II. Status of Business
1. Management Policy, Management Environment and Tasks to be Addressed
Management policy, management environment and tasks to be addressed of our corporate Group are as
follows.
Note that matters stated concerning the future in the text are based on judgments made by our Group asof the end of the current consolidated fiscal year.
Our corporate Group, ever since its initiation, have been working on technological innovations andproduct development to build up unique technologies that integrate the “weaving, coating and molding”
elements of its expertise while consistently fulfilling users’ needs, thereby increasing its corporate value.
Along with the globalization of markets and the rapid diversification of needs, we will strive to further
differentiate technologies as well as improve quality and productivity, thereby creating corporate value.
(1) Basic Policies of Corporate Management
Grounded in the motto “Create, Innovate and Challenge”, our Group makes it its management policy to:(i) create new values and enhance customer satisfaction;(ii) anticipate customer needs and create a new business with creative technology;(iii) improve quality and productivity, and strengthen business quality; and(iv) contribute to solving the social and environmental issues, and realize the sustainable growth.
Under such management policy, we aim to create corporate value and, along with the improvement of capitalefficiency and contribution to society, enhance shareholder value of the Company by means of enhancing customer
satisfaction, developing differentiated products with our unique technology and improving profitability throughthorough cost reduction.

(2) Mid- to Long-Term Management Strategies
Our corporate group aims to work on technological innovation and product development while consistently
fulfilling users’ needs and realize its sound survival and sustainable growth, thereby increasing its mid- to longterm corporate value. Specifically, to maintain and expand the revenue base of existing businesses, we implement
strategic investments in a new business that maximizes the synergy effect with existing businesses and has a highprofitability of capital besides improving and expanding productivity and investing in the development of new
products that anticipate user’s needs. We also select themes that have impacts on society and environment and aim
to address issues of the themes through business. Specifically, we place the following as important issues and areworking on them, i.e. (i) contribution to a decarbonized society (achieving carbon neutrality, promotion of energy
saving and resource saving, substituting with renewable energy, provision of environmental load reduction
materials), (ii) development of diverse human resources and enhancement of descent work (development of nextgeneration human resources, a company where all employees work actively), (iii) promotion of a circular economy(reduction of emissions and establishment of a sustainable supply chain), and (iv) enhancement of governance.
Particularly, we publicized “Initiatives on Climate Change (Disclosure in accordance with the framework of TCFD
recommendations)” on our website because we especially recognize climate change as a pressing issue.
- In the electronic materials segment, we aim at the development of new products and the expansion ofbusinesses, centering on mobile devices, semiconductors and in-vehicle devices. We also deepen partnerships
with our group companies and work to strengthen our base of operations in Asian market.
- In the industrial application structural materials segment and electrical insulating materials segment, wedevelop unique products focusing on transportation infrastructure, water treatment and new energy fields, witha view to further growth.
- In the display materials segment, we work to further expand sales of new products utilizing our unique
technology primarily in the fields of high-definition displays for medical use.
- We improve capital efficiency by making effective use of cash-flow, promoting change from non-businessassets to business assets and implementing aggressive shareholder return.
The Group formulated the medium-term management plan that incorporates the above-mentioned contents. We
aim to achieve ROIC of 6% or more for the fiscal year ending on the 77th term (March 31, 2025).

(3) Business and Financial Tasks to be Preferentially Addressed
Our Group promotes the following as the tasks to be addressed in order to ensure accelerated and thoroughimplementation of the aforesaid management strategies.
- 11 -

- Development of differentiated products with unique technology, improvement of profitability in existing
businesses, and entry into fields where growth is expected- Thorough cost reduction by means of improving management techniques and proprietary technologies in orderto realize more competitive cost structure- Promotion of enhanced cooperation among the manufacturing, sales and technical divisions in pursuit of more
efficient business operations- Development of new use and fields by strengthening cooperation with our group companies
With regards to the impact of COVID-19, while we expect the demand recovery for the industrial application
structural materials segment that deals with the materials for aircrafts due to rebound in demand for them by theeasing of movement restrictions, we expect that inventory adjustment will continue for a while but demand will
recover in the mainstay electronic materials segment from the second half of the fiscal year. Our corporate group
has an adequate liquid fund, but the impact may be greater than we expect if an infection-related situation worsens.
We will implement each of the above measures in the medium-term management plan while paying close attention
to market conditions and ensure our sound survival and sustainable growth.

(4) Objective Indicators, etc. for Judgement on the Status of Achievement of Managerial Goals
The Group sets ROIC as a target management indicator and aims at ROIC of 6% or more for the fiscal year
ending on March 31, 2025 in the medium-term management plan for October, 2020.
The results for the fiscal year ending on March 31, 2023 were 2.8%.

(5) Climate Change Initiatives
Effects from climate change such as recent increase and increased severity of extreme weather events are
becoming serious globally. The Group as a manufacturer that produces products from chemicals recognizes a
climate change issue facing us as one of important business challenges.
The Group has been so far actively involved in environmental protection activities and consistently improved
them by promoting the reduction, etc. of electricity and gas consumption, hazardous chemical substance, andindustrial waste in accordance with our Environmental Policy, as the Environmental Protection and Management
Committee deliberates on the activities. We publicized “Carbon Neutral Initiatives” on our website on June, 2021
with the aim to continuously contribute to a decarbonized society through business as mentioned in “(2) Mid- toLong-Term Management Strategies” above. As part of our initiatives on environmental issues, we proceeded withanalysis and examination targeting at our main businesses in accordance with the framework of TCFD (Task Forceon Climate-related Financial Disclosures) recommendations and disclosed the result on our website, based on ourbelief that the recommendations will contribute to the development of a decarbonized and sustainable society.

2. Views and Initiatives on Sustainability
Our views and initiatives on sustainability are as follows.
Note that matters stated concerning the future in the text are based on judgments made by our Group as of the endof the current consolidated fiscal year.
Under the management policy to “contribute to solving the social and environmental issues and realize thesustainable growth”, we understand that engaging proactively with the social and environmental issues is an essentialcondition for the existence and activities of companies. We also recognize that (i) Contribution to a decarbonizedsociety, (ii) Development of diverse human resources and enhancement of descent work, (iii) Promotion of a circular
economy, and (iv) Enhancement of governance are key issues (materiality), and set KGI including theaccomplishment of carbon neutrality by FY2030 (Scope1 and 2) and set forth them in the medium-term management
plan, working on the resolution of climate change issues and human capital management. As part of this effort, we
expressed our support to “Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)” in June, 2022.

Organization with high ethical standards
Organizational structure having good communication channels(1) GovernanceWe established the ESG Committee in December 2021 in order to take the lead in addressing climate change
issues. At the committee, directors and senior managing operating officers serve as chairpersons, and operating
officers and general managers of each division serve as members, promoting the initiatives.
(Our ESG Policy: In all aspects of our business activities, Arisawa promotes environmental conservation andcontributes to solving social and environmental issues, aiming to achieve sustainable growth.)
The ESG Committee deliberates four times a year on themes such as responding to climate change, realizing adecarbonized society, respecting for human rights, considering for working environment, and having fair andappropriate transactions with business partners, in addition to enlightening and promoting sustainability-conscious
management. The Procurement Subcommittee establishes the CSR procurement policies based on supply chain
management and promotes CSR activities together with suppliers. We established the Human Capital
Subcommittee on March, 2023 for the purpose of linking management strategies with human resources strategies
based on our belief that human capital management contributes to increasing corporate value, and the
Subcommittee has discussions every month for developing human resources strategies. In addition, theEnvironmental Protection and Management Committee, the Carbon Neutrality Project, and the Emission
Subcommittee, which work in cooperation with the ESG Committee, deliberate on the progress of environmental
conservation activities in order to strive for continuous improvement.
Important matters to be deliberated and the status of the activities, etc. are regularly reported by each committee
to the Board of Operating Officers, the Management Committee and the Board of Directors, and the Board of
Directors makes the final decision.
The Board of Directors checks the progress of the publicized medium-term management plan and discusses
issues and the implementation of countermeasures based on periodic reports, and the results are reflected inmanagement strategies and risk management and evaluation. The Board of Directors supervises proposals related
to climate change (target setting, progress of initiatives, etc.).

