The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit
obligation, and fair value of plan assets for the pension plans
with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets
were ¥709,881 million ($5,915,675 thousand), ¥650,339

($3,081,475 thousand) as of December 31, 2002.
Directors and certain employees are not covered by the
programs described above. Benefits paid to such persons and
meritorious service payments are charged to income as paid,
since amounts vary with circumstances, and it is therefore not
practicable to compute the liability for future payments.
