3. Matters concerning accounting principles

A. Valuation standards and methods for major assets

  1. Securities Other securities

Securities other than stocks, etc., without fair market values:

At market value. (Appraisal differences are dealt with by means of the direct capital influx method, with cost of securities sold calculated by means of the moving average method.) Furthermore, among the other securities other than stocks, etc., without fair market values, for which the difference between the "acquisition cost" and the "debenture amount" is judged to be the result of interest rate adjustments, are calculated by amortized cost method.

Stocks, etc., without fair market values:

At cost, using the moving average method.

b. Derivatives

At market value.

c. Inventories

Merchandise: Primarily at cost, using the moving average method. (Figures stated on balance sheets are calculated by means of the write-down method based on a decline in profitability.)

Partly-finished work: At cost, using the specific identification method. (Figures stated on balance sheets are calculated by means of the write-down method based on a decline in

profitability.)

B. Depreciation method for major depreciable assets

a. Property and equipment:

Primarily the declining-balance method

(Excluding leased

However, buildings (excluding equipment and installations), and the equipment

assets)

and installations of buildings and structures acquired on or after April 1, 2016

are depreciated by the straight-line method.

The useful life of buildings and structures is 15 to 45 years; for other property

and equipment, it is 3 to 20 years.

b. Intangible assets:

Straight-line method

(Excluding leased

The estimated useful life of software for internal use is 3 to 5 years.

assets)

c. Leased assets:

Straight-line method using the lease period as the useful life and zero residual

value.

C. Accounting standards for major allowances

a. Allowance for doubtful accounts:

Provided at an amount sufficient to cover probable losses on collection. It consists of the estimated uncollectible amount with respect to certain identified doubtful receivables and an amount calculated using the rate of actual collection losses with respect to the remaining receivables.

b. Allowance for bonuses to employees:

Allowance for employees' bonuses is provided at an amount applicable to this consolidated fiscal year based on the estimated amount to be paid in the next year.

c. Allowance for bonuses to Directors and Audit & Supervisory Board members:

Allowance for Directors' bonuses is provided at an amount applicable to this consolidated fiscal year based on the estimated amount to be paid in the next year.

d. Allowance for stock compensation:

Allowance for stock compensation is an allowance established to provide shares of the Company to the Directors (excluding the External Directors) based on the Performance-Based Stock Compensation Plan for Directors. The allowance is calculated based on the estimated amount of payment of Sanshin Shares to be delivered to the Directors according to the points granted to each of them in accordance with the Sanshin Share delivery rules.

2

D. Accounting standards for revenue and expenses

The Group applies the Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition (ASBJ Statement No. 29; March 31, 2020), etc. We recognize revenue in the amount expected to be received in exchange for a good or service when a promised good or service is transferred to the customer.

The Group operates two businesses: the device business, which mainly sells semiconductors and electronic components in Japan and overseas, and the solution business, which mainly develops ICT solutions.

In the device business, we mainly identify the delivery to customers of products purchased from suppliers as obligation of performance. In principle, we judge the obligation of performance as satisfied when control of the products is transferred to the customer, and we recognize revenue at that time. For domestic sales, if the period from the time of shipment to the time of delivery is the normal period, we recognize revenue at the time of shipment. For export sales, we recognize revenue when the burden of risk is transferred to the customer based on trade conditions stipulated by Incoterms (international commercial terms), etc.

In the solution business, we mainly combine network equipment, security products, and Line-of-Business systems, etc., to provide the optimum ICT infrastructure for each customer. For these products, providing the functions required by the customer is recognized as the obligation of performance. In principle, we judge the obligation of performance as satisfied when the customer accepts the product, and we recognize revenue at that time. For construction work performed per a contract agreement, etc., and for made-to-order software, we judge obligation of performance to be satisfied over a certain period of time, and we recognize revenue based on the extent of progress in satisfying obligation of performance. For contracts that provide services such as maintenance services during the contract period, we judge obligation of performance to be satisfied over a certain period of time in conjunction with the passage of the period of time, and we recognize revenue uniformly during the contract period.

