In fiscal 2011, Teijin announced a new medium- to long-term management vision, CHANGE for 2016. To achieve the targets set forth

in this vision, Teijin is implementing major constructive change. In recent years, the Company classified its core global operations into

eight business areas with an emphasis on high-performance materials and healthcare. Effective from fiscal 2012, Teijin will seek to

provide solutions to customers and markets, further enhancing the quality of life of people everywhere, by concentrating on three

key domains: Green chemistry, healthcare and overlapping domains. At the same time, Teijin will work to ensure both sustainable

growth and profitability, primarily through its promising growth businesses, notably advanced fibers and composites and healthcare.

2 Teijin Limited

In February 2012, we announced CHANGE for 2016, our new

medium- to long-term management vision. Central features of

CHANGE for 2016 include our ongoing long-term vision, which

calls for us to secure profi table sustainable growth, build value that

also benefi ts society and attain global excellence by transforming

our four fundamental portfolios, namely business, geographic,

technology and human resources.

CHANGE for 2016 also sets ambitious targets for consolidated

net sales and operating income for fi scal 2016, of ¥1.3 trillion and

¥100 billion, respectively, and for around fi scal 2020, of ¥2.0 trillion

and ¥200 billion. We are well aware that none of these targets

will be reached by remaining on the same path. To achieve the

targets we have set, it is vital that we change—and change in a

constructive and proactive manner.

In the coming years, we will shift away from our traditional busi-

ness model, which positions us as an upstream manufacturer sup-

plying materials to downstream customers, evolving instead toward

a business model that focuses on providing optimal solutions. In

practical terms, this means that rather than simply providing materi-

als, we will focus on extending solutions that respond effectively

to the needs of customers. Despite boasting superior high-

performance products, our materials businesses have traditionally

lacked suffi cient expertise and experience to provide the solutions

that our customers and end users seek. In the years ahead, rather

than limiting ourselves to developing and selling materials, we will

work to integrate advanced materials and processing technolo-

gies, as well as to promote the development and cultivation of

applications in collaboration with customers. We will also broaden

the scope of our efforts to encompass components and devices

that are further down the supply chain, thereby enabling us to offer

innovative, value-yielding products and services and reinventing

Teijin as an organization that is capable of continuously creating

value for its customers. Further, we will reinforce existing and

acquire new technologies that overlap materials and healthcare,

with the aim of providing unparalleled solutions.

The ability to provide solutions is what distinguishes companies

that are capable of sustainable growth from those that are not.

Guided by CHANGE for 2016, we will apply ourselves with full

determination to ensure Teijin is one of the former.

As always, we are grateful for and encouraged by your ongoing

support.

Thermoplastic CFRP LiB separators

Having perfected technologies that reduce the time required for molding thermoplastic carbon fi ber–reinforced plastic (CFRP) to less than one minute, in December 2011 we signed an agreement with General Motors Company of the United States to collaborate in the devel-opment of thermoplastic CFRP for use in mass-produced GM vehicles. We will continue to promote collaboration in this area with automakers in Japan and overseas. In the promising area of lithium-ion battery (LiB) separators, we developed two innovative products that boast dramatically improved heat resistance, which enhances capacity and safety and extends lifespan. We have secured the approval of several leading battery manufacturers and in June 2012 commenced operations at our new LiB separator production joint venture in the Republic of Korea (ROK). Next-generation printable electronics technologies facilitate the production of semiconductors and other electronic circuits by printing electroconductive inks directly onto substrates, signifi cantly streamlining fabrication processes. We are currently promoting development efforts targeting the markets for semiconductors, solar cell materials and thin-fi lm transistors. Another focus is new healthcare businesses—including regenerative medicine and tissue repair—that leverage our materials and healthcare technologies.

Business Group Review

Q How did the advanced fi bers and composites

businesses perform in fi scal 2011?

A Sales of our principal high-performance fi bers were level in

actual terms with fi scal 2010, while operating income increased.

In aramid fi bers, demand for mainstay Twaron and Technora para-

aramid fi bers was steady for most applications. In carbon fi bers

and composites, demand was favorable for aircraft applications,

although demand for general industrial applications and for use

in sports and leisure equipment softened in the second half. The

polyester fi bers business fi nished in the black, bolstered by the

progress of structural reforms, despite fl agging demand in the

immediate aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake and the

suspension of operations at production facilities in Thailand as a

result of severe fl ooding.

Q What do you see as your principal challenges in fi scal

2012 and how will you respond?

A We expect demand for aramid fi bers to continue growing at a

steady pace. In response, we will focus on increasing our produc-

tion capacity by eliminating bottlenecks. At the same time, we will

explore the idea of expanding our production facilities in emerging

economies, particularly in Asia. We will also work to boost sales and

further the development of new high-performance polyethylene, as

well as to cultivate new applications such as aramid tape.

Despite persistently weak demand for general industrial applica-

tions and for use in sports and leisure equipment, we anticipate

overall demand for carbon fi bers and composites will remain solid,

led by products for aircraft-related applications and for use in

compounds. Accordingly, we will step up efforts to encourage the

adoption of our products for use in aircraft. We will also continue

with efforts to bolster sales for use in pressure vessels for natural

gas–related applications, a growing market thanks to the expansion

of shale gas development. On another front, we will press forward

with the commercialization of thermoplastic CFRP, notably for

automotive applications.

In polyester fi bers, we will continue to implement measures

designed to achieve the full restoration of our fl ood-damaged

Global Market View

Aramid Fibers

Owing to sizeable technological barriers to new market entrants, the global market for para-aramid fi bers is essentially dominated by Teijin and E.I. DuPont de Nemours and Com-pany (DuPont). Global demand, which has risen steadily since bottoming out in late 2010, has recovered to prerecession levels and is expected to rise by between 7% and 9% annually for the foreseeable future. This projection refl ects the increasing need for materials that contribute to greater safety and security, reduce the weight of fi nished products and help lower energy and resource consumption.

Carbon Fibers

The world’s top three manufacturers of carbon fi bers at present—Teijin, Toray Industries, Inc., and Mitsubishi Rayon Co., Ltd.—currently account for more than 50% of global produc-tion capacity. Demand for carbon fi bers has climbed since bottoming out between April and June 2009 and the supply–demand bal-ance has improved, although competition is intensifying for use in sports and leisure equip-ment, which accounts for approximately 30% of all applications for carbon fi bers. Over the long term, we expect global demand for carbon fi bers to expand by more than 15% annually, as tighter environmental regulations and the growing preference for energy-effi cient, ecologically sound options drives interest in carbon fi bers for aircraft, automotive and general industrial applications.

production facilities in Thailand. We had already resumed produc-

tion on several lines by February. In Japan, we will also capitalize

on demand related to efforts to encourage energy savings and to

post-quake reconstruction initiatives.

Q What are your medium- to long-term strategies?

A With demand for para-aramid fi bers expanding for use in

automotive-related materials, reinforcement materials for fi ber optic

cables and protective clothing, we expect the global market to grow

by between 7% and 9% annually for the foreseeable future. In this

environment, we will strive to reinforce our operating results by

continuing to build on our competitive advantages, which include

our leading global market share and our extensive product portfolio,

which encompasses three principal aramid fi bers products and

high-performance polyethylene products, enabling us to provide

diverse solutions. Our strategic focus will be on promoting the timely

expansion of our production capacity, as well as on reinforcing

our presence in emerging economies and promoting collaboration

with customers with the aim of cultivating new applications.

Competition in the carbon fi bers and composites market is

intensifying, owing to a shift toward in-house production of carbon

fi bers by prepreg manufacturers, the appearance of market entrants

and aggressive diversifi cation by large-tow manufacturers. None-

theless, the global market is expected to rise by more than 15%

annually over the medium to long term, refl ecting expanding demand,

notably for aircraft and general industrial applications. Demand is

also expected to increase for use in automotive-related materials,

owing to the expansion of the market for electric vehicles. Here, we

will continue to capitalize on our principal competitive advantages,

namely, our high global market share, particularly for aircraft appli-

cations, and our innovative mass-production technologies for ther-

moplastic CFRP components. Our basic strategies are to collabo-

rate with customers with the aim of cultivating new markets and

applications and expanding our global operations, as well as to

promote ongoing efforts to develop materials for use in aircraft,

and to work to reduce costs and further enhance quality.

Achieving a tenfold increase in production efficiency

Thermoplastic CFRP

Countries around the world are moving to tighten regulations governing vehicle CO2 emissions and fuel

economy. The European Commission set a CO2 emissions limit of 175 g/km in 2009 and announced plans

for the gradual lowering of limits to 130 g/km in 2012, 95 g/km in 2020 and 70 g/km in 2025. The United

States has announced targets for an improvement in fuel economy of 50% from the 2010 level by 2025. As a

consequence, automakers are rushing to develop commercially viable electric vehicles and other alternatives

to conventional gasoline-powered vehicles that achieve signifi cantly lower emissions and boost fuel economy.

One of the biggest challenges in this effort is to substantially reduce vehicle weight. A vehicle’s frame

accounts for over 30% of its total weight. Using thermoplastic CFRP exclusively for the frame thus facilitates

a sharp reduction in overall vehicle weight, as well as of the powertrain and other components. We recently

completed the development of the world’s fi rst mass-production technologies for thermoplastic CFRP that reduce the time required for mold-

ing to less than one minute, compared with 10 minutes for thermosetting CFRP. Recently, we signed an agreement with General Motors to

cooperate in the development of thermoplastic CFRP for use in mass-produced GM vehicles and will advance the swift commercialization of

thermoplastic CFRP by pursuing initiatives with other automakers. Confi dent in the potential of this business to evolve into a major pillar of our

operations, we are aiming to achieve annual sales in the composites business of between ¥150 billion and ¥200 billion by fi scal 2020.

Development milestones

Q How were results in the electronics materials and

performance polymer products businesses in fi scal

2011?

A Operating income for polycarbonate resin declined sharply,

owing to a harsh operating environment for our customers, princi-

pally manufacturers in the electrical and electronics equipment fi eld,

a result of such factors as slack demand for liquid crystal display

(LCD) televisions, the European fi nancial crisis and the impact of the

Great East Japan Earthquake and the severe fl ooding in Thailand.

Demand for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fi lm softened from the

third quarter for use in LCD refl ective fi lm and solar cell back sheets.

Q What do you see as your principal challenges in fi scal

2012 and how will you respond?

A In the polycarbonate resin business, operating conditions were

harsh through to the end of 2011, but demand began to improve

in January 2012, particularly in the PRC. Rising prices for key raw

materials and forceful moves by competitors to expand production

capacity are expected to have a continuing negative impact. To bol-

ster operating results, we will accelerate the global expansion of our

compounds business. We will also redouble our efforts to market

high-end and mid-range products to customers in Japan and

around the world.

Polycarbonate Resin

The world’s top fi ve manufacturers of polycarbonate resin are Bayer AG, Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC), Teijin, the Mitsubishi Group and Styron LLC. Together these companies account for approximately 80% of global production capacity. Although demand for polycarbonate resin began to pick up after bottoming out in October–December 2011, rising prices for key raw materials and the aggressive expansion of production capacity by competitors continue to have a detrimental effect on the market. However, while global demand shrank in fi scal 2011, in fi scal 2012 renewed demand in the PRC and other emerging economies is expected to drive growth of between 5% and 6%.

