(1) The
Japanese or global economy may significantly reduce demand for Kyoceras products



The Japanese economy showed stable growth due mainly to an expanded market for digital consumer equipment from the second half of fiscal 2006. However, the economic outlook has been uncertain and has been negatively
affected by inventory reductions in the IT-related industries. Though the current global economic outlook, including for the U.S., also remains to grow, there may continue to be instability in light of the appreciation of the yen and the rise in
prices of oil and certain raw materials. Kyocera is substantially dependent for its growth on the markets for semiconductors, mobile phone handsets and PC-related equipment. These markets may be adversely affected by demand in electronics industry
and by sluggish consumer spending brought by economic recession.

(2) Unexpected changes in economic, political and legal conditions in China, in which Kyocera is becoming
increasingly active, may have an adverse effect on Kyoceras business



Based on its expectation that the Chinese markets for IT-related products, including electronic components, mobile phone handsets, personal computers (PCs) and PC peripherals will continue to grow continuously, Kyocera has been making
substantial investments in new production and marketing facilities in China. Kyocera now has four principal production facilities located in Shanghai, Dongguan, Guiyang, and Tianjin, and plans to make additional investments to increase production
capacity at these sites and to increase its marketing and distribution capabilities in China. Although the Chinese economy has been growing at a rapid rate in recent years, and the central government has been increasingly utilizing market forces as
opposed to central economic planning, growth has been uneven among various regions of the country and among various sectors of the economy. Unexpected changes in the central governments economic policy or in the business climate, including
those due to changes in institutional systems in various parts of the country, may adversely affect its IT-related markets in which Kyocera seeks to sell its products. In addition, China is in the process of developing a comprehensive system of laws
and regulations dealing with economic matters, such as currency controls, and foreign corporations currently active in the country, such as Kyocera, face risks and uncertainties including enforcement of contractual terms, administrative intrusion by
local governments and difficulty with expatriation of profits.



(3)
Kyocera sells a diverse variety of products, and in each of its businesses Kyocera is subject to intense competitive pressures, including in terms of price, technological change, product development, quality and speed of delivery, and these
pressures are likely to increase in the near term



Kyocera sells a
wide variety of products and therefore faces a broad range of competitors from large international companies to relatively small, rapidly growing and highly specialized companies. Kyocera has a variety of businesses in different industries while
many of its competitors specialize in one or more of these business areas. As a result, Kyocera may not fund or invest in certain of its businesses to the same degree as its competitors, or these competitors may have greater financial, technical,
and marketing resources available to them than the portion of its business against which they compete. While some of the factors that drive competition vary by product area, price and speed of delivery are factors in all areas of Kyoceras
business. Price pressure has been intense, and thus Kyocera predicts that its production prices will continue to be lower over fiscal 2007 partly depending on the demand and competition situation. In production businesses in which Kyocera develops,
produces and distributes specialized parts for its customers products, its competitive position depends significantly on being involved early in the process of creating a new product that fits its customers needs. This requires
maintaining close ties with customers so that Kyocera can ensure that it is able to meet required specifications and be the first supplier to create and deliver the product. Kyoceras gross margins may be reduced if it cannot maintain these
important relationships or market share or if it is forced in the future to further reduce prices in response to the actions of its competitors.



(4) Small manufacturing delays or defects resulting from outsourcing or internal manufacturing processes can adversely affect Kyoceras production yields and
operating results



Kyocera ordinarily outsources the fabrication of
certain components and sub-assemblies of its products, often to sole source suppliers or a limited number of suppliers. Kyocera has experienced occasional delays in obtaining components and sub-assemblies because the manufacturing process for these
items is very complex and requires a long lead-time. Kyoceras revenues derived from sales of these products will be materially and adversely affected if Kyocera is unable to obtain a high quality, reliable and timely supply of these components
and sub-assemblies. In addition, any reduction in the precision of these components will result in sub-standard end products and will cause delays and interruptions in Kyoceras production cycle.



Within Kyoceras manufacturing facilities, minute impurities, difficulties in the
production process or other factors can cause a substantial percentage of its products to be rejected or non-functional. These factors can result in lower than expected production yields, which delay product shipments and may materially and
adversely affect Kyoceras operating results. Because the majority of Kyoceras costs of manufacture are relatively fixed, production yield and capacity utilization rate are critical to its financial results.

##### Table of Contents

(5) Since a significant percentage of Kyoceras revenues has been derived from foreign sales in recent years,
various export risks may disproportionately affect its revenues



Kyoceras sales to customers located outside Japan accounted for 59.8% of its total revenues in fiscal 2006. Kyocera believes that overseas sales will continue to account for a significant percentage of its revenues. Therefore, the
following export risks may disproportionately affect Kyoceras revenues:



| |  |  | a strong yen may make Kyoceras products less attractive to foreign purchasers;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | political and economic instability may inhibit export of Kyoceras products;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Kyocera may experience difficulties in the timeliness of collection of accounts receivable due from foreign customers and be forced to write off those receivables;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | tariffs and other barriers may make Kyoceras products less cost competitive;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | shipping and handling costs of Kyoceras products may increase;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Kyocera may have difficulty in staffing and managing its international operations; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the laws of certain foreign countries may not adequately protect Kyoceras trade secrets and intellectual property.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



(6) Currency exchange rate fluctuations could adversely affect Kyoceras financial
results



Kyocera conducts business in countries outside of Japan,
which exposes it to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Kyocera may enter into short-term forward exchange transaction to hedge this risk according to its outlook on future exchange rates; nevertheless, fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates could have an adverse effect on its business. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may affect its results of operations and the value of its foreign assets, which in turn may adversely affect reported earnings and the
comparability of period-to-period results of operations. Changes in currency exchange rates may affect the relative prices at which Kyocera and foreign competitors sell products in the same market. In addition, changes in the value of the relevant
currencies may affect the cost of imported items required in its operations.



(7) Industry demand for skilled employees, particularly engineering and technical personnel, exceeds the number of personnel available



Kyoceras future success depends, in part, on its ability to attract and retain certain key personnel, including engineering, operational and management
personnel. Kyocera anticipates that it will need to hire additional skilled personnel in all areas of its business. The competition for attracting and retaining these employees, especially engineers in key fields, including software design in
telecommunications, is intense. Because of this intense competition for these skilled employees, Kyocera may be unable to retain its existing personnel or attract additional qualified employees in the future.



(8) Insufficient protection of Kyoceras trade secrets and patents could have a
significant adverse impact on its competitive position



Kyoceras
success and competitive position depend on protecting its trade secrets and other intellectual property. Kyoceras strategy is to rely both on trade secrets and patents to protect its manufacturing and sales processes and products, but reliance
on trade secrets is only an effective business practice insofar as trade secrets remain undisclosed and a proprietary product or process is not reverse engineered or independently developed. Kyocera takes certain measures to protect its trade
secrets, including executing nondisclosure agreements with certain of its employees, joint venture partners, customers and suppliers. If parties breach these agreements or the measures Kyocera takes are not properly implemented, Kyocera may not have
an adequate remedy. Disclosure of its trade secrets or reverse engineering of its proprietary products, processes or devices could materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

##### Table of Contents

Kyocera is actively pursuing patents on some of its recent inventions, but these patents may not be issued. Even if these
patents are issued, they may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. In addition, the laws of certain other countries may not protect Kyoceras intellectual property to the same extent as Japanese laws.



(9) Kyocera may require licenses to continue to manufacture and sell certain of its
products, the expense of which may adversely affect its results of operations



From time to time Kyocera has received, and may receive in the future, notice of claims of infringement of other parties proprietary rights and licensing offers to commercialize third party patent rights. Although Kyocera is not
currently involved in any litigations relating to its intellectual property except in the ordinary course of its business, Kyocera cannot assure that:



| |  |  | infringement claims (or claims for indemnification resulting from infringement claims) will not be asserted against Kyocera,
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | future assertions against Kyocera will not result in an injunction against the sale of infringing or allegedly infringing products or otherwise significantly impair its business and
results of operations; or
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Kyocera will not be required to obtain licenses, the expense of which may adversely affect its results of operations.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



(10) Future initiatives and in-process research and development may not produce the
desired results



Kyocera intends to expand its product lines to
satisfy customer demand in its target markets. Unexpected technical delays in completing these initiatives could lengthen development schedules and result in lower revenues based on the products or technologies developed from these initiatives.
There can be no assurance that the products derived from Kyoceras in-process research and development activities will achieve market acceptance.



(11) Kyoceras markets or supply chains may be adversely affected by terrorism, plague, wars or similar events



Kyocera as a global company has been expanding its business worldwide. At the same time, we
will be exposed to risks of our getting involved in terrorism, plague, war and other similar events. In the case that those events occur, Kyoceras operating activities would be suspended. Furthermore, there would be delay, disorder or
suspension in Kyoceras R&D, manufacturing, sales and services. If such delay or disruption occurs and continues for a long period of time, Kyoceras business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.



(12) Kyoceras headquarters and major facilities are subject to
devastating effects of earthquakes and other natural disasters



Kyoceras headquarters and major facilities including plants, sales offices and R&D centre are located not only in Japan but also all over the world. It might be inevitable that Kyocera would suffer from natural disasters such as
earthquake, typhoon, and floods and so on. For instance, if a strong earthquake occurs, Kyoceras R&D or manufacturing facilities will be damaged devastatingly. In this case, Kyoceras operating activities would be suspended and
manufacturing and shipment would be delayed. Due to this, Kyocera would lose its sales and profits. Furthermore, Kyocera may incur a great amount of expenses, for example, medical care expenses for injured employees and damage expenses for the
damaged machines or facilities will be incurred. As a consequence, Kyoceras operating result and financial condition may be adversely affected.

##### Table of Contents

(13) Kyocera may have to incur impairment losses on its investments in equity securities



Kyocera holds investments in equity securities of companies not affiliated with itself,
which Kyocera generally holds on a long-term basis for business relationship purposes. A substantial portion of these investments consists of shares of common stock of public companies in Japan, including KDDI Corporation (a Japanese
telecommunication service provider), and Japanese financial institutions. As of March 31, 2006, the aggregate fair value of equity securities included in available-for-sale securities was ¥415,950 million ($3,555 million), with gross
unrealized gains in the amount of ¥141,059 million ($1,206 million) and gross unrealized losses in the amount of ¥94million ($1 million). If there is a decline in the fair value, i.e., the market price, of the shares Kyocera holds in those
companies over a period of time, and it determines that the decline is other-than-temporary, Kyocera will need to record an impairment loss for the applicable fiscal period. During fiscal 2006, Kyocera recorded losses on impairment of investment
securities in the amount of ¥385 million ($3 million), mainly due to managements estimation that certain non-public companies in which Kyocera invested would need considerable time to show profitability in their operating activities. For
some of the equity securities Kyocera owns, including the shares of KDDI Corporation, Kyocera intends to keep its ownership at the current level in light of the importance of its business relationships with the issuers of these equity securities.
For other equity securities in its portfolio, although Kyocera may dispose of them over time, market conditions may not permit it to do so at the time, speed or price it may wish.



(14) As a holder of ADSs, you will have fewer rights than a shareholder has and you will have to act through the depositary to
exercise those rights



The rights of shareholders under Japanese law
to take various actions, including voting their shares, receiving dividends and distributions, bringing derivative actions, examining a companys accounting books and records and exercising appraisal rights, are available only to holders of
record. Because the depositary, through its custodian agents, is the record holder of the Shares underlying the ADSs, only the depositary can exercise those rights in connection with the deposited Shares. The depositary will make efforts to vote the
Shares underlying your ADSs as instructed by you and will pay to you the dividends and distributions collected from us. However, in your capacity as an ADS holder, you will not be able to bring a derivative action, examine our accounting books and
records or exercise appraisal rights through the depositary.



(15) Rights
of shareholders under Japanese law may be more limited than under the law of other jurisdictions



Our Articles of Incorporation, Regulations of the Board of Directors, Regulations of the Board of Corporate Auditors and the Japanese Commercial Code govern our corporate affairs. Legal principles relating to such
matters as the validity of corporate procedures, directors and officers fiduciary duties and shareholders rights may be different from those that would apply if we were a U.S. company. Shareholders rights under Japanese law
may not be as extensive as shareholders rights under the laws of the United States. You may have more difficulty in asserting your rights as a shareholder than you would as a shareholder of a U.S. corporation. In addition, Japanese courts may
not be willing to enforce liabilities against us in actions brought in Japan which are based upon the securities laws of the United States or any U.S. state.



(16) Because of daily price range limitations under Japanese stock exchange rules, you may not be able to sell your shares of our Common Stock at a particular price
on any particular trading day, or at all



Stock prices on Japanese
stock exchanges are determined on a real-time basis by the equilibrium between bids and offers. These exchanges are order-driven markets without specialists or market makers to guide price formation. To prevent excessive volatility, these exchanges
set daily upward and downward price fluctuation limits for each stock, based on the previous days closing price. Although transactions may continue at the upward or downward limit price if the limit price is reached on a particular trading
day, no transactions may take place outside these limits. Consequently, an investor wishing to sell at a price above or below the relevant daily limit may not be able to sell his or her shares at such price on a particular trading day, or at all.

##### Table of Contents

(17) Foreign exchange fluctuations may affect the dollar value of our ADSs and dividends payable to holders of our
ADSs



Market prices for our ADSs may fall if the value of the yen
declines against the U.S. dollar. In addition, the U.S. dollar amount of cash dividends and other cash payments made to holders of our ADSs would be reduced if the value of the yen declines against the U.S. dollar.



Item 4. Information on Kyocera Corporation and its Consolidated Subsidiaries



A. History and Development of Kyocera Corporation and its Consolidated Subsidiaries



Kyocera Corporation is a joint stock corporation that was incorporated under the laws of Japan in 1959 with the name Kyoto Ceramic Kabushiki Kaisha. Its name was changed
to Kyocera Kabushiki Kaisha (or Kyocera Corporation) in 1982. Our corporate headquarters is at 6 Takeda Tobadono-cho, Fushimi-ku, Kyoto 612-8501, Japan. Our telephone number is +81-75-604-3500.



Our business originally consisted of the manufacture of ceramic parts for electronic
equipment. In the 1960s, we expanded our business and technology horizontally into the design and production of fine ceramic parts, ceramic integrated circuit (IC) packages and electronic components. In the 1970s, we began to
produce consumer-related products, including cutting tools, ceramics for medical and dental uses, jewelry and solar energy products.



In the 1980s, we diversified into new strategic fields. In 1982, we merged with Cybernet Electronics Corporation, a telecommunications equipment manufacturer in
which we had made an equity investment three years earlier. We expanded into another new business through the acquisition of Yashica Co., Ltd., a camera and camera lens manufacturer. We also played a leading role in the establishment of DDI
Corporation (currently KDDI Corporation), which has become one of Japans leading providers of telecommunications services. In 1989, we gained a presence in the electronic connector market through our acquisition of Elco International
Corporation (currently Kyocera Elco Corporation).



In the 1990s, we
strengthened our position as an internationally integrated electronic components manufacturer through our acquisition of AVX Corporation, a maker of capacitors and other passive electronic components, in January 1990.



In the middle of the 1990s, Kyocera developed two main business categories, the
components business, in which Kyocera provides parts and devices such as fine ceramics parts, semiconductor parts, electronic components and devices and applied ceramic products to mainly electronic equipment manufacturers in IT industrial
fields, and the equipment business, in which Kyocera manufactures and sells telecommunications and information equipment and optical instruments, such as mobile handsets, PHS-related products, copiers, multifunctional products, printers,
and digital still cameras to distributors or directly to customers.



Since
2000, we have further enhanced our position as a market leader in telecommunications and information equipment. In February 2000, we acquired the code division multiple access (CDMA) mobile phone handset business from QUALCOMM Inc. to
create our U.S. subsidiary, Kyocera Wireless Corp. In April 2000, we invested in Kyocera Mita Corporation, a manufacturer of copiers and other document solutions equipment, to make it a wholly-owned subsidiary, and in April 2002, we transferred
Kyocera Corporations printer business into Kyocera Mita Corporation to further enhance our information equipment business by pursuing group synergies.

##### Table of Contents

In addition, we also strengthened the components business resources to become a leading company in IT-related
applications. In August 2002, we made Toshiba Chemical Corporation (currently Kyocera Chemical Corporation) a wholly-owned subsidiary through a share exchange in order to reinforce its electronic components and materials businesses by pursuing group
synergies between fine chemical technologies and fine ceramic technologies.



With the aim of becoming a more global enterprise and enhancing its profitability, Kyocera has been expanding its production in China through three Chinese production bases located in Shanghai, Dongguan and Guiyang. Kyocera also established
a sales company, Kyocera (Tianjin) Sales and Trading Corporation, in March 2003 to cultivate the Chinese market. We are enhancing our marketing ability for both our products manufactured in China as well as our products imported into China. In
addition, we established a subsidiary, Kyocera (Tianjin) Solar Energy Co., Ltd. to assemble solar modules, production of which commenced in November 2003, and to respond to market needs swiftly.



In August 2003, we made Kinseki, Limited (currently Kyocera Kinseki Corporation), a major
producer of artificial crystal-related products, a wholly-owned subsidiary through a share exchange to strengthen our Electronic Device Group. In addition, to further enhance our organic circuit board business by pursuing group synergies, we also
made an agreement with IBM Corporation and IBM Japan, Ltd. for the transfer from IBM Japan to Kyocera of its Surface Laminar Circuitry (SLC) business and we completed the transfer of IBM Japans SLC business from IBM Japan to a
newly-established wholly-owned subsidiary, Kyocera SLC Technologies Corporation in August 2003. In April 2004, Kyocera integrated the organic material components business into Kyocera SLC Technologies Corporation and the marketing division of
Kyocera Kinseki Corporation was merged into the marketing division of the electronic components of Kyocera Corporation and the manufacturing division of crystal related components of Kyocera Corporation was transferred to Kyocera Kinseki Corporation
through corporate splits. In organic circuit board business, Kyocera SLC Technologies Corporation established Kyocera SLC Components Corporation as a manufacturing company of build-up substrates in Ayabe, Kyoto Prefecture in August 2004.



In September 2004, Kyocera and Kobe Steel, Ltd. established Japan Medical Materials
Corporation (JMM) and Kyocera Corporation transferred its medical materials business to Japan Medical Materials Corporation through corporate splits. The shareholding ratios of Kyocera and Kobe Steel in Japan Medical Materials Corporation are
77% and 23%, respectively.



In October 2004, Kyocera Corporation invested in
WILLCOM, Inc. which succeeded PHS business provided by DDI Pocket Inc. to enhance PHS-related business.



To meet with strong demand of solar energy products, Kyocera established Kyocera Solar Europe S.R.O. for assembling of solar modules in the Czech Republic in April 2005.



For a discussion of recent and current capital expenditures, please see Item 5
Operating and Financial Review and Prospects  of this Form 20-F. We have had no recent significant divestitures nor are any significant divestitures currently being made.

affiliates in Japan. Our customers include individuals, corporations, governments and governmental agencies. For information on our sales by category of activity and information on our sales by geographic area and product segment, see Item 5.A
Operating Results of this Form 20-F.



Business Strategy



Kyocera aims to be a company respected by society from the
perspective of corporate ethics, while maintaining continuous sales growth and high profitability. To achieve this management vision, Kyoceras management policy is to further drive business expansion to be a creative company that
continues to grow. Kyocera promotes efficient resource management and emphasizes consolidated group management and intends to increase corporate value (aggregate market value of its shares) through improvement of business performance.



Management Strategies



Kyocera promotes high-value-added diversification as its management strategy to
realize its management policy. By making each individual business highly profitable and maximizing group synergies, Kyocera seeks to propel continuous corporate growth even in a tough, rapidly changing business environment.



In particular, Kyocera aims to: (1) exploit competitive advantages; (2) strengthen
existing businesses; and (3) create new businesses.



(1) Exploit competitive advantages



The
Kyocera Philosophy, a corporate philosophy of Kyocera that is run with faith in the human spirit, and the so-called amoeba management system, which has been a unique management system of Kyocera based on small business units
and has been a driving force for corporate growth since Kyocera Corporation was founded, as well as its strong financial basis have been Kyoceras particular competitive advantages in promoting its diversification strategy. Leveraging off this
base, Kyocera will focus its energies into two high-growth-potential areas going forward, namely the markets for telecommunications and information processing and for environmental preservation. By establishing further competitive advantages in
technology, and sales and marketing, Kyocera intends to improve business performance through its diversification strategy.



(2) Strengthen existing businesses



Kyocera plans to improve the profitability of each existing business on a daily basis and improve profitability of each reporting segment on a consolidated business by
deepening the ties between Kyocera Group companies and each Corporate Business Group of Kyocera Corporation to pursue maximization of synergies. Kyocera will also employ a global strategy in each business and integrate group-wide management
resources to establish a structure well-suited to undertake research and development, production and sales at optimal locations. As a result, Kyocera plans to enhance the competitive edge of each of its existing businesses. Kyocera also regularly
reviews those businesses that have lost market competitiveness or where significant performance improvement is not expected in the future.

##### Table of Contents

(3) Create new businesses



Kyocera will create new core businesses to spur growth over the medium to long term by integrating group-wide management resources and
developing new technologies, products and markets. Special emphasis will be placed on generating new business domains in the markets for telecommunications and information processing and for environmental preservation.



Challenges



Kyocera promotes high-value-added diversification as its management strategy, and aims to be a creative company that continues
to grow. To achieve this management policy, Kyocera seeks to improve the profitability of its component and equipment businesses, and is working to rapidly attain a pre-tax income ratio of over 15% or more on a group-wide basis. Toward this goal,
Kyocera will strive to further strengthen its business foundation.



The
following outlines specific measures being undertaken to accomplish this goal.



