Reference Documents for the General Meeting of Shareholders

Proposals and References are as Follows:

Proposal 1 Appropriation of Surplus

The Company believes that the best way to meet shareholders’ expectations is to enhance its corporate value by improving the consolidated performance of the Company on an ongoing basis.

The Company has adopted the principal guidelines that the dividend amount should be within a range based on net income attributable to shareholders 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 the dividend amount 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, 2013, the Company proposes a year-end dividend for the year ended March 31, 2013 in the amount of 60 yen per share, the same amount as the year-end dividend for the year ended March 31, 2012. 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 the year ended March 31, 2012.

The Company also proposes that funds shall be set aside as General Reserve taking into account the necessary reserve amounts for creation of new businesses, exploitation of new markets, development of new technologies and acquisition of outside management resources that enable us to achieve stable and sustainable growth of the Company.

The proposed appropriation of surplus is as follows:


1.	MattersRelating to Year-end Dividend

	(1)	Type of Assets Distributed as Dividend:

		Cash

	(2)	Matters Relating to the Appropriation to Shareholders of Assets Distributed as Dividend and the Aggregate Amount thereof:

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 efforts, 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.

Management Based on the Bonds of Human Minds

Kyocera started as a small, suburban factory, with no money, credentials or history. We had nothing to rely on but a little technology and 28 trustworthy colleagues. Since then, for the development of Kyocera, everyone has exerted their maximum efforts and managers have devoted their lives to earning the trust of employees. We wanted to be an excellent company where all employees could believe in each other – abandon selfish motives – and be truly proud to work. This has been the base of Kyocera’s management. Human minds are said to be easily changeable. Yet, there is nothing stronger than the human mind. Kyocera developed into what it is today because it is based on the bonds of human minds.

Kazuo Inamori

Chairman Emeritus

Greetings

We are pleased to present to you our Report for the Year Ended March 31, 2013 (hereinafter, “fiscal 2013” refers to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, with other fiscal years referred to in a corresponding manner).

With regard to the economic environment in fiscal 2013, although the U.S. economy expanded moderately, the Japanese economy weakened due to the impact of the recession in the European economy and slowdown in the Chinese economy. In terms of Kyocera’s key markets, production activities were sluggish overall in the digital consumer equipment market while in the environment and energy market demand for solar modules grew considerably in Japan. Consolidated net sales for fiscal 2013 increased compared with fiscal 2012 due to expansion in solar energy business coupled with a full-year contribution to results of a consolidated subsidiary that was newly added in fiscal 2012. Profit was down compared with fiscal 2012, however, due to the significant impact of the recording of an environmental remediation charge at a U.S. based subsidiary.

In fiscal 2014, Kyocera expects an improvement in the export environment on the back of correction to the high yen and recovery in Japanese and overseas economies. We also expect production activities to pick up in the digital consumer equipment market as well as expansion of the solar energy market.

Kyocera instituted a new management system in April 2013. We will seize opportunities offered by the turnaround in the business environment as we seek to further expand sales. We will also integrate our development, production and sales capabilities across a wide array of fields that we have accumulated over the years and strive to bolster new product development and increase market share by leveraging the comprehensive strengths of the Kyocera Group with the aim of boosting performance even further.

We would very much appreciate your continued support of the Kyocera Group as we forge ahead.

Business Report (April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013)

1. Current Conditions of Kyocera Corporation and its Consolidated Subsidiaries

(1) Business Progress and Results

In fiscal 2013, despite increases in public investment and personal consumption, the Japanese economy weakened due primarily to a decrease in exports reflecting a slowdown from the second quarter (July 1 to September 30, 2012) in economies overseas, particularly in Europe and Asia, and to stagnant growth in capital investment in the corporate sector. With respect to the overseas economic environment, the U.S. economy expanded moderately on the back of growth in personal consumption and recovery in housing investment. On the other hand, the European economy remained in a recessionary phase due to the lingering impact of the financial crisis. The slowdown in the Chinese economy intensified due mainly to weakening exports.

