II. The Business

(1) Risk Factors

No material changes are recognized pursuant to the risk factors of Canon’s business indicated in the Annual Securities Report (Yukashoken Houkokusho) of the previous fiscal year.

(2) Significant Business Contracts Entered into in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2017

No material contracts were entered into during the three months ended June 30, 2017.

(3) Operating Results

Looking back at the global economy in the first half of 2017, the U.S. economy continued to grow steadily as employment conditions and corporate earnings continued to improve. In Europe, the economy continued to recover moderately, centered on Germany and the U.K. The Chinese economy rallied due to public investments, and the economies of emerging countries realized moderate growth. In Japan, corporate earnings improved and consumer spending showed signs of recovery. As a result, the global economy overall continued to realize moderate growth.

As for the markets in which Canon operates amid these conditions, demand for office multifunction devices (MFDs) remained at around the same level as the previous year, while demand for laser printers continued to recover in emerging countries, centered on China. Demand for cameras shrank moderately while demand for inkjet printers remained at the same level as the previous year. Additionally, there was solid demand for medical equipment, mainly in developed countries. Within the Industry and Others sector, demand for FPD (Flat Panel Display) lithography equipment and OLED display manufacturing equipment enjoyed strong growth thanks to active capital investment by panel manufacturers.

The average values of the yen during the second quarter and the first half of the year were ¥111.12 and ¥112.27 against the U.S. dollar, respectively, year-on-year depreciations of approximately ¥3 and ¥1, and ¥122.36 and ¥121.72 against the euro, respectively, year-on-year at the same level for the second quarter and a year-on-year appreciation of approximately ¥3 for the first half of the year.

[Second-quarter results]

During the second quarter, office MFDs enjoyed solid demand, mainly for color models. The total sales volume of laser printers increased compared with the same period of the previous year amid recovering demand in emerging countries, supported by the increased sales of new models. Although total unit sales of interchangeable-lens digital cameras and compact cameras decreased compared with the same period of the previous year amid the shrinking market, sales of compact-system cameras increased. Looking at inkjet printers, sales volume remained at approximately the same level as the previous year, thanks to such factors as increased sales of refillable ink tank models for emerging countries and new models launched in the previous year. Additionally, sales of semiconductor lithography equipment and manufacturing equipment for OLED displays exceeded those of the previous year, thanks to favorable market conditions. Under these conditions, along with the impact of acquiring Toshiba Medical Systems Corporation (TMSC), second-quarter net sales increased by 15.4% year on year to ¥992.5 billion.

(3) Operating Results (continued)

Although the gross profit ratio dropped by 0.4 points to 49.9% due to the effect of the product mix, gross profit increased by 14.6% year on year to ¥495.6 billion, thanks to such factors as the increase in sales and continuous cost down efforts. Operating expenses increased by 9.7% year on year to ¥399.2 billion mainly due to the impact of acquiring TMSC. As a result, second-quarter operating profit increased by 40.4% to ¥96.3 billion and other income (deductions) decreased by ¥9.2 billion due to foreign currency exchange losses, while income before income taxes increased by 22.9% year on year to ¥99.6 billion and net income attributable to Canon Inc. increased by 29.4% to ¥69.2 billion.

Basic net income attributable to Canon Inc. shareholders per share was ¥63.53 for the second quarter, a year-on-year increase of ¥14.59.

