Reference Documents for General Meeting of Shareholders

Agenda and References are as follows:

Agendum No. 1: Disposition of Surplus

The Company believes that the best way to meet shareholders’ expectations is to improve the consolidated performance of the Company on an ongoing basis.

The Company has adopted the principle that dividend amounts should be within a range of net income of the Company on a consolidated basis, and has set its consolidated dividend policy to maintain a consolidated dividend ratio at a level of approximately 20% to 25% of consolidated net income. In addition, the Company determines dividend amounts based on an overall assessment, taking into account various factors including the amount of capital expenditures necessary for the medium to long-term growth of the Company.

Pursuant to this policy and based on full year performance through the year ended March 31, 2009 (hereinafter referred to as “this fiscal year”), the Company proposes a year-end dividend for this fiscal year in the amount of 60 yen per share, the same amount as in the year ended March 31, 2008 (hereinafter referred to as the “previous fiscal year”). When aggregated with the interim dividend in the amount of 60 yen per share, the total annual dividend will be 120 yen per share, the same amount as in the previous fiscal year.

The Company also proposes to effectuate a reverse of its reserve for research and development, reserve for dividends, reserve for retirement benefits, reserve for overseas investments, and general reserve, taking into account the Company’s financial status, performance through this fiscal year, and business conditions going forward.

The proposed disposition of surplus is as follows:


1.	Mattersrelating to Year-end Dividend

	(1)	Type of assets distributed as dividend:
		Cash

	(2)	Matters relating to allocation to shareholders of assets distributed as dividend and aggregate amount thereof:
		60 yen per share of Common Stock of the Company.
		The aggregate amount thereof shall be 11,011,682,040 yen.

	(3)	Effective Date of distribution of surplus as dividend:
		June 26, 2009

2.	Matters relating to disposition of Other Retained Earnings

	(1)	Item to be increased and amount thereof:

		Profit surplus carried over:	8,000,000,000 yen.

	(2)	Items to be reduced and amounts thereof:

		Reserve for research and development:	1,000,000,000 yen.

		Reserve for dividends:	1,000,000,000 yen.

		Reserve for retirement benefits:	300,000,000 yen.

		Reserve for overseas investments:	1,000,000,000 yen.

		General reserve:	4,700,000,000 yen.

Agendum No. 2: Partial Amendments to the Articles of Incorporation

1.	Reason for Amendments

The Law for Partial Amendments to the Law concerning Book-entry Transfer of Corporate Bonds and Other Securities for the Purpose of Streamlining the Settlement for Trades of Stocks and Other Securities (Law No. 88, 2004) (hereinafter referred to as the “Settlement Streaming Law”) has become effective as from January 5, 2009, and the share transfer system for all shares of listed companies in Japan has been converted to a book-entry share transfer system (a so called “paperless share system”).

The Company is amending its Articles of Incorporation, concomitantly with such change in the system, as follows:

(1)

The amendments include deletion of provisions relating to share certificates, beneficial owners of shares and the register of beneficial owners, because these are no longer necessary under the paperless share system. In this connection, it should be noted, however, that Article 7 (Issuance of Share Certificates) has been deemed already abandoned on the effective date of the Settlement Streaming Law pursuant to Paragraph 1 of Article 6 of the Supplemental Provisions to the Settlement Streaming Law.

(2)

A Register of Lost Share Certificates is required to be prepared and maintained by the Company for a period of one year commencing immediately following the effective date of the Settlement Streaming Law, and necessary provisions are to be newly created in the supplemental provisions to the Articles of Incorporation in this connection.

(3)

In addition to the above, certain necessary amendments are to be made to adjust paragraph numbering and to alter wording.

The contemplated amendments are as follows:

2.	The number of shares of the Company owned by the candidate set forth above includes his ownership in the Stock Purchase Plan for Kyocera Group Executives.

3.	Matters with respect to outside Corporate Auditors are as follows:

(1)

Mr. Yoshinari Hara is a candidate for outside Corporate Auditor.

(2)

Reason for nomination of Mr. Yoshinari Hara as a candidate for outside Corporate Auditor:

The reason for nomination of Mr. Yoshinari Hara as a candidate for outside Corporate Auditor is that he is capable of conducting a general audit of corporate activities as a whole as an outside Corporate Auditor based on his abundant experience and knowledge of the management of a securities firm.

