7 ONOKEN CO., LTD. and a Consolidated Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years Ended March 31, 2007 and BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Securities and Exchange Law of Japan and its related accounting regulations, and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, which are different in certain respects as to the application and disclosure requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards. In preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, certain reclassifications 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. The consolidated financial statements are stated in Japanese yen, the currency of the country in which ONOKEN CO., LTD. (the "Company") is incorporated and operates. The translation of Japanese yen amounts into U.S. dollar amounts is included solely for the convenience of readers outside Japan and has been made at the rate of to $1, the rate of exchange in effect at March 31, Such translation should not be construed as a representation that the Japanese yen amounts could be converted into U.S. dollars at that or any other rate

8 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES a. Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and one significant subsidiary controlled directly by the Company (together, the Group ). Investment in an unconsolidated subsidiary, not significant in amount, is stated at cost. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All material unrealized profit included in assets resulting from transactions within the Group has also been eliminated. b. Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents are short-term investments that are readily convertible into cash and that are exposed to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash equivalents include time deposits which become due within three months of the date of acquisition. c. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The allowance for doubtful accounts is provided at an amount determined based on the historical experience of bad debts with respect to ordinary receivables, plus an estimate of uncollectible amounts determined by reference to specific doubtful receivables from customers which are experiencing financial difficulties. d. Merchandise Merchandise is stated at cost determined by the moving-average method. e. Investment Securities Marketable securities classified as other securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses, net of applicable income taxes, included in a separate component of net assets. Non-marketable securities classified as other securities are stated at cost determined by the moving-average method. For other than temporary declines in fair value, securities are reduced to their respective net realizable value by a charge to income

9 f. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of the property, plant and equipment of the Group is generally computed by the declining-balance method. However, the straight-line method is applied to buildings of the Group acquired on or after April 1, The range of estimated useful lives is principally from 10 to 47 years for buildings and structures, and from 4 to 12 years for machinery and equipment. g. Impairment Loss on Long-lived Assets Effective the year ended March 31, 2006, the Group adopted an accounting standard for the impairment of long-lived assets and the related implementation guidance. The Group reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the continued use and eventual disposal of the asset or asset group. The impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of the discounted cash flows from the continued use and eventual disposal of the asset or asset group or the net selling price at disposal. The adoption of this new standard had no effect on the Group s operating results for the year ended March 31, h. Software Certain costs for computer software for internal use are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of five years. i. Stock Issuance Costs Stock issuance costs are charged to income as incurred. j. Accrued Employees Bonuses Accrued employees bonuses are provided at an amount estimated to be paid for services rendered by the employees for the calculation period

10 k. Accrued Directors and Corporate Auditors Bonuses Accrued directors and corporate auditors bonuses are provided at an estimated amount of bonuses to be paid to directors and corporate auditors for the current year s services subsequent to the balance sheet date. Effective the year ended March 31, 2007, the Group has adopted a new accounting standard for directors and corporate auditors bonuses. This standard requires that directors and corporate auditors bonuses be accounted for as an expense on an accrual basis instead of charging them directly to retained earnings in the year in which such payments are approved at a general shareholders meeting. The effect of the adoption of this standard was to decrease operating income, and income before income taxes by 37 million ($313 thousand) for the year ended March 31, 2007 from the corresponding amounts which would have been recorded under the previous method. The effect of this change on segment information was immaterial. l. Retirement Benefit Plans The Company has a non-contributory funded defined benefit retirement plan, and its consolidated subsidiary has an unfunded retirement benefit plan. The Group accounts for the liability for retirement benefits based on the projected benefit obligation and plan assets at the balance sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses are fully charged or credited to income in the year following the year in which the gains or losses are recognized. Retirement benefits to directors and corporate auditors of the Company are provided at the amount which would be required if all directors and corporate auditors retired at the balance sheet date based on the Company s internal rules. m. Revenue recognition Revenue on installment sales is recognized when the related receivables become due. The unrealized profit on installment sales corresponding to the portion of such receivables is deferred and is recorded as a component of Other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets

11 n. Leases All leases are accounted for as operating leases. Under the Japanese accounting standard for leases, finance leases that are deemed to transfer ownership of the leased property to the lessee are capitalized, while other finance leases are permitted to be accounted for as operating lease transactions if certain as if capitalized information is disclosed in the notes to the lessee's financial statements. o. Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred taxes are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws which will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. p. 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 prevailing at the balance sheet date, except for assets and liabilities hedged by forward foreign exchange contracts. All revenues and expenses associated with foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing when such transactions were made. The resulting foreign exchange gains and losses are credited or charged to income. q. Derivatives and Hedging Activities The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its exposures to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Specifically, forward foreign exchange contracts are utilized by the Company to reduce foreign currency exchange risks. The Company 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 credited or charged to 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 the derivatives are deferred until maturity of the hedged transactions

12 r. Per Share Information Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities were exercised or converted into common stock. Cash dividends per share presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of income are based on dividends applicable to the respective years including dividends to be paid after the end of the year. s. Accounting standard for the presentation of net assets in the balance sheet Effective the year ended March 31, 2007, the Company has adopted a new accounting standard for the presentation of net assets in the balance sheet and the related implementation guidance. In addition, effective the year ended March 31, 2007, the Company is required to prepare consolidated statements of changes in net assets instead of consolidated statements of capital surplus and retained earnings. In this connection, the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2006 and consolidated statement of capital surplus and retained earnings for the year then ended have been restated to conform to the presentation and disclosure of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, RECONCILIATION OF CASH AND TIME DEPOSITS TO CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS A reconciliation of cash and time deposits in the consolidated balance sheets to cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statements of cash flows as of March 31, 2007 and 2006 was as follows: Thousands of Millions of Yen U.S. Dollars Cash and time deposits 2, $18,331 Time deposits with original maturities of more than three months (112) (109) (948) Cash and cash equivalents 2, $17,

14 5. IMPAIRMENT LOSS The Group recognized an impairment loss of 1,272 million ($10,775 thousand) for the year ended March 31, 2007 on land of a branch office to be closed, which has no prospect of future use, by reducing its carrying amount to its net selling price, estimated by referring to the appraised value determined by an independent appraiser. 6.

19 12. DERIVATIVES The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge foreign exchange risk associated with certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. All derivative transactions are entered into to hedge foreign currency exposures related to the Company s 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 financial institutions, the Company does not anticipate any losses arising from credit risk. Derivative transactions entered into by the Company have been made by its accounting department under the supervision of responsible management in accordance with internal policies. The disclosure of fair value of derivatives at March 31, 2007 and 2006 has been omitted since all derivatives have been accounted for as hedges
