Message from the Management
“Looking to the next 100
years, EBARA will continue to
make extensive contributions
to society as a manufacturer of
industrial equipment by provid-
ing superior technologies and
the best possible service.”Natsunosuke Yago
President and Representative Director
During the fiscal year under review, ended March 31, 2012, the business environment showed improvement in some areas.
Overseas, in the United States, despite continued high levels of unemployment and declines in housing prices, the economy
remained on a moderate recovery trend. In Europe, however, the persistence of fiscal and monetary uncertainty resulted in a decel-
eration of growth in the region. In Asia, growth in the economies of China and India, which had been firm because of the support
provided by domestic demand, showed signs of slowing. In Japan, public-sector investment, which had been delayed by the
effects of the Great East Japan Earthquake, began to recover during the year because of the positive impact of the government’s
supplementary budgets. In addition, private-sector capital investment, which dropped temporarily following the earthquake
disaster, began to bottom out, and the Japanese economy as a whole experienced moderate improvement.
Amid these developments in the economic environment, the EBARA Group embarked on the first year of its new three-year
medium-term management plan E-Plan2013 (covering the period from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, to the fiscal year
ending March 31, 2014). Under this plan, EBARA has begun its drive to establish a more-solid, stabler business structure.
As a result of these activities, consolidated net sales rose because of increased sales in the Fluid Machinery & Systems (FMS)
Company and the Precision Machinery (PM) Company. However, operating income declined in all business segments. Net sales
for the fiscal year amounted to ¥412.0 billion, operating income was ¥23.2 billion, and ordinary income totaled ¥21.0 billion.
Consolidated net income amounted to ¥2.8 billion.
In November 2012, we will mark the 100th anniversary of the commencement of EBARA’s business activities as a manufacturer
of pumps. We would like to take this opportunity to express our deepest thanks to our shareholders and other stakeholders whose
warm and continuing support has made our success possible over the years.
The EBARA Group’s products—including pumps, which it has manufactured since its establishment, as well as compressors,
chillers, waste treatment facilities, and semiconductor manufacturing equipment—contribute to making people’s lives more afflu-
ent, safer, and more secure. Looking to the next 100 years, EBARA will continue to make “extensive contributions to society as
a manufacturer of industrial equipment by providing superior technologies and the best possible service.”
We will appreciate your continuing support and understanding.
EBARA CORPORATION ANNUAL REPORT 2012 5
An Interview with the Management
Q1 What are your views on the business environment this year?
World economic conditions in the industrialized and emerging economies present a
“mixed pattern” of favorable and unfavorable performance. What the EBARA Group
must do in this business environment is to focus its resources in regions where eco-
nomic growth is continuing and will enable us to secure solid expansion in our busi-
ness activities. We must also respond appropriately to the major changes in energy
demand that have emerged with the Great East Japan Earthquake as a watershed.
Nuclear power generation is under review around the world, and demand for LNG
for thermal electric power generation is rising rapidly. In the United States, extraction
technology for shale gas, which formerly could not be mined and produced profit-
ably, has advanced, and activities to develop shale gas as a new source of natural
gas have picked up substantially. The EBARA Group boasts leading market shares in
global markets in compressors and pumps used in LNG production. In addition, to
ensure stability in Japan’s energy supply, we must provide the necessary energy-
related products.
Q2 What are the key points you are emphasizing under the E-Plan2013 Medium-Term Management Plan?
Among our basic policies under E-Plan2013, I believe, in particular, we must move
forward to “implement a productivity innovation movement” and “strengthen our ser-
vice and support business.”
To improve productivity, we will take the production technology that we have
developed to a high level in Japan and apply it, one by one, at our overseas produc-
tion bases. We want to set off a major wave of activities that will raise the level of
production technologies for the Group as a whole.
In our service and support business, in the area of after-sales services, which we
have not been able to cover fully, we have given very thorough consideration to what
6 EBARA CORPORATION ANNUAL REPORT 2012
we can do to take this business back. We now want to implement measures that
will enable us to make this a source of earnings for the EBARA Group. The basics
for success are to keep in touch with our customers’ needs and to offer services
that can meet every aspect of such needs. If we can do this, then I believe we can
expand our service and support business quickly. Our accomplishments last fiscal
year included the establishment of service and support bases for compressors in
China and Saudi Arabia as well as a base for pumps in South Korea. Going forward,
we will be adding service and support bases in other parts of the world.
Q3 Lastly, please tell us your shareholder return policy.
We consider it to be very important to maintain a stable, long-term return on invest-
ment for our shareholders. To achieve a fair return for them, we will strive to make
steady growth based on the E-Plan2013.

Rising Worldwide Demand for Oil and Gas
As economic growth continues, especially in the emerging
countries, the global demand for energy is expanding steadily.
Also, recent fast-moving progress in the development of the
North American shale gas industry and other factors are
contributing to the expansion of the oil and gas market.
According to the “World Oil Outlook 2011,” published by
the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries
(OPEC), from 2010 to 2035, an accumulated total of US$1.2
trillion is likely to be invested in oil refining plants. It is
assumed that investments in refining capacity will become
especially large in the Asia-Pacific region.
Compressors and Turbines Employed
in the Oil and Gas Market
The petroleum industry refines crude oil, which is extracted
from beneath the earth’s surface, and manufactures many
products, such as gasoline and ethylene, that are essential
for our daily lives. Similarly, natural gas is also obtained from
underground, and, after processes to separate and eliminate
impurities, it is also turned into products for many uses. When
gas is exported from its source, it is cooled to extremely low
temperatures and becomes liquefied natural gas (LNG) that is
then transported in oceangoing LNG carriers. The compres-
sors that are used in the gas refining and liquefaction pro-
cesses as well as the turbines that provide their motive power
are indispensable for running the plants involved in these pro-
duction processes. Therefore, if the capital investments in oil
refining plants rise at the rates that are forecast, the demand
for EBARA’s compressors, turbines, and pumps is expected
to increase steadily.
Typical Orders Received by the Elliott Group
EBARA’s compressors and turbines business is conducted
by the Elliott Group, which has an outstanding record of
successful deliveries of its products to many oil refining
and ethylene plants throughout the world.

EBARA CORPORATION ANNUAL REPORT 2012 11
Let us introduce two examples of typical orders received by
the Elliott Group. The first was for processing equipment for a
large-scale gas processing plant in the Middle East. This was
a major project requiring Elliott to supply 16 compressors and
8 turbines. Since the equipment had to be manufactured to
the most-exacting specifications, the production and delivery
schedule was very tight. As a result of close teamwork
throughout the EBARA Group, Elliott was highly honored for
its work at the completion of the project through the receipt
of a special certificate of thanks from the customer.
The second project we would like to introduce is the deliv-
ery of an ethylene plant to the Middle East. Since the plant
had to be constructed to work in tandem with a world-class
oil refinery, the capacity of the plant had to be more than one
million tons of ethylene annually. Downstream from the main
ethylene plant, the project also involved the construction of
units for the production of propylene, benzene, and other
petroleum derivatives. As a result, this massive project
became the largest petrochemical complex in the world. In
implementing this project, the Elliott Group worked closely

Elliott Group Continuing Its Global Development
To serve the oil and gas market that are spread out across
the globe, the Elliott Group has two facilities, one in Japan
and the other in the United States, as well as a global service
and support network. The manufacturing facilities in Japan
and the United States mutually complement each other’s
activities by concentrating the production of certain items and
dividing up the production load when appropriate as well as
by conducting global procurement and joint purchasing activi-
ties. In addition, service and support bases have been newly
established in China and Latin America to strengthen capabili-
ties for grasping customer needs. The Elliott Group aims to
further expand its operations as a member of the top group
of the world’s compressor manufacturers.

Fluid Machinery & Sys Overview
In the Fluid Machinery & System (FMS)
Company, in the pumps business,
demand expanded in overseas markets
and led to an increase in the number of
projects in the oil and gas as well as
water infrastructure equipment industries,
mainly in the Middle East. However,
tough price competition continued due to
the appreciation of the yen. In Japan,
budgets in the public sector for pumps
and other related equipment are on a
declining trend, but the market for equip-
ment for buildings in the private sector
improved as the number of building starts
continued above the level of the previous
year.
Amid these conditions, the FMS
Company identified customer needs
through its marketing activities by region
and strengthened its systems, including
its network of service and support bases.
In the compressors and turbines busi-
ness, as crude oil prices remained at a
high level, the number of projects in the
oil and gas market increased, but tough
competition with European and U.S.
companies for large projects continued.
Amid these conditions, measures were
taken to upgrade and expand the FMS
Company’s global sales and service net-
works. In the chillers business, although
demand for high-efficiency electric-pow-
ered chillers increased in the domestic
market, growth in the market as a whole
was weak, while, on the other hand,
sales performance continued to be favor-
able in the expanding Chinese market.
Sales in the FMS Company for the fis-
cal year amounted to ¥286,090 million
(an increase of 6.4% year on year). The
segment income amounted to ¥15,579
million (a decrease of 27.9% year on
year).