(3)

Mr. Yoshinari Hara currently holds the office of an outside Director of NEC Corporation. NEC Corporation is required as an issuer of ADRs to file annual reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (hereinafter referred to as the “SEC”) pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. However, it has been unable to file with the SEC its annual reports for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006 and thereafter because it has not been able to complete further analysis to support its revenue recognition required in the course of the audit of its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March, 31 2006. Because of this, the ADRs of NEC Corporation were delisted by NASDAQ in October 2007. Mr. Yoshinari Hara has regularly expressed his opinions at meetings of the Board of Directors of NEC Corporation regarding ensuring proper financial reporting, strengthening NEC Corporation’s compliance system including disclosure and its risk management system, etc.; and upon receipt of reports of the abovementioned events, deliberated future preventive measures and disclosure policies, etc., and made varied proposals and remarks to strengthen further the internal control system of NEC Corporation.

(4)

The Company will enter into an agreement with Mr. Yoshinari Hara regarding limitation of his liability for damages due to negligence in the performance of his duties, in accordance with paragraph 1 of Article 427 of the Corporation Act and Article 36 (Article 35, if Agendum No. 2 is approved as proposed) of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company. The maximum amount of damages to be pursued against him, as set under such agreement, will be limited to the smallest amount permissible under applicable laws and regulations.

Agendum No. 5: Bonuses to Directors

The Company proposes to pay bonuses to the twelve (12) Directors in office as of March 31, 2009 in an aggregate amount of 23.7 million yen taking into consideration the performance of the Company during this fiscal year.

Agendum No. 6: Revision of Amount of Remuneration of Directors and Corporate Auditors in line with Reform of the Remuneration System for Directors and Corporate Auditors

It was resolved at the 51st Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company, held on June 28, 2005, that the aggregate remuneration payable to the Directors shall amount to not more than 30 million yen per month. It was also resolved at the 37th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company held on June 27, 1991, that the aggregate remuneration payable to the Corporate Auditors shall amount to not more than 8 million yen per month.

The Company proposes that the remuneration system for Directors and Corporate Auditors be reformed; so that from among the three categories of remuneration to Directors and Corporate Auditors, namely, monthly remuneration, bonuses and retirement allowances, retirement allowances be abolished; and that thereafter, remuneration to Directors shall consist of “basic remuneration” and “bonuses to Directors” only. In line with such reform the aggregate remuneration payable to Directors and Corporate Auditors shall be revised as set forth below.

Currently, the number of Directors in office is twelve (12) and the number of Corporate Auditors in office is five (5), and if Agenda 3 and 4 relating to the election of Directors and Corporate Auditors, respectively, are approved as originally proposed by the Company, there will be no change in such numbers.

Directors

(1)

Basic remuneration

Basic remuneration constitutes of remuneration to be paid in compensation for the exercise of responsibility by each Director, and the aggregate remuneration payable to all Directors shall be no more than 400 million yen per year, taking into consideration the currently existing maximum imposed upon the aggregate amount of retirement allowances payable to Directors. As has been the Company’s past practice, such amount does not include the amount of any salaries for service as employees to be paid to Directors who are also serving as employees of the Company.

(2)

Bonuses to Directors

Traditionally, bonuses to Directors have constituted remuneration linked with the performance of the Company for each fiscal year. However, to clarify the criteria therefor, in line with the reform of the remuneration system for Directors and Corporate Auditors, it is proposed that the aggregate amount payable to all Directors shall not exceed 0.2% of the consolidated net income of the Company for the relevant fiscal year, provided that such amount shall in no case exceed 300 million yen annually, and such aggregate amount shall be distributed among the Directors in accordance with their respective levels of contribution to the performance of the Company.

2.	Corporate Auditors

In order to maintain the impartiality of audit, payment of bonuses to Corporate Auditors shall cease and only basic remuneration, which is not linked with the performance of the Company, shall be paid. The aggregate amount payable to all Corporate Auditors shall be no more than 100 million yen annually.

Agendum No. 7: Payment of Retirement Allowances to Retiring Director and Payment of Settlement Funds to Directors and Corporate Auditor as a Result of Abolishment of the Retirement Allowance System

Kyocera Management Philosophy

Corporate Motto

LOGO

“Respect the Divine and Love People”

Preserve the spirit to work fairly and honorably,

respecting people, our work, our company and our global community.

