Our corporate vision is “creating harmony between people and technology.” How do we do this? By providing technologically-sophisticated tools that are natural to use and people-friendly. Anyone can use them.

In the 1980s we pioneered the development of cordless and battery-free pen tablets – a brand new way of working that opened up fresh, creative possibilities. Graphic artists around the world immediately prized the pen tablet’s user-friendly interface and versatility. To this day, the pen tablet is an absolute must-have in the world of graphics.

We did not stop there. We thought, “What if you could draw directly on to a computer screen?” Our interactive pen displays enable users to do just that. These products are now hugely popular in many business fields as well as graphical applications, including medical firms, educational institutions, financial companies and those enterprises that need more natural and interactive ways to use computers.

We then looked at how we could make life better for mobile users. We incorporated our sophisticated components into smart phones and computers so that handwriting and finger touch operations are available during meetings and web communications. These technologies make people able to enjoy not only creating but also consuming content more naturally and intuitively than ever before. We more recently delivered stylus pens and an original note taking application to respond to market demand in the UI area.

Our pen tablets continue to be adopted into new application fields, and we are committed to the ongoing development of exciting new technologies. Our aim is to revolutionize both the workplace and the home with our natural user interface technology. We’re looking forward to seeing where this takes us. It’s going to be an exciting journey.

Firstly, please let me express our sincere appreciation for your unchanging support to Wacom during FY29. The year was full of unexpected business risks, but thanks to your support, Wacom could manage them and grew the business successfully. We are pleased to present Wacom’s Annual Report for our 29th fiscal year, representing the results from April 1, 2011 through March 31, 2012.

Under our corporate vision of “creating harmony between people and technology”, we have been serving the world with natural, intuitive and human-friendly user interface solutions to help our customers. We are proud that our products serve a wide range of professional users around the world in creating 3D films and games, auto designs, as well as medical and education solutions, etc. Also, our products are used by a wide range of consumer users at home who enjoy creativity and sharing with friends. Our technology is helping to create new category products such as Smartphones, e-Books and tablet devices.

In the spirit of our brand concept “Open up. Sense more.”, Wacom will continue to pursue making natural user interface solutions to support human creativity and for enriching life.

How did we do in our 29th fiscal year?We started FY29 with unprecedented business risks caused by the earthquake in Japan. During the fiscal year our business was also affected by other risks such as the flood in Thailand, European credit crisis and economic slowdown in emerging countries as well as rapid appreciation of the Japanese Yen. Our business in FY29 was marked with the test of our resiliency against business risks and unfavorable market environments.

In our branded product business, while managing supply chain risks, we successfully developed and launched new generation products in professional and consumer product lines, and continued to grow our digital signature products in financial markets. We also expanded our numbers of users in mobile segments by introducing new category products such as “Bamboo Stylus” , an accessory type pen for iPad, “Bamboo Paper” , a note-taking application for iPad, as well as “Inkling” , a pen for digital sketching.

In our component business, revenue grew significantly with the mass production and shipment of pen components for “Samsung Galaxy Note” Smartphone. The traditional tablet PC business and e-Books grew steadily as well.

For supporting the growth and for mitigating business risks, we also invested in development of the SCM organization in China, establishment of a key component supply base in China and stated the operation on a new ERP system.

As a result, for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012, we recorded net sales of ¥40,706 million (up 23.2%), operating income of ¥4,067 million (up 25.1%), ordinary income of ¥3,892 million (up 15.7%) and net income of ¥2,181 million (up 10.9%).

Where are we heading in our 30th fiscal year?For our 30th fiscal year we expect to see a slow recovery of the global economy, mainly lead by emerging markets. However the growing uncertainty from European credit risk and economic slowdown on a global scale will continue to be lingering risk factors. Japanese Yen will stay strong as Euro uncertainty remains. U.S. and other key counties continue to stimulate the economy. In the IT industry Smartphones and tablet-type devices will establish themselves as the new mainstream IT platforms and start impacting the PC industry.

During FY30 we will continue to enhance our global leadership through new technology developments, new products for professionals, consumers and business users. Also we will expand our brand awareness among general consumer users through new pen products and applications for tablet-type devices such as iPad.

In our component business, we will strive to establish the leadership in Smartphone and Windows 8 based tablet devices, as well as building a foundation for touch component segments. In the area of business infrastructure development, we will enhance the SCM organization for component business and ERP support for Asia Pacific countries.

