Annual Report
Creating harmony between people and technology
We looked inside ourselves to find the thought that defines and drives everything we do. An idea that helps us open up to experience the world in a new way. An idea to drive us forward.
Open up. Sense more.

An idea. A dream. An inspiration.
The key to our success

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 tablet s userfriendly interface and versatility. To this day, the 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 sectors, 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 such as traveling executives, doctors and financial analysts. We incorporated pen-sensor and multi-touch sensor components into laptop PCs 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. Our tablets continue to be adopted into new application areas, 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. Were looking forward to seeing where this takes us. Its going to be an exciting journey.

Strengthening of the leadership in tablet business Expansion of components business Improvement and global development of branding New business development, R&D
Toward becoming the de facto standard for the Digital Paper era
How did we do in our 27th year?

The 27th fiscal year started in the midst of a global economic crisis, full of uncer tainty. Up to Q2, our business suffered from weak demand for tablets and a slowdown in our component business. In Q3 the tablet business began to recover, along with the global economic recovery, just in time for the launch of our new products. On the other hand, the component shipments for Windows 7 PCs did not reach our original expectations. Further impacted by appreciation of the Japanese yen against other key currencies, we closed the fiscal year with negative growth in both revenue and profit. In the area of technology and product development, we made significant progress and launched many new products. Intuos4 - wireless model, the new Bamboo series with pen and multi-finger touch functions, the new interactive pen display models and the Nextbeat digital DJ device, are among those launched during the fiscal year. We also successfully star ted volume production of multi-finger touch sensors for major PC manufacturers. As a result, for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010, we recorded net sales of 32,045 million (down 5.2%), operating income of 3,128 million (down 27.5%), ordinary income of 3,156 million (down 24.5%), and net income of 1,968 million (down 23.7%). ernment, and improved digital security, will increase our business opportunities. We expect to grow our component business beyond traditional PC segments, serving new segments such as Slate PCs, e-Books and other new mobile platforms. While we will continue to enhance our global leadership in natural user interface solutions, we will invest in development of emerging markets such as China, India, and South America. Building solid business foundations and global brand leadership for the future is our focus for emerging markets and to leverage our component business, continuing to strive in delivering natural and intuitive user interface technologies for a wide range of IT platforms.
Your dividend
To 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, 2010. 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 you

We are committed to enhancing our corporate value through the ongoing development of exciting new technologies, investment in talented people and development of our business infrastructure. We will accelerate our business growth, improve efficiency and profitability. We take our social responsibility seriously and continue to improve our corporate governance and compliance. Your support is invaluable and is essential to our continuing success. We thank you ver y much for your unchanging support.
Where are we heading in our 28th year?

For the 28th fiscal year, we expect to see continued recovery of the global economy and some acceleration driven by emerging markets in the second half. In addition to the growth of professional markets, we expect interactive pen display markets to grow in medical, education, and security segments. For the component business, new product categories such as Slate type PCs and e-Books will emerge as new customer segments. Taking into account our business outlook and necessary investments for the future, we project net sales of 37,800 million (up 18.0%), operating income of 3,820 million (up 22.1%), ordinary income of 3,780 million ( up 19.8%), and net income of 2,370 million ( up 20.4%) for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011. We also announced the new mid-term business plan WP-1015 that targets net sales of 100 billion and operating income over 15% by the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014. During the mid-term period, we expect to see strong expansion of digital content industries in emerging regions and growth of our consumer business following the growth of the digital content industry globally. Furthermore, continued IT investments in medical and educational fields, including investments in digital gov-

Where are we now?

New generation Bamboo, the first interactive pen tablet combining multi-touch and pen input offered an intuitive way.
In October 2009, Wacom unveiled globally a new consumer tablet, Bamboo, which merges multi-touch functionality of two fingers with existing pen tablet technologies. It s aimed at a wide range of fields, not only for digital photo retouching, illustration, animation and blogging but also for hobby use in digital scrapbooking, popular in the U.S. and Europe and generally as an alternative to a mouse device. The new gesture control, by using two fingers enables a more intuitive interaction with computer interface functions such as scrolling through a web site, zooming in and out of text, etc. In addition, as a strategy to acquire new users, Wacom has started offering online, small software applications like games, tools, etc that are fun and useful for using with a pen tablet. As a result, the new generation Bamboo recorded the best ever sales quarter for a consumer model from October to December in 2009. The Company aims for further sales expansion in the next fiscal year.
The professional pen tablet, Intuos 4 gained a high reputation all around the world and showed outstanding success in 3D film production.
In April, 2009 Wacom released Intuos 4 which is used for high-quality digital content creation such as film and TV, web design, and industrial design. Since its launch, a number of prizes including "TIPA Award", "Plus X Award", "Red Dot Award" in Europe and "Good Design Award" in Japan were awarded, further promoting its high reputation all around the world. Intuos4 has increased sales in emerging countries such as China and India following a global growth in digital content creation and publishing. Intuos series pen tablets are used for creating advanced computer graphics in the latest 3D film productions including "Avatar which has widened the business field.