For the sale of merchandise and services, if the Group is trading as the principal party, we display revenue as the total amount of compensation. If the transaction is being conducted as an agent, we display revenue as the net amount after deducting the purchasing cost from the total amount of compensation. When determining the status as principal party or agent, we make a comprehensive judgment based on the following three indicators.

Does the Group possess the main responsibility for executing the promise of providing the specified merchandise or services?

Does the Group possess the inventory risk before transferring the specified merchandise or services to the customer, or after transferring control to the customer?

Does the Group have discretion in setting the price of the specified merchandise or services? Furthermore, in accordance with the separately specified terms of payment, compensation for transactions is received within approximately 6 months after obligation of performance has been satisfied, and does not include important financial elements.

E. Major foreign currency transactions

Receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Japanese yen at the consolidated-fiscal-year-end spot market exchange rates; any foreign exchange gains and losses from transactions are specified in the profit and loss statement. Assets and liabilities of overseas subsidiaries are translated into yen at the exchange rates in effect as of the fiscal year end, and revenues and expenses are translated into yen at the average exchange rates for the fiscal year. The resulting translation adjustments are included in the foreign currency translation adjustment in net assets.

F. Significant hedge accounting a. Hedge accounting methods:

Primarily the deferred hedge accounting method

Hedge accounting is adopted for foreign currency receivables and payables, etc. on exchange forward contracts.

b. Hedging instruments and hedged items:

Hedging instrument:

Foreign currency forward contracts

Hedged items:

Both payables and receivables, and forecasted transactions denominated in

foreign currencies

c. Hedge policy:

The Company uses foreign currency derivatives as a means of hedging exposure to foreign currency risk. Such transactions are all carried out with the finance department of the Company as the lead department, according to Company regulations. The Company does not enter into derivatives for trading

3

or speculative purposes not stated in its regulations. d. Hedge effectiveness assessment:

Hedge effectiveness is evaluated at least every six months by evaluating whether the cash flow changes in the hedged item and cash flow changes in the hedge instrument cancel each other out at a high level.

G. Accounting standards for net defined benefit liability and remeasurements of defined benefit plans

Net defined benefit liability and remeasurements of defined benefit plans are provided in the amount equal to the benefit obligations minus the pension assets based on the projected amount at the end of this consolidated fiscal year, in order to prepare for the allowance for employees' severance and retirement benefits. The retirement benefit obligations are calculated using a payment calculation standard which is a method of attributing projected retirement benefits for the service period up to the current consolidated fiscal year.

The prior service expenses are amortized by the straight-line method for a given number of years (10 years) within employees' average remaining years of service, at the time of occurrence. The actuarial gains and losses are amortized in the year subsequent to their occurrence, by the straight-line method or a given number of years (10 years) within employees'average remaining period of service.

Unrecognized actuarial gains and losses and unrecognized past service expenses are reflected in remeasurements of defined benefit plans in the accumulated other comprehensive income of net assets, after adjusting for tax effects.

(Valuation of Inventories)

Merchandise inventories

¥22,927 million

The Company holds a certain amount of merchandise inventories for the purpose of achieving stable supply of merchandise to customers and shortening lead time. As described in "3. Matters concerning accounting principles" in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Notes on the Basic Important Points for Preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements of This Term)," figures of merchandise inventories stated on the balance sheets are calculated using the write-down method based on the decline in profitability. Valuation of merchandise inventories is estimated using the ordering forecast based on the customer's production plan. If the customer's production plan is changed, canceled, etc., a valuation loss on merchandise will be recorded and there is the possibility of a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, the Company has established an Inventory Committee and strives to evaluate inventory appropriately.

(Financial Instruments)

1. Matters Concerning the State of Financial Instruments

  1. Policy Initiatives for Financial Instruments
    The Group manages funds with safe and secure financial instruments, and primarily performs fund procurement through bank loans. Derivatives are used to avoid the risk of exchange rate fluctuations, and we do not perform speculative trading.
  2. Financial Instruments, Risks Involved and Risk Management Systems

Notes receivable-trade, accounts receivable-trade and electronically recorded monetary claims, which are operating receivables, are exposed to customer credit risks. Operating receivables in foreign currency, which arise from our efforts to globally expand business, are also exposed to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. Regarding customer credit risk, in accordance with company regulations, we have established systems for performing term administration and balance management, as well as regularly evaluating major clients' credit statuses. As for exchange rate fluctuation risks, we use forward exchange contracts to offset any risks relating to business in foreign currency within the scope of actual demand required to conduct such business.