PET Film

The global market for PET fi lm rallied after bottoming out early in 2010, returning to the prerecession level in the fi rst half of fi scal 2010. However, in fi scal 2011, demand rose only 3%. Nonetheless, demand for refl ective PET fi lm for use in LCD backlights, a principal application for this product, is expected to rebound, while inventory adjustments by customers are nearing completion. Accordingly, demand is expected to expand by approximately 7% annually for the foreseeable future, led by the high-growth Asian market.

blue-chip companies.

Q What are your medium- to long-term strategies?

A To date, we have sought to build on our technological expertise as

a manufacturer and on our planning prowess to evolve our innovative

business model, bolstering our logistics, credit management and infor-

mation capabilities—thereby enhancing our position as a specialized fi ber

products trading company—and linking these capabilities organically.

These efforts have been guided by with what we call our “3C” approach:

Coordinating our value chain; Compounding materials, technologies and

human resources to cultivate new business opportunities; and, Converting,

that is, maximizing our converter functions to add value. The incorpora-

tion of the apparel component of the polyester fi bers business into our

business group has added polyester fi lament yarn and textile production

technologies, signifi cantly enhancing our integrated supply chain, market

responsiveness and ability to propose comprehensive solutions.

Q How did the IT business perform in fi scal 2011?

A We continued to operate in an uncertain environment, owing to efforts

by companies to constrain IT spending, combined with the impact of the

Great East Japan Earthquake. Nonetheless, thanks to growth-oriented

investments and ongoing efforts to secure profi tability and reinforce our

operating structure, we achieved increases in both sales and operating

income.

Q What do you see as your principal challenges in fi scal 2012

and how will you respond?

A Given the increasing prevalence of smartphones, tablet computers and

other sophisticated information terminals, as well as advances in cloud-

based and other services, user requirements are expected to become

increasingly diverse and the scope of application for IT services is set to

expand. Guided by our new medium-term business plan, we will respond

to these and other changes in operating conditions by implementing deci-

sive measures to accelerate growth, particularly in our core businesses,

namely, internet services, healthcare solutions and GRANDIT®, a web-based

enterprise resource planning (ERP) software package.

Q What can you tell us about your medium-term business plan?

A The watchword of the plan is ‘united innovation.’ Our fi rst priority

will be innovation that enables us to respond quickly to changes in the

operating environment, thereby helping us foster a corporate culture that

emphasizes a willingness to take on challenges, alongside the cultivation

of new businesses and services and quick and accurate responses to

market and technological change.

Second, we will target innovation that bolsters the scale and diversi-

fi es the nature of core businesses. This will involve stepping up efforts to

grow our net services and healthcare solutions businesses, augmenting

and adjusting the focus of IT services for corporate customers and driv-

ing overall growth by taking advantage of promising M&A opportunities.

Specifi c measures in the net services business include capitalizing on

the consumer shift to smartphones to expand into global markets and

to modify our business model, as well as to enhance profi tability and

develop a new platform for our social media services. In IT solutions for

the healthcare fi eld, we will intensify efforts to provide solutions for phar-

maceuticals manufacturers and health insurance associations, as well as

launch new services targeted at peripheral markets, including pharmacies

and nursing care service providers. We will also refi ne and refocus our

IT solutions for corporate customers by fortifying global support for

GRANDIT® customers and advancing the development of cloud-based

services for corporate groups.

To facilitate ‘united innovation,’ we will continue to implement mea-

sures that reinforce our operating foundation. Of particular note, we will

modify business processes and boost operations to better refl ect cus-

tomer perspectives and service quality concerns. We will also work to

secure and foster the talented human resources necessary for the further

global expansion of our operations.

Development Group

Q What can you tell us about your efforts to develop new

businesses?

A We are reinforcing R&D with the aim of promptly commercializing

achievements in four key areas, namely, bioplastics, high-performance

electronics materials, water treatment and advanced medical materi-

als. R&D efforts are led by corporate research facilities, notably the

Teijin Technology Innovation Center, the Integrative Technology

Research Institute and the Material Analysis Research Laboratories.

In the area of bioplastics, we are advancing the commercialization

of a number of promising products, including a highly heat-resistant

polylactic acid bioplastic (BIOFRONT), a bio-derived PET product

(ECOCIRLE Plantfi ber) and a bio-derived polycarbonate resin. In the

area of high-performance electronics materials, development efforts

are accentuating innovative thermoresistant LiB separators, which

respond to rising demand for LiBs that deliver greater safety and

capacity, and printable electronics, which signifi cantly streamline fab-

rication processes for semiconductors and other devices. In water

treatment, our goal is to provide comprehensive wastewater treat-

ment solutions. Of particular note, we are promoting the adoption

of the MSABP®* (Multi-Stage Activated Biological Process) system,

which uses the action of microorganisms, thereby making it possible

to effectively treat effl uent with high concentrations of organic sub-

stances. This system has already been selected for use in such

countries as Angola and the PRC. In advanced medical materials,

we are integrating materials technologies with healthcare technolo-

gies to develop materials for tissue repair, drug delivery systems

and medical equipment.

Q What is special about Teijin’s LiB separators and how

are efforts to commercialize progressing?

A LiB separators are widely used, with applications including

electric vehicles, mobile phones and notebook computers, and we

expect demand to continue rising for greater capacity and improved

safety. By using highly heat-resistant coatings, one made with aramid

materials and one with a fl uorine compound coating, we succeeded

in developing two types of LiB separator that achieve signifi cantly

higher capacity, as well as outstanding safety and a long lifespan.

We have secured the approval of several leading battery manufactur-

ers and have recently established a company to manufacture our

LiB separators in the ROK in a joint venture with a local partner.

The New Business Development Group has three basic mis-sions. The fi rst is to leverage Teijin’s incubation capabilities to facilitate the swift creation of new businesses. The second is to conduct investigative research to develop basic technolo-gies that will enable new businesses to germinate. The third is to promote research with a long-term perspective in areas that straddle existing businesses. Guided by these missions, this group focuses on developing advanced technologies and on transforming such technologies into commercially viable businesses with the objective of building a portfolio of promising businesses and ensuring sustainable growth.

Recognizing technological innovation as vital to ensuring sustain-

able growth, we continue to place a high priority on R&D. Guided

by the Chief Science and Technology Offi cer, appointed as part of

an effort to reinforce our Group R&D organization as we entered fi s-

cal 2012, more than 1,600 researchers at nine major R&D sites in

Japan and seven overseas continue to undertake ambitious R&D

and contribute to the evolution of our unique solutions-oriented

business model.

For strategic purposes, we have grouped highly promising

markets into fi ve key fi elds: Sustainable transportation; information

and electronics; safety and protection; environment and energy;

and healthcare. We have also identifi ed three core technological

areas—high-performance fi bers and composite materials, high-

performance electronics and advanced medical materials—in

which we will concentrate R&D resources with the aim of providing

innovative solutions in these fi elds.

Transforming our Technology Portfolio to Facilitate the

Provision of Optimal Solutions

Restructuring our technology portfolio is crucial to the Teijin Group’s

evolution toward a business model that focuses on providing

solutions. Our materials businesses have achieved a certain degree

of success in meeting the needs of our customers, but that has

meant our business has traditionally emphasized the supply of

upstream materials, limiting our understanding of the needs of end

users. As a result, despite having superior production and proc-

essing technologies, our ability to provide effective solutions and

uncover latent market needs has been restricted. Under CHANGE

for 2016, we will shift our focus to creating a technology portfolio

that ensures a fi rm grasp of end users’ needs and which facilitates

the provision of optimal solutions further down the supply chain.

Basic Objectives behind Transforming our Technology

Portfolio

Our fi rst objective in transforming our technology portfolio is to

broaden the scope of and add depth to existing technologies,

enabling us to enhance our technological advantages and expand

existing businesses. Second, we aim to reinforce existing and

acquire new processing technologies. Our purpose here is to

provide solutions further down the supply chain. To this end, we

will promote the design of distinctive components and devices by

championing the assimilation of advanced materials and sophisti-

cated processing technologies, as well as by combining and amal-

gamating various conventional materials developed independently

and with other companies. In addition, we will pursue collaboration

with customers in the development of new products. Third, we will

work to integrate materials and healthcare technologies, furthering

the creation of pioneering healthcare businesses in such areas as

materials for regenerative medicine and tissue repair and basic

materials for drug delivery systems.

Fostering the Next Generation of Teijin Researchers

In addition to seconding individuals to leading research institutions

both in Japan and overseas, we work to foster junior researchers

through such initiatives as the Teijin 21st Century Forum and the

Teijin Technology Advisory Council. Our Teijin Techno College is

staffed by former Teijin employees, retired from management-level

positions, who act as instructors, sharing their expertise, skill and

technological knowledge with current R&D personnel. We are also

fortunate to have Dr. Ei-ichi Negishi, a Nobel Prize in Chemistry

2010 laureate and a former Teijin employee, on staff at present

as a Teijin Group Distinguished Fellow, a capacity that enables

him to extend invaluable guidance to our researchers.

Cultivating New Technologies through Open Innovation

In line with our objective of providing customers with advanced

solutions in a timely manner, we are actively promoting open inno-

vation through partnerships involving industry, government and

academia, both in Japan and overseas. Such efforts are designed

to facilitate open, cooperative R&D that integrates basic research,

incubation and marketing, thereby accelerating the development

process.

Development pipeline for new healthcare businesses

Guided by our CHANGE for 2016 medium- to long-term vision, which

designates promising businesses that straddle our existing green

chemistry and healthcare domains as “overlapping domains,” we

are working to cultivate exciting new healthcare businesses.

We have long conducted R&D aimed at integrating materials

technologies in our portfolio that respond to demand in the medical

fi eld—including technologies used in the development of bioabsorb-

able polymers and other new materials, as well as nanomaterials

processing and microforming technologies—with key Teijin health-

care technologies for cellular engineering, protein engineering, drug

formulation and medical equipment design. Looking ahead, we will

further efforts to reinforce existing and develop new technologies

that integrate materials and healthcare technologies.

New healthcare businesses we are targeting include radical

tissue repair treatment, which involves materials for regenerative

medicine and tissue repair; drug delivery systems, which combine

medical materials and pharmaceuticals; and healthcare for seniors,

which brings together materials for medical equipment, sports med-

icine and techniques for treating musculoskeletal disorders, such

as locomotive syndrome. Materials for regenerative medicine and

tissue repair currently under development include drugs for cellular

therapy, which are used in stroke therapy, adhesive barrier materi-

als and bone support materials. In the area of basic materials for

drug delivery systems, our efforts encompass the clinical develop-

ment of percutaneous administration devices and the development

of injectable gels and nanofi ber materials. In materials for medical

equipment, we are developing pump oxygenators and vascular

substitutes, among others, with the aim of achieving commercial-

ization by 2020. In sports medicine and techniques for treating

musculoskeletal disorders, we are stepping up efforts to develop

osteoarthritis treatment systems, as well as equipment used in

electrical muscle stimulation and pain relief treatment.