Major PC manufacturers have adopted the Wacom multi-touch sensor system and are set to mass produce.
In October 2009, Wacom introduced a new brand "Wacom feel IT technologies" for the component business, which provides natural and intuitive user experience technology. In accordance with the release of Windows 7, Wacom developed an original multi-touch sensor system and b e g a n to s h i p to u c h p a n e l s commercially to HP, Lenovo, Toshiba, Fujitsu and other major PC manufacturers along with pen components. Wacom also provided pen components commercially to e-Book manufacturers such as enTourage, Onyx etc., which incorporate a hand writing function in their e-Books. Wacom has developed a new IC controller which has the strength to drive both pen and touch sensor at high speed with high accuracy and with low power assumption. This summer, the company will start to mass produce the IC controller which also enables a touch panel to recognize an unlimited number of fingers at the same time, further strengthening Wacoms position as a global leader in Natural User Interface development and production.
CECA in Spain and other global financial institutions decided to deploy pen tablets to enable digital signature security.
The use of Wacom pen tablets for digital signature security has increased lately. In a successful case with IT security solutions, CECA in Spain adopted about 10,000 tablets for account application agreements, and this case was awarded the "TeleTrusT Innovation Award" in Germany. Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance in Japan has also adopted pen tablets for signing both automobile insurance and fire insurance contracts. Wacom s pen tablets help to contribute in saving paper resources and improving security solutions for such cases as, a digital notary document system in France and the introduction of digital signatures instead of abolishing certificate of a seal impression in Korea. In March 2010, a mobile interactive pen tablet "STU-300" was launched, expanding the product line for digital signature security even further.

Our consumer tablets are for more general users who use computers as part of their digital lifestyle to communicate, share and create content. Our interactive pen displays enable users to write, draw, sketch and scribble directly onto the screen due to the pen sensor being incorporated into the LCD display. Our successful and varied product line-up makes us the clear leader in the tablet market. We command an impressive 85 percent (our estimate approximately) of the global market and 93.8 percent of the Japanese market (BCN research 2010). It will not stop there as Wacom expects the market to accelerate substantially.
Components
Major PC manufacturers worldwide have adopted our pen and multi-touch sensor components. Our components allow laptop PCs and Tablet/Slate devices to be operated naturally with a digital pen and even with the touch of fingers with our original IC controller. Our multi-touch sensor system realizes high-speed and high-precision position sensing of multiple fingers. We have now introduced the above solution with a new brand name called "Wacom feel IT technologies".
Others

The Intuos4, enjoys a high reputation for delivering new product design techniques, incorporating universal design and ergonomics, as well as for being a design tool that offers high productivity to professional users.
Our consumer tablets - Bamboo

Bamboo, our consumer family of tablets, provides 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 used all of our pen-based skill and experience from our professional products to create Bamboo, additionally expanded models combining pen and touch technology. Bamboo can be used and enjoyed on Mac OS, Windows XP, Vista, and 7, and 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.

Cintiq interactive pen displays include high performance and functionality and are used by many professionals from photographers to car designers. Not just for the graphics market, these pen tablets are also invaluable for a variety of additional tasks such as medical recording, educational systems, digital signatures, and order processing.
Ryan Church
Art director and concept designer of Avatar major works
Working in the film and concept design field since 1997 there hasn't been a working day gone by where Ryan Church hasnt been using his Wacom tablet. At the Skywalker Ranch during Episode 2 & 3 of Star Wars he worked with his trusty light gray professional tablet, on the production of James Camerons Avatar he used a fashionable purple Intuos2 and on Star Trek he upgraded to the slick graphite gray Intuos3. Wacom tablets are used in all stages of the production of 3D/Live action feature films, from initial concepts to photorealistic illustration and on to creation, painting, texturing and lighting of these assets. I see this trend increasing, there are a lot of existing software packages I can see being improved with a tablet interface says Church.