Management Rationale

To provide opportunities for the material and intellectual growth of all our

employees, and through our joint effort, contribute to the advancement of

society and humankind.

Management Philosophy

To coexist harmoniously with nature and society.

Harmonious coexistence is the underlying foundation of all our business

activities as we work to create a world of abundance and peace.

Kyocera was built upon a unique foundation: the human spirit

When I founded Kyocera, I didn’t have sufficient funding, let alone decent facilities or equipment. However, I was fortunate enough to have associates with whom I felt a spiritual bond. We shared every joy and pain, just like a family. I therefore decided to run this company with faith in the human spirit. The human spirit is said to be easily changed. Yet, when a deep sense of trust exists, I have found that there is nothing stronger or more reliable than our spiritual ties. Today, this faith in the human spirit forms the very heart of Kyocera.

Kazuo Inamori

Chairman Emeritus

Greetings

We are pleased to present to you our Report for the year ended March 31, 2009 (“fiscal 2009”).

The business environment was extremely tough in the fiscal period as the financial crisis sparked in the United States dragged the world economy into a major downturn while the yen continued to appreciate against major currencies. As a result, sales and profits fell below levels recorded in the previous fiscal year.

Amid this operating environment, Kyocera Group initiated a new management structure in April this year. Also amid this environment, we will return to our origins and strengthen the practice of our corporate philosophy, known as the “Kyocera Philosophy” and our management system, known as the “Amoeba Management System,” which have been driving forces behind the development of Kyocera Group since our earliest days. All employees will pool their collective capabilities to overcome the challenges facing us in these tough times, with our aim being swift improvement in business performance. Additionally, we will vigorously develop businesses for information and communication markets and for environment and energy markets, which are core markets with significant future growth potential for Kyocera Group, as we push forward confidently with efforts to be “a creative company that continues to grow.”

Kyocera Corporation celebrated 50 years in business in April this year. Established in April 1959, we started out as a components’ manufacturer specializing in fine ceramics. Since then, we have been dedicated to developing our business to provide assistance to our customers through ongoing enhancements in products and services in the hope of making a valuable contribution to society. At this key milestone in our history, we would like to express our sincerest gratitude to all shareholders for your unyielding support over the years.

We would very much appreciate your continued support of Kyocera Group in the coming years as well, as we forge ahead towards our goals.

Business Report (From April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009)

1. Current Conditions of Kyocera Corporation and its Consolidated Subsidiaries

(1) Business Progress and Results

In the year ended March 31, 2009 (hereinafter, “fiscal 2009” refers to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 and other fiscal years are referred to in a corresponding manner), the impact of the financial crisis triggered in the United States affected the real economy, resulting in rapid deceleration in the global economy commencing the second half of fiscal 2009. In the Japanese economy, exports decreased significantly due to the slowdown in overseas economies and appreciation of the yen against the U.S. dollar and Euro, while there was a significant decline in corporate production activity. As a result, the recession in the Japanese economy has become evident rapidly.

Due to the impact of the slumping global consumer spending, the digital consumer equipment market, which is a principal market for Kyocera Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Kyocera Group” or “Kyocera”), posted sluggish growth in sales of mobile phone handsets, personal computers (“PCs”), flat panel TV sets and digital cameras. In addition, the business environment has changed dramatically commencing the second half of fiscal 2009 due to the sharp decline in corporate information technology investment. As a result, sales for both components business and equipment business decreased compared with fiscal 2008. The solar energy market expanded worldwide, due in part to subsidies from national governments despite harsh environment.

Consolidated Financial Results:

Consolidated net sales for fiscal 2009 amounted to ¥1,128,586 million, a decrease of 12.5% compared with fiscal 2008, due primarily to the impact of a decrease in demand affected by deteriorating business environment and to appreciation of the yen.

Amid such a harsh business environment, Kyocera Group continued to pursue synergies by effectively utilizing management resources and to aggressively release new products, while also promoting comprehensive Group-wide cost reductions. Nonetheless, profit from operations for fiscal 2009 decreased by 71.5% compared with fiscal 2008 to ¥43,419 million due mainly to a decrease in demand and product selling price erosion. Income before income taxes decreased by 68.0% to ¥55,982 million due to the decrease in profit from operations. Net income decreased by 72.5% to ¥29,506 million.