(2) Strategy
We have set the key issues (materiality) in the medium-term management plan. To achieve those, we establishedthe ESG Committee and the Environmental Protection and Management Committee and the Subcommittees and- 13 -

project team as their subordinate organizations, and those groups develop activity goals with each department foreach fiscal year and are promoting the efforts.
With regard to a strategy on climate-related risks and opportunities, upon scenario analysis, the ESG Committee
identifies significant risks and opportunities related to climate change and assesses the amount of financial impacts
that those might have.
The scenario analysis we conducted this time analyzed and examined the effects as of 2030 by using two
scenarios, the 4°C scenario and the 1.5°C scenario, targeting at our whole supply chain from purchase,development, production to sales of products and services.
i) The risks and opportunities presented by climate change
We believe that it is important to contribute to movements for limiting temperature increase because global
warming due to climate change has a huge impact on society.
We also believe that climate change is likely to cause risks such as damage to us and our supply chain due toflood damage of typhoon, heavy rain, etc. and the increase of expenses such as the introduction of carbon taxes,
credit purchase, the replacement of facilities, the purchase of renewable energy, etc. associated with thetightening of regulations.
On the other hand, we see the provision of products accommodating the increased environmental awarenessof customers as an opportunity for our business. In particular, not only do we respond to climate change by
supplying materials for FCV and EV, solar power generation, seawater desalination treatment, aircraft (weight
reduction), and a decarbonized new energy development project, but we also contribute to the improvement ofliving environment by supplying materials for automated driving assist, medical devices, etc.
(Risks)- 14 -

(Opportunities)ii) Initiatives on human capital management

With regard to the human resources development, our basic policy is to realize diversity and ensure equal
opportunity. We adhere to meritocracy regardless of age, gender, or career in recruiting and promoting, and haveintroduced a system to encourage the growth of employees through multidimensional evaluation and feedback.
We also aim to enhance job satisfaction for each and every employees and improve organizational power by
striving to provide stratified education, self-development, and opportunities for a variety of experiences througha wide range of education and training inside and outside of the Company. Specifically, we are working on thedevelopment of human resources that think and act by themselves through communication, thoroughimplementation of meritocracy, promotion of delegation of authority, development of future leader candidates,and promotion of active participation of women and increase of male employees taking childcare leave. We also
evaluate and treat our employees in accordance with their ability and achievement without regard to any
differences of gender, nationality, education, time of joining the Company, etc. in each level of recruitment, job
assignment, and promotion in order to ensure diversity and promote the active participation of women andforeigners. As a result, 70.5% of managerial positions are occupied by mid-career employees (42.3% for theCompany). In addition, we promote the balance between work and personal life, and there is no difference in the
average length of service between male and female employees.

(3) Risk Management
We recognize that climate change-related risks are important management issues. Therefore, the ESG
Committee identifies and assesses the climate change-related risks, and reports to the Board of Operating Officers
and the Board of Directors, thereby defining key issues. We improve our risk management system by managing
these risks.
As for assessing the climate change-related risks, upon identifying climate change factors in businesses, weunderstand changes such as future regulations, societal, technological and climate conditions, etc. for each 1.5°C
and 4°C scenarios.
We have also considered responding to the changes of external environments associated with environmental
issues and contributing to international sustainable development goals, or SDGs. As a result, we have identified
four items as key issues (materiality) to be addressed in the medium-term management plan, i.e. “Contribution toa decarbonized society”, “Development of diverse human resources and enhancement of descent work”,“Promotion of a circular economy”, and “Enhancement of governance”. We will address the issues for theirresolution as a whole company.
As for identifying materiality, the ESG Committee narrowed down to four items from a perspective of- 15 -

materiality to a sustainable society and our business, and the items were approved by the Board of Directors.

(4) Metrics and Goalsi) Climate change
We have implemented various measures to improve energy use efficiency. From now on, we will not only
expand the deployment of the measures, but also aim to achieve carbon neutrality in FY2030 (compared to CO₂emissions in FY2020)* in terms of direct emissions (Scope1) and indirect emissions (Scope2) by using renewableenergy and purchasing carbon neutral gas as well as promoting the development of low-carbon products.
(Plan for achieving carbon neutrality)ii) Human capitalWith respect to the ratio of female employees in managerial positions, we will actively recruit and nurture
candidates for the positions in the medium- and long-term to increase the ratio from 12.5% at the end of March,2022 to around 20% at the end of March, 2025. The first female director was appointed on June, 2022, and two of
the directors are female as of June, 2023. In addition, the first female operating officer was appointed on June,
2022 through internal promotion. We will continue to work on a variety of initiatives, such as providing
opportunities for development and realization of ability, which respect employees’ personality, and to recruit
diverse employees and develop their ability.

method) in the consolidated fiscal year is as follows.
i) Financial Position and Operating Results
As for the Japanese economy in the current consolidated fiscal year, the economic activity was normalizing
due to the relaxation of restrictions on activities from COVID-19 infections, etc. On the other hand, the future
prospects still remain uncertain due to the persistent high energy and raw material prices caused by the prolonged
situation in Ukraine, the rise in prices caused by global inflation in addition to a decrease in demand in the Chinese
market. In particular, as for electronic materials, which is a main business field of our Company Group, inventory
adjustments have continued since the second half of the fiscal year due to sluggish demand for personal computers,
mobile devices, etc. Under such circumstances, the business results of our Group (the Company, its consolidated
subsidiaries and the companies accounted for under the equity method) for the current consolidated fiscal year
showed net sales of 42,722 million yen (representing a 0.9% decrease as compared with the previous consolidated
fiscal year) due to a decrease in sales of electronic materials despite an increase in sales of industrial application
structural materials and display materials. Operating profit was 2,228 million yen (representing a 32.9% decrease
as compared with the previous consolidated fiscal year) due to soaring energy costs and raw material prices.
Ordinary profit remained 2,717 million yen (representing a 35.4% decrease as compared with the previous
consolidated fiscal year) due to a decrease in the operating profit and a contraction in foreign exchange gains. On
the other hand, profit attributable to owners of parent was 2,856 million yen (representing a 27.0% decrease ascompared with the previous consolidated fiscal year) due to an increase in gain on sale of investment securities,
etc.
Business results with respect to each segment are as follows.

The matters regarding future in the following sentences were judged as of end of the current consolidated fiscal
year.
i) Details of Perception, Analysis and Study regarding Financial Position and Conditions of Operating Results
In the current consolidated fiscal year, we worked for the continuous growth of existing businesses by making
the capital expenditures for improvement and expansion of production capacity mainly related to our mainstay
electronic materials. At the same time, we continued an aggressive effort for the market expansion and thegrowth of our Group by developing new products that anticipated changes in markets in each segment.
Electronic materials, the core products of our Group, resulted in orders lower than the previous year due toinventory adjustment despite our effort (including our subsidiary, “ThinFlex Corporation”) to increase them for
multifunctional mobile devices. Regarding industrial application structural materials, electrical insulating
materials, and display materials, we look forward to further growth and we will continue to develop new
products and to increase profitability.

2. Total market capitalization is calculated by multiplying the number of shares issued and outstanding at the end of theperiod (excluding treasury shares) by the closing price per share at the end of the period.
3. Interest-bearing liabilities represent all those liabilities (stated in the consolidated balance sheets) on which interest ispaid.
4. For operating cash flows, the amount of “Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities” stated in the consolidated
statements of cash flows is used. For the interest paid, the amount of “Interest expenses paid” stated in the consolidated
statements of cash flows is used.
1) Financial resources for capital and liquidity of funds

