SAKATA INX CORPORATIONNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.

Basis of Presenting Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of SAKATA INX CORPORATION (the“Company”) and its consolidated subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the provisions set forthin the Japanese Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and its related accounting regulations and in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in Japan (“Japanese GAAP”), which are different
in certain respects as to application and disclosure requirements from International Financial ReportingStandards (IFRS).
The accounts of the Company’s consolidated foreign subsidiaries are based on IFRS or generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The accompanying
consolidated financial statements have been restructured and translated into English with some expanded
descriptions and the inclusion of consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity from the consolidated
financial statements of the Company prepared in accordance with Japanese GAAP and filed with theappropriate Local Finance Bureau of the Ministry of Finance as required by the Financial Instruments andExchange Act. Some supplementary information included in the statutory Japanese language consolidated
financial statements, but not required for fair presentation, is not presented in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.
2.

Significant Accounting Policies
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its twenty-fivesubsidiaries (twenty-seven in 2019). The principal subsidiaries of the Company were THE INXGROUP LIMITED, INX International Ink Co., SAKATA INX (INDIA) PRIVATE LIMITED and P.T.
SAKATA INX INDONESIA. Creative Industria e Comercio Ltda. was excluded from the scope of
consolidation due to the merger by INX do Brasil Ltda., and another company was also excluded due to themerger by the Company. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
In the elimination of investments in subsidiaries, the assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries, including
the portion attributable to non-controlling shareholders, are evaluated using the fair value at the time theCompany acquired control of the respective subsidiary.
The equity method was applied to four affiliates (four in 2019). The principal affiliate of the Company
was SIIX Corporation.
The consolidated financial statements did not include the accounts of an unconsolidated subsidiary andtwo affiliates in 2020, and the equity method was not applied to those companies because they wereimmaterial. The principal unconsolidated subsidiary was A.M. Ramp & Co. GmbH.

Securities
The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Companies”) classify securities as (a) securities
held for trading purposes (“trading securities”), (b) debt securities intended to be held to maturity(“held-to-maturity debt securities”), (c) equity securities issued by subsidiaries and affiliates and (d) all othersecurities that are not classified in any of the above categories (“available-for-sale securities”).
The Companies do not hold trading securities or held-to-maturity debt securities. Equity securities
issued by subsidiaries and affiliates accounted for by the equity method are stated at moving average cost.
Available-for-sale securities with available fair values are stated at fair value. Unrealized gains andunrealized losses on these securities are reported, net of applicable income taxes, as a separate component ofshareholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses on the sale of such securities are computed using moving
average cost. Other securities with no available fair value are stated at moving average cost. Investments on
Investment limited partnership and similar partnership (deemed to be securities in Article 2-2 of Japanese
Financial Instruments and Exchange Act) are recorded at net amounts of share of its value based on available
financial statements following reporting date described in partnership agreement.

Inventories
Inventories of the Company and its consolidated domestic subsidiaries are stated at cost based on themoving average method, in which the amount of inventories shown on the balance sheet are written down
based on any decrease in profitability.
Inventories of the consolidated foreign subsidiaries are stated principally at the lower of cost or
market, cost being determined by the first-in, first-out method.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. The Company and its consolidated domestic
subsidiaries depreciate property, plant and equipment principally by the straight-line method over theestimated useful life of the asset.
The range of useful lives is summarized as follows:
Buildings and structures
Machinery, equipment and vehicles
Other

3 to 60 years
2 to 17 years
2 to 20 years

Intangible assets
Intangible assets consist of in-house software and other. The straight-line method is used to amortize
intangible assets. The amortization of in-house software is computed using the straight-line method based on
the estimated useful life of mainly five years.
Finance leases
Lease assets under finance lease transactions that do not transfer title of the lease assets are capitalized
and depreciated on a straight-line basis with the lease period used as the useful life and no residual value.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
The Companies have adopted the policy of providing an allowance for doubtful accounts in an amountsufficient to cover possible losses on collection mainly by estimating the uncollectible amounts of certain
receivables and applying a percentage based on collection experience to the remaining receivables.
Bonuses
The Company and certain consolidated subsidiaries provide for employees’ bonuses at the balance
sheet date based on the estimated amounts of projected bonus payments.
Retirement benefits
1. Method used to attribute estimated amounts of retirement benefits to periods
In calculating retirement benefit obligations, the method used to attribute the estimated amount of
retirement benefits to a period until the end of the consolidated fiscal year is mainly based on the benefit
formula basis.
2. Accounting methods for actuarial difference and prior service cost
Prior service cost is recognized mainly as current costs, and actuarial gains and losses are recognizedin expenses using the straight-line method over mainly 15 years, a period which reflects the average of theestimated remaining service years of employees, commencing with the current period.

