      Agenda  1: Approval of the Stock-for-Stock Exchange Agreement between the Company and Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group, Inc.

 

(1) Reason of the stock-for-stock exchange

 

The reasons of the stock-for-stock exchange between the Company and Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group, Inc. (“MTFG”) are as follows.

 

Since its establishment in 1970, the Company has developed capital and financial systems for a wide range of businesses, including financial companies, and has moved into human resource and payroll-related outsourcing operations. Through its use of information technology (“IT”), the Company has proceeded in innovating its clients businesses, in turn creating new value. As making the best use of IT becomes an essential part of innovating businesses, the Company and MTFG entered into a stock-for-stock exchange agreement, under which the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of MTFG as of December 22, 2004, to further emphasize the Company’s central role in the IT solutions business provided by the Company for clients of MTFG.

 

At the same time, part of the IT solutions business provided to corporate clients of Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi will be transferred to the Company, further strengthening intra-group collaboration within the MTFG group. Furthermore, the Company will form a comprehensive alliance with Mitsubishi Research Institute, Inc. (“MRI”) to strengthen its solution creation and consulting capabilities.

 

By becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of MTFG and by strengthening its alliance with MRI, the Company strives to play a role in creating value for a wide range of clients as an IT solution provider that can combine high-end consulting capabilities with cutting-edge IT development resources.

 

The Company requests consent of the shareholders to this stock-for-stock exchange and their approval of this agenda item.

August 26, 2004

 

Reason for Determining the Stock-for-Stock Exchange Ratio (Copy)

 

Akio Goto, President and Director

Diamond Computer Service Co., Ltd.

Gobancho 4-7, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo

 

Diamond Computer Service Co., Ltd. (the “Company” or “DCS”) has determined the stock-for-stock exchange ratio in respect of the stock-for-stock exchange with Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group, Inc. (“MTFG”) scheduled for December 22, 2004 (the “Stock-for-Stock Exchange”) as set out below.

 

  (i) The Company, prior to entering into negotiations and discussions with MTFG in respect of the stock-for-stock exchange ratio for the Stock-for-Stock Exchange, requested that Merrill Lynch Japan Securities Co., Ltd. (“Merrill Lynch”) analyze a stock-for-stock exchange ratio to be used in discussions with MTFG.

 

  (ii) Merrill Lynch, upon receipt of the request, valuated the companies by carrying out market value analysis, comparative analysis, discounted cash flow analysis, and other analyses Merrill Lynch considered appropriate. Based upon the overall consideration of these analytical results, Merrill Lynch calculated a stock-for-stock exchange ratio for the Stock-for-Stock Exchange and provided the result to the Company.

 

  (iii) As a result of negotiations between the Company and MTFG based on the stock-for-stock exchange ratio provided by Merrill Lynch, the Company and MTFG agreed to propose to their respective boards of directors a stock-for-stock exchange ratio of 0.00135 MTFG common shares to 1 DCS common share (where 0.00135 common shares of MTFG shall be allotted for each common share of DCS).

 

  (iv) The Company approved the stock-for-stock exchange ratio at its meeting of board of directors and entered into the stock-for-stock exchange agreement including the above mentioned stock-for-stock exchange ratio (the “Agreement”) with MTFG as of August 26, 2004.

 

  (v) The Company received an opinion from Merrill Lynch as of August 26, 2004 stating that the stock-for-stock exchange ratio is reasonable for the Company from a financial perspective. Meanwhile, MTFG also received an opinion from its financial advisor, Morgan Stanley Japan Limited, that the stock-for-stock exchange ratio is reasonable for MTFG from a financial perspective.

 

  (vi) The Agreement provides that if any material change occurs with respect to the financial or operating conditions of either MTFG or DCS during the period from the execution date of the Agreement to the date immediately prior to the date of the Stock-for-Stock Exchange, upon consultation between MTFG and DCS, the conditions of the Stock-for-Stock Exchange may be altered or the Agreement may be cancelled.

