The Sumitomo Trust & Banking Co., Ltd. (hereinafter, "Sumitomo Trust") hereby
announces that its forecast for the financial results of the 1st half fiscal
year 2003 ending September 30, 2003 (hereinafter "1HFY2003") is amended as
follows:
1. Amendment of Forecast for Financial Results of 1HFY2003

Change (%) + 148% + 156% + 160% + 167%
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Reason for Amendment
The amendment of Net operating profit (non-consolidated) is mainly due to
increase in profit from market operation of Treasury and financial products
department and net gains on stocks as well as decrease in credit costs. In
addition to those factors, because of the refund of Tokyo Metropolitan
Government's tax on large banks, Net income (non-consolidated) is amended to
upward.
The amendment for consolidated Net operating profit and Net income is due to the
same reason.
3. Forecast for Financial Results of the Full Fiscal Year 2003 (consolidated and
non-consolidated)
The announcement of the amendment of the forecast for the financial results of
the full fiscal year 2003 (consolidated and non-consolidated) is possible in
November 2003 at the release of the financial results of 1HFY2003 subject to
updated assumptions of business condition for the 2nd half of fiscal year 2003.

sale securities -19.8 75.0 N.A. N.A.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(for stocks only) (-63.6) (70.0) (110.0) (-40.0)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(*) Available-for-sale securities include securities other than those held for
trading purposes, namely held-to-maturity securities and stocks of subsidiaries
and affiliates.
(1) Total write-off of other securities amounted to approximately 3.0 billion
yen (approximately 3.0 billion yen for stocks only).
(2) Among "Available-for-sale securities", fair market values of the stocks
whose market values are obtainable in the markets are determined on the basis of
the 1-month-average of their daily closing prices during September 2003 (the
closing month of 1HFY2003), and such market values are also used in determining
write-off of each stock. The standard for write-off that we have adopted is as
follows:
(i) Stocks with fair market values at 50% or less of their carrying costs are
all subject to write-off.
(ii) Stocks with fair market values at 70% of less of their carrying costs are
subject to write-off, if judged as having little possibility of price recovery.