Our Group makes it our basic policy to stably secure the liquidity of funds and the resources of capital requiredfor business operations. Though we basically use our own capital for short-term working capital, we hold acontract for overdraft agreements with main financing banks so as to procure temporary working capitalefficiently in time of insufficiency. Regarding the capital relating to capital formation such as business
investments, we basically procure our own capital and long-term borrowings from financial institutions in view offinancing cost and risk diversification. Additionally, for the purpose of efficient fund management, reducing offinancial risk and saving of interest expenses, our Group started “Group Finance”.
2) Objective Indicators etc. for Judgement on the Status of Achievement of Management Policy, Management
Strategies and Managerial goals
Our Group’s managerial and financial goals are described in II. Status of Business 1. Management Policy,
Management Environment and Tasks to be Addressed.
iii) Significant Accounting Estimates and Assumptions Used in Making Such Estimates
The consolidated financial statements of our Group are made based upon the corporate accounting standards
which are generally accepted in Japan. In preparing this consolidated financial statements, the management are
required to estimate for accounting. With respect to such estimates, the management comprehensively considers
and reasonably judges past results, present circumstances, etc.; nevertheless, actual results may become different
from the said estimates due to uncertainty peculiar to estimating.
The critical accounting policies adopted for the preparation of financial statements are described in“Important Matters Underlying Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements” of “V. Status of Accounting:
1. Consolidated Financial Statements, etc. (1) Consolidated Financial Statements Notes”, among which thefollowing critical accounting policies are considered to have a profound effect on the important judging andestimating in course of preparing consolidated financial statements.
1) Allowance for doubtful accounts
In our Group, as a reserve for potential loan losses, an estimated uncollectible amount is recorded based on
the historical loan-loss ratio in the case of general accounts receivable, and in light of the collectability in each
instance in the case of some specific accounts receivable, e.g. doubtful receivables. When a financial condition- 22 -

of customers gets worse and their solvency declines, an additional allowance may need recording.
2) Assessment of recoverability of deferred tax assets
When applying tax effect accounting, our Group reasonably estimates recoverability of deferred tax assets
and records such assets after deduction of valuation allowance. Recoverability of deferred tax assets depends on
the possibility of future untaxable depreciation of taxable items and on the future taxable income estimated on
the basis of future profitability; therefore, if such estimated amount vary, a profit may fluctuate due to reversal
or additional recording of the deferred tax assets.
3) Impairment of securities and investment securities
Our Group holds securities and investment securities; we use, as valuation methods, the market method on
securities other than stocks and others without a quoted market price and use the cost method on securities
without a quoted market price. We conduct treatments for impairment on our owned securities according toreasonable standards, because we bear the risk of price fluctuation in the stock market (if such securities have aquoted market price) and investees' business results etc. may worsen (if such securities have no quoted market
price).
Our Group has conducted necessary treatments for impairment on securities and investment securities.
Additionally, if any loss which is not reflected on the current book value occurs or any book value becomes
uncollectible due to deteriorating market conditions, worsening business results of investees, etc. in the future,
further treatments for impairment may be required according to the said standards.
4) Impairment of non-current assets
Our Group applies Accounting Standard for Impairment of Fixed Assets, and is grouping non-current assets
on the basis of business unit which generates cash flow independently. When the recoverable amount of anasset group falls below book amount, such different amount is perceived as an impairment loss. When therecoverable amount of an asset group further goes down in the future, further recording of an impairment loss
may be required.
This application shows an impairment loss of 19,332 thousand yen as extraordinary losses in manufacturing
facilities of the submitting company in the current consolidated fiscal year.
5) Valuation of inventories
Our Group reduces the book value of inventories when their net selling price falls below its book value. In
addition, when inventories are recognized to be slow-moving more than a certain period of time, we assume that
their realizability of sales is declining and promptly amortize them with a book value reduction method on aregular basis, depending on the elapse of the time. Furthermore, we individually reduce their book value whensales are recognized to be difficult. The net selling price may have a serious impact on loss on valuation of
inventories depending on future changes of market environment and differences in sales forecasts because it isevaluated based on sales results, etc.

6. Research and Development Activities
Major research and development activities of our Group are conducted by the Submitting Company as well as
ThinFlex Corporation, Satosen Co., Ltd. Protec Arisawa Europe, S.A., Protec Arisawa America, Inc. and ColorLink
Japan, Ltd., consolidated subsidiaries of the Submitting Company, and these companies are also disseminating
technologies to other consolidated subsidiaries.
As a technology-oriented corporate group, we adopt a flexible organization as a basis for our research anddevelopment activities in order to match the increasingly diversified and sophisticated needs of the users. Centering on
our core business fields, i.e. the electronic materials field, the industrial structural materials field, the electricalinsulating material field and the display materials field, we vigorously pursue research and development of newtechnologies and new products, aiming at launching new products to the market, nurturing of next generation products,
forward-looking promotion of technologies and expansion of fundamental technologies.
Examples of electronic materials include materials for FPCs (flexible printed circuit boards), glass cloth for printed
circuit boards and prepregs for special printed circuit boards, etc. Examples of industrial structural materials include
in-car materials, materials for use in water treatment equipment, materials for aircraft interiors. Examples of electricalinsulating materials include prepregs for use in electrical insulating and various molded products, etc. Examples ofdisplay materials include 3D-filters, optical molded products, etc.
As of the end of the current consolidated fiscal year, we had 171 employees involved in research and development
activities, and our total research and development expenses incurred in the current consolidated fiscal year amounted
to 1,991 million yen.
Research and development achievements and the amount of research and development expenses incurred withrespect to each field during the current consolidated fiscal year are as follows.
(1) Electronic Materials Field- Materials for flexible printed circuit boards
As electronic devices typified by smart phones are becoming more advanced and sophisticated, miniaturization iscausing the densification of electronic circuits. We developed and started selling flexible copper-clad boards using a
new copper foil being excellent at forming fine circuit. A process that removes an unnecessary part of material from acopper foil and forms a circuit (subtractive process) is applied to the copper-clad boards. However, the subtractive
process is close to a limit for more fining, and a substitute process that forms a copper circuit by electroplating (semiadditive process) is thought to be more effective. We are proceeding with the research and development of materials
for circuits suitable for the semi-additive process, and the evaluation by our customers has begun.
- Heat dissipation materials
As IC (integrated circuit) power modules which are used for a wide range of applications from home electricalappliances to vehicles are becoming more miniaturized and energy-saving, high heat dissipating adhesive sheets arenecessary to dissipate heat generated by IC effectively. We have a line-up of various adhesive sheets whose heatdissipation property is from 1 to 10W/mK, and those are available for sale to customers. We have been developing a
15W/mK product, which is an industry-leading level, since last year, and the evaluation of the product by ourcustomers is going well for which we will acquire certification soon. We have already started to develop the nextgeneration materials with the properties of 20W/mK, looking into the future.
- Installation of an experimental small coating machine
An experimental small coating machine is operating from August 2023. We have used mass production machines to
produce and evaluate prototypes in developing electronic materials, and there is a problem with the machines, which isthat they are large so that it takes time and is costly to prepare materials for them. With the machine, we can solve theproblem and shorten development time.
In addition, we will use the machine effectively to promote open innovation and work actively on joint development
projects and new OEM projects.
Research and development expenses incurred with respect to electronic materials amounted to 1,249 million yen.

(2) Industrial Application Structural Materials Field and Electrical Insulating Materials Field- Water treatment FRP pressure vessels
Our FRP pressure vessels are widely used for water treatment to desalinize seawater. Recently there is a growing
demand for Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) system to minimize (or reduce to zero) general waste water and industrial
liquid waste for environmental protection. High-pressure treatment is needed to treat concentrated wastewater forrecovering and recycling wastewater in a variety of ways, thereby discharging no liquid effluent, and there is a
growing need to make vessels high-pressure. The Company and our consolidated subsidiaries, Protec Arisawa Europe,
S.A. and Protec Arisawa America, Inc., are in the process of designing and developing 1,800psi high pressure vessels
and proceeding with the acquisition of ASME, and will start to provide the samples to our customers from 2023.
- Fuel cell
We started to mass-produce metallic separator material for in-vehicle fuel cell from 2020 toward the realization of ahydrogen energy society. Utilizing one of our feature technologies, “Coating”, the improvement of press workability isrecognized by coating lubricant on the surface of metal foil thinly and uniformly. We newly developed anenvironmental load reducing lubricant, which receives a good evaluation from our customers. We will proceed with thedevelopment of lubricant which can be adapted to a variety of materials, and further expand the use applications.
Moreover, we are developing resin separator as an alternative to metallic separator, and its customer evaluation isunderway for putting it to the market from 2025.
Research and development expenses incurred with respect to composite materials amounted to 447 million yen.
(3) Display Materials Field- Medical 3D display materials
The 3D display systems incorporating the Company’s “Xpol®” are being adopted in the medical field because of
their high reliability and 3D performance. There is a need for increasing the size of a high-quality 4K resolution
display from the mainstay 32-inch to the over 40-inch due to the diversification of operating rooms. We havecompleted developing the display and started to provide the samples to our customers. We plan to put it to the market
from 2024 and three-dimensionalization is expected to accelerate in endoscopic surgery.
- Next-generation display materials
We developed a functional adhesive film used for display-related parts with our own resin compounding andlaminating technique, and it has been decided to adopt it for LED backlight. We plan to put it to the market in the fallof 2023.
Research and development expenses incurred with respect to display materials amounted to 269 million yen.