10Translation of foreign currencies
Receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Japanese yen at
year-end rates. All revenues and expenses in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates
prevailing when such transactions are made. The resulting gains and losses are recognized in the statements
of income.
The balance sheet accounts of the consolidated foreign subsidiaries are translated into Japanese yen at
year-end rates, except for equity, which is translated at historical rates. Differences arising from thetranslations are presented as “Foreign currency translation adjustment” and “Non-controlling interests” in net
assets. Income statement accounts of the consolidated foreign subsidiaries are translated at average annual
rates.
Derivatives and hedge accounting
The Companies state derivative financial instruments at fair value and recognize changes in the fairvalue as gain or loss unless the derivative financial instruments are used for hedging purposes.
If derivative financial instruments are used as hedges and meet certain hedging criteria, the Companies
defer recognition of gain or loss resulting from changes in the fair value of the derivative financial
instruments until the corresponding loss or gain on the hedged items is recognized. However, if forward
foreign exchange contracts are used as hedges and meet certain hedging criteria, the forward foreignexchange contracts and hedged items are accounted for at the forward foreign exchange contact rate. If
interest rate swap contracts are used as hedges and meet certain hedging criteria, the net amount to be paid or
received under the interest rate swap contract is added to or deducted from the interest on the hedged assets
or liabilities for which the interest rate swap contracts were executed.
The following summarizes hedging derivative financial instruments used by the Companies and theitems hedged:
Hedging instruments
Forward foreign exchange contracts
Currency swap contracts
Interest rate swap contracts

Hedged items
Receivables and payables in foreign currency and others
Loans payable in foreign currency
Interest on loans payable in foreign currency and loans payable

The Companies use derivative financial instruments for hedging purposes to mitigate the risk offluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.
The Companies evaluate hedging effectiveness by confirming a correlation between the hedging
instruments and the hedged items. However, interest rate swap contracts that meet the requirements for
special treatment are omitted from an assessment of effectiveness.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash on hand, readily available deposits and short-term highly liquid investments with maturities notexceeding three months at the time of purchase are considered to be cash and cash equivalents.
Goodwill
Goodwill is amortized by the straight-line method over certain period within 20 years.
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses are charged to income as incurred. Research and development
expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were ¥3,478 million and ¥3,475 million,
respectively.

11

Income taxes
Income taxes comprise corporation tax, prefectural and municipal inhabitants taxes and enterprise tax.
The asset-liability approach is used to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected
future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities forfinancial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes and operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards.
Consumption taxes
Consumption taxes are excluded from revenue and expense accounts.
Amounts per share(a) Net income per share of common stock
The Companies have adopted Accounting Standard Board of Japan (“ASBJ”) Statement No. 2,“Accounting Standard for Earnings Per Share,” and Financial Accounting Standards Implementation
Guidance No. 4, “Implementation Guidance for Accounting Standard for Earnings Per Share.”(b) Cash dividends per share
Cash dividends per share presented in the statements of income represent the cash dividends declaredapplicable to the year, including dividends declared and paid after the end of the year.
Net assets
Under the Japanese Companies Act (the “Act”) and regulations, the entire amount paid for new sharesis required to be designated as common stock. However, a company may, by a resolution of the Board of
Directors, designate an amount not exceeding one half of the price of the new shares as additional paid-in
capital, which is included in capital surplus.
The Act requires that an amount equal to 10% of dividends must be appropriated as additional paid-in
capital or legal earnings reserve until the total aggregate amount of legal reserve and additional paid-in
capital equals 25% of the common stock.
Additional paid-in capital and legal earnings reserve may not be distributed as dividends. However, alladditional paid-in capital and all legal earnings reserve may be transferred to other capital surplus andretained earnings, respectively, which are potentially available for dividends. The maximum amount that theCompany can distribute as dividends is calculated based on the nonconsolidated financial statements of theCompany in accordance with the Act.