tems CompanyMarket Trends
and Basic Strategies
In overseas markets, the increasing
worldwide demand for energy, combined
with the resulting rising prices of crude oil
and gas, is expected to bring expansion
in the oil and gas market as well as the
electric power market. In the building
equipment market, although there are
signs of a slowdown in China and certain
other regions, on the other hand, condi-
tions are expected to recover in the Mid-
dle East and elsewhere. In the Japa nese
market, while the competitive environment
in the market for public works projects is
likely to remain severe, in the private sec-
tor, the outlook is for investments for
maintenance and repair and promoting
energy conservation to remain firm.
In the compressors and turbines
business, the oil and gas market, which
are the principal markets, are forecast to
expand in the medium-to-long term.
In the chillers business, demand is
expected to show continued expansion,
mainly in the Chinese market.
Amid these operating conditions, in
overseas markets, the FMS Company
will work to further develop its business
operations based on clear regional and
product strategies and take further steps
to upgrade its after-sales service and
support network. In Japan, the FMS
Company will take aggressive initiatives
to expand its after-sales service and sup-
port activities, reduce its procurement
costs, and increase the competitiveness
of its principal products through further
improvements in design.
Issues to Be Addressed
In the pumps business, the FMS
Company is implementing systematic
and strategic marketing under the leader-
ship of the Head Office and further devel-
oping its business activities based on
clear regional and product strategies.
With China, Southeast Asia, the Middle
East, and North America as priority areas,
the FMS Company is reviewing the func-
tions, products, and output capacity of
the Group’s production bases, with the
aim of creating manufacturing systems
that can deliver to the world’s markets
Topic
Orders for Process Pumps for Evaporation Method Seawater Desalination Plants
Demand for seawater desalination equipment is expanding on a global scale. Along with
this development, the FMS Company has received orders from Saudi Arabia for a total of
119 process pumps to be used in one of the world’s largest seawater desalination plants
using the evaporation method. One of the major contributing factors in winning these
orders was the improved competitiveness of EBARA’s vertical-type, all-super duplex stain-
less steel fabricated pumps that are used to circulate concentrated seawater. These pumps
rely on cutting-edge design technology and attain the highest levels of efficiency in the
world. Also, by combining IT and cutting-edge technology, the FMS Company has been
able to make these pumps lighter in weight than previous models. Going forward, the out-
look for orders for these pumps for use in seawater desalination plants is quite promising.
those products that satisfy customer
needs. The FMS Company is also review-
ing marketing methods in each region
and working to strengthen marketing sys-
tems for each of its business locations. In
the after-sales service and support busi-
ness, the FMS Company is implementing
measures to expand the scope of the
activities of its business locations from
emphasis on sales of parts and compo-
nents to providing more in-depth service
and support. Initiatives are also being

Great East Japan Earthquake. Although
some new engineering, procurement,
and construction (EPC) investments by
the public sector were delayed by the
earthquake, signs of gradual recovery
appeared. In the midst of these condi-
tions, the EE Company is further
strengthening its capabilities to respond
accurately to changes in the market envi-
ronment and customer needs by integrat-
ing its capabilities for providing new plant
construction (EPC) based on its techno-
logical capabilities, and the capabilities of
its domestic network for providing O&M
services on a nationwide basis.
Sales in the EE Company for the fiscal
year amounted to ¥50,129 million (a
decrease of 3.0% year on year), but the
segment secured income of ¥322 million
(a decrease of 65.8% year on year)
despite additional losses on construction
that were incurred in an overseas waste
incineration plant project (the InfraServ
project in Germany).
Market Trends
and Basic Strategies
In the Japanese waste incineration facili-
ties market, EPC projects that had been
delayed are being restarted, and projects,
especially those including construction as
well as O&M, are increasing. Also, among
O&M projects, work on projects for
expanding the scope of corporate opera-
tions, renewal of existing facilities, and
upgrading of core equipment is expected
to increase.
In view of this market outlook, to
ensure profit stability, the EE Company
is working to develop business with new
customers and making sure it receives
orders for O&M projects related to facili-
ties it has delivered. Activities are also in
progress for expanding orders for busi-
ness projects by strengthening technical
capabilities as well as capabilities of the
EE Company for providing comprehen-
sive proposals that include reducing
costs over the life cycle of the facilities.
Issues to Be Addressed
In the field of managing the existing stock
of facilities effectively, demand is expand-
ing for construction work to lengthen the
lifetimes of facilities as well as construc-
tion related to reforms in core plant func-
tions to reduce CO2 emissions. Also,
in response to the difficulties that local
governments and other entities are ex -
periencing in securing personnel with
technical training and backgrounds
as well as the rising expectations for
increasing the efficiency of operations
through working jointly with the private
sector, a trend is expected to emerge
toward shifting “from government
bureaucracy to private-sector manage-
ment.” Also, the shortage of electric
power that has followed the 2011 Great

Order Received for Long-Term Comprehensive Management of Waste Treatment
Plant of Urayasu City
The EE Company has received an order from Urayasu City of Chiba Prefecture for the com-
prehensive management of that city’s waste treatment plant. This project will involve the
integrated management over a period of 10 years of a municipal waste incinerator (with a
capacity of 270 tons/day), bulky waste treatment equipment (70 tons/five-hour period), a
material recycling system (42.5 tons/five-hour period), night soil treatment facilities (35 kilo-
liters/day), and other facilities in the premises. The EE Company will draw on its many
years of operating experience and facilities management know-how to operate these facili-
ties safely and securely, and, through the use of improved operation management, such as
optimization of electric power consumption, is
working to reduce CO2 emissions. The EE
Company has received contracts for nine such
projects and will strive to contribute to efficient
waste management with its experience and
expertise in these fields.
East Japan Earthquake has increased
expectations regarding power generation
using waste materials as an energy
source.
In this market environment, issues
within the O&M business include stabiliz-
ing income by promoting facilities-related
services that include both management
and repair services as well as mainte-
nance and supervision on comprehensive
long-term contract bases. Also, the EE
Company is aiming to create new
demand in the O&M business through
making proposals for renewal work
based on plans for the efficient use of
existing facilities by lengthening their
useful lifetimes. The EE Company is
also working to generate new demand in
its O&M business by making proposals
for improvements in core plant functions
to substantially reduce CO2 emissions
through the application of the latest EPC
technology.
In the EPC business, the EE Company
will share its plans for lengthening the
useful lifetimes of facilities of its O&M
business throughout the EBARA Group.
Also, in those cases where the replace-
ment of facilities is expected, the EE
Company will provide proposals on the
latest EPC technology when customers
request them, with the aim of capturing
demand for the replacement of facilities.
In addition, the EE Company is working
to strengthen the integrated operation of
the EPC and O&M businesses. This will
involve providing the EPC business with
information held by the O&M business
related to facilities maintenance and
management, which is based on its
extensive record of successful deliveries
and its nationwide after-sales service net-
work. The EE Company will, therefore,
make possible the establishment of new
technologies for improving heat recovery
and heat usage and, thereby, reduce
greenhouse gas emissions (CO2) at the
same time as well as enable major reduc-
tions in life-cycle costs of facilities, from
the construction stage to operation and
business management. Strengthening
these technologies will enable the EE
Company to differentiate itself from
competitors and win orders.

Precision Machinery Overview
In the Precision Machinery (PM)
Company, in the semiconductor market
demand for flash memories for use in
high-performance cell phones and tablet-
type mobile terminals increased over the
course of the fiscal year, but investment
plans of semiconductor manufacturers
were postponed, thus leading to stag-
nation in demand for semiconductor
manufacturing equipment. In the PM
Company’s customer markets other than
semiconductor manufacturers, capital
investment in flat panel displays, photo-
voltaic batteries, and LEDs remained
stagnant. Amid these conditions, the PM
Company continued its production inno-
vation campaign in its manufacturing divi-
sions, implementing measures to reduce
lead times, increase productivity, and
lower manufacturing costs. Through its
service and support business global
network, the PM Company worked to
increase customer satisfaction by main-
taining the stable operation of client
equipment, offering proposals for making
improvements in equipment to upgrade
productivity, and providing other services.
Sales in the PM Company for the fiscal
year amounted to ¥68,373 million (an
increase of 0.7% year on year). The seg-
ment income amounted to ¥6,594 million
(a decrease of 17.7% year on year).
Market Trends
and Basic Strategies
In the PM Company’s core user market
of semiconductor manufacturers,
aggressive investments are expected
to continue as trends in the “foundry” and
flash memory segments of the industry
are bolstered by rising demand for high-
function mobile units, including tablet-
type devices. Other favorable trends will
be the further miniaturization of semicon-
ductor devices, the introduction of larger
diameter silicon wafers to increase pro-
ductivity, and progress toward introduc-
ing three-dimensional ICs.
Among non-semiconductor users, the
revival of demand among LED users will
require additional time, but recovery is
expected among companies in the flat
panel display and solar battery industries.
Although the PM Company’s markets
are subject to major fluctuations, latent
demand is forecast to be substantial
going forward. To secure and expand its
position, the PM Company is working to
strengthen its service and support func-
tions, build even closer ties with custom-
ers, and contribute to stabilizing EBARA
Group profitability.
Issues to Be Addressed
It will be essential for the semiconductor
industry to continue steady innovation in
the production and development of new
technology without being influenced by
major fluctuations in the market. The PM
Company will work to maintain its market
share and profitability while continuing
the production innovation and technology
development that its users desire as it
also helps to support the stable operation
of its customers. In the non-semiconduc-
tor industries it serves, the PM Company
will closely monitor trends to detect when