(8) Director and Employee Stock Ownership Plan
(Remuneration plan for granting restricted stock to Directors)
1) Outline of the system
At the Board of Directors’ Meeting held on May 27, 2021, the Company revised the remuneration system for
the Company’s Directors except Outside Directors (hereinafter referred to as “eligible Directors”), passed a
resolution to introduce the restricted stock compensation system (hereinafter referred to as “this system”), which
was approved and passed at the 73rd Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on June 25, 2021. The
purpose of the system is to provide incentive to eligible Directors to sustainably increase corporate value of theCompany and promote further sharing of value with its shareholders.
2) Total number of restricted stock, etc. issued or disposed of to eligible Directors
Given the above purpose, the aggregate amount of remuneration provided to eligible Directors to grant
restricted stock shall be no more than 50 million per year as an amount considered to be reasonable. The total
number of common shares that the Company issues or disposes of shall be no more than 50,000 shares per year
- 36 -

(however, if a share split (including gratis allotment of the Company’s common shares) or share consolidation of
the Company’s common shares is performed effective on any date after the date of a resolution at the 73rd
Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on June 25, 2021, the total number shall be adjusted within areasonable range as necessary depending on a ratio of split and consolidation after such effective date).
Eligible Directors shall pay all monetary claims provided from the Company based on this system ascontributed properties in kind and receive issuance or disposal of the Company’s common shares.
The payment amount per share shall be determined by the Board of Directors based on the closing price of theCompany’s common shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on the business day preceding to the day of eachresolution of the Board of Directors (if no transaction is made on that day, the closing price on the trading day
immediately before that day) within the scope that is not particularly favorable to an eligible Director who
receives the common shares. The specific timing of provision and allocation to each eligible Director shall be
determined by the Board of Directors following consultations with the Assignment and Remuneration Advisory
Committee.
3) Scope of persons eligible for beneficiary and other rights in this system
Directors of the Company (excluding Outside Directors)(Employee Stock Ownership Plan)
1) Outline of the system
At the Board of Directors’ Meeting held on July 29, 2021, it was resolved to introduce an employee incentive plan (Employee
Stock Ownership Plan) with the aim to increase corporate value of the Company in the mid- to long-term by expanding benefits
to the employees of the Company (“employees”), developing their sense of belonging, giving a sense of participation in
management to them, and raising awareness of the business results and rising share value of the Company.
The plan is an incentive plan which, with funds the Company contributes, sets up a trust (“Trust”) that acquires theCompany’s common stock (“the Company’s Stock”) and which issues the Company’s Stock based on points awarded to
employees who satisfy certain requirements. Such points are awarded in accordance with employees’ positions, etc. under thestock benefit regulations set forth by the Board of Directors, and the number of the Company’s stock issued to each employee isdetermined depending on the number of the points awarded.
There is no employees' burden because the Company contributes all the funds to acquire the Company’s Stock under the
Trust.
The introduction of the plan can be expected to encourage the job performance of employees who are aware of share value
and increase their will to work because it allows employees to enjoy the economic benefits from the rising share value of theCompany’s Stock.

3. Dividend Policy
The Company will proactively return its funds earned during the period to shareholders as well as invest them inthe maintenance and expansion of its revenue base for existing businesses and the development of new use
applications. Specifically, the Company makes it a basic policy a total return ratio of 80% or more for performancelinked dividend and will respond flexibly to an acquisition of treasury shares in total consideration of demand offunds, financial conditions, etc.
With respect to the frequency of dividend payments, the Company specifies in its articles of incorporation that
the Company can effect interim dividend payments. Currently, however, in view of the tendency for the net sales,
etc. for the first half of fiscal year to be higher than those for the second half in the ratio to the annual result, theCompany pays a year-end dividend once a year in order to ensure equitable distribution of dividends in light ofbusiness results.
Decisions with respect to dividends from surplus are made at a general meeting of shareholders for the year-end
dividend and by the Board of Directors for the interim dividend.
As for the annual dividend for the current business year, the Company decided to pay 90 yen per share based on
the said policy. As a result, the dividend payout ratio for the current consolidated fiscal year was 104.1%.
The Company paid year-end dividends from surplus once a year, but from now on, we will pay interim dividends
with the aim of increasing an opportunity to return profits, and hence our basic policy will be to pay dividends twicea year as interim dividends and year-end dividends.
The distribution of dividends from surplus for the current business year is as follows.

The Company has established the Assignment and Remuneration Advisory Committee where an independent
Outside Director is a chairperson and the majority of the committee members are independent Outside Directors
as an advisory body to the Board of Directors in order to improve the independence, objectivity and transparencyof the procedures for determining the nomination and remuneration of Directors and to enhance corporate
governance. The policy for determining the details of individual remuneration for Directors is determined at theBoard of Directors based on deliberations and reports by the Assignment and Remuneration Advisory Committee.
Summary of the Policy of Determination on Amount of Remuneration, etc. is as follows.
a. Basic Guidelines for Remuneration System for Directors
・ The system should encourage the management to improve their performance through associating theperformance with remuneration and to exercise their solid entrepreneurship for sustainable development of
the Company.
・The system should reflect not only financial performance but also appreciation for proactive initiative basedon the management philosophy of "CIC Better today than yesterday, better tomorrow than today" with thebasic spirit of “Creation, Innovation and Challenge”.
・The system should attract excellent human resources for management who can contribute to sustainable
development and enhancement of corporate value of the Company.
Based on the basic policy, the system should be remuneration structure that is linked to shareholder interest so- 53 -

as to fully function as an incentive for sustainable enhancement of the corporate value of the Company and thatis at a reasonable level on the basis of their duties in determining remuneration of each directors. Specifically,
the remuneration for executive directors is constituted of basic remuneration as fixed remuneration,
performance-based remuneration and stock-based compensation (restricted stock-based compensation), andOutside Directors who assume a role of supervisory function should be paid only basic remuneration inconsideration of their duty.
b. Remuneration Structure
Under the policy above, the remuneration structure for Executive Directors is constituted of basic remuneration
as fixed remuneration, performance-based remuneration linked to the previous year’s performance, etc., andstock-based compensation for the purpose of sharing interests with shareholders (restricted stock-based
compensation). The remuneration ratio by type of Executive Directors is as follows; basic remuneration:
performance-based remuneration: stock-based compensation = 5 : 3 : 2 (in the case of 100% achievement of
KPI). Outside Directors who assume a role of supervisory function is paid only basic remuneration inconsideration of their duty. Basic remuneration and performance-based remuneration reflecting the previous
year’s performance is divided and paid equally during the period of execution of duties and restricted stockbased compensation is paid yearly at fixed time.
2) Details, Reasons for Selection, and Performance and Calculation Method of Indicators (KPI) for PerformanceBased Remuneration
The Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for performance-based remuneration are consolidated operating profit
for the previous single fiscal year and such remuneration is divided and paid according to the degree ofachievement of target values. The reasons for selecting such Indictors is that they are a financial indicator which
represents the result of primary business activities of companies, use net operating profit less adjusted taxes(NOPLAT) to calculate ROIC which is a target figure to be achieved of the medium-term business plan, and areused in the bonus system for employees and important to keep consistency between the two systems. The actual
result for that was 3,320 million yen.
Out of amount of carbon dioxide emission reduction held up in our Carbon Neutral Project, the Company will
add goal attainment levels with respect to reduced usage resulted from improving energy use efficiency to the
Performance Indicators, and will reflect them in remuneration from July, 2023.
3) Details of Stock-Based Compensation (Non-Monetary Remuneration)
Stock-based compensation (non-monetary remuneration) shall be restricted stock-based compensation, and is
programmed to lift restrictions of transfer upon retirement for the purpose of building awareness of contribution
to sustainably increasing corporate value of the Company by clarifying the linkage between the Company’s
stock value and compensation and sharing returns and risks due to fluctuations in the value of stocks withshareholders. Furthermore, the Company issues to Executive Directors monetary compensation claim to grant
restricted stocks each year and each Executive Director pays all of such monetary claims as contributed
properties in kind and receives issuance or disposal of the Company’s common shares. The number of shares tobe allocated to each Executive Director corresponding to individually determined base amount is determined by
the Board of Directors based on the report of the Assignment and Remuneration Advisory Committee. The
payment amount per share shall be an amount not particularly favorable to the Eligible Directors based on theclosing price on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on the business day immediately preceding the date of the resolution
by the Board of Directors (if no transaction is made on that day, the closing price on the trading date immediately
before that day).
4) Matters Relating to Determining Details of Individual Remuneration, etc. for Directors
With respect to the details of individual remuneration for the Company’s Directors, etc., following
consultations with the Board of Directors, the Assignment and Remuneration Advisory Committee recommends
the amount of basic remuneration for each Director and the evaluation allocation based on the performance of adivision of which each Director is in charge in the performance-based remuneration. The Board of Directors
determines individual remuneration for the Company’s Directors, etc. pursuant to the report of the Assignment
and Remuneration Advisory Committee.
With regard to stock-based compensation, the Board of Directors determines the details of individual
remuneration such as the number of shares to be allocated, etc. based on the report of the Assignment andRemuneration Advisory Committee.