Investment securities are mainly debentures and shares in companies that we have business relations with, and although they are exposed to the risk of fluctuations in market values, these market values are periodically evaluated and reported to the Board of Directors.

Notes payable-trade, accounts payable-trade and electronically recorded obligations, which are business debts, all have a payment deadline of within one year. Although some of these are exposed to exchange rate fluctuation risks, as a result of being derived from imports from overseas and therefore being in foreign currency, we use forward exchange contracts to offset any risks relating mainly to the relevant business in foreign currency within the scope of actual demand required to conduct such business.

Loans are mainly funds procured for business transactions. Although floating-rate borrowings are exposed to interest rate fluctuation risks, the Group manages these by distributing repayment dates so that short term loans may be repaid flexibly when there is a financing surplus.

Regarding execution and management of derivatives transactions, the Group complies with company regulations specifying authority to perform transactions, and when using derivatives, in order to reduce credit

7

risk, we only deal with high-rating financial institutions.

Business debts and loans are also exposed to liquidity risks. However, the Group manages this through methods such as having each company produce monthly financing plans.

In preparation for unforeseen circumstances, we have entered into commitment line contracts with three correspondent financial institutions with the aim of securing a flexible and stable method of procuring funds.

C. Further Notes on Matters Concerning Market Values of Financial Instruments

Market values of financial instruments include values based on market prices, or, where no market price exists, reasonably calculated values. Because variable factors are incorporated in the calculation of these values, the values may change when different assumptions are used.

2. Items Concerning Market Values of Financial Instruments

*1: Descriptions are omitted for "Cash and deposits," "Notes and accounts receivable-trade," "Electronically recorded monetary claims," "Accrued income," "Consumption taxes receivable," "Notes and accounts payable-trade," and "Short-term loans payable" because these items consist of cash and items which are settled in a short period of time and therefore have market values that are close to the book value.

*2: Items appropriated as liabilities are listed in parentheses ( ).

*3: Net credits and debts arising from derivatives transactions are displayed as net values.

*4: Unlisted stocks (amount listed on consolidated balance sheet: ¥181 million) are not included in "(1) Investment securities" because they do not have market prices.

3. Items related to appropriate breakdown for each classification of market values for financial instruments The market values of financial instruments are classified into the following three levels according to the observability and importance of the inputs used to calculate the market values.

Level 1 market values: From among the inputs related to the calculation of the observable market values, the

market values calculated from the market prices of the asset or liability subject to the calculation of market values formed in the active market

Level 2 market values: From among the inputs related to the calculation of the observable market values, the market values calculated using the inputs related to the calculation of the market values, other than the inputs in Level 1

Level 3 market values: The market values calculated using inputs related to the calculation of unobservable market values

If multiple inputs that have a significant impact on the calculation of market values are used, from among the levels to which those inputs belong, the market values are classified as the level with the lowest priority level in the market values calculation.

Note: Explanation of valuation methods and inputs used to calculate market values Investment securities

Listed stocks and corporate bonds are valued using quoted market prices. The market values of listed stocks are classified as Level 1 market values because listed stocks are traded in active markets. On the other hand, the market values of corporate bonds held by the Company are classified as Level 2 market values because the frequency of transactions in the market is low and corporate bonds held by the Company are not recognized as having quoted market prices in active markets.

Derivative transactions

The market values of forward exchange contracts are calculated by the discounted cash flow method using observable inputs such as exchange rates, and are classified as Level 2 market values. Furthermore, forward exchange contracts and other transactions accounted for using deferral hedge accounting are processed together with the accounts receivable-trade and accounts payable-trade that are hedged, and their fair market value is included in the accounts receivable-trade and accounts payable-trade concerned.