respond to a wide range of user needs, has built a position
as one of the leading companies in the power-saving dry
pump business. Looking ahead, to continue to supply
products that meet the requirements of its customers, the
PM Company and all its staff members will come together
to further increase quality and improve customer service,
and play a key role in building a more-affluent society.
customers will move into their investment
cycle and then work to capture additional
market share.
In the components business, the PM
Company will maintain its base among
the major suppliers to companies in its
core industry of semiconductors. It will
also work to expand sales to companies
in new markets, including solar battery
and LED manufacturers, as it also enters
into the wider market for vacuum pumps.
Additionally, the PM Company is planning
to take further steps to structure a global
production network as it continues to
aggressively increase its overseas pro-
duction and procurement.
In the chemical mechanical polishing
(CMP) systems business, the PM
Company will continue to work with its
customers to introduce and expand the
range of applications of new processes
along with the trends toward greater min-
iaturization and large wafer diameters as
well as the increasingly active moves
toward the introduction of 3D ICs and
new semiconductor materials. With pro-
duction centers in the geographically
widely separated areas of Kumamoto
and Fujisawa in Japan, the PM Company
is well-positioned to deal with various
risks. Looking ahead, with the establish-
ment of a global supply chain and inno-
vations in production to shorten lead
times and lower costs, the PM Company
is looking to expand its market share and
increase profitability.
In new product development, work
is proceeding smoothly on a number
of developments, including process
equipment for 3D ICs and equipment for
increasing yields. The PM Company will
nurture these new products into busi-
nesses that will take their place as major
supports for its activities along with the
component and CMP businesses.
In the after-sales service and support
businesses, the PM Company will draw
on the capabilities of its global network to
maximum advantage in its marketing and
after-sales service activities. This will
include responding accurately to the
wide range of needs for increasing pro-
ductivity among its customers who have
operations around the globe as well as
increasing the PM Company’s own sales
and earnings power.
The PM Company, which comprises
EBARA’s precision machinery and elec-
tronics operations, will strive to optimize
its inventories to achieve increased effi-
ciency in the allocation of its assets. Also,
by moving ahead with the recruitment,
training, and assignment of necessary
personnel to implement its global strate-
gy, the PM Company will endeavor to
strengthen its management base to
achieve stable expansion in profitability.

EBARA’s corporate philosophy is “Extensive contribution to society by providing superior technologies and services related to
water, air, and the environment.” Under this corporate philosophy, EBARA positions enhancing its corporate value through the
attainment of sustainable growth of its business activities as one of its highest priority management issues. For the purpose
of addressing these issues effectively, EBARA believes that it is important to further develop management systems, which
increase the transparency and objectivity of management activities. Accordingly, EBARA is working to strengthen its corporate
governance.
Additionally, EBARA has established in-house rules that include the “EBARA Group Code of Conduct” to provide guidelines
for all related parties, such as directors, officers, and employees, when they engage in their jobs with the Company.
Corporate Governance
Based on the Companies Act established by the Japanese govern-
ment, EBARA’s organization comprises the Board of Directors, the
Board of Corporate Auditors, and the Independent Auditor.
The Board of Directors is composed of 12 members, and 4 of
these are Outside Directors who have no special interest in EBARA.
Under the rules for the activities of the Board of Directors established
by the Company, it is ensured that the execution of the duties by the
Directors complies with laws and regulations and the Company’s
Articles of Incorporation. The Board of Directors holds regular month-
ly meetings and special sessions when necessary.
The Board of Corporate Auditors comprises five members, three
of whom are Outside Auditors who have no special interest in
EBARA. Based on auditing plans and auditing principles drawn up
by the Board of Corporate Auditors, it audits the conduct of man-
agement duties by the Directors. At the same time, it exchanges
information and opinions with the Representative Director and with
the Independent Auditor to ensure the effectiveness of auditing
activities.
The Company has appointed Ernst & Young ShinNihon LLC as its
Independent Auditor, as required under the Companies Act and
Japan’s Financial Instruments and Exchange Act.
In addition to the organizational units required by law, EBARA has
formed some organizational units on its own initiative. For example,
the Management Meeting is convened monthly to provide manage-
ment members with the chance to discuss various issues concerning
management policy and strategy. Also, to ensure the transparency
and objectivity in the selection of Directors and Executive Officers as
well as in the determination of their compensation, the Company has
established the Nominations Committee and the Compensation
Committee, both of which have a majority of Outside Directors.
Moreover, EBARA has established the Corporate Ethics
Committee. The key organizational units of the Company’s corporate
governance system, such as Outside Directors, Corporate Auditors,
the Corporate Audit Depart ment, and departments in charge of inter-
nal auditing/internal control, play their own role in cooperation with
each other under the Com mittee to realize the Company’s effective
corporate governance systems.
22 EBARA CORPORATION ANNUAL REPORT 2012
Internal Controls
Internal Control Systems
In 2006, EBARA’s Board of Directors established the “Basic Internal
Control Policy.” Based on this policy, EBARA is working to improve
its internal controls and assess their effectiveness.
Activities related to the improvement of internal controls include
the establishment of systems and/or rules for directors and employ-
ees to work in compliance with laws and ordinances, a risk manage-
ment system, and the internal control systems for Group companies.
As for the risk management system, the Company has organized its
Risk Management Panel, which consists of all full-time Directors and
is chaired by the President. This panel is in charge of the risks that
may affect the Group as a whole.
Business Continuity Plan
To deal with the effects of major natural disasters, the Company
created its Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) in
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 under the assumption of hav-
ing to deal with the effects of a major earthquake. The Company’s
Initial Management Plan (IMP), Business Recovery Plan (BRP), and
Business Continuity Plan (BCP), which constitute the Company’s
BCMS, are being fully revised to take account of the Company’s
experience after the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011. The next
steps will include increasing the effectiveness of disaster prevention
and business continuity measures through education and training
programs as well as other activities.
Activities to Ensure the Reliability of Financial Reporting
Regarding internal controls required under Japan’s Financial
Instruments and Exchange Act, to ensure the reliability of financial
reporting, the Company is working to increase the efficiency of its
assessment activities while also striving to raise the quality of busi-
ness processes; for example, the Company has instituted education
and training programs for finance and accounting.
Internal Auditing Systems
In its internal auditing systems, the Company has organized the
Corporate Audit Department (CAD) as an independent unit reporting
to the President. Based on the Company’s internal audit rules, the
CAD selects important matters and themes and conducts audits
related to the status of compliance, risk management, and other
issues in the Company and other Group companies. The CAD is also
in charge of internal control assessments (including financial report-
ing risk), from an independent perspective, under the Financial
Instruments and Exchange Act. These auditing and monitoring activi-
ties make it possible to provide advice and recommendations for
improvements to the business units through the auditing process,
and its results are reported to the President of the Company. In addi-
tion, as deemed necessary, the CAD exchanges information and
opinions with the Corporate Auditors and related departments.
Compliance System
The Company is fully aware that unethical behavior due to the lack of
compliance may damage its management foundations. Accordingly,
its approach to securing thorough compliance includes five
approaches. These are the preparation of the Board of Directors’
Compliance Action Plan, the formation of a CSR Committee, the
establishment of a Group Compliance Network, the creation of
a Compliance Liaison System, and the offering of consultation
functions, or a “whistle-blower” system.
The Board of Directors’ Compliance Action Plan for taking specific
action to promote compliance is prepared each year by the Board of
Directors. The content of this plan is announced to employees to
clarify what Directors should be doing to secure compliance. The
results of the activities of Directors are assessed at the end of the
year, and used as a basis for a “plan-do-check-action” (PDCA) cycle
aimed at improving the effectiveness of these activities year by year.
The CSR Committee was formed to further advance the roles of
the previous Corporate Ethics Committee, and it commenced its
activities in September 2011. The CSR Committee is chaired by the
President, and outside legal counsel participates to offer its advice.
This committee considers and conducts deliberations concerning
how the Company should perform its social responsibilities, including
the day-to-day practice of compliance. In addition, this committee
invites the presidents and representatives of Group companies to
confirm the status of compliance in each of these companies, and,
by conducting periodic checks on the status of compliance through-
out the Group, verifies the proper conduct of business activities and
promotes improvements in Group activities.
The Group Compliance Network is composed of the officers in
charge of corporate ethics in each of the Group companies, and, to
ensure that the various measures decided by the CSR Committee
are properly implemented in the Group, this committee serves as
a forum for introducing the related training activities and initiatives
being taken by Group companies.
The Compliance Liaison System provides for the stationing of
liaison personnel at the workplace level. Its objectives include pro-
moting the development of a compliance culture in the workplace as
well as discovering and correcting compliance risks that may exist.
Training courses for liaison personnel are conducted twice a year
to sharpen their awareness of the objectives of liaison activities
and enhance their skills.
As part of compliance-related consultation functions, the Company
offers access to advisory services provided by outside legal counsel as
well as the Harassment Consultation Service, offered by the Human
Rights and Compliance Department. Together, these consultation
functions deal with between 20 and 30 compliance-related cases each
year. In addition, the Human Rights and Compliance Department con-
ducts a questionnaire survey each year to gain input for assessing and
implementing improvements in the Company’s compliance system.