(1) Further strengthen amoeba management system



Kyoceras aims to further strengthen its management system, in which small business units called amoeba independently
develop their operations, has been a driving force for corporate growth since Kyoceras foundation. As Kyocera believes its management system offers a superior competitive advantage over rival companies, Kyocera aims to further strengthen this
management system. Kyocera will further seek to thoroughly implement this management system and enhance it in its development, manufacturing, sales and marketing departments, to in turn improve the ability to achieve objectives. In particular,
Kyocera is working to strengthen its capabilities in manufacturing, which is the profit center of Kyocera.



(2) Translate results of strategic investments and structural reforms into improved performance



Kyocera aims to ensure that strategic investment during fiscal 2006 will translate into
improved performance in fiscal 2007 and beyond. Concrete initiatives include launching new businesses and improving profitability in the components business, especially the Fine Ceramic Parts Group (ceramic parts for LCD fabrication equipment), the
Semiconductor Parts Group (ceramic packages and organic packages) and the Applied Ceramic Products Group (solar energy products and cutting tools). Kyocera also expects structural reforms implemented in fiscal 2006 to lead to increased sales and
profit.



(3) Promote commercialization of
strategic businesses from a medium term perspective



Kyocera plans to promote
the commercialization of new businesses that will be key growth drivers for Kyocera in the medium term. In addition to pursuing business expansion in prospective markets including ceramic parts for diesel engines, Kyocera aims to realize practical
application of next-generation solar cells and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), and to ensure that these businesses contribute to its business performance in a timely manner.

Domestic sales are made in the yen, while overseas sales are made in a variety of currencies, but predominantly in the
U.S. dollars and Euro.



Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and
Supplies



We purchase a variety of raw materials. The principal ones
in terms of volume are alumina (a mineral substance produced from bauxite and from which aluminum is made), zircon, titania, silicon nitride, tungsten and tantalum, used for the products of the Fine Ceramic Parts Group, the Semiconductor Parts
Group, the Applied Fine Ceramics Group and the Electronic Device Group. Each of these materials is subject to price volatility. In terms of costs, gold, which is primarily used in the production process for IC packages in the Semiconductor Parts
Group is also subject to price volatility, and is the most significant raw material. Our policy is to protect ourselves from fluctuations in the price of gold by keeping a small gold inventory and by pricing products generally on a gold
adder system so that customers pay for the gold contained in semiconductor parts at a rate which approximates our cost. Our main supplies are ICs, Liquid Crystals and Printed Circuit Board, used for the products of the Electronic Device Group,
the Telecommunications Equipment Group and the Information Equipment Group, such as thin-film devices, mobile handsets, printers, copiers and optical instruments.



As we typically receive our supply of these raw materials and supplies from several large companies which we believe are reliable sources,
we have not generally experienced, and we do not anticipate experiencing in the near future, any difficulty in obtaining raw materials or supplies, or in meeting fuel requirements. Although oil prices have risen recently, the increases have not
materially affected our purchase price of certain oil-related supplies.



During
fiscal 2006, no single supplier accounted for a significant portion of our consolidated purchases of raw materials and supplies. However, a number of components and sub-assemblies used in our products are sourced to sole source suppliers. These tend
to be complex, precision components that are sometimes produced only by a limited number of suppliers or a single supplier that may own intellectual property related to the component or sub-assembly.



Patents and Licenses



Our success and competitive position depend on a number of significant patents, licenses and
trade secrets relating to our manufacturing and sales processes and products. The following table sets forth information, as of March 31, 2006, with respect to our significant patents and license agreements.

Corporations manufacturing process for ceramic capacitors to improve productivity and to enhance our competitiveness. In addition, AVX Corporation introduced our materials technologies into its ceramic capacitor production. We have been
seeking better ways to cooperate in expanding our electronic device businesses. Currently, four of our directors are members of AVX Corporations board of directors and AVX Corporations chief executive officer is one of our directors.
Within the Electronic Device Group, we have a close relationship with AVX Corporation in marketing, manufacturing, and research and development, and we are seeking and pursuing synergies to be a leading passive component manufacturer. AVX
Corporation posted net income of $81,752 thousand in fiscal 2006, compared to $55,732 thousand in fiscal 2005, and its strong performance contributed significantly to Kyoceras results of operations and financial condition for fiscal 2005 and

Overview



Kyocera develops, produces and distributes various kinds of products globally for the telecommunications and information processing and environmental protection markets.
Kyocera Corporation was established in 1959 as a manufacturer of ceramic parts for electronic equipment and has been expanding and diversifying its business mainly through active merger and acquisition activities, as well as applying its ceramic
technologies to the areas of semiconductor parts, electronic components, telecommunication, metal processing, medical and dental implants and solar energy fields. Kyocera develops, produces and distributes a variety of parts and devices for
electronic equipment such as computers, auto-mobiles, printers and copiers as well as consumer electronic products such as mobile phone handsets. Kyocera earns revenue and income and generates cash from sales of these products.



Kyocera divides its worldwide operations into eight reporting segments for its financial
reporting purposes: the Fine Ceramic Parts Group, the Semiconductor Parts Group, the Applied Ceramic Products Group, the Electronic Device Group, the Telecommunications Equipment Group, the Information Equipment Group, the Optical Equipment Group
and Others. Kyocera categorizes the Fine Ceramic Parts Group, the Semiconductor Parts Group, the Applied Ceramic Products Group and the Electronic Device Group into one main business referred to the components business, and also
categorizes the Telecommunications Equipment Group, the Information Equipment Group and the Optical Equipment Group into another main business referred to the equipment business.



Kyoceras revenue and profits mostly come through sales of products and providing
services in the telecommunications and information processing markets. In the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the business environment was severe in the electronics industry, which is a key market for Kyocera, as recovery in demand was moderate while
components prices declined significantly. Nonetheless, the business environment made an about-turn last summer. Not only has production of core digital consumer products such as mobile phone handsets, PCs and digital home appliances expanded
remarkably, but demand for related electronic components also maintained an upward trend until the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.



In this market condition, consolidated net sales in fiscal 2006 remained roughly the same as in fiscal 2005, while profits increased due to a substantial improvement in
the equipment business as a result of the positive effects of structural reforms.

Net sales



Consolidated net sales in fiscal 2006 increased by ¥834 million ($7 million), or 0.1%,
to ¥1,181,489 million ($10,098 million) compared with ¥1,180,655 million in fiscal 2005.



In the component business, demand for electronic equipment only showed a slight recovery in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, and performance was affected negatively by a considerable decline in component prices. In
the equipment business, structural reforms of the mobile phone handset business at Kyocera Wireless Corp., a U.S. subsidiary, were conducted in the first half of fiscal 2006. At the same time, the camera business of the Optical Equipment Group was
considerably reduced. As a result, consolidated net sales in the first half amounted to ¥545,258 million ($4,660 million).

On the other hand, production activities for core digital consumer equipment such as mobile phone handsets, PCs and
digital home appliances expanded markedly from last summer. Furthermore, demand for electronic components remained high into the fourth quarter. In addition, the introduction of new mobile phone handsets and PHS-related products coupled with
aggressive efforts in expanding sales of printers and digital- multifunction products led to a substantial increase in sales in the equipment business in the second half. Consequently, consolidated net sales in the second half were ¥636,231
million ($5,438 million), which showed a significant increase of ¥90,973 million ($778 million), or 16.7%, compared with the first half.



Consolidated net sales in the components business in fiscal 2006 increased by ¥23,272 million ($199 million), or 4.2%, compared with fiscal 2005. In particular, sales
in the Applied Ceramic Products Group were strong throughout the year, notably solar energy products and cutting tools. Sales in the Applied Ceramic Products Group resulted in an increase of ¥23,676 million ($202 million), or 25.2%, compared
with fiscal 2005.



Consolidated net sales in the equipment business decreased
by ¥34,476 million ($295 million), or 6.5%, compared with fiscal 2005. Sales in the Telecommunications Equipment Group and the Optical Equipment Group declined by ¥21,883 million ($187 million) and ¥20,829 million ($178 million), or 8.7%
and 58.2%, respectively, compared with fiscal 2005, due to continued structural reforms.

(1)
Fine Ceramic Parts Group



Sales in this reporting segment in fiscal 2006
decreased by ¥4,338 million ($37 million), or 5.9%, to ¥69,373 million ($593 million) compared with ¥73,711 million in fiscal 2005. This decrease was due to less demand for ceramic parts used in semiconductor fabrication equipment than
in fiscal 2005, and to decreased sales of sapphire products for LCD projectors resulting from intensified market competition with other substitute materials.

(2) Semiconductor Parts Group



Sales in this reporting segment increased by ¥7,339 million ($63 million), or 5.7%, to
¥135,299 million ($1,156 million) compared with ¥127,960 million in fiscal 2005. Demand for ceramic packages for digital consumer products such as mobile phone handsets and digital cameras recovered in the second half. Furthermore, sales of
organic packages for servers and digital consumer products increased. Approximately 85% of sales in this reporting segment were sales of ceramic packages.



(3) Applied Ceramic Products Group



Sales in this reporting segment increased by ¥23,676 million ($202 million), or 25.2%, to ¥117,555 million ($1,005 million) compared with ¥93,879 million in
fiscal 2005. This increase was due to strong sales growth recorded in the solar energy business amid an expanding global market spurred by rising environmental awareness. Sales of cutting tools also grew due to healthy production activity in the
automobile industry.



(4) Electronic Device
Group



Sales in this reporting segment decreased by ¥3,405 million ($29
million), or 1.3%, to ¥259,592 million ($2,219 million) compared with ¥262,997 million in fiscal 2005. Components demand for digital consumer products such as mobile phone handsets started to recover last summer. However, this was
insufficient to compensate for a decline in sales in the first half of fiscal 2006, mainly due to slow sales of thin-film devices resulting from decreased demand for LCDs for mobile phone handsets and crystal related components for digital still
cameras and mobile phone handsets. However sales at AVX Corporation, a key subsidiary in this reporting segment, grew steadily, especially in the digital consumer equipment and telecommunications equipment markets.



(5) Telecommunications Equipment Group



Sales in this reporting segment decreased by ¥21,883 million ($187 million), or 8.7%, to
¥229,035 million ($1,958 million) compared with ¥250,918 million in fiscal 2005. Although domestic sales of new mobile phone handsets and PHS handsets were strong, overseas sales of mobile phone handsets decreased as Kyocera Wireless Corp.
was in the process of executing structural reforms in the first half of fiscal 2006. Slow overseas sales of PHS-related products also contributed to the decrease.



(6) Information Equipment Group



Sales in this reporting segment increased by ¥8,236 million ($70 million), or 3.4%, to ¥249,381 million ($2,131 million) compared
with ¥241,145 million in fiscal 2005. This increase reflected the introduction of new printers and digital multifunction products and encouraged sales activities, which contributed to higher sales volume.



(7) Optical Equipment Group



Sales in this reporting segment decreased by ¥20,829 million ($178 million), or 58.2%,
to ¥14,947 million ($128 million) compared with ¥35,776 million in fiscal 2005. The main reason for the considerable decrease was the withdrawal from the digital still camera business as a result of the structural reform of Kyoceras
camera business in fiscal 2005.



|(8) | Others
|--- | ------



Sales in this reporting segment increased by ¥6,934 million ($59 million), or 5.9%, to ¥124,974 million ($1,068 million) compared with ¥118,040 million in fiscal 2005. The increase was due in part to
strong sales recorded in the telecommunications engineering business of Kyocera Communication Systems Co., Ltd. Sales at a subsidiary of Kyocera Communication Systems Co., Ltd., which was newly consolidated in fiscal 2005, also contributed to the
overall increase in sales. However, sales of Kyocera Chemical Corporation decreased compared with fiscal 2005 due to slow sales of molding products and flexible print boards.

Sales in Japan, which comprised 40.2%
of consolidated net sales, increased by ¥2,563 million ($22 million), or 0.5%, to ¥474,980 million ($4,060 million) compared with ¥472,417 million in fiscal 2005 due to sales growth in solar energy products, mobile phone handsets and
PHS-related products. Overseas sales, which comprised 59.8% of consolidated net sales, decreased by ¥1,729 million ($15 million), or 0.2%, to ¥706,509 million ($6,039 million) compared with ¥708,238 million in fiscal 2005 due primarily
to decreased sales in the Telecommunications Equipment Group.



Since almost all
overseas sales were denominated in the U.S. dollars or Euro, the depreciation of the yen against these currencies during fiscal 2006 increased consolidated net sales by approximately ¥32.2 billion ($275 million) compared with fiscal 2005 after
translation into the yen.



An increase in sales in Japan was attributed to the
strong growth in solar energy products, mobile phone handsets and PHS-related products, combined with steady sales growth in the telecommunications engineering business of Kyocera Communication Systems Co., Ltd., which is based in Japan.



Sales in the United States increased by ¥5,363 million ($46 million), or 2.2%, to
¥253,696 million ($2,168 million) compared with ¥248,333 million in fiscal 2005. Although sales in the Telecommunications Equipment Group in the United States declined due to continued structural reforms at Kyocera Wireless Corp., sales in
the Electronic Device Group, the solar energy business and the Information Equipment Group increased.

with ¥203,848 million in fiscal 2005. Although sales in solar energy business and cutting tools business in the Applied Ceramic Products Group and sales in the Electronic Group grew, sales in the Telecommunications Equipment Group, especially
mobile phone handsets, decreased.



Sales in Europe increased by ¥8,501
million ($73 million), or 4.8%, to ¥184,351 million ($1,576 million) compared with ¥175,850 million in fiscal 2005 due mainly to growth in the solar energy business amid continued market expansion.



Sales in Others decreased by ¥10,476 million ($90 million), or 13.1%, to ¥69,731
million ($596 million) compared with ¥80,207 million in fiscal 2005 due to decreased sales of the Telecommunications Equipment Group in Latin America, particularly mobile phone handsets.



Cost of sales and gross profit



In fiscal 2006, cost of sales decreased by ¥16,772 million ($143 million), or 2.0%, to
¥838,295 million ($7,165 million) from ¥855,067 million in fiscal 2005. Raw material costs of ¥345,309 million ($2,951 million) accounted for 41.2%, and labor costs of ¥156,363 million ($1,336 million) accounted for 18.7% of this
total. The ratio of cost of sales to net sales was 71.0%, a decrease of 1.4 points compared with 72.4% in fiscal 2005. In fiscal 2005, Kyocera recorded ¥5,421 million of one time expenses in line with structural reforms in the Telecommunications
Equipment Group and the Optical Equipment Group. Cost of sales in fiscal 2006 decreased due mainly to outsourcing the manufacture of mobile phone handsets at Kyocera Wireless Corp. to Flextronics International Ltd., a leading provider of electronics
manufacturing services, in the Telecommunications Equipment Group and to significantly downsizing of the camera business in the Optical Equipment Group.



As a result, gross profit increased by ¥17,606 million ($150 million), or 5.4%, in fiscal 2006 to ¥343,194 million ($2,933 million) from ¥325,588 million in
fiscal 2005. The gross profit ratio increased by 1.4 points from 27.6% to 29.0%.



SG&A expenses and profit from operations



Selling, general
and administrative (SG&A) expenses in fiscal 2006 increased by ¥15,367 million ($131 million), or 6.8%, to ¥239,987 million ($2,051 million) compared with ¥224,620 million in fiscal 2005. Labor cost was ¥115,370 million ($986
million), or 48.1% of total SG&A expenses, and sales promotion and advertising cost was ¥38,274 million ($327 million), or 15.9% of total SG&A expenses. The proportion of SG&A expenses to net sales rose by 1.3 points to 20.3% in
fiscal 2006 compared with 19.0% in fiscal 2005. The increase in SG&A expenses in fiscal 2006 reflected an increase in costs associated with aggressive R&D activities for new businesses and new products. As a result, profit from operations
increased by ¥2,239 million ($19 million), or 2.2%, to ¥103,207 million ($882 million) compared with ¥100,968 million in fiscal 2005. The operating margin rose by 0.1 point to 8.7% in fiscal 2006 compared with 8.6% in fiscal 2005.



Interest and dividend income



Interest and dividend income in fiscal 2006 increased by ¥2,572 million ($22 million),
or 40.2%, to ¥8,968 million ($77 million) compared with ¥6,396 million in fiscal 2005. This was mainly due to an increase in dividend income from KDDI Corporation and favorable fund management results at AVX Corporation. Kyocera has an
investment policy aimed at low risk, stability and liquidity, and does not typically invest in high-risk financial instruments only for pursuing profits.



Interest expense



Interest expense in fiscal 2006 increased by ¥26 million ($0 million), or 2.0%, to ¥1,301 million ($11 million) compared with ¥1,275 million in fiscal 2005. Though interest rates in the Japanese financial
market were on a slight upward trend, there was not material impact on interest expense.

Foreign currency translation



During fiscal 2006, the yen depreciated by ¥5, or 4.6%, against the U.S. dollar and depreciated by ¥3, or 2.2%, against Euro
compared with fiscal 2005, respectively. At March 31, 2006, the yen depreciated by ¥10, or 9.3%, against the U.S. dollar and depreciated by ¥4, or 2.9%, against Euro compared with at March 31, 2005, respectively. Kyocera recorded
foreign currency transaction losses of ¥316 million ($3 million) in fiscal 2006.



Kyocera typically enters into forward exchange contracts to minimize currency exchange risks on foreign currency denominated receivables and payables. Kyocera confines its use of derivative financial instruments to the hedging of its
foreign exchange exposures, and does not utilize derivative transactions for trading purposes.



Gains and losses from investments



In
fiscal 2006, Kyoceras earnings or losses on equity method investments resulted in losses of ¥1,216 million ($10 million), a decrease of ¥462 million ($4 million) compared with losses of ¥1,678 million in fiscal 2005.



Kyoceras equity in earnings or losses of affiliates and unconsolidated subsidiaries in
fiscal 2006 was derived mainly from interests in WILLCOM, Inc. Kyocera Corporation owns a 30% interest in WILLCOM, Inc., which operates a PHS service. Kyocera Corporation accounted for this investment using the equity method. Net losses at WILLCOM,
Inc. decreased compared with fiscal 2005 due to one time expenses related to the business acquisition in fiscal 2005. As a result, Kyoceras loss on its equity method investment decreased.



Kyocera Corporation owned a 36.02% interest in Taito Corporation, a major affiliate which
operates in the electric amusement business and accounted for by the equity method. On September 28, 2005, Kyocera Corporation sold its entire holding of shares of Taito Corporation in a tender offer bid for the shares of Taito Corporation by
Square Enix Co., Ltd., a Japanese game software developer. As a result of this sale of the shares of Taito Corporation, Kyocera recorded a gain on sales of investment in an affiliate of ¥6,931 million ($59 million).



Kyocera Mita Corporation owns a 30% interest in Triumph-Adler AG Group, a distributor of
office equipment and accounted for its investment by the equity method. Kyocera recognized loss on impairment of investment in an affiliate of ¥3,492 million ($30 million) due to an extended decline in its market value in fiscal 2006.



Following the merger of Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group, Inc. and UFJ
Holdings, Inc., on October 1, 2005, Kyoceras shares of UFJ Holdings, Inc. were exchanged for the shares of the new company, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. As a result of this share exchange, Kyocera recorded a gain of ¥5,281
million ($45 million) in the third quarter of fiscal 2006.



Income before
income taxes



The Applied Ceramic Products Group, especially the solar
energy business, recorded higher sales, although sales in the Electronics Device Group significantly declined in the first half. As a result, operating profit in the components business decreased compared with fiscal 2005. In contrast, operating
profit in the equipment business increased compared with fiscal 2005. The increase in operating profit reflected benefits of structural reforms in the Optical Equipment Group and the Telecommunication Equipment Group in fiscal 2005. Consequently,
income before income taxes increased by ¥13,858 million ($118 million), or 12.9%, to ¥121,388 million ($1,038 million) compared with ¥107,530 million in fiscal 2005.

(1)
Fine Ceramic Parts Group



Operating profit in this reporting segment decreased
by ¥521 million ($4 million), or 4.5%, to ¥11,014 million ($94 million) compared with ¥11,535 million in fiscal 2005. This was primarily due to the decrease in sales of parts for semiconductor fabrication equipment and sapphire products
for LCD projectors, the core products in this reporting segment.



(2) Semiconductor Parts Group



Operating
profit in this reporting segment increased by ¥192 million ($2 million), or 1.1%, to ¥17,742 million ($152 million) compared with ¥17,550 million in fiscal 2005. Operating profit was impacted by an increase in depreciation costs combined
with capital expenditures of ¥24,136 million ($206 million) geared towards business expansion, including the construction of a new plant for organic packages. Profit from increased sales of ceramic packages, however, led to a slight increase in
overall operating profit in this reporting segment.



(3) Applied Ceramic Products Group



Operating profit in this
reporting segment increased by ¥4,747 million ($41 million), or 27.7%, to ¥21,876 million ($187 million) compared with ¥17,129 million in fiscal 2005. Increased sales and enhanced productivity of solar energy business and cutting tools
business, core areas in this reporting segment, led to an increase in operating profit. In particular, effective utilization of four production bases located globally enhanced productivity and led to a significant increase in profit in the solar
energy business, despite a trend of increases in raw material costs.

(4) Electronic Device Group



Operating profit in this reporting segment decreased by ¥8,236 million ($70 million), or
23.3%, to ¥27,170 million ($232 million) compared with ¥35,406 million in fiscal 2005. Component demand for digital consumer products began to recover last summer, which contributed to a marked improvement in operating profit in the second
half. Nonetheless, a decline in demand for thin-film devices combined with stagnant demand and declining unit prices, especially in components for mobile phone handsets in the first half which contributed to the decrease in operating profit.



(5) Telecommunications Equipment Group



Operating loss in this reporting segment improved significantly by
¥13,212 million ($113 million) to ¥1,706 million ($15 million) compared with ¥14,918 million in fiscal 2005. Despite a one time expense of approximately ¥3.1 billion ($26 million) recorded in fiscal 2006 in line with structural
reforms at Kyocera Wireless Corp. that included the transfer of mobile phone handsets manufacturing operations to Flextronics International Ltd., operating profits from sales of mobile phone handsets and PHS handsets in the domestic market
increased.