We believe effective corporate governance is essential if a company is to steadily increase its returns to shareholders on their investments over the medium to long term, as well as to fulfi ll its responsibilities to its various stakeholders. To these ends, we have implemented pioneering reforms aimed at enhancing transparency, ensuring fairness and objectivity and accelerating decision making. These include establishing an Advisory Board, reducing the number of directors on Teijin’s Board of Directors, introducing a corporate offi cer system and adopting a compensation system for directors that is linked to our business performance.

Board of Directors and Corporate Offi cers

To expedite decision making and clarify responsibility for frontline

management, we have set the number of directors on Teijin’s Board

of Directors at a maximum of 10. We have also introduced a corpo-

rate offi cer system and have delegated considerable authority and

responsibility to those offi cers. To ensure the appropriate separation

of responsibility for frontline management and monitoring/supervising,

the Board of Directors is directly responsible to the chairman, who

does not participate in internal, operations-level decision making.

Four of the directors on the Board are independent and

appointed from outside the Company. Responsibility for supervising

the internal directors is vested with these independent outside direc-

tors, who also draw on the exceptional insight they bring to the

position to advise on management-related issues, thereby helping

to increase the transparency and accountability of the Board.

Teijin’s Disclosure Policies

1. In disclosing information, Teijin’s basic policy is to disclose the same

content both in and outside Japan simultaneously.

2. In addition to disclosing legally stipulated fi nancial information,

Teijin proactively discloses corporate information from the perspective

of good CSR.

3. Teijin’s general meetings of shareholders are open meetings,

wherein communicating with shareholders is our fi rst priority.

Audit System and Board of Auditors

Teijin’s Board of Auditors comprises fi ve members, three of whom

are independent outside corporate auditors, thereby ensuring trans-

parency and the effective monitoring and auditing of all aspects of

management, including Total Risk Management (TRM). To further

enhance the effi cacy of monitoring and auditing, full-time corporate

auditors not only attend meetings of the CEO Corporate Strategic

Committee and the Management Committee, but also coordinate

meetings of the Group Board of Auditors and may, in addition,

serve concurrently as outside corporate auditors for core Group

companies.

Advisory Board

The Advisory Board is a consultative body that is tasked with advis-

ing on all aspects of management and evaluating the performance

of top executives. The Board, which has two ordinary meetings

each year, comprises six or seven leading experts from outside

the Company—of whom four are Japanese and two or three

non-Japanese—as well as Teijin’s chairman and its president, who

also serves as CEO. The Advisory Board additionally functions as a

nomination and remuneration committee and is charged with delib-

erating the replacement of the CEO and putting forward succes-

sors, proposing candidates for chairman, reviewing systems and

standards governing remuneration for directors and evaluating the

performance of the CEO and representative directors. Compensa-

tion for directors is based on consolidated ROA, calculated using

One focus of the management

reforms we initiated in 1999 was the

creation of a fi rst-class corporate

governance system, a move

designed to bring Teijin in line with

other top global players. Our Advisory Board performed a key role

in this effort. In addition to leading experts from Japan, the Advisory

Board’s original members included John A. Krol, former chairman

of global chemicals giant DuPont, and Sir Ronald Hampel, previ-

ously chairman of ICI and of the Hampel Committee, which estab-

lished certain key principles of corporate governance in the United

Kingdom. Both these gentlemen took a very active role in Advisory

Board discussions. Subsequent Advisory Board members have

also made valuable contributions that have consistently enhanced

both our corporate governance system and our corporate value.

qualitative assessment of each individual director’s execution of

his or her duties.

Compliance and Total Risk Management

We operate on the principal that effective corporate governance

depends on strict compliance and comprehensive risk manage-

ment. Individuals employed by the Teijin Group are required not

only to comply with relevant laws and regulations, but also to act

with good faith as a businessperson and a member of society in

accordance with ethical and social norms. In line with this convic-

tion, we formulated the Corporate Code of Conduct and the Corpo-

rate Standards of Conduct, which set forth consistent guidelines

for the entire Teijin Group, and work diligently to reinforce aware-

ness of compliance issues among management and employees.

As a countermeasure to the risks and uncertainties we face

as a corporate entity, we established our TRM Committee,

which answers directly to the Board of Directors and which is

charged with the comprehensive management of strategic and

operational risk.

CSR Management

The Evolution of Teijin’s CSR Program

The basic goals underlying our approach to CSR are articulated

by the phrases, “Quality of Life,” “In Harmony with Society,” and

“Empowering our People,” which comprise the Teijin Group corpo-

rate philosophy, set forth in 1993. To achieve the goals entailed in

this philosophy, we have formulated a basic policy for CSR and

continue to implement systematic, well-planned initiatives. In April

2005, we inaugurated the role of Chief Social Responsibility Offi cer

and created an internal organization to coordinate all aspects of our

CSR program, including corporate ethics; compliance; risk man-

agement; environment, safety and health (ESH); and efforts to con-

tribute to society. We have also developed specifi c policies, targets

and strategies and continue to promote a wide range of related

activities. Fiscal 2011 was our fi rst year as a member of the United

Nations Global Compact. By joining this program, we have commit-

ted ourselves to abiding by a set of universally accepted principles

related to human rights, labor practices, environmental concerns

and the prevention of corruption.

Advancing CSR Management

We have categorized our various CSR initiatives as addressing

“basic,” “advanced” or “selective” issues. This categorization has

enabled us to clarify the focus of and appropriate course of action

for these initiatives, set medium-term goals and enhance the

effectiveness of our activities.

To date, our CSR management system has centered on the

CSR Planning Offi ce and the ESH Offi ce. Acknowledging the

increasingly important role of risk manage-

ment, effective from fi scal 2012 we have also

established the Risk Management Offi ce.

Environmental Preservation

Teijin’s Sustainable Environment

Declaration

Having long recognized environmental issues

as a crucial management responsibility, in

1992 we formulated the Teijin Group Global

Environmental Charter. Today, we remain

committed to protecting the environment

through ambitious measures. In July 2007, we

published our Sustainable Environment Decla-

ration, which outlines three principal elements:

Environmental preservation, environmental

design and environmental business. In line with

these elements, we continue to implement a

variety of progressive initiatives. In fi scal 2012,

we established the Group Environmental Man-

agement Promotion Subcommittee as the

sixth prong of our Group CSR Committee,

Corporate Social Responsibility

SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT

As of July 2012, the Teijin Group is included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes (criteria for inclusion:

economic, environmental and social performance); the FTSE4Good Index Series, which measures the performance of companies that meet globally recognized CSR standards

(criteria for inclusion: efforts to ensure environmental sustainability, development of positive relationships with

stakeholders and support for universal human rights); and the Ethibel Investment Register (criteria for inclusion: ethical economic policy, environmental policy, internal

social policy and external social policy).

We are committed to creating a working environment that supports personal growth and skill enhancement and which encourages employees to achieve their full potential. In our new medium- to long-term management vision, CHANGE for 2016, we have identifi ed the transformation of our human resources portfolio as a crucial component of our strategy for reinforcing our management founda-tion and achieving growth. Accordingly, we are stepping up efforts to promote diversity in hiring and in maximizing capabilities, enhance early-career efforts to cultivate human resources and ensure effective global placement, all with the aim of fostering a global and highly diverse labor force. To promote diversity in hiring, we are recruiting on a worldwide basis, having set up recruiting offi ces in four locations, namely, Japan, the United States, Europe and Asia. We are also increasing the number of female candidates hired (30% or more of new grad-uates recruited in Japan) and expediting the promotion of female employees to managerial positions. To enhance early-career efforts to cultivate human resources, we are taking swift steps to identify and foster individuals with the potential to become tomorrow’s global frontline leaders, as well as expanding overseas training opportunities and assignments for junior employees and developing and implementing common global systems for job grading and performance evaluation. To ensure effective global placement, we are developing and implementing a global human resources database and promoting cross-border assignments.

Social Responsibility

Creating Bonds of Trust

Individual Teijin Group sites and companies take the initiative in

implementing corporate citizenship initiatives in their own communi-

ties. These efforts are complemented by a Groupwide social contri-

bution program, which was formulated and launched in fi scal 2006.

This program places particular emphasis on three areas—the envi-

ronment, international exchange and social education—and encom-

passes an employee volunteer scheme that includes days off for

volunteer activities and extended leave designed to enable employ-

ees to become, for example, registered bone marrow donors and

volunteer fi refi ghters. In fi scal 2011, we introduced the Volunteer

Support Program, which is intended to assist employees’ efforts

to contribute to society and encourage employee participation in

volunteer activities. Expenses for volunteer activities are covered

in part by donations from concerned employees and directors.

In the wake of the Great East Japan Earthquake, which struck

on March 11, 2011, we donated more than ¥500 million worth

of funds and relief supplies. In January 2012, we joined the

Kesennuma Kizuna (“strong bond”) Project, an initiative led by the

National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology’s

Smart Life Care Consortium that seeks to provide ongoing support

for efforts by inhabitants of Kesennuma, Miyagi Prefecture, to

restore self-reliance. In our capacity as a participant in this project,

we have supplied a variety of items, including wastewater treatment

systems for use at temporary emergency housing and curtains

made with heat-retentive polyester fi bers manufactured by Teijin

Fibers Limited. Looking ahead, we will continue working to provide

meaningful assistance to the communities affected by the disaster.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Operating Environment

Global economic conditions were generally soft in fiscal 2011,

ended March 31, 2012. With the world still reeling from the destruc-

tion wrought by the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11,

2011, only seven months later, in October 2011, Thailand was hit

by massive floods that resulted in global supply chain disruptions.

The impact of the European sovereign debt crisis began to spill

over into the real economy, slowing growth in Europe as well as

overseas. In Japan, economic conditions were also impeded by

such factors as electric power shortages and the unprecedented

strength of the yen and remained harsh throughout the period.

Strategies in Action

Having designated fiscal 2011 as the year in which we would repo-

sition Teijin on a growth trajectory, we focused on manifesting the

positive results of structural reforms, as well as on strengthening

our sales capabilities and R&D platform. We also continued to place

a high priority on securing and enhancing financial soundness and

at the same actively fostered businesses expected to support future

growth, as well as promising projects.

Operating Results

With the aim of guaranteeing timely disclosure and the efficiency of

business performance management, effective from fiscal 2011, all

consolidated subsidiaries of Teijin now close their books on March

31. As a consequence, for this fiscal year only, certain consolidated

subsidiaries and equity method affiliates reported operating results

for a 15-month period (January 1, 2011–March 31, 2012). Results

excluding the impact of this change are provided, where relevant,

for convenience only.

Net Sales ¥815.7 ¥854.4 4.7%¥791.0* –3.0%

Net sales totaled ¥854.4 billion, up 4.7% from fiscal 2010. This

increase was attributable to the positive impact of the standardiza-

tion of accounting periods for all consolidated subsidiaries of Teijin.

