LECIP HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2011 AND 2010
1.
BASIS OF PRESENTING CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
provisions set forth in the Japanese Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and its 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.
Under Japanese GAAP, a consolidated statement of comprehensive income is required from the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 and has been presented herein. Accordingly, accumulated other
comprehensive income is presented in the consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated
statement of changes in equity. Information with respect to other comprehensive income for the
year ended March 31, 2010 is disclosed in Note 15. In addition, “net income before minority
interests” is disclosed in the consolidated statement of income from the year ended March 31, 2011.
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, certain reclassifications and rearrangements
have been made to the consolidated financial statements issued domestically in order to present
them in a form which is more familiar to readers outside Japan. In addition, certain
reclassifications have been made in the 2010 financial statements to conform to the classifications
used in 2011.
The consolidated financial statements are stated in Japanese yen, the currency of the country in
which LECIP HOLDINGS CORPORATION (the “Company”) is incorporated and operates. The
translations of Japanese yen amounts into U.S. dollar amounts are included solely for the
convenience of readers outside Japan and have been made at the rate of ¥ 83 to $ 1, the
approximate rate of exchange at March 31, 2011. Such translations should not be construed as
representations that the Japanese yen amounts could be converted into U.S. dollars at that or any
other rate.
2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2011 include the
accounts of the Company and its 5 significant (3 in 2010) subsidiaries (together, the “Group”).
Under the control or influence concept, those companies in which the Company, directly or
indirectly, is able to exercise control over operations are fully consolidated.
Investments in remaining non-consolidated subsidiaries are stated at cost. If the equity
method of accounting had been applied to the investments in these companies, the effect on the
accompanying consolidated financial statements would not be material.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
All material unrealized profit included in assets resulting from transactions within the Group is
eliminated.
b. Unification of Accounting Policies Applied to Foreign Subsidiaries for the Consolidated
Financial Statements — In May 2006, the Accounting Standards Board of Japan (the
“ASBJ”) issued ASBJ Practical Issues Task Force (PITF) No.18, “Practical Solution on
Unification of Accounting Policies Applied to Foreign Subsidiaries for the Consolidated
8
Financial Statements.” PITF No.18 prescribes: (1) the accounting policies and procedures
applied to a parent company and its subsidiaries for similar transactions and events under
similar circumstances should in principle be unified for the presentation of the consolidated
financial statements, (2) financial statements prepared by foreign subsidiaries in accordance
with either International Financial Reporting Standards or the generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America tentatively may be used for the consolidation
process, (3) however, the following items should be adjusted in the consolidation process so
that net income is accounted for in accordance with Japanese GAAP unless they are not
material: 1) amortization of goodwill; 2) scheduled amortization of actuarial gain or loss of
pensions that has been directly recorded in the equity; 3) expensing capitalized development
costs of R&D; 4) cancellation of the fair value model of accounting for property, plant, and
equipment and investment properties and incorporation of the cost model of accounting; 5)
recording the prior years’ effects of changes in accounting policies in the income statement
where retrospective adjustments to financial statements have been incorporated; and 6)
exclusion of minority interests from net income, if contained.
c. Cash Equivalents—Cash equivalents are short-term investments that are readily convertible
into cash and that are exposed to insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash equivalents
include time deposits which mature within three months from the date of acquisition.
d. Inventories— Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined by the average method for
finished products and work in process, by the weighted average cost for merchandise and raw
materials, and by the last purchase price method for supplies, or net selling value.
e. Investment Securities—All investment securities are classified and accounted for, depending
on management's intent, as available-for-sale securities, which are not classified as either
trading securities or held-to-maturity securities, are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains
and losses, net of applicable taxes, reported as a separate component of equity.
Non-marketable available-for-sale securities are stated at cost determined by the movingaverage method. For other than temporary declines in fair value, investment securities are
reduced to net realizable value by a charge to income.
f.
Property, Plant and Equipment—Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment of the Company and its consolidated domestic
subsidiary is computed substantially by the declining-balance method based on the estimated
useful lives of the assets, while the straight-line method is applied to buildings acquired after
April 1, 1998 and lease assets of the Company and its consolidated domestic subsidiary, and all
property, plant and equipment of consolidated foreign subsidiaries. The range of useful lives
is principally from 3 to 47 years for buildings and structures, and from 4 to 12 years for
machinery and equipment. The useful lives for lease assets are the terms of the respective
leases.
g. Long-lived assets―The Group reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be
recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or
asset group exceeds the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the
continued use and eventual disposition of the asset or asset group. The impairment loss
would be measured at the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its
recoverable amount, which is the higher of the discounted cash flows from the continued use
and eventual disposition of the asset or the net selling price at disposition.
h. Other assets―Software for internal use is amortized over 5 years by the straight-line method.

