Company
would also be forced to borrow from banks at higher interest rates than would normally apply. Ultimately, this could
adversely affect the Company’s business results.
Fuyo General Lease FY10 Page 9 of 26
The Company watches interest rate movements and strives to manage such risks appropriately by constantly
monitoring the gap between asset management and financing, controlling risk associated with interest rate
fluctuations (market risk), and holding Asset-Liability Management Committee meetings, where policies on future
funding activities are discussed.
iv) Competition in the Leasing Industry
There has been a decline in recent years in the number of companies engaged in leasing operations as industry
restructuring has progressed. Nevertheless, there are still 265 member companies of the Japan Leasing Association
(as of April 1, 2010), making for a harsh competitive environment in the leasing industry in Japan.
The Company work to improve its price-based competitiveness through stable, low-interest financing and optimal
financing patterns, with a focus on securing strong financing. Concurrently, the Company is focusing on
value-added services that contribute to greater convenience for customers. Through these actions, the Company is
working to set itself apart from other companies and to enhance its competitiveness. However, intensification in
competition could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business results.
v) Impact of Changes in Regulatory Systems on Business Results
The Group operates businesses that are subject to laws, tax regulations, accounting standards, and other
regulatory systems currently in effect. The Group’s business results could be affected by significant changes in these
systems.
vi) Other Business Risks
A number of other business risks could also affect the Group’s business results. Without limitation, these include
administrative risk from inadequate business processing; systems risk such as the risk of breakdown or malfunction
of computer systems used extensively in executing business operations; residual value risk, the risk that the initially
estimated residual value of a leased asset is lower than expected for whatever reason; price fluctuation risk, the risk
of a decline in the value of investment securities holdings; and compliance risks that may result in penalties and/or
loss of social credibility if the laws and standards are not adhered to.

Target figures for the final fiscal year of the plan, ending March 31, 2011, and actual results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 are as follows. Consolidated account item FY2010 Actual FY2011 Targets
1 Operating assets ¥1,407.4 billion ¥1,470.0 billion
2 Shareholders’ equity ¥97.0 billion ¥106.0 billion or higher
3 Shareholders’ equity ratio 6.0% 6.5%or higher 4 ROA 1.4% 1.4%or higher Note: 1. Consolidated shareholders’ equity = common stock + capital surplus + retained earnings + treasury stock 2. ROA = Ordinary income / Total assets (3) Company Medium-term Management Strategies and Pressing Issues The three-year management plan ending on March 31, 2011 calls for us to focus on the following basic strategies. i) Enhance Our Operating Base Restructure the operating base and create products that respond to changes in the environment The need for leased equipment is firmly embedded in the IT equipment market. While rebuilding our management base in this market, we intend to enhance outsourcing and related services through our unique Internet-based data service, FLOW, develop transaction schemes and products geared to increasingly diverse customer needs and various changes in the environment, and implement other such initiatives to enhance and strengthen our management base.
Fuyo General Lease FY10 Page 11 of 26
We also intend to boost efficiency at the Tachikawa Reuse Center, run by Fuyo Lease Sales Co., Ltd., and improve earnings power by selling used equipment on which leases have expired and other means. Strengthen business with small and medium-sized companies We will intensify sales efforts in the retail market through collaboration with Sharp Finance Corporation, and we will continue working to increase business from outstanding small and medium-sized companies, with chief emphasis on Mizuho Bank’s corporate customers. Strengthen specialized business divisions and promote greater cooperation with branch offices We will continue stepping up efforts in markets where capital expenditure is anticipated, and we plan to utilize our specialized business divisions’ expertise and our network of branch offices to actively promote solutions geared to market changes. We also aim to expand incoming information flows by strengthening cooperative ties with sales channels in the Mizuho market in pursuit of high-quality deals. Through such means, we aim to more efficiently expand our operating base. Strengthen real estate leasing We will devote even greater effort to real estate leases, one of our strategic products, as well as actively develop new leasing schemes. In our financing operations, we will continue to focus primarily on high-quality deals. Enlarge business domains by developing and bolstering products and services In the aim of boosting consolidated earnings, we will continue bolstering our fee businesses, enhance cooperation with consolidated subsidiaries in Japan, including Fuyo Auto Lease and Sharp Finance Corporation, and work with overseas subsidiaries to provide financing support for corporations making inroads into overseas markets. We also intend to expand the Group’s business domains by continuing to develop new products and investigate possible entries into new businesses, as well as through M&As. ii) Reinforce Low-cost Operations We seek to secure stable financing and cost-competitive funding rates on a consolidated basis. With this objective in mind, we will endeavor to appropriately balance the objectives of maintaining financing stability and obtaining more cost-competitive rates, and we will also enhance and strengthen our asset-liability management (ALM) practices.
We will continue to streamline and lower costs associated with sales-office clerical work, promote paperless operations, and adopt various IT tools. We will also implement various measures in each of our management departments to promote efficiency of internal Group operations. iii) Upgrade Risk Management We intend to upgrade risk management through measures that include the following. We will strengthen credit risk management as a consolidated group to prevent bad debts from arising and minimize bad-debt losses from those that do occur, and we will constantly review and improve operating/management frameworks and procedures related to the various risks that we face, including by enhancing our business continuity plans for disasters and other emergencies. iv) Enhance and Strengthen Management Base In addition to ensuring reliable financial reporting by improving and enhancing our internal control system, we will respond appropriately to standards changes and the introduction of new standards and work to enhance budgetary control.
We take seriously the improper actions that we disclosed on December 25, 2009. Based on investigations into the cause of the incident, we have devised measures to prevent recurrence and will spare no effort in implementing them. To ensure rigorous compliance, we will further intensify efforts to ensure that our actions do not contravene corporate ethical and social standards.
To further enhance and strengthen our management base, we will enhance our personnel and training programs in the aim of developing a strong human resources base that will support Group management and operations, and we will continue striving to make societal and environmental contributions through our operations.

5. Additional Information Valuation standard and valuation method for securities
Of other investment securities previously recorded as “securities with fair values” based on information obtained from financial institutions, some have been reclassified as “securities without fair values” because fair value information became unavailable from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, and it was not practicable for the Company to reasonably estimate those securities’ fair values.
Bonds and other such securities without fair values are accounted for pursuant to calculation methods used for balance sheet obligations.
As a result, operating income for the “Other” segment decreased by ¥112 million.