Taking into account our business outlook and necessary investments for the future, we project net sales of ¥50,400 million (up 23.8%), operating income of ¥5,600 million (up 37.7%), ordinary income of ¥5,570 million (up 43.1%), and net income of ¥3,600 million (up 65.0%) based on the assumed exchange rate of ¥75 per 1 US dollar and ¥100 per 1 EURO for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013.

We regret that the mid-term business plan of WP-1015 that targets net sales of ¥100 billion and operating income over 15% by the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014 will not be achievable within the original time frame. Taking into account the rapidly changing market environment, the result in FY30 and high volatility in currency exchange rate, we will need to revise the mid-term plan. For FY30, we will focus on achieving our financial target and improving our ROE while maintaining the ongoing risk measures.

Your dividendTo thank you for your support and in reflecting the financial result for the fiscal year, we offered an ordinary dividend of ¥3,000 per share to our shareholders as of March 31, 2012. While we will manage the financial base carefully, we intend to continue stable dividend payouts and take other investor return measures as we see fit.

Our message to youAs the IT industry shifts toward natural and intuitive user interface solutions, we see a wide range of new opportunities ahead of us. We are committed to enhance our corporate value through the development of leading user interface technologies, global product and market leadership, investment in global talents and investment in business infrastructure while improve efficiency and profitability. We take our social responsibility seriously and continue to improve our corporate governance and culture of compliance.

Your support is invaluable and is essential to our continuing success. We thank you very much again for your unchanging support.

Dive to digital content creation with Wacom’s redefined Intuos 5

Wacom introduced a new ink communication with Bamboo Stylus and Bamboo Paper

Where are we now?

Wacom’s pen technologies sharpened the edge of Samsung’s innovation in GALAXY Note

Samsung adopts a pen sensor system of Wacom’ s component business for their premium smart phone, GALAXY Note. GALAXY Note features the combina-tion of 5.3 inch size Organic EL display and S pen with our digital pen solution which can be stored in a slim body less than 1 cm in thickness. This model is highly acclaimed by users and has become a worldwide hit, selling as the first smart phone that provides natural and intuitive pen input. Not only was it a hit at the start of sales in Europe in October 2011 but also at its next markets in Asia, U.S., and Japan.The pen-input interface is supported by Google and adopted in Android 4.0 OS as a standard. As a result, increasing numbers of memo writing apps and ink communication tools with a digital pen will contribute to the further sales expansion of our component busi-ness into smart phones and tablet-type devices.

Cintiq 24HD was unveiled for creative professionals seeking the ultimate pen interactive display

Cintiq 24HD was launched in October 2011 as the high-end model for LCD pen tablets. It has instantly gained a favorable reputation among the film industry which continues to progress in 3D production and the automobile industry which highly values natural and intuitive industrial design tools. In the Cintiq 24HD, Wacom delivers a host of features such as the ergonomically designed counter-weighted stand, easy access to the Touch Ring, shortcut and modifier Express Keys to enhance workflow and user comfort, toppe d o f f by Wacom’ s mos t rea l i s t i c pen technologies ever which include sophisticated pressure sensitivity, etc.Since its launch, favorable sales continued beyond the Company’ s expectation and signif icantly contributed to the sales expansion of its Professional Tablet Business for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

Dur ing March 2012, Wacom redef ined In tuos fo r professional graphics users and unveiled its latest new model in almost three years called Intuos 5. It includes not only existing pen technologies such as 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity, minimum activation pressure of less than 1g and 40 degrees of tilt control but also has superior new features of multi-touch gesture support. These new features allow intuitive input to zoom, scroll, pan and rotate digital content, plus an express view, a Heads-Up Display (HUD) that displays the current setting on the PC screen without being distracted by the input device. In addition, Wacom offers wireless connectivity by installing the wireless accessory that charges through USB and bundled graphics applications to meet various user’ s needs and expand its sales potential even further.

Wacom launched Bamboo Stylus for iPad in May, 2011 as a new product field. The design, ergonomics and natural feel of the Bamboo Stylus brought potential demands to iPad uses for a premium pen writing and sketching experi-ence. It demonstrated favorable sales growth so a hand-writing application called Bamboo Paper, which allows iPad users to create and share ideas visually with notes and sketches, was also offered to iPad users in June 2012 and recorded over 3 million downloads worldwide by the end of March 2012. Following the successful launch of the original Bamboo Stylus, Wacom added various new types such as 5 colored bodies or a dual-purpose model with built in ball-point ink pen and aims to open up new fields.