i.
Retirement and Pension Plans—The Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiary have
defined contribution pension plans for employees and unfunded retirement benefit plans for
part-time employees.
For part-time employees, the Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiary have defined
benefit pension plans and account for the liability for retirement benefits based on the amount
that would be required if all the part-time employees are retired at each balance sheet date.
j.
Asset Retirement Obligations―In March 2008, the ASBJ published the accounting standard
for asset retirement obligations, ASBJ Statement No.18 “Accounting Standard for Asset
Retirement Obligations” and ASBJ Guidance No.21 “Guidance on Accounting Standard for
Asset Retirement Obligations.” Under this accounting standard, an asset retirement
obligation is defined as a legal obligation imposed either by law or contract that results from
the acquisition, construction, development and the normal operation of a tangible fixed asset
and is associated with the retirement of such tangible fixed asset. The asset retirement
obligation is recognized as the sum of the discounted cash flows required for the future asset
retirement and is recorded in the period in which the obligation is incurred if a reasonable
estimate can be made. If a reasonable estimate of the asset retirement obligation cannot be
made in the period the asset retirement obligation is incurred, the liability should be recognized
when a reasonable estimate of asset retirement obligation can be made. Upon initial
recognition of a liability for an asset retirement obligation, an asset retirement cost is
capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related fixed asset by the amount of the
liability. The asset retirement cost is subsequently allocated to expense through depreciation
over the remaining useful life of the asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present
value each period. Any subsequent revisions to the timing or the amount of the original
estimate of undiscounted cash flows are reflected as an increase or a decrease in the carrying
amount of the liability and the capitalized amount of the related asset retirement cost. This
standard was effective for fiscal years beginning on or after April 1, 2010.
The Company applied this accounting standard effective April 1, 2010. The effect of this
change was to decrease operating income by ¥ 477 thousand ($ 6 thousand) and income before
income taxes and minority interests by ¥ 2,702 thousand ($ 33 thousand).
k. Research and Development Costs—Research and development costs are charged to income as
incurred.
l.
Leases— In March 2007, the ASBJ issued ASBJ Statement No.13, “Accounting Standard for
Lease Transactions,” which revised the previous accounting standard for lease transactions
issued in June 1993. The revised accounting standard for lease transactions was effective for
fiscal years beginning on or after April 1, 2008.
Under the previous accounting standard, finance leases that were deemed to transfer ownership
of the leased property to the lessee were capitalized. However, other finance leases were
permitted to be accounted for as operating lease transactions if certain “as if capitalized”
information was disclosed in the note to the lessee’s financial statements. The revised
accounting standard requires that all finance lease transactions be capitalized to recognize lease
assets and lease obligations in the balance sheet.
The Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiary applied the revised accounting standard
effective April 1, 2008. In addition, the Company accounted for leases which existed at the
transition date and do not transfer ownership of the leased property to the lessee as operating
lease transactions as perrmitted under the revised accounting standard.
All other leases are accounted for as operating leases.
10
m. Bonuses to directors and corporate auditors―Bonuses to directors and corporate auditors are
accrued in the year to which such bonuses are attributable.
n. Construction Contracts—In December 2007, the ASBJ issued ASBJ Statement No. 15,
“Accounting Standard for Construction Contracts,” and ASBJ Guidance No. 18, “Guidance on
Accounting Standard for Construction Contracts.” Under the previous Japanese GAAP,
either the completed-contract method or the percentage-of-completion method was permitted
to account for construction contracts. Under this new accounting standard, the construction
revenue and construction costs should be recognized by the percentage-of-completion method,
if the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably. When total construction
revenue, total construction costs and the stage of completion of the contract at the balance
sheet date can be reliably measured, the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated
reliably. If the outcome of a construction contract cannot be reliably estimated, the
completed-contract method should be applied. When it is probable that the total construction
costs will exceed total construction revenue, an estimated loss on the contract should be
immediately recognized by providing for a loss on construction contracts. This standard is
applicable to construction contracts and software development contracts and was effective for
fiscal years beginning on or after April 1, 2009. The Company applied the accounting
standard effective April 1, 2009 for its software sales contracts.
o. Income Taxes—The provision for income taxes is computed based on the pretax income
included in the consolidated statements of income. The asset and liability approach is used to
recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of
temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.
Deferred taxes are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws to the temporary
differences.
p. Foreign Currency Transactions—All short-term and long-term monetary receivables and
payables denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Japanese yen at the exchange
rates at the balance sheet date. The foreign exchange gains and losses from translation are
recognized in the income statement to the extent that they are not hedged by forward exchange
contracts.
q. Foreign Currency Financial Statements—The balance sheet accounts of the consolidated
foreign subsidiaries are translated into Japanese yen at the current exchange rate as of the
balance sheet date except for equity, which is translated at the historical rate.
Differences arising from such translation were shown as “Foreign currency translation
adjustments” under accumulated other comprehensive income in a separate component of
equity.
Revenue and expense accounts of consolidated foreign subsidiaries are translated into yen at
the average exchange rate.
r. Derivatives and Hedging Activities—The Group uses derivative financial instruments to
manage its exposures to fluctuations in foreign exchange. Foreign exchange forward
contracts are utilized by the Group to reduce foreign currency exchange risks. The Group
does not enter into derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
Derivative financial instruments and foreign currency transactions are classified and accounted
for as follows: a) all derivatives are recognized as either assets or liabilities and measured at
fair value, and gains or losses on derivative transactions are recognized in the income
statement and b) for derivatives used for hedging purposes, if derivatives qualify for hedge
accounting because of the high correlation and effectiveness between the hedging instruments
and the hedged items, gains or losses on derivatives are deferred until maturity of the hedged
transactions.
11
The foreign currency forward contracts employed to hedge foreign exchange exposures for
export sales are measured at fair value and the unrealized gains and losses are recognized in
income.
Trade receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the
contracted rates if the forward contracts qualify for hedge accounting.
s. Per Share Information—Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income
available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding for the period, retroactively adjusted for stock splits.
Diluted net income per share is not disclosed since the Company has no dilutive securities.
Cash dividends per share presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of income are
dividends applicable to the respective years including dividends to be paid after the end of the
year.
t.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections―In December 2009, ASBJ issued ASBJ
Statement No. 24 “Accounting Standard for Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” and
ASBJ Guidance No. 24 “Guidance on Accounting Standard for Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections.” Accounting treatments under this standard and guidance are as follows:
(1) Changes in Accounting Policies - When a new accounting policy is applied with revision
of accounting standards, the new policy is applied retrospectively unless the revised
accounting standards include specific transitional provisions. When the revised accounting
standards include specific transitional provisions, an entity shall comply with the specific
transitional provisions. (2) Changes in Presentations - When the presentation of financial
statements is changed, prior period financial statements are reclassified in accordance with the
new presentation. (3) Changes in Accounting Estimates - A change in an accounting
estimate is accounted for in the period of the change if the change affects that period only, and
is accounted for prospectively if the change affects both the period of the change and future
periods. (4) Corrections of Prior Period Errors - When an error in prior period financial
statements is discovered, those statements are restated. This accounting standard and the
guidance are applicable to accounting changes and corrections of prior period errors which are
made from the beginning of the fiscal year that begins on or after April 1, 2011.

