    The Group handles merchandise and products in four product categories, namely Cardiac Rhythm Management, EP/Ablation, Cardiovascular and Gastrointestinal (hereinafter, such merchandise and products are referred to as "products"), and main businesses of the Group are manufacture and sale of products. Sales forms in the four product categories are the following three forms, and consignment sales account for 90% or more of the total.

- 4 -

  1. Consignment sales
    The major sales method is consignment sales in which products are stored at agencies or hospitals and sold by the Company to hospitals via agencies at the time of surgery. Because the Company has judged that a customer obtains control of a product and performance obligations are satisfied at the time of using the product, revenue is recognized at the time of using the product.
  2. Sales of the products held by the Company
    As for sales of the products held by the Company, since a period from shipment to acceptance inspection by customers is short in sales to domestic customers, the Company recognizes revenue by receiving an order sheet from agencies and shipping products. When a period from shipment to the time when control of the product is transferred to a customer is a normal term, revenue is recognized at the time of shipment of the product as a transaction in which the customer obtains control of the product and performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time, which is the time of transfer of the product.
  3. Other sales
    Other sales are mainly for rental of medical devices, maintenance, repair, sales support, etc. Based on contracts, for performance obligations that are satisfied at a point in time, revenue is recognized at the time of provision. On the other hand, for performance obligations that are satisfied by providing services, etc. over a certain period of time stipulated in contracts, revenue is principally recognized according to the elapsed period.
    For consignment sales and sales of the products held by the Company, the Company has obligations to allow discounts, rebates, sales returns, etc. depending on terms and conditions of a contract. In this case, the transaction price is determined at the amount calculated by deducting the amount of the discounts, rebates, sales returns, etc. from consideration promised under contracts with customers.
    In any transaction, consideration is received within one year after performance obligations are satisfied, and does not contain any significant financial component.
  1. Accounting treatment of retirement benefits
  1. Method of attributing the estimated benefit obligation to periods
    When calculating the retirement benefit obligation, the estimated benefit obligation is attributed to the period up until the end of the fiscal year under review on a straight-line basis.
  2. Amortization method of actuarial calculation differences and past service costs
    Past service costs are amortized and treated as expenses using the straight-line method for a certain number of years (five years) during the average remaining service period for employees when they occur.
    Actuarial calculation differences are amortized using the straight-line method for a certain number of years (five years) during the average remaining service period for employees in each fiscal year when they occur, and the amounts allocated are treated as expenses from the fiscal year following the year in which they occur.
  3. Accounting method of unrecognized actuarial calculation differences and unrecognized past service liabilities
    Unrecognized actuarial calculation differences and unrecognized past service liabilities are reported as remeasurements of defined benefit plans under accumulated other comprehensive income in the net assets section after adjusting tax effects.
  1. Other important matters forming the basis for the preparation of consolidated financial statements
    (Standard for conversion of significant foreign currency-denominated assets into Japanese currency)
    Foreign currency-denominated monetary claims and obligations are converted to yen at the spot market exchange rate on the consolidated financial closing date and exchange differences are
    • 5 -

treated as gains or losses. Assets and liabilities of overseas consolidated subsidiaries are converted to yen at the spot market exchange rate on the consolidated financial closing date, while revenues and expenses are converted to yen at the average rate for the period, with the amounts of conversion differences recorded within foreign currency translation adjustment under net assets.

[Notes to Change in Accounting Policies]

(Changes in Accounting Policies that are difficult to distinguish from changes in accounting estimates) (Changes in depreciation method for property, plant, and equipment)

In the fiscal year under review, the Company adopted the straight-line method for calculating the depreciation of Property, plant, and equipment (excluding leased assets). Previously, the Company used the declining balance method (However, buildings (excluding Facilities attached to buildings) acquired after April 1, 1998, and buildings and structures acquired after April 1, 2016 are depreciated using the straight-line method), and the overseas consolidated subsidiary has mainly adopted the straight-line method.

With the termination of the intervention business, the Group's business structure and manufacturing system changed significantly, and the formulation of the new mid-term plan based on these changes led us to reconsider the depreciation method with consideration of the actual use of fixed assets. As a result, it was judged that changing to the straight-line method of calculating depreciation would more appropriately reflect the consumption pattern of the Property, plant, and equipment, as they are expected to operate stably over a long period of time, rapid technological obsolescence is not expected, and future investments are expected to have an average effect.