However, if this factor is discounted, net sales declined, owing

primarily to a slump in sales in the Films and Plastics segment.

ROA 6.1 % 4.5 %

ROE 9.1 % 4.2 %

Debt-to-equity ratio 0.94 times 0.89 times

Owing to the marked declines in operating income and net income,

return on assets (ROA)—calculated using operating income—and

return on equity (ROE) retreated sharply. The debt-to-equity ratio

improved slightly, reflecting the reduction of interest-bearing debt.

Tasks Ahead

Fiscal 2012 is the first year of our new medium- to long-term

management vision, CHANGE for 2016. Guided by this, we will

implement basic strategies for transforming our four fundamental

portfolios—strategies that reflect effective risk management—and

will promote initiatives aimed at strengthening our sales and devel-

opment capabilities. In all these efforts, we will move swiftly and

with purpose, mindful of our commitment to securing profitable

sustainable growth, a key element of our long-term vision.

of net sales, up 0.3 percentage point. R&D expenses rose 1.1%,

or ¥362 million, to ¥31.8 billion, reflecting ongoing forward-looking

investments in corporate research in key technological areas and

in the cultivation of new businesses.Net Sales

In the period under review, we reported consolidated net sales

of ¥854.4 billion, an increase of 4.7%, or ¥38.7 billion, from fiscal

2010. Sales in our materials businesses accounted for 52% of net

sales, the same as in fiscal 2010, while sales in overseas markets

represented 39% of the total, up 2.0 percentage points.

Discounting the impact of the standardization of accounting

periods for all consolidated subsidiaries of Teijin, consolidated net

sales amounted to ¥791.0 billion, down 3.0%, or ¥24.6 billion, as

the natural disasters disrupted the supply chain and results in the

Films and Plastics segment worsened, a trend precipitated by list-

less global electronics markets. Nonetheless, all other segments

reported moderate sales increases.

Costs and Expenses

Cost of sales rose 7.3%, or ¥42.9 billion, to ¥629.2 billion, a

consequence of costs incurred by subsidiaries that changed their

accounting period and of rising prices for fuel and raw materials. As

a percentage of net sales, cost of sales edged up 1.8 percentage

points, to 73.6%, reflecting the rising raw materials prices and

fuel costs and reduced operating rates in response to production

adjustments in the second half of the period. Selling, general and

administrative (SG&A) expenses rose 6.7%, or ¥10.0 billion, also

reflecting the standardization of accounting periods, as well as an

increase in labor costs. SG&A expenses were equivalent to 18.6%

Results of Operations

Operating Income

Despite favorable growth in operating income in the High-

Performance Fibers, the Pharmaceuticals and Home Health Care

and the Trading and Retail segments, operating income declined

29.9%, or ¥14.5 billion, to ¥34.0 billion, mainly attributable to sup-

ply chain disruptions caused by the natural disasters in Japan and

Thailand, as well as to lackluster conditions in electronics markets

worldwide, which caused a deterioration of results in the Films and

Plastics segment. As a consequence, the operating margin dipped

2.0 percentage points, to 4.0%. Discounting the impact of the stan-

dardization of accounting periods, operating income fell 27.3%, or

¥13.3 billion, to ¥35.3 billion.

Increases in sales volume in the High-Performance Fibers and

the Pharmaceuticals and Home Health Care segments and higher

sales prices had a positive impact of ¥32.0 billion on operating

income, while rising prices for fuel and raw materials, along with

a decline in sales volume in the Films and Plastics segment and

other factors, had a counteracting negative impact of ¥46.5 billion,

resulting in the net decline of ¥14.5 billion.

Effective from fiscal 2011, the Company and its domestic

consolidated subsidiaries adopted a new method of depreciation,

switching from the declining balance method to the straight-line

High-Performance FibersSales in the High-Performance Fibers segment amounted to ¥120.7 billion. Operating income was ¥6.3 billion.

Aramid Fibers

Results were firm in most product categories.

The market for Twaron para-aramid fibers was solid, particularly

for use in automotive-related materials, ballistic-protection products

and fiber optic cables. Although the Great East Japan Earthquake

hindered domestic demand for Technora para-aramid fibers from

some quarters for use in composite materials and civil engineering

applications, overall demand remained steady, supported by over-

seas demand for automotive-related applications. Despite firm

domestic demand for use in protective clothing, Teijinconex meta-

aramid fibers entered an adjustment phase as demand slowed in

Japan for use in filters, a consequence of the strong yen, and in

Europe for use in industrial materials, reflecting the economic slow-

down. In this environment, we continued to push ahead with active

efforts to enhance profitability by reducing costs and cultivating

new applications for all products.

Carbon Fibers and Composites We proceeded with assertive efforts to promote the use of thermoplastic CFRP.

Demand for Tenax carbon fibers was favorable for use in aircraft

and comparatively firm for use in compounds, particularly in Japan.

Despite increasing in the first half, demand for general industrial

applications and for use in sports and leisure equipment softened

overall, owing to such factors as production adjustments by cus-

tomers in Asia. We responded by working actively to cultivate new

markets and customers worldwide, including in emerging econo-

mies. To capitalize on new growth opportunities, we will promote

the development of technologies designed to improve productivity

and product quality, as well as the development of advanced

prepreg for aircraft applications and high-performance carbon

fibers for use in pressure vessels.

We also persevered with preparations for the commercialization

of revolutionary technologies that reduce the time required for

molding thermoplastic CFRP (CFRP made with thermoplastic resin)

components to less than one minute. In December 2011, we

signed an agreement with General Motors Company of the United

States to collaborate in the development of thermoplastic CFRP

components for use in mass-produced GM vehicles, a move that

bodes well for the expanded use of such components. We are also

currently building a pilot plant for the fully integrated production

of thermoplastic CFRP components at our factory in Matsuyama,

Ehime Prefecture, which is slated to begin operations by the middle

of fiscal 2012. In March 2012 we announced the establishment of

the Teijin Composites Application Center in the northeastern United

States, which will focus on cultivating new applications and markets

with the aim of accelerating the development of commercially viable

thermoplastic CRFP components. To facilitate the broad adoption

of CFRP in vehicles, we will continue to collaborate with automak-

ers in Japan and overseas in the development of lighter vehicle

bodies and components, thereby contributing to the reduction

of CO2 emissions and the improvement of fuel efficiency.

These technologies received the Global Automotive Carbon

Composites Technology Innovation Award from world-renowned

market research firm Frost & Sullivan for 2011. In addition, the tech-

nologies were honored with the Overall Innovation Award, as well

as winning the Best Product Innovation category, at the 2011

ICIS Innovation Awards, an event run by International Chemical

method, used by its overseas consolidated subsidiaries. This

change added ¥6.3 billion more to operating income than would

have been the case under the previous method.

Other Income (Expenses)

Other expenses, a net figure, amounted to ¥6.2 billion, up from

¥4.1 billion in fiscal 2010. This increase occurred despite the

absence of business structure improvement expenses and a

significant decline in earthquake-related loss and was attributable

to a ¥3.3 billion actuarial loss resulting from amendments to the

employee retirement benefit plans of certain European subsidiaries.

Other factors included a decline in equity in earnings of affiliates,

as well as a decrease in both gain on sales of investment securities

and gain on sales of property, plant and equipment, plus an

increase in impairment loss.

Net Income

Net income, affected by the declines in operating income and equity

in earnings of affiliates, fell 52.4%, or ¥13.2 billion, to ¥12.0 billion. As

a consequence, ROE retreated sharply to 4.2%, from 9.1% in fiscal

2010. Discounting the impact of the standardization of accounting

periods, net income dropped 45.2%, or ¥11.4 billion, to ¥13.8 billion.

Polyester FibersThe Polyester Fibers segment, which also includes the polyester raw materials and polymerization businesses, generated sales of ¥109.9 billion and operating income of ¥1.9 billion. Efforts to resume operations at three flood-damaged production facilities in Thailand proceeded apace.

Despite flagging demand in the immediate aftermath of the Great

East Japan Earthquake, as well as damage from the severe flood-

ing to production facilities belonging to three Thai subsidiaries—all

of which were forced to suspend operations—the Polyester Fibers

segment remained profitable, bolstered by the positive impact of

structural reforms and a sharp recovery in automobile production

that began in the summer of 2011, as well as by demand associ-

ated with post-quake reconstruction efforts and measures to

promote energy savings. The bulk of production from the flood-

damaged facilities in Thailand was temporarily transferred to

domestic subsidiary Teijin Fibers Limited, among others, to fulfill

our responsibilities as a supplier. Efforts to repair the facilities

proceeded apace and in February 2012 production resumed on

several lines, with the first shipments since the floods going out

before the close of the fiscal year.

In the area of product development, ultrafine polyester

nanofiber Nanofront, which delivers superb slip resistance and

fit, was adopted for use in a line of golf gloves designed for profes-

sional golfers. On another front, to strengthen our presence in

the PRC, which boasts a rapidly expanding consumer market, in

January 2012 we launched that country’s first closed-loop system

for recycling polyester uniforms. In March we signed an agreement

with the China Chemical Fibers Association (CCFA) to establish a

comprehensive alliance that will enhance growth opportunities for

both parties through close collaboration and participation in joint

development projects. Additionally, in April 2012 we announced

plans for the August establishment of Teijin Product Development

China Co., Ltd., a fiber and textile product R&D base, a move

aimed at helping foster the local chemical fibers industry.

Films and PlasticsSales in the Films and Plastics segment totaled ¥215.4 billion. Operating income was ¥3.7 billion.

Plastics The plastics business struggled, owing to sluggish market conditions.

Our mainstay polycarbonate resin business was hampered by

a harsh operating environment for electrical and electronics

equipment manufacturers, its principal customers, stemming from

factors such as slack demand for LCD televisions, the European

financial crisis, the impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake and

the severe flooding in Thailand. October 2011 saw the beginning

of a market slump that drew comparisons with conditions in the

wake of the Lehman Brothers collapse, although demand in

certain sectors began to pick up in early 2012, particularly in the

PRC. Prices for key raw materials continued to climb as ongoing

geopolitical tensions drove up crude oil prices. Accordingly,

despite unclear market prospects for end products, we pressed

ahead with efforts to revise sales prices, as well as to lower costs

and trim inventories.

In the area of processed polycarbonate resin products, operat-

ing conditions waned, reflecting stagnant demand for PURE-ACE

polycarbonate retardation film, used primarily in 3D glasses for

movie theaters, and a sharp decline in sales of transparent electro-

conductive film for resistive touch screens. One bright spot was

the adoption of a newly developed transparent electroconductive

film for capacitive touch screens for use in smartphones and

tablet computers, which bodes well for the future of this product.

Films

Demand for PET film in Asia recovered. In Europe and the United States, structural reforms neared completion.

We have a number of polyester films joint ventures with E.I. du Pont

de Nemours and Company (DuPont) of the United States around the

world. Demand for PET film, robust in fiscal 2010, remained firm in

the first half of fiscal 2011, notably for use as LCD reflective film—one

of the principal applications for this product—and in solar cell back

sheets. However, in the third quarter demand declined worldwide,

owing primarily to deteriorating conditions in electronics markets.