EQUITY
Japanese companies are subject to the Companies Act of Japan (the “Companies Act”). The
significant provisions in the Companies Act that affect financial and accounting matters are
summarized below:
(a) Dividends
Under the Companies Act, companies can pay dividends at any time during the fiscal year
in addition to the year-end dividend upon resolution at the shareholders meeting. For
companies meeting certain criteria such as; (1) having a Board of Directors, (2) having
independent auditors, (3) having a Board of Corporate Auditors, and (4) the term of service
of the directors is prescribed as one year rather than two years of normal term by its articles
of incorporation, the Board of Directors may declare dividends (except for dividends in
kind) at any time during the fiscal year if the company has prescribed so in its articles of
incorporation. However, the Company cannot do so because it does not meet all of the
above criteria. Semiannual interim dividends may also be paid once a year upon
resolution by the Board of Directors if the articles of incorporation of the company so
stipulate. The Company qualifies for this provision. The Companies Act provides
16
certain limitations on the amounts available for dividends or the purchase of treasury stock.
The limitation is defined as the amount available for distribution to the shareholders, but the
amount of net assets after dividends must be maintained at no less than ¥ 3 million.
(b) Increases / decreases and transfer of common stock, reserve and surplus
The Companies Act requires that an amount equal to 10% of dividends must be
appropriated as a legal reserve (a component of retained earnings) or as additional paid-in
capital (a component of capital surplus) depending on the equity account charged upon the
payment of such dividends until the total aggregate amount of legal reserve and additional
paid-in capital equals 25% of the common stock. Under the Companies Act, the total
amount of additional paid-in capital and legal reserve may be reversed without limitation.
The Companies Act also provides that common stock, legal reserve, additional paid-in
capital, other capital surplus and retained earnings can be transferred among the accounts
under certain conditions upon resolution of the shareholders.
(c) Treasury stock and treasury stock acquisition rights
The Companies Act also provides for companies to purchase treasury stock and dispose of
such treasury stock by resolution of the Board of Directors. The amount of treasury stock
purchased cannot exceed the amount available for distribution to the shareholders which is
determined by a specific formula. Under the Companies Act, stock acquisition rights are
presented as a separate component of equity. The Companies Act also provides that
companies can purchase both treasury stock acquisition rights and treasury stock. Such
treasury stock acquisition rights are presented as a separate component of equity or
deducted directly from stock acquisition rights.
10.
INCOME TAXES
The Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiary are subject to Japanese national and local
income taxes which, in the aggregate, resulted in normal effective statutory tax rate of
approximately 39.8% for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
The tax effects of significant temporary differences and tax loss carry-forwards which resulted in

LEASES
The Group leases certain machinery, computers and software.
Pro forma information of leased property whose lease inception was before March 31, 2008
ASBJ Statement No.13, “Accounting Standard for Lease Transactions” requires that all finance
lease transactions be capitalized to recognize lease assets and lease obligations in the balance
sheet. However, the ASBJ Statement No. 13 permits leases without ownership transfer of the
leased property to the lessee and whose lease inception was before March 31, 2008 to continue to
be accounted for as operating lease transactions if certain “as if capitalized” information is
disclosed in the note to the financial statements. The Company applied ASBJ Statement No. 13
effective April 1, 2008 and accounted for such leases as operating lease transactions. Pro forma

13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RELATED DISCLOSURES
On March 10, 2008, the ASBJ revised ASBJ Statement No. 10, “Accounting Standard for
Financial Instruments,” and issued ASBJ Guidance No.19, “Guidance on Accounting Standard
for Financial Instruments and Related Disclosures.” This accounting standard and the guidance
was applicable to financial instruments and related disclosures at the end of the fiscal years
ending on or after March 31, 2010. The Group applied the revised accounting standard and the
new guidance effective March 31, 2010.
(1) Group policy for financial instruments
The Group uses financial instruments, mainly long-term debt including bank loans, based on its
management and financing plan. Short-term bank borrowings are used to fund its ongoing
operations. Derivatives are used, not for speculative purposes, but to manage exposure to
financial risks as described in (2) below.
(2) Nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments
Receivables such as trade notes and trade accounts are exposed to customer credit risk.
Although receivables in foreign currencies are exposed to the market risk of fluctuation in
foreign currency exchange rates, the position is hedged by using forward foreign currency
contracts. Investment securities, mainly equity instruments of customers and suppliers of the
Group, are exposed to the risk of market price fluctuations.
Payment terms of payables, such as trade notes and trade accounts, are five months or less.
Although payables in foreign currencies are exposed to the market risk of fluctuation in foreign
currency exchange rates, those risks are hedged by using forward foreign currency contracts.
Maturities of bank loans and long-term debt are six years or less after the balance sheet date.
Derivatives include forward foreign currency contracts, which are used to manage exposure to
market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates of receivables and payables.
Please see Note 14 for more detail about derivatives.
(3) Risk management for financial instruments
Credit Risk Management
Credit risk is the risk of economic loss arising from a counterparty’s failure to repay or service
debt according to the contractual terms. The Company and its subsidiaries manage their credit
risks from receivables on the basis of internal guidelines, which include monitoring of payment
terms and balances of customers to identify the default risk of customers at an early stage.
Please see Note 14 for the detail about derivatives.
Market risk management
Foreign currency trade receivables and payables are exposed to market risk resulting from
21
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
forward foreign currency contracts.
Such foreign exchange risk is hedged by
Investment securities are managed by monitoring the market values and financial position of
issuers on a regular basis.
Liquidity risk management
Liquidity risk comprises the risk that the Group cannot meet its contractual obligations in full on
maturity dates. The Group manages its liquidity risk by holding adequate volumes of liquid
assets, along with adequate financial planning by the planning and accounting department.
(4) Fair values of financial instruments
Fair values of financial instruments are based on a quoted price in active markets. If a quoted
price is not available, other rational valuation techniques are used instead.

