On the other hand, Sakai Display Products Corporation (its corporate name was changed from Sharp Display Products Corporation on July 17, 2012), which was a consolidated subsidiary in the previous consolidated fiscal year, is to be an affiliate and is excluded from the scope of consolidation due to a decline of Sharp s stake through transfer of its shares to SIO International Holdings Limited and the business integration (simplified absorption-type company split) of the LCD color filter businesses operated by Toppan Printing Co., Ltd., Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd., and DNP Color Techno Sakai Co., Ltd. at the Sakai Plant. In addition, Sharp Electronica España S.A., which was a consolidated subsidiary in the previous consolidated fiscal year, is excluded from the scope of consolidation because it was taken over by Sharp Electronics (Europe) Limited in this consolidated fiscal year. Although all of the Recurrent Energy, LLC-owned one-hundred-seventy-seven (177) subsidiaries related to solar power generation plants are included in the scope of consolidation, in counting consolidated subsidiaries of Sharp, they and Recurrent Energy, LLC are considered as one company in consideration that it is a solar project developer.

Reason why this company is not included in consolidation: From the viewpoint of total assets, sales, net income (loss) for the current term, retained earnings and other items, this company is minor and, as a whole, does not have a material effect on the items of the consolidated financial statements. 2.

For presenting consolidated financial statements, Sharp provisionally settles the accounts of these companies at the end of the consolidated fiscal year end for consolidation. 4. Matters Related to Accounting Procedure Standards (1) Valuation Standards and Methods for Important Assets 1) Valuation Standards and Methods for Securities Other Securities Securities with available fair market values: Primarily, stated at fair market value based on average of market price during the last month of the fiscal year (valuation differences are disposed using the direct net asset adjustment method and the cost of securities sold is calculated using the average cost method). Securities with no available fair market value: Primarily, stated at average cost. 2) Valuation Standards and Methods for Inventories Inventories held by Sharp and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries are primarily stated at moving average cost (for the book value of inventories on the balance sheets, by writing inventories down based on their decrease in profitability of assets). For overseas consolidated subsidiaries, inventories are stated at the lower of moving average cost or market. -6 -

7 (2) Depreciation Methods Used for Important Depreciable Assets 1) Method of Depreciation for Property, Plant and Equipment (Except for Lease Assets) For Sharp and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries, depreciation is based primarily on the declining-balance method, except for machinery and equipment at LCD plants in Mie, Kameyama and Sakai, and buildings (excluding attached structures) acquired on and after April 1, 1998, which are depreciated on the straight-line method. Overseas consolidated subsidiaries primarily use the straight-line method. 2) Method of Amortization for Intangible Fixed Assets (Except for Lease Assets) Amortization is based on the straight-line method. Software used by Sharp is amortized by the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of principally five (5) years, however, software embedded in products is amortized over the forecasted sales quantity. 3) Method of Depreciation for Lease Assets Finance leases that do not transfer ownership Depreciation is based on the straight-line method that takes the lease period as the depreciable life and the residual value as zero (0). Regarding finance leases of Sharp and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries that do not transfer ownership, for which the starting date for the lease transaction is prior to March 31, 2008, lease payments are recognized as expenses. (3) Accounting Standard for Important Allowances and Reserves 1) Allowance for Doubtful Receivables The estimated amounts of allowance for general receivables are primarily determined based on the past credit loss ratio. For particular receivables, including those from debtors at risk of bankruptcy, the allowance is provided for individually estimated unrecoverable amounts. This procedure is made against possible credit loss. 2) Accrued Employees Bonuses The reserve for payment of employees bonuses is set aside based on estimated amounts to be paid in the subsequent period. 3) Accrued Product Warranty Estimated amounts of warranty are accrued based on the past experience. This procedure is made against expense for after-sales service within the warranty period. 4) Provision for Loss on Litigation Out of possible future loss on litigation, the amount to be considered necessary is estimated. 5) Allowance for Severance and Pension Benefits To provide for employees severance and pension benefits, reserves are set aside based on the estimated amounts of projected benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets at the end of the current consolidated fiscal year. Prior service costs are amortized over the average of the estimated remaining service lives [sixteen (16) years]. Actuarial losses are recognized primarily in expenses over the average of estimated remaining service lives [sixteen (16) years] commencing with the following consolidated fiscal year. -7-