[First-half results]

During the first half, office MFDs enjoyed solid demand, mainly for color models. The total sales volume of laser printers increased compared with the same period of the previous year amid recovering demand in emerging countries, supported by the increased sales of new models. The total unit sales of interchangeable-lens digital cameras remained at approximately the same level as the corresponding period of the previous year, supported by high market share of advanced-amateur and entry-level models, and the healthy demand for compact-system cameras. Sales volume of digital compact cameras decreased compared with the same period of the previous year amid the shrinking market. Looking at inkjet printers, despite for the shrinking market, sales volume remained at approximately the same level as the previous year, thanks to such factors as increased sales of refillable ink tank models for emerging countries and new models launched in the previous year. As for the industrial equipment, sales of FPD lithography equipment and OLED display manufacturing equipment enjoyed strong growth thanks to active capital investment by panel manufacturers. Under these conditions, along with the impact of acquiring TMSC, net sales for the first half of the year increased by 18.6% year on year to ¥1,965.2 billion. Although the gross profit ratio dropped by 1.5 points to 49.0%, gross profit increased by 15.1% year on year to ¥963.9 billion, thanks to such factors as the increase in sales and continuous cost down efforts. Operating expenses increased by 8.7% year on year to ¥791.9 billion mainly due to the impact of acquiring TMSC and first-half operating profit increased by 58.2% to ¥172.0 billion. Other income (deductions) decreased by ¥12.5 billion due to foreign currency exchange losses, while income before income taxes increased by 40.1% to ¥177.6 billion and first-half net income attributable to Canon Inc. increased by 52.6% to ¥124.3 billion.

Basic net income attributable to Canon Inc. shareholders per share was ¥113.98 for the first half, a year-on-year increase of ¥39.41.

(3) Operating Results (continued)

Looking at Canon’s first-half performance by business unit, beginning with the Office Business Unit, unit sales of office MFDs increased from the same period of the previous year, supported by steady sales of newly launched small-office/home-office color A3 (12”x18”) imageRUNNER ADVANCE C3500-series models and A3 (12”x18”) imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5500-series models, launched in the previous year. Among high-speed continuous-feed printers, sales of the Océ-produced VarioPrint i300, a high-speed sheet-fed color inkjet press, increased year on year. As for laser printers, sales of both hardware and consumables increased from the same period of the previous year, supported by steady sales of new models which expand the product lineup. Under these conditions, sales for the combined first six months of the year totaled ¥928.4 billion, a year-on-year increase of 1.9%, while operating profit totaled ¥111.3 billion, a year-on-year increase of 20.6%.

Within the Imaging System Business Unit, in the market of interchangeable-lens digital cameras, unit sales remained at approximately the same level as the corresponding period of the previous year, supported by maintaining high market share especially for advanced-amateur and entry-level models and the increase of the unit sales of compact-system cameras including the newly launched EOS M6. As for digital compact cameras, while sales volume declined amid the shrinking market, sales of high-value-added models enjoyed solid demand, supported by healthy demand for the newly launched G9 X Mark II, part of the high-image-quality PowerShot G-series lineup. As for inkjet printers, newly designed home-use models launched in the previous year and refillable ink tank models that target emerging countries enjoyed strong demand, resulting in unit sales remaining at approximately the same level as the corresponding period of the previous year. As a result, sales for the business unit totaled ¥524.7 billion, a year-on-year increase of 0.5%, while operating profit totaled ¥77.7 billion, a year-on-year increase of 23.7%.

Within the Medical System Business Unit, a newly disclosed business unit as of this quarter, TMSC’s computed tomography products maintained the top share in Japanese market and sales of such diagnostic imaging unit products as diagnostic ultrasound systems and magnetic resonance imaging remained firm. As a result, sales for the business unit totaled ¥220.4 billion while operating profit totaled ¥10.1 billion.

In the Industry and Others Business Unit, sales of FPD lithography equipment and manufacturing equipment for OLED panel devices increased in response to growing demand for high-definition OLED displays used in mobile devices. As for network cameras, under the continuing market growth, sales of network cameras increased considerably compared with the previous year thanks to efforts to strengthen the product lineup. Consequently, sales for the business unit totaled ¥334.9 billion, a year-on-year increase of 24.9%, while operating profit grew by ¥22.0 billion from the previous year to ¥21.9 billion.