DERIVATIVES
The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce foreign currency exchange risk
related to exports and imports. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for trading
or speculative purposes, and applies hedge accounting for all derivatives.
The Company holds foreign exchange forward contracts associated with exports and imports, only up
to the estimated amounts of sales to and purchases from overseas customers and suppliers.
Although foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps are subject to market risk, the
counterparties to these derivatives are limited to major domestic financial institutions and the
Company does not anticipate any losses arising from market risk.
The Company has internal policies for derivative transactions. Under these internal policies, based on
the requests from the department related to exports and imports, derivative transactions are carried out
by the planning and accounting department of the Company. The planning and accounting
department reports to the managers in charge of the operation periodically.
Since no derivatives contracts were outstanding at March 31, 2011 and 2010, quantitative information
of derivatives were not disclosed.

SEGMENT INFORMATION
For the year ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
In March 2008, the ASBJ revised ASBJ Statement No. 17 “Accounting Standard for Segment
Information Disclosures” and issued ASBJ Guidance No.20 “Guidance on Accounting Standard
for Segment Information Disclosures.” Under the standard and guidance, an entity is required
to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable segments. Reportable
segments are operating segments or aggregations of operating segments that meet specified
criteria. Operating segments are components of an entity about which separate financial
information is available and such information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating
decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Generally,
segment information is required to be reported on the same basis as is used internally for
evaluating operating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to operating
segments. This accounting standard and the guidance are applicable to segment information
disclosures for the fiscal years beginning on or after April 1, 2010.
The segment information for the year ended March31, 2010 under the revised accounting
standard is also disclosed hereunder as required.
1. Description of reportable segments
The Group’s reportable segments are those for which separate financial information is available
and regular evaluation by the Company’s management is being performed in order to decide
how resources are allocated among the Group. Therefore, the Group consists of three
segments; Transport Equipment, Sign and Display and Industrial Equipment. Transport
Equipment segment provides system equipments for buses and trains and lighting equipments
for vehicles. Sign and Display segment manufactures and sells neon transformers, lighting
effect units for outside display, cold cathode lumps and power supply units for LED.
Industrial Equipment segment consists of manufacturing terminal readers, power backup units,
rechargers for battery-driven forklift, battery charger and board implementation.
2. Methods of measurement for the amounts of sales, profit (loss), assets and other items for
each reportable segment
The accounting policies of each reportable segment are consistent to those disclosed in Note 2,
“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”

