7 ONOKEN CO., LTD. and a Consolidated Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Six-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and BASIS FOR PRESENTATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended September 30, 2007 have been prepared in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law of Japan (as for the consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended September 30, 2006, the Securities and Exchange Law of Japan) and its related accounting regulations, and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, which differ in certain respects in terms of application and disclosure requirements from international financial reporting standards. In preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, certain reclassifications and rearrangements of the consolidated financial statements issued domestically have been made in order to present them in a form that 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 September 28, Such translation should not be construed as a representation that the Japanese yen amounts could be converted into U.S. dollars at this or any other rate. As permitted under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law of Japan, amounts of less than one million yen have been omitted. As a result, the totals shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements (both in yen and in U.S. dollars) do not necessarily agree with the sums of the individual amounts

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 the 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 who are experiencing financial difficulties. d. Merchandise Merchandise is stated at cost as 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 as determined by the moving-average method. Except as concerns 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 Group s property, plant and equipment is generally computed by the declining-balance method. The straight-line method is applied, however, to buildings acquired by the Group 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. Effective the six-month period ended September 30, 2007, the Group has adopted new depreciation methods for long-lived assets acquired on or after April 1, 2007, in accordance with revisions of the Corporation Tax Law. The effect of the adoption of this new standard was to reduce both operating income and income before income taxes by 7 million ($61 thousand). The revisions of the Corporation Tax Law also affected long-lived assets acquired on or before March 31, 2007, which are depreciated using methods provided for under the pre-revision law. When the depreciated value of such assets reaches 5% of their acquisition price, the new standard requires the Group to amortize the difference between this depreciated value and the memorandum value of the assets in equal installments over a five-year period. It further requires that the Group begin to amortize this difference in the fiscal year following that in which the 5% value is reached and to recognize the expense as a part of the depreciation. The effect of the adoption of this new standard was to reduce both operating income and income before income taxes by 4 million ($35 thousand). g. Impairment Loss on Long-lived Assets 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. Impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of an 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

10 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. Accrued Employees Bonuses Accrued employees bonuses are provided at an amount estimated to be paid for services rendered by the employees for the period under review. j. Accrued Directors and Corporate Auditors Bonuses Accrued directors and corporate auditors bonuses are provided at an amount estimated to be paid in bonuses to directors and corporate auditors for the current year s services subsequent to the balance sheet date. k. 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 that would be required if all directors and corporate auditors retired at the balance sheet date based on the Company s internal rules. l. 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. m. 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 may be accounted for as operating lease transactions if certain as if capitalized information is disclosed in the notes to the lessee's financial statements

11 n. 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 are to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. o. 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 currency transactions are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing when such transactions were conducted. The resulting foreign exchange gains and losses are credited or charged to income. p. Derivatives and Hedging Activities The Company employs derivative financial instruments to manage its exposures to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Specifically, forward foreign exchange contracts are employed 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) gains or losses on derivatives used for hedging purposes that qualify for hedge accounting because of a high correlation and degree of effectiveness between the hedging instruments and the hedged items are deferred until the hedged transactions reach maturity. q. 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 might occur if securities were exercised or converted into common stock

12 Cash dividends per share presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of income are based on dividends applicable to the respective periods, including dividends to be paid after the end of the periods. 3. RECONCILIATION OF CASH AND TIME DEPOSITS TO CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and time deposits in the consolidated balance sheets were reconciled to cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statements of cash flows as of September 30, 2007 and 2006 as follows: Thousands of Millions of Yen U.S. Dollars Cash and time deposits 1,880 2,266 $ 16,287 Time deposits with original maturities of more than three months (112) (112) (970) Cash and cash equivalents 1,768 2,154 $ 15,