Accounting Standards and Guidance not yet Adopted
The following standards and guidances were issued but not yet adopted.
- “Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition” (ASBJ Statement No.29, March 31, 2020)- “Implementation Guidance on Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition” (ASBJ Guidance
No.30, March 26, 2021)- “Implementation Guidance on Disclosure of Fair Value on Financial Instruments” (ASBJ Guidance
No.19, March 31, 2020)(1) Overview
The above standard and guidance provide comprehensive principles for revenue recognition. Under
the standard and guidance, revenue is recognized by applying following 5 steps:
Step1: Identify contract(s) with customers.
Step2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
Step3: Determine the transaction price.
Step4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract.
Step5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

12

(2) Effective date
Effective from the beginning of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.
(3) Effect of application of the standard and guidances
The Company and its consolidated domestic subsidiaries are currently in the process of determining
the effects of these new standards and guidances on the consolidated financial statements.
-“Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement” (ASBJ Statement No.30, July 4, 2019)“Accounting Standard for Measurement of Inventories” (ASBJ Statement No.9, July 4, 2019)“Accounting Standard for Financial Instruments” (ASBJ Statement No.10, July 4, 2019)“Implementation Guidance on Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement” (ASBJ Guidance
No.31, July 4, 2019)- “Implementation Guidance on Disclosure of Fair Value on Financial Instruments” (ASBJ Guidance
No.19, March 31, 2020)(1) Overview
Under the situation that almost the same detailed guidance for fair value measurement established by
the International Accounting Standards Board（“IASB”） and the Financial Accounting Standards Board(“FASB”) (IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement” and Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement”), the ASBJ
promoted an initiative on alignment of Japanese GAAP with the international accounting standards, mainlyin the area of the guidance on fair value of financial instruments and its disclosures, and developed andissued the “Accounting Standard for Measurement of Fair Value” and other standards and guidances.
The ASBJ’s basic policies in developing the accounting standard for fair value measurement were toestablish accounting standards which adopt all principles of IFRS 13 from the view of comparability offinancial statements between the domestic and foreign companies, by prescribing a unified measurement
method and also to prescribe exceptional treatments for individual matters by taking into account theaccounting practices that have conventionally been adopted in Japan to the extent that do not impair thecomparability of financial statements.
(2) Effective date
Effective from the beginning of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.
(3) Effect of application of the standard and guidances
The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are currently in the process of determining the effectsof these new standards and guidances on the consolidated financial statements.
- “Accounting Standard for Disclosure on Accounting Estimates” (ASBJ Statement No.31, March 31,
2020)(1) Overview“Disclosure of sources of estimation uncertainty” is required by Paragraph 125 of IAS 1 “Presentationof Financial Statements” issued by the IASB in 2003. In relation to the disclosure, ASBJ received requests toconsider disclosure of such useful information for users of financial statements under Japanese GAAP andaccordingly, ASBJ developed and issued the standard.
The ASBJ’s basic policies in developing the accounting standard for disclosure of accounting
estimates were to present principles (disclosure purpose) rather than enriching the existing notes, to request
companies to make decisions about the specific disclosure contents in light of the disclosure purpose, and theprovision of Paragraph 125 of IAS 1 were referred to in the development.
(2) Effective date
Effective from the last of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.

13

- “Accounting Standard for Accounting Policy Disclosures, Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections” (ASBJ Statement No.24, March 31, 2020)(1) Overview
Following the proposal for a study of enriching disclosure of notes on “accounting principles andprocedures adopted when requirements under the relating accounting standards are not clearly defined,” the
ASBJ made necessary revisions and issued the revised “Accounting Standard for Accounting Policy
Disclosures, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.”
In enriching disclosure of notes on “accounting principles and procedures adopted when requirements
under the relating accounting standards are not clearly defined,” Note 1-2 of the Business Accounting
Principles should be followed to avoid affecting accounting practices when requirements under the relating
accounting standards are clearly defined.
(2) Effective date
Effective from the last of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.

Additional Information(Accounting estimates along with expansion of COVID-19)
Spread of COVID-19 has comprehensive impacts on economy and business activities and it also
affects the Companies.
Although it was difficult to reasonably estimate the timing of the infection convergence and the extent
of impacts, the Company made accounting estimates such as impairments of fixed assets and recoverabilityof deferred tax assets on the assumption that impacts on our financial statements would be limited.

5.

Deferred Capital Gains on Tangible Fixed Assets
Under certain conditions, such as the exchange of similar kinds of fixed assets, gains from insurance
claims and sales and purchases resulting from expropriation, Japanese tax acts permit companies to defer
gains arising from such transactions by reducing the cost of the assets acquired. Accordingly, deferred
capital gains from insurance claims were deducted from the cost of replacement properties, which amounted
to ¥41 million as of both December 31, 2020 and 2019.
6.

