To Our Shareholders

I was appointed to President of Yusen Logistics Co., Ltd. on April 1, 2011.


Yusen Logistics was born in October 2010, out of the integration of Yusen Air & Sea Service and NYK
Logistics (Japan), and is working to realize the business target of being a total logistics provider
operating globally with world-class scale and quality.
In scal 2010 (that ended March 31, 2011), we recorded net sales of 160.8 billion and ordinary
income of 6.1 billion. By implementing our new medium-term business plan that began in scal
2011, "GO FOWARD, Yusen Logistics," we aim to achieve net sales of 500 billion and ordinary income
of 18.5 billion in scal 2013 by realizing integration effects and growth. In addition to becoming
bigger in scale, the new company now has a better sales mix by business and region, which enables
us to respond to increasingly sophisticated logistics needs of our customers in all types of services in
air and ocean freight forwarding, land transport and contract logistics. We expect to (1) grow mainly
in ocean freight forwarding and in Asia, (2) realize integration effects, (3) develop global operations
and (4) expand services to our customers.
We plan to complete integration of our overseas businesses by March 2012. In order to make 1+1
into 3 or 4, we need the Fusion of our operations. Within the forwarding business, air and ocean
freight forwarding differ in various ways and in their business culture. We will spend a year or two to
build workplaces where people respect each other through sharing of the new companys policies
and through exchanges among the workforce. As we believe that revitalization of human resources is
most critical in creating value, we will pursue empowerment, promote young workers and invest in
training of our workforce.
With regard to dividends, we recognize that the return of prots to shareholders is a matter of high
managerial priority. We are committed to pay stable dividends, as long as we generate sufcient
prot. With due consideration to our groups growth and expansion plans, our basic policy is to
increasingly reward our shareholders. Based on this policy, we expect to pay 20 per share dividend
based on our current earnings forecasts for scal 2011.
We would like to ask for your continued support and patronage.

Corporate Governance

Basic Stance and Initiatives on Corporate Governance


YLK (the Company) seeks to maintain its standing as a good corporate
citizen, earning the trust of all stakeholders and their ongoing support.
To this end, the Company upholds a high standard of ethics its business
activities-global logistics services-and strives to engage in fair and
dependable business practices in compliance with prevailing laws and
within accepted social parameters.

Corporate Governance Structure


Outline of Corporate Governance Structure and Reasons for its
Adoption
The Board of Directors, which is the Companys decision-making body,
consists of seven directors who are engaged in determination of legal
matters, resolving of signicant basic policies and surveillance of the
execution of operations. The Company has also adopted the Executive
Officer System with the aim of accelerating decision making in the
execution of operations. At present, the Board of Executive Officers,
comprised of 19 executive ofcers, discusses and resolves signicant
matters to execute operations.
In addition, the Board of Corporate Auditors consists of four
auditors, two of which are from outside the Company, and whose
assignment is to audit the execution of duties of the Board of Directors
and the Board of Executive Officers from an objective and neutral
perspective.
The Company has chosen the above system which it believes to
ensure management transparency and efficiency, with prompt and
appropriate decision making and clear identification of duties and
responsibilities in the execution of operations.

Status of the Internal Control System


The Company carries out efficient compliance promotion, risk
management and internal audits to ensure that its internal control
system functions effectively.
Compliance
The Company established a Code of Conduct in May 2005 to ensure
that each YLK Group employee carries out and accomplishes
corporate activities and routine work in accordance with corporate
ethical guidelines and social morals, as well as by observing laws
and regulations. The Company also distributed the Group Compliance
Manual group-wide (domestically in March 2006 and overseas in March
2008). All Group executives and employees have since adhered to its
guidelines in their daily activities.
As an internal compliance system, the Compliance Committee,
chaired by the President, the position of Chief Compliance Officer
(CCO) and the CSR/Risk Management Chamber have been established.
Moreover, 66 employees of the Company and its Group companies have
been assigned as CSR Leaders to promote compliance within their
workplaces.
Risk Management System
The Company has established the CSR/Risk Management Chamber,
which specializes in managing significant risks that might affect the
management of the Company or might have Company-wide effect.
The CSR/Risk Management Chamber always identies, analyzes, and

Yusen Logistics Annual Report 2011

assesses risks and takes appropriate action.


Each division manage risks relating to its operations in accordance
with relevant internal regulations and in cooperation with the CSR/Risk
Management Chamber.
The CSR/Risk Management Chamber reports risks and risk
management to the Compliance Committee, which is chaired by the
President, and to the Disaster Risk Management Meeting.
Internal Audits, Corporate Audits, and Accounting Audits
The Company has established the Internal Audit Chamber, staffed by
four employees, to undertake regular internal audits of the Group. The
corporate audits are conducted by four auditors including two external
auditors, in accordance with the auditing plan established by the
Board of Auditors. Motonobu Kobayashi, a full-time auditor, had held
a position of executive managing director of NYK Logistics (Japan) Co.,
Ltd. while Masaaki Hashimoto, another full-time auditor, had served as
president of Yusen Air & Sea Service (Chugoku) Co., Ltd. and Yusen Air
& Sea Service (Korea) Co., Ltd. Both auditors have long accumulated
experience and knowledge of logistics business management. The two
external auditors have knowledge and understanding of management:
Makoto Satani through his long experience and performance in the oil
industry; and Setsuko Kusumoto through her experience in business
and academic elds.
At the beginning of each fiscal year, the Company's corporate
auditors hear from the accounting auditors representatives regarding
their auditing plan for the year, and at the year-end, they receive their
reports on the audit results and conrm the methods used. They also
hear from the Internal Audit Chamber regarding its auditing plan and
receive regular updates on auditing results.
The certified public accountants who execute accounting audits
of the Company are Takashi Nagata, Tomoyasu Maruyama and Kenji
Morita, all from Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu. They are assisted in their
accounting operations by three additional certied public accountants
and seven assistants.

External Directors and External Auditors


Among two external auditors, Makoto Satani is an executive consultant
of JX Nippon Oil & Energy Corporation and a councilor of Nippon Kaiji
Kyokai, while Setsuko Kusumoto is a professor at Musashi University.
The Company has no business transaction with JX Nippon Oil & Energy
Corporation, Nippon Kaiji Kyokai and Musashi University and neither of
our two external auditors has any particular interest in the Company.
External Auditors attend the Board of Directors and the Board of
Corporate Auditors and contribute to the meetings from an independent
perspective and with insights and views accumulated from a great deal
of experience. The Company believes that the Board of Directors is
ensured to make objective and neutral decisions by reecting views of
External Auditors in its auditing and using their independent external
perspectives in managing the Company.
While the Company has not appointed an External Director for this
year, the monitoring capability toward the Board of Directors, which is
a management decision-making body and has a function of authority
and direction regarding execution of duties of Directors and Executive
Ofcers, has been enhanced by having two external auditors among the
four auditors. The current structure ensures the function of external
objective and neutral management surveillance, which the Company
believes is an important element of corporate governance.