Cash Flows

During the first half of 2017, cash flow from operating activities totaled ¥309.1 billion, an increase of ¥67.9 billion compared with the previous year, mainly owing to improvements in profitability. Cash flow from investing activities decreased by ¥668.3 billion year on year to ¥107.8 billion due to the payment made in the previous year for the right to acquire all of the shares of TMSC. Accordingly, free cash flow totaled ¥201.3 billion, an increase of ¥736.2 billion compared with the corresponding year-ago period.

Cash flow from financing activities recorded an outlay of ¥135.1 billion, mainly owing to the dividend payout and the repurchasing of treasury stock.

Owing to these factors, as well as the impact of foreign currency translation adjustments, cash and cash equivalents increased by ¥63.6 billion to ¥693.8 billion from the end of the previous year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have reported our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). In addition, we have discussed our results using “free cash flow,” which is a non-GAAP measure.

We believe this measure, which takes into consideration the Company’s operating and investing activities, is beneficial to an investor’s understanding of Canon’s current liquidity and the alternatives of use in financing activities.

A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure and the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP are set forth on the following table.

CANON INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1) Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Presentation

The Company issued convertible debentures in the United States in May 1969 and established a program in which its American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) were traded in the U.S. over-the-counter market. Since then, under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 and the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company has prepared its annual consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and filed them with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 20-F. The Company’s ADRs were listed on the NYSE in September 2000 after being quoted on NASDAQ from February 1972 to September 2000.

Canon’s quarterly consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain disclosures have been omitted.

The number of consolidated subsidiaries and affiliated companies that were accounted for by the equity method as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are summarized as follows:

	June 30, 2017	December 31, 2016
Consolidated subsidiaries	373	367
Affiliated companies	7	9
Total	380	376

(b) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its majority owned subsidiaries and those variable interest entities where the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries are the primary beneficiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

(c) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new accounting standard related to revenue from contracts with customers. This standard requires an entity to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This standard was originally planned to be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, however, in August 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard update for a one-year deferral of the effective date. Early adoption as of the original effective date is permitted. This standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this standard recognized at the date of initial application. In March 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which clarifies the implementation guidance for principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which clarifies guidance related to identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance. In May 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which amends guidance in the new standard on transition, collectibility, noncash consideration and the presentation of sales and other similar taxes. In December 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which amends guidance in the new standard on disclosure of performance obligations, provisions for losses on certain types of contracts, scoping, and other areas. These standard updates have the same effective date as the original standard. Canon currently plans to apply the modified retrospective method of adoption from the quarter beginning January 1, 2018. While Canon currently does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the timing of revenue recognition, the adoption of this standard is expected to result in change in allocation of revenue between goods and services in Office Business Unit, Medical System Business Unit and Industry and Others Business Unit on its consolidated statements of income. From consolidated balance sheets perspective, the reclassification between receivable and refund liability for variable consideration in Office Business Unit and Imaging System Business Unit may results in the increase of total assets and total liabilities. However, evaluation is still ongoing and it could result in additional impacts on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In January 2016, the FASB issued an amendment which addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. This guidance includes the requirement that equity investments be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized in net income. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted for certain provisions. Canon currently plans to adopt this guidance from the quarter beginning January 1, 2018, and is evaluating the effect that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In February 2016, the FASB issued an amendment which requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets but recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current guidance. For lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. Canon is currently evaluating the adoption date and the effect that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

(1) Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

In October 2016, the FASB issued an amendment which requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. Consequently, the amendments in this guidance eliminate the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. Two common examples of assets included in the scope of this guidance are intellectual property and property, plant, and equipment. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this guidance should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Canon currently plans to adopt this guidance from the quarter beginning January 1, 2018, and is evaluating the effect that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In March 2017, the FASB issued an amendment which requires an entity to disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost and report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component, such as in other income (deductions). The amendments also allow only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization (for example, as a cost of internally manufactured inventory). This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this guidance should be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost, and prospectively for the capitalization of the service cost component of net benefit cost. Canon currently plans to adopt this guidance from the quarter beginning January 1, 2018, and is evaluating the effect that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Maturities of available-for-sale debt securities included in investments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are as follows at June 30, 2017:

	Millions of yen
	Cost		Fair value
Due after five years		328		496
		328		496

Realized gains and losses are determined using the average cost method and are reflected in earnings. The gross realized gains were ¥496 million and nil for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The gross realized losses, including write-downs for impairments that were other than temporary, were ¥5 million and ¥1,032 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The gross realized gains were nil for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The gross realized losses, including write-downs for impairments that were other than temporary, were nil and ¥584 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

At June 30, 2017, substantially all of the available-for-sale securities with unrealized losses had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than twelve months.

Time deposits with original maturities of more than three months are ¥17,529 million and ¥3,206 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and are included in short-term investments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Aggregate cost of non-marketable equity securities accounted for under the cost method totaled ¥3,205 million and ¥7,800 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. These investments were not evaluated for impairment at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, because (a) Canon did not estimate the fair value of those investments as it was not practicable to estimate the fair value of the investments and (b) Canon did not identify any events or changes in circumstances that might have had significant adverse effects on the fair value of those investments.

(6) Acquisition

On December 19, 2016, Canon acquired all the ordinary shares of TMSC for consideration of ¥665,498 million. Limited immaterial adjustments were recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2017. However, the purchase price allocation remains preliminary as of June 30, 2017, and the estimates and assumptions are subject to change as Canon obtains further information specifically supporting the fair values of intangible assets including customer relationships, for which certain underlying analyses were based on overall estimates rather than detail information for each of the individual operations.

The unaudited pro forma net sales for the six and three months ended June 30, 2016 as if TMSC had been included in Canon’s consolidated statements of income from January 1, 2016 were ¥ 1,871,297 million and ¥ 939,998 million, respectively. Pro forma net income was not disclosed because the impact on Canon’s consolidated statements of income was not material.

(7) Short-Term Loans and Long-Term Debt

Short-term loans consisting of bank borrowings at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were ¥30,052 million and ¥601 million, respectively.

On March 15, 2016, Canon entered into a provisional borrowing agreement with a bank which matures in 2017 for acquiring TMSC. On January 31, 2017, Canon refinanced this borrowing to ¥610,000 million unsecured revolving credit facilities expiring in December 2021. The outstanding loans under the credit facilities are ¥610,000 million at a floating interest of 0.04% as of June 30, 2017.

(12) Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Risk management policy

Canon operates internationally, exposing it to the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Derivative financial instruments are comprised principally of foreign exchange contracts utilized by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to reduce the risk. Canon assesses foreign currency exchange rate risk by continually monitoring changes in the exposures and by evaluating hedging opportunities. Canon does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Canon is also exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to derivative financial instruments, but it is not expected that any counterparties will fail to meet their obligations. Most of the counterparties are internationally recognized financial institutions and selected by Canon taking into account their financial condition, and contracts are diversified across a number of major financial institutions.

Foreign currency exchange rate risk management

Canon’s international operations expose Canon to the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Canon uses foreign exchange contracts to manage certain foreign currency exchange exposures principally from the exchange of U.S. dollars and euros into Japanese yen. These contracts are primarily used to hedge the foreign currency exposure of forecasted intercompany sales and intercompany trade receivables that are denominated in foreign currencies. In accordance with Canon’s policy, a specific portion of foreign currency exposure resulting from forecasted intercompany sales are hedged using foreign exchange contracts which principally mature within three months.

Cash flow hedge

Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges, including foreign exchange contracts associated with forecasted intercompany sales, are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). These amounts are subsequently reclassified into earnings through other income (deductions) in the same period as the hedged items affect earnings. Substantially all amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of June 30, 2017 are expected to be recognized in earnings over the next twelve months. Canon excludes the time value component from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Changes in the fair value of a foreign exchange contract for the period between the date that the forecasted intercompany sales occur and its maturity date are recognized in earnings and not considered hedge ineffectiveness.

