As part of the reorganization procedures under the Corporate Reorganization Act, a portion of indebtedness owed by the JAL group to us with respect to such loans and guarantees could become uncollectible. Also, we provide credit insurance underwriting—covering a certain portion of losses, if any, to be incurred by specified financial institutions on their loans to third parties—with respect to certain loans owed by the JAL group.

All of the above loans are collateralized. In addition to the above loans, we have provided loans, with respect to aircraft leases under which the JAL group is the lessee, the aggregate principal amount of which was ¥19,402 million as of January 19, 2010.