In the digital consumer equipment market, which is the principal market for Kyocera Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Kyocera Group” or “Kyocera”), shipment volume was slow overall for conventional mobile phones, PCs and flat-screen TVs despite significant growth for smartphones and tablet PCs compared with fiscal 2012. In contrast, the solar energy market in Japan expanded substantially due primarily to growth in demand in the residential sector and a sharp increase in demand in the public and commercial sectors, which includes mega-solar power projects, as a result of the introduction of the feed-in-tariff for renewable energy in July 2012.

Average exchange rates for fiscal 2013 were ¥83 to the U.S. dollar, marking depreciation of ¥4 (approximately 5%) from ¥79 for fiscal 2012, and ¥107 to the Euro, marking appreciation of ¥2 (approximately 2%) from ¥109 for fiscal 2012. Mainly as a result of the effect of the Yen’s depreciation against the U.S. dollar, net sales and income before income taxes for fiscal 2013 were pushed up by approximately ¥21 billion and ¥2.5 billion, respectively, compared with fiscal 2012.

Consolidated Net Sales for fiscal 2013 increased by ¥89,184 million, or 7.5%, to ¥1,280,054 million, compared with ¥1,190,870 million for fiscal 2012, due primarily to sales growth in the Applied Ceramic Products Group and the Semiconductor Parts Group and a full-year contribution from a consolidated subsidiary newly added in fiscal 2012. Profit From Operations decreased by ¥20,749 million, or 21.2%, to ¥76,926 million, compared with ¥97,675 million for fiscal 2012 due to the recording of a charge of ¥21,300 million for environmental remediation in New Bedford Harbor, Massachusetts in the U.S. by AVX Corporation, a U.S. based subsidiary.

¥159,902 million, up 5.2% year on year

¥10,542 million, up 30.9% year on year

(2) Capital Expenditures

During fiscal 2013, due to a sluggish demand in digital consumer equipment market, etc., in spite of making an investment in a new plant in Vietnam, Kyocera slowed its capital expenditures mainly in component business. As a result, capital expenditures for fiscal 2013 totaled ¥56,688 million, a decrease of ¥9,720 million, or 14.6%, compared with fiscal 2012.

Required funds for fiscal 2013 were mainly financed from internal resources.

(3) Management Challenges

The business environment surrounding the Kyocera Group has been harsh overall in the past few years through this fiscal year due primarily to the financial crisis and natural disasters, coupled with the Yen’s sharp appreciation. Kyocera expects the business environment to pick up going forward, however, in line with gradual recovery in the global economy and correction of the extreme appreciation of the Yen. Although fierce competition is projected to continue in the global market, Kyocera intends to take full advantage of the positive turn in the business environment to drive further growth for the Kyocera Group. To achieve this, Kyocera will continue with initiatives to boost profitability, which includes persisting with efforts to reduce manufacturing costs and raise productivity, while also seeking to launch new products and cultivate new markets. Specifically, Kyocera aims to be a high-growth, highly profitable company by tackling the following challenges.

i) Expand Sales in Growth Markets

Kyocera views the information and communications market and the environment and energy market as future growth markets and will strive to further expand sales in both areas. In addition, Kyocera will leverage the comprehensive capabilities of the Kyocera Group to expand customer and sales networks and launch new products in a timely manner, particularly in these markets, as well as to promote global business development. In the information and communications market, Kyocera anticipates demand to grow for small, high-performance components in line with more advanced functionality in smartphones and increased speed in communications networks such as with LTE (Long Term Evolution). Kyocera will work to increase sales in the Components Business by releasing high performance components and expanding business areas. Efforts will also be made to increase sales in the Equipment Business by introducing attractive telecommunications equipment and information equipment that meets customer needs and by vigorously implementing sales promotion measures.

