Message from the President

Thank you very much for your continued support.In order to further increase your understanding of our company, we have created “DAISHI REPORT 2016,” and we would be grateful if you would give it a read.

We have set forth the evolution of the consulting function as the most important tactic of Step-Up 2nd Stage, the medium-term business plan that was started from FY2015, based on which we are implementing measures aimed at sustainable growth together with the region through contributions to the achievement of regional revitalization.

Specifically, we are strengthening our organizational structure including the establishment of a Local Revitalization Promotion HQ to support the achieve-ment of regional comprehensive strategy by each municipality in the prefecture while actively pursuing activities in order to broadly support the needs of customers, including cooperation with each municipal-ity to promote the use of unoccupied houses and moving, holding business panels in cooperation with other financial institutions, and technology proposal meetings with prefectural companies aimed at major manufacturers from other prefectures.

In the field of agriculture that is one of the core indus-tries of Niigata Prefecture, we have supported the establishment of six of nine qualified agricultural

business entities established in Niigata City that is designated as a special agricultural district; established the Daishi Food and Agriculture Growth Support Fund, and provided financial support for various efforts aimed at strengthening the competitiveness of food and agriculture in Niigata.

In the sales channel, we worked to expand our branch network through means such as the opening of the Nagaoka Nishi Loan Center in August 2015 and the opening of the Tokyo Minami Sales Office in April 2016. The Tokyo Minami Sales Office supports the expansion of sales channels by Niigata customers into the Tokyo metropolitan region by serving as a bridge between companies from Niigata Prefecture and companies from Tokyo, and by fulfilling a consulting function through means such as business matching.

In addition, we have actively pursued measures aimed at regional revitalization through financial products. With the “Future Support Private Placement Bond” that we began handling from 2013 which uses a portion of bond issuance fees for the donation of supplies such as books to regional schools jointly by the issuing company and our bank, over 230 donations have been made up until now. During FY2016, in addition to this “Future Support Private Placement Bond,” we newly established the “Regional Revitalization Private Place-ment Bond” with bond issuing companies that donates a portion of bond issuance fees to Niigata Prefecture and municipalities. We also handle the “Regional Revitalization Support Fund” that provides financial support for initiatives leading to regional revitalization, and we will continue to expand initiatives aimed at regional revitalization through financial products going forward.

Our bank will even further strengthen industry, govern-ment, academia, finance, labor, and media coordina-tion going forward and fulfill a consulting function in order to contribute to the achievement of regional revitalization.We ask for your continued support.July 2016

Deposits increased mainly among customers making deposits in Niigata Prefecture, and the deposit balance (including negotiable certificates of deposit) as of March 31, 2016 was 4,563.4 billion yen.

As a result of actively responding to the financial needs of customers, the loan balance as of March 31, 2016 was 2,961.2 billion yen.

Although this must be at least 4% based on the Japanese domestic standards adopted by the Bank, the ratio is over 10% on both a non-consolidated and consolidated basis, and accordingly a high degree of soundness continues to be maintained.

An “AA-” rating (long-term issuer rating) has been acquired from Japan Credit Rating Agency (JCR) and an “A2” rating (long-term deposit rating) has been acquired from Moody’s.

The balance of nonperforming loans based on the Financial Reconstruction Law (assets subject to disclosure under the Financial Reconstruction Law) as of March 31, 2016 was 57.3 billion yen, and the ratio of nonperforming loans was 1.88%.The head office and sales offices are working together to provide customers with management improvement support.

Deposits increased mainly among customers making deposits in Niigata Prefecture, and the deposit balance (including negotiable certificates of deposit) as of March 31, 2016 was 4,563.4 billion yen.

As a result of actively responding to the financial needs of customers, the loan balance as of March 31, 2016 was 2,961.2 billion yen.

Although this must be at least 4% based on the Japanese domestic standards adopted by the Bank, the ratio is over 10% on both a non-consolidated and consolidated basis, and accordingly a high degree of soundness continues to be maintained.

An “AA-” rating (long-term issuer rating) has been acquired from Japan Credit Rating Agency (JCR) and an “A2” rating (long-term deposit rating) has been acquired from Moody’s.

The balance of nonperforming loans based on the Financial Reconstruction Law (assets subject to disclosure under the Financial Reconstruction Law) as of March 31, 2016 was 57.3 billion yen, and the ratio of nonperforming loans was 1.88%.The head office and sales offices are working together to provide customers with management improvement support.