The EBARA Group Code of Conduct
To attain the objectives of its corporate philosophy, EBARA has
established its EBARA Group Code of Conduct to provide guide-
lines for the proper conduct of its Directors and each and every
one of its other employees. Members of EBARA Group compa-
nies in Japan act in accordance with this code of conduct, and
staff members of Group companies elsewhere around the world
follow codes of conduct, based on the EBARA Group Code of
Conduct in Japanese, which takes account of laws and practices
in their respective countries.
Corporate Philosophy
Extensive contribution to society by providing superior technology and
the best possible service related to water, air, and the environment
• We will contribute to society through business by providing excellent
products and services globally.
• We will be fully aware of corporate ethics, comply with laws and
ordinances, and respect the principles of society.
• We will strive to conserve the global environment when proceeding
with business activities.
• We will maintain fair and amicable relationships with stakeholders.
• Top management and employees will fulfill the responsibilities of their
respective work.
Note: Overseas Group companies have set up their own codes of conduct, taking local laws, social norms, and customs into account.
The EBARA Group fulfills its corporate social responsibilities by having its Directors and all of its employees
abide by the “EBARA Group Code of Conduct.” The EBARA Group will continue to maintain good relation-
ships with all its shareholders and earn the trust of its customers by offering products and services that
benefit society, industry, and the people’s livelihood, while giving consideration to the natural environment.
In addition, the EBARA Group supports the United Nations (UN) Global Compact and puts into practice the
10 principles of the Global Compact, which are grouped into four areas: human rights, labor, the environ-
ment, and anti-corruption. To acquaint stakeholders with its CSR activities, the EBARA Group prepares
an annual EBARA Group CSR Report.
26 EBARA CORPORATION ANNUAL REPORT 2012
Respect for Human Rights
With the UN International Labour Organization (ILO) Standards
as a basis, we will protect and respect the human rights of all our
stakeholders, including customers, business partners, citizens,
and employees. At EBARA’s CSR training programs held in 2011,
a definition of human rights was explained to EBARA Group
employees, and they gained a deeper understanding of the
prevention and proper responses to violations of human rights
in the workplace.
Observance of Labor Practices
EBARA is implementing activities to realize an appropriate
work-life balance, which is being championed by Japan’s Cabinet
Office. EBARA has declared each Wednesday as a “no overtime”
day, and stepped up its enforcement of this rule beginning in
September 2010. Also, in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012,
EBARA revised its systems for providing support for the bearing
and raising of children. Specifically, under the revised systems,
EBARA decided to provide for an increase in the number of days
off and an extension of the term. The aim of this revision was to
enable male employees to have additional time off to participate
more actively in the child-rearing process.
Preservation of the Natural Environment
EBARA is implementing its environmental preservation activities
under the EBARA Group Environmental Vision (2020), which cites
two principal objectives: “The EBARA Group is striving to create
a society in which nature and technology are in harmony” and
“The EBARA Group endeavors to conserve the global environ-
ment through supplying its technology, products, and services.”
EBARA conducts periodic environmental audits and environmen-
tal assessments with the objective of avoiding and minimizing
environmental risk accompanying the conduct of construction
work within the Group. Also, EBARA endeavors to offer eco-
friendly products, such as high-efficiency standard pumps,
chillers, and dry vacuum pumps.
Opposition to Corrupt Practices
Both in Japan and overseas, the EBARA Group Code of Conduct
absolutely forbids the payment of bribes to national and local
government officials as a matter of course as well as the giving
or receiving of bribes for the purpose of gaining profit in business
activities improperly or in payment for favors received, etc.
These rules are observed at all times.
Activities Contributing to Society
For more than 20 years, the EBARA Hatakeyama Memorial Fund
(EHMF) has held international seminars, drawing on EBARA’s
accumulated technology, for engineers and university students,
mainly in the countries of Southeast Asia. During the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2012, these seminars were held in six loca-
tions, including the Asia Institute of Technology in Thailand and
Hanoi University of Science and Technology in Vietnam, with a
total of 348 participants in attendance. In Japan, EBARA also
invites primary-school and middle-school students and adult
citizens living in areas close to its plants as well as university
students to tour its facilities.

Financial Review
Overview
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, the business environment overseas was charac-terized by gradual improvement in economic conditions despite the persistence of high unem-ployment rates in the United States, declines in housing prices, and other factors. However, in Europe, economic growth decelerated because of the continuation of unsettled fiscal and mone-tary conditions there. In Asia, the economies of China and India, which had shown robust perfor-mance supported mainly by domestic demand, began to weaken. In Japan, investment by the public sector, which had been delayed by the effects of the Great East Japan Earthquake, began to show a recovery trend due to the positive effects of supplementary budgets, and private-sec-tor capital investment, which moved into a slump following the Great East Japan Earthquake, is also bottoming out, and the economy is showing moderate improvement. Amid these adverse economic conditions, the EBARA Group (the Group) launched a new three-year, medium-term management plan entitled “E-Plan2013” covering the period through the year ending March 31, 2014. This plan is based on four policies: (1) Promoting “regional pro-duction for regional supply” in priority areas and establishing an optimally located production and supply system from a global perspective, (2) working to enter new markets by expanding core business domains, (3) aiming to optimize “monozukuri” (manufacturing) processes through sci-entific approaches, and (4) expanding the functions of the corporate headquarters in keeping with the globalization of business domains. The beginning of E-Plan2013 marks the start of EBARA’s movement toward establishing a stronger and stabler business structure. As a consequence, consolidated net sales for the fiscal year amounted to ¥412,077 million (an increase of 2.6% year on year) and operating income amounted to ¥23,267 million (a decrease of 26.2% year on year). Sales in the Fluid Machinery & Systems (FMS) Company and the Precision Machinery (PM) Company increased, but operating income decreased in all business segments. Other income (expense), net, amounted to expenses of ¥12,402 million, as a result of the reporting of an extraordinary loss of ¥10,295 million in connection with the withdrawal from a business accompanying the concluding of an agreement to make a final transfer of a plant to the client in the InfraServ project in Germany. Consequently, income before income taxes and minority interests amounted to ¥10,865 mil-lion. Net income amounted to ¥2,890 million (a decrease of 89.7% year on year), as a result of the reversal of deferred tax assets by ¥2,453 million with tax reform in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.
Financial Position
AssetsAs a result of a decrease from the end of the previous year in current assets of ¥26,173 million and an increase in fixed assets of ¥7,239 million, total assets decreased ¥18,934 million, to ¥488,964 million. The principal reasons for these movements in assets were as follows. The decline in current assets was due to decreases of ¥16,191 million in cash and cash equivalents and ¥13,408 million in deferred tax assets, although inventories increased ¥2,836 million. The decline in property, plant and equipment was due to a ¥4,628 million increase in accumu-lated depreciation. The increase in investments and other assets was due primarily to an increase in deferred tax assets.