Average exchange rates for fiscal 2009 were ¥101 to the U.S dollar and ¥143 to the Euro, marking appreciation of ¥13 and ¥19, respectively, compared with fiscal 2008. As a result, net sales and income before income taxes after translation into the yen for fiscal 2009 were, for calculation purposes, pushed down by approximately ¥91.0 billion and ¥23.0 billion, respectively.

Highlights of Consolidated Results

Notes:

In fiscal 2007, Kyocera Corporation sold its shares of Kyocera Leasing Co., Ltd., a subsidiary engaged in financing services. As a result, business results and profit on sale of its shares of Kyocera Leasing Co., Ltd. for fiscal 2007 were recorded as income (or loss) from discontinued operations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States As a result, figures for fiscal 2006 have been retrospectively reclassified.

2.	In fiscal 2006 and 2007, income from continuing operations before income taxes and minority interests are presented in the income before income taxes section.

3.	The amounts, numbers of shares and ratios (%) in this Report are rounded to the nearest unit.

4.	Graphs in this Report are presented solely for the reference.

Consolidated Results by Reporting Segment

Components Business:


Net sales:		¥577,055 million, down 15.1% year on year
Operating profit:		¥31,830 million, down 68.3% year on year

(1) Fine Ceramic Parts Group


Net sales:		¥61,730 million, down 24.1% year on year
Operating profit:		-¥240 million, down ¥11,407 million year on year

As a result of a substantial slump in component demand led by sharp decline in production activity in numerous industries, namely the semiconductor and automotive industries, overall sales and operating profit in this reporting segment decreased compared with fiscal 2008.

(2) Semiconductor Parts Group


Net sales:		¥135,137 million, down 12.6% year on year
Operating profit:		¥8,671 million, down 56.7% year on year

As a result of rapid deterioration in demand for ceramic packages used mainly in digital consumer equipment and organic packages used mainly in servers from the latter half of the second quarter of fiscal 2009, sales and operating profit in this reporting segment both decreased compared with fiscal 2008.

(3) Applied Ceramic Products Group


Net sales:		¥148,917 million, down 0.7% year on year
Operating profit:		¥27,469 million, down 15.9% year on year

Demand continued to show strong expansion until the third quarter, particularly in Europe and the United States, resulting in sales growth in the solar energy business compared with fiscal 2008. However, a significant decline in production activity in the automotive industry from the second half led to a decrease in demand for cutting tools. As a result, sales in this reporting segment decreased slightly compared with fiscal 2008. Operating profit was down due to one-off charge relating to an impairment of goodwill at a subsidiary as well as decreased sales for cutting tools.

(4) Electronic Device Group


Net sales:		¥231,271 million, down 21.4% year on year
Operating profit:		-¥4,070 million, down ¥40,594 million year on year

Demand for digital consumer equipment declined due to the global economic downturn, forcing a rapid decline in production of digital consumer equipment and inventory adjustments for components thereof from the second half. Further, the impact of a decline in component prices and yen appreciation coupled with an impairment loss of certain fixed assets led to decreases in sales and operating profit in this reporting segment compared with fiscal 2008.

Equipment Business:


Net sales:		¥448,055 million, down 10.0% year on year
Operating profit:		-¥4,216 million, down ¥50,540 million year on year

(1) Telecommunications Equipment Group


Net sales:		¥218,758 million, down 0.9% year on year
Operating profit:		-¥17,713 million, down ¥24,499 million year on year

Although the mobile phone handset related business newly acquired from SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. (“SANYO”) contributed to sales from fiscal 2009, replacement demand for mobile phone handsets in the Japanese market weakened sharply while sales in overseas markets also decreased. As a result, sales in this reporting segment decreased only slightly compared with fiscal 2008. This reporting segment recorded an operating loss in fiscal 2009 due to the impact of a decrease in sales combined with decline in product price and the execution of structural reform at an overseas subsidiary.

(2) Information Equipment Group


Net sales:		¥229,297 million, down 17.1% year on year
Operating profit:		¥13,497 million, down 65.9% year on year

Despite implementing various strategies to expand sales, such as continuous new product launches and extending sales networks, the impact of the yen’s appreciation against the Euro and U.S. dollar coupled with significant restrictions on information technology investment in the corporate sector resulted in a decrease in sales of printers and digital MFPs. As a result, both sales and operating profit in this reporting segment decreased compared with fiscal 2008.