Derivatives not designated as hedges

Canon has entered into certain foreign exchange contracts to primarily offset the earnings impact related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with certain assets denominated in foreign currencies. Although these foreign exchange contracts have not been designated as hedges as required in order to apply hedge accounting, the contracts are effective from an economic perspective. The changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded in earnings immediately.

(13) Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Commitments

As of June 30, 2017, commitments outstanding for the purchase of property, plant and equipment approximated ¥20,508 million, and commitments outstanding for the purchase of parts and raw materials approximated ¥125,918 million.

Canon occupies sales offices and other facilities under lease arrangements accounted for as operating leases. Deposits made under such arrangements aggregated ¥13,358 million and ¥13,128 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and are included in noncurrent receivables in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Future minimum lease payments required under noncancelable operating leases are ¥25,427 million (within one year) and ¥59,117 million (after one year), at June 30, 2017.

Guarantees

Canon provides guarantees for bank loans of its employees, affiliates and other companies. The guarantees for the employees are principally made for their housing loans. The guarantees of loans of its affiliates and other companies are made to ensure that those companies operate with less financial risk.

For each guarantee provided, Canon would have to perform under a guarantee if the borrower defaults on a payment within the contract periods of 1 year to 30 years, in the case of employees with housing loans, and of 1 year to 5 years, in the case of affiliates and other companies. The maximum amount of undiscounted payments Canon would have had to make in the event of default is ¥7,576 million at June 30, 2017. The carrying amounts of the liabilities recognized for Canon’s obligations as a guarantor under those guarantees at June 30, 2017 were not significant.

Canon also issues contractual product warranties under which it generally guarantees the performance of products delivered and services rendered for a certain period or term. Estimated product warranty costs are recorded at the time revenue is recognized and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Estimates for accrued product warranty costs are based on historical experience. Changes in accrued product warranty cost for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are summarized as follows:

Legal proceedings

Canon is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Canon has recorded provisions for liabilities when it is probable that liabilities have been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Canon reviews these provisions at least quarterly and adjusts these provisions to reflect the impact of the negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Based on its experience, although litigation is inherently unpredictable, Canon believes that any damage amounts claimed in outstanding matters are not a meaningful indicator of Canon’s potential liability. In the opinion of management, any reasonably possible range of losses from outstanding matters would not have a material adverse effect on Canon’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Regarding the receipt of a Statement of Objections from the European Commission

On July 6, 2017, Canon received a Statement of Objections from the European Commission (“the Commission”) relating to a suspected breach of the notification requirement and the standstill obligation under European competition law concerning the acquisition of TMSC (“the Acquisition”). The Statement of Objections is a document which summarizes the preliminary view of the Commission but does not represent the final decision of the Commission. Once the Commission issues its final ruling, Canon could appeal to the European Court of Justice. Canon will respond in due course upon careful examination of the Statement. Even if the breach of the notification requirement and the standstill obligation is finally recognized, neither the receipt of the Statement of Objections nor the final decision to be rendered by the Commission will affect the effectiveness of the approval for the Acquisition obtained from the Commission on September 19, 2016. The ultimate impact, if any, on Canon’s consolidated operating result and financial position is not reasonably estimable at this time.

(14) Disclosures about the Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Concentrations of Credit Risk

Fair value of financial instruments

The estimated fair values of Canon’s financial instruments at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are set forth below. The following summary excludes cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, finance receivables, noncurrent receivables, short-term loans, trade payables and accrued expenses for which fair values approximate their carrying amounts. The summary also excludes investments and derivative instruments which are disclosed in Note 2 and Note12, respectively.

	Millions of yen
	June 30, 2017				December 31, 2016
	Carrying     amount		Estimated     fair value		Carrying     amount		Estimated     fair value
Long-term debt, including current installments		(622,838)		(622,820)		(612,538)		(612,668)

The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value in the above table.

