The Japan Steel Works, Ltd. and Consolidated Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Basis of Presentation
The Japan Steel Works, Ltd. (the “Company”) and its domestic subsidiaries maintain their books of account in conformity with the financial
accounting standards of Japan, and its foreign subsidiaries maintaintheir books of account in conformity with those of their respective countries of domicile.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally acceptedin Japan, which are different in certain respects as to the application anddisclosure requirements of IFRS, and have been compiled from the consolidated financial statements prepared by the Company as required by
the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law of Japan.
As permitted by the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law ofJapan, amounts of less than one million yen have been omitted. As aresult, the totals shown in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements (both in yen and in U.S. dollars) do not necessarily agreewith the sums of the individual amounts.
Certain amounts in the prior year’s consolidated financial statements
have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies(a)	Principles of consolidation and accounting for investments inunconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include theaccounts of the Company and any significant companies controlled
directly or indirectly by the Company.
Companies over which the Company exercises significant influencein terms of their operating and financial policies have been accounted
for by the equity method. All significant intercompany balances andtransactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
As of March 31, 2016, the numbers of consolidated subsidiaries, andsubsidiaries and affiliates accounted for by the equity method were 32
and 1 (31 and 1 in 2015), respectively. SM PLATEK Co.,LTD. is included asa consolidated company due to the acquisition of its shares in the current fiscal year.
Certain foreign subsidiaries are consolidated on the basis of fiscal
periods ended December 31, which differ from that of the Company.
However, the necessary adjustments have been made if the effect of thedifference is material.
Investments in subsidiaries and affiliates which are neither consolidated nor accounted for by the equity method are carried at cost or less.
Where there has been a permanent decline in the value of such investments, the Company has written them down.
Differences between the cost and the underlying net equity at fairvalue of investments in consolidated subsidiaries and in companies
accounted for by the equity method have been amortized by thestraight-line method over five years after acquisition and are included inselling, general and administrative expenses.
(b) Foreign currency translation
The balance sheet accounts of the foreign consolidated subsidiaries aretranslated into yen at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet
date, except for the components of net assets excluding Non-controlling