LiabilitiesCompared with the previous fiscal year-end, current liabilities decreased ¥9,739 million, and long-term liabilities decreased ¥8,913 million; thus, total liabilities decreased ¥18,652 million, to ¥334,308 million. The principal causes of these decreases were as follows. Current liabilities decreased ¥9,739 million as a result of a decrease in the reserve for con-struction losses of ¥8,220 million. Long-term liabilities decreased ¥8,913 million as a result of a decrease of ¥8,015 million in long-term bank loans.
Net AssetsNet assets at the end of the fiscal year amounted to ¥154,656 million, ¥282 million lower than at the end of the previous fiscal year. Principal changes affecting net asset items were cash divi-dends paid of ¥2,110 million, a decrease of ¥2,007 million in foreign currency translation adjust-ments, and a net income of ¥2,890 million.
Cash Flows
Net cash flow provided by operating activities decreased from the previous year and amounted to a net inflow of ¥12,589 million due to a decrease of ¥17,684 million in income before income taxes and minority interests. Among investing activities, the Group reported a cash inflow from proceeds from sales of fixed assets that was decreased ¥17,272 million compared with the previous year, collection of loans receivable decreased ¥5,622 million, and cash used in investing activities amounted to a net outflow of ¥8,838 million. Net cash used for financing activities amounted to an overall net outflow of ¥19,998 million, mainly because repayment of interest-bearing debt amounted to ¥16,862 million and other fac-tors. As a consequence, consolidated cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period were ¥87,296 million, ¥16,707 million lower than at the end of the previous fiscal year.
Capital Expenditures
Regarding investments, during the fiscal year, the Group implemented capital investments amounting to ¥12,316 million. These were primarily for expansion of production capacity and the introduction of equipment to enhance productivity. This figure for investment includes expendi-tures for the acquisition of intangible fixed assets and long-term prepaid expenses. Principal capital investments by business segment were as follows. Please note that these investment figures include inter-segment transactions.
Fluid Machinery & Systems CompanyInvestments were made primarily in the expansion of production capacity and the amount of capital investment during the fiscal year was ¥7,273 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
(1) Capital ResourcesAt the end of the fiscal year under review, on a consolidated basis, the Group had total interest-bearing debt of ¥143,617 million, comprising ¥80,026 million in short-term interest-bearing liabil-ities and ¥63,591 million in long-term interest-bearing liabilities. Although this balance decreased ¥16,796 million from the total balance at the end of the previous fiscal year of ¥160,413 million, the Group’s dependence on interest-bearing debt remains at a high level, and management believes that reducing this dependence is an important issue. We believe that increasing profit-ability and the efficiency of capital are basic to strengthening the Group’s financial base. During the fiscal year under review, the Group’s free cash flow, defined as net cash from oper-ating activities plus net cash from investing activities, amounted to a net inflow of ¥3,751 million, and the amount of net outflow increased ¥33,850 million from the previous fiscal year. While net cash flow provided by operating activities amounted to ¥12,589 million, a ¥14,015 million decrease from ¥26,604 million of net cash provided by operating activities in the previous year, the increase in net outflow reflected a ¥19,835 million increase in net cash used in investing activities, to ¥8,838 million, compared with ¥10,997 million of net cash used in investing activi-ties in the previous fiscal year.
(2) Management of LiquidityThe Group takes the position that reducing cash and cash equivalents is a basic requirement for increasing asset efficiency. To manage liquidity risk, the Company has concluded commitment line contracts with its principal banks that provide an adequate amount of financial liquidity for its operations. In addition, to increase the efficiency of cash within the Group, the Company has instituted a system whereby idle cash is concentrated in the parent company and then allocated to Group companies with cash requirements. The consolidated balance of cash and cash equivalents at the end of the fiscal year was ¥87,295 million. In addition, the available balance of commitment lines was ¥45,000 million, and available overdrafts amounted to ¥5,000 million. While the total funding limit from overdrafts and commitment lines was ¥50,000 million, the Company had no borrowings from these sources at the end of the fiscal year.
R&D Expenses
R&D expenditures of the Group can be divided into three major categories:1. Basic research aimed at discovering and establishing seed technologies for the medium-to-long term,2. Development research focused on the application of technologies and the creation of new products, and3. R&D to provide the development research of existing businesses and improvement of existing products. The Company implemented R&D activities that are directly linked to its businesses and the commercialization of products by integrating these activities directly into the respective compa-nies and subsidiaries. Regarding point 1. above, the corporate headquarters takes the leadership in this area, and, by working closely with the operating companies, research is focused on technological “seeds” and the search for new markets. With regard to points 2. and 3. above, the individual business divisions and Group companies take the leadership in implementing these two categories of R&D. R&D expenses amounted to ¥3,827 million during the year under review.