Logistics Co., Ltd. (the Company), Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha
(parent company), 35 consolidated subsidiaries and ve equity-method
afliates. The Groups major business activities are the cargo business
and the travel business. As of April 1, 2011, Yusen Air & Sea Service
(U.S.A.) Inc. changed its name to Yusen Logistics (Americas) Inc., Yusen
Air & Sea Service (Europe) B.V. changed to Yusen Logistics (Europe)

changed to Yusen Logistics (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.

Overview
During the fiscal year under review, the world economy recovered
gradually, thanks to economic stimulus measures implemented
by many countries, but the growth has slowed down since the third
quarter (October to December, 2010.) The U.S. saw some bright spots
in consumer spending but little improvement in employment or the
housing market, while Europe in aggregate continued to grow slowly
due to austere fiscal policies that were implemented to deal with
nancial problems. In contrast, China maintained high economic growth
rates, while Vietnam, India and other Asian countries grew steadily,
supported by robust growth in domestic demand.
Japans economy was supported by external demand from Asian
economic growth and turned from a sluggish stage to a recovery stage
by the third quarter. However, the Great East Japan Earthquake of
March 11, 2011 affected Japans economic activities signicantly.
Against this backdrop, the global air freight market generally
recovered steadily despite some differences between region. In Asia,
particularly in fast-growing China, the freight movements of electronic
and automotive components were favorable and contributed to an
increase in freight volumes handled by the Yusen Logistics Group
(hereafter referred to as the YLK Group or the Group). On the other
hand, freight movements have been slow in Japan since the third
quarter, partly due to the appreciation of the yen.
In fiscal 2010, net sales increased by 30.2% year-on-year to
160,788 million (US$1,934 million). Operating income was 114.1%
higher at 4,947 million (US$59 million), while net income increased by
134.4% to 3,621 million (US$44 million).

Geographical Segment Information


(Figures include inter-segment transactions)

Japan
The Japan segment, including domestic consolidated subsidiaries,
recorded sales of 77,635 million (US$934 million; up 26.8% year-onyear) and segment prot of 333 million (US$4 million; down 64.7% yearon-year.)
Air freight exports, a growth was seen in handling of office
equipment-related freight to Europe and construction machinery-related
freight to Asia at the beginning of the fiscal year under review, but
freight to Europe and the U.S. slowed down in the second quarter due to
the sharp appreciation of the yen and completion of inventory rebuilding
in overseas markets. In the fourth quarter, handling of automotive
components began to recover but did not make a full-edged recovery
as the Great East Japan Earthquake caused a temporary setback in
freight movements in March. As a result, freight volumes handled during
the year under review increased by only 4.3% year-on-year.
Regarding air freight imports, handling of semiconductor-related
products and apparel products from Asia has slowed down since the
third quarter, but handling of medical equipment-related products from
Americas was steady and that of Beaujolais Nouveau from Europe was
robust. As a result, the number of shipments handled during the year
under review increased by 5.8% year-on-year.
The Company's ocean freight forwarding business handled exports
of precision equipment and imports of large medical equipment. In
addition, it completed business integration with NYK Logistics (Japan)
Co., Ltd. and established a new business structure. The volume of ocean
freight exports handled increased from the previous year.
In the travel services segment, demand for corporate business travel
gradually recovered and cruise sales posted a steady performance.
During the scal year under review, the Group generated expenses
that were related to a relocation of the head office and integration of
domestic and overseas logistics businesses of Nippon Yusen Kabushiki
Kaisha.

Americas
The Americas segment recorded sales of 13,471 million (US$162
million; up 24.9% year-on-year) and segment prot of 749 million (US$9
million; compared to a 5 million operating loss in the previous year) .

While air freight exports were temporarily stagnant because of a


series of airport closures caused by winter storms in North America in
January 2011, air freight exports to Japan were favorable throughout
the year, particularly the handling of automotive components,
semiconductor-related products, spot shipments of wine, and urgent
shipments of medical equipment-related products. As a result, freight
volumes handled during the year increased by 40.3% year-on-year.
Among air freight imports, handling of electronic components,
automotive components, PC-related products as well as at-screen TV
sets related has been steady. However, air freight imports showed signs
of sluggishness, similar to air freight exports, and resulted in growth of
14.0% year-on-year in the number of shipments handled.
In the case of ocean freight exports, strong growth was recorded,
thanks to favorable freight volumes of automotive components as well
as steady freight volumes of frozen meat to Japan.
Ocean freight imports were also rm for automotive components,
similar to ocean freight exports.

Europe
The Europe segment recorded sales of 15,022 million (US$181 million;
up 26.4% year-on-year) and segment profit of 527 million (US$6
million; compared to a 472 million operating loss in the previous year).
In air freight exports, shipments were steady for automotive
components to Asia and medical equipment and pharmaceuticals,
while handling of solar panels in the environmental and energy area,
the industry in which the YLK Group is making strong sales efforts, was
favorable. In January, we handled chocolate from Belgium to Japan,
thanks to its seasonal demand. As a result, freight volumes handled
during the year increased by 67.3% year-on-year.
In air freight imports, handling of ofce equipment related products
and electronic components continued to be strong. Although the volume
handled decreased in the fourth quarter, as a reaction following the
December peak season, the number of shipments handled for the year
grew by 27.5% year-on-year.
Ocean freight exports, shipments were far exceeded those of the
previous year, thanks to steady handling of automotive components as
well as favorable handling of apparel products to Asia.
In ocean freight imports, handling of motorcycle-related products
from Asia and electronic equipment was rm.

East Asia
The East Asia segment recorded sales of 31,705 million (US$381
million; up 42.1% year-on-year) and segment profit of 2,001 million
(US$24 million; up 207.6% year-on-year.)
With regard to air freight exports, we did not experience a peak
freight shipment, which we normally do in the third quarter, and the
freight movements in the fourth quarter were sluggish, partly due to an
impact of the Chinese New Year holidays. Handling of major products,
namely, PC-related products or digital home appliances, was subdued,
despite rush demand prior to Chinese New Year holidays and some
urgent spot shipments. As a result, freight volumes handled during the
year under review increased by 27.2% year-on-year.
Air freight imports, thanks to steady handling of digital home
appliances, PC- and semiconductor-related products as well as
electronic and automotive components from the Asian region, the
number of shipments handled during the year increased by 16.9% yearon-year.
In the ocean freight exports, handling of game equipment bound
for China and motorcycle-related products for Europe and the U.S. was
steady.
Regarding ocean freight imports, handling of game equipment, just
as for exports, and glass substrates for at-screen TVs was strong.
Steady prots were ensured as we did not see a big swing in freight
rates from airline companies, because of lack of a peak in seasonal
demand which we normally see prior to the Christmas season in the U.S.
and Europe.