Wacom Solutions
Not only are they essential tools for graphics professionals; our pen tablets are also garnering praise in other fields, such as healthcare, education and business. Our technologies are changing lives by affording natural user interface solutions with the advanced pen and multi-touch functionality incorporated in digital products.
Medical care
Did you know that our interactive displays, LCD screen tablets have become popular in a variety of medical areas, including electronic medical charts, pathological reports, endoscopic diagnostic systems, nursing support, diagnostic imaging and bedside terminals? For example, by using digital medical charts instead of conventional paper-based records, medical information can be shared more easily within different hospital departments. Handwritten data and sketches are also being input digitally during interviews and surgical operations, crucially saving time and effort. These charts also significantly reduce the storage space required for medical data and enable easy access to important information.
Education
Presenting educational materials on a screen using a PC and a projector has become common practice in educational institutions from primary and secondary schools, colleges and universities to professional schools, training centers and private e-learning programs. With interactive displays, teachers and lecturers can write notes or draw diagrams on the LCD screen, which are then displayed instantly on a large screen for all to see. In addition, the use of T V phones and web-based whiteboards help with remote instruction and the online correction of student work.
Business
The use of interactive displays is increasingly common among business people in order centers, call centers, cosmetic and beauty salons, corporate and governmental office reception areas and in industrial design environments. The digital pen can be used to capture information during face-to-face meetings with customers, where data in a corporate style can be entered using a handwriting interface. This is simply not possible with a keyboard. Consequently, our pen technology is opening up fresh opportunities in the business arena.
Meetings and presentations

Using an interactive pen display can bring meetings and presentations to life. During discussions, digital data can be viewed on an LCD screen and notes and amendments added and stored spontaneously during the meeting. Not only can the use of such a product help speed up decision-making and communication, but it can also prevent the need for large volumes of photocopying. Using a digital pen to highlight information in real time makes the message stronger, more immediate and easier to comprehend.
13
Components
Our pen sensor components
Not only are our pen sensor components incorporated into our own highquality products, but many other companies use them. Our superior pen sensor technologies are incorporated in almost every Tablet PC as well as e-Books of OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) which recognize pen functionality for IT devices.
Our touch sensor components

Supporting the multi-touch function of PCs, our touch sensor components were developed and adopted by major PC manufacturers. Our multi-touch sensor system allows users to intuitively control a PC by touching the LCD display. In addition, it can be incorporated together with our pen sensor system which provides for handwritten input and image-editing by pen.

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 and Taiwan. In addition to these subsidiaries, we also have sales bases in Shanghai and Moscow. Each of our regional subsidiaries performs multiple functions. These functions are locally administered with local staff to help forge close regional ties. We believe that this balanced approach between global strategy and localized execution maximizes our strength as a global company and helps us to continually offer dynamic products and services that exceed customer expectations. This has been proven by the fact that the percentage of our overseas sales was 78.2% in our 27th fiscal year.
Our market is global, and therefore it is vital to our success that we continue to enhance our global organizations and optimize our business models to offer leading technology, and the most competitive products in terms of features, quality and value across the globe.
Marketing and product management

The United States is home to the worlds most advanced computer graphics market, so naturally this is where we concentrate on building new partnerships and planning new professional products. The focus for our consumer products is different however. For our consumer products, we focus on not only the United States but also Europe, which covers the widest range of use patterns and is the most competitive market, and Japan, where consumers are keen for new trends and demand highly sophisticated products. Asia/Oceania, typical of an emerging region, shows very strong demand in the corporate sector. Therefore, our current emphasis in this region is on business products along with Japan and Europe.
close to our main manufacturing bases in China and Taiwan. The development of our driver software is performed in the United States. Here, we are close to all the global OS developers, such as Microsoft, Apple and Google, as well as leading software application developers. This proximity allows us to work in close partnership with these companies in developing emerging OS and application standards.
Manufacturing
We focus on developing optimal manufacturing models for cost, scalability and product quality leadership. To achieve this, all critical components continue to be made by Wacom, and all high-volume manufacturing is done by partners in China and Taiwan. These manufacturing partners are under the guidance of our QA division to ensure the highest and most consistent product quality. We also have a supply chain management (SCM) base in China. We regularly organize global executive conferences for strategic planning, business updates and knowledgesharing. These conferences provide a platform for us to build and promote our corporate vision and business strategies, and reinforce our companys global position as the industry leader.
Product development
Japan and Taiwan are where we develop most of our technology and design hardware products. This is due to the countrys strong infrastructure for technological development, as well as its geographic location being