In the environment and energy market, demand for solar energy batteries is expected to continue rising, particularly in Japan. Kyocera will work to expand business in this sector, from the supply of solar cells and modules through the design, construction and maintenance of solar energy systems to power generation projects by making the most of management resources throughout the Kyocera Group. In addition, Kyocera will strive to expand sales of environment and energy related products through marketing of battery storage units and energy management systems which control energy efficiently in combination with solar energy systems.

ii) Enhance Management Foundations

Kyocera will further integrate a variety of existing products, technologies and sales networks from the components business into the equipment business as well as accelerate the creation and development of new products that meet customer needs and expand sales by leveraging the comprehensive capabilities of the Kyocera Group.

In terms of manufacturing, Kyocera aims to overcome global competition on the cost front and at the same time to strengthen services in the Asian region, where customer production sites are located by expanding production in Vietnam and India in order to reduce production costs. On the other hand, Kyocera seeks to expand production of high-value-added products and achieve increased profitability in its Japanese production by driving further advancement in production technology. Kyocera will also continuously seek opportunities to strengthen its business foundations by acquiring external management resources.

(3)	Systems to Ensure Efficient Business Conduct by Directors;

Representative Directors shall clearly delegate certain authority and related responsibility to Executive Officers by establishing an Executive Officer system to achieve efficient and effective business conduct. Representative Directors shall request the Executive Officers to report the status of their business conduct, and, accordingly, a system shall be maintained under which Representative Directors can verify whether business is being conducted efficiently.

(4)	System to Ensure Appropriate Business Conduct at the Kyocera Group;

We have audited, pursuant to paragraph 4 of Article 444 of the Companies Act of Japan, the consolidated financial statements, which consist of the consolidated balance sheet, the consolidated statement of income, the consolidated statement of equity and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, of Kyocera Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) for the fiscal year from April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 1 of Article 120-2 of the Corporate Calculation Rules of Japan. This responsibility includes implementing and maintaining internal controls deemed necessary by management for the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan. These standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including assessment of the risk of material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making such risk assessment, the auditor considers the Company’s internal controls relevant to the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2013 and the consolidated results for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 1 of Article 120-2 of the Corporate Calculation Rules of Japan.

Other Matters

We have no interest in or relationship with the Company which is required to be disclosed pursuant to the provisions of the Certified Public Accountants Law of Japan.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)	Scope of Consolidation


Number of Consolidated Subsidiaries:		217

Major Consolidated Subsidiaries:		Kyocera Document Solutions Inc., AVX Corporation and
		Kyocera International, Inc.

A Non-Consolidated Subsidiary:		Kyoto Purple Sanga Co., Ltd.

This subsidiary is excluded from the scope of consolidation because its total assets, net sales, net income attributable to shareholders of Kyocera Corporation and retained earnings, etc. are immaterial, as such, they do not hinder a rational judgment of financial position and results of operations of Kyocera when excluded from the scope of consolidation.

(2)	Scope of Application of the Equity Method

Number of Non-Consolidated Subsidiaries and Affiliates Accounted for by the Equity Method: 11

Major Affiliate Accounted for by the Equity Method: Kagoshima Mega Solar Power Corporation

(3)	Changes in Scope of Consolidation


Number of Increase:		11, Motex Inc., AVX Tantalum Asia Corporation and others

Number of Decrease:		17, Kyocera Chemical (Thailand) Ltd. and others

(4)	Changes in Scope of Application of the Equity Method


Number of Increase:		2, Kagoshima Mega Solar Power Corporation and another

Number of Decrease:		2

(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 of America pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 1 of Article 120-2 of the Ordinance on Accounting of Companies of Japan. Certain disclosure and footnotes required under principles generally accepted in the United States are omitted pursuant to the provisions of the second sentence of the same paragraph.

(ii)

Valuation of Inventories

Kyocera has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)’s Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 330, “Inventory.” Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. For finished goods and work in process, cost is mainly determined by the average method, and by other methods including the first-in, first-out method. For raw materials and supplies, cost is mainly determined by the first-in, first-out method, and by other methods including the average method. Kyocera recognizes estimated write-down of inventories for excess, slow-moving and obsolete inventories.