South Asia and Oceania


The South Asia and Oceania segment recorded sales of 25,742 million
(US$310 million; up 33.2% year-on-year) and segment prot of 1,352
million (US$16 million; up 12.8% year-on-year).
Air freight exports, handling of automotive components to Thailand,
China and Japan, and electronic components within the Asian region
has been steady throughout the year. Despite a setback in freight
movements in the fourth quarter partly due to inuence of the Chinese
New Year holidays, freight volumes handled during the year increased
by 32.5% year-on-year.
Air freight imports, handling of automotive components was steady
throughout the year, despite a slowdown in shipment movements

caused by a decrease in material imports that was in turn triggered by


electronic component production adjustment from the third quarter. As
a result, the number of shipment handled during the year increased by
16.1% year-on-year.
Ocean freight exports, freight volumes were increased, due to
steady handling of automotive components to the U.S. and Japan. The
ocean freight imports, shipments were also favorable, supported by
handling of automotive components, similar to ocean freight exports,
and handling of plant equipment and devices. In Australia, we handled
imports of construction equipment from the U.S. to the areas damaged
by the oods in Queensland.

Financial Position
As of March 31, 2011, total assets amounted to 88,363 million (US$1,063
million), up 6,920 million or 8.5% year-on-year. While total property,
plant and equipment and other current assets decreased by 1,050
million and 1,736 million respectively from a year ago, cash and time
deposits increased by 8,712 million and trade notes and accounts
receivable by 1,162 million.
Total liabilities were 33,003 million (US$397 million), up 5,223
million or 18.8% year-on-year. Major factors include a 4,472 million
increase in long-term debts and a 807 million increase in trade notes
and accounts payable, which more than offset a decrease of 1,028
million in current portion of long-term debt.
Total equity amounted to 55,360 million (US$666 million), mainly
due to an increase in retained earnings and a decrease in foreign
currency translation adjustments. The equity ratio was 60.2%.

Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2011 increased by 8,349
million or 49.9% from a year ago, to 25,089 million (US$302 million).
Net cash provided by operating, investing and financing activities
amounted to 5,675 million, 1,295 million and 2,566 million
respectively.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by 4,835
million or up 575.6% from the previous year to 5,675 million (US$68
million). The main contribution to this was 5,887 million of income

before income taxes and minority interests, together with depreciation


and amortization of 1,780 million and an increase in trade notes and
accounts payable of 1,302 million, while an increase in trade notes and
accounts receivable of 1,978 million and income tax payment of 1,560
million reduced cash.
Net cash provided by investing activities totaled 1,295 million
(US$16 million), up 2,931 million from the previous year when net
cash used in investing activities amounted to 1,636 million. Proceeds
from withdrawal of time deposits exceeded payments into time deposits
by 721 million and the amount of collections of loans receivable was
1,761 million more than the amount of lending of loans receivable,
while 1,182 million was used to purchase of property, plant and
equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled 2,566 million
(US$31 million), up 3,933 million from the previous year when net cash
used in nancing activities amounted to 1,367 million. This was mainly
attributable to proceeds from long-term loans payable of 4,500 million
which far exceeded expenditures of 1,000 million for repayment of
long-term debt and an outow of 715 million for cash dividends paid.

Dividend Policy
The Company recognizes the return of prots to shareholders as one
of its top priorities. The Companys basic policy is to offer a stable
dividend within the limits set by business results, and to steadily raise
shareholder returns with due consideration to consolidated payout ratio
while accurately gauging the stages of future business expansion and
corporate growth.
The Company pays dividends twice a year-an interim dividend and
a year-end dividend.
The Company treats payments of year-end dividends as a matter at
the General Meeting of Shareholders, while our Articles of Incorporation
stipulate that interim dividends can be distributed to shareholders of
record as of September 30 each year pursuant to the resolution of the
Board of Directors.
Based on the above policy, the Company has decided to set the
year-end dividend for scal 2010 at 9.00 per share. This will bring the
annual dividend to 18.00 per share, including the 9.00 yen per share
interim dividend paid on December 3, 2010.

Fiscal 2011 is a particular important year for the Company, as being

the new medium-term business plan. The Company will make groupwide efforts for raising its corporate value. The Company sincerely asks
our shareholders for their continued support and understanding.

Business Risk Factors


1. General Business Trends
Demand for international transportation services can be inuenced by
economic conditions of a specic country or region and, in particular,
by those of Europe and the U.S., which tend to greatly affect the status
of the world economy. Indeed, air freight forwarding services are used
predominantly for products and components intended for consumers,
such as digital home appliances and IT-related goods. Business
conditions of the importing countries could have an impact on demand
for such services.
The YLK Group seeks to build an operating structure that facilitates
stable growth, and therefore is working to boost transactions for
products, such as medical equipment, pharmaceuticals and automotive
components, which are relatively less susceptible to the changing
economic conditions.

2. Fuel Price Fluctuations


Typically, the fuel surcharge charged by airline companies in line
with short-term uctuations in fuel prices is a fee that customers are
required to pay on top of air freight. Consequently, a surcharge in and of
itself should not have a material impact on the operating results or the
nancial conditions of the YLK Group. However, the Groups protability
may be temporarily impaired if and when conditions precipitate a
sudden rise in the fuel surcharge.

3. Inherent in Global Business Expansion


The Groups business activities extend beyond Japan to other areas
of Asia, as well as Oceania, the Middle East, Europe and Americas.
Roughly half of the Groups sales activities are conducted outside of
Japan. Possible risks that could emerge as the Group works to expand
its presence globally are:
. Political and economic factors,
. Impacts of ofcial rules and regulations, such as business and
investment permits, taxation, foreign exchange control, and trade
regulations,
. Impacts from natural disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunami,
typhoons, and hurricanes,
. Social unrest prompted by such events as war, international
disputes, riots, terrorism, and strikes,
. Globally pervasive economic disruption caused by sudden uctuations
in exchange rates,
. An epidemic of a highly infectious disease with a high mortality rate,
such as a new type of inuenza.
When expanding to a new overseas location, we closely examine
local political and economic conditions as well as its culture, customs
and public health situation, and strive to eliminate as effectively as
possible whatever risks may exist. Nevertheless, unexpected events
do occur and the state of the world does change in ways that cannot
always be fully anticipated. Such developments, which include advanced
information and communications technology, increasingly borderless
economic and cultural environments, the frequency of terrorist activities
and the spread of new infectious diseases, could have a material impact
on the business results and nancial conditions of the Group.

