| Research Abstract |
This research focused on disposal of problem loans, based on Financial Revitalization Law, that Japanese main banks have and then analyzed Japanese main bank system and an interlocking shareholding among banks and companies. Specific research results are as follows. First, an extraordinary loss that problem loans have can be theoretically justified to write down under generally accepted accounting principles in Japan.

Focusing on evaluation issues of marketable stocks, I concluded that the more efficient Japanese capital market was, the more important adequate accounting disclosure. This improvement of accounting disclosure rules will further contribute to keep the efficient capital market in Japan. Fifth, economic consequences about mandated writing-off of real estate for sale were examined. This accounting procedure has not been effective yet, but a lot of companies adapted voluntarily the procedure as one of popular business practices. Finally, dysfunction of interlocking shareholding in terms of accounting evaluation issues was indicated. This unique system, i.e. interlocking shareholding among banks and companies, is valuing their stocks unfairly. This improvement would lead to the problem that an eclipse of its business custom and the appropriate operation of the capital market will challenge Japanese unique management strategies. For these reasons, these research results will further increase the need and interest of research. Less