SHORT-TERM BANK LOANS Short-term bank loans at September 30, 2007 and 2006 represented outstanding balances, with weighed average interest rates of 0.58% and 0.88% per annum, respectively, under overdraft agreements with banks of up to 21,000 million ($181,928 thousand) and 21,700 million in the aggregate, respectively. As described in Note 7, certain assets are collateralized for short-term bank loans. As is customary in Japan, moreover, the Company maintains substantial deposit balances in banks from which it has borrowings. Such deposit balances are not legally or contractually restricted with respect to withdrawal. 7. PLEDGED ASSETS The carrying amounts of assets pledged as collateral and the corresponding liabilities secured at September 30, 2007 and 2006 were as follows: Thousands of Millions of Yen U.S. Dollars Assets pledged as collateral: Time deposits $ 970 Buildings and structures at book value Land ,583 Investment securities Total $ 5,796 Liabilities secured: Trade notes and accounts payable $ 468 Short-term bank loans ,379 Other long-term liabilities Total $ 4,

15 8. STOCK OPTION PLANS The Company has two stock option plans for the granting of non-transferable options to certain eligible directors of the Company and key employees of the Group. On August 5, 2002, options were granted to certain eligible directors of the Company and key employees of the Company for a term of eight years to purchase an aggregate of 462,000 shares of the Company s common stock at 613 ($5.31) per share. The exercise price could be subject to adjustment for certain events. The options became exercisable on June 28, Additionally, on July 26, 2004, options were granted to certain eligible directors of the Company and key employees of the Group for a term of six years to purchase an aggregate of 586,000 shares of the Company s common stock at 1,585 ($13.73) per share. The exercise price could be subject to adjustment for certain events. The options became exercisable on June 26, RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS The Company has a non-contributory funded defined benefit retirement plan, and its consolidated subsidiary has an unfunded retirement benefit plan. Payments of retirement benefits to the Company s employees are made by the trustees in the form of lump-sum severance payments or annuity payments at the discretion of the retiring employees. Payments of retirement benefits to the subsidiary s employees are made by the subsidiary in the form of lump-sum severance payments

16 10. LEASES The following pro forma amounts represent the acquisition cost (including the interest portion thereof), accumulated depreciation and net book value of the leased property as of September 30, 2007 and 2006 which would have been reflected in the consolidated balance sheets if finance lease accounting had been applied to the finance leases currently accounted for as operating leases: Machinery and equipment: Thousands of Millions of Yen U.S. Dollars Acquisition cost $ 1,481 Accumulated depreciation (82) (70) (710) Net book value $ 762 Lease payments related to finance leases accounted for as operating leases amounted to 18 million ($156 thousand) and 14 million, which were equal to the depreciation expense of the leased assets computed by the straight-line method over the respective lease terms, for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Future minimum lease payments (including the interest portion thereof) subsequent to September 30, 2007 for finance leases accounted for as operating leases are summarized as follows: Six-month period ending September 30, 2007 Millions of Yen Thousands of U.S. Dollars Due within one year 33 $ 286 Due after one year Total 88 $

17 11. 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 in order to hedge foreign currency exposures related to the Company s business. Accordingly, the market risk associated with these derivatives is essentially 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 conducted by its accounting department under the supervision of responsible management personnel in accordance with the applicable internal policies. Disclosure of the fair value of derivatives at September 30, 2007 and 2006 has been omitted, since all derivatives have been accounted for as hedges. 12. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES At September 30, 2007, the Company (plaintiff/respondent) is in a pending lawsuit arising from an appeal made to the Fukuoka High Court. The Company originally filed an action in the Oita District Court against one of its customers for recovery of unreceived payment amounting to 12 million ($104 thousand) on December 4, 2001 and amended the complaint on January 17, On March 12, 2002, a counterclaim was filed by the defendant seeking monetary damages of 591 million ($5,120 thousand) for loss of a construction contract due to an alleged deficiency in a product sold by the Company. On April 25, 2005, the Oita District Court held that the Company s complaint was sufficient and dismissed the defendant s counterclaim. The defendant filed an appeal to the Fukuoka High Court