Overview of Business Performance

How did the global economy affect our business in our 27th year?
Our business environment for fiscal 2009, the year ended March 31, 2010 has remained severe throughout the fiscal year, due to a decrease of corporate investment in plant and equipment and sluggish consumer consumption. Yet on the other hand, the global economic situation is showing signs of mild recovery, thanks to the economic stimulus measures by each government. In the foreign exchange market, the U.S. dollar and Euro showed a significant depreciation against the Japanese yen compared to the previous fiscal year. The Japanese economy has not attained the full-scale recovery of corporate capital investment and employment though domestic production activities and consumer consumption of automobiles and flat panel TVs showed gradual recovery owing to economic stimulus measures and export expansion to Asian countries. In the US., the financial crisis was averted and consumer consumption went out of the worst period owing to the extension of home buyer tax credit and the federal Cash for Clunkers program. However, the full-scale recovery of corporate capital investment and consumer assumption is considered to require more time due to an on-going high unemployment rate and continuous inventory adjustment. The EU economy shows a pickup owing to the economic stimulus measures by each government. However, each country wasn t on a track to recovery due to the decrease in corporate capital investment, the sluggish consumer consumption caused by worsening employment conditions, and the deep-seated credit crunch for financial institutions demonstrated by Dubai debt crisis and Greece's fiscal problems. The economy in the Asia-Oceania countries in general shows a steady recovery trend. The Chinese economy is making a favorable recovery led by domestic demand as well as export expansion, which also gives South Korea and Taiwan ripple effects of production expansion. Under the above conditions, Wacom aggressively devoted its efforts to developing new technologies, and developing, manufacturing, and selling new products as well as efficient cost control. The professional tablet, Intuos4 released at the end of the previous fiscal year enjoyed a high reputation and the latest 3D filmmaking also expanded the use of tablets. In September, the Company announced a new user interface strategy by adding multi-touch, and at the same time, released a new series of consumer tablets, Bamboo . The Company also began to massproduce and provide a new multi-touch component that supports the functions of Windows 7 to major PC manufacturers, strengthening its leadership in the user interface field. Additionally in the music device field as a new entry, Wacom commercialized a professional DJ device nextbeat and promoted it in Europe mainly. LCD tablets strengthened the product line and released new "Cintiq21UX" which adopted the advanced pen technology of "Intuos4" in March as well as wide-size LCD models and a portable model for digital signature. The Company set up to promote the IT infrastructure such as an ERP system and a global SCM system which increases its productivity and supports its future growth. As a result, the consolidated business results ended in sales of 32.04bn (-5.2% YoY), OP 3.13bn (-27.5% YoY),ordinary profit 3.16bn (-24.5% YoY), and net profit 1.97bn (-23.7% YoY).

Sales Breakdown by Business
(Millions of yen)
2009
Global sales of our tablet business maintained the same level as the previous year in the harsh conditions such as a decrease of corporate investment in plant and equipment and asluggish consumer consumption despite the fact that the Company took the measure of developing new products to drive up consumer demand. In the professional segment, the sales of Intuos4 released at the end of the previous fiscal year and Intuos4 Wireless released in February showed steady growth. On the consumer tablet side, Bamboo series recovered from a sales drop of the previous product in 1H and slightly exceeded the sales level of the previous year owing to Bamboo new series adding multi-touch function launched in September. As for LCD tablets, the sales decreased due to struggle of high-priced models such as Cintiq series for professional graphics fields influenced by the reduction of corporate investment in plant and equipment, despite the favorable sales growth of SignPad for the security field in Europe. With regard to the components business, the multi touch sensor system for Windows 7 was mass-produced and its shipment began in August. However, sales recorded a remarkable decrease because the acknowledgment of the touch function by ordinary users has not advanced enough from initial assumptions and sales to major customers of the components business were also sluggish. As for a professional DJ device, nextbeat as a new entry in the music device field, the new business faced severe results, due to taking more time to change the playing style of professional DJs and to develop a distribution channel than was the initial assumption. As a result, the ESD business sales ended at 31.63bn (-4.3% YoY), and operating profit 4.88bn (-21.4% YoY).