 In order to provide wide support for the development of high added value in the agriculture and food industries that are the core industries of Niigata Prefecture and which can expect further growth, we are conducting investments in sixth sector industrialization projects through the Daishi Food Industry Revitalization Fund jointly established with the Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Fund Corporation for Innovation, Value-chain and Expansion Japan, and we have also independently established the Daishi Food and Agriculture Growth Support Fund in order to offer speedy support to a broad range of businesses that will lead to increased competitiveness for the region.

 By providing timely information in response to changes in the environment by holding seminars, we actively implement measures that effectively support the growth of our customers. Some of the themes of the seminars held are listed on the right.

We resolve issues and support revitalization in accordance with the characteristics of the region so people can live secure lives

【 PPP/PFI 】PPPs (public private partnerships) and PFIs (private finance initiatives) aim to provide efficient and effective public services through joint projects by the public and private sectors in order to develop public facilities and infrastructure.Through means such as holding seminars, information and know-how is shared between three parties that consist of local public bodies, private sector businesses, and financial institutions, while through means such as introduction support for local public bodies and participation support and finance offerings for local businesses we will create a framework that enables the flow of funds within the region.

【 UIJ turn support 】

 We provide wide opportunities for business matching in order to support the expansion of sales and procurement channels for customers, including the Food Eco-Plus! Niigata Food, Environment, and Health Exhibition Meeting that is the largest exhibition and business meeting in the prefecture, as well as individual business panels with JR East Group companies and highway service area and parking area operators. By holding the Food Eco-Plus! event that was held in March 2016 jointly with the Niigata Shinkin Bank Association, we provided an opportunity for business discussions with even more customers in the prefecture. Furthermore, for the purpose of increasing the number of people that come into the prefecture, we invited 11 tour companies from outside the prefecture, and opportunities were provided to promote tourism, such as dedicated booths staffed by local governments in the prefecture that offered tastings of local foods, etc.

 We offer a full support program from advance preparations to commencement of overseas transactions for companies in the prefecture that are looking to newly expand into overseas markets. With this program, in addition to a variety of seminars, we offer a program that corresponds to the individual needs of customers looking to expand overseas, including proposals on business panels, market research and sales channel development support, and support for payment settlement and hedging risks.

 The Bridge Niigata exhibition and business talks space operated in Nihonbashi, Tokyo is being used as a venue for local governments to make an appeal for the UIJ turn movement (moving back from the big city to your local region). In addition, Bridge Niigata is also a venue for cooperation with local governments for distributing information related to moving promotion and the utilization of unoccupied housing.

 In an effort to promote moving to Niigata Prefecture and the utilization of unoccupied houses in order to revitalize the region, we have entered an Agreement on Moving Promotion and Unoccupied House Utilization with local governments in Niigata Prefecture. Furthermore, in order to increase the effectiveness of this initiative we have newly launched the Sumai no Kakehashi (Housing Bridge) loan in partnership with the Japan Trans-housing Institute.

In consideration of public nature of the banking industry and in order to be able to continue providing to shareholders returns in the future, our policy for returns to shareholders is a basic policy of continuing to provide stable returns to shareholders while giving consideration to the increase of internal reserves in order to strengthen the earnings base.

We work to develop working environments that support the values of diversifying employees and allow each and every employee to work in a vibrant and lively manner while performing to the best of their ability.

 For yearly paid holidays, we promote the acquisition of holiday through the establishment of various systems including continuous leave, season leave, power-up leave, and anniversary day leave, and the creation and management of holiday acquisition plans. In addition, in order to control long working hours and promote effective and well-balanced working styles, we regularly hold Bank-wide early work completion campaigns such as Bank-wide no overtime days and sales office no overtime days, and we also promote the use of the morning work system as part of efforts to revise working styles in order to achieve further improvements in productivity and reduce overtime work.

Creating Friendly Working Environment and Revising Working Styles

 As a Niigata Prefecture Model Business for Low Fertility Countermeasures we work to support a balance between both work and child raising. Specifically, we work to support reinstatement at the workplace, improve awareness of a work-life balance, and enhance various programs that include assistance with transportation costs and babysitting costs for research observer participation while on childcare leave and the presentation of child product gift certificates to employees that have acquired childcare leave.

Selected as a Niigata Prefecture Model Business for Low Fertility Countermeasures

 We received the Niigata Labor Bureau Director’s Excellence Award in the Family Friendly Company Category of the FY2015 Excellent Equal Opportunity / Work and Family-Life Balance Promotion Companies Award in recognition of our various initiatives related to support for a balance between work and child care or nursing care, including the development of child care and nursing care leave systems that go beyond statutory requirements.