In Japan, we were forced to temporarily suspend production

at our Utsunomiya Factory, in Tochigi Prefecture, and our Ibaraki

Factory, in Ibaraki Prefecture, in the wake of the Great East Japan

Earthquake, which hampered our supply capabilities from April until

late June 2011, by which time both facilities had resumed produc-

tion on all lines. Sales of PET film for use as LCD reflective film

began to soften toward the end of the second quarter and remained

sluggish in the third quarter, owing to production cuts by LCD

manufacturers. Demand for use in solar cell back sheets dropped

sharply, primarily as a result of worsening fiscal problems across

Europe, which prompted the reduction of subsidies to solar cell

manufacturers.

Demand in Indonesia remained comparatively solid. In the PRC,

demand flourished, but a rush by local manufacturers to expand

production capacity upset the supply–demand balance, a situation

that negatively affected our local joint venture’s sales prices. In

the United States and Europe, demand for use in solar cell back

sheets, brisk in fiscal 2010, weakened in the second quarter,

forcing us to take steps—including temporarily suspending

production of certain product lines to make necessary inventory

adjustments—that hindered profitability.

Pharmaceuticals and Home Health CareSales in the Pharmaceuticals and Home Health Care segment amounted to ¥143.0 billion, while operating income was ¥25.9 billion.

Pharmaceuticals Sales of our novel treatment for hyperuricemia and gout expanded.

In the domestic market, sales continued to expand favorably for

Synvisc Dispo, an intra-articular injection-form drug for treating pain

associated with osteoarthritis of the knee launched in December

2010, and Feburic, a novel treatment for hyperuricemia and gout

launched in May 2011. In January 2012, in the domestic market,

we obtained approval to manufacture and sell Bonalon®* Bag for

I.V. Infusion 900 µg, Japan’s first intravenous drip–form treatment

for osteoporosis, which is administered once every four weeks.

The drug was launched in May 2012.

Overseas, in July 2011 we commenced sales of our innovative

hyperuricemia treatment, already sold in North America and Europe,

in the ROK under the name Feburic. This drug is now sold in over

20 countries and territories, including Japan. We also secured

regulatory approval to market the drug in Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Additionally, we signed exclusive distributorship agreements

with Takeda Pharmaceuticals North America, Inc., for marketing

in Mexico and the Caribbean; Algorithm SAL, for marketing in the

Middle East and North Africa; Astellas Pharma Inc., for marketing

in Southeast Asia and India; and the Menarini Group for marketing

in Central and South America, the Commonwealth of Independent

States (CIS) and Oceania. Thanks to these agreements, our

distributorships currently cover 117 countries and territories.

On another note, our novel treatment for hyperuricemia and

gout was recognized with the Prize for Science and Technology

(Development Category) for fiscal 2012, part of the Commendation

for Science and Technology by Japan’s Ministry of Education,

Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. The drug also received

the Pharmaceutical Society of Japan Award for Drug Research

and Development 2012.

In R&D, we commenced clinical testing of GGS-MPA (human

immunoglobulin preparation Venilon) for the treatment of micro-

scopic polyangiitis, a new indication, and NA872ET, a small

sustained-release tablet-form version of expectorant Mucosolvan.

We also filed for approval to manufacture and market GTH-42J,

a new oral jelly form of osteoporosis treatment Bonalon®, and

ITM-014, a cutting-edge treatment for acromegaly.

* Bonalon® is the registered trademark of Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., Whitehouse Station,

NJ, U.S.A.

Home Health Care Rental volume for HOT equipment and CPAP ventilators remained favorable.

In Japan, rental volume for mainstay HOT equipment rose.

Rentals of CPAP ventilators, used to treat sleep apnea syndrome,

also increased favorably, bolstered by SLEEPMATE S9, a high-

performance positive pressure ventilator launched in April 2011

that is both small and light, which has emerged as a major pillar

of our home healthcare business. The markets for other offerings,

including noninvasive positive pressure ventilators (the NIP NASAL

series and AutoSet CS) and SAFHS (Sonic Accelerated Fracture

Healing System), expanded encouragingly.

Overseas, we currently provide home healthcare services in the

United States, Spain and the ROK, bringing the total number of

patients using these services worldwide to approximately 400,000.

Analysis of Assets, Liabilities, Net Assets and Cash Flows

Interest-bearing debt decreased ¥6.4 billion, to ¥261.0 billion. As a

consequence, the debt-to-equity ratio edged up 0.05 point, to 0.89

times. The equity ratio was 38.3%, up 1.0 percentage point.

Our long-term debt ratings remained unchanged from fiscal

2010. Despite only a slight increase in interest expenses paid and

a decline in interest-bearing debt, our interest coverage ratio fell to

10.9 times, from 17.2 times in the previous period, owing to a sub-

stantial decline in cash and cash equivalents provided by operating

activities. The debt payback period rose to 4.9 years, from 3.5

years in the previous period.

Rating A3 AOutlook Stable Stable

Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets

Total assets as of March 31, 2012, amounted to ¥762.1 billion, an

increase of ¥583 million from the end of fiscal 2010. This increase

occurred despite constraints on major capital investment and the

progress of depreciation and amortization and was primarily a con-

sequence of increases in notes and account receivable—trade

and other components of working capital.

Total liabilities, at ¥449.9 billion, were down ¥3.9 billion from

the fiscal 2010 year-end. Interest-bearing debt, which includes

commercial paper, short-term loans payable and long-term loans

payable, declined ¥6.4 billion, to ¥261.0 billion, thanks to the use

of cash generated as a result of operating activities and as a result

of constraints on major capital investment to pay down such debt.

In all three overseas markets, we took steps to ensure the expan-

sion of rental volume and sought to reinforce our earnings base

by improving the efficiency of operations.

Trading and RetailThe Trading and Retail segment yielded sales of ¥224.6 billion, while operating income was ¥6.0 billion. During the period, we continued to actively promote alliances both in Japan and overseas.

Financial Position

Textiles and ApparelActive efforts to foster both production and sales alliances in Japan

and overseas, including capital investment in production bases in the

ASEAN region and equity participation in a leading Japanese apparel

manufacturer, supported brisk sales, particularly of sportswear,

everyday apparel and apparel targeted specifically at the Tokyo

metropolitan area market.

Industrial Textiles and MaterialsShipments of industrial textiles for automotive-related applications

recovered rapidly. Sales of general-purpose products were brisk,

owing to demand associated with post-quake reconstruction

efforts, while sales of tents, REFTEL heat reflecting and insulating

film and other products rose on the strength of demand related

to domestic measures to promote energy savings.

OthersThis segment, which does not qualify as a reportable operating segment, generated sales of ¥40.8 billion and operating income of ¥3.3 billion. Sales in the IT business were hampered by restraints on corporate IT spending, while sales in the e-commerce site management and healthcare solutions businesses were firm.

34 Teijin Limited

Total net assets were ¥312.2 billion, an increase of ¥4.5 billion.

Shareholders’ equity and total valuation and translation adjustments

together represented ¥292.0 billion of the total, up ¥7.8 billion. This

result was attributable to net income of ¥12.0 billion for the period

under review and a decrease in the deduction for foreign currency

translation adjustments, among others.

Cash Flows

Net cash and cash equivalents provided by operating activities in

fiscal 2011 amounted to ¥53.7 billion. Contributing factors included

net income, which offset increases in receivables and inventories

and income taxes paid, as well as an increase in payables,

depreciation and amortization and the amortization of goodwill.

Net cash and cash equivalents used in investing activities

amounted to ¥35.2 billion. This result was primarily a consequence

of outlays for the purchase of property, plant and equipment.

Operating and investing activities in fiscal 2011 thus provided

a net total of ¥18.5 billion.

Net cash and cash equivalents used in financing activities

amounted to ¥14.1 billion. This reflected the issue and redemption

of bonds and commercial paper, the net result of proceeds from

short- and long-term loans payable and the repayment thereof and

the payment of dividends, among others.

After factoring in the impact of exchange rate fluctuations,

operating, investing and financing activities in the period under

review resulted in a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of

¥4.8 billion as of March 31, 2012.

Outlook for Operating Results

Owing to a variety of factors, including pessimism about European

debt resolution and further increases in crude oil prices stemming

from geopolitical risk, prospects for Teijin’s operating environment

remain uncertain. However, economic conditions worldwide are

expected to pick up toward the end of the first half of fiscal 2012,

bolstered by steady growth in emerging economies, a result

of increased consumer spending and the easing of monetary

restrictions, and the emergence of additional demand related

to post-quake reconstruction in Japan.

Fiscal 2012 is the first year of our new medium- to long-term

management vision, CHANGE for 2016. Guided by this, we will

implement basic strategies for transforming our four fundamental

portfolios—strategies that reflect effective risk management—and

will promote initiatives aimed at strengthening our sales and devel-

opment capabilities. In all these efforts, we will move swiftly and

with purpose, mindful of our commitment to securing profitable

sustainable growth, a key element of our long-term vision.

In the current period, efforts in our materials businesses will

focus on responding to a recovery in demand from the automotive

and electronics industries by restoring production and sales to

appropriate levels. We will also endeavor to capitalize on demand

in Japan associated with post-quake reconstruction efforts and

measures to promote energy savings. In our healthcare business,

we will work to boost sales of new drugs and rentals of home

healthcare equipment both in Japan and overseas. In new busi-

nesses, we recently established companies in the ROK to support

the commercialization of two innovative separators for LiBs, the

market for which is expanding rapidly. Production and sales of

the separators, marketed under the LIELSORT brand name, com-

menced in June 2012. Additionally, we will accelerate the expan-

sion of our water treatment business in overseas markets, focusing

on our innovative wastewater treatment system, which has been

adopted for use in a number of countries, including the PRC and

Angola. Another priority will be to step up R&D aimed at facilitating

the early commercialization of nanoparticle silicon ink–based print-

able electronics, which substantially shorten the time required for

the fabrication of semiconductors and thin-film transistors, and of

new healthcare businesses, including materials for regenerative

medicine and tissue repair, which overlap our existing materials

and healthcare business domains.

With operations at the nuclear power plants in Japan now

essentially suspended, projections are for a shortage of electric

power this summer. To minimize the potential impact of this situa-

tion on the operations of the Teijin Group, we will strive to make full

use of in-house generators, as well as to maximize energy savings.

As a consequence of these and other factors, we currently fore-

cast consolidated net sales of ¥840.0 billion, operating income of

¥43.0 billion and net income of ¥22.0 billion for fiscal 2012, repre-

senting increases of 6.2%, 21.8% and 59.5%, respectively, from

fiscal 2011 adjusted results. Our fiscal 2012 forecasts assume

exchange rates of ¥80 to US$1.00 and ¥110 to €1.00 and a

Dubai crude oil price of US$110 per barrel.

Forecast for Financial Position

In fiscal 2012, we will press forward with efforts to first maintain,

and then enhance, financial soundness. At the same time, we

will actively promote promising investments and projects with

the potential to contribute to future growth, in line with our new

medium- to long-term management vision. Our forecasts for fiscal

2012 are for an ROA of 5.5%, ROE of 7.4% and a debt-to-equity

ratio of 0.8 times.