Therefore, operating profit increased by 175 million yen, ordinary profit and profit before income taxes each increased by 172 million yen, compared to the existing methods.

[Notes on Accounting Estimates]

The items in the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year under review for which an amount has been recorded due to accounting estimates and that could have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements for the following fiscal year are as follows.

1. Assessment of recoverability of investment securities and loans to product developers, business partners, etc.

(1) Amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year under review

Investment securities

1,480 million yen

Long-term loans receivable

2,652 million yen

Allowance for doubtful accounts

(1,274) million yen

The Group makes an overall determination of investment securities and loans to product developers and business partners, etc. and determines impairment losses and recoverability.

  1. Information about the contents of significant accounting estimates related to the identified items
  1. Method of calculating the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year under review
    For investment securities and loans to product developers, business partners, etc., the Company assesses the actual value of the investment securities and the recoverability of loans based on the financial information, business plans, etc. received regularly from the investee. For investment securities of product developers, business partners, etc., the Company may obtain a share valuation report from a third-party valuation institution and reflect excess earning power, etc. in the assessment of actual value. If there is objective evidence of impairment due to a marked decrease in real value caused by a deterioration in the financial condition of the investee based on financial information, business plan, etc. received regularly from the investee, the carrying value of the investment securities is written down to the actual value and loss on valuation of
    • 6 -

investment securities is recognized. If there is a reasonable expectation for an improvement in the financial position of an investee after a certain period based on its submitted business plan, and if there is no significant delay in the business plan or significant shortfall in earnings, then the Company may not subject the investee to impairment. With regard to loans to product developers and business partners, etc., depending on the financial position and operating performance of the debtor, after classifying the receivable, the Company calculates the expected loan loss and if the recoverability is deemed to be low, an amount calculated by subtracting the recoverable amount from the carrying amount is recorded as allowance for doubtful accounts.

  1. Key assumptions used for calculating the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year under review
    The estimate for the actual value of investment securities is based mainly on business partners' estimated sales volumes, estimated selling prices and business plans created based on market growth rates. For the investment securities on which a loss on valuation of investment securities was recorded in the fiscal year under review, because the investee has made significant changes to their business plans, the amount recorded is based on net assets per share.
    In addition, the estimate for the recoverability of loans is based mainly on business partners' status of clinical trials and business plans created based on obtaining approval from regulatory authorities for manufacture and sale.
  2. Impact on the consolidated financial statements for the following fiscal year
    The business plan may need to be revised with regard to these key assumptions in light of changes in the business strategy or market environment, delay in clinical trials, and cases where approval from regulatory authorities cannot be obtained, etc. Accordingly, the Company may record a loss on valuation of investment securities and a provision of allowance for doubtful accounts.

2. Recoverability of deferred tax assets

  1. Amount recorded in the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year under review

Net deferred tax assets

2,733 million yen

  1. Information about the contents of significant accounting estimates related to the identified item
  1. Method of calculating the amount recorded in the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year under review
    The Group determines the recoverability of deferred tax assets based on taxable income, which is based on future earning power according to deductible temporary differences, and tax planning.
  2. Key assumptions used for calculating the amount recorded in the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year under review
    Estimates for taxable income are based on the medium-term management plan and budgets, which mainly take into account the market environment, National Health Insurance (NHI) reimbursement prices, etc.
  3. Impact on the consolidated financial statements for the following fiscal year
    Because the recoverability of deferred tax assets depends on estimated taxable income based on the medium-term management plan and budgets, the key assumptions are highly uncertain. If changes occur in the assumed conditions or other assumptions, the estimated amount of taxable income may vary and there could be a material impact on the judgment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company may reverse deferred tax assets.