(6) Information Equipment Group



Operating profit in this reporting segment decreased by ¥9,774 million ($
84 million), or 27.0%, to ¥26,412 million ($226 million) compared with ¥36,186 million in fiscal 2005. This was due mainly to a decline in product prices amid intensified global market competition and increased development costs for color
printers and digital multifunction products equipped with solutions for business expansion. R&D expenses in this reporting segment increased by ¥3,146 million ($27 million) compared with fiscal 2005.



(7) Optical Equipment Group



Operating loss in this reporting segment improved by ¥9,613 million ($82 million) to
¥5,774 million ($49 million) compared with ¥15,387 million in fiscal 2005. The downsizing of the camera business, which included the withdrawal of the digital camera business, led to the reduction in operating loss.



(8) Others



Operating profit in this reporting segment decreased by ¥459 million ($4 million), or
3.5%, to ¥12,560 million ($107 million) compared with ¥13,019 million in fiscal 2005. This was due mainly to a decline in sales at Kyocera Chemical Corporation.



(9) Corporate



Corporate income and losses constitute income and expenses related to the provision of management-related services by Kyoceras head office to each reporting
segment, together with any profit-and-loss items that management judges not to belong within the above reporting segments, such as gains or losses on valuation of investment securities. Corporate income increased by ¥4,675 million ($40 million),
or 53.8%, to ¥13,358 million ($114 million) compared with ¥8,683 million in fiscal 2005. Interest and dividends were the main contributors. In addition, income in fiscal 2006 included a gain of ¥6,931 million ($59 million) through the
sale of all of Kyoceras shares of Taito Corporation, a gain of ¥5,281 million ($45 million) on shares of UFJ Holdings, Inc. in connection with the exchange of shares for the shares of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. and a loss of
¥3,492 million ($30 million) on impairment of the investment in Triumph-Adler AG Group, an affiliate of Kyocera Mita Corporation. As a result, corporate gain increased compared with fiscal 2005.

Taxes



Current and deferred income taxes in fiscal 2006 decreased by ¥11,177 million ($96 million), or 19.1%, to ¥47,303 million ($404 million) compared with ¥58,480
million in fiscal 2005. The effective tax rate of 39.0% in fiscal 2006 was 15.4 points lower than 54.4% in fiscal 2005. The amount of income taxes in fiscal 2005 included the additional income taxes of ¥12,748 million by receiving a notice of
tax assessment based on transfer pricing adjustments from the Osaka Regional Tax Bureau stating that, in the Bureaus judgment, allocation of profit earned from transfers of products between Kyocera Corporation and its overseas subsidiaries was
not appropriate from fiscal 1999 to fiscal 2003.



Minority interests



Kyoceras minority interests are principally related to AVX
Corporation, which accounted for approximately 30% of all minority ownership interests. Minority interests increased by ¥1,247 million ($11 million) to ¥4,389 million ($38 million) in fiscal 2006 compared with ¥3,142 million in fiscal
2005. This was mainly due to a large increase in net income at AVX Corporation.



Structural reforms



In the Telecommunications Equipment
Group, Kyocera transferred production location of Kyocera Wireless Corp. to Mexico in fiscal 2005. The purpose of this move is to reduce costs in response to cost competition from rival companies. Kyocera recorded ¥503 million as headcount
reduction costs related to this transfer of production.



In fiscal 2006,
Kyocera outsourced the manufacture of mobile phone handsets of Kyocera Wireless Corp., and sold its manufacturing equipment and inventories to Flextronics International Ltd, a leading provider of electronics manufacturing services. Kyocera Wireless
Corp. reduced its manufacturing costs significantly and improved its profitability by taking cost-down activities upon its procurements of parts and materials through a strong promotion of the outsourcing to Flextronics International Ltd., and by
making fixed costs related to the manufacturing of mobile phone handsets into variable costs. Kyocera Wireless Corp. also focused its business operation on specializing in the research, development, sales and marketing of mobile phone handsets.



In the Optical Equipment Group, structural reform was focused on downsizing
the camera business. Since the acquisition of Yashica Co., Ltd. in 1983, Kyocera advanced its optical equipment business centered on the camera business under the CONTAX, KYOCERA and YASHICA brands. With the shift from still to digital cameras in
the camera market in 2004, Kyocera pushed ahead with the production and sale of digital cameras best suited to consumer needs. The digital camera market has expanded considerably on a global scale, however, and because the optical equipment business
was unable to achieve sufficient cost reductions to counter the ensuing intense cost competition with competitors, it was forced into a difficult business situation. As a result of extensive investigation into how to effectively utilize management
resources under the policies of business selection and concentration and high-value-added diversification, Kyocera started to downsize the Optical Equipment Group in fiscal 2005. As part of the program to scale back this
business, Kyocera closed two overseas sales companies, Yashica Kyocera GmbH Group and Kyocera Optics Inc., during fiscal 2005. Costs associated with the closure of two overseas sales companies amounted to ¥3,285 million, including expenses
mainly related to headcount reductions. In addition to the closure of overseas sales companies, a further ¥3,581 million of one time charge in fiscal 2005 was spent to downsize the domestic camera business. This included the implementation of
sales promotions to reduce inventory. During fiscal 2006, Kyocera completed its downsizing of the digital camera business.

Receipt of a notice of tax assessment based on transfer pricing adjustments and filing complaint against it



On March 28, 2005, Kyocera Corporation received a notice of tax
assessment based on transfer pricing adjustments from the Osaka Regional Tax Bureau stating that, in the Bureaus judgment, allocation of profit earned from the transfer of products between Kyocera Corporation and its overseas subsidiaries was
not appropriate for the five years from fiscal 1999 through fiscal 2003. The notice indicated that income should be adjusted upwards by ¥24,394 million and that resultant additional tax, including local taxes, etc., amounted to ¥12,748
million. On May 24, 2005, Kyocera Corporation filed a complaint against the tax assessment based on transfer pricing adjustments with the Osaka Regional Tax Bureau. Although the final resolution of the proposed tax assessment is not certain,
management believes the ultimate disposition of this matter will not have a material impact on the results of operations.



Investment in WILLCOM, Inc. in fiscal 2005



On June 21, 2004, the Carlyle Group, Kyocera, KDDI Corporation and DDI Pocket Inc. reached an agreement that a consortium of the Carlyle Group, Kyocera and KDDI
Corporation would acquire the business of DDI Pocket Inc., a subsidiary of KDDI Corporation. Under the agreement, the company that succeeds DDI Pockets business, the name of which was changed to WILLCOM, Inc. in February 2005, was invested 30%
by Kyocera. In cooperation with WILLCOM, Inc., Kyocera will endeavor to expand sales in its PHS-related business by carving out new markets in Japan as well as overseas.



Establishment of Japan Medical Materials Corporation in fiscal 2005



On May 21, 2004, Kyocera reached an agreement with Kobe Steel, Ltd. to merge the
medical material operations of both companies into a successor company, Japan Medical Materials Corporation, which was established on September 1, 2004. As a dedicated manufacturer of medical materials, the successor company is expected to
benefit from the integration of the specialized expertise of Kyocera and Kobe Steel, Ltd in material processing technologies, while maximizing synergies by integrating development, production and marketing divisions. It also seeks to expand its
business worldwide.

Net sales



In fiscal 2005, Kyoceras net sales increased by ¥39,841 million, or 3.5%, to
¥1,180,655 million compared with ¥1,140,814 million in fiscal 2004.



The increase in net sales was due mainly to growth in demand for major components used in mobile phone handsets, computer-related equipment and digital consumer products, which boosted revenues from sales in the Fine Ceramic Parts Group,
the Semiconductor Parts Group and the Electronic Device Group in the first half of fiscal 2005. The business environment in the second half of fiscal 2005 changed considerably from the first half of fiscal 2005. Components demand for mobile phone
handsets and digital consumer products slowed down, due to stagnant demand after the Olympic Games and production adjustment for reducing inventories by set manufacturers in the second half of fiscal 2005. Total sales in the Fine Ceramic Parts
Group, the Semiconductor Parts Group and the Electronic Device Group amounted to ¥217,810 million in the second half of fiscal 2005, a decrease of ¥29,048 million or 11.8%, compared with ¥246,858 million in the first half of fiscal 2005.
Full-year sales of these reporting segments increased by ¥30,220 million, or 7.0%, to ¥464,668 million compared with ¥434,448 million in fiscal 2004.

Sales in the Applied Ceramic Products Group and the Information Equipment Group rose by contributions of new products
through the year. Sales in the Applied Ceramic Products Group increased by ¥15,592 million, or 19.9% and sales in the Information Equipment Group increase by ¥26,953 million, or 12.6%, respectively. Conversely, revenue from the
Telecommunications Equipment Group in fiscal 2005 decreased by ¥51,869 million, or 17.1% compared with fiscal 2004, due to a delayed release of new CDMA mobile phone handsets to the North American market and stagnant demand for PHS-related
products caused by inventory reductions in China.



A detailed analysis and
discussion of Kyoceras net sales by the reporting and the geographic segments are as follows:

million compared with ¥256,906 million in fiscal 2004. A full year sales contribution from Kyocera Kinseki Corporation resulted in an increase in sales in this reporting segment. Sales of thin-film devices also expanded considerably, as sales
grew for LCDs both in Japan and overseas and for thermal printheads for digital photo printers. In addition, sales at AVX Corporation, which account for approximately 53% of the net sales in this reporting segment, and at Kyocera Kinseki
Corporation, grew steadily, supported by strong demand for digital consumer products through more active market environment for the electronic industry in the first half of fiscal 2005.



(5) Telecommunications Equipment Group



Sales in this reporting segment decreased by ¥51,869 million, or 17.1%, to ¥250,918 million compared with ¥302,787 million in
fiscal 2004. Sales of mobile phone handsets decreased both in Japan and overseas. Sales at Kyocera Wireless Corp. declined due to a delayed launch of new CDMA handsets in the United States and intensified price competition of mobile phone handsets.
Sales of mobile phone handsets in Japan also decreased, due to the delayed introduction of new models and negative impact of inventory reduction by a PDC carrier. Sales of PHS-related products dropped due to inventory reduction in China.



(6) Information Equipment Group



Sales in this reporting segment increased by ¥26,953 million, or 12.6%, to ¥241,145
million compared with ¥214,192 million in fiscal 2004. This increase was due to expanded sales of mid- and high-speed digital MFPs and the sales contribution of new models, such as low- and mid- speed models in Europe.



(7) Optical Equipment Group



Sales in this reporting segment increased by ¥6,479 million, or 22.1%, to ¥35,776
million compared with ¥29,297 million in fiscal 2004. In this reporting segment, Kyocera decided to downsize the camera business and focus on the optical components business. As a result, sales of digital still cameras dropped. However, sales of
optical modules used in mobile phone handsets contributed to sales for the first time, which resulted in year-on-year growth in this reporting segment. Optical modules sales accounted for approximately 40% of sales in this reporting segment.



(8) Others



Sales in this reporting segment increased by ¥17,535 million, or 17.4%, to ¥118,040
million compared with ¥100,505 million in fiscal 2004.



Sales in Kyocera
Communication Systems Co., Ltd. which accounts for approximately 61% of this reporting segment net sales, increased due to a growth in sales of telecommunications engineering and data center businesses.

Sales in Japan, which accounted for
40.0% of total net sales, increased by ¥15,610 million, or 3.4%, to ¥472,417 million compared with ¥456,807 million in fiscal 2004. Kyoceras sales in overseas markets, which accounted for 60.0% of total net sales, increased by
¥24,231 million, or 3.5%, to ¥708,238 million compared with ¥684,007 million in fiscal 2004.



Sales in overseas markets are denominated primarily in the U.S. dollars and Euro. Compared with fiscal 2004, the yen appreciated against the U.S. dollar and depreciated against Euro. In terms of net sales, the
negative effects of the rising yen against the U.S. dollar outweighed the positive impact of the weak yen against Euro. Accordingly, consolidated net sales after translation into yen decreased approximately ¥21.2 billion compared with fiscal
2004.



Sales in Japan increased due mainly to a full year contribution from
Kyocera Kinseki Corporation and Kyocera SLC Technologies Corporation, which became consolidated subsidiaries in fiscal 2004 and contributed to increased sales of semiconductor and LCD fabrication components, and solar modules and solar power
generation systems. In addition, sales of optical modules for camera-equipped mobile phone handsets contributed to sales for the first time in fiscal 2005, and resulted in a sales increase of the Optical Equipment Group.



The weak yen against Euro produced a positive impact on sales in Europe, and sales growth in
Europe was stronger than in other overseas markets. Sales in Europe expanded by ¥18,921 million, or 12.1%, to ¥175,850 million compared with ¥156,929 million in fiscal 2004, due to increased sales in the Information Equipment Group and
solar energy products supported by expansion of demand, particularly in Germany. Sales in Asia rose by ¥9,546 million, or 4.9%, to ¥203,848 million compared with ¥194,302 million in fiscal 2004. In fiscal 2004, Kyocera Corporation
acquired 100% of the shares of Kyocera Kinseki Corporation and established new sales subsidiaries of AVX Corporation to pursue group synergies within the Electronic Device Group and to expand this business. Synergy effects through these measures
were evident in fiscal 2005, as sales of mobile phone handsets increased in India through active marketing by Kyocera Wireless Corp. Sales in the United States decreased by ¥2,993 million, or 1.2%, to ¥248,333 million compared with
¥251,326 million in fiscal 2004, due mainly to downturn sales in the Telecommunications Equipment Group.

Cost of sales and gross profit



In fiscal 2005, cost of sales decreased by ¥5,157 million, or 0.6%, to ¥855,067 million from ¥860,224 million in fiscal 2004.
Raw material costs of ¥386,262 million accounted for 45.2%, and labor costs of ¥158,427 million accounted for 18.5%. The ratio of cost of sales to net sales was 72.4%, a decrease of 3.0 points compared with 75.4% in fiscal 2004. In fiscal
2004, cost of sales contained a write-down amounting to ¥10,351 million of current inventories of tantalum materials and purchase commitments based on long-term contracts at AVX Corporation, labor costs totaling ¥13,735 million related to
the transfer of the substitutional portion of Employee Pension Funds of Kyocera Corporation and Kyocera Mita Corporation to the Japanese government, and a reduction of labor costs of ¥2,821 million by the withdrawal from Employee Pension Funds
at Kyocera Chemical Corporation. Aside from the special factors stated above, cost of sales in fiscal 2005 substantially increased due to increases of sales in the Fine Ceramic Parts Group, the Semiconductor Parts Group, the Applied Ceramic Products
Group, the Electronic Device Group, the Information Equipment Group, and the Optical Equipment Group.



In fiscal 2005, Kyocera recorded ¥5,421 million of one time charges related to structural reforms in the Telecommunications Equipment Group and the Optical Equipment Group. In the Optical Equipment Group, losses
of ¥4,918 million related to reduction of inventories, were recorded to downsize the camera business. In the Telecommunications Equipment Group, one time charges of ¥503 million were recorded at Kyocera Wireless Corp. with the transfer of
production to Mexico, where more cost-effective labor is possible. As a result, gross profit increased by ¥44,998 million, or 16.0%, in fiscal 2005 to ¥325,588 million from ¥280,590 million in fiscal 2004. The gross profit ratio
increased by 3.0 point from 24.6% to 27.6%.



SG&A expenses and profit
from operations



Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses
in fiscal 2005 increased by ¥52,992 million, or 30.9%, to ¥224,620 million compared with ¥171,628 million in fiscal 2004. Labor cost was ¥111,461 million, or 49.6% of total SG&A, and sales promotion and advertising cost was
¥39,175 million, or 17.4% of total SG&A. The proportion of SG&A expenses to net sales rose by 4.0 points to 19.0% in fiscal 2005 compared with 15.0% in fiscal 2004. The transfer of the substitutional portion of Employee Pension Funds of
Kyocera Corporation and Kyocera Mita Corporation resulted in the deduction of SG&A expenses of ¥32,652 million, while the withdrawal from Employee Pension Funds at Kyocera Chemical Corporation resulted in a deduction of ¥3,132 million in
fiscal 2004. Excluding the special items above, the increase in SG&A expenses in fiscal 2005 reflected an increase in costs associated with aggressive R&D activities and an increase in advertising expenses, mainly at Kyocera Mita
Corporation. As a result, profit from operations decreased by ¥7,994 million, or 7.3%, to ¥100,968 million compared with ¥108,962 million in fiscal 2004. The gross margin fell by 1.0 point to 8.6% in fiscal 2005 compared with 9.6% in
fiscal 2004.



Interest and dividend income



Interest and dividend income in fiscal 2005 increased by ¥1,513 million, or 31.0%, to
¥6,396 million compared with ¥4,883 million in fiscal 2004. This was mainly because KDDI Corporation increased its corporate dividend per share thanks to a favorable business performance, thus increasing dividend income on Kyoceras
investments in KDDI Corporation. Kyocera has an investment policy aimed at low risk, stability and liquidity, and does not typically invest in high-risk financial instruments only for pursuing profits.

Interest expense



Interest expense in fiscal 2005 decreased by ¥11 million, or 0.9%, to ¥1,275 million compared with ¥1,286 million in fiscal 2004. The Japanese financial
market was still in a low-interest climate, and therefore there was no material fluctuation in interest expense.



Foreign currency translation



During fiscal 2005, the yen appreciated by ¥5, or 4.4%, against the U.S. dollar and depreciated by ¥2, or 1.5%, against Euro compared with fiscal 2004,
respectively. At March 31, 2005, the yen depreciated by ¥1, or 0.9%, against the U.S. dollar and depreciated by ¥10, or 7.8%, against Euro compared with at March 31, 2004, respectively. The net effect of foreign currency
fluctuations was a gain of ¥2,618 million.



Kyocera typically enters into
forward exchange contracts to minimize currency exchange risks on foreign currency denominated receivables and payables. Kyocera confines its use of derivative financial instruments to the hedging of its foreign exchange exposures, and does not
utilize derivative transactions for trading purposes.



Gains and losses from
investments



In fiscal 2005, Kyoceras earnings or losses on equity
method investments resulted in losses of ¥1,678 million, a fall of ¥4,253 million, compared with earnings of ¥2,575 million in fiscal 2004. Kyoceras equity in earnings or losses of affiliates and unconsolidated subsidiaries in
fiscal 2005 was derived mainly from interests in WILLCOM, Inc. and Taito Corporation.



Kyocera Corporation owned a 13.33% interest in WILLCOM, Inc., which was formerly known as DDI Pocket, Inc. and which changed its name in February 2005. WILLCOM, Inc. operates a PHS business. In October 2004, Kyocera purchased an additional
16.67% ownership interest for ¥9,993 million to expand sales in its PHS-related business. Due to its cumulative ownership interest of 30%, Kyocera Corporation accounts for its investment by the equity method. As WILLCOM, Inc. recorded a net loss
due to an increase in operating costs related to its business expansion in fiscal 2005, Kyocera recorded a loss on its equity-method investment in WILLCOM, Inc.



Kyocera Corporation owns a 36.02% interest in Taito Corporation, a major affiliate which operates in electronic amusement business. In fiscal 2005, Taitos net
income decreased compared with fiscal 2004 due to a sluggish sales of home-use game machines, an additional investment in production facilities for game machines and costs of opening new game arcades, in spite of an increase in sales of
commercial-use game machines. As a result, Kyoceras earning on its equity-method investment in Taito Corporation decreased.



In fiscal 2005, losses on impairment of investment securities amounted to ¥132 million, a decrease of ¥898 million, compared with ¥1,030 million in fiscal
2004. Losses recorded in fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004 were due mainly to managements estimation that certain non-public companies in which Kyocera invested would still need considerable time to recover profitability in their operating
activities.



Income before income taxes



In fiscal 2005, Kyocera recorded an increase in operating profit due to higher sales,
especially in the components business, and to various cost-reduction activities. In contrast, however, a significant decrease in profits was recorded in the equipment business. Despite higher revenues from sales of the Information Equipment Group,
such as digital MFPs, the Telecommunications Equipment Group slumped due to repair costs for defective products, and one time charges were recorded in line with the policy to downsize the camera business. Consequently, income before income taxes
decreased by ¥7,510 million, or 6.5%, to ¥107,530 million compared with ¥115,040 million in fiscal 2004. In fiscal 2004 Kyocera also recorded a settlement gain of ¥18,917 million for a substitutional portion of Employee Pension Funds
and ¥5,953 million of a withdrawal gain of Employee Pension Funds at a subsidiary.

(1)
Fine Ceramic Parts Group



Operating profit in this reporting segment increased
by ¥1,296 million or 12.7%, to ¥11,535 million compared with ¥10,239 million in fiscal 2004. This was due primarily to improvement of manufacturing efficiency by higher sales of fine ceramic components used in semiconductor and LCD
fabrication equipment and sapphire substrates.



(2) Semiconductor Parts Group



Operating profit in this reporting
segment increased by ¥6,947 million or 65.5%, to ¥17,550 million compared with ¥10,603 million in fiscal 2004. This was due primarily to improved capacity utilization by higher sales of ceramic packages used in mobile phone handsets, and
due to reduced costs through the utilization of China-based production facilities.

(3) Applied Ceramic Products Group



Operating profit in this reporting segment increased by ¥6,832 million or 66.3%, to
¥17,129 million compared with ¥10,297 million in fiscal 2004. Sales in the solar energy business increased steadily supported by a rising global orientation towards clean energy. Meanwhile, profit in this business also grew as Kyocera
reduced costs through the utilization of China-based production facilities established in fiscal 2004. Brisk markets led to increases in both sales and profits of cutting tools and dental and orthopedic implants.



(4) Electronic Device Group



Operating profit in this reporting segment increased by ¥30,359 million or 601.5%, to
¥35,406 million compared with ¥5,047 million in fiscal 2004. In fiscal 2004, AVX Corporation wrote down ¥10,351 million of inventories of tantalum materials and purchase commitments based on long-term contracts, and also booked a
restructuring charge of ¥2,975 million associated with the closure of its overseas ferrite manufacturing facilities and headcount reductions. In fiscal 2005, despite deterioration in the markets for capacitors and connectors in the second half,
the absence of large-scale write-downs and restructuring charges that were evident in fiscal 2004, together with improved productivity led to strong growth in profit.