Activities by business segment are as follows:Fluid Machinery & Systems CompanyThe FMS Company worked to strengthen its lineup of products for global markets and develop products suited to the individual regions where they are sold in the fields of water, energy, and the natural environment, where sustained growth is expected in the medium-to-long term. For example, the FMS Company launched new customized pumps for seawater desalination and high-pressure pumps for combined-cycle electric power generators, and advanced the develop-ment of new process pumps for oil and gas market, energy-saving high-efficiency standard pumps and motors, submersible pumps for use globally in sewage treatment applications, and other types of equipment. It also completed the development of a series of turbochillers equipped with a new, high-performance compressor and featuring low impact on the natural environment. In addition, the FMS Company continued to proceed with activities to increase the efficiency of its chillers and develop further applications. Amid an increasingly competitive envi-ronment, initiatives were also taken to enhance cost-competitiveness and reliability through the application of basic technologies, including advanced numerical simulation technology and materials engineering technology, as well as strengthen R&D for service and support businesses. The FMS Company made expenditures on R&D amounting to ¥2,793 million during the year under review.
Environmental Engineering CompanyIn the environmental engineering field, since the focus of operations is shifting from the construc-tion of new plants to after-sales service, in today’s market, more so than in the past, the EE Company is being required to provide services related to the renewal of existing facilities and strengthen its capabilities for offering proposals for operation and maintenance (O&M) services as well as improve its cost-competitiveness. In view of these circumstances, the EE Company is working to strengthen its capabilities for the renewal of facilities, develop new technologies and products that will make possible reductions in the life-cycle cost of facilities, and promote repair, maintenance, and operating technologies that will improve the performance of existing products. The EE Company made expenditures on R&D amounting to ¥69 million during the year under review.
Precision Machinery CompanyIn the precision machinery field, in the semiconductor wafer production equipment field, the PM Company worked to refine and improve its existing products and develop new equipment with the aims of responding to the requirements for larger-diameter wafers as well as greater minia-turization and three-dimensional integration. Among component products, in addition to equip-ment for the semiconductor industry, the PM Company worked to ready and expand its lineup of products for the liquid crystal display (LCD) and solar battery industries, while also striving to develop products that can contribute to energy conservation as well as reduce the burden on the natural environment. Also, by pursuing collaborative R&D with customers and universities, and participating in consortia for the development of cutting-edge technologies, the PM Company is continuing its research into next-generation semiconductor process technologies. The PM Company made expenditures on R&D amounting to ¥965 million during the year under review.
Business Risks
The Group confronts a number of business risks that may have an influence on the judgment of investors. These are described as follows. In addition to being aware of the possibility of the emergence of these risks, the Group implements measures to prevent their occurrence and deal with them when they emerge.
EBARA CORPORATION ANNUAL REPORT 2012 35
This section includes forward-looking statements that are based on judgments made at the time of the preparation of this report on the Group’s performance.
1. Market RiskPublic works projects account for a high percentage of the sales of the fluid-related plant engi-neering division and the EE Company. Accordingly, there is a possibility that there will be cut-backs in public works by the national government, regional governments, and related entities. In addition, the business of the PM Company is influenced by the silicon cycle. Accordingly, fluctu-ations in the market for semiconductors may have a detrimental impact on the Group’s business activities, performance, and financial position.
2. Large-Scale Projects and Overseas Business ActivitiesThe Group manufactures and constructs machinery and plants in big projects both in Japan and foreign countries. Certain of these projects involve technical issues with a high degree of difficul-ty. There is a possibility that additional costs may be incurred due to failure to function properly, prolongation of the time required to achieve the specified capabilities, and other factors. Also, big projects in foreign countries involve risks related to business environments that differ from those of Japan. The Group takes possible measures to control these risks and provides for construction losses by setting aside an amount based on its estimate of such costs; however, if actual additional costs exceed the reserves, this may have a detrimental impact on the Group’s performance.
3. The InfraServ Project in Germany in View of ProgressRegarding the InfraServ project, agreement was reached with the client to make a final handover of the plant in its present form, but, because the client is making use of project finance arrange-ments to finance this plant, the final handover will require the approval of the banks providing the financing. The client is currently in the process of conducting procedures to secure the approval of the members of the project finance bank syndicate. In the event that approval of the banks cannot be secured, there is a possibility that this could have an adverse effect on the Group’s performance.
4. Business Realignments, etc.The EBARA Group is allocating resources to its businesses with selectivity and focus and, in realigning its business activities, may withdraw from certain unprofitable businesses and liquidate or take other appropriate action with regard to associated companies. Such realignments may have an impact on the Group’s performance and financial position.
5. Exchange RiskTransactions denominated in foreign currencies that are conducted as part of business activities overseas are converted to yen in the course of preparing the consolidated financial statements. As a result of changes in foreign exchange conversion rates at the time of conversion, there is a possibility that this may have an effect on the Group’s performance.
6. Interest-Rate RiskThe Group’s interest-bearing debt includes fixed- and floating-rate liabilities. For that portion of interest-bearing debt borrowed at floating rates, the Group has arranged for interest-rate swaps to fix the interest liability and loans with floating rates to lessen the risk of interest-rate fluctua-tions; however, if interest payments on the unhedged portion rise due to higher interest rates, this may have an adverse impact on the Group’s performance.
7. Risks Related to the Impact of Natural Disasters and Impairment of the Social InfrastructureIf a Group place of business is struck by a major typhoon, earthquake, or other natural disaster that adversely affects its ability to conduct business activities, this may have a detrimental impact on the Group’s performance. In addition, in the event of a major accident affecting the labor
36 EBARA CORPORATION ANNUAL REPORT 2012
force or an accident involving equipment that leads to a stoppage, or impairment, of business activities, this may have an adverse impact on the Group’s performance.
8. Deferred Tax AssetsThe Group determines the possibility of recoveries from future taxable income. Regarding the portion of deferred tax assets for which the Group believes there is doubt about making recover-ies, the Group has provided the valuation allowance for such doubtful amounts. However, the estimate of future taxable income may vary depending on performance at that time. In the event that factors influencing the estimate of taxable income occur, it may be necessary to make changes in the valuation allowance amounts. In such cases, the Group will make adjustments in the doubtful portion of deferred tax assets, and, since an equivalent amount will be reflected in the deferred tax benefit on the Consolidated Statements of Income, there is a possibility that net income may decline as a result.
9. Material ProcurementThe Group procures parts and materials for its manufacturing and construction activities and is influenced by fluctuations in market conditions for these materials. Increases in prices of materi-als result in higher material costs for the Group and may have an adverse impact on the Group’s performance.
10. Legal RestrictionsThe Group conducts operations in Japan and foreign countries and is subject to the laws of the countries where its operations take place. In some instances, the passage of laws and changes in existing legislation may result in an alteration of assumptions for operating and business plans. Such changes in assumptions may have an adverse impact on the Group’s performance.
11. Litigation RiskIn conducting its business operations, the Group may be the object of lawsuits or bring lawsuits against other parties with regard to such matters as product liability, intellectual property, envi-ronmental protection, labor issues, and other matters. Depending on the outcome of such law-suits, litigation of this kind may have an impact on the Group’s performance and financial position as well as on the trust placed in the Group by society.
12. Risk of Increased Costs of Land SalesAs provided for in the sales contract for the land where EBARA’s former headquarters and its Haneda Plant were located, the area was handed over to Yamato Transport Co., Ltd. Subsequently, during the course of the construction of a logistics terminal by this company, slate fragments containing asbestos were discovered. This company has brought a lawsuit for com-pensation of damages due to defects as provided for under the contract for sale of the property. After investigating this matter, the Company has drawn the conclusion that the said slate frag-ments do not constitute defects under the contract. The Company has obtained a written legal opinion from a law office substantiating this view and will use this to assert the correctness of its position in this matter. Nevertheless, depending on the subsequent course of events, this matter may have an adverse effect on the Group’s performance.
13. Risk of Collection of Export ReceivablesThe Group exports its products to the Middle East. There is concern that export receivables out-standing from customers in this region may not be collectible because of international coopera-tion measures, changes in regional political conditions, and other factors. In the event that it is impossible to make collections, this may have a detrimental impact on the Group’s business activities, performance, and financial position.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsEBARA CORPORATION and Consolidated Subsidiaries
1. Basis of Presenting Consolidated Financial Statements
EBARA CORPORATION (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter, collectively referred to as the “Group”) maintain their records and prepare their statutory fi nancial statements in accor-dance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, and its foreign subsidiaries in conformity with those of the countries of their domicile. The accompanying consolidated fi nan-cial statements were also prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of consolidation The consolidated fi nancial statements include the accounts of the Company and those of certain
of its subsidiaries. All signifi cant intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in con-solidation.
As of March 31, 2012, the numbers of consolidated subsidiaries, non-consolidated subsidiar-ies that applied the equity method, and affi liated companies that applied the equity method were 53, 1 and 2 (48, 1 and 2 in 2011), respectively.
The fi nancial statements of foreign subsidiaries are consolidated by using their fi nancial state-ments as of the fi scal year-end, and necessary adjustments are made to their fi nancial state-ments to refl ect any signifi cant transactions from January 1 to March 31.
Previously, the date for closing the accounts of Elliott Group Holdings Inc. (the name of which was changed from Elliott Ebara Turbomachinery Corporation, effective July 1, 2011) was December 31. As a result of the change in the date for closing the accounts of this company to March 31, the fi nancial statements consolidated with EBARA’s accounts for the fi scal year under review cover the 15-month period from January 1, 2011, through March 31, 2012.
The differences, at the time of acquisition or consolidation newly made, between the cost and underlying net equity of investments in consolidated subsidiaries are included in other assets and are amortized on a straight-line basis over a reasonable estimated period of time within a 20-year period in respect of each particular difference.
Foreign currency translation Foreign currency denominated trade receivables and payables are translated into yen at the
balance sheet date. Investments are translated into yen at the exchange rates current when the trans actions occur.
Assets and liabilities of foreign consolidated subsidiaries are translated into yen at appropriate year-end rates. Revenue, expenses and net income of these companies are also translated into yen at the appropriate year-end rates. Contributed capital to those companies by the parent company is translated at the rates at which the transactions were made. Receivables and pay-ables with the parent company are translated at the same rates used by the parent company, and the resultant translation adjustments are stated in the net assets section.
Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits, time deposits with maturi-
ties of three months or less, and highly liquid investments.
Investment securities and other fi nancial instruments Investment securities and other fi nancial instruments are valued using the following methods: (a) Securities having market value are stated at market value, and the unrealized gain or loss,
net of tax, is credited or debited to net assets as shown in the balance sheets. Cost of securities sold is determined by the gross average.
(b) Securities not having market value are recorded at the gross average cost. (c) Bonds held to maturity are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. (d) Other fi nancial assets (or instruments), including golf memberships, are valued at market
value, if available.
46 EBARA CORPORATION ANNUAL REPORT 2012
Inventories Finished products and raw materials are stated at the gross average cost (computed by lower-
ing the value on the balance sheets from book value to account for any decline in earnings- generation capacity of such assets), except for in the Precision Machinery Group, which employs the moving average method (computed by lowering the value on the balance sheets from book value to account for any decline in earnings-generation capacity of such assets), and work in process is valued at specifi c identifi cation cost (computed by lowering the value on the balance sheets from book value to account for any decline in earnings-generation capacity of such assets). Real estate for sale represents the specifi c identifi cation cost for each parcel of land and each structure.
Property, plant and equipment and related depreciation (except leased assets) The declining balance method, applied according to the criteria specifi ed in the corporate
income tax laws, is used as the primary method for computing depreciation. However, deprecia-tion of buildings (excluding fi xtures installed in such buildings) that were acquired on or after April 1, 1998 is computed using the straight-line method. Consolidated foreign subsidiaries employ the straight-line method. Note that the method for depreciating minor assets valued from ¥100,000 to less than ¥200,000 is the lump-sum method specifi ed in the corporate income tax laws, and these assets are depreciated in equal amounts over a three-year period.
Leases Leased assets under fi nance lease transactions that do not transfer ownership of the asset to
the lessee are depreciated by the straight-line method over the lease term as the useful life and a residual value of zero.
For fi nancial leases that do not transfer ownership to the lessee commencing on or prior to March 31, 2008, the Group adopts accounting standards normally applicable to ordinary operat-ing lease transactions.
Income taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between fi nancial
reporting and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities and are measured by applying currently enacted tax rates and laws.
Severance and pension plans The cost of the severance and pension plans, based on actuarial computations of current and
future employee benefi ts, including the unfunded severance indemnities plan, is charged to income. Retirement benefi ts to directors and corporate auditors are also accrued at the amounts of the
future liability in relation to the length of service at the balance sheet date and included in accrued severance and pension costs.
The Company, its domestic consolidated subsidiaries, and some foreign consolidated subsid-iaries have termination allowance plans and retirement pension plans as severance and defi ned benefi t pension plans.
Revenue recognition Standard for cost of completed work and construction revenue The percentage-of-completion method has been applied for the completion of a portion of
the construction work that is deemed to be certain by the end of the current fi scal year. (The percentage of completion is estimated based on the percentage of cost incurred compared with the estimated total cost). For other construction work, the completed-contract method has been applied.
Stock and bond issue costs Stock and bond issue costs are charged to income as incurred.
Research and development costs Costs relating to research and development activities are charged to income as incurred.
Research and development costs charged to income were ¥3,827 million ($46,563 thousand) and ¥4,067 million for the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
EBARA CORPORATION ANNUAL REPORT 2012 47
Allowance for doubtful receivables Allowance for doubtful receivables is provided based on past experience for normal receivables
and on an estimate of the collectability of receivables from companies in fi nancial diffi culty.
Reserve for losses on construction completion guarantees To provide for possible expenses arising from guarantees against defects, the Company makes
reasonable estimates of the ratio of such expenses and uses this ratio to derive provisions for such losses.
Reserve for product warranties To provide for expenses related to defect guarantees related to buying and selling contracts, the
amount of such warranties is estimated by multiplying a reasonable percentage of defects by the value of product sales.
Reserve for construction losses To prepare for possible losses on construction projects contracted to the Company, the
Company makes estimates of such losses for those uncompleted projects deemed to have a strong possibility of incurring losses and for which such construction losses can be reasonably estimated.
Inventories related to construction contracts on which losses are expected and the reserve for construction losses are both presented on the balance sheets without offsetting. The value of inventories related to construction contracts on which losses are expected that are contained within the reserve for construction losses is ¥3,289 million ($40,017 thousand) (Including work in process of ¥3,289 million).
The provision to the reserve for construction losses contained in cost of sales was ¥8,152 million ($99,185 thousand) for the year ended March 31, 2012.
Reserve for expenses related to the sale of land Accompanying the sale of the land formerly occupied by the Group’s Haneda Plant, this reserve
has been created to provide for expenses related to restoring the land to its original condition.
Hedging accounting methods Hedging transactions Gains or losses and evaluation differences related to hedging transactions accounted for at
fair market value are deferred as assets or liabilities until recognized. Evaluation gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts are allocated to settlement periods throughout the peri-od of the contract. Interest-rate swaps are treated as a special method under the Accounting Standard for Financial Instruments.
Hedging instruments and hedged items Hedging instruments Foreign exchange forward contracts, foreign currency option contracts, and interest-rate swap
agreements were used. Hedged items Currency exchange rate risk on existing assets and liabilities in foreign currencies and interest-
rate risk. Hedging policy The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries use derivatives only for the purpose of hedg-
ing related to exports, imports, funding, and others in accordance with internal fund manage-ment policy.
Assessing the effectiveness of hedging Interest risk The effectiveness of hedging is assessed by comparing the accumulated cash fl ows between
hedging instruments and hedging items. However, with regard to the interest-rate swaps that agree with hedge criteria, the assessments are omitted.
Currency exchange rate risk As long as one hedging instrument and one hedging object correspond, the hedge is consid-
ered effective.