Others:


Net sales:		¥126,043 million, down 9.0% year on year
Operating profit:		¥14,106 million, up 46.4% year on year

Sales in this reporting segment for fiscal 2009 decreased by 9.0% compared with fiscal 2008 to ¥126,043 million due primarily to a decrease in sales of materials for electronic components. Despite an impairment of goodwill at a subsidiary, operating profit increased by 46.4% compared with fiscal 2008 to ¥14,106 million due to one-time gains from sales of real estate.

Principal Management Measures and Significant Decision implemented during fiscal 2009:

With the objective of further enhancing the Telecommunications Equipment Group, Kyocera completed acquisition of the mobile handset business of SANYO on April 1, 2008. Kyocera aims to improve profitability by pursuing synergies with the acquired business as well as by strengthening R&D, cost competitiveness and sales and marketing.

Kyocera Mita Corporation, a consolidated subsidiary of Kyocera Corporation, acquired shares of TA Triumph-Adler AG (“TAAG”), a distributor of information equipment in Germany, through the voluntary takeover offer, and made it a consolidated subsidiary of Kyocera Mita Corporation in January 2009. It aims to further expand businesses by improving sales and marketing division and fulfilling a customer basis through utilization of business foundation in both companies.

3.	Kyocera Corporation acquired treasury stock in the amount of approximately 6.26 million shares by December 2008 in order to prepare for the expeditious execution of capital strategies, such as a stock swap, in the future.

(2) Capital Expenditures

During fiscal 2009, Kyocera made capital expenditures to increase production volume in the solar energy business. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, Kyocera substantially slowed down capital expenditures in other business in reaction to deteriorating business environment. As a result, capital expenditures for fiscal 2009 totaled ¥63,055 million, a decrease by ¥22,046 million (25.9%) compared with fiscal 2008.

Required funds for fiscal 2009 were mainly financed from internal funds.

(3) Management Challenges

In order for Kyocera Group as a whole to overcome the current difficult circumstances and improve its performance, Kyocera has substantially changed its management structure by promoting young members of the management team as officers and directors of the Company and the group companies. Kyocera faces the following challenges in fiscal 2010 and beyond.

(i)	Establish Highly Profitable Corporate Structure

In fiscal 2010, it is expected that harsh business environment will continue, where expansion of sales is difficult. However, Kyocera will endeavor to enhance its corporate structure and to secure profitability even in the face of the current sluggish business environment. Particularly, Kyocera will manage its business by thoroughly implementing the “Kyocera Philosophy,” our corporate philosophy and the “Amoeba Management System,” our unique management system that is operated by small unit to achieve “maximum sales and minimum costs” by all employees’ effort. In order to improve profitability as quickly as possible, all divisions will engage in all-out cost cutting, including the reduction of manufacturing costs and review of capital expenditures plans.

In addition, Kyocera will improve the profitability of existing businesses and develop competitive new products and technologies to establish a highly profitable structure by efficiently utilizing Kyocera’s management resources to pursue synergetic effects.

(ii) Business Expansion in Important Markets

Kyocera will expand its businesses in the information and communication market and the environment and energy market. In the information and communication market, it is ensuring the linkage of new business opportunities with its business expansion, such as commencement of provision of new generation high speed wireless communication service in the domestic market. It also aims to expand its component business and equipment business by releasing products meeting the need for advanced digital consumer equipment in a timely fashion.

In the environment and energy market, further growth is expected due to raising awareness of environmental issues. Kyocera will continue to implement strategic investments to expand production capacity for solar cells and modules. It will also make efforts to reduce manufacturing costs and to improve conversion efficiency and expand solar energy business as a core business of Kyocera Group. In addition, it will make further efforts to expand its business in the environment and energy market by creating new products and expanding product items such as solid oxide fuel cell (“SOFC”) based power generating units for home use, utilizing its fine ceramic materials technologies.

Notes:

1.	The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

2.	Basic earnings per share is calculated using the average number of shares in issue during each respective fiscal period and net assets per share is calculated using the number of shares in issue at the end of each respective fiscal period.

In fiscal 2007, Kyocera Corporation sold its shares of Kyocera Leasing Co., Ltd., a subsidiary engaged in financing services. As a result, business results and profit on sale of its shares of Kyocera Leasing Co., Ltd. for fiscal 2007 were recorded as income or loss from discontinued operations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Figures for 2006 have been retrospectively reclassified pursuant to the same standard.