Engineering Collaborative Solutions (ECS) business
ECS business suffered from the severe business environment. Its sales remained at a lower level due to the decrease of manufacturer s investment in plant and equipment. In the above-mentioned situation, the ECS business provided incentives for existing user s to upgrade, and for other CAD product users to replace their existing software by launching the latest product, ECAD / dio Ver. 10.0, an electronic designing CAD solution in September. The business also made efforts to promote sales activities by refurbishing the website and participating in domestic exhibitions and focused on the acquisition and renewal of annual maintenance contracts. As a result, ECS business sales ended at 410mn(-45.3% YoY) and operating loss 109mn (OP 49mn in previous fiscal year).

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

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 requirements 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 JP93.04 = U.S.$1.00, the approximate rate of exchange on March 31, 2010. 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.
The fiscal year end of Wacom China Corporation is December 31. However, for consolidation purposes, the provisional settlement of accounts as of March 31 is utilized. (2) Valuation methods for major assets (a)Securities: Securities held by the Company and its subsidiaries are classified as follows: Held-to-maturity debt securities are stated at cost after accounting for any premium or discount at acquisition, which is amortized over the period to maturity. Other 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 profit or loss in the period in which they arise. (c)Inventories: Inventories held by the Company are stated at the lower of cost or realizable value, cost being determined by the gross average method. (Accounting changes) Accounting Standard for Measurement of Inventories (Accounting Standards Board of Japan Statement No. 9, issued on July 5, 2006) has been adopted effective for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. As a result, operating profit, ordinary income and income before income taxes decreased by 40,330 thousand compared with what would have been reported under the previous accounting policy that inventories held by the Company had been stated at cost. The impact on segment information is explained in Note 16. (3)Depreciation and amortization of major assets (a)Property, plant and equipment: The Company adopted the declining-balance method of depreciation at 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 depreciation. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment held by at the foreign consolidated subsidiaries is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives. Useful lives of major classes of property, plant and equipment are as follows: Buildings and structures 3 to 65 years Machinery, equipment and vehicles3 to 7 years Tools, furniture and fixtures 2 to 20 years
2. Summary of significant accounting policies:

(1) Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its majorityowned subsidiaries (8 companies) (the Company). Majority-owned subsidiaries 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 Taiwa n Information Co., Ltd.

The Company established Wacom Taiwan Information Co., Ltd. in October 2008. Its results of operations have been included in the companys consolidated financial statements since that date. The Company liquidated Wacom Components Europe Ltd. in March 2008. Its results of operations have been excluded from the companys consolidated financial statements since that date. Wacom Digital Solutions Co., Ltd. changed its companys title name to Wacom Korea Co., Ltd. in April 2008. In this year presented, there are no unconsolidated subsidiaries or affiliates accounted for by the equity method.
28
(Additional information) Useful lives of machinery and equipment were changed to conform with the Corporate Tax Law as revised for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. The impact to the consolidated statement of income is not significant. (b) Intangible assets: The Company adopted the straight-line method for computing amortization. Software for in-house use is amortized based on the straight-line method over the expected useful economic life of 5 years. Software for sale is amortized based on an 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 collection of notes and accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts is computed based a calculated historical bad debt experience ratio for trade receivables, in addition to the estimated irrecoverable amount of doubtful receivables on an individual account basis. Foreign consolidated subsidiaries mainly compute the allowance for doubtful accounts based on the estimated irrecoverable amount of doubtful receivables on an individual account basis. (b) Provisions for bonuses: The provisions for bonuses to employees are provided based on estimated amounts expected to be paid to employees. (c) Provisions for directors and statutory corporate auditors bonuses: The provisions for directors and statutory corporate auditors bonuses are provided based on estimated amounts expected to be paid to directors and statutory 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 employees retirement benefits, the unrecognized actuarial differences. The unrecognized actuarial differences are amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years beginning in the year after they arise.An entire amount of the unrecognized actuarial differences are amortized as incurred at a part of the foreign consolidated subsidiaries. (Accounting changes) Partial Amendments to Accounting Standard for Retirement Benefits (Part 3) (Accounting Standards Board of Japan Statement No. 19, issued on July 31, 2008) has been adopted effective for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. The unrecognized actuarial differences will be amortized from the following fiscal
year. Therefore, operating profit, ordinary income and income before income taxes will not be affected for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. An unrecognized amount of differences for retirement benefits liabilities raised from the adoption of this accounting standard is 28,167 thousand ($303 thousand). (e) Provision for directors and statutory corporate auditors retirement benefits: The Company provides an accrued lump-sum severance indemnity for directors and statutory corporate auditors at the full amount which would be required to be paid if all directors and statutory corporate auditors retired at the balance sheet date based on the Companys internal regulations. (5) Foreign currency translation The Companys functional currency is Japanese yen. The translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency at the year-end is made at the current exchange rate. Exchange gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions and 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 consolidated balance sheets as a separate component of net assets. (6) 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 accompanying consolidated statements of income. (7) Valuation method for assets and liabilities of subsidiaries Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries are measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. (8) Amortization of goodwill Goodwill is amortized straight-line over the remaining useful life. (9) 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 insignificant risk of changes in value.
3. Changes in accounting principles and policies:

Changes in accounting principles and policies for the year ended March 31, 2009 were as follows. (1) Practical solution on unification of accounting policies applied to foreign subsidiaries for the consolidated financial statements Practical Solution on Unification of Accounting Policies Applied to Foreign Subsidiaries for the Consolidated Financial Statements (Accounting Standards Board
29
of Japan Practical Issues Task Force No. 18 issued on May 17, 2006) has been adopted effective for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. As a result, operating profit, ordinary income and income before income taxes are decreased by 17,576 thousand compared with what would have been reported under the previous accounting policy that consolidated subsidiaries overseas had applied generally accepted accounting principles in each country to their own financial statements and no adjustments had been made to their financial statements on consolidation. The impact on segment information is explained in Note 16. (2) Lease accounting Finance lease transactions that do not transfer ownership of the assets had been accounted for using the same method as for operating leases.

Therefore finance lease transactions that do not transfer ownership of the assets were treated as ordinary sales transactions. As for finance lease transactions that do not transfer ownership which commenced before April 1, 2008, the Company has applied the same method as for operating leases continuously.The adoption did not have any impact on the consolidated statement of income.

10. Financial instruments:

(1) Matters relating to financial instruments(a) Policy for financial instruments: The Group's financing is mainly covered by the internal fund, in terms of stable and low-cost financing. However, some short-term financial needs and working capital needs may be covered by short-term loan. Long-term financing is also flexible to demand selecting appropriate vehicle from long-term debt, 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 speculative trading is strictly prohibited. (b) Content of financial instruments and their risks and risk management scheme: Notes and accounts receivable trade account as operating receivables is exposed to credit risk of customers. Such risks are controlled by the scheme to keep track of due date and outstanding balance for every customer, and check customer's credit status on a regular basis according to the Companys credit limit management policy. Accounts receivable other account mainly consists of operating receivables for supplied materials to outsourcing production contractors and those receivables are exposed to credit risk of each contractor. Such risks are controlled by the scheme to keep track of due date and outstanding balance for each contractor. Net outstanding balance for such contractors is relatively small because receivables are net by payables balance for product purchase to those contractors. Notes and account payable trade account as operating payables is 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 derivative transactions, the finance department is responsible for executing such transactions upon an approval from authorized personnel in accordance with the Companys derivatives transaction policy that defines approval authority and 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.
(c) Supplementary information concerning the fair value of financial instruments: The amount of derivatives contracts in the Notes to "Derivatives Transaction" is the nominal value of derivatives contracts or the calculated notional amount only, and it does not show the size of market risk relating to the derivative transaction itself. (2) Fair value of financial instrumentsThe following table presents the carrying amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2010, estimated fair values of financial instruments and the differences.

12. Derivatives:
All derivative transactions are entered into to hedge foreign currency exposures within the Companys 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 policies, which regulate the authorization and credit limit amount of transactions. The amount of the derivative contracts does not necessarily indicate the significance of the risk. Certain information on outstanding derivative contracts is shown below.

13. Provision for retirement benefits:

The Company has an unfunded retirement allowance plan (the Plan) covering substantially all of its employees who meet eligibility requirements under the Plan. In addition, the Company is a member of the Saitama prefectural industrial park multi-employer pension plan, which covers substantially all of its employees and provides for benefits under the governmental welfare pension benefit plan, which would otherwise be provided by the Japanese government. This multi-employer pension plan does not permit us to reasonably calculate the value of the pension plan assets based on our contributions. As a result, this multiemployer pension plan is excluded from the calculation of projected benefit obligation. Overview of the multi-employer pension plan is as follow, under which the required contributions to the plan are charged to income.