32

interests which are translated at their historical exchange rates. Revenue
and expense accounts are translated at the average rates of exchange in
effect during the year. Differences arising from the translation are presented as translation adjustments and Non-controlling interests in the
consolidated financial statements.
Revenue and expense items arising from transactions denominatedin foreign currencies are generally translated into yen at the rates of
exchange in effect at the respective transaction dates.
All monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into yen at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date and differences arising from the translation are includedin the consolidated statements of income.
(c) Cash equivalents
Short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less whenpurchased which can easily be converted to cash and are subject to little
risk of change in value are considered to be cash equivalents.
(d) Inventories
Real estate held for sale, finished products and work in process arestated at the lower of cost or net realizable value determined principallyby the specific identification method. Raw materials are stated at thelower of cost or replacement cost determined principally by the moving
average method.
(e) Investment securities
Marketable securities classified as other securities are carried at fairvalue with changes in unrealized holding gain or loss, net of the applicable income taxes, included directly in net assets. Non-marketable securities classified as other securities are carried at cost. Cost of securities
sold is determined by the moving average method.
(f) Allowance for doubtful accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts is provided for possible bad debts
at an amount estimated based on the historical experience with bad
debts on normal receivables plus an additional allowance for specificuncollectible amounts determined by reference to the collectability of
individual doubtful accounts.
(g) Provision for warranties for completed construction
The Company provides a provision for warranties for completed construction by estimating losses on possible future claims.
(h) Provision for loss on construction contracts
The Company provides a provision for loss on construction contracts,
which has not been delivered by the fiscal year end, by estimating theamount of total losses anticipated in the following fiscal year and thereafter to be incurred, when the amounts can be reasonably estimated.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Independent Auditor’s Report(j) Property, plant and equipment and depreciation
Property, plant and equipment is stated on the basis of cost. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is determined by the declining-balance method over the estimated useful lives of the respective
assets, except for buildings to which the straight-line method is applied.
Significant renewals and additions are capitalized at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to income as incurred.
(k) Leases and depreciation
Finance lease transactions which do not stipulate the transfer of ownership of the leased assets to the lessee are accounted for as purchase andsales transactions.
With regard to the depreciation method of leased assets, thestraight-line method is applied using the lease period as the estimateduseful life and a residual value of zero.
(l) Retirement benefit
The retirement benefit obligation for employees is attributed to eachperiod by the benefit formula method.
Prior service cost is being amortized as incurred by the straight-line
method over ten years, which is shorter than the average remaining
years of service of the eligible employees.
Actuarial gain or loss is amortized in the year following the year inwhich the gain or loss is recognized by the straight-line method over ten
years, which is shorter than the average remaining years of service of theemployees participating in the plans.
Certain subsidiaries use a simplified method in the calculation of
their retirement benefit obligation.
(m) Income taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities have been recognized in the consolidated balance sheets with respect to the differences between financial
reporting and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws which will be in effect when
the differences are expected to reverse.
(n) Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses are charged to income whenincurred.
(o) Revenue and cost recognition
Revenues on sales of products are generally recognized at the time of
shipment.
Revenues and costs, of which the percentage of completion can bereliably estimated, are recognized by the percentage-of-completion
method. The percentage of completion is calculated at the cost incurred
as a percentage of the estimated total cost. The completed-contract
method is applied to contracts for which the percentage of completioncannot be reliably estimated.
(p) Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments are carried at fair value. Gain or loss onderivatives designated as hedging instruments is deferred as acomponent of net assets until the loss or gain on the underlying hedged
items is recognized. Foreign currency receivables and payables aretranslated at the applicable forward foreign exchange rates when certain conditions are met. In addition, the related interest differential paidor received under interest-rate swaps utilized as hedging instruments is
recognized over the terms of the swap agreements as an adjustment to
the interest expense of the underlying hedged items when certain conditions are met.
(q) Consumption tax
Accounting treatment of consumption tax is the tax exclusion method.
(r) Provision for directors’ bonuses
Provision for directors’ bonuses is provided based on estimatedamounts to be paid in the subsequent period that are applicable to thecurrent period.
(s) Provision for directors’ retirement benefits
Provision for directors’ retirement benefits is provided based on estimated amounts determined by internal rules.
(t) Accounting changes
The Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries adopted“Revised Accounting Standard for Business Combinations” (ASBJ Statement No. 21 of Sep 13, 2013), “Revised Accounting Standard for Consolidated Financial Statements” (ASBJ Statement No. 22 of Sep 13, 2013),
and others effective from April 1, 2015. As a result, any change resulting
from the Company’s ownership interests in its subsidiary when the Company retains control over the subsidiary is accounted for as capital surplus, and acquisition related costs are expensed in the year in which thecosts are incurred. For any business combinations on or after the beginning of the current fiscal year, subsequent adjustment to the provisionalamount recognized based on the purchase price allocation is reflectedin the consolidated financial statements for the period in which the business combination occured. In addition, the presentation method of
profit (loss) was amended and “minority interests” was changed to“non-controlling interests.” To reflect these changes in presentation,
reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements for the prior fiscal year presented herein.
The aforementioned accounting standards are applied prospectively from the beginning of the current fiscal year, according to the transitional treatment provided in Paragraph 58-2 (4) of the AccountingStandard for Business Combinations and Paragraph 44-5 (4) of the Consolidation Accounting Standard.
The effect of these changes on operating income, ordinary income
and loss before income taxes for the current fiscal year, and capital surplus as of the end of the current fiscal year is immaterial.
In the consolidated statement of cash flows for the current fiscal
year, cash flows from the purchase or sale of shares in subsidiaries that
do not result in change in scope of consolidation are presented under“Cash flows from financing activities,” whereas cash flows concerning
the costs related to the purchase of shares in subsidiaries that result in achange in the scope of consolidation or the expenses incurred in33relation to purchase or sales of shares in subsidiaries that do not resultin change in scope of consolidation are presented under “Cash flows
from operating activities.”
The effect on the amounts per share is immaterial.
(u) Standards issued but not yet effective
Implementation Guidance on Recoverability of Deferred Tax Assets
On March 28, 2016, the ASBJ issued “Revised Implementation Guidance on Recoverability of Deferred Tax Assets” (ASBJ Guidance No. 26)(1) Overview
Regarding the treatment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets,a review was conducted on the framework of Japanese Institute ofCertified Public Accountants Audit Committee Report No. 66 “Audit
Treatment on Determining the Recoverability of Deferred Tax
Assets,” whereby companies are categorized into five categories anddeferred tax assets are estimated based on each of thesecategories.
(Revisions on category requirements and deferred tax assets to berecorded)• Treatment of companies that do not satisfy any of the requirements for (Category 1) through (Category 5)• Category Requirements for (Category 2) and (Category 3)• Treatment related to future deductible temporary differences whichcannot be scheduled in companies that qualify as (Category 2)• Treatment related to the reasonably estimable period of future
pre-adjusted taxable income in companies that qualify as (Category 3)•Treatment in cases where a company satisfies the category
requirements for (Category 4) but qualify as (Category 2) and (Category 3)(2) Scheduled date of adoption
The Company expects to adopt the revised implementation guidance from the fiscal year beginning on or after April 1, 2016.
(3)	Impact of adopting revised accounting standards and guidance
The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting thisrevised implementation guidance on its consolidated financial
statements.