Throughout the world, our professional product range is unrivalled and acknowledged to be the industry standard with our unique technology, high perfor-mance and quality. Intuos is highly acclaimed by professionals who create inspirational movies, anima-tion, games, digital art, and web designs. Cintiq series, interactive displays providing the freedom to work with the pen directly on screen, enjoy a global reputation for offering high productivity to many professionals from photographers to car designers. Inkling digital sketch pen captures a digital likeness of your work while you sketch with its ballpoint tip on any sketchbook or standard piece of paper.

Professional products

manufacturing at its finest, then you are missing out on some quality enertainment. There are a variety of spirited characters that work for Orange

County Choppers (OCC) on the show including Jason Pohl, lead designer for the OCC team. Jason, a Wacom Cintiq user for close to a decade,

enjoys the intuitive and natural feel of designing directly on screen with the Cintiq’s pressure-sensitive pen along with creative applications such

as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and others. Says Jason of his recently acquired Cintiq 24HD – “The Cintiq workflow allows me to effectively

collaborate with colleagues and customers as well as meet production deadlines. Wacom’s latest Cintiq emulates working with traditional media

and provides the comfort, color and control I need to keep my drawings fresh and original.”

Brand BusinessWe have various types of pen tablets; the models open up a world of possibilities and help our customers to experi-ence more with our unique digital pen and multi-touch technologies.

It will not stop there as Wacom expects the market to accelerate substantially.

Our Businesses

Our company is made up of three business sectors in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013 – Brand products, Compo-nents and Other businesses. We develop, manufacture, and sell solution products which create harmony between people and electronic devices in the field of interface technologies.

Consumer products

Bamboo series, our consumer pen tablets, provide a natural-to-use tool for expressing creative ideas and communicating with friends, colleagues, and family through social networks in a personal way. Wacom has expanded models combining pen and touch technol-ogy. Bamboo not only enables users to intuitively draw, paint, sketch, and retouch digital photographs, but also simplifies for everyone navigating around the computer and the Internet.

Bamboo Stylus offers a brand new way to experience hand-written note-taking, sketching, and drawing with creative expression, specifically for Apple iPad users. It enables a more intuitive and accurate way to take notes in meetings and classroom settings or to sketch out rough ideas. Bamboo Stylus is available in six colors and Bamboo Stylus duo features the same responsive smooth pen nib plus a ballpoint nib.Bamboo Paper opens up new ways of creativity and gives a real pen and paper feeling for iPad users. Bamboo Paper turns any iPad into a digital notebook with the ability to share handwritten or sketched ideas and concepts.

Component Business

Others

DT/PL and STU series, interactive pen displays are invaluable for a variety of tasks for more general users such as settlement processing, medical recording equipment, and educational systems, etc.

A major smart phone manufacturer and many PC makers worldwide have adopted our pen sensor compo-nents plus pen and multi-touch sensor solutions.Our components allow IT devices to be operated naturally with a digital pen and even with the touch of fin-gers with our original IC controller. Our component business is growing with the expansion of new markets such as smart phones, Tablet-type devices, and e-book devices.

Business products

The digital signature solution with STU series is an accepted best practice among financial institutions. It makes a contribution to not only saving customer information as secured digital data in each corporate style but also conserving paper resources. In Europe, Berliner Sparkasse and others adopted our signature tablets to digitally sign documents for opening accounts. La Laport a major mall management com-pany in Japan and IKEA in Germany use our products for credit-card transactions with a digital signature.

The H i l ton Hote l in Milan, Italy also utilizes STU-520 for the digital check-in to improve work processes.

Digital signature

Wacom and i ts par tners have worked c lose ly together over the last few years to develop a reli-able electronic flight strip system, replacing the tra-ditional paper based air traffic management. The German Air Navigation Services “DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH” has also adopted our inter-active pen displays at their air traffic control centers and towers in Germany after extensive research and tes ts . Our in te rac t ive pen d isp lays have become the standard for controllers because of the ease in handling electronic flight strips, guarantee-ing a seamless transition to digital.