Effect of Bank Holiday
As financial institutions in Japan were closed on both December 31, 2020 and 2019, amounts thatwould have been settled on December 31 were collected or paid on the first business day in January 2021
and 2020. The amounts included in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 wereas follows:2020

Financial Instruments
1. Qualitative information on financial instruments(1) Policies for using financial instruments
The Companies have policies to limit fund management to the use of highly secure financial assets
such as short-term deposits and financing to the use of bank loans. Derivative transactions are used to
manage the risk of fluctuation in the interest rates of bank loans with variable interest rates. The Companies
do not use derivative transactions for speculation.
(2) Details of risk and risk management for financial instruments
Operating receivables such as “Notes and accounts receivable - trade” are exposed to customer credit
risk. To manage such risk, due dates and the balances of operating receivables by customer are monitored byreviewing overdue receivable reports. In addition, credit research is performed regularly on customers whose
accounts need attention.
Securities such as available-for-sale securities consist mainly of securities of parties with whom theCompanies have business relationships and are exposed to market fluctuations risk. To manage such risk, theCompanies monitor the fair value of the securities and the financial condition of the investees regularly toevaluate investment policy, taking the business relationships with the investees into consideration.
Operating payables such as “Notes and accounts payable - trade” and “Electronically recorded
obligations - operating” are mostly due within one year.
Short-term loans payable are used as financing mainly for operating transactions, and long-term loans
payable and lease obligations on finance leases are used as financing mainly for capital expenditure.
Loans payable at variable interest rates are exposed to the risk of interest rate fluctuation. However,for some long-term loans payable, derivative transactions, namely interest rate swap contracts, are used as
hedging instruments to avoid interest rate risk and stabilize interest expense. Hedge effectiveness testing is
not conducted as the interest rate swap contracts meet certain hedging criteria.
The execution and management of derivative transactions are conducted under the Company’sderivative transaction management rules and regulations, and the counterparties to derivative financial
instruments are limited to high credit rating financial institutions to mitigate credit risk.
Operating payables and bank loans are exposed to liquidity risk, but the Companies manage the riskby preparing and reviewing respective monthly cash management plans.
2. Fair values of financial instruments
Consolidated balance sheet amounts and fair values of financial instruments and any differences as ofDecember 31, 2020 and 2019 are set forth in the tables below.
Note that the following tables do not include fair values for financial instruments for which the fairvalue was extremely difficult to measure.

Securities
The following tables summarize the consolidated balance sheet amount, acquisition cost and fair valueof available-for sale securities as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Available-for-sale securities (non-listed
equity securities) in the consolidated balance sheet amount of ¥536 million as of December 31, 2020 and¥289 million as of December 31, 2019 were not included because they had no quoted market price, thefuture cash flows could not be estimated and the fair values were unavailable. Proceeds from the sale ofavailable-for-sale securities amounted to ¥15 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and ¥480
million for the year ended December 31, 2019, and the related gains amounted to ¥3 million for the year
ended December 31, 2020 and ¥211 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
When the fair value of securities at the fiscal year end is lower than the acquisition cost by 50% or
more, the whole amount of such difference is recorded as impairment loss, in principle. When the fair value
at the fiscal year end is lower than the acquisition cost by between 30% and 50%, impairment loss in an
amount deemed necessary is recorded after determining recoverability by considering quoted market pricetransactions during a certain past period, business performance and other factors.
The amount of impairment for available-for-sale securities was ¥3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2020 and ¥2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Segment Information

1. Overview of reportable segments
The Companies’ reportable segments are components of the Companies for which separate financial
information is obtainable and which the Board of Directors and Management Committee regularly consider
in order to determine the allocation of business resources and evaluate business performance. The
Companies are engaged mainly in the manufacture and sale of printing inks. Multiple divisions of theCompany are engaged in the domestic market, and the foreign subsidiaries are engaged in their own
respective overseas markets, such as markets of Asia, Americas and Europe.
Foreign subsidiaries that have independent management units establish their own comprehensive
strategies and develop business activities in their respective regions and surrounding areas. Besides the saleof printing inks, the Company purchases and sells graphic arts materials in the domestic market. In addition,
the Company purchases and sells printing equipment in the domestic market.
The digital & specialty products business such as inkjet ink, toner, pigment dispersion and others
developed through the basic technology of printing inks like pigment dispersion make up various
independent operational segments. The Companies focus on expanding the revenue base of the digital &specialty products business led by the Company.
Therefore, the Companies’ printing inks business, our core business, comprises the geographic
segments based on the production and sales structure. The Companies’ printing inks business consists of thefour reportable segments of “Printing inks and graphic arts materials (Japan),” “Printing inks (Asia),”“Printing inks (Americas)” and “Printing inks (Europe).” Furthermore, the “Digital & Specialty products”
business, in which the Companies promote business expansion, constitutes another reportable segment for a
total of five reportable segments.
