1. BASIS OF PRESENTING CONSOLIDATED<br />

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

<strong>Sumitomo</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> <strong>Industries</strong>, <strong>Ltd</strong>. (the “Company”) and its<br />

domestic consolidated subsidiaries maintain their accounts<br />

and records in Japanese yen, and in accordance with the<br />

provisions set forth in the Japanese Corporate Law (the<br />

“Law”), the Japanese Financial Instruments and Exchange Act<br />

and its related accounting regulations and in conformity with<br />

accounting principles generally accepted in Japan (“Japanese<br />

GAAP”), which are different in certain respects as to application<br />

and disclosure requirements of International Financial<br />

Reporting Standards.<br />

The accounts of overseas consolidated subsidiaries are<br />

prepared in accordance with either International Financial<br />

Reporting Standards or U.S. generally accepted accounting<br />

principles, with adjustments for the specified five items as<br />

applicable.<br />

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have<br />

been restructured and translated into English, with some<br />

expanded descriptions, from the consolidated financial<br />

statements of the Company prepared in accordance with<br />

Japanese GAAP and filed with the appropriate Local Finance<br />

Bureau of the Ministry of Finance in Japan as required by<br />

the Japanese Financial Instruments and Exchange Act.<br />

Some supplementary information included in the statutory<br />

consolidated financial statements prepared in Japanese,<br />

but not required for fair presentation, is not presented in the<br />

accompanying consolidated financial statements.<br />

The translations of the Japanese yen amounts into U.S.<br />

dollars are included solely for the convenience of readers<br />

outside Japan, using the prevailing exchange rate at March<br />

31, 2012, which was ¥82.19 to U.S.$1.00. These translations<br />

should not be construed as representations that the<br />

Japanese yen amounts have been, could have been, or could<br />

in the future be, converted into U.S. dollars at this or any<br />

other rate of exchange.<br />

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING<br />

POLICIES<br />

a) Consolidation<br />

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts<br />

of the Company and all of its significant subsidiaries. <strong>All</strong> significant<br />

intercompany transactions and balances have been<br />

eliminated. The difference between the cost of investments<br />

in consolidated subsidiaries and the underlying equity at<br />

dates of acquisition is amortized over periods within 20 years;<br />

however, most are in five years.<br />

Investments in significant affiliates and unconsolidated<br />

subsidiaries are accounted for by the equity method.<br />

Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates,<br />

not accounted for by the equity method, are stated at cost.<br />

fiscal year ending December 31 processed additional financial<br />

closings at March-end for consolidation purposes, aiming at a<br />

more appropriate disclosure.<br />