[Additional information]

(Transactions involving the BIP trust share-based compensation)

In the fiscal year under review, the Company introduced the BIP trust. As with the performance-linked (Performance Share) and restricted-stockshare-based compensation systems used in the United States and Europe, monetary payments are made to directors under the BIP trust system reflecting their degree of achievement in meeting performance targets and ranks, the grants and payments being made in the form of Company shares and monetary compensation based on the share exchange price at disposal. The Company has established the trust after allocating funds for acquisition of Company shares for such compensation, the beneficiaries being those among the directors who meet certain requirements. The trust has acquired from the Company the total of Company shares (through disposal of treasury stock) it anticipates needing for compensation of directors, based on previously drawn-upshare-grant regulations. Subsequently, and based on the share-grant regulations, the Company awards points to the directors reflecting their degree of target achievement and rank for each fiscal year on a consolidated basis. After their retirement or after the end of the evaluation fiscal year, a number of shares (with fractional units rounded down) equivalent to 70% of their accumulated points is granted by the trust, and the remainder of the Company shares are translated into monetary sums by conversion under the trust and this sum is paid out. Related accounting treatment is based on "Practical treatment of transactions relating to granting of own shares to employees, etc. through a trust" (Practical Issues Task Force No. 30, March 26, 2015). The Company shares owned by the trust at the end of the fiscal year, consolidated basis, are reported in the net assets section of the consolidated balance sheet as treasury stock, at their book value under the trust (excluding sums for incidental expenses). The reported amount is 301 million yen and the reported number of shares is 169,612.

[Notes on Financial Instruments]

1. Status of Financial Instruments

  1. Policy on financial instruments
    The Group procures necessary funding based on its capital investment plan, research and development plan, etc. The Group's policy is to conduct asset management with high-security financial instruments, and to raise funds for short-term by borrowing from banks. The Group uses derivatives to avoid the risk of fluctuations in exchange and interest rates, and does not engage in speculative trading.
  2. Details of financial instruments, related risks, and risk management system
    Notes and accounts receivable - trade, which are operating receivables, are exposed to customer credit risk. Regarding these risks, in accordance with the Credit Management Regulations of the Group, the Company has created a system for managing payment dates and the amounts outstanding for each customer, in addition to periodically identifying the credit status of its main customers.
    Shares and other investment securities are exposed to the risk of fluctuations in market price and the risk of worsening business conditions at investees leading to the recording of impairment
    • 9 -

losses. The Company has established an Investment and Credit Committee that monitors at regular intervals such factors as the market value, business conditions, and financial position, and deliberates on evaluation and continuation of investments and loans, etc. Based on the results of these deliberations, and the status of dealings, etc. with the companies whose shares are held, the Board of Directors verifies the reasonableness of such holdings every year by confirming the advantages conferred by the holdings in terms of the medium- to long-term business strategy of the Company. Shares for which the rationale for holding is deemed to be weak are sold as appropriate, and the size of the position is reduced.

Long-term loans receivable represents loans to overseas medical device manufacturers that are suppliers or preparing for the introduction of products, and also includes in-house loans for employee benefits. These loans are exposed to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and recording of an allowance for doubtful accounts accompanying worsening business conditions of the debtors. The Company uses currency swaps, etc. to hedge against foreign exchange risk as necessary, and regarding the risk leading to the recording of an allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company closely monitors the business situation of business partners and works to reduce that risk.

Notes and accounts payable - trade, which are operating payables, and accounts payable - other are all due for payment within one year.

Among borrowings, short-term borrowings are mainly raising funds for working capital, and long- term borrowings are mainly raising funds for capital investment, etc. Furthermore, certain long- term borrowings use a variable interest rate, but the Company hedges the risk of fluctuations in interest rates for these borrowings using interest rate swaps as needed.

Long-term account payable - other is the closing payment of directors' retirement benefits due to the abolishment of directors' retirement benefits.

In addition, operating payables and borrowings are exposed to liquidity risk, but the Group manages this liquidity risk by creating and updating funding plans for each company as needed, as well as through the maintenance of liquidity and other methods.

  1. Supplementary explanation regarding fair value, etc., of financial instruments
    As the calculation of fair value of financial instruments includes variable factors, these values may fluctuate if different assumptions are used, etc.

2. Fair value, etc., of financial instruments

The amounts posted on the consolidated balance sheet, the fair values, and the differences thereof as of the end of the fiscal year under review (March 31, 2024) are as follows.

Information on "cash and deposits," "notes and accounts receivable - trade," "notes and accounts payable -trade,""short-term borrowings," and "accounts payable - other" is omitted, since these accounts are settled or repaid in cash and in a short period of time, and therefore, their fair value approximates the book value. Shares with no market price and shares that are not material are not included in (See Note. 1).