(5) Telecommunications Equipment Group



Operating profit in this reporting segment substantially decreased by ¥20,000 million to a loss of ¥14,918 million compared with
income of ¥5,082 million in fiscal 2004. This decrease was due to significant operating losses recorded at Kyocera Wireless Corp. It recorded significant losses due to decline in market prices, some defective products, and the relocation costs
of production sites. Furthermore, repair costs for defective software and delays in the market introduction of new products in Japan also led to losses.



(6) Information Equipment Group



Operating profit in this reporting segment increased by ¥4,200 million or 13.1%, to ¥36,186 million compared with ¥31,986 million in fiscal 2004. This
increase was due primarily to a steady growth in sales of digital MFPs and an increase in sales of high-value-added products. Lower costs achieved through a China-based production facility also contributed to the increase in operating profit.



(7) Optical Equipment Group



Operating loss in this reporting segment increased by ¥9,561 million to ¥15,387
million compared with a loss of ¥5,826 million in fiscal 2004. This reflected higher-than-expected costs associated with the launch of the optical module business in fiscal 2005, and one time charges related to the downsizing of the camera
business in fiscal 2005.



(8) Others



Operating profit in this reporting segment increased by ¥3,336 million or
34.5%, to ¥13,019 million compared with ¥9,683 million in fiscal 2004. This was due primarily to increased earnings in Kyocera Communication Systems Co., Ltd., arising from improved development efficiency and lower costs, as well as
increased sales in Kyocera Chemical Corporation, especially in the businesses related to flexible printed circuit boards.



(9) Corporate



Corporate income and losses constitute income and expenses related to the provision of management-related services by Kyoceras head office to each reporting
segment, together with any profit-and-loss items that management judges not to belong within the above reporting segments, such as litigation expenses or losses on impairment of investment securities. In fiscal 2005, Kyocera recorded Corporate
income of ¥8,683 million. This represented a decrease of ¥26,188 million, or 75.1%, compared with Corporate income of ¥34,871 million in fiscal 2004. The main contributors in fiscal 2005 were interest and dividends. The income in fiscal
2004 included ¥18,917 million of a settlement gain for a substitutional portion of Employee Pension Funds, ¥5,953 million of a withdrawal gain of Employee Pension Funds at a subsidiary, and ¥2,284 million of a gain on reversal of excess
accruals resulting from a settlement of litigation in the LaPine Case. As a result, Corporate gain decreased markedly compared with fiscal 2004.

Taxes



Current and deferred income taxes in fiscal 2005 increased by ¥8,170 million, or 16.2%, to ¥58,480 million compared with ¥50,310 million in fiscal 2004. The
effective tax rate of 54.4% in fiscal 2005 was 10.7 points higher than 43.7% in fiscal 2004. Kyocera Corporation received a notice of tax assessment based on transfer pricing adjustments from the Osaka Regional Tax Bureau stating that, in the
Bureaus judgment, allocation of profit earned from transfers of products between Kyocera Corporation and its overseas subsidiaries was not appropriate for five years from fiscal 1999 through fiscal 2003, and this resulted in additional current
income taxes of ¥12,748 million. Although the final resolution of the proposed tax assessment is not certain, management believes the ultimate disposition of this matter will not have a material impact on the results of operations.



Minority interests



Minority interests are principally related to AVX Corporation, which accounted for an approximately 30% minority ownership interest in
fiscal 2005. Minority interests decreased by ¥6,498 million to a loss in minority interests of ¥3,142 million, compared with a gain in minority interests of ¥3,356 million in fiscal 2004. This was mainly due to an increase in net income
at AVX Corporation because it recorded one time charges related to a write-down of inventories and restructuring activities in fiscal 2004, and there were no such costs in fiscal 2005.



Settlement of LaPine Case in Fiscal 2004



On September 1, 1994, the International Chamber of Commerce issued its award with respect to the arbitration between Kyocera
Corporation and LaPine Technology Corporation (LTC), Prudential-Bache Trade Corporation (PBTC) (presently renamed Prudential- Bache Trade Services, Inc.), et al. for the alleged breach of an agreement by Kyocera Corporation in connection with the
reorganization of LTC. The award ordered Kyocera Corporation to pay to LTC and PBTC as damages, approximately $257 million, including interest, arbitration costs and attorneys fees. Kyocera Corporation filed a motion to vacate, modify and
correct the award in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California pursuant to an agreement between the parties providing for broad judicial examination of arbitration awards.



With respect to this case, Kyocera Corporation subsequently appealed to the Ninth Circuit
Court of Appeals and then to the Supreme Court of the United States asserting the validity of the provision for broad judicial examination of arbitration awards. On December 22, 2003, Kyocera Corporation reached an agreement with Prudential
Securities Group, Inc., Prudential Equity Group, Inc., LaPine Technology Corporation and LaPine Holding Company to settle all claims in pending litigation between the parties. Kyocera Corporation has paid $331.5 million pursuant to this settlement
and recorded ¥35,454 million as cash payment in its consolidated financial statements in fiscal 2004.



Kyocera had recognized a provision for accrued litigation expenses as cost of sales in fiscal 2004. The excess accrual of ¥2,284 million was reversed as a reduction of cost of sales to account for the difference
between accrued litigation expenses and the cash settlement in fiscal 2004.

Transfer to the Japanese Government of the Substitutional Portion of Employee Pension Fund Liabilities in Fiscal
2004



In fiscal 2004, Kyocera Corporation and Kyocera Mita Corporation
transferred to the Japanese government the substitutional portion of Employee Pension Funds liabilities and the related government-specified portion of plan assets of Employee Pension Funds upon approval by the Ministry of the Health, Labor and
Welfare in Japan.



Kyocera Corporation and Kyocera Mita Corporation adopted
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 03-02, Accounting for the Transfer to the Japanese Government of the Substitutional Portion of Employee Pension Fund Liabilities for the settlement process of the substitutional portion of
Employee Pension Funds, and recorded ¥18,917 million of a settlement gain for the substitutional portion of Employee Pension Funds. Detailed information regarding this transfer process of and settlement gain for the substitutional portion of
Employee Pension Funds is described in Note 9 to The Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 20-F.



Investment in Kinseki, Limited in Fiscal 2004



On August 1, 2003, Kyocera Corporation made Kinseki, Limited, which is in the business of manufacturing crystal components and which had been a 28.09%-owned
affiliate, its wholly-owned subsidiary through a share exchange. Under the share exchange, a total of 2,529,154 shares of common stock of Kyocera Corporation were allocated to Kinseki, Limiteds minority shareholders in return for the remaining
25,291,542 shares (71.91 %) of Kinseki, Limiteds shares not previously owned by Kyocera Corporation. On April 1, 2004, Kinseki, Limited changed its name to Kyocera Kinseki Corporation.



Investment in Kyocera SLC Technologies Corporation in Fiscal 2004



On June 30, 2003, in order to reinforce the business of organic circuit boards,
Kyocera Corporation and IBM Japan, Ltd. reached an agreement for the transfer to Kyocera Corporation from IBM Japan, Ltd. of the SLC (Surface Laminar Circuitry: laminated high density printed circuit board) business of Yasu Site of IBM Japan, Ltd.,
and have executed a business transfer agreement. Kyocera Corporation acquired this business in exchange for cash of ¥8,594 million. Kyocera Corporation incorporated a new successor company, Kyocera SLC Technologies Corporation, on
August 12, 2003, which commenced operation on September 1, 2003.



Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates



Kyoceras consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the use of
estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results may
differ from these estimates, judgments and assumptions.



An accounting estimate
in Kyoceras consolidated financial statements is a critical accounting estimate if it requires Kyocera to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate is made, and either different estimates that
Kyocera reasonably could have used in the current period, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, would have a material impact on the presentation of Kyoceras financial condition,
changes in financial condition or results of operations. Kyocera has identified the following critical accounting policies with respect to its financial presentation.



Allowances for doubtful accounts



Kyocera maintains allowances for doubtful accounts related to both trade and finance receivables for estimated losses resulting from customers inability to make
timely payments, including interest on finance receivables. Kyoceras estimates are based on various factors including the length of past due payments, historical experience and current business environments. In circumstances where it is aware
of a specific customers inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific allowance against these amounts is provided considering the fair value of assets pledged by the customer as collateral.



- 51 -



---

##### Table of Contents

A substantial portion of allowances for doubtful accounts is recorded with respect to the finance receivables of Kyocera
Leasing Co., Ltd. in the Others segment, which provides credit financing and commercial leasing services. Based on the factors discussed above, Kyocera Leasing Co., Ltd. sets estimated recovery percentages that are applied to the amount of
receivables to determine future cash flow. On a case-by-case basis, adjustments are made to the amount of allowances so determined in light of particular customers circumstances. Kyocera Leasing Co., Ltd. continuously monitors the correlation
between the allowances so determined and the actual loss experienced, and makes an appropriate modification to the schedule of percentages for determining allowance amounts.



At March 31, 2006, Kyocera Leasing Co., Ltd. had ¥6,332 million ($54 million) of allowances for doubtful accounts against
¥126,741 million ($1,083 million) of finance receivables, which comprise over 50% of Kyoceras allowances for doubtful accounts.



Inventory valuation



Kyocera estimates the amount of write-downs required to properly value inventory. Write-downs are provided for excess, slow-moving and obsolete inventory as well as valuation losses required to adjust recorded cost to
its market value. Kyocera generally considers all inventory aged over 12 months to be slow-moving or obsolete. Kyocera also records inventory write-downs based on its projections of future demand, market conditions and related management-led
initiatives even if the age of corresponding inventory is shorter than 12 months.



In fiscal 2006, as a result of continuous strict controls and adjustments on inventories, Kyocera recognized inventory write-downs of ¥8,446 million ($72 million). The amounts of these inventory write-downs by reporting segments appear
in Note 17 to The Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 20-F. A large portion of these inventory write-downs arose from inventories of telecommunication equipment and information equipment. These products were subject to a decrease
in demand and a decline in price, or turned out to be obsolete because of their short product lives. In the telecommunications equipment business, Kyocera implemented structural reforms to improve future profitability following the previous year and
recognized inventory write-downs or losses on disposal based on business plans.



The majority of Kyoceras inventories are produced for the IT industry. Each of these products generally has a short product life, and is susceptible to market demand and price fluctuations. Inventory write-downs generally affect all
segments except Others. If market conditions and demand in the information technology industry are less favorable than Kyoceras projections, additional write-downs may be required.



Impairment of securities and investments



Kyocera records impairment charges for debt and equity securities and investments in affiliates and unconsolidated subsidiaries accounted for by the equity method when it
believes that the decline of value is considered to be other-than-temporary. Kyocera regularly reviews each security and investment for impairment based on the extent to which the fair value is less than cost, the duration of the decline, the
anticipated recoverability of fair value in the future and the financial conditions of the issuer. Poor operating results of the issuers of these securities or adverse changes in the market may cause impairment losses in future periods. The
impairment losses are recorded as Corporate losses.



In fiscal 2006, Kyocera
recognized losses on impairment of investment securities amounting to ¥385 million ($3 million), which was attributable mainly to managements estimation that certain non-public companies in which Kyocera invested would need considerable
periods to gain profitability in their operating activities.

Kyocera Corporation is currently a major shareholder of KDDI Corporation. The price fluctuation of the shares of KDDI
Corporation may affect Kyoceras financial conditions. At March 31, 2006, the unrealized gain of ¥111,178 million ($950 million) on the shares of KDDI Corporation held by Kyocera Corporation increased compared with that of ¥55,056
million at March 31, 2005, reflecting a fluctuation of the market price of the share of KDDI Corporation during fiscal 2006. As the operating results of KDDI Corporation recently grew steadily, the performance of the share of KDDI Corporation
is considered to be stable. For detailed information on the gross unrealized gain or loss, see Note 3 to The Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 20-F.



Kyocera Mita Corporation owns a 30% interest in Triumph-Adler AG Group, a distributor of office equipment and accounted for by the equity
method. Kyocera recognized loss on impairment of investment in affiliate of ¥3,492 million ($30 million) due to an extended decline in its market value in fiscal 2006.



Impairment of long-lived assets



Kyocera reviews its long-lived assets and intangible assets with definite useful lives for impairment periodically. Long-lived assets and intangible assets with definite
useful lives are considered to be impaired when the expected undiscounted cash flow from the asset is less than its carrying value. A loss on impairment is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the
long-lived assets and intangible assets with definite useful lives. In fiscal 2006, Kyocera recognized loss on impairment of long-lived assets in a foreign subsidiary. However this loss on impairment did not have a material impact on Kyoceras
consolidated results of operations and financial position.



Goodwill and
other intangible assets



Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite
useful lives are tested for impairment at least annually, rather than being amortized, and also following any events or changes in circumstances that might lead to impairment. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their
respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable.



Kyocera undertook a review for impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets in fiscal
2006. The results of this review revealed no impairment in the carrying values of such assets.



Deferred tax assets



Kyocera records
deferred tax assets with valuation allowances to adjust their carrying amounts when it believes that it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. The valuation of deferred tax assets principally depends on the estimation of
future taxable income and feasible tax planning strategies. If future taxable income is lower than expected due to future market conditions or poor operating results, significant adjustments to deferred tax assets may be required. At March 31,
2006, deferred tax assets amounted to ¥82,342 million ($704 million), which Kyocera considers will reasonably be realized in the future compared with the amounts of taxable income and income taxes in fiscal 2006.

Benefit plans



Projected benefit obligations and plan assets are determined on an actuarial basis and are significantly affected by the assumptions used in their calculation, such as
the discount rates, the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, the rate of increase in compensation levels and other assumptions. Kyocera determines the discount rate by referencing the yield on high quality fixed income securities such
as Japanese Government Bonds. The expected return on plan assets is determined based on the rate of historical earnings and Kyoceras expectation of future performance of the funds in which plan assets are invested. The rate of increase in
compensation levels is determined based mainly on results of operations and inflation. Kyocera annually reviews the assumptions underlying its actuarial calculations, making adjustments based on current market conditions, if necessary. If Japanese
and global financial markets stagnate, Kyocera may be required to decrease its assumptions of the discount rate and the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, and a decrease in such assumptions will lead to an increase in projected
benefit obligations and net periodic pension costs. Particularly, an increase in projected benefit obligations may negatively affect Kyoceras accrued pension and severance liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and labor costs included
in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of income. An increase in accumulated benefit obligations may also require Kyocera to record additional minimum pension liability in accumulated other
comprehensive income. In fiscal 2004, Kyocera Corporation and Kyocera Mita Corporation transferred to the Japanese government the substitutional portion of Employee Pension Funds liabilities and the related government-specified portion of plan
assets of Employee Pension Funds. Kyocera Corporation and Kyocera Mita Corporation adopted Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 03-02, Accounting for the Transfer to the Japanese Government of the Substitutional Portion of Employee
Pension Fund Liabilities for the settlement process of the substitutional portion of Employee Pension Funds, and recorded ¥18,917 million of a settlement gain for the substitutional portion of Employee Pension Funds. As a result of this
settlement, Kyoceras projected benefit obligation decreased by ¥71,243 million and plan assets decreased by ¥29,493 million, respectively. This decrease in projected benefit obligation is particularly considered to lead to a reduction
of a potential negative impact on Kyoceras financial conditions and results of operations. Detailed information regarding this transfer process of and settlement gain for the substitutional portion of Employee Pension Funds is described in
Note 9 to The Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 20-F.



Sensitivity analysis of benefit plans



The following table illustrates the effect of assumed changes in discount rates and the expected rate of return on plan assets, assuming all other assumptions consistent, for benefit plans at Kyocera Corporation and certain domestic
subsidiaries which account for a significant portion of Kyoceras projected benefit obligations and net periodic pension costs.

Contingencies



Kyocera is subject to various lawsuits and claims which arise in the ordinary course of
business. Kyocera consults with legal counsel and assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes of these contingencies. Kyocera records liabilities for these contingencies when the likelihood of an adverse outcome is probable and the amount is
reasonably estimable. In making these estimates, Kyocera considers the progress of the lawsuits, the situations of other companies that are subject to similar lawsuits and other relevant factors. The amounts of liabilities accrued are based on
estimates and may be significantly affected by further developments or the resolution of these contingencies in the future.

Revenue recognition



Kyocera sells various types of products, including fine ceramic parts, semi-conductor parts, and telecommunications equipment. Kyocera recognizes revenue upon completion
of the earnings process, which occurs when products are shipped or delivered to the customer in accordance with the terms of an agreement of sale, there is a fixed or determinable selling price, title and risk of loss have been transferred, and
collectibility is reasonably assured. Most of these conditions are satisfied at the time of delivery to customers in domestic sales (FOB destination) and at the time of shipment (FOB shipping) for export sales.



Sales returns



Kyocera records an estimated sales return allowance at the time of sales based on its historical returns experience.



Products warranty



At the time of sale, Kyocera accrues a product warranty liability for claims under warranties relating to the products that have been sold.
Kyocera records an estimated product warranty reserve based on its historical repair experience.



Revenue from financial services



In
addition to the tangible products as discussed above, Kyocera also provides certain services, primarily financial services. Revenue from direct financing leases is recognized over the term of the lease, and amortization of unearned lease income is
recognized using the interest method. Interest income on installment loans is recognized on an accrual basis.



New Accounting Standards



In
November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 151, Inventory Costs an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. SFAS No. 151 requires that all
abnormal idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and spoilage be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of so abnormal. In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed
production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS
No. 151 will not have a material impact on Kyoceras consolidated results of operations and financial position.



In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) (SFAS No. 123R), Share-Based Payments. This statement is a revision of SFAS
No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123R supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related interpretations. SFAS
No. 123R requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. SFAS No. 123R establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment
arrangements and requires all entities to apply a fair-value based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees except for equity instruments held by employee share ownership plans. SFAS No. 123R was
announced to be effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that would begin after June 15, 2005, however, on April 14, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff postponed implementation of SFAS No. 123R. Kyocera
will adopt SFAS No. 123R effective on April 1 2006, and estimates that the impact of SFAS No. 123R will be approximately ¥400 million ($3 million) on Kyoceras consolidated results of operations for fiscal 2007.



In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation (FIN) No. 47, Accounting for
Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations - an interpretation of SFAS No. 143. This Interpretation clarifies use of the term conditional asset retirement obligation in SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligation. FIN No. 47 requires recognition of a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liabilitys fair value can be reasonably estimated. FIN No. 47 is effective no later
than the end of fiscal years ended after December 15, 2005. The adoption of FIN No. 47 did not have a material impact on Kyoceras consolidated results of operations and financial position.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a replacement of APB
Opinion No. 20 and SFAS No. 3. SFAS No. 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting
for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement when the pronouncement does not include specific
transition provisions. APB Opinion No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting
principle. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods financial statements of changes in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2005. The impact of SFAS No. 154 will depend on the changes, if any, that Kyocera may identify and record in a future period.



In November 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 115-1 and 124-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its
Application to Certain Investments (FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1). FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1 explains the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary, and the measurement of
an impairment loss. In addition, it also addresses accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as
other-than-temporary impairment. FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1 is effective in reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1 did not have a material impact on Kyoceras consolidated results
of operations and financial position.



B. Liquidity and Capital Resources



Capital
resources



Fiscal 2006 compared with Fiscal 2005



In the short term, Kyocera expects cash demands for working capital and funds for capital
expenditures required for the expansion of operations, purchases of Kyocera Corporations common stock, and payments of dividends to stockholders. Kyoceras primary source of short-term liquidity is cash generated by operations. Certain
subsidiaries also generate capital in the form of loans from financial institutions. At March 31, 2006, Kyoceras short-term borrowings and long-term debt including current portion totaled ¥140,572 million ($1,201 million). The ratio
to total assets of 7.3% still reflected a low level of dependence. Most borrowings were denominated in the yen but certain borrowings were denominated in foreign currencies, such as the U.S. dollar. And there is no material seasonality in
Kyoceras borrowing requirement. Details of these borrowings are described in Item 5F Tabular Disclosure of Contractual obligations, which also includes the information regarding obligations for the acquisition or construction
of property, plant and equipment.



Capital expenditures in fiscal 2006
increased by ¥27,095 million ($232 million), or 42.9%, to ¥90,271 million ($772 million) compared with ¥63,176 million in fiscal 2005. In fiscal 2006, capital expenditures for business expansion increased significantly, especially in the
solar energy business and organic package business, compared with fiscal 2005. R&D expenditures increased by ¥3,038 million ($26 million), or 5.6%, to ¥57,436 million ($491 million) compared with ¥54,398 million in fiscal 2005.
Nearly all capital and R&D expenditures were funded using cash in hand or cash generated by operations.



During fiscal 2007, Kyocera expects total capital expenditures to be approximately ¥72,000 million ($615 million), and total R&D expenditures to be approximately ¥63,000 million ($538 million). Kyocera
believes that Kyocera needs to invest its resources continuously in the development of new business areas and improved technology in order to create new products, commercialize advanced technologies and thereby secure future earnings streams.

##### Table of Contents

At March 31, 2006, Kyoceras working capital totaled ¥542,045 million ($4,633 million), a decrease of
¥9,173 million ($78 million), or 1.7%, from ¥551,218 million at March 31, 2005. This was due to the effect of a decrease in inventories, mainly in the Telecommunications Equipment Group and the Information Equipment Group, and an
increase in notes and accounts payable which exceeded the effect of an increase in short-term investments including negotiable certificate of deposits. Kyocera plans to continue to improve capital efficiency by shortening manufacturing lead-time and
reducing inventory level. Cash from operations has generally been sufficient for Kyocera to fund its working capital requirements and to fulfill its future capital expenditures, debt repayments and other obligations. Kyoceras net cash provided
by operating activities in fiscal 2006 was ¥171,077 million ($1,462 million) and cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2006 were ¥300,809 million ($2,571 million). Kyocera believes that its working capital is sufficient for present and
predictable future requirements.