Long-term debt

Canon’s long-term debt instruments are classified as Level 2 instruments and valued based on the present value of future cash flows associated with each instrument discounted using current market borrowing rates for similar debt instruments of comparable maturity. The levels are more fully described in Note 15.

Limitations of fair value estimates

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Concentrations of credit risk

At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, one customer accounted for approximately 11% and 12% of consolidated trade receivables, respectively. Although Canon does not expect that the customer will fail to meet its obligations, Canon is potentially exposed to concentrations of credit risk if the customer failed to perform according to the terms of the contracts.

(15) Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value is as follows:

Level 1 -	Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 -	Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 -	Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable, which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in establishing a price.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The following tables present Canon’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consistent with the fair value hierarchy at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Level 1 investments are comprised principally of Japanese equity securities, which are valued using an unadjusted quoted market price in active markets with sufficient volume and frequency of transactions. Level 2 cash and cash equivalents are valued based on market approach, using quoted prices for identical assets in markets that are not active.

Derivative financial instruments are comprised of foreign exchange contracts. Level 2 derivatives are valued using quotes obtained from counterparties or third parties, which are periodically validated by pricing models using observable market inputs, such as foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, based on market approach.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

During the six and three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, there were no circumstances that required any significant assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

(16) Supplemental Information

Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions, including foreign exchange contracts, and translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are included in other income (deductions) in the consolidated statements of income. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses were a net loss of ¥3,465 million and a net gain of ¥10,680 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and were a net loss of ¥2,254 million and a net gain of ¥7,622 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were ¥28,030 million and ¥28,314 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and were ¥16,325 million and ¥16,549 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

(16) Supplemental Information (continued)

Finance receivables represent financing leases which consist of sales-type leases and direct-financing leases resulting from the sales of Canon’s and complementary third-party products. These receivables typically have terms ranging from 1 year to 6 years. Finance receivables are ¥331,069 million and ¥256,116 million at June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Finance receivables which are individually evaluated for impairment at June 30, 2017 and 2016 are not significant.

The activities in the allowance for credit losses are as follows:

Canon has policies in place to ensure that its products are sold to customers with an appropriate credit history, and continuously monitors its customers’ credit quality based on information including length of period in arrears, macroeconomic conditions, initiation of legal proceedings against customers and bankruptcy filings. The allowance for credit losses of finance receivables are evaluated collectively based on historical experience of credit losses. An additional reserve for individual accounts is recorded when Canon becomes aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings. Finance receivables which are past due at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are not significant.

Canon records amounts received in advance from customers in excess of revenue recognized primarily for sales of industrial equipment and product maintenance contracts as deferred revenue until the revenue recognition criteria are satisfied. Deferred revenue were ¥133,934 million and ¥102,298 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and are included in other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

(17) Segment Information

Canon operates its business in four segments: the Office Business Unit, the Imaging System Business Unit, the Medical System Business Unit, and the Industry and Others Business Unit, which are based on the organizational structure and information reviewed by Canon’s management to evaluate results and allocate resources.

Based on the realignment of Canon’s internal reporting and management structure, Canon newly established Medical System Business Unit effective at the beginning of the second quarter of 2017, and certain businesses included in Industry and Others Business Unit have been reclassified. Segment information for the six and three months ended June 30, 2017 have reflected this change. Operating results for the six and three months ended June 30, 2016 were not restated since they were not material.

The primary products included in each segment are as follows:

Office Business Unit: Office multifunction devices (MFDs) / Laser multifunction printers (MFPs)/ Laser printers / Digital production printing systems / High speed continuous feed printers / Wide-format printers / Document solutions

Imaging System Business Unit: Interchangeable lens digital cameras / Digital compact cameras / Digital camcorders / Digital cinema cameras / Interchangeable lenses / Compact photo printers / Inkjet printers / Large format inkjet printers / Commercial photo printers / Image scanners / Multimedia projectors / Broadcast equipment / Calculators