4. Computer Viruses, Hackers and Cyber-Terrorism


The Company has established a backup system for its computer lines.
We are also working to enhance backup capabilities to minimize
damage to hardware and data in the event of natural disasters, such as
earthquakes or severe storms and flooding. The Company has taken
all possible measures to prevent unauthorized access to its systems
from outside and to block infection of its systems by computer viruses.
Specically, we have installed rewalls and virus-checking software into
our mail servers and all terminals. Despite these defensive measures,
it is possible that unforeseen situations, such as the use of technology
that breaches presumed security protocols and allows a hacker to
gain entry to in-house information systems, could lead to a temporary
shutdown of system functions or facilitate unauthorized disclosure of
information. Such situation could hurt the business results and nancial
conditions of the Group.

5. Leaks of Customer Information Leading to Claims for


Damages and Tarnished Credibility
The YLK Group handles a vast amount of customer information and also
undertake customs clearance services. We thus have an obligation to
protect customer information and strive to prevent information from
leaking outside. Despite such precautions, it is possible that unforeseen
circumstance could result in an information leak. The Groups business
results could be adversely affected if, for example, such leak were to
lead to claims for damages or if the situation tarnished the Groups
reputation.

6. Exchange Rate Fluctuations


The YLK Group endeavors to minimize the impact of exchange rate
uctuations on foreign-currency-denominated receivables and payables
by utilizing forward exchange contracts, and does not take such risk
that would exert a major impact on the Groups business. However, in
preparing the Groups consolidated nancial statements, the Company
translates the financial results of overseas consolidated subsidiaries
into yen, and changes in exchange rates could affect the consolidated
business results and nancial conditions of the Group.

7. Statutory Regulations
The Company is licensed by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure,
Transport and Tourism as a provider of type 2 freight use forwarding
services, based on Article 20 of the Freight Use Forwarding Business
Law, and conducts air and ocean freight forwarding operations the
primary business of the YLK Group. While this license has no expiration
date, if and when an event of the Company justifies suspension or
withdrawal of the business as stipulated on Article 33 of the law,
the Companys business could be partially or completely suspended
for a set period or permission to engage in such business could be
withdrawn. As of preparation of this document, the YLK Group has not
encountered any such event, but if and when such situations, including
withdrawal of permission to conduct business, may occur for whatever
reason, they could have a material impact on the Groups business
results and nancial conditions.
In addition, the YLK Group is subject to various statutory regulations
in different parts of the world. Major ones include social regulations
(such as those ensuring safety) and legal regulations associated with
transportation services. In Japan, the Company has obtained approval
and required licenses, including the aforementioned permission
to provide type 2 freight use forwarding services, from the relevant
authorities. If statutory regulations pertaining to such approval and
licenses are amended or if approval and licensing status currently held
are cancelled, the fiscal performance and financial conditions of the

Group could be adversely affected.

8. Relationship with the NYK Group


(1) Role of the Company within the NYK Group
As of March 31, 2011, the NYK Group consisted of Nippon Yusen
Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK), 687 consolidated subsidiaries and 112
companies accounted for by the equity method. These companies
primarily conduct integrated logistics business centered largely on
ocean transportation.
The business of the Company, one of consolidated subsidiaries
of NYK, and its Group companies, centers largely on the use of air
transportation. No other company within the NYK Group conducts
business operations using air transportation in the same manner as
the Company, which is licensed by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure,
Transport and Tourism as a provider of type 2 freight use forwarding
services.
Moreover, the Company strives to ensure its independence as a
listed company. As such, the Company does not need prior approval
from NYK for its own decision-making.

Business transactions take place under the same conditions as general


transactions, taking market conditions into consideration.
a) Transactions with NYK
The main business relationships between the Company and NYK are
transactions in which NYK consigns the transportation of ocean cargo
to the Company. Business transactions in this scal year amounted
to 594 million.
b) Transactions with other consolidated subsidiaries of NYK
The Companys main business relationships with other companies
in the NYK Group are transactions involving ocean transportation
and related peripheral business, which are consigned to UNI-X
Corporation and 51 other companies. In this fiscal year business
transactions amounted to 7,662 million.

(2) Business relationship with NYK and its consolidated subsidiaries


(excluding the YLK Group)
The Companys main business relationships with NYK and its
consolidated subsidiaries during this fiscal year are as follows.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Yusen Logistics Co., Ltd. and Consolidated Subsidiaries
Years Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010

1. BASIS OF PRESENTING CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the provisions set forth in the Japanese Companies Act and
Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and their related accounting regulations
and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan
("Japanese GAAP"), which are different in certain respects as to application and
disclosure requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards.
Under Japanese GAAP, a consolidated statement of comprehensive income
is required from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 and has been presented
herein. Accordingly, accumulated other comprehensive income is presented in the
consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of changes in equity.
Information with respect to other comprehensive income for the year ended March
31, 2010 is disclosed in Note 15. In addition, net income before minority interests
is disclosed in the consolidated statement of income from the year ended March
31, 2011.

In preparing these consolidated nancial statements, certain reclassications


and rearrangements have been made to the consolidated financial statements
issued domestically in order to present them in a form which is more familiar to
readers outside Japan. In addition, certain reclassications have been made in the
2010 nancial statements to conform to the classications used in 2011.
The consolidated financial statements are stated in Japanese yen, the
currency of the country in which Yusen Logistics Co., Ltd. (the "Company") is
incorporated and operates. The translations of Japanese yen amounts into U.S.
dollar amounts are included solely for the convenience of readers outside Japan
and have been made at the rate of 83.15 to $1, the approximate rate of exchange
at March 31, 2011. Such translations should not be construed as representations
that the Japanese yen amounts could be converted into U.S. dollars at that or any
other rate.

year. The Company included operating results
of these subsidiaries for the 12-month period
ended March 31, 2011 in the consolidated
statements of income, and included their
operating results for the 3-month period
ended March 31, 2010 in the consolidated
statements of changes in equity representing
the effect of changes in the scal year-ends of
these consolidated subsidiaries.
These consolidated subsidiaries changed their
company names after March 31, 2011.