8 (4) Other Important Matters Presenting Consolidated Financial Statements 1) Method for Amortization for Deferred Assets Bond Issue Cost: Bond issue cost is amortized under the straight-line method over the redemption period. 2) Method and Period for Amortization of Goodwill Goodwill for which the effective term is possible to be estimated is amortized evenly over the estimated terms, while the other is amortized evenly over five (5) years. However, if the amount is minor, the entire amount is amortized during the period of occurrence. 3) Accounting for Consumption Taxes, etc. The tax exclusion method is applied. 4) Adoption of Consolidated Tax Return System The consolidated tax return system is adopted. (Notes concerning Changes in Accounting Policies) Changes in accounting policies that are difficult to distinguish from changes in accounting estimates In accordance with the amendment of the Corporation Tax Law, effective from the year ended March 31, 2013, Sharp and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries have changed the depreciation method for those tangible fixed assets acquired on or after April 1, This change had an immaterial impact on financial statements.

19 [Attachment 8] Individual Explanatory Notes (Notes concerning Matters relating to Material Accounting Policies) 1. Valuation Standards and Methods for Assets (1) Valuation Standards and Methods for Securities Shares of Subsidiaries and Affiliates: Stated at average cost. Other securities Securities with available fair market values: Stated at fair market value based on average of market price during the last month of the fiscal year (valuation differences are disposed using the direct net asset adjustment method and the cost of securities sold is calculated using the average cost method). Securities with no available fair market value: Stated at average cost. (2) Valuation Standards and Methods for Inventories Finished products, raw materials and work in process: Stated at moving average cost (for the book value of inventories on the balance sheets, by writing inventories down based on their decrease in profitability of assets). Supplies: Stated at the current production and purchase costs. 2. Depreciation Methods Used for Non-current Assets Tangible Fixed Assets: (1) Method of Depreciation for Property, Plant and Equipment (Except for Lease Assets) Depreciation of plant and equipment is based on the declining balance method, except for machinery and equipment in the Mie and Kameyama Plants, which are depreciated on the straight-line method. However, buildings (excluding annexed structures) obtained on or after April 1, 1998 are depreciated on the straight-line method. (2) Method of Amortization for Intangible Fixed Assets (Except for Lease Assets) Amortization is based on the straight-line method. Software used by Sharp is amortized by the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of principally five (5) years, however, software embedded in products is amortized over the forecasted sales quantity. (3) Method of Depreciation for Lease Assets Finance leases that do not transfer ownership Depreciation is based on the straight-line method that takes the lease period as the depreciable life and the residual value as zero (0). Regarding finance leases of Sharp that do not transfer ownership, for which the starting date for the lease transaction is prior to March 31, 2008, lease payments are recognized as expenses

20 3. Accounting Standard for Allowances and Reserves (1) Allowance for Doubtful Receivables The estimated amounts of allowance for general receivables are determined based on the past credit loss ratio. For particular receivables, including those from debtors at risk of bankruptcy, the allowance is provided for individually estimated unrecoverable amounts. This procedure is made against possible credit loss. (2) Accrued Employees Bonuses The reserve for payment of employees bonuses is set aside based on estimated amounts to be paid in the subsequent period. (3) Accrued Product Warranty Estimated amounts of warranty are accrued based on the past experience. This procedure is made against expense for after-sales service within the warranty period. (4) Provision for Loss on Litigation Out of possible future loss on litigation, the amount to be considered necessary is estimated. (5) Allowance for Severance and Pension Benefits To provide for employees severance and pension benefits, reserves are set aside based on the estimated amounts of projected benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets at the end of this fiscal year. Prior service costs are amortized over the average of the estimated remaining service lives [sixteen (16) years]. Actuarial losses are recognized primarily in expenses over the average of estimated remaining service lives [sixteen (16) years] commencing with the following period. 4. Other Important Matters Presented in Financial Statements (1) Method for Amortization for Deferred Assets Bond Issue Cost: Bond issue cost is amortized under the straight-line method over the redemption period (2) Accounting for Consumption Taxes, etc. The tax exclusion method is applied. (3) Adoption of Consolidated Tax Return System The consolidated tax return system is adopted. (Notes concerning Changes in Accounting Policies) Changes in accounting policies that are difficult to distinguish from changes in accounting estimates In accordance with the amendment of the Corporation Tax Law, effective from this fiscal year, Sharp has changed the depreciation method for those tangible fixed assets acquired on or after April 1, This change had an immaterial impact on financial statements.