(iii)

Valuation of Securities

Kyocera has adopted ASC 320, “Debt and Equity Securities.” 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. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost. Non-marketable equity securities are recorded using the cost method based on ASC325, “Investments – Other.”

(iv)

Depreciation Method for Property, Plant and Equipment

Kyocera has adopted ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment.” Depreciation is accounted mainly by the declining balance method on estimated useful lives.

(v)

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Kyocera has adopted ASC 350, “Intangibles–Goodwill and Other.” Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are, rather than being amortized on a straight line basis, reviewed for impairment annually, and also following any events and changes in circumstances that might lead to impairment. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized straight line over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and pursuant to ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment” reviewed for impairment following any events and changes in circumstances that might lead to impairment.

(vi)

Accounting for Allowances and Accruals

Allowances for Doubtful Accounts:

Kyocera maintains allowances for doubtful accounts related to trade notes receivable, trade accounts receivable and finance receivables for estimated losses resulting from customers’ inability to make timely payments. 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. In addition, when Kyocera determines it is unable to collect receivables, Kyocera directly writes off these receivables to expenses in the period incurred.

Allowances for Sales Returns:

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

Accrued Pension and Severance Liabilities:

Kyocera has adopted ASC 715, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits.” Kyocera recognizes the overfunded or underfunded status of its defined benefit postretirement plans as an asset or liability, as the case may be, in the consolidated balance sheet and recognizes changes in funded status during the year as changes in comprehensive income for such year. 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)	Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

On April 1, 2012, Kyocera adopted the FASB’s Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” and ASU No. 2011-12, “Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05.” ASU No. 2011-05 requires entities to present net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. It eliminates the current option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. ASU No. 2011-05 also requires reclassification adjustments and the effect of those adjustments on net income and other comprehensive income to be disclosed on the face of financial statements, however, the effective date of this requirement is deferred indefinitely by ASU No. 2011-12. As these accounting standards are a provision for presentation, the adoption of these accounting standards did not have an impact on Kyocera’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

On April 1, 2012, Kyocera adopted the FASB’s ASU No. 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment.” This accounting standard permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. An entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. As this accounting standard does not actually change how the impairment would be calculated, the adoption of this accounting standard did not have an impact on Kyocera’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

4. Notes to Financial Instruments

(1) Notes to Financial Instruments

Kyocera refrains from making any speculative transactions and always maintains a high level of capital liquidity to ensure the utmost stability in its fund management. Operating receivables such as notes receivable and accounts receivable are exposed to customer credit risk. Kyocera seeks to reduce this risk in accordance with its credit management policies. Kyocera is exposed to market risk, including changes in foreign currency 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 mainly enters into foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps. Kyocera regularly assesses these market risks based on policies and procedures established to protect against the adverse effects of these risks and other potential exposures, primarily by reference to the market value of financial instruments.

Kyocera has marketable equity securities, debt securities and non-marketable equity securities. Kyocera is currently a major shareholder of KDDI Corporation. As of March 31, 2013, the fair value of the shares of KDDI Corporation of which Kyocera owns was ¥443,252 million.

(2) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair values of financial instruments as of March 31, 2013 and methods and assumption used to estimate such fair values were as follows:


	(Yen in millions)
	Carrying Amount			Fair Value			Difference
Assets (a):
Short-term Investments in Debt and Equity Securities		43,893			43,910			17
Long-term Investments in Debt and Equity Securities		506,490			506,551			61
Other Long-term Investments (excluding Investment in and Advances to Affiliates and Unconsolidated Subsidiaries)		9,516			9,516			—

Total		559,899			559,977			78

Liabilities (b):
Long-term Debt (including due within One Year)		30,672			30,691			19

Total		30,672			30,691			19

Derivatives (c) (Note):
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments		(109	)		(109	)		—
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments		(8,190	)		(8,190	)		—

Total		(8,299	)		(8,299	)		—

Note:

Assets and liabilities of derivative transactions are recorded in net amount. Liabilities are presented by ( ).