Kyocera Corporation undertakes purchases of
its common stock to facilitate the implementation of flexible capital policies and to develop its business in a dynamic manner in response to changes in the operating environment.



In fiscal 2006, Kyocera Corporation paid cash dividends totaling ¥18,748 million ($160 million), at ¥100 ($0.9) per share. Kyocera
Corporation received approval at the general meeting of shareholders held on June 23, 2006 for the payment of year-end dividends totaling ¥9,387 million ($80 million), at ¥50 ($0.4) per share, on June 26, 2006 to all stockholders
of record on March 31, 2006.



Kyocera believes cash in hand and cash from
operations will be sufficient to fund all cash requirements outlined above, at least through fiscal 2007. Consequently, Kyocera does not currently intend to use any other external financing sources that might affect its credit agency ratings. If
cash generated by operations are insufficient for funding purposes, Kyocera retains other financing options, including external sources, such as short-term or long-term borrowings, as well as financing directly in the capital markets through
issuances of debt or equity securities. As evidenced by equity to assets ratio of 66.7% at March 31, 2006, Kyocera maintains a strong financial position, which leads Kyocera to believe that any capital requirements could be secured from
external sources at a relatively low cost. Kyocera also maintains good business relationships with several major Japanese financial institutions.



Any future significant deterioration in market demand for Kyoceras products, or a slump in product prices to levels substantially below those projected by Kyocera,
could adversely affect Kyoceras operating results and financial position, possibly resulting in reduced liquidity.



Fiscal 2005 compared with Fiscal 2004



In the short term, Kyocera expects cash demands for working capital and funds for capital expenditures required for the expansion of operations, purchases of Kyocera
Corporations common stock, and payments of dividends to stockholders. Kyoceras primary source of short-term liquidity is cash generated by operations. Certain subsidiaries also generate capital in the form of loans from financial
institutions. At March 31, 2005, Kyoceras short-term borrowings and long-term debt including current portion totaled ¥144,164 million. The ratio to total assets of 8.3% was still at a low level of dependence. Most borrowings were
denominated in yen but certain borrowings were denominated in foreign currencies, such as the U.S. dollar.



At March 31, 2005, Kyoceras working capital totaled ¥551,218 million, a decrease of ¥5,839 million, or 1.0%, from ¥557,057 million at March 31, 2004. This was due mainly to decreases in
cash and cash equivalents as a result of purchases of government bonds and negotiable certificate of deposits in consideration of the current and future financial position in accordance with our investment policy, and in notes and accounts payable
as a result of decreases of orders and production in the Telecommunications Equipment Group. Cash from operations has generally been sufficient for Kyocera to fund its working capital requirements and to fulfill its future capital expenditures, debt
repayments and other obligations. Kyoceras net cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2005 was ¥145,523 million and cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2005 were ¥310,592 million. In Kyoceras opinion, working
capital is sufficient for present and predictable future requirements.

Capital expenditures in fiscal 2005 increased by ¥8,239 million, or 15.0%, to ¥63,176 million compared with
¥54,937 million in fiscal 2004. R&D expenditures increased by ¥7,768 million, or 16.7%, to ¥54,398 million from ¥46,630 million in fiscal 2004. Nearly all capital and R&D expenditures were funded using cash in hand or cash
generated by operations.

Kyocera believes cash in hand and cash from operations will be sufficient to fund all cash
requirements outlined above, at least through fiscal 2006. Consequently, Kyocera does not currently intend to use any other external financing sources that might affect its credit agency ratings. If cash generated by operations are insufficient for
funding purposes, Kyocera retains other financing options, including external sources, such as short-term or long-term borrowings as well as financing directly in the capital markets through issuances of debt or equity securities. As evidenced by an

Cash flows



Fiscal 2006 compared with Fiscal 2005



The following table shows a summary of
Kyoceras cash flows for fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2006:

Net cash provided by operating
activities in fiscal 2006 increased by ¥25,554 million ($218 million), or 17.6%, to ¥171,077 million ($1,462 million) from ¥145,523 million in fiscal 2005. This was due to an increase in net income by ¥23,788 million ($203 million),
or 51.8%, to ¥69,696 million ($596 million) from ¥45,908 million in fiscal 2005, coupled with a decrease in inventory as a result of inventory normalization and an increase in notes and account payable in line with an increase in orders and
production.

##### Table of Contents

Net cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2006 increased by ¥32,973 million ($282 million), or 24.9%, to
¥165,467 million ($1,414 million) from net cash used in investing activities of ¥132,494 million in fiscal 2005. In fiscal 2006, proceeds from sales of Taito Corporation shares and a decrease in payment for purchase of investments and
advances compared with fiscal 2005 provided cash inflow in investing activities. Nonetheless, payment for purchases of property, plant and equipment increased owing to aggressive capital expenditure, payment for purchase of securities increased in
line with fund management, and deposits of negotiable certificates of deposits and time deposits increased compared with fiscal 2005. As a result, net cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2006 increased compared with fiscal 2005.



Net cash used in financing activities in fiscal 2006 decreased by ¥44,055 million
($377 million), or 65.4%, to ¥23,289 million ($199 million) from ¥67,344 million in fiscal 2005. Although dividend payments increased in fiscal 2006 compared with fiscal 2005, an increase in short-term debt caused net cash used in financing
activities to decrease compared with fiscal 2005.



The yens depreciation
against the U.S. dollar and Euro between March 31, 2005 and 2006 resulted in an increase in cash and cash equivalents of ¥7,896 million ($67 million).



At March 31, 2006, cash and cash equivalents totaled ¥300,809 million ($2,571 million). This represented a decrease of ¥9,783 million ($84 million), or
3.1%, from ¥310,592 million at March 31, 2005. Most of Kyoceras cash and cash equivalents were denominated in the yen but certain cash and cash equivalents, mainly in overseas subsidiaries, were denominated in foreign currencies, such
as the U.S. dollar.

Net cash provided by operating
activities in fiscal 2005 increased by ¥82,948 million, or 132.6%, to ¥145,523 million from ¥62,575 million in fiscal 2004. This was due to a significant decrease in receivables by collection, including short-term finance receivables,
although net income decreased by ¥22,178 million, or 32.6%, to ¥45,908 million compared with fiscal 2004. Kyocera Leasing Co., Ltd., which provides financial services, collected large-lot loans, and these collections resulted in the decrease
in receivables. In addition, due to the settlement regarding the LaPine Case of ¥35,454 million in fiscal 2004, net cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2005 increased compared with fiscal 2004. A decrease in notes and accounts
payable due to decreases of production in the Telecommunications Equipment Group offset an increase in net cash provided by operating activities.



Net cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2005 increased by ¥162,075 million to ¥132,494 million from net cash provided by investing activities of
¥29,581 million in fiscal 2004. This was due mainly to increases in purchases of government bonds and deposits of negotiable certificate of deposits in consideration of market trends and current and future financial position according to our
investment policy. In addition, in fiscal 2005, there was no cash inflow from withdrawal of restricted cash for settlement regarding the LaPine Case.

Net cash used in financing activities in fiscal 2005 increased by ¥46,922 million, or 229.8%, to ¥67,344 million
from ¥20,422 million in fiscal 2004. This was due mainly to a decrease in proceeds from issuance of long-term debt and an increase in repayments of long-term debt.



The yens depreciation against the U.S. dollar and Euro between March 31, 2004 and 2005 resulted in increases in cash and cash
equivalents of ¥3,775 million.



At March 31, 2005, cash and cash
equivalents totaled ¥310,592 million. This represented a decrease of ¥50,540 million, or 14.0%, from ¥361,132 million at March 31, 2004. Most of Kyoceras cash and cash equivalents were denominated in yen but certain cash and
cash equivalents, mainly in overseas subsidiaries, were denominated in foreign currencies, such as the U.S. dollar.



Assets, liabilities and stockholders equity



Kyoceras total assets at March 31, 2006 increased by ¥186,003 million ($1,590 million), or 10.7%, to ¥1,931,522 million ($16,509 million), compared
with ¥1,745,519 million at March 31, 2005.



Cash and cash equivalents
decreased by ¥9,783 million ($84 million), or 3.1%, to ¥300,809 million ($2,571 million). This was due mainly to the effect of purchases of government bonds and deposits with over 3 months original maturities aiming for higher interest from
investments, exceeding cash gained by the sale of all of Kyoceras shares of Taito Corporation.



Short-term investments increased by ¥53,004 million ($453 million), or 151.7%, to ¥87,942 million ($752 million), due mainly to increases in deposits with over 3 months original maturities and bonds maturing
within one year, which were reclassified from securities and other investments. Short-term and long-term finance receivables increased by ¥13,247 million ($113 million), or 12.4%, to ¥120,475 million ($1,030 million), due mainly to an
increase of loan assets by Kyocera Leasing Co., Ltd. Short-term and long-term finance receivables also included finance lease receivables.



Inventories decreased by ¥22,847 million ($195 million), or 10.7%, to ¥190,564 million ($1,629 million). This was due mainly to a reduction of inventories in the
Telecommunications Equipment Group in Kyocera Corporation and in Kyocera Mita Corporation, as well as sales of inventories following the outsourcing of the manufacture of mobile phone handsets of Kyocera Wireless Corp.



Investments in and advances to affiliates and unconsolidated subsidiaries decreased by
¥23,268 million ($199 million), or 76.0%, to ¥7,355 million ($63 million), due mainly to the sale of all of Kyoceras shares of Taito Corporation and loss on impairment of investment in Triumph-Adler AG Group, an affiliate of Kyocera
Mita Corporation.



Securities and other investments increased by ¥122,940
million ($1,051 million), or 28.6%, to ¥553,377 million ($4,730 million), due mainly to an increase in market value at March 31, 2006 of the shares of KDDI Corporation and other equity securities compared with March 31, 2005, and
purchases of government bonds. Total property, plant and equipment at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, increased by ¥26,349 million ($225 million), or 10.2%, to ¥285,346 million ($2,439 million). In fiscal 2006, aggressive capital
expenditures were executed in the solar energy business and organic package business. Capital expenditure in fiscal 2006 was ¥90,271 million ($772 million) and depreciation was ¥63,018 million ($539 million).



Intangible assets increased by ¥15,380 million ($131 million), or 97.1%, to ¥31,227
million ($267 million), due mainly to an increase of patent rights in the Telecommunications Equipment Group. Kyoceras total liabilities at March 31, 2006 increased by ¥67,317 million ($575 million), or 13.2%, to ¥577,503 million
($4,936 million), compared with ¥510,186 million at March 31, 2005.

Total debt, comprised of short-term borrowings and long-term debt including debt due within one year, decreased by
¥3,592 million ($31 million), or 2.5%, to ¥140,572 million ($1,201 million), as repayments of loans exceeded borrowings from banks. Trade notes and accounts payable increased by ¥16,631 million ($142 million), or 19.1%, to ¥103,503
million ($885 million), due mainly to increases of purchases with strong demand for components.

performance at AVX Corporation. Total stockholders equity at March 31, 2006 increased by ¥114,226 million ($976 million), or 9.7%, to ¥1,289,077 million ($11,018 million), compared with ¥1,174,851 million at March 31,
2005. Retained earnings at March 31, 2006 increased by ¥50,948 million ($435 million), or 5.6%, due to net income for fiscal 2006 of ¥69,696 million ($596 million) and cash dividend payments of ¥18,748 million ($160 million).



Accumulated other comprehensive income increased by ¥61,108 million ($522
million), or 516.2%, to ¥72,947 million ($623 million). Net unrealized gains on securities increased by ¥40,188 million ($343 million), or 94.6%, due mainly to an increase in market value at March 31, 2006 of the shares of KDDI
Corporation and other equity securities compared with March 31, 2005. Foreign currency translation adjustments increased by ¥21,396 million ($183 million), or 73.9% due to the depreciation of the yen against the U.S. dollar and Euro. The

to ¥90,865 million ($777 million) and ¥49,707 million ($425 million), respectively. Over 80% of those debts were attributable to Kyocera Mita Corporation and Kyocera Leasing Co., Ltd. Kyocera Leasing Co., Ltd. provides financial services
such as credit financing and leasing. Due to the nature of its operations, Kyocera Leasing Co., Ltd. had ¥80,351 million ($687 million) of short-term borrowings and ¥25,857 million ($221 million) of long-term debt from banks and other

A. Directors and Senior Management



Since
April 1, 2006, Kyocera implemented a new management system. In June 2005, Kyocera initiated a management system with the roles of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and the Chief Operating Officer (COO).
Subsequently, however, Kyocera decided that its traditional management system, which had been in place for many years, enables faster decision-making across-the-board through the use of a top management system comprising the chairman, the deputy
chairman and the president. With this setup, the chairman takes on the position as the head of the board of directors, providing guidance to the president, while the president has total responsibility for daily business execution. It is also
believed that more accurate management decisions can be made with the traditional system as the chairman, the deputy chairman and the president can provide diverse perspectives on critical issues.



The following table shows Kyoceras Directors and
Corporate Auditors as of June 26, 2006.

B. Compensation



The aggregate amount of
compensation, including bonuses, paid by Kyocera Corporation and its certain subsidiaries in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 to all Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Auditors of Kyocera Corporation and its certain subsidiaries
was ¥1,272 million ($11 million). The aggregate amount includes compensation and bonuses paid during the three months ended June 30, 2006 to one Director and one Corporate Auditor who retired on June 28, 2005, and excludes the lump sum
retirement allowance paid to them. The number of Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Auditors to whom the above aggregate amount relates differs from the number of Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Auditors as of the filing date of
this Form 20-F.



In accordance with customary Japanese business practice, when
a Director or Corporate Auditor retires, a proposal to pay a lump sum retirement allowance is submitted to the ordinary general meeting of shareholders for approval. After such approval, the amount to be paid to each Director or Corporate Auditor is
consulted with and fixed by the Board of Directors in accordance with Kyocera Corporations internal regulations. Annual provisions are made in the accounts of Kyocera Corporation for the estimated cost of the retirement allowance for Directors
and Corporate Auditors.

The annual provisions and costs charged to income for such retirement allowance for fiscal 2006 were ¥1,444 million
($12 million).



We have neither disclosed to our shareholders nor otherwise
made public any of the information specified in this item for individually named Directors, Officers or Corporate Auditors.



C. Board Practices



In accordance with the
requirements of the Company Law of Japan which came into effect on May 1, 2006 (the Company Law), our Articles of Incorporation provide for not more than five Corporate Auditors. Corporate Auditors are elected at a general meeting
of shareholders, and their normal term of office is four years. However, Corporate Auditors may serve any number of consecutive terms. At least half of the Corporate Auditors must be persons who have not been Directors or employees of Kyocera
Corporation or its subsidiaries (Outside Corporate Auditors). Corporate Auditors form the Board of Corporate Auditors. Corporate Auditors are under a statutory duty to oversee the administration of our affairs by the Directors, to
examine our financial statements and business reports to be submitted by the Board of Directors to the general meetings of shareholders and to report their opinions thereon to the shareholders. They are obliged to attend meetings of the Board of
Directors and to express their opinions, but they are not entitled to vote. Corporate Auditors also have a statutory duty to provide their report on the audit report prepared by our independent certified public accountants to the Board of Corporate
Auditors, which must submit its audit report to the Board of Directors. The Board of Corporate Auditors will also determine matters relating to the duties of the Corporate Auditors, such as audit policy and methods of investigation of our affairs.



Under the Company Law, the Directors and Corporate Auditors are liable for any
damages suffered by us as a result of their violation of laws or regulations or any failure to perform their duties. Under our Articles of Incorporation, any such liabilities incurred by the Outside Corporate Auditors may, except in the case of
willful misconduct or gross negligence or in certain other cases, be limited by a liability limitation agreement entered into between the Outside Corporate Auditors and us, up to an amount to be calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions
of the Company Law with reference to annual remuneration, retirement allowance and profits received upon exercise or transfer of stock options, if any.



Kyocera Corporation has no remuneration committee. Matters of remuneration are decided by top management as a group. None of our Directors have contracts with us
providing for benefits upon termination. It is customary to provide lump-sum severance benefits to Directors and Corporate Auditors upon retirement and we provide such benefits in accordance with our internal regulations.



There is no arrangement or understanding between any Director or Corporate Auditor and any
other person pursuant to which he was elected as a Director or a Corporate Auditor.



There is no family relationship between any Director or Corporate Auditor and any other Director or Corporate Auditor.



The rights of ADR holders, including their rights relating to corporate governance practice,
are provided in the Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement and an amendment thereto which are included in an exhibit to this Form 20-F. See also Item 10.B Memorandum and Articles of Association of this Form 20-F.

Most regular employees of Kyocera Corporation, other than
management, are members of the Kyocera Union. Over 90% of Kyocera Corporations regular employees are members of this union. The Kyocera Union is only open to Kyocera Corporation employees, not to our Japanese or overseas subsidiaries. The
employees at three of our subsidiaries in Japan are unionized. Employees at our Japanese subsidiaries are not otherwise unionized. In the United States, our employees are generally unionized, subsidiaries in other countries are unionized on a
case-by-case basis. Employees of our overseas subsidiaries belong to labor unions organized by industry, as opposed to a company specific union like the Kyocera Union. There is no material item to be specifically addressed regarding relationships
between labor and management.

common stock with addresses in the United States, holding 20,600,709 shares of the outstanding common stock on that date. Because some of these shares were held by brokers or other nominees, the number of record holders with addresses in the United
States might not fully show the number of beneficial owners in the United States.

Financial Statements



The information required by this item is set forth beginning on page F-2 of this Form 20-F.



Dividend Policy



Since the listing of its shares, Kyocera Corporation has endeavored to increase dividends per share in line with improvements in performance. Kyocera Corporation has also boosted dividends by actively undertaking free
share distributions and stock splits. Traditionally, Kyocera Corporation has set dividend amounts with the goal of maintaining stable dividends to shareholders. In the interest of shareholders, however, Kyocera has decided, commencing with the
year-end dividend relating to fiscal 2005, to change this policy to establish a greater linkage between dividend amounts and its performance. In particular, Kyocera will determine dividend amounts based on an overall assessment that will take into
consideration capital expenditures necessary for the further development of itself from a medium to long-term perspective, while also aiming for a payout ratio of approximately 20 to 25% on a consolidated basis.



Based on this policy, Kyocera Corporation decided that the year-end dividend for fiscal 2006
should be ¥50 per share in the ordinary general meeting of shareholders on June 23, 2006. When aggregated with the interim dividend ¥50 per share, the total annual dividend amount was ¥100 per share.



We held board of directors meeting for the interim dividend on October 27, 2005.



B. Significant Changes



Except as disclosed in this Form 20-F, there have been no significant changes since March 31, 2006.

##### Table of Contents

Directors



Under the Company Law, the Board of Directors has the ultimate responsibility for the management of Kyocera Corporation and each Representative Director, who is elected
from among the members of the Board of Directors, has the statutory authority to represent Kyocera Corporation in all respects. Under both the Company Law and the Regulations of the Board of Directors of Kyocera Corporation, the Directors must
refrain from engaging in any business competing with Kyocera Corporation unless approved by the Board of Directors and any Director who has a material interest in the subject matter of a resolution to be taken by the Board of Directors cannot vote
in such resolution. The Company Law and the Articles of Incorporation of Kyocera Corporation provide that remuneration of Directors and Corporate Auditors shall be determined at a general meeting of shareholders.



Except as stated below, neither the Company Law nor Kyocera Corporations Articles of
Incorporation make any special provision as to a Directors or Corporate Auditors power to vote in connection with their compensation; or the borrowing powers exercisable by a Representative Director (or a Director who is given power by a
Representative Director to exercise such powers), their retirement age or requirement to hold any shares of capital stock of Kyocera Corporation.



The Company Law specifically requires a resolution of the Board of Directors for a joint stock corporation, among other things, to acquire or dispose of material assets;
to borrow substantial amounts of money; to employ or discharge from employment important employees, such as executive officers; to establish, change or abolish a material corporate organization such as a branch office; or to issue bonds. A
resolution of the Board of Directors is also specifically required for the establishment of a control system to ensure adequacy of Kyocera Corporations affairs, such as a control system to ensure the exercise of Directors duty to comply
with laws and regulations and the Articles of Incorporation of Kyocera Corporation. The Regulations of the Board of Directors of Kyocera Corporation require a resolution of the Board of Directors for Kyocera Corporation, among other things, to issue
of bonds or bonds with stock acquisition rights; to borrow, lend or contribute a significant amount of money; to give a guarantee of a significant amount of debt; or to waive the right to receive a significant amount of money. The Regulations of the
Board of Directors of Kyocera Corporation defines a significant amount as five billion yen or more with respect to borrowing and one hundred million yen or more with respect to other matters. The Regulations of the Board of Directors of
Kyocera Corporation also require a resolution of the Board of Directors to approve any transaction between a Director and Kyocera Corporation; allocate remuneration and bonuses of Directors as previously determined or approved by the general meeting
of shareholders ; or determine the amount and manner of payment of retirement allowances or condolence money payable to Directors, determination of which has been previously entrusted to the Board of Directors by the general meeting of shareholders.



Capital Stock



Authorized capital



Article 5 of the Articles of Incorporation of Kyocera Corporation provides that the total number of shares authorized for issuance by
Kyocera Corporation is 600,000,000 shares. If shares of common stock are retired, the number of shares so retired shall be deducted from the total number of shares authorized to be issued by Kyocera Corporation.