LECIP HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2013
1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
provisions set forth in the Japanese Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and its related
accounting regulations and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan
(“Japanese GAAP”), which are different in certain respects as to the application and disclosure
requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards.
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, certain reclassifications and rearrangements
have been made to the consolidated financial statements issued domestically in order to present
them in a form which is more familiar to readers outside Japan. In addition, certain
reclassifications have been made in the 2012 consolidated financial statements to conform to the
classifications used in 2013.
The consolidated financial statements are stated in Japanese yen, the currency of the country in
which LECIP HOLDINGS CORPORATION (the “Company”) is incorporated and operates. The
translations of Japanese yen amounts into U.S. dollar amounts are included solely for the
convenience of readers outside Japan and have been made at the rate of ¥94.05 to $1, the
approximate rate of exchange at March 31, 2013. Such translations should not be construed as
representations that the Japanese yen amounts could be converted into U.S. dollars at that or any
other rate.
2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2013, include the
accounts of the Company and its seven (seven in 2012) significant subsidiaries (together, the
“Group”).
Under the control or influence concept, those companies in which the Company, directly or
indirectly, is able to exercise control over operations are fully consolidated.
Investments in remaining nonconsolidated subsidiaries are stated at cost. If the equity method
of accounting had been applied to the investments in these companies, the effect on the
accompanying consolidated financial statements would not be material.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
All material unrealized profit included in assets resulting from transactions within the Group is
also eliminated.
LECIP (SINGAPORE) PTE LTD is newly included in the scope of consolidation as it was
established during the current fiscal year. LECIP U.S.A., INC. is excluded from the scope of
consolidation, but the statement of income is consolidated, as it stopped business activities,
and the effect of this company on the consolidated financial statements would not be material.
b. Unification of Accounting Policies Applied to Foreign Subsidiaries for the Consolidated
Financial Statements — In May 2006, the Accounting Standards Board of Japan (the
“ASBJ”) issued ASBJ Practical Issues Task Force (PITF) No. 18, “Practical Solution on
Unification of Accounting Policies Applied to Foreign Subsidiaries for the Consolidated
Financial Statements.” PITF No. 18 prescribes that the accounting policies and procedures
9
applied to a parent company and its subsidiaries for similar transactions and events under
similar circumstances should in principle be unified for the presentation of the consolidated
financial statements. However financial statements prepared by foreign subsidiaries in
accordance with either International Financial Reporting Standards or the generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America tentatively may be used for the
consolidation process, except for the following items which should be adjusted in the
consolidation process so that net income is accounted for in accordance with Japanese GAAP,
unless they are not material: (a) amortization of goodwill; (b) scheduled amortization of
actuarial gain or loss of pensions that has been directly recorded in the equity; (c) expensing
capitalized development costs of research and development (R&D); (d) cancellation of the fair
value model of accounting for property, plant, and equipment and investment properties and
incorporation of the cost model of accounting; and (e) exclusion of minority interests from net
income, if contained in net income.
c. Cash Equivalents—Cash equivalents are short-term investments that are readily convertible
into cash and that are exposed to insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash equivalents
include time deposits, which mature within three months from the date of acquisition.
d. Inventories— Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, mainly determined by the annualaverage method for finished products and work in process, the moving-average cost for
merchandise and raw materials, and the last purchase price method for supplies, or net selling
value.
e. Investment Securities—All investment securities are classified and accounted for, depending
on management's intent, as available-for-sale securities, which are not classified as either
trading securities or held-to-maturity securities, and are reported at fair value, with unrealized
gains and losses, net of applicable taxes, reported as a separate component of equity.
Nonmarketable available-for-sale securities are stated at cost determined by the movingaverage method. For other-than-temporary declines in fair value, investment securities are
reduced to net realizable value by a charge to income.
f.
Property, Plant and Equipment—Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment of the Company and its consolidated domestic
subsidiaries is computed substantially by the declining-balance method based on the estimated
useful lives of the assets, while the straight-line method is applied to buildings acquired after
April 1, 1998, and lease assets of the Company and its consolidated domestic subsidiaries, and
all property, plant and equipment of consolidated foreign subsidiaries. The range of useful
lives is principally from 3 to 47 years for buildings and structures, from 4 to 12 years for
machinery and equipment, and from 2 to 20 for furniture and fixtures. The useful lives for
lease assets are the terms of the respective leases.
g. Long-Lived Assets―The Group reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be
recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or asset
group exceeds the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the
continued use and eventual disposition of the asset or asset group. The impairment loss
would be measured at the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its
recoverable amount, which is the higher of the discounted cash flows from the continued use
and eventual disposition of the asset or the net selling price at disposition.
h. Other assets―Software for internal use is amortized over five years by the straight-line
method. And software for sales is amortized over three years, which is the expected sales
period, by straight-line method.
10
i.
Retirement and Pension Plans—The Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries
have defined contribution pension plans for employees.
For part-time employees, the Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries have the
severance lump-sum payment plan and account for the liability for retirement benefits based on
the amount that would be required if all the part-time employees are retired at each balance
sheet date.
Furthermore, additional retirement benefits are paid in some cases.
j.
Asset Retirement Obligations―In March 2008, the ASBJ published ASBJ Statement No. 18,
“Accounting Standard for Asset Retirement Obligations” and ASBJ Guidance No. 21,
“Guidance on Accounting Standard for Asset Retirement Obligations.” Under this accounting
standard, an asset retirement obligation is defined as a legal obligation imposed either by law
or contract that results from the acquisition, construction, development, and the normal
operation of a tangible fixed asset and is associated with the retirement of such tangible fixed
asset. The asset retirement obligation is recognized as the sum of the discounted cash flows
required for the future asset retirement and is recorded in the period in which the obligation is
incurred if a reasonable estimate can be made. If a reasonable estimate of the asset retirement
obligation cannot be made in the period the asset retirement obligation is incurred, the liability
should be recognized when a reasonable estimate of the asset retirement obligation can be
made. Upon initial recognition of a liability for an asset retirement obligation, an asset
retirement cost is capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related fixed asset by the
amount of the liability. The asset retirement cost is subsequently allocated to expense
through depreciation over the remaining useful life of the asset. Over time, the liability is
accreted to its present value each period. Any subsequent revisions to the timing or the
amount of the original estimate of undiscounted cash flows are reflected as an adjustment to
the carrying amount of the liability and the capitalized amount of the related asset retirement
cost.
k. Research and Development Costs—R&D costs are charged to income as incurred.
l.
Leases—In March 2007, the ASBJ issued ASBJ Statement No. 13, “Accounting Standard for
Lease Transactions,” which revised the previous accounting standard for lease transactions.
The revised accounting standard for lease transactions was effective for fiscal years beginning
on or after April 1, 2008.
(As lessee) Under the previous accounting standard, finance leases that were deemed to
transfer ownership of the leased property to the lessee were capitalized. However, other
finance leases were permitted to be accounted for as operating lease transactions if certain “as
if capitalized” information was disclosed in the note to the lessee’s financial statements. The
revised accounting standard requires that all finance lease transactions be capitalized by
recognizing lease assets and lease obligations in the balance sheet.
(As Lessor) Under the previous accounting standard, finance leases that were deemed to
transfer ownership of the leased property to the lessee were treated as sales. However, other
finance leases were permitted to be accounted for as operating lease transactions if certain "as
if sold" information was disclosed in the note to the lessor's financial statements. The revised
accounting standard requires that all finance leases that are deemed to transfer ownership of
the leased property to the lessee be recognized as lease receivables, and that all finance leases
that are not deemed to transfer ownership of the leased property to the lessee be recognized as
investments in lease.
11
The Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries applied the revised accounting
standard effective April 1, 2008. In addition, the Company accounted for leases which
existed at the transition date and do not transfer ownership of the leased property to the lessee
as operating lease transactions as permitted under the revised accounting standard.
All other leases are accounted for as operating leases.
m. Bonuses to Directors and Audit & Supervisory Board Members—Bonuses to directors and
Audit & Supervisory Board Members are accrued at the end of the year to which such bonuses
are attributable.
n. Construction Contracts—In December 2007, the ASBJ issued ASBJ Statement No. 15,
“Accounting Standard for Construction Contracts,” and ASBJ Guidance No. 18, “Guidance on
Accounting Standard for Construction Contracts.” Under this accounting standard,
construction revenue and construction costs should be recognized by the percentage-ofcompletion method, if the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably.
When total construction revenue, total construction costs and the stage of completion of the
contract at the balance sheet date can be reliably measured, the outcome of a construction
contract is deemed to be estimated reliably. If the outcome of a construction contract cannot
be reliably estimated, the completed-contract method should be applied. When it is probable
that the total construction costs will exceed total construction revenue, an estimated loss on the
contract should be immediately recognized by providing for a loss on construction contracts.
o. Income Taxes—The provision for income taxes is computed based on the pretax income
included in the consolidated statement of income. The asset and liability approach is used to
recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of
temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.
Deferred taxes are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws to the temporary
differences.
The Group files a tax return under the consolidated corporate-tax system, which allows
companies to base tax payments on the combined profits or losses of the parent company and
its wholly owned domestic subsidiaries.
p. Foreign Currency Transactions—All short-term and long-term monetary receivables and
payables denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Japanese yen at the exchange
rates at the balance sheet date. The foreign exchange gains and losses from translation are
recognized in the consolidated statement of income to the extent that they are not hedged by
forward exchange contracts.
q. Foreign Currency Financial Statements—The balance sheet accounts of the consolidated
foreign subsidiaries are translated into Japanese yen at the current exchange rate as of the
balance sheet date except for equity, which is translated at the historical rate.
Differences arising from such translation are shown as “Foreign currency translation
adjustments” under accumulated other comprehensive income in a separate component of
equity.
Revenue and expense accounts of consolidated foreign subsidiaries are translated into yen at
the average exchange rate.
r. Derivatives and Hedging Activities—The Group uses derivative financial instruments to
manage its exposures to fluctuations in foreign exchange. Foreign exchange forward
contracts are utilized by the Group to reduce foreign currency exchange risks. The Group
does not enter into derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
12
Derivative financial instruments are classified and accounted for as follows: (1) all derivatives
are recognized as either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value, and gains or losses on
derivative transactions are recognized in the consolidated statement of income and (2) for
derivatives used for hedging purposes, if such derivatives qualify for hedge accounting because
of the high correlation and effectiveness between the hedging instruments and the hedged
items, gains or losses on derivatives are deferred until maturity of the hedged transactions.
The foreign currency forward contracts are utilized to hedge foreign currency exposures for
export sales and procurement from overseas suppliers. Trade receivables and payables
denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the contracted rates if the forward contracts
qualify for hedge accounting.
s. Per Share Information—Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income
available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding for the period, retroactively adjusted for stock splits.
Diluted net income per share is not presented as the Company has no dilutive securities.
Cash dividends per share presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of income are
dividends applicable to the respective years, including dividends to be paid after the end of the
year.
t.
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—In December 2009, the ASBJ issued ASBJ
Statement No. 24, "Accounting Standard for Accounting Changes and Error Corrections" and
ASBJ Guidance No. 24, "Guidance on Accounting Standard for Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections." Accounting treatments under this standard and guidance are as follows: (1)
Changes in Accounting Policies—When a new accounting policy is applied following revision
of an accounting standard, the new policy is applied retrospectively unless the revised
accounting standard includes specific transitional provisions, in which case the entity shall
comply with the specific transitional provisions. (2) Changes in Presentation—When the
presentation of financial statements is changed, prior-period financial statements are
reclassified in accordance with the new presentation. (3) Changes in Accounting Estimates—
A change in an accounting estimate is accounted for in the period of the change if the change
affects that period only, and is accounted for prospectively if the change affects both the period
of the change and future periods. (4) Corrections of Prior-Period Errors—When an error in
prior-period financial statements is discovered, those statements are restated.
u. Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plan Trust—Pursuant to the resolution by the
meeting of the Board of Directors held on February 4, 2013, the Company has introduced an
employee incentive plan ,”Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) Trust” and “Stock
Granting ESOP Trust” (together the “Trust”), for the purpose of improving corporate value for
the medium- and long-term perspective.
Acquisition and sales of the Company’s shares by the Trust are accounted for under the
assumption that the Company and the Trust are the same entity. Accordingly, assets,
including the Company’s shares owned by the Trust, and liabilities, and profits and loss of the
Trust are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statement of
income, and consolidated statement of changes in equity.
At March 31, 2013, ESOP Trust and Stock Granting ESOP Trust held 238 thousand and 306
thousand shares of the Company, respectively.