The Board of Directors has judged that the details of individual remuneration, etc. for the Company’s Directors
comply with the policy for determination, because the Assignment and Remuneration Advisory Committee
considers multilaterally the consistency between the details of the remuneration system for the Company’s
Directors and the policy for determination.

[Notes](Important Matters Underlying Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements)
1. Matters concerning scope of consolidation(1) Number of consolidated subsidiaries: eleven (11)Names of major consolidated subsidiaries:
ThinFlex Corporation, ThinFlex Technology Corporation (B.V.I.), TopFlex Corporation, Satosen Co., Ltd.,
Arisawa Fiber Glass Co., Ltd., Protec International Holdings Co., Ltd., Protec Arisawa Europe, S.A., Protec
Arisawa America, Inc., Arisawa Sogyo Co., Ltd., Arisawa Jushi Kogyo Co., Ltd., ColorLink Japan, Ltd.,(2) Names, etc. of major non-consolidated subsidiaries
Major non-consolidated subsidiaries:
Kashiwa Seiki Co., Ltd.
(Reasons for excluding the above-mentioned non-consolidated subsidiaries from the scope of consolidation)
The non-consolidated subsidiaries are small in size, and their aggregate total assets, net sales, profit or loss
(Amount corresponding to the Company’s equity interest) and retained earnings (Amount corresponding to theCompany’s equity interest), etc. do not materially affect the consolidated financial statements.
2. Matters concerning application of equity method(1) Number of affiliated companies accounted for under the equity method: one (1)Names of major affiliated companies:
Innovision FlexTech Corporation(2) As the non-consolidated subsidiaries (Kashiwa Seiki Co., Ltd.) and the affiliated companies (Ryoyu Industrial
Corporation and one (1) other company) to which the equity method is not applied have only slight effects on
the consolidated financial statements in terms of profit or loss (Amount corresponding to the Company’s equity
interest) and retained earnings (Amount corresponding to the Company’s equity interest), etc. (even if they are
excluded from the scope of application of the equity method) and also bear no significance as a whole, thesecompanies have been excluded from the scope of application of the equity method.
(3) With respect to those companies accounted for under the equity method whose closing dates differ from theconsolidated closing date, the financial statements for the relevant business year of each such company havebeen used.
3. Matters concerning business year, etc. of consolidated subsidiaries
The closing date of ThinFlex Corporation, TopFlex Corporation, ThinFlex Technology Corporation (B.V.I.),
Protec Arisawa Europe, S.A. and Protec Arisawa America, Inc., all of which are consolidated subsidiaries, is
December 31 of each year.
In preparation of consolidated financial statements, financial statements as of the said closing date are used;provided, however, that for the important transactions conducted in the period from January 1 to March 31 (i.e. theconsolidated closing date), the adjustments necessary for consolidation purposes have been made.
4. Matters concerning accounting policies(1) Valuation standards and valuation methods for important assets
1) Securities
Available-for-sale securities
Securities other than stocks and others without a quoted market price:
Stated at fair market value. (Valuation differences are reported as a component of net assets, and the costof securities sold is calculated using the average cost method.)
Stocks and others without a quoted market price:
Stated at average cost.
2) Derivative financial instruments
Stated at fair market value.
3) Inventories
Merchandise, finished goods, semi-finished goods and work in process:
The Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries primarily adopt the cost method on a first-in,
first-out basis (The amount shown on the balance sheets is calculated by writing inventories down due to a
decline in profitability.), and the overseas subsidiaries primarily adopt the lower-of-cost-or-market method
based on the moving average method.
Raw materials and supplies:- 71 -

The Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries primarily adopt the cost method based on the
periodic average method (The amount shown on the balance sheets is calculated by writing inventories
down due to a decline in profitability.), and the overseas subsidiaries primarily adopt the lower-of-cost-ormarket method based on the moving average method.
(2) Methods of depreciation and amortization of important depreciable assets
1) Property, plant and equipment (excluding lease assets)
The Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries adopt the declining-balance method, except for thebuildings (excluding accompanying facilities) acquired on or after April 1, 1998, and accompanying facilities
and structures acquired on or after April 1, 2016, which are depreciated using the straight-line method. The
overseas consolidated subsidiaries adopt the straight-line method.
The useful life mostly falls within the ranges shown below:
Buildings and structures: ten (10) years to thirty-one (31) years
Machinery, equipment and vehicles: four (4) years to nine (9) years
2) Intangible assets (excluding lease assets)
The straight-line method is adopted. Software used by the Company is amortized over an estimated in-houseusable period. (currently five (5) years)
In addition, technology-related assets are amortized over the economic useful life (8 years).
3) Lease assets
Lease assets related to finance lease transactions that entail transfer of title
Depreciation and amortization is based on the same method as applied to self-owned non-current assets.
Lease assets related to finance lease transactions that do not entail transfer of title
Depreciation and amortization is based on the straight-line method that takes the lease period as theuseful life and sets the residual value at zero (0).
(3) Standards for recording important allowances and provisions
1) Allowance for doubtful accounts
As a reserve for potential loan losses, an estimated uncollectible amount is allocated based on the historicalloan-loss ratio in the case of general accounts receivable, and in light of the collectibility in each instance in thecase of some specific accounts receivable, e.g. doubtful receivables.
2) Provision for bonuses
The Company and some of its consolidated subsidiaries, in preparation for the payment of bonuses to theirrespective employees, allocate such portion of the expected aggregate bonus amount that is recognizable in thecurrent consolidated fiscal year.
3) Provision for bonuses for directors (and other officers)
Some of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries, in preparation for the payment of bonuses to theirrespective directors and officers, make a relevant allocation based on the expected aggregate amount of suchbonus payment for the current consolidated fiscal year.
4) Provision for share awards
As a reserve for the Company’s stock benefit to employees under the stock benefit regulations, it isallocated based on the expected aggregate amount of share benefit obligation as of the end of the current
consolidated fiscal year.
5) Provision for product warranties
As a reserve for warranty expenses potentially incurred with respect to the products delivered to customers,
an amount reasonably expected to accrue in such expenses is estimated and appropriated.
(4) Accounting methods concerning retirement benefits
1) Method of inter-period attribution of expected retirement benefits
In calculating retirement benefit obligations, the benefit formula is employed as the method of attributing theestimated amount of each employee’s retirement benefits to his or her service period up to the end of the current
consolidated fiscal year.
2) Method of recognizing actuarial differences as expenses
Actuarial differences are recognized as expenses, effective from the consolidated fiscal year immediately
following the year of occurrence of each such difference, in an amount prorated using the straight-line method
over a certain number of years (currently five (5) years) within the average remaining service period of theemployees at the time of occurrence of the said difference in each consolidated fiscal year.
- 72 -