Distributions of Surplus



General



Under the Company Law, distributions of cash or other assets by joint stock corporations to
their shareholders, so called dividends, are referred to as distributions of Surplus (Surplus is defined in  Restriction on distributions of Surplus). Kyocera Corporation may make distributions
of Surplus to its shareholders any number of times per fiscal year, subject to certain limitations described in  Restriction on distributions of Surplus. Distributions of Surplus are required in principle to be authorized by a
resolution of a general meeting of shareholders, but may also be made pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors if all the requirements described in (a) through (c) are met:



| | (a) | Kyocera Corporations Articles of Incorporation provide that the Board of Directors has the authority to decide to make distributions of Surplus;
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



- 84 -



---

##### Table of Contents

| | (b) | the normal term of office of Kyocera Corporations Directors is not longer than one year; and
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | Kyocera Corporations non-consolidated annual financial statements and certain documents for the latest fiscal year present fairly its assets and profit or loss, as required by
ordinances of the Ministry of Justice.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



In the case of Kyocera
Corporation, at present, the requirements in (a) and (b) above are not met. Nevertheless, Kyocera Corporation may make distributions of Surplus in cash as an interim dividend (an interim dividend) to its shareholders by
resolutions of the Board of Directors once per fiscal year under Kyocera Corporations Articles of Incorporation and the Company Law.



Under Kyocera Corporations Articles of Incorporation, a year-end dividend may be distributed to shareholders of record as of March 31 of each year pursuant to
a resolution of a general meeting of shareholders, and an interim dividend may be distributed to shareholders of record as of September 30 of each year pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors. In addition, under the Company Law,
Kyocera Corporation may make further distributions of Surplus by resolution of general meetings of shareholders. Kyocera Corporation is not obliged to pay any dividends unclaimed for a period of three years after the date on which they first became
payable.



Distributions of Surplus, other than interim dividends, may be made
in cash or in kind in proportion to the number of shares held by each shareholder. A resolution of a general meeting of shareholders or the Board of Directors authorizing a distribution of Surplus must specify the kind and aggregate book value of
the assets to be distributed, the manner of allocation of such assets to shareholders, and the effective date of the distribution. If a distribution of Surplus is to be made in kind, Kyocera Corporation may, pursuant to a resolution of a general
meeting of shareholders or (as the case may be) the Board of Directors, grant a right to its shareholders to require Kyocera Corporation to make such distribution in cash instead of in kind. If no such right is granted to shareholders, the relevant
distribution of Surplus must be approved by a special resolution of a general meeting of shareholders (see Voting rights with respect to a special resolution).



In Japan the ex-dividend date and the record date for dividends precede the date of determination of the amount of the dividend
to be paid. The market price of shares generally goes ex-dividend on the third business day prior to the record date.



Restriction on distributions of Surplus



When Kyocera Corporation makes a distribution of Surplus, it must, until the sum of its additional paid-in capital and legal reserve reaches one-quarter of its stated
capital, set aside in its additional paid-in capital and/or legal reserve an amount equal to one-tenth of the amount of Surplus so distributed.



The amount of Surplus at any given time must be calculated in accordance with the following formula:



A + B + C + D - (E + F + G)



In the above formula:

or legal reserve (if any) as required by ordinances of the Ministry of Justice



The aggregate book value of Surplus
distributed by Kyocera Corporation may not exceed a prescribed distributable amount (the Distributable Amount), as calculated on the effective date of such distribution. The Distributable Amount at any given time shall be equal to the
amount of Surplus less the aggregate of (a) the book value of its treasury stock, (b) the amount of consideration for any of its treasury stock disposed of by it after the end of the last fiscal year and (c) certain other amounts set
forth in ordinances of the Ministry of Justice, including (if the sum of one-half of goodwill and the deferred assets exceeds the total of stated capital, additional paid-in capital and legal reserve, each such amount being that appearing on Kyocera
Corporations non-consolidated balance sheet as of the end of the last fiscal year) all or certain part of such exceeding amount as calculated in accordance with the ordinances of the Ministry of Justice.



If Kyocera Corporation has become at its option a company with respect to which consolidated
balance sheets should also be taken into consideration in the calculation of the Distributable Amount (renketsu haito kisei tekiyo kaisha), it will be required to further deduct from the amount of Surplus the excess amount, if any, of
(x) the total amount of shareholders equity appearing on its non-consolidated balance sheet as of the end of the last fiscal year and certain other amounts set forth by an ordinance of the Ministry of Justice over (y) the total
amount of shareholders equity and certain other amounts set forth by an ordinance of the Ministry of Justice appearing on its consolidated balance sheet as of the end of the last fiscal year.



If Kyocera Corporation has prepared interim financial statements as described below, and if
such interim financial statements have been approved by the Board of Directors or (if so required by the Company Law) by a general meeting of shareholders, then the Distributable Amount must be adjusted to take into account the amount of profit or
loss, and the amount of consideration for any of its treasury stock disposed of by it, during the period in respect of which such interim financial statements have been prepared. Kyocera Corporation may prepare non-consolidated interim financial
statements consisting of a balance sheet as of any date subsequent to the end of the last fiscal year and an income statement for the period from the first day of the current fiscal year to the date of such balance sheet. Interim financial
statements so prepared by Kyocera Corporation must be audited by its Corporate Auditors and independent certified public accountants, as required by ordinances of the Ministry of Justice.

General Meeting of Shareholders



Pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation of Kyocera Corporation, an ordinary general meeting of shareholders of Kyocera Corporation shall
be convened within three months after the last day of each fiscal year, either in Kyoto City or at the Shiga Factory of Kyocera Corporation. In addition, Kyocera Corporation may hold an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders whenever
necessary.



Notice of a shareholders meeting, setting forth the place,
time and purpose thereof, must be mailed to each shareholder having voting rights (or, in the case of a non-resident shareholder, to the resident proxy or mailing address thereof in Japan) at least two weeks prior to the date set for the meeting.
Under the Company Law, such notice may be given to shareholders by electronic means, subject to the consent by the relevant shareholders.



Any shareholder or group of shareholders holding at least 300 voting rights (see Unit share system below) or one percent of the total number of
voting rights for six months or more may propose a matter to be considered at a general meeting of shareholders by submitting a written request to a Representative Director at least eight weeks prior to the date set for such meeting. If Kyocera
Corporations Articles of Incorporation so provide, any of the minimum percentages, time periods and number of voting rights necessary for exercising the minority shareholder rights described above may be decreased or shortened.



Voting rights



A holder of shares constituting one or more whole units (see Unit share system below) is entitled to one vote for
each whole unit of shares. However, in general, neither Kyocera Corporation nor any corporate shareholder or certain other entity one-quarter or more of the total voting rights of which are directly or indirectly held by Kyocera Corporation, has
voting rights in respect of the shares held by Kyocera Corporation or such entity.



Except as otherwise provided by law or by the Articles of Incorporation of Kyocera Corporation, a resolution can be adopted at a general meeting of shareholders by a majority of the total number of voting rights represented at the meeting.
Under the Company Law and Kyocera Corporations Articles of Incorporation, however, the quorum for the election of Directors and Corporate Auditors is one-third of the total number of voting rights. Kyocera Corporations shareholders are
not entitled to cumulative voting in the election of Directors. Shareholders may exercise their voting rights through proxies, provided that the proxies are also shareholders holding voting rights. Kyocera Corporations shareholders also may
cast their votes in writing. Holders of shares who do not attend a general meeting of shareholders may also exercise their voting rights by electronic means if the Board of Directors approves such method of exercising voting rights.



The Company Law provides that certain important matters shall be approved by a special
resolution of a general meeting of shareholders. Under Kyocera Corporations Articles of Incorporation, the quorum for a special resolution is one-third of the total number of voting rights and the approval of at least two-thirds of the
voting rights represented at the meeting is required for adopting a special resolution. Such important matters include:



| | (i) | purchase of shares by Kyocera Corporation from a specific shareholder other than Kyocera Corporations subsidiary;

shareholders approval.
| | ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Under the Company Law , Kyocera
Corporations shareholders will possess various rights, such as the right to review and make copies of its Articles of Incorporation and the register of shareholders, to convene a general meeting of shareholders, to propose a matter to be
considered at a general meeting of shareholders, and to bring derivative actions, depending upon the number of shares held by them and the duration of their shareholding.



Subscription rights



Holders of Kyocera Corporations shares of capital stock have no pre-emptive rights under its Articles of Incorporation. Authorized but unissued shares may be issued
at such times and upon such terms as the Board of Directors determines, subject to the limitations as to the offering of new shares at a specially favorable price mentioned under Voting rights above. The Board of Directors
may, however, determine that shareholders of a particular class of stock shall be given subscription rights regarding a particular issue of new shares of that class, in which case such rights must be given on uniform terms to all shareholders of
that class of stock as at a record date of which not less than two weeks prior public notice must be given. Each of the shareholders to whom such rights are given must also be given notice of the expiry thereof at least two weeks prior
to the date on which such rights expire.



Liquidation rights



In the event of a liquidation of Kyocera Corporation, the assets remaining after payment
of all debts and liquidation expenses and taxes will be distributed among the holders of our shares of common stock in proportion to the respective numbers of shares held by each holder.

Record date



March 31 is the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive Kyocera Corporations year-end dividends and to vote at the ordinary
general meeting of shareholders with respect to the fiscal year ending on such March 31. September 30 is the record date for interim dividends. In addition, Kyocera Corporation may set a record date for determining the shareholders
and/or beneficial shareholders entitled to other rights and for other purposes by giving at least two weeks prior public notice.



Acquisition by Kyocera Corporation of its capital stock



Kyocera Corporation may acquire shares (i) by soliciting all its shareholders to offer to sell shares held by them (in this case, certain terms of such acquisition,
such as the total number of shares to be purchased and the total amount of consideration, shall be set by an ordinary resolution of a general meeting of shareholders in advance, and acquisition shall be effected pursuant to a resolution of the Board
of Directors), (ii) from a specific shareholder other than any of Kyocera Corporations subsidiaries (pursuant to a special resolution of a general meeting of shareholders), (iii) from any of Kyocera Corporations subsidiaries
(pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors), or (iv) by way of purchase on any Japanese stock exchange on which the shares are listed or by way of tender offer (in either case pursuant to an ordinary resolution of a general meeting of
shareholders or a resolution of the Board of Directors). In the case of (ii) above, any other shareholder may make a request to Kyocera Corporations Representative Director that such other shareholder be included as a seller in the
proposed purchase, provided that no such right will be available if the purchase price or any other consideration to be received by the relevant specific shareholder will not exceed the last trading price of the shares on the relevant stock exchange
on the day immediately preceding the date on which the resolution mentioned in (ii) above was adopted (or, if there is no trading in the shares on the stock exchange or if the stock exchange is not open on such day, the price at which the
shares are first traded on such stock exchange thereafter).



The total amount
of the purchase price of shares may not exceed the Distributable Amount, as described in Distributions of Surplus  Restriction on distributions of Surplus.



The Company Law permits Kyocera Corporation to hold shares acquired by it as treasury stock. Treasury stock may be held by Kyocera
Corporation for any time period and may be cancelled by resolution of its Board of Directors. Kyocera Corporation may also transfer to any person shares held by it as treasury stock, subject to a resolution of its Board of Directors, and subject
also to other requirements similar to those applicable to the issuance of new shares. Kyocera Corporation may also utilize its treasury stock for the purpose of transfer to any person upon exercise of stock acquisition rights or for the purpose of
acquiring another company by way of merger, share exchange or corporate split through exchange of treasury stock for shares or assets of the acquired company. No specific approval by the Board of Directors or shareholders at a shareholders meeting
is required for this utilization of treasury stock, although the grant of the relevant stock acquisition rights or the relevant merger, share exchange or corporate split must be approved, as the case may be, by the Board of Directors or shareholders
at Kyocera Corporations shareholders meeting.



Unit
share system



Under Kyocera Corporations Articles of Incorporation,
100 shares constitute one unit. The Board of Directors is permitted to reduce the number of shares constituting a unit or to abolish the unit share system in its entirety by amending Kyocera Corporations Articles of Incorporation
without approval by shareholders. The number of shares constituting one unit may not exceed 1,000.



Kyocera Corporations Articles of Incorporation and Share Handling Regulations provide that no share certificates shall, in general, be issued with respect to any shares constituting less than one unit.
Consequently, no certificates for shares other than a full unit or an integral multiple thereof will be issued (except for the purpose of protection of the holders of shares constituting less than one unit). As the transfer of shares normally
requires delivery of the relevant share certificates, any fraction of a unit for which no share certificates are issued will not be transferable.

##### Table of Contents

Under the unit share system, a shareholder has one vote for each unit of shares held by it. Shares not constituting a
full unit will carry no voting rights and be excluded for the purposes of calculating the quorum for voting purposes. Moreover, holders of shares constituting less than one unit will have no other shareholder rights if Kyocera Corporations
Articles of Incorporation so provide, except that such holders may not be deprived of certain rights specified in the Company Law or an ordinance of the Ministry of Justice, including the right to receive distribution of Surplus.



A holder of shares constituting less than one unit may require Kyocera Corporation to
purchase such shares at their market value. The Articles of Incorporation and the Share Handling Regulations of Kyocera Corporation provide that a holder of shares constituting less than one unit has the right to require Kyocera Corporation to sell
to such holder shares constituting less than one unit which, when added to shares constituting less than one unit currently owned by such holder, shall constitute a full one unit. The request of such purchase or sale may not be withdrawn without
Kyocera Corporations consent.



A holder who owns ADRs evidencing less
than 100 ADSs will indirectly own less than a whole unit. Although, as discussed above, under the unit share system holders of less than a unit have the right to require Kyocera Corporation to purchase their shares, holders of ADRs evidencing ADSs
that represent other than integral multiples of whole units are unable to withdraw the underlying shares of capital stock representing less than a unit and, therefore, are unable, as a practical matter, to exercise the rights to require Kyocera
Corporation to purchase such underlying shares. As a result, access to the Japanese markets by holders of ADRs through the withdrawal mechanism will not be available for dispositions of shares in lots of less than a unit. The unit share system does
not affect the transferability of ADSs, which may be transferred in lots of any size.



Miscellaneous



The Securities and Exchange Law of Japan and
related regulations require any person who has become, beneficially and solely or jointly, a holder of more than five percent of the total issued voting shares of Kyocera Corporation to file a report concerning such shareholdings with the Director
of the relevant Local Finance Bureau of the Ministry of Finance within five business days.



For this purpose, shares to be issued or transferred to these persons upon the exercise of stock acquisition rights are included in determining both the size of the holding and Kyocera Corporations total issued
voting share capital.



A similar report must also be filed in respect of any
subsequent change of one percent or more in any such holding, with certain exceptions. (For this purpose, any shares of Kyocera Corporation issuable to such person upon conversion of convertible securities or exercise of stock acquisition rights, of
which none are currently outstanding, would be taken into account in determining both the number of shares held by such holder and Kyocera Corporations total issued share capital.) Copies of such report must also be furnished to Kyocera
Corporation and to all Japanese stock exchanges on which the shares of Kyocera Corporation are listed.



Except for the general limitation under Japanese anti-trust and anti-monopoly regulations against holding of shares of capital stock of a Japanese corporation which leads or may lead to a restraint of trade or
monopoly, and except for general limitations under the Company Law or Kyocera Corporations Articles of Incorporation on the rights of shareholders applicable regardless of residence or nationality, there is no limitation under Japanese laws
and regulations applicable to Kyocera Corporation or under its Articles of Incorporation on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on the shares of capital stock of Kyocera Corporation.

##### Table of Contents

There is no provision in Kyocera Corporations Articles of Incorporation that would have an effect of delaying,
deferring or preventing a change in control of Kyocera Corporation and that would operate only with respect to merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving Kyocera Corporation.



Daily Price Fluctuation Limits under Japanese Stock Exchange Rules



Share prices on Japanese stock exchanges are determined on a real-time basis by the
equilibrium between bids and offers. These exchanges set daily price limits, which limit the maximum range of fluctuation within a single trading day. Daily price limits are set according to the previous days closing price or special quote.
Although transactions may continue at the upward or downward limit price if the limit price is reached on a particular trading day, no transactions may take place outside these limits. Consequently, an investor wishing to sell at a price above or
below the relevant daily limit may not be able to sell his or her shares at such price on a particular trading day, or at all.



On June 26, 2006, the closing price of our shares of Common Stock on the Tokyo Stock Exchange was ¥ 8,830 per share. The following table shows the daily price limit
for a stock on the Tokyo Stock Exchange with a closing price of between ¥5,000 and ¥10,000 per share, as well as the daily price limit if our per share price were to rise to between ¥10,000 and ¥20,000, or fall to between ¥3,000
and ¥5,000. Other daily price limits would apply if our per share price moved to other ranges.

C. Material Contracts



During the preceding two
years we have not entered into any material contracts, other than in the ordinary course of business.



D. Exchange Controls



There is no foreign
exchange control in Japan that may materially affect the import or export of capital, including the availability of cash and cash equivalents for use by Kyocera Corporation, or the remittance of dividends or other payments to nonresident holders of
Kyocera Corporations shares or of ADRs evidencing ADSs.

Generally, a non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation is subject to Japanese withholding tax on dividends paid by Japanese
corporations. Stock splits, subject to the following, are not subject to Japanese income tax.



| |  |  | The Convention Between the United States of America and Japan for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income (the
Treaty), establishes the maximum rate of Japanese withholding tax which may be imposed on dividends paid to an United States resident or corporation not having a permanent establishment in Japan. A permanent
establishment in Japan is generally a fixed place of business for industrial or commercial activity in Japan. Under the Treaty, the maximum withholding rate for most qualified portfolio shareholders is limited to 10% of the gross amount of the
dividends and 5% of the gross amount of the dividends if the beneficial owner is a qualified company that owns, directly or indirectly, on the date on which entitlement to the dividend is determined, at least 10% (but not more than 50%) of the
voting stock of the issuing company. The Treaty provides that no Japanese tax will be imposed on dividends paid to a qualified pension fund that is a United States resident, if such dividends are not derived from the carrying on of a business,
directly or indirectly, by such pension fund.

For purposes of
the Treaty and Japanese tax law, U.S. holders of ADRs will be treated as the owners of the shares underlying the ADSs evidenced by the ADRs.



Japan has income tax treaties, conventions or agreements, which generally provide that the rate of withholding tax may not exceed 15% for portfolio investors, with, among
others, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The income tax treaty between Japan and the United
Kingdom has recently been amended to reduce the maximum withholding tax rate to 10%, with such amendment to take effect following completion of required procedures. The withholding tax rate is further reduced if investors and Kyocera Corporation
have some capital relationship as provided for in an applicable tax treaty.



In
principle, the rate of Japanese withholding tax applicable to dividends paid by Kyocera Corporation to non-residents or non-Japanese corporations is 20%. However, with respect to dividends paid by Kyocera Corporation to any corporate or individual
shareholders who are non-residents of Japan or non-Japanese corporations, except for any individual shareholder who holds 5% or more of the outstanding total of the shares issued by Kyocera Corporation, the said 20% withholding tax rate is reduced
to (i) 7% for dividends due and payable on or before March 31, 2008 and (ii) 15% for dividends due and payable on or after April 1, 2008. Under Japanese tax law, whichever is the lower of the maximum rate provided in the relevant
tax treaty, convention or agreement and the Japanese statutory rate will be applicable.



Gains derived from the sale outside Japan of the shares or ADSs by a non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation are in general not subject to Japanese income or corporation taxes. In addition, gains derived from the sale of shares
or ADSs within Japan by a non-resident of Japan or non-Japanese corporation not having a permanent establishment in Japan are in general not subject to Japanese income or corporation taxes.

United States Taxation



The following discusses United States federal income tax consequences of the ownership of
shares or ADSs. It only applies to holders of shares who hold their ADSs as capital assets. It does not address special classes of holders, some of whom may be subject to special rules including:



| |  |  | tax-exempt entities,
| | - |  | --------------------



| |  |  | certain insurance companies,
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | broker-dealers,
| | - |  | ---------------



| |  |  | traders in securities that elect to mark to market,
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | investors liable for alternative minimum tax,
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  |  | investors that hold shares or ADSs as part of a straddle or a hedging or conversion transaction,
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | U.S. holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, or
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | investors that actually or constructively own 10% or more of Kyocera Corporations voting stock.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



This discussion is based on the tax laws of the United States, including the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, its legislative
history, existing and proposed regulations and administrative and judicial interpretations, as currently in effect, as well as on the Treaty. These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. In addition, this discussion is based in
part upon the representations of the depositary and the assumption that each obligation in the deposit agreement relating to the ADRs and any related agreement will be performed in accordance with its terms.



For purposes of this discussion, a U.S. holder is a beneficial owner of shares or
ADSs that is:



| |  |  | a citizen or resident of the United States,
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a domestic corporation,
| | - |  | -----------------------



| |  |  | an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, or
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a trust if a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the trusts administration and one or more United States persons are authorized to control all
substantial decisions of the trust.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



This discussion addresses
only United States federal income taxation. An investor should consult its own tax advisor regarding the United States federal, state and local and other tax consequences of owning and disposing of shares or ADSs in its particular circumstances.



In general, and taking into account the earlier assumptions, for United States
federal income tax purposes, if the investor holds ADRs evidencing ADSs, the investor will be treated as the owner of the shares represented by those ADSs. Exchanges of shares for ADRs, and ADRs for shares, generally will not be subject to United
States federal income tax.

##### Table of Contents

The discussion under the headings Taxation of Dividends and Taxation of Capital Gains assumes
that Kyocera Corporation will not be treated as a passive foreign investment company (PFIC) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For a discussion of the rules that apply if Kyocera is treated as a PFIC, see the discussion under the heading below
PFIC Rules.



Taxation of Dividends



Under the United States federal income tax laws, if the investor is a U.S. holder, the gross
amount of any dividend paid by Kyocera Corporation out of its current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for United States federal income tax purposes, is subject to United States federal income taxation. If the investor is a
non-corporate U.S. holder, dividends paid in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2011 that constitute qualified dividend income will be taxable at a maximum rate of 15% provided that the shares or ADSs are held for more than 60 days
during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date and meet other holding period requirements. Dividends paid with respect to shares or ADSs generally will be qualified dividend income. The investor must include any Japanese tax
withheld from the dividend payment in this gross amount even though he does not in fact receive it.



The dividend is ordinary income that the investor must include in income when the investor, in the case of shares, or the depositary, in the case of ADSs, receives the dividend, actually or constructively. The
dividend will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to United States corporations in respect of dividends received from other United States corporations.