(a)

For investments with active markets, fair value is estimated based on quoted market prices. For non-marketable equity securities, it is not practicable to estimate fair value of non-marketable equity securities because of the lack of market price and difficulty in estimating fair value without incurring excessive cost. In addition, Kyocera did not identify any events or changes in circumstances that may have had a significant adverse effect on these investments. The aggregate carrying amount of the investments included in the above table as of March 31, 2013 was ¥9,428 million.

(b)	Fair value is estimated by discounting cash flows, using current interest rates for instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities at the end of the fiscal year.

6. Other Note

AVX Corporation (AVX), a U.S. based subsidiary, has been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), state governmental agencies or other private parties as a potentially responsible party (PRP) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) or equivalent state or local laws for clean-up and response costs associated with certain sites at which remediation is required with respect to prior contamination. Because CERCLA has generally been construed to authorize joint and several liability, the EPA could seek to recover all clean-up costs from any one of the PRPs at a site despite the involvement of other PRPs. At certain sites, financially responsible PRPs other than AVX also are, or have been, involved in site investigation and clean-up activities. AVX believes that liability resulting from these sites will be apportioned between AVX and other PRPs.

To resolve its liability at the sites at which AVX has been named a PRP, AVX has entered into various administrative orders and consent decrees with federal and state regulatory agencies governing the timing and nature of investigation and remediation. As is customary, the orders and decrees regarding sites where the PRPs are not themselves implementing the chosen remedy contain provisions allowing the EPA to reopen the agreement and seek additional amounts from settling PRPs in the event that certain contingencies occur, such as the discovery of significant new information about site conditions.

In 1991, in connection with a consent decree, AVX paid ¥8,878 million ($66 million), plus interest, toward the environmental conditions at, and remediation of, New Bedford Harbor in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (the harbor) in settlement with the United States and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, subject to reopener provisions, including a reopener if certain remediation costs for the site exceed ¥12,267 million ($130.5 million).

On April 18, 2012, the EPA issued to AVX a Unilateral Administrative Order (UAO) directing AVX to perform the Remedial Design, the Remedial Action and Operation and Maintenance as set forth in the UAO, for the harbor clean-up, pursuant to the reopener provisions. The effective date set forth in the UAO was June 18, 2012 (and subsequently extended to July 1, 2013), pursuant to which AVX had to inform the EPA if it intends to comply with the UAO.

On October 10, 2012, the EPA, the United States, and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and AVX announced that they had reached a financial settlement with respect to the EPA’s ongoing clean-up of the harbor. That agreement is contained in a Supplemental Consent Decree that modifies certain provisions of the 1992 Consent Decree, including elimination of the governments’ right to invoke the clean-up reopener provisions in the future. In accordance with the settlement, AVX will pay ¥34,428 million ($366.25 million), plus interest computed from August 1, 2012, in three installments over a two–year period for use by the EPA and the Commonwealth to complete the clean-up of the harbor, and the EPA will withdraw the UAO. The settlement requires approval by the United States District Court before becoming final. The timing of any such approval is uncertain.

AVX recorded a charge of ¥21,300 million ($266.25 million) with respect to this matter for the year ended March 31, 2013 in addition to the ¥7,900 million ($100 million) charge recorded in the year ended March 31, 2012. Kyocera included this charge in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income for the year ended March 31, 2013.

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

Leased Assets:		Straight-line method, using lease periods as the estimated 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 allowances 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.

Allowances for Sales Returns:		Allowances for sales returns are provided to prepare for losses from write-off of products as a result of product returns based on the past actual return ratio of unaccepted products multiplied by the amount of the uninspected products at the end of the 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. The exceeding amounts are provided as prepaid pension and severance expenses since plan assets exceeded projected benefit obligations as of the balance sheet date.