Under the control or influence concept, those companies in which the


Company, directly or indirectly, is able to exercise control over operations are
fully consolidated, and those companies over which the Group has the ability to
exercise signicant inuences are accounted for by the equity method.
Investments in three (three in 2010) unconsolidated subsidiaries and
two (two in 2010) afliate companies are accounted for by the equity method.
Investments in the remaining unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliate
companies are stated at cost, which is determined by the moving-average
method. If the equity method of accounting had been applied to the investments
in these companies, the effect on the accompanying consolidated financial
statements would not be material.
The excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets
of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition is being amortized over a
period of ve years. The goodwill resulting from the acquisition of the business of
NYK Logistics (Japan) Co., Ltd. is being amortized over a period of three years.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. All material unrealized profit included in assets
resulting from transactions within the Group is eliminated.
b. Unication for Accounting Policies Applied to Foreign Subsidiaries for the
Consolidated Financial Statements
In May 2006, the Accounting Standards Board of Japan (the ASBJ) issued ASBJ
Practical Issues Task Force (PITF) No.18, Practical Solution on Unification
of Accounting Policies Applied to Foreign Subsidiaries for the Consolidated
Financial Statements. PITF No.18 prescribes: (1) the accounting policies
and procedures applied to a parent company and its subsidiaries for similar
transactions and events under similar circumstances should in principle
be unified for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, (2)
financial statements prepared by foreign subsidiaries in accordance with
either International Financial Reporting Standards or the generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America tentatively may be used
for the consolidation process, (3) however, the following items should be
adjusted in the consolidation process so that net income is accounted for in
accordance with Japanese GAAP unless they are not material: 1) amortization
of goodwill; 2) scheduled amortization of actuarial gain or loss of pensions that
has been directly recorded in the equity; 3) expensing capitalized development
costs of R&D; 4) cancellation of the fair value model accounting for property,
plant, and equipment and investment properties and incorporation of the cost
model accounting; 5) recording the prior years' effects of changes in accounting
policies in the income statement where retrospective adjustments to nancial
statements have been incorporated; and 6) exclusion of minority interests from
net income, if contained.
c. Business Combination
In October 2003, the Business Accounting Council (the BAC) issued a Statement
of Opinion, Accounting for Business Combinations, and in December 2005,
the ASBJ issued ASBJ Statement No.7, Accounting Standard for Business
Divestitures and ASBJ Guidance No.10, Guidance for Accounting Standard for
Business Combinations and Business Divestitures. The accounting standard for
business combinations allowed companies to apply the pooling of interests method
of accounting only when certain specic criteria are met such that the business
combination is essentially regarded as a uniting-of-interests. For business
combinations that did not meet the uniting-of-interests criteria, the business
combination was considered to be an acquisition and the purchase method
of accounting was required. This standard also prescribed the accounting for
combinations of entities under common control and for joint ventures.
In December 2008, the ASBJ issued a revised accounting standard
for business combinations, ASBJ Statement No.21, Accounting Standard
for Business Combinations. Major accounting changes under the revised
accounting standard are as follows: (1) The revised standard requires
accounting for business combinations only by the purchase method. As a result,
the pooling of interests method of accounting is no longer allowed. (2) The
current accounting standard accounts for research and development costs to be
charged to income as incurred. Under the revised standard, in-process research
and development (IPR&D) acquired in the business combination is capitalized as
an intangible asset. (3) The previous accounting standard provided for a bargain
purchase gain (negative goodwill) to be systematically amortized over a period

24

Yusen Logistics Annual Report 2011

not exceeding 20 years. Under the revised standard, the acquirer recognizes
the bargain purchase gain in prot or loss immediately on the acquisition date
after reassessing and conrming that all of the assets acquired and all of the
liabilities assumed have been identied after a review of the procedures used in
the purchase allocation. This standard was applicable to business combinations
undertaken on or after April 1, 2010. The Company adopted this standard on
April 1, 2010.
d. Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are short-term investments that are readily convertible
into cash and that are exposed to insignicant risk of changes in value. Cash
equivalents include time deposits of which mature or become due within three
months of the date of acquisition.
e. Investments in Securities
Securities are classified into three categories, depending on management's
intent: trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. The Company classies
all investments in securities as available-for-sale securities. Marketable
available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized
gains and losses, net of applicable taxes, reported under accumulated other
comprehensive income in a separate component of equity. Non-marketable
available-for-sale securities are stated at cost determined by the movingaverage method. For other than temporary declines in fair value, nonmarketable investment securities are reduced to net realizable value by a
charge to income.
f. Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property,
plant and equipment of the Company and domestic consolidated subsidiaries is
computed substantially by the declining-balance method at rates based on the
estimated useful lives of the assets, except for the buildings and structures at
Toyooka distribution center, Iwata distribution center and Yusen Air Fukumoto
building which are depreciated on the straight-line method. The depreciation of
property, plant and equipment of foreign consolidated subsidiaries is generally
computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets. The range of useful lives is principally as follows:
Buildings and structures ............................3-60 years
Furniture and xtures ................................2-20 years
Machinery, equipment and vehicles...........4-6 years
g. Other Assets
Amortization of intangible assets included in other assets is computed by the
straight-line method. Software for internal use is amortized over a five-year
period.
h. Long-lived Assets
The Group reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstance indicate the carrying amount of an asset or asset
group may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized
if the carrying amount of an asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the
undiscounted future cash ows expected to result from the continued use and
eventual disposition of the asset or asset group. The impairment loss would be
measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its
recoverable amount, which is the higher of the discounted cash ows from the
continued use and eventual disposition of the asset or the net selling price at
disposition.
i. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Group provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aggregated
amount of estimated credit losses for doubtful receivables plus an amount for
receivables other than doubtful receivables calculated using historical write off
experience over a certain period.
j. Accrued Bonuses to Employees
Employees are paid bonuses in June of every year. The bonuses include amounts
for services rendered during the previous fiscal year which are recorded as
accrued bonuses on the balance sheet as of the respective scal year-end.