Risk Factors

The Teijin Group recognizes certain risks as having the potential to

affect its operating results and/or financial position. As of the date

of this document, these risks included, but were not limited to,

the risks listed below.

Market-Related Risk

The Teijin Group manufactures and sells products, the sales of

which may be affected by market conditions and competition with

other companies, as well as by market price fluctuations arising

thereof. Businesses involving commoditized materials—notably

polyester fibers, polyester films and polycarbonate resin—are

particularly vulnerable to fluctuations in shipments, sales prices and

procurement costs for raw materials and fuel related to market con-

ditions and competition with other companies. Because the cost of

raw materials and fuel accounts for a major portion of production

costs in these businesses, fluctuations in the price of crude oil may

have a significant impact on the Group’s income performance.

The majority of products in the Teijin Group’s materials busi-

nesses are intermediates. Owing to inventory adjustments at each

stage of production and sales, the rate of expansion or contraction

of end-user demand for such products may exceed that of the real

economy.

The Teijin Group’s Healthcare segment is vulnerable to

changes in drug reimbursement prices under Japan’s National

Health Insurance (NHI) scheme, as well as to increasingly intense

competition, both of which may have a negative impact on sales

prices.

Fluctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates also have

the potential to affect the Teijin Group’s operating results and/or

financial position.

Product Quality Risk

Teijin Pharma Limited, the principal subsidiary in the Teijin Group’s

Healthcare segment, has established its own product reliability

assurance function in the form of a compliance division. This

division, which functions independently of other Group businesses,

is charged with quality assurance in all aspects of our healthcare

businesses. The Group maintains insurance coverage against

product liability.

Nonetheless, as the pharmaceuticals business involves prod-

ucts that may affect the lives of users, quality issues have the

potential to negatively affect, among others, the Group’s operating

results, financial position and public reputation.

R&D-Related Risk in the Pharmaceuticals Business

R&D in the pharmaceuticals business is characterized by significant

investments of funds and time. Pharmaceuticals discovery research

has a high incidence of failure. In the initial stages, there is a high

risk that researchers will fail to discover a promising drug. Even if a

promising drug is discovered, clinical trials may prove it not to be as

effective as anticipated, or to have unexpected adverse side effects,

thereby forcing the abandonment of plans to apply for approval.

There is also a risk that a new drug candidate may not receive reg-

ulatory approval as a result of the examination process that follows

application, or that approval may be rescinded based on the

outcome of research conducted subsequent to launch.

Risks Related to Overseas Operations

The Teijin Group has operations in the PRC, Southeast Asia

(including Thailand and Singapore), Europe (including Germany

and the Netherlands) and the United States. These operations are

vulnerable to the impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange and

interest rates. Our operations in the PRC and Southeast Asia, in

particular, may also be affected by such factors as the enforcement

of new—or unexpected changes to existing—laws, regulations or

tax systems that exert an adverse impact on the Group; economic

fluctuations; and social unrest triggered by, among others, changes

of government or acts of terror or war. The manifestation of such

risks has the potential to adversely affect the Group’s operating

results and/or financial position.

Risks Related to Accidents and Disasters

The Teijin Group has prepared common disaster prevention

guidelines for use by all Group companies and is an active propo-

nent of efforts to prevent and/or alleviate the impact of disasters

through disaster prevention diagnostics, earthquake response

measures, fire prevention and other advance prevention strategies,

disaster prevention education and training and post-disaster

impact mitigation measures.

Nonetheless, in the event of a major natural disaster or unfore-

seen accident that results in damage to the Group’s production

facilities or significantly impedes the Group’s supply chain, such

developments may have a negative impact on the Group’s

operating results and/or financial position.

Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsTEIJIN LIMITED

Note 1. Basis of presenting consolidated financial statements

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Teijin

Limited (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with

the provisions set forth in the Financial Instruments and Exchange

Law (the “Law”) and the related accounting regulations, and in

conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan

(“Japanese GAAP”), which are different in certain respects as to

application and disclosure requirements of International Financial

Reporting Standards.

Prior to the year ended March 31, 2009, the accounts of

overseas subsidiaries were based on their accounting records

maintained in conformity with generally accepted accounting princi-

ples prevailing in the respective countries of domicile. From the

fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, the Company adopted “Practical

Solution on Unification of Accounting Policies Applied to Foreign

Subsidiaries for Consolidated Financial Statement” (Practical

Issues Task Force (“PITF”) No. 18, issued by the Accounting

Standards Board of Japan (“ASBJ”) on May 17, 2006). In principle,

the Company unified accounting standards for foreign subsidiaries

and makes necessary adjustments upon consolidation. There

were no material effects as a result of the adoption of PITF No. 18

on the consolidated financial statements for the years ended March

31, 2011 and 2012.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have

been reformatted and translated into English with some expanded

descriptions from the consolidated financial statements of the

Company prepared in accordance with Japanese GAAP and

filed with the appropriate Local Finance Bureau of the Ministry of

Finance as required by the Law. Certain supplementary information

included in the statutory Japanese-language consolidated financial

statements, but not required for fair presentation, is not presented

in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The translation of the Japanese yen amounts into U.S. dollar

amounts is included solely for the convenience of readers outside

Japan, using the prevailing exchange rate at March 31, 2012, which

was ¥82.19 to U.S.$1.00. The convenience translations should not

be construed as representations that the Japanese yen amounts

have been, could have been, or could in the future be, converted

into U.S. dollars at this or any other rate of exchange.

Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the

Company and 76 significant subsidiaries for the years ended March

31, 2011 and 2012. Investments in 68 (69 in 2011) unconsolidated

subsidiaries and affiliates are, with minor exceptions, stated at

cost, adjusted for equity in undistributed earnings and losses

since acquisition.

Companies which are 40% or more owned and substantially

controlled by the Company are considered subsidiaries for inclusion

in the consolidation. Equity method accounting is applied to uncon-

solidated subsidiaries and affiliates which are substantially con-

trolled or of which operating and financial policies are significantly

influenced by the Company.

In the elimination of investments in subsidiaries, the assets and

liabilities of the subsidiaries, including the portion attributable to

minority shareholders, are evaluated using the fair value at the time

the Company acquired control of the respective subsidiaries.

Goodwill is usually amortized using the straight-line method

over the estimated useful life from five to 20 years.

Prior to the year ended March 31, 2012, the accounts of 38

consolidated subsidiaries were included on the basis of their fiscal

years ending December 31 (plus January 31 for one and February

28 for two other subsidiaries). These subsidiaries did not prepare,

for consolidation purposes, statements for the period that corre-

sponds to the fiscal year of the Company. For these 41 consolidated

subsidiaries, when there were significant transactions that occurred

between their respective fiscal year ends and the Company’s year

end, necessary adjustments were made to reflect the transactions

in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Effective from the year ended March 31, 2012, 25 consolidated

subsidiaries changed their fiscal year end from December 31 (plus

one from January 31 and two from the last day of February) to

March 31. As a result, the consolidated financial statements for the

year ended March 31, 2012, include the results for a 15-month

period (January 1, 2011, to March 31, 2012) for 25 subsidiaries, a

14-month period (February 1, 2011, to March 31, 2012) for one

subsidiary and a 13-month period (March 1, 2011, to March 31,

2012) for two subsidiaries. However, 13 consolidated subsidiaries

did not change their fiscal year end from December 31. These 13

subsidiaries prepared, for consolidation purposes, statements for

the period that corresponds to the fiscal year of the Company.

As a result, the consolidated financial statements for the year ended

March 31, 2012, also include the results for a 15-month period for

these 13 subsidiaries, from January 1, 2011, to March 31, 2012.

Statements of cash flows

In preparing the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash on

hand, readily available deposits and short-term highly liquid invest-

ments with maturities not exceeding three months at the time of

purchase are considered to be cash and cash equivalents.

44 Teijin Limited

Allowance for doubtful accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts is provided in amounts

sufficient to cover possible losses on collection. It is determined

by adding the individually estimated uncollectible amounts of

certain accounts to an amount calculated using the provision

rate based on past experience.

Securities

Under the Japanese accounting standard for financial instruments,

all companies are required to classify securities as (a) securities

held for trading purposes (“trading securities”), (b) debt securities

intended to be held to maturity (“held-to-maturity debt securities”),

(c) equity securities issued by subsidiaries and affiliated companies,

and (d) all other securities that are not classified in any of the above

categories (“available-for-sale securities”).

The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Companies”)

do not hold trading securities. Held-to-maturity debt securities are

stated at amortized cost.

Equity securities issued by subsidiaries and affiliated compa-

nies, which are not consolidated or accounted for using the equity

method, are stated at moving-average cost. Available-for-sale

securities with available fair market values are stated at fair market

value. Unrealized gains and losses on these securities are reported,

net of applicable income taxes, as a separate component of net

assets. Realized gains and losses on sales of such securities are

computed using moving-average cost.

Debt securities with no available fair market value are stated

at amortized cost, net of the amount considered not collectible.

Other securities with no available fair market value are stated at

moving-average cost.

If the market value of held-to-maturity debt securities, equity

securities issued by unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliated com-

panies and available-for-sale securities decline significantly, such

securities are stated at fair market value and the difference between

fair market value and the carrying amount is recognized as a loss in

the period of the decline. If the fair market value of equity securities

issued by unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliated companies not

accounted for using the equity method is not readily available, the

securities will be written down to net asset value with a correspond-

ing charge in the consolidated statements of income in the event

net asset value declines significantly. In these cases, the fair market

value or the net asset value will be the carrying amount of the

securities at the beginning of the following year.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or net realizable

value.

Property, plant and equipment

Effective from the year ended March 31, 2012, the Company and

its domestic consolidated subsidiaries (the “domestic companies”)

changed their method of depreciation from the declining balance

method to the straight-line method to depreciate tangible fixed

assets. Previously, the Company and its domestic companies

mainly used the declining balance method and generally used

the straight line method for overseas consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company’s facilities have been operating in a stable man-

ner since the year ended March 31, 2010, owing to the implemen-

tation of structural reforms undertaken to optimize the Company’s

global production system. Having largely completed these struc-

tural reforms, and with the aim of repositioning itself on a growth

trajectory, effective from the year ended March 31, 2012, the

Company lifted a moratorium on major capital investment, thus

enabling the domestic companies to make promising new

investments.

It was as a consequence of this change in the capital invest-

ment situation that management reviewed its method of deprecia-

tion. As a result of this review, after investigating which approach

would best demonstrate the feasibility of stable operating condi-

tions at facilities now and in the future, and allow for the appropri-

ate periodic allocation of costs, management resolved to switch

to the straight-line method of depreciation for the domestic

companies.

As a result of this change, operating income and income

before income taxes increased by ¥6,320 million ($76,895 thou-

sand) and ¥6,483 million ($78,878 thousand), respectively, com-

pared to what would have been recorded under the previous

method.

Intangible assets

Goodwill, patents, trademarks and other intangible assets are

amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful

life of the asset.

Software for internal use is amortized using the straight-line

method over the estimated useful life, i.e. five to 10 years.