Opinion of Merrill Lynch Japan Securities Co., Ltd.

 

August 26, 2004

 

To: Board of Directors, Diamond Computer Service Co., Ltd.

4-7 Gobancho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo

 

Diamond Computer Service Co., Ltd. (“DCS”) and Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group, Inc. (“MTFG”) plan to enter into a stock-for-stock exchange agreement (the “Stock-for-Stock Exchange Agreement”) dated August 26, 2004, and, based on the Stock-for-Stock Exchange Agreement, effect a stock-for-stock exchange whereby DCS will become a wholly owned subsidiary of MTFG (the “Stock-for-Stock Exchange”), under which 0.00135 common shares of MTFG (“MTFG Shares”) will be allotted for each common share of DCS (“DCS Shares”) (the “Stock-for-Stock Exchange Ratio”).

 

The following is our response to DCS’s request for our opinion on whether the Stock-for-Stock Exchange Ratio is fair to DCS’s shareholders (excluding MTFG and MTFG’s affiliates) from a financial perspective.

 

In giving the opinion at the end of this document, we took the following actions.

 

(1) Consideration of information that we deemed necessary in forming our opinion from information found in securities reports of DCS and MTFG for the past three fiscal years and other publicly available business and financial information concerning DCS and MTFG.

 

(2) Consideration of information (including financial projections) provided to us by DCS regarding the outlook for DCS and MTFG’s businesses, earnings, cash flows, assets, liabilities, business plans and other matters, the amount of cost reduction and related costs expected to arise from the Stock-for-Stock Exchange, and the timing and synergy effect (the “Expected Synergy Effect”) of such cost reduction and related costs.

 

(3) Discussions with the management and representatives of DCS and MTFG about the matters set out in (1) and (2) above, and the outlook and Expected Synergy Effect on the businesses, business plans and other matters of both companies before and after the Stock-for-Stock Exchange takes effect.

 

(4) Analyses of movements in the market price, the trading volume and the share price multiples of DCS Shares and MTFG Shares, and comparative analyses with similar public companies that we believe are appropriate.

 

(5) Consideration of the performance of DCS and MTFG, and comparative analyses with similar public companies that we believe are appropriate.

 

(6) Participation in some of the discussions among the representatives, financial advisors and legal counsels of DCS and MTFG.

 

(7) Consideration of the potentially foreseeable effect of the Stock-for-Stock Exchange.

 

(8) Consideration of the draft of the Stock-for-Stock Exchange Agreement dated August 23, 2004.

 

8


[Translation]

 

(9) Consideration of other financial investigations and financial analyses and other matters (including our evaluation of the overall economic, market and monetary conditions) that we considered necessary or appropriate.

 

We have prepared this opinion on the assumption that all information provided or otherwise made available to us, discussed with us, considered by us or on our behalf, or that is publicly available is accurate and complete and we have relied on the accuracy and completeness of such information. We have not independently verified such information, nor have we conducted any independent appraisal or valuation of any specific assets or liabilities of DCS or MTFG or had any such appraisal or valuation provided for us. We have not carried out any valuation of the solvency or fair value of DCS or MTFG based on any laws concerning bankruptcy, insolvency or any similar matters, nor have we conducted any on-site inspections of any property or facilities of DCS or MTFG. We have prepared this opinion on the assumption that information and the Expected Synergy Effect regarding financial projections provided by DCS or MTFG or discussed with us by DCS or MTFG are based on reasonable grounds, and that the projected future financial performances and the Expected Synergy Effect of DCS and MTFG reflect the best estimates and judgments available to the management of DCS or MTFG at the time of making such projections. We prepared this opinion on the condition that DCS acknowledges that the Stock-for-Stock Exchange will not be a taxable transaction for DCS, MTFG or their shareholders. Finally, we prepared this opinion on the assumption that the final version of the Stock-for-Stock Exchange Agreement will be substantially the same as the most recent version of the Stock-for-Stock Exchange Agreement (draft) that we considered.

