Held-to-maturity debt securities:

Carried at amortized cost

Available-for-sale securities

Securities apart from shares, etc. without market prices:

Carried at fair value (any valuation differences are reported as a separate component of net assets; cost of securities sold is calculated using the moving average method.)

Shares, etc. without market prices:

Carried at cost using the moving average method

Derivatives:

Carried at fair value

Inventories:

Inventories held for regular sales purposes

Principally stated at cost, determined by the gross average method

(carrying amounts on the balance sheet are subject to the book

value reduction method based on decreased profit margin).

At other overseas consolidated subsidiaries, inventories are mainly

stated at lower of cost or net sales value, cost being determined by

the gross average method.

2) Depreciation or Amortization Method for Non-current Assets Property, plant and equipment (except for leased assets):

Primarily the straight-line method

Intangible assets (except for leased assets):

Straight-line method

Computer software for internal use is amortized by the straight -line

method over their estimated useful lives of 5 years.

Leased assets:

Leased assets under finance lease contracts that transfer ownership

to the lessee are depreciated by using the same method as for self-

held non-current assets.

Leased assets under finance lease contracts that do not transfer

ownership to the lessee are depreciated to a residual value of zero

by the straight-line method over the lease term as the useful life.

  1. Standards for Recording Allowances and Provisions Allowance for doubtful receivables:

An estimated amount of uncollectible receivables is recorded based on the aggregate historical experience of bad debts for ordinary

receivables. For specific probable doubtful accounts from customers experiencing financial difficulties and those in bankruptcy, bad debts amounts are estimated individually based on their specific collectibility.

  1. Standards for Translating the Value of Important Foreign Currency-denominated Assets and Liabilities into Japanese Yen

The amounts of monetary receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are translated into yen amounts at the spot rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date, and differences resulting from translation are recognized in income or loss.

    Hedging transactions are mainly accounted for using the deferral method. Forward exchange contracts which meet certain conditions are accounted for at their contracted rates (the "allocation method"), and interest-rate swaps which meet certain conditions are accounted for as if the interest rates which apply to the swaps had originally applied to the underlying debt (the "special method").
  2. Method of Accounting for Retirement Benefits
  1. Method of attribution of expected retirement benefits to each period

In order to calculate the amount of retirement benefit obligations, expected future retirement benefits are attributed to each period through the end of the current fiscal year on a straight-line basis.