4.	In fiscal 2006 and 2007, income from continuing operations before income taxes and minority interests are presented in income before income taxes section.

In fiscal 2006, consolidated net sales remained at the same level as fiscal 2005 due to the decline in sales prices of components and the downsizing of camera business despite the steady increase in sales of the Applied Ceramic Products Group such as solar energy business. Consolidated net income increased as structural reforms came to fruition.

In fiscal 2007, amid a favorable market environment manifesting strong demand for digital consumer equipment, net sales in the Components Business and the Equipment Business increased compared with fiscal 2006. Also all reporting segments in the Components Business and the Equipment Business recorded increases in profits. Consolidated net income increased due to tax refunds pursuant to the voidance of a portion of the original assessment relating to transfer pricing adjustment.

Consolidated net sales for fiscal 2008 marked the highest. This result was attributed to an increase in net sales in the Components Business such as solar energy, which more than offset a decrease in net sales in the Equipment Business. Operating profit in the Equipment Business considerably increased due to the improvement of profitability, however, operating profit in the Components Business decreased due to the increase of depreciation. As a result, consolidated net income decreased due to the increase of depreciation. As a result, consolidated net income remained at the same level compared with fiscal 2007.

8.	Performance for fiscal 2009 is as stated in “(1) Business Progress and Results” on previous pages.

(5)	Summary of significant accounting policies

(i)

Standards of preparation of consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States pursuant to the provision of paragraph 1 of Article 120 of the Corporate Calculation Rules of Japan. Certain disclosures and footnotes required under principles generally accepted in the United States are omitted pursuant to the same provision.

(ii)

Valuation of inventories

Finished goods and work in process are mainly stated at the lower of cost or market, the cost being determined by the average method. Other inventories are mainly stated at the lower of cost or market, the cost being determined by the first-in, first-out method.

(iii)

Valuation of securities

Kyocera has adopted SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” for certain debt and equity securities. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from income and recorded in “accumulated other comprehensive income,” net of tax.

(iv)

Depreciation method for property, plant and equipment

Depreciation is computed based mainly on the declining-balance method.

(v)

Goodwill and other intangible assets

Kyocera has adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimate useful lives.

(vi)

Accounting for allowance and accruals

Allowance for doubtful accounts:

In anticipation of uncollectible accounts receivable, Kyocera provides allowance for doubtful accounts, for general accounts receivable, based on the past actual ratio of losses on bad debts; and, for certain specific doubtful accounts receivable, based on estimates of uncollectible amounts pursuant to analysis of individual receivables.

Accrued pension and severance liabilities:

Kyocera adopts SFAS No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions” and SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans.” Kyocera recognizes the overfunded or underfunded status of its defined benefit postretirement plans as an asset or liability in the consolidated balance sheet and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. Prior service cost is amortized by the straight-line method over the average remaining service period of employees. Actuarial gain or loss is recognized by amortizing a portion in excess of 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligations or the market-related value of plan assets by the straight-line method over the average remaining service period of employees.

(6)	Accounting change

In September 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” The purpose of SFAS No. 157 is to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value and enhance disclosures about fair value measurements. The measurement and disclosure requirements related to financial assets and financial liabilities were effective April 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and financial liabilities had no material impact on Kyocera’s consolidated results of operations and financial position.

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans-an amendment of FASB Statements No.87, 88, 106, and 132 (R).” SFAS No. 158 requires an employer to measure the funded status of a benefit plan as of the date of its fiscal year-end statement of financial position for the years ended after December 15, 2008. Kyocera adopted this measurement date provision in fiscal 2009 and measured the funded status of its benefit plans at the date of its fiscal year-end statement of financial position. As a result of applying the transition method of this provision, retained earnings and other comprehensive income at the beginning of the year decreased by ¥522 million and ¥418 million, respectively.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(1) Standards and methods of valuation of assets



Held-to-maturity securities:		Amortized cost method (straight-line method)

Investments in subsidiaries and affiliates:		Cost determined by the moving average method

Other securities:

Marketable:		Based on market price as of the balance sheet date (unrealized gains and losses on those securities are reported in stockholders’ equity and cost is determined by the moving average method)

Non-marketable:		Cost determined by the moving average method

Derivative financial instruments:		Mark-to-market method

Inventories:		Cost determined based on acquisition costs with adjustment by write-down taking into consideration decline of profitability

Finished goods, merchandise and work in process:		The cost of finished goods and work in process are mainly determined by the average cost method. The cost of merchandise is determined mainly by the last purchase method.