3) Adoption of simplified method by small-scale businesses, etc.
Some of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries employ, in calculating their respective net defined benefit
liabilities and retirement benefit expenses, a simplified method which deems the size of retirement benefit
obligations to be equal to the aggregate amount of retirement benefits payable assuming the voluntary
retirement of all employees at the end of the current period.
(5) Standards for recording important revenues and expenses
Notes on the standards for recording important revenues and expenses are omitted as the same details areshown in “Notes (For Revenue Recognition) 2. Basic Information for understanding revenue from contracts
with customers” of Consolidated Financial Statements.
(6) Standards for translating important foreign currency assets and liabilities into Japanese currency
Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated into Japanese yen at the spot exchange rate
as of the consolidated closing date, and the resulting translation differences are entered as profit or loss, as thecase may be. Assets and liabilities of overseas subsidiaries, etc. are translated into Japanese yen at the spot
exchange rate as of the consolidated closing date, and their respective incomes and expenses are translated into
Japanese yen at the average exchange rate during the period, with the resulting translation differences being
recorded as part of “Foreign currency translation adjustment” and “Non-controlling interests” in the “Netassets” section.
(7) Accounting method of significant hedge transactions
1) Method of hedge accounting
The Company adopts the deferred hedge accounting. With respect to the forward exchange contracts thatmeet the requirements of hedge accounting, we adopt the designated hedge accounting.
2) Hedging instruments and hedged items
Hedging instruments: Forward exchange contracts
Hedged items: Monetary claims denominated in foreign currencies, Anticipated transactions in foreign
currencies
3) Hedging policy
Forward foreign exchange transactions are conducted within the scope of actual demand for the purpose ofdeterring risks involved in transactions denominated in foreign currencies from the fluctuations in the foreignexchange market. These transactions will never be entered for speculative purpose.
4) Method of assessing hedge effectiveness
The Company assesses the effectiveness of hedging based on the ratio of changes that is calculated bycomparing the cumulative total of the market fluctuations of hedged items with that of hedging instruments.
However, when the forward foreign exchange transactions are by designated hedge accounting, suchassessment of effectiveness is omitted.
(8) Method and period of amortization of goodwill
Goodwill is amortized using the straight-line method over a five (5)-year period.
(9) Scope of funds in the consolidated statements of cash flows
The funds consist of cash on hand, demand deposits that are immediately withdrawable and short-term
investments with a maturity of three (3) months or less from the date of acquisition which are readily
convertible to cash and carry only a negligible risk of value fluctuations.
(10) Other important matters concerning preparation of consolidated financial statements

(Significant Accounting Estimates)
1. Valuation for Inventories(1) Amount recorded in the consolidated financial statements for the current consolidated fiscal year
Loss on valuation of inventory and inventory at the end of period related to aircraft materials are as follows:(Thousands of yen)Previous consolidated fiscal year

Current consolidated fiscal year

Loss on valuation of inventory

37,81929,906Merchandise and finished goods

292,638

517,604

Work in process

109,095

198,730(2) Other information that contributes to the understanding of users of financial statements
1) Calculation method
With regard to inventories that are slow-moving or to be disposed of because they have been cut off from theoperating cycle and for which it is difficult to measure the net selling price according to a reasonably estimatedprice, their carrying amount is written down in accordance with the holding period and demand trends.
2) Major assumptions
Demand related to aircraft materials rapidly declined due to the spread of COVID-19, but it is gradually
increasing due to the easing of movements restrictions, etc. For this reason, the valuation of such inventories is
estimated based on the expected future sales, and the major assumption is the expected sales volume. The
assumption of the expected sales volume takes into account the future prospects for the trends in aircraft-related
demand including the influence of international situation in Ukraine.
3) Effect on the consolidated financial statements for the next consolidated fiscal year
We assume the expected sales volume on the presumption that COVID-19 will be contained and demand foraircraft will gradually recover. However, the timing of the containment of COVID-19 and the impact on demand
trends are highly uncertain, and there is a risk that this will have a significant impact on the inventory valuation
decisions in the next consolidated fiscal year.

operating funds through bank loans. Our Group makes use of derivative transactions in order to avoid the risks
mentioned below and maintains a policy of eschewing speculative transactions.
(2) Description of financial instruments and risks associated with such financial instruments- 82 -

Notes and accounts receivable, a type of operating receivables, are exposed to customer credit risk, and foreign
currency operating receivables are also exposed to exchange rate fluctuation risk.
Securities and investment securities consist of those held primarily as pure investments and equity shares in
the Company’s business partners and are exposed to market price fluctuation risk.
Notes and accounts payable, a type of operating payables, are mostly due in approximately four (4) months.
The notes and accounts payable denominated in foreign currencies are exposed to exchange rate fluctuation risk.
Loans payable are primarily aimed at obtaining funds required for capital investment. They are fixed rate loans
and liabilities and therefore are not exposed to interest rate fluctuation risk.
Derivative transactions conducted by our Group are restricted to forward exchange contracts with the

Level 2 fair value: Fair values measured by inputs for fair value measurement other than those for Level 1 among inputs
for observable fair value measurement.

measurement
Securities and investment securities
Listed stocks, bonds and others are evaluated with quoted market prices. As the listed stocks are traded on active markets,their fair value is classified into the level 1 fair value. On the other hand, as the bonds and others that the Company holds aretraded less frequently and not regarded as quoted market prices in active markets, their fair value is classified into the level 2
fair value.
Long-term borrowings
As the fair value of these loans is measured with the discounted present value method based on the sum of the principal andthe interest rate with the residual period of the liabilities and credit risk added, it is classified into the level 2 fair value.

Basic information for understanding revenue from contracts with customers
Our Group recognizes revenue based on the following five-step approach.
Step 1: Identify the contracts with customers
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
Our Group manufactures and sells products such as electronic materials, industrial application structural
materials, electrical insulating materials, display materials, etc. to electronic parts manufacturers, informationequipment manufacturers, industrial electronics manufacturers, etc. as our main customers. As our Group
determines that control of the products is transferred to customers and their performance obligations are satisfied
upon delivery for many of the products, revenue is recognized at that time. In domestic sales, revenue isrecognized at the time of shipment if a period of time from shipment to the moment of control of the products
being transferred to customers is a regular term. Moreover, our Group recognizes revenue pertaining to some ofindustrial application structural materials and display materials over a period of time according to the progressof performance obligations, because control of assets is transferred to customers as obligations under contracts
with customers are satisfied.
With regard to determining the transaction price, our Group determines an amount by deducting price reduction,
product returns, etc. from promised considerations in contracts with customers. The considerations toperformance obligations are received within one year after performance obligations are satisfied and does notinclude significant financing components.
With regard to buy-sell transactions which correspond to repurchase agreements and in which the Company
provides parts to suppliers with compensation and bears a repurchase obligation, as financial transactions, theprovided parts retained by suppliers are recognized as inventories, and the amount equivalent to the ending
inventory of the provided parts retained by suppliers are recognized as “liabilities pertaining to buy-selltransactions.” With regard to buy-sell transactions in which the Company purchases parts from suppliers andbears a sell-back obligation, only the net amount equivalent to processing cost is recognized as revenue. As fortransactions where the role of the Company falls under an agent of sales of products to customers, revenue isrecognized at the net amount, subtracting the amount paid to third parties from the total amount of considerations.

Receivables from contracts with customers(balance at end of period)

Contract assets are related to considerations with revenue recognized but unclaimed in contracts where performanceobligations are satisfied for a specific period. Contract assets are reclassified into receivables from contracts with customers
at the time when rights to payment become unconditional. This is usually the time when an invoice is issued to customers.
Contract liabilities are mainly related to advances received from customers. Contract liabilities are to be reversed with therecognition of revenue.

2) Transaction prices allocated to remaining performance obligations
As there are no significant contracts whose originally expected contract period lasts more than one year, our Group applies apractical expedient and omits statement with regard to transaction prices allocated to remaining performance obligations. There isalso no significant amount not included in transaction prices in considerations from contracts with customers.

(Segment Information, etc.)[Segment Information]
1. Outline of reportable segments
Reportable segments of the Company are those constituent units of the Company who make available
separate financial information and also are subject to periodic review by the board of directors aimed atdetermining the distribution of management resources and evaluating business results.
The Company has manufacturing and sales systems in place for each category of product and service at its
head office, etc. and conducts business activities based on the comprehensive strategies that the Company
develops for the domestic and overseas markets as to its products and services.
The Company’s business, therefore, consists of several segments that represent each category of product andservice and are based on the said manufacturing and sales systems. Such segments are the four (4) reportablesegments of the Company, i.e. “Electronic materials business”, “Industrial application structural materials
business”, “Electrical insulating materials business” and “Display materials business”.
“Electronic materials business” produces materials for flexible and rigid printed circuit boards, etc.
“Industrial application structural materials business” produces filament winding molded products, honeycomb
panels and prepregs for aircraft, pultrusion molded products and FRP ski sheets, etc. “Electrical insulating
materials business” produces glass cloth, glass tapes and prepregs for electrical insulation, etc. “Display
materials business” produces 3D display filters and special optical components, etc.
2.