 

In preparing this opinion, we naturally relied on the market, economic and other conditions that were assessable at the time of the date of this opinion, and based this opinion on the information obtained as of the date hereof. We have also prepared this opinion on the assumption that the expected benefits of the Stock-for-Stock Exchange will not be adversely affected by the enforcement of any restrictions, including any cease and desist order, change or revision, in the process of obtaining the consent or approval for the Stock-for-Stock Exchange from any necessary authorities or other parties (regardless of whether such consent or approval is stipulated in the Stock-for-Stock Exchange Agreement).

 

We have not been granted by DCS or its board of directors any authority to, in preparing this opinion, solicit expressions of interest from third parties with respect to acquiring all or part of DCS, nor have we conducted any such solicitation.

 

We are acting as DCS’s financial advisor with respect to the Stock-for-Stock Exchange, and will receive fees from DCS for this service. Further, DCS agrees to indemnify us against certain liabilities that may arise from our involvement. While DCS plans on receiving an investment from Mitsubishi Research Institute, Inc. after this transaction, we have not been employed as DCS’s advisor with respect to this investment and therefore have not included its effect in our evaluation of the Stock-for-Stock Exchange Ratio. We have, with respect to matters other than the Stock-for-Stock Exchange, provided financial advisory services and financing services, including funding services, to MTFG and its affiliates in the past, and will continue to do so in the future, and we have received, and will receive, fees for such services. It is also possible that in the normal course of our business we will frequently trade shares or other securities of DCS or MTFG in our own account or our clients’ account, and we may at any time hold long or short positions in such securities consequently.

 

9


[Translation]

 

This opinion has been prepared for use by the board of directors of DCS and any other internal use by DCS. This opinion does not express our opinion on whether DCS should actually decide to effect the Stock-for-Stock Exchange, nor does it offer any recommendation of any kind to DCS’s shareholders on how they should vote with respect to the Stock-for-Stock Exchange or any related matters (including whether they should exercise the right as dissenting shareholders to request DCS to repurchase their shares).

 

We do not express any opinion whatsoever about the price of the shares of DCS or MTFG that are traded after the Stock-for-Stock Exchange is announced or completed.

 

Based on and subject to the above statements, we believe that as of the date of this opinion, the Stock-for-Stock Exchange Ratio is fair to DCS’s shareholders (excluding MTFG and its affiliates) from a financial perspective.

Explanatory Note

 

Monetary amounts displayed below have been rounded down to the nearest one thousand yen.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

1.    Standards and methods of valuation of securities

 

Investments in subsidiaries and affiliates

At cost based on the moving average method

 

        Other securities

        Securities with fair market value:

At fair market value based on the market price as of the last day of the term (Related valuation differences are directly charged or credited to the shareholders’ equity and cost of securities sold is computed by the moving average method.)

 

        Securities without fair market value:

At cost based on the moving average method

 

2.    Standards and methods of valuation of inventory

 

        Merchandise and works in progress:

At cost based on the specific cost method

        Supplies:

At cost based on the first-in first-out method

 

3.    Method of depreciation of fixed assets

 

        Tangible fixed assets:

Declining balance method

 

Depreciation of buildings and structures of the Chiba Information Center is calculated by the straight-line method. Depreciation of buildings (except for auxiliary equipment) acquired on and after April 1, 1998 is calculated by the straight-line method. Buildings have a useful life of 15 to 65 years, machinery and equipment have a useful life of 6 years, and furniture and fixtures have a useful life of 4 to 15 years.

 

        Intangible fixed assets:

Depreciation of software for internal use is calculated by the straight-line method based on its available period (5 and 6 years). Depreciation of other intangible fixed assets is calculated by the straight-line method.

4.    Accounting for allowances and reserves

 

        Allowance for doubtful receivables:

For the allowance for doubtful receivables such as trade receivables and loans, general allowances are provided for using a rate determined by past bad debts experience and specific allowances are provided for the estimated amounts considered to be irrecoverable after reviewing the collectibility of individual doubtful receivables.