The amount of the dividend distribution that the investor must include in his income as a U.S. holder will be the U.S. dollar value of the
Japanese yen payments made, determined at the spot Japanese yen/U.S. dollar rate on the date the dividend distribution is includible in the investors income, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. Generally,
any gain or loss resulting from currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date the investor includes the dividend payment in income to the date he converts the payment into U.S. dollars will be treated as ordinary income or loss and
will not be eligible for the special tax rate applicable to qualified dividend income. The gain or loss generally will be income or loss from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.



Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for
United States federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the investors basis in the shares or ADSs and thereafter as capital gain.



Subject to certain limitations, the Japanese tax withheld in accordance with the Treaty and
paid over to Japan will be creditable against the investors United States federal income tax liability. Special rules apply in determining the foreign tax credit limitation with respect to dividends that are subject to the maximum 15% tax
rate. To the extent a refund of the tax withheld is available to the investor under Japanese law or under the Treaty, the amount of tax withheld that is refundable will not be eligible for credit against the investors United States federal
income tax liability. Please see Japanese Taxation, above, for the procedures for obtaining a tax refund.



Dividends will likely constitute income from sources outside the United States. Dividends paid in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2007 generally will be
passive or financial services income, and dividends paid in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2006 will, depending on your circumstances, be passive or general income, which, in either
case, is treated separately from other types of income for purposes of computing the foreign tax credit allowable to the investor.

##### Table of Contents

Distributions of additional shares to the investor with respect to shares or ADSs that are made as part of a pro rata
distribution to all shareholders of Kyocera Corporation generally will not be subject to United States federal income tax.



Taxation of Capital Gains



If the investor is a U.S. holder and the investor sells or otherwise disposes of his shares or ADSs, the investor will recognize capital gain or loss for United States
federal income tax purposes equal to the difference between the U.S. dollar value of the amount that the investor realizes and his tax basis, determined in U.S. dollars, in his shares or ADSs. Capital gain of a non-corporate U.S. holder that is
recognized in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2011 is generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15% where the holder has a holding period greater than one year. Additionally, gain or loss will generally be income or loss from sources
within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.



PFIC Rules



Kyocera believes that shares and ADSs
should not be treated as stock of a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes for its most recent taxable year. However, this conclusion is a factual determination made annually and thus may be subject to change.



In general, if the investor is a U.S. holder, Kyocera will be a PFIC with respect to the
investor if for any of its taxable years in which the investor held Kyocera Corporations ADSs or shares:



| |  |  | at least 75% of Kyoceras gross income for the taxable year is passive income, or
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | at least 50% of the value, determined on the basis of a quarterly average of Kyoceras assets, is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive
income.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Passive income generally includes dividends, interest,
royalties, rents (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. If a foreign corporation owns at least 25% by value of the stock of another
corporation, the foreign corporation is treated for purposes of the PFIC tests as owning its proportionate share of the assets of the other corporation, and as receiving directly its proportionate share of the other corporations income.



If Kyocera is treated as a PFIC, and the investor is a U.S. holder that did
not make a mark-to-market election, as described below, the investor will be subject to special rules with respect to:



| |  |  | any gain the investor realizes on the sale or other disposition of his shares or ADSs and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any excess distribution that Kyocera Corporation makes to the investor (generally, any distributions to the investor during a single taxable year that are greater than
125% of the average annual distributions received by the investor in respect of the shares or ADSs during the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, the investors holding period for the shares or ADSs.)
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Under these rules:



| |  |  | the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the investors holding period for the shares or ADSs,
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the amount allocated to the taxable year in which the investor realized the gain or excess distribution will be taxed as ordinary income,
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the amount allocated to each prior year, with certain exceptions, will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year, and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such year.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

Special rules apply for calculating the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions by a PFIC.



If the investor owns shares or ADSs in a PFIC that is treated as marketable
stock, the investor may make a mark-to-market election. If the investor makes this election, the investor will not be subject to the PFIC rules described above. Instead, in general, the investor will include as ordinary income each year the excess,
if any, of the fair market value of his shares or ADSs at the end of the taxable year over his adjusted basis in his shares or ADSs. These amounts of ordinary income will not be eligible for the favorable tax rates applicable to qualified dividend
income or long-term capital gains. The investor will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of his shares or ADSs over their fair market value at the end of the taxable year or over their
final sale or disposition prices, but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election. The investors basis in the shares or ADSs will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss
amounts.



In addition, notwithstanding any election an investor makes with
regard to the shares or ADSs, dividends that it received from us will not constitute qualified dividend income to an investor if we are a PFIC either in the taxable year of the distribution or the preceding taxable year. Moreover, an investors
shares or ADSs will be treated as stock in a PFIC if Kyocera was a PFIC at any time during the investors holding period in the shares or ADSs, even if Kyocera is not currently a PFIC. For purposes of this rule, if an investor makes a
mark-to-market election with respect to its shares or ADSs, the investor will be treated as having a new holding period in the shares or ADSs beginning on the first day of the first taxable year beginning after the last taxable year for which the
mark-to-market election applies. Dividends the investor receives that do not constitute qualified dividend income are not eligible for taxation at the 15% maximum rate applicable to qualified dividend income. Instead, the investor must include the
gross amount of any such dividend paid by Kyocera out of its accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes) in the investors gross income, and it will be subject to tax at rates applicable to
ordinary income.



If the investor owns shares or ADSs during any year that
Kyocera is a PFIC, it must file Internal Revenue Service Form 8621.

|Item 11. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
|-------- | ----------------------------------------------------------



Kyocera is exposed to market risk, including changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices. In order to hedge against these risks, Kyocera uses
derivative financial instruments. Kyocera does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Kyocera regularly assesses these market risks based on policies and procedures established to protect against adverse effects of
these risks and other potential exposures, primarily by reference to the market value of financial instruments. Although Kyocera may be exposed to losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties, Kyocera believes that its counterparties are
creditworthy and does not expect such losses, if any, to be significant. There are no material quantitative changes in market risk exposure at March 31, 2006, when compared to March 31, 2005. In the normal course of business, Kyocera also
faces other risks such as country risk, credit risk, or legal risk, but they are not represented in the following tables.



Foreign Currency Exchange Risk



Kyocera enters into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge certain existing assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, principally the U.S. dollar and
Euro. All such contracts currently in effect will mature generally within three months. The tables below provide information about Kyoceras major foreign currency forward contracts existing at March 31, 2006, setting forth the contract
amounts, fair value, and weighted average exchange rates. The contract amounts are generally used to calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged under the contracts.

Interest Rate Risk



Kyocera enters into interest rate swaps and other contracts, which are mainly utilized by a Japanese subsidiary, Kyocera Leasing Co., Ltd., to reduce market risk exposure

Equity Price Risk



Kyocera has marketable equity and debt securities, which are classified as available-for-sale and are carried in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Changes
in fair value are recognized as other comprehensive income, net of taxes, as a separate component of stockholders equity. Gross unrealized gains on marketable equity securities, which were ¥141,059 million ($1,206 million), included
¥111,178 million ($950 million) derived from a rise in the market price of the shares of KDDI Corporation held by Kyocera Corporation. Detailed information appears in Note 3 to The Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 20-F.
Kyocera evaluates whether declines in fair value of debt and equity securities with readily determinable fair values are other-than-temporary. Other-than-temporary declines in fair value are recorded as a realized loss with a new cost basis. This
evaluation is based mainly on the duration and the extent to which the fair value is less than cost and the anticipated recoverability of fair value in the future. Other-than-temporary loss on debt and equity securities with readily determinable
fair values for the years ended March 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006 amounted to ¥695 million, ¥1 million and ¥113 million ($1 million), respectively. At March 31, 2006, Kyocera held the following available-for-sale marketable equity
and debt securities.

PART II



Item 13. Defaults, Dividend Arrearages and Delinquencies



None.



Item 14. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders and Use of Proceeds



None.



Item 15. Controls and Procedures



Kyoceras management, with the participation of its principal executive and principal financial officers, evaluated the effectiveness of Kyoceras disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the U.S.
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of March 31, 2006. Based on that evaluation, Kyoceras principal executive and principal financial officers concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that date.



Except as described below, no change in Kyoceras internal control over
financial reporting occurred during the year ended March 31, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Kyoceras internal control over financial reporting.



AVX Corporation, a consolidated subsidiary of Kyocera and an SEC-reporting issuer, reported
in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2006 that it had taken actions to remediate the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that it had reported in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended March 31, 2005 and which are summarized below.



1.
AVX Corporation did not maintain effective control over the accounting for the accrual of certain management and employee bonuses. Specifically, AVX Corporation incorrectly accrued certain bonuses that were linked to continuing employment through
2006 that should not have been recognized as expense until employment had been fulfilled. This control deficiency resulted in an audit adjustment to the consolidated financial statements of AVX Corporation for the quarter ended March 31, 2005.
AVX Corporation has taken the following actions to remediate this material weakness:



| |  |  | Revised, implemented and communicated a financial policy to properly account for the accrual of certain management and employee bonuses;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Implemented a review control for the accrual of certain management and employee bonuses based on the revised financial policy.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



2. AVX Corporation did not maintain effective controls over access to
financial application programs and data. Specifically, certain AVX Corporation personnel had incompatible duties and were permitted unrestricted access to financial application programs and data beyond that needed to perform their individual job
responsibilities. Additionally, there were not effective controls in place to monitor users for inappropriate use of programs or access to data. These deficiencies existed in North America, Europe and Asia and in certain systems and processes
including cash, accounts receivable, fixed assets, other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, payroll accounts, inventory accounts and the related income statement accounts. This control deficiency did not result in a misstatement to the
consolidated financial statements of AVX Corporation. AVX Corporation has taken the following actions to remediate this material weakness:



| |  |  | Improved system access controls related to the system user set-up process and annual user recertification to restrict certain employees access to financial application
programs and data to only that needed to perform their individual job responsibilities;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Implemented additional system access monitoring controls over applicable systems for employees with access in the information systems department.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. AVX Corporation did not perform supervisory reviews over manual journal entries. Specifically, AVX
Corporations controls over the preparation, review and approval of manual journal entries were ineffective in their design. Manual journal entries are originated in North America, Europe and Asia and in all financial reporting processes. This
control deficiency did not result in a misstatement to the consolidated financial statements of AVX Corporation. AVX Corporation has taken the following actions to remediate this material weakness:



| |  |  | Implemented a policy and controls for the approval and review of non-recurring manual journal entries;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Implemented a review control over a sample of manual journal entries using an audit tool to query certain journal entry types based on specific parameters designed to detect
potential errors.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



In its annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended March 31, 2006, AVX Corporation reported further that management had evaluated the design of these new procedures, placed them in operation for a sufficient period of time and subjected them to appropriate tests in order
to conclude that they are operating effectively. Management concluded that the performance of these actions had resulted in full remediation of the material weaknesses described above.



Item 16A. Audit Committee Financial Expert



Our Board of Corporate Auditors has determined that Shigekazu Tamura, a Corporate Auditor of Kyocera Corporation, is an audit committee financial expert as such term is defined by Item 16A of Form 20-F. He was elected as
one of Kyocera Corporations corporate auditors at the general meeting of shareholders held on June 28, 2005. See Item 6.A. for additional information regarding Mr. Tamura. Mr. Tamura meets the independence requirements imposed
on corporate auditors under the Company Law.



Item 16B. Code of Ethics



Kyocera has
adopted a code of ethics that applies to Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the members of Kyocera Disclosure Committee. Kyoceras code of ethics has been attached as Exhibit 11.1 to this Form 20-F and is incorporated herein
by reference.

1) Amounts represent fees for the annual audit of Kyocera for fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2006, reviews of Kyoceras
financial statements for interim periods, other regulatory filings in fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2006 and the statutory audit of internal control over financial reporting for the U.S. listed subsidiary for fiscal 2006.



2) Amounts primarily represent fees for the audits of employee benefit plans, due diligence
services pertaining to potential business acquisitions, consultation on internal control, statutory audits of certain foreign locations and other procedures related to documents filed with the SEC in fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2006.



3) Amounts represent fees for tax services performed by the tax department of the independent
registered public accounting firm other than financial audit and international tax compliance in fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2006.



4) All other fees mainly represent fees for advisory assurance services of the preparation of Kyoceras sustainability report.



Kyoceras Board of Corporate Auditors determined that the provision of non-audit
services by ChuoAoyama PricewaterhouseCoopers to Kyocera during fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2006 was compatible with maintaining the independent registered public accounting firms independence.



Policies and Procedures of the Board of Corporate Auditors



In accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued pursuant
to Sections 202 and 208 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our Board of Corporate Auditors has adopted a pre-approval policy regarding non-audit work performed by ChuoAoyama PricewaterhouseCoopers and the related parties except for AVX Corporation
which follows its own pre-approval policy. Under Kyoceras pre-approval policy, there are two types of pre-approval procedures, General Pre-Approval and Specific Pre-Approval.



Under the pre-approval procedure for General Pre-Approval, each of Kyocera group
companies must make a proposal to Kyoceras Board of Corporate Auditors for the types of services and estimated fee levels of each category of services to be generally pre-approved. Such proposal must be made annually. If such proposal is
accepted, Kyoceras Board of Corporate Auditors includes these services in a General Pre-Approved List. In addition, our Board of Corporate Auditors is notified of each such service actually rendered.



Under the pre-approval procedure for Specific Pre-Approval, if any proposed
services are not on the General Pre-Approved List, each of Kyocera group companies must submit an application to Kyoceras Board of Corporate Auditors for such services. After reviewing the details and estimated fee levels for each engagement,
Kyoceras Board of Corporate Auditors may make a specific pre-approval decision on these services. Also, if any approved services in the General Pre-Approved List exceed the fee levels prescribed on the List, each of Kyocera group companies
must submit an application to Kyoceras Board of Corporate Auditors for new fee levels for such services. Kyoceras Board of Corporate Auditors may make a pre-approval decision after reviewing the details of the services and the estimated
fee levels for each engagement.

All of the services provided by ChuoAoyama PricewaterhouseCoopers and the related parties since Rule 2-01(c)(7) of
Regulation S-X became effective were approved by Kyoceras Board of Corporate Auditors pursuant to the pre-approval policy described above, and none of such services were approved pursuant to the procedures described in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of
Regulation S-X, which waives the general requirement for pre-approval in certain circumstances.



Item 16D. Exemption from the Listing Standards for Audit Committees



With respect to the requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 relating to listed company audit committees, which apply to us through Section 303A.06 of the New York Stock
Exchanges Listed Company Manual, we rely on an exemption provided by paragraph (c)(3) of that Rule available to foreign private issuers with boards of corporate auditors meeting certain requirements. For a New York Stock Exchange-listed
Japanese company with a board of corporate auditors, the requirements for relying on paragraph (c)(3) of Rule 10A-3 are as follows:



| | (a) | The board of corporate auditors must be established, and its members must be selected, pursuant to Japanese law expressly requiring such a board for Japanese companies that elect to
have a corporate governance system with corporate auditors.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | Japanese law must and does require the board of corporate auditors to be separate from the board of directors.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | None of the members of the board of corporate auditors is elected by management, and none of the listed companys executive officers is a member of the board of corporate
auditors.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (d) | Japanese law must and does set forth standards for the independence of the members of the board of corporate auditors from the listed company or its management.
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (e) | The board of corporate auditors, in accordance with Japanese law or the listed companys governing documents, must be responsible, to the extent permitted by Japanese law, for
the appointment, retention and oversight of the work of any registered public accounting firm engaged (including, to the extent permitted by Japanese law, the resolution of disagreements between management and the auditor regarding financial
reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services for the listed company, including its principal accountant which audits its consolidated financial statements included in its
annual reports on Form 20-F.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (f) | To the extent permitted by Japanese law:
| | --- | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | the board of corporate auditors must establish procedures for (i) the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting
controls, or auditing matters, and (ii) the confidential, anonymous submission by our employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the board of corporate auditors must have the authority to engage independent counsel and other advisers, as it determines necessary to carry out its duties; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the listed company must provide for appropriate funding, as determined by its board of corporate auditors, for payment of (i) compensation to any registered public accounting
firm engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services for us, (ii) compensation to any advisers employed by the board of corporate auditors, and (iii) ordinary
administrative expenses of the board of corporate auditors that are necessary or appropriate in carrying out its duties.

##### Table of Contents

In our assessment, our Board of Corporate Auditors, which meets the requirements for reliance on the exemption in
paragraph (c)(3) of Rule 10A-3 described above, is not materially less effective than an audit committee meeting all the requirements of paragraph (b) of Rule 10A-3 (without relying on any exemption provided by that Rule) at acting
independently of management and performing the functions of an audit committee as contemplated therein.

Kyocera Corporation



In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Kyocera Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries at March 31, 2005 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2006 in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein
when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to The Consolidated Financial Statements



Kyocera Corporation and Consolidated Subsidiaries



1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES



Financial Statements Presentation:



The accounts of Kyocera
Corporation and its Japanese subsidiaries are generally maintained in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan. Adjustments, which are not recorded in Kyocera Corporations books of account, have been made to the
accompanying consolidated financial statements in order to present them in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.



Basis of Consolidation and Accounting for Investments in Affiliated Companies:



The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kyocera Corporation, its
majority-owned subsidiaries and a variable interest entity for which Kyocera Corporation is a primarily beneficiary under the Financial Accounting Standard Board Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities. The consolidated variable interest entity for which Kyocera Corporation is the primary beneficiary does not have a material effect on Kyoceras financial position and result of operations. All significant intercompany
transactions and accounts are eliminated. Investments in 20% to 50% owned companies are accounted for by the equity method, whereby Kyocera includes in net income its equity in the earnings or losses of these companies.



Revenue Recognition:



Kyocera sells various types of products, including fine ceramic parts, semiconductor parts, and telecommunications equipment. Kyocera
recognizes revenue upon completion of the earnings process, which occurs when products are shipped or delivered to the customer in accordance with the terms of an agreement of sale, there is a fixed or determinable selling price, title and risk of
loss have been transferred, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Most of these conditions are satisfied at the time of delivery to customers in domestic sales (FOB destination) and at the time of shipment (FOB shipping) for export sales.



Sales returns



Kyocera records an estimated sales return allowance at the time of sales based on its
historical returns experience.



Products warranty



At the time of sale, Kyocera accrues a product warranty liability for claims under
warranties relating to the products that have been sold. Kyocera records an estimated product warranty liability based on its historical repair experience.



Revenue from financial services



In addition to the tangible products as discussed above, Kyocera also provides certain services, primarily financial services provided by Kyocera Leasing Co., Ltd. (KLC),
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kyocera Corporation. Revenue from direct financing leases is recognized over the term of the lease, and amortization of unearned lease income is recognized using the interest method. Interest income on installment loans
is recognized on an accrual basis. Interest income is no longer accrued at the time the collection of the interest is past due 1 year or more, or the collection of the principal is past due 6 months or more. The interest received from cash payments
on impaired loans is recorded as income, unless the collectibility of the remaining investments is doubtful, in which case the cash receipt is recorded as collection of the principal.



Cash and Cash Equivalents:



Cash and cash equivalents include time deposits and certificates of deposit with original maturities of three months or less.



Translation of Foreign Currencies:



Assets and liabilities of consolidated foreign subsidiaries and affiliates accounted for by
the equity method are translated into Japanese yen at the exchange rates in effect on the respective balance sheet dates. Operating accounts are translated at the average rates of exchange for the respective years. Translation adjustments result
from the process of translating foreign currency financial statements into Japanese yen. These translation adjustments, which are not included in the determination of net income, are reported in other comprehensive income.



Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at
the exchange rates in effect at the respective balance sheet dates, and resulting transaction gains or losses are included in the determination of net income.



Allowances for Doubtful Accounts:



Kyocera maintains allowances for doubtful accounts related to both trade and finance receivables for estimated losses resulting from customers inability to make
timely payments, including interest on finance receivables. Kyoceras estimates are based on various factors including the length of past due payments, historical experience and current business environments. In circumstances where it is aware
of specific customers inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific allowance against these amounts is provided considering the fair value of assets pledged by the customer as collateral.



Inventories:



Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the average method for approximately 52% and 57% of finished
goods and work in process at March 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively, and by the first-in, first-out method for all other inventories. Kyocera recognizes estimated write-down of inventories for excess, slow-moving and obsolete inventories.



Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation:



Property, Plant and Equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Kyocera
provides for depreciation of buildings, machinery and equipment over their estimated useful lives primarily on the declining balance method. The principal estimated useful lives used for computing depreciation are as follows:



|                        |  |              
|----------------------- |  | -------------
|Buildings               |  | 2 to 50 years
|Machinery and equipment |  | 2 to 20 years

The cost of maintenance, repairs and minor renewals is charged to expense in the year incurred; major
renewals and betterments are capitalized.



When assets are sold
or otherwise disposed of, the profits or losses thereon, computed on the basis of the difference between depreciated costs and proceeds, are credited or charged to income in the year of disposal, and costs and accumulated depreciation are removed
from the accounts.



Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets:



Kyocera has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This requires that, rather than being amortized, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment at least annually, and also following any events or changes in
circumstances that might lead to impairment. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable.



The principal estimated amortization for intangible assets are as follows:



|              |  |              |  | 
|------------- |  | ------------ |  | 
|Patent rights |  | 2 to 8 years |  | 
|Software      |  | 2 to 5 years |  | 



Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:



Pursuant to SFAS No.144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal
of Long-Lived Assets, Kyocera reviews its long-lived assets and intangible assets with definite useful lives for impairment periodically.



Long-lived assets and intangible assets with definite useful lives are considered to be impaired when the expected undiscounted cash flow from the asset
group is less than its carrying value. A loss on impairment is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets and intangible assets with definite useful lives.



Derivative Financial Instruments:



Kyocera utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure resulting from
fluctuations of foreign currencies and interest rates. These derivative financial instruments include foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps. Kyocera does not hold or issue such derivative financial instruments for trading
purposes.