k. Accrued Pension and Severance Costs


Employee's retirement and pension plansThe Company and certain domestic
consolidated subsidiaries have a non-contributory funded defined benefit
pension plan and an unfunded retirement benet plan. Certain of the Companys
domestic consolidated subsidiaries have a contributory funded defined
contribution pension plan, while certain foreign consolidated subsidiaries have
either a non-contributory funded dened benet pension plan or a contributory
funded dened contribution pension plan.
The liability for employees' retirement benets is accounted for based on
projected benet obligations and plan assets at the balance sheet date.
In July 2008, the ASBJ issued ASBJ Statement No. 19, Partial Amendments
to Accounting Standard for Retirement Benefits (Part 3), which removed the
option of using a discount rate determined by taking into consideration the
fluctuations in yield of bonds over a certain period, as provided in Note 7 of
Interpretive Note to the Accounting Standard for Retirement Benefits. The
yield of a long term safe bond on closing date should be used for the calculation
of the discount rate in this accounting standard. The Company applied the
revised accounting standard effective April 1, 2009, however, there was no effect
from this change.
Retirement allowance for directors and corporate auditorsRetirement allowance
for directors and corporate auditors for certain subsidiaries are recorded to
state the liability at the amount that would be required if all directors and
corporate auditors retired at each balance sheet date.
l. Asset Retirement Obligations
In March 2008, the ASBJ published the accounting standard for asset retirement
obligations, ASBJ Statement No.18 Accounting Standard for Asset Retirement
Obligations and ASBJ Guidance No.21 Guidance on Accounting Standard
for Asset Retirement Obligations. Under this accounting standard, an asset
retirement obligation is dened as a legal obligation imposed either by law or
contract that results from the acquisition, construction, development and the
normal operation of a tangible xed asset and is associated with the retirement
of such tangible xed asset. The asset retirement obligation is recognized as
the sum of the discounted cash ows required for the future asset retirement
and is recorded in the period in which the obligation is incurred if a reasonable
estimate can be made. If a reasonable estimate of the asset retirement
obligation cannot be made in the period the asset retirement obligation is
incurred, the liability should be recognized when a reasonable estimate of asset
retirement obligation can be made. Upon initial recognition of a liability for an
asset retirement obligation, an asset retirement cost is capitalized by increasing
the carrying amount of the related xed asset by the amount of the liability. The
asset retirement cost is subsequently allocated to expense through depreciation
over the remaining useful life of the asset. Over time, the liability is accreted
to its present value each period. Any subsequent revisions to the timing or the
amount of the original estimate of undiscounted cash ows are reected as an
increase or a decrease in the carrying amount of the liability and the capitalized
amount of the related asset retirement cost. This standard was effective for
scal years beginning on or after April 1, 2010.
The Company applied this accounting standard effective April 1, 2010.
The effect of this change was to decrease operating income by 1 million ($ 9
thousand) and income before income taxes and minority interests by 12 million
($ 147 thousand). The asset retirement obligations that the Group recognized
upon applying this standard aggregated 14 million ($ 167 thousand).
m. Provision for alleged Anti-Monopoly Act violation
On March 18, 2009 the Company received the notice of a cease-and-desist
order and a surcharge payment order from the Japan Fair Trade Commission
(the "JFTC") for violations of Article 3 of the Anti-Monopoly Act (prohibition
of unreasonable restraint of trade). In the period that followed, the Company
scrutinized, confirmed and carefully examined the JFTC orders. Determining
that it was unable to accept the orders as a result of these steps, the Company
resolved at an Extraordinary Meeting of the Board of Directors held on April 17,
2009 to le an application for the commencement of hearings with the JFTC and
received the notices of the acceptance of hearings on July 3, 2009. The hearings
were conducted twice during the current fiscal year and still continue as of

the lling date of the consolidated nancial statements. The estimated losses
arising from surcharge payment order were recorded as a provision in the
balance sheet as of March 31, 2011 and 2010.
n. Leases
In March 2007, the ASBJ issued ASBJ Statement No. 13, Accounting Standard
for Lease Transactions, which revised the previous accounting standard for
lease transactions issued in June 1993. The revised accounting standard for lease
transactions was effective for scal years beginning on or after April 1, 2008.
Under the previous accounting standard, nance leases that were deemed
to transfer ownership of the leased property to the lessee were capitalized.
However, other nance leases were permitted to be accounted for as operating
lease transactions if certain as if capitalized information was disclosed in
the note to the lessees nancial statements. The revised accounting standard
requires that all finance lease transactions be capitalized to recognize lease
assets and lease obligations in the balance sheet. In addition, the accounting
standard permits leases which existed at the transition date and do not transfer
ownership of the leased property to the lessee to continue to be accounted for
as operating lease transactions.
The Company applied the revised accounting standard effective April 1,
2008. In addition, the Company continues to account for leases which existed at
the transition date and do not transfer ownership of the leased property to the
lessee as operating lease transactions.
All other leases are accounted for as operating leases.
o. Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is computed based on the pretax income included
in the consolidated statement of income. The asset and liability approach is
used to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax
consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the
tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred taxes are measured by applying
currently enacted tax laws to the temporary differences.
p. Accounting for the Consumption Tax
In Japan, the consumption tax is imposed at a at rate of 5% on all domestic
consumption of goods and services (with certain exemptions). The consumption
tax imposed on the Group's domestic sales to customers is withheld by the
Group at the time of sale and is subsequently paid to the national government.
The consumption tax withheld upon sale and the consumption tax paid by the
Group on the purchases of goods and services are not included in the related
amounts in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
q. Appropriation of Retained Earnings
Appropriations of retained earnings are reected in the nancial statements for
the following year upon shareholders' approval.
r. Treasury Stock
Under the Japanese Companies Act, the Company is allowed to acquire its own
shares to the extent that the aggregate cost of treasury stock does not exceed
the maximum amount available for dividends. Treasury stock is stated at cost
in the equity of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Net gain on
disposal of treasury stock is presented under "Capital surplus'' in the equity of
the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
s. Foreign Currency Transactions
All short-term and long-term monetary receivables and payables denominated
in foreign currencies are translated into Japanese yen at the exchange rates at
the balance sheet date. The foreign exchange gains and losses from translation
are recognized in the consolidated statement of income.
t. Foreign Currency Financial Statements
The balance sheet accounts of foreign consolidated subsidiaries, and foreign
subsidiaries accounted for by the equity method are translated into Japanese
yen at the current exchange rate as of the balance sheet date except for equity,
which is translated at historical rate. Differences arising from such translations
are shown as "Foreign currency translation adjustments" under accumulated

Yusen Logistics Annual Report 2011

25

other comprehensive income in a separate component of equity.