Research and development expenses

The Company charges research and development expenses to

income as incurred.

Retirement benefits

(1) EmployeesThe Company has an unfunded lump-sum benefit plan and a

funded contributory pension plan, generally covering all employees.

Certain consolidated subsidiaries have unfunded lump-sum

benefit plans and non-contributory pension plans. Most foreign

subsidiaries do not have pension plans.

Under the terms of the lump-sum benefit plans, eligible

employees are entitled under most circumstances, upon manda-

tory retirement at age 60 or earlier voluntary termination, to a

lump-sum payment based on their compensation at the time

of severance and years of service.

The liabilities and expenses for severance and retirement

benefits are determined based on the amounts actuarially calcu-

Page 47: Growth through CConstructivehangeAnnual Report 2012 Year ended March 31, 2012 ... 2011 0.8 Advanced fibers and composites Healthcare Stable-profit businesses Fiscal ¥ Net sales trillion

45Teijin Limited

lated using certain assumptions. The Companies provided for

employees’ severance and retirement benefits at March 31, 2011

and 2012, based on the estimated amounts of projected benefit

obligation and the fair value of the pension assets at those dates.

Prior service costs and actuarial gains and losses are recog-

nized in expenses using the straight-line method over mainly 12

years, which is within the average of the estimated remaining ser-

vice years of the employees, commencing with the current and

the following period, respectively.

Effective from the year ended March 31, 2012, certain consol-

idated subsidiaries transferred a portion of their defined benefit

plan to a defined contribution pension plan or multiemployer

contributory funded pension plan.

(2) Directors and statutory auditorsPrior to the year ended March 31, 2012, the Company and its

domestic companies provided for lump-sum retirement payments

for directors and statutory auditors in amounts that would be

required if they retired at the balance sheet dates.

At the general shareholders’ meeting held on June 22, 2011,

the Company resolved to abolish the lump-sum retirement pay-

ments for directors and auditors of the Company and instead to

make a lump-sum payment to each eligible director and auditor

for duties performed up to the date of abolition, upon retirement.

As a result, the remaining amount reserved for retirement allow-

ance for directors and auditors, ¥1,102 million ($13,408 thou-

sand), is included in other non-current liabilities at March 31,

2012.

Liabilities arising from the application of the equity

method

Liabilities arising from the application of the equity method have

been provided with respect to losses that may arise from the

Company’s portion of the capital deficits of unconsolidated sub-

sidiaries and affiliates that are accounted for by the equity method,

after giving consideration to the Company’s investments in, and

guarantees for, such companies.

Derivatives and hedge accounting

The Companies state derivative financial instruments at fair value

and recognize changes in the fair value as gain or loss unless the

derivative financial instruments are used for hedging purposes.

If derivative financial instruments are used as hedges and

meet certain hedging criteria, the Company and its domestic

companies defer recognition of the gain or loss resulting from a

change in fair value of the derivative financial instrument until the

related gain or loss on the hedged item is recognized.

Also, if interest rate swap contracts are used as hedges

and meet certain hedging criteria, the net amount to be paid or

received under the interest rate swap contract is added to or

deducted from the interest on the assets or liabilities for which the

swap contract was executed.

(Change in accounting procedures)

Prior to the year ended March 31, 2010, the domestic companies

applied a method of accounting for foreign currency forward contract

transactions entered into to hedge transactions denominated in foreign

currencies over the term of the contract based on a predetermined

rate.

With the implementation of a new backbone system, effective

from the year ended March 31, 2011, the domestic companies

changed their method of accounting for such foreign currency for-

ward contract transactions and began applying a principle-based

method, in line with the accounting standard for financial instruments.

The aim of this change was to achieve a more accurate presentation

of foreign currency assets, liabilities and derivatives positions. This

change had no material impact on the consolidated financial

statements for the year ended March 31, 2011.

Income taxes

The provision for income taxes is based on income for financial state-

ment purposes. Income taxes comprise corporation tax, enterprise tax,

and prefectural and municipal inhabitants taxes. The assets and liabili-

ties approach is used to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities

for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences

between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial

reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

The Company and its wholly owned domestic consolidated

subsidiaries have adopted the consolidated tax return filing under

Japanese tax regulations for the year ended March 31, 2006 and

thereafter.

Translation of foreign currency

Cash, receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies

are translated into Japanese yen at year-end exchange rates. All

revenues and expenses in foreign currencies are translated at the

exchange rates prevailing when such transactions are made. The

resulting exchange loss or gain is charged or credited to income.

The balance sheet accounts of the foreign consolidated subsidiar-

ies and foreign investments accounted for by the equity method are

translated at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date,

except for capital accounts and assets and liabilities due to/from the

Company, which are translated at historical rates. Accounts in the

consolidated statements of income are translated at the average

rates of exchange for the year. Differences arising from translations

are presented as “Foreign currency translation adjustments” in the

accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Companies

report foreign currency translation adjustments in net assets.

Net income per share

Computations of net income per share of common stock are based

on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during each

period. Diluted net income per share is calculated based on the

assumption that all dilutive convertible debentures and stock

Page 48: Growth through CConstructivehangeAnnual Report 2012 Year ended March 31, 2012 ... 2011 0.8 Advanced fibers and composites Healthcare Stable-profit businesses Fiscal ¥ Net sales trillion

46 Teijin Limited

warrants were converted or exercised at the beginning of the year

or at the time of issue.

Net income per share for the years ended March 31, 2011 and

2012, is calculated based on the following factors:

Year ended March 31, 2011

( a ) Net income: ¥25,182 million

(b ) Amount not attributable to

common shareholders: ¥ — million

( c ) Bonuses to directors and

statutory auditors included in (b): ¥ — million

(d ) Net income allocated to common stock: ¥25,182 million

( e ) Average number of shares

outstanding during the period: 984,033 thousand shares

( f ) Increase in number of shares: 1,269 thousand shares

(g ) Increase in number of subscription

rights to shares included in (f): 1,269 thousand shares

( h ) Summary of outstanding potential shares

excluded from the computation of diluted

EPS, if calculated for the period, since such

potential stocks do not have a dilutive effect:

Year ended March 31, 2012

( a ) Net income: ¥11,979 million ($145,748 thousand)

(b ) Amount not attributable to

(Change in accounting procedures)

Accounting standards for investments applied to equity

method affiliates

Effective from the year ended March 31, 2011, the Company

applied “Accounting Standard for Equity Method of Accounting for

Investments” (ASBJ Statement No. 16, issued on March 10, 2008)

and “Practical Solution on Unification of Accounting Policies Applied

to Associates Accounted for Using the Equity Method” (ASBJ PITF

Statement No. 24, issued on March 10, 2008). In principle, the

Companies make adjustments as necessary for their consolidated

financial statements. As a result, operating income and income

before income taxes each decreased by ¥420 million, compared to

what would have been recorded under the previous method.

Accounting standards for asset retirement obligations

Effective from the year ended March 31, 2011, the domestic compa-

nies applied “Accounting Standard for Asset Retirement Obligations”

(ASBJ Statement No. 18, issued on March 31, 2008) and “Guidance

on Accounting Standard for Asset Retirement Obligations” (ASBJ

Guidance No. 21, issued on March 31, 2008). As a result, operating

income decreased by ¥34 million, and income before income taxes

decreased by ¥563 million, compared to what would have been

recorded under the previous method.

Accounting standards for business combinations

Effective from the year ended March 31, 2011, the domestic compa-

nies applied “Accounting Standard for Business Combinations”

(ASBJ Statement No. 21, issued December 26, 2008), “Accounting

Standard for Consolidated Financial Statements” (ASBJ Statement

No. 22, issued on December 26, 2008), “Partial Amendments to

Accounting Standard for Research and Development Costs” (ASBJ

Statement No. 23, issued on December 26, 2008), “Revised

Accounting Standard for Business Divestitures” (ASBJ Statement

No. 7, issued on December 26, 2008), “Revised Accounting

Standard for Equity Method of Accounting for Investments” (ASBJ

Statement No. 16, issued on December 26, 2008), and “Revised

Guidance on Accounting Standard for Business Combinations and

Accounting Standard for Business Divestitures” (ASBJ Guidance

No. 10, issued on December 26, 2008).

Reclassifications and restatement

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified and restated to

conform with the current year presentation. These reclassifications

and restatements have no impact on previously reported results of

operations or retained earnings.

(Additional information)

Accounting standards for presentation of comprehensive

income

Effective from the year ended March 31, 2011, the Company applied

“Accounting Standard for Presentation of Comprehensive Income”

(ASBJ Statement No. 25, issued on June 30, 2010).

Accounting standards for accounting changes and error

correction

Effective from the year ended March 31, 2012, the Company and its

domestic companies adopted “Accounting Standard for Accounting

Changes and Error Corrections” (ASBJ Statement No. 24, issued on

December 4, 2009) and the “Guidance on Accounting Standard for

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (ASBJ Guidance No.

24, issued on December 4, 2009). This Standard and its accompa-

nying Guidance are applied to accounting changes and corrections

of prior period errors made on or after April 1, 2011.

Note 5. Fair value of financial instruments

(1) Qualitative information on financial instruments

(a) Policies for using financial instruments The Companies’ fund management policy is to put money

into short-term deposit only and to raise money through

loans payable, commercial paper and corporate bonds.

The Companies principally enter into derivatives transac-

tions in connection with managing their market risk and not

for speculation or trading purposes.

(b) Details of financial instruments used and the exposure to risk and how it arises

Notes and accounts receivable—trade are exposed to

customers’ credit risk. To manage that risk, the Companies

check the balance of the accounts and confirm the collec-

tion of money at the due date. The Companies also review

the credit risk of their main customers every six months

in accordance with the Company’s credit management

regulations.

Securities are exposed to market price fluctuation risk;

however, the Companies only hold shares in firms with

which they have business relations and these are not

for speculation.

The due dates of notes and accounts payable—trade

are mainly within one year.

Commercial paper and short-term loans receivable are

used mainly for operating purposes, and funding through

corporate bonds and long-term loans payable is mainly for

capital investment. Debts with a floating rate are exposed to

interest rate fluctuation risk, but interest on some long-term

loans payable is converted to a fixed rate through interest

rate swap transactions.

The Companies use derivative transactions of, for example,

forward currency exchange and currency swaps that are

used to hedge the risk of fluctuation in foreign currency

exchange rates with respect to monetary receivables and

payables denominated in foreign currencies resulting from

import and export transactions. With respect to other

derivative transactions, interest rate swap transactions are

used to hedge the risk of fluctuation in interest rates and

commodity swap transactions are used to hedge the risk of

fluctuation in the commodity price of fuel. The Companies

evaluate hedge effectiveness by comparing the cumulative

changes in cash flows from, or the changes in fair value

of, hedged items with the corresponding changes in the

hedging derivative instruments.

The Companies report periodically to the Chief Financial

Officer and the Accounting and Treasury Office on the actual

results of derivative transactions. The actual results of deriv-

ative transactions for which hedge accounting cannot be

applied are reported to the Board of Directors after the

end of each year. Furthermore, the Companies enter into

contracts with highly rated international institutions as

counterparts to these transactions to minimize credit risk

exposure.