EQUITY
Japanese companies are subject to the Companies Act of Japan (the “Companies Act”). The
significant provisions in the Companies Act that affect financial and accounting matters are
summarized below:
a
Dividends
Under the Companies Act, companies can pay dividends at any time during the fiscal year
in addition to the year-end dividend upon resolution at the shareholders meeting. For
companies meeting certain criteria such as; (1) having a Board of Directors, (2) having
independent auditors, (3) having an Audit & Supervisory Board, and (4) the term of service
of the directors is prescribed as one year rather than two years of normal term by its articles
of incorporation, the Board of Directors may declare dividends (except for dividends in
kind) at any time during the fiscal year if the company has prescribed so in its articles of
incorporation. However, the Company cannot do so because it does not meet all of the
above criteria. Semiannual interim dividends may also be paid once a year upon resolution
by the Board of Directors if the articles of incorporation of the company so stipulate. The
Company qualifies for this provision. The Companies Act provides certain limitations on
the amounts available for dividends or the purchase of treasury stock. The limitation is
defined as the amount available for distribution to the shareholders, but the amount of net
assets after dividends must be maintained at no less than ¥ 3 million.
b
Increases / Decreases and Transfer of Common Stock, Reserve and Surplus
The Companies Act requires that an amount equal to 10% of dividends must be
appropriated as a legal reserve (a component of retained earnings) or as additional paid-in
capital (a component of capital surplus), depending on the equity account charged upon the
payment of such dividends, until the aggregate amount of legal reserve and additional paidin capital equals 25% of the common stock. Under the Companies Act, the total amount
of additional paid-in capital and legal reserve may be reversed without limitation. The
17
Companies Act also provides that common stock, legal reserve, additional paid-in capital,
other capital surplus and retained earnings can be transferred among the accounts under
certain conditions upon resolution of the shareholders.
c
9.
Treasury Stock and Treasury Stock Acquisition Rights
The Companies Act also provides for companies to purchase treasury stock and dispose of
such treasury stock by resolution of the Board of Directors. The amount of treasury stock
purchased cannot exceed the amount available for distribution to the shareholders which is
determined by a specific formula. Under the Companies Act, stock acquisition rights are
presented as a separate component of equity. The Companies Act also provides that
companies can purchase both treasury stock acquisition rights and treasury stock. Such
treasury stock acquisition rights are presented as a separate component of equity or deducted
directly from stock acquisition rights.
INCOME TAXES
The Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries are subject to Japanese national and local
income taxes which, in the aggregate, resulted in a normal effective statutory tax rate of
approximately 37.2% and 39.8% for the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The tax effects of significant temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards which resulted in