Revenue and expense accounts of foreign consolidated subsidiaries are
translated into Japanese yen at the average exchange rates.
u. Derivatives
The Group uses derivative nancial instruments to manage their exposures to
uctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates. Foreign exchange forward
contracts are utilized by the Group. The Group does not enter into derivatives
for trading or speculative purposes.
Derivative financial instruments and foreign currency transactions are
classified and accounted for as follows: (a) all derivatives are recognized as
either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value, and gains or losses on
derivative transactions are recognized in the consolidated statement of income
and (b) for derivatives used for hedging purposes, if derivatives qualify for hedge
accounting because of high correlation and effectiveness between the hedging
instruments and the hedged items, gains or losses on derivatives are deferred
until maturity of the hedged transactions.
The foreign exchange forward contracts employed to hedge foreign
exchange exposures in the Group's operating activities measured at the fair
value and the unrealized gains/losses are recognized in income.
v. Per Share Information
Net assets per share is computed based on the outstanding shares of common
stock at relevant balance sheet dates.
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available
to shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock
outstanding for the period.
Diluted net income per share for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
is not presented since the Company had no securities with dilutive effect.
Cash dividends per share presented in the accompanying consolidated
statements of income are dividends applicable to the respective years including
dividends to be paid after the end of the year.
w. New Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Changes and Error CorrectionsIn December 2009, ASBJ issued
ASBJ Statement No. 24 Accounting Standard for Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections and ASBJ Guidance No. 24 Guidance on Accounting Standard for
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. Accounting treatments under this
standard and guidance are as follows:
(1) Changes in Accounting Policies - When a new accounting policy is
applied with revision of accounting standards, the new policy is applied
retrospectively unless the revised accounting standards include specific
transitional provisions. When the revised accounting standards include
specific transitional provisions, an entity shall comply with the specific
transitional provisions.
(2) Changes in Presentations - When the presentation of financial statements
is changed, prior period financial statements are reclassified in accordance
with the new presentation.
(3) Changes in Accounting Estimates - A change in an accounting estimate is
accounted for in the period of the change if the change affects that period
only, and is accounted for prospectively if the change affects both the period
of the change and future periods.
(4) Corrections of Prior Period Errors - When an error in prior period financial
statements is discovered, those statements are restated.
This accounting standard and the guidance are applicable to accounting
changes and corrections of prior period errors which are made from the
beginning of the fiscal year that begins on or after April 1, 2011.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATION
On October 1, 2010, the Company acquired certain of the net assets of NYK
Logistics (Japan) Co., Ltd. (NLJ) as well as NLJs operations related to
international ocean freight forwarding, related agency services, container
consolidation, and other services.
The Company and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK LINE) have agreed
to integrate their logistics businesses with the purpose of establishing a firm
position as a world-class logistics service provider through the reorganization and
optimization of their logistics business units. This acquisition was an integration of
their domestic logistics businesses as a part of the overall integration.
The results of operations of NLJ are included in the Groups consolidated
nancial statements of income from the date of acquisition.
In accordance with the ASBJ Statement No.21, Accounting Standard for
Business Combinations and ASBJ Guidance No.10, Guidance on Accounting
Standard for Business Combinations and Accounting Standard for Business
Divestitures, this acquisition was accounted as an acquisition with cash
consideration of a business under common control.
The aggregate acquisition cost was 143 million ($ 1,719 thousand) in cash in
accordance with the Business Transfer Agreement. Goodwill of 59 million ($702
thousand) which represents the expected excess earnings power in the future
from the business integration is reported within the Japan segment. The amount
of the goodwill is net of taxes and is subject to amortization using the straightline method over a period of three years.
The proforma information giving effect as if the combination had been
completed at the beginning of the current scal year is not presented due to minor
effect on the consolidated statements of income.

4. LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Group reviewed its long-lived assets for impairment as of the year ended
March 31, 2011 and 2010. Due to a signicant decline in market value of certain
xed assets which were planned to be disposed by sale, the Group recognized an
impairment loss of 66 million ($797 thousand) and 229 million as other expense
for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively. The impairment loss
of 66 million for the year ended March 31, 2011 was recorded on idle assets in
Osaka. The impairment loss for the year ended March 31, 2010 consisted of 136
million on certain land, building and structure in Aichi and 93 million on idle
assets in Osaka. The carrying amounts of the relevant assets were written down to
the recoverable amounts. The recoverable amounts of those assets planned to be
disposed by sale were measured at their net selling price determined by quotation
from a third-party vendor.

5. INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES
The cost and aggregate fair values of the investments classied as "available-for-sale securities" at March 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

As is customary in Japan, the Company maintains substantial deposit balances with banks with which it has borrowings. Such deposit balances are not legally or
contractually restricted as to withdrawal.
General agreements with respective banks provide, as is customary in Japan, that additional collateral must be provided under certain circumstances if requested by
such banks and that certain banks have the right to offset cash deposited with them against any long-term or short-term debt or obligation that becomes due and, in case
of default and certain other specied events, against all other debt payable to the banks. The Company has never been requested to provide any additional collateral.

7. RETIREMENT AND PENSION PLANS


The Company and certain consolidated subsidiaries have severance payment plans
for employees, directors and corporate auditors. Under most circumstances,
employees terminating their employment are entitled to retirement benefits
determined based on the rate of pay at the time of termination, years of service
and certain other factors. Such retirement benefits are made in the form of a
lump-sum severance payment from the Company or from certain consolidated
subsidiaries and annuity payments from a trustee. Employees are entitled to
larger payments if the termination is involuntary, by retirement at the mandatory
retirement age, by death, or by voluntary retirement at certain specic ages prior
to the mandatory retirement age.

Accrued pension and severance costs for employees at March 31, 2011 and 2010

8. EQUITY
Japanese companies are subject to the Companies Act of Japan (the "Companies
Act"). The significant provisions in the Companies Act that affect financial and
accounting matters are summarized below:
a. Dividends
Under the Companies Act, companies can pay dividends at any time during the
scal year in addition to the year-end dividend upon resolution at the shareholders
meeting. For companies that meet certain criteria such as; (1) having the Board
of Directors, (2) having independent auditors, (3) having the Board of Corporate
Auditors, and (4) the term of service of the directors is prescribed as one year
rather than two years of normal term by its articles of incorporation, the Board of
Directors may declare dividends (except for dividends in kind) at any time during
the scal year if the company has prescribed so in its articles of incorporation.
The Company meets all the above criteria.
Semiannual interim dividends may also be paid once a year upon resolution
by the Board of Directors if the articles of incorporation of the company so
stipulate. The Companies Act provides certain limitations on the amounts
available for dividends or the purchase of treasury stock. The limitation is dened
as the amount available for distribution to the shareholders, but the amount of net
assets after dividends must be maintained at no less than 3 million.

be appropriated as a legal reserve (a component of retained earnings) or as


additional paid-in capital (a component of capital surplus) depending on the equity
account charged upon the payment of such dividends until the total of aggregate
amount of legal reserve and additional paid-in capital equals 25% of the common
stock. Under the Companies Act, the total amount of additional paid-in capital
and legal reserve may be reversed without limitation. The Companies Act also
provides that common stock, legal reserve, additional paid-in capital, other capital
surplus and retained earnings can be transferred among the accounts under
certain conditions upon resolution of the shareholders.
c. Treasury Stock and Treasury Stock Acquisition Rights
The Companies Act also provides for companies to purchase treasury stock
and dispose of such treasury stock by resolution of the Board of Directors. The
amount of treasury stock purchased cannot exceed the amount available for
distribution to the shareholders which is determined by specic formula.
Under the Companies Act, stock acquisition rights are presented as a
separate component of equity.
The Companies Act also provides that companies can purchase both treasury
stock acquisition rights and treasury stock. Such treasury stock acquisition rights
are presented as a separate component of equity or deducted directly from stock
acquisition rights.