Net income (loss) and dividends per share Primary net income (loss) per share of common stock is based on the average number of shares
of common stock outstanding during each period. Common stock equivalents on warrants and convertible bonds are not taken into consider-
ation for the above computation. Fully diluted net income per share of common stock is com-puted assuming outstanding convertible bonds at that date are all converted to common shares after adjustment of after-tax debt servicing costs, unless antidilutive effect results.
3. Change in Accounting Policies
Application of the Accounting Standard for Asset Retirement Obligations From the beginning of the fi rst quarter of the fi scal year ended March 31, 2011, the Accounting
Standard for Asset Retirement Obligations (Accounting Standards Bureau of Japan (ASBJ) Statement No. 18, issued on March 31, 2008) and the Implementation Guidance on Accounting Standard for Asset Retirement Obligations (ASBJ Guidance No. 21, issued on March 31, 2008) have been adopted.
As a consequence, for accumulated consolidated results through the third quarter, the operat-ing income and ordinary income were decreased by ¥163 million, and income before income taxes was decreased by ¥1,070 million compared to the previous method for the recognition of calculation.
Application of the Accounting Standard for Business Combinations and Related Matters
From the beginning of the fi scal year ended March 31, 2011, the Accounting Standard for Business Combinations (ASBJ Guidance No. 21, issued on December 26, 2008), Accounting Standard for Consolidated Financial Statements (ASBJ Guidance No. 22, issued on December 26, 2008), Partial Amendments to Accounting Standard for Research and Development Costs (ASBJ Guidance No. 23, issued on December 26, 2008), Revised Accounting Standard for Business Divestitures (ASBJ Guidance No. 7, issued on December 26, 2008), Revised Accounting Standard for Equity Method of Accounting for Investments (ASBJ Guidance No. 16, issued on December 26, 2008) and Revised Accounting Standard for Business Combinations and Accounting Standard for Business Divestitures (ASBJ Guidance No. 10, issued on December 26, 2008) have been adopted.
Application of the Accounting Standard for Earnings Per Share From the fi scal year ended March 31, 2012, we have applied the “Accounting Standard for
Earnings Per Share” (Accounting Standards Board of Japan [ASBJ] Statement No. 2 of June 30, 2010), the “Guidance on Accounting Standard for Earnings Per Share” (ASBJ Guidance No. 4 of June 30, 2010), and the “Practical Solution on Accounting for Earnings Per Share” (ASBJ PITF No. 9 of June 30, 2010). To calculate diluted net income per share of the quarter, we have changed the method to include potential services offered by the employees in the fair valuation of stock options of pay-ment when exercising the right regarding stock options whose rights are secured after a certain period of employment. This change in accounting policy has been applied retroactively, and the fi gures for the previ-ous fi scal year are shown after taking account of the dilutive effect of latent shares retroactively. As a result, compared with the fi nancial statements prior to these retroactive adjustments, the net income per share after adjustments for latent shares and retroactive adjustments was ¥0.02 higher.
4. Additional Information Adoption of Accounting Standard for Accounting Changes and Error Corrections For accounting changes and corrections of prior period errors made on and after the beginning
of the fi scal year under review, we adopted the “Accounting Standard for Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (ASBJ Statement No. 24, December 4, 2009) and the “Guidance on Accounting Standard for Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (ASBJ Guidance No. 24, December 4, 2009).

8. Impairment Losses on Long-Lived Assets
Fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 The EBARA Group reported impairment losses of long-lived assets amounting to ¥128 million
($1,557 thousand) in the fi scal year ended March 31, 2012. These impairment losses were rec-ognized in the following asset groups: Idle assets.
Outline of asset grouping: The Group groups its assets according to its business segments, but idle assets are grouped individually.
Recognition of impairment losses: Regarding machinery and equipment, patent and others that are no longer expected to contribute to future income, the value of such assets has been derogated to the memorandum value. Regarding land and buildings, since the market value has decreased signifi cantly compared with the book value, the book value has been reduced to the recoverable value. Computation of recoverable value: The Company employs the net sale value as the recover-able amounts of idle assets. The net sale value is estimated by reasonable methods, taking offi -cially announced land prices along railways and other information as a base.
Fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 The EBARA Group reported impairment losses of long-lived assets amounting to ¥74 million in
the fi scal year ended March 31, 2011. These impairment losses were recognized in the following asset groups: Idle assets.
Outline of asset grouping: The Group groups its assets according to its business segments, but idle assets are grouped individually.
Recognition of impairment losses: Regarding land, buildings, and structures, since the market value has decreased signifi cantly compared with the book value, the book value has been reduced to the recoverable value. Computation of recoverable value: Recoverable value is calculated based on the net selling price. The net selling price is estimated from data on land prices issued by Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism using reasonable methods.
Fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 The EBARA Group reported impairment losses of long-lived assets amounting to ¥221 million in
the fi scal year ended March 31, 2010. These impairment losses were recognized in the following asset groups: Wind power generation facilities and idle assets.
Outline of asset grouping: The Group groups its assets according to its business segments, but idle assets are grouped individually.
Recognition of impairment losses: The book value of wind power generation facilities has been reduced to their recoverable value based on a review of the future cash fl ows owing to transfer of shares of Eco Power Co., Ltd. to be generated by these facilities.
EBARA CORPORATION ANNUAL REPORT 2012 51
Regarding land, buildings, and structures, since the market value has decreased signifi cantly compared with the book value, the book value has been reduced to the recoverable value.
Regarding value of telephone rights, since the market value has decreased signifi cantly com-pared with the book value, the book value has been reduced to the recoverable value in the case of land for which the future use has not been determined.
Computation of recoverable value: Recoverable value is calculated based on the value in use of the asset or the net sales value of the asset. For wind power generation equipment, recoverable value is computed based on the difference from the future cash fl ow of the facilities. For land, buildings, and structures, recoverable value is estimated based on the appraised real estate value of the assets. Recoverable value of telephone rights is assessed based on the expected disposal value of these rights. When recoverable value is estimated based on value in use, the discount rates for future cash fl ows are assumed to be 4.0–6.6%.
9. Bank Loans and Long-Term Debt
As of March 31, 2012 and 2011, bank loans amounted to ¥54,798 million ($666,723 thousand) and ¥53,524 million, respectively, and generally represent short-term notes (having a life of less than 365 days), of which ¥1,446 million ($17,593 thousand) and ¥1,992 million are secured.

December 2, 2011 of the “Act for Partial Revision of the Income Tax Act, etc. for the Purpose of Creating Taxation System Responding to Changes in Economic and Social Structures” (Act No. 114 of 2011) and the “Act on Special Measures for Securing Financial Resources Necessary to Implement Measures for Reconstruction following the Great East Japan Earthquake” (Act No. 117 of 2011), corporation tax rates will be reduced, and the special reconstruction corporation tax, a surtax for reconstruction funding after the Great East Japan Earthquake, will be imposed, for the fi scal years beginning on or after April 1, 2012.
54 EBARA CORPORATION ANNUAL REPORT 2012
Accompanying these revisions, the statutory tax rate used in the calculation of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities will be changed from the previous 40.7% to 38.0% for consoli-dated accounts covering the fi scal year beginning April 1, 2012, through the fi scal year begin-ning April 1, 2014, and then to 35.6% for the fi scal years beginning April 1, 2015, and subsequent fi scal years.