Raw materials and supplies:		Raw materials and supplies, except those for telecommunications equipment, are valued at cost, the cost being determined by the last purchase method. Raw materials for telecommunications equipment are valued at cost, the cost being determined by the first-in, first-out method.

(2) Depreciation of non-current assets:



Tangible fixed assets (except for lease asset):		Depreciation is computed at rates based on the estimated useful lives of assets using the declining-balance method. The principal estimated useful lives are as follows: Buildings and structures: 2 years - 33 years Machinery and equipment, and Tools, furniture and fixtures: 2 years - 10 years

Intangible fixed assets (except for lease asset):		Amortization is computed using the straight-line method based on, in case of some patents, the depreciation period set by Kyocera Corporation, and, in case of software for its own use, the useful life thereof in Kyocera Corporation (two years).

Lease asset:		Straight-line method, using the lease periods as the estimate useful lives of such assets.

Long-term prepaid expenses:		Amortization is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of assets.

(3) Accounting for allowances and accruals



Allowances for doubtful accounts:		In anticipation of uncollectible accounts receivable, Kyocera Corporation provides allowance for doubtful accounts, for general accounts receivable, based on the past actual ratio of losses on bad debts; and, for certain specific doubtful accounts receivable, based on estimates of uncollectible amounts pursuant to analysis of individual receivables.

Accrued bonuses for employees:		In order to prepare for bonuses to employees, accrued bonuses are provided based on the amounts expected to be paid, which are determined based on actual payments made in the previous fiscal year.

Accrued bonuses for Directors and Corporate Auditors:		In order to prepare for bonuses to Directors and Corporate Auditors, accrued bonuses are provided based on the amounts expected to be paid.

Warranty reserves:		Warranty reserves are provided to prepare for the cost for after sales service for telecommunications equipment and applied ceramic products based upon the amounts expected to be paid, which are determined taking into account actual payments made in the past, etc.

Allowances for sales returns:		Allowances for sales returns are provided to prepare for losses from write off of products as a result product returns based on the past actual return ratio of unaccepted products multiplied by the amount of the uninspected products at the end of fiscal year.

Accrued pension and severance costs:		In order to prepare for provision of retirement benefits to employees, accrued pension and severance costs are recognized based on projected benefit obligations and plan assets as of the balance sheet date. Unrecognized prior year service cost is amortized over the estimated average remaining service period of employees using the straight-line method. Actuarial gains or losses are amortized over the estimated average remaining service period of employees using the straight-line method following the year in which they are incurred.

Retirement allowances for Directors, Corporate Auditors and Executive Officers:		In order to prepare for retirement benefits to Directors, Corporate Auditors and Executive Officers, retirement allowances for Directors, Corporate Auditors and Executive Officers are provided based on the amounts expected to be paid in accordance with the internal rules of Kyocera Corporation.

(4) Other significant policies



The consumption taxes:		Consumption taxes withheld upon sale and consumption taxes paid for purchases of goods and services are not included in the amounts of the respective revenue and cost or expense items in the accompanying statements of income.

(5)	Change of accounting policies

(i)

Change of accounting method of royalty income

Commencing from fiscal 2009, royalty income, which had been recorded in non-operating profit, is presented as net sales. Kyocera Corporation believes this change will show actual conditions more properly, because, based on sales plans in the solar energy group, royalty income is expected to increase, and royalty income is the main income from operating activities. As a consequence, net sales increased by ¥1,971 million and operating loss decreased by ¥1,971 million, however, this change did not affect recurring profit or income before income taxes.

(ii)

Accounting Standard for Measurement of Inventories

Commencing from fiscal 2009, “Accounting Standard for Measurement of Inventories” (Accounting Standard Board of Japan Statement No. 9 dated July 5, 2006) has been adopted. As a result, inventories are valued on a cost basis (with adjustment by write-down taking into consideration decline of profitability). In addition, ¥1,171 million of loss on disposal of inventories, which had been recorded in non-operating expenses, is presented as cost of sales, and inventories were valued in accordance with such Statement. The effect of applying this standard increased loss from operations by ¥1,501 million, while decreasing recurring profit and income before income taxes by ¥330 million.