Air traffic control sector

Our interactive pen displays have become popular in medical areas in Japan. For example, by using digita l medical char ts instead of paper-based records, medical information can be shared more easily within different hospital departments. Pre-senting educational materials with our interactive displays also maximizes the opportunity for interac-tion between teachers and students in a teaching setting. Our DT/PL series are adopted in other fields such as interactive whiteboards, video conferencing systems, ca l l centers, and T V panel show for smoother communication. We recently introduced Wacom Allwrite which allows annotation of Office documents on PCs for penetrating traditional office work flows with digital pens.

Medical care, education, and others

Wacom feel IT Technologies is the brand that pro-vides user interface technology directly from Wacom. By integrat-ing user interface technology such as multi-touch sensor, pen sensor, controller and device driver in the most sophisticated method, the brand provides highly natural and intuitive user inter-face experiences for smart phones, Tablet-type devices, PCs, e-books and other IT devices.

Our Global Operations

Interview from a global leader of WacomWacom continues to optimize our global business model. A global leader, Mr. Hartmut Woerrlein of GPM (Global Product Management) comments on business as follows;

1. What does GPM do? In a simplified way you could say that in each business there are only two things: Customers and Products. Happy customers like to buy our products and recommend to buy Wacom products to their f r iends, family and business partners. GPM makes sure that we understand which products to develop and when to bring them to the market. We define products, l ine ups, an entire portfolio, the positioning in the market, the look and feel, the materials and many other things, too. We closely collaborate with all the regional sales offices and almost every department in the company.

2. What are GPM members’ regional backgrounds? We have GPM members in Japan, the US, in Europe and in Taiwan. They are global but in their passports they are from the UK, the US, Germany, Japan and Taiwan and they speak several languages. They have worked in marketing, sales, engineering, supply chain management, quality control in manufacturing and other areas. Quite a good mix of skills. I am very proud of my excellent team. Very proud.

3. What are the merits in Global Product Management as being global? AAs Wacom is a global company doing business in almost all countries around the globe in a nicely balanced way (not only in one or two countries) it is

essential to understand customers around the globe. Customers are not global. They live where they live and they live in their culture. To understand how we can best serve them we decided to spread the team across the globe also. Let me give you a practical example what this could mean: For customers in Japan Manga Art is part of their culture. In Europe and the US Manga is known only by some (young) people but very few do Manga Art. It’ s just not part of their culture.

4. What are the d i f f icu l t ies in Global Product Management with being global?Time zones. I spend most of my time in Japan. My wife and my kids live in Germany. I call them at 6am (23:00 over there) or late at night. The US team is another nine hours behind. To make things worse there is winter time with one hour plus or minus. And it doesn’ t change on one day globally. Sometimes I show up at meetings one hour late - i t can be embarrassing. Imagine meetings from 23:00 in the US, 8am in Europe, 14:00 in Taiwan, 15:00 in Japan. Sometimes we are attending meetings from 1am to 5am and then again from 7am to 9am.Besides the time zones we have to work very hard to understand and accept cultural differences.

5. What are the important points you keep in your mind as a GPM leader?Customers, good team work, success for Wacom and (maybe my most important one) a lot of fun.

Our Global Model

Back in the 1980s, we set up our corporate headquarters in Japan. We extended our global operations to the United States and Germany, and then expanded to China, Korea, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and India. Each of our regional subsidiaries maximizes our strength as a global company and helps us offer dynamic products and services that exceed customer expectations as well as performing regional business functions.

Overview of Business Performance

How did the global economy affectour business in our 29th year?

Wacom Co., Ltd. and Its Subsidiaries

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 of our 29th year under review, the operating environment for Wacom Group was influenced by the suspension of manufacturing and a weak domestic economy in Japan in the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake during the first quarter, and subsequently in the second quarter by disruptions to the supply chain for PCs and other products due to flooding in Thailand. Globally, the US economy appeared to stabilize somewhat with improvements in employment and other factors, while in Europe uncertainty increased amid the continued debt crisis. Although relatively high growth rates con-tinued in emerging economies such as China and India, a number of factors caused a slowing of this growth, including inflation concerns and a decrease in exports to Europe.

The yen remained strong against the US dollar and the euro, and this adversely impacted the performance of Wacom Group. In the IT industry, there was rapid growth in new product categories such as smartphones and tablets, while major manufacturers of PC and mobile phone handsets undertook initiatives to expand their product line and establish their posi-tions in these new markets.

