• 8. Business Projections for Full-Term FY2010

Tokio Marine Holdings posted net income of ¥56.4 billion for the current first quarter, which is 49% of the ¥115.0 billion projected for the full term of FY2010. This largely reflects a substantial increase in profits of Tokio Marine & Nichido, which stems from the following factors:: With the decreasing catastrophe loss reserves in auto insurance, we expect a significant amount of provisioning for the full term FY2010, and the effects of this will not become evident during the first quarter. We expect natural disasters to occur after the second quarter. We recognize a significant amount of interest and dividend income for the first quarter. Although we based our projections on the premise that the currency exchange rate would remain unchanged at the end of March 2010, the yen appreciation

• ccurred during the first quarter, which pushed up both underwriting profits and

investment profits. In consideration of the above, we do not plan to change the full-term guidance at the moment.