b. Increases/Decreases and Transfer of Common Stock, Reserve and Surplus


The Companies Act requires that an amount equal to 10% of dividends must

9. INCOME TAXES
The Company and domestic consolidated subsidiaries are subject to Japanese national and local income taxes which, in the aggregate, resulted in a normal effective
statutory rate of approximately 40.4% for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
The tax effects of signicant temporary differences resulted in deferred tax assets and liabilities at March 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RELATED DISCLOSURES


In March, 2008, the ASBJ revised ASBJ Statement No.10 Accounting Standard for
Financial Instruments and issued ASBJ Guidance No.19 Guidance on Accounting
Standard for Financial Instruments and Related Disclosures. This accounting standard
and the guidance was applicable to nancial instruments and related disclosures at the
end of the scal years ending on or after March 31, 2010. The Group applied the revised
accounting standard and the new guidance effective March 31, 2010.
(1) Group policy for nancial instruments
The Group limits the use of nancial instruments for fund management purposes

to short term bank deposits. The Group also makes it the basic policy to use the
cash management system operated within the Group and bank loans to fund its
ongoing operations. Derivatives are used, not for speculative purposes, but to
manage exposure to nancial risks as described in (2) below.
(2) Nature and extent of risks arising from nancial instruments
Receivables such as trade notes and trade accounts are exposed to customer credit
risk. Although receivables in foreign currencies are exposed to the market risk of
uctuation in foreign currency exchange rates, the position, net of payables in foreign
Yusen Logistics Annual Report 2011

29

currencies, is hedged by using forward foreign currency contracts. Investment


securities, mainly equity securities of customers and suppliers of the Group, are
exposed to the risk of market price uctuations.
Payment terms of payables, such as trade notes and trade accounts, are less
than one year. Although payables in foreign currencies are exposed to the market risk
of uctuation in foreign currency exchange rates, those risks are netted against the
balance of receivables denominated in the same foreign currency as noted above.
Loans, principally from financial institutions, in long-term debt are mainly for
nancing related to business integration and investment in property.
Derivatives, which are forward foreign currency contracts, are used to manage
exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates of
receivables and payables. Please see Note 12 for more detail about derivatives.

resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Such foreign


exchange risk is hedged principally by forward foreign currency contracts. In
addition, when foreign currency trade receivables and payables are expected from
forecasted transaction, forward foreign currency contract may be used under the
limited contract term of quarter year.
Investment securities are managed by monitoring market values and nancial
position of issuers on a regular basis.
The execution and management of derivative transactions are approved by
CFO or the board of directors according to the internal guidelines which prescribe
the authority and the limit for each transaction. Counterparties to these derivative
transactions are limited to major nancial institutions in order to mitigate credit
risks.

(3) Risk management for nancial instruments


Credit Risk Management
Credit risk is the risk of economic loss arising from a counterparty's failure to
repay or service debt according to the contractual terms. The Group manages
its credit risk from receivables on the basis of internal guidelines, which include
monitoring of payment term and balances of major customers by each business
administration department to identify the default risk of customers in early stage.
The maximum credit risk exposure of financial assets is limited to their
carrying amounts as of March 31, 2011.

Liquidity risk management


Liquidity risk comprises the risk that the Group cannot meet its contractual
obligations in full on maturity dates. The Group manages its liquidity risk by
holding adequate volumes of liquid assets, along with adequate nancial planning
by the corporate treasury department.

Market risk management (foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk)
Foreign currency trade receivables and payables are exposed to market risk

(4) Fair values of nancial instruments


Fair values of nancial instruments are based on quoted price in active markets.
If quoted price is not available, other rational valuation techniques are used
instead. As the valuation needs various assumptions, the fair values of nancial
instruments are subject to change when different assumptions are used. Also
please see Note 12 for the detail of fair value for derivatives.

Current assets and liabilities


The fair value of all current assets and liabilities (cash and cash equivalents, time
deposit, trade notes and accounts receivable, trade notes and accounts payable,
current portion of long-term debt, and accrued income taxes) is considered to be
equivalent to their carrying amount due to their short- term maturities.
Investments in securities (available-for-sale securities)
The fair values of investments in securities are measured at the quoted market
price of the stock exchange of the equity instruments, and at the quotes obtained
from the nancial institution for certain debt instruments.
All investments in securities are classied as available-for-sale securities.
The information of the fair values of investments in securities is included in Note 5.

Long-term debt
-Long-term loans payable
The fair value of long-term debt on floating rates approximates carrying
amount due to the oating rate determined by the market interest rate in the
short term.

12. DERIVATIVES
The Group enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce the exposure to uctuations in interest rates risks and foreign exchange rates associated with certain
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.
All derivative transactions are entered into to hedge interest and foreign currency exposures incorporated within its business. Accordingly, market risk in these
derivatives is basically offset by opposite movements in the value of hedged assets or liabilities.
Because the counterparties to these derivatives are limited to major international nancial institutions, the Group does not anticipate any losses arising from credit risk.
Derivative transactions entered into by the Group have been made in accordance with internal policies which regulate their authorization.
The Group had the following derivatives contracts outstanding at March 31, 2011 and 2010:

For the year ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
In March 2008, the ASBJ revised ASBJ Statement No.17 Accounting Standard for Segment Information Disclosures and issued ASBJ Guidance No.20 Guidance on
Accounting Standard for Segment Information Disclosures. Under the standard and guidance, an entity is required to report nancial and descriptive information about
its reportable segments. Reportable segments are operating segments or aggregations of operating segments that meet specied criteria. Operating segments are
components of an entity about which separate nancial information is available and such information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in
deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Generally, segment information is required to be reported on the same basis as is used internally for
evaluating operating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to operating segments. This accounting standard and the guidance are applicable to
segment information disclosures for the scal years beginning on or after April 1, 2010.
The segment information for the year ended March 31, 2010 under the revised accounting standard is also disclosed hereunder as required.
1. Description of reportable segments
The Group's reportable segments are those for which separate nancial information is available and regular evaluation by the Company's management is being performed
in order to decide how resources are allocated among the Group. The Group mainly provides global logistics services. In order to provide its services over large region,
the regional headquarters which are located in Japan, USA, Netherlands, Hong Kong, and Singapore control the group companies in Japan, Americas, Europe, East Asia,
and South Asia and Oceania, respectively. Thus, the Group's reportable operating segments are based on geographical service providing structures, which consist of ve
regions: Japan, Americas, Europe, East Asia and South Asia and Oceania.