16. Financial Instruments 1. Status of fi nancial instruments
(1) Policies regarding fi nancial instruments The Company raises the necessary long-term funds for its capital investment and other require-
ments principally from bank borrowings, the issuance of bonds, and other means. Short-term working capital is raised through bank borrowings and others. Available short-term funds are invested in highly secure fi nancial assets. In addition, as noted below, derivatives are used to avoid risk, and the Company’s policy is not to use derivatives for speculative purposes.
(2) Types and risk for fi nancial instruments Notes and accounts receivable, which are operating assets, are exposed to customer credit risk.
In addition, since the Company conducts its business activities globally, its operating assets denominated in foreign currencies are exposed to foreign currency risk. To manage foreign cur-rency risk, the Company hedges its net foreign currency assets and liabilities position through the use of foreign currency borrowings and deposits. The Company’s con solidated subsidiaries use foreign currency forward contracts to hedge foreign currency exposure. Securities and invest-ment securities are principally money market funds (MMFs) and stocks in other companies that are held for business relationship purposes and are, therefore, exposed to market price fl uctuations.
56 EBARA CORPORATION ANNUAL REPORT 2012
Notes and accounts payable, which are operating liabilities, come due for payment, for the most part, within one year. In addition, a portion of these, which arise in connection with imports of raw materials and other items, are denominated in foreign currencies and are exposed to for-eign currency risk; however, in general, the balance of these liabilities is within the amounts of accounts and notes payable denominated in foreign currencies. Among these, a portion of bor-rowings have fl oating interest rates and are subject to interest-rate risk. These are hedged through the use of derivatives (interest-rate swaps). The Company also makes use of other derivatives: namely, foreign currency forward contracts that are employed to hedge the foreign currency risk of operating assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as well as inter-est-rate swaps that are arranged to hedge the foreign currency risk of interest paid on borrow-ings. Please note that further information on hedge accounting, including hedging instruments, hedging items, hedging policy, and assessing the effectiveness of hedging, may be found in a previous section entitled “Hedging accounting methods” contained in the section “2. Summary of Signifi cant Accounting Policies”. (3) Risk management systems for fi nancial instruments
a. Management of credit risk (risk related to nonperformance of contractual obligations by trans-action counterparties)
Regarding operating assets, the Company’s fi nance and business departments, based on the Company regulations related to invoices and the receipt of payments, monitor the condition of principal business customers, and supervise the payment dates and balances by customer with the aims of identifying possible deterioration in the fi nancial condition of customers and other issues related to the recovery of exposure at an early date and taking steps to minimize credit risk.
For securities held to maturity, under the Company’s regulations, investments are made only in securities with high credit ratings, and the credit risk of these investments is minimal.
The maximum value of credit risk, as of the date of the closing of accounts, is shown by the value on the balance sheets of fi nancial assets subject to credit risk.
b. Management of market risk (risk of fl uctuations in foreign currency rates, interest rates, and other indicators)
To manage foreign currency risk, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are classifi ed by currency, and risk is hedged through the use of foreign currency borrowings and deposits. Also, for foreign currency assets and liabilities, the Company makes use of foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its exposure. Please note that, depending on conditions in foreign currency markets, for confi rmed and scheduled foreign currency assets and obligations that are certain to take place, the Company makes arrangements for foreign currency forward contracts. To hedge against interest-rate fl uctuations, the Company makes use of interest-rate swaps.
For securities and investment securities, the Company confi rms the market prices and the fi nancial condition of the issuers (transactions counterparties). In addition, for securities other than those held to maturity, the Company reviews its holdings on a continuing basis, taking account of the relationship with the issuer (counterparty).
For derivatives, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries manage such exposure based on Company regulations for accounting for fi nancial instruments.
c. Management of liquidity risk related to fund-raising (risk of being unable to meet payment obligations on the scheduled date)
The Company’s Finance Department prepares and revises cash fl ow plans based on reports of the Company departments, and manages liquidity risk by maintaining a volume of liquidity appropriate for business conditions. Also, as an alternative to liquid assets, the Company manages its liquidity by arranging for commitment lines in a specifi ed amount.
(4) Supplementary information on the fair value of fi nancial instruments The fair value of fi nancial instruments, in addition to values based on market prices, also includes
the value of instruments that do not have market prices that have been calculated based on rea-sonable methods. Since factors that may fl uctuate are taken into account in these calculations, the respective values may change when different assumptions are adopted.
In addition, the contract value of derivatives, as contained in “Information of the fair value of fi nancial instruments”, does not indicate the value of the market risk of these derivative transac-tions.
EBARA CORPORATION ANNUAL REPORT 2012 57
2. Information on the fair value of fi nancial instruments The amounts shown on the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2012 and 2011 (the
date of settlement of the consolidated accounts), the corresponding fair values, and differences between book and fair value are as follows.
Please note that the values of securities and investment securities for which ascertaining the fair value is recognized to be extremely diffi cult have not been included (Refer to Note 2.).

Note 1: Methods of calculating the fair value of fi nancial instruments and matters related to securities and derivatives
(1) Assets a. Cash and time deposits These items are settled within short periods and are shown at their respective book value, which
is almost equivalent to their settlement values. b. Trade receivables The fair value of these fi nancial instruments is calculated, by specifi ed period and type of securi-
ty, as the present value by discounting the cash fl ow to maturity using a discount rate that takes account of credit risk.
c. Securities and investment securitiesThese fair values for stocks are based on quoted market prices. Also, for the note related to securities to be held to maturity, please refer to the “Marketable and Investment Securities” section of these notes.
(2) Liabilities a. Trade payables and Short-term loans and Current portion of bonds with subscription rights to
shares Since these items are settled within short periods of time and the book value is close to fair
value, they are presented at book value. b. Bonds with subscription rights to shares and Long-term loans These fair values are calculated using the discount rate that would apply if the full amount of the
principal were newly borrowed. Long-term borrowings at fl oating rates are subject to special treatment as interest-rate swaps, with the total amount of principal being treated together with the related interest-rate swap, and the value is calculated as the present value, of the same kind of borrowing, using a discount rate determined by reasonable estimation methods.
(3) Derivative transactions Please refer to “18. Derivative Financial Instruments.”

1st subscription rights to shares
Scope and number of people eligible 1. Directors excluding outside directors: 9 persons for the award of stock options 2. Executive officers: 23 personsNumber of stock options awarded by type of stock Common stock: 1,223,000 shares (Note 1)Granted date November 5, 2009Vesting conditions (Note 3)Vesting period No relevant service period has been established.Exercise period From July 1, 2011 to November 5, 2024
Notes: 1. Options are presented after conversion to the number of shares.2. Those awarded share options may exercise those options only while serving as directors or executive offi cers of the Company
and during a period of fi ve years after retiring from those positions. 3. When the Company’s consolidated return on equity (ROE; the “attained performance”) is less than 8.0% (the “target perfor-
mance”) as of the fi nal fi scal year-end within a two-year period (the “fi nal fi scal year”), those awarded share options may only exercise share option rights for a number of shares calculated by multiplying the number of share options rights by the vesting ratio (a fi gure with a lower limit of 0.5 calculated by dividing the attained performance by the target performance).
4. When those awarded share options are those newly appointed as directors or executive offi cers after July 1, 2009, or when those awarded share options retire from their positions as directors or executive offi cers before the fi nal day of the fi nal fi scal year, the number of share option rights they may exercise is calculated by multiplying the adjusted fi gure described in Note 2 above by a tenure period ratio (a fi gure representing the ratio of days of tenure to the number of days in the period from April 1, 2009, through March 31, 2011).
5. When the calculations described in notes 3 and 4 above result in numbers of exercisable share options rights including a frac-tion of a right (a fi gure less than one), this fractional right is to be discarded.
6. When those who were awarded share options are recognized to have executed their offi cial duties in an illegal or improper man-ner during their tenure, it is possible for the Company to restrict the number of share option rights that the people in question may exercise based on a decision by the Board of Directors. In such cases, the people awarded share options in question may not exercise a number of share options in excess of the restricted number.
7. When those awarded share options die, the heirs of those people may exercise the share options until a date three months after the day following the date of death or until a date six months after the last day of the fi nal fi scal year, whichever is later.
8. In addition to the provisos described in each of the previous notes, the exercise of share options is to be undertaken in accor-dance with the conditions stipulated in “share option award contracts” concluded between the Company and those awarded share options.

(2) Movement of stock options and status of related changes With respect to stock options existing during the consolidated fi scal year ended March 31,
2012, the relevant numbers of stock options and numbers of shares issuable on the conversion of stock options are as follows.

3. Method of Estimating the Fair Value of Stock Options Regarding 3rd subscription rights to shares issued during the consolidated fi scal year under
review, the method of estimating the fair value of the share options is as follows.
a. Evaluation Method Used: Black-Scholes Method
b. Main Basic Parameters and Evaluation Methods
3rd subscription rights to shares
Expected volatility (Note 1) 38.62%Expected holding period (Note 2) 9.0 yearsExpected dividend (Note 3) ¥5.55 per shareRisk-free rate (Note 4) 0.8410%
Notes: 1. Expected volatility is calculated based on actual stock prices during the preceding seven years (from September 27, 2002, through September 26, 2011).
2. Because suffi cient data has not yet been accumulated and a rational estimate is diffi cult, estimates were performed based on an assumption that share options are exercised at the midpoint of the period in which the options may be exercised.
3. The expected dividend is a simple average value calculated based on actual dividends during the most recent seven fi scal years.
4. The risk-free rate corresponds to the interest rate (compounded) on Japanese government bonds with remaining periods to maturity of approximately seven years as of September 26, 2011.
4. Method of Estimating the Number of Vested Stock Option Rights Fundamentally, because rationally estimating the number of rights invalidated in the future
is diffi cult, the method used is to refl ect only the number of rights that are actually invalidated.

Independent Auditor’s Report
The Board of Directors
EBARA CORPORATION
We have audited the accompanying consolidated fi nancial statements of EBARA CORPORATION and its consolidated subsid-
iaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at March 31, 2012, and the consolidated statements of income, com-
prehensive income, changes in net assets, and cash fl ows for the year then ended and a summary of signifi cant accounting
policies and other explanatory information, all expressed in Japanese yen.
Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated fi nancial statements in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, and for designing and operating such internal control as management
determines is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated fi nancial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated fi nancial statements based on our audit. We conducted our
audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated fi nancial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated
fi nancial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the consolidated fi nancial statements, whether due to fraud or error. The purpose of an audit of the
consolidated fi nancial statements is not to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control, but in making
these risk assessments the auditor considers internal controls relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the
consolidated fi nancial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated fi nancial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suffi cient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated fi nancial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
fi nancial position of EBARA CORPORATION and consolidated subsidiaries as at March 31, 2012, and their consolidated fi nan-
cial performance and cash fl ows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan.
Convenience Translation
We have reviewed the translation of these consolidated fi nancial statements into U.S. dollars, presented for the convenience of
readers, and, in our opinion, the accompanying consolidated fi nancial statements have been properly translated on the basis
described in Note 5.