In markets where Wacom Group offers products, a number of trends were evident. In Professional Products, 3D production progressed and the adoption of digital design technology accelerated in the movies and games industries. In Asia, industrial design and digital content industries expanded. In Consumer Products, there has been growth in the use of electronic pens for illustrations, photo retouching and web design, as well as for communication on social networks such as facebook. The spread of tablet and e-book devices has revealed a strong need for natural and intuitive input by hand. In Business Products, the use of LCD tablet prod-ucts is increasing, with a growing demand for improved security and paperless environments across a broad range of sectors, including medi-cine, education and finance. Electronic settlement using digital signatures is attracting particular attention as a highly effective way to protect indi-vidual information, improve operational efficiency and reduce document handling costs. In Component business, there is a growing need for pen and/or multi-touch technology for Windows and Android tablet PCs, tablet devices, smartphones, e-book readers and other such devices.Moreover, there are also opportunities in the emerging category heralded by the October announcement in Europe of Samsung’ s Galaxy Note, a smartphone that incorporates a pen function.

Wacom Group’ s activities for the year under review included announcing and launching a record number of new products in the market, while con-tinuing to manage business risks such as natural disaster and foreign exchange rate fluctuations. We expanded our lineup of products for tablet devices, pursued web-based and other marketing initiatives, enhanced our supply chain management, worked on the development of new tech-nology, and took steps to improve operating profitability. We also intro-duced a new ERP system, which has been performing steadily since August, as part of our investment in IT systems to support higher produc-tivity and growth.

During the year we recorded extraordinary losses for a number of items, including expenses concomitant with withdrawal from our pension fund after it had been deemed an increasing financial risk, repair costs for head office premises damaged in the Great East Japan Earthquake, and expenses associated with the planned July 2012 transfer of the Tokyo branch office.

Accordingly, for the full year Wacom Group’ s consolidated net sales increased 23.2% to ¥40,705 million, operating income increased 25.1% to ¥4,067 million, ordinary income increased 15.7% to ¥3,891 million and net income increased 10.9% to ¥2,181 million.

Our results by business sector

Tablet businessAlthough business in this area was affected by the strength of the yen, sales increased as a result of new product releases. In Professional Products, new products included the extremely sophisticated Cintiq 24HD and the Intuos 5 were well received and sales grew steadily. We also released Inkling, a digital pen, which was selected by TIME magazine as one of its Top 50 inventions in 2011. In Con-sumer Products, sales of the Bamboo series were broadly unchanged, reflecting weakness in the European and North American markets. However, overall sales progressed steadily, supported by continued strong sales of Bamboo Stylus pens for the iPad. In Business Products, we doubled sales of our digital signature tablets. However, overall sales in the category declined by the termination of a certain OEM project in the U. S. Looking at sales by region, in U. S., sales were largely with a decline in Business Products offset by steady progress in sales of Professional Products and Con-sumer Products. In Europe, sales increased steadily in all product lines, supported by the launch of new products. In Japan, sales increased with the impact of the earthquake disaster offset by such factors as strong sales of the Cintiq series and growth in Consumer Products. In Asia & Oceania, overall performance was firm. Reflecting the above initia-tives and outcomes, sales in the Tablet business category increased 7.7% to ¥28.51bn, with operating income decreasing 9.0% to ¥5.12bn.

Component businessSales increased significantly, primarily due to the start of commercial production of Wacom’ s pen-sensor system adopted by Samsung for its Galaxy Note smartphone. Solid shipments were also made of products destined for use in Windows PCs, tablet devices, smartphones, e-book read-ers, etc. In new product development, progress was made in developing a new sensor controller IC, a Windows 8-compatible sensor system, and in other areas. Reflecting the above initiatives and outcomes, sales in the Compo-nents business category for the year ended March 31, 2012 increased 91.0% to ¥11.68bn, with operating income of ¥1.09bn compared to an operating loss in the previous year of ¥0.24bn.

Other businessIn Software business, sales increased steadily due to improved operating efficiency arising from stronger partner-ships with major domestic distributors, along with the com-mencement of a harness sales proposal approach. Sales were also supported by the launch of a new version of ECAD dio 2012, enhanced to facilitate large-scale design. Sales in the Other business increased 15.3% to ¥0.52bn, with operating income of ¥0.07bn compared to an operating loss in the previous year of ¥0.15bn.

Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsWacom Co., Ltd. and Its Subsidiaries

30

1. Basis of presenting consolidated financial statements:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the consolidated financial statements of Wacom Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries filed with the Director of the Kanto Local Finance Bureau in accordance with the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law of Japan and its related accounting regulations, and in conformity with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in Japan, which are different in certain respects from the application and disclosure require-ments of International Financial Reporting Standards.

The consolidated financial statements are stated in Japanese yen, the currency of the country in which the Company is incorporated and principally operates. The translation of Japanese yen amounts into U.S. dollar amounts is included solely for the convenience of the readers outside Japan and has been calculated at the rate of JP¥82.19 = U.S.$1.00, the approximate rate of exchange on March 31, 2012. Such translations should not be construed as representations that the Japanese yen amounts could have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars at that or any other rate.

2.Summary of significant accounting policies:(1)Principles of consolidation -The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its majority-owned subsidiaries (10 companies). Majority-owned subsid-iaries are as follows;

•Wacom Europe GmbH•Wacom Technology Corporation•Wacom China Corporation•Wacom Korea Co., Ltd.•Wacom Australia Pty. Ltd.•Wacom Hong Kong Ltd.•Wacom Singapore Pte. Ltd.•Wacom Taiwan Information Co., Ltd.•Wacom Technology Services, Corp.•Wacom India Pvt. Ltd.

There are no unconsolidated subsidiaries or affiliates accounted for by the equity method.

The fiscal year end of Wacom China Corporation is December 31. However, for consolidation purposes, a provisional settlement of accounts as of March 31 is utilized.

(2)Valuation methods for major assets -(a)Securities:Securities for which market price or quotations are not available are stated at cost based on the moving-average method.

(b)Derivatives:All derivatives are stated at fair value, with changes in fair value included in net income or loss in the period in which they arise.

(c)Inventories:Inventories held by the Company are stated at lower of

cost or realizable value, cost being determined by the average cost method.

(3)Depreciation and amortization of major assets -(a)Property, plant and equipment:The Company adopted the declining-balance method of depreciation using rates based on the estimated useful lives of the assets (depreciation of buildings acquired by the domestic company after April 1, 1998 is computed using the straight-line method of depre-ciation). Depreciation of property, plant and equipment held by at the foreign consolidated subsidiaries is computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

Useful lives of major classes of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Buildings and structures 3 to 65 yearsMachinery, equipment and vehicles 3 to 7 yearsTools, furniture and fixtures 2 to 20 years

(b)Intangible assets:The Company has adopted the straight-line method for computing amortization of intangible assets. Software capitalized for in-house use is amortized based on the straight-line method over an expected useful economic life of 5 years. Software capitalized for sale is amortized based on the estimated volume of sales, with the minimum amortization amount calculated based on a useful life of 3 years.

(4)Basis of provision -(a)Allowance for doubtful accounts:An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided in an amount sufficient to cover probable losses on collec-tion of notes and accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts is computed based on the calcu-lated historical bad debt experience ratio for trade receivables, in addition to the estimated amount of doubtful receivables on an individual account basis.Foreign consolidated subsidiaries mainly compute the allowance for doubtful accounts based on the estimated amount of doubtful receivables on an individual account basis.

(b)Provision for bonuses:The provision for bonuses to employees is provided based on the estimated amounts expected to be paid to employees.

(c) Provision for directors’ and statutory corporate auditors’ bonuses:The provision for directors’ and statutory corporate auditors’ bonuses is provided based on the estimated amounts expected to be paid to directors and statu-tory corporate auditors.

(d)Provision for retirement benefits:The provision for retirement benefits for employees is provided based on the actuarially calculated present value of projected benefit obligations except for, as permitted under the accounting standard for employ-ees’ retirement benefits, the unrecognized actuarial gains or losses. The unrecognized actuarial gains or losses are amortized on a straight-line basis over 5

31

years beginning in the year after they arise.　Actuarial gains or losses are recognized as incurred in the foreign consolidated subsidiaries.

(5)Foreign currency translation -The Company’s functional currency is Japanese yen. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency as of year-end are translated at the current exchange rate. Exchange gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions and the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are included in the consolidated statements of income. All assets, liabilities, income and expense accounts of foreign subsidiaries are translated using the current exchange rates at the respective balance sheet dates. Foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from such procedures are recorded in the consoli-dated balance sheets as a separate component of net assets.