11.
LEASES
The Group leases certain machinery, computers, and software.
Pro forma information of leased property whose lease inception was before March 31, 2008
ASBJ Statement No. 13, “Accounting Standard for Lease Transactions” requires that all finance
lease transactions be capitalized to recognize lease assets and lease obligations in the balance sheet.
However, ASBJ Statement No. 13 permits leases without ownership transfer of the leased property
to the lessee and whose lease inception was before March 31, 2008, to continue to be accounted
for as operating lease transactions if certain “as if capitalized” information is disclosed in the note
to the consolidated financial statements. The Company applied ASBJ Statement No. 13 effective
April 1, 2008 and accounted for such leases as operating lease transactions. Pro forma

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RELATED DISCLOSURES
(1) Group Policy for Financial Instruments
The Group uses financial instruments, mainly long-term debt including bank loans, based on its
management and financing plan. Short-term bank borrowings are used to fund its ongoing
operations. Derivatives are used, not for speculative purposes, but to manage exposure to
financial risks as described in (2) below.
(2) Nature and Extent of Risks Arising from Financial Instruments
Receivables such as trade notes and trade accounts are exposed to customer credit risk.
Although receivables in foreign currencies are exposed to the market risk of fluctuation in
foreign currency exchange rates, the position is hedged by using forward foreign currency
contracts. Investment securities, mainly equity instruments of customers and suppliers of the
Group, are exposed to the risk of market price fluctuations.
Payment terms of payables, such as trade notes and trade accounts, are five months or less.
Although payables in foreign currencies are exposed to the market risk of fluctuation in foreign
currency exchange rates, those risks are hedged by using forward foreign currency contracts.
Maturities of bank loans and long-term debt are six years or less after the balance sheet date.
Derivatives include forward foreign currency contracts, which are used to manage exposure to
market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates of receivables and payables.
(3) Risk Management for Financial Instruments
Credit risk management
Credit risk is the risk of economic loss arising from a counterparty’s failure to repay or service
debt according to the contractual terms. The Company and its subsidiaries manage their credit
risks from receivables on the basis of internal guidelines, which include monitoring of payment
terms and balances of customers to identify the default risk of customers at an early stage.
21
Market risk management
Foreign currency trade receivables and payables are exposed to market risk resulting from
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Such foreign exchange risk is hedged by
forward foreign currency contracts.
Investment securities are managed by monitoring the market values and financial position of
issuers on a regular basis.
Liquidity risk management
Liquidity risk comprises the risk that the Group cannot meet its contractual obligations in full on
maturity dates. The Group manages its liquidity risk by holding adequate volumes of liquid
assets, along with adequate financial planning by the planning and accounting department.
(4) Fair Values of Financial Instruments
Fair values of financial instruments are based on quoted price in active markets. If a quoted
price is not available, another rational valuation technique is used instead.

SEGMENT INFORMATION
Under ASBJ Statement No. 17 “Accounting Standard for Segment Information Disclosures”
and ASBJ Guidance No. 20 “Guidance on Accounting Standard for Segment Information
Disclosures,” an entity is required to report financial and descriptive information about its
reportable segments.
Reportable segments are operating segments or aggregations of operating segments that
meet specified criteria. Operating segments are components of an entity about which
separate financial information is available and such information is evaluated regularly by the
chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance. Generally, segment information is required to be reported on the same basis
as is used internally for evaluating operating segment performance and deciding how to
allocate resources to operating segments.
(1) Description of Reportable Segments
The Group’s reportable segments are those for which separate financial information is
available and regular evaluation by the Company’s management is being performed in order
to decide how resources are allocated among the Group. Therefore, the Group’s reportable
segments consist of three segments: Transport Equipment, Sign and Display, and Industrial
Equipment. Transport Equipment segment manufactures and sells system equipments for
buses and trains and lighting equipments for vehicles. Sign and Display segment
manufactures and sells neon transformers, lighting effect units for outside display, cold
cathode lumps, and power supply units for LED. Industrial Equipment segment consists of
manufacturing and selling terminal readers, power backup units, and rechargers for
battery-driven forklift and board implementation.
(2) Methods of Measurement for the Amounts of Sales, Profit (Loss), Assets, and Other
Items for Each Reportable Segment