Kyocera applies SFAS No. 133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. All derivatives are
recorded as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are charged in current earnings. However cash flow hedges which meet the criteria of SFAS No. 133 may qualify for
hedge accounting treatment. Changes in the fair value of the effective portion of these hedge derivatives are deferred in other comprehensive income and charged to earnings when the underlying transaction being hedged occurs.



Kyocera designates certain interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward
contracts as cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133. Most of Kyoceras foreign currency forward contracts are entered into as hedges of existing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities and as such do not qualify for hedge
accounting. Accordingly, Kyocera records changes in fair value of these foreign currency forward contracts currently in earnings. It is expected that such changes will be offset by corresponding gains or losses on the underlying assets and
liabilities.



Kyocera formally documents all relationships
between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes all derivatives designated as cash flow hedge are linked to specific assets and
liabilities on the balance sheet or forecasted transactions. Kyocera also formally assesses, both at the hedges inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting
cash flows of hedged items. When it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or that it has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, Kyocera discontinues hedge accounting prospectively. When hedge accounting is discontinued,
the derivative will continue to be carried on the balance sheet at its fair value, with deferred unrealized gains or losses charged immediately in current earnings.



Stock-Based Compensation:



As allowed by SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, Kyocera measures stock-based compensation expense using the
intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employee and its related interpretations. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized by Kyocera
Corporation and AVX Corporation. KWC recognized compensation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income under APB Opinion No. 25, because KWC has a variable stock option plan.





The
following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if Kyocera had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123. For purposes of this pro forma disclosure, the fair value of the options is estimated
using Black-Scholes option pricing model and amortized ratably to expense over the service period.

##### Table of Contents

Earnings and Cash Dividends per Share:



Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per
share assumes the dilution that could occur if all options were exercised and resulted in the issuance of common stock.



Cash dividends per share are those declared with respect to the earnings for the respective periods for which dividends were proposed by the Board of
Directors. Dividends are charged to retained earnings in the year in which they are paid.



Research and Development Expenses and Advertising Expenses:



Research and development expenses and advertising expenses are charged to operations as incurred.



Use of Estimates:



The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.



New Accounting Standards:



In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 151,
Inventory Costs an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. SFAS No. 151 requires that all abnormal idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and spoilage be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet
the criterion of so abnormal. In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No. 151 is effective
for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 will not have a material impact on Kyoceras consolidated results of operations and financial position.



In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) (SFAS
No. 123R), Share-Based Payments. This statement is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123R supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and its related interpretations. SFAS No. 123R requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. SFAS No. 123R establishes fair value as the measurement
objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements and requires all entities to apply a fair-value based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees except for equity instruments held by employee
share ownership plans. SFAS No. 123R was announced to be effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that would begin after June 15, 2005, however, on April 14, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff postponed
implementation of SFAS No. 123R. Kyocera will adopt SFAS No. 123R effective on April 1 2006, and estimates that the impact of SFAS No. 123R will be approximately ¥400 million ($3,419 thousand) on Kyoceras consolidated
results of operations for fiscal 2007.



In March 2005, the FASB
issued Interpretation (FIN) No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations-an interpretation of SFAS No. 143. This Interpretation clarifies use of the term conditional asset retirement obligation in SFAS
No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligation. FIN No. 47 requires recognition of a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liabilitys fair value can be
reasonably estimated. FIN No. 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ended after December 15, 2005. The adoption of FIN No.47 did not have a material impact on Kyoceras consolidated results of operations and financial
position.



In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154,
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections-a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and SFAS No. 3. SFAS No. 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim
Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an
accounting pronouncement when the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. APB Opinion No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period
of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods financial statements of changes in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 is effective for
accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The impact of SFAS No. 154 will depend on the changes, if any, that Kyocera may identify and record in a future period.



In November 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 115-1 and 124-1,
The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments (FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1). FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1 explains the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether that
impairment is other than temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. In addition, it also addresses accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about
unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairment. FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1 is effective in reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1 did not have a
material impact on Kyoceras consolidated results of operations and financial position.



Reclassifications:



Certain
reclassifications of previously reported amounts have been made to the consolidated statements of income, cash flows and corresponding footnote disclosures for the year ended March 31, 2004 and 2005 to conform to the current year presentation.
Such reclassifications have no effect on net assets, net income and cash flows.

2. U.S. DOLLAR AMOUNTS



The consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2006 presented herein are expressed in the Japanese yen,
and, solely for the convenience of the readers, have been translated into the U.S. dollar at the rate of ¥117 for US$1, the rate prevailing on March 31, 2006.



This translation should not be construed as a representation that the yen amounts shown could be so converted into the U.S.
dollar at ¥117 for US$1 or at any other rate.



3. INVESTMENTS IN DEBT
AND EQUITY SECURITIES



Available-for-sale securities are recorded at
fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from income and reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost. In gross unrealized gains and losses on equity securities,
¥55,056 million of gross unrealized gain at March 31, 2005 and ¥111,178 million ($950,239 thousand) of gross unrealized gain at March 31, 2006 were derived from a fluctuation in the market value of the shares of KDDI Corporation
held by Kyocera Corporation.



Kyocera evaluates whether the
declines in fair value of debt and equity securities with readily determinable fair values are other- than-temporary. Other-than-temporary declines in fair value are recorded as a realized loss with a new cost basis. This evaluation is based mainly
on the duration and the extent to which the fair value is less than cost, and the anticipated recoverability in fair value. Other-than-temporary loss on debt and equity securities with readily determinable fair values for the years ended
March 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006 amounted to ¥695 million, ¥1 million and ¥113 million ($966 thousand), respectively.



Due to the merger of Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group, Inc. and UFJ Holdings, Inc., on October 1, 2005, Kyoceras holding shares in UFJ
Holdings, Inc. were exchanged for shares of the new company, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. As a result of this share exchange, Kyocera recognized a gain in the amount of ¥5,281 million ($45,137 thousand) for the year ended March 31,
2006 in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 91-5, Nonmonetary Exchange of Cost-Method Investments.



Investments in debt and equity securities classified as availabe-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities at March 31, 2005 and 2006,
included in short-term investments (current assets) and in securities and other investments (non-current assets) are summarized as follows:

9. BENEFIT PLANS



Domestic:



a. Defined benefit plans



At
March 31, 2006, Kyocera Corporation and its major domestic subsidiaries sponsor funded defined benefit pension plans or unfunded retirement and severance plans for their employees.



Kyocera Corporation adopted a variable expected interest rate for benefits paid for pensioners, which is linked with the
long- term interest rate prevailing in Japan instead of a fixed expected interest rate, effective April 2004.



Benefits under the plan of Kyocera Corporation were previously calculated based on base salary, employees position, length of service period and
conditions at the time of retirement. However, after April 2005, benefits under the plan are calculated according to (i) accumulated points that are earned based on employees position, extent of contribution and length of
service period during employment, and (ii) conditions at the time of retirement. In addition, employees were provided an option to receive lifetime pension payments for the full amount of their retirement payment, while after April 2005,
employees are provided an option to receive lifetime pension payments for 50% of their retirement payment and 50% of pension payments for 20 years in maximum. These amendments reduced the projected benefit obligation of the pension plan for Kyocera
Corporation. This effect of the reduction in the projected benefit obligation has been reflected as a prior service cost not yet recognized.



Benefits under the plans at the domestic major subsidiaries generally are based on the current rate of the base salary, employees position, length
of service period and conditions at the time of retirement.



The following table sets forth the funded status of the benefit plans at Kyocera Corporation and its major domestic subsidiaries at March 31, 2005 and 2006:

Kyocera manages and operates its plan
assets with a target of obtaining better performance more than earnings from the expected rate of return on plan assets to ensure the sources of funds sufficient to cover the pension benefits paid to participants and beneficiaries into the future.
In terms of the plan assets management, Kyocera makes appropriate investment choices and optimal portfolios with a consideration of its performances, expected returns and risks, and entrusts its plan assets to the fund trustees which can be expected
to be the most appropriate to accomplish the target. Kyocera

|* | Transfer to the Japanese Government of the Substitutional Portion of Employee Pension Fund Liabilities and Withdrawal from Employee Pension Fund
|- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Kyocera Corporation, Kyocera Mita Corporation (KMC) and
Kyocera Chemical Corporation (KCC) had adopted Employee Pension Fund (EPF), which was established pursuant to the Japanese Welfare Pension Insurance Law (JWPIL) until the year ended March 31, 2004. In accordance with the JWPIL, a portion of the
governments social security pension program, under which the employer and employee contribute an equal amount, was contracted out to the employer (substitutional portion). Kyocera Corporation and KMC added it to its own non-contributory
pension plan (corporate portion).



As a result of enactment of
the Defined Benefit Corporate Pension Plan Law, Kyocera Corporation and KMC were approved by the Ministry of the Health, Labor and Welfare in Japan for an exemption from the obligation for benefits related to future employee service
under the substitutional portion of EPF in the year ended March 31, 2003, and also approved for the transfer to the government of the benefit obligation related to past employee service under the substitutional portion of EPF. Upon these
approvals, Kyocera Corporation and KMC transferred to the government the substitutional portion of EPF and the related government-specified portion of plan assets of EPF in the year ended March 31, 2004.



Kyocera Corporation and KMC adopted EITF Issue No. 03-02,
Accounting for the Transfer to the Japanese Government of the Substitutional Portion of Employee Pension Fund Liabilities for the settlement process of the substitutional portion of EPF. EITF Issue No. 03-02 requires employers to
account for the entire separation process of a substitutional portion from an entire plan (including a corporate portion) upon completion of the transfer to the government of a substitutional portion of EPF and related plan assets as the culmination
of a series of steps in a single settlement transaction. Under this approach, the difference between the accumulated benefit obligation and the assets required to be transferred to the government was accounted for and separately disclosed as a
subsidy. And a proportionate amount of net unrecognized gain or loss related to the entire EPF and difference between projected benefit obligations and accumulated benefit obligations for a substitutional portion of EPF were recognized as a
settlement gain or loss. Defined Benefit plans for employees at Kyocera Corporation and KMC were established instead of a corporate portion of EPF. Details of the accounting for the settlement for a substitutional portion of EPF at Kyocera
Corporation and KMC in accordance with EITF Issue No. 03-02 in the year ended March 31, 2004 were as follows:

b. Other plan



Kyocera Corporation and its major domestic subsidiaries also provide for lump- sum severance benefits with respect to directors and corporate auditors. To reserve future
payments of lump-sum severance benefits to directors and corporate auditors, annual provisions are made in the accounts for the estimated cost of this termination plan, which is not funded.



Foreign:



a. Pension plans



Kyocera International, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (KII) and AVX Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (AVX), which are both consolidated U.S.
subsidiaries of Kyocera Corporation, maintain non-contributory defined benefit pension plans in the United States and contributory defined benefit pension plans outside the United States. The KII plan covers substantially all full-time employees in
the United States, of which benefits are based on years of service and the employees average compensation. AVX sponsors various defined benefit pension plans covering certain employees. Pension benefits provided to certain U.S. employees
covered under collective bargaining agreements are based on a flat benefit formula. Effective December 31, 1995, AVX froze benefit accruals under its U.S. non-contributory defined benefit pension plan for a significant portion of the employees
covered under collective bargaining agreements. AVXs pension plans for certain European employees provide for benefits based on a percentage of final pay. AVXs funding policy is to contribute amounts sufficient to meet minimum funding
requirements as set forth in employee benefit and tax laws.



The following table sets forth the funded status of the KIIs and AVXs plans at March 31, 2005 and 2006:

KWC provides key employees with stock
options. The options become vested gradually over a four-year period provided participants remain a KWC employee. The exercise price shall not be less than 85% of the fair market value of the common stock at the time the option is granted, and the
grant has a maximum term of 10 years. Since KWC is not traded on any stock exchange, the Board of directors at KWC is responsible for determining the fair market value using reasonable means. KWC may grant options to all key employees for the
purchase of up to an aggregate of 3,800,000 shares of common stock.

11. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES



Kyoceras activities expose it to a variety of market risks, including the effects of
changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Approximately 60% of Kyoceras revenues are generated from overseas customers, which exposes it to foreign currency exchange rates fluctuations. These financial exposures are
monitored and managed by Kyocera as an integral part of its overall risk management program. Kyoceras risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the
volatility of these markets may have on its operating results.



Kyocera maintains a foreign currency risk management strategy that uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts, to minimize the volatility in its cash flows caused by changes in foreign currency
exchange rates. Movements in foreign currency exchange rates pose a risk to Kyoceras operations and competitive position, since exchange rates changes may affect the profitability, cash flows, and business and/or pricing strategies of non
Japan-based competitors. These movements affect cross-border transactions that involve, but not limited to, direct export sales made in foreign currencies and raw material purchases incurred in foreign currencies.



Kyocera maintains an interest rate risk management strategy that uses
derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps, to minimize significant, unanticipated cash flow fluctuations caused by interest rate volatility.



By using derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in exchange rates and interest rates, Kyocera exposes itself to credit risk.
Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contracts. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes Kyocera, which creates repayment risk for Kyocera. When the fair
value of a derivative contract is negative, Kyocera owes the counterparty and, therefore, it does not possess repayment risk. Kyocera minimizes the credit (or repayment) risk in derivative financial instruments by (1) entering into transactions with
creditworthy counterparties, (2) limiting the amount of exposure to each counterparty, and (3) monitoring the financial condition of its counterparties.



Cash Flow Hedges



Kyocera uses interest rate swaps mainly to convert a portion of its variable rate debt to fixed rates. Kyocera charged deferred net losses of ¥251 million and ¥78 million from accumulated other comprehensive
income to interest expense in the consolidated statement of income for the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2005, as a result of the execution of the hedged transactions.



Also, Kyocera uses certain foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to protect against foreign
currency exchange rate risks inherent in its forecasted transactions related to purchase commitments and sales. Kyocera charged deferred net gains of ¥30 million and deferred net losses of ¥27 million ($231 thousand) from accumulated other
comprehensive income to foreign currency transaction (losses) gains, net in the consolidated statement of income for the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2006, as a result of the execution of the hedged transactions.



Net unrealized losses on derivative financial instruments in accumulated
other comprehensive income at March 31, 2005 and 2006, were ¥27 million and ¥75 million ($641 thousand), respectively.



Other Derivatives



Kyoceras main direct foreign export sales and some import purchases are denominated in the customers and suppliers local currency, principally the U.S.
dollar, Euro and STG. Kyocera purchases foreign currency forward contracts with terms normally lasting less than three months to protect against the adverse effects that exchange-rate fluctuations may have on foreign-currency-denominated trade
receivables and payables. Kyocera does not adopt hedge accounting for such derivatives. The gains and losses on both the derivatives and the foreign-currency-denominated trade receivables and payables are recorded as foreign currency transaction
(losses) gains, net in the consolidated statements of income.



The aggregate contract amounts of derivative financial instruments to which hedge accounting is not applied are as follows:

12. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS



The fair values of financial instruments at March 31, 2005 and 2006 and the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value are
as follows:

Both short-term finance receivables
and long-term finance receivables in the above do not include investments in direct financing leases.



|(a) | The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(b) | The fair value is based on quoted market prices. It was not practicable to estimate the fair value of investments in unlisted common stock because of the lack of the
market price and difficulty in estimating fair value without incurring excessive cost, and Kyocera did not identify any events or changes in circumstances that may have had a significant adverse effect on these investments. The aggregated carrying
amounts of these investments included in the table at March 31, 2005 and 2006 were ¥2,584 million and ¥2,258 million ($19,299 thousand), respectively.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(c) | The fair value is estimated by discounting cash flows, using current interest rates for instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(d) | The fair value is estimated based on quotes from financial institutions.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES



At March 31, 2006, Kyocera had contractual obligations for the acquisition or construction of property, plant and equipment aggregating ¥13,236 million ($113,128
thousand) principally due within one year.



Kyocera is lessee
under long-term operating leases primarily for office space and equipment. Rental expenses for operating leases were ¥9,899 million, ¥10,680 million and ¥10,719 million ($91,615 thousand) for the years ended March 31, 2004, 2005 and
2006, respectively.

operating leases at March 31, 2006 are as follows:

##### Table of Contents

Kyocera has purchase agreements for a part of its anticipated amount of a certain material. Under the agreements, during
the year ended March 31, 2006, Kyocera purchased ¥827 million ($7,068 thousand) and is obligated to purchase ¥42,088 million ($359,726 thousand) in total by the end of December 2015.



Kyocera guarantees the debt of employees, customers and an unconsolidated
subsidiary. At March 31, 2006, each amount of these guarantees was ¥185 million ($1,581 thousand), ¥363 million ($3,103 thousand) and ¥550 million ($4,701 thousand). The financial guarantees are made in the form of commitments and
letters of awareness issued to financial institutions and generally obligate Kyocera to make payments in the event of default by the borrowers. Kyocera also guarantees the leasing debts of customers of the Information Equipment Group. At
March 31, 2006, the amount of such guarantee was ¥510 million ($4,359 thousand).



Kyocera is subject to various lawsuits and claims, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. Kyocera consults with legal counsel and assesses the likelihood of adverse outcome of these contingencies. Kyocera
records liabilities for these contingencies when the likelihood of an adverse outcome is probable and the amount is reasonably estimated. However, based on the information available, management believes that damages, if any, resulting from these
actions will not have a significant effect on Kyoceras consolidated results of operations and financial position.



14. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY



Under the Commercial Code of Japan (the Code), the entire amount of the issue price of new shares issued is required to be capitalized as stated capital,
although Kyocera Corporation may, by resolution of its Board of Directors, capitalize an amount not exceeding one-half of the issue price of the new shares as additional paid-in capital.



The Code requires a domestic company to appropriate as a legal reserve an amount equal to at least 10% of the amount paid
out by it as appropriation of retained earnings (including any payment by way of annual dividend and bonuses to Directors and Corporate Auditors) for the period or equal to 10% of any interim dividend until the sum of the legal reserve and the
additional paid-in capital equals 25% of its stated capital. The legal reserve and additional paid-in capital may be transferred to stated capital through suitable director actions or used to reduce a deficit through suitable stockholder actions.
The appropriated legal reserve at March 31, 2006 included in retained earnings was ¥18,724 million ($160,034 thousand).



The Code provides certain restrictions on payment of dividends in connection with the repurchased treasury stock. At March 31, 2006, Kyocera
Corporation reserved ¥29,143 million ($249,086 thousand) of treasury stock repurchased mainly for stock options, which are restricted as to the payment of cash dividends. The amount of statutory retained earnings of Kyocera Corporation available
for the payment of dividends to stockholders at March 31, 2006 was ¥599,041 million ($5,120,009 thousand).



Kyocera Corporations Board of Directors, with subsequent approval by the stockholders, has declared annual appropriations of retained earnings for
various purposes, totaling ¥557,137 million ($4,761,855 thousand) at March 31, 2006. Any disposition of such appropriations shall be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and stockholders. Such appropriations have not been segregated
from retained earnings in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.



Kyoceras equity in retained earnings or deficits of affiliates and unconsolidated subsidiaries accounted for by the equity method of accounting aggregating ¥ (15,996 million) ($(136,718 thousand)) at
March 31, 2006 was included in retaining earnings.

20. RECEIPT OF A NOTICE OF TAX
ASSESSMENT BASED ON TRANSFER PRICING ADJUSTMENTS AND FILING COMPLAINT AGAINST IT



On March 28, 2005, Kyocera Corporation received a notice of tax assessment based on transfer pricing adjustments from the Osaka Regional Tax Bureau stating that, in the Bureaus judgment, allocation of
profit earned from transfers of products between Kyocera Corporation and its overseas subsidiaries was not appropriate for the five years from the year ended March 31, 1999 through the year ended March 31, 2003. The notice indicated that
income should be adjusted upwards ¥24,394 million and that resultant additional tax, including local taxes, etc., amounted to ¥12,748 million. On May 24, 2005, Kyocera Corporation filed a complaint against tax assessment based on
transfer pricing adjustments with the Osaka Regional Tax Bureau. Although the final resolution of the proposed tax assessment is not certain, management believes the ultimate disposition of this matter will not have a material impact on the results
of operations.

On August 1, 2003, the estimated
fair value of the acquired net assets for Kinseki was ¥22,950 million, in excess of the purchase price of ¥15,159 million, which was calculated based on the average stock price of Kyocera Corporation during a few days before and after the
date on which Kyocera Corporation and Kinseki, Limited reached an agreement on the acquisition. The excess of net assets acquired over consideration of ¥7,791 million was charged against property, plant and equipment.

22. SETTLEMENT REGARDING LaPine CASE



On September 1, 1994, the International Chamber of Commerce issued its award with respect to the arbitration between Kyocera
Corporation and LaPine Technology Corporation (LTC), Prudential-Bache Trade Corporation (PBTC) (presently renamed Prudential- Bache Trade Services, Inc.), et al. for the alleged breach of an agreement by Kyocera Corporation in connection with the
reorganization of LTC. The award ordered Kyocera Corporation to pay to LTC and PBTC as damages, approximately $257,000 thousand, including interest, arbitration costs and attorneys fees. Kyocera Corporation filed a motion to vacate, modify and
correct the award in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California pursuant to an agreement between the parties providing for broad judicial examination of arbitration awards.



With respect to this case, Kyocera Corporation subsequently appealed to the
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and then to the Supreme Court of the United States asserting the validity of the provision for broad judicial examination of arbitration awards. On December 22, 2003, Kyocera Corporation reached agreement with
Prudential Securities Group, Inc., Prudential Equity Group, Inc., LaPine Technology Corporation and LaPine Holding Company to settle all claims in pending litigation between the parties. Kyocera Corporation has paid $331,500 thousand pursuant to
this settlement and recorded ¥35,454 million as cash payment in its consolidated financial statements in the year ended March 31, 2004.



23. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

June 26, 2006 to stockholders of record on March 31, 2006. The dividend declared was approved by the stockholders at the meeting held on June 23, 2006.