Method of calculating the amount of net sales, profit or loss, assets, liabilities and other items with respect toeach reportable segment
The accounting methods applied to the reported business segments are basically the same as those stated inthe (Important Matters Underlying Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements).
The amount of profit or loss recorded for each reportable segment is based on the operating profit or loss
(before amortization of goodwill).
Inter-segment revenues and transfers are based on the prevailing market price.

[Notes](Important Accounting Policies)
1. Valuation standards and valuation methods for assets(1) Valuation standards and valuation methods for securities
1) Equity stakes in subsidiaries and affiliated companies
Stated at average cost.
2) Available-for-sale securities
Securities other than stocks and others without a quoted market price:
Stated at fair market value (Valuation differences are reported as a component of net assets, and the costof securities sold is calculated using the average cost method.)
Stocks and others without a quoted market price:
Stated at average cost.
(2) Derivative financial instruments
Stated at fair market value.
(3) Valuation standards and valuation methods for inventories
1) Merchandise, finished goods, semi-finished goods and work in process
The cost method on a first-in, first-out basis is adopted. (The amount shown on the balance sheets is
calculated by writing inventories down due to a decline in profitability.)
2) Raw materials and supplies
The cost method based on the periodic average method is adopted. (The amount shown on the balance
sheets is calculated by writing inventories down due to a decline in profitability.)
2. Methods of depreciation and amortization of non-current assets(1) Property, plant and equipment (excluding lease assets)
The declining-balance method is adopted, except for the buildings (excluding accompanying facilities)
acquired on or after April 1, 1998 and accompanying facilities and structures acquired on or after April 1,
2016, which are depreciated using the straight-line method.
The useful life mostly falls within the ranges shown below:
Buildings: fifteen (15) years to thirty-one (31) years
Machinery and equipment: eight (8) years to nine (9) years(2) Intangible assets (excluding lease assets)
The straight-line method is adopted. Software used by the Company is amortized over an estimated inhouse usable period. (currently five (5) years)(3) Lease assets
Lease assets related to finance lease transactions that entail transfer of title
Depreciation and amortization is based on the same method as applied to self-owned non-current assets.
Lease assets related to finance lease transactions that do not entail transfer of title
Depreciation and amortization is based on the straight-line method that takes the lease period as the usefullife and sets the residual value at zero (0).
3. Standards for translating foreign currency assets and liabilities into Japanese currency
Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated into Japanese yen at the spot exchange rate asof the closing date, and the resulting translation differences are entered as profit or loss, as the case may be.
4. Standards for recording allowances and provisions(1) Allowance for doubtful accounts
As a reserve for potential loan losses, an estimated uncollectible amount is allocated based on thehistorical loan-loss ratio in the case of general accounts receivable, and in light of the collectability in each
instance in the case of some specific accounts receivable, e.g. doubtful receivables.
(2) Provision for bonuses
In preparation for the payment of bonuses to its employees, the Company allocates an expected
aggregate amount of such payment.
(3) Provision for share awards- 119 -

As a reserve for the payment of retirement benefits to employees, an amount is appropriated on the basisof the estimated amounts of retirement benefit obligations and plan assets as of the end of the current
business year.
1) Method of inter-period attribution of expected retirement benefits
In calculating retirement benefit obligations, the benefit formula is employed as the method of
attributing the estimated amount of each employee’s retirement benefits to his or her service period up
to the end of the current business year.
2) Method of recognizing actuarial differences as expenses
Actuarial differences are recognized as expenses, effective from the business year immediately
following the year of occurrence of each such difference, in an amount prorated using the straight-line
method over a certain number of years (currently five (5) years) within the average remaining service
period of the employees at the time of occurrence of the said difference in each business year.
(4) Provision for loss on guarantees
In order to prepare for loss on guarantees, etc., the estimated amount of losses is shown, taking into
account the financial conditions, etc. of guaranteed parties.
(5) Provision for share awards
As a reserve for the Company’s share-based remuneration to employees under the share delivery
regulations, it is allocated based on the expected aggregate amount of share benefit obligation as of theend of the current business year.
5. Standards for recording important revenues and expenses
Notes on the standards for recording important revenues and expenses are omitted as the same details areshown in “Notes (For Revenue Recognition) 2. Basic information for understanding revenue from contracts
with customers” of Consolidated Financial Statements.
6. Accounting method of significant hedge transactions(1) Method of hedge accounting
The Company adopts the deferred hedge accounting. With respect to the forward exchange contracts
that meet the requirements of hedge accounting, we adopt the designated hedge accounting.
(2) Hedging instruments and hedged items
Hedging instruments : Forward exchange contracts
Hedged items: Monetary claims denominated in foreign currencies, Anticipated transactions
in foreign currencies(3) Hedging policy
Forward foreign exchange transactions are conducted within the scope of actual demand for the
purpose of deterring risks involved in transactions denominated in foreign currencies from thefluctuations in the foreign exchange market. These transactions will never be entered for speculative
purpose.
(4) Method of assessing hedge effectiveness
The Company assesses the effectiveness of hedging based on the ratio of changes that is calculated bycomparing the cumulative total of the market fluctuations of hedged items with that of hedging
instruments. However, when the forward foreign exchange transactions are by designated hedge
accounting, such assessment of effectiveness is omitted.
7. Other important matters underlying preparation of financial statements(1) Accounting methods concerning retirement benefits
The method of accounting for an unappropriated portion of unrecognized actuarial differences
concerning retirement benefits is different from the method of accounting applied to the same in the caseof the consolidated financial statements.
(2) Accounting methods concerning deferred assets
Stock delivery expenses are fully charged to expenses when they are paid.

(Significant Accounting Estimates)
1. Valuation of Inventories(1) Amount recorded in the financial statements for the current business year
(Thousands of yen)Previous business year

Current business year

Loss on valuation of inventory

37,81929,906Merchandise and finished goods

292,638

517,604

Work in process

109,095

198,730(2) Other information that contributes to the understanding of users of financial statements
1) Calculation method
With regard to inventories that are slow-moving or to be disposed of because they have been cut off fromthe operating cycle and for which it is difficult to measure the net selling price according to a reasonably
estimated price, their carrying amount is written down in accordance with the holding period and demand
trends.
2) Major assumptions
Demand related to aircraft materials rapidly declined due to the spread of COVID-19, but it is gradually
increasing due to the easing of movement restrictions, etc. For this reason, the valuation of such inventories
is estimated based on the expected future sales, and the major assumption is the expected sales volume. The
assumption of the expected sales volume takes into account the future prospects for the trends in aircraftrelated demand including the influence of international situation in Ukraine.
3) Effect on the financial statements for the next business year
We assume the expected sales volume on the presumption that COVID-19 will be contained and demand
for aircraft will gradually recover. However, the timing of the containment of COVID-19 and the impact on
demand trends including the influence of international situation in Ukraine are highly uncertain, and there isa risk that this will have a significant impact on the inventory valuation decisions in the next business year.
(Changes in Accounting Policies)(Application of Implementation Guidance on Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement)
Implementation Guidance on Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement” (Accounting Standards Boardof Japan Guidance No. 31, June 17, 2021; hereinafter referred to as the “Implementation Guidance”), etc. havebeen applied from the beginning of the current business year. In accordance with the transitional treatment set forthin paragraph 27-2 of Implementation Guidance, the new accounting policy set forth in Implementation Guidance
was applied prospectively. There is no impact due to this application.
(Changes in Presentation)<Statements of Income>1. “Gain on redemption of investment securities”, which was separately stated within “Non-operating income”
in the previous business year, is presented as part of “Other” effective from the current business year due to afall in quantitative materiality. In order to reflect such change in presentation, a reclassification has been madein the financial statements for the previous business year. As a result, 213,189 thousand yen of “Gain on
redemption of investment securities”, listed within “Non-operating income” in the statements of income forthe previous business year, has been reclassified as part of “Other”.
2. “Reversal of provision for loss on guarantees”, which was presented as part of “Other” in “Non-operating
income” in the previous business year, is separately stated effective from the current business year due to a risein percentage of the pertinent amount to more than ten hundredths (10/100) of the aggregate amount of Nonoperating income. In order to reflect such change in presentation, a reclassification has been made in thefinancial statements for the previous business year. As a result, 115,902 thousand yen of “Other”, listed within“Non-operating income” in the statements of income for the previous business year, has been reclassified into
the combination of 48,815 thousand yen of “Reversal of provision for loss on guarantees” and 280,277- 121 -

thousand yen of “Other” (including a reclassification of 213,189 thousand yen from Gain on redemption of
investment securities in 1).
3. “Gain on reversal of share acquisition rights”, which was separately stated within “Extraordinary income” inthe previous business year, is presented as part of “Other” effective from the current business year due to a fallin quantitative materiality. In order to reflect such change in presentation, a reclassification has been made in
the financial statements for the previous business year. As a result, 45,938 thousand yen of “Gain on reversalof share acquisition rights”, listed within “Extraordinary income” in the statements of income for the previous
business year, has been reclassified as part of “Other”.