LECIP INC.
CODE OF ETHICS
LECIP INC.
CODE OF ETHICS
LECIP Inc. is committed to maintaining the highest standards of ethical conduct and integrity in all
areas of our activities. The Company’s policy is to conduct its business affairs honestly and in an
ethical manner. This Code of Ethics provides a general statement of the expectations of LECIP Inc.
regarding the ethical standards that each director, officer and employee should adhere to while
acting on behalf of the Company. It does not cover every issue that may arise, but it sets out basic
principles to guide all employees, officers and directors of the Company. This Code of Ethics applies
to all directors, officers, full and part time employees, and contract workers. Conduct in violation of
this policy is unacceptable in the workplace and in any work-related setting outside the workplace.
HONEST AND ETHICAL CONDUCT
All directors, officers and employees of LECIP Inc. are required to perform their duties in an honest
and ethical manner.
COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS
You must comply with all federal, state and local laws and governmental regulations applicable to
your activities on behalf of LECIP Inc. If a law conflicts with this Code or another Company policy,
you must comply with the law; however, if a local custom or policy conflicts with this Code, you
must comply with the Code. If you have any questions about the applicability of any law or
regulation to your activities, or the legality of your or your colleagues’ conduct, you should consult
your supervisor or the General Counsel.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
In general, it is not the intent of LECIP Inc. to restrict the right of employees to manage their own
private affairs. However, an employee assumes certain obligations involving
loyalty and trust when employed by LECIP Inc. These obligations may easily be compromised when
a conflict of interest exists. All directors, officers and employees of LECIP Inc. are required to handle
all actual or apparent conflicts of interest in an ethical manner.
In general, a conflict of interest exists when an employee’s private interests interfere or conflict in
any way with the legitimate business interests of LECIP Inc. Examples of actual or potential
conflicts of interest include situations where you or a member of your family:
■
■

receive improper personal benefits (including benefits from a customer, supplier or
competitor) as a result of your position with LECIP Inc;
use LECIP Inc. property for your personal benefit;

CODE OF ETHICS
■
■
■
have a financial interest in a customer, supplier or competitor that is significant enough
to cause divided loyalty with the Company, or the appearance of such divided loyalty;
acquire an interest in property (including intellectual property) in which you have
reason to know LECIP Inc. has, or might have, an interest; or
make gifts or payments, or provide special favors, to customers or suppliers with a
value significant enough to cause them to take an action beneficial to the Company that
they would not otherwise have taken.
It is almost always a conflict of interest for a LECIP Inc. employee to work simultaneously for a
competitor, customer or supplier. You are not allowed to work for a competitor as a director or
consultant. The best policy is to avoid any direct or indirect business connection with our
customers, suppliers or competitors, except on the Company’s behalf. In addition, employees,
officers and directors are prohibited from taking for themselves personally any opportunities that
are discovered through the use of corporate property, information or position, except with the
consent of the Board of Directors.
Many situations where there is some doubt as to whether a conflict of interest exists can be
resolved with proper advice. Conflicts of interest are not always clear-cut. If you are in doubt about
any situation and the potential for a conflict of interest, you should discuss the matter with your
supervisor.
DISCLOSURE
It is of paramount importance to LECIP Inc. that all disclosure in reports and other documents filed
by LECIP Inc. with the Securities and Exchange Commission or in other public communications by
LECIP Inc. is full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable. All officers, directors, employees and
contract workers must take all steps necessary to assist LECIP Inc. in fulfilling these
responsibilities, consistent with each person’s role in the Company. You should give prompt,
accurate answers to all inquiries in connection with LECIP Inc’s preparation of public reports and
disclosures.
LECIP Inc’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Controller (our “Senior Financial
Officers”) each bear a special responsibility with respect to our public disclosure and
communications. Each of our Senior Financial Officers is required to:
■
■
1/10/2014
take all necessary steps to ensure full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable
disclosure in reports that the Company files with, or submits to, governmental agencies
and in other public communications; and
foster a culture throughout LECIP Inc. that ensures the fair and timely reporting of the
Company’s results of operations and financial condition and other financial information.

CODE OF ETHICS
COMPLIANCE
LECIP Inc. is committed to the prompt and consistent enforcement of this Code of Conduct. The
Company will ensure that employees, officers and directors may access this Code of Ethics on the
Company’s website. In addition, each current employee will be provided with a copy of the Code.
New employees will receive a copy of the Code as part of their Employee Manual or new hire
information. From time to time, the Company will sponsor employee training programs in which
the Code and other Company policies and procedures will be discussed.
When an alleged violation of the Code of Ethics is reported, the Company shall take prompt and
appropriate action in accordance with the law and regulations and otherwise consistent with good
business practice.
Any violation of applicable law or any deviation from the standards embodied in this Code of Ethics
will subject you to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. In addition
to imposing discipline upon employees involved in non- compliant conduct, the Company also will
impose discipline, as appropriate, upon an employee’s supervisor, if any, who directs or approves
such employees’ improper actions, or is aware of those actions but does not act appropriately to
correct them, and upon other individuals who fail to report known non-compliant conduct. In
addition to imposing its own discipline, the Company will bring any violations of law to the
attention of appropriate law enforcement personnel.
Any waiver of a violation of this Code of Ethics by an executive officer or director of LECIP Inc. must
be approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, and any such waiver and the reasons for such
waiver must be promptly disclosed to the public.