16. Financial Instruments
Overview(a) Policy for financial instruments
In consideration of plans for operations and capital investment, theCompany and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”)
utilize funds provided by operating cash flows first. The Group uses bondissuances and bank borrowings in order to raise additional funds, if
needed. The Company manages temporary cash surpluses throughlow-risk financial assets. The Company uses derivatives for the purposeof reducing risks and does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative or trading purposes.
(b) Types of financial instruments and related risk
Trade receivables – trade notes and accounts receivable – are exposedto credit risk in relation to customers. In addition, the Company is
exposed to foreign currency exchange risk arising from receivables
denominated in foreign currencies. The foreign currency exchange risks
deriving from the trade receivables denominated in foreign currencies
are hedged by forward foreign exchange contracts, if needed.
Investment securities are exposed to market risk. These securities
are mainly composed of the shares of common stock of companies withwhich the Company has business relationships.
Trade payables – trade notes and accounts payable – have payment
due dates within one year. Since the Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk arising from those payables denominated in foreign
currencies, forward foreign exchange contracts are arranged to reduce
the risk, if needed.
Loans payable and bonds are used to raise funds mainly in connection with capital investments. The repayment dates of the long-term
debts extend up to seven years from the balance sheet date. Long-term
debt with variable interest rates is exposed to interest rate fluctuation

risk. However, to reduce such risk and fix the interest payments for longterm debt with variable rates, the Company utilizes interest rate swap
transactions as hedging instruments.
Regarding derivatives, the Company enters into forward foreignexchange contracts to reduce the foreign currency exchange risk arising from the receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies. The Company also enters into interest rate swap transactions to
reduce the fluctuation risk of interest payments for long-term debt
with variable rates.
Information regarding the method of hedge accounting, hedging
instruments and hedged items, hedging policy, and the assessment of
the effectiveness of hedging activities is found in Note 2 (p).
(c) Risk management for financial instruments(i)	Monitoring of credit risk (the risk that customers or counterparties
may default)
In accordance with the internal policies of the Company for managing credit risk arising from receivables, each related division monitors credit worthiness of their main customers periodically, andmonitors due dates and outstanding balances by individual customer. In addition, the Company is making efforts to identify andmitigate risks of bad debts from customers who are having financial
difficulties. The consolidated subsidiaries also manage credit risk
using the Company’s internal policies and methods.
The Company also believes that the credit risk of derivatives isinsignificant as it enters into derivative transactions only with financial institutions which have a high credit-rating.
(ii)	Monitoring of market risk (the risk arising from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and others)
For trade receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies, the Company identifies the foreign currency exchange risk foreach currency on a monthly basis and enters into forward foreignexchange contracts to hedge such risk. In order to mitigate the interest rate risk for loans payable bearing interest at variable rates, theCompany may also enter into interest rate swap transactions.
For investment securities, the Company periodically reviews
the fair values of such financial instruments and the financial position of the issuers. In addition, the Company continuously evaluates
whether securities should be maintained taking into account theirfair values and relationships with the issuers.
In conducting derivative transactions, the division in charge ofeach derivative transaction follows the internal policies, which set
forth delegation of authority. Monthly reports including actual transaction data are submitted to top management for their review. The
consolidated subsidiaries also conduct derivative transactions
using the Company’s internal policies.

39

(iii)	Monitoring of liquidity risk (the risk that the Company may not beable to meet its obligations on scheduled due dates)
Based on the report from each division, the Company prepares andupdates its cash flow plans on a timely basis to manage liquidity
risk. The consolidated subsidiaries manage the liquidity risk using
cash flow plans and report to the Company periodically.
(d)	Supplementary explanation of the estimated fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of financial instruments is based on their quoted market
price, if available. When there is no available quoted market price, fairvalue is reasonably estimated. Since various assumptions and factors
are reflected in estimating the fair value, different assumptions and factors could result in different fair value. In addition, the notional amountsof derivatives in Note 18 Derivative Transactions are not necessarily
indicative of the actual market risk involved in derivative transactions.
Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Carrying value of financial instruments on the consolidated balance
sheet as of March 31, 2016 and estimated fair value are shown in the following table. The following table does not include financial instruments
for which it is extremely difficult to determine the fair value (Please refer
to Note (ii) below).

Year ended March 31, 2016

AssetsCash on hand and in banks
The carrying amount is used for bank deposits without maturities,
because the fair value approximates the carrying value. The fairvalue of time deposits in banks with maturities is calculated basedon the present value of the total principal and interest discounted at
a rate supposing a newly made deposit.
Trade notes and accounts receivables
The fair value is calculated by categories of the remaining periods ofthe receivables based on the present value using discount rates
determined by the period to maturity and credit risk.
Securities
The carrying amount is used for other securities with maturities,
because the fair value approximates the carrying amount.
Quoted market price is used for other securities.
Liabilities
Trade notes and accounts payable and short-term borrowings
The carrying amount is used for these items because the fair value
approximates the carrying amount.
Current portion of long-term debt, bonds and long-term debt
The fair values are calculated by applying a discount rate, based on
the assumed interest rate if a similar new debt is issued, to the totalof the principal and interest. The current portion of long-term debt
and long-term debt with variable interest rates are subject to thespecial treatment of interest rate swaps and is calculated by applying a discount rate, based on the assumed interest rate if a similar
new debt is issued, to the total of the principal and interest including that of the interest rate swap.