(c) Supplementary information on fair values The fair value of financial instruments is calculated based on

quoted market price or, in cases where there is no market

price, by making a reasonable estimation. Because the

preconditions applied include a floating element, estimations

of fair value may vary. The contracted amounts, as pre-

sented in Note 7, “Derivative transactions,” do not reflect

market risk.

(2) Fair values of financial instruments

The following tables summarize fair value and book value of the financial instruments, and the difference between them, as of March 31,

2011 and 2012. Items for which fair value is difficult to estimate are not included in the following tables.

† Derivative transactions are presented net of receivables and liabilities, and figures within parenthesis indicate net liabilities.

(Note 1) The method of estimating the fair value for securities and derivative transactions is as follows:

Assets(1) Cash and time deposits, (2) Receivables, (3) Short-term loans receivable

These terms are all short-term, and the fair value is nearly equal to book value, so the book value is used as fair value.

(4) Investment securities

The fair value of shares is the market price. See Note 6, “Investment securities” for information on investment securities

categorized by holding purpose.

(5) Long-term loans receivable

The fair value of long-term loans receivable, distinguished by the term, is discounted by the interest rate that is based on that

of government bonds, to which a spread that reflects credit risk has been added.

Moreover, the fair value of long-term loans receivable that are doubtful is estimated in the same way or is provided in an

amount sufficient to cover possible losses on collection.

Liabilities(1) Payables, (2) Short-term loans payable, (3) Commercial paper

These terms are all short-term and the fair value is nearly equal to book value, so the book value is used as fair value.

(4) Bonds

The fair value of corporate bonds is calculated based on market price. In cases where there is no market price, fair value is

calculated by using the discounted cash flow based on the sum of the principal and total interest of the remaining period and

credit risk.

(5) Long-term loans payable

The fair value of long-term loans payable is the sum of the principal and total interest discounted by the rate that is applied

if a new loan is made. Certain long-term loans payable with floating rates are tied to interest rate swap transactions and

subject to special treatment.

Derivative transactions See Note 7, “Derivative transactions.”

for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2012.

(4) The estimated amount of all retirement benefits to be paid at

future retirement dates is allocated equally to each service year

using the estimated number of total service years. Prior service

costs and actuarial gains and losses are recognized in

expenses using the straight-line method over mainly 12 years,

which is within the average of the estimated remaining service

years of the employees, commencing with the current and the

following period, respectively.

* This percentage shows the Companies’ portion of the total estimated annual contribution to the plans, which is not necessarily equal to the actual percentage of the

Companies’ portion against the funded status in the above table.

Note 11. Net assets

Under Japanese laws and regulations, the entire amount of the

issue price of shares is required to be accounted for as capital

stock, although a company may, by resolution of its Board of

Directors, account for an amount not exceeding one-half of the

issue price of the new shares as capital surplus.

Under the Japanese Corporate Law, in cases where dividend

distribution of surplus is made, the smaller of an amount equal to

10% of the dividend and excess, if any, of 25% of capital stock

over the total of additional paid-in capital and legal earnings reserve

must be set aside as additional paid-in capital or legal earnings

reserve. Additional paid-in capital is included in capital surplus and

legal earnings reserve is included in retained earnings in the

accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Legal earnings reserve and additional paid-in capital may be

used to eliminate or reduce a deficit or may be capitalized by a res-

olution of the shareholders’ meeting. All additional paid-in capital

and all legal earnings reserve may be transferred to other capital

surplus and retained earnings, respectively, which are potentially

available for dividends. The maximum amount that the Company

can distribute as dividends is calculated based on the unconsoli-

dated financial statements of the Company in accordance with

Japanese laws and regulations.

At the Board of Directors’ meeting held on May 9, 2012, appropriations of retained earnings for year-end dividends applicable to the

year ended March 31, 2012, were duly approved as follows:

The Companies set asset groups by the business unit on which

the profit or loss is continually controlled. Idle assets, which are not

being used for business, are separately treated.

Among the assets used for business purposes, certain produc-

tion facilities were devalued to the recoverable values by ¥2,475

million ($30,113 thousand) as “Impairment loss.” Recoverable

value was measured by the usage value, which was calculated

by discounting future cash flows with discount rates of 10%–20%.

The book values of idle assets with no utilization plan were

written down to recoverable values by ¥139 million ($1,691 thou-

sand). Recoverable value was measured by the net salvage value,

based on real-estate appraisals or similar methods. If it is deter-

mined that an idle asset cannot be sold or diverted to another use,

the asset is valued at zero.

Implement Measures for Reconstruction Following the Great East

Japan Earthquake” (2011, Act No. 117), promulgated in Japan on

December 2, 2011, resulted in a reduction in the corporate tax rate

and the imposition of a special reconstruction corporate tax for the

fiscal years beginning in the period from April 1, 2012, to March 31,

2015. This changed the effective statutory tax rate from 40.4% to

37.8% for those temporary differences expected to be eliminated

in the fiscal years beginning on or after April 1, 2012, and to 35.4%

for those temporary differences expected to be eliminated in the

years beginning on or after April 1, 2015. As a result of this change,

deferred tax assets, income taxes—deferred, net unrealized gains

on securities and deferred gains (losses) on hedges increased by

¥496 million ($6,035 thousand), ¥146 million ($1,776 thousand),

¥538 million ($6,546 thousand) and ¥104 million ($1,265 thousand),

respectively, in the consolidated financial statements for the year

Note 19. Segment information

(1) Reportable segment information

The Company’s reportable operating segments are compo-

nents of an entity for which separate financial information is

available and evaluated regularly by its chief decision-making

authority in determining the allocation of management

resources and in assessing performance. Up to and including

the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, the Company divided

its operations into business groups based on type of product,

nature of business and services provided. The business groups

formulate product and service strategies in a comprehensive

manner in Japan and overseas. Accordingly, the Company

divided its operations into five reportable operating segments

on the same basis as it uses internally: High-Performance

Fibers; Polyester Fibers; Films and Plastics; Pharmaceuticals

and Home Health Care; and Trading and Retail.

Each segment is as follows:

High-Performance Fibers: — Production and sales of aramid fibers and carbon fibers and

composites for industrial applications, and artificial leather

Polyester Fibers: — Production and sales of polyester fibers and raw material for

apparel and industrial applications

Films and Plastics: — Production and sales of films and resins for various industrial

applications

Pharmaceuticals and Home Health Care: — Production and sales of prescription and non-prescription drugs

and production, sales and rental of home healthcare devices

Trading and Retail: — Trading and retail of polyester filaments and other fibers

(2) Accounting methods used to calculate segment sales, segment income, segment assets and other items for reportable segments

Accounts for reportable segments are for the most part calculated in line with generally accepted standards for the preparation of

consolidated financial statements. Segment income for reportable segments is based on operating income. Amounts for intersegment

transactions or transfers are calculated based on market prices or on prices determined using the cost-plus method.

(3) Segment sales, segment income, segment assets and other items for reportable segments

3. As described in Note 2, Teijin and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries changed their method of depreciating fixed assets acquired on or after April 1, 2011. As a result of

this change, segment income was ¥777 million ($9,454 thousand) higher in High-Performance Fibers, ¥606 million ($7,373 thousand) higher in Polyester Fibers, ¥1,228 mil-

lion ($14,941 thousand) higher in Films and Plastics, ¥2,632 million ($32,023 thousand) higher in Pharmaceuticals and Home Health Care, ¥364 million ($4,429 thousand)

higher in Trading and Retail and Others, combined, and ¥713 million ($8,675 thousand) lower in Elimination and corporate, compared to what would have been recorded

under the previous method.

(3) To maximize the Teijin Group’s comprehensive capabilities and

expedite the implementation of growth strategies, the Company

has formulated essential organizational reforms under its hold-

ing company system. Up to and including the year ended

March 31, 2012, the Company had divided its operations into

five reportable operating segments: High-Performance Fibers;

Polyester Fibers; Films and Plastics; Pharmaceuticals and

Home Health Care; and Trading and Retail. Effective from April

1, 2012, these segments were reorganized into four reportable

operating segments. The new segment names are as follows:

Advanced Fibers and Composites; Electronics Materials and

Performance Polymer Products; Healthcare; and Trading

and Retail.

The High-Performance Fibers segment has been renamed

the Advanced Fibers and Composites segment, and now also

includes polyester fibers for industrial applications, which was

previously accounted for in the Polyester Fibers segment. The

Films and Plastics segment has been renamed Electronics

Materials and Performance Polymer Products, while the

Pharmaceuticals and Home Health Care segment is now

Healthcare. The apparel component of the Polyester Fibers

segment has been incorporated into the Trading and Retail

segment. Others (other businesses) retained the same

name, but now also includes the polyester raw materials

and polymerization businesses, previously part of the

Polyester Fibers segment.

Each segment is now as follows:

Advanced Fibers and Composites: — Production and sales of aramid fibers, carbon

fibers, polyester fibers and composites for industrial

applications

Electronics Materials and Performance Polymer Products:

— Production and sales of films and resins for various

industrial applications

Healthcare: — Production and sales of prescription and non-

prescription drugs and production, sales and rental

of home healthcare devices

Trading and Retail: — Trading and retail of polyester filaments, other fibers

and polymer products

Segment information for the year ended March 31, 2012, restated to conform with the new segmentation, is as follows:

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Teijin Limited:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Teijin Limited and its consolidated subsidiaries, which comprise

the consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2011 and 2012, and the consolidated statements of income, statements of comprehensive

income, statements of changes in net assets and statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and a summary of significant

accounting polices and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial StatementsManagement is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with

accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable

the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s ResponsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in

accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and

plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 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 our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the

consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant

to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are

appropriate in the circumstances, while the objective of the financial statement audit is not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on

the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of 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 is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

OpinionIn our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Teijin Limited and

its consolidated subsidiaries at March 31, 2011 and 2012, and their financial performance and cash flows for the years then ended in

accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan.

Emphasis of MatterWithout qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. From the year ended March 31, 2012,

the Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries changed their method of depreciation from the declining balance method to the

straight-line method to depreciate tangible fixed assets. Previously, the Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries mainly used

the declining balance method.

Convenience TranslationThe U.S. dollar amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect to the year ended March 31, 2012, are

presented solely for convenience. Our audit also included the translation of yen amounts into U.S. dollar amounts and, in our opinion,

such translation has been made on the basis described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.

In fiscal 2011, Teijin announced a new medium- to long-term management vision, CHANGE for 2016. To achieve the targets set forth

in this vision, Teijin is implementing major constructive change. In recent years, the Company classified its core global operations into

eight business areas with an emphasis on high-performance materials and healthcare. Effective from fiscal 2012, Teijin will seek to

provide solutions to customers and markets, further enhancing the quality of life of people everywhere, by concentrating on three

key domains: Green chemistry, healthcare and overlapping domains. At the same time, Teijin will work to ensure both sustainable

growth and profitability, primarily through its promising growth businesses, notably advanced fibers and composites and healthcare.