(6)Amortization of goodwill - Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over its remaining useful life.

(7)Cash and cash equivalents -Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments, generally with original maturities of three months or less, those that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and, thus, present an insignifi-cant risk of changes in value.

(8)Consumption taxes -The consumption tax withheld upon sale and consumption tax paid by the Companies on their purchases of goods and services is not included in revenue and cost or expense items in the accompany-ing consolidated statements of income.

3. Changes in accounting policies:Change in accounting principles and policies for the year ended March 31, 2012 is as follows.

(Accounting for earnings per share)The Company has adopted “Accounting Standard for Earnings Per Share” (Accounting Standards Board of Japan Statement No. 2 issued on June 30, 2010) and “Guidance on Accounting Standard for Earnings Per Share” (Accounting Standards Board of Japan Guid-ance No. 4 issued on June 30, 2010) from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.In accordance with the guidance, the Company has changed the method of calculating diluted earnings per share. In this revised method, a portion of the fair value of stock options, which relates to the services to be rendered in the future, is included in the assumed proceeds by the exercise of stock options.This change was retroactively applied, and the diluted earnings per share for the year ended March 31, 2011 has been restated.The effect on earnings per share information is presented in Note 21.

(Changes in revenue recognition)The Company has changed the timing of rev recogni-tion for the Company’s standard products to recognize

revenue at the point of arrival at the customer’s location rather than upon shipment from the beginning of fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. This change was made to more accurately present profit and loss as we concluded that it was more appropriate to recognize revenue at the time of customer’s receipt as a result of the current international harmonization of accounting treatments and the review　of our company structure by the introduction of new accounting system.This change has been retroactively applied and the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2011 were restated.As a result, in consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2011 notes and accounts receivable-trade and retained earnings decreased by ¥106,692 thousand and ¥41,585 thousand, respectively, and merchandise and finished goods and deferred tax assets (current assets) increased by ¥37,727 thousand and ¥27,380 thousand, respectively. Also, in consolidated state-ments of income for the year ended March 31, 2011 net sales and cost of sales decreased by ¥44,818 thousand and ¥12,620 thousand, operating income, ordinary income and income before income taxes decreased by ¥19,418 thousand, respectively. In consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the year ended March 31, 2011 income before tax and minority interests and comprehensive income decreased by ¥19,418 thousand, respectively.In consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2011 income before income taxes decreased by ¥32,198 thousand, decrease (increase) in notes and accounts receivable-trade increased by ¥44,818 thousand and decrease (increase) in invento-ries decreased by ¥12,620 thousand.Due to the cumulative effect of change in accounting policy which was reflected to net assets balance at the beginning of fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, the retained earnings balance at the beginning in consoli-dated statements of changes in net assets for the year ended March 31, 2012 decreased by ¥22,166 thousand.The effect on earnings per share information is presented in Note 21.

(2)Notes maturing as of the fiscal year end -Notes maturing as of the fiscal year end are settled on the clearance date. Therefore, the following notes which matured as of the fiscal year end have been included in the fiscal year end balance sheets due to the holiday of financial institutions.

4. Changes in presentation methods:Change in accounting principles and policies for the year ended March 31, 2012 is as follows.(Consolidated balance sheets)“Accounts receivable-other”, which was presented separately under current assets in the year ended March 2011, is included in “Others” in the year ended March 31, 2012 as its significance to the consolidated balance sheets has decreased. To reflect this change, the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2011 have been reclassified. As a result, ¥1,562,297 thousand of “Accounts receivable-other” is reclassi-fied to “Others” under current assets in the consoli-dated balance sheets for the year ended March 31, 2011.

Such contracts, however, have not been entered for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 and 2012.Finance lease transactions that do not transfer owner-ship of the assets which commenced before April 1, 2008, have been accounted for using the same method as for operating leases continuously. Such lease trans-actions of the Company and its subsidiaries, as a lessee, are shown below:

(c)Lease payments and amounts representing depre-ciation and interest are as follows:

(2)Calculation method of depreciation equivalentsDepreciation equivalents are based on the annual declining-balance method depreciation for tangible fixed assets over the lease terms with residual value of 10%. To calculate the depreciation equivalents, the annual depreciation expense is multiplied by 10 and divided by 9. The straight-line method for the intan-gible assets over the lease terms without residual value.