Independent Auditors’ Reportconcerning consolidated financial statements and internal control report
June 29, 2023
To the Board of Directors of Arisawa Mfg. Co., Ltd.
Ernst & Young ShinNihon LLC
Niigata office
Akira Igarashi
Designated Limited Liability Partner and Engagement Partner,

Certified Public Accountant
Ken Takahashi
Designated Limited Liability Partner and Engagement Partner,

Certified Public Accountant<Audit of Financial Statements>
Audit Opinion
For the purpose of granting audit certification under the provisions of Article 193-2, paragraph 1 of the Financial Instruments andExchange Act, we have audited the consolidated financial statements of Arisawa Mfg. Co., Ltd. listed in the “Status of Accounting” forthe consolidated fiscal year from April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023, consisting of the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements
of income, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and other net
assets, consolidated statements of cash flows, important matters underlying preparation of consolidated financial statements, other notes
and consolidated supplementary schedules.
In our opinion, the above consolidated financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, the financial conditions of Arisawa
Mfg. Co., Ltd. and its consolidated subsidiaries as of March 31, 2023 as well as the results of their operations and their status of cash
flows for the consolidated fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 in accordance with the corporate accounting standards generally acceptedin Japan.
Basis for the Audit Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in Japan. Our responsibility in the auditing
standards is stated in “The Responsibility of Auditors in the Consolidated Financial Statements Audit.” We are independent of theCompany and its consolidated subsidiaries and fulfill other ethical responsibilities as an auditor.in accordance with the code ofprofessional ethics in Japan. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that the auditor, as a professional expert, considers to be particularly important in the audit of
the consolidated financial statements for the current consolidated fiscal year. Those are matters that were addressed in the course of
performing the audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and in forming the audit opinion thereon, and we do not
express specific opinions on these matters.

Valuation for Inventories
Details of Key Audit Matters and Reasons for Decisions

Audit Response

As stated in the Notes (Significant Accounting Estimates),
there was a sharp decline in demand for aircraft materials dueto the spread of COVID-19, and a valuation loss of 29,906
thousand yen is recorded for the relevant inventories (517,604
thousand yen for merchandise and finished goods, and198,730 thousand yen for work in process). The valuation ofthese inventories is estimated based on the expected future
sales, and the major assumption is the expected sales volume.
The assumption for the expected sales volume takes into
account the future prospects for the containment of COVID19 and trends in aircraft-related demand including theinfluence of international situation in Ukraine.
In estimating the valuation of inventories, we assume theexpected sales volume on the presumption that COVID-19
will be contained and demand for aircraft will gradually
recover. However, the key assumptions that take into accountthe timing of this containment and the impact on demand
trends entail uncertainty and require management's judgment.
Therefore, we have determined that these matters constitutekey audit matters.

We principally performed the following audit procedures inconsidering the valuation of inventories.
- We obtained information on confirmed orders after the endof the fiscal year and compared them with the expected sales
volume in order to examine the situation after the end of the
fiscal year with regard to the expected sales volume.
- We compared and analyzed the actual sales volume in thepast with the expected sales volume in order to examine thefact that the expected sales volume is based on the actual sales
volume in the past.
- Information on aircraft-related orders and the production
planning of business partners, etc. were obtained andconsulted in order to examine the timing of corona
containment and demand trends and the influence ofinternational situation in Ukraine taken into account in the
key assumptions.
- The auditor made assumptions about the expected sales
volume and compared it to the company's inventory valuation
based on assumptions set by the Company in order toexamine the effect of uncertainties of the estimates forvaluation of inventories.
- The auditor discussed with management on the expectedsales volume to examine whether it complied withmanagement environment and measures which management
assumed, including the timing of the containment of COVID19.

The other information comprises the information included in the financial report, but does not include the consolidated financial
statement, the consolidated financial results, and our auditor’s reports thereon. Management is responsible for the preparation anddisclosure of the other information. The Corporate Auditors and the Board of Corporate Auditors are responsible for overseeing
the Directors' execution of duties relating to the improvement and operation of the reporting process for the other information.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form ofassurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in

required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibility of Management and Corporate Auditors and Board of Corporate Auditors for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance withthe corporate accounting standards generally accepted in Japan. This includes improvement and operation of such internal control
as the management deems necessary for the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing whether it is appropriate to prepare

assumption in accordance with the corporate accounting standards generally accepted in Japan if such items are required to bedisclosed.
Responsibility of Corporate Auditors and Board of Corporate Auditors is to monitor the execution of Directors’ duties in the
improvement and operation of the financial reporting process.
Responsibility of Auditors in the Consolidated Financial Statements Audit
Responsibility of auditors is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements from an independent standpoint in
the auditors’ report based on our audit by obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as awhole are free from material misstatement due to fraud or error. Material misstatement is judged to be material if it is likely tooccur due to fraud or error and, individually or in aggregation, is reasonably expected to have an impact on decisions made byusers of the consolidated financial statements.
Auditors make professional judgements and conduct the followings with an attitude of professional skepticism through an
auditing process in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in Japan.
・We identify and assess a risk of material misstatement due to fraud or error. We also design and conduct the audit proceduresthat address the risk of material misstatement. The selection and application of the audit procedures depend on the auditor's
judgment. In addition, we obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
・In making such risk assessments, the auditors review internal controls relevant to the audits in order to design audit proceduresthat are appropriate under the circumstances, while it is not the objective of an audit of the consolidated financial statements
to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control.
・We evaluate the accounting policies adopted by the management and appropriateness of their methods of application as well
as reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the management and validity of related notes.
・We conclude whether it is appropriate for the management to prepare the consolidated financial statements with the going
concern assumption and, based on the obtained audit evidence, whether a material uncertainty regarding events or conditions
that may cast significant doubt on the going concern assumption exists. If a material uncertainty regarding the going concern
assumption exists, it is required to promote awareness to the notes in the consolidated financial statements in the auditors’
report, or if the notes regarding a material uncertainty in the consolidated financial statements are inappropriate, it is required
to express an opinion with exceptive items to the consolidated financial statements. Conclusion by the auditors is based on
the audit evidence obtained by the day of the audit report, but a company may not be able to exist as the going concern
depending on future events or conditions.
・We evaluate not only whether the presentation and notes of the consolidated financial statements are in accordance withgenerally accepted accounting principles but also whether the presentation, structure, and contents of the consolidated financial
statements including related notes as well as the consolidated financial statements properly present underlying transactions
and accounting events.
・We obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the Company and its consolidated
subsidiaries to express an opinion about the consolidated financial statements. The auditors are responsible for instruction,
supervision, and execution of audits regarding the consolidated financial statements. The auditors assume responsibility for
an audit opinion all by themselves.
The auditors make reports to Corporate Auditors and Board of Corporate Auditors on the scope of a planned audit and its timingof conduct, material audit findings including material weaknesses of internal control identified in the audit process, and othermatters required by the auditing standards.
The auditors make reports to Corporate Auditors and Board of Corporate Auditors on that they complied with the code ofprofessional ethics on independence in Japan, matters that are reasonably believed to have an impact on the auditors’ independence,and the details of safeguards if those are implemented to remove or mitigate inhibitors.
Among the matters discussed with Corporate Auditors and Board of Corporate Auditors, Corporate Auditors shall determine
matters that are considered to be particularly significant in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the current
consolidated fiscal year as key audit matters and state them in the auditor's report. However, if publication of such matters is
prohibited by laws and regulations, or if the auditor judges that such matters should not be reported because the disadvantages ofreporting such matters in the auditor's report are reasonably expected to outweigh the public interest, albeit in an extremely limited
manner, such matters shall not be included in the auditor's report.