 

15

        Reserve for officer retirement and     other benefits:

To provide retirement and other benefits of officers, an amount equivalent to 100% of the necessary payment for voluntary termination at the end of the term is accounted in accordance with the company bylaws.

Significant Accounting Policies

 

  1. Investments

 

Investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost determined by the moving-average method.

 

  2. Depreciation for fixed assets

 

Depreciation for premises and equipment is computed using the declining-balance method based on the following estimated useful lives. The ranges of estimated useful lives are principally as follows:

 

Leasehold improvements

   3 years to 50 years

Equipment and furniture

   3 years to 20 years

 

Amortization for intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives. Costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 5 years.

 

  3. Deferred charge

 

Organization cost is deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over 5 years pursuant to the Commercial Code of Japan.

 

  4. Reserve

 

A reserve for employees’ bonuses is provided for the payment of employees’ bonuses based upon estimated amounts of the future payments attributed to the current fiscal year.

 

  5. Consumption Taxes

 

National Consumption Taxes and Local Consumption Taxes are excluded from transaction amounts.

 

  6. Consolidated Corporate-tax System

 

MTFG has adopted the consolidated corporate-tax system.

There is no effect on profit (loss) for the current fiscal year or total shareholders’ equity as of the fiscal year end attributable to this change.

Exhibit B

 

Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group, Inc.

Diamond Computer Service, Co. Ltd.

 

Diamond Computer Service to become a wholly owned

subsidiary of MTFG

 

Tokyo, August 26, 2004 — The boards of directors of Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group, Inc. (MTFG; President: Nobuo Kuroyanagi) and Diamond Computer Service, Co. Ltd. (DCS; President: Akio Goto) today resolved to make DCS into a wholly owned subsidiary of MTFG by December 22, 2004 through a share exchange, subject to approval by DCS’s shareholders and the relevant authorities. It was also decided that DCS will enter into a business alliance with Mitsubishi Research Institute, Inc. (MRI, President: Takeshi Yano). Details of these resolutions are as follows:

 

1.    Reasons for making DCS into a wholly owned subsidiary through a share exchange

 

MTFG is promoting a radical restructuring of the Group’s business model through a process of selection and concentration. It is therefore examining the development of a business structure that will strengthen the competitiveness of each of its businesses.

 

Since its establishment in 1970, DCS has developed capital and financial systems for a wide range of businesses, as well as for financial companies, and has moved into outsourcing human resource and payroll-related operations. Through its use of information technology, it enables clients to drive change through their businesses and to create new value.

 

Making the best use of IT is an essential part of transforming businesses. In order to respond quickly to these types of needs in its clients, MTFG aims to reorganize and optimize the organizational structure of the Group’s solution businesses, aiming to broaden the solutions they provide and to stimulate value creation.

 

MTFG has decided to make DCS into a wholly owned subsidiary as a major first step towards this goal. At the same time, MTFG will transfer some of the IT solutions business of The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd.’s corporate clients to DCS, strengthening intra-group collaboration and further clarifying DCS’s central role as the head of MTFG’s IT solutions business.

 

Moreover, DCS will form a comprehensive alliance with MRI. This alliance will create a system that can provide total support for a range of services from management consulting for systems construction, to strategic outsourcing and operations’ systems reconstruction. As well as strengthening its solution creation and consulting capabilities, the alliance will create a structure through which to seamlessly provide effective IT solutions aligned with the needs of its clients.


Exhibit B

 

In specific terms, MRI will take an equity stake in DCS, a representative from MRI will serve as a director of DCS, and the two companies will form a wide-ranging business alliance based on these close investment and management connections. Additionally, the two companies will, in the future, collaborate on comprehensive business development that will include the purchase of additional equity stake in DCS by MRI.

 

By becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of MTFG and by strengthening its alliance with MRI, DCS will, as mentioned above, strive to play a role creating value for a wide range of clients as an IT solutions provider that can combine high-end consulting capabilities with cutting-edge IT development resources.