12. Financial instruments:(1)Matters relating to financial instruments - (a)Policy for financial instruments: The Group's financing is mainly covered by internal fund, which provides stable and low-cost financing. However, some short-term financial needs and work-ing capital needs may be covered by short-term loans. Long-term financing is also obtained based on demand by selecting the appropriate vehicle such as the issuance of new bond, or issuance of new shares. Investment of surplus fund is limited in relatively secure financial instruments with high liquidity and high credit ratings. The derivatives are used only for the purpose to avoid a risk of future currency fluctuations, and any specu-lative trading is strictly prohibited.

(b)Content of financial instruments and their risks and risk management scheme: “Notes and accounts receivable – trade” are exposed to the credit risk of customers. Such risks are con-trolled by the scheme to keep track of the due date and outstanding balance for every customer, and check customer's credit status on a regular basis according to the Company’ s credit limit management policy. “Notes and account payable – trade” are mostly due within one year. “Short-term loans payable” account is primarily utilized for financing relating to business transactions. Liquidity risk for the operating payables and the short-term loans payable is controlled by a monthly cash flow forecast. As to derivative transactions, in order to hedge the risk of fluctuation in foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities, the Company uses forward exchange contracts. For execution and management of deriva-tive transactions, the finance department is respon-sible for executing such transactions upon an approval from authorized personnel in accordance with the Company’s derivatives transaction policy that defines approval authority and the trading limit of transactions. In addition, to reduce the risk of default on derivatives trading, the Company limits trading counterparties to high rated financial institutions only.

13. Investment securities:Investment securities of ¥14,778 thousand on the con-solidated balance sheets for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 do not have market prices. As there is no readily available information to calculate the cur-rent market value, these securities have been omitted from the fair market value presentation.

The loss on impairment of investment securities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 was ¥20,000 thousand. If net value at end of fiscal year declines to 50% or less of acquisition cost, the company recog-nizes a loss on impairment of investment securities after considering future recoverability.

Investment securities of ¥195,115 thousand ($2,374 thousand) on the consolidated balance sheets for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 do not have readily available market prices to calculate the current market value, and thus these securities have been omitted from the fair market value presentation.

14. Derivatives:All derivative transactions are entered into to hedge foreign currency exposures within the Company’ s business. Accordingly, the market risk in these derivatives is offset by opposite movements in the value of hedged assets or liabilities. The Company does not hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Because the counterparties to these derivatives are limited to major international finance institutions, the Company does not anticipate any losses arising from credit risk.

Derivative transactions entered into by the Company have been executed in accordance with internal poli-cies, which regulate the authorization and credit limit amount of transactions.

The amount of the derivative contracts does not nec-essarily indicate the significance of the risk.Certain information on outstanding derivative con-tracts is shown below.

(2)Reconciliation between the statutory tax rate and the effective income tax rate

The reconciliation between the statutory tax rate and the effective income tax rate in the consolidated statements of income for the year ended March 31, 2012 is omitted because the difference of both rates is less than 5% of statutory effective tax rate.

(3)Adjustments of deferred tax assets and liabilities amounts according to the change of income tax rate

On December 2, 2011, “Amendment to Income Tax Laws to Reform Tax Rates Corresponding to the Change in Social Economy Structures” (Law Number 114) and “Special Measures to Secure Financial Re-sources to Implement the Restoration from 2011 Tohoku Earthquake” (Law Number 117) were issued and, effective from the fiscal years beginning April 1, 2012, the corporate income taxes was consequently reduced whereas temporary special purpose tax was added on for the recovery from the ear thquake damage.

Accordingly, for estimating deferred tax assets and liabilities, the effective tax rates to be applied on the temporary differences expected to be settled in the three fiscal years beginning April 1, 2012 and from the fiscal years beginning April 1, 2015 will be reduced to 37.1% and 34.8%, respectively, from the current effective tax rate of 39.7%.

This tax rate change resulted in the net deferred tax assets (net of deferred tax liabilities) to be decreased by ¥80,737 thousand ($ 982 thousand) , income taxes-deferred increased by ¥81,371 thousand ($990 thousand), and valuation difference on available-for-sale securities increased by ¥634 thousand ($8 thou-sand).