 Our policy for returns to shareholders is a basic policy of continuing to provide stable returns to shareholders while giving consideration to the increase of internal reserves in order to strengthen the earnings base, and we aim for a rate of return to shareholders of about 40%, combining dividends and the acquisition of treasury shares. Going forward we will work to improve ROE mainly by strengthening net income as we aim for an ROE of at least 5% over the medium to long term.

Governance Structure

 In order to establish a strong reputation and a high level of trust from all of our stakeholders including customers, the local community, and shareholders, we recognize improving our financing soundness and profitability along with the strengthening and enhancement of corporate governance as important management issues, and accordingly we are working to enhance the auditing and monitoring of management and to improve transparency.

Basic Stance

Corporate GovernanceGovernance

Risk Management StructureGovernance

 The Bank’s basic policy of risk management is to stably secure profits corresponding to risk and plan the appropriate distribution of management resources by accurately assessing and appropriately managing risks, and by then auditing this process. Organizationally, under this basic policy, Daishi Bank assigns specific jurisdiction over responses to each type of risk to specific sectors to respond to various types of risks, while establishing a Management Administration Division that understands and manages risk comprehensively, cutting across organizational boundaries. The Audit and Inspection Division (internal audit department), which is separated from the sectors it audits and under the direct control of the Board of Directors, conducts rigorous audits of the general sweep of bank operations, testing the appropriateness and effectiveness of Daishi Bank’s internal-control provisions. Specifically, Daishi Bank has instituted a number of committees to oversee risk management. The Risk Management Committee supervises risk management and advances organizational restructuring for the entire bank. The ALM Committee measures and analyzes risk, with the aim of controlling risk and securing stable revenues, and the Compliance Committee pursues business management that thoroughly complies with laws and regulations. These committees are also attended by audit and Supervisory committee members and held once a month as a general rule. These committees work in concert to address and resolve a wide range of risk-related issues through means including reports to the Board of Directors, etc., on matters decided as necessary. Under the risk-management system described above, For the purpose of ensuring financial soundness and using capital efficiently, Daishi Bank maintains sound control of its assets and conducts effective risk allocation, ensuring that assets are invested prudently for the effective management of risk capital. In addition, we have established a crisis management structure that included the formulation of a Basic Policy on Business Continuity that prioritizes the continuity of important operations in the event of an unexpected occurrence that would make it impossible to continue business, such as an earthquake or other major disaster, or the outbreak of a disease such as new strains of influenza.

Guided by our mission and adhering to our corporate ethics, we are establishing a thorough compliance framework through the development and execution of a practical compliance program.

In operations, all directors and employees understand both the letter and spirit of the code of conduct regulated by the Japanese Bankers Association. The directors and employees of Daishi Bank work together to apply the code of this charter with common principles of conduct.

Through training and awareness-raising exercises, we build and instill a strong ethical consciousness and compliance-oriented mindset in our employees. We also work hard to develop systems for checking business execution processes, and strengthening measures to prevent compliance violations and other problems.

We appropriately verify, evaluate, and report the status of compliance and of the implementation of our compliance program. We make every effort to discover issues early and solve them promptly, with effective measures for correction of problems and prevention of their recurrence.

Four basic principles

The Compliance Committee, whose activities are linked closely with management, meets in principle once a month to discuss important issues and the status of efforts on compliance. In addition, the Compliance Supervision Office, established within the Management Administration Division as a supervisory department, plans compliance measures, monitors the status of compliance at each office, supports each Head Office division, and offers guidance on compliance issues to each branch.

Headquarters System

The manager of each Head Office division and office serves as the compliance supervisor for each respective division, while the second-highest ranking position is appointed as the legal check supervisor. Furthermore, an Office Compliance Committee has been established in each office to prevent and conduct early detection of compliance issues and consider and formulate recurrence prevention measures.

System in Head Office Divisions and Offices

Our Compliance Manual is distributed to all of our directors and employees, and is used in joint training sessions and in compliance seminars held in our offices and branches. We are strengthening our practical training curriculum, which includes e-learning sessions to test knowledge and understanding of major relevant laws, regulations and ordinances, and also includes group discussions and case studies. These are helpful in broadening employee awareness of compliance issues, and ensuring they remain vigilant about such matters.
